So... I'm happy that it's finally finished because it was bad... really bad. The plot was ridiculous, the acting was awful and the directing was inexistant. There are so many laughable things in this drama that I would need hours to finish writing them. I can at least point out a few from this last episode.
- I don't understand the drama's concept of being a bodyguard. Their boss is Kamol so they are supposed to obey his orders (and maybe Kim's orders as well because Kamol allowed it), so why are they listening to Danil's orders?... Isn't he just a guest? Also, they know that they can't trust him...
- Danil's change of heart for Kim was so weird... At one point, he's happy to finally manage to get rid of him, and one minute later, he's trying to save him from kidnappers. Wouldn't it have been easier to let him be kidnapped?... Also, yelling "let me go" all the time won't make your kidnappers let you go... Just saying...
- Why are Baiboon and Khom at Kim's parents'? That was so random, I didn't understand... I really didn't need to see them. Sorry, but contrary to a lot of people, I hated this ship. Baiboon was an idiot. An idiot that fell on his bum but gets an injured knee (that was also very... laughable).

Anyway, I can continue like this for hours but I'm going to stop here. I marked this thing a 2 because I still managed to finish it and it was kind of entertaining at the beginning. But I wouldn't recommand this drama to anyone.

I stumbled upon this drama on Netflix by chance and, after watching the trailer, it immediately piqued my interest. And this drama is indeed fantastic. I think I've never cried that much watching a drama before. Some cases are really hard to watch but so interesting at the same time. And I love the fact that there are no villains in this drama. Just people having their own qualities and flaws. I absolutely loved it!

It was definitely better than the drama and even the SP as it has an original case (finally!) based on a very well-known Japanese case. The thing that I really liked was Saegusa's fight scene at the hotel (it was really well done) but again... no proper ending with them reunited... I just wish they are not going to drag it again with another sequel and that is just how they wanted to end things.

Acting-wise, this special was way better than the drama. At least, Sakaguchi Kentaro was not getting angry and yelling every five seconds. For once, he was calm and collected and he looked more like a mature and intelligent police officer. That was more pleasant to watch.
Story-wise, I didn't like it. I expected Sakurai and Saegusa to solve Oyama's disappearance case and to finally discover what happened to him but no. They took another case from the Korean version that is actually related to the burglary case from the drama but they probably didn't have time to do it, so they did it here instead. The changes were kind of okay but I really would've prefered something new.
Also, I didn't like this open ending again and just discovered that there is also a film. It is time for them to stop...

I really hope that this Thai version do justice to the Korean drama because the Japanese version messed up on so many levels!!

That's where our opinions differ. Because I quite like the direction of this series and I think the writing really fits the plot. Also, Sea may not be a great actor but he's good! The scene in episode 4 in which he asks Puen to stop playing with his feelings really moved me. He really delivered in that scene.

Wow! Thank you so much! Even though, I was talking about the instrumental version of the Have I Found song. The one they used for the opening and at the end of each part. They probably won't release it as it is only the beginning of the song extended.

I really don't know why people are bashing Jimmy's acting skills, I just read some very mean comments on this page and I wanted to respond. It's very true that Thai series have rarely been good acting wise (it's tended to improve these past few years but there are still a LOT of series coming out every year with actors who are not good). But I think people tend to get used to it. However, Jimmy is definitely NOT one of those actors. And thank you for noticing that from UMWA. Ohm may be a good looking guy playing in a popular series but he only has one facial expression throughout the series...

I'm not one to post a comment before the series ends but I feel like I have to after reading too many unjust negative comments.

I won't talk much about Jimmy's acting because everyone is entitled to their own opinions about acting but I'm just gonna give my opinion about his acting. He is definitely not the worst actors out there in the industry and you have to remember that it is only his second series (I don't count Enchanté as he barely appears in it). Some experienced actors still cannot act as good as him so I think that wishing him to go back to being a doctor is a bit harsh.

If you don't like the slow pacing plot (yes, because there is a plot), don't watch, then! A lot of us like this slow burn and this realistic development. Also, we already got two kissing scenes when only 4 episodes are out, so I don't call that slow compared to other thai shows.

Speaking of kisses, I've seen some people complaining about the one at the end of episode 4. What did you expect? Tongues? Come on! Puen took Talay by surprise. Talay could even potentially reject Puen so, of course, they were not going to move or anything. I personnally think this kiss was perfect and much better than the usual "our lips barely touch because we don't want to kiss a man" kiss. Let's wait kisses that the two main leads want before judging.

I love this series since the first episode and I think it gets better and better. The directing, editing and acting are superb and I especially love the colouring and the music. The colours of this series are beautiful and I love that they match the title of each episode. As for the music, I loved it so much that I tried to find it on YouTube (unfortunately, only the OST is out).

As for the one that don't like the show, you are free to not like it for whatever reasons (even though, I may not agree with you). I just wanted to defend a beautiful series that deserves better because this series is much better than a lot of sh*tty series that are usually praised.

It doesn't make any sense (or I'm too stupid to understand the story). It started off okay (a bit boring because nothing was really happening) but then... it became weird out of the blue and without any explanations whatsoever.

I dropped it after two episodes. I couldn't even finish the second episode after what Ben said to Jim about his family. Like Ben is the creepy guy that watches Jim's naked torso through his window, that films him without his consent AND that posts the said video on social media but he has the AUDACITY to be mad at him just because he's just stating the fact that the video is circulating on gay social media pages?!
Also, he's complaining about the fact that gays are afraid to come out to their straight friends because if they do so, the friends will think that they would hit on them, but he is the exact example of this case so why complain? I wouldn't say anything if he genuilely consider Jim as just a friend but he's absolutely not and he's a total creep about it.
So, that makes this mini-series the second filipino series that I dropped after Quaranthings (even though, I watched more episode from this series). Can't they do better series such as Hello Stranger or Gaya sa Pelikula? These series were so good that I expected better from the Philippines after that.

I binge-watched this drama yesterday and it was amazing. I personally think this is one of the best J-BL drama of this year (for the moment, as the year hasn't ended yet). It is unfortunately very short but it has everything that an excellent drama has: a good story, very good actors (I fell in love with Kimura Tatsunari), a good direction and editing... It has also something that Japanese BLs or dramas in general don't have: good kisses. I've read a lot of comments of people complaining about the lack of kisses but I absolutely don't agree with them! First, there IS a kiss scene which you don't even have one in recent dramas like Cherry Magic or Keita Atsukoi, for instance. Second, the kiss (or kisses) was way better than what you usually see in J-dramas in which the actors' lips barely touch (Fukou-kun wa kiss suru shikanai is the most recent example). So, to me, this drama was perfect and I already want to watch it again even though I've just watched it yesterday.

"I know a lot of people are going to say that it's so great that the top asked for consent multiple times. On a level tho....a mob gangster that's interested mainly in bdsm asking like that is so unrealistic that it became cringey."
No... I assure you. I'm one of those who likes consent in BL dramas but I thought the same thing as you watching this scene. It was really weird to see a supposedly mafia boss that likes it rough in bed asking multiple times if the guy was drunk and if he really agrees to this. Especially after the scene in which we can see one of his s*x partner crying after the night they had. Not realistic at all...

I don't think Ji Woo meant it like this. He said he thought about her a lot, yes, but it could have been just after the break up. I'm pretty sure he forgot about her when he met Seo Jun. Anyway, that's how I interpreted what he said, I may be wrong.

I've waited this drama to end for me to binge watch it and it was worth it! I really liked the plot, the actors and the chemistry between the two main leads. I want more and I hope they will shoot a second season or a film because I feel like this is not the end.

I've dropped it... even though it is very short... But I couldn't stand Judah's character anymore. At least, Rocky's character is better written, it's a shame that is counterpart is unsufferable.

It was an okay series. I've seen way worse than this. The main problem of this series is - as a lot of people already said - the script. I would also add the direction and the editing (sometimes it was kind of weird). The last episode is also a big problem as it rushes important things that needed to be explained. However, the actors were good and I was happy to see Han Gi Chan in another BL after Where Your Eyes Linger.

I expected nothing from this film (knowing beforehand that it was mostly composed of flashbacks from the series), and I was still disappointed... I mean, I was ready for the flashbacks so that's fine by me, but what about the rest?... There's nothing more. We have quick scenes of most of the actors from the series - which is nice, don't get me wrong -, but they didn't add anything to the original source.
Also, I was hoping for a proposal which turned out to be nothing more than a promise to be together, and even though, I'm used to be disappointed by this series by now, the most disappointed thing was actually the fact that Tine's parents don't know about Sarawat. I mean, they've been together for about 4 years and they even live together, and yet, Tine never told his parents that he had a boyfriend? Ok, the parents are quick to catch up but it's something that I have difficulties to understand...
Anyway, I'll probably rewatch this series one day because I honestly really liked it (if we forget about the ending) but I won't rewatch this film.

The first episode was honestly really enjoyable but then... it went down the drain...

They made changes where they didn't need to (Anda's character is supposed to really like drawing mangas - he wants to be a mangaka - but is bad at drawing which is not the case in this series...) and they kept things that they should've changed (the non consensual kisses, for example...).

Apart from Tee, Jet and the parents, I would've probably stopped watching the series after episode 2 or 3. Although, I was a bit confused with Tee and Jet's relationship at first (while their relationship should be clear since the very beginning), I really enjoyed Tee's character. He was really fun to watch. But Anda's character was really not to my liking and that's a big problem when he is the main character.

The end was disastrous. Anda's breaking up with Ryo to "save his future" but his future is already ruined as everyone has already seen the photos. Totally illogical. Then, the "I will stop him because he obviously will listen to me" when the press conference has already started... And I won't talk about the kisses in front of the camera (I'm sorry, but I found that really inappropriate). I've never wanted to stop watching a series 15 minutes before the end of the said series...

Anyway, I'm happy and relieved to have finished it but that's only a 3/10 for me.

It's already come out on Hulu. Someone posted some of the clips (you can see the post in the Recent Discussions section. It was posted by Aeon). I haven't found all of the clips subbed, though :/
