I'm so glad this seems fun. I love them since Kiss Me Again, but Dark Blue Kiss was a soap opera (watch the intro), and Cherry Magic was so cheesy and had such a stupid premise. Sorry, fans! I know it was a Japanese remake. This one looks cool, though. I hope it will be good. I would love to see those two more often together in a fun and mature series. Being fun and playful is their thing. I never understood why they were only doing cheesy soap opera.
Dropped at the beginning of episode 5. I like the actors a lot, but the whole kissing-you-was-a-mistake thing is too stupid. I'm not gonna watch them deny their feelings for the upcoming episodes. I have better things to do.
I was thinking only about the body. He could be standing in the middle of the street and I wouldn't notice. Can…
It's the webtoon aesthetic. I have never seen such a guy with such broad shoulders and muscles outside of Korean webtoons. On the bright side: they are bringing "men" back. I‘m a bit tired of those very boyish almost feminine looking guys we see especially in Chinese drama, but also in Korean drama.
Out of topic, but that shower scene made me laugh. Great body, yes, but I was laughing at the bathroom. When you reached peak wealth, you're going back to the cave or what? Nowadays, being wealthy means having a tree standing in your living room, or a bathroom that looks like you're stuck between two rocks. We reached the end of design ideas, now we are going back to nature.
I can't remember when it was the last time I enjoyed a romance series or a fantasy romance series. I mean, I tried, you know. But they were all so generic and boring. Just always the same stuff over and over again, and the biggest problem: the lack of charismatic actors. But those two seem fire.
Saying to someone "you're much cooler, raw and much warmer" after he told you how the suffering of others makes him excited, is peak romance in 2026. We connect with each other by hating the world, everyone in it, and ourselves. Our hate and jealousy eats our souls away. Our inability to create the life we dreamed of makes us bitter, ugly, desperate and crazy. Now lets kiss.
This will be a fun ride, because there is a lot I have to criticize about this series. The script tries too hard to sound smart. The emotion watch is a good example. The silliest thing I have seen in a while. Now we need a new word for an emotion that consists of three different emotions with 10% unknown.
I'm only at episode 2, but I thought this is about being passionate about their craft, creatives being overly dramatic, but this is only about ego. About approval. About success. Wouldn't make a difference if those people are lawyers, architects or athletes.
I'm not mad about it. I was, but not anymore. It seems they like to do action/mystery series. When I see how GMMTV treated Dare You To Death or Kidnap, it looks like non BL series get a higher budget. Not Me and Heart Killers were not bad, but still, the high budget and the talented folks work on non BL series unless it's high school series where everyone and his dog is gay. Those series sell well and are high quality. So unless you want to do cheesy high school college stories, there is no guarantee the series is high quality. Just my observation. I can be wrong. They are more going for the cool vibe with both characters not falling into typical top/bottom stereotypes. There is just not much of a market for that. Other popular mystery BL series like Khemjira or The Sign are always going down the sexual soap opera route. Maybe they aren't into that.
Ok, serious comment coming in: I had zero expectations regarding this series. Both trailers were meh. I don't care if this is BL or bromance, but I wasn't really sold on their chemistry from what I have seen in both trailers. The premise of the story didn't do much for me either. I was expecting this series being mediocre, perhaps some kind of fan service to boost their popularity after Highschool Frenemy. Just to milk their success and make more money, because that's what GMMTV likes to do. But the series is good. It's really good. Not gonna lie, but in both trailers I felt that the acting and their intensity wasn't there anymore. But in the episode: it was there. I especially like Nani as an actor. He is very intense, very alluring, very emotional, a joy to watch. There is something about him, I can't explain it, but it draws me into the character and the series. Sky is also doing a good job, I would even say he is doing a better job than in Highschool Frenemy, where is character felt a bit bland. I also like that their dynamics are different than in Highschool Frenemy, and there is an interesting power balance. In their previous series Nani was the weaker one, while Sky was some kind of super fighter. In this series Nani is the one who has a fragment of a demon in him. The did well with the casting. Sky looks so young and cute. I love it if they mix it up and don't play the same roles/charcters over and over again. So yes, much much better than expected. I look forward to this. Those two will undoubtly do their thing (whatever it is, romance or bromance or something in between) and we will all be happy.
Not a fan. Their last drama had some issues regarding the story, but it was so enchanting and captivating with a dreamy atmosphere and breathtaking acting. This one was just meh. Story, acting, pace, production - not bad, but not great either.
I love the leads, chemistry and acting is great, but the plot is not engaging. I expected a better series. They have so much potential, but the story is a let-down. Same in Breeze of Love.
On the bright side: they are bringing "men" back. I‘m a bit tired of those very boyish almost feminine looking guys we see especially in Chinese drama, but also in Korean drama.

So she can be as miserable as you are – because she has to spend her life with you.
