such a calm, mature, and realistic watch, i loved it!! also, Tamaki was so emotionally intelligent, especially for a high-schooler. his interactions and overall flow with the MLs, as well as his reaction to them coming out were all really beautiful <3
you can't get over, but you can rewatch it for thousands of time and rewatch hundreds of amazing edits😭
believe me my TT fyp is filled w LUAT edits now and i couldn't be happier. but ur right, i think a rewatch w no stress abt the ending, might make my yearning heart full again 😩💕
i havent seen it yet, but you guys scare me with your comments.I need to know, is it slooooooooow? Bcs I saw some…
i certainly wouldn't categorize this as a slow series, or a slow-burn romance. it was actually quite rushed overall. sometimes to the point that you'd think when did they even fall in love? did i miss something? most of the comments, including mine, are mainly pointing at the scriptwriting, which was quite poor. the first 5 episodes were very whimsical, and after that, it all becomes too bland and predictable. but honestly, if you are a pearlpeak fan, you absolutely should give this a chance. hopefully their acting and chemistry can overpower the weird production flaws. i have to agree with Joylinerennie that it was an easy watch overall. but of course, if the first couple episodes didn't hook you in, then it's simply not for you xx
i love PearlPeak so much!! they are always so whimsical and beautiful together, with great chemistry. overall, i liked Flower Boy, despite the obvious production flaws, and i really needed more character development, not only for ScentGaysorn, also for MekinRay. and the fact that we didn't have a longer honeymoon-phase really leaves me craving more for PearlPeak. i have STRONG OPINIONS on how the ending was curated by our 3 directors, but oh well!! really wish the boys could receive a better script for their next project!!
what a beautiful show!! performance of the cast, cinematography, scriptwriting, and directing were all brilliant!! to me, K'Den has hands of gold, and he really did another fantastic job here 🙂↕️ also i can't express enough how much i appreciate Net's micro-expressions, and the extent of his eye-acting. he just emotes everything so well in my opinion, and i'm so proud of him for this 🥹 it was an an easy 10/10 for me!!
so happy that we get to see new works from JossGawin, TayNew, and PondPhuwin in 2026. my worries after Replay's cancellation are gone now!! also i love time loop elements in series, so i'm super excited for this one <3
honestly i loved s2 so much more than s1. it was way less toxic, and felt more like an enjoyable ride to me. also, Mix and Boom's performances blew my mind!!
and i'm super glad that Boston wasn't the center anymore, and overall, he seemed like a better person compared to s1.
i'm now looking forward to s3, with Great (and Bright), and other CPs. would love to see a new director again, too!!
ahhh i love Sammy's Children's Day so much!! their chemistry and performance was absolutely brilliant, and the slow-burn was beautifully done. honestly tho the only thing keeping me sane atp is that XiZhao already confirmed that we will get a season 2. i really need more of them!!
"To My Star S2" reminded me so much of "At 25:00, in Akasaka S2". watching CPs in S2 is always so different from S1 to me, cause the struggles and untold emotions will start to surface as the CP's so-called "honeymoon phase" disappears. them starting to put their careers at priority now that they are fulfilled romance-wise, also them starting to have other emotions now that their "love blindness" goes away slowly. also, in both series one partner seems to have so much more maturity, emotional intelligence/EQ, and love for the other one: always forgiving, running after, yearning, reaching out, and apologizing. in the end, S2 of both series seemed very real and emotionally raw to me, making it a heavy, yet beautiful ride to me.
phew i felt the angst deep in my heart!! what a ride!! realistic, beautiful, rough, sad, and eventually, satisfying. the feelings it gave me and the amount of tears i shed reminded me of The Eighth Sense. i really crave more of this CP, and to me, the yearning was real and the cherry on top. some of the scenes from their teenage years even reminded me of my own high school years. i always look back and wonder what if one of us was brave enough to confess, regardless of how our society or our parents reacted. and honestly, watching Ju Yeong putting his feelings so beautifully out there just heals a part of me and my heart. anyways this is a series that i will go back to if i need a heartwarming love along with a good cry <3
timelines in the first 2 eps were extremely confusing to me. i actually had to re-watch ep 2, which didn't help much. but it got better from ep 3 onwards. also happy to see the bad people reach deserved endings!! chemistry and nc scenes were good too. anyone who is interested should definitely give this a try after reading the tags!!
Slowburns are my absolute fav shows ever HOWEVER, this wasn't it. The show was doing so well until about halfway…
THIS!! came to comment the exact same thing. the words that kept repeating in my mind throughout the whole series, especially the 2nd half, were "anti-climatic" and "painful slow-burn"!! bear in mind i love slow-burns, too; but poor writing just killed this for me.
is this normal for Netflix? i could swear this had 9 eps until last night, and it was showing that the "last episode" will be uploaded today, March 9th. i go to watch the finale today, just to find out i need to wait another week for episode 10, like what? are you playing me? i will forget everything i watched so far until next week with my goldfish brain TT
