Surprisingly quite good
The synopsis is so ridiculous that I've to watch it lol...This is epic manga style cringe. So, it's not for everyone, but if you're used to manga, you can kinda close one eyes for it.I did find some episodes really cringey, yet it's surprisingly nice to watch. There's an actual storyline that keeps me clicking next. It's also such an old-school scifi style of storyline which we haven't seen for a while, so I kinda like it really
I have not read the manga, but it felt like it might be a close adaptation, at least image wise, because, seriously i've never seen such ridiculous scenes in drama before
Overall, I quite enjoy it, had good laughs at some point and the indirect reference to BTS is pretty cool
It's not the kind of show I'll put on top of my list but would be a nice break from the usual drama, kind of to watch something different and shake things up a little.

More touching than it looks!
If it's up to Angel Krit, I probably won't enjoy it as much. But, P'Phum and P'Shan save the show? Boy, they are two really fine men that I want to see more of.Acting is good, especially for P'Phum. I also enjoy the storyline, although I'm not a big ship for Krit and Phum,
But, boy, this show is way more touching than it looks. The 1st 2 episodes made me think it's gonna be some comedy style BL, but turns out to have lots touching moments. It has some great lessons about life & death too.
Also, seeing the actor who play Jeff in Pitbabe acting here is like a bonus point.
Overall, I enjoy the show more than I thought I'd. I'm glad I didn't let the comments/rating affect me

It's not your typical "follow your dreams" show
At first, I thought this is going to be another typical "dreams come true" story, boy was I wrong. What makes this unique is that it's inspired by true story. I'd love to meet a family like that, how fun are they!?Firstly, it is a unique perspective to be seeing family photos like this in the "art scene". I mean, most award winning photographs we often see are like nature, still photograph, or just anything but something that looks like a "family photo album". Yet, this man did it.
Secondly, it shows us how important photos can be. In digital world where taking photos are so easy, the art is sometimes taken for granted. Yet, when one's family got hit by Tsunami, suddenly these photos become precious moments that are left. I really love how ML took the photo for the little girls' family. That really got me choked up in tears.
Thirdly, it teaches us to continue showing up. If no one wants to publish you, do your own exhibition. All it takes is one person to spot you. But, it takes showing up consistently. This actually reminds me a little bit of La La Land
Overall, it's really worth watching. It's so healing, touching and inspiring.
Honestly to me, this is more about family love than following your dream per se, although that's big part of the show

I find it cute but I'm puzzled
I actually enjoyed 80% of the show, until towards the ending, because it's so abrupt and puzzlingWhy did Tommy suddenly leave just because he wants to pursue music? I mean, did they break up or what is it? There's a one year gap left unexplained and then, suddenly they met and kiss like nothing has happened?
This really bugs me, and honestly, ending of a show is important. It's like the last 20% ruined the good moments of the other 80%, ugh...
Otherwise, I actually really enjoyed the front part, especially love the ML that plays chef! It's also fresh to see a new face in BL, Holland. I've heard about him but cool to see him act too
I love their chemistry and all. It's slow paced, healing, and just cute moments, except the ending
It's probably not as bad as MLD rating make it out to be, but I'd say it's the disappointment in the plothole that makes the rating drop. At least, we got a happy ending, otherwise, I'd be throwing my laptop LOL

FL almost ruined everything
If I'm rating based on Baek Beom alone, this drama would be 11/10!Granted, he can be harsh but there's a backstory to it, which is already mentioned in synopsis, duh! Plus, his comment makes sense, despite the tone being harsh
Now, the 2nd FL is a typical spoilt princess trying to prove herself. Wearing high heels to crime scene, touch body without gloves and then upset just because she is told off. Hello?! Even I, a non-prosecutor know you shouldn't do all this, and you, don't know? What have you been doing in law school? What's worse is she often go around shouting and screaming and throwing her tantrum at Baek Beom, like hello?! Oh gosh.
The saving grace is at least she is smart and is useful at times (not always, btw) and she does get better, holy cow. There are more than once I almost dropped the show ebcause of her. I've been staying because of Baek beom and the storyline, as I love forensic + prosecutor +detective combined!
The other male prosecutor is another annoying one. He has been having confirmation bias since day 1 and dares to call himself prosecutor. But, thanks God he quit and realized his mistakes
Towards the end, the two main annoying characters get better, hence making me wanna watch S2, otherwise I seriously can't stand more of them lol
Plus, the addition of the new prosecutor is a bonus. This is what i'm talking about. Someone who is fierce, bold, daring, but realistic, reasonable and cool, all at same time. No princess tantrum or prince tantrum for that matter
At first, I wish the ML is hotter, but then I grew to like Baek Beom character more and more, so all is well LOL

Darf af
I dunno how I ended up watching this movie but I did LOL...Oh well, the title says it allBut, I was mistaken by the poster that doesn't look as dark, but its actually darker than it looks. Especially, don't get fooled by that cute ML face like I did. lol
Yet, I enjoyed watching it, it's engaging, entertaining and plot twists after plot twists.
If you're into crime, thriller, action, go for this.
If you're okay with that, its cool to watch. Althou, I must say..I love the ML!

Great humor but sth is missing
I love the little pre-opening scene for each episode. It's cute and special. I enjoy watching the show, it made me laugh almost at every episode, even the kidnapping scene is so funny.I guess I can relate to the jokes better since I understand the language. i do realize jokes can lose its humor when translated since thats what happened to me when I watch other BL too
I really enjoy them as couple, although we only get to see their lovey dovey scenes in last episode
I don't really enjoy overall story as it's quite draggy. Like, all they need is just to communicate. Also, they don't really make my heart flutter when I watched them, for whatever reason. For this reason, I actually take some time to finish the show, when usually I tend to binge
I can't find what exactly is missing but sth is just not quite there.
Although, oevrall its a easy to watch, lighthearted show. Good for some laughs and just relaxacton

Perplexed but really love the couples!
10/10 for the romance! I love how there's 3 CP across generations. My fav is Ai Di & Chen Yi: I can really feel their chemistry, care and passion for another. Of course, our main couple is also so sweet, esp Zong Yi, with his "Strawberry Day". That's like the sweetest most romantic thing I've watched in BL!I give 8.5 for series as overall as there are bits & pieces that bothered me. I find the pacing isn't well distributed. It was actually quite slow and boring at beginning, and suddenly everything was packed towards the end. I feel the side story about the gangster life isn't very well done. Usually, I love a good mafia story, but for this one, I just don't give a damn. Like, just give me the romance, that's all I want.
But the biggest minus for me is the fact that Ze Rui killed someone. Like, I feel the drama just made killing people not a big deal in a way. Like, everyone ends up with happy ending. I feel this isn't very morally right.
That said, of course I am happy with the happy ending of all couples. Overall, I really do enjoy it, and also the CP are all quite cute and hot too! It's also a sweet surprise to see Hank & Aaron! Also, An Jun Peng is so handsome here, love how his character here too
I'd say, just watch it, the romance is all worth it. Intimate scenes are well done too!

Fluffy and deep at same time!
I don't get the title name but I like it.Except for 1st episode that's a little slow, once the story picks up, its really good.
I love how it shows us truly, that love is love, transcending age and gender.
It's really cute how they play "pretend game". It depicts real life challenges people face, so its pretty realistic show.
Love how it also teaches us about happiness and life lessons generally
It's lighthearted yet bring deep meaning all at same time
It made me very happy watching them. I learnt a lot from both characters.

Slowest Burn BL ever!
Gist, I am not a fan of slow burn BL, but I ended up enjoying this one somehow. lol. I don't really enjoy the 2nd part as much though, but I like this first partInitially, I find it really slow and a bit boring. But once I'm used to the pacing, especially the silence,, it actually feels soothing
It's a nice change of pace for someone like me, who constantly are catching up having to read lines after lines of subtitle in order to not miss a moment, and even having to rewatch to ensure i read it correctly sometimes
Somehow the slowness is nice. I get to read the subtitle, observe their experience, and take a moment to actually let the moment sink in, digest the experience, and actually feel it together with the couple
I feel almost like I am inside the drama. It is really good at taking you in a journey in that way
For this reason, I really enjoy this one and the ending is good too, but it keeps you hanging too much, that you'll wanna watch the 2nd part, which burns even more. LOL
Overall, I won't rewatch this again, my heart can only take that much slowburn, but I don't regret watching either

The show should be called "Guess the killer game"!
I've watched Memorist and Pyschometric, so I thought..how different could this be right?Well, apparently it is quite different, especially the way the psychometric is being done...lol
Now, I get why the title suggest "BEHIND" your touch!
I didn't know who the ML and FL are, so I'm not sure at first , but I ended up loving both ML!
I love how thrilling yet comedic this is, making it not too heavy to watch. I laughed a lot too.
It's also so exciting that it got you round and round guessing wtf is the killer. I thought I guessed it right, but apparently not.
It'd have been a 10, if it's not bcoz of some details like
- I feel there is some part that is draggy. I don't think we need too much scenes explaining what happened in Mujin back then. An appropriate flashes would do the job, really. This causes me to skip some parts
-I am q disappointed how stubbornly foolish the ML is by being obsessed about the suspect. If only he had loosen his grip, he'd have literally guessed the killer who is RIGHT in front of him, if he had not been obssessed about the other guy
-I am also q frustrated by how naive the FL can be lol...she basically is a little bit bimbo which is what i hate about the typical portrayal of Kdrama FL. Where you get pure and innocent FL, which I support, but it doesnt mean it has to be a dumb one. Like, we can have FL who is pure cute, inncocent and smart, isn't it?
Despite these minor flaws, I'd still say the show is really good and worth the watch.

It break your heart into pieces only to put it all back together!
I cried so much in last 10 mins, it's such a beautiful ending. It's the best ending I've seen in BL- the way it's all wrapped up, tied together. Its so neat and beautifulI got fed up at Akira at some point, but I'm glad it call came around well. It's just so inspiring, touching and beaautiful
I admire Yuki's spirit. He's really brave, honest and true to his heart. He reminds us to LIVE life fully and freely.
What an inspiring show! I'm glad I found this show.
While the ending is perfect, I wouldn't mind watching a part 2 where they just show the happy story of how they get married, etc etc. It'd be just so lovely to watch

It's enough to fill your BL cup up, but it's not a must-watch!
It's simple, almost mundane, but it's nice. It feels like I'm watching a vlog of 3 housemates. It is quite realistic, just showing daily life of 3 men, nothing over the top.It gets a little boring at some part as it's slowpaced. Otherwise, it's actually enjoyable, especially if you focus on the friendship/relationship among the men.
I also love the ending. Lets say, this drama isn't awful, it deserves higher rating than what it's given, but its also the kind where, its okay to miss it.
I watch this mainly bcoz I run out of BLs to watch. lol, but it does its job of filling my BL cup. So, I'm happy overall :)

Cute, sexy and fluffy!!
"Why is it getting harder and harder?" Oh mo, ROFL! Its so funny!The way Choi Jun flirted with Lee Jun the entire show got me crazy! How he look at his eyes is sooo charming.
I wish their bed scene is longer! The kissing scenes are hot af and it stops there, what a bummer!
I really love the chemistry of the couple and the visuals are crazy, esp Choi Jun! I can watch him whole day long.
It's a simple feel good BL for days you just wanna giggle and smile and laugh.
If you're looking for sth fancy, dramatic or one with plot twists, then stay away from this drama.
If you're looking for lighthearted, easy to watch, fluff BL, jump on!
I wish to see the CP again!

It's more than meet the eye!
On surface, it looked like some goofy action comedy happening. But, there's an ACTUAL storyline ongoing and the ending is SO touching and so good! I really love the bromance going onIt's also really funny, I remembered laughing within first 5 mins or so, and many times I burst out laughing
Yet, many times, I also found myself being touched.
It's also refreshing to have a gay/straight bromance, without having to make it into romance.
I love how everything is cleared up at the end, what a beautiful ending!
