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!

Could be better with a strong FL
I came here for Taec Yeon and he didn't disappoint as usual, but the storyline, especially the FL is disappointing.It started out really funny and then it just went downhill.
I really am so disappointed with the ending. I didn't watch 16 episodes for this. Story gets messy and draggy in middle, so I've to skip episodes.
What pissed me most is the weak FL. She is a typical "I have a poor life, save me, victim mentality" where she needs constant saving, and even sacrifice from ML. I don't think this storyline is "romantic" at this day and age.
If its not for Taec Yeon, I'd have dropped the show long ago, but on hindsight, I probably sjould just have dropped it and saved myself from the disappointment

Badass FL + Stunning ML = Satisfying Ending!
This is a BIMBIMBAP of a show. It's a mixed genre, mixed eras, mixed concepts of everything, LOL. Just name it, it's there,! But it's exactly why it backfires, a little.It really hurts me to minus 0.5 out of 10 from this show, but I really can't stand the Yatchas! If I need that many zombie scenes, I'd be watching walking dead, I am here for the FOXES! I ended up skipping all the zombie scenes, despite Lee Rang being in it!
Other than that, all is good! I love the plot twists and the happy surprises. My favorite? Lee Rang's sweet romance! Our baby fox is now dating! Also, love how he awakened fully as gumiho towards the end!
Needless to say, I love Lee Yeon + Lee Rang's brotherhood. It makes me cry each time, their acting is SO GOOD!
It's a rare show where I actually love all of the characters (beside the evil ones, lol)...
I love our Jindo!! He's my new favorite, and of course, all the FLs are badass!
Finally, a show where the FLs do not need to be saved!
We've a mix of woman empowerment of FLs + eyecandy of handsome MLs, what else can we ask for?

Role Swap? Yes and yes!
I laughed throughout the entire show, like really out loud. It's SO funny...the humour isn't cringy or goofy, its just really funny.I love the idea of role swap (instead of body switch). It adds freshness into the storyline and character.
They are one of my favorite couples in the "Our Sky" series. Honestly, I didn't finish watching "boss and babe" as I got fed up by the storyline in the last 2 or 3 episodes.
But, as a couple, I really love them, it's just a more realistic healthier depiction of couple. They try to understand each other, and learn from one another. Although Cher is younger, he is constantly inspiring and teaching P'Gun and vice versa. This makes it so different than the typical school BL romance which is often just childish with no depth lol...
One last important point, did I mention that P'Gun is just so handsome? lol

Simply MAGICAL!
Super creative plot, I've not seen anything quite like this.I LOVE every part of this drama. It got me hooked right on episode 1!
It's really funny, entertaining and meaningful at same time.
I love how creative the plot is, definitely a gem within the fantasy genre in K-drama. I love how it's not scary too.
I love fantasy but sometimes couldn't stomach the horror portion. I am glad this show is filled with plenty of fantasy yet not scary.
Oh, needless to say, the ML nailed it totally!

It could have been 10/10....
Even then.... ITS WORTH WATCHING FOR SOLO AND GUI!I love their dynamics. It isn't a very typical "top vs bottom" scenario you see in school BL. They both take initiatives to take care of each other, not just one being the "female who needs help or being spoiled"
It's quite evenly spread out between them two, hence I find it really healthy relationship for them, with no toxicity.
Yet, it isn't shallow. They face real life issues that go beyond the typical "homophoic parents story". I wouldn't say much to avoid spoiler, but there are scenes that really are healing and touching, especially one where they are in farm with kids.
A well balanced storyline that has good mixture of school vs work, fantasy vs reality, yet really sweet and cute couple at same time!
Do I even need to mention how cute Solo is?! lol
I'd rated the show 10/10 if this show is only about them! But since, I pretty much skipped the rest of the story (as I find the rest of couples less interesting to follow), I am rating this 8/8.

Best Duo!!!
I mean, what can go wrong when you put Rain and Kim bum together, Lol.. Boy, both their acting are spectacular!!!I love the story too, it's a refreshing plot. It's funny yet meaningful and deep at the same time. It's new twist to medical drama which sometimes can get too heavy and all. It's also very exciting, especially each time they go to surgery room, it gets my heart beating fast!
I also love the dynamics and combination between the two doctors, how they eventually learn and grow from one another.
It's a definite must-watch!!

Amazing Acting!
I'm surprised by the quality of acting, given that the actors are relatively young. I can feel the emotions that the main lead are feeling, which is amazing, especially since a lot of BL tend to cast new actors where sometimes the acting can be cringey.Its a slow burn and there are times I was so frustrated by the male lead, but as it progresses, it gets really good.
What keeps me going is the acting, really. And boy, it gets really sweet and cute eventually.
I'm glad I give this a chance!

Feel good drama!
I almost MISSED out this gem because of this low rating it gets here, when it turns out to be ONE OF MY FAV NOW!I've learnt to follow my heart and forget about rating. It depends on what ya looking for in a drama.
If you looking for feel good drama to relax, enjoy and warm your heart, this is for you. Is storyline super special? No. But, that doesn't make this drama less ordinary!
I've seen toxic drama with higher rating than this! This drama might be simple but it is also its purity and innocence that made it so cute to watch!
Sometimes, a simple, cute, relaxing drama that makes you smile from ear to ear, laugh from your belly and warm your heart is what we need. This is exactly what this drama makes me feel and I hope you would enjoy the sunshine and sweetness this drama has for you too :)

It's beautiful but depressing af
It's like the heaviest and most depressing BL ever. It's not even romantic, just depressing lol...I guess some would call it artistic, which it actually isDon't get me wrong, the show could have been great. I especially love the last episode, it's beautiful. I mean there are lessons learnt, etc but the way the show is being delivered is really really really hard to watch
I was enjoying for 1st half until I felt the story gets repetitive and eventually draggy. It also gets really really really depressing that i've to skip most of it, just to know the ending because I am curious
I wouldn't say the show is bad per se, but it isn't my style. Unfortunately, I feel heavy after watching this show, which kinda leads me with a lingering bad after taste, if u may.
I mean I am someone who could watch thriller show, but still, this is even darker than murder show, because its just so heavy emotionally, like it just keep going down the rabbithole. I don't enjoy it although logically I think the ending is very beautifully done. If it's of any comfort, the reaper is hot af haha

If you like the couple, watch it
Don't listen to others' reviews, good or bad. Why? Coz, everyone is different. What you like is different than what I likeI also realized a trend in MDL where people tend to spend time hating dramas and all. It's puzzling why someone keep on watching something that they hate? Like, you know you can drop it right? Anyway..they can say all they want, but don't let what they say, take away the joy that you could have from watching what you want!
I'm glad I came back to watch S2 despite the hate towards this show. I was under the impression this went real dark, but it's far from the truth!
In fact, I like it better than S1!! It's so fluffy, sweet, endearing and there's definitely progress in both couples.
I love the ending for everyone here.
The OST Is so good that I actually stayed on without skipping the intro. Also, the kawaii dance that goes along, esp on last episode
I mean..this show, it warms my heart, make me cry, yet make me laugh, all at same time
Mostly, it really shows the purity of love once again, which is often forgotten in today's drama filled with toxicity
Just because this drama doesnt have complicated 3rd party story, or NDC or anything extreme like that, it doesn't make this drama has less of a story plot!
It just depends on how dramatic you want a plot to be
If you love the couple, and love how they flirt, bicker and play around, then stay on for S2, and hopefully...S3 or a bonus episode!

10/10 for the couple!
Oh my god, Tongrak Mahasamut is my new favorite couple now! Their chemistry is so chemistry-ing, I love them from the moment they meet! I really love the island episodes until they change to BKK.What I don't like:
- The family drama is unnecessarily dramatic. It feels like watching Lakorn when I'm here for the BOYS LOVE part, literally
- Side GL storyline is quite frustrating to watch as it's wishy washy
- I mainly skipped those parts above
What I like
-Couple chemistry, island setting, and ending
I love how they make a reference of meaning of number 0f 8 towards the end. Boy, I didn't expect it to get emotional but it's so beautifully touching towards the end.
While it's dramatic, but at least the situation is resolved. I like how Tongrak actually sees how he has been deceived by his father and he reunited with his mother- putting a solution to the messy family dynamic. This is important, otherwise we just end up with dramatic show for sake of drama.
While the couple story doesn't start as what most would call "healthy", it definitely ends up healthy which is again, important point. In fact, Rak story is very relatable and common IRL- people who shut down their heart but Mame did beautiful job in breaking down why and putting a solution to it. Very well done in wrapping up all these- probably one of her best story- I can see the storyline matures too
What I super like
The super touching and beautiful last episode as well as all our NC scenes!
Our boys KNOW how to kiss and eat each other up. One of the best NC in BLs- one that's hot yet you can feel the love- I love it. It's not a trashy kind of NC, it's just 2 men truly loving and going crazy over each other
I'm gonna miss the couple already!!!

Feeling disconnected towards the end
I love the storyline. It's unique and refreshing. I really enjoy it until last episode.I've no issue with the age gap, that isn't the problem. It's not so much about the story than the execution.
For past 5 episodes, my mind has these 2 actors as main lead. That's who I've watched, who I adore and who I've been waiting to watch, and suddenly....in last episode, we have totally different actor as Songjam?!
I get they are the same person but I feel NOTHING...because, I feel so diasappointed not able to see the kiss scenes between the younger Songjam and Aksorn, one we've been waiting for since the dance in episode 1. Although they do it with the older Songjam, it doesn't feel the same. HUGE EMOTIONAL DISCONNECT.
I dunno why they make the story so complicated. It could have been such a beautiful ending. Ugh.

SO Sultry-ly good!
It gets more exciting after each episode- making me finish this in one day! I love the concept that the 4 minutes are based on. It's very interesting and meaningful at same time.What I'm impressed is how well executed this is. I was initially worried that I may get confused because of the storyline but it actually is very clear. There are lots of details being shown that helps you connect the dots very easily as long as you follow through each episode closely. It's seriously really good.
The plot twist are amazing! The acting are also very good- not cringey at all. I especially love Jes and Bible here. I also love Korn and Tonkla, despite the ending
NCs are SOOO goood- Be On Cloud really knows what it's doing! Now, what I like is how the NCs are a bonus and not the selling point. We've seen lots of BL that just gave you NC with crap story, this is NOT one of those
This is seriously so high quality on all levels. 8 episodes are perfect, anything more would be draggy, althou I'll totally take a special episode to watch more Jes and Bible!

Better than I thought
I hesitated to watch since it's a high school drama- I thought we're over the school BL era? LOL...But, I gave it a try since it'll be one of the 1st sports BL that I watch and boy, did I love it so much!I finished watching in 2 days, it's refreshing since it's just something new in BL scene- sports drama- i love the sportsmanship, the team value, the spirit they have. I especially love how they raise money for the team which is so inspiring to watch. Of course, I love RyuZen-totally shipping them from episode 1
It's a narak narak kind of BL- no NC or real kisses, just cute puppy love which is fitting for a high school setting.
Everything is great except this part that I can't overlook. The street basketball drama that Ryu got entangled into was overly done. I mean, how can 2 high school students witnessed 5-6 people being killed, and they just moved on with their life next day happily playing basketball, like nothing has happened. This is not only not realistic, it might have send a mixed message or signal to the audience. Murder isn't something that is to be overlooked like that, even if it's self-defense in this case. It's a bit contradicting on how they're keeping the show innocent with the amount of non-existence NC, and yet they've this violence part that's sending totally different message
Beside this part, I really enjoy the drama as a whole- like it's just lighthearted, fun, and exciting to watch. I love the chemistry of RyuZen. And boy- Ryu is gonna grow up as one fine hot man for sure!
