I wonder what everyone loved that I missed?

Things that stay in my mind: Shao Fei's exaggerated facial expressions, Tang Yi's meaningless blank stares, bad environmental shots and absurd plot, cute workplace friends and fatherly chairman who are very enjoyable to watch.

When Tang Yi gives a little face, Shao Fei, who falls in love without waiting or thinking, immediately accepts it without doubting or wondering if I am gay. Because if your same sex is close to you, your first thought is to be gay. Because there is no such thing as intimacy, friendship ?

Our second couple was very nice, but it was cut very short. I loved both characters ? I wish they had reduced the scenes of the first couple and increased the scenes of this couple

In general, it is a series that I did not like, I did not feel much passion, I could not connect with the characters. Of course, it's still going, whoever likes it will like it again. If it got such a high vote, I respect it to the end. I wonder what everyone loved that I missed?

Rational and Irrational Decisions. Character Development and Missing Information

This show gave me a strange feeling. It started out cute and sweet. Towards the middle, we started to see the cruelty of the real world.
A typical emotional, intense Japanese style drama.
Of course I liked the ending, but my instincts kept screaming that this couldn't happen in real life.

As logical as Itou's desire to leave Nishi and establish a normal life, it was just as illogical for him to defy his family and be forgiven.
When I looked at Nishi's character, no matter how emotional he was, he was generally a positive and full of life. Someone who can live his pain to the end and recover himself after a while. It's hard to believe that he hasn't gotten over Itou for years.

Of course, since the series was very short, we needed more information about Nishi's character. If they are predisposed to a dependent personality and haven't overcome it because of that, I understand, but they needed to show me that.

If this had been a longer series, something tells me I wouldn't have liked Itou. He seems like he could be someone who gets repulsive the more you get to know him.

He was cute and sweet again. I'm happy I watched it.

Quality Production, but Character Choices are Disturbing

This series is about a very real couple regardless of the plot, but I never liked these characters. The series is of good quality. The shots, lights, sounds are very good.
Most of the acting is very good. However, I do not like loser characters. Cold, introverted, but loser and cowardly characters do not appeal to me. I had a hard time watching it. I fast-forwarded the bullying scenes because it was annoying.

Hira is a character who got stuck in his first toxic relationship and couldn't get over it. He preferred a healthy and self-healing person like Koyama to his old toxic relationship.
As another reviewer said, "Hira doesn't deserve a Koyama."


I liked the finale and the final scenes, but I'm still not convinced of Kiyoi's love.


Hira is invisible and ignored and falls in love with the first bright sun he sees. Because it has what he lacks the most. Kiyoi is trying to become famous to satisfy his hunger for love and prove himself, and of course he doesn't want to lose the person who adores him.


In the second season, I don't know how they will resolve the plot, but in a real-world continuation of such a character relationship, it might unfold like this:
After the honeymoon phase, Kiyoi would continue to belittle and oppress Hira.
He would ignore him and prioritize his career. For a considerable period, Hira would strive to please and satisfy Kiyoi.
At some point, Kiyoi would grow tired of Hira, betray him, and Hira, enduring prolonged suffering, would start to undergo personal growth.
Once he finally breaks free from Kiyoi, the narcissistic cycle would restart as Kiyoi returns, and the toxic relationship persists until Hira experiences genuine self-awareness.
Every now and then, Hira regrets not choosing Koyama, who used to be a genuinely loving and mentally stable guy.


Expecting a healthy relationship from a high school romance is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The majority of clichés were handled well. I felt the gradual, convincing formation of their love.

There are cute moments in this BL series like in many others, but they are not as annoying, prolonged, and exaggerated as in most. The cute scenes are well-placed and realistically executed, which pleased me a lot.

Bu Xia is incredibly adorable, and I find myself warming up to him more and more. As the series progresses, we understand why Jiang Chi fell in love in a very beautiful way, which is quite rare. Usually, you don't understand the process of falling in love. If I can say, "I would fall in love too" when I put myself in Jiang Chi's shoes, then the series is good.

Everything was great, but I found the school gossip and people's senseless curiosity to be absurd. I think it disrupts the realism of the story. Also, unless it is seriously exaggerated, I believe people wouldn't easily label two close male friends as gay. For me, this was the first absurdity in the series.

I liked his sister and the supernatural event very much, but it could have been more detailed. The solution of the supernatural event turned out to be a bit ridiculous and (for me) sad.

The passion between the couple was good, but in the kissing scenes, I felt an energy from Jiang Chi as if he didn't want to kiss. It seemed like he was forcing himself to be comfortable. Because of the lack of passion in the kissing scenes, the series couldn't become my favorite. I'm sorry, but to love and rewatch a BL series, I need to feel that chemistry between them.

FL's Change and Classicisation

This story started off really great. FL was a great character. She was confident, cool and unique with a mysterious side. It made perfect sense for ML to fall in love with her. But then FL started to turn into a classic, typical, unoriginal romantic drama woman. At this point, all the burden fell on ML and the more caring and loving ML was, the more watchable the series became.
In fact, in one scene towards the end, the chemistry between ML and the second FL felt more attractive and believable.

Overall a good series, not much to say. I watched all the episodes, which is difficult for me. I was only upset that the original and different female character turned into a clichéd female character. After all, we suffer a lot from the lack of original and different female characters in romantic series.

Of course, there are a lot of cliché scenes. We are used to them now and we don't find them strange.

Exciting Start, Long Solutions and Examination of Fantastic Elements

It actually started well. The light mystery and horror theme and the fact that it didn't get cute too quickly was good. However, I still couldn't avoid getting bored. The solution of the mysteries was slow and long. There were some nonsense (ex-lover, weird real estate agent and alien boy) I can't say much about this nonsense because I mostly fast-forwarded.
The chemistry of the couple was good, I expected more kissing and physical intimacy. I didn't understand why we watched their first kiss from a distance.
I understand that the ghost thing is difficult, but it is also a subject where many different things can be tried in a fantastic way. I don't understand why ghost stories are always the same things.

The clichés of ghost love dramas:
The ghost is attractive and has amnesia.
Together with the human person, they search for the ghost's past.
They always find a painful past.

For example, I think the dream thing was a good topic and could have been used much more efficiently.

I feel like writing a short ghost story.

▪ The handsome ghost of the house falls in love with the cute boy of the house and enters his dreams, where they flirt.
▪ The cute boy falls in love with the ghost. (The ghost is already in love with him.)
▪ The cute boy wants to see the ghost and ventures into the dark waters of the mystical world.
▪ Of course, there is a price for this. He opens his third eye and sees other things along with the ghost.
▪ The ghost wants to materialize and makes a deal with a shaman.
▪ As he destroys spirits that should not exist in the world, he obtains an item that allows him to materialize for a certain period.
▪ Luckily, the cute boy can now see all spiritual beings and is a human.
▪ The ghost and the human, in order to be together (and, of course, to make love), embark on a hunt in the dark world.
▪ Normally, there are many ghosts doing this job, but none do it with a human, and our ghost quickly becomes famous.
...
These are the things that come to my mind for now.

I think they shouldn't hesitate to add fantasy elements. Adding fantasy elements doesn't necessarily mean using special effects.

Other than that, it's not very memorable for me, but it's better than most ghost stories. The female character, Dream, was good. It was well developed. I liked her.

Disappointment and Back Steps in Character Development

I wanted to like this series, considering that the cinematography, angles, sounds, and overall many technical aspects, as well as the acting, were good.
It started confusingly. However, as the story continued to progress quickly, I thought I would witness an interesting character development story.

Kuea should have learned not to embrace and hide her true self from her excessively seeking approval and dependent personality.
Lian, on the other hand, should have realized that he needed to be more relaxed and that love was actually what he needed most.

But what happened? Kuea was making progress, but when Lian showed interest in her, her progress stopped and she continued with the same personality. Clingy, boring, approval-seeking.
Lian suddenly metamorphoses into a personality that she is not and says that she loves Kuea, bla bla bla and then returns to that controlling personality again.
I liked Lian's acting, but her character is particularly badly written. Obviously the author doesn't know how to develop such a character because he doesn't know such a character.

The side pair Yi and the khondion started well, but then it became very empty, didn't move forward, didn't progress and in the end didn't give any feeling at all.
The third side pair was definitely better. I felt something and I liked it.


There seems to be more of a father problem in the story than a love relationship.
Lian and Yi are responsible fathers who take care of their children, control them, try to make them conform to the rules and do not care about their personalities, are callous and unloving.
Kuea and khondion, on the other hand, are approval-seeking, resentful sons who are afraid of their fathers, do things they secretly like, are rebellious and lie to keep their fathers from getting angry.
It's funny because
Yi and khondion live together, but they've never even been close.
Lian and Kuea are engaged, but they've never been close.
I thought we came to watch BL.


Anyway, the series was still fluent despite everything. There were not as many filler scenes as I expected. I watched until the 8th episode without interruption (each episode is 1 hour), which means really successful for me.

The character development could have made this series unforgettable. I'm crying.,,,,

Unsatisfactory Aspects: Lack of Fluency, Character Connection, and Passion"

It's hard to say what didn't satisfy me. In general, there seemed to be a problem with fluency. I couldn't connect with the characters. The dialogues were really good, but it seemed as if the dialogues should have felt more passionate, but they couldn't.

Nozue's acting was not as good as Togawa. In fact, I could only feel Togawa's emotions, but even that was not enough.

In the last two episodes, the story accelerated and Nozue made a decision too quickly. Knowing that he was someone who had such a hard time getting out of his comfort zone, what he did didn't seem convincing to me. (Especially going from not even being able to pat someone on the head to suddenly chasing after them and dropping big words – that was seriously inconsistent.)

And it's like they don't really drink the drinks. Are they just pretending to drink or is it just me?

As a result, it could have been much more impressive, but it was not. I know that the reasons for the high score are that it is a Japanese series, it has an emotional atmosphere, the shots are good (I didn't like the exploding window lights) and it gives off that high-quality production vibe, but still, I gotta admit, it didn't do it for me.

Sweet Moments and Sneaky Glances

It was really sweet. I experienced intense emotions at times. I recalled the feelings I had when I first fell in love. The series is very good in terms of atmosphere and storytelling. I guess I'm getting used to watching mini-series more and more. If the episodes were longer, emotional scenes would be more extended, and there would be more events and that would be a good thing.


One of my favorite things in any romantic series is the SIDE GLANCES. It made my heart flutter. I love freezing those scenes and watching them over and over again, and I absolutely enjoy jumping in my seat.
(If you ask me, it was precisely these glances that made the series 'We Best Love: No. 1 For You' so popular.)


What slightly bothered me was Seo Jae being excessively handsome. It may not seem like a problem, but it is. When someone is too beautiful, it feels like their position and power in the relationship increase, and consequently, they should be the one who loves more. There's a sense of responsibility loaded onto them because of their beauty, creating an illusion that they can have everything in life. This, in turn, leads to wanting more responsibility placed on them since they are so beautiful, hence more powerful, as if they should bear the burden.

While watching, my focus would occasionally shift to his beauty, and it somewhat disconnected me from the story. That's why I prefer actors with average looks, where charisma comes entirely from their character. Being taken out of the story by someone's appearance annoys me (she said and hearted Lim Ji Sub).


I thought Seo Jae was acting like he learned something in the military because I assumed he realized he was gay there, and I believe that would have been more fitting for the story. After all, he always took the first steps.

Continuing to be friends with a selfish, opportunistic, ready-to-betray-you, jealous, and passive-aggressive character like Jang Young!? That's something I would never do in real life. My baby Seo Jae also believes that this person ain't wearing a mask. ?

Kongpob's Evolution and Arthit's Emotional Development

For me, the series started well. I had no expectations for the series, good or bad. I liked the Kongpob character very much right away. I watched the general story with love and pleasure. But after a while, the progress in the relationship of our main couple decreased so much that it started to make me feel like I was watching a youth drama instead of BL (at this point I started to be unhappy). After all, I came here to watch BL. If the system, school events, etc. are not too disturbing, I usually don't care. I look at the realism and passion of the love presented.

In the first episodes, Kongpob's rebelliousness and small-scale flirtatiousness and secret anger was what excited me, but this gradually started to diminish. He started to become more of a normal, good student. I wanted it to get deeper. We should have seen more details about the character.

Arthit's suppression of emotions in the first chapters and his hiding that he was affected by Kongpob amused me, but after a while this progress stopped, as if there was no increase in his feelings.

Imagine that you are in control and everyone is afraid of you.
A first-year university student challenges your authority: REBELLIOUS. The favorite of the whole school, everyone who knows him/her loves him/her a lot: POPULAR. Probably the teachers will like him/her very much: STATUS. You insulted him/her, and now he/she is using that insult against you and flirting with you: ATTRACTIVE. Has excellent grades, hardworking: INTELLIGENT... This list can go on and on.

When you have such a person in front of you and this person respects you, you fall in love very seriously with jealousy, anger and feelings of total possession that accumulate inside you. This is where Arthit was supposed to take on an obsessive character and desperately crave Kongpob, but it didn't happen. In short, it was supposed to be Arthit, not Kongpob.

So how to say, the story is very suitable for being much more passionate and intense. But overall a good story especially the first half but the series is not memorable for me.

Poor First Couple Compatibility vs. The Perfect Chemistry of the Second Couple

A typical Tay BL drama with bad voices again. Someone told a scene on TikTok, I started watching it to see that scene.
Rain is a very sweet and lovable friend on his own, but the harmony between him and Payu was insufficient. Acting can be called good, but there is a problem with the characters written. My least favourite thing in a series is to ask the question "what did this person fall in love with?".

But our second couple was very good. It starts from the last scene of episode 7 and it just flows. Sky is my baby, I like her a lot. Even though the slight changes in her character towards the last episodes bothered me, it doesn't matter. There are no words to say about Pai's persistence and love, the whole story is about his effort not to let go of love. I may have watched episodes 8-13 a few times. ? the chemistry of our couple was very good (a new independent series of this duo will also be released, I am waiting with love)
I don't know if it will be like a fan girl, but it's as if they have characters like the roles they play in real life. Regardless of the subject, it seems like every film with actors playing roles similar to their real characters is heard.

Extremely warm, charming and high quality but...

In general, it can be called very good. Cinematography, acting, friendship, sound are very good in every way. The reason was this, for me it was a point where the glass overflowed, especially what I hate to see in BL dramas. Aoki is a man and all his life he knows himself as a hetoro called normal (especially in a place like Japan) Then there is a misunderstanding between him and Ida, exciting, everything is good. After a series of events, she acknowledges that she is in love with Aoki Ida. WHAT? Was it that easy and simple? He doubts himself a little and accepts it immediately. HOW? Is it that easy to realise you're gay if you haven't realised it since you were a child?

Anyway, it saddens me when I don't see that emotional depression and denial followed by painful acceptance in a Bl.
(The same problem seemed to be relatively present in Cherry Magic!, but there, too, Kurosawa's interest and love was so sweet that it could make anyone who is straight gay. ?)
(A good example I can give is Chu Sang Woo in Semantic Error. His suspicion, his escape, his inability to accept was very realistic)

Emotional Depth and Beyond Expectations

It was very hot, enjoyable, and (especially in the first half) rich in passion. The BL series exceeded my expectations. The quality of Japanese BL series in recent times surprises me. I highly recommend it. It was emotional, but the pace was not slow. It had a very appropriate flow.

The lack of focus on the fantasy part was odd. I loved how Adachi's emotions and thoughts were portrayed so beautifully, realistically, and logically. At one point I could only watch Adachi; he could carry the story alone.

In fact, at the end of the series, it seemed like Adachi was with Kurosawa to spare himself from the sorrow of not being loved. After all, his exploration of his gay identity happened entirely because of Kurosawa's intense love for him. I wonder if Kurosawa were a woman, would Adachi have agreed? Probably yes :D. Again, Kurosawa won, and that didn't come as a surprise :)

I didn't like the storytelling of our second couple. It started with great potential but turned out to be empty and developed too quickly. There was no chemistry between them and our author's behaviour was too exaggerated for his age. While the writer's tough and mature side was excellent, falling in love in two days and the absurdities in their actions were very nonsensical. I couldn't feel the love.

Lastly, Adachi's decrease in confidence in the second half saddened me. Adachi should have been cool, silent, and aloof because Kurosawa was outgoing, talkative, and social. They were a beautiful contrast to each other. However, when Adachi became insecure towards the end, it made me wonder why the boy was so fixated on him.
And in my opinion, the reason they presented was insufficient for falling in love with someone lacking self-confidence. If Adachi were confident but cold, distant, and introverted, then the given reason would have been sufficient.

And please, I'll cry, but we NEVER GOT A SINGLE KISS. Well, even if we did, it probably would have been just a touch of lips, but I would have been okay with that, knowingly. ??
