I wanted to take my time and watch this as slow as I possibly could because know I'm going to love it and probably will feel empty after i finish it, and since it's very hard to find good BL my expectations were sky high!!! Of course I ended up finishing it in a couple of sittings, probably that's how much I lack self-restrain, I couldn't stop myself ~
Short review: this did not disappoint!!!
Long review : Buckle up!!!!

First, as a BL, this is perfection in 14 EPs! The actors did serve!!! Chemistry was insane for both couples! Of course the cherry on top was the short appearances for all our lovely actors from other Taiwanese BLs, I believe at this point I expect to see Aaron, Wang and Wayne, also now Jun Peng is newly and welcomely added into the expected guests in new BLs.
So you enjoy the show, gain new favourites and you also get to have a look at your beloved BL couples, smart move!! 👏👏👏

Now the elephant in the room AKA the questionable and weak part of the story or as I wanna call it, the "eh!!!" Moments of the drama. The large part of the story is about the two families and their work and how corrupted they are and they are the bad guys and bla bla bla! And we have no idea why or how scary they are? It's not even explicitly mentioned that they are mafia or what? Believe me mafia wouldn't be that weak and stupid lol Like the Chens are a gang and the have a boss, do we even know what they do? And the Fans are just a rich family!? Like a scary rich family and that's it?? What they do, we don't know!!

Now I'm sure I didn't skip/miss anything and it could be it's lost in translation but my mind didn't have a firm grip about the two families and what they do or what is going on in the whole thing! ~~

BUT!!!!!!! But!!! It's not important!! We don't care!!! Because that's the shell of the side story!!! I mean if you ask me to cut some scenes and add another to explain the whole families thing I'd tell you, no sir!! Just leave it as it is!! It's perfect!!! I wouldn't change a thing! ~~

My final opinion is it was amazing!! I loved every single minute of it, first part of the drama was for the lead couple and the second part is definitely for the second couple!!! Both shined in their own way and captured our hearts, minds and souls!! Definitely gonna rewatch it again, a f highly, highly recommended!!!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️

That was bad, I mean the first part was all over the place, there is a faint amount of info about the FL, she just kicks some ass and that's it ~~
The camera movements in some action scenes were annoying and disturbing, nevertheless the cinematography was top notch, probably the only good thing about it ~~
I kinda expected more because I like this genre but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it ~

My goodness, can I kiss you!! I remember correctly, right???
But then, I have this flash backs when I try to remember the drama that he had a problem despite being a genius also I found "prosopagnosia" in the tags there but it could be my mind playing games on me ~ 🤷🤷🤷🤷

"I can't reach you" well of course honey you can't, with all these interruptions and distractions, I'm even surprised you even got together. It's like heaven and earth went hand in hand to stop those two from having any type of intimate moments or even normal ones lol ~~

First I have to say this gives a huge "old school Japanese BL" vibes, where your heart goes "Kyun" whenever the leads even look at each other lovingly, so this definitely for old school watcher or the younger audience who appreciates the light fluffy shy romance, aside from that, you definitely gonna get pissed off ~~

But despite having my "Kyun" moments I also had my "bloody hell" moments too, the interruptions were a tad too many here, I was watching while thinking "ok something is gonna happen now" ... *Thunder strikes* ... "See, I knew it" It gave me trauma, I believe they were cursed or something but I'm glad it ended well ~~

Yui was a king lol he had a very VERY huge and annoying bad timing problems and I give him credit for almost 80% of the interventions between the leads the other 20% is the teacher lol but him and Mikoto are like the audience who want to nudge the leads a bit to get closer ~~

Generally, it's a good one, but be prepared for some "screen punching" moments ~~

Totally forgot that 19th life was released this year till I saw your comment lol ~~

My goodness!! That was .... Something.
I mean I can't say it was all bad, but I can't say it was good either. It was an odd mixture with some good scenes and some very bad ones.

The story is all over the place, but it's nothing new to Thai BL in general, still After watching 3 EP of Venus giving Sky a cold shoulder I felt like blowing his freaking shoulders like Ermac did to Jax and maybe throw them at the sun to warm up a bit!!!
Of course Instead I just rolled my eyes and skipped through all the "playing hard to get" part AKA the whole series.
I mean c'mon dude!! Sky spend - literally - 8 and half EP trying to hook up with Vee, poor lad.

Beside the mediocre acting and Tod heavenly good genes - can't believe the guy is over 30 YO- The drama was so so and has nothing to write home home about ~

She and Song Kang look like the "visually perfect" couple, they both loos so pretty.
Can't wait for this ~~

Loved it, it was so beautiful and healing, the beginning was perfect for me and I wished it goes on like that till the end but instead it got too dark pretty quickly, still there were times when I felt the warmth and comfort in this drama.
I also forgot how hilarious WooJin can be, he was the cherry on top 😂 I loved him the most in this drama and I also liked the relationship between the colleagues and how everyone helps and support eachother.
Highly recommended ❣️❣️

I agree with that YouTuber, because I did get distracted many times، still, I don't regret giving it a chance either ~~

I think we owe the debt of gratitude for the two leads, I believe if it wasn't for how good they are in portraying their characters many would have dropped it ~~

Sweet and short drama with lovely leads ❤️

I have seen my fair share and I believe we just view the matter differently.

There is a difference between slow and too stretched scene -and I'm talking scene by scene here as I said before "SOME scenes were too stretched"- and between the overall pace and how fast the story develops, historical dramas tend to develop slower than action ones but the main idea is not just in historical romance dramas, this applies to all dramas, and I'm talking now generally not just about this drama~~

It all depends on how you use your all drama time to represent your story perfectly, it's kinda tricky because if you didn't measure it correctly, you pass the fair line between slow and boring and lose audience interest~~

you also mentioned that the drama felt shorter, that leads to my main point, they showed less longer scenes than showing more of the story which we would much appreciate ~~

Honestly, I also felt episodes getting shorter as they goes by, but probably felt that because I fast forwarded a lot, I wanted to see more of them but what they showed me was less and more stretched scenes, combined with the very calm atmosphere that's personally not my all time favourite while binge-watching~~

It's like this could be a 10 but I've seen 10s and they didn't give me the same after taste, but I totally understand if it's a 10 for others, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that ~~

This movie was amazing, I loved everything about it, specially the end.
The two leads were brilliant! Specially the ML, I've never seen him in a drama/movie before he nailed his role and ofc. The beautiful chompoo was breathtakingly beautiful ~
Highly recommended ❤️

I was so excited to watch this, and it was completely different than what I expected, but different doesn't necessarily mean bad, I enjoyed it so much but for different reasons.
I believe it's totally different from other BLs because this is "Romantic BL" doesn't just focus on the story but the feelings in this are! wow just mind blowing!~~

Non and Bright were amazing!! Specially Bright since this is the first time I see him in a drama he was breathtakingly beautiful in portraying his character, I even liked him more than Non despite having a soft spot for the latter ~~

I don't wanna say anything negative because the drama deserves the courtesy of doing that, but I'd also be lying if I didn't say anything lol
the only thing that took me off guard in a negative way was the pace, it's not necessary a bad thing, just personally I found some scenes to be very VERY long, longer than they deserve and the atmosphere was so calm and quiet that I literally got distracted many times while watching, this could be just me but that annoyed me a bit, specially when I'm binge-watching ~~

Aside from that, it was great ~~

I know the name was lost in translation, the actual translation sounds like a Chinese drama, but at least it makes sense ~~

You have good taste 👏👏 lol
But seriously, Never mind them, if you don't like something, just don't like it, everyone is entitled to his own opinion ~~
I know some people on MDL take things too far as to force their opinions on others but if you happen to meet someone like that, just ignore them 😂🤷

I have no idea ~~
Maybe it's Just not my cup of tea 🤷

"Bake me please"? I wonder if they make a second season what would it be called?
"Caked and overbaked",
"Forgotten in the oven"?
"Hooked and overcooked"?
I'm not hating on it but Jeez!! Thai dramas names are really something!! ~~
Anyway I'm excited to see Guide in a BL, I'd give Ohm a chance for him NGL ~~

I didn't like it, it's about two boys meet and fall in love, and that's it.
I'm not saying it was bad, but nothing about it is impressive or remarkable, most of the time I was annoyed by Amane high pitched voice and slightly childish behaviour, I know he has a reason for being like that, nonetheless I still found it annoying ~~
Ryuji was a lovely character, aside from that, it's very forgettable drama ~~

Such a lovely drama, and hilarious in some episodes too, I love how they present and solve each renovation project.
I don't think the romance was needed here, and I really hated some of the side characters like Toranosuke and Kubodera even more than Arikawa lol
My favourite scene was when Mikoto and Gennosuke started talking in English 😂😂 it was so funny ~~
I think this drama deserves more recognition ~~
