AN ADAPTATION THAT SURPASSES IT'S PREDECESSOR!

I was hesitant to watch this adaptation of "ADDICTED:HEROINE" because I just knew that it will end the same thing just like it's original material. But boy oh boy I was so wrong!!! Everything I hoped for was met and maybe even more! As I was watching every single episode, it somehow took me back from "addicted" but it did even better. From the scenes, acting, settings, mood and from this great actors especially jiongmin and xubin, it's like watching a movie that was meant to be an hour.
In all social media, people are kept asking over and over again. Is it a BL or Bromance?? Honestly, it doesn't even matter. Given the fact that this two great actor had a chemistry from the beginning, that alone satisfy me in its simplest way. It made my heart fluff and jump, it made me crave for another episode, that in itself if a job-well-done from this actors.
But.....is it just me or some may think that it's a BL, Wubi fell first then Suyu. The possessiveness, overly protective brother it's just so heart warming. I wish i had a Wubi in my life! LOL!
The last episode was a roller coaster, it turned out the jealousy of one person made everything fall into pieces. I cried so hard when i saw Wubi soaking in blood, Suyu is desperately carrying him, doing anything in his power to bring his brother in that ambulance!
I swear to God!!!! If this series won't be getting any season 2.... I will fly to China and kick some writers or producers assess!!!! I've been seeing and hearing rumors that they renewed for another season. Please I know this is a dumb assumption but this things is possible in every series, PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL CAST!!!!!!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT CONFUSSED THE VIEWERS!!!! BRING BACK XUBIN AND JIONGMIN!!!! AND MY BABY MAOCHUNG! LOL

IN CONLUSION......THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST BROMANCE/ BL SERIES THAT CHINA HAD EVER PRODUCED ! I AM NOT SURPRISED ON THE RATING. I THINK IT DERSERVED 9.0 BUT STILL GREAT THAT PEOPLE LOVED IT.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES!
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON 2!!!
HAPPY VIEWING!!

PROMISING NEW BL COUPLE THAT NEEDS WORKSHOPS FOR ACTING; WEAK STORY AND ACTING

From the first episode I already knew that this series would suck, not because of the casting but mainly because of lack of acting experience and also the story line is so weak.
Pepper and Kong is obviously great together, I'm not gonna lie about their chemistry, at one point i had this feeling that they really are a couple (BF). The bed scenes made a concrete manifestation of their chemistry and it's the only thing that's interesting. Not being a pervert but romantic scenes is BL shows are also a crucial thing in determining the story line.
From the title itself 'Dinosaur Love", in all episodes Dino is showing how much he cares and love Rak and i like that they are true in the title of the series. We can all agree that the main problem on this series is the acting, setting and PLOT although I've said earlier that they area being true to the title but that's not enough to convince and engage people in all the characters.
I REALLY HOPE THAT PEPPER AND KONG WILL GROW IN ALL THE SERIES THAT THEY WILL BE IN AND LEARN THINGS FROM IT SO THEY CAN USE IT IN THEIR FUTURE SHOWS.
I REALLY LOVE THIS TWO COUPLE TOGETHER AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT IF THEY ARE BEING TRAINED WELL, THEY COULD BE THE ACTOR THAT THEY ARE MEANT.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD IN MANY PROJECTS FOR PEPPER AND KONG IN THE FUTURE!

YET ANOTHER FLUFFY TAIWANESE BL SERIES! A MUST SEE BL!

I've always been fascinated by Taiwanese BLs, the way they craft such good show and how they promote it is underrated. Taiwanese BLs is one of a few BLs that deserves a lot of recognition in terms of story, character dedication and castings.

STAY BY MY SIDE is one of those BLs that i can't describe well, it's like a fruit that isn't ripe but when you eat it, still taste great! This series is far from perfect but sure far from bad one.
Wei Zhe and Isaac portrayal of their characters are spot on! Even in Fan Service, you can see the dedication, still sweet and caring.
The gradual development of WeiZhe and Isaac's characters is well defined in every episode. Especially Isaac being so so caring of WeiZhe it's so cut and adorable.
The ending though is not that perfect but its "okey", I thing this series deserves SEASON 2 or "special episode", to see where they go from being boyfriends, finishing college to real life dramas.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS AND ALL UPCOMING VIDOL TV PRODUCED BLs. IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME!

A WELL WRITTEN STORY AND A HAPPY ENDING THAT WE ALL WANT!

The story of Adachi and Kurosawa in the series was enough to get all the viewers to want more and so this movie is the answer. And boy oh boy they didn't disappoint us! This movies has a well balance elements such as drama, comedy and subtle romance. They didn't concentrate on any sex scene, even a real kiss, they just made the angle of the camera so it would appear that they kissed but they didn't which I'm fine with it! They didn't kissed in the series and they made me believed in their story, they made me cry, laugh and made my heart flutter which is a very huge deal in acting. This only shows that you don't need a torrid kissing scene or a hot sex scene to make the viewer engaged to your story.

I just can't accept the fact that they still call each other by their family names which in Japanese culture is a big deal when you call someone by their first name. But then even after they lived together and got married they still didn't call each others by their first names. I still don't get it. Talk about names, both actors have cute and hot names, Yuichi and Kiyoshi.

This has to be my very first TOP JAPANESE BL SERIES AND MOVIE for the reason that their story tells a lot about the real world experiences of a man just finding out about his real identity and overcoming the obstacles of coming out. Adachi and Kurosawa shows that a lot in the series and movie.

I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH.....WATCH WATCH WATCH THE SERIES BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE MOVIE. IT'S WORTH YOUR TIME AND I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WON'T STOP SMILING :)

PROMISING LEADING MAN (SKY); GOOD STORYLINE BUT NEEDS FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

This BL series is one of those series that has a starting story but end up stack in the middle. I would say that it has potential but not quite, I mean the main issue was only "rejection", it's not that big of an issue. Also there isn't enough things to go on with the story beside the fact that venus resent sky for rejecting his feelings, THAT'S IT!
It's not all negative, the actor SKY is really great. he is so cute and has this sexual appeal that i can't get my eyes off of him..LOL
The amount of being cutie and trying hard to get into venus nerves is so adorable! On the other hand, the actor Venus is just fine I guess. He needs more acting skills and training, I find it lacking in heart of acting, I didn't feel his anger over sky, It's plain and bland, sorry!
Overall, this series is good if you're not doing anything then you can watch it and just skip the unnecessary scenes. My eyes is glues on Sky....LOL!

VERY SLOW "COUPLE DEVELOPMENT" AND BLAND STORY LINE

First of all, I want to acknowledge Man's hotness and somewhat acceptable acting skills. Given that he is still fresh in the industry, he delivers the character well enough. On the other hand, Ben , I'm guessing he is also a fresh actor but still needs a lot of workshops in acting. I find him in this series boring and sometimes over-the top acting.

The premise is great, it's not that kind of BL where it's always the set up is either in high school or in university. The idea where the boss will eventually falls for the employee is great! But boy oh boy!!! How many episodes are we going to wait and see how Jen and Pat have a significant romantic scene!?? The closest we have so far is where Pat is crying over a comment on episode 7 and leans towards Jen.
It's so painful to watch Pat talks like he have this speech impediment thing. I don't know about it, is it in his acting or just plain stupid style?! Either way it's so annoying!
THIS IS ONE OF THE SLOWEST BL COUPLE DEVELOPMENT I'VE EVER WATCHED! YES THE TITLE IS STEP BY STEP BUT COME ON!!! IT'S NOT STEP BY STEP ANYMORE AFTER 7 EPISODES, ITS LIKE INCH BY INCH, IT'S LIKE A TOUR GOING TO "COMALAND" OR MAYBE "BORINGLANDIA". PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY SNOOZING WHENEVER THEY WATCH BEN TALKS AND SPEAKS LIKE EEHH...OOHHH... P'JEN...IIIHH..EEE...OOHHH LIKE COME ON SPIT IT OUT!!!!! IT'S NOT CUTE AT ALL!!!! YOU ARE WASTING MAN'S HANDSOMENESS AND GOOD LOOKS! SERIOUSLY!! Dee Hup House WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR COMPANY?? I USED TO LOVE YOUR SERIES ESPECIALLY LOVELY WRITER... LOVELY WRITER IS ONE GOOD EXAMPLE OF A GREAT COUPLE DEVELOPMENT... I'M SURPRISED THAT MYDRAMALIST GAVE THIS SERIES A 7.8 RATING WHERE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN 1.0

WELL BALANCE ROMANCE AND GREAT CASTING!

The Finale is almost upon us all and I must say Jun and Jun delivers a well balanced rom-com BL series. Like any other Korean BL that I've already reviewed, Korean BLs are like Pizzas, you cannot NOT like it and it's always good (no pineapples please LOL). I mean, who doesn't like Pizza right? It fills you and satisfies your hunger, korean BL always offers just the right amount of love, comedy and drama.
Can we stop and acknowledge how Hot Ki Hyun Woo (JUN) and Park Hyeong Seop (Simeon) are?? I mean that right there is a manifestation of a "boyfriend material". In episode 7, I just love when Jun and Simeon fight Over Lee Jun, Choi Jun's possessiveness is so adorable.
I just hope and i know the last episode will end well, I just feel it in my bones.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING JUN & JUN TO EVERYONE. CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS, SUCH A NICE STORY!

LIKABLE CHARACTERS AT VERY FIRST EPISODE!

First of all can we give Taro Lin a pat in the back for giving us great acting skills and given that it's his first series (that I know of). Also the hot and gorgeous Kai, I mean hello mister hot eyes and smile!!!???
Taiwan BL has done it again!! Giving us a light and fluffy story of Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi with a side cherry and I will say it again, the secondary couple deserves a separate series too. Nat and Louis did a great job and it looks like they are not just a secondary couple, at some point in the series I crave for their story and for that we need a separate series for this two great actor.
I wouldn't say this series is perfect but I will say that it's likable and it's worth re-watching it over and over again.
I love how Bai Zong Yi developed his love for Fan Ze Rui and vice versa. They protect each other, showed their vulnerability which is in my opinion a great point. Each have a dark past and eventually became a rock for each other to lean on.
In the episode where Bai Zong Yi is being treated by Fan Ze Rui and well.........leads to the most awaited scene that BL addicts is waiting for...I wouldn't say sex scene, I would say LOVE scene! LOL!! From the very beginning of the series till the love scene, I see Fan Ze Rui as the dominant one given the fact that he is a "gangster". Then the bed scene came and when he said to Bai Zong Yi: do you know what you are doing? and then shoot!!! I SCREAMED LIKE I NEVER SCREAMED BEFORE...LOL!! I said WHAT!!!????? Really?? But I think it's hot! LOL! I mean look at their height differences it's so cute! (AND SAME GOES FOR CHEN YI AND AI DI!!!) I said to myself, don't judge the looks and Bai Zong Yi and Ai Di is a great example for that. All i thought this are the WIVES of the series LOl!

I have to give to BL Taiwan a hard YES YES YES and more YES! For the past series that I've seen so far, KISEKI is in my TOP 5. And I think there's still more Taiwanese BL series to come, VBL, a BL series production company that made "STAY BY MY SIDE" and "YOU ARE MINE"(one of my favorite) have list of BL line ups and it will premiere this November till next year 2024.

Being said that........I highly recommend this BL and allt he upcoming Taiwanese BLs to come!

GREAT STORYLINE AND CAST! FRIENDSHIP TURNED INTO LOVERS!

First of all Phu and Nun is so good and the chemistry is undeniable. On the other hand, Party, this guy...why always this guy is a minor character!!?? He got a lead role in one of the BL series i watched and i forgot the title because its forgettable (LOL), it;s because of the storyline and the characters around him. Boss is a great actor don't get me wrong! He has all the qualities of a good "TOP" (Lead), he's handsome, the charisma and oh my god the eyes and lips.... I just hope he will be in a better BL series where the story doesn't suck because a guy like him deserves much!

Going back to Nan and Phu, i always love this kind of BL where friends turns into lovers kind of thing. I love where Phu is so reserved and concealed about his feelings just to protect Nun and their friendship. He's feelings for Nun is like a volcano that's ready to burst anytime (well they burst in episode 10....together....LOL).
I just can't understand why this series is so underrated if not ignored on social media, because I couldn't see anyone talking about this masterpiece.

I just wish they could've stretched it till episode 11 or 12 where Phu meets his mum and introduce Nun or something like that. Their wedding could've been a great additional episode.

I'VE HAD A FAIR SHARE OF BL DRAMAS AND THIS IN PARTICULAR IS GREAT! IT HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT A BL SERIES SHOULD HAVE. FRIENDSHIP TURNED INTO LOVERS IS SOMEWHAT CLICHE IN ROM-COM BUT IF THE STORYLINE IS GOOD, IT WILL SURELY WORK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "THE PROMISE"!!!

"THE RIGHT WAY ON MAKING A MULTIPLE COUPLE IN 1 B L SERIES"

As I said in the cover of this review, this is a great example of how multiple couple story in BL series is done. Not messy, clear story, interconnected to each one of the couple and most important is it make sense.
I've seen multiple BL that tried to incorporate not just 1, 2, 3 but 4 couple in one series and it's a hell of a mess! It's not connected to each other, and if it is, it does not make any sense to the story. I am not shaming any country on this review but Thailand BL does this a lot and more often than not, it's more confusing and leaves the viewers on WHAT!!? WHY!!?? HOW!!??

Love Class 2 is the first Korean BL that introduces multiple couple and they did a great job!
The teacher-student fiasco is such a cute one especially the progression of their story. KIm An and Joo Hyuk is perfect and they did a great job! Their kissing and bed scenes and tastefully done, in fact all three couple's romantic scenes are tastefully done. It's not sexual in a sense that you would imagine it's a gay porn, it's not!
Bestfriend to lovers has always a place in my heart. Ma Roo's sweet face and charisma and Min Woo's child-like but super protective traits is one too watch! This couple sue nailed their role!
The third couple on the other hand is somewhat "fine" to me. Senior and junior to lovers, I feel like this two needs a bit of sugar or maybe the chemistry.....Other than that they did a great job in acting.
If i were to rate each couple it would be.... 1 - Teacher and Student, 2- Bestfriends and last would be the Senior and Junior.

WITH ALL THIS THOUGHTS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS FRESH BL SERIES. IT'S FLUFFY, LIGHT AND CUTE. LESS DRAMA, MORE CUTENESS!

AN UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE

THIS SERIES JUST RIPPED MY HEART OUT AT ENDING.... IT BROKE MY HEART FOR WEEKS AFTER WATCHING THE SERIES BUT THEN I REALIZED ITS TITLE JUST MAKES SENSE, "ETERNAL YESTERDAY". THEY ARE LIVING IN THE PRESENT BUT THEN THE OTHER GUY'S LIFE IS ALREADY SOMEWHAT IN THE PAST CUZ HE'S A LIVING CORPSE AND HIS TIME ON EARTH IS ALREADY FINISHED BUT WITH MICHAN'S LIFE AND LOVE ENERGY MADE KOICHI SO ALIVE. BUT IN THE END KOICHI CHOSE TO END THAT NICE AND MEMORABLE TIME WITH MICHAN BECAUSE IF HE STAYED ANY LONGER WOULD MEAN HE WOULD BE FEEDING ON MICHAN'S LIFE ENERGY AND THOSE AROUND HIM. HE IS SO BRAVE AND SELFLESS WHICH BREAKS MY HEART!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS JAPANESE BL MAKING MY HEART FLUTTER WITH SERIES SUCH AS "CHERRY MAGIC" THEN BREAKS MY SOUL WITH THE MOVIE "LIFE" THEN AGAIN STAB MY HEART WITH "ETERNAL YESTERDAY"❤❤‍🩹💔😭😭 THERE ARE ONLY FEW JAPANESE BL's THAT ARE SO UNDERRATED BUT SO DAMN GOOD. SOME DOESN'T NEED A KISSING SCENE AND YET THEY CAN TAKE YOU WITH THEIR FEELINGS WITH THEIR ACTING. THIS IS WHY I LOVE JAPANESE BL SERIES..

DEFINITELY NEEDS SECOND SEASON!!!

FIRST OF ALL, TSENG JING HUA AND PENG CIAN YOU...AMAZING!!
OBVIOUSLY THE STORY IS 10/10, ALL EPISODE DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. IT'S ALL CONNECTED AND BOY OH!BOY YIYONG AND GUANG YAN IS SO FUNNY. THEIR CHEMISTRY IS ON POINT. NOW I SEE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA KEEP SHIPPING THIS TWO ACTORS FOR BL SERIES. THAT IS BECAUSE , YES, THEY DO FIT TOGETHER!
THE LAST PART OF THE SERIES REALLY MADE ME CRY LIKE A BAWL, THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF DRAMA, NOT A BIG BUDGET (I GUESS) BUT ITS SO GOOD THAT PEOPLE ARE WANTING TO HAVE A SECOND SEASON WHICH IS REASONABLE GIVEN THE WAY THE SERIES ENDED. IT'S LIKE A HALF CLIFFHANGER AND HALF FULFILLED STORY.

WE WOULD REALLY WANT A SEASON 2,

DEPRESSING but GOOD........HEART-WRENCHING but WARM........CONFUSING but ADDICTIVE

First of all, can we stop and notice how handsome Jang Woo Young is!!?? I mean come on!! This is the first time I seen this actor and boy oh boy his eyes made mine locked on him and I didn't even care about Choco (Lee Jae Bin) LOL.... The entire series I was awwwwwww to Woo Young's eyes and HELLO!!!!???? The scene where he is topless!!!! Good lord I need some helping....hahahhaa

I must admit that this series is a bit complicated and confusing, well, if you don't pay attention in the whole run then you're gonna end up know which is which and what is what...... They are both complicated, they restrict their selves so much and put each other in pain which is so depressing to watch.... This is one of the problem in Korean BLs, at least this is what I think, they restrict their story so much that left people wanting for more and sometimes disappointed at the end. Yoon Dae's situation isn't that bad compared to Soo Hyuk. I mean it's depressing enough to watch this two hurt by their situations and be hurt by each other, but Soo Hyuk is more depressing situation made me more angry....I mean with his mother and that shitty father??!! Come on!!

I would say the ending sucks though.... It sucks but creative. 5 episode isn't enough.
This drama lives up to its title.... GREY SHELTER... It really is GREY.... depressing, frustrating and sometimes cold.

Shout out to the INTRO art... its a well thought art and the music....its really GREY in a sense..
I still recommend this drama though, I don't know if there's a rewatch value to it, unless you only want to see JANG WOO YOUNG....like i did ...hahahahah

CLICHE PLOT, MEDIOCRE ACTING AND WASTE OF MONEY MAKING THIS SERIES

The whole school themes BL series nowadays is somewhat tiresome and repetitive. It only works with seasoned directors and actors, a good example would be "be my favorite", "Enchante", "HIStory:Days of our lives", I could go on with all this good examples but you know my point is.
I think this series is a low-budget given the fact what kind of cinematic they've used and the actors they hired. If I am not mistaken, this actors are new to the industry. I mean what the hell is the casting director doing?? Is he/she BLIND?? Not for insulting but they can cast better and more I would say "sell-able" face.
The plot is worst, acting is mediocre, the setting is cliche. Just because BLs this past few years exploded in popularity means everyone will appreciates just "any" story. This one in particular doesn't even have the essence of a good series. It's like slapping a paint on the wall without considering it's purpose.
I am surprised that it garnered 7 points rating where it should have only 1, sorry for the fans of this series but I've seen a lot of BLs since I can remember and I've seen better, I've seen worst and this in particular is not even in the middle.

CONFUSING FIRST COUPLE, ADORABLE FLUFFY SECOND COUPLE

FIRST of all, whoever idea that scenario where you make a call and all of a sudden the person you called just appeared in frot of you and all with interactions and stuff....IS SO STUPID!!!!!!! You are making the viewer engaged with something false and confusing! Good thing I quickly catch-on with whatever that idea is!!! DIRECTOR....SCRIPT WRITER...BOOOHOOOO!!!

I am more interested on the second couple, they have more promising story that a stupid time travel shenanigans with a twist of idiotic phone call crap!! I watched this series because JASON TAUH is in it! I watched every BL he made not only he's hot and handsome but also talented, character wise! Anson Chen, It's my first time seeing him and I must say he is a great actor. Together with Jason Tuah, boy oh boy they make a good BL couple!

I JUST WISH THEY DIDN'T MADE THAT PHONE CALL SHIT THING ON THE FIRST COUPLE, IT WOULD'VE BEEN MORE INTERESTING WATCHING THEIR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. JASON AND ANSON'S CHARACTER IS SPOT ON! I CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND WELL WHERE THOSE COUPLE GOING.

FOR WHOEVERS GONNA WATCH THIS SERIES YOU BETTER WATCH CAREFULLY ON THE FIRST COUPLE, I HOPE YOU DON'T GET LOST AND CONFUSED WHENEVER YOU THOUGHT THEY'VE ALREADY MEET BUT IN REALITY ITS JUST A PHONE CALLL SHIT!

IF ANSON AND JASON'S STORY I WOULD GIVE IT A SOLID 8.0
WHILE THE 1ST COUPLE IT'S FAIR TO GIVE THEM 6.5, IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT THOUGH, IT'S THE SCREEN WRITERS AND DIRECTOR!!!!
