Blindfoldedly... go to YouTube and find this amazing series❤️

"Like in the movies" is less like a movie and more realistic like our daily life.
This BL is one of a kind series that I have not seen until now .. like trust me.. the story, cast, their acting is Bang ON!!

The leads- Karl and Vlad have great chemistry and an intriguing relationship which keeps your heart pounding every time you see them together ❤️

The dialogues are just wow and the way they are delivered is like cherry on the cake!

Vlad is an open gay who is strong headed and gives angry young man vibes but easily gets tamed into a sweet caring guy after meeting our munchkin Karl.

Karl on the other hand is a peace loving timid person who opens up and becomes more confident after meeting Vlad!
They both fill each other's gap thereby completing one's own self in this process ?

I have seen many BL till now but this one is on a completely different level than others.
It's romantic, soul filling, indulgent and a well thought and executed series.?❤️

Trust my words and watch this without any further delay and thank me later!!??

This being my first Filipino series I was little hesitant at the beginning but after watching this .... I have a whole new list of Filipino movies and series in my watch list... Not just BL but also straight ones!?
This is its impact!?

Last but not the least ... One of the best part of Filipino industry is the frequent use of English amidst their own language... It's so satisfying and cute to hear.... You will understand only after you watch it!?

So go for it!! ??

Ghosts won't haunt you, the lab doctors will.

How much a person can be willing to sacrifice to get a closure or to prove a point??!!??

This movie exactly delves into the above question and makes you feel heartbroken at the end.
The protagonist's sacrifice and selfish intentions will make you question "Was it all really needed?"

Talking about the story, it started off really good but seemed a bit off towards the end... Atleast for me the ending should have been something satisfying rather than a tragedy.

The concept of the story was really good and I expected too much from it therefore a bit disappointed,
otherwise the acting, plot everything was great.

There were little jump-scares here and there (powerful ones though) and the story is not exactly that terrifying but the tragic lives of the leads will definitely give you nightmares due to sadness.

All in all a good attempt to entertain for almost 2 hours.
Lastly I really want to appreciate the actor who plays Dr. Wee in this.
He can pull off any look and character, be it a stud / hero kinda look or a nerdy scaredy cat look (like in this movie)... He justifies all his roles❤️

Hope you watch this lab story without ghosts around you! Hehe ;D

Good cast with average story line.

If you like light horror movies with somewhat distorted faces and have time in hand then go for this.

The actors are good but the story is not upto the mark.
The ending is a bit disappointing and unsatisfactory.

'M kind of scaredy cat, so for me, there were lots of jump scare moments in the movie but actually for a horror fan the movie would be a cake walk.

The story starts off good and creates interest but soon you will find the it going haywire and boring.

They could have made good use of many characters within the story (eg. The half blind boy, detective, etc)
But they were just wasted.

The lead actress just looks bland with no interest in the spooky elements that keeps happening around her. Like literally she turns a blind eye to every suspicious thing she encounters which normally would make people run for their life.

Many scenes are confusing and unnecessary cause proper conclusion has not been given to them.

All in all... You can skip this movie if you are busy and want to watch something fulfilling, otherwise watch this movie for about 1 hr 40 mins... And after it ends regret watching it and come here to leave a review for others like you ?
(P.S: I did my part! )?

Good story but under-utilised premise

I will give my honest opinion here.
I went to watch this because of all the 9/10 kinda reviews and the hype of the manga.
But frankly I found this below my expectation.

The story of this movie is excellent and had lot of scope but they didn't utilise it fully.
The chemistry between the leads was undeniable but I think they shared less screen space than what they should have spent given the plot.

It started off very well for me because I love the concept where ML is a cold hearted guy who slowly falls for the FL.
Being a movie he fell very fast which is understandable but then they had very little one on one interactions in the second part of the movie and next to no scene of intimacy given the fact that both were equally attracted to each other.

Some scenes were very heart warming where he cared for her and literally burned down the house just to find her. I will give full points for such scenes.

But I feel they didn't do justice towards the end by making the plot easy and predictable.
The battle at the end could have been more interesting given the fact that she had joined too.

Anyway.. because of the hype maybe I was disappointed but otherwise it's a good movie to watch. Just that don't let others expectations get to your head.. l m sure you will enjoy this movie As Long As you keep a clean slated mind! ;)

Why R U hesitating to watch this?

To sum up this series:
K-BL + enemies turned lover + Lot of good kisses

I love when Korean BL have some real kisses instead of pretend to kiss or dead fish kiss in them.

This series has lot of such good kisses which I appreciate but then I remember the last episode kiss which seemed forced to me and hence I didn't enjoy them frankly (of both leads).

The plot and acting are quite good though there was lot of things they could have done with such amazing story line.

I would point out that the editing seems bad coz some scenes are as if the beginning of them were cut down while some seem too rushed.
The direction could have been better given the good star cast.
It was as if some amateur was taking up his first project and failed here & there while trying to complete his assignment.

There are lot of things to complain like the unnecessary dragging of second lead's storyline when all they had to do was to sit and talk it out or how one of the main lead is always running away from another but ends up kissing him passionately the next moment which breaks the link of his character.

But still you will enjoy watching this one and won't regret it. So I recommend you this which will satisfy your BL cravings in a good way.

"My Review And Your Choice" ??

First of all... 'm 9 episodes down and the least I have seen in this series are 'the Gear and the Gown'!!?

Ok.. on a serious note...

This BL is kind of attractive but trust me you won't understand till the end what keeps you coming back to it.
Like for me.. the storyline lacks.

It's basically just about a High IQ, Introverted, glasses-clad med student 'PAI' who falls for a Good looking, heighted, basket ball athlete-cum-engineering student 'Itt'.

At the beginning they set out on the wrong foot but thanks to their friends 'Pure' and 'Waan' they somehow grow close and eventually become inseparable when Pai starts tutoring Itt (thereby supporting him emotionally as well) as he helps Itt look after his ill mother who wants to see Itt as an engineer.

Later, due to a misunderstanding, (very lame that too ?) they again fall apart and then we see their university life where both of them meet again and of course get together after some push and pull and 'jealousy' ?
( frankly I love this element in BL ??)

The story is literally only this much... nothing more nothing less. (At least till now)
The actors are very cute and adorable but there's a lot of space for improvement in their acting and expression skills.

The BG music is okay... Like you won't have a memory where you were hooked on to it... So it's passable.

Direction is good but due to lack of strong storyline, it goes unnoticed.

As I mentioned before.. it's a mediocre level series with nothing much to be in awe with but there's something which makes you excited about the next episode and you can never think of dropping it midway!?

So I suggest - do watch this without much expectations and m sure you will like it too ❣️

Must watch! Best suspense thriller

The story initially seems boring and predictable types but trust me DO NOT LEAVE THIS MIDWAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES FOR YOU TO GET GLUED ON TO THIS DRAMA!!

I usually love rom coms more but this is much better than what I was expecting out of it.

If you like suspense thriller with comic element, this one is for you.

Only thing I found disappointing is that there were no kissing scenes at all despite having such good kissers as leads and great chemistry between them.

Rest everything right from acting, direction, story, etc was too good.

You will keep on guessing who the real culprit is and till the very end you won't find the correct answer to it which is the best part of this drama.

I really loved it... Though in the beginning I was about to give up but the leads chemistry and interaction kept me coming back to it and after a few episodes it's the story that kept me glued over it.

Do watch... It's worth your time!

More like Struck by lightning actually!!

In the K-BL era where BL series are getting better, this came across as a huge disappointment.
The story started off really well and had really good scope to develop for better but the last episode ruined it all.
It was such a rushed ending , rather,
the leads getting into a relationship was the start of the 'rush till the end' motto of this series.
I mean they had good 8 episodes span and enough time to show the leads getting into a relationship and enjoying their dating period but instead they just had to drag the story unnecessarily and get them together at the very end.
I don't understand, since they were friends from the beginning and the presumably straight lead showed enough signs of being jealous and being possessive over the other lead then why the hell they had to drag their confession until the end.
The fights between the two were also very immature.

The one and only kiss scene is also a cheat scene which made me more mad.

The last episode really didn't make any sense to me but was happy that it ended coz I couldn't put up with their dragged story anymore.

Do Watch this but with no expectation bcoz atleast the first 6 episodes are worth watching and are the reason for my overall 7 star rating.

Realistic drama.. an expected Korean BL

To begin with , I called it realistic because the awkward stares and the interactions felt real as if it was not a filming scene but a moment straight out of a daily life of a person.

Other BLs show this dreamy world where leads are so much in love or are ardent enemy turning into lovers, but here everything goes smoothly.

Little more screen space was required to show how and why the chef falls for and is tender towards the soju guy at the beginning, given there was no previous interactions between them

But anyway, the story is average, a bit dragged but the cute moments and expressions makes up for it.
The kisses were just touch of lips as expected from Korean BL but not complaining since they look natural and awkward at the same time.

Watch it without expectations and move on to next one because it won't linger in your thoughts after it gets over.

Give this series a first chance naa...

To begin with the flaws of this series...
The story kind of hops here and there while you try to connect the dots.
The actors are good but I think it's the direction that lacks.
The story is mediocre and predictable.
There are 3 couples but I guess the screen time given to the 2nd couple is comparatively less and 3rd is next to negligible.
I almost thought they won't end up together.

All the couples could have easily talked it over and got together in the 2nd epi itself coz the reason for their rejecting each other is childish.
Like the 1st couple are BFFs
Both stay close like flower and it's bud
Both don't like anyone else coming in between them
Both sneak peek at each other but when one of them confesses his love the other one straight away rejects... Like why?
Anyway...

Good points:
-The chemistry of main leads is good.
-You get a Fresh feeling of love from their stories.
-No unnecessary third wheels
-No over the top characters (except a girl)
one can relate to their daily life
-Cute moments light up the screen
-Even the evil character looks handsome (Hehe!)

All in all you can definitely give a first chance to this second chance series :D

Go for it!

P.S: The second lead and the third lead have real brothers casted. So it's really confusing at first.
Coz they look mirror reflection of each other if not for their different hairstyles.
I mistook both of them as being the same character till 5th ep (I know... My stupidity when I even knew both of them had different names - Jeno & Near)
giving a warning in advance .. just in case.. there's someone like me ;)

Must watch!! Highly recommended (trust me on this blindfoldedly) ;)

This drama is my most fav drama till date which I rewatch time and again! (Of course skipping few unnecessary scenes)

The story starts off with a Cold CEO and his employee's sweet sour and "scary" relationship (not his secretary bcoz his secretary Mr. Kim is already good and sweet enough to continue his position.. you will agree when you watch).

The show has spooky elements and at the same time perfect mix of romance comedy and jealousy? which is a treat to eyes ?

I recommend this drama to all beginners who will eventually love this and become a kdrama addict!!
Also to those who love CEO-Assistant storyline.

Signing off...
Just start watching the first episode already and after 2nd gets over m sure you will be hooked on to this ???

The actors are amazing and so is the BG score....
What more to say... Go for it! Fighting!!✊??

Don't expect too much out of this mini series.. just watch and enjoy!

As my title reads...
The duration of this series is too small to even comment over it.

When I first read the synopsis of this I was really excited coz the story was something different and the actors casted were amazing as I had seen their earlier work.

As the series began, it was very interesting..
The banter between sis in law and gender switched wife, the sexual tension between the leads and their undeniable chemistry.

The actors are superb.. the second lead literally talks with his eyes... The fire in his eyes is something out of this world.

I somewhere feel their talent and acting skill was not fully used in here.
Towards the end the story felt lacking the charisma with which it started.
Despite being 10 mins short.. the last episode felt draggy and unnecessary.

But as I had mentioned before.. it is too mini of a series to even expect something out of it.
Complaining about it makes me sour since I give it the back door that due to lack of time the makers couldn't give justice to the story and it's closure.

I conclude with the following :
Watch this series for the actors, chemistry between them and their handsome faces!! ;)

Don't Think... go watch now!

Oh my.. what a thriller cum suspense movie. One of the best K-movie of this genre I must say.

You will keep on guessing what might be the catch but till the very end you won't know.
So take my opinion over this, don't force yourself to pick up on any clues.. you won't get any.. in this process you will ruin the mood that the movie is going to set.
Just watch with a blank mind and enjoy this masterpiece.
Trust me.. i somehow resent myself for ruining it by thinking about the possible suspense in every 5 mins.

The acting the plot is mind boggling and will leave you amazed at its twist and turns.

The first 15 mins may seem like a horror genre and m not gonna lie.. there's a jumpscare as well to make you believe it to be one. But actually it's a thriller suspense movie so don't quit just because it scared you in the beginning! :D

Must watch movie!

Gay straight pairing ... Light BL vibes ... A good one though

As my headline suggests .. they made a gay- straight pairing. Maybe that's why there was no intimate or even a kiss scene between the leads but their chemistry was bang on!
The story moves slowly and gets interesting as it progresses.
The acting is pretty good.
The theme seems to be BL but it is light hearted comic cop story with little sadness and twist here and there.
My BL heart really wished for a different ending or atleast a final kiss between the leads to make up for the ending bcoz even though one of the lead claimed himself to be "Straight" but you can find him slowly falling for the other lead.

Anyway, overall a good movie to watch and kill time.

It gets better with every passing episode

First of all .... Good kisses... Which are not peck or dead fish kiss but actually satisfying ?

The characters are realistic or I may add a bit too realistic.
The cold lead is not actually cold but a cool guy with charm of his own.
The sweet guy is way too sweet with his cute dimples and smiley face.
The story revolves around office and makes a point to show that people are actually working!

As mentioned above, the story gets cute with passing episodes but I felt the ending a little rushed. A final kiss at the end could have been perfect but anyway a good attempt by korean BL makers.

Do watch if you don't have much on hand and love small cute BLs
