You really have to be in the right mindset in order to watch this. It will break your heart. You will cry almost every episode. You will scream at the unfairness of it all. But it is so fucking good. The cinematography is absolutely amazing, every single actor brings their A game and you will fall in love with every single one of them, yes even the villain. Will I watch it again? Probably not. I had to space out the episodes to one every few days and during the later episodes one every week, because like I said....ouchie in the heart lol. Maybe in a few years I'll watch it again. But I definitely recommend if you like fantasy set in a modern time. And it has a happy ending....kind of.

After getting into BLs and hearing about how this was one of the best, I had to check it out and honestly I really don't know how to feel about it. This is definitely a "slow burn" and I actually kind of hate slow burns. I don't know, I gave it a 7/10.

YAAYY!!!! But also in future articles could we limit the word "controversy" to only once or twice and also in separate paragraphs. It was literally written three times in one paragraph. That's a little excessive.

WARNING: COMPARISONS/SPOILERS WITH/FOR THE KDRAMAS BULGASAL AND RECORD OF YOUTH...PROCEED WITH CAUTION IF YOU PLAN ON WATCHING THOSE.

I absolutely loved this...but fvcking hell my poor heart. It gave me almost as much heartbreak as Bulgasal did...almost.

I was able to hold in most of my tears until EP11 but then that ending scene finally broke me. I openly wept for a while and actually had to take a break. Off's acting...fvck man. Even now, a few hours later and also after finishing the special, my heart still hurts just thinking about it. But happy ending thank goodness. I don't know if I would have able to handle an open ending like with "Record of Youth" after all that heartache.

Right? When I watched the behind the scenes, as soon as I saw him crying I started crying and just wanted to reach through the screen and give him a hug. Thank goodness Jeff was there and was able to help calm him down...our baby Barcode deserves all the love.

Bad Buddy was my first BL lol. And thank you for your other suggestions, they will be going onto my watchlist.

I love Cutie Pie so much! The fact that they are talking about marriage equality and how love is love and bringing up consent...oh my word, even in the straight dramas that I watch they don't do that. Lian stopping and making sure that Kuea is not drunk and that he knows what they are leading up to and stopping once again telling Kuea to tell him to stop if he doesn't feel good...seriously, I love this series for that alone lol although I love it for many more reasons lol. The chemistry between all of the couples are just off the charts. Also, I have never seen so much tongue action in a BL or even just an Asian drama than I have seen in this one. Seriously.......wow.

This is, simply put, the cutest, fluffiest, most adorable TV show I have ever watched and I absolutely adore it!! The best introduction into the genre that is BLs.

This was so good. Granted I would recommend having tissues nearby you at all times and to only watch one episode in a sitting and have a comedy on standby. It is super heavy and they put all the characters through the wringer. Sure they do have some lighthearted moments, but it is mainly very serious and shit goes down starting from the beginning of episode 1 all the way to episode 16. Everyone did an amazing job in this. The acting was absolutely superb and VFX are amazing. I personally loved it.

I am currently on episode 13 and it is so heavy. Take the heaviness of Goblin and times it by 10. This definitely is not a romance, it's not super cliché-y and it is one that makes you second guess yourself. Makes you second guess whether or not you know which way it's going to go, makes you second guess that you know for sure who the bad guy is.
If you like a drama that you can tell what is coming up next and you're always right, this one is definitely not for you. If you like ones that make you second guess yourself, then this one great. But I do recommend not binging it. I was only able to watch 4 episodes in one day and I had to take a break for while because it was so painful. But it really keeps me coming back for more. Definitely have a romcom or funny compilations of your favourite celebs on hand for the really painful episodes.

I loved it so much. Most definitely a must watch, especially if you are a fan of Minho's. He's just so stinking cute in this!!

I watched this because I got into SHINee the passed year and I'm slowly going through all of their dramas and movies and I have to say after watching many kdramas in the passed year, this is a good turn off your brain, you don't need to think drama. Yes it is cringy but I always find the "pretend to be someone you're not and try not to get caught" storylines very cringy so that's just me. Besides all that, it's a good drama.

Ngl I mainly watched this for Key and I don't regret it. For someone who was used to watching dramas with a romance aspect to them, it was a good break from that. It will make you want to binge it so maybe block out a few days of free time before watching. You may be a little disappointed with the ending, but all in all it was a good show.

That's just what I felt watching this drama. I listen to the Your Lie in April OST quite a bit and some of the instrumentals in Doom At Your Service reminded me so much of some of the instrumentals in Your Lie in April. I don't know what else to tell you.

I have to say that I loved this drama. If you're looking for something that's a little more slow paced than some dramas that came out this year, I highly suggest this one. Plus the OST is amazing. It reminded me so much of the Japanese anime Your Lie in April (the OST not the plot lol). The acting is amazing, all of the actors just draw you in. I found myself crying so often in this one, almost every single episode. It also had the best ending. A whole ass episode dedicated just to wrapping everything up. I loved it. I hate when they only take 10 minutes or less to wrap everything up in a drama. This one was perfect.

Did you not see the “this is full of toxic masculinity” part? I thought that encompassed all of that. If not then I’ll say it here again. Boys Over Flowers is also FULL of toxic masculinity. The way that these people get away with everything is absolutely ridiculous. Where are the teachers? Where the people calling 119/112? Why is everyone just going along with it? How did this show get so popular and why is it still so popular when everyone is cracking down on bullying in South Korea. Even now, just a whiff of a ~30-year-old celebrity who maybe made fun of someone once in middle school can get them cancelled. And yet this show is still popular? WTF?

This movie was amazing. If you like historical war movies, I highly recommend this one. However, if you are a Shawol and don't want to watch Minho's character get killed off in the end, then I recommend maybe going to watch one of his dramas instead.

I am happy that my comment was able to sway you lol. I hope you have a great time watching.

I personally loved this drama so much. I watched it after watching Empress Ki and Healer and I found it absolutely amazing. I personally love political thriller and action together (Captain America: The Winter Soldier was my favourite Marvel movie until Infinity War and Endgame knocked it down to 2nd place). Ji Chang Wook is AMAZING in this. He is such a great actor. He really is one of the few that can do every single genre out there. After watching this the first time I had to immediately watch it again because I felt that I missed so much the first time around and boy was I right. If you love action, political thriller and a little romance thrown in this is definitely the one for you. Plus it doesn't hurt that you get to see Ji Chang Wook fight other men in the shower :P. And yes they are naked. Unfortunately as this is a K-drama, the butts are blurred out. Still the sexiest thing you will watch.

I got as far as the 5th episode. I just couldn’t. One thing K-dramas have to get on board with is just because a girl is poor/not traditionally pretty does not mean that she is without table manners (only recently have they started to get on with this). I know talking with your mouth full of food isn’t considered rude in Korea but they went over board with the FL character in this. Also this is just full of toxic masculinity. I know this jump started Lee Min Ho’s career to where it is now but I just couldn’t get on board with it. I watched The Heirs and that was good enough for me.
