Wait a second. Who is Darin?

I think the series might be more interesting, and make more sense, if the episodes were watched in reverse order. If anyone tries watching it that way then let me know what you think. Otherwise, don't watch it.

Perhaps my standards were lower, but it seemed promising. Actually, I also went in with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't think I would like the actors either, but they surprised me.
Mon reminds me of a better, and more likable, version of "Kit" (Copter Panuwat Kerdthongtavee) from Gen Y -- a character I disliked, in a mediocre series.

As for the plot, it seems like the 1st ep is the set up for the rest of the series (based on the show description). If you watch it as though it was the prologue to the story, then the pacing of the plot might seem more reasonable.
Otherwise, I'm actually still a bit weary of the upcoming plot, at least based on the show's description.
The whole "romance with a ghost" trope is getting kind of old, especially given how often the trope falls flat.

Don't be fooled! There's no half-naked Yutaro in this, despite the teaser at the end.

Wow, that was bad.
The lead has the emotional range of a wet brick.
This would probably be a better series if it was about a character who cannot express emotions.

I literally stopped watching the 1st ep halfway through so that I could take a nap.
That was the best part of this show -- that is, the part where I fell asleep instead of watching it.

What's wrong with these people? Don't they know how to make a wish?
Thana, you don't wish for a "job," you wish for money.
Nack, you don't wish for a kiss, you wish for someone to fall madly in love with you.
I know Thana just wants independence, self-worth, or something ... I'm not entirely sure.
The point is that a few million dollars works wonders for one's sense of self-worth.

And will someone get Gun some laxatives or an acting coach.

At this point, I am rooting for Mahiro to move on.
With episode 10, I have decided that the series is a story of how Mahiro gets over his high school crush after meeting him again as an adult and accidentally seeing him naked. That's the only way this makes any sense.

hah, I was being literal about what the kid was smoking. It isn't tobacco, but I don't think it was ever stated as being marijuana. With Thana's reaction to a single puff, it does not seem like pot.

This series just barely managed to retain my interest so far. But now, here we are; we're half way through the series so I might as well see where this is going.
So much depends on what sort of ending they go for. The best outcome is that the ending will make the whole series seem "interesting," but somewhere between "interesting good," to "interesting train wreck." Either would do.
However, the worst outcome would be that it was all just a waste of time.
If it was longer than 6 episodes then I am not sure if I would have taking the risk of watching it all.

Yeah, Time is an interesting one. I totally thought he would be a delinquent character or some other sort of trouble maker, but you're right in that he has technically tried to be constructive (the exception being whatever he was smoking -- what's up with that?).
The guest appearance by Kaownah Kittipat Kaewcharoen (listed as playing Nai) seems like he will be another supernatural. In the ending credits montage, he can be seen wearing a necklace of keys just like the store owner.
At this point, part of my interest is how are they going to wrap this up in 3 more episodes? Thus far, it seems like they could manage something, or it might end up being a train wreck. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I like literally only watched this for the scenes with Cheetah in it. I skipped most of the other scenes.
On that topic, it seems like he is listed for a main role in "My Universe," though it will probably just be for an episode or two.

Will watch for Cheetah ("Meen").

I sort of assumed that he mentioned the kiss because it was easier than explicitly admitting to being gay.

Han Joon's mom looks like she's a depressed wreck. I doubt that she is particularly fun to be around given what she is going through. If Yoo Jae's mom is Han Joon's mom's only friend, then HJ-mom might unload all her problems onto YJ-mom, or at the least just complain a lot.
Yoo Jae senses something is up, but mostly ignores it and just barrels right through it by giving the phone to his mom. This is ironically how he is reacting to how Han Joon is hanging out with Jin Hwan. The ending scene has Yoo Jae ignoring Han Joon and just barreling right past him like he isn't there.

Generally, Yoo Jae seems to be sort of a dick. He's aware of Chae Young but doesn't care enough to show his disinterest. He has some idea about Jin Hwan's crush, and he's suspicious about how Han Joon is sort of trying to set Jin Hwan up with Chae Young. Again, Yoo Jae senses something is up with Han Joon's efforts, but he mostly just gets insulted about it, even though he doesn't care about Chae Young. He merely tells Han Joon that he doesn't want to hear Jin Hwan's name -- ever again. That's Yoo Jae being a dick and trying to ignore what he thinks is happening between Han Joon and Jin Hwan.

That's 2 out of 8 episodes.
The tone and production of the series was well-established in the 1st of the two 18 minute episodes.
It's impressive, but it is another short Korean series.
I'm not sure what I would rate it, but it is already another Korean BL hit.

A car accident? Really?...
I was back-and-fourth on this one, but I think the car accident might have killed it for me (the puns!). Episode 1 wasn't bad, but I am just not really into the whole ostentatious life style of the rich and back-stabby.
Still, if they kill a character off like that with a car accident, or even worse, leave his fate unresolved, then I will probably drop it right there.

Did you notice that they're Boom and Bigboom? --> "Big boom-boom?" Or maybe just "Booms," plural? With/without a definite article, "The Booms?"

This is set in the same universe as the Love Mechanics / En of Love franchise series.
Recently (2022), the series, https://mydramalist.com/75821-love-mechanics aired which focused on the "War" Wanarat Ratsameerat and "Yin" Anan Wong couple. There is another series that aired in 2020, https://mydramalist.com/56383-en-of-love-love-mechanics , that also featured that couple in a more or less identical plot. In both they are Mark and Vee, respectively.

So, remake.

However, the difference in quality between the two series is stunning.
Generally, I find the Love Mechanics franchise to be sort of crappy, with the above 2022 series being a somewhat awesome exception. If you haven't seen the 2022 series then I highly recommend it. It's pretty much the best performance by that BL actor couple.

50 frames per second has an interesting effect.

This series obviously had the experience and production value borne out of the now-maturing BL film industry, but all the funds and resources were somehow squandered.
This squandering becomes more evident upon looking at the list of cast page.
Check it out. At the top of the page, the director is listed as the screenwriter. So the producers literally did not bother paying for a screenwriter. Whereas the script is so bad as to be figuratively non-existent, technically, the screenwriter is literally non-existent.

I think I need to start paying more attention to the listed director and screenwriter before I start a new series. Lesson learned.

This still leaves the problem of that "I'm handsome and lonely" trope. Its presence here cannot be entirely blamed on the show's production issues. For that, all we can do is hope that one day the trope will die quietly in the dark somewhere.
