That was a promising start. Maybe it's a bit early to judge, but the story sounds creative and interesting, directing seems to be good, as is the acting. I liked Title Tanatorn in "Remember 15" although I had to drop that series because it was just too bloody with all the chopped off limbs. Then he and the other Title saved "Remember me", and here he's doing a good job again.
I could well do without the Thai part of the story. The plot of the people at the restaurant is ridiculous and boring - just having to watch Sky kissing Win after throwing up makes me want to puke, and if the chef wants her restaurant to be THE restaurant, she should already have kicked Sky out.
I also think that sometimes the acting of the restaurant crew looks amateurish, esp. the female chef and, sorry to say, Miko, too. I liked him a lot in "My Day", but here it sometimes feels like he doesn't even know his lines, and Teejay looks like he just doesn't want to be there.
The Filipino story is much more appealing, the acting is way better, and the actors really engaged and also attractive. It feels like there were two completely different crews at work. For me, Hiro, Jericho, and Adrian are the true stars of this show.
I didn't see this coming, but this is a gem. Good writing, interesting characters, actors who know how to act and seem to have fun - such a lovely show. As it's way too short, I'm already hoping for a season 2.
That accusation came after a series of personal insults, so I blocked that person. I'm ready to deal with harsh criticism, but what that person did had nothing to do with being facetious or freedom of speech. It was simply bad behaviour on the edge of offence. I can understand that someone who takes things in this forum more seriously than I do goes a step further and reports her to get her banned.
Sorry, but that person accused me of taking money from production companies for writing positive reviews, and that's neither entertaining nor hilarious.
It's interesting that two Korean BL series deal with psychological problems - in "The Eighth Sense" the lead character is in psychotherapy, and here the lead is on psychiatric medication. I think it's good that series don't deny any more that these problem do exist, and that there is treatment.
This is such a heartwarming series. I like the cautious and awkward way the MC are getting closer - it looks perfectly natural. But of course the little boy steals the show from them.
This masterpiece of a series takes the BL genre to a different level. The cinematography corresponds with the development of characters, and the sensitive choice of the music is perfect, too.
It's happening again - after "Enchanté" I had low expectations for "A Boss and A Babe", and I really love it now, and I had low expectations for this one because I thought "argh, another office boss and his babe again", but episode 1 was quite entertaining. And then there's this guy called Jaab...
In "Gameboys", the kiss through plastic film made sense, but here it only adds to the heap of ridiculousness. I kept watching this for the great cinematography and excellent cast, but they were wasted on an abysmal script.
Japan is doing it again! Funny story, good acting, promising start. 12 episodes is a lot, though, so I hope they won't run out of steam. Also, waiting 7 days for 25 minutes to air is a long time. But still - after all the fantastic series that have already come out of Japan this year, I have a feeling that 2023 could be a very good Japanese BL year.
I like this show because of the gathering of great acting talent, but it may have been better to complete the plot in 8 episodes. And can anyone tell me why I suddenly smelled roast chicken when those "scientists" created "lighting" inside Kiew's body?
This is turning into a real masterpiece. The plot feels so real, the writing found the perfect balance of warm and lovely scenes and scenes full of angst, and the acting in today's episodes was great.
Japan is giving us one quality production after the other this year, and it looks like "Our Dining Table" will be one, too. I've been Inukai's fan since he defied BL, and I thought he was brilliant in Kei x Yaku, but his acting in this one appears to be even better. All in all very promising start.
