The story is amazing with some frustrating roundabouts(-0.5), but totally unpredictable in its own way.
The cast is amazing, and appeared totally natural in all their respective scenes (but I couldn't understand the shouting so the -0.5)
The music is simply phenomenal...no doubt on that. All the scenes matched up perfectly with utterly satisfying music.
And yes, inspite of the shortcomings, I am happy to watch it over and over again and recommend anyone who would be into this sort that I adore. So much better than regular relationship drama.
Go for it guys, absolutely no regret. ????????????

It was really cute, sweet and brought a lot of smiles throughout. loved the journey although ended a bit too hastily (I guess the Chinese Control is to be blamed for that) and our heroes didn't get a chance to confess face to face.
You will know when the time comes...he said...but that didn't ever come but the feeling of mutual understanding and consent was throughout there.
Wasn't steamy but really sweet.
But beware, at times it might really seem stupid execution of scenes which will seem like plot convenience (what was the shouting about in that episode...just...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...............LOL)
But really a must watch for fujoshis ;)
And whoever loves BL.
Really nice but unfortunately it was created in China where the future for such stuff seems really grim.
Enjoy the moment :)

I loved it.
Actually more because of the 13th episode. It changed it all. Fixed everything.
No spoilers here.
I saw people ranting about it but I was in the same group too ever since the "cheating" started. But it actually showed a lot of real life stuff that actually happens. Unlike fairy tales like 2 moons (whose next season still hasn't appeared on the watchable horizon).
The beginning was great fpr the story, showed the 2 types of parents right and the struggles related to the ones against and how they should end up understanding (the last scene was the cherry on top XD).
The scripting was a bit wierd and confusing at times (probably because of translation in my case) and music was somewhere good and somewhere bad. The biggest point is for Knock to improve his expressions, they were heavily out of place at many points throughout where his facial expressions didn't match the scene but rest were almost perfect.
The Farm storyline is too gruesome for me and I always skipped his parts. Very iterative and boring. I believe his part wasn't at all necessary in the story just like we had no specific story with Fai. Farm's end could have been more descriptive than depicted. Not necessary to the plot at all as it was really not in sync when he was cheating on his own and sitting together to counsel for others. Wastage of screen time.
My favourite character though in the whole season this time was none other than...Fai...the lovely lady standing as the pillar of support for all of the couples although standing alone herself.
This time Fai was the new Yiwha if I compare to the last season.
But I fear she will no longer be present in the next season as the story decided to send her abroad.
I would really like to see the couple(s) address more of such real world challenges after this in another season.
Let the people behind this awesome storyline take time and make another masterpiece and keep the flame of Together With Me burning just like the Supernatural series.
I love both of these.
Bottom line, I did feel like I watched the Sex & The City Movie plot in a more LGBT friendly scenario.

After episode 11 it plummeted
It had such an amazing entry.The episodes built up so well.
The comedy was good, the acting was good, the story was slowly falling into place.
But only up until episode 11.
After that whoever wrote the screenplay for 12-14 should be banned from the industry.
It was clearly evident as episode 15 and 16 only tried to sew back the holes or rather tears 12-14 made into the story.
Even the actors were so unwilling to do a story that was falling so fast.
All the roles, absolutely all of them were turned rubbish, the dialogues were desperate, the continuous element of communication broke so bad that no effort could bring it back to how beautifully it started.
I guess this is a trend now, start with all your effort put together so that it sells, but when it sells enough in the beginning, stop putting in effort and enjoy the fame for free as people will be forced to finish anyway, no matter how bad it is.
Horrendous, it had such great potential, could have evolved into multiple seasons without even getting the b of boring, but something terrible happened that ruined it.
Whoever did this should be cursed to drink half vamp blood.

The acting done by the leads and supporting characters are really very good considering it was the first for many and we have seen horrible examples of first (like the beginning episodes of Love Sick), in contrast this one was excellent.
The role of Aim was a bit off too but similar to what he did in the Waterrboyy Series.
And the chemistry between the two leads is also a bit blurred as it didn't quite feel like they have spent 2 years together, still so shy??? Seriously???

Absolutely phenomenal ????
The HIStory Series keeps getting better and better ????
And now since Taiwan ???????? is officially free of homophobia (and proud first in the East), this allowed for such a beautiful story to surface without any fear of backing out.????
Coming back to the story, it is a mixed bag of action, thrill, suspense, romance, "steamy" moments ???? (oof is it hot in here or is it just me?????) and plot twists.????
The cast is excellent, very natural.????
The music could have been better but it is overshadowed by the rest anyway ????
I would definitely watch it many more times and do firmly believe that all those who watch it once will definitely watch many times over. If you haven't already...give it a go...it will be worth every second of your time.????????????????????

Won't feel bored but plot holes will keep you wondering
A really fun series to watch with it's own weaknesses.The Bad(s) :
Character storylines go missing for characters who developed good enough.
Not a good ending for everyone, especially the BL/LGBTQ part and will keep making you ask "why?" (Korean series are well known for this but still could have been worse though)
Some storylines can feel like being clichéd.
The rap is really misplaced and ruins the really good bg music.
The negative roles didn't always get the same level of punishment that the good ones feared they will earn if they went rouge (this comes under the clichéd section I guess).
Once you finish, you may not want to re-watch it.
And yes, you will feel like a few cliff hangers too if you watch all characters as closely.
The Good(s) :
Amazing direction by the director.
Even though the episodes are so long, you will enjoy every second of it and never feel it is over-stretched.
The mix of emotions are phenomenal, you will be laughing out so hard and be touched really deep too, not to mention hit really hard by the sadness at times. The transitions will make you go crazy.
A never ending movie watching experience that you won't regret and you will never know when you passed almost 2 hours for every episode.
Great cast.
Conclusion :
Overall it was fun to watch with it's own frustrations and cliff hangers which probably will never be cleared and hence you won't feel like watching it again.

Meh
5 stars for all the new characters who brought so much depth to the series.Q, Bas, Jai, Khim, Tarn.
But realistically, the relationship would not last as Teh kept messaging Oh when he was dating for so long.
If it wasn't Jai how he was and he accepted Teh's advances, it would have ended way worse for Oh, then definitely Oh would have never accepted Teh back, and who knows maybe Teh wouldn't have wanted Oh anymore either.
This was just a gamble.
And they ended up happy just because of Jai.
-5 stars for Teh and Oh both.

Really warms your heart.
This series draws a lot of similarities from 2 moons (the first one), except for this one has somewhat more of an aftermath, skinship and naughtiness.Has a lot of elements and twists.
Turns away from clichés at quite a lot of places then again some are kinda necessary to make everyone squeal, so yes a good balance.
The music is very fitting but quite forgettable I think doesn't sit on my mind for too long like some others.
The cast is excellent with great chemistry except for the kiss(es).
Overall it will be a great heartwarming ride for almost all of the BL fans. :)
