i think this is definitely a possiblity because itd be a waste to let junho live and not do anything with his character. i feel like since we saw him spend most of s1 being the dumb muscle that everyone looks down on, he'll play more of active role in s2. at least that's what i hope haha id just like to see more of him

this is criminally underrated!! honestly, even if you removed all the bl elements i still think id like this, so the romance is just the cherry on top (including the gl side couple). In terms of pure enjoyment this could easily be 8.5+, but it's held back by the occasional confusing editing or dialogue choice (take a shot every time characters inexplicably switch to another language during conversation). also that awful english dubbing in ep 1... still i had a lot of fun with this and really hope a s2 is on the horizon.

is it just me or are the transition shots between scenes ai-generated? they are really distracting and really take me out of it every time. it's weird because the rest of the show seems pretty high quality and well made so i really dont get why they had to use ai. im all for low budget productions but this just comes off as low effort and trashy and it's really hampering my enjoyment

this was so comically bizarre im convinced it's meant to be some sort of parody. i just cant get over the scenes of the side couples going on cute dates juxtaposed with day torturing itt. sad theres no part 2 because i wanted to see where this trainwreck is headed

im conflicted about this one. despite only being 10 episodes it really felt like it dragged on at times with the repetitive nature of the plot. mark gave vee way too chances and 100% deserves someone better, but at least they have good chemistry together ig. their relationship felt toxic but not even in a fun way... im realizing i can only take so much of these doormat x muddy boots pairings. also as if the dubcon (only bc of the implication that vee was drunk as well) at the start wasnt bad enough, it's thrown back in mark's face several times as if it was his fault for being "easy"/slutty when he was literally the victim in the situation. overall this is far from the worst thing ive seen but a bit too soapy for my liking

he's really handsome. it's a shame he doesn't have more main roles. id love to see him as a ml in a bl drama or two 🤭

not my usual cup of tea but i couldnt stop watching this for some reason. sorn and jun's ''plot'' hard carries the show, everything else is pretty meh. the other couples are a snoozefest and theres also way too many random side characters and miniplots. regardless this is the type of show where you know exactly what youre getting into within the first 5 minutes so if thats enough to hook you you'll probably have a fun time. my biggest gripe however is how the synopsis seems to be describing a completely different story. you'd think it's an enemies to lovers type deal but sorn and jun are entangled with each other literally from scene 1 so it's more like fwbs to lovers. also i dont think sorn's age is mentioned but based on the others he can't be any older than like 25-27 so his whole 'I hate kids' shtick gets old quick like if jun is 21 you guys are literally in the same age bracket lol

i really dont think this is as bad an adaptation as everyone is saying. i mean if we're being honest the original thai version doesnt have the most groundbreaking story and you get all the same story beats here, only missing out on some extra fluff (but it also cut out the most cringy bits). overall i think if i ever wanted to revisit LITA id probably go for this version just for the better pacing and without the horrendous sound issues plaguing the original.

Knock Out has pretty good nc scenes

rain is definitely meant to be an airheaded character. if you really find it unbearable honestly you could just skip that part because the story is split in two, so ep 1-7 is rain and phayu and end of ep 7-13 is sky and pai. the biggest red flags are in skyprapai's story, rain and phayu are more cute and fluffy (though both male leads are equally possessive/aggressive to start). as a whole i think the show is a decent watch but the bike racing aspect is more of a side thing

this was a really good short. im always a fan of works that give insight into gay life in other countries, in this case following the perspectives of a couple gay youth who have dreams to live in seoul. characters felt believable and i especially enjoyed the friendship between the main three.

i cant believe this has such a low rating! ofc the production quality isnt amazing but the acting is decent and the script is coherent which is more than half of the stuff out there can say. i think this was delightfully absurd and over the top. i love how all the boys are inexplicably wearing jerseys all the time. the main actor does a great job being cute and creepy at the same time with that smile. overall definitely a fun time

it's available on Gagaoolala (though seems like only the VIP subscription tier)

is this still worth watching with the remake out now? it doesnt help that all the uploads i can find have terrible quality...

this is definitely one of the better "red flag" bl ive seen though i feel like they hammed it up a bit the last couple episodes. i like how the mc wasnt a spineless doormat for once and the ml's toxic behavior isnt sugarcoated. also good chemistry (and lots of angst)

not as good as poongduck but this was pretty cute. i think this pairing has good chemistry so it's nice to see them in more dramas together

i thought this was interesting but honestly maybe could have done without the romance... or at least if theyd changed it so that the romance between adult jaewoo and jihoon wasnt happening at literally the same time as him getting close to child jaewoo. i think it just felt a bit too much like a grooming situation at times even if there were no ill intentions. like i need to know how jihoon rationalized at the end being soulmates with a 10 year old lol

another comment explains it better (https://mydramalist.com/735755-coming-back-again#comment-22930722) but basically jihoon sacrifices himself to ensure that 10yo jaewoo will grow up then come back to him 15 years later. thats why in the letter he mentions 'another 15 years' and 'let's meet again. remember to come back to me.'

the time travel logic is a bit shaky but it seems to be more of a parallel universe time loop thing where 25yo jaewoo was allowed to briefly return to 10yo jaewoo's world in 2007, but at the end he goes back to his world in 2022. and since 10yo jaewoo survived eventually 15 years pass for him and it's now 2022 in his world, at which point the story repeats once again. so even though the final scene is a repeat of the first scene with jaewoo visiting the dormitory, its actually not our jaewoo that we started with but the other jaewoo now grown up.

You should definitely consider watching Bloodhounds if you haven't already (2 seasons). Gunwoo and Woojin are easily one of my favorite bromance pairings and they have so many great moments together

this is another one of those dramas where even by the end i question how/if they'll stay together longterm... fumiya's problem is that he bottles up his emotions until he explodes and lashes out and ritsu seems unconcerned to the point of ditziness. ultimately it feels like neither of them really changed at all or learned their lessons but especially fumiya as he was essentially given a free pass because ritsu conveniently got his memories back? also ritsu not mentioning that theyd had exactly 1 (one) interaction before is in no way comparable to fumiya lying about the kind of relationship they had, so it irked me how they tried to handwave it away like that. i think 6 episodes was just way too little to resolve this sort of conflict. like it's a bit absurd how we went from 'i cant live with you anymore' to 'jk lol let's live together again' in the span of like 15 minutes
