A much better series
As one who has read the novel & watched the series Love Syndrome III, this was a much better series than the previous one. The acting, The production, The scenes, the transition from one scene to another & the blocking of the actors. I guess this had more budget than the previous series. I never expected Itt & Day's actor to be good!! Tbh, I have no expectations on this series & just want to watch it, but it was good!I'm really hoping that this has a continuation with the same group of actors. Sad to know that the director on this series has been deceased T__T
looking forward to the next part though~

Turns out to be one of my faves
At first I thought this would be one of those cringe time travel series but turns out it was good!Can't deny the acting - actors delivered~
the reason of the time travel is a bit too shallow at first though but the story was good **chef's kisses**
Pear (female lead) isn't toxic too~ such a breathe of fresh air on bl's~ ep10 could have also been an end but tge last 2 eps gives us a much more additional story and an additional ending on everything🥰
the Time travel concept isn't too scifi too~ Idk what is it but it just seems so natural on the series and I love it!
Krist as an Uke is such a cutieeee too😅

whyyyyyyy...
wanting to watch this after the series ends but I'm too bored to wait & I'm too lazy to wait for the book4 to be translated into English so tried watching it since I missed Day x Itt/Brick already & everyone~~Trigger Warning: There are physical violence and toxic relationship scenes in this series we're halfway through so if you're not into these kinds of drama better not watch as it'll affect your review.
- if you don't want to cringe in the series esp. Ep1 and you've read the novel just think that you're watching a whole new series that you haven't known. That's what I did while watching ep2 & so on. I've felt the cringe on ep1 as I've been comparing it to the novel. Which is a no-no. Pls. stop comparing the two so that you can have a blank slate while watching.
- there are scenes where the acting is a bit off and awkward, idk just my personal opinion. Some scenes are great especially when Day & Itt is only in the scene, Cried a bit too when I felt the emotions of Frank and Long but when everyone was in it, Ghad, I tell you it's chaos. Also, some actors lack the emotions/feelings in their roles. I know they can do better //crieeee//
- Again don't compare it to the novel. yes, it is adapted from the 3rd book (Love Syndrome III) but I'll tell you the book has a heavy, drama, dark feel whereas the series will leave you laughing 5555+ It feels different in a way.
- NielNik couple makes the series a bit more in the funnier side. A lot of people weren't satisfied with the actors but damn Kok's acting is just what I expected Nik's character will be 555+
- Hoping for more & more interaction between LongFrank/ DayItt I feel like it's still a bit on the surface & I still want more DayItt. Can't wait for ep7 to air. I can feel their chemistry & I still want more. I'll be rooting for this couple!!. (This'll be edited in the future)
- Nong Rossi is soooo cuteee!!!!
- I sometimes don't like the blocking, the transition & the way the camera pans at times. Hoping the next episodes will be improved.
- It's nice to see everyone having different jobs - Ball being a flight attendant(?), Meen an online seller/influencer, Nik (Medical field(but in the novel, he is helping Niel in their business tho, so IDK)
- I LOVE Itt's parents too! the way they love Day & at the same time I felt their love and worry for Itt.
P.S. not the final rating. will still edit the rating until the end of the series.

All over the place but it's cute
There are just too many plots since ep1 and it seems that every plot was brushed off or it never pushed thru except for the "Childhood crush" plot.Actors are cute, especially Bank. There are times that they are awkward? Idk but maybe the director tells to T_T. In some episodes acting is a bit too forced(?) and lacking but the way Mos & Bank look at each other~ we can tell they love each other irl.
The OST is such a gem!!! Bank's voice 😍😍😍😍. It's so captivating!! It suits the series at first but as the plot became cutesy it doesn't match the series at all. The song is suited to series like KinnPorche and some other Mafia-esque series. It would have been a hit!!!!
Became bored at the last episode and it's too cliche so I had to speed it up (2x speed) and skip most of the parts.
Last scene tho hahahahahahahhahah ohghad, I read that there wouldn't be season 2 but a movie so idk what'll happen granting Yai said that he'll be living in the US with Mangkorn~

Noteworthy watch
Felt a bit lacking in the storyline though. There are parts in the movie that weren't explained well might be because of time constraints and I have yet to read the novel/book so I was kinda lost especially on the ending.But genre-wise, it gives off horror/thriller/suspense vibes. Worth a watch! Worthy of a rewatch too~
Joshua Garcia proves that he can't only act in a love team but as an individual entity in a movie. The acting on all the casts is not cringed at all. Also noting the Director is Chito Roño, you can't say anything wasteful in the entire movie.
Also must read the book too after watching the movie as it gives me a lot of questions of How's and Why's T_T

This is a masterpiece!
This may not be everyone's cup of tea also in addition that this is a somewhat political movie due to the occupation of the Japanese army during WW2 but movie is a masterpiece.Trigger Warning: Some scenes in the movie shows violence towards the LGBTQIA+ community, Torture (Physical & Sexual), Rape, and War.
- Acting-wise, everyone did such a splendid job. not to mention the Philippines comedy King Dolphy is the one portraying Walterina Markova. He did such a splendid job. The young Walternina & her friends did a great job too on their characters, I had felt what it was like to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community during those times. I can't dent the fact that being part of the community is such a controversial issue then up to now & also this movie might also have been controversial due to its nature but in my opinion, everyone that has to do with this movie really did a good job~
- The scenes and events were acted & shot great!! yes, it's not perfect but still, the message & the feelings were delivered to me.
- This movie is just purely an art in film.
- The movie was based on actual events told by Walterina herself. You can research the story and some news clipping s on google if you want to know more about her life.
- Will definitely watch this movie again and again if I got time~

Cute but left me confused in everything
All the scenes left me confused...It started cute and nice but my head hurts~~
so all that was just a movie????????? ghad~
- KimCopter is such a sweet pair. We can't deny that.
- Cinematography is nice. Scenes are like when you're in a candy shop. such bright sweet and cute.
- The scenes are just cut and replaced by another scene that seems to be not related and it really made me confused. There are musical scenes & it just made everything worse :(
- Actors especially the MC are such eye candy so if you just wanna kill some time with cute pretty boys go on!
- It seems this series is just produced to give KimCopter fans more of their fanservice & give slots & scenes for the sponsors to be advertised.
- If they only focused on the live streaming platform and buildta story around that without a lot of scenes, It def. will be a better series. But no, everything is all around the place. there's a lot going on. Online influencers, medical practitioners, school, dream, musical, magic & many more.. They could just pick a couple of themes but no they just put everything in there which lead to the series to be more confusing and headache.
- No 3rd party or whatever heavy drama is involved. So if you want a series without those evil characters might as well watch this.
Overall, a very cute and sweet 6-part series. Completed watching it but definitely won't be rewatching this one for sure~~~

If you're looking for a more food-immersive series then you won't regret this!!
If you're looking for a more food-immersive series then you won't regret this!!Yet this series has been on my on-hold series since last year on my 1st MyDramaList account, It is a slow-burning series that can make me hungry most of the time because of the amount of food that they shot 55555+ finally giving it a 2nd chance to finally finish the series since I started to create this 2nd MDL account & to give reviews to drama's I've watched. So if you're not a fan of the slow-burn series better skip this T_T The episodes are so slow that it made me bored. I feel like the scenes are pacing like a turtle just to cover the 45-48minutes per episode time. Even their romance is super slow pace that I thought it was more of a cooking show than a BL series //cries// There are also a lot of add-on scenes that I think weren't really necessary in the series esp. the school scenes, but that's just my opinion 555+, just to make the episodes longer. The cooking scenes were like they are shooting a cooking show, too focused on the food that I had lost focus on the MC T_T
some characters/actors acting are cringe for me on some scenes tho. 😭
ZungMark pairing also has chemistry, it's cute to see them in one frame together~
I never doubted Mark on his acting skills too, boy really can deliver every role he's been given. His eyes show emotions~~
also can I appreciate Chef Aue's tattoo when he's wearing sleveless at home? he didn't look like the cute Chef Aue but a cool seme hahaha
I love Aek's mom too!! such a sweet, understanding and loving mom!!~~
Liked how the scenes are shot so well, the cinematography is superb especially when they're in the kitchen, and how they film the food, It is so mouthwatering that it makes me wanna eat even though I just ate something.
Each frame is a masterpiece even when they're walking is such an eye candy ~~
