Too stupid...

The first 20 episodes were fast paced and full of hype but anything after that was just straight up disappointment one after another. When the truth was confirmed and the revenge started, things got painfully repetitive and boring. I liked the concept but the story never went as I hoped for. The plot twists initially were fine but they had so many twists that it became just plain stupid and a mockery of a story. It was unbelievable how dull Kang In Wook character was, might as well just remove him from the drama.

Love this but one thing I do have to say about it

It is such a good drama I truly love the storyline and how they work together but I wish there was more to it. I loved it so much I need more of this type of storyline. Anyone know of bl stories/shows that are like this one? I truly love it and hope to have more of them together or atleast find a show with a similar plot/storyline.

Cinephiles would love this underrated Korean BL series!

An overflowing chemistry between the actors, a very pleasing cinematography, and the simplicity of a slice-of-life story; this is my cup of tea. Never did I expect to see a BL series, a Korean BL specifically, to deliver such beautiful queer romance that I know most queer kids are looking for. Not only that, but they were also able to showcase a healthy queer relationship that is ideal, and how different queer relationship struggles are compared to straight (heterosexual) relationships. To sum it all up, I just love how great the MLM representation this show has, its beautiful and cool cinematography, and the amazing chemistry between these actors; they are just amazing and natural.

365 easily tops my fav list kdramas all the time. Its genre is totally my get-go and it isn't disappointing at all. It is really great! Better than Japanese version imo. The characters are interesting; detectives, webtoon artist etc. It is way more thrilling and filled with suspense. Even though you probably see whodunnit as the drama progressed, but still it gives us doubts. It gives the viewers big question marks at the end of every episode. It makes us crave for more; we want to know how the reset working, how the characters' fates are entangled.

The casts are splendid. I've always liked Nam Jihyun and Lee Joonhyuk. They deliver unnecessary chemistry on a thriller work which make me wanting their interactions more. The other casts did very well too.

It is great, well-packed and crafted suspense-thriller with time travel concept. With 12 episodes, I definitely rewatch it.

I'll Keep The Review Short!

I hate PAT!
I hate PAT'S faces.
I hate PAT'S acting.
I hate PAT'S personality.
I hate PAT's everything.

I don't care if this BL has a happy ending, sad ending, no ending. just end it. like I literally found myself mad watching this clusterfuck. PAT destroyed this series. remove him and it's watchable. whoever cast him and whoever directed this train wreck & allowed PAT to put forth that garbage and release it to the world should literally be ashamed. criminals should should be forced to watch this series as punishment. I'm sure they'd confess to anything to make it stop. I honestly wouldn't wish this series on anyone. ANYONE, DO YOU HEAR ME! I deserve my life back for the lost time I'll never recover while I watched this nonsense. I'm sure 5 years were taken off of my life after watching this rat shit. I'd rather break bricks with my teeth than to sit through this again.

ugh! I HATE PAT!
that's all. I'm out!

Great chemistry but lost the great story line

It was so good enough in the first half. But kinda boring in the second half.

I can't really point out since when it become kinda draggy, but at the end their chemistry is so great till make me still stay for this one.

If you want to feel some pure love story with a fantasy thing, you should watch this one.

I liked School 2013 as Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin were acted in this drama. Both their acting made me complete the show. Although I was not expecting the story line to be realistic and bromance, the show has ended it well. Hopefully they will have sequel too as the story ended in present only. No harm spending time to watch this drama even though is a little lengthy.

Beautiful, Sweet, the Feels! Three small words to describe this immaculate drama. For 8 - 10/15 minute episodes you would think I was unsatisfied, especially by the title of this review. No, No, No, I want more of the two male leads! These two individuals legit SPOKE VOLUMES with just their eyes, I was overwhelmed and giddy with joy!

Watching these two every week, I was like a kid in the candy store - always coming back for more! The storyline, tells of two men who have grown up together one rich and the other poor but they have a serious friendship/partnership which is developed from a necessity for the bad boy to be protected by his bodyguard (you will know who is who when you watch).

The cast is funny and precious. Even though these were short episodes there was humor, seriousness, happiness, sadness. How can one pack all of these emotions into ONE episode - you'd be surprised. Now stop reading and start watching! <3

Love TBOTDK!

I absolutely adore the cat and dog fight relationship between Ji Chuan (master of swords under heaven) and the "devil" Zhao Qing Feng! So touching how they were actually long lost brothers finally reunited back!!
Brilliantly acted by Zhou Yan Chen and Luo Ming Jie.
A Fu and Xiao Lin were so adorable together! A Fu the mediator between Ji Chuan and her master Qing Feng! Xiao Lin on the side of Ji Chuan! (A Fu played by Su Xiao Tong) (Xiao Lin played by Roy Xie)
Then we get to my absolute favourite character who added the tension and drama: Qing Feng's lost and adopted brother Yan Da Fu (magically brought to life by Song JiYang) who had been abused and mind washed by the sick father figure by always putting him down over Qing Feng and despite all that going on, Yan really loves his adopted brother.
My wish for the show is: Ji Chuan and Yan could have spent more screen time together, getting to know each other and establishing a brotherly bond like Yan had with Qing Feng. Second wish is that Yan didn't get sent to prison for "crimes" he had been forced into. Ji Chuan and Qing Feng could have kept him with them and nurtured their adopted brother with love and compassion. I hate to think what Yan will face in his prison cell....
Over all! I highly recommend this to friends and family!! Love the music, love the acting, love the comedic touches, love the drama building!!

RECOMMENDED DRAMA OF THE YEAR

I was never a fan of traditional-like drama, but this one is an exception!! I love how Han Shuo falls in love with Qianqian and treats her very well. The way he smiles, look at Qianqian is everything we ever asked for!! The acting is so natural. The chemistry that they build was perfectly strong. Tbh, my friend has already spoil the ending for me, but I still cry a lot even though I knew what will happen. I really recommend all of you to watch this drama. The plot is not dragged & smooth as ever. Everyone should give it a shot. They are so cute & so good at acting. The side characters also give really excellent work!! Pls, watch.

One of my all time favourites

All of my friends
know how big of a moon lovers fan
I am. I just love this drama so so
so so much and there are so many
reasons for that as it is sad and you
all know how much I love sad and
tragic dramas.

2nd thing is the actors I mean you
gotta accept the fact that the cast is
amazing consisting lee jong gi, IU,
kang ha neul, ji soo, nam joo hyuk
and many more fabulous actors (
and they all are hot too ). They all
potrayed their characters so well that
I was fascinated by it.

3rd reason is the story of course. I
mean for me story is the main
important thing in any drama. The
story was very well written that in the
first episode it made me laugh out
loud and so they made me connect
with the characters and when I got
enough time to connect with the
character they broke our hearts by
making them suffer a lot.

I won't tell how they suffer as it will be
a spoiler. The characters were well
written. I liked the fact that nobody
was “perfect” as a lot of dramas do.
And the chemistry between the leads
was awesome! From episode 1 till the
last episode I laughed with them, I
cried with the. If it was a sad scene I
would feel bad for them if it was a
happy scene I would feel happy for
them, overall their chemistry was on
another level!

Like they are my favorite couple that’s
for sure. I really liked the female lead
too. Even though many people don’t
like her but I think she was very strong
and had her own very understandable
reasons for doing the things that she
did in the end. If I were in her place i
would have done the same.

Overall the drama holds a very special
place in my heart as it’s the first and
last kdrama that made me cry a lot
and not only me but even my mom.
She cried more than me and she also
loved this drama so if my mom likes
something then it has to be the best.
Period.

Really boring and drawn out.

This was quite boring and I was amazed the thin premise couldn't support even the very short 14 episodes.
That's it, really.
The actors were mostly solid, but they don't have much to do, since nothing happens.
This could've been a movie and I'd watch it, the basic idea is not entirely uninteresting.
But 14 episodes of THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER?
God no, this was dire.

This saved my 2020

This is from the same director and PD of Reply series. If that's not enough reason for you to watch it, then I'll offer you Jeon Mido, Jo Jung Sok, Jung Kyungho, Yoo yeon-seok, and Kim Dae-myung.

Aside from those mentioned above, I think this is one of the series that all of the OSTs are worth listening to every day.

So, watch it. If you're curious why I haven't said anything about the plot, this one, just like the other reply series, is not a typical drama. This is a story that depicts each one of us. Their emotions and struggles are ours too. We deal with it every day.

Plus, this also taught me to be observant in each scenes. Hahaha you'll understand why if you watch this hahaha

Disappointed!

-Neg:

1. I dont liked Teng Mu Ren Facial expression. I wanted him different from his Behave. (Relaxed and little more manly)
2. That Teng Mu Ren ran away from his feelings and met with Xu Shao Fen. (instead of talking to Xiao Li Cheng) I didn't like that.
3. Too few love scenes. I wanted to see a little more wild love scenes of the Two couples.
4. Too few kisses
5. When some love scenes got exciting, the scene was suddenly changed. That really bothered me a lot.
6. Too much talk from episode 9-10 to 20. that could have been reduced.
7. Where Teng and Xu slept together but still had their underpants on. I was disappointed.
8. It was a pity that Xu Shao Fen didn't stay sexy and manly. That suited him best than the childlike behavior.

+Pos:

1. It was funny often. I loved it.
2. The Characters and Couples.
3. The Music

Stunning BL Series Near Perfection

You must suspend your concept of what BL is supposed to be and simply allow yourself to be drawn into this amazing story of love and an intense connection. In some ways, this is a very difficult series to describe and categorize. It is deep yet we are never without understanding them. It is sad without being maudlin. It is fatalistic without being fatal. For me, it shows the truest form of love. They accept each other’s flaws, yet their flaws are what keeps them together and forms the deepest of loves. Perhaps the aphorismus of the characters were not for everyone but the melodic and sensual nature in which they are played draws you in and hooks you (or at least it did for me). Honestly, I did not care about the subplot of the mother as it will be a long and lingering question that may never have resolution. I simply cared about the two protagonists. The softness they brought to their roles and their natural beauty made this short but effective series just a joy to watch. It is a must-see. I have posted my full review of this awesome series on my free blog site at ppbongi.medium.com if you care to comment.
