I'll stay with you from now on, I'll stay with you forever
A lovely little epilogue to the show that helps to really solidify the bonds between the characters and does away with any lingering fears or insecurities they may have still had about forming a permanent family unit together.I was a bit worried by the summary as I absolutely detest the miscommunication trope, but those worries were absolutely unfounded. The characters actions and thoughts are all perfectly reasonable and in character and the "conflict" is resolved very quickly and satisfactorily.
The only thing I can think to criticise is that I personally would have liked to see just a touch more physical closeness between Minoru and Yutaka, just a simple hug or something of the sort, but honestly the deep love and affection between those two is always so palpable that any physical display is hardly necessary.
If you liked the main show and want a quick watch that is guaranteed to make you smile, then give this a watch.

Extra
Yh Okay now many people are saying it is not a must watch but I think different, after all every story deserves an audience. I agree it may be day moving, confusing and maybe a little too much. But when I watched it I was rather moved l, if you happen to be a movie geek like I am you will understand the story and come to love because even though the director does not explain to use some is what is going on, but we will love this series of we all give it a chance. At first I had my doubts but when I told myself you can go on. I did. And I did see why it was titled extraordinary there is an extra kick in there though. I hope others can view it alsoWas this review helpful to you?
Reminds me again of CLOY :)
Highly recommended watch!! It’s got people from all ages- grandmas conversations, town gossip, the divorced couple, the nosy and loud lady, the retired musician/ single father, the pregnant lady and “no-good” husband, the kids... and then you have Hong Du-shik <3<3<3He is such a dream!!! Kim Seon-Ho played his character extremely well!! With his Okay! Cool and Thankiew!!! So adorable ;);) His smile and his dimples will just melt your heart. His chemistry with Shin Min-Ah is off the charts! I know she already has a bf, but on set they look so comfortable and cute together :) Relationship development was done so right! (Spoiler: and I just loved the proposal scene!!! Soooo cute!) Love triangle was also done well and the bromance between the two gentlemen was friendship goals.
I admit I did skip some of the town gossip lol... it was just a tad blah blah... too loud and too naggy hahaha. Towards the end you will have your typical Kdrama cliches- the past is revealed, lots of crying moments, but the ending was done very well, nice closure to it. You will also see Cliche coincidences, just don’t mind it too much.
The one criticism I will give is Shin min-Ah’s dressing on set. It was horrible in my opinion! (Spoiler: especially the green dress she wore for Chief Hong’s birthday! WHAT WAS THAT??? For someone who can afford Dior and expensive shoes, please dress better!!) Most of her dresses looked like grandma’s table cloth (sorry!!!)
A wonderful, feel- good rom-com!! I laughed a lot, cried a lot, and replayed the romance scenes a lot! :) :) :) GO WATCH IT NOW!!

honestly wasnt as bad as what people said
im gnna start this review by saying , i didnt watch tharntype at all so i went into this as fresh as i could ever be HAHAH!! THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION WHICH COULD VERY MUCH DIFFER FROM YOUR OWN SO PLEASE DONT COME AT ME ;-; !!
GOOD POINTS:
- the actors
i've watched a fair amount of bls (esp thai) i felt that the casting for this show was done pretty well ! i really liked the chemistry between ja and first and also between smart and james ! the side characters all played a relatively good job too !
since i've not seen any of these actors prior to this series , and from their mdl profiles they are mostly all newbies ,, i think that they portrayed their roles well ! sure its not perfect and there are some scenes where i think it could have been done abit better but nonetheless not too bad !
- the side couple
smart and james really mmm i loved their chemistry and their side story but i think that the writer could have HANDLED THE DAMN ENDING BETTER FFS DJDNDN ,,,, both are new actors and as i've mentioned i was able to feel their emotions well and i thoroughly cried along with them :(
- their parents ! (excluding fiat's real mom )
okay lemme just say i love leo's parents sndndn especially leo's mom 10/10 love her heheh i'll say its one of the least toxic families and it was cute how their mother was shipping them hehe
oKay so honestly i couldn't really think of any significant bad points for this rn ( its like 3am rn so i'm kinda dead ) but honestly all i can say is that take this show or any bls especially with a grain of salt. don't take it so seriously,,, i mean sure there were parts where i just wanted to murder someone ( cough fiat's real mom ) but other than that i think as long as you don't think too much about what you're watching it should be a fairly enjoyable series !
LASTLY , i'm gonna end this saying , if you're still on the fence on whether you shld watch dsn i say just go for it ! i really don't understand why it's receiving so much hate >< its a pretty okay series for me , not exceptionally good but not TERRIBLY bad either ! coming from someone who hasn't / cannot for the life of me stand tharntype ( i never got past ep 1 :/ ) i can safely say you can watch this if you've never watched tt and i actually liked this more than tt ! i'll suggest watching the bridging eps though ! it'll help you understand some of the stuff they're talking abt !
would i recommend ppl to watch this - YES OFC JUST GO FOR IT BESTIE ! its definitely not as bad as what ppl are commenting for sure -

Eventful
If you've watched S1, then by all means pls watch S2. If you have not seen S1, I would say this season is perhaps more eventfulHot guys and girls. Diff types. Pretty onscreen and som do have chemistry. Theres slightly less camefa hogging where all scrwentime goes to 1female (biggest issue last season)
Editing needs some serious work. Some scenes were rather short and abrupt. Unaired scenes on Scoop should have been aired imo.
Took more than 6-7 episodes to get more depth into the participants. More than half of the seasons episodes were all on appearance, looks, feeble conversations. Not sure was it contestants took a long time to converse in depth or the editing. Only last few episodes finally felt more aubstance to them. They arw then more relatable.
Overall entertaining. I do hope they can hit it off post-inferno.

there is 26 year old man who look more like 30+ man pretending to be a school kid
34+ shin hye sun look so younger then this Ajusshi looking school bully
Bully look like 34 while shin hye sun look like mid 20s
I can understand that you casted a big name like Shin hye sun so you don't have money for big ML actor
but could have casted a guy that look younger then his Age to fit in a student role
SHIN HYE SUN did amazing here 20/10 for her Acting

The second lead romance, you'd think was repetitive, but if you think about how a "soldier's honor" is... it does put allot of weight on the "right decision" and the angst of relationship.
The 16 episodes is just right and I am glad they did continue the story after the volunteering because it wasn't a long term deal so life has to go on.
Plus factor is that Song Joong Ki, is just eye candy and he looked really cool in his army uniform and doing all those action stuff (kinda like Healer).

THE BEST BL OF 2024 !
I honestly had zero expectations going into this series.I had not read the story .This was just another drama that popped up on my Netflix feed.But watching the first episode made it clear that it was not your typical BL.
Yes,similar stories have been done countless times before .
But what makes this special is how they delivered that same story .The story telling in this series is just so unique and beautiful.The actors did the most incredible job in bringing those characters to life in an authentic and relatable manner.
As an audience you feel every emotion that the main leads are feeling. You understand his thoughts and you understand his actions .
The characters Jiang tian and Shen wang have a very special bond between them and we get to witness the whole process of formation of that bond .This show is very realistic in its portayal of love. People may label this as "slow burn " but this showcases how love blossoms in real life.
The soundtrack adds another dimension that captures the essence of each scene and amplifies the emotional impact leaving a lasting impression.
Overall, "the on1y one " is a must-watch and exceeded expectations! The entire production team deserves accolades for creating something truly special. Outstanding acting, directing, and storytelling brought the characters to life in a genuinely captivating way. Don't miss out on this incredible series!

Love Alarm - worth watching?
I did not see this drama in 2019. When I noticed it on Netflix in April 2021 and that it had only 8 episodes, that made me motivated enough because it means I could probably watch the whole thing in 2 days. Not to mention that I have this great interest in teenage love dramas. I’ve already seen Kim So Hyun in other dramas, including River Where The Moon Rises, which was still ongoing. I also saw Song Kang in Navillera, also still ongoing. So I thought, this drama must be a good one since I like both of their acting.I read both good and bad reviews about this drama, but never mind, I’ll just watch it anyway. So in the first episode we are introduced to this cool phone application called Love Alarm, where you get notified if someone within a 10-meter radius likes you. Then we get to know three students, Kim Jojo, Hwang Sun-Oh and Lee Hye-Yeong who goes to the same school, and as you could probably guess, would get caught in a love triangle.
There were so many questions in my mind about the three of them. Jojo seems to have gone through a traumatic childhood, which I never understood exactly, until I got the answer in episode 6 of Season 2. Hye-Yeong as we know is childhood buddy of Sun-Oh, the son of a wealthy politician and beautiful actress. We then understand that Sun-Oh has a dysfunctional family, with self-centered parents who can only care about their public image.
Then we get to know that Hye Yeong’s mother works in their mansion, more like a head housekeeper, and so basically they live in the same house, but different quarters, but not much do we know about the family background (until Season 2)
I have seen some Song Kang’s temper tantrums as Chae-rok in Navillera, where he still remains to be a good boy, but the character Sun-oh in this drama was so unbearable to me. Sun-Oh was a rich, good-looking guy but he was also arrogant, conceited and somewhat bossy, as if the world revolves around him. He was annoyed that Hey-Yeong did not pick him up at the airport when he returned from the US. He also didn’t approve Hye-Yeong working part-time in a restaurant, because he wants Hye-Yeong to spend more time with him.
What I found also really annoying was he even stalked and kissed Jojo, whom he barely knew, and he already knew that she was Hye-Yeong's object of affection. How could you do this to your very best friend? But then again, I thought, this is a teenage romance drama. You do all sorts of stupid stuff when you were young and immature, and this was part of growing up. So I thought this would be the core of the story, a love triangle among Jojo, Sun-Oh and Hye-Yeong.
The script was a bit disappointing though, and sometimes confusing. We keep on seeing the same flashbacks of Jojo’s childhood, but as each episode continues, we still don’t get a grip on what was going on. Jojo’s cousin, Gul-mi (another annoying character) kept on mentioning about what happened in Jeju with her parents, and even threatened to tell people about it. Still we never understood what happened, and surprisingly, I was not that curious.
Anyway, Love Alarm showed the usual ingredients for teenage drama: love triangles, unrequited love, school bullying, family matters, and the ups and downs of friendship. This was illustrated using the usual K-drama formula, but there were more serious issues on the dark side which were touched briefly, such as school bullying, homosexuality (or more likely gay bullying), suicide (and mass suicide), murder and data privacy.
So how would I rate this drama? I think the acting was superb, but the script needed more substance. I don’t even know what it is, but it seemed like it could be done better. I must say I do like the soundtrack songs (some were in English) and might google to find them after this.

With this short duration, this show perfectly lifted my mood of korean bl series for the very first time in 2022. I haven’t felt this great since Bad Buddy ended in January.
From my perspective, all of actors really did their job flawlessly good. Even their side characters were beyond than mediocre.
I didn’t expect much of this series on pilot episode, I even thinking to dropped this series early. But the story look right on more interesting than I expected.
However, there are some things that bugged me and affected me to gave this series only for this rate:
First, I really want to see the connection between his sister (Si Yeong) and his friend (Yun Jeong). Second, Is there any story between Ba Woo and Yun Jeong?. And last, I really wish that they solved their last argument more intense than it was. It really feel easy to me and I believe that conflict was more hurtful than it looks.

I don't know what I was feeling before I started this drama, but I am glad I watched it, it didn't disappoint me EVEN a single percent , some may say it's cliche and some may point out the age gap between the leads (dk y does it even matter till the chemistry is good)but it really doesn't matter. Basically when I watch a drama , not only a good, happy character development journey is expected but a satisfying ending too and I got it so why won't I like it... If you are thinking about giving it a try... I'll say go ahead, I don't think you would regret watching .
P.s the main male lead is honestly sooooooo cute.
❤️❤️

Some cute chemistry and a straightforward short story
What strikes you as soon as you start watching is the sizzling chemistry between the two men. The show is very straightforward about its purpose: showing how the two boys who have been friends for a very long time become overwhelmed with feelings and desire for each other.The casting is perfect, and both the leads have given a wonderful performance. Han Gi Chan shines as Tae Joo with his charming persona. The style of the drama is like other kdramas, aesthetics are great and the colour palette just right.
UPDATE: I somehow found the last two episodes kind of cringey, their acting seemed to lack as they were forced to show more emotions. The kiss wasn't necessary if it wasn't going to be convincing... they could have just added an implicated kiss or a hug.
Either ways, fans of BL will definitely enjoy this short web drama. Well worth 80 minutes of your time!

Same Plot as Chinese version
This show is so similar to like 5 other shows. Obviously it almost exactly follows the Chinese adaptation that came first with a few changes.The plot and story contents is exactly like Itazura na Kiss (Japanese), Playful kiss (Korean), Love at first kiss (Taiwanese movie), Kiss me (Thai).
Honestly I get these shows so confused in my brain because they are all the same and quite predictable. This makes it harder to enjoy if you've seen any of the others.
Casting wise I like the actors and I think they do a good job in their roles. I mean I like Dew and Prim a lot. Dew seems to play similar roles of being more quite and reserved so this role is great for him.
I like that supporting couple has more screen time than in other shows/movies rather than only focusing only on the Main couple which can get a bit boring.
Prim's wig is freaking atrocious like bro please at least give her a visible part to make it look somewhat real.
Some of the plot is kinda weird like how is Dew a top athlete and also going to be the school mascot?
I will wait to see if anything in this show will stand out from the rest.
