Where’s the rest?

Nozue an overworked man and Togawa a younger subordinate end up visiting a dessert shops together filled with girls as an anti aging « treatment ».

It’s a cute drama that feels natural. The age gap between the characters doesn’t feel weird or predatory and was handled well. Nozue even if you’re old you can have interests and try new things. Togawa is a serious but sweet and also a little freak, thank god. I was taken aback by THAT line. I love the scenes of them eating « girly » food, food is also my love language.

It’s problem is that it’s short, 5 episodes is a short movie (less than 2 hours total), we don’t see them actually together. At least they kiss but I seriously sound like a broken record and that special pissed me off it was like 5 minutes.

Gave me my first panic attack

Black and White are twins separated during their parents divorce and they have a twin thing. Black gets badly beat and White decides to take his place in the gang and disguises himself to find and get revenge on the people that beat Black.

I love a character with a secret. The plot is really strong, isn’t cliche and not that much about romance so doesn’t feel like a typical BL, romance isn’t the main focus. It’s about corruption and oppression by the upper class and government and talks about class disparity. Which makes the product placement when talking about these topics feel out of place…. Its one of the few bl that passes the bechdal test LOL. I watched 4 episodes and had a nocturnal panic attack…. 10/10

When you got one sided beef

Enemies to lovers at school with GeminiFourth oh I was seated. This show deals more with complicated dynamics of these kids and fleshes the other characters a lot. But the other couples are still underdeveloped which is so disappointing, why is this a trend in Thai BLs. It’s actually really funny i found myself laughing and I don’t typically laugh at BLs. I love the chemistry the tension the flirting and genuinely how supportive they are. This show focuses heavily on music with is its biggest flaw. We get so much music that it feels like a musical and it’s not done well. When the mother and friends start to sing and the other characters can’t hear then it’s so out of place. Why not make actual live music instead of overprocessed with no real instruments especially when the whole series is based around LIVE music!!!

It exists

As a remake I was excited to see how they would adapt it. But it just made me crave more from the Japanese version which is a bad thing. The longer episode lengths do nothing but add filler and boring moments instead of adapting more of the manga. I don’t recommend this if you’ve seen the Japanese version or only watch Episodes 8-12 (these actually have new story which is nice to see). I was so excited but it was disappointing with music that plays constantly and cringy sound effects every second. GeminiFourth deserve better than this show. At its core it’s still an alright show but the editing and pacing make it an awful show.

For someone that doesn't really like "friends to lovers", I was quite sceptical about watching this at first but something about the acting, the story and just that overall vibe of 2010s kdramas really made me hooked. I'm pretty sure I binged most of the drama in one go (exams came up in the middle) and the ending was amazing as well.
I don't normally watch too many "old" dramas like this one so maybe it's just something relatively new to me but I really liked the fact that all of the characters feel like regular people just getting through life and I understand that's the whole premise of the show but I think they really hit the nail on the head with this one. Lots of dramas nowadays have at least one main character that's super rich, lives in a huge mansion or really expensive penthouse apartment but seeing all the characters in 'Fight For My Way' living in normal-looking apartments felt quite fresh to me.
The acting felt really raw as well to me, in the emotional scenes, it really did feel like Kim Ji Won and Park Seo Jun were friends for 20 years and just talking about their own feelings.
Normally I really like the second couples, just as much as the main couple or sometimes even more, but these ones were fine, I like that the girl was able to become more independent but I don't know, something about their resolution didn't feel complete. To me however, that part was so insignificant that this drama is close to perfect for me.

I loved it, all of you should watch it as well! :)

Sweet, Funny… Until the Final Episode Stumbles

I loved Sold Out on You right from ep 1. The drama was funny, cute, emotional, and gave me that comforting K-drama feeling I had been missing for a while. There were moments where I laughed, cried, giggled, cringed, and just genuinely enjoyed watching every episode. Some scenes didn't make sense but honestly I wasn't expecting logic from this one. so I didn't mind much.

Episode 1-11:
this drama was honestly a solid 9/10 for me. The chemistry between the leads was okayish, but the overall sweetness of the show carried it. The sleepwalking and trauma-related scenes were emotional, and the comedy worked really well. One thing that irritated me though was Ye Jin’s behavior toward her father. After everything he did for her, she kept acting cold instead of trusting him, even though his actions clearly came from love and care.

Episode 12:
is where the drama lost me for a bit. The first half of the finale felt messy and some scenes were genuinely nonsensical like the fight at mushroom farm. Chango’s suicide attempt scene was supposed to be emotional, but it mostly just frustrated me. The drama went from feeling like a 10/10 to a 7/10.

Thankfully, the second half of the finale got back on track. Ye Jin reuniting with her mother wasn’t emotional for me because I was still annoyed that she only understood her father after hearing the truth from the mother, instead of trusting the father who had always been kind to her.

But the final scene completely saved the ending for me. When Mechoori quoted, “Modern science still hasn’t discovered a better stabilizer than kind words,” and they started showing every character saying kind words while credits appeared in the subtitles… it was genuinely such a sweet and touching moment. That scene alone raised the drama back up to an 8.5/10 for me.

Overall, except for the messy first half of the final episode, I really enjoyed this drama a lot.

p.s. if not for that quote and scenes after that I would've rated it 7.5/10

Misunderstandings 101

Aoki has a crush on Hashimoto, he borrows her eraser and it has Ida’s name on it. Ida sees it and thinks Aoki has a crush on him.

I also really like the setting, high school, it makes everything sweeter I feel. I love misunderstandings in shows and characters lying and then it bites them in the ass. I love the bisexual representation with Aoki, I just love bisexuals. The second couple and the side characters are also a treat and we spend the perfect amount of time on them.

Why isn’t it perfect, it’s too short, this series needs a season 2 badly (never happening) because it feels like it ends abruptly. Again we don’t see them together and they don’t kiss, WHYYYY. Its not as bad as some series because the second couple also doesn’t kiss but it feels like it’s building up to one the whole show. The worst thing is that there’s so much of the manga that’s unadapted…. Also there’s implied pedophilia with a girl into an old man, nasty to me.

villian and innocent fml

i blindly watched without reading reviews, because rating was 8 after 4 finally understood what is going to be the end

ml is same as some villian from historical era who kills people without thinking, or doesn't care about anyone
he orders to kill people, does animal hunting, and also was going to cut hands of 2 people which FML stopped
he isn't nice or different to her she was in prison all time only later became chef
and there's drunk kiss scene already at 4 seriously?

just what happened to kdrama? these stories are getting a kdrama ?

all they show is cooking that's it , no romance how can you expect romance between villian killer and innocent girl?

plot was good but this can't be a romance genre ? FML is basically kidnapped and salvery ,if she doesn't obey she will be killed

Give this drama a try

No proper promotions. Just a teaser trailer and few people are waiting. In this season of good k-dramas airing, I chose this. I'm happy that I did because it doesn't feel heavy when I'm tuning in every week. I don't get why people are dropping this, it was pretty obvious that this is a healing and wholesome drama ,they expect shocking plots. I could not relate because goodness I am enjoying this. I was abit scared for episode 12 since its always rushed but thank God it wasn't. It was enough to close all plots. In a few years, people would recommend this drama and call it criminally underrated.

I’ll have whatever the script writers were smoking…

Great fun and extremely funny (I love how the parents never say anything but whenever they’re in a scene they’re eating!).

Cleverly written and I love how this parodies other BL stories - every male is gay (except the dad) and every female squeals a lot and goes completely nuts for BL shipping. The tall boy/men are tops and the short ones are bottoms and look about 12. There’s any excuse for a cheesy pick up scenarios - from a bad boy shoulder checking a cute little effeminate boy and within seconds the two are giving each other googoo eyes to a lovers’ spat caused by jealousy that morphs into passionate declarations of love. Hilarious.

Very short but very sweet.

Would I watch again? No, but will be checking out the other three series at some point

Balancing Chaotic Comedy and Serious Storytelling

The series succeeds because it fully embraces its identity as a romantic comedy while still knowing exactly when to become emotionally serious. What makes it stand out is how naturally it switches between absurd comedy, emotional drama, romance, and even heavier themes without completely losing its tone. Many scenes that could easily feel awkward or overly exaggerated somehow still work because the chemistry between the leads keeps the emotional core believable and charming throughout the entire series.

The relationship development between Si and Klao is especially enjoyable because it gradually evolves from pure comedic chaos into something emotionally sincere and surprisingly mature. The series also deserves credit for handling certain relationship conflicts and uncomfortable situations more openly and thoughtfully than many other GL dramas do. Combined with strong production quality, entertaining pacing, and genuinely funny comedy, the show remains consistently engaging from beginning to end.

At the same time, the series is not without flaws. Some plot developments rely on convenient or cliché storytelling, certain character developments happen too quickly, and the antagonist never becomes particularly complex or interesting. The portrayal of farm life remains very superficial despite being such an important part of the setting.

Still, despite these weaknesses, the series delivers exactly what it wants to be: a funny, emotional, warm, and highly entertaining romantic comedy with strong chemistry, memorable emotional moments, and a surprisingly good balance between humor and serious storytelling.

A Good Palette Cleanser

this show is the perfect palette cleanser when you want to recover your brain cells after a bad drama. it’s not exactly deep or groundbreaking, but it completely keeps your attention. the pacing is good, the setting is nice and the visual effects for the application are really fun and colorful.

the acting from the male cast was just completely elite. i desperately went into this show wanting mi-rae to end up with seo kang-joon because of all the edits i saw. but oh my god, i officially fell in love with seo in-guk instead. his micro-expressions are insane, and during his confession and the finale when he cried, i literally cried with him bcs kyeong-nam is just the ultimate best boy. i loved seeing his pov and the way he comforted mi-rae when she was so afraid of getting hurt again was just so adorable. this show did a great job of showing a lot of complexities in love without making it exaggerated.

not to shade jisoo bcs i love her but she definitely got outshined by her male leads. she was okay, but being paired up with such heavy professional actors just made her look a bit weaker this time.

but the plot is where it completely falls apart bcs of the absolute waste of the sci-fi setting. in a world where ai is literally taking over everything, this show had a perfect opportunity to deliver a deep message about why real human connection is superior. kyeong-nam was willing to repatch things with mi-rae bcs he realised he was better for her because he was real and he cared. but the ending totally copped out. look at the author yun song. she just keeps using the app, gaslighting herself into a fake relationship, and literally turning against actual humans who tell her it's bad. it felt so shallow and annoying. i wish she had just given the machine away, learned to love herself, and found real love like ji-yeon sort of did—though even ji-yeon’s ending with min lacked any real depth. if a vr app like boyfriend on demand existed in real life, the world would literally go haywire and destroy itself, so treating it like a harmless, consequence-free lifestyle choice at the end just felt lazy and simple.

its a solid 8.7/10 for the romance and the male leads, but an 8/10 overall because of the shallow plot.
