Reviews

Sometimes there is more than meets the eye.

This series is difficult and rigorously tragic and despite everything when one believes that things can't go well life gives something to hold on to, a gesture, a moment, a person, a smile, a small glimmer of hope. Emi and Bonnie have such natural chemistry and are able to convey so much from their performance. This story talks about loves that are born, about complex families and unresolved problems and teaches us that it is people, with their actions and their words that mark us and also help us and give us a second chance. The cast is phenomenal, the sets are detailed and the music is perfect!

Everything

I just need everyone to know tarboom are very UNDERRATED, this series was just amazing, very old school, I caught myself laughing so much, definitely comedy. it is not like any other series. They believe in ‘destiny’ . I recommend everyone who hasn’t watched this series to watch it RIGHT NOW. your missing out. I for sure thought they weren’t going to end up together by the end but I was wrong 🫢. I remember strolling on TikTok when I found a slide video talking about underrated series and when I first looked at ‘I will knock you’ I had a feeling I wouldn’t like it but I gave it a chance and I will tell you I’m VERY glad with my choice. I will always talk about this series to everyone. I know this series will top every other series. Super sad they haven’t had another series but if they do I’ll be rooting for them!! :3

Zwischen Fantasie und Realität – und der Suche nach echten Gefühlen

Hinweis: Folgende Zeilen stellen meine persönliche, subjektive Einschätzung der Serie dar.
Der Absolutwert von Liebe handelt von der Schülerin Eui Ju die auf eine Mädchenschule geht. Tagsüber ist sie eher unauffällig, nachts schreibt sie Webromane und zwar im BL Genre. Ihre Geschichten bekommen lange kaum Aufmerksamkeit, bis sich plötzlich alles verändert, als neue Lehrer an die Schule kommen und zur Inspiration werden.
Man sollte nicht mit falschen Erwartungen reingehen – es geht nicht um BL und auch nicht um eine verbotene Lehrer Schüler Beziehung. Die Serie zeigt den Unterschied zwischen dem, was sie sich ausdenkt, und dem, was im echten Leben funktioniert. Ihre BL Stories sind oft idealisiert, während echte Gefühle viel komplizierter sind. Da es sich um eine Coming-of-Age Serie handelt, geht es viel um Gefühle und deren Einordnung. Was ist ein Crush, was ist Projektion, was ist wirklich da? Das wirkt manchmal etwas chaotisch, aber auch lustig und nicht weniger realistisch.
Ich mochte die Hauptcharakterin wirklich gerne. Sie ist ein bisschen awkward, aber auf eine sehr nachvollziehbare und sympathische Art. Auch die Freundesgruppe hat für mich gut funktioniert. Die Dynamik zwischen Eui Ju und ihrer besten Freundin fand ich besonders angenehm, weil es kein unnötiges Drama oder ständiges Herumgestreite gibt, sondern nachvollziehbare Reaktionen.
Die Lehrer sind dafür das komplette Gegenteil von unauffällig. Sie sind bewusst so inszeniert, dass sie herausstechen – und ja, auch einfach sehr hübsch. Der Cast passt hier wirklich gut und man versteht sofort, warum sie für ihre Geschichten zur Inspiration werden.
Insgesamt lebt die Serie aus der Mischung aus Fantasie und Realität. Sie ist von der Erzählweise selbst wie ein Webroman weil man oft nicht so ganz weiß, wohin sich die Story entwickelt.

breathtaking masterpiece

I am very strict when it comes to raiting, but I can’t even find a single bad thing about this show. The cinematography is breathtaking, the plot is very well thought of, thr music is beautiful and has immaculate vibe that perfectly fits to the show. While watching it I have not felt bored even for a second, even tho the episodes are more than an hour long, and I often get bored while watching 40min ones. The acting is amazing too, the show is at times funny and sad. it is just perfect. This series has amazing production and is visibly done with a lot of thought and care. For sure one of the best shows I have ever watched

7110 Call Him Yuki Already!

7110 Call Him Yuki Already!
This is not the first Japanese BL series about actors and film making. But this is the first one which digs deeper into the film making factor. And the knowledge about it makes the plot even more interesting. The acting was decent, the plot was straight forward without any major plot twist and it has a happy ending. There's only a simple plot twist which can already be successfully guessed by the audience at least I did). The main leads developed a great chemistry, although when it comes to the intimate scenes, something was missing. The story was sweet and enjoyable, although there's something that's still bothering me till the end. Why Asami kept calling him Shirasaki-kun, when Yuki already called him by his first name? In my opinion, this is one of the many things that made things a little awkward.

It's both amazing and confusing mess at the same time

When I started this drama I kinda liked it but as the series progressed the show went bland especially a couple of episodes in the middle were soo boring. After a point I just stopped waiting for the next episode.

I do agree with the comments they should have just removed the whole magical wish part and this would have been an amazing slice of life cz that was pretty messily handled. It started off good with both friends wishing and their wish coming true and both of them kinda paid their price for the wish too. Xiang Yong lost his loved ones and Wan Zi lost his peace. Which 2as plausible cz his wish wasn't as bing as Yong. Everything just starts going downhill after this. Like people lost their memories once and then it happens again🙄 okay u wanna erase HXY but why did Hama chan forget Wan Zi🙄🙄 makes no sense. Also why did Yong trading his life to undo his wish also undo wan zi's wish?

I especially hated how this whole wish mess was just the gods messing with people kinda thing and although they said there were rules i couldn't see any. These 2 kids get to undo their wish while the doc who i feel also repented never got to undo the wish. Also the introduction of the new god in the end felt absolutely unnecessary to me. Also everyone's memories being distorted differently in the end was also kinda uncomfortable for me. Instead if they either just removed the whole magic thing or just let him experience a world where their wish came true and then they came back to where they started. That would have been much much better.

The 1st couple have an amazing backstory but then their current timeline's story was barely interesting on the other hand i absolutely loved the 2nd couple A LOT. They did a good job. For a 1 time watch this drama is good but it might be hard to finish it.

We all hope to be seen, we all deserve to be loved.

This series teaches that everyone deserves to be loved, that there are different types of families, bonds, relationships and that the ones worth fighting for are the genuine ones, those that are born from love, trust, friendship, solidarity. Through the characters we understand that there is only one life and there are essential values ​​that bind us, that take us back to the same people or push us to search for new people, new bonds that are worth fighting for, living for, surviving and giving ourselves a second chance.
The music, sets and actors perfectly convey nostalgia, pain, social pressure and the joy of discovering love.

Seriously, the series is a masterpiece, the characters are amazing, the interaction between them is amazing, and Om's acting is 10/10 as usual. Ling is amazing. He's very handsome, and his acting is very beautiful, literally, actually.
I have been enjoying this series for a while now and look forward to watching it every Friday. I'm currently obsessed with the duo. They are my favorite duo now. The series, in terms of story and acting, is very wonderful, and the atmosphere of the series is enjoyable, from sadness to extreme joy. I highly recommend watching the series, you will not regret it. My passion has truly returned. I love Om and Ling very much.

8/10 Kiss You At The Blossom

8/10 Kiss You At The Blossom
This is the first BL Wu Xia series that I've ever watched. If I had to compare its fighting scenes to other Wu Xia series, then I'd say that this series is lacking in that department.
The fighting choreography was not good, especially with the main actor. You can see that he's not really good with martial arts just by looking at his movements. As for the visuals, it's really good. The plot is also very straight forward, it's not hard to follow. The acting was decent, from most actors anyway. Personally, I think that Leslie Li's acting was too stiff. I mean, there's a difference between a tsundere character and a wooden statue. Just because he had to play an icy cold person, doesn't mean he had to be expressionless while getting stabbed in the shoulder. Maybe he needs to take more acting classes.

10/10 Cast and Performance

10/10 Cast and Performance
Only friends is about complex relationship and toxic red flag persons and their personality which leads to the interwined storyline with each other. Plainly the story is good. The screenplay is good. Boston is not the Boston we knew back then. Whatever I am not hyping the storyline. The only thing I want to speak is about the Cast. It is not easy for the actors to express complex roles but actors are really amazing.
EarthMix are such a nice choice to be in the position to lead the show. They are amazing actors. JossGawin has their own story moving in good path until Boston came back. Three of them are also very expressive in the manner it needs to be.
I was amazed by AouBoom. They are fabulous and Fantastic.
Boom's role is not easy. He has to show pressure from his mom, the expectations. He has to declare he likes Jack while having a kind of relationship with Rome, has to fight with Dean. Honestly AouBoom impressed me a more. Aou is doing the serious role. It is his charm. He is showing different personalities from his past roles too.
The actors and their acting are really amazing enough to hook up with the show till the end.

Simply Beautiful

"Dazzling" is the perfect comfort drama—warm, relaxing, uplifting, and full of heart. It is the kind of show that instantly puts you in a good mood and makes you feel at ease.
What I love most is how naturally everything flows between the main leads. Their relationship feels authentic and grounded in reality, without unnecessary drama or exaggerated situations. The chemistry between them is sweet and believable.
The female lead is smart, lovable, and refreshingly down-to-earth. The actress portrays her beautifully, making her easy to root for. I especially appreciate that she is not written as arrogant, spoiled, or overly childish, which is a trope often seen in many dramas.
The male lead is also a breath of fresh air. He is mature, dependable, and determined to build a good future for himself. He is a pillar of strength for his family and fiercely protective of the people he loves, especially the girl he cares about.
I also adore the supporting characters. The friends, the male lead's mother, and his grandmother all add warmth and charm to the story. They feel like real people rather than just background characters.
And the seaside setting is absolutely beautiful. The warm sunlight, the coastal views, and the bright atmosphere give the drama a comforting and peaceful feeling that perfectly matches the story.
Overall, Dazzling is a beautiful slice-of-life drama with lovable characters, natural storytelling, and a heartwarming atmosphere. It is one of those rare shows that makes you smile, relax, and eagerly wait for the next episode. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sensitive moving depiction of young man's struggle for self acceptance and from those around him。

この繊細な映画に深く感動したよう。若い男性が自身のセクシュアリティを受け入れ、「これが僕だ」と周囲の人々に勇敢に告げるまでの葛藤が、リアルに描かれていた💖🌈
very sensitive movie does not suggest any easy answers or easy acceptance。 you must accept yourself first then if others do not accept you move on from them。 this is real。
maybe others will look at life differently themselves if they have open minds。
this movie was made in 2014 so time has moved on and there is some improvement but、 it is still quite difficult in Japan and most other Asian countries compared with Western countries or Taiwan if you are LGBTQ living outside of big cities and suffer prejudice or fear but maybe this is same everywhere with people of closed minds。
I must add for me it has always seemed ironic homophobia only emerged in Japan and China with Western intrusion and imposing foreign ideas of morality after 1850s。before then homosexuality was accepted for two thousand years as normal part of life。
