não entendi o hype
a história tinha tudo pra ser legal, mas quando eu percebi q eles não iam ter uma passagem de tempo pra construir o romance, foi ficando mt estranho, ela é uma adolescente, pra mim não existe química entre uma adolescente e um adulto, a construção do romance dos dois não foi legal tb, ele só do nada resolve q gosta dela só pq ela é destinada a ele, ela viu a espada e puff “amo ela”, a construção do lado dela te foi só “me disseram a vida inteira q eu tava destinada a vc então te amo?????” pra mim faltou ela amadurecer e realmente amar ele, não por ser destinada, tinha tudo pra construir uma história linda de familia q ela nunca teve, e pra completar ela ainda morre no final????? que série bosta sério mesmo.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

10/10 South Korea stepping up their game!!!
10/10 South Korea stepping up their game!!!OMG!!!!! Where to begin? And what can I say that hasn't been said already? I don't know I just want to talk about it because I need to cry about it somewhere.
This show deserves all the praise and more and I feel tempted to write one of my essays again but l'll refrain. I just NEED to say that Korea is really out there taking the bl genre seriously, finally, with great plots, performances, and chemistry.
"Our Dating Sim", "Unintentional Love Story" and "The Eighth Sense" are all from this year and they're all so good, I've watched them all more than once. None beats this one though.
This is the best bl show of this year so far and I bet it will be unbeatable!
Plot - 10/10 Performance - 10/10 Chemistry - 10/10 Love scenes - 10/10 Photography - 10/10 Directing - 10/10 OST - OMG BEST EVER!! There's not one song, instrumental or not that doesn't fit perfectly in every scene, and I'm literally obsessed with it.
I just can't say it's the best bl of all time because I'm emotionally attached to "Semantic Error" and can't move on, but this one is a very close second.
Watch it. Watch it again. Give it the love it deserves!
Did I just write another essay? Aish I'm sorry

Un viaggio bello e brutale allo stesso tempo
Drama BL giapponese tratto dall'omonimo manga con la Yakuza che fa da sfondo alla vicenda narrata: Kataoka Kinji, giovane boss carismatico e impulsivo, amato dai suoi uomini ma considerato un ostacolo nella lotta per la successione dal figlio del capo, viene mandato a nascondersi dopo lo scontro con una gang rivale e affidato alle cure di Odajima Ren, un membro stoico ed enigmatico del clan incaricato di guidarlo, proteggerlo e... Ucciderlo.Otto rapidi episodi che fanno pensare a un road movie noir, dove la tensione tra dovere e devozione si fa palpabile. Il viaggio dei due si satura di lunghi silenzi che nascondono dubbi e domande che non dovrebbero osare porsi.
A livello del cast, ottima prova di recitazione di ambedue gli attori protagonisti: hanno saputo rendere credibile ogni sfumatura che caratterizza il proprio personaggio.
Il Kataoka di Wada Masanari è una ventata d’aria fresca nel panorama dei boss della Yakuza: lontano dal classico uomo cupo e distante, sorprende con battute irriverenti, un'aria spensierata e un sorriso malizioso che nasconde però un uomo che cerca di mantenere viva la propria umanità in un mondo che punisce la gentilezza, consapevole del tradimento che lo circonda ma caparbiamente deciso a non ripagare la crudeltà con il sospetto. È un personaggio complesso, che passa dalla spavalderia alla fragilità con una naturalezza impressionante.
L’Odajima di Takahashi Hiroto è un giovane uomo che a prima vista risulta freddo e distaccato, quando invece è semplicemente stanco: stanco di uccidere, di sopravvivere, di esistere. Conta un tragico passato alle spalle e, a tenerlo poi in vita, per anni, c’è stato solo il desiderio di vendetta proprio nei confronti di Kakatoa, al quale erroneamente attribuisce la responsabilità della morte di un suo caro amico.
Il dilemma che affliggerà Odajima durante il viaggio è un po’ il fulcro centrale del drama: sarà infatti combattuto tra il senso di lealtà nei confronti dell’amico scomparso, e il tradimento nei confronti di Kakatoa, che si fa però via via sempre più impossibile da mettere in pratica, nonostante i sensi di colpa. Pur senza dare voce ai suoi pensieri trasmette perfettamente l’interrogativo che lo turba: lo vuole davvero uccidere o lo vuole per sé?
La sceneggiatura e la regia sembrano giocare abilmente su questa dualità, dove Odajima si ritrova messo a nudo – in senso fisico e psicologico – proprio nei confronti di chi deve eliminare. Le scene intime sono dosate con equilibrio e pur essendo abbastanza esplicite non scadono mai nella volgarità. A queste si alternano in modo quasi complementare scene di rara delicatezza, come quando Kakatoa si prende cura dell’uccellino ferito. La violenza dei pestaggi inquadrati da una luce sporca riesce sorprendentemente a coesistere con qualcosa di incredibilmente umano e sincero.
Pur con la comunicazione ridotta all’osso che caratterizza le produzioni giapponesi è evidente l’evoluzione del rapporto tra i due, nato dalla coercizione – la prima parte della loro relazione è sicuramente sbilanciata e tossica, pur paradossalmente in linea con il contesto malavitoso e violento nel quale si sviluppa - ma gradualmente si trasforma in qualcosa di più sano e autentico. Se vogliamo trovare una pecca, con qualche episodio in più – o una maggior durata degli stessi – il passaggio di Odajima dall’odio viscerale all’amore assoluto sarebbe stato indubbiamente più fluido. Avrebbe giovato un maggior investimento in termini di interazioni silenziose, chimica inespressa e conflitti interiori mentre i flashback ripetuti, per quanto necessari a comprendere a pieno il personaggio di Odajima, hanno sottratto ulteriormente tempo allo sviluppo della vicenda nel presente.
Nonostante i difetti resta però un drama audace e con una profonda componente emotiva, dove la storia d’amore cela una riflessione sul dolore, sulla redenzione e la possibilità di trovare un po' di calore in un mondo ostile, dove due anime segnate dalla violenza possono imparare a guarirsi a vicenda.
Consigliato a chi cerca una BL matura e di significato. Non è una storia per tutti, ma per chi saprà apprezzarla, sarà un viaggio che vale sicuramente la pena fare.

10/10 Recommended bl series
10/10 Recommend BL series!The show offers anthology from different kind of modern BL romance. The first season is kind of cheesy and cliche, but trust me it gets better in S2 (if you like, skip S1 and go directly to S2) because each season has its own individual stories, so you can watch from any of them. The acting is a lot better in other seasons too and the chemistry between the characters. I did enjoy the episodes in first season too.
I highly recommend the second season's History: Crossing the Line. It's great love story where the jock Xia Yu Hao falls in love with Qui Zi Xuan a volleyball leader. The characters are very different but that way complete each other, which makes them great together. It's wonderful to see how Yu Hao falls for him, and eventually so does Zi Xuan. It's a great modern love story with also funny side characters. Totally worth the watch, need more seasons of them!
History3: Trapped has to be one of my ultimate tops. It's where police Meng Shao Feng falls in love with gang member Tang Yi with tragic past, having made mistakes for right reasons. The plot itself is very well written and interesting to keep you going with plot twist you don't see coming. It's great character chemistry from the start and Tang Yi's character development is incredible to the ending where I couldn't stop crying. I loved their "cat & mouse" game in the beginning and seeing how they grow from enemies to "half friends", friends and boyfriends. It has to be one of the best BL stories I have seen, and will be watching again.

After watching this, I'll be a lot more careful about what I wish for?
Just completed watching this one and honestly, I'm so glad I randomly stumbled upon it while looking for my next watch. The concept immediately caught my attention, and since I've always had a soft spot for Taiwanese BLs, I decided to give it a try. Safe to say, I don't regret it at all.What drew me in the most was how unique and fun the premise was. I'm exactly the kind of person who stays awake at 3 a.m. thinking about random "what if" scenarios, so a story revolving around wishes and shooting stars was right up my alley 🫣✨
In fact, after watching this series, I'm pretty sure I'll be a lot more careful about what I wish for 🥹
Going into it, I expected a light fantasy romance and nothing more. The concept felt playful, so I definitely wasn't prepared for any real angst. That's why when the story started dropping hints about what was actually happening, I literally had to pause and scream, "WHATTT???" 😭 I genuinely could not believe it. The shift caught me completely off guard and made me even more invested in the story.
What surprised me even more was the ending. I was convinced they were heading toward a typical cliché conclusion, but they ended up taking a different route, and I really appreciated that. It wasn't perfect. The ending did feel a bit rushed. But at this point, rushed endings are almost a trademark of Taiwanese BLs, so I've learned to make peace with it 😅
One thing I absolutely have to praise is the directing, especially in the final episode. There was something about the way those last scenes were shot that just elevated everything. Even if the ending felt a little rushed, the directing made it memorable, and honestly, the last episode ended up being my favorite because of it 🤌🔥
Overall, Wishing Upon The Shooting Star was a pleasant surprise. It starts off as a fun fantasy story, throws in emotions you don't see coming, and leaves you thinking long after it's over.
If you're into fantasy dramas and want something a little different, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a chance ❤️

A second watch review
The series is just as good as I remember so I've kept the score the same. Although there are plenty of crime series out there, this one shines for multiple reasons:-- The lineup of actors are fantastic and they all mesh really well together. The bonds between the group is weighed heavy but this is also why it feels real.
-- Although the series revolves mostly around the mystery of a violent crime, almost each episode just slowly peels off one layer of the unknown at a time with great pacing.
-- There are many times I really want to reach into the screen to grab the arrogant and young male lead... and just shake him really hard. His actions and mentality were so irking but you will eventually empathize with him as his past unravels and as he learns to face himself.
-- Although the situations feel quite depressing at times as you are introduced to many individuals with some heavy and complex trauma that they live with, it also manages to create a nice wrapping of warmth. Our "darker" male lead will also give you quite a few laughs just because of who he is.
-- Although a tad gruesome at times maybe for some, there isn't an over-dramatization of crime scenes. It isn't one of those that tries to play CSI but it still respects common sense. I really appreciate this actually. It didn't need any of the unnecessary addition for it to be intriguing.
My only nits are that they sometimes repeat flashback scenes a little too much but this is probably needed if you aren't binge-watching. And as mentioned above, the young lead just irks you quite often with his personality for quite some episodes but also as mentioned, he does make up for it well. Highly recommended for those who enjoy crime dramas without all the showy aspects. Even at a second watch, I still didn't feel the need to speed up any of the episodes.

Si vous voulez rire, regardez.
Honnêtement, si je n’avais pas payé ma place de cinéma, je pense que je serais clairement partie au bout de 15 minutes de film.L’histoire en elle-même avait un sens et, si on avait suivi le fil conducteur, ça aurait pu être assez cool et émouvant… Seulement, c’était ridicule.
Entre les personnages qui se prennent 20 coups de couteau sans jamais mourir, les enfants qui se font frapper et transpercer la jambe par une flèche sans montrer aucun signe de douleur, ou encore le gars qui se prend 10 coups de marteau dans le crâne sans mourir pour réapparaître à la fin du film, ce film était inutile.
Certains combats étaient assez cool et bien construits, mais pour la majorité, on aurait dit une danse répétée. Trop de sang là où il n’en faut pas, et pas assez quand, justement, il en faut.
Sans parler des scènes absurdes où les personnages deviennent subitement fous, à arracher le doigt de l’un ou à mordre un autre au cou… Et ne parlons même pas des musiques de fond qui n’ont rien à voir avec les scènes en question.
J’ai encore beaucoup de choses à dire, mais je vais m’arrêter là.
Le fin mot de cette critique, c’est que je ne recommande ce film si vous voulez rire de l’absurdité des scènes (certaines étaient hilarantes😌).
