Slow burn --- almost not worth it

I personally had a difficult time getting through episode one. I was kinda bored with episodes two through four as it is basically a long flashback. Episode five is where it really picked up for me. I enjoyed the prospect of exploring the idea of loving someone's soul, no matter the body it's in. Overall, the show is worth a watch.

I watched the uncut version, but in my opinion it wasn't very NC. There was two or so actual sexual scenes. One seemed awkward with the blankets moving and the other was kinda short as it panned offscreen for the sneeze. It really focuses more on the relationship between the two leads rather their sexual relationship.

First impression

You can watch it on iQIYI: https://www.iq.com/album/your-third-2026-2aoejlaowv9?lang=en_us

So far i'm not the biggest fan of this series, it is alright, but I really expected something more. It is just another comedy series, and I genuinely find it upsetting that they once again give MaxNat a series that is just alright. With a lot of comedic sounds that only make it worse and humor that is not actually funny, unfortunately.

Things I liked:
1. I like that we got PeterFluke as an established couple.

Things I disliked:
1. Another comedy series for MaxNat. I feel sort of disappointed, I really think they deserve a serious and more mature series.
2. The mustache has got to go...

Had to take half a point off.. but hear me out..

I truly enjoyed this show overall.. He Yu was the star of this show.. his character was so endearing and hilarious.. about not giving it a perfect 10.. was because of the writers. If you are going to introduce all these characters.. at least give them proper closure.. don't just end their story abruptly and lazily.. some people just got killed off and some villains weren't punished.. just disappeared off the story.. I also had the same feeling about the ending.. felt like they couldve added another episode to make the transition smoother not just remove things and throw something else at me at the very last minute.. As for the show in general I did enjoy it and I was excited for the next episode every time.. the seriousness of palace schemes was eased with He Yu's shameless antics that cracked me up throughout the show.. The story had so many twists and turns I kept thinking I knew who the villain was and then bam plot twist.. I also liked how eventhough there were so much tension between all the princes.. they all still genuinely cared for eachother and did not intentionally harm one another as in physically if you catch my drift.. As for Meng Ziyi.. I've gotten used to her being this type of cold, stern character every time and honestly l dont see her any other way.. I would rewatch this show and I would recommend it as well.. To those who haven't watched it.. give it a try 💜

Bittersweet

I enjoyed this one and all the warmth and bittersweetness that came with it. It’s beautifully filmed and I really like how purposefully opaque and unreliable the story-telling is.

Compared to the original Chinese movie, this adaptation does seem a little more buttoned-up and less raw, which could be a negative. But on the other hand, I also found it to be much less frustrating — so it turned out to be quite an even trade I guess.

Ultimately, I still liked this one; I’ve been in the middle of the book for quite a while and now I feel more motivation to pick it up again.

I honestly don't know why it's called Love Alert—there wasn't much of an "alert" for me.

Unfortunately, this series felt like another formulaic BL that followed many familiar tropes without offering anything particularly fresh or memorable. While the cast is undeniably good-looking and has on-screen appeal, I felt the performances lacked the emotional depth needed to make the story truly engaging. With more acting experience and training, I believe they have the potential to deliver much stronger performances in future projects.

The biggest issue wasn't just the acting, though. The story itself relied heavily on clichés, making it predictable and difficult to stay invested. It never quite found its own identity or gave viewers a reason to remember it once it ended.

I hope the production team takes this as a learning experience. There's definitely potential here—with a stronger script, better character development, and continued growth from the cast, future projects could be much more impactful.

Overall, Love Alert isn't a terrible watch, but it's also not a series I'd find myself recommending unless you're simply looking for a light, straightforward BL with familiar tropes.

It is an absolute gem and easily deserves a 10/10.i dont get bore the tempo and pace of drama is so good .The acting is outstanding, with every actor and actress delivering emotional and natural performances that make the characters feel real. The storyline is engaging from beginning to end, balancing romance, heartfelt moments, and character growth beautifully. What truly stands out is the incredible chemistry between the leads—it feels effortless, genuine, and keeps you invested in every scene they share. The pacing is excellent, making it impossible to get bored. This is definitely one of those rare dramas that leaves a lasting impression. Overall, it's a 10/10drama with 10/10 chemistryand 10/10 rewatch value. Highly recommended!

Almost…

This drama was pretty good initially, and due to the choppy way the episodes wete presented, there was very little fulfillment in the story line.

It was refreshing to see EY in a role where she was able to showcase her acting abilities instead of being cast as too cutesy and a bit brainless female. She is much better than thise tropes and needs more roles like this. I thought this was s great role for her.

The stories within each episode felt like you were in a time warp for most of them. You saw the beginning, the middle and sometimes the end without any development on how the ending came about.

One small thing for me was the
excessive amount of times the FL’s face ended an episode for several seconds. EU is a beautiful girl, but it was just odd how many and how long the fade to the next episode took.

The kids were great. Getting them away from believing that they were worthless and incapable of big things was the focus of the drama, as it was the same with the adults - which was more their own self talk limiting them. Some had trauma, some abuse, some were patental issues. it just proved the point that despite wealth or social status, everyone has problems everyone faces difficulties and hardships. And, rather than accepting that judgement, you also have a choice to prove them wrong as long as you find the right motivation and support. And, as someone can be those things for you, you, in turn, can be those things for

I just wish that the production company would have spent more time fling the story gaps, giving the ML more screen time (I think he is an excellent actor) and strengthening the story line.

Overall I gave it a 7.5 because despite the oddities I mentioned, I did enjoy the drama.
