A really sweet and beautifully made series!

The acting was excellent, and the casting was spot on. The story was interpreted so naturally, with the characters feeling genuine and believable throughout. I especially appreciated how faithful the series stayed to the original Manhwa—the adaptation captured the heart and charm of the story really well.

The costumes and interiors were also lovely and added a lot to the overall atmosphere without ever feeling excessive. Everything was visually pleasing and thoughtfully done.

It’s an easy-going, pleasant watch with a sweet story, good chemistry between the characters and just the right amount of romance. Nothing overly complicated—just a lovely story told nicely and with a lot of charm.

Definitely recommended if you're looking for something sweet, gentle and enjoyable to watch.

Great Series Despite some Flaws

My rating is 9/10

Review

Can This Love Be Translated? is a very good romance with a unique twist on a mental health aspect. It is well acted, tugs at your emotions, and has a satisfying end. There is a lot of chemistry between the leads, and the pace of the love story is believable. Many other reviewer also highlighted the natural, strong chemistry between Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung as one of the show’s biggest strengths, noting how it elevates the emotional core. I would recommend this one, might watch it again in the future, and do not think there are any major flaws that would lessen enjoyment. The performances, especially Go Youn-jung’s dual work, and the overall emotional payoff keep it highly rewatchable for fans of thoughtful, heartfelt romances.

For a series about translating, it was pretty amazing when there were whole scenes of dialogue between Joo Ho-jin (main guy) and Cha Mu-hee (main girl) where their conversation did not lead to the conclusion they drew. Like they had this discussion at one point and it was like “oh we’re together now,” and I was like how did they get that out of what they just said?And there was a time he broke up with her because of something she said, but myself and my daughter watching with me had no idea what she had said that upset him so much. And it wasn't just he didn't get that damaged side of her it was really just the words they said to each other did not add up to what they both took away from it. Some other viewers have also noted the frequent misunderstandings and “lost in translation” moments as both a thematic strength and occasional source of frustration in the pacing.

This is definitely a “she fell first but he fell hard” story. Mu-hee was lazer focused on Ho-jin from very early on. Even when he was somewhat mean to her to drive her away. But, once Joo Ho-jin understood Cha Mu-hee and decided he liked her, he was completely all in.

The other thing I really did not like was the 2nd romance. It made absolutely no sense. The first time we really see them together it was as if they had interacted before, so their sudden liking of each other was confusing. It didn't help that I never liked that 2nd female character (Shin Ji-seon). The way she played the two brothers’ hearts. The way she rejected the older brother because of what seemed like one conversation she didn’t like where he did not seem that excited about the wedding. I thought her relationship with Cha Mu-hee (main girl)’s manager (Kim Yong-woo) was way too soon. He was essentially a rebound relationship. And what did he see in her? I never understood it. A number of other reviewers have similarly found the secondary couple underdeveloped or sudden, with some feeling it lacked organic buildup compared to the main pairing, while a few appreciated it as a lighter contrast. But me and my daughter who watched with me - just did not have any positive feeling for that 2nd couple. I felt irritated every time they got screen time.

Speaking of Kim Yong-woo, he was surprisingly unmanager-like. He basically left Cha Mu-hee (main girl) to her own devices most of the time. He was a parachute hire—basically got the position because he was part of the family that owned the management company. So he wasn't a seasoned manager but even just by observing other managers around him (like Hiro Kurosawa’s manager), he should have been more hands-on.

It was a huge surprise that this wound up being a little about multiple personality disorder (I know they don’t call it that anymore, but that is what I learned when I had my psychology training). But I seriously did not like it when that character wound up being her mother. Who supposedly looked identical to her. It made more sense it was something she created to deal with the trauma. Since the other personalities are typically versions of the person with the disorder they would naturally envision versions of themself. It did not have to be some osutside character. And why have her parents live? That was a weird writing choice. They lived but her father never wanted to see her and her mother went somewhere and the father knows despite the fact she tried to kill him. And then Cha Mu-hee (main girl) goes and sees her. Why? Who would go see a mother who tried to poison them? And we don’t even get to know what happened in that interaction—she is just back. Many reviewers have mixed feelings on the Do Ra-mi reveal and the trauma backstory. Some praised Go Youn-jung’s powerful dual performance and the mental-health exploration as a clever, accessible device, while others found the late pivot to some weird connection with her mother illogal. I found it jarring, abrupt, and tonally inconsistent with how that character was built earlier on. That said, Cha Mu-hee (main girl) showed huge growth. Integrating her second personality on her own was impressive—something that usually takes intense psychological help from someone experienced with dissociative disorders.

The Aunt and Uncle were just horrible, and I was glad Joo Ho-jin (main guy) called them out for their treatment of her. It was like all the blame for the incident was placed on the innocent child. The parents just went off and did their thing and the child was treated like she had done something wrong.

I liked Hiro Kurosawa. In the beginning he was just straight-up mean—the balloon thing was a cruel trick, and she hadn’t done anything to him to deserve it. Of all the characters, he seemed to have the most emotional growth. I would have been okay if Cha Mu-hee (main girl) wound up with him, although it made sense she wound up with Joo Ho-jin (main guy). Joo Ho-jin (main guy) knew all about her and accepted her anyway. But Hiro was part of what gave Mu-hee more confidence.

I like the way Ho-jin talked to Do Ra-mi like a separate person after he figured out what was going on. He credited Do Ra-mi with helping him understand Mu-hee to the extent he said “since we are going to break up anyway.” But, because of that, it made the seperation trope disappointing and the fact that there wasn’t something more permanent for them in the end.

I liked that Mu-hee was the bridge between Ho-jin and his mother. It reflected how much she loved and understood him that she was able to mend that relationship.

But what was it in this show with older women and younger men? His mother with the younger guy and then the 2nd romance was an older woman and a younger guy. Were they trying to scratch some cougar itch fantasy? I think age-gap romances in that direction rarely work. I think it is hard for most women not to see younger men as son-like. I don’t know. You just don’t see it a lot but it was a lot in this series. It felt really unnecessary and the fact that it was two couples in the show was a bit strange. Like they were trying to make a point.

I loved the Do Ra-mi character. The zombie movie she was in looked like a show that would be an enjoyable watch. Loved that Hiro Kurosawa nicknamed her zombie. It was like he saw that part of her that was Do Ra-mi. His ego was definitely taken down some notches and he became more likable from his interactings with Do Ra-mi blended with Mu-hee. That is what was interesting. Usually around him she was a blend and never fully one or the other.

Loved that it seems Hiro and Mu-hee remained friends. And thought that was really cute. Because he fell in love with her despite the language barrier. Other reviewers have also frequently praised Do Ra-mi as a standout—calling Go Youn-jung’s portrayal electric, chaotic, and scene-stealing—and appreciated Hiro’s growth into a genuine friend rather than just a rival.

One thing that felt underdeveloped was the reality show they were filming. It didn’t act a whole lot like either of them were big stars, even though they both were. I also felt we didn’t get any real emotional payout regarding her career. Did the reality show elevate Cha Mu-hee (main girl)’s career? Did it help break the zombie stereotype and open up other roles for her? We see Hiro Kurosawa extending into an action role, but nothing really about her progression.

Even with these flaws it remains, overall, a strong, emotionally rich watch that sticks with you. It gave me serious "Heal Me, Kill Me" vibes and I loved that show too.

remember: seeking equality is oppression to the powers that be.

real quick shout out to pond and eed. pond was the breakout in this and i laughed every time he was visible. his acting was a ten out of ten. he sold his role completely. eed, aka the grandma, was the MVP of this entire series. her wisdom made me cry multiple times. she was a beautiful person. if people like her existed in 1930, they were visionaries.

this BL is difficult for me to get through. i have experienced an array of emotions watching it because of the messages within it. realistically, with the way i binge, i should have finished this yesterday. however, vasin and the dynamics around the leads because of the change of power have made it hard to continuously watch. this review is more of a critique of the character's themselves and the content; not the actors, production, or otherwise.

i can see the reflections of the world, like most may be able to, in this piece of work. this made me think that world needs a collective revolution against the elite of the world. i live in a "developed" country that is suffering immensely because of those at the helm. i wish i alone could invoke change and rid of class but it will never be that simple. anyway, i love that this drama has a real thought-provoking plotline. i hope it opens up the eyes of the mentally enslaved. i hope it inspires others like it did me.

i know it is not fault of the brainwashed and uneducated characters in this. the royals are fully responsible for roles that were. the royals were responsible for the lack of education amongst the collective population. the royals were responsible for the wealth disparity. however, characters like nual and ueam really set me off. nual, in particular, had scenes that were immensely difficult for me to get through. the indoctrination in her ran so deep, she prioritized the well-being and considerations of the royals well over her own offspring. she was fortunate in that she had a free-thinker staring her dead in the face on a consistent basis yet she still could not break free from the enslaved mindset. it was so infuriating watch her speak to phob like he was an object but be tender to the royals who did not even grant her a formal education. she blamed phob for the revolt as if it would not have happened with or without his intervention. she berated him for wishing better for himself, HER, and the rest of the country and not settling for scraps. she physically abused him for standing on the side of the working class. i felt so much internal pain watching her scenes.

the main royals, including the MVP, all felt wronged by the revolutionaries but by phob, in particular. they and nual constantly referenced all the "good" they did for him which was not even the bare scrapping minimum. good deeds are not conditional or contingent on sightless allegiance. that is one indicator that their picturesque treatment of their servants, in the beginning, was just a false face. it was upsetting seeing phob act as though tinn was a victim of anything other than betrayal through deception. what phob did to tinn to obtain information was a serious personal offense. however, tinn was not a victim of suddenly becoming a commoner / having his life upended. the royals were lucky the lot of them were not imprisoned indefinitely considered the claims made. tinn lived in a bubble he opened and walked in and out of regularly. there were starving people literally eating on the ground in a lot behind a government building and he was privy to that information. tinn had way more power than he used when it came to both the countrymen and his relationship with phob.

vasin pissed me off badly. i hated his character so much that i had to pause every time he spoke; similarly to my experience with nual. his character was perpetually spewing anger and verbal abuse [with the occasional physical abuse] that it triggered me. their faces even triggered me as a viewer. he is a perfect example of an elitist who sees an equitable distribution of wealth and power to all as oppression. he deserved to be imprisoned immediately, in my opinion. he was described, by tinn, as a man who was devoted to his family. where was the evidence of that? he hated chat since he could not be or do what he wanted. he garnered and maintained full control of tinn for years, making him the golden child. his sons were nothing but objects to assert his will. when they wanted to exist as individuals, the abuse came. he was a homophobic, short-sighted, imbecile who became deranged in his hatred toward phob. he, like nual, are terrible parents undeserving of the children they had.

the chemistry between inn and ongsa was a ten out of ten. their intimacy in this was stellar apart from the sex [?] scenes. i imagine they were done the way they were to protect ongsa. i think ongsa needs to work on his crying. otherwise, everyone's acting was good. pond's acting, however, was exemplary.

i noticed some goofs but the plotline was enough to override those mistakes. the singer on the main soundtrack is the first thai artist to wow me in terms of vocals. edited to add: i have now completed this and yeah no. whoever decided the direction and execution of the siege needs to be slapped. it was so poorly done, i LAUGHED at the bombings and shootings. it felt randomly thrown together. civilians were just being shot at and bombed out of nowhere. one side or the other would just be shooting into the blank distance. was that supposed to be convincing? i noticed a very notable editing glitch that was multiple seconds long. all the other period related errors were easy to ignore but then the execution of the insurrection made me backtrack. basically, the last episode tarnished the rest of BL but i will not lower the rating too much.

in conclusion, edge of horizon was a riveting watch. i cried so much at the end regarding phob's fate. i was resigned to accept it as it was. i think that ending would have been better but the ending we got was ideal for the hearts of the viewers.

Not one thing or the other.

Aug 2026.
I wanted to enjoy this drama more than I did. I love JHI, but there was something 'off' about the whole thing.

It's one of those that for me, wasn't one thing or the other; stuck between all out violent action (and some scenes were uncomfortably so), sugary romance, and comedy. The three just didn't blend in this, at all.

Cast was good; I thought HY's acting was better in Trauma Code.

I could not take to her character in this at all ~ I found the character fake (especially when laughing) and really irritating at times.

Aspects of the story were a step too far, even for a fictional drama. In hiding, yet able to come and go (at times) very freely. No funds, yet able to travel and get a hotel room. There were other inconsistencies too.

I did enjoy the twist near the end, and never saw it coming.

A shame the writer didn't more firmly choose the genre, as I felt the swings, as mentioned before, were too great.

Was it just me, or did anyone else notice that Namneung and Noey look very similar from certain angles? Before watching the series, I honestly thought they looked like sisters or cousins, lol!

Regarding the series itself, I had been eagerly waiting for it to air. The enemies-to-lovers concept in the pilot felt so thrilling, and since this was Namneung and Noey's first official series as a lead couple, my expectations were a little high. Unfortunately, the plot wasn't very appealing. Why did the aunt treat a literal child that way? It is infuriating how selfish she was, and who did she even think she was? Despite her high status in the family, her behaviour felt incredibly small-minded and immature for her age. There is absolutely no excuse that could ever justify her misdeeds toward both Kaphrao and Fai.

Furthermore, I strongly believe that Fai's father was entirely in the wrong too. All of the elders who should have been responsible ended up misleading the children instead. I was quite annoyed by Fai in the first few episodes, but the later episodes explained her perspective and made her feelings somewhat convincing. Imagine having a distant father who brings a child home, calls her your sister, and then starts taking care of her more than you. Even though young Fai was small and unaware of the full situation, we are shown the full extent of her character flaws. I still believe she should have taken accountability for her actions and helped Kaphrao in their childhood itself, no matter what the rumors were.

I honestly wonder how the aunt managed to get such special treatment, letting everyone—Fai, her father, and even Kaphrao—bend to her will. Her manipulation and dark, timid, selfish aura completely ruined the vibe of the series for me. Why did no one realize from the very start that her behavior was toxic and uncharacteristic of a well-minded person?

I would have preferred to see more scenes of Fai and Kaphrao before they officially got together. While I don't think Fai's love for Kaphrao felt rushed or forced for her character development, it still would have been special to watch her realize her feelings and yearn for Kaphrao a little longer. Instead, I feel like Kaphrao never received the apology or the love she truly deserved, even by the final episode during their mutual apologies and the proposal. It felt like she always had to step aside and sacrifice her own needs for others. Even when Fai hated being distant from Kaphrao, she still did it just to appease her aunt.

I did enjoy some of Fai and Kaphrao's scenes together, especially their bickering and the way they tried to hide their affection for one another. However, as I mentioned, the entire series felt deeply uneven because of that one idiotic, selfish aunt, alongside the frustrating behavior of Fai and her father.

The core of their marriage at the end wasn't what I expected, and I wasn't fond of how it played out either. I was so uninterested at that point that even seeing the other main leads at the wedding couldn't highlight the moment for me. By then, I was just happy that they were finally a couple.

Out of the entire 4 Elements series, I would rank The Earth in a good place for its amazing performances, strong plot, and refreshing fashion sense. I also really liked The Water, despite its plot. And given how disappointing The Air turned out to be, The Fire was definitely a better watch than The Air.

The poster promises more than the script delivers.

I'm not the biggest fan of mixing horror with war. The war is scary enough. People kill other people skillfully enough, we don't need monster added to that mix. It only works when it's strictly soldiers focused - so then it becomes more of an action horror. If civilians are added in the mix, it ain't it. Especially when the the war set up is too grand for the weak script.

They tried to make it a cohesive story for the Japanese being the invaders on Thai territory like the main characters were invading the monsters lair, but that created a contradiction that was not explored at all in the script - how the monster that represented the attacked Thai people was the bad guy in that specific situation, and how war and attacks are often more complex if we talk about specific people on the group compared to few people who make the decisions.

So yes, the set up was solid, the plot overall was weak. The moment they end up in the cave, there is no story at all. Which overall is not a bard thing in horror movies - some we just watch to witness fun monster fighting people. But if you give me an emotional war set up, you gotta follow with something stronger.

Initially I was not crazy about the monster's design, but later they presented some fun ideas like it animating dead body by eating through them. Gross, but effective. Especially since the deformations in the bodies were different.

The acting was fine. No really outstanding performances. I liked the special effects - I feel like often in these movies they struggles to match the lighting of the CGI monster with the light in the background so it stands out too much, looking fake. They did a good job with it here.

Overall, decent watch, but not one I would be recommending to people.

I'm curious how the Japanese and Thai people feel about this movie :)

OH! L.O.R.D.

Many years ago, I stumbled upon LORD2 without any prior knowledge of its characters or lore. I was instantly mystified and awed—drawn into its mysterious world, its stories, and the aura surrounding its characters. Only after finishing it did I realize that what I had just watched was nearly the ending of the series.

Curious, I looked up LORD1 and was surprised to see many familiar faces. I saved it to watch later, but the right time or mood never came—until today, almost three or four years later. In the meantime, I had seen the drama adaptation of LORD, which offered a more drawn‑out view of the story. Yet my fascination with its universe never faded—the seven dukes, the silver priests, the four kingdoms. These elements strike a chord with me in ways I can’t quite explain.

Watching LORD1 now, I came across reviews calling the story messy. Personally, I didn’t feel that at all. Some say it’s meant for those who already know the tale, and I agree to an extent. But even setting aside my prior knowledge, LORD1 felt well‑paced, well‑written, and well‑executed. In just two hours, it managed to cover a compelling arc with the right balance of mystery and the freshness of a beginning legend.

No complaints. Next weekend I might revisit LORD2 to quench my thirst for mystery—hopefully it won’t take me another couple of years to return to it.

Slowed part way through.

Aug 2026.
Started strong and I was hooked, but the story did lose momentum just after half-way, with a pick-up at the close.

It wasn't spooky enough for me, because as the story began to centre more on Yeo-ri's past and its impact on the present, with the usual Chaebol shenanigans, the ghosts took a real back seat.

Some of the supporting plot arcs were quite emotional, and I was brough to tears a couple of times.

Some character's reactions to certain things/events I found very odd, and Gang-uk's grandma actually drove me nuts with how intrusive and controlling she was allowed to be.

A bit slow at times, lacked 'punch', nice cast though and a neat ending. I don't regret watching thus drama, but won't revisit.

The character Min Ji, who didn't die from blood loss and didn't freeze to death...

Overall, I enjoyed watching it. I was curious. The production, direction, and acting were very good. The action was incredibly satisfying. The excessive flashbacks were tedious. I would have been okay with one, two, or three, but a flashback in every episode was too much.
As for what I didn't like,
The events involving President Ju, in particular, were structured in a way that didn't align with reality. Instead of apologizing to a man he captured two or three times, it would have been wiser to have him surrender to the law. That would have been more realistic. But the fact that the person was left to his own devices each time, and this malicious character, taking advantage of this, constantly harassed, kidnapped, beaten, and even harmed Kim and her friends and their children, didn't work. This person was a character who didn't change his spots. He showed his bad nature every time. We see this very often in scripted games designed to extend episodes, but we also need to look at the events from a more realistic perspective.
The plot already included comedic elements, essentially laying the groundwork for the mistakes made, and it was strange that these types of state agents would behave this way. It was like trying to fix one thing and breaking another. It lacked seriousness. Of course, inserting these kinds of elements to avoid boring the viewer was a nice touch. However, the dosage needs to be carefully adjusted.

Another point is that after the girl, Ji Min, is kidnapped, injured, and bleeds, she's constantly being taken around, which means she's going to die from blood loss. She's also been put in an ice room, essentially given a death sentence. But strangely, she hasn't died, nor has she deteriorated; she's running around and fighting villains. The fact that she's supposed to freeze to death in -50 degrees, or at least be sick and bedridden, is so alive and well, and doesn't even drink a sip of water until her father rescues her, seems to have been overlooked. She should have been taken to the hospital after hitting her head. She should have been under a doctor's care. The conclusion is that if you had asked a doctor for their opinion, he should have been dead. The script was very poorly written. Some things were completely overlooked and I found it lacking in seriousness. I didn't like these things. And there were many similar things, but even this much, in my opinion, cast a shadow on the series. That's why I lowered my rating. However, since I enjoyed watching it, I would recommend it to those who want to watch it. Especially recommended for action lovers.

Mild spoilers ahead

Everything the show did well:
>Excellent acting, easily some of the franchise's best
>Really great visual direction, atmosphere setpieces and shot composition
>The ability to warp the scenery of dreams remains a constant throughout the show making fights and scenes feel unique
>Great soundtrack aside from the insert songs
>Most monsters of the week are pretty entertaining, the detective work the cast does in the first half of the show too
>Baku is a really great protagonist, he's both endearing and stylish while not feeling absurdly overpowered despite his dream abilities, his gadgets and use of capsems outside of fights also make him feel resourceful
>All of the main villains feel menacing
>Most individual stories of the 2-parters are fun on their own even though the second half is fully serialized

Everything the show did poorly:
>The show's main rival Nox is a really frustrating character throughout the whole show
>The big plot-twist in the middle makes the female lead Nem considerably less useful in the second half in spite of her massive relevance to the story
>Another thing that doesn't help these two and the other characters that aren't Baku is the pacing on the second half, despite every 2-parter case in the second half being intrinsically tied to the plot they are placed in a way that works against the story/cast, it makes so that some characters don't have enough downtime to deal with tragedies, similar plot-twists happen back to back and most of the progress the show's cop duo Fujimi and Nasuka do in the second half be continously erased making them feel useless despite being likeable characters, this also leads to certain scenes with Sieg to feel awkwardly placed
>Most CODE agents are too underexplored
>The world-building behind the Nightmares feel really wonky
>The action direction feels weaker than other Reiwa Rider shows, but this is just a nitpick since the strong visual direction compensates for it allowing for most fights in the show still be really entertaining

Reasons for the show's strengths:
The show's lead director Kamihoriuchi is one of the best in the tokusatsu industry, the team of episode directors for the show were also really solid, despite most dreams taking place in urban areas this team managed to do a lot with the dream setting.
The chief producer Yanaka dividing his responsibilities among the other two vice producers and Kamihoriuchi allowed for certain aspects of the show like direction, bike scenes, fashion and casting to be enhanced.
Yanaka wanting to have more bike scenes and both him and VP Minato being hardcore fans of early Heisei Rider allowed for the show to have more bike scenes than usual.
VP Sota already has a lot of experience with casting due to having already handle multiple dramas so him being asked to handle it helped the acting being solid throughout.
Head writer Takahashi is good at creating stories with an exciting fast pacing, despite the story progressing kinda slowly in the first quarter of the show most cases retain this sort of pace allowing for the 2-parter stories to be exciting.

Reasons for the show's problems:
Takahashi likes to lots of villains acting simultaneously which results in them not getting the development they needed.
Yanaka's style of the 2-parter structure being more focused on creating an exciting story on the short term rather than a continuous story doesn't mesh well Takahashi's fast paced storytelling style making the pacing of the show's second half to feel off, this also leads to big twist in the middle being done for the sake of it rather than for an actual story reason.
Due to being assigned to make the first show with an international release Yanaka wanted to make this show as distinct from Power Rangers as possible, so he decided that every hero of the show should be continously against Baku throughout most of the story with to make him feel lonely. This feels as a conflict of interests with Takahashi who usually opts for the villains to be extremely evil, this leads to multiple characters feeling inconsistent since their moral conflict usually aren't enough of a justification for their nefarious actions, with the most egregious case of this being Nox.
The staff decided to not tell Nox' actor about his character so some scenes early on feel off once information later gets revealed.
For the enemies known as Lords the staff only made 2 suits, 1 male and 1 female. This seriously limited what they could do with these characters since it meant they couldn't transform together or that one character would suddenly stop transforming because the suit had already been cannibalized.

Overall:
Zeztz is a continuously entertaining ride but it's a show that feels bumpy the more you look back to. The small cases and certain plot beats work on a vacuum but the story as a whole isn't up to par. While most of the characters of the show are not only likable but well acted they feel severely underutilized aside from the protagonist Baku. Overall the show ends up being pretty good but not so standout, I at least feel that the staff succeeded in their goal of making a season that's good for beginners to toku to start with, I'd definitely recommend it as starting point for anyone interested in Rider or toku in general.

A phoenix who never rise.

When i started this drama i already know it's not a big one and a top Xianxia but i like story with a FL who hide a power so i said to myself "why not giving it a chance".

The first 10 episodes are very good, i very like the academy part but after it's going down very fast. Each episode is more boring than the previous one, the support characters are very bad written, Bad played, we keep waiting for the famous phoenix and even when it's come it's with a poor plot. The lack if expérience is very visible.

I'm not going to write much about it, its a random Xianxia, with good CGI, poor writing.The side story with the cooking princess part is the only thing who keep me watching till the end.

Good to pass the time

I was never really a fan of TayNew to start with, as much as I personally love New as an actor. But I admit this might be the worst BL both of them have ever played in. Don't get me wrong, the drama is not that bad, it's quite funny, and you might have a good laugh, but the plot is very weak and the characters' development too.

We follow the journey of a first responder who actually does everything but his job, and a flight attendant who sets foot on a plane once a year, but seems to have a lot of time on his hand to scheme about his cheating boyfriend. What's even the point of giving them a job at this point ? The series title "A Dog and a Plane" might confuse you about the importance of their status, but really, they will do anything but go to work.

The story is more focused on how they come to be a couple after what happened to Kanit. And even there, it didn't seem like much of a challenge for Toto, who probably just had to say "hi" to convince Kanit to date him. In fact, even the beginning where they are supposed to hate each other feels like a ten-year-old school fight. The story is lacking in every way, but it's not the worst BL I've watched. Just good enough, so it passes the time while not being that bored.

Bro ppl r so dramatic, some of the review put me off watching this for a while but ut was actually so good, the first 2 eps were a bit of a drag but i think it was rlly good. Their "break ups" were rlly short n its in quotes cus it was barely even a break up. My only thing is tha the ending was too abrupt but apart from that, it was rlly good.

J’aime beaucoup cet épisode !
Ça pose les bases d’une histoire qui a l’air solide !
L’acting, la colorimétrie, l’alchimie ; c’est un 10/10 ❤️‍🔥
Un grand bravo à WilliamEst. Ils ne cessent de se surpasser depuis la fin de Thampo 🥹

J’ai hâte d’en apprendre un peu plus sur les personnages et l’histoire !
Je veux du drama !!!
