A crazy casting for a Masterpiece

Before starting the review i think i'have to say this : WTF is this cast?? We have Dilraba Dilmurat, Leo Wu,Liu Yu Ning,Zhao Lu Si and Alen Fang in THE SAME drama, how crazy is that? Even for the support roles the cast is very good.

I loved every episode of this drama, even though it takes a good ten episodes before it really gets going. The level of acting it's a high level, the character of Li Chang Ge is a strong woman! The production is very great, the story is well written even though there are a few weaknesses in the writing at times, especially toward the end, as is often the case with Chinese dramas. Very nice OST and so much feelings happens!

It's a very good drama with an amazing cast, it's going to be hard to watch something else right ater this one!

Finally, a Japanese BL that I genuinely loved. 😊

And an extra bonus for having older main characters. It’s refreshing to see a story that focuses on adults rather than the usual school or university setting, and it made the series even more enjoyable for me. 🤍✨

10/10 Heartwarming, Funny, and Comfortingly Real

I'm Tee, Me Too is a beautifully warm and comforting series that blends friendship, healing, and gentle humor in the most natural way. What begins as a simple story about an orphaned college student trying to save his home slowly turns into a heartfelt journey of companionship and emotional growth.
Each character named "Tee" is unique and lovable, representing different personalities, struggles, and emotional wounds. The chemistry among the cast is outstanding, making their friendships feel genuine and deeply relatable. The series balances light comedy with emotional moments, creating a cozy and wholesome viewing experience.
What truly makes I'm Tee, Me Too special is its message-that healing doesn't always come from romance, but from understanding, friendship, and being there for one another.
It's soft, sincere, and emotionally satisfying.

The first 6 episodes are the best

The first 6 episodes are my absolute favourite, I absolutely love the slow pacing and how Jae won looks at Ji Hyeon is absolutely beautiful. I absolutely loved everything about these episodes
But then in the 7th episode they hinted at Ji Hyeon dying and that left a bad taste that lasted till the end. It was absolutely unnecessary and honestly, was only there to build up drama. How Jae won dealt with the accident was also weirdly described. As someone who has been through something similar to Jae Won, I understand him distancing himself from everyone. But other than that, him getting back with Eun Ji is something that completely contradicts his character.
And how everyone dealt with Jae Won shutting down, including Ji Hyeon was so damn weird. Which btw was again a contradiction to Ji Hyeon's character. Everybody talking about how Jae Won didn't look okay but not a single made enough effort to actually talk to him. I understand it's a drama. The entire character of Jae Won hits too close to home, maybe that's why I feel like how Ji Hyeon dealt with his response to the accident was too lightly.
Also Jae Won recovered wayyyyy too quickly, there was no mention of his initial dilemma which was about his future. He just suddenly went from being depressed to a ray of sunshine in 1 episode. Also everyone forgiving everyone at the end is so cliche and uncalled for. Tae hyeong and Eun Ji were bitched who only made Jae Won miserable for a long time. The first step towards recovery would've been cutting these toxic people out of his life. But damn, they gave it a Disney ending.
But then again, I liked the first 6 episodes were so good, I just can't hate this drama.

too short to tell a believable story...

After "Winter Fever" I did expect more from Trufilm. The "kid" is quite abnoxious and of course with an age of 20 nobody is really an adult. But 4x8 minutes can't tell a believable story, because it happens too fast...

What I did not understand is, does the kid study on the same university as he teaches? If he does there can't be a relationsship whatsoever. So we have to assume he does not. The kissing also felt akward for me... I also didn't feel any chemistry between them.

It's ok to watch around 30 mintues but it's not even medicore, it's too plain, too unbelievable and not well acted out. While I would like to support small production companies for sure, they need to step up with the quality of their script and deliver something outstanding and not the same old, same old. At least I expected something better from them. For me it's one of their weakest shows ever.

8/10 You won't find a more open minded asian drama in kdramaland ever

This drama should be shown as mandatory in all schools in asian countries as sex education and values and morals in general so they learn how to respect each individuals rights, feelings and decisions early on, l am from an European country when this is very normal but I know in Asian countries subjects as homosexuality, abortion, women's rights/feminism or sex in general are very taboo so I'm so happy a drama like this portrayed so well everyone of them.
Acting is average ( some actors better than others), and you can tell is a very low budget one. But good enough chemistry in general.
Regarding the actual storylines and plots, this series could have been fantastic, I understand so good what they wanted to do with it, and it is beautiful. It has so much potential. It just has a bit of a poor execution when it comes to telling the stories.
I think it is because it has so many subplots and it's so little time to tell them so there's not really time to dig deeper into them. So it felt shallow at times and a bit chaotic. The biggest twist at the end was the best and the most emotional too, well done to the writers because until then I was thinking the story was a bit too weak.
Overall I think its a show worth watching, you will love all the learnings the characters take on their way and look forward to discover what the hell happens with the mystery of the camera!

A pretty decent series overall, although the relationship was definitely on the toxic side.
It had some interesting moments, but the dynamic between the characters wasn’t always easy to watch. 😅

10/10 The Story and the Screenplay

Low you teacher is a kind of series that makes the audience seated. The storyline is engaging. The story is really out of box still in the line. I mean something new and fresh. More than the story, the screenplay is very important. The sequence of the scenes are well executed. The one who organized the scenes deserves a raise.
Another important key is the actors portrayal of the Characters. In this case, Perth is really amazing. He proved why he is one of the most talented artists. Santa is more than I expected. The absolute level of his acting is when he portrays both Sun and Solar in different ways. Sun is naughty and stubborn while Solar is well mannered and mature. Kay, Man!! Really He is something else, who knows he can nail all the roles like this one which is fun and joy different from his past roles. Having Sammy in the series is Gold. She knows what she is doing.
The story and their acting are more engaging like I can't even skip a second.
~Please excuse any English mistakes.

Saved from a summer slump

Good enough series, saved by the story, its strong supporting cast ( mother, teacher and friends) and slice of life setting.
Not everyone can make a good modern drama, very weak acting wise ( ml was exceptional in Blossom so I guess that mysterious cold look works better for him). Personally not a great fan of one problem after another kind of trope and typical cliched cp, repeating issues etc without any character growth and story progression.
However, an easy going light watch, run in the background kind of acceptable production, saved from a summer drama slump.

I don't usually write reviews, but this series genuinely made me want to.

The first thing I have to talk about is the acting. Both lead actors were absolutely amazing. Nothing felt forced or overly dramatic. Every emotion felt real, whether it was happiness, jealousy, frustration, heartbreak, or love. There were so many moments where they didn't even need dialogue because their expressions alone said everything. That's what made this drama so special to me.

What impressed me the most was how natural their chemistry felt. It never looked like two actors trying to play a couple. It felt like two people genuinely connected to each other. Because of that, I became emotionally invested in their journey very quickly. I found myself smiling during the cute moments and feeling emotional during the difficult ones.

I also watched a lot of the behind-the-scenes content, and that honestly made me appreciate the series even more. Seeing how comfortable they were with each other and how much effort they put into their roles made the final result feel even more meaningful. You can tell that both actors cared deeply about the characters they were portraying.

Another thing I loved was that I was never bored. Not once. Usually, even dramas I enjoy have a few episodes that feel slow or make me want to skip ahead. With this series, every episode kept my attention. I was always excited to see what would happen next, and before I knew it, I had finished the whole thing.

The music was beautiful, the emotional scenes hit hard, and the overall production quality was great. Everything came together perfectly.

This was honestly one of the most enjoyable BLs I've watched. The emotions felt genuine, the performances were incredible, and the story kept me invested from beginning to end. It's rare for a drama to make me feel this attached to the characters, but this one definitely did.

A very easy 10/10 from me, and I would happily watch it again.

Very sweet! Am rewatching right now!

I watched this when it aired, but am rewatching because I want something sweet, no toxicity, and Japanese. (currently watching a C-bl that's got a bajillion red flags! iykyk)
This is a really adorable show. Yes, there are cliches and tropes abound, but sometimes that's ok.
The actors are good and the story is a feel-good story.
All of the characters are well written and I liked the light heartedness.
As a side note... the amusement park used in the series is used in a LOT of Japanese shows... I recognize some buildings and rides that I've seen in other series. 🤣 And it's the same amusement park...so don't say it could be any park. 🤪

A pretty little rom-com

I came to know this series through Netflix recommendations and became curious after watching the trailer.
I was hooked and could hardly stop watching.

I really liked it, but the drama lacked a compelling storyline. I stayed for the witty jokes and fun-to-watch scenes. The main couple was hilarious, even in their more cringey moments. Usually I suffer from secondhand embarrassment but this time I could laugh about how silly the main leads became.

I didn't care much for the drama part of the series. It was a timid rollercoaster ride without many highs or lows. There's was almost no intensity to the episodes. The more intense scenes are rare and resolve fairly quickly. Which was good for me because I was in the mood for someting mellow. It was fun and that's what counts.

Positives:
- I liked the humour in the episodes. It genuinely made me laugh out loud.
- The characters kept me involved in the storyline. I wish certain characters had more depth to them, though.

Negatives:
- The show is weird with time and travel distances. In one scene it shows how much time they have to spend to ride back and forth from the village to Seoul (I think it was like 2.5 hours?) but in later episodes they make it seem like there's no distance between the two at all.
- I don't know what kind of magic is in those sleep meds and anti-anxiety pills she keeps taking but if sleepwalking is the only side effect from overdosing on them, more people would take them by the dozen.
- The whole evil big brain behind their traumatic past was resolved way too quickly. Even for a mellow, not-too-dramatic romcom.

Would I recommend? Yes. Like I said, it's fun to watch. I was definitely in the mood for something lighter which made this one a perfect hit for me. So if that's the case for you, please watch this one. If you're in for something deeper, you might be better off watching something else.

Great action drama- Rain steals the show

This season took a few episodes to find its footing. The beginning felt noticeably slow, and I wasn't sure where the story was headed. However, once the pacing picked up, I found myself completely hooked and couldn't stop watching.

The boxing duo remains the heart of the series. Their dynamic is as strong as ever, and watching them fight to protect their loved ones carried real emotional weight. Rain, in particular, delivered an outstanding performance as the villain. He brought depth and charisma to the role, making his character both intimidating and compelling to watch.

The fight choreography deserves special mention — the action scenes were well-executed and genuinely exciting. Across the board, the cast performed admirably.

I also want to highlight Do Hwan, who continues to be one of my favorite actors. His ability to display complex emotions with subtlety and power is remarkable, and he added significant emotional layers to the story.

Be sure to watch both post-credit scenes — they are not to be missed.

The ending strongly hints at more to come, and I sincerely hope the production team announces a third season soon. I would love to see this team face another villain in the future.

Very good, but not perfect ?

Overall, this is a really good bl. The acting is well done for the content. Some have criticized Chiaki's actor for being too blunt, but that's just his personality, which is why he identifies with the punk/goth community. Being from that community myself, as well as being queer, he reminded me of several I've met.
Also, being in the fashion industry, one needs to be forthright or you'll get eaten.
All that being said, I felt the actors did a good job with what they were given to work with. Remember, their given a script and being directed, so what we get is what the producers want us to have. Often it's not entirely the fault of the actor.
I appreciate much of the outdoor filming was one of the fashion districts of Tokyo, Shibuya ward/Harajuku (Cat Street especially). I have many punk and vintage shops bookmarked when I visit next year.
I agree that the final episodes was a bit rushed and too cringe. I feel there must be a production/director issue, because the vibe changed.
I wish this could have been a bit more edgier (sp?). From what I understand, the manga goes more in-depth with the relationships, which would have been nice to see.
I will definitely re-watch this and am planning on getting the manga.
