Reviews

boring !!!

THAnk god it’s over, when I start watching something I need to finish it, I never drop any series even if it’s bad. And I never write any reviews, but after this, I had to.
I’m sorry but that was horrible. ONE OF THE worst BLs I’ve watched. Not the worst. !
When I saw the pilot I was excited, bcs I liked the first show, so i had very high expectations, too high….I haven’t read the novel but does the plot really look like this? Really I don’t get the plot, they act like someone was killed, they didn’t even cheat on each other. While watching this, in my mind was only “It’s not that deep bro 🤡” boring, boring and boring. Seriously, what a big downfall compared to the first show.
Forgetting the plot, their acting was mid 🫠
The only good thing was the intro/music and Aou carried this show. Boom was good too.
I haven’t watched any series with this cast, but I heard a lot about them (bcs they are popular ships, right?) so that was my first series with them and yeah, guys remember, popularity≠quality.
And what was that ending even supposed to mean? Season 3? Hell nahhh, better not. Don’t do it 🙏🏻 Actually, it’s not even about the acting, but the plot was SO boring, 0️⃣🧪.

Not the best, not good, not mid but not the worst 👍🏻

(Ofc, it’s only my opinion, I’ve read many reviews from other people about this show and others as well. I keep an open mind about every drama and other people’s opinions bcs I like it. You know, so many people, so many minds.) OH and I’m sorry for my English but it’s not my first language…😌🫶🏻

Park Ji Hoon, Oh My God.

At this point, I’m convinced I’ll watch literally anything this man acts in because oh my god, the acting in this absolutely destroyed me.

The movie itself may not have been perfectly made. There were definitely certain depths and emotional layers that could’ve been explored more and honestly, I even feel like this story might’ve worked better as a mini-series to fully flesh everything out. I especially wish we had gotten more relationship development (a little more emotional bonding without it being rushed) between Heung Do and the deposed King because I feel like that would’ve helped viewers understand the emotional weight of the story even more deeply and made the impact hit harder toward the end.

But despite those flaws, the performances were so phenomenal that I was completely moved from start to finish. It’s actually such a simple story on paper, yet the way the emotions were portrayed made everything hit ten times harder. You could genuinely feel every ounce of pain, grief, helplessness and humanity through the acting alone.

And the eye acting by Park Ji Hoon? Phenomenal as always. He conveys so much emotion without even needing dialogue sometimes. Even Yoo Hai Jin really stood out to me; his performance genuinely had me in tears. The emotional delivery from both of them carried so much of the film’s impact.

And then came the realization that this was based on real historical events. Holy. Hell.

I already found myself emotional while watching but learning that real people actually lived through this made the ending hit me like a truck. I cried so much harder afterward because suddenly it stopped feeling like “just a movie.” There’s something deeply haunting about knowing that the suffering, emotions and tragedies shown on screen were rooted in reality.

This is one of those films where the acting completely elevates the experience beyond its flaws. Even if the storytelling wasn’t perfect, the performances made sure the emotions stayed with me long after the credits rolled.

Drama zwischen Bühne und Leben – Menschen mit Fehlern und ihren Entscheidungen

Hinweis: Folgende Zeilen stellen meine persönliche, subjektive Einschätzung der Serie dar.
Ich habe die erste Staffel nicht gesehen, hatte aber zu keinem Zeitpunkt das Gefühl, dass ich sie hätte sehen müssen. Es kamen zwar Charaktere aus Staffel 1 vor, aber ich konnte sie für die Dauer ihrer Präsenz in Staffel 2 gut genug kennenlernen und musste nicht mehr über sie wissen. Ich glaube, sie waren vor allem wegen der Fans da.
Das mit Boston habe ich nicht verstanden. Sein erster Auftritt war sehr dramatisch inszeniert und auch die anderen Auftritte hatten irgendwie Gewicht, aber am Ende war es eigentlich nichts.
Ich mochte alle drei Pärchen gerne. Aou und Boom überzeugen einfach in jeder Serie. Und Mix – was ist er bitte für ein toller Schauspieler! Ich war richtig begeistert.
Auch wenn man das Pärchen Arnold und Tua nicht zwingend gebraucht hätte, fand ich den Charakter Tua trotzdem sehr sympathisch. Das Kostümdesign-Ding passt zu Gawin.
Das Theatersetting mochte ich total und auch das Theaterstück „Romeo & Romeo“ fand ich eine richtig gute Idee, aber warum muss es wieder dieses Universitätsding sein? Das brauche ich echt nicht mehr. Man kann diesen Schauspielern locker erwachsene Rollen geben, man würde es allen abkaufen. Das hat mich gestört.
Es gab in der Story viel Drama, fast wie bei einer Seifenoper und genau das will die Serie auch sein: eine leichte Story mit viel Rumgeheule, Rumgezicke, Rumgestreite und Rumgeknutsche. Ich hatte zumindest nie den Eindruck, dass sie irgendwelche komplexen, tiefgründigen Erzählungen auspacken will.
Das mit dem „Bösewicht“ Pete wurde meiner Meinung nach zu schnell abgehandelt, da hätte man gerne mehr Story und Emotion reinpacken können. Ich mochte, dass die Serie Menschen auch mit Fehlern darstellt, die falsche Entscheidungen treffen. Es gibt keinen, der alles richtig oder alles falsch macht. In einem Moment hat man Mitleid, im nächsten denkt man sich: Was soll das jetzt?
Was ich auch nicht verstehe: Ein Happy End heißt nicht, dass am Ende immer alle zusammen sein müssen. Es heißt eher, dass alle ihren Frieden finden, die Situation akzeptieren und daran wachsen. Man muss nicht immer zusammenkommen, zusammen sein oder zusammen bleiben.

What happened???

I don't know if it was the wait for this or the fact that I rewatched the first one a week before I started this but I couldn't be more underwhelmed if I tried. Again AouBoom's chemistry saved yet another show. For Christ sake GMM can you give these 2 their own show already!!!! Mix was amazing as well and it was fun to see him doing something different but the highlights were the cameos by the first series cast. I expected this to be a beautiful chaotic mess like the first one and instead got a lame attempt at angst. I watch 90% of the last 2 episodes at 2x speed only slowing it down for AouBoom's parts. Maybe it's my fault for expecting more from a sequel when I should have know better. I'm sure if you watch this one first with no expectations it's probably pretty good but after watching the train wrecks made by Ray, Boston & Boeing this one just couldn't hold up.

ROME RAFFY RULED THIS SEASON

After OF S1 I really didn't wanna watch this cz of how messy the season 1 was but i gotta give credits to the comment section with all the characters interacting that made me give this one a go. Anyone who is wondering if you should watch this one? YES you should. It's not as messy as season 1 and is more digestible more like a watered down season 1. We get 1 cross couple kiss which is from an angle so uk the actors didn't kiss🤣. The plot is pretty close to season 1.

RomeRaffy being SandRay from season 1 where Raffy has a huge crush on Jack while Rome just unconditionally likes Raffy like Sand liked Ray. Their story is probably the best one among the 3 with proper build and character development. When i started the drama i absolutely HATED RAFFY but now that the drama ended i absolutely LOVE HIM🤭 his character just grew soo well throughout the story.

ArnoldTua were practically TopMew of this season wity Tua being the virgin who ends up falling Arnold who is "not loyal" to him. Their plot was pretty simple so i was enjoying it until mid season i.e. the climax🙄 i was expecting things to actually happen like how Top actually slept with Boston but then nah it was a small misunderstanding (a really stupid one) which blew up to the point that i was like "bro it's not a big deal". So they went from being my favorite couple to an ok kinda couple. The climax is the reason i rated this drama a 9 cz i felt they needed something solid cz that was just stupid. They probably did it cz they wanted to play safe after the backlash the season 1 received.

Coming to JackDean🙄🙄 the BostonNick of this season. Dean was kinda Boston but more pitiful n sad kinda. Jack was a Jackass. For the 1st time in my history of being a BL fan have i ever truely wished for a couple to get a bloody sad ending and break up was in their case. I've even rooted for black flags but jack is just a BIG NO. Jack doesn't have much presence in the 1st half he's kinda a washed out character compared to others who had strong presence in the series but if u pay attention u can notice how he was never a supportive bf and just wanted a toy, someone who'd listen to him, praise him and worship him which is what dean is🙄. I absolutely HATE that they got a happy ending n ik that man hasn't changed a bit even after all this he's only back cz he couldn't find someone like Dean😑 they're definitely gonna keep breaking up in the future.

Coming to Boston. All that hype about him bringing chaos 🙄🙄 nah nothing as such happened🤣🤣🤣. The entire series i was like now he's gonna cause problem but then bro became a green flag and left🤣🤣🤣

Anyways although i do appreciate season 1 for it's risk and amazing writing this was more digestible although i felt it needed a bit more now that we hv watched season 1 and are kinda ready to tolerate cross couple interactions. I've rated this higher than season 1. Watch it guys it's good

Only Friends Dream On is pure emotional chaos and I loved every second of it

I went into Only Friends: Dream On expecting chaos, drama, and emotional damage… and somehow it still exceeded my expectations. This series really feels like a beautiful disaster in the best possible way. GMMTV took everything fans loved about the original Only Friends universe — messy relationships, toxic attraction, heartbreak, jealousy, and intense chemistry — and turned the emotional tension all the way up. What makes Dream On so addictive is that nobody is completely innocent. Every character is flawed, emotional, selfish, vulnerable, and painfully human. One moment you’re screaming at them for making terrible decisions, and the next moment you completely understand why they did it. The writing keeps you emotionally trapped because every relationship feels unpredictable. The chemistry between the cast is INSANE. EarthMix brought so much emotional weight to Jack and Dean — every scene between them feels loaded with unresolved feelings and history. Meanwhile, AouBoom and JossGawin added their own flavor of tension, longing, and heartbreak that made the entire friend group dynamic feel explosive. Nobody is safe in this show emotionally. I also loved the theater setting because it mirrors the characters perfectly: everyone is acting, hiding feelings, performing for others, and slowly falling apart behind the scenes. The “Romeo & Romeo” storyline was such a smart metaphor for doomed love and obsession. It made the emotional scenes hit even harder. And honestly? This series understands BL fans who enjoy emotionally messy stories. It’s dramatic, spicy, chaotic, frustrating, heartbreaking, and impossible to stop watching. Every episode leaves you stressed but desperate for the next one. That’s the magic of Only Friends: Dream On — it doesn’t try to give you perfect love; it gives you complicated love that feels dangerously real.
For me, this is one of those BLs that stays in your head long after the episode ends. A total emotional rollercoaster — toxic, tender, and unforgettable. 🔥

unfortunately, i guess i will have to drop, i find myself pushing myself to watch so thats a sign that im not much interested in whats happening, i think the ml Zhai Qiu Yu is extremely annoying (im talking about the character behaviors obviously), overall i think its an execution problem, i feel bored? im sure it could have been made in a way that can be more interesting,
i find myself liking the second couple more, but i dont feel like anything is captivating me enough
but anyway i wish success for every cbl as they work hard to make them in the conditions that they are in ^^
note: i heard that its Jinx manhwa live action without the acknowledge, im not sure how much true it is as i didnt check the manhwa but if its true then i hope they give credit to it

Meus amores

O que falar do meu primeiro bl? TharnType não me trouxe apenas os personagens, mas também os atores MewGulf que, durante muito tempo, foram meu refúgio.

Essa história tem tantas nuances e eu amo observar todas. O Type é muito forte, lidar com tudo o que ele lidou com tão pouca idade não é fácil, claro que isso não justifica as atitudes homofóbicas dele, mas já nos traz um outro olhar sobre ele, assim podemos lembrar que não é apenas preconceito puro, mas muito, muito medo.

O Tharn meu amorzinho que tem essa casca confiante e seguro de si, mas no fundo tem medo de ser abandonado e está disposto a modificar seu DNA para agradar o outro e não ser deixado sozinho. Há necessidade de falar que o Tharn foi sim estuprado quando adolescente, mas nunca havia se dado conta, pois ele tinha apenas 14 anos e esse amigo do irmão mais velho utilizou de algo que o Tharn gostava muito pata fazer com que os dois se relacionassem dessa forma e, aparentemente, não foi gentil durante o ato.

O relacionamento deles foi muito conturbado, eram muitas brigas, ciúmes, mas acho que, de alguma forma, eles sempre se encaixaram bem, teve sempre muito amor envolvido e a vontade de se resolverem. Eles se compensam em diversas áreas, um complementa o outro e eu acho isso lindo!!!!!

O que falar sobre aquele corno do Llong? Não vou entrar no mérito do que ele fez com o melhor amigo pois, honestamente, isso foi a mais leve atitude dele. Trazer um trauma tão grotesco na vida de vários homens só por ciúmes? Ele é um criminoso e me irrita muito não ter sofrido as consequências.

Amo demais esse bl, tem suas falhas sim! Porém, é meu xodó e acalento no coração ❤️

Muitas ambiguidades

Playful kiss foi meu primeiro dorama e tem um espaço de muito carinho dentro de mim por causa disso, mas, mesmo assim, tem coisas incabiveis e precisamos falar sobre o quão tóxica está história é!

É uma humilhação do início ao fim, Oh Hani vive os seus dias pelo Beak Seung Jo, ela não tem objetivos próprios, sonhos de carreira, o mundo dela gira em volta deste homem, o que ele quiser ela quer também. Uma das coisas que me irrita profundamente é quando ela para de comer por causa dele, eles brigam e a vida da Oh Hani para, ela não conversa com as amigas, não come, fica cabisbaixa... gente? Que obsseção é esta!

E quanto ao Beak Seung jo? Não tem justificativa alguma para o jeito que ele age, tentaram vir com uma historinha de que ele é deste jeito porque a mãe sempre tentou controlar a vida dele, mas, pelo menos para mim, não cola de jeito algum. Fazer o que ele faz com a menina é desumano! Ele é péssimo em todos os sentidos

Podem falar que a Oh Hani é chata e eu até concordo pois ela vive na cola dele, não deixa ele em paz, PORÉM, vem aí o pulo do gato. O Beak Seung Jo ignora, esculacha, acaba com a auto estima dela, destrói mesmo, mas todas as vezes que a Oh Hani tentou seguir em frente e esquecer, ele ia lá todo carinhoso para puxar ela de volta, ficava fofo por um tempo e quando percebia que ela estava de volta para ele, voltava a tratar igual lixo. Sem contar que ele só tomou uma atitude e se declarou quando percebeu que realmente estava perdendo a Oh Hani.

Agora eu me pergunto, como um pai vê a filha se rastejando, vê ela ficando mal, vê o jeito que o homem trata ela e simplesmente DEIXA. E do contrario, como os pais veem o jeito que o filho trata a menina e não falam NADA, pelo contrário, a mãe fica a todo tempo incentivando os dois a ficarem juntos. A mãe do Beak Seung Jo é maravilhosa, o alívio cômico e uma ótima sogra, mas ela peca muito nestes momentos como mulher mesmo.

Por fim, o final foi extremamente corrido, eu odeio os momentos na lua de mel deles, uma mulher claramente dando em cima dele e qual a atitude do ser? Brigar com a esposa dele quando ela fala que se sente desconfortável com aquela mulher. Os episódios especiais são legais.

Em geral eu gosto dos atores, acho que fizeram um trabalho maravilhoso, tem química e os momentos de felicidade são bons.

Wrong Title and bland plot

Only Friends: Dream On has two main issues: being tied to Only Friends and having boring characters. While the series boasts a great selection of talented actors, the plot and the characters themselves are lackluster.
However, the biggest hurdle is simply existing in the world of Only Friends. OFDO would benefit so much from being called Romeo & Romeo and existing as a standalone story. The appearance of original Only Friends characters every couple of episodes (and specially Boston's involvement in the plot) didn’t add anything to the story; it only served to remind the audience of a more interesting set of characters. I’m not even the biggest Only Friends fan, but you can’t compare the two series when this one can’t even handle showing two characters kissing if they aren't in an established ship.
To top it off, the ending was boring. For a second, I thought the show would do something daring and split Dean and Jack up, but of course, they didn't. It’s a case of wasted potential and a wasted cast

Good story, but the romance timing was just off

I had high hopes for this drama/series because I have seen Pit Babe and Pit Babe Season 2, both of which I really liked. In Goddess Bless You From Death, Pavel (as Singha) plays a detective who has to solve a case involving ritual killings. This role suits him perfectly, and he plays it convincingly. Pooh (as Thup) plays an orphan who can see ghosts. This role also suits him well, and he delivers a convincing performance.

The story starts off with seven bodies hanging from a tree in an abandoned mall, and from there on, it remains engaging and interesting. The visuals, makeup, props, and cinematography really make the scenes shine. I didn't find it particularly scary, but I have watched a lot of thrillers. It did, however, have plenty of suspense and twists that weren't too predictable.

However, while I really liked the connection and chemistry between Pavel and Pooh in their previous work, it just isn't as strong in this drama. That largely has to do with how the romance is integrated into the plot. It feels as if the writers didn't quite know where to fit the romance into the series and just ended up dropping it in randomly. That was such a missed opportunity; the dangerous situations and high-pressure circumstances provided the perfect setup for heightened physical attraction or intense romance. I could have seen this getting pretty passionate, but apparently, the writers or directors didn't see it that way. The potential was definitely there, especially since this isn't the couple's first drama together, so things could have been even more intense than before—but unfortunately, it felt dialed back.

Apart from that, it is a good show, and I think others will definitely enjoy watching it.

Plot

The Price of Confession ini honestly SO GOOD 😭 the vibe is super addictive. every episode feels like a mind game where you keep changing your theory again and again because literally everyone looks suspicious in some way. aku nontonnya tuh kayak “ok this is the killer” but then the drama is like NOPE 😭 and everything gets twisted again. especially the murder case of the dentist’s child… THAT PART WAS CRAZY. the clues are so subtle but also misleading, so you’re always second-guessing yourself. it’s not just a thriller, it feels like psychological manipulation for the audience too 😭 like you’re forced to think deeper but still end up wrong most of the time. dan jujur pas nonton, rasanya itu campur banget: tense, curious, and kinda anxious at the same time. setiap ending episode tuh bukan “relief”, tapi malah “WAIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED??” 😭 i also love how slow-burn it is. it doesn’t rush, but every small detail matters later, so you’re constantly overanalyzing everything. bener bener tipe drama yang bikin kamu jadi detective dadakan, but you’re always one step behind. overall, it’s addictive, smart, and super frustrating in the best way 😭🔥
