Everything great about the show

I have to say that Love you teacher is the best bl that is out right now.
Firstly I love the plot of the show it’s so different from other bls because for once the couple is actually together from beginning of the show and the plot is so lovely, they are both teachers but one only became a teacher because of his boyfriend, isn’t that so cute he loved his boyfriend so much that he followed him to teach kids that he doesn’t even like. Also, it’s about a man staying and taking care of his sick partner who sometimes wakes up as a kid when he doesn’t like kids and that is so rare to find a man that will take care of his sick partner.
Next, I have to say that Perth and Santas acting is amazing because you can really see the pain that Pobmek is going through whilst taking care of solar especially when he first took him home from the hospital. Santas acting as Solar and Sun is really good because you can always tell when it is solar or sun, he has done an impeccable job of portraying as a 7 year old kid.
Thirdly, the director Dome did a great job with the script and with the casting for the show, he has created the perfect show.
Fourth, the music in the show is really fitting for every scene and sounds lovely.
Lastly, the cinematography is amazing the camera quality throughout the series is really good and as the director Dome says “every frame is a painting” it is so beautiful to look at.

Not great, unless you starving for GL

I found this watchable after it found its groove, but a lot of this is pretty rough as far as production value and continuity.

There are times where it seems the editing is rushed or unpaid. There was a whole sequence where an actors "leaves the room and the time passes" but they dont use any transitions, so you can clearly just see they had the actor walk into and out of the frame multiple times without giving the actual time in between or using any transition effects to communicate that time passed.

Stuff like that is sprinkled throughout, which is disappointing / jarring. But if you just accept that this is a very low budget or student film, then you may be able to enjoy the main couple. They have good chemistry, so if you are just here for GL vibes, then you may find it worth a watch.

Fun melodrama from my favorite team

They really went into this and said, let's make a melodrama and just have fun with it. Another production from this team where you can tell that being an indie production let someone focus on writing the plot that they wanted, and not worry about forcing it to be excessively curated. It is well written and you can tell someone really put time into considering how to peel back the layers of the story.

Modern melodramas aren't usually my thing, but this was engaging and interesting. I feel like all the characters were complex and unique individuals.

Also there is a "sequel" but it is unrelated, just the same team telling a similar but different story. It is also fun.

Wuxia GL!!!!

Why are GL fantasy dramas so rare? idk but this production team has taken on themselves to make sure we don't starve.

The plot has layers, the characters are all vibrant and compelling. If you are particularly attached to polish then you should probably check your expectations as this is a low budget production, but in many ways that is the best part. Indie projects like this have HEART. You can tell that these stories are love letters to the genre, made by people who are actually fans and artists.

If you enjoy this, and don't know this team, then buckle up because they have more content! They have made a few wuxias and a few moderns too. And the more you dig in, the cozier the cast feels.

This drama in particular is a robust epic that has some fascinating writing. I would watch so much more of this.

That was a cool trick Genm!

You can view this mini-series right after watching Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Riders. It's supplementary to main series. You can skip it, however, why would you?

This mini-series don't have a very "deep" story, but you are not here for that depth either. You get to see some of your favourite Kamen Riders and have them fight. Visual effects were cool, fights were fun to watch. And musical score was good. And there's a cool twist at the end.

If this was part of the main series, I would score it little less, thinking it's just fluff, but as a youtube web-series, it's great. Would recommend!

a darker shade of romance

When i started watching this series, I wasn't sure where the story was heading - there were these wierd cases and there was female lead's relentless pursuit of her friend's case and her excessive care towards her students - No teacher can be as selfless towards their students as she is, despite knowing protecting them could mean she could sufffer losses, she still does it, her excessive care tells you she went through something, but it wasnt apparent in the beginning what it was and dont know how to tie it all up, it took a few episodes for the story to establish what the story want to say and where it is headed. I was shocked by some of the stuff, and very grateful to the makers for bringing this story to life. As someone in the comments section said, this series helped label excessive, manipulative behaviours that were difficult to understand oneself, and explain to others. This story is a must-watch for all genders, not just women. Manipulation can happen to both genders, though it seemed skewed towards one gender in this series.

Spoilers Ahead... Read only after you have watched the series

Coming to the story itself, FL had a great childhood, with loving parents and a comfortable life. All changed one fine day when her father died in an accident that turned her life upside down. From a safe, loving childhood , it turned the surviving parent into an emotional abuser and a trusted family friend to prey upon her. A one-night stand at her emotionally weak moment made her a single parent. And the scandal of her association with an older man made her the subject of gossip on the lips of her contemporaries, someone unworthy of respect. Though life/fate served her badly, she stubbornly headed forward with positivity, completed her education, secured decent employment, and raised her son exceedingly well.

Coming to ML, he comes from a relatively poorer family , raised in a faraway place. An abusive father, a meek mother who couldn't protect herself or her children. A childhood filled with beatings and more beatings. His only salvation was his sister's protection. His sense of 1st betrayal was from his parents - one abusive and one useless (to protect him from abusive one!) , his 2nd betrayal was in his perception from his sister - who was his shield and protected him from his abusive father - betrayed him by finding herself a boy friend , then find life away from the family .. he sees this a betrayal 2 ways , one loving someone else more than him and abandoning him and going away. Though his sister was probably a young lady herself with a strong protective instinct , who took immense beatings from their father in his stead, was probably trying to find a ray of light in her dark world in her boyfriend, and going away was her way of trying to secure resources, funds to help her much smarter younger brother to have a higher education that she herself couldn't have. If there was someone who is the epitome of selflessness in this series , it would be her.(along with FL )....

ML couldn't handle these betrayals - and turns into something he probably abhored in his childhood- a monster . ... while FL , though she had every reason to hate life, people, society, and hit back at the world for not protecting her younger self,
She becomes an epitome of kindness to the needy,

same dastardly circumstances turns one inhuman and another a divine person....

Pretty good but not for me

Overall this is a strong short drama. It is better than most short dramas both in production value and the care with which the story is crafted.

Side note: I came here for Wang Xue Xi but she is not a large part of this drama.

The best parts of this drama are sidequests showing women living in this world. It is handled with nuance and heart. While this drama is pretty feminist, the characters are not just flat caricatures used to make a point; they are more realistic and vibrantly living their lives regardless of the struggles that are also being portrayed. Keeping that element -- people finding joy in the little things -- while also portraying an unjust system, is a level of nuance that even larger productions fail to explore.

However, I ended up skimming the remaining episodes and dropping this mainly because the main romance fails to distinguish itself from being enemies to lovers tropes. In general I don't like that trope, and this very much portrays a jerk ML who is supposedly "not that bad" but actually he is, yall just horny for jerkheads :( I mean, enjoy if that is your thing, but this is not for me.

So complex that it'll make your head spin

This drama has all the makings to be a great story. A-list cast with well-rounded characters and mega-fantasy storyline that already hooks the audience. This went entirely downhill because the setup was simply too perfect. In the effort to be and do everything, it all got lost in translation.

A handsome king coming from another world to see his savior police woman? Chemistry thrown down the trash over emphasis on the complexities of parallel world intricacies, hidden murderous uncle, and time travel. There was no patience for the director to guide the audience through what was happening and everything was being thrown at you in the name of shock value.

Overall, a hard watch with the over-complicated, layered plot that kept building to a unsatisfying and boring ending.
