Worth a chance but remember, this is going to be about the worst job ever!

This was an interesting journey. I ended it on a positive note, but I still found myself quite against most of the couples in the drama.


The romance between Ming and Joe has numerous issues. Let’s not kid ourselves. Ming even handcuffs Joe to a staircase at one point – and not in a fun way! However, I appreciated how they learned to communicate with each other instead of making assumptions and hoping for the best. The growth both Ming and Joe go through throughout the story is also, for a lack of a better expression, kind of heart-warming – these are all positive signs for their future as couple.


It was also very cathartic to watch Tong get what he deserved. I was cheering when he got, quite literally, kicked to the curb! Power to May, let’s go!

Sol deserved better, but his constant interventions were off-putting. Like, move on, my guy! He clearly doesn’t want you, and you’re better off without him.


In a way, I think this show effectively illustrates that rebounding or finding a ‘stand-in’ to fill the void of unrequired love ends up hurting everyone involved rather than solving the existing problem. Ming should have tried to move on instead of pursuing Joe. (Him finding out the actual truth behind Tong’s signature back poster was, perhaps, the BEST part of this drama, not going to lie.)


It also presents a compelling argument about how people exploit someone's naivety and kindness for their own gain, and the consequences that follow.


Overall, I think it’s a worthwhile drama to watch. I wouldn’t rush to see it, but I also wouldn’t skip it. The acting is good, the characters’ interactions are entertaining, and the premise holds an important message.

4 minutes to redemption

I really enjoyed this, although I was a bit disappointed that the ending was somewhat open and didn’t feel like a proper conclusion. It honestly seemed like they either ran out of time to film or out of story to tell.


However, I thought the acting was good, and the whole concept surrounding the 4 minutes, and its significance, was executed really well. It might come off as confusing at times (I certainly felt that way), but if you trust the process and stick with it until the end, everything about what happened to Great and the people around him is clarified.


Be aware that there’s a fair amount of gore and spice/intense moments in this, so if that's not your thing, you might want to consider that before diving in.


Otherwise, I had a great time (pun fully intended, lol!)

A good parallel to UWMA and a deep dive into one’s emotions

I ran, and I mean RAN, to watch this when I found out it existed!


WinTeam has my whole heart. I fell in love with them in the main story, so I was really excited to watch this. BounPerm have great chemistry, and I loved their relationship development as they transitioned from friends-with-benefits to actual lovers.


I also enjoyed the small glimpses of the main timeline in UWMA, with Dean and Pharm falling in love in the background and a deeper exploration of Pruk and Manow’s relationship. Additionally, I was thrilled to see couples like TulWaan and BeePrince introduced; they brought me so much joy!


Seeing Santa as Boun’s baby brother was also incredibly wholesome – he's so cute!


Overall, this is definitely worth watching, even if you prefer how the story evolved in UWMA. While it may not do justice to the original, it’s no longer focused on them. If you can let go of that, you’ll find it quite enjoyable.

The red string of fate

I have no words. There’s so much to unpack in this drama – star-crossed lovers, connection through the red string of fate, and a deep dive into the adversity and challenges that gay men have faced and continue to face over the years. I cried my eyes out, especially in the opening scene with InTouch and Korn, and throughout episodes 15 to 17. It was painful, heartbreaking, and beautiful all at once.


The reason I didn’t rate it higher is that I wasn’t connecting with the main couple. Pharm looked uncomfortable ALL the time, even in non-intimate scenes where they were simply looking into each other’s eyes. Dean, unfortunately, seemed to lack any personality whatsoever. I felt like they wouldn’t have ended up together (given that they had nothing in common) if it weren’t for InTouch and Korn’s connection.


Team and Win were my favourites, to be honest. Their relationship was brief on screen, but I felt a greater connection from their few minutes together than I did with Dean and Pharm’s entire storyline. I also appreciated how Manow and Pruk were included in the story. Their relationship felt organic and really wholesome, rather than being just a token straight couple.


Lastly, InTouch and Korn… what can I even say about these boys? Every moment between them was a mix of wholesomeness and heartbreak. They experienced happiness (albeit short-lived), sadness, frustration, understanding, and vulnerability – all these emotions were beautifully portrayed by the actors. I think I had tears in my eyes during every scene because I knew how their story would end.


And the OSTs! An instant addition to my playlist – they were so good, so emotional, and so raw. They set a beautifully tragic tone for these characters.


Overall, I believe this is a truly great drama that everyone should experience at least once in their life.

(Im)Perfect 10 Liners

This was really cute! I also appreciated the format of the series, which combines three stories into 24 episodes (with 11-12 episodes each). This allows you to either binge-watch the entire series or take breaks and intersperse it with other shows if you prefer. It’s refreshing and reduces the pressure to watch everything at once, especially if long series aren't your thing.


Arc and Arm were adorable together, featuring a slight rivals-to-lovers premise. ForceBook are always a joy to watch; they bring fun and good vibes to every series they star in. I also enjoyed seeing Arm’s character development as he grows from his first to second year.


Yotha and Gun's storyline had more depth and significantly more drama. I didn't appreciate most of Yotha's actions in his part of the story, but I understand that his behavior is influenced by his upbringing and the way his first love unfolded. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t dislike him (I think it’s hard for me to feel negatively about anything associated with Perth!). I just wish he had made different choices. Additionally, I liked how the story involving Yotha, Faifa, and their family issues was developed – that was a good, compelling arc that had a wholesome conclusion.


Lastly, Faifa and Wine brought me joy throughout their story. The slow burn, the yearning, and the connection between them were simply wonderful, and I enjoyed watching Faifa grow into himself.


Overall, this is a good, albeit typical, GMMTV university drama.

Healthy enemies-to-lovers

Oh man, this was incredible! The story, the tension, the relationships, the chemistry between the main leads, the soundtrack, the actors – all of it was so well-crafted and directed that it was truly enjoyable for the viewer.


I wouldn’t change anything about how the action developed. The transition from enemies/rivals to lovers felt seamless, with little to no awkwardness between the main leads. This fluidity only made it more enjoyable to watch, as it allowed me to fully immerse myself in their journey.


Someone described this as a ‘breath of fresh air,’ and I completely agree! It wasn’t just entertaining; it felt genuine, almost as if I were witnessing two close friends navigate the complexities of love. It made the whole experience more relatable and heartwarming.


So, overall, I definitely recommend this drama!

Questionable relationship with a happy ending

This series is good – nothing too complex or deep, but fun to watch. You kind of have to turn off your brain to truly appreciate it, as the writing leaves something to be desired. However, once you do that, it can be quite enjoyable.


I wasn’t a fan of the intern-CEO relationship at first. I’m always cautious about these dynamics, both in series and in real life, because of the power imbalance they can create. However, Gun and Cher didn’t really suffer from this; Gun never used his position to take advantage, and Cher didn’t try to manipulate his boss for personal gain. They felt somewhat like equals, which was refreshing, even if it was a bit unrealistic. In the end, I think it worked out nicely.


I also appreciated that there was already an established gay relationship in the series. It’s amusing how often the only gay relationships in dramas are between the main leads and are framed as being ‘discovered’ or ‘re-discovered,’ rather than being shown as preexisting.


Finally, I think ForceBook have good chemistry, but unfortunately, I didn’t feel much romantic tension between them in this series. I loved their dynamic, but it felt more like they were close friends than lovers.


Overall, I think it’s worth watching. It’s a great way to pass the time – the pacing is decent, so you don’t get bored, and the characters make it fun.

Sweetness overload (but with a few sour notes)

When I first watched this series, I thought it was incredibly sweet. The plot had good pacing and featured engaging side characters. Not only did I love ThomasKong, but I also adored TeeTee, Por, Save, and AuAu. This entire cast is a gem, honestly.

If you enjoy fluff-filled storylines with overly cute boys paired with young, rich CEOs, then you'll find this drama quite enjoyable, as it sets everything up very well.


However, I think the sweetness overload I initially experienced made me overlook a few shortcomings, such as Teerak's childish behaviour. I didn’t realize how annoyed I was with his dramatics until I re-watched the series and couldn’t get past them. I understand he’s supposed to be a young adult in his early twenties, maybe even still in his teens, discovering love and the world for the first time – however, that’s no excuse to baby this character.


I guess the intention was to make him adorable and cutesy, but Kong is around 6 feet tall! It felt off-putting to see a grown-looking man acting like a child. I’m not blaming the actor; I simply think the directors could have taken a different approach with his character. I also didn’t like how they portrayed his kind traits and generosity, which essentially turned him into a doormat. Yes, when you’re too nice and try to please everyone, people will take advantage. But Teerak simply didn’t have a backbone to stand on.


On the other hand, Thomas’ character, Muenfah, was good but slightly unrealistic. The fact that he excelled at almost everything – running a business, maintaining good grades, being a supportive partner, and managing extracurricular activities – felt like too much! This boy is only twenty-one; he’s not a machine.


Lastly, the coming-out scene stood out to me. I appreciated how they portrayed a somewhat realistic homophobic situation, like when the dad watches BL series but is against his son dating a boy. As the scene unfolded, my heart ached because I could predict what was about to happen. Unfortunately, it escalated into an almost violent confrontation, with everyone rallying around Teerak while Muenfah was effectively kicked out of the house and left alone for the night. Are we kidding?! I kept thinking, “Is nobody going to check on him?”

I understand that Teerak is the more immature of the two and likely needs more support in this scenario, but Dom and Babe were also Fah’s friends. Seeing him cry afterward made me so angry! My poor baby was suffering alone while still having the maturity to check in with his boyfriend to ensure he was okay.


Overall, though, I think the series is good. It features some really delightful scenes (as well as a few steamy ones), and the second and third couples are so wholesome to watch!

THIS DIRECTOR IS ONE OF THE BEST I SWEAR

This drama is the best of 2026 , I know we aren't even halfway into 2026 but god I swear this is epitome of perfection. The acting , storyline , cinematography and direction is just top notch . As much as the actors ,I personally give the credits to storywriter and director .I have watched blossom so I somewhat knew I could expect something great from this director and he cooked , served and ate . I seriously don't have habit of re-watching dramas , the last I did was ' when I fly towards you ' and this might as well be the first and last historical drama I have rewatched . I love how meticulously the actors face expression are used , like zhang Linghe he can't really complex expression involving face muscles without looking a little over the top like anger but his eyes works magic , he can look in love with just one glance and in anger with next . His eyes were used so well with micro expression that really suits him . Even the styling was perfect , in kunning palace I hated his styling but here it was perfect . For Tian Xiwei , she pulls cute and cocky roles very well and fan chanyu was the perfect mix . A must watch , not even one boring episode . You know a story is well written when you hate no character at the end but feel pity cause you somewhat understand the way they behave . The support actors did a really good job too . Thank you for a masterpiece !!!

You are an Ace but if FL comes you are a loser

It was such a treat to watch Fangyu before she got to know Marquis Wu'an's identity. She was a relatable character. After that her character took a nose dive. So much so that at one point I wanted that Xie Juiheng to either be single or get into relationship with some one else. Writers thought to add all the points for which generally all ML are criticised (habit of thinking they know best and deciding for others) and added into Changyu's character. For someone, who was eagerly waiting for her character growth, this was simply dissapointment. Of course, it's not chinese FL if two or more people are not in love with her. It's my bad, I forgot title of the drama is Pursuit of jade. Since Changyu is jade, everyone is supposed to pursue her.
I never understood where her attitude was coming from.
One more thing: what's with FLs slapping ML whenever they want. If she is hurt by his lies, he should be equally upset with her for her hiding her father's identity. Otherwise, there is no equality.

An absolute masterpiece

I am at a loss for words. The action, the slow burn, the second chance/redemption romance, the yearning – everything about it was incredible. The production quality was outstanding, and the chemistry between the characters kept me hooked and engaged throughout. It was exactly what I needed.


Yin and War did such an amazing job, and I’m thrilled that I got into this! There’s something truly beautiful about Jack and Joke’s relationship. The way they kept coming back to each other, despite everything they went through together and apart, made it so easy for me to love them. They continually fought for their love, their dreams, and their life together, which was genuinely heartwarming to watch.


I can’t forget the secondary characters either; I ended up loving all of them! Tattoo, Aran, and Hoy were such fun to watch, and I was really pleased to see Hope redeemed because I was hoping for a happy ending for him and Save. I also appreciated that they didn’t tarnish Rose’s character – she remained genuine and good-hearted, even after Jack rejected her. I love that she stayed around to support the community!


Finally, I appreciated how deeply they explored heavy themes like wealth disparity, inequality, family expectations, and identity crises without dumbing it down or being overly preachy. This added much more depth to the story than if they had approached it in a dramatic way.


Overall, I had a fantastic time watching this series. I laughed and cried – sometimes at the same time – and I felt incredibly sad when it ended. I will definitely rewatch it over and over again!

Good start, disappointed ending

I was initially excited to watch more dramas featuring JoongDunk because I enjoyed their roles in SIMM. However, I’m sad to say that I felt disappointed by the end.


Firstly, the fight between Zo and Joke after they resolved the stalker storyline felt unnecessary. I would have preferred if they had continued that arc, as the stalker could have created more drama and it would’ve felt more organic, rather than focusing on Zo being upset about his friends setting him up (which is something everyone experiences at some point).


Secondly, did anyone else feel that the relationship was somewhat one-sided? It seemed like Joke put in most of the effort, which honestly put me off. What’s the point of calling it a romance if there’s little to no romance present?


Lastly, I have to admit that I lost interest in the plot after a while. I wasn’t really invested in the story itself; I was mainly there for the JoongDunk scenes, and even those left me feeling somewhat unfulfilled.


Overall, I believe this series had a lot of potential and I did enjoy the beginning. However, by the end, it didn’t meet my expectations.

A total eclipse of the heart

I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I often find high school dramas a bit boring or cringeworthy, so I approach them with some hesitation. However, this one was really good!


I enjoyed the romance and the storyline, which carried a deeper message about fighting against a biased system and struggling under the weight of others' expectations – as well as questioning your entire identity at the prime age of 15 or 16 (lol)


I appreciated that they didn't shy away from showing the darker aspects of giving too much power to young people without the necessary guidance. Issues like bullying, suicide, and violence are often trivialized or glossed over in media that promotes happy endings, so I was pleasantly surprised that GMMTV chose to tackle these topics somewhat seriously.


The chemistry between First and Khaotung was incredible. They conveyed a wide range of emotions beautifully – everything from frustration to vulnerability, and from hate to love. I was hooked on their dynamic from the very start.


Although the plot does become a bit convoluted once the characters get together, and I had to scramble to get back on track, I found it didn’t detract from my experience. Maybe it was because I was so hopeful for a happy ending for these characters.


Overall, I highly recommend this series!

Countryside enemies to lovers

This drama was sweet but dragged a bit, especially in the beginning. With only eight episodes, I expected the pacing to be quicker. The fight in the third act also felt unnecessary, particularly because, after everything the characters had been through, it seemed pointless for it to happen.


I wasn’t a fan of the male lead, Khuafah. While I understand he was supposedly heartbroken, that doesn’t excuse his rude and snobbish behaviour towards everyone, including his friends.


On the positive side, I think this drama handled the enemies-to-lovers trope quite well. It wasn’t overly dramatic, and instead, it simply brought together two people with different aspirations and personalities, allowing them to gradually fall in love.


So, in the end, I thought it was a cute short drama that helped to pass the time.

A multi-verse love story

This story was adorable. I found the multi-verse aspect of the plot to be well executed, and the chemistry between the characters was good as well. JimmySea are truly a gem!

While the action was a bit slow, it wasn’t slow enough to feel boring. The characters took their time to discover themselves and their surroundings, which added to the charm of the story.


Overall, I really enjoyed it. Sometimes, a feel-good, simple love story is all you need to brighten your day. Vice Versa provided that – it struck the perfect balance, neither too much nor too little. Just enough!
