THE BEST KOREAN BL

For me, the best Korean BL.

I find the story idea cool, that Tae Myung Ha is brought into a game where he's young again and has to make Cha Yeo Woon happy again. Along the way, he has to complete several tasks and make decisions, which broke his heart multiple times.

The whole setup of the story is well-executed, and it's only at the end that everything is resolved. With the plot twist that Yeo Woon actually embodies him in his previous life, sort of. (I still haven't fully understood whether he's living a new life or still the same). Ultimately, he helped himself to be happy again and found a wonderful love in the process.

I'm generally a big fan of such "unusual" stories. Overall, it's a mega BL.

Jazz for Love

Where do I even begin? I think this is one of the top 3 Korean BLs out there. Everything about it is just fantastic.

I love the character of Han Tae Yi so much. He doesn't want to like Yoon Se Heon, but still cares for him, especially at the beginning. When he couldn't admit to himself that he loves it when Soheon plays the piano, especially because the song reminds him of his brother. I completely understand why he reacted that way at first. It's also just incredibly cute to see how their love developed, especially the struggle Taeyi had. Deep down, he already knew he loved him, but his mind kept saying no.

And the story between Seo Do Yoon and Song Joo Ha is just lovely. I hope they get their own BL because I don't think I'm alone in believing that they ended up together. Their story has so much potential.

All in all, I just love this BL. Everything about it was just right.

A great second season with a different Fil.

When I started this show, I had no idea that Go Youn Jung was going to be the new lead, And I'm glad they did it. I was hoping they'd do it as well since this really hasn't been done before.

What can I say? As good as the first season which is rare and they pulled of having a new female lead very well.

Go Youn Jung was just incredible, Both her and Jung So min did so well with the same character and I don't know who I like more.

I do think this story was a little weaker than the first season but other than that, An Incredible end to a great show.

My favourite Drama

This is the best drama that I've seen, From the story, Characters, Acting, Visuals, Everything was great.
It's not the type of show I'd watch but decided to give it a go and it was incredible.

I saw Lee Jae Wook in Do Do So So La La Sol and thought he was very good so I was expecting big things from him in this show and he killed it.

The whole cast and side characters are some of the best I've seen in shows, The visuals and fight scenes were done really well.

I highly recommend this show to anyone, It's a light hearted show with comedy, great fighting and a great story.

A decent drama but I expected a lot more

The premise of the show is good, I was really excited for it.

The show is decent, Towards the end the story imo started to get worst. I wasn't a fan of the ending at all.

The casting for the show was good, Kaku Kento is my favourite Japanese actor right now and he was great, I've really only ever saw him in more comedic roles so this was a nice change.

The best thing about this show is the soundtrack.
This was the best soundtrack I've heard for a drama, Whoever decided to choose the songs from the 60s by some legendary artists did such an incredible job.

AMAZING, EMOTIONAL

This was an absolute delight to watch. Congratulations to the writer, what a great storyline. As expected, Kim Soo Hyun was phenomenal in his performance. I now have become a fan of Kim Ji Won, she was outstanding in her role. I was really happy to see Kwak Dong Yeon in this drama. He is a great actor and very handsome. The drama was funny, emotional, and brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the emotions of the drama thru the exceptional performance of the actors. Thank you, Kim Soo Hyun and all of the other actors for the hard work put into this work. The real fans are very appreciative. This is definitely a drama that will be watched & rewatched for years to come.

Zhou Yutong disappointed me..!

Acting is great but Fl's character is confusing and annoying..! At start she started off like she is an independent woman but later on her obsession towards Shanghai..,to me it seemed disgusting..! and Li Xian is Brilliant as always..! Chen Nai Nai and Lin Nai nai's Sisterly bond is As Pure as Coconut water 😇 their Sismance is Divine ✨..! And here comes the reason why i watched this drama..! eventhough Zhou Yutong is used to be one of my favourites, But I worship Wanpeng..! she is my goddess..! starting from "My Girlfriend is an alien" .! i especially checked the cast and Later found out my goddess and immediately started watching this one..! she is such a cutie, elegant, and Most beautiful actress ever..! I'm crazyily in love with her 😍😍😍 Her Bff bond with Zhou yutong is also a Visual Treat.! and He Niao Niao is the cutest of all the Characters inside the drama.!

Wow!!! A drama that should not be missed♥

Wow!!! A drama that should not be missed even though it is already a decade old.
It's a perfect drama, it's been praised here in the past over the years, (a decade!!) and I thought to myself what can I do to innovate and still express my opinion..so what doesn't/does it have that makes it so good, successful and addicting. (Full disclosure, I did not read all the comments)
There is no trace of evil/corruption/chaebol vs middle class/jealousy or a love triangle to be fought over (as is customary in classic dramas)
It has beyond perfect casting and talented and beautiful actors who are so natural and not made up on a plastic level) depth, witty texts, wise sayings, it has healing and recovery, unconditional love between spouses and friends, inclusion, openness in the discourse about sexuality/love/traumas/health mental/sacrificing. I cried more in it than in Queen of Tears (Don't Kill Me), (it's in the style of "Kill me, heal me", "Hyde Jackal, I", "It's okay not to be okay") Don't panic, It also has funny (witty) parts. 10/10 and if possible even more..

It is not at all interesting for some viewers

"Walk With You" may be a mini drama, but it leaves a lasting impression. While the storyline doesn't offer anything particularly new, it still managed to capture my interest. The plot revolves around a girl seeking revenge for her family, who enters the king's palace in disguise.

One unique aspect of the story is that the protagonist becomes aggressive when she inhales the scent of musk. However, despite the somewhat familiar plot, I found myself drawn to the drama.

Perhaps it was the exceptional acting of the cast or the chemistry between the leads that made it so engaging.

A superb romance drama produced by adults for adults

In a sea of samey idol dramas, this series stood out for all the right reasons.

The leads are good actors who are charismatic and handsome in their own way. Their chemistry is off the chart. They are madly in love with each other, and it shows. There is a good deal of skinship that feels natural and spontaneous. They can be playful or serious but we are never in doubt about their love. It just feels . . right.

This show is grounded in reality as well. The ML's work in a funeral parlour doesn’t leave much room for glitz and glam. What we get are spontaneity and home truths. The dead relies on him to preserve their dignity as they shuffle off this mortal coil. A mistake of split second could mean life or death. Those stories can be challenging and some will leave an lasting impression. As such, this is not for everyone. While the show handles such passings and their aftermath with aplomb, the stories are mostly maudlin. Anyone who is sensitive to such storylines should make an informed decision.

On the other hand, the writer balanced these low points with the OTP’s love line. There is no syrupy, rainbows and unicorns moments but just real people looking for love and needing to love. Instead of poor communications and misunderstanding at every turn. Our CP talk about everything. Some of their dialogue is raw but you can't deny their heartfelt sincerity.

They both know they have baggage but they are willing to work to overcome them. Once they are a couple, they have no qualm about PDA. It can be a little awkward for the residents of the small town but it is delicious and we bask in their pink glow.

Of course, our OTP face challenges, but the most important thing is that they behave like adults. They sulk and say harsh words which they will regret. However, they do acknowledge their mistakes and try to right their wrongs. It doesn’t always lead to a simple resolution but when the stars are aligned, we get fireworks!

I have already mentioned the top-notch performances from our leads but it also boast a strong support cast. I'm really impressed with the young actor playing the role of the FL's sister. She has great potential and I'll keep an eye out for her in future dramas.

I'd highly recommend this drama for true fans of romance dramas. It doesn’t have a parade of young and beautiful idols but it more than compensates for that with quality performances and depth in the storytelling that will resonate with mature audiences. It is not for everyone but if you can handle the weightier subjects then you will find a heartwarming, realistic and swoon-worthy drama. It has a permanent place in my re-watch list.

I am so incredibly lost it's not even funny

Maybe I missed something, or the series is supposed to be this way, but I've never been so confused while watching a series. I genuinely had no fucking clue what was going on for like 80% of the runtime. I like taking notes while watching series, and for this one I wrote down "what is going on" like twenty times. I'm not even kidding.

The thing is, this is a SHORT series. So much so that I finished ep 5 and thought there were still a few more to come. Only today did I realize that it is, in fact, over. Which means that the confusion I felt at the beginning doesn't feel justified. At all.

Firstly, it's impossible for me to guess what the relationship between the two main leads is. Are they family friends? Family? Old friends who fell apart? Literally no idea. Between this and the constant flashbacks to their interactions in the past (which aren't explained either), I was a mess trying to put together a coherent storyline to follow. There's so much angst between them, and you as the audience don't know why that is. There's also a messy af dad in there somewhere, God knows why or how or anything, and I literally didn't care because I just met this man an episode ago?? Idk I'm still mad.

The last episode was the only one I felt like I understood some things. The drama was ok and understandable, and the tension between them when he kicked him out of the apartment was well built. The last kiss with the plausible deniability (closing his eyes so they can both pretend it never happened) was sad but also well done.

But like... that's it? I feel like this didn't have a plot at all, and not in a good way. I'd also like to add that that first kiss was so underwhelming it actually made me laugh. It's not that it was awkward -which it was, but first kisses tend to be awkward-, it's that neither of them moved or did anything other that just stand there with their faces pressed against each other's.

So, yeah. Kind of a meh series. It's not necessarily problematic, that's why it's not getting less than a 5, but I wouldn't watch it again.
