Reviews

Came for the plot, stayed for the trainwreck (and the spice).

Proof that forgiving a toxic rapist in a dark BL fantasy is somehow more believable to watch than forgiving a cheating partner who lies to your face. Watch it strictly for the Bootleg Vegas and Peter and the heavy spice - ignore the main plot completely.

​The Good: High spice, solid physical chemistry, and non-con/bondage dynamics that actually deliver if you're looking for dark romance. The side couple stole the entire show - they are pure "Temu VegasPete," but their toxic trajectory was the only reason to finish this.

​The Bad: The main storyline is infuriating. The show expects us to accept full-on infidelity and a rushed forgiveness arc like it’s no big deal. The writing, logic, and production values completely break down, and that mid-credits cliffhanger showed a lot of unearned confidence for a Season 2.

This series is everything i didn't want.

I didn't have high expectations for the series (and the novel).
Since it's Omegaverse, I would have been grateful for just the "bare minimum" a simple, cliché story would have been fine but no, there isn't really a story here at all. Absolutely nothing happens. The serie explains the mechanics of the Omegaverse, but it lacks a plot, it essentially a story of their days at home or at the café.

Nakhun is a character who doesn't change; in fact, he is getting worse with every episode. He doesn't apologize for what he’s done, nor does he care about Phatsa; he just works, eats, gives orders, spends money on him, and repeats the routine the next day. He wants a baby, yet he barely has a relationship with Phatsa. Phatsa is angry, but he doesn't ask him why or how he can help; instead, he gives him a few affectionate strokes and tells him to come home with him. He does absolutely nothing to try to get to know Phatsa better! his tastes, his hobbies, his friends, or his family... absolutely nothing. He bit him and takes responsibility only for that; he does nothing beyond that, and if he does act, it is solely due to the effects the bite has on both him and Phatsa. Sure, he is affectionate and seems to care about him, but he does absolutely nothing to show it. He is a shallow, one-dimensional character.

Phatsa is completely irresponsible; that might have been okay at the start, but as the story progresses, he just lets things slide, and it makes less and less sense. Everyone tells him what to do, but never why, and he accepts it all without thinking too much about it. The only points in his favor are his initiative: he gets bitten and goes to live with Nakhun; he is unable to work so he agrees to help out around the house, he wants to see his friends but is forced to return home early. He's trying but with all the other characters that stand in his way, there isn't much he can actually decide to do.

The rest of the family is just flat characters lacking depth; they are poorly written characters who show no growth or initiative.

The only "plot elements" in this story involve the father trying to figure out who the pure omega is, and the attacks on the family, yet even these aren't explored properly.

It’s true that i didn't have high expectations, but this doesn't even meet the bare minimum.

It’s a one-time watch for me, but an enjoyable one.

The drama is good and fun to watch. But when you dig into it, it shows why age-gap relationships realistically don't work. He has a hard time with childish and "unreasonable" things that the FL did because she is young. One line really brings this home: he asks her "to be logical," but in her reality she was acting logically because when you are 21, your ideas and feelings are very different, and much more intense, from when you are 25, much less 36, like the ML. Other than that, it is a good drama with a realistic yet admirable love story.

Zhao Lusi is such a star for a reason, and when I go back and watch her older dramas, like this one, for the first time, I understand how she became the star she is.

It’s a one-time watch for me, but an enjoyable one.

Everything good exept the romanec (if you leave out most of the scenes it's good) :)))

Okay so I really liked the serious scenes and the plot that wasn't romance. The deep dive into Baek Sang-il backstory in the last episodes was so interesting and that scene where he held Kang Tae-ha for the first time broke my heart. ( He is still not a good person but I can't help but wonder what would have happend if he decided differently back then.) As for the Romance it was too much for me and it really didn't go well with the rest of the plot. Like you'd have a cute scene between the Leads and then CUT brutal torture or something. The mood shifted too fast and drastically if you know what I mean.
As for the characters this whole Taffy Village was a bit too wholesome and soft for my taste. At some point it got too clichee. What I'm really sad about is the character development of the leads. In the Beginning both of them were super badass and then in the ending they were constantly staring at each other with puppy eyes. I was actually excited to see Jung Hae-in in a role that wasn't all sunshine and rainbows like love next door but in the end it just got ridiculous. And I don't mean their acting, that was pretty good but the script was just really not that good. The FL was supposed to be some hotshot prosecutor but in the end she was just annoying and clingy.

The Almost Perfect Rom-Com Show

I have a lot of great words for this show. Some bad. I've rewatched it in full probably three times, but rewatched parts/certain stories more. I love how even though we had three 'set' story lines, we still saw all three couples evenly throughout the whole series. Let me get down and dirty with this. I broke them into three stories and graded each one. And more spoilers for story 2 and 3, but I tried to keep it vague.

Story 1: ArcArm (ForceBook) - 9/10
A perfect story to 'start' us on. Not a lot of angst, but it had enough to ease watchers into it. Had great comedic timing and the friend group was hilarious. Book really dove into his character and was hilarious. I laughed a lot at his lines. Maybe a bit of a stretch, but Force could've shown a biiit more facial emotion in some scenes, but I found it fitting for his character. And once we got more into the series, the character changed to be more relaxed, and we saw more emotion, so I didn't really mind. Though his 'jealousy' arc was hilarious and he pulled that part off very well.

I'd say the only big downside was the side couple, PondSand. This might be more my opinion, but I feel like I couldn't connect with Marc's emotions at all while Poon was doing all the hard work for both of them. They seemed unbalanced in their scenes, and their time together seemed either too rushed or too slow. (I did watch this before their separation as a pairing, but once they announced it, I was not surprised. They just didn't seem to connect well in my opinion.) I do appreciate that it gave us a break from the main couple and also provided more comedy for JJ. Having JJ as Po was just *chef's kiss* perfection! He made me laugh so much.


Story 2: YothaGun (PerthSanta) - 6/10
So, for starters, this was their first story as a pair. I could not tell for the life of me! Honestly, GMMTV did wonders adding Santa in the mix because I could not see anyone else be Gun. He did an amazing job. That being said, I do not like how their story ended. I feel like the slow burn was really good. We saw Yotha slowly understand his feelings. But I have a major bone to pick with this couple. First, they sped through Gun's trauma way too fast. I feel like if they had better wording, I'd give it a pass. But you cannot be cured of trauma in one day... If they said something like 'it helped me to (major spoiler here), and I think it will help me further on,' I would feel way better. Also, "I don't know" is NOT a yes!. That is not consent! Major points deducted because of this!
- Though as the story progresses, I do find it adorable how much Yotha changed with his love for Gun. So, I added some points for cuteness -

Now, the side couple, KlaoWarich. Their story had the same issue as story one, where there just didn't seem to be enough time for them. But they did pretty well with the timing. The back and forth was a bit repetitive, but I also understand. AouBoom are always a given for side couples because they nail their chemistry. (can't wait for them to show what they can do in their first main pairing show!) That being said, having the end of the series was a bit of a stretch in my opinion. The flip of character seemed a stretch too. Though I can understand some people do change like that (*cough*Yotha*cough*), so it is a bit forgivable. I'd take their side story over PondSand.


Story 3: FaifaWine (JuniorMark) - 10/10
I will not lie, this is my favorite story. My reason? Did you WATCH the series?! They were dating since story one, and they were just too blind to see. This was their second paired series, so I could tell these two felt more comfortable with each other. Junior did amazing as Faifa. I could write a whole essay about his acting. The constant tiredness and disappointment he showed was so heartbreaking. Mark improved since his role in Cherry Magic, but still had a scene here or there that was off, but very minor. Broken souls mending together in love. Very well done story. I rewatch their story the most because of how giddy it makes me feel.

Their 'side couples' were both the previous couples. I thought that was a cute way to keep watchers informed about how the previous pairings were doing, as well as keeping the timeline feel real. Having Arc be away made way for Arm to have a reason to ask Wine to come to the beach. Showing the progression of YothaGun with Faifa (like them doing the star show? or whatever it was called) and having 'brotherly' love shown. Only complaint was that we had a little bit too much catching up in one of the episodes. I think one half of an episode was us catching up with the two couples and also PondSand randomly. So it broke us away from FaifaWine and then threw us right back in. Buuuut I do like that they stayed consistent with the timeline so that it felt like actual time passed.

- Also, some minor points were taken off because Yotha and Fai's mom's story did not make any sense to me but was needed for story 3 more than story 2 -

The best series I have watched so far

I genuinely cannot stop talking and this series. The Acting, Story, Screenplay, Storytelling, Direction everything is on point. Chang Yang is greenest green flag you’ll ever see. I personally did not like the second couple’s story that much but Chang Yang and Qing Lang are the best. This story talks about love, life and death in a very unique way than other any other drama I’ve watched till now. I have seen a lot of people giving bd reviews after a certain incident in ep13 but in my opinion that is what the story is about, true love is always raw and if you are someone who only expects happy endings for all stories it isn’t for you. I wanna say this to main cast Jingyu and Kuma - You guys fucking amazing keep up the good work guys. This story is written for you. Love

BoP was better than I thought

This drama had me coming back for more. He held my attention to the end. The storyline was reformulated but still good. There were so many intertwined stories that came together at the end.

I enjoyed BOP mainly due to He Yu, the ML who was also in "Speed and Love" with Easter Yu. His portrayal of a weak, frail prince due to being poisoned at the age of 4, then transforming into the mysterious hero with top notch fighting skills was thrilling to watch. You can't help but fall in love with him in this role. Another great performance under his belt.

I 'm not a fan of Meng Ziyi, and she did not disappoint. She continued with her same stoic, one-dimensional character just like in "The Untamed" and the other drama she stars in. She needs to be more versatile in her acting. Her love scenes were one of the worse that I have ever seen. Her kisses are like a mannequin, no movement or passion. The ML had to do all the work she just stood there with her head tilted, lips frozen and no emotion. It was like watching someone pour tea.

On a positive note, I have to hand it to Meng in her husband's death scene she really delivered, that had me bawling. The other touching scene was the ML's bodyguard, when he receives the box with the handkerchief. Very touching. Xiao Chang Qing / Prince Xin 5 who knew she carried his dead wife's spirit really played his role as a broken, possessive, obsessed man that did the ultimate sacrifice for her.

There were a lot of male eye candy. like Lai Wei Ming who starred in "Shine on me" in a supporting role. He was also the jilted love interested to the FL. He played that same role in BoP. They should cast him as the lead more; he has the depth and skills to carry it off.

I was so happy they added Special episode 37. I just wished they would have explained how the ML got out of the coffin and why his physician looked like he had one foot in the grave after his 4yr treatment.

OUR STICKY LOVE!

First of all, I enjoyed the pairing of Ha Young and Jung Hae-in, major props for Ha Young as she act very well for her character. There's nothing much of a dull moment for me in this drama, I rarely skipped most of the scenes unlike the other dramas I have watched. Finale was a rollercoaster of emotions, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Also, shoutout to the popular guest appearances: Lee Jun-young (Reborn Rookie) - Kaito, Song Geon-hee (Lovely Runner) - Young Baek Sang-gil, Choi Dae-hoon (The WonderFools, Agent Kim Reactivated) - the doctor in the 1st episode. The action scenes were enjoyable as well, Jung Hae-in looks like a badass.

Do not watch unless you want to be confuse, and waste your time.

This movie I went in with high exception, the acting part of the movie was good. 1 hour into the movie then it start to pick up. The first hour of the movie was just slop. Then the main character the dad made the dumbest decision that made no sense. After that 1 hour it pick up, then it never explain anything and it full of loophole as it never answer anything, in the show, also you would not understand anything unless you have watch other k-horror show, or have a understand of shaman. Also has random twists that does not make sense. The acting was top notch by the little girl.
A complete waste of time.

FINISHED THE EDGE OF HORIZON — EPISODES 1–11 ??

Wow. I genuinely don’t know how to put into words how much this series got to me.

When I first started The Edge of Horizon, I honestly thought I was just going to watch a historical BL. I did NOT expect to become this emotionally invested in these characters, their story, and the entire world they built around them.

Every episode had its own redeeming quality, and I really have to commend the entire cast. Every actor managed to steal their scenes. No one felt like they was just there to fill space. Every character had a purpose, every emotion landed, and when the tears came… THEY CAME. 😭 The crying scenes, especially, were delivered so beautifully that sometimes I found myself tearing up before I even realized it.

And the acting? SO GOOD.

The expressions, the little pauses, the way they look at each other… there were so many moments where the characters didn't even need to say anything because their eyes were already telling the entire story. The emotions felt raw, intimate, and convincing. Inn and Ongsa especially made me feel like I was experiencing their emotions right alongside them. Their chemistry is honestly something else. 🥹

I also have to mention the script. There were moments that really stayed with me, and I loved how the story allowed the characters' emotions to breathe. Even with all the heartbreak, conflict, and suffering, there was something so beautiful about watching these characters continue to choose, understand, and fight for each other.

I know some people might find the color grading a little too bright and modern for a story set in 1932, and I did notice it too. But surprisingly, it never pulled me out of the story. The performances and the emotional weight of the narrative were strong enough that I quickly stopped thinking about it.

If I have one major wish, though, it's that I wish they had been given a bigger budget for the war scenes. 😭 I would have loved to see the scale and intensity of those moments fully realized because the story deserved it.

But honestly?

This is still one of the BEST BL period dramas I've watched.

I came in expecting a historical BL and left emotionally attached to two men, their love story, their friends, their struggles, their entire world… and probably my sanity. 😭🥹

And now that I've finished all 11 episodes, I can confidently say: every episode gave me something to remember.

To the entire cast and crew — thank you for giving us this story. You can really feel the effort, heart, and emotion behind it.

And to the ontc investors:

HELLO??? 👋 PLEASE LOOK THIS WAY.

Give these people MORE BUDGET.
Give them MORE PROJECTS.
Give us MORE HISTORICAL BLs.
Give us MORE InnOngsa. 😭

I genuinely hope we get to see Inn and Ongsa together in more projects because their chemistry deserves to be explored again and again.

Calling all the investors, producers, and decision-makers: WE ARE READY FOR THE NEXT ONE. 😭💸

The Edge of Horizon may be over, but I'm definitely not emotionally over it. 🥹🌅🤍

First series, then manhwa

TBH I'm quite mad at myself because I read manhwa first and I didn't enjoy the series that much like people who didn't read manhwa. There were many similar things, but change in cause of death of Jay's mother and change in Dream management pissed me the most. I think it complicated things too much and differs too much from the orginal. I think manhwa has definitely more depth than series, so I recommend to read it after watching if you don't wanna to be pissed like I am 😂 Im not that much dissapointed but I really hoped that it would stay loyal to the original.
i must say I like, that in series, they showed Sky more, and showed us the reason behind his fear of cameras. I hoped that Jay would be more wacko like he was in the manhwa, but i like him in the series, good casting really.

why is the rating so low?

this isn't as bad as it seems and the rating system on here is deceiving. the story is gripping from the opening. I do think the first half was more gripping but by the time you get to the second part of the story you're already invested. not to say its bad, it could have been wrapped up with one in 20 somethih episodes instead of 33. I'm not sure why they make the ML into a kicked dog in every drama he's supposed to be "wicked" when it comes to women. the FML character is overboard with the pride. Other than that this is pretty good, again the low rating is not accurate and seems biased
