se toda mafia fosse assim, nao tinha crime no mundo
se todos os mafiosos do mundo resolvessem ficar uns com os outros do jeito que a gente viu em kinnporsche nós teriamos duas mudanças muito interessantes na criminalidade mundial, e poderiamos começar pelo Kinn e o Porsche que são praticamente dois fugitivos de caps sendo que um é um trambiqueiro do cacete e o outro deu sorte de nascer numa familia muito louca mesmo.vamos ressaltar que nao engoli a ana castela da tailandia e o arco do personagem dele que nao fez diferença nenhuma, tava lá só pra ocupar espaço e mascarar a lavagem de dinheiro do cachê dele, mas work jeffinho você arrasa e canta muito te adoro
e agora passamos para o Tankhum que é a melhor coisa que temos em kinnporsche, além do gostoso do Bas que é um colirio para os olhos tambem (tal qual o Apo)
dito isso, adorei TUDO menos o caralho do final, jesus cristo queria assistir só até o episodio 9 mesmo, depois disso é horroroso.

Protagonista Determinada
Acompanhar esse dorama foi uma experiência inesquecível, principalmente por conta da protagonista. Que personagem admirável! Sua bondade, força de vontade e altruísmo me conquistaram logo de cara. Ela tomou as rédeas da história de um jeito único, a cada estratégia, ficava aflito torcendo pelo sucesso. Perfeita e cativante do primeiro ao último episódio. Mesmo tão nova, demonstrou um espírito de liderança surreal ao resgatar sua família da extrema pobreza e reconstruir a vida de todas com pura resiliência.Prota masculino dava raiva de ver como ele se deixava manipular pelo imperador, virando o principal entrave para o romance engrenar. Compreendo suas limitações, mas era frustrante vê-lo intervir e estragar os planos justamente quando o imperador precisava pagar pelo que fez.
Elenco de apoio deu um espetáculo. As fiéis escudeiras da Zhi, que com o tempo deixaram de ser meras servas e ganharam um lugar especial no meu coração. Até a relação com as tias e a mãe, que começou me fazendo passar muita raiva, se transformou em um laço familiar lindo e acolhedor. Funeral da avó, com a presença marcante da Imperatriz Viúva, foi uma das cenas mais tristes .
Quanto ao romance principal, achei fofo, mas sem uma química avassaladora. E quer saber? Achei ótimo! O verdadeiro trunfo da série foi focar na jornada pessoal da Zhi e no fortalecimento daquelas mulheres se apoiando para vencer na vida por conta própria.
No fim das contas, é uma obra nota 9.5 A trilha sonora é impecável, com uma abertura inesquecível.

A warm coming-of-age story with an interesting FL, with some missed potential
Genius Girlfriend turned out to be a warm coming-of-age drama with several moments I genuinely enjoyed. It's not perfect, and while parts of the story occasionally felt slow or less engaging, there was still plenty to enjoy and connect with. Lin Zhi Xia (LZX) is easily the most interesting character for me, and Tian Xi Wei (TXW) suits the role very naturally.-An interesting coming-of-age journey-
What I liked from the beginning is that LZX's genius isn't really the heart of the story. Yes, she is portrayed as exceptionally gifted in mathematics and science, but what interested me more was seeing how someone with such an extraordinary mind tries to find her place in a world she doesn't always understand or fit into socially.
She genuinely tries to connect with others, but her way of communicating isn't always understood or accepted by those around her. What I found particularly interesting is that she isn't simply someone who "doesn't understand people". She makes mistakes in how she interacts with others, but she is also capable of recognizing them and genuinely tries to learn from those experiences. Social situations don't always come naturally to her because she processes the world differently, making this a conscious part of her growth.
That made her development feel more meaningful to me. She doesn't suddenly become socially effortless or change who she is; she gradually learns to navigate relationships while remaining fundamentally herself. What interested me most was therefore not simply watching a genius succeed academically, but seeing how she learns to understand the people and emotions around her, and ultimately, who she might become as a result.
I also appreciated that the drama avoids pushing her into the usual extremes. She isn't a Mary Sue who effortlessly excels at everything and solves everyone's problems, but neither is she portrayed as a helpless victim whose social difficulties exist mainly to evoke sympathy. Her intelligence is simply one part of who she is, while her story is also about learning to navigate relationships and deal with her own emotions.
TXW fits LZX very naturally. She brings out her intelligence, social awkwardness and innocence without making her seem naive or overly "cute". Many of her reactions feel spontaneous and understated. I also liked the natural styling of the character. She isn't constantly presented as perfectly polished or glamorous, which helps LZX feel believable both as a teenager and later as a young adult.
Her strongest moments for me came in episodes 19 and 20. The emotional scenes genuinely got to me, and I actually went back and watched some of them again. Those episodes were definitely the highlights of TXW's performance for me.
-The high-school years vs. adulthood-
I enjoyed the high-school portion, but it did start to feel a little long towards the end. At the same time, I understand why the drama needed this build-up. Establishing the characters, their friendships and, most importantly, the bond between LZX and Jiang Yu Bai (JYB) is essential for the five-year separation to have the emotional impact it does later.
My issue is more with how that time was distributed. Some moments lingered longer than necessary, when the same development could perhaps have been conveyed more concisely. This becomes more noticeable when compared with the adult arc, which has much less room to explore LZX's development.
Once the story moves into the university years, the change of setting gives the drama a refreshing new dynamic. LZX feels more mature and independent, and I became particularly interested in seeing who she was becoming, both personally and academically. The five-year separation also gives her relationship with JYB a new dynamic, and I liked that their feelings were allowed to develop gradually.
And this is where I think the drama leaves some of its strongest potential unexplored.
The university arc opens the door to the question I had become most interested in: who does LZX become?
I would have liked to see more of her academic journey and what it actually means for someone like her to find her place in an academic environment. How does she grow as a researcher? What challenges can't simply be solved through intelligence? How does she continue to develop socially as she becomes an adult?
As the story progresses, however, the focus shifts increasingly towards her relationship with JYB, while her academic and personal development becomes less prominent. The final developments feel particularly condensed. Major achievements and several years of her life are covered quite quickly, leaving me wishing we had been able to experience more of that journey.
By the end, I almost felt that the original "genius" premise had become secondary, when it could have played a much more interesting role in her adult development. I also found the more mature and independent LZX from the earlier university episodes more compelling than the version we see once the story focuses more heavily on her relationship.
-The romance and Jiang Yu Bai-
The romance itself was enjoyable to watch. I could see LZX and JYB gradually growing closer, and I appreciated that their relationship wasn't rushed. Their history and the five years they spent apart also gave their relationship an additional layer.
Personally, though, I didn't feel their connection as strongly as I would have liked. I could see the romance on screen, but I didn't always feel it on the same emotional level. That's obviously subjective, and my connection with JYB probably plays a part in that.
JYB is caring, intelligent and does a lot for LZX, but I often wanted more of his own personality, motivation and inner struggles. His backstory—particularly the debt connected to his mother and the reason he disappeared for five years—had plenty of potential, but I didn't always feel its emotional weight as strongly as I expected.
Hu Yi Tian's restrained and stoic performance also contributed to this for me. It suits part of JYB's personality, but sometimes made him feel a little too distant and lacking in energy. I have nothing against Hu Yi Tian as an actor; he simply wasn't quite the type of male lead I personally connected with. I did find him a better fit in the adult part of the story, and there was definitely chemistry between the two leads.
-The relationships I enjoyed most-
Interestingly, the relationships that affected me the most weren't the romantic ones, but the family relationships.
The bond between LZX and her brother, Lin Ze Qiu, was probably my favourite relationship in the entire drama. Their interactions felt warm, natural and genuinely affectionate, and I completely believed in their sibling bond. Her relationship with her parents also contributed greatly to the comforting atmosphere of the series.
For me, these family relationships ultimately felt more emotionally convincing than the main romance.
I also enjoyed the Lin Ze Qiu and Jin Bai Hui storyline. Their development was interesting, although it was handled rather briefly, and I wouldn't have minded seeing a little more of it.
-Pacing, direction and music -
My main issue lies in the balance between pacing and narrative focus. Some scenes linger on the same emotional beat for a little too long. The intended emotion is already clear, but there isn't always enough progression within the scene to justify its length.
At the same time, the final episodes have almost the opposite problem: several storylines and major developments are wrapped up rather quickly. This imbalance made me wish that some of the time spent lingering in earlier parts of the drama had been used to further develop the adult storylines instead.
From a directing and visual perspective, I didn't have any major complaints. It isn't a drama that constantly stands out for its cinematography, but the direction generally serves the story well, particularly during the more emotional scenes. The OST was another definite plus and complemented the warm atmosphere very well.
-Final thoughts -
Despite its flaws, Genius Girlfriend gave me enough enjoyable and genuinely touching moments to leave me with an overall positive impression.
I particularly enjoyed LZX as a character, and Tian Xi Wei brings a very natural quality to the role that makes her easy to follow and connect with. She does particularly well in the moments where the story gives LZX more emotional depth.
For me, Genius Girlfriend is a good drama that didn't quite make full use of the potential in its own premise.
GG succeeds at making LZX interesting as a young person learning to navigate the world, but once the story opens the door to her adulthood, it doesn't spend enough time exploring who that person ultimately becomes.
That is probably my biggest takeaway from the drama. I became more interested in the question “Who will Lin Zhi Xia become?” than simply “How will Lin Zhi Xia and Jian Yu Bai end up together?”
Still, I'm glad I watched it. If you enjoy warm, easy-going coming-of-age dramas with romance, family and an unconventional female lead, I'd definitely recommend giving Genius Girlfriend a try. 😊

IMPERFEITO NOS DETALHES, IMPECÁVEL NO QUE REALMENTE IMPORTA
Comecei esse BL por pura curiosidade sem imaginar algo especial, mas a grande surpresa para mim é que "Blue Lips" me impressionou de um jeito tão bom que fiquei apaixonada.Desde o início, a série nuca teve a intensão de ser uma mega produção, mas conseguiu ser perfeita do jeito que é, sem precisar fingir algo ou força. É claro que por ser de baixo orçamento, dificilmente é impossível evitar os erros e falhas óbvias que aparecem. Porém, no meu ponto de vista, o roteiro é impecável e sua história transmiti uma sutileza e profundidade tão agradável que quando tu menos espera você já está gostando tanto do drama quanto do Teng Mo e Shi Xian.
A química dos dois personagens foi algo que sem dúvida se sustentou muito bem durante todo o BL, de forma que eles conseguiram entregar momentos lindos, engraçados, fofos e íntimos (de até mesmo tirar o fôlego.)
Portanto, "Blue Lips" merecia mais do público, algo que infelizmente a maioria falhou em notar uma excelente obra-prima. Eu recomendo que se você estiver pensando assistir, assista sem se prender aos defeitos da serie e se deixe levar apenas pela história, porque realmente ela é bonita.

Si estás pensado en tomar alguna decisión sobre tu relación, ve este drama, te ayudará
Me parece que la historia súper bien elaborado y trabajo. Me dió la lección que solo funciona cuando ambos están dispuestos a trabajar en la relación. El que se pueda trabajar las emociones humanas y sus interacciones de forma sana en varios ambientes, nos hace pensar en lo maravilloso que puede ser estar enamorado pero al mismo tiempo delnmiedo que sentimos al aceptar esos sentimientos.El manejo de la ruptura y como se afronta, para posterior darse una nueva oportunidad, nos enseña que siempre uno puedo trabajar en si mismo para mejorar. Creo que gracias a esos análisis, entendí que darse un tiempo con una pareja o un amigo, para saber cuáles son tus límites sanos es la decisión más certera.
Definitivamente entra en mi top 2 de favoritas, además de que las risas no flataron, y te hace analizar de diferentes perspectivas los tabúes y el manejar las relaciones profesionales, en parte lo que estás dispuesto a negociar y lo que no, yo la recomendaría y le daría una oportunidad.

THE LOVE THAT HEALS !!
I genuinely don’t know how this drama managed to make me feel so much with so little. 😭 This isn’t just a BL about two people falling in love....it’s about two people slowly finding somewhere they can finally breathe. Qinglang has fame, money, and everything from the outside yet he’s clearly exhausted. Then comes Changyang living quietly among the mountains and tea fields and somehow this man becomes his safe place. Their relationship is slow, soft, and painfully real. AND THE WAY THEY YEARN FOR EACH OTHER...The best non-toxic BL ever. It’s healing, mature, soft and somehow still INTENSE AS HELL. And the chemistry??? INSANE....The smallest looks have me screaming. They barely have to say anything and I’m already emotionally finished🥹🥹What hits deepest is how this drama treats love as something that gives you freedom not something that cages you. But when fame,expectations and the outside world start closing in then you really feel how fragile that kind of happiness can be. It's about choosing love in a world which expects you to choose everything else But these characters still chose love over everything else first.
I'M SO EMOTIONAL WHILE BIDDING THEM GOODBYE....My changyang and qinglang you'll always be a part of my beautiful memories... I never knew I'll be so attached to them....
I'm not OKAY ..I haven't been okay from the day they started looking at each other with those loving Eyes. 🥹🥹🥹

Ding Yu Xi is, once again, a big standout
I think Ding Yu Xi must be my favorite CDrama actor because I find myself watching mid-dramas just for him. He seems to be the only actor I will do this for, but his performances elevate even the most *meh* dramas into something special.==Breakdown==
Background plot - 50% (more and more as the show progresses, but averages to 60%)
Romance - 30%
Misc comedy - 20%
Background plot - Some good messages
Romantic chemistry - Heart-achingly excellent from the ML, okay from the FL, but ultimately with no payoff
Misc comedy - Good
Production value and direction - Fine
Ding Yu Xi's character here is a lot of fun. The other characters are well drawn but not necessarily well-acted. The main female was okay, as was the second male lead, the brother, and the returning friend (antagonist for the middle part of the show). But the actress who played the BFF was not good and like nails on a chalk board every time she showed up on screen. That said, the character was a good one, just not well portrayed.
Although, this drama did (on its own) have some interesting messages which, if they'd finished the drama on a strong note, would've taken it from an 7.5 to a 9. However, the last two episodes completely fumbled the story by giving us a non-ending, incredibly unsatisfying after so many episodes and slowness. Such a shame.
THAT SAID, still worth a watch for Ding Yu Xi if you are between other dramas.

Honestly, the plot and characters are way too manga-like and fake for my liking. While I did enjoy the acting some of the time, the exaggerated acting made the characters feel empty and I quickly didn't care if the couple ended up together or not. When Ryo suddenly confessed his love for Zen, I thought it would be another prank to trick him into falling for him.
For some reason all the intimate scenes also fell flat for me. The actors are definitely lookers, but perhaps the angles conveyed the idea of passion rather than actual longing and lust. Overall, this drama is unique and could be enjoyable for some.

Beyond my expectations
This show completely exceeded my expectations. I went into it without expecting much, but I was genuinely impressed by how well everything came together. The story was engaging from beginning to end, the characters felt believable, and the performances made it even more enjoyable to watch. There were so many moments that surprised me.What makes it even more interesting is how fresh and unusual the concept feels, especially within Korean BLs. A romance between a cop and a killer is definitely not something you see every day, and the show actually takes advantage of that premise rather than treating it as just a gimmick. It feels bold to see a darker, morally complicated relationship like this explored in a Korean BL, and that alone makes the series stand out.
I especially loved the chemistry between the two leads and the tension created by their completely opposite positions. The combination of romance, crime, and the constant question of whether they can actually trust each other made the story even more addictive. Definitely a show I would recommend, especially if you’re looking for something different from the usual BL storyline.

A good drama affected by lazy writing
I actually like the story. I like the skeleton, I like the world-building, and I think there’s a genuinely intriguing mystery at the centre of it. The acting is good, the character archetypes are refreshingly done, and there’s enough there to make me curious about who is behind everything.My problem is the writing. It’s just too convenient. Plot points are repeatedly resolved in ways that feel incredulous at best and silly at worst, and I found myself 11 episodes in with this happening consistently. I don't think I have the patience to tolerate another 37 episodes of it.
If this were a 16- or even 20-episode drama, I might have weathered the inconsistencies because I do think there’s a good drama hiding underneath all of this. But when you're asking me to commit to 37episodes, world-building alone is not going to cut it. I need clever writing and satisfying resolve too.
And that’s the frustrating part because there’s one major mystery I genuinely want to know the answer to. I just don't trust the drama to reveal it in a way that will satisfy me. Given how some of the biggest plot points have already been handled, I'm worried the big reveal will be another convenient, thinly written explanation.
So I'm tapping out. I’ll probably skim through Reddit to find out who did what and call it a day.
I completely understand why people like Blossoms of Power, and I think it had real potential. But for me, 37 episodes is a very expensive commitment for a drama that keeps asking me to suspend my disbelief.
Dropped.

I love second chance plot
It’s a second chance plot with amazing actors. the chemistry appears in the first episode nd uauuuu! I don't understand people giving low ratings to the first few episodes; I felt that wasn't fair, so I wanted to give it a positive review. I'm really enjoying it, and I think if you like "second chance" stories and romances with chemistry, you should definitely watch it. I'll update my review as I keep watching.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️Cet avis était-il utile?

well… that was frustrating
- the first half was SOOOO interesting and promising, I was pleasantly surprised since historical dramas aren’t generally my thing. I think that’s why I’m so frustrated now smh;- things started going downhill on the second half though. everything seemed repetitive and all over the place. I feel like if you don’t know a bit about korean history or just war history in general, it gets progressively confusing with each episode;
- TOO FREAKING LONG!!!! both the drama itself and the episodes. at one point, the intros were 10-minute recaps of the previous episodes’ endings. just unnecessary and made it that much more dragging and repetitive;
- seonho: a bit too complex in my opinion, to the point where you couldn’t really read him or fully understand his intentions. with that being said: woo dohwan never disappoints! his acting is top tier, I feel like he doesn’t get enough praise and recognition for it;
- hwi: a boring hero! either underdeveloped or badly interpreted (I’ve only watched one other drama with yang sejeong before so I don’t have much to compare to). he always looked way too nice and not fierce or blood-thirsty enough for someone seeking revenge;
- huijae: she had major potential in the beginning, but became just as boring as hwi. this is my first time watching seolhyun’s acting so, once again, don’t really have much to compare to, but I feel like she couldn’t really exude the confidence that was needed for the role;
- overall, the production and the rest of the cast’s acting was really good. and even though near the end I just couldn’t wait to be done with it, I did enjoy it a lot at one point.

The Middle Aged BL we've been waiting for years for
It has been years since Old Fashioned Cupcake aired and I had long given up hope that Japan would realize that the age-category of 30+ existed for the BL genre. Yes I know that one JBL about a 40-year old dude happened, but tell me was the final memorable? Did not think so unfortunately.Thankfully, Duty First, Kiss Later pulls through. In these first 5 episodes the story-telling has been solid and doing good worldbuilding of the local community. A true good detective BL in my opinion.
The chemistry is really good between the actors; the tsundere Shiono and the naive Takoi. We're really seeing how these two adjust to each others presence and also the difficulties they have to overcome. Both characters are flawed in their own ways but that also makes it much more interesting to see how they will grow.
As for specific categories; the music is just really fun. It's super hyper and fits the cutesy vibe perfectly. The rewatch value is through the roof once you're hooked & this is some amazing acting from these guys.

I’M SAT ??
I really NEVER expected this plot. It is such an unique and interesting plot. Currently, 3 episodes aired and I watched every single one right after it’s released! Counting my days for the next episode and I love the feeling this drama gives me! It talks about Homophobia and bullying which is very realistic and happens to a lot of people. It really expresses the big topics such as bullying and homophobia well. There are many other things that I also like about this drama! The Actors. Sorry but can we like talk about their acting skills? Especially the actor of Suzuki 👏 He acts so well and really suits the character. What DID really cringe me out was the fact that Serizawa was pulling out some random English sentences and just overall, being silly. I also love the fact that the Drama didn’t just include male but female friends which is very rare in the Japanese BL industry. The girls are also really pretty and adorable I really like them! Special mention for the OST by the group RYUGUJO. It’s such a great song! I really enjoy listening to the intro BECAUSE of the great vocals 🤤 I even listen to it during my free time, I really LOVE it.Looking forward to the upcoming episodes I’m SO excited!!
