Great story with a few plotholes
After 2 years I have finally managed to watch this drama! It’s been hyped a lot and I understand it. The story is very captivating, their romance is bittersweet and swoony. The soundtrack is among the best I have seen in a K-Drama so far. And obviously, the cast is stellar! Especially Byeon Woo-Seok is out of this world!!!! His yearning gaze full of love, longing and sadness got me in my feels while watching this drama too.The cinematography and color editing of this drama was so beautiful! Especially when it was set in the past! It reminded me a lot of 25 21, especially at the beginning of the drama.
There were quite a lot of funny, laugh-out-loud moments as well! Melon Musk absolutely KILLED me 😂😂😂 Can never get over this phrase 😂😂😂
Now to some things that bothered me and kept me from rating this drama a 10/10:
1. What was with the serial killer thing??? It made no sense whatsoever! Also his background was not explained at all. Why was he after Sol? Just a coincidence?? It all felt so random to me that I couldn’t quite get excited about the kidnapping scenes…
2. When Sungjae is being stabbed by the killer and falls off the cliff and dies, the drama spins to the future / current time and somehow it seemed like she said that “it has been years since Sun-Jae had died but I was still trying ti live a normal life” or sth like that. It seemed to me that Sunjae had died but in reality she went back in time one last time and changed the past in a way that they had never met so he wouldn’t die for her… I found that a bit confusing and I think they could have done a better job explaining it…
3. The second couple aka her brother and bestie was sooooo annoying and useless! Did we really need all those annoying scenes?? 😖😖😖 I cringef everytime I had to watch them. Or just any scene her brother was in! He was SO annoying!!!! I wished Hyeon-ju had gotten together with Bae In-hyeok instead 😅😅😅
In general I liked the drama but I think it could have been shorter without the serial killer plotline and the secondary couple scenes…

Up to Episode 14
Today’s two episodes(9 &10) were beautifully executed from start to finish. Every emotional beat landed perfectly, the heartbreaking scenes had me in tears, while the lighter moments came at just the right time and genuinely made me laugh. The balance between sadness, warmth, and humor felt so natural, making the story even more engaging. Every scene flowed seamlessly, keeping me completely invested in the characters and their journey. And just when I thought I could finally relax, that ending completely caught me off guard! The suspense was incredible and left me desperate to know what happens next. What an emotional roller coaster, I loved every minute of it!Cet avis était-il utile?

One of those dramas that gets better and better the more you watch it.
I had so much fun watching this drama. The first few episodes had me laughing so much. The comedy actually worked, the chemistry was great, and I got hooked pretty quickly. ⭐I won't lie though, there was a point in the middle where I was like... okay, can we move the story forward now? Some episodes felt really slow, but once the pace picked up again, I couldn't stop watching. The last few episodes were honestly the best part of the drama.
One thing I really loved was that almost every important character had actual character development.
The Emperor surprised me the most. At first, I thought he was just another cruel emperor, but the more I watched, the more I felt he wasn't completely heartless. Yes, he made terrible decisions and was manipulated a lot, but I also felt like deep down he still wanted Nan Heng to become someone better. I don't know if everyone will agree with me, but that's how I saw his character.🤷
Now... Chu Guihong. 😭 Oh my God, this man tested my patience every single episode. I understood why he was angry after learning the truth about his fate, but instead of making better choices, he kept choosing the worst possible option every single time. His character development literally went backwards.
The Eighteenth Prince, though? What a surprise. At the beginning, I was convinced he was secretly planning something. I kept waiting for him to betray everyone, and I was so wrong. He ended up becoming one of my favorite characters.
And Song Yiting... THIS is the kind of female lead I want in historical dramas. Smart, capable, and never sitting around waiting for someone else to save her. I seriously need more female characters like her. even though she's just fl sister.
The romance was also really cute. I loved watching the leads together, and their relationship never felt forced.
yes I would say that fl started acting very badly when he started approaching her, like this felt too long, for me it was kind of boring but it was acceptable cuz she was kinda scared.
Overall, I had such a good time with this drama. Yes, the middle drags a little, but if you stick with it, it's honestly worth it. The ending episodes were amazing, and I finished the drama feeling really satisfied. Definitely one of my favorite watches this year. ⭐

Nothing Fake About This Story!
I just loved this saga and the journey between two of the most endearing protagonists I have seen for a long time in a BL. Both men are intensely camera friendly and uninhibited in feeling comfortable in all areas about making us feel as if they were a genuine couple. An astonishing first for a Japanese BL. I did not feel as if they were filming them as much as we were merely observing them. A big difference. What I hated was the title of this series. It is just awful and wish they had come up with something more reflective of the true nature of this series. Just as I was ready to give up on Japanese BLs being able to forthrightly show real signs of affection, these two unhesitatingly and with passion and commitment went where others would not go. Their affection, especially their kissing, was so sincere and honest, it almost became a sensuous display. No hesitations. No external or internal cringes. No closed lips. No camera angles from a million miles away. Just full-blown passion. And wholeheartedly so. How refreshing. They showed no signs of being uncomfortable or ashamed or embarrassed to hide how they felt with each other. I loved their complete connection to one another. One of the best for this year!Cet avis était-il utile?
so good
Game of Thrones you can watch with your parents. Without dragons. And if they can handle subtitles. And if they don't mind worms. Great character study, set design, history, world building, political intrigue. It had everything that was missing from Season 8. And I'm sure the only reason there were no dragons was because Netflix is too selfish to give them a budget for that, considering it's been years and we're still yet to get season 3. Yet Squid Game got a shitty season 2 and is getting a Fincher US remake. I never good things 😩Cet avis était-il utile?

Get Ready for some Mindfvck
I cant believe how much yapping this season 2 has, when I can barely stand the preach on season 1. Omg that lengthy talk about leadership, sticking out with friends whatever is so repetitive that I finally used the FF button. ML was so obsessed about getting the answer whether they could leave the game if they finished all the games, when he’s been asking the wrong people with wrong questions. Why ask the citizen player whether they could return to the real world when the citizen’s real world is the borderland? Duh, I fastforwarded so much at season 2 cuz they keep yapping useless things like lamenting their past lives or their regrets or meaning of life. It’s amazing how they would yap yap yap when the time on the game was usually only 15-10-5 minutes left. Those preaching is also much cringe-worthy that i failed to see them as profound at all.Episode 8 felt like the writer is trying to dumb me down with multiple “jokes” told by Queen of Hearts. The ending made everything seem even more senseless. Is this just another cheap trick to bait people for S3 cuz they never really explain why the heck was everyone having the same borderland experience? This season’s ending seem like yet another of the fantasies that the players are experiencing, it’s a hard sell. I feel like I am being tricked, but since the only reason why I struggled to finish both seasons was to find out who the real mastermind is, I guess I’ll have to endure a little bit more of s3.
There’s a lot of more blood getting spilled in this season, I guess with the weak script they had to do something to keep the audience on edge. More blood, more gory deaths, more gunshots. But no worries, as long as your favourite characters are within the top 5, no matter how many gunshots or slashes or burns they suffer, they would simply survive. The amount of resurrection they did on Aguni and Niragi are so many that I lost track of the numbers. The writer really dumbed the audience down with this one.
I am quite frustrated that I havent found my answer even after enduring 2 seasons. Now i had to watch s3. Duh.

Bello
Devo dire carino, forse il primo GL della GMMTV che ho apprezzato al 100% (e non mi aveva dato vibes un po' mah tipo a metà come è successo con alcuni altri). Jan e JingJin mi sono sembrate molto valide e sono contenta che la GMMTV si stia finalmente approcciando anche a serie non ambientate fra università e superiori e ho avuto delle belle vibes, sia dalla coppia che dalla trama. Mi è piaciuta la parte in cui si parla di quello che Wine ha passato sul posto di lavoro e sul trauma che ha passato, e mi è piaciuto sopratutto il fatto che non si sia risolto tutto una volta indagato il tipo, ma si spieghi del fatto che l'azienda prenda le precuazioni e sopratutto, che anche la capa si prende le sue responsabilità nel non aver creduto a quello che dicevano Lal e Wine. Mi piace molto e mi sembra corretto, nel senso che molto spesso ora si vedono serie dove ci sono traumi importanti per i personaggi e tutto sembra risolversi a tarallucci e fichi. Insomma sono contenta di vedere finalmente qualcosa di diverso. Sono anche molto contenta che finalmento Kapook e Ciize si siano laureate all'università delle coppie fisse e sono finalmente riuscite a finire una serie insieme. Insomma, molto carina. Poi mi sono veramente piaciute Lal e Wine, mi davano proprio la sensazione di sofficità e profumo, non so spiegarmi. Detto ciò non vedo l'ora di vedere anche la seconda parte, con il loro matrimonio e vedere Bake with Feelings...Cet avis était-il utile?

Le Garçon du dernier rang

Um quebra-cabeça psicológico de tirar o fôlego!
Notas da Última Fila é um verdadeiro drama psicológico de arrepiar, sustentado por um elenco incrível!Logo no início, a trama pode parecer um pouco morna e sem grandes emoções, mas quem insiste e fica até o final descobre que o desenrolar da obra constrói um enredo impressionante. A história brinca com o espectador como se estivéssemos montando um quebra-cabeça: tudo o que achávamos que sabíamos cai por terra à medida que novas pistas surgem. É aí que caímos na armadilha ilusória da trama.
O roteiro nos faz acreditar piamente em uma versão dos fatos para, no final, nos deixar de boca aberta com um plot twist avassalador. É justamente essa jogada de cintura que sustenta o drama do início ao fim, tornando a experiência de acompanhar e devorar os episódios algo fascinante.
Apesar de ter poucos episódios e carregar uma vibe mais introspectiva — o que pode soar lento ou entediante para alguns —, a obra fecha sua narrativa com chave de ouro.
Vale muito a pena dar o play! Se você ama enredos bem amarrados, que desafiam a mente e brincam com a sua percepção, esse K-drama é a escolha perfeita.

Goddess Bless You From Death
0 personnes ont trouvé cette critique utile
Zwischen Geistern, Ritualen und Kriminalfall – Liebe als Teil der Geschichte
Hinweis: Folgende Zeilen stellen meine persönliche, subjektive Einschätzung der Serie dar.Goddess Bless You From Death war für mich ehrlich gesagt keine einfache Serie. Ich mag Horror normalerweise überhaupt nicht und stellenweise war das Ganze schon ziemlich gruselig. Geister, Rituale, verstörende Bilder und eine düstere Atmosphäre sind hier keine Dekoration, sondern ein wichtiger Teil der Geschichte. Wahrscheinlich habe ich vor allem deshalb durchgehalten, weil ich Pooh, Pavel und generell viele Schauspieler aus dem Pit Babe-Cast sehr gerne mag.
Goddess Bless You From Death ist keine typische BL-Serie mit ein bisschen Mystery und Krimi, sondern eine Horror- und Kriminalgeschichte mit übernatürlichen Elementen, in der sich nebenbei eine Liebesgeschichte entwickelt. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine mythische Geschichte mit Geistern, Ritualen und einem Kriminalfall, den man nach und nach aufdecken muss. Es geht nicht um alltägliche Ermittlungsarbeit, sondern um etwas, das mit normaler Logik allein nicht erklärt werden kann. Irgendwo auf diesem Weg verliebt sich dann auch jemand oder war vielleicht schon längst verliebt. Das sorgt dafür, dass die Serie sich von vielen anderen Vertretern des Genres unterscheidet.
Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass die übernatürlichen Elemente nicht einfach nur als Schockeffekte dienen. Mehrere Charaktere haben ihren eigenen Bezug zur Geisterwelt und ihre persönlichen Geschichten werden erzählt. Dadurch wirken die Figuren nicht nur wie Werkzeuge für die Handlung, sondern wie Menschen mit eigener Vergangenheit, eigenen Ängsten und eigenen Beweggründen.
Viele Figuren entwickeln sich im Laufe der Geschichte weiter und man versteht nach und nach besser, warum sie handeln, wie sie handeln. Gleichzeitig werden Themen wie Glaube, Verlust, Schuld und Verantwortung angesprochen sowie die Frage, was Menschen bereit sind zu tun, wenn sie verzweifelt sind. Die Liebesgeschichte hat für mich funktioniert, auch wenn sie nicht der Kern der Handlung ist. Gerade weil so viel anderes passiert, wirkt die Beziehung manchmal fast wie ein Anker inmitten des Chaos. Und ja, typische BL-Dynamiken gibt es auch in dieser Geschichte.
Gegen Ende hatte ich das Gefühl, dass manches etwas zu schnell auserzählt wurde.
Wer Geister, Rituale und eine düstere Atmosphäre mag, wird hier wahrscheinlich deutlich mehr Spaß haben als ich. Trotzdem habe selbst ich, die sich sehr schnell gruselt, bis zum Schluss durchgehalten. Nicht nur wegen des Casts, sondern auch wegen der gelungenen spannenden Story, bei der man wissen will, wie sich alles auflöst.

Japan Does It Again, A Weird, Funny, and Steamy Butt ? BL That Actually Works
Sometimes a short series can be far more entertaining than a typical 45-minute drama, and Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good? proves exactly that. At just 13 minutes for its first episode, it wastes no time pulling you into its hilarious, romantic, and unexpectedly steamy story.Ainosuke only wanted to experience one very specific fantasy 🍑, but he definitely wasn't expecting it to come with a CEO. After a chance encounter turns into a passionate night, he discovers at his job interview that his future boss is the same man. 😂
One detail I really appreciated is how well the casting reflects the story. Sho Sakai is 25 in real life, while Kimisawa Yuki is 41, creating a 16-year age difference that closely matches the characters' relationship. It makes the age-gap dynamic feel much more believable. Kimisawa Yuki is incredibly handsome as the tall, muscular, mature businessman, while Sho Sakai perfectly captures Ainosuke's youthful charm and innocence.
Their chemistry was instant. They meet on the train, cross paths again at a café, and things escalate quickly. The intimate scenes were passionate, realistic, and filled with convincing kisses that made their attraction feel natural rather than forced.
The biggest laugh came the next morning when Ainosuke rushed to his job interview, only to discover that the man he had just spent the night with was not only his future boss but also the company's president.
Overall, this was a fantastic opening episode. The acting is solid, the chemistry is excellent, and the blend of workplace romance, comedy, and steamy moments makes it incredibly entertaining.
Japan always manages to surprise me with their weird and unconventional BL stories, and I'm completely here for it. I can't wait to see how this heartfelt CEO-and-university-student romance develops.

The older I get, the more I appreciate stories that trust their audience. Double Helix is one of those rare dramas that never feels the need to overexplain itself. It doesn't tell you what to think about its characters, nor does it conveniently separate them into heroes and villains. Instead, it presents deeply imperfect people and quietly asks you to observe them, understand them, and decide for yourself.What impressed me most was the drama's emotional restraint. It understands that the most devastating moments aren't always the loudest ones. Some of the most powerful scenes are built around hesitation, silence, and everything the characters fail to say. The writing recognizes that people often communicate through avoidance as much as through confession, and that subtlety gives the relationships an authenticity that many romances struggle to achieve.
The narrative is equally impressive in the way it treats consequences. Every emotional wound continues to exist long after the scene in which it was created. The characters don't simply move on because the plot requires them to. They carry regret into future conversations, allow fear to influence future decisions, and unintentionally recreate the very patterns they're trying to escape. Watching those cycles unfold felt less like watching fiction and more like observing real human behaviour.
I also admired how the series never mistakes complexity for chaos. Every difficult decision has a clear emotional foundation. Even when I disagreed with a character, I could trace their reasoning back through everything the story had already shown me. That's a sign of disciplined writing. The drama never sacrifices psychological consistency for dramatic impact, and because of that, every major turning point feels earned.
Perhaps my favourite aspect of Double Helix is that it doesn't present love as the destination. Love exists from the very beginning. The real journey is whether these characters can become emotionally capable of sustaining it. That subtle shift transforms the series from a conventional romance into a thoughtful exploration of emotional growth, accountability, and the lasting influence of the past.
By the final episode, I wasn't left thinking about who was right or wrong. I was thinking about how easily fear disguises itself as protection, how silence can become its own form of harm, and how genuine love demands not only devotion but also self-awareness. Very few dramas leave me reflecting on their ideas instead of just remembering their scenes.
For me, Double Helix is proof that compelling storytelling doesn't require constant twists or exaggerated melodrama. It requires characters who feel real enough that their choices linger in your mind long after the story ends. This is a drama that respects both its characters and its audience, and that's why it stands out as one of the finest BLs I've watched. A wholehearted 10/10.

It started well, but at a certain point it turned into one person’s “drama.” All the other stories were forgotten. They even painted someone as the villain to feed this narrative. The editing is terrible. I wish everyone had equal screen time, or at least something a bit more proportional. I’m not even talking about “ships,” but I’d like to see the other girls and not just the same person and her harem (no hate towards her, it’s just what the situation makes it look like). PS: The edit does everything it can to make people fall for its narrative, and it’s incredible how they end up hating someone because of that, without having an opinion of their own.
