Not that bad

Overall it was a good drama, it could have been better but there's a couple of things that i didn't like it, it could be said that even disappointed me, first the character of Fang Yuke was completly devoted to Linlin (good), but he didn't received the same kind of love from Linlin, she allowed to other people ( Wen Tao) heavly interfere in their releationship, mean while Fang Yuke just put up with it and try to stay calm, trust her, etc, on the other hand, in the first oportunity that she have, she jump on the idea that Fang Yuke was cheating on her, thats not cool girl, he even put up with two guys chasing her at the same time in order to no make her feel uncofortable and support her carrer, Linlin's character needed more devolopment in the romatic part, her love seens a little shallow compared to Yuke's love and actions for her. In order to have an everlasting love, both in the releationship needs to work to achieve this, not just the man

Also, they try to make the behaviour of the 2ml look kind of cute, but no way, he was out of the line all the time, a total Psycho.

Warm, Holiday Feels - Least Weird J-Drama I've Watched

This was a surprisingly sweet, warm, comfortable, holidayish watch. It didn't feel like a jdrama - the characters didn't act like they were animated or had just jumped out of an anime. There were no "WTH DID I JUST WATCH?!" moments, though I kinda hate the way jdramas allow SMLs to make non-consensual moves on the FLs.

FL: Mori Nana reminded me of Park Bo Young's Do Bong Soon. A cutie who has been dealt an unfair hand in life, but with determination, seeks to find another passion.

ML: I loved the way this guy was written. I went in expecting another arrogant, emotionally stunted tsundere CEO, but he surprised me. This guy is sweet, listens well, can humble himself, and wears his goofy side on his sleeve.

Both leads had excellent comedic timing, and contrary to many commenters here, I thought they had chemistry from beginning to end. It was plain as day for anyone to see that they liked each other, but they took a long time to recognize it. I loved their back-and-forth banter, and the way they had the same dream and different skills to accomplish it.

Another thing that can act as both a pro and a con is that there are no bad characters. SFL and SML are both extremely nice people, with their own flaws, but sometimes so nice it was difficult to watch their hearts break.
The supporting cast was lovely, and it was so nice to watch the convenience store group be each others' best buddies. On a whole, i think this will be one of my holiday picks when that time of year comes around :)

Looooooove it

This series omw. I looooooove it. Dont know what it is with these Japanese and korean shows but the story lines does wrapped you in. I watched and had to rematch now am awaiting episode 6. Its the chemistry, the dialogues just has you in your feeelings. This is another one of my favorite bl of 2023. The eighth sense was another one. First time watching these actors and they didnt disappoint. Waiting for that supervisor to get his because he is tooo dutty, but all in all this is definitely a rewatch for me. If anyone knows any good chineese, Japanese and Koreans you can let me know in the comments. Complete and one of my favorite rewatch bl

Sweet and cute drama

So i bumped into this drama when i had just finished watching hidden love. I had zero expectations, wheb i started watching i was like it must same high school first love kind drama. But drama was way too good. No love triangles, it did not feel like it was stretched to make it into 24 episodes or i did not feel bored while watching. I wont give spoilers, just my honest recommendation to watch this refreshing drama. The love between main lead couple and even second lead couple was cute. There were scenes i was thinking why cannot i find this kind of guy/ boyfriend. I was definitely jealous. Beautiful drama the most favorite thing of mine was end of the episode where Female Lead would read simple and nice lines. The vlog was so cute hush im jealous.

EVERY MOTHERS AND SON'S DAUGHTERS SHOULD WATCH

To be honest I kinda expected that this drama would make me cry a lot and is something that is very heartfelt and thats the reason why I chose to watch this.
The Story is very unique, I thought its gonna be like a drama for every youth or sons and daughters so that they would love and respect their mothers somethings like that but as I watch it, like Oh it is also a drama for Parents like, the drama shows what parents doesn't know about their child when they ask them to do this do that, be like this be like that,
There is so many realizations this drama offers, its indeed for parents and children to watch.
I Like the part that this drama portrays that in a village or provinces, there is indeed some people you can be with if you live on countryside where they are so so annoying and gossip peoples, but the good thing is , and this is the reality, those neighborhoods you have when you live on countrysides are the people who will help you in times of need and will treat you as if you were their family, and the grouo of villagers here is such a lovely in the eyes, they quarrel sometimes but love and care for each other overflows more specially when they have a member that faces difficulty in life.
This drama is rather warm and light in the heart, the moment you cry because of this drama and had realizations in your life, it really feels light in the heart.
The story on the bit end part is like rushed though, maybe because it is just a 14 episode drama.
I like the part where they revealed that it was Kang Ho that SeoJin and Ye Jin's long awaited father like real father , even I kinda had a hint but I liked how they made it to the bit climax part, that made me not bored watching because you are like always waiting for the revelation in each episode and if the revelation you are waiting for does not appear , you just keep watching the next episodes. The chapter and elaboration of story per episode is good.
All in all a very good Kdrama again that we will remember forever ❤️

Is that the ending???

So, the whole series was very good. People who put under 8 are people who doesn't really like Thai BL.
First we have many characters with love stories. The woman have not really any power in it. Even the "evil" woman is not that evil. She's scared of her own son.
BUT you watch episode 12, and you have still soooo many questions without not answers.
It is the only thing I didn't like, the open ending. So, unless they do a second season, you are left with a bitter ending.
The evil person at the end is not the one you think.
If you have watched it, do you think it's the brother So? Is it Sin? Suzy????
I don't know at the end who is the real bad person, because they are all as bad for various reason. Only a few are genuinely nice like Wayha, or Pitch.
In short, watch it at least once. You won't be deceived to know the story.

very realistic

i loved this drama a lot. it shows everything in a teenage love story, like crushing over then in secret, cheesy love song, writing in the notebook about feelings, snapping pictures. you can tell best is so head over heels like all of us were in middle/high school at times! they dont hang out often but you can see a very strong connection and feelings popping out of the screen and it really captures you in all the good places. just enough to make you cry at the saddening parts. best friends hyping him up and ultimately taking care of a sad best when he couldnt tell dew his feelings. it really grabs all your attention and gives us that connection to the viewers feelings because weve been in bests shoes before somewhat. when best wrote “กูชอ…” (i li…) then seeings ferns confession absolutely broke my heart! and dont get me started on fern!!! that honestly angers me a lot how she betrayed dew like “if i cant have you no one can” .. i wanted to reach through the screen and fight her 555555 but anyways this is a very beautiful realistic story that also gives the viewers a connection to both the characters. i honestly wish it was a lot longer!

Mixed bad as in any reality show

I must warn you that my perspective of this series is not all moonbeams and unicorns. I am not going to praise this series merely for the sake of praising it. Perhaps it is ground-breaking in the sense that it is a gay dating show in the Philippines and for that it deserves applause, unquestionably. As an outsider looking in, I did not understand its concept. I also had a serious issue as to how these 10 were chosen and more importantly vetted. I do not think it was random and my sense was that most were chosen based on social media connections and status in life. And some seemed relatively new to the whole concept of being gay or even if they were gay. I am not trying to negate in any way those who were chosen but with a country of nearly 114 million souls, there are not 10 out and proud unhesitatingly GAY guys from all walks of life, rich and poor, that are willing to be on a ‘reality’ show about finding a guy to ‘spark’ with? With no complications? And I cringe when I see the cavalier way we ogle and view people who share deeply personal secrets and vulnerabilities publicly. While it might be entertaining and, to some extent, hard not to watch, it is deeply personal and maybe cathartic but not necessarily therapeutic or healthy or always good to so freely share. Sometimes the whole world does not need to know or see our deepest vulnerabilities. I both liked and disliked this series, but mostly lean towards the latter. know the ‘good feeling’ we get from initially watching this series and for those participating in this series. But I am apprehensive it will be short-lived, unfortunately. For a whole lot of reasons.

How can people rake this high

I'm currently watching the remake (stay with me... not finish yet) and i wanted to se the series on what it was based off... but i'm really disappointed... how people can say that they are good actors... this is a low budget series and we can see it... and the ending... wtf... they had a good base but they messed up a lot ... i really hope they gonna fix it in the remake ... and i will wait for the thai adaptation... i hope we can see more of the relationship in the thai adaptation... but for now... the remake is really better than this (currently waiting for episode 9) ...

Found family trope done right!

The story is beautifully written, a person without a family meets 4 people who have a seemingly happy family on the outside but are deep down struggling to establish a connection with each other and express themselves properly. The characters are well written and meaningful. Each adds something to the show. As a drama with only 4 episodes of 20 minutes duration, the pacing was great and plot was explained well.

Even though it deals with certain heart wrenching situations, the drama is really fun to watch. Each episode has a hidden lesson. It is very heartwarming. Loved how the found family trope was portrayed. This drama is now one of my favourites with this trope. It is short but memorable. I watched it in one seating and was left wishing for more.

The ending was my favourite part of the entire drama. I loved how all of them came together for Sensei. Made me tear up.

I am honestly surprised how this drama is rated so low. It deserves more appreciation. Trust me and go for it. This is a must watch!
