Don't waste your time

I have a simple request from the screenwriter, Run... Could you please stop experiencing secreenwriting? I'm terribly sorry, but this is not what we expect from a BL drama. Seriously, I feel like I wasted my time. I've been watching BL dramas for more than two years, but I never felt I wasted my time. I like you as an actor, please get back to acting and making us smile. I don't want to be mean for anyone, and I do excuse if my comment would hurt anyone. However, there is no point in watching a wifey who has no idea what falling in love is. The wifey is so selfish that our poor hubby tries his best to please him. I won't even mention his dowdiness besides his uncleanliness. He never manages to love sincerely although his hubby is crazy about him. I am absolutely sure hubby would be happier if he met someone else. Last but not least, what we want to see in the dramas is the real love with all sorts of sacrificies available. Please do not waste all these handsome boys with amazing acting abilities with simple or absurd drama stories.

Episode 11 Opinion/ Thoughts

OMG just saw the latest episode of My Tooth Your Love and OMFG. EP. 11

i have mixed feelings about this episode and this is why [ THIS IS A LOT OF SPOILERS] so finish the episode first. I appreciate the fluff in the first few minutes. the whole good/bad cop while bai was giving him the bracelet was funny and cute.

things I was kinda sad and frustrated with is how Jin wants to do everything by himself. Bai has definitely expressed how he felt about Jin's family and Jin decided to hide and handle everything on his own. To be fair, I thought he was hiding something else until the last few minutes of the episode. I fucking hated THE INFERENCE of how his dad beat Jin up to the point he left him fucking bruises for telling his father that he is dating Bai. I didn't really appreciate the mother's comment of when she said, "is Bai so demanding of wanting you to tell your family". LIKE BITCH YOU ARE OKAY WITH HIM DATING BAI AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT HIM OR HIS SEXUALITY?!! THAT IS NOT ACCEPTANCE.

after seeing the preview I got genuinely so fucking mad!! wtf. Jin's father literally physically hurt him to the point that he has bruises and lashes(?) on his body. LIKE WTF. I AM LIVID RN. I mean, I am aware that this is how some families react irl but idk I guess this just triggered some things. But I am soo sad for Jin. he just wants to carry the entire burden but he is only hurting himself emotionally trying to do this all alone. Bai is with you !!! he needs to try and rely a little on his partner cause at this point, Bai is also sensing something and is worried.

also, RJ! BRING RJ BACK. THERE IS ONLY ONE EPISODE LEFT. I hope they don't rush everyone else's story. Like Big A and the hockey player and RJ and Alex. like please they have soo much potential. I hope the last episode is not rushed overall because they still need to cover so much, imo.

Good enough...

Weak start, weak ending, decent middle part. I never wanted a protagonist to turn into an antagonist more than the lead of this drama Park Tae Soo. The only interesting part was the middle one where they had to make a decision, the rest is weak throughout and very similar to any other medical drama. Overall, it's an okay medical drama 6/10.

I've just finished the series and come to the comments to find.....this is a remake of "Something In The Rain"????? No. Maybe it started that way, but this is completely different, imho.

Mainly, what I want to say is that the acting was phenomenal! And wasn't I surprised to find out that the ML was a former member of Wanna One??!! I never paid attention to the members of that group, except for Kang Daniel, one of my fav K-pop idols....but I just watched 2 of Park Jihoon's 2022 dramas (Worth it!) and I was like, cool, now I am familiar with 2 of the members! But now I'm watching a C-drama....and oooh, isn't he such a good actor, let's find out more about him......uh huh, Produce 101....season 2....hey, that's when Wanna One was created......OMG how did I happen upon another member??? And how is he ALSO such a great actor?? LOL. (Yeah, I know. My kids also call me a dork. It's fine. Haha) (Edit: I totally forgot about Daehwi! Oops! So Lai Kuan Lin makes my FOURTH Wanna One member! ROFL! I'm learning, slowly but surely!)

But I digress...

Seriously, I looked and looked for the leads to be out of character or awkward with their lines and acting and NEVER found it. That's especially interesting since they are so far apart in actual age. But honestly, I give props to all of the actors. They all did such a fantastic job. And, though this wasn't the most exciting of shows, it was good. Funny at times, heartwarming at times, unbelievably sweet....

My only complaint was the end. It just ended. I was watching the episode, then I was watching the actor interviews. I kept waiting for a final scene. And maybe they planned it that way, to say that this love doesn't end....but that's corny even for me. (Much as I hate that word, it is what it is.) Regardless, I enjoyed this drama and I fell in love with quite a few of the characters.

Not my cup of tea.

I was super excited about this series; I've waited months for it to finish airing so I could binge it, because I thought I'd enjoy it a lot. It definitely didn't live up to my expectations and after each story I felt like I was left needing more and not in a good way. Open endings are not my cup of tea and I try to avoid them as best I can. As I was watching I became less interested in the story's and just wanted to finish it.

The one thing that kept me from not dropping the series, was the last story Y idol: Wife, Toru and First have been one of my most anticipated pairings, I loved them in Y-Destiny, and I was very excited to see them paired together again, but their story really disappointed me. I didn't understand the ending, did Achi and Most end up together? Did they not? Also, at the award ceremony we saw Bew, where did he come from? I thought he left.

The stories were just way too rushed, when I finally started to understand what was going on the plot had already taken a 180, and it was most likely for the worst.

To sum it up if you're okay with way too much drama, poorly executed plot direction, and open endings I'd say give it a shot. I know I've said a lot of shitty things about this series, it wasn't like it was the worst show I've ever watched, because I've most definitely watched worse, but I can most confidently say it was not very high on my watched list.

Everything I've said is just a warning, watch at your own risk I didn't like it, but you could love it, everyone has their own opinions, and I was just sharing mine <3

PS. Let's all pray to the BL gods that they give us a series dedicated to a Toru and First pairing!!!

PPS. This was my first time writing a review sorry if I ranted, but sorry not sorry if you don't agree with my opinions. <3

Waste of Time

Just finished the show. Originally, I was looking forward to watching this as the cast of this one is really promising. The fact that it's a Disney+ original added another alluring feel to it.

However, it was a disappointment.

The acting was okay, but the storyline felt lackluster and incomplete; it had potential but something was definitely missing. The visuals were great though, some of the scenes were mesmerizing. But the lack of depth and character development was glaring. I wish the writers had done a better job with the plot.

They could have added more twists and turns and made it more interesting. It felt like the story was barely touched upon in the time given and could have been a lot more enjoyable if the writers had gone a little bit deeper into the characters and the story. All in all, it was okay, but nothing extraordinary.

Fantastic couple, wasted on immature writing

This entire show can be summarized as the power of one woman's obsessive love and sacrifice.

Pros:
1. Fantastic chemistry. Really top-notch acting from both leads. they suit each other. especially Zhang Jingyi. I can feel her yearning, her boundless love, every time she looks at him. Their romantic moments seemed so visceral and raw, it almost felt voyeuristic.
2. Beautiful music and the editing really emphasizes it. The songs were placed with much thought and really heightened every scene.
3. Well-written villain (Gao Jianhong) for most of the show I heavily empathized with his feelings of insecurity, shame, anger and despair. He was indeed mistreated by the male lead and sometimes female lead too. Some of his actions are not justifiable but you can really understand why he became the way he did which I think is important in these revenge stories

Cons:

1. We, as the audience are aware who the main lead is but in this show all the characters also act like Li Xun is the male lead. It's like he has the protagonist halo. The supporting characters all behave as if they know they're just extras. It doesn't matter that Li Xun is rude, cruel and arrogant. He can yell at his friends. He can yell at his colleagues. He can humiliate them in public and they just sigh and say 'oh well thats Li Xun for you' 'hes smart and handsome so he can do and say whatever he wants'. It was so unrealistic. Nobody in real life is that passive or accepting of terrible behavior no matter how smart the other person is.

2. The way their relationship and ml and fl character arcs are written is so particularly infuriating. Straight-A student Zhu Yun who is perhaps tiring of her parents' controlling nature meets arrogant, brilliant, mysterious and carefree Li Xun as freshmen in University. She is somewhat fascinated by him but mostly they get on each other's nerves. But she acknowledges his genius and they fall in love as they work together. Ever since their partnership in the programming base, Zhu Yun is particularly loyal to Li Xun. She stands resolutely with him no matter how rude or cruel he is to her friends coz ultimately he is right and they are wrong, he is smarter and better than them so she and all their friends need to be accommodating of his cruel brilliance. She's probably the only one in the show to even try to confront him but rather than confrontation it's more of a compromise. She ends up agreeing with him anyway or justifying his actions. They begin a romantic relationship coz she chases him and swears she will forever be unrelentingly supportive and kind and submissive. Then he goes to prison. You'd think their characters or relationships would change after this huge shift but no. she's still blindly sacrificial and supportive and giving while he teases, insults, sneers and is at best detached. When they finally get together it's not a happy moment coz I didn't feel for one second that he loves her as much as she loves him. All the sacrifices, all the adjustments, and all the pain in this relationship have been borne by her. He gives nothing but he takes endlessly. The development to their reunion is shoddy at best. Once again they get together coz she pursues him. They don't even have one real conversation despite having gone through so many traumatic changes.. Everything is swept under the rug to tie the endgame up in a nice, pretty bow. The audience is still left with the feeling that they know as much about Li Xun as they did in the first episode and he still is that arrogant college freshman. You're left feeling something akin to pity for Zhu Yun coz you know for the rest of her life she alone will be bearing all the responsibilities and the emotional weight of their relationship.

Perhaps I am in the minority but alas I could not enjoy an unequal relationship where all the burden of the sacrifice and the fate of the relationship is solely on the female lead.

The love was a frustrating one.

As one that's new to the BL world, Love mechanics was one of the first BLs that I watched and honestly speaking I wasn't really feeling it from the start but I got to love it sm. Especially War. I really love War's acting skills and I believe that I finished the series just coz he was in it. I almost dropped the series coz of my frustration from vee but Omo like I said i just couldn't stop watching it??? the chemistry between Vee and Mark. Is what kept me going, I'm awaiting their next project with excitement!!!!
I might rewatch it again just coz wanna see my Baby Mark's cute but hot body again but like who knows? I definitely recommend you to watch Love mechanics! It's one of the best BLs this year❤️✨

A Pulpy Thriller That Doesn't Care About Logic

I'll admit I had a certain amount of fun watching this but in terms of quality - it's just not there. The show prioritizes melodramatic twists over logic and characters rarely have motivation for doing what they do. If you actually think about any singular "twist" on this show it falls apart.

I also had issues with our female lead. She passive, reactive, and lacks skepticism entirely. She believes everything she's told at all times - even when the source is OBVIOUSLY untrustworthy. And she's TOLD a lot. She uncovers almost nothing on her own but rather the mystery unfolds as characters show up and explain things. The eventual reveals are shallow and - again - don't make a lot of sense if you think about them for more than a moment.

If you want to watch attractive people running around in a noir style show - this IS entertaining enough. But in terms of writing they weren't even really trying.

You must have heard cuteness overloaded but this series is cuteness exploded!!

Honestly why are they so Sodium Radium Potassium {Watch it to know what I mean ;)

Starting with they are cute and not the kind of cute where you say they are cute and that's it. It's cuteness exploded. You can feel it through the screen. They would be the one flirting/ interacting/ having a moment but you would be the one blushing, squealing, banging your hands somewhere, gripping your bedsheets, covering your face/mouth and cheering for them. I am honestly in love with their love. They are extremely cute and I tell you that's not the only factor that makes it good.

This series could easily have been cringe BUT let me emphasize "IT'S NOT". It's honestly executed so freaking well and that's what makes it the best. A simple plotline if executed and put together the right way then this is what the outcome looks like i.e. mesmerizingly hooking, to add up extremely cute.

(******Spoilers in this and the next paragraph******)

The way the characters have been portrayed plus the emotions and imaginations of Tinn, my god he is a goner for Gun and ahem Gun ain't any less too. From their eye locks to their interactions to their dance to that pinky finger interlock scene to those cheek kisses to that forehead kiss to their first date oops what I mean is first hangout to those beach scene, to that notebook kiss to their poolside scenes and also many more scenes just just wow. My self control goes down the drains when I am watching them.

I don't have words to describe how much I love this and Tin's and Gun's friend circle makes this series so much more worth it. They are so good humor wise as well as friendship wise. And Tiw/ Tiwson deserves the best best friend award. He is a godly love advisor for Tin and I tell you he is the captain of mommyzhilla. Also Sound and Win damnnnn they are making my heart shake. They are so so so freaking adorable mahn. Each one of their scene be it a bickering scene or an extra sweet one, they nailed it. Also, Tiw Por the hints are blurry... scratch it TiwPor is real. They themself said it and showed it. These two babies they definitely deserve each other. The actors that played the roles of Tin and Gun's parents deserve a huge shout-out. They played it so well. I felt their love, their concern and them.

Talking about the music, I love each one of it from 'You have got ma back' to 'Just being friendly'. The cover MV of 'Just being friendly' hats off to it mahn. It's too good. Like freaking good. A 10 on 10 to the music, the set up and all those scenes and also the editing team nailed it. And the mv made me one of the shipper of Tiw Por. Now talking about, 'Smile please'.. oh my god I couldn't control my smile listening to it. It was too good from the lyrics to the MV. And 'Hook' what an adorable song. Also 'No one else like me' damnn I love this too. and 'Let me tell you' what a song from the lyrics to it's beat to the emotions behind it. The osts of MSP, they are healing plus each one of them has a very deep meaning lyrics. Plus using the song 'Once upon a time' to bid us goodbye damn it had me crying.

In short, a simple plotline at a glance but execution and entertainment wise- bang on it's hooking. I WAS AND STILL AM HOOKED and I can't help but add- their cuteness is blinding. To add up it's healthy, it's heart warming and trust me you'll feel the characters. In fact you'll fall head over heels in love with them. I really love the way this series makes me feel. This series is my comfort place and it gives me those nostalgic feels. I already miss this so much. I- I can't I still have so much to say about how good everything in this series is and how much I love this. But words wouldn't be enough, truly not enough. And I am not even exaggerating. For me this series had it all.

Highly highly recommended!!!

A MUST WATCH DRAMA OF THE YEAR BEFORE YOU DIE!!!!

So basically I am not a fan of historical or costume dramas. I prefer modern dramas over periodic ones but guys trust me this one is way beyond my imagination and expectations. Its not good its mind blowing good. This drama caught my attention from the very 1st episode and that was something rare for someone like me (as I mentioned above).
I started this drama because of the posters and trailers that were released for season 2. Definitely to watch season 2 I had to watch season 1 so I immediately started watching it to catchup with S2...... Not with too much of expectations I started watching episode 1 and then boommm..... I really didn't expected to complete this within 5 days (fast as in for me hehe). Every episode was worth watching. I just could not stop myself from switching to next episode.
What makes it special for me is that you can find all sorts of genre into one like it has romance, mystery, action,.... and so on.... I specially loved the way how brilliantly director made every sword fights soo interesting that I couldn't stop myself to replay them. I loved the way how they made the leads fall deeply in love slowly and gradually through all there bickering moments. How they successfully add humour to a serious scene..... Everything about this drama is worth appreciating.
I am really satisfied that I started this drama after its completed because it would be hard for me to keep myself away from thinking about every upcoming episode.
A complete worth my watch!!
Thank You!!

A complete story with amazing casts

First of all, I think what it meant to be a lakorn lol
I have watched miracle of teddy bear which is a full fledge 16 episode series with more than 1 hr screentime so i thought i knew what i should be expecting but this is another level.. As I said, as expected of a lakorn lol
Second of all, I am glad the actors are talented and film is able to help jam to emote. I was scared that he is on the inexperienced side but he managed to act out how jiu was supposed to be feeling at the parts. The supporting casts are doing their parts justice and was serving ACTING!!
Third of all, this series really go in depth about how gay people are stigmatized but also managed to portray the relationship of tian with his people, his parents, his step mothers, his brother and his lover and also his role in the house. I think this show has a fuller picture than regular bl shows give( they have 40 mins and 12 episodes so I can understand but I prefer a more complete story)
Fourth of all, and most important thing for me is that they didn't make the leads die or live in misery but have a happy ending and also acceptance. I was afraid that they might make tian leave the house to choose his lover but they welcomed back into the family. This show was aired in prime time so I hope a wider audience who watch the series can get the message.
P.s. the camera effect and sound still has room to improve so i give it 9.5 out of 10!
