Thank God I am done watching this!

Two couples, all four good-looking. The first half focuses on Phayu and Rain, with Phayu being clearly the seme. The second half focuses on a similar-dynamic couple, with Pai being the seme, and Sky being the uke. The ukes are both in university studying architecture, while the semes are both working, and are friends due to being motorcycle racers.nk

Pros:
1. Liked the couples always touching, kissing, etc.
2. Liked that the ukes, while still being coy sometimes about admitting their crush/love, still ask for sex.
3. The second couple is very good-looking.
4. Nice work on the motorcycle racing, the crowds, and the drone shots.
5. Some people did not like the ukes being called wifeys and [the seme's] "my boy", but I loved it.
6. The couples touched a lot, and sex scenes were explicit for Thai BL. I loved those.
7. I liked some of the dub-con and non-con and shady wooing techniques. Examples are mostly with Phayu and Rain, as Rain seems to have ultimately enjoyed them, and was never really against the non-con. I frequently fantasize about such myself, where they both really want it.
8. Loved the spanking scene. Wish there had been more of it. Lots of similarly arousing scenes.

Cons:
1. The second half is full of how Pai is a stalker cum harasser. He cannot take NO for an answer from Sky, and is not above using emotional blackmail, stealing of Sky's room key, bribing of Sky's apartment manager, and using fake phone numbers after his own number got blocked. He went too far.
2. The rape scenes -- both in the present and in the flashback. These were real non-consensual sex, and I dislike those very much. I could not watch them.
3. The kidnapping of the ukes -- Rain's was sort of boring, and Sky's was horrible to watch.
3. Dragging second half that I had to fast-forward through very often. Repetitive scenes at the race track and elsewhere.

Overall, the second half was so bad that I had to give this series a low rating. I don't think I will rewatch it at all. I am a gay man, btw, and not a young het woman. I ff-ed through TharnTypes rape stuff also. I think I had best be careful with Mame's works.

A wonderful and hilarious adventure with lovable characters

Wow, what a journey! This drama was a breath of fresh air. It was hilarious and heartfelt and wonderful. The fantasy elements and world building were superb, the characters were so lively and I cared so deeply for them. I really, really loved this drama and the FL was so cute and funny, I really liked her and she was the perfect cast. As were the rest of the main characters too, they were perfect. This story was well written and I loved it, but it drag a little towards the end and took a bit more time to finish than the first 20 or so episodes which I absolutely flew through because I could not stop watching. Be sure to give this drama a chance if you like fantasy and demons, enemies to loversesque relationships (although not quite enemies, just a bit of the dynamic) and found family!

DON'T DELAY! IT'S WORTH... WATCH AND YOU'LL KNOW

COMPLETED 10/10! i wish i could give more. for anyone hesitating because of the comment. Lai.. how about listen to me first and decide by yourself.

it aint a spoiler if you already read the comment section and you still doubt how bad this drama will do. so read it by your own responsibility as it just general talk here.


Add on message: the kissing scene here no joke tho! DAMN NO JOKE! HAHAHAHHA it's more than spicy! it cointains shockness, hotness all together. if you ever watch Yang Yang at Love O2O kissing scene, this one uyyo hahahha same goosebumps i got but in this series the scene really hot + sweet. there is one episode i think the PD is taking revenge on us. HAHAHAHAH I literally can't breathe for that one episode cause the eps full kiss scene. i almost drop my lungs. I dont even have time to breath. HAHAHAH watch it and you'll know. it's not just empty kissing scene but the real sweet and heartwarming one. (Im jealous heh :{ ... MOMMM I WANNA MARRRYYY, FEEL SO SINGLE AFTER WATCH THIS THO

Story: OMG i started with 50% expectation. i never thought i got 100. nope 150. nope.. 10 times percent from i expected!! it surprisingly so good. As it balance comedy + romance + angst so well and divided it with right portion for this genre. I mean for this 'Love Unexpected' series (don't compare it with others) it has 10% angst, 50% romance , 40% comedy. let me tell you! It's rare! cause the romance and comedy is real here! you will know it if you watched first 5 eps tho HAHAHAHH plus.. the good romance which you will hardly found is waiting for you after eps 15! kyaaaa.. just remember their scene makes me wanna scream.

Acting/Cast : P.E.R.F.E.C.T ! perfect actors for each role! oh damn the emotions i got from this drama is like roller coaster. my mom literally ask me ' Woi! Mad already ah?' hahahahha Each eps i excited waiting what will happen next. ( When you watched many dramas you can guess what will happen next.. but in this drama even i know, but i cant help seeing how the actors will deliver the scene. do the comedy there? will i got some good fluffy romance? or will this eps make me irritated) All actor and actress did a well done job but ML got my respect! IT'S NOT EASY WOHHHHH. He's someone emotionless (illness) but amazingly we (viewer) could feel his 1001 emotions. IT STRAIGHTLY DELIVERED OUT FROM THE SCREEN! he deliver his scene so good with maintain emotionless face.

Music: HOH! just heard the opening song will bring you ideas how this drama will lead you to. sometimes we just need to follow what flow has been served to us. take the message, enjoy the plot, the drama, the ridiculous, the madness, the joy, the hotness, the angst. it will give you emotional ride cause *each* eps literally executed well with complete taste. The ending song is sang by the ML himself. It's so good and good applied in the drama tho. I CRIED! and give big applause to the effort of editing tho. The sound effect really MVP hahaha . the scene already funny add on the sound effect..WASSEHHH i can't stop laughing.

Conclusion: DONT LET THE COMMENT HERE CONDEMN YOU! watch it at Youtube then you can see the comment section there. they are so positive. Im not crazy just because in this mydramalist section only me love this drama so much. NO! if you agree, you and I are not alone. so here i am giving this drama a justice to prove how much i love this tho.

I want more!

A young cellist + her father’s doctor find an unexpected love.

This couple… *sigh* 💝

The friendship they form, the bond they develop, the love they discover - gahhh, it’s all so beautiful!! The Leads have amazing chemistry and I love watching them fall for each other with every interaction they share. From their first tense interactions to their slowly growing friendship. Then as she’s completely clueless to his hints & he’s uncertain how to woo her. There are so many memorable scenes!! That one where she has an allergic reaction & the way he responds?? SWOON!!! 🫠🫠🫠

Okay, I could gush forever. Onto other things I really like about this.

The ML never looks down on the FL because of her age, nor does he overpower her with his opinions about things. He never tries to control or manipulate her, never demands she change. He loves her exactly as she is and always encourages her to chase her dreams - he’s a total green flag 💚

The FL, in turn, is so supportive of the ML’s career. She doesn’t make unfair demands on his time, nor does she try to guilt him when emergencies arise that cause him to bail on/be late for plans with her. She’s a steady source of love and care for him to depend on. One who makes the ML take notice immediately and set out to pursue and cherish her. She’s totes girl crush worthy 😍

I truly love this drama. I love how they bring the best out in each other. In the safety of the ML’s love, the FL matures & flourishes in her personal & professional life. And under the influence of the FL’s cheerfulness, the ML experiences carefree & happy moments. They have a mutual respect & appreciation for each other that really shows how beautiful love can be. How beautiful it SHOULD be.

Even when stuff comes up or they have misunderstandings/lover’s spats, they both work to understand each other & meet in the middle. Yes, it’s more often the ML guiding the way due to his age & life experience, but the FL is always trying to be an equal partner for him. And I really like how the love rivals are dealt with. In both cases (SML pursuing FL & SFL chasing ML) the ML handles it so well. The scene of his confession in front of his colleagues… perfection! Absolutely adore the way he was only concerned about the FL’s feelings, not what it would look like to his superiors nor how it would affect the SFL. And the way he chased after her - gahhhh!!! He’s such a winner!!

Another thing I think was done very well is their reconciliation. 1) it wasn’t drug out for lots of episodes. 2) in their pain, they didn’t lash out or try to hurt one another (ie: try to make one another jealous, lie that they’re totally fine, etc.) 3) when they reconcile, it’s done. They don’t hold grudges, use past mistakes as a weapon or tool of manipulation, or cast blame. It happened, an apology was made, forgiveness was given, they’re still very deeply in love, and that’s that. Kudos, writer(s)!!

Their moments together are adorable and their kisses make your heart just melt 🫠 If you haven’t watched this yet, you’re totally missing out on experiencing a beautiful love story 🫶🏻

***Be sure to watch the end of each episode for a short bonus video that is cuteness overload! Also, have tissues because this show has the potential to make you shed quite a few tears…

24eps isn’t enough!!

A sweet love story between a shy girl & the smartest boy in class.

Her family has just moved to town & she’s feeling awkward & misplaced. Thankfully, she quickly makes new friends who help her settle in at school. Much to her mother’s annoyance, though, she’s not a top student. She’d rather lose herself in her artwork than study for hours. But as she grows closer to the ML, she’s inspired to get serious about her studies & plan for the future. Her college entrance exams don’t go well, though, so she’s left behind to try again while her closest friends move onto the next phase of life. Will she be able to remain strong & keep trying when the people who helped her make it through each day are no longer by her side?

He’s always been popular & good at everything. School comes easy to him & he’s on the path to pursue his dreams at college. Those plans expand to include the FL, though, as they interact more & their feelings grow. But will their bond survive when they’re separated by distance? When familial tragedy strikes, he pushes her away in his quest to not cause her further stress. But when his efforts succeed & she no longer seeks him out, he realizes just his much he needs her. Can he win back her affection or are they destined to be just a youthful memory for one another?

This is 1 of my favorite youth dramas. They’re so flippin’ cute together! I love watching their dislike of each other turn into admiration & respect for one another. Their friendship is so beautiful & their bond so pure. I adore watching them become more than friends. The trust, the loyalty, the bff vibes… The way these two love each other is pure couple goals & what I wish every first love could be! 🫶🏻

DYX isn't the lead, good acting but overdramatic script, slow until Ep19 but great twists later.

Things I Like
The picture, camera work, mood, and music are really good. They build up excitement despite the slow progression in the first half of the series. I like the backstory cuts. There are plenty of puzzles, plot twists, and unexpected unraveling, especially in the second half of the series, where it becomes really good. There are a lot of secrets you won't be able to guess, and it keeps you excited to know more. If you are still doubting, give it a try. I still think it is worth watching. You might feel frustrated at police in the beginning but just keep trusting that there will be reasonable explainations later and it will get better. The business, the fraud makes it more interesting to me. The plot is not just about fighting and investigating. It's fun to see characters take turn to outwit each other both in business and crime cases.

What Could Be Better
The Plot
The puzzles, plot twists, and unraveling are actually great. Starting from Episode 19, the story progresses much better. If we were to rate the series from there, it would easily score a 8.5-9.5 because you finally see both the officials and gangsters working together toward the same truths, leading to progress and some success in the investigation. It would have made a huge difference if this had started earlier.

The plot could have been way more interesting if Binbin were the center of the story, connecting business (Wen Zixuan), gangsters (Bao Chen Yan), and officials (Xing Liang), secretly building collaboration and planning the investigation from all sides. I think that was the producers' original intention, but they failed to show it. Instead, it was filled with unnecessary drama and meaningless tension between these three sides—a total waste.

Characters
DYX (Binbin): If you are a fan of DYX, you will be very, very disappointed. Honestly, he is not the main lead—not even close. DYX has very little screen time, and his role is just as little significant as Tianyi's, which is purely supportive in the overall investigation. The producers clearly used his name and popularity to lure viewers in. The claim that "the lost gun" is central to the story is the biggest lie in the promo. The story is not about Binbin or his gun. To make matters worse, his character is portrayed as just a spoiled, and sensitive boy with no charisma as a young, promising police officer. Even when he finds information and evidence, it doesn’t come across as "genius techniques." Instead, it’s just "he’s friendly and talkative." So WARNING: If you watch this expecting DYX to appear and take the lead, it will ruin your mood. This series is not that bad if you watch without the expectation about DYX's role. The key is this will give him oppotunities for wider range of roles.

Xing Liang: XL is not the main lead either. His character is boring, with no depth. He’s simply an inflexible, rigid, and upright police officer—that’s it.

Bao Chen Yan: The real main lead is BCY. Though labeled a "supporting role," the entire story revolves around him—from his background, his rise to power, his friendships, his enemies, his hopes, his business, and his loved ones. This isn't that his acting outshined others either, it's just the plot making it this way. His character isn't built for ML and to have whole series about him like this. He is pretty dumb and shallow. It just shows that the screenwriter and director have lost in a completely wrong direction. Also, his accent feels overly pretentious. Younger BCY seemed much more natural and didn’t act too recklessly.

Dian Lao'er is my favorite. He is funny and helps is audience A LOT to go through the first half. This character is perfect, plot or acting. Dian Lao'er with his weird eyes is on point, very believable.

SL and WZX's Daughter: I get that she’s not important to the plot, and we may pretend adults don't allow her to hear about adults' issues, so she stays in her room. But the couple made so many fresh-cooked meals.. lol and she’s not allowed to join them?? There are a lot of character inconsistencies. Characters like Tianyi and Dian Lao'er inexplicably have the same hairstyle and hair color for 10 years. (but someone comments about this "perm on this new haircut"). They used a young cast for BCY nine years ago but the older cast for scenes 11 years ago. lol
Alright, I'm being too picking on this, we can still ignore these minor issues...

But gangster credibility though... the director fails to convince me that these gangsters or mafia are "cruel." They just hit each other with sticks and tools. Sun Chang Hai running around and jumping off windows is supposed to make him a "skilled assassin" and "tough"? Come on. For people with so much money and illegal activity, not even one of them owns an illegal gun? Ridiculous. Some of the fight scenes aren’t realistic. A big group of gangsters can't even fight against 2 simple guys, whole station of police and SWAT can't catch anyone. (Only person SWAT team can shoot down is the one who shouldn't be dead.)

Script
The director tries too hard to give the characters complex relationships, but it just makes them annoyingly unreasonable and contradictory.

- When BCY reminded Binbin about his dad's wish for him to be a police officer (a weird obsession in itself), Binbin said, "No one cares whether I am comfortable being a police," but later said, "This is my only goal in life."
- XL is almost useless at times with his favorite line, "This is the rule." I’m fed up with all his blaming Binbin for losing the gun. Binbin was attacked during an operation. He should be given compensation and a new gun, not blamed. Sometimes XL tells Binbin, "Remember, you are still a police with responsibilities/ Find your gun," and other times, "Don't ask, don't come, don't do anything," Like.. what do you want him to do???
- WZX is incredibly annoying. She gets mad at XL for being a crime suppression police but also wants XL to support his brother stay in police position. She never listens to her husband’s advice but later blames him for letting her in danger.

Acting
Most of the actors did well—too well for such a silly plot. From XL's wanting to be the police to prove he can save his family, WZX overconcern about XL's safety being a police, to Binbin don't want to disappoint his late dad. These reasons are not enough to be so emotional. Good acting with these plots only makes them seem overly dramatic over nothing.

I am a fan of DYX but I have to admit that some of his scenes feel a little forced, for instance, his first few breakdowns, and his idol-series acting style—with a cute angry-sulky face when arguing with his bros—doesn’t fit this genre. Tianyi sometimes acts more naturally and more mature than him. However, DYX’s acting improves over the course of the series. I was particularly impressed in the final few episodes.

However I still feel like I can watch it again.

Our Beautiful Summer - a beautiful show

I watched this free on HiTV. It's only two episodes, but it made me get all the feels.

It's the story of the intense grief of loss, how everyone copes (or doesn't cope) with it differently. It's about a young lady that has built a protective wall around herself. She's suffered a lot in her 19 years, and you feel that she doesn't open up because she doesn't want to get hurt again. The neighborhood boys, each in their own way, try to scale that wall and get her to open up.

The boys' grief also involves the sense of guilt they each feel. Through the friendship of these four people, healing is able to take place.

It was told in such a way that it kind of felt like I was spying on their lives. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend this show.

When revenge & love mix…

A young woman whose life was destroyed by her father’s mistress decides to get revenge by targeting the woman’s son. But when she gets to know him and learns all her beliefs about him are wrong her feelings turn from hate to love. Society and their families would never approve of them being together, so how could these lovers ever get a happy ending?

I began this drama without knowing what I was getting into. And honestly, I think that’s the best way to watch this one so I’m not gonna write a very long or detailed review. Everything needs to be discovered by experiencing the joys and pains of these characters right alongside them. So I’ll keep this brief and encourage you to push play if you’re in the mood for a melodrama.

This drama gives both pain and comfort. It makes you hurt for all the Leads have endured at the hands of their parents. It shows how much the children suffer from the adults choices. It also shows how you can’t just assume someone’s life is all hunky-dory by viewing it from the outside. We all face pain, we’re all going through stuff. We all need a friend, a confidant, a person who’s on our side no matter what comes.

We all need to love and be loved.

The siblings are lovely. Though they don’t share with each other their daily struggles, they know when the others need them and they step up without fail. They speak in the silence without using words.

The Leads are so good together. They do an amazing job with their gazes, their body movements, their tones. There’s so much being said when neither are speaking. Truly talented cast!

Yes, I would’ve loved to see them more as a couple, but that wasn’t the point of this drama so I can be content with the happy ending we got. Their smiles say it all 💗

I want to scream

I stayed up until 2AM on a school night to finish this damn drama and regreted nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I love every single moment in this drama from season 1 to 2. Scratch Kim Doki, Wang Tao Zi is da goat. I love how they mix comedy, crime and action together to an entertaining masterpiece. Also the music gets me HYPED it starts, I love it so fcking much. The sad thing about this drama is that most of the cases in it are based on true stories which I find extremely heartbreaking. I prefer season 2 better because I felt that it had more mystery and more interesting cases than season 1. Anyhow I WANT TO CRY RIGHT NOW CUZ I’M SO SAD THAT THIS DRAMA CAME TO AN END, CAN’T WAIT FOR SEASON 3!! ahhh

TOPS. Other dramas better be learning from this one!

A drama way ahead of its times!!
THE drama.
It's the drama that tries to do a lot of things and actually does them immaculately.
It's 2024, soon to be 2025 and I'm still obsessed.

Happy ending for those wondering, this drama is packed with a solid love theme with action, mystery, adventure and a bit of family politics! Keeps you entertained and at the edge of your seat with anticipation.

The cast and acting is superb and perfect. It will break your heart and then gently put all those pieces back together for you.

Till date, Ji Chang Wook has remained my favourite actor and that's not going to change for a while. That man is something else. Istg.

Park Minyoung's character is unhinged and powerful. I fell in love with the three leads and then some!

The plot was PLOTTING. Everything about it is wonderful and it's definitely one drama I'm going rewatch again and again and again . And this is me saying that as a very seasoned watcher. And so it means SOMETHING.
