Great drama!!!

I really enjoyed this drama! I saw clips of it on TikTok and had to check it out, plus i was watching another drama at the same time with the same FL. My favorite part about this drama was not even the romance, it was the friend group (ESPECIALLY GU RAN). I really enjoy simple dramas with a good storyline and characters! Also i'm so happy they didn't kill off the grandma because I really enjoyed her character! The only thing that made me mad in this drama was RangRang's mother, smh - I dont know what is up with Chinese dramas and giving the male leads terrible moms. I wanted to come through the screen a couple of times , and I didn't like how we didn't really get a resolve with it , it got swept under the rug :(
10/10 would recommend!

Almost perfect. Deserve to be called best cdrama of 2023

Romance, adventure, brotherhood, sisterhood, love in its many forms, all can be seen in this drama. I really liked that this story does not end when the leads got together but goes beyond and proved again and again that they really are the perfect match for each other. The characters make logical or at least understandable decisions, love is not their end all be all, except maybe for one character, but he moved on from that. My favorite side characters are Yanying and Yuan Lu. Yanying's arc in particular was so satisfying, her growth from a timid princess to an outstanding leader. Yuan Lu always brings freshness whenever he's in a scene. Another unforgettable character who gave me mixed feelings was Li Tongguang. I didn't like him and his shenanigans but he kept mesmerizing me and I keep rooting for his happy ending.

If you want a respite of the many love centric dramas then this one's for you.

This series was OK, not great or bad, just OK

I liked the premise of the story and the story itself was fine. It was a little bit different twist on the college story, there wasn't one engineer in the whole thing! All kidding aside, they explored how families can affect relationships, and how parents can unintentionally mess up their kids by stuff the parents say and do. The acting was good, and this was clean and something even your Grandma could watch.

I think part of the problem with this story it seems to drag in places, they could have edited this down to 8 episodes and had a much more cohesive story. For almost 12 hours of runtime, not a whole lot happens, at least not compared to something like A Tale of Thousand Stars, Not Me, or Manner of Death.

The other direction they could have gone is explored the side characters more. For example, Wave and Trin, they seemed to have some unresolved issues (possibly romantic?) even at the end of the series. Kot and Pat really didn't add much to the series, there were lots of ways those characters could have rounded out this series, possibly with those two dating each other, or showing more than a passing scene with them. Poor Nita barely got to speak during the whole show, and the story loosely revolves around her and the two leads. Then you throw in a stalker for a few minutes randomly.

I did enjoy this, but it wasn't the best thing I watched recently. It is worth watching, but don't think you are going to be watching a memorable or groundbreaking series.

garbage

It never fails to amaze me how utterly imbecile xianxias can be, but this one certainly is unbeatable on all categories.

Half the episodes are unnecessary fighting scenes that had more FX budget than a DC movie. I am not exaggerating. The other half has every annoying thing under the sun. It doesn't, however, have a coherent storyline.

Watching this is like suffering from an aneurysm and not knowing up from down, only confusion and anger. Be warned that the first ten or so episodes are nothing but a hook to lure you in an enemies to lovers story only... It's not really this. The heroine doesn't really love the ML and the ML is supposedly to be a villain but he is just a loser that got bullied so much he started to accept that his wife could bully him even more and shatter all his expectations (which is only one, no betrayal).

Do not watch this, its plot is ridiculously convoluted and nothing makes sense. Every cliche on the bingo card is included in the most anger indulcing fashion. The writers were truly outstanding -- they did misunderstanding elevated to new heights with this one.

I have never ever watched something so annoying in all my life. I was almost spitting blood like all the characters on all the episodes I had the unfortunate luck to watch. We need a tag for stupid storylines like this one so I could just exclude them from my searches.

Underrated drama worth watching

I was surprised I hadn’t heard too much about this drama and just happen to come across it. I was immediately hooked and binge watched the entire 20 episodes in two days. It was a snowy weekend and not much to do. But I was drawn to the story (somewhat unique), the casting (I’m a fan of Pakho, Venus was somewhat convincing, and the rest of the cast was pretty decent), the way the drama was filmed (had a movie feel to it), and the story (reminds me of a tamed down anime with characters that have special powers or psychological control over others). While the special powers did not seem realistic, the story and casting were enough to keep me going. I would actually recommend this somewhat different thriller drama, and I tend to be quite critical of dramas from TVB nowadays.

epic love story

oh my word. I can’t even begin to tell you how this show suckered me in and never let go. It was action packed from scene 1 and the rest is history.

The cast, the supporting casts, the music, this was the total package. I haven’t seen a show this good in a loooong time. Liu Yuning killed it. I think he made the show this good, whoever said that he isn’t male lead material or not good looking enough needs to get their eyes checked. Trust me, I’m an eye doctor ;)

FL is such a badass, I loved her. She is so beautiful and so strong. You love their love story, you get to know all the side characters and will care about everyone.. and you pray for the HEA for them all …

It's an entertaining watch . The acting is amazing specially Luo cause we could always connect with him . In many dramas I feel like why did he that but he expressed his emotions really well. The production team did a great job . The growth of his character was gradual .Beautiful costume, great cgi and the fighting scenes are so well coordinated. The chemistry between the leads was so good. Even in a story mainly focused on agnst they were able to give us moments that would give us butterflies . Not a big fan of second couple but the sfl did well in playing the villian role.
Third cp was such great addition to the drama. I liked pian rian bond with ye xiwu and ttj

The writing is bad! The drama only focused on creating drama and more drama, without any regards of the characters personality and development. Although I really like the main actors, I can't continue watching because of the poor writing. This drama has the worst FL. As a mother she's never there for her daughter, and she's even worst as a wife. As an absent mother, she desperately holding on to her daughter, without caring about how her actions hurt her daughter. As an absent wife, she demand her husband to be as loyal as a dog and accommodate her every needs. She also cheat on her husband emotionally ( cheating is cheating, wether emotionally or physically ). And despite all of that, the drama portray FL as a victim, the purest, most pitiful angel. FL is supposed to be a very well accomplished person, smart, successful, resourceful, and yet she doesn't show any bit of rational or logical thinking in any of her actions.

The movie has a good ending

Yoon Ho almost confessed but was too afraid to say how he really feels to Jae woon. They are both men, he is sick and he doesn't want his best friend to leave once he knew how he felt. How sad can this be?
Jae wons pov was to short but certain, he also likes yoon ho but he also did not confess! He did not confess but he acknowledged yoon hos feelings!
It must be hard living in that era and loving a person with the same gender.
I am glad that they have seol as their friend, specially to yoon ho, she is inlove with him and she knows yoon ho like jae won but she didnt betray yoon ho. She is a very good friend.

Don't Say No, Just Watch More!

Getting past the silly concept of "Fruit Samurai", and despite the awkward, way-too-long dance scenes that happen early in the show, Gaim is a stellar entry into the Kamen Rider franchise. The characters here are written with great depth and are very interesting. The fight choreography is good and the suit designs are great. Oren Pierre Alphonso is one of my favorite characters in any Kamen Rider series. I do have to say it has its issues though. It frequently has to find time to insert crossovers to other things such as upcoming movies - between important plot points they will arbitrarily add in weird moments for the sake of making these things episodes. On top of that, watching the group dance is strange. It's like they wanted to do something like Sega's Jet Set Radio franchise, but they couldn't show their protagonists doing something illegal like spray painting, but they still wanted that "street" feeling, so they put in these silly dance scenes. However, you're gonna want to stick around to see the great way the characters develop through the series, the cool suit designs, and the interesting twists and turns of the plot. Amazing stuff!

A good drama but it needed more

I can say that this drama was quite good for one of the first BLs I ever watched. The storyline was captivating and I fell for the actor's chemistry. The plot was quite interesting and the concept of 'monos' and 'probes' was executed well throughout the drama, with monos avoiding probes with fear of having a dangerous obsession. This drama could have been quite dark but it was made so that it had possibilities of being light hearted. They did the plot justice and it's a great watch if you want something short but sweet.

Let me say that I know different viewers love different tropes, and I know toxic or forced relationships are not for everyone. The relationship between Yeon Woo and Yoo Han...I wouldn't call it toxic but I also wouldn't call it perfect. Yoo Han seems to captivate Yeon Woo, maybe because of his personality, but I would say their relationship is built upon the 'mono and probe' aspect. It could be considered love but the concept is something I've never seen before in a drama, let alone a BL. Although their type of relationship was not really for me, their acting and chemistry was great and they made the romance look seemingly natural, although it did feel a bit rushed at the end.

Yoo Jun's acting was amazing and his character was well written. Though I feel that the plot to his missing mother needed more storyline to it. He acted exactly like I imagined his character would- reserved but also unsure, and possibly scared of his relationship with Yoo Han. Heo Hyun Jun was a bit robotic at times, but he still did his character justice and served the character 'hot idol' well.

The music was amazing and overall, I believe what this drama needed to truly be 10/10 is more time. In such a short time span (8x15) this story was not able to flow as well as it should have. If the episodes were longer, we could have had so many more possibilites to the characters and the side plots, as well as the 'mono probe' aspect.

Overall, this drama is a great one time watch and a good opener to BL dramas.
