Fondness: Level Infinity
I don't know if what I would write would contain spoilers but here goes everything!Myung-ha is such a lovely character, it embodies love and gentleness. It is such a great memorabilia to witness a character of his, it makes me realize that a character would exist to make me believe that somehow there is a person out there who would be just like him in many other ways.
Yeo-woon, a vulnerable yet strong character. What a sight to see, where he embodies the characteristics of a person who experiences life in a shocking way, losing someone and somehow everything you have been doing for so long becomes something you do because you have to continue and that almost everything feels forced upon you. Such a realistic character.
Both characters evolved and improved individually and as one. I love how they blended to fit each other's missing piece ❤️
I'm such a romantic when it comes to my reviews (and bad at it as well 😆) but it is such a nice refreshment (also for my tears 🥲) after a while of hardcore series that I've been watching!! ❤️

i love everything about this drama.
the ost: geez, its so catchy!
the acting: i love how every actor is acting with their whole body. the nuances were great. don't let you fool you from the first kiss. ;)
the plot - how it's unfolding episode per episode.
the humour: i am a sucker for sarcasm and goddamn, myung ha serves really well.
the characters - i hate love triangles, but love for loves sake serves from this day on my favourite love triangle, because all the characters are just absolutely likeable and endless adorable. loved myung has self-talks. but also yeo woon has such a golden personality. they all have their flaws, but it doesnt make them less likeable. at most even more relateable. i clicked with all the characters a lot and thats also the reason why i am that much emotionally connected to the drama. my eyes got teary all the time towards the ending.
the pacing: i wasnt bored at all. not a single second. i devoured every scene and rewinded all the time, to see some parts multiple times (it took me 14 hours to finish this show lmao)
the depth: yeah, you will realize pretty quickly that this show serves absolutely nice humour, but is also capeable of way more than just being funny.
the emotions.
everything.
i expected a light, fluffy, funny drama. i loved the game theme! i like transmigration and it sounded fun. but this drama is really not compareable to any other bl out there. its refreshing, new, innovative. it had me seated and i was so overwhelmed, because i got really excited and thrilled in a short time.
the ending was absolutely satisfying. for me, it wasnt predictable at all. i was so stunned multiple times through the show and that got me even more excited, because most of the dramas today are a bit boring, when it comes to this. they use the same old tropes over and over again and you already know what will happen. but love for loves sake surprised me multiple times and that made me sooo excited. its thrilling. and i couldnt imagine a better ending for this show. 0.5 stars reduced, because there are things about the plot, where i am not fully sure if i understood them correctly. if they would have made them more clear, it would be an easy 10/10
The wait was ABSOLUTELY worth it and i dont miss any second of the 14 hours, that it took me, to finish this drama.

If David Lynch made a BL, it would be this one
Damn this one was good. Like really really good. Who let David Lynch direct a BL?? Who knows! But I really loved this one and it deserves all the praise it gets! I did initially knock half a point down for the seemingly slow start but after that hurdle it was smooth sailing from there! I believe I'm not exaggerating with my 10/10 rating. This series is so good it made me get a subscription to a streaming service, I mean if that doesn't sell you idk what will.Was this review helpful to you?

Unique Story
This was very good series. I normally do not like Korea BL because even with high budget, facial plastic surgery handsome actors, the acting and pacing is usually terrible. The kissing scenes were terrible in this drama per usual, but the final scene showed warm hugging, without hands in pockets or being 3 feet apart, and without being awkward. The storyline was very interesting, and mysterious, and very unique. The acting was pretty good too, and except for the known villains (the rotten parents), the adults in this series were not that terrible. The messaging of this series was very positive, and given mental health issues in Korea, it was delivered very clearly, and succinctly.I recommend this series as it has drama, humor, angst and comedy, all wrapped up in an interesting story and great cast.

The story is so good
This bl is one of the most interesting and best bl I have watched and it's a 10 star and fully recommended. The story us about a 29 Yr old man who try commit suicide but is given another chance to live himself by the death through a game where he needs to fulfill his missons while doing, his structure of the game changes which is to date cha yeo woon, a cold boy but his other side is so different. And the plot is amazing. The story and acting is jus so good I don't know how to express it in words 🤧. And the actors are also soo good loling. Just fully recommended 💯Was this review helpful to you?
when you love someone selflessly , you end up loving yourself too .
I won't say its relatable for me , i wish it was though . the cinematography , the concept and the execution is all too good to be true . Its a really good story , its hard to love yourself when you love someone else selflessly but now that I watched this masterpiece , I think you start to love yourself when you love someone selflessly. If you wish to know how that feels , then you must enter the love for loves sake zone .Was this review helpful to you?
Everything should be started within ourselves
To be honest, I'm still a bit confused about the storyline since anything related to sc-fi thingy is really not my forte.But overall, I can understand the big moral story here, that everything should be started within ourselves.
We should love ourselves before loving others, should be happy before making others happy, because how can we make other happy and loved if we don't have those feeling in ourselves?
The acting was great, I love to see Lee Tae Vin specifically because he could portray his character really well, the sadness, frustration, depression, and happiness, all those could be seen in his eyes, in his expression.
His chemistry with Cha Joo Wan is something that make this series loved by many. It is no wonder that this series has got such a high rating here.
The kissing scene at the beach is actually sweet and romantic but somehow the background music was kinda annoying for me.
It's really a worth to watch series, highly recommend it.

Best Korean Boys Love
I really like this drama, especially the chemistry of the good and handsome main cast, for the story and visuals of this drama is very good, and for the kiss scene to be so real it makes me enjoy this drama so much. And the way of shooting is so good plus extraordinary cinematic. Perhaps the shortcomings of Korean Boys Love are only the lack of additional duration and episodes that are so short 8 episodes. I hope there is a 2nd season for this love for love's sake drama. I repeated watching this drama so good.Was this review helpful to you?
LFLS the best
I really enjoyed this drama. Because of visaul and also a good story. For the main actor himself, it is very good to animate the character of this drama. Even for kissing scenes they are very natural. In episodes 7 and 8 I was very moved from their story And very satisfied and happy with the extraordinary ending, for that I had difficulty move on from this drama. For Korean boys love LFLS this is really the best for me. And I hope this can be a continuation of the story of season 2 of this LFLS drama with this cast that is so amazing. And the lack of all KBL is only from a short duration and episodes that are only 8 episodes. I hope to enjoy a long duration and quite long episodes as well. Thanks.Was this review helpful to you?
Screaming and Crying
One of the very few BLs to actually have me extremely emotional and straight up sob at any given notice. The initial episode already hooks you in with the gimmick of the MC being inside of a game. Extremely unique and I found the dating simulator aspect of this BL to be really fun and engaging. And without spoiling the show, the twist at the end with this exact gimmick is done so well and really tugs on the heart strings. I also don't really want to say much else since I truly do think every BL fan should dive into this BL head first and completely blind.Was this review helpful to you?
A great starter for 2024!
Give kbls enough budget and a good writer then we can have this kind of masterpiece again in the future. Also, let’s normalize casting mainstream actors to play in bls bc they know what they’re doing i mean look at lee taevin?? Nothing against nugu idols or rookie actors, they can still be casted and they’re the backbones of kbls but having mainstream actors in this makes so much difference.As for the series itself, i found it really interesting, a romance fantasy genre that works really well without having to look lame and cheap in execution? Who would have thought! Japanese bls are usually the experts in this area but i can see the future for kbls to excel in this kind of genre too, just give them enough budget and good writing also good actors if it’s not too much to ask for.

So good that made me believe love is actually real
I'm not kidding when I say this is the best kbl I have watched, it's beautiful, interesting, funny, dramatic, it has ALL.The main characters have such a great story and chemistry and you see it since the first interaction, they're so cute and funny.
I knew taevin thanks to penthouse so I already knew that his acting was not joke, but seeing him with a totally different role was crazy, I loved it.
This is my first time watching Joowan and he's amazing too, I really loved his expressions and I just feel like everyone was cast perfectly for their characters. They did such a great job, everything was just so smooth and natural.
The story is amazing, five minutes into the fisrt episode and I was so immersed. Even if the drama is kind of short, the story doesn't feel rushed. One of the things I love more about the story is the plot twist, is so good and there's no word to describe how I felt when I was watching it. Also, angst was so good that I cried the whole scene, paused and took a five minute break to continue.
The shots are beautiful, the editing is mindblowing, ost perfect for each scene and situation. Really, the best kbl I have watched.
