Connecting to You

Thread of Love is Red not Pink

The plot is really good, I just wish they utilize more the power of thread. Also, I hope they gave Dawei and Jiakai more scenes like how they decided to become a boyfriend, their dating and domestic life at the end. Because most of the scenes from the first episodes end up using by Jiakai's best friends scenes and I think some of them are pure nonsense.

The acting by the two main leads is really great and their chemistry is lovey dovey. It's been a while since Taiwan gave me this kind of slow burn BL without NC scenes but worth to watch at the end. Everytime I see them on my screen together, I want to hug them because my heart can contains my happiness. I hope they can work together with another BL series in the future.

Also if you don't skip the outro of every episodes, I'm loving the advice of Ms. Peggy. The advices and lessons is actually very helpful and fun to learn so I'm glad they added it at the end of every episodes. ^_^

Finally, I just wish they gave us 1 more kiss at the end of episode because what do you when we only got that cockroach kiss in the whole series? I hope they atleast give us a special episode with Dawei and Jiakai's domestic life, maybe the continuation of their dating on the amusement park? Anyways, overall it's worth to watch so I will recommend it. :)

Somethinv bingewatchable after a long time

I absolutely loved this drama. Although it's not popular I literally binge watched it till ep 8 and then sat sad after i realised it was still on air😭

The story seems simple at first glance but it's really well done and has a lot of depth. I like how well the main characters are written. Like for example, Chia Kai looks like this clumsy, scared, good for nothing kid but is someone who is brave enough to standup for strangers eventhough he is afraid on the other hand we have Da Wei who seems like this cold, capable cop but despite being a strong excellent cop he still fears his dad. Although his dad could no longer hurt him. He was like a fly trapped in a jar which never left the jar even after the lid was opened.

I liked how they handled the thread situation. Showing us that they would still be fine even without it and how complicated both their families were unlike the usual dramas where characters usually stay in 1 layer here the characters were gray and had a lot of layers. Their decisions seemed to be someone anyone would take if they were in that situation.

Overall i really loved it❤️

10/10 This drama is a absolute gem!

Calling the chemistry bad just because they aren't eating each other's faces off is straight-up brainrot. Connecting to You is a fantastic show precisely because it relies on solid writing, tender moments, and actual character connection rather than cheap, physical fan-service. They didn't have to sell sex to make a top-tier romance, and the fact that some viewers can't appreciate that is entirely on them.

Their soft, lovey-dovey interactions are literally so funny and sweet—they actually had me grinning at my screen. Please watch this guys, worth it 10/10!

Cute, worth watching

Note: I am using spellings from kisskh. The romanizations/transliterations in the subtitles use a different system.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Bruce Chiu as Lin Chia Kai is believable as a somewhat oblivious college student and Liu Yu Ren does a good job of portraying a stern police officer. Lin Da Her as Chia Kai's friend Chao Nan was at first a bit obnoxious to me, but with time he "grew on me."
Kate Pang as the psychologist/professor Peggy makes an appearance at the end of each episode, giving a quick piece of advice to a viewer of her "live streams." This occurs in the middle of the closing credits, so if you want to see her, do not click away at the end of the episode.
Overall, the series is light and gentle, but be aware that there are some more intense moments, particularly in episode 12.

Cute, clever, funny - who could ask for anything more.

This was just so fun. Jiakai is a very sweet, slightly hapless psychic determined to always help people through his unusual power -- though his interventions are not always appreciated. Only Jiakai would think that stripping naked on a rooftop is the best way to prevent a person from 'final jumping'. During the rooftop episode he meets police officer Dawei who dubs him, considering his state of undress, 'Student Pervert.' Then their paths keep crossing during Jiakai's "rescue missions." where he uses his rather different psychic power.
Both characters were well developed and fun - the romance was delightfully bumbling at first and very sweet when it got going.
This series just left me with a happy smile on my face

Fluffy, Feel Good, Amazing + A Beautiful Storyline…

Helpppppppp!!! I am very very obsessed with this series. I just binged the first four episodes and i have no words to describe it 😭😭😭

Or wait, I actually do have words to describe it. SO GOOD! I enjoyed watching this and had moments where I was just laughing out loud. It’s such a fun watch OMG I’m surprised.

I didn’t read the synopsis or anything, just found it and decided to start it with little to no expectation and IT IMPRESSED ME.

Great acting, solid chemistry, interesting storyline, beautiful visuals, you name it.

Sorry I can’t keep writing because I’m off to rewatch the first four episodes all over again as I wait for the new episode.

Stop reading reviews!!!! Join the watch train ASAP

(FIRST EDIT: 8 episodes later, still solid, just wished the romance was more fleshed out, but still a good watch)

quirky comedy, romance, crime series

Overall: though I did like the main couple and several side characters, the tone was all over the place. 12 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired on Connecting to You YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA97yNFVRehg ; GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/8579/connecting-to-you-2026-e01 ; iQIYI https://www.iq.com/album/connecting-to-you-2026-2fbr7b78pud?lang=en_us ; Viki viki.com/tv/41629c-connecting-to-you ; Rakuten TV ; MyVideo and friDay

Content Warnings: near suicide (ep 1 skip 2:30-5), bloody nose, child abuse (ep 3 skip 8:45-17:20), manipulation, fight, held against will, attempted murders past death

What I Liked
- unique premise
- different personalities
- caring moments/relationship
- supportive friend and grandmother

Room For Improvement
- exposition/world building dump to start
- some of the humor didn't work for me
- the balance was off, it's as if the series couldn't decide what it wanted to be: comedy, romance or detective/serious cases and then didn't do any of them really well
- that pos dad should have had more consequences
- needed more confirmation of their relationship status in the finale
