Based on the trailer and first episode <3
Based on the first episode, I can already tell Head 2 Head is going to be a really good series. I love that Sea is finally playing a more extroverted character instead of his usual quiet roles, it’s such a refreshing change. The dynamic between Jinn (Keen) and Jerome (Sea) is super fun to watch, especially seeing how easily Jinn gets irritated by Jerome’s personality.I’m really looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops throughout the series. My expectations are pretty high, especially after how promising the trailer looked, and so far, episode one definitely didn’t disappoint.
(Don’t really base anything off of my ratings rn)

This promises to be a fun riot and super cute!!! Reminds me of Bad Buddy!
The starting of this drama instantly reminded me of the big daddy of enemies-to-lovers series - Bad Buddy....and my Pookies Sea-Keen made me fall in love with it, as always!!BL-needle Score: 8 High BL-ness
What's not to like!!... Sea-Keen with their delish chemistry, the endless banters, steeped in every known cute-trope possible, and a rest of the cast that is sooo easy on the eye....we definitely seem to have got a winner on our hands...
Sea-Keen are my favourite pair among the new ones from GMMTV...other than their bang-on chemistry, both have reasonably good acting skills that is improving with every drama, and they have also chosen diverse types of characters even when they have only done the same cutesy-tropey romance genre, which is quite commendable!
And the way Ep 1 ended...that's exactly what was prescribed - a car crash injury for J just serious enough to break his arm so that he has to be nursed, undressed, washed (wink wink), cared for, and melted to the exact temperature needed 😍 by the 'Boy of his dreams'
This looks all set to become my go to drama for tropey-comfort ...I knew my Pookies will not disappoint 🥰

It was so good
In the first 5 episode was good, maybe because it was similar to the novel or maybe just because SeaKeen and SurfJava have a great chemistry and their story were intruiguing. But right now the director point of view is starting to show and you can see both their storyline are going nowhere. Last 2 episodes really just running in circle, still no explanation to the visions and still no progression in Van growing. It's getting disappointingWas this review helpful to you?
Não senti vontade de continuar
Head 2 Head não funcionou pra mim. Em vários momentos, a sensação foi a de estar assistindo a uma colagem de ideias que já vi antes, sem identidade própria.A dinâmica dos protagonistas lembra muito Bad Buddy (rivalidade + tensão emocional) mas sem o mesmo desenvolvimento gradual que fez a relação ali funcionar.
Ao mesmo tempo, a trama tenta flertar com um tom quase místico/dramático que fez lembrar de The Magic Prophecy, só que de forma superficial, como se os elementos estivessem ali mais pelo impacto do que pela construção da história.
O problema não é a possível inspiração, e sim a falta de personalidade. A série parece querer ser várias coisas ao mesmo tempo, mas que na minha opinião acaba não se destacando em nenhuma.
Os personagens também não me passam aquela sensação de "Nossa, que pessoas interessantes, não vejo a hora de ver como a história deles vai se desenrolar". Acho que os personagens não tem brilho, não tem algo que faça eles mais únicos sabe.
Não acho que seja ruim, mas é uma história batida, com personagens e casais que não me cativaram.
