How Did This Come from the Director of Love for Love’s Sake?
I really wanted to like this drama, mostly because it’s from the same director as one of my absolute favorite K-BL series, Love for Love’s Sake. But alas, it was so disappointing. I still can’t believe it’s the same director who made LFLS.The screenwriter(s) did a terrible job. Three countries (Korea, Thailand, and China) were involved, and the result was still terrible. The storytelling was really bad. Honestly, WeTV should have just given the production to a Korean team instead of a Thai team. I really wonder what they were thinking.
I hope WeTV reads the comments and improves in the future. For their first original K-BL, they did a really poor job. It was so boring that I almost gave up and just wanted to rewatch Love for Love’s Sake again and again.

A Bit Disappointing
I enjoyed the premiee. The ML wakes up after an accident missing 10 years of his life's memory and has to rediscover his past. He has difficulty coming to terms with his new living situation and even has to relive some of his old traumas.It started off very interesting but there are some parts which don't make sense. Why did he think he and SaeByeok were enemies and why he couldn't imagine they were together given their past relationship? There is a scene where he was fighting with him 10 years ago but fhat situation was not clarified.
Overall the drama is nice but everything feels a bit dull and muted. There are also things that don't make sense. Like why not have security camera just in case you catch your stalker. Why the police was so incompetent? Why quit your career? Very strange.
There were moments when the episode felt like it was too slow and I had to speed it up. I will probably forget this drama with time unfortunately.

Never Forget the SAUCE
Holy crap this was spicey! I found out its a Korean BL distributed by a Thai company, so that makes it make more sense. Not that I haven't seen spicey Korean BL's before but this was definitely top 3 at least! It definitely had its issues with the pacing and the plot at points. But overall this was enjoyable to watch and I hope to see more from the main 2 in the future!Was this review helpful to you?
You won't regret watching this series
t’s been a long time since a TV series made me laugh, cry, get excited, disappointed, and then get excited all over again—but mostly just stay completely glued to the screen.
The best thing about this show is the performance of the two lead actors, and what’s hard to believe is that this is the first serious acting role for both of them. They brought a captivating sincerity and an undeniable chemistry to the screen that makes it hard to take your eyes off them.
Yes, the plot isn’t perfect—there are a few plotlines that could be better and scenes I would have skipped or done differently—but I can honestly say that this show, and especially its main actors, have found a big special place in my heart.
I really, really hope to see them in a second season!

interesting
i had good time watching, the show has it own flaws but i do like the cast, the male leads have good chemistry and the plot is interesting,it does make sense that the show gives thai vibes as its produced by a thai company, while the actors are both korean and speak in korean language, im kind of thankful that we didnt have half of the cast speak in korean while the other half smh understand korean but reply in thai, when everyone is talking in the same language it feels more logical and watchable so there is no issue related to that here.the good points:
an interesting plot, good chemistry, visually beautiful
flaws: one of the ml acting is a bit weak
overall id love to see the mls in more bls in the future

The series title is misleading
Overall, a nice story about amnesia, loyal love, being chased by a crazy fan, a secret that should be forgotten. Thanks to the Thai production, there are bold scenes of NC for a Korean film. The actors are very handsome, they had amazing chemistry with each other. The series is mainly focused on the feelings between the partners. Apart from a few unforgivable mistakes in the script (the killer can send threatening letters and make phone calls from prison), I liked the series.Was this review helpful to you?

An interesting concept that I felt wasn't portrayed properly
DisclaimerWhat I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.
Don't get me wrong – this series was addictive and had me coming back weekly every Tuesday and Wednesday, as I wanted to know what would happen next. The concept was interesting, as we found out, along with one of the main characters, the things that he forgot, as well as how and why he ended up this way. And I will admit that the way and reason why all of this occurred was a new and interesting concept to me because I personally did not accept it. I just personally felt that it wasn't portrayed in a proper way, and that's why it lost some marks with me. I mean, I know that it is only an eight-episode series, but still I felt that it was personally rushed at the end, as everything had to be revealed in that last episode.
I feel like I am in the minority with the acting of the actors, as I personally didn't have an issue with their acting skills. I mean, I have seen worse generally, and they just weren't that bad to me (I'm not saying that they were stellar either). They were okay. I am grateful that I decided to give this series a watch.

The car scene. That's all I'll say.
I'll be honest about something that might sound petty but anyone who watches Korean BL will understand: I went in with low expectations for the physical chemistry. Korean productions have a reputation — earned or not — for kiss and intimate scenes that feel stiff, disconnected, like two people pressing faces together rather than actually being present with each other. That was not this.These two knew what they were doing. The car scene alone is worth mentioning by name, even if I'll leave the details where they belong. For me personally it was a genuine turning point in how I think about Korean BL and what it's capable of when the actors are actually committed.
The series also carries that very specific K-drama flavour in its storytelling — a particular kind of dramatic tension that exists almost nowhere else and that I've grown to appreciate on its own terms. It works here.
My one personal gripe is how polished everything looks. The locations, the interiors, the people — all of it has a slightly sterile quality that kept me at a slight distance. And the drama does pile up at times in a way that tested my patience a little. But that's very much a matter of personal taste rather than a flaw in the series itself.
Overall — genuinely good, and a reminder of what this genre can do when it commits fully.

I LOWKEY ENJOYED THIS ONE
surprisingly i really like the storyline, the plot twist was really unexpected imo. i thought it would be predictable at first because of the whole enemies-to-lovers + amnesia trope, but the way they revealed the truth and connected everything in the later episodes actually caught me off guard.i also like how the drama tried to explore more than just romance. the whole memory loss situation and their past as rivals made everything more complicated, and you can really see how their relationship is built on both pain and love at the same time
tho i feel like they could’ve done much better with the acting :)) there were moments where the emotions didn’t fully hit, especially in scenes that were supposed to be really intense. BUT i will say, there are still scenes where they did well, especially during confrontations or emotional breakdowns.
overall, it’s still a good watch for me. the plot and concept really carried the show, and even if the execution wasn’t perfect, it’s one of those dramas that keeps you thinking about it after finishing.

Enough to keep you satiated
This series is good if you are looking to watch something that is short enough but has substance to keep you engaged. There were some reviews that highlighted where flashbacks can get choppy when integrated with the timeline but I think if the production worked on the colouring a bit more consistently when flashbacks occurred it would make the viewing experience a bit easier but I also understood they used it to set the mood of the memory itself. Some flashbacks had years written but mainly for moments which were considered milestones in their relationship growth from the past 7 years.Ep 7 is when things really start to tie to one another and you can see when Ha Neul accepts his current reality and moves forward from his situation. Sae Byeok is your Grade A yearner but with these type of characters their overprotection tends bring harm to the relationship due to leaving their partner in the dark of things. Up until mid way of the plot I had assumed SB had actually done something really wrong which led to his hesitance in unveiling more towards HN but his crime was just loving too much.
Their chemistry, well, I was well fed for a series of this amount of episodes.
Lee Ja Woon's acting did fall a bit flat in the facial expression but his expression in his voice did make up for it. I believe they have the potential to go further.
