pouring my thoughts/feelings here✒️

August 20

Rewatch: November 22

This was my overshared review lol:

• I am feeling that pain after watching this like I've felt after watching Pornographer. This is not only a BL story, this is actually not only "a" story, this is the life of many of ours. That's why both of the dramas gave me so much pain. There are so many real things behind the story. It doesn't matter if you like to watch BL dramas or not, just watch these, definetly will worth it!
• There were of course some gaps in it but I don't mind because of the quality of acting and the dark theme make it almost perfect.
• I know I want to rewatch both of dramas but I don't think I could make it because the pain they make me feel is so heavy to get under it again.
• My review could make you think what an emotional person am I but actually I am not. Just go watch it, you will feel the same, I promise!
• Rewatch: It was good as my first time watching. One of the best surely. 

December 20

• complicated feelings on how to rate this one. Yes, it was perfect in many ways. But kinda irritating too. I dunno. The Japanese movie industry is a gem.

November-December 20

September 21

• I watched it again, almost a year later, and realized everything was fresh in my mind like I have just watched it yesterday. My heart is aching, a lot.  Since I was up till morning, my eyes are aching too, not like only because sleeplessness, crying also made my eyes two huge balloons. 
• So, now, I am ready for IPYTM. I probably will be a huge mess after these two!! (dunno why I am doing this to myself. neverthless, )

December 20

• Too much pain in less than two hours...

January 21

• despite all the gaps in the story, even for only the OST, it's worth watching.

January 21

• it could have been more enjoyable if the acting was better.

January 21

• Could have been better. It was a promising plot but sadly ended with the quick development of the story. Hey, Korean BL industry, why so rush? Huh.

January 21

• Could have been better. Sad. But I still love my babies. #MewGulf forever! lolz

January 21

• their visuals are no joke. love them all. but I wish it had a better plot. it would have been better without side characters (wtf that high school boys' story? nonsense, not necessary)

January 21

• It was mostly a painful watching. The plot was horrible. The actors were mildly good, they still didn't deserve to be in this 'not good' drama. Not dropped only because of the charm of Pod (hello my new crush! lol)

January 21

• My eyes are aching from crying. A masterpiece. I am in tears. Ahhhhhh! T-T

January 21

• the acting was bad, the pilot was boring, everything was blurry. why I even gave it a 5, dunno.

January 21

• don't know what to say. it's all like wtf I was watching. so, I'll leave this blank.

January 21

• A realistic story with a good OST. And with handsome actors. And with a cute boy that you will want to hug. I liked this movie a lot. 

January 21

• Actors did a great job. But somehow the pilot didn't work for me. Still a watchable movie though. 

January 21

• yes, I cried. yes, I liked it. everything was so heavy. my heart feels heavy. T_T

January 21

• I was keeping this in the corner for good. It turned out as I expected. Loved it, loved it really much!

January 21

• No need to discuss the acting here but the plot was a total disappointment. Anyways, still was good and worth watching.

January 21

• too old to discuss if it is good or not. old Japanese BLs are weirdly different. lol

January 21

• Koreans know how to make a good BL. liked it.

January 21

• Taiwanese BLs will always be my favorite. This one was amateur but still pretty good. 

January--February 21

• aah my babies. my MaxTul. whyyy, why... you're too lovely to be in this show. many gaps, many nonsense shitz. 
• I was having a literal war with my demons to finish this drama. hated how amateour the production was.

February 21

• The storyline was good. I liked it. I can't put a comment on the acting because it was like in 240p quality. lol. Could be counted as worth watching.

February 21

• Don't forget Fiat is also here. My lovely boi!!  ˘ω˘
• Otherwise, there was nothing special. Don't think a 2nd season was needed tbh.

January-March 21

• Aaah tbh the only reason for watching this was Pod aka my new crush. lol
• Everything got better after the episodes 7.-8. There was almost nothing cringy and wrong in the story. That's why it got 7.5 point from me. ^ω^

March 21

• The storyline was pretty good but too painful. Both actors were newbies but still did a good job. If it had better production, would have been better too. But, it's still a worth-watching drama. NOT a BL though. This is a traumatic story of someone who raped then caught by depression and ended up in the dark.

March 21

• People said the movie version was better.. That's why I watched it.. But there was nothing different from the drama. It's a 7 only because of that great 'Wish You' song.

March 21

• a huge no. pretty boys for sure, that's all. there was no plot.

April 21

• This was a cute binge-watching drama. The first episode was weak in every way like acting etc., but it got better soon after.

April 21

• They messed up the story with the last episode. Koreans keep rushing in the BL dramas. This could've been better with those cute and handsome actors and with their good chemistry. 

April 21

• Their acting was definitely better than before. Honestly, all of them did a good job. But since this is an all-boy drama, I put my ratings down.

April 21

• I don't remember when and why I added this to my PTW list?!! Someone said this movie was a masterpiece!! like dude, for real? OMFG! This was such a time waste. I even don't wanna rate it. 

April 21

• No words needed. They're always the best! I have huge respect for its creators. And this documentary is proof that how they did their best to create not only the best BL but also one of the best dramas ever. 

April 21

• This was a low-budget movie. A classic Japanese BL with pure but over-acting. 

April 21

• One more low-budget J-BL movie. I didn't watch the first sequel of this but, it still was watchable. Cute but boring. I was almost dropping but decided to finish it by skipping many scenes.

April 21

• I dunno what I feel about this one. They handled very well with all the issues in the first part, but the second part was very problematic. I am still not sure if it is worth 7.5/10. At least 7 but not more than 7.5. It was promising at the start but sadly didn't end well.

April 21

• A painful watch. A masterpiece. Felt their pain. Felt everything. No more word.

April 21

• I can't say that I liked what I watched. And I have a weird after watching-feeling that bothers me a lot. Also if I knew before watching it that this one was the sequel of the Amphetamine movie, I wouldn't watch it for sure. I won't rate it.

April 21

• (Short film) Only 4 minutes, but it was cute and very well made.

April 21

• a story with slow-burn romance and many lovely countryside scenes. I never got bored while watching it. There was nothing special but, the story still made me feel good.

March-May 21

• Up, you're such a nice man to have my eyes happy moments. lol
• After the 6th episode thoughts: It's started as a promising one but the plot is getting weaker episode by episode. Sad. 
• Draggy draggy. Huh! Up, you're too good to be in this.
• Finished: this was all of a disappointment. The only positive thing here is Up. I am grateful he will be known after this drama because he deserves it!

May 21

• I don't get why its rate is 8+, it was an ordinary and basic web-drama type BL.
• It was cute but I sometimes got bored tbh. Not much recommend to watch it.

May 21

• Full of disappointment. I am not sure to keep watching this. Just can't believe this was made by Koreans. 
• Okay. The second part was better. But still not good enough. Sad.
• I gave it a 6 only because of its good OSTs  and lovely costumes.  And only for Lee Se Jin.

May 21

• Japan knows how to put things in. lol. I can't wait for season 2!

May 21

• The best Korean BL-web-drama I have ever watched. Wow! Where I have been for all this time...

May 21

• What and why this was like that? The acting was good but all other things were poor. I probably won't watch its other version either. 

May 21

• With horrible acting, I gave it actually a bit more point only because of that good OST. The story was cliche and predictable. If acting was better, it would have been better. Anyways, cute but no need to watch it. 
• My favorite couple was the second: Chris and Jeno. Their acting and story have been better than others.

May 21

• The length of the drama doesn't matter. They're always the best.

June 21

• I wish the first part has been better as much as the second part. It could've been a great series even with all the gaps in the story and the weak production. I liked it but not planning to watch the second season. 
• BTW, OSTs were remarkably good.

June 21

Not impressed. It was okay for binge-watching. Actors were newbies but okay too. One of that entertaining and light but cliche BL series with a poor but "the best boy" uke and wealthy but childish seme.

June 21

• so, this was the second time I tried to watch this and, failed again. I can't believe how horrible the acting is and so the plot. I wasn't able to finish the first episode! I won't try it, never ever again.

June 21

• This was cute! I loved them all. This one will be one of my favorites forever no doubt.

December 23

•  I don't even know how many times I rewatched this. I won't get tired of them, never, ever. 

June 21

• the story was good. But the side characters all were weak in the meaning acting and so. It still was a nice movie tho.

June 21

• The first season was better tbh. I still love everything tho. Phenomenal chemistry between leads. 
• And, Sam, you're too lovely to be real! *another new crush is loading* lol

June 21

• I don't get the reason why they needed to show us that many flashbacks. I skipped many of them.

July 21

• I already mentioned it before but, I want to say it again: Japan knows how to tell unique stories in the most epic way. This movie was another proof of it. Loved this!

July 21

• A very original script with intentional over-acting. The 'lol' impression is all you feel as the aftertaste of this drama. lol. what else to say! A different taste that is not everyone else's cup of tea.

July 21

• I don't like step-siblings' love stories. Especially in BLs, they use this concept for the script a lot. Otherwise, the drama was pretty good. The chemistry between the leads was good, also the production.

July 21

• This was a soft and healthy coming-out story for two cute boys. Loved it!

July 21

• A cute easy-watch mini-drama. It was better than I expected.

July-August 21

• I was expecting a better one, but this turned out something unhealthy and complicated, cliche too. But, it is still worth watching.

July 21

• Dropped first, gave it a second try after the sequel.
• Boring.. There was no pacing at all. The acting was weak too. (this was my first try impression)
• Second try: It was a better watch after watching the sequel. Completed successfully.

August 21

• This one gives a different taste, for sure. But, not sure if I prefer to have a similar taste again. lol

August 21

• This was definitely much better than the first movie. I liked this one better. There were many cliche scenes but it was still okay. The characters and acting were impressive. I felt everything they did and everything they said.

August 21

• This is so much ad, there is nothing like drama in it. Just an ad. Both two girls definitely are cute and great tho.

August 21

• I loved this!! I love the Korean LGBTQ film industry. 

August 21

• I don't get why it's got only 7.4?? It was a really good mini-drama that touched many sensitive topic. I liked it a lot.

August 21

• I don't think this one was better than the newer one but, not bad either. 

August 21

• This one is probably the oldest Asian movie that I watched yet.
• The cinematography was excellent even its age!! I liked what the director and screenwriter did at all, a lot. The actors did a good job too. The story was cliche but still worth watching!

August 21

• I wish the Chinese BL industry to be free. Everything feels half empty because of the missing/banned interactions and scenes in the drama.
• In the meanwhile, I read the novel (not finished tho). There were intense scenes, unlike the drama version. And the story was a bit different. I still loved both :)
• There have been many gaps in the story, I know it was because of the ban, but still, it's just too much!! And, what was with that ending? I hated it!!! 
• Me, MeAnWhiLe: aaaahhhh Simon aaaahhhh Jason aaah Moon, Chen,,, My eyes are in heaven! lol  ^v^

September 21

• The story was realistic but, somehow, not healthy. It was still worth watching.

September 21

• Korean BLs are getting better day by day. And it makes me happy because that means we will have better taste dramas soon! Yaay!
• So, watching this was literal fun. It made me laugh and sad at the same time. They touched on sensitive topics and gave us little nice talks. I feel like it has already made me a picky watcher for the future BL dramas, with its perfection. I enjoyed it a lot. A well-deserved 9/10!!

September 21

• I had a WTF moment and dropped it soon after. Please, no one, do not spend your precious time with this. lol.

September 21

• This was a nice story with a slow-burn romance which I love the most. 
• I liked everything; the chemistry, the plot, the country-side scenes... And cute actors, both handsome and talented. 
• A must-watch BL drama, I believe this one will be a classic in the future. Well done GMM!!

September 21

• Despite having many plot holes and all that cliches in this, I liked it. It would have been better if it was well-written.
• There was nothing unhealthy, this was the nicest thing about the drama.

September 21

• (Short film) It's short but tells something to the watchers for sure. The feelings are on point but I wish they did make the story more clear. 

September 21

• hahahha WTF I watched hahahahha. I should have lost my mind why I watched this shit lolol

September 21

• I can't put my mind together after this. I felt the pain in my blood. I hated it, that's why I loved it the most.
• Won Tae Hee and Lee Yi Kyung... They make us feel their heart and soul like it was that much easy, was unbelievable. OSTs were so much on point. I loved everything about this. My heart will be aching every time I remind this movie, this story...

September 21

• I will definitely watch the anime too since everyone says it is better than the drama version. Yet, this one also was pretty good. I liked it a lot. 

September 21

• The best Pinoy BL and, the best Pinoy drama and, one of the best BL in all BLs ever. I can't compare how good is this with anything, even with ITSAY!! Wow!! I am too much impressed.
  The emotion they give, all the good messages, mood boosters, life lessons... Even at my age, it's still hard and heavy. This one will always be one of my favorite dramas, not only in BL ones, in all dramas I have watched.
• Let's talk about OSTs too. wow, just WOW! Each of them was great, on point, loved them all. 
• And, it's definitely gonna take time for me to have an easy breath after watching this. My heart, still aching hard.

September 21

• I mean, I liked both stories, even with all cliche in it, but still not that much enjoyed.

September 21

• With that poor acting, 5 is actually much. It's only for that cold weather that this drama makes me feel... It was creepy tho. o_O

September 21

• I loved this "family" a lot. And, Kana, I looveeed her! Such a cutie!
• It was only three episodes in length and definitely a worth-watch

September 21

• For this series, someone said the name should be changed to "the flashback, the series" that I totally agree with. lolol
• Thoughts after 4th episode: It was too amateur and there was no pacing nor a worthwhile plot. Don't want to watch more.
• Dropped (4 or 8 eps watched)

September-October 21

• Thoughts after the first episode: It is easily felt that the screenwriter is different from ITSAY.  Of course, the chemistry and the originality of the story, etc. are still the best, but, there is a "but", unfortunately.
• Update after the second ep: Okay, I was not that much right by saying there was a "but" there. There was, but not that huge. Only minute cliche parts and mistakes. That's all.
• I am in love, again. My heart is aching too much. These series, both ITSAY and IPYTM, are a slice of my life. I am in love (and also hate because it hurts a lot) with everything about both. I am in pain. It's too hard to handle, still, and will be forever like that I guess....

September-November 21

• The first episode was pretty good. The chemistry between the leads, the plot, how they handled the rights and wrongs, etc., everything was on point but of course with a bit of exaggeration. 8/10.
• Second: A straight romance with pretty good cinematography. Good but not good enough not to drop. It was kinda boring, I couldn't help but drop it, sorry. 6/10.
• Third: I like this series because everything they portrayed is healthy so far. There is nothing unexpected nor original in the story but still worth watching. 7.5/10.
• Note to the third episode after watching the rest: There is no healthy portrayal anymore. Sad.
• Fourth: All was cliche but still doing good until Mek kissed Jinny. WTH? It could've been 8/10 but dropped because of that. Of course, Boun was lovely and their chemistry was the best. Nothing helped, I am disappointed. 6/10. 
• Fifth: Too boring to watch. There was nothing I liked. 3/10.
• Sixth: I think this one was the best along with the first episode. I liked it a lot. Finally we're back to healthy relationships and hopeful life lessons. 8/10.
• Seventh: This was all cute but the story was too weak to be worth watching. 5/10.
• Total/mean score of the series: 6.2

October 21

• Loved the actors and the story. I know it was not only a drama but it is also a real-life story.  
• Both characters were normal and healthy until that last episode-last minute happening. I don't get why they lead the story that way, I don't like it...

October 21

• (Short film) A cute coming out of age story with a familiar concept: childhood friends to lovers. I still liked it. 

October 21

• No proper character and relationship development, no good acting, no chemistry, no good kisses, there was almost nothing. The story was promising, that's why I rated it like this. 

October 21

• I've watched three episodes and put it on hold because of the heavy drama going on. I don't think I can be able to take that much heaviness any soon. lol.
• Plus, as a person who watches both Thai and Korean dramas, it's not easy to tolerate hearing their badly mixed language. I kinda don't like this and this might be the reason to drop it later (not dropping for now, lol)
•  So, I did give a second chance to it and watched the ep.4, it still did not work for me. Let's wait for a third chance. lol
• Final decision after an attempt to watch 5th episode: Dropped. I did browse through the episodes, so I know what happened and how it ended. hehe. I can't take that language barrier between the leads anymore. It was so tiring. I wish this was made by only Koreans and played by Korean actors.
• Dropped (5 of 10 eps watched)

October 21

• This one doesn’t fit the year 2021 as technical quality. I know it is a low budget drama but rather than low, this one is a low low low budget one. Worst than the first season tbh.
• Their acting also was way better in the first season.
• OMG! I wish not to have seen that driving scenes. All have been WTF moments and will never be forgotten. haha
• There were also some plot holes (like there was a long long plot!) as well as a lot of exaggeration. Maybe I am the problem here, I probably was in a different mood when I watched the first season. lol
• At the end of the day, --after this much talk, hehe-- I can't say that I didn't like it. They touched on very sensitive topics and made them visible.

October 21

• I wish the story was more clear and developed. The actors did an amazing job. I recommend watching it anyway.

November 21

• This was too silly but I still liked it a lot. lol.

November 21

• This movie starts with a scene like comes from nowhere and gives an open end as a goodbye.  Basically, they couldn't tell the story they wanted to, imo. The cast and acting were great, I rated it with the total feeling the movie gives. Could have been better...

November 21

• Despite the low quality of the production, this series is good, like very good. They touch many sensitive topics. Like someone said this one is not a BL drama, it's an LGBTQ drama. It takes a look at how they live their life, how they struggle, how they love. A slice of life queer drama, probably the first in its genre.

November 21

• It got better than the first season. The production remains the same as low quality but I don't think I will be complaining about it again because, unlike other series that get worse than their first season, this one made it better.
• I think these series must watch by everyone interested in this genre. It will make a realization for everyone about how the industry is showing it but how it actually is.
• This one shined with its OSTs. They were all on point for sure. Loved it!
• The first season's star was Teng Kanist, the second season's star was Ten Tosatid.  I was upset they were not able to be together and broke up eventually. Their chemistry was one of the most perfect ones. And both are great actors for sure. They are the stars of this series.
• And the last comment; in this season, there were many controversial topics that I actually don't like and don't agree with how they handled with. But I am still okay with it because rather than judging I appreciate them for being this brave and making these topics visible for everyone.

November

• I think the Thai BL industry should make a special episode like this one before airing the full drama and we can decide not to watch it and save time for others. lol

November 21

• What was with that forced script? Did I write it when I was in middle school? lolz. It was way too bland to get a taste. 
• Kim Yoo Hwan, I've found myself a new crush who has a charming look that is a mixture of all my crushes' looks. haha.
• I think the drama was boring. I wouldn't watch it if it was not for him. His good acting and flawless look saved the drama for me.

November 21

• It was a low-budget drama but didn't feel like it was. The message behind it was strong. I liked each character and their struggles. A great coming-out age drama. 

November 21

• My expectation was higher. But still a good movie, for sure. Actors did a great job, especially Roy and Joseph.
