Maya's Taiwanese/Hong Kong Drama List (Rating/Review)

My Review: This had SO MUCH POTENTIAL. Not only were the leads really cute, they actually covered some really huge topics, like cross-dressing, family pressure, etc. The story line was a little all over the place, but like I said, so much potential. It was too short to really delve well into anything, and it jumped around a lot. The ending itself was pretty...eh. If it was longer, we could have gotten a lot more out of it.

Rewatch Worthy: No, sorry. It's cute, but I wouldn't watch it again.  I would watch a remake.

My Review: One of the first BLs I watched, and still to this day a BL I hold to a higher standard. There is a lot that this could improve on, however, I still really like it. There is clear chemistry between the leads, which isn't always true about BLs. There is an actual storyline of substance too, which is important in this genre. However, there was a lot to be desired with some plot holes. A season two would be great, but much like other BLs, it would be so much better with more episodes. That being said, it did justice with what it had. Unpopular opinion though...Jack/Zhao Zi, not that great. 

Rewatch Worthy: Yes, but only the second half, although that half is super rushed.

My Review: I truly think for what they had to work with, they did a great job. There aren't that many plot holes, and there is...character growth for the most part. The chemistry between the couples are very very good, and I think it means a lot when you care equally about both couples. I would have loved a couple of seasons to really flesh out the characters and relationship, but like I said, its good for what they had.

Rewatch Worthy: Yes, but mainly the second half and mainly Chen Yi and Ai Di scenes, sorry not sorry.

My Review: Thank the heavens and earth that we are getting a second season. As someone who has watched a few iterations of this story, this is definitely the best thought out and the most emotionally positive version. Although not forward, the chemistry between the leads and characters are the exact level it needs to be. We are getting it a thought out and intelligent version of this story, which is what t deserves. I don't give out above 7 ratings easily, but this one deserves it. Like I said, THANK GOODNESS we are getting a season two.

Rewatch Worthy: I will before the second season is released. 

My Review: One of the best done 'brothers' to 'lovers' stories I've watched. It truly documents the way they grow from brothers to lovers and the real struggle of coming to terms and dealing with it. Each character has a real story line and you fully see how they grow with their story. Even the side characters, although very much not a focus, really allow for you to understand how everything works and what it all means. 

Rewatch Worthy: Its good, but I'm not sure if I would really watch it again. Maybe a few scenes here or there.
