Bromance not BL. Fucking stupid. Fucking hilarious.

First place just to ''separate'' it. But it is that good.

Really well written and shot, but not the kind I'll rewatch often.

Would have loved more from the side ''couple'' (guy with a weird half sleeve/neck tatt.)

Realistic and domestic show about the real struggle of being gay (or bi I guess) in Japan. Reaaally good, it's just not the kind I will binge often.

It's very basic, but pretty great and realistic.

Really good awkward teen romance. 

But too much second hand embarrassment for me to want to binge this often so it's in this list.

Ootani Shinya [ IxTx sp/so ]  x Tachibana Miyako  [ ExFx so/sx ]

Look, I think it's the first ''BL movie'' I've watched as a teen, or at least the first I watched that I liked and still like.
It's very basic but I like it, minus the cringy scene at the end if I recall correctly.

Bittersweet, flawed characters.

Catchy AF OST... bittersweet, past and future glimpses? That's all I can recall rn, but it was good. Need to rewatch

For people that like a lot of cheese. There was no forced drama, dumb misunderstanding and both leads where mature.

Way too cheesy for me though (One simple minded/very affectionate-friendly lead)

A cute short film. Wish there was more, but it's good as it is as well.

Pacing: Slow

It's good. Average japanese romance with the "slow vibe" that idk what its called.

The step-sibling bros creep me out, but the main ones are fine. Like the way they act. Body language and shit. 

Plus like the sister crush plot line, it's kinda funny even if stupid, which seems to be the point.

Only watch Ep 1 and 2 only for a happy ending version, but the rest is also good, even considering the ending.

Really realistic and not fetishized at all. One is bi, and not ''I'm not gay, I only like you'', which... good.

A bit basic, but its nice. I like it.

Cinematograpy: Great
Pacing: Average-slow
Mood: Comfort, Daily life
Pair main theme: Domestic, *spoiler*

It's very generic. It's also got some forced in conflict (imo) for the length of the series,
BUT I found this really enjoyable somehow. The food looks great and made me want to cook.

-A bit emotionless, slightly doormat lead, but in a way that's not grating. He does stand up for himself a bunch and more over the show. He's dense but I could related to how it was portrayed...

- Characters are more nuanced than usual. I really liked this pairing and believed their interactions.
-Both get shy, not just "the bottom", which is more realistic.

Has a bi or gay lead (it's not clarified, but prefer that)

The sound editing seriously sucked (pretty much a thai drama thing it feels), but it's good to me.The music changes and all were often jarring, but way more tame than usual (which is good). 

Story was pretty interesting. Also like both main actors in general. Also... please, close your bed side lamps before sleeping... PLEASE.

Noh Shin Woo  must be my kindred spirit xd

Pretty basic/bland show with basic events, but good character growth.
Although I liked it, it was very much bland in vibe, but it was a positive for me.

A negative would be too much focus on Da On that made Shin Woo's character lack a bit of one on one scenes with Tae Kyung. It felt rushed and should have gotten more episodes to balance out the growing closer parts.

Tian [ ENFP ] x Phupha [ ESTJ sp/so ]

Good first half... then too much drama for drama's sake sadly, but pretty good still. Cool story themes and ideas.

Pretty great cinematography and nice colour palette. Sound work is way better than usual for a thai drama, but some parts had music/SFX that kinda ruined scenes + some cheesy moments that didn't fit.

Characters are more grounded and three dimensional, including the usually side and background characters.
''Third Act'' conflict near the end that was way too forced in my opinion, but most of this show was just great and heart warming in its setting. (Although I did not finish it because of third act drama so far)

A while back I watched episode one and got bored, but glad I came back to it. Great acting and good script. Good cinematography too. 

I liked the side couple (not another MM fanservice couple). Only pet peeve was, the music was a too loud sometimes and it took me out of it for a bit. Also, montage are a pet peeve of mine if not short and ''thought-like''.

AWESOME concept, but should have been slower paced. Heo Hyun Jun (Yoo Han)'s acting is pretty flat,  but I think it fits the character and works. He might be a one note actor, but it's fine in this specific storyline.  (They both kinda are, but I thought it fitted well)

Like that the face touching as an actual reason, as well as the complimenting unabashedly (cuz of the guy's condition). It makes sense and isn't for forced romantic moments. It's a nice touch. (Ah, get it?)

Pretty good. Flawed characters, realistic, well written, interesting plot points/themes. Just not a show I will binge.

Need to rewatch to rescore better

Action and fighting, hell yeah. Wanted more choreographed fighting, but not bad.

An awesome OST, damn...
Also it's very unique and stands out. Supernatural twist that works, horror moments and bittersweet. It's honestly my favourite type of ending for a bittersweet one, the music, the empty theater with Peem looking.

Only problem is some of the acting is a bit off, mainly the side characters. That and  montage that wasn't that great and weirdly added.
Flawed but interesting.

It was alright if I recall correctly. Cool ideas

What ruins this one for me is 

A: The ending is unwarranted. I don't mind tragedies/bittersweet/sad and such, but the ending wasn't a satisfaying kind of tragic like in Devilman/Devilman Crybaby.
It was just ''Oh. Wait what?''

B: The main tall guy actor's acting is VERY hit and miss (or is it the dialogue?). It's either very funny or very cringy and I had to skip a few scenes from terminal cringing. At least it is mentioned by the characters in the show as ''fuckin weird/gross'' of a way to act.

Don't quite recall tbh, but I'll assume my rating is fair and I liked it.

It's sweet, cheesy and not as bad as I thought it would be, but also kinda cringy at times.

Domestic and slow-paced. 

Gameplay (Tops) is an actor that can actually cooks and the other one plays the guitar for real, which is nice and should be more common in these shows.
Pet peeve would be a bunch of slow motion with a camera that clearly can't do that, so it's edited in post and look shitty.

Basic but good. Will rewatch in a few months to rescore.

It's okay, but I thought it was gonna be way better sadly

Good at times, but very off pacing. Needed to be longer or more organized. Felt rushed and like it was missing parts and like parts were frankensteined from two ideas.
Still, I liked the main leads and conflicts, just not in this show.

Not sure that's the right series, but if it is kinda liked it

Thai one was trash, this was mostly funny and entertaining.
Main couple = meh. Got bored of them quick enough
Side couple = relatable/ more interesting. Not used to seeing two kind obviously/social chameleons paired together. 

One seems weak and people pleaser but is strong. Other seems strong, but is more empty and weak.

It's weird. Has fucked up themes (mental health) and the two main has obvious seriously psychological damage.
