Chemistry, elegance, and sexual tension.
A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR RYŌMA TAKEUCHI AND KEITA MACHIDA. The best film of 2025, no Japanese BL film will be able to surpass the beauty of 10 Dance. I loved the costumes, makeup, music, and especially the dancing and the chemistry the actors radiated.They managed to convey so many emotions to me, and they made me want to dance, which is saying a lot because I don't like to dance hahaha. They perfectly conveyed to me the passion and dedication their characters had for dance; undoubtedly magnificent.
Ryōma Takeuchi perfectly embodied that fun and relaxed guy; you could feel the Latin vibes in his character. His character was so damn sexy, that hip movement is stuck in my head 24/7, I don't think I can ever get over it. There's no way I'll ever get over it, thank you Ryoma for giving me that beautiful scene. I barely know this actor, but honestly, he didn't disappoint. He did a great job; I loved all his scenes. The moments of anguish and his dancing were perfect. I hope to see him more in future projects.
Keita Machida this man never disappoints; any of his work is a masterpiece. Every time I see him, my perspective on him changes quite a bit; one day he's the typical careless and relaxed Japanese guy (Alice in Borderland), and the next he's a prestigious, strict and elegant dancer. I really liked the parts where he danced, and the natural way he cried and conveyed his anguish and passion for dance. I also liked it when he was sarcastic with the protagonist; it was funny, and seeing him as inexperienced when it came to Latin dancing was hilarious too, LOL. Dear, even though he danced very stiffly, I liked that he tried to move his hips. I have to admit that man looked quite sexy in his role when he got strict with his dance partner; that scene where he forces her to dress in black was so wow! I felt intimidated; my classmate's character was too strong for me to handle that particular night.
Although the ending was very open, it was fine, considering that the film is based on a manga that is still ongoing, it is understandable that they did not give a definitive ending. And I repeat, even though it was an open ending, it was perfect, I liked it, it's much better than other movies with open endings that are then awful. This one, on the contrary, only left me wanting more, wanting to know what was going to happen. I hope they make a sequel with these actors; they nailed it. Personally, I felt the movie was too short, even though it was two hours long.

A drama with too much sweetness, I think I'll die of diabetes
Honestly, watching this drama was refreshing. I liked how they handled the age difference. I honestly didn't expect this series to be so romantic; it has many sweet and domestic scenes that make me wish I had a partner, haha. The actors managed to convey the emotions and love that their characters had, even though the actors themselves also have an age difference like their characters. Because in China, even if actors have a tiny age difference, the distance is noticeable and sometimes they fail to convey love in their series, but with them there was no problem. I could definitely feel the chemistry between them, and the age difference in the series and between the actors wasn't awkward at all.Actor Zhou Keyu (Li Wu) perfectly portrayed his character; I really enjoyed watching him act as a shy, sweet, and tender teenager even though he's almost 30, hahahaha. Although I am a woman, I saw myself reflected in Li Wu's personality. It's also worth noting that I liked how his personality evolved; he went from being very shy to someone very confident but still reserved. And despite everything, I still loved Ce Jin 😭❤️, I don't want, I need a Li Wu in my life... He's literally the perfect boyfriend; it's a shame he doesn't exist.
Actress Michelle (Ce Jin) is good too; I liked her character. She was realistic, and she and her character managed to convey that she loved Li Wu, But she didn't want to, and couldn't, clip the boy's wings so he could go abroad; it was painful to see how she deceived him and broke up with him, because she knew that the age difference did affect them; they loved each other, but it wasn't the right time. Besides, this girl was always throwing out facts, she told so many truths so that Li Wu would understand that he could love her and at the same time prioritize himself so that there would be no resentment between them.
With the secondary couple, you can tell their romance is very passionate and fun; whenever their scenes appeared, I always had a smile on my face HAHAHAHA. I really liked the girl, I mean Ce Jin's friend. I liked their relationship dynamic; it was entertaining to watch, a reserved and quiet guy versus an extroverted and flirtatious girl. I loved their chemistry so much that I hope they work together again, but as the lead couple 🫶🙏
It's a very simple, beautiful, and romantic series that's worth watching.

THIS AP DRAMA
WHAT THE TITLE SAYS, APE. You don't know how disappointed I was to see it, I literally expected to be impressed like everyone loved this drama. The series literally appeared in my head, and I can understand them, The first three or five chapters were really gripping. They were entertaining with all the mystery and aha, but after chapter five it ended up being a bit disappointing. It was very disappointing to watch. The only good thing about the kdrama is the actor, very handsome, and the truth is this proves to me that people return to a trending series because of a handsome actor, not because the series was reallyWas this review helpful to you?
What a short and sweet series!
Oh my god, what a short BL! I was left wanting more; I wished the episodes were an hour long or even longer. Although I would have liked to see how the relationship between the protagonists developed, I was really satisfied watching this beautiful BL.I loved the acting of all the actors; they made me empathize with their characters and love them with all my heart. This series is definitely a balm for the soul ❤️🩹.
One of the things I love most about Japanese BL is that most of the top guys (the ones who dominate) are a green flag, and my little one is no exception. You have no idea how much it hurt me to see her suppressing her emotions so as not to upset Kakeru 😭. And Kakeru, oh my god, my other baby, it hurt me so much to see him feel insecure, you don't know how much I identified with Kakeru, I felt like that character was inspired by me hahaha. The actors really managed to convey to me the longing, the pain they felt throughout the series
Another of my favorite characters was Yui Hosaka. I really liked that she gave Yamato advice and shared facts. I really liked the advice she gave Yamato, and she even told him the truth. A straightforward, handsome, and funny character. I repeat, I would have liked to see more of Yui Hosaka; it was always fun and entertaining to see him appear.

If you're looking for a sign to watch it, please do; this series is a hidden gem.
Oh, you don't know how much I regret finishing this series in less than 10 hours, it was so addictive, I wish it had more episodes.Many may have been bothered by the large age difference between the main characters, but although there was a marked contrast in that, I feel they handled it well. I admit I felt uncomfortable at first because of the age difference, but after the first two episodes, I started to love the series. Honestly, there shouldn't have been so much fuss about it, Since Ye Haiyuan always knew who the new owner of Zefang's body really was, and besides, it's legal.
Putting aside the age difference, THE CHEMISTRY, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN BOTH CHARACTERS WAS SO EXQUISITE. I LOVED ALL THE SCENES OF THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER, She couldn't stop smiling like a lovestruck schoolgirl as she watched them interact. I love how their love evolved, I loved the process of falling in love, how at first Ye Haiyuan was reluctant to take care of Grandpa Xia Cha, until little by little he showed his concern, his longing, love, jealousy, and protectiveness towards Xia Cha. I admit that Ye Haiyuan did go too far with Xia Cha when he got jealous, but I can't help but love him. Although I wasn't sure if Ye Haiyuan was the reincarnation of Xia Cha's wife and young master, that left me with a big question mark; they failed to develop that part enough. Because I feel that those scenes of Xia Cha dreaming about the young master, and the mess that ensued about whether Ye Haiyuan was Xia Cha's wife, didn't contribute much, because in the end they didn't get anywhere. That's why I insist that the episodes should have been longer, a full hour, or that there should have been more episodes. They left me wanting in that aspect, and that's why I gave it a 9.5 for the plot.
Both actors shone in their roles, Martín Wong (Zefang, Grandfather Cha) He was able to convey to me that maturity, the melancholy, the curiosity for the new and that affectionate and kind attitude that the character of Grandpa Cha had. Honestly, the actor looked really handsome in the grandpa clothes, hahaha, anyway Lucia looks gorgeous in any outfit, but yeah. And Kenji Fan (Ye Haiyuan) She's not far behind; she managed to bring tears to my eyes in her scenes and knew how to show her anger and jealousy in the parts where she misinterpreted the protagonist, I also cried like crazy when I hugged the protagonist in the final chapter; she knew how to convey the desperation, longing, and fear that her character felt at that moment, how she feared that Xia Cha It wasn't Zefang there anymore, I loved how he managed to show a side of the character where he was usually seen as serious and disinterested, becoming warm, smiling, overprotective And acting like a spoiled brat, pouting to get the protagonist's attention, hahaha. Their performances were so refreshing and natural, I hope to see them together again in other projects.
AND THE SECONDARY COUPLES ARE NOT FAR BEHIND, Oh my god, I generally don't care about the secondary couples in the series I watch, but this BL managed to make me love not only the main couple but the secondary couples as well. All the couples had great chemistry, I loved Jiang Bailing, he's the standard aaaaaaaaaaa, I love him, he's the prototype of the ideal boyfriend honestly, he seems too good to be real. The actor reminded me a lot of Suho from Weak Hero Class hahaha, I love how he was always so affectionate and spoiled me so much a Chen Qiansui, Those two are literally the most adorable secondary couple I instantly connected with. I loved watching them every single moment. And Hana y Haru, MY MOTHERS, LONG LIVE LESBIANS, DAMN IT. I need a series of them; their few scenes weren't enough, and I'm so glad they got married in the series.
The series finale and its last episodes brought tears to my eyes; it was heartbreaking to see the boy I cared about suffer with the original Zefang, even though at first I hated him for his intensity and Because of how badly he treated the protagonist, I loved that he got a good redemption. I really liked that Guan Riqing finally found out that he was actually Xia Cha and not Zefang; at least he got closure with Zefang, albeit a painful closure, to be honest. At least she was able to keep moving forward, and what great character development she had in wanting to heal and calm things down; I was even touched that her bond with Ye strengthened. Aaaah, my baby! 🥹 Although of course I don't forgive him for the mess he caused for the protagonists, but without him and his stupidities there would be no plot.
I would definitely watch it again.
