sadly they messed up the second part

The first ten episodes were fine, the story had a clear purpose and there weren't many cliches. They flew, I was so captured by the plot and the time-travel thing. I was curious about what happened between the lead characters. Nothing was done or decided, everything could have been changed even by a small gesture. Sadly the female lead seems not really on track, especially with the mad taxi driver. Also, there were some unbelievable communication issues because the fl was herself, then not anymore, and again another time: a little bit messy I'd say. It should have been planned a little better. On the other side, the ml is slow, insecure, and determined to act "cool" with the fl. The beautiful thing is that everything is connected but at the end, the fl decides to reset everything. What was the sense of the first part of the drama then?

Then it became a classical rom-com like any other, although I appreciated the time they spent in the countryside, at the sea: all four of them were carefree, thoughtless, awesome scenes. I skipped episode thirteen, it was a mistake but it was predictable, I knew what I missed: firstly it wasn't crucial, also it was kinda obvious and ordinary. They meet again in the future. I found fine all the coincidences, the "destiny" that was calling. Then they rush things another time for example with the marriage thing.

From the first two episodes, I got the idea that the drama would have been about depression problems, stress caused by success and disabilitiles. It was disappointing. Also, the whole thing was maybe too much focused only on the main couple.
Other things are good: the acting, the music. Personally "grandma" best character ever, I loved her, she was the one who remembered everything. Kim Tae Seong my baby, I started rooting for him at some point, I was happy he followed his dad in life as a policeman. I was hoping he'd had a gf or that he wasn't in love with the fl anymore ...

P.S. I don't consider RW in my final rating.

A REAL STORY

1- STORY
I think that this story is so realistic. When Best is falling in love with Dew I can clearly imagine what he is feeling; during all the scenes where Best hide while seeing Dew, I can find me in his behavior. 'If I were Best/Dew I would also do something similar, that's what I thought while watching the series. This is new for me: I have never felt like this towards a character before. There were also no clichés except for the female character.
Let's talk about this cause I'm tired of seeing a negative representation of female characters. What she does in the last episode is so cruel: you don't have the right to talk about other people's (that are also your friends, that trust you) feelings with their parents (Dew's mother in this case). Doing this girls will be hated too much :(

2- ACTING
The acting is great, all the actors did well! I can feel Best and Dew's anxiety and shyness while meeting or seeing each other (so cuteee). The actor I empathized the most with is War (Best) especially when he was crying cause he thought Dew likes Fern; I cried with him :(

3-MUSIC
The OST is enjoyable, it matches with the vibe of the series; War's voice is so gentle >-<

4-RW
I will find it difficult to rewatch the series, especially because of the ending. (P.S. I don't consider the rewatch value in my final rating).

P.S. HOW ABOUT A SECOND SEASON?

I liked it

When I heard about the comeback of the kings I was starving, so I'm glad that this series was good also because it seems to be the last MaxTul's project.

The most important thing I wanna say, which is also the reason why I gave the series 8.5, is the change of environment. All the bl series I have seen since the beginning were set in schools/universities or at work but the love story between Bun and Tan is set in the middle of a murder. Due to this, the story is more eventful and not only concerned about romance. So what I appreciate is the mix between romance and something else because if you do things like that the series won't be repetitive and will be more interesting.
Secondly, there is a nice balance between the love story and the setting because the love story isn't overshadowed by the setting. At the beginning of the show I was scared of that and I'm relieved that it didn't happen because it would be an easy mistake.
In addition to the interesting plot and the nice balance of the show, there are the love scenes. I have noticed the good chemistry between the two actors since Together With Me and I'm happy to have seen it in this project too. The cute scenes may be quite trivial and a little bit cheesy but the thing is I love this kind of scenes. The hot one is so well done! It is not only because I can see all the desire in their eyes and their kisses but also because the longing is due to the sexual tension of the previous episodes. Tan has been heavily hitting on Bun since the beginning.
Lastly, I wanna explain my ratings on music and rewatch value. The opening is proper and I can say the same thing talking about the music because it helps to involve the viewer in the series. About the rewatch value I have to say that it won't be attractive doing a complete rewatch when you already know the end of the crime part. If I will watch something again I'll only select some of the scenes that I've liked the most.

P.S. I don't consider the rewatch value in my final rating.

Captivating Series

The first thing I want to say is about the ML, the kind of man I'd want by my side in my real life. He's kind-hearted, he's a solid support, a gentleman and (most importantly) he's so tall, like a tower, so much that I felt protected in his arms. His coolness is increased by how he initially secretly helped the FL. Maybe it's a cliché but it's just so damn good!
About the two main «enemies» I feel like their faces are perfect for their roles, they seem real psychopaths, especially when they laugh. That's a sign the production was well focused on smaller details too.
I have to confess I'm in love with Park Min Young (FL). I saw three/four of her works and I'm thinking about watching all the others. She's pretty and cool and great in every role I see her, I'm going crazy. Except for some forced expressions sometimes.

Music and sounds are crucial for this type of novel. I like what I think is the main theme, the one in the ending. The other sounds match the scenes' suspense, they aren't disturbing but feel right for the vibe of the show.

I liked the plot, it's the interesting type with the «go back in time» thing. It was well done with the flashbacks in all different situations. What captures me is the feeling of power and satisfaction, stronger than ever. I travel with the FL and I want what she wants (revenge). That's a good thing, it means it's a good product. The only flaw is the ending, rushed as always and a little messy but it's nothing compared to the whole story (despite cliches).

This isn't the kind of show that can be rewatched, I already know everything so there's no point. Unlike more classical novels whose I know the ending before watching it (for example «a business proposal») that is another type of comfort.

P.S. I don't consider RW in my final rating.

This series is not that good but I was deeply emotionally involved.

The plot is standard, nothing outstanding. One thing I have to mention is the focus on family dysfunctional dynamics. I’ve experienced feelings like don’t be accepted in your own family, being different, having an exhausting parent who doesn’t know how to do their job, lack of communication… I believe all those things are well portraited here. I could see how the childhood dynamics interfere with today’s life and relationships, even in the little things and behaviours. Also, how someone can overcome all this, by finding people who want to and try to love them correctly and genuinely.

In particular, Natsuki’s acting is what struck me the most. He’s always happy, joyful and cheerful and enthusiast but inside there is the mother and the lost of a crucial person. His phone buzzing every single minute, its noise is so frustrating that you get to understand Kosuke’s pain a little more. Masashi’s performance isn’t bad either, but feels less natural. A scene I love is the one with Kosuke’s mother. He is great there, really. I have to say something about Kosuke’s mom as well, her performance is great and the character very interesting. This mother-son dynamic is the most appealing thing of the series.

Unfortunately, the intimate scenes are a huge, enormous, giant problem that cannot be ignored. Both the actors and the director don’t do a good job, at all. Everything, every single thing, is so synthetic and fake. First, the kisses (there should be two more, by the way, because they can’t say goodbye with the hand anymore): the kiss itself, the slowness, the touching. Everything is a ‘no’ for me. Second the filming: if the kiss is bad, because that’s what it is, why do you zoom on it? It’s absurd. You should hide it, film from another angle. The s*x scene (if we can call it like this) is also not good. And this is making me thinking: how do they select actors? Why did they chose them if their kissing is like this? There are only two/three intimate good moments that feels natural. My favourite is a Shinichiro’s kiss on Kosuke’s back (the morning after).

It's a shame. The rest of the filming is good and matches with the atmosphere. I wanna mention a shoot when they’re arguing: the camera is positioned in an angle that expand the space, increasing the distance between the two. Also, the music is fantastic, marvellous, fabulous. I play the flute and I enjoyed listen to it the whole time. There’s also the piano. I can tell this aspect was well looked after. I loved it. This is definitely my favourite thing from this show.


thank you for reading, kisses <3

I'm sorry but ... No

PLOT
Nothing much. No plot, no sense. The bottom has zero personality: his most-said word is ‘sorry’. I understand people has to figure their feelings out but, certainly, not this way. He’s in university, he is nineteen years old and, though, he seems a child. This can’t be justified. The development of the situation is, also, unreal, and the top is a bit toxic. I saw a lot of projects like this one, so it’s nothing special or new. I hope there’s gonna be an end not so far (of this type of plot and characters). I can not connect with and empty character. If I like someone that ignores me, I leave, okay? I noticed and appreciated that, in the last episodes, they tried to balanced the relationship. Nevertheless, it didn’t feel right. Their ‘intimacy’ and the bottom’s confidence may increase a little, but still. It reminds me of ‘Honey Lemon Soda’ I don’t know if you saw this (just the anime for now).
The one that seems to be the ‘side couple’ is not a side couple, they don’t look like boyfriend and girlfriend at all. And there is a character, hidden at first, that just comes out of nowhere and, then, vanishes. Both things feel fake and unnatural.

ACTING
I believe the bottom did a really great job, the top was okay but couldn’t laugh naturally. Everyone else was good, normal. Nothing outstanding.

MUSIC AND PRODUCTION
Great work. I like the song, the mountain’s location, the editing, the marbles. The graphic result is really nice so far.

RV
I’m not going to watch it again. I don’t feel like recommend this series to you guys. I’m sorry (the only possible reason is to see Takara, who's really hot).

Fabulous start with a ‘just good’ ending

- This series is divided into two parts that are so different one another. The first one is the longest: the story is almost perfect, really. Nothing to say, it is just perfect. I’ve fallen in love with the peace sensation that infuses, with its lifestyle. Everything is loose how I like it, and the fact that the female lead moved to the island from the city is as amazing as the sea setting. She slowly becomes a better person, surrounded by friends, joy, and understands her genuine feelings for the male lead with bravery and maturity. Doo Shik is a fabulous character, unique I’d say: sincere smile, great personality and special sensitivity. Everything is happiness, the island seems almost like heaven. Additionally, I have to mention the brief lesbo story (I'm so happy lgbtq is included): nothing is accomplished but I find it so loveable. To sum up, this part of the plot is complete, it has everything that is needed. Music as well, it perfectly matches the shining, high-spirited atmosphere. I like two songs in particular from this first section (my romance and romantic sunshine).
- As for the second part, things shifted: the female lead completely changes her behaviour, all we talk about is the male lead’s trauma and everything slowly becomes black, repetitive and depressing. Hye Jin is too much, her maturity is completely gone, her exaggerations clash with the path she followed from the start. Sometimes it feels like she’s back to her previous self, not in a good way. Doo Shik’s past is important, of course, but is too concentrated in this second part of the story so the whole plot seems unbalanced. His trauma absorbs all the light I mentioned before, leaving us with nothing, not even tears. Also, some group scenes felt redundant: after all these episodes, seeing the same people every time may be not as impressive as it was at the beginning, more made-up and less genuine. There are some marvellous moments though: they’re so moving and extremely heartbreaking I cried my eyes out for fifteen minutes straight watching them. Additionally, I have to mention a sad event, something I can’t tell right now, for the spoiler thing. I can only say that it wasn’t necessary. At all. I’m sure you’ll feel it. The music is, again, matched with the atmosphere. Good job.
- The cinematography is as good as always, maybe two or three flaws but nothing more. I particularly appreciate some close-up shots during dramatic or crucial scenes. Again, I love the sea setting and the old fashion and simple lifestyle. Doo Shik’s house is just fabulous: I went crazy seeing all the books and vinyl records he has. Not to mention the clinic in front of the sea (yeah, the sea again).
- The acting is good as well. All I’m thinking about is Doo Shik’s smile and tears as well as anger, this character is so hot and cool his own way, you know. I’m serious. The actor (Kim Seon Ho) is so genuine and real, fantastic. However, everyone did an awesome job. I especially appreciate the grandma’s trio, they are cute and funny. Additionally, I have to mention Jang Yi Jun’s crying in episode fifteen and the ‘baby delivery’ scene some time before. The only negative thing I can think about is the female lead: for me, it was more the character than the actress (as I said before), but some scenes felt unnatural. Also, I’d appreciate at least one intimate scene between the main couple: they are adult, we’re not in high school. Again, it felt not real. I doubt I’ll watch the whole series again, maybe just a few scenes. But I definitely recommend it. If you haven’t watch it, please go do it now.

fairytale and mystery

Great plot, split in two parts: before and after Enchanté.

From episode one to eight there’s the fairytale, the searching of Enchanté. Well, great work. I like the mystery and the continue flirting. The ‘Enchanté’ thing is captivating, I’m genuinely curious about who they are, why, when, how. It’s handled fabulously. Different side stories are also well linked together, led to the right ending. The background parable is also amusing to see, the literature major problem.

The main couple is good. The ‘friends to lovers’ trope is in my top three. They flirt every single episode, a lot of times, in every possible situation. Their faces are always so near to each other, the physical contact is crazy. It’s clear from the beginning that they like each other, everything is so much credible it seems real. They kiss a correct number of times (for me), the kisses are well done and are another proof of the great chemistry of the main characters (this is their first series together but they have known each other since childhood, so I’m not surprised).

In the last two episodes we’re back to reality. There’s the usual ending rush: the big news, the ‘breaking up’ of the main couple after few days of relationship, the arriving of another character, Theo’s decision, Akk isn’t doing anything. Only God knows what is happening. The big news is ‘in the air’ since the first episode so Theo could have known and it could have happened before the end, to leave some space in the last episode. I’m talking about early episode nine, not so far behind. We could have just skipped the ‘popularity problem’ that came out as nothing in the end.

The acting is generally good. Except for the main couple, I know and appreciate, in particular, Gawin, Force, Fluke, Aou, Boom and JJ’s abilities and also Theo’s parents’. Book’s acting left some doubts. I don’t know if it’s him or his character (so, the script) but Theo seems lost and dumb. Feeling amplified by the fact that his face is constantly flooded with a beauty effect. It matches the ‘fairytale’ environment but idk.

Let’s talk about music and production. There were just few mistakes in the editing, for example some cuts and the ‘fake Paris background’ in the last episode, the Eiffel Tower and the sun are so unreal that I can’t stay silent about it. The music fits the show: the opening is nice, nothing I’d download but it is well merged with the general vibe. Saifa’s song is so gentile and romantic.

This series could have been way better

The idea is strong but not well developed and managed. It’s a huge pity cause the ‘parallel universes’ trope is actually incisive and good for me. The plot is a bit messy and superficial. A lot of things happen so quickly, maybe there is a running competition we don’t know about. No space for deep emotions or any real connection between the viewers and the characters, there is always a new and fast (as well) thing to focus on. And that is ironic if you think that every episode is about fifty-five minutes. The only constant I can think of is the ‘friendship’ theme. The only character who had potential (but wasn’t on screen) is Tess (Ohm’s character): he’s the one who growths during the series (he gets his head together). The main couple feels crazy as well: they just are together, without being together, thinking they should be with other people. It seems a bit stupid; maybe the production team wanted to string the series out. For me, they decided to invest time on the wrong thing (as said above).

On the other hand, the cast is awesome. Aou, Boom, Perth, Nanon, Ohm, Pepper. Do I have to say more? Also, this is my first JimmySea and they were pretty good. Pepper is my solid ground, my man, always the wise character. Perth, great as always. In my opinion this cast is wasted for a plot like the one we have here. Aou and Boom are supposed to be the side couple but there’s no couple, just side. They meet late, we don’t see anything. In addition, it would have been nice to see how things were going in the first universe as well (but this comes from my personal taste).

Music and production are sufficient. Good music, nothing that I’d listed to outside the series but it fits the show, added at the right moments. My favourite song is the opening: I not only like it for the music itself but also for its visual aspect. The general scene’s editing is correct. The fact that every episode is a colour is pleasant and fits the story.

I’m not going to rewatch or recommend this series. It is sufficient but not completely worth the time for me. I watched it because I was searching for all the AouBoom series but this is not even that. I won’t say that I’m mad but it’s a huge pity. I’m sorry.

Fun fact. I decided to watch this show this year but it was aired in 2022 (as you may know). Back then I saw the trailer, so this time I skipped it. I was startled to see Ohm and Nanon, because I had absolutely forgot about their appearance here. Completely. I cried on the first episode. I kinda miss them…

A series I don't like

let's start with a general comment and then I'll be more detailed.
There are things I like. Firstly both the tops ride bikes. A big fan of motocycles like me will appreciate the environment that surrounds the story as well as the age gap between tops and bottoms. Also, I have to admit both the tops are just so fine, especially Payu. He is so cool not just handsome, he's an architect and a mechanic, I am so into him for these aspects. Secondly, I always like it when two couples of friends end up mixing, and the fact that their names recall the title is kinda cute.
What a bummer! Unfortunately, the two stories are separated. I can not understand why it was decided to structure the series this way. This error is crucial for me, the series would have been another thing with a mix. Not only this choice damages the cohesion of the whole show, but it also points out the gap of material between the first (payu and rain) and the second couple (pai and sky). Also, the editing is at times confusing, with weird cuts and scenes disjointed, unconnected with the rest of the show's previous or next scene. Sometimes when they kiss there's a gap, for a changing of scenario I feel a little lost like there's again a gap of time or there's no connection and the scene seems brutally cut. I can also hear the microphones sometimes. I find this not professional and it bothers me.
Let's talk about the first couple.
There is no plot. I can not see a story. Why are the characters even interacting with each other ? The reason is futile, nonsense like their first kiss. It is shown by the lack of material, it's clear that there is nothing to say. Some scenes are repeated, whole scenes. I don't like that. Also, Payu is not a green flag. Although I've said he's hot, he doesn't treat Rain correctly in my opinion and I am talking about harassment, two times (little reminder: MAME is the author of the novel). And Rain is an empty character, there is nothing to say about him. I particularly liked a scene though (ep 6 3/4), a kiss after a race, before and after that. Really good, fantastic I have to admit.
Let's talk about the second couple.
Again, they should be considered the main couple in my opinion, there is a plot, there are things to film and you can see it from the length of the episodes and lack of repetitions. I particularly enjoyed their first sex scene, I find it cool. There is a profound key theme here: Sky's trauma. Pai is a gentleman, although sometimes seems a stalker, there is just a tiny line in between. I have to admit I don't like how Sky is so attached to Pai at the end, I feel like Pai instigates this behaviour too. It is an emotional addition that wasn’t dealt with properly, sending another harmful message: that love can heal you from trauma. It can’t, therapy can.

Well done kdrama

This kdrama is well done. It is not focused on "big themes" but analyzes interpersonal relationships [like romance, friendship, family] and emotions [like jealousy, grudge]. Although it's a simple "office drama" it's well structured, the plot it's interesting.
Sure thing there are some clichés, I'm referring to Kang Tae-moo's grandfather or Jin Young-seo's father.
Furthermore the first meeting of the side couple [love at first sight], their quarrel over Young-seo's colleague and the initial 'situation-ship' of the main couple. However both couples are 'correctly' developed. I appreciated Kang Tae Moo's confession as soon as he realises his feelings, I think Shin Ha-Ri is really cool and strong, and for me both couples can be considered green.
The acting is marvelous, referring to all the members of the team, so natural and plausible. I have to say my favourite character is the main female lead, she's amusing, sunny, charismatic <3
The music was balanced between serious themes and funnier ones, so it perfectly represents the soul of the show.

Rewatch
I have to admit that I already watched the series few times after the first. It's so enjoyable.

p.s. I don't consider RW in my final rating

Perfect Series

I'll start by saying that this was my first Thai drama ever: I was on YouTube when I randomly saw one of its trailers. Therefore it has a significance that overcomes the work itself and influences a part of my life. Indeed UWMA introduced me to the Thai drama world and encouraged me to deepen that world, making me passionate from the first episode.

Since the beginning of 2020, this drama has been my touchstone: I usually compare every new series to this one. I always think I was lucky to start with UWMA. Although there are some "questionable" scenes, overall the work seems to be well-balanced:
- there are cliches but they aren't that unpleasant
- great equilibrium between main and side couples
- the story is captivating, the suspense and mystery amiable and long enough. And I love the red thread trope <3
- supportive and enjoyable music (I downloaded at least two songs)
- the acting is [I wasn't gonna say perfect but] if not we are almost there. I was there with them, near them. For real. I lost count of how many times I cried in front of the screen.
- nice production

UWMA brings along considerable emotional baggage, it's a cross of destinies. There's poetry in it. It is both soft, like clouds or cotton candy, and rough as the impetuosity of life.


P.S. I don't consider the rewatch value in my final rating.

Something I have already seen, extraordinarily done

Story
-Bit-na and Kyu Hyun: best friends to lovers. The characters were funny, pleasant and sensitive. Great side couple, healty relationship (needed if you think about the main couple).
-Lesbo couple <33: best friends to lovers again. I have rarely seen a lesbian couple so I was happy, glad. They were so cute and sweet and emotional and Lee Ho Jung is so cool, I find her amazing!
-The main couple: toxic. All of you will agree with me saying that at least at the beginning the relationship was toxic. Jea-eon didn't want a serious relationship with Nabi until episode 7/8 I think. On the contrary, there was the other guy. He was cute, nice. In my opinion, Na-bi should have acted differently: you can't treat a guy in a special way when you are clearly in love with someone else!

Acting
All of the actors did a marvelous job: I could feel their emotions and passion. let's have some examples:
- The kiss between Bit-na and Kyu Hyun was so good! I wa clear that they wanted that kiss although she was drunk. 
- Sol and Seo's confession was also full of emotions. Both of them didn't want to lose the other.
- In all their scenes there was a strong connection between Na-bi and Jea-eon. When Na-bi was with Do Hyuk I wasn't the same.

Music
The music was good, I enjoyed all the songs and downloaded two: Like a butterfly and Fall in love. The same goes for the production part. Good editing and positions of the cameras. The director ad the production team did a great job.

Rewatch
I watched the entire show again a second and a third time. Separately some favourite scenes.

One of my favourite kinds of stories

Preview: I assessed this series like this because there were some aspects that I like in general although some technical things weren't well managed.

1-STORY: One of my favourite kinds of relationships is the one between a policeman and a criminal so when I read the plot of the series I decided to watch it. Also, the framework was interesting, so I wanted to know who killed Tang and Chen's girlfriend. The problems in the storyline are that firstly it is not really possible to have this kind of relationship (but this is a series and I can accept it), secondly the plot was a little bit confusing (I always appreciate storylines that are cryptic because I like to guess who the guilty one is but this one was too much enigmatic because we didn't have enough information to try to predict what happened 4 years before) and lastly a real policeman cannot act like Shao-fei did (doing what he wants so just continue following Tang-yi wherever he goes) but the rest of the police and mafia's world was well represented also thanks to the acting, in particular during the fight scenes.

2-ACTING: let's start with bad things: I disliked one of the side couples, the one composed by Jack and Zhao. I felt that their relationship wasn't realistic enough as much as the way they got together.
The story of the other side couple was canonic but I appreciated it because love stories between presidents and secretaries are one of my favourite stereotypes. The acting was also better than the first side couple.
My favourite couple was the main one because, as I said before, their kind of relationship is one of my favourite ones and due to their acting. While watching them I could imagine a real and healthy relationship. That was also because they kissed a lot of times: in my opinion, this helped to make it clear that their relationship was daily because kisses are a sign of privacy. I also adored their confessions: it was so simple! Shao-fei had no worries about confessing and neither had Tang-Yi after understanding that he was in love with the policeman (I love that this clear fact is obviously in contrast with the chaotic framework but let's forget for a minute that someone was trying to kill both of them). Another thing that made me fall for them is the completely different personalities of the two lovers (talking also about the individual part of the acting I noticed that Chris and Jack did a great job) that are complementary.

3-MUSIC: The ost was good enough. The music during the episodes was also a good support for the scenes.

4-RV: Tbh I have only rewatched a few of the scenes that were my favourite ones (I haven't counted the rewatch value in my final rating).

P.S. Am I the only one who is in love with the poster of the series? it summarized the contrast between the two principal characters (it can be noticed by the way they are dressed) and shows that the kind of situation in which they will meet is particular (one of the two is going to shoot the other). The pink background is just perfect!

Thank you for reading my review, hope you have found it useful and don't forget to use the #freetangyi ;)

NOW I'M MAD

a) Story
I have been waiting for this series since the end of the second season of Tharntype. I have appreciated the first nine episodes and also the 10th cause I know what happened even if I didn't see it all. I have wanted for a long time to rate this series with a different grade like 8.5 or even 9 cause I was enjoying it a lot. The type of story that goes from friendship to love is also one of my favourite ones. I just lost interest in this work when I understood what was going to happen in the last two episodes. I know there are good scenes even there but I didn't wanna watch them because I knew that every time is the same thing, every time are gonna happened those nasty events that you don't wanna see. The question is why? Why are these occurrences always on screen? In my opinion, the series will be watched even without them.
I gave 7 to the story because the first nine episodes were charming: all the things were going well, the characters were talking to each other (and this is rare) and solving problems together like a real couple would have done. I also found some characters interesting like Fiat's mother's one because I have always seen problems associated with rivals (like King) and homophobic parents but she was different. Secondly, although his actions at the end, my favourite persona so far was Leo. He was there when needed, he was always fighting for Fiat and supporting him, he was not against having fun too and, properly jealous. Don't you think that he is similar to Dean from Until We Meet Again?

b) Acting
The acting was well done. First was the number one for me: his crying scenes were awesome like the ones with his parents. Ja was pretty good too but sometimes his expressions were strange, I just could easily understand he was acting. James, Smart and the others also did a great job.
Love scenes were cute, so cute, with both the main and the side couple I felt the affinity between the two actors. I have to say that I don't like when they say something like: «I have to leave or you will be in danger», «I won't be able to stop myself». These are cringe sentences that for me can be omitted. I noticed the quick changing of the atmosphere, from sweet to seducing during LeoFiat scenes, something that I appreciated. Further, I enjoyed the fact that Fiat got some experience in sex, thanks to this those scenes were more attractive. Regarding Leon and Pob I loved the way they kissed, for the fact that Smart took James' neck and not his cheek.

c) Music
The songs were enjoyable, differently from the effects during the episodes. I can understand that this series was a little dramatic sometimes and that those effects could help defuse the atmosphere but they were too many.

d) Rewatch value
I have rewatched the first seven episodes at least three times each; regarding the others, I have just viewed my favourite scenes. I must say that this series was gorgeous and I am sorry about my rating but I am so disappointed in the last episodes.

P.S. I don't consider the rewatch value in my final rating.

thank you for reading my review :)
