Superb
I didn't want this series to end it was that good.It was a long series which sometimes puts you off watching it but I decided to have a look and after the first two episodes I was hooked.
Everyone of the cast did an amazing job.The two main actors Zheng ye and Xin yun who were drawn together by murder were first class actors..Lu feng and Luo fei couldn't be more poles apart in personalitys but they had a connection which drew them closer to each other to find out the truth. All in all one of the best crime dramas of 2023.Dont be put off by the 24 episodes. You will miss out.The
only other series which matches up is The Devil Judge.

A good story
Help.. What did I just watch. Where was the plot.. Did I miss it. It was embarrassing to watch.. The MLs Sangmin is in his thirties but looked a lot younger.. Dinneaw early twentiesI'm not blaming the actors because they have to work to a script but it was a total mash up.
Thai males have one thing going for them they are extremely attractive. So plenty of eye candy just a shame that the series was
ridiculously stupid. The bedroom scene with the tweezers and the foreplay with one explicit scene on the floor in compromising positions was eye opening and going on porn. I have no idea how these young actors perform like that
being watched by all and sundry it must feel odd. What some will do for stardom. I wish all
the young actors all the best on their Journey.

Story
I have come back to watching this series again after watching it a couple of years ago and Iloved it as much as the first time. I wasn't put off by some of the story leaning towards sexual assault or the obsession the one ML had
over the other because it's telling a story and how their relationship pans out in the end.
I like BLs that are more aggresive in the making because lately a lot of them are a wasted watch and quite embarrassing with
drunken antics..loud females.. Cheesy and in the end you get fed up of watching the same
storyline. I've gone on to watching crime and
brotherly love between friends. The two actors in this series were amazing but reading what they have been in recently not a lot. They had a lot of talent to some of the actors in bls now where they do that much fanservice it's cringey..

script even though some of these actors can actually act but to engage them in a series that does nothing for their talent is sad.

The story...
Loved it. I did enjoy watching this series. It was full of emotion and angst. The two ML acted their parts brilliantly you could feel the agony they both went through. In a lot of these asian BLs parents look at their kids like they have commited a murder by falling in love with the same sex. As long as they are happy as a mother I would be delighted whoever they chose. I have a gay grandson who has a partnerand we as a family love them both. Back to the series the ending wasnt what I expected but it was the only ending to follow the story.. what other ending could they miraculously come up with.Very emotional series at the end. I found it heartrending. I really wanted a happy ending for Shi Wen and Shen Nan but it wasnt to be. Shen Nan knew what he had to do and sacrificed his undying love by removing himself from Shi Wens life so he would live.

Story
Great series with 2 amazing actors Chen and Jingyi..ML and FL. A hard watch as I found Li xun everything I hate in a man ruthless.. coolly calculating and
manipulative to the extent he messed with zhu yuns head with his total disregard for any of her feelings.
I wanted her to tell him to get lost but she was so obsessed with him it took over her life. There was no excuse for his behaviour where he totally destroyed her self esteem that she felt worthless. He had his moments of showing his feelings for her but he was a Jekyl and Hyde character one minute loving next very cold. It was a great watch.. The storyline was good. All the actors
were excellent. It was a happy ending at least for both of them especially for Jingyi as her love for Li xun never faltered.

Storyline
Just finished watching Century of Love. It's was okas series go but I have never watched a bl where
crying took over the speaking roles.. bit harsh I know.
I loved both the ML but I fell in love with the young doctor. Off-road when he went through the torturous
scenes with his body looked really convincing not easy to do but he mastered it. Him and Daou were the perfect pairing. As Vee and San.. San aloof..cold..scary
Vee.. Cute.. Sassy full of fun.. both different individuals
but as they say opposites attract. Apart from the bit over the top drama that ensued it was worth a watch.

Story
Watching this series I got very resentful with mieko and ejie. She got pregnant to be a surrogate for Makki and Ejie but in the end they started Acting like a couple where Makki felt left out. Selfish behavior and as soon as she agreed to be a surrogate I thought what a stupididea. The father got his wish after his disgusting behavior to Makkie. Ejie was a coward. He shouldn't have entered into a relationship if he couldn't deal with the outcome. Being gay unfortunately is still taboo in some Asian countrys so until laws are reversed LGBTQ
young men will still have to live in the shadows. Great series to watch.. Great actors.. Great script.. I love Bl Japanese series and I I've fell for the Japanese people.

Bad acting
I watched the trailer to this but decided to give it a go.Wish I hadn't. Really below standard for a BL.
All the actors seemed on another planet. There were pauses between lines.. Rak was depressive.. No actors
really gelled.. As soon as I saw males dressed as females
the acting was over the top and it turns everything into a comedy and you can't take the series seriously. I'm not against trans actors as I have a grandson whose gay but
it really puts you off probably because it's not so prevalent in the Western dramas. All in all not a good view but that's only my opinion.

Storyline
Well only just watched this BL drama and I was quite embarrassed watching it. The two ML did not gel and to see a grown man on the floor acting like a child mumbling and whatnot and the other ML getting his guitar out to sing to him to calm him down I'm afraid he couldn't sing. He was well out of tune and that didn't help the drama. I did watch it through to the end butwasn't impressed. People in Taiwan maybe love
Actors to look vulnerable and childish but where I come from the west I have never witnessed it in any drama
I have watched. I will add that Taiwan.. Korea.. China..
Philippines since 2020 when this came out have greatly improved their BL dramas and are more professionally
done.The actors are more professional. They have many talents singing and some have dance in their repertoire
and extremely smart and good looking.

Story
There are only a few Drama series that contain all aspects that make a series brilliant and this was one of them. Stranger and Stranger 2 were superb. I have seen other series by the same Director and knew it would be worth watching. The Script was full of twists and turns.. and the gathering of some of the best Korean actors to date. I couldn't wait to see the next episode and in the end binge watch the two series. You know a good series from the first episode if it catches your attention.It's top of my list for one of the best dramas ever with
Goblin.. Devil judge.. Angels fall sometimes.. Taxi Driver.
SKorea is up with best producing and directing great KDramas... ❤️

Script.
This series was Ok and was watchable I did stay thefull 10 episodes because of the actor who played Ken.
He was a cutie.The script was ok but confusing.There were moments when between conversations there were long gaps but that could have been the camera crew keeping the camera focused to long on a scene.
The three main actors Ken..Din..Mr lue at times the acting didn't flow.I preferred the chemistry between Ken and Din they were made for each other.The tender moments between them were beautiful and you felt the connection to each other. The pairing between Mr Lue and Ken just didn't sit well. The actor looked older..different body shape..more muscular. They didn't gel well. Nevertheless other viewers might have a different opinion to me and find it fab. Everyone's different.

Story
I know a lot of viewers were not very pleased with this BL due to the way Yho was being treated but I took it for what it was a drama and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yho was depicted as a loner and fell for Segasaki otherwise he wouldn't have been in a relationship with him toxic or otherwise.Loved both actors .. Both very cute.For some reason Japanese actors are incredible at showing their emotions Love..Excitement...Happiness..Sadness. Segasaki was very cohesive in his behaviour but Yhofought back and also when drunk his feelings came to the fore so he wasn't completely taken over.. Segasaki was put in his place more than once. You have many people in life who are very submissive to someone's feelings and they live like that. They prefer not to walk away.Yes I will watch it again.

Storyline
Unfortunately this Series is like so many BLs being made dull and boring.The two main leads had no charisma at all. Scriptwriters need to stop making so many dull BLs and more with a decent
storylines.Getting drunk.. Unbuttoning shirts..long stares like they have forgot their words.Its awkward viewing.Mon and So we're completely unmatched and main leads need to appeal to the female watchers. Saint was my favourite actor easy on the eye and he needs to star in a series as a main lead
with Pond or Micky.Mon I couldn't work out..he looked totally depressed about everything and everyone he came in contact with. SO wasnt much better.Putting these two as the main leads was a disaster. No charisma whatsoever. The moments Saint and Mon were together was a different vibe. At least Mon smiled more.I hated So for humiliating Mon by deliberately kissing a girl.I wish he had ended up with Saint.He did love Mon.The ending wasn't an ending.I am none the wiser wether Mon ended up with anyone.

Input of story..
Series was really good. All the Cast was professional the storyline was well..was this a BL. The two main actors must have had certain rules to abide by or theyhad no desire to seen with their shirts off and touching flesh
which many BLs are without being to explicit. To me the actors didn't connect and because there were three suitors after one person there was no real love story to follow. It became quite boring
It was 8 episodes long that should have been concentrated on the two love interests who were extremely good looking instead we got a mish mash of a story. It was OK but not a BL we are used to seeing in. The script really let down the story.
