Really? Why don't you like it?
Yes, its not an happy ending. So many people would be disappointed about that, and I was one of them. But that doesn't mean it's a bad ending either. I also was wandering what happened to the bad guy, but at the end, he was even worse than expected. But it is what it is. The guys who have done bad choices in life finish rarely with an happy ending. They both did.You hope until the last minute that they will met again, but "Be Happy" showed us that he is really gone. Many things showed us it was gonna be a bad ending, because off all the clues around. First, the dealing with a shrine, then all the Chinese superstitions and the four Horsemans. Death is always around, so we had everything showing us that they were doomed.
But we had hope, like the characters, and its what made the story interesting. We felt the emotions: sadness, hope, love, forgiveness, understanding, lost,...
I had to watch it a second time to truly understand it, and the movie final helped putting everything together.

This is one of the first BL that changed Thailand.
Some ratted this drama very badly. And I will not. First, because you need to discard the remake from 2016 that was really bad. First, because the respect between the original movie from 2014 and the series staring Fluke Teerapat and Fluke Natouch. Before talking about the series, you need to watch the original movie. The story about those two brothers (not blood related) who felt in love against an homophobic father and a society who fought against LGBT during that time (the story is between the 90s and early 2000s).But, while the story is about homophobia and acceptance, this drama 5 years later show the changes over time. In 2015 the LGBTQI in the U.S can marry legally. So, while Golf "died" in 2013 and went to live with his Half-sister in the US, he saw the changes and when he came back in 2018, the wold had changed toward the LGBTQI community. So, this series make sense, and people who rated it so low didn't even try to understand it.
On top of that, if I remember correctly, this was from the real life of real people. (For example, the group Axis, from Gondola Entertainment is where the two characters came from). Look online for more info.

A good continuation of Anti Reset
I was happy that the cast of Anti Reset was still here, and had a role that made sense. This universe of SciFi With Stay By My Side with the ghosts and now with robots too is cute and fun to watch. Its different while its not a new thing. Most SciFi romance are straight, so seing it with BL characters makes it fun. First, because unless a computer is designed to be separating genders, it would not make any difference to it if you're male or female. If we think about it, if a robot is designed as male, but can't reproduce, is it still a "male"?So those BL are revealing a great deal in our society today. What really define gender, and why would it be strange then for 2 men or 2 women to be together?
I only wished that this drama would have been a bit more action oriented. The father look like a dealer, and I expected more fights. But it also would have been too far from the Ant Reset plot...
So maybe, one day, we'll have a real action scifi BL story!!!

Another view on Jimin, Jeong Kook and even V was fantastic to watch!
Seeing members of BTS be relax and themselves and being kids again before the army was refreshing.I have no idea why people (or anti fans) could be cruel to them. And I have no idea why people would seen them as "gay"...
Of course, I refer to the all scandal from people before the show was on air, and even during those last few weeks. I'll tell you, from a gay person, that are 3 very straight guys who are also entertainers and best friends. They are certainly very attractive, but definitely NOT gay. Jimin is very much like Taemin from Shinee, the same vibe. But being a cute guy instead of a hot guy doesn't make people gay. Anyway, those 8 episodes were fantastic. Seing V was also very good. He was certainly the more mature of the 3, but could still act like a kid sometime. The vibe reminded me a bit of Youth Over Flower with Seventeen in Italy rom earlier this year. They didn't have chalenges but were able to entertain for each 1h15 episodes. Korean in shows like this are always obsessed with food.
The only point I would make is I didn't really understand why they spent so much on traveling. We barely saw the US (under the rain), Jeju Island (very sunny) or even Japan (snowy). We knew the location, but it was pretty much it. >everything could have been done in Korea and it would have felt the same from my point of view. But hey, Disney has a lot of money to spent, so at least the cast and crew had a very good time traveling while shooting!
Hope we'll get another series when they're back from the military in June 2025!!! So maybe for 2026???
Let's push Disney about it!!!!
