For the fangirls...

I suppose it's for the fangirls otherwise nothing earthshattering happened... Yes you can love one another even if you have confronting personalities... and every couple is different. Nothing anyone needs to get told by any episode, as this should be obvious.

So, it was an ok watch. It had it's moments and some of them were very silly, but still enjoyable for the most part. It does not add to the story and the side couples are for the most time just an extra with not much to do. I would say you could skip this and would not miss a thing, on the other hand it's not really bad. The best advice I can give is deceide for yourself 🤣.

from very sad to very happy and eveything inbetween

After Mizukis death everyone is struggling to come to grips with reality. Her parents are devasted, her not be boyfriend is and of course her daughter Umi is. For Natsu her ex, his world changes daramatically after he learns he has a daughter and his struggles just begin. His GF also struggles with a decision she felt she should not have made, but she is also the reason Umi exists, even when both of them never knew each other. While the do not force each other to be a "happy" family they bond through Umi in another way.

This show is an exceptional series depicting the feelings of all persons involved. I would call it a tear-dropper. We get everything from the happy moments to the sadest moments and everything inbetween. The only thing we don't get is a conventional happy familiy, which is not a bad choice at all. In the end all of them support each other having bonded through Umi which is a very happy end indeed.

I can only recommand this show. If you are sensitive you may watch this kind of drama with friends and/or family because it could wear you down. The only thing I don't understand is, why Umi-chan is not a main lead because acting in such heavy stuff must be vey challenging for a seven year old girl. Besides her the cast was exceptional, the cinematography top notch and everything was executed to perfection.

Not my cup of tea...

I don't like the mixture between comedy and drama... either do comedy or do drama but not both of them. The abusive use of the accociated soundeffects did not make it better. While Huey, Dewey and Louie are mostly fun, the hysterical girl was annoying as hell. I guess it's a trademark for BLs to have to include an annoying girl/woman in every production and that is so cliché and should not happen in 2025. But what they did again was lazy writing, because the three boys get lost im the end and did not get involved in anything... even the boy/girl-love stories are left unexplored. So the pacing of the whole series is choppy at best.

The actors did a good job, even when I don't feel the main couple. I don't know what it is, both are for sure nice persons and in their way cute/handsome, but together they don't give me a spark.

So all in all a typical BL which did nothing new, played it mostly safe, had of course stereotypical baddies. Also the "ex" was an asshole but everyone forgave him in an instant, not very realistic in my book. For me, not even a medicore show, while some comedy was ok, the storyline was flat and didn't get me emotionally for most of the time. You may watch it and like it, but I did not.

It ends with a cliffhanger....

As always I'm too late with the review, because I thought there will come more episodes.... there will be a "season 2" but now they stoppend in the middle of it.

The positive first: While most thai shows have a trash, meaningless story, they at least tried to make it a simple, but an good one. The actors also did their best. The only downside is the lack of enviroment with missing extras in the background with no noises in the background and mostly small sets. Of course, this is a low low budget effort, but done right in the most places.

Overall it was quite entertaining and I hope the "2nd season" will be completed soon and you can binge watch all of it!

started slow but builds up till the finale

I did start this show with no expectations whatsoever, but I thought the premise is interesting. While the ML is a quite an one-dimensional character, there is more to him than the eye sees. The whole cast did a very good job. You get drama, you get comedy, you get thriller and you get a bit of suspense in this package. And every story arc gets stronger with each episode. At least after half the episodes you should know there is something fishy up the top, I will not spoil it here, but that was what I expected and they did not disappoint.

Overall an entertaining show, and in contrast to most shows it starts slow and gets better with every epsiode, so give it time.

Unrealistic imho...

When you are seven years together, I don't get it, that you have not learned to communicate with each other yet. I did not feel really engaged with the story because for me it was unbelievable. I just don't get it, that they had the problem not much much earlier in their relationsship... Imho when you do not communicate your grievances a relationsship is not a relationsship, it's living parallel to each other not with each other.

I can't fault the actors and even the production quality is decent for such a low budget show. It's ok to binge-watch this and maybe you get more out of it, but for me it was just average, not really bad, but the story made not much sense for me.

I was disappointed with this japanese BL

While the first episode did hype me up, it does go down till the finale.
I would have know more about their past, I would have skipped the assistants love interest and I would concentrated more on charater growing because this series was so short and had too much unnecessary stuff in it, it does not explain Miyatas change very well. The chemistry between the grown up leads was medicore at best, the "young" ones had a more believable chemistry imho. Senpai did well, but Miyata lacked a lot. Also the kissing and "hot scenes" were not that believable for me.
While production value was good, the story and it's execution lacked too much for me, which makes me disappointing in this japanse BL. It's not bad, but it could have been so much more.

A fluffy story with fatal flaws...

This is a fantasy BL every K-Pop fan was waiting for. A K-Pop idol meets one of his die-hard fans and so the story begins. Too bad there was no focus on the music too and what we got was not that impressive. The series failed to make this a deep story about the struggles about idols. So we get a superficial story about idols but quite a nice romance. And when we think all will end well, we got the drama of our idol being a jerk. If it was me, I think I would not stayed that calm. This part of the story was ill adviced imho. They could have removed it and put more energy (and writing) in the second couple, because we got nearly nothing from their past and it would be much more interesting if they have explored that part. They chat in the finale and we do not see how the reconciled either - WTF? Another irk for me is that this is just about the idol without his other group-members. Where were they? Why is there no interaction with them. That felt completely unrealistic.

So overall, I'm a bit disappointed. I have no complains about the acting or chemistry or the production quality at all. I feel like the story is too flat. Using soundeffects does not make scenes more funnier as we all know. Of course they should have invested also more in the music to create an OST which could be remembered.

It's not a bad drama but it's not a stellar one either. It has more good sides than bad, so there is no reason not to watch it, especially if you are into the fluffy stuff.

What does this series want to tell us?

First, the series pushes us directly into the fray without any context at all. If you didn't watch the Tamkumi-kun Series 6 movie, you are lost of what is happening. Besides that, they changed some of the actors so even if you have seen it, it feels a bit weird. Only Gii is the same actor in the movie and the series.

And instead of concentrating on one story there are many stories involved with little screentime and without any depth besides the main couple and one rejection which was done well. I was never a fan of the Takumi-kun series, because they are mostly shallow and without substance. Such a series is not really "helpful" at all.

Production quality was ok, but not spectacular, costumes were also just ok, I guess because of a limited budget. So, I would have prefered a second movie instead of a series with the same actors and of course some real kissing which is still not happening in any Takumi-kun series. Besides some cute "boys" there is not much going for this series. It has some fluffy moments, it has some serious moments, but overall it's just a medicore series with a codensed storyline which should have been expanded especially with the "side-couples". If you liked the movie, this will contiune the story. Should you have not seen the movie I guess you will be overwhelmed with the story.

stupid format, cute series

As usual, the format is a pain in the butt... why are Gen Z too lazy to rotate their phone? Let's say I will never understand that. Besides of that, we will get a cute story with some plot-holes. The beginning is fine and the flash forward was not something to misunderstand, but the solution of their becoming a couple is more than strange. It just happens in a blink of an eye and also "Woo Jins" sister was a bit strange.

Storywise there is a lot room for improvement, but production quality was good, acting was good and overall the vibe of the show was good. I did enjoy watching it even with the plot-holes and happily enough I found a version with all 50 episodes cut together. Otherwise this format is a clear pass for me. I understand they say that Gen Z has not the attention span to watch 75 minutes uninterrupted, but I think, that's BS. Imagining that I have to watch 50 episodes each around 90 seconds every day would be a chore for me. When you have the chance to watch it on your smartphone or even on your TV, you should do so, but beware the subs are flashing really fast, so sometimes you may need to rewind just to get what they said if you are not fluent in korean :) And because it's a low budget production my rating is a notch higher, so please don't be too harsh with me 🤣.

Aahhh.... sooooo nice....

There is not much else to say, it just warmed my heart...

The only thing I felt unneeded was the panel... Imho it did nothing for me and I don't need other "opinions" to come to a conclusion myself and it took some minutes off of other content. I prefer an unfiltered view of things. The second negative point is, it would have been so much nicer if something like this get at least eight episodes... compared to some of the crap shows which we have to endure for twelve episodes.

So overall I hope they are together till the end of time and I wish them happyness and health.

The most incapable police officers ever!

OMG... why did GMMTV decide to put this pile of crap on Netflix? If they wanted to promote BLs, this was the wrong series to do it. This series was also the wrong series for the actors. Would they be 15 years older, than their ranks would make sense, but so, it was completely unbelievable. While we all wish the actors do stuff besides school or university GMMTV does not comprehend that certain roles requires an certain age. What's even worse, they had considerable audio problems through many episodes where they (the production team) failed to check that the recording would be fine. For GMMTV this is inexcusable. It's not an independet low budget production where technical shortcomings can be overlooked, but not when they put it on Netflix.

The story itself is also boring as fuck, there is not even a real romance evolving, just one guy pushing the other and it just "happens"... no finesse, no real heartbeating moments... For a BL this was very disappointing. I don't have to talk about how incapable they both are as police officers, going first to eat and then go the location - while at said location someone dies... OMG.

Everyone rating this show high should take off their pink glasses and really question what they are rating. This shows has no heights at all. Yes, to watch JoongDunk is nice, but there are tons of tiktok/shorts seeing them together and that is WAY better than watching this. I did not expect much from GMMTV but even then it was a great disappointment and a waste of my time. I know the fanarmy will bash me and say I should not watch it if I don't like it, but the point is I watch it to write reviews for people who don't have the time to watch a lot and to tell them not to waste their time. There are ton more series even from GMMTV which are way better than this crap.

Another misunderstanding trope

Airing at the same time as "Something's Not Right" this is the more mature version of quite the same story. A misunderstanding kept the two men not to connect with each other. While the plot is not as interesting they struggle less with communicating and they frustrate me way less.

Overall a good show with at least a story easy to follow, good acting, good production quality, good theme but nothing stellar. It's qute nice to watch but it will not leave a strong impression. It also seems to have less budget but they used it well with some side characters and even a company floor.

Again, worlds better compared to most thai shows, so it may be a palate cleanser after you watch something heavy or want to take your mind off to relax after a stressful work-week.
