10/10 10/10 so exciting
I really loved their chemistry. Every episode hooked me to find or puzzled every scenes that I have watched. If you consistently watch the episode until the end you'll understand the flow of the drama. I hope there's season 2 for it. I want to see more of their chemistry and impressive acting between both actors. They portrayed their character well.Soobin and Yoonseok did a great job. Thanks for this drama l was able to watch a Korean drama again for the longest time hahaha!
I hope that they will have another project again with any genre because I know that whatever character they can do their job well.

10/10 Best Series by BossNoeul
This is one of the most captivating BL series I've watched so far. The visuals, color grading, CGI, storyline, and especially the performances by Boss and Noeul as P'Cir and N'Phu were outstanding. The series is a complete package, blending action, drama, comedy, and fantasy seamlessly.Kudos to the entire cast and crew of the TBNW series-every actor played their role perfectly, with no one feeling unnecessary or like a wasted resource. The parallel world element added an exciting twist, and Boss delivered a spectacular performance. Plus, the OSTs (Parallel, Stay) are among the best in the industry for a series. I encourage everyone to give this incredible series a chance with an open mind and without bias. It's definitely a watch worth your time!
P. S: NC is among the best in the industry, and we're talking about BossNoeul here. Their romance and romantic scenes are simply unmatched and untouchable.

10/10 The Taiwanese BL All-Stars Series
As "Kiseki" was written by Pei Yu-Lin, who also wrote the scripts of series like "History2: Crossing the Line", "History3: Trapped", both "We Best Love" series, and many more, it was clear from the start that this series would be good, and in my opinion it is by far the best Taiwanese BL series of 2023.
Bai Zong Yi (Taro Lin), a 17-year-old student, finds himself drawn into the world of Fan Ze Rui (Hsu Kai), a gangster who is about 5 years older than him. After Ze Rui has been injured, Zong Yi takes care of him and allows him to stay in his flat. Of course the two young men fall in live, but tragedy looms around every corner which makes Zong Yi end up in prison. There's a lot of drama, fighting, betrayal, and of course love, and the story is so exciting that waiting a whole week for the next episode was torture. The series is very well written and directed, and the cast is simply gorgeous.
Like in many series before, I caught a serious "second couple syndrome",
" because Nat Chen as Chen Yi and Louis
Chiang as Ai Di/Eddy are not only extremely handsome, but in contrast to other second couples in BL series, their characters are meticulously drawn and developed.
This series could also be entitled "The Taiwanese BL AII-Stars Series", because many stars of the genre have support or guest roles or cameos, among them Wilson Liu, Wayne Song and Huang Chun Chih (Make Our Days Count), Aaron Lai and Hank Wang (Be Loved In Housae, I Do), and many more.

10/10 Everything was good
10/10 Everything was goodI love this genre, and this series did not disappoint. I have over 300 BL series on my watch list, and to me, this ranks up there with "Not Me". It is like "KinnPorsche" but with a more modest budget, so the only grouse I had was that it wasn't as slick and polished, and the special effects from the gunfight scenes weren't as convincing in the first few episodes (looked like it had to do with post-production editing).
Other than that one minus point above, everything else about the series was rather enjoyable. Having watched Daou and Offroad in another BL ("Century of Love"), I find their chemistry stronger than before and very effortless and natural- in intimate scenes, you don't feel like they are acting the part, but that they're just being themselves).
Their interactions in intimate scenes felt completely unforced and they seemed full of affection for each other. In all their scenes together, there were no awkward pauses-everything flowed smoothly and easily.
Both male leads are convincing in their roles and Offroad's performance, in particular, was nuanced- one could never really tell when his character (Pheem) was lying to Than or telling the truth. He was so poker-faced sometimes that it seemed that Pheem himself couldn't separate his own lies from the truth.
The script itself was pretty tight and the pacing was decent.
The other characters in the series were pretty standard, but fortunately, they were more often 3 dimensional than not.
The ending itself was sweet but I think it might have ended better (and with less cliche) if they had Pheem meet Than at his home rather than at the docks.
Overall a satisfying watch with more pluses than minuses.
The male leads' natural chemistry and effortless interactions made the relationship aspect convincing. I rarely write reviews but I find that Daou-Offroad are often under-rated and under-appreciated by viewers, so wanted to point out that their acting is pretty good and they could
pull off this series rather well.

7/10 Dreamy Premise, Sleepy Execution
CherrieH-4 23 de julho de 2025The premise is actually pretty fresh for a BL series and definitely has potential... but-keep reading.
I Saw You In My Dream follows Ai, a university student who starts having strange, intimate dreams about his childhood friend and neighbor, Yu. Weird enough, those dreams begin playing out in real life, leaving Ai confused and slowly catching feelings.
Ai He honestly looks tired of Yu's antics-and I don't blame him. Yu's been pranking him since they were kids. With all the dream stuff happening, it makes total sense that Ai's questioning everything.
Yu The older, playful neighbor. He used to have a girlfriend but they broke up. Deep down, he's clearly hurting, but tries to brush it off with his usual playful front.
Now for the overall vibe...
This show is definitely a slow burn-and maybe a bit too slow.
Not much happens for a while aside from Ai constantly dreaming about Yu. The real intimate moments? They don't happen until episode 8. The plot mostly revolves around jealousy and a love triangle, plus Ing bottling up his feelings for Yo. It gets a little repetitive, which makes the story feel stretched and the writing a bit dull.
That said, the kisses and NC scenes were well done, and I appreciated the supportive, open-minded parents-that was a nice touch. The chemistry between the leads and their sweet moments helped keep it going. But honestly, watching it felt like forever because of all the filler scenes. It could've been stronger if they focused more on the important stuff and trimmed the excess.
Great cast, but the execution was just... okay. Like I said, there's potential here, but the repetitive plot kind of drags it down.
Would I recommend it? I won't say "don't watch it." Take a chance on the first few episodes and see how you feel.

10/10 One to watch regardless if you like BL or not
There is only one episode so far, but this series is already a success, not even because of numbers, just because you can see in every scene, every detail, every shot, every sound, every line, there is effort put into it. There were two years of planning on how to make this series perfect, and filming happened on a crazy schedule, long hours and daily, and you can SEE the effort of the actors on delivering the scenes incredibly. The theme score for this is amazing and conveys the vibe of the series, not to mention its sung by Pooh and Pavel, the main actors, themselves. I urge anyone who is NOT into BL or does NOT know Pooh and Pavel's acting: GIVE THIS A TRY. This is unlike any other one. This is horror. This is Crime investigation drama, and this is slow budding romance. Absolute 10/10 score.Was this review helpful to you?
7/10 Good and touching
I found out about this show on twitter and I'm so glad I decided to watch it. At first it was just fun and games because Kawi kept trying to "fix" his relationship with Pear but it just never turned out the way he wanted it to. But as the plot progressed, so did the character development and the relationship between the characters. I loved how Kawi's friendship with Pear (and Max) turned out in the end. And I also really liked the tender and vulnerable moments each main character shared with their parents. Honestly I cried at those parts because their parents were so understanding and supportive of them. There was no judgement and the characters were allowed to feel what they were feeling without any guilt. But of course, those were all supporting the main event which was the relationship between Kawi and Pisang.I freaking love Pisang. He's like the perfect guy and boyfriend and I got kind of annoyed because Kawi was so indecisive and unsure of himself and his feelings for Pisang. It's so easy for me to judge Kawi but how he felt and acted were justified because he had always believed himself to be straight. So the sprinkle of angst was unavoidable but it made them getting together that much sweeter. Kawi's character growth was immense and he's a completely different person at the end compared to the 1st episode which is a good thing. The happy ending was good too.

10/10 Literally, the best with one of the most gripping stories of all time in BL genre.
If you haven't watched this, you have watched nothing.Great storyline. What characters, what a magnificent script, what twists and turns and what a acting! It was truly art.
10/10 TOP.
I can't write a lot about it because I don't want to spoil anything but in the first episode itself, we are shown the best and worst sides and a gripping tale of unending suspenseful events.
Honestly, I had only seen Be On Cloud's KinnPorsche before this and I liked it but Dead Friends Forever just takes the whole damn cake. I am now deeply interested in BoC and will watch their other BL series too. It's dark, good NC scenes, truly marvelous storyline and it just keeps getting better.
The line between good and bad is so blurred that it all becomes blood red and crimson paints itself all over the walls of your mind.
Staggering piece of work.

10/10 Mercy For None.
This is one of the best series I have seen in this genre. It is faithful to its title. The writing, directing, acting, and all other aspects of the series are excellent. I cannot find a fault. What it says is what you get.It is a story about men in deadly competition. There are maybe two scenes with a female and a few with civilians, but it is not targeted to male viewers only. As a woman, I enjoyed this, as did other females. (We like Film Noir, too!) It is a testosterone-filled action all the way.
The characters are a product of their environment, and the main leads undergo development within their world and its rules. Violence reigns supreme, and blood flows from flashing blades, but it is not gratuitous. Everything happens for a reason and is within the context of the story.
These are men who, if playing sport, would keep running if their legs broke because in this world, to stop is to die.
Adrenaline is a powerful drug.
While seeing some get their well-earned karma is satisfying, others provoke sympathy for what could have been or what was lost. I developed a liking for the main lead particularly, and understood a many of the others.
I recommend a binge-watch with Korean snacks and soju or beer. :) Sandra, Australia. June 2025.
It beats any gang-related series totally. I include The Godfather series, which I dislike because it romanticises the Mafia story. This series most certainly does not romanticise Korean gang rivalry and its internal politics.
As an older female in Australia who loves KDrama and JDrama and reads the English subtitles, I thoroughly enjoyed this and wish I spoke Korean.

10/10 Absolutely fascinating Chinese drama
I can't remember seeing tv series that afected me so much. I don't know if that is because of the different style (Chinese movies have a unique approach to the viewers) or because of the drama plot itself but it was so good. The first few episodes I've struggled with because there was so much information I had hard time remembering and a lot of names which I couldn't remember but after a few episodes it was easier for me to watch. I think the most interesting thing about the drama were the characters and their development through the episodes. There was a hidden message behind every scene which I found absolutely fascinating. The two main leads executed their roles perfectly. I was captivated by Wang Yibo's performance as Lan Zhan. To have a few lines and to have to count on the facial expressions it's the most difficult role to play. Good job! Abou the plot - it was interesting, it touched very powerful and meaningful themes such as family relationships, brotherhood and even love.Some the scenes in the series were one of the most romantic things I have ever watched, even though there were only hints. I found that approach very powerful. The costumes were great, the atmosphere was like a fairytale, the OST was perfect. And yes, after 30th episode when everything started to come to place 1 cried a lot and I'm not a movie crier at all. Every little detail moved me and after the last episode I can't stop thinking about that drama.

10/10 You'll definitely fall in love with this series!
First of all, before watching you should be informed first that the series is just an adaptation to the book in wattapad. So expect that the storyline is different from the book, if you're a fan from the book in wattpad its clearly not its resemblance just an adaptation to the characters.Overall, the series is not your ordinary Filipino film. The story is full of plot twist that will leave you hanging & amazed. I could say its one of a kind and from watching it to iwant-youtube-netflix I can still feel the emotions I felt when I first watched it. Its a never ending mixed of emotions that will give you a heartfelt feelings.
In addition, I think Belle Mariano (Maxpein) really nailed it.
She carried the show from the beginning till the end with her acting, I would say my favorite part would be episode 3 when her eyes speaks a million of emotions when she carried her scene that touches the heart of many. I also think that the author made a really good plot twist at the end, its your no ordinary filipino film more of an adaptation of kdramas' storyline.

10/10 F4 Thailand is the best show I've ever experienced
I'm not exaggerating - this show is such a treasure. If you're familiar with any of the previous versions, you're in for a ride. The creators are clearly inspired by all previous versions, and what they've done is pull out the best symbolism and themes from all of them to make this incredibly well-paced love journey. All of the young actors are fresh but believable, and this is clearly a passion project for everyone involved. I recommend checking out the review show "F4 Obsessed" on YouTube if you want to magnify your experience. There are references in F4 Thailand to King Arthur's Court, mythology like Psyche and Eros, and an overall theme of celestials falling from the sky - stars beings being knocked out of the heavens by a little girl who is just a simple weed. It's absolutely brilliant storytelling and just very well-made. Ignore the haters. There's too much to love in this one, they're simply overwhelmed and confused.Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 Most Underrated Drama
Korean dramas are known for their stereotypes. The overarching story may change, the genders might be revered (figuratively but in some cases literally), the girl might be rich instead of the guy, the witch may get the man instead of the princess, but the major beats are always the same; guy and girl are meant to be, blah blah gets in their way, they get together in the end. True that some of the recent entries have tried to shatter major stereotypes (take Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo for example) but no kdrama breaks stereotypes the way Be Melodramatic does. Most kdramas start off funny and light hearted, then quickly shift to the same gear that every other drama does with over the top melodrama and sadness, oh so much sadness. Be Melodramatic has surprisingly managed to balance the tears-in-your-eyes comedy, heart throbbing romance and poignant melodrama that never goes over the top in such an effective manner that I doubt any other kdrama comes even close. The fact that this is such an outlier in the cookie cutter world of kdrama might be the reason behind it's low ratings. In being so different, it may have alienated some of the typical audience members for this type of media. But if people aren't hyping this kdrama up to the max, they are making a mistake. This drama is awesome. To those who are skeptical of this show, just watch episode 1 till the end. You won't regret it.Was this review helpful to you?
