confusion
i watched the original one but it has been a longtime ago so i dont remember what happened, i thought its something good so that i can enjoy it but guess what, im just confused... i guess this was supposed to be a better version but its not? there is many characters with so little screentime and the execution is so poorly doneWas this review helpful to you?
dark and interesting
this is not a fluffy light bl series, its dark and mention some topics like sexual assault, orders, the past trauma Odajima carries, it doesnt shy away from the darker side of the yakuza world (violence, betrayal, moral grey zones, some character death) while there is moments of softness, of vulnerability, of love ,and a great chemistry between the male leadsWas this review helpful to you?
not bad not great
ngl i didnt enjoy this show that much, maybe because i didnt bing watch it but i was waiting mostly ep by ep and as its a short bl then by the time i watched the final ep i barely remember the details nor did i feel attached to the charactersi guess if you are looking for something short to watch to pass some time then why not, acting looks not bad, there is some good chemistry ,with a simple plot which has misunderstanding btw mls...

how easily you forgive a cheater?
this is a short bl movie, as it is short there wasnt any filler scene, it shows 2 guys in love who end up facing homophobia then the partner cheat ,cry then oops he is forgiven.. sorry but excuse me?i know forgiving a cheater is obviously up to the person who got cheated on, some people forgive while others dont but why make it look so easy? like at least make him try to make up for him ,begging for some days or something... what happened is that he forgave him in the same moment when he confessed that he cheated on him. the name of the movie is "hurt" i guess he felt hurt for 4 mins during the cheating confession then all forgiven and forgotten...

not bad
for a short bl, it had an interesting story , so this is not the case of a short bl that has no storybut because its short the ending was rushed (not explained well)
the good points:
-interesting story
-good chemistry
-good looking actors
my only complaint is that i wish they explained better the ending

i wanted a season 2
first i want to mention that its gore indeed like not light at all ,or at least thats how i felt,this felt more gore than shows like alice in borderland or squid game to me, maybe because of the amount of blood everywhere i had to cover my eyes few times (and because disturbing deaths)i liked watching the games too they looked fun, but the ending hints at another part and thats why i wanted more
whats nice is that i started this one with light expectations, maybe because it was made in 2014 (as its old) but i ended up surprised i find it good
so:
-interesting and entertaining plot
-liked the survival games
-good looking characters
-unpredictable events
- fast paced, suspence story , it doesnt feel like they are wasting time on not important things
if you can handle and watch gore then i highly recommend

Très mignon!
-i find this show cute, light and fluffy-i loved the fast plot, im used to see slow dragging shows so its kind of refreshing
-the show is entertaining , not boring
-great and i will say it again great and great x 10 chemistry
i hope to see the mls again in another bl, i dont know why they kind of remind me of Payu and Rain of "love in the air", i guess maybe the vibe is a bit similar

Had potential, turned out disappointing
I hesitated to write a review for a while, so I took some time to gather my thoughts.This series had potential, but for me it ended up disappointing and it wasn’t for the reason some people assume. It’s not about Doha not ending up with the team leader. Honestly, I would’ve been fine even if he ended up with the barista; that wasn’t the main issue.
What bothered me:
A lot of viewers rooted for the best friend early on because he initially came across as a green flag (not everyone, but many did). But his character kept getting worse and worse. I’m used to seeing characters start off red flag and eventually get character development, especially if they’re meant to be the final couple , but this felt like the opposite. I went from “I don’t mind if they end up together” to “I definitely don’t want them together.”
His behavior turned into ragebait at some point. The non consensual kiss already crossed a boundary , if your friend can’t feel safe being vulnerable around you, that’s a problem, then i thought let's ignore that and move on then he became controlling and aggressive: Doha couldn’t talk to a guy without being lectured, and the best friend even punched someone who did nothing wrong and just because he is jealous. Meanwhile, he walked around acting like he was allowed to do whatever he wanted and that's supposed to be romantic.
When Doha asked for space to think, I was ready to like the best friend again if he respected that. But instead he kept pushing. Someone tells you they need space , especially after that kiss and him feeling confused and your response is to pressure them? at somepoint he is just screaming red flag
I didn't bother watching the last 2 eps , there is no way im going to magically like it or root for them.
As for Doha himself… he looked like a grown man but often acts helpless with the mind of a small kid ,i wish he stand up for himself ,this show could have been so much better

disturbing
this show simply made me feel like im watching a criminal that needs to get caught asap and get thrown in jail. romance/love heals everything? yeah i will not continue to watch to see anything like that. because based on synopsis they are going to be in love ,but whatever they are doing with the abuse its way too much.the pace of the show is also a problem, everytime i watch its like they are stuck in the same place, i kept looking for improvement ,for forward steps but its just slow and the same things continue to happen which is the ml treating the other ml like a punchbag nonstop, now it become full on r*pe, i dont see any appeal in the show its just too much disturbing at this point, i will be rooting for justice in case if it happens, justice being served is not a sad ending to me

a creepy and stalkerish handsome guy
the harassment tho.... a bit of harassment i let it pass but this is constant harassment that i see, everywhere he go he finds him stalking him and the guy will not take a no as an answer, im trying to not think too much about it as its just a serie, its all fun until its a real life situation it become a serious problem then, they choose a handsome actor and make people swoon and ignore the red flags.that scene when they are in the bus he took it too far, he is leaning toward him and putting his hand on his hand on purpose while the other ML clearly doesnt want to be touched he keeps pushing him away, if you are trying to flirt with someone you dont do it like that, not being creepy and non con touching!! thats called sexual harassment/sexual assault depending on what you exactly did.
and he took a picture of him without his consent and then sent it later to him wtf
some people who love this serie feel defensive but its ok for you to acknowledge the flaws of a character but enjoy the serie as well instead of pretending like nothing wrong with the ML because some people are saying he is "only hitting on him" and "its aggressive flirting" wtf? he was clearly crossing his boundaries.. admitting that some things are morally not right is ok, if he was a woman those same people will not be saying those words
another unrealistic thing, how is he harassing his boss without any consequences, i dont get it , usually the person who has power is the one who abuse their power, but this guy is a new employee to work but he is harassing his boss, so weird concept...
the script is obviously bad, really bad, there is so much better plots than this one ,dropped

interesting but the ending could have been better
overall this show is not bad, it reminds me of "to sir ,with love" but i loved "to sir,with love" much more.first of all Sasin is a bit too hot headed, the type of guy who jump to conclusions very quick, doesnt listen to your explanation, say some nasty things but later apologize after calming down and he has a kind heart, if that happen 10000 times thats how it is. he is the type of guy full of passion but has an aggressive attitude in the same time, not necessary something bad but feel frustating at times and a bit too much, then later i go back to liking him..
while Saenkaew is the cute type, pretty and has his own trauma.
in this series there's way too much evil characters which made me want to skip their parts, almost everyone is bad, only very few people are likable, i find it a bit much depressing esp in the latest episodes ,so this might be why i didnt enjoy it as much as i wanted, when i watched to sir with love smh i didnt feel this way.
then there is the ending, not every character need to have a redemption arc, i find both the father and Pin so unlikeable , i coudnt go back to liking Pin after what she did in ep 11 or have sympathy, like my sympathy to her kind of vanished at that ep i was rather much frustrated by her behaviors....
so in general this is a good show to watch, i just wished that few things happened differently

the way this could have been amazing
i remember when i first started this show i was excited. the first eps were actually good, both couples have great chemistry and the acting is good as well but unfortunately the execution of the plot wasn’t well done imo. it’s one of those shows that starts strong then suddenly takes a different direction and you start wondering why.the plot execution is really important, and after ep 7 (Tim’s revelation about the lies and deception) which was supposed to be the peak ep but it didn't, it just didn’t feel like one. they were building it up for many eps but the payoff felt weak. i get that it’s a romcom, but that doesn’t excuse bad writing. serious situations are better when treated seriously. the audience didn’t really get the right amount of angst, and real problems were treated almost like a joke.
Pai has been struggling to even stay mad, and Tim doesn’t seem properly apologetic. lines like “don’t worry i won’t charge you for the meal” or “you’re living in my place for free” just feel off after what he has done… like are we supposed to find that charming? then i check more ep and Pai isn’t as upset as he should be after being betrayed for years, and Tim doesn’t seem as sorry as he should. it's getting brushed off with playful moments instead.
i could honestly rant a lot about how this could have been better based on what Tim and Pai characters could have done. but good for people who enjoyed it. i do love the cast and hope to see them in better directed series in the future. maybe not by New

Just why...
I have 0 tolerance for cheaters. This show is short , 6 eps , 6 mins each , but they really couldn’t come up with something better? I honestly wonder what they expect from the audience. Are we supposed to like the male lead? Are we supposed to support their relationship? Most viewers won’t feel fond of a cheating main character. I think this is the third short bl I have seen with a cheater as the main character, I don't like it...If I ignore this part, the male leads also don't have good chemistry, the plot is weak and not interesting, I don't recommend it

a sinking titanic
dont get me wrong, i do tend to love jbls but this is one exception , i just coudnt finish itit felt like they relied on a famous serie to pick the public interest but they should know that this is not enough, both acting, chemistry and plot werent done well, at least the thai one have the acting and chemistry of the mls to back it up, this one is lacking on every level which explains the rating of this serie
id still rate it 6/10 only because i have seen worse
adaptations dont always backfire, the cherry magic one was good both versions were good and enjoyable to watch, in order for adaptations to do well they need to pick good actors ,for them to have good chemistry and make the story creative and interesting to watch , a bland one will only make people feel asleep and if they can predict almost every little thing because of excessive" copy paste" dialogue from the original one it kills the interest

good quality ,hard work always win
while i understand ep 1 did upset some people ,imo the show is much more than one ep so its better to focus on the whole picture rather than one or two scenes when judging, and the ost? great as well ,this show has everything from romance to comedy , to angsty vibes to happy vibesbut one thing for sure, this series deserves the success it got, overhyped? nope ,they worked hard and it paid off well , they had a dream they made it true, with all the disadvantages they faced by gov etc they continued on and promoted the show well, i'am happy for them
they also picked the right actors for the right roles,if you want something good, refreshing i highly recommend this for you
