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

Skip/ avoid/ i dont recommend
Idk what's the point of this. I watch dark and toxic stories but again whats the point of this one. Too much short so not able to get attached to the characters, full of r*pe, they didn't even dive in the story about why he planned it with the other guy etc.They decided to put p*rn in a form of noncon rather than consensual then they forgot to include the story... What feelings it gave: disturbing, frustration about lack of story, wondering what i have watched and why....

i liked the cast
watching the cast, it was overall enjoyable, but i think that its a shame if Wave and Phupha dont get main lead roles because they were not picked, they are the most attractive in the show and this should not be wasted.maybe they will pair Phupha with James? who knows lol as he was flirting with him ,he obviously wants to act with him.
the part where Otto walked in front of Phupha then walked away saying bye. that was cruel. why they made him do that? for more drama? im happy for the ships that sailed, while i find both Ryujin and North amusing, they made it really feel like they are in a dating show not a couple matching for work XD

it started good then it went downhill
*huge spoilers: only read if you are okay with that*im sorry but what was that ending? i hate it when they shock me in the last mins with something like this, that was kind of abrupt and cruel, like let us make the most drastic ending we can think of, why?
coudnt they simply separate and live their own lives ? as if cheating nonstop wasnt enough already to annoy me, lets kill one of them? maybe change it to a scene of the ml seeking therapy isnt that better?
the only good thing is that the mls had chemistry and also the start of the show wasnt bad and was kind of entertaining in a sense that i didnt see filler scenes nor i felt bored when i was watching, my rating could have been much lower if it wasnt for that

the first real omegaverse
What i loved:-its the first real omegaverse bl : they showed omegaverse properly: heats, ruts, pheromones etc
-good introduction to the omegaverse in the first ep
-interesting and addictive story
-the visuals , mls looking so handsome
-making this bl wasnt easy as its a bl from china, they worked hard and i appreciate that, so i highly recommend people to watch legally and support them
What i disliked:
-rushed ending: about half the final ep
-second cp didnt have a proper ending but at least it hints to a happy ending
i heard it was supposed to be 24 eps which makes sense, but overall it was good
i highly recommend people to watch it and to give the show a lot of love

i wanted to enjoy it
The story had a lot of potential ,the synopsis really caught my attention (I love survival games plots). But unfortunately, the execution didn’t quite work for me. I found the pacing a bit slow, and I had trouble liking any character nor did i feel attached. The dialogue and acting didn’t fully draw me in either, so I ended up distracted , losing focus a few times. I did give it another try, but it still couldn’t hold my attention.That being said, I can see why others might enjoy it ,the concept itself is intriguing, and it definitely has its own style. Just personally, it wasn’t quite my thing

mixed feelings
i had mixed feelings about this serie, many people love this show and i can see why.. this show tackled serious matters, it mention many issues and it feel mature not silly which is something that i really lovedbut what i didnt like at all is, first im not someone who like comedy, i find some comedy funny but most of the time it doesnt, the other thing is that im not really into the plot of this serie so thats the issue, im not into plots about time travel, lose of memory and you having to figure out what happened which is what this serie is about, so thats why i dont find myself enjoying this, at some point i also started to feel bored, not sure if its because it started to be dragging or only because im not into the plot. def its not my cup of tea

good actors but terrible plot
what is this plot about again? there is barely anything going on, what im saying the plot is not interesting at alland i dont feel like forcing myself to watch when im bored asf, this has nothing to do with the actors as they look handsome and i think there is chemistry, the thing is the main thing about a show is the plot so unfortunately even those attractive actors coudnt keep me watching this
this show remind me a bit of tale of 1000 stars (about the place, environment), but 1000 stars is an amazing show that have an actual good plot (someone getting a chance to live again, secrets revealed etc ) ,while this one doesnt have anything going on it doesnt look interesting at all so it just looked like a weak remake of 1000 stars
i did notice this about gmmtv, they give us few good gems (good shows ,good plot) while others are all about romance ,dragging too much and barely any plot is going on
good some people love it, it work out for them, i just dont feel interested when there is no story and nothing is going on, they fill the eps with scenes that have barely anything going on in them

I expected better
Nothing stands out,it’s packed with recycled moments and overused kdrama cliches that make it feel like something you’ve already seen dozen times, just with different actors.I tried watching after seeing many people talk about it and as i like the male lead actor but unfortunately i was disappointed.

there is no respect
the reason for my rating:there is no respect to both the audience and the contestants.
they didnt post all eps, then they took some eps off and only left 2 eps on Youtube.
there is no info about what happened or where they might post it, or where to watch the rest, so they left everyone confused.
so im not bothering to watch, by the way this is a second time that i see something like this did happen, another company did post all eps of a show but didnt post the final ep, and thats so cruel to the audience who wanted to know so badly about what happened in the final ep they just gave promise to release it and they never did, now going back to talk about this show i dont appreciate the confusion, them not being clear about what happened and giving an unfinished show
