its not as bad as how many people are trying to make it look
if you are looking for a serie where both main characters have their own flaws and you are looking for their character development then this is for you, one of the characters is homophobic and they explain later the reason and the trauma he is dealing with, eventually he learns to accept himself ,to accept his sexuality ,so along the way you will see him first denying the truth and being mean that was his way of defending himself even if he was doing it wrong and you will see the character growth with every step he takes.the other main character didnt understand what boundaries mean and its only in the first eps then you see him feeling guilty and having a flashback about how type said "i hate you", their first time sleeping together happened with consent so there was no rape involved so what im saying he got handsy in the first eps what happened in the first eps werent to the point of "no forgiveness" and dont get me wrong of course consent is important, so im glad their first time sleeping with each others and the next times were all with consent ,this show never romanticized non consent ,i just want to say if you want to watch the show you need to have an open mind so if you feel triggered so easily then this is not for you
the story of the serie is really interesting, i loved the fact that its fast paced even tho sometimes i feel like i need to catch a break lol and there is plot twists too , it kept me excited
the most thing that i loved is the chemistry, the chemistry of tharntype is the best i have ever seen in any bl serie and im not saying the other bls dont have chemistries i loved many of them but tharntype's chemistry is on top.
the other best thing that i loved is the character growth, tharntype of ep 1 are not the same of last ep,they are 2 completely different persons and i loved watching their growth, the only issue i have with this serie is lhong, i dont like how he didnt end up in jail because he should be in jail

no story, bunch of side couples, cringy dialogue.just nothing!!
what is that again? i was one of those who wanted to see a s2 but the season was so so ridiculious you could end up sleeping while watching. first it was so so slow there is almost no plot and it was only made for the success of season 1 to promote other couples. yeah because the screen time of side couples was a lot but i wasnt about to complain if it was interesting to watch, guess what? they are always in the same spot, with the cringy dialogue and nothing going on.how was i supposed to enjoy this? almost no events, no cliffhangers, just nothing ..and how type kidnap fiat and tie him? does that even make sense that the one dealing with trauma do that to someone else? i felt like im watching a different show tbh, nothing interesting to watch and i kept pushing myself to check about tharntype story, i ended up skipping many nonsense scenes, scenes that are supposed to end in 1 min they end it in 5 min,just say you have no plot so you just decide to fill it with side couples and still no plot

not bad but season 1 is much better
i will start by saying that this is not bad but .... fighting scenes feel too much unrealistic, id say season 1 had good fight scenes which make the characters look human instead of supernatural, also season 1 was less rushed so i was able to connect with everyone, while this season (s2) is not bad but ,it has unrealistic vibes and the story felt rushed so it felt too short? like its supposed to be made into a s2 and a s3 unstead of this package on one short seasonthe good part of it is obviously the friendships and the acting was good

this should be called our sleep time
unless you are a hardcore shipper of those couples, if not you will feel that its a waste of time... i wonder how long it took them to come up with those scripts, 2 or 5 mins? obviously its rushed, they could take some time to come up with something good but they didnt, barely any creative and any plot, it probably vary from one story to another but no one is really good enough..if you are here for fanservice go on, just dont expect to see a plot, and im not someone who will waste my time watching every 2 eps (1 h 30 mins) watching 2 people just doing fanservice with barely anything going on, no thank you, id rather focus on checking other series there is plenty
i just wish they put some effort in the script, and i did feel that they just depended on the fanbases not on making good content

disappointed
i started watching this show as i heard a lot of good things about it, so watching it i liked ep1-4, a very good start, i even felt emotional watching ep 2 but then what happened in ep 5? the pacing started to feel so out of place,not in a good way imo ...its becoming much over the top and not realistic to the point i started to wonder whats going on? did i open an episode from squid game? did they change the writer haflway or they lost half of the script ? its unfortunate when a show has a great start then eventually it start to feel like you are watching a different show, so disappointed

had potential but it was wasted
the reason why i started watching is because of the high rating in MDL, i should have known to not trust the rating...this serie look like its made in 2000 not in 2022, it feels old and full of clichey, now not gonna lie i liked the first few eps 1-2 , even tho i keep skipping unecessary scenes, later on in the middle it become nonsense, its like going non stop in a circle, i heard it get better in the latest eps but at this point im not in the mood to watch..
if you are looking for something light with barely any plot then go on, you will probably like it, but if you want a plot then nah.
in the first eps it kinda of worked out but barely any plot for how long, and im sorry but i think the character Noey carried the whole show,if it wasnt for him id drop this since ep 1, i didnt care about all side characters and i didnt care about Thi too, i only liked Noey because his character is interesting , Thi's character is so ... i cant with a ML character who is always in life crisis, always into panic mood all the time, i find the too much over exaggerations and overreactions a turn off, he is probably the reason of why im dropping this, the other reason is the plot...

at least i tried
i tried really hard for this one, i rarely watch a show that i get so far into (like ep 9) then i drop, i usually just decide to continue as its nearer the end but i'am stuck on ep 10 (even tho it was on hold for a period of time) , i guess its just not really working..first i want to mention that visually its good, like the places,costumes etc its beautiful, the acting is also ok, but what happened to the plot? there is a high budget so how come the script is this bad?
ngl, i loved the first 2 eps i was hooked and excited, but from ep 3 and the rest it kept getting worse, the plot is so slow and its just focusing on the wrong things, if you have seen the comments you would see many frustrated people , the main reason is that this series did really have potential to be great but it didnt

well done
"At 25:00 in Akasaka Season 2" spin-off , this is well done. its short but has good content, and they did well in showing the chemistry of the couple, kinda wanted them to expand it for those 2 as a real couple instead and for them to have their own season.i do recommend especially if you want to watch something quick and cute

dont even hesitate
i love this one, often when i watch series i catch myself thinking, ‘oh no, it’s dragging.’ but this one is the opposite, i cant get enough and i wanted more, i especially wish we could’ve seen more of the mls’ relationship and dating moments, the actors have done a great job, they have good chemistry, while the plot is interesting to watch.Fujibayashi deserves a special mention as he portrayed two completely different characters (Enaga and AE), both characters give different vibes ,Enaga give cute introvert shy vibe, while AE give extrovert, hot vibes. the contrast was well done.
i highly recommend this one, its something different and interesting

better than season 2 but ..
when you see the rating, comments, reviews its obvious that many people are angry, this series indeed has it own flaws thats for sure but i find it better than season 2 , there is entertainment , games and didnt feel like a filler seasonits just my opinion but comparing this season to season 2 : season 2 felt like just a preparation for season 3 , what could have been better is if they combined both seasons in one season instead
now talking about season 3: * major spoilers*
what i didnt like: questionable behaviors, like im ok with a bit of super hero behaviors but saving a baby (that is not even related to you, nor you had spent huge time with him) over your own son? it felt so forced super herotic act, like why a lot of characters are either so all about sacrifices or fully evil, characters dont need to be fully good or fully bad and that there is no in btw,
and how easy it is to give birth in that place?
this season ended with nothing getting solved, Seong Gi Hu talked about revenge in season 2 but this whole season there is no fire no flame no revenge he was just trying to save the baby and then he decided to s**cide , could have been better if at least some criminals got caught for investigation, or made it in a way that he was able to live and to take care of his daughter and the new born baby and getting therapy with all that money, at least the ending would be satisfating, he said he is a bad father but he could try to make up for it , Hwang Jun Ho was looking for his brother but went back home like nothing happened, they killed most important characters so early in early eps too, also the vips are just... not it,
and they are hinting at an USA version?
what i liked: the games were okay and interesting, i liked some characters and stayed until the end to see what happen to every character, the first part of the show (early eps) are interesting and good, the other eps could have been better, flaws in the plot are obvious but its watchable
