Truthfully, aside from being boring (Most of the episodes)… This production (Whatever the hell it is…) is confusing as hell. It is not quite a romcom, not quite a drama nor a supernatural thriller. It is so darned confusing. Like, they could not decide on one specific genre so they used the whole kitchen. The ML (Although Gorgeous), his character is not really likable. Spellbound or no spellbound, I can’t fully justify his actions. The FL (Loved that actress in “Forest”), but not really liking her character in this production. Using a love spell to get someone to love you… It is utterly F$$$U$, in no matter the era. Literally, no one questioned her actions.
Anyway… If I fast forward even more that I am already doing, I will be watching episode 16 before its release.
Watch it! You won’t regret it. The only thing you will regret is this long break between the first part and…
To That… I fully agree. Namkoong Min’s character, Lee Jang Hyun, is beyond well executed. I could say… This is one of his best ones but the man has so many of them… I’ll just say; among all of his other characters’ portrayals (Protagonist/anti-protagonist/villain/shady/in-between)… - Sageuk✅ As for the rest of the production, I am entertained but I am most definitely not blown away.
As much as I love Jang Hyuk… And absolutely everything’s Jang Hyuk… This drama is not working for me. I understand that they were trying to integrate 2 genres together (Family comedy and dark thriller). However, the wrong montage between the 2 are way too grand. I find myself wishing for a full blown dark thriller, instead of this confusing mix.
FYI: Also, I am having a very hard time sensing any sort of chemistry between the 2 main leads, aka Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith. In my long history of watching Jang Hyuk, this is my second time dropping a project from him; right after “Wok of Love.”
“Why R U?” the original Thai version is one of my top favorite Thai BL series, right after “I Told Sunset About You” and “SOTUS.” Therefore, maybe I am extremely biased… But, I am not feeling this inspired Korean version. I will continue on watching it but it is not doing absolutely anything to capture my full attention.
Cha Seung Won is like Kim Soo-hyun… No matter how hard they try to dress them down; they both simply can’t hide their star charisma/power.
FYI: I thought that Nam Da Reum was away doing his military service for the next 2 years. Apparently, he completed this movie right before he enlisted… Hence, his unusual military hair cut.
Some dramas, whether good or bad… You just want the drama to be over. Then, we have a very small number like “Moorim School…” Where 16 episodes are just not enough. We simply want more. Not because it ends on the “Asian usual cliffhanger’s format.” NO! We simply want more storyline, we want to spend more time with the characters and basically, we don’t want the drama to be over.

This is one of the best BLs of 2023! So Sweet, heartfelt and adorable! The leads have such a beautiful chemistry.…
This BL series had a HIStory back in the days’ vibe about it. In fact, I actually went to confirm that it was not a HIStory’s production after i finished the first episode. Now, their series have lost the great shine and attraction that they used to have, up to “Make Our Days Count.”
This BL series definitely had that vibe. Very good watch.
can some1 summarize the last 2 eps for me? I skimmed through them and read some spoilers but looks like the sis…
Yes. He was kept in the dark about the ritual will transfer his ability of hearing ghosts onto his boyfriend (Technically, husband… Following the ritual’s folkloric explanation). So now, only JC can hear the ghosts and Buxia’s dead grandfather ghost is trying to reach him with an urgent message.
Another good BL series from Taiwan. Keep it up! Taiwan and Korea are killing it in BL genres. At least, most of the good ones are only coming from them.
This is actually not the remake of it but inspired for some parts only as the writer points out
Obviously not. Our senior citizens have more than enough leisure time for those sorts of recreation. Therefore, please enjoy your recreation. Well deserved.

67 years old… You said. Hmmmmmm… I find this as much as interesting as this Sageuk. Go ahead. I have acquired enough wisdom so far to understand that I should not offend my elders.

There is absolutely no flow in this thing🤣
I say; engage it like entering a labyrinth.
The probability of getting lost is 1000/1000.

However, I certainly can vouch for “Song of the Bandits…”
These 9 episodes are very darned well executed.
Any info on the release for a part 2?
This should be an 8.8 or a 9.0 rating.
I place it on the same caliber as “Mr. Sunshine.”
I fully agree.
Namkoong Min’s character,
Lee Jang Hyun, is beyond well executed. I could say… This is one of his best ones but the man has so many of them…

Hence, why we all want a second season.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Good job!
Keep it up!

Now…
May we have a second season… Please?
Why the rating is so low here?
It is a darned good Korean BL.
And we have Ki Hyun Woo who is hotter than hot steam in it.
What not to like…?
I really hope NOT.
