Yep, when it aired back in the days XD I only watched three Taiwanese dramas (non-BL) in my life, and these were: Meteor Garden, Mars and Corner with Love. Unfortunately I don't like the sound of the language so I can't stick to Taiwanese dramas T_T

Yes yes, they are together. :)

I still have to watch the last episode, but I don't think I'll change my mind so much with it, therefore... I've seen all HanaDan adaptations from the manga to the anime to all the dramas, and I must say this version has the best cast: every character nailed the role. I was particolarly impressed with Gorya, she maybe screamed a bit too much but she felt more "human" and less "clichè" then the other versions of her character.

I loved Makino and Tsukasa from the japanese version and MatsuJun will forever be "THE" main male lead for me... Bright was more real and tridimensional in his acting, but I think he somehow lacked that "beasty" vibe that MatsuJun delivered with even a single look.

This Thai version was great in music, filming, acting, but the thing I loved the most was how relatable the friendship of F4 was: it felt real, layered, supportive, fun, deep... I would be a happy person having friends like them!

And finally: Ren had so much more chemistry with the female lead then Thyme, I honestly rooted for him from start to finish. it was the first time it happened while watching all the HanaDan versions... and kudos to Dew because I really loved his way of portraying Ren/Rui, he started well but then got even better to the finish line.

HanaDan will forever be my favourite, but this version managed to use a trite/clichèed/overheard story and plot and make it fun, despite us knowing exactly how it would end.

I agree! He's actually pulling it off pretty well, but his looks are too naive and cute and fragile to be 100% credible.

I was rewatching this in a spare-time moment, and I must say this 1-min series has more plot than The Tuxedo. XD

This is one of those dramas that fans watch as a token of sacrifice for a ship XD

<-- praying for Chap&Green to get a better screenplay and direction next time XD

Aaaaah, great, we got another list of clichèes thrown in the plot in ep6:
1. the bitchy adoptive mother
2. the super hateable half-brother
3. "you will pay for what you've done"
4. the girlfriend
5. jealousy in the form of "what's your relationship to him"
6. "when will you get married?"

I'm not listing the father because we've seen already how shitty he is... and I'm probably missing some more. XD

Still, I can bear 20mins a week of nonsensical plot for the sake of Chap&Green.
...but I really really hope they get a better project next time... both are good actors and their ship works well, it's a pity this drama is so farfetched.

probably he is an exception because they shared something when they both were in the hospital when he was a kid - a transfusion? a transplant (...heart? maybe the beating is not just because of love? XD)?
or maybe it's not that complicated and it's just because of some empathy they shared, the seed of a future love (what is blooming now).

i do agree the SR role is a bit confusing, I love the idea and the contest but I would love to understand more about them...

I think Sichol is meant to be the "comic relief" of the drama, his overacting is filling those gaps in which they can't put accidental kisses or shirtless hotties... XD
It's as if we have a plot which is a flat line, and need some spikes: the spikes are either "flirt" or "nonsense". XD

Honestly I found him to be funny in some scenes, or at least his "nonsense" was a better filler then seeing those terrible flashbacks Nawee had on his childhood, so bad realized and overexaggerated... >_>

Interesting story but the direction, sound and cut are so rough... I love the Soul Reapers' job/guild idea tho', looks intriguing... and Tua's smiling eyes are so cute!
Fingers crossed we get less hospital and more soul reaping in the next episodes...! XD

It's a pity this show is so rushed (the whole "childhood bullying drama" part felt so "too much"...) and so filled with clichès, because the two leads have great vibes together (the size measurement at the pool with Nawee in dark clothes was so entertaining!) and the tailor theme is very interesting, at least it's a new scenario.

So far I'm loving it: easy, funny, with great guys dressed in great clothes. Nothing more than that, and it's ok as long as we keep on having those hot flirts. XD

I just can't stop thinking about the fact that Kang Hui is 31 years old and is acting in a high school drama. XD

Such a cute little treasure, I really hope korean BL industry can go towards this direction! It was very simple yet entertaining: easy story, fun moments, great chemistry, likeable side characters (yeah I fell in love with Yoo Na, she was so cool!), catchy OST, nice kisses and believable dynamics between the two male leads.

Honorable mention to Park Seo Ham, he was so damn cool that he kept me glued to the screen!!

I hated episode 1 when I started the series, but watching episode 12 made me rethink it again and evaluate it as part of the whole story and growth of the characters.
This drama deserves much more than most BLs out there: the plot is simple but feels so real and relatable, great atmospheres and sceneries, nice cast (my only issues were with Fah ^^') talented and goodlooking... and the thing I loved most: it's probably the first thai BL in which I see people COMMUNICATE. I felt it was almost miracolous! XD

Now, THIS would be the occasion for a timejump: please jump to the future and give us a DomeVee sequel! <3

Thank you very much!

Pretty confused by this show, I liked it but it did not amaze me:
-- I loved the body-swapping part and I still have to get why is it considered problematic (it's a fantasy/comedy/fiction drama, so a bit of imagination might be of use? ^^), since the feelings were obvious from the start.
-- Earth was great here, Mix the same, but I really felt like Earth's eyes spoke of love and affection from minute 1 of episode 1 till the very end of the drama. Kudos to Korn!
-- I lacked the chemistry the leads had in other situations, or rather: it felt a bit off, in some scenes they were amazing and in some other scenes they looked like friendly brothers
-- wow wow wow for the sceneries! I'll definitely put the locations on my where-to-go-next list!
-- please tell me they buried the mother at the end of the show?
-- White was so cool here!
-- the story was cute but it was honestly developed in a confused way, with some takes that looked terrible (yes, final bodyswap scene, I'm talking about you...) and some dialogues/acting that could have been way better (also given the fact that the two ML are amazing, especially together)

Got two questions:
-- why can't Win in Lin's body take the holy water from the monks? Women are considered unpure?
-- why do I read in many places that EarthMix risked their life in doing this drama?

I think this well describes how this series was build by intertwining so many lives and proving that everything we do with our existence has a meaning, a weight and connects to others... and also that "everyone" in the crew was equally involved in creating an amazing product - not just "a great BL", but a "great drama".

NM has kept me glued to the screen from week #1 till now and, even though something could have been better, there is NO SERIES that nears perfection like this one.
Top actors, top music, top writing, great story and... yes, I miss this gang already. <3

This episode felt so painful and yet relatable: I think each and every one of us has gone or could go thru a breakdown like Thorn's, and I'm glad the story focused on how he "fell into the hole" and managed to gain back his senses.
His crying was like a breath of fresh air, poor guy he went through so much and basically everyone around him forgot it (and that happens pretty often in life too...).

PS: the last 5 mins of loveydovey conversation felt too long and forced. O_O

PPS: I missed my weekly dose of Dome/Vee! T_T

ahahahaha XDD sorry to disappoint @khadija XD

Soooo I'm Italian and i was shocked while listening to the trailer intro, it took me a couple of minutes to realize it's in italian XD
