Not the worst BL every
It was entertaining. All of the boys were likeable in their own way. I could have done without out Aunt Dora or she could have been a real woman or a more likeable trans or female impersonator whatever she was. Anyway, The scripts was probably the weakest part...not enough words or scenes that made sense. The cinematography was bad too...lighting, flys and bugs everywhere. People walking in the background and cars going by being loud, etc. There was way too much crying in the finale. Not enough acting and dialogue. All in all it is worth the watch hence selections are thin now. It could have been better with better direction and better scripting.Was this review helpful to you?
Great starter series
So I'm a big Am Anusorn fan from Present Perfect/Still. I did get to exchange some emails with him (Am A.) during the beginning of the Pandemic and I can tell you he is an awesome human being. A great guy for sure.Ok so BL series are still new for Am but he is catching on fast with his own style. So the above statement makes more sense thinking about the subject matter right! I know this all came from the heart. Though I was glad that Bas (Michael) got his due in the last episode but it seemed like we left James and Ait in bed together half way through the episode which not ok. Yes leaving them in bed together is ok but not half way thru the episode. Anyway, So it follows that Bas (Michael) is the unsung hero/best actor of the series with best actor/actor going to James (Time) of course he is actually playing Am right?
So who was this story really about. I think it's a combination of 3 BL series with parts of all in it. I'm right? Anyone dare to guess? Message me and I'll tell you what I think.
Definitely some new textures in this BL that I would love to see Am Anusorn do more. Wanting more is a good thing so let's have it!

Genuine and sincere
so this one is not the highest production but hey it's a pandemic time and who knows what effects that had on the production. The story is sincere and honest and genuine it's all the stuff that dreams are made of and all of the happy ever after stories rolled into a 4 episodes. I wish I knew what the title translated into English. That's about my only negative thing I have to say. Who cares the production seemed not sophisticated and not world class....in addition to the story the actors were just to for real. Very believable even when Akagi was acting crazy. It worked. I am very glad they are having a season 2 yet I knew that or I presumed that Honda had a secret like for Hikawa. I hope they keep the same genuine ans sincere approach in season 2. Best to all involved in this wonderful mini series.Was this review helpful to you?

Good and Disappointing
Disappointed in AE. He cried too much and I liked him better when he was more like a guy and not like a girl. Sorry. Just my opinion. Nothing wrong with a gay guy looking and acting like a guy like he did in season 1 . It does happen in real life. The best was the ending with Tin resolving his childhood trauma. Good surprise value and good writing. Can (Plan) was better in season 1. More genuine and believable. Not enough of other characters it was like they were cameos. Just dumfounded that the ending scene was him getting a text from I can't even remember his name, so like...who cares??? This is total case where the out side drama effected my opinion of the story. Be careful guys. Don't air out your dirty laundry in publics.Was this review helpful to you?
Shorts are too short...
Shorts are too short...When i like them!To me the story was top notch. I should also say that I have issues with giving shorts a 10 even if I think it is all round top notch. It is a conundrum, that I punish a short for being short because I wanted more time with the story, and the characters. However, with this series I believe the delivery was inconsistent. Both in story and character delivery. (Ok say something nice)
I really liked the secondary characters. Especially the CEO.
With the leads I feel that Shin KT actually felt more for Wan, even though the story line tries to tell the story to the contrary.
Again, I loved the story. A long and maybe a better fit, but I always say that about shorts I like.

I wanted to really like this series a lot.
Geez, I wanted to really like this series a lot. I kept thinking that the story is developing something, so I waited for something to happen, and it seems like what happens is usually a bridge to another development. Even the ending is a waiting game.Also, I feel like there were a couple of things that happened that cross the line. Placing something in a drink could be a criminal offense. Even if its soy sauce.
I say I wanted to like this series because of the childhood trauma that Jos Tae experienced. A worthy undertaking for a series to do. I really am going to take issue with the Hickey scene cop-out and the lack of one decent kiss. Kids in high school and college kiss. Even same sex kids. Please don't insult your audience anymore if you (the producers directors etc.) decide to do another BL project.

Very likeable KBL story with some great moments
OK so this was a very very good series with a lot of great high-quality moments. I was disappointed with the ending. I thought the breakup and reconciliation was weak. It could have been a lot better. The resignation and the start of the new business to get out from underneath the dad was a great idea but it also could have been stronger and developed better rather than being a got-Ya surprise at the end. I really loved Ji Ho's character. I think Kim did a great job. Sao Jae I found to be sometimes weak in character when he could have been stronger or more sly. Maybe I want to just say that Sao character was inconsistent for me. I gave it a 9 MDL has it at a 7.9 which is too low in my opinion.Was this review helpful to you?
Ok...yeah just ok for me
I'm late to this party, so maybe it would be better if It came to me one episode each week. I found myself toward the end fast-forwarding occasionally. The main couple had a great story but not fulfilled by the script or acting. Dome and Vee were the most intriguing couple even though the complication was a Yikes! Sean and Aii to left me cold. Maybe others will like it more. Just my opinion. PS I did watch it to the end though. PS that's a good thing so at least the story kept me watching till the end.Was this review helpful to you?

Geez it was good but...
During the airing of this series I posted a few times stating I did not like Marks charcter and Even with his flaws I liked and admired Vee more. To me Mark's passive agressiveness and lack of uncoditional love was not presented in a psoitive manor. His crying because of the compliacations surrounding his feeling for a guy who has a grilfriend was sophmopric at best. What did he expect? Vee was passionate and actually had good charcteristics that the weries tryied to show as an issue. For example when he went to break up with ploy and got beat up and wound up in the hsopital. Mark saw then kssing and ran away and cried. To me defending an exgrilfriend who was being abused is a good quality. Someone who runs away and refusing to talk to someone who defended an ex-GF who got beat up and went to the hspital is not a good person. Seems like they were trying to get the audience to feel sorry for Mark but I fgelt sorry for Vee. why didn;t mark go up to Vee and say I heard you got beat up and were in the hospital, you seem ok...and why are you kissing her you when yuo know she was ceating on you. Anyway, I shouldn't rewrtie the script. Secondary charcters were in and out too much and they should have been develoed more.If it wasn't for Vee I would have dropped this series. Yin is a good actor. In my opinion Vee was way more likeable than Mark. There is apost thalks about how the weries deviated away from the Novel and confused some story lines. It shows.

Slow astart but turned into great BL
I'll agree that this show is underrated. MDL has it as a 7.6. I will rate this as an easy 9.0. I'll admit the series was a bit shacky in the early episodes but it for sure got better. The most obvious is the chemistry between the main couple. Seemed like Kim was just not as believable in portraying his feeling for Mek. Whereas Mek did a great job showing how his feelings for Kim developed evolved and where convincing believable and passionate. Congratulations to Fluk for his portrayal of Mek whom I despised at first and then learned to love him as he developed feelings for Kim. Also, Fluk really can change his appearance. He is really hot looking when his hair is not pulled back. I don't think Kim character did a bad job maybe it was directing him to be more restrained in his presentation. Kim did have his good moments for sure. I absolutely loved the secondary couples. For sure Bear and bomb are my favorites. Great BL series.Was this review helpful to you?

Son's infectious smile is enough to make this a great series. However this is a a very good series and worth while story with very good messages. Filming and scripting is also top notch. Though it doesn't seem like a set up for season 2. I do hope to see Son and Kim in another series. A full series. For a short series this... Updated: there is a Season2. I hope it is as good as this one. I'm not sure reading the epilogues. I'm nervous.

This is a great "short BL series...
This is a great "short BL series...First of all I'm older and from the USA. I think the rating for this series is too low. I don't know why the episodes where only 22-25 minutes each. I wish they were longer. I don't know why there were only 6 episodes. I wish there was more. Jeon as Jeong was just adorable in his character. He made me smile and laugh many times. I believe Jin and Yeon was very strong in his portrayal and he was very believable in the 3 lives that were presented. Jin's crying scene by the broken photo was awesome. Kim, Jung and Song were all very strong in their performance and in characters as scripted. I believe the basic story was great and how it all tied into how they meet up in present time was very cool and appropriate. The flow was good. My only wish was that the episodes were longer and I think they could have gotten 8 episodes easy and even stretched it to 10 to 12. This series is very likeable and is even a good rewatch.Was this review helpful to you?
Almost got it right
I really liked the two main characters. They were both very likeable from a scripting standpoint and an acting standpoint. The chemistry was great even though they were completely different personalities. The storyline was great up until Ep 7. It took a bit to figure out what happened in episodes 7 and 8. We never got an explanation of why somethings happened. Why Jin suddenly stopped being with woo. I'm glad they got back together though. That was also a very weak spot. The older guy was not likeable but not too unlikeable. Again, good scripting and he also did a good job in his role. The father was also a very enjoyable addition to see. A nice touch to the nice feel the entire series had again ep's 1-6 mostly. Also, this could have been a full-length series in my opinion. I hesitate with the last 2 episodes being cut versions of what was filmed. My opinion stands.Was this review helpful to you?
