Trigger is a thriller that makes you think about justice and taking the law into your own hands. It has a unique story, strong emotions, and great action scenes. Kim Nam Gil’s action performance is a highlight. Some parts feel slow or unrealistic, especially near the end. But overall, the show leaves a strong impression.
question if both sisters knew that this gender swap happened before on their mothers family side (that’s why…
If you noticed, the elder sister had already said, Even if we cant imagine something like this, lets get a tattoo as proof. Imean, who would actually believe such a bizarre curse, that their mother once turned into a man and that this curse gets passed down through generations?? They got the tattoos as a precaution, just in case the unimaginable happened. But deep down, they never truly believed in it, it just sounded too absurd. Even if we assume both sisters entertained the idea of one day turning into a man, imagine how shocking it would be: one day, a man suddenly wakes up in your sister’s place, wearing her clothes and acting like her. Of course no one would believe it without proof. Thats exactly why they got the tattoos, to prove their identity if the curse ever became real. So, the elder sister’s reaction was completely understandable. Forget the elder sister, even Jieun struggled to accept that she had actually turned into a man. Imean, who wouldnt?? The whole thing is as absurd as it sounds.
There is been a lot of debate about whether this show is BL or not but based on whatever i saw in the first two episodes, it really doesnt give off any BL vibes. The two MLs definitely have amazing chemistry, more than the ML has with the FL but it still doesnt feel like a BL. It genuinely feels like Jihoon is Jieun, and even the close, intimate moments between Jihoon and Yunjae dont come across as romantic between two men. Whether its the actor's performance or the writer’s intent, they have done a great job making it believable that this isnt a gay romance, despite the gender swap and romantic plotline.
This drama is such a fun watch. E2 was even better than the first. Its hilarious how every girl is swooning over Jihun, from Jieun’s bestfriend to even Yunjae’s sister lol. The scene where Jieun’s bestie flirted with him, fully knowing he is actually Jieun, was especially funny.
I also find most of the supporting characters surprisingly likable. They dont feel annoying at all, instead, they are actually entertaining. Whether its Jieun’s sister, her bestfriend, her parents, Yunjae’s junior or his sister. I havent skipped a single scene so far, which is rare for shows like this. Yunjae’s junior was been really fun to watch in E2.
Main concept is quite similar to A Good Day to Be a Dog, with the whole generational curse passed down through the maternal bloodline that turns FL into an animal or man. Its a shared theme, but beyond that, everything else is different. This drama has its own unique flavor and charm.
I really enjoyed E1, it was cute, cliched and funny. Although its a low budget drama that gives off the vibe of a korean short web series but it was actually entertaining as a light, timepass watch.
The male version of Jieun (Jihun) was especially fun to watch, he actually had better chemistry with the ML than the female Jieun did. Also Jieun might just be the first girlfriend in a romance drama to get punched by her own boyfriend lol.
LMAO not you still crying in the comments after getting blocked, thats some next level desperation, @DUMMY_sneh. You claim you gave me a taste of my own medicine, but sweetie, all you did was embarrass yourself and get kicked out like spam. The fact that you are STILL talking about me, untagged, trying to bait attention, just proves how obsessed and bitter you are. And that "you’d write worse if given a chance" line?? Girl, coming from a nobody with zero credibility and burner energy, its hilarious. You couldnt even write a coherent insult, let alone a script. Stay mad, stay irrelevant and maybe next time, pick a fight where you dont get dragged and blocked like the trash you type.
I understand your POV, but what I don’t understand is you writing this much epistle for a drama you allegedly…
Not you writing a whole essay about how unbothered you are 💀. For someone who has better things to do, you sure show up every time your favorite drama gets a scratch. Obviously, those better things include logging in and out of your main and burner accounts just to keep the argument alive while hiding behind a fake face. Must be exhausting running a full time defense campaign for mid content. And trust me, if i wanted smoke, i wouldnt be asking a sock account who treats MDL debates like a personality trait.
I understand your POV, but what I don’t understand is you writing this much epistle for a drama you allegedly…
Didnt expect you to read it anyway. Comprehension isnt really your strong suit, is it?? Stick to one liners, thats about the limit of your intellectual bandwidth.
I understand your POV, but what I don’t understand is you writing this much epistle for a drama you allegedly…
Yes i watched it till the end, do you have a problem with that?? I chose to watch it, and even if i wasted my time, its my time, so why do you care?? Isnt this platform meant for discussing dramas?? I did discuss or rather criticize, the drama and all my comments were strictly about the drama itself. This platform gives me the freedom to express my opinion, whether it's positive or negative.
Now lets talk about you. Why are you making it personal by targeting me?? Isnt this space meant for drama discussion, not for throwing personal remarks?? If you dont like my comment, just ignore it or block me. Whats with this unnecessary attitude??
And coming to your point about me criticizing the drama, actors or the crew’s hard work, yes, i did. Even if im not from the same industry, even if i cant act or write stories, i still have the right to criticize or appreciate based on my viewing experience. I work in the corporate world and if a client is dissatisfied with my work, they have every right to criticize me too. Thats how criticism works, you dont need to be an expert in a field to have an opinion on it.
As a viewer who watched 16+ hours of their content, invested timenand even paid for OTT platforms like Prime to watch the series, i absolutely have the right to express my disappointment. And yes, i did so by my own choice. You got a problem with that?? Then get lost. I didnt ask you to read my review, nor are you paying me for it. So kindly, back off.
Good Boy is hands down the worst weekend drama i have watched in 2025. There is no logic, no compelling story, just pure dragfest and torture p0rn at its finest.
Its literally just the ML getting brutally beaten in every single episode, only to rise again, fight the villain and get beaten to a pulp all over again. If even 1% of this show had logic, he would have died back in E8. But clearly, the only intent was to numb the viewers by showing the hero suffer endlessly, until we stop feeling anything for him.
The villain?? A joke. Supposed to be all powerful but with zero backstory or explanation for his rise. And lets be honest, Oh Jung Se was horribly miscast. He lacked the presence, menace or performance to make the character intimidating. On paper, he might sound scary but in execution, it was flat and forgettable.
The romance?? Absolutely lifeless. Kim Sohyun had zero chemistry with either ML, Park Bogum or Lee Sangyi. Ironically, Bogum and Sangyi had more believable chemistry with each other than with her.
Even the supporting team was a mess. Their attempts at comedy fell flat every time, making scenes feel even more awkward.
The good thing about IMDB is that they have a special algorithm that prevents review bombing as much as possible,…
Moreover IMDb isnt really a fan based platform, its not centered around fan-to-fan discussions, so the ratings tend to be more genuine. People usually don’t bother downvoting a drama unless there is a significant controversy, like the cultural misrepresentation of the Saudi prince in King the Land or the Palestine-Israel issue briefly shown in the final episode when the phone rings.
Not only chinese ones, even korean and japanese BLs have also seen significant drop, love for love sake dropped…
Tbh homophobic people really dont care about BLs. You will hardly see any comments from them unless a show is a BL turned into bromance, only then do they make a few remarks.
This manipulation is mostly done by one section of BL fans targeting another, usually out of insecurity or competition. IFYLIA is the only exception among Thai BLs, whereas most other Thai BLs remain stable. But thats not the case for BLs from other countries and this isnt a recent issue, they have been doing this for years.
That Taiwanese BL didnt dropped its ratings mostly because no one noticed they had high ratings. From Thailand only I Feel You Linger in the Air dropped, whereas all other Thai BLs have remained stable. So thats the only exception otherwise, all Thai BLs are stable while many Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese BLs have been downvoted by Thai BL fans.
Not only chinese ones, even korean and japanese BLs have also seen significant drop, love for love sake dropped…
I think you can raise a complaint here with a proper explanation (like what exactly happened) and once people start upvoting it, your complaint will automatically be seen by the mods and they usually try to fix the issue.
A few months ago, i noticed some people had their reviews at the top of every page due to upvotes from bot accounts. So i raised a proper complaint here and they actually deleted many of those bot accounts. Most of the top reviews suddenly dropped because they had been boosted by bots.
When you post your complaint, just share the link here and ask everyone to upvote it.
Not only Revenged Love, but all relatively popular BL dramas from mainland China in recent years have seen their…
Not only chinese ones, even korean and japanese BLs have also seen significant drop, love for love sake dropped from 8.7 to 8.4, Our Youth Dropped from 8.9-8.5 whereas most of highest rated thai bls are stable except only one. So you can guess who is doing this.
Wow, they devalued Our Youth too? That's bad. I would have thought with RL that the devaluation was also due to…
One more thing i would like to add about Business As Usual is that i think it remained underrated and one of the reasons was its very low budget production. Otherwise, the acting and chemistry between both MLs were really good.
Also if they had included the special episode in the main drama profile, i think the ratings could have at least reached 7.5-7.8, because the special episode was significantly better.
There was another KBL airing at the same time named Something's Not Right but it was quite frustrating so i preferred Business As Usual over that one.
Wow, they devalued Our Youth too? That's bad. I would have thought with RL that the devaluation was also due to…
Yeah, i remember The On1y One also reached around 8.7, i think, and then the drop started happening suddenly. I knew Thai fans were behind it because they do this with every popular non Thai BL. I was really hoping The Only One would reach 8.8-8.9 as its final rating, but that never happened. Even Love in the Big City also saw a big drop recently. When it aired and dropped all episodes, its rating was around 8.6-8.7 and i thought maybe it would reach 8.8 but that didn’lt happen either.
I dont know how Our Youth and Love for Love’s Sake actually escaped their clutches and maintained high ratings like 8.7-8.9 for so long, but again, those Thai fans couldnt tolerate that and downvoted both shows.
Wow, they devalued Our Youth too? That's bad. I would have thought with RL that the devaluation was also due to…
Our Youth, The Only One, and I Told Sunset About You are also among my top favorites. I have watched We Best Love (both seasons), I liked it but its not my top favorite Taiwanese BL. HIStory 3: Trapped is another one of my top favorites from Taiwan.
I didnt dare to watch Memoir of Rati because i had a very bad impression of the actors from their previous drama, which had a doctor/boxer theme (I forgot the name). They were really bad in that and the plot was so childish so i never dared to try their next show Memoir of Rati.
I have also watched all the other BLs you mentioned. Ballboy Tactics and Business As Usual are my recent favorite KBLs. I had already read the manhwa versions before they aired. (Ballboy Tactics is still an ongoing manhwa though.)
As for DNA Says I Love You, I have watched it but i didnt remember the story until i read the synopsis again, yeah that was quite a unique story.
And yeah i also loved Futtara Doshaburi. I think the topic it handled was a really sensitive one, the lack of sex in a relationship. And instead of making anyone a villain (like the ML’s girlfriend or the MC’s boyfriend), they portrayed every character with depth. Its one of those dramas where you cant really decide whether cheating on their partners was right or wrong, it makes you deeply reflect on the issue.
Yeah, our tastes definitely match a lot. You should watch Unknown and GEL Boys, you will definitely like them. Btw there is one more JBL that is actually my most favorite: Happy of the End. I cant even call it a BL, it feels more like a queer drama. It tackled the very sensitive issue of male prostitution in Japan and the show was really brutal and cruel to its protagonists.
Btw im also currently watching two JBLs, 10 Things to Do Before Im 40 & Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite and Im loving both the dramas.
