Connection of Mom with her children
One of the finest Korean historical series I ever watched. this drama is all about mom protecting her children no matter what and making her children better prince through education. there is only few series which are made representing the women of ancient Korean history and it is one of them.fight with in-laws and concubine to make their children future king of Joseon and making queen their relatives to gain power. Maybe first historical drama which represented LGBTQ(cross dresser) community in main stream television. actually it shows history of women of ancient Korea, how women try to gain power, or win favor of king, and who is behind the actual power.
Kim Hye-soo as Queen Im Hwa-ryeong is the best part in whole series. In terms of acting Kim Hye-soo is chameleon, she can rule any role whether it is lawyer or thief or police. she is like Meryl Streep of Korea. other supporting character are also perfect in their role. story is great. direction is great. diversity in character is fucking great. everything is fucking awesome in this series. It is totally worthy for your time.

Sometimes revenge is an imperative commodity in this cruel world
In the real world, there is law, police, and a justice system, but do these things always bring justice? Definitely not. If we look more deeply, then we can see foul play, politics, power, and money to cover the truth. Poor people never get justice, and rich people destroy justice and truth using power and money. Maybe power and money can cover the truth in court, but in reality, people are desperate for revenge. As a result, we've seen a lot of true revenge stories. One thing: don't take revenge; you should leave it to the system or karma. Nowadays, I prefer the Korean revenge genre (Reborn rich, taxi driver, Vincenzo, iljiame, married world, yong pal).To be honest, revenge stories are one of the most comforting genres.This is the story of Ji Soo-Heon, a 19-year-old boy who began taking revenge on bullies after learning that he would die, and Ok Chan-mi, who came to this school to learn the truth about her twin brother's death. Later, they joined hands to take revenge, and one after another, other people also started to join them to take revenge. Actually, revenge stories provide emotional comfort. When they beat their bully, you feel like you are in heaven. One of the most satisfying moments was when Ok Chan Mi beat Kuk Ji-Hyeon. This series is about vengeance, but you can see a teenager's pain through friendship, support, and hints of romance. Ragging and depression are extremely common in today's youth. Maybe this kind of series can give them comfort in a positive way. This series' subject matter and theme are exceptional.
Lomon has really become a good actor; when I saw him in "Sweet Revenge," I felt like I hoped he would not disappear, but now he is killing the OTT platform with back-to-back hit series. This serious role is really made for him. Shin Ye-Eun doesn't leave either. Every actor is perfect for their role. Is everyone being fair? Do they take revenge or live it up to the system? Does the story of Ji Soo-Heon and Ok Chan-mi have a happy ending? You can satisfy your curiosity by watching a series. Trust me, you won't regret watching this series. You will feel angry, happy, sad, and desperate while watching this series. It makes you feel like you want to take revenge on yourself.
Perfect series with a great cast and a fucking amazing story. Highly recommended.

Fair enough
Usually i prefer lots of kiss scene and few sex scene when comes to any series. This bl drama is simple and sweet but not according to my expectations. A guy name choi came suddenly as competitors for yoon do gun. At first it says he is very famous and abroad garduate topper students but u will know slowly, they starts with head up and end ups getting together. At first it was great in the middle suddenly get into on thing their romance. I wish u they could have shown little more about their fight and love.After some point story again came back to the track, deceit, love, romance you can see everything. This simple love story gives u hopes of love. If u reality then obviously bl drama gives of some hop but when reality hits u, u feel lik these drama are just,it rarely happens that next competitor is also gay and u feel in love with that guy. But somehow u want to feel this type of romance. Thanks to maker who created simple yet beautiful love story.
Interms of story i will say they are good except slightly and sudden change in the middle, foe suddenly changed to curious, otherswise overall i can say good story in korean bl series after few misses. Interms of acting they are good enough. Handsome boys with emotion and good enough acting makes u feel they are real. Especially i like the emotion display of yoon do gun, you can read his eyes what he is feeling, i can see his acting talent. Interms of music, direction, cinematography everything is good.
I can say overall this drama is worthy to watch. This simple yet sweet drama will give some hopes of love from around you. Binge worthy

Confusing one still good enough
The first thing you should know is that it's very confusing at first due to the lack of clarification. You won't even know what's going on. Jun Woo is crying and asking, "What can I do? I messed up everything." Jung Hyun is standing by him. I had no idea what was his mess. I thought Jung Woo killed someone, but it was the opposite. He speaks against corruption, and he is completely boycotted by the entire association. Thank God I read the synopsis to get clarification on this confusing situation.Things I liked
Thank goodness the writer moved on from the handsome and popular guys from university and fell in love at first sight with a guy. Even if the situation is perplexing, you can find solace in the middle of the series. One thing I appreciate is that Maker attempted to show some of the darker aspects of the literary world. How powerful people can destroy weak people. There is depth of emotion, struggle, sadness, and unhappiness. I like Leo's portrayal of the possessive one because I've seen guys like him in real life; they'll do anything to put someone in a cage they've built even if there's love. And who will Jun Woo pick? This part will keep you on your toes. Is he going to go with the supportive one or the possessive with one?
There are lots of factors that they need to address. The series must begin with proper clarification, or the audience will be kept in suspense until the very end. You feel irritated by the possessiveness of Leo. Overall, it isn't the best or the worst. You can watch if you want.

You will be single if you are not good looking
Moral of the story : handsome face is everything in gay community, except Jeon Eun Chan everyone fell for handsome, unfriendly, cold hearted and introverted Kim Chang Min. Kim Chang Min got call/letter from 6 guys for than twice this is the prefect example how much beauty hold power in gay world. One thing I like about Kim Chang Min and Lee Jeong Hyun is that they are really fix with one guy no matter what, maybe the guy he want never rejected him like other did or because Kim Chang Min likes twink.Show starts with 6 guys then two guys join later. Another thing I like about this show is that they just help to introduce each other and no fight like in other reality show. I was already tired watching other dating reality show where people fight and dish each other all time. Thank god this series is exceptional one. and makers left contestants whether they will date or not in future its up to them unlike in other show where makers force their contestant to be couple and fight to increase viewers. contestants come with different background with different emotional trauma and struggle. this shows try to show dark side as well. when Hokeep share that his father regret marry8ing his mother because he had gay son was the most touchable moment. over the time they start to know other people and started to grow feeling for them even though they didn't reciprocate that feeling. But it is really work like that. you can feel for someone and later change your heart in 6 days.
Tbh at starting I didn't like Lee Jeong Hyun but they way he open himself, try be friend with everyone and make laugh everyone they i started to support him and Kim Chang Min. One of the fav moment in this show is when Kim Chang Min confess that he want choose room with Lee Jeong Hyun but he didn't choose because he thought Lee Jeong Hyun wanted single room. in other aspect this show is good enough. you can choose if you like some. if you get lucky you can get date with your crush. you can enjoy this gay dating show of Korea. But truth will hit hard hard. if your not good looking or extra then you wont get anyone. you will be single if you are not good looking. Enjoy

Great WWE between siblings of wealthy family
"Poor people fight for food and money; rich people fight for the throne and power."1)Song Joong-ki is nearly 40 years old, and the creators are using CGI and VFX to make him appear to be 20. Does this mean a 40-year-old man will play a high school student if he can play a 20-year-old college student? What can I say about this?
2) is it really about righteous?? because he wants to buy Ajin motors because his dad works there, he want know about lab science coz mom from previous life loss money and committed suicide. Tbh actually he want to take revenge for his parents and why they killed him. meanwhile he is talking about righteous then he should have bought every other company to save the workers, he didn't care about Hando steel and their workers as well. But he is so selfish he didn't care about other company yet he believe in righteous
A mere guy with no background went on to become manager of a top company, but he doesn't get any respect despite his hard work. still do his work, from fixing toilets to managing a branch of the company. Nobody supports him when his peers disparage him. He discovered something one day and reported it to the new chairman, who sent him abroad on business. But he is murdered, and it is unclear why this could happen to a second- or third-generation member of the Soonyang family. Here comes the twist: this time he was born as the grandson of the founder of Soonyang Group. The times go way back. The real story now begins. Every member of the Soonyang family is suspect. This is only about the first episode; for the rest, you'll have to watch the series to find out what happens.
The story is the foundation of the film and series. In this case, the author has done an decent job even though this series have all elements, such as thriller, suspense, family war, inside stories of conglomerate families, power struggles, and many more still fucking twat is binded by selfishness about his parents only not about other millions public. I have seen brothers fighting for wealth from an ultra-rich family in court, but we never get the real story of wealthy families, and you can imagine this and enjoy it. This story provides a realistic view of a wealthy family. What is there to say about Song Joong Ki? He is a gem of Hallyu cinema. His dramas are always fucking good. Still, I didn't like the way they made him young. In terms of other aspects, this drama is good enough to watch. This drama takes me back to the 1980s, an era I'd rather be a part of than the current generation X.
My personal opinion about the story of this drama
I'm not sure why I think this drama is inspired by the Samsung Group. So many realities and characters are shared by members of the Samsung Group's family. We may not have the inside scoop, but we can use the disclaimer to create a series. Even though the founder of Samsung Group began his business with distribution, as depicted in the series, the founder of Soonyang Group began his business with trucking. One of the Samsung Group members was married to the well-known Korean actress Go Hyung Jung. Park Ji Hyun, an actress, appears to be the hotel's oldest daughter, or CEO, and the daughter of chairman Lee Kun-hee. Damn, I have a gut feeling that this series is an unofficial biography series based on the Samsung Group with a revenge twist.

How long we are going watch same content?
To be honest, how long are we going to watch same content in the BL world? When are the BL writers going to stop writing about the same theme? When are we going to see a more realistic portrayal? Fantasy is great, but how come fantasy can always work? same content: popular, handsome, rich university guy, club, falling in love, Actually, 2gether was the last one I enjoyed, but after that, I started to dislike whichever BL series I tried to watch because they had some content, and I left them on the first episode. It took me one hour to complete this series.When will there be more series with lots of romance and sex scenes, like Manner of Death, Triage, and Doctor I Am Coming for Your Soul? Even after the success of Kinnporshce, we are getting more series with a similar theme. But Kinnporsche was the last and only BL series I watched with a gangster theme. I'm not sure if I'll watch any more with a gangster theme. While watching these kinds of BL series, I always question: where is the realistic portrayal? TBH, there were only two gays in my college, and how can everyone be gay in your friend circle in the BL series, especially at your university? This isn't even a gay club that each and every one is gay, and only few people are gay at your university. There are 100 genres and themes from which writer can choose a screenplay, but they are limited to one theme. The only theme I like about this series is that they are living together to get to know each other better before going into relationships.
A rich and handsome guy came back from Canada and fell in love at first sight. He tried every cheap method to make him fall in love with him. The story is totally predictable; nothing is new. I'm not going to say anything about the plot or the acting because it's a typical BL story with no spark. Ai already told he have sister but later Nhai doesn't even remember like seriously. dialogue is mess. Globally, the genre of movies and series has advanced, but why do BL series continue to feature the same content? They should try to make a BL series out of webtoons, manga, and manhwa. Actually, Webtoon and Manhwa have a far fucking better story than the current BL series. Too much sugar is bad for your health. So, with the same content since 2010, how can people keep watching the same story over and over? Despite this, these series are more popular than Triage or Manner of Death.
Watch at your own risk, I gave one star because they try to live together before getting into relationship. will not recommend this series at all.

Shoddy and chagrin ending
Since when korea started produce such lamentable BL series, starts with promising outcome but ends with biggest disaster. First 3 episode were good enough but last those 5 episode gives u headache. A boys leaves his home to make better future, suddenly meet a guy with whom he fall for that guy. A triangle love story without proper script.Idk what is bl series to others but i want bl series with lots of deep main and side story with lots of romance. This basic story have nothing not even a proper romance. Anyone can guess whats going to happen. Leave romance u cannot even feel bromance between lead character, they don't have any connection which makes us feel they are couple. We can't even feel where the story is going, how this is going end, such a shabby story.
Even though u can't feel the connection between couple in terms of acting they are average, seriously second male lead have better facial expressions than lead actor. Nothing is good. Only good point is cinematography. Shabby story, expression less acting and boring disaster ending. I don't even want to remember this series.
I can say this is total disappointment from my side. After watching light on me I can't feel any other korean bl series going to take that legacy of light on me. Seriously we need different kind of serious story if anyone want to make bl series.

Don't have high expectation
With their charismatic and charming appearances, China's two biggest stars set unrealistic expectations, but when they don't meet your expectations, it can kill your mood. When I heard the lead actor's name, I thought, "Damn, what kind of drama are they making?" I won't say it's bad, but it also doesn't live up to the star's name. You feel like something is missing. Yes, life is full of struggle and sorrow, which I accept; they want to show every aspect of life, but where is the romance?I felt like there was no romance at all. Somewhere, I feel like Xu Kai is not the leading actor but a supporting character. Yang Mi has more interaction with her ex-boyfriend than with her current boyfriend. They are living together but still feel awkward while talking. But one thing that this slow-burning drama has is great chemistry between the lead characters.
This drama begins with a fictitious marriage between two people who have never met. But one day, that guy suddenly arrives at the party when the girl doesn't know anything. When her boss saw him, she took him to a girl, and she kissed him on the spot. Guy knows nothing; she will explain everything; later, he asks her to be his wife because of his parents, and she asks to be his wife because of work.
Xu Kai has already played such a type of character, best supporting his boyfriend, even when he fell into your smile at the Arsenal Military Academy. I haven't seen any modern dramas with Yang Mi, so this time I liked her character. Overall, it is a good drama, but don't have too much expectation because the plot is predictable. Still, you enjoy this drama because of the lead characters' chemistry.

Too much focus on side stories
I won't say this was great drama but i did enjoy coz it was fun, nothing new, i didn't find the chemistry at all between main lead. They focus too much on side story. I felt like main lead got limited time screen. Makers should have given more screen to them. But we can say makers try to give different story. Far from famous and handsome college star and falling with simple guy while holding guitar. This is the reason i enjoyed this series. Anyway you can watch and enjoy.Was this review helpful to you?
No solace at all
Thank God, this drama is short; otherwise, I would have dropped it after watching two episodes. I can't even imagine what kind it would be if it were made into a full-fledged one. I like the concept because it is similar to many K-drama themes, but it is not even a comforting one. If we watch other k-dramas, then we feel like, "What a drama!" but when it comes to BL series, why are Korean BL writers so behind?Two animals appeared as human avatars to their owners. Then they met and started living together, but this series is so predictable that you will know what will happen after watching two episodes. You feel like you are watching four people talk in a cafe. I'm not sure why they made this series at all. Just hiring a good-looking actor doesn't have any drama at all. Nowadays, I'm perplexed as to why BL writers can't push the envelope in terms of story. We all know that story is the main factor in movies and series. Any movie will succeed through word of mouth if the story is good.
I can't write more than this. old and predictable story with a good-looking cast without soul. This drama is so plain that you won't feel any thrill, excitement, romance, or anything else.

Irritating as fuck
I saw so many bad reviews then i avoided this series but i saw one review about this series that this series is good coz it focus on the relationship sorn and jun, then i was like okay then i will click, first 3 episodes i did enjoyed then i started to get annoyed of sorn, mf obsessed with sex and just want to sleep with jun and jun is playing so naive that he do anything as long as sorn says. Jun can't even talk with someone sorn started scold. Wtf is that? What about jun social life? Doubting on everyone? Seriously if i was jun i would have kick in his balls. Sorn will sleep anyone but jun can't even talk with his colleague? Who the fuck is writer of this series? I don't mind NC scene as long as story is fucking good. If we see game of thrones nobody can beat this series on nudity and sex but story if this series top tier. Literally i am on ep 8 and he is have allergies on body and sorn wants to have sex instead of taking to hospital. Wtf is that? Oh god. Sorn is irritating and annoying and biggest hypocrite. I just wanna punch sorn first then i wanna punch jun as well for not being hard, not resisting whatever sorn try to do. That is relationship development? He just wants to fuck jun and viewer are saying that they r focusing on the story development of led character. Seriously, producer producing anything, actor acting on anything without reading script. Ufff there is no words to say about my hatred towards actor, writer, producers. Just u have NC scene that doesn't make good series.Was this review helpful to you?
sometimes chemistry can save bad drama
I am giving 5 star because of chemistry of the main actor. otherwise the way they execute the story I would have given 0 stars.Good Side : Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry, I have never seen chemistry like this in gay series, perfect chemistry, romance, kisses and good enough acting
Bad side : Badly execute story, that's how we overcome trauma and depression??, they tried to say so many things but left on half, according to story this drama could be next manner of death or Triage but the way they ended story is like fucking irritating. this could be perfect desert with great revenge, overcoming trauma, romance, chemistry. we they have all elements like : story, chemistry, romance, they make series like this and when they don't have story they try to make series like big dragon. plus according to story this drama is fucking short. This drama so badly badly execute.

I will never stop praising this drama
Why this drama is sooooo underrated? one of the most flawless and perfectly executed BL drama I have ever seen. A lot more than just typical (popular, handsome, music, game, university romance) BL drama . Beyond your imagination. This drama is way better than any other BL drama. I cannot stop praising this drama at all. This drama has offer you so many things. This drama is like full 10 course meal in Eiffel tower with your lover. Only thing I expected more on this great series was a lot more sex scene and kisses.Start with a medical doctor Dr. Tin who doesn't like to save drunk people at all and he did same thing when Tol arrived at the hospital because of accident. he doesn't even check him and Tol dies there. then Dr. Tin time loop start. At first he doesn't know what to do then slowly he will do everything to save Tol. I wish they much more romance part as well. but sadly they don't have but that doesn't mean this drama is less. you don't want to leave even one min while watching this drama. Twist after Twist , loop after loop, Damn what a drama. Till the end your heartbeat doesn't stop beating faster. you will keep thinking what will happen, please let them be together. In my case if drama can make you more curious and keep you tightly on the sit then that drama is fucking great.
The way main actor execute every kind of emotion make this drama great. what can I say about story, just wow wow wow wow. Director has done great job. This drama deserve 15 min standing ovation in queer section in Cannes Film Festival. if BL drama can be this good then definitely it deserve all the praise.

what should i say
Seriously after reading few review i thought okay it might be good but where is their standard. people are supporting any kind of BL series just because it is BL series. They criticize series like love in the air which bring topic like depression, trauma and they support series like this which have nothing to offer. As hotel owner he have right to angry because customer rating can be very important for Hotel for their brand but chef poon is asshole, idk why I get so irritated by his behavior. what if same thing we do real life? we would have get fired and pay compensation but hotel owner wont do anything because he like him, where is equality?Even he is raising his voice when it is very clear that what his is mistake, he try save everyone like he is superman. at starting it is good but later it is so irritating. it is a show of food, I thought I can see wide range of Thai regional and national cuisine but I cant see any other food except papaya salad. we know papaya salad is very famous but it is all about papaya salad really? make your own sit if you like it. Hotel owner what should I say oh god, fucking irritating.
