Had potential, turned out disappointing
I hesitated to write a review for a while, so I took some time to gather my thoughts.This series had potential, but for me it ended up disappointing and it wasn’t for the reason some people assume. It’s not about Doha not ending up with the team leader. Honestly, I would’ve been fine even if he ended up with the barista; that wasn’t the main issue.
What bothered me:
A lot of viewers rooted for the best friend early on because he initially came across as a green flag (not everyone, but many did). But his character kept getting worse and worse. I’m used to seeing characters start off red flag and eventually get character development, especially if they’re meant to be the final couple , but this felt like the opposite. I went from “I don’t mind if they end up together” to “I definitely don’t want them together.”
His behavior turned into ragebait at some point. The non consensual kiss already crossed a boundary , if your friend can’t feel safe being vulnerable around you, that’s a problem, then i thought let's ignore that and move on then he became controlling and aggressive: Doha couldn’t talk to a guy without being lectured, and the best friend even punched someone who did nothing wrong and just because he is jealous. Meanwhile, he walked around acting like he was allowed to do whatever he wanted and that's supposed to be romantic.
When Doha asked for space to think, I was ready to like the best friend again if he respected that. But instead he kept pushing. Someone tells you they need space , especially after that kiss and him feeling confused and your response is to pressure them? at somepoint he is just screaming red flag
I didn't bother watching the last 2 eps , there is no way im going to magically like it or root for them.
As for Doha himself… he looked like a grown man but often acts helpless with the mind of a small kid ,i wish he stand up for himself ,this show could have been so much better

a creepy and stalkerish handsome guy
the harassment tho.... a bit of harassment i let it pass but this is constant harassment that i see, everywhere he go he finds him stalking him and the guy will not take a no as an answer, im trying to not think too much about it as its just a serie, its all fun until its a real life situation it become a serious problem then, they choose a handsome actor and make people swoon and ignore the red flags.that scene when they are in the bus he took it too far, he is leaning toward him and putting his hand on his hand on purpose while the other ML clearly doesnt want to be touched he keeps pushing him away, if you are trying to flirt with someone you dont do it like that, not being creepy and non con touching!! thats called sexual harassment/sexual assault depending on what you exactly did.
and he took a picture of him without his consent and then sent it later to him wtf
some people who love this serie feel defensive but its ok for you to acknowledge the flaws of a character but enjoy the serie as well instead of pretending like nothing wrong with the ML because some people are saying he is "only hitting on him" and "its aggressive flirting" wtf? he was clearly crossing his boundaries.. admitting that some things are morally not right is ok, if he was a woman those same people will not be saying those words
another unrealistic thing, how is he harassing his boss without any consequences, i dont get it , usually the person who has power is the one who abuse their power, but this guy is a new employee to work but he is harassing his boss, so weird concept...
the script is obviously bad, really bad, there is so much better plots than this one ,dropped

a sinking titanic
dont get me wrong, i do tend to love jbls but this is one exception , i just coudnt finish itit felt like they relied on a famous serie to pick the public interest but they should know that this is not enough, both acting, chemistry and plot werent done well, at least the thai one have the acting and chemistry of the mls to back it up, this one is lacking on every level which explains the rating of this serie
id still rate it 6/10 only because i have seen worse
adaptations dont always backfire, the cherry magic one was good both versions were good and enjoyable to watch, in order for adaptations to do well they need to pick good actors ,for them to have good chemistry and make the story creative and interesting to watch , a bland one will only make people feel asleep and if they can predict almost every little thing because of excessive" copy paste" dialogue from the original one it kills the interest

good quality ,hard work always win
while i understand ep 1 did upset some people ,imo the show is much more than one ep so its better to focus on the whole picture rather than one or two scenes when judging, and the ost? great as well ,this show has everything from romance to comedy , to angsty vibes to happy vibesbut one thing for sure, this series deserves the success it got, overhyped? nope ,they worked hard and it paid off well , they had a dream they made it true, with all the disadvantages they faced by gov etc they continued on and promoted the show well, i'am happy for them
they also picked the right actors for the right roles,if you want something good, refreshing i highly recommend this for you

the first real omegaverse
What i loved:-its the first real omegaverse bl : they showed omegaverse properly: heats, ruts, pheromones etc
-good introduction to the omegaverse in the first ep
-interesting and addictive story
-the visuals , mls looking so handsome
-making this bl wasnt easy as its a bl from china, they worked hard and i appreciate that, so i highly recommend people to watch legally and support them
What i disliked:
-rushed ending: about half the final ep
-second cp didnt have a proper ending but at least it hints to a happy ending
i heard it was supposed to be 24 eps which makes sense, but overall it was good
i highly recommend people to watch it and to give the show a lot of love

i wanted to enjoy it
The story had a lot of potential ,the synopsis really caught my attention (I love survival games plots). But unfortunately, the execution didn’t quite work for me. I found the pacing a bit slow, and I had trouble liking any character nor did i feel attached. The dialogue and acting didn’t fully draw me in either, so I ended up distracted , losing focus a few times. I did give it another try, but it still couldn’t hold my attention.That being said, I can see why others might enjoy it ,the concept itself is intriguing, and it definitely has its own style. Just personally, it wasn’t quite my thing

mixed feelings
i had mixed feelings about this serie, many people love this show and i can see why.. this show tackled serious matters, it mention many issues and it feel mature not silly which is something that i really lovedbut what i didnt like at all is, first im not someone who like comedy, i find some comedy funny but most of the time it doesnt, the other thing is that im not really into the plot of this serie so thats the issue, im not into plots about time travel, lose of memory and you having to figure out what happened which is what this serie is about, so thats why i dont find myself enjoying this, at some point i also started to feel bored, not sure if its because it started to be dragging or only because im not into the plot. def its not my cup of tea

good actors but terrible plot
what is this plot about again? there is barely anything going on, what im saying the plot is not interesting at alland i dont feel like forcing myself to watch when im bored asf, this has nothing to do with the actors as they look handsome and i think there is chemistry, the thing is the main thing about a show is the plot so unfortunately even those attractive actors coudnt keep me watching this
this show remind me a bit of tale of 1000 stars (about the place, environment), but 1000 stars is an amazing show that have an actual good plot (someone getting a chance to live again, secrets revealed etc ) ,while this one doesnt have anything going on it doesnt look interesting at all so it just looked like a weak remake of 1000 stars
i did notice this about gmmtv, they give us few good gems (good shows ,good plot) while others are all about romance ,dragging too much and barely any plot is going on
good some people love it, it work out for them, i just dont feel interested when there is no story and nothing is going on, they fill the eps with scenes that have barely anything going on in them

I expected better
Nothing stands out,it’s packed with recycled moments and overused kdrama cliches that make it feel like something you’ve already seen dozen times, just with different actors.I tried watching after seeing many people talk about it and as i like the male lead actor but unfortunately i was disappointed.
