i'm really liking this series so far. i didn't really like forcebooks' last series but this fits them. and I am excited to see more perthsanta and juniormark (markjunior?). this show is great timing and it doesn't seem too over the top.
but... what about the surprise Shan birthday plot? TT^TT
in all fairness, the writing was a bit messy. wasn't too much story but my god did TutorYim nail it out of the park. Ozone and Pie were great side couple. Wasn't expecting Sin and Jingjang but omg did I want them to have a happy ending.
again, the sex scenes were just... out of this world. each episode seemed more daring. Will I ever rewatch the whole show? no. will I rewatch the scenes? absolutely! lol.
basically (if you've read this before watching), go in watching this knowing that the plot is not 100% there, but it is still worth the watch if you want some smexy stuff (and cute. because let's face it, TutorYim are an adorable pairing)
how was this made in 2021 and I missed it?? omg this series was so good! like the one review said, a love triangle done correctly. I struggled with who I wanted to be with TaeKyung (which was TaeGyung in my translations) . I'm so glad that this came on my Tiktok feed because dang it was so good. The writers deserve so much praise for this. Especially being done in South Korea?? What a movement! Just... perfection!
wow, I am so torn on this series. first, it started off strong. it was interesting. but then... they like, brushed off the whole copyright plot entirely? like was that even fixed? the writing and the pacing just kept getting worse and worse. then the hiatus happens. I was like, thank gosh, they are gonna fix the pacing.
BOY WAS I WRONG! Firstly, why did Shun lie to Ob-un? I don't buy any of his bs of being scared he'd lose the boy again. especially since they showed Shun seemingly enjoying fooling Ob-un. That was a huge red flag and made me lose respect for Shun. and then.... omg why did they put two sx scenes in the same episode... BACK TO BACK?!!?! Tutor and Yim both slayed those scenes. I gotta say they really got better with acting. but what the actual f* was the pacing of this episode?! what the h3ll was that hiatus for?!
Then the next episode they speed run through the side couple. Yes, I am very happy that the two actually talked about their feelings, but the sx scene came out of nowhere. It almost felt forced. At this point, I couldn't take the pacing and had to literally pause the episode. I've dropped series before, but this one... oh boy. hopefully, I'll pick it up in a few days but I think I mentally have to take a hiatus from this.
I have to say though, if I'd have to pick this series and Middleman's Love? I'd pick this ten times more. At least the characters don't give me a headache after them being so over the top. But, dang the writers and editors dropped the ball on TutorYim and they really need to just sign with someone who's actually going to take their couple seriously.
It was alright. Like 7/10. Not bad but not great. Kinda just fluff. If you're in the mood for some surface fluff…
honestly if the writers would've written the GL couple better and have actual romance instead of one person giving orders to another, they could've been good. I was excited to see the Thai industry open up more and include GLs, but this series was not it at all. I completely understand.
what was the point of having a side couple if they: A) barely have any screen time. B) Aparently get together OFF SCREEN?!?!?! Like that was an absolute no go. What was the point of this episode then? We got one 'sexy scene' for one whole freaking hour. Everything else was just... nothing. Just felt like a recap episode? Idk... it just was not worth the time.
Joo Ha couldn't accept himself, which is why he was raging and trying to hide who he was with that aggression.…
he didn't seem to be LGTQ at all until the kiss happened, and that was him questioning. I understand the violence part, just don't understand how someone could fall in love with someone who constantly belittles you and hurts you. To me, that's toxic.
I understand and agree with your point to a certain extent. But now it's 2024 and BL dramas have expanded, become…
I understand, but it felt fine to me? Especially since the characters were both newer to relationships. I guess I'm more of a 'fluff' kisser (some series get way too much lol). I get your points too though, and understand that.
why is everyone asking about all these kisses... like seriously you guys have no idea how lucky you all are. Go watch Sotus and watch a whole show with two kisses! TWO! That was our BL when these shows were nothing. We didn't have a BL show to replace it next week or so! and a lot of times we don't even see lips touching back then; just angles. You guys out here critiquing kisses like it's the end of the world. seriously drop it. it makes me so mad.
~ Firstly, this is all my opinion!! Second, I know it's a lot but I have a lot to say ~
I understand a lot of people's perspectives, but I think this show shows the healthier side of relationships. It's a nice change of pace and honestly, just a light drama that's for the good feels.
Phum + Peem couple I thought was written well. Phum grew up with little knowledge of love due to his past. He started to understand caring for others with Peem's help. Yeah, it was a little slow, but I think it worked out because you can't simply fully love someone after one night. And Peem had to fully trust Phum again. I'm not sure how many people have had to go through this experience. It's uncomfortable at first. I think Phuwin acted great as Peem. The kissing seemed normal to me for a BL series (especially after hearing that Phuwin was sick for a few scenes). I'm not sure why people are so butt-hurt over it.
Q + Toey couple I think was the most dragged out. I love the scenes when Q found out about Toey being his past 'crush'. I'd be conflicted and confused too. Toey is younger and it shows. Q is more serious but I think it works out because he can protect Toey. But dang did they really have to have Q perform so much? And Q just seemed too much of a 'perfect character' to me. He's an art prodigy who also is great at music, and he naps all the time. Like he had little flaws and I think that's where I struggled a little.
Tan + Fang couple is seriously a show stealer. Like many, I think their dynamics fit so well. Fang is a lot like Phum; he grew up with little knowledge of love. He's used to being rough and closed off. It makes it so much better that they were rivals when they first knew each other. Tan can be a bit over the top, but I think it works because Fang shows that he is constantly worried over how Fang seems to be 'unlovable'. Tan knew how to talk to him, making every word stick. Their scenes were great. You can just feel their love through the screen. I really have no other complaints.
Chain + Pun couple was honestly cute. They seriously were the 'we're married, we just don't know it yet' vibe. I understand the complaints that we didn't need another BL couple, but I'll touch on that later. We honestly didn't get too much of them but I think their chemistry was good. They both obviously like each other, Pun just really didn't know he liked Chain that way. That's what I'm going with anyway unless he made Chain do the fake dating thing as a test to see if he liked Pun back? They were a small couple and they are great.
The whole 'too many gay people' thing annoys me. I'm not going to pull up 100% facts, but a lot of times, art students are in the LGBTQ+ community. And it's very possible to be friends with people who are in the community because you all understand each other. You don't know everyone's sexuality in the show. One person could be pansexual or bisexual. Just because they are dating a guy, doesn't mean they are gay. The dating circle in a friend group is a cliche in all Thai BL and shouldn't have been as much of a surprise. Yes, this doesn't normally happen in real life; that's because this story is FICTION. I think if you're looking for a light-hearted, no break-up drama, then this show is great.
this show was so good oh my gosh! it had everything I ever needed. Fluff, humor, and massive green flags. Seriously this show should be illegal for how good it was.
was it just me or did other people get the side couple? like how could Do Yoon like Joo Ha? He's constantly hurting you and your friend? And you still like him? Huh?? it wasn't romantic at all. It made me so mad
I shouldn't have wasted my time on this. it was just unnecessary back and forth. Yoo Jae was so frustrating. If you want a cutesy Korean bl I'd say skip this one.
in all fairness, the writing was a bit messy. wasn't too much story but my god did TutorYim nail it out of the park. Ozone and Pie were great side couple. Wasn't expecting Sin and Jingjang but omg did I want them to have a happy ending.
again, the sex scenes were just... out of this world. each episode seemed more daring. Will I ever rewatch the whole show? no. will I rewatch the scenes? absolutely! lol.
basically (if you've read this before watching), go in watching this knowing that the plot is not 100% there, but it is still worth the watch if you want some smexy stuff (and cute. because let's face it, TutorYim are an adorable pairing)
