I love how the story played out!
Pretty interesting concept. I loved seeing the main couple as parents because I feel like it's something we don't see too often. The actors had great chemistry as well. The story really gets you interested pretty early on, and it keeps you guessing the entire time. I've rewatched it a couple times and even on rewatch you're still on the edge of your seat.Definitely better than a lot of crime dramas! Some scenes might be disturbing to some people, so be aware of that!

Cliche but look at the title lol
A very cliche and repetitive story but that's just how this story is going to be. It's a cute story, nonetheless. there's nothing super special about this story as it's like your typical rom-com. A poor girl with rich men as her love interests. We've seen it before, but this one really gets repetitive pretty quickly.Was this review helpful to you?
Something is off about this show
I liked the story of this show overall and love a lot of the actors that are in this, especially Cha Woo-min. There was something about this show though that made it hard to get through for me. I don't know if it was the pacing or what, but something made it take me a bit to get through it. I loved Dong Ju's character so much! He was the best part of the show without a doubt.Always love seeing my boo thang (Cha Woomin) in anything <3

Is this a dating show or casting call?
This was really cute, and I really liked all the boys...I just wish we got to see more couple moments rather than all group moments. It started off so well in the first couple episodes. It felt like a dating show, which is what they advertised it as, but then it felt more like they were auditioning to be the next BL couple. Why was there only one solo date throughout the whole show? Like I said I loved all the boys especially Shark and Kong, I just needed more time with just the pairings and less group stuff.I do like all the couples that ended up together and wish the best for everyone!

Bittersweet story that's a little odd
This story concept is pretty unique. It is definitely a little odd to say the least. I liked the two main characters. The acting was great, and I liked the chemistry between the actors as well. I think its pacing is good too. Stories like this sometimes I feel can drag on and this one didn't. This is a very bittersweet story and very enjoyable to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Great for someone new to the BL world
A cute simple story. I loved the chemistry between the two boys! It does romanticize bullying a little bit though, which is not usually the best. There are some great lessons in there as well. I think this is a good one to watch if you're new to BL's, especially Korean BL's because of the pacing and the way the story plays out. It's a Korean BL so don't expecting anything crazy when it comes to the physical stuff.Was this review helpful to you?
A true masterpiece
Where to even being other than saying that this is a true masterpiece. This show was truly incredible and had me hooked from beginning to end. We got two shows in one, and I thought it was so cool how they did it. I've never seen anything like that before. I loved the blurred line of reality of their lives and what they were filming. I love how we got to watch their lives, them on set, and the show itself. So cool!The acting was incredible! I can't believe it was Ollie and Shu Yuan's first step in the acting world. They were outstanding and were so captivating. Their chemistry was fantastic! The kissing and spice were so good, especially for a Chinese BL. Ollie is so beautiful. He had me acting up the whole series, especially when he'd have his ponytail. Shu Yan is so gorgeous too. I loved seeing the sweet moments between them as well as the spicier moments. Seeing them try to navigate their feelings for each other and how it was going to work out with their lives was so interesting to see, especially since they both had girlfriends to begin with.
The post credit scene to reveal one finale plot twist...I was so shook. You have to make sure not to miss it.
Everything about this show just blew me away. The plot, the characters, the acting, the camera work and lighting, the editing, ALL OF IT! I loved everything about this and didn't have a single complaint the entire time watching it. I really want to watch it again. This show was so intense and so emotional yet so beautiful at the same time. Everything was just so well done. It's been almost a month since I finished it, and I still can't get over how incredible this show was. I think about it every day. This show seriously changed the game for Chinese BLs.
The fact Ollie and Shu Yuan as well as the director are all so young makes this even more impressive.
I need the Deep In they were filming to be released as its own thing right now, it looked so good.
Seriously cannot praise this show enough.

It's about more than just anime style fighting
I love that this is in the same universe as Study Group! This show was incredible! I loved how crazy the fighting was and how sentimental some of the episodes were. I loved how much it touched on as well, from the students to parents to teachers. I think my favorite episodes were one, two, and five. I love the characters the most from two! I love how they were the only ones who didn't end up in jail or anything either! I liked when we got to see them later on and they talked about how the school was doing after the fact as well! I really enjoyed this show a lot and hope it gets picked up for another season!!Characters:
Na Hwa Jin: Absolutely loved him! He was such a good main character! An absolute baddie!! Everything that happened with his fiancée was so tragic. I just loved him. I loved his relationship with the other main three characters too, especially with his father-in-law.
Choi Gan Seok: I love that he wanted to start this because of what happened to his daughter. He has gone through so much, not only with his daughter, but with so many people against this as well. I really liked him a lot. His relationship with Na Hwa Jin was so adorable.
Bong Geun Dae: He is so cute! I liked him a lot! He was so smart and I loved seeing what all he could he do with his computers. Him always trying to leave work was so funny too. His relationship was Han Rim was so sweet, and I hope it develops further if there's another season.
Im Han Rim: I loved her!! I love how crazy she was! She was insane and really embraced it and I loved that. She's really caring too. I loved her relationship with Na Hwa Jin a lot and seeing how close they were. I loved seeing her start to like Geun Dae too!

Beautifully raw and real
This show was beautifully done. I wouldn't consider it a BL, maybe more of a queer story. I loved this so much. I watched it one sitting. I loved getting to go through so many years of life with our cast. It felt like watching someone's life more than watching a show and I loved that.Ryu was my favorite character. He was so caring and so adorable and just the biggest green flag. Jo Han was an incredible character too. He went through so many hard time but I loved that he kept getting back up and trying to make the best out of his life. Sumiko was also so enjoyable to watch. She is so strong and I loved her determination too. All the characters in this show had such a complexity about them that made them feel so real. They all went through good times as well as a lot of hardships that life throws at you.
The boys wanting to help Sumiko raise the baby and seeing the three of them raise her together was so beautiful to see. I loved that it showed different sides of it including the judgement that would naturally come from other people. Even after Jo Han left, Ryu agreeing to marry Sumiko to make it easier on the child was so incredible to see too.
I have a feeling some people won't care for the ending since the boys never confessed to each, nor came out and said they were gay, but I loved it. Somehow that made the story seem that much more real. You as the audience knew they were gay and knew they had feelings for each other from little moments here and there throughout the show without it ever being said outright and I loved that. We hear their monologues and the end and hear the I love you's but I personally think the I love you's were just in their heads. I think they spent Jo Han's finals moments together and then Ryu goes back home without them ever saying anything to each other, but I don't think they needed to. I think they knew deep down how they felt and that was enough for them and even though some may say it's tragic they never heard it from the other, I think it is still beautiful.

THIS IS SLEPT ON
This show is SLEPT ON! I've never seen anyone talk about it and didn't see it get promoted at all and it is so good! I loved the mystery of this show so much. I really want it to have a season two, but I doubt it will because of how little popularity it has.I loved Yun Ina and Han Saem so much as characters. Ina was such an interesting character to watch. I loved how you questioned if she was the killer or not multiple times throughout the series. Han Saem was fun to watch as a detective as well! I loved their banter together too.
The mystery of the murderer(s) and what the puzzle pieces meant was so cool. I loved trying to figure what was happening. I did solve who the killer was pretty early on but that's pretty typical of me, so I don't think it's necessarily super easy to guess.
I don't have any complaints about the show at all and truly loved it from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Please give us a third season, we beg
I loved this season as well! Once again, the relationships Sieun builds in this season are just so fun to watch! I love all the new friends he makes! I even really liked some of the new bad guys this season! I love that every character is more than a 'bad guy' or 'good guy'. No one is perfect and every character is so fleshed out. I love all the action scenes this season as well, especially the one on the roof. This show never fails to amaze me in how it can make you feel every emotion. The actors all did incredible of course!I did enjoy season one more than this one, but I'd still give this one a 10/10

So much fun!
Loved how fun this show was! There were some deeper and more emotional moments as well but overall was such a fun series! The characters in Spirit Fingers as well as both sets of best friends were a lot of fun to watch. They all had great chemistry together as well!I loved the relationships between the two main couples. There were definitely moments where I got annoyed at the girls, but only in a couple moments so it didn't bother me too bad.
Overall, a super fun watch and would recommend! Loved seeing Cha Woomin in this as well!
Also, I have to mention all the costumes and especially the sets! That was so fun to see each episode!

This show is basically p*rn
I hated the main two characters so much. It felt like they were trying to be Boss and Noeul. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but that's the vibe it gave. And it did not work...at all. They were just very unlikable together and apart. I wish we got more time with the B couple because I thought they were more interesting. Though I feel like Yoon needs to work on his acting a little bit because I didn't always feel very much emotion from him. That being said, I enjoyed watching him more than Boat and Oat. The spice in this show was insane. Just straight up p*rn sometimes. I'm here for the spice so I don't mind.Was this review helpful to you?
Very bloody and I love it
I LOVED THIS! I love that they didn't hold back on the violence at all! Super bloody and gory which is what I was hoping for, and it didn't disappoint. Loved the main character so much and enjoyed seeing him get his revenge on everyone. I think the story wrapped up really well. I think it was the perfect length too.Was this review helpful to you?

Never thought I'd say death was gorgeous
I LOVED THIS! I love how it was all connected, that was such a cool part of this show! It had me shook every time! This is such a unique concept for a show, and I think was executed so well! I loved getting to go through all the different characters lives. I Jae's development as a character was so cool to watch as well. The acting from everyone was great too! I don't see why this show isn't more popular.The actress who played death had me kicking my feet, she's gorgeous.
