This drama started strong for me, but at the end I was so tired of the constant lies. In general it is a good production but the story could be better

I thought I was going to be the only one with a problem with the Izaya and William couple having a lot of screen time. I'm on episode 6 and the only thing I want to see at this point is how they make friends into the group.

Don't worry. About the cake analogy from my earlier comment—what I meant is that the drama looks nice. The actors are good-looking, the visuals are fine, and overall it’s appealing enough on the surface. And story-wise, it does follow the manga. But even with all that, it still doesn’t deliver the emotional impact I was hoping for.

I’ve spent the whole year watching Japanese BL dramas and I’ve enjoyed most of them—some more than others. But with this one, I just haven’t been able to feel the emotions it’s supposed to show. I can see the characters looking sad or happy, but neither they nor the overall vibe really make me feel anything 😞

I’ve reread the Therapy Game manga several times and really enjoyed it, but I’m struggling with the drama. The visual storytelling feels too simple, like it’s just doing the bare minimum, and the actors only do just enough to make the characters believable. It’s like a cake that looks nice and doesn’t taste bad, but isn’t anything special either. Even though the drama follows the manga almost to the letter, it only gives me a fraction of what the original story did. I honestly envy the people who are enjoying it. At this point, I think this might end up being the only Japanese drama this year that I don’t finish

I don't have a problem with the ML being a fusion of the three figures we see in the drama. I feel more like there where a lot of lazy writing, was predictable with some flat emotions and kind of repetitive. I don't know what I was expecting, is not the worst but definitely I have watched better

There is only one episode for me to finish this drama, but I'm so mad about the writing of the last 2 episodes, only for them to have an excuse to bring back the super powers... I hate it so much.

I kinda expected people to hate on Suzume after today’s episode, and looks like I wasn’t wrong. Everyone’s blaming him for being scared to move forward with his relationship with Keishi, saying what he should or shouldn’t be doing. But honestly, I’ve related to Suzume since day one. I get his fear. For him, it’s not as simple as just saying “yes” and moving on without thinking about the risks.

Has anyone actually stopped to think what would happen if the wrong people found out they’re together? It’s not just the age gap—it’s also their work positions, and on top of that, the fact that they’re both men. Suzume’s terrified that if things blow up, Keishi might resent him and blame him for all the fallout, which wouldn’t be small.

Sure, we all trust Keishi, but with all the demons Suzume’s carrying, it makes sense he needs more than just an “I like you” and a couple of dates to feel safe. Honestly, I think next episode Suzume might take that leap of faith because of how much he loves Keishi. And I really don’t think everything they’ve built so far has been for nothing.

I know the CEO was talking about the engagement for the dramas in social media, but I think is going to be more than that. If you want to ensure engagement to for a show then you are going to be looking to have the best conditions even before starts airing. This is more a teory, but I belive if an actor or actress has a better social media than others that means they are going to have better chances to have main roles than others. I want to be wrong but still, I don't like the halfass explanaition they gave us.

The GMMTV CEO already said it if the social media numbers aren't what they want then there going to be changes. I don't really care about the ships and I know that I'm one of few that think like that. What it hurts me about the change in the main cuple is they are taking a good actor out of a protagonic to put him as only a supporting role in another project

I believe many people haven't fully realized the problem with Ami, a minor, playing a role like the one she has in this drama. It's not just the age gap with her co-star—it's everything that comes with the fact that she is underage. The main characters have a married couple dynamic, and please don't justify it by saying that in ancient times this was acceptable. Yes, it's a historical drama, but they're acting in the present, in our current reality. They’re not actually traveling to the past where such things were considered “normal.”

In my opinion, this also seems to support the agenda of platforms like iQIYI and Tencent, which push the idea that main actors in costume dramas shouldn’t be over 30. Today it’s a 17-year-old actress—will it be a 14-year-old next?

You can really tell there’s been a lot of money invested into the production — everything looks beautiful and high-quality — but sadly, the last few episodes have felt very flat. I honestly blame the directors more than anyone else. The storytelling lacks passion, and even the actors, who I know from other projects are quite talented, come across as mediocre here. That says a lot about the direction.

It feels like we’re going in circles with too many episodes just to end up with very little in the end. We’re often quick to protect projects like this because of the budget or because we love the actors, but it’s exhausting to keep seeing stories told so poorly. I believe Thai directors have so much potential — there are real geniuses out there — but this just isn’t the work that should define them.

I'm loving this drama so much, even the comedy. I read in some comments that this drama has many 'shonen' tropes, I agree and I think that is what is making this drama so special to me. For me with costume dramas takes some episodes to find if is worth it for me, whit this drama since the first episode I got hooked.
I understand that this is not for everyone but is making wonders for me.

I only know that is actually available on Spotify but I don't other sources.

The first time I watched CDL in a drama was in TTEOTM and my first impression was that she is so pretty but after knowing the character better, I hated YBC but also was impressed for how CDL could acted so well in that role. I tend to be amazed by actors/actresses who play characters with a bast range of emotions and also for those who can make me hate the character so much. I'm expecting to know another side of CDL in FOF and know her better as an artist.

I'm not objective with this show and provably I'm going to give it a higher rating than it deserves... but at the end I enjoy most of it. I hope Frame and Ryan could work togeher in a better project, they have an amazing chemistry.

I cried like with the manga. Loved every minute... has its flaws but is more beautiful than that. I'm looking forward to watch Uesugi Shuhei in Yu Yu Hakusho 😊

I finally finished this drama, at some point was hard to watch. I love Chimon but the GMM needs to evaluate what kind of romance he can actualy play, he is a great actor but I'm not sure that romance is his genere... But the script wasn't that good either.
At the end I love more the hinted romance without a kiss that they gave us with Saifah and Name, I need a BL drama with Papang playing a main role.

For me, the wait has been long enough. Only this weekend Netflix Latam relased the first two episodes and reading the critics hasn't stop my determination to watch this till the end. If I finished Alchemy of Souls 2 I can finish this... Is not gonna be worst than other second seasons that I have watched this year.

I'm biased and I know with two episodes enough of the story flaws but I want to enjoy it. Provably is gonna have a lower rating than the first one, but is ok for me.

You aren't the only one. I'm sharing the pain with you

"HS4: Cose to you" wasn't this bad, talking about how they share the same director... The story is all over the place. What were the scriptwriters thinking?
I have lost hope this is getting better. I'm going to finish it, but I don't expect it to be good enough.
