Don't you wonder if Q-Tips sponsor these shows. I've never seen so many minor injuries as in BL.
Yes, BB turned a few tropes on their heads, while still staying within formula. But in reality - fever, scratch on the leg - Ive never needed anyone to care for me in those situations. It's just cheesy (and easy) writing.

Can you watch this without watching the others first?
Yes, but you get more info by watching the others. However, this was the first one I watched, then after falling in love with the actors went back to watch the other series (this one is still my fav)

Title Not Me
A good show that somehow just didn't hit me the way I wanted it to. Can't really complain about anything. I'm not an Off/Gun fan so I'm sure that had a lot to do with my blasé reaction to the show, though I will say Off surprised me and handled the role better than I anticipated. Applaud the unique story and the topical themes. Lots of loose ends, though that too is true to the way life/politics/corruption are. A solid show that just wasn't my cup of tea.

Title First Love Again Spoiler
This one started off very interesting. The premise was intriguing and then the gender swap added a nice twist. It got better in the middle and then just petered out towards the end. Instead of being more invested and caring whether or not they got together, I found myself disengaged and not really caring at all. For me, it hinged on Jeon Chang Ha's performance. He did a credible job, but something about his portrayal and character just left me wanting more. I found him cold and aloof and that made it hard for me to care whether he got his happy ending. It was all a bit rushed and convenient in the end. Kim Jin Hyeon just leaves. "See you next year" and Jeong Ha Yeon acts like he was never going any where. "You should have come back sooner." What? That was not how either character behaved until then.

Does anyone know what David says in the text during the live-stream? Maybe that would have helped. But I doubt it.

Like many are saying "Meh".

Ep 4, best so far. Lots of character development for several of the cast. This show isn't what I expected, and I like that. Can't wait to see where this all leads.

I totally buy into the idea of a forced moment of closeness, especially that requires one to be vulnerable and the other the caretaker, and has touching involved. I just think there is more than one way to write that moment into a script.

Title Our Days
Why did they cast someone so dreary for Mon? There are so many great ingredients in this series, but Captain Coma…
Captain Coma.... so true. LOL

Title You're My Sky Spoiler
On another note: I'm not sure about a Dome/Vee spin-off. I love these characters and the actors - but the biggest challenge they could face has come and gone. What are the gonna do? A girl come between them? Dome is too busy with his job to spend tie with See? As much as I wanna see them as a couple, I'm not sure they could make a better story for them. But, if anybody could, it's probably these writers. They did a great job this season, so maybe they can pull it off.

And one other side note: Fah/Thorn get together about mid-way through the series. They live together, break up, get back together. They even have sex... but they are not "Official" or "boyfriends" til Ep 12?? I don't understand the rules of dating in Thailand. Haha.

Some mis-steps and problems in the last few episodes, but all in all a very strong series. One of the few that has managed to juggle multiple couples and give them all complete and satisfying storylines - and almost make me feel like they were each the stars of the series. I really came to like almost all of these characters, including some of the very minor roles (the basketball teammates added a lot in terms of friendship and humor - and diversity!) I was charmed and got sucked into all of their issues (yes, some tears were shed along the way). I'm not sure I would watch the entire series again, but I do feel that I could drop into any episode and be immediately immersed in their lives and happy to see old friends yet again. Nice job, everyone.

I still like this quite a bit - it needs to pick up a little, as this pace is a tad slow. This ep needed repetitiousness…

Title Summerdaze
This is like a dream. Fleeting images that leave an impression though don’t tell the whole story. Beautifully shot and edited. A longing glance that tells so much. Wish I could have gotten a whole story but what we did get was tender and sweet.

Title Incomplete
Between the translation and editing, I was confused and unsatisfied. But I guess the title should have warned me. Some sweet moments, good performances, basically the start of what might have been a good story but not really fleshed out enough for my taste.

Title DNA Says Love You Spoiler
After 3 eps, I'm still enjoying this for the unusual storyline. Ep 3 didn't really have much progression, but I'm still enjoying the interaction amongst the friends. I'm curious who Amber is, and also loved the final "reveal" of the swallow at the end. Makes me excited for the next eps. Not great, but enjoyable.

On Cupid's Last Wish • Mar 26, 2022
Title Cupid's Last Wish Spoiler
This was a mixed bag for me. I gave it a decent rating, probably higher than it deserved.
- All the stars are for the MC. They are both so charming, charismatic, cute and good actors (Earth has really improved over the years).
-Beautiful scenery. A nice tour of Thailand.
- A decent job with the body swap story, handled very well, so as to make it more romance than fantasy/comedy.
But some definite mis-steps and few things that really got me riled up.
-At least 4 (maybe more) scenes where Win devours food. I don't know if the Thai Cultural office sponsored this, and they had to show the different cuisines of different regions - but they wasted almost an entire episode (if you add the scenes together) for basically one joke. How about some character development, instead?
-Endless bickering. I get it, they are supposed to be at odds. And I'm not actually opposed to the bickering, but it was pointless bickering. Do it. I won't. Do it. I won't. Do it. I won't. Repeating the same lines of dialogue over and over and then repeating the same type of bickering about nothing important at all over and over. Wasted time.
-The infantilization of Win's character (and Lin's character). He's a grown man. Giving him a stuffed toy is ridiculous, I don't care what the sentimental implications are. Plus, he had tantrums like a 4 year old, was scared of the dark, scared of water, can't sleep one night alone. Pathetic. Whoever writes these things seems to think that adults are children.
-The sexism/misogyny. Lin is portrayed as weak, unable to take care of herself, no strength, can't be in the sun, faints countless times and has to be "saved", doesn't even have the strength to steer a car!!! She was raised on a farm! Chances are she could kick any man's ass, but no she's a useless woman. Worst of all, the menstruation "comedy". Korn's awkward reaction would have been okay, but to make fun of a women, especially their emotional state during their period was outdated, misogynistic and down right repulsive.
-The way everything was drawn-out, over-dramatized and played over-the-top. Every moment was played like it was the last time they would ever see each other. Ep11 they boys have been on their journey, Win is back in his body, they are back to friends, but when Korn leaves the hospital for work, they prolong the exit as if he was walking to his death. And then on Lin's engagement party, Win is missing - and people start hyperventilating like he's been mauled by a bear. The dude is on the pier... relax. Just a bit too much for me.
-Did we need the Aunt and Uncle trying to get the farm? It didn't really add anything and ultimately was resolved so easily that it was useless. Although, that Aunt played a great B--ch.
But all in all, I enjoyed it and could look past most of the problems. Again, because of Earth/Mix. Would I watch again. No. Give me TOTS any day.

I adored it, start to finish. Sure, there were minor criticisms, but so much fun that everything could be overlooked. Kent Tsai was phenomenal. I would watch him in anything. Great comedy, great heart, great friendships and a touch of bromance (not that much, truly but didn't need any more). Refreshing and original. I would watch again and again.
