Hot bodies couldn’t make me stay
I have figured out how to enjoy most bls: turn my brain off and have zero expectations for the plot. Sometimes it work, but it didn’t with this series.I had read some reviews before watching so I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I didn’t mind the absence of the explicit love confessions, kisses and what not. After watching the trailer I thought this might be my best Chinese bl ever. I dropped it after ep 5.
A man (one of main leads) with a supposedly bodyguard agency has time to follow another man(his would be love interest) 24/7. He is doing it coz his sister asked him to. You see , the sister is so entitled and can’t take no for answer. If she can’t convince you to be with her based on her own merit, she will ask her brother to follow you around till you go mad crazy and just give in. I guess some people found his actions cute. But I did find them creepy and fkng annoying. Especially since the man had said explicitly and shown with his actions that he wants nth to do with the sister. I want my men to be together eventually but I care about how they come to be together.
I also kind felt like the music was all over place. I mean let me find the scene enjoyable or emotional whatever for myself don’t put songs all over to manipulate me.

Too painful to watch
I’m usually hesitant to watch Thai bl, the acting, the plot doesn’t do it for me. However I’ve watched some that are actually good, could even rewatch them.This series is just too painful to watch. Everyone’s acting is cringe asf and all over the place. I get it’s fiction but they try to act a bit like normal people. I know somethings are meant as comic relief but no, it’s a no for me.

BL where? ?
This one doesn’t need the bl tag.It’s just b without the l 😂
Maybe an action bromance could be the right genre for it not bl.
To be fair watching the first episode I seriously thought I was gonna like this. I’m already very picky with bls, I can count with my fingers the number of Thai bls I’ve watched. I really wanted to like this one but felt 🥱
I didn’t see any hint at romance between the main leads, perhaps it gets better I’ll never know dropped on ep 3.
Don’t get me wrong, I can watch a good bromance or any story as long as there’s sth for me to enjoy, well this one was kinda hard to like. Kudos for trying though. I guess I should just stick to reading manhwas

I tried
Before anyone accuses me of disliking this drama just because I mostly watch BL, hear me out 🙂I first knew the male lead from Addicted, but I was genuinely open to watching his non-BL work.
The first episode was already a bit underwhelming, but I still decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, things went downhill fast. There’s a plotline where some random guy who isn’t even particularly convincing manages to coerce his father into giving him 100,000 RMB (around 14k USD). That’s an insane amount of money to just hand over so easily. Unsurprisingly, the same guy keeps scamming them for even more. That whole arc felt completely illogical to me, and honestly, it was enough to make me drop the drama.
On top of that, there’s basically zero chemistry between the main leads. The female lead is constantly flexing her non-existent muscles and beating people up. I’m all for female empowerment, but please make it believable. There’s no way someone with her physique is realistically taking down four grown men in a modern drama. Maybe I could suspend disbelief if this were a wuxia or fantasy setting but here, it just doesn’t work.
Overall, the plot lacked logic, the romance didn’t land, and the characters didn’t convince me. It just wasn’t for me.

Maybe just not my kind of series
Wait a minute, you telling me heavy make up can cover that kind of acne? I guess I should work on my make up skills.I personally believe that it’s ridiculous to treat people badly based on their looks seeing that we never get to choose our looks. If you are good looking it’s not an achievement since you didn’t earn your looks they are just a gift of Mother Nature. So I really did sympathize with the female lead for having to take all that crap from bad people just because of her looks. I just didn’t like how it seemed like her problems will be superficially solved by make up. I never got past the first episode so I can’t really say much about the entire drama.

logic out of the window
Bromance well abou to find out.I prefer watching Chinese bromance because at least I kow the story wont be centered on some boring romance.
Im only on ep4 and I already have so many complaints, where do I even start.

Couldn’t even finish one episode
I’ve not watched anything with the fl. I tried one an episode of another show she’s in, didn’t like her acting there, so dropped it. I wanted to give her another chance but oh boy, I still finding her acting and those of others very cringey. 😬 that’s just my opinion, if you loved this good for you.Was this review helpful to you?
