Potential lost cz of poor plot
I watched this show after watching the reel where the main couple 1st meet. Mint is getting bullied and knight kinda protects him.. so i was expecting something really fun to watch like probably a very cunning top and innocent bottom or a love hate relationship like ArcArm had in perfect 10 liners. I start with this drama and yes it seemed fine for like 1 or 2 episodes not that great not that bad. Then they reveal that the reason mild's brother doesn’t approve of knight is cz he 🍇ed mild while he was drunk and during this conversation they kinda show a flashback of the incident and mild is kinda traumatized. So what would you expect? Especially when the topic is so sensitive. You'd expect them to reveal the culprit or a really big redemption arc correct? (I did find it wierd that mild was not affected by it the whole time until the brother brought it up like he didn't show any kind of rejection or fear towards anyone but we can ignore that)....Well so what do they do?? They just change the whole plot to that being a whole misunderstanding and that never happened 🙄 (then what's with the flashback and mild being traumatized?). Like they just dump that down the trash. Knight says its a misunderstanding and they run away for a private honeymoon WTF🙃🙃🙃
THE ONLY REDEEMING THING ABOUT THIS SHOW WAS THE 2ND COUPLE BUT EVEN THEIR STORY WAS SOO DRAGGY. I had to skip soo much to complete this thing. It was really bad the 1 star is just for the cast and the 2nd couple everything else was pure BS. I've watched soo many bls but this is the 1st one i absolutely hated. Not 1 thing i liked about this drama

You'll get all the sweetness you missed in the prequel here?
It's a pretty chill special episode with nothing much going on except showing how everyone's life ends up. It's pretty cute and fluff🤭🤭.. i loved it cz it was a happy ending... a good one at that.. but I'm not someone who likes a lot of fluff so i gave it a 9. If you watched the prequel watch this you're gonna enjoy and be 100% satisfied with the endingWas this review helpful to you?
Not bad but not great short drama
The drama is about this guy who judges people based on their sign and that's the whole plot. There's close to nothing except they meet and fall in love. I literally watched the drama for 1 cute drunk scene🤭. There's literally nothing more to say about this except it's an average story but atleast the actors did a good job. It didn't have the usual awkward acting we see in short dramas.Was this review helpful to you?

AMAZING!!!! BUT THEY BETTER GIVE US A SEASON 2
When i 1st started it i didn't have much hopes from this cz of the dubbing but thank god i did. I feel the series is really well executed. I love how the power bottom actually looks like one cz i think this is the 1st CBL where I've seen a muscular and badass bottom. Yes we had sheng but... he was also kinda a damsel in distress 🤭. Overall it's good but i feel this really needs a season 2 cz a lot of questions are not answered like who killed the sister, the BIL and the police kid? What happens to Lui yi? How is chusan and lui yi's life after this mess? What happens to the 2nd couple?? Etc.I really hope they do a season 2 although there's a risk cz this is a cbl & chang zi was also removed from pursuit of jade for acting in this drama... i hope they don't end up like the other cbl couples❤️🥺

6 traumatized people overcoming it and finding love
Love like my bike was one of my favorites when it came out the drama was pretty good until episode 5 but then episode 6 and 7 made me go WTH but the final episode made up for that.I really liked all 3 couples NabnuengSailom, TawanDindin and NavaSky with NabnuengSailom being my favorite. I felt if they just divided the episodes for the 3 couples it'd have been much better. Also they picked up too many topics to cover in 8 eps
When it comes to NNSailom story the plot was going in a pretty good flow with Sailom recovering from his trauma. Everything was pretty realistic although i kinda was expecting Sailom opening up to NN about his past about his past to be more emotional like LITA but that didn't happen. Also i didn't like the exes respawn at the end although it did make sense why she did in the last episode it was cz Sailom was gonna go back to America. Also i felt NN mother's arc was totally not needed.
Coming to TawanDindin all they did was kiss slap till the end😆😆 i was expecting a bit more on the romance side from them and the pilot issue gradually being fixed throughout the show instead of the end.
NavaSky these 2 made me cry ugly 😭😭 i was least interested in their story until the Nava's problem was revealed. Thankfully they got a happy ending.
I feel instead of the fillers they added in ep 6 and 7 they could have just worked on the main plot and added more dept so that's the reason i removed 2 points. Overall it's good although not as good as LITA and bed friend. It's good in it's own way

Had potential which died down later
I watched the trailer and here i am i know ep 1 is too soon to judge but this is the 1st bl I've watched where the story is from the top's pov. Usually we see it from bottom's pov. Him falling in love and not being reciprocated blah blah.. so yeah that was new for me.The kids especially Nene🥺🥺 she's soo adorable always helping her uncle unknowingly 🤭🤭. I also feel there is 99% chances I'm gonna love the second couple more than the 1st couple based on their interaction so far🤣🤣
I think I'm gonna enjoy this. I'll update this comment once I'm done watching this series
Edit: I'm at ep 5 and I'm bored cz its just repetitive Than asking Akin the reason he left him nd Akin ignoring him. I find Akin annoying like he is constantly doubting Than there's nothing Than could do in this situation.
I feel akin doesn't deserve than and than should end up with his business partner instead. The only thing saving this drama is the 2nd couple.

The most adorable thai bl
I watched this series obviously cz of the hype. I was thinking it'd be the typical ceo x poor guy troupe but damn i was wrong. Tee???? Typical ceo😆😆😆😆 there's nothing that's normal about that creature. Everytime he came on screen even the saddest and most romantic moments turned into comedy😆. Worse everytime he opened his mouth i was embarrassed for him. I was like BRO NOOOOOOOO but then thank god he met peach😆😆 and peach liked the weird him.As for our dear peach ahem ahem. Everytime he came on screen my soul was cleansed😌😌 when phuwin asked us to give his character some attention i was like "oh i guess peach is like a boring typical character" and i was wrong again he was probably the most angelic green flag I've ever seen. This is the first time I've seen phu play a soft boy without hitting pond😆 obviously.
As for our RomeMhok ❤️ loved the whole ep 5 and 6 especially 6... the way they all get to live normal life with their lovers..
Overall I'm probably gonna watch this on air and torture myself waiting 😅
Edit: that was beautiful. The series was just perfect. I have nothing to say. Everyone got the ending they deserved. I've got no complaints but I'd like a MhokRome sequel🤭

It's bad but addictive
I am watching these 10 min ver of this bl and my review is based on that. For the 1st 2 episodes i felt the drama was going okay and it made me wonder why the rating was soo low. Like it's a classic thai lakorn plot. A twin does something and another ends up paying for it which is kinda violent and rapey but then things come around and we have a kind of redemption. It reminded me of "Kluen Chiwit" if someone has watched this it was pretty popular a decade ago except there's no twins here just misunderstanding.Here the drama started with 2 brothers venus and saturn. Venus being the nice one and Saturn being the rude one and our ML Pakin confuses Venus for Saturn and kidnaps him & tortures him. I was fine till here but then he just rapes him out of nowhere. Now okay they added that scene but they need to handle it too right?? Venus is traumatized by Kin strangling him but not by the rape🙄 like what??? There was no point in the drama i saw kin falling for venus i only saw him lusting for him and the worst part is Tammy who appears to be a character who is sympathetic towards Venus is acting like rape is them hooking up cz they're attracted to each other. Also she lives next door how could she not hear Venus screaming when it happens twice???
Another BS thing that happened was Lookkai taking Venus to his mom after he and his bf decided to rebel against her🙄 and then they did rebel too then he helped his mom and then is like "don't hurt venus" idk all i did was laugh in this scene😆
Anyways it may sound bad but i think it's a watchable and addictive bl. The actors definitely deserve better screenwriting. Watch it but trigger warning it's stockholm syndrome 😆😆 its bad and addictive

Slowburn at it's finest
I am a huge fan of the webtoon so obviously i wanted to watched the adaptation. I feel this was done beautifully. Although the webtoon is still ongoing i think i like how they took things in the drama. Sang Yan has been my crush since secret love webtoon. Yes we have Duan Jia Shu but Sang Yan was my bias. When i read the novel and got to know more about him. I was in love.The entire drama is just beautiful. I don't think my words can express how deep, beautiful and peaceful their love is. It's like this soft warm hug. I cried a lot but I'm happy everyone is happy. Do watch it don't miss out on this.

Overall it was good but could have been better especially with TimPai
I am someone who really likes contract marriage, scam marriage, forced marriage etc so obviously this one made me have high expectations and to some point it also met my expectations. Especially the initial episodes where Tim and Yu are scamming Pai and North. I totally, absolutely loved the writing that we had for YuNorth. They had this wedding and then he realized he's a scammer and Yu makes up for it, immediately apologized and divorced to show north he loved him and accepted all the punishment. It was really touching. The problems with his mother was also handled perfectly with Yu chosing north over his mother.But in case of TimPai the story kinda went downhill after the scam was revealed. Everything was perfect , tim realized he liked pai and decided to start fresh but unfortunately that doesn't happen. The thing that bothered me was Pai gave up his entire life to protect Tim, he gave up on his career and family but what did Tim do? Instead of apologizing and making up like Yu did he instead harrasses Pai and exploits his weakness. He does make up for things later but those 2 or 3 episodes where he is just forcing Pai to stay married was annoying. Worse Pai's family who Pai dedicated his life to didn't bother looking for him or checking on him until Tim asked them to🙄 like wtf. Even Tim's family was the same. They abandon their son who was just out of college with a huge debt and leave the country and then blame him for becoming a scammer. They didn't even show up at the wedding. So that's kinda where they're at.
I felt TimPai's story was not used to it's full potential. Although Mark did make me cry a lot during this series. I felt it could be a lot better cz i was here for the drama, begging and yearning after the scam reveal but that was kinda meh.
Overall it's a good watch but could be amazing. Gmmtv just sucks at screenplay

Totally get the hype. It's just soo good
Despite being an old BL this one is really good. I loved the story, the plot, the cast, the acting. Literally everything about this drama was soo good. The unrequited love, the yearning everything was totally on point. I loved the clueless x cunning troupe🤭🤭 poor shu yi never got to know shi de staged the entire locked in the infirmary just so he'd get to stay with him.Yes the drama is not perfect cz why the hell are they randomly talking in Japanese? Also what about Shi De's dad they did hint that he was told his son in gay but they stopped right there? Also what about the doc's love story? And just curious how did the 2nd couple fall in love.. well there's a season 2 so I'm hoping for answers. This is the 1st time a season 1 has left us wity questions for season 2 instead of giving us a clear happy ending. So I'll give it a 9.5.

One of the best bl mini series I've ever watched
I really really loved this drama. All 3 couples were soo damn adorable ❤️.This is the 1st time ever ive watched a series where there's power struggle between siblings but they love each other and none of them want power but just their share 😆😆. Also i loved the bonding between the brothers and with their partners too. It's a really entertaining light watch that will keep u hooked. Watch it. It's really good😌
Minus 0.5 cz they kept switching between Taiwanese and korean and everyone could understand even people who were not part of the family 😆

The number of times I've rewatched this is unhealthy ?
I really love this BL. for the 1st time i love both couples a lot and equally. 6 eps per couple was perfect. Their story didn't feel draggy or too fast paced it was just right... sadly their next projects didn't live up to this but till i liked "love sea" too... I'm trying to watch "boys next world" but it's kinda confusing.Coming back, i liked payu's cunning nature and rain's innocence damn they're soo cute together 🤭🤭 loved all that teasing. As for sky and prai😭😭😭 damn never expected it to be soo good. I've never seen a drama that showed and handled trauma this well... ive watched soo many bls but none lived up to this in that area❤️

Surprisingly good. Made me want more...
I've already watched nearly all the good dramas. So i picked this up thinking it was not a BL.😅 My assumption was it's a drama with him avoiding guys and nothing else but then i realised we had side couples😭. Everytime a side couple appeared i wanted more of each of them😭😭😭 can we get a complete drama with the otheer couple's stories...Then i was like no way Mob is gonna end up with someone but then kikuchi got him🤭🤭 not complaining but i kinda wanted mob to end up with the white flower guy from the bar..
It was surprisingly good. Although i read the next season summary that kikuchi dumps mob for his ex🙄

It's a good drama for the 1st time the comment section was wrong
So yep i kept this on my watch list for a long time cz of the bad reviews like "bad plot", "too boring" and what not and picked this up when i had nothing to watch and was genuinely surprised!!! IT WAS SOO GOOD!!! it's more on the realistic side and not all pink and roses so i guess thats the reason people didn't like it? And also cz just like "love in the air" fort is the healer and pete is the hurt one here? That's what I'd assume.The plot was amazing. Yes it was on the serious side but as someone who doesn't like serious dramas this one kept me hooked and i finished it in a day😅. The acting, story, visuals, music everything about this was good. Yes you might find some similar (just a little bit like 5%) with love in the air but nah this is a different plot totally. Here fort is not rich and not someone who can fix everything for pete.
People calling pete's character annoying. You would only understand if you went through something similar. You can't get over things just cz prince charming showed up. He was trying his best and you would notice it if you watched. I'd just suggest if you liked their story in "love in the air" please watch this. You'll like it but don't expect the romcom vibes you got from BossNoeul's pair here. Watch it only if you liked FortPete's story there and if you're into light stuffs this is not for you. I don't understand when people watch dramas which are not their style and rate it low. There's a difference between not being someone's type and not being a good drama.
Anyways don't listen to the comments and go watch it!!!
