Just a really simple love story
Well the whole story is 2 guys who had a bad breakup end up connecting cz of a wrong number and fall in love. The whole series has 3 actors 2 leads and 1 ex. It was a nice light watch. Not like wow soo good not like ugh soo bad. There's really nothing more i can say about this. You can watch it but not watching it won't make a differenceWas this review helpful to you?

Went downhill after episode 1
I watched this while it was airing. The episode 1 was soo good i was like I'm gonna wait till it's done and then watch if cz i don't wanna torture myself with curiosity.So i watched after it aired🙃 and damn i am soo disappointed. The acting is good, the direction... well it's above average and the plot had potential but from episode 2 it kinda lacked the emotional depth. The episodes had no progress in the plot it from ep 2 to 6 it was like they were just showing their past.. they didn't show hiro falling in love properly nor did they show his conflict of guilt and revenge... and even after he realised the truth there was no redemption. They kinda just got back together. Also natsuo... i get it's his personality but it was like he had no other personality other than being a hyperactive pushover. No matter what hiro or anyone did there was not a hint of sadness or anything. So it was like ep 1 hiro decided to date natsuo for revenge... ep 2 to 6 it's just them dating and glimpse of the past which was repetitive.. ep 7 natsuo realised the truth ep 8 get back together. It was as plain as that. I just forwarded the whole thing.
I won't say it's bad but it was not good either. Not watching it won't make a difference.

ROME RAFFY RULED THIS SEASON
After OF S1 I really didn't wanna watch this cz of how messy the season 1 was but i gotta give credits to the comment section with all the characters interacting that made me give this one a go. Anyone who is wondering if you should watch this one? YES you should. It's not as messy as season 1 and is more digestible more like a watered down season 1. We get 1 cross couple kiss which is from an angle so uk the actors didn't kiss🤣. The plot is pretty close to season 1.RomeRaffy being SandRay from season 1 where Raffy has a huge crush on Jack while Rome just unconditionally likes Raffy like Sand liked Ray. Their story is probably the best one among the 3 with proper build and character development. When i started the drama i absolutely HATED RAFFY but now that the drama ended i absolutely LOVE HIM🤭 his character just grew soo well throughout the story.
ArnoldTua were practically TopMew of this season wity Tua being the virgin who ends up falling Arnold who is "not loyal" to him. Their plot was pretty simple so i was enjoying it until mid season i.e. the climax🙄 i was expecting things to actually happen like how Top actually slept with Boston but then nah it was a small misunderstanding (a really stupid one) which blew up to the point that i was like "bro it's not a big deal". So they went from being my favorite couple to an ok kinda couple. The climax is the reason i rated this drama a 9 cz i felt they needed something solid cz that was just stupid. They probably did it cz they wanted to play safe after the backlash the season 1 received.
Coming to JackDean🙄🙄 the BostonNick of this season. Dean was kinda Boston but more pitiful n sad kinda. Jack was a Jackass. For the 1st time in my history of being a BL fan have i ever truely wished for a couple to get a bloody sad ending and break up was in their case. I've even rooted for black flags but jack is just a BIG NO. Jack doesn't have much presence in the 1st half he's kinda a washed out character compared to others who had strong presence in the series but if u pay attention u can notice how he was never a supportive bf and just wanted a toy, someone who'd listen to him, praise him and worship him which is what dean is🙄. I absolutely HATE that they got a happy ending n ik that man hasn't changed a bit even after all this he's only back cz he couldn't find someone like Dean😑 they're definitely gonna keep breaking up in the future.
Coming to Boston. All that hype about him bringing chaos 🙄🙄 nah nothing as such happened🤣🤣🤣. The entire series i was like now he's gonna cause problem but then bro became a green flag and left🤣🤣🤣
Anyways although i do appreciate season 1 for it's risk and amazing writing this was more digestible although i felt it needed a bit more now that we hv watched season 1 and are kinda ready to tolerate cross couple interactions. I've rated this higher than season 1. Watch it guys it's good

Literally the live action of the webtoon JINX minus the NC
I am not sure why we don't see credits to Jinx but this is literally Jinx to the core. They have switched up the sport probably cz they had a hard time finding a lead as buff as JK to cast but they've kept the eyebrows. They've switched the grandma to brother. Potato is now a photographer and the actor is an artist. The plot remains the same but cz they've removed NCs they've had to make some minor changes.The NCs are barely there so JK doesn't seem as bad as the webtoon he seems like a normal tsundre ML who is unable to express his feeling🤭🤭 which is kinda cute. The only reason i am giving this an 8 is cz i love the webtoon a lot especially the boxing and the granny... so the change kinda makes me uncomfortable. Overall it's a good drama but the acting needs a little work in some places

Might not be realistic but beautiful. Sometimes simple is more than enough.
I started this drama cz as someone new to this fandom i didn't know AouBoom were not the main characters of this drama. Although i was not happy about the fact that they were not the leads and u never knew GreatInn i gave it a go and ngl i adore both pairs. The plot might not be realistic in the areas where you can see a lot of people are quite open to accept gay couples and none of the leads are scared of being gay. I'd say it's unique. Usually when it comes to historical gay romance it's either super sad or a sad ending. This drama was definitely not sad. It was slow, beautiful and calming to watch. The best part was it didn't bore me dispite being this slow. I've not watched the ending yet but I've read it's a happy ending and some comments say its a forced happy ending, even if it's true I'm glad they tried something new and actually did a good job at it. "The most beautiful count" was also historical and unrealistic n people had no problem there not sure why it was a problem here.Also I'd like to specially mention how beautiful GreatInn looked in this drama (sadly we'll never see it again). Inn just looked drop dead gorgeous i couldn't take my eyes off him. I liked how they were opposite of each other but in a subtle way. One thought realistically one went with his heart.
As for AouBoom although they had small screentime they stole the show everytime they came on screen. This kinda made me wish for a drama where Boom would play soft boy cz usually he is kinda tough in all his dramas. I feel both their roles were different from what we usually see. Aou the obssessed lover and Boom the one dealing with him🤭
Overall so far I love this drama.
Edit: i finished the drama. The ending is actually pretty good. Not sure what others were expecting from a historical BL. They clearly explained what and how things changed in the 5 year time skip and them moving in together is the best ending they can give us because not only was gay romance illegal but also frowned upon back in the day. If it was a sad ending you guys would have cried about wanting a happy one and when they give you a happy one you guys say it doesn't make sense. Not every historical BL needs to be pure tragic torture like "love in the moonlight" this was good too..i probably liked this much more.

Pretty close to the webtoon version
It's pretty close to the webtoon but yeah the webtoon has more depth. I loved the chemistry between the leads and visuals too. It's a well made bl that's all i can say. Its cute and can make ur heart flutter.Haha my fav character here was seung jin. He was not that noticeable in the webtoon but here he had my heart as a fanboy🤭🤭.. ahhh i wish the 2nd couple got a clear ending though or I'd love spin off with their love story..
I think this drama was on par with many good thai bl. Even in the NC scenes. The actors had great chemistry and i loved the whole green flag arc. No one was toxic and the story had right balance of fluff and conflicts.
Overall loved it!!

I regret not watching this sooner
I didn't watch this for a long time cz the seme had blond hair. I expected it to be like a perv x innocent troupe. Finally gave it a chance to see if i liked it. IT WAS SOO DAMN GOOD. Loved every bit of it.I even read a bit of the manga and i think this is one of the dramas where i like the drama more than the manga. I liked that they changed them being FWB to fake boyfriends instead. Also i liked that they turned this into sweet pure one sided love to fake relationship to real relationship.
One thing i didn’t like was that in the drama yuki's acting is too dependent on Asami while in the manga yuki is naturally talented and they get into that relationship cz he was not sure if he was gay and he felt he lacked experience in romance. He couldn't do it with a girl so he goes to the gay bar but here they changed that a bit.
But overall i loved everything else they changed in the drama especially how asami treasured yuki.. in the manga well.... he did treasure him but it didn't make my heart flutter much. Like here he's a green forest but in the manga he's a green flag.

Had potential but kinda became draggy and round about
Sigh i really don't know when I'm gonna finish this one. I've already put it on hold it idk 5 or 6 times cz it's just like next prince or probably worse. Too draggy. Every scene is dragged for no reason. For some reason bank does look kinda awkward doing NC scenes but other than that he's doing a good job playing the innocent uke role. So the problem is not the actors its the horrible writing.For some reason bank changes his cloths had this weird NC scene effect🤣🤣 with all the blurs and music wtf that was a makeover scene.
Anyways i think it would have been a good story if they had just not dragged it and I'm already half way through the series they have not bothered to address or even hint us about the dreams🙃🙃 they just keep giving us random flashes of that dream and those flashes make no sense and are not giving us a glimpse of that story either. Even when they showed the complete flashback it made no sense. Lot of scenes especially after ep 5 made no sense or were kinda fillers
Ngl it started off great as an office romance between a student and his secret admirer. It went good for a while the flasbacks kinda gave us a sense of curiosity like what happened in the previous life? Why are they having these dreams? What are they trying to fix? Etc.
Then the drama just goes downhill. The entire design thief plot was uninteresting and kinda draggy. The past life reveal is in the last 3 episodes so the rest of the episodes pretty much has no progress. You'll realise that the past life is not exactly past life but kinda like the story of a part of their souls? And the whole point of that was to free Salin's original soul. Then comes the real WTF moment Original sun actually saw salin as his sister and rejects her cz he loves someone else so salin kills sun's lover and his soul ends up trapped unable to reincarnate but then how tf did sun and salin fall in love in this life??? Shouldn't sun fall for the other girl again?? Worse the original sun also falls for original salin in her absence 🙃🙃 also why n what was the original sun protecting current salin from? Bro his orignal soul killed ur lover🙄. Well that was a mess but then they got a happy ending so i guess we're good. Damn MosBank really need better scripts cz wtf was this.
I had 0 interest in the gl couple. Initially i was curious but their plot was pretty much repetitive.
My favorite would be the 2nd couple SamYo. I liked their playful banter, the chemistry everything . I skipped most of the drama but not their scenes. They have good chemistry and proper pacing too and their story is damn cute❤️❤️❤️
Overall should you watch it? Well you can watch it but it wouldn't make a difference if you didn't. Personally u can skip it.

It's good but kinda incomplete. The comments are just pure hate
Unlike the comments the story was actually about parallel worlds. I literally thought the whole parallel world was just Cir's imagination thanks to the comments. Cir is definitely a green flag his only flaw is that he's a coward. He was not manipulative or anything he just told 1 lie to get close to Phu and could never confess the truth dispite multiple chances. Also i don't think Cir didn't pay for his mistake. He did when Phu left him twice for the same reason. For Cir who has loved phu for 5 years that's his greatest punishment.The only person who was not punished would be Cir's mom. I felt that and a happy ending for his brother was needed to make the drama complete.
I really loved the 2nd couple a lot but the random introduction of mind reading capability was a little abrupt and unclear like they hinted Cir had the capability which then was not bought up as the story progressed.
Also i have a couple of questions that were left unanwered in the drama.
1st why is the Cir from 1 time line responsible to guide Cir from the 2nd timeline. Did they get a sad ending in one of the timelines so theyre doing this?
What does he mean when he says Phu always survives? But in one of the world one of them actually dies (in the flashback)
Why and where did this loop even start? Why is it Cir and not Phu?
How did jin get his mind reading ability?
Also why is black cir in the time room? Cir does occasionally go into Black Cir's world which he mentioned but then why is black cir never shown in his own world instead only in ghe white room?
I think the drama needed more context behind scenes. But the story was pretty interesting it can confuse u if u dont spoil yourself that cir lied about being from the parallel world. I spoiled myself so i thoroughly enjoyed it. It kept me engaged and was interesting to watch although u get clarity on the plot in ep 7 and 8.

Not everything has to be deep to be good but this one lacked depth and was ok
When i 1st watched ep 1 it reminded me of PPW from fish upon the sky i was like it's a good drama why the hate? But as i watched more episodes i kinda get what people are saying. The story on its own is not bad. Its okay, it's a story with a cliché red flag ML and dub-con. I feel people who like green flag leads should just skip this drama.Well that's not the main issue here. The drama does tell us the story but it doesn't give us the details. Like when did Nu fall for Sun at what point? Sun's redemption arc etc. I feel the should have increased the number of episodes added more depth to the characters. Showing the leads go from hating each other to secret crush to 1 night stand to betrayal to love. That would have made the drama much better.
Overall it's an okay drama. Could be better. You can skip it doesn't make a difference

A typical romcom with secret crush
I found this cz i was looking for something similar to "star in my mind" and when I watched it probably cz the leads were the same it felt like i was watching the same. So i put it on hold it after a while it gave the same vibes.I'm back again now i feel it's not that bad. It's a sweet romcom. Just don't watch this if you've been watching fluff for a while. This is something you'd like as a stress buster. I'm watching it along with "goddess bless u from death" so it helps me balance out my emotions on one side i have this calm and sweet romcom and other is horror🤭
At one point it's just them going on dates for multiple episodes... there's pretty much nothing going on. This should have been an 8 episode drama instead of 12
I'd just say if u watch it as a stress buster u would like it if not you'll get bored. I'm dropping it. Tried 3 times but i just couldn't watch all the fluff with little to no plot.

It's magical and funny kinda gives off old children's movie vibes but the editing issues are obvious
I was kinda expecting this to be on the serious romance side like "goblin" or "my demon" or "my love from another side". Ngl jeff's outfit bothered me for a while😆😆 in the 1st ep. I was bro he's an alien why he dressed like a sky kids villain. The explanation helped a lot.The drama will remind you of old children's movies like spy kids, charlie and the chocolate factory kind. I really liked the graphics and visuals and all the magic going on. Unfortunately it's not subbed yet and the drama is in Thai, Korean and English. I can understand english and korean but thai is a problem for me so I'm gonna rewatch once subbed.
The aliens costume was not my favorite but i did like Raon's minions. They're adorable 🤭🤭
My fav character soo far would be princess. I also have a new ship which i think is gonna sail i.e. the princess and the police
When he said "Why can't a man be a princess? If you're handsome you're a prince, if you're pretty you're a princess. Like me... Well you're... definitely a prince *wink*" kyaaaaaaaa i love him i love him i love him❤️❤️❤️ just please don't be wicked.
Overall 2 episodes in and i think i like it. Hope the actors get paid for this though cz it's unfair.
Gonna update my review after i finish once and after watching with subs once again. Until then ciao
Edit: finished the drama. It is really not a serious one, more like a children's movie than a BL. We get 1 kiss which was just lips touching😆. I feel it could be a lot better if it was released back then with proper music and editing cz it's pretty obvious that they had a bunch of clips that the editing team tried their best to join without any creativity.
For the first time in my entire life have i seen a human leave earth for their partner. That was new and unexpected. I liked all the couples. CopPrincess being my fav although they barely get 30 mins in the series. I feel the series was okay, not the best. You won't miss out if you don't watch it. It's not everyone's cup of tea and the trailer and series are totally different 😆😆 not once did i see Raon in normal cloths.

It's good but needs more depth and also kinda incomplete
I do feel the story could have some depth to it but considering it's 8eps and soo much on the plate I get it. I liked it but i feel it could have been better, a little more redemption, a little more depth. I did cry a little but i feel they could have made me brawl like LITML. There are things that kinda feel incomplete for me rn.- Like they showed the mom being with gaysorn all that time as a butterfly so does that mean mom bought scent to gaysorn? Which is fine but why scent? Not like she met him as a kid and liked him or something (a back story would hv helped
- mata being able to talk to souls, she said she could do it if it was a muda person and they had a belonging of theirs. Busaba's necklace was with gaysorn the whole time and her soul too. Why didn't she talk
- I feel they could have added something to Mekhin like make him a surprise villian or Tawan's end game cz initially i thought it would be MekhinRay but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen and Mekhin liking gaysorn again that is also being left incomplete cz we hv 1 more episode
- they could have added a stronger intent behind ray helping gaysorn. Probably use his affection towards his mom or else his hatred towards scent... make scent a bit more negative someone who just uses people and used ray too
- a bit more on the part where scent falls for gaysorn instead of that timeskip with flashes of what happened etc.
- bussaba going back after 4 years when phukin told her he'd leave after her..no matter how late he would be 2 years would be max before she assumed he was dead. Especially when he warned her about kusuma
- i am still curious how phukin extracted the scent from busaba. Cz he extracted 3 bottles of it while scent could barely get 1. He obviously didn't torture her.
- the last episode felt rushed with the way it ended. They show scent collapsing but then it's a skip to him owning a land with flowers which was kinda incomplete
- i didn't really see why scent decided to go back to gaysorn when he was soo guilty about the parent's death
I really loved MekhinRay though although their characters would be much better with more depth. Ray was my favorite ❤️❤️❤️
I'd say it's a 7 for me rn I'd give it a 10 if they made this a 12 ep drama with more depth.

Liked this more than H2H
After H2H i didn't have high expectations from this couple but looks like they do have some good dramas in their basket. I really liked this story. I was expecting it to be more supernatural like SurfJava's story but turns out this one is pretty normal. Just a jid pretending to be a fortune teller cz he can't make friends. This reminded me of My school president in a lot of ways. My heart kinda ached for Mavin other than him being bad with people, people hating him cz he is good at something and doesn't seem to be trying hard just felt unfair and relatable but unfortunately irl people don't regret doing such things like the camp kids did.Overall i liked it the only thing that bothered me is that we didn't get a timeskip to see if they stayed together after Err returned.. the ending kinda felt complete n incomplete to me
