Poor writing, not so good acting but entertaining for the chemistry and seaside background
It is clearly a MAME project: the scenario is pretty weak in handling the trauma arcs of the characters, there are some hot moments and cheesy lines, the actors chemistry is rather convincing and despite all the flaws, it is entertaining overall. The best part of the drama is the introduction on the island, when the characters are having sexy time and banter nearby the sea. Once the plot move to the city, the family drama is really not addressed properly, making the story less compelling.The characterization of the main protagonists is rather poor. It is working when their dynamics is light and on the fluffy side with a dog vs. cat energy that I always enjoy. But unfortunately, the way the main characters handle their internal turmoil and blockage when the story is getting more heavy does not make a lot of sense. I particularly found the evolution of Tongrak badly paced. Out of the two main leads, Mahasamut was clearly the best character. I was also not onboard with the secondary couple: I did not feel the chemistry between the actresses but I must admit that the script does not help them...Given the ending, it felt like a loss of time for the viewer to have so many screentime for their storyline.
Similarly to my predilection in terms of characters, I preferred Fort's acting to Peat's performance. I enjoyed more Fort's golden retriever energy than the closed off / childish character side of Peat's character. Though they have good chemistry, both need to work and improve their game when they play more angsty scenes. The way Peat portrayed trauma was quite unconvincing and Fort felt a bit too light for the heavy moments.
In terms of production, there were some nice seaside background. Those were nice and relaxing to watch, with the soothing noises of the waves from the sea in multiples scenes. The production was more standard in the city environment, suitable enough for the storytelling but nothing really special. Soundtrack could have been better as well.
I would not recommend this to people unless you are a fan of MAME work. It has for sure entertaining value and the two males leads have a good chemistry. However, the script is really poor in the way it pictures trauma and how the characters evolve through the relationship. There are a lot of artificial barriers to their love and therefore the series felt lacking because of the writing. It is even worse regarding the secondary couple arc.

Underwhelming overall... Disappointing as I expected more given the meta aspect of the story
Not going to sugar-coat it, I unfortunately did not enjoy this Japanese BL series. The story was really slow paced and honestly, there were too many episodes for what it was trying to say. The storytelling was super dull with the overall energy of the protagonists pretty low. I do enjoy contemplative show but then I need to either truly enjoy characters and their evolution, or just vibe with the atmosphere of the series...That was clearly not the case here.The characters were pretty unlikable. I did not really get why they liked each other for most of the series which prevented me to really root for their relationship. I did not believe in the chemistry between the actors, it was quite lackluster. The two main actors have quite meta roles, as they play (talented) BL actors. Sadly enough, the drama they play on screen is even more insipid than the "real" storyline. The only character I enjoyed was a support role played by Nagumo Shoma who insufflated a bit of life to the drama.
The production was okay for the genre. Nothing outstanding. It made me believe at first that it would be a more gritty and dark story but my hope quickly died and it remained very tame until the end of the show. In a few scenes, it provided some interesting insights on how the filmmaking of a BL drama works and I wish they would have developed it much more. The soundtrack was completely forgettable.
I would not recommend this to people as they are more interesting BLs out there. The premise is quite similar to "BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen" (which I overall liked). I therefore expected to enjoy "25 Ji, Akasaka de". Unfortunately, rather than providing a more mature take on the "BL actors falling in love with each other" trope, it featured a super slow and boring story, with miscommunication / non-communication being the focus point of the relationship. I would suggest to watch "BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen" rather than this one.

Kind of meh (or meow lol)
Not gonna lie, I enjoyed some tidbits of it but the overall vibe was too sugary for me. There were some very touching moments but a lot of elements were cringe to me. Some aspects felt cute at first but as episodes passed, it entered more and more into full cringe territory. There were also some parts of the series that made no sense and felt very illogical, and the fact that it is not the talking cats says a lot. I also found the conflicts resolution quite average.That being said, the acting by Khaotung and First was good. Khaotung brought me to tears at a couple points of the series and that's always worth it to see him act his heart out.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a fluffy rom-com. I found it cringy and unbelievable at times but I am surprised to have appreciated it more than I would have expected based on the premise of talking cats. In a nutshell, not my jam but you might want to give it a try, especially if you like some of the actors, as Khaotung gave again some great and emotional performances.

Very hot short BL : collecting debt was never so sexy
Let me get to the very obvious point : those two actors were so hot together than you could feel the chemistry and sex appeal ooze through the screen despite the obvious limited budget.The concept of this BL is so good with a young and almost innocent debt collector falling under the charm of his debtor in his sleazy appartment...Super original and intriguing but unfortunately the fact that it was such a short snipbit prevented the idea to be fully exploited. If it was 3-4 times longer, it would have been so good but that's probably me being very greedy.
I would recommend this to people that enjoy BL featuring cohabitation trope with great chemistry. It is super short and definitely worth a shot even if given its length and format it cannot go as deep as I would have wanted, it still pack a (hot) punch.

Frustrating BL story due to so much miscommunication but good chemistry & production
I'm quite ambivalent regarding my appreciation of this drama. I enjoyed the premise of the story...I really liked the submissive and dominant undertones and the imbalance of the relationship. It is not an healthy romance but it is for sure very compelling. However, I was also deeply annoyed by the stupidity of one of the character who is so dense that it gets very quickly ultra frustrating. I can find interesting tropes around miscommunication and I'm usually pretty receptive to jealousy plot but here I was really not convinced.I still enjoyed the series thanks mainly to the impressive performance of Higuchi Kouhei. He was the highlight of the show for me: each of his scenes were really believable, even when the scenario was at his lowest. Mashiko Atsuki was okay but not at the same level in terms of acting skills but to be fair, he played also the most frustrating character. Nevertheless, the chemistry between the two main actors was great overall and the sexy scenes were really super hot.
The quality of the production and making was pretty good with some lovely opening and ending sequences supported by a nice soundtrack. It was pop and romantic and I never skipped it.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a BL series with cohabitation trope as well as lot of sexy moments and who do not mind toxicity / red flags in the romance. If you really dislike miscommunication issue and/or really dumb/dense hero(ine), you might get very frustrated as well but as it is very short and supported by good performance, I still think its entertaining qualities outweighs its flaws.

A touching slice-of-life, more oriented towards friendship and growth than romance
I enjoyed this university BL centred around the encounter of hearing-impaired lonely Kohei and feisty Taichi. Story-wise, I found it very interesting, especially the way they introduced the characters. I loved a lot the slice-of-life aspect, the way the protagonists evolve and find their own paths thanks to each other.I wish the writing went deeper tough on the development of the romantic relationship. It was much more a friendship story than a romance: it is not a problem in itself because the story did not feel lacking but I wish they went further on many things and make the romantic questionning of the characters more convincing. In my opinion, the story could have been more profound with more time to develop better the romance while reinforcing all the personal growth the main leads went throughout the series.
I found the acting pretty good, especially Kobayashi Toranosuke who played Taichi. Nakazawa Motoki in the role of Kohei did a good job in the first half of the drama but I felt as the series progressed, he had less and less opportunities to show range while the scenario focused mainly on Taichi in the latter part. It is a bit strange to me that the script almost pushed Kohei aside in the latest episodes, with Taichi firmly taking center stage. I wish their storylines would have been better balanced in terms of narrative arc all throughout the show. Their chemistry was good but clearly more on the friendship side than on the attraction side, it was lukewarm in terms of passion but wholesome in terms of friendship.
The making was very good. The way the director filmed the actors eyes and expression was really beautiful. The introduction scene was pretty memorable and left me with a strong impression. The opening song of the series was very nice and fitting the the vibe of the drama.
I would recommend this to people looking for a tender slice-of-life japanese drama. Rather than a BL, it is a story about finding your path and opening yourself to others while seeing world in a different light. I sometimes found myself wishing that the writer either removed all the romantic aspects to spend more time on the healing and friendship parts of the story, either went all in on the romance and make it much more heart-fluttering. I liked it a lot but I would clearly not have minded to have more episodes to further expand on the future of the main characters.

Boring and empty BL story: could have been torrid but was torpid instead
This show was very disappointing on many aspects. Given its length (8 episodes of about 1 hour each), it was surprisingly boring and dragging. The first episode was quite fun (even-though non-sensical) and had some super hot scenes but the remaining of the drama felt totally flat and quite of a snore-fest. All the side plots were utterly annoying and I really cannot find any redeeming quality to the writing.I did not enjoy the chemistry between the 2 male leads. The acting was generic and average at best but the plot is to blame foremost for preventing any credible development in the relationship. Both main characters were unlikable: too much pouting from one and too much grovelling from the other...nothing was working for me. I also did not find believable at all the abrupt switch from enemies to lovers: it was impossible to understand how their feelings were developing so fast. I would have preferred them to go on a dark and more brutal path (especially given the "kinky-side" of the video) rather than this very vanilla romance which did not make sense in the context of the starting point of the show.
I would not recommend this to people, I have seen much better BL series and would advise to not waste too much time with this one.

Movie missed the mark on many aspects, wish it would have taken a much darker road!
The premise of the story is relatively bonker but is very interesting as well. The way the two main leads are bounded together as well as the mystery could have made an amazing story. Unfortunately, it failed on a lot of aspects making it very difficult for me to connect and be invested in what was happening to the characters.Acting-wise, I like a lot Zee and Nunew pairing. They are quite good in the more classical romantic moments and their chemistry is still very strong and believable. Sadly enough, I don't think they have the acting chops for some of the more "thrilling" scenes: they lacked quite a bit and it felt blank when it should have been super emotional or frightning. To be fair, they were really not helped by the scenario and the dialogs.
I enjoyed the soundtrack, there are really not a lot of songs but Nunew singing is always really beautiful and once again I truly enjoyed his voice in the movie. Regarding the filmmaking, it could have been much better. The horror factor is too limited, the overall vibe is not scary enough. The mansion is too luxurious and nice, it sets an atmosphere propice for the romance but it diminishes the fright the viewer might feel as the mystery unfolds. I wish they would have taken a very dark road rather than going for what felt as some very safe and run-of-the-mill filmmaking choices.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a BL with some horrific elements. It could have been much scarier but it is at least different from usual BL stories. Scenario could as well have been better, the idea and concept is interesting (while a bit crazy in its starting point) but the way it develops and the ending felt flat. There are better BL movies out there but if you like Zee and Nunew, it might be worth your time to see them in a very different setting than their previous drama.

Dark, toxic, flawed and wildly entertaining
This unhinged Chinese BL is a real guilty pleasure that made me go through a wild roller-coaster of emotions. Despite its final arc not meeting fully my expections, I had a such a good time watching this series ! The relationship build up was well paced and captivating with even the set up with business talks featuring interesting layers of the personality of the main characters.Fan Xiao with his obsessive and manipulative behavior might be one of the biggest red flag I have seen in dramaland making it very much impossible to actively root for the romance as you want Shu Lang to escape the trauma inflected on him by his partner and heal. Still, I was completely invested in their relationship and was always looking forward to see what was going to happen. Shu Lang, far for a damsel in distress, was a great character, with a strong backbone, making their story even more fascinating.
Both main actors did a very good job at playing those intense roles with some amazing heartbreaking scenes. Their chemistry was fiery and a big component in my enjoyment of the drama. The remainder of the cast did not really impressed me but it was alright overall, as they were mostly fading in the background of the intense romance.
I would recommend this to people that enjoy angsty and twisted romances. It has a lot of shaddy, muddy stuff and power imbalance, in the most gripping way. I was surprised at how good and intense it was : the traumas felt brutal and raws, characters being hurt so much. It is featuring a very unhealthy relationships with some elements that could be triggering and the last arc could definitely have been handled better, however the wild ride the story takes you on is worth it !

What happened?! Post-production crew working drunk is the only explanation!
Seriously, what happened ??? With the star-studded cast they had, all the production crew and project decision-makers should make amend ! I raise serious question on the sanity of the people who validated the post-production work done on this drama... So much was wrong that I will not go through one by one but still list a few (un)honorable mentions...First, why make it so difficult to introduce characters and relationships ? Instead of laying out the story set up in the last episode, wouldn't those 5 minutes be more useful at the beginning of the show ?
Second, why bother speaking about 12 "angels" if the focus is on a unique protagonist : Taesan, chief tiger? Not even the most interesting character, you got around his personality in very little time and then it is only fights, grumbling, and being in leader mode but without any dialog with his team members.
Third, why are all of the fights scenes blurring together in a really uninteresting manner? The fighters have almost no specificity in their fighting style nor special power. The few elements that differentiate them are too little, very superficial and never explored in relation to the others...Snake cannot speak, Pig is hungry, Monkey is good willing idiot, Dog is people pleasing, Horse is a fighter... That's about it. How is the viewer supposed to care about any of those characters ?!
Fourth, why have a romance so bland and so late in the story that instead of being a motor for the emotion it feels totally devoid of meaning ? It lacked chemistry and it should have been set up much earlier to have any kind of pay-off.
Fifth, where did you use the budget? Certainly not on the writing team nor on the costume department. It was mediocre at best. It takes a very specifc kind of individual to manage to make Park Hyung Sik look bad...So congrats I guess for this "achievement"?! More seriously, there were a obvious lack of care on the costumes and styling department, with wigs that felt of very poor quality, white ghostly makeup not matching neck, and so on...I'm left to ponder if all the budget went on casting big names and publicity rather than anything else...
Unfortunately, casting cannot save by themselves a drama. Writing was bad but most of all the editing of the scenes, the fact that fights or emotional sequences were cut by other non-relevant scenes, the pacing and the way the story was organized : nothing worked !!! Even the acting of actors I like and find usually good was lacking and disappointing... Among the very unsatisfactory production and post-production, the saving grace was the soundtrack with the track Salvation that I enjoyed when played at the end of each episode, mostly because it is a good song but potentially also because hearing it meant the end of an episode...
I would definitely not recommend this. If you are looking for a great ensemble cast incarnating heroic characters and gripping villains, go watch Moving. Or even The Uncanny Counter. This is so full of flaws that I still cannot imagine how it was greenlighted as such !

Really suffered from the comparison with Road To Kingdom S1 and from lackluster storytelling
Finally !!! Road to Kingdom Season 2 made it to our screen, almost 4.5 years after its amazing Season 1 released in April 2020. Season 1 was excellent, its sequel Kingdom Legendary War was properly legendary as stated in its name...That's why my expectations for this Season 2 were pretty high: unfortunately, too high for the show.There are some big flaws to this season that prevented me to enjoy it as much as I would have wanted. One of the big factor being the lackluster storytelling. There were very few "real" moments following the various teams, there were not enough sequences of them preparing for the show, training, facing issues together. There were even less moments of interactions between the various teams. It clearly prevented the viewer to get attached to the participants (unless you knew them from before the show of course). I wish the episodes (other than the finale) would have been longer (or that there would have been more missions/rounds) in order to get to know them more and to see more of the creative process.
I also wish the show focused more on vocals, I love strong performances emphasizing dance in KPOP but I also like impressive rap sections, amazing vocal parts...and here there were too few of them. It lacked LIVE vocals, there has always been backtrack music in most KPOP world but here it was so overwhelming that I could not hear the live singing (except for a few people). I also found the Mnet editing of the various performances quite bad...A lot of cut of the performances to see the reactions of the participants but not as well done as in their other survival shows that I have seen. The stages they did in front of an audience had also a much less creative camera work than when there was no audience, which is a bit of a shame.
I like a lot Taemin as an idol : he is absolutely the epitome of "idol's idol" and he seems super sweet in addition to have some real banger songs and impressive performance skills. Unfortunately, his soft-spoken demeanor was not the right choice for an MC role. It lacked attitude and punch, which for a show with kind of long sequences explaining voting rules and also announcing results, is a bit of a downer. He is totally a newbie in terms of MC jobs and he admitted during the program several time that he was anxious about his skills. I find his candor about it touching but at the same time I cannot help to think that indeed he was too green to make it interesting or exciting. I wish him well and hope he get the chance to improve in future MC roles.
I still appreciated some parts of Road To Kingdom 2, it is not all gloom fortunately. Except of a few individuals participants (like Geonu, Bain, Han Bin seen in other shows) and ONEUS (which participated in Road To Kingdom 1 but which I did not really follow afterwards), I knew very little about the teams participating : 8TURN, YOUNITE, CRAVITY, TEMPEST, THE NEW SIX and THE CREWONE. I really appreciated to have discovered them, even if it felt too little (for all the reasons I explain above). I also truly enjoyed the Ace concept put in place during this season. My fave performances were actually a couple of the ones done by the aces...It is probably the only ones I would want to rewatch if I am honest. I also felt that the various aces were the ones we get to know the most as an audience and to whom I got attached the most (probably to the detriment of interactions within groups and between teams). If they keep the concept (which I hope they do), the production team need to find a way to make it more balanced between highlighting the aces but also featuring enough of all the members relationship and evolution to make the viewer care about the groups and the ensemble picture.
I will recommend this to people that are avid fan of KPOP because despite all the flaws I found in it, it still features teams that I found interesting to discover and also because I am still hopeful that Kingdom War Season 2 which will follow up will drastically raise the bar and correct the flaws of Road To Kingdom Season 2. Maybe once again, I am excepting too much from this type of TV Show but I want to believe that we can see again iconic performances carried by emblematic groups and that it was not an anomaly to have that quality (in terms of way the cast is featured and production value) linked to the fact of the first seasons of 2020 and 2021 being done during COVID time when the idols, producing crew and staff had much more means and time to participate and go all in.

Some amazing performances and discoveries among the cast, lost some steam towards the end
I loved the premise of this survival show with the objective to found a vocal boy group of only 4 members. It felt fresh and original as a concept. Unfortunately, it fell a bit short concept-wise: it almost looked that mid-way the producers changed their mind on the initial idea. They lost their concept on the way, with no real differentiation compared to other singing competition that I have seen. The way they organised and splitted the episodes / missions felt also quite strange, as well as the voting rules and principles. The episodes were quite short for such kind of program but I felt they could have spend a bit more time in building stories around the candidates. Indeed, maybe the episodes were too short to fully get attached to the more subdue candidates...While it felt short in story-telling and production, I must say that I found the cast quite good overall. No obvious bad / fillers singers, just talented individuals with of course some being shown more than others. Nothing outrageous, except maybe for some missions where I think they could have shown all performances rather than scratch off some with just a better editing and split of content between episodes.
Regarding the cast, I was truly happy to find back some very familiar faces met in others tv shows (such as Geonu, Jay, Lee Hwan Hee and Wumuti) and I felt I really made some interesting discoveries among individuals I did not know before (e.g. to name a few: Kim Min Seo, Choi Su Hwan, Jeon Woong (from AB6IX), Lee Kwang Suk, Park Je Up, Kim Seung Hun (from CIX), Seon You (from UP10TION), Bain (from Just B which is a group I like but did not know a lot about the members -except for Geonu), Bitsaeon (from M.O.N.T), Kim Seo Hyung, Jung Soo Min, Kang Ha Yoon, Park Joo Hee, Choi Haram and so much more...). I liked as well the MC and judges casting...I knew most of them, but again, episodes felt short to get attached to the ones I did not know from before.
In terms of rewatch value, I know that there are some performances that I will gladly rewatch (and already do) in the future...I will for sure rewatch again Dangerously, River, Bad News as well as honestly every interactions of Milky-up who were just so lovable and wholesome...Overall, I am happy with the results of the finale. The winning team was my favorite but honestly all the candidates were so good that there were no "bad" choice. However, I was disappointed by the finale production, it lacked strongly in entertainment value and felt draggy as well as super expected. The best performances of the show are all coming from the first third / half of the contest...It is a bit of a shame that the orginal songs did not grab as much my attention.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a survival show with some great singers and performances. It is pretty entertaining with a good cast and the concept of forming a vocal group is quite fresh. It lost some steam along the way and production could have done a better job to spread out content and to make the finale more exciting.

A very bingewatchable medical drama with a pace that will hook you for sure !
Full transparency, I'm not a huge fan of medical drama but this one hit all the right spots making it a very entertaining series. The relative short number of episodes and reasonable length (- 8 episodes of 45/50 minutes) is perfect for a binge watch.The gallery of characters is very well portrayed by seasoned actors (such as Ju Ji Hoon and Yoon Kyung Ho) as well as fresh faces (at least for me, like Choo Young Woo and Ha Young). The evolution of the dynamics between the quatuor of characters they played really made the drama flavorful. Even if most of the storylines were relatively expected (especially if you have seen your fair share of medical shows), it was perfectly executed and with a great pacing that made it very enjoyable. Even if I stayed relatively detached from a lot of the surgery scenes, some of the characters growth arcs really got to me.
I would recommend this to people that enjoy shows mixing genres: I feel it blends well action and medical aspects, keeping the medical cases different enough to not feel too repetitive and having some interesting global arc for the main characters. In addition to playing in a very believable way this impressive doctor,Ju Ji Hoon is super attractive in this, which is always a win and I truly had a lot of fun watching the series. I don't think a season 2 is needed but I will watch if for sure if they make a new one.

The scenario was such a disappointment for so many reasons !!!
I'm so disappointed with this series that I'm not sure where to start with this review...Given the title, poster, generic itself, I was expecting a BL romance with a lot of fantasy elements, even maybe some sci-fi trope... Instead, I was served a very classic university BL with friends being used as comical resort and trauma-induced by family members...Despite the drama not fulfilling any of my expectations, the biggest issue I have with it is the lack of plot and the slow pacing...It took more than half the series to get to somewhat a narrative direction...Then it introduced an interesting element toward the last quarter but it was done in such a superficial way, without digging into what could have been otherwise very interesting...It slightly raised back my expectations before crushing them even more...
The main actors Boss and Noeul have a great chemistry together, and they delivers fiery NSFW scenes in a credible way. I also think their acting overall has been improving since I saw them in "Love In The Air". Given the poverty and lack in the scenario they were playing with, I give them a lot of flowers for managing to do as well as they did even if it was far from perfect. I cannot say the same for some of the side characters : most of the antagonists ones were played in such a caricatural way that I was totally disconnected from their performances.
The strongest point of the series resides in its production value. I thought that the hot scenes were beautifully directed and the overall making was very good. I enjoyed a lot the opening generic as well as the background music. It was very cohesive with hint of sorrowness and longing that I found lovely. Honestly, what a waste to have the writing annihilating all those positive aspects.
I would not recommend this to people unless you are a huge fan of Boss and Noeul. I think they deserved a better scenario for sure. I liked the opening generic and its esthetic with the good overall production value. I wish that the whole series would have had that vibe...Unfortunately, it was a classic university Thai BL kind of show rather than a mysterious and dark fantastical story...In a nutshell, what a let down !!!

Sometimes entertaining but missed the mark completely in terms of writing
Full transparency here, I had no clue what was "Omegaverse" when I decided to watch this series. And honestly, I'm still not sure after watching the series to fully understand what encompasses this new (to me at least) genre/concept. I thought at first it was wolf related as there is mention of alpha, then they lost me totally at enigma...I think I understood from what was hinted by the show (and also some comments) that men are able to be pregnant as well, but the logistic behind it went completely over my head. All of it was a bit disconcerting but the viewer needs to roll with it without a lot of support from the script.Therefore, my main complaint for the drama is really the lack of proper explanation regarding the lore of the universe. The power of the alphas are never really addressed in a way that make complete sense...My thought process behind that as a viewer, I should not feel the need to do extensive research on the supernatural elements that the shows try to explain to grasp what's really at stake behind the relationships between the characters. That honestly tempered my enjoyment of the watch.
The plot is totally bonkers and feels for its most part like a fanfic fever dream. There are some griping moments in the story and some hot scenes that are pretty good. But for the majority of the show, I oscillated between being entertained because it was so bad that it was good in a way...And then being totally over-it and frustrated because of the characters (often) stupid choices. None of their "plans" felt very prepared and there were a lot of undeserved / too quick forgiveness for some protagonists.
Casting-wise, the actors did an okay job...There were a lot of weaknesses (especially regarding the villains that felt super caricatural) but as none of the cast was helped by neither the scenario neither the production, I will not fault any of the actors for what was offered here. The best relationship was the secondary one but I still will be willing to watch another show featuring the main pairing Pooh - Pavel as their chemistry was pretty good. A lot of their scenes were super cringy and they went for it...That's an achievement in itself.
Production-wise, I wish the action scenes were better filmed and that the music was less basic. There were mainly one song repeating at nauseum when characters were having sex and I don't know, it set the mood with the jazzy beat but got very repetitive as well. Most of the soundtrack felt generic and not good. Product placement was not well done as well.
I would not recommend this to people unless you already know/like the "Omegaverse" genre/concept. It missed the mark for me because I don't know anything about it and even after watching the series, I'm still totally perplexed. I must admit though that there were some entertaining parts to the overall trainwreck provided by the series and I will probably try to watch season 2 by curiosity...Hoping for the writing, filmmaking, soundtrack and acting to be better now that they have soft-launched the "Omegaverse" in Thai dramas.
