This is confusing....
I'm not so used to watching a smaller bl series that mainly focusses on a sweet relationship. One with barely any drama. Now, I don't hate this series, but I am disappointed. I was expecting something more. The plot was overall confusing... I'm not sure what to make of it. Even after finishing the series it was still unclear. How did the main couple meet? Why did he live alone? It felt like this show doesn't care about the plot, but about the cuteness of their relationship.I'm kinda disappointed but this wasn't SUPER bad.

Amazing, never expected to love it sooo much!
I usually rewatch a lot of stuff and I'm kinda making reviews on stuff I've seen some time ago. So here is my second review!! Leaving my first review in here because I think it's kinda cute. First of, Is babe fucking blind? Charlie is hella suspicious at first already. How can Babe let Charlie in his life so easily... brother took him to the club with him after a one night stand first meet up.. insane what. Especially with the fucking behaviour Charlie put up in episode 2 at the beginning.Tbh I wished they added some omega's or something to the whole omega verse plot. It kinda feels like there's only alpha's in the whole universe. Like is everyone alpha or what helppp. Also uhh, I understand this is a Bl but where are all the woman at? Not even a side character that was a woman. No hate.
Tbh I just wished to watch this for the first time again. I know all the spoilers now but It's extremely nice to watch it without. I remember being super invested in this. Would I recommend it? Not to everyone, I think this is one of the bl's you just NEED to like when it comes to the genre.
I personally think this is a very interesting series especially with the amount of plot turns.
Alright,
with this one, I was very unsure if I'd like it. I don't hate the genre with cars, but it's such a common genre I was kinda pushing this one away due to it. To be fair I hadn't read the tags good, I didn't know this was omega verse, I personally love omegaverse but if it's not your thing, I don't recommend watching it.
For me, I think I REALLY liked this Bl because the whole plot is sooo different than other Bl's. Alpha x Alpha, Is quite rare and the whole drama about the dad and the adopted children was also really original. Overall I really enjoyed it because nothing was to be expected, it was really original. Normally I prefer silly bl's over serious once, but I'll make an exception on this one.
Only weak point was the racing, it was filmed extremely good and it being it their made it also more enjoyable, but the races were just bad, the cars looked like they were driving 20km per hour. Besides that, I loved this, deffo gonna rewatch!!!

I liked this season more than the first
I’m gonna be honest, I was really done w gen y the first season, especially at the end and almost dropped it. But the second season changed that for me, not only did it clear up the confusing ending but it also added some super sweet moments.I didn’t expect it to clear up for me, since the reviews weren’t super positive about the second season. But my rating for gen y went from a 6 to a solid 8.
But my favourite couple stays Kit and Mark, they’re not that confusing and i loved their little moments in this season.
I loved it!

Cute, adorable and simple
I was a bit scared starting a Korean bl, since I'm used to Chinese censorship, I was scared that Korea might also sensor bl's, but surprisingly not!! (thx Korea)But I LOVEDDD the title, it sounded cute, interesting and I always like neighbourish romances. I definitely didn't expect being soo into this drama! It was slow, cute and just adorable. I was scared that they might have a more bromance relationship but I find it so cute how they also shared small kisses etc.
Definitely not what I expected! Really recommended for newer bl watchers, since it isn't long or extremely fast, this bl took me back to when I started watching bl's (2019). The story is simple to understand, easy and also some funny things in there, not just serious drama.

Confusing - ?✨ ??
I watched the whole series, in the beginning It genuinely has good introductions of the characters but later in the series they keep adding more and more characters and ships. Normally, I like it when a series has multiple ships, but here it gets just so confusing, it's not just 2-3 ships but like 5, and all have drama :(I still rlly liked the main couple but even so, the whole side ships and characters just makes it hard to watch. I personally already expected multiple ships, but not in this way, which is completely my fault btw. I still love it, and that won' t be taken away, but I prefer the series with only kit and mark's ship... :3
(I haven't watched season 2 yet when writing this review)

The opposite of what I expected
This was a really cool series and something totally unexpected. I have a bad habit on picking movies or series based on their poster. This series came across my fyp on Netflix once and I just couldn't help it so I immediately put it on my list. Some time past and I realised I forgot to watch the show, so here I am. I am genuinely surprised, mainly because it's an Netflix original. Look, Netflix makes good shows for sure, but a lot of times I just don't like them. Aside from that, this is an amazing series, actually fun and I love the plot.One thing I always appreciate is a good character introduction. I never questioned who did what and what their backstory was. In the beginning I was a bit confused about the amount of characters but after a bit it starts making sense. I was irritated by Chae Ni in the beginning. Her behaviour just pissed me off but after a few episodes she seemed stronger and I started liking her more. The character development is insane here. After Chae Ni, Gyeong Un and Kang Ro Bin find out about the wonder kids they just seem different. More mature, more locked in and their motivation to work for Lee Un. I was confused what power each one of them had but I loved how I figured that out around the same time as they realised it.
The production of this is soo good, I'm in love with it. I don't watch many Kdrama's and prefer Thai drama's but this show is just... amazing. The director, Yoo In Shik has made a lot of shows that I want to watch like Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I'm just surprised by the clean transitions. I really like certain shots and some scene's. I'm actually rlly surprised about the quality of the series and it is way nicer than I expected. The composer is amazing with a huge portfolio aswell. I'm a big fan of the intro with the cool stop motion and art done.
The reason my review is a bit lower than others is because I did feel bored in the beginning, especially the first episode. Actually, I was about to drop it after the first episode. The only reason I stayed was her wish to travel and I expected her to. Kinda disappointed she didn't. But then after the surprise of the powers, I started getting very locked in. I have to admit that I had trouble staying focussed and wasn't binge watching it like I usually do. I also stayed for the romance between Lee Un Jeong and Eun Chae Ni. Actually, I didn't ship them at first and didn't even expect any romance but something in Lee Un's eyes gave off some adore sooo I could't help myself. But don't watch this series for romance. Not gonna lie, for humour this really wasn't for me. I rlly loved the friendship between Son Gyeong, Kang Ro Bin and Chae Ni but the jokes just didn't hit for me. Maybe I'm just to much of a serious person... Also the plot for the grandma was confusing me, like she did what, huh?
I'm disappointed in Lee Un Jeong... why did he do that????? Honestly, his character confuses me a bit. I find him insanely handsome and I just assumed he was an introvert. His backstory is really sad but I'm just confused why he sent Chae Ni to those ppl for her heart. Maybe I just missed a detail I was honestly very distracted unlike other times when I watch series. Also why did he suddenly regret it?? Anyways... his looks bro. I just didn't like the ending. Too much new plot and just got confused over and over again. This is just not for me.
Overall, I expected them to travel and not this dark. I did really enjoy this but it was hard to get through. But it might be because it's not my usual genre. Please watch it yourself to form an opinion!!I hear a lot of people talking about wanting a 2nd season, honestly, I would love that even if I didn't like the series that much. I rlly hope they'll actually travel the world if there comes a season 2. Anyways, I enjoyed it but it was not my type of drama.

It's.. not amazing
I was really excited for this one, I had read the reviews of which, many, were not so positive. But I was just excited for the Story and I think I disappointed myself a bit. Although I really like cringey, school drama's, this went a bit too far. But that should not stop you from watching it!I personally really disliked the first episode, it was chaotic, no background information at all, just Dermden picking up a cat, taking it home and it turns into a human. I don't have a lot against this type of trope and I actually read quite a few bl manga with this idea, but the way the actor was dressed.. made me dislike it. It looked non profit. The ears didn't match his hair colour and it just looked fake.
The 'innocence' started irritating me next, I don't care about innocent people, but he acted fake, like a pick me guy. I know the series could've been good if the relationships and personalities didn't look so fake and forced.
Recommended for realllyyyy new beginners but aside from that.. not my thing

My comfort series.... I miss them
Last summer 2025 was extremely nostalgic to me. I can't think back without thinking about Revenged love. To me, this series is everything. I was finally out of long years of depression and this series had such an impact on me. I don't think there will ever be a series that holds this much of my emotions and memories. I think a lot of Revenged Love fans think the same as me. I had told myself from the beginning that I would rewatch this but I decided to wait a full year. I'm currently in France for vacation and decided it was finally time. This is gonna be a long review I'm so sorry hahahha.When the opening credits began I lowkey started crying bro, like the song, everything, it's just nostalgic. I didn't even expect me to get this emotional about it. The shots of the actors playing and everything. The nostalgic playing in the water and the colour grading. This series is so refreshing. If you've seen the Lorax, it feels like opening a water bottle. It's very simple and not even super special and I'm not sure why it makes me so emotional or holds so much memories.I watched this on vacation in Germany and a fun fact, this rewatch was on vacation in France.
One of the things that makes me sad till this day is Zi Yu. He was abused in his past idol group but suddenly blew up. What I love about Zi Yu is that he apparently wears his own clothes through the show and a lot of fans, including me, used to see resemblance between Zi Yu and Wu Suo Wei because they are a bit alike from personality and backstory. He got abused in his old idol group. I do feel a bit sad about his sudden rise in fame given that he has extreme sasaengs and is followed everywhere, even a year later. He and Tian will probably never meet again, because it's China. But it makes me so sad given that there were clearly some genuine feelings in the BTS. I'm not saying they're actually gay but they did really seem to like each other and be each other's partner in the series. The way they didn't expect it to blow up and it actually did makes me feel so glad for both of them. Zi Yu's expressions are soo iconic and just meme worthy and I used to only use revenged love memes because I just find them cute. I wanna put Wu Suo Wei in my pocket omg he is so cuteeeee. Maybe a lot of people disagree but this bl changed Chinese bl industry lot and a lot has aired since. I really hope coming bl series will even give the actors the opportunity to be in other bl and maybe even stay as a pair.
About the side characters and their actors I will have to admit not being very educated on it. Maybe I phrased that weirdly. The first time I watched Revenged love I actually had zero interest in the story between Cheng Yu and Xiao Shuai. But now that I am rewatching I loved it. I didn't know that the actor of Xiao Shuai also played in another bl (moon and dust), which is insane. I really like the side characters and I love the fact that Cheng Yu, to my opinion, is a huge green flag. Both him and Xiao Shuai fit so well together with personalities and it's just the sweetest. I am obsessed with Liu Jun's visuals although I hated Wang Shuo. Actually, Wang Shuo was a really nice character but only after the last episode. I think he was just mentally unstable and although I didn't know what he had. I searched it up and it was apparently bipolar. I think by far the character I hated the most was Yue Yue, this girl pissed me off soooo much. I remember when it was airing that I would always shit on her so much and repost hate videos about her. I do have to admit that Sun Qian Yu is really cute though.
I said it before and I'll say it again, this series is super nostalgic to me. With the main reason that the friendship is sooo adorable. I think the shots and everything were also meant to be nostalgic because even when watching this the first time, it just made me feel a certain way. The music adds to that feeling because I would overly play somewhere in your eyes and "肆意生花" (Blooming Freely) in summer 2025. I really wonder how this show will feel in like 5-10 years. I really hope that by then, the actors will have the ability to meet again.
I'm gonna be sharing my opinion here but in my opinion Chi Cheng is not that big of a red flag as some people portray he is. I think him cheating on Yue Yue is not a good thing but at the same time Yue Yue does choose to be blind. She is well aware of Chi Cheng's actual feelings and, maybe I missed the scene, but Chi Cheng never declared actually having feelings for her. Also, girl herself is an annoying red flag as well and the way she treated Wu Suo Wei is so unfair. The tension between Wang Shuo, Chi Cheng and Cheng Yu was INSANE and I swear the energy came off of my computer because bro. I actually don't like the fact that Wang Shuo caused so much of misunderstandings between both Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei and meanwhile Chi Cheng was also hiding Wu's mom in law dying and struggling with cancer. But at the same time, Wang Shuo has a mental illness and I love how Wu Suo Wei let him be most of the time.
I actually noticed in the back in that sitting room, that there's on this random wheel ABO written and I wonder if that was just a n coincidence or actually because ABO desire aired around the same time. Anyways, I really love this series with all my heart and it is and will stay my comfort series. I really wanna rewatch It each year to see how I feel about it because the nostalgia is soooo weird.
Old review: I personally love bl c-drama's, but sadly, most of the Bl once are heavily censored, idols can't meet each other, have to be discontinued or in the worst cases, the idols can't act anymore. For me Chinese is really comforting to hear and it makes me feel safe. When I started watching this series, I was honestly afraid that it was gonna be discontinued or censored. But luckily, only the ending did, as I heard... I'm not sure.
Anyways I love the whole story, the music and especially Zi yu's acting. My favourite animals are snakes, through watching the series I loved seeing the snakes all the time. I don't know why, but this has really become my comfort series. In real life, I see references everywhere, It's like I think about it 24/7.
Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of Zi yu, I just love him. I loved his acting.. but his music... AMAZING. I'm happy this series made him more popular, and the thing is, not only his most popular songs are good, he has a huge amount of good underrated songs, deffo check that out!

Wayyy beter than I expected.
I honestly didn't expect a lot from this series. I'm not sure why but I automatically assumed it wouldn't be amazing but all the reviews really proved my first impression wrong so I ended up watching it anyways. I am honestly surprised at how good it is!! I think that the representation is amazing. The plot is original and the characters make you really attached to them. Before you watch this a trigger warning is theThe acting was amazing in this series. Both Seto Toshiki and Nakata Keisuke are talented!! I already knew Seto Toshiki and I think he is an amazing actor in each BL that I've seen him play in. As for Keisuke, I didn't know him before but he really made me hate Kusakabe Ritsu during this whole show, and I think it's a good thing when actors make you hate a character. The side characters were amazing as well and I'm sooo happy they had Idegami Baku casted!! I'm not sure about their pronouns but from what I've read it seems to be just he/him. I love how he played a character that was struggling with their gender and during the last weeks finally got the confidence to wear clothes they feel comfortable in. Tomimoto Sousho looked sooo young and he was apparently 20/21 when they filmed??? That's insane.
I got a huge attachment to the side characters. For most of the series they felt like a sort of family. Like Masumi and Ritsu adopted Yuma and then Meguru just being there. Honestly I would've put her as Yuma's crush if they didn't make it feel so weird through the show. I'm not complaining about their feelings or Meguru being trans girl/crossdresser, but rather by the way they portrayed the teenager but that is just my viewpoint as a teenager myself. I don't like how the series made him seem more stupid and stuff. Masumi was 100% correct to Ritsu when they were having an argument about the boy. Why did fucking Ritsu give a child PILLS to KHS?? Ritsu really pissed me off. Aside from Ritsu being an absolute dick, I do really like the found family vibes it had.
The plot is reallyyy original. It would've been a bit nicer if they slightly took more effort to make it look real. I do really love the message behind it though. Like spending your last week on earth and who you would pick. I think that if it wasn't their last week that they would've never ended up together. I wonder if Masumi would regret choosing to spent time with Ritsu in his last week. Ritsu is an absolute asshole. He almost killed a younger person, cheated and totally played Masumi. He was sooo toxic but from Masumi's point of view I get why he came back to him. I know many people don't understand I but I feel like Masumi just wants to have someone by his side who he feels familiarity with.
Overall this was amazing, I am extremely surprised by the quality and the amazing story. I wouldn't call this very romantic though... May this type of love never find me.

One of the most underrated bl
I watched this ages ago for the first time, talking 2020(?). This series will stay one of the MOST underlooked series ever. I never hear anyone talking about it. Unlike newer bl, it actually covers representation. Homophobia, realistic scene's and not necessarily an unhealthy relationship, but a lot of angst surrounding it. Many newer bl's don't cover homophobia at all, while it does still exist and yes, even in Thailand. I was surprised to even see the page of our skyy: Tee-Mork COMPLETELY empty. Zero comments or whatsoever.Back in like 2020 I was really surprised about the random pairs in this series. I mean I obviously knew DrakeFrank back then but NeoPhuwin?? Honestly Gord and Morn's story got a bit confusing towards the ending but I think it's just how I felt because I was EXTREMELY focussed on Tee and Mork at that moment. Phuwin playing younger brothers is funny. He also played a younger brother in the warp effect and I loved it. Neo and Phuwin both have this thing... not sure how to say it but it's like they have the same type of charm. Not saying they look alike, but yk the vibes.
I forgot how young most actors were when this was filmed. Like AJ awhhh. HE WAS 17. And Phuwin was fucking 15. It's funny how long of a fan I've been and it feels like I've seen certain actors grow. Especially Phuwin and Khaotung. What I also really appreciate is that they casted teenagers to play in teenage series. It feels so weird watching 25-30+ year olds playing high school roles? Like it makes no sense... I'm happy Gmmtv is lately casting more teenagers for teenage series though. But at some point they didn't. This casting is amazing. Drake and Frank had an amazing chemistry. I feel so bad for Frank though. I am forever a huge fan of his but it's sad to see how bad his current company is doing. Although I really liked his latest Bl's, I can't help but admit it's not the best but still good. He went to do military service and left gmmtv. If I could change the past I would love for gmmtv to still take Frank after his military service. Maybe it was his own decision of course! I'm really excited for Neptune in the Sky though, it seems like it's actually going to be good!
About what I said earlier, I love the representation in this. Although there's a lot of new bl, it barely ever covers homophobia. And my biggest irritation is one of the things gmmtv keeps on getting praised on? "Yeah we treat bl's like love stories not a Bl".... That's your main problem. Do you actually give a fuck about the problems queer people face? That is why older bl hits just better. The mother being against their relationship and doing everything to separate them is something that feels realistic. The principal also EXPELLING Mork was so evil.
The angst was amazing. As someone who loves angst I really love how the relationship wasn't necessarily toxic. It was the people surrounding and meddling with THEIR relationship that made it toxic. I felt soo bad for Mork because he was always the one who had to take it. Tee also had some troubles with his mother but I feel like his issues were not that bad. I like how they showed Morks mental health going down hill realistically. The drinking and everything. Tee obviously didn't do anything to Mork but Mork's character in general was already mentally unstable.
The plot itself was really nice but the story turns a bit to a whole different type. It starts off about the barber shop and the dvd's but later on nothing about that was left. Though I was happy that Bambie had left Tee because she was annoying me. Like what Mork did wasn't okay at all but Bambie just kept on being more and more annoying. Her attitude towards Ching was totally unnecessary and toxic. I'm actually a bit glad this didn't have NC scene's even though Mork sold p0rn dvd's. I saw the your skyy episode had Nudity tagged although I doubt it's much knowing gmmtv.
The production was surprisingly well done. I like how you can clearly see actual Thai culture in this series unlike many other Thai series. The colour grading wasn't as bad as I've seen from Thai series/movies around that time. Min Akitasvara did an amazing job as the original creator. Also the Executive Producers are amazing? Hello? We seriously got Da Darapa, X Nuttapong AND Tha Sataporn?? No wonder it's such a good series. One of the things I disliked a bit were the Breaks and the advertisement. It annoyed me a bit and I was watching on tv so I got a whole block of advertisements. Sometimes there were a these weird switches in quality, but it might just be my tv.
Not gonna lie, that was the most shitty ending I've ever seen. Them just cutely sitting close was adorable but a bit... empty. Also after it there was immediately an advertisement and I get that they were able to film this because they were sponsored but it totally ruined the ending for me. Tee and Mork getting engaged was cute though and I did really love the last episode, it just felt like it was missing something.
Overall this show is amazing. I recommend it to everyone. It's too underrated and I need more people talking about it, because it's actually too good to ignore. I feel like most people rather not watch something that is seen as 'old' but I think it's no problem. The older Gmmtv series are in my opinion the best once out there!!

An amazing adaption of Dakaichi
This series has been in my mind for ages. Dakaichi was actually one of my first BL anime and I watched it back in 2018-2019. It left a big impression on me and when I heard Top Form was gonna be adapted I couldn't be happier. While watching it on air I enjoyed it extremely much. Because I have been busy all year trying to complete my watchlist I barely gave myself the opportunity to rewatch it. So.. it has been over a year and decided to rewatch it without actually remembering anything. I'm honestly still not over the anime even though it has been ages, same goes for this adaption.Before I write about this show I have to talk about Akina or Nour given that it's gonna be aired 25th of August this year. I have to admit that I am extremely confused. I thought Akina was renamed to Nour but it doesn't seem to be the case? People mentioned Boom leaving the project of Akina but I thought it were issues with his company? Anyways, am excited for Nour and can't wait for the series!! Tong Tong also really deserves to finally get a main. I noticed Tong Tong and other actors of Nour getting tons of hate and I'm honestly just confused. But I can't wait to watch Nour!!
SmartBoom was a really iconic pair and I'm sad it ended this way. Normally, I don't care that much about a pair breaking up because after all, it's their decision. But for SmartBoom I feel slightly different. I doubt it was even the choice of the actors. I tried to search up what happened but honestly my English is wayyy too bad to understand. It has something to do with the companies, that's for sure. I will miss SmartBoom forever but I don't harass the actors or Nour either. I just wished the companies were more careful.
The roles seem rlly hard to have and SmartBoom nailed it. I personally think crying on set is extremely hard and I really love how they did so. Actually, I feel like Boom has an extremely innocent face and him being the most handsome male of the year really is true. What I do hate is how Akin was sexually assaulted and Jin just left him. I'm gonna be honest even if they didn't actually do something I do still consider this as SA and I just lowkey hated that part. Like why not just support your bf? That ending really surprised me... Boom left the agency or whateve, like he stopped acting?? I totally forgot the ending so I was honestly really surprised. I do feel like SmartBoom were the best couple ever for this adaption.
One of the only ost I don't like but I do love the intro animation. Overall I feel like this is an amazing adaption of Dakaichi and it couldn't be better. The scene's hold a lot of emotion and I absolutely love the acting work. I really hope to see more of Boss Wasakorn's work in the future. If you love green flags this is for you, although Jin became a bit of a red flag in certain scene's. A huge recommendation and worth my time.

The best Kdrama I have seen in years
I don't think I ever stopped smiling while watching this series. I have to say that this might be one of the best series I have seen in a while. It's not just good, I enjoyed everything. I'm usually not a big fan of Kdrama and you will rarely catch me watching it and actually enjoying it. This show didn't fail to make me laugh and I was watching a few episodes in the car with my parents and I just could't hold my pokerface.What I loved the most about this whole show was the ML's. They're both adorable in their own way, but it was extremely obvious who FL would end up with. I have to admit that I disliked Jang a bit and I'm sooo sorry I only wanted Eun Ha to end up with mr Seo and not Jang. Idk but Jang is sweet but he is way too basic and Seo is just super funny and I love him as a character. Kdrama really is rising my standards yes, even as a gay male. Mr Seo is bitterly just a chid in a 'mafia' body. I loved it sooo much when both ML's watched the videos Eun Ha made. Not 2 grown ahh man watching children videos bc they like Eun Ha. The writer (Na Kyung) really did sooo well on the humour.
This show is convincing me to watch all shows where Um Tae Goo appears in. His acting is amzingggg. His raspy voice is super attractive but just everything about him makes me smile. His hugs looked amazing and his kisses were adorable?? Sorry, but I never saw Eun Ha ending up with Jang Hyeon, somehow I just don't see both match. Just everything mr Seo did got me thinking about how adorable he was. Also, his acting really made me cry sometimes which is super rare for me.
The side characters also really added to the story. I love it when Kdrama's add stupid guys who are extremely sweet. I never expected to get emotional over children pork sausages but here I am. They really were sweet but people made the wrong assumptions. Also, one thing I just could't help but think is that II Yeong reminds me of Est Supha. (Thai actors), especially of his role as Mok. Actually a lot of moments reminded me of me and Thee, but probably because I loved that series as well. I have to admit that I did expect Seo and Eun Ha to have a kid at the end as well and I was kindaaaa disappointed.
The misunderstanding between Eun Ha and Seo rlly broke me bro, I never expected to get so emotional over a cutie pie boss. I just felt so bad for Seo when Eun Ha left. I like Eun Ha most of the time but sometimes she was just a bit selfish and sometimes she should've thought about Seo. Seo is clearly just not good at expressing himself. But this show really portrays opposite attracts well. I actually hated Mi Ho at first but the last few episodes made me change my mind and she had a point when she said that Eun Ha just doesn't focus on the numbers but rather the kids and audience (I hope this is understandable).
On production, it has a cute and nice intro. I loveee the animation style and it also suits the series extremely! The transitions are amazing and I love the shots they use. One of the things I love is when series make a certain character look intimidating and then say the cutest thing ever. They did this with Seo which made me smile soooo bad. The series had 2 directors and I'm not familiar with both. I really hope to see more of the screenwriter, Na Kyung aswell. They have to be good at jokes to make such an amazing show. This show also did a great job on sound effects. What I also love is the cute colour pallets they use to style their scene's and the outfits. I am sooo obsessed with Ko Eun Ha's outfits!!
I would definitely recommend this series and it has become one of my favourite series of all time. Maybe this is not for everyone, I saw people liking it but there were always some negative points. I really can't say anything negative about it. Seo was amazing, Eun Ha was adorable and Seo??? I am in love with him. May I find a man like that, oml.

A short drama that's worth it.
He, she It is quite good and way better than I expected. I have only seen Rearrange by Big Napat and I really enjoyed it so I was definitely expecting a bit. it has 3 chapters, like the title, He, She and It. I tried to divide my feelings over all three of them. I have to say I'm extremely surprised how much I ended up enjoying this small mini series. I now also have the motivation to watch Ingredients since I've been missing out on that one. The colour grading could be a bit better, it was often very grey ish but I'm letting that go this time.Chapter 1: He. This chapter made me extremely uncomfortable in the beginning. They have to kiss for what I assume seems like a workshop. None of them look comfortable with it and it's just an eerie feeling. At first I was like: Mike was stupid asf for dragging Peem along in the water. But after it was revealed to be something they, what I assume, acted out, I got even more confused. Why was Mike couching etc? "Sometimes we can't tell them apart" and that being the reason for Mike's panic attack is weird asf. I get her point but nothing made sense. Overall just didn't impress me. I had no idea what was going on and confused. I get the message behind this chapter but it felt empty.
Chapter 2: She. I had no idea what to expect for this chapter and didn't know if it would be connected to chapter 1. I was expecting this possibly to be straight. Yeah so this was fucking bad of Mike. Look, I get he might've been hiding his relationship/sexuality but cheating is not good either way. I feel extremely bad for Peem but also for Pear. Pear is clearly unwanted yet Mike is dating her and Peem is the one where they both have returned feelings yet he hides it away by dating Pear. Ok after watching towards the ending I can't help but hate Mike more and more. WDYM YOU DATED HER FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS.... Exploring your sexuality is not bad but at least speak up Jesus Christ. And how does Mike have the fucking audacity to run after Pear after HE was the one cheating and then getting mad at Peem as if he wasn't the one who cheated. I need to remind everyone, Mike wasn't aware Peem did indeed drown and it was not his intention. He thought Peem was acting the first time.
Chapter 3: It. I like the eerie music playing in the beginning of It. The whole drawing scene in chapter 2 is still following you so it's absolutely perfect. "Don't stress about it" wtf are his friends on? Mike is an asshole, yes, but he did accidentally drown Peem. Why would he not stress about it? They are so shitty for not comforting him and instead just hanging out and pushing him into it aswell. Mike crashing out again... ugh. Brother this is in the end your fault. Nothing wrong with Mean telling Pear you cheated on her after dating for 3 years. The fact that Peem was angry at Mean and not fucking Mike irritates me. Yes, I get it, you loved Mike but bro.... Anyways, The ending wasn't amazing and honestly just boring. Although the music did not disappoint. In the end I do blame Mike the most and Peem was wrong as well but in his case I will blame Mike. I'm a bit confused wether or not Mean died at the ending?
Love seeing Jeff Satur play Mike and composing it! I have to say that Jeff is extremely good at having that sad look on his face. It feels extremely real and depressing. I know he barely acts these days and focuses mostly on music but I do really miss his acting! This is completely his choice of course. I keep accidentally writing his name as Mik since that's how they pronounce it. Jeff looks so young here hahahah, it's adorable. Honestly he wasn't even extremely young but he definitely looks younger. He often makes me forget he is already 31, even though I actually celebrated his birthday at a cup sleeve event. Extremely well outro of course and Jeff didn't disappoint. It was kinda annoying that they brought out the guitar the whole time but for the vocals I won't hate on it.
I've never seen Gameplay in any series before. It kinda saddens me because his role as Peem was amazing. He seems like a great actor. I heard he stopped/went on hiatus of acting for his business. He did apparently go on a casting a bit ago but idk if he passed. I'm just hoping to see something more of him in the future. Something about him made him amazing. As for Pom Runn I've also never seen him before, he also didn't act in anything else outside He She It and Ingredients. I did some research and apparently he is a hair stylist now. I hope someone will update his page.

Not just porn without plot.
I haven't watched a lot of Taiwanese series. I wasn't sure if this series was gonna be something for me especially since I'm asexual and only watched like 3 Taiwanese series in my entire live. As an Asexual I do not usual feel disgusted with sexual topics, not did I feel disgust with this series. This series was so good, it wasn't just porn without a plot, there wasn't even super much nc scenes. I definitely underestimated what it would be about, but mainly due to the description.I love how there's 4 couples in this series and how I equally loved them, which is rare for me. They all have failed sex and romance lives and I love how they are related to each other to end up with almost the same conclusion. AI and Ping Ke are so fucking cute together. Ping Ke genuinely loved Chu Ai but I feel like AI just didn't know what to do with those feelings. I get both sides. Chu is in the beginning not interested in Ping but Ping is in her. So basically unrequited love. Chu Wei and Shieh clearly have a strained relationship. I felt bad for both of them. The mom and dad also had a bit of a strained relationship, but also a misunderstanding.
I feel like out of all of the characters the story line that was extremely unclear to me was the one of Yu Sen. It was hard for me to understand even though I'm gay because it's so fucking layered. For the other members of the family their problems are clear but Yu Sen is a pretty quiet and less open person. That Henry guy seemed ok but there was some clear unbalance between the two. I liked Lee Yueh and he seemed to be a very sweet boyfriend and guy to Yu Sen. Actually to be very honest I did not trust him at first.
I love how you notice the different stages in life. You have the younger couple, Ai and Ping Ke and you can notice their parental struggle and how Ai seems to struggle understanding romantic relationships. Ping Ke also has a lot of troubles with his mom and he (to my opinion) looks like he doesn't know what to do with himself. Then you have the gays, who struggle coming out and gambling and more, their age wasn't super important but I think they were begin 30s. Then you have Wei and Shieh who are already married but their relationship gets strained, because of work and stress. Also very pushed to get children they don't want, which to my opinion also strained their relationship further. And then finally the mom and the dad who had a good relationship but everything kinda went wrong after the situation with the job (to avoid minor spoilers I'll call it job).
Love the cool intro with the design and very smooth scenes and editing work.. I loved how it kept me locked in for hours. I did have to skip some scenes cuz yeah I got to uncomfortable, but those were the scenes with heavily moaning in it, which I really dislike. I'm also a big fan of the lightning they use in multiple scenes. Everything looks so good due to it.
I love how the series also kinda mentioned that Sex should be more normalised to talk about and not just in a joking matter. I 100% agree on that although they were super open to it to their family. I'm not so sure about Taiwan but in my country talking about sexual stuff with your family is seen as a 'weird' and 'uncomfortable' thing from both parents and their childrens side. Actual serious talk about SA not just jokes about it. I really liked that also happy to finally see some male SA representation, since it is rare to see it being done in a normal way and not in a joking matter. I also like how they actually showed what emotion Chieh was experiencing after and he clearly didn't give consent to it. This series is also very educational over sex.
Overall a really good series, I definitely suggest this and it's just very in depth and interesting. I love how you have 4-5 storylines to follow so if one of the relationships doesn't sound like your thing you always have another one you can focus on. This series is not just about sex, although it does play a big part of it. This series is not for everyone, but if you think this sounds fun, I do suggest it.

Not what you expect.
I like emotional series BUT I never feel like watching them. I only feel like watching something emotional every like 5 months. This series has been on my watchlist for what feels like a decade now. I finally got myself together and decided to watch this series. I haven't realllyyy seen a lot of JimmySea series and I do plan on watching more of them since I think they're overall really good actors. I'm gonna be very honest right here, when I started this series I had not even read the summary. I like being surprised.Let's start with the representation of disabled people. As someone that has hidden disabilities I feel like this show portrayed disabilities extremely well. The way they showed the emotional side Day had when he learned he wasn't able to see anymore to losing his sport. The way Mhok was able to lead and make everything easier for Day really made my day. It was so sweet how Mhok understood his fears, even if Mhok was able to see. It really seemed like Mhok did research which, from what I remember, wasn't really shown in the series. I just love how Mhok tries to understand Day as much as possible. Mhok seems like a person who can come up with solutions to everything. I love how he casually shows things like audio books to Day and shows Day he can enjoy books and films like a 'normal person', just in a different way.
Amazing relationship build up, and I mean it. In the beginning it kinda felt like it was slow burn, but that didn't matter. The small touches, 'dates' and hand placements all show the affection between Mhok and Day without needing reassurance of their feelings, until August came in. I get the lingering feelings Day and August still had going on but I felt soooo bad for Mhok. Mhok did everything for Day just for August to exist and be Day's interest. I really liked that they added August since it shows how Mhok actually thinks about Day and not just a random realisation.
One thing that lacked was Mhok's side especially his feelings about his sister and the jail stuff. I feel like Mhok decided to take care of Day aswell because of his sister. He must've felt extremely lonely without her. About the sister were only like 2-4 scene's and Mhok never expressed a lot about her. Aside from that, it was super clear that Mhok had been in jail but after a while it started to feel like they kept pushing it as an reminder without really showing how Mhok felt during the time he got send to jail.
The amount of comfort this series has given me is not explainable. I was sooo into it. Even though I was really locked in and very focused on this series, I will be honest, it wasn't suspecting this type go emotional. I kept thinking horrible things would happen and tried not to attach myself to either Day and Mhok, which obviously failed. I thought things like: "what if Day dies" because online I read people being emotional about this series. Yet, aside from no 'super terrible' things happening, I still cried at some scene's. The super romantic tension between Day and Mhok was genuinely so beautiful I wanted to cry.
I'm gonna be very honest right here but I never cared about Phojai and I'm sorry for it. Phojai's story was confusing to me and it felt like fillers. I feel really bad for her but I was just super confused about her through the series. Her character added unnecessary drama. Night and Phojai also barely had any interactions and their whole romance was off. I loved how caring Phojai was though, it's just sad that she always got used as, what felt like, excuses and fillers. "Guys we need some more drama can we add Phojai in it?", that's how it felt. That doesn't mean I hate her, she's a sweetheart but yeah.
This was definitely worth staying up till 5 am for. The ending wasn't the best one I have seen so far and in my opinion they didn't need this 'good ending'. They could've just let Day be blind his whole life.
