J100

At first i didn't like it, but the end was so good that it make me like it ,

Story
The story revolve around 2 women that met each other in some weird situation , the development of their relationship is quite fast and they end up in kind of a relationship without title,

Yoon-Joo ( 32 years old acting like a kid) she act like a virgin who never talk to people or even had any interact with them, more than that, it's like she born yesterday and kind of a social cripple.
So it's hard to august her introvert personality

She delusion herself that Jisoo like her but it's not the case, apperenatly Jisoo use her us a rebound and she only care what her father think and don't give a damn about Yoon-Joo

So she act to Yoon-Joo as nothing , using her just for sex,. while Yoon-Joo showing her love and affection and trying hard but she is so boring and dumb , every time she open her mouth and want to share what upon her hear Jisoo just make her shut up and ignore her feelings. so it's hard to watch.

To sum it up, it's like a first discovery of adulthood and your kind of Sexual identity, she is try to find herself through her difficulties in life,she don't find her self

so just at the end it's feel like she beginning to understand the pain about life, the role between them switch.
suddenly Yoon-Joo is the stronger and not wanting Jisoo anymore.

About the place of lesbian in the SK society , , it's influate on their relationship but i don't think its the main reason for the conflict between them, although it's have power,
first: it's the first Kmovie i watch with 2 women inlove, it's not so typical in general so in SK...even more, i guess it's very difficult for them to make this kind of a film,
second: there's characters that make them understand they are not welcome in their environment as if it a disease...so it's hard

Acting:
Great no fllows.

Music
there's no music , it's fit very well to the overall feeling

Rewatch Value
overall it's woth watching even twice to understand those conflict and the development of her personality

Best GMMTV drama ever

Best GMMTV drama ever, and one of the best dramas in general, it was perfect from the beginning until the end ,
I don't think I have watched such a perfect Thai drama ever, yes, there were couple of good dramas, but these was allsome, it was a journey and a process ,real,

Story 10/10
The story is not predictable, it is a journy of a soul, and developing a character, growth of a person inside and love and values, it is not cliche in any way , it is very "new" if we compare it to other Thai dramas.
It's completly about gays and go out of the closet, so you could say it's not even a standard bl but more a real gay drama.
Very exiting to watch how 2 people falling inlove and get out of the closet.


Cast 10/10


the actors are all amazing, and offcourse Khaotung Thanawat that is beyond amazing, he is Beyond any word, I really love this actor, it could be my one number Thai actor, there isn't a single moment I feel he is out of the character, he is always the character fully.
First is a great actor too, he too not easy role, and he made me cry a lot.


Music
I can not give a score to the music because usually I don't like Thai ost, but this time it was very nice and suitable to the plot, I don't think you need here a music to make you cry,
I liked they didn't use acapella for sad moments. I was very reliefed and it's helped me feel more, I hate thai acapellas,

Rewatch
It is something to remember, and something that stay with you for years, it's not some drama you just forgeting, that is one of the dramas that getting into your heart,

12 episodes was just the perfect lenght to a closer and it was not draggy or boring even for a second.

Two Series in One – Captivating Beauty That Fades

I binge-watched the series and felt like I was watching two completely different Dramas. The first episodes were wonderful, evoking the feel of cinema from another era—nostalgic, beautiful, with little need for words. Everything was shot against breathtaking landscapes, and the cinematography was meticulous, clearly the result of careful thought and precision. It seems the director was influenced by "Call Me by Your Name" (French/British style).

But then, starting from the middle of the series, once the landscapes disappeared, so did the creativity. There was a total disconnect from the first half. No consistency, no clarity—just hints of something past and the director’s own nostalgia, without knowing how to convey it to the audience. Most scenes were suddenly filmed indoors, exposing his weaknesses in lighting and composition. In fact, it seems he relied heavily on the scenery rather than directing skills, which is unfortunate. Perhaps if he had a better grasp of light and shadow—or the budget to continue filming outdoors—the series could have ended perfectly.

The same thing happened with the choice of music. At times, the soundtrack was perfect and beautiful, featuring piano pieces. But suddenly, during intimate moments, he chose trashy trumpet music straight out of cheap 1980s films.

The actors weren’t very good, but in terms of appearance, they were wonderful and very well cast. There were moments when they didn’t convince me, but they still had good chemistry.

The story is quite simple and not particularly unique, but as I mentioned earlier, it wasn’t very clear in the second half. Of course, someone who knows how to piece the puzzle together can understand, but it felt like the director wanted to be understood without actually telling the characters’ story.

A rewatch? That’s a good question. I’m not sure I’d watch it again, but I also can’t completely dismiss the series. I’d say it’s a very good and enjoyable viewing experience. It has a unique charm that, unfortunately, fades—and that leaves you with a sense of missed potential that, in my opinion, makes it hard to revisit.

This was one of my first Kdrama, and it's a gay drama in disguise, read my review to understand why!

Cast: 10
The cast is just perfect, they act natural, every one of them fit to their roles! i think the main actress discovered, and she was so so lucky! and we are also lucky by that!, she was a star shining in this drama, you can't even think how perfect she was there because no one can replace and reach to the level of cuteness she where, first- she was a real real tom boy, her act was natural, she was born for this role. i love her so much!!! but only in this drama, why? because after it she became so sad you can't even imagen!!!
this role was so huge that she made it international and than get into so much troubless because she was maybe too naive or sensitive i guess, someone just want her to fall, she couldn't cope, she became a sad person, it's also making me sad because i loved her so much , she like die inside, the light of her heart is just turn off, if you watch her dramas afterword you will understand, she was so huge star that someone just want her to get hurt and rip off her smile and cuteness, every time i think about her i get sad,


Story- 9
Originality not by the plot but the script, the dialogs, very emotional, natural, real!!!\
You know why it's epic?
After this drama nothing came out in this level. nothing!!! it became a desert!
because it's so care free and natural like a glance to their real world and struggles and love so that you feel it's real, and this story almost could happend to anyone, even you, this is the level of this cute drama,
so you feel in love, and you want to hug the charecters and be with them so much.
You can't see this anymore

cons:
the only con i have about this drama (and this is why i gave it 9.5 and not 10)
it's to my opinion was a libiration of the LGBT community, call them to come forward and give them some little joy in their gloomy LGBT community in korea
its gay drama, this is only my thought!!!

the conflict in the drama about being gay it's huge , everything is around this idea, so they take a spin on it and made her a woman dress like a man, but the struggle that someone found out he is gay and need to cope with this - cover up later- so if you are gay it's ok because she is a woman

what i like about this is that they light this idea of struggle and show how hard it is and there's no bounderies of love...
but still at the end they cover up...


Music 10
i swaer this k unforgetiable ost, i'm crying from thinking about how real music was there...it was so srong because it's like they take young artists and gave them a stage, it's not the usuall kpop, it was more rock and indie, so it was so so great and epic that since then nothing !!! again...no bands in those kdrama, no more!!!
those indie band was the corner of the corner in SK, they are srtist you just don't hear in the dramas..and also it's again one of the pain that they are going thtough, by not giving them a voice any more,

You will watch it 50-100 times a gain because there's nothin else!!!

point for deep thinking:

Every time frank go on screen the screen shine , this guy is one of the most Thai stunning actors...just devistating...i wish to watch him again in another drama with new man
to tell the truth i like all the actors...(except gun...) but i really like all of them,

story:
bl drama...very cliche, more as a kdrama, fluffy, romantic, mostly empty plot with empty emotions, fake as can be
Tine meet fighter want to pretend they are couple so he can get rid of green ...the plot is ok i guess...it doesn't need to be complicated to be intresting,

acting:
tine is ok, the rest is ok , gun&nannaa are really bad, can't stand them both, Bright is gourgace but no acting skills...he is good more as a model and singer

music
better than other bl dramas


point for deep thinking:
this drama is one of those that want to use the gays community for pure profit , to ride on their back and enjoy it while not giving back nothing in return. it's a Cynical use in those poor people that want to live like everyone but feel different, they are using gays to make money,
how much they can stretch their bad intentions...1 year? 2? it's already been 6 years if i am not mistaken since this wave of bl began.

overall
its started ok, than cute,THAN RELLAY CUTE AND NEAR THE END: DISASTER...the side couples were better and cuter until the end.

Jdramareally are high quality, this is one of those you can't easely forget and even want to watch again in the future/

Story 10/10
the story very interesting even if it's not something new...the way they made it was wonderful
it's a story about 15 teen who fall in love with his sensei...the gap age to my opinion is not so big , because there in Japane there are very young teacher. so i think she is 21-22 years old when she start teaching, she look also very young
They fall inlove and to love theres no bonderies, it feels the story really streching the limit as we know it today with all the rulls and politcly corect people star to lose sence of love, this one make you belive that love exist again

it's not so easy to convey people today that real love like this not a feiry tail but i think they did here great job to make you feel it's there/

ACting 9/10
The main actor is just superb
The real down to this drama and that is why 9 of 10 , because the actress... she realy realy don't know how to convince with her pale acting esspecially infront of this superb actor when he is even just dubate and begginer..it's very strange and there are scenes that it's upsetting because it could be so much better
especialy the parts when they kiss and when she cry or need to be sad or pasionet...she just can't


Music 9/10
The piano in the background are nostalgic and i love it it's fit to the all old fashion style of the drama . it's like vintage style and uselly this is how Japanese produce...like the 80's and the music is from the 80's but the ending song i like less i feel sometimes it's not strong enough with this strong plot and the great actor. and producing and sudenly the main song is pale.

There are couple of cons:
1. the main actress
2. the main song
3. the mother...i think they could make her more human but she look wicked and mad.. maybe it's the actress acting and not what the producer want really, it's seems not so relate to the plot because they are all human there's no bad and good in this drama and suddenly there this mother that act like evil, it's very strange
4. the plots have holes
first the relationshop between the teacher and student is little weak...we didn't watch how they develope their relationship other hole is the conection between the father and son...it's too fast to understand what is ha.ppening to them after they didn't meet 13 years and sudenly they hug it's ok?! strange.
5. it's rushed a lot...i think they can strech it more
6 the classmate...also the girl friend classmate very annoying very
7 all the classmate are pale without any loyalty of real relationship...it's feel like acting the characters are flat.
8. i think what is the main reasone is the actress acting also in the kiss scenes...its' just ruined the entire drama for me, she don't look in love...or sad it's can drive you crasy because the actor is so loveable and do good job and she is numb

overall it's my second jdrama i love this year, very good . for the best you can watch my other reviews

Boring and Stupid

Story

The beginning of the series was cute and had some skip-a-beat moments, but from episodes 5, it started to deteriorate in a ridiculous way. It became too silly, dragged on, and ventured into boring territories. FL was supposed to realize that it was no longer the hologram in front of her, indicating a complete disregard for human instinct and senses.


Acting

There is chemistry between them and the lead actor does a great job, you can really feel the differences between the two characters he portrays, but it's not enough.
The lead actress is extraordinarily annoying; her acting is bland, her facial expressions are identical in all scenes, and she looks like a child dressed as a businesswoman.

General

The series drags on unnecessarily. It could have been much more interesting considering that we are in a real revolution of artificial intelligence, but the series is truly an insult to viewers who already know what they are facing.

It started very frighteningly because it shows how this technology is beginning to materialize and the conduct involved (for example, regularly peeking into another person's life, invading their soul and emotions, emotional manipulation, guidance from the AI to manipulate others to achieve goals, the AI's insistence on being independent, and manipulating the person who created it and gave it the freedom to act; many things that could materialize in the worst possible way).

The main character creating the AI is also intolerable due to his lack of fairness. If it had been for a short time, it might have been bearable, but it goes on and on without any guilt, and he doesn't really seem like someone capable of representing the creation of a AI. He doesn't look smart, doesn't act smart, and isn't practical in representing one of the creators of existing AI. Usually, these are people with certain human abilities, not someone who avoids being human. It makes you really detest the character. I suppose if it were a funny comedy, the stupidity could be forgiven, but unfortunately, this is not the case.

There is no chemistry between the lead actors; this isn't the first series of his that I've watched. I don't know if it's his acting in general, but romance isn't his strong suit. He's unconvincing and seems clueless about how to portray love in his performance.

Beyond the couple's scenes, most of the scenes are really boring, lacking spirit. The plot is dull, but so are the supporting characters and everything else.

There was one beautiful scene of his confession and forgiveness towards her, but it didn't take off in the end and just fizzled out.

The filming space for the entire series is cramped. The apartment is small, and it continuously shifts between boxes and faces closeup, which is unconvincing and even creates a sense of frustration.
Progresses slowly and in an unsatisfactory manner without any excitement or emotion.

The ending is also frustrating in an unusual way, making you wonder why you watched this series in the first place. It's drama over nothing.

I watch it in one day, the few first episodes was great, they manage to capture your mind because the story line is refreshing
a woman losing her memory but it's not fantasy or melodrama, just a simple romance
it's make you want to know the end, what's happening to her and if it's going to be sad or whatever!
every episode was a jam and live you wanting to watch the next episode. so i didn't stop myself watching this until it come to the middle.
the first half is good because it make you identified with the character, even if it upseting to see someone so patetic (the main role leading charecter) there are some scenes that you feel this into your face.
Right in the middle Rolling downhill very fast it's become a melodrama , you even don't understand the action behind the main charecter .(playing
Furukawa Yuki)..you ask yourself if he isn't such a great actor or is it just the charecter?! he's looking like a human doll so you kinda forgive him, But his acting and the character combination didn't make any sense,
Also the main actress Nakamura Anne..she isn't so convincing to me , she deosn't look and speak like geek even if she's dress like one...
Ithink it could have been better and the storyline had a potential but it's ruined in the middle for some reason they have tried to make it longer maybe as it should and be "sophisticated" like combine triller with simple drama romance , go figure..i don't understand the writers mind,
Also something was off with all the decision of Otani Ryohei...no depth to his confusing behavor
The end live me with regret i even started watching this...it was aweful and i almost forgoten what is all about

Between East and West: A Deep Dive into Cultural and Personal Struggles of women

The story is about the difficult life of a women in Korea (East) and their attempt to break free and become independent (West).

The struggles FL trap her and other women in an endless cycle of helplessness and suffering, with the ending highlighting just how miserable she remains. What began as a romantic fantasy (Western) explodes into a patriarchal, chauvinistic, and restrictive reality. The treatment of women in Korean society evokes revulsion throughout the series.

When she tries to "escape" (To escape the pressures of society and family, to escape the harassment of employers, to escape her partner) she encounters resistance and feels guilty (. There is a selfishness that is not accepted in Korean society, and we witness the injustice within the systems (Although she complains about the employers' assaults, they become the victims.)

The "Western" woman of the fantasies is independent, wants to do everything alone, and refuses to flee with her lover to the USA to maintain her independence. However, by doing so, she remains miserable within the family and societal systems.

Her partner tries to help her, but without success, making him feel miserable and useless, creating an irreconcilable dissonance between East and West. He wants to take charge and be the man, but she refuses to accept the help and be the nurturing woman.

The subplot at work takes a central place and adds depth to the main story. It's hard to side with the woman throughout the series because she acts foolishly and puts herself in no-win situations, but it's understandable that society created her immaturity and confusion. The frustration follows viewers to the end. Why doesn't she choose to escape with the man who offers her happiness and freedom? She prefers to confront forces she has no chance of defeating (work harassment, family pressures, etc.).

The series reflects the spirit of the times and the changes in Korean society with depth and daring. It raises questions about maintaining family and group values while striving to be free and happy.

Music:

99% of the music is truly awful. It's unclear what goes through this director's mind, but this is already the second series where he chooses unbearable American music. This time it's old country music, which is really bad and annoying, overshadowing the viewing experience.


Actors:

All the actors, without exception, are truly excellent. The main couple is wonderful and very talented. I loved both of them and fell in love with the ML actor after this series, even though I've seen him in other series before. He has a baby face, which isn't the typical masculine type, but he is captivating and talented.

Rewatchability:

You can watch this at least twice. at least for the first half. The love between the couple is very moving and feels real.

Overall

A beautiful, critical, and courageous series, different from all other SKorean dramas. However, it leaves you with questions and complete confusion in a very miserable and detached ending, without a real resolution or sense of fulfillment. As SKorea searches for its new identity, between East and West, the screenwriter is also ultimately confused.

You could write an entire research book about this series. This happens because humanity still hasn't found its identity in the world, identities are blurring, and it's unclear who is the man and who is the woman, and what each one wants to be.

beverly hills 2020

Stroy 8/10
friendships and love, cheating and everthing is a mess, there is no boring or simple sweet love, everything have to be dramatic, with manipulation and destroy, and wars, as they called it for the sake of "drama". most of the difference is that we have lesbian and gay couples, so it's make it better and more interesting to watch.

ACting 6/10
We have the good actors, avarage and the bad. most of the avarage,
Stud and Earth , and boyo, playing by good actors. the rest is so so ((I'm talking of the main acotrs only)
Locker for example is ok, but there where times he was dul.

The lesbian couple- they were too much, I didn't like both actress , they are boring and their faces and makup annoys me, I didn't get why she have to be with heavy makeup, it was so annoying to watch, maybe I connect it with streotype, and I didn't like the melodramatic acts , why they can not be at the same level of interest like Earth and Stud, I don't get why lesbian don't get the attention they deserve , to me it was like "just to show there is a lesbian couple" and that is it, maybe It is because I didn't like the couple. I wish they would have chose other story and other actresses for the roles.


Music
I really didn't like the music, the opening song remind me of Kpop, the ending song is just nothing special, and the background music was too dramatic.

overall 7/10

S2 was better than S1, I had a difficult time to like it at first but At the middle I changed my mind because of Locker story and Earth &Stud, the rest was boring to me (Boom and Good characters not reliable and boring, maybe it's also their acting) I didn't like Dr.Sam - not his character and not the actor, I stated to like Singto in this series, because in Sotus I didn't like him a lot, here he made a change and prove himself to be a good actor, he also fit more to the charater (to my point of view) I like his character development, at first I thought he was going trough non realistic madness but the last episode I understand more about the resons behind it, so it was nice to watch. I skiped all the wedding and Boom , She is just a boring actress , I'm not sure if the actress was better maybe the character would have been more interesting, the character itself could have been boring in some way, I didn't understand why she got married at all. she didn't make any progress. I could say I like Stud at the end also, the actor is very good, and I really want Stud and Earth to be together, but I have to agree that it was right maybe to end it like that and probably they will make S3.

Yes or no number 1 was very good, but number 2.5 is quite the opposite,
1. different actors...the replace Pie, pie had great chimestry with Tom boy...now they replace it with very very bad actress. what make Tom shine is Pie...when she isn't there Tom is just boring! her acting is very lacking so whenie missing...she just doesn't intresting at all, they also cut her hair she look more like a man than before, less cute.
the replace actress are not just bad, she is just standing and not reply...it's frustrating.

2. the second couple are adorable but they get very little time screen, it's a shame. the fall inlove together and it's gave me hope at the begininig but than they just dissapired.

i skip most of the movie, it was really boring.

he is inlove with a man older than him look as his father in age and also clothes and acting and he called the "dream" he also follow this boy from young age since his father passed a way. it's very sick plot to my opinion
This dream is sort of a father figure and than become his lover, if it's not sick i don't know what is

theres anothee real boy inlove with runway - he is handsome and sweet loving guy, unfortunatelly runway run from answers and run from him and lead him on, toture him like crasy, it's very pathetic and sad.

theres also the runway friend that discover that he is gay...he is very cute but he doesn't make any progress at all so it's very very weird
I skip on the streigth couple it was so weird and not interesting ...boring as hell

the last couple are the sick of the sickness of this writer.
it's about the guy that rape runway friend and getting out of it by saying sory and hug him...it's very very disturbing, from this scene i wanted to stop watching this rubish but i couldn't

i skiped also most of the slow moments so it could be beriable...if i was not i couldn't watch this at all

the editing was slow and bad but the story worse.
its had a potential, that is why i like part of it.

Music 8/10
i can enshure you this song is a a rip off of South Korean old song...it's sound so falmilier but i like sk music (the old one) so i liked it also

Acting
the acting was really bad.but every one of them are looking great and handsome

Overall-
i will not watch it again, and the ending was very bad, not clear not telling anything at all and want as to watch the next season

AND YES
although everything i will watch the next seasone because i like 1% of this and it's runway friends...all of them i like
