I really don't understand the hype about this series... I didn't like the first part (Rain's childishness was annoying af and I can't forget that Payu tampered Rain's car!) and the second part could've been better with better acting. I would say that there are good s*x scenes, maybe that is why this is popular...
I liked it. Definitely not the best series out there, the plot could've been better, but I really enjoyed watching it. I'm just wondering if a second season is really necessary...
I wasn't expecting much of this series as I didn't like the series that both actors have done before but I have to admit that it was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed watching it.
I didn't expect this type of story as I didn't read the synopsis before watching it. However, the story really got me in and I spent a really good time watching this film. I am especially impressed by Ikuta Toma's acting. I know and love him since Hana Kimi and, in this film, he really showed that he was a very good actor!
It started out well but I got bored around the middle of the drama. The female characters got more and more screen time and importance throughout the plot and I didn't care about them. Even the two male leads were sometimes getting annoying.
As much as I loved the cinematography, the screenplay, the acting... I couldn't get my head around In and Wang's relationship. Not because of their age gap - that was not the problem - but because of the dad. In was in love with Wang's dad and he sees Siam in Wang. The worst part is that Wang is totally okay with it! But I personally found that really weird and I couldn't support their relationship... I'm really glad with this ending for that matter.
So... I didn't like it... It was way too cliché for my taste and a lot of things were left unexplained. We don't know why Ray was cross-dressing - is it because of his ex-boyfriend as he is not seen doing it again after he broke up with him?... The first kiss between Ray and Jian was totally out of nowhere. They've only gone out twice and I didn't see any clear signs that they were going out as more than friends. The second kiss was as weird as the first as they didn't talk about the problem they had so I felt like their relationship was so strange. I couldn't even look at them when they were making out because how weird this was! The main couple's relationship was also weird. There was a better development of their relationship but, once Qizhang confessed, there was a cut and the rest was so weird as I wasn't sure if Guang responded positively - of course, we could guess he did but... that was weird (and I've said a LOT the word "weird"). I personally would've prefered that the story focus more on the relationship between Guang and his parents as I think it was very interesting. And then, add a romance next to this story but with a love interest that actually IS helping him go through this (which was not the case for Qizhang...). Also, the problem with Guang's parents hasn't been resolved at the end of this drama...
This was awfully boring and uncomfortable at times. I don't even know why I didn't drop it. That's a shame because I like some of the actors like Nammon. But if he left GMM to play in this kind of series, that's a bummer. Also... Did Gameplay really leave the KinnPorsche series for that sh*t? Because I would've prefered seeing him in the role of Porschay than this horror...
I'm sorry but it was clear from the very first trailer that Ohm and Nanon were only going to appear in this series…
I also respect your opinion and even agree on some things you said. At first, I thought Ohm and Nanon's appearance was a nice nod to Bad Buddy but because of all the criticism from Ohm and Nanon's fans, I started regretting it because, as you said, Jimmy and Sea deserve better (and I'm talking about how they were treated and harshly criticised - often unfairly - by the viewers). However, I would still argue that the plot was (for me) very good and original - even though, not perfect - and I really enjoyed watching this series. Although, I can understand that it could be not someone's cup of tea. Thank God, we all have different opinions and like different things but what I didn't like was those people who came every week on this page just to post a negative comment. I mean, once should be enough, right? Anyway, I agree with you on not wanting a second season and on hoping that Jimmy and Sea (and Ohm and Nanon, even though, it is already the case for them) have other good - even better - series for them to show what they are capable of.
I'm sorry but it was clear from the very first trailer that Ohm and Nanon were only going to appear in this series…
As for me, I was satisfied with their appearances. Their story doesn't really interest me. Also, they probably want to use them for a second season. I'm just curious how Tess could work with the Friend Credits team when he seemed to be a total j*rk. However, I agree that GMM used Ohm and Nanon's fans to hype this series and the promotional image for this last episode was only a bait. But again, this is Jimmy and Sea's series, not Ohm and Nanon's.
I actually don't mind ohmnanon being cameos because they aren't the main cast. However, why introduce plot points…
I'm sorry but it was clear from the very first trailer that Ohm and Nanon were only going to appear in this series as cameos... So I don't understand why you should be disappointed. It was never stated that they were going to be part of the series. I agree that GMMTV used them as promotion for this series but it was clear from the start that they were only promoting this series.
The teaser was way better than the actual series. The chancellor's character was not a good addition to the series as the whole thing was forced onto the two main characters. While in the teaser, Mek realised by himself that BL content was better to be known and he asks Kim to join him so they are both willing to do this. I don't know why they changed the plot but I'm really disappointed that they didn't keep the original plot. Also, the humour seemed more natural in the teaser. What a shame...
I absolutely loved the mini-series and I quite enjoyed this extended version but I honestly only kept watching because of Yin and War. There were too much unnecessary drama and I rolled my eyes too many times. At least, Yin and War's acting and chemistry is still flawless as usual, and even better!
So... I'm happy that it's finally finished because it was bad... really bad. The plot was ridiculous, the acting was awful and the directing was inexistant. There are so many laughable things in this drama that I would need hours to finish writing them. I can at least point out a few from this last episode. - I don't understand the drama's concept of being a bodyguard. Their boss is Kamol so they are supposed to obey his orders (and maybe Kim's orders as well because Kamol allowed it), so why are they listening to Danil's orders?... Isn't he just a guest? Also, they know that they can't trust him... - Danil's change of heart for Kim was so weird... At one point, he's happy to finally manage to get rid of him, and one minute later, he's trying to save him from kidnappers. Wouldn't it have been easier to let him be kidnapped?... Also, yelling "let me go" all the time won't make your kidnappers let you go... Just saying... - Why are Baiboon and Khom at Kim's parents'? That was so random, I didn't understand... I really didn't need to see them. Sorry, but contrary to a lot of people, I hated this ship. Baiboon was an idiot. An idiot that fell on his bum but gets an injured knee (that was also very... laughable).
Anyway, I can continue like this for hours but I'm going to stop here. I marked this thing a 2 because I still managed to finish it and it was kind of entertaining at the beginning. But I wouldn't recommand this drama to anyone.
I stumbled upon this drama on Netflix by chance and, after watching the trailer, it immediately piqued my interest. And this drama is indeed fantastic. I think I've never cried that much watching a drama before. Some cases are really hard to watch but so interesting at the same time. And I love the fact that there are no villains in this drama. Just people having their own qualities and flaws. I absolutely loved it!
It was definitely better than the drama and even the SP as it has an original case (finally!) based on a very well-known Japanese case. The thing that I really liked was Saegusa's fight scene at the hotel (it was really well done) but again... no proper ending with them reunited... I just wish they are not going to drag it again with another sequel and that is just how they wanted to end things.
Acting-wise, this special was way better than the drama. At least, Sakaguchi Kentaro was not getting angry and yelling every five seconds. For once, he was calm and collected and he looked more like a mature and intelligent police officer. That was more pleasant to watch. Story-wise, I didn't like it. I expected Sakurai and Saegusa to solve Oyama's disappearance case and to finally discover what happened to him but no. They took another case from the Korean version that is actually related to the burglary case from the drama but they probably didn't have time to do it, so they did it here instead. The changes were kind of okay but I really would've prefered something new. Also, I didn't like this open ending again and just discovered that there is also a film. It is time for them to stop...
