So... How to review this ? The production is low cost, the acting isn't the greatest and the plot... What plot ? :P

But like all Flying Penguin production, their selling point isn't any of that. Still, it's one of their weakest work I would say.

It probably use the same technique that soft porn use. They are naked, mimicking the act but don't actually do it.

The car crash was just the beginning. He would have made a little payback and move on quickly. What triggered him deeply to his whole crusade is the thing that happened in the hospital when they saved the baby.

The writer really hate Ice. He is an orphan, he was r*ped and blackmailed, his dads left him a huge debt and was forced to make porn (sound like r*pe while being recorded to me...) & his "boyfriend" is just a manipulator and a leech. I mean, how can you still smile after all that ? Well, he did try to unalive himself but seeing him be "relatively" fine now, I personally would be able tbh.

Hope the second half of the drama is more about his healing journey than even more misery. Just give him a break. :x

It's a fiction so I don't really mind but I wouldn't be able to be in this situation personally. Knowing that my sibling date a sibling of my partner would be too weird for me. Sure they don't know yet but apparently it will be reveled next episode and by the last scene of the preview, it doesn't seem to be a huge issue for them. :P

Ngl, when he said "When I said friend I didn't mean regular friend" my (dirty) mind directly thought he would ask him to be FWB for some reason. :P

But I'm glad it wasn't the case. ^^

I would agree if it was someone who use that in a way to manipulate someone else but here, it's just him being insecure and lacking the courage to confess directly. Don't forget they are supposed to be young teenager.

I love the actor so I finished it. It was... Good ? Decent at least. Definitely forgettable. They wasted so much time on the ex. And I don't think the "thriller" plot line was necessary (but they always add this to Romance Drama nowadays).

Not much to add to be honest. 7/10

I didn't read the novel but I really like You Shulang doesn't seem like a pushover as it often happen when they are paired with a character like Fan Xiao.

FOMO isn't a Drama, it just mean he keep watching in case he miss something that could actually be good - and be left behind. It's like some people who can't drop a drama - even if they hate it - since they started it as they cannot left thing unfinished.

Quite cynical if you ask me. Lot of people get lied by their partner they trusted. Are they all dumb or it's just that they were genuine and wrongly guessed that peoples would be like them ? That being said, if you are in a toxic relationship - and this guys was toxic waste - it's quite likely that you cannot get out of their clutch completely alone. You will need your family or friend to snap out of it, probably therapy is fix what was broken and contact authority if needed. Here, it's a romance drama so yeah, the support system is the love interest.

Both characters are flawed in relationship and both would be actually be exhausting. Like you said, Shirasaki is deeply insecure but he also hates to rely on someone. He also idealize way too much Asami.

As for Asami, it's hard to describe, but I feel he is overly cautious. Not just with Shirasaki, but with everyone. He seems to try to fade in the background sometime - a bit ironic for a celebrity. My guess it's that he have abandonment issue & try to please everyone even if it hurt him in the process.

Anyway, both of them have unhealthily behavior but in the end, they are still here for each other. It's what I really like about them. It's just a little bit harder for Shirasaki to help Asami as he just don't say anything and when he is interrogated he would just say "I'm fine" over & over. :P

I loved this drama but it really isn't the same here:

- Banjong did it twice. He poisoned him then tried to shoot him.
- It wasn't that "noble". He didn't do it for "saving" the country, they killed him because he accidentally stab someone and was labelled as traitor (mostly because he was of noble birth & his father).
- He was forgiven WAAAAAY too easily. They brushed off like it was nothing and he didn't suffer any consequence.

For me, this arc was just badly written and didn't make much sense.

As for Pheem, he is clearly a anti-hero. He is flawed & twisted. In the drama it's clearly shown that what he did isn't right. Than didn't forgive right away (it doesn't seems to be the case in the next episode either) & even his own Aunt condemn him. The writing in this part is way better.

The first story was cute but the second one was cute AND hilarious. So far this anthology is really good!

Didn't expect to see a BL "Avatar the Last Airbender" shipping Aang & Zuko but here we are! :P

It's pretty good. A bit raw & unpolished but somewhat original at least & the acting is decent for new faces. The only thing that irk me a bit is how they made those add quite intrusive & boring. Yeah, it's free on Youtube so they need the money but they really put no effort in them to make them at least a bit entertaining.

Not one but multiple high school girls killed themselves. They did that to mimic one of the trending transmigrator drama airing at that time where the FL died and went to "another world" & find happiness.

Personally, the issue was more about their mental health than the drama itself but it's hard to not respond when so many died partly because of it.

So far, they are pretty good at not revealing the ML. Well, Cafe Guy is already eliminated. I really don't see him as end game. So it's between Childhood Friend & Team Leader. But I cannot really tell who is it between the two. CF seems likely but TL was introduced first. Also, the weird vibe between CF & CG could hint to a happy ending with two actual couples. Or it's just my wishful thinking. :P

Other than that, it's cute & all of them are handsome. I don't really expect this to be a groundbreaking drama as it will probably one of those good enough to pass a great time but not really memorable ? :)

Thank for the input! I really hesitated to start this as like you, I didn't really enjoyed their part in "We Are". They weren't bad but not enough to keep me interested. But you give me the push to try this one!

The whole "It was a dream" is just censorship. China cannot have regression/time travel/transmigrator stories on live TV because of a previous scandal without this line. Like I truly understand why they made this - it was tragic - but god, I hope someday a writer will come up with a better twist. It really get old to have all those stories having the same "ending" as it really make the whole thing lazy. That or it's mandatory to use the same exact plot. If it's the latter, it's quite annoying. ^^'

It's quite rare that a season 2 is as good (or even more) than the former season. So personally I really didn't expect much - too much disappointment in the past - but so far it's really good!
