Disappointed

Honestly I'm disappointed but not shocked, I didn't love the "Love In The Air" plot, honestly I never understood the hype for it, yes the NC scenes were good for both "Love In The Air" and "Love Sea" but both also lack plot imo, "Love In The Air" has a bit of a better plot than this one but God this one got boring fast, it took me a while to finish and honestly I just couldn't go through with it all and skipped the last 2 episodes and the special episode, all seemed boring as hell. After episode 1-2 everything goes downhill, I hate when characters have these backstories that are so annoying and the story just never goes well with it, it was just so so so so so so boring. The NC can't save this one. I'm rating it a 7 cause honestly even after episode 2 I was kind of hooked with the idea we would get something from the WLW story, but even that one was boring and weird. Also the quality was good, and other aspects of it were good so I'll make my rating higher but if it was just according to the plot, I would rate this a solid 6-6.5. Hoping for better, shorter BL series from them in the future.

Not A Strong Short Series

Maybe the fact that this series is very limited in time makes it lack so much, but it’s not the best. This story is about someone who gets in an accident, passes away and gets revived but now is a year in the past. This character with the knowledge he now has from his future self, he tries to do things differently and finds his little lover. While I’m not the biggest fan of this plot alone, it wasn’t really interpreted well, a lot felt rushed and like there wasn’t any sort of build up in the relationship, ever since the ML met the second ML, the second ML was extremely kind and interested in the first ML. Therefore it didn’t feel like anything was actually built, in the sense of their relationship and what led to it. But regardless it’s not the worst thing ever, not really my cup of tea, but not horrible. I wouldn’t 100% recommend, just because there’s better out there. But anyway I rate this 7/10.

Controversial, But Hear Me Out

Well don’t know where to start with this one, but I will say this BL is a little controversial since it can be viewed in different ways depending on the person. I have a very “in the middle” opinion with this show so I will state what I think like if I’m writing an informative essay… kinda lol.

Some may state that this BL is considered incest while others will state otherwise. But as of now let’s focus on the first opinion.

Is this incest?

Well considering they’re not blood related, no it’s not incest but other factors play a major part into why this could be seen as incest. Other people have mentioned how the fact that since Qian raised Yuan since a very young age that he should not have those sorts of feelings towards Yuan. I read a review saying that it’s understandable that Yuan had those feelings considering his rough past and also him being young and taken care of by Qian could possibly confuse him and make him have feelings for Qian. But Qian reciprocating those feelings is just plainly wrong because for one he’s old enough to understand what’s right and wrong. And two he basically saw Yuan grow so you would guess they would only have a family relationship and feelings towards eachother. Now, this is something that I am confused about, though liking an adopted or non-blood-related person is very possible mostly if they’re adopted already while you’re in your teens or so. But if you’re growing up with them since little I would assume you would only see them as a family member. Like this is what I would see it as but if my family adopted someone when I was very young and I grew up with them I would never have such romantic feelings towards them since once again, I grew up with them and will only see them as a sibling. I’ve also never understood how in some shows best friends that grew up together also start having feelings with eachother because to me if we grow up together I will see you more as a family rather than a friend that could possibly turn into something romantic. You know? Now having a best friend that you grew up with since very young and having an adopted person that you grew up with are very different things because, one is adopted lol so that automatically makes you related to them. But it’s still something that seems to play a similar role to me because once again, if we grow up together, you’re family to me and I will see you as such. It’s not the same as meeting someone who was adopted by your family when you’re, let’s say 15 and they’re 15 too, and by the time you’re a bit older you realize you have feelings for that person because once again you met that person at a pretty mature age and didn’t technically grow up together.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that opinion. I side with both opinions being stated for this show. Because once again it’s controversial. But let’s talk about the second opinion and come to a conclusion.

Is it not incest?

Morally speaking it is, realistically speaking from DNA and so on. No, it’s not. No matter what anyone thinks they’re not blood related. So is it not incest? Before I keep going let’s search up what incest is. And from a quick search it states “ Incest is human sexual activity between family members or close relatives. This typically includes sexual activity between people in consanguinity, and sometimes those related by affinity, adoption, or lineage”. Therefore based on this definition what they did is incest since he’s adopted by Qian. But once again they’re not blood related. Since I can remember the word incest has mainly been used when actual blood related members of a family have a romantic relationship between themselves. Though when someone dates their stepbrother or stepsister it’s a little bit more normalized but by some it’s also considered incest. There’s a lot of shows/movies about stepsiblings catching feelings for eachother, but back to the age thing most of the times this is portrayed, the stepsiblings meet when they’re in their late teens and don’t necessarily grow up together. So it’s not as controversial. Cause it’s like a friend of yours or your crush suddenly becoming your stepsibling cause your parent and their parent decided to be together.

Ok that’s all I can think of to say for both sides, ngl trying to write out about this not being incest was a little hard because the way this BL is portrayed is very much incest coded.

But to conclude, this BL is gonna be seen differently by many different people depending on their own personal views and opinions. I myself will admit that I’m in the middle about this show, although I do see why it’s seen as incest I can also accept why it’s not. Yes, it’s more to the incest side because of different factors such as age gap, the fact Yuan was adopted by Qian, the fact that he was very young when he was adopted by Qian, and the fact that Qian played a father, mother and older brother role for both Lili and Yuan throughout the years, and not only until Yuan confessed his feelings did Qian suddenly start having those feelings for him as well which leads me to think that before Yuan showed signs of liking Qian and also confessed, Qian had no such feelings for Yuan. And that thought makes it a bit weird but also not? Once again, controversial as fuck. Very complex to actually put a label on it as either incest or not incest. At the end of the day, they were both kids when they met eachother, there was an age gap but possibly no bigger than 7 years, but still they were kids when they met. They both had hard lives and tough pasts. A lot of trauma and no therapy or anything that could’ve emotionally helped them. Even Qian would have nightmares about his mother, therefore he isn’t mentally stable to make more mature reasonable decisions such as not dating your adopted brother. Both need therapy and need help mentally, and the fact that they liked eachother isn’t 100% their fault, most likely not their fault at all. For one you can’t control your feelings, and second they’re both not mentally stable to possibly understand how weird it actually is. And the fact that everyone else accepted it so easy didn’t help this case either. Because in reality this probably wouldn’t have been so easily accepted by people mostly coming from a gay relationship. But that’s just how this show turned out to be and we must accept it as it is. Overall I will admit it was a good show, the acting was good, the story was decent, and everything else was good too. It’s just a little controversial but that shouldn’t be something you let ruin your watching experience, mostly when you consider the other factors as to why things turned out the way they were. Was it a little unrealistic in some parts? Yes. But this whole show is a little unrealistic and controversial all over. But also realistic and relatable in certain parts.

Final thoughts

Have an open mind when you watch this show, your opinion is valid whether you think this is incest or not, or both. It’s up to you to let this show be a certain experience for you wether that be a bad, good or both. But let’s not lie, the chemistry was good, and so was the acting, casting, and directing.

Overall: 8.8/10

Educational, Sentimental, Intriguing

This show shows you the perspective of different kinds of relationships varying in ages and sexualities. Showing the ups and downs of each relationship and how they solve them throughout the series. It educates people on different topics such as sex, family, relationships, marriage and more. I really enjoyed this series because it kept me entertained but also seemed educational in different aspects. It gave you the perspective of all the characters and how some things can be misunderstandings and could be minor issues that with miscommunication it becomes a bigger problem but with time, patience, cooperation, communication and involvement it could be fixed. It showed the struggles of what a married couple could experience at a specific moment in their marriage and how it affects them overall, this show does an amazing job at showing how sexual attraction can be affected once you’ve been with someone for a long time and how issues with sexual intercourse could arise due to lack of time, lack of interest, and just not enough communication and also making plans to switch things up here and there. It showed conflict, sentimental, happy and confusing moments and more with family and how it all evolved through the series. The tension, connection, and intimate moments shared in this series speak for themselves, while some sex scenes scream out love and affection others scream out as a cry for help in the relationship because the bond is just not there during it causing conflict and confusion in the relationships. This show does a great job as being realistic on multiple subjects and how it affects multiple people in either a positive or negative way. While this show is mainly targeted as a sex show, focusing on only sex is not the main plot, there’s more to it and it takes you for a ride so expect yourself to cry, laugh, and have your heart pounding throughout the spicy scenes and passionate kisses. Overall a beautiful show with realistic scenes and many characters stories being shown to keep you extra entertained. Really recommend this show!

Thunder, Rain, And A Love Caught In The Storm

This series really was something. I understand why many viewers say it lacks consistency. In my opinion, it feels like a slightly organized mess. There are strong elements, but they do not always work together smoothly. So let’s break it down.

{Pros}

First, the acting was genuinely good. The emotions felt real and were expressed well. The yearning, the begging, the desperation, all of it felt raw rather than forced. The actors carried the emotional weight of the story in a convincing way.
The cinematography was another strong point. The countryside scenes were warm, soft, and visually stunning. In contrast, the scenes set in Seoul felt darker and more suffocating, which matched the tone of the story. Both settings were beautiful in their own ways and helped reinforce the emotional atmosphere.
The chemistry between the leads was also solid. The tension was well done, and the kiss scenes were strong and believable. Visually, the series was very pleasing overall.
Some parts of the story were decent and had interesting ideas, but they could have been developed more carefully.
And that is mostly where the positives end.

{Cons}

This story had so much potential. Unfortunately, I began losing hope as early as episodes 1 and 2. That is always disappointing, especially for a BL with a premise that could have delivered something powerful.
The biggest missed opportunity, in my opinion, was the pacing of the relationship. The series had the potential for a strong enemies-to-lovers arc, possibly stretching the tension until at least episodes 5 to 7. Instead, the emotional and physical connection happened very quickly. The kiss and the mutual feelings felt rushed, especially considering the standards and hostility set in the first episode. Because of that, the yearning and slow emotional buildup, which are essential for this trope, were weakened.
The storytelling also feels inconsistent. In the first episode, we are given background information about the characters and their history, but later the narrative does not fully commit to that foundation. It leaves several confusing questions, how close were Seo Jeong Han and Lee Il Jo before everything happened? Were they on good terms? Did Seo Jeong Han have hidden feelings before everything began? What was their real dynamic in the past? The lack of clarity makes it difficult to fully understand their emotional connection.
Another issue is the surgery subplot. In the first 2 episodes, Lee Il Jo’s surgery seems serious and significant, but after a brief mention, it is almost forgotten. Considering it appeared to be a major procedure that would require recovery, the lack of follow-through feels unrealistic.

Overall, the series maintains a very depressing tone. There are barely any light or genuinely happy moments. The family dynamics are already toxic, driven by money and status instead of love, and this negativity carries into the central relationship. While darker stories can be powerful and meaningful, they need balance to avoid becoming repetitive. Unfortunately, this series becomes emotionally exhausting rather than engaging.
Seo Jeong Han spends much of the series chasing Lee Il Jo. I did appreciate that he was not emotionally detached or trying to be nonchalant, he begged, he embarrassed himself, and he showed vulnerability. That felt real. However, Lee Il Jo’s constant attempts to leave, combined with his emotionally distant behavior, became frustrating. At times, it genuinely felt like he did not care, even though it was clear he was also hurting. Eventually, it became tiring to watch the same cycle repeat.
The series mainly consists of sadness, chasing, and family drama. There is nothing wrong with that kind of plot, but it needs stronger execution and better pacing to remain compelling.
And I'm still wondering why they didn't just let the same actors play as their younger selves, I kept wondering who those 2 kids were, I thought it was some random side couple with no information (which at that point I wouldn't have been surprised if they did that)

{Final Thoughts}

I truly grieve the potential this story had. A slower burn and a stronger enemies-to-lovers development could have made a huge difference. Instead, the relationship progression felt rushed and uneven.
I would not strongly recommend it, but I would not call it terrible either. It has good acting, strong visuals, and emotional intensity, but it lacks consistency and narrative depth.

Overall rating: 7/10

And I am still waiting for the perfect enemies-to-lovers BL that checks all my boxes.

Little Snack

I consider this series as a little snack, if you don't really wanna commit to a whole 12 episode 1-2 hours long series which would be a whole meal plus side dishes and dessert then this could be for you. In my opinion this is a perfect bite size for every story, it doesn't go too into depth but enough for you to understand what's going on and also enjoy it, the acting is good, not the best but its good, I liked some of the songs in some episodes, I liked the visuals, the chemistry, the kisses, the cuteness and wholesomeness of literally majority of the episodes, I liked how short they were and I also got to see many different couples with different dynamics and some couples shared the same universe too, and lastly I liked how each episode was a representation of mental health, ED, autism, etc. So yeah overall I think it was a solid series, just a little bit of this and that. I kept smiling every time an episode ended cause of how cute they all were and I'm glad none had a sad ending or a story too devastating, just very cute stories with happy little endings. Also I feel like with the name I expected this series to be very hyper-sexual and I think that comes from how similar the name is to "Kiss X Kiss X Kiss" and I haven't watched that series cause I honestly cant find it anywhere but I've seen clips and they're lowkey wild. But also this series has "SXX" at the end so yeah, there was only one story that involved "sex" and it wasn't even graphic or anything like nothing showed at all, it was left to our imagination, and I honestly love that, I like the innocence in this series. But yeah!

Overall a good 8/10

When Words Fall Silent, Dance Speaks

10Dance is one of those rare films that feels less like something you simply watch and more like something you experience. I am genuinely astonished by how beautifully this movie was made, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Everything about it is executed with such care and intention, from the cinematography to the acting, from the music to the chemistry, from the tension to the yearning, to absolutely everything in between. It is easily the best thing I’ve seen in a good while, and I am more than happy to have rated it a 9, a number I don’t give lightly these days. Modern entertainment often forgets how to truly entertain, but this film had my full attention for the entire two hours, never once letting go. What made this experience even more special for me was the mention and representation of Cuba. Being born there, it genuinely moved me to see it acknowledged so naturally and respectfully, adding a deeply personal layer to an already powerful film. The elegance of 10Dance is undeniable. It is sophisticated, graceful, and breathtakingly beautiful. Every dance scene felt like poetry in motion, like swans gliding across water or flowers swaying gently in the breeze. Even without words, the dances spoke volumes.
The acting was phenomenal. I felt everything. The chemistry between the leads was intense yet restrained, built almost entirely on silent yearning. Even without overt physicality, the desire between them was loud, conveyed through lingering eye contact, subtle expressions, and, of course, dance itself. Their connection felt raw and genuine, and the tension was exquisite.
And the cinematography, truly outstanding. I haven’t seen lighting and shot composition this good in quite some time. Every scene felt intentional, almost painterly, as if each frame could stand on its own as a work of art. Visually, this film is a feast.
The only reason I didn’t give it a 9.5 or a perfect 10 is the ending. I wanted more. I wanted to see what came next, to explore their future, their relationship, and how love would coexist with their careers. It left me craving a sequel, or even an entire series, just to stay in their world a little longer. Still, that longing almost feels intentional, fitting for a story built on yearning.
At its core, 10Dance is more art piece than conventional film. Some viewers criticize its quiet nature or its lack of dialogue, claiming the dances exist to cover what isn’t said. But that is precisely the point. In this story, words are secondary. Dance is the language. It is how these characters communicate, connect, and reveal themselves. If you can’t understand that, then perhaps this film simply isn’t for you. But I understood it, and I loved it. This movie is a true masterpiece, and it reminds me of "You Make Me Dance", though elevated to an entirely different level. I recommend both wholeheartedly. There isn’t much else to say, because when I say this film is pure gold, I truly mean it. Go watch it.

Not Great, Not Terrible, Just Complicated

Sweetheart Service is one of those BLs where I completely understand why the ratings aren’t glowing, and why it’s hovering around a 7, but I also don’t think it deserves to drop much lower than that. Is it the best BL out there? No. Is it the worst thing ever made? Absolutely not. It’s very much a “has potential, execution questionable” kind of series. Let’s start with what I liked, because there are things worth appreciating. First of all, the slow burn. And when I say slow burn, I mean painfully slow, the kind where you start wondering if the romance is stuck in buffering mode. But honestly? I didn’t hate it. The pacing worked for me emotionally, especially when it came to the kisses. When they finally happened, they were good, like actually worth the wait. Visually, the show was doing the most, in a good way. The bar scenes in particular? Immaculate vibes. Peak atmosphere. Everyone looked great, the lighting was on point, and Min U specifically, yeah, I get it. No notes. The little drawing animation storytelling moments were also a highlight for me. They pulled me into the story way more than standard dialogue scenes would have, assuming those drawings were done by humans and not AI, because if not, we need to talk. Now, unfortunately, this is where the cracks start showing, because the story is messy. Like, genuinely confusing at times. The conflict kept building up as if something big was about to happen, and then suddenly, it’s resolved. No payoff, no emotional explosion, just blink and you miss it. It felt anticlimactic in the worst way. Character relationships also weren’t handled well. Tae Ha and Yu Ha, for example, tell me why I genuinely thought Tae Ha liked Yu Ha as more than a “brother.” The jealousy, the behavior, the tension, it read romantic. So when nothing ever comes of that, I honestly felt gaslit. Like, did I imagine all of that? Was I projecting? Because it really felt like the show was hinting at something it never intended to address. The main couple, meanwhile, suffered from lack of development. Yes, they had moments, but once the conflict started, the relationship felt distant and weirdly empty. We’re told they care about each other, but we’re not really shown enough growth to feel it deeply. And Ha Su Yeon, yeah, no. She should have faced actual consequences. At first, I thought she was just going to be a diva. Instead, she turned out immature, manipulative, and annoying. The fact that she and Tae Ha teamed up to mess with Yu Ha’s life was wild, and not in a fun way. That’s not “miscommunication,” that’s just being awful to someone you supposedly care about. The second couple also did absolutely nothing for me. From the start, I felt zero chemistry. Every time the screen cut to them, I sighed. And somehow, despite barely having any development, they ended up together? When they kissed, my genuine reaction was, Did I miss an episode? Or ten? It felt random, rushed, and honestly like a mood killer. Now, I did enjoy the chaotic one minute makeout session in the final episode, no complaints there. But if the story had been stronger, that kiss would’ve felt way more impactful. The slow burn plus good kiss combo was perfect on paper, the writing just didn’t support it enough to make it hit emotionally. There’s also a laundry list of unanswered questions. What’s going on with Min U’s parents, did his mom ever accept Yu Ha? What about Min U’s friends? Why is Yu Ha suddenly working at the same company, and why are the coworkers magically okay with the relationship after gossiping the entire series? What happened to Ha Su Yeon’s boyfriend? Did he finally leave her alone? None of this gets addressed, and while I know time constraints are a thing, it still makes the ending feel incomplete. Originally, I thought about giving this an 8 because I really enjoyed the first half, but it definitely went downhill. Still, despite all its flaws, I don’t think it deserves to dip below a 7. It has three things I personally love, slow burn, solid kisses, and Min U being ridiculously attractive.

Flawed, frustrating, but not unwatchable, and definitely not the disaster some people make it out to be.

Someone Check On The People Working For "Secret Of Us"

Awakening the Steppe really made me question what kind of emotional phase the people behind these projects are going through. After watching The Heart of Tsukuyomi, Until We Drown, and now this, it genuinely feels like someone at Secret of Us (or whoever is in charge) is not okay. Why does everything need to end in sadness or emotional damage? Out of all their short series, this one is easily the weakest. The story is oddly structured, lacks depth, and throws information at you so fast it feels like it’s trying to seem meaningful rather than actually being meaningful. The only truly special thing here is the scenery. Honestly, the moment I saw it, I was sold. Quiet, open, peaceful, absolutely somewhere I’d love to disappear to. Visually, this series does the most. Narratively, not so much. The chemistry is… questionable. It’s not nonexistent, but it’s definitely not convincing. The way the characters fall in “love” feels rushed and unrealistic, and the kissing scenes honestly look more like they’re wrestling than connecting. Maybe it’s supposed to be passion, maybe it’s lack of chemistry, maybe it’s both. But I simply cannot buy someone being head over heels for a complete stranger they met a day ago, especially when the foundation of that connection makes zero sense. Which is a shame, because this story had potential. With that setting alone, it could’ve been something really memorable. Instead, the script feels like a fever dream. And just to really seal the deal, they throw in a terminal illness at the end. Of course they do. Then we get a dramatic return on a horse, which left me sitting there wondering, is this symbolic? Is he gonna die? Is he gonna heal? Is the horse a metaphor? No idea. And obviously I’ll never know. Overall, it’s not terrible, but it’s not strong either. I’m officially exhausted by sad endings and last-minute tragedy. Please, I am begging, let one of these stories end without emotional whiplash.

Until We Drown

I don’t need to overthink a title for this review, the title of the series already encapsulates its core themes perfectly.
I went into this short series with fairly neutral expectations and ended up enjoying it far more than I anticipated. While I’m generally not someone who gravitates toward sad endings, I usually try to understand why a story chooses that route and come to terms with it. In this case, I can honestly say I prefer this ending over a far crueler alternative, one where the characters turn against each other and the main character dies believing he was betrayed by someone he trusted and loved. Compared to that, this ending, while undeniably tragic, feels purposeful. The series frames sacrifice as an expression of love, and in that sense, the tragedy carries meaning. If love must end in pain, I would rather it be a love rooted in selflessness than hatred. The story establishes early on that this is not a light watch, the visual palette leans heavily into dark blues and greys, reinforcing the somber tone and emotional weight. At its heart, the narrative argues that fate cannot be escaped; if you attempt to defy it, it will simply find another way to assert itself. If one did not die, the other would have. That inevitability is what defines the story. Despite the sadness, I found it to be a beautifully tragic experience. The chemistry between the leads was genuinely compelling, and the cinematography elevated the emotional impact throughout. I also couldn’t help but notice how much the second main character, the “brother”, resembles First Kanaphan Puitrakul. From facial structure to even the placement of moles near the chin, the resemblance is striking, almost uncanny. One character I felt no sympathy for whatsoever was the man obsessed with the main character. He was, without question, the primary source of destruction in the story. I would like to believe that after everything he did, literally across two lifetimes, he was ultimately caught by the police. Anything less would feel undeserved. I do wish this series had been longer, as the story had real potential to be something even more impactful with additional development. I’d also love to see the two leads reunited in another series someday, ideally something lighter and more hopeful. Unfortunately, no actors are credited, so if anyone has information on who they are, I’d genuinely appreciate it. One technical issue that significantly distracted me was the dubbing in the first and last episodes. The timing was often off, either delayed or rushed, and it pulled me out of the story entirely. At times, it felt almost like an AI-generated dub forced into place, which is unfortunate given how emotionally grounded the rest of the series is. Overall, this is not a series for everyone, especially not for viewers who strictly prefer happy endings. But for those open to tragic romance and reflective storytelling, it’s a worthwhile watch.

Secret Lover: Blink and They’re Already Making Out

I was so excited waiting for this one to finish airing. A best friends-to-lovers trope from a Taiwan BL? That’s supposed to be my Roman Empire. I was ready for slow burn, tension, yearning — the kind of emotional suffering we live for. But instead of a slow burn, I got a speed run. The series jumped straight into Freakytown before I even had time to finish my popcorn. Episode 1? They’re making out. By episode 4? They’re already in bed. Like… can we breathe first? Can you yearn a little before we start undressing? BLs without a build-up feel so off, especially when these two were supposed to be best friends with zero preexisting feelings. Realistically, if your best friend suddenly confesses, you’d at least need a few days or even longer to emotionally spiral before kissing them. But nope — these two skipped the spiral and went straight to “we’re in love now.” Jun Xi said Han Tuo was moving too fast, and honestly for the audience that was even faster. The audience needed a seatbelt. The pacing was just insane — there was no room for character or relationship development, which sucks because the plot idea was actually good. It could’ve been a gem, but they rushed it like there was a prize for moving like the speed of light. Now, I’ll give credit where it’s due: the chemistry was good! Like, they looked great together. But chemistry can’t fix a broken plot. And I swear, the side characters were eating them up. I was way more invested in the two girls than the main couple because they actually felt real. The parents? Adorable. The brother? Supportive king. The funny moments? Lifesavers. Those are honestly the only reasons the rating isn’t lower. Also, Han Tuo being jealous of a literal child was wild behavior. Sir, be serious. You can tell that man wasn't ready for a relationship and honestly, probably neither was Jun Xi. I think if anything Han Tao needed therapy. Anyway, safe to say I’m disappointed once again. Taiwan BL used to have that magic — what’s going on lately? Someone bring back the yearning, please.

Rating: 7.5/10 (for the acting, the side characters, and the comedy that unintentionally saved the show).

Masterpiece But I Want More

I'm left unsatisfied but satisfied, I'm glad the ending wasn't sad but open. Definitely either watching Unintentional Love Story (ULS) first or Time Of Fever (TOF) first won't matter, because regardless the pieces will be put together, but if you asked me in which order it should be watched, I think TOF first and then ULS because ULS takes place more in the future for them 2. Now something I'm confused about is why in ULS Kim Dong Hui is still acting so distant and rejective towards Ko Ho Tae, I can understand why he was like that in TOF because he was young and still processing and accepting his feelings for Ko Ho Tae but why now in the future? I just feel like theres something missing, something we don't know that happened or idk something thats not being shown. Because it doesn't make sense, regardless this story was beautiful to me, I really like this one more than ULS and I honestly hope we see more of them 2 in future series, though I doubt it, I still hope for more, either it be another season or another series I'll be happy to watch.

Edging Ritual (Not in a weird way)

First story had wanting more, second story had me wanting more, third story had me wishing there was less, and fourth story had me wanting more. I know they're short and I shouldn't expect a whole story written in like 8-10 min per episode but I lowkey just wanted to know more about what happened next, the first one had me wondering if they ended together or not, I mean maybe they did? IDK the way they spoke to each other like yeah probs. Second story was like yeah yay they like each other but like now I wanna see how their life goes after they start dating and also life before, third story had me wishing I never saw it that shit was so sad omg like make it stop, and fourth one was also making me wanna see more after they start dating and before, tho the kiss was chefs kiss! Once again I know they're short so obviously they're not gonna be like a whole 2 hour movie, but yeah! Regardless of this it was decent, the stories are short and simple and they're very soft and wholesome. Just like someone said in the reviews, it's like a bite sized story!

Pure Cinematography And Art

This short series is just lovely, love the places it takes place and how each episode is filled with green it feels like you're in there with there, I can feel the rain, the breeze, the scent of the leaves, it makes you forget your even watching a series to begin with, for a second I was like "idc about the plot I'm just here to admire this beautiful scenery in every episode" but the story was also captivating, simple but cute, it's like a coming of age story, with a love thats so pure and wholesome, it's interpreted so beautifully and in such an artistic way I just couldn't stop watching. I also need to appreciate the fact that it's short so everything is balanced super well. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to watch the special episodes once they're all fully released.

I Will Cry, Don't Test Me

Bro, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, like why them? Why do they have to do all this like can't we just have a normal cute special episode, these days special episodes are not special anymore, they're more like torture episodes, either super boring and unnecessary or crazy and dramatic and this one is crazy and dramatic, they didn't have to do all that, like killing Joker and then making it all sentimental and shit, then putting that hideous cardboard version of joker and marrying Joker and Jack like that shit doesn't look goofy asf and out of a mental hospital, like be so fr. And then to top it off they add this cliffhanger at the end like stop edging us and give us a second season, which btw they probably won't even do, they'll AT MOST give us another episode or some shit and call it a day, and make it as confusing as ever. Because IVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE. AND IM TIRED. I LOVE THESE 2 AND THEIR PLOT, I LOVED JACK AND JOKER BUT WHY IS THIS EPISODE SO ASSSSSSSS. It wasn't horrible, I liked the action, still waiting for the day Aran and Tattoo realize they LIKE each other and start dating!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. And I need that peaceful happy ending for those 2, LIKE THEY CAN'T GET A BREAK! UGH! So yeah petition for season 2 because I won't rest until we get Aran and Tattoo together, and happy ending for Jack and Joker. Who's with me? Based on these reviews I think everyone. I'm done here (for now), I shall be back soon. Once season 2 or whatever is released.
