THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A SERIES!!!

What can I say about this amazing series besides being a perfection? This series is really just like "heart-warming" and great. This series kept my interest til the end and I'm so proud of the main leads of this series. The producer and the director really infused this series with outstanding acting and amazing sstoryline, periodt. From the vintage-like cinematography, dialogue, characters and the storyline, there's nothing I could ask for because they afford me completely. My heart goes for this kind of series being a nostalgic and just "right in your feelings". I love the way the story is being made and the flow of every episode is beautiful. Every episode is worth to watch for. The end did not really disappoint me and I'm good with that. For the people behind this series, kudos to you, keep on making this kind of amazing series. 👏👏👏🎬🎬🎬💗💗💗💗💗

IF I SAY A BEAUTIFUL SERIES, THIS IS WHAT I MEAN!!!

Ok so I was late reviewing this haha! So HIStory 3 Trapped, wow that was a masterpiece. First of all I love the story, it's just complex and it gives more tea than what the hell the main leads are talking about. This is action packed BL and I really love it!!

The story was so compelling that I was in awe when Tang Yi was revealed to be the long lost son of a rival mafia/gang leader. Like damn, I was in tears when Tang Yi's true father killed himself as Tang Yi walks away. That's so sad 😭😭 I love how connected the important characters were to another like the revelation of why the leader of police investigating department forbids A'fei from interfering with the gang disputes surrounding Tang Yi. Damn hell, I was in shock after learning that the supervisor of A'fei conspired with the gang involved with selling illicit drugs and shit. I was not moved by any BL out there about the plot but damn this one really stricken the hell outta me.

With the characters I love them and the casts as well. They had their own unique charm and each character shine on their own ways possible. The main leads are superb as well the side couple. I love them so much and their chemistries top-notch!!! Damn Jack (Andy) really caught my attention he's such an eye candy, isn't he? Every time he appears in the screen, I was like ohmyghad I can't he's so attractive!!! Ahhh omg!!! I love how he shows he's duality being a badass gang/mafia man and a sweet caring man for his lover. I really love the scene when Zhao Li An and Jack fell down in the pool and Jack was like letting him touch his chest, omyghad!!!! I can't I will fckin'pass out right away shit!! There were few steamy scenes which I never wish there must more. I also love the father and son relationship of Tang Yi and his adopted father. Sadly he passed away along with his biological mother. I love it when the traitor in the group of Tang Yi was like discovered. I really like those scenes. Unfortunately the girl Tang Yi grew up with, I hate her. Damn she's willing to wound Shaofei because Tang Yi's attention was not hers. I never really got a hold of the chemistry of the girl and the butler (if that's the right word, sorry). I did not mind them. I'm quite unsatisfied that the girl was not exposed to be the one who caused Shaofei to get hurt. I really hate her to the bone. The acting skills were superb, they really stood their respective grounds in terms of acting skills, appearance, just about anything else.

The OSTs were really really enjoyable.

If you ask me if it's rewatchable, yes bitch, yes!!! This is how you create a BL okay!! This is one of the contenders for my ranking of the best BLs out there. Yes it deserves the praise and the overall hype. It's so worth it, I can't stress enough how beautiful this was.

A supposed-to-be meteor shower that did not happen ?

Ok so first of all, these two mini series under the title Star & Sky got me intrigued. It's just like GMMTV put it right ahead Enchanté suddenly or idk. It felt like rushed to be released, seemed like it. Not gonna lie, the story is basic and not that exciting. The interaction of the main leads felt awkward like getting along easy with the one you confessed your love which the latter replied Good luck with your flight (or something like that). I was disappointed that why Khabkluen held back his feelings before for Danouea when he once knew they like each other before. It's frustrating, but I mean I get it there's seemed to be a lot of pressure replicating the same feelings with someone you like. The story never went anywhere, it just revolves around the past clinging to present and nothing more. I don't know if it's just me or anyone feels it too. I felt no attachment to the story and the characters, it's just like ‘can it go somewhere better', like I need something else to make the series interesting. Feels like damn, every episode is 45 minutes and each episode has its own cliches and shit that I wish it was shorter. Everytime I watch an episode, I was like please end the episode right there, I'm ok. The acting tho, don't come at me hehe, I was not that impressed but I like Dunk's acting and nothing else. Khabkluen character gives me Sarawat vibes from 2gether. Maitee (Win) is a little bit eyecatcher for me as well as Nay (Winny), anything else ok.... Osts are good. Overall the drama is not over the top and will I rewatch it? Nah, not for me even if it's cute. Just the story is repetitive going from past to present vice versa. I don't think they got me. I was surprised that this is just 8 eps. I think with much time spent more of making this will make it a good watch. It feels like it was rushed because there are no BLs besides Cupid's Last Wish GMMTV has to offer this like month.

SIYH > SIMM tbh

So with Sky In Your Heart, i don't have to be technical because it has nothing special to offer nor it gave groundbreaking moments for me. So there's no need for me to be harsh with this. I could agree more that this is an ATOTS clone but with lesser depth which I don't think deserves harsh comparison between the two. It's just a short ass cute series that can be a good series for someone newbie towards BL series.

The casts were all good I think. There's not much to it, it's just cast from Star In My Mind but added more which is fine. The performance of actors were fine, no need for me to grade their acting skills but I know it needs more time.

The OSTs were also fine for me.

Though it's just a lightweight series, I think it's better than Star In My Mind because it evoke emotions for me especially the in episode 7 when the first half of the ep is just having fun and then turned for the worst in the second part. I love how the issues here and then are executed. For example, in ep7 everyone got stomachache and then Prince got malaria. It's just shit worst! I really do appreciate how Fah carried Prince down the mountain in a heavy rain because he's got nothin to lose. He won't risk to lose Prince. I admire that and the scene where they both moonbathe the gem stones and sat there in the field moon gazing (if that's what u call it). As we expected we got a happy ending.

I'm just fine with this series, the changes of scenery from city to the mountain. I think this has more depth than its shallow predecessor. I really enjoy this one. I don't really need to criticize things here and there. I'm just focusing on the series not saying this is not hitting me the way I need this to be. It's just "hey, no need to be a trashtalker and complain everything towards the series. I think it is really that lightweight and nothing more. I can really say it's a nice BL to watch

Bashers could suck their own Ds and take their Ls too, lol.

This series wasn't catered for those who were silly enough to bash this in the first place. I was once one in the population of thinking it will be str8t usual romance drama series and Mix would be kicked aside but hell nah. This was peak drama series. I love the premise.
The one-sided rivalry on the inheritance. It's nonsense but it really set up the plot well. The storyline was executed very well. It's just that whenever EarthMix is in the series, it'll be very promising. They didn't fail to serve. After Moonlight Chicken one and 1000stars, this really set the standard on how to make a compelling BL series, well to other series as a whole. The slow romantic build up was paced really well. You wont really think, it's Jan and Pirapat being together the whole time. It really showed EarthMix. For a sec, I forgot Jan was Mix; vice versa.
When it's a dramatic scene, it'll surely be. Could really care less for the side couple. I was just glued the whole time on EarthMix.

Nice pacing
Nice plot
Nice cast
Nide osts too.

GMMTV really invested and showed genuine love for EarthMix. They really made them shine in every series they do. They really favored that BL couple just like Gem4th. It really ticked all the boxes for me.
Such a really compelling series

Most wholesome bl I've ever seen!!!

Everything in it was really cute and so wholesome that it melts my heart to this day. The drama is really light and the plot is so easy to follow through. Really love this short ass drama. Indeed a slow placed drama that gently takes and tells the viewer where the story flows.

Plot: I can safely say, this was easy to understand not complicated and pretty unique. The sense of belongingness that Yutaka craves was found at this small family of Minoru. It didn't felt so stretched. I was satisfied how neatly written and laid out the plot was. It didn't make me think, they could have just jammed it all in in just few episodes. I know there's not much anything going on the two leads for the most eps til we reach eps 8-10.5 but that didn't felt dragged in a sense that I expect them to fall in love in the first few eps. I didn't think that's something I should expect. I just immersed myself to the cuteness and gentleness of this series. It's basically just that moment where Yutaka shared his food with the kid then got invited by Minoru in their house. I get the feeling of loneliness of Yutaka longing to be belonged and that just stroke a chord with me. That gap really felt real to me. One might say this is their comfort series and I won't really blame them.

Cast & Acting: The cast was also something I should praise them. Although it's not a groundbreaking cast or impactful acting performance but they really did well setting the tone of the series. Not too much dramatized scenes. The acting felt casual or natural. The kid really sold me. He's so cute and adorable and really acted naturally. He's one that made the series cute. The two leads have chemistry with each other and how they interact with each other felt clean. There's no disconnection I felt as a viewer toward their chemistry. Inukai (Yutaka) really showed his emotion (that scene where he was teary-eyed talking to Minoru's father) when needed. Sometimes I felt portrayal of Minoru is giving Sarawat vibes. How stoic he was every EP but not necessarily a problem for me to pinpoint. The kiss ain't really felt awkward either. The dad of Minoru and the kid is just light-hearted and we love it! The exchange in dialogues not felt off. The brother of Yutaka's foster family is bland and more stoic than Minoru. He's the only the least liked character of mine. Just hating on Yutaka but I just love that in the end he really meant well and took care of Yutaka when he was sick. The other cast are fine. Not much problem here. All did well I guess.

OST: Good not much to say.

Overall opinion:
This was really good especially if u want something easy to follow plot, good cast and not complicated in any aspect of bl. I didn't see much cliche here or BL trope we used to encounter in BLs out there. Overall this was a wholesome watch and who knows I might watch it again whenever I miss it. Definitely a great series to pass the time and probably the best Japan BL I've seen in years!!

REALLY A SERIES THAT IS WORTHY OF GAZE MUCH LIKE A MOONLIGHT

Here, I'll leave it here already: ANOTHER TOP-NOTCH MINI SERIES!!
Everytime EarthMix is in the series, it makes it better but to add Gem4th is just too much for me to handle ahahgjfhd!!!!! This series captured my heart. It wasn't lackluster at all, not a lovey-dovey. Ngl I was expecting more to unfold from this mini series in Midnight Series. The cinematography is just chef's kiss. It felt like it used the cinematographical feature from I Told Sunset About You which is nostalgic yet beautiful. The shots here and there are greeted with another praise from this ho.

The story is realistic about life. I really thought the plot is well-thought of and the cast really did their thing. There's so much to unpack here.

Okay the first scene, well the One Night is damn convincing enough for me that EarthMix are a versatile couple. They really proven themselves over and over again. Mix really did that, being flirtatious to justify his character. I also love how Li Ming is emphasized. His longing for a better life working abroad albeit a minor. The hardships felt real. The diner closing down bcuz of the owner, loan, misbehaving nephew and more. It all really rained down on me. Mind u, I don't felt forced to be fed with those as I let myself immerse in the story.

The rest of the cast are good but the bestsellers in my heart being EarthMix and Gem4th really had me enjoying the series even more. Bruh I swear I never remembered Heart being deaf. All I could remember from the trailer is that One Night scene of EarthMix lol!!!
Anyways, it felt unique to have one of the leads being disabled which makes it something to enjoy watching considering I've never have seen a couple like this. The sign languages and the heartfelt convos between Gem4th really sold me.
This series really just unfolded many further situations that are really hard to face in real life. Unwanted early pregnancy, death of a relative (which happened on 7th ep), loveless relationship that needs to end, confronting the fact that your ex had family and his sudden death to Li Ming's issue with her long lost mother.

I thought my issue was it's only 8 eps and I thought FirstKhao should have their characters develop with each other more. But I'm still glad that most of the problems were settled properly within 8 eps. I think there's not much anything to say. The writing for this series is simply great. GMM should create another one of this. I've never watched any other Midnight Series along with it but I can safely assume this to be the best among the rest!

Watching Make It Right was a RIGHT choice!!!

I never set expectations even mere ones with this series because I am not attracted to old BLs that much just like Lovesick. After watching this, I can safely and surely say that this is way better than Lovesick, sorry (not sorry 😅)! I found the cast more light and not that overwhelming unlike Lovesick having many cast which I had trouble recognizing which is which. I love how hilarious this is, especially the friendship of Frame and Tee (more like a gang lol). Damn, Frame has been doing secret rendezvous 👀!!! I was really like laughing when Book and Frame coincidentally met when Frame was on his rendezvous haha!! After that he can't walk and Frame told the nurse his was his bf hahaha!!! I really enjoy the ride of this series, I really did!

The only cons for me is Fuse being martyr towards his trifling gf. She's so annoying af. I pity Tee for that like where will he put himself in this when Fuse having dilemma if he will let the bitch go or not. That's hurtful for Tee like what is his right, they're not even bfs to settle things with Fuse over his cheating gf. I don't really like how martyr Fuse (not loyal, not loyal. Way too different word from martyr). He let Tee stay while still being martyr to his gf. Guess what he let that be his situation til season 2. Naahhh that's stupidity for me. If I was him I would just drop her off because I've seen enough, no more explaining after they're seen holding hands while walking, no I don't think siblings necessarily do that. Fuse is really like having unnecessary dilemma on his own unknowingly hurting Tee this entire time. Rodtang was redundant like just for the sake of main lead rivalry.

The cast were really cute but the acting and the chemistries are a bit strange for me but it grew on me as the series itself. The first ep was like not that something that hold a great grip on me but time went on I grew to love this series beyond poor English subs and some weird ad and sound effects showing up here and there.

This was a great recommend for those who do not still watch old BLs. I really do enjoy this, it's solid after all.

AHHH, OKAY THAT'S FINE......

For this series, I kinda find it quite interesting. I have watched the trailer and I was 'ah, okay let's get i to it' and now I watched the whole s1, I gotta say that I enjoyed it slightly. For me this first season is just the point where I found myself lingering for interesting parts of the story. White and Captain are a cute couple and they are the only one who did a little spark in this series. For me, this is a fine series but is it rewatchable? No, not necessarily. There were so many characters that I was hardly recognizing. The acting were a raw and it feels like this series became a documentary type of acting which is, okay, fine for me. There were no more anything special about this series. I enjoyed the S2 than I did this season. I kinda wish that both Phun and Noh ended their relationships with their gfs.

Clutter of "I don't knows" sprang elsewhere with this season 2

First things first, I'm good with the cast because they add good actors and their acting is good enough for me. The storyline killed some of my brain cells because I don't know maybe because of the characters. First's character is really annoying that it might really get on the nerves of Waanjais like me. This series is really a hammer to break MewGulf and it's terrible because of the storyline. It's just a quick realization that in 7 years, how could you break up with someone you spent with those years facing any complications together along the way then just being wrecked into pieces by just a single clingy character. I don't like how passionate First's character into pursuing Type and that Ja's character is hesitant to express his feelings and even denying it. The OSTs are good. The ending is good and I'm fine with Type becoming a monk for a while but I think it didn't make sense. Overall, this series is not that good but I still appreciate it.

A subpar level of an average BL lovely dovey-ness overload

So this one is a bit enjoyable at least for me. I know y'all be so down bad to treat this but I think for me it's okay. Nothing special. Good for those who wants lighter series or starting out on BL genre. The show fell short way too much.

The chemistry was there but the well-written script and plot were definitely HIDDEN. I think the plot serves no AGENDA and it's all just a lovely dovey-type fluff series. It failed to captivate me that much nonetheless I was entertained which is the bare minimum of a series to do to keep my attention.
The running time is way too long, just about any average BL produced in GMMTV. The plot also can be told and narrated in just this much eps, like just 5 eps is enough to deliver the missing plot.
The plot felt like something that when pointed out then what happens next kind of thing. I felt like, ok after pursuing Zo and they got together and Nita is out of the picture then what now?? Are there something that needs to be tackled about that's interesting?? Also they didn't reveal their relationship to both of their families. I get it that in the last ep, the show tried hard to give inner chaos inside freaking Zo and Joke respectively but such last minute problems are what I'm not a fan of. I never understand why producers would introduce a problem in the last ep when it should be addressed prior to the ending. Other aspects that didn't make sense if we were to talk about the plot are: Nita's stalker, perceived dishonesty of Louis's character, JengPok's love quarrel and the club's mentor's trouble one-sided love.

There are more flaws in this series that understandably failed expectations of many audience including me. For a JoongDunk fan like me, it's disappointing that GMM didn't give them a worthy series with convincing plot to take us anywhere but 55555 being wasted away with the same formula used in most BLs.

Overall, this was okay but lackluster, pretty entertaining though so yeah........

This is still cute despite visible flaws

The series is cute and lovable and the cinematography is very beautiful. The problem is the cast because some of supporting characters are still unrecognizable to me. I was still confused who is who, I only know Saint, Zee, Tommy, Jimmy, Perth and Goy. The rest, forgettable. I was really turned off everytime where there are scenes with many cringy sound effects. The production to this series in terms of effects is overdone. The last few episodes kinda turn me down but still good at the end. The soundtrack is beautiful. Story-wise, not the most concrete but still good to follow
