We Need To Normalize Un-happy Endings.

Personally, I think this drama was made to give us high blood pressure and headache, cuz what the hell? The lead was so frustrating I hate Wednesday & Thursdays now. His miscommunication was also sooo frustrating, in the finale, when he was running to confess, and I should have probably been going awww, my arse went: 'Dude, breathe on your time, hurry the eff up so I can go to bed.' Cuz, WTF? Seriously, I contemplated asking Chatgpt how to virtually slap someone with a rubber chicken, cuz dafug?

Also, did anyone care about that gl couple? What even was their purpose in this story? Were they supposed to be here? Like, does the director knows they in this drama? They were so uninteresting they could have been replaced by a house plant and it wouldn't have made a damn difference to the story. They were like an after thought, like they sneaked into the drama. I blinked and that one girl was confessing cuz apparently the other girl touched her book one time? Okay, good luck I guess.

Listen, this whole drama was like a sad merry go around that played clown music. The whole plot is cuz one dude who in certain angles looked 23% like Barcode before he levelled up to werewolf, is in love with his best friend, who acts like that one friend who owes you money, but he's so enduring you don't have the heart to ask him for it. And it's fine, have a crush on your best friend Susan, you are entitled. But dude woke up one Tuesday, confessed so vaguely, got misunderstood and made it his whole personality. Mfker walking around writing in his dairy about how the best friend don't like him back, so his solution after the misunderstanding is to stop being his friend and just frustrate the hell out of the poor boy. And it goes on in circle for 8 agonising episodes. And the worse part, we all can clearly see the best friend likes him back. Dishonor on your effing cow.

This is literally the plot of every episode:
Ba Woo: I like him so much, but he only wants to be my friend.
Second lead: Tell him, be specific. Say, 'I like you, like, like like you'.
Ba Woo: No, he won't get it. I'll just stop being his friend.
Lead: Why are you so distant now my best friend forever?
Ba Woo: I don't want to be your friend. Stay away from me.
Lead: Why? Tell me what's wrong, I'll do anything for you.
Ba Woo: No, stay away. Let's not be friends forever and ever.
Me: Hug a cactus Sharon.

Seriously, people who can't communicate shouldn't be allowed to have crushes. I felt so bad for Ji Hoon cuz Ba Woo just frustrated the heck out of this boy, and he tried everything to stay being his friend. Sure we can say Ba Woo took a chance and when it didn't go his way he stepped back, but this dude didn't just step back, he acted in a way that hurt both himself and Ji Hoon. Dafug you mean, 'No Ji Hoon you don't like me.' Janet are you in his head? Is his feelings your feelings Bob? Arrrggg this boy!

Then that one in-betweener dude start having feelings for Ba Woo? I was like: 'Hey hey hey, my brother, let us have peace, please. Have a crush on your own time. Even the current relationship we don't know where it's heading, and you wanna come add your problem on top of our matter. If you don't go sit somewhere.' Also why the eff you gonna fall for that frustrating hair net? You know his communication skills on the same level as one of them no-reply automatic emails.

Finale:
Was just as frustrating, Ba Woo rejects Ji Hoon, says he doesn't want to be friends and ran away, again. Ji Hoon stands there without moving going 'oh nooo, Ba Woo, don't gooo.' Then he confesses his feelings for Ba Woo to his guitar, you know, cuz why not. Finally after some nonsense, second lead looking like someone stole his lunch and a dairy entry later, Ba Woo finally comes to his senses, and runs to Ji Hoon. Then he's confessing and I'm just looking at him like, 'Oh give over, the charm is gone, I am so over you now.' I should be awww-ing and happy, but I just... I've had enough. Booooo to your happy ending, although you were all cute and stuff. Boooo.

And like, I get it. First crush, best friends, scared of losing each other, but come on Janet, just communicate, please. Like, if you think Ji Hoon is a pumpkin, just spell it out for him. They dragged this so much with misunderstandings and miscommunication, I think I started growing white hairs from screaming at my screen for them to talk. Like, speak children, speak.

All in all, arite. This gave me such a headache, I couldn't bring myself to fully enjoy their happy ending. The plot is nothing special, your typical secret crush on best friend story, but with a side of frustration that makes you wanna reach into the screen and slap yourself a lead. But it had it's cute and funny moments, so there's that. The male lead, bless his heart, was likeable, the second lead was fine too, I guess. The main lead...yeah, he was in the drama. And that gl couple were there to fill in the time, so don't expect anything from them.

It's a light romance bl, so watch it if you want, but be warn you might be pulling your hair. The leads weren't bad, but the plot was frustrating. Still, it's watchable, so if you have more patient than I did, give it a chance.

K-bls needs to step up this year, like, why are you on the floor? It's only May.

Could Have Been Great...

Zee: OMG, I have an idea for a royal series I wanna do with Nunew. Very princey, very royal.
Aof(director): Ohhh sounds good, I'd commission a writer and have a novel written.
Writer: Here you go, your novel.
Me: *read it, enjoyed the story and got super excited for the drama.*
*Drama starts at a billion years: huge budget, great cast, awesome costumes and sets, over top production. I'm in my disney feels. It was worth the wait.*
*3 episodes later...*
Director: You know what, how about we throw that novel away and do something else.
Me: But you had a novel... that was the whole...huh?
Director: Alright, quiet on set, on my count, we just gonna do our own thing... action!
ME: Dishonor on your ancestors goat, forehead, dishonor!

So yeah, literally what was the point of the novel if Aof and his forehead was going to throw the whole thing away and do whatever the hell he wanted? The script was meh, and the execution more so. somewhere after episode 7 it felt like a chore trying to get through it, the secondary character felt like an after thought, hated how they ruin Ramil's story with that unnecessary nonsense, poor dude lost his crown , and the friendship between him and Khanin and for what? I did like Jay and Calvin though, but please don't get me started on how bad they did Charan, dude was so one dimensional it was painful.

My fav scene would forever be the moment Khanin was introduced as the prince and he was in that royal outfit and walking down the stairs and you could see how nervous he was, so beautiful, Nunew did such a good job. I actually also liked the finale, but it's such a shame they waited until the last minute to give us depth to any of the secondary characters. Calvin was a disposable prince, Paypai was from a political family, Charan family took an oath to serve since forever... interesting give me more of that, instead we got the evil king who had no repercussion whatsoever die knowing his bloodline still reigns, give over.

This one had such a huge potential to be a great series, unfortunately even with the big budget, great sets, costumes and cast, it still came out of Domundi, so we got what we got. I have a lot of things to say, but imma keep quiet and go sit my somehow. One thing though, some of the music that came out of this was great, so if not for anything we had that.

Anywho, looking forward to the casts' next work.

Here was my review after the first 3 episodes. I started my rating at 8 stars.

"In every age, power remains with those who win." Which means, the competition for the throne of Emmaly is about to be deadly. Three heirs, one throne. Ahhh, I'm so seated for this plot. Also, LMAO I don't trust anyone in Emmaly. Everyone is so shifty and suspicious like... that one prince in blue, the moment I saw his moustache I knew he was guilty of something. Khanin honey, imma need you to raid that closet and run back to England. Let me explain.

So, someone is trying to off Khanin and we don't know who, but after episode 3 I have narrowed it down to, well, everyone. Basically, the whole kingdom. Like, everyone on this show looks suspicious as eff,

My Reasons Why Everyone In Emmaly Is A Suspect
#1: The King: This man was playing chest by himself, and checkmate himself, that alone makes him suspicious.
#2: Green Prince: Dude entered the drama like we owed him money, angry and asking too many questions.
#3: Blue Prince: His moustache. Like, I don't know what he's guilty of, but it's not nothing. He did something, he looks super shifty.
#4: Pink Prince: Dude don't speak much, hiding something are we?
#5: Gold Prince: This man found out his son he believed was dead for 20 years is still alive, and so far all he's done is look sad for a bit and smiled all so sneering and... suspicious.

then we have the heirs:
#1: Princess Eva: Too pretty, wearing all them fancy gowns I don't have. Suspicious and guilty.
#2: Prince Ramil: This child speaks like basmati rice, slow and one at a time, but every word out of his mouth makes you wanna boo him. It's not looking good for him and his dad.
#3: Prince Khanin: Obviously he didn't attack himself but that child is Sassy. Bossy. Naughty. I feel he about to turn everything upside down, good luck Emmaly. Oh and Charan, poor dude was the first victim with the, I command you to be my guard stunt he pulled.

Others:
Charan: He said: "Power doesn't matter to me, but you do Your Highness." --> Royal guard too in love, he's a liability.
Calvin: 3 episodes in and all we got from him was a glance. Dude's hiding ,he did something.
Jay: Saw him for a second and he looked so pretty while singing... it's suspicious.
Paytai: He's close with Ramil and his father, so he must be guilty of something too.

So yeah, everyone is guilty, cuz this this drama is like a cross between Game of Thrones, Princess Diaries and Gossip Girl, you know, but make it gayer. No, but those three princes' had me rolling. These dudes gossip over tea. They had their fancy tea cups and everything out. lmao.

Anyway, so far, we 3 episodes in and I am super impressed by how grand everything feels. The scale, quality, and budget, everything feels so massive and well over my expectations. I was drooling over the wardrobe in episode 3 and Nunew Chawarin is one beautiful boy cuz he was born to play this role, he embodied being a prince with such ease and grace. And when he walked down those stairs to introduce himself? I stood up and bowed too, cuz... Your Highness!

My Impression after 3 episodes:
I am enjoying the drama so far, and impressed with the acting of the leads as well. Seeing Zee and Nunew bring their characters to life made me emotional. Overall, I am stunned with the drama in general, Everything from the outfits, locations, set designs, music to the cast is so beautifully done and detailed to perfection. The grand-ness-ness is majestic as hell.

After episode 3, it's clear the plot would focus on the fencing competition for the throne. It's a different plot from the many high school bls we mostly get, so already it's a win in my book. Not gonna lie, I have no idea what fencing is about, but from the little we saw it seems you just poke your pointy stick thingy at the other's head and then they poke back, and some dude shuts something in french, so yeah, sports and stuff. Either way, I can't wait for the competition to start.

What I'm looking forward to:
- Who is after Khanin and why.
- How Khanin and Charan goes from royal guard and prince to lovers. It's probably gonna hurt, but that's what tissues are for.
- The competition for the throne! Can't watch for the royal intrigue and backstabbing, it's gonna be amazing. I'll make popcorn and wine while watching.
- The beautiful aesthetics of the sets. I am ready to immerse myself in this royal aura.
- Fully meeting the other cast members and seeing what they bring to the table. From the trailer they are all about to give us drama, and I am seated for the ride.
- How Khanin adjusts to being a prince, living in the castle and coming to Emmaly. It's gonna be interesting seeing how he adjust to the change in status and meeting his new family after losing his current one.
- And of course who would win the throne in the end.

Also, lastly, Khanin, child, why is you saying no to being a prince? If someone told me I was a prince in this economy, I'd have been like: 'A prince prince? With my whole castle and everything prince? Dude, say less, I'm in.' No, really, they don't even have tell me the name of the country or nothing. Matter fact, just point me in the direction of where it is, and I'll walk there myself. This child was out there sobbing and wailing and angry. Understandable giving everything, but like, the title came with a hunky handsome royal guard. Nah fam, if he don't want it, I volunteer as tribute. This child playing with his blessings.

Anywho, I can't wait for the rest of the episodes, once every week is gonna be torture.

Enjoy the show royal subjects of Emmaly.

Two Assassins, A Snitch & A Mechanic Walked Into a Burger Joint...

Here is the sitch. Kant is a love bombing, manipulative snitch for the police. Bison is a cheeky, deadly, adorable hitman, Fadel is a moody, no nonsense hitman who loves cooking burgers, and Style is an annoying gremlin, stalker mechanic who is unknowingly dating an assassin to win an old car. Between the four of them, someone is about to get burn, and it's sure as hell ain't the hamburgers!

Listen, this drama promised a recipe for disaster and chaos, and it cooked and delivered it perfectly. This was an emotional rollercoaster and I enjoyed the ride very very well. As someone who read the novel I had a lot of expectation and they were exceed to the maximum.

CHARACTERS
Both FirstKhao and JoongDunk delivered a wonderful performance. I'm one of those people who believed after watching Hidden Agenda that JoongDunk took their acting lessons from one of them red bricks, but this was their best role yet. Dunk embodied Style to perfection, making me like that annoying character so much. So kudos to all four main cast, great job, clap clap. FirstKhao and JoongDunk were the perfect cast for this role, and it was great seeing them bring the characters to life.

BISON
So like we all agree Bison is crazy right? Sure he dresses like a middle-age divorce woman from Santa Barbara, and his adorable face makes him looks like cute a plushie, but don't be fool, dude had the personality of a ticking bomb, you never know when he was gonna blow while giving you one of those adorable smiles. LMAO, the scene where he was imagining all the ways to off Kant after he found out he was a snitch had me going, 'Damn dude, yous is a cray-cray'. No, he had one solution for every problem he came across. 'Let's kill it.' Bison's character was the most intriguing to me, so of course he was my fav, and Khao as always was great in his role.

Also, I knew Bison was batshit crazy, but he's borderline psychotic, cuz who the hell eats their cupcake muffin from the centre? And when he took Kant to use that laundry line, out there in the open? In the prison when those men were bothering him, I shook my head like, 'Ah, so you want to die this morning.' They did eff around and found out. I don't know what it says about me that the psycho with the cute face is my fav, but Bison was my fav... so.

KANT
Kant. Oh, Kant. What a giant red flag you were. Sure he did all he did so he could clear his grand theft auto charges. Which sure, who wouldn't wanna be free from the popo, but all that love-bombing in the beginning was just cruel. Plus he let his best-friend flirt with a gun firing, steak knife wielding assassin and didn't tell him. Sure, Style would have screamed 'hell no' but letting your friend flirt with someone you suspects murder people for a living is sucky. Homeboy sucks, but, snitches do get stitches, or in his case lungs full of water. He lucky Bison decided to save him in the end. Fadel would have let him be fish food.

I did like how all out Kant went when he finally realised his feelings for Bison. Homeboy even managed to find a pro-bono job in the prison just so he could be closer to Bison. Ah the things crazy people do when they are in love. I also liked how he cared for his brother, what he had to go through to give his brother the best life he could, which makes him like 16% less sucky for his snitching era, but I just remembered Bison and Fadel's heartbreak when they learned the truth, sooo taking back that percentage. I'll give him one thing though, he was brave and one lucky mfker, cuz he faced both Bison and Fadel's guns and lived to tell the tale.

KANT & BISON
Okay, but first question, did FirstKhao take a masterclass in kissing cuz... fam, those smooches were on a whole new level of eating. Now how this people go back to being co-workers/friends after these scenes? I can never be an actor cuz what do you mean, 'no we are not married, I shaved my tongue down your throat for work'. Na ah, yous is my husband now. Shit, after a kiss like the one in the empty pool or on the hammock swing, there's no way I'm leaving without a ring. Unless the police throw me for prison, I am stuck on you like glue.

Anyway, the moment Bison started doing his little inlove-ness-ness cute thing with the tissue like a disney maiden in a musical, I knew he was a goner. These two should not work, but they did, cuz they both had pasts the other understood. I'm glad they found each other, kinks and all. Cuz only two crazy people will do it in a prison courtyard behind sheets. No shame whatsoever. Oh, and that titanic empty pool scene. FirstKhao's chemistry is really one of the best in the bl industry.

I am so happy that they finally got to see the northern lights, in that episode when Kant showed a projection of it, as a way to spend one last day with him, so he could betray him the next day, I was so mad at him, like, why are you doing the most romantic stuff with the worse of intention?? Was so happy when Bison made him jump into the sea, he deserved it for that one scene alone. Though, with everything they've been through, I know they gonna last forever.

STYLE
Style can annoy a ghost back to life. Homeboy was so in love with himself and the sound of his voice, even his father found out his son has been dating a killer for the past years and he was like 'Honestly, good, only a hitman can handle your dramatic arse. Good luck Fadel, hope you can survive him.' No, but, that child was crazy. Him still taking that car he won for the bet made me love him more. Also, Fadel has the patient of a saint, cuz if I was the one who kidnapped style i'd have brought him back within the hour. Heck, I might have just turned over my weapon to him and asked him to put me out of my misery. LOL, that boy had me laughing and shaking my head. I've never met such a friendly, yet, annoying stalker like him. And I don't know what that says about me that I love him this much. No, he's so annoying, but like... he's the best. When Style showed up in his tank-top in ep1, I knew he was going to be annoying as hell, and immediately I went, yes, more please,

There were so many Style moments I love in this drama, but my fav might just be when he was kidnapped. Like he had demands, even had Fadel stop so he could purchase a better outfit to die in, cuz he couldn't die in an ugly shirt, which, sure, understandable, no one likes an ugly corpse. But he even had them attending, and officiating a wedding, wanting kisses and a good time, that bathtub scene. Nah, I'd definitely had un-kidnapped him. And like that scene at the bowling ally, boy literally forgot there was a crazy person with a weapon because Fadel said he was someone else's boyfriend. Child, this is not the time nor place. Oh, how I love his dramatic arse.

FADEL
Mr. Cool assassin who comes off as cold, but is really soft at heart, and just wanna be in his kitchen all day cooking. Fadel had a heart of gold, and the will power of a mountain, cuz the strength it took for him to not kill Style needs to be studied. That scene when he took Style to the creepy forest place, I for sure thought Style was a goner.

Of the four characters, Fadel came off as the most broken. He didn't have expectation of anyone, and he kept everyone away so he wouldn't get hurt. The boy had his grave ready. Legit, was he just gonna go off one day, lie in it, and wait for someone to fill it with soil? Lol. He felt things the most, which is why I understood him when he was being difficult in the prison when Style didn't show up to teach. He was afraid of getting hurt again. Even after they found out Style and Kant betrayed them, and he wanted to get rid of Style, he still couldn't help but care for him. All it took was him thinking Style was gonna get hurt in the ocean for him to give in. So yeah, heart of gold, probably the best of the four.

Plus he really cared for Bison. He was his whole family and he took his job as brother/mother really seriously. Which good, cuz that mother of theirs was the devil.

Naaah, let my man cook in peace, he was born to be a lover not a hitman. The scene when he almost kill Kant but was talked down, and then then went back to his cooking had me laughing. Plus every time he looked at Style with such loving eyes, ahhh, no really, lover not a killer.

FADEL & STYLE
Fadel is like one of those people who are like: 'Dear dairy, I went out today, and the humans are still there. I hate everything.' And Style is one of those people who pets random dogs on the street and talk with everyone in the park. These two are so opposite they shouldn't even work as friends, yet their love story expand years. Fadel is someone who has been hurt so much from his last love, and now guards his heart, but here comes Styles, he walked right into his heart like a bulldozer, just forcing his way in and making a home there for himself until Fadel had no choice but to accept him. No, their love was really beautiful, and I enjoy every moment of it.

They drove each other insane, in a good way. JoongDunk have also grown in the kissing department. These two used to serve fish kisses, given us basically nothing, but look at them now. No, did the four cast take a masterclass in lips locking, where? when? who is teaching it? Boss? How can we sign up for it? Asking for a friend. Cuz... literally Fadel went from 30% to 60% with just a neck kiss. Anywho, personally, I wish Fadel all the best growing old with Style's dramatic arse. I mean it took years and he still couldn't teach him any mechanic's cuz all he did was yap. And yes, JoongDunk also did really well in their roles here, and I was very impressed by how well they brought their characters to life.

PLOT
As someone who read the novel while waiting to the series to air, I knew what was going to happen. I am so very grateful, that for the first time ever the screenwriters did more to the story than the novel. This was much more better than the novel. We got more plot, Style had more personality and wasn't two dimensional and the other three had more depth as well. So thank you khun director and khun screenwriter for this.

That being said, although the plot was interesting, made me laugh, cry, and laughed some more, there were a few things that had me question stuff. Like, what the hell was up with the episode where they tried to get dirt on the Mother? Are these two really sure they're professional hitman? How they stayed alive until now? Cuz Fadel went on a stakeout with Style who wore the brightest outfit he could find, homeboy might as well had gone with a neon sign that read, 'Yes, I'm following that one guy over there.' And of course he got caught, why won't he, in that hotel he and Fadel were literally just standing by the corner, like, three steps from Keen's vision. Also whoever put that hat on Fadel's head deserves prison or whatever powder they gave the mother. The moment I saw him in that hat, I said out loud to myself, 'See head, like bucket' and then laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

The way I was rolling my eyes when Style was able to disarmed Keen, and then at one point the gun was basically pointing at nothing. And the Mother, she couldn't spot Bison there on that golf course? Bison was literally standing like one umbrella away from her, he wasn't even in disguised, and the mother still didn't recognise/see him? Like??? And and, did Style leave to change his outfit before he went out to comfort Fadel? Priorities, am I right?

Also, during that kidnap Style scene, like was Fadel serious? Homeboy had his gun out, pointing at Style, inside an opened window car, on a busy road, full of witnesses with eyes... like, hello Mr. Hitman are you new here? What in the sorry arse kidnapping is that? It was like he wanted to get caught.

Of course there were scenes I loved: Like the scene at the beach when Bison was crying and asked if Kant was trying to lie to him again. I was a mess. When Fadel showed Style his empty grave. I was crying into my popcorn and pointing at him on my screen like 'Child, why you making people emotional on a random Wednesday, huh? When Kant kept saying Penguin. Look, personally I had more ways to add to Bison's list on how to off Kant's snitching arse, but that scene made me go, 'please, forgive him, he said penguin. Penguin, that's your thing, you can't kill him now.' Then, when style worked so hard to buy back Fadel's restaurant back for him. Our boy grew up so fast from his days of stalking Fadel and going 'Fadew, Fadew, Fadew.' Oh and the scene when they got arrested and they were both crying but Kant was trying to be strong to comfort Style. And when they were taking their mugshot, I was throwing popcorn at my screen hiccuping like 'booooo, set them free, that ugly prison outfit ain't even their colour.'

Ah, this series was supposed to be a romantic comedy but really, only Style understood the genre, the rest of the time the characters were out there making me too emotional.

So like is the Mother dead or what? These two are professional hitman, and they just left that woman sitting there, looking perfectly alive. What if she has an antidote? What if it was powder and she was bluffing? Prison softened them.

That being said, I know Fadel and Bison were like the reddest flag, dudes killed people for a living, but Kant and Style were also red flags. Cuz we have Kant's arse love bombing poor Bison, ready to snitch on him so he'd be free of his crimes, and Style stalking and disturbing a quiet gentle soul all because he wants an old car. In the end, all four really dd deserve each other.

All-in-all a very good drama, one of my favs, and a good way to start the year of bl. I'd recommend it to all bl lovers looking for an entertaining show, you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to FirstKhao and JoongDunk's next work, I am very much seated.

I’m Your Sky & You’re My Sea.

Game recognises game, and my man LEE, has GAME! The boy had 6mins, 41secs (yes I counted) and some nonsense line about the moon and walking or something and he worked!! Effortlessly. *Standing ovation* the real MVP. Also, that scene in ep8 almost gave me a heart-attack. I was screaming, ‘Noooo P’Fah do not put our cute fluffy boo-boo’s hand there!’ LMAO, for a second I think we all forgot this show was from Domundi and they real thirsty over there.

Listen, real talk, what’s in the water over at Domundi? Beauty juice, anyone? Do their dramas make me cringe, yes, do I keep rewatching? hell yes! One thing I’ll give them though, their dramas may be cringy but their face cards would never decline. In the first episode I was like, ‘are these models or actors?’ where the normal ugly looking humans at? where my people who roll up to school like we got ran over by a truck on the way?

Anyway, here’s my quick review checklist:

#1. Episode 1 had me rolling my eyes, judging. I literally said to myself. ‘Oh great, another childish show with nonsense plot. Literally what’s with all that cringe over a damn shirt? Give it a rest already.’ But by episode 3 my arse was going ‘ahhhhh why are they so cuteeeeeeeeeee. Sunday, where the eff you at? Come early!’

#2. The creepy vibes from Oh was so strong, like damn dude did you take extra courses for this or what? Thank God he disappeared halfway through the series and we all just forgot about him. He’s probably out there following that one dude who showed him kindness and still being creepy. #savethatonedude.

#3. Hia had me rolling my eyes after Real confessed his feelings. This child gave me a headache. Dude, you’ve been touchy touchy with your best friend and initiating stuff since episode 1, and now you wanna play Mary the virgin? Then of course, he’d make out with Real, and still say he’s not sure about his feelings. If only I could reach into the screen and slap him with a rubber chicken. No, every time he opens his mouth to lie about his feelings I go, ‘my brother, my brother, my brother, let us have peace. Go sit somewhere with your nonsense.’ Ain't no way his arse was still confused after that third kiss. Heck they should have married after that second kiss.

#4. Not gonna lie, I was bored the first few episodes, almost dropped this. And that one cringy scene where Rak shouted Fah’s name during that football game. Ahhhhh, I wanted to find some nice earth, dig a deep hole and just, lie inside. The secondhand embarrassment I felt...yikes. Man was out there having his High School Musical moment, and I wanted to disappear on his behalf.

#5. Also what the hell is up with Rak, a uni student acting like a child? Was he cute, sure, but what grown up acts like that? Bls needs to stop letting grown ups act so childish, it’s really unbecoming and nonsense.

#6. PUNLEE IS THE MAN: There was no nonsense on his part. He sees it, he likes it, he wants it, he gets it. I wish he’d have taught Hia a thing or fifteen, dude was wasting screen time with his nonsense.

#7. I did not care for the stupid misunderstandings from both the main and second leads. Especially that whole sequence with the confession at the airport. Boy you did not even wait to hear an answer and ran away to sulk at some abandon parking lot. Like??? Let us to be serious in this life people.

#8. The shock I got when Fah took Rak’s hand and led it south. I was like. ’NOOOOOO, not the baby, he’s not ready. He’s too innocent, please don’t do that! Stop it!’ Loved that he saw he wasn’t ready and stopped. The breath I let out. Fast forward to ep12, and I am singing 'The innocence is goneeeee.' Like, what angle was that even?

#9. Though, FAH did not waste 1 single second the moment Rak said he was ready. LMAO, my man was hungry!!! Rak grew up too fast. Tears. But it was done really sweet and beautiful, and it turned out Rak was not as innocent as I assumed.

#10. Episode 11 was so emotional. I went through anger, tears, understanding, then happiness for the two. We need to retire this whole episode 11 curse. For the love of all things bl, please, stop breaking our hearts!

#11. I repeat, PUNLEE IS THE MAN: For that one cafe scene alone, he’s officially my fav bl character of 2025.

12. FINALE: Everyone got their happy ending, so smiles all around for our couples. Liked how Rak's father apologised to Fah, and how mature Fah was about everything. Like how Rak sister has been supportive of him throughout this drama as well. That scene with Rak and Fah was... yeah innocence don't live here no more. Lee still the man! Hia and Real, about effing time.

#13. That theme song always had me doing a happy dance.

All in all. I enjoyed the stories of all the couples, they were entertaining even with the cliches and unnecessary misunderstanding. The plot wasn’t anything new or special, it’s been done in other bls. Fake dating turns real. The cast being new was noticeable, cuz the acting was nothing to write home about, so there’s a lot of room for improvement, but they still managed to hold my attention and kept me entertained so it was not time wasted. I will recommend this to anyone looking for a new bl to watche, especially Domundi lovers. It’s cute and fluffy and serious in some parts. I look forward to more from the cast.

Anywho, see you all for the next Domundi drama, my arse will tune in for anything Domundi.

Eternal Nanny: How To Purchase The Love Of Your Life

I know they say love is blind, but love ain’t that blind. My peoples, we need to do something about this thing call love cuz it’s making people crazy. Someone’s son is out there chopping love with a robot he purchased on a discount. No one, and I mean no one is that in love. One of my favourite bl novels ever is about this one guy who fell in love with a mushroom. So yes, I've done crazy and I love crazy, but this drama had me questioning my sanity cuz… BROTHA?

Look, I know we love dramas and bls because the romantic stories makes us all warm and fuzzy inside, and it makes us wanna fall in love. Sure, it gives us unrealistic romantic expectations, even still, we watch it, because some of us want that kind of romance and love in our real life. But I’m drawing a line. Cuz literally, this boy had to tell his friends they can't reveal the secret of his boyfriend being an ai or he'd get recycled. FAM!! Then of course, they went ahead and bought a custom made ai as their child. I'm--

Yes, I’m drawing a line. I’ve done a man falling in love with a mushroom, a vampire falling in love with a human, a man falling in love with a ghost, a panther falling in love with a penguin… yes, I’ve done it all, but purchasing an expensive arse robot/android, and yes, he did get a discount, still, purchasing a piece of metal to spend the rest of your life with is where I draw the line.

Listen, I know a human falling in love with a robot shouldn't be where I drew the line. I even thought I was overreacting by drawing said line, so naturally I called my best friend without mentioning this was a drama to tell her about the plot, cuz I needed her to confirm I’m not emotionally dead for not wanting that boy to end up with a robot, like:

ME: Stop whatever the eff you’re doing. I’ve got gossip and you won’t—

FRIEND: Do you think if I quit my job and become a stay at home happy person I can survive on willpower and s—

ME: Hush your face this ain't about you. Now listen, you for no believe story wey I hear for streets! Wonders dey for this world. My sista, na this thing call love go carry matter come give person. Love make fine boy mad for head. May this level of love never locate me. Someone’s son, proper son, go chop romance, love, real relationship where me self I no get, with robot. He carry ei heart go give android ai. Na machinery where ei papa purchase for lab. Wires for head and body. Wonders shall never end! Me self, never. I never go chop love for metal. God forbid.

FRIEND: So what I’m hearing is, you’re bitter because a robot found love before you? LMAO, you’re gonna die alone.

ME: I—

Obviously, she did not get it, cuz she’s a romantic at heart. And no I’m not bitter or jealous the robot got a rich, handsome husband. Pfft. I am not jealous! I AM NOT. Cuz really, when all is said and done, Immortal IV is more of a nanny than a lover, and really, all that boy purchased was a maid, who sometimes gives him sexy times.

Let me explain. So I’m sitting my somewhere, right? minding my own business when I saw this drama on one of those upcoming list. Naturally, I added it, and it starts airing, and I’m like, is this gonna be another ARE YOU HUMAN TOO? type of relationship. You know, that one kdrama where the girl fell in love with a robot.

This drama wasn’t bad. I didn’t watch the first one Anti-Reset so I went into this blind, so when this robot, sorry ai robot, started catching feelings, kissing, promising to be there for Luo Bushi and everything, all that went through my head was: But you are a machine. You are literally programmed as his butler to be there for him. Do you have real feelings or projected ones through stimulation and data collection?

Now they’ve ended up together and I’m sitting here like… so like, would he ever rust? Is there a special oil Luo Bushi have to grease him up with every year? Imagine taking your boyfriend to the mechanic cuz he stopped working. So like Luo Bushi is gonna get super old and die and they just gonna reset Immortal IV and ship him off to someone else, right? Cuz he costed a lot of money, and I heard they already lost one robot to another human guy.

Plus that robot wasn’t even smart or like superior. When Luo Bushi was thrown out the house and dirt poor, I thought, ah stock market. Nation-wide search for computer based jobs with fast payment. Instead, this advanced ai out there talking about it’s against the law so I’m just gonna find a job moving old junk from people's garage. Dude, you’ve already broken the main one by going against your owner and running away with his son to a motel! my friend you can break more rules and make money so you don't sleep in a sex motel.

Not gonna lie, not once did I think Ever IV’s feelings were genuine/real, cuz my brain saw him and all it could compute was, robot, that boy is in love with a robot. Robots don’t have feelings. I barely understand the science behind this. A friend even explained the concept of Android ai’ and robots to me, and my head is still like, ‘Hey everyone, come look at this, that boy right there fall in love with a robot.’

Anyway, yeah, so during episode 9, that whole emotional door scene, where Luo Bushi was deep crying one scene and then looked completely fine the next, my arse was side eyeing them like. ‘My friend, my friend, let us be serious in this life! The butler is going back home, literally, all you have to do is go back with him so they’d stop hurting him, what’s with this dramatic arse scene?’ And also how is the robot hurting and dying of pain? Huh?

Was it sad and emotional, probably, but at this point in the series, I’ve wasted all the effs I can give trying to understand the science, and was just going through the motions, so really, everything was touch and go there.

Then of course, episode 11 happens and these two declare their love, and me and that father are on the same page that the son is cray cray, but the romantic part of me that’s wired to go ‘oooh awww’ in dramas with nonsense stupid romantic plot-lines is alike ‘awwwww, they’re so sweet, look at how he treats the robot like a human and they are in love. He’s gonna get old and die and he’s gonna get reset and butler someone else, but awwwwww *in love noises.*

But like, let us be serious in this life. This boy did all that all so he can end up with a machine. I don’t care how advance it is, or how well it can stimulate or upgrade its human-ness-ness, human emotions can’t be truly replicated and so no matter how in-love Immortal IV seems to be with Luo Bushi, in my head it’s what he’s been programmed to do, and so it can never be real. Sure to him it's real, but still our rich boy must know it's not, right?

And that boy’s father, yes not the best father, is suffering. Cuz not only is this boy out there worrying his father, guilting him into letting him be with this robot, he even have to watch them do lovey dovey stuff. And now the father can’t even say no, cuz then the son would be sad, so he has to send this robot out to go ask his developers if they can sell him on a discount.

HAHAHAHAHA, my peoples, we are seeing stuff in the name of love in these bls/dramas. Cuz what do you mean that rich boy fell in love with his AI and now they are gonna be together forever? Love go kill person! Love go carry matter for peoples head! Is love really that blind???

I’m still wondering what happened to that one girl who fell in love with the robot in ARE YOU HUMAN TOO? Like, how is it going for them? Is my sister still going strong with that machine or did it get a wire glitch and murdered her in her sleep? Or did it rust and she sold his part on e-bay? I need answers.

FINALE: I admit, they almost got me with their in love-ness-ness in the finale, but then Luo Bushi had that fear of IV broken, getting recalled and destroyed and I was like, huh! See, this is what I've been saying. your boyfriend could glitch any moment and explode. But, still, they were cute making their promises to each other. Both first and second leads had their happy ending, seems the second lead are gonna have a robot baby too... so, yeah, happy endings all around.

Anyway, it is what is it. The romantic part of me, is like,’ love is love man, love is love’, but the rational part is worried Immortal IV will glitch one day and forget Luo Bush completely and they’d have to program him to love our rich boy again. But, at least Luo Bushi looks happy with his purchase and their robot baby and he’s not gonna die alone, so.. yaaay love?

If you already watched the first one, give this a watch to see some old faces, to anyone new, give this a chance if you are looking for something easy to shut your mind off too, it's simple and has it's moment.

Perfect 10 Liners & Their Sweethearts

24 weeks and all I learned was that being single is not for the weak. But between ArcArm round around that started with Arc driving Arm into an accident, YothaGun's situationship that ended with them crying in the bathroom and gangsters, FaifaWine and that one fine man that showed up to give Faifa a heart attack, is being single really that bad? Also, why were these people so dramatic cuz of some small relationship they were chopping. Let us breathe peoples!! Are you the only ones in love?

Listen, this series was long, but there were episodes that had me laughing, some that had me throwing hands, and others that just made me roll my eyes, but all in all, a decent show with a rocky start, a solid middle and an acceptable ending. Let me explain.

ARC & ARM = Rating: 4/10
I’m sorry, but am I the only one who honestly think ForceBook have become too comfortable with each other to the point of being boring? They were chopping romance in that ugly orange couch and I was just vexed, cuz:
#1. Their chemistry is questionable. Yes, it’s there but like in a friendship, we are comfortable kissing each other way, so we don’t mind being paired sort of chemistry. They don’t even feel like they’re an old married couple like EarthMix, they just come off like they came to work one Tuesday and someone bet them to kiss their best friend so they were like ‘arite, but like you need to pay us for it.’ And that was it.
#2. Is that how you chop romance with a man you’re over the top in love with? What’s with all that face sniffing? My friend, let us be serious for this life. This is the type of romance you chop with someone you owe money. Is he your debt collector? Please grab that boy and kiss him and stop with the sniffing, enough already. I know they gave us that one scene, but like, after that it was all sniff here, sniff there, Arm getting drunk again.
#3. Their interactions after their arc wasn’t as romantic as YothaGun, cuz whenever they showed up, Arc was playing a cool guy with his hands in his pocket trying to look all aloof, and Arm was being loud and getting drank so he can be louder. Is it me or they had more lovey-dovey chemistry in their previous work?
#4. Meh. Was it the role? Did they just not fit it?

No. Just. This arc almost made me give up on this show. Sometimes, we just need to let things die with grace. Honestly I don’t really remember their arc all that well, heck I even forgot they had a second couple until I saw them in ep23, and I don’t blame myself, this drama aired for a hundred years and then some. No really, while it was airing, Jesus was born, and now he's about to get die, that's a whole life.

I’m still going huh at that scene when Arm went ballistic cuz he lost a t-shirt? What was up with that? Was it because it was his lovers or cuz he was overwhelmed? I still don’t fully understand why he hurt himself to get it.

Still arc had it's moments: which for me was Arm’s friend group. They had me laughing with their dramatic antics. That one who always got left behind when they met their partners, made me realised single life is is not for the weak. As for the rest of their arc, I remember the rain t-shirt scene, there was the mandatory beach scene … Sea and Tay were there, oh and the bracelet, though I personally think it's ugly/tacky was a nice romantic gesture so…

---Pond & Sand---
These two had no chemistry whatsoever. Who paired these couple? I feel like they had some chemistry in We Are when I first saw them there, here, nothing. They saying romantic stuff and I’m like: ‘who’s under the table with the paper you’re reading from?’ cuz that’s how it came off as. It felt like they were literally reciting their romantic lines off a board while they were filming. I did not feel their connection one bit, then of course they got sidelined, and didn’t keep popping up like rent was due like the other couples, so really I don’t feel bad about forgetting them.

Yeah, anyway, so this was my lest favourite arc out of the three cuz it didn’t really hold my attention, but it was watchable, so you should stick with it until the other arc starts, if not, watch episode 1 and skip to YothaGun's arc, you won’t really be missing anything important. Unless you like ForceBook like I do, then suck it up and watch it for them.

YOTHA & GUN = Rating: 6/10
You know what’s funny? How these two managed to put us in so much stress, when we knew they were gonna end up being boyfriends, cuz they literally started episode 1 in the future where they were boyfriends. Like, why were we out here stressing, crying, throwing up cuz they sucked at communicating and were breaking their own hearts?

I’d given up on this series until their arc started. They lit the fire under the show. The reason I stayed wasn’t even because of them, but because Faifa was in their arc. I love that dude so much. So yeah, I’m glad I didn’t give up and stuck with it, cuz Yotha and Gun’s arc was really good, made for some amazing discussions and brought the tl alive.

PerthSanta had great chemistry and played off each other’s character very well. There was never a dull moment with YothaGun. Al those close up stares with their faces so close, those tie scenes, those sleeping on the same bed scenes, so cute. But damn they were dramatic with their feelings: seducing and breaking up peoples' relationships, fighting with gangsters, sleeping with the lights on, crying in the bathroom there, doing the devil tango in Gun's parent's house. Yeah, they did a lot.

I’m sure everyone remembered where they were that Sunday when Yotha decided to find answers in Wa’s mouth and kissed him. Me, I was having water soup that day. But damn, I vexed. Like, how could you do that to Gun? WHY? I was so happy when Faifa took Gun’s side and they sent him packing. No, but these two stressed me out. Gun lying he could handle the no label situationship, breaking his heart over and over again, Yotha kissing Gun every chance he got, doing boyfriend stuff with him, saying lovers stuff to him then still insisting he didn’t know about his feelings cuz some dude broke his heart ones, and he has mama issues. Ahhhh, if I could reach through that tv with my rubber chicken! Like, let us breathe people. Are you the only ones in love? Let us have peace. I wanted to shake them, but, since everything ended up how it should, I guess, I’ll get over it.

I’m glad they figured it out in the end. Though my heart broke for Faifa when Yotha got his closure with their mom at his expense. That mother really sucked. Anywho, thanks to whoever paired PerthSanta cuz they did all of us a solid with that one.

---Wa & Klao---
I love the addition of them. Wa… this dude, I legit felt bad for Klao a lot of times, cuz Wa expected his boyfriend to be fine with him putting his ex first. Talking about I’m his whole universe and whatnot, how’s that fair to Klao? Then he kept breaking up with him, letting the poor boy get into fights and being all sad and pathetic waiting to beg and apologise so Wa would take him back. Nah, he did him so bad. I wasn’t even mad Klao didn’t like Yotha, who would? Wa needed to take lots of step back and check himself in the mirror cuz his attitude wasn’t it.

But they were so sexy though… oof, did y’all see them? Heck even Yotha’s room wasn’t spared. Klao knew what he was doing asking them to do it there, and then asking Yotha to help with the proposal, my man wasn’t taking any chances.
Also, I was laughing like hell when Klao character suddenly turned serious with those outfits, showing up like no I don’t smoke or drink, and now I wear grown up clothes. HAHAHAHA. Sure it was better than when he showed up every other episode to huff and puff and walk off either ashamed or angry, but still this serious version had me rolling.

FAIFA & WINE = Rating: 6.5/10
This was my favourite arc of the series. Why. FAIFA. I love him. The moment he showed up on screen, I was like, lol who is he and why he trying to slide in with the new kid like that? My arse did not know they were the third couple until like 2 coffee meet-cutes later then it clicked, and I was sold. I love FaifaWine.

These two were the kings of COMMUNICATION. After having to scream at my screen at Yotha and Gun to just talk, Faifa and Wine were a breath of fresh air. Sure, perhaps some may say they talked too much, and if they were a book they’d be more Tell than Show, but personally I loved how they talked about everything, it was in line with Faifa’s character, plus Wine was more than happy for the them to talk things out and get their facts straight, so yeah, I enjoyed the communication.

These two did not waste time in the romance department, straight to kissing, then Faifa's single-never-dated-arse tried to teach Gun dating tips, while the whole time he was just getting himself a boyfriend. Heck I hated this Tor person even before we met him, and then when we did, my arse was like… ‘hihi, I didn’t… please go away, respectfully…haha, your eyebrows are so fine!’ LOL, but why Gmmtv almost made us switch teams for a second? Not me though, I didn't switch teams for a second, trust me, my words are truer than my auntie's church wig. Mmmm hmm!

In case I haven't said it enough, Faifa was my favourite character cuz he felt the most relatable. I felt sorry for him when it came to the problem with his mother, which I still think they shouldn’t have forgiven her so easily, cuz again, the mother just suck! Plus nothing she did or said felt like she sincere meant her apology or have even learned a lesson, or even knew what she did wrong. I was so happy when Faifa finally met Wine, who wanted him to be himself instead of a people pleaser, who made him see the difference between everyone and having someone special, which… I swear I am done with the ‘word’ special, like enough, we get it, you’re special to each other. Dayum!

Now that tent scene. These children wild. Cuz what you mean you doing all that in public? during a concert? with many people around? In a tent with silhouette on full display? And for your first time together too? Wild, just wild. Damn, I wasn’t familiar with your game… but carry on.

Faifa to Wine: "My life wasn't just missing things, it was broken, you fixed it."
Faifa to Wine: "Thank you for reducing what I have too much of and filling in what I'm missing."
Just putting these quotes here so you'd know how Wine healed Faifa, in returned he also healed Wine's chipped heart. Ahhhh, they are so made for each other.

This arc didn’t have a second couple, cuz all the other couples had to have screen time. Not gonna lie, sometimes I just wanted the other pairs to go away so we can get more Faifa and Wine. What I was looking forward to the most was how Faifa and the mother fix their issue. But it was apparently resolved off screen by Gun who let the mother understood some stuff… why couldn’t we see that when it’s a big part of Faifa’s character? Meh. Sure we got her sorry arse stupid apology that was like, 'I didn't love you enough cuz other people loved you.' Hows is that... how couldn't she see problem with that statement???

Also, my arse went ‘my friends, my friends, let us be serious in this life’ when Arm and Gun were acting like relationship experts and giving advice and wanting to orchestrate things between Faifa and Wine. Peoples we saw yous a few minutes ago acting fools and crying your eyes out cuz you sucked at doing this love thing. If you don’t go sit down somewhere.

I love the friendship between Faifa and Wine, they were funny and there when the other needed them, but most of the time they were just bickering and it was fun. Also Faifa and Phuri. Hahaha those one line english drops, and their dramatic arse, I start laughing the moment I see Phuri, love his character.

FINALE:
That one hour felt longer than the entire series. My fav part was the behind the scenes in the credits, and Yotha and Faifa finally talking about the mother, no matter how short it was. Very sweet, everyone was happy all around. Well, except for Po who said no one ever died from being single then died so, I guess he's not happy. Klao and Wa are getting married. I think Yotha and Gun are engaged but like on the wrong finger, so a promise? Arc and Arm are, well, you all saw it. And Faifa and Wine like tents. All in all, a very happy ending finale as one would' expect from a show like this one.

OVERALL
The plots were nothing new we, but the actors made the characters interesting and the show fun to watch, Although I went 24 episodes?? Now that it's ended, I'm sad it won't be there every Sunday. Again, the third arc was my favourite, and Faifa was my favourite character with Gun being a close second although he annoyed me so much when he kept breaking his own heart with his dumb decision to be in a situationship with Yotha when he knew he couldn't handle it.

All in all, a good show, not sure I’d have enjoyed it as much if they did it 3 separate shows, but when everything is put together I quite liked the overall production and would recommend it to all bl lovers or at least anyone who like any of these cast. And remember, being single is not a serious disease. No one ever dies from being single. ^^

All Of Us Are Dead

Okay, what kind of dead was that? My man was eating, sleeping, doing the devils tango, solving mysterious, sending emails, going to the effing library to read?? huh? Bish is you dead or not? Also, how he got such good internet connection from the past? But like, this was me throughout 79% of the drama going: Is he dead? He's dead isn't he? Wait, which one of you is dead? Ahmmm, can dead people get on their knees and do that with their mouths? Literally, are you dead dead or like on a try run? Boy you knew he was dead the whole time and still... damn, if only that river could talk!

Okay, so can someone explain to me how ghost mechanics work in this reality? Cuz Mas seemed fine with everything the two were doing, and then suddenly he was sick? Also the dead guy needed sleeping pills to travel to the past? I am confused, how could he get to the past? Is that a ghost thing? And did the writers forget to hint out the 'sucking of life force' thing if they stayed close together, cuz shoving that into the last two episodes was not it. I was like, hmmm, since when? They'd been kissing and doing stuff and he seemed fine, my man even asked for seconds. I wish we had hints thoughout, would have made more sense. Or did we, and I didn't notice?

To be frank, I legit thought Mas was the dead one for a good amount of time, and then I was like... wait a minute... they can't leave the town/house, Khen is making goggly eyes at that ancient grandpa in his youth. Either they've time-traveled, or like bishes are dead. So like, this was a time-travel/ghost story right? Cuz Mas even visited the future ones. How the hell did he do that when he wasn't even dead. Nope, not gonna question that, don't want no headache.

Listen, I already did the confusion, what the hell is going on thing in 4Minutes, so my arse was ready to give up on this drama like half way through episode 2. But, then, I stayed, cuz for some reason, my brain decided it wanted to watch something scary, although I rush to sped it up whenever creepy music starts playing. Yes, it was slow pace, the acting, well, and story was all over the place, but I stayed, showed up every week, and I wasn't disappointed. Yes, it was slow pace, the acting, well, and story was all over the place, but

I cried, when they finally revealed that the friends all died in the accident. When the two heard footsteps and then found the rescue team and their bodies, I had to put it on pause to get it together. And Khen losing it, when he finally realised was even more emotional. The last few episodes made me reach for the tissues.

Plot:
Flat out confusing, and if you look closely, lots of holes and stuff that makes no sense. It was slow building, could bore some people, and sometimes felt like it was going nowhere. But, I actually enjoyed it. It gave me a sort of 'The Others' vibe, and I really enjoyed watching it. I kept waiting for Khen to figure out his situation or for Mas to tell him, although I knew it was going to be sad when he does. I also like how they gave us a side story with Khampuan and Sompho. At first I was like meh, but then it got really interesting with the reveal and everything. So yeah, interesting concept, but could have been delivered better.

Characters
I liked Mas and Khen. Yes, the actors are new, and the acting was noticeable, especially in a serious drama like this one. But, it still didn't take away from me enjoying the characters. I liked them as a pair, and none of them annoyed me, so that was a win for me. I also loved the two females' storyline, they did great and added to the drama as whole. As for the friend group, and the rest, they felt like background prop. At one point I went: if that one friend don't stop calling out 'Khen' every two seconds, imma riot.

The Finale:
Mas' mother showed up. Me: woman, didn't you evaporated last episode? I thought yous moved on. Ghost in this drama just keep doing whatever they want. That being said, I want one more episode where everything is happy happy. Cuz you telling me they could have met and fallen in love in Khen's time, but they miss each other and Khen left for that work and died?? So they don't get to be together in two lifetimes :(((( why? why writers, what did I do to you?? When Mas woke up and Khen had already moved on, I wanted to cry. Leaving behind that cherry blossom just hurt. I need a second season where they get reborn and get their happily ever after.

And was that baby Khen? So like... Mas' gonna act like a father for him or a godfather? See, we need 1 or 20 more episodes. That being said, I liked what we got in the finale. Loved how the friends waited for Khen so they could move on together. It was sad, but it couldn't have been done any way else, the whole premise of the story was one of them being a ghost. So, I am fine with the ending, I went more, but I accept this one.

All-all-in a good watch. Some things could have been done better, and many would find the slow pace boring, but I personally enjoyed it, so I'd recommend to anyone looking for a ghost and human from the past fallen in love story. I'm looking forward to seeing more from the leads. Give it a watch if you have time.

The War Prisoner

See, now this is why I poke love with a stick. I see it coming, I order an uber. Cuz what do you mean, Duan killed and conquered an innocent kingdom, so he can kidnap Shu He and go, 'I did it for you boo, cuz I love you.' And Shu He played along with that nonsense reason, gave away his cookie and married Duan, only to drink poison and die as the ultimate revenge. Fam? That being said, that was some next level hating. Shu He is a professional hater, and I respect that. Let me explain.

First off, before I start my review, I'd like to say, Duan's brother is the worst. Mfker got hair and thought he was part of the team. Like, this ain't about you Sharon. Who even are you, and why is you talking? Like you are not important to this whole thing, go and sit done. I hate him so much, and if I knew where he lived, I hide in a corner and poke him in the eye on Christmas, just to ruin his holidays.

Anyway, you know that saying: 'holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die?' Shu He said, eff the other person, imma hold on to my grudge, drink the poison and die just to spit Duan. Mfker was playing the long game in the worse way possible and I felt bad for Duan, which is saying something, cuz after Duan invaded Shu He's kingdom, I was like: 'You know what, I forgive Hua Yong, turns out there's levels to this crazy possessiveness love thing, and he's only on level 7. Duan just obliviated the goddamn scale'. So yeah, I thought Duan sucked and deserved Shu He's anger and indifference, but this whole time Shu He was planning to hurt him where it would hate the most. The heart. And boy did it ever.

Listen, this drama hurt, but like in a bittersweet way. I saw the unhappy ending coming, what I didn't see coming was how deep Shu He hatred was. When I tell you my mouth was opened when we finally learned of Shu He's revenge plan? Dude was literally sleeping with the enemy, a man he loved but hated. He wanted revenge for his love, his brother and his kindgom, and I do get it, I really do, but really Janet? That's some next level of hatred.

Which brings us to Shu He's reason for playing the long revenge game. First off, his kingdom, sure, but didn't Duan's soldiers matched into that kingdom like they owned the place because literally no troops were at the gate, so they just made themselves at home? And Duan also mentioned Shu He's people were already planning on overthrowing him, even still, to some degree I get why he wanted avenge his kingdom. But DAFUG you mean you doing this to avenge your brother too? I'm sorry, in what planet does that crown prince deserve avenging? Somebody should have spat on his grave. The mfker was trying to kill you! He literally had your hand broken so you couldn't do the one thing you loved anymore, and oh, yeah, he murdered your father in cold blood. Like I don't get it? What was so special about that prince that both Shu He and Huo Ying loved him and acted foolish?

The brothers in this show fucking sucked and did not deserve the love and devotion they got. Shu He's brother disgraced, hurt and attempted to kill him on multiple occasions. Then we have Duan's brother, you know the ex monk. Literally who the eff kept giving that dude the microphone? Like shut up Bob, this ain't about you. Every time he opened his mouth he made me wanna punch him in the throat. In the last episode, when he was sitting with them eating I kept going, 'Why is you here? You not part of this group? Who gave him a plate?' Arrrgggggg, dude was in the series for like 2.3 minutes and I hated him with a burning passion. Just the worst.

Duan Zi Ang & Xiao Shu He
Yes, I loved the main leads so much in this drama. Their love was beautiful and yet so tragic. In the last scene when they met in the afterlife and they were smiling I was like, 'Dafug is you all smiling and happy about, you are dead.' With how everything was going, I didn't expect them to have a happy ending. Cuz, literally the timeline of their love spelled out tragedy. They started their relationship with secrets and lies. Then they made us all sad when everything came out by stabbing and breaking up, and then there was the whole I destroyed your kingdom and shamed you in front of your people and ancestors cuz I love you crap, then being a war prisoner, Duan's impeding death, Shu He pretending to forgive, forget and love, that scene in the finale when Shu He played the zither and Duan danced? (the whole time I was like, dude is you not dying? why you posing for the camera and doing all that hand stuff? and what is up with that sun rays?) and finally him being a vengeful husband who drunk poison and died. So yeah, anyone who expected anything other than this tearjerker bittersweet ending must have not been paying attention.

Given all that, I still loved them, flaws and all. I understood Duan and why he did what he did. Of course his stupid head brother effed things up for him a lot, and made Shu He hate him even more. And I understood why Shu He couldn't forgive him and wanted to avenge all the wrong done to him. But at what cost people? All that pain, and really, all they both wanted was a little farm land somewhere, Shu He playing his zither and Duan fetching the water and keeping the house. Sounds so much like what Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian's wanted, and we all know how the Untamed began so...

That being said, we should not forget Duan legit went crazy there for a moment there. Dude ended countless lives, his father's included because Shu He refused to reply to his letter one time. Then he duplicated the 6th prince home and wanted a thank you for it. Dude, read the room, you are literally the elephant. Like, which part of his hatred aren't you getting?

Anyway, after all that, they both died and are happy in the afterlife, I hope. That crown prince is still there, so one can never be sure. I trust Duan to stab him again if he starts up his nonsense.

Crown Prince & Huo Ying
Another nonsense love I wish never locate me. Huo Ying being in love with the man who knowingly gave him an incurable poison, physically abused him and then sent him away to die was rubbish. Yes, yes, but forget those ingredients he gathered for a seemingly ‘cue’, cuz it was the least the Crown Prince could do. And all that time, Huo Ying had a very handsome, un-crazy, in love doctor making goggly eyes at him and bringing him candy, and homeboy was like, 'sorry, I hate sweets, I'm in love with a psycho, and I've decided to die a virgin'. All that for a dead man who waited in the afterlife for the brother he hated and didn't even ask about you. Pfft.

No. Cuz the eff you mean, that beautiful guard is gonna die alone and unloved cuz he was in love with a Crown Prince with the emotional stability of a fidget spinner and the IQ of a potato? And I say say potato, cuz how the eff you gonna commit patricide to usurp the throne from your father, then tell your soldiers to wait while you -tra la lala- down the road to go off your brother alone? Literally, that was the dumbest decision ever, and of course, he immediately got stabbed and shaved off a bridge. Like, what did he think was gonna happen? We need to be serious in this life peoples!

Plot-wise, I enjoyed myself with all the palace and political intrigued. The cast was great, the main carried the show beautifully and the side did what they were supposed to. It seemed there was a lot to tell, but not enough episodes so the pacing was fast, and we messed some stuff with time jumps and narratives, but I didn't mind it, cuz I was still able to follow the main plot. I still don't understand why Shu He loved his brother so much after all that, and even forgave and avenged him. Blood is thicker than water indeed, not my blood though, if it was me, I'd have ordered pizza the moment he hit the floor.

All in all, a very good drama. I highly recommend, even with the bittersweet ending. I wish we get to see the main cast do something together again, either way I am seated for more work from them, liked them a lot. If you haven't watched this yet, hurry and give it a chance, you'd enjoy it, trust me.

More Playlover Than Cosmetic

I've poked myself in the eye one too many times using eye-liner pencil, so I thought this show was going to offer some indirect tips on doing make-up, boy was I wrong. Also, am I the only person so tired of these 'perfect-can-do-everything' male leads?

And, for a show that promised 'cosmetic' there was barely any up close. They 'talked' about make-up, showed us some shots of them 'advisor-ing' what products to use, we just never got to see any of it in depth. Which was a shame, but okay, cuz this show wasn't about that, it was more about what happens behind the scenes.

Listen, Natsume is one of the most realistic characters I've come across in BLs. He's annoying, optimistic, over-thinker, too nice, insecure and did I mention annoying? I LOVED, how human his character was. Watching him go from feeling supportive and proud of Tome to becoming jealous when he reached places his career hasn't, was very realistic and the biggest reason I liked the show. It showed how human he was, and how the green-eye monster almost always get the best of us.

But then, Gaaawddd I wanted to slap him with a rubber chicken when he kept assuming/making decision for Tome without hearing his side of things. Yes, I understand he meant well, but dafug you mean go to New York cuz his crazy arse brother who wears sunglasses in doors wants him to? Literally that boy mentioned Tome was alone during his childhood, and then you wanna believe family is what he needs? At least let him solve his own family issue if you want them to work it out. Yes, you're welcome to give your opinion but don't make decisions for him. Also that fight/misunderstanding they had which made Tome go to Paris was not it. Natsume is so insecure at times that I just wanted to shake him. But then again, it's not his fault, Tome's character came off as an arrogant god-like individual who could do no wrong, so how could he not feel inferior beside him?

Tome. Tome felt like most male leads in these BLs. He's handsome, good at basically everything he touches and the lead talks about him as if he hangs the moon. Nothing special, we've seen it a million times and me personally, I wanna throw rocks at those male leads, cuz perfect characters annoys me by default. It's the reason I've stopped reading YA books, the female leads are always so effing special and all the males want them.

Anyway, yes, Tome being the 'perfect' type of character made him my least favourite immediately, but then, in that episode when he finally told us why he came off as arrogant, I got him. And I understood him even more when we learned he basically raised himself. I understand why he became aloof to everything after how those jealous of him treated him. So, by the end, I didn't dislike his character at all. I came to sympathised.

I liked how in the end it seemed the two have reached a good place in their career and relationship. They could have done more with the plot, but given how each episode was under 30mins, and we only had 8 episode, I'm not surprised this was all we were given. I'm okay with what we got, it was enjoyable nonetheless. Though, what I keep wondering with the finale. Did Tome leave that dinner to go stand by the water and wait? LMAO, they couldn't just walk there together? I found it so random, and it made me laugh.

The plot of course wasn't very much, but I liked the leads, which made watching the show enjoyable. They were good in their roles, and acted it well, with good chemistry as well. As for the side-characters, they were basically props and expositions. Literally Natsume's mother and sister showed up one time to be fangirls, that random dude who wanted revenge or whatever, was there so we learned Natsume is good at noting stuff down in this black book, and I won't even talk about that dude who mentioned Natsume is his type, he was just loud and there to cause not-very-interesting drama. And that boy he went to see the fireworks with was clearly created as nothing more than to be the exposition.

All in all, this show is basically about two people in the workplace trying to make their way doing what they love. They fell in love along the way, and like always, there's misunderstandings and fireworks while kissing, but overall an enjoyable show. It's also different in how we got to see another industry portrayed in a bl. If you wanna watch it for the cosmetic, there isn't much of it, but if you want an un-heavy show to rewind, then this one is for you. I'll recommend it.

Ossan's Nonsense

First off, who keeps putting Mix in those old men cloths? Like does he owe money to someone working at the Gmmtv costume department, cuz it’s getting ridiculous. Every time Mo was on screen I checked behind him, wondering if someone was going to pop up and take him to a retirement home. They made him look so dull and boring.

MO
Mo was annoying. Yes, he had some trust issues, some self-esteemed ones as well, but really Susan? This dude would make a dumb decision and then be all moody about it the next second scene and disturb the viewers about it. Yes, yes, I liked when him and Heng were together, but still, super effing annoying. Cuz one of this problems literally went like this:

MO: OMG, I don’t want you to tell your mother we are dating. Instead pretend date your best-friend who you were in love with, and who is in love with you now.
HENG: No, I won’t. Let me tell my mother.
MO: Please, date her. Really, this idea is just the best, trust me.
*Two-seconds later*
MO: They look like a family. *sad, crying* Heng let’s break up, because you and your pretend girlfriend looks like you are dating.
ME: 🤨

We all know Heng was portrayed as the not so smart character, but really the dumbest person on this show was Mo. Even in the finale when Heng was like, "I’ll honor the engagement and marry you Boss." Mo said and did nothing, going ‘what’s the point he won’t remember anyway.’ Do you love him or nah? His stupid hero complex, which really was a stupidity complex was annoying as hell. You won’t say anything, but expect different results. Pick an effing struggle Sharon.

Yes, Mo was annoying. Every episode he was like: 'Oh no, look at me, look how sad I am. I sacrificed my love for Heng, so he’d be happy,' Sacrificed what Bob? All you did was kept your mouth shut and looked real sad at the camera. Go sit somewhere. Meh. Between those ugly arse outfits and his dumb decisions I was almost disappointed he ended up with Heng. If he’s gonna be so dramatic every time, then what’s the point? All he’s gonna do is stress poor Heng out. This role wasn't Mix's best, and unfortunately, those outfit didn't do him any good either.

HENG
Naive and dumb, and talked like he was standing beside a washing machine. But, I liked him. Can't say Heng was my favorite character, but he was a close, cuz he was the only one I could tolerated enough to care about so I guess he's number one by default.

Earth’s acting here, I know might not be for everyone cuz we all saw him when he was being typecast as the cool brooding type, but personally I think the character he played in Moonlight Chicken had the personality of a tablespoon and was very annoying. He was always like: 'Brood brooding, I’m gay and I am poor. Cry crying, my ex-boyfriend is cheater. Me me me, I sell chicken.' We get it, your life is sad, you’re not that special Sharon, move it along.

So yeah, this to me was refreshing, I liked it. He made me laughed at times and shook my head with shame the next at his stupidity/naivety. Don’t care about what anyone says, he did well with this role. As for the character himself, his pure naive heart is too good for this world.

BOSS
Creepy. Man couldn’t take no for an answer, and just kept forcing what he wanted on Heng every time. Also am I the only one who threw up a little in their mouth every time he said Hengney? Was that supposed to be cute? EW.

Yes, he was funny at times, made me laugh, but most of the time I found him very very creepy and also annoying. Like, he couldn’t see he was coming out as a desperate, creepy loser? Literally he must have seen he made Heng uncomfortable right? From the creepy stalking pictures, to the forced dating, to the living with him, to the proposal, everything he did was just wrong.

Yeah, I'm glad he didn’t end up with Heng, cuz… no.

PLOT
Well, we got what we got. I haven't seen the original Japanese version and this adaptation in no way made me wanna watch it. As a matter of fact, it made me wanna remove it from my to watch-list. So...

Still, let me just add, having an amnesia plot in the last episode was so effing unnecessary and made me rolled my eyes. Such a waste, if you don't have enough plot to make a full episode, end it at episode 10, it's not by force to do 12 episodes. All that constant flashbacks, waste of time. Whoever wrote this… actually whoever approved this, count your toes!

FINALE
Anywho, my thoughts on the finale.

- P’Ten: “He let you go because he loved you.”
HAHHAHA, make someone’s son come tell me such nonsense, na prison we go both sleep that night. Nothing vexes me past stupid romantic gestures.
- Also his best-friend, that bartender girl, who knew the truth that Heng loved Mo and vice versa, literally shut her mouth so her best friend, who has amnesia would marry his creepy boss who makes him uncomfortable. May this type of friendship never locate me! Though, that could be her revenge for her broken heart, you know the: if I can’t have him, you can’t have him, and he can’t have the one he loves either. Good for her.
- Boss screaming at Heng to go to Mo. Like? Boss went through the whole ceremony, vows and everything, then he finally sees Heng is still hesitant and then stopped it. What, was it his fantasy to be left at the alter? And were we supposed to feel sorry for Boss that he told Heng to go to Mo? Yeah, I don’t do sympathy on Mondays. The audacity, going through a wedding you know the amnesia victim doesn’t want and trying to play some sort of good guy. Miss me with that sh!t.
- I’m sorry but HAHAHSKSKKSKS what the hell was up with that clapping that the quest did for being Boss rejected?
- Also is it just me or did like only two people came to this wedding? At first I was like, oh no, all the money he had wasted, gone to waste, then I saw the venue and went: ah, never mind, wedding on a budget, we move.
- Mo running home and playing the victim again in that grandpa knitted vest. Seriously, was the original Japanese character this indecisive and annoying? Bish do you wanna play the hero or the goddamn victim, pick an effing personality. At this point, Heng should just be alone. Heck, he’d have a better chance married to one of those ugly toys/plushies he liked for an episode and the writers completely forgot about.
- Mo running after that carriage. Not gonna lie, my eye-roll turned into laughter, cuz… I just… yeah.
- The Boss randomly showing up with a carriage to help Mo. Again, stop forcing the redemption arc cuz this dude literally said ‘I’m helping you guys cuz I’ve been your Boss for years and know how much you two have been through’. Then WHY the eff were you adding to their problems every chance you got, Janet? Literally, two seconds ago you were trying to marry Heng, like???
- If this boy don’t stop this ‘Ah Heng, Ah Heng.’
- Me throughout that whole shouting confessing scene: "It’s Monday, please don't add more anger on top of my own." Then the Boss showed up and I lost it laughing. Also, why he keeps popping up? Did he ran there?
- Boss giving Heng and Mo hands to each other, like he’s approving it and giving them his blessing. Why? What right did he have? Nothing vexed me past when he walked away in slow motion with a smile like he did something. Well, at least his outfit looked better than Mo's, so there’s that.
- This magic of True Love’s Kiss out there working overtime, cuz it works even when all the lovers do is touch their eating holes to each others. To the singles out there, next time you need true love’s kiss, just use a pillow, would probably work just as fine.
- Heng: “Thank you for waiting for me Mo.” ME: “Dafug is you talking about? That dude did not wait for you, he immediately left your amnesia arse to marry your creepy boss and went home to cry to his mama.”
- During that whole dancing, singing rapping scene, I was like, ‘It’s gonna be real unfortunate if Mo get’s proposed to in that purple and ugly brown vest.’
- All that for Heng to leave for Japan...good on him, Get away from Heng and his drama for a bit.

Listen, when all is said and done, this show was at least watchable so there's that. There were some good laughs and a whole lot of nothing filler episodes, but it had its moment. Personally, this wasn't EarthMix's best work, but we did get to see a different side of Earth which I enjoyed.

Overall, I know not all the shows would be my fav, and I kept watching this cuz I like EarthMix, so this one is on me, but damn this tested my patient. I'm super looking forward to seeing them in Only Friends: Dream On. Please be good. Anywho, if you love them too, watch this one too, it’s worth at least a one time viewing.

This Show is as Real as my Aunt’s Church Wig

Yes, yes, we all wanted to throw rocks at Shun and slap him with a rubber chicken, but, what in the love potion did Kazuto put in those meals? Cuz my man was out there collecting boys like Pokémons.

Let’s be honest. This ‘reality’ show is as real as my uncle Bob’s Christmas toupée, but I still enjoyed it, cuz I love me some drama!! And frankly, I’m nosy. I heard someone say Shun’s a RED FLAG, and went ‘Ming’s got an IRL brother? Where?’ Then my nosy arse immediately took a seat.

And I remained seated, cuz watching Ryota strike-out over and over again (knowing his parents might be watching, yikes, I’d have moved to the sun) made me grab some popcorn and wine. Ryota’s pain, Shun’s annoying arse, Dai’s frustrations and Kazuto being belle of the ball made for such great entertainment. Oh and that chicken and that one go-go guy.

But let’s forget about that guy and his chicken for a second. Cuz— How about that first KISS between Dai and Shun?? Oh boy, that was, yeah. Stuff. Oof. *stupid in love noises* so powerful it had an afterglow??

And that last ‘DAI, I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU’ Aaaaahhhhh, I screamed, clapped and cried. And when Dai said it back??? Good stuff :(((. In love people are sooo annoying *cries in jealous* Nah, those two, I swear to Gawd!!

And back to that kiss. It put most bl kisses to shame. Because some bl characters kisses like they are afraid of lips. Like that ‘We Are’ PhumPeem kiss when they were sitting on that canoe/boat. Peem looked like he was in pain and his teeth were about to catch fire. Honestly, Phum would have had a better time making out with that canoe. And don’t even get me started on Q and Toey’s kisses. They were so awkward and stiff, I wanted to throw stale bread at their heads.

Anyway, that kiss was hot, but then again it couldn’t have been anything else, cuz the build up was heart pounding. The moment Shun awkwardly jumped into Dai’s bed, I knew, he knew what he was doing. Like come on bro, game recognises game, I know yous wanna chop. hihi.

Of course a day after the kiss, Shun out there again being a broken record talking about ‘I can’t enjoy myself when we are together, I need space.’ Then move to the sun! And to think he did that because Dai won’t wear his t-shirt. OMG HE IS EXHAUSTING!! This drama queen!

DAI & SHUN
Yes, the only reason I watched this show is because I heard people saying Shun is a red flag. And I will agree to disagree, because the first time Shun introduced himself, I was like: ‘aww he wants to find love and start a family’ but then the look on his face and the way he was speaking had me going ‘LMAO why you talking about love sounding like you’re making a grocery list?’ Homeboy was like:

1. (1)boyfriend/future husband. (Preferable one allergic to happiness. Should not get excited about aquariums)
2. Three kids? (I want a big family so we can celebrate the holidays)
3. Two cups of ways to drive whoever I end up with insane with my indecisiveness and moods
4. 3? 2 bottles of mood swings (top shelve products only)
5. Sugar?

No really, tell me why Shun comes off as that one kid who goes outside for the first time in days and comes back home like: ‘Dear Dairy, I want outside again today. The humans are still there. I did not like it.’

But then, but then, he gets happy and he’s all bright smiles, and shy energy, making your heart melt, and you wanna gently roll him up in a blanket sandwich and gives him cheek kisses, then shove him off a cliff—cuz the next scene he’s back to being cranky and annoying.

Let’s be honest, Shun is an attention seeker who has the personality of a god-darn flip flop, and he soaks up negative energy around him like spongebob, but… I vibe with that air breather and would happily make excuses for him, because I get it, people are exhausting. And with his family and love life background, I understand why he was playing ping-pong with Dai’s feeling.

Shun at 23 has gone through more than most of us, so he’s allowed to protect his heart. Some traumas makes villains of us, but just because we put ourselves first, doesn’t make us bad people. So yes, I’d be the first in line to shove Shun off a small cliff cuz his annoying arse got to me, but I’ll gladly use the second person in line’s body to break his fall.

Also, why was everyone saying Shun is a red flag? Peoples, did you notice the rollercoaster Kazuto put Alan through??? No really, he kept confusing the poor boy until literally the last episode. If I was Alan, i’d have make like that one chicken guy and send myself packing.

That being said. Shun is a Drama Queen. Boy showed up for a dating show and after meeting the contestant went ‘yeah, cancel the whole thing, I don’t like any of these people, send them back.’ LOL, I was surprised he stayed.

I threw popcorn at my screen and booed whenever he said ‘I’m not sure’ about his feelings for Dai. ‘Child!! Will you keep quiet??’ Shun got into my core. Dafug you mean you have no wish after winning? Why are you still in this show?? Boy if you don’t make like that one chicken guy and go study abroad!!

All the pain Shun suffered in this show was cost by himself, and for that, I still lowkey want to shake him for being so indecisive. Cuz, out of nowhere he decided he and Dai should remain friends after their first date because, *Check notes*

1. Dai’s too happy and it exhausted him. Child!?! No, really, he was like: ‘that’s enough happiness for this month, don’t stand too close to me.’ What?!? now how you gon’ be a hater of fun in this economy?? But, Shun, honey, if you hate fun how you gon’ entertain your children?? Cuz right now, I’m just imagining him giving his kids time-out because they sang ‘itsy bisty spider’ with too much enthusiasm.

2. Setting himself up for jealousy. After he turned their will-they-wont-they situationship into an awkward Im-staring-at-you-from-a-distance situation, he had the audacity to get jealous. I’m all for pinning, and I was cheering on Shun, but I was clapping and going ‘yes, ignore his sorry arse’ when Dai and Ikuo were doing a romantic disney montage by the sea. You know, right in front of Shun's salad.

3. Breaking his own heart by not lifting his hands. Then of course, he immediately regretted it and he had the audacity to look like a kicked puppy, making me all soft and lowkey hating on Dai for making him sad.

I’m glad he got his shit together cuz I had, had it up to here with him and was ready to throw a chair.

It’s not a secret, we were all watching this show for these two. But damn, Shun made it so hard for me to ship them. At some point, I wanted Dai to say eff you and become one of Kazuto’s boys. But in the finale, when he finally made up his mind and confessed first, I was like: ‘that's my boy. Boooo in-love people are annoying *happy tears*

Dai is a sweetheart. I like how he knows what he wants and goes for it. Those episodes when he purposely made Shun jealous with Ikuo was chef-kiss. He has the patient of a saint, cuz if Shun was frustrating me like that, my dramatic arse would have been like: ‘You ain’t the only air breather here. Pfft. Bye Felicia.’

But he held on, and it paid off, because they ended up together. Yes, Shun and Dai found a middle to be together, but at what cost? I feel like they both compromised parts of them that’s going to be hard for them to let go of. Would they survive in the end? Who knows, but I wish them all the luck, and lots of kisses.

RYOTA RYOTA RYOTA
hahahahah HAHHAHA. Im sorry, I know he must be heart broken wherever his single arse is, but damn! Homeboy was so sad to look at. He got rejected and kept coming back. Child, do you have a humiliation kink??

If he was a character on Ao3 his tags would be like #unrequitedlove #nevergiveup #sandwiches #tears

Listen, I don’t enjoy peoples sadness or anything, but like, if I was Ryota, I’d have left the second Kazuto rejected me. Homeboy was two-for-two then went back and got rejected again in the last episode. Ryota just couldn’t catch a break. Shun didn’t even consider his feelings and immediately friend-zone him, then proceeded to dump his relationship problem on him for advice. OUCH.

And Kazuto looked like he wished, he hadn’t confessed to him. Cuz we all know all that polite smiling meant: ‘haha, thank you for liking me, but no. Bro.’

Also, that sandwich in the finale made me shake my head. WHY Ryota, just why?? Kazuto keeps choosing Alan, and your solution is to make him lunch?? Come on son, have some shame and some self-respect? And to make it worse, Kazuto just enjoyed it with Alan. Naahhh that’s a foul!!!

Ryota chased after two people who did not want him, and drove the one who wanted him out of the Green Room. Really, I laughed at him yes, but I felt bad for him in the end, cuz that last attempt at Kazuto, though brave, was just sad. I hope in the future he learns to notice the people who wants him, instead of going after those who don’t and getting his heart broken repeatedly.

KAZUTO KAZUTO KAZUTO & ALAN
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but this was just ridiculous. Everyone wanted Kazuto, so much so that someone even left to go work aboard when they couldn’t have him. PAUSE. What in a kdrama moment was that? I know it was emotional and was supposed to be sad, but not gonna lie, I laughed so hard.

Kazuto was confused most of the show, not knowing his feelings. He kept changing his mind. Shun must have borrowed him those flip-flops cuz boy put Alan through the ringer. One moment he wanted to be friends, then he’s not sure about his feelings, then he wants to hold hands. CHILD!!!

And Alan. Gawddd if I had to hear Alan remind us again he’s Brazilian, I’d riot. We get it, your grandparents were adventurous, enough! It was like 51% of his personality, and thank god he brought something else to the table, cuz… Even his title was like ‘Brazilian it worker’ okay?

And yes, I liked him and Kazuto. I felt like he came on a bit too strong, but he did eventually learned to slow his pace, so that worked out. And I hope after spending more time together Kazuto gets his sh!t together and make them official.

EVERYONE ELSE:

Did anyone else forget that one contestant that gave Shun advice while drinking wine, Taeyon? Was he a filler contestant, cuz I forgot he was even in the show before that scene. Good luck to him I guess.

Gensei being delulu thinking Ryota wanted him was so funny. At first he was like, nah, then when he realised he didn’t want him, he was interested. And what was his deal always wanting to put make-up on Ryota? I felt sorry for him, cuz he could see that he was just a replacement, so I’m glad he left.

Ikuo. Poor dude, he showed up all happy and left with his spirit crushed. And Dai did him so dirty cuz they were like:
- IKUO: Dai, I know I used to like Kazuto, but that’s over, and I want to confess my feelings to you. I like you.
- DIA: Whomst? me? No. Shun Shun Shun. But, I almost had a crush on you, because you’re good at house chores.

LMAO, what a way to reject someone. That was nasty.

Also, damn, why were they always like ’Thank you’ every time they rejected someone? The politeness made it even worse. Poor Ryota though, boy got a ‘thank you’ and as if that’s not enough, a handshake. That was somehow extra worse.

Anyway, I don’t like reality shows. I’ve watch only one in my life, and it was about cake being real or fake. So, I didn’t want to watch this, but am glad I did, cuz it was entertaining. I wish all these people luck finding love. And to Dai, dude, good luck with Shun’s dramatic arse, you gonna need it!

U-turns Law Says... We Are All Psychos

These people had more lives than a goddamn cat. I kept screaming 'Is You Dead? Why is you not dead?' like every episode, and they just kept not dying. No really, by episode 2 half of the cast should have been in a coma, in wheel chairs, missing ribs and tooth or flat-out dead, cuz how?? These people even showed up to a brawl with umbrellas and after an epic beat down just stood up and walked off... they just walked away and took the bus home. HOW????

Listen, I missed our little dead eyes psycho Yeon Si Eun. I missed how he always look like that one dude who goes outside after a month and come back and go 'dear dairy, I went out today and the humans are still there. I did not care for it.' Still, we love him and his high and mighty attitude, but why homeboy was out there this season walking around like a middle-aged man who drives an old Kia and sell lunch boxes at the fish market? No, but y'all saw his walking right? LOL.

Anywho. This season although it had its moments was missing the emotional heart of the first season. Except for some flimsy one dimension character info we knew basically nothing about the new cast we were supposed to care about. Take Baku, all I knew was his dad sells chicken and he once taught his friend to fight. And glasses he was... well, at least I remember him from XO, Kitty, so that's something. So yeah, we didn't get much background about the new cast, but what we did know was they could take a beaten and still show up to school the next day cuz they had math class, you know, variables and whatnot. So yeah, entertaining, overdone violence like always, but I did not connect with the new characters on any emotional level, still I liked them, cuz their friendship was developed to a point that I came to care about it, and it had its own charm.

The four main cast had good chemistry, and I bought their friendship. I liked how they were there for each other even when their lives were at risk. Even that weak loser held his own when it mattered. Personally by episode 5 they should all have been dead but well, they're fine so... we move. As for our underdog hero as always he was the see something pretend you don't care but do something anyway hero, kind heart and whatnot. He still liked pens and hugging legs. You'd think the bad guys would have learned by now but here we are.

And then there was that villain, Na Baek Jin. The moment that pencil case showed up I was like, yep, dude's dead inside. While Si Eun looks at people like they don't matter, this dude eyes were literally the gate way to hell. If he was my neighbour i'd have moved to a different city, heck, I might just leave the country for him. You ain't gonna suck the soul out of me, not today satan.

As villains goes he was your basic 'omg I'm the bad guy I'll use your love ones to torment you hahaha' bad guy. There was nothing special or unique about him. Literally the only thing interesting about him was that he got some math question wrong one time and dude made it his whole personality for a good minute. We get it, you understand variables, equations and stuff, let us have peace. So yeah, he was your basic villain who didn't even seem like he was smart enough for the hunger game, so nothing revolutional there, but he was interesting enough to keep the plot going and add to it, by showing up and doing villain stuff, so yeah.

Then of course, suddenly we are in a church and the writers showed like two seconds of his back story and motives, (but I'm distracted cuz he forgot to buy hair gel and dude is now out there with his hair looking like my auntie's church wig), and expect viewers to feel bad for him in the finale cuz he up and died off screen one time. Like? Nah fam, I did not connect with that pencil case enough to care. And I counted, dude had like at least 3 more lives left. Also, why were the four leads crying like someone stole their lunch when they were literally beating him yesterday?

HAHAHAHA, I'm sorry, but did this people show up to a brawl with umbrellas? What the hell were they afraid of? catching a cold? And where the hell were the teachers? These people were never there for anything at all. Baku walked into a school with a megaphone and screamed for a fight and nothing? And also where did the teachers think the students were in the finale. I'm pretty sure it was a Tuesday, so did they just assumed half the students stayed home? And how the hell no one, the teachers, not even the cops found it weird with all those missing phones? HOW?

All in all, yes, I missed the old cast, kept holding my breath waiting for our boy to wake up from his coma ,and when he did I clapped in happiness. When that loser friend from season1 showed up in black and white, I was like, 'where is you?' I wonder what became of him. But I was happy that Si Eun didn't just moved on, and his trauma forgotten. The moment he started to get involved and help Jun Tae I was like... Nooooo don't you remember the mouth breather from season1, you gonna get yourself in trouble again. But thinking about it, is Si Eun the chaos magnet who brings danger to everyone around him or is he just prone to bad luck and always get close to people who brings him danger? Which is which? Personally, I think Su Ho should have stayed in that coma, cuz with those new friends Si Eun just made them, he's probably gonna end up back in the hospital again in season3.

Anyway a good show to binge-watch. Those like me who waited for the second season would not be disappointed, cuz it's enjoyable. I recommend it to first season watchers and anyone looking for some underdog drama. I'm looking forward to season 3, hopefully it comes sooner than later.

DID Y'ALL SEE THAT BEARD?!? SKSDKJNWPFSHWK

This drama started with that guy with the discount p'Payu hairstyle traumatizing some poor fishes with his hand down his pants. Then homeboy proceeded to drew on a fake arse beard and become the most annoying 'I don't like him although he's my whole world' character ever. Also, Jun a better person than me though, cuz I'd have immediately, and I mean, immediately, gone out and used all the skills Sorn taught me. Immediately.

Listen, no matter how you slice this, Sorn was a red flag, annoying, and low...highkey a sex addict, aka drunk on Jun. But like he can also wore a black t-shirt with his hair down, y'all saw that in episode 5 right? Such beautiful hair, wish he'd have let that hairstyle that made him look like discount p'Payu go. Oh and did y'all see that cake in those working trousers, or his height and shoulders, or that time he with the back strokes and the... Wait, what was I talking about? Right, Sorn sucks.

Look, I was among the people who super fucking cheered when Jun finally said bye player. I was also rolling on my floor in disbelief and laughter when Sorn showed up for 1.2 seconds with that god awful beard that made him look like a homeless penguin who sell knockoff suitcases by the sea side. Like who's creative work was that? #tears

So yeah, Sorn sucked, he dragged that who 'I'm emotionally unavailable' thing out for so long, then the lame excuse of Jun being a child. Bob, you've been bending him over everything you can and suddenly his age is the problem? Sure he had a reason, but shouldn't he have had it before he started 'teaching' a young person like that? All that, and they ended the drama by him saying 'I know he was young and I was wrong for what I did, I'm sorry.' Okay Janet. So yeah, throughout the drama he kept hiding his feelings, emotionally hurting Jun, until he decided to change cuz he was the one hurting and he didn't like that.

With that being said, I once said p'Cir from Boy Next World should teach kissing classes. Sorn, should do the same but add railing to it, lots of these characters could learn a thing or two. FAM!! Mflow was not playing around with those scenes, also that guy kisses like he is starved and wanna devour, consume and totally owe your soul. Down boy, damn! lowkey, did anyone else showed up to those lessons with a notebook and a pen? No, just me? arite. ^^'

As for Jun, he was dumb for letting himself be hurt like that. Like dude willingly gave himself him. We can argue he was young, and he did see his self worth and leave in the end, which was good, but dude was dumb for like 95% of the drama so. I'm glad we had that episode where he read Sorn the fuck up. I was clapping and adding more stuff to the list for him to yell. Still, even with the dumb choices, I liked Jun's character and I'm glad he sort of grew up, and in the end both him and Sorn worked it out. Though, why towards the end did he always look so scared and afraid when Sorn so much as got closer to his face? Dude looked scared to be kissed, hmm, honey, you want me to call someone?

The second lead and their slow motion sexy times... like why? But it was a nice break from Sorn and Jun's choking scenes. And they did have nice wine glasses, wonder where I can buy them. Though, every time they had some problems, like when Champ got angry cuz Tar didn't tell him about Sorn being with Jun. I was like: my friend my friend get angry on your own time, this aint about you. Lol. Not gonna lie, I wasn't invested in their relationship, but I did say, 'yaay for you for the gold ring, finally, all those silver ones were starting to get old' so good for them.

The gl couple could have been replaced by a houseplant and it wouldn't have made a damn difference to the plot. Also, they straight up forgot them in the finale, I literally just remembered them when I was talking about the ring, cuz I remembered that girl's earring and how pretty it was. oh well.

The other secondary characters didn't add anything to the story either, don't even know what the purpose of that guy with the screaming girlfriend was. Literally why? and the other interns, all they did was order coffee from those two children, and what was the purposes of the kids being in this?

Overall, the plot isn't much, the acting was fine, and some of the characters weren't necessary, but it passed the time, and I enjoyed it towards the end. BoatOat was the saving grace of this drama. Oat acted so well in some parts it made up for the lack of it. Also, I am all for thai nicknames, but Boat and Oat is...One thing for sure though, Boat earned that name, y'all saw that shoulder? dream Boat indeed.

Overall, you gonna like this a lot if you want a spicy bl, if you want plot and story, my friend look elsewhere. As bls goes, I'll recommend it if you have the time, the leads had great chemistry and carried the show. I'm looking forward to more of them in the future.

My Mother's Husband Is My Secret Lover

Nonsense dey for some peoples' backyard!! Dafug you mean, you caught your son having an affair with your husband, and you leave your own house, so your son can continue being with your husband, because he loves that scumbag? If this abomination happened in my backyard, the police would have collected that husband... that mother should have been knighted a saint cuz... fam!!!

Listen, this show was something. Me, I love drama. I saw a clip of step-father and son holding hands at the wedding, and went... yes, that one right there... I need it like air. So yeah, I was seated, and watched it with both eyes opened... but damn, that finale had my blood boiling... I don't even know who to yell at the most.

THE SON:
This boy... was he stupid or naive? Sure, he might have been manipulated by an older guy who acted like he collected coupon's in secret, but damn son, that's your mother!!! Guy's mother was so loving to him, but he still decided to hurt her in the worse way possible. How are you going to look her in the eyes while you're doing the devil's tango with her husband, literally two doors down? What pains me, is how after they get it own, they eat the food she cooked.

I get that Guy was heart broken, desperate for love and Gott somehow took advantage of him, but boy should have stopped when that walking popsicle stand married his mother. And then in the end, he felt bad that Gott was cheating on him as well... Susan, did you think that talking piece of garbage loved you? He was literally cheating on his wife with you! YOUR MOTHER!! And Guy was crying, and I was rolling my eyes at him, cuz foolish boy you brought this upon yourself.

THE HUSBAND:
The Audacity of Gott in this drama needs to be studied. This guy had zero shame. After getting catch having a sexual relationship with his wife's son, man straight up said... 'Let's talk this out. Maybe the 3 of us can work something out, and we could get this going as a threesome, cuz we are a family and I love you.' BROTHER??? LIKE....I was gagged. THE EFFING AUDACITY!! And... and... after the wife left, he decided to stay in her house, with her son and continue their affair. I---at what point do people like that notice they are a piece of trash? Shame must hate this guy, cuz he couldn't locate his arse.

And he was such a sweet talker, this dude could sale your own shoes back to you doubled the prize. He managed to keep his secretary interested in him so she'd work harder, held an affair with some random guy/guys, married a wife, and then kept having another affair with his step-son. And every time he got caught, he bullshit talked his way through it. What a weasel.

THE MOTHER:
Many blessings to mothers like Rin, cuz, she was... a mother. Blood is thicker than water. She was able to forgive her son, even had her friend warn him about her scumbag husband. It hasn't happened to me, so I don't know how I'd react, but to see my beloved son having an affair with my husband? That shit would destroy me, and I don't know if I'd have the capability to forgive them. What I don't get though, is how she left her house for them? Girl, kick that loser out!! I can't believe she didn't even notice the affair. Like this dude spent so much time in your son's bedroom, and she just let it happened... but then again, what mother would suspect such a thing about a son and a husband she loved? I wished she'd protected her son more when she found out, instead of leaving him with Gott.

FINALE
Since it was only 4 episodes, the finale of cuz left some things unanswered. I wanted to know what became of the cabbage, and if his company with under. Imma imagined it did. I wanted to know if Guy, after two heartbreaks found someone new, and if the mother was able to ever loved again or even bring a guy around her house. I hope not, I wouldn't. Guy can't be trusted.

All-in-all, a dramatic watch. Interesting concept and with the few episodes we got, it was done well, though too short. I enjoyed the drama and the actors portrayed their characters well. I'll recommend it to anyone who likes drama and crazy plots like this one. Having an affair with your mother's husband is... yeah, watch for yourself.

My Boring Blood

Vampire show so boring and bland the only power the vampire had was taking off his cloths and showing us his underwear. Seriously, what the hell was this? And did they even do anything vampire-esque on this show? Even with the fighting, those vampires were at best doing cardio and yoga poses. Let me explain:

This show was so boring it came to a point where I put it on whenever I couldn't sleep, and it was the best sleeping pill ever. Literally, the main couple were so bland, unless you had a telescope it was impossible to find their chemistry. The two missionary nc scenes they had was meh. Like, making a tub nc with roses look so dull must be a new achievement. Mark the vampire kept taking his cloths off at random and tried to heal someone who had a metal rod stuck in their chest. Boy why? just dumb. Tong the 'Golden Blood' made just the stupidest and most annoying decisions, and he kept doing whatever the hell he was doing with his mouth and eyebrows. No, but real talk, was that whole face thing supposed to make Tong look demure and soft? What the hell was that? That happy ending was truly undeserving. Also, how much does a shaver cost?

And the bad guys. LMAO, talk about generic. The first bad guy get's find out and dude went to sit by some river on his garden chair and just waited for his enemies to find him. And when they did, he became one of the good guys who immediately died a worthless dead, talking about going to be with his love one when this whole drama he hadn't mentioned them once. Like why is you lying about having someone? Also, the big final bad guy was so meh, literally her powers didn't even work, cuz homegirl saw none of that coming for her. Why was anyone afraid of her when her predictions were as useful as the weather forecast?

HAHAHAHHAHAAHAAAAHAHA. I was laughing throughout that finale. That final showdown was ridiculous, all that big deal about drinking the special golden blood, and all Mark did after drinking it is walk in there, pushed two guards aside and got stabbed by Thara. Literally if it wasn't for that one bad guy who died that useless death, Mark would have died too. And after all that a kiss woke up Tong, and this dude was like, 'oh woe is me, I am dying, if only, if only I was immortal like you, hhhmmm.' Of which Mark replied. 'Oh wait, I can grant you that, but are you sure?' And my arse just rolling my eyes like, 'my friend my friend my friend, stop with the theatrics, either die or just become a vampire and let us have some peace. Damn Susan.'

No but this whole show was a giant disappointment. I was expecting some vampire effects and magic, but all we got was some yoga fighting poses, that window scene that had me laughing off my sofa, sniffing stuff and licking blood, some little speed here and there when they remember this is supposed to be a vampire show, Mark biting Tong's lips one time, that black and white effect with flowers, and... well that was about it.

Seriously, it's not by force to do a vampire show if you don't have the budget or a decent plot for that matter. I was so hyped for this, but it ended up just so meh. The plot could have been interesting but it was all over the place, and the acting was nothing to write home about, either, what a waste. Like I am still laughing at that scene when Tongkla died. Dude took 1-2 business days dying, and the all powerful healer vampire tried to heal him with that metal still stuck in his chest. Like, child why? Also, this production managed to make Neo dull. Neo! How? Dude have so much aura he is loud just by appearing on screen and blinking, and they managed to make him bland and dull. Yikes.

I do hope Joss and Gawin get cast for something better in the future, and get to work with a director who can utilize their talent, and they actually take time to develop it and not give us another half-arsed drama like this one. I love their dynamic so I'd like to see more of them, but this was seriously not it.

All-in-all, it wasn't the best but we've had worse, so if you are a fan of these two give it a chance you might enjoy it more than I did.
