You Should Have Watched This Yesterday

There's been a lot of garbage dramas this year, but once in a while you stumble across a little gem, and it brightens your whole day. This drama was beautiful, I loved every single moment of it and wished it was longer. Yes, even moments with that in-betweener brother, who meant well, but acted like he sniffed glue on his spare time. On second thought, if I catch him!

Listen, I wasn't even looking for this drama. I was scrolling my somewhere on tiktok when a video popped up and this sister was like, 'watch this, it's good.' Obviously, since most of what's currently airing is meh, I checked out the first episode and ended up benching the whole thing in one go. Sure, a story, a plot like this of love and pining and acceptance in our society isn't anything new, but the direction and execution of it made it worthwhile. Here's my quick review:

The main characters had great chemistry and made the show. I felt their longing behind the screen, all the words they couldn't say, and the stable touches and wants were so obvious it was painful. Kudos to them for making this short drama feel so complete. The side characters were also okay, though that brother needed to take a hike. I get that he was concerned and loved his brother, and in his own misguided way was looking out for him, but bro invented a whole arse girlfriend cuz he saw his friend with a girlfriend one time in freshmen year, really Susan, really?

I loved the few songs we got in this as well, the background music and the nature all added to how much I enjoyed this drama. Personally, I'm not a bug person and would probably complain to high heavens if I should spend a whole summer here, but everything was so beautiful, it made me fall in love with their love and wanted to go summer camping with a lover, bugs be damned.

No really, they were out there: fruit picking, sunset watching, running around the woods and by the rivers, swimming, drawing, bonfires, playing in the rain, awwwwww, my heart was full and it wasn't even my relationship. Yes, I'm sure we all felt that kiss when they finally got together, the yearning and the pining really paid off, so congratulations to them I guess. Us single people would be in the corner.

I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone who loves bl, it's worth your time, and it's short and amazing, give it a chance. No really, watch it. Wish to see more of the two leads in the future. This is obviously going straight to one of my favourite dramas this year. Now off to watch the special episodes to see them be more lovey dovey in front of my salad.

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. ^^

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.

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.

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.

How To Get Away With Murder...?

The police finally got the bad guy, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST? Also, I hate flowers. If it wasn't for those damn effing flowers, I wouldn't be sobbing into my Christmas wine. That being said, my bags are pack, imma meet y'all in hell, cuz I know I'm not the only one who wanted him to get away with murder, then get the guy as well. I even made a list in my head on what he could do/say to get away with it. And, that 'I Love You' at the end was just cruel. Merry Effing Christmas I guess.

Listen, the moment we found out the doctor was guilty I knew we weren't going to have a happy ending, but I still held on hope. I would call myself stupid for having hope, but not while Police man Thiu was literally suspicious of Dr. Kan but still moved into his house, and ended up falling in love with him. Poor dude played himself so bad. But at what cost? Giving us five seconds of happiness only to take it away with that heart-wrenching confessing scene! Tor and JJ, the two main leads, did so well, I felt every emotion and cried when they did. I kept screaming, 'Child, will you keep quiet?' the more the doctor talked. Like, stop confessing dammit!! Then of course, I foolishly waited for Thiu to stop the car and take off those cuff, even though I knew... WHHYYYYY?

We need a second season where that one female doctor, his accomplice, breaks him out of jail and Thiu decides the law sucks and they move away to start a garden business somewhere in a remote village in the coast or something. Cuz this ending hurts so much.

I had a lot of questions throughout this drama. Was Dr Kan wrong for what he did even though the patients asked him? Was the law wrong for not legalising it like the doctor said? Yes, we can argue that taking someone's life no matter how you dress it up, is wrong, but with the amount of pain those people were in, and knowing they won't survive anyway, was it still wrong? In the end, the doctor did cross over that line that kept him in the morally grey area, cuz of what he did to that one pharmacist boy toy. This drama was very thought provoking when it came to the topic of Euthanasia, and the beliefs of the characters. I kept wondering between the law, Dr Kan, and the dying patients who was right? On the side of the law, they only saw right and wrong, Dr Kan saw it as showing mercy as a doctor and putting an end to a suffering/disease nothing could cure, and the patients saw it as a way to end their endless pain, and for some, unburden their families. No matter how I thought about it, I'm still not sure what side was right and which, was wrong. This drama tiptoed the line between wrong and right so well, at one point, the line became a circle.

Anyway, this drama was short, but amazing! And although I wanted the doctor to get away with it, cuz those people asked him too, in the end, for what he did to that boy toy doctor, I ran out of excuses as to why he should be set free. Still, I'm sure if given a few more days, I can find some reasons to justify his actions... cuz, he gave himself up, so in the end, was he truly that bad?

What's funny about me wanting him to be innocent is, I spent the first two episodes convinced the doctor is guilty and should be arrested and sent to Azkaban or something. Then halfway through episode 3 I started finding excuses as to why he's super-innocent and should be given the 'most merciful, goodest person award.' I need help, dramas are screwing up my morals. No, really, this was my reaction for the first three episodes.

First episode:
ME: OMG, that hawt doctor is suspicious, he did it!
Second episode:
ME: Yep, the doctor did it, he did it, he did it, arrest him! Throw him into a dark jail.
Third episode:
Doc Kan: Yes, I did it. I super did it. I am very guilty. I done did it.
ME: Whhhhhaaaaatttt? I'm shocked. But I thought...wow, you really did it?
*Doctor Kan shows up in that brown outfit on this birthday, him and Thiu being all lovey dovey*
ME: I mean... everyone gotta die someday, imirite? I say the doc is innocent, he's a saint.

Anyway, long story short, great drama and amazing actors. Their portrayed brought the story alive, and I'll recommend it to anyone who enjoy a good drama. I am looking forward to more from the cast, especially Tor and JJ, they did such an awesome job in their roles. One of the best dramas that came out this year. Go watch it if you haven't already.

Merry Christmas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

C-Eent Just Played With Our Emotions.

Oh sad endings, how I wish I can throw rocks at you. In Hindsight I should have prepared my tissues for this ending when it said Chinese bl instead of Taiwanese. For shame, did we really think it would have passed censorship if it wasn't made to crush our happy-ending expecting hearts into tiny pieces?

Listen, this drama broke my heart three times. The first was when they wheeled Shi Wen's body out the ICU and Shen Nan broke down in the hallway while trying to left the sheet off Shi Wen's body to confirm his death. The second was when Shi Wen did the okay sign while he laid dying in Shen Nan's arms. And the third was when Shen Nan's world stopped for a second in the finale when he heard those tires screeched, when he breathed in relief that the accident didn't happen, and yet he choose not to turn back and walked away. #Pain. #Tears. For some reason I wept in episode 5, got triggered with old memories and when Shen Nan left Shi Wen on that bridge, I found myself feeling so sad I couldn't help but cry. Ruined my whole Saturday. Of course, to make myself feel better I went and re-watched episode 4 of Every You, Every Me, you know, so I can keep the sadness going the rest of the day... when in hell, keep going, amirite?

Anyway, yes, this drama wasn't perfect, as a matter of fact it had so many holes we could probably make a basket out of it. But I enjoyed it, sad ending and all. Plus it seemed it's more a hopeful ending than a sad one. The quantum necklace which seemed to be turning back the time and causing all those anomalies deactivated/blackened out in the finale when Shi Wen's fate changed and he wasn't hit by that big track. So I'm thinking it means their ill-fate life has ended? Which of course meant, my stupid arse was screaming, alright 'turn back now, rush to him, you can be together now', but nope... no happy ending here cuz this is still a Chinese bl.

I do have so many questions when it comes to the science behind this, cuz a lot of things were left unexplained or made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Like:
1) Was the first time we meet them their first life together, or was that the second timeline?
2) Where did that quantum necklace come from?
3) Did the 'fate/quantum' people appeared to Shen Nan using his face or was that a Shen Nan from the far future?
4) When Shen Nan's father locked him in that motel and took away his phone, did he even leave him food? I'm still wondering about that cuz I didn't see any ramen or snacks around.
5) I was so SHOCKED when we got that my lips touching/glazing your cheeks scene, and then the hand between our mouths kiss. SHOCKED. I thought we were going to get far away glances like... The Untamed (that one still hurts)... but we got something. It was practically nothing, heck it was so nothing it was non-existent, but, it was something.
6) How in the hell did he still have that camera from their first/second timeline? At first I thought it was himself from timeline 2 putting everything in a box, but then he later appeared and throw it away as himself in timeline 3? I'm confusion. Did the camera also time travelled with them or we just suppose to go along with the flow?
7) That scene during the award ceremony after Shi Wen got hit in the head with the lights and died was ridiculous! Not one person made a call to ambulance or rushed to help/check on him. Everyone just ran away, even the friends and the organisers? Huh? I get they wanted them to be alone, but that was so far from reality I stopped being sad for a moment to go, 'huh, dafug is everyone at?' Cuz, huh??? Stupid. Just dumb.
#7) "Is it really worth it to protect someone with all your strength?" to which Shen Nan replied. "Yes." I was screaming 'dude don't turn back, that's the whole point of this you stupid-head' when he turned back to get that cup of coffee in the finale, but in that last scene of this drama, I was screaming, "please, please, turn back just one more time." But dude must not have been away of the title of this drama, cuz his arse choose a sad ending instead.

The cast did good with this, given how little time they had. The main were good and had good chemistry. Shi Wen's friends as supporting cast were also good, and that friend who liked Shi Wen for like half an episode made me laugh a bit, so good. Those parents though, glad they came around in the end and then disappeared from sight, cuz I was about to reach into the screen and start slapping people with my rubber chicken.

As for the plot. I loved the concept. Time travel with a side of a love so doom nothing can save it. Unfortunately, although it had a good cast, the script wasn't strong and the execution was a mess. It had lots of things that were never explained properly, and most of it was left to the viewer to fill in the blank, which, my brain did not do, so I ended up with more questions than answers. Sure they had only 6 episodes so they couldn't get into the whole quantum necklace thing, but I'd have loved some explanation, any, of how Shen Nan came to have this necklace and could turn back time.

All-in-all a good watch. Not the greatest, but it was good. Also, I'm taking this as a win towards us maybe-perhaps-finally having an actual bl from c-ent. If you're looking to feel sad and or out of new dramas and looking for something to watch, I'd recommend this to you. I hope to see the main in another drama, loved them here and in Meet You at The Blossom.

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 that prince that both Shu He and Huo Ying loved him and acted foolish?

The brother's 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 ended 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 dead 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, 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 beautiful 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, that 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.

Hey, You, Stop, I'm Not The Problem Here.

I must be doing this whole Poor thing wrong, cuz why Min out here complaining about being dirt poor, but homeboy have two mansions, expensive looking fashion clothes, and went to kidnap someone and got himself a super rich boyfriend? If that was being poor, then may this level of poorness locate me, please. Also, the moment Min zoomed into the picture of Q, I went... 'Peoples, we've lost a brother, his arse ain't gonna kidnap nobody, he looking for a husband.' Min was the worse kidnapper ever. He sucked. Mfer was a glorified babysitter.

Listen, the premise of this show was interesting, a handsome boy who looks like a 90s heartthrob Hollywood star, goes to kidnap someone and ends up falling in love. You know, typical case of Stockholm syndrome, but like the bl edition. I was sold, cuz Ohm is a good actor, and him and Leng seemed to have a good chemistry. So tell me why, halfway through the series, my bored arse was ready for it to be over?

And don't even get me started on that cringy Mary Jane and Spider-man scene. Was it cute, probably, but I was cheesing the whole time. One thing about that scene though, it made me realised one of Min's mansion was like in the middle of water or something, or was it a pool. Damn, to be so richly poor must be be hard.

In all honesty, this series should have been 8 episodes long at most. Even so, it should have ended at episode 11, cuz it was slow paced and dragged on. Half of what happened could have been cut and we'd still would have had enough to make the same show.

CHARACTERS
First off, that one man in the credit opening scene, who apparently was the one who hired them to kidnap Q. That man was in the drama for like two episodes, at best he was like an extra, so why the eff was he in the opening? I was so confused.

Anyway, Yes, MinQ had good chemistry, and they gave the best they could with the script they were given. The acting was good, though gonna be honest, in some crying scenes with Q, I went, 'Dude is you crying, laughing or sniffing glue?' Lol, but other than that, good acting and chemistry. Mhen was a good character as well, really liked him and looking forward to his new series with Mark. As for the secondary characters, they didn't have enough to stand out. I'm still wondering how that one friend went from working on movie sets to knowing people looking for a hitman.

Also, I just watched Q's father in that drama where he was cheating on his wife with her son, so whenever he was on the screen being a policeman, my brain automatic went, 'shouldn't you put yourself in jail' lol, but yeah, as a father to Q he sucked in the beginning, but towards the end he did change, which was good, I guess. Though, seeing how the woman he kept putting in jail always came back like a boomerang, what was the point of him putting Q's life in danger for?

VILLIANS:
The bad guys in this show were like Houdini, they disappeared most of the show, then bam, they back doing some stuff. Like that woman was in and out of jail so many times, she might as well have made it her vacation home. And also what the hell was happening with episode 11 stand-off scene? This woman had a gun in her hand, instead she just pointed it real hard at Q's dad, doing nothing until Min showed up, not even from behind her, but in front, to kick it out of her hand?? WHAT EVEN? And after all that, Min got shot in the stomach, and that director want me to believe it was just a glaze that left no scars?? LITERALLY, what even are we doing here?

The end to that big bad villian was laughable: What even happened? They sent her to jail, then suddenly she is out with a vague reason, and then some random person shot her dead?? Listen, if the son of that one man was going to get revenge, we needed to see something. This woman is the big bad, so her demise should at least make some sort of sense, but it all felt so rushed and flat, it became irrelevant. They made space for Q's dad glancing at his uniform, but couldn't let us such an important part of the plot.

Finale:
Damn, they really threw everything but the kitchen sink into that finale huh? And the episode seemed to go on forever, I doze off like more than four times, and had to rewind. Still, nothing interesting really happened though, no follow up on that random dude who shot the big villain. This drama should have ended way before it did. As it is now, it just drags with not much interesting stuff going on.

Anyway, as their first series, Ohmleng did well, The script could have been waay better than it was, but personally, I think the premise of the plot was interesting, except the production team did not execute it to its full potential and ended up given us a somewhat boring, convoluted show that let many of us rather underwhelmed.

I'll still recommend this to everyone, it's good for a one time watch. I am looking forward to Ohm and Leng's next drama, hopefully, they get a script worthy of their capabilities.

Taishin Is A Blubber Mouth Bumpkin

Okay, so like, we are ignoring that Taishin is a stalker right? Good. Cuz, he’s like the worse stalker ever. Homeboy walked up to the guy he’s stalking and went ‘...eh... I came to this school because of you… do you wanna go hiking senpei?’ LOL, he’s a naive, adorable blubber mouth and I love him.

The plot of this show is nothing to write home about. Nothing really does happens, the episodes are short, and pretty much most people will find it super boring and meh. I did at first too, but this show grew on me. At first I was a bit annoyed and was like, come on son, no one your age is that naive. No really, Taishin’s so innocent it’s pitiful. But then he got me with his constant 'Eh and adorable-ness-ness.' Cuz how could I stay annoyed at a guy who’s best friend is a parrot, his idea for the perfect first date is Bird watching, and his favorite food is pudding. HAHAH WHAT?? PUDDING and BIRD WATCHING? Even his interests are bland. But he’s what he is and I accept him.

Taishin comes off as a village bumpkin who’s seeing traffic light for the first time. He came to the big city with a goal: getting closer to Takara, and he’s made it his whole personality. I respect that, but like, does he even pay attention in class? Lol, homeboy with his doe-eyes looks like he doesn’t know what’s happening half of the time, and he’s just here to fill space and breathe air. Though, even with how smitten he is with Takara, I'm happy he's bold and brave enough to speak his mind when he needs too. Which gives him more colour as a character.

I’m sure many people will found his naivety annoying, as well as how constantly he puts himself down, because he’s put Takara on a pedestal and borderline worshiping him. Normally, I would nitpick at it with a microscope, but I found I’m enjoying the un-heaviness of the whole show that I don’t mind it. And the two leads have good chemistry as well, which makes it even more entertaining to watch. They didn't need any over the top sexual stuff to make the watcher feel their chemistry, which was refreshing to see.

Plot wise there’s nothing much happening. Basically, the story is about Taishin who uprooted his whole life and moved to the city to go to the same school on a chance he could meet the guy he met on the mountain one time. Sure it isn’t as stalkish as that one bl character who collected the trash of his crush, but this is also a form of stalking. But Taishin did his with those doe-eyes and blurted it out so fast that it doesn’t really count. I doubt it would hold up in court :)

Oh and in-between Taishin trying to get closer to Takara, we see the man himself playing with some marbles and remembering his mother who doesn’t like marbles? and thinks he sucks, so he's dealing with that and trying to move on from her. So yeah, not much happening. But I did enjoy the journey of seeing Takara come to like Taishin to the point he felt possessive and jealous. I liked seeing him struggling to not turn out like his mother, and having Taishi reassured him that he'd tell him whenever he does something he doesn't like. They communicate in their relationship, instead of following the pattern of over-done misunderstanding trope, which again made me enjoy the show.

I like Takara. His personality is to look as nonchalant as a cucumber, still he’s there for Taishin, which is a green flag in my book. He’s not mean about Taishin’s cluelessness and is patient with him.

I'm not gonna write an in-depth of what I liked/ didn't like about this drama. After the first two episode, I decided to watch it for enjoyment purpose only, and just went along for the drive. So if you want some in-depth reviews, other reviewers on here have done that quite well, so check them out. This one is just me gushing over Taishin.

So yeah, if you’re looking for something deep, my brother go look elsewhere. This show is good for rewinding after all the heavy currently airing bls. It’s light, with a simple plot. And except for the two lead characters, all the supporting cast are like background props, but still, I’m enjoying myself watching it.

There's a spinoff apparently, so I'm looking forward to seeing these two again, cuz these episodes were not enough. I wanna see how their relationship developed after they both admitted their feelings for each other. Would there be more pudding and bird watching dates? I'm excited.

Anyway, I love leads that blurts out whatever they are thinking, whether embarrassing or not, therefore causing no misunderstand and our Taishin has no filter whatsoever, and I love that loser for it.

I’ll recommend this to anyone who is looking for an easy watch and something to unwind and not think too much. Give it a chance if you have time, it's cute. This is definitely going on my list of guilty pleasure dramas.
