This script really didn’t know what it wanted to be, leaving this series very imbalanced. The plot was lost for a long time and episodes 1-7 were very mundane with a lot of unimportant scenes and dialogue. By episode 8 some things gets thrown into the mix, but at that point it’s not making sense to add. The last episode felt like it had ended 4 different times. Scenes were also drawn out way too long with too many large time gaps between dialogue responses leaving the cadence of the episodes way too slow.
Mainly I liked the cast. The main leads were sexy, had great chemistry, and were very comfortable/natural in their NC/intimacy scenes. I wouldn’t mind seeing them again. The second leads were also cute though they did not have much of a story to work with. 6/10
I just finished and now I want to sound off my frustration! That was so anti-climatic. The disservice they gave that beautiful, well acted, wonderful story really made me mad! Is that how you react to someone in that situation? I think not. Loved and ate up every minute until some over creative nut got in the way of that ending.
I liked the dynamic in this. The story was pretty well put together. The first half was comedic and then launched into realistic issues I. The second half. The ending was unnecessary to me, but I really enjoyed all the actors.
So happy to see the main leads together on screen again! Liked the story and the actors did a great job. Scenery was just beautiful.
There were a few drawbacks to this series:
The second couples story was way too underdeveloped. I was really interested in that pairing too.
The way this was directed/edited, I felt like the scenes and the actors moments kept being cut abruptly. Enough that it affected the overall tone. Each time I’d start to feel something in a scene, they’d cut or shorten it too much which left me lacking attachment to the whole thing.
The story had so much more to tell, and I did feel somewhat unsatisfied. I wonder if they tried to get a big cameo for the end but it didn’t go through? Enjoyed the reunion, worth it to watch!
I didn’t find this to be as bad as some of the comments. A red flag romance with consequences, heartbreak and meddlesome friends with good intentions.
I think what made it boring and hard to watch was the direction they took to make this. It was so very drawn out and slow paced with so many long scenes of characters being upset and sad. The tone consistently left you feeling down most of the time(never really uplifted) so don’t expect a fluffy feeling series.
The main leads seemed stiff and unconnected. The second couple felt more natural in their acting and interactions.
Still it entertained me and I liked the concept of a series being focused on the relationship itself rather than a lot of outside drama.
I liked the actors and the premise of this story a lot. But then you encounter the usual problems with a story being too short. For example, I don’t think it’s feasible to believe that if one brother gets everything and the other is completely neglected his whole life, that if he loses his best friend/love of many years to his brother, he would walk away content and able to have an immediate relationship with them. That being the worst absurdity to me, I enjoyed the rest for what it was. Worth a watch 7/10.
Their story was the one I was most interested in. The actors were cute. Great seeing all of them together again. Loved the banter between friends, it really lightened the script. The story got too slow and weak in a few places. I feel like the dialogue for the main leads was over the top proper and polite all the time which felt unnatural to me personally. Even so, overall I enjoyed it! 8/10
Series derailed after the loss, but was good up til then. Writing became too poor & loose, audience couldn’t recover to continue to focus on the rest. I cried for the hallucination!! Please get the 2nd couple a show! Actors were all good & cute! Hope they continue as pairs.
Very surprised by this quick story! Visuals were just beautiful. The storyline was good and I wish it had been longer so we could get a deeper feel out of it. The actor playing Lei is so handsome my eyes were torn between him and the scenery. Congrats to the actors on such a touching performance!!
Really an outstanding drama! I wasn't sure where the story was going, but I love how well written and unique this is. Off/Gun/Dew are some of the best actors at GMMTV and they really showed it in this. I did have a hard time believing the ending because I felt there should have been a lot more dialogue surrounding what happened in order to get the characters to that moment. Still, I can’t let that totally take away from how well made this was. 9/10
You really have to like this kind of story to hold on til the end. I must have went through 5 theories about this and was still surprised somewhat. Actors were great, filming kept the story together all the way through(even with how convoluted it became at times), and the effects were appropriate for the story. This won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but they did a great job at telling this story!
Great cast. Everyone acted well. Production was good. Writing was really great…til ep 12 and all sensibility and reality went out the window. The cute moments between the couples were adorable. Would have liked to see Kings dad get his comeuppance. Have to lower my score since the ending didn’t pull it through.7/10
Love Billy/Babe!! Still I thought this series was a mixed bag. I really struggled getting through the first 5 ep. About ep 6 the story started to pick up for me.
Babes acting and dialog felt flat to me, like everyone around him was acting but Babe was just reciting lines with barely any facial emotion. (Still like him a lot, don’t get me wrong, a lot of it was the poor writing for his character too). Billy did so well from the get go! Impressive cast with familiar faces.
Once the story was in full swing I really enjoyed it. Lots to tell and I would have liked to see more of the side characters stories wrap up better. Overall a good watch and a good plot!!8/10
That has to be one of the best GMMTV ever made. I laughed throughout and can’t get over Ponds character in this. Even if it was written for him, his acting(or true self?) was absolutely outstanding! Both Pond/Phuwin have really grown in their acting skills. The writing/dialogue was intelligently written and the whole production seemed flawless.
So sorry a show this good was limited to 10 ep. I would have liked to see William/Est story develop a little more. It’s always the truly good ones that are never long enough!! Thank you for such an entertaining series. Cheers to Ponds future reign over everything!!!
Sea/Keen had impeccable comedic timing and banter in this series. I wish they could have pulled more of it off for longer because it was so entertaining. They really are a nice pair matchup even though they don’t have heavy chemistry. Somehow they work! Surf/Java also a good pairing with good chemistry. They had a good second storyline although I would have liked more depth to it, but alas! Overall I laughed hard, got a little sad in spots, and just enjoyed it for the pleasant ride it was. Nice series to binge!! 8/10
Absolutely healthy, adorable, light story BL! Even the friend group was supportive and cute. Actors had nice chemistry. Every time the episode would end, I couldn’t believe 20 min had even passed already and I wanted more. S2 would be nice with this group!!
Any of these drama shorts aren’t “good”. They just pass the time and have a quick loaded drama pace to suck you in. These two actors are cute and the storyline is clearly meant to be light and amusing. Good to binge and enjoy for what it is.
This was really a cute watch and nice to binge. Actors all had pleasant chemistry. The story stayed focused and interesting. Would have liked another episode on their progression, but I usually want another ep for series I like!
