I really like the webtoon, but the drama lacked in many ways. I just... couldn't get into it. It was nice, but it could've been much better and for people who haven't read the webtoon, some things might be a bit confusing. I don't know if it's because the leads don't have much experience, but their acting just didn't grab me, they did a good job at casting them though. Overall, I can't give this more than 6/10. So far, this year, no Korean BL is better than Semantic Error and Blueming.
I had no expectations when I started this, but wow, what a nice surprise! It was beautifully filmed and the actors did a wonderful job, especially Kang Eunbin! The chemistry between the leads and filming locations were also great! The drama was surely one of the best Korean BLs I've seen! A solid 8/10 for me, so far 2022 has given me some hope for the Korean BL industry :D
I'm sure most people will focus on the ending and how much they disliked it, I personally am not a big fan of it either, but I want to point out why I liked the drama. It wasn't perfect, at least for me, the first few episodes were a bit slow, the last two were hard to get through, but overall, the drama was about growing up, about how the world around you changes, but also how you and the people around you change and how something now matter what you do, the outcome doesn't depend on you. Nothing lasts forever, neither the good nor the bad times. People come and go, some stay, while with others you lose contact forever and neither party is at fault, life is just like that, once close friends, can turn into strangers. So that's one realistic aspect straight from real life. I liked how the drama was set in the 1990s, that's what made me start it. The way friendship was portrayed was precious and Yurim and Jiwoong were cute together. On the other hand, Seungwan was such a promising character, so I think she deserved better, the last scene with her was simply ridiculous, considering what she was supposed to be going through. For the main ship, all I can say is... some people are better off as friends, that's why I was able to enjoy Heedo and Yijin's story, their chemisty while they were friends and pursuing each other was great, but when the romance came... well, it was rushed and I think that our biggest problem was that until the end we had some hope, while the ending of the drama was already set from episode one. The drama made me laugh and cry, although I have mixed feelings about it, that doesn't change the fact that it made me emotional and I'll remember it for a long time, but... what was the point in the 2021/2022 scenes? To make us hate Hedoo? She was nothing like the Na Heedo from 20 years ago, it was like all her fond memories and friends were all gone.
I prefer the first season, but this one was enjoyable as well. I guess I liked the previous season more, because the main actor was more chaotic, that was the biggest charm of the drama, here there was a little bit more depth into the other relationships, but it felt like the lead actor's storyline was pushed back, so it could make way for others. Well... I guess our "Mob" will get the BL love life he deserves in the third season. xD
The drama wasn't bad, but I couldn't take some things seriously... like those "flying" scenes where they jumped off, it was a way too much, plus Gun's physic makes some scenes really hard to believe. I'm not saying every gang member should be super well-build, but still... Everyone did a great job with the acting though, especially Gun. But I wish there was more about Black/White's family. White's father had big plans for him, what happened to all of that? I wish there was some closure there. The drama wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed it. The chemistry between the leads was there, the idea for a change in society was a nice touch too.
The storyline had a potential, but it really wasn't very clear why and how Yeonseok fell in love with the male Hayeon, it's like he was forced to, just because the person was Hayeon, I couldn't really feel the emotions. The drama wasn't bad though, it's on the better side of Korean BL. Jin Gun did a great job with the acting, but Chang Ha... I really wanted to skip his crying scenes. Overall, a nice try, it could've been better, but considering the amount of episodes and length, it was an okay drama.
The first two episodes, especially the first one, were beyond ridiculous. For such a short drama... adding a second couple (where things basically lead to nothing) is kind of pointless. The mains were good-looking, but that was it, I couldn't feel any emotions between them. It was a weird "love" story. At least, the second half of the drama was better. But that final kiss... I appreciate that Korean BL series are taking the skinship thing more seriously, but here the kiss was quite awkward.
FINALLY! A Korean BL done right! The chemistry was just wow and the drama is actually better than the webtoon, things there are going in a weird direction right now. I really enjoyed everything about the series - the actors, the setting, the ost, the acting, the scrip too. The story itself isn't something we haven't seen before, but once again... the drama was just done the right way. I surely liked it a lot! & the kisses... definitely the best ones in a Korean BL, considering the fact that Jaechan is still actively promoting as an idol and is so young, I'm sure nobody expected that level of skinship.
I just watched the drama for the third time and the feelings are still there. I don't think I've ever been invested in a drama so much before, it just grabbed my heart and it doesn't want to let go. I'll definietly watch it again in the future and I'm sure that it will have the same effect on me.
There's always room for improvement, but this actually wasn't as bad as other short Korean BLs. & I wonder at which university they filmed this... the location was beautiful.
The actors did a really good job, but the whole drama didn't impress me much, it was boring at times, there was not enough suspense or action scenes. It portrayed today's society and its messed up values quite well though, when people are in the corner, driven to the edge, their true self shows and the "image" is rarely pleasant. Zombies are not my thing, but the concept of the drama wasn't bad, I just needed more... I don't know of what exactly, but the show just didn't grab me, so I think the rating here is too high, I can't give the drama more than 6/6,5.
The drama definitely has some of the best action scenes I have seen in the K industry, Lee Jehoon did a marvelous job! The cast as a whole did a great job, I wish there was more background information about the two mechanics though. There were some plot holes and unrealistic things, but overall, the drama was nicely done and people who enjoy action and thriller would surely like it.
Yoojun's acting saved the series again. The whole idea of monos and probes and everything related to them is still ogirinal and nice, but the drama is badly written, boring and with many plot holes. I can't say I enjoyed this nor the first season, but let's see what they'll do with the third one (because the ending suggested that they will continue the drama).
What a pleasant movie to watch! I thought it would be hectic, because there are so many couples, but each of them got the screen time they deserved. The old couple was very heartwarming to watch & Haneul definitely added a comic touch to the story. It's such a nice coincidence that I ended up watching this on the New Lunar Year xD
I honestly don't understand the hype about the drama. It was good, but not the best. I can't give it more than 7/10. The story wasn't something very original and the first two episodes were so not interesting for me that I almost dropped it, but I'm glad I didn't, because it got much better after that. Nanon definitely saved the drama, the production and filming locations were also nice.
This drama felt like it was about everything, but Yeong Woo and Ki Jin's relationship. They didn't even have any interactions in episodes 6 & 7. I felt no romantic chemistry between them, just a friendship between them would've been enough. Once again, the third wheel was the most passionate about the romance. Tons of plot holes, messy and boring plot in general. I don't know when Korea will learn how to make proper BL series, hopefully soon, because otherwise, they are just wasting money on all of these short series.
This was a very heartwarming drama. A little bit too dramatic towards the end for me, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The places where they shot this were just magestic, the chemistry between the mains and their acting was very good. As a teacher myself, the drama was close to home. It was surely one of the best BLs I've seen, I hope we'll be offered more of this in the future.
Nice theme with the time travel, I'm a fan of it. The scenery was also beautiful, but there was zero chemistry between the two leads. Honestly, Kim Tae Jung was the most passionate about the so called "romance".
The drama was a bit rushed for me, but it was still enjoyable. No matter how you look at it though... the relationship is still a bit toxic. Maybe if we got a few episodes of them together as couple, they could prove me wrong, but their thoughts and actions prior to getting together just scream obsession and I'm not a big fan of that. Still, the way this was shot was great and the mains did an amazing job.
Make your days count... what else can I say? Although the ending is not for everyone, I had no problem with it, even though it was unexpected and came out of nowhere, but isn't life like that too? We all make plans about the future, but sometimes things just don't work out. The main couple did an incredible job, especially Wayne. Bo Xiang was a bit annoying for me. He didn't want to be treated like a child, yet he acted like one. Also, did the writer somehow forget that one of the twins had a crush on Xi Gu? Or at least it looked like that in the beginning, but nothing came out of that, so what was the point? Anyway, even though the plot wasn't outstanding, the actors made me enjoy the drama a lot.
I just... couldn't get into it. It was nice, but it could've been much better and for people who haven't read the webtoon, some things might be a bit confusing.
