Most BL series have this problem: too little episodes, while here it was the other way around - there were too many episodes (some too long) and they didn't know what to fill them up with, that showed most clearly in the last episode. The first two episodes were too cringy and I barely went through them while the last two were too slow and there was too much drama as a whole, which was not needed. The way everything miraculously was fixed as if with a magic wand at the end was just a no-no for me. I don't want to be too negative, because the series weren't that bad, but there were just many elements, which lead to nothing and thus felt pointless. Aoey's crying scenes were difficult to watch. I don't know if it was bad acting or if it was on purpose. The couple had nice chemistry though and Kao totally had that 'in love' look. I'll give this a 6/10, I can't rate it any higher, but there was obviously much hard work to make the series good, so I do appreciate that.
Try seeing "long time no see"! Although I also didn't liked Color Rush that much but others are okay and "Long…
I have seen Long time no see and I wasn't impressed by it either. Color Rush had a very interesting theme, but the acting there was too forced. From all those short BLs. Where your eyes linger and To my star were far from great, but were still much more acceptable than the others.
I think I'll really stop watching these Korean BL short series. Personally, I think they are a waste of time. No solid plot or character developement, no growth or depth. I didn't want to let my hopes go up, but I really do like historical dramas and I thought this BL might be better than the previous ones, but nope.
The drama is rather slow-paced at times, but the characters are likeable and the show as a whole just gives good vibes. It was very realistic, it portrayed life quite well and showed how harsh it is. I have seen a few dramas with Hyojin and she's an amazing crier and a very good actress in general, but here she annoyed me at times, because of her whining. Haneul gave a mindblowing performance. Overall, a heartwarming drama, which I enjoyed. ps, is it weird that I realized who the Joker is right away? :D
Despite the ridiculous coincidences (because, come on... is the world really that small? xD), the drama was rather good. The chemistry between Joongi and Chaewon was amazing and even though I really enjoyed Joongi's acting in the drama, I still hope Shin Hakyun will win the Baeksang award for best male lead, because damn... his acting in Beyond Evil was superb. There were some predictable moments, but also some very nerve-wrecking ones. However, the last episode kind of ruined things for me... I also wish we had more information about what sparked the serial killings, though I can guess it has something to do with Hyunsoo's mother. A shaky 8/10 for me, but I definitely don't regret watching the drama.
The drama was better than I thought! Obviously, Hakyun is the real MVP in the series, because his acting was beyond amazing! He fooled me so many times and I honestly couldn't get enough fo him. What drove me to start the drama though, was not him, but the theme with a serial killer and Jingoo, whom I've been following for almost 10 years and what can I say... the baby really has grown up well! The OST was also wonderful and there were some very nice twists. There wasn't really much suspense in the last two episodes, but the show was still interesting until the very end. It wasn't boring although it was slow-paced and props to all the supporting cast as well. Also, the chemistry between Dongshik and Joowon was just wow! I hope the drama will win many awards and I'm glad it got so many nominations at the Baeksang Awards.
I think this quote from the drama sums it up quite well: "To catch a monster, you need to become a monster."
Most people might disagree with me, but I enjoyed the first season more. Here, they mainly relied on Sam and Yu's chemistry, which is obviously there, but the plot... huh, I just felt like there was much more developement in the first season. Hopefully, if a 3rd season comes out, it will be as good as the first one.
I was not about to watch this drama, even though I've seen 17 Again years ago, but I decided to give it a try and WOW, I enjoyed it a lot! Lee Dohyun was amazing! The other leads and supporting cast also did a great job. The show had lots of cheesy moments, but I really liked the personal growth and the messages the drama relayed. There are no perfect people and thus, there are no perfect relationships, so if you want to stay with someone, you should keep trying your best. It's funny how while most people try to avoid their parents' mistakes, they end up doing the same ones. I'll remember this drama with warm feelings for a very long time.
I'm waiting for the day he'll get a main role! I've been following him for years and he's done a great job at portraying younger versions of actors in dramas, but he's all grown up now, so I'm sure we'll get to see more amazing projects from him in the future! :)
The cast looks very promising! I'm sure everybody is excited, because of the male actors (I totally love Changwook, Inyeop and Dareum), but Sungeun is amazing too! I'm currently watching her in Beyond Evil and her acting is amazing, plus that's her first drama, so for a rookie actress, she's really good! She's also very beatiful!
The movie has its flaws, but the chemistry and the acting were definitely very good! What can I say... enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate the little things, because as Yabe said... you never know what's going to happen tomorrow, so if you don't want to regret anything - live every day as if it would be your last.
I somehow made the mistake to watch the movie first and then the series, so I saw them in the wrong order xD But I don't think that was a big problem, because apart from the different actors... I also found a lot of different things in the personalities of the characters and I feel like the movie and the series can be watched separately, because the sequel doesn't start from the point where the prequel series ended.
Personally, I liked the movie more, because it touched more topics. I liked how they showed us that sometimes, we need to take a step back and be less selfish for the greater good, especially when it comes to the upbringing of a child, which is obviously... the biggest task in the world. Hio is one of the most handsome Japanese actors I've seen!

The series was nice and it was realistic, but I feel like I needed more. Props to all the actors though and especially Sara, she was great! Personally, I liked the movie more.
I haven't seen the main couple's previous works, but they definitely do seem comfortable working together and they have chemistry. The drama touched some very sensitive topics and there were some nice plot twists, but there were also many things that could've been better and less cringy. It was still a good attempt at something different though, so I don't regret watching it.
I am so glad I stumbled upon this drama by chance! It was light, funny, cute, but it could also teach you some valuable lessons such as to treasure and love yourself. The actors did an amazing job, I was very surprised! My biggest regret with this drama was that the main couple teased us a lot and left us hanging xD A solid 8.5/10 for me! :)
Korea is getting bolder when it comes to BL this year, but the actors they choose are still quite awkward when it comes to skinship. The two leads were cute as friends, but as a couple... it was a bit forced. The plot was overboard. The drama was short, yes, but it would've been much more pleasant without the unneeded drama. Something which disturbed me was that we could easily see their breath during many scenes. Like damn... poor people, this was obviously filmed in Winter, hopefully they were not too cold...
This movie was quite nice. The actors did a great job. This actually covers only the first volume of the manga, so if you want to know more about how their relationship progresses, I advice you to read the other two volumes :)
