I read a comment on one youtube video about the drama, which stated "The director cooked and he fed us crumbs.", which is sooo true xD haha I liked the drama, but it had its draggy and annoying moments, most if not all misunderstandings were caused by Suowei, the dubbing was weird and there were no surprises in the plot, but the chemistry between the actors really was great, they were definitely comfortable working with each other. The drama is overhyped for me, but it can't be denied that there was something special about it and it surely opened doors for Chinese BLs.
Aaah, why did I have to stumble upon a spoiler scene from the latest episode?? I was so excited to watch this drama, but now I'm scared to even start it T^T
I really don't like torturing myself with ongoing series, so I hope I'll be able to wait until winter break when more than half of the drama will have aired. Will I have the patience to wait until then... ha, I don't think so xD
I have mixed feelings about this drama... it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't very good either. At times I enjoyed the acting, at times I didn't. I couldn't really feel the chemistry between the leads, especially Geumbok's feelings towards Bihyung. Gildal was definitely my favourite character and Jigwi really was fox-like. The ending suggests a second season, but let's see if it will get picked up for a new one.
I can't believe it's been almost a year since he passed away. His smile is so precious and seeing his profile picture breaks my heart. Rest in peace, Jaerim.
I was following news about this drama prior its release and it was upsetting that the lead actor was changed in the last moment, BUT that's what actually saved the drama! Lee Chae Min was amazing in this role! The way he walked, spoke, his eyes did the acting on their own, he was wonderful! This had a promising start, but unfortunately, it wasn't wrapped up in the nicest way, it had a rushed ending, with many unanswered questions. They wasted 3-4 episodes on the battle between the chefs, but the last episode... I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This had its fair share of funny moments, great chemistry between the actors, but I wish they had handled the last few episodes better.
I really tried to like this drama, but... it just didn't do it for me. I didn't start it, because I had read the novel or because I knew the actors, it was simply because I am familiar with the abo concept and I was interested in what they would do with it in a drama. I liked the actors and their chemistry, the budget wasn't lacking, but I don't know... was it the writing? The first half of the drama didn't really grab me, I felt like I was watching the same thing over and over again, I needed more progress, then the second half was better, exactly because of the fact that things started moving forward, but with the amount of episodes and runtime, they could've done wonders, instead, the ending was rushed. The second couple intrigued me more, but in some episodes, they barely got screentime and I'm not even gonna start my rant about their "ending", so I read some of the extra chapters from the novel, because I just needed more of Gao Tu and Wen Lang. This was a nice attempt and I hope it will open doors for more abo stories, but here, something was just missing for me.
J-BLs really do hit different. I love it when I start something with zero expectations and it turns out to be good. This isn't a fluffy story, it's dark, traumatic and realistic, real life isn't all flowers, you also have to prickle yourself on the thorns along the way. The opening theme was beautiful, the filming locations as well, the actors had nice chemistry, for a web series, this was very well made. Wada Masanari was great.
This was... a very nice surprise. I expected nothing from drama, but the chemistry between the actors was amazing, this wasn't overdramatic and it had its funny moments. With the number of episodes and runtime, you can't expect something too deep and grand from the storyline, this would've been so much better if it had more episodes or if at least they were longer, but still, it was a very well-made short series. Yu Sin's acting truly grabbed me! The visuals of the couple really reminded me of the leads of "Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo".
This was a rather good adaptation of the webtoon. The drama had some changes, for the better. They really tried their best with the height difference, here it was 20+cm, while in the webtoon Aejoon is only 10cm shorter than Siyeol. I liked Siyeol's presonality and character here more. The series isn't something grand, but it had its good moments, it's an easy and fast watch.
Nothing new when it comes to the plot, the pacing was weird in the begining, but the chemistry between the leads was very good and the two girls were a nice touch to the story. I haven't read the manga, but the drama was pleasant to watch.
I think I walked into this with too high expectations. I enjoyed the drama, but not as much as I thought I would. This was beautifully shot. I really liked the chemistry between the leads, their acting, the supporting cast was also good, the FL's job was interesting and something new. Eunho and his daughter were a lovely pairing. But there was some unnecessary drama, this was by no means boring, but it wasn't that original either, nice office romance with good comedy elements.
The first season was definitely better, but Abe Alan was just as hilarious here. As Yukari asked Akafuji in one of the episodes "Are you two really dating?", well my question exactly. Talk to each other, please! The charm of the first season was how the two got together and how funny it was. But here... there was no progress in their relationship, just a little in the last episode. Those "kisses", really... the drama would've been better off without them. The managers need a spin-off or something ;)
I'm sorry to say this... but so far, I find the drama rather boring ;w; Half of the series is done and I feel like nothing has happened yet... hope it will be one of those drama with a weak start, but strong finish.

One thing after another, they had no mercy TT____TT
