ZeeNuNew, that's all
Tbh, I liked it. It's not the best show and I thought it's gonna be a pain when I saw how Kuea is behaving like programmed robot but then he showed his true colors which made him much more interesting and hot. Even though I don't get why he pretended to be someone else in front of the person he grew up with and loves the most, I liked his and Hia Lin's chemistry like when he teased him all the time and pretended he didn't know about his secrets. Well, that'd be good for the start but this plot is dragged to the end which made this series boring. It's also a shame my favorite second side couple appeared there so little. They had amazing chemistry and it's the same like in Bed Friend, zero screentime. But I'm hyped up for Middleman's love. They need their own series now.Was this review helpful to you?

Best R-rated content with no toxicity
By toxicity I mean sexualized rape and abuse but Payu and Prapai, even though they were portrayed as playboys, they both turned into amazing boyfriends who take care of their loved ones better than anyone. I really enjoyed the story and the development between the characters. Rain became more responsible with his life and well mannered. Just the stupidity didn't leave him. 😂Payu became much less aggressive, more calm and very caring. Hubby material.
Prapai became faithful to one person and learnt to treat his lover with respect and stayed by his side in his darkest times. I really loved how he stayed with Sky all day and night when he was seriously sick from overworking himself. The worry in his eyes was everything and gosh his smile.
Sky learnt to trust people again and learnt to love. He became my favorite character with his dark story he was able to hide with his smile and overworking himself but it hurt him. He needed someone to start new story with so he can stop thinking about his trauma. I don't know if he ever visited therapist and was taking pills but it hurt me every time seeing him suffering in his own dreams. It kept hunting him for so long and there's no way he can ever forget about something like this.
All I wanted was worse ending for Gun because in the end he got the same punishment as Stop but it's completely incomparable. Stop kidnapped Rain and was threatening Payu with hurting Rain but in the it were just words and all he did was give Payu few hits till Chai came for him. While Gun... physically and mentally abused Sky for a long time and when he got bored he really.... I don't even want to mention it but it made me so freaking angry like how can you give him to your friends for rape?? And when he was finally happy with Pai, it made him want to rape him again and brainwash him about Pai hating him like wtf??? How can someone have this kind of mindset??? He reminds me of those psycho murderers who became legend for their craziness
Overall, I really enjoyed those love stories and they made it well with dividing their parts. Not like UWMA and Between Us which should be in my opinion mixed together.

Expected more from R-rated series
I fell in love with Win and Team in UWMA and hated how very few moments they had. In my opinion, it would be better not to let Dean and Pharm have all the screen time and add there Win and Team because in these series it sometimes felt like the screenwriters didn't know anymore what to add to their story.I guess it was naive to think they'll have more hot scenes like in the shower or more bed scenes. I have to look somewhere else. Dean and Pharm also didn't have any hotter scenes, it was more about the repeating of the suicide which isn't for little kids. Like in UWMA, the tragic moment here was also repeated too often. Ut was important to know the cause of Team's nightmares but it doesn't have to be shown in every episode. It's not pleasing to see the drowning so often. But the end amazed me how Team's Aunt comforted him to know it's not his fault. Very touching movement.
Tbh, I was curious about Team being introduced to Win's family. Their father seemed really strict and controlling so I was curious about how he'd take it when Win was so quickly welcomed in Team's family but it was left opened. What they did better is they had side couples have their moments unlike in UWMA. Well, Manow could have more moments with Phruak but it was aimed for bl fans so we got two more bl couple plus Dean and Pharm.
What I really liked is that it wasn't just about sex. There aren't any explicit scenes (idk about uncut version) but it started like this. There are many signs of love like taking care of the other when he's sick, trembled. Cooking for the other one. Missing each other... support, hug but their dating phase took too long. They started dating at the end but were in love since ep 1 just couldn't admit it.
Really, the story was great but it was just missing something and it didn't look so thought through. More like fanfiction but still great and entertaining.

MUST WATCH AND BRING TISSUES
I have to say from the trailer I have not expected it to be so emotional. It looked spicy and dramatic so I thought they'd be more bed scenes but I'm not disappointed at all or anything. I love bl matured stories and EarthMix are just fit for them as they give the vibe of experienced and matured duo. But I'm most amazed by First. His role of Alan was pretty heartbreaking and dramatic. I was looking forward to his first scene because I knew he'll make it pretty dramatic. The storm after the sun. His role was also pretty matured. Even after harsh break up and losing the person he loved to the man that appeared to be his client. He acted so professional in his work but he still couldn't hold it in anymore and visited the Chicken diner. When he saw how happy his lover is with that man and even after seeing how he's broken, Wen still cared more about Jim, it really shattered his heart apart. When they showed their happy moments, I really wanted to cry cuz even this lovely moment can turn into hate making me think about all my favorite couples and imagining them like this too which really broke me.I have to say there was big contrast between Alan and Gaipa. It may not be so visible but Alan was the one witnessing everything, knowing everything, being aware of the harsh reality while Gaipa had his hopes up, he didn't see Jim being happy with Wen, he was not aware and so his love continued and he was happy just unsure his love is mutual and then it broke. He confessed and got rejected, he tears were so pure. But not only losing his hope, he even lost the person he cared about the most soon after losing his father. He became suddenly orphan with no one to rely on. I was so happy when Alan confronted him and wanted to help him with his financial situation. Alan grew up and visited events where JimWen were too. He stopped living in the past and focused on his work and current life. As he talked more and more to Gaipa and knew how emotionaly damaged he is, he got liking to him. I liked how he was gentle and patient with him and show him empathy because they both went through a lot of pain. Seeing both of them making each other happy again melted my heart. If there was second season, I'd love them to be the main focus. Their backstory, Gaipa losing his father and Alan exploring his sexuality with Wen. Sharing their sad backstories and being each other's support. They are both who give everything in nothing in return. They are both willing to change for the person they love and they both leave empty handed questioning why they are not good enough.
Second couple that caught my eye is Li Ming and Heart. Knowing the actors had to learn sign language for their lines really shows how much effort they put into it. Li Ming was everything Heart needed the most. A person who tries to understand him, pays attention to him, treats him as normal person without any boundaries, learns to communicate with him to get closer to him, shows him the world he never knew and gives him ambitions for his future. Li Ming was actually the most matured person in this series changing even the adults as Jim and Jam and Heart's parents. He knew no gender when it came to love and gradually felt to Heart something more than friendship wanting to touch him, hug him and kiss him. They had many adorable scenes together and brought the happiness to our hearts when the scenes were too dramatic. It's great in the end no one wanted to separate them as they saw how strong is their love and even let them study abroad together. Everyone in these series grew up so much which is the most satisfying ending I'd say. Even irresponsible Leng taking care of his girlfriend and son. This is the longest review I wrote as I had so much to say. I loved everything here just not the amount of episodes as they were too short! I hope to see more works like this in the future with matured content but not sexualized scenes but the harsh true of reality. I want R rated contents to be like this. No sexualized r*pe, no toxicity between male leads and not showing it as something hot. It's wrong.

Wait for it, it's worth it
I have to say by myself, the first half fell more like fillers. Not the first two episodes where it's actually explained everything but until ep 8 it is really slow and it drags the plot. The acting is also not so good until ep 8 but no offense to Jimmy and Sea. I really respect them both, it was their first project together and their first main lead roles. They are both still rookies to me but I can't wait for their new series that seem to have much better story. But I appreciate Ohm's and Nanon's appearance after seeing Bad Buddy. Nanon just never fails with his eyes and Ohm with his sassy side. The plot is not actually bad, two completely different guys travel to different dimension which saves their life as they were dying giving them new chance to live and to bodies they appear in are deeply connected by past. Then they are trying to find out if they are portkeys which takes six episodes and they are still not sure until they think about pink color that connects them which seemed a little silly to me but cute. But the confession was one of the best, we got to see many famous actors from GmmTV like Mix, Tay, Gun, Perth, Neo, Force, Book... and the best part started when one of them got finally back. It was interesting seeing Sea and Nanon and Jimmy and Ohm together. Actually Jimmy and Ohm made me smile remembering how jealous of Wai Pat was. The end was also very good how their different place in society almost made them break up but both followed their heart and stayed together while trying to create memories from the other verse. We also got to see it wasn't just fun and new challenge but also harsh experience as one man traveling back lost his wife and job, lost everything because the other one ruined his life in his body. Then we got to see how Joob died because the one in her body died first and she got a heart attack which was really heartbreaking. And then Puen could comfortably return to his life while Talay almost lost the dream he worked so hard on. It was really sad to see how badly Tess took care of his life and made a complete jerk from him like he is. This series can teach us a lot about hard work paying off, not giving up on our dreams and that true love is more important than career but it's still real life so we can't completely give up on it. I'm glad I made myself watching it all but I don't think I'd rewatch it.Was this review helpful to you?

A LOT OF PAIN IN A LOT OF LOVE
This story has a big rewatch value but I don't think I'll see it again because of the depressing theme that made me cry several times but this story is really amazing I won't easily forget. Pharm is the perfect uke who can cook amazingly. Most popular cute boy. Dean is the perfect seme who is always considerate, gentle and asks for consent. It just proves top doesn't have to be toxic, aggressive, perverted to be cool. At first it looked like love at first sight but soon it was obvious it's everlasting love that's living even after death of their ancestors. The suicide at the beginning really scared me to watch more. I thought it'll be just depressing and thrilling but seeing couple like WinTeam won me back to give it a try. There were lots of tears, cooking, lay's, smiles, makeup tutorials but most importantly love and not just romantically but also strong love between friends, siblings, parents and their children. This story was really beautiful and it was pretty balanced how the first couple was the harsh reality when they just couldn't be together but couldn't separate even after death. The second couple had what the first hadn't and that's acceptance from their surroundings, their family, friends, basically everyone and that's how their sweet love could continue and third couple was the natural love without any fate. Just senior falling in love with his hungry junior and their feelings were slowly mutual. They don't have many moments here but all of them are worth it and make you love them. Boun is just the hottie who carries this show and Prem the funny character that lightens the mood when everything seems down. This show is worth it of winning any award and it's a shame people who's taste is not bl or basically gay ships won't get to see this because there is much more than gay romance.Was this review helpful to you?

SO GOOD!!
Tbh, after reading Cherry blossoms manhwa and then seeing the drama, I thought I'll be disappointed but hell no. Both, manhwa and drama were very attractive and the actors played their roles really well. They were hot, funny, loving, just everything I want to see in couple. I loved how Sangwoo is not the typical bottom but he's bossing Jaeyoung around and he'll do it. As soon as he knew he has wrapped Jaeyoung around his finger, he really took advantage of it but felt the same way as him. It was really hilarious how jealous but cool Jaeyoung was and what I liked here which was different from manhwa that Sangwoo did not care about genders and traditions. In manhwa they are still just bed friends while here they started as boyfriends which is great because Sangwoo knew what he wanted and didn't think much about his prejudices and lived in the moment. Really great K-drama and want to rewatchWas this review helpful to you?

WATCH IT!
These series gave me everything I could wish for and even more I didn't ask for but still liked. Kinn being the arrogant brat he should be as mafia boss's son falling in love with poor bartender with debts that aren't his but his father's and using this to make him work for him was genius. I don't want to praise the authors much as I know about the issue and toxicity with them but this story is complete masterpiece. There was no episode that'd bore me or that I'd expect what's gonna happen next. Porsche automatically became my favorite character together with Pete and Chay. Power bottoms but they were all amazing. Also Kinn's older bro was the legend. I laughed everytime he appeared on the screen showing how great the actor is. I liked how Kinn taking advantage of Porsche wasn't overlooked but Porsche was genuinely hurt and Kinn prayed for his forgiveness because it's not okay to sleep with drugged person. Being lost in that forest was really everything they needed to understand each other more and get closer. It helped Kinn to change too and be more himself. Then we have Kim and Porchay aka younger generation of main couple. As I learn Chay's actor is still minor, I did not want to couple them very much as Jeff (Kim) is 10 years older. But luckily there weren't those scenes between them. Just innocent kiss on the cheek from Kim and cuddling. When Kim told Chay he did everything just to learn more about Porsche and his family and Chay broke into tears, I had to cry with him because he is the only character I can't stand hurt. He's just pure angel I fell in love with. It hurt me seeing him hurting himself with alcohol and almost drugs but Kim appeared again and tried to reconcile with him which was really hard but made Kim love Chay more. And in the end we have Vegas and Pete, couple I shipped just from the intro and funny scenes together turning into the most toxic but my most favorite. I seriously laughed when Vegas killed Tawan as I hated him and couldn't imagine Vegas being serious about anyone. He fooled me as I thought he's into Porsche but using him just as bait to hurt Kinn. I hated him for this but still liked his character. Then... everything went blank as Pete, my fav character I love, was being tortured to death by Vegas. He suffered so much he wanted to die but Vegas wanted to toy with him more. Now why are they my favorite when it's obvious red flag and KinnPorsche is completely green comparing to this? Emotional scenes is the answer. Learning about Vegas's past and seeing Pete struggling with the same thing. Both were left with daddy issues and child abuse which made them even closer and than Vegas's pet, the only thing he purely loved, died and made Vegas and Pete closer to that level Pete couldn't resist his urges and slept with Vegas. It seemed great, Vegas was more himself and less aggressive but after his so called dad hit him he became the same again and took his frustration on Pete again and Pete was suicidal again. In the end Pete managed to escape but still was stuck in Stockholm syndrome and was blinded by love to Vegas. I have to say Porsche disappointed me when he let Vegas see Pete for his help. Pete was hurt again, completely broken and I hated to see that. Vegas even strangled him to calm him down so he was still abusive. But the last scene where they are chasing each other as enemies and Vegas is unable to kill Pete is he's the first person he fell in love with, he wants to be killed by him instead. The scene was so powerful and emotional as both can't let each other go despite everything they went through and how Pete was sure Vegas died after being shot three times, I really thought he's gonna die with him as they were addicted to each other. This weird obsession that turned to love. I cried, I really cried very much and fell into depression as I thought my favorite couple and ship just sunk but I waited till the end of the episode Porsche making me the happiest woman by saying Vegas is doing fine with Pete by his sight. The final scene where they smile, are happy like complete and heartwarming family melted my heart. And Vegas's brother accepting Pete and totally loving being with them with no worries was so amazing. I came here for spicy scenes but my favorite because the family moments between couples. Absolutely loved it and recommend it with all love!Was this review helpful to you?

Dropped
Well, the beginning was interesting and I got curious about the plot but it ended way too fast. They acted like Tom and Jerry for first four episodes and then were all over each other. I have to say I thought I'm gonna sympathize with Type after his traumatic past but he ruined my image of him in sixth ep. I get why he hated LGBTQ community but that doesn't mean he could hurt Tharn in the way he did. Tharn was also at fault for molesting him in the first eps even though he knew he hated gays and he did it in his sleep without consent which is a crime. He kept pouncing on him until he agreed to let him his way. Their whole relationship was toxic from the beginning. Also Tharn shouldn't agree to being bed buddies when he loved him, he knew very well what it meant but in the end it helped him to get closer to him. Now Type. I did not get why Type offered Tharn to sleep with him for some favors he did for him like some prostitute. He doesn't like to owe anyone and thought this was the only thing that Tharn wanted but taking him out on a date would be just more better and respectful. The whole time he was annoyed having sex with him so how could this repay anything? But Tharn got his hopes high he got more closet to him. Then after they turned to bed buddies, he went to see girl behind Tharn's back and now he's a complete asshole. He lied to Tharn but then told him it's none of his business and they are just f buddies even though he knew Tharn's feelings for him and what's more he knew the girl he's seeing has a crush on him. He slept with Tharn while chatting to her how he likes her. Then he wanted to sleep with her on their very first date. Well, she shouldn't invite him to her house which makes her look like a hoe but still. In the end he couldn't sleep with her as he somehow realized his feelings for Tharn and ran back to his d. Jeez, they both are way toxic and when I read they'll break up more than two times I gave up. It's just relationship that doesn't work and in the end they keep hurting each other.Was this review helpful to you?

Hot and emotional at the same time!
I went here for the title as I was looking for spicy series but then I found more. Uea was struggling with his PTSD after being molested by his step "father". But that's not all. His mother physically abused him for his sexual orientation and treated him like complete trash, never believed in anything he told her and he lived in this hell for several years. My first impression of King wasn't very good because it was obvious he liked Uea physically as he slept with him when Uea was drunk which is not right. Uea was broken again after that happened but still agreed to be friends with benefits with him. It looks like it's enough for one person but then his crazy ex tried to tape Uea in the car and his new boss tried to rape him in his office. Idk what was this obsession with fucking Uea but they all treated him like some sex toy and that was so heartbreaking. He had no confidence, he was afraid all the time but still managed to be sassy. After knowing him better, King eventually fell in love with him and helped him with al his issues. He took things slowly the more he liked him. I appreciate it. He protected him from those bastards and got rid of his fear from lights off. Even with his trust issues, Uea fell in love with him as he acknowledged he truly cares about him and it's not just about sex. I have to appreciate here Jade the most, Uea's best friend with innocent intentions. He always helped Uea when he was in need and was here for him before King showed up. I am glad he got his own love in the end cuz he deserves all the love. These series were traumatizing but I enjoyed the bed scenes with both being completely sober very much. It was hot even without more explicit scenes. And I loved how it got other way around and we went from bed to everlasting love.Was this review helpful to you?
Action drama with amazing romance
There was no episode that would bore me, actually almost every episode gave me goosebumps. I liked the contrast between Black and White and how well Gun the contrast showed us. White, the cinnamon roll everyone likes. Black, the antagonist we try to understand. My most favorite scene is at the end of episode 8. I won't spoil but the romantic scene was one of the best I've ever seen. It was not cringe, not out of place. It was completely natural like even the actors were in love with each other. They are so good to fool my eyes. But the plot of this story was very well made. At first I was just confused as White but we were slowly understanding the situation with him and were cheering him up. I'm sure I'll rewatch this show minimally once and it's sad it's so underrated.Was this review helpful to you?
The only thing hidden in this show was the plot
How should I start... let's say that the couple with the most potential here was actually WaveTrin (PodGuy) which was included completely out of blue at the end and wasn't even properly solved. I stayed mainly for AouBoom because the lack of their scenes in Vice Versa made me want more but it wasn't actually any better... And the main couple JokeZo... it was hell watching them at the start cuz I could not even imagine how could they get together with Zo's personality but it got better when they started dating.And wtf was that debate club?? I would expect they'd talk about serious and controversial themes with lots of opinions and trying to find solution to it but those topics were completely random and the contest is also pretty unfair when you are on the side where you can't say much about it.
And the hidden agenda?? Was it just that Joke did not want to help Zo get Nita but to date him?? That ended in like ep 3 or 4 and then it was pretty random.
I'm actually glad they added a serious theme like stalking into it but making it a cover for Nita's and Joke's relationship was pretty lame I'd say. And poor Nita... she was so plain and treated like a doll there. At first she was Zo's prey without even knowing, then a victim of stalking and sexual harassment and in the end she felt bad for winning scholarship which wanted Zo but his speech was so poor he did not even deserve it. I'd say wasted potential on side characters.
I also wonder why JoongDunk has much more chemistry irl and iconic moment on LOL fanfest but their characters' chemistry is below zero. Idk what show could make JoongDunk shine but SIMM and HA are not the ones.

TenPrem... seriously, father stopped bothering them, there's nothing in their way anymore, had several horny kisses but no sex? If it was japanese bl, it'd be actually better because you don't even count with it but from Thailand I thought they wouldn't make such a big deal out of it. Tbh, if it was Ten delaying it because he was afraid of touching, I'd understand it but it's Prem who delays it because of the contest and if Ten thinks it's because of Victor, idk the characters name, I wouldn't really blame him. How can even sex distract you and make you lose focus? If he's scared of the first time, delaying it would actually make him more nervous and unfocused.

Sometimes toxic, sometimes fluffy
Sailom was a perfect character and his sarcasm made me laugh but then his humor faded away when the person he trusted the most left him.Don't get me wrong, I liked how it developed between Kang and Sailom but the bullying at the start was too brutal and it changed somehow too quickly. Then when they became couple, it looked great. Their trip was seriously touching and I loved their love scene but when they returned, it went downhill. Even though Saifah confessed he did it, Kanghan had no right to throw the blame at Sailom as well! Sailom did nothing wrong but Kanghan treated him like a murdered and someone who'd do anything for money!
Sailom went through hell... his boyfriend ditched him and he had no money when his brother got locked up. I expected Kanghan would help him in this kind of situation but when he showed up to save Sailom from the r*pist, instead of calming him down, he started shouting at him, poured water at him to wake him up and even sexually assaulted him just because Sailom tried to get money this way... Sailom had serious breakdown in the bathroom and Kanghan was one of the causes but comforted Sailom and looked like his hero again... I'd expect a very big apology or Sailom being angry at him but no, he was taking all of Kanghan's accusations and insults... then when Kanghan learns the truth, it's like nothing happened. Like he didn't do anything bad to Sailom and Sailom ignores it too... I seriously loved it till ep 9 but the end disappointed me.

FUCKING WATCH IT!!
It was such a rollercoaster of emotions that after every ep you felt something! Either happiness, sadness, anger but you never felt bored or empty. I'm so happy the show continues! SandRay, the best couple, got happy ending which was my main wish and we also got Mix at the end which was my second wish. Everything ended just as I wished but second season makes me nervous from experience like SOTUS S or Young Royals... and many more ofc but for SandRay I'd handle everything. I'm seriously curious about Mix's character and hope his characters' name won't begin with B which means no good in this story and also no happy ending. If Earth joins him throughout the show, I couldn't wish for more. My somsoms heart would be in seventh heaven. This show inspired me so much and helped me go through every week. I thought I'd feel empty when it ends because I didn't expect it'd seriously continue but popular and amazing shows deserve to be longer. 10 out of 10. Seriously amazing!Was this review helpful to you?
