I am pretty sure Check Out initially was planned as a promotional movie for that resort, but 9Naa Production decided to develop the movie into series since Chahub and Best's chemistry worked here. The only thing I hated in this special episode is that resort worker - so annoying and the way she talks...ugh! I have heard the sequel series was a huge disappointment for fans, so I am heading to 'check out' the Check Out series now.
First of all, I am here because my feeds were filled the clip of Rowoon flipping his hair so I decided to check this out. So, yes, I watched this mainly for Rowoon...who could ignore that handsome face? But, what's with the title? What the FL will never know? 'The webtoon title 'Senior, Don't Put On That Lipstick' sounds more logical. And the plot description isn't exactly right - Song Ah hardly emphasized she won't date younger men and also she only once mentioned to build a personal brand - the story is not based on her own brand. And Song Ah and Chae Seung's age difference was just one year - that's not much too complain.
The whole drama was a big promotional ad for KLAR. I agree that the leads work there but the name KLAR was emphasized so much. If you want a peak in the cosmetics industry, you can watch this show.
By the time I reached episode 9, I felt bored with the main couple. Their story was predictable. I was more invested in the relationship between Jae Woon and Ji Seung. Also, I was curious to know what's going on between Yun Seung and the chef. My most loved character was Yun Seung's kid - she is so wise for her age and is literally a love coach.
Though Hyo Joo was annoying, I didn't hate her as much I did with clinging gfs from other kdramas. I loved Jae Woon though because he really considered Jae Shin as a friend. While Jae Shin was selfish, I understand his situation and I also feel like he was more cheerful with Song Ah - his love for her was true.
My gaydar was accurate right from the beginning of the show. What annoyed me was the unnecessary addition of love between chef and Woo Hyeon. No, don't get me wrong. There are mainstream Korean BLs with happy endings. Then why add gay characters and give them sad endings in mainstream K-dramas? If you really want to give a sad ending, just don't even introduce such characters in K-dramas. It seems conflicting, you know what I mean - like they are trying to popularize the drama by putting gay characters so that BL fans can watch the drama too. I want gay side couples in kdramas to have a happy ending.
The last few episodes were so predictable. I skipped many scenes. A good one-time watch if you like Rowoon. Overall: 7.5/10.
I am watching the first episode and arrived at the car scene of Mai and Jade. Jade is changing the outfits to show that Mai drives Jade to his home everyday. But the car is stationary - like you can really see through the window that the car is not moving. But Mai is steering the wheel and applying brakes....I FOUND IT SO HILARIOUS. LMAO! Here comes the second funny scene: in ep 5, the editing is so poor with the pink plants scene. The window reflection clearly shows that those plants aren't pink. LOL! Overall, it wasn't that bad. Yeah, but the first few episodes Jade seems to be an annoying character. In BF, he wasn't like that. Here, he seems to be unbearably trying-to-be-funny and that ruins everything. And if we talk about romance, I thought a Thai BL would have a sailing ship by the end of ep 4(if its just made up of 8 episodes in total), but both main couple and side couple get together only in 7th ep. If there's one thing I liked - TUTOR SEEMS TO BE A GREAT KISSER! Hoping The Battle of Writers turns out good since it had a promising trailer! BTW those searching for the song of MaiJade's NC scene - the one with roses, here you go: Geminii - Blame Game(sped-up version)
Exactly after a year, I binge-watched this show. I am truly amazed. Highly recommend everyone to watch this show at least once. You will fall in love with it.
Finished watching this series. It wasn't that great and I felt bored pretty much. If there was one person that held my attention throughout the series, then that would be Yi's dad...HE IS SO HOT...NO WONDER WHY HIA YI IS THIS GORGEOUS...MUST BE HIS DAD'S GENES. Well, he was giving so much sugar daddy vibes. BTW, if my memory is not wrong, in Cutie Pie didn't they say that young Diao was attacked by a dog and lost his memories? I always thought it was a dog and how come its now tiger? Or maybe I am about the dog part but I definitely don't remember a tiger on Cutie Pie. Well, a few things I noticed with my keen eye - Yi's dad's house is that famous KinnPorsche house and Diao's dad's house seems to be the house of the Cake and Eiw from My Only 12%. Storywise, it was run-and-chase story. Diao wants to run away because he thinks Yi is caring for him as instructed by his dad and not for love. Then Yi gets into accident. Then amnesia. Then pretend to be amnesic. The same old. I enjoyed Cutie Pie a bit, but Naughty Babe was a disappointment.
Can someone let me know if you ever found out the bgm that plays during all Lom's and Nuea's intimate scenes - like Ep 4 for example? I have been searching it for sometime but I am unable to find it.
I was pretty much excited about Wandee Goodday since the trailer released. I loved Great on MOD and Catch Me Baby. I can say Great Sapol is the perfect actor to play Yak. Great has a got this duality - he can be a tough and muscly guy and at the same time, he can be a lost pup. His eyes are so expressive when changing his emotions from anger to sadness to joy. As for Inn, this is the first time I am watching him. Imo, Great and Inn have insane chemistry. Since I have heard that they both are close in real life too, I hope GMMTV doesn't break this pair and we get to see more projects of them in future. Thor and Fluke as Yei and Cher were incredible. To me, Fluke was the most impressive one. Despite being a rookie, he pulled off the role of Cher with ease. Cher is a mixed personality - he will sulk if Yei doesn't give his attention to him but Cher also is an understanding soul who glues the family together. I love how he fills his eyes with emotions during heart-touching moments. I would love to see a spinoff of YeiCher. And they should be given new projects as a pair too. The show touched some aspects like asexuality, HPV and gender equality. I hope we get to see more characters belonging to the spectrum in the future - maybe we can get an asexual main character. The OSTs were all good. I liked the show very much. It was a fun, light-hearted watch.
