Everything plain and repetitive will get high score on MDL as long as they cute and fluffy enough despite the BL is having the most basic plot with no significant drama. Any character with bad traits will immediately label as red flag and they immediately drop the drama and gave them bad rating without finishing them. They wont watch SE too and then give bad rating. It is a sad state for BL especially in MDL cause it affect the rating and some people will just blindly trust the rating. TBH, this is the most boring JBL coming out this year so far

Out of all time travel BL, this is the most logical one.
Also just because of the ending like that, doesnt mean it is a bad one.
and it is not creepy at all because it is happening around the world and pretty common too
especially with hetero couple.

I found this quite dull and generic. 5/10

People calling this BL toxic when it has more consent than the entire TharnType existence. SMH

Also people trying to be toxic by labeling this drama as toxic yet they can't justify what is toxic about it YET is making me shaking my head more. Why not watch it till the end or at least halfway through before making you conclusion.

I realise something with MDL scores of BL.
These BL watcher on MDL just want a rosy generic plot with no conflict
That is why when BL goes beyond those generic route with more drama and darker theme like betrayal and trap, they straight away label it as bad.
Some of the comments here are just bitter because the character they like turn out to be something else. lol
Some of those below 7 drama are really bad but this is not one of them This actually has decent plot despite some flaws

It started with promising plot for the first 3 eps then it went into the usual generic Thai BL route. 4.5/10

I feel sometimes people who are watching BL especially those who got into it during pandemic tend to over sexual BL. Like they want to ship the actors. they want to see intimate scene. They dont want sad ending. They want this. They want that. Then forget that BL is just like other drama too except the main characters are 2 men falling in love with each other.

When I see 2 young actors kiss, all I thought was "how innocent these 2 characters" since this is not the 1st time I see young actors kissing each other on screen. This has been in a lot of Japanese media too. Like some HS drama actually did cast young actors. And growing up, I have seen this on western drama a lot. But seeing this mixed reaction, I was thinking ... is the world changing now? But teenager nowadays are more advance then my time. Then it clicked with me. All of those portrayal are between boy and girl (i vaguely remember I saw girl with girl) . And most people conceive it as "normal" and innocent and not weird at all

probably because I have watched American version of suits, I found this neither good or bad. Just in the middle. 6/10

im tired of this super weak uke that keeps crying and needs the seme to protect them. Chub is weak and stupid. Ram is not an interesting character. Sky and Phai are more interesting to follow despite their limited airtime. That say something about this drama. It was not horrible. Just very weak drama. 4/10

This has a plot. A good plot but it lacks good drama to make it interesting. For longest time, it is all about the husband P cannot fits inside her. Instead of communicating properly like normal couple, they just keep their problems to themselves and thinking that is true happiness. No maam, no sir. 3.5/10

probably one of the worst drama from the past 5 years. The writing is so weak. Love doesnt change easily unless it is on the brink of dying. That is not the case of FL. There is a difference between a weak but you want to protect FL with weak but stupid FL. The FL lead is the later one. And ML almost villain plot is very half baked. Reina and Dori acting here are very weak too. Everything is very below average. And dont let me started with the annoying zoom in zoom out thing. 2.5/10

This series has 30% plot, 70% horniness
about the 3 CPs,

Main CP -
FahSher -> They are all about sex which is what the drama is about. Fah is a playboy that dates multiple persons and Sher is one night stand kinda guy. The plot is there but it so little and basic. Sex scenes are awkward sometimes. They are paassable
side CPs
TapPing -> They are repeating the same thing most of the time with their basic plot and their acting are .... stiff
GearPrince -> not much screentime but they exceed my expectation

5.5/10

the main CP dont have any chemistry and they so awkward together. The story is so boring and Duen Yi keeps on crying for no reason. Thit and Jean have better chemistry and more interesting story. Too bad they just 2nd CP. 2.5/10

So they change the ending? I remember reading volume 7 and they didn't get divorce but Yuki ends up choosing Misaki and Shuhei was left alone. Was that different manga? I dont think so ...

This drama surprises me each and every ep. Like u think it is going to A direction but no. They divert you to C direction while make u think thing going to be in B direction a long the way. I like how the twist and turns are smoothly done. I don't normally rate drama with JE talents high since some of them shouldn't act in 1st place, but Nino is able to deliver what the drama wants from him. 9/10

This is a very typical Japanese housewife theme dorama. It is well done but nothing bad nothing great.

For a fellow Asian, I still find it funny how Japan doesn't think a woman can be a good mother and wife if they are working. U think this is only male POV in Japan but actually it is true from their female POV too. I think they only have Japan working environment and education to blame since they make it very competitive with high standard cost of living. This drama is trying to steer from that narrative. They promote housewives can use their skills for work and comeback to workforce after years of being a full housewives. 6/10

Im pretty sure ML is having mild ADHD but this drama somehow only addressed it as he is .... different. I was actually enjoying most of the parts of this drama. However, I will say that I dont actually care about the "romance" they try to push between ML and the dentist. I would rather they explore more of the story between the dentist and her boyfriend rather than trying to shift her to ML. Which is why I would say the last 2 eps really didn't click with me. 7/10

Well. I haven't read the manga either but here is my take as an Asian myself

While im not Japanese, thing can be pretty much similar in some Asian cultures. Especially in Upper class family and Some middle class family, table manner is considered important. As shown in ep1, Yutaka had a flashback of his dad scolding him about his poor table manner. Being consistently told as a child that you have poor table manner can develop into inferiority. So he is basically distancing himself from eating together with other people in fear of people criticized his table manner. Eating together with Tane and Minoru basically breaking up his this exterior shell that he has been guarded for so long

I personally think this as main plot works because people will not just torn down something that they have guarded for so long in just one night. It will take a lot of time to rip off all of it. And along side the journey, a lot of subplots can be added to reach to that point. While this looks odd as a plot point for most westerner, most Asian will find this plot point as normal. But this is just my opinion as an Asian watching another Asian drama.

This drama has 1 plot. But the plot is so basic yet they keep dragging the storyline of that plot till the end. The pace is too slow that it makes me lost interest in it. Respect people personal space who? this drama doesnt know them. Also this drama probably has the deadliest fish kiss on screen ever. It is like watching 2 people who didn't want to kiss at all but have to do it by force because it is in the script. 4/10

I can live with the fantasy part of Catman, Hamsterman thing. But ... the ending left me thinking ... is that it? This drama has plots but it doesn't have a main plot. So there is no climax watching this. 4/10
