New Take On Kdrama
I was immediately intrigued by the poster and boy, it delivered!If you're Kdrama fans like me, you probably have watched way too many of cliche Kdrama that sometimes, we could use a break with something different.
This show is perfect for that! It's interesting topic and new flavor to Kdrama basically.
Also, it is interesting to learn more about neuroscience (although its not entirely 100% based on facts), but its just cute little moments that made the show funny yet thrilling
Definitely love the FL here, her transformation is savage!
Give it a try, and you might just love it!

More touching than it looks!
If it's up to Angel Krit, I probably won't enjoy it as much. But, P'Phum and P'Shan save the show? Boy, they are two really fine men that I want to see more of.Acting is good, especially for P'Phum. I also enjoy the storyline, although I'm not a big ship for Krit and Phum,
But, boy, this show is way more touching than it looks. The 1st 2 episodes made me think it's gonna be some comedy style BL, but turns out to have lots touching moments. It has some great lessons about life & death too.
Also, seeing the actor who play Jeff in Pitbabe acting here is like a bonus point.
Overall, I enjoy the show more than I thought I'd. I'm glad I didn't let the comments/rating affect me

FastFurious + Not Me + OmegaVerse
Everyone in X Hunter is cute & hot af! I really love this team and the racing scenes make it exciting to watch. It's really a fresh take on BL and I appreciate that.I know Way is supposed to be the "bad guy" & I don't agree on how he manipulated Babe, but really love Way. I can feel Way's love for Babe since episode 1. There's something about Way (probably it's Nut's acting skills) that just made me feel his sincerity towards Way. I love whatever "best friends" dynamics Babe Way has. It feels REAL, like I can feel they are close, tight bond and they love each other, although in a different way. For this reason, I really love Way and I cried so much in last episode
In contrast, BabeCharlie.... I feel Babe is dating a puppy or sth. The way charlie acts cute, to me, is more irritating than cute and don't even get me started on the papa/mama thingy, lol. Even then, I still don't dislike Charlie, until I see how he was hiding so much things from Babe!!! I especially felt betrayed when he absorbed Babe's power without Babe having a clue. That made him not much different than Way. BabeCharlie is my least shipped couple, seriously.
I came to know and love Pavel throught PitBabe. He has such a charming eye that would melt you everytime he stares at you, and he is a great actor too. I'd be curious to see him with another pairing, to see how it might work out.
Now, NC scenes are real good except that they seem to give us 89%...it was hot and then they would cut the scene like 10 seconds too early or sth! Ugh! But, the NC scenes for the 2nd couple is pretty dope though.
I'm totally having 2nd lead couple syndrome here. I am rooting for Uncle and Jeff the WHOLE TIME. I'm glad the focus shifts more towards them near the end to balance out the dynamics and pacing of the show. Also, am i the only one who thinks Uncle is so cute?!
I honestly feel this could have been a 10/10 show, even one i'd rewatch, if they had change charlie character, lol. I've nothing against the actor, it's the character itself that I'm talking about here
Overall, I'd still say I enjoy the show...Look, I'm at at point that I'd take any non-school BLs, so, to me, this is still cool

ML's character steals the show!
ML's character steals the show! His way of thinking is very unique, opening my own mind into many ways of seeing things in life, that I wouldn't have. For that alone, i find the show very stimulating and mind-blowinG!I also love the supporting characters. It feels good to watch a show when everyone is amazing, so I don't actually feel annoyed by one particular person, lol.
The storyline is very smooth, even when they jump scenes or timeline, it's not confusing at all. The timing, order and sequence are all very welldone
The 1st two episodes or so may feel a bit slow in the sense that it's not immediately action-packed. Nevertheless, it's very intriguing learning more about the ML. Once the storyline picks up, I can't wait to watch the rest.
Overall, I really enjoy the show and can't wait for S2!

A different kind of BL
If you've watched way too much Thai BL like me, you'll find this one really different and refreshing.I love the concept and it's beautiful to see how one can embrace the other despite the different personalities. It really shows what unconditional love can potentially look like
It's also funny each time Noah changes character, and I actually love both personalities
It's short yet enough storyline to watch, without being too dramatic or heavy.
Very well done for sth so short, I can imagine it'll be fully developed if its actually a longer series!

Funny, & touching and meaningful!
Don't let 1st episode fool you. Initially, I thought it's a bit goofy within first 5 mins, but boy, I'm glad I stayed on. It's touching and meaningful, yet funny.I wonder how this would be like as a BL, since the chemistry between the 2 MLs are amazing. However, at same time, I kinda glad that it's not. Bcoz, honestly while I love BL, i am a little bit feeling "intoxicated" by the unncessary drama or unhealthy relationship in BL, that I am so happy to watch a show like this one
It is healthy bromance yet there is some BL-ish element that still keep this BL fangirl happy.
In fact, I enjoy this than most of the BLs! I mean, not every male leads have to end up kissing with hot steamy scene, right? Sometimes, a real friendship or bromance like this one is what saves the show
Give it a shot, it's really worth it. I enjoy every moment and did not skip any scene!!!

It tests your patience lol
I'll start with, I do love the ending. It has a lovely closure for everyone and ever element involved. But, the execution could be better. It feel really rushed in last 3 episodes or so. So, its not pleasant to watch towards the end,. The only saving grace is the good ending, otherwise, I'd be real pissed lolIt started out really great until it starts testing your patience. I mean, EVERYONE knows they like each other, but they don't?! Oh, cmon! lol...If only they stop dragging the confession, the last 3 episodes wouldn't have been rushed, then it'd be a nicer drama from audience pov.
Otherwise, I love both the ML, and both of them is hot af! Like, face, body, and everything. They are my favorite shipped couple now. Also, this is one of BLs where they finally cast all handsome male actors together. Honestly it shouldnt be that hard right? If other drams could put more effort in this, it'd be nicer for our eyes lol
Now, is this show perfect? No.
But, it isn't as bad as what everyone makes it out to be either.
I hope to see this couple again, but probably in a better drama next time

Villain of the year!!!
Now, I don't think Dong Soo even deserve this title. He is a monster, not even a villain! While catching monster, he became the biggest monster of all. Ugh, it's frustrating, although I'm not surprised since he does have the most evil look among them lol..I'm not happy with the ending. I'm disappointed that the storyline had his brother asked Dong Soo to let go when he died instead of asking him to turn himself in. SO unfair ending.
Now, I understand the story is as such that Dong Soo turned evil because of his circumstances, bla bla.. But, it's a fact that he has a choice. He chose to be evil, and for that, there's no excuse of any of his behaviors.
I want a Season 2 just to watch Han Dong Soo put into justice.!!!
I'd rather Dong Soo died instead of Seo Do Young.
He is the one who I believe deserve the villain of the year!!! At least, Seo Do Young is consistent in his evilness. He has boundary such as not to mess with police. While he's on alert, he hasn't been plotting to betray Dong Soo, until he had to. That, he has my respect. Plus, he is the MOST CHARMING VILLAIN of the year!
I mean, that jacket and baggy trouser and sandal, boy, only he can carry it (that's the only jacket he wear for first 5 episodes lol)
Oh mo, I'm SO impressed by his acting. From his built, his gaze, his look, his walk, his talk, he is the gangsta of the year. I want another series just featuring him as sexy mafia head!
And our poor baby Agi...the brother who get caught in the war of villains. My heart breaks for him everytime he is in pain. His acting also impressed me a lot. There was even a scene where his voice shook so much when he cried. He is SOOO good and he has grown so much in his acting since I last saw him on Taxi Driver.
This is how thriller should be done guys. Rarely, we have 3 great actors put into one show, this is top notch!
It nailed it in casting, acting, pacing, timing, storyline, plot. everything, EXCEPT the ending
Still, it keeps me entertained throughout, worth a watch!

It's very dark & misleading somehow
When I started watching the show, it's very touching. While it's sad, it's touching with what Team Genie is doing. And then it went dark real quick. More than half of the show turned out to become a crimeshow thriller with recurring theme around suicide, abuse, etc. It suddenly became a really dark story about the casts.I just felt misled since that's not how the 1st few episodes are. I wouldn't have watched it if I know it's this dark. I am very disappointed. Although the acting is really top notch, I must say!

An All-rounder Movie!!!
Omg- Kim Woo Bin totally caught my heart on this one! It's one of his best performance so far!If you've watched way too many detective/prosecutor show like I do, then this would be something to your liking =but with a twist! Since it's about probation officer, it shows a side that's very important which are often neglected
It's full action-packed, with a touch of comedy- mainly because the main character is a funny guy.
He is like a small kid in a buffed body which matured into a matured man towards the end
I love the character development, the action, storyline and everything.
So many touching moments- especially the last scene. This is really a meaningful and exciting show!!
I also love the team spirit among the officers. It's really welldone. been a while since i watched such a great Kmovie! Thank you!

Really Entertaining!!
I really love it! It's entertaining right from the start till the end. It's lighthearted and fun with great comedy, yet it brings a story of redemption towards the end. very well done.How the ML got fired might sound a bit exaggerating, because I was shocked myself, but I'm thinking there might be some subtitle or subtext lost in translation. More importantly, it's the message they try to bring across about message on how women should not be objectified. It also has other social issues being touched on really nicely.
Very well rounded show with great entertainment value and meaningful message!

Better than I thought
I hesitated to watch since it's a high school drama- I thought we're over the school BL era? LOL...But, I gave it a try since it'll be one of the 1st sports BL that I watch and boy, did I love it so much!I finished watching in 2 days, it's refreshing since it's just something new in BL scene- sports drama- i love the sportsmanship, the team value, the spirit they have. I especially love how they raise money for the team which is so inspiring to watch. Of course, I love RyuZen-totally shipping them from episode 1
It's a narak narak kind of BL- no NC or real kisses, just cute puppy love which is fitting for a high school setting.
Everything is great except this part that I can't overlook. The street basketball drama that Ryu got entangled into was overly done. I mean, how can 2 high school students witnessed 5-6 people being killed, and they just moved on with their life next day happily playing basketball, like nothing has happened. This is not only not realistic, it might have send a mixed message or signal to the audience. Murder isn't something that is to be overlooked like that, even if it's self-defense in this case. It's a bit contradicting on how they're keeping the show innocent with the amount of non-existence NC, and yet they've this violence part that's sending totally different message
Beside this part, I really enjoy the drama as a whole- like it's just lighthearted, fun, and exciting to watch. I love the chemistry of RyuZen. And boy- Ryu is gonna grow up as one fine hot man for sure!

Surprisingly okay, without sub!
It's 1st time I watched show without sub, that's how badly I want to watch this! Why?Because I love all 10 casts and that's rare to like everyone in the show. Plus, my favorite pairings are put all in one show, this is like a dessert house for me lol
I'm surprised that I enjoyed the show, even without sub. I can't believe I sit on this for so long! Sure, I skip some parts where it's mainly conversation but managed to watch the games which are mostly what the show is for
The games are hilarious af and watching their inner boys coming out to play, screaming and shouting with so much joy just put me into so much laughter and fun
I really enjoyed it!

It made you laugh, cry and laugh again
I like this even better than the series itself! It's such an all-rounderIt really is SOOOO funny and the games played are super creative. I've watched A LOT of variety shows and yet I've seen games that I've never seen before here, which I was honestly surprised! I enjoyed it so much
The chemistry is very natural. It made me so happy watching their inner child comes out and play. It's so fun watching 12 guys having fun together.
Yet, it's so deeply healing with 3 episodes that are very touching and heartwarming.
And then, we are back to really funny again. My personal highlight is Nut, he is such a Queen and he made this show worth every smile line made LOL I serioulsy laughed SO HARD. so funny
I've always loved team Hunter in Pitbabe as I found everyone in the team amazing. But, this boys journey made me love literally everyone except Tony. It made me miss these 12 boys so much that I might just rewatch PitBabe again!!!

Beautiful Hidden Message
I first chanced upon similar concept of entering a game in "Memories of the Alhambra" which I totally dropped due to the intensity. So, I'm SOOO glad that we have KBL version of similar concept of sort.I really love their chemistry, they are such a sweet couple, especially the innocence of Yeo Woon. In meanwhile, Myung Ha' voice brings so much calming and assuring effect, I can listen to him talk all day long.
As usual from Korean show (BL or not), 1st 2 episodes are a bit slow and once it picks up, it's really engaging!
I love the hidden message about self-love towards the end, where it's indirectly teaching us to love ourselves first before making others happy, which is an important message. Often times, people misunderstand meaning of love because of how it is depicted as needing to sacrifice for others, etc in typical drama. So, it's beautiful to watch this KBL takes a lead in this.
Plus, I'm happy to see Geon Han entering BL scenes, showing more people are open to BL!
Overall, I love this show a lot, esp the couples. I really want seaso 2, or special, just to see this couple having their lovey dovey moments pls!
