Amazing Acting!
I'm surprised by the quality of acting, given that the actors are relatively young. I can feel the emotions that the main lead are feeling, which is amazing, especially since a lot of BL tend to cast new actors where sometimes the acting can be cringey.Its a slow burn and there are times I was so frustrated by the male lead, but as it progresses, it gets really good.
What keeps me going is the acting, really. And boy, it gets really sweet and cute eventually.
I'm glad I give this a chance!

Feel good drama!
I almost MISSED out this gem because of this low rating it gets here, when it turns out to be ONE OF MY FAV NOW!I've learnt to follow my heart and forget about rating. It depends on what ya looking for in a drama.
If you looking for feel good drama to relax, enjoy and warm your heart, this is for you. Is storyline super special? No. But, that doesn't make this drama less ordinary!
I've seen toxic drama with higher rating than this! This drama might be simple but it is also its purity and innocence that made it so cute to watch!
Sometimes, a simple, cute, relaxing drama that makes you smile from ear to ear, laugh from your belly and warm your heart is what we need. This is exactly what this drama makes me feel and I hope you would enjoy the sunshine and sweetness this drama has for you too :)

It's beautiful but depressing af
It's like the heaviest and most depressing BL ever. It's not even romantic, just depressing lol...I guess some would call it artistic, which it actually isDon't get me wrong, the show could have been great. I especially love the last episode, it's beautiful. I mean there are lessons learnt, etc but the way the show is being delivered is really really really hard to watch
I was enjoying for 1st half until I felt the story gets repetitive and eventually draggy. It also gets really really really depressing that i've to skip most of it, just to know the ending because I am curious
I wouldn't say the show is bad per se, but it isn't my style. Unfortunately, I feel heavy after watching this show, which kinda leads me with a lingering bad after taste, if u may.
I mean I am someone who could watch thriller show, but still, this is even darker than murder show, because its just so heavy emotionally, like it just keep going down the rabbithole. I don't enjoy it although logically I think the ending is very beautifully done. If it's of any comfort, the reaper is hot af haha

10/10 for the couple!
Oh my god, Tongrak Mahasamut is my new favorite couple now! Their chemistry is so chemistry-ing, I love them from the moment they meet! I really love the island episodes until they change to BKK.What I don't like:
- The family drama is unnecessarily dramatic. It feels like watching Lakorn when I'm here for the BOYS LOVE part, literally
- Side GL storyline is quite frustrating to watch as it's wishy washy
- I mainly skipped those parts above
What I like
-Couple chemistry, island setting, and ending
I love how they make a reference of meaning of number 0f 8 towards the end. Boy, I didn't expect it to get emotional but it's so beautifully touching towards the end.
While it's dramatic, but at least the situation is resolved. I like how Tongrak actually sees how he has been deceived by his father and he reunited with his mother- putting a solution to the messy family dynamic. This is important, otherwise we just end up with dramatic show for sake of drama.
While the couple story doesn't start as what most would call "healthy", it definitely ends up healthy which is again, important point. In fact, Rak story is very relatable and common IRL- people who shut down their heart but Mame did beautiful job in breaking down why and putting a solution to it. Very well done in wrapping up all these- probably one of her best story- I can see the storyline matures too
What I super like
The super touching and beautiful last episode as well as all our NC scenes!
Our boys KNOW how to kiss and eat each other up. One of the best NC in BLs- one that's hot yet you can feel the love- I love it. It's not a trashy kind of NC, it's just 2 men truly loving and going crazy over each other
I'm gonna miss the couple already!!!

Feeling disconnected towards the end
I love the storyline. It's unique and refreshing. I really enjoy it until last episode.I've no issue with the age gap, that isn't the problem. It's not so much about the story than the execution.
For past 5 episodes, my mind has these 2 actors as main lead. That's who I've watched, who I adore and who I've been waiting to watch, and suddenly....in last episode, we have totally different actor as Songjam?!
I get they are the same person but I feel NOTHING...because, I feel so diasappointed not able to see the kiss scenes between the younger Songjam and Aksorn, one we've been waiting for since the dance in episode 1. Although they do it with the older Songjam, it doesn't feel the same. HUGE EMOTIONAL DISCONNECT.
I dunno why they make the story so complicated. It could have been such a beautiful ending. Ugh.

I need more of JJ & Tor!
The acting is SOOOO good, especially Tor! I love how everything is wrapped up in 8 episodes= clean and sweet cut.Each episode keeps you wanting for more, and boy- when that kiss finally arrived- im like YESS!
It tackles the topic of euthanasia in a really diverse way- including explaining the legal side, moral side, and even talking about consent, etc. It's amazing to see BL starting to touch on deeper topics beyond just 2 men kissing each other (although i love watching that lol)
I especially love the ending as to how Wansa held Doctor's hand and then dropped the Hydrangea which represents "forgiveness"- just WOW! Got me crying so badly- it's just so beautiful
Side note, Tor looked so much like Namkoong Min somehow, especially the eyes expression. I think it's probably the similarity in character they have played before than the actual actor looking alike
Anyway, this BL is just so FKING GOOOOOODDDD- I'd totally up for more collab from this duo again!

Don't be fooled!
I think some people thought this show is all about sex because of the title, but it's way more than that. I mean, yes there are NC scenes but it's deeper than thatSome of the scenes are extremely touching, some are really funny, some are simply lighthearted. It's as the show describes, "No label, no tag, just love is the key spirit in this show."
I really love how there's a straight, gay, lesbian in the show- what a diverse representation. Kudos to the team in charge of Mama's costume. I love each one of them- so sassy! I also love the creative name of the cocktails and how pretty they look
I'm impressed by the quality of this Taiwan drama- especially how they're delivering positive messages in such a funny and creative way. It has amazing lesson on self-love and touches on issues around LGBTQ in a very tasteful manner.
I love the character development of the casts, especially Leslie. Their friendship gives off Sex in the City vibe.
S2? Yes please!

SO Sultry-ly good!
It gets more exciting after each episode- making me finish this in one day! I love the concept that the 4 minutes are based on. It's very interesting and meaningful at same time.What I'm impressed is how well executed this is. I was initially worried that I may get confused because of the storyline but it actually is very clear. There are lots of details being shown that helps you connect the dots very easily as long as you follow through each episode closely. It's seriously really good.
The plot twist are amazing! The acting are also very good- not cringey at all. I especially love Jes and Bible here. I also love Korn and Tonkla, despite the ending
NCs are SOOO goood- Be On Cloud really knows what it's doing! Now, what I like is how the NCs are a bonus and not the selling point. We've seen lots of BL that just gave you NC with crap story, this is NOT one of those
This is seriously so high quality on all levels. 8 episodes are perfect, anything more would be draggy, althou I'll totally take a special episode to watch more Jes and Bible!

I'm hooked and I want more!
Wow, I've never watched a BL like this one and I loved the plot so much!!!I mean, I get to enjoy the best of both world: the investigation of crime in real life and the investigation of past lives in dream life. Not to mention how it involves, dragon element, which is not commonly seen in BL.
Omg, this is like SO good that I'm so grateful that this is produced and I want more BL like this please!
It has such a refreshing plot, especially if you've watched so many BLs like me, there are just too many repetitive plot that you'll find this one a gem!
I love the story, the CGI and the flashbacks in last episode is best flashback in century! The timing that they paused the scene, and introduce flashback with the right music, it hits home!
It really keeps me on the edge- I am SO thrilled by it. Plus, the NCs are really romantic and sensual- I love it (and want more lol)
Overall, it's really enjoyable. If you find episode 1 hard to get by, you can skip bits of it, and once you get to a point where they start talking about the dragon, boy, you can't stop watching!!!

What a beautiful ending!
I put off this show for a long time as I wasn't ready for a tear-jerker, but I'm glad I finally took the courage to watch this.I'm really satisfied with the ending, it isn't like what I imagined at all!
If you're worried about this show being heavy or depressing, you've got nothing to worry!!
Of course, there are moments where I cried my eyes out, but there are also many moments where I feel so inspired and touched. It actually is heartwarming in it own ways and teaches us so many life lessons, including meaning of life, family values, life and death, and many more
Jdrama did it again: to be able to capture so much depth while delivering such an entertaining show at same time!

Don't judge it by its poster!
I almost skipped this because of the poster that looks like it comes from 1990s LOLI was initially worried that it'd be depressing or heavy, but it turned out to be more lighthearted than I imagined. Don't get me wrong, it is still sad at lot of parts, but it has lots of funny cute loving moments too. It evens out, I'd say.
It also has depth, like it's meaningful with life lessons while being romantic at same time. It also makes us think of the importance of cherishing little moments in life, not to wait until tomorrow as there might not be another chance, and so on.
Most importantly, the ending is satisfactory. I almost got worried for nothing. I mean, how can they break up?! That 3 years apart must have been challenging, although looking back, I do agree it makes them independent and become a better partner for each other.
I really love and miss their sweet couple moments already, especially that fish tank moments where Mhok look at Day across the glass tank!
I really want to see Mhok an Day in a special episode or sth!

Truly stands out from the rest!
What caught my attention is the trauma cleaning job. At 1st, I thought it's a "made-up" job, only to find out it's real. That fascinates me even moreThanks to this show, I get to learn about such a profound and meaningful job that's often overlooked. In this show, the trauma cleaners really did amazing job in uncovering the story of the deceased, and making sure any messages are passed on to loved ones.
What makes this show even more interesting is that the ML also happen to have Asperger, hence opening up a new dimension of learning for us to understand more about people with Asperger, how they behave and why they act a certain way.
Combination of Asperger + Trauma Cleaning makes thsi show stand out.
I cried so much in this show that I feel it helped me process and heal the grief that I had myself.
This is one of the best show Lee Jee Hoon is in as well. His character adds more flavor and excitement to this show too.
Overall, this has great storyline, execution, messages, lessons and acting! Highly recommended

This show has what other K-drama doesn't have!
After Evillive, I've seen the trend of shorter drama, which I really like, coz it means1. No unnecessary flashback or draggy story of ML past, just enough to give context
2. No filter scenes or cringey romance that only makes thriller more complicated than exciting
3. No "save me" princess FL in it
It's a pure 100% thriller, focusing on plot, story, action, this is how thriller should be done!!
I really love the pairing of Jiyong-Kang ok! Kang ok is like a big kid, so funny to watch. If you're pissed by FL in 1st episode like I do, stay on. She turned out to be a real crazy bitch you'll come to love for her bad-ass-ness!
I also love how Jo Heon in the end, and it's funny how he is like a korean hulk in this show lol...
All the casts come together to play their part, leading to a mega ending, its very impressive!
The ending is also unexpected, very well-done, although I am also sad when Seon Wook died, but at same time I am touched by his love for his friend and I believe this is what he'd have wanted as well, to protect and support Vigilante, right till the end.
This is cherry on the cake. Ji Yoing is SO handsome! It makes it easy to watch
It's really one of my favorite show where I don't have to fast forward at all!
The only thing is....my personal though is that such dark hero concept is sth that I would be happy in a fictional world only. In reality, I still think no murder can be justified
That aside, go and watch the show.

Keeps you at edge of your seat!
One night stand goes totally wrong! I'm glad that I watched this despite some of the nasty comments. It's SO good I finished binge-ing it in one day and now fully awake in middle of night lol That's how thrilling it is! Each episode keeps me on the edgeFirst few episodes have funny moments with some of the jokes by the lawyer, just the little quirky thing he did
I am a huge fan of the savage lawyer, both of them. The woman is pure and speak from the heart while the male layer is just damn funny, smart and cool. Also, he really spoke from the heart in last episode
That female prosecutor is a real bitch from beginning, like literally she has RBF. Even up till end of episode, she is still taking credit by saying how they did the work, no bitch, you didn't! But, at least, she did one thing right by not closing an eye eventually
My heart breaks for what the ML has to go through, really. Though it's amazing how he toughen up from a crybaby to somewhat a man lol...
Overall, its really thrilling and engaging. I love it a lot.
Gist...I love the dynamics of everything, the bromance inside and outside cell, all beautifully done
