I think this is the upcoming drama I look most forward to tbh. The beautiful teaser screams CHEMISTRY!! I have Been excited for this drama for like over 1 year(?) even before it was not confirmed it Will be made into a drama. The reason Why I’m so excited for this is because I love sweet kind gentle MLs that are not arrogant, and this seems to have a healthy relationship because they get along with each other already from day 1 (not that common in dramas) their relationship seems to be built on love, trust, respect and it seems to be so supportive. And I love the title ”The Best Thing ” Ofc not as much as the previous one ”falling in love with you is the best thing i have ever Done” but its understandable they changed title cuz the previous one is too long. I love the title(s) because it really shows how much they came To truly love each other , becoming each other’s world / the most important person to each other. .and i really love that <3
Page One Film (the production company behind this) produced Move to Heaven in the past! Since this is in the same…
Oh yay Im happy that there is a chance then for 30 min / per ep :) move to heaven only heard great things about that one so this BL Will be in good hands for sure :3
Was there steamy moments of both couples in manhwa ? Which couple you liked more? :)
I dropped this after 4 episodes, Idk if it gets any better .. i couldnt get into either the 2 couples .. the fact that Ze Rui was 25 and Zong Yi 17 didnt bother much so thats not Why i couldnt get into them . . The relationship felt too rushed , not well developed. Gosh the book trailer of the 2 other actors playing them (before it was confirmed this is would be a series ) was much better and more intense. I felt so much more in just that few minutes clip than 4 episodes of this series!
As for the secondary couple , i know most loved them ..even more than first couple but something did not sit right with me while watching the secondary couple
Since i couldn’t care any less about either of couples after 4 episodes , i had to drop this BL, such a dissapointment this BL is in my opinion
Well both couples are very interesting and different dynamics. I love hate/love relationships that are fire , like secondary couple .. but i also love soft / sweet relationships that are calm (like Nauriya’s comment) like the main couple. I think i have come to the conclusion I will love the main couple more, i think i will have such a soft spot for those two softies 🥺 and i mentioned here before that i love cohabitation/friends-to-lovers stories the most. <3 i do love Enemies-to-Lovers stories too but not as much (even if they are usually more spicy 🥵 ) , that kind of relationship is usually quite unhealthy ..hate/love , and i feel there are waaaay more of that than friends-to-Lovers , so friends-to-Lovers is a welcoming change. Anyways i think there Will be more to the main couple than just cute/soft… i think there will be some heartache too from one of the ML’s side, him who has a Secret crush on the other one.. i think he will feel a lot of pain because of this.
I give this 6/10. Ahn Pan Seok’s perhaps weakest drama. The first half gem the second half very bad and frustrating! The FL is one of the weakest in kdramaland, No backbone at all ..does she even truly love the ML?? The ML was gold tho, he truly loved her. The chemistry was amazing and natural , i loved there was lots of natural intimacy between those 2, like every episode which is uncomon in kdramas! But the second half was a disaster… ”stand by your man ” song should never have Been used in this story 😂 she did NOT stand by her man! If the second half would Been as good as the first half i would given this 10/10 without thinking .. but second half was ruined. I don’t recommend this drama. If you want a better love story with a actually STRONG FL watch Ahn Pan Seok’s other drama (less popular but much better ) ”One Spring Night” same ML and same screenwriter too .. oh also same actress who also plays the mom of FL who also played FL’s mom in SITR (but in OSN she is actually sane.. the FL’s dad however omg but at least the FL in OSN stands up to him and fights for the ML)
Another drama of Ahn Pan Seok drama I recommend .. especially if you like noona romances , i mean SITR is a noona romance but if you just like me hated second half and want a better noona romance then I recommend ”Secret Love Affair” , the best noona romance for me so far .. who knows, maybe Ahn Pan Seok’s upcoming noona romance ”The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” will take its spot (Im super excited for this one!!) anyways the age gap in Secret Love Affair is MUUUCH bigger than in SITR and it clearly shows but still the chemistry is just as amazing .. its sensual, sexy, hot .. omg !
Ahn Pan Seok is a amazing director, i love how he tackles serious topics in korean society .. he really wants to show how problematic korean society can be and he is not even afraid to tackle taboo topics. Also i love just the way he films / Directs, its so classy and the cinematography is so amazing ! One of the best Kdrama directors~
The only kdrama from 2007 and earlier I actually whole heartedly love. It’s not a perfect drama for me (I give it 9 out of 10) but the chemistry between the main couple is one of the best! And I love it deals with “taboo” stuff such as homosexuality etc , in conservative Korea which was probably even more conservative 2007. Gong Yoo while not some typical pretty flower boy he’s one of the best and I’m glad he became even more famous after Goblin , he deserves it. His chemistry with the FL here in coffee prince is the best tho! They had a passionate romance. I’m sad about Yoon eun hye I hope she can make a great comeback someday,, she deserves a second chance. One of the only few actresses in dramaland that was believable as a “guy”. I get many were so annoyed of her character but I was not that annoyed , just a little. The one who actually annoyed me was the selfish second female lead and I wish she and second male lead never got back together
The confession from ML to FL is still one of the most memorable in dramaland and I loved how their relationship was at first strong ‘bromance’ and developed from there to something romantic, the ML actually fell in love with he FL while still thinking she’s a guy and ofc he was conflicted and scared but still decided eventually to confess and kiss her while thinking she’s a guy, so romantic. Gong yoo was so brave for taking this role! One of the best OTPs in dramaland, this drama felt so raw and realistic despite FL pretending to be a guy. The only OTP from 2007 and earlier in kdrama I actually love. The other kdrama couples from that period was TOO problematic for me
I agree. TPM is one of the most romantic dramas ever made , King Maker can’t even compare to to that masterpiece, at least not when it comes to the romance.
Wow i remember when this series was ongoing everyone seemed To love this / was obsessed about this one! But now the rating here is only 7,6 omg !! The same as s2 (that almost No one seemed to like even when it was currently airing). Can anyone explain to me this Im confused 😅 because of Mew’s behavior or what ? Now i see mostly People commenting how bad / problematic this is! Majority commented how great it is , that the chemistry between Mew and Gulf is one of the best , that the kisses / intimacy / s*x scenes were all so natural etc when this was airing but , now all i see is People just commenting how bad this is.. Why ?
I love this BL! Best one i seen so far 😭❤️ gosh… i hope more korean BLs will have 10 episodes 30 min/each.. i think this is the only one so far ? Or maybe ”to my star 2” too, i dont remembee haha. Anyways love the chemistry between Lim Ji Sub and Oh Jun Taek, so freakin natural !! The kiss in ep 9 between them is one of the best in Kdrama BLs!! So much natural intimacy between them … i think the only korean BLs before this with the same level of natural intimacy is To My Star / Semantic Error …i love this soo much will alwayw have a special place in my heart! I know how it feels like to have mental issues , so this hits me home 😭
I was quite surprised seeing mew, I came across this accidentally in viki and found out the main lead is mew.…
Im not sure but Mew didnt want to do anything with Gulf / BL anymore after Tharntype ended? But then he changed his mind and wanted back to BL to gain popularity again ? Im not sure but if its true , well then it kinda shows how shallow he is .. i wont say more tho because i dont wanna upset anyone and as i Said , i dont know if this is true .
The trailer of the secondary couple make their relationship seem Idk more ”meaty” how to explain , there seems…
Yeah i think the longest korean BL We had so far is The Eighth Sense .. 10 episodes and each episode being around 30 min!! Heck i even think the last ep was 40 min!
6.9 is indeed low. I've watched the first two episodes and have not rated it yet. I normally wait till midway…
Im both a dog and cat person (i have a ragdoll/norwegian Forrest cat , the way he lays when i Carry him is exact that how a ragdoll would do 😂) so yes maybe i give this one a chance …
The trailer of the secondary couple make their relationship seem Idk more ”meaty” how to explain , there seems…
Yeah i commented about that 2 days ago here. That episodes should be longer than 15 min since there are 2 couples. . Hoping it Will be at least 5 min longer per ep , even that will make a little difference 😅
I both want to and not want to read the manhwa .. i’m so curious How the manhwa is but at the same time i want to see this BL with fresh eyes y’know .. not knowing what to expect at all.. Haha the dilemma. Anyone who read the manhwa is there any steamy moments between the main couple and/or secondary couple ??🙈
