Pretty nice and complete GL series overall. If I were to be nitpick:
In the last episode, I have my reservations about how they shift from rejecting Nueng and Anueng's love to acceptance. Wasn't the shift maybe too fast? In one minute granny was hating Nueng, but in the next scene she was all peace and acceptance. Maybe this transition could have been slower?
Ah! Also, how come Nueng's sister (Sam) didn't appear in any of the scenes in the hospital? To support her sister?
Now, this is just a personal preference: creating the last drama scenes with a car accident... I don't really know how to feel about this, so mixed feeling here. Maybe Anueng going to US and meeting again 2 to 3 years later and show all of them all their love are still strong, would have been my personal choice. Sure, other possibilities could have been nicer. Still, they handle it better than I expected.
I thought everything was made clear between them: (1) both said they loved each other eventually in the series (2) Anueng said it was not a proper time for that cause she probably felt like she was taking advantage of Nueng's fragile moments, but BOTH agreed to keep doing it; (3) Anueng was easing Nueng's pain, so why that drama at the end? She did that because of the age gap? If yes I can understand; any other reason would make no sense. Hopefully they come with a valid reason for that.
yoko is a terrible actress. aneung's character behaves like an infant and the show give predatory vibes overall.…
Not fair. Did you watch all episodes? Her acting was very nice specially in the last episodes. And that is how she's supposed to play her character, which means she did a good job.
Also, the overall score here on MDL is 7.8 at the present time of this message, which is not a low score but definitely not overrated.
1st half was enjoyable.2nd half things slows down as it touches in real life issues (moral/ethics) regarding couple…
I feel bad for Yoreum though. We all knew it her love would be platonic. She is cute and I did really enjoy whenever she used her Korean language all of sudden xD
She does not appear nor is mentioned in season 1, so they added her just to make a love triangle and gives a push to Fuyu and Itsuki's relationship.
Now, I was not expecting Yoreum to call Fuyu "best friend"? I was... "what..?" xD I think that was their way to make us feel less bad? To ease her side and make it less worse for her.
1st half was enjoyable. 2nd half things slows down as it touches in real life issues (moral/ethics) regarding couple of women taking care of a child. Consequently, was not as exciting half compared to the 1st half, I found myself bored good amount in the 2nd half.
Season 1 was in general more enjoyable as it kept its excitement higher throughout all episodes.
I have to point and kudo we had a nice closure in this season. Probably one of the best finales coming from Japanese GL. So I would bet a 3rd season is unlikely cause they wrapped up things nicely.
Some people mentioning "Fuyu has feelings now", but she always had since 1st season and there are lots of scenes showing that. So I don't see where people are coming from. But I binge watched both seasons, so maybe those people do not remember season 1 as much or they didn't like it as much. I also didn't feel that characters personality changed.
All in all, a decent series. 1st season was overall more exciting, as 2nd half second season slows down greatly. Altogether I would rate 7/10.
Enjoyed this 1st season more than the 2nd. 1st season kept its excitement throughout the episodes.2nd season first…
Now, in the last episode (episode 8) of this season, I don't know how much of "suki" Fuyu meant when she told Kou that she married him because she "suki" him.
"Suki" usually means "like". But 'like' is a very generic term and you can like/suki your friend or someone you appreciate, for example. Although I know depending on the context, 'suki' can mean like in a romantic way.
Fuyu used "suki", which... well.. it can mean like in a romantic sense or just like as a person.
Now, "Aishiteru" is a strong word in terms of "like", and usually means "deep in love", and Aishiteru was used by both Fuyu and Itsuki in the series, just between them and none else. Extra: Aishiteru might also ne used in other contexts and not necessarily meaning "romantic and strong love". For example: between parents and their children; or even between two best girl friends.
So, Fuyu saying "suki" to Kou didn't bother me much, even if the subs translated to "love" - I am not saying subs were wrong, just that it can have different interpretations.
By the way, there is "daisuki" as well, which makes 'like' stronger. "I like this very much", for example.
Enjoyed this 1st season more than the 2nd. 1st season kept its excitement throughout the episodes.
2nd season first half was enjoyable, but second half starts to get boring even if it touched moral/ethics matters. Although I have to point that at least we had a decent closure in season 2.

1st season you won't find easily on internet. I mean, I just found it on BiliBili (480 p; 720p if you have an account there). However, episode 8 was missing, and I just found it on a website called "febspot". Which is website I didn't know of.
2nd season was easier to find. I watched it on Dailymotion.
Hm, I think it was Okay, I guess. I had higher expectations though. 1st episode showed potential.episodes 2 to…
Aylin and Luna's intimate scenes were super nice in the last episodes and those truly made my heart skip a beat xD Unfortunately, there was just so little as the progression hit its peak just in the last episodes. Would have been nicer to see more of them as they finally (or Aylin, actually) are now more comfortable with each other.
Hm, I think it was Okay, I guess. I had higher expectations though.
1st episode showed potential. episodes 2 to 5 were specially boring due to the very slow pace and how they recycled scenes over and over. 2nd half was better and things gets more interesting, although it ended up just okay as the series was finally reaching its end.
I wasn't expecting Ton's funny scenes to be the ones I would have most fun with xD
In general, it was a very simple GL series, without much story or deep content. Aylin was an unique/special character as all others were pretty normal, and that can be a double-edge sword. That was probably then her "escapism" as she distrusted humans? or just an intense admire to ETs? Maybe I am overthinking.
I like this format of GL though, probably my favorite format. Pluto I enjoyed more, for example. Hormones GL scenes are still my favorites (the build up.. progression and etc), although Hormones is not focused in GL only - still is super worth watching all 3 seasons.
In general I think I'll rate 23.5 a 6.5/10. Still, I would not discourage someone from giving this series a chance. I would say it's worth a try for every GL enthusiast.
Just finished. But the scene that is still here lingering in my mind comes from episode 01... and you probably know which one is it xD I would dare to say that scene was the best/my favorite one from this series.
Also, not gonna lie, after sometime I couldn't help but to anxiously expect the trio to appear on the screen again and again xD They didn't have much screen time, but they had the scenes that would always put a smile on my face ;D
In general, a strong meh/average series. The storyline/drama is very weak and uninspiring.
After some episodes I easily lost interest in the main couple; some times I was catching myself skipping their scenes because I wasn´t caring much about them anymore >.<
I would say that the best moments I had were when Warang and her cute-smol junior (Prang) were interacting with each other. Ah! Luktarn scenes as well xD
I am yet to see again something as good and well done as Hormones.
For those who enjoyed the concept, I really do recommend [That's Cunning! Shijo Saidai no Sakusen (1996)]. It got the same concept, but it´s light-hearted and aims comedy. On the other hand, [Bad Genius] is darker and taken more seriously. Still, both have the same concept and are enjoyable/entertaining ^~^

lol, this was an enjoyable/funny movie I watched on a whim xD 7.5/10 For those who enjoyed the concept, I really do recommend BAD GENIUS (there is a movie and a series - movie in my opinion is overall better, but the series also nice). The difference is that THAT´S CUNNING is easy going (light-hearted), on the other hand BAD GENIUS gotta more of a "darker" atmosphere cause it´s taken more seriously due to the story. Still, both have the same concept and are entertaining.
Hm.. this movie had cool and good action scenes but that was all. If you are into bloody action scenes this is for you. Cool to see, however, that the main character was a woman. After finishing you will feel an emptiness and wondering "that was it?" If could send a message to my past self, I would say to spend these 2 hours in something else xD
Ah! Also, how come Nueng's sister (Sam) didn't appear in any of the scenes in the hospital? To support her sister?

From what I read/heard of, it was not very amicable xD
