Damn. Baabin’s story hurts the most. I love his enthusiasm for the little to big things that made him like Fou4Mod. The boy sacrifices his commute time to attend his favorite group’s concert and many more. Unfortunately, his love was never reciprocated. I’m just hoping for his happy ending.
Just finished the first episode and all I can say is that this is so interesting. The set of casts is all so beautiful but Sunghyeon is the prettiest. I love his smiles the most. In terms of story, it was rare for an MC to have not just one, not two, but three love interests. I’m curious how each of them fights for their way to the MC’s heart. But so far, I love the office workers' romance and look forward to more from them.
I love the sequence of scenes and the way they are told. The monkey and the dog scene was so great. I also like that they did not romanticize cheating and showcase the consequences of it for those people affected by it. Overall, it was good so 8.5 over 10. SKY IS SO HANDSOME!! SO MUCH
Once again, we have another Japanese BL with an uncommon fictional story but with realistic settings. They have their genre that no other BL-producing country can top. I remember how excited I was when this was announced with Ito Asahi as the main lead. Hiroki also thrilled me since he starred in another BL show. The set of casts is so pretty but the MVP of the show must be no other than, Jun Muto. His manliness fits his role as a kind corporate man. He is gentle, calm, and kind. I was even shocked to know that he is also an idol. He can be cute and handsome at the same time. His acting skills were also outstanding.
I’ve seen similar shows with the same email conversation setup but this show has more spice. They both have partners who refused to have sex with them and the context of their emails is just pure honesty since they didn’t know each other personally. Most viewers will agree that the best episode of the drama has to be when they finally recognize each other after seeing the female wooden statue in an uncrowded museum. The cinematography and execution were super romantic!
As mentioned in the show, the proverb from its title means that misfortunes happen simultaneously. This applies to both of their struggles to reawaken the spirit of love from their respective pair. The tension even became higher when Hagiwara directly said that he wanted to have sex with Nakarai, and Sei just casually agreed with him. It was not the best intimate scenes I’ve watched but made my whole attention focus on them due to their sexiness and the context of their characters’ story.
Cheating and the messy ride of waves from the four of them. This was a roller coaster of dwelling on emotions and anticipating the outcomes of their actions. In the end, Kaori and Hagiwara decided to break up and I love how well-written their conversation was at the cafe. The same goes with Fujisawa and Sei who manage to release their real feelings and realization after a serious communication.
I love the overall aspects of this high-quality BL. The real-life situations can indicate that people are lustful but we do not romanticize an act of cheating. The same goes for how some people have their own choices of not having to rely on sex to satisfy their desires. The aftermath leads them to walk where their hearts are happy to go and leave their unmoveable current situation.
Sei and Kazuaki being together at the end was a happy ending. After all, these two satisfy their needs, not just in sex, but most importantly from the constant love that they were thirsty to acquire from their previous relationship. The rain does not always signify sadness.
This is getting cuter every single EP. Ji Woo and Deok Won having the same dream of kissing each other was hilarious, all thanks to their adorable reactions. Deok Won liking and commenting on every interview video of Ji Woo was just too lovable. The second couple also sparks chemistry! The captain is so sexy.
So this is a cycle of who fell harder and doing everything in an act of jealousy. Fou4Mod and Chian are perfect for each other as they embody red flags. No status is still a status but I hope the other two characters remain sane and do not go low just like the two MCs. I forgot that they’re still teenagers in the story but I’m hoping for a good character development in the next episodes. The new-gen way of flirting, using playlist collaboration on Spotify, was cool. And also posting a random story to be seen by a specific target audience relatable. The burst shots and poses are hilarious.
I admire the creative aspects of the director but obviously, shooting every scene with an iPhone has its cons. The duration time of each framing is taking too long. It will work for a mini-series but now with a drama with an episode that is more than an hour to finish. My experience from watching this was tiring.
As always, Chinese dramas excel in producing high-quality projects based on supernatural concepts with the touch of their culture and history. This is one of the best series I’ve watched in Wuxia’s category. Alongside the masterpieces such as The Untamed, Word of Honor, Heaven Official’s Blessing, etc. The unique thing about this show is how they set up the story in the modern world. I highly applaud the production staff for presenting extraordinary editing and visual effects. The variety of introducing numerous superpowers was cool and pleasant, all thanks to the smooth delivery of the CGI.
The 100th Outsiders Martial Arts Contest was such an anime peak tournament level. The fight scenes, bonds, and the clash of powers were just always the cherry on top within the show. This arc also has my favorite episode. The battle round between Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing. These two sorcerer magic users engaged in an astonishing duel plus the epic animation quality keeps me in my seat so tightly. Both actors are so handsome too that I can’t help but ship them. The camp night out during the middle of the tournament was so cute. I believed that it was the root of their friendships.
My favorite thing about these kinds of dramas is the diversity of groups that they can offer to the audience. We have different sects, clans, families, and sub-groups that provide additional spice to the conflicts. The notable ones are the NTD express, four crazies of sinister pleasure, ten elders, all-encompassing guilds, and the 36 thieves.
Yet, no one can top the major grouping that the show has which is the eight supremes. In this season, we were only introduced to five of these powerful abilities; the Qi Apotheosis, Qimen Manipulation, Dispatch of Detained Spirit, Infinite Heavenly Talisman, and the Double Quan Palm. All are high-powered techniques that we got to see a glimpse of their abilities.
Double Quan Palm was the only technique that was explained to us in detail. It was a creepy magic that allowed the user to control memories by removing, altering, and transferring them to another person. It can also have the ability to regenerate broken parts of the body.
The main point that I admired about the characters is how the oldies believed that the youth are now the savers of the present while supporting them from the side. In the finale episode, we got to see the four new-gen individuals, aside from the MC, who helped him defeat the creator of the double quan palm technique. Some points during the last episode were not explained well but I know they will tackle it in the sequel. Qi Apotheosis is such a broken ability and I am excited to see more from the endpoint of all Qi techniques.
While watching this, I am either laughing, amazed, or crying. The comedy was good as an entertainment but the tragic story was too painful. Even though I watched this two years after the release date, I am still happy that I will not have to wait more longer to see the sequel that was just ended recently as well. That’s all I can say and catch you up in another review after I complete the second season of this well-written fiction.
The aesthetics is giving! I like how they utilized colorful designs, accessories, stickers, nails, bags, pins, etc. Even the OST is pleasing, as expected to BUS. The story revolves around modern flirting between teenagers and New is just too cute here. Is it true that this was shot with an iPhone alone? The camera setup mostly focuses on long-distance shots and exceeds the 3-second rule per sequence but still manages to be fine. It has the characters' complications, and I want to know more from them in the next EPs
Thame’s jealousy towards everything related to Po’s ex is on another level hahaha. But well, they’re both hungry for those kisses and finally, we entered their boyfriend era
So that title is a proverb that means, misfortunes happen simultaneously. This leads us to the expected plot from EP05. Bro didn’t even stutter when he directly said, “I wanna have sex with you, Mr. Nakarai.” And the other bro just casually agreed to it. They cheated and the tension is high. From the cliff-hanging scene, we’re finally able to reach the miserable rides from the four of them
Worth the wait. Despite the usual script and university cliche, this BL became successful all thanks to the cuteness of the actors. Everyone is adorable, and combining them in one project is wholesome. It’s not a perfect 10 out of 10, but I have fun every week. Even the set of OSTs is top-tier. I’ve been grooving for the OP song ever since I heard it from the first EP.
There are times that the consistency weakened due to some stumbled EPs but there are still plenty of scenes that boosted the overall impact of the show. And I am wrapping up my favorite EPs to share how these became the highlight of the series. On EP06, we got the beach EP. A breath of fresh air from the school-based setup. The ThomasKong first kissing scenes were addictively great. It got even spicier from the back-to-back-to-back love progress from the three couples on EP08. PorTeetee steals the spotlight despite their minimal screen time. The heated argument from AuauSave on EP09 was epic. These two know how to act according to their characters and it was smoothly being transitioned to the audience.
There are two things I don’t like about the show. First is the unnecessary backstory of Oh after accepting the rejection from Teerak. The second and most annoying character is Teerak’s father. I can’t help but get mad at him even after accepting his son’s relationship with a man. The hate for Teerak’s cringe childish-like acts is understandable, but it was not that extremely bad.
I don’t think that I can enjoy this show if played by different actors. ThomasKong has innocent vibes but are skillful when it comes to delivering an intimate scene. AuauSave’s dog-and-cat relationship are making the entertainment value more fun. PorTeetee was just the cutest without even trying to be cute. These three pairs performed well and unleashed their chemistry with ease. It feels like this is a trilogy drama and if a sequel is possible, it might be under Lee and Ghlai as the main characters. I want more scenes from them!
This is so good. Chill story and the characters are starting to get more lovable. I love it when the MCs are smiling happily and being talkative to each other.
Promising start but has complex and overexposed sequences
With the university-based concept, I almost didn’t care about the show. However, since it has well-known talented actors, I decided to binge-watch it and somehow didn’t disappoint (at some point). Characters were introduced smoothly and we were served with multiple pairings, which have pros and cons.
Hill and Easter were loveable until they were the highlight of a few consistent episodes. This will sooner become the flow of each pair and it’s kind of draining to see one couple if we have a few couples that can slowly show us each of their love progress. Due to this, it feels like the other pair is underutilized which badly led me to fast-forward the scenes from Hill and Easter, which will also happen to Johan and North after a few EPs.
But don’t get me wrong, Johan and North’s story saves the show. It makes me blush and giggle. But still not enough to completely uplift the obvious flaws of the drama. Writing this review, I am fully aware that the rest of the couples’ story is about to unfold in the sequel but I pity the opportunity to launch their chemistry in this show.
And now, let’s talk about my favorite part of this BL. The side couple, Tiger and Nao, devoured the MCs. They should also be in the official poster as their chemistry is top-notch. The minimal screen time wasn’t a big deal as they turned it into their absolute best. I am always eager to see more from them on each EP.
With the seventeen EPs, the overall impact was just average. But I can’t deny the fact that I enjoy both HillTer and JohanNorth at the start of their storyline. They may not have a unique plot or overflowing chemistry, but they still performed pretty well for a BL show. Looking forward to more of the other pairs in the sequel and I hope they turn these flaws into lessons to apply in the upcoming project.
EP08. Our soft-spoken couple finally stepped up and it all thanks to Jun by pushing Thame to be more courageous in his relationship. The confrontation through their favorite hobby, the arcade game, was creative. JunPo, you will be missed. Thank you for the short screen time for chemistry. I love it when the audience can feel the tension between the pair. The last scene was too hilarious and exciting. The way Po nervously gulped was the icing on that scene.
