Showcasing the A-B-O Universe was a fresh concept for me. I find myself entertained and learn new things with this creative approach of pairing, or what is known as mating in their world. I love Gao Tu, and I am always looking forward to his story every single EPs. Even though there are EPs wherein he has minimal to no exposure, I hold to the drama solely because of him. Li Pei En is so handsome and the most charming actor from the cast. I was mesmerized by his beauty.
As someone who hardly kept his Beta-identity for all those years, simply because Shen Wen Lang hated Omega, it was a very fascinating dedication to stay by the side of his crush, even though he thought that it was one-sided. I am always thirsty between Gao Tu and Shen Wen Lang’s scenes, and the production never failed to disappoint me until the finale. That was the end? It was obviously rushed, without a proper conclusion, for my best boy, Gao Tu, and when Shen Wen Lang was finally able to hug him for the first time in eternity, with their child witnessing the dramatic reunion.
For the sake of Gao Tu and Shen Wen Lang, I stayed. Not gonna say anything with other characters as I just come to the point to not mind them at all. I wasn’t a fan of the main couple’s story; every person has their subjective reasoning and avoids pushing others to like something that they don’t like.
Wow. I didn’t expect that this drama would be that good. Upon reading the synopsis, it kind of sounds cliché. However, after watching the show, I never felt bored or unsatisfied. The short time duration per EP might help for a quick binge-watch, but also make me want to watch more. It has the potential for a long run, yet the outcome of the show was enough to give it a high rating.
The story does not focus on too many dramatic values revolving around Vampires. I love that they utilize it to establish a nice plot for the main character to create an impact on the usual routine of the blood-sucker men. Interesting trivia I learned from this show is that Vampires can be half-human too, as well as, there’s a weight requirement for them to consume human blood.
All of the casts are looking so handsome and charismatic. A bunch of eye candy actors who actually performed well in their respective roles. Lee Ju Won and Han Dong Ha’s chemistry was top-notch, too. I’m such a big fan of the enemy-turned-lovers trope, and having one tsundere paired to a cutie is such a vibe. Their first Seoul night date was the time I fell in love with the pairing. They also wear very stylish clothing during this EP, which made them even more handsome. The kissing scenes at the campfire EP and library during the finale were my favorites!
The thing that shocked me about the show’s plot is that Lee Ju Won is the center of a love rivalry between the human Han Dong Ha and versus Vampire best friend Lee Tae Hyung. That was an unexpected twist, and I am loving the way they close the second lead’s romantic feelings. His aura was also a notable element in the show.
I love the execution of the story, character development, and a sense of a not rushed ending. The overall experience of this K-BL was fun. It may be short, but it actually carries out the goal of entertaining and leaving a mark on the viewers’ POV.
The emotional buildup for Odajima is impressive. From having a sorrowful background family that he has killed as his father is inhumane, and his mother/older sister wished to be dead. having no one by his side after his best friend's death. I love how he finally gets to live again and experience life with Kataoka, who genuinely and eventually nourishes Odajima's dying soul.
they're back!! I love how open and intimate they are now with one another. I'm also anticipating what challenges they are going to face from this sequel.
Embodying their on-screen characters’ story into their own
Lovely! At first, I was expecting a spicy and intimate kind of relationship. But it turned out even better. A polar opposite pairing of a popular model-turned-actor and a very direct rookie actor. Their fake-to-real dating story was entertaining and interesting.
What I love the most about this drama is how respectful Asami is towards Shirasaki. It makes his quiet personality more charming. He always lends a helping hand to Shirasaki to the best of his ability. The scene when Asami comfortably cuddles Shirasaki and asks for the things he likes was super cute.
Shirasaki is getting the fame he deserves after the notable confession scene was commendable. The drama does not offer much drama outside the story of the couple. They focus more on the angst and how both character will slowly connects. Yet, the addition of a new character, Kazuma, indeed makes the tension more exciting. I’m such a big fan of jealous scenes where we can see more cute sides of the couple.
The opening song was so good. I perfectly admire how they edited the whole introduction with a simple yet cinematic bunch of photos from the two. We also got a special EPs during the university days of Asami, wherein we witness how he fell in love first with Shirasaki. The throwback scenes were a nice addition to emphasize the feelings and pure intentions of Asami.
I actually like the pacing of the story, even though it took them too long to open up and embrace their feelings for one another. It is part of them reuniting after a few years, taking note that they didn’t even become close in the past. The walls have always been built for someone we are not yet close to, except for extroverts, in which both Asami and Shirasaki are definitely introverts. I feel so light and happy watching the show. Yes, some elements need more polishing, but the important thing that matters the most is the overall emotion you felt by watching it every single EPs.
Honestly, I think the majority of us can agree that them clearing up all the games from the second season was already a great conclusion to the story. Yet, knowing that a Joker card does exist in all card decks, I am loving the way they utilized this as the final season of the franchise. Do they manage to pull up a good season? Yes, but compared to the prequels, this season was obviously the weakest. Still, we can’t deny the fact that they showcase another banger story; however, with less impact on the viewers.
The one thing that I hated the most about this show is how all the survivors from the games lose their memories when they come back from the real world. As a viewer, I wanted them to be reunited with the memories of them all fighting for their lives inside the game, and creating new memories living their second lives in the real world. This is also the reason why the rulers managed to bring back old players to participate in a rematch game of survival under the Joker games.
We only have very limited games this season, but they are more than enough to carry out a dramatic and creative execution of stories. Meeting new players and alliances, Arisu once again led the team with his compassionate and strategic mind with enhancing the capabilities of his teammates. As in the previous seasons, Arisu will never survive without the help of other players.
Here is my ranking of the games from toughest to weakest presentation.
Semi-final game: Kick the Can With a limit of ten chances to survive, this is a team fight with straightforward instructions that involves speed and power. It became a relay game for everyone. This is the game where they showcase how Arisu and his alliances deeply bonded over the short amount of time they shared from the previous games. At the end, they managed to survive, with three teammates unfortunately died.
Second game: Zombie Hunt A card game with the twist of zombie, shotgun, and vaccine. Inside the Institute of Virus Research facility, players must survive by either becoming a zombie or healing others back to their humanity. It is a cool twist that needs a clever way of convincing other players. Arisu being a zombie since the beginning was good, but it needed to present more context after the revelation.
First game: Fortune of Luck This may seem so basic at first, but this tested the players’ intellectual strength. Solving scenarios and equations that involve actual numbers in a limited time was such pressure for everyone. Knowing that a random fire of arrows may strike out depending on the margin of errors was truly terrifying.
Semi-final game: Tokyo Bingo Tower Endurance, balance, and tough strength until hitting the bingo. It was fine that players needed to climb up the Tokyo tower and hit the button all around the corner, but I feel like the metal balls falling from the sky were so random. We don’t even see them when Usagi is climbing the peak of the tower.
Third game: Runaway Train This is a game where Arisu and Usagi finally get a glimpse of each other, with such a dramatic train situation. Yet the game itself was tough luck, and you needed to think outside the box or literally think outside the train. Stay, and you will breathe poison gas.
Final game: Possible Futures Nah. This game was kind of a meh for me. I was expecting a full-blown championship game. But similar to the last game they played before, this is a game of testing one’s desire and temptation in securing his own future. The take from this game is that an alternate reality was too much of an option if you think about the logical reasoning to at least survive the game. Hailing Arisu as the winner was kind of breaking the game's rule that they set for the players, since the rest of the players were finally able to exit from the digital double rooms. Taking place in Shibuya was too amusing.
Side game: Dodging Lasers Intense yet feels too much for the wheelchair man manages to survive this with the help of Usagi and the people he used as a human shield.
Think. Think. Think. As Arisu always says when he faces an oddly life-and-death situation. The games are the major charm of this series. But the players themselves are the reason why the audience loves the show. Ending the finale season with Arisu interviewing all past players we fell in love with from the prequel seasons was heartwarming. Everyone is living their life to the fullest. Such a nice way to finally conclude the franchise.
My wishful thinking is that Arisu and Usagi celebrated the birth of their first child with the presence of all the people that they met as co-players inside the alternate world. With them having the memories from the past and securing their futures in the real world with the support of everyone.
Wow! The first EP was such a thrilling and fun introduction to the story. A Yakuza BL was such a treat. The actors are all so good-looking. And the R-18 scenes were probably good as a startup to the show.
Has the visuals, but hope they can show us better story pacing
As expected for a Korean BL, the visuals are serving! All four of them are considered to be handsome. However, my favorite among them is the cousin of the MC, manager Ji Kyu Sung, also known as Hong Jun in real life. He can be manly and cute at the same time. I also love his character here. I just wish the second couple had more screen time and story, because their story and chemistry are equal to or greater than the main couple.
The story of a fanboy and a fan being together at the end sounds like a cliché. But in this show, I was invested in the plot twist that also became a double-edged sword for the main couple. I enjoyed the early days of flirting and slowly falling in love with the revelation that the idol star has its own motive for approaching Ae Jun.
Which also leads me to be disappointed in how they resolved this issue. It seems so fast, and the scenes were not convincing enough. I liked that they let Si Yeol hurt a little longer for what he deserved for betraying Ae Jun. But his character was just total trash when he tried to reconcile with the teacher without apologizing first. Also, Ae Jun forgiving him immediately after showing his room full of posters of his face seems unexciting and not well-written.
It is pretty enjoyable BL with a light story and an eye-candy set of cast. However, we can just disregard the lack of creative writing of the storyline, especially since the plot has the potential to be presented more entertainingly and reasonably. Nevertheless, I still had a great time watching this show.
A story of fighting for freedom from capitalism, corruption, and life in general. This gives such a powerful message to the audience: the deep and meaningful reference to real-life situations where politics can destroy the lives of its people. As a viewer, I can sense the authenticity that the show aims to convey. They nailed and devoured the concept. The thing I love the most about this series is the way they wanted us to be more engaged and aware of the government system and how the public deserves the right leaders in society.
It keeps on shining every single EP. Everyone is smoking in this show, which connects to how stressed the characters are in the story. The protesters, who were composed of the students, versus the government army, was such a powerful scene. Victor might have left the world, but his strong will remains in the souls of everyone. Trin and Tanwa having a good ending was the silver lining after such a depressing conclusion to the rest of the characters.
Here comes my favorite part, the love story between Krailert and Naran. Two kind-hearted lovers who were divided by social responsibilities and the path they had chosen in life. Son Yuke was the main reason why I decided to watch the show. This is my first time watching him, and I am already invested in every single scene he has. I got enchanted by his handsome face, sexy posture, and manly physique, especially in that police uniform.
Going back to the story, the Colonel and Naran both love to write and eventually got to fell in love with each other. I was shocked by how great their story was. It feels like they are the main couple here more than MileApo. It is so damn romantic how they incorporate the '90s setting and use the library as to exchange of communication for these two. The chemistry and tension are top-notch!
Way to go with such a very very great execution of intimate scenes. I was in awe of how professional Son Yuke and Euro were during these shots. It was so hot and really brought out all the flavor of the fantasy I wanted to feel from their romance. Klai Rung and Sarasawadee being the whole city’s couple of the year was such a treat.
It is so obvious that Krailert and Naran will not end up together. Yet, the thing that shocked me the most is that all this time, Dhevi is the mastermind to possessed Krailert all by herself. This girl does the most unexpected evil things against Krailert. At the end, she wins and even bears a child from him.
“Some things do not need to be spoken aloud. Some answers are better left quiet, unannounced, because we already know them, deep down.” I am crying the whole time listening to Naran’s last message to Krailert before his last appearance in the finale. As Krailert said to Trin, he has chosen this path and has to face the consequences. That was a good cry from this couple. I still love them from my heart.
Aside from all of these, I would also like to mention that the set of OSTs is all so beautiful. I love it so much as far as I love the exposure of their butts and muscles. The fight for democracy is still growing in the real world. I want to thank everyone behind this amazing show for compiling an eventful and timely story for the world to consume and see for themselves.
A historical love story of two princes-turned-kings and how they continue to love each other despite their complicated title as rulers. Both of their background stories were saddening; Shu He lost his mother, and Zi Ang lost his entire clan except for his brother. A few years later, they meet each other, and the beginning of lies and deceptions. I love the chemistry and build-up of their characters in every single EPs.
I just wish to see more martial arts scenes without the basic sword fights. Yet, I fully understand that they are more focused on the story rather than the fight scenes. The crown prince's role is too hateful, especially when he is the reason why the sixth prince's fingers were badly injured and stopped him from playing the arts anymore. Politics can corrupt one’s mind and turn their roots to evil.
The way I was flabbergasted by their first kiss in the middle of arguing was too memorable. No more China’s bromance and BL-censorship, we win. EP08 was probably one of my favorite endings from the show. The time when they realized that their royal status was a hindrance to their relationship and decided to let go.
Eventually, both of them became ruler of their respective nations. This is the most exciting yet traumatizing part. The show’s title, “Kill to Love,” is extremely presented when Zi Ang annihilated Shu He’s kingdom, then holding him like a caged bird. His obsession with being reunited with Shu He is the only thing that matters to him the most. Building a replica of the sixth prince’s residences was actually so romantic.
At the end, Xiao Shu He chose to die, with Duan Zi Ang embracing him and then following him to the afterlife eventually. A tragic ending, yet a very reasonable one for such a complex love story. Both of them died at the end, but at least they were finally able to rest peacefully from the chaotic world of power and desires.
Showcasing the A-B-O Universe was a fresh concept for me. I find myself entertained and learn new things with this creative approach of pairing, or what is known as mating in their world.
