AEROROR2

idk if this one is good or bad

As a fan of the HIStory series, this drama is a must watch for me. But whenever I watch it, my feelings will be either happy or annoyed. The reasons are because of its pros and cons I come up with after watching the every episodes.

PROS:
• Good acting from Xeng Si and Li Cheng
• Effective comedy specially because of Li Cheng’s cheerful personality
• Really like the first half of the total episode. From pretending to having real feelings; it is cute and funny
• Personally, the 1 & 0 topic is new for me and I am so entertained on how they keep fighting for the top position

CONS:
• Poor camera angles
• The obsessed brother is so annoying and manipulative. Obsession is very different from love. I like Xeng Si but I just can’t help myself to be happy for their relationship. The story is very similar to the popular yet controversial Addicted Heroine from China. HIStory2: Crossing the Line, also shows step-brother romance into it and I think the franchise are trying to make it romantic but obviously they failed.
• The last few episodes lose the spark or lovely element I felt during the earlier episodes

I do enjoy watching it but I can’t give it a higher rating since there are factors negatively affects my feedback about it.

All out for their songs; grooving vibes and heartwarming lyrics

Slow-paced beginning but actually liven up the mood after a few more episodes. It was a boring start and confusing as well for some reasons, took me too much time to realize the online game setting. Another thing is, the drama implied too much sequence of coincidences like it really make the viewers patience boost.

As a fan of Lin Yi, this drama is a must watch for me but I ended up not liking Lu Jing so much. Lin Yi is an eye candy actor and I really love his expressions. The reasons why I slightly dislike Lu Jing is because he is too bossy and so full of himself towards his roommates and Taro. Plus, he is also disrespectful to Jia Yun. I know his personality is supposed to be cool and cold but I’m really sometimes annoyed with his own action. He likes to look down on some people and I am happy that there is a scene in which he and his closest roommate friend has a conflict regarding the way Lu Jing treat him. Anyways, Lu Jing growth and character develop is a good thing during the last few episodes of the show.

On the other hand, I love Liang Chen’s personality, full of ambition and passion. The struggle on her career for wanting to do her own music and shifting from another genre is my favorite part. I was inspired by this to let my decision varies on my personal choices and not by what others tell me to do.

The love story of the main couple is cute and sweet but I am more into Taro and Shan Shan. The second couple love story is super fun and pure. Aside from them, the cutest boy for me in the show is Gu Fei Ming, he wears such an adorable and fancy smile. His character is also so cute and funny, I just wished that the he has at least few screen time during the last few episodes, I was waiting for him at the end but nothing appeared.

The most enjoyable part of watching this is the serve of amazing songs. It was so much fun hearing it and so loving to read the lyrics. I even downloaded the songs because it is really nice and pleasing to my ears. “Never Stop” and “You Have Me” are my top favorite songs.

Lastly, the best lesson of Love Scenery is that dreams are always been there to keep us going. Your own feelings must come first and be the key to let yourself do the things you wanted to do. No matter how hard for your dream to be a reality, one day, your hard work may pay off and give you the desired satisfaction you keep wishing on.

Cute but painful love story

I'm late watching this.

First of all, I love how cute their characters are and the ost itself is good as well.

I really envy their friendship, set aside the romance, I wished I have a squad like them because it's rare to form friendship that will last until you married or find a job. The names Jiang Chen, Chen Xiaoxi, Wu Bosong, Lin Jingxiao, and Lu yang will always be remembered.

Jiangchen is a cold but smart man who is supportive and helpful to his friends. I love how he manage to be so calm and independent in life.

Xiaoxi, the cute girl who only have Jiangchen in her heart, also implied great character development. From a not-so-good-in-class girl turn out to be a successful animator who follows her dream after all the failures she received. For me, I don't blame Xiaoxi for not choosing Bosong, because as a teen, we really tend to focus on one person and even after she became an adult, I love how honest she is to her feelings.

Wu Bosong on the other hand, is the most caring and selfless character through out the show. He was rejected two times but still keep smiling Everytime he see Xiaoxi.

Lin Jingxiao is the bravest among them. She is a good influencer and explicit the true meaning of friendship.

Lu Yang is the cutest. He is the first friend of Xiaoxi among their squad and he is always been their to support his friends even though he was always playing around. I love his relationship with Jingxiao, thanks goodness they end up marrying together.

The school scenes are my favorite parts of the entire series. I remembered how loveable it is to study together with your friends and create good memories together.

Their university life, is the beginning of entering the life of an adult. Which is also good because it tackles more serious things that mostly happened to everyone.

Overall, I must say that it was indeed a BEAUTIFUL Chinese drama and deserve the recognition it receives. I learned a lot from this.

I hope for whoever is reading this review may also found someone who will continuesly love them the way it should be. Because we are all deserve TO LOVE AND BE LOVED.

Better than the first one

The reason I watched this is because of Moon Bin, Hwiyoung and Won Bin. The three of them didn't disappoint me.

Okay, the thing that I love the most here is the chemistry of Moon Bin and Won Bin's character. They literally give me butterflies in my stomach. I didn't expect that they're chemistry will be on that level.

and yes... I fall in love to Hwiyoung more and more because of his acting here. MOONBIN and HWIYOUNG uplift the show from their sexy postures to their cute speaking voices.

The other cast did well too but doesn't really leaves an impact to me.

From the cons of the show:
- it is really short, I wished to see more.
- for a person who undergo a heart transplant, we can't see any scar on Moonbin's body.
- if only they can make the romance of the side couple more interesting and not about cheating and falso hope love.


Overall, it was really a good webdrama better than the first "The Mermaid Prince" mini series. I enjoyed watching it and took plenty of screenshots most of the time hahaha

Disappointed!

I was so excited when they announce that a season 2 is coming up but when it releases I was really disappointed. First, they change the story of TinCan where in they start from being strangers. Second, I am annoyed by Plan's acting this season and Techno's acting too is so stiff. Third, they focus on TinCan's story but it doesn't have the sparks I feel from the first season, all they did in the last few episodes was to make love duh. Forth, the music is good but it doesn't lifted my positive review from the drama itself. Overall, I am basically giving this a 2/10 rating but then again I reconsider their efforts.

A dark romance that hit as hard as crashing waves, yet felt as gentle as a sea breeze

It is rare for me to enjoy a dark romance in my 20s. Maybe when I was younger, I would enjoy anything as long as it was BL. As time passed by, I began to value quality over quantity and gravitated toward stories that felt more life-affirming rather than villain-driven. Yet this drama has many of the negative aspects I usually avoid, and I still ended up loving it.

Fan Xiao and Shu Lang’s story is truly distinct. They are the embodiment of yin and yang. President Fan, the rich, cold-hearted, and obsessive man, meets the gentle and kind Director You. Cunning is Fan Xiao’s ultimate weapon, and his plans slowly begin to bear fruit when Shu Lang becomes addicted to his “matchstick,” eventually allowing Fan Xiao to take Shu Lang away from Lu Zhen. This is only the beginning of Fan Xiao’s madness.

One of the most beautiful aspects of this drama is its title, To My Shore. It reflects love, comfort, and Fan Xiao’s reason for living, having Shu Lang by his side. After Fan Xiao’s traumatic experience with a tsunami, which led to his mother’s death, he bumped into SHu Lang, who became his source of comfort. Ironically, Fan Xiao later becomes the storm that disrupts Shu Lang’s once-peaceful life.

Shu Lang has his own tragic backstory: being orphaned, adopted, bullied, losing his adoptive mother, raising an ungrateful stepbrother, and building his life and title from nothing with no one by his side. Despite all of this, Shu lang grows into a fine man with a heart of gold. I would do everything to protect him.

And then there’s the King of Manipulation himself, Fan Xiao. It was devastating when Shu Lang discovered that his boyfriend was the mastermind behind everything that had gone wrong in his life. The scene where Shu Lang cries alone in his bedroom while Fan Xiao and Lu Zhen stand outside was absolutely heartbreaking. From that point on, misfortunes keep crashing down on Shu Lang, all planned and planted by Fan Xiao.

But this is a dark romance. And for a dark romance to work, it must be carried by talented actors, and this one absolutely succeeds. I was deeply invested in every single episode, thanks to the powerful performances of Hao Yi Ran and Yun Qi. They truly brought Shu Lang and Fan Xiao to life. Their emotional delivery was always on point.

Fan Xiao’s redemption arc was a chef’s kiss. Watching him completely fall apart after Shu Lang left was painful yet satisfying. He paid the price for everything he did and genuinely regretted his actions. I’m glad I stayed until the end, because after witnessing all the evil he committed, forgiving him was not easy, especially from Shu Lang’s perspective. Still, the story’s progression made it feel earned.

This drama does not romanticize toxic relations. Instead, it explores giving someone a chance after genuine growth and change. That said, forgiveness is never easy, and it is also okay not to forgive. What matters most is choosing what brings peace, making decisions that align with both your heart and your mind.

What a beautiful set of casts

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!

My dear MeenPing has the chemistry but not consistency

It is my second drama wherein Meen and Ping are the paired couple, and as expected, both of them still have the chemistry that wins the audience to continue consuming their show. When Ping’s character was introduced, I was in awe of how cute this man is. His acting may be totally below average when it comes to heave scenes but whenever he has a youthful and joyful mood, the whole scenes are just like a ray of sunshine full of fluffiness and majestic smiles.

In this drama, they gave a second lead syndrome in which, Whal played by Winner, absolutely caught my attention to the next level. This guy is a total hottie and at the same time a softie. I can’t blame Guy for falling in love with his best friend Whal as this man knows how to take good care of someone by showering them with utmost care and attention.

Another thing that ticks my attentiveness is the unexpected pairing of the mafia assistants. I must say that I love how they shaped the non-toxic masculinity with Tul’s character, who seems manly and macho.

However, I noticed that MeenPing drama is great during their first few episodes but not that consistent as I felt a little bored during the last few episodes. I also experienced this kind of emotion during their first major acting as a pair and maybe it was their acting or the storyline that gets too draggy at the end.

Nevertheless, I can’t hide the fact that I have a good time watching the show and despite the flaws it has, the drama itself managed to be an average BL one for me.

Positive multiplied by Negative is equal to Negative

Each show has its own pros and cons, some overcome it but some don't. Just like how Plus & Minus started up in a good run but began to stumble in the middle and failed to re-sprint in a recovery state.

A BL roaming around the field of law is quite fresh yet the storyline ruins the chance of it to be unique and memorable. The vibe has a lot of similarities to the previous BLs I’ve watched such as Beloved in House: I Do and HIStory 4: Close to you, that loses the spark of the show to cater its own impact. Nevertheless, one thing I’m grateful for this show is by reuniting some of the prominent characters from the other famous Taiwan BLs. Seeing them made me reminisce about their own story from their respective shows.

Connecting the title to the two couples, I must say that Plus goes to the main one and the Minus goes to the second pair. The lack of chemistry between the side couple and the nuisance acting along with the baby girl is a cringe. I skipped their scenes since it mostly distributes an uninteresting flow of story.

Fortunately, the main couple saves it but it isn't enough to save the whole show. That accidental kiss on the sofa was the only romantic scene I adore from them and the rest are pure plainness. The downfall of the show starts on EP07, all episodes prior to this one are good ones. Then I began to get really bored of the later episodes. Nevertheless, the finale was fine. Helding a wedding ceremony is a good execution not only for romance but also for showcasing the legalization of same sex marriage to their country, Taiwan.

Ending this with a positive statement that the Plus and Minus pendant is so cute!

The goodness in cliches only works during the first half of the show

A fun and quirky drama who got lost on its own pace. The show begins with a great execution of typical scenes that doesn’t feel bad at all. However, after EP07, I began to feel bored till the story ended and that boredness still hangs all over me. I did enjoy the whole flow of the story before the main couple officially became a real couple. It was a perfect performance for a light rom-com drama -cute and entertaining. They cast suitable actors to portray the fluffy element of the story. I’ve seen these main characters during their early years of their career and I am so proud that lately they are getting major roles that highlight their talent in acting.

The glimpse of bromance were some moments to savor, it was amusing and delightful. The friendship of the two women was solid and fantastic. Both of the couple have an undeniably fine amount of chemistry, enough to send me butterflies. That sizzling and passionate kissing scene from the second couple was hot and commendable. On the other hand, the development of the main couple from being innocent to slowly getting intimate was good too. Aside from visuals, I’m glad that all of the cast in this drama can perform a natural way of acting.

However, the last few episodes are when I started to feel bored, which explains the downfall of the show for me. After they became boyfriends & girlfriends, the fun was lessened and the flow of scenes weren’t consistently good. It feels like their love story is being overromanticized in a bad way. The cliches of various sequences of romantic ideas aren’t that strong to curve a smile on my face. Till the end, I lost the passionate interest while watching the episodes. Too sad that it came to this but still A Business Proposal was a rom-com drama that is worthy of your time to binge-watch.

Kim Young Kwang’s butt

It is weird. Yes, in a negative way. At first, I kind of feel amazed at how creepy they tried to showcase the storyline, Yet, as it went on, I kind of feel icky about most of the scenes and tend to feel bored from time to time.

The only entertaining thing that the drama has to offer to me is seeing Kim Young Kwang giving his best in nailing a daring role. Full nude scenes are too good for such a popular actor like him. He is indeed a professional. Those intimidates scenes are actually the sole reason why the show is not perfectly bad. They nailed every sex scene with no too much work in camera angles and show us how thirsty the characters are in terms of sex.

Failed to end the story

In the first few episodes, I was so impressed with the story, cinematography, and acting. But on the last two episodes, I feel bored at all.

The letter which was the start of everything just vanished in the end. I don't really like the attitude of Nam Do San and one of his friend (the vlogger). Tbh, I really wanted to skip all of their scenes because it makes me cringe so hard. But I can't because I am looking forward for the next scenes coming.

The story was a fresh breath of air for a K-Drama fan like me who watched too many genres.

The writer did dirty to Hang Just Pyeong, who beat the main couple and steal the hearts of the viewers. Why did they start from creating a Han Ji Pyeong who always been good to Dal Mi. Unlike Do San, who's a cry baby, Ji Pyeong should be the one that Dal Mi chose.

That's it, I was just frustrated in the end and by Nam Do San's character but overall, I enjoy watching this drama.

OST's are sooooooo good!! I love it

Hioki and Watarai, joining the list of most notable J-BL characters

I love everything about this show! This is super duper cute, and the whole ten episodes consistently feel so great. Even before airing, based on the promotion and teasers, I knew that this would be another J-BL masterpiece. They didn’t disappoint. I’ve already fallen in love since the beginning. The chemistry is top-notch!

Taking inspiration from a popular “F4 concept,” focusing on BL without the touch of any form of bullying. It leads to my whole watching experience to be calm and touching. Watarai’s romantic scenes were so smooth, and I love a green flag man. Hioki, on the other hand, is the epitome of cuteness. Everything he does spells C.U.T.E. My baby is surrounded by love, and I am so proud of him.

One of the most beautiful plots from this drama is how Hioki found his people from his new class. He started being an introvert with no classmates as friends to hang out with, but thanks to the school trip, he met the four heavenly kings, who then became his squad afterwards. I remembered how exciting the scene of Hioki and Watarai sharing a bed in the hotel was.

Hioki’s inner dialogue is always so entertaining. His small panics when Watarai are directing to show him his love were so funny. The confession scene at the beach was also one of my favourites. Isn’t it just so romantic to open up your feelings with the soothing breeze of sea air?

Then, Watarai hugging Hioki behind the gymnasium curtains was also a highlight. They have so many scenes that are unforgettable and have created an impact on the viewers. And that kiss at the finale? Oh well, they served pretty well. Love it so much!

The overall feelings are so positive, and it is obvious that I enjoyed the series so much. There’s not too much drama involved here, just two young men who are slowly falling in love with one another. A school series done right, and they made it even more special for BL-fans.

Hioki and Watarai, you’ll always be special characters in my heart. I love you both!

Happy for the sequel, but there’s nothing really special about it

I miss them. The prequel was lighter and tender compared to this sequel. It is more focused on the deeper connection between the couple’s individuality and their love for their craft. They went outside the box of delivering a trope of two celebrities getting caught dating by the public. This is commendable; however, the scenarios were too slow, which created a gap between the couple.

What happened to my dear Shirasaki? I have adored him from the first season, but he suddenly felt too focused on himself. I understand that it is one of his flaws when he is being driven by his role. I feel pity for Hayama too. Living under one roof but being separated by their own rules was painful. The couple just needs to communicate and comprehend each other more often. The most disappointing part is that we have fewer romantic scenes in their dating era compared to their flirting era.

The additional character in the story was unexpectedly weak. I love his backstory of losing his roles to Shirasaki, but I know they can create a way better spice-up challenge for the couple. Despite the disappointments, I still enjoyed this show on an average level. The confirmation of the side couple having their own sequel was the cherry on top. The OSTs and the arrangement of the opening were the best too.

Odajima’s unexpected journey of finding a new reason to live on

Such a classy and perfectly crafted show. And hey, it’s a Yakuza-themed BL! This show explores the uncanny life of a boy born into a family where incest is forced. This eventually became his sole reason for not valuing his own life. A few years later, he found another family through the presence of his best friend, Asahi. Who then died by protecting the young Yakuza leader and his role model. The emotional buildup for Odajima was impressive.

I was expecting it to be more chaotic, but it turned out to be gentle yet endearing. Kataoka brings color to Odajima’s grey and sullen life. I just love it every time Kataoka calls him his ‘beloved wife.’ Their chemistry is top-notch! And their intimate scenes were so sizzling hot that the car scene at the finale was magnificent. Also important to mention that all the casts are so handsome! Eye-candy visuals.

This might be short with just a few EPs, but ultimately enough to satisfy my BL-heart. Them wearing a Hawaiian shirt on an island during the ending was so beautiful. The color yellow shirt signifies joy and happiness, which the two were finally able to reach together, ending the show with such a lovely kiss!

The opening OST was so appealing in both visual and audio elements. It also has the right balance of comedy, romance, and drama, which makes the series more entertaining. Absolutely love it, and I want to see more from the main couple starring in a new drama or a possible sequel.
