Speechless-ly good!
Just WOW! It hits every spot, seriously. The plot, acting, storyline, pacing, execution are all amazing.No scene is wasted. Every part is needed to make up the whole storyline, whether its the sad scene or the s*x scene or everything in between. It's not your typical fluffy BL- yes- it does have cute romantic sweet moments, but there's more to it
It is really raw and deep- really touched me on heart level. I must say the acting plays a big role- I can feel the expression of the actors done really well.
I really love Ko Yeong and Gun Ho chemistry so much- but it is what it is, I guess.I hope for a S2 or spin-off where I get to see KO Yeong finally fulfil his deepest wish of Sa Rang.
Bonus point for showing us how Kylie affect his life- hence, promoting safe sex indirectly

I finally got my "Mew" dose!
If you can't stand Mew speaking Thai while the rest speak in Korean, then skip this show now, so you don't end up whining lolI'm solely here for Mew and I don't regret it. I've missed Mew since TharnType and this is the one show I see him again after so long. Boy, I miss that smile, that charming look and all of Mew.
Besides Mew, I do like the other co-star as well, especially JM and the vet (except for the baddies)
It's not the best BL out there but it really isn't that bad, really.
Plus, the title gives it all! You can pretty much know the show is gonna be somewhat shallow, fluffy and lighthearted from the title. So, don't expect more than that and just enjoy the show.
If you're someone who's looking for that perfect show that nails every aspect, then get out of this show. If you just want something nice to watch before sleep to unwind, then you are in for little treat

Season 3 please!?
Althou I doubt there'll be S3, I'll gladly be open to that possibility!Personally, I'm disappointed that DoJin died. Although I am happy at how they wrap up his death, I watch this show because of him! So, this is the one disappointnment I have. I also feel that the romance could be better. I am not very excited about the romance between ML and FL. I usually am the one who ship the couple, but not this one. I guess, I must have been on team Dojin lol...But, this is just my personal preference
Despite this, I'm still rating it 10, because objectively the drama is actually very well done
I actually enjoy Do Ha's role a lot. I find his role very interesting. It's first time I've seen someone who knows how to make and denote bomb and do autopsy at same time. That's dope! Samsoon is also a dope one!
Even Dex is a really well developed character, very cool and talented, of course I disagree and dislike his malicious intent, but at least he is good at being evil.
I suspected that the ML didn't die but then I got fooled when I saw the autopsy being carried out, but who knows that its a fake too! That, totally got me. What a plot twist.
Overall, I really love how well balanced this drama is. Solid teamwork within and across team. It's not a drama that focuses only one main characters, but truly everyone plays a part.
I really enjoy this drama. Thank you!

Filled with fillers!
Main reason I dropped the show isn't because of the story per se, but I just don't feel that attracted by ML, FL or both of them. Nothing specifically charismatic here, despite the ML being actually cute as a person, but the character here just doesn't quite cut it.As for the show, It's unnecessarily draggy and gets boring over time. It started out funny and somewhat exciting for first few episodes, and it just gets boring. It's actually quite nice and funny, but it's not something that needs 16 episodes. well, it's a typical long-winded Kdrama style lol... Honestly, its not that bad, its just too much fillers for me, so i ended up skipping parts.
But, if you like something easy to watch, and just relax, give it a try.

I tried but it did't work out
I came here after watching You are my Soul Mate and get really disappointed.I know I shouldn't compare but I could feel the drop in standard
I don't feel as entertained at all. It's not that funny, nor loving or cute. It just feels like a bunch of a mess.
I tried to watch since it's a short episode anyway but can't stand it and dropped it after 1.2 episode lol
Although, there are some funny moments but overall its quite boring and just nothing much is happening

Easy happy watch
It's surprisingly funny & lighthearted for a CBL 😂 The island is gorgeous, making it so healing just looking at the view- sth that we often see in JBL and I'm glad I get to see this here too. I love the chemistry of both couples. It's an easy watch- binge it in one night after siting on it for a while as I thought it'd be heavyI didn't watch Addicted, so I don't know if there's any reference at all but I heard that this couple is the 2nd couple in the original Addicted. If that's the case, I'm SO happy for them because boy- there are so many 2nd couple that I wish had their own series! SO, I'm glad they have their time now, even if it comes 10 years later apparently.
The only thing is the sudden separation before getting back together that I don't like. Not because they get separated but just somehow don't make that much sense but the ending saves it all.
I really enjoy it so much I put this in my rewatch list.

I'll never see math the same again
GMMTV has officially made math sexy 😂 I'm SO glad they're still producing such pure hearted BL- teens love where they support each other in gaining confidence and in fulfilling their dreams. Not just among couple, but among friendship. I love the mathcamp concept where they learnt its not about beating each othher up - but you can have fun, enjoy your friendship and everyone is a winner in their own way. this is a great message to reinforce in youth, esp lot of gmmtv audience belongs to this category.That "you can do it" math thingy? chef kiss! i'll never see math the same again

Until the time is through
There is not a single moment that I don't feel their love. The way Kun Yai looks at Kaewta really shows how mesmerized he is. Billy did an excellent job at portraying his love through all those eye gazes. HIs acting has improved so much.It has one of the most natural kisses and NC scenes. Sensual and romantic, yet you can feel the deep love. The NC is also very well woven into the story. It gives depth to the romance, and not just NC for the sake of NC. They show you why it's called making LOVE!
This show is what makes me become BillyBabe fan!!! It's so good i put this in my rewatch list. Can't wait for more of their masterpieces and oh, I REALLY love the ending of this show. It makes me really satisfied especially the last scene. Indeed, ETERNITY means ETERNITY
P.S: Billy looking like a prince charming while Babe looking so pretty is a total bonus!

Plot twist after plot twist- with a strong bromance
Don't be fooled by the poster- I almost skip this thinking it's a triangle love story, it's not even close. It's pretty bromance-y or strong brotherhood, up to your own interpretation :)This show is SOOOO goood, much better than some of the more popular dramas. Engaging & entertaining. It's funny yet serious at same time. The endless plot twist got my heart racing again and again. The bromance is a total bonus. I'm glad I gave this a try.

The b(romance) is real
I almost missed it since I thought the person on the right is a woman based on the poster 😆 I'm glad it popped up on Youtube.Given it's a short series, it did really well. In fact, I love it much more than a lot of the longer series. Amazing acting, great fight scenes and definitely deep chemistry there. The only thing I wish is for an alternative ending/special episode. Other than that, I really love this.
It's also a treat knowing Ah Yu is the "arrow guy" in Blood River. It's lovely that they use talented and experienced actors in this series.
SPOILER AHEAD
It's one of the favorite dying scene I've watched (although I hate such ending). When Jiang Hu called him "AH YU"- it's basically saying i love you without saying it. It really hit the spot there.

SOOO good- I'm glad I found it!
It takes some time to get used to the FL as she was pretty annoying at beginning, but I'm glad I sticked through. The character development of the FL is amazing. Now, Lee Kyu Hyung totally killed it! I'm here because of him and he is SO good here.I love the bickering moments between ML and FL. It brought lightheartedness amidst plot that could otherwise be heavy. Also, Silver Lining as OST is spot on- total bomb! One of the best OST
I really enjoy every episode. It has a really great mix of humour, suspense, thriller and touching moments all mixed up together.
Oh- and that one liner as the ending- totally nails it!

Hot boxer and sexy doctor? OH YES!
I love how positive the vibe of this show is- been a while I watch BL like this!While I absolutely love NCs, I appreciate how this show is able to carry its weight without having to sell NC only.
This is one of the rare FWB show that is actually non-toxic but healthy! I love how Yoryak and Wandee supports each other dreams, how they care and understand one another and just so many of the lovey doves moments. I melt!
Highlight for me is actually Cher!!! I'm a big fan of OyeCher- I want them with their own series! I love how their love story really feels DEEP and REAL= like it's very realistic instead of only fluffy. I really love the proposal scene. It is the simplest yet sweetest one I've watched. It totally touches my heart and makes me cry. I mean, there isn't anything near fancy yet its beautiful and sincere.
I also love how this carries positive message such as HPV vaccination, normalising mental health care and the implicit meaning of "My Good Day, MY Choice"! They even educate on asexual a little, really well done at GMMTV is constantly expanding its inclusivity!
Very well done on ending where there's no loose end and everyone has their happy ending, including Dr. Ter and Thaem! Yay!
This is a funny, meaningful story, inspiring message, and great acting too- especially Great who plays Yoryak!

I'd love to see this couple in another setting again!
The acting is amazing! Really good- no cringe moment. NC is super good too!I love the storyline, really special where we dive into the role of a "stand in". this alone gives freshness to the BL industry. It really got me hooked, especially for 1st half of the show. It gets somewhat complicated/dramatic halfway through, but- the ending is SO satisfactory, that it's worth it
I especially like the last scene, it kinda gives us what we expect more of, but with twist of humour. I had a really good laugh at last scene yet feeling so warm and happy.
I really love Up's acting here. I've watched him in Lovely Writer which I love as well, and I'm glad to see him back and hope to see him in more BL.
The chemistry is really good, kiss scenes are good, and action scenes are good too. Loose ends are tied- it feels really nicely wrapped
I also love the overall pacing and vibe of the show. It feels really classy, well done and professional- not "on budget amateur" vibe that we sometimes get from BL .
I am really satisfied with this BL- been a while since I am this impressed since Last Twilight!
My little wish is to see this couple again- but this time round, lets make it less dramatic for them, I just want to see a lovey dove sweet BL story for them :)

I love everything but.....
The only thing I wish is if the old YeongHan is portrayed as happier than how it's currently being presentedI mean I understand if the funeral scene is meant to be sad, but I wish to see more smile/laughter in other scenes. I don't know, there's something about his look that is just sooooo sad. I mean, for a great life he has lived, i really wish to see a happy old man.
Plus, he looks like a totally different person than the younger version of YeongHan. Not just in looks, but in overall being. Perhaps, age has taken its toll on our young YeongHan :)
Besides that, I love the show very much, especially the part on the FL! When I first sense romance in the show, I'm like "you better not give me another cliche where the FL needs to be saved". Thanks God they know better than to do that and deliver us an FL role that we all love. Like, we can really see how she is the support pillar for YeongHan and has been helpful in many ways. I really love such portrayal of FL than the typical K drama tropes
The ending is extremely satisfying, especially when they did the last recap of all characters. The story is wrapped up very tightly and neatly. Well done
Of course, the acting, the story, and everything is great. I love that it's in 1958 and it gives us cases that is somewhat different from the modern day cases. That said, somehow there's a gloomy undertone throughout the show, despite some funny moments. Maybe, it's the nostalgic vibe of the 50s!?
The highlight for me? Lee Jee Hoon! Ngl, I'm here for him and he totally delivers! Brownie points? Seeing him in 50s trench coat is a look I never know I needed to see this lifetime and he's so dashing!!
Overally, I enjoyed it- I just wish it's a little funnier and. a little lighter in tone. But, that's more of personal preference than testament of the quality of show.
If you love a solid crime, action, detective show, with amazing cast, go for it. Every single team member of unit 1 is very lovable!

Worth every tear shed
It's so beautiful and touching. I'm very satisfied with the ending as it doesn't leave me hanging as I am not a fan of open ending.If you're put off by the office politics, fret not. It's only a little at beginning and then followed by very satisfactory plot twists
I love all couples here and I really love the significance of flowers and its meaning here
This show is deeper than it looks with lots of subtle messages, beautiful lessons and lots of love.
The kiss scene is really hot too, could feel their burning love. I wish it's longer and more lol...
Apart from that, I really love it. I am not a fan of show that made me cry but this one is the rare one that I felt every tear is worth shedding. It's so healing in a way.
