Someone gave the dog an Oscar!
Oh my, the dog really showed emotions, what an amazing acting! I feel like squeezing the dog all the time, too pretty fluff!Dog aside, it's an amazing show. I really love the combination of the 3 main acts, they compliment each other well
Esp love the Professor who is so narcissistic in a charming weird way, it's really funny though.
Love the combination of how the Professor is a genius not just in science, but almost in a dectective like manner
Making this show a great combi of detective + science + humanity show
Gets really exciting towards the end, with lots of touching moments and life lessons.
First few episodes are great too, but they are like one case per episode. I personally prefer a show with bigger storyline that spans out thru few episodes, which is the case for 2nd half of the show
So, i guess you get the best of both worlds. You can just skip the episode if you don't like the case study for that one. Somewhere around halfway of show, then you'll see how the story continues and builds up from one case to the next.
Try it out and watch it. Fist few minutes of 1st episode and I"m hooked
Oh, the professor is really goodlooking too! And boy, I want such a giant nature park at home too!

Even better than S2!!!
You know a show has progressed when S2 is 10x better! I'm SO happy with everything, except that where is Season 3???!I mean with that ending, I need a S3!!! Best part of S2 is Dr.K really, I've loved him since his first appearance
I was initially upset that Stella and Detective Cha isn't there, but since Dr. K is introduced, I'll take this deal lol. I also prefer Prosecutor Do way better.
I do wish Stella is back. But, either way, S3 pleease
Anyway, this is really good, like there's more thrill and action compared to S1 which is more focused on storyline
SO good! Better story, better plot twist, and better characters.
the plot twist towards the end, dammmn! its like i kinda know it but i don't...so its super thrilling

Plot twist after plot twist!
I've experienced more emotions in these last 18 episodes than I've been in a month lolIt feels like the writer is trying to put 3 shows into 1:
It feels like law drama + memory loss + prison break into one lol.
I personally think the prison break is unnecessary and it's kinda not making sense, although I do enjoy it.
I'd rather seeing the evidence being laid out during the trial for Cha Min Ho, althou I also understand why they want to wrap it up clean and neat. I just love watching law show ,I guess lol.
Both child actors are so cute and sweetheart too! Oh, the surprise twist for me is this
Our Optimus Prime LOL. If you've watched him at DOTS, you'll remember how annoying he is. He often is the case in other show too, but FOR ONCE, he is such a great help here
He is funny and helpful and surprisingly loyal. I really like his character here and this is a major character surprise for me. Coz, when I first saw him, I expect him to be the typical bad guy that he is
All the other characters are all very well done too. Touching and satsifsying ending too
I highly recommend this show! Old shows are indeed better, we don't see such great shows these days anymore

It gives you more than a breeze of love
It took me 3 attempts to watch this but I couldn't watch pass the first few 5 mins or 10, bcoz I find it slow and boring lol.. but, i'm glad that I never give up.Once you watch pass the 1st 10 mins or so, it takes off really well. I love every moment of the show after that.
Short series = no drag
It's very heartwarming, sweet and medicine for your soul kind of BL
I just wish the kiss scene is more realistic lol I'm not asking for hardcore, but two lips pressing against each other is so akward to watch, esp if they slo-mo it? like what are you even slo-mo-ing?
This applies to most KBL honestly, although I wouldn't deduct any point just because of this
I can still feel the sweetness and all, so all is good, but it's just really nice to watch some realistic kiss, even if it's for a few seconds lol...
Overall, this is the kind of BL you watch when you're in need of your "feel good BL'" dose!

SO GOOD, it's underrated!
It has so much value packed in 1 hour, even more than some dramas that have 16 episodes!I love the concept, it's not entirely new, but pretty interesting spin on it. It carries deep life lessons and valuable message that anyone can relate to. It's tastefully done, without making it too complex, simple yet deep.
I love the interior, vibes and mood of the cafe too, it made me wanna visit there, it's so homely!
I also enjoy all the little details like when they make coffee, the analogy the made using coffee, the conversations among them, all the little moment count.
No moment is there for the sake of, it carries a meaning
It's seriously one of the best drama I've watched in a long time!!
Sometimes, when I watch deep show like that, they can get too heavy or complicated that i lost track or focus, but this one isn't the case. It's still very enjoyable to watch, and many moments that make me smile.

We need more BL like this!
I'm starting to like Jap BL more, esp the short one seems to be really good. I notice they tend to have more nature setting like seaside, mountain, etc, that makes it very healing to watch.This couple is so wholesome, healthy and really cute. I mean, they actually start out as friends before turning into lovers. If you've watched too much BL like me, finally...we get reminded that lovers actually can start out as friends, not enemy or FB.
Ryuji Kun is SOOO cute! and Kudos to Amane for saying "NO" to his fb. Wow, so direct and mature at his age. See, all it takes is a simple text to prevent all the unnecessary drama or toxicity that BL tends to have. It really isn't that difficult, guys!
Despite it being somewhat "plain" (non-toxic or overly dramatic), it is actually very sweet, cute and healing.
If there's one thing I wish for, is an actual kiss scene instead of camera angle, coz hey, that would be sweet.
Oh and producer, I understand it might be a budget thing, but that public bathouse is reallllly dirty that its a bit icky when i was watching it, like I really want them to get out and wash clean haha
Other than my minor rant, it's one of my favorite BL really!

When BL meets Lakorn!
3 Couples = 3x passion, 3x sweetness, but also 3x the pain!!It's a hot mess with a sweet ending, somewhat. I mean, we even have Ray going to rehab, that's some positive influence here!
Here's my 3 favorite couples in descending order
1. SandRay
I came here for TopMew but fell so hard for SandRay, especially for Sand. He is mature, charismatic and just a really cool guy. The way he melts each time Ray goes "Na..na...na...", oh so sweet. Gradually, I fell for Ray too. He might be a hot mess, but boy did he know who he wants. I especially love when he got Sand to kiss Boeing. What a daring suave bf. I also love the reference made to "Begin Again", reminded me of Theory of Love.
2. TonNick
My heart breaks 100x for Nick, but I am SO proud of him for choosing himself in the end, even though it took him 12 episodes lol... Sure, Ton probably won the biggest dickhead award here, but I guess he has been real in a way. TonNick might not be the healthiest couple here but I've loved their passion and chemistry since beginning. Its hot af, and I feel they really get along well, its just the past wounds stopping Ton from being able to commit.
3. TopMew
It's very hard for me to watch them for the 1st half of the show because I knew that Top cheated. That hurts me each time I see them loving on screen, so I ended up skipping most of their scenes. Also, their story is too complicated for my liking, and I became more invested in SandRay in the end.
Overall, it feels more like Lakorn with all the emotional rollercoaster.
This is one of rare shows where I don't want a S2, because I don't think my heart can take another round of beating lol
This is the longest review I've written, thats how much feelings have been stirred!
And...I've officially become a fan for First!!!

2nd Couple takes the lead!
You know how show tend to focus way too much on main couple? This show isn't like thisIt is very well-balanced, I really love all the casts (apart from the bandits lol). Not to mention, the music! One of the best OST that really brings out emotions and play at right timing. Till today, I still feel a lot when I heard the OST playing!
I am a fan of SJK character here, but not so much the 1st FL. While I don't dislike her, I won't say I really like her. I prefer the 2nd FL way better. What's interesting is the 2nd FL is actually the one that has the rank, status, etc, yet the 1st FL is the one who acts more spoilt. I don't appreciate how she, more than one time, acted almighty about doctor saving life and solider killing people. Yet, she is the one who NEEDS to be SAVED more than one time. So much talk about soldier killing life! What a hypocrite. That's what makes me lose my respect for 1st FL, and what takes away that 0.5 point from this show! Also, her crying seems to be just filled with tears, without REAL emotions felt
2nd FL on other hand is really strong minded. She also is such a great actress that when she cries, I always cry because I truly feel her. I also love 2nd ML. Overall, I prefer 2nd couple way better and I feel they save the show, especially on the romance side of thing
But to me, SJK remains the star, I am biased, I know but his acting is just so good.
That 2 couples aside, I also love every other cast. There are so many life lessons to learn from each person, whether it's those who died, almost die, and everyone else
I rarely rewatch a show, but i've rewathed this a few times now. And the more. I rewatch, the more I like the 2nd couple.
Despite what I said about the main FL, I still would say this show is very well done. You might just like the main FL, she is just not really my liking as I feel she gets in the way of the ML a lot of times, which is a typical stereotype KDrama!
Again, I feel 2nd FL should be the norm for FL, not the typical " I need to be saved FL!"

Funnier than I thought!
I thought it'd be a cringey slapstick comedy but boy, it is actually REALLY funny.In the sea of rising BL couples, it's hard to pick a favorite but I must say this new couple made it to my list!
I love how Korn is staring at Bud so affectionately and how Bud is shy (great acting on that btw!)
Love the chemistry and definitely wanna see more of them
Bud's visual is off the chart, I can't wait to see more of his work
This show is overall cute and funny. I love it!

Healthiest Jap BL couple!!!
I love how misunderstanding is cleared up almost instantly. I mean, if a high schooler can do this, why can't other BL couples do this? Lol..I also love side straight couple. I am usually biased towards supporting the BL couple, but this is the first show I actually love all couples and enjoy the entire show, without skipping scenes.Music is spot on. Development is great. Really funny, cute and loving
The only thing is I still don't understand why they break up. I feel like its a plot twist for the sake of. Depsite it, since its a happy ending, I'll take it. Also, since they are in high school, I guess its common to break up easily for no reasons. After all, its their first relatioship and they did really well for that
It seems unlilely but I'm happy for a special episode or season 2, even!
Also, Ida gets cuter at each scene!

I ENJOYED IT A LOT!
I've seen a lot of reviews saying how the relationship is toxic. But, whethere BL or not, most dramas are done that way as it depicts reality.It doesn't mean I support toxic behavior at all. It just mean it's reflecting the imperfect reality of the world.
I dropped this drama the 1st time round too, because I can't stand how there's bullying involved
But, I'm glad I gave it a 2nd try, because...the story actually developed pretty fast. So, we are able to see the progress and see how things are getting better, even though it isn't perfect
What I wanna say is not to judge a relationship too early. It might started toxic, but the more important part is whether it stays this way, which I honestly won't know till I watch S2 and more
But again, I don't really see people commenting toxic relationship in non-BL show. Somehow, this has been a trend in BL community.
If you're uncomfortable, drop the show, but I feel there is no need to backlash it so much, especially if you didn't finish watching it
Don't we watch BL to enjoy anyway? That's why I give my rating not necessarily on any critical factors than the fact that I enjoyed it. Because, I don't care how "pefect" s a show is, it's pointless if I don't enjoy it
Verdict of this BL?
I really enjoyed it. I love the ending a lot.
The chemistry, the sexual tension building up is so well-done.
I wish they have more hot scenes coz I can imagine how hot it'd be, given the passion!
And I'm glad that they FINALLY communicate (what's new lol)

It's really enjoyable overall, except for some parts
I really like it for the 1st 7 episodes or so and it just dropped....I mainly love how fluffy and cute they are at beginning, esp when they are bickering and teasing each other. I especially love Shin's attitude. He seems to be way more mature than Minato despite the age gap!I'm glad eventually Minato sort things out and it all work out, but the drag makes me feel a bit frustrated at some point, honestly. I continued watching bcoz I wanna know the ending, which luckily didn't disappoint
I'll still say its worth the watch overall. I was really really happy for most part, just a bit draggy towards the end, which actually is so common in many dramas. Or maybe, im just impatient lol
Oh, I love the music, its so cute that I didn't skip the intro and actually enjoy watching. I also love the setting where we keep seeing ocean, makes me feel like im healing too. Makes me wonder how it feels like to stay in a town like that where the beach is clean. not overly commercialized, just locals hanging out, like big communal family. Must have been nice
Shuuu sensei is so cute!! Thats a brownie point as to why I keep on watching too

Perfect BL to recharge after heavy drama!
It's a great BL to watch, especially after watching a "tiring" drama.It's a good break with something light, easy to watch
I really love the chemistry between the couple, the soft angst make it kinda hot!
I actually watched this for 2nd time today and I still enjoy it, despite remembering what would happen next.
The only thing I wish for is a little explanation on the ending but I guess there's a beauty to mystery to lol..
Not all things need to be explained, I guess!

All-rounder drama!
It's funny, thrilling and touching at same time.Somehow I found one of the casts remind me of Joey from Friends, lol. He is that funny!
If you've watched the Korean version before, you'll find the first 2 episodes somewhat familiar, but as it progresses, this Jap version takes its own story, while still keeping the essence of parent story
It's very well done, I especially love the plot twists and ending.
I'll say both the Korean and Jap version are amazing. It's a matter of whether you want to watch a movie or drama, really.
Casts are both great, story are amazing.

It's better than it looks!
I really love the OST, especially the one near the ending! It's a really great show with lovely storyline.It's a refreshing plot with interesting ways of presenting crimes and police investigation
I especially love the bromance between the buddy. The casts are surprisingly funny and adorable to watch. They might not be your typical visual in drama, but they are really easy on the eyes
I laughed a lot and also cried here and there.
The only thing is it's a little slow in first few episodes, so I though there wasn't much going on and it suddenly took a turn and become a wild ride, with real good ending
Stay tuned and watch till the end.
It's also a nice break from typical Kdrama lol..I found Jdrama has its own style of humor that might take some getting used to. but once used to it, its very nice to watch!
