Surprisingly okay, without sub!
It's 1st time I watched show without sub, that's how badly I want to watch this! Why?Because I love all 10 casts and that's rare to like everyone in the show. Plus, my favorite pairings are put all in one show, this is like a dessert house for me lol
I'm surprised that I enjoyed the show, even without sub. I can't believe I sit on this for so long! Sure, I skip some parts where it's mainly conversation but managed to watch the games which are mostly what the show is for
The games are hilarious af and watching their inner boys coming out to play, screaming and shouting with so much joy just put me into so much laughter and fun
I really enjoyed it!

It made you laugh, cry and laugh again
I like this even better than the series itself! It's such an all-rounderIt really is SOOOO funny and the games played are super creative. I've watched A LOT of variety shows and yet I've seen games that I've never seen before here, which I was honestly surprised! I enjoyed it so much
The chemistry is very natural. It made me so happy watching their inner child comes out and play. It's so fun watching 12 guys having fun together.
Yet, it's so deeply healing with 3 episodes that are very touching and heartwarming.
And then, we are back to really funny again. My personal highlight is Nut, he is such a Queen and he made this show worth every smile line made LOL I serioulsy laughed SO HARD. so funny
I've always loved team Hunter in Pitbabe as I found everyone in the team amazing. But, this boys journey made me love literally everyone except Tony. It made me miss these 12 boys so much that I might just rewatch PitBabe again!!!

Beautiful Hidden Message
I first chanced upon similar concept of entering a game in "Memories of the Alhambra" which I totally dropped due to the intensity. So, I'm SOOO glad that we have KBL version of similar concept of sort.I really love their chemistry, they are such a sweet couple, especially the innocence of Yeo Woon. In meanwhile, Myung Ha' voice brings so much calming and assuring effect, I can listen to him talk all day long.
As usual from Korean show (BL or not), 1st 2 episodes are a bit slow and once it picks up, it's really engaging!
I love the hidden message about self-love towards the end, where it's indirectly teaching us to love ourselves first before making others happy, which is an important message. Often times, people misunderstand meaning of love because of how it is depicted as needing to sacrifice for others, etc in typical drama. So, it's beautiful to watch this KBL takes a lead in this.
Plus, I'm happy to see Geon Han entering BL scenes, showing more people are open to BL!
Overall, I love this show a lot, esp the couples. I really want seaso 2, or special, just to see this couple having their lovey dovey moments pls!

Darker than it looks
Gist, it's more twisted than the poster made it out to be, but it gets you clicking "next" regardless. Also, it's my bad for not reading the tag properly. It does have "slight horror" tagged on it lolThe acting is top notch, crazy action-packed adventured filled with plot twists. It's SO good! If you're looking for a thrill, you're in for a ride!
The only thing that bothered me is how the father turned out in the end. I am not a fan of the father taking revenge because he lost the bigger perspective of life. While chasing for murderer, he is losing the only family he is left with now. I mean...what if the son ends up having a murderer as a father? That is even more cruel than what had already happened.
For that reason, I really get quite disappointed towards the end, despite the murderer being a real psycho.
Also, if you're not into dark story, you could skip the parts where the murderer is retelling his story. After this storytelling, the action gets real good. I didn't regret watching it, I just wished I had skipped those dark story, because it's not really necessary to understand the whole drama.
Overall, I think the show is very well done and is probably the best thriller I've watched in terms of the excitement it gives you, though not necessarily my personal favorite for the reason above (about the father)
Watch it and judge it for yourself!

It carries so much depth, meaning & joy!
He is a true embodiment of what it means by "When you shine your light, you allow others to shine theirs too"I love to see more dramas with such a unique profession. I actually enjoyed the animal knowledge shared here in a fun way. I mean we have enough of police, lawyer or doctor in drama, lol. His profession alone makes it a very interesting watch!
I enjoy watching Aikawa at every moment because his eyes is sparkling with awe, wonder, curiosity, passion and beaming with light. l also love the way this character is portrayed.
Although he is in a way weird, but he still has EQ in the sense that he does know when someone is upset, and the fact he is direct, means he speak up and clear stuff up. He probably has way better communication skills than other "normal" people who just assumed things! Also, he is sensitive and smart and pick up lots of things.
What I love the most is how he inspires and imparts wisdom to people around him without trying hard. He is simply being himself, and letting his light becomes bigger and it ripples!
My favorite part is when he explained why we are made out of miracles, nicely putting a wrap to the show. Plus, I never think of it that way, so he totally shows me a new paradigm there!
Oh, my heart is so full and my soul so nourished after watching him. Plus, he challenges me to think big too! I mean, this dude goes to space (which I totally would love S2 on that, thou unlikely)
The only thing is the FL is hard to watch, esp at 1st few episodes, I almost dropped the show because of her but glad I stayed on. Thanks God she got better towards the end
I love how each cast is given their final "ending", giving them the spotlight and let the show wraps up in very holistic way
This drama carries so much depth, meaning & joy!

BL or not, it's a fricking gd show!
This is one of the best BL I've watched. Well, kinda implied BL. If you're expecting kisses and all, there's none. But, if you're expecting chemistry and love, I'm pretty sure it's there. In fact, its probably even the healthiest kind of love here!I love this show a lot, especially after watching so many school setting BL lol. It's nice to watch sth that's thrilling with some actions. Also,the storyline is pretty good. It kinda keeps me guessting till the end
Its easy watch, no drag.
I really love the 2 MLs and I'd be lying to say I want some kisses here and tehre or more...or at least a hug, coz they are so clearly in love!
Overall, enjoyable and refreshing watch. and SHiro is SO sexy, I died.

11/10 kinda good!
I can't believe I put this off for so long. This is like 11/10 kinda good!Oh my, there are parts where it hurts like mad, but it's overalll really sweet, romantic and cute
I love the acting, especially the actor who plays Risei. Even when he cries, I can feel it. It's not forced or fake.
Really good acting, this is why I appreciate Jap BL.
I still dunno why its called Jack O frost though. I know he draw Jack in the drama, but thats the only reference. I don't see a linked/context to it? Am I missing sth? lol
Anyway the drama....It's short, so its not draggy. It ends beautifully as a show, I won't ask for more. Sometimes, what makes a great series is exactly knowing when to end too!
Except that I do want more, like special episode just because I love the couple so much!

Healing show!
the first 2 episodes might seem blant or slow, but once it took off, it is really good.I am happy that Yul not only rekindled his passion, he found new love and most importantly, found back himself.
It's a lighthearted, heartwarming yet meaningful show. It carries room for reflection and lessons for our daily life
I also love the village setting where it's a community style living, we can use reminder to care a little more about people around us. It's also healing just looking at the scenery
Overall, it's way better than I thought, even better than some of the more popular BL.
It seriously deserves more hype! Not to mention Chan is SO funny, a perfect himbo to add some fun to the show! I also love the song in the ending!

SEASON 2 PLEASE!!!
This is SO good, deserves way more limelight!!! Since I am timid, I mostly skip fantasy show as it is usually scary for me. But, this one is surprisingly okay! There is about 5% of scary scenes but that's about itFinally, get to enjoy this genre without being scared LOL...
It's well-balanced! We need more show like this!
It's funny but deep at same time. Lots of life lessons in each episode and beautiful family and friendships.
While this isn't BL, I feel the bromance has a little bit of the BL vibes, so I am totally enjoying that too..lol
The ending is so well done. Everything is answered and wrapped up nicely.
Most importantly, it doesn't drag!!! Initially, I wished that it has more episodes, but after I finished watching, I am happy at how it ends. The only thing is I wish there is second season coz I want MORE!!!!

Healthy BL couple + Very Well-Done!
Healthy BL couple!I love how the ending ties back to the beginning of the story! Such a neat wrap-up.
Love how compact and not draggy it's. I was initially worried that it's too short and would leave it dangling.
Instead, it is very well done, even better than some of the longer series that tends to get unnecesssary complex or messy
It's a great "feel good" watch for days when u want sth easy, lighthearted, and heartwarming. It's also inspiring in its own way too!

If you like the couple, watch it
Don't listen to others' reviews, good or bad. Why? Coz, everyone is different. What you like is different than what I likeI also realized a trend in MDL where people tend to spend time hating dramas and all. It's puzzling why someone keep on watching something that they hate? Like, you know you can drop it right? Anyway..they can say all they want, but don't let what they say, take away the joy that you could have from watching what you want!
I'm glad I came back to watch S2 despite the hate towards this show. I was under the impression this went real dark, but it's far from the truth!
In fact, I like it better than S1!! It's so fluffy, sweet, endearing and there's definitely progress in both couples.
I love the ending for everyone here.
The OST Is so good that I actually stayed on without skipping the intro. Also, the kawaii dance that goes along, esp on last episode
I mean..this show, it warms my heart, make me cry, yet make me laugh, all at same time
Mostly, it really shows the purity of love once again, which is often forgotten in today's drama filled with toxicity
Just because this drama doesnt have complicated 3rd party story, or NDC or anything extreme like that, it doesn't make this drama has less of a story plot!
It just depends on how dramatic you want a plot to be
If you love the couple, and love how they flirt, bicker and play around, then stay on for S2, and hopefully...S3 or a bonus episode!

Feeling disconnected towards the end
I love the storyline. It's unique and refreshing. I really enjoy it until last episode.I've no issue with the age gap, that isn't the problem. It's not so much about the story than the execution.
For past 5 episodes, my mind has these 2 actors as main lead. That's who I've watched, who I adore and who I've been waiting to watch, and suddenly....in last episode, we have totally different actor as Songjam?!
I get they are the same person but I feel NOTHING...because, I feel so diasappointed not able to see the kiss scenes between the younger Songjam and Aksorn, one we've been waiting for since the dance in episode 1. Although they do it with the older Songjam, it doesn't feel the same. HUGE EMOTIONAL DISCONNECT.
I dunno why they make the story so complicated. It could have been such a beautiful ending. Ugh.

Carries depth!
As you might have guessed, this is no light watch at all. It can gets quite heavy but it is extremely thought provoking and touching towards the endI throughly enjoyed the show- especially the ending- the bromance definitely gave it an added touch- love the plot twist after plot twist
What I love the most is the part where Lee Je Hoon said "At least I can fail all I want"- something along that line. It's really DEEP. When we live in a society with freewill, one of our greatest fear is fear of failure and yet he was coming from a perspective where his whole life was dictacted as such that failure wasn't even an option coz he simply has no freeodom, not even to fail, let alone to dream.
That really makes us think about the little things we might take for granted, and to an extent, to give us the courage to live our life fully. Also the quote that Piano Bro gave him is amazing and I'm glad he got reminded of his quote himself.
I mean the show isn't anything new, it is a portrayal of escape- literally thats what the entire show is about and Lee Je Hoon delivered a stunning performance. The emotions portrayed throughout is really felt by audience- it wouldn't have been the same without him.

SOO funny!
I laughed within 1st 5 minutes of the show and kept on laughing throughout. It's not a cringe-y kind of comedy but its seriously really funny because of the unexpected plot twists and so on.The storyline is very unique- I've not seen anything like this before. Afterwards, I found out its adapted from Japanese novel- which probably explains the freshness of the plot, comparing to the usual Kmovie we have seen
The action is amazing, plot twists are great and ending are unexpected
Its very entertaining, pace is good, not boring at all. Highly recommend this!

Surprisingly quite good
The synopsis is so ridiculous that I've to watch it lol...This is epic manga style cringe. So, it's not for everyone, but if you're used to manga, you can kinda close one eyes for it.I did find some episodes really cringey, yet it's surprisingly nice to watch. There's an actual storyline that keeps me clicking next. It's also such an old-school scifi style of storyline which we haven't seen for a while, so I kinda like it really
I have not read the manga, but it felt like it might be a close adaptation, at least image wise, because, seriously i've never seen such ridiculous scenes in drama before
Overall, I quite enjoy it, had good laughs at some point and the indirect reference to BTS is pretty cool
It's not the kind of show I'll put on top of my list but would be a nice break from the usual drama, kind of to watch something different and shake things up a little.
