This was nice, I liked it despite the terrible subs. And though the chemistry was great and I really enjoyed the interaction between the two leads but I think this should have ended on ep15/16 Max. The rest was so draggy and totally unnecessary that I skipped most of it. I haven't yet to find a Chinese drama that doesn't drag a bit, even my favourite ones have an unnecessary scene or two, if not a whole EP or even more. But this one was good enough that I only skipped a little at the end.
I binge watched this drama in one sit because I really liked it, be that as it may I had a few moments when I went "really!?" Because They made everything seem difficult but they solved every problem so easily I also like how it wasn't heavy drama like I don't feel down after watching it despite having a lot of sad moments. One thing that bothered me, I understood the age differences between the characters but I didn't really believe it, I wouldn't change any of the cast for the world but not in a million years I'd see HyeSun younger than BoHyun by 8 years or more. They definitely look around the same age. Moreover Yoonkyung is also supposed to be older than HyeSun here but she looks younger than all the 4 leads and that's probably the main thing that bothered me while watching, still, I was able to enjoy it because of their performances, the cast were amazing and everyone played his role perfectly as I said I wouldn't change a thing. I don't know if I would recommend it, for me it's a one time watch and nothing more but I think people should give it a try.
I don't really care about this matter but I remember that there was another Korean drama that had a vigorous backlash after they represented an Arab that drank alcohol and was flirty with women, while there are many arabs who drinks and flirts, they are apparently the exception, if you are going to represent them, choose the rule not the exception, which means the majority that don't drink or flirt, and I know it's fiction and everything but this coming from an Asian country that their people till this day gets furious about the idea of people calling them "Chinese" and "Chinamen" or that they all look like eachother without even trying to respect them and ask where they are from, and I'm saying this because I literally faced a situation like that just recently, so I understand if Arabs got angry about it or find it offensive/prejudiced. My point is if it's a grey area but it would make a group of people angry why couldn't they just step out the stereotypical concept of making all Arab rich and wear this weird head thing and drink alcohol. It's not the first time so for me, they saw that coming, it's like shooting yourself in the foot.
That was a big let down, even hot kisses and making out won't save it, and I'm saying this not because that's my mainly focus while watching or anything, but because in the last 3 ep they were full of making out scenes between the leads as if they found out that they started to lose views and people's interests so they crammed hot scenes in the last 3 EPs to get people's attention and it's quite funny that they added a "fake kiss" scene between Poppy and Zo while Man was sucking up Ben's esophagus in more than one scene. This was a very boring office drama, and I can't even call it BL, because BL is not having two leads who happens to be gay and just observe their boring daily life till they somehow miraculously fall in love. This also had quite a few unnecessary crying scenes lol like whenever someone's feelings are slightly hurt he cries in a corner π I know some people are emotional more than others but for me it was a tad too much π€£ Anyway I tried to like this but unfortunately I didn't like it.
"He is as dumbfounded as if he has just received a vaccination" ... That's.... One way to say it .... LOL Story was seen in 1000 movie/drama before but as an avid Taiwanese BL fan I'm definitely gonna watch it πππ
This was too sweet, I really loved everything about this movie except maybe for her mother, also I like how they showed his kindness and love by doing little stuff for her, she would be a country bumpkin trying to fit in and he'd, you know turn on a lampshade for her or ask her to eat comfortably in restaurants and just be herself.... He was so precious, probably one of my favourite ML characters ever. Highly recommended for a light and cute love story.
I kinda expected more from this, personally It's quite difficult to like a drama if I don't like the characters or the story in general, and in this drama it was so hard for me to relate to them, ironically enough, I have the same mentality of the FL concerning marriage yet I couldn't relate to her at all. Also the great revelation in ep9 was totally unnecessary, same with some other moments in the story. Anyway, I can't say it was bad but for me it was Meh!! And I definitely not gonna watch this again ~
It's not the usual one couple movie/drama. It's about love blossoming on New Year's with an ensemble cast. I find…
I wasn't trying to lecture you, βΊοΈI was just saying if you watch other movies you would understand why I didn't like this one, but we all have different tastes so π€· Yeah, cool "high5* xD

Oh well, we disagree on that lol but it's ok Btw I - obviously - know it has more than one couple, I watched it, you know π I was talking about having too many couples and bad editing, also it's not the first movie with more than one couple, you probably should watch more movies. Some out there are much better ~~
So before starting this, I have to ask, why does Takezai Terunosuke always act in these type of dramas, not that I don't like him or anything but it feels like I watching the same drama, he reminds me of Kento Yamazaki, he is in 90% of the live actions π But both are doing great so ππ
Edit: So I'm done watching this and it was funnier than I thought,the lead was hilarious and with his best friends are the best combination, it was a very cute drama and I like that there is no hateful characters except maybe for the weirdo Sunbae but he didn't appear that much, I really enjoyed this drama from the beginning till the end, highly recommended.
At a certain point after watching too many Thai BLs you kinda stop rationalising them, come what may I'll just watch it! This lacks a lot, like A LOT of things but I understand the overall plot and it could be better IMO if the script was slightly more developed.
Because I watched the series I wasn't really impressed with the movie version, actually I found it slightly boring and though I disagree with some points in the movie I kinda like the way they represent the idea, be that as it may I think it's a one time watch so if you have already watched the series you needn't watch this one ~~~
β That was really disappointing, I thought it would be a fluffy light BL but it was so bad, I did not like Mahiro and I don't understand him at all, so you meet your first love, you hide everything and don't confess, then get jealous for no reason, and when he -somehow- try to sort out his feelings towards you, you lashes out, get angry and leaves heartbroken all by yourself. What gives you the right to act like that!? Also I know this is drama not real life and that is why I'm saying so but if you are that "different" from him, you should really let him sort his feelings without getting butthurt about that, considering that you ALREADY DID what he asked for, at least he'd have YOUR consent. I'm sure some may disagree but I'm talking from this drama POV I wouldn't suggest that IRL. But I really can't deny that I'm really disappointed with this drama which rarely happens so I would not suggest this drama to anyone, just skip it ~~~
I don't know why but I expected it to be funnier than this, I smiled in like, a couple of scenes and that's it. The good news is it was entertaining and fun to watch, I liked the action sequence and the story went smoothly I didn't find any plot holes I could think of aside from, of course, the unrealistic side of the whole movie but I genuinely enjoyed it, just for other reasons than what I had in mind.
A less developed survival game,, if I to compare it to other dramas of the same genre like liar game/ Alice in boarder land ... Etc. It'd fail miserably not because it was bad but because it left us with too many unanswered questions and some mysterious characters with a few things that need to be explained too, that been said I think it was on the same level in term of the smart ML and the interesting game. I liked it to be fair, but I think it could have been better ~~~
Cute, but is cuteness enough!? For a KBL this is more than enough lol but generally as a short drama, it kinda lacks a lot of consistency in the story, but I still was able to enjoy it.
I'm trying not to be judgy but I think I slipped lol I myself am single but I have seen when one side in marriage doesn't want sex/children and the other wants, it all lead to one thing that's all am saying~~ Both dramas are somehow with the same views on marriage I think ~ I think we can just agree to skip the last EP ~~ π€£
Yeah, I went crazy reading some comments thinking Yo and Michi "look good" together despite everything! Those people have never been in a serious relationship nor got married before and it shows lol
