Extraordinarily good
I can hardly stomach long and slow dramas, I tend to get bored like that *snap fingers* and I can't stand slow scenes where actors stare at each other for 15 mins unnecessarily... BUT!! I was willing to throw everything aside to continue watching this series despite being -according to my preference- a very slow and long drama.Story is exceptional, but can be told in like 20 episodes and we all would be extremely satisfied, and everything would be shown and explained perfectly.
Acting was amazing, I loved the chemistry between the leads, I don't remember much of Hidden love so I don't know if they did the whole parallel stories without mistakes or plot holes because they both are interconnected and I'm a details freak but I'm glad I don't remember tbh because now I can enjoy it without thinking much.
Romance is spectacular, I want someone like Sang Yan, I believe every girl deserves love like Sang Yan's, and I don't mean the obsessive, clingy, over-8-years, can't-seem-to-be-moving-on, slightly-stalking type of love, just simply the devoted, unchanging and caring type.
Comedy is something I missed, because it's non existent here, in HL it was a excessive in a good way and ironically it was because of Sang Yan, I couldn't relate to the same character he was completely different here even his interaction with his sister felt like they are two different people in each series, but if you treat them as such, you won't be bothered by the lack of comedic relief.
Overall, pretty long, but at the same time entertaining and captivating, you won't feel bored watching it and the romance is spectacular.
Highly recommended ~~

Very sweet
A lovely drama about two innocent souls falling in love slowly, this show sends me back in time of innocence.I love those type of pure love where you experience everything for the first time.
Cast was great, although I feel the FL looks slightly older than the ML, but both of them were great in their roles .
There is no annoying characters, no drama, no conspiracies or bad moments, the humour is subtle but entertaining.
Story is very simple and enjoyable, even side characters were nice and lovely.
if you like the old genre of pure love stories with everything focused on the two leads then this one is a gem you can't miss~~

Great story but raises some questions
This wasn't what i expected, i thought it would be a little more complicated story, but the gore was satisfying so i have no complaints.The story was ok, i thought the human vapour guy is the evil person who we have to chase and stop from doing evil deeds but that's not the case at all, and this is not a spoiler since the story is something else, but i still have some questions... Like How he became the HV and why only him? How did he just Poof by the end? I know the last scene is spoiling that it might not be the case but the lest 3 second twist is a typical end for mystery stories as a way to leave the door open for second seasons, but i have to admit that left the end loose, if he was still there, why didn't the cop who knows go there and check for him after everything is solved, i mean it's kinda messy writing but it is what it is and I'll take that with a grain of salt.
Acting was great, but Uta was spectacular, i loved the monotonous behaviour vs the chaotic lovely character he had before the incident.
Overall good, revenge is satisfying, and the end is ok.

First the story is great and i love how they were very faithful to the webtoon, i wasn't that excited when i knew it's a thai adaptation tbh, but i was wrong, they nailed it.
Acting from the two leads was great, i can't believe their ages tbh, they are so young, specially the guy playing Jay, he is what? 22, 23?? And he nailed the role, easy.
Some sude characters could have been better, but generally they were ok.
İ won't say much cause everyone already sing their praises, but it's a generally well made showbwith good cast and interesting characters.

Be careful what you wish for
This is one of those dramas where you love everything about it, yet you finish it feeling like something's missing, like the whole experience falls just short, and you can't clearly point out what went wrong and when exactly.The story is unique, and well made, chemistry was amazing and the whole drama was entertaining. I had too many questions about the end and how they wrapped everything up in a very anticlimactic way but it doesn't matter because i enjoyed the ride.
I just wish they had invested more in the script because the loose ends were too many to be ignored, but I'll not be harsh on it because Taiwanese BLs are my kryptonite.
IMO an average Taiwanese BL is better than a Top-tier, tightly written Korean/Thai BL, because they usually keep things consistent and precise to the point, i don't know how they do that, the story has a billion plothole but i generally don't care about anything enough to have beef with it.
Also this has one of the most beautiful sex scenes in a BL, like in my top10, not horny or explicit but really beautiful and lovely, I'm not delulu enough but if i was I'd believe anyone who says those two leads are actually in love, that's how emotionally pretty the scene was.
Overall, recommended and enjoyable, I'd definitely rewatch it ~

Wtf?
No really... Wtf!About 10 mins rape scene because of some type of grudge from the past?? That's it?? What's the point, man??
I've seen straight pørn with better plot lol but i have to give them that, it's a very f**king sinister idea, the devil in me is slow clapping the idea, god I'm so evil. (Only in fiction stuff not real, I'm not a psycho lol)
I would never recommend this, just watch pørn, it's better, even the "forced sex" is done better xD
And please don't think for a second that this is a BL, i believe Takemiya Keiko san is crying in a corner about what's been called BL nowadays lol

Umm
Ok.... Where to begin...The script needed some MAJOR polishing, like .. a lot of changes...some stuff here were really stupid.
First, I'll compliment 2 things, good acting from newcomers, i don't know a single person from the whole cast and i admit they were convincing in their roles.
2- is the chemistry and I'll add to that the premise, it started off cool with balanced suspense and thriller you kinda want to know how will their relationship unfold.
And that's it, the characters however are very questionable, but i can ignore the clichés and twists in the story and how in the end all the bad guys turn good and the table turns and boom happy end, also the weird moments in the beginning where a severe allergic reaction is cured by a wet vloth and some hugs and affection... I can totally turn a blind eye on all that ... But there is one thing made me almost... Like barely held myself from dropping it, it's TaeJeong!! The whole human being!!!!
This mofo is written as meaningless as a sheet of paper, a detective that looks 19 he can at most fit as a rookie, who barely have any braincells working, was dumb enough to believe whatever anybody tell him, i mean aside from the fact that he immediately assumed the identity of a stranger in his friend's house without confirming it or asking his friend about it, he didn't even TRY to put two and two together through the whole thing and when he was handled the truth on a golden plate, he had the most ridiculous reactions.
if your best friend disappear suddenly and you found out that you MISTAKENLY identified a stranger in his house, my man you don't go ask that f*cker who he is?? You call the freakin cops!!! Mate, how dumb can you be!! He probably killed him or kidnapped him or something ~
You find your friend in a hidden cell, you call the freaking cops!!
The suspicious stranger confess that he isn't who you thought he is, you call the cops!!
You fled the place you don't go back and ask him to be honest with you then believing whatever he says, instead you should call the cops!...
But noooo He doesn't do that, he simply sleeps with him!!!
*Slow clapping*👏👏👏👏👏 splendid!!! Spectacular!!! Magnificent!!!! 👏👏👏👏
My goodness, if this was a horror movie, Tae Jeong will be the first person to be killed, and believe me, I'll enjoy watching that very much!!!

Nah, I'm too old for this sh!t
Before anyone assume anything, this is not a bad show, slow beginning but not unwatchable.The thing is ... I don't think i can keep up with how SLOOOOOOW the relationship between the two leads is being developed.
Let me just say this, it's a minor spoiler but believe ne it's not really that, let me tell you about a "side character" ...
That person, fell in love, confessed, got rejected and broken hearted he, had a one night stand with his enemy -who happens to be his future parter- as one should do, then moved on completly , developed feelings for his new lover. And mirroring that the MLs had to be spoon-fed the fact that they are actually in love, like WTF??? Really?? The 7th ep ended out of 8, and they still didn't get that?
Oh thank god for side characters, i wouldn't continue if it wasn't for them ~
If you are ok with story that develops in a snail-like speed then go for it ~

So much fun
That was incredible, it has everything with excess fun and a touch of romance.İt feels like old kdramas, i loved the whole cast, the two leads were adorable and Eun Bin literally has no bad drama up to this point, even her boring shows are great, i just love her.
This is a highly recommended show, if you don't know what to watch just give this a shot, tbh the story is by no mean an original and this is the weakest thing about the drama but performances and chemistry between the whole cast makes up for that.

An OK adaptation
I didn't know this has a page on MDL, but i very much in love with the Manga, and for a while i didn't know about the adaptation, i dare say i watched it pretty late...This has no reviews here so i decided to write one for reference.
The movie covers pretty much the first 2 volumes of the manga (out of 7) with some major changes of course.
Now the good changes are:
1- He became more human after Emu broke his curse, stopping Koh from killing innocent people.
SPOİLER: skip this paragraph if you plan to read the manga ~~
İn the manga he kept killing people normally, innocent or guilty, and the rule of "killing anyone who find out their secret" still stands which is weird cause why would he not kill Emu if he didn't break the hypnosis.
2- Less nudity, which is kinda expected because it was excessive and unnecessary in the manga, also very not practical, imagine killing a bunch of guys while being completely naked lol 😂 here it's moderate and mostly carried on by Mark.
3- They skipped the whole Tiger lady part... İYKYK, i didn't even like her lol
Other changes that i didn't like.
1- Everyone's role became very shallow, and made the whole movie inconsistent, hadn't i read the manga, I'd probably be so lost while watching.
2- The weird slow motion action sequences, oh my goodness i was laughing the whole time and being a 90s movie doesn't excuse that at all.
3-Emu had no weight at all in the story which is a major change cause everything is basically involves her, and she didn't shot anyone xD
4-they changed some tiny details that was necessary like when Emu asked Freeman to sleep with her BEFORE killing her cause she was 29 and virgin, as he was too which was something significant for the story yet they made her only 20, and nothing about her or his past experiences.
Aside from that it was an OK movie, i wouldn't recommend it unless you are a huge fan of the manga and wants to see more ~
But judging it as a movie, it's not the best except for the most beautiful Mark Dacascos ❣️ everything else is pretty meh, i only rated it higher than it deserves cause I'm a hardcore fan of the manga ~

Brilliant first half, weird second one
I love the two leads they always know how to pick good dramas, this obe was so good i genuinely enjoyed it.However there were a few things that didn't sit quite well with me.
1-the weird entrance of Mekin and Ray and how they suddenly became two good Samaritans, helping Sorn for no reason.
2-the end, it's like they wanted to do something but opted out of it in the last second and chose to make it a fairy tale type of ending.
Be as it may, for me i guess it backfired a bit, because i for a second thought he is dead and that was a dream, you don't get to show the ML getting sick and fainting, say he want but can't meet Sorn, then show him well and kicking!!
The first two reasons don't deduce that conclusion.
3-i can't say that this is something bad, but just odd, the way the uncle disappears and appears according to need for the story lol
Aside from those things that was a solid show.
I guess I'll recommend it.

Lacks depth and character development
I understand this is only 8 ep and has a lot to say, but still the characters were very shallow and not interesting.Things i didn't like:
-The opening episode, the way they first introduced everyone, it's kinda weird that the main story is about the family focusing heavily on the 3 Brothers love lives yet we got to see them together for the first time in ep3
-the background of all the characters was either shown in later episodes or not shown at all, we have Silom, Nabneung, Nava and maybe dindin with proper background, while the rest had very few hints of their past, we don't know how the 3 got to be adopted and why.
-the whole nanneung sister thing is just annoying.
Things i liked:
-Chemistry was good, even with Us and Ta, who I've never pictured together tbh, Sky was also a pleasant surprise, he was the only one with interesting story , alas it didn't stay as interesting by the 5th ep or so.
-it was only 8ep, so if you find it boring you can still be able to finish it.
I wouldn't recommend it, it's not necessarily bad, but it could have been better~

Nice watch
I found an edit some potato-head out there has made of every time the HR busted the two leads in some inappropriate situation which was kinda funny so i decided to watch it.I'm glad i did, actually it's quite average, nothing spectacular about it but it was still a fun watch, a simple office romance with all the cliché ingredients.
Good chemistry, a more than ok acting skills and proper kisses, i don't think it's fair to ask for more, it's korean after all, also it's quite short so it's not boring and the story evolves quickly.
Considering that this is a KBL, it's quite a nice watch, give it a go ~

Not bad
I have a problem with KBLs, scenes tend to be moving so slowly, if you watch in 2X you won't miss a thing, even if you -like me- depends on listening and not subtitles.Stories however, are very simple and fun to watch, and they are getting better.
This one check the boxes!
Story is a simple campus romance, i like how they adressed the sexuality, without adding the "I'm only gay for you" sh!t, nor any homophobic comments.
Two people, fell in love, found out it was reciprocated then get together, add some issues here and there for the drama, solve the issues, the end.
Acting is nice, chemistry is good too, i wanted to see more of the two friends (side couple if i can call them that) but i also liked how they didn't explicitly made everyone gay in the show, like, it was obvious but not addressed.
However, it wasn't perfect, it was just simple and vute, but the slow scenes really put me off and acting wasn't exactly something to watch any boring story only to enjoy. Hence the rating.
That been said, if simple shows are your thing, go for it, it's actually nice ~~

Same ol'
Same with the previous installments it's a 10 mins kissing scenes for random couples.Stories are less crazy in this season, and episodes are much longer than the original 2-3 mins in the previous seasons.
My favourite is Idol secret kiss, because it was the most natural and emotionally expressive, I know it's weird to say that but some other episodes has FLs kissing with their mouths shut, if that's not screaming awkward, I don't know what is.
This show is basically kisses, if you are not comfortable kissing another person on camera, just don't take the job.
I'm not saying they have to french kiss to look appealing, but at least don't make it look awkward, because literally there is nothing else to do here except kissing.
That been said I think it's an upgrade from the previous ones because it's longer and the ideas/stories are better ~~
