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 ~

Much better than expected
I remember wanting to watch this but i couldn't find it anywhere so I just added it to my PTW, then found it by chance a few days ago after i totally forgot about it.I watched it for the two leads and that was a pleasant surprise, the ML was so good and his character was amazing i even liked the evil husband lol the actor was good and somehow attractive.
My favourite scene was the "break up" scene, WDT was so lovely i felt so sorry, when he cried and begged i went "awwwwwwww 🥹🥹🥹" the whole scene, he was too adorable and cute in a miserable way lol and the swtich in his behaviour after that was spectacular.
I love that the character wasn't shy to beg for his love, we usually see MLs with power forcing their love on the FL when they refuse them, specially if they are multi-billionaires type of CEOs as in this drama's case, and he did to some extent but wasn't so extreme and kinda respected her final decision.
So despite all his power and wealth, he wanted her with her consent.
I'm just a sucker for powerful men with no male ego.
The whole show was good, i wish the ML had a proper reason for being that clingy towards the FL but it doesn't really matter, it's love.
The two leads were good together, but the intimate scenes lacks a bit, overall it was more than a decent watch, i would recommend it and I'll probably rewatch it again (if i could find it)

Why the low rating
I'm surprised that this is rated so low while some other BLs are not half as good and rated higher, then i noticed the duration and no. Of eps.I guess i watched the full version while others didn't, and that's why they judged only half of the show.
Anyway, the whole things wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable enough, if you have a couple of hours to spare on a light healing love story then give it a go.
I like the chemistry and the two leads, they looks so comfortable and good together, story is simple and repetitive but still done well.
Generally, it was good so... recommended ~

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 ~~

It needn't be that long
I watched a longer version that is 3hrs long, and I don't think it needed to be that long.After 2 hours we basically got everything and reached the happy end, all jealousy scenes were conducted and every secret from the past was spilled so there is nothing to keep the story going for the next hour.
Also the story has nothing much going on to begin with, just two very rich pair with some wounds from the past and childhood trauma that will be magically cured through each other as it should and that's it, we don't even have family disagreement or any sibling/work drama, literally nothing.
Not saying it's all bad, just a simple 1 and half hours would be more than enough to show everything perfectly.
The cast was good, I however couldn't see much chemistry between the leads, and tbh WHZ here was so bad, I like him generally but here he has shown almost no emotions at all, and as everyone said he was very monotonous, the FL was cute and that's it her character had some questionable moments, but overall she was ok.
Will i recommend it? Ummm probably, I won't.

I understand they wanted the dramatic approach of the story so they removed funny side characters and the silly interactions between the leads, basically that's most of POB charm, so this came out bland and too dramatic.
The two leads were ok, I'm not trying to compare them to the OG but their romance didn't convince me that much, the FL was meh most of the time she just hace this puppy eyes and i believe in POB the FL was smarter or they showed that clearly.
The female costumes were slightly odd, it's like they rediscovered female collarbones and decided to show that off. All. The. Time. ~~
My opinion about POB was mediocre, it was good it but had some flaws, this one isn't a better option if you want to see POB ho for it, don't settle for this ...

The korean version of "love lost and found"
I didn't know it was a remake when I started it, I kinda liked the Chinese version, and despite not wanting to watch the same story again, I didn't drop it.What I liked:
-Acting was good, not ground breaking or anything but it's a VD, the ML is to some extent an experienced actor, and the FL was ok too.
-They copied the OG scene by scene, and I'm glad they played it safe and didn't mess up anything.
What I didn't like:
- No chemistry between the leads, i couldn't see any love between them at all, and i don't want to compare the two versions because in the Chinese ver i could see the love in the ML eyes clearly.
- the way they copied the OG was a double edged sword as they didn't fix the other version's end which was the main complaint about it and chose to keep it as it is.
And I can't believe I'm actually saying this but the ML was extremely tall!!!
I can't possibly put that as something i didn't like, I'm not going to bully the guy for having a great physical shape, however, the height difference here wasn't cute and adorable as it should, the FL looked like a miniature next to him, in a very awkward way, their romantic scenes were awkward too, I believe the camera angles didn't help either, and the lack of chemistry made it even worse.
Overall, very mediocre and skippable, this has more negatives than the OG which wasn't perfect but least the romance was believable.

İ love those two
This is the only version that i watched for this story, because i like the leads tbh, and i do not think I need to check the rest anyway because the story is just not my cup of tea.However, the two leads were so adorable, this is their third collaboration, I've seen just two but i plan to watch the third, I like them together, CTK as a dorky character is just so adorable, i think he can do funny, i believe the whole topless scenes in the beginning were a bit too much and unnecessary but he kinda does that in every single drama he acts in so i guess that's his signature lol LXY is just the cutest here, i believe the story is just draggy and so cliché but it was entertaining, i barely skipped scenes and i didn't drop it even when i felt bored so it's bot that bad, and I'm glad it's a little less than 2 hrs.
Will i suggest it or watch it again?
Maybe, if you like the leads and don't .ind the lame syory, go for it, i don't think I'll visit it again but necer say never.

The continuation of a very light highschool love story
İ loved the manga and the live action movie and i believe this should have stayed a movie only, not because the series is bad, this was so sweet and cute but i don't think it needed to be a whole 12 ep series cut in half with each having it's own release date.That's just too many unnecessary steps for a very light teenager love story that needn't be this complicated.
This part is having all the juices of the story, like season one was only about the crush and how the FL started falling for the ML with the SML falling for her and so, it's only about one-sided love, and it ended where everything is arranged for their love story to begin.
No obstacles and both have already fallen for each other.
Here we start the entanglements, and we indulge more in the friendship between the two MLs.
İ don't know how much i liked this or if i genuinely like it or not, because i already love the manga and the movie and for me, watching this was just a nostalgic thing, watching love stories i used to like and relate to when i was younger.
That been said, and now that both seasons are done, i think it's a very good series for younger audience to binge-watch or simply people who loves the very light and innocent teen stories.

Because that makes everything else seems stupid, all the efforts can be thrown in the gutter if you don't have a consistent story, and let's be honest for a moment, the whole cast are not very professional or extremely talented to save this, I've seen some shows with bad stories but made enjoyable by the actors efforts representing their characters but that didn't happen here.
I'm not saying the cast was bad, they were ok, but not enough to save whatever that was.
I appreciate everything they did and how they tried to bring back an icon in the Chinese BL history but they didn't stick to the novel nor did they replace it with a good story.
I wish next time they will invest more in a proper idea, with better characters maybe and a good ending.
I want to say something positive about it but unfortunately aside from a really underdeveloped side characters' story, there was nothing interesting about it.
Definitely not recommended show, watch the OG (yes, the one that got stopped half way through, it's more developed than this) or read the novel, if you are interested.

A cute slow-burn school romance
A very light and innocent love story that developed naturally and gradually between two school mates in the most innocent and cute way.The only problem i got with it is that i didn't think the characters were interesting enough for me to like them, i liked the actors, they were lovely and everything, but i couldn't see much chemistry between them nor did i like the characters so i did find it a bit bland.
However, this checks all the boxes of a cute short and natural love story so i can't really judge it negatively.
So by my standards it was meh! But as a whole show it was nice watch.
Maybe if you are into these types of stories that don't have much going on but a one-liner sentimental relationship, you will like it ~~

A 30 mins story is stretched to be told through 12eps
I liked the story, and the first few episodes were really interesting, the way the animosity in the beginning changes into a mysterious visions and finding a way to stop someone's death, I dare say it got all my attention.However, up till ep 6 it was acceptable pace, then it was the same episode all over till the last ep where we get a very lame reason behind those visions and a very odd explanation for not killing the ML.
As a person who likes happy ends, I was satisfied, but generally speaking, I was waiting for a reason that would make sense, supernatural or not, at least if it's gonna be like that, put some efforts in explaining it better, not just a line told by a character at the last scene.
I like the two leads, of course JJ too he always makes me smile, though his character here was really forced as if they wanted some comedy so they just put JJ character in, he adds nothing to the story except the comedic relief, but it's always a pleasure seeing this twin or half of them so nothing to complain about here ~
Was it entertaining? Yes, but also I can fall asleep while watching, the story was fine the execution was too stretched, but overall nice watch.
You can skip it or watch it it won't make any difference ~~
