Dengan premis yang cerdas, seharusnya series ini bisa lebih ciamik kemasannya tanpa ada embel2 menjijikan.
Sehabis episode 3, jujur aja gw bingung ini series mau dibawa kemana. Karena seharusnya kalo ditelisik lebih, series ini bisa menjadi lebih chaos pas dibagian akhir episode 3 itu.
Ah sudahlah.
*terpaksa review pake bahasa indonesia, biar puas* :”

The love triangle that I hoped is never existed, they were just teasing without further execution. the story of the three of them, if it explored, could be an interesting thing to follow till last second.
In Indonesian:
Pilot yang menggoda ternyata hanya pemanis belaka. Episode berikutnya seperti berjalan ditempat, terlebih setelah lebih dari 4 episode.
Cinta segitiga yang saya harapkan tidak pernah ada, mereka hanya sekedar teasing tanpa dieksekusi lebih lanjut. Padahal kisah mereka bertiga kalo digali bisa jadi satu hal yang menarik untuk diikuti.

I almost gave up on filipino series (at some point), but suddenly the offered this series with a free trial for a whole month in IwantTFC. So yes, I tried and I like it.
For me, this is the best filipino series of the year (so far). I am still waiting for gameboys season 2!
And as usual, filipino series always entertained me with their songs. Those original soundtracks still ringing in my head.

The story of 2 men raising children is nothing new actually, but this series manages to pack it up pretty well.
Although in the journey there are many things that are not really important to be exposed too long, coupled with cinematography that seem immature. Make this series looks like a “short time project” with minimal costs.
However, a pleasant soundtrack is one of the positive thing about this series.
In Indonesian:
Sebuah cara yang buruk untuk mengakhiri sebuah serial.
Cerita tentang 2 orang pria yang membesarkan anak bukanlah hal yang baru, akan tetapi series ini berhasil mengemasnya dengan cukup baik.
Walaupun dalam perjalanannya banyak hal-hal yang sebenarnya tidak begitu penting untuk bisa diexpose terlalu panjang, ditambah dengan pengambilan gambar yang terkesan tidak matang. Membuat series ini nampak seperti sebuah project saja dengan minimnya biaya.
Namun, soundtrack yang begitu enak didengar menjadi satu hal positif dari series ini.

Although it cannot be denied that Kitty's acting is still extraordinary, but somehow I felt that there is something missing that I didn't get from this season like what I felt in the previous one.
It’s not bad, at all. It juts....
In Indonesian:
Saat kehadiran James pada episode pertama, saya langsung merasa yakin bahwa sequel ini akan berjalan sangat baik. Namun apadaya, episode lainnya justru melemag hingga akhir. Ternyata kekuatan cerita pada season 1 masih tidak bisa dikalahkan.
walaupun tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwa akting Kitty memang masih luar biasa, namun entah kenapa saya merasa ada yang tidak saya dapatkan dari season ini seperti apa yang saya rasa pada season sebelumnya.

Although not all the stories seem special, but some episodes cannot be denied that they were really great.
Even though the quality of the acting of some actors were just mediocre, however most of them were extraordinary.
The music that played on some “critical” moments was so "beautiful", making this series so ffff enjoyable, especially the unforgettable those "revenge" moments.
In Indonesian:
Meskipun tidak semua cerita terkesan istimewa, namun beberapa episode memang tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwasanya itu sungguh spesial.
Meskipun kualitas akting beberapa aktor terlihat biasa saja, akan tetapi sebagian besar sungguh luar biasa.
Musik pengiring yang begitu “indah”, membuat series ini menjadi begitu menyenangkan itu bisa dinikmati terutama dimoment “balas dendam” yang tak terlupakan.

The quality of acting of the actors were good and the conflict felt real, it made me get swept away in the story that is currently flowing.
I was thinking, is it possible to happened to me in the future? 😭
In Indonesian:
Cerita yang terlalu realistis di jaman sekarang ini membuatku menghela nafas saat menontonnya. Kalo kita balik dan bandingkan dengan salah part dari history franchise yang mengangkat kisah seorang single father yang berjuang demi anak dan kekasihnya, film ini bisa dibilang lebih masuk akal untuk bisa diresapi logika.
Kualitas akting para pemain yang bagus dan konflik yang tak dibuat-buat, membuatku ikut terhanyut dalam cerita yang sedang mengalir.
Aku jadi berpikir, apakah mungkin beberapa tahun kedepan akan terjadi hal seperti ini padaku?

I didn’t say that this series was bad, it just when. it came to the end I felt this series less interesting than before.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea and the story itself, it just another aspects of this series didn’t match my criteria. I always believe that Tul’s performance could be better.
But overall, I kinda miss the chemistry between those two. And you know what? I hope I would see more of Tat and Sorawit. Please Thindertv, make their own series 😭😭😭

The idea of the story itself is different than others BL series that released in 2020, but with a great execution this series become greater and get a line with another top 5 series of that year. This is also because of the supported from the acting of the main players who are quite capable of their characters,
Through the first 3 episodes I always got a hype of 2gether, even the smiley face that I made was the same when I watched that one.
I think for this year, I will trying to watch more series from East Asian Countries.

Honestly, Japanese are the least county that I want to see abour ther movies or series. Except somebody give me a hundred reasons to watch them. But every time I watch japanese movies or series none of them are bad. So I think this could be my way back to love their cinematic.
In my experience, I would agree some of the points from the series especially from Itou’s perceptions. It feels like, I’ve been there long time ago with my very first “love”. Actually, one of my friend said like Itou did.
Now I need more series for another distractions 😩

I was literally screaming, feeling disappointed like Tian was with himself rather than Sheng Wang. I always brace myself when watching Taiwanese BL series, but this is the first time I felt truly terrible. I was about to sleep right after watching the season finale, but they made it very hard for me to close my eyes. I had to take two Advil and watch some porn to finally fall asleep.
I don't really care if a series ends in a sad way, as we're used to seeing in Taiwanese dramas. However, leaving unfinished business is the worst feeling you could give to fans. I wouldn't mind if they were trying to convince us that there’s another season coming, but they still should have wrapped up the show properly.
I love this series, especially with the common theme they explored. I initially questioned why they repeated the "step-siblings" concept again, but as time went on, I fell in love with it more than I ever expected. We don’t really need a side couple—their friendship reached another level compared to any BL series I’ve seen. Even Qi Jia Hao’s character was quite convincing.
But once again, I can never forgive this series for how they wrapped up an entire season with such uncertainty.

One think that I love about this show is that chemistry between Ai and Songkhram. I profoundly in love with their relationship. But their story was awful. I don't understand how the fight between 2 dorms work, but they didn't give us any detail about the real "competition". If they tried to make such a romeo-juliet story but based on dormitory, It didn't work.
Another thing that I really hate is the behind story about Songkhram's feeling towards Ai. They told us that He's been in love with him since his first year, but I didn't see any effort from him. They even skipped those 2 years without telling us anything whatsoever.
I wish Bank and Earth had another chance in another series. They honestly deserved a great show!

From the very start I didn't have much expectation from this show, I tried to put my hope as low as possible. Turn out, even with my low expectation this show really upset me with its quality. I didn't say anything about all actors performances, Sea-Jimmy-Neo-Aou-Pepper-Boom were absolutely amazing actors. And the connection amongst them were really beautiful, especially Sea and Jimmy.
But I guess, their performances still could not save this series in general. The whole show actually filled with emptiness, lack of characters, too many cliche romances, and A LOT of annoying commercials.
I can't say more, since I read so many great reviews on this show. But I've seen some comments that really put a rage of hateful. lol
For me? This show is one of the series that I will forget easily.

The story is actually pretty simple, with almost nothing new they offered like any other series. However, the way they directed this show turn my head (and heart) around in every single episode. I almost believe this series might be ended up "sadly", or at least different than I expected from beginning. Yet, I fell in love with the last 3 episodes.
Even though, they all are look bit older as a high school student but their performances were spectacular. It's just... I usually fond of original soundtracks from Korean series, but this series has nothing easy listening music that could stuck in my head.

The chemistry amongst those two were remarkable, especially every episodes when Shi Lei’s Mom around. The coming out scene made me speechless, i don’t know how to describe it but it felt truly great. I even made my eyes wet even though the tears didn’t drip. lol
But, the last 3 episodes ruined every development that they built from the start. The ending was sweet, but still I hope something good came up no matter what.
