The worst, don't waste your time

I thought I would love this series because I love action/mafia BL series like Kinnporsche and The Heart Killers but I'm seriously regretting investing 6 episodes in this series – it just wasn't worth my time. Despite having an intriguing storyline that initially caught my attention, I had major issues with consistency that really took me out of the experience. In the first episode, Ken was introduced as a skilled fighter with 2 years of training, which made him seem like a formidable character. However, as the series progressed, later episodes showed him constantly losing fights, which felt like a huge downgrade. It was jarring to see him go from being capable and confident to struggling and helpless.

I understand that BL series don't always have happy endings, and I'm okay with that. But what frustrated me was Ken's drastic character inconsistency. It felt like the writers didn't follow through with the character development they set up in the beginning. I got fed up with the never-ending fights where Ken would inevitably lose – it started to feel like a running joke . At some point, I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to move on. For me, the inconsistency and repetitive plot points made it not worth the time.

Main couple no chemistry

The overall storyline of My Engineer is quite good, but I felt that the main couple lacked intimacy and chemistry. From the beginning, their relationship felt a bit shallow, and I just couldn’t connect with their dynamic. In contrast, I found Boss and Mek much more engaging, especially Mek, whose soothing voice really stood out to me.

I also enjoyed the story of King and Ram, though I was disappointed that their relationship didn’t progress further. I heard there were plans for a second season, but sadly, it was cancelled.

If you're looking for a BL series filled with romance and passionate moments, this might not be the one for you. It seems the actors had certain limitations and were only able to do what they were comfortable with, which is completely understandable. However, even without explicit scenes, strong chemistry between leads can make a big difference. Unfortunately, I just didn’t feel that spark in the main couple.

Funny, cute, beautiful cinematography

I'm not sure why this series has a low rating. Personally, I really enjoyed it! The cinematography is stunning, and the beach setting is absolutely beautiful. While it may not be a typical BL series filled with lots of kissing or bed scenes, I appreciated the charm of the main leads, Prem and Boun.

I especially loved the character development of the main couple. Their journey from enemies to slowly growing attached and eventually realizing their feelings for each other was heartwarming. If you're expecting a BL that focuses heavily on physical romance, this might not be the one for you—but if you're into slow-burn connections and emotional growth, it’s definitely worth watching.

As for the second couple, I didn’t quite feel the connection with the main storyline. Their link felt distant, even though their fathers are close friends. That said, the fathers added a lot of humor to the series, and I really enjoyed their presence.

One standout moment for me was the monkey in the coconut tree and throwing coconuts at Sun—it was absolutely hilarious! I have no idea how they got the monkey to do that, but it was such a fun and unexpected scene.

Overall, Even Sun is a light, charming watch with beautiful visuals and a cute storyline. Give it a try if you're in the mood for something different in the BL genre.

This is worth your time

I really love this BL series! It features one of the best hospital settings I’ve seen in any show. While Tin seems stuck in a time loop during the first few episodes and some scenes are repeated, I understand they were necessary to help viewers fully grasp the story.

Every episode is exciting, with no dull moments, and each character portrays their role exceptionally well.

The plot twist is unpredictable when Tin also dies in different time loops instead of Tol.

The only downside is the ending - kinda rush. It could be better if Tin and Tol would spend more time together (being a happy couple) or there is a sequel where they spend life together as a happy couple.

Nevertheless, I still recommend this series.

Filmed during Covid 19 Pandemic - Impressive

Although this series felt a bit cringey at times, I found the story really cute and charming. What makes it even more impressive is that it was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, the plot is unique and refreshing, especially given the limitations of that time.

I truly appreciate the dedication of the cast, especially the main characters, Kokoy and Elijah, who filmed most of their scenes by themselves. They even mentioned in interviews that the director only guided them remotely via video call, but still, it turned out great and realistic. Despite the unusual setup, both actors delivered excellent performances and portrayed their characters very well. As a Filipino, I highly recommend and support this series. I just wish they could have another series soon, but I heard that Elijah would need rest from acting as a BL actor, it's kinda sad as these two have great chemistry.

It's a masterpiece for me

I honestly don’t know why I’m so deeply invested in this series—no other BL show has ever come close. This is the only one that actually made me cry. It’s just so beautiful, everything from the cinematography, the main characters, the supporting cast, to the hauntingly perfect OST.

I’ve always loved historical BL series like To Sir, With Love, but that one lacked the intimacy between the leads. Unlike I Feel You Linger in the Air, where their love feels so raw and genuine, you can truly feel every emotion they have for each other.

I’m heartbroken that it’s over. For me, it’s an absolute masterpiece. I’m desperately hoping for a season 2.
