This and Sammy's Children's Day release this year are both from HK. At least that's what I noted from MDL. I'm not multilingual, but the speech in Sammy's Children's Day (unless it's dubbed) is notable to me compared to Chinese or Taiwan BLs.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching something new coming out of the HK production views of BLs, be it censored or not or glossed over as 'bromance'.
It's close to the finale, so episode 12 brought us more actions between the police and the killers.
Idk much about criminology, but I feel that this series lacks the logic behind the killers and the victims. The illogical birth days versus the birth dates randomly fall on everyone in the PD and the YT team.
The writer(s) ignore criminal theory and beef up the series with the questionable reasons for the killers to take another seven victims and have turned into a weak plot to the story.
Revealing the father and son and the zombie nurse as the killers in this 12th episode adds chaos to the suspense. There are superfluous scenes and scenarios that make me lose focus on the primary reason to follow this series. Did I watch the previous 11 episodes for the mystery, the suspense, or the romance!?
I don't need to rewatch the series to find out what I've missed in solving the investigation for the killer(s). What were the reasons to show the deaths that happened in the interrogation room. Why show the corpse in the freezer at a random abandoned site. Why add the mystery in the cold storage at Santi Tham only to show Bom sneak attack King!? Now we have corpses and live victims (Idk whether it's the same place where the first seven bodies were found in episode 1 or yet another site). No further need for cold storage!?
Sorry to avid fans that I bash this series. I'm sure that I'm not the only one complaining here.
😆 Mafia style of taking over GMMTV. Peach second hand embarrasses. And the cameos of GMM's bl stars. What a way of going all out in the end.
Side note: I hafta say that the rooftop proposal is quite unique, from singing, broadcasting, and drone texting. Nothing cliche about it, like fireworks and whatnot.
I am disappointed in the development of episode 12. I know this is fiction. However, even dummies could see that a stab wound shouldn't put a patient in a coma. It's laughable that Ice singing woke Saint. Lol, they're not Disney's characters.
Another disappointment is dumbing down the college president, Saint's father. I was expecting that after witnessing Ice intercepted Ming from hurting his son he would wizen up. He's a high scholar supposedly with wisdom who decidedly locked his son up and away from the person who could bring him happiness.
Idk what episode 13th will bring us. Already, this is dragging by adding a sponge bath for a stab wound Saint. I guess it's necessary to quell or quench the fans with a shirtless Saint leading into an NC scene. 🤷🏻♂️
Personally, I love how honest the writer presented sexual orientation in this film. What I mean is the bs in Thai-bl defines "Love is Fluidity." I do believe in bisexual and homosexual, but what's with fluidity!? Male, female, dog, cat, ghost and alien!?
For once this film from China surprised me. Clear as daylight, it's truly not ED. It's simply sexual orientation. In this case, he couldn't get it up until he exploded in the hands of his doctor on the examination table .
Also, it's not because he was busily dedicated to training on the race track to maintain the 'Race King' title that he hadn't dated. Hadn't it occurred that he's not into girls and not met the right one!? Just like the gay urologist said, "I do like men, but that doesn't mean I don't have any standards." Thus the first time the Race King and the Gay Urologist lock eyes there started some kind of biochemistry stir within them for each other. Though they locked eyes, I can't say that it was "Love at First Sight" since it was only one-sided for the doctor. His patient didn't come around till after many meetings in the guise of treatments.
This has become my favorite gay smutty comedy. It is worth my rewatch(s) value. 😁
Kad Ploysupa looks younger than his role in Bad Guy My Boss to play big brother. As for James, he looks a bit pudgy compared to when he was in Bad Guy My Boss.
Both of James roles as Jimmy and Elys are playboys. Again, his role is to chase after his counterpart. Seeing Jimmy flirting with both Toh and Fah also reminds me that Elys had a kept man Khimhan while he was seducing Pat.
I shouldn't be comparing their roles. I'm just happy to see them together again.
It's laughable that both Jimmy and Toh shed tears after breaking up a less than 3 month relationship.
Sorry, the script, the plot, and whatever the goal of this story are just bad and all over or out of places. The NC scene is forced so is the back hug at the kitchen counter, the foreplay.
I am losing interest in Book and Mud stereotypical falling in and out of their fresh start in relationships, boring. Poor Ten who has to endure Mud sighing and huffing.
Did I miss the part where Book was assigned to investigate professor Mint by anyone!? All of a sudden Alex entered the story then Saint got a message from Book who unearthed clues (wasn't that a confidential file but the admin allowed Book to access!?). Anyway, the group of crime fighters met, then plans and roles were laid out.
In my opinion, the boys they cast as Mint's victims are not the kind of pretty boys I imagine are worthy of professor Mint's attention.
I'm not surprised that the police are not there. Still I feel no tension in the conflict between Mint, Saint and Alex. Predictably Ice, the protagonist, had gone tin place of the police. Tsk tsk...
The preview for episode 12 ruins the cliffhanger that is supposed to leave us praying for Saint and Alex's safety under the threat of Mint's knife.
I apologize in advance to the bl fans who find my opinion offensive.
I commend the actors or maybe the director or acting coach who executed Iljo and Jeonghan roles so well.
This has become one of my favorite K-bl romance dramas. Even though there were many romantic moments, the words said or not said and the broken promises exchanged between them were heartfelt to me rather than the "I Love You" expression.
Now that this is over, I'm waiting for the next K-bl that will top Thundercloud Rainstorm.
Shameless me was so ready for the Tent scene but Damn! The director says "U had enough from Charlie and Babe"…
😅 I think it would be difficult to film in the tent. So the director passes on setting up another tent after it collapses and forgoes the passionate scenes. 😬 😁
This feels more like a K-drama than a K-bl for me. The quality of the production and the acting/performance are on par with a regular drama series. Everything else is just as excellent, the filmography, sounds, sets, costumes, etc.
Episode 5 for me fills with tension during and after their date together. Their outing doesn't feel like Richard Gere splurging on Julia Roberts. The reason is Iljo's hesitation agreeing to date, fully commits to Jeong Han. Instead of giving a reason, Iljo circumvents by admitting to date with condition. Ugh!
Episode 6 reveals the bts to Jeong Han about Iljo with Lee Jeong In and with the Seo family. What a blow to Jeong Han to know the truths (and to me as well).
The dilemma is as Aera0804 has commented below, "whom should I support 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ for the sake of jeonghan I don't want them to breakup and for the sake of iljo i want them to take break....".
Who's to contest for!? How will this end happily!? Anyone fears heartbreak!?
this is the reason i didn't like how considerate Shizuma was, how he tried to understand Minato's b*tchy behavior…
Minato frustrates me as well. Shohei is younger than Minato, and he is more decisive which is better than Minato.
I am tolerant of Minato because he's not matured and has not been in a relationship. Minato has a game mindset that only he could win. First he lost his brother to Shohei. Then he fell for the man who he was supposed to dump. He lost in his own game.
In this episode 7, Minato started playing mind games with Shizuma Keeping him waiting when he himself lied about being busy. That was okay with him until Shohei moved in with his brother. Now Minato is truly lonely. Just when he got Shizuma to spend time with him and will be sleeping over, Yuka's phone call for help tugged with his emotion.
I understand that he doesn't want to be by himself thus he's gone to drink with his buddies. He was fussy with not giving in to Shizuma when he was asked to leave. And he wouldn't let his friends' hands on Shizuma. I can't stand it when out of his drunkenness, he confused and said unpleasant things to Shizuma.
Minato is going to be so unregretful the next morning. Tsk tsk tsk...
I get that the end has Win revisited Alan and then took him away because of their promise.
For me the mystique is Alan uncomfortably looking at himself in the mirror long enough to see the reflection of his real self.
But why Dr. Nil won't accept Alex? Could it be that he also has some kind of terminal ailment? I hate when they talk in riddles instead of directly giving the real reasons.
Episode 9 had me invested more in Kit and Seen than I was with Saint and Ice. Maybe it's because of Sea's short film that wraps up in one episode. And that short film mirrors Saint and Ice's own story.
The side couple Book and Mud story moves faster than Ice and Saint.
Sorry, I'm not into gl so I won't mention Sea and Lanee.
Ice and Saint story is dragging because they talk in riddles so much instead of saying outright they like each other. Talking about the letters they wrote as a column in the same magazine they both like reading is pretty much like confessing to each other.
So what's in store for the remaining 4 episodes????

I'm not an expert in cars, but those look like vintage automobiles that are definitely not made in Japan cars.
The subway station, the storefronts on the streets do not have any Japanese characters on them.
