A fluffy chocolate cupcake!
Taking you to the feeling of eating a fluffy cupcake, with only smiles and giggles to come by, Kieta Hatsukoi is a chill but really enjoyable watch. It is humorous, witty, but warm and heartfelt.The four main actors brought phenomenal performances as each upholds to the characters they are portraying. Hats off to Shunsuke and Riko!
The story accomplished what it promised giving out hunger for the audience to come back and indulge once again to the beauty of young love.
Moreover, the theme songs are worth to sing along, too! With Snow Man's Secret Touch alluding to Ida's calm but sure love for Aoki and Naniwa Danshi's Ubu LOVE reflecting to the latter's brightness and lightheartedness, a perfection is up on your way!
Kieta Hatsukoi is an absolute tread to the growing sensation of BL genre!

You will watch it for the hype, but is it worthy?
Coming from 2016 Train to Busan and its 2020 sequel Peninsula, 2018 Rampant, 2019 Kingdom, and 2020 Alive, K-Zombie variety undeniably is a top-tier. Molding a story that synthesizes actuality and thrill, K-Zombie films and series are definitely no-skip.All of Us Are Dead gives you a notion of being trapped in your school amidst an apocalypse and that's it, we are, once again, to take the same route of emotions, human nature, and morale.
In this perspective, multiple altitudes of development and headway await in its potential, but you will end up looking for the main course.
This is what the show offers: nothing is drawn for one purpose, each connects, each counts, each is just a part of a whole another madness.
Its 12-hour sail provides crammed and lengthy subplots, but amazingly delivers a visual harmony and topnotch performances by the actors.
Imagine a teen-oriented popular afternoon show, but there are zombies in it; this is what All of Us Are Dead brings to the flourishing violent and gore, but socially aware and genuine category of Korean Dramas.

Ulan is an experience
Watching this as someone who enjoys extensive utilization of visual technique and subtle works of imagination, Ulan delivers a story for women to ask, appreciate, and love themselves.The story is a reminiscent of that one afternoon when you are lost, so you look for shelters, you look for roofs to be under of to ease your longing of your own home, of your own self.
This point of view takes another point where Filipino culture is served through innocent storytelling.
Personally, it takes sincerity to produce an art piece without leaning on what people will say, rather you are on your own. Ulan did that.

It's a breakthrough for Korean BLs
I have never been stressed than ever after watching this show.Deviating from its source material, as I did not read it, the series stands as one of the promising and daring series in the genre. I felt like I was not watching a “testing-the-waters” type of show, as it kept me on the edge of my seat every second.
What I really love the most about this is the pacing and storytelling. It has a mix of flashbacks and present timeline, which irritates me most of the time, but here, it works. This device is not just to fuel the plot, but it adds more to the story and motivation of each character.
The production? It's top-notch. Everything works because every detail and nuance has been weaved in each strand of the plot and sequences. It does not feel like a low-budget show.
We can't really talk about this show without paying attention to the performances of the actors. for having a great, compelling, and effective script, requires the same of the actors. They all killed their roles and it adds nothing but weight to why the show worked and successfully emerged as one of the strong contenders for Best BL this year.
This show set a new standard for KBLs, and has given growth to the genre.
