I’ve said this so many times and I’m gonna say it again! Give Fluke a lead role in a BL!!! And please have his partner be Gawin! They’re 2 actors that have chemistry with everyone they’re partnered up with and they’re both so deserving of having their chance to star in something (they even have the same birthday) - and we all know this Krist/Gawin thing isn’t going to be repeated - so give me my FlukeGawin BL GMMTV! Please!
This honestly has everything I want in a BL. It’s such a perfect little series. It’s so good I see it staying at the top of my list of Korean BLs in 2023 - it’ll be extremely hard to beat!
the first 2 episodes it really felt like something wasn’t quite clicking, but I think episode 3 really changed things and it felt like the first time this drama was really coming together, the leads suddenly seem to have much better chemistry and the undercover plot was really entertaining, because of that I had a lot of fun with episode 3 and I’m actually excited for episode 4 to come out!
Lee Do Hyun always getting those older roles! But he does hate a more mature vibe - like after filming Sweet Home everyone in the cast thought Song Kang was the maknae and LDH was like “hello?”
I don’t know how I have this much strength, but I have managed to hold off on watching ep4 till now. I’ve been watching episodes 1-3 on repeat for the past 2 weeks!
so so so much better than I was expecting - I didn’t realise that this would essentially be an adorable roadtrip series about 2 people remembering why they love eachother - it’s so addictive- I couldn’t stop watching from episode 3. And I remember when it was airing people were complaining about Mix’s acting - but Mix is phenomenal in this - in my opinion pretty much equal to his incredible performance in 1000 stars. This series has really cemented for me that EarthMix is another pairing that have so much natural chemistry and such a special bond that if you put them infront of the camera together (no matter how bad the script or how many technical issues there are) they are going to make something so fun to watch. Also Jan is a favourite of mine and she again proved why I love her so much!
I started Star in my Mind thinking it’d make the wait easier, but I’ve already finished it! Now I need another…
I loved About Youth! Definitely one of my favourite hs dramas - it was actually ridiculous how adorable that one was. I’m thinking about giving Cupids Last Wish a go, but I know the reviews aren’t amazing.
I think part of the reason I’m loving this so much is that we’ve had a year filled with steamy series like KinnPorsche and Love in the Air (which I loved) but it’s so nice to have something a bit different with a series like this (and like My School President) that are just so cute and silly and sweet. they’re my serotonin series for the week!
oh my goodness! the leaked trailer! it’s exactly like the manhwa - so many scenes are shot exactly like the scene was drawn! I’m even more excited now. I really thought they’d skip over some of the darker elements, but definitely not - they even showed the pot! Tae Hyun is such a dark character, but he always treats everything like a joke - I was worried about Ye Chan being able to pull off such a complex character, but it looks like he is absolutely killing it! I’ll be interested to see how they end it whether it’s the (semi) uncertain ending of the manhwa or the more complete ending in the side story…although they did say they’re planning to shoot a side story in January! if it’s the side story from the manhwa I will loose my mind!
I saw so many negative things about this that I almost gave it a miss, but I started it on a whim and I’m loving. this! it’s so sweet! I actually think Dunk is doing a pretty good job, he’s helped by the brilliant natural chemistry he has with Joong too. I would like to see Joong have a more animated and cheeky role in the future though. He can do that so well and I’d like to see dunk have a chance play off that too. I’m even more excited to see them in Hidden Agenda now, it looks so so tropey- I feel like it’ll be a lot of fun
I think this would be better as a binge watch. I loved it at the start - the humour was brilliant, but I really lost interest as it went, too many nonsensical misunderstandings that were drawn out over weeks, still overall good!
I really want to watch episode 4, but I also know that waiting 2 weeks for episode 5 is going to kill me, but if I hold off on watching episode 4 the wait won’t feel so long, but I really want to watch it now because it looks so adorable!
I was trying to figure out where I new the cameo talking with Jean in ep2 from! It’s one of the KinnPorsche directors! I looove her! She also used to work with P’Aof a lot - I love that the bl world is all connected!
I think this is my least favourite of this writers work, which is still better than the majority of BLs. I just spent the first half of the drama confused about what the leads felt for eachother, so I didn’t quite get where they stood with each other, I really liked them when they became a couple though, very sweet but also very natural. My other issue was that I love Alex and RJs dynamic, they had most of my favourite scenes, but they only had at most 1 scene a week and I kept waiting for them to had more because they’re on the poster, so I think the lack of them left me a little disappointed, but still good overall.
I’m obesssed! this is everything I wanted it to be and more - the leads chemistry is top notch and their feelings are growing so organically even though there’s this fantastical plot- loving the fantasy element too!
my face hurts from smiling so much. This series is officially my happy place. So far definitely my favourite GMMTV series of the year - I don’t know how I’m supposed to wait a whole week. it’s not just that l had low expectations and they were exceeded like what could have been the case for the first episode, my expectations each week are so so high now, but it’s still exceeding them!
