The storyline is simple but entertaining, cute and fun
I think this series has gotten some unfair reviews. You should watch it for yourself. I like it alot. The plot is original and fresh.Its much better than the first series, but I suggest watching the first series before watching this one, because season 2 is a continuation of season 1.
The series is light hearted abd fun. The show is full of cute and fluffy moments. The leads are adorable with fantastic chemistry. The humor works and blends in well with the storyline.
The actors are extremly handsome and the NC scenes are very realistic and well acted. The actors are not afraid to get close and the kissing scenes are authentic.
I love the beautiful scenery. Japan is a lovely country and the storyline supports the tourism aspects. It makes sense to visit the tourist locations because one of the leads writes a destination articles.
Let me know if you agree in the comments.

Secret Lovers is like a warm cup of soup on a raining day! It gives you a warm & happy feeling!
Shraight forward love story about childhood friends turned lovers.A sweet endearing loving story that warms the heart and puts a smile on your face.
M/M couple's relationship is eashblished early on so hopefully the remaining episodes explores thier relationship dynamic.
The NC scenes and sweet moments are well done. The M/M couple have good chemistry, sultry yet endearing, passionate and sweet
The female supporting cast are entertaining. They add just the right amount of humor.
Nice OST which complements the storyline. There are no annoying sound effects. Thank You! 🥰
Easy to watch series, nice way to spend 30 minutes.
Longer episodes would have been better, at least 45 minutes each.
I suggest watching 2 or 3 episodes at at a time.

If your in the mood for a light-hearted romantic slice of life series then, I highly recommend adding this series to your wacth list. You'll be glad you did.

Loved the ending plot twist
Major Spoiler Alert! Don't read the last 2 sentences, until you watch the series. 😘Reset is truly one of the best BL series, If you enjoy 2 green flag adult men with good communication.
The series contains all the elements of a memorable show. Great story with interesting characters, lots of sweet loving moments, authentic displays of emotions and passionate steamy love scenses..
The M/M lead actors brought thier A- Game. Both actors were handsome, sexy, loving, compassionate, with the perfect touch of humor.
The supporting characters are interesting and entertaining. All the actors do an outstanding job bringing thier characters to life.
The scenery and visuals are stunning. The storyline and plot pionts are well written and directed. The production is flawless.
The reset was Tada's dying wish. He prayed for second chance to love Armin!

I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama Season 2

Frustrating
This particular series is not one of those series that can grabs your imagination or interest.It's a simple Japanese BL with oover used unsubstantiated anguished, average acting , and below average writiing.
iI's just too frustrating watching grown men unable to communicate, scared to express their emotions, and unable to talk to each other.
If you enjoy unnecessary anguished and grown men who are unable to communicate their feelings toward one another then this is BL series for you.

Jimmy and Sea have lost thier spark and the storyline didn't help.
The thrill is gone between JimmySea. I can see why this is their last BL series together. Time to put this pairing to rest.It a nice story, good production value, catchy OST, but very predictable, there are no surprises, which makes it average.
Of course Jimmy and Sea's relationship would be unbelievably healthy with zero toxicity.
Some GMMTV shows use a similar formula, the storylines and actors change but shows have a familiar feel.
By episode 2 we know:
1) about how many episodes before the first kiss
2) the level of intimacy that will be shown
3) if the parents and family will be supportive
4) if there will be a love rival ( who is never chosen )
5) if there will be an annoying ex girlfriend
6) or the cliche breakup to makeup plot point
This list could be longer because It's the same old format.

"Winner"Tanatat Kunaneksin was the only reason I watched the series.
I watched the series on the Tencent (WeTV). I'm a VIP member and I still had to pay extra to watch the series. I'll let you decide if the series is worth the extra fee.This is my first vertical series. I watched it because "Winner" was a lead actor in the series.
The storyline was simple and straightforward. The writing was nothing special.
I would like to see them in a better written story.
The acting was decent but not great by any standard. The M/M leads had good on screen chemistry,
There were cute moments, lots of kissing scenes, and 2 NC scenes. The kissing scenes and playful banter between the leads wws the best part of the series.
The OST had several familiar songs from other BL stories.

Better than a lot of short gay themed films
The movie was short but it tried to have a plot.There are lots of sweet romantic moments.
The leads had great chemistry with believable NC scenes.
Lots of passionate caring moments.
Like so many short gay films the ending is questionable.
I recommend this movie for the sweet and romantic scenes. The plot was just ok.

Very Sweet and endearing
A First Love Story is sweet snd endearing.M/M couple focused story with only 2 actors.
The short story has more emotional sweet moments than many longer series.
The two actor's play thuer roles perfectly.
Thier romance was very compelling and believable.
I wish the story was longer.

Dull as dish water
Lackluster storyline with zero suspense.Non-existent tension build-up.
The M/M couple are awkward with zero chemistry.
They are some sweet compassionate moments between the M/M couple., but there is no passion.
The NC scene in episode 8 falls flat void any emotion or sensuality.
The overbearing mother trope was ridiculous.
The scene was pointlessly thrown into the storyline. Lazy writing!
Mother's get the short end of the stick in to many BL series.
They are either died, dying, sick, overbearing, or evil. 🤣🤣🤣

Not hot or cold, lukewarm bland cup of tea.
So-so series. It's not good or bad. Middle of the road. Memior or Rati is not a terrible way to pass an hour if you have nothing else to do. But the story is not uplifting and it feels hopeless. I'm at episode 8 so maybe the story will get better.I'm a big AouBoom fan. Just love them, I also enjoy GreatInn so it's not the actors or thier chemistry.
Must be the characters because the writing isn't the issue either. The production value is decent and the OST is fine.
Just can't put my finger on what's missing besdes the characters are bland and stiff. Except AOU, he could play a broomstick and I would still love him. AOU is one of the most underrated actors on the BL scene. He and Boom deserve thier own series. They don't need a bunch of other leads like the upcoming Only Friends series. GMMTV needs to put them front and center.
Sidenote:
GMMTV is not having thier best season. So far the 2025 season has just been ok. Good but not great. In my opinion Boys Love is the best 2025 series from GMMTV, so far The problem is there have been several amazing BL series this year and GMMTV is faling behind the competition. I hope they can turn it around because GMMTV as a great star rooster. Very handsome, beautiful, talented actors and actresses. Most of them can dance too. Singing well that's another conversation.🤣🤣🤣 They sing as good as me and I can't hold a note.🤣🤣🤣
Just joking, I like thier songs, I watch thier music videos and concerts. Very entertaining!😍😍😍

Cinematic Masterpiece! So Beautiful!
Shine is just wonderful storytelling. The story is very compelling and interesting. The whole production is first class film making.The actors are performing at the highest level. The lead and supporting actors obviously worked very hard because the characters are so relatable, believable, and authentic.
The music and cinematography not only compliment the story, they elevated the story , leaving you wanting more.
The NC scenes are are sexy, bold, romantic and passionate.

Don't let bad reviews stop you from watching this series. Yor might be like me and love it.?
Doctor's Mine is really really good. Things are moving along and the main couples are developing thier relationships at a fast but believable pace.Extreme handsome leads, fire chemistry, decent acting, and tasteful NC scenes sprinkled with very sweet moments.
Open communication and straightforward displays of affection., are driving the.story foward.
The premise is old school University BL. There are even Engneer / Doctor couples. But these romances are very mordern and the relationship pacing is perfect. The couples are having lots of emotional and physical development that feel genuine and is very enjoyable to watch.
Yes there are some cliche tropes and serious red flag issues like rape, the intrusive mother trope, rejected females, violence and jealousy, but everyone has taken responsibility and apologized for their mistakes, forgiveness and reconciliation are always uplifting plot points and relationship arcs.
Very good production, simple yet enjoyable storyline, that puts a smile on my face. Hopefully yours too! Both cuoples are starting on a high note so there may be some twists and turns as the series progresses.
I highly recommend adding Doctor's Mine to your BL lineup.

10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40

Heart-warming romance with a light airy vibe
This is a nice sweet cute Japanese BL story.The pacing is slow and the relationship development is moving at a snails pace.
The storyline is authentic and believable, but it is going in circles, instead of progressing foward.
The M / M lead characters are realistic and endearing.
You can actually root for thier relationship.
The chemistry is different yet interesting.
Tons of sweet heartwarming moments.
The M/M leads have a good opposites attract dynamic but the relationship development is too slow.
