I'm loving this series. Pond and Phuwin working on other series has done wonders for them. Their chemistry is amazing and feels so natural now. Pond's acting has also improved. He no longer looks so stiff.
As a lyOn I want my boys to be successful and have a million opportunities to showcase their talents. Unfortunately, I don't think acting is a talent that most of the members have. With some time and more training, I'd bet Kyunbin could do well in dramas though. As for the drama itself... It's honestly not the worst series I've ever watched. It's also no where close to being the best series either. It does get a couple of imaginary bonus points because I did want to know how it ended (even if that ending ended up annoying me). But would I recommend it? Nope.
This show was such a disappointment. It has so many actors that I love but the story was all over the place. I normally enjoy the more dramatic shows GMMTV puts out but this one was not worth the time.
I have to say this show is NOT at all what I thought it was going to be. From the trailers, I figured this was going to be a messy soap opera type romance. Like the female leads were after some kind of revenge for the guys being playboys but they fall in love. But by the end of episode 3, Lee's character is in love with a girl from his childhood and by episode 6, one of Nanon's characters has gone from declaring he'll never fall in love to being engaged. Hopefully, all this happening is just the writers setting up for a bigger storyline cause I don't see how there can be 16 episodes of what's currently going on.
I'm going to give this show a chance because I love the original so much and I love Tay & New but I swear to God if they change Fujisaki's character (played by Jan since she is the only female listed in the cast) I will fly to Bangkok and punch everyone involved with the show in their throats. Fujisaki is the one of the few asexual/aromantic characters I have ever seen that was not treated as different or weird. I will not let her legacy be ruined.
This was okay. There were parts that were good, some parts were bad; overall it was an average show. Unfortunately, it didn't make me love Pond and Phuwin any more than I already did but it did make me excited to see Perth and Chimon together in their drama later this year. Also, it was kinda hard to not compare this show to Where Your Eyes Linger. No one has officially said it (or at least I haven't seen anything) but it's obvious that this was inspired by WYEL. And WYEL is a high bar to pass.
Got7 is my final winner!! I could have told you that before I even did this tbh. Got7 is one of my ult groups and the first kpop group I ever listened to. They're the whole reason why I even like kpop.
I'm so sad. My choices are betraying me. Jimmy vs Sea, Jeff vs Bible, Mile vs Apo. It just kept getting worse for me: Zee vs First, Bible vs Apo. Then the heartbreaking final round of First vs Apo (Apo was the final winner). I'm so upset that my decisions have lead me to choosing between the love of my life and my other love of my life. :D
Gong Yoo vs Kim Jae Wook..... well damn. It's like watching Coffee Prince all over again and loving Han-gyeol but also being a bit obsessed with Sun-ki.
Even though I'm picking all the choices I was not expecting Enemies to lovers vs Friends to lovers. lol My end pick was Unrequited Love though. I do love me some heartache. :D
Fun!!! My final result is Bad Buddy. Am I surprised by that? Not at all; I still have to resist the urger to rewatch the series whenever I'm bored. lol
Overall, I liked this series even if it's just a way to advertise the drink. Ep.1 - My favorite of the three. It gave some backstory to what I already know from Bad Buddy. Milk and Love could be the start for GMMTV doing GL shows. Ep. 2 - I do like Dew and Tu and their story could have been interesting but it wasn't one that could easily be told in a hour. It felt rushed and like details were being glossed over. Also, Tu does this thing where whenever her character gets upset, she yells. I noticed it near the end of F4 Thailand and couldn't not notice it here. Ep. 3 - The story was cute but a bit blah. I just love seeing EarthMix together.
Did I miss it or have Book and Bonus never actually kissed? Like lips to lips kiss. They didn't kiss in Gen Y The Series but that was part of their storyline. And I'm pretty sure they didn't in this one either. They have good chemistry together, I'm just a bit confused as to why they keep being partnering up together in BLs if they can't even kiss.
There are three shows I'd like to see given a Kdrama remakes that already had some not so great American remakes. 1. Being Human - A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost all live together in the same house, all trying to live a "normal" life. Part comedy and part horror 2. Skins - a drama that focused the things teens actually go through but are considered controversial like sex, drugs, abuse, eating disorders, mental illness. It might be too much to ask for it to be set in high school like in the original but doing it with characters that are in their first year of university could be good too. 3. The Inbetweeners - a coming of age sitcom about four male high school friends just living their lives, trying to become some of the cool kids and get a girlfriend.
The title of this drama was very fitting. It's only 12 episodes long but it took me around a month to finish. And that was only because I'm an ahgase and I started watching for Youngjae. The thing that bothered me the most with the plot was once Sewon found that Jamie liked her, her whole opinion on him changed. In the beginning she thought he was annoying and high maintenance but then she knows he likes her and so she HAS to like him back. It all felt very middle school/junior high.

This is easily a top 5 of GMMTV's non-BL dramas.
