your review made me watch it and I'm so thankful for that!! 🙏🏻 It's been on my watchlist for ages but i was undecided wether to give it a chance or not. I'm so glad i did!! 😭
literally had to force myself to finish it lmao, it started off pretty good i'd say but oh boy... the ending is…
also, I've never seen such passionless, floppy kisses like ever 😭 I get that they were going for the cute romantic vibe, but literally zero chemistry / passion, like kissing a brick wall 😭 makes me wonder if they even liked each other 🥲
literally had to force myself to finish it lmao, it started off pretty good i'd say but oh boy... the ending is so bad (especially the editing, at that point i didn't even care about the story anymore xD). I'm not sure wether I should laugh or cry, I feel like story wise, it wasn't bad per se, but the execution really was 😂😭
I'm a bit confused, didn't they mention that they both had girlfriends? what happened to them? why does it just get thrown into when there's no further elaboration on it? felt a bit weird since it seemed like they had 0 interest / feelings for their partners??
tbh it was the whole dog conflict that came totally out of nowhere that threw me off how to rate it. Up to then,…
frr it would've been zero issues if he had told him the moment he woke up, or at least when he saw the picture! sure they'd be sad, but at least it would be like "oh well, but thanks to the dog this guy's alive now" and move on! Ain't no way he'd hold a grudge for literally being saved?? 😭 but keeping it a secret was so unnecessary!
BROOOOO I've never been so conflicted and confused what 😭 How do I even rate this?? Okay first things first: Cinematography = amazing 10/10 Actors / Acting = amazing !!! 10/10 Storyline = quite original, interesting concept! 8/10 Pacing = ABSOLUTE GARBAGE 😭 0/10 Storytelling = bad 😭 0/10 Music choice = 0/10 !! I'd give the production 1/10 (the one is for the beautiful shots)
like.. the concept is beyond beautiful, i really like the characters and their dynamic. The atmosphere is just breathtaking, the food, nature, bestest friend character, really, everything is absolutely amazing! But the way they paced and produced it is just absolutely horrendous 😭 It would be much better if they'd put everything in a movie instead, and not rush / cut it so weirdly. Also no need for all the plot twists and trauma dump, it was already great the way it was 😭
So yeah, production left me a bit stunned lol, such a wasted potential 🥲
okay so as others have been complaining, there are a few plot holes / logical flaws, BUT I have to say, regardless of that, the series is amazing ????
I have started it genuinely having no expectations, thinking it would be just one of those cheesy BLs, but lemme tell you, they DELIVERED! The story is interesting, so much that I was glued to the screen, not able to skip anything. The characters have an actual personality, backstory and don't deal with others bs! The acting and chemistry are incredible and the kisses!!!!!! *mwuah* 🤌🏻 makes you believe that the characters are actually into each other! I really loved the twists and progress of the story, and to finally have a protagonist that does NOT go for the asshole type (which seems to be a common trope in korean dramas). I wish there would be a few more episodes tho, the ending left me a little bit hanging (although theoretically finished). I'd love to see a bit more of the characters, they're so good together 🥺
I'm genuinely (positively) surprised and would recommend this drama! Seriously, the story is so good and it's made insanely well!
I haven't watched anything thai in a long time, so I had no expectations (I started bc i kept seeing clips). But why is this drama kinda banger?? :D Also, I need Koh to sTOP CALLING ALREADY AHH THROW THAT F PHONE AWAY 😩😩 I can see in which direction the story will go lol but pleASE let Pheem have at least one, just ONE bite of it 😭 Seriously their chemistry is insaaane!!🔥🔥 I need Koh to sit this one out lol (also pheem is so fiine 😭)
conflicted! 🫠 on one side, I really liked the storyline! I don't think it's related to BL at all lol since it's portraying the struggles of being in a workplace, self expectations, being anti social and so on. I liked the way they presented it and many moments felt very relatable. It's highlighting the issues and struggles of an introvert working in an extroverted work field, and also japanese work culture.
now to the BL part: I liked the dynamic between both MLs and their size difference ahh 😩 . But they gave us crumbs, CRUMBS 😭 As someone who read the Novel, I was so excited, only to be let down by Ogami's (not shown???) Character development, let alone the romantic and nc scenes 🥲... Like either give us the scenes or not but don't shoot it and then nOT LET US SEE 😭 like whats the point of that?? (referring to the wide shots, like whyy). Also, the chemistry between the actors is good, LET THEM HAVE A PROPER KISS 😭😭 that was disappointing man, ngl. who directed this?? 🥲 It didn't even have to be explicit or overly done, but I feel like they were truly lacking here. The romantic parts felt very half hearted done😐 But I blame the production and direction for this, the actors were great!! and I'd love to see more dramas / movies with them in it! :) (also they're both so handsome 😭)
Overall I'm conflicted, if I think about the storyline itself it's actually good, but the bl is kinda lacking.. it had so much potential tho 🥹 I recommend reading the Novel! :)
very well made queer movie about a gay relationship. It's natural, honest, raw, complex and portrays the realities and hardships of life, as well as LGBT. I liked both of the characters and their dynamic. They showed how love can be a much deeper bond, not only romantically but in relationships in general (such as with parents). It reminded me of when I asked someone what 'love' meant to them, they answered 'sacrifice'. I think this would sum it up perfectly, as the characters conveyed it through the story.
that being said, I cried from both eyes watching this. several times. If you're not into tragic / sad stuff, then this is definitely NOT for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend watching it.
to be honest, I was a little bit disappointed. As a big fan of the original story (webtoon), I was a bit sad after finding out they have cut major plot and characters, for the sake of squeezing it in to 8 episodes. And dont get me wrong, the actors, production and whole team involved did a great job, the casting was supherb! With the kind of popularity that the show has, it could've easily fit the plot into season 2 and 3 (or more). Instead they cut it majorly, leaving out characters and changing the plot. What i loved the most about the Webtoon, was how Complex Donalds / Na Baek Jins character was! His whole background story, Motivation, Complexity, Superiority and his level of being a true Mastermind Antagonist all got changed and simplified to "oh they used to be friends and he's kinda smart". The friend part was straight up made up (not based on the actual story). And what i missed the most, was how similar Si Eun and him are! Also, although they kinda implied it, there weren't much strategic inner monologues during the fighting scenes with Si eun.
Also i feel like i need to mention that Lee Jun Young was the perfect cast for the lunatic Wolf, i don't think anyone could've played the role better than him.
Overall its still made well, a good story and incredible actors, production etc. I just wish they wouldn't have cut so much of the plot / made such drastic changes to keep it short and saved it up for another season instead! The whole weak hero story will still be one of my favourites.
