Disappointing

I find too often they use celebrity's with known names rather than trained actors with talent. This series falls prey to no story or substance just a known actor who has only made one film with merit. Please do not cast a show around the celebrity status Mew is a great model maybe even a good commentator as far as I can tell he is not an actor that can carry a series In the last big project with Mew, everyone loved Gulf he was endearing & his chemistry with Mew was on point. Also kissing in a BL is not required especially dead fish kisses If the acting is good enough and it usually is in Korean & Japanese BL's (especially Japanese) you do not need to try physical tactics to engage your audience

There isn't enough descriptors to give I just have to say watch this Drama. If you do your take on Pathetic Life will Change This Drama brings you into each Character each one has a part of Human Kind's Nature in it. It is unyielding in the depiction of how the Circle of Life is Relentless each act is a beginning of a Domino Effect I Cryed with Seo In-Guk character, His acting in this Drama it must have been the best in his life I don't know how it could get any better I hope they all won many awards for this Remarkable Piece of Work The Story , the Direction, the Scenery It will remain with me for a long time I am a Surviver of Attempted Suicide So I know 1st hand the Tragedy it would have been but for the Grace of God.

The Best Series Ever!!!

This is the best Korean Series I have ever watched -- it has everything -- family infidelity little violence unrequited love true love forgiveness redemption -- I think the very best thing about this drama is IU's character listening to
Lee Sun Kyun character walking all throughout the series -- there is so much happening in this series and so many forms of broken people but yet they all find a way to mend the piesces -- Jang Ki Yong plays an unforgetable character in this series he is a bully that beats IU's character throughout -- You can't possibly go into this because there is just too much and the story is woven together with Oscar Winning skill - Love this series just too sad that Lee Sun Kyun is no longer with us he was such an amazing talented actor

10 Dance needed to be 11

10 Dance is a fantastic movie about dance with a side dish of erotic tension between our two male leads -- but lets be fair if this movie wasn't featuring Takeuchi Ryoma as the Latin Dance Pro & Machida Keita as the Ballroom Dance Pro the story wouldn't have been very impactful. Two Japanese men Tantalizingly Beautiful seemingly madly intoxicated with each other They teach the other in terms of dance 1st then life 2nd how to be different & maybe better -- There are a couple of scenes where they put their attraction into action but mostly it is Machida playing the aloof perfectionist and Takeuchi playing the uncontrolled bad boy -- I have no idea whether the movie is true to the Manga it is based upon or not. If it is there is a clear lacking in the unimaginative ending. You don't feel these characters will ride off into the sunset together but the fact that the Machida character sees having a romantic relationship with Takeuchi as life ending is worrysome -- as a bl watcher having them dance in front of their dance community isn't that a coming out of sorts and if it is why the ambigious ending They walk away it leaves you deflated and kind of misused. I mean all that sexual attraction for naught I will watch it again because the acting is superb the scenes the filming all fantastic It needs to be 11 because they need a sequel to finish the unfinished story

Life isn't Fine it's Stormy & Messy

This series is a perfect example of having multiple diverging storylines & doing them well. Wrapping up each one with a conclusion that the viewer can empathize with & appreciate at the same time. I developed my love for the Actor Seo Kang Joon in this series. He has the most expressive face & his eyes tell all. I re-watched & enjoyed it the 2nd time more than the 1st. Park Min Young played such a beautiful character, she depicted how devastating it is for a friend to betray you especially in school. The story really shows how emotional devastation effects each character. The actors Moon Jung Hee & Kim Bo Young are significant in the movement of the story Fantastic series a must watch But do not expect a fast pace it is a slow pace like the country side it is depicting

Finally a Korean Adult BL

Wow, Korea has stepped up the game. Although it starts in high school it quickly becomes an adult BL. I love that it doesn't shy away from skinship, whether it be kissing , or just an open knowledge that these characters are having sex. It is real Finally, it showcases the complexity of not only being gay but how to navigate life with dealing with pretty much abuse from all angles. Not only does it show how different each character deals with abuse, it also shows how you can adjust and overcome just about anything. Lee Soon s character upbeat, fun but emotionally available & willing to accept people for who they are no matter the circumstances. Jang Yeon Woo beautiful to look at but played such a flawed character. Kim Nu Rim the centre figure of the drama , was just beautifully played in every aspect. It really showed how a child is affected by continued abuse . He was such closed off character. This will not be a forgotten Drama. Beautiful written directed with the correct actors able to convey the amazing range of emotion in the drama A must see for sure

Doona What!!

First you can never hang the whole drama on the fact that you have an Idol. Bae Suzy acting did nothing to enhance the drama . Doona character smoked cigarettes well, did sexy well, had zero chemistry with the lead & displayed the angst of stardom. Other than that unless you are a Bae Suzy fan could have left it. I watched because of the way Vang Se Jong performed in the series. He was awesome & the supporting cast did a great job as well. The ending was anti climatic but I found that the most believable part of the series. It did show well the angst between Doona & Lee Won Joon mostly because of Vang Se Jong's acting ability. Bae Suzy was very pretty & extremely sexy & that to me is where her character began & ended

DYNAMITE VISUALS

I enjoyed Dynamite Kiss -- I really liked every single actor especially the mothers -- I mean you can never go wrong when you cast Nam Gi Ae I love her so much -- she could act in any role as any character one of the best character actors --Park Jee A is another under rated character actor these two alone can make an impossible series possible they are so good -- Ahn Eun Jin this lady is a force her visuals & her smile are enough to brighten any day & her co star Jang Ki Yong is one of the BEST leading men in the industry. He is uniquely funny maybe overacts a bit but in this series his character required it. The premise of this series was perfect & the kiss at the beginning well-- it alone is worth the watch just to see how the love story evolves & it does -- this show is a comedy of errors -- the only critique is the lack of social awareness regarding workplace Harassment I mean the main actress got smacked in the face -- thats a legal issue kind of uncomfortable for a light weight comedy series -- sometimes you don't need to go so deep sometimes a good laugh and just seeing actors do so well is enough I really liked this would recommend for some easy viewing

Not alot of Touching

There are some films that just resonate with you as a person -- Yonehara Kosuke character would be relatable to any quiet disillusioned adult -- who hasn't been effected by a betrayal & who also hasn't been pulled out of your slump by a Taniguchi Masashi eternal optomism & acceptance == I love Japanese films full stop -- they get the angst of the human condition better & it is portrayed by Japanese actors amazingly -- I find there is always a sexually preverted edge to these films but in No Touching at All it is used effectively to propelled a very slow moving plot -- this isn't an action , nor is it an overtly sexual film , it is more a film that shows how a person's hurt can be overcome & healed when the right companion comes along

Love comes Slowly

I like this BL because it is about many forms of love. It has a big family dynamic & the story stays true to it's simplicity It has every type of couple & the way each navigates liking each other Really displays how teenagers approach their feelings without becoming toxic with bullys and toxic parents It is a feel good series If your looking for action and interaction this is not the series to watch But if you want to watch a series on a do nothing saturday that leaves you with some hope for a better more inclusive world This is a very good series to watch The acting is top notch for the most part As usual a little over acted in some parts but I truly enjoyed it from start to finish

Soccer or no Soccer that is the question

I'm getting the feeling that Korean BL is attempting to replicate Thai BL's Please do not do that Don't promote the series based on an the mains having a real life relationship As a fan I just want to see them act most of us don't need to be titillated with nonsense The story had so much promise, the actors once again did their best Except for some of the forced kissing scenes and the multitude of story lines Why why less is always more when it comes too a series Who doesn't love alpha males falling in love Great got most of us there but then it down graded into Park Jong Hun playing a loved besotted idiot and Ko Deok Won being the aggresive but not really love interest The idea of them both being fans of each other was a hook that kept me interested but it didn't really play out well

IT'S A CRUSH

I binged watched this series, found it very entertaining but it went about 2 episodes too long. The confession in the 1st episode was so awful for the Han Ba Ram, it just set you up to really love the character & learn to hate Sangin. Im Han Tea was just the best of friends who finally realized he loved Han Ba Ram. For a moment you thought that maybe he would be another rejection . Sangin although beautiful to look at was an awesome villian of the series. I liked this drama, loved the band comradery and the singing was also wonderful. I think Korean bl's are getting more and more interesting & providing more real life issues. Making them less about hiding & rejecting your sexuality & more about the love that exists and the acceptance

BRUTAL VISERAL HONEST

Maybe I reacted to this drama in such an emotional way because our world is on fire right now. But, even if that was a factor this drama was beyond emotional & as a divorced person I could relate to the brutality that comes from being cheated on, used & ultimately cast aside. This drama correctly depicts that no one person comes out innocent no matter who is the cheater. It showed adults at their absolute worst, funny as per usual the children paid the price & the children were the only voice of reason in the drama. It was surreal to see the women make the meals, keep the house & raise the children mostly on their own again so relatable. I would suggest every married person no matter what gender or sexuality watch this drama it should be watched before anyone reacts to the ending of a marriage. It will stay with me for a very long time, no need to re-watch I won't ever forget it. The actors all did their job & I hope they were paid very well.

Want RomCom

This is a conflict driven romance/drama. Both leads have issues with betrayal. So the series start with the plot pretty much laid out . What makes this so delectable are your main characters. Sung Hoon a true alpha male & Song Ji Eun the cute girl, who needs her big strong man. Sung Hoon can make any heart flutter, he is handsome, his voice is strong & he brings a sensitivity to this character. I love how they brought in the swimming since he came from a professional swimming background. Song Ji Eun played that girl, you know the adorable , the beautiful, but cute, but strong, but needs her man & has so much angst from her upbringing. All in all it is a series I could watch over and over. Whenever a person needs that feel good hit this is a must have. Not to mention the supporting cast was stellar, there wasn't any bad acting that I could see .
