Pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed this series. My only complaint is that the episodes were too short. Good acting, great chemistry between the leads, and a satisfying ending (for now) really have me wishing for a second season of this series with longer episodes! :)
I don't get why people are so hard with this.It's much much better than a lot of Thai BLs (or BLs in general really).It's…
I found this show extremely slow, boring, and lacking in substance, so I dropped it after episode 3. That's my opinion. You like the show and think it's good, and that's cool too. What I don't appreciate is when certain posters who like a show get all up in their feelings and insult other posters when they criticize or don't like a show. There is a lot of that in this thread and that's not cool or necessary.
I really want to like this show but 2 episodes of mostly cooking food shots, Aek barely saying anything and talking really slowly when he does, and everything else being in super slow motion is already starting to grate/get boring. I think I'm going to just binge watch this at the end for the sake of my blood pressure.
I’m glad Shi Lei and Jin Yuzhen are finally together and got their happy ending, but I think the finale was just okay. This show had the potential to be great, primarily due to the great acting and chemistry between its 2 leads, but it really was ruined by bad writing/pacing and bad directing choices throughout the series. I lowered my expectations about ep 12 given how bad the last two episodes were writing-wise, so it was pretty much just as rushed an ending as I expected, complete with a convoluted/nonsensical plot organized by the Ex to force Yuzhen to confess to Shi Lei in the most unnecessarily dramatic way humanly possible, instead of just, you know, talking…
Once again, I agree with many of all the other comments. Ep 11 was very frustrating. Bad writing is the problem. Aaron and Hank deserve so much better. I'm sure there will be a rushed happy ending next ep, but I don’t expect it will be satisfying since I have zero faith in the writer.
I guess the baiting and switching at the end of each episode is necessary when your lead actors/couple aren’t doing anything during the eps except having flashbacks/dreams while avoiding/not talking to each other. There was literally no point to Jin Yuzhen hiding in Shi Lei’s room and throwing him on the bed at the end of ep 10 other than to create that annoying cliffhanger given what followed in ep 11. If you just watched this ep, you would think that the Ex was the lead because he was literally the only one communicating or doing anything this episode. Shi Lei and Jin Yuzhen not talking at all appears solely for the purposes of dragging things out to the last episode. (We’re now up to at least 3 times in the course of 2 episodes where Jin Yuzhen acts like he’s going talk to Shi Lei but doesn’t follow through for no reason!) I also find it super annoying that the Ex is Shi Lei’s (and the viewers) only source of info about their relationship ended.
Agree with all the other comments- this ep was soooo disappointing and wasted so much time with no explanations and no progress. The 2 lead actors and their chemistry with each other are what make this show good. Since they were separated all episode, all the continually not so good things about the show were more obvious, like the total unnecessary time wasting/filler that is the 2nd couple in such short episodes!
Really liking everything about this show so far, except for Tian stressing me out with his lack of concern for his health. Like, he needs to be serious about taking his immunosuppressant medication to continue to live. Meanwhile, every ten minutes he's hiking up a mountain....
Just binge-watched this today, and I think the series was decent (I say that having suffered through Wish You, which has significantly lowered my expectations for these short BL series). It definitely could have been better with longer episodes and a better actor playing the love interest (Probe). Reciting lines from a script is not the same as acting and he was emotionless/expressionless throughout. The interesting concept and the lead actor (Mono), who actually could act and was very good, are what saved this series, IMHO.
I can't believe out of all the great BL series recently, Netflix paid for this one. The actors were expressionless, the lead couple had zero chemistry and the writing was just plain bad...
