I have so many thoughts, so much feelings about both the series and the spesific topic, yet not enough words... When you believe in something but that makes you unhappy, or when something makes you happy but you feel guilt or sadness because of what you believe, what is the meaning of religion then? Our religion must make us feel safe, protected, loved.. Not lonely, in fear, gulity and unhappy. I truly wish every religious people (from every kind of religion) all around the world could watch this and get the message about love and faith. This feeling is what every society needs to become peaceful.
This series was phenomenal!!! You cant call it as a bl, this was a serious queer production and a really well made one as well!! First I thought 6 ep were ridiculously short but no, it was just enough for the best quality. Nothing dragging nothing boring, everything is perfectly in place. The story was amazing, the way they narrated the story was also amazing. Atmosphere, music, costumes everything were a whole package. It had somehow a western tone in it, not our usual asian series. But the most importantly Gemini and Fourth!!! Honestly I was never crazy about them but omg they just showed how talented they are! Especially Fourth was legendary! They had this dangerous tension through the series but we didnt get any crazy NC scenes which is something only great actors can convey. Loved every second of it!!! Hope to see more serious productions like this in the future.
First 5 episodes were very boring. So I was very afraid that I was watching, yet again a series that everybody enjoyed but me. Story was dragging, I really couldn't bare watching Klao/Nakun. He was super annoying plus he was portrayed in a very caricaturised way which I hate. Thankfully after ep 5 the gear shifted and things started to change. And then, this was an amazing journey.
Actors were really good. JJ is very cute but I must say I've been adoring Net for the longest time. He is very talented, very sexy and extremely charming. I am so truly happy that he finally found himself a partner who he can share both his happiness and his burden.
I always enjoy time travelling plots but also always feel worst about that person from the past, whom left alone. This one was not any eception. I fely EXTREMELY sorry for Phop from the past. He was the poorest soul ever. Cant stop feeling bad about him :(
There were very few NC scenes in the series but they all were amazing. I believe the NC quality in a BL is very important. Im not saying they have to use it but when they use it too much or they make the scenes like a 3rd class theater play or make it obviously fake, it just kills all the series. This one had really good NCs, not too much, not very little and they all were scary realistic LOL.
Short for long, I'd say I loved this more than I expected.
I love First Khao, they are one of my fav GMM couples, I loved everything they've act so far. But this one was simply boring, sorry... I had so much expectations after masterpieces such ad Heart Killers and Only Friends. Their acting is as amazing as always and the last ep made me cry but still that wasnt enough. Almost fell asleep watching this.. :(
If ratings were only about NC scenes, every explicit BL would have the same score. lemme ask, do those explicit…
Ofcourse not ONLY about that. I'd say mostly. Sorry, I forgot to add the word 'mostly'. I guess this is answer to your first 4-5 sentences. I dont know the manga, I only watched the series and thats what I'll ever talk about. Im narrow minded because I think the rate mostly comes from people who enjoy NC scenes? Even tho I said the series wasnt bad in the first place? Hmm okay whatever you say.
I wouldnt say it was bad but I dont think it is anything special either. It was just ok.. I believe this high rate comes from the abundance of the NC scenes. As we all know, BL audience tend to favor series packed with NC scenes.
Love your review, fellow both seasons admirer!I also feel bad for Dean, he got treated the worst by every character,…
Holy ep6 !!! I feel like even they didnt have any NC scenes, they'd still have this crazy chemistry and fireworks together. The way they look into eachothers eyes is just so real, its almost coming from their real life relationship. I always knew they are some of the most talented bl actors out there, I love every series of them except that Ossan joke. That was just a big no for me. I didnt even try lol. I just loved this and miss watching them already
I loved Only Friends season 1 and I loved this one just as much. This series has everything I love: friendship, love, drama, just right amount of sexyness, just right amount of toxicity and an amazing cast! EVERYBODY was amazing! But Mix!!!! Oh Mix the actor you are!!!! He was literally the pillar for the series and he was just flawless...I always loved him and Earth but this time he was particularly shining.
Every couple has crazy chemistry. Joss is a walking sex god and he has sparkles with Gawin. I dont really care for Aou and Boom but I must say their NC scenes are crazy good. But again, Earth and Mix are in another level. You almost can see their bond of 11 years on their NC scenes. They are just smoldering hot together. You feel like they use their eyes to communicate, they dont need words. Crazy crazy good!!!
After the actors, now the characters... Oh Dean my choco pie.. Everybody was happy end everybody forgave everybody but he was the goat.. Felt horrible for him. And Raffy... Oh you lucky bastard!! You were a horrible person but someone loved you nevertheless. Arnold and Tua were the fluffiest and greenest flag of the couples out there. Loved them! As I said, I loved so much about this series.
And oh how I missed watching my babies Sand and Ray.. I wish we could watch them more. I just love those boys, both characters and the actors. This was a strong reccomendation. Go for it guys!
I too prefer dark deep stories over fluffy teenage romcoms in any situation. BUT!! No disease including bipolar…
I dont know a bit about the novel, Im sure you're right. But honestly I dont care, I just review what I watch. I we could remove the rape, this would've been a very good toxic relationship story. But I cant. Their happy ending was not realtic but that was the best they could get. None of them happy obviously but thats what a toxic love means maybe? I dont know. Wish they had no rape scenes, I'd for sure give this higher rates
I actually agree with what you said. This is the first drama that u hate both lufeng and yichen but u understand…
Well, it was the happiest possible ending for this series lol.
They said that he was completely healed, just need close attention so I want to believe that. Lu Feng def lost his spark, his joy. No matter what, mental disorders break something inside people and they never can go back their old themselves. I dont have any words for Yi Chen cuz even as a healthy person I'd always feel nervous with him, he could make me sick too. I'd be scared if he will leave me in any hardhsip so he is a redder red flag than Lu Feng, if its possible lol.
I'm one of those few who enjoys dark themed BLs and this one is no exception. I will take a dark romance over…
I too prefer dark deep stories over fluffy teenage romcoms in any situation. BUT!! No disease including bipolar disorder can be justification for rape and torture. As much as I feel sorry for Lu Feng for what he had been through and see his passionate strong love for Xiao Chen, he is unforgivable at the end of the day!
I actually agree with what you said. This is the first drama that u hate both lufeng and yichen but u understand…
EXACTLY!!! I wish them happiness but realisticly, its impossible for any couple like them to be happy. Nobody can be happy with Lu Feng, he is bipolar or not its not about his medical condition its about his anger issues and lack of self control and moral. Also Xiao Chen cant make anybody happy as well, thinking he might give up and leave that person in the first hardship. I hate Lu Feng but also feel sorry for him, I dont like the series but also kept watching with curiosity. Completely confused lol. Im glad you get me :))
I have very complicated feelings about this one. Im not sure if I hate it or enjoy it. My comment might have spoilers so beware!
Lu Feng is one of the most dangerous people in the world. He is either white or black. When he loves, he makes his partner on cloud, but when he is angry, he cant control his temper. He abuses, tortures and even r*pes, freaking bastard!!! I cant imagine loving him or having a happy relationship with him. He was horrible. But on the other hand, he loved Xiao Chen with all his existence which made us pity him. He was super unlucky. Whenever he wanted to do something good; protect his relationsip, do something nice for Xiao Chen or for his family, even when he tried to heal himself, everything ruined and horrible things happened. Nothing was his fault yet everything was his fault at the same time. Also nobody was on his side, not his family, not Xiao Chen's family-brother, not even Xiao Chen himself. Poor boy.
Meanwhile Xiao Chen was a weirdo. First of all he never ever loved Lu Feng as much as Lu Feng loved him. Lu Feng literally got sick for his love for Xiao Chen. In the beginning, when Lu Feng loved him and protected him with all his might, Xiao Chen didnt appreciate him, left him easily, he was cold distant and not loving. Then Lu Feng did HORRIBLE things, We expected him to run away and be actually cold this time but guess what? He goes after Lu Feng, gets back with him easily, and supports him and protects him... How can I understand this guy???
As I said when I started this comment, Im not sure if I like this or hate this. If Lu Feng wasnt an abusive sicko, I might've loved him and the series but all his actions made everything unacceptable for me. The only thing that made me enjoy is me liking dark and deep stories. This was hella dark and deep!
Finally I must say I didnt like most of the cast except Ayden who portrayed Lu Feng. Ayden!!!! What an amazing, talented actor you are!!!! You showed us every small emotion of Lu Feng when he was happy, sad, scared, angry and even crazy or delirious. I just admire you!!! I will keep following him! BRAVO!!!
When you believe in something but that makes you unhappy, or when something makes you happy but you feel guilt or sadness because of what you believe, what is the meaning of religion then?
