1. Yes, true.2. I think its made this way on purpose, so we don't know what really is Achis intention either.3.…
2. I know it's done on purpose, I just don't like it. It's exhausting going through each scene, figuring only halfway through it's made up for the SS the Series. Sometimes they don't even imply whether it's real or not.
Now, it could be useful if they are hiding it well and make some sort of a revelation out of it in the end. But the way it's being done here, it's just needlessly confusing and annoying in my opinion.
That said, we still have one more episode left. So I guess we'll see what it all comes down to 💚
I don't know about this one. I like the scenes where Noey flirts with Thi (or thinks Thi is flirting with him), but that's about it.
Thiwa is just too, too much. It doesn't look convincing. This type of OTT behaviour works in japanese BLs when it's consistent and adjusted to the story, like in Mr. Unlucky. But here it just feels...lame.
The humor rarely works for me, the plot is sluggish and aside from the mains there's no remarkable character. Thiwa is a caricature of a person. Noey is meant to be so mysterious, his hot-and-cold behaviour lacks any apparent logic. Neither of them is worth rooting for at this point. We're past third of the series, and not much has been set up in my opinion. Where is this actually going?
I'll give it one more episode, maybe two. If they don't manage to create something interesting out of it, I'll drop.
Second episode was much better! The humor is actually funny, and it moves at a swifter pace. There are no longer 10 minutes long stretches that I'm just halfway paying attention to.
The music still feels fake somehow (I don't know if the instruments or voices are added afterwards, but something doesn't sound right with it), but I'll make my peace with that.
As I said last week, the premise isn't really original. But it's done well this week! It's giving FUTS with the "secret friend" enemy angle. There isn't one big overarching conflict (yet), more like multiple obstacles coming one after the other. Maybe the Wave thing will become a big plot-driver.
This episode was actually pretty good! Probably the best one yet. The humor isn't cringey much, and we're finally getting some depth (as much as 15 minutes at a time can do).
If the rest of the show continues being this good, it could turn out to be above average series yet 💙
This is 8.5 for me. I was debating whether to move it a bit lower, but eventually I'm satisfied with the ending. There are few things that could have been paced better, few could have been left out, but as a whole it worked.
The opening is magnificient, and it belongs with entirely different story. Eternal Tomorrow AU story when???
I liked the Mitchan's part of last few minutes. Not a fan of his father's talk, just because I think it wasn't developed enough beforehand. But with the time they had, it was pretty good 💚
He didn't seem all that drunk to me, but then BL drunk is so divorced from reality it's meaningless.
He was flushed and barely kept his head up at the table, but then magically sobered up when ML2 took his shirt off! And probably got wasted again, since he had trouble remembering stuff afterwards 🙃
Ok, I have finally caught up with the fourth story. I don't have much thoughts on it, just general stuff:
1. While other stories focus more on how characters feel and what they think about their situation, this one is more or less focused on what's happening with the show.
2. It's really hard to tell when they are "on camera" and when they're off. This wasn't a problem for me in past stories, and it's very confusing here. In a bad way.
3. Again, there isn't a clear outer enemy. It's also less messy and mysterious than the first two stories.
4. It looks like the ending will be, yet again, underwhelming for me. I almost don't even want to watch tbe final episode.
If I had to rank it among the other stories so far, it would end up in the third place. So not the worst, but certainly not going out with a bang 💜
This drama is steadily approaching Once Again levels for me. Even the music is similar! And what it lacks in heartbreak department, it can compensate for with cuteness overload 💙
Both series is cute and fluffy I'm assuming is not your cup of tea
No, "cute and fluffy" are certainly my cup of tea!!! 😄
But I also need more than that. Convincing plot without long boring stretches. Humor that isn't based on humiliating or belittling someone. Character development. Compactness.
Also, 7.5 is not a bad score for me. It's "average BL" score. One I don't regret watching, but wouldn't watch again. Problem is, there's been too many BLs releasing lately. So mediocre no longer flies for me, especially when it's this long 💜
Not bad, not great. I really liked the music scenes, especially the first one. The main (younger) singer has a nice voice, if it's his own. The instruments felt fake though, especially at the start of the park scene.
Premise is uninspired, but I also haven't expected something groundbreakingly unique. What's worse, it feels too long at times. Kinda boring. It's only a first episode so I'll give them a pass to set things up, but I only really enjoyed like 10-15 minutes of the episode. Could be certainly shortened to ~30 minutes runtime.
I also liked the product placement scene, unimportant as it was! Makes me reconsider watching BLs before dinner 🙃
The "revelation" at the end could have waited a bit longer, though. I fear we'll get a bunch of external conflicts now to make up for the apparent progress. Or we get stuck in circles. Either way, I hope they have passable plot prepared for the rest of the series, because the *humor*, *chemistry* and music won't be enough to keep me entertained.
Ultimately, this is strongish 7 to weak 7.5 for me. Slightly worse than I Will Knock You, but I wasn't into that one in episode 1 either. If neither or them improves significantly, one will have to go 😔
Sometimes it's a little bit too OTT (the rooftop scene), but otherwise its's fine. Cute at times, funny at times, boring also a little. So far, it's strong 7.5 for me 💚

The side couple is way more interesting than the main one.
Mum is dummy enough to work out when sick.
And his bed is either great or absolutely horrific. I haven't decided yet.
The music still feels fake somehow (I don't know if the instruments or voices are added afterwards, but something doesn't sound right with it), but I'll make my peace with that.

I'll tune in next week again, and we might see 😄

1. Start at the opening song
2. Skip to the outro when music stops playing
You're welcome 💜

My rotten core: I bet I could direct Kim Jung Hyun's psychotic obsession better than some Cha Jung Woo 🖤
Mark me down as both scared and h- impressed by KJH. You can't say the boy ain't trying!
LMAO this is getting homophopic! Let me see them jòop-jòop ☺️
What nights? It's barely been a day! You're so full of shite, KJH 🥰

Thankfully, dutch boy serves as always 🥰
It was even weirder than 609 Bedtime Story 🙃
