Only good thing is Joongdunk
Just finished watching Dare You to Death, and I have very mixed feelings about it.First of all, the songs and overall production were really good. The OSTs were beautiful and matched the mood of the scenes perfectly. The cast also did a great job with their performances. Everyone delivered their roles well, and visually the drama was quite pleasing.
However, the story writing was honestly disappointing. The first three episodes were actually interesting and made me curious about where the story was going. The pacing felt decent and there was some suspense that kept me watching. But after episode 4, the plot started to feel very slow and repetitive. Many scenes felt unnecessarily stretched, and the storyline didn’t really develop in an engaging way. It became quite boring, and at some points it felt like nothing meaningful was happening.
To be very honest, the only reason I continued watching the drama was because of JoongDunk. Their chemistry was the main highlight for me. Every scene they had together was enjoyable and kept me from dropping the series completely. Their acting and natural interaction really carried the emotional moments of the show.
If it wasn’t for them, I probably would have stopped watching halfway. The writers had a good start and a lot of potential, but the execution after the early episodes just didn’t live up to expectations.
Overall, great cast and music, weak storyline. I stayed till the end only for JoongDunk.

Nostalgia.
Just finished watching Mutelu: Hi by My Luck, and honestly it was so, so, so good. I have already watched it three times, and I still feel like watching it again. It’s one of those short series that leaves a really warm and nostalgic feeling.For me, Mawin’s character, played by Sea, is probably the best role he has played so far. There was something very natural and charming about his performance. The way he expressed the emotions of Mawin made the character feel real and relatable. I honestly can’t even fully explain how much I loved his portrayal.
And of course, Keen is amazing as always. No matter what role he plays, he always manages to make the character memorable. In this series too, he did a wonderful job. The chemistry between the two leads felt comfortable and genuine, which made their scenes very enjoyable to watch.
Considering their age and the theme of the story, the roles suited them perfectly. The characters felt believable, and the emotions matched the stage of life the story was portraying. It didn’t feel forced at all.
Another thing I really appreciated was that even the side characters did their job very well. Every supporting character added something to the story, and none of them felt unnecessary. The whole cast worked together nicely to create a fun and heartwarming atmosphere.
My only complaint is that the series is too short. With only four episodes, it ended so quickly that it left me wanting more. Honestly, I could easily watch 10–12 episodes of this story without getting bored.
What I loved the most is how the series reminds us of our school days — the innocent feelings, small moments, and memories that stay with us for a long time. It really brings back the nostalgia of school life in a very sweet way.

Just perfect
I just finished watching KinnPorsche again, and honestly, this is one series I can never get tired of. I’ve already watched it four times, and I can easily watch it many more times. It’s one of those rare shows that keeps pulling you back no matter how many times you’ve seen it.The biggest highlight for me is definitely Mile and Apo. Their performances as Kinn and Porsche were incredible. The chemistry between them felt so natural and intense that it completely carried the emotional weight of the story. They didn’t just act the roles — they truly became the characters. Every scene between them felt powerful, whether it was romantic, emotional, or dramatic.
What surprised me the most about the series is how it balanced two completely different tones. On one side, the story is quite dark, dealing with the mafia world, violence, and power struggles. But at the same time, the show also has many light and heartwarming moments that make you laugh and feel attached to the characters. That mix made the series very unique compared to many other BL dramas.
The casting overall was excellent. Every actor suited their character perfectly, and the group dynamic felt very real. I was personally hoping to see a little more romantic development between Jeff and Barcode’s characters, but even without that, they still did a good job and added an interesting layer to the story.
And I absolutely have to mention Tankhun, played by Tong. He was honestly one of my favorite characters in the whole series. His personality, humor, and dramatic reactions made every scene he was in unforgettable. He brought so much energy and fun to the show, and without him the series would definitely feel incomplete.
Overall, KinnPorsche is one of the most memorable BL series I’ve watched. Strong acting, great chemistry, and unforgettable characters make it truly special.

Confused
Just finished episode 4 of Yesterday the Series, and honestly I have very mixed feelings so far. I’m not sure what will happen in the next episodes, but the first four episodes have been quite confusing for me.The biggest issue I’m having is with the timeline and sequence shifting. In the first three episodes especially, the transitions between time and scenes felt very unclear. Sometimes it felt like the story was jumping between moments without properly explaining what was happening. Because of that, it was hard for me to stay fully connected with the plot.
Kelvin’s character is also quite mysterious, but in a way that feels inconsistent. At some moments he seems like a nerdy person who is scared of everything, almost fragile and unsure of himself. But then suddenly he gives off this strong alpha energy, which makes it hard to understand his real personality. It feels like the character is switching between two completely different sides without enough explanation.
Veir’s character also gave me a similar feeling. In the beginning episodes, I thought he would be someone mentally strong and confident, someone who has control over situations. But as the story continues, he sometimes comes across as very emotional and almost like a puppy who cries easily. Because of these shifts, the emotional tone of the scenes feels a bit mixed and confusing.
All these changes in tone and character behavior make the series a little difficult for me to follow. Sometimes I feel like I can’t fully keep up with the story or the emotions the show is trying to deliver.
That being said, I’m still continuing the series mainly because I like Fort and Peter. Their presence and performances are the reason I’m still giving the drama a chance, and I’m hoping the next episodes will make the story clearer.
