Just finished the last episode. I'm really sorry to say this, but for this was one of the worst BLs I've ever seen. Boring storylines (nothing really happened), bad acting (especially Fort / Pa Prai - please, visit an acting school). Apart from a few love scenes this show had nothing to offer. 13 episodes was much too long, the storyline was so short, it could've been 1 episode only. Unnecessary escalation of the story in the last episode, just to make it longer. I'm glad it's over now. 4/10.
Everyone is talking about explicit sex scenes but to me it was just a nice love scene and not explicit at all. Maybe because I'm European ;) It's of course a bit more realistic sex you expect when two make love so it's really nice to look at. More please in the remaining episodes! Ritsu was kind of an a**hole to me by EP2 but we'll see how it goes on. Nice show so far.
I'm at episode 11 of 13 now and quite frustrated with this series. The first episodes were almost completely around Payu and Rain and then suddenly the focus changed to 100% Sky and Prapai. And storewise basically nothing happens at all - after 11 hours I cannot tell you what this is all about. And - I'm really sorry to say that - Fort who plays Prapai is really not very good at acting. It's cringey at times for me. One of the most boring BL shows I've seen in a long time. The love scenes are nice though but they are sparse.
Love Papa & Daddy, although Season 1 was a bit better for me. The new actor is fine and the story went on well. However I think they tried a little bit too hard to put every LGBTQ topic into the eight episodes. Bullying, gay marriage, adoption, coming out at work etc. - if not all so packed into 8 episodes it would have been slightly better. I hope we get a third season!
I haven't seen such a beautiful series in a very long time. I cried so much during almost all of the last half of the last episode like never before. So beautifully made overall, wonderful characters, great actors. Real love. And so emotionally touching. What a gem this series is. My first 10/10 in a very long time, and it will stay in my head for very long. A must-see.
Now I sit in front of my TV in tears after the ending. Thinking about what happened again and again, I still don't get it. What was behind it all to save Ji Hoon if in the end the fate didn't change? I hope the final seconds mean that there's some hope? However, I still really liked it, cinematography, acting, music, all was nearly perfect. And the emotions really kicked in with me.
Okay, so I just finished His Man with the last two episodes. While I really loved watching the show in the beginning, it became more annoying in the end and the last two episodes were disappointing.
- Quite cruel ending for some. Especially Chan-Kyu, who was really sad and heartbroken for the last couple of episodes, being mostly ignored by the rest. I still don't understand why, he was one of the most attractive and nicest guys here. Eun-Chan also, crying in the end. Wow. - Overall the acting of all was quite childish, sometimes like 15 year olds giggling in the corner. Not even a kiss on the cheek or any real talk. Holding hands seems to be the most courageous thing here in the final episode, a bit ridiculous. It's 2022, not 1960. It was more like some friends go on a vacation trip for a week, renting a house for fun together. - The whole concept didn't really work. Not enough interaction between the guys, 30-second calls and activities which they mostly do on their own instead of together just doesn't work to find love. Just switching room setups doesn't work either, everyone was more like angry about it in the beginning. - In the end most of them just looked sad, it was embarrassing to watch ("the number you have dialed is not available") - On top of things, the final episode became a bit useless when I read before that the winning couple just never really dated. What a failure!
I still like to see more of such shows, but please be more courageous and with more real interaction between the guys. The show was very conservative, and we need really participants who WANT to find a partner, not just because of the money they get. I am really sorry for the guys who didn't find anyone in the end, they were the most "real" ones...
I think this is the best show I'm watching in a very long time. Everything here is perfect so far - the setting, the atmosphere, the theater like drama with basically three fantastic actors. And the chemistry between Wang and In is like 100%. The air is literally burning when they look in each others eyes. A week to wait for episode 3 was never so long!
Cute series overall but that we don't get a single kiss in the finale is so damn disappointing. Feels like they're good friends and that's it. So ridiculous! Real love looks a bit different to me...
4 episodes in and I like it so far. Although I'm a bit surprised how reserved the show is. No real cuddling so far, not a single kiss, no games they need to play to bring them closer to each other. Even the paragliding! They didn't even need to do this together, but separate! I mean, they're all adults - and this is not a kids show. I'm used to the complete opposite in western shows here in Europe where they're half-naked and touch each other all the time. This is of course not needed, but I expect a bit more interaction tasks. Sitting around will not bring them together.
Well, let's see how it goes on but I hope things get a bit steamier. Not really much happening between all of them in the last 4 hours so far. And some of them seem to be bored already because ignored somehow.
Just finished all 8 episodes and overall I'm disappointed. It was a nice and quick watch, but overall the episodes were very short (roughly one short movie all together), there was basically almost no story at all, and the acting was not very good. The final episode was very rushed and I didn't even understand what happened in the end of Ep 7 and how the ending happened as it happened in Ep 8. No real backstories (where did they come from, etc). The budget must've been very low, the "competition" wasn't even shown. Not very good and one of the more worse BLs I've seen in the past months - 5/10.
Ep 10 was another fantastic episode. Such a great drama! Plus fantastic camera and deep, interesting dialogues - not boring at all (maybe if you're too young to follow and always need action). And the music is well set where it perfectly fits in. Great series!
Episode 9 was one of the best of the whole series so far. Mickey got plenty of screen time, and especially his story got more background. I loved the whole parts involving him. Also Mon and So had a talk and it's getting much more depth than other series. Not boring at all but very well done instead and great dialogues in this episode. Love it!
Milk and Pun are so cute together, but the finale was a bit disappointing. A real kiss seems to be the most terrible thing on earth for Milk, like a punishment. The idea was good in the final episode to get things together but they didn't serve was I was hoping for. And the new guy Pun was mentoring (?) didn't make sense to me given that this was the last episode.
Still, I loved watching both over 12 episodes, especially as Milk and Pun where fantastic.
It's of course a bit more realistic sex you expect when two make love so it's really nice to look at. More please in the remaining episodes!
Ritsu was kind of an a**hole to me by EP2 but we'll see how it goes on. Nice show so far.

7/10, mainly for the first half of the show
