Title May Be Super Long, But Story is Worth Watching

I won’t lie, the long title kinda had me like, “Umm, what is this?” at first, but the reluctance didn’t last long, I watched this yesterday and would have regretted it if I didn’t.

Such a good story with the exact type of ML I always like. As a lover of healthy obsession romance trope, this particular plot is my cup of tea.

The ML is already giving green-as-shrek flag and I love to see it. I also really love how he is attracted to the MC’s kindness (well, his face and body too haha) but that’s not the point. What ML finds the most attractive about MC is his kindness. And oh, MC sure is KINDDDD!

So far, the story has been great, but I hope we don’t get any dramatic “you’re too good for me, I’m not good for you” push and pull, pull and push that would throw off the momentum. I hope we don’t.

You must watch this show if you like high school Japanese BL and healthy obsessive handsome MLs. You must watch it.

A Good Watch and an Emotional Rollercoaster

I was a bit reluctant to start this one but finally decided to give it a chance today and was hooked. Binged the first four episodes and looking forward to the next episodes.

I won’t say much about the story to avoid spoilers but one minute I’m laughing, the next, I’m bawling my eyes out. And what does that tell you? It is, for sure, a good story. Emotional plot line and I love the concept too.

Ah, also the little romance blooming on the side is really cute to see, so yeah, there’s that too.

Overall, it’s a good show so far, and if just like me you’re also contemplating watching it, you should. I believe you won’t regret it.

I hope the quality stays consistent until the end of the show.

EDIT - it got boring at episode 12 or so but still a good watch

Sweet Sweet Boys, Sweet Sweet Loving

I’ll admit the beginning felt a bit slow but DO NOT DROP IT!!!

This show has to be one of the sweetest and loveliest BL I’ve ever watched. It’s such a feel-good fluffy series with the right amount of spice.

The acting is perfect, storyline interesting, chemistry between the two actors is too cute, I’ve never seen anything like it!!!

If you love power bottom and sweet sweet cute BL romance shows, you better be watching this one!

There’s not so much to say than it’s a relaxing and amazing BL show to watch. Lol, made me want to fall in love!

10/10 for me!

Jane X Jane: Dark Romance, Words of Affirmation, Mind Games

The first episode was indeed an enjoyable watch, but what will happen after?

Something tells me this story is going to be far more than what the first episode delivered, and I’m eager to see what else it will bring.

It may seem like sweet romance on the surface but it’s nothing like that, I’m sure.

The plot is intriguing, mysterious too, it pulls viewers in. The acting is also great, chemistry is amazing, and the men are gorgeous.

But I’m curious to see how this “manipulative” ML who’s using the MC’s love language (words of affirmation) to draw him in, I’m curious to see how he would eventually fall head-over-heels in love.

You better join the watch train now, this is another promising Thai BL.

Promising Start But Unfortunately…

I hate to say this, I almost did not want to leave this review, but I have to!

First, let me start by saying WHEN I catch the writer and director of this show!!!!!!!!! Because how could they???!!

Wasted such good pairings (Daou-Off-road) and one of my favorites too. What could have been a very good BL turned out to be below average.

Now, let me say this, the bad quality of this show has nothing to do with the actors and everything to do with the terrible scripting.

It is…unbelievable, I’ll say. Especially since the story started out so strong and with such great potential but it got boring quickly and we have the plot line to blame for that.

I will be very honest here… this is not a series I would recommend … unfortunately.

As Episode 1 Ended, I Asked Myself “What Did I Just Watch?”

This is an unbelievable piece of….nonsensical BL. It’s a waste of time.

First, the audio quality sucked so badly. It was terrible all through.

Now, the story??? What is the story???

The synopsis written here sells the show too well, you would think it’s worth watching. News Flash: It’s not.

I’m trying to think of one thing I enjoyed while watching this… Oh, I’m done thinking and the answer is still nothing.

The acting too is so mediocre, which is weird because KBLs rarely have mediocre acting. But it is what it is I guess.

Now, to the NC scenes? The episode would have been better off without them. Completely threw me off.

And I hope they don’t think that ending is suspenseful enough to keep viewers watching? Lmfaooo, cos I’m dropping this.

I had a bad feeling before starting it, I just knew it would be below par, and it is.

Don’t even bother watching. I already did, so you don’t have to.

You’re welcome.

Slow Beginning, Interesting Story, But….

I haven’t seen the original, so this review is just based on the BL series.

I’ll start with the good parts, the story is interesting for sure, the first episode though, a little bit slow, but it makes sense, and viewers will probably be able to decide how to actually feel about the story after a few more episodes.

Plot is also a little bit cliche, but it’s a time-travel Lakorn BL and that should be expected. It doesn’t reduce the story’s quality though, I’m still excited to see what the next episodes would hold.

Now to, what I’ll call an unpopular opinion perhaps, I found the MC’s acting grating and really hard to watch in a way. I’m not sure if it’s just the first character he played (I won’t go into this to avoid spoilers) but the acting quality was poor.

Overall, so far, so good I’d say, I hope the acting improves (as he takes on a different character) in subsequent episodes. As we watch too, we’ll get to see how good the story would get.

For now, I’d still recommend it to anyone who’s contemplating watching. But don’t expect too much in this first episode.

First Edit: IDK it’s getting so frustrating to watch and this is like what? 6 episodes in? The romantic chemistry isn’t reaching me AT ALL. It feels so much like bromance and less like BL at this point. Not sure how the story would proceed from here but so far it’s been mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Fluffy, Feel Good, Amazing + A Beautiful Storyline…

Helpppppppp!!! I am very very obsessed with this series. I just binged the first four episodes and i have no words to describe it 😭😭😭

Or wait, I actually do have words to describe it. SO GOOD! I enjoyed watching this and had moments where I was just laughing out loud. It’s such a fun watch OMG I’m surprised.

I didn’t read the synopsis or anything, just found it and decided to start it with little to no expectation and IT IMPRESSED ME.

Great acting, solid chemistry, interesting storyline, beautiful visuals, you name it.

Sorry I can’t keep writing because I’m off to rewatch the first four episodes all over again as I wait for the new episode.

Stop reading reviews!!!! Join the watch train ASAP

Friends to Lovers But With A Little Bit of Twist?

YES!

What a good way to start the BL year! The beginning of this show is solid and has me looking forward to future episodes.

The story is nothing “special” but it feels different than other friends to lovers BL show.

I like the characters and the difference in their personalities. Acting is good too, and the boys will have good chemistry.

Overall, love story is promising and I’m curious to see how it develops.

Should you start it? Absolutely! So, you can join us on this what will be an interesting ride!
