I’m super excited since this looks like a high budget project for once. It will also be the second longest Korean BL at about 3 hrs (after Light On Me which clocks in about 7-8 hrs). I just hope we can continue to get longer more fleshed out KBL’s in the future.
When is he going to get a main lead role? He’s always so good in his supporting roles it just makes me so upset that someone so talented is not getting the opportunities he deserves.
I really liked JES in this. He was very cute, fun and flirty. Unfortunately the chemistry wasn’t really there. It’s one of those things that you either have or don’t there’s no in between. I did appreciate how there was a mutual attraction between the two leads though and that there was no denial of those feelings!
I think the bar has been set a little too high by WYEL, LOM, TMS so there always going to be comparisons but KBL’s definitely have room to grow!
Another example of a writer sacrificing character and story for an actor. Body and soul swap dramas are almost never done right (Big, Mr. Queen) for this reason. This was the ghost’s story. The chef was in love with the ghost. He might have liked Bong Sun (later on) but it was the ghost he actually fell in love with.
My biggest complaint was the time skip without any flashbacks. Even though I loved JJ and HY together we didn’t really get to see what happened after S1 and the start of their relationship. The drama just throws them together in the beginning. They tried their best but the chemistry didn’t come around until halfway through the story. SO kind of got shafted as a character but he was written a bit overbearingly (you can’t really force someone to like/love you). I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone is saying...but it could have been better.
Read up a bit on the drama and although JES and his friends comments were a bit distasteful... I don’t think he intentionally meant it to be offensive (his friend on the other hand I can’t speak for). In his interviews and promotionals he’s very LGBQT+ friendly, I believe he even uses the love is love quote.
Yes the comment was dumb (seems more playful on his part) but I’d like to think he learned something from it. I hope this drama doesn’t get canceled because it would be unfair to the other actors involved.
Super cute with a lot of eye candy! Not much substance plot wise so I understand the lower ratings but it made up for it in chemistry and cuteness. Reminds me of cotton candy doesn’t last very long but still fluffy and sweet. :)
Eun Gyu was my favorite character by far and he’s really the only character who gets any kind of development haha. The actor was very charming too. Ji Soo was so weird but I’m glad he came around in the end. Hae Won although super pretty to look at didn’t get much plot wise lol. The other two boys were very cute and endearing too. I loved their bickering and doting and hope they’re secretly dating haha.
Awesome! It was a cute watch but could’ve done with just 10-12 episodes. I think the story was more interesting when the FL was pretending to be Veronica Park. Probably because Veronica was the most interesting character on the show. The real and fake Veronica’s antics were just hilarious.
CEO/chaebol ML’s are done to death but KYK plays a really lovable puppy like one here and not the usual moody broody one. I loved the bromance between the ML and SML too.
It had its moments but wasn’t as engaging after the first half. One thing this drama did right vs Mr Queen was that there was no confusion about who was in the body and who the king fell in love with. They were able to get away with it I guess since the pairing is still het on screen. Not a fan of the ending(s) but it didn’t leave me as bitter as Mr Queen at least haha.
I still think the King actually fell for the chef. I can tell they tried to write it in a way to avoid it but it’s a shame they didn’t just go for it. This really weakened the ending in my opinion. Reminds me of Oh My Ghostess.
I think there was enough content to make both ships happy :). I honestly couldn’t choose between Da On and Shin Woo so I was fine with whoever got the boy haha. In the game you can pick your guy too ;). After the success of this drama I hope we continue to get longer fleshed out Korean BLs.
I don’t mind slow burn but there’s a line when it starts to drag (in regards to the main couple confessing and getting together) and this one kind of crossed it. The leads had good chemistry but the writing was weak. How could they forget about that one flashback where the leads meet each other for the first time and Yu Zhen was smittened by Lei Lei? SMH.
We should have gotten a kiss that was more slow and passionate rather than the one we were given...You know something is wrong when the second lead couple has more kiss scenes than the main couple...Those dream sequences also were unnecessary in my opinion. I just wished we got more of the main couple together as a couple. :(
If you liked Kleun Cheewit you’ll probably enjoy this one too. It’s older but similar story wise but in this drama the main couple get well acquainted with one another before the accident.
There’s kind of an unspoken attraction between the two leads in the beginning but they don’t really act on it since he’s already in long term committed relationship...It might tick some people off but it’s up to interpretation whether he was faithful or not...It has a good amount of chemistry and angst and the side couple was cute too.
I know this is an older lakorn so it got away with some stuff...but wow the ML was super toxic. Physical, emotional and mental torture and abuse you name it and it was there. It’s not tagged but there were numerous occurrences of attempted rape so just a discretion. Honestly his actions made it hard root for him in the end since he crossed so many lines.
There’s a lot of hate for the FL but the ML literally treated her like a rag doll throughout the drama. I liked that she stood up for herself (those slaps were so satisfying). She might have been a bit naive but at least she didn’t just take it. Despite the unhealthy and toxic relationship I do think Weir and Mai had good chemistry...
My favorite part of the drama was definitely the sibling relationship. Even though all three of them weren’t the sharpest they at least had each other’s backs. They argued and fought a lot but at the end of the day they were all there for each other.
I actually enjoyed the father/son relationship more than the main couple because I didn’t feel enough angst. They were cute in the beginning but once everything comes out their relationship becomes kind of stagnant. I wanted some more drama and angst...Instead they just focused on the evil mom and the doctor. The mom was totally ruthless and the doctor was a total pushover so I didn’t feel bad for either of them in the end.
The ML was a bit possessive towards the FL in the beginning but he’s definitely one of the smartest written male leads (guess he had to compensate for some of the other characters lol). He discovered and pieced things together super quickly (with some help from dad of course). The FL sadly lost a lot of the charm she had pre-surgery and became kind of passive.
I like over the top lakorns but this one was just missing a little something. Still worth a watch though.
It’s a typical soapy Lakorn so expect all the boxes to be checked. That being said that’s what makes these so addicting. None of it makes any sense but you want to click on to the next episode anyways.
Around the halfway mark it really becomes the evil twin show (I think she even gets more screen time than the FL in some episodes). It’s funny because everyone knows she’s the one behind everything but they can’t do anything about it because she’s always one step ahead in excuses. I think the actress did a good job and you can tell she really had a lot of fun playing the villain.
I felt the chemistry between the main couple but it was kind of a toxic relationship. The ML was too aggressive in the beginning and the FL was a bit too submissive. But these are common tropes in the genre I guess. Expect a lot of slap/kiss moments, a little more than usual I’d say.
The grandma and her help were such a hoot, they made for a really great pair. The aunt was pretty awesome too, she’s pretty much the main reason everything comes together in the end. And both of the twins’ had some really good loyal friends too it’s too bad one of them didn’t realize it...
These kinds of dramas aren’t for everyone because you’ll lose some brain cells along the way but it’s like a bag of chips once you start it’s hard not to finish.
I actually liked this season better than the first one because there was more tension, passion and chemistry between the leads. In terms of story and pacing though it did feel kind of weaker especially after the first half when the misunderstandings get solved. But all of the lovey dovey scenes kind of helped make up for it.
I’m personally okay with sofa scene because to me it was a manifestation of both their suppressed feelings for each other. It was clear that they still loved and longed for each other despite all of the anger (mostly on one side), miscommunication and misunderstandings. Whether you believe it was right or wrong it’s hard to deny the tension and passion that was put into that scene, so kudos to the actors.
I also loved the relationship between the the two boys and their parents. The mom is practically an angel and although the dad was a bit selfish, the love he had for his son was undeniable.
The side couples were cute but definitely needed more development. I didn’t even know the two friends were still dating since they barely had any scenes. Although they got to sneak in a kiss at the end so yay. I’m still confused at where the ex-doctor and ex-student coupling stand but maybe s3 will help fix that.
Sam was definitely the standout in this drama. Don’t know if it’s just me but in some scenes he looked a lot like Choi Tae Joon haha. He has the cutest laugh too.
I don’t think this series needs another season (at least for the main couple since their story was tied up so well) but I’d love to see Yu and Sam pair up again for another one.
Aww this was a nice little indie gem. Deals with life and death and explores why people choose to do what they do (pertaining to suicide). This film wasn’t really about the romance but there’s hints about the start of a new potential one. Not bad overall and definitely worth a watch.
I think the bar has been set a little too high by WYEL, LOM, TMS so there always going to be comparisons but KBL’s definitely have room to grow!
