This drama is THAT BITCH and that's all you need to know

After so many re-views here is mine.

Can we all take a moment and appreciate this masterpiece!?
This is THE BEST BL when it comes to school love, two hearts that go from enemies to lovers, two hearts that discover them selves, acceptance and looking forward for the next chapter to their lives.
This was so well done, so well written, the passion behind the acting, behind every word that they are saying was on another level. The cinematography is astonishing, the locations were beautiful.
This literally makes other Bls look very mediocre. This is at the top.

~The story: Like I already said, this is by far the best BL that has done the "enemies to lovers" trope with a taste. And that's al you need to know.
~Acting: The best in the business, and them being rookies... -miles ahead from other actors when it comes to delivering the characters emotions, thought, body language, eye contact etc. etc.
~ Music: Amazing and it goes so well with the scenes and the characters emotions.
~Re-watch Value: Of course it has, but you'll know that the magic is not there and it's not going to be like your first time.
~Overall: Read the intro again TY.

INSERT CRICKETS !!!

From so much promises that were made by the team we got .... crickets that's what we got.
This was literally something unexpected. Like WHY????? I think that WE as FANS deserved better season, with better writing and WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY better story. It was hard to watch from time to time. The chemistry between the actors was there but I don't think that they need to rely on them to sell this. Yes the cast is important but the story needs to be included too. NO WORDS about the writing. It was bad, point blank period.
They could've easily make 6-8 episodes with better writing, better screen play and development. Why bother to make 12 episodes when most of them felt like filler episodes? CASH GRAB,that's what this is.

So disappointing.

Started Great, Ended in a Ditch

Well, congratulations to whoever decided to take a perfectly good show and drive it straight into a wall during the last episode. Seriously, was there a timer counting down somewhere? Because that finale felt like a sprint to the finish line with no one actually checking the script.
I’ll admit — I wasn’t a fan of the main couple at first. They were fine, nothing groundbreaking. But somehow, they grew on me. Their story had depth, some charm, and just when I started to care… boom. The ending happened.
Now, the second couple — oh, the second couple. They had barely any screen time and still managed to outshine the leads. Every scene they had screamed potential. And then? They got tossed aside like last week’s subplot. Truly inspiring.
Overall, it’s a decent show — emphasis on “decent,” not “satisfying.” Should you watch it? Sure, if you enjoy emotional whiplash. The story’s interesting, the characters pull you in, and then the ending shows up just to remind you that happiness is temporary.
My advice? Watch it, but don’t fall in love with it. I made that mistake, and now I’m here writing this review instead of moving on with my life.

Decent season with somewhat decent ending.

Season 2 : Decent season with somewhat decent ending.

Honestly, I liked season 1 better, it was interesting, I was waiting to see what was going to happen next and actually was excited to see how they'll carry out the second season, BUT, I know that this was a continuation of the story and we got to see their development, and in the end ended up being nothing special. Of course, there were sweet moments between the couples, mainly between the main couple. We saw the development between the other 2 couples and honestly I wanted to see more of them, but actually the screen time was alright, so I can't complain about that.

The story: Well, it depends on your own personal taste. You really need to watch season 1 before you watch this. And I know that this was a continuation and we saw how they solved their problems( the main couple mostly), but it wasn't interesting, at least for me. I skipped some scenes because were too boring and I lost interest in some episodes. I'm going to say this again, there was nothing wrong with the story, but for me was kind a meh. The story is not over yet, so I hope they'll make the 3 season even better.
The only thing that I liked is that there was no unneeded drama from other characters, no love triangles or other crap.
The music was alright.
The cast was amazing and the acting was alright. The chemistry was amazing between the actors, especially the main couple.
This is getting a 7 from me, only because as a continuation of the story it makes sense and it was decent, not great, but decent, the cast and their effort to make something like this during this whole pandemic.

Dare I say boring ??Is it really worth it?? Second season ???

So this one is a love-hate relationship.

Kind of stupid from them to make us wait for only one episode per week, which it's okay if the episode is 1 hour long, i understand that, BUT this... I have no words.. beside the fact we are getting only one episode per week with only 30 min max which is not the case with every episode, this feels like torture. Like I said in some other reviews of mine, make 6-8 episodes with 45-60 min per episode and get done with it. The buildup at the end of some episodes was so promising and then again in the next episode nothing happens and they keep playing around each other.
Another negative thing about this is that it's so slow. Everything feels so slow. The story, the development of the characters...everything feels so slow.
We have only one episode till the end, and I feel like we are still stuck at the beginning.
The story feels alright, it's kind of refreshing to see other subjects being discussed rather than the same old teen problems from Thai dramas. At the end, everything depends on your personal liking. We have the same old shit with the triangle romance which is pure bullshit and again we have finding out about your sexuality, coming out. The side couples ended up together but not the main one, I guess we have to wait and see what will happen.
The actors are gorgeous. I had no problems whatsoever with their delivery of the characters and their emotions.

The music is alright. Not gonna brake any records.

_____-----------______

To sum up: Slow paced series with semi-decent plot. Most of the episodes felt like fillers episodes, and are easily skippable.
Same old love triangle ,trust issues, doubts and no communications. It's getting boring from time to time.
Lovely actors but that's basically it. Good acting and decent character delivery. No problem with that whatsoever.
Once this is fully aired, it will be easier for the viewers to watch it. Don't have to experience the torture for wanting more episodes.
Will I recommend this? I don't know, because it's so forgettable. Beside the good looking actors there is nothing special about this. So will I recommend this? No. Not worth your time.

Well... it is what it is...give it a try but try not go get offended

I would not say that this is the best bl out there , but it's not the worst either. It was interesting to see how authors got creative a little bit and tried to bring something new into the bl world. New in a sense that I've never seen a BL before that had this kind of a story line, especially about the second couple( Fu Yong Jie-Ye Xing Si). People are going to find it offensive, disgusting, immoral and whatnot, but you need to remember that this is fictional. Y'all can relax.
True, I agree that somethings that FYJ did were bad, inappropriate, and I don't approve of it. But I don't think that this is "love-love". He is more obsessive, calculated, he has that manipulative behavior, while YXS is completely opposite.
I doubt that YXS loves Yong Jie. I feel like there's pity, sympathy and a whole mix of other emotions. This "couple" is a representation of an unhealthy relationship. The incest part was interesting to me and I wanted to see how things will work out for them, but the younger one needs therapy and the older one needs to open his eyes more and separate what's right from what's wrong.
The other couple is totally different from the one I commented on before. They showcased every facet of what is considered as a "healthy" relationship. They were considerate, warm, honest, straightforward and most of all were highly aware of what accounts as abuse, emotional or otherwise. But still, i did not enjoy some aspect of their relationship.
At the end of the day, it's just drama. Sometimes it made me excited and wanted to see more, but most of the time it was kind of boring, draggy and heavy. It was hard to watch form time to time and honestly awkward. I mean it is what it is. Probably least favorite from all HIStory dramas.

Missed the mark and could've been greater drama talking about real issues

I've written a review back when this drama started and made some points. And now this is the edit.

Right, so I have only one episode till I finish this series, but I think after watching this for the past few months, I think I'll be able to give an opinion. As you can see my ratings have gone lower than they were before. Listen, the drama started "strong", the story seemed interesting. And yes, I still think that it had some great production, the actors were amazing, and I still think that the points I've made before are still relevant. The thing with series is that it got boring half way trough. Perhaps is that it became more and more predictable, the kisses did not help, empty discussions, the lack of communication brings more unnecessary drama and those "hot" scenes did not save the series. I felt like I was trying to see what the author was imagining in his/her head- the character Gene. The actor is amazing and did amazingly while bringing his character to life, but it was weird. I feel like everything we saw was just an imagination of Gene in his own head, while trying to write another novel. Gene was inserting himself into the story and just to get the man of his dreams. Very confusing and they did not deliver it properly. Maybe it's me. Other thing is that Sib as a character had only one purpose- to get what he wants- Gene. Other than being a hot guy and going after Gene, there was no character development.
-Gene is like a very fragile uke who needs protections and guidance 24/7. On the other hand, Sib is the opposite- strong and dominant seme who is ready to save and protect Gene every time . He teleports every time the drama calls for it.
The Tiffy and Tum "couple"- boring. No development, no purpose whatsoever. Interesting beginning and then became tiresome. The other characters were alright.
The effects were not bothering me in the first couple of episodes, and I thought that they help the character just so it can be more expressive. And they became annoying. I had to turn off the sound and read the subs.
To end this, all I can say is that this could've been a great drama where its discussed about important things but sadly it missed that mark. At this point I don't even need to watch the last episode, because even without it, I can basically predict how it ends- just like a normal romance drama.

~These are the notes I took while I watched the first few episodes of the drama and what I thought it would be discussed~

==== THESE ARE SOME NOTES THAT I TOOK WHILE WATCHING THE AIRED EPISODES====

~ the actors side: usually they don't have feelings for each other and they do their work
~ some of the actors might start to have a feeling for the other during the series shooting, and it might be hard on them to move on after everything is done
~ some might start to develop feelings for the author of someone of the team, regardless, they already know that they cant be together because of the toxic fans
~ the fans: some might be just loving the characters and ship them all the way and be aware that they aren't real and it's all fictional, they know how to separate the film from the reality, the character and the actor,
and then , we have the TOXIC ones who doesn't understand that what they are seeing is fake and it's all made up and written beforehand, they tend to ship the couple even after the series is done and the actors have moved on, it's hard to support the actors when they are paired with new partner( love by chance pete(actor name saint) -- ae ~ why are you: tutor(actor name saint)-- fighter) and then the new series might not have the desired ranking, and they definitely won't let their fave have a love life or some privacy when it comes to that because they think they are the one for them. It's just toxic and ugly.

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!

It's an amazing short series who captured the best moments between the couple, their development and progress, the love and connection. You might want to see longer episodes, because these are short(15min or less), but that might be its strong point. I love when they go to the main point and without dragging they show you what is the most important.
No necessary drama. Amazing delivery from the cast.
You are going to love it if you are looking for an easy, lovey-dovey story line with no necessary drama form the other characters. Give it a shot. Highly recommend it.

Basic and easily forgetful series, wasted potential and gave NOTHING

Finally a series where the story is not dragged for 10+ episodes but it's nicely done for the amount of episodes it had.( total of 8 episodes)
The story itself is not something new, we've seen this concept over and over again, and these companies and writers really need to come up with something new because this is boring and repetitive.
However, I enjoyed the actors, they really made this show shine with their visuals, but the acting was weird and cringey sometimes. Everything felt so stiff
and awkward for me, but the chemistry between the leads was fine. There is a room for improvement as always, but the acting and the story, the plot development was the weakest part of this series. And it's predictable which shows that it's an easy type of a story to follow but a really, really weak writing. The music was decent, nothing special to be honest
It's not the best, nor the worst drama out there. It's in the middle for me.
Pretty much is a basic series with predictable storyline, weak writing, awkward acting and meeh music and you will easily forget about it. Would I recommend this? Decent time killer, but don't expect miracles.

I'll push and pull you up this hill, but you'll always take few steps back

This drama has weak and decent moments, like every other drama these days, but mostly is filled with filler scenes. The story was alright, but the toxic part of it is really boring at this point. Every second drama at this point brings in the toxicity troop into the relationship between the leads or the second couple. As a drama that portrays adults in a working environment, there are a lot of childish behaviour which after the first few episodes it gets boring and annoying.
The acting was nothing special. It felt like there is more to be done about that part. Neither the main couple was amazing at it, nor the side characters. The screen play was fine for the most part.
Even though this drama has more than decent actors, everything felt like a low-budget drama with rookies.
Really had high hopes for this drama, but as it progressed it became more and more annoying. Especially the relation ship between the leads- annoying, toxic, at moments felt like its pointless, no meaning... even though there is some-what decent chemistry between them, it felt all forced at moments. The love triangle was really unnecessary between the main couple and the side character. Extremely pointless and worthless. Most pf the scenes you are going to skip.
If you want to watch this, give it a go, but for me it was a major disappointment.

WHAT A LOT OF BULLSHIT

Easiest drama to watch: just press the skip button and you are good. Who wrote this must've been high or something because this shit is hilarious, and no, I did not mean that in a good way. The story is one if not the worst in the BL world and it's so boring oh my god. I was rolling all over the floor, I was chasing flies and mosquitos and whatnot... Like I said, If you want to watch this just use that skip button, it will end your pain much quicker. The character are pathetically written and are so annoying. Development? No honey, you are looking for development in the wrong series. 7 episodes in and feels like we haven't even started yet. Bullshit to the max. The music is disappointing. Side characters are boring. Well, only one character is alright and that's miss Candy. Toxic ex, toxic relationships... just pure disaster of a show.
Everything is done in 3 locations and it really sucks.
I expected more, this show is really an embarrassment. Just skip this for your own well-being. Its -1000/10

Meh

In essence, this series commenced promisingly, exhibiting potential for greatness. However, the subsequent episodes deviated significantly, resulting in a monotonous and unengaging narrative. The pacing became increasingly slow, leading to a sense of tedium. The skip button, once a mere inconvenience, became an indispensable tool for escaping the tediousness. While the lead actors delivered competent performances, their acting lacked any remarkable qualities.

For individuals unfamiliar with the genre, this series may offer an intriguing experience. Nevertheless, I found it to be yet another mediocre drama that squandered numerous opportunities. The lead actors, in particular, deserve more challenging roles that showcase their full potential. The series’ overall quality was remarkably rudimentary.

BLESS YOUR SOUL WITH THIS!

Do I need to say anything? This is probably one of the best series that has ever been released from China.
THE WRITING, THE STORY, THE CAST, THE OST. With one word MASTERPIECE !!!!!!
I watched this 3 times already because let's be real, it's addicting. Just an amazingly done series.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHARACTERS-----OH MY GOD!!!!!!

JUST DO YOUR SELF A FAVOUR AND BLESS YOUR SOUL WITH THIS!


This is going in my top ten dramas for sure. The emotion you get while watching this is... I can't even put that in words. I'll definitely re-watch this again in the future.

When the actors make the show glow

I'll keep this really short!!!

This is type of a drama with a basic ass plot which we've seen it million times before, from enemies to lovers. Nothing mind blowing or new, BUT the actors made this drama interesting and addicting.
Great acting. Loved the chemistry between them. Loved the cute moments between them.
Nice camera work, and the cinematography is nice. The characters are nice, but you'll live for the main couple.

The plot might be interesting to someone who is new to this kind of "topics" or genre, but for me its pretty basic and its something I've seen at least 50 times. The story is predictable but easy to follow.
-plot= meehh
-acting=GREAT!!!!
-rewatch value= yes!

WASTED MY TIME ON WHAT EXACTLY?

This will be short and sweet, mostly because there’s absolutely nothing here worth stretching into paragraphs.
I thought the first episode was boring and dull… and shockingly, after finishing the entire series, it stayed consistently boring and dull. Impressive dedication, honestly.

The plot? Practically a myth. The characters? So flat they could be used as coasters. Development? Zero. Nada. Nothing.
Even the story itself seemed like it wanted to take a nap.

The only mildly positive thing—and I’m being generous here—is the production value. At least it didn’t look like it was filmed with someone’s cousin’s phone.

Would I recommend it? Sure, if you want to give your skip button a nice workout. Otherwise… probably not.
