Why is this tanking?

The monologuing. The long dramatic pauses. Standing in the middle of the road to get shot at. At least Phatsa ends it at the end of the episode but by then I was too busy angrily yelling at the characters to care much.

Foolish heart, hear me calling!

Episode 2 wastes no time introducing a third wheel and unlike our leads, he is openly gay and knows exactly what he wants. The hot-dog scene, with its not so subtle phallic imagery, was both ridiculous and hilarious. The question now is what will Eun-ho do? Will he follow his “foolish heart,” as Steve Perry might warn, while his best friend Do-hyeon continues struggling to suppress his own desires?The series is certainly not shy about using provocative NC scenes to pull viewers into the chemistry and sexual tension between its leads. I’m already invested in what appears to be a childhood friendship slowly becoming something more. I only hope the love triangle intensifies that journey instead of diluting or distracting from it. It’s only Episode 2, but this summer is already getting very hot.

Warming up to her....

I already suspect that Sun Yuanzhu might become the SML. And he would probably be the "healthy" choice, yet it's already known that no one can order their heart on who to fall in love with. 🤨It does seem Luke has warmed up to Zhitao — she did not only impress him a little with her initiative to check on the director, which ended in them getting the project, but she also keeps surprising him with her personality, hard work, and work ethic. 😌I don't think that the girl in the red dress was a romantic interest of Luke's. She gave me more of a sister's/cousin's vibe or maybe just a good friend. But Zhitao's imagination really can go places! 😅And I do love the homey atmosphere they have in their apartment. They feel so wholesome and already supportive of each other! They definitely are the best part of this show so far, especially the friendship between Zhitao and Yu. 🤗P.S. Her parents are adorable! ☺️

not as strong as the original MIR but good characters and potential

This review is just for Ep1 - Ep4, which is as far as I have got. Of the current 3 or 4 school BLs (August 2026), this has the strongest plot and characters, but it is toned down from the 2016 series. The lead boy playing Fuse (real age 16) has an attractive smiling personality. Some of the other characters around him like the blond-haired one are believable. But what Fuse sees in Tee is anyone's guess, because Tee in these episodes is so wooden and unsmiling. He is obviously older (the actor is 21) and has a deep voice. That need not matter, but the withdrawn personality portrayed is just unlikely to attract an active, naturally happy boy like Fuse.

Oak Company Does It Again, And DAMN That Opening Scene!

As soon as I found out that Summertime is from Oak Company, the same production company behind The Prosecutor's Proposal, Thundercloud Rainstorm and Ball Boy Tactics, I was already excited. I knew we could be in for another outstanding BL with high production quality, great chemistry, strong acting, solid storytelling and some steamy scenes. After watching the trailer and Episode 1, I can confidently say it has already lived up to the hype.And DAMN, that opening scene was HOT! I was absolutely NOT expecting them to start the series like that. What a way to kick things off! They really said, here is your NC scene, right from the beginning!

Attractive cast, simple plot up to at least Ep5, dubbed sound

The cast are young and very nice. You can't fault them and their enthusiasm. The plot is uncomplicated so far (up to Ep5). Nothing much has really happened. There is none of the drama of Make It Right or Love Sick. The humour is quite light. In a way that is refreshing. One odd thing is that the speech is dubbed, presumably by the same actors, and there is no background noise, whether the scenes are in the condo, in school, or around Bangkok. They can run about in the school noiselessly (no school was ever this quiet), doors open silently, traffic passes in the street without a sound.

The Road to Splendor

It is a formidable pathway. It is not easy to attain, but once you have it, its a lonely destination. Zhao Ling wishing to retire was the only happy ending possible, but was it worth it? I would say YES. Without these twists and turns, life would not be lived. You have to do karma to get reward, if you don't do anything, what is the point of living? The character I truly felt bad for was His Highness, he grew up in the cold palace and somehow was made King, I'm sure the things he has done were not easy decisions and now he lost his confidant. At least he was not bitter and saw that Zhao Ling is not fit for the role. Yake is finally happy, Mrs. Yu is crazy and her son is humble. I didn't understand the need of the concubine, but at least she is happy too. I was cringed out by the child scene, they deserved a scene by themselves.

He's very discouraging, but an interesting start.

He caught her attention the first time she saw him! 😏He's very discouraging by telling her to quit her job, that she's stupid and useless, but even though he's quite cold to her, he's not completely indifferent. She has some characteristics that have caught his attention, and he keeps observing her, even if only occasionally. AND I am glad he helped her to get home, though. I didn't trust that taxi driver either! So, plus points for that. 😌I don't think the man who followed her was someone who wanted to hurt her. I think he was someone moving into one of the apartments on the same floor, considering the luggage. 🤨I liked that she has already made a friend in the city. Sun Yu seemed very nice. 🤗P.S. That typewriter looked like an antique, so could that be a family heirloom?

Old Zhao Ling is back🥳

I cried and laughed. I definitely cried when both of them were begging. I knew that His Majesty would come through.

Secret Lover vibes

Except for a typhoon I don’t think there can be anything more intense than a raging high school hormones. The coming of age and discovering sexuality is always a fun topic because everyone experienced this in one form or another. The show starts immediately with teens and their out of control hormones, that first sexual fantasy. It’s a classic trope in every high school series but the series shows some interesting and relatable personalities. Almost like watching the KBL version of Secret Lover. The chemistry and the sexual tension looks great to begin with Looking forward to the rest of the series.
