A little confusing at time but enjoyable

There were things I liked about this show and things I didn't. My biggest complaint about it was the timeline and the flashbacks. They really could've done better with it all because a lot of it was confusing on what happened when. It did get a little easier to figure out as the show was wrapping, but I think overall it wasn't done the best. My biggest positive about it all was the chemistry between our main two characters. It was incredible!! I hope these two are partners in something together again because I loved seeing them on screen together. Overall, this show was pretty enjoyable, and I found it entertaining to watch every week!

So much deeper of a story than you think

This was so much different and so much darker than I thought it was going to be. I was shocked at how much depth all the characters had, especially the main two. I wish the show was longer to be honest so we could dive a bit deeper into a few things. I really enjoyed this overall.

I felt so bad for both Han Gi U and for Lee Hyeon Jae the entire time which was unexpected. I knew going in I'd feel bad for Hyeon Jae in the sense of what I thought would be your typical grooming from the teacher, but that's not what the show was at all. Obviously yes, they did have an inappropriate relationship with each other, but it turned out to be more complex than I thought it would be.

Gi U was going through a lot with his wife, his past, is self-worth, and with this new job. I believe that he was genuinely trying to just be a helpful teacher and good person towards Hyun Jae (at least in the beginning). He saw a student who clearly was troubled and needed help and was constantly being told to just pretend he doesn't exist and I think most caring people would try to reach out and help him out. Then when he brought him to his house for the first time, that was a huge no. I also found it interesting that they had the anonymous chat in the show, so we saw the two of them bonding and getting closer without Gi U knowing who he was talking to. I think the chat is really what made it tough for him internally on whether to go after Hyeon Jae or not. You could tell he knew it was wrong but between their chat, them getting closer in person, and him feeling guilty about how Hyeon Jae is treated, there was a lot of internal conflict about what he thought he should do. He did choose to not be with Hyeon Jae in the end, but he made quite a few bad choices before that regarding their relationship.

As for Hyeon Jae, someone should've gotten this boy some help and a real therapist. He so obviously was dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts on top of being constantly ignored and being abused by his father. It made so much sense why he got so quickly and deeply attached to Gi U because he was the only one to ever reach out and offer him help. Hyeon Jae saw their relationship very differently than Gi U did from the start which was not good at all. He couldn't tell the difference between what he was feeling for Gi U and vice versa and that really showed more and more as the series went on. I felt so bad for him the entire series because a lot of this could've been solved if he just had a proper adult in his life who cared for him, but he didn't until Gi U came along. I know the ending is an open ending, and I've seen people say different things on what they think happened. Personally, I think Hyeon Jae gave Gi U that one last chance for them to be together and when Gi U turned him down, I think Hyeon Jae then went and committed su*cide. I think he saw Gi U as his last hope at love and when Gi U said they couldn't be together that he gave up. That may be dark, but I think there were quite a few signs that pointed to this being the case.

As for Jeong Ha and Seong Won's storyline. I did like it, but they are another reason that I just wish the show was longer. I wish we got to dive deeper into them as individuals as well as them as a pair. They seem to have a history together, but we really didn't see any of it. I think if the show was longer their story would've been better but since they didn't get a lot of screentime, it was just okay more than anything.

I found this show so different and so much more interesting than I thought it was going to be when I first heard about it before it started airing. I really recommend this show to others, it's so much more than it seems at the surface.

Profound, Life-changing, A Masterpiece

This drama quickly shot up to my top 3 dramas of all time. A long but beautiful journey, absolutely worth the watch. It is a tribute to women. It is written by women, produced by women, for all the women and the unfairness, challenges and strengths they've gone through in life.
The storyline and political aspect is even more impressively written if you have some idea of Chinese history (specifically Ming dynasty and the rising power of eunuchs). I love how each character really is thoughtfully written and flushed out.
Please please give this a try; absolutely best drama of 2026

A classic Kdrama feel

I want to start by saying I loved how much this had the classic kdrama rom-com feel. From the premise to the cheesy and romantic moments to the comedy, I loved it all. The comedy and goofiness of this show made it so enjoyable. I really think they nailed that so well.


Characters:
Ho Rang: I liked how much personality he had. He was goofy, smart, emotional, and just a very entertaining lead. With how the show started I was worried he was going to be boring, but he wasn't at all.

Bo Bae: I liked her a lot too! I found all her writer fantasies really funny and just found her really fun overall. She did have moments of the typical "why would he choose someone like me" attitude, but it wasn't often enough that it bothered me at all. Her powers were pretty cool to see too with how they worked. I loved seeing them pay attention to a lot of the little details when it came to her (like her wearing finger gloves to type, her frizzy hair, her laptop cover being soft so she can carry it without worry, etc.). I loved seeing that.

Ho Rang and Bo Bae together: I loved these two together a lot. They were a really fun couple, and I think they brought out each other's goofy side and I loved that so much! Them testing all the different types of charging was so cute! They had great chemistry together too as actors! One of the better couples I've seen in a little bit.

Eun Ho: This is where my complaints come in just to warn you. There wasn't enough of him at all. He's supposed to be the second lead/love interest, and we rarely saw him (we saw so many other characters more than we ever saw him and his name is listed third in the credits...make it make sense). I liked his character a lot from what we did see, and I loved his relationship with Bo Bae quite a lot too. Though again, a lot of moments between them happen off camera. Another thing is Bo Bae tells us instantly that she sees him as a little brother so how are we ever really supposed to see him as a love interest. We know so quickly that she says she's never seen him differently, so he never stood a chance to begin with. I guess I just don't see the point in his character.

Seol Hui & Choi Do Yun: They annoyed me the entire show start to finish. I think they deserve each other for how awful they are honestly.


The finale felt so eh to me, like nothing really happened. It almost felt like they didn't leave quite enough material to be wrapped up in the final episode, so it felt a little empty for a finale. A lot of things were either wrapped up pre-finale or if they were in the finale, it happened off camera or was just kind of referenced rather than us actually getting to see it. I wish they did something different with the finale entirely to be honest. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show overall and a lot more than I thought I would. I highly recommend!

This show was out of this world adorable!!

I absolutely adored this show! This was so cute and I loved all the characters. I can't lie, I only started this because I saw Aston was in it, but I am so glad I watched this. I did love seeing Aston whenever he showed up of course, but I really looked forward to the new episodes every week!

I loved Niran and Cheewa as well as all of their friends. I loved seeing Niran's growth throughout the show of figuring out more of who he is as well as dealing with his family issues. Cheewa was my favorite character in the show! He was so smart, funny, and so forward and I loved that so much. Seeing these two grow closer over the show was so sweet. I believe this is my first time watching SeaKeen in something and I really adored them. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for what they do in the future!

This is one of those real feel-good shows that are just so nice to watch. The story was entertaining, the characters were great, and you could tell all the actors really enjoyed doing this show together. My only complaint about the show is the finale felt a little rushed to me, but other than that, I loved it.

Stunning 1950s Setting and Two Promising Couples, but a Slow Start

First of all, I have to give credit to GMMTV for doing an amazing job recreating Bangkok in the 1950s. The attention to detail is incredible, from the vintage buses, clothing, hairstyles, old buildings and shops to the warehouses and overall atmosphere. Everything feels carefully designed to transport us back to 1956. Even the way the characters dress and style their hair fits the era perfectly. GMMTV clearly put a lot of effort into this production, and for me, this is easily one of the biggest highlights of the series so far.

The story follows two rival gang leaders in 1956 Bangkok, whose long history of conflict becomes even more complicated when unexpected romances begin to develop. With revenge, loyalty, forbidden love and an enemies to lovers storyline, there is definitely plenty of potential.

ForceBook are finally back, and they look absolutely incredible in their 1950s outfits. I love seeing them in a completely different setting, and their chemistry is something I’m really looking forward to. We also have a second main couple, Great and Bright, with Bright being from one of my favourite BLs, I Feel You Linger in the Air. Both couples look fantastic together, and I’m excited to see how their relationships develop.

However, I have to be honest. Episode 1 didn’t particularly stand out to me. We had several fighting scenes, but GMMTV’s fight choreography was just okay. It wasn’t terrible, but compared to other action series I’ve watched, it wasn’t particularly impressive either. The action lacked the intensity and excitement I was hoping for, especially considering this is a gangster series.

For now, I’m giving bonus points for the incredible attention to detail in recreating the 1950s, the acting and, of course, both main couples. Unfortunately, the storyline itself hasn’t quite grabbed my attention yet. Nothing in the first episode really blew me away or left me desperate for the next episode.

That being said, I’m still excited about the potential of this series. We have a whopping 16 episodes, which means four months of following these characters, with the series not finishing until February 2027. There is plenty of time for the story, romance and rivalry to develop into something special.

It’s only the first episode, so I’m keeping an open mind. The production is beautiful, the cast looks incredible and both couples have plenty of potential. Now I just need the storyline to deliver the same level of quality as the visuals.

Hate Zombie shows, Adored this!

really the thought of watching a zombie series filled me with dread, but reviews were intersesting and had nothing else to watch. So glad I did. This is so interestingly written, and crafted that I was hooked. Please give it a try because it will impress with its sly BL take that makes the show far more interesting than others. And it avoids almost all the tropes of Bl's and Zombie shows.
A wonderful hybrid. Have a great weeked binging, bring a bowl of popcorn with lots of butter and maybe a glass of wine. Just enjoy. It will surprise you. Wouldn't mind another season.

A fun rom-com with an electrifying twist!

A pleasant and entertaining rom-com with a slightly original premise: the whole electricity and recharging concept adds a fun twist to an otherwise very familiar story.

Chae Soo-bin is adorable as always, and she is one of the drama’s biggest strengths. Kim Young-kwang is also more than decent as the male lead, and the two have excellent chemistry throughout the series, even in the more emotional and melodramatic moments. Their interactions are easily the highlight.

The supporting cast is a more mixed bag. Her family — parents, sister and brother — is lovely, but some of the other characters are rather underdeveloped and drawn with very little nuance. The grandmother, in particular, feels like a missed opportunity.

The drama is packed with rom-com clichés — probably all of them! — and occasionally slips into caricature. Another familiar weakness is the tendency to portray characters in their thirties as overly childish. A little of this can be funny, but when it goes on for too long, it becomes tiring and hard to believe.

The ending is predictable, as one would expect from this kind of rom-com, but it works well enough. The 10-episode format is also a good choice: the story remains enjoyable without being unnecessarily stretched.

Nothing groundbreaking, then, but a fun watch with a charming leading lady and a couple that genuinely works.

Why did I even watch it...

don't even know why I started watching this. I watched the first episode and I wanted to drop it already, but I decided to give it a chance. I still enede up not liking it. Suzuki is the character that just made me so annoyed and frustrated. I just don't get why he had to be so dumb and awkward in some cringe way, like I really didn't like that character at all. The other characters were pretty good and really liked Takeuchi.

The kissing scenes were so bad!!! The last scene of episode 10 was so underwhelming. It felt so emotionless and flat. Suzuki was literally just standing there doing nothing. It was like the show wanted us to feel something during that moment, but it just wasn't giving what it was supposed to give. There was no emotional impact whatsoever. It was just so boring and disappointing.

I pretty much skipped ep 11 completely cause It was so boring. The story wasn't good, nor was their relationship. Honestly idk how people say this is in their top 5 bl's.

Good Cast But Lack Stepping Ground On 1st Eps

I’ll provide a quick review of this drama. While the cast—including Fukushi Sota and Shida Sara—is quite good, I was disappointed that the first episode failed to capture my interest. The plot feels rather strange and illogical (at least compared to other Japanese dramas I’ve watched in the same genre). Furthermore, the storyline involving the two journalists (Hayama Shono and his companion) in the first episode also struck me as nonsensical. It’s a real shame, especially since the martial arts choreography—which was showcased right from the first episode—is actually quite good. There are so many excellent dramas this season, so I’ve decided to drop this one.

If Only I Could See the Last Twilight Again

Last Twilight is one of those dramas that I honestly can't seem to move on from. I've already finished watching it, and I've watched other dramas since then, but somehow, I always find myself coming back to this one. I wake up, open my phone, and end up watching Day and Mhok clips again. I thought I was finally moving on, but apparently, I'm not. And honestly, I don't mind it because there's just something about this series that makes me want to revisit its world over and over again.

One of my first impressions while watching Last Twilight was how natural everything felt. I knew it was a BL, of course, but somehow, I didn't feel like I was watching a BL in the usual sense. I wasn't constantly thinking about the fact that the main characters were two men falling in love. I was simply watching Day and Mhok as two people living their lives, getting to know each other, struggling, growing, and eventually falling in love. I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way because I mean it as a compliment to the storytelling, not as a criticism of the genre. The story made me so immersed in their lives that the genre label simply faded into the background.

What I love most is that the series feels like more than just a romance. The characters have their own personalities, flaws, struggles, and lives outside their relationship. Even the supporting characters feel like real people with their own stories. The writing doesn't need to make every scene overly dramatic or every interaction overly romantic to make me feel something. Sometimes, it's the simplest conversations, little gestures, ordinary moments, and quiet interactions that stay with me. The whole series almost feels like watching a documentary about real people rather than fictional characters. The acting, direction, cinematography, editing, and OST all contribute to that feeling. And Jimmy and Sea's chemistry makes Day and Mhok's relationship feel so genuine. It's not just about the kilig or romantic scenes; I genuinely enjoy watching them simply exist together.

I also appreciate how the story handles its characters' struggles and growth. Day's journey was never just about his eyesight. It was about independence, identity, acceptance, relationships, and learning that life can still be meaningful even when things don't turn out the way you expected. I love that the story allows its characters to be imperfect and human. They don't always make the right decisions, and not everything is resolved easily. That's what makes them relatable to me.

And speaking of the ending, I know some viewers would have preferred an ending where Day never regained his sight, and I understand that perspective. That could have been a meaningful and realistic ending, too. But personally, I loved the ending we got. I found it refreshing that the story chose to give Day another possibility, another reason to look forward to the future. It also wasn't something that happened overnight. Years had passed before he got another opportunity through an eye donor. I think that's realistic in its own way, too. Realism doesn't always have to mean choosing the most painful outcome, and giving a character hope doesn't automatically make a story unrealistic. Day had already learned to live, grow, find happiness, and experience love before he regained his sight. His journey wasn't erased by the ending. If anything, it gave him another chapter to look forward to. I don't think a happy ending takes away from the struggles a character has experienced. Sometimes, it's just as meaningful to show that good things can still happen after everything.

I think that's why Last Twilight has stayed with me so much. I don't just miss Day and Mhok as a couple. I miss the entire experience of watching their lives unfold, discovering their personalities, witnessing their little moments, and slowly becoming attached to every part of their story. Even now, I still enjoy revisiting random scenes, little interactions, and moments that might seem ordinary but feel special to me. I can watch their clips repeatedly without getting tired of them, because somehow, going back to their world still gives me the same feeling.

If there's one thing I wish I could do, it's to watch Last Twilight again for the very first time. To experience all the emotions without knowing what's going to happen, to meet these characters again, to discover every little detail, and to fall in love with the story all over again. I'm honestly a little jealous of people who haven't watched it yet because they still have the chance to experience everything for the first time. I wish I could have that feeling again, that excitement of discovering Day and Mhok's story without knowing where it would take me. I already know how everything unfolds, but a part of me wishes I could go back to that first episode and experience it all over again. Some stories are just that special. And Last Twilight will always be one of those stories for me. ❤️

A good movie to pass the time

This movie was mostly action and didn't really spend any time emotionally connecting you to the characters. I didn't care if any of them died because I didn't know them, and honestly, my favorite character was the tow truck driver's dog. He was a cutie, and I was constantly looking for him. SO yeah, if you're looking for a movie that will get you emotionally invested in the characters, this isn't it.

Good action and CGI? It's one of the things that Korea does right. It didn't feel like they used the full scale of the bridge as they could have, but maybe that's the Final Destination part of my brain thinking that.

The story could have been a little more in-depth. For example, they could have shown us more of the experiments and test runs in a flashback. The researcher could have been more useful in getting around the dogs throughout the movie instead of only at the end. They could have included the rescue team's POV. Just something to make the story more interesting than going back and forth on the bridge being chased by the dogs.

It was a good movie, but it lacked substance.
