Omegaverse cliché done wrong
Being ThaiBL's 1st omegaverse with AlphaOmega pair and it being from MFlow none of us expected much from it except for it to be a typical omegaverse. A typical omegaverse and we'd be satisfied but they failed to do that. The only reason this is getting a 7 is cz it's BoatOat and omegaverse. Anyone who wrote and directed this has 0 clue about omegaverse 🙄The 1st 2 or 3 eps they spend it entirely on overexplaining the viewers who are literally omegaverse fans what omegaverse is😑 instead of giving us a brief idea in the 1st 5 mins of ep 1. For 3 episodes u have phatsa our clueless omega having classes on omegaverse. I get that his dad hid the fact that he was an alpha and his mom was an omega and he could have a secondary gender but I'm pretty sure in every omegaverse they have classes on omegaverse in school and their gender tested in middle school.
Then we have the pheromone issue where all 3 the alphas out of which 2 are dominant don't use their suppression pheromone when attacked 🙄 and we also had the crap where an alpha who is bonded can sleep with others😑. Uhh since when??? If so bonding wouldn't be a big deal for an alpha and nakhun wouldn't hv insisted on having phat with him and this story would have never happened. Frankly there was nothing interesting going on with the main couple their story fell flat. Worse we never got to see the baby although they did get pregnant. The only redemption is that the omega is not a damsel in distress
Now coming to the 2nd couple. I remember back then the pilot was released people were super excited about the alphabeta pair cz usually in omegaverse they're emotionally taxing. They did do a good job with showing how much of a green flag couple they are but i feel they could show a bit more abt their struggles instead of just saying things straight off. Same for the omegas, all their struggles are barely given time and just have a quick walk though instead. Again i didn't like their ending i mean they could have showed the family accepting them or atleast an engagement instead of conversation between napitch and ongsa alone
3rd couple probably the most dissapointing one cz it was supposed to be schemer and his lover kinda troupe where u fall for someone ur supposed to hurt.... or fall in love with someone who wants to hurt u.. but they ended it at napitch enslaving sangneua for life. They could have showed us their love life. Sangneua becoming friends with Phat and ongsa again and overcoming his trauma but none.
Overall the ending was kinda incomplete. I am guessing we might get special eps like my stubborn but gotta see

This one was a cute and easy watch. 🥹🤍 I liked the chemistry between them and the way their relationship slowly developed. There were some sweet moments that definitely made me smile. 🌸✨Not a new favorite for me, but still a nice little Taiwanese BL to add to the list. 💕📺

I enjoyed up to episode 9 but they messed up with the final episode
I enjoyed up to episode 9 but they messed up with the final episode.They left the final episode open...
Did not make sense.
It needed at least one more episode to make sense of it.

When everyday life becomes too everyday: a drama lost in trivialities that says nothing
Updated after Episode 26The drama started on a strong and rather dramatic note, with a promising premise that immediately caught my attention. Unfortunately, from around episode 10 onwards, the story begins to drag, gradually becoming consumed by domestic and family trivialities. What initially seemed to be developing into an engaging central story becomes predictable, polished, yet surprisingly uneventful.
An excessive amount of time is spent on household routines and supporting characters rather than advancing the main plot. Entire scenes are devoted to trivialities, often with remarkable enthusiasm considering how little of consequence is actually being said.
I also find the female lead rather flat, both in terms of characterisation and performance. As another reviewer has already pointed out, there is surprisingly little emotional complexity in her feelings towards a man she was initially meant to marry. More importantly, I feel absolutely no chemistry between the two main leads, which makes it even harder to become invested in their relationship.
The characters I found most interesting were Zhao Xing Tang, the male lead’s first wife, whose actress, as always, absolutely nails her villainous roles, and the female lead’s parents. Unfortunately, I found most of the remaining characters rather one-dimensional and forgettable. Many of the secondary characters feel underdeveloped, as if they are there mainly to move the plot forward, yet the plot itself rarely goes anywhere meaningful.
There are also rather too many convenient coincidences. Whenever the story needs two people to meet, overhear something, or appear somewhere at precisely the right moment, fate appears to be working rather unrealistically hard. The female lead, in particular, is repeatedly saved or helped by someone who happens to appear at exactly the right moment, which makes her seem more like someone who takes advantage of opportunities conveniently presented to her than someone who truly earns her successes through her own efforts.
The investigation sections and court politics feel rather weak, to the point that the household trivialities almost begin to look appealing by comparison. The drama seems to be pulling itself in too many directions, leaving the whole thing feeling rather scattered.
The directing, costumes, and overall production are good, and individual scenes are often beautifully executed. In that sense, it is certainly a well-made drama about the routines and trivialities of ordinary household life. Everyday life can be fascinating when its ordinary moments reveal something meaningful about the characters or the human condition. Here, however, everyday life becomes too everyday: too much family, too many domestic details, and too little story.
What began as a promising drama now feels, to me, like a compelling story buried beneath an impressive mountain of beautifully directed nothingness. By this point, the story has become too scattered and too uneventful in any meaningful sense for me, while the female lead simply isn’t compelling enough to keep me invested. It has also become increasingly predictable where the story is heading. For these reasons, I’ve decided to drop it.

GREAT 9 episodes.... questionable last episode.
I loved this series all through out it and all the actors have done a phenomenal job. I was introduced fully to leng and august (?) Hope i got that right. Last episode i was like thats all?? Even after the credit thing the last like 15min i was like huh... if this is a novel maybe i should read it instead but this ending just missed with me. Maybe i need to rewatch later on again but right now i think im good. But maybe if there is like a special episode or something ill come back and watch that... but i did have to come back and look to make sure there wasnt any episodes added. I dont always need a happy ending but this ending didnt exactly feel finished either so.. yeah.P.s. the one dude that shot at them in the end he really needs to play a vampire...

I have so many questions?
What was the actual plot and story?What is Great's ability?
The explanation for the ability.
These are the core ones.
At the halfway point, I felt like I was watching 2 stories at the same time Great and Thyme then Tonkla and Inspector Win/Korn with little overlap with each other and so it felt chunky and muddled like reading 2 books at the exact same time.
Episode 6 I hated so much as it was just a recap of what was going on with minor changes then it changes direction again with Tonkla disappearing then reappearing again.
Characters, I didn't like any of them - they were just so bland
It was not worth the time or energy

Fluffy
I really loved the progression of their relationship it felt very realistic!! Seeing Zhang Lurang slowly open up and show more emotions over time was really endearing. 10/10 Because I love how they showed their life after highschool as well and didn't just leave the rest of the story up to the viewers interpretation.Was this review helpful to you?
massive turning point showing she has fully committed to him. She makes it clear to her mother not to "worry" about her as Fu Mingyu is her boyfriend and support pillar. She protects his professional integrity- like when she unfairly fails the assessment she refuses to let him speak to Captain Yue and compromise his position for her sake; she initiates a breakup so he can freely go ahead with making the reforms, protecting his business and powers. I did feel sorry for Fu Mingyu though for he did pretty much everything relentlessly to win her love. The final episodes I felt that she was equal in reciprocating his love and care by openly declaring her love for Fu and rushing to his side when he is unwell. I particularly liked the proposals (both the big red rose and the one outside the washroom 🤭) by Fu and both going on a love ride in the clouds in his newly gifted plane to her. Wow Fu is a generous lover 😍 And the wedding was another WOW! All in all this series made me happy, relaxed, chilled and also a bit inspired 💖

Saying a Lot Without Actually Saying Anything
My Stubborn is my absolute guilty pleasure and was completely carried by Boat and Oat’s chemistry and dedication to their roles. Yes, there were many side characters and sideplots, but you could clearly see the “red thread”: Jun and Sorn’s journey from Friends with Benefits to a real couple. I started Knot with similar expectations: good chemistry, great NC scenes, an okay story, and solid entertainment with every episode.I’m still a newbie to the Omegaverse. The dark-romance aspects of the genre aren't really my cup of tea. But ABO Desire was a fantastic introduction (thanks to Hua Yong, who is now one of my favorite BL characters 😁), and I managed to dive deeper into the lore through a German Omegaverse book series.
The first three episodes of Knot were genuinely good. Oat was so on point with Phat’s emotions, and Boat is made to play an Alpha. I loved the themes the plot introduced—the bond between an Alpha and his Omega alongside the soulmate bond, which feels like a pre-determined fate for Phat’s life. I was so excited to watch Phat and Nakhun navigate this together and eventually fall in love, much like in My Stubborn.
But then episode 4 released, followed by episode 5… and I just couldn’t defend the series anymore. I’m usually able to ignore certain flaws in BL dramas, but I was genuinely hyped for Knot. Plus, with so many exceptional BLs airing this year, the drop in quality stands out even more.
I’m intentionally comparing Knot to My Stubborn because they share the same director, production team, and largely the same cast.
The production of Knot is surprisingly weak, and a low budget isn't an excuse, as other series have proven. The camera angles, sound, and editing were terribly lacking in this one. It feels like the entire budget went into the location and outfits. Now, My Stubborn almost feels like a high-budget production by comparison.
What negative-impressed me was how many lines some characters had—without conveying any actual substance. Phat and Nakhun talked constantly, yet rarely with each other. Then there was Folk (Sangnuea) with his massive villain monologue and the repetitive plot points (like the land purchase or the dad 😬). It was a classic case of saying a lot without actually saying anything. In contrast, Jame (Naphitch) had barely any lines in his few scenes.
The writers completely missed the chance to show the actual development of Phat and Nakhun’s relationship. After the first few episodes, the two barely spent any meaningful time together to actually get to know each other.
Instead, the production focused on a hundred other things. I tried to list all the sideplots:
- The bonding between Nakhun and Phat
- Phat learning about the Omegaverse
- The brothers trying to buy the land
- Amintra trying to stop the purchase
- Amintra being in love with her bodyguard (??)
- Tim’s bar
- Naphitch being the half-brother
- Someone trying to frame Naphitch
- Tim and Sangnuea’s story
- The father searching for the Pure Omega
Did I miss anything? 😁
Most of these storylines were barely addressed or glossed over (especially the anticlimactic end to the Pure Omega search 😅). Most of the supporting characters lacked any real purpose. I would have loved to see more of Amintra and Nakhin’s friendship or learn why Nakhin and Ongsa’s relationship isn’t accepted (I know the general reasons, but it deserved to be explored further). Naphitch and Sangnuea’s storyline felt particularly wasted. The build-up had so much potential, but it badly needed more screentime and better scriptwriting.
I get that MFlow wanted to showcase their actors for future projects, but the production team should have recognized when enough was enough.
The most disappointing part for me, however, was the execution of Nakhun and Phat’s dynamic. Boat and Oat have incredible chemistry—both on and off screen—and you can tell they gave their all for these roles. Yet something was missing. I loved their dynamic in My Stubborn because Boat and Oat brought so much life to Jun and Sorn. It was fun, endearing, and felt organic. Knot had its cute moments too, but because the characters skipped a proper getting-to-know-you phase, their chemistry couldn't shine through as well. If Boat had been allowed to do more with his role than just play the typical stern, serious Alpha, Nakhun could have been much more layered.
I suppose I was hoping for more Alpha-brother power dynamics or subtle mafia vibes—basically, more show, don’t tell.
On the other hand, the NC scenes somehow ended up feeling way too long, even if they actually weren't in terms of screen time. The first ones (especially that very first one 😳) were top-notch as always with Boat and Oat. But later on, simply implying them might have worked much better to keep the momentum going 😉
On a positive note: whoever styled Boat absolutely nailed it! He looks incredible as Nakhun (no beard this time 😉). Overall, the styling for the entire cast was top-notch—the styling team clearly had a blast.
Honestly, I think Boat and Oat could thrive even more under a different production company with better scripts. But at the same time, I realize how competitive the Thai BL industry is and why actors prefer staying with an agency that offers them steady work.
Maybe MFlow’s next projects will be more like My Stubborn in terms of production. I’m still looking forward to them, just with slightly lower expectations 😉
I hope my thoughts make sense! English isn’t my first language 😅

What the hell was the ending?
It tried to be LUAT so bad, yet failed miserably. I was so dissapointed.First ep was decent, but the moment the durian episode came... I knew this show is not gonna be good.
And this is also why I'm mad at the ending. I was expecting one more episode, because it felt so incomplete... BUT NO! This is it!
So they rushed the ending... but had time for wasting an ENTIRE episode ON A FAHKING DURIAN AD? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! And what happened with Dech? What did he do? Did he perform the spell on himself and was brought to the future? Or was it a reincarnation?
I don't even want to talk about the acting and non-existent chemistry. The only couple that was kinda ok was the doctor and the male nurse.
When the main leads had to do a slightly romantic interaction, they looked like they would rather be anywhere else.
Acting 101: If you're playing as lovers, you can't pull disgusted faces. (Looking at you, Leng... sorry)
Ok, they did try in ep 9, but the kiss was still very... uncomfortable looking?
Also the story... many characters had no purpouse... Plots that went nowhere... What's up with Falcons storyline? Guess we'll never know? And his "girl" Marie? Why was she there... like... at all? I could think of at least 5 characters that could be deleted and it wouldn't impact the story.

A love story about growing up, letting go, and getting a second chance
🌸 Story & pacingWhat I loved most about Early Spring is that, unlike so many dramas where an entire relationship somehow happens within three months 😂, this story unfolds over several years. We actually get to see Luke and Flora grow together, change, make mistakes and give each other multiple chances.
Ironically, the synopsis made me expect the break-up much earlier. It says they have been together for six years before separating, yet we only reach that point around episode 21/24. And with “Second Chance” as one of the tags, I initially wondered what was taking so long!
But by the end, I think “Second Chance” makes much more sense. This isn’t really a story about one second chance. It’s about all the little second chances Luke and Flora have throughout their relationship, the problems they repeatedly fail to resolve, and finally the major second chance that comes after they truly break apart.
❤️ Luke & Flora
Their relationship is complicated, and that’s exactly what made it interesting.
Luke can be possessive, jealous and incredibly sharp when he’s angry. He sometimes knows exactly where to hurt Flora with his words. Yet he also respects her boundaries, supports her, and his love language is basically hugs, forehead kisses and being there for her. When they are happy together, they are genuinely adorable.
A line near the end sums up their dynamic surprisingly well: “He was arrogant and she was insecure.” Those two traits explain so much of what went wrong between them.
Their biggest problem is communication. Flora tends to keep her problems to herself, while Luke often makes decisions without explaining everything. Even after years together, they don’t always trust each other enough to share the difficult things.
The harassment storyline and, later, the tragedy involving Flora’s roommate really highlight this. Flora doesn’t tell Luke about some incredibly traumatic events, even though he is her partner. I understood why she was afraid of his reaction, but it also showed just how unhealthy their communication could become.
👩💼 Flora’s growth
Flora’s professional journey was one of my favourite parts.
At the beginning, Luke repeatedly tells her that she isn’t suited to the job and should resign. She is insecure about her abilities, especially compared with him, but she refuses to give up.
Over the years, she becomes confident, capable and independent. Other managers even try to recruit her when they leave the company, showing just how far she has come.
The actress also sells this beautifully. Her clothes, make-up, hairstyle and overall presence gradually change as her confidence grows.
And I loved seeing her eventually build her own company after leaving her old life behind. She proves that she can succeed without Luke.
🌱 Luke’s growth
Luke also has a proper character arc.
He eventually realises that some of his behaviour is turning him into the person he doesn’t want to become: his father. That forces him to reflect and change.
The most satisfying part comes after the break-up. He doesn’t immediately get Flora back. He suffers, takes time to reflect, and eventually disappears from her life for around a year or two.
When he returns, Flora has boundaries.
And this time, he respects them.
He initially tries a little too hard to get back into her life, even meeting her parents, but he eventually understands that he can’t simply expect Flora to take him back. His excuse for seeing her again is hilariously simple: he wants to see the dog. 😂
But underneath that excuse, we can see that he genuinely wants to rebuild their relationship properly.
🏠 The found family
The roommates were another lovely part of the drama.
The four of them gradually become a little found family in Beijing, each coming from a different background and dealing with their own struggles.
I especially liked Flora’s friendship with Lumi, her female mentor and superior. Lumi brings a really refreshing energy to the story and supports Flora both professionally and personally.
The roommates’ storylines also give the drama emotional depth, particularly the devastating revelation about the roommate’s depression and suicide. It completely changes the atmosphere and makes Flora’s decision to keep everything from Luke even more painful.
💔 The break-up
And then came episode 21.
After years of smaller conflicts and missed opportunities, everything finally explodes.
The break-up is messy, painful and absolutely heartbreaking. They say things specifically designed to hurt each other:
“I hate this ugly, disgusting, filthy relationship. I’m ending it.”
“I am just a tool for your career.”
“We never loved each other. We don’t trust each other. I wasted six years by your side.”
Ouch. 👀
Flora finally reaches her limit. She breaks up with Luke, resigns, moves back to her parents and even changes her phone number.
For once, she chooses herself.
💍 The ending
The final three episodes were honestly my favourite part.
Luke finally has to confront what he has lost. We see how much he suffers and, more importantly, that he genuinely changes rather than simply promising to change.
Meanwhile, Flora builds a successful life of her own.
When Luke eventually returns, their second chance feels earned because they aren’t simply going back to the relationship they had before. They have both grown, and Flora makes sure that Luke understands her boundaries.
And then they get married, completing something that was part of Flora’s bucket list. 🥹
🎬 Final thoughts
Early Spring isn’t a story about a perfect relationship. It’s about two imperfect people who genuinely love each other but have to learn how to communicate, grow and become better versions of themselves.
There were moments when I genuinely wondered whether Luke was a green flag or a red flag, and honestly, I think the answer is both. 😂
The long timeline is one of the drama’s biggest strengths. Watching Luke and Flora evolve over several years makes their relationship feel much more believable than the usual whirlwind romances.
Beautiful romance, strong character development, career growth, found family, emotional drama and a genuinely satisfying second chance.
And yes, making me wait until episode 21 for the break-up advertised in the synopsis was criminal.
⭐ Definitely one I’ll remember.

I really, really enjoyed Perfect Crown! ?✨
👑 K-DRAMA REVIEW — PERFECT CROWN 👑🎬 Series: Perfect Crown
📺 Platform: Disney+
🎞️ Directed by: Park Joon-hwa & Bae Hee-young
👥 Main characters: Seong Hui-ju & Grand Prince I-an
🎭 Starring: IU, Byeon Woo-seok, Steve Sanghyun Noh…
📺 12 episodes
⭐ My rating: 8.5/10
💭 MY REVIEW
First of all, let’s be honest… Byeon Woo-seok. 😂 That was obviously a very good reason to watch the drama, and I absolutely did not regret it!
I really liked the prince’s character. He’s always one step ahead of everyone else, and I loved watching him think, anticipate things and turn certain situations around. He’s definitely much smarter than he seems.
And then… Counselor Choi!!! 😂😂
Seriously, I found him way too funny. He brings so much lightness to certain scenes, and he’s definitely a character I loved watching.
❤️ IU
I think IU did such a great job. At first, I had a little trouble with her character, but as the story went on, I eventually understood that her behavior was mostly because she was sometimes misunderstood.
And in the end, I really grew attached to her.
👑 The Royal Family
I really liked the King, and especially… the little boy is way too cute. 🥹 He just wants to have a family and be surrounded by people who love him, and honestly, I really felt sorry for him.
But then…
The Queen Mother.
I hate her. 😭
And it’s not even just at the beginning: I hated her all the way through episode 10. There, I said it. 😂
💋 And let’s talk about the kisses…
Because honestly, I was NOT expecting that. 😂😂
We’re definitely not talking about the cute little kisses you get in some K-dramas. I was literally like: OH, OKAY THEN??? 👀
I really loved their chemistry and their relationship, even though some situations frustrated me at times.
🏛️ The Sets & Costumes
Another huge favorite of mine was the visual aspect of the drama. The sets and costumes are incredible. They really give the drama its own identity, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere.
And then I have to talk about the Prime Minister…
At first, I genuinely felt sorry for him. I thought I understood his character and had some sympathy for him.
BUT THAT ENDING???
He really hid his true intentions so well, and I was absolutely outraged. 😭
And let me tell you, by the end, I felt a LOT less sorry for him. 😂
✨ OVERALL
Perfect Crown is a drama I really enjoyed for its mix of romance, politics, royal family drama and humor. I loved the supporting characters, the sets, the costumes, and especially some of the plot twists.
Of course, there were a few characters who annoyed me more than others 😂, but overall, I had such a great time watching this series.
⭐ My rating: 8.5/10

Was there supposed to be another episode!
Sound design needs a smack! Who decided to add that weird beeping on and off through the episodes, do you know how many times this show has had me checking to see if the fridge had been left open, or the washer was finished! How often i paused to check, is it the show, or the fire alarm on low battery! Is it symbolic for Great's condition? I really don't know, but it was very unnecessary and kept taking me out of the show.Anyway, on with the show! The acting was good, and i genuinely enjoyed watching everyone, felt invested in their relationship, although i was a bit disappointed with the later episodes that felt a bit lacklustre, and just not enough drama happening for me.
Its an easy to watch show, but be prepared, the last episode, is fine up until the last 5-10 minutes where you feel like 'what the heck'. It actually ends in a way that makes you feel like the footage for the last episode accidentally got deleted and the team just decided to release it anyway.
Don't go into this expecting LUAT, you will be disappointed, the actors do a good job, and the story is easy enough to watch if a bit flat. I recommend the show if you want easy no stress watching, but it desperately needs a special episode releasing to actually finish the show.
