i was a bit disappointed. [sort of spoilers]

When I watched the trailer, I was hooked. After I saw the trailer, I discovered that it was based on a manga, so I went ahead and read it. In the manga, the sexual tension, their chemistry, and the overall storyline were top-notch. I was very excited and was looking forward to how they were gonna portray these, especially the sexual tension.

And just as I feared. lots of parts, AND I MEAN A LOT of scenes, were not included in the movie. The movie did not include any tension before the "mystery of the black dressed yagami-san."

They did not include the part where Latin-Shinya got so happy after dancing as the woman with Ballroom-Shinya. Manga Latin-Shinya was jumping up and down because he felt like a princess. They just showed that Latin-Shinya only understood that the woman needs to be fully supported by the man.

the movie fully cut off Lantin-Shinya's family issues. The issues with his dad and his maternal family in Cuba, with 9 sisters, the reason why he didn't go international. The movie didn't show how Latin-Shinya rebelled against his father. How his opponents thought he deserved to be in the first place.

They didn't include the sponsor that Ballroom-Shinya got for Latin-Shinya, and they fought because of this.

the movie only showed that Latin-Shinya found Ballroom-Shinya dancing in the snow, but they didn't show that they also danced in the snow together.

the movie didn't show that Latin-Shinya was having a gay-awakening, although he said he likes girls.

where are Norman and angie? Norman was supposed to teach Latin-Shinya? I really wanted to see his Cheetahs.

the Latin world champions were missing too.

I only read up to vol 6. But I found so much lackings in the movie. Other viewers who didn't read the manga are questioning the lack of relationship development.

Whoever decided to cast Dew, Pond and P'Gun together is a genius❤️❤️

I don't know why I've been avoiding this masterpiece for so long. I finally watched it only for Pond and I'm glad I did. I mean the story, the direction, the suspense and the acting all of them were just amazing. Honestly I don't know how to put it in words because I just finished it and I'm still a little into it but everyone must give it a try. This was the first series I've seen of Dew before this, I've never seen his acting and I actually loved it a lot. I know Pond and P’Gun are already great actors and to cast Dew with them was I think the best choice. In short I'll give this a 10 on 10 and would definitely recommend everyone to watch it once🤌❤️

Not that memorable drama

I watched it when i am on Huang Yunyun binge drama. Not really know of Cheng Qiaosi work. This is my first review about him. They have the chemistry feeling. The plot is kind of stupid because FL was 'cheated' with ML who didn't know they actually have sex together (The term is i cheated with my own husband). The hidden identity plot is quite frustrating. ML didn't have brain to investigate what really happened so too much misunderstanding.

The MUA artist failed to hide ML real tattoo (please use the foundation more) which make me distracting.

Actually this work is not memorable even i watch few times there is no iconic scene.

Top-Tier Chemistry and Steamy Moments !

You can truly never underestimate the Japanese BL industry, and I was confident from the very beginning that this drama would deliver. While it didn’t completely touch me the way I hoped and I do feel it had the potential to be even more impactful, it was still an **absolutely well-made BL** overall.

The acting was strong, the chemistry between the leads was undeniable, and the steamy intimate scenes were **exceptionally done**—natural, intense, and visually satisfying. Everything felt polished and mature, which is something Japanese BLs do extremely well.

In the end, it was definitely worth watching. I rated it a **9/10**, and I genuinely think it deserves that score. If you’re a BL fan, this is absolutely something you can give a try without hesitation.

Let Dog shines more

I watch this with zero expectation. The plot is about FL was originally evil NPC and suddenly got someone transmigrated to her body. The original plot is FL drowned ML beloved concubine maid and want to get ML concubine miscarriage. Know the ending of her life was near since ML will executed FL for hurting his beloved concubine. She wants to run from him. But ML actually being comatose for unknown reason was transform into FL Dog and know FL cursed him. ML beloved concubine smug when met FL since she will ask ML for FL death and without knowing ML is hear all of his beloved scheme.

I watch it just for dog, the Dog was smart and can acting as being dead for every time.

Still watchable for Dog scene.

Zhang Chi is sole saviour in this drama

I watch many version and this is still watchable to me. Lily Zai suits kind of meek character even her crying scene is not very convincing but with her manner she make it like broken bunny. Zhang Chi is the soul of this drama, he could make FL character flaws was not shown too much. The Chemistry is there even there is not burning too much. It has slightly 20% of their efforts. The Plot is actually quite slow paced that make you can sleep because there is dragged on the middle while they abruptly solved it fast.

Only recommended if you are fans of of both actors.

No, No, you cannot miss this absolute MASTERPIECE!!

Ryoma - A wave of Passion and Obsession
Keita- A storm of Love to calm Ryoma

If you are a BL fan and go with experiments in BL stories, you cannot miss 10 Dance. What a lovely and different story writer come up with. Lead actors have swallowed their characters completely. You cannot miss a single moment and just crave for more and more. From start to finish you adore the pair and their dancing on the floor and off the floor.

Didn't knew Japanese BL directors will do this wonder and make a movie which is out of box. I am suck in Ryoma's wordings, '2 & 3 & 4...' , the way he breath, the way he dance, the way he move, Gosh, 'm already in love with him. 💓😍

When Keita and Ryoma dance, no one can stop. Their chemistry and rhythm is outstanding.

I didn’t watch 10 Dance. I fell into it—and I haven’t climbed out since. This movie doesn’t ask for your attention; it claims it, grips it, pulls you onto the dance floor and refuses to let go. Every step, every breath between Shinya Sugiki and Shinya Suzuki feels deliberate, intimate, dangerously close. The tension isn’t loud—it’s controlled, restrained, and that’s what makes it unbearable in the best way.

Dance here isn’t performance; it’s confession. Ballroom is elegance barely holding desire back, while Latin explodes with heat, sweat, and hunger. The way their bodies learn each other before their hearts do? Obsessive. The camera lingers like it knows we don’t want to look away. And the silence between them—God, the silence—is louder than dialogue.

This film understands yearning. It understands what it means to want someone through discipline, rivalry, admiration, and denial. The chemistry isn’t rushed, it’s earned, and by the time emotions finally surface, you’re already ruined.

10 Dance isn’t just about love or dance—it’s about surrender. To passion. To obsession. To the undeniable pull of someone who becomes your rhythm. Once it starts, you won’t want it to stop. And when it ends, you’ll crave it all over again. 📌🔥

Even Tian Tianyi wont save this drama.

I almost watch all Tian Tianyi drama and this is only one that I dropped in middle way. The Plot is being used in another drama and i can completely watch that drama. Tian Tianyi in this shows her lack of emotion especially on sad scene. (Her weakness is her crying scene didn't convincing enough while the character always on melancholy mood) and Lihao acting is being stiff and lack of romance feeling when he supposed to said fluttering words. Their Chemistry is zero, i feel like i watch some Tiktok with CP that i don't like with overused song. Appreciated for editing team, but i am out for watching this drama. If you want to watch with same plot, watch another instead.

Nice CP with crap plot

I was eager to watch Zhao Zhendong-Jinzi drama since i like their Fake Socialite drama. I have 50:50 opinion about this drama. The styling for republican drama is average for me. The Chemistry is good as their first drama. The ML character is pissing me of he didn't have any progress in this drama. All he do is just force kiss, without any communication. No wonder the FL is not happy when he near her. FL didn't show she was fall with ML (understand, because she still has a little brain). Too bad FL fiancee back story is not shown too much. I doubt they will have season 2 since there is so many unresolved plot. The Villain acting is too staged and felt forced especially FL and ML stepmothers.

Wont recommend this drama, even if you are Jinzi-Zhao Zhendong CP fans.

I have a stronger love for Takumi Kun's manga, and because this is my first BL ever, I have a soft spot for the old movies, even the first one that everybody hated lol.

But this isn't a continuation to the old 2007 movie, this is a readaptation that stands alone away from all the old movies, yet somehow the 5 movies makes more sense than a full series.

First I'll not discuss the story because it's flawed, we all know that, and it's either you like it or not.
Also I'll not mention the actors here because they were really bad as if they were instructed to mirror the first movie performance.

What really bothers me was the stories that they decided to show, they way they showed them, and the screen time they gave each of the 4 couples.

I understand that this is a Takumi Kun series so Takumi and Gii are the main focus but why showing 3 other couples if you don't want to explore their relationship, also why did they decide to add another story that wasn't even mentioned in the movies, like you are already adapting 5 different movies already in a very short series, why add more to it, just focus on the stories you already have...

I also feel really really bad for the 4th movies Pure because the story of Arata and Kanemitsu is my favourite yet they messed it up and they only appeared in like 4 scenes total ~~

I believe if you won't adapt a very famous manga well, just don't... Don't ruin our favourite old shows ~

Title: Guo Fen Ye(2024) is a very nice romance miniseries adapted from the web novel "Guo Fen Ye" by Niao Song Mi with Jin Jia Yu (as He Ting Zhou) and Huang Yun Yun (as Song Shuang Xu) in the leading couple’s role. The cast did a very good job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple had a very enticing chemistry and a heartwarming and steadfast relationship that made the plot flow nicely. The drama is entertaining, enjoy it!
In the meantime, this drama can be found in YouTube under the caption: “【ENG SUB】The Forbidden Return: Exiled for Loving Her Brother, She Fell for His Dangerous Best Friend” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM1KVoPciZU)

Bom, o que posso falar sobre 10Dance é que foi uma obra na qual coloquei muita expectativa.

Mesmo já a conhecendo na adolescência, eu não me lembrava de quase nada. Os atores são maravilhosos, não poderia escolher outros, mas algo acabou pecando para mim. Talvez pela falta de diálogo entre os personagens. Mesmo tendo muita química, acredito que deveriam existir mais cenas focadas no desenvolvimento desses relacionamentos.
A obra deu bastante destaque à dança, o que achei lindo. Mesmo sem ter conhecimento nessa área, achei tudo maravilhoso e fiquei impressionada.
Enfim, o romance acabou ficando um pouco cru, mas não dá para negar que fizeram um bom trabalho ao desenvolver o drama em diversos cenários, mostrando culturas e estilos de dança diferentes. Amei ver o povo latino sendo representado.
