It went from fluffshit to something dark and deepshit
I initially watched The MiddleMan one. Comparing it that spinoff is a complete 180. It was such a dark prequel to be followed by loveydovey spinoff sequel. Dare i say, i love the chemistry of NetJames. Shame that they parted ways.The Plot was really that deep and just stuffed with themes of SA and abus3 mostly on Uea's part. I pitied his character bcuz he went through so much and was trying to really get a firm grip of whats happening around him. His terrible past, abusive mother, pervy stepdad, his ex cheating on him and harassing him and that one maniac executive to top it all off. Plot wssnt that significant enough to be examined thoroughly. It's in your face; straightforward. Without the excess fluff and bed scenes, the story revolves around past and current struggles of Uea. I kinda hope that his mother would get her marbles together but they didnt reconcile til the end. There was no change in their relationship. I mean i get it. Youve been disgusted by your own mother bcuz you're gay and all. It took decades to forgive her. I get that. I wont force my point too. King is the only light for Uea and it did to me as well. He helped the stressful scenes a bit easy to handle.
The negatives i could point out would be
1. The length of each ep. This applies to all bl series with lengthy minutes each episode. It drags by when the ep is long. We could cut it to like 20-30 mins, lol.
2. Unnecessary inclusion of that malicious higher-up. That son ovabitch is really getting on my nerves. Even if he do nothing, that's enough for me to slide my arm through the screen and smack him. I hate his persuasive and intrusive nature. The neediness toward Ueaand using quid pro quo is just plain and painfully disgusting. The series could do better without him honestly. That unsolicited visit to Uea's house is abominable. Just all of that.
3. Ex cameo scene. I hate that scene so much. Uea's ex harasses him in the parking lot. The producer could just have written it off as something we should move on. Hes unimportant to the plot. It's all nonsense getting him back to the scene. Yeah he cheated. That's it.
4. Uea's attitude. Bottom leads really has it. That annoying shitty ass attitude. Hes prone to pushing people away. I understand bcuz of stress and anxiety he undergoes. I find it also annoying that he likes to be in danger. Id be scolding him when he do something very stupid.
5. That stupid fixed match. It complicates the plot for no reason. That gave me major headache vibes. Im just glad it was brushed off that fast lol. That's less trouble if that's not considered while making this series.
For the positives. The plot is straightforward. The chemistry of two main leads. The good ending we had. Just all that.
Overall, this is a series. Not bad, not that mid bcuz it's deep. There were times I'm upset with things happening there. Sometimes i find comfort in filler moments just like those moments with Yim's character. He lightens up the situation. His character's persona is just a breather. Im just stressed out that sometimes i cuss Uea, his mother, the abusive executive and the stressful scenes in the series. I kinda enjoy the steamy scenes but that didnt deter me away to point out the flaws of this series. All in all, this is a decent series. What's done is done. The end.

Amazing!! Will definitely watch again and will recommend
I have been waiting for this series and O.M.G. it did not disappoint. ZeeNew's acting is next level and their team's efforts in making this show is not wasted. DMD is setting standards in BL universe.The story is definitely well thought out. I can see myself watching this show again after finishing all of the episodes.

"Is it thrown because it was deflated " Or "It deflated because it was thrown "
"I am like this because of my living...."OR " I am the reason I am living like this"
watching this really made me think so deep, after a long a time a kdrama made me think so deep. the character ( twins ) are so different yet same
i love how they told us about workplace bullying , we can understand a child making fun of other child ( children means age 1-9 ) after that they have the understanding
but adults who work in a big company and got there education from some prestigious universities are bullying each other , and the fact the law never does anything, the law or just everyone is with the person who has power even if they have done something wrong
we often think we know few people who are really close to us , but the real truth is that we don't anyone, we don't know what a person is going through but we people as a society always judge but then if someone , person who has even a little bit of courage speaks about it we make them our next victim and this cycle goes on and nobody tried to stop it
this a amazing k drama , i am just 2 ep into it and I am loving it
Highy recommend

Top form the best
The Top Form series is an adaptation of my favorite anime, but in my opinion, it is much better and more beautiful than the anime. The acting is very strong and emotional.. All the sequences are artistically and eye-catchingly directed. The chemistry between Kapel is very strong and they have become my favorite KapelThe NC scenes are very artistic and mesmerizing, which I have never seen in any B.E.L. Jane and Akin will never be forgotten for me... this series will remain in my heart forever

The main couple couldn't ever work out in real life. Toma is the quiet type the one that don't do bold statements and flashy gestures.
The other one is the unconfident one that always overthink everything from interactions to words spoken. They didn't work out. I'm all for opposites attract but there still need to be common ground.

Jo Jung Suk - you gotta love him!
This was an enjoyable watch. The highlights for me were when the 99's were all together - now I have to go back and re-watch HP1 & 2 yet again! I also loved when Moon Sang Hoon was being a total fanboy over IU.The songs were lovely, and Jo Jung Suk has a beautiful and powerful voice. His creative process was a little tedious to watch at times, but I loved everyone coming together to help him out.

The Usual
Lately, I want to cry every time I watch a South Korean BL. Why? Because I am always feeling as if I am intruding where I do not belong. Everything feels so inconvenient, dark, depressing, angsty, and most of all invasive. And no one, and I mean no one, is ever happy, smiling, or appears to be human. I KNOW that is a sweeping generalization, but I feel it deep down to my core. They are seem so repressed and unwilling, or more aptly, unable to truly be themselves. Everyone and subsequently everything feels suppressed and gets repressed. A certain righteous order and decorum must be maintained at all costs. I am not judging, honestly; merely observing. From an outsider looking in. I am frankly not sure how they define happiness or even if they could (especially sexual fulfillment). This is your traditional tropey love story. I wish I could be more creative describing it, but I simply cannot. It all wallows in the same tired old tropey trite theme of no communication and/or miscommunication. Isn't this getting old?Was this review helpful to you?

The only saving grace was the flashbacks that saw a beautiful friendship between two boys that was so wholesome and I was more interesting then the present moment.
But how did he recognise Lee Jun. They were so young and their looks have changed quite a bit.
I skimmed the whole thing, nothing interested me

Teenage Angst, Drama, Obsession, Nail Painting and BlackPink
This seems to be the most quirky, feminized Thai gay love story that I enjoy. But despite some femme get-ups, the characters retain a certain masculine balance.
I binge-watched this while looking for a BL series to enjoy over a weekend. I tried to watch 2 episodes for a start, but I ended up liking it. So I finished the whole series until the ghostly hour.
It managed to convey different emotions from me. I hate some parts where Chian was leading Fou4mod and when Fou4mod got a girlfriend in an attempt to spite and forget Chian. I love and empathize Bua's character while I pity Baabin's obsession with Fou4mod. I gushed when Bua and Baabin got together eventually.
The series rightfully demonstrates how love can be toxic when you let obsession overrule your cognitive reasoning. This is particularly true among Gen Z youths, in an era when fashion, Kpop, rebel creativity and the need for individualism have been pushed as the standard to make this generation different from the previous generations.
The series showcases a daisy chain of love polygons, which is why I find it very quirky. But the story is too good and too unique for me to end up liking it.

Legend of Zang Hai β Straight-Up Masterclass in Playing People
If youβre into shows that teach you how to manipulate, outsmart your enemies, and serve cold revenge like a boss, Legend of Zang Hai (2025) is totally your jam. Xiao Zhan kills it as Zang Haiβthis ainβt just action and mystery, itβs a full-on guide to how to mess people up smart.Plot Thatβs All Kinds of Twisted
Zang Hai, who used to go by Zhi Nu, sees his whole fam get wiped out by this dude Duke Ping Jin (played by Huang Jue). So, what does he do? Dips for ten years, gets crazy smart in war tactics, politics, and even feng shui and architecture. Then he rolls back to the capital under a new name and slides into the Dukeβs inner circle as his advisorβplotting to tear him down from the inside, slow and silent, and off course with mysterious sweet smiles on his face.
Divide and Conquer Like a Pro
Sneaky AF: Zang Hai gains the Dukeβs trust while playing puppet master behind the scenes. He sparks beefs inside the palace and lets his enemies take each other out.
Mind Games Galore: He reads people like booksβspots their weak points, strokes their egos, feeds their fears, and boomβcheckmate.
Ride or Not?: Teams up with folks like Xiang An Tu (Zhang Jing Yi), but only when itβs useful. Heβll flip the script the second it stops benefiting him. Cold, but smart.
Xiao Zhanβs Ice-Cold Performance
Xiao Zhanβs performance is π₯. He takes Zang Hai from broken and bitter to cold-blooded mastermind. Every glare, every moveβfeels like heβs playing 4D chess while everyone else is on checkers.
Some People Ainβt Feeling It
Yeah, some say the pace drags or that Zang Haiβs too perfectβlike heβs always five steps ahead. But honestly, thatβs what makes it dope. Heβs not your classic good guyβheβs a savage tactician who doesnβt blink.
Final Take: Must-Watch If You Love Power Plays
Legend of Zang Hai isnβt just about revenge. Itβs a whole blueprint on how to divide, dominate, and come out on top. If youβre into power games and mind battles, this show is a goldmine.
Rating: 9/10 β Straight fire. Heavy strategy, killer drama, top-tier acting. Donβt sleep on it.

Kinda differ than usual story line
When I first started watching this I was expecting it to be like any other thriller, the one where plot usually revolves around guy or girl taking revenge for her lost loved one. But here (even tho that bit was there in a mild tone )it was kinda a different topic that was discussed which I liked.*Spoiler below*
From the beginning i thought it was Jin Yeong min who was the primary culprit, and he kinda turned out to be one of them, i wasn't expecting Jeong Sang hun himself to be involved too...
Anyways the storyline was okay, ending could've been better. I just hated the idea of torture that he had to endure and he himself too agreed to that ...

mixed thoughts
In my opinion, the story felt very rushed. There was no chemistry between the actors. He is called the "Soul Reaper" because of how many people he has killed. However, he falls hard for a woman he just met a week ago and is willing to compromise a lifelong revenge mission for her!? There was no chemistry or smooth build-up in the development of their romantic interest. It was paternal love until the FL suddenly realized she was in love... what?I started watching this drama because Lee Jae-Wook was starring in it, but I found it disappointing. It was interesting at first, but I didnβt enjoy the plot, which is built on the fact that the female lead and male lead are 'siblings.' I liked the OST titled "Burning Petals." Is it just me who thinks the song gave Bollywood vibes?

A MUST-WATCH DRAMA
I canβt stop talking about this dramaβitβs honestly one of the best Iβve ever seen. Every little part of it is amazing, from the storyline and script to the leads, acting, and even the smallest details. The writing is very clear and keeps you interested from start to finish. The characters are well-developed, and their relationships feel real, which makes the emotional scenes even stronger. The story moves at a good pace, not too fast or too slow, so everything feels natural.
The leads give great performances that make their characters come alive. Their chemistry is strong, making every scene between them feel real and interesting. I also like how the drama mixes serious and funny moments, which makes watching it more enjoyable.
The OSTs are amazing too. The music fits perfectly with the mood of each scene and makes the feelings stronger. You should look up the lyrics after watching because they are very meaningful and well written. The songs donβt just play in the backgroundβthey tell their own story and help you connect more with the characters and the plot.
Overall, this drama is very well made. You can tell a lot of care was put into the script, acting, music, and direction. If you want a drama that will keep you hooked and make you feel a lot, this is the one to watch. The last episode is exceptionalβitβs so perfect and natural. You wonβt regret watching it.
