You won't regret watching this series
t’s been a long time since a TV series made me laugh, cry, get excited, disappointed, and then get excited all over again—but mostly just stay completely glued to the screen.
The best thing about this show is the performance of the two lead actors, and what’s hard to believe is that this is the first serious acting role for both of them. They brought a captivating sincerity and an undeniable chemistry to the screen that makes it hard to take your eyes off them.
Yes, the plot isn’t perfect—there are a few plotlines that could be better and scenes I would have skipped or done differently—but I can honestly say that this show, and especially its main actors, have found a big special place in my heart.
I really, really hope to see them in a second season!

this is not a typical drama, its filled with second hand emarassment and is a complete meme material. in my opinion, its a big hit because its like that, a lot cringey and funny, not something that you generally expect when you start watching a show that too in a mafia setting, also the actors really did a great work, especially pond naravit, who brought khun thee to life. the acting was really good and done without any visible inhibition. loved it!
in conclusion, its a show that you can definately watch when you are down to feel good, its every episode is an absolute masterpiece. one thing is that you cannot be bored with it, and if you are watching it for the first time, its full of surprises, things that you cannot even think of doing of are done by them in the show, its unpredictable, you'll be screaming at the screen telling the characters not to do something and thats what they'll do. but its definately worth watching.

Usually, I don’t like Chinese dramas with too many couples because it becomes messy and hard to focus on one story. But in this drama, I loved all three main couples. Every couple had amazing chemistry, and that made the drama more enjoyable.
The casting was also very good. All the actors and actresses matched their roles perfectly. Even though Zheng Li may not be considered very beautiful by some people, it honestly doesn’t matter because her acting and chemistry were strong enough to make her character lovable.
I must also mention Ma Yi Yi, Zheng Li’s friend in the drama. She is absolutely beautiful and has such a stunning look on screen.
Overall, this drama is worth watching. It may not be unique or extraordinary, but the chemistry, casting, and performances make it enjoyable.

Not typical handsome actors
I watch this because of the story and Lim Ji-Yeon who has been a good actress. but I didn't e xpect to see they pick ugly actors. small ling eyes on a big pale face or wrinkle eyes with weird ears...As I like the story, always love time traveling story, having Lim Ji-Yeon acting, I will finish it.ps. someone should fix this dite, the ads don't show up on the right place while on the phone, also ask to review at least 300 characters but not counting

Unrealized potential
A story about a queer woman obsessed with her straight (?) best friend that leads nowhere because it didn't go all-out with the characters, their relationships with one another and their feelings about each other's actions. The drama had all the ingredients to do a Fatal Attraction type of story, but when it reached its peak, with the character of Kyoko going fully insane about Miho, it gave up and did a quick and ineffective redemption that left me wanting more. Equally unsuccessful was the relationship between Miho and Shintani, I can see the full picture of Miho consistently making concessions to the different ways Kyoko and Shintani caused her harm, but the drama never truly dealt with that characteristic, it just wrapped everything with a bow to give the story a happy ending that didn't make sense. For me there was no happy ending, there was a woman who ended up stuck in an unfavorable situation with a psychotic friend and a man who proved to be weak and uncaring.Was this review helpful to you?

Not very good
This drama wasn't very good. The story was ok, but had some strange moments in it. For example him just opening the door while there is a stalker out there.That confrontation with his brother in his house, they were not close, but suddenly the brother and manager are in his house without ringing the doorbel or knocking?
The acting wasn't very good, the brother was the only actor that really did a good job.
There was no chemistry between the mains, at least the kiss was good.

The series is definitely worth watching.
Yes, most serial killers and criminals were once victimized children, often harmed by their own parents. The series is definitely worth watching. I love detective stories — this is exactly the kind where you seem to know who’s guilty and who isn’t, but you stay on edge until the very end, constantly asking: why? What’s the connection? Dynamic, engaging, and never boring. I read that many people think the first season is the strongest, but I disagree. The best thing the directors did was not simply continue the same story — each season is unique and completely different from the previous one.Was this review helpful to you?
Must Watch!
I’ve never watched a Thai BL series before, and this is my first one. I just saw the preview, and I immediately loved it. I’m really impressed with Net and JJ’s chemistry, along with Latte and Kim, of course. This series is so fun to watch, and I can’t help but fall in love with the cast. I wish it were always Friday so I could watch a new episode. I’ll definitely miss this when it ends.Was this review helpful to you?

power and control
Overall: instead of love, I felt a character's obsession stemmed from power and control (i.e. abuse). Note that the series and my review may have triggering content. 12 episodes about 40 minutes each. I have not read the book this series is based on, I have watched the two one hour movies from 2016 (A Round Trip to Love) and I tried to review the series based on its own merits.Content Warnings: rape multiple times*, sexual assault/non con kissing/non con touching, intimate partner abuse and violence including choking, internal and external homophobia, deaths, grief, drugging, held against will, attempted suicide?, held against will, attempted murder, blood, punches, mental health struggles, I might be missing some content warnings
*episode 2 felt more like internalized homophobia, episode 4 was rape (it's not just fight or flight, there is also freeze, flop and friend and a person's brain can choose automatically how to respond https://rapecrisis.org.uk/get-help/tools-for-victims-and-survivors/understanding-your-response/
and episode 9/10 (not sure if it was a flashback) was also rape)
What I Liked
- acting
- sweet moments
- I did appreciate the apology in episode 2
- not a cliched woman character
Room For Improvement
- the wealthy/powerful aggressive pursuer and the not wealthy/not powerful reluctant pursuee dynamic didn't work for me because the pursuee felt more like an abuse victim most of the time
- characters were a bit stupid to realize that there could have been family interference
- after what happened in episode 9 and the first half of episode 10 it was unrealistic how everything was fine and dandy between them
- him having bipolar disorder seemed like a cop out and adds to mental health disorder stereotypes
Question: I'm not sure when this is supposed to take place. I saw landlines but also iPhones (first created in 2007). If it's set a couple decades ago, then the other students freaking out at school would make a bit more sense because I can't see that happening now.

I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version
0 people found this review helpful
MASSIVELY inaccurate, though worth watching
MASSIVELY inaccurate on many historical setting details and plot events, and yet surely deserves to be watched because it is a rare setting for a BL, indeed.However, not the uncut, but regular version where the storytelling is tighter, not dragged. I normally would suggest the opposite for series where its uncut version adds lots of fanservice with more play between the characters, but here it is not that at all.
The extensive details on what is inaccurate to the time of the story is blow in a spoilers tagged comment.

gorgeous setting
Overall: gorgeous visuals/costuming and a unique setting/plot. 8 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7095/journey-with-you-2026-e01 and episode 1 is available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl2tYmXaN6qtMaKOjmFzqWBPKIHuNaREVContent Warnings: a ton of murders, suicide, torture, blood, violence, manipulation, coercion, drugging, I might be forgetting some more
Watch Suggestions (to take most content warnings out)
- skip episode 1
- episode 2 start at 15:30
- watch episodes 3, 4 and 5
- episode 6 end at 44 min
- episode 7 watch 42:30-end
- episode 8 watch beginning to 7:45, 10:50-17:50 and 48:25-end
What I Liked
- costuming/setting
- unique plot
- chemistry
- intimacy
Room For Improvement
- there were a ton of characters/plot introduced and it was a bit confusing, but I figured out the main characters/plot fairly quickly
- that mom looked like a sibling
- some characters were kind of stupid to believe other things, knowing how dangerous their situation was, the emperor was stupid since he seemed to have 7 sons (at least 2 of which had died) and also didn't seem to realize how dangerous his situation was (the prince accurately called this out in episode 7)
- the writers could have been a bit more clear at the end of episode 8 (spoiler for the ending in my comment)

Wishing it made sense
Obviously they have season 2 planned for this. I already know I won't watch it. It is a short series but still felt like it dragged on. I usually like this genre but this did not work for me. It felt like it was put together haphazardly and there were moments I was bored because it was not making sense at all and I just couldn't care for any of the characters. At first, I had high hopes but the more i watched, the more it was evident it was not good.Was this review helpful to you?
