I’m Only On Episode 10
I felt the need to write down my thoughts on Kiseki: Dear to Me, before Ep. 11 Drops.I really look forward to the new episodes, each, and every week. The story is so good, the actors are superb, the characters and story are rich, full, and well-written.
This is one of those series that I wish would never end.
Kudos to all, who were involved with the making of this series, from the author to the director, and from the production company to the cast & crew.
I don’t think I’ll change my mind in the final episodes, I think my feelings and opinions will only be confirmed even more.

Weird tone, poor storytelling, totally unrealistic behavior
It's trying to be a lot of things at once--comedy, romcom, gangster flick--and fails to be any of them.I don't need everything I watch to be 100% authentic/realistic, but I need SOMETHING that feels genuine or is even remotely convincing and Kiseki just doesn't give me anything. On top of that, everything is extremely rushed to the point of absurdity. If a guy randomly blackmails you to take care of him otherwise he will *frame you for murder,* you're not breathless with attraction in two days. (The framing threat, btw, is unbelievably stupid. Fingerprints on a knife will not single-handedly convict someone with no record, motive, connection to the victim, or presence at the crime scene. Like, be serious.) I can turn my brain off and have fun, but only to a certain extent apparently.
No coherent plot, no chemistry, no clear identity, it's a mess. Ever seen a movie on the Hallmark channel? This is that bad. Though I guess if you think Hallmark is great then you'll love this.

* SPOILER ALERT * I'm really annoyed that we didn't get 2 episodes this week ( i was really expecting it ), but other than that, i loved it . Was surprised to see the couple from " Be Loved in House " in here but not as surprised as a was to see the main couple from "HIStory 3 : make our days count." I look forward to seeing next weeks episode . I would definitely recommend this series, and i am looking forward to seeing where the main couples' story is going. It seems like it's getting interesting . *EDIT* i clearly only read the synopsis. Otherwise, i would have seen that the HIStory 3 and BLIH couples are credited in the cast, and of course that the series ends in Nov. I'm still annoyed about the 1 episode per week, though

The focused on the wrong couple.
I dropped this show and then came back after awhile out of boredom. The main story is so stupid and slow. I would of like to see more about Chen Yi & Ai Di. They are the only reason I kept watching but I'm starting to notice in a lot of the shows I watch the side character are way more interesting then the main couple. If your on the fence about watching this I would just watch the recap for the first 5-6 episodes because they are so slow they almost started going backwards. Skipping the first couple of episodes might actually make the show betterWas this review helpful to you?

Average story but great acting
Plot is not something new, but both leads have great chemistry which makes it fun to watch, but the age gap (17 year old/MINOR with 23 year old) does make me uncomfortably to an extent - and its what I find A LOT of people are brushing off lolAge aside and story aside, the cast does a wondful job is saving this drama to the point I’m kicking my feet and giggling during romance scenes.
I have only watched 9/13 as of writing this and episode 9 made me very frustrated with how they decided to add in memory lost on top of having Bai Zong Yi get a brain injury - could have went a different route.

YOU NEED TO WATCH IT!
On the first episodes, I barely have interest in it. But as I progressed watching, I started to like it. Though what's bothering me is the age of Bai Zong Yi since he's portraying a minor. Normally, I don't have interest in BL with minor characters but this is a table turner for me. And for the story line, I am loving how it progresses plus the overview keeps me hooked to watching what will happen next and I can't wait for the next episode to air already!Overall, it's a good series with a pinch of comedy. You should watch it too!

Cringe ? awkward oops ?
Maybe this is not for me.I have failed to like this.
But I’ll watching it because I get to laugh at how bad it is. Maybe I have slightly high expectations for Taiwanese bl.
First of all, I was not sold on the main couple’s romance. I don’t usually expect things to make sense but aaah this was too much. I had a problem with the way their relationship started, how do I describe, for lack of a better term-so plot deviceish ?. They caught feelings for each other way too fast. The other guy is 17 but he was the ka one doing the most omg. They were kissing religiously. Also aaah the kisses were not giving ?. Maybe I prefer slow burn romance. I don’t know ??♀️. I think I like Chinese bl better. Chinese bl usually makes me feel like the people are actually in love and when they finally hold hands or sth it really feels like they’ve earned those moments. But in this one whereby Ep 1 they are already kissing….
And the dialogue omg ? it’s too cringey for me.

Esperava mais drama
O começo foi MARAVILHOSO, depois do timeskip achei bom, mas deu uma caída.O casal secundário eu amo demais e ainda bem que eles foram desenvolvidos bem feitos, ainda bem que nenhum deles morreu, menos mal (trauma de HIStory 3).
O plot de amnesia foi esquecido (ainda bem), a reviravolta da irmã esperava mais, mas pra um drama de 13 episódios foi satisfatório.
Casal principal perfeito, química ótima entre personagens e dos atores, amo demais, romance foi sendo construído ao longo do tempo, não foi um romance que brotou do nada, foi regado e cultivado.

Taiwan nunca deixa a desejar
Bem, como a série é taiwanesa, eu já esperava um espetáculo, e não me decepcionei.Confesso que quando assisti a primeira vez algumas coisas me deixaram confusa, mas quando revi ficou tudo muito claro, e a série entrou para o hall das minhas favoritas.
HISTÓRIA: Sobre o roteiro, minha única crítica é a respeito de flash backs que surgiam do A ost dessa série nada para explicar uma situação do presente e acabavam deixando mais confusa, pois nem sempre ficava claro que era uma lembrança. Fora isso, a questão da máfia foi bem colocada, teve drama na medida certa, sem exageros. Todas as situações envolvendo o casal principal e as histórias paralelas são devidamente explicadas. Falando em histórias paralelas, existem várias acontecendo, mas todas são ligadas ao casal principal, e todas se desenvolvem muito bem sem ofuscar os protagonistas. O elemento surpresa esteve presente; tenho certeza que quase ninguém desconfiou que a irmã era uma bandida. Os casais tinham uma química de arrepiar, não existem contradições no enredo, tudo está colocado no lugar certo, e o amor dos casais foi construído passo a passo, não é uma história boba de amor à primeira vista. O elenco de uma forma geral tem muita química e combinam com seus personagens.
Achei uma jogada de mestre pegar vários casais de séries de muito sucesso e inserirem na trama, isso deu um up grade, já que eles tem um fandon fiel. As questões familiares também ocorreram dentro da normalidade, roteiro e direção excelentes, e o fingimento da amnésia foi uma ótima solução para satisfazer todos os lados e garantir o final feliz.
A ost é super coerente com a trama, realmente eu amei. Os detalhes técnicos estão todos dentro do padrão de qualidade de Taiwan. Com certeza pretendo rever e indicar essa obra tão linda, que já tem seu lugar no meu coração.

SI APRECIAS TU TIEMPO NO LA VEAS. UNA RED FLAG CON PATAS
Que cosa mas mala. Mira que tiene una idea muy buena porque eso de un bl de un gangster que se enamora de una persona fuera de la banda, pero ya esta todo lo demas fatal.Los actores son pesimos, todos sin excepción actuaciones pesimas que te digo que parecen de una parodia, tanto las peleas como todo en si, los momentos tristes como todo , es que no he empatizado nada con la historia.
Hay tantas red flag; que si se enamora de un menor y tienes relaciones con un menor (por mucho consentimiento que haya . Tio las putas relaciones de poder que hay en ese pedazo de gap age), que el otro toma la culpa y se va a la carcel (en parte por el otro y en parte para poder conseguir el transplante del padre, que mas chantaje no puede ser ), que luego el otro deja que este se vaya a la carcel y luego esa 'venganza' que iba a hacer que me parece una mierda sinceramente , que su amado se ha comido la carcel y encima le han dado un golpe que le ha dejado tonto para siempre y ya no puede cumplir su sueño de ser doctor es que alucino, como todos al final le perdonan, es que yo ni de coña , a mi no me rompes mis sueños y encima pago tus pecados y luego juegas conmigo pretendiendo que no me conoces. Es que de verdad la historia en si es una red flag muy grande.
Luego la segunda pareja es que mas malcriados e inutiles son pueden ser.
Todos se pasan mas tiempo follando que nada , lo que he aprendido es que si estas en una banda de estas, primero de todo huye y luego que todos son gays . Mira que sorpresa eh.
Por cierto Taiwan no deja de sorprederme con la misoginia en sus BLs, siempre la madre es la mala que les pega y tienen miedo de las mujeres y por eso su pareja tiene que ser un hombre. Pues sorpresa se puede tener una relacion sanisima con tu madre no tener ningun trauma con las mujeres y ser gay o bisexual pero que tu pareja sea un hombre. No soy homofoba, soy abiertamente aliada pero es que paso con la misoginia que estoy viendo en los BLs taiwaneses, quiero dos pavos que se quieran sin que odien a una mujer.

Kisah yg menarik dengan dibumbui mafia
Menurutku, ini adalah bl yg bagus untuk segi cerita. Ini juga bl pertama dengan tema mafia yg kutonton. Ada hal paling mengganjal yaitu aktor utamanya dimana mereka kurang cocok untuk memerankan peran itu . Untuk pemeran pembantu/ Second lead( ai di & chen yi ) itu lebih dapat feelnya daripada pemeran utamanya. Bukan hanya itu, rolenya pemeran utama ( zerui & ba zongyi ) juga terbalik imo jadi kalo nonton main actor agak gimana gitu but secara akting bagus walau agak kaku dikit. Overall, bagus, cukup menarik untuk ditonton karena juga intimacy nya sangat intim seperti seseorang yg saling mencintai, bener bener bikin hati deg degan dan mlenyot melihat ketampanan mereka, lol. sangat direkomendasikan but not to expecting too much, takut nanti kalian agak kecewa dikit, tapi jangan risau, mungkin kalian juga bakal puas deh karena ceritanya enggak boring. Begitulah ulasan aku, terimakasih telah membaca bye bye....Was this review helpful to you?

Reseña sencilla
Pinche serie toda perfecta, la ame con la pasión de mil soles, enserio que me dio todo cuando no sabia que esperar, ame la trama, los personajes, las escenas nonono TODO, sin duda esta serie va directo a mi top, apenas la acabe y ya la quiero volver a ver:) Edit Incluso teniendo un cliché que odio me encanto (mas que nada pq el cliché era falso). Tmb me encanto el cameo de Hank Wang y Aaron Lai en el capitulo 3 (ellos trabajaron juntos en "be loved in house) que si bien no son sus personajes de esa serie, si fue emotivo verlos de nuevo. Edit 2 Tmb hay cameo de los protas de plus and minus en el cap 12 que bonito que fue verlosWas this review helpful to you?
