Check Out (2022)

please tell me this was a social experiment

you know those shows that you just never want to end? this was the complete opposite of that. I spent every single second watching this hoping, wishing, praying it would just end already. I put it on 2x speed and still felt myself growing older by the second, wasting away my precious minutes on this earth watching this trainwreck of a show.

now you may ask, why did you finish it if you hated it this much? I have no answer for you. I myself am astonished by my own perseverance. I told myself I would see this show through to the bitter end and I can proudly say I DID IT! I withstood it all. the bad acting, horrible writing, boring cinematography, outrageous advertisement, obnoxious background music and I came out alive. I stand victorious against this show! It hasn’t broken me, but oh boy it certainly tried.

sometimes when I close my eyes I can still see it… the logo “Lodestar Productions” looming in front of me, mocking me. I wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat after having found myself trapped in a nightmare where I, too, am sitting in that office. unable to escape the melodramatics of daonuea and nine. unable to even scream. someone hands me phone and asks me to book a flight using the AirAsia SuperApp™ I take it, my fingers numb, only able to wait for death to put an end to my suffering.

anyways this show was shit. and considering how many people it takes for the production of a drama I cannot believe that this was anything other than a social experiment. there is just no way that many people earnestly signed off on this idea thinking it was going to be a hit. I will not believe it. watch it if you’re looking for something to bore you death and haunt you in your nightmares.

"CHEAK OUT" ON RISK OF LOSING YOUR BRAINCELLS!!!

I Officially CROWN THIS BL AS 'the bane of my existence and the object of all my regrets *100000'

GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK!!!!!

THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!!! AND I WILL BE BLUNT HERE!!!!!
I HAVE SKIPPED THROUGH 80% OF IT, EVEN THE NC SCENES!!!!!

I LOST MY Remaining braincells Watching this AND had to put bleach [3 TRUCKS FULL OF BLEACH] in my eyes to forget this horror>>> rip braincells?. RIP EYES AS WELL☠️

Where do we register for our "I SURVIVED "CHECK OUT"!!" t-shirts???

WATCH IT ONLY IF YOU LIKE-
Cheating, like the actors, basic story, just want NC scenes, want something other than high school BL's, attractive guys, toxicity, bitchy female character, liars .

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ME-
bland music, Bad NC scenes, Cheating, Long and cringy dialogues, No character development, No chemistry, boring/slow paced[ I watched at 3x speed], jerk characters.

Seriously, I’m proud of those people who are wasting their time into this long and messy af series. The characters were too problematic in many ways.

A FRIENDLY ADVICE TRY TO IMPROVE THE PLOTHOLES OF THE SERIES NOT FOCUS ON SEELING US PORNO!!!

*Nine- Narcissist in a way. It wasn’t sexy at all to covet other people’s boyfriend. SUCH A CHARACTER ???
*Daonuea- Childish af! This character is probably one of the worst BL characters of all time. Naiveness to its highest. CHEATER!
*Tee- A BOY WHO LOVES A NAIVE BOY. Ughhhh also a character. I can't stop laughing at how Tee was all like trying to guilt trip Ice to give up his dream job, and Ice was ice-cold!! Literally, Ice was like I'm gonna have a hot makeout session with you, but that's about it. I'm totally leaving you tomorrow. And I couldn't stop laughing.
*Boat, Ice and Candy- MESSY AND IRRELEVANT CHARACTERS! Dust of the series. only good thing here>
*Preaw- A GIRL! SHE ALWAYS SPILLS HER TANTRUM ALL OVER THE PLACE. DESERVE TO BE CHEATED FOR HER ATTITUDE.

The series was too long and too messy. Not recommended for those people who had heart failure due to its boringness. Expectations was far from fair. ALSO IN EP8, THEY COULD’VE JUST MADE A FOR NINE AND PRAEW!

I really really DO NOT understand the need to complicate things. Put the damn uncut version on IQIYI and finish it!!!!!
FAN ONLY???? 25+??????? UNCUT??????? BRO are you giving us a BL or selling us PORN.

8 EPISODES IN AND I WILL SAY IT MAY GET BETTER BUT FOR NOW ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!! TRY TO WATCH IT AFTER ATLEAST 10 EP ARE AIRED!!!! FOR ME NOT WORTH WASTING TIME!!!
ONE LINE WARNING- "It is so bad I want to give you a zero, but that is not possible, so I give you a 1."

It ended. That's all folks! (eps 1-13)

Review ep 1-5:
So much anticipation. So much disappointment. I'm NOT dropping this since I keep hoping for redemption, BUT it better come.
As many, I got so hyped up by ep. 0. But the only thing left standing is the acting. Honestly, I commend the actors for portraying these people so well. They are making stupid decisions, act irrationally and the story is both boring and weird.
Some scenes make me vear up with excitement because I hope this is the moment it gets better, but alas.
The fact that the comic relief character has the best part, is shocking.
Wish me luck for the remainder!

Review ep 6-7:
We seem to be getting more story and real drama between our leads. Ep. 7 is the best one so far. The last scene is heart breaking, even though Praew is totally unlikable. Poor Nine is finally making some real choices and Daonuea is being his dramatic self. On the very edge of annoying and cute. For the first time i'm actually excited for the next ep.

Review ep. 8-9:
It keeps overpromising and underdelivering. The love scenes feel insincere at this point, they come from nowhere, there is no build-up. A few scenes later a new (or old) drama ensues and were back to the start. It could be so much better!

Review ep. 10:
Finally!! This was sooo so cute!! I loved the way they are getting shy now that they are officially together. The rings exchange made me swoon. The soft looks Nine gives Daonuea are everything. Lets keep this vibe up y'all!!

Review ep 11:
Well the dreaded 11th episode served us Drama!
Poor Daonuea. Always drawing conclusions and not checking. So much insecurity. I hope he'll be able to overcome this self doubt and trust he is worth all of nines love. Tee and Ice are having moments! There's something brewing there for sure. Candy and Boat are adorable. Although this is a BL, I want more of them. I adjusted my overall rating from 6,5 to 7,5.

Well I did it. I finished without dropping. And ended with a 7.5 rating. With the remark that 7.5 in my way of always generously rating is just about average. It could have been so much better, so much more than average!

What I liked:
- DaoNine chemistry. Especially coming from Nine. I get butterflies level 1000 when he only even glances at Daonuea.
- Scenery. Especially @The Air. I want to book my next vacation there...

What I disliked:
- Daonuea when he throws a fit over nothing. I would love to see him get help for his dramatically low self-esteem and paranoia.
- Rough story telling. Not really bad writing, it just feels like the writing was not really completed when filming started. Still needed much work.
- Too many unfinished character stories. Candy & Boat just bled out, IceTee is just getting started, who and where are all those other boys with Nine...
- unfunny comedy attempts
- horrible pacing

And... It seems like 1 or 2 scenes from the trailers did not make it into the final version. Why??

Review Ep. 13:
Surprise! We get more of IceTee (love this ship name :) ). How or why Ice comes in for an interview? Who knows. But he's here. and he's not going anywhere apparently because before we know it him and Tee are all over eachother. It says a lot that their office make out scene is much hotter than NineDao's was. But that is about the only difference. and this scene is most likely why the episode was made. Not that we are complaining, because whew! But not a lot else is worth mentioning here. But you should definitely watch it.

Please read this before watching (someone who actually finished this show)

You know how sometimes in competitions you have all the judges voting you off but they all have this one golden button opportunity to vote you in even when no one else believes in you?
This is me giving this show my golden button.
Not because it is amazing, but because I believe in the potential of this show and everyone involved.
I just know that even with all the negative reviews, there will be someone who will absolutely love this show so I hope that that person won't let themselves be scared away by the others.
''Fish upon the sky'' was that for me, with all the negative comments and reviews I saw, I watched it nonetheless and had honestly the best time I've had with a show.
So maybe this is your Fish upon the sky ;)

Now the short break down of my rating is simply that they had the right material, the right angle, the right blue print.
But I think when it went through editing, the pacing got a little messed up which got a lot of people annoyed.
All the way up to episode 7 there isn't a whole lot that seems to happen, which is bad for a weekly viewing, but I've thought about this and if you can watch this all in one go now that it's finished airing that pacing will feel completely different.
Instead of waiting 7 weeks for something to happen, it would make a lot more sense than some other shows that have everything happen within 4 episodes and you're left wondering what the remaining 8 could even be about.
Yes it still follows the cliche misunderstandings, the theatrical smut scenes and some good old fashioned annoying face palm moments especially in those first 7 episodes. BUT I actually started loving this show when I realized how deep and psychologically real this show was. The relationships all feel super real, not like the fluffy typical bl's where people are together for the sake of both being attractive.
I honestly regret reading the comments every week as I was trying to enjoy this show because it tainted my experience. Me liking it and with full anticipation reading the comments to see who I could chat with, kept being followed with an icy cold shower when people who had stopped watching WEEKS ago were still hate commenting.
I know some people tried to defend it when I mentioned the hate hype, but as someone who has seen a lot of real time comment sections on other shows, this show definitely suffered from a hate hype.
I would see the same scene unfold (and not better may I add) in a different show and people would eat that shit up like it was dinner time and we had all been starving. But whenever I came here that exact same scene would be drilled into the ground with people making this seem like a dumpster fire. One that they enjoyed watching as it burned to the ground.
So I might re-watch this when everything has calmed down.

And last but not least, the synopsis. The synopsis got recently changed and most people who watched this show saw a completely different summary on this page. The show is pretty much about what you can now read, but mind you that most people went into this thinking it was a completely different story because the summary said something else.
This probably heavily influenced a lot of peoples opinions as well as that most people went in with high expectations on what they thought this should have been based upon episode 0.
The one thing I learned as a writer is that you can't deflect what you had in mind and rate something based upon that, watch it for what it was intended by the people who made it and you'll enjoy yourself a lot more! :)


NOW LEAVE IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS: Nine's psychology break down.

Nine. Hate him or love him, he is genuinely the best developed character in this show. And when I realized that, I enjoyed this whole show so much more. Nine isn't a good guy, he isn't a bad guy either, he is supposed to be morally grey.
The quick story line we follow goes like this: Nine meets Dao at a resort in episode 0 when he is freshly broken up and they hit it off. They have a good time, sleep together and go back to their respective lives. Both of them acknowledge that they don't necessarily want it to end and they start texting. But as Nine gets back with his ex he essentially ends up ghosting Dao until he finds Dao 3 months later. He figures out where Dao works which so happens to be the company of an old friend and decides to invest into the company to get closer to Dao again. Sounds like shitty behavior right? I mean make up your mind. Nine still really interested in Dao decides to pursue Dao even though he still has a girlfriend and Dao is semi trying to date Nine's old friend Tee. Lots of tension between Nine and Dao unfold as the 2 go through this push and pull, Dao being scared of getting hurt in a genuine connection decides to go with Tee whom he wouldn't end up heart broken by even if it didn't work out and Nine unable to leave his girlfriend is now shown to not only have no loyalty to his girlfriend, but even shown to have cheated on her with other men prior (presumably). Once Nine and his girlfriend finally do break up and when he and Dao get closer together we are left with the idea that he isn't a good love interest. If he cheats with you, who says he won't cheat on you.
As Dao and Nine get together we get to hear exactly why Nine did what he did and everything falls into place.
Now if you have your judgement ready before this it would feel hard to back pedal, as someone did comment on my posts that they only did that to make Nine look good and manipulate the story. I don't agree. To me it all looked intentional and well thought out but the unfortunate thing is that it came too late which made people already drop this before we got our end conclusion on Nine.

First of I LOVE Nine, no I don't love his character, I love how well he was developed which you rarely get to see in bl's.
Nine truly is morally grey and extremely real in my opinion. Let's go back to the beginning and review why this all happened. When Nine meets Dao he is freshly out of a relationship, one that was extremely toxic and mentally abusive. Yes, Nine got mentally abused ladies and gentlemen. I know many that didn't finish the show wouldn't even realize that..
So he meets Dao, a guy that catches his eye. They grow closer pretty quickly which does tend to happen when both people come from toxic situations. (Dao having had his own heart break with Tee as they have dated in the past and Tee ended up hurting him. ) as they hit it off the two end up spending the night together right before they are about to leave to go back to their own lives. Both Nine and Dao liked each other enough to want to continue whatever was budding between them and they end up communicating over text until one day Nine stops texting back. When Nine got back from his trip his ex girlfriend reached out to him saying she wanted to get back together. I've seen surprisingly a lot of people that still didn't understand why he got back together with her even after it was explained, so I will give my explanation on this. When the couple were together the first time around everything was good when it was good, but oh boy was it bad when things were bad. Nine's gf Praew would throw things around and scream in his face simply for being spotted together by paparazzi. Which was supposed to indicate how bad her temper was. We see this happen a couple of times. We witness as Praew dramatically tries to open a bottle of pills that end up spilling everywhere as an attempt to manipulate Nine. Everything was his fault, he didn't want to see her succeed and he can't even support her. This is all being said by Praew because of the paparazzi photo, that in her words, could ruin her career opportunities. We see Praew's behavior a couple of times when she visits the company Nine and Dao work at when they aren't around and she ends up wrecking Dao's desk out of rage. There is even a scene where a highly intoxicated Nine is laying on his bed half asleep and Praew tries to sleep with him. Half passed out Nine obviously isn't moving until he managed to push her off and she get's really upset at his rejection, when what she was doing would constitute as sexual assault. This is the kind of relationship Nine is in and has been in for a long time. Straight up abusive. Now for those who were lucky enough to not have dealt with any form of abuse, this makes it ridiculously hard on the victim to walk away no matter how bad things get. When they were broken up, Nine genuinely thought it was finally the end for them, until Praew showed up and wanted him back. Knowing this information about Praew it doesn't come as a surprise that Candy, a friend of Nine, later in the show reveals to Dao and us that Praew threatened to hurt herself if Nine didn't get back with her. Thus bringing us to where Nine gets back together with Praew. He ends up ghosting Dao due to this, most likely because he never meant or wanted to say goodbye to Dao and couldn't face that confrontation. To have to reject the person he liked, for the person who abused him, he simply couldn't do it so instead he said nothing. Someone mentioned that he could have told Dao about the situation with Praew, but that's not very typical for a victim to do. Especially when he didn't know if this was temporary or not. Nine probably assumed being with Praew was going to be it, there was no way out unless she let him go and he knew she wasn't going to. Onto Nine's friends with benefits play buddies. The show alludes to the idea that Nine has been having male play buddies over, in the 3 months that he doesn't speak to Dao. Since Nine has been in a long term relationship with Praew, his female partner, i think this part is super interesting. To me this was purposefully done to show his desire for Dao, a man. We don't know how often Nine has dated men or has been attracted to men, but there is a likelihood that the reason he cheated on Praew with specifically men, is because they served as a substitute for Dao. The one man he couldn't get off his mind. Cheating is never okay, but we understand by now that Nine isn't in a voluntary relationship. If he leaves, Praew may or may not die or at least get seriously hurt. This is all that is on his mind as someone who still cares about her well being. This little fact brings a lot of complexity to the situation and makes you wonder if Nine is bad for cheating or if we can somehow find ourselves sympathizing with his actions. When it doesn't feel safe to leave an abusive partner, can we find ourselves rationalizing infidelity?
When Nine finds Dao after 3 months, it is obvious that he has never forgotten about Dao and that the feelings that grew once upon a trip were still there. And maybe even stronger than before. Nine can't possibly let go of Dao again, so he does everything he can to get closer to Dao again. Nine and Dao do end up sleeping together not long after their reunion, but it is quickly followed by Dao rejecting Nine and telling him he doesn't want anything to do with him again. Dao enters a situationship with Tee that same night. Still struggling between his current situation with Praew, his feelings and desires for Dao and the now newly established situation between Dao and Tee, Nine is in over his head. He tries to keep Praew happy but can't fake interest any longer, he wants to be with Dao but Dao has shut him out and now he is working at a company amid the uncomfortable love triangle between him, Dao and Tee when no one can know that Nine and Dao have a history together.
This alone would make most of us act in irrational and dumb ways, although there is never an excuse for forcing kisses onto someone else. Nine makes himself increasingly look worse because he is ill equipped to deal with such complex emotions (which is completely understandable, I would be too) and only has the support of Candy who, even though she is adorable, isn't the right person for advice on this at all. She is a pretty passive person, who hates conflict and tries to please everyone, resulting in both her and Nine never making a clear decisions and stringing others along. Candy does this in her friendships and Nine in his relationships. As Nine grows more serious about Dao everyday and less interested in Praew we finally have our climax in episode 7 when he simply can't do it any longer. Nine snaps, it is simply too much, he has to overcome his fear and break up with Praew. This scene was incredibly painful to watch for me since it hit kinda close to home. Adult relationships can be really fucking messy and so can the break ups be. As Nine breaks up with Praew he still lingers for a moment, allowing her to throw herself at him as a last attempt to convince him to stay. To prove that the love is still there. He doesn't waver since is mind is made up, but he is hurting for her which makes rejecting her still too hard. Until he finally slowly pushes her back, makes sure she is dressed and tells her he will always be there for her when she needs him. He still has nothing but love for her and truly wants the best for her. It was one of the hardest things both of them had to go through, but they went through it together and it was the healthiest option for both. Praew being shown a much healthier person post break up as well.
Now being fully single again Nine also seems different, more sure and genuine as he has nothing left to cloud his mind and distort his actions. Which brings me to my final point. Nine is a good boyfriend. Okay okay okay this one is controversial. Yes he cheated on Praew and we already discussed whether or not we can sympathize with his actions. But, we notice how, when Nine isn't being abused, he is genuine and he would do anything to be with the person he loves. Nine is happier, more calm, more understanding and less pushy. When he break up with Praew we even see him giving Dao more space and being more sincere with Dao as well. Even stepping back when he realizes Dao and Tee might seriously get together at the company get away. It isn't until Dao opens up about his feelings that Nine completely gives in and becomes Dao's and Dao's alone. Which is probably the reason why when Dao accepts him back their relationship goes from 0 to 100. With all the angst and fear of losing Dao and having to let go of Dao so many times for other peoples sake, Nine just wants to spend his time with Dao to the fullest. And that feeling alone is enough for him to promise Dao to be his forever with a ring, to bind the two together in a connection that belongs to no one else but them.

Ugh. I don't know what happened here.

My theory is that whoever directed Ep 0 died. Then they didn't want to spend the extra money to change the credits, so they just didn't get a director or pulled some homeless guy off the street to do it. Actually, that's unfair to homeless people, because I'm fairly sure all homeless people, everywhere, could have done a better job with this series.

Ep 0 was quite good - I had no expectations of it given this production company's previous work, which was mediocre at best and seemed like it was all commercials for products, but then Ep 0 came out and it was a fast-paced but not rushed romance between people with great chemistry and charm, so I got excited for the series. It's bad.

Here's what I think the problem is: There is only about 4 episodes worth of "plot", but they stretched it to 12 eps. Because they had Daonuea in a relationship with his first love, Tee (that seemed more based on habit than anything else), all the key characters were stuck in a holding pattern. Danuea was with Tee, so he was not free to be with Nine. Tee was with Daonuea, so he was not free to be with Ice, and Nine had a girlfriend so he felt free to f@#$ anything that could breathe.

Daonuea is a bit whiny, which would probably have been OK because he's cute and has a hot body, but because he had to whine about the same things over, and over, and over, he was just irritating and unpleasant. Nine was a walking red flag - apparenly serially cheating on his girlfriend, and he went hard for Daonuea, who wanted to be faithful to Tee but is a weak person so he made out with Nine pretty much constantly then pushed him away in a oft-repeated pattern that just made him even more annoying. If you're going to cheat on your boyfriend on a daily basis, then just do it, or break up with him. But don't make out with some guy and then act like it's all his fault.

Tee did begin his relationship with Daonuea on false pretenses, and apparently cheated on him in the past, so he's not Mr. Perfect (but is a lot closer to it than Nine or Daonuea, and he's sexy and I want him for myself, but that's not important right now), and he does understand when to give up, so there's that.

Nine's girlfriend is crazy, but somehow relatable. The actress played her very well and made her a fully-realized character instead of an evil shrew. She's clearly unstable and insecure, but aware she's unstable and insecure, which is kind of refreshing because she would generally apologize when she crossed (way, way, way over) the line. And it's hard to fault her for being insecure, crazy and suspicious if her bf really will bang anything halfway attractive.

If this had been four episodes, it would have been a bonkers rollercoaster that was fun to watch, but because it's 12, it doesn't work. Crazy behavior, loss of self-control, forbidden love, etc. can be exciting, funny, or entertaining - ONCE. When the same crazy, selfish, and forbidden things are done several hundred times, it's boring, irritating, and you end up hoping everyone dies alone like they deserve.

The acting is probably decent. I say that because I'm not sure anyone else could have done better with this material, and nobody can say they didn't play their characters with consistency.

I might have rated this a bit too high, but the actors really did try, there was a story, even if it was thin, and it did conclude, albeit in a bit of a contrived happy group ending (with one of the most hilarious pregnancies you'll see. TBH, she should really go get an x-ray, because it looked more like she had a huge breast tumor than a baby).

Anyway, I'd watch Ep 0 and then pretend they met up when they got home and lived happily after. If you'd prefer a story where Nine ghosts Daonuea then shows up as a homewrecker with an insane girlfriend, makes everyone miserable, then Daonuea forgives him because he was randomly at an amusement park dressed as an assassin 10 years ago, and then they live happily for... I'd give them two months at best... then this is for you.

Suprise of the series: Ice and Tee, who had the only hot moment in the 12 eps.

EDIT: There is a special episode after the series featuring Ice & Tee, and it's also pretty good. It's a bit confusing about when it takes place, but it's apparently after Ice returns from Singapore. Anyway, those two have some serious chemistry and they're not afraid of getting physical - they were really making out, not just rubber-lipping it, and their NC-17 scene was possibly the best I've seen in a Thai BL, so I bumped up my score a bit.

Our reviews are more interesting than the series

Let me get this first, EP1 was not that bad but when it comes to EP2 - I was like o.O wtf is this storyline, I was so damn confused? And i was like "okay, its just EP2 perhaps they can't squeeze the starting into EP1 and a chance is given.

Moving on to EP3 onwards - I just can't. IT IS JUST TAKING TOO DAMN LONG TO FINISH ONE EPISODE!!! +%!%*$£₩,1)&

Watchers, you have 2 ways to watch this series;
1. Watch at 2x or 3x the speed.
2. Skip those parts that you felt is boring.

I mean come on man - do you know how long is an episode and you don't have to stretch the series to ep12/13 when it is actually a 5/6 episodes worth it and potential worthy but NOOOOO - I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING.

Don't blame the actors as they are just doing what they told, blame the DIRECTORS & PRODUCERS.

You just wanted my time because EP1 was a trap and they saying "it get better I believe" -_____-

CHECK OUT SOMETHING ELSE BEFORE WASTING YOUR TIME HERE

Honestly Episode 0 was the only decent thing about this romp trying to pass for a series... If cheating and whiney people is what your into, look no further. Firstly, the protagonists are awful; One is an airhead that can't get over being ghosted after a 1NS, while the other is dude who thinks its okay to sleep with whatever breathes and says he "might be in love" with the some guy he ignored for 3 months.. Secondly; the supporting characters add as much to the story as crumbs to bread... in the end they just fall away and don't matter.
Honestly I think the people who made this must have been smoking the same crack as the guys who made Physical Therapy / Dark Blue And Moonlight. Give this a pass and save a couple precious hours of your life. You can thank me later.

Check out and go elsewhere

The prequel, also known as Episode zero, offered us the promise of a good story to come. We were interested to know what would happen in the future for Daonuea and Nine after their chance meeting at a resort. What is the rest of their background story? Will they resume their friendship in the days ahead?
What follows is a muddled mess of a storyline. After a few episodes, you will not care what happens to these characters. It is not just that they all have flaws, but there seems to be a great level of dishonesty among them. It won't take long before you realize this series is a huge disappointment and a lost opportunity for the leads.
The girls are miscast. Praew gets to cry a lot and the young woman playing Candy gets to chew the scenery, as the saying goes.
Chahub and Best definitely have chemistry, but the back-and-forth relationship of Daonuea and Tee and Danouea and Nine, plus the constant indecision of Daonuea (Best) make you just want to give up on them all. They should have had a scriptwriter who could develop characters consistently.
Hopefully, Chahub and Best will find better projects soon. They certainly deserve something better than this.

So far the worst I've seen

This MIGHT contain spoilers which is why I labelled it as a spoiler (all opinion based)

OKAY, for starters, I wasn't always a hater, I gave this show a chance, the cast was gorgeous and I really thought episode 0 gave a great image to the entire series

There was no OST which killed most of my momentum of watching this and the music that was actually chosen really gave me a headache, the first few episodes were really enjoyable but the last few became really hard to watch. There seemed to have been more chemistry between the "side couples" (Boat and Candy, [P'Tee and Ice?]) than the main couple, Nine and Daonuea, I feel like they only got together because they met previously at that holiday resort or to make P'Tee "see what he's been missing" (some bullshit like that).

This whole series just felt like an advertisement and not even a good one, (like GMM TV does with their dramas) there was no meaning to it and each episode was going everywhere BUT the plot. I don't usually drop series so I just had to keep torturing myself each saturday watching this, like it's so bad they couldn't even get a proper pregnant belly and had to use a table cloth or sum.

I really thought this show had potential, but I was wrong, I found myself skipping that awkward making out part on episode 11, (I promise I'm not homophobic!! I found it too painful to continue watching) WHICH IS SOMETHING I NEVER DO WITH A BL!! Please don't waste your time on this series, if you want to keep your sanity, don't watch it ??

i have no idea why i did this to myself

Pure torture. Episode 0 was very promising and the potential for the follow up series WAS THERE. However, the series did not start on a good note and it was progressively getting worse. The characters had no debt and even though they were flawed (which could have been a good plot point) they had no intention to change which led to zero character development. Especially after episode 5 (i think) it got insufferably boring. From some point onwards i watched out of pure curiosity (on x2 speed too bcs the episodes were unreasonably lengthy too and they could also get very repetitive at times) just to see how much worse this could get. All in all, a waste of my time.

P.S. i think the actors did as much as they could with what they were given and i do have to acknowledge that there was progress to their acting since skinship (which i watched the first episode of and it was enough for a lifetime).
