Check Out (2022)

I actually enjoyed this.

I'm confused by the negative review bombs this show got, I mean not everything is for everyone so that's fair. I understand some people are really triggered by cheating, but I personally love messy and drama filled shows.

To enjoy a show doesn't mean you support the actions within. Do we not enjoy horror movies, action/thriller movies with violence? It doesn't mean we encourage the behavior, we are simply just entertained by dramatic and engaging plots.

Truthfully no one in this show is innocent of wrongdoing. Whether it be lying, cheating, or just morally grey. I think people forget D was not committed to Tee or Nine (until the very end). Sure what he did was hurtful to Tee, but he was honest about his feelings where he struggled to get over Tee hurting him & starting over. He did shut Nine down constantly and expressed trying things again with Tee. It was messy, but the D hate I don't get! He was completely oblivious half the time to what drama was taking place around him.

Also hot take on Nine's ex P. Mental health issues are not a pass to treat people however you want. I hated her character. I was glad to see her healing in the end, but gosh it was a journey to even like her for 5 seconds. As someone with a mental illness, I could not excuse her behavior. She especially was abusive towards her best friend. Candy was shady, but with good intentions. Being in the middle of your 2 best friends is difficult and she struggled!

My only real complaint is the music sometimes was pretty weird for the scenes (especially the spicy scenes).

Anyway, I think if you like a lot of drama this show is worth a shot. I didn't find it boring, slow, or awful so maybe you won't either. Maybe you will. Who knows until you roll the dice!

EP.1-5 Review [Verdict: Not bad. You'll probably hang on until the end]

Here's how it's been so far following the prequel:
[Three months have passed.]
Nine, an immature selfish individual who has no idea what he wants; so he wants everything VS. Daonue, who is trying to overcome his unrealistic attachment to a happy memory by attaching himself to his ex! In their interactions, both leads exaggerate their self-esteem to the point that it serves no purpose... in other words, both lead characters have partners but harbor strong feelings for each other which they act upon, leading to avoidable disasters.

+ Hot scenes are plentiful if that's what you're after.

Episodes 1/2

Episode 1

What I liked:
-
(Clothes? I don't know)

What I didn't like:
- Their acting (they seem kind of expressionless)
- long dialogs (I got lost in their dialogs and didn't understand like anything)
- showing for like 55 minutes only Dao, Tee and Boat, and for 10 second Nine.
- unnecessary music

Episode 2

What I liked:
- sex scene(?) But would've been better without that music

What I didn't like:
- long dialogs
- loud and unnecessary music (Are we in a musical? I don't know what to think anymore)
- talking about the company with employees, when they are only 3...
- acting

Absolutely pathetic series.

When this series was premiered last year with a special episode it was advertised as a hot an steamy series with also some above average background is a storyline and it also seems that acting was abi e average of the lead pair., But the real series is absolutely ridiculous with no storyline and pathetic acting. Can't understand after two episodes what the series is trying to portray. Their is no story no acting and above all supposedly the hit and steamy portions are also absolutely cold and poorly directed scenes. Dropped the series from.tge third episode. There is nothing in this series to watch.

Honestly my opinion...Not dropping the series...

Okay, so my thoughts on this series so far... the first episode was very boring, I only watched the whole thing to understand some of the characters, but really it was pointless. Could've had less dialogue, or more switching between characters instead of one character talking for like 5 minutes straight. Also just more emotions, it seems really forced and like no one actually wants to do it.

The second episode, one steamy scene, and yeah Nine cheating on his girlfriend. Honestly I don't care about cheating, because first of all it is fiction, not real, so not a big deal, and it brings in some drama this show really needs. It lacks some emotions, drama, and just a lot in general.

Other episodes, also kind of pointless, really nothing there to grip, or even get you interested. Even when they give that chance but then blow it off. But I really think this isn't all half bad. It just needs more work, and a higher budget, and it would probably be so much better. I mean some scenes are actually enjoyable, give a little laugh here and there, and some are like okay now I can see why this is happening. So it's not all horrible. Also, why I am not dropping this series is because I'm already half way into it, and because I believe it may be more enjoyable soon.

And finally, I know some people don't like the cheating, or the way Nine is acting, and can't make up his mind. Toys around with Doanuea, but I think it adds drama, and some of the stuff we're missing in this series. I believe this series really deserves a chance and does it mean I need to watch it again, no way! But I'll give it a chance...

So far so good...

So guys we only have 3 episodes of this drama at the moment. So far it's been better than some of the storylines I've finished watching.
Why I wanted to write a review for this before this even has reached five eps is because, most of the people do not know about this drama. This drama NEEDS to get the love it deserves.
For some, who started to watch this from episode one felt lost, and I'm writing this for you guys. Guys this drama has special ep which aired last year. Do watch that before you start the series or else you'll really feel lost. That ep has the moment when Nine and Daonuea first meet.

Their chemistry is brilliant and their acting is on top notch. so don't worry guys I don't think that this drama will be a disappointment.
And most of all it's kind of like a new plot line which you won't see...
Let's see how it goes...

My personal perspective

I watched the series because I saw it on my fb acc and having the thought that I would like it, I started watching it, and I am still currently watching I want to finish it somehow but I am not sure. I wouldn't say that I don't like the whole story, there are just some that I don't like maybe really it depends on the perspective of a person. Honestly, I personally don't like stories that involves cheating and such depending on both sides, I might agree with it and I may not. I appreciate the casting and acting I really love Nine?? as well as the rival Tee and Candy, oh I also like the acting skill of Preaw and natural acting of Boat, I also like Dounea(forgot how it spells sorry), how he portrays the childish side of his character tho I don't like him in the series hahhaha what I meant is the actor's acting skill, that's what I like. However, I find the series a little bit boring tho it's funny sometimes because there's one character out there that just makes me laugh, anyways idunno why, I just don't like how the other character shows his love toward the other person and how the other one deny his feelings for the other one(i don't want to spoil so other other hahaha). Continuing, I mean maybe it would be fine if the issue is mild but no it's not and I can't take it and I need to put a review. Here's a bit of spoil DON'T CONTINUE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED HEHE. I don't like how Dounea react towards Nine and their issue is not solved I feel like the story is focusing on something I don't like personally but I also think that some part of the series portrays something not good in a relationship, generally. That's it, I still feel like what I said is not enough but that's it. Anyways I appreciate the casting and maybe I would like how it will end. Gonna go back here if I liked the ending, I'm not yet done. Mwaa?

Check out, check out!!!

This series is not the normal schoolboy BL. This storyline is about two adults who meet while on vacation and fall in love. Nine is getting away from a girlfriend who cheated on him while Doaenuea is getting away from a breakup with his boyfriend. They meet and slowly become friends then one night while drinking they have consensual sex. The next day waking up, Doaenuea looks for Nine he finds he has left. He had given him his social media so he contacts him over and over but no response. Doaenuea is heartbroken but continues working for his ex at an advertising company.

One day while at the advertising company Nine walks in. Doaenuea is flabbergasted how could this be? Tee, his boss and exBF introduces Nine as his old college buddy who wants to invest in the company. Looks travel between them and Tee asks Nine if he had ever met Doaenuea and he flatly denies it. Doaenuea is totally confused. Why is he here? Why did he show up is he following me? Then Tee starts telling Nine about the company and Nine decides to become a shareholder to help Tee build the company back up after the COVID hit it took. Tee explains to Doaenuea that Nine is rich and his best friend and there is no way he would cause him problems as Doaenuea warns him of Nine’s likely intentions.

The company approves Nine and so it starts with Doaenuea and Nine working together with Nine trying to reconcile with Doaenuea but Doaenuea giving him the cold shoulder. Why didn’t you respond to my emails he tells him! Nine tells him I never forgot our night or you. You were drunk you don’t even remember! Nine shoots back with, “ I was not drunk and I remember it all!” Doaenuea was trying to resist Nine’s attempts s since he arrived and when Nine saw Doaenuea and Tee together it would make him furious!

Nine did not tell Doaenuea the truth that he had reconciled with his GF. She begged him to take her back and he slowly gave in. She even moved back in with him at his place. This part was shown at the beginning of the second part where Nine shows up at Doaenuea’s work. . This will surely cause problems in the future as well as with Tee the ex-Bf.

As Doaenuea was leaving work Nine waited til everyone was gone and cornered him not allowing him to leave. Nine knew Doaenuea would be joining his Ex that evening. Tee, was in fact, waiting for him at his apartment hoping for a reconciliation by cooking a meal and buying him a necklace. Nine knew he had to stop Doaenuea from leaving the office so he blocked his way and forcefully kissed him Doaenuea tried to resist but his feelings were too powerful and he gave in. There are some explicit and steamy sex scenes in the adult uncut version. So far, so good!!! Can’t wait for the next episode! This is treacherous territory for Doaenuea and Nine. Plus Nine is not being honest with Doaenueain being selfish but obsessed with Doaenuea. Get prepared for a wild ride with this series!!

There's nothing important to see about it

I was so excited by ep. 0 that when the series actually began I was really looking forward to it... And then! Crush point!
I mean, the plot doesn't even exist, the thing between Dao & Nine are so confusing that I'm speechless every time I watched them together on the screen. The cheating.. I know can disturb someone, but if the thing is risolve in one ep and so on.. Be it! But no, there's some sort of manipulative relationship between Nine and his girlfriend that I'd mirrored in Dao and Tee relationship too. Between the two ml, I find Dao more embarrassing.. He is there toying with both Tee (in a kind of relationship re-established After Nine come-back) and Nine (no signal in there despite I think one or maybe two NC.. I can't even tell how many due to the really high interest) . Dao acts like a sulking puppy, clinging to Tee when needed and then acting all weird around Nine, seems to dislike him but he gives in from time to time. Nope, nothing good. It doesn't matter the budget, ep. 0 was really endearing, even though I don't like particurly the actors. I save Tee only because is really hot and seems to be realistici the few moments he has to stand up!
Acting: nope
Plot: nope
Music: I love the song at the end of the eps.. This has a point!
I'm at ep. 6, I'm missing kinnporsche so I think that in some ways I'll end up watching it.. But it'll be done one over!
