I'm glad they didn't take down the road we all thought they would
I don’t even know what I watched. But let’s start with the obvious, I don’t think that the twins, Korn and Kun, were in love with each other. It wasn’t a one-sided love either. Even if they had some rather questionable habits. Here’s the thing, the two are used to having each other only. They have probably never been apart for longer than a few hours, so the possibility of losing that is scary. Could you say that there is jealousy and possessiveness involved? Yes, and it might be stronger than what one would expect. But the two seem to have a stronger bond than siblings usually do.I am not really sure why they decided to set this as part of BL anthology, but I am incredibly glad they didn’t take it down the road we all thought they would. The plot was very simple, but it involved a lot of growing up from everyone involved. It did feel patchy and kind of abrupt, especially how they decided to end most things. I just think there are a lot of conclusions that we just didn’t get or were skimmed over without being properly addressed.
It was an okay watch, but it wasn’t anything special. I did find the acting a bit lacking, especially in the more emotional scenes. However, I do think Mild did amazingly!

‘Do you believe that fish could cry, if they do, who will be the one who seen?’
As the fan of this series, my favorite stories since Casanova Begins, Lucky love, this is another one that i think they are really well- written with the very complex story and the landing of the end.. give me a lot of potential to make it a longer story. I’m really into their relationship and it turns me to expect the next one with the story of Tod.I love the character of Mr. Tod a lot! Not just the actor, but every time he speaks, he seems to be adult and was the only one who understands every kinds of situation. (Including their mother)
Pisces of me gave a lot of symbolic by start using Pisces instead of Pieces, and it really hurts me with the horoscope’s scene that they actually want to tell us something, also the symbolic of 2 fishes which was the sign of Pisces and the beliefs of crying fish will be my favourite all-time quote!
‘Do you believe that fish could cry, if they do, who will be the one who seen?’ …this is really telling the feeling of Korn and it’s acceptance after all the disaster he made himself.
There are many childhood moments that remind me, especially the finger-writing on their back and when Kun use it on the air in the end scene, I couldn’t stop crying.
My favourite scenes so far are when they are just having conversation in the bathtub. It’s simple but the dialogue all along in this story made me believe that they are really love each other and it’s fun to watch. They keep all the small things in life to make it impact.
Anyway, I will never put my charger during playing my phone anymore.
Good job!

Unprecedented emotions
It feels like as the stories progress, the more risqué they get. The ending of this drama cleared things up well, but that's not to say that things weren't a little confusing all the way through.The story is about fraternal twins Kun and Korn who are at a point in their lives where they're facing the prospect of not being the most important people in each other's lives for the first time. They're incredibly close, so much so that it takes a while to figure out that they're actually brothers, and when a new student named Tod, and an old friend named Pond are added to the mix, jealousy, possessiveness and the feeling of being unwanted flares up in the twins.
I feel like I need to clarify that this isn't romance (although they made it seem like it was, oof), it's more about the feelings of seemingly losing the person you love the most and them being unable to comprehend and adjust to the situation. The romantical inclination they showed may have been a small mistake in expression, they didn't quite nail the closeness of the siblings in the way they intended.
The ending kind of fell flat though, it was obvious that they would follow their own paths, but there was a better way to do it than have them just ghost each other for months. I would have preferred if they had written it to be a situation where the twins are still involved in each other's lives and still close, but realise that there are some things they're allowed to have that are just theirs. But I appreciate what they tried to do, and it's not the worst miniseries in this anthology.

Best and worth to watch I'd say.
I'm thrilled that this is the first time in the whole series until this one episode story that I re-watch it twice. The story was beyond all my expectation when I thought at the beginning that they both will be together in what ways and it turns out that they're actually fight and separated in the end. You know... it's hard to write one story and let people sniff around and never stop thinking about how it's end so It's worth my time watching their life and understand everything they've done even in 2 shortly episodes.I hope to continue watching their side-story after the ending calling scene and let's see what happened to Kun and Tod later!!! ***I'm EXCITED****

I started this story three times: somehow the boys' acting in the first half of the first episode failed to grab my attention. So I forced myself to continue watching, and suddenly I was hooked. Though the acting was still pretty bad, I liked this story a lot!This is one of the more complex and intriguing stories in My Universe collection. It follows two brothers, inseparable fraternal twins who are growing up and starting to drift apart. Kun is the serious, studious and more intelligent brother. More mature as well, used to his happy-go-lucky brother's attitude and the lack of drive and seriousness, Kun is getting impatient to live his own life without trying to always accommodate his brother's desires. The arrival of Tod in their high school will reveal the tension in the twins' relationship and bring it to the breaking point. While Korn is trying to keep his brother glued to himself, Kun only wishes to get a bit of breathing space away from him. And even though it is hard for him, to stay away from his brother too, he realizes that it is a right decision that will allow them to have their own lives!
This is not a japanese drama so I never thought they would go the incest way as the cover image may suggest. They are just brothers, close and loving each other like brothers. No more no less! There is a beginning of a possible romance(Kun & Tod) which does not pan out. But that is not important. The accent here is put squarely on the twins' relationship and their personal growth and development. There is a mini drama involving Pond, a tutor and Korn which was eventually just brushed off. There should have been more serious consequences shown: and an apology is not enough in my book. But maybe the teens are more resilient today and get over traumatic events faster? They should not have introduced this side story as it was not treated correctly. There was enough material for the plot to stay focused on the twins' relationship!
The acting was bad in the beginning but it eventually turned all right. Those young actors definitely needed a few more acting lessons: the story demanded a lot more than standing and looking pretty like in some of the other stories (Fake Love, I'm looking at you!). They tried their best and what they did was correct but...
The title is very smart: Pisces means fish and is as well an astrological sign for those born in March as the boys seem to be. The boys keep a couple of fish in their bedroom called Left and Right and one of the boys is right handed while the other one is lef handed. I don't know if they did it on purpose or it is just the casting accident but it fits extremely well with the whole theme of the story. Pisces also resembles a lot to "pieces" as the boys seem to be two pieces of a whole, or two sides of the same coin ...
Pisces of Me is definitely worth the watch and is probably one of the best stories in this series. And not one single flashback (Fake Love, I'm looking at you!)! LOL

Me sorprendió!
Vaya, pensé que esta historia seria algo turbia, estaba esperando ya que esta historia de dos hermanos la tildaran romántica, y díganme que no fui la única que lo pensó al inicio, en especial cuando nos ponían escenas intimas de ellos con musica que en las demás historias usaban casi siempre para romanizar una escena. Al final me sorprendió gratamente.La historia de dos hermanos demasiado apegados uno del otro que les toca comenzar a vivir y tomar sus propias decisiones, aunque estas puedan llevarlos por caminos separados. y la verdad es conmovedora, ver un tipo de amor diferente en el BL, casi nunca nos exploran este tipo de relaciones fraternales, y terminamos viendo la vida de estos protagonistas y el inicio de una separación que nunca habían experimentado, para así poder vivir su historia, cada uno podrá vivir su propia vida sin tener que depender de las decisiones del otro, como vimos en la serie puede costar bastante desprenderse de una persona que siempre ha estado contigo, que nació literalmente contigo y que siempre han compartido todo, y los que tenemos hermanos ya sean gemelos o no (aunque no a todos le pasa) en mi caso personal si mis padres me mantuvieron unido a mi hermano menor, si cambiaban de escuela yo tenia que cambiarme porque era mejor para el, aunque al final yo misma obre para que existiera una separación entre nosotros, para mi paso igual en esta historia, al inicio vemos como es de "perfecta" su relación haciendo todo junto sin que nadie se entrometa, y cuando llega el factor "invasor" que podríamos llamarle en esta historia Tod, aquí inicia una separación, uno de los hermanos se comienza a enamorar y el otro lo cela, pero no es mas que celos de hermano y de temor a estar solo, a que alguien mas le importe a su hermano lo suficiente para dejarlo y vaya que es fuerte el mensaje, pero la realidad es que pasa mucho con los hermanos que son así de apegados.
En general, creo que es una muy buena historia, transmite mucho y si al principio puede confundir, creyendo que será una historia romántica entre ellos, pero eso en parte es culpa en como no la pintaban al inicio y como se sentía un poco romantizada, pero no lo fue. Sin duda una gran historia que no estaba esperando ver, desde la primera historia no hubo otra hasta este momento que valiera realmente la pena.
Vale la pena verla, es una historia sobre crecimiento personal y aceptación de la vida, de como debemos aprender a separados incluso de las personas que mas amamos para crecer y vivir la mejor vida posible.
