This is a great "short BL series...

This is a great "short BL series...First of all I'm older and from the USA. I think the rating for this series is too low. I don't know why the episodes where only 22-25 minutes each. I wish they were longer. I don't know why there were only 6 episodes. I wish there was more. Jeon as Jeong was just adorable in his character. He made me smile and laugh many times. I believe Jin and Yeon was very strong in his portrayal and he was very believable in the 3 lives that were presented. Jin's crying scene by the broken photo was awesome. Kim, Jung and Song were all very strong in their performance and in characters as scripted. I believe the basic story was great and how it all tied into how they meet up in present time was very cool and appropriate. The flow was good. My only wish was that the episodes were longer and I think they could have gotten 8 episodes easy and even stretched it to 10 to 12. This series is very likeable and is even a good rewatch.

Almost got it right

I really liked the two main characters. They were both very likeable from a scripting standpoint and an acting standpoint. The chemistry was great even though they were completely different personalities. The storyline was great up until Ep 7. It took a bit to figure out what happened in episodes 7 and 8. We never got an explanation of why somethings happened. Why Jin suddenly stopped being with woo. I'm glad they got back together though. That was also a very weak spot. The older guy was not likeable but not too unlikeable. Again, good scripting and he also did a good job in his role. The father was also a very enjoyable addition to see. A nice touch to the nice feel the entire series had again ep's 1-6 mostly. Also, this could have been a full-length series in my opinion. I hesitate with the last 2 episodes being cut versions of what was filmed. My opinion stands.

Great awesome BL

This is a great awesome series. It was done very well. I love all of the characters and they played their part very well. It shows many emotional situations that teenagers go thru and shows how to resolve them in the proper way. Maybe idealistic but I think there should be BL's that are displaying life as this is the way we hope things should be. I'm so glad the ending was good and the correct couple got together. For sure both main characters get best actor awards. Woo Tay and Noe Shin. Nam is honorable mention too. Cinematography and Music all very well done. A good watch.

Great Qualities

So this is another strong Taiwanese BL series not at but seriously close to the history series in overall quality. The cast is all wonderful including the female cast which are usually embarrassingly annoying in most other BL's.
I wish they would have acknowledged the time as adults when Shu Yi comforted Gao when his dad left. I also think the idea of Shu Yi being Gao's servant was a bit weird but entertaining none the less. Sometimes the story line went off track with the leads but didn't spend enough time on the secondary characters. Especially with Pie and Liu. The last little issue is with the end. Well, It was a little issue that becomes a big issue once the 1st episodes of season 2 is watched. I'm on episode 2 of season 2 and I have major issues so far. I hope that they can somehow draw me back in because as of now I'm emotionally out of season2.... and it has also affected season one for me. So be form warned about season 2.

Ya know!!!

I either hate or I love Pinoy BL's. This is the 1st one that I like a really really large amount. There are somethings to Love about this BL. Most of it comes from things the Danreb says. Then it turns around to things that JM says. Both from completely different view points and both in my opinion correct. On the down side there are a lot of lose ends that just fall of the plate or script so to speak. No spoilers but how JM wound up going from last relationship to a pick up site? Family, friends, and the house? Anyway, it was very enjoyable for the most part. The music, songs and singing was very good. Not sure if I want a season 2 that cements the idea that for me this was a very good BL series on the verge of greatness sometimes but just not great in totality. Again in my opinion.

Food and BL

I give it a D+ for being different...deserts and singers and BL. Really more like a B+ There is a lot to like about this series. That is why I say my biggest negative is the 10 minute episodes. I think I would have gotten very frustrated if I had to wait a week for another 10 minutes especially when 2 minutes is the beginning intro and ending credits. So I often say that it may be that if they added more it may have resulted in an inferiors series. Who knows with this theme being so different they may have been able to expand to 20 to 25 minute episodes and added to the depth of the stories. I liked all of the characters and thought the did very well to their characters. Different and good story... good cinematography etc. Likeable cast. That sums it up.

Bad messages sent

So the messages this story sent me are: 1.) Rich boys who gamble and rob someone with a knife can turn into a romantic relationship. Sure forgiving is one thing but come one... 2.) Nice medical student can be ripped off twice because main character is taken by rich kid who previously robbed him? Maybe season 2 will show that was a bad decision. I hope so.
The sister was a very good character and did a good job with acting. Not Usual with BL women. Also there was a lot of typical BL themes presented here. I thought they worked ok except the beach scene seemed foreced. Oh yeah the second couple story with the "I left you because I was depressed story" seemed forced and didn't flow. Also the quick I forgive you was a bit much for how upset King seemed to be. I'm hoping for better in season 2. Cinematography and music were really the best qualities. Also all characters were very attractive.

Awesome series

The Pilipino BL series are certainly not following a script like the Thai BL mostly do. And Thank-you for that. The scene the topics the scenario's are all very unique and interesting. Some do fulfill the initial interest and some exceed the initial interest. that's the case with Like in the movies. Warm touching and engaging. That describes the characters and the script. Ian certainly gets my Top actor award with Paolo very close runner up. Paolo's character was a bit more challenging so maybe he would win in the technical merit category. Anyway, Salute to all involved in creating this series. It will be viewed for many many years. I'm sure!

It's pretty good! Really!

Geez, ya know I was thinking "oh no not another baking series", now I'm like "ya know this should have been a longer series. " Seems too short and the writers got lost a few times. I can see the writers going like "oh shit we only have 2 episodes left." LOL
Seriously folks, the cast was really great. Ohm is a so-so acter but I really hated Shin in this series so I have to say Ohm did a good job at portraying an unlikeable character. All Guide has to do is smile and he's adding to the series. So with all it's flaws this is really an 8.0 series but I rated it a 9.0 that's because the cast was so strong even with a poorly written script...AND the rating here on MDL is too low. Yeah it's not right but that's what I do. (lol)
I would have liked to have seen Atom with someone and yeah Guy and Oab would have been sweet.
BTW I thought Grandma was just great.
For sure someone with a keen insight could have made this into an 8 or even 10 episodes and improved the story line.
This was so close. It is still watchable and for me rewatchable.
Lastly, It's better than most of the other series that have been airing the last half of 2023.
