THE BEST KBL EVER
I am not exaggerating when I say this is THE BEST KBL ever produced. I am actually appalled at quality,run time and no of episodes. For years and years I have kept asking for KBLs to have good budget,run time and episodes and my dream has finally been accomplished. The plot is so good and refreshing. Most of the time or almost all of the time,we are given two pairing and the universe will make them work out together. But here the main character is going from one person to another in search of his eternal love. You wouldn't know who it is cause every one he dates seems like it would be the one. Which makes sense irl too. I loved this concept. The acting is off the charts too. The main lead is an exception actor. He managed to have a good chemistry with every guy he was paired with. I am actually amazed. That I had to stand up and give a standing ovation. The series didn't dragged even though it had a fair amount of run time and episodes. And the kisses and r-rated scenes was top notch. It was sexy and hot. KBL says GOODBYES to dead fish kisses. Damn i could go on and on about this series and I would never run out of praises. A bijilion out of 10. Literally perfection!Was this review helpful to you?
Started from the bottom and we soar to the skies
This is what you call a blessing in disguise. Cause the first episode was not good at all but I am glad I stuck around. Cause it kept getting better and better. The plot was simple but well executed and cute. Both the characters were really likeable. Phumjai in the first episode was really annoying than cute but after the first episode he became so cute. Yang too was so cool and cute and expressed falling in love with his eyes. The other characters were not done so well but it was expected since there were too many and it had only few episodes with small run time but it still did quite well. The chemistry between the characters is not a joke. The actors did very well. The thirsty scenes as well as the cute scenes were done very well. I am so amazed and satisfied. A very enjoyable sweet and simple drama. Give it a try at least after the first episode. You won't regret it .Was this review helpful to you?

The best korean BL!
I actually liked this way way better than the first series. The production, acting, drama and everything was boosted by 10 times. I may be one of the few people that actually like this sequel. I understand the problems that they faced and the reasons for the problems. I understand why Ji Woo did all that. I loved the angst, the drama and the acting. This was way better than the first cause we saw more emotions from both Seo joon and Ji woo. I liked every part it of it. This like one of the few series that actually made me cry like a baby. The way when Ji woo begged Seo Joon to hugged just melted me and made my anger towards him disappear. The raw emotions when he was apologizing to Seo Joon for all the things he has done was just breath taking and took me out of this world. I really liked it. The music was also so much better here. I would say this is the best korean bl series for me. Korea could easily dominate the bl market if they wanted to.Was this review helpful to you?

A simple story but executed so badly
This gotta be the most basic ass series I have watched in a long time. So the story is a story old as time. Boy likes boy, boy tired of chasing boy, boy tries to get over the other boy but the now the other boy wants him and tries to get him back. So how did they ruin such a basic ass plot? There is one thing that I hate in this series. Its the lack of consent. Its 2022 and people still try pass kissing without consent romantic or acceptable in a series. NO, its not cute and it would never would be. Another thing that I hate is the dragging. It drags the story much with the misunderstandings. Like if the Kluen actually spoke and use his words even once it would have ended so many episodes ago. Now the acting.... to be honest, I like Dunk but boi his acting was kinda bad..The parts where he had to get emotional like being angry and crying were especially weird. I would laugh since I couldn't tell if he was about to sneeze or cry lol. GMMTV need to stop hiring actors for lead role if they cannot act, just because they are attractive doesn't cut it. I do hope he get better tho, cause I like Dunk and Joong's chemistry. The music is nice have no complains whats over. Joong has a nice voice. Now the rewatch value is high cause there are alot of cute moments. Overall, it was not bad not good but just ok. It started out nice but felt flat in the middle. So if want to watch this series just watch it but do not expect anything.Was this review helpful to you?

Sweet
The plot is sweet and all but I gotta admit it was a bit confusing. I wanted more tbh from them,more romance is what I wanted to say. They were just about to start the romance then boom he died. I am ashamed to say this but I was kinda waiting for an R-rated scenes the entire movie. Both the actors were so hot,so I expected that there will be one but alas. I wanted them to have a romantic relationship first. Not like the relationship they had before was not romantic but i wanted more, starting deeply in love in someone's eyes,date scenes,awkward silences. I feel like this would have been better as a series cause there is so much interesting plot to be given here. A movie just doesn't do it justice. But I still liked it. It's cute but I was expecting a little bit more.Was this review helpful to you?
A nice watch
JBL almost never disappoints tbh. They always can provide well even if the episodes are short. Even thought the series is short, it told the story pretty well and wasn't rushed. Although I was not satisfied with the last episode, it was still very good. The plot is good, the chemistry is nice and the thirst scenes are great. Always looking to BLs from japanWas this review helpful to you?
It was OKAY
I was expecting more tbh. I was really hooked in the first 2 episodes but idk after that my expectations kinda keep going down. First of all, I didn't like the SA like fucking at all. It is gross. We should never tolerate this tbh. I was literally so uncomfortable by the way they did THAT. Also the harassement. I don't like bullyxvictim. The second lead couple was literally this. Also so much unimportant scenes and characters. The bully's sister was really a useless addition. The bully hates Tae yi just because his sister likes him. Just that nothing else. I thought that there was something more deep going on there but nah. It just made Joo Ha look pathetic. Also the main problem with KBL is always time, idk why. This had good enough run time tbh but they still couldn't use the limited time properly. KBL should learn a thing or two from Japan. Everything was shifting way too fast. Tae yi and Se heon relationship went from strangling each other to besties holding hands to strangling each other again and then to lovi dovey lovers all in just a span of 1 day. Really need a lot of time for this drama tbh. 1 hour and 16 episode kind. KBL really need to stop adapting these webtoon with 2 couples cause they can barely handle 1. But this series is still better than this company's last production. I would say that. Acting was okay, Not the best but also not bad. The ost were okay. I would say the thing I admire about this was the kiss, I though i would be left disappointed with those blur kisses and peck kisses but they actually kiss for real in the last episode with lips moving and all. So I would praise them for that since it is very rare in KBL, Overall, its okay, not anything special. I was expected more but atleast it wasn't below my expectations.Was this review helpful to you?

THIS IS SO GOOD WTF
I am literally bawling my eyes out. WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO WATCH THIS??????? Literally masterpiece. I am bawling my eyes out. I actually never cry while watching a movie but this just got me. To grow old with your lover and to die peacefully and live together in heaven ahhhhhhhhhhh my eyes is becoming a waterfall. The story is so good, so sweat and so beautiful. I will never forgive myself for putting this on hold for so long. At first I thought it would be some cheesy highschool bl but it was not at all. This is beautiful. JBL definitely knows how to punch your gut. I will always have high hopes for JBL. They really know how to give us Q U A L I T Y. literally one of the best jbl ever. If you haven't watched this go do it right NOW. Not even a request but a threat. Drop whatever you are doing a watch it NOW.Was this review helpful to you?

Cute
JBL never disappoints. They manage to take their short episodes and short run time and make it amazing. They always serve and eat. Other BLs from other regions should learn and take notes from japan tbh. Cute story, shows about the toxic work culture of japan annd a happy ending. The actors did great. Although i though this will be more R 18 because of the first episode but in the end it is just overly cute.Was this review helpful to you?
Actually really enjoyable
I didn't think I would enjoy such an old BL but I surprisingly did. It actually did pretty well for a bl of its time. The only questionable part is the ending I guess cause I don't know how you come back from THAT but other than that it was really good. The acting was pretty good, nicely budgeted and good plot.Was this review helpful to you?
Actually Quite Enjoyable
Pleasantly surprised. Didn't think I would like it so much. I only picked this up cause I was bored but it did not disappoint. It made me laugh, then it made me sad and it finally made me cry. I really liked the complexity of the characters. They are all flawed in their own way and as the plot progressed, they grew. I love how it explains things that it was so abrupt at the beginning leaving you with why did they did this and that. But after they showed the reason it makes your heart cry. Three characters who are broken because the loss of a loved one. They come together and help each other. I love how there is no bad guy in this show. Just flawed humans. You felt sympathy for every character. Truly a gem. Worth a watch.Was this review helpful to you?
so good but so short
I didn't expected this series to be good. I saw the run time and my expectations were low. But I gave it a try anyways since it was short and I had nothing to lose, and I am glad that I did and now I am regretting that it is so short. This series has the plot to stretch it to a 16 episodes with 1 hour runtime. We need a depth of how they met in highschool, their story in highschool, the reason for Dong Wook insomnia, how they first fell in love, Dong wook's reason for the misunderstanding should also be expanded more, just because he saw Do Hyun laugh with someone who is not him is not a good excuse. We need dept. BUT STILL they managed to make it good. Even with the lack of dept and run time. I am actually surprised. Another thing I love about this is the skin ship. Actually a good kiss which is rare in KBL. I wasn't even expecting one or i was expecting a bad one, but they actually did pretty well. So applause to that. The actors did well. Kinda here a there more emotions is needed but otherwise okay. They had really chemistry with each other. And also I am looking forward to the romance of the 'second lead' since he didn't really do much to be even consider a second lead. So in conclusion this was good, But could have been better with more episodes. Still overall very good.Was this review helpful to you?
Grows on you
Typically I wouldn't watch such a simple drama but it kinda grew on me. I even dropped it the first time when I watched it and just picked it up again cause I was bored and I am glad I did. Even though the plot is simple, it was executed pretty well. No unnecessary miscommunication, no dragging and no over dramatic scenes. It was simple and stick to the plot. The acting was done really well. I had my doubts in the first episode but as it progress I realized they were actually good actors and executed their emotions properly. Most of the times I find it cringe when they act cute but Baram actually was pretty cute. Now the music definitely deserve a round of applause. It was so freaking good. Overall it is good. May take some times but it grows on you.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing, beautiful, cinema, life changing, breath taking, never seen before...
and etc and etc. You can't run out of praises for this BL. Korea really surprised me with this cause I didn't think we will be getting another amazing BL out of them after Semantic error and TMS. The plot, characters, ost and everything is just simply amazing. I didn't think that this would be this great. I haven't seen an trailers or was even excited for its released but when I picked it up cause I was bored and I was simply just left amazed. The plot is so interesting. A boy who lives under a mask saved by a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything. I loved how they found each other and simply feel in love with each other slowly. I loved the presentation of depression and guilt and how their isn't any cliches. I loved how their isn't any misunderstanding and the main lead tries to talk to the other main lead. I loved the Cinematography it has an indie vibe. I loved the chemistry between the actors. The actors really well in portraying these characters. I loved how the actors are so comfortable with each other and didn't shy away from a kiss. Another that KBL is infamous for are the dead fish kiss and this series ate and left no crumbs. I keep saying Love a lot because I just love love and love this series. This is literally now my favourite KBL of all time. I never thought I will see the day Semantic error and TMS will be dethrone but I am glad it did. It means that KBL is finally moving in the right direction. I can't believe we are living in this ear. Simply amazing, a million out of 10.Was this review helpful to you?

Short, Simple and Cuteness overload.
This BL really exceeded my expectations. I was not really looking forward to it but after I watched it I couldn't have enough of it. The plot is really simple and it is not really anything special. Friends who wanted to be more than friends got split apart because of a misunderstanding. A tale as old as time. But it handles the basicness so nicely. First of all I love how the intentions of both the leads are shown from the start and the misunderstanding got cleared up pretty quicky. I also loved how they became a couple quickly and we did not need to wait until the end of the episode. I also loved how they end up together at the end. I don't like long distance relationship just after they have got together again. And finally the one thing that I will sing praises for is the kissing. They actually kiss like real people and didn't half-ass it or shy away from it. Most KBL are pretty infamous for their dead fish kiss but this one served and left no crumbs. I also loved how they acted like a real couple that are dating. They do not shy away at the slightest touch or are coy with each other even if it is just the two of them. Hell they even do it outside. I also loved the casual romantic gestures like sleeping on the lap, hugging and a kiss on the cheeks. So I am very amazed. The actors did very well. They were so adorable and had a lot of chemistry. Really amazing. A must watch if you want to watch something cute and simple and won't take so much time.Was this review helpful to you?
