This is how you do romcom bl
I haven't laughed this much for a series recently. It's not about comedy scenes but they delivered it brilliantly.we can see the helplessness of the main lead (akafuji) to stay calm from his crush.. not just a crush, aoyagi is his everything. They are the perfect one's for this role. Because, not everyone can do the secret romance, tension, jealousy with humour in it, but they done it beautifully. I really loved the hidden aoyagi printed t shirt, the hand kiss, and his faint. omg I was laughing out loud and my parents came to me by asking whether you need to see a therapist or not....
I loved the whole cast. Mainly the dialogues of akafuji, 'today our eyes met for 2.7 seconds, I'm certain.. at that time my heart stopped beating'. Seriously who will count those seconds, he's head over heels for aoyagi.
it's a must watch guys.. but it only has 3 episodes... and that's the only negative here.

Must watch
They are the most heartwarming couples i have ever seen. They just nailed it. I can't even take my eyes off from them. And there chemistry is outstanding. The way they look at each other... I can't explain that feeling.This is a simple story. Everyone can catch up the story line. This whole series is just about 1 hour and you can all binge-watch ( that's the plus point). Honestly i didn't skip any part.
And the another main interesting thing about this series is its OST. That one song will bring you all the vibes.
I need season 2🙈

Better than anticipated
Delivered more than expected. First of all, Great performance from the actors, especially new.. i didn't expected this much from him.Coming to the plot, I don't think its a simple love- hate story between hia and kuea, but in addition, they addressed LGBT community problems from the 1st episode itself. so i think we can expect more from them.
Apart from the trailer, the 1st episode shows that Hia really cares about kuea, but he never admit his feelings towards him, but we don't know why he is acting like this or what is the exact reason behind all this. So i think we have to wait untill the next episode.
Another interesting fact is that, new is really good at english, he speaks really well and he is a good singer. And as we all know zee is handsome and he maintained his aura throughout the episode. This Series is fun to watch and kinda portrayed the one side love vibe(in the 1st ep). And I'm a die-hard fan of maxnat (secondary couples), after watching- y destiny and why are you. I think you'll also fall for them.
Go for it guyz.. its 100% worth watching

Mystery plus thriller
First of all, have you guys watched ' Happy death day ' , then its the exact same theme with a slight difference.Here, a doctor is stuck in time. All starts when a boy got into an accident and the doctor couldn't save that boy. So to escape from this loop, he need to save the boy at any cost or he has to do something to avoid that boy from getting into an accident, its like a task that he must complete, otherwise he will stuck there for ever.
Its an interesting storyline. 1st ep was slight lagging but it was needed for that plot. And after few episodes we can't even wait for the next episode bcoz every ep ends with some mistery to unlock for the following ep.
As i said it is a mystery plus thriller series. And there are comedy scenes also that will make us laugh ( mainly whenever there was mild).
And the acting was on point, coz it's always difficult to portrait a doctor and they nailed it, it's like we can't even think that they wr not doctors. And fiat was only in few scenes but he made it realistic. Then what to say about tae and tee, they are handsome as well as really good at acting. And whenever i see tee, its like butterfly in my stomach and its always soothing to my eyes so sometimes i rewatch whenever i see him.
Overall i really liked this series and I'm very much hooked up to the story line. So everyone please support the series. Its a medical drama so whoever interested in studying medicine then u must watch it( just kiddin guys) but u should watch if u enjoy Mystery or fantasy drama

True love lives forever
They met after 100 years.. sounds cliche right.. but it was Mind blowing.This series will be remembered by many..
And it will always remain in my heart.. what a romantic story.. epic one.. this series itself is filled with all green flags. long time I had watched such a feel good family plus romantic drama.. I didn't know if I need to cry or enjoy their love towards each other at the same time.. no matter what, you have to watch the series to understand the depth that conveyed through this series.. then only you will find out, how a homophobic grandfather falls in love with a handsome yet cunning young man, and their love towards their family and friends.
And please can anyone tell me where can I get a niece like chu and and a friend like tao and third.. nobody can hate the cast.. they deserve so many awards and recognition..
This series had barely one song and it was perfect.
I need season 2 with some of their adventures and also to see further stories of other characters.
Love u offroad.. don't lose your smile for anything. Because it's precious, just like you.

Love story started from an eraser?
Not even a single kissing scene, but it will surely make you fall in love. Aoki was the cueeetesst in the world(I'm 100% confident about that) I can't even find any actors this much cute. This series helped me a lot to reduce my stress and made me smile whenever i watch aoki. Infact all the actors were really cute to the point that, we can't take our eyes off from them. There friendship, love, relationship everything was ON. And the songs, both the songs were amazing.( Don't forget to watch the snowman ost from utub) Ida and aoki had a really good chemistry and that makes this more fun to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Painful yet Beautiful
Yes we are talking about bl drama. Everybody can love whoever they want. but the problem arises when that person doesn't love you the way you want.It is a beautiful story director by Ray Jiang, he directed some of my favourite dramas like my tooth for your love, we best love.
The main lead ( wei Xian) is both attractive and hardworking, who works day and night to feed him and his sister after his parents death ( I don't know about the death part , but anyways they have nobody to look after them.) He is also a kind hearted person, because of that he brings a boy (yuan) from the street to his home and since then he is taking care of yuan as his brother. But the boy(yuan) slowly develops feelings for his guardian angel Wei Xian. He doesn't even know when did he fall in love, but when he knew he was completely trapped. And ofcourse wei Xian who only considered yuan as his brother feel betrayed after knowing the truth and sends his brother away for his studies. can he ever fall in love with his brother...
After watching 2 episodes these were my thoughts-
It is ok from the perspective of wei yuan, because he never considered wei Xian as his brother from the start. but the difficulty is all with wei Xian because he only thought yuan as his brother. how can he fall in love with his brother. I am not saying that he can't, but it's surely going to be difficult. we are not living in a fairy tale world and the director is known for portraying real people.
I hope they give justice to the viewers in the end.
Till now I'm happy watching this drama.. This is beautiful at the same time heartbreaking. i rewatched it so many times already. If you don't watch this drama, you are going to miss a wonderful experience in your life. From acting, music, direction, story everything is on top. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster.

It's more than just a love story
You need to watch this show guys..because it's amazing.. I'm not exaggerating, it really is.
Very first about our jam and film.. they were awesome.
I loved their acting and also their dedication to each and every episodes.( at some point we will hate charn to the point that we can't get back, but hats off to his acting and commitment that made all those scenes real) and some scenes gave me butterflies in my stomach, actually they have one the best onscreen chemistry.
Coming to the plot.. i didn't like the first episode and sincerely I was planning to drop this series but I just gave it a try.. after 2nd episode, the plot developed mainly the interaction between the main characters also.. ( that's what we want to see right?) I couldn't resist my laughter at some scenes and also my tears to some other..
it's a complete package and I really loved it.
one of the main things that pulled me towards this drama is it's music.. to tell you the truth, they had heartwarming songs and romantic ost till the end.
I really loved this series. I have a brother and sister.. so it was easy for me to understand the emotions and their love towards each other. so I think you guys also can connect. And I want to say you that, just give it a try.. please don't drop the series by just watching first 2 episodes.( if you're a jam film fan, then you'll definitely regret that decision)

Gmmtv's master piece
One of the best bl series. Its a full package of romance, comedy, sacrifice, inspiration all in one. All the cast were living in their own role and i can't imagine anyone other than mix for the role of tian. I fell in love with him the first time i saw him, he was just amazing. We can feel the pain of each character. And ofcourse earth was simply brilliant as always.After watching the whole series i felt pain, happiness all at once. I can't even explain how much this Series had inspired me to live a happy life with what we have.
A truly heartwarming story with perfect direction. And the places, visuals, the people all will bring joy by just watching it. Throughout this series we will get to see more of nature, villagers, animals and its really soothe our heart.
This series is perfect without long kisses or too much skinship. Its simple and that's i like about this series. If you don't watch this series you'll surely regret about this later.

Underrated Gem
I was kinda bored of some bl series nowadays, so YouTube recommended this true gem to me today. I wonder why there is no review for this series till now. So here I'm to write my opinion.This is a story between two women and they have a big age gap. One is in her mid 30s (neung) and the other one is 16 or 18 I guess. The women who ran away from her wedding is now finding her career in painting. And the girl is devoted to this women, finding peace in her presence. Both of them have family problems mainly with their grandmother.
1st I didn't like the acting of the girl (always behaving like a kid, clingy), but at the end of episode one I realised that, to show their age gap she has to act like a kid. And I'm telling you that everybody can act in this series. After gap, I think this has one of the cute actors, good acting, story, music everything.
I like the way neung always protect the girl at any cost like she's a personal bodyguard for that girl.
I'm waiting for the next episode to air.
I heard that this a mini series with only few episodes, then that will be the main drawback of this series. I hope they will give justice to the series by giving us minimum 10 episodes.
Anyway you can give it a try.. no don't try.. watch it guys. It's good. Believe me and please don't drop it in the first few minutes.. you'll regret

Its hurts but it hurts for good
OMG tofu is so cute. I need a tofu in my life, actually we all need him. He is such a baby.When i watched the 1st episode, i thought why this series has 1.5 hr running time and 16 episodes... How can a simple story be this much long.. but after watching some of the ep i can say that this series is too much complicated and so many stories to unlock. And if you guys love to watch mysterious series then its for you. After all i really hooked up to this series from the start because it was a different experience to me.
Firstly it was a fantasy drama plus it air thrice every week
plus it have 85-90 min running time.
Apart from that it portrait the real story of us.. how do we react to a situation and what we need from others, attention, care, and some family problems everything clearly portrayed here
These are the reasons why i was interested into this series (and now also)
This series is a rollercoaster ride through out from the start till the end. I loved the story but it's a little bit complex to understand at 1st
And especially all the songs are nice.
Acting of both the actors is marvellous mainly nat( not just them everyone nailed their character ). When nat gets angry even i get scared. Tofu is sweet as icecream.. loved him sooo much. Don't try to binge-watch, it is much better to watch ongoing. And the best part is its airing on Netflix.
Don't think abt the finale its the ri8 end to the series and little heartbroken but all the pieces are fixed at the end. And all of u who came here to watch a cute comedy series then its not for u . It will brok ur heart, tear ur soul and mainly you'll b happy and sad in every ep. This series is a master piece guys watch it

One word - masterpiece
Oh my god.. what a 1st episode. Amazing. I didn't expected anything from this series, but from the start to the end, i didn't even get bored for a second. 'Masterpiece', that's what I want to say about the starting. 1st episode have to be engaging and they have done it so well mainly by developing the characters and portraying the tension between the main leads. And by the way, their chemistry was overflowing. who made this casting deserve an award, because they were living in their role. And my precious baby kaownah , he made a guest role and gave his best.Overall I loved everything from its 1st episode itself and I'm going to watch the rest of the episodes for sure. Do not miss this series because nowadays it's rare to find a different story like this.

Naturally perfect
Its truly amazing.A natural story, natural acting, and everything seemed perfect. I can't even get over with the actors.. great talent to convey things. They were like family. The best part is the dialogues that they said, all touched my heart, deep inside. This whole series was like a roller coaster ride. They taught us many things, to be happy, to fall in love and love can be simple and also it can make us happy in different ways. I was about to quit this drama in the 1st place.. but after completing 1st 2 episodes, i get attached to it. Because its amazing. Everything in this series is the one we want to hear or understand about love. It taught me a different perspective towards love
It will be a true loss if you didn't watch this.
No words.. it's more than what you imagine.

Truly the best story ❤️
We all have a one sided love story in our life, right? We tried so hard to win over them. Sometimes we just pray to god for them to look at us. This is that story, for all of us. This series will recall our memories. That 1st love, we buried deep inside. I felt the actor's happiness, pain, anger everything. War was living in his role.. great acting. Its a best series to remember the one's we loved long ago. And they have the best ost. It will make you fall in love again. Overall great performance, this is truly a best story❤️Was this review helpful to you?
