A WHOLESOME SLAPSTICK SHOW!!!!
I never expected this series as the one who slaps not only as a slapstick comedy show but a wholesome one too. At first, I was on the fence if I want to watch this, and I was like "shit, whatever I'll watch it”. The show is filled with cringey/cheesy moments but fused with love and good directing feature. The series never failed to make me laugh even how cringey the scenes get. I think the good pacing of the story and the chemistry towards the two male leads are properly presented. I must say that it's rare for me that comedic series hits hard like this one did.Admittedly, some scenes like getting stuck in the washing machines in the laundromat is rather cringe and absurd bcuz of the editing and shit, but I don't mind it at all. I keep in mind that this show should never be taken seriously especially the special effects, background sound fxs and editing.
The two male leads did very well portraying their respective roles. Yoon really have his overflowing charm at his disposal. Everytime the episode leads to an end and he looks in the camera he's got my heart skipping a bit. I love Talay here bcuz in contrast to Yoon (being sometimes OP during comedic scenes), he fuels up some of the humor. It's like a balanced pairing for the two. The supporting characters also did well but I'm a bit like meh to the Yuri character. I think she's unnecessary bcuz I'm tired of bitches pursuing a guy. I appreciate how they tone down her character.
The love triangle is good and it ended that Arm chooses to back out and let the two love each other.
I'm kinda disappointed of Pun leaving but luckily he got back after a year.
I love Porpla and her two bitches. I love how they always dress for the occasions like whenever they show up they wear different outfits (firefighters, soldiers, etc.). I love that in finale I got to witness Porpla having her soft and serious side shown when she have a heartfelt conversation with Pun. I might say she also did that!!
I love when sometimes the series gets serious and the finale hits hard especially the farewell party for Pun.
They might be a crazy family in a large apartment building but they formed a wholesome bond with each other that makes me love this series even more.
This is really an unexpectedly beautiful sitcom for me. This is just perfect and lightweight that prevents the viewer from analyzing shit bcuz it is what it is. This is solid and well written. I love how it turned out.

DIDN'T SEE SOMETHING I DON'T THINK WAS COMING FR!!!!!
This title is just absolutely solid at least the first half which is very promising. The plot got confusing in the latter part which is a plot twist. When I was really watching it, I was so glued at anything happening between young Phop and Dew and how just their homophobic town came crushing gays like homosexuality is an epidemic. The part where homosexuals were blamed bcuz of the STDs rampant presence in their town and forcing gays to be straight. It's just disturbing and sad to see that, especially when Phop participated in the so-called treatment. The bruises he got from the "treatment" is cruelly sad and I got infuriated. The story was so compelling. The moment of spending with each other and running away from their homophobic hometown together. I really sobbed at that entire first part. The plot gotten confusing. It's like "what in the world??!! Am I still watching the same movie?!!??” This became another story of a forbidden love between a teacher and his student. The reincarnation thing made me realize that I was still watching the same movie. Not really a fan of gender swap here. It would have been better if Dew reincarnated as a boy. It became like a weird connection between the two.Even they ended up together I still think there still some things left unanswered like his wife, Liu's bf and anything I forgot to mention. I assumed that when they bungee jumped they died from drowning bcuz apparently the harnesses weren't attached to them.
I like the cast especially Nont and Ohm. Actually they are the reason why I watched this. I think they served a raw and pure talent and effort which paid very well. I love how intense the drama here. It really encouraged my senses about hatred toward homosexuals. I think this movie do a lot better if the another lead is not female. Didn't have any other issues except to the loose ends it left in the end.

DARK DEEP DIVE WAY FURTHER FROM S1
I was really not expecting this sequel to just switch things up in such a morbid way. While the s1 had us focusing mainly on the missing mother and the Yoo Han which are direct, this one is both confusing and intriguing because it covers every horizon it sees. I never expected some shady mono community where his mother joined in. I was not really expecting the disturbing surgery that turned out to be just an experiment by a con artist, hallucinogenic candies among others. I just had a lot on my hands, I can't really handle so much. The plot just threw me directly to what should I be witnessing, Yoo Han being kidnapped and his long endeavor of finding his long lost mother. I wasn't prepared for the edgy start of this season. The plot is somehow cohesive to s1 when it's about his journey of finding his mother. It's much more darker because there were really blood revealing his mother's death. The new things being introduced in the eps are too fast for me to pick up. It was like, hold up I can't remember faces that well.What I love about this series is the shady lore or darker spin of the plot making it not about just two characters loving each other leaving his mother for a moment. I was really glued about the things happening around here. I love Hyuk here, both adorable and uplifting even when the situations gets crappy. I love how he stood his ground portraying his character damn well not overpowering anyone in the series. He's easily likeable.
The OST is good.
Overall this is such a risk taker for a sequel and it worked. Though I don't like the bloody or disturbing scenes here, I commend how the sequel is done plus there is also a cliffhanger hinting s3. Even if it plans to have s3, I still watch it to know how it'll turn out. Most likely it'll be a love triangle since his mom died already. I cannot hate it, though this was not a prefect spin-off I still like it (better than s1 I guess).

This literally gave cuts to the plot. It all chopped up behind tbh ?
Out of all the Korean BLs I've watched, this fell at the bottom rank because I'm still trying to figure out what happen after watching 8 eps.Okay so first things first, I like the two leads especially the one who portrayed Yeong Woo. He and his character is easily likeable, unproblematic and optimistic but does that can be a big redeeming factor to this series? Nah, don't think so.
The story is confusing along with the pacing like the two are recipe for disaster. Sometimes I'm trying to understand the story (like the other character trying to win over Ki-Jin from Yeong Woo) but it did not work at all. The pacing is too fast for my liking and I don't think I got a grip on what's going on. All I know was Ki-Jin encounters Yeong Woo and they became friends suddenly and Yeong Woo became a model instantly then they're planning to attend the show in NY and that's it.
I was like, Yeong Woo got his dream of being a model in New York crumbled and I expected him to loathe Ki-Jin but they're just like "hi, long time no see". I'm trying to understand how tf that happened. I don't think I-Bin added something to the plot but I don't like him ngl. There was never a tension between Yeong Woo and I-Bin nor did they compete to win Ki-Jin over.
The OSTs are good but the plotline and pacing just fcked everything up. I somehow expected something good from it but nah they just disappointed me.

THIS IS HOW U IMPROVE THE SERIES, YES!!!!!
So this title had kept my interest, I didn't actually mind how long this season was all I know is this is really well done. I love that I got the blueprint of the story in a few eps. I was really engrossed with the drama and tension that builds up especially towards the main leads and Jeed. The chemistry between Phun and Noh grew but I dunno they should have ended their relationships with their gfs to begin with. That became a challenge for them especially Phun's father is intimidating like the pressure he puts onto him, that's why I get the confusion and awkwardness Phun and Aim has. I also love the side couple Earn and Pete. Earn is such a cutie and I love how they became close with each other, detaching affection towards Noh. I also love how Jeed's character evolved or became. She was like an outcast and only Yuri was her friend in the school. I pity her so much because she is treated unfairly and the risk her part time job poses toward her [I mean for money you're forced by your manager (?) to pose sexually and nude for magazines]. That's damaging for her especially when her so-called bf just humiliated her in front of many students throwing her into the pool and Aim being a two-faced bitch we all know of. I love how Jeed had become like she came back risen from the grave newborn avenging bad bitch we all really love. I love her aura being a menace to bitches who did her wrong like “bitch let set these utterly fugly bitches on fire”. Yes! It got me so much not until in like a retreat trip I guess where she tied up and planning to drown her horrible ex in a nearby river. That's off limits girl, calm down.Aim, never liked her from the start. She's a two-faced witch who likes to clash her friends with each other like how she did sparked trouble between Jeed and Yuri's friendship. She is also a triflin' ass ho, and I guarantee you she deserves to be tied up and slapped in the face left and right, top to bottom and in the middle. Out of all the struggle in the series, she is the root of them all. She tried to seduce Noh like ewww she's so shallow. I'm not sorry for not liking her ok, I f+---- hate her to the bone. At least she got this series spinning around. She added much tension and anger, well she earned my hostility towards her in another level.
This is a beautiful well-developed season for me. It has been a wild ride between the couples and their friendships. I know everyone can relate about loving one another, those being bullied wanting to get revenge and those two-faced shit we see and talk too (we all have those kind of people you know).
I love how much improvement it showed me. This is how you make a season or a series. Nevermind how long it is as long as the story is really captivating and the cast as well I'll never get bored just like the Untamed having 50 eps and nah I never got a snoozefest or boredom in my mind. This series gave me the excitement and thrill they wanted to give me, and they DELIVERED, okay. No joke I really was impressed by this season. Wishing directors and producers of other BLs out there to be inspired of the producers and director of this series. THIS IS IT!!!

A series with needing tissues for their issues
Damn this series is problematic. I don't want to say it's painful to watch but uncomfortable. There were many things going around in the series like the problems encountered by the main leads: a mother---ker humiliating Fiat, a sudden appearance of an abusive mother of Fiat and conspiring ugly shits trying to break the main leads' relationship. Those problems went on after one another. I pity Fiat more here than I did in TharnType 2. This was just a horrible roller coaster for Fiat honestly.The bed scenes (should I say because there's another steamy scene in the shower haha lol!). I like this drama beyond the flaws which are mostly the surrounding issues I said before. I love the gang of Leo and Fiat, especially my girl Anda who protected the main leads towards the end. You go girl!!! I really laughed a lot when they gave Fiat a vibrator hahaah and when Leo sees it he look at his thing. That was funny as hell!!! The friends surrounding Leo and Fiat are so thoughtful when helping them like tracking down rivals or enemies of the two and exposing the two conspiring idiots trying to break Leo and Fiat apart. I adore the twins, every time we got twins in the series I instantly fond of them like the twins from HIStory 3: Make Our Days Count. I love the side couple too, they are lovable.
With all of those redeeming things about this series, I don't think I will not mind Fiat's suffering because of the motherfckdsk out there like his mother. I am so so so uncomfortable when she showed up like there's something f---- wrong about her. I can sense it. I really hate the antagonistic assholes in this series they are the worst. They took a toll on Fiat's mental health when he remember the suffering from being a child into the stalking pervert basketball player, his daddy issues and his new wife and the haters trying to get in the way of Leo and Fiat.
BUT these problems surrounding the series did not reflect the reputation of the series itself. I think this is a great series because it is more realistic like the haters and the family issues everyone can relate about. I really commend the cast especially First deserving applause for being an amazing actor. I love this, this kinda reminds me of The Effect (mini series) which is also realistic in any sense. This series is not overly lovey dovey and I love how they presented the issues here, still kinda wished the issues with her mother must have been resolved in another way. Overall this series is good!!

As I said “been there, done that”
Ok so I have complaints with regards to the series:1. I don't really get why each episode are so long. It just gave me snoozes and boredom sighs, like damn is that it. I'm dissatisfied how long each ep, this should have been shorter than my favorite short ass Korean BLs.
2. The story or plot is plain used already and the pacing is too slow for me. There were no oomph with the storyline whatsoever that keeps my interest. This should have been a mini series of some sort at least for me. There's few more to flesh out in the plot that can be accomplished even if it's just a mini-series.
3. Acting, um, good. Let's move on.
4. Chemistries? The main leads fine, KaownahTurbo yes. Fourwheels and the other one is great, greater than the main lead. I wished they explored more about Fourwheels and the other guy because chemistry is overflowing and captured my attention. Wished they have more screen time, they deserved it.
So that's that. Never really mind about anything in this series. I never was really looking forward watching this, neither did I set high expectations with this. This series gave two redeemers (Fourwheels and the other guy, damn I forgot his name and Kaownah and Turbo). This series is not bad it's just not it for me. Well at least this is not that awful unlike Myday The Series ehem oopsie. That's all y'all!!

DAMN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING!!! ??
Another short ass BL that had a great potential! If it weren't for how short it is, it would be amazing and compelling. This one is quiet unique from other BL being with supernatural characters which one of the main leads is a vampire. The pacing of the story is hella fast but i think I can follow. There were just like “this is the story” then they have been putting a bit of other story like another vampire guy who loves Jun Ho. I get it, Jun Ho needs a pure blood human to make himself a human but I don't understand the logic of being a vampire here like unaffected with the sunshine. They could have just made him afraid of sunlight and dislikes garlic or something like that. One I don't really think I get is that sucking another human with pure blood in the past then hunts another one which is Min Hyun which means like he's just another victim like he was not that special. I like the cast, I really do especially the main leads. The acting, is great you could tell. I really do like the chemistry of the two. The Osts are no joke!! Dream by SWAY made me cry so much (like shit, I can't) and the other osts of this drama are also good. I was really intrigued with the story but I think, it could have been better if they did not rushed it just like Enchanté and Star In My Mind. I think it's rushed. The story needs more polish and clarity. That's just the problem, how the story lost my interest for being such a short drama with short eps and running time. The director and the ones created this drama needs more time creating series just to see the full potential of it.Was this review helpful to you?

I WAS WARNED WHAT WAS GOING ON!!!!
Damn, this series is very very deep and so real. It feels like this is a short film to advocate awareness about mental health issues, rape, suicide and social media craziness that can bring serious mark in someone's mind. Although this is just a 3-episode type of series, it's not boring it gives you much more to engage urself into it. I was really shooketh about how the story goes and the crazy plot twists here and there. I was so speechless especially at ep 2 when I thought Kheng broke down depressed and broken he will appreciate Shin's love and company but nah. The scene where Kheng beat and rape Shin is so so devastatingly painful (like a thousand of daggers stabbed into ur heart at the same time). Damn, u better give it up for the producer, cinematography, director...... just everything else who made this series. BIG CLAP for y'all, you really did that!!!! I was really glad the social issues, rape and suicide were tackled excellently. I never ever thought that this series is raw, deep and heart wrenching! The actors did their thing very very well. I love how this series presented the series of cause and effect of something harmful to someone else's life and those anyone or anything around them. It's just excellent, pure excellence!!!! The way the story is conveyed, I don't really think to rewatch it again but this is worth recommending to everyone. This series is really not intended for people who experience trauma (rape, suicide, mental health problems). This is one of the best yet short series out there. That's how you make a series. If it's a short one just make sure u engage ur audience and make sure that u conveyed the message very well. Periodt!!!Was this review helpful to you?

NOTHING OVER THE TOP BUT SPECIAL!!!!
This kind of series is not really my top-pick but I love it! Idk what this series has on me but I was hooked by this. There's a lot cliches and awkwardness here but u know, I didn't mind it, at all. Cooper and Poy chemistry is cute and they might not shine so much in this series but I love their sweet moments. Ryan and Intouch chemistry, for me, is meeehhh it's fine but not the best. Like, sure they can exist I don't mind. Ryan's dubbed voice is overwhelming, not matching his looks and aura. I know because he's Chinese that's why his dialogues were dubbed (he's not probably fluent in Thai). Talay and Perth did their thing. The other couple is good but the actor portraying Thara is so manly and attractive. I'm not really fan of a lead being easily jealous but sulking moments are fine. This series got me, the episodes are getting better and better. When it comes to acting, the actors need a little more polish. Overall this series is enjoyable and recommendable to those who wants to breathe fresh air after watching complicated bl out there.Was this review helpful to you?

WHAT A PILE OF MESS AND DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
So for this series, I was really confused and stressed of what's going on because the plot twists and some things are cliche and redundant. I can't take it that Wayu is suffering in love for the few last episodes. The Mysterious Pha did not really helped because, goddamn he broke Wayu's heart then coming back at the end making the series disappointing to end. What's the sense of hiding Pha's face off cam?!? KimCop is way better and, I must say, the only saving grace of the show. There were lots of twist and turns in this series and those were awful in a sense. Maybe it's just me, but the other cast were so confusing of which whom is whom? that kind of thing. I heard this series is meant to shed some sunshine to KimCop couple but my god why it feels like Bass's character is the center of this series. I feel so sad for Wayu because he had been so lonesome since his breakup with Pha, only to be revived and let down by Thanu. I don't get it!??!!Like I say KimCop is the best (well, the only) couple of this series and they should have been given a series of their own and leaving Wayu alone with Pha. The OSTs are good but damn the plot is a disappointing. Some of y'all need to fix that next season. I don't want to have snooze fest episodes throughout the next season that this season gave me.
You better come through next time....

A sweet cute series to pass your time.
I have watched this series, this short series!??!? I was really in a haze of the plot. I think it's kinda digestible but there's something can be done to make it better. I love the cast especially Tong and Mawin, as well as Fluke. As you can remember three of them (Tong, Mawin and Run) came from TharnType. Their acting skills, for me, improved. Mawin's sense of humor were toned down and Tong's demeanor in TharnType is more mild than here. In this series his character clings to a somewhat dramatic spectrum of the series. Honestly, I really like Mawin here among others. He really pulled me in. Mawin and Run have a good chemistry. Although they are a chaotic couple in TharnType, in this series their togetherness is more calm and not irritating. And that's what I like. It just felt like it is where it should be. Fluke, on the other hand, is very charismatic. The way he stare at Tong it feels like he will eat him like yess tf!!The downside of this series is that the plot is mediocre in a sense, two students being together as the show goes. I also hate the violence where a gang of three beats a student because of unreasonable shits. Yeah those are the defects of this series but after all it's good to watch and rewatch.

It's just a lovey-dovey ride 'til the end. ???
This series took a close angle to Saifah and Zon and this extended story between them is not really making any sense in the actual storyline but it's enjoyable to watch the first episode is beautiful (the rest actually but the first one is dramatic). I was never really turned off of their cuteness flowing throughout after the first episode, nothing really happen, the actual storyline is not disturbed thankfully. We were offered with these extended eps that are considered as some sort of cute cliches without leaving plot holes that might harm the plotline and I'm good with that. I don't really mind of just watching them having their time with each other and spend their time together loving each other. This extended side story is really just good to say the least.Was this review helpful to you?

WHAT A COMPLETE DISASTROUS RIDE!!!!
Ok so with this series I was feeling at the first watch of the trailer, I was like "it's pretty interesting" because it started of Sandee and Thada slept together. The first few episodes, I was like just tolerating some scenes and I was just basically rooting for PeteKao here actually. I was really clenching my fist to punch the stupidness out if Sanrak's face. I am good with other characters (except May, Ella, First and Fahsai also). I can't really imagine how she tolerate his boyfriend triflin' with another bitch. I was really trying to contain myself when she forgives his bf and keeping track of his treachery for nothing just to forgive him over and over again. That is really toxic and it seemed like Sanrak is usually retarded to anything she do and act. I hate her passive behavior towards her bf especially when she and her classmate caught him with a bitch on a resto. She always dismisses suspicion and dispel her rights to be angry to what he did ????. If I were her I would smash his triflin'ass face into the ground because his so full of it. All I really like about her is her perseverance when she commit and admit to her own mistakes but the rest, she sucks.Ella she is a clingy bitch you won't have to be around and very sensual towards Na. Fahsai being a snake friend towards Sandee. I am really annoyed when she is being plastic talking to Sandee and she deserves to be dumped by Thada for sure. First a triflin'ass motherfucker in the series, you could tell because he keeps on dipping his hands in the cookie jar you know. He keeps a set of treachery inside of his sleeves and he is the worst one too, being too demanding to fence Sanrak from Na when it is him roaming free sleeping with other nasty bitches in his place. May is extremely unpleasant because it seems like she's a mentally ill clingy brat towards Thada. There is one particular scene where she pushed Sandee unexpectedly.
Any of these characters, except Sanrak, were not making sense in the flow of the story. Sanrak could have been a better character but, like the rest of the characters do not show development throughout the series and it is shameful to say that. The storyline began to be absurd and PeteKao and the gang alone were really there just to keep my chin up after enduring every stressful scene of each episode.
I found myself skipping
THIS
and
THAT
but completely calm when PeteKao and the gang take over.
Music's good, cast/characters is subpar, storyline, eehhh could have been better. Is it rewatchable, no, neither stood a chance of analyzing the storyline (I'm just really into PeteKao here, I might be bias but even though you're not into this two, the series is really full of shitty characters except PeteKao, Sandee and Khun Jane).
This is the worst series I've watched, next to Gen Y honestly, don't try to argue with me.

"THIS IS THE BAG!!!!!!!!!" "BELLISIMO PER-PER-PERFECT!!!!!!"
The story is well-defined and the cast really did that! For such an amazing series being done during lockdown, this is gorgeous. I was really eager to watch this when I saw this on YouTube. This series is one of the best out there. Being an amazing god-tier Filipino series, it really ties closely with Gaya Sa Pelikula. It really takes no steamy scenes just to get your viewers to love a series, it's just the story, the cast and the feelings you want to invest to your viewers. What can I say to this exceptional series? While being constricted by this lockdown set-up with just a screen they could keep each other in touch, they really elaborate certain issues that each of us are really dealing with. They showcased issues regarding LDR, "fear of coming out" thing, relationship struggles, third wheels and everything in between. They really paved the way to appreciate the people around you and the ones who care the most. The way the story flows is beautiful and the cast is not problematic but adds a lot to the series more. They really carried the series the way most of us love. The first outdoor scene of the main leads together in the series is far iconic and remarkable and Pearl being a supporting character really gives much comic relief and a really "good time" that's why she really deserves praise from us. Overall, this series, together with Gaya Sa Pelikula really stood out to me among other Filipino BL out there.Was this review helpful to you?
