Everyone in this show has a God damn problem and I love it
Good god this was messed up but in a completely good way. The love interest was a devious little bastard man playing with the main character and I just couldn't get enough of it. It's obviously not meant to be healthy or seen as healthy. I think they could've done a little better conveying that but for this short of a series I think they did a pretty good job.Was this review helpful to you?
Horror movie in Erotica Clothing
Anyone walking in might be surprised to find that that this is more than just a gay erotic movie. This is so much more than that. This is a genuinely good horror movie disguised as an Erotic film and I think that fact will turn many people away. Which I think is a massive shame.It's a psychosexual thriller with solid acting, and an interesting storyline that I think is explored well. Even during the short runtime I was constantly glued to the screen, figuring out what's happening. Yes there are sex scenes but they're visceral and violent, obviously not meant to be gratifying but to add to the horrors the main characters are going through.
I recommend this for anyone willing to look past it's label of Pinku Film and see it for what it really is. A competent horror movie.

Comfort in a Show
I went in thinking I was gonna be bored. I was never a slice of life guy but my god. The writing in this was SOOO human and down to earth? It felt so genuine and gentle. Every episode was like a soft warm blanket around me, a plot that held you tightly and comforted you even through tears. An episode was an hour but I didn't even notice and usually I hate hour long episodes! Absolutely recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
This is a great show, what is it with you people??
Maybe I went in with my expectations too low because I saw the reviews and ratings. But I absolutely loved this and I don't understand why so many seemed to have an issue with this show. It was dark, it was funny, it was ridiculous and it was absolutely entertaining. The acting was amazing. Especially Charn. I loved that sleazy little bastard man with that slimy nasty grin that hides so much pain and suffering. He was unlikeable in a fun way that makes you go 'oh you magnificent bastard' and had fantastic chemistry with Tin and honestly every character. The side couple was also wonderful and had such a heartbreaking yet beautiful story. Ignore the haters and nay sayers, this is an underrated little treasure and deserves a much higher rating.Was it perfect? No. Did I have an amazing time watching this? Hell yes!!

Well it was what it was and I don't regret watching it
I don't even remember why this was in my plan to watch list but hey here I am. Now I don't think this is gonna win any awards. Didn't really break new ground either. It was its very own thing and just did what it had to do to drive the story. It felt a little cluttered at times but still somehow squished in all these storylines into six episodes. it was wholesome and healthy, a bit ridiculous but in a good way. It was a show about the life of teenagers going through teenage stuff and dealing with difficult feelings and it doesn't pretend to be anything different or grander.Was it fantastic? Nah. Was it an enjoyable sweet watch? Yeah I'd say so. I wasn't bored at any point and always wanted to keep going to see what happens next.
Recommended for if you need some down time or just something to put on and relax.

Expected Just a little more
It was run of the mill stuff I suppose. I was hoping for a more intense dynamic and such but it turned into an attempted wholesome romance which is a bit hard to do with an inherently toxic premise. I genuinely think if they had gotten more into the toxic relationship and how messed up this situation is, it would've worked much better. What I'm saying is this wasn't messed up enough and that's a problem. There shouldn't be a wholesome romantic thing going on, this relationship isn't designed for that.It should've leaned into thriller/psychological territory more. The acting was solid however and the spicy scenes hit good. I'll give them that.

Didn't expect to like this
I don't know how but I absolutely loved this?? I genuinely have no idea. By all accounts I should've found this boring as hell and should have been wishing for more, but it was sweet, fun, heartbreaking, the main characters had such good chemistry and they somehow managed to cram a story like that into short six episodes? I didn't leave feeling like there should be more, it was compact and the perfect length. I was completely satisfied with this experience!Was it ten/ten? No, but was it a very good experience? Absolutely!

I can't come up with a good title so this will do
Wow where do I even begin. I mean if you're looking for a sweet romance you're at the wrong address here. This isn't your typical BL to squee about handsome guys smooching where they get together in the end. This is an intense story about heartache and loss, about growing up, the folly of youth and motherhood, coming to terms with who you are as a person and trying to change someone who doesn't want to be changed. It's tender yet harsh, funny yet sad. There is a bittersweet aftertaste to it all and it leaves you thinking about yourself, your relationship with others and in general your place in the world. It took me ages to finish this series because you gotta be in the right frame of mind to watch it. You don't just go in all willy nilly. With the slow burn and quiet pacing this show is certainly one hell of a commitment, but a good one. Also the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous and I could just look at shots from the show and be happy. I recommend it but only if you're prepared to take this journey.Was this review helpful to you?
Y'all don't know her (this show) like I do
Listen I don't know what happened here. Maybe I watched a different show. Maybe I hallucinated a much better show than y'all watched. I LOVED this show so much like I was hooked. I had to force myself not to binge watch it. I loved the intense story, and the chemistry between the couple was top notch. Some people here called it a bromance, are y'all good? Like mentally? 'waaah the kissing looked off' almost like they're playing awkward teenagers grappling with their complex emotions or something and as their relationship develops so do the kisses. You know like a real relationship. This show gets overhated and I think it deserves a fair chance. Don't listen to the the haters or the rating they left, go in with an open mind and give it a fair chance anyway. Maybe you won't like what you see or maybe you'll find your next binge watch.TL;DR Dangerous Romance is fantastic you are all just mean.

Cozy and warm like chicken noodle soup
This show is like chicken noodle soup. It may look basic and uninteresting but if you sit down and take in those first moments you'll see that there's so much love poured into this that make each second of it unique. It's warm and comforting, charming in its simplicity. Yes there aren't any big stakes, big action scenes or a big story and no gimmick or concept. It doesn't need all that, the same way a chicken noodle soup doesn't need any fancy ingredients to be good. This is a show about the people in it and their lives. It's entertaining, it's filling and it leaves you satisfied.Was this review helpful to you?

Kicking my legs and giggling all the way!
Awe man I just finished this and I'm just so happy I invested my time in this. I usually hate shows that have hour long episodes but I looooooove shows that can make that hour go by fast and this show man god damn. Perfect. Everything just fell into place all the time. I was worried about some aspects like would they do the dumbass liar reveal trope thing? Which they did but they handled it well by having everyone react realistically: grieving the loss of Torfun.I was also worried about the slow burn aspect but hehehe it was so good!!! It was so worth the wait when they finally got together and smooched and the romance build up flowed organically.
Even the more out there aspects of the show fit in. The whole smuggling thing? Foreshadowed throughout the show and that's just an example. Some people might get annoyed at the product placement but I didn't mind them.
The soundtrack btw GOD DAMN WAS IT LOVELY. It was soothing and beautiful and damn it I just really liked this show. I cried, I laughed, I kicked my legs and giggled even though I'm a fully grown man. I'm kissing this show on the forehead happily.

More than a BL
Yes, more of this! Heartache and drama and a complete emotional rollercoaster! More series that grab me by the collar and shake me until my head hurts. This perfectly portrays a toxic relationship between two horrible people who need help and probably will never get it. I was enamoured with this show and I'm sad it's only six episodes. But damn what they managed in these six episodes was wonderful.Was this review helpful to you?
Ya like Jazz (for two)? Yes I made a Bee Movie joke. What of it?
Listen idk what kind of crack they put into this show that made me want to binge it entirely in one afternoon but I absolutely loved every second of it and idk why the people here seem to be so naggy about it. It was fun, heartbreaking and interesting and the soundtrack. God. THE SOUNDTRACK. I wanna rotate this soundtrack in my brain like in a microwave it was so beautiful. Basically don't listen to the negative comments they're wrong and I think this was a fine show.Or maybe I have low standards. Oh well!

This is a great show you guys are just mean
Listen. This show is a mess. A lot is happening all the time but god damn it was it a fun and emotional ride. Maybe it's because I grew up with Telenovelas but this show clicked with me immediately (aside from the annoying soundtrack). I loved the chaos, the random events plot. Sure it was cheesy at times, but god damn it that's why I have lactaid pills. It was fun and anyone who complains about it being too out there is allergic to fun and not invited to my cheese and crackers party!Was this review helpful to you?
If David Lynch made a BL, it would be this one
Damn this one was good. Like really really good. Who let David Lynch direct a BL?? Who knows! But I really loved this one and it deserves all the praise it gets! I did initially knock half a point down for the seemingly slow start but after that hurdle it was smooth sailing from there! I believe I'm not exaggerating with my 10/10 rating. This series is so good it made me get a subscription to a streaming service, I mean if that doesn't sell you idk what will.Was this review helpful to you?
