Confused Feelings!
I've a mixed feelings! I really love them as a couple: the way they look at each other, the chemistry, the sexual tension and all. It's cute and fluffy and also hot af!It became clear their r/s isn't the healthiest one on episode 1, but I let it slip since I enjoy watching them. And, I did enjoyed for 1/2 of the show, until it just gets worse. It came to a point that I can't overlook the toxicity anymore.
The way ML is overly possesive and everything, I can't.
Even last episode is somewhat toxic, although the bed scene is kinda hot.
Oh well, as I said, I've a mixed feelings
All I could say, it could have been 10/10, if we take away the toxic behavior, which is what I don't understand what makes Yaoi writer thinks toxic is necessary.
But, I guess people do like it, hence they make it.
Whether you like this show or not would depend on how comfortable you are with toxic r/s. If you have high tolerance, the couple is actually very nice to watch, and you most likely would like it. Othwerise, you end up confused like me .LOL

Hot Lawyer in BL, sign me up!!
I'm SO happy to see a hot lawyer in BL drama, gosh. That alone is so refreshing!This is really high quality BL, not those where you feel its done by low budget or rookie vibe (althou they are great too)
It deserves to be mainstream really! Initially, I was worried that 8 episodes might mean sloppy drama, but its totally not true. Its actually SO well done.
Its compact with solid storyline, amazing plot twist, no filler, hence its not draggy. Every moment got you hooked!
Film's acting is SO good, one of the best BL actor I've seen. I can see the difference in his smile when he is being sly, sincere, playful or not.
I found a new couple to ship, Film Jam!! Gosh, they are my new favorite couple
The chemistry, sparks, and the flirting, gosh.
I love the super happy ending for everyone. I also love the other couple too.
Overall, we need more good shows like this one!!!

LongFrank deserves a second chance!
Is Day violent? Yes.Is Itt childish? Yes.
But, don't let episode 1 fool you. There's more to it. It's not as violent, or as toxic as episode 1 make it out to be!
While I don't support the relationship as the premise is set based on codependency, I do love them as a couple.
Their chemistry and acting is spot on. They genuinely love each other and you can feel it throughout the series.
There are lots of sweet moment. especially the way Day is so gentle towards Itt.
As you watch the series, you'll realize it gets less and less toxic, unlike most BL that starts out healthy and become toxic.
Overall, I'd say, Long Frank deserves a second chance, perhaps in another series with better storyline!

Worth every drop of your tears!
I hesitated to watch this because I've read about how sad this is. Now, it is indeed sad, BUT it's also very beautiful and touching!Most importantly, it's not like it's sad the whole time. There are loving and sweet moments too, just like any couples moments would have. The 1st few episodes are actually very heartwarming, until it starts to crack your heart open, and once the tears floodgate is open..its non stop for me LOL
I'm glad I watched this, it's so beautiful, especially the last scene.
This short story is so well made that it's better than lots of the longer BL series. The use of the monologue is really brilliant, it adds a lot of depth to the show! The lyrics of the OST made me wanna cry everytime it plays in intro, it really relays the emotions of the show!
Once again, JBL did it! There is sth about the order, sequence and timing of each scene that's just so perfectly executed, especially the last episode. It just hits home and gives you a feeling of completion
Like, yes, it's sad, but, I can accept this ending because it's explained well, and most importantly, expressed well by actors too
A must-watch!!

Surprisingly good
I was skeptical when I see it's Ch3 production as I've dropped their series way too many times. This turned out to be one where I absolutely LOVE it and changed my perspective on future Ch3 production, keep it up guys!!!First episode in and I found myself laughing a lot and smiling a lot. It was really entertaining, lighthearted, cute, fluffy and just so sweet, I died.
ML are really good together and boy, Junior is totally dazzling!! I especially love the simplicity of it, with no unnecessary over the top dramatic issue and/or toxicity in it
The last episode nails it! The song in the concert just wrap everything up. It's one of the best OST out there, every song represents their relationship so well, so it really hits home. I love the voice the singer too (I'm not sure if that's Junior or someone else) but beautiful voice!
Overall, it's a really nice Thai BL watch that I'd highly recommend
It might not have an outstanding storyline, but it really is very well executed in terms of how it makes you feel
My heart is so warm and I think my smile line has increased just by smiling throughout the sweetest last episode ever!

Love the ending!!!
I hate loose ends, so I'm really happy that this show has a real nice closure to the characters involved, including the "bad guy"I fell in love in 1st episode. It's kinda like Marvel Action Hero + Asian Treasure Hunt vibes. It's fusion...lol
I love it since it's different than the typical Kdramas. The story is really nice, many times I was surprised by the unexpected plot twist. There are moments that it got me LOL tooo...
I'm glad I gave this show a shot, esp since I am not familiar with both ML and FL. Now, I am in love w the ML!
The only reason I am not rating 10/10, its because there's something missing that I can't quite pinpoint. It's not boring, it's actually really exciting. I didn't skip any parts, so that I dont miss the important parts. But, somehow I just feel I could be more enteratined/engaged? Like, it could be faster or more intense? Perhaps, I am too used to the fast action show Hollywood provides
Beside that, I really think this show is very welldone!!!

It's more than art, it's life itself!
If you're worried that it's gonna be a boring art movie, then I'm here to share that it's not.It's more than art. This movie reflects life itself. There are lots of life lessons that we can draw from this movie.
It's beautiful, inspiring and touching.
It's also very therapeutic to watch the lines being drawn and healing to feel through the emotions the ML go through.
In fact, the ending is so satisfying, especially the last scene when we get to see the ML draw his strokes!
Overall, it's a very well-hidden Jap Gem that needs more exposure!

It's very dark & misleading somehow
When I started watching the show, it's very touching. While it's sad, it's touching with what Team Genie is doing. And then it went dark real quick. More than half of the show turned out to become a crimeshow thriller with recurring theme around suicide, abuse, etc. It suddenly became a really dark story about the casts.I just felt misled since that's not how the 1st few episodes are. I wouldn't have watched it if I know it's this dark. I am very disappointed. Although the acting is really top notch, I must say!

An All-rounder Movie!!!
Omg- Kim Woo Bin totally caught my heart on this one! It's one of his best performance so far!If you've watched way too many detective/prosecutor show like I do, then this would be something to your liking =but with a twist! Since it's about probation officer, it shows a side that's very important which are often neglected
It's full action-packed, with a touch of comedy- mainly because the main character is a funny guy.
He is like a small kid in a buffed body which matured into a matured man towards the end
I love the character development, the action, storyline and everything.
So many touching moments- especially the last scene. This is really a meaningful and exciting show!!
I also love the team spirit among the officers. It's really welldone. been a while since i watched such a great Kmovie! Thank you!

Super satisfied with the ending!
S3 please! Gosh, I really love the casts, especially Seung-heon! He is so charming and captivating- perfect for the role.I also love the new FL, Soo Min- one of those very pleasant FL, really enjoy having her as well as the new director
I love the expansion of the plot from S1 and most importantly, the story for S2 is very tightly wrapped up. Well done.
I really enjoy how all cases are linked to a bigger case which kept me watching till the end.
There isn't much loose end at all, really good plot, amazing execution and entertaining.
It also has lots of amazing cameo as happy surprise. One of crowd favourite (mine too) is Lee Soo Hyuk! My favourite villain here.
I really love it and can't wait for S3!

Best Fight Scenes!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the fight scenes as well as the Yokai's depiction.My favorite is Kurama, he is so pretty in both human and especially in Yokai's form. I love his gifts too
I'm not a big fan of ML because his fighting style just seems reckless to me. I much prefer Kurama, and even Hiei.
Overall, it's enjoyable to watch, esp the fight scenes. Also love seeing animation coming in 3d forms like this!
The story is normal but okay for a short drama like this. What bothers me the whole time is...Yukina has healing power, but the WHOLE time, she is watching and standing still...she could have like walked over to any of them and heal them, instead of waiting until everything is over? lol
Other than that, I find this a good watch. I won't mind a S2, but maybe different ML with similar spirit world concept or sth

FastFurious + Not Me + OmegaVerse
Everyone in X Hunter is cute & hot af! I really love this team and the racing scenes make it exciting to watch. It's really a fresh take on BL and I appreciate that.I know Way is supposed to be the "bad guy" & I don't agree on how he manipulated Babe, but really love Way. I can feel Way's love for Babe since episode 1. There's something about Way (probably it's Nut's acting skills) that just made me feel his sincerity towards Way. I love whatever "best friends" dynamics Babe Way has. It feels REAL, like I can feel they are close, tight bond and they love each other, although in a different way. For this reason, I really love Way and I cried so much in last episode
In contrast, BabeCharlie.... I feel Babe is dating a puppy or sth. The way charlie acts cute, to me, is more irritating than cute and don't even get me started on the papa/mama thingy, lol. Even then, I still don't dislike Charlie, until I see how he was hiding so much things from Babe!!! I especially felt betrayed when he absorbed Babe's power without Babe having a clue. That made him not much different than Way. BabeCharlie is my least shipped couple, seriously.
I came to know and love Pavel throught PitBabe. He has such a charming eye that would melt you everytime he stares at you, and he is a great actor too. I'd be curious to see him with another pairing, to see how it might work out.
Now, NC scenes are real good except that they seem to give us 89%...it was hot and then they would cut the scene like 10 seconds too early or sth! Ugh! But, the NC scenes for the 2nd couple is pretty dope though.
I'm totally having 2nd lead couple syndrome here. I am rooting for Uncle and Jeff the WHOLE TIME. I'm glad the focus shifts more towards them near the end to balance out the dynamics and pacing of the show. Also, am i the only one who thinks Uncle is so cute?!
I honestly feel this could have been a 10/10 show, even one i'd rewatch, if they had change charlie character, lol. I've nothing against the actor, it's the character itself that I'm talking about here
Overall, I'd still say I enjoy the show...Look, I'm at at point that I'd take any non-school BLs, so, to me, this is still cool

ML's character steals the show!
ML's character steals the show! His way of thinking is very unique, opening my own mind into many ways of seeing things in life, that I wouldn't have. For that alone, i find the show very stimulating and mind-blowinG!I also love the supporting characters. It feels good to watch a show when everyone is amazing, so I don't actually feel annoyed by one particular person, lol.
The storyline is very smooth, even when they jump scenes or timeline, it's not confusing at all. The timing, order and sequence are all very welldone
The 1st two episodes or so may feel a bit slow in the sense that it's not immediately action-packed. Nevertheless, it's very intriguing learning more about the ML. Once the storyline picks up, I can't wait to watch the rest.
Overall, I really enjoy the show and can't wait for S2!

A different kind of BL
If you've watched way too much Thai BL like me, you'll find this one really different and refreshing.I love the concept and it's beautiful to see how one can embrace the other despite the different personalities. It really shows what unconditional love can potentially look like
It's also funny each time Noah changes character, and I actually love both personalities
It's short yet enough storyline to watch, without being too dramatic or heavy.
Very well done for sth so short, I can imagine it'll be fully developed if its actually a longer series!

Funny, & touching and meaningful!
Don't let 1st episode fool you. Initially, I thought it's a bit goofy within first 5 mins, but boy, I'm glad I stayed on. It's touching and meaningful, yet funny.I wonder how this would be like as a BL, since the chemistry between the 2 MLs are amazing. However, at same time, I kinda glad that it's not. Bcoz, honestly while I love BL, i am a little bit feeling "intoxicated" by the unncessary drama or unhealthy relationship in BL, that I am so happy to watch a show like this one
It is healthy bromance yet there is some BL-ish element that still keep this BL fangirl happy.
In fact, I enjoy this than most of the BLs! I mean, not every male leads have to end up kissing with hot steamy scene, right? Sometimes, a real friendship or bromance like this one is what saves the show
Give it a shot, it's really worth it. I enjoy every moment and did not skip any scene!!!
