SO GOOD that it's on my rewatch list!
KinnPorsche has set an entire NEXT LEVEL Standard for all the BL dramas out there. I mean, the visual is obvious, but it's not just that. Finally, we get a BL that is not engineer students or school setting. That alone is like a miracle, really. LOLTHE OST IS A BOMB! I don't speak Thai and yet it's the first Thai song that truly speaks and touches my heart!
Plus, I actually love the storyline of KP too. It has great mix of comedy, action and hot, damn hot scene.
The chemistry between the couple is SO good, they are my favorite Thai BL couple now!!
I really hope to see more BL dramas that are so daring and out of the norm like this. While the mafia story might not be "up to standard" for some of movie critics here, but as I've shared at beginning, as a BL lover, its a gem to find one that isn't about school setting, that actually is REALLY GOOD without it being weird either lol
Definitely enjoyed this show!

The last scene is just wow!
Oh my, the last scene is SO beautiful! This movie is beautifully done- gosh, this is one high quality BL, seriously.It's not as lighthearted as the poster seems to be, yet it's luckily not as dark as I thought it'd be
it somehow has deep dark theme underlying, yet it's not too heavy to watch. Yes, its emotional and all but beautiful
I really LOVE the scene that's being shown in the poster- one of the sweetest and cutest romantic scene!! So pure and innocent. Also, love the subtle way they say love to each other, such as the last scene
It's a really nice movie- with lots of little hints here and there. I love both actors, especially the one who played Su min. And I can't believe the other ML is the same guy who is in Fiery Priest!!!
Highly recommend this show!

More exciting than it looks!
It's surprisingly more exciting than it looks! I laughed in first 2 minutes- and thought its lighthearted comedy, which it is- but it's not boring. It actually pretty entertaining and exciting.I love the pacing. Sometimes, Kmovie tends to start off really slow, and this one has great pacing overall.
It's a lovely one where you want to simply relax and have a chill movie night, no need to overstress over plot while still enjoying some action

Carries depth!
As you might have guessed, this is no light watch at all. It can gets quite heavy but it is extremely thought provoking and touching towards the endI throughly enjoyed the show- especially the ending- the bromance definitely gave it an added touch- love the plot twist after plot twist
What I love the most is the part where Lee Je Hoon said "At least I can fail all I want"- something along that line. It's really DEEP. When we live in a society with freewill, one of our greatest fear is fear of failure and yet he was coming from a perspective where his whole life was dictacted as such that failure wasn't even an option coz he simply has no freeodom, not even to fail, let alone to dream.
That really makes us think about the little things we might take for granted, and to an extent, to give us the courage to live our life fully. Also the quote that Piano Bro gave him is amazing and I'm glad he got reminded of his quote himself.
I mean the show isn't anything new, it is a portrayal of escape- literally thats what the entire show is about and Lee Je Hoon delivered a stunning performance. The emotions portrayed throughout is really felt by audience- it wouldn't have been the same without him.

The emotions are on fire!
I don't really know how to rate this one, my emotions are so mixedOkay, lets say, logically, the movie is well-done but emotionally, it's not satisfying for me, lol.
The movie depicts exactly what it says, method acting. It shows how 2 MLs really show us what method acting looks like, leaving us unsure if what they have is real or unreal. I must say, I get totally immersed into it myself and totally think they are in love and want them to stay that way, which obviously is where I tripped myself up emotionally
Acting is SOOOO good for both actors, its definitely top notch KBL with quality acting, the emotions they express, especially by Seung Hoon. Their chemistry is sooo good and the kiss scene is hot af
The play itself is very dark and its quite hard for me to watch honestly, so I don't really enjoy this part, nor the ending
But then, again the movie is well done, its just not my liking as I prefer happy ending, So i'm rating logically, although ive such a mixed feelings. I so badly wanted them to be together. Oh well...its just, method :)

Don't skip it just because it's old
This might just be one of the best action thriller show- plot twist after plot twist! I really love how we have 4 (+1) main characters here with balanced screen time. This makes it really interesting when they introduce the story of each character and eventually show us how everything is linked- oh my, it makes me keep clicking the "next" button!The actors are ALL really great at acting- and boy, it's 1st time I watch Jo Dong Hyuk- he's hot af and our Hae Jin and veteran Dong Seok didn't disappoint as usual!
I skipped this show initially as it's from 2014, so I was afraid it might be slow paced, but not at all. Its plot, action, storyline, execution, acting, everything is on point. If any, it's probably so much better than the recent shows of similar genre that is often filled with violence with no real story
This one really gets you thinking yet bring you emotional ride with lots of lessons on repentment, forgiveness, love and family.
It's just SOOOO good- love it love it love it!

This is how you do BL special!
It makes me want S2 now! It's a lovely special where they actually write a damn plot for it, lmao. This is not those special where they go for a beach trip or they show you recap of the show. It's an actual movie plot that you can even watch on its ownI love how they keep the fantasy element in- it's more action focused than I expect, which is okay
I'm glad they gave us the hot kiss right upfront for fan service, otherwise I'd be disappointed if there's none
Damn, this couple did one of the best BL kissess- so hot and passionate, I want more. The only thing I wish for is longer or more NC scenes coz honestly, I'm here for the couple, lol
Other than that, it's pretty cool. I mean, it's rare to have such genre in BL, so I'm very appreciative of IDF for that.
Still, this fills my BL dose- especially since recent BL dramas seem to get worse, so I'm glad that IDF is making a decent one here!

Surprisingly good!
Our KBL is getting better! Really proud of this one!At beginning, it appears that the storyline is simple and somewhat shallow, but towards the end, boy, it delivers! It ends up to be pretty touching and meaningful. Of course, it's so cute and fluffy throughout.
I also love that there are two couples and I love the ending for both. I wish there's a spin-off for the other couple, just to see their progress!
I really enjoy this lighthearted, simple and sweet BL! It's pretty great given it's only 8 episodes. Not too draggy, but not too rush either. Actors are really good looking toO!

More suitable as a "rewatch" than as a "special" episode
Yes, I agree that they get lazy by doing recap with little new scenes, but I still love it lolWhy? Finally, someone piled up all romantic and NC scene into one and do a recap on it! This gives a very warm sweet flashback of their romantic journey. I really love it. Perhaps, this is more suitable for a "rewatch" when we miss the couple, without having to rewatch the entire series. In that sense, it might not be that "special" an episode
It's also quite nice to hear Wela's POV and how he feels. Also, I love seeing the throuple again. I wish they have given us new NC scenes after they are dating lol
Overall, if you're looking for something new or special, there is none. But, if you just love the couples and trhouple and don't mind watching them teasing, bickering, kissing and all, then it's a pretty sweet little watch

Love the wizardry!
I love the fantasy element of it, especially the wizardry. I miss watching show like this- very well doneNow, bear in mind, it's a 2009 production, so you can't expect it be 2024 standard when it comes to CGI or even the pacing. The old show tend to be slower in pacing than what we are used to
Despite that, I love storyline and it's also pretty funny here and there
Overall, I had a great time. It's perfect for when you want something different than the usual modern storyline

Man on pole? Bring it on!
It was really good and it fell flat towards the end.I love all the couples here. I wish there are more screentime for the supporting couples.
I'm not a fan of the nightclub business per se but I do really enjoy the performance by the hosts. I also love how there's BL shipping in the club, that part is really so funny
There are decent number of NCs, some are pretty good- I can feel that they want to eat each other up
The ending is pretty cool, I didn't expect they'd really go ahead with polygamy. I love how this show is pushing boundary in this sense. It's also giving us a different perspective of the host business
Although, I've a mixed feeling about this. While I'm supportive about showcasing their talent, I'm not sure if it's "right" to promote "accompanying clients" as a profession. After all, the clients do get touchy, it's not like they are having heart-to-heart talk. This is the only piece of the show that I'm not sure how to feel. But, at same time, this is just depiction of real life, and it's up to the viewers to make our own discretion
Overall, I enjoy the show- it's pretty wild and fun.

The Miracles of the Namiya General Store

Indeed, it's a miracle store!
It is a little slow and can be quite heavy to watch at some part, but because of its storyline, it makes me want to watch it and i'm glad i finish it. It's worth it.It's surprisingly easy to follow. Sometimes, fantasy show, especially one that involves "time slip" tends to get confusing, but not this one. It really is well executed and I really love each letter and its reply.
My favorite scene is when Namiya get to receive the letter from future. That's really touching that he gets to know he has lived a full, rich and meaningful life.
It's amazing how everything is inter-connected and how it ends in full circle. That last letter really wraps it up! Gist, it's SO good!!!

A Wonderful and Whimsical show
I love it, especially the night market scene. It's very magical, full of fantasy and whimsicalI love the little creatures most. It's funnier than I thought. It's also sweet with touching moments
I'm so glad I found this, it's a rare gem indeed. It's also a nice break from the typical drama
I'd recommend this for when you want a relaxed watch where you're being transported into magical land
Also, I love the concept of human and spirit living together, it's pretty creative!

My jaw hurts from smiling!
It got me screaming, hitting pillow and smiling ear to ear. It really is one sweet romance that makes your heart flutter! It also has its funny moments, especially everytime Neo appears! Love seeing this different side of himInitially, I dropped this show as I found it quite slow, but I picked it up again after I watched JimmySea in Last Twilight. I'm glad I gave it another chance. It's worth it in the end.
It might starts off a bit slow, but once it picks up, it gets really good.
While there are lots of fluffy moments, this show isn't shallow at all. It brings with it life lessons around love, friendship, work and life in general. It got us thinking about things we might not consider on daily life. What if you get to live another life in other Universe? Would you want to live the other person's life or go back to your Universe? Why?
The only thing that bugged me is the product placement. It's common to have them and I understand why, but this show must have overdone it a little much. It felt annoying after a while when the script is written just for the sake of PPL. Like, how many times must the MLs stop to brush their teeth in 1 series?! Or, cook noodles, or eat that choc pie? or drink tea?
Like, there is easily 4 PPL in one episode. If we cut out those "forcefully written" script, I think we'll end up with 10 episodes, which then probably the show could have been more compact and exciting, lol
Besides that, I enjoyed everything else.
I really love JimmySea chemistry. It really warms my heart just watching them teasing, bickering, and falling head over heels in love for each other.
The ending is also very satisfactory for me, it's not rush at all.
I found it worth watching overall. Give it a try and you might just like it!

LDW did it again!
I really love the casting! I gotta start with LDW 1st since he's why I even click watch hereI've seen him in lots of action, but boy...I've never thought that LDW as a mercenary is sth I needed to watch in my life. LDW wearing that vest, shooting and fighting, and talking with his deep voice, he is hot af! I'm glad they let him has those glorious scenes, because for the rest of the show, they make him look like an uncle who never sleep or bath, LOL.
At 1st when I see it's a high school girl, the image of the FL in Goblin came over and I got worried. Thanks God she is totally not anything like that! FL here is smart and strong, and really just cool to watch.
I also love Minhye. She is super badass with her action scenes and I find her really sexy too. Pasin, Honda and Brothers are all amazing casts too! Even the wicked robot is pretty cool, until it's not...lol
As for the show, it has pretty unique style of storytelling where it jumps timelines, but it's not confusing at all. It's just a little draggy in the middle when they are telling the story....But, i just skipped those parts then lol...
I'd love S2 just to have closure because im so curious over so many things. But, even without it, I personally am okay with the ending. Sometimes, we don't need to know every detail, just the overall would do.
I really enjoyed the show, kept me on edge for most part. As usual, LDW totally nails it!!
