Samuel Society
Purgatory
If you have nothing better to do i guess sure
I don't feel like making a lengthy review on my thoughts on this cause honestly i just watched it on a spur of a moment feeling but i'll do a summary without spoiling anything.-its not well made to say the least, the acting isn't horrible but i wouldn't consider it that good either, the cast is cute but the story is lacking which makes it hard to catch any feels (i did follow the main actors on insta tho because i'm weak).
-The music just doesn't fit the mood most of the time and feels out of place.
-I get that you need ad things but this was to much, i don't usually pay it any mind but they were everywhere and not built in to
the story properly that it just felt like they were thrown in.
-The camera angles were not great. Not bad enough that most would care but it did get a bit annoying for me. and let's not talk about the mics they used that were picking up the sound from clothes moving etc.
Last but not least i understand that there is an ungoing pandemic and it seems the budget for this series was low so i won't give it a horrible final judgement but it is a shame cause the actors do have potential and it's sad to see a ship not fulfill it's destiny properly XD

special? episode 5?
first and foremost i have no clue as to why they would name this as a special episode when it is literally just a continuation of episode 4 meaning it would make more sense to just put it together with the rest of the show but then again i guess that is a way to gain more publicity, understandable but quite dumb if you ask me as now i feel like i'm writing a review of the ending.i am happy we at least got some kind of closure to the story but this could really use a season 2, though i doubt it will happen since it doesn't seem like this is that popular and if it was made by a bigger company and had the budget it might have been able to become a favorite but as i wrote in my review for the first one, it falls short on so many levels and that is quite sad as i do like the actors for this show and i do hope i see them in BL again in the future.
Needless to say if you have watched the previous 4 episodes do yourself a favor and watch this too :)
And to the company that made this; if you want to make a season 2 i will 100% watch it but please for the love of god make the episodes longer and make sure to not leave that many gaps in the story because this got me writing my own script in my head to try and fill in the blanks.

cute but low budget
honestly this was extremely cute but it falls short on so many levels that i have a hard time explaining why i gave it 7,5.the actors are adorable and well not way to bad, they are on no level good but since the series has a funny undertone i guess it didn't bother me all to much.
the biggest problem is the fact that this had such a low budget (i'm assuming) and it really does make the series take damage on a visual level. not to mention that the episodes are short and as much as i enjoyed it the story fell short since a lot of important information goes lost between the scenes.
the ending cliffhanger doesn't even feel planned it just felt like they ran out of screen time and energy and decided that was the way to quit it.
i will go watch the special episode now cause i've been told that it is a bit of an explanation to the end but i wanted to write this first.
if you're looking for a chill watching experience where you can laugh at some stupidity for about an hour then this is probably for you. if you want a detailed story and like when things make sense i'd say skip this one. although the actors are cute and it was somewhat fun to watch it doesn't really have much more than that, cute actors :/

good start but a bit anticlimactic
tbh i really really enjoyed the first few episodes but it got really repetitive and slow by the middle of it and the end was well yes happy ending and all but seriously it was so anti climactic that i was only half paying attention, especially the last few episodes. idk it felt like they realized halfway that it wouldn't be fun to just smooth it over so they added a problem that honestly had no damn reason to be in it at all. i get you were scarred from a previous relationship but the extra character did not need that much screen time. if you felt the need to have that problem there you should have made it a bigger problem. felt like a waste of time those last episodes.i cant really give it a bad review because i sincerely liked the actors even though the roles were weird and the story had a good base to it and it wasn't the typical bl storyline but and that's a big but, the rewatch value is solely based on the first few episodes that i actually looked forward to watching every week. the last 4 episodes or so i low key forgot to watch cause they just bored me.
one thin i have to say before i end this horrible review written in the middle of the night is that i really liked the soundtrack they chose to this, at times it was a bit odd when you actually listen to the lyrics but the vibe was there and the songs were quite pleasing.
if you are starting this series now i hope you enjoy it but don't get your expectations up to high cause i feel like that might have been my downfall.

my definition of a perfect BL
this was so beautiful and so carefully made to fit into reality and the struggles of gay relationships. the only problem was the little cliche of one of the mains thinking he was straight in the beginning. its an overused cliche but they worked it in so well that i didn't mind it.the casting was great i really loved all the characters and how they played their parts in the story, no unnecessary characters got involved, simple to understand and the feels in each episode got me almost screaming.
the music was beautiful and really fit with the scenes and i do have a soft spot for good OSTs it brings such good feeling to an already good story.
the ending was beautiful although i do wish there was a bit more information to as how the future would look for them but i cant complain, we got enough joy from just understanding the characters and there was still happiness in me by the end.
all in all a really great series and if we could get another season i would be overjoyed. i really recomend this to someone who wants and emotional series that wont make you depressed but in genereall feeling like you can relate to a character cause trust me there is at least one person you can relate to cause everyone has these kind of people in their lives or at least i hope so with my whole heart.

got my heart in a twist for 16 episodes
this series was really well made, cute, fluffy, angsty (but not in a bad way) the love triangle drama is something i usually avoid but they really made it work this time so i have no complaints about it. although my heart was twisting and turning in my chest the whole time and you really couldn't tell who the main couple was going to end up being, which is nice but also so murderous to my heart.superb casting, really the actors really fit with their characters both look and personality was so well matched and that's something i really enjoy cause it makes it feel so much more natural.
i do wish there was a bit more of a lovey dovey feeling, we got some in the end but there could have been a lil bit more gay in this series, not talking smut but u know those little moments that make all the Y-girls and boys squeel a bit.
half the time i felt like this could easily turn into a straight k-drama but luckily it didn't XD
Kang Yoo Seok (Shin Woo) is now on my top actors list cause holy fuck my feels for him in this role were beyond normal.
that's all i really have to say, if u haven't watched this yet and like the cute kind of BL i would 100% recommend u watch this because it really is a well made drama.
