What..
In the end the only ones that end up likeable to me are Jin, BBomb, Bbomb's mom and Ball. I can't decide if i like Jin and Bbomb together tho considering everything (being vague on purpose.) The acting was good, love the ost and the songs within the series.The story overall was just terrible what the source material is, not too surprising that it's a mess, it can be hit or miss and it was miss for me. The way many characters didnt get closure and the suposed 12 turn to 10 eps has me confused. Wouldn't really rewatch it unless I have nothing else to watch really. Give it a watch if you miss Kaownah and Turbo, Bhudis also Boss. Would love to see Jom and Noh in something else tho.

Episide 1 I couldn't contain the smile on my face, Yan Fei was so happy to have HaiQing back and they were very much in love. Episode 2-3 the domesticness of them together had my heart so happy. You can see how much Yan Fei cares for HaiQing. Their jounary to find eachother might've not been the best but that's reality, you can't help what you feel. Ep 4 of the mini special season left me...well I won't say much else, you have to watch it to see. Though it was just the two of them, I appreciated the mention of Jimmy and Yan Fei's mom even if it didn't go into detail. All things considered; I would watch again for the fluff.

Fluff and cuteness.
I really don't have much to complain about with this drama besides the fact that the power isn't exactly explained except that one has be 30 and a virgin to get it, it's one of the most wholesome and endearing BLs I've seen. The humor, the chemistry, the fluff; I loved it all. Kurosawa; best boyfriend, husband material really and Adachi is a clumsy, lovable mess. The side couple were cute as well. It made me cry from cuteness and other certain moments that I won't spoil.I related to characters with their self-doubts as well as with Adachi's and TSuge's anxiety of fitting into crowds they are not used to.
The Ost is *chefs kiss* Only skipped twice cause I binged and wanted to get to the episode quickly haha. So give it a shot if wholesome fluff and cute is your thing.

LeoFiat the series ♡
As far as i'm concerned, I loved it. Loved watching Leo and Fiat spend their time together before going off into the working world where they might not have enough time for eachother. Also loved the communicating that was going on regarding Fiat's boundaries and Leo's issues with feeling possesive. The intimate scene was nothing short of passionate and intense as per usual with them and I loved it. I'm gonna miss them so much. The friends had me dying of laughter especially Nam and Tho, they hold a special place in my heart too. Also Fiat and Leon's relationship was sweet and hilarious, gonna miss their bickering. Now for Leon and Pob the way things concluded, I feel maybe a spin off may be in the future, who knows but James and Smart were amazing with their roles and did their jobs well as the second couple in Leo and Fiat's story. Maybe Mame doesn't intend to do a spin off and that's just life, doesn't always go how you want. I gotta say though Leon really could've done alot more to keep the relationship together as he's the one that pursued Pob in the first place...like really couldn't remember the password? Request a new password? Or I don't know insist that he wouldn't resent Pob if he had gone with him? Idk, I'm used to not every couple getting their ending (*cough* SeoKlui*cough*) loved the Special either way and can't wait to see what everyone has to give in the future.Was this review helpful to you?

Missing them already
The second season turned out just as great as first season. The angst was heart wrenching on both the main couple and side couple but the make up was worth the pain. Not much was seen from Richard and Evan's characters but from what we got it, I loved. A complain I have is that production cut an important part of a scene from some reason, it doesn't ruin it for me but I'll have to live with knowing they cut it out LOL. Everyone did an amazing job of course in portraying their characters as before, if not better. Love the cast, they are amazing and the support they give one another that can be seen behind the scenes, I love.The soundtrack is full of songs that I instantly added to my playlist to stream nonstop. Though I did miss the "Will you be my love?" Ost.
Overall; This season just as the first season is an instant rebinge. We Best Love definitely makes it to my top 5.

Homophobics and the heir obsessed prejudice
Just finished the last episode and what a mess that was; I don't buy the plottwist about Tonhon always loving Chon since childhood with the way he acted throughout the series. Also the message that it sends about women; How Tonhon's dad spoke to the daughter and telling her to focus on making him grandchildren..didn't sit right with me and how he looked down on Miriam for being a call girl at one point. The only ones I could truly stand were Chon most of the time, Pang, Miriam, AiNi and Na. By the end I was over Amp gold digging, self absored ways and didn't care what happened to the father who apparently knew about Tonhon anyways but yet had such a visceral reaction. Hell I was even enjoying Chon giving Tonhon a hard time and calling him out on his ego satisfying. I only cared if Na was going to end up happy or not.As far as actors go they all did great, they have no fault for the terrible writing. I very much enjoyed the friendship side of it.
Soundtrack is great also.

Mr. Jung and his Jiwoo...
The cutest, informative, intriguing and sexiest K-Movie I've ever seen. I loved it. The male lead as Jihoo was adorable and very hot especially when he would handle the misogynistic boss of theirs and coworkers. Reading his bio, I came to realize that he was in a group I used to listen to, it's no wonder since he's so handsome, I spent a lot of the movie going "Gah he's so cute". Since I enjoyed his acting, i'm definitely checking out his other stuff. Gorgeous female lead; The way she portrayed Jiwoo was how I imagine a inexperience person would be like in that lifestyle. Seeing Jiwoo gain confidence in her role as his master had me excited for her haha. Though, I admit I found some things odd but it was just a personal preference thing, I spent 99% of the movie intriguied and giggling. The ex annoyed me though; She dumps him for who he is instead of trying to understand him then tries coming around to make sure his life is in ruins just cause she is miserable? Hated her. Han was a surprise and that's all I'll say about him. Wish we had more on Hye Mi and Woo Hyuk but I get with movies things have to develop quickly. Anyways, I loved it and would rewatch it again when I don't know what to watch.Was this review helpful to you?

Let people love who they love, be it man, woman...or elephant xD
Skip this review if you don't want spoilers and are easily swayed by other's opinions. Just know I recommend it 100%. You won't regret watching it.As the iconic Namgung said " I don't understand why everyone's so interested in other people's business. Whether they're dating men, women or elephants. What does it matter to you? Stop taking interest in other people's dating lives and live your own. Please."
That quote really encapsulates this series pretty well.
Now to talk about my #1 best boy; Shin Daon. My sweet boy went through so much and gave so much of himself, I was so proud of how his journey progressed. No matter what anyone says, no one can force you to be ready to come to terms with something that you're not ready to deal with but your ownself. Daon's journey didn't relie on whether Shinwoo liked Tae and was waiting or whether Tae was willing to wait for Daon to be ready, time waits for no one. He had things to lose to think about, being the beloved President, if he put himself first and came out about his feelings, though we didn't get to see his parents like they made it a big deal about his parents being the chairmen of the school but no word to them about the rumors? They didn't even really bring back up what Daon told Tae that one night about his mom. Also, him shutting out, Tae to me wasn't selfish, they had only known eachother for a short amount of time personally and it's not like he could've texted, if I remember right, Tae's phone was broken at the time and meeting him in person wasn't an option as it would've created more rumors, which with Daon's personality and closeted self, is what concerned him. Anyways, I related to him so much through this series with myself being closeted, well partially closeted as now and a people pleaser. Him being a giver and people taking and taking without considering his feelings, he had to learn to set his boundaries, as did I. Daon became my comfort character and to quote the iconic Namgung again "If it's someone who truly cares for you, that person will like you and respect you regardless of what you do." I'm glad he eventually learned that and his character development was just chef kiss, I was so proud to see his growth and be able to speak his feelings carefree whether they were returned or not. Highkey shipped Namgung with Daon the last couple episodes especially after "If that's not the case, set them aside, you have me." My other best boy, Namgung.
Speaking of Namgung we didn't get to know much about him but we do know he was there when needed and put people in their place when they needed to be. His one flaw would be his heart was so big...too big especially towards someone that in my opinion didn't deserve it and no one can convince me otherwise. Anyways nosy best boy, Namgung made the stress less stressful and to give a push when needed I love him for that. If a second season were to happen, i'd like more on everyone's backstory but especially Namgung's.
Shinwoo my boy... what to say, if you didn't shoot yourself in the foot in the beginning like you did, you would've had what you wanted, so really i'm not understanding why that was a moment that happened but I'll convince myself that it was his evil twin cause that made no sense to me. I'm glad he understood what needed to happen between Daon and Taekyung whether the fans watching did or not. Since they were dead set on hating Daon. I'm glad the captain of his team had some brains at least, okay sorry for the bitterness, was just tired of Daon slander. Now... what will forever haunt me though Shinwoo confessed, now he didn't say he liked Tae directly but he did say so much more in front of the phone repair shop and it's glossed over like it didn't happen. That will bug me especially with being Team Daon since Daon had called Tae and that was never mentioned either. I'm glad towards the end they made him out to be less than this perfect, shy, can't express himself well character by showing his own red flag of getting easily jealous, it gave him more character. I wish we could've seen a flashback or something to his own coming out experience and how he dealt with liking a boy that people critized him for, to the point of shuting down his heart. Would've liked to know what the boy's response was to his feelings. Anyways, do I wish he had spoken up about his feelings to Tae instead of trying to force Daon to speak about his and leaving it to chance that Tae sees the texts? Yes cause what if he hadn't? Glad he let Tae respond on his own time to his feelings unlike the ones who say "Daon had his time, it's Shinwoo's time, he has been waiting." Making it sound like he was only being nice and there for Tae when he needed him, just to get in his pants. Reality is no one is owed a response right away if they're not sure.
Tae...Tae is sort of an anigma to me. Can I be sure of his feelings for anyone? Not really. He seemed to latch on to someone so quick if they make him a priority or are nice to him. Don't get me wrong I liked him for majority of the series and I was rooting for his happiness, which for majority of the series seemed to be Daon but was it? He tortured himself over him but did he really care about Daon in the way Daon cared about him? I have to wonder really cause he didn't really try to see things through Daon's pov, it highkey annoyed me when he would walk away when it didn't go his way, even when Daon tried to do what he could to express his sincere regret in shutting him out but I guess it fits with his honest, don't give a fxck attitude. From the very first episode he shuts down idiots in the school from gossiping about him and if I'm being honest, the students seemed scared of Tae hahaha, probably why they didn't seem to care if the loner who joined the Student Council was gay or not, to have an ounce of his confidence would be a dream. Seriously tho back to him and Daon, we didn't even get a final talk between them about their feelings before we see them cool and buddies like nothing happened. I feel Tae was just used as a plot device for Daon's coming out journey. I wish we could've seen how him and Daon went on to be back to normal and more on how his feelings became true for Shinwoo in such a short of amount of time cause Shinwoo deserves real love. In conclusion; Tae, my confident anigma you gave me stress but I care♡.
Sohee.. girlie was obsessed with my boy, Daon not in love, obsessed and it showed when she could smell his scent on Tae, like girl calm down and take some pride in yourself. Three years child? No man is worth lowering yourself lower than dirt to get rid of the one you percieved to be competition. To then to befriend said competition as if you didn't try to put a wedge between him and your crush by doing what you did, putting your crush in a difficult situation in the process? Fake and selfish.
Stress and plotholes aside, I very much enjoyed this show, doesn't beat out my #1 fave Korean BL; To My Star but it definitely left an impact on me that I already miss it and want to binge it over. Everyone on the cast played their roles well, I applaud them for being one of the best cast, especially Chan Yi and Woojin, seeing the behind the scenes makes me want to be their friend. Though I feel the slander got so bad to the point that Koktv either purposely or by accident didn't release Chan Yi's photo set like they did for the rest of the main cast and that saddens me. There are people that always take it too far over a show. Remember they are just acting people, no need to bring your hate towards the character to the real person behind the character. Unrelated but Ost is a bop, A.C.E came through with that one. The angelic, pretty music though is now a trigger lmao. I recommend this series to anyone 100 out of 100.

TongrakMahasumut...
First i'd like to say the actresses all did a great job especially little Meena but my patience wore thin with the GL part of this story; The assistant, Mook came off as whiny and annoying and Vie annoyed me to with not telling her how she felt instead of bossing her around in disguise for wanting her around. I kept wanting to go back to the boys and in the end anyways nothing really happened with the girls? Idk I guess the Special that I have yet to see will show something but for how long the finale was, something should've happened.Anyways onto my babies...
Tongrak poor baby, I wanted to hug him and hold him and tell him everything would be alright up till the finale; where I wanted to knock his head a little. Peat did such a great job with the sassiness of the character, which is it to be expected he is our Sky after all. Also really felt the pain and panic within Tongrak as well. He allowed me to relate with the character with his feelings of dread, of not wanting to be hurt, of just wanting to be loved and I know people aren't a fan of Peat's crying but it really tugged at my heart strings. The drama with his Disney villain dad ended a little too quickly in my opinion, I wanted to dig in more to what happened with the uncle and also the drama with the annoying jealous cousin I could've done without; Though I did enjoy that scene in the dressing room.
Mahasumut... as their names together suggests, I in fact did and do love him and not just because Fort played him, though I can't think of anyone more perfect for the role. His persistent, goofy and loving nature, I loved it all. I do wish we dug more into his trauma like a flashback or something like we did for Tongrak but even still i related heavy with him and his need to prove himself that he could make something of himself, especially at such a young age. As Fort does, he tore at my heart with his tears once again so my heart was feeling heavy for Mut at parts and I loved it. Also his relationship with Meena made me wish we'd seen more scenes with her and Tongrak doing family stuff.
TongrakMahasumut...the chemistry...had me squealing like a little school girl. ( I became Meena whenever they were together xD) As to be expected with FortPeat though, they never disappoint me with their chemistry on and off camera. In the intimacy aspect, they really turned up their game; had me blushing so bad from their scenes that I felt like I was totally interrupting something or shouldn't have been watching.
Rewatchability? Overall, despite the lackluster side GL story and annoying subplot with the cousin; I'd rewatch it, mainly for FortPeat.

For The Rest Of My Life; Never Forgetting This Series.
100% Recommend, you'll get a great laugh, smile and flustered all at once. I loved it so much.PayuRain- Their relationship is honestly so sweet, caring and beneficial to Rain, who else better to keep Rain in line about his studies and life besides his bestie Sky?None other than his man, Payu. His reward? Payu in costumes to satisfy his cosplay kink. Though their communication was a bit rocky, I get they needed drama but still liked their moments together. The "daddy" scene had me blushing honestly, bless Boss and Noeul's chemistry.
PrapaiSky- Now... these two omg. The tension, the chemistry and their storyline in general; Everything was just amazing. I loved seeing Sky's confidence grow in the relationship; Him being able to confront Pai's past fling and stake his claim this time around was one of my favorite things. Sky truly is the world to Pai and it shows with how he lets Sky lead the relationship how he wants it to go, Pai is simply putty in Sky's hands and he couldn't be happier being just that; I mean seriously the bathtub scene? Come on. Also the beach scene? Pai found more purpose to life than just hooking up and working in Sky while Sky found love, patience and safety in Pai. I love them so much.
RainSky- Their friendship is just something else LMAO but I love it.
PayuPai- Wish we got more of their friendship honestly but from what we got, they're obviously just as ride or die for eachother.
Negatives-
Sound- Horrid at times, don't know what happened to the sound team honestly but they did have great choices for BGM at times.
Natsu, Leo and The Twins- Wish we saw more of them since they were brought in for a reason.
Pakin- Who is he? I would've loved to have seen who he was and honestly wouldn't have minded another race scene but oh well.
The family dynamic- I was missing more of that, wish we had gotten it.
Overall I loved the special and the series as a whole even with its flaws. It holds a place my heart forever and I have mainly the cast to thank for the amazing journey they took me on with these characters, I'll never forget it.

The journey on the ride of their life...
Took my time to watch the finale cause I didn't want it to end. This drama was so sweet and fluffy. I loved it. It's not perfect tho but most of the issues I have could be fixed with more episodes; That being said, ToyBoss were an interesting couple but lost me within ep 8-9, they managed to make me like the confession scene for them tho, props to Yoon and Best cause it was really cute and heartwarming. I wish we got to know why exactly Boss is scared of loud noises and more time to show Boss going more outside of his comfort zone. Mayom and Deer's relationship left me feeling eh cause I feel everything Mayom did, he should've been doing it for himself and not just for Deer and Deer should've been up front instead of playing the jealousy game but whatever makes him happy. I at least enjoyed Deer's friendship with Tawan regarding her.Fern and Por...yea that's all I gotta say about them. Actually what did happen to Por after Tawan found out? I don't think it was mentioned where he went but I hope it's where the sun don't shine...
Mork's taxi bike friends were hilarious and supportive and I loved them up to the veery end ♡
I also loved gay uncles, best uncles Mork could ever ask for.
Also loved Tawan's sister and what I saw of his parents.
One other thing I wish happened was a scene with Khai, Tawan and Mork after the 4 year jump but oh well.
I'm gonna miss FlukeFame the most, their chemistry was everything. Just their stares alone made me feel things, hope to see them work together again one day but can't wait to follow what they do next.

Are you really in control?
I didn't expect to love this series as much as I did. The story was intriguing; Being able to fall in love with your favorite character and visit their world? Sign me up!And I'm aware of the Korean version, I'll have to watch that one at some point but when this one isn't fresh on my mind to not compare. I loved the acting, especially done by Gee Sutthirak; His acting as Akin was amazing, I enjoyed every second he was on screen, looking forward to watching more of his projects. Aom as Nisa also impressed me, tho I was more familiar with her acting as I've seen previous works of hers still she didn't disappoint. Her chemistry with Gee gave me butterflies and all the feels. Phukao and Meiko as Leo and Emily, loved them as well. By the end I was kind of shipping them and the relationship between Akin and Leo warmed my heart. Suam as Moo-han is another I grew fond of. He had me laughing a lot of the time. Honestly everyone did great from the script writers of the game and Nisa's dad down to michael and the small appearance of Mark by Talay( Who initally got me interested in starting it). The end left my jaw on the floor. Admitedly there where some things I was confused about but it didn't hinder my ability to enjoy it so I give it a 9/10 and a 10/10 recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
I crush on your eyes ♡
Loved the drama and the movie just made the experience better. I loved how they transitioned between what would've been a break between episodes. Hyunjun and Yoo Jun still gave me all the butterflies and kept me smiling from ear to ear. The friends of course had me smiling, would've been nice to see them a little more with extra scenes. I didn't give it a perfect 10 because like the drama, we don't have info on what happened with Yeon Woo's mom and it would've been great for them to also add extra scenes for it but I understand with Hyunjun not being apart of season 2 and all. The music was of course beautiful, I always have the soundtrack on repeat. These boys will always hold a special place in this story for me, I'll never get bored of it. I love it so much that I lowkey wish to live in such a world minus the dangerous part of it of course haha. Anyways, if you prefer not to have the break between the episodes and want it to all flow together nicely, I recommend watching the movie version over the drama version.Was this review helpful to you?
Surprisingly good
Okay for 2016, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The story towards the end had me at the edge of my seat from the plot twists, it also had me laughing at times. The chemistry between the main leads was great, I loved every second of them together. I've been looking for something set in a world of Fantasy and honestly it did not disappoint. I definitely reccomend it to anyone looking for BL mixed with the Supernatural/ Fantasy world. The ending leaves it to your imagination what happens next, so it's not a straightforward sad or happy ending, keep that in mind so you won't be disappointed.Was this review helpful to you?
