Mostly Fun

I love these variety shows where you get to know the celebrities and their real personalities, not just what their agencies want you to see.

All of these celebrities were very nice people deep down. They played the game but didn’t hold any grudges. Laughed through the pain!

SeungGi - variety show master
HeeChul - hilarious
BoAh - beautiful yet calculating
NaRae - smart but annoying
JiWon - Mr Cool
Kai - cute and sweet

Most of the games were fun. The real estate purchases stretched into two episodes and got really boring. Fast forwarded through this.

The island was just beautiful and it must have been a great place to spend a week.

The ending was really weird how they left separately and the whole ATM thing. Also left NaRae on the island and a strange person watching through the cameras. Maybe NaRae stays for another season? Hope not.

Enjoyable

This series was enjoyable although a little boring at times. The first few episodes were all the same with Gaku being assigned a dish and then struggling with it until he had an epiphany using math. The math calculations got old and confusing.

Loved the whole kitchen crew and how they worked together so well. Kai and Gaku are just beautiful human beings and were a pleasure to watch. But too bad the writers had to throw in a mental breakdown (so to speak) for sweet Gaku. He would have never acted like that. And (no spoilers) too sad what happened with Kai.

Overall, I liked this but was just a little too complex with all the flavor and dish harmony talk. I got the gist but I had to work too hard for it.

Lost hours and brain cells

This was terrible. The characters were awful. These writers have a warped sense of what the viewers like.

After Nine and Daonuea’s first time together on a trip, Nine did not call or text Daonuea and resumed his relationship with his psycho girlfriend. After months of waiting, Daonuea moved on. When they met up again, Nine thought it was ok to force himself onto Daonuea even though they both had someone else. Just awful.

Nine is NOT at all attractive to me. So it was a struggle for me to watch his scenes. He reminds me too much of Skeletor.

Daonuea annoyed me to death. He was such a spoiled brat. I think he was trying to act cute but failed big time. I just ended up hating him.

Tee is 100 times better looking than any other guy in the series and very sweet. I felt so bad for him. But the scene with Oab was fire! But, as per the norm with this series, the writers screwed that up too.

Believe it or not, this low rated series had some great music. The female (LVLY) and male (Sture Zetterberg) singers during the ending credits of each episode were amazing.

The English subtitles were pretty bad. A lot were missing in the special episode.

If you’re curious, watch it. If you want to just check it off your list, watch it. If you want to hate yourself after you finish it, watch it. If you’re looking for a series you will enjoy, don’t watch it.

It was cute

This was cute but very low budget. The story was confusing, the editing was bad, and I had no idea who was related to whom. They called each other mom, dad, darling, etc. I had no idea about some of them.

The actors were cute and they made it worth the watch. There were some pretty decent love making scenes. But plainly showing the boxers in the bathtub killed the imagination. I’d say there was good chemistry.

What happened to Pao that he missed the entire concert? If he had diarrhea the entire concert and dinner afterwards, he should have been taken to the hospital.

Not much else to say. Quick watch and I enjoyed it even though it had no substance.

Not good but not horrible

This series has a lot of bad reviews. There are several reasons and I agree with most. But overall, this was cute. You just have to ignore the bad acting, the cringey dialogue, the horrible editing, and chopped up story.

I didn’t really see any chemistry between the leads. Maybe in one scene. This is my opinion but Dino was not a good kisser. It was like he was chewing on Rak. Plus the tongue was just gross. I didn’t see any passion.

Story was choppy. It had more drama in the beginning with the attempted rape and the cutting which was shocking. But that ended quickly. Never figured out who Sim was. Why include him? And Tart was obviously there to add drama and it didn’t work. He was too likable. Suea turned out to be the wise one, believe it or not.

Overall, bad, but I’m glad I watched it. If you look past everything and watch it for entertainment, it was actually pretty cute.

I thought this was pretty good

First of all, I thought the concept was very good and interesting. The problem was the script. Some parts were unnecessary, some parts were slow, and some parts were just plain stupid. Also, some of the dialogue had me rolling my eyes. But, on top of all this, I still liked it.

I loved most of the actors and I thought they did a decent job. The lead couple did very well, especially Mon. He’s adorable and can act. Thames was cute but his acting was hit and miss. The rest of the cast didn’t really stand out except for Mr. House Spirit and Grandma. Loved those two.

One of the scenes that had me rolling my eyes was the capture of Thanit. He was surrounded by henchmen WITH GUNS but after Thanit shot Ai they just stood there and let Mon take the next bullet. Worthless.

The romance was very sweet. Some may score this low because of no shirtless scenes or passionate love making but, for this series, it worked without it. It actually made them seem closer emotionally and that made it seem more real.

Even though the budget was low and the pacing was a little slow, the story is good and very much worth watching. IMO

Good but confusing

This was really good but I spent too much time trying to figure out who was who. Beautiful love story and it turned into two. So happy with the ending.

I’m a huge Ahn Hyo Seop fan. Loved him in Business Proposal (my first K-drama ever) and also Dr Romantic 2 & 3. That guy never disappoints!

Kang Hoon was just the sweetest and cutest guy and his story was heartbreaking. Will look for more series with him.

Jeon Yeo-been did a fantastic job in the dual roles. So much so that I had to look it up to make that was her. Very talented.

I would recommend this series if you like time travel but don’t try to figure it out logically. That nearly made me crazy and literally kept me up one night.

Would love to see Ahn Hyo Seop and Rowoon together again! ❤️❤️❤️

Not what I was expecting

I hope this isn’t going to be the norm for GMMTV BL series now. Too mature. I love my sweet, cute, funny GMM actors. There was very little of that. The storylines for each couple was dark and intense. Lots of backstabbing and lies. Focused mainly on addiction. Alcoholism, Drug use, and Sex addiction. Some of it was resolved, some not. My heart broke for Nick and I was disappointed there was no happy ending for him. Hopefully he got together with his coworker. He seemed nice. I’m sure lots of people like this but I was too upset the whole time to enjoy it.

Great Story - Just too Short

I love supernatural stories and this one was very interesting. I was hooked from the first episode. Both lead actors did a great job convincing me of the story. The death scenes were so well done and had me crying both times. Denis was also amazing. He played the part perfectly.

I only wish it could have been longer. 10 episodes are okay but 10 minutes each (minus opening and closing)? Really? That is shorter than a typical movie.

You really had to fill in the details of the story but at the end I had it figured out. I just wanted to see it acted out. Plus, I would have liked to have seen more of why Denis was such a mess. I felt bad for him.

I enjoyed this. I have less tissues now. Watch it. Just know that it is short.

Loved the location

First off,I loved the location for this drama… beautiful scenery, fresh and green. Plus there was a dog!

Do Won is a new actor to me and totally stole my heart. What a beautiful face and smile.

I know this probably followed the book, but I did not like Yechan’s childlike character at all. My gosh, he’s a totally handsome man but his pouting and whining ruined it for me. So, for me, there was really no chemistry at all. If they had had Yechan act like the hot man that he is, I can’t imagine how good this would have been. The best look goes to Yul for the look he gives Yechan after kissing him. I almost melted.

Not sure why this was called Love Tractor. It was not really in the series much. Would have made sense it they rode in the tractor together at some point.

What a disappointment

Absolutely watched this solely for BounPrem. After their spectacular acting in Between Us, this story did them dirty. I only watched to the end (fighting sleep) because of BP and the scenery. It really was filmed in a beautiful location! The younger cast all did a great job but the older gentlemen were just ridiculous. They were advised to act like clowns? And, I’m not really sure you can call this a BL. It was all too forced in the last episode. If BounPrem were not already an established couple, I would never have believed how they went from squabbling one minute to in bed together the next. Stupid story. Guess they didn’t have time with only 6 episodes. Hated his orange hair and black eyebrows. Prem is too cute for that.

Lived up to the hype

I hadn’t watched this because (1) I was not a IQIYI subscriber but I finally broke down and subscribed yesterday and (2) I am not a Mile fan but I have read that he is one of the nicest guys out there.

I just finished the series ( in 2 days - because I had to work today haha). Let me tell you, it was fantastic. Mafia themes are my favorite. Manner of Death and HIStory 3 are other favorites.

The acting was superb. I never expected this to bring out so many different emotions . Apo wins the prize for gorgeous, sexy, fit, and hilarious. Some parts were funny, while other parts were very intense. The twists and turns keep coming until the very end. Not one boring part anywhere.

The BibleBuild story was over the top like nothing I have ever seen before. Incredible.

Overall, it was great and I would watch this again.

Took me forever to finish this

It started out good. But it just got boring from there. I really liked the actors and I am a big fan of E’last so I was really excited to see them performing and Wonjun in his first acting role.

But, the whole thing just got confusing and left me with so many questions. I think there was lost potential here. Why have a failed idol group that slowly starts to succeed but never show any of their performances? The best part about the show was Yeon Woo in his competitions. At least we got to see some performances. And what the heck happened to the blonde haired kid? He just disappeared.

it wasn’t horrible but I wouldn’t watch it again.

interesting yet confusing…

This was very short. Like others, I watched Jeff and Gameplay in Ingredients first. Love them together! Ingredients actually aired after HE SHE IT. It was so strange to hear the same song he wrote in Ingredients. Weird.

The story was pretty straightforward. Mike is with another guy but doesn’t think it’s acceptable so he also has a girlfriend. But which one does he love? He ends up fighting with Peem, his boyfriend, due to a misunderstanding. Before killing Peem (maybe), he tells him he doesn’t love him. But later, in a touching scene, he says he’s sorry and is devastated. So did he or didn’t he? Good acting all the way around.

Episode 3 was a nail biter as Peem comes back as a ghost for revenge.

Many questions are left unanswered:
1. Did Mike love Peem?
2. Did Peem know how to swim or not? (Was it murder or suicide?)
3. What happened in the first scene? Was Peem a ghost there? Everyone saw him. Was he supposed to be dead at this point?
4. Why was Mike choking and gasping after the kiss like he had been poisoned?

Well, even with lots of unanswered questions I still enjoyed it. The only scene that I thought the acting was bad was the breakup scene. Watch it for Jeff and Gameplay. Then go watch Ingredients. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
