Check Out (2022)

I’m checking out

This show is not good. Episode 0 had everyone hyped for this series but unfortunately it has been a total let down. I am not opposed to the cheating particularly, especially as the ones being cheated aren’t great people either. It’s just a poor quality show.

I’ll start with good points

1) Chahub. He does not belong in this terrible show. He’s trying really hard to promote it on social media but I honestly think he should give up and hope everyone forgets about it.

2) Boat & Candy. Both cute side characters played by insanely good looking people.

I actually thought I’d have more good points to make but alas…

Bad points


1) Sound quality. I don’t know what is going on, but this series feels like it was shot during the pandemic without someone in charge of sound.

2) Zero chemistry. Nobody has any chemistry with anyone on screen. I feel like some of the actors are trying to create chemistry but failing.

3) Best. He is cute but he cannot act. In the special episode he seemed more believable but this series has proved to me again that he is at best, a side character. I’m sorry.

4) Set/Props. Why are we only seeing such limited filming locations? Why are the advertisements that this totally amazing company are doing so utterly awful?

5) Script/Direction. Unfortunately for Kapper, because of lack of chemistry with actors, you are left with only script etc to judge the show, and unfortunately we are left wanting.

6) The Heimlich scene. This could have been funny ha ha but it was funny weird.

Everyone is WRONG!!!

Before watching I read comments saying that it was a bad drama and that people should drop it or whatever but if I’m being honest the only part that was “bad” in my opinion was the first ep. I skipped majority of the first ep and just watched the last few minutes to lead me into ep2.

Everyone is also saying how the cheating is so bad and that they had to drop it but honestly thats them and this is me. I personally don’t care about the cheating mainly because I love drama and I can just tell with this we’re are gonna see some drama. So watch if you like good chemistry and drama as well as funny supporting characters. I recommend getting the free trial for iQIYI and watching the uncut versions. Good luck and happy watching!!!?

OH, No, No, No, Not Another Letdown!

Okay - The Good - The First two episodes weren't bad. That's It.

The Bad - Where to start? Sometimes I wonder if these actors are so hard up for work, they accept anything, as for me, I would rather collect garbage than act in this show, in fact, I'd almost rather collect garbage than watch the remaining episodes.

I am not going to watch them until the series ends.... and then I am going to check out the reviews and if they remain as they are now, I am not going to waste my time. As a bl fan who has seen everything that is out there and some more than once, I anticipate these new shows with the same excitement I would if I won the lottery! Alas, another one bites the dust.

All I can say is - fire the writers and start over... I know I can write a bl better than this one; in fact, pretty much anyone who had above an F in language class (English Comp for me) could write a better bl.

NINE - Sooo Bad Acting - Who could help it with a script that has the characters doing and saying nothing important.. Alas, us poor viewers who keep hoping for the best and keep getting the worst. Hang in there, maybe someday I will write a bl worth watching!! lol

Product Placements the series

I finally got around to finishing this series. I was so hyped after watching episode 0 but it kinda died down fast when the first episode started..

What was lacking;
The story was just all over the place, dialog stiff and unemotional, music missplaced, editting confusing. Overall it was a hot mess.
It felt more like a 12 episode long product placement, I wouldn't be surprised if the basis actually was "we have these products to showcase, lets throw some BL around it for more views!"

Daonuea's overdramatic reactions to everything didn't help, and whenever he accused Nine of overreacting I cackled like crazy!

What was good;
The actors, they did what they could with whatever they were given.
Boat and Candy are just the cutest duo, they could carry the comedy aspect of this show on their shoulders alone and make it work flawlessly.
Tee, I was not a fan of his character at the start but compared to all the others he is the only one that feels like a real person. His motives (mostly selfish) are believable and I'm just sad that Nine and Daonuea didn't get the same kind of growth.

The special episode with Tee and Ice gave me the kind of passionate chemistry I would have liked for the whole actual series! I would have loved to see that kind of energy between Nine and Daonuea!!

You would do fine just watching ep 0 and 12, maybe add ep 11 if you want some last act drama to fill it all out.
The rest of the episodes can be skipped, they add nothing to the overall story or character development.

watch this with no expectations and u will be happier

I'll try to summarize by topics:

- the plot of the story had a very similar potential of Love Mechanics, but the script honestly seems to have been poorly constructed and obviously we can't blame the actors for the characters. The story can often confuse you at the end of an episode and the beginning of another because some scenes are built with different dialogues of the same situation. the story unfolds slowly until ep 7 and from there unfortunately they get unnecessary problems to put in the main relationship. the "secondary" couple, for example, goes from 0 to 100 in the last 2 eps and even wins a special episode.

- i honestly feel bad that talented actors got their debuts in a bl that got so underrated and for small things, the main couple has a amazing chemistry and a shout out to the +18 scenes that delivered much more than promised.

the series as a whole is a good try to watch it, form your own opinion and realize that it's not the worst thing in the world if you just want to spend ur time :)

Under-appreciated show

A story about missed connections and second chances. How many chances do you give each other to get the love you deserve? Daonuea and Nine meet when they're each going through a low point, and they find a connection with each other.

They return to their normal lives and are not in touch for 3 months, when Nine shows up in Daonuea's life suddenly. Little by little, we peel a layer and find each person's truth. Their lives are messy. They're impulsive and insecure. It takes great courage to ask for what one needs because the fear of rejection is very real, and the fear that the trust will be broken again is ever-present.

Even with the slightly confusing editing style (which I got used to), I did enjoy this series. I applauded Daonuea and Nine every time they made the courageous choice and cried with them when courage failed them.

não é nada do que você queria realmente que fosse... poderia ter ficado somente com o ep 0

fiquei tão empolgado quando anunciaram que teria uma serie quando viram o sucesso que fez o pilot/ep 0, então criei altas expectativas pois esse episodio foi e é maravilhoso e deixou um gostinho de quero mais, pena que foi tudo estragado por essa serie que não soube esperar e fazer um roteiro/historia bem feita para lançar, quiseram fazer algo rapido e bem mediocre por causa do sucesso!

os atores são bons e não tem aquela estranheza mesmo nos momentos *hots* mas depois que eu vi que teria que pagar para ver as cenas hots me deixou mais bolado ainda com a serie e tive que dá uma pausa no ep 3 no lançamento pois estava totalmente intoxicado pela serie e por quem estava assistindo e reclamando e só nesse ano voltei a ver e consegui assistir de boa mesmo achando péssimo! a serie é confusa logo de cara e difícil se acostumar,
mas depois você só quer finalizar o mais rápido possível

eu não recomendaria, mas se quiser ver homens de cuecas então fique a vontade!

Don't watch it!

I just realized I watched all of this over a year ago. I forgot about it until I was reading the comments.
It was like get together or not, don't get the other person's hopes up. I was VERY irritated with the storyline. I didn't want to quit it, I had to see the ending. Idk why, I just did...
I'm glad I can't remember 99% of it. The only thing I remember is that they shouldn't get together cause it was toxic af.
It was garbage. Wasted my time
I couldn't do a 0.5 rating for story and rewatch value, has to be at least 1 star. I feel harsh giving it this rating but oh well ??

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.

My expectations were low but holy crap

Nine is a sexy asshole & cheater.
Daonuea is indecisive & overreacts.
Tee is a manipulative cheating slimeball.
Ice is kind of a nothing character.
Praew was unnecessary.
I loved CandyBoat. Faults & all.

It had good moments but those were few & far in between esp for 13 eps.

All the couples deserved one another excl. Tee coz fxck him.

Tee gives me the ick coz of the way he seems to prey on the young & naive.
Also he's a scumbag that stole Nine's crush by pretending to be him the day he lost his mom.
And his special episode did nothing to redeem him.

The show could've been better. A lot of it was basically an ad like there was a whole episode that was basically an hour long amusement Park ad.
I hope I get too see the main ship act in something better together. Their acting is believable and they have great chemistry

I know many people for reasons unknown to me had high expectations for this show because of the prologue episode released a year earlier but I didn't. It was just meh & the chemistry between the two leads hard carried & that problem continued into the series.
I liked the osts??

Watch and Judge the series for yourself

I enjoyed this show. I'm glad I didn't listen to the reviews. This show is one of the most human portrayals I've seen in TV shows. Everyone has their faults. No one is perfect. There is no one perfect character. The story is good. Every episode made me interested to see what happens in the next episode.
Too often the drama is drawn out and you're just waiting, unpatiently, for them to get it together. This show did a good job of making me interested to see what's next.
I think it did a pretty good job of showing one not waiting for someone else to figure out what it is they want and trying to move on. Even if that meant hurting someone else's feelings. It's real complicated I don't want to give spoilers but I think this show is worth a watch. I will definitely be rewatching this show.
I said it in the title and I'll say it again. Watch the show and judge for yourself.
The acting was great and I don't know what some of these other reviewers were talking about. The story made perfect sense to me and was easy to follow.

Its just okay.

This series is just okay, it's not the best show nor is it the worst show but it has tons of flaws and some good parts...

I think the only good thing about this series, is the spicy scenes with Nine and Daonuea.

Now the not-so-good,

Tee and Daoneua's relationship was awkward, they had no chemistry on screen or in real life, and Dao and Nine had much more chemistry. I wish Tee would've gone off with candy and let Nine have Dao, to be honest.

The whole series was 12 eps long but it definitely felt longer, even though I skipped all of Praew and Candy's parts, They honestly didn't need to drag out the whole Nine trying to get Daonuea and Daonuea treating him like crap, and then being confused. There was no solid plot, it was just a game of chase and it could've been 6 or even 8 episodes.

Also the fact that no one was getting Praew any help, like she was crying out for someone to help her but Candy nor Nine did anything for her except hurt her more. She tried to SA Nine when he was drunk, full on mental breakdown while trying to strip hers and Nine's clothes off and no one thought to maybe get her some help, it was bizarre to me. Though I'm glad in the end she was okay with their relationship.

Overall, it was okay, probably not one I'll rewatch but I'm glad I have seen it.
