Different but good

This was a excellent series, the story was good and easy to follow, the characters were well matched and played extremely well.

The series flowed through and kept you sitting glued. My only problem was that each episode was long, even though it was really good.

I enjoyed the story and how everything came full circle, the ending though Wow i didn't expect it even though there were tears i was shocked with the last bit of the episode.

This drama deserves every bit of high praise possible and for Good reason, you come across you love, when the plot gets thick it still holds structure.

Again though that ending had shocked.

Not what I expected

I expected so much from this series after seeing the trailer, what a let down!

I love cats but this series was just to childish and so immature that it made watching it really difficult, i kept expecting it to turn around and get inspired. But nothing what a disappointment.

The ML was so full of himself and arrogantly thought he was all that, and the FL was so bland and boring and as usual never listened and thought she could what she wanted, worse was the story had no depth, we looking for her brother without giving us a clue as too why.

This series just lacked everything.

Beauty and the beast

Alone and helpless, Ali spends her days by the sea accompanied by Hai Daiyu (Han Dong), a fish that can transform into a man. As time passes, the two fall in love. However, Ali imprisons Yan after she becomes pregnant while Hai Daiyu's whereabouts remain unknown. Soon enough, Ali discovers that the conspiracy behind the marriage to the sea god.

I found this movie to be very similar to beauty and the beast the English version, although enjoyable and funny with the whole plot of deceiving and falling in love to protective and fighting your way through the mess.

It was a good watch when you in that switch off kinda mood.

Manipulation...

Although I may love the ML ... this drama was really not for me, however, I did watch this but to be honest, I also did fast-forward some of the scenes ...

Firstly I am not a fan of rom com where we have manipulation and coercing and the very fast part of this drama this is exactly what happened ... although I do understand the reasons behind it, but dressing as a man to work for a male dominating company for me personally is not the way to go.

Secondly the ML parents literally went too far, in order to get there son married, wow getting him drunk was really cheap and deceiving, and the fact that she agreed to marry cuz of a crush she had for those years, guess she didn't have much a life or thought really low of herself.

Thirdly the last half of this drama reminded me too much of his other drama (Your my destiny, with Liang Ji) where she fell pregnant and left him without even telling me, then we had the whole chase and trying to find her ... the resemblance and the story line this second half was way to similar ...

This drama was really highly annoying and had no sense of direction, the fact that I stuck it out, was because the ML was cute and I did like him in other dramas ... but this was just not one of them.

Overall : Watch this at your own risk, while falling a sleep or something cuz there is really nothing you wont miss after fast forwarding or dozing off you will begin the endless torture to continue watching...

Funny .... & Comedy

So this drama was really funny and comedic ... I watched this because of the mean leads ...

The plot is rather simple and straightforward, the villain is revealed to the viewers very early in the story, Zhao Lusi is still Zhao Lusi – silly and cute, and the story is non-original with the-hero-gets-the-girl-and-the-bad-guy-vanquishes. In other words, it’s cliché and tropey. Nonetheless, I find Zhao Lusi’s cuteness irresistible. ... Having said that I do feel the pairing up between Lusi and Xu Kai cheng were not compatible to say the least ... for me I found him a bit more mature for the whole Lusi role, and I just could not get the two of them together.

The drama itself was comical, and story line was good. the acting was okay ... It is one of those easy watch drama with zero expectations of what is really gone, the villain is known really early in it so you can just watch for the sake of it.

Overall: Its not a bad watch just don't have to much of an expectation with it.

Not that good but bad either.

The series is framed by a class about love, wherein the students in the class are paired off in heterosexual couples to do a bunch of love experiments. Two girls pair up, because one is in love with the professor, and the other has a stalker, so she's terrified of all men (except Jiwoo, who's too tiny to be scary). and this is really the basis of the whole series.

For me it kind of goes down hill after you get the whole idea of what is likely to happen and where exactly we going to end up. This is a series that could have worked if it were twice as long. It simply had too much going on, a lot of it totally unnecessary, to cover in six brief episodes. Almost the entire story is about Jiwoo pursuing Yuna and dealing with her stalker. There almost no BL whatsoever. but to me, it just felt unrealistic and added just to create a problem between the two lovers.
In general, this is a cute but short show, that doesn't focus too much on the queer side, but it makes it a little bit different from the rest.

Overall Again a short drama which can be done is one sitting.

Really Cute

The beginning of the series is largely taken up with a bullying plotline that isn't very pleasant to watch, made worse by the implication that the main character's foster brother has not done anything about this for 3 years. The manhwa makes it clear that he didn't know about it, but that's not at all apparent in the series. The story builds up some dramatic tensions that are more or less handwaved away, so once the boys are together there's really nothing left to say, yet the series continues, leading to an underwhelming finale.

So, All wrapped up,
It was a nice little try at the drama. It seems like something someone in school would make or would make for one of those "make in an X amount of time" events. Please no speed running, it needs more story/plot and not to be so rushed. The soundtrack probably needs to be less distracting and choppy. Also absolutely nothing against the actors, Maybe pick actors who are more comfortable with being cast or more experienced with BL? It could make things seem a little less awkward. I'm only saying that because they seemed awkward and stiff during the drama at times.

Overall: it is watchable and sort of cute in a very cringe sort of way, thankfully its a short so one sitting is good enough to watch it.

Slow paced

I was really excited for this drama to come out, and actually waited till it finished airing, to start it, and thank goodness I did that, as i am not sure if I would have been able to finish it.

This drama was a let down for me, as I found it really slow paced and a few times annoying, I mainly watched this for Kimcopper, and although they did not disappoint on the eye candy side, the drama it self was a let down. Copper was a bit annoying most of the times like to the point of being a little to babyish and also he didn't seem to have enough confidence in his love with Jedi!!! They took the story of Piece/Typhoon and Jedi/Ray and combined the two, where both of their stories overlap with one another. Phoon and Ray have been friends for a while, with Phoon helping Ray with his obsession with Jedi and being a good friend that gives him great advice. And Pierce is the songwriter who writes music for Jedi. So throughout, they all have interactions with one another while simultaneously dealing with their own conflicts.
I did like how in this season phoon character at least developed and made less babyish, but I am not so sure going to to work in the same place as your partner is good idea to start off, but somehow they made it work.

Overall : this is short drama if you have time to waste and can watch while scrolling through phone.

Sweet & Caring

Truth to be told, it strongly felt like every fanfic ever came to life and... it works. Pinning over each other for years, longing and wanting the other, but never taking the step forward, protecting each other, making sure the other is not hurt. All the best tags we can find in fanfics are here too. While the story is extremely simple, the directing, editing, acting, ost... everything works in such a harmonious and perfect way, But seriously, I was really shocked at the quality of it all, it was really awesome and really great and I loved every second of it.

Good story, good pacing, cute guys and good acting - what more can you ask for? I have one thing, I want more time with them!!! The series is too damn short!

The plot and the execution including the sets are well polished, and all the actors did a terrific job. The show also makes a few more quality decisions, especially around its second female lead who is textually treated in the same way as a traditional kdrama second male lead. It's a refreshing decision, not just from a kdrama perspective but from a BL perspective as well.

As a web drama, Where Your Eyes Linger is far far too short and as such the narrative is rushed. It would have benefited from longer episode lengths.

Definitely worth the shot if you prefer your “innocent BL” and don’t have time to binge dramas with long episodes

Funny and Light

I really found this to be a light hearted mini drama.

Hands down the most fun I've had watching a comedy series in a long time. I was literally rolling on the floor. It's short, but totally worth the time. The casting was also very good (not great, but decent), and the main character played his role flawlessly.
This series uses the power of parody and it comes out perfect, it is very funny, the best thing is everything that happens in the background of the stage, it genuinely feels like being in a world dominated by the BL, another feature in its favor is the duration, the fact that it is so short allows you to better enter the game and participate in the absurdity. This drama is god damn funny, the manga made me laugh but the over the top acting from the main character mob is funny. He makes these faces like he's a villain trying to be straight.

Overall :If BL drama fans want to take a break from emo/sad BL and want to laugh from the BL tropes they often see in these dramas. There's eye candy of so many guys loving other guys. It's god damn funny to boot with a ending that most fans will love. It really needs a follow up/sequel because a cliffhanger ending is bad.

Not what I had expected ...

I was really looking forward to this, although to be honest I started with the Movie first before the actual series, and well I was not that overly impressed with it, the trailer for both of these looked really good but I was not happy impressed with the movie.

If just seemed to have lacked a whole lot of story line and potential, I did not feel any chemistry between the leads and the some how it feels liked it was all of the place, then it did full circle a year later without back ground to what really happened between them?

So I might watch the drama (MIGHT BEEN THE KEY WORD) or just forget about it, if there are literally the same along the lines of nothing !!

Overall: Guess its up to you, but a NO FOR ME!!

Keeps you guessing ....

So this is not something I would normally watch, but i thought i would give it a try and try something different.

I could honestly say that I was not disappointed, but not over excited about it, it does have the whole keep you at the edge of your seat, and the fact that I watched within a day says a lot. I did get the feeling that it was very similar to Lost as well, you have an almost identical and equally pivotal scene of the main character waking up on the ground in the jungle at one point. You have the unworldly creepiness that can't be explained and the mysterious suspense wrapped around everything.

Also it just really busy and everything was all over the show, for me, the one downside was the teacher that came back from the jungle and acted like a child, especially blackmailing the student, instead of being the Main Adult and step up, then we have the bullying aspect when she finds out what happens to her brother, any normal person would have been able to see and know that there was no way he was going to be able to make that trip and that his leg was getting really bad, then you have a affair and emotional black as well as a student trying to paly doctor. Although I do get it, if in a situation you do need to step up and grow in order to survive there were things there that I feel could have been handled better.

Overall: nothing bad to say, good series. (Okay, but I can say that the storyline was a few times (very little times) little bit messed up but not too bad. And the end left almost everything open, cant honestly say if I would be watch the second season if there is one.

What a Disappoitment

Honestly, how does this series get so many positive notes? The script has numerous flaws, the characters change their personality and ideas quickly and without explanation ... The first two episodes are ok, but then it only gets worse and more and more confused. Even things that I liked, like Tar, ended up not having much development. And the two girls? Was that an ending? A series summed up in script failures, bad development and good kisses. Just good kisses.
Even at the end, when I thought I could be satisfied, it wasn't enough to make it worth it .... sad.

Honestly I really thought it was a continuous from the first one, but sadly it was not, there was a lot of new characters and this time they threw in a couple of girls and for me that is when it went down hill, I just couldn't understand why there were there in the first place?

Overall: I have nothing to bring here, it was that bad to watch.

What I had Expected ...

So from the many trailers I saw on this drama, I was expecting something a whole lot different. I watched it because I wanted to watch something light after so many sad bl series I've watched.

The show is entertaining, but the story is simple and stereotypical.
- The acting is really good in my opinion (even though the characters aren't the most complexed).
- Because of the short episodes, it is really easy to watch and you actually feel kind of intrigued on what's gonna happen. The game is something new to me, as I have never heard of this game at all, so it was kind of interesting to see, although there some parts of the game I think are bit dangerous and could cuz a bit of problems, but overall it was a fun game. The music is horribly boring. I want you to know that a good song in the right moment can change a scene almost completely,.

OVERALL
It's more or less entertain and there are only 5 eps, so if you want give it a go. However, don't expect much and keep in mind it's a simple story. If you are looking for something with deep characters or plot, this is not for you.

POV ...

This was a lovely short drama from Leo POV, I really enjoyed seeing them together, and although it is basically the same scenario from Tharn & Type 2 there are a little bit of leo thoughts that do go along with fiat and how if they had just communicated from the start a whole lot of misunderstanding would have resolved.

For people who have already watched and don't care to see their scenes again I would honestly just go for it.

Also, this was just a lead up to "Don't Say No" the series, which was really good and explained a lot of what happened with Fiat.

I can't say if there is any really particular order for this, I guess it just a matter of one choice and how much you really enjoy watching these two and the whole build up to what is going to come and what has already happened.

Overall : Good but again a repeat.
