Not A BL ....

Sadly this is not a bl but a bromance between a phycologist & a Detective.

Although the casting and the ML were really well matched, and the storyline and investigative process was good, the stories for me started to drag on, it was like no sooner do they get closer to finding out who is doing the murders, they take several 100 steps back.

Know even though I did like the leads, I did feel that Zhan Yao protects Zhao Jue and casually converses with him despite knowing how many people he has killed and the extent of his deviousness. In fact he is more kind to and speaks more nicely with him than with Bai YuTong.

the story was sub-par, and just didn't flow, In my opinion, the first 8 episodes were amazing, but then is started to fall short, I think they could have gotten away with 12 episodes or maybe 15 but 24 were just way too long for this kind stretched out drama.

Overall: This is a hit and miss drama, you either watch for the eye candy or just skip through the unnecessary parts!!!

Not Bad, But Good Either

Okay so this drama does have a lot of high reviews, which one of the reason I watched it, Honestly it was not a bad drama, but for me it was not wow factor or a holy smoke this was astounding.

The story was interesting and touched on very good points and topics, I just feel that it could have been more explored, I did love the Sister gosh she was really funny and made show even more enjoyable, the two leads were an okay match, and they did suit each other.

I cant overall say that it was a great drama, but it was a nice watch and it was light and it did have some funny moments to it.

Overall: it was ok, would I rewatch it probably not.

Had potential

This drama I was really looking forward to it, but sadly I was slightly disappointed, in the sense that he had so much potential if they had just expanded the story line and give it more screen time, its one of those dramas you watch in one sitting if you have literally an hour to spare in your lunch period.

There was actually no real story to it and it just played along, 500 year old vampire kills his first love, and then falls in love again with a pure blood, only to die himself cuz he too afraid to bite his new love. And that is it!! that's the whole story.

The episodes were toooooo short like 8 minutes the longest being 18 minutes, the chemistry between the two were off but like I said if this was a little longer they may grown on me, but sadly this drama just didn't work for me.

Overall: Short / Sad / & could have been better.

A very Slow Start

So I was excited to watch mainly because of the ML, but to my disappointment, it started off really well, then all of sudden is kind of slowed down, I felt like the first 6 episodes were all over the place, and the whole backwards and forwards between the ML & FL and how they come together was really annoying, The story moves on because of many misunderstandings and miscommunication, you can't even say the bad guys are smart, they are just luck the main leads are dumb/don't know how to communicate.

I did not feel the chemistry between the leads, and they are very childish... their relationship would suit better if they were the secondary couple or the other person on the love triangle.

It took a very long time to actually finish this drama, cuz I honestly lost interest in it, but wanted to stick out just to see how it unfolds. This drama frustrated me to no ending and I did not like the characters at all. Especially the male lead, he is so unlikable (I like the actor, he's great, despite the bad script),

Just trust me, don't waste you time, 36 episodes of frustration is not good for the heart.

Sweet ... Funny ... Loving...

This drama was really funny till the last few episodes when things got real.

Hats off to Liang Jie and Steven Zhang for their phenomenal acting, they can portrayed each other's character out so well, the whole switching of bodies and how they carried out the roles were really funny, especially the episode where the ML had to experience her time of the month, that was just too funny and so cute at the same time. The story is really great, it's about each of the character growth and they're portrayed it so well, having to learn and experience what each person has to go through and how thy have to overcome there obstacles and challenges. For me it was like seeing how our celebrity's have to deal with life, and possible often they don't even have a life as they are always under such scrutiny.

The FL was really awesome in this drama she definitely deserves an award for 2021.

Also the main song and the music in general is really nice, and it went well with certain parts in the drama, this was my first time watching ML and I must admit he really wasn't bad at all and also fine looking,

A delightful Drama !!!

Childish ...

So the only reason I started this series was because of the ML!!

I am really not a fan of the FL and after watching this I see why, she was the most annoying and childish throughout this whole series, and so annoying, how they got her to play this part is beyond my understanding. The rest of the characters were absolutely fun to watch especially the second FL, I feel if she had played this role and made it a bit more serious it would have a fantastic series to watch.

The childish of this series is really unbelievable, honestly I don't think it deserves the rating I gave it. I get that it was a high school drama, but that was more like kindergarten material. The ML was very mature and serious were as the others had that playfulness which set them apart the FL OMG was just so wrong and so daft that she actually spoils the drama, I mean after graduation she still had no clue what to do and was even more childish.

The female lead, super manipulative, and toxic towards a dude who ain’t even that interested in her. Watching her obsess over this dude is just sad.

Definitely Not worth watching again, no matter how much I like the ML, just the thought of the FL is very sickening to watch.

Toxic

WTF .... the trailer to this looked so good, and was one of those that could not wait to be watched, then you actually watch it and holy hell you ask your self what on earth is this?

This drama is so toxic that its so unreal. Fah was so annoying and so bloody toxic that i found myself feeling sorry for sher, but then on the other hand, sher just kept going back for more, I get that he had some sort of tramua with love and commitment hence the 1 night stands but gosh the backwards and forwards these two gave us it was like watching a tennis match !!!

The only good thing about this drama was at least most of the actors were cute and decent enough to look at.

This show was terrible.

I wouldn't recommend this, but each person idea to there own.

Holy Hell

OMG!!! This is one the very first BL I am rating 10/10 it was totally awesome!!

The only con I have with this is that I watched it ongoing and boy last friday on the last episode it was bitter sweet!!!

Just the best BL you will find out there. Why? Because it's healthy, it's well written, the actors actually has good chemistry and, the most important, ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL, this is the BL drama that will end all BL dramas – PERIOD!

The Music was really awesome and the characters were so well matched and paired up that you could feel the love between them. The story was fantastic and the best part there was no cat fighting or back stabbing or any parents getting in the way.

They stood by each other and worked out they issues together. Although the storyline enemies to lovers is pretty cliché and over used but if it’s done right it came be so beautiful and Bad Buddy does an absolutely perfect job at this.

Watching Bad Buddy is a marvelous way to end 2021 and start 2022…

My Friday nights are sure going to be empty... anyway let go and re watch of this awesome drama in one sitting!!!

Cullinary Skills ...

So I started this after watching "Bite Me" hoping for a bit more than what I got from that, and well I cannot say that I was disappointed, was it better nope!!

If I had to compare the food in the previous watched drama was better looking compared to the simply dish in this drama protrayed.

This drama seemed to lacked flow and story line and you kind of had to think of what were their motivations? Why do they do what they do? Why is Jung Woo working with Laura? What is his goal? Why is Do Gun so into keeping true to the basics and so against the innovations and new ideas? Why is he obsessed with working at Laura Dining? What is Laura’s deal? They did not explain anything. Literally not one thing. Who is Jung Woo anyway?

Also the characters did not seem to have any chemistry between them, you get to see the whole apron pull in the first episode and boom we in love, no questions asked, they he find out he lied and his boss betrayed him and he seems to be okay with that like how is that even possible?

There is a lot of room for improvement with this drama -
- the nonsensical plot: why wouldn't the boss just fire the chef and hire the new one?
- choppiness: scenes would just leap from one thing to another,
- the ending, they didn't talk/date for 3 months, what??? The parallel was nice but we all know they should have kissed at the very end.

Overall - Nothing good nothing bad about it, but definately improvements needed to make it great.

Why Did I Watch this ....

This movie can be considered impossible to watch, First of all, the editing is GOD AWFUL who edited this ? It is a hot mess and it just switches from scene to scene so sloppy. The acting is over the top and ridiculous at times.

I am really not understanding how this got such high ratings, and yet it was so bad, the acting was really bad, there was no flow to the story, it skipped to like 5 years later, in a matter of a second!!!

The series also didn't explore much about xiao Chen wife and kid... it was like there were just thrown into the picture cuz mommy wish was for one her sons to be married, the fact that the mother didn't even try to understand her sons is really so sad, and to ask for something like that on your death bed and leave your children guilt ridden, that just pissed me off, the other son, didn't seem to have any issues living his life with his man.

WHAT A WASTE OF A MOVIE!!!!

LOVED IT!!!

Wow this drama really was well worth viewing if not once but more!!!

I loved the characters esp. Leo Wu .... The main leads chemistry was off the chart and I especially loved the fact that after 5 years he did come back looking a bit more mature with a slight Hair growth, that just added to his whole hotness !!!

This drama even though may have been long, and broken into parts, was played out and set out... every time line and the flow of the scenes was well played and in a timeously way... there was not second guessing as to what was happening and why ... the elders in the drama were really good, and we didn't have to go through the whole back stabbing and not good enough for this person etc ... I loved Shangsong grandmother, she was supper hilarious and really made the drama exciting, I also the emperor, he came out as a more understanding and compassionate king then a ruthless one ... This story has everything from power struggles not just in crown but each involved families in its surroundings. I can see the well plan of details as well as story as it keeps us in all states of emotions.

The production was well set out and the scenes were right with timing and plot that needed to showed.

The music was good.

Overall, Part 1 & 2 has nicely wrapped up the love & emotions of the leads as well the historical series, with a gripping plot and lovable characters, both leading and supporting. Character relationship in Love Like the Galaxy is one of the most precious and unique parts of the drama, showing every kind of love, and not just romantic. Through interactions and experiences, Cheng Shaoshang has finally come to accept her position in the world, and Ling Buyi has come to trust Shaoshang as not just the person he loves, but as her own separate person.

It well worth watching ... definitely a keeping drama when you need to rewatch with nothing else to go through.

Amazing and Excellent

Wow I have watched the series too many times to count, since its release.

Everything about this bromance was really good and the actors were so well sync.

The music was excellent and I actually listen to it every single chance I get.

This drama has made me laugh out loud and cry like a baby, this drama has achieved way more than what other big budget production has not. I do think as fans of BL, especially from China with it's censorship, we need to reward productions who do not skew from the original story, who do non add random female characters, who do focus on story telling with intentions and a POV. ZZH is so good playing the reluctant role of the "mouse" with such subtlety and finesse, that you will find new hints of his intentions at every rewatch. Not to mention all the dynamic supporting roles, written with back stories and characteristic intent that supports this Wuxia JiangHu, he was really amazing in this drama and exceptional HOT. I also love Simon and I think they partnered up really well, just like The Untamed drama, the chemistry was there and acting was so well done. I really loved this drama.

I could honestly say that this fitted in if not a bit better then the untamed, my absolutely two favorite dramas in the bromance line up.

The production team, scriptwriters, costumes/makes up (behind the scenes workers) and cast did an awesome job and bringing the story, setting and each character to life. It was much better than I expected since this is one of the novels from Priest that I enjoy next to another one. The scriptwriter really knows how to add the romance and confessions in the the spoken poetries from KX.

Gonna do another round of re-watching!!!

Definitely not what I thought it would be

It was dragged more than it should have. The whole Por cheating thing should have ended within two episodes also they could have wrapped the whole series within highest six episodes. Both of the main actors are really good but there was no chemistry between them.

I did find tawan to be a little on the doofus side, surely you know be the third text, and avoidance from por that should have been red flagged or that you are being seriously ghosted, why then would you still hold onto something like that?

The other side couples were okay, nothing really fantastic and nothing to dull.

This drama was not what i was expecting, it was like a sweet side story, there was hardly a kiss in this drama, which came across as more of a bromance than a love story or BL.

Overall: Its an okay watch.

Kind of Pitiful ....

The series is a cliché, which carries many problems. We have Third who is in love with his best friend (Khai), and he's a complete jerk. Not because Khai does not return his feelings, but because he is a terrible friend. In the first episode I even sympathized with Third's problems, but by the time the second one arrived, I was already full and wanted him to take the reins of his life and go after someone else, or be alone. What's wrong with being alone? I did third was very pitiful and depressing, how can some endure loving someone who treats you like you rubbish for all those years.

Before I start, let me talk about what I like in the show first before we get down to the downside of this. Firstly, the cinematography is great! I like the editing and I like the movie names being the title of each episode portrayed. It’s creative and it’s nice to see filmology major students instead of the same old engineering, science/medicine or economics major students in Thai BLs. The train scene is also great, it’s shot really nicely and for me is the saddest scene in the show itself.

Khai’s character development was not good enough. While I never liked him for the entire 12 episodes, him falling in love with Third was so rushed and for me, it didn’t make sense. I was questioning the show while watching it and I never got my answers in the end. How and why Third did fall in love with Khai? (I know that Third fell in love with him at first sight but that can’t be the only reason right) What were Khai's good qualities and traits? Why couldn't they show some actual good traits of Khai to the viewers so that I could understand as well instead of wasting so much time on the subplots?

Was it a bad drama? No. But it’s not good either. For me, this drama could have been better. This was a wasted potential for me. Do I recommend people to try this show? Watch it and judge it yourself. You might have a different opinion from me. That's all I could say for this show.
