Boring

This was such a boring and low budget movie.

The acting was terrible, the story was boring , this just felt like a low budget movie, that was slapped together.

neither the cast or the characters grabbed my attention.

very boring and no imagination at all, no story. I didn't really care for the plot of this movie because it is the same plot as the original. They didn't add anything to it at all, it was just repeating it. But the way it was executed was terrible and so bland. I didn't feel anything, I just wanted to get it over with so I skimmed to the end.

Disappointing

This series was not what i had expected.

Although it had a good FL with strong character, and the crime solving was on point, it was just a kinda boring series, that dragged on and the endless dialogue. the ML lead was okay, not much can be said about him, as i felt he didn't have much of strong character and relied on the FL.

This is the drama version of the perfect trashy romance, It is not overly ambitious in terms of plot and will not satisfy hard core fans of the detective genre but overall it is an unpretentious hidden gem that will bring you on a delightful romantic journey. At times I found myself fast forwarding episodes just to finish it. this is one series you can walk away do what needs to be done and come back and you will be able to pick up where you left off.

What a Disappointment !!!!

I was looking forward to this when the first trailer came out, unfortunately it really fell short after watching the first two episodes, to the point I started fast forwarding just to get to the end.

The absolute worst part of this drama was from Ep 10 onwards!!! I really started hating Torn character, as literally everything he did was based around Fah who never really asked him too, and then when fah does get into club we see how through a tantrum and yet he was meant to encourage and support him why bother doing that, his injury set him back and he turns to the enemy for help!! and then you Fah who does nothing but tries to makes things right gets attitude from, he really lacked the basic understanding of what support and encourage is in firstly a game match and as boyfriend, it seemed like he was never happy to see Fah progress in life, instead wished to have him dragged down.

As for the other side couples gosh I can't even begin to say how disappointing they were, one falls for his sister boyfriend the other doesn't want to see boyfriend go off on scholarship, and this whole drama was nothing a bunch of problematic kids they did not understand the basic of respect and love and encouragement or just being there for one or the other!!!

Not to mention there’s like 3 kiss scenes in total which was QUITE the disappointment. i did end up skipping through the last episode as i was very bored and wanted to move on to the next drama. but yeah there is my review, THIS IS MY OPINION

Well Worth Watching !!!

Holy smoke this drama was really awesome, and super intense and suspenseful!!
An incredible series that GMM25 has delivered and a dangerous new standard for the upcoming series. this series is INCREDIBLE and therefore incredibly hard to review about, but will give it my best shot.

The story is unique and nothing that anyone has easily come close to achieving.

The production and filming/ writing of the scenes. Throughout the entire series, one can not deny the beautiful shots that were taken. Everything seems to have gone under detailed planning of how to use the natural light the best and how to film beautiful scenes at locations, that doesn´t depend on much editing. However, one thing is certain, professionals are at work. Both in the filming and editing, but also in the individual usage and choice of music. Incomparable to other series. Everything about this drama has set the bar extremely high for the rest that are to be released. This series is literally more than a bl series, as far as I can remember this is the only bl series that successfully made its lessons, representation and issues come through in a very clear way.

Not forgetting the fact we have an amazing cast who carried out there roles extremely well, and if you love OffGun then this is a definite watch. Hats off to Gun Atthaphan for playing two roles with such grace. He got the nuisances of Black and White’s characters down perfectly. You could tell the distinct differences in the characters very well. Off Jumpol, I was equally impressed. Each of the character/actors were equally amazing in the role and they each carried it out there role with such perfection and accuracy, you could see the professionalism come across from each of them, there stories were all unique in there own, but for me its there shared determination and closeness that stood out, there were more than just a team and friend that came together for a common cause. Another plus for me were the two FL in this drama, FL can be a bit of a problem in BL drama but thank goodness these two were not, and it was really refreshing to see that. There were strong women who stood for what they believe in, and worked and channeled there emotions through that. It was like watching an award winning drama.

The Music Wow it was really good, I loved how each song was associated with certain aspects of the drama, and it flowed through really well. It gave each of episodes a new meaning and new light to what was transpiring. Not often do you get Music and drama fitting well, but this drama definitely made it happen.

I honestly can not say anything negative of this show, it was that GOOD!!

Overall/Rewatch - Definitely an AWARD DRAMA, as well Oscar nominations for the actors as each of them deserve an award for pulling for such an amazing drama... SAD to see end, but well worth watching again, which I will be redoing and binge watch in one sitting!!!

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN GO WATCH THIS YOU WILL NOTE DISAPOINTED !!!!

Swoon / Natural /Sweet

I really loved this drama, not only because of the Leads were amazing but the whole story was good.

This drama centers on an uplifting romance between a doctor and a cellist. To be honest, the story isn't particularly unique. It's just a typical rom-com like we see in c-dramas. Except for the medical aspect of the drama, there is nothing unusual about it. But it's the characters and, of course, the cast and their acting is what makes this drama so endearing. I loved the ML both the first and second, although at times I did find the pace a little slow, but it was worth it when you get to see XZ dressed up in doctors robe, suit/or just hanging out with the girl.

Xiao Zhan & Yang Zi have beautiful chemistry and definitely worth waiting 2 years for, but gosh I hate that they made us wait for soo long. with this drama, I hope China makes more dramas with this theme.
BONUS POINT:
-Cute Second Lead Couple
-Family Love
-Friendship
-The OSTs make the drama more lovely (and I was hooked to intro osts before the drama aired ❤, it's just awesome)

Overall value is high since I’m already re watching to see the cute Lin Zhi Xiao and Gu Wei!

Short movie

This was a bit of disappointment, as they was so hype of to this movie on and trailer looked really promising.

So if you read the synopsis, there's nothing left for you to watch, except the intimate moments and the hot actors, The 24 minutes story involves a college student and a man who meet in a basketball court and becomes affected to each other and end up in a relationship.

I literally don't what else to say about this movie as the 24 minute short movie was literally all summed up in the above, so it left no imagination to the one watching it, or expecting anyting drastic to come out of it.

What I Liked
- acting
- production value
- the scenes of physical intimacy
What I did not Like
- choppiness, starts with them yelling at one another, then a guy is in bed, then motorcycle riding, then basketball playing...like what is going on???
- unrealistic responses/conversations, who doesn't ask what a person does for a job, it's one of the first things you ask someone. Also, if someone tells you not to do something don't they normally give a reason or wouldn't you ask what their reason is?
- the lack of communication between the two.

Overall - it's still watchable because of the acting elements and the exploding intimate scenes. So go for it because even if you don't like it, a 24mins piece won't hurt you.

Amazing

Wow this drama was amazing and so intense. I loved that leo and bai came back for another drama, they work so well together and they so well matched.

Firstly i love the costumes and the make up they worked well with every part of the drama, the scenes were amazing and they flowed into each other. I loved how Leo played a double role, and they could not have made him even more handsome, those eyes when he played devil were captivating.

Secondly Bai was amazing and she didnt allow her judgement to cloud her sense of right and wrong.

The music was good, the fight scenes although a little unrealistic were good with the effects.

All in all it was an amazing drama, that's filled with how everyone in this life has to fight evil in some way or another, whether it is your own or someone who does... how you need to use to remain positive when things dont workout and not to scumb to the negative, therr were alot of good points tomthis drama when you whats goes around you.

A definite drama to watch... just to see leo in all his outstanding costumes

The Worst Ever

OMG !!!!! This has got to be one of the worst drama of all time.

It literally took me a whole week to watch only 12 episodes, I think probably fell asleep through most of them and couldn't be bothered to go back.

This drama is so random, and Milk is so annoying most of the times.

Even if I wanted to summarize this series, I could not as it is incomprehensible and ridiculous. It drifts some some sort of a BL to ending up being a series of jumbled random thoughts of someone's bad dream. This could never be labeled as a Spoiler as there simply no coherent story here at all. If you are looking for a romantic BL, move on.

So, please, save yourself and avoid this show if you can. I know, as a BL fan, we tend to watch almost everything just because is BL or because, if you are like me, don't want to quit watching a show (call it stubbornness or pride)... but in this case, I highly recommend you read a book, knit a sweater, play videogames, clean your room or do something else instead of watching this show that really had nothing of substance to remember it for.

Expected More from this

This movie was not what I had expected.

I enjoyed the movie. It felt dark, and gritty. I loved the characters, even with all their flaws and insecurities.

The movie is about flawed characters and their tangled life. Which I do not mind, its just that I do not have to like them and/or sympathize with them. The character Imagase is obsessed, a stalker and cajoled his "Love" into having sex. He pushed him to a point where the other guy "Falls" in love with him and longs for him. Otomo repeatedly and continually cheats. He has no respect for anyone else's feelings. I think he is a sociopath. Extremely self-obsessed and emotionally immature. Yes people like these are all around us and in a movie we would like to see the redemption part of such characters. Here I felt that was missing. There was no redemption for Imagase. He is still as obsessed with Otomo as he was before to a point tha he cannot even enjoy sex with someone else, even though he chose to leave Otomo. Otomo appears to have redemption by falling in love with Imagase, which is really unrealistic, cause this is a realistic movie and sociopaths need serious rehabilitation. By loving someone you cannot redeem yourself. There was no serious consequences for the two lead characters, they have treated other people with such disrespect that the movie should have shown some consequences for them. Yes, one can argue that they did not end up together and there was no happy ending. To be honest these two characters cannot be happy together unless they work on their issues. May be at the end the makers wanted to show some glimpse of road to redemption by Otomo, but Imagase was left hanging. All in all it was not a satisfying experience for me to watch this. I am all for movies portraying complex characters who are ruthless and self absorbed. But I am against glorifying them and I think in this movie both these characters were glorified and the director wanted us to sympathize with them. Sorry I could not.

Overall: Its not a movie I would recommend, guess its basically up to you to give it a try.

A MUST WATCH SERIES

The bromance is strong in this one and I have no complaints! The friendship between these people are always my favorite part of these series.

Although I did not get to watch the previous series, this one is easy enough to pick up and understand. and of course the bromance is HOT. The chemistry between all the actors—main and side characters—are amazing! I wasn’t expecting much from them when I first heard of this (because like I said, they’re competing with ZYL) but they actually made the characters for me, even more than ZYL and HJJ did. They fleshed them, and the relationships between them, out perfectly, in my opinion. Best Wu Xie and Xiao Ge relationship ever (I mean, Xiao Ge was angsting hard after Wu Xie in this, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, that in itself should already tell you how good it was). Pangzi was actually portrayed as the third pillar of the Iron Triangle, instead of just someone who is there to serve as comic relief. I mean, he still was the comic relief, but we actually got to see him be the strong, competent and important Pangzi that he was written to be.

Overall, this is a solid storyline where a group of friends set out to seek the missing memories of a friend and along the way happen to unravel hidden (not so hidden) secrets. It was an enjoyable watch and I really loved it as an avid Dao Mu Bi Ji fan.

So, I most definitely recommend this series to people if you like this genre and/or the actors that portray these characters!

The ending is a cliffhanger,

Wasted Screen time

This was not I was expecting, a whole lot of wasted time, of 12 episodes of 5 minutes long each.

Why the hell could we not have put all of this into 1 series and possibly make it a mini series or something?

It could have been really good, if it was a little longer and more in-depth story line, to literally jam everything they could in each episodes to get from start to finish, and still tell something. So it does feel rushed most of the time, and even gag-y at times, bc they literally didn't have room to develop things.

Overall : its a real waste to watch this

Nicely Done

Wow Finally it has come to an end with a nice little bow!!

This drama was not disappointing to say the least, accept for the fact that I had too watch this ongoing and waiting every week for the next episode was torturous.

This drama was a continuous from the first one, and I was super glad to see that the cast were the same, and it picked where they left it, which always a good thing in my books.

The Plot/Drama itself was kind of slow, and it did look like there was ending or beginning happening, for me the only thing that kept intrigued was the cast, there were all amazing (esp Mark & Kit) which probably the main reason I watched this drama.

I maybe over Exaggerating my ratings based solely on the cast and not really the story itself.

There were some scenes that just quiet fit this whole drama, I will start off with markit cause that whole supposedly separation, incase he went to study abroad in real was just a waste, I think many new couples go through something like, although it was a good way to test each other, I just felt it was pointless. Than&Wayo kiss scenes were super boring to say the least, I feel like he took long to lean into kiss him or the disturbances were so unrealistic, its liked they were supposed to kiss but they actually did not want too, that build up was wasted screen time in my opinion, Then Pok&Tong well I get were each of them were coming from, and they suite each other, It would be nice to see them in there own drama developing there relationship further (whose with me?) And lastly Sandee&Phai well I am glad he learn his ways and again I think we need to some develop with him and Phai cuz clearly he started like Phai after he came right.

So in essence this drama is 50/50.

Overall : Just watch it and enjoy it yourself, or for the hot characters that were all matched and got along with each other, despite the plots and personal conflicts, twists and turns, long close ups, sweet love. Just watch.

A good attempt ... But sadly not executed

Okay so if this was an attempt to try and do a BDSM movie, or recreate 50 Shades then this movie was a complete fail!!

The only reason I am giving this 6 star is for the attempt and the funny moments that were in this movie, but either than that it was really very disappointing to out right boring.

Firstly - I think the writers should have done an in-depth search on BDSM.
Secondly - The main leads did not suit each other one bit, they were both so stiff and not even well matched to say the least, the one pro on this, is that at least the female lead was a dominant, but again she did not suit this part and definitely did not come across as a dominant at all.
Thirdly - the whole DS relationship was so off track that you could not feel or even excited trying to watch it, I was really disappointed. They had right the name, for the movie but it just was not executed properly.

Now I am not sure if this taboo in Korea, considering that there are some really good BL coming from, but in all honestly if they are going to do BDSM they need to get the story, as well proper characters, to play these kind of roles (more like the couple from nevertheless)

The only other good thing of this movie, I guess you could say is the introduction to this lifestyle and that is portraying a male submissive as pathetic, but that it was not the case in the slightest. it did show by putting up definitions and explanations of terms on screen to make it easier to understand, but again it was not executed in the right, I think the writers/producers should have used 50 shades as a basis to understanding the lifestyle.

Overall: For me this movie was a bit of disappointed, but it in the same token it was an okay attempt to BDSM lifestyle.

Suspenseful !!!

OMG this series/drama was so good and extremely nerve wreaking and kept wanting more, the only downside is that I watched this ongoing and having to wait every week for a new episode, was painful.

Right on with the review, Wow starting off with the acting, it's was good, great to be exactly, the cast pulled it off with what their character supposed to be, the women roles and the cattiness they showed us dam Giwi had it down to a tee, she pulled off her role so well, and of course I loved Tay as the Inspector and Josh looked really HOT as well which was a real bonus to this drama.

Plot/Twist: Okay to start off, although I loved Giwi performance, I must say her cattiness and nastiness was on downright scary and extremely mean, even though she pulled it off, I did like the fact that she got what came to her, and she fell off her high horse, we got to see a bit of why she turned out the way did in the last episode with her mom. I did feel for Mim but her plot and revenge tact's were weak and she never saw anything through and failed, I didn't much enjoy the part where she felt she had to lie to friend/lover to get her way that for me was wrong and no better then Giwi, she should have come clean when she got caught the first time, instead of playing the dude. Eve was also on a bit of bad ass chick, when she got all nasty, even though she came around in the end, there were some things i felt she could have handled a bit better, This drama portrayed some really strong women and what could possibly happen when a woman gets scorned!! (nothing hurts like a scorned woman). As for the two HOT MEN in this drama which made it well worth watching, Tay would inspector that sort of gets played by mim because of the love he has for her, and Josh who is the rich bad boy who set he sights on Eve but uses Mim to get to her, but then does a 360 when he sees his mistakes.

This drama has it all, suspense/lover/manipulations/back stabbing/murder/lies. Realizing one mistakes and owning up to it, even though people had to get hurt or even killed. The one thing that bugged me, it show us how weak the justice systems is.

OVERALL: This drama is well worth the watch and so much fun, if you looking for something different.
