Ended up loving this series

I don't really understand most of these reviews. I'm glad I didn't base whether or not to watch this series on them .

Yes it is a slow burn and probably could have ditched an episode BUT I feel that without watching all the episodes you will miss out on what is happening with all three couples. There are some very real problems they all face. That is truly the beauty in this series. The problems aren't the usual tropes. They are real problems and they learn how to deal with them properly.

Yes I will agree that there are some parts that are just not realistic or are annoying but definately not enough to ruin what I felt was the main theme of the show which was the problems that needed to be dealt with each couple.

It is definitely rated NC17 for good reason. These scenes were done well as with any hetro scene of this type. Kudos to the actors, director and production team for well done scenes.

I personally would recommend this show. Watch it thru its entirety paying attention to the details and hopefully you will see what I saw and not miss what I feel alot if other reviews did.

This is Killing Me!

I was so excited when I realized that this was an adaptation of Addicted especially seeing there were 24 episodes. I thought finally gonna get the whole story!

I am in love with this story. I watched addicted then read the book since I had to see what we were robbed of. This adapation is beautiful I have zero complaints. It is a cautious retelling which I can accept. There are obvious changes from the book but they are acceptable. I'm not going into them only because there are quite a handful so it almost makes the two stories cousins rather than the same.

Not gona lie when it ended I was frustrated at first, only because I was hoping for the full story this time. It does sound like they have a contract for S2. Keeping my fingers crossed it actually happens this time even if we get an open ending.

I am glad I watched the original and read it because I can still feel a sense of completion by stitching all three together.

I highly recommend this but be prepared!

4 epidodes too short

I don't know why I keep falling into the 8 episode trap. Most of them would have been much better had they chosen 12 episodes instead. These series usually start off strong and then fizzle after episode 5 or 6. The last episodes are rushed and dissapointing because we are missing so much explanation and filler that makes the story flow through until the end.

After they decide to date the story just jumps pretty much to date 100. They are supposedly madly in love enough to get couples rings but we just don't feel it because there has been NO feeling of any romance. They are the same two sitting on the swings just talking like the best friends they have always been.

Those extra episodes we are cheated out of would have made the last episode so much better. We would all have been feeling the anxiety, the disappointment, and the joy together. Instead it was more like "Well OK. Thats a thing that happened."

Will I continue to watch 8 epidode series? Probably because every once in a while a gem does come along. Sadly though this was not one of them.

By far the best K-BL to date

I really liked this series, it didn't feel rushed like so many K-BL's tend to. While it was still a college setting it just felt so real. The cinematography , editing, music and acting were above average for this genre. I was hooked immediately and it did not dissapoint. Was it perfect? No but it as close as I've seen!

I have seen a few reviews state that some of the characters were unnecessary. I feel all the roles were necessary to get to the depth of the two leads . Without them i feel the leads would feel shallow and we would be left with the cookie cutter BL . This series just felt so fulfilling and complete.

Love/Hate relationship

DISCLAIMER: My "reviews" are just my thoughts and feelings. I watch shows for entertainment only and can only write about hiw they make me feel.

I have a love/hate "relationship" with this series.

I did not write a review for S1 as I binged both seasons in 2 days and after watching S2 I didn't feel I would do justice to either season seperating them. I was into S2 before I even realized it the flow was so smooth.

First off if you don't like and violence and can't handle blood this series is definately not for you!

I hated this show because people frustrate me on a good day and watching them in these situations wants to make me scream. Yes I know it is fiction obviously but there is truth to the behaviours.

I loved this series for everything else. I fell into it hard. That was easy to do. The characters were believable, the story intense and I felt it to the depths of my emotions.

It needs to be watched on your good days though cause it will make your bad days worse.

I gave it a 7.5 for rewatch value for 2 reason; First because once you understand it all some of the appeal is gone. Second because it is intense and emotional I won't be rewatching it anytime soon.

I do recommend this overall. It is just so gripping if you can handle the violence and blood!

Worth Every Minute

I have finally decided to write a review on this. I've lost track now if how many times I've watched this. If they take it off of Gagaoolala I'll be lost.

If you are on the fence about watching this just do it. It is only 45 min so not a huge time investment. I think you will be glad you did.

This is definately my go to when I'm feeling lost or let down by other "BL's". I just keep coming back to this one.

I am not the best with putting my thoughts into actual words so please go read reviews from others who gave this a 10. They say what I want say so much better!

It is only 45 min long so not a big time investment but there is so much to it. Others have noted it was too short and was a good start for something longer. I disagree. I think making this longer would just be filler. There is exactly enough information. I have not once watched this and thought there needs to be more information or it felt rushed.

TRIGGER WARNING: There is abuse, rape and incest in this so please be aware of this when watching. These incidents are handled well and not overly used or detailed but are necessary to fully understand Light's issues with how he views love and himself.

I can't rave about this one enough. Of course this is all just my opinion as I most definately am not a true reviewer. I listen more to my heart than my head! This show makes my heart full!

It also looks like an 8 episode series is coming out. Don't know if it is a continuation or if it will fullfill the wishes of those wanting the movie to be longer. I'm torn at this time whether or nit to watch it. I will have to wait and see which direction they are taking it.

Don't Read Any Reviews

FAIR WARNING: Reading any review may spoil the experience of this movie.

Having said that go watch this movie NOW!

If your still here remember I warned you.

This is not a horror movie and it is not quite a romance either. It is a perfect blend of suspense with a sprinkle of gore and a tug at your heart strings.

I went into this not expecting anything really just thought it looked interesting. The Thai movies I have had the privilege of watching have a way of blending elements in the story lines just enough to make the stories interesting but not too much in any direction. I love that about them.

I don't want to say too much about it because it will ruin the feeling of the movie if you go in expecting one thing but get another. Watch it without expectations and enjoy it.

This is a true drama

This show had me from the very first. It i true drama in that you dont know what the outcome will be of Wang's search to understand who his father was. I think what nade this story so interesting and captivating for me was that it is based around 4 people. Wang , his mother Mol, his father Siam (who never makes an appearance due to his death several years earlier) and In a close friend of Mol and Siam. It is truly a drama based on how all 4 of these people decision affected each other deeply. It is slower paced and dialogue driven.

If you are looking for a romantic story this one is not it. But if you up for something more and a little heavy this is worth your time.

I gave this an 8.5 for rewatch only because I shed more than a few tears and it will be a bit before I can rewatch this.

Probably not for the ADHD brain

This was a good series dont get me wrong. But if you are like me can have a hard time totally focusing on a show and non-linear time lines are confusing it probably isnt for you. I will need to rewatch this at least 2 more times before I will be able to figure it out completely. I got the jist of it just not how we got there.

The scenery is gorgeous . The acting was good also. I really liked these two together. At times it all seemed too slow but I think that may have been intentional.

I will be watching it again to see if I can pick up the puzzle pieces and see if that will help with my rating of this series.

I found this drama very intriguing

This is one of those dramas where I couldn't wait for the next episode. I loved the concept of the Grim Reapers trying to prevent suicides. Most of the issues they tackled were very real and hard hitting. They handled it well though. I did wish that they would have inserted some reference as to the help these people needed once the walked them off the ledge. There was enough comic relief to keep me from totally losing it, mostly, but know you will need your box of kleenes for this series. I am dissappointed there most likey wont be a second season due to low watch ratings but at least it felt complete when it ended.

A Sweet but Short Series

A lot of the reviews I read for this series were very negative. There points are valid if you are a critic. I obviously am not. I watch shows for entertainment only. I cannot and will not pick any show apart. My checklist is simple: Did i enjoy the show for what it was? Did it make me feel anything? This series definately did that. It was a sweet story. Would more episodes or longer episodes flesh it out more? Of course but it didnt take anything away from it for me. I have an imigination so any "holes" were easily filled as enough information was given. I have watched this series 4 times so far and never leave disappointed.
