Unexpected and beautiful

This was worth every second of watching.
It started so silly, I was worried in which direction the story will flow.
But, it's heartwarming, beautiful, cute, pleading for understanding and a little bit mysterious.
And then there's AMBER.
This pretty and handsome being. With big warm eyes and a big secret.

The whole bunch of actors did a great job to transport this story, and Erek Lin is the cherry on the cream.
I like it, when the actors starts to play so genuine, that You forget You watch a Drama or a Movie.
Absolute rewatchable content.
A great chemistry between the couples. Every character was relateable. Well done!

So much fun to watch

This is just a sweet and light story.
Ideal for beginners, youngsters and for a binge night.

If You don't like tearful and overly dramatic story plots, watch this!
It's a cute story and a simple plot, but the execution is just funny and comfy.
The humor is classically Japanese, a little bit over the top, but fits into the story.

Naoya is a handsome guy, in great shape, his look is so dead serious. But when he laughs, the sun rises. Such a dorky smile <3
Kota is just cute, has so funny thoughts, a big mouth and is just adorable at gay panicking. xD

I laughed so hard about the silly situations, got goosebumps as Naoya stopped and kissed Kota on the cheek, was worried for them, how they manage to get to each other and set their relationship. The pace of storytelling is just right. I liked the way we get to know the characters, their motivations and actions. The only thing to complain about, the supporting characters are just flat, but for this amount of 8 episodes á 24 min it's comprehensible.

At least, there's no skin ship, but I didn't miss it, because the story is wholesome even without.

Beautiful mermaid man - YES!

I liked the premise of the plot. It promised a chinese fairy tale with boys love and I was hooked.
Long hair, fine Hanfus, wonderful places.
I really enjoyed the wuxia vibes and the acting was good, so sometimes I really forgot that I was viewing a piece of drama. The desire of Minister of Criminal Justice was clearly felt.
The red sheets.... damn, that was such a beautiful artistic representation of physical intimacy.

Cinematographic it was a joy to watch. And even if the story had it's holes, I liked it, so I could oversee them.
It's a story, finely told, between the lines. The sadness and the longing has catched me.
Okay, it's an open ending, but that will let room for fantasy.

Only one thing drove me to despair: The wig installation killed the illusion.... guys, the glue... I cried...

Surprisingly warm and beautiful pink

Did You cried big tears with Ae in "Love by chance 2"? Did You suffer from seeing the Mains in "Lovely writer" beeing apart ? Was it hurtful to watch "Miracle of the teddy bear"?

Vice Versa is the medicine.
It's heartwarming and soothing.

I started to watch this with the expectation of an interesting SciFi plot. But this is just the frame for the really beautiful love story. One doesn't have faith in love, the other one tries to win his heart over. It's a sweet (sometimes literally), comfy and vanilla series. Easy to watch for beginners.

The series tells the story of two guys, which changed the universe because of their deaths. And their 2 years of longing and searching for a way back home. But it was never a painful waiting. They live the life of the guys in which bodies they transferred to the fullest to not disappoint the owners or ruin their careers.

I personally had to mention, Sea isn't my type of men, but his calm and wise aura and his beautiful smile, melted my heart. And Neo, the funniest character in so much series, plays another wonderful warmly and clearly funny character.

I also liked the cameos of other GMMTV Boys. That was always a little joy of reunion.

So, just give it a try =O)

Great 11.5 Episodes

I'm obsessed with Sotus (the series), Enemy-to-lovers tropes and I really love slow burning relationships.
And this series delivered. I was so happy, I found a new jewel with my preferences.
The tingle I get at the moments when Tua tried to avoid meeting Prakan . . . Aweee, just like Sotus <3 .
The kissing scenes and the dialogue . . . AAAAWEEEE.

And all f*cked up with this ending, imho.
So disappointing in my eyes.
Okay, it's not fair: I had expectations.
I wanted them to live a life together, not this "I will be by Your side in every life You live", because Tua will always live like a ghost and Prakan will always seem to be lonely from the outside. No, I don't like that.
Maybe I wanted a wonder or a fairy tale ending. At least I wanted them to live only one lifetime together, all even and at eye level.

The support characters where well done, nothing spectacular. BL side couple was a little dull in their interaction. And the other side couple lacked of tension, sorry. (But YES, Yacht had a real glow up, damn!)
Only Singto Numchok Thanatram who played Khett, the other soul reaper, did a great job. He created an interesting character and I wanted to know much more about Khett.

Kind of pure and realistic

Another great Korean short film.
Normally I don't like short films, but this is the second Korean one which I can highly recommend.
And what I love the most, it tells a whole story, no cut off or unsolved .
Introduction, climax, conclusion. Simply and completed.

The actors are maybe not recognizable, but they create believable characters. And I could feel the tense between the main characters, their glance at each other, the touch, quite genuine and exciting.
The setting is very realistic and puristic. I also liked the cinematography and the lighting mood. The whole package suits the story.
This isn't a waste of time, it's just 19 minutes long and I was very satisfied with the storytelling and the pace.

Cute, short, on point in under 12 minutes

This was a real surprise.
Normally I don't like to watch short films. The most aren't satisfying in their storytelling. I hate when the story is unsolved or cut off.
So this is a cute, little story, without long dialogues and much words.
Everything I wanted to know, I got it. Introduction, climax, conclusion, everything in just under 12 minutes
The pure setting and acting transports the story clear and direct to the viewer.
It has embarrassing moments, awkward situation, steamy scene and a heartwarming deep moment.

Watch this!!! Really, it's no waste of time imho.

(The only thing I wanted to have clarified, what about the ice cream? *lol*)

This is so - innocent - , maybe to innocent - . -

At first. I loved the idea, I loved the cast, I loved basically the story.
Why am I so disappointed?

The lack of any kind of intimacy or public display of affection (PDA)!

Don't get me wrong: I don't need steamy scenes. I don't need wet kisses. (I am a huge SOTUS Fan ^-^, I love The Untamed UwU) Nice, but not necessary.
But I need chemistry, something You can see and feel. Any kind of sparkle. But everything was just so sweet and to innocent and even chaste.
I don't know, after watching the final episode, is this a bromance between roommates? Is there more than just "let's live happily together for the rest of our lives"? There wasn't even a kiss on the cheek. And no, the little toe knot is not PDA imho!

Also the side-couples: Cute but no real intimacy. Evan only had take Faiyen under his chin to show affection (Bodo was cute, I loved his acting the lack of expressions, because of the role). That's all. But really, that's what I do with my friends, not lovers.
And I did not understand the girls couple. That was kind of cringe. The girl was so clumsy, she was a stalker, she ruined a lot of her given tasks, but "she is so cute and she has ears", so her boss could not be mad at her. . . Phuuuu, ehm yes, and why, but no!

To be clear, it's worth the watch !!!
But it's really a series for beginners, maybe youngsters.
It is not what I hoped for and it's not a classical BL in my eyes.
I really hope to see the cute cast in other roles, hopefully in a BL.

(If You want to see a BL story about a cat human and a human, watch "Youths in the breeze: Cat Boyfriend" , it has also no PDA, because it's chinese, but sooo much more tense.

Surprising

I did not expect to be so happy after watching this series. It's kind of silly and stupid, just like an american 90s sitcom. But it warmed my heart, it makes me flutter, I was feeling the tense. The chemistry between Earth and Win is extraordinary. Just the glancing at each other has telling so much story itself. I loved it.
I wish they continue the series, because it was fun and there is so much unclear, they could fill another 15 episodes.
Worth to give it a try. Maybe you need time to adjust at the artifical laughing and the overacting, but it's absolutely worth!!!

NOT a BL, but worth the watch

I had hoped to watch this movie, since it was released in Taiwan, bunt unfortunately I had to wait half a year.
I'm an absolute BL addict, I thought this could be another supernatural-loves-human BL. But it isn't. It's something different. Something very funny, chaotic and mostly thought-provoking. An homophobic ass of a policeman, badmouthed gays and gets himself into trouble, picks up an envelope with remnants of a dead gay guy, and so he accepted the marriage to the ghost.

So, maybe now there will be some hints to the story, stop reading if you won't be spoiled.

I love how the two guys find a way to understand each other an embrace the strengths and weaknesses of the other and try to fulfill the last wishes of the ghost. With a lot of action, chaos, fun and a lot of verbal battles.
Although the policeman is brash and cocky, he has a sweet heart and a soft spot for his ghostly husband. I can't describe it, but it has catched me off guard. It's kind of heartwarming, shows how you develop an understanding for things you thought you wouldn't ever understand and how some impacts in your life can change you into a better person. I can really recommend the movie.

Funny, way too short and kind of comfy

Short rollercoaster of emotions, witted dialogues and good music. Nothing more to say. Something to light up your day for a moment.



So, I have to write 500 characters, as a review for a short film with a duration of 15 minutes, trying not to spoil the plot. Really? This is kind of dumb. So I write my protest here instead, please cut this for short films. It makes no sense to write more text then the film offers in the screenplay. Not in this one, but in some other short films....

But I really recommend to watch this film. So give it a try.

How much words do You need to tell a story?

Obviously not so much. The actions tells everything.
This is just short. But it has everything I need for a good story.
A beginning, a climax, an ending.
Maybe it's an ad for a perfume, but it creates in this 12 minutes a cute little love story.
And it's quite a better product placement situation than in some other series.

The chemistry between the main characters develop very well in this short amount of time.
I love the expressions on Earth's (now Din) face so much. No words, just emotions.
I am so happy that these guys now get their own full 12 episodes series <3 (My secret love: https://mydramalist.com/71965-secret-admirer) Well deserved.

Slow pacing feel good content

First, I re-watched it approximately whole 4 times, since it's completely aired.
This is the perfect series for rainy Sunday afternoons.

Mork, a simple motorcycle-taxi-guy with a great heart fell in love with Tawan, a doctor with passion for his job.
As simple as the plot is, it's adorable to watch them fall.
The whole story is slow pacing, but I loved it.

I like that Mork doesn't make a big fuzz about falling in love with a guy.
I love that his uncle lives with the love of his life, a man.
I adore the DIMPLE of Mork.
I had a lot of fun to watch the male/male side-couple.
I appreciate all the supportive characters, especially the taxi-driver-trio.
I don't know how to describe: all the characters are quite natural and no one is without flaws, it's just kind of realistic.

For me, the story about the best friend of Tawan wasn't necessary. It was good for a balance of couples, but it has taken to much screen time from the adorable main couple. But that's just my opinion.

The whole cast did a great job. The characters were written so good. The funny characters weren't over the top. The "mean" characters had a natural development and reactions. The "good" characters had their flaws.

For me, the complete series is just like a warm blanket, to comfort You on bad or cold days.

This is real comfy stuff

We get to know 4 couples with different starting points. And it's interesting to watch them grow, together as couples, individual as persons, wholesome as group of friends.

This series is a little jewel, because the drama doesn't hurt, the fluff makes me giggling and we only have to wait for the cute little happy ending. Maybe it's not sophisticated enough, but You get what You waiting for. Simple and cute boys love story.
I am so sad, that this series ended, it was always a highlight of the week. The cherry on the top of cream to soothe from a hard week. I miss it so badly.

And I loved the chemistry. Fluk and Earth (now Din) have shown the same chemistry like in Scent of love, but the real surprise were Daniel and Bew, which play Lee and Park, a secret longlasting couple. Sooooo unbelieveable cute. <3 Hope to see more of them, especially as couple.
It's another comfy series for rainy Sunday afternoons. And absolute rewatchable. I'm addicted to the fluff. Sorry =O)

PS.: The OST by Jeff Satur is just wonderful. His soft voice merges everything together. Love it!

Doesn't heal pain, only causes

At first, I loved the look of Petch and Son. Maybe I watched it completely because of their physical appearance, I don't know why I sat through this series.

Milk, a quite cute guy, who was sulking the whole time, is in hospital because of injuries. He is always in a bad mood. I really don't know why Dr. Pun fell for this childish and selfish guy. Jeeez!!
We get odd scenes of jealousy, weird family scenes. I have clearly no idea what's the idea of this story was, and why was it called physical therapy????? The doc watched over his patient in his freetime (and this freaking dumb guy did not really appreciate the concern... aaaargh).

I rate the acting 2.5 stars, 0.5 for Son's cute face, 1 for Petch's body, 1 for the After-shower scene. 1 star for story, only because You can't give 0. I was asking myself the whole time, what's happening??? There was a side story about a patient in coma, they mention him quite sometimes, but it's a dead end. I didn't get the necessity of the straight side couple, which turns out to no couple .... They characters have a big meeting and want to play games, but then the "game" is a sleeping in a room, all together, middle of the day. Or they raise the nephew of Milk for 5 years and then the sister take the boy back, from one day to another. Dr. Pun is suffering and i would say it's a depression (?) . And as always, a depression can be cured in a day. WHAAAAT???
In the last 10 minutes the introduce a new character, maybe a rival for Dr. Pun.... WHYYYY??? AAAahhhh it's a big mess.

The music was not disturbing, that's all I can remember. Petch sings a song, has a nice voice, but why did he sing ???
Rewatchable??? Nope!! No! NEVER!!! I was forced to rate at least a 1, but for me it's a clear ZERO!!!

Really, I stop here, this series is absolutely messed up. Just like this Review.
