Jun Shison's eyes can speak

This version as being much more lighthearted, fluffier, and sweeter than the 2003 version. Although I’m a big fan of the original. I love Shison Jun‘s portrayal of Momo. It’s very refreshing compared to Matsumoto Jun’s version. One thing I love about Shison Jun is the way he always looks at Iriyama Noriko throughout the drama. His soft eyes speak with so much tenderness and love. He did a great job at alternating between his happy, brighter side and his darker, more contemplative side. He's kind and thoughtful. There’s a lot more kissing and skinship in this version. I love how he held back his love and backed off at first for Sumire's happiness with Hasumi-senpai. At first I find the plot super strange. Who would actually adopt and treat a normal adult human being as their own pet? But after I watch on Asian Boss about Japan's Fake-Family Industry (Family Romance, a family and friend rental service), I realize that there are so many lonely Japanese people. It makes the plot less weird.

Ryan Peng is the Only "Mek" for me

This is all the info I've gathered and want to share with fans who love Ryan Peng (Chinese actor who played Mek). I wish him all the best as an actor or any profession he chooses to become. Ryan (born 1999) is too young to be dragged into this mess.
1. This BL series was announced as early as 2017 but the final cast only been confirmed on late 2019 and the series shooting process was started not long after and only officially aired on March 2020. Throughout the 2 years that spend on casting process, we have seen bits and pieces of promo casting photos with many different people including NineSaint was involved at some point.
2. The production company TRI Creations partnered with a Chinese company to help fund the show, and one of the company's stipulations was the inclusion of a Chinese actor Ryan Peng (Mek). Ryan changed his name from Peng Junjie Raff to Peng Jiabo Ryan in December 2019
3. In all of his scenes the actor speaks Mandarin, and they dubbed him over in Thai.
4. Tri-Creation released a statement about Ryan's termination because he has been behaving inappropriately while filming the series. Since his contract termination, he will be excluded from any promotional events, fan-meets or anything related to the series.
5. Tri-Creation emphasized that there were no problems between them and the China Team. They also mentioned that they gave Ryan several opportunities to change but it wasn't effective.He caused a lot of "delay" (they had someone dub him in the series) Maybe this delay is because he was slower than the rest in memorizing the script. Although he speaks Chinese, he still has to know when to speak.
6. We only know what the company said. We don't know Ryan's side of the story. I might be biased while saying this but I can't bring myself to believe that Ryan was rude to the staff. Although there was a language barrier, he seemed to have fun with all actors.
7. Ryan had a post in weibo where he say that he never show bad behavior and never disrespect anyone. He post it some time in December.
8. The filming was already over. They were in post production and they fired him. If it was for unproffesional attitude they should've done it long way before they ended filming.
9. It reminded me of Saint incident in Love by Chance (2018). it's not the first time that something like that happen on BL world. 9. They did changed main actors quite a few times. So I guess there's a lot more going on behind the scenes
10. This is not good at all for his career. Having a bad working reputation especially being so young is absolutely going to affect his career. If he was a more high profile actor they would have handled it differently. Many new actors are not always given a second chance, as there's more than enough good looking guys wanting to get into the entertainment business.
11. Fun fact to note that MD (playing Dr Thara) was the only one that survived all the cast reshuffle.

Fanfiction should always be a "fan" fiction

Gen Y was written by Liu Lijun. I think StarHunter wanted to piss off ChiffonCake with this. What they did with the names and character description is just like asking for trouble. StarHunter can actually get sued for this. The possibility of being persecuted for it is low but it will again cause damage to the boys. It is like they went on war against Motive Village and put the boys on the line of fire. This can have serious repercussions that's why a handful of Bas,Kim and Copter fans were reaching out to StarHunter to reevaluate the direction they want to go to. They can express hate against Chiffon all they want but stealing her work like this is unjustifiable. Again, they could have created a good story but decided to use those names like deliberately taunting Chiffon. I love the original novels Fanfiction should always be a "fan" fiction, and thus any form of its commercialization would be illegal. This is a big issue, and a violation of intelligence properties.
I am going to be against this production (Not the actors)

Be a Gentleman and acts nicely and Love may come.

1. Korean web series are getting better (plot+ acting) esp this drama comparing to dramas of those national television networks (KBS, MBC, and SBS) which are heavily advertised and turn out to be disappointment.
2. These actors are not famous but their acting is so on point
3. Each line is meaningful
4. Time of each episode is enough to keep you yearning for the next episode. They can be 1 hour long like mainstream dramas but trust me you will feel they dragged the show and skip scenes or even loose interest in watching if the editing is bad
5. People usually blame actors for bad drama but director+ Screen writer+actors (main and supporting roles also) must work well together. After all it's the director decision if a scene is NG aka No Good or not
6. This drama give positive feeling during These Challenging Times dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
7. Shin Woo doesn't let own feelings turn him into a vindictive person towards Da On or manipulate Tae kyung by giving him "bad advice". You can see in episode 9 that Tae kyung believed in Nam Goong who gave his "words of wisdom to those who have never dated"

My 6 Moons- The Right Amount of Everything

1. Bas is so sweet, precious and adorable .He captures the screen like no one else can. I enjoyed Wayo and Pha way more than I should. I didn't skip a scene.
2. Kimmon has a way of delivering his lines and his face expression is so on point. I watched Gen Y first and then this and wonder if Kim had a chin surgery or not (I'm pretty sure I did). MingKit is a perfect match. Kit= Kitty with doctors gang= Kit Kat with Ming
3. Tae Darvid is manly and Tee Thanapon is so handsome. Tee delivered his lines perfectly when teasing Kit with Ming. Tae and Tee didn't become a couple and some how I like that even more. The series name is 2 Moons and not 6 Moons after all. LOL
4. I liked the storyline, the acting, directing and editing. The plot isn't that interesting or creative but in a weird way it works. This drama made me feel good and brought back all kinds of emotions that I thought I have lost (watching K drama for such a long time). Healthy relationship+ supportive friendship. Never thought that I would love the drama this much.
