Kiseki: Dear to Me (2023)

YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS!

I think this might be the fastest I’ve ever finished a show in my life.

I knew just from the clips I’ve seen that I would really enjoy Kiseki: Dear to Me, but I didn’t think I would love it as much as I did. I could not stop watching or thinking about this show. The way it was filmed was absolutely beautiful, the acting was simply amazing no words, especially for Taro as this was his first series! The range he showed was incredible! The chemistry between Nat and Louis and Kai and Taro was chief’s kiss amazing. The Cinematography was stunning; I swear some of those shots were just beautiful, the storyline wasn’t that confusing despite it being less than 30 minute long episodes. Everything is explained and the way the episode’s are structured helps the story along and makes it seem real because time actually passes and it’s shown. The music was perfect as well. I both love how short the episodes are but I also want them to be an hour long as well.

I’m so sad it’s over but the messages from Nat, Louis, Taro and Kai were so sweet and the behind the scenes clips at the ends were a joy to see.

Now below this are just random thoughts I had while watching that I want to add because..why not! Beware there are spoilers..


The comparison between Zhe Rui and a cat is the funniest and most truthful thing I have ever seen.

Drunk Ai Di is adorable and the fact he’s a cuddly drunk is even greater. Plus his friendship with Rui is adorable. Sullen, jealous Zongyi is somehow adorable and funny and I love it.

THE SPIT TAKE IN E6!!! I’VE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD. NOT AI DI DOING THE EXACT SAME THING THOUGH!!!!

I freaking adore Zongyi’s family

Everyone in this show is gay and I love it!!!

NOT THE FUCKING WOLF!!!! AI DI LOOKS CUTE AS HELL WHILE ZONGYI…..

I want to know who tf hit Zhong Yi over the head WWE style with a chair of all things!!

The scene (You know the scene) between Ai Di and Chen Yi was both beautiful and heartbreaking, the tear from Ai Di, the music, the way it was shot was just beautiful and heartbreaking for Ai Di.

Zongyi’s reunion with his dad and sister was tear inducing and so sweet. The acting done by the actors playing Zongyi’s dad and sister was spectacular. The grief and guilt they portrayed because Zongyi went to prison for his dad to get a new heart was so sad!!!!!

HIS FAMILY IS SO PROUD AND SUPPORTIVE OF HIM I CAN’TT!!!!!

I’m sorry but Zongyi opening a Cat bakery is just everything to me.

Chen Yi being clueless about how to chase and prove to Ai Di he likes him is hilarious and accrete to his character.

I did not expect that sad as hell scene with Chen Dong Yang and Ming Lei. That breaks my heart but it was also sweet in a really sad way.

I NEVER saw that ending plot twist at all! There will be something at the bottom about it because I can’t not post about that scene! You have been warned!




---------- You have been warned!!...


I never saw her being Zheng Teng’s sister!!! I feel bad for her, she loved her brother and just wanted revenge for his death but still!!!!!!!! UHHHHHGGG.

The engagement was so freaking cute and sweet!

The one show that I wished I could go over ten stars!

Just everything about Kiseki: Dear to me is just amazing, the chemistry and how even in the behind the scenes they have chemistry is just amazing. I would like to split this review by couples. The first couple is the main couple which is Bai Zong Yi and Fan Ju Rui has so much chemistry, just from the first episode when Zong Yi thought he had so much bad luck because Ju Rui spawned out of nowhere and literally was so cold to Rui, but once he found out his feelings for him he couldn’t hold back, I was also bawling my eyes out once they got separated from the fight between Ju Rui and Zhang Teng. Next couple is my favorite one which is my fave Ai Di and Chen Yi. I don’t know why, but I’m obsessed with Ai Di he’s so funny and was so real when he was wearing that oversized hoodie and swinging the sleeves around. Also when Chen Yi was literally so in love with Ai Di once he realized that he was gone. Also those scenes were a chefs kiss because it was preformed very well. Also when Ai Di was little red riding hood he was so pretty and adorable in the behind the scenes when he sent the photo to the guy to plays Chen Yi and he ran there to see him. Also those guest roles of the Beloved in the house, plus and minus, and the history 3: make our days count was so surprising that once they popped on my screen I was screaming because I was so surprised. Anyways I’m so sorry that you might have to read this much, but that shows how good this show is, like I was never bored throughout my whole time watching this series. I do wish for a season two or another show for the couples, but other than that I really recommend this series and I definitely think you won’t regret watching this.

I’m Only On Episode 10

I felt the need to write down my thoughts on Kiseki: Dear to Me, before Ep. 11 Drops.

I really look forward to the new episodes, each, and every week. The story is so good, the actors are superb, the characters and story are rich, full, and well-written.

This is one of those series that I wish would never end.

Kudos to all, who were involved with the making of this series, from the author to the director, and from the production company to the cast & crew.

I don’t think I’ll change my mind in the final episodes, I think my feelings and opinions will only be confirmed even more.

Weird tone, poor storytelling, totally unrealistic behavior

It's trying to be a lot of things at once--comedy, romcom, gangster flick--and fails to be any of them.

I don't need everything I watch to be 100% authentic/realistic, but I need SOMETHING that feels genuine or is even remotely convincing and Kiseki just doesn't give me anything. On top of that, everything is extremely rushed to the point of absurdity. If a guy randomly blackmails you to take care of him otherwise he will *frame you for murder,* you're not breathless with attraction in two days. (The framing threat, btw, is unbelievably stupid. Fingerprints on a knife will not single-handedly convict someone with no record, motive, connection to the victim, or presence at the crime scene. Like, be serious.) I can turn my brain off and have fun, but only to a certain extent apparently.

No coherent plot, no chemistry, no clear identity, it's a mess. Ever seen a movie on the Hallmark channel? This is that bad. Though I guess if you think Hallmark is great then you'll love this.

* SPOILER ALERT *
I'm really annoyed that we didn't get 2 episodes this week ( i was really expecting it ), but other than that, i loved it . Was surprised to see the couple from " Be Loved in House " in here but not as surprised as a was to see the main couple from "HIStory 3 : make our days count." I look forward to seeing next weeks episode . I would definitely recommend this series, and i am looking forward to seeing where the main couples' story is going. It seems like it's getting interesting . *EDIT* i clearly only read the synopsis. Otherwise, i would have seen that the HIStory 3 and BLIH couples are credited in the cast, and of course that the series ends in Nov. I'm still annoyed about the 1 episode per week, though

Average story but great acting

Plot is not something new, but both leads have great chemistry which makes it fun to watch, but the age gap (17 year old/MINOR with 23 year old) does make me uncomfortably to an extent - and its what I find A LOT of people are brushing off lol

Age aside and story aside, the cast does a wondful job is saving this drama to the point I’m kicking my feet and giggling during romance scenes.

I have only watched 9/13 as of writing this and episode 9 made me very frustrated with how they decided to add in memory lost on top of having Bai Zong Yi get a brain injury - could have went a different route.

Cringe ? awkward oops ?

Maybe this is not for me.
I have failed to like this.
But I’ll watching it because I get to laugh at how bad it is. Maybe I have slightly high expectations for Taiwanese bl.
First of all, I was not sold on the main couple’s romance. I don’t usually expect things to make sense but aaah this was too much. I had a problem with the way their relationship started, how do I describe, for lack of a better term-so plot deviceish 😂. They caught feelings for each other way too fast. The other guy is 17 but he was the ka one doing the most omg. They were kissing religiously. Also aaah the kisses were not giving 🤣. Maybe I prefer slow burn romance. I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️. I think I like Chinese bl better. Chinese bl usually makes me feel like the people are actually in love and when they finally hold hands or sth it really feels like they’ve earned those moments. But in this one whereby Ep 1 they are already kissing….

And the dialogue omg 😆 it’s too cringey for me.
