Wednesday was the best couple

Monday:
The actors were cute but their story was odd at worst and forgettable at best.

Tuesday:
The actors did the best they could with what they were given.

Wednesday:
I love this couple so much which is surprising given it's a friends with benefits to lovers story but done really well.
Also First did amazing as Kaeng.

Thursday:
A corny but very cute & wholesome boy falls for ghost story.

Friday:
Is this even a relationship?
Is his ex going to haunt them forever?
Is he still in a relationship with his deceased ex & his current bf?
It was just sad & doesn't look like it will last long.

Saturday:
Think '13 Going On 30' bl story. It was cute. The couple was adorable and I generally liked their story.

Sunday:
This couple was so cute. Their story was very simple but healthy and the actors did well.
I love Nat as Nuea's style. He looked so good.

Honorable mention:
Kaeng(First) & Nuea's(Nat) outfits. They both looked so good. I could barely recognise them in other shows.

My expectations were low but holy crap

Nine is a sexy asshole & cheater.
Daonuea is indecisive & overreacts.
Tee is a manipulative cheating slimeball.
Ice is kind of a nothing character.
Praew was unnecessary.
I loved CandyBoat. Faults & all.

It had good moments but those were few & far in between esp for 13 eps.

All the couples deserved one another excl. Tee coz fxck him.

Tee gives me the ick coz of the way he seems to prey on the young & naive.
Also he's a scumbag that stole Nine's crush by pretending to be him the day he lost his mom.
And his special episode did nothing to redeem him.

The show could've been better. A lot of it was basically an ad like there was a whole episode that was basically an hour long amusement Park ad.
I hope I get too see the main ship act in something better together. Their acting is believable and they have great chemistry

I know many people for reasons unknown to me had high expectations for this show because of the prologue episode released a year earlier but I didn't. It was just meh & the chemistry between the two leads hard carried & that problem continued into the series.
I liked the osts👌🏾

The series description:
"Bossy and self-centered Nawee is an heir to a fortune. He suffers from serious social phobia due to his childhood trauma. But that was before he met the gentleman designer Aioun. As the two get to know each other, the mutual attraction becomes undeniable".
I have never read a more accurate description because that is basically all that happened.

Oh? That description doesn't tell you how, when or why they fell in love or why they like each other?
Well... Neither do any of the 8 episodes of the series.

Good actors & great chemistry but they forgot the plot. A bunch of stuff just happened in between two people meeting and apparently falling for each other.

It wasn't awful but it wasn't good either.

Sichol stole the show. He was the best character. I love him.

It was going relatively well... until the end

Ep1-6:
Very cute office romance between a new employee and a senior he has long admired. Watching them fall in love was, fight for each other & better themselves because of the other's influence was so precious. The episode 6 ending was really good & fxck Benji.

Ep7-8:
All over the place plot filled with miscommunication and misunderstandings and a quick cute, but still unsatisfying ending. Kinda wished it had ended with ep 6 since it seems like they didn't know how to end the series. The last 2 eps brought the show's quality down a lil but it was still an okay watch.

Interesting concept

It was cute, wholesome & short.

The concept of falling in love coz of 8.2 seconds of eye contact is interesting.

The mc is adorable and I like that he fell for someone who pursued him in a similar way he pursued others.

Using desserts to solve problems is just so adorable.
I also liked learning about different desserts.

My only complaint is that no one finished the amazing desserts he made for them.
Like imagine someone making you a delicious dessert that relates to your problem to help you & you don't finish it!?!?

I also liked finding out why his secret admirer fell for him. It was so wholesome🥺

I wish there was more. It was so very short🧍🏾‍♀️

A Great Adaptation

This was recommended to me and I am glad to say that I enjoyed this one a lot. It also inspired me to read the manga & I have to say that is honestly a really good adaptation. One of the best I've seen. There were scenes and dialogue taken directly from the source material. It is brilliantly done.

I love that the misunderstanding & their awkwardness were understandable. It was not just a weird plot device, it was a well written plot point. It was written in such a way that you actually understood where they were both coming from & it made sense.

Also for some reason it looks like it was shot in the 1980s and not 2015/16😭

Anyways, it was really good and I recommend it.

The Plot almost ruined it but chemistry saved it.

Summary:
▪️Acting:
Ranges from good to great.
▪️Chemistry:
Fantastic. Main reason why it's so popular. All 3 couples were great.
▪️Cinematography:
Ranges from good to beautiful.
▪️Plot:❓
▪️Story:
Overall good & another reason why it's so popular.

This show has a simple plot that was somehow still lost. Like they found it again towards the end but it was definitely lost for a while in the middle. This is the one time where telling a cliché story would've been the best course of action that would've resulted in a good plot.

Still the story & chemistry are the main highlights and in those two aspects one will very likely not be disappointed✌🏾

Underwhelming

If I had to describe this show in one word it would be 'underwhelming'.

Thats the general feeling I had watching most of it.

I wanted more from the characters & the story. I wanted to love this series & enjoy it like many others but all I feel is underwhelmed.

From ep1 until like ep7, the 3 main characters had this all encompassing aura of sadness around them. Even when the smiled, laughed or genuinely enjoyed themselves it all still felt so sad.
In that sense alone, I found it so overwhelming/stifling.

Xu Qizhang's bandmates and mom were honestly a breathe of fresh air & most of my favourite scenes from this series involves them.
My favourite character is definitely Xu Qizhang's mom. I actually grew to kinda care about her more than any other character in the show.

Character descriptions:

Qizhang - word vomit.
I've never seen anyone who offers up so much information that wasn't asked for. You could ask him a yes or no question and he'll tell you his whole life's story😭

Guang - shallow.
I don't know much about him other than he has strict parents, is best friends with Ray & likes Qizhang. I don't know what he likes, dislikes or even who he is. I sympathise with him because of his situation but I couldn't connect with him as a character.

Ray - frivolous

He is the most interesting & unique character in the show... on paper. The two best friends suffer from the same character flaw. We didn't actually get to learn much about them. Why was he dressed like woman for his ex? Does he like dressing prettily? Who is he?

Jian - love interest.

That's kind of it. He is Ray's love interest and is in a band. How old is he? What are his interests? Why's he in a band? Why does he like Ray? None of these are answered.

Also Ray & Jian's first kiss was laughably awkward & Idk that was the intention.

Basically I can relate to what they're going through and I can even relate to what they're feeling but I just struggle to relate to these characters. Their lack of depth leaves me with nothing other than sympathy for them.

It was promising but ultimately underwhelming.

Leia Mais

I watched it mainly because I didn't like how season one ended and because the leads are nice to look at.

Did it improve at all ? Not really but it didn't really become worse so that is something, I guess.

It was fine. Meh at best and boring at its worst.

I can completely understand why it's entertaining for some even though it is painfully average & just not good for most because it is painfully average.

In summary:
The story? Still meh.
Acting? Has not improved.
Chemistry? Has not improved.
Characters? Have not improved.

Still extremely overhyped for such an average show with leads who have no chemistry. It does not deserve to be as popular as it is.

Cute & Simple

Not much to say.
It was a cute,innocent & simple love story.
I like that they ended up on a more equal footing before dating, that was nice.

This was one of the first Korean BL I had ever watched. It did not wow me but I also cannot say that it was a disappointment.

I liked both main characters and though not amazing, I would definitely recommend it to those who like watching something easy and cute.

In conclusion:Not revolutionary or really that memorable but it did the things that needed to be done to further the Korean bl industry. 👍🏾

Definitely a guilty pleasure BL

Definitely my guilty pleasure😭

Tutor & Fighter were my babies😭

BL has a tendency to make their innocent character almost childlike so I appreciated that Tutor's character was not given that treatment. He was more "innocent" while still feeling like an actual varsity student and as mature as someone his age should be.

I liked the main couple but Tutor & Fighter really stole the show for me. Their chemistry, relationship dynamic and love story was well done even with Covid messing up what was supposed to be the original storyline giving them more screen time than was initially planned since they filmed their scenes first.

I've never hated a show more

So... It's not done airing but I give up.

I could deal with the bad acting & bad writing, lack of chemistry, nonsensical plot & miscasting of the mafia lead for the first few episodes coz it was so bad, it was actually enjoyable BUT now it has the audacity to also be boring.

I just need to stop watching coz I'm genuinely starting to hate this show😭

How is an episode about manipulation, kidnapping & b0mb scares BORING? HOW?!?!? 😭

I don't care for this couple at all.
All I wanted was to know that Baiboon is legal & to see Kim go back to work. ✌🏾
