Greatly well done.
This came as a surprise to me. I didn't think it would be good. Most of the time kbl are mediocre cause either of bad plot or short run time. But this didn't have that issue. A very interesting plot and good enough run time (although more is always good). I liked the plot. It was something new. Although i would have appreciate they would lay down the rules of the game and made it more game like. Like looking at stats and what not. Because it was kinda of confusing. But other than that very good. I love the chemistry of the main leads. They can act very well.Especially the kisses. It didn't feel awkward and they kissed like any normal couple will do. Which is very rare in KBL. So i am thankful for that. Anyways good watch. I wish in the future we will get a 1 hour kbl. Cause they can do so great even with the time constraint.Was this review helpful to you?
Speechless
I am in awe and in lost of words. Throughout the movie I was suspecting if there was a "monster" and there is one and it is we our self. My words don't do this movie justice. I have only praises for it. I loved it so much and especially when we get to see the pov of all the characters. Just shows us there is more than what meets the eye. The acting is superb. These kids can fucking act. I am just in disbelief how well can they act. At just a young age they can do THAT wow just wow. Amazing movie.Was this review helpful to you?
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A COMEDY??? WHY AM I CRYING???
Man this is false marketing, the trailer made it seem like a comedy and it is but it made me cry so much too. I didn't think I would like a "bro"mance series but I did. It was so good. It made me cry and laugh. I love the stupidness of this movie. It was so out of pocket most of the time. I was laughing my guts out and then it also made me cry my eyes out. I love the character development, from a stupid straight homophobic guy to a caring lovable ally. I truely loved the growth. I also loved the bad guy in this series, boy she was a bad bitch and it all ended on a good note. I really hope if he gets recarnated again they are actually a couple now. What a good movie.Was this review helpful to you?
Short but pretty enjoyable.
This was a really good series actually but it was too short, so as a result it lacked depth. I would have liked it even more if it was a bit longer since due to the short episodes and run time it kinda felt rush. Also they tried to run even a second plot, even though the supporting characters actually didn't have much connection with the main. It felt rather ridiculous that the father who is just as cruel will care about a queer student. But atleast it gave me a happy ending. Even though the father died happily not accepting the fact that his son is gay and Zhi Chen was forced to marry a girl and have a CHILD just to please that old fart smh, we should really normalize leaving these types of parents at old age home the moment we get the chance or leaving and never come into contact again. But all is well that ends well I guess.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet
Pretty cute and sweet bl. Was very loyal to the manga I would say. The characters were cute and had good chemistry. The plot is simple and straight forward. Tale as old as time. Unrequited love. But they did it well. Although one thing I always dread of a bl series was disturbance. Literally everything was disturbing them just as they were having a moment or about to say something important. Their family, friends and even mother nature herself was disturbing them. So kinda annoying but still okay. Overall a pretty cute BL,Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing and Beautifully well done
First of all I would like to say, The rating for this series makes absolutely no sense. So if you want to watch it, watch it. Don't pay attention to the rating cause it is utter garbage. This is one of my favorite series now and I am very picky and have high standard. Now, first of all the plot. It is simple amazing. It is fresh and very interesting. It is the end of the world and you end with your ex until the end, so what you gotta do? I love both Masumi and Ritsu's characters and I love that their character development throughout the series. I love how we got to see their relationship before it got messy. I love how Masumi hated Ritsu guts in the beginning and spoke out how he treated him and how he broke his trust and how Ritsu earned his trust back. I also especially love the sex scenes like OMG isn't that surprising since it is from the one that created pornographer but still, they didn't shy away at all. In fact it made me shy. The acting was amazing. Seto, Nakate and others did a splendid job. Especially Seto. I couldn't watch his previous BL drama since I can't handle cringe but boi can he act. The he expresses grief, anger and happiness just make my mouth drop. Especially this one scene where he reminisces about his past and realized how he wasted it, the expression of regret and also happiness since he have the love his life near him and he wants to enjoy the present was just perfect. The music was also so great. I would be rewatching ten thousand times until I get a second season since I can't say goodbye yet. Definitely a must watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Loved it
This is a sequel to the original pornographer series and in my opinion this is the best out of the pornographer francize. I loved how the pornographer francize are told from the pov of one of the main characters. Mood indigo from the pov of Kido, Pornographer from the pov of Kuzumi and finally here from the pov of Kijima. We finally come to know the thoughts of Kijima, who is such a mysterious character even till now. He tend to keep stuff to himself and has a hard time to depend on someone. We come to know that Kijima is very lonely and afraid. He is afraid and not confident in himself that Kuzumi would need someone like him. He gets irritated and lashed out or runs away without notifying anyone. He also doesn't think about Kuzumi's feeling and he gets the consequences of it. So I really liked it when he went to Kuzumi and apologized to him without expecting him to forgive him and to get back together again. It was really wonderful.I also loved it that Kijima tried hard on his work so that he is not totally dependent on Kuzumi. A really wonderful sequel.Was this review helpful to you?

A masterpiece
This series is perfect in all ways. There are no flaws that I can point out. This is literally a work of art. The story is so mesmerizing and heavy. Even though the shooting only took place in one location and it only the characters talking, they did it so good. This is why you call a character driven story. The story of Wang and In was done so beautifully. Wang is a person that is doesn't have any ambitions and knows what he wants to do in life. But when he found the thing he wanted, he fights for it even it hurts him. It was beautiful seeing his growth. He looked like a cocky person that knows all but as you continue his story, he is actually a person that is lonely and yearning for love. In on the other hand, seems like a person who it intelligent, composed and rational but when hardship arrives he tend to run from it and avoid it. He is a coward and he stayed a coward till the end. It was nicely depicted that some people can't change no matter how much we try. In the end, In stayed in misery and choose to stay in misery. He never even said 'I love you' to wang. though his actions and gestures displayed it so obviously. It was sad to see this ending even thought it was highly predictable from the first episode. But I think it was a nice way to end thing. I am a person that doesn't like sad endings. I don't like reality to come with my fiction, but still I am alright that it ended this way. This series may not be for everyone, since it is a character driven story and only focuses on the characters. So some may not like, but if you're into things that are plot heavy and focus on the characters, with deep dialogs. You should definitely, no you MUST try this. The actors did such a splendid job. Pond is a terrific actor, when he cried, I cry, when he was happy I was happy. He displayed emotions of someone who is cocky but is lonely and yearning for love so well. As well as Nike. You may not notice it at the beginning but when it was an emotional scene, he did it so well. As well Mam, she made me annoyed of her and that was her character so she did a splendid job lol. The music also was spectacular. Like I said this series is a masterpiece so I am just repeating the words now lol. One of the best Bl, which I would say you can't even say it is a bl. More like a lgbt+ series. Beautiful, outstanding and a work of art.Was this review helpful to you?

cute
That was nice. Cute and simple. I guess it was too fast pace imo. The issue with the parents got resolved so fast lol they did a complete 180. These kind of things take time. Also the relationship with the second couple was really fast imo. They also added unnecessary characters like the 'bad guy' from the first episode and also the plot that he was running for school president too. But it is still so good. Watch this if you want no unnecessary drama and only a little angst. Also the ost was fireWas this review helpful to you?
This is literally so good!
I was hesitant at first to watch it cause of the low budget and thought this was just another short poor production bl but I have never been so happy to be proven wrong. Despite the low production, it did so well with the acting and story and also the filming. It tells the story so easily and perfectly. The actors are extraordinary and do justice to their characters. The music was also so good. This is really cute and well done and did the best it could with what it had. I am so mad at myself for not picking it earlier and judging it for its poor production. Literally the best korean bl series and the fact that it is build on its own and had no webtoon or novel to back it up its just amazing.Was this review helpful to you?

Imperfect perfect couple
Its tells how imperfect, what we thought was a perfect couple. Which is realistic i guess, since there is no such thing as perfection. I would say Teh, didn't really cheat since he did all that for a play and didn't really cheat but he did hide it from Oh-aew, which was very bad. I think its normal to have feelings for other people despite being in a relationship but its only bad if you act on it, which teh technically didn't. I don't know, kinda a grey situation but I would like to look at the brighter side and think that they got back together for the better not for worse cause Teh is still deeply in love with Oh-aew and I think nothing can change that.Was this review helpful to you?

Wasted potential
This started great tbh. The premise was nice. The old enemies to friend to lovers trope. The acting was great, ost was great and chemistry between the leads was also great. So why does this has such a low rating. The pacing, story and logic is all over the place. First, this series is so slow, I for one like it better because I watched it late and could watch it all at once but to be one of those people that had to wait for a new episode every week, I would have seriously dropped it. The problem that existed in the first episode became a problem till the last episode. They drag the problem of the main lead for too long. They made them become a couple till the last fucking episode and they thought that they could make up with us with a sex scene lol. I am thirst but not that thirsty to turned a blind eye to ridiculousness. Now the logic with this series or actually main lead makes no fucking sense. So there is rule that there should be no office romance. Stress on the OFFICE pls cause this mf thought that he has the right to ban an romance, doesn't matter if the person they are dating is an employee or not. The lead thinks that he can make them single forever lol logic where? Also the thing that I fucking hated the most was that they did not made the main leads a couple at the end of the episode but they also had the fucking audacity to make Yu Zhen and his ex have more chemistry and couple scenes than Shi lei do in the entire series. This was my breaking point of actually thinking positive about this series. But despite the terrible story and plot pacing. It did manage to make me entertained, laugh and smile at the main leads chemistry. But ehh, another series ruined by terrible pacing. The only reason the rewatch value is high since the main leads chemistry is cute and there were a lot of shirtless scenes and the everyone is attractive.Was this review helpful to you?

If consent was a Bl series this would be it
This series is really a feels-good series. The story is good, talks about how it really is in the bl industry. The characters are all spectacular Gene is a cute, shy and fisty lead and Nubsib is sly, mischief and pretty possessive when it comes to Gene. Watching these characters seem like watching a fox chasing a rabbit lol. And the actors did their characters justice with their spectacular acting. They did well with the age gap by making Gene love Nubsib after he was an adult and not making him knew what he was at first. But at the same time, I did feel like it felt too dramatic for nothing at all. Like when Gene was mad at Nubsib for lying about who he was and I like get it but to move out and crying his eyes out was a bit too much. But its good anyways. Also the way they stress on consent in this series is so damn good. No romanticizing accidental or forced kissing. I liked it so much when Nubsib asked for consent everytime he wanted to do something. The Music is also good. Like I said this is feels good drama since there are many cute moments, so I always watch this series again and again when I get bored or need to smile a bit.Was this review helpful to you?
This movie is just amazing.
To be honest,I am surprised that this movie has such low rating. I was for sure it would atleast have 8.4 or something. This movie just takes words out of my mouth. Its beautiful. It's tell the story of what could have been a wonderful story but it couldn't because of the timing and pressure. Believe me the ending isn't sad. But it's how you interpret it. The emotions of the characters can be felt so deeply in this movie. I legit was about to cry during parts of the movie. Give it a watch if you still haven't.Was this review helpful to you?
Good show
I like it. I do say that i hate time skips so much,so that was annoying. And a huge time skip too. Other than nice pretty nice bl. Good plot,good acting,nice chemistry, didn't feel rush at all and managed to handle the time constraints,good kissing scenes and overall it is really good. KBL keeps exceeding my expectations these days and I am hopeful that it would continue doing so.Was this review helpful to you?
