this show started off nicely only to have not a very good ending
the first two eps of this show.. I loved them a lott.. it had a really good startaltho in the first eps i was kinda annoyed with how taehyun literally accused da yeol kf a rape attempt because taehyun said to the teacher "j said no but he still attacked me".. and j also hated how the adults dealt with this.. like da yeol was literally accused of a rape attempt and he was let off with just a few scolds???.. like wtf imagine if the accusatiin was real??
and the second episode.. j lived how da yeol went to check upon taehyun at his place ??
in the third eps as well the emotions were so nice and u derstandable(altho it took me a while I could u derstand what da yeol was feeling).. like he has always been focused on archery but then taehyun sways him and now he can't focus (prob no 1)..da yeol stilll thinks taehyuns a murderer(prob no 2) and da yeol can't understand the true intentikns of taehyun coz one time hed bully him but the next sec hell act friendly so yeah I loved that too
in ep 4 tbh I didn't understand why taehyun hit himself like that.. but apart from. that we see quite a lotta development between these characters and i loved that
now j didn't understand why taehyun pushed away dayeol like that.. like he said he couldn't accep dayeols lkbe for him coz he was afraid of losing him but then taehyun pushed away dayeol.. like didn't he lose hi. after all sk what's the point??
okay upto this point, (ep 6) everything was greatttttt but then they just had to fuckkk it up with that 2 years gapp whatt the fuckkk!??????? whyyyyyy j mean considering how they two parted ways.. it was impossible for them to reunite and reconcile so quickly but stilll!!!! why the two year gapp?? I hate gaps I don't support em at all... and ep 7 wth?? it felt truly like mehh..and j couldn't connect with it at all.. why?? well because they never showed us how the two characters patched up w eo.. like dayeol said I'll wait for you taehyun and that's it.. what truly happened and how taehyun made up for his bad behavioie was not shown.. directly we were shown that they are sating eo now and are al loveg dovey.. wth!? and i think there was a total 4 year gap...
first when they parted in high school the 2yrs later they met in university then after that 2yrs later they were dating I'm not sure tho...
so yah this is def good (except for the yrs gap)
I wd have rated this a 10 possibly if not for the 2 years gap... n i wd def recommend this

watch this drama without reading the webtoon.. or you'll be disappointed
I had read the webtoon long back.. but decided to rewatch it before starting the drama..so basically this drama is just like most other webtoon-adopted dramas.. fast paced.. too short.. lacks development..
talking about the pace.. at the beginning.. i felt it was too slow.. the at the end it was too fast.. everything just happened too quickly and didn't show any development
also I would like to add... a few weeks ago I watch kBL Why R u?.. j read a review from a person saying that they did not like the korean version because it completely altered the original story.. well at that time (i had not seen the original drama) i was quite against this statement as I believe it's an independent drama and although it's adopted from the thai version.. it does not have to be the same...
But boyy when j saw jazz for 2 drama.. I realised the pain.. I actually liked the og manhewa i gave it an 8.5 .. so i didn't like the fact that the story was completely altered in the drama
1...for instance.. Doyoons character and personality is changed completely... but I like the doyoon in the drama more like he's more energetic and in manhewa he is calm ig
2..the past is changed completely
3...half of the events aren't according to the og webtoon.. for example the kiss??? that wasn't how the events unfolded in the webtoon
but it's alright I guess it does not HAVE to be a carbon copy of the original after all
apart from this talking about the relationship between the couples was kinda... mehh
i mean the second couple was neither given a proper closure.. nor a proper explanation of what exactly their relationship is and why are things messed up between them.. they just gave a half assed commentry(?) on their relationship
for the main couple I don't have much to argue about except that SA topic.. in the webtoon they conversed w each other properly and sorted it out(altho I didn't like the fact that seohoon forgave taeyi so quickly) but in the drama.. it was just 'sorry' and a kiss.. that kiss didn't even feel nice (usually I get butterflies)
also talking about the side couple.. like they had a lot of potential.. but the storytelling and fast pacing just wadted the potential.. both in the webtoon and drama.. well the drama was adopted from the webtoon only so if the story of side couple in the webtoon is bad.. the dramas gotta be bad too.. but i also wonder.. if they changed so much jn the drama then they could have added some changes into the relationship of the side couple too.. so that their relationship could make more sense and seem logical..
so yeah id recommend this if u wanna watch it just as a fling but not if you're seriously wanting to watch something (iff it makes sense.. and dont watch this after reading the webtton coz you'll be disappointed by the drama.. since the webtoon is beter

The stor and all was good....but it kinda jumped at the end...i haven't read the webtokn so idk if they skipped smthin...but a lot of scenes feel cut offthings i diskiled
I really do not understand why muyeong said that he already has a bf when the uthor confessed...(I mean if I use my own brain....muyeong had in mind that Lee and the artist were dating and even tho he already has a partner...the artist was confessing to him so basically muyeong thought that artist is a Playboy so he rejected him..but this part was never mentioned in drama instead..read below.)
in the episode..now idk Korean I was watching sub...so when the author confesses to muyeong, in the sub muyeong says ..."I hope he doesn't know how I feel because I don't want to hurt him"...wtf??? that guy just confessed to you and you are telling if you say I like you too to him he will get hurt.??? what man??
then it's the typical a girl enters and there is a misunderstanding...now I'm not against misunderstandings occuring in drama...but in this case I feel it was carried on for too long which made me kinda irritated
and then in ep 7 ig when the artist confesses...it just felt too weird..like idk how to describe it but I didn't like it
and what I hated the most is the artist telling muyeong to break up with his "boyfriend"...like altho muyeong and junseok weret ctually dating...acc to uthor..they were dating..and it was very wrong for him to confess to muyeong nd practically force him by asking to break up w his current bf..like what kinda dogshit is tht??

this series was doing pretty gud only to fucm everything in ep 9
hear me out.. everything upto ep 9 was just nice.. altho there were some problems and confusion.. like why didn't korn say anything when he was being accused by win in the first ep bcoz of the shares... why did win have so little trust in korn like actually I was veryyy irritated at thi.. like win has known korn for like more that 12 years and he accuses him like that??? unbelievable... and also I didn't like how bitchy wins character was at the beginning like him continuously screaming at his sister was unavceptable but okay... and also I have too bow down to korns patience.. I mean in the 2nd ep he tries soo damn hard to convince win to go w him but he just wouldn't lasn.. if it was me in his place I would hve just left him "do what ever j want" that's wt I wd hve said but okayy...the whole road trip was very enjoyabble... but to be honest I'm not a fan of body swapping like altho it was win on the conscious level.. the body sti belonged to lin.. so all the kisses? well technically it was lin and not win... tbh there is this one manhwa 'at the end of the road' and it's my NO1 fav manhwa.. it also involves body swapping but i dont seem to have a problem w that.. but in case of this series.. I don't like the swapping(prolly coz after all win was in a girls body.. if it was a guy I still wd have liked it maybe?)... but I liveee the fact that even though it was lin's body.. to the audience it seemed like the interaction was between win and korn afterall so I loved that...
and win's doubt wheter korn likes him or lin was also quite understandable... but still it lacked COMMUNICATION like wtf I hatee thisss there was so much to be told.. but none of them said it... and also I don't like how it was alwaysssssssss korn reaching out to win when there were problems never win
that was all the problems upto ep 9 and it was quite alr till then
but the way they fucked it up in ep 9 is just ughhhh... broooooo first of all I don't understand at all why korn agreed to the engagement altho he liked win bro wtff??
like the mother asked if anything happened between them during the 7days ... korn couldve easily told her no and called off the engagement by saying he doesn't feel anything for her.. but no he just said yes to it...
Then I think I kinda get why win supported the engagement.. like he thought his sister liked korn so he just decided to sacrifice himself for his sister (altho it was not a good decision because win knew korn didn't like lin but he likes win.. so it wd make more sense for kornwin rather than kornlin) but ig win didn't care to consider korns feelings)? (I mean I can't blame him since korn agreed to the engagement) but this is soo fucked up like kornn broo just deny and cut off the engagement???
and brooooo that doctor and lin wereee sooo stupid??? like okay the plan was quite nice that they will go along w the engagement and force win to speak out his heart.. but didn't they think it was tok much like to act fake till the day of the engagement???? like what if they had got engaged fr??? and also it wd have been so embarrasing to call off the engagement like that???
and broo that mother was such a bitch.. like tbh since the first eps I thought she was a nice person but no!???????? she was a bitch broo who does that to their own kids... and also tbh I don't understand what made her change her mind so suddenly that she confessed to everything she did... and also I didn't like how she was forgiven soooo quickly like wthhhh
apart from this it was quite nice but mediocre the only nice thing was the 7say trip which again got a lil irritatinh coz of win's whining... but okayyy

okayy i haven't watched UWMA just to be clear
okayy i haven't watched UWMA just to be clearokay so during the very first ep., I thot this drama is def gonna be slow paced but then omggggg the winteam end up doing it in the very first episode.. and i was stunned at that fact. This actually made me change my mind and i thot if it was slow paced.. will they really have sex in the very first ep?? and bruhhh omggg the sex scene of the fist el was too damn hott especially the consent part omgggg "call my hia win" that line was too hot ahhh.. okay but also I don't get the fact why win asked team to call him hia(brother) but let's jst ignore that
now in the second ep.. it was the same slow development but at the end the have sex.. and omg that was hot too.. like the sexual tension between winteam is simply mesmerising.. the way win looks at team.. and the way team breathes heavily omgggggg
then.. oh Lord the way they made us suffer... they showed all those scenes in the first 2 eps.. and the directly in ep 11..kmg omgggg
like I was def expecting there to be more sex scenes but no those scenes were not there and yet this series managed to lure me in (yeah I do like a lotta steamy scenes in dramas)
then the next tfew eps were kjnda boring to watch but at the same time they were quite enjoyable.. like j felt j just sat thru the next few eps.. but then omgg the whole "I realised I have feelinfs for him" part was amazing..
like both were in love w eo but win had this idea of not being able to call anything mine and fear of losing.. and team was simpley unsure of his feelings and finally they spoke out everything in ep 11 and oh boyyy... the acting in that eps was mindblowing... their crying faces seemed soo real. aand the way the told things thru singing was amazingg
tbh at around ep 5 or 6 I was quite determined to give this show a rating of 6.5 le 7 but that quickly changed once I saw ep 11 like that was just ahhhh
and that last ep where everyonnnww gathers together smiling happilg made me cry tears of joy (maily coz of wjnteam) like the way win was looking at teamm and hot they needed up ahhhhhhhh
okayy now the rating I've given was solely based on winteam and not the other couples (ik it doesn't makes sense since I'm rating the drama and the drama includes all the couples sk how can i rate based on winteam ky? well coz they are the main focus of the series.. like the series is mainly about THEM)
TAlkin abt the other characters(no hate to actors)
DEAN.. I'll straight up say I didn't like the acting.. like I just didn't like the way this character carries himself and the way he projects himself in front of people.. alsk the acting of this character also seems a bit off j just plainly didnt like it
PHARM is that shy little bottom acting cute all the time like not exactly "acting cute" but if I'm being honest.. I don't like it when people do this ohh I'm shy ohh I'm gonna look away, up, down coz I'm shy.. oh j gonna act cute in front of my bf/gf(this happens a lot in korean dramas.. that's y I didn't like cherry blossoms after winter) so like if all these things happen I just feel irrotated like brook wthhh and pharm is really that timid, soft, no self respect? kinda character which j hatee(again ni hate to actor coz idk him at all)
Manow.. okay so this character is quite nice outgoing.. making people laugh.. good sense of jimkur and all but the problem is that she is quite annoying and a bit cringey at times.. but id say whenever she comes up altho I get annoyed too much a smile wd still appear on my face coz she's always smiling and also coz of the dialouges(script)
okay now I wanna say smthing about manow pharm and teams friendship.. like tbh I really hated the fact that they kinda hide things from eo.. like how do u call them friends if they have secrets.. like tbh idk if they three were that close of frie ds to share everything but i still didn't like how each of them were trying to keep the fact secret that they have met their lover and always changed the topic when it came up.. (or maybe I'm just kberthinking a d you don't have to share EVERYTHING with your friends ds?)
preuk.. I do t have anything to say abt him.. this character is just there coz of manow.. oh but he's good at hibin advice to win.. and also j noticed this characters way of speaking resembles p'win's way of speaking from f4thailand which I watched recently
ABC were also quite cringe to watch.. overreactimg al the time
TALKING abt Bee and prince their story was okay but Bee omg he acts like a guy mad in love and like I just don't know how tk describe him but anyways I didn't like him either
so yeah I have a lotta negative comments abt the side characters but that's just my opinion nk hate to anyone
.. but yeah if I wd have rated this show based on all the couples it wd have been low.. but I never do that like i personally just focus on the main couple of the show the side ones like if they are not there.. it wouldn't bother me (that's too harshhh)

love? nahh... rather it's obsession
where do i begin?? ohh boi... this is one of the dramas that i would love but also hate it..The reason? well because it is too serious and dark.. whan it's romance I'm more into fluff(it shouldn't be cringe tho) and the dramas which are too serious and dark... make me horrified and traumatised(this could be a lil exaggerated)...
These types of dramas make me think a lil tooo deep about life and that's what I'm scared of the most because when I think deep.. it's too negatively deep
And this drama did that exactly... the two bois ohh Lord.. they just simply loved each other but one was going/about to go? down the wrong lane(sleeping with guysdespite being underage) because he couldn't be intimate with his crush (who is also his best friend) as he wasn't sure if he felt the same way too...
So he decided to satisfy(?) himself using others(?) sounds stupid buymt you'll understand once you're in that situation yourself... that's when the crush(kazuma) stepped in and asked ren to have sex with him instead.. and they did it.. at that very night kazuma became sick and was hospifalized
And Lord the hell ren had to go through criticisms from everyone., facing everything all one, thinking he is the cause of kazumas sickness and possibly death, living all alone in France with no one.. (idk if he would have survived if not for that yagami guy who was also Japanese)
And then they reunite... tackle their past together and live happily ever after..
And also I would like to mention that the scene where the couple talked with the mom was very emotional and i cried after watching that (although j would have liked it more if the mom directly said that she wants kazuma to be with her)
My take on this drama: a drama I would usually avoid but liked it anyways... I hated the acting it didn't feel natural.. I also did not think that it was strong love(as the mother mentions is 8th ep I guess).. rather it was obsession... why I think it's obsession.. well because nothing of the characters I believe never had any exposure to other people.. they were stuck on the past and were not ready to accept anyone else.. (tbh I can't explain clearly why I think it's obsession and not love.. but i feel that it's not love)
would I recommend it??? hell yeahhhh

loved itt
I loved this drama..it's short and sweet...I'm not fan of very long dramas so this one was a short a plus for mefirst of all I haven't watched the original so idk if this one has covered everything from the original drama..but if it did cover everything then hatss off to the maker of this drama since wrapping everything up within 8 eps that too like 20 mins each is no easy jobb
the actors were all nice...the story development was nice as well...just before this I watched "the director who buys me dinner" i didn't like it since it felt rushed and offered no development...while this one being almost the same length as the director who buys me dinner offered great development and the romance also didn't felt like it was just there for fansercice...the kisses ahhhhh gave me butterflies ahhh
but one thing to complain about is..the second couple like I like them but it just felt weird..like sunwoo says he can't date GO because GO is dating dohyeon but at the same time he also kisses him???? like doesn't makes sense...I didn't like that u don't kiss ur best friends mann bruhhh

I'm being lenient with the ratings??
the story was literally FLAT I did not feel any connection between the characters..if the backstory (the 300 yes ago) part of the story was shown first and then the present time .I could've probably liked it better..since I felt everything was too fast without any development whatsoever...and also tbh I was actually supporting Denis and seol (I knew they weren't going to be together at the end but still cuz I felt there was a little more depth to their feelings a ) not to mention I only supported Denis until he became too obsessed to the point of killing the Director
I felt nooo no no emotional connection with the drama probably coz it was too fast paced...I haven't read the webtoon yet so I cannot say if it's adapted nicely or not
I literally fast forwarded thru most of the eps..also first 2 or 3 eps were like literally plain fansercice
moreover the romance between the couple also felt bland with no depth to their relationship whatsoever...I never got butterflies watching them kiss...while on the other hand..seol just supporting and helping Denis through a panic attack felt very nice to watch
usually I'm more interested in kissing scenes and wd blush even at the sight of them holding hands but this time I never blushed??
and the acting wasn't bland but I feel if the story was better or more nicely executed I wouldn't have anything bad to say about the acting because again there was no connettionnnn

I loved this
..I personally liked this show...I heard a lot of people saying that she shd have dated atleast one of the guys but for me it was okay for me..actually I wanted her to not break any of the 4 men's heart but that just wasn't possible...so ig it's ok that she chose noneapart from this I felt that the voice of the character was very low and inaudible at tims
I remember laughing and crying...I cried so hard when the best friend got his heart broken and I literally loved the CEO he was PROB by fav (I'm actually in a dilemma as to who's my fav)
I actually also got emo when all of the 4 guys came running at the police station..like they love her sm but have to get their heart broken

krork
this drama..is adopted from a manhwa...and usually manhwas are super long...so it's just simply impossible for the makers to fir everything into mere 8 eps...and deliver a godd storythe drama feels a bit cut out from between...
the first 2 episodes were literally boring n pointless for me because I just couldn't understand why taesung was behaving in that way...but then later in ep3 the misunderstanding was cleared and it gave reasoning to taesungs actions in tha first 2 episodes...the story upto ep 4 or 5 was okay..
but after that it just feels boring cringey and too stiff...the scenes which are supposed to make u blush actually made me cringe...like that scene where taesung was eating something (cream bun I suppose) and the filling was dripping so haebom just bit the other end to prevent the filling from coming out..it just seemed cringe to me
as for the acting..not to be rude to any of the actors but I really did not like the acting of anyyyyy actor...now i haven't watched other dramas of any of these actors so idk about their overall acting ...but in this drama it was not good
as for the story..as I said already it was adopted from a manhwa..ig the original manhwa has about 140 achapters so clearly...the flow of the story in the manhwa will be much smoother...in the drama I feel...the makers have just simply like..picked some scenes from manhwa which they thought wd serve as gr8 fanservixe and they just put it up there in each episode due to which everything felt weirdly cut off
so i wd not suggest watching this drama...you should just go for the webtoon because I feel the webtoon or manhwa serves a lot better than the drama...

i have some spoilers
okay so i did like itspoilerssss
though the ending was not really good.....like yk the guy just dies at the end because he didn't want to drink choi's blood for the fear of hurting him...but mannnn Choi coul have used something to make a tiny cut on his finger then he could have offered his blood to junho this way junho wouldn't actually harm him right...but no Choi didn't do that i mean if it were me i would have at least tried something....but still I didn't like the ending but it's not like it was not suitable...I'm giving this a 9 but not because of the ending but because I think that everything was a little fast paced....like it it was not so fast paced i definitely would've given it a 10..
