Well, this was interesting.
I am new here and I caught my first series just about 3 weeks ago, quite by accident actually.
I won't mention it here since I am not sure of it is appropriate to do so.

But needless to say, I thought the first series I watched was cute and had me blushing and giggling like a schoolgirl?/schoolboy? even though the show was apparently not that great.... then I read up and there was My Engineer under the recommendations list and needless to say, I am beyond hooked. I watched all 14 episodes of this in just two days. I am exhausted but SO happy.

Go Team RamKing.

So sad about the whole thing with Ryan though I have only discovered the whole business now... Mek and Ram are the cutest guys on the show.

Plot holes but so worth it.

This was really cute, basically just fluff if you think about it.
Not going to lie there are a lot of plot holes but Mork is a really adorable character. He really does have that "thing" that just makes it impossible to NOT love him. There were also some continuity errors but most pass by without too much notice.
Some of the conflict in the show seems a little bit ridiculous but other moments between the two main characters really make up for it.
It was nice also to see a show that is not necessarily set in the school for the majority of the show.
And the sound track is lovely, especially the main theme.

Awesome but that ending...

This was really good show. I loved the acting and the chemistry really appealing though I did find Type to be somewhat difficult facial expressions, it was all a little bit too Kristen Stewart. The rest of it was really good, I especially enjoyed the character Techno, he was a really good character that gave off a pretty good balance to some of the seriousness of the show. Also it was a lot more sensual than most of the BL I have watched since starting this.
The soundtrack was amazing as well, will definitely be listening to some of it. I did find the ending a bit lacking, considering all that the main antagonist did I would have expected at least an arrest.

You never forget it

Okay, so I've read a few reviews and in general there seems to be consensus that this show started of really strong and then sort of faded away as the episodes progressed. But this is/was the first BL I ever watched and it got me totally hooked, the characters are silly and relatively likable. I found the conflicts in the serious to be somewhat unreasonable but since watching more series I have noted that that is a relatively normal thing, suppose it is just my western viewpoint of it. There were some small plot holes and continuity errors, but still is and always will be my favourite BL series.
