I love every second of it.

For those who are wondering, this story is a *happy ending*

It's like the ITSAY of Japan, but this time, there are no deep conflicts. There are no conflicts about being both men, or that it is embarrassing, etc. Just plain love, and making sure of cherishing each other everyday.

I love that there is no major conflict to the story. Just two people discovering how to take care and express their love for each other. It is sweet in a sense that there is clear communication with each other and expression of their feelings.

One thing that I mind though is that it is short. It is just 4 episodes. However, the story concluded it well. I just hoped that their future lives are discussed more and their relationship defined more. Also a conclusion of the school festival. I would love them to have more time with each other.

I think the overall theme of this series is just plain love. Just love. Whether its the side couples and the main, they just showcase plain and simple love, and I love every second of it.

I got ants all over me because of the sweetness

For those who are wondering, this serie is a *happy ending*

Things I like about this serie:
- Handsome actors especially Naoya. Such an ikemen.
- A very sweet and attentive seme. No red flags whatsoever.
- Tsundere bottom x pursuing top
- Top notch comedy.
- Followed the original to almost a T.

Things that I somehow didn't like about this serie:
- the randomness of scenes, especially in episode 7 and 8.
- The lack of skinship? Which opens new plot points if there will be a season 2. It's just, for readers who plan to watch this, just keep in mind that that this is a budding love. So there's progress, but do not expect too much.

Cinematography.
- Angles are very nice.
- There is a cloudy and dreamy visage all throughout the series, which makes it a bit hard to view some of the details in the series such as the surroundings. But I guess they did that to limit the part where there is not much of a population, I guess?
- I really love the voice overs and the soliloquy of the characters. It also presented both sides of the main roles which gives a better understanding of the story.

All in all, this is a sweet and good watch. I kept laughing out loud and giggling. I need a Naoya in my life too hahaha. If you liked Takara and Amagi and Cherry Magic, you will definitely love this too. So give it a shot!

Two words to describe the whole series: Very Cool

For those who are wondering, this series is a *happy ending* for 2 out of 3 couples.
TAGS: Violence, BDSM

One thing that I really love about this series is the fight scenes. The camera tricks and the martial arts of the actors are very notable and clean. Though the explosions are a bit childish for the lack of a better word.

The love scenes are almost soft porn as most love scenes shows they are somehow naked which gives the feeling of lust and love at the same time. There is a ton of sexual tension in the lovescenes, but still makes it to a point that the love story does not hinder the flow of the story much.

Now the flow of the story is very smooth...up until the last episode which really confused me alot. There they presented new plot points that made the story confusing. Even right now, I still dont understand who isnt lying: Korn or Vegas's father.

I guess there are a lot of points in the story left unanswered to make sure to pave the way for season 2.

Overall, I just want to say that I did not regret watching this series. I am a bit adamant to watch it because I dont watch shows where they physically hurt their partners, but this show is bearable in that area. Add to that that the plot is very immersive and makes you want to watch more.

A very good recreation of the short series

For those who are wondering, this series is a *happy ending*
TAGS: Supportive parents, Cheating, College life, Poor x rich

First off, in this recreation, Vee is still a bastard. This time he is shameless as well hahahaha. But Yin's acting improved a lot. In the 3.5-episode series, Yin is overpowered by War's excellent acting but in this one, his facial expressions are more expressive as well as his diction.

For me, Nuea is still the best for Mark hahaha. Nuea is such a sweet guy and Yihwa is still so savage.

I didnt like that they removed James role as a supportive bestfriend, but I liked that the seniors took good care of Mark. Ploy is a great actress as well. This time, the first episodes didnt made it seem that she was already cheating. She looks so innocent.

I am very glad about the cinematography of this series. It is almost like ITSAY when it comes to lighting and camera angles. Everything is screenshot worthy. Add to that the length of each episode which really explained the missing parts of the short series.

Better than what I thought.

For those who are wondering, this is a *happy ending, *

Let's start first with things that I didnt like about the series, because it is soo few:
- When I first watched this series back in 2020, I stopped at Tossara because I didnt like the premise of Love Mechanics much, but when I am glad I watched it now. Though I dont think I like their ost compared to how much I liked Tossara's.
- Vee is an a*hole. I do not condone cheating, even if your other partner is cheating too. End things properly first. Mark needs a ton of hugs in this series.

Now to things I really love about this series:
+ Supportive friends. Get a friend like James.
+ Expressive acting. Maaaan, War can act with just his eyes. I really felt bad for him and at the same time find him sooo adorable. We must protect him at all cost.
+ Chemistry between leads.


Storywise, it all revolves the dorm, the bar and their love story. Not much regarding them being both engineers, which is good. It gives a different kind of feeling. I think overall, this part is better than Tossara.

A hit of Nostalgia

*happy ending for all three couples*


Lovesick is one of my first BLs that I watched and has been my most favorite thai BL so seeing PhunNoh together again, together with the ost, I started feeling happy and nostalgic. Coupled to that that here, PerthSaint is together, which makes it a great watch as they are not together in LBC2.

Another thing that made it great is the acting. Perth is number one in this series for that. You can really feel the distrust and love he felt for Saint here. I also love that it seems nothing changed to the PhunNoh couple. They still hug the same and Phun still talks like the student secretary that he is. It's like Lovesick just ended yesterday.

2Wish on the other hand, showcased a different set of acting in which they seemed to have reversed roles and attitude compared to TinCan which made it a breath of fresh air.

All in all, it is a good watch if you love each of their own parent series and missed them so much.

Shi de is stupid---stupidly in love

*happy ending for both couples*

Again, Yu's acting here is superb. It is the very reason I will rewatch this series. The anger, his love and his longing are deeply felt in his acting. However, the misunderstandings that led to the conflict are very...uhm stupid. Especially Shi de. I cant understand how he could do such a thing to Shu yi for 5 frickin years and act as if he cant tell the reason, only to break his promise. What were all those years are for?

Also, one of the reasons I rated this lower than season 1 is because of the second couple. I really dont understand it. The series made it seem like people with affective disorders are heartless, but it isnt so. They could also switch to happiness too. And not just mirror someone's feelings. The second couple's conclusion are also quite confusing.

I would rewatch this only for the first couple and Shu yi's dad which is really hilarious hahahah. Love him.

A must watch

*happy ending*

No words can describe how much I am amazed by this show. Yu's acting is the best in this series. I keep screaming whenever I hear him speak Nihonggo only to discover that they casted a Japanese-taiwanese actor. I really felt and seen how he slowly fell in love with Shi de and boy he falls hard! I really like that Shu yi is very upfront of his feelings to Shi de once he fell in love. He is very straightforward and very cute!

Shi de on the other hand is very crafty. Very reminiscent of my younger self. Anything to get that chance! Hahaha.

I hope they could've increased the moments where they ended up together. But overall the story flowed really smoothly, and it leaves a feeling in your heart of how you wanted to finally fall in love.

Love love love this series soo much that I wanted it to be longer.

Not enough time even though it is long.

*happy ending*

This is one of the longest BLs I have watched and I was excited to watch it.

What I love:
- No angst upon heartbreak. I love how they all still remain friends in the end.
- I love how the bij girl turned over to a new leaf and became friendly.
- I love the acting of the actors and the cinematography of the show made me felt like it is just like other korean shows. Just simple love story.

What I didn't like:
- There is not much screen time for the real couple in the series. It is more on the time to confuse the viewers to this other guy. Making viewers think that Tae kyung will end up with this guy, but he didnt. Which left a bit of bad taste to me. And because of that, I feel bad to the other guy who really ended up with Tae kyung.
- the time where Tae kyung fell in love with the other guy and getting over his heartbreak is so short as well. It felt like the other guy became the 'second choice' rather than 'he has been with me all this time' choice.

The feeling of longing is purely felt

*happy ending*

This story is a breath of fresh air. I like how it shows the difficulties between choosing the person you like and your own responsibilities. Han tae joo took too long to notice his feelings and Hye mi became the 'mating horse' for our couple.

I feel that this series could have benefit from more episodes. The ending is too rushed, too short, and some of the conflict raised is still not solved. They just met in japan and then it ended like that with a kiss.

I guess its up to our imagination how they really ended. Still the cinematography of this series and the acting are top notch. This is a must watched for those looking for some lighthhearted angst of a love story.

Slow-burn romance

*happy ending*
*supporting parent on one side*

What I like:
I love the acting and the cinematography of the show. The enemies to lovers trope is also a trope I really like, add to that that they also live together ❤️

I also really love Shi lei's mother.

What I didn't like:
Honestly, the seme of the second couple looks a lot like my college crush so I had a hard time watching their part. I had to skip a lot of their scenes hahahaha.

What could've made it better:
I also didn't like the appearance of the ex of yuzhen and yu zhen being so inconsistent about his 'rules' so I hoped yu zhen had a more definite reason for the no dating policy and he should've taken better care of shi lei more.

The chemistry brought the series to success

*happy ending*

This series is a good combination of romance, action and drama. And I loved every inch of it.

The main characters had the best chemistry, though at times Pond's face is a bit luckluster especially during serious conversations.

The other characters are very well casted. I loved every character, even the villain for their magnificent acting. I was deeply immersed to the story because of it.

The soundtrack is bomb. I had to save the whole album of the series in spotify because there is no song I didn't like. Highly recommended playlist.

The cinematography is chef's kiss. The color scheme is a mellow brown which gives off a feel of 90s kind of show.

The story may need a few tweaks though. There are parts that may seem like a stupid decision for the characters to do. Also, Palm never got out of his 'responsibility' love for Nueng which is kinda sad for me. I hope he learns to love himself as well and be spoiled to Nueng.

All in all, this is one of the best series created by gmmtv and a great series for PondPhuwin ❤️
Definitely a must watch!

The story needs a little bit tweaking to match the perfect chemistry

*happy ending*

First of all, the main couple has fire chemistry. Even the kissings are so natural. Yang is also a great actor. I loved his crying scene where I can really see his lips tremble as he breaks down.
I hated phumjai's personality at first. The series being 8 episodes helped a lot in me not hearing another 'Tammy' come out in Phumjai's lips.
Tammy is soo beautiful, I really liked how her character is portrayed.
And, yes, my baby Ngern. I missed him so. That fanservice in episode 8 is chef's kiss hahaha.
Also, his acting is still top notch. I even cried in their breakup scene rather than the YangPhumjai one. Hoping to see more of him in the future.

All casts are really well casted and great that I felt somewhat disappointed that the story didn't utilized it more. Episode 8's first few minites was weird and ridiculous. The feeling of 'responsibility' towards money is also a bit stupid. Hello? There are rich parents over there. Can't even care to tell them that their son is kidnapped? Hello? Still owning it to responsibility? Urgh.

Still, I loved the OPness of Ngern's character. I hope they elaborated more on that as well and also Phumjai's chinese.

Casting and acting is really great on this one. I really liked that they really are speaking in chinese most of the time. I really felt the 'love in translation' part and that made this series great.

Hope they cast these actors in a more thought of series next time. Will still rewatch this though.

A show that showcased their growth in acting

*happy ending*

We have been thirsty in having MaxNat in their own series and this show delivered it quite well.
Nat, especially, showed the utmost growth in acting that most of the times in the series, I cried with him. There are also times that his acting is so great that Max's acting look subpar. There was even a time that I shouted that Max should step up his game.
Nat has delivered his character well. I really felt Diao's intelligence in Nat's eyes. He is so expressive that you can see it it the screen when Diao realizes something in the conflict.

I really love Diao's power bottom personality. He is really steadfast about his ideals and what he wants and he doesn't waver in fighting for it. He is very upfront in showing love as well that it shocks Yi a lot of times.

The NC scene, especially the uncut is chef's kiss. There is still that odd feeling I always feel when watching MaxNat's NC scenes because of how really young Nat looks. But they did the mature scenes really well and realistically too.

The story, for me, is a 100 times better than cutie pie. It makes a lot more sense too. Cutie pie's conflict is not too big compared to this one. The flow and pacing is also quite well. And I understood the reasons for everything except why Diao still does not want to ride a car except if he is with Yi. When reading the comments in youtube, I can see that they did the novel portrayal very well. Though if you compared it to their cutie pie story, there will be a lot of discrepancies like lele and the timeline. But a lot said that they understand YiDiao's story more in cutie pie because of this series.

I loved watching this whole series. It is very funny, romantic, and well executed. Cant wait for MaxNat's next series.

I guess miscommunications works well with these two

*happy ending*


I think they did a great job recreating the manga. They really did well in acting the tense scenes and making the love scenes seems sensual but without showing too much.

The actors are very handsome as well. Though i dont know if it is their acting or the leads' characters that are the problem. I think their characters are too static and flat. I am kind of sad that the series only showcased the part where there is not much development in their relationship and in their own careers. This series became somewhat like an introduction series ofr a future season 2, if there will be one.

I hope i can see growth in the next season in their characters as well as the actors' acting.
I still love though that their kisses is not a peck but also not a very deep kiss. I can feel them being comfortable with one another.

Must watch BL i might say. ♥️
