A must watch
To the non teumes, this is the first web drama of a 6 months old rookie K-pop group called Treasure. Teume is the fandom name of Treasure. The story revolves around how two brothers who are twins, got in to the high school and got closer to the famous boys. Yes this drama has the same cliche BOF plot but you'll definitely enjoy it. Chemistry between who played as main leads is really good. Note that they are not actors and just debuted. Give it a try.Bonus: They didn't make anyone play the girls role. This is an all boys drama. It has BL vibe more than some actual BL dramas xD

Not your typical vampire
First of all, the guy who played the character of the vampire I'm not gonna believe until someone shows me his blood test report that he ain't a real vampire. Maannnn he looks like a real vampire.Okay so moving on to the actual thing, I'd like to start with the bad things. It was rushed. Like wayyyy more rushed comparing to any other Viki series. 11 minutes for 7 episodes and 18 minutes for the last episode wasn't really that less. Even if we eliminate the timing of intro and recaps we still get around 80 minutes. And the storyline wasn't strong at all. Not gonna lie, me being a Shadowhunters fan is kinda offended. Who are into vampire and shadow world thingy would agree with me too. And since you are reading after seeing the spoiler tag, yes he died. I mean the vampire died. Vanished just like that due to what some vampire anemia? No silver sword, no high exposure of UV ray, nothing. Also this vampire of ours walks freely in the sun. Among all the things that couldn't fit, the most important thing wasn't found again, in a KBL. CHEMISTRY. Well I don't think that's surprising anymore to us, right?
The good thing is both of the actor are really good at acting. The vampire one even looks like a vampire. But I think they just don't go with each other. Or maybe needs to work more on building their chemistry. They have got potential just needs to push themselves more. Also the OST is really good.

14 hours of torture
I don't know what is more absurd. The drama romanticizing stalking or the so called BL lovers rating it 10 to pull it out of the bad rating. This is 2022. Falling in love with your stalker is not cute anymore. This is not a Wattpad story. A whole series with full production house. How did they make something like this? And all the 10 ratings givers saying "love is for everyone " multiple times. Please consider consulting a psychiatrist nearby. You have got some serious issues.And the acting. I don't think I saw this kind of acting even back in 2014. They portrayed the gays in very stereotypical way. Anyone except fetishizers would find it appealing.

Why should you give this series a chance: LeoPob
From the ratings I have given and the title I have put it might contradict each other. But as I was rating the whole storyline and whole cast that is why it's like that. Coming to the main point why you should watch this series, the second couple, the second couple, the second couple. They are evey much new to acting comparing to the main leads but they did a great job. Their character development, how their relationship went, how Leon changed everything was adorable well, until ep 12. But it's still worth it.LeoFiat pairing itself is not bad at all. But their understanding and the mutual relationship is not something you'd want in your life. Give the series a chance for LeoPob.

BL watchers need to stop thirsting for intimate scenes only
If you haven't watched it and going through the reviews first, don't let the ratings disappoint you. It deserves at least a solid 8. -2 for still pretending like gay couples don't kiss or have s€x.This drama is based on a manhwa. I am a manga/manhwa/manhua reader. There's only very few time when a live action matches with the original one. But this one!! The actors actually did better than the manhwa. Their chemistry was way better than the manhwa. The director reduced the assholeness of Taehyun a lot. The angst was on point. But people are only mad because there is no kiss scene? Have you seen them hugging? That was way intimate than a kiss. Yes a simple kiss wouldn't have hurt. But that's how k-media is. And I heard these two are idols. So it's more understandable.

A group of social reformers but comes in gay
Before I say anything about the series I want to acknowledge their makeup team. That might be weird but it'll be a crime not to. Their whole makeup team did an amazing job on the whole cast. You can even see their pores and bumps and acnes which is not a common thing to see in Thai dramas even east Asians dramas in general which eventually made everything look way more realistic. Kudos to the whole team.Then I'll come to the music. (I know I'm weird but it needs to be addressed) Every single song, music, tune they used for so perfectly to every single scene. The oyeoyeoye tune is still ringing in my ears. Again a 10 on 10 performance.
Then comes CHEMISTRYYYYY. OffGun have always had a great chemistry but in not me they outdid themselves. There wasn't a single awkward moment between them. Even between the second couple. It just happened so naturally. I hate to compare things but for sure it made me feel like watching western tv shows. No awkwardness and all. The straight couples were kinda off though. Black/Eugene and Gram/Eugene but I think it was tolerable somewhat. Usually it's opposite. The direction was so smooth that it made me feel I'm watching them in front of me.
The story was something new for a BL drama. Not an unique plot obviously but not "not enjoyable" as well. Who doesn't enjoy evil rich exploiters getting smashed. Overall it's 10 on 10.

Very nice chemistry and acting but Mame as usual being "ugh"
Let's just agree with one thing first. They need to stop giving this woman anymore chances to spread and normalize her bs views on consent.The cast save the whole thing. We don't get to see BL actors being casually involved with each other when they are in a relationship. Usually it's one one stiff one who doesn't know what's happening and the other one carrying out the intimate scenes. But the actors in this series definitely knew what they were doing. When you are in a relationship you also adore the person. The affection, the love, the adoration they portrayed them really well. They even delivered the cringest dialogues smoothly. Which only says their quality and capability as actors. Really appreciation worthy. Hope they'll get to play series with better storylines.
Now coming to the storyline. WHY? JUST WHY? Mame needs to stop writing stories about things she doesn't understand. Not caring about consent is not sexy. Exploring sexuality is not a crime. You don't call someone stupid just because they are not gay. In Mame's universe everyone is gay. Even if they haven't figured out yet, they are supposed to return the feelings of the main lead. What a bs concept. She somehow wrote Sky's story less offensively. Or maybe the production changed it because knowing her she would have glorified it too.
In conclusion give the series chance for the actors. I have skipped multiple scenes because of the dialogues. Like I finished 13 episodes in 5 hours I guess.

CEO Singto
I'll get directly to the points.Things I liked about this series:
• CEO, hot headed, grumpy, sometimes blushy and shy Singto. Man my boy looked drop dead gorgeous.
• The plot is different from every BL now and then. There was no typical engineer and architecture college student thingy
• Yacht, the actor who played Than got a different role from playboy, playful p*rn addict college student what he always plays. He has got a lot of potential. They need to use him well. He can nail a couple role as well.
• The friendship between Maze, Than and Tae ( I think her name was not exactly Tae. Please excuse my forgetful mind. The female friend of them). Usually the female characters are portrait as immature delusional shippers but she was childish yet mature at the same time.
• The details they put regarding art.
• The bucket thing in the rain.
• The relationship between Maze and the rooster.
Things I didn't like:
• They dragged the jealousy thing more than it should have.
• Them not talking things among themselves like the adults they are.
• The relationship between Maze and Neung. It wasn't not that deep to begin with and shouldn't have dragged this much.
• The actors who played as a couple ending up as a couple irl might encourage the BL fangirls think that their ship is real.
Overall it was a good watch. I'd probably watch Singto being grumpy over and over again.

2014 quality series not 2022 and again no chemistry
Firstly, I'd like to start with the negative things like I always do. It was dragged more than it should have. The whole Por cheating thing should have ended within two episodes also they could have wrapped the whole series within highest six episodes. Both of the main actors are really good but there was no chemistry between them. This was so 2014 quality series. Not 2022.Now coming to the good things. I really loved how they addressed the working class in the series unlike other BLs where all of them are rich kids. I also love how they portrayed Mork's uncle and his partner's love story. They have been together for a long time leading a normal working class life which was really admirable. Usually we get the rich-poor conflict thingy. They represented the everyday scenario of a normal person. The actor who played Mork has potential of doing more than just a medicore character. He is not only good looking but also an amazing actor. I hope they'll cast him in series with better storyline and chemistry with the other actor.

Haven't seen much BLs with this much professionals
Not really a review but a small rant about how I loved their acting and chemistry.The main thing that usually lacks in BLs is chemistry and eventually it hampers their overall acting. But kinn porche the series outdid everything that has ever made. This is the standard now. Nothing less will be enough from now on. This isn't about being 18+ only. Many people get it wrong that people loved it because of the adult contents. No, it's not. It's because of how they delivered the adult contents. There were several failed attempt at making 18+ contents. Most of them end up being cringe but this series had all the professionals in a nutshell. Let them be mafia they nailed it, let them be cute they nailed it, let them be romantic they nailed it, let them be sexual they nailed it again. Also how they portrayed the whole Vegas Pete thing. That is very much real and that's a real life issue. There wasn't a single negative thing that could be said about the main characters' acting and how they delivered the whole thing. Even taikhun's annoying character was on point. Kim Chay were off time to time but considering their screentime, it was doable. Even Erika who was just handling guns all over the series did great with that shooting at ep 14. Pol Arm were a perfect comedic duo. I wish we had Ken and Big till the end. Also, the guy who played Big is really really pretty. The story wasn't that much of a thing if you notice. But it is still worth watching again and again because like I said they set a STANDARD.
Also they have my favorite BL dad and Porsche has an eye blinding smile ?

Chemistry chemistry chemistry
The main thing that lacks in majority of the kBL dramas is chemistry between the main leads. Sometimes the plot is quite good but their chemistry ruins the whole thing. Majority of the time it's only one of them being spontaneous and the other one just stands still. Semantic error actors did a great job potraiting their characters really well. Only to my star and light on me characters had this level of chemistry. No one could've done a great job as Sangwoo other than Jaechan and surprisingly I liked the live action Jaeyoung more than the manhwa. It's a must watch for BL lovers and good quality drama lovers in general.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute and refreshing
I am totally completely in love with Prince. That guy nailed his role. I loved this one more comparing to DaoKluen story. It was simple. But cute. Good for binge watch. The guy who played Prince did a very good job. I get he didn't play anything before. But it wasn't noticable at all. He totally nailed his character. Also, in this part I love how the friends are matured than DaoKluen's. Well obviously because they are literally mature than them but I am saying as in they give mature suggestions to their friends as well. Overall it was enjoyable. I also have a feeling that actors who played kluen and prince would make a nice pair too. Hopefully we'll see them in a series together. **************Was this review helpful to you?

Crazy little thing called love but gay
If you remember the famous Mario Maurer movie crazy little thing called love, then you have got the storyline. It's pretty much the same except no one is "ugly" and has a glow up. There's nothing much to say about the storyline. It's pretty much bland.But there are very much good things about the series. Firstly Chen. Wow. 2moons never did justice to his skills and acting. His golden skin was shining. He played the character of a socially awkward, introverted guy reallllyyy well. The guy who played Daoneua is also a good actor. But as usual their kisses were awkward. Mainly Daoneua was awkward. Except that their very few interaction in the whole series was pretty cute and sweet.
The guy who played Maitee. I watched one of his series where he was a serious studious guy. But this character suits him more. I hope I'd get to see him in this kind of free fun guy more. Overall it was good. The ratings are fair. There were so many familiar faces as well. Good for one time binge watch. Also, you can skip some scenes and still will understand everything.

some YouTuber making videos with their family
Did we watch the same series? What are all these reviews talking about? I even rechecked if it's the same series or not. Yes, everyone has different tastes but how could someone rate this 10 I'm speechless. The three yaoi fangirls were annoying at its best. The only thing that saved the show is the acting of the main leads. And comedy? The backbencher guys from my high school 7 years back did better comedy. YouTubers make better videos in their non professional settings and in their homes. Dropping and never picking up let alone rewatching. I even want my wasted time back.Was this review helpful to you?

How did they do this?
The story is based on a manhwa but in the drama they followed an almost different storyline but not different at the same time. In the manhwa there were no filming scene, no telling Siwon's life through a movie, no Dawoon telling his parents to select the movie and Dawoon's mother was a sweetheart. In the manhwa Siwon was bit more of an a$$hole and Dawoon was a puppy running after him. In the drama Yoonjung never confessed to Siwon.The rumour on the internet and Siwon's childhood photo getting leaked was more intense in the manhwa. They handled the situation more savagely. In short the manhwa was more of a them being savage and the drama covers the same thing but a sweet way. That is why they get all the positive feedback from me. The drama and the manhwa both are 10 on 10 in their own way. The awkwardness you can see in Siwon sometimes is because he is awkward in general. They talk about his in the manhwa. It wasn't them being awkward while acting. When Dawoon dreamed about Siwon after their fight, you can clearly see Siwon being different, as in clingier. The actors did a great job here as well. 10 on 10 again. Also they didn't introduce two important characters which I assume leaves a door for second season. Or should I say one? The guy singing at the beach is one of them. Siwon and Dawoon's friend Bawoo (the guy with glasses who saved Yoonjung form the stalker) was an out gay in the manhwa and the singer is his love interest. The other one is Dawoon's cousin. They had a lot of history. I'm highly anticipating a second season. They need to cover Dawoon's struggle too. Overall hats off to the whole team.
