Better than the first season!

I was a bit worried going into the second season because of all the mixed reviews I was seeing. I loved the first season, and it's one of my favorite Korean bl's, so I was still excited about seeing these characters again. There was definitely a lot of angst and sadness this season, but it made sense and drove the story. Ji Woo pushed Seo Joon away for many reasons. Loneliness, sadness, guilt, and confusion. Yes, Ji Woo was harsh, but I also kind of saw his perspective. He has trouble navigating his emotions and actions. He was suffering in silence. He should have talked to Seo Joon, and none of what happened to them would have happened. Then, again, if they did, we wouldn't have a story. I liked how the episodes were longer, and we saw flashbacks in nearly every episode. This season felt more like a full-length, well-navigated drama. We are also introduced to a handful of new characters, and they really add a lighthearted and happy element to the story. I also feel like the actors have grown a lot from the previous season. They looked comfortable and did excellent, bringing to life all the kissing and emotional scenes. Overall, I really enjoyed this season even more than the first one and recommend watching it, it's worth it!

The reviews are 100% right

I'm the kind of person who rarely drops shows because it truly pains me to. However, this show made me so uncomfortable, and they made one of the main characters so unlikable I didn't give it a second thought before I dropped it. I saw the trailer for this show back before it aired, and I thought it looked like a cute show, but after viewing some of the episodes, it went so downhill with the writing and characters. I feel bad for the actors involved because I know they're good at acting. I loved Pod's character in Dark Blue Kiss and Khaotung's character in 2gether and A Tale of Thousand Stars. I don't typically listen to the reviews too much but trust me, the reviews for this show are accurate, sadly.

I technically placed this show on hold a while ago because I wanted to pick up another show, and I wasn't really feeling this one. I finally decided to move the show from on-hold to dropped because I realized I'm not interested and don't really care too much to see what happens to the characters. I want to say that the message of this show is extremely important and real and is the main reason I was hesitant to drop it. You don't really see storylines like this one in K-dramas, and that was why I was first drawn in. This show focuses on bullying and talks about how appearance isn't really everything. The main girl had surgery done and changed her entire face to become "normal" she didn't do it to become pretty but rather to be accepted by society. The truth is even with all the surgery she had done, society will always be cruel and mean, and she's still bullied and looked down on. The reason I didn't connect with this show is because of the way the characters are written. I could not for the life of me connect or feel the emotions of the characters. I wanted to like the FL and ML, but I felt they were so one-sided and hollow. I applaud the creators for diving into and discussing an important topic and hope they make more shows with this topic, but with better characters and more depth.

Gank your heart is by no means a terrible show. In fact, I really enjoyed the first few episodes. However, this is a show about esports, and the majority of the show does indeed focus heavily on it. I personally found the plot a bit boring because I'm not really into esports. But if you really enjoy esports, drama, romance, and friendship then you'll probably really enjoy this show. I am technically dropping this show for the third time because I picked it back up a few times hoping I could click with it again, but it never really happened. I can definitely see myself picking this back up in the future because I do really want to see how it ends for the main couple, but for now, I will put this on drop/hold.

BL's keep getting better and better!

I remember being hyped for the show when the first teaser trailer came out for KinnPorsche two years ago. It was upsetting when there were some issues with the original company, and thought we wouldn't be getting KinnPorsche, but two years later, here we are! I waited months for KinnPorsche to end before I finally binged it all, and I'm so happy I did! Everything about this show is just refreshing, new, and well done. First and foremost I have to talk about the actors and how amazing they did. They truly gave it their all and brought their characters to life perfectly. Apo, the actor who plays Porsche, kept blowing me away with his facial expressions and his eyes. You could feel and see so much. All of them just did so great. The chemistry between all the couples is off the charts. All the action scenes/fight scenes are well choreographed and look realistic. I honestly enjoyed every single episode and never felt bored or like I had to skip anything (episode 6 was one of my favorites!) I was genuinely invested and intrigued by every character and the storyline. The series didn't really end with any cliffhangers, but there were definitely some things I would love to see discussed in a season 2. For example, what happens to Vegas and Pete after seeing the ending. I would like to see more of Porsche, Porchay, and their mom. Also, now that Porsche is head of the minor family, I would like to see him being in charge, making decisions, navigating this new world, and of course, his relationship with Kinn continued. Kim and Porchay's relationship kind of had an open ending, and I would really like to see them get together as an official couple. The last thing I want to talk about is the soundtrack! I love the theme 'Free Fall' by Slot Machine. I added it to my playlist and have been listening to it for a couple of days now. It's just such a great song. There are a few different versions of it in the show! There's a slow instrumental cover for the romantic and emotional scenes and the regular version for action scenes. Jeff Satur, who plays Kim sang an ost called 'Why don't you stay' that's played throughout the show, and it's really beautiful. I hope we can see more action BL shows like this in the future, and I would love to see more from all the actors because they are phenomenal. The cast and crew worked so hard, and they deserve all the success for this amazing show! Fingers crossed for a season 2!

Strong start but lacking ending

I won't lie. I'm kind of upset writing this review because I just finished the show, and the ending left me unsatisfied. It was a happy ending, but I expected so much more. There were questions unanswered, and some of the scenarios that happened in the show did not really get fixed. I also felt like some of the characters and their relationships should have been focused and delved into more. I do have to say that I loved the idea of this show (the whole night errand thing). All the main characters and their personalities were fun to watch. The action and fight scenes were exciting and fun. The actors did a phenomenal job and were the main reason I went back to keep watching. I only wish the storyline could have taken a better turn in the last half of the show. I still think everyone should check 'Healer' out because it's different from the typical K-dramas you see. It mixes action, comedy, drama, and romance, and it does a good job at it.
