This review got REAL wordy but I could help myself, I really loved it!

OVERALL:
This is BY FAR one of the best shows I have ever watched PERIOD. There is a little bit of everything, from romance to action to drama, it's all here. I literally just finished half an hour ago and already want to show this to all my friends. The story and characters fit so well and whoever wrote the script is an absolute genius. There aren't many shows I can binge-watch, but this show caught me from the very first episode and kept me hooked 'till the end. Even if this doesn't seem like your cup of tea, I highly recommend watching at least the first episode.

STORY:
Oh boy, where to start??? Like I said before I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't stop. The characters are so deep and the messages that are portrayed throughout the storyline were weaved in perfectly to create only what I can describe as ART. Not only that but the show wasn't smothered out by romance either. It was more subtle and natural which I really really enjoyed! Neo, Shin, and Miw are brought together by dangerous circumstances and together they work towards their freedom. But the way the storyline builds and the more you dive into each of the characters, the more you fall in love with them. Even the supporting roles had their own stories that made you feel so many emotions. I really give props to the scriptwriters, directors and everyone involving in creating this wonderfully meaningful and action-packed story.

ACTING/CAST:
Let's just start off with me saying the casting choices were SPOT ON! Joss (Neo), Tay (Shin), and Mild (Miw) did an amazing job embodying these characters and really brought them to life. When they cried, I cried. When they laughed, I laughed. You could really feel the chemistry between all of them. And for the supporting cast, first of all, IM SO HAPPY, I GET TO SEE GUN (Tur) HAVING SUCH A GOOD ROLE! after watching so many BL's with him either not having lines or having very little lines, it was so great to see him portray this role as a hitman. He did very well, and he and Jennie (Mae), were a great pair. Jennie also played such a deep character that I really commend her for. Overall, the casting and acting were brilliant!

Side note: I believe this is Joss's debut as one of the main actors, and he totally KILLED it! I can't wait to see more from him!

MUSIC:
I don't really have much to say about the music from this show other than I REALLY enjoying the opening theme! It was very dramatic and intense. Perfect for the show.

REWATCH VALUE:
Definitely 10/10 would rewatch multiple times! it was just THAT impactful and memorable.

OVERALL:
Wow, just wow. I really can't believe how good this was. I'll be honest and say I didn't have high hopes for this drama when I first added it to my 'to watch' list but I was blown away. Everything from the acting, OST, storyline, and production value was 11/10! The characters were brought to life so well, it's hard not to love all of them. I do have to warn anyone who is interested in watching this drama, it is NOT for the weak of heart. Do not watch this if you are just looking for a happy-go-lucky bromance. There are so much heartbreak and pain (not just for the main characters). This show will build you up just to tear you down at the very end, but the happy, carefree moments in between are so worth all the heartbreak. I highly recommend this! Especially if you loved the untamed!

STORY:
I'll start off with the storyline. You can tell so much thought was put into this, and seeing as I haven't read the novel I don't know how well they kept to the original storyline but this plot was weaved together so well. It is hard to not binge-watch all the episodes in the span of a couple of days. At least, that's what I did.

ACTING/CAST:
Amazing, they couldn't have chosen a better cast in my opinion. The characters each person played were so complex and had many times where they had to show different sides of their character and the actors/actresses were phenomenal! I hope everyone enjoyed the casting as much as I did for this drama.

MUSIC:
The OST for this drama brought tears to my eyes. I downloaded the opening and ending songs after the first episode, I was so in love! The lyrics are perfect for the drama and the atmosphere the music sets in this series is so beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking but in a good way.

REWATCH VALUE:
The only reason I am not saying 10 is because the ending is something I don't think my heart could take again. But I will be rewatching select episodes because I just love the characters too much.

I love this two-part series, one: because of the great acting. two: because of the wonderful storyline! Although, just a forewarning, this second part is a little more angst-filled than the first. At times the lack of communication can be frustrating as heck, but I think in the end it just adds to the building of the relationship.

The acting is so good, and it's the main reason why I really love this movie. the chemistry that both of the actors portray into their characters is wonderfull and actually made me tear up at some points. This is definitely a must-watch, especially if you watched the first movie!

OVERALL:
Where do I even start? I started this movie on a whim with only the trailer to go off of, and I did not regret it one bit! Once you start this movie you will not want to stop. I don't even know how to describe this movie, psychological drama, twisted love? The twists and turns this movie will take you on are phenomenal! Let me get into some detail...

STORY:
It was a little fast-paced and I felt they could have slowed it down a bit more, this is the ONLY reason why this movie didn't get a 10/10 from me. But other than that the story was amazing and it had me on my toes the whole time wondering what was going to happen next. I love a good plot twist, and this was everything I could have asked for! I don't know who wrote this script but I will bow down to them! This was genius.

ACTING/CAST:
Wow! The acting in this movie was mind-blowing! Honestly, the actors are what made this movie in my opinion. The way they portrayed their characters' personalities, emotions, and facial expressions had my jaw hung in awe. I could feel the emotion from this movie like it was my own, honestly. That is not an easy feat!

MUSIC:
The music they chose did a great job of setting an atmosphere of happiness one second and then tension the next. It really upped the level of production value in my eyes.

REWATCH VALUE:
I'd rewatch this just to make my friends go through the journey I just went through watching this! It's one of those movies you need to watch again at least a second time to look back and see the small details you missed.

This is the first part of two and it was really good! I read the manga for this first and then came to watch the live version. The story and acting are a lot better then I thought they would be. I'm really happy with the actors and their acting. The storyline is perfect and it is hard not to fall HARD for the main couple. The whole movie was very beautifully executed and in a way mesmerizing. (i think the soundtrack helped with that too).

If you like a steady paced BL, with a couple who both just want to find love and someone who will love them for themselves, then this is it. I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about watching it!
