Pour le couple secondaire et c'est tout !
Je vais rejoindre la majorité des avis ici. Ce n'est pas tout mauvais, mais ce n'est pas tout bon non plus.L'histoire avait piqué mon intérêt et nous permettait de sortir des chemins classiques du BL. Pourtant, j'ai vite changé d'avis et est décidé de ne pas réfléchir davantage et tourner mon attention sur Bank/Pitch qui ont si peu de scènes que c'en est presque offensant. Ils étaient (pour moi) l'unique motivation pour enchaîner les épisodes.
Sky (incarné par Gun) m'a rendu irritable avec son mauvais caractère en plus de ne pas me faire ressentir la moindre émotion. Quant à Sun (joué par Boat), je n'ai pas adhéré plus que ça. Le jeu n'était pas parfait, d'accord. Mais le loupé sur l'écriture des personnages n'a pas arrangé les choses.
L'intrigue est sans surprise. En soit, ce n'est pas dramatique, mais ça ne casse pas des briques non plus. On peut reconnaître que les gros trous scénaristiques ou les incohérences sont mineures (je ne dirais pas inexistantes vu qu'il m'est arrivé de jouer de l'avance rapide, oups). Côté romance... C'est tout ou rien. Y'a rien, puis soudain, nous avons tout.
J'ai fini par m'ennuyer avec comme seul espoir, voir plus de Bank/Pitch. Espoirs réduit au néant.
Pas le plus mauvais BL, mais probablement pas le meilleur. Malgré tout, le mieux reste de se faire son propre avis. Cette année, les BL thaïlandais qui me plaisent se comptent sur une seule main, alors...

The best drama ever
I’m not at all exaggerating when I say this is the best drama I’ve ever seen. I love all the actors, characters, plot, absolutely everything about it. It’s hard to believe that in the beginning, sky didn’t want sun around and didn’t want to be babied but now he sees that sun really does care for him and all the events show that. I don’t wanna elaborate too much more because I would like for everyone to enjoy this drama for themself. I’m often attached very much to dramas but this one (along with the untamed, make it right, be loved in house, fish upon the sky, he’s coming to me...) I’m extremely attached to and in love with to the point that I don’t wanna get anywhere near the finale because I love every single thing about it so so so very much. I recommend this to everyone!!! All the dramatic action scenes are so well done and the actors do it so well!!! Everything about their acting is amazing!! Back to the cast, I remember sky/ gun from love by chance and idk why but something about him made him my favorite character in that series and when I saw that he was in this drama I literally screamed. Gun and Boat act so well together and i don’t think I’d be able to watch dramas with them in relationships with other people because I love them together very much:). Sorry for the long review but it truly is amazing!!! ???Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

This could have been so good!
So much wasted protentional of a good idea.The main couple had no chemistry. There was so many moments where nothing happened that I started forwarding through the scenes. I can only watch so many scenes of one guy standing in a kitchen making food.
The first episode made Sun look like as superhero, dodging bullets, beating down five guys at a time, and then later failing to protect Sky against one guy.
The chemistry between the second couple was fantastic, I started following their storyline, but that was few and far between.

Don't Waste Your Time
I gave this series two chances but it really wasn’t my cup of tea, the dialogue is cringe, the acting is extremely forced and there is no chemistry between the main couple. I would not recommend this series. There is really nothing that could save it, but if you still dare to experience it, I would advise to go for the movie, so you will have less to endure.I liked the photography in some scenes and the second couple even if being there for cringe comical relief still had a better chemistry than the main couple, but still not enough to make it worth watching.

TBH it's closer to bronze than gold ...
Oh boy, this was a little disappointing.....but I was kinda expecting it.The story isn't bad...who wouldn't like to watch the forbidden love between the son of the mafia and his bodyguard? I know, right?? Sounds pretty interesting to me too! But the really missed the mark is pretty much all aspects on this one, and that hurts.
I really wanted this series to be good, but it wasn't. The chemistry wasn't there, the rare kiss scenes between SunSky were givind dead fishpallooza *UUUGHHH* The acting too was pretty rough - trust me guys, it pains me to write these words, but I have to be honest here. Sun (Boat) and Pitch (Sugus) were the best actors, but that alone wouldn't save the series. Sky's cries were very cringy lolol and that date scene OMG lolololol NOPE. I CAN'T.
The whole plot of the dad being obsessed with his "rival" and calling him mid attacks were stupid lol the guy is clearly doing EVERYTHING to kill his son (Sky) and he thinks it's a smart mafia decision to call him and laugh (very fake btw) about burning his drugs? Come on...just give him your son, it saves us time lolololol so dumb.
I'm not even going to say much about the "you have to prove that you love each other by not speaking for 6 years.....and then MAYBE you can be together" bullshit. I really HATE when they do that. It calls their audience (us btw) idiots! Why did it take him 6 years tho? Their reunion after 6 fucking years were also very lame.
Yeah. It felt like a lukewarm soup that needed way more seasoning on a very cold night. Don't really recommend this one.....watch it at your own risk.

Loved the series
This was a pleasant find. I wasn't aware of this series until I stumbled on it. The only thing I found wrong with the series was basic lack of research by the person who wrote th script. The story was fantastic, but the blood type that can only recieve the same blood type is O-. Gun shined in this role and Boat was the perfect matchup for him in this story. The other characters were well casted as well. Tenon and Sugus were great in their roles as well with a great side story and lots of chemistry. Like I said, I loved everything about it other than the lack of research.... golden blood is O-. It is the universal giver but not reciever. AB- can recieve all negative blood types.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

literally what is going on
This show amazed me in a way that i've never been amazed before, but I do not mean that in a good way. So many things just make zero sense whatsoever. How can a mafia be a mafia without illegal activity??? That is literally not possible. It shows in the first episode that Sun just randomly got a call and casually became Sky's bodyguard, but then we learn that he's been training his entire life to be his bodyguard??? How come they have never met before if his entire reason for living thus far has been Sky??? ALSOOOOOO THEY TELL EVERYBODY THAT THEY ARE COUSINS, BUT THEN JUST DROP THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DATING ONE DAY AND NEVER SPECIFY THAT THEY LIED ABOUT BEING COUSINS. SO TO EVERYBODY'S KNOWLEDGE THEY ARE LITERALLY COUSINS AND DATING!!!! Don't even get me started on how the end of this show was literally worse than anything I could have come up with to end this show. A SIX YEAR NO CONTACT BREAK IN THEIR BRAND NEW RELATIONSHIP. Sorry but who is waiting 6 years to be together... there is a certain point where I say just disrespect your father and date. Speaking of the father why was he literally the worst man in the entire world and we were just supposed to ignore it. He "tested" sun by PRETENDING HE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM. AFTER RAISING HIM AS A LITERAL BLOODBANK FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS OF HIS LIFE. FREE SUN AND SKY FROM THIS TERRIBLE MANNN WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED TO GET HIS APPROVAL SO BAD.Okay now let's talk about how the two girls in the friend group are the real victims of this show. They were literally strung along and given hope for the entire series that their crushes liked them back. Literally from episode one Sun could have told Juno that he did not have feelings for her. And then when Sky asked Toktaeng on a date ONLY because he wanted to get back at Sun??? Oh that made me hate him so bad. I never liked Sky but that was a new level of hatred I felt for him.
Anyways the show wasn't even that bad and I was entertained most of the time I just thought the inconsistencies were rly funny tbh . The second couple was cute too so.

bro trained his whole life for this momment
The average was 8.25 stars out of 10. This wasn't even that bad. I'm so obsessed with this trope. I love the bodyguard, and I will protect you with my life trope so much. The story was meh. It was pretty okay. The ending was not as bad as people make it out to be, but I kind of wanted more. Okay, so I am going to go on my close friend's story highlight, and I am probably not going to watch the movie because it's just these 8 episodes in 2 hours, and that's kind of a waste of time.My first reaction was that this lowkey resembles Kinn Porsche with the bodyguard shit. And it was a tale of thosuand stars with the parents paying the person to watch over their son and then the son thinking that they only did this because of their parents. Those were the vibes. I made a joke that Sky's dad is a mafia boss but can't pay the damn water bill in his son's house. Bro needs to step up as a father. Sky was your average annoying main character who just wanted nothing to do with his dad's mafia business and some loving, and that was interesting but not anything I have not seen before.
Then we met Pitch, and he was really making me uncomfortable. Good job on the actor for that, because, oh my god, he was making me so uncomfortable it wasn't even funny. I looked, and he and Bank were also main characters, so I already knew they were going to have something going on, and I love them together.
Of course Sun was an orphan, bro, because we need that good emo backstory for a mafia romance, lol. Then Sun and Sky started to have little moments, and I started to see that the actors actually had some chemistry, and the story started actually going somewhere, because for a good while it really wasn't going anywhere. Then we got more Bank and Pitch, with Bank sleeping in Pitch's bathtub and Pitch starting to fall in love with him. That was really cute, and you can tell he started to have a soft spot for Bank and his stupidity.
Then they jumped to a random date out of nowhere. I was like, What the hell? We have actually seen no development for the past 3 episodes; how are you all even on a date? Like it made no sense. How are you going to make an 8-episode drama a slow burn, bro? Like, what the hell? Then the sun dove into the shallow ass water to save the sky, and then sky did the same, and I actually couldn't stop laughing. The way he dove into the water was so fucking funny. I couldn't even breathe, bro.
Then we had the Thai drama random ass school trip or vacation, and this girl clapped back at the bank and everyone started laughing. That was definitely not in the script, lol. The way everyone was laughing Then bro started singing. Bro, shut up; this isn't a gacha singing battle or trolls; be quiet. Singing didn't kill your stupid grandma, bro. Shut up.
Then we got some more pitches and bank moments. Pitch once again had me scared for my own life through the screen with the way he was looking at Bank. Then both of our couples fell apart at the same exact time, like, what? Catch me a break, please. How are they going to go back and forth and just fall apart for the same exact reason?
Then the goofy ass fight scene, which had me laughing the entire time, I was giving partners in crime by set it off, and it made me really happy for some reason. And then we find out how fucking annoying Sky's dad is when Sun takes a bullet for his goofy ass. Then I said, That's why his wife is dead because he's a bitch; just let them love each other and let me get my super mega happy ending.
"A life without a younger master is like living dead." That was deep, homie. I need someone like that in my life right now. That was a cold line, and I liked it. Then they split up to prove their love, and we got a shitass ending. They could have dragged that out just a bit to get us a super-happy ending. Meh, it was good. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not that bad. I would have written this six hours ago, but the shift started. Okay bye!

Better than I thought it would be
The idea for this story was intriguing for me as I've seen a couple of mafia series now and have enjoyed the added suspense aspect it brings. This series was definitely more on the lighthearted side of the serious spectrum mainly because the main characters are not in a business of "questionable legality." Even the mafia boss is not in illegal activity so it's a nice change from the idea that we root for a bad guy, despite what he does for a living.I was concerned that as soon as the bodyguard showed up that Sky was going to become a whining brat and purposefully get himself in danger just to defy his father. It didn't really happen though he did at first become very defiant and stubborn against Sun. But the fact was, Sun nor Father told Sky the severity of what was going on so he was just trying to live his life like he normally does. I mean, I can't really blame him because I would have probably done the same if I lived a certain way and then all of a sudden had a babysitter when I'm an adult with no explanation why. But I was pleasantly surprised when Sky found out the threat against his life that he immediately became more careful; listening to Sun and even asking his permission to do things. And the threat felt very organic.. the way the two bosses were going back and forth with their attacks. And I really liked how Sky was saying it's a never ending cycle that someone has to break by not retaliating. That was very mature of him to see that when the adults didn't.
One of the things that brought down the rating for me was the acting... it was sometimes distractingly amateurish even though the bulk of the mains have a decent acting history/background. And while the MC had good chemistry, they almost looked uncomfortable whenever they had to kiss. At that point, I wish they just wouldn't put it in at all and let us fill in those gaps with our imagination because otherwise is pops the chemistry bubble they had going on.
While I didn't like the way Sky used the girls to make Sun jealous, I also couldn't believe that they never picked up on Sun and Sky's attraction to each other nor did they get the hint when Sun always shot down the advances. I mean, come on, if a guy is into you, he'd be thrilled at how much you touch him and cling to him but he always had to pry her hands off him... was that not obvious enough? I'm glad that all they did was cry when Sun and Sky announced their relationship because if the girls had gotten pissed or wanted to cut ties with them because of it, the rating would have gone down more for me. I'm glad they were all friends still in the end and can be mature about it.
Which is more than I could say for Father... seriously.. as if the boys' actions of putting the others' life before their own was not a testament of their sincerity, he makes them live apart for 6 years and waste precious time together? So silly.
Anyway, overall I thought it was an enjoyable watch and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a series with a progressive, interesting plot that doesn't require too much brain power.

My Review
It was a good series, quite short. They could have done like episodes where they like graduate school in maybe episode 9 or 10. They could have also added in the part where they reunite and maybe have a vacation together and show which part of their moments together they like the most. But Overall I liked it this is why I give it a 9.0/10Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The actors deserve a better storyline
It has great acting for the most parts. The acting is above the average BL acting (which is mostly cringey haha)However, the show overall could use a better storyline. The story is exactly as the synopsis (no surprise or plot twist lol), but I'm okay with that. What I am not okay with is the amount of fillers. It became draggy and meaningless over time
It started out great initially, I was laughing a lot and enjoying at first few episodes and it just went downhill.
Still....Welldone for the acting, especially chemistry for PitchBank (They need a series of their own!)
Overall, I give full credits to the great acting, and think this show could have been a hit with such great casts, if only the storyline, plot and execution is better.
