FULL ON ENTERTAINMENT PACKAGE
Have you watched I WILL KNOCK YOU yet? If not, do watch it.Trust me on this. I will knock you is one of the best BL shows out there, specially among the recent ones. I honestly did not have much expectations when I decided to watch it. The actors are new and it kinda seemed to have a cliche school/college based romance tropes. But hell! I was so wrong! I ain't gonna say that the story is very unique, but the way they present it, the set, the "retro" theme, the shooting locations...these gave a lot of vibrance and a beautiful ethnic vibe to the entire show.
So, it's a story between a younger rowdy boy (who's definitely very handsome and cute) who is a "gangsta" ( but I swear he is such a cutie... I totally loved his soft side and his smile is so heartwarming! ) and an older college student who is a scaredy cat (I won't lie, there were times when I was pissed seeing him being such a timid ass, but I guess that's how the character is supposed to be). I won't spoil it for you guys. All I would say is, it's a total entertainment package. I didn't get bored until the very end. Plus, its one of those series which doesn't depend on steamy scenes to make it entertaining. A light, heartwarming show. Oh, and the ending was one of the best endings out there. I loved how the ending was not very unrealistic yet happy. Plus, there's a cute couple dance at the end credits of every episode. That's something I've never seen before anywhere! I would definitely say Noey stole my heart away. They are new BL actors and it seems like the series is not as popular as it should be. So, as a BL lover, I am sharing this, so that you too can enjoy this cute series.

IT WAS GOOD FROM START TO FINISH.
Unlike most reviews here, I would say that the second last and last episodes aren't at all traumatic/bad as people are making it out to be. Yes, the second last episode has a bit of angst but which drama doesn't have a bit of angst/plot twist in the second-last episode? It's just like any other dramas with a good/happy ending. Is the drama emotional? Well... Somewhat but not too much.. atleast not for me. Spoiler ahead-In the second last episode, Day breaks up with Mhok but that was totally justified imo. It was sad but understandable. Day didn't want Mohk to pity him and compromise with his career for his sake. Even though it seems a bit cruel of Day, he did take the right decision. As we can see in the final episode, when the meet and discuss the break up after 3 years, they both realise that it was the best for them. There was no hard feelings involved. By the end, they end up together and Day also gets back his eye-sight and it's a happily ever after. Idk what more people want. It's already good enough as it is!

NOT EXCLUSIVELY BL. RELATIONSHIP OF 3 PEOPLE
I came across this while looking for more BLs to watch, so here's my first point - ITS NOT A BL. IT DOES INCLUDE BL ELEMENT BUT ITS ACTUALLY A RELATIONSHIP OF 3 PEOPLE, ONE BISEXUAL, ONE GAY AND A GIRL. THERE'S ONLY ONE EPISODE WHICH FOCUSES ON THE LOVE STORY OF THE 2 GUYS.The story goes like- a stripper ( Neo) ends up getting on the bad side of a mafia and was on the run from a hitman. He coincidentally bumped into one of his acquaintance/friend ( a guy named Shin who secretly liked Neo) and a girl who was a strip club hostess who got tangled up in the mess. 3 of them starts running for their lives. Later they come to know that Shin is actually the mafia's son. But Shin doesn't like his father so he helps them elope everytime. So the story is basically about 3 of them running away as they struggle to survive against 2 mafias and police. During this time, they develop a special bond of love and friendship. BOTH SHIN AND THE GIRL LIKED NEO AND NEO CLAIMS TO LIKE BOTH OF THEM TOO. SO THEY BASICALLY LOVE EACH OTHER AND SLEPT WITH EACH OTHER (3SOME). THEY NEVER GAVE UP ON EACH OTHER.
The plot about running away and struggling to survive is preety common and nothing out of the box. What was actually special was this love and bonding of these 3 people. Although I don't know or don't wanna judge if it's actually good or bad, did Neo actually loved both the same way, one thing I liked is they actually could go to any extent to protect each other without any jealousy or bad feelings.
THE ACTING WAS GOOD. ALL THE ACTORS (SPECIALLY THE 3 LEADS) DID JUSTICE TO THEIR CHARACTERS.
OVERALL, BECAUSE I WATCHED IT HOPING FOR BL CONTENT, I WASN'T FULLY SATISFIED. THE STORY HAD CERTAIN LOOPHOLES. BUT STILL, IT WASN'T BAD. HOWEVER, I DIDN'T FIND IT SPECIAL ENOUGH TO BE RE-WATCHED.

LOVED HOW IT STARTED BUT DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ENDING
I love fantasy/ Sci-fi/ Time travel dramas. Right from the beginning I got this feeling that when it comes to fantasy dramas, Korean dramas always excels. This story was interesting bcz it involved time travel to save his saviour. But, by the end we see that the whole point of the story was only to deal with his past trauma and guilty feeling. Honestly, I don't like this concept. I don't think that knowing that the person we loved and who loved us, willingly sacrificed their life for us would be less painful. Even though they want us to live a good life, and even if we try to do so, the pain will never fade. Thank god it has an open ending. It's kinda confusing how again after more 15 years Ji woo still looks the same. I mean is he the 25 years old self after 15 more years or is he 40 years now? Idk. Anyways, I hope we have a season 2 where they'll be more clever and find a way to save themselves rather than willingly sacrificing themselves.I don't like sad ending dramas. I mean it's an open ending but still I feel like the story was insufficient. There should've been more to it. So will not prefer to re-watch.
Acting of both MLs were fine. However, it was like he still behaved like a kid with him though he was a grown up man now. I was fine with it though.

NO BL ELEMENT. ONLY BROMANCE. NOT AS GOOD AS MOST REVIEW SAYS.
So I came across this drama while I was searching for historical BL/ bromance adapted from BL original work drama. Most of the Chinese dramas are adapted into bromance but while watching it we feel the intense chemistry and love between the MLs and THIS DRAMA HAS A LOT OF POSITIVE REVIEWS. SO, I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A WATCH.INITIALLY, IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. ITS A STORY ABOUT 2 LONG LOST BIOLOGICAL BROTHERS WHO ARE NOW IN ENEMY CLANS. AND THE ELDER ONE IS IN SEARCH OF THE YOUNGER ONE. AFTER THEY MEET, THERE WAS A GOOD BROMANCE BETWEEN THE TWO BUT SINCE THEY ARE BIOLOGICAL BROTHERS, WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IT TO HAVE SOME BL ELEMENTS. But from the time Ji Chuan realises that Zhao might be his real younger brother, to the time he confirms and finally tells his brother felt like it was really dragging on. It got boring with a cliche plot. Ofcourse it doesn't make sense but even if we keep logic aside, some interesting things should have been added. But there was none. I felt like dropping the drama but I already downloaded it so I watched it for the sake of my data consumed. I WATCHED IT IN 1.75X SPEED. THE ENDING WAS FINE THOUGH. OVERALL IT WAS OKAY CONSIDERING THE 2 MLs were really CUTE. But, there's nothing special about the story.
