This might be the highest-rated Taiwanese BL for me besides We Best Love. The acting is spot-on, and the cinematography and music are really great. I even prefer the cut version over the uncut one—it feels more artistic and cinematic. I love how Qian is made more realistic, especially with him being so protective of his younger sibling that he’d die for them. Yuan’s character also matures after coming back from America, which I really liked.
However, Bao and Sanpang, the side characters, don’t get much screen time. Also, some scenes, like the Russian roulette with the thugs, seem unnecessary if the goal is just to show Yuan’s willingness to die for Qian.

I forgot to note when I watched this, though, because it’s only available on Youku, and I had to subscribe just to see it.
Overall, I highly recommend it and hope to binge-watch it once all the episodes are out. I can’t imagine how tough it would be to watch it week by week

I’ve watched a lot of time travel series, and while the acting and cinematography in this one are good, but I really can’t stand Jom’s character. It’s frustrating how a man from the future ends up being so weak and struggles to survive.
He’s incredibly annoying—careless and without any real tactics or strategies to find a way back to his time. He’s too naive and spends too much time dealing with Fongkaew and Khamsaen’s issues.
I hoped he’d improve his skills, like how he managed to speak and understand English with James, but he just accepted being made a slave.
The scene where he was about to disappear was cringe-worthy; the CGI effect that made his body transparent looked strange.

Overall, while the cinematography, acting, and budget were good, the character development and storyline weren’t

I watched it after ITSAY since everyone was recommending it. I didn’t have any expectations, but it turned out to be amazing. The acting, cinematography, music, dialogues, storyline, chemistry, and the topics they cover are all top-notch. The political issues are handled really well, and there are a lot of meaningful messages. Gun’s acting is impressive; he plays two different characters, and you can even see it in his eyes. I’m hoping for a season 2 because I think Black characters don’t get enough spotlight. Overall, I highly recommend it.

I'm obsessed to the point of being sick with it

If you're into acting that keeps you glued to the screen, this one's for you. Pond’s performance as Wang is incredibly direct and compelling. The cinematography is eye candy, and while I initially thought there were too many dialogues compared to flashbacks, I ended up appreciating how spot-on they were. The plot and conflicts are straightforward but are delivered really well.

The series tackles tough issues like homophobia and emotional neglect, giving us a critical look at societal attitudes and their effects on individuals. The chemistry between the actors is top-notch.

You’ll instantly feel how rough it is to be Wang—he’s more mature than the so-called adults around him and feels completely isolated. The man he loves is a spineless coward, and his mom is a gaslighting, narcissistic homophobe. Honestly, they all could use some serious therapy.

If you're looking for more than just any BL series, this one is definitely a must-watch!

It's about growth, ambition, and the challenges of shifting priorities in a relationship.

I gotta say, I’m really digging this season way more than the last one. A lot of people are hating on "IPYTM" because of the whole Teh cheating thing, but honestly, this season feels way more real. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, you know? Now, I’m not here to defend Teh, but I think it’s important to point out that he’s not some player who’s just messing around for kicks. What he did was pretty messed up—he betrayed Oh-Aew’s trust and feelings. He wasn’t honest with him, and by the end, he knew he screwed up.

Jai using Method Acting for his project was kind of genius, though. He knew Teh admired him, and he realized that Teh’s feelings for Oh-Aew were holding him back from really nailing his performance. So, during rehearsals, Teh had to push Oh-Aew out of his mind to get into character. He got so into Jai’s Method that he started drifting away from his relationship with Oh-Aew. And in the end, the part of him that fell for Jai took over, all because of his career. By choosing his career over his relationship, especially as a freshman, Teh made it clear where his priorities were.

So, does Teh still love Oh-Aew? Absolutely. Oh-Aew was his first love, and those feelings don’t just disappear. But when Oh-Aew tried to get him back, Teh was already too lost in his own head.

They drifted so far apart that their love went from being a perfect storm to just a calm sea.

Teh really feels like Jai is the reason he’s become a good actor. Even when he got scouted, the first person he wanted to tell was Jai. His career is everything to him. It’s not about whether he loves Oh-Aew or not; it’s about the fact that he’s been dreaming of being an actor since he was a kid. But in chasing that dream, he totally forgets that Oh-Aew, his boyfriend and best friend, has been his biggest supporter all along.

One of the best moments for me is when Oh-Aew decides to switch to the Advertising department. That decision wasn’t easy for him at all. He didn’t want to choose between his own happiness and his relationship, but he knew he had to.

I’m especially into Oh-Aew’s personal growth. The way he learns about love is so real and mature. Instead of clinging to the idea of “forever,” he starts to understand that love is something that changes over time. He realizes how important it is to be true to himself and his feelings, rather than making promises that might not hold up as life and relationships evolve.

I always judge the acting first, and theirs was good—not cringy or awkward at all. The plot is relaxing, and the cinematography is nice. But when it hit the climax, the story started to feel a bit strange and forced. For example, the residents and even Phupa were angry and disappointed with Tian for having a heart donor from Torfun, even though Tian couldn’t choose or ask for a donor from Torfun. The conflict didn’t make much sense, and the ending was super predictable. Overall, though, I still enjoyed it.

It's like a total breath of fresh air after all those toxic BLs

If you’ve been stuck watching all those toxic BLs, this one’s a total breath of fresh air.

Ryuji isn’t just a green flag—he’s a WHOLE DAMN FOREST. His thoughtful way of handling Amane’s insecurities, especially with how Amane deals with self-deprecating humor, is next level.

The only downside? The series is way too short.

But definitely check it out for the stunning cinematography that beautifully captures Enoshima.

The acting isn't bad, but the character development is a mess. The storyline is terrible. Babe was shown as unbeatable at first, but how could he be so dumb when Charlie approached him? I really can't stand Charlie's character—if you're going to play detective, at least do it right. Way’s character is the only thing keeping me sane. I dropped it by episode 4 because the story just wasn't improving.

The acting is okay, but it’s not anything special, and the genre and storyline just aren’t my thing. It’s a classic mix of schoolboy romance, band/music, and enemies to lovers—none of which I really enjoy. If you liked the 2gether series, you might like this one too. I dropped it at episode 6 because the story felt too stretched out, and I didn’t care for the side couple.

I gave up on it. Honestly, Taevin's acting is the only thing I liked. The drama feels low budget and super cliché. People said it gets better in the final episodes, but I’m not interested enough to keep watching. Chun Sang Won’s character is just too cringe for me, and the story moves so slowly. I dropped it at episode 5, even though there were only 3 episodes left. I just don’t have the motivation to finish it. It was too boring to keep going.
