The best show I've ever watched
I really loved how Gene's character was a writer. I don't think I've ever watched any show or movie where the main character was a writer. The storyline was quite unique and I loved that about it. As someone whose dream is to one day become an author, this show really fueled those creative juices. Writing is one of my biggest passions; I'm actually working on a BL novel currently.Usually in BLs I see the "top" being portrayed as this really aggressive and selfish guy who can't control himself. But in this one, Nubsib is an extremely lovable and caring person who actually cares about Gene's feelings. Whenever Gene felt uncomfortable, he'd stop himself from going too far. And also he always makes sure Gene is okay, like when he was understanding about Gene hurting after their first time. On the outside, one might assume that Sib is exactly like the other LIs we often see in BLs, but on the inside he's a very wholesome and caring person who wouldn't hurt a fly.
This show got me feeling all of the emotions; I laughed at the funny parts, I cried during the sad scenes, and I got all giggly and euphoric during the cute and romantic scenes.
One thing I found quite hilarious (I still can't get over this) is that in one of the earlier episodes; during one of the photoshoots, they were showing the pictures being used for inspo and one of them **laughs inside** was a picture of WWH Jin XD. And not just any picture, it was the FREAKING CONCEPT PHOTO FOR THEIR ALBUM "LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR!"
here's a link so you can see for yourself: https://ibighit.com/bts/eng/discography/detail/love_yourself-tear.html (scroll go to concept photo R and you'll find it there)
I mean I can't really blame them, he's Worldwide Handsome after all. I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out in the comments, but afterwards I couldn't stop cracking up.
Ok anyways, here's a list of some things I loved abt this show:
1. Consent between Gene and Sib
2. How they constantly exposed the entire BL industry
3. They defied a lot of BL stereotypes
4. When Sib kept making sure Gene was ok with them having s3x
5. The perfect balance between wholesome and mature/sensual
6. The incredible chemistry between Kao/Sib and Up/Gene
7. How they made the s3x scene more of "making love" than intense s3x
8. That "Eat Me" shirt which cracks me up even just thinking about it
9. The theme song which slaps so hard that it's managed to stay on my "On Repeat" playlist on Spotify for quite a while now
10. The amazing acting and how there were no cringe scenes throughout the whole show
11. Bua's character who always managed to make me laugh because of how thirsty she was all the time
12. The sound effects which add so much to the comedic side of the show
And here's some things I didn't like:
1. Aeoy (he's an a**hole)
Alright, that's all! Thank you my fellow BL fans for reading my review and I really hope that you'll check this show out, it's definitely worth the watch. (It's on YouTube fyi)

Very creative and sentimental storyline
I haven't watched the uncut version because whenever I try to watch it, the video keeps buffering and loading for an eternity. I wish that all the kiss scenes that they cut out for the YouTube version weren't cut out. But, I do have to say that this show is very underrated and made very well, which I expected because of Lovely Writer.The kiss in the last episode was very emotional, especially if you're watching it for the first time. From the first time they said that Phob only could only be there for 49 days up until the last episode, I was expecting a sad ending. But I was very relieved when it didn't end how I thought it would. This is one of the very few situations where the main character dying is a good thing because now they can finally be together again after so many years.
At first, I wasn't going to finish the last episode after Phat had said he got married to a woman. But I went back to watch the rest and I was delighted to find out they got divorced. My brother kept criticizing me for being happy about that as well as Phat's death. But he hasn't watched the whole show, so he wouldn't understand; he's not attached to the main characters.
Another thing is how Phat was a university student, but unlike a lot of other BLs, this one is usually set at his house and not his school.
The two main leads have a lot of chemistry and just like almost every other BL I've watched, I kept giggling and smiling when seeing them being cute and romantic with each other. All in all, I highly recommend watching this if you haven't checked it out yet.

Lovely Writer Special Episode

Random but definitely worth watching
I love the mix of horror and romance, it's amazing. There is definitely a lack of communication, which is very common amongst shows, movies, and books focused on romance. I kinda wish I could watch it on YouTube like the main series so I could watch in 1080p, but it is what it is. I still really love this addition to the series. I love how there was no cheating on each other (which is what happens a lot in these kinds of things), they stayed loyal.I do have to say, though, that this special ep made me hate Aeoy even more because of how selfish and inconsiderate he is. But I love the ending between Gene and Sib, it was very adorable. Please watch this, it's amazing even if it is a bit random.

Before watching TharnType, I had watched Why R U. I knew this show existed and I immediately recognized their cameo in the first/second episode. So after watching Why R U I knew I had to watch TharnType because of how well-known it is among the BL community. I really enjoyed this show; both seasons and special episodes as well. Mew and Gulf have incredible chemistry and play the roles of Tharn and Type better than anyone else could.The reason the rewatch value is only a 9.5 is because of the annoying characters who keep getting in the way, but other than that, I'd say that the rest of it is pretty rewatchable because of all the hilarious, interesting, and romantic moments that make up the show.
Bro and the theme song for this drama is probably the best theme song I've ever heard in my 16 years of life.
Anyways, watch this show because it's amazing.

WORST BL SEASON 2 EVER! JUST AS BAD AS LOVE ALARM!!!
I really despise this season for multiple reasons. The crappy acting, the awful recasting, and most of all, THEY GOT RID OF YOO HAN! If Hyunjun didn't wanna be in season 2, why not just stop the show at season 1? This is just as bad as what happened with Love Alarm, they ruined the entire show. They should've just been content with one season, they didn't need to go and replace Yoo han like that. The only good thing is that Yeon woo didn't end up with the idiot who replace Yoo han and they stayed just friends. Overall, I really hope that if there's a season 3, they bring back Yoo han and Yoo han comes running to Yeon woo with open arms, gives him a warm embrace, and a passionate kiss.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

One of the best K-dramas I've watched, if not the best
Most BL dramas I've watched, I rate them a 10/10. This one is no different. First of all, I feel like they've really improved with the kiss scenes; past Korean BLs (for example Color Rush) have only one kiss scene and they barely touch lips. But this one as well as To My Star and You Make Me Dance have really good kiss scenes.Another thing is the very fitting title. I'm not sure if they meant to do it, but I feel like the title is a play on words (in a way). My brother pointed out that 'semantic' kind of sounds like 'romantic' which is fitting since this is a love story. But the title also fits the theme and storyline of the show.
I binge-watched this in less than a day, it was really addicting. I love when the two main leads have a height difference, for some reason I find it adorable when the smaller guy stuffs his face in his bf's chest while they're hugging.
Anyways, I highly recommend watching this.
