Great one, really.
This show exceeding my expectation. After watching The 8th sense and blueming my standard on k-bl is totally high. I watch a lot k-bl just to wasting time but nothing really got me hooked after blueming and the 8th sense. i don't expect anything when i watch this bcs not many ppl talk about this drama on twitter.Also knowing it's not an adaptation making me more skeptical about the storyline. But when i watched, it changed my mind. The characters are such a fresh air. Hantae reminds me of Yechan from Love Tractor! I really love that kind of golden retriever character! And Baram isn't the type who's afraid to facing the problem, he might choose to hide from it first but when it's time to face it, he face it.
And the trope??? I always think about how we don't really get any friends to lovers on k-bl, and then boom this drama appears.
I love how they started it from they being strangers, to friends then end up being lovers. The development and everything is perfectly pictured. The pace is perfect, it's not too fast and not too slow either. I, myself shocked how they got enough duration, like they showed us a full episode where they officially being boyfriends, not many k-bl did that, the others usually ends when they confessing/kiss.
Don't be afraid of the guitars!! They can sing😀
And about the conflict, i thought it'll be about the stolen song only and the storyline will be about how they take the song back. But they also show us about hantae struggling dealing with his feeling. Even tho the stolen song conflict ended quite abruptly for me, we don't know what happen to the teacher after, it's just like everything suddenly stopped and none talks about it anymore (well i guess it's an accurate representation of society/people on the internet??)
OKAY TO THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THIS SERIES : The Chemistry!!!
They're so so so so so so so comfortable with each other. Omg both actors did great really. They're not awkward with each other's touch likeeee it's so pleasing to watch😭
And special shout out to the actor who plays Hantae, his acting is bomb, he's very natural. The way he jumps here and there, his sleeping pose, etcetc it's so natural, he's fun to watch!
I swear K-BL shouldn't be released at one go! 2 episodes/week is the best option for k-bl with only 8 episodes. It'll make a bigger sound. It's like blueming all over again. A good show but not many people knows/talks about it bcs of the lack of promotion.

Truly masterpiece.
My standard of thai bl is so high after i watch Itsay, but bad buddy meet with my new standard! It's SO GOOD. The acting is so natural! No awkwardness, no cringe scene. Hands down to Nanon and Ohm for their acting! The storyline is actually basic but the chemistry between the actors made everything better. And also healthy gay relationship? Yesssirrrr. Finally thai bl series that actually give us a healthy relationship, both gay and lesbian couple! And the way the called out other thai bls on some scene lmao. Best GMM series so far!And i really want highlights about them doing the advertisement???? Damn-

Totally not what i expected
I watch this because people talk about this a lot. I know nothing about this movie but "Straight police and gay ghost." Just like other people, i was intrigued by that. I don't watch the trailer, I don't even know the genre, but i read about people saying to prepare for some tears. So I'm expecting some heartwrenching LGBTQ+ movie like YNEH.This movie totally not what i expected. Comedy+Horror+Action. What a combo!
For the comedy, they nailed it! It's so darn funny!! I swear the english subtitle ain't do the movie any justice if you know the language trust me it'd be more funnier LOL!
I didn't expect they'd use lots CGI for this movie, like the gunshots, the truck, etc. Not that good but for a movie whose genre not even action?? They totally got a hell of budget ((not complaining)).
Also, I like how the movie flowing, the pace is perfect. The comedy is sooooo good lmao like I'm laughing so hard that i forgot about 'prepare for some tears' part. It's too funny that I can't take the movie seriously, and when it gets to the serious part i was totally stunned.
I thought the story would lean towards the love between them, between the Police and the Ghost, but they showed us more. The unconditionally love from a parent. The story is so GOOD, so good that i can go from laughing to crying real fast. And the ending— I can't describe it, I can't even watch the movie clearly bcs of my tears.
The tears so good it gives me headache lol.
Also let's talk about the acting??? BRUH THEY ALL KILLED IT. The ambulance scene where Ming Han about to passed out, the captain said "who are you talking to??" And Ming Han said "My...Husband.." and then passed out. Hate me as much as you want, but that scene for me is equal to Tom Holland's "I don't wanna go" scene! It's so good that you'll moved to tears!
Wriing this while wiping the tears i shed on the chair. Totally recommended!

They set the bar high
Okay first of all i don't see any 'deep' story on this, just like a casual romance one. I expect this drama to told us a deeper story about the trauma or something related to the 'broken glass sound', but since it's only have 9 episode and 15 minutes per each then yeah can't blame them.I like seo-jun personality here. He's not the type of person who just go when he was told to. He know what he wants. And he just blatantly said it. Meanwhile ji-woo is the tsundere type one. I really thought that ji-woo will be the one who confessing first since he's smiling everytime he got a message from seo-jun, even he's smiling when he tell seo-jun to clean the toilet :((( what a cutie pie. But yeah ji-woo choose to protect seo-jun by saying seo-jun is a trouble for him but actually he doesn't want to be a trouble for seo-jun by dating him since seo-jun is a top star.
And this drama had some 'first' of korean bl. The first korean bl with 9 episodes. First korean bl with a real kiss!!! I've watch some korean bl before i watch this, but only this one with a real kiss i mean a proper kiss. Not only slightly touching on their lips but a real kiss with movement! They set the bar high for the next korean bl.
Over all i like this drama but not that much because the story is not that clear, and so many missing pieces but yeah.
To my star have the same director as where your eyes linger, no wonder it's good since wyel is a top tier itself. Looking forward for another drama from the same director!!

I'm a sucker for this drama
Watching this is the best decision i make. The main plot is common but somehow this drama done it better? I don't know but I've been rewatching the last ep for the n-th time??? I just drowning in their chemistry! best one yet. They look so comfortable to each other. I love it.The dialogue with a little bit japanese kills me everytime. I just love love loved itttt.
The visuals djdhsk can't get over how good looking gao shi de is :))
The music!!!
"Will you be my love
Will you ve my baby
Let me watch over you
Let me take care of you."
Idk if y'all listen to the whole song yet but this song is really cute like cute cute dkshsk and kinda catchy tho.
The kisses are just👌🏼👌🏼
I like how the drama don't forget that they're the "top 2" and make the abruti87887278 code ksdhksjs it's just so sweet and smart at the same time.
But the ending💀 idk what are they planning but a mf slap??? Kdgsjskdjd okay I'm just gonna wait for the next season.
Imo, i can say this drama is better than half of thai bl drama because their chemistry is just top tier like really.

This is a literal masterpiece
This entire drama was done perfectly. With a low production budget the crew still can produce a really beautiful drama. Yes you may found some cringe cgi but regardless of that, everything is perfect. Imagine if this drama has enough budget?? I don't think there's any c drama could beat them. Even with low budget they can still won plenty of awards.This drama is very detailed! There are so many easter eggs! I always find something new every time i rewatch this drama!
Not to mention the actors and actresses' acting!
Xiao zhan, i can stop thinking about HOW can he do 2 expressions in ONE time. When Wei WuXian standing on the roof of koi tower and talking to all the people who wants to kill him, you can see two expressions in his face! He's crying but angry at the same time. Xiao Zhan really amazes me with his top-tier acting!
Wang Yibo, i can say that no one can play Lan WangJi better than Wang Yibo himself. All the micro smile and expressions. He nailed it! EACH LITTLE SMILE that Lan WangJi shown are different from each other! and i wonder HOW CAN he do that. That's just amazing!
Xuan Lu, ughhhh she's the best shijie! Her tears skshsj TOP-TIER!
Wang ZhuoCheng, HE'S LITERALLY A RAY OF SUNSHINE in his real life and idk what did he do to himself to brought Jiang Cheng alive!
I can keep going if it wasn't because my limited vocabulary in English.
And the OST.. if WuJi has million listeners, i am one of them. if WuJi has ten listeners, i am one of them. if WuJi has no listeners, that means i am no longer on the earth. if world against WuJi, i am against the world. i love WuJi till my last breath... die hard fan of WuJi.
All i can say that this drama is very very recommended.

New standard!
Totally exceeded my expectations! K-bl starting to lose its spark last year, everything just goes downhill after the eighth sense and our dating sim released, because those two became the standard, the bar is so HIGH, making other series is nothing compared to them. BUT! Love for love's sake is just so good, it surpassed the bar! Or even better, they raising the bar!The only minus from this series is its duration. It's too short for delivering such a complex storyline. The series itself is already good but there's still some confusing part like the explanation of why myung ha got transferred to game world, sang won's feeling development towards myung ha, and also who's that person that myung ha called 'sunbae'. It feels like everything just floating around without proper explanation.
If only they make it longer.. 10 episodes would be perfect! At least they got another ±50 minutes to explain it more thoroughly.
But overall, it's good. it's MORE than good actually. So so so good. 2024 k-bls after LFLS are gonna STRUGGLE bc the bar once again has been lifted higher than last time!
For the acting, i don't have anything to complain! Total superb. Also hands down to the casting staff, they choose the perfect myung ha and yeo woon!
Lee Taevin potrayed Myung Ha so perfectly! The emotions reach me thru the screen! I can feel how frustrated and sad myung ha is! His eyes just speaks! Very good acting!
Cha Joowan.. i— i am so satisfied with him as Yeo Woon. His acting is so good! He's just soooo precious like he can deliver how vulnerable yeo woon can be when he's around myung ha. And not to mention how puppy he is T_T
My favorite scene is totally when he begs.
Oh, also, i LOVE the little kisses T_T on the lips, on the cheek, I love all! It's so cute +_+ and for the REAL kiss, it's an easy top 5 best kiss of entire K-BL kiss. I don't actually want to mention this but, the way yeo woon smile in between their kiss is justtt givee a bit more flavor to the kissing scene itself and I've been crazy about it for these past few days!! They ate, totally ate.
That's it for me!

Didn't meet my expectations.
I read the whole manhwa years ago, thinking the series would relive some of my memories, it does not. They change so many things from the manhwa it feels like a different story💀 i literally re-read the manhwa bcs i thought my memories wronged me, because i remember vividly that seheon's father was a young professor, and taejoon was his student. so when i saw seheon's father is a strict old man i was like ??? and taejoon being a highschooler too makes me ????? more. I thought why would they make it so extreme, an old man with a highschooler?? turns out they create a new character (seheon's brother). i kinda understand, cause maybe it's the censorship or they want to make the series more general friendly, not really mad about it but still they changed way too much.the series explained NOTHING. the story's too complex to fit in 8 episodes. why tf are they cutting the fucking explanation to some running scene, like... at least put a voice over about the brother explaining about what happened??? ik they showed a bit of taejoon and seheon's brother story but MAKE IT CLEAR?! seheon's brother is indirectly the cause of taejoon's death, and how tf taeyi is FINE after listening to the "explanation"?? I mean this whole story is revolve around his trauma, his insomnia caused by his brother's death, he was eager to know why would his brother doing it, and after he found out, he's just like that? oh come on!?
also in the series they make taejoon and taeyi so.. idk i got the wrong vibes from them.
Next, Why's seheon's dad literally poof gone??? after seheon ran away we never seen his dad again, not even once.. he can't missed one of his practice at home before but he suddenly can participating in a whole competition?? Playing jazz?? oh ok..? they make his dad's favoritism a big thing in the beginning and make it disappears just like that🤷🏼♀️ the story is just really all over the place, the pace is very disorganized. But surprisingly, they kinda nailed it with the second couple's story, maybe because it's less complex??🤷🏼♀️
should i even mentioned the acting—? I think we all know? It's not like bad bad but it's not good. Especially the main couple, the chemistry way off bro they don't act like couple at all! Taeyi's actor got more chemistry with Taejoon's actor and Doyoon's actor than with his own partner... damn.. but some scenes are fine tho.
Taeyi's actor failed big time, he didn't conveyed any feelings, he can't cry, his smile is stiff n his expression is flat. he reminds me of bright, from the (uhmm) acting, the expression, even the stiff awkward smile HAHAHAH (sorry).
Seheon's actor is just so so, i remember him in To my star, he stands out well in to my star, but idk he lost his sparks in his own series, he's not that bad but i just feel like he's missing something from his act.
Juha's actor did fine, he didn't have much screen time but he actually did great i mean he potrayed the asshole aura/vibes perfectly.
Doyoon's actor, i love him. he acts very naturally yet awkwardly, it's his first time acting no?? Cause yea i can see it and he did great tho, he's got the potential!
the 2nd couple chemistry is super good too, maybe if maybe they got another series together.. they'll totally gonna make it big..
last but not least, the ending.. haahhh I don't have much too say, they ruined the storyline, ofc they ruined the ending too, so abrupt, and out of nowhere. Jazz for two is my favorite manhwa, and when they announced the series i was so hyped and the actors are good looking too, didn't expect those visuals are the only thing that carrying the whole series.. I'm being generous by giving this 6/10 because this was my favorite manhwa and i have a very high expectation.. should've expect nothing.

I don't understand shit.
I seriously don't know what story they want to deliver?? Everything just happened so fast? I don't actually compensate about the 'duration' as an excuse cause where your eyes linger has the same duration even lessthan this series and they still can deliver the story perfectly.
The acting is so so? Not that good but they kinda nailed it on eps 7 ngl. The chemistry also so so, they don't seem that close but not that awkward either.
And the kiss scene? Well glad they aren't that type of korean bl who play with camera angle💀 and i think the only korean bl with a kiss on ep 4?? Cause mostly would had it on ep 8.
The cinematography of this series actually quite good

Best one yet!
This. Just this. I wish i could submit this review just by saying this. This one is so good! I thought i wouldn't be able to find any good Korean BL after blueming, but this!! Damn it's so good!The storyline is so so so so good, even compared to other K-BL who got adapted from manhwa. This one is just hits different.
I got a very very strong SKAM vibes on this drama, with the realistic characterisation and problems, the scene? So many similar scene! Like the last 2 episodes of this drama literally screams SKAM. They even did the iconic "the morning after" scene. (It's also been confirmed by one of the actors that they do watch skam for reference).
The acting? Phenomenal. The chemistry is THERE. Like you know no awkward move, and no awkward kiss. They actually go for it.
And the song? I was shocked when they use Conan's song! They got BUDGET. (And yet another skam reference? By using popular pop song).
Anyways, it's recommended. If you like skam, go for it! Totally worth your time!

So underrated!
I hate how underrated this show is! I swear it's so good?? It's totally a game changer to Korean BL! They set the bar so high! The chemistry, the acting, the storyline, all perfect!I love how the characters actually communicate, they talk about the problems through.
And are we gonna talk about the silhouette scene?? Totally a game changer to all other bls!! They need to step up the game!!
I'm blaming IQIYI for releasing all the episodes in one go! They could've make way more bigger sound if they released 2 episodes/week. I curse you iqiyi.
Idk yall but this is the example of perfect korean bl to me.
Istg if they ain't got no s2 imma cryyyy!!!

I loved it.
First of all, yes I'm a sucker for visuals. If you are too then don't hesitate to watch! Their visuals are on my top 3 in japanese bl, number one is kieta hatsukoi and followed by my beautiful man on number 2!Second, I didn't expect anything bcs of the rate i literally watched it bc i didn't have anything to watch and i swear it's the best decision ever. People's taste are surely different each person. Maybe because slowburn is my favorite trope? Slowburn+good visuals? I'm down! Also their acting aren't bad either? The storylines are fine too
In short, I love this drama, they give me butterflies, and their first kiss? Hands down the smoothest one yet.
Worth my time!

Too fast.
I thought this drama would be more focused on the korean guy and the taiwanese guy relationship, because they only have 10 episodes and the duration is only 15 minutes per ep, turns out no. Even korean bl drama with 8/9 episodes still lacks on storyline though they focused only on ONE couple. But this drama have 3 COUPLES with those very limited duration, there are so many lacks in story line, don't see any clear 'developments', everything went too fast.Actually the main plot is interesting and not-so common. But if only they have longer duration... Yeah.
Heard that they'll have the second season of this? I hope they doing it better. But if they still pushing it like this 10 episodes/15 minutes per ep with 3 couples and 3 different stories? It won't do.

THE ACTING IS TOP TIER
I unexpectedly really like this drama?? When i watch the first 3-4 episodes, I really can't stand this drama because the amount of the secondhand embarrassment i got from A-fei. He basically just run wherever tang-yi is and that's just embarrassing. I literally stopped watching it for solid 2 weeks. But then i give it another shot then boom? It's not that bad **after the development** (i don't see much development tho they basically just //go with it// and yeah)1. CHEMISTRY
I loveeeeee their chemistry. Especially the second couple! I love both couple but the second couple just *chef's kiss*
They're all look so comfortable with each other! I watch one video on youtube where they play some type of game? The game is very intimate like feeding each other with mouth and they all nailed it, chris and jake even held hands the whole round game and that's proving their chemistry on/off drama are very good.
2. ACTING
In this one I'm gonna only highlighted on Chris wu's acting. All actors are good but i just wanna talk about chris.
There's one scene where //his father// hugs him and he cried. THAT'S IT. HIS TEARSSSS HE DOESN'T EVEN BLINK, HE DOESN'T EVEN CHANGE HIS EXPRESSION BUT THE TEARS JUST FELL, JUST LIKE THAT. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DOING IT LIKE HIM. i really liked it really really liked it.
3. PLOT
I like how they manage to balancing the storyline and the skinships . Each of it is just enough. They manage to tell us about the story but also at the same time give us some love story. I like it i really like the balance. But of course there's still so many missing pieces. The police who killed Tang guo dong and LiZhen, how they get into it and what's the police captain contribution in it. About jack who betrays tang-yi? And that idk that another police who scolding A-fei in front of many people but he ends up the one who meet Jack and receive the hard disk? And pretty sure that chen wen hao is died right? I don't know 🤷🏼♀️
4. ENDING
Okay, about the ending. I'm 50:50 about it. In one side i like the way they don't forget about who they really are. Yes one is a mob, one is a police, and they have to abide the law. But in other side??? Like why just why? Why would they put tang-yi on jail???? I just- they can make it better but i guess this just fine then, really hope they gonna make the 2nd season because #freetangyi
5. KISSES
I'm shocked with how many kisses we got in this series. It's just a lot and yes the make out scene djshskshsj. I first thought that because this drama is enemy to lovers troop they are not gonna give us //many// kisses because yeah they wee //enemy// right? But i was wrong. The kisses are just 👌👌 and the fact that each kiss just so natural? There's no pressure at all, i just loved it.
My favorite kiss is when shorty kissed jack when he said "i'm hungry" djhsjs that's just it!!!
I forget to talk about the straight couple here. They don't have much story- i mean they don't tell us much about them so yeah, at least they know how to kiss?
Well, that's it for now. Might editing this later? Or not idk. And yes, i highly recommend this series.
This is a very very unprofessional review. All are based on my understanding and opinions so if there any wrong words, i apologize.
