I tried to enjoy it
Let's start with the good (no spoilers):I love phuwin and neo as brothers: it's so silly and their dynamic really does feel like they're brothers
i also adore louis and pond as brothers: i really did not expect it but it's very cute and very different from phuwin and neo's pairing as brothers which makes a nice contrast between the characters.
i also adored neo x louis but that's because i also saw them in the eclipse together. seeing them here as a more silly and innocent couple made me laugh a lot (iit made up for the time i wasted with pond x phuwin)
the ensemble cast of neo's friends was great: i loved how they gave phuwin's character advice and helped him build confidence.
the supporting sidecharacters were tbh the saving grace of this series because there was nothing enticing about the plot of this series.
i liked louis' voice for the ost and mix too!
the bad:
everything else. Especially the story for the main couple. there is no valuable message or meaning that FUTS wants to convey to its audience and instead just tries to throw a mix of well-known faces at you and hope you don't see that the characters have no chemistry with each other, the script is corny and cringe and the drama is unoriginal and bland.
(spoilers)
oh gee another jealous ex-girlfriend who stirrs up drama at the end? who would've expected that? not me!
besides: wtf was up with the weird fan shipping thing??? i get that they're supposed to represent irl BL fans, but in the end in FUTS the shippers get rewarded almost??? like there are no consequences AT ALL for their invasive and obnoxious behaviour.
instead of spending time on the shippers, they could've spend more time on developing Mix' character or Mork, yk the actual love interest? all we know about him is that he's the best friend of mix and madly in love with Pi for years. but where is his personality? Like let him be funny, let him be actually caring and thoughtful towards not only Pi but also others, because he wants to be. LET HIM HAVE OTHER FRIENDS AND HOBBIES INSTEAD OF ONLY CHASING PI!!!
also i must say: i don't think pond acted very well in this series but im going to blame it on the script and directing bc this story just sucked and im sure he can act and isn't just a pretty face.
final verdict: don't waste your time. watch a different series.

mr heart: an overdose on fluff
i think one thing that K-dramas get right is the heartfluttering moments and the tooth rotting fluff, and 'Mr. Heart' wasn't an exception! It's your typical college romance BL with not too deep of a storyline tbh which did eventually make the finale less satisfying for me. Also because each episodes is only 10-15 mins. long and the series only has 8 episodes the writers really had to make sure thye used each minute well to showcase the main couple. This was well done imo, but i would've loved to see more of Sangha's own life (his family, friends etc.) besides Just Jin Won TM. Especially the loanshark storyline could've been fleshed out better and more cohesive because it kind of came out of nowhere.Overall, I really liked the production of the series and the small cast was great! There were a lot of cute moments between the two leads and the side characters were very funny! I do think they overused the weird 'French' (?) music. Sometimes i think it wasn't necessary to use so much background music, or at least if they had to use background music use a different tune? maybe some peaceful piano?
Anyway, it was a fun low-stakes watch and i would recommend it as a beginner BL series :)

Did not disappoint
It's not officially adapted as a BL because of censorship so I will not judge it on that (but i totally wish there was a real bl version of this series)This series is so so so much fun! I love the fantasy/historical aspect of this series. The mythology and sword fighting was very cool. I do have to say that i found it hard to stay focused times and I have dropped it many times before picking it up again after a month or so, but that's alright because this series has 50 EPISODES EACH OF 40 MINUTES LONG!!!! WHEW.
I think my second longest drama series i watched was extraordinary you (32 episodes). so. i was seated.
I also loved the ensemble cast of the younger generation from i believe episode 45 onward (Lan sizhui, etc. i forgot their names).
i dont have much to say that others havent already said, so go watch it! it's great!!!

Old fashion? No, a classic
a beautiful (but short) series tackling the process of adulting and reigniting the flames of passion for life, work and love.The story is a typical office romance for BL: one of them is in love and the other is oblivious to the advances until the breaking point and then they get back together after a tearful confession (looking at you cherry magic ;) ). A classic trope which can be seen as overdone or cliché but OFC was anything but that due to the unusual conflict/drive of the story: how to deal with having a midlife crisis?
The maincharacters were charming and compelling and the chemistry between the two leads was amazing!
I also liked the interactions between the ensemble cast. The script was also amazing, the confession reeally tugged on my heartstrings and Nozue/Togawa's expressions were both so beautiful.
My favourite quote is: "You must use your regret as fuel to burn for the motivation in the future"
(i paraphrased that)
I can't believe this series only had 5 episodes? They deserved more!!! I do think that some of the editing/cutting was at times a bit weird and confusing when switching between the past and the present but overall the series was of high production.
The cinematography was just *cheffs kiss*. They chose a lot of pretty lighting whether it's from the sunlight hitting the characters in the face, or the streetlights, so beautiful.
This series is a must watch!

so attracted to this
A great dramaseries!the chemistry between the two leads was amazing and i love me some well-executed slowburn. I think it's one of the better BL's out there with also a great side couple and hilarious sidecharacters (Charn's ex is still killing me).
The story had me hooked from the first episode and immediately showed us some action and laid the foundation of both characters: Charn is the opportunistic, corrupted and devilishly handsome (but also just devilish) lawyer whose heart only beats for money and Tinn is the protecting and caring uncle of an adorable little girl Tonkhao and who would die for the ones he loves.
i also think it's interesting to show how the justice system kind of works because oftentimes yes, those with money and power own the path of justice and use it for their own good...which is why we need to continue to fight and show them that we do not agree.
the pacing was just right in this series though i wished there were more episodes of just anything of these two characters because i just love them a lot.

it missed flavour
a friend told me to watch this and i had planned on doing so because i knew it was one of those staple BL's.It's not bad but it's also not great and there are tons of BL's with much better storylines and acting.
The 'fake dating' trope is a trope that's used so often in dramaseries and in BL and it can be repetitive but it can also be executed well! However, that is not the case for 2gether, but I think this is partially because of the lack of chemistry between the two leads? I felt nothingggg. I think they could've utilised the fake dating a little bit more by exaggerating it and showing us overly affectionate people as is normally the case for people who don't know how real couples act...alas! in the end it became a boring series which tried to be appealing but just did not satisfy especially the whole 'ex-girlfriend/crush' trope.

a heartwarming series!
First off: THIS WAS SO CUTE!!!The cast, the story, the acting was all just so marvelous!
I thought I didn't like overacting, but michida was just the perfect blend of goofiness and cuteness. And what about Ren? He was also the perfect fit for his character!!!
The chemistry between all of the characters was so great and natural, it really felt like a bunch of best friends! I also think that this is such a good BL for beginners and veterans alike because it is just SO well made!!!
This is one of those BLs that keeps you coming back for more!
The story and the main point of conflict is also very original and refreshing and although it's another highschool romance it didn't feel cringe to me which I often find that highschool romances have because the writing doesn't feel authentic. Kieta hatsukoi's writing feels VERY authentic!!!
This series is also so rewatchable because of the comedy and charming characters.
I only wish we'd gotten more screentime with Ida's dog mamatero <3
Anyways, GO WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!

An extraordinary series
I'm going to keep it short.This series has a very interesting plotline and interesting world which is what got me hooked in the first place. I think they execute it very well although some plotpoints could be explained better - but it did not bother me.
The cast is so great, i loved seeing every interaction between the side characters but also between the main characters. there wasn't a single moment where i was bored or indifferent towards what the characters were feeling. I felt very deeply for these characters and wanted so badly for them to have the happy end they wanted and deserved.
Go watch this!!! It's a classic and a staple K-drama for a good reason!!!

better but not quite there yet
so i didn't particularly enjoy 2gether so i didn't expect too much of these special episodes, but they proved me wrong! i enjoyed the acting much more this time although i still thought the chemistry was a bit lacking. The story line was just fanservice but i loved seeing more of phukong's storyline :) the music was great as alwaysVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Hilarious, witty and sweet!
Goodness the amount of times I've laughed because of this series, it's uncountable!!! I can't believe that this didn't get on my path earlier!The maincharacter is hilariously and painfully aware of himself and I love this so much! I also love the beautiful and talented ensemble cast and I especially love that yk, the MC isn't even homophobic, he just doesn't want to become one of those cheesy main characters in a BL manga, which is fair.
I also love the opening credits: the dance and the song are so addictive!!!
If you're a BL fan you'll certainly recognise the many tropes that are present in this series that are being put upside down and be able to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
So, go watch it! (I found it on daily motion ;) )

fun but a little different and confusing
I adored season 1 because of the silly and call outs of the truthfully ridiculous and unrealistic common tropes that we often encounter in BL - the jealous and possesive lovers, the picking up a random passed out drunk man like he's a stray puppy, the group blind dating only to leave with a guy etc etcSeason 2 was notably different in tone and story as it tried to focus more on the worldbuilding of the manga, which I liked and thought was interesting, but I also found it confusing and wished we had more elaboration on it by having more episodes.
Especially the mobu x kikuchi storyline that continued from s1 was a bit rushed (i mena it's a BL manga w story traps so i get the irony of me saying that it was rushed as all the scenarios that happen in the series are 'rushed'/instantaneous) and i wouldn't have minded to see more of them interacting and mobu going absolutely out of his way to avoid more story traps with kikuchi by friendzoning him very hard.
Anyways, i loved the acting again and i also loved the ost with their weird little 80s motor cycle gang fashion XD
If you liked s1 you'll like s2 too :)

weird but still fluffy and fun
This was the first BL i watched from strongberry and it was a lot of fun!Sure the premise of the story is strange at first, but it's also very funny and i liked the acting the most! the chemistry was great, and i think for such a short run time for each episode, the series did great in trying to convey the main message and develop its characters!
i loved uncle and milk's story but also jung woo and choco were adorable! i think if the company was able to produce longer videos, the series would have been even better but i'm still very satisfied with this watch.
it's heart fluttering and super cute so go watch it if you have some short time to spare!

a breathtaking ride
What a treat this show was!I had not expected this series to make me so nostalgic and emotional tbh and yet it did. The story of Futaba and Kou was so beautiful, I loved seeing both of the characters grow and take this journey. And not just the main characters, but all the side characters too! It was beautiful to see and I really recognised and related to their struggles. All the things they went through might seem like not that big of a deal from an adult perspective but remember what that time was like for yourself, and how it made you feel! I remember how sometimes it felt like the world was ending when I was in high school...Now i know better of course, but the younger me didn't know that! I'm glad i made it :)
I do have a big problem with the student x teacher relationship especially how it ended which freaked me out, but in general I was happy with how this storyline played out. It was so so so cute and I cant get over the beautiful scenery and camerawork! Bravo!
If you're wondering if you should watch this series: the answer is yes!

half-baked pie!
There was a plot I think? It was mainly a demonstration of how not to communicate with your partner.The most enjoyable parts were the music by Nunew and the side couple Nuer & Syn and the comedic reliefs. I remember that I was skipping through some episodes to watch the scenes between Nuer & Syn because it was just more interesting to me and the main couples were just so stagnant in their stories with no development or chemistry whatsoever.
I hated max and nat's storyline wtf was up with that??? and tbh. nat's acting really needs to improve bc no.
I did think Zee and Nunew had some moments of good chemistry and good acting together but these were kind of scarce for a 12 episodes series.
The cinematography was good especially the lighting in the clubs that kuea worked in.
But it did not take away from the fact that the story line was so weird and the characters were messed up. It was a bit boring and repetitive at the end with kuea being like 'oh i'm not good enough for you because i'm a rockstar :(((' which like. we did this before.
also, why does it feel like i don't know anything about lian even though he's supposed to have been dating kuea for like +10 years.
in short, the series fell flat because of the flat characters, repetitive plotpoints and bad processing of an ok-ish premise.
