I enjoyed it!

So far I am seeing this series being separated by two types of viewers- those who hate it and those who like it. I am in the latter. And that's okay! Cause everyone has different personal preferences. It's up to the individual to form thier own opinions when they watch this series.

Story-9/10
I was in the beginning giving this series an 8/10. However, the latter part of the series I actually liked as they touched on issues that I personally wasn't expecting them to touch. So for that, I raised my ratings to a nine (I still felt that it had something that I don't like, so I can't give it the full ten).

Acting-9/10
I actually liked everyone's acting. They were able to keep my attention and was able to get a chuckle or two sometimes out of me. I was very impressed by Choi Youngjae as this is his first acting gig as a ML.

Music-10/10
People are not going to change my mind! The music is a clear 10/10! Loved the OST and just hearing Youngjae singing so beautifully! I was so happy! I played the OST all the time for every episode. That's how in love I am of the song as well as Youngjae's voice.

Rewatch Valu-8/10
I give this an 8/10. Cause while I did enjoy it and don't mind rewatching it again, I just don't see myself watching it immediately- but I do see myself watching it sometime soon.

Overall-9/10
Overall, I enjoyed this series. Maybe I was the targeted audience (I highly doubt it). But what I do know is that yes, I would recommend this series to others.

Some scenes were tedious, I admit. But it was still cute and enjoyable

I stumbled on this series and saw the synopsis of it. At first, I was wondering if to even watch it as it seems to be focusing on some storylines that I do not like in BL's that are used consistently. However, it was a cute and enjoyable series for me, personally.

Story-7/10
I will say that they are some parts of this series that was a bit tedious. But, they were some parts that I did enjoy in this series. I was glad that they resolved the storyline of the teacher/ student with Maping stating that he did not have feelings for the teacher that way. I was also glad with Q and his budding relationship with the senior who delivers food. I wish that this series had explored them more.

I maybe in the minority here, when I say that I actually did not care for the relationship of Choi's tutor and the baker. They actually did not add anything for me, which is weird. I actually like Prab and Choi together, although they are step-brothers. And this is due to the fact that that I think Prab liked Choi from before thier parents got married. So, it actually wasn't super weird for me. Prab and Choi's parents know about them and I was actually shock that they accepted them, eventhough in the beginning Choi's dad was angry and gave the boys ultimatums until in the end he agreed to the boys dating. Also, who the frick on the frack is the Frog Prince?! Cause I thought it was Tri. But now, it's lookong like it wasn't him or that there is a new Frog Prince, which apparently we will find out who it is in Season 2 (hopefully).

Acting/Cast-7/10
The acting wasn't that good. But I don't think it was that bad as well. Some scenes stood out to me for some of the actors and that's why I give it a 7.

Music-8/10
Hear what? Not going to lie but the music actually slapped in this series. I liked all of the songs that I heard.

Rewatch Valu-7/10
I actually do see myself watching this series again. It may not be anytime soon, but in the future- sure, why not! It was an enjoyable series that I spent my Fridays with and I am grateful that I gave it a chance.

Overall- 7.5/10
Overall, I enjoyed this cute series. I will agree with the majority that the shirtless sequence wasn't needed for this series, especially when some of these actors look so young and it can be very off putting for new viewers if they see that.

These episodes are what we would have gotten with WRU? if they were no COVID-19

I was so happy upon hearing news that Saifah and Zon were getting special episodes so that thier love story will be told. I waited with baited breath in anticipation for this couples missing story pieces. Watched the episodes and I would say this- two out of three episodes were good for me.

Story-8.5/10

As I stated before, I loved the first two out of the three episodes. I felt that they added the pieces hat we werw missing from this couple from WRU? The third episode, I am still scratching my head and wondering did we really need it. Cause for me, it's a no.

Acting/Cast-9.5/10

I loved all of the actors acting, especially the characters of Natee and Tanthai!

Music-9.5/10

Totally adore the OST and once again we get Zon and Saifah singing thier song!

Rewatch Valu- 7.5/10
I will rewatch the first two episodes as they were really good to me (in my opinion). However, I still don't see the point of the third episode. So...yeah.

Overall- 9/10

This is not a new story- these are the missing parts of Zon and Saifah storyline. Don't come here looking for something and then getting confused. I would recommend this to other people, but with WRU? so that they can hopefully get the full storyline of a series that got messed up due to COVID-19. In fact, if both WRU? and Zon and Saifah story were combined as one, I feel that I would have given WRU? a higher rating.

This ain't BL- this is a masterpiece!!!

There are only three BL series that I was diehard eagerly wanted to see in he year 2020. The first one is A Tale of Thousand Stars- which got pushed back to 2021. The second one was Manner of Death- which is coming out on November 30th. And the third one, without even knowing the storyline was I Told Sunset About You. Where everyone was hyping up well known BL series that were coming out, I was hyping this one up. And it did not disappoint.

Story- 10/10
It's a simple story that was beautifully told betwee these two great actors (who I first saw in My Ambulance). They were friends when they were younger, ended up enemies. They met each other some years later and it's from here we end up on an emotional rollercoaster. Everything that they did had me glued to my seat, watching hem when they got close, when they fought, when they cried, when they passed for university and even when they (finally) became boyfriends. It was so tastefully done and I can honestly say, I saw no flaws in this story.

Acting/Cast- 10/10
This is the second series that I have watched with both Billkin and PP Krit and both times thier acting blew me away. I was rooting for thwm in My Ambulance, but was devastated with the outcome. Due to that, I was a bit cautious in watching this series, although I wanted to support it. I am glad that I did, cause these men can act! Some of these BL actors may need to take some points from them, cause these guys are in a total different field.

Even the supporting characters were awesome. From Teh's mom and brother, to Bas and even to Tan- I felt thier pain and support in this series.

Music-10/10
The songs are mesmerising and addictive. The OST is so beautiful that I don't mind hearing it again and again.

Rewatch Valu- 10/10
Eventhough this series made me ugly cry so much on just five episodes, I would most definitely watch it again. It has everything that I have been looking for- amazing actors, a simple yet beautiful story and amazing songs.

Overall- 10/10
I would most definitely recommend this show to people. It is truly one of a kind as I see it as a masterpiece!

I'm split on this series

I will admit it- it wasn't that good. However, it wasn't that bad either. Yes, I can say that this Korean BL isn't up to par to the other Korean BL's that I have watched and I am even comparing it to some STRONGBEERY series (Long Time No See and My Pistachio) that I have watched. But! I did enjoy watching it.

Story-7.5/10
If you are looking for a realistic Joseon Dynasty historical drama, I got news for you- continue looking. This series ain't it. But if you are looking for something to pass the time away- go ahead and give this a go. Yeah, there are so many things that were brought up like how the mother and sister hasn't realize that Ryu In Soo's wife has an Adam's apple. But, you know what? I'm not going to dwell on that.

The synopsis the series sounds promising. But like most Koren BL's, time is the issue here. There is not much time to develop he proper flow of this series, so it feels like there are missing pieces to the story (that hopefully the movie version will be able to bring).

Acting/Cast-8/10
In all honesty, I liked all of the actors. Especially Jang Eui Soo. I felt like when he was in a scene, he stole the show.

Music-8/10
I liked the music.

Rewatch Valu-7/10
While I may rewatch this series, I am not that eager to watch it anytime soon. So, for that reason I give it a 7.

Overall-7.5/10
Overall it wasn't a strong series like the other Korean BL's that I have watched. But I still enjoyed myself watching it every Thursday for these past four weeks.

Watch at your own risk

The adjectives that I could use to describe this series are not very pretty. And I feel bad for those who were excited and curious to see the continuation of this couple cause for me personally, it was a letdown. And I choose to binge watch, cause sometimes that helps in watching a series. However, sadly that wasn't the case. If anyone who is reading this still wants to watch this series...well then- watch at your own risk!

Story- 3/10
Here's the thing- if it was only Golf and Bank and maybe the storyline with one of his friends and the guy with fewer episodes, then maybe this series could have been salvaged. But then we are introduced to secondary characters who are not linked to the main couple except for the fact that they are attending the school that Golf and Bank previously did (except for Hungray who was a student of one of thier friends).

Also, while I have come accustomed to typical BL storylines and would tolerate like one or two in a series, this one had a field day (with at least two of them sleeping with druken boys that I clearly did ot see as consent) as well as older man teying to force themselves on the younger men cause they have some form of power over the success of the younger men.

And what's up with that ending? Giving us a wrap up story that no one clearly asked for. I mean, Arm broke up with Bank so that he could be happy but they really wrap t up and say 'he dies a month later in a car accident? ' What the frick on the frack?! Nah! This just wasn't it for me!

Acting-5/10
I'm giving this score cause while the storyline was shit (I don't care what anyone says- it was), I can say these actors honestly tried. So I will give them half for thier effort.

Music-2/10
Unfortunately, nothing stood out for me. Like...really, nothing.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
Why? Cause I can't give it a zero.

Overall-3/10
This is now officially the second worst series that I have watched after I Am Your King 2. And yes I watched WTD and WTD2:FC. But still...this was worse than them. And it's unfortunate, cause at the ending of the series it was said that the movie before this series started LGBT shows in Thailand. And, five years later, we are given this hot piece of mess. I will most definitely not recommend this series to anyone.

Surprisingly cute

This is the fifth series from Star Hunter that I have watched and I must say that this one is the best one to date. It was a cute and simple storyline that i easily enjoyed watching these past five weeks.

Story-8/10
While the story doesn't really offer anything new, it was still done in a way that got me eager to come back and watch it every week. And whilevI may knew the direction that it is going, it still surprised me when they took it in that direction. And so for that I gave the story an 8.

Acting/Cast- 8/10
The casts actually surprised me. Especially since I watched Jet and Jame in a previous series (Gen Y) where they were fighting over another boy. And most of the viewers thought that they would have been better together. And here we actually get a series with them- and they are better together! All three actors in the main role did a great job!

Music-7.5/10
The music is cool and relaxing to listen to. So for this I give it a 7.5.

Rewatch Valu- 8/10
I honestly do see myself watching this again.

Overall- 8/10
Overall I enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised. If anyone wants a quick watch with no jealous girlfriend or objecting parents, this is the series to watch!

Time to give Filipino BL's a break cause....no

Well, I did it! I was able to sit down and watch all of the episodes of this series and now I am officially done with this series! And this is one of two things that was good about this series! I'm done and I don't need to wonder about what happened to Bryce and Ethon and thier relationship and I no longer have this series on my On-Hold list.

Story-3.5/10
The storyline is to me, personally, a hot mess. The producers and director had an idea about this series and was promoting it so much that bit got me excited. And then I watched the show. I had to put this series on hold at episode four- that's how bad this was to me.

Anyway, storyline! Ethon is a big shot actor, who mets Bryce (at the end of episode two, but they don't talk to each other until episode four), cause he threw down some expensive s@#t at an exhibit (I think?) and Ethon told them that he would pay for it. Of course Bryce has to work it off for him and all of this was planned cause APPARENTLY Ethon likes Bryce! So, he goes and works for him and somehow Bryce and Ethon are in a relationship that we don't see except through a montage. Something happens in episode seven that affects Bryce and Ethon's relationship. And then the ending...wow! I can honestly say that I did not see that coming ( it still didn't make the series good).

Yeah, and they expect me to come and watch the sequel called 'Worth the Wait' after watching this hot mess unfold in these seven episodes. And I would also like to add that Bryce totally deserves better friends.

Acting/Cast-2/10
Everyone's acting sucked. NO ONE could have saved this series. I'm just....ugh!

Music- 9/10
The only good thing about this whole series is the music. Loved every song thatvwas played!But I advise people to find a way to listen to these songs besides watching this series, cause no one deserves to put themselves through so much torture to only listen to some good songs.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
If I coud give this series a 0 or a 0.5, I honestly would! One is too high for this as I know that there is no way in hell that I would rewatch this series again!

Overall-4/10
The music is what made this series score so high of 4/10. I would not recommend this series to anyone. Also, this series made me realize that I need to not watch so much Filipino BL's, cause they are not producing the caliber that they did when they came out last year. May need to take a break from Filipino BL's now.

Just a breath of fresh air

I finished this series yesterday, but I am now finding the time to give a review. And what can I say? This series was indeed a breath of fresh air for me! I mean, the last Thai BL that I watched and I gave a 10 to was 'A Tale of A Thousand Stars' while the last good BL that I watched and gave a 10 to was 'Kieta Hatsukoi'. And yes, I know that this BL had some glaring flaws. However, the best parts outweighed those flaws for me, personally.

Stoey-10/10
It's a simple story that has been told many, many times. Yet, I feel in love with it. They were frenemies and became lovers. Heck- they were friends from since they were small behind thier parents back! And I felt that it was portrayed in such a beautiful way. And, okay, yes, Wai was a huge d@ck for doing what he did to them and not apologizing, but in the end, he accepted them.

And what I loved about this series that I am not seeing a lot of people are talking about is that the parents, while they don't like each other, they are very acceptable to whoever thier children are dating. Like Pran's mom accepted that her son would date a guy( she just didn't want it to be Pat though). And Pat's parents were totally cool that Pa was dating Ink (I'm sorry but tis is huge to me as I will forever be scarred by BL's parents who don't accept thier kids due to who they are dating). And coming down to the ending- like the parents know that they are secretly dating and have (kind of) just come and accepted it.

And, okay, I thought that it was a trival reason for why the parents hated each other. But when I saw an explanation for the reason- I understand why they became the way that they did. I'm not gonna say that this series is perfect in all of it's ways- yes they are flaws. But those flaws don't really stand out to me.

Acting/Cast-10/10
Hands down. One of THE best acting that I have seen in such a long time. From the amin cast to even the supporting role- they all were phenomenal.

Music-10/10
I love the music so much that it honestly didn't bother me, no matter how much times that they have played the song in the series.

Rewatch Valu-10/10
Yes! I will most definitely rewatch this series again. I love it so much! And I shouldn't be surprised because the director of this series, Backaof Noppharmach Chaiwimol, has developed phenomenal series over the years with outstanding actors and I will continue to support him!

Overall-10/10
Overall, I give this series a 10/10. I have stated in previous posts that for me it's how the actors and he directors are able to bring across a story that you have seen a 1000 times into a way that can either take our breath away or make you feel...meh. They were able to do the former for me and for that I am grateful. I would most definitely recommend this series to others to watch!

The concept for this series was very different compared to the normal BL series that I usually watch- that's why I decided to give this a chance. It was a slow journey as it was not officially subbed but a kind soul eventually subbed the whole series. There were some questionable parts in this series, especially in episode six and seven, like why do we always gotta resort to alcohol to progress not one, but both main couples relationships? Like why? Why couldn't it be done another way? Also, did Teng love Ko for Ko or because he drank the Love Posion?

Story-6
I am giving this story a 6 for some originality, cause although I may have seen this storyline in the Western world, I have not watched one in Thai BL concerning with using 'Love Posion' to make one of the main characters fall for the next one. For me, some parts just wasn't brought across good and some stuff that they used for humor was not that funny for me. Also, due to the usual plots to further a storyline (having sex while drunk or someone having a girlfriend), I feel that I need to give this story that grade.

Acting-7
I don't really care about people's acting, once it is a good storyline. Honestly, I only gave this high amonut due to Tak and his friends. Some people may find their characters annoying. but I truly enjoyed them. Everyone else either overwhelmed or underwhelmed me.

Music-5
The music was neither here nor there for me. Some I like. Some I didnt.

Rewatch Value-5
There is a fifty-fifty chance that I can watch this again. I won't anytime soon. But I can, like really further down.

Overall-6/10
It kept my interest till the end. And I actually wanted to know the outcome- which was a happy ending for both male couples.

I guess this wasn't it for me

I was excited when I heard that they were making a second season of 'Color Rush', cause we were finally gonna get answers about Yeon Woo's mom. But then to see that Goo Yoo Han (his probe) wasn't gonna be in it and that he was going to be looking for him- it had me scratching my head just a bit.

Story-5/10
I gave the story a 5 out of 10 because I felt that we only dealt with half of the synopsis. We found out about his mother. His probe is still missing. Also, I felt that we got less screen time from Jung Joo Haeng and Kim Min Jae- who I loved in the first season.

I honestly felt nothing with the introduction of the new characters (yes, even the new main lead).

Acting/Cast-7/10
Whilie I personally didn't like the story, I will say that I am a bit impressed with thier acting. And for that I give them a 7.

Music-8/10
The music qas actually the only good thing about this series. I liked the songs so much and for that I will give it an 8.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
No. Just...no.

Overall-5.5/10
Overall I give this series a 5.5 out of 10. This wasn't it for me. But I am glad that I gave it a watch. And if hey actually do go and make a season three, the new actor to paly Yron Woo's probe better be good.

If you are looking for a regular BL story from Thailand, this may not be the series for you. But if you are looking to watch a unique and different series that will have you both laughing and crying, give this series a chance. I personally took a break from Thai BL's, cause I was annoyed with the same repetitive storyline over and over again. I watched other shows from other Asian countries (some BL, some not) to replace Thai BL's for the time. And I think that it worked out for the best of me, cause it made me appreciate this more and to rate it for that instead of being all in my feelings over a series. Also, people need to realize that The Shipper is most closely like that of Great Men Academy and My Dew, not like the regular Thai BL that they are accustomed to.


Story-9/10
There was some aspect of the story that I liked, while there were a few that I didn't (one being the teacher/student relationship). This series dealt with love, life and death. It starts off in a comedic tone, but it does not stay there. Yes, I was rooting for Way and Kim to end up together, but they don't as it is revealed that Kim dies. I was devastated when this happened, but Kim told Way to live his life for him and not for anyone else. Yes, he loves him and they can't be together but he should live his life for himself to be happy, which I see as sad cause Kim lived his life for his parents and also for Way and not just for himself. And due to that he was not able to get the happiness that he wanted/deserved.

The first time I cried for this series wasn't even for the love of the boys but was with Pan and her stepfather. That's how I knew this was different. I wasn't crying over any of the boys but due to an actual love between the stepfather and his stepdaughter. That moved me so much. I was glad that in the end Pan choose her happiness over trying to make others happy and that her and Khet were boyfriend and girlfriend. P.S- I also adored every scene the Angel of Death was in. P.PS- the ending left kind of an opening for Kim as he may be able to comeback as he was given a proposition from a voice. Comeback as himself or as someone else, that is what is still left up in the air.

Why I didn't give this a full a score is due to the bullying that was included in this series, the cliche girlfriend and also the student/ teacher relationship.

Acting-10/10
All of the actors in this series were excellent. They were able to bring across a story and it was beautifully told. None of the characters, not even the supporting ones, dissapointed me.

Music-8.5/10
The beginning OST was so cute that it reminded me of an opening for an anime. And then in the last episodes with all of them dancing to the song was the icing on the cake for me. The ending OST was beautifully song as well.

Rewatch Value-8/10
I would rewatch it, but not right now. And that is due to the emotional rollercoaster that I was carried on by binge watching this series in a space of two days.

Overall-9/10
It was a great series. It taught lessons where one of them is be happy for yourself and not just for others. It took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, making me laugh, cry, be in shock and kept me on the edge of my seat for twelve episodes straight (not a lot of dramas can do that for me). I would most definitely recommend this to others to watch.

Thank you GMMTV! You have created a gem!

In the year 2020, there were only three (3) BL stories that I was eager to see. The first one was ITSAY- and it was beautiful. The second one was MOD- which carried me on a journey. And the third one was ATOTS. Unfortunately, ATOTS was pushed back to 2021. I waited and waited until it was finally announced that it was coming. And I was not dissapointed.

Story-10/10
What can I say about the story? I don't think I can put into words the beauty of this storyline. It carried me on so many emotions- smiling, laughing and crying at the characters on the journey that they were on. What I appreciated was how both of the MC's friends s well as Tian's father was accepting on the MC's relationship. That was new for me on how they supported them and even encouraged the MC's.

From the MC to the supporting casts, they all played a role. Everyone's acting was on point! When I was eagerly awaiting for this series to start, I had faith cause I knew the type of actor that Earth was, as I watched a few of his roles. And he did not dissapoint. I also would loke to acknowledge how great Mix was in his first role in a series. His acting was just unbelievable and knowing that tis was his first role- that really blew my mind. I am eager to see what else Earth and Mix can do, be it in another series together or by themselves.

Music-10/10
The music is so beautiful that every week I would play the opening OST and just sway with the music. I'm going to miss it so much!

Rewatch Valu-10/10
I would most definitely rewatch this series. Everything about it was perfect. I would also like to say that the director did not dissapoint me with this series. He never usually does. Matter of fact, the last GMMTV series that I gave a perfect score to was his series HCTM.

Overall-10/10
This series was so perfect. I don't know what I am going to do with my Fridays now as they are no moreTian and Phupha. I would most definitely recommend this series to others.

What can I even say?

The synopsis of this series is really the main reason why I started it. Cute and simple. When I was introduced to Ram and Lukchup, I actually found thier interactions a bit cute and awkward. Yet, as more and more episodes came out, other aspects of this series annoyed me to no end.

Story-4.5/10
I'm just gonna list out what I like and what I didn't.

What I liked:
☆ Ram and Lukchup's relationship and how it blossomed (to a degree)
☆ Thier families easy acceptance of thier relationship
☆Their friends
☆ The food that was made by Lukchup and his friends
☆ Lukchup's kindness. This character is a better person than me, after all that he went through.

What I didn't like (this is going to be long):
☆ The overplay of the evil 'girlfriend' (they never even dated, mind you). And okay, we know why Namning ended up the way that she did. But still, her character was a just too much
☆ Thirteen episodes of a series that I know could have been told in less episodes
☆ Praying for Paitong and Sky to end up together throughout the WHOLE series, only to actually see them together in the LAST episode! (And that kiss?! Yowzer!)
☆ Time jumps. I don't like time jumps. And it's not just one, but TWO! (One for a month later and one five years later)
☆ I really wasn't invested in Super and his girlfriend as the series really didn't focus on it. They just mentioned it in passing and I was like...meh when it happened.
☆ Bullying. It ain't cool. And the way it escalated. From bullying Lukchup in school. To bullying him online. And then to hiring people to beat him up?!! Like, seriously?!!
☆ Lukchup's kindness. While I liked it, I hated it sooo much! But as I stated earlier, Lukchup's character is a better person than me.

As such, I am graciously giving this storyline a 4.5 out of the kindness of my heart.

Acting/Cast-5.5/10
While I do like the cute and awkwardness of Lukchup and Ram's relationship as well as thier interactions with friends and families, some of these actors acting has been over the top (looking at you, Namning). And because of this, it can really spoil the series. Which it did. So, I'm gonna give a 5.5.

Music-8/10
Without a doubt, truly the only best thing throughout the whole series. I loved hearing it everytime I started this series and this is actually the only thing that I am going to miss about La Cuisine. So, I am giving an 8.

Rewatch Valu-2/10
It was okay the one and only time that I did watch it. I see no need to watch it again. Just saying.

Overall-5/10
Overall, I give this series a 5. I am glad that I gave it a shot and watched it. I am also glad that it is done.

I loved it

Apparently, I never thought that I would be saying this for this series, but this series isn't for everyone. Some people are pointing out flaws, which I guess is understandable. However, when I compare this series to some other shows that I watched this year, this series is in a higher standard than them. I mean, yeah, it's realistic and not what BL's have been giving us for years- but I still LOVED it!

Story-10/10
I honestly only saw one thing wrong with the whole storyline and it was that we weren't told the proper time frame in the last episode, so I can see why people can get confused. But I don't think I should take away marks for something that trivial. Otherwise than that, I loved this story of Vlad and Karl. I was happy when they were happy. I cried when they cried. I was glad that Karl admitted that, yes, he was gay, and also that he loved Vlad. Now, I was also actually happy that Vlad and Karl didn't end up together officially, cause Karl wasn't ready to come out and Vlad wasn't ready to go back in the closet for Karl.

The side characters were also enjoyable in this series, even Judit, who, at times, was hella annoying. I believe that they were there to guide the main characters during thier time when they were together.

Acting/Cast-10/10
All actors were good! They were given a script that they were able to portray beautifully. Yes, Palo (Karl) did start off a little rough in the beginning, but as the series progressed, his acting, for me, improved a lot as well. Vlad, hands down, was fricking awesome in this series! I do hope that he gets more roles as I do want to support him! Even the side characters were awesome in thier roles as well!

Music-10/10
The music was AWESOME!!! The songs were able to go with the scenes so beautifully and made you feel the emotions that was being portrayed in the series. Beautiful music! Loved every song!

Rewatch Valu- 10/10
I would watch this again. Why? It's a beautiful story that is being told to us. It also shows that sometimes Life is not like the movies that we watch where we wait for the happy ending. Maybe that's why I like it. Cause eventhough they aren't together as a couple, they got closure and they are friends.

Overall- 10/10
This series is truly a beautiful series. I would wholeheartedly recommend this series. However, if it is fluff and cutesy that you want- this may not be for you. If you want to watch a beautiful breathtaking series that touched real life stories and has a realistic and (for me) good ending, then give this series a go!
