Amazing, unique storyline
The story is so interesting and entertaining. Emotional damage in every episode, but it was so worth it. The acting was top tier, the chemistry was amazing, the character depth was there, the spicy scenes were well done. Ming *was* a red flag but he was so well-written and you could really understand his position as the series progressed. I felt like the actor for Tong was a bit weak, but otherwise a top tier show. So worth watching. I especially loved Poom as Joe. Pepsi also once again did a great job as a director.My only real criticism is how they wrapped up the plot in episode 12. The ending felt weak, with all conflict resolved very fast and not incredibly logically. But given the rest of this amazing show, I am so willing to excuse this weak point.

Funny, exciting, cute
This show is probably my favorite K-drama yet.Positives:
- Song Kang's acting is amazing (and he's just very gorgeous)
- interesting and well-written female lead
- well-thought out story line and fantasy elements
- funny side characters
- interesting villain
- thriller/gore-like elements
- very strong and good start & middle
- the soundtrack (the instrumentals!!!) is so good
- the insight into history and religion were interesting
Negatives:
- the last two episodes are much worse than the rest of the series and can't really compare - the plot and the character development feels out of place and uncharacteristic. This would have been better without the last two episodes (whose conflict could've been solved within minutes)
- some characters are a bit ridiculous/unserious and there are a few cringy moments
- the villains were a bit predictable but that wasn't the point, so it's fine
Overall really a great series. I especially loved Guwon, he was funny, pretty, epic, entertaining, and just great in general. The only real downside is that the show drops a bit in quality after/around ep. 13, but that is the case in many K-dramas.

Beautiful and heartbreaking
This is such a simple story, but Jes and Bible manage to give it such depth. The chemistry between the two is just so strong, and the characters feel natural and realistic. The yearning and heartbreak feels so real, and this movie just lets you feel all this raw emotion. The heart-wrenching of one loving too little and one too much is just so beautifully conveyed in just 20 minutes. Especially Bible once again showed his exceptional acting skill. I cannot wait for him to produce more content.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Not amazing, but not a waste of time
I'll keep this review short and sweet, a little bit like this show:Positives:
- The main actors were pretty and had great chemistry (especially in the (few!) intimacy scenes)
- The plot was interesting and entertaining
- The cinematography was very aesthetic
- The character of Inami was well-written
Negatives:
- There was unnecessary drama and miscommunication at times
- The writing was a bit flat at times, especially Kabu
- It could be a bit boring and slow sometimes
Overall, certainly not a bad BL. You can watch it and it's not a waste of time, you won't regret it, but it's not a must-watch either.

This movie is so painful, and you'll love it.
I kid you not, I had to sit down for two hours and stare at the wall after watching this. The story is heartbreaking and anxiety-inducing. The characters are painfully realistic. The cinematography is out of this world. The amount of angst this movie creates is impressive. It is a realistic portrayal of gay lives, and that is what makes it terrifying. The topic of internalized homophobia is one of the main focuses, and it is well executed and so deeply painful.I would recommend this movie only for those knowing what they're getting into. It will literally change your brain chemistry.
Rewatch value is high, because you can understand the depth of the movie even better, but nothing will hit you emotionally like the first watch.

The second part of the show is the far superior one
The first half of the show is fine. The acting is alright, the characters are entertaining, but it’s really not anything world-changing. The spicy scenes were well done though.THE SECOND PART HOWEVER is a masterpiece. The chemistry of FortPeat is off the charts, the trauma plot has depth and is very moving. The spicy scenes are amazing. I watched the entire show for the second part and was not disappointed. The wait is so so worth it. If the entire show was just SkyPrapai/FortPeat, it would be a solid 100/10. Just amazing.
In summary: the first half is alright, and the second AMAZING.

Cozy, cute, complex
This show is literally my all-time favorite comfort show. The characters are well rounded, well acted, well written. The plot is interesting. The cinematography is so cozy and beautiful. The actors are gorgeous. Almost all plot is executed logically and with great pacing. The few slightly steamy (not even really steamy) scenes were great and fit well. Great to rewatch as well. 10/10 would recommend. Also appreciation for Ritzu's hair please, it looks so good. Anyways, to wrap it up: literally such great, cozy show.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
not bad, just a bit boring and slow towards the end
I didn't drop this because it was bad, I just was a bit bored in the end and then forgot to finish and now it's too long ago... I might give it another try at some other point, because it was honestly fun. I liked the male lead. There was a long and slow drama at the end. The relationship developed fast, but in a nice way. Honestly a fun drama if you have the attention span for it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
