Fourever in my heart!

I loved this series so much. It was almost perfect. The pacing and editing was a bit hard to take at times, especially if you had the wrong expectations going into it. I watched it from day one and at times it was torture. Johan and North were really the shinning light of the series. I loved Hill and East too, but Jo and North were something else. I've been waiting for a good show that Bas was in and this was definitely it. Maxky came out of nowhere for me. I had never remembered him in anything I'd seen before, so he was new to me. It was a crazy experience, but I loved every minute of it. I hope Maxky and Bas continue to work together, if they want to. The BL powers that be would be crazy to let that ship go to waste. Truly lightning in a bottle.

I wish it was more consistent throughout and the dialog was almost there, but they reused a lot of lines. Those were some missed opportunities imo. However, it was only a handful of times I ever remember a couple outright saying how attracted they were to their partner. In most series it feels like they shy away from that for some reason. North even tells his mom was a handsome bf he's got lol. I love North's character so much.
I really hope they make a second season and include JohanNorth and HillTer. The whole cast is really great.

It's a drama about love lost and love reignited mixed together with the present and the past. It's only about 2 of the 4 novels. Hopefully we will be seeing the other 2 couples in season 2.

Honestly, this drama is probably an 8 or 9, but it made me feel like a 10. What a fun trip and well worth watching. See y'all for the next one.

Good Premise

Super cute story when they are together. I loved the cast and the story idea is pretty great. I also love Domundi. They almost always fall a tad bit short. Idk what it is. It's something that if they'd change just a tad, they would be unstoppable/dominating all others in the industry.
I would say they play it too careful, but they don't.
Maybe it's how some of the charaters act too childish? Idk

I think it has a lot to do with how they are directed to act. They don't feel like real people. It feels like they start to over think how they are acting. If that makes sense. It kind of takes you out of the series.

Well at least we can see more of Yim's acting skills than him always doing roles that are timid, or whatever you want to call it.

It would be interesting to see if it was YimTutor instead of TutorYim. I wonder how the dynamics would change.

I really enjoyed Tutor and Yim's acting when they are their fantasy selves. I wish they could do more roles like that. I don't really think any of them are bad actors, they are all kind of stiff and too careful when they act.

Again, they showed us with the fantasy scene that they can act in a different way, so I really hope they can do more of that. Fantasy or not.

An experience like very few others

Suggestion:

If you watch the series, don't read comments and spoilers, don't even read the synopsis lol, just go watch it. There are plot twists. I sadly knew some of the major ones and while I'm kind of glad I knew what going to happen, I would have felt everything much deeper and I would have wailed my eyes out a lot more if I hadn't seen anything.

I'm not trying to over sell it. This drama could have been more polished. I'm not saying it's the "best drama ever", but the way it made me feel was undeniable. That is what makes it one of the best dramas to me.

Review: **Spoilers**

Oh man, this series made me feel a certain way. I will truly miss it. A big thank you to the actors, director, screen writer, cast, and crew for this beautiful series. You all did a fantastic job creating something different.

I like the premise of it. I think it would be cool to see another BL that kept with the theme of a different story line for each episode because they are soul mates finding each other again. Like the synopsis, but what this was, was interesting too.

Each episode was pretty good. Especially, with the time contraints. Trying to show us a complete story in less than an hour for some of the episodes was ambitious, but I feel like they did it well. The seires was just over all different.
The tears were real, the emotions were raw, it was just a beautiful experience and I'm glad I was apart of it.

I feel like Top and Mick shot up to the top of "need to watch actors". I know Top has another project coming up with a different pairing, but I think Top and Mick's chemistry is insanely good. Too good to waste. I really hope they work together again.

If they can find their way back to doing more projects together in the future, it feels like they could really hone their craft better and work extremely well with each other.
While I don't really "ship" people (I'm more of a "shipper lite". As in, I like to see people with good chemistry together, but if they don't they don't and if they do they do.), they could be one of the top ships in the industry, if they wanted to.
It's hard being an actor, but it's freaking hard being a BL actor imo. If you can master it, that in itself deserves accolades.
But it might not be their goals. They both definitely have more potential to show us and I can't wait.

The OST was basically 1 song, "Every Tears" by Sin. But that 1 song had a deep impact on me and added to this experience. I've had it on repeat and it brings me back to the series when I listen to it. I wish I could find an English lyric version of it on yt, but so far the only translation of the lyrics I've seen are when they translate it on the show. 10/10 beautiful.

The last episode was a little rushed and messy, but considering the series is only 8 episodes and they didn't get to "their story" until the last epsiodes, I think the actors both did a fantastic job.

Overall it was a 10/10 for me.

❤️❤️❤️❤️Every You, Every Me❤️❤️❤️❤️

I absolutely loved it!

The way this story made me feel was 100/100. 🥰💯. It was probably like a 8.5/10, but because how it made me feel I can't give it less than a 10.

My 17 year old cat passed away about a month before this started. He loved to watch all the dramas with me. He would either tuck himself snug by my stomach or he would be standing up straight by the corner of my bed while watching the show. He genuinely liked to watch my dramas with me. This was one of the first dramas I started watching again after... I felt everything deeper when I watched this. I wish he could have watched it with me and listened to the songs too. ❤️

I wish the epsiodes were longer and the story was written a bit better and more full. It got kind of messy at some points. They glossed over some things. Some things they didn't let permeate fully.
At times they went in a direction that didn't make sense, but overall, at the heart of it, the story is really great.
Dealing with many traumas. Losing someone close and having to deal with the after effects ontop of actue stage fright is almost impossible.

To me the theme is love is so powerful, it can help you move forward. I relate to this alot. I've had it happen to me before. Love is so powerful and healing.

The songs were amazing. If the story was developed a little bit more and they added more songs omg... perfect. I didn't expect the chemistry between the two main leads. I had my doubts, but again, it was amazing. Those two were really something. So much so, I wish they'd do more bls together. ❤️

I have a bit of a rant about something I've been seeing a lot more now that we are getting series with 2 or more languages in the same seires...
I personally love when they have multiple languages. Again, something I've personally experience so its not strange or unreal to me. It actually makes me excited. And its not like it doesn't make sense. They literally told us Orca was an exchange student. It was super cool to see Neil befriend him and bring him into his circle. It shows Neil's charater trait of being kind and friendly.
People can't interact with each other if they don't speak the same language? They explained what it was and they even still showed the difficulties of the language barrier. To me that is very realistic from personal experience.
I'm not sure why people hate on it so much. It's translated anyways. For most of us, it's not like you're not watching a show that you can understand without subtitles anyway. Adding another language is fine. It makes it more real, like they are interacting with other people other than in their comfort zone. It helps bridge us together globally. It surprises me that people who hate on multiple languages in a series are the same ones who looks for different languages to watch than their own.
End of rant.

Overall, it was an amazing experience and kept me counting down the hours to watch it. I really hope Charles and Michael work together again ❤️.

Thank you to everyone who worked hard on this series. The actors, the behind the scenes crew, the writers, and director. 👏 👏 👏

Sometimes you dance in the rain and sometimes you don't

I liked the story and complexities of the issues they tried to show, but I really really did not like the characters. It kind of surprised me that I did not like that characters, because there are very few dramas that have made me feel that way and those are usually really dark. This one isn't dark, just... eh.
Typically I don't mind nitty-gritty, toxic stuff, but there was something about these characters that I just really couldn't get over. I think there are certain negative character depictions of a character while trying to also hold them as a "good person" without showing their positive qualities isn't for me. It's something different than someone with human flaws and/or someone trying to better themselves. It was confusing at times and there were no other qualities to grab onto.

The story is nothing new. They talking about gray areas of cheating and control. I'm glad they tried to talked about sex in a relationship in a positive way. I didn't like that it was kind of mangled with expecting another person to stable or satiate another persons mood/sex desires without pointing out how that was wrong. It made me feel like people just expect that crappy situation and it leaves you feeling kind of hopeless in a way. Maybe if the episodes were longer, they could have explored that more instead of leaving a lot as interpretation.

The acting was alright. All the elements just didn't line up for me to like it that much. I'm not saying no one else should watch this. Others enjoyed it, you might too or you might not. It just wasn't for me and that's okay.

No Monster here! Just Turtle.

I had been waiting for this drama last year. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was different than the plot/trailer I watched.

The turtle situation was a bit annoying the first half of the series. Mostly because they really really focused on that turtle guys personality and did not let up. But I swear this drama changed my perspective. It made me more tolerant and I got what they were trying to do.

After they started getting into the whole point of the drama I was like "Oh, I get it.". We are not judging, we are listening and trying to understand.

I absolutely loved it. I loved their very different personalities, I love how they did what they wanted seperate and stuff together, I loved that they truly accepted one another. It was great.

I've re-watched it a couple of times and I will re-watch it more.
