Don't think, feel!
Hach. Ich fühle mich ein bisschen leer, nachdem ich das Drama nun beendet habe. Mit 32 Folgen war es eins der längeren Dramen, die ich bisher geschaut habe, da ich noch ziemlich neu bin, was kdramen angeht. Thirty but Seventeen hat viel Spaß gemacht. An manchen Stellen hat es mich aber auch unheimlich frustriert. Die fehlende Kommunikation, die verpassten Chancen...das war mir auf Dauer irgendwie zu viel, auch wenn es Sinn ergibt und realistischer ist, dass nicht sofort alles klappt. Die Figuren haben mir alle unheimlich gut gefallen, auch wenn ich Seo Ri manchmal doch ein wenig anstrengend fand mit ihrer kindlichen Art. Besonders die Freunde von Chan und Jennifer habe ich ins Herz geschlossen. Jennifer gibt so kluge Ratschläge! Das Drama gibt auf jeden Fall mehr her, als man zu Beginn vermuten mag. Es entwickelt sich langsam und nach und nach lernt man alle Charaktere kennen - und mögen. Man muss sich nur die Zeit dafür nehmen. Denn es lohnt sich ganz bestimmt. Man kann viel von den Figuren lernen. Aber auch der Humor kommt nicht zu kurz. Es gab Szenen, in denen ich wirklich viel lachen musste. Die Serie ist eine schöne Mischung aus Ernsthaftigkeit und Witz und ich bereue definitiv nicht, ihr meine Zeit geschenkt zu haben.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Gather my Tears
Vorab: Ich kenne das Original nicht, kann dementsprechend also keine Vergleiche dazu ziehen, aber:Ich liebe "A Time Called You".
Ich habe erst vor Kurzem angefangen, K-Dramen zu schauen und A Time Called you war mein viertes Drama. Davor habe ich zwei Serien geschaut, die eher nicht so toll waren, und nachdem mein drittes K-Drama (My Lovely Liar) mich so begeistert hat, hatte ich Sorge, kein Drama mehr zu finden, welches mich so gut unterhalten kann. Und dann fand ich A Time Called You. Zeitreisen gehören zu meinen Lieblingstropes, also konnte ich quasi nicht an der Serie vorbeiklicken. Ohne große Erwartungen fing ich die Show an und wurde von Minute zu Minute gespannter, wie die Serie sich entwickelt. Jede Episode zog mich mehr in den Bann. Die Serie gehört definitiv zu den: Nur noch eine Episode...nur noch..eine..Episode.. T_T - Shows. :D
Der Soundtrack ist unfassbar schön und ich höre Gather my Tears jeden Tag, wenn ich an die Serie zurückdenke und dieses Gefühl von Fernweh, Melancholie und Leere verspüre. T_T
Die Schauspieler haben für meinen Geschmack einen unfassbar guten Job gemacht. Vor allem Jeon Yeo-been, die zwei so unterschiedliche Charaktere gespielt hat, aber für beide galt: nailed it! Alle Figuren sind mir ans Herz gewachsen und ich habe über die Serie wirklich mitgelitten und unfassbar viele Tränen vergossen.
Für meinen Geschmack halten sich Ernsthaftigkeit und Witz gut die Balance und ich war keine Sekunde gelangweilt, sondern wollte unbedingt verstehen, was hier vor sich geht. Die Serie kann definitiv an manchen Stellen verwirrend sein, aber man sollte sich einfach auf sie einlassen.
Definitiv empfehlenswert! Ich bin ein bisschen lost, was gute Reviews angeht, aber ich liebe liebe liebe A Time Called You!

Fluff with no end in sight.
I can agree to all the positive reviews and don't want to write the same things like others did, so I keep it short. I absolutely adore both of them. Amane is such a lovely character. u.uTheir communication is great. No miscommunication, no drama, nothing annoying in this show. There's a scene in the last episode where Amane asks for consens and OH BOY I love it!!! It's a topic that gets so little attention in BL and when he asked my heart just melted, because I love love love it. It's an important topic for me so I was even happier to see it here.
Even though the show is short, I don't feel like something was missing. Of course I would love to see even more! Because they are adorable af! But the show of it's own is also great.
Ryujis acting could have been a liiiittle bit better. It's not bad at all! But his looks are sometimes a bit off.
Overall a big recommendation if you like fluffy shows without unnecessary drama. Both of them are fluff overload. Like I said, it just melts my heart.
This show is definitely comfy, cozy, cute and just so so so sweet. I enjoyed every second. It's just so much fun to watch them being together and it's so authentic and realistic, how they handled the topics "being gay" and their feelings for each other.
Oh, and: the soundtrack is absolutely great!
Go watch it! Now!!!

Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! (Uncut Ver.)
0 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
A masterpiece
I actually stopped writing reviews, but for this show, I feel like I need to share my thoughts. This will just be me praising every aspect of the show, so..don't expect much.I usually don't rate Thai BLs that high. Jack & Joker is actually my first 10/10 Thai BL. While I normally struggle with the episode length of most Thai shows, I enjoyed every second I spent with Jack & Joker. I prefer much shorter shows and I paused J&J after 20 minutes, when I first started it around the premiere. :'D Because I just couldn't bring myself to watch sooo long episodes. But then I came back shortly before the finale and I don't regret it at all! I didn't think in any moment, that this scene could've been shorten or cut or written differently.
Every character adds something to the story and they all grew on me. I will miss them so much. The comedy bits made me laugh so much, and while they toned it a bit down towards the last episodes, I love that they didn't get rid of it completely. Yeah, sure, it's not a drama for everyone. Maybe some people prefer only serious shows and will think the comedy is misplaced, but for my taste, it was perfect.
The cast is A-MA-ZING. Everyone got casted soo well. They fit their role perfectly and I couldn't imagine any actors for it. The acting is great, the OSTs is beautiful and the story kept me interesting through every episode, which really isn't easy with that length!
It's definitely not a romance focused show, but it has some romance, it has one of the best NCs I've watched (listen..I watched 452 dramas so far, I think I have definitely a ground to judge this.. :D) and the combination out of action, romance, spicyness and comedy was just like I like it.
I wouldn't want this show any other way and I am more than pleased. After LM I craved more YinWar and I wasn't disappointed. Hopefully we won't need to wait another 2 years for their next show!

Just a bit too slow
I really liked the characters! they are all more or less likeable and interesting. 6 is my usual rating for shows that were okay to watch, but are nothing special or didn't hook me emotionally + annoyed me here and there a bit, but I liked the crew so much that I added 0,5. And for people who care for looks: Eyecandy is served well. I mean, especially the main couple and Seji and Japan look so handsome, geez. Seji really stole my heart, lol. But the female couple is also absolutely gorgeous! Everytime I say Freya i was like "goddamn, what a pretty human being T_T".The music was okay. the title song is nice, but sometimes the bgm was weird. :D
I don't really get why the throuple is so hyped, since they only got together in the last minutes of the last episode. ^^' The dynamic between those three was so weird (Ken obviously didn't like Pan much most of the time) till this point and as much as i crave relationships that are different from monogamy, i would have loved to see a proper built up here. Pan just offering this because Seji looks so sad all the time left a bad taste behind. The scenes afterwards helped a bit to clean this feeling, but I would have just loved to see how they are properly established and behave in a relationship. To see that Ken and Pan also get along well and not just Pan tolerating it, because Seji and Ken look on the edge of tears all the time. x)
I watched a bunch of scenes in double speed, because it was just sooo slow, geez.
But for the rest, it was okay to watch. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, because I don't think the story is strong or the relationships are fleshed out enough. It's a lot of the same, repetitive stuff.
Addition, that doesn't influence the rating: Oh. My. God. The subtitles on iQIYI were horrible. :'D

The characters are absolutely adorable and likeable! I expected the usual obstacles, like jealous co-workers or an annoying ex coming back, but the show turned everything into a wholesome experience, because the support characters are...so supporting! its so fluffy, light and so much fun to watch. The female lead is really charming, cunning and cute! Their bickering and teasing was so so entertaining and i was so sad, when i already reached the last episode. their chemistry is so cute. they had a lot of skinship, which i didnt expect at first, but i was very happy about it. :D they act natural and it was delightful to see them together. the only reason i have 9.5 instead of 10 is because their skinship was a bit one dimensional. its really just a tiny thing to pick on.
the ost is also very great! so catchy and perfectly fitting for the show. i loved the opening scene where they all dance. so much eye-candy!! and it was fun to see some actors that i already knew from other shows.
edit some time after finishing the drama: i still get happy everytime i listen to the ost!! c:
Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
i love everything about this drama.
the ost: geez, its so catchy!
the acting: i love how every actor is acting with their whole body. the nuances were great. don't let you fool you from the first kiss. ;)
the plot - how it's unfolding episode per episode.
the humour: i am a sucker for sarcasm and goddamn, myung ha serves really well.
the characters - i hate love triangles, but love for loves sake serves from this day on my favourite love triangle, because all the characters are just absolutely likeable and endless adorable. loved myung has self-talks. but also yeo woon has such a golden personality. they all have their flaws, but it doesnt make them less likeable. at most even more relateable. i clicked with all the characters a lot and thats also the reason why i am that much emotionally connected to the drama. my eyes got teary all the time towards the ending.
the pacing: i wasnt bored at all. not a single second. i devoured every scene and rewinded all the time, to see some parts multiple times (it took me 14 hours to finish this show lmao)
the depth: yeah, you will realize pretty quickly that this show serves absolutely nice humour, but is also capeable of way more than just being funny.
the emotions.
everything.
i expected a light, fluffy, funny drama. i loved the game theme! i like transmigration and it sounded fun. but this drama is really not compareable to any other bl out there. its refreshing, new, innovative. it had me seated and i was so overwhelmed, because i got really excited and thrilled in a short time.
the ending was absolutely satisfying. for me, it wasnt predictable at all. i was so stunned multiple times through the show and that got me even more excited, because most of the dramas today are a bit boring, when it comes to this. they use the same old tropes over and over again and you already know what will happen. but love for loves sake surprised me multiple times and that made me sooo excited. its thrilling. and i couldnt imagine a better ending for this show. 0.5 stars reduced, because there are things about the plot, where i am not fully sure if i understood them correctly. if they would have made them more clear, it would be an easy 10/10
The wait was ABSOLUTELY worth it and i dont miss any second of the 14 hours, that it took me, to finish this drama.

I guess I'm one of the few people who can't share the excitement for the show. The first hint for me, that a show won't catch me, is, if my concentration starts to suck. I had a hard time finding into the drama, because everything else was more interesting then watching the show. In episode 3 I tried to get my sh*t together and get fast through it. Wasn't that easy. The show is imho pretty boring.We switch from Ye Guang, whose parents sucks, to Qi Zhang, who has at least a lovely, caring Mom and some nice bandmembers, to Ray and Ah Jian, who are suddenly close to each other and back again - on repeat. (Like ??? I don't even understand why Ray and Ah Jian like each other. What happened? I don't know.
There's no seeable development. They just present things as a fact, skipping all the development they could show us, without telling the story of the whole relationships, so we just have to deal with it as given.) In the beginning there were like two scenes with a little tension, which could've been used to build up more closeness for the outcoming relationship of the leads, but they dropped it right away and just went with: we don't show you any development. We just present the finished product.
There isn't really a storyline. We just see the different people living their life. Ye Guang is either with Qi Zhang, or his parents, who constantly tell him that he's a disappointment. Sometimes we see him with Ray. But nothing exciting happens. The part mentioning in the synopsis just takes a little little little spot in the story.
The acting is okay, but that's it. Nothing more. It's okay to watch. But it doesn't make me feel anything. I just sit through the show and did wait to be finally finished, lol. I felt zero chemistry between anyone. So underwhelming.
My fave character is Qi Zhang's mom, because she's really heartwarming. But the rest? I couldn't care less. I watched the trailer before and expected a cute story with some hardships, but good chemistry and I got nothing. Guess this show is for me what Ye Guang is for his parents. :'D
The music is quite fun. But.. having a sidecharacter as fave and the music being the only thing to enjoy, is a bit too little to have fun with a show. Especially if the same song is played over and over again. Made me a little tired of it.
I wouldn't even recommend it, because it was just so boring to watch, if you can't care about the characters, because you literally don't get to know them. They have no personality. I know literally one thing about each character and that's it. Nothing more to build on. Geez. How should I connect with characters when I don't get to know anything about them, expect one stereotypically characteristic?
After episode 6 I just wanted to drop it so badly, but having only 2 more episodes left, made me sit through it...
There were a few scenes I actually enjoyed, because the actors are really pretty and seeing them kissing each other is still fun, even when the rest of the show was just exhaustingly boring to me. Overall it was more a flop for me.

Like:+ First of all; watch the ending scenes! They are important and fun.
+ I didn't expect such serious topics, but was positively surprised! They deal with realistic problems in a realistic and authentic way and which episode I fell more and more in love with each character!
+ The dentist team is so funny, lovely and heartwarming, I can't! They are all so so cute. T_T
+ The male leads are totally different, but have a great chemistry. I personally loved their kisses! :x
+ Loved the little habits they developed.
+ The couples are all so lovely and cute. I didn't watch a lot of shows yet, where there were so many couples, so I am not annoyed by it yet. I liked it. (- but it would have been nice to see more from Alex and RJ. RJ is such a cutie!
+ The OST is crazy good! Love love love it!!
+ Pacing was fine! Personally I would have liked the last conflict a little less dragged, but that's just for me, because I'm such an impatient person. I totally understand why they choosed this pace, so it's not really a critical point. And all the other conflicts get solved in a really nice pace! I've never felt bored or frustrated!
+ I got really teary towards the end because after watching them for such a long time (I normally watch dramas which are way shorter) it just felt like I have to say goodbye to some good friends. T_T
Room for improvement:
- Like I said, I would have appreciated it to see more from RJ and Alex. Geez. RJ stole my heart right away. T_T
- The last conflict felt both rushed and dragged. Dragged, because they spent much time to show how Bai Lang feels about it, but rushed because it didn't got the proper resolution on screen, which would have been nice.
Overall I am satisfied and happy with this drama! I would totally recommend it. It's a nice combination out of humour and serious themes. The balance is great and the transition from being a funny, shallow show into a more serious tone was great! While we're getting to know the characters better with each episode, the tone changes and we see under the surface. I really liked it.
I started the show with absolutely zero expectations (because it was my first (well, technically second, but I dropped the very first one) taiwanese drama, after I am slowly running out of k- and j- BL dramas I wanna watch :D) and I am so so happy that I liked the show so much. The story sounds so hilarious and funny, but the show gave me a lot more than just a few laughter. I really like each character and it would be so cool to see more of them!

+ The actors do a great job! I like their acting and it's fitting to the character they play. Although Ida looks a bit too old for a Highschooler sometimes, but who cares lol. He plays a calm and distantly dude and Aoki calls him Grandpa a few times, so it's good. :'D
+ The group of friends is my favorite I've seen in a show so far. They are attentive, caring, supporting af and funny. I just love this!
+ Although the show is pretty much build up on misunderstandings (which I usually don't like because it's often frustrating) it doesn't get boring or frustrating. It's really fun to watch! At first I was like "Ugh, please don't!" but after I realized, that they don't use this to drag the show in an unnecessary way, I really liked it! The pace is fantastic!
+ Hashimoto is BY FAR the coolest female character in BL History ever. For real. She is absolutely perfect and I adore her!
+ Toyoda and Akkun are also super cool best friends! Although Toyodas advices are more helpful... :'D
+ They address important topics! Like homophobia or the anxiety about what other people will think about the same gender relationship.
+ It really shows what is needed to have a good relationship, but also with which struggles teenagers have to fight. Not only in a gay relationship, but in life in general. I didn't expect this deepness in this drama, but I was pleasently surprised by it and enjoyed it much!
+ The two leads are really different, but also similar when it comes to caring about each other's feelings and making e/o happy. We get a lot of inner monologue from Aoki, and a few from Ida, and it was really helpful to understand Ida's feelings and thoughts.
+ The soundtrack is ABSOLUTELY catchy. I am so mad that this is not on Amazon music LMAO but I love the song "Ubu Love" by Naniwa Danshi (Aokis actor is part of the group, while Ida's actor is part of Snow Man, who also sing a track for this show! Both songs are great and so fitting for the story!)
It's really rare that there is nothing much to crizice for me in a drama. But..after a long road of (more or les) disappointing dramas...I have finally found a gem again! Really... There was not a single episode where I had a thought of being bored, annoyed, frustrated, loosing interest or whatsoever. Every episode got me hooked. I was so into the story and the characters, because literally every character is just likeable. There is not a single character where you would wish they would just disappear.
The only thing that doesn't sit with me right is: there is no kiss. Overall it didn't really bother me, but I know a lot of people critize a BL without a kiss and I can understand it. It tells a lot about how homosexuality is handled, because if this would've been a straight couple, there would've been a kiss probably. Sooo i took half a star off it. Just because they talked so much about the next step and it would've been perfect, if they would've reached this next step at the end.
I hesitated to start this drama for such a long time, because the synopsis sounded a bit boring. But after watching randomly a short on YouTube about it, I was catched and started it immediately. And lemme tell you; I don't regret a single second I spent on this drama. It's so lovely, cute and heartwarming and the only thing I kinda regret is, that I didn't watch it earlier.

Die Story fand ich zu Beginn ein bisschen fad. Es ist ein sehr unaufgeregter Film. Sehr ruhig und wenig spannend. Irgendwie war da keinerlei Verbindung zwischen den Schauspielern. Zumindest habe ich keinerlei Chemie gefühlt. Natürlich steht in der Beschreibung, dass sie weniger als Lover sind und ich hatte nun auch keine steamy BL erwartet, aber für mich war da gar nichts zu fühlen..
Ab der Hälfte des Films hatte ich mich dann an alles gewöhnt und die zweite Hälfte ging auch deutlich schneller rum. Das Ende fand ich aber ziemlich seltsam.
2 Sterne für die Story, weil manche Dinge doch irgendwie ganz cool sind. Vor allem die Erwähnung, dass nicht jeder Mensch, der Schwierigkeiten zu hören hat, Zeichensprache kann und dass es Variationen von Gehörverlust gibt. Ich wusste das bereits, aber vielleicht gibt das Menschen, die es nicht wissen, nochmal einen anderen Einblick in die ganze Thematik. Allerdings fand ich den Film ansonsten eher neutral. Er hat mich nicht negativ aufgeregt, aber eben auch nicht positiv. ^^' Würde jetzt nicht sagen, dass man ihn unbedingt sehen muss.

Die Story fand ich interessant, aber leider ist die Serie nichts für mich. Ich mag fast-paced Serien und das ist Mal wieder ein Drama, in dem alles einfach zu langsam für mich von statten geht. ^^'
Das Acting finde ich okay..aber ML ist mir irgendwie ein bisschen zu verkrampft und steif. FML ist ganz gut, aber ich glaube, ich mag die Figuren, die sie spielen sollen, einfach von Grund auf nicht. Die Atmosphäre wirkt auch einfach off. Da kommen keinerlei Gefühle bei mir auf. Nach 7 Episoden interessiert es mich einfach nicht mehr, wie es mit den Beiden weiter geht, obwohl der Trailer tatsächlich sehr mein Interesse weckte. Aber wie gesagt, mir ist das alles zu langsam und fad. Ich spüre keine Chemie. :/ auch das zweite Couple nervt mich irgendwie einfach nur, weil sie so anstrengend und auf Krampf ablehnend ist und er ihr wie ein Trottel nachrennt.
Bis Folge 7 war die Serie okay. Aber ich kann mich einfach nicht dazu bringen, weiter zu schauen, weil ich's langweilig finde. Da ist absolut kein Reiz, herauszufinden, wie es weiter geht.

Ich finde das Acting leider total awkward und Buxia ist super nervig. Die Story an sich klang interessant, aber Folge 1 und der Anfang von Folge 2 waren ein reines Cringe-Festival. Nach der Szene mit den Chips konnte ich einfach nicht weiter gucken. Das war sooo unangenehm, urgh.
In Folge 1 ist nicht sonderlich viel passiert, was mich auf die Story neugierig macht, deswegen droppe ich den Titel. Es ist nicht Mal lustig-unangenehm, wie bspw in dem kdrama "why r u?" sondern einfach nur...ich-möchte-das-nicht-mehr-mitansehen.

Dropped after 2 episodes
- I just can't with this whiney ML- don't like the editing style in general, although I enjoyed some scenes.
- don't like the manga this dude is drawing xd
- don't like the female friend -> to overdone
- don't like the overacting, even if it's typical for japanese dramas. (At least this is what I read about a lot of japanese dramas. I'm new to them lmao) I already watched drama where I can stand this, where I even can enjoy it and find it funny! but here: no chance
- I think the story is very predictible, so I prefer to safe my time and not force myself to watching this
- it's just boring and nothing in this story is exciting or interesting to me. x.x
- I really don't like the humour at all.
+ Tsubasa is actually a character I like so far!
+ Shiny smile (Issay expected lol) is overall a group of characters I really like! Probably would enjoy a show about them a lot more lol.
+ Kyou is goddamn cute.
+ I really like Ryuujis calm personality.
+ Yeah...totally whipped for Shiny Smile, sorrynotsorry.
I don't want to say people shouldn't watch this show, because obviously a lot of people enjoyed it. But for me, it's just not it. I wouldn't say it's a bad show, but it's definitely not for me. So don't hesitate and if you're interested, give it a try!
