A GEM RUINED BY STUPID VOICEOVER
I understand that maybe they want it to be comedic and funny voiceover is the option they choose but let me tell you... This series is already funny with it's own script and plot. WHY ARE THEY RUINING THEM BECAUSE OF STUPID VOICEOVER???!!! I was already suspicious why Frank's voice is different and the lips moves slightly delayed. I literally have to watch this series by muting them and using my precious imagination to imagine how Frank's voice sounds like and along with Long's voice. I AM SO DISSAPOINTED WITH THE VOICEOVER LIKE... WHAT IS THE NEED FOR THE DUBBING?????The plot goes with Luv have a key necklace and Thad have a lock necklace so they sort of feel like they are each other's soulmate and there's more than just a necklace for it. It seems like the house's wealth testament is related to the necklace which I found to be interesting and very well execute for 6 long episodes. TO BE HONEST, LONG'S ACITNG IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME FORGET ABOUT THE DUMB DUBBING. OH. MY.GOD. GIVE THIS MAN AN AWARD AND A GOOD SERIES PLS!!! His actions scenes are TO-DIE-FOR!!!! And to be honest I couldn't believe he is so good at acting comedic lol.
I don't know why but for LongFrank's series, there will always be something that pissed the audience off. This series is because of the dubbing and for Love Syndrome, its because of Frank's wig. BRUH. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THEM A LEGIT GOOD SERIES. I AM TIRED OF THIS SHIT!!! i hope OMG Vampire series would do them justice. :)
I know that other reviewers gave this series a low rating because of the dubbing but we gotta appreciate the plot and the cast. Like they are doing good fr.

OVER HYPE AND CRINGE !
Oh my god... This is bad. I mean first episode and I already annoyed with Cher's character. He is so fucking annoying. Like miss gurl, can you just chill for a moment? AND Im sorry but I don't like Book at all. Maybe its because of his character or something I dont know. To be honest, I failed to feel nor see Gun x Cher's genuine feeling towards each other. Yes, there is some heart throbbing scenes but we need some honesty in a relationship and Cher rarely cry makes me groan in PAIN EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Like oh god... And what's with the fake happy scenes? Like Cher acting like he is strong and happy go luck in every situation, the mental breakdown scene is just no it for me. I am sorry but I couldn't feel that he is truly sad at what has happened to Tian as well.There is no A, no B then suddenly it goes to C. Takes an instance when Thup confessed that its his dad that raped Tian then Cher was like all shocked but then that's it. No development as in like dragging her father to jail or something. Nah. Bro basically said "Yeah aight. too bad.". Like ??????????? Gun's character is alright but not the best. He just let Thyme broke up their friendship like it was nothing?? Why dont you try to reconcile and offer to work together instead? What a bad plot and writing. I dont think I have ever been this disappointed before except when I watch 2 MOONS season 2. That's another bullshit I need to face.
Can we also say how misleading the trailer and the poster are? I really thought they will meet in elevator where they will have their funny encounter in elevator more often until they fall in love with each other but NOOOOOOO. Instead, the director and screenwriter gave us this shit? Total disappointment. Lack of emotion, lack of feelings and lack of proper plot development. And they shows that Thyme log into the company's laptop to send the information about the games so he can copy the game but the real question is.. HOW? Like how did he got into the office and get to copy all of the materials? SO MANY QUESTIONS BRO.
I have heard about ForceBook before and everybody making them a big deal but to be honest, in this series, I couldn't see it. The chemistry is so-so and the kiss scenes is alright. Seems a little bit force especially in the car kissing scene. Honestly, I need to give it a time before I try to watch their series again. And the only thing that I like about this series is Jack and side pairing Three and Zo. They are adorable but a shame how they doesnt know how to give them more screentime. The series conflict does not exists too and I feel this series overall is a blergh.

NOT ENTIRELY DISAPPOINTING!
If you want to watch this series, please be prepare to be traumatised and your image of your favourite ship will be ruin. This series portrays real life situation in entertainment industry especially when the actors are in BL series that involves shipped couple. At first, I find it difficult to watch this series maybe because I have this mind set that all shipped couple is real but this series really shows me that the shipped couple is just doing fanservice and not real.Overall, the first and second story is damn good and boy, what can I say about Billy Seng couple? They are DAMN GOOD. Boy, their acting skills definitely overpower the other couple. Sad that they broken up though. The 3rd story is the most BORING STORY EVER!!! Like… what the shit is this?
Fourth story is WAYYY TOO REALISTIC so I have already got the idea that this story happened in real life, real actor but I am not sure who. At the end, they did ask the audience a question; “Would you believe it if we say War Of Y series is based on real story?” And I immediately say YES. Because I can see it. CLEARLY. This series is an eye opener so if you are not ready to have a change of pov for your favourite shipped couple, please don’t watch it.
Sex scenes are damn mad broo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

CRINGE BUT ADORABLE
Actually, I was about to drop this series as I feel Seng's acting is a little bit cringe but when I read other's review, they said to give this series a chance and don't judge by the 1st episode. So I proceed to watch and thank god, I did not drop cause this series has it all. Comedy, chaotic, romance and fluff. It is absolutely beautiful. Let's talk about each pairing.1. Nuea x Toh
Mr Popular X Stalker. The theme of the pairing is slight disturbing but adorable. A great way how Seng portrays Toh's character to be this nerd adorable stalker but I feel like the storyline is a little bit too much at the end. Yes, we know they are the main pairing but sometimes, some of the scene is not necessary but to offer more screen time of this pairing, they adds the unnecessary scene. But the main plot is great! It didn't run from the storyline and it doesn't feel rush as well. The acting on the other hand is on the borderline of cringe. Toh's character is great but sometimes, I don't think it's important for him to smile at every fucking reason which sometimes annoys me. Billy's acting is flawless and can I just say he looks like Daniel Wannaone. Lol. I don't have much problem with this pairing's acting except that Toh keep on smiling like a nutcase.
2. Sky x Jao
Oh good god. I understand that the bottom is suppose to be the cute one but boy, i am so fucking pissed with Jao. His ego is up high and he keep on overthink about everything! It took them almost half of the series to even be together and when they got together, I feel like Sky is the one who really likes Jao. It feels like Jao is not sincerely in love with Sky but anyway, I don't like Surprise. He is trying hard to look cute and ugh honestly, cringe. Their storyline seems short and doesn't really expand beautifully. They are literally my least favorite pairing. Sorry.
3. Touch x Daisy
GURLLLLLLLLL. I AM IN LOVE. IT IS SUCH A WASTE! That their love line get short screen time and the fact that Touch just started to make a move on Daisy at the end of the series makes me feel like they need to have their own series. I like how Daisy is so loud and so chaotic when he is around his friends but when Touch makes a move on him, he just went quiet and unsure what to say. SO ADORABLE!!! And okay, I did some stalking on Nutt and can I just say I am amazed at how he manage to play Daisy's role so well even though he is leaning towards manly man off camera. OH MY GOD!!! The duality! It's a shame how Nutt and Opp doesn't have much screen time in this series cause I really want to watch them.
4. Thor x Som & Fon x Kongkwan
The series did them dirty. They are so adorable but their screen time sucks! Fon x Kongkwan only shows up if there are gathering or party and they kiss on the cheek but that's it. Right now, we just need to wait for 'GAP' series to come out so it could do them justice. Anyway, Som x Thor. A great couple but I really wish they could lead more than that! Thor is a great man that act like ice and Som is hot-headed and loud girl, so imagine if they both could have slight love line plot! They didn't even have any confession scene and suddenly, they got together. UGHHH. On other note, I really love Som's character cause she been doing the most. She is the glue that sticks the group together even when Daisy wants to change into Day, she is stern but still supports him which I found to be adorable.
Overall, I love this series but I don't think I will be watching them since the Toh's character is too cringe. Anyway, I still give 9/10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ since the series is pretty good. Could have been more but meh.
P/S: Please watch the uncut version on youtube. You will not regret it. THE STEAMY SCENE THOUGH ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

BEST SLOWBURN BL SERIES!!
I never thought I would love Earth. I don’t know how to say this but I just love him so much! His acting definitely gets better by the time and he is so good at playing Korn. Like he is so gentle yet he could flipped when being push. Can I just say I love how he tries to calm Win down? The fact that he is acting like water and Win is like fire is absolute love plot!! The plot is so good! I never thought I can watch series without that much kiss scene or the series being 18+ but THIS! This just change my pov. There’s not much going on but the way the actors plays their role and the movement of the plot is amazing!I just found out that Earth and Mix was in 1000 stars so that's why their chemistry is just amazing! Like damn amazing! In the last episode when they finally tease each other when they have become a couple, it feels honest. It feels genuine like I could feel like they have feelings with each other ( in the series I mean ) and the fact that Earth was laughing from the bottom of his heart is so cute! The kiss that they shared honestly is kind of hot but at the same time so passionate. Please I need more series from them cause this is so cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The cinematography is alright but at first I was being skeptical cause there’s this scene where the cow give birth and the fact that the calf does have fur makes me laugh lol but other than that, it’s all good! Overall, i definitely love watching this and I might re-watch them. 10/10 for me! ❤️

✨? AMAZING MOVIE ✨?
Okay. First of all, i don't really usually watch hetero movies but DAMMNNNN!!! This movie is beautiful. Its so cute and What can i say about this movie. It's beautiful! 😌💕✨ The plot is beautiful however, if you watch this movie, you will have second-lead syndrome. It saddens me that she suddenly fell for a guy that just came to the village instead of the guy that have been in love with her all along.*SPOILER WARNING AHEAD* Jerd really did his best to protect Sai but she really couldn't see it? Like the hell? And because of her, Jerd have to become Krahang and still protect her anyway! Noi is gorgeous, i admit it. But damn. Why must Jerd have to sacrifice a lot of shit? He is the first one to know that Sai is a Krasue and he even join the night hunter to misdirect them from Sai. Damn it.
Rating: 9/10. Lost one point because Sai kinda look blank? She wants to use that innocent face but i couldn't see the emotion behind it. She should have show her crying and sad face while parting from Noi but all she is doing is stoic face. Something missing and definitely her face that look empty. I think the one that plays Krasue before her have better acting but overall, i love the movie but the ending saddened me. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST BURY ONE OF THE KRASUE PLANT BEFORE EAT IT STOOOPIDDDD! Anyway, control your emotion and try not to cry!

Let me start first with this series. First, I want to highlight that P'Strong looks like Chen from EXO. LOL but seriously, the plot is okay. It started with the uke and seme met with each other, have some conflict and i feel like the character P'Pop needs to have more confidence and development. He need to be more confident in the relationship and his sexuality ( LOL ). I love P'Oat so much because he doesn't care if he is bisexual or straight. He just know that he likes P'Pop and that's so fucking cute i tell you that.The side pairing ( Pree & Rambo ) seems to be lacking of showtime in the series because i want to know more about them and how they got back together or something but seems like not going to happen. Plus they are very R-18 couple so that's why maybe i love them ( LMAO ). Overall, the series is okay but i think can improve in heart-throbbing scene.

WRONG MAIN COUPLE.
UWMA is very interesting drama however i do think that they did a big mistake in choosing the casting. I feel like they should have put Earth X Kao as the present main pairing because i feel their chemistry is more strong and i could easily read their emotion. They are showing a small act of emotion but gives off a very strong impact. I keep on skipping the part where Fluke x Ohm appears because i found Ohm to be robot-like and there's no emotion in his acting. Whenever he cry, i feel like he is faking it. Everyone is faking it but your job is to make the audience to believe it. Anyway, EARTH IS SO CUTEEEE!!!! HNYAAAAAS I FELL FOR HIM ISTG!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕 UGHHH HE IS SO CUTE AND HE LOOKS SO TINY COMPARED TO KAO. The plot somehow doesn't have the climax and the acting is very cringe? There's no real problem between them but i have to say that i almost cry at the part In and Korn committed suicide because of their parents pressuring them. Its the truth what happened to gay people during old time.Anyway, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OTHER CAST. I AM LOVING ALL THE SIDE PAIRING HERE. FUCKKKKK Except Alex and Del? Like they never show love line but suddenly they are together???? I was like hello? Never heard of 2 Wish? OKAY JOKING AHHAAH Its so good to see LBC cast in the series but it's a little bit off. It's something missing. I know it's totally a different plot but you can't blame me when they use the whole LBC cast except for Saint. CAN I ALSO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE IT WHEN SAMANTHA FINALLY HAVE HER OWN LOVE LINE?! Ugh she is so cutee! And she is the one that makes me laugh all the time in the series. She is so real istg! 💕
Overall, i don't think I'll be re-watching this again. Its not my cup of tea. I found the reincarnated main pairing is very cringe and there's no emotion in it, but i love the past main pairing, boring plot, and i don't really hate it but i don't like it either. If you plan to watch it, go watch it. Maybe you'll like it or maybe you don't.

I WAS FIGHTING WITH MYSELF
I understand that the movie is supposed to have fluff and romance genre but it is SO BORING!! I literally have to fight myself to go through 8 episodes because I believe that the series have more than this but yeah no. Nothing. The fact that the conflict is just one of them being confused of their own sexuality literally brings me back to 2017 where Make It Right the series begins their journey for being whatdafak kind of plot. I feel like both of their actor lack of charm skills and making the series a bit boring. Their gaze is awkward and stiff. I only watch for Poppy to be honest. He is such a good actor and the only person making this series having it's fun moment. The acting gap between the actors are HUGE and I am sorry but I dont like the actors at all. Why don't they cast SantaEarth as the main pairing? I think both of them would have done a better job. I am so frustrated that the fact that this series are from Mandee which always produce a good series but what the fuck is this? Total disappointment to be honest and I don't understand how did they get these actors ??? UGH. Anyway, I've gone through my hell so if u are having trouble in falling asleep, feel free to watch this series :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

MaxNat’s Alternate Universe Madness: Why Am I Screaming?
Listen, y’all. When I tell you I screamed, I mean I screamed. Like, actual unholy noises left my body the second I saw MaxNat headlining this series. I’ve been WAITING for this moment since forever, and they finally did it. Main couple energy? MAXIMUM. Objectivity? Out the damn window. If you’re here for a calm, unbiased review, sis, this is not that. But if you wanna hear me lose my mind over alternate universes, sexual tension, and some very questionable plot choices, let’s go.---
Max as Thai:
This man? A WHOLE-ASS MEAL. A five-course dinner. Michelin-starred. BUT—and I say this with love—why is Thai such a little bitch when it comes to emotions? Like, you’re out here assassinating people, dodging bullets, looking like a snack, but the minute someone brings up feelings, you malfunction? Get it together, sir.
Thai’s whole vibe is “emotions are for the weak, my heart is bulletproof,” and honestly, I was living for it. UNTIL THEY WATERED HIM DOWN. Where is the trauma? Where is the grit? Thai should’ve been out here breaking hearts and causing chaos, but instead, they gave him this half-ass redemption arc that felt...meh. Like, I wanted him to ruin Khram’s life before he started fixing it. Is that toxic? Yes. Do I care? Not even a little.
And then there’s Thai 2.0. Oh my god, this man is a MESS. One minute, he’s like, “You are not my Khram” and the next, he’s all, “Wait, maybe I love you?” Sir, please pick a lane before I lose my last brain cell. Also, where were the soft moments? I needed cuddles, forehead kisses, Thai 2.0 carrying Khram out of the rain while whispering sweet nothings. But noooo, we got the emotionally constipated version instead. Ugh.
---
Nat as Khram:
KING. ICON. LEGEND. Khram is the glue holding this messy-ass series together, and Nat EFFING DELIVERED. The way this man can cry on command? The way he made me feel every ounce of Khram’s pain? Give him an award. No, seriously, give him all the awards.
Khram’s whole personality is basically “I’ll sacrifice everything for the people I love,” which is adorable but also HIGHLY ANNOYING. Like, sweetie, love yourself first. You’re out here risking life and limb for people who can’t even say “thank you.” And don’t get me started on his loyalty to Phupha. Bitch, read the room. Phupha 2.0 doesn’t even LIKE you, and you’re still out here crying over him? Babe, move on. Thai 2.0 is RIGHT THERE.
Also, major respect to Nat for acting in the forest despite having sensitive skin. The way this man is willing to suffer for his art? We don’t deserve him.
---
Gun as Phupha:
Phupha is the literal definition of “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss,” and I mean that in the worst way possible. OG Phupha was sweet, loving, and lowkey perfect, so of course, they had to KILL HIM OFF. Thanks for nothing, writers. Then they gave us Phupha 2.0, who is just...a selfish little prick. Like, sir, you don’t get to treat Khram like garbage after everything he’s been through. The AUDACITY.
But let’s be real: Gun absolutely slayed this role. The duality? The range? I hate Phupha 2.0 with every fiber of my being, but I can’t even be mad at Gun for it because he ATE.
---
The Plot:
Okay, so the whole “alternate universe” thing was cute or whatever, but y’all...the logic? NONEXISTENT. They’re like, “Oh, just jump into the river under a blue moon, and boom, you’re in another dimension.” What in the Disney Channel Original Movie is this?
And don’t even get me started on the pacing. One minute, they’re fighting for their lives, and the next, they’re having a heartfelt conversation by the campfire. PICK A VIBE. Also, where is the angst?? I needed Thai 2.0 to mess up big time, Khram to hate him for at least two episodes, and then a dramatic reconciliation with tears and shouting. Instead, we got...whatever this was.
And the action scenes? A JOKE. Max could’ve been flipping people over and kicking down doors, but instead, they gave us a two-minute scuffle that looked like it was choreographed by my little cousin. Disrespectful.
---
The Steam:
Let’s talk about the cave scene. Y’ALL KNOW THE ONE. I had to pause, rewind, and watch it again because holy hell, the CHEMISTRY. MaxNat understood the assignment and then some. The way they looked at each other? The way they touched? I was blushing, screaming, and considering drinking holy water, all at the same time.
But real talk, the rest of the sex scenes? A little tame. I mean, they were good, don’t get me wrong, but where’s the variety? Where’s the angry sex? The makeup sex? Give me all the flavors, damn it.
---
The OST:
Yeah, I forgot it existed. Next question.
---
Final Thoughts:
Look, this series isn’t perfect. The plot is messy, the action is lackluster, and the angst is barely there. BUT MaxNat carried it on their gorgeous, talented backs, and for that, I will always stan.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I rewatch it? Only the cave scene. Final score: 9.5/10, and that’s only because MaxNat are my babies.

THE REVIEW TO END ALL REVIEWS
YOOOOO, BESTIES Buckle up, because this is going to be a ride. Today, we’re talking My Stand-In—the series that had me cursing at my TV and questioning why I keep watching these damn shows. Spoiler alert: it’s a toxic rollercoaster, and yes, I loved every messy second of it.---
Joe: The Human Doormat (But We Love Him Anyway)
Let’s talk about Joe, played by Poom. My mans is literally the definition of “too pure for this world.” He’s sweet, sensitive, and just out here trying to live his life. But let’s be real—he’s also a little TOO naive. Like, babes, why are you letting Ming treat you like a Dollar Store replacement for Tong? WHERE IS YOUR SELF-RESPECT?
And the sneezing during climax thing??? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL? Who thought that was a cute character quirk? It’s giving “quirky rom-com protagonist,” but instead of being endearing, it’s just WEIRD. I was cringing so hard I almost dislocated my jaw.
---
Ming: The Gaslighting King of Red Flags
Oh, Ming. Sweetie. Honey. You are THE WORST. If there were an Olympics for being a toxic piece of shit, this man would have the gold medal, a sponsorship deal, and his own Wheaties box.
Ming is rich, spoiled, and obsessed with Tong—who, might I remind you, is HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW. Yes, you read that right. BROTHER. IN. LAW. Like, sir, go touch some grass and find a hobby that isn’t creeping on your family. And when he couldn’t have Tong, he decided Joe’s back would do. GURL, WHAT???
Every time he gaslit Joe, I was SCREAMING at my screen like, “JOE, RUN. THIS MAN WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.” But did Joe listen? Nope. Instead, he kept going back to this walking dumpster fire like it was his life mission to be emotionally destroyed.
---
Tong and May: Certified Hot Messes
Tong, sweetie, you’re not off the hook either. This man married May for her money but couldn’t keep his damn hands off the gambling table. Like, sir, you’re already a clown—do you have to be a broke clown too? And let’s not even get into how he weaponized Ming’s feelings for him. It’s giving manipulative AF, and I hate it here.
But MAY? QUEEN SHIT. She said, “You’re trash, and I’m recycling myself out of this marriage.” Honestly, the moment she left his sorry ass was the highlight of the show. May, you deserve the world and a man who doesn’t gamble away your savings.
---
Joe x Sol: THE SHIP THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN
Sol. Oh, my sweet, sweet Sol. This man left his career in Korea to help Joe, and Joe repaid him by… RUNNING BACK TO MING. Make it make sense, y’all. Sol is a walking green flag, and Joe said, “No thanks, I like my men toxic and emotionally unavailable.”
Every time Sol showed up, I was like, “Yes, king! Save this dumbass from himself!” But Joe? Joe said, “Nah, I’m good. I’m gonna go ruin my life some more.” At this point, I was rooting for Sol to just pack up and leave Joe to his bad decisions.
---
The Plot: A Mess, But Make It Entertaining
Okay, let’s break this down. Joe is Tong’s stand-in because Ming can’t have Tong, so he settles for Joe’s BACK. (Yes, his back. I can’t.) Ming spends the entire first half of the show being a possessive little shit, gaslighting Joe into staying with him. Meanwhile, Joe is just out here like, “Maybe he’ll change!” Spoiler alert: HE WON’T.
Then, out of nowhere, Joe dies. Yup, just straight-up DIES. But the plot was like, “Joe, you’ve suffered enough; let’s throw you into a completely new identity to spice things up,” so his soul gets transferred into another actor’s body. And now he’s trying to navigate life as someone else while STILL dealing with Ming’s bullshit. The drama is so extra it gave me whiplash, and honestly? I loved every second.
---
The Action Scenes: Chef’s Kiss
If there’s one thing this show got RIGHT, it’s the action scenes. Poom SLAYED. The punches, the kicks, the choreography—it was all perfection. He looked so badass I had to pause and question if I was in love or just in awe. Poom, my dude, you need to star in an action movie ASAP.
---
Steamy Scenes: Meh.
Alright, let’s talk about the steamy scenes. Were they hot? Eh. Did they make me feel things? Not really. It was giving lukewarm tea, not boiling water. And seeing Up as a top still feels wrong to me. Like, I’ll accept it, but I won’t LIKE it.
Also, can we PLEASE get more realistic passion in these series? I’m tired of this soft fluff nonsense. GIVE ME LUST. GIVE ME DESPERATION. MAKE ME FEEL THE CHEMISTRY. This was just… fine. And fine isn’t good enough.
---
OST: Who?
The OST? Forgettable. I couldn’t even hum a single tune from it if you paid me. Moving on.
---
Final Thoughts: Chaotic, Toxic, and Weirdly Addictive
My Stand-In is a hot mess of a show, but damn, it’s an ENTERTAINING hot mess. The characters will piss you off, the plot will confuse you, and the drama will leave you questioning your life choices. But you’ll keep watching. Why? Because it’s like a car crash—you can’t look away.
Would I recommend it? Sure, if you like yelling at your screen and questioning your taste in men. Would I rewatch it? Hell no. My blood pressure couldn’t handle it.
Final rating: 10/10 for the chaos, 0/5 for the logic. Watch it at your own risk.

Wandee Goodday: Take One
Well, well, WELL. What do we have here? Another BL series that got everyone talking—and by talking, I mean clutching their pearls and tweeting through the chaos. Let’s get into it, babes, because this is a ride.—————
CHARACTERS: CTRL+C, CTRL+V, BUT MAKE IT SPICY
Okay, first off, Inn as Wandee. Am I crazy, or does he look like Tee from 2Moons Season 1? Like, I swear this is a copy-paste situation. Tell me I’m wrong—I dare you. Anyway, Wandee is a doctor with big “I believe in good vibes and coffee” energy, which is cute until it isn’t. He’s all responsible and organized until feelings hit, and then BAM—he’s spiraling like me after a 2 a.m. Taco Bell run.
Then we have Ter, played by Pod, aka Mr. “I don’t know when to quit.” This man is the embodiment of “When they play hard to get, I play harder to catch.” Pod nails the role so well that I wanted to throw my laptop every time he showed up. Bro, leave Wandee ALONE. He’s too good for your gaslighting ass!
Now let’s talk Yoryak, played by Great. First of all, this man looks like Sailub from PitBabe. I was literally squinting like, “Did I open the wrong show?” But Yoryak? ICON. He’s a fighter (or a boxer—same thing, IDC), a certified manwhore, and just living his best life until he gets tangled up with Wandee. Their chemistry? Explosive. Full-on Katy Perry fireworks. I’m obsessed.
And the side pairing? OyeCher. These two are PDA-loving, no-holds-barred icons. Cher, especially, deserves a medal for dragging Wandee and Yoryak’s clueless asses through the mud to finally get together. He’s like the group chat admin who keeps everyone from spiraling. We love to see it.
—————
PLOT: CHAOS WITH A SIDE OF SPICE
Okay, here’s the tea: Wandee confesses his crush to Ter, and this dude has the AUDACITY to call him too vanilla. Excuse me? What are you looking for, Tabasco? Wasabi? Anyway, Wandee, our petty king, decides to hook up with Yoryak to prove a point. One night turns into two, and suddenly these two are “friends with benefits” but, like, actually catching feelings.
Meanwhile, Ter realizes he messed up (DUH) and tries to crawl back, but my boy Wandee’s already moved on. Enter fake-dating Yoryak to shut down hospital rumors and rub salt in Ter’s wounds. The fake dating trope? Chef’s kiss. But girl, I wanted MORE Yoryak being the knight in shining scrubs. Ter’s jealous stares had me cackling.
Eventually, the plot slows down because apparently, we need to watch these two struggle with their internal crises. Like, babe, just talk it out. But I loved the message that crushes have expiration dates. Wandee said, “This milk went bad, but I got a whole new carton now.”
—————
SEX SCENES: ROOM TEMP, BUT POTENTIAL FOR HOT
The steam? It’s there. It’s giving lukewarm shower vibes—you know, where you stay in a bit longer, and suddenly it’s boiling. They tried some roleplay scenes (bless), but let’s be real: GMMTV wasn’t about to go Only Friends levels of spicy. Honestly, they could’ve leaned in harder, but eh, I’ll take what I can get.
—————
OST: A CERTIFIED BOP
Now THIS. The OST is a straight-up banger. When I first heard it, I was like, “HELLO, you got my attention.” Turns out, Great himself sang it, which only makes it better. It’s one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and has you humming in the shower. 10/10, no notes.
—————
FINAL THOUGHTS: DRAMA, CHAOS, AND CONFUSION GALORE
This series had me screaming at my screen, throwing popcorn, and clutching my chest all at once. The actors brought their A-game, even when the plot was doing the most. Is it rewatchable? Eh, probably not—I don’t have the patience to go through the drama again. But was it fun? Absolutely.
Final rating? A solid 9.5/10. Would’ve been a 10 if Ter wasn’t so annoying and they turned the steam up a notch.

TAYNEW DID IT AGAIN!!
So, I went into this knowing it wasn’t a BL (boo, hiss), and honestly, the Polca in me was like, “Sis, maybe skip this one. You’re just setting yourself up for disappointment.” BUT, I ignored her, gave it a shot, and LET ME TELL YOU—this series blew my expectations OUT OF THE WATER. I’m not even kidding; I’m giving it a solid 10/10, and you’ll understand why in a sec.Home & Peach: Opposites Attract, But Make It Friendly
First of all, let’s start with Home (played by New). This man is the definition of a spoiled brat. Like, he legit thinks money can solve anything. He’s all, “Oh, your property’s haunted? Here’s some cash. Problem solved, right?” Sir, this is not capitalism; this is GHOSTS. But somehow, New makes Home lovable. He’s bratty, but in that “ugh, fine, I’ll forgive you because you’re kinda cute” way.
Then there’s Peach (played by Tay), who’s Home’s complete opposite. Peach is soft, sensitive, and honestly, a walking ball of nerves. Like, this man is one ghost sighting away from a breakdown at all times. And yet, he’s out here helping Home sell haunted properties because—get this—he can SEE GHOSTS. Yup, our man is a supernatural empath, casually solving ghost problems while Home stomps around like, “Why are these spirits ruining my vibe?”
Their dynamic? ICONIC. It’s giving “grumpy rich boy meets cinnamon roll with trauma,” and I ate it up like my last meal.
The Plot: Layers Upon Layers of Mystery
Okay, so the premise is simple at first: Home needs to sell these haunted properties, and Peach is like, “Cool, I’ll help because I can see ghosts.” But the way the story builds? CHEF’S KISS. Each episode has its own mini ghost story, and they’re all tied to the haunted properties Home is trying to sell. And these aren’t your average “ooh spooky shadow in the corner” ghosts; these spirits have deep backstories, emotional trauma, and unfinished business.
BUT WAIT—there’s more. As they help these ghosts find closure (yes, King, therapy for the afterlife!), the show starts peeling back the layers of the bigger mystery: Home’s grandpa’s death and why Peach can even see ghosts in the first place. The way the plot weaves all these elements together? PERFECTION.
PangPang: The Ultimate Bestie Energy
Can we take a moment to talk about PangPang (played by Jan), aka Peach’s younger sister? THIS GIRL. She’s the unsung hero of the series. PangPang is out here being the supportive sibling we all need in our lives. She’s constantly pushing Peach to speak up, take risks, and live without regrets.
Her energy? 10/10. Her comedic timing? IMMACULATE. Honestly, PangPang deserves her own spin-off. I’d watch it in a heartbeat.
ForceBook: Prepare Your Tissues
Okay, I NEED to dedicate an entire section to the ForceBook episode because OMG. I went in expecting their usual goofy, chaotic energy. You know, classic ForceBook vibes. BUT NO. These two decided to rip my heart out and stomp on it instead.
The storyline? Pure pain. Their characters are dealing with love that’s considered “wrong” in the eyes of society, and it’s handled with so much raw emotion. Force is out here acting his heart out, and Book? That man was SOBBING. I’ve never seen him cry like this before, and it BROKE ME. I was legit ugly crying for a solid 10 minutes.
The way they portrayed the pain of loving someone when the world tells you it’s not okay? ICONIC. And the twist about Vicha (Book’s character) not being able to cross over because of his suicide? DEVASTATING. But when he finally gets his closure, the dance scene shifts, symbolizing his acceptance, and I LOST IT. Beautifully done.
Home x Peach: BL Tease or Nah?
Now, let’s talk about Episode 11. Was the director teasing us? Because there’s this one scene where Peach thinks Home is hitting on him, and I was like, “Wait, is this happening? Is this BL-lite?” But then Home, being the clueless rich boy he is, immediately kills the vibe, and the moment disappears faster than my paycheck on payday.
BUT STILL. The tension was THERE. It felt like the director was testing the waters, seeing how the audience would react to a potential BL plotline. And you know what? I’m here for it. Gimme that spin-off, GMMTV.
The Cast: Almost Perfect
The casting for this show? SPOT ON. New and Tay were born for these roles, and their chemistry was on fire. Jan SLAYED as PangPang, and even the side characters brought their A-game.
The only weak spot? Foei. Ugh, why was he even here? His scenes were a whole vibe-killer, and I could’ve done without him entirely.
Final Thoughts
This series? It’s giving comedy, it’s giving drama, it’s giving emotional healing with a side of ghosts. I laughed, I cried, I screamed at my screen. It’s not a BL, but it’s got enough heart and chemistry to keep even the Polcas satisfied.
Rating: 10/10. A must-watch, even if you’re not into ghost stories. Would I rewatch it? Nah, because I’m not about that rewatch life, but it’s 100% worth your time.

Not a good watch
I have such high expectations for this series. I really do. I even subscribe the official production channel to watch the uncut version. The plot could be a little bit messy and I would say slight borderline to be cringe. I thought this series would be the series of showing how goofy the high schoolers would be with twist of romance of puppylike love but gurl, plain boring. Its like a mix of lust and romance which always keep me asking , “Yes, and?”. The main pairing here is really Matteo x Shogun. They have a main conflict but it is not really big of a deal. Though, acting is quite stiff and not professional.King x Burger have nice plot with a mix of understanding but really, i feel like its a boring series with so suddenly of murder mystery at the end that get me like ????? Um what? So suddenly? I dont think the whole production have exact plot they wish to focus on which makes me questioning on how they can get sponsors for this series? Plain boring with half decent actors.
Truly disappointed.

Nice Concept but plot can be develop even more!
I was so skeptical at this series because of the last JoongDunk series that I watched doesn't reach my expectation AT ALL. But this one is much better than the last one. The story started with Zo having a crush on Nita and asking for Joke's help to help him to date her. Though, I like the way they stopped the dating help halfway because of Zo realising his actual feeling towards Joke, I wish they shouldn't stop that way. I wish they could put more conflict like Joke suddenly back to being Nita's boyfriend because of the stalker thing. The concept is good but I wish the plot could have more conflict. The conflict of the series is just love triangle, family issues and thats it. I wish there is more.I have no complain about the characters BUT I just wish that when Zo confront his mom about his feelings of never feel enough, I wish there is more passion, there is more anger. Yes, Zo is a nice person but he has been bottling up his feelings for a long time. I really wanted to see how Dunk's acting with explosion of anger and regret but it seems like that is not going to happen in this series. And both of them facing the same issues are a little bit.. hm.. how do I say... sound like plot is rushed to finish. They could have create conflict of Joke's father is being bias with his siblings more wide range. Like I said, there are no rage and not enough passion in this series that it makes them a little bit boring.
Joke's whole family except for his grandma is A WHOLE FUCKING RED FLAG. I am so mad that no one seems to care about him like ????? How heartless can yall be? Anyway, I still feel that this series have a good concept, moderately develop plot, amazing actors but very little conflict.
JoongDunk deserves better. There, I said it.
