Everything was fantastic…..except….

This BL/bromance Drama is probably one of the best I’ve watched. It had a great plot that kept you guessing, right up until the end. If you are in to physical type BL’S, you will not find it here. It is kind of left to your imagination with glances, pecks on the cheek, sleeping together, oh, and the lube scene, LOL. The acting was outstanding with very good chemistry between the two ML’s. I did not like the BL 2016 Addicted, but people keep comparing that to this. This was so much better than that. DEFINITELY worth watching it. I am hoping there is a Season 2, or there are too many unanswered questions. It would have been a strong 10 for me, but those unanswered questions turned it into an 8.

A BIG NO!!

I was pretty excited to watch this due to the high ratings, but it didn’t keep my interest. I literally suffered through maybe 5 episodes, but dropped it. Very boring for me, but I can’t put my finger on why… I think because I’m comparing it with the acting and strong plots in other period Dramas I’ve watched. Dramas that I binged watched because they were so good. Dramas like: The Red Sleeve, The Crowned Clown, A Frozen Flower, all the Rurouni Kenshin Dramas, Empress Ki, Mr. Sunshine, Moon Lovers, just to name a few. Shogun just wasn’t good, but I guess it’s because I am comparing it to the ones I listed. I gave it a 4 for the production value. I was happy to drop it, my suffering is over. Maybe I’ll just re-watch Moon Lovers

The acting!!!

This Drama is so well acted, it blew me away! Probably one of the best I’ve seen. The story/plot is a bit confusing at times. It’s the kind of drama that goes back and forth between current life and past life to build the story. It gives each character involved their point of view on the subject at hand. It is frustrating at times, but only because you want the truth to come out for everyone involved. This is a well written, directed, produced, and especially acted Drama. The child actors have a bright acting future ahead of them! I will absolutely watch this again. I’m sure when I do, I will pick up on things I missed the first time around. I especially liked the ending. When you watch it, you’ll know what I mean. I finished this Drama days ago, but it is still in my head. It’s that kind of Drama. I’m sure all you Drama lovers will know what I mean by that. Some stay with you, and some don’t.

I thought the plot was really good, but the acting wasn’t. I felt this was WAY over acted. I liked the theme song, but I thought the music throughout the drama during certain scenes, was very annoying. I felt like I was watching a soap opera from the 1970’s. I had a hard time getting through this one. It did have a lot of good plot twists, but the things I mentioned ruined it for me. Apparently other viewers don’t agree with me, because of the high rating. I would never sit through this again. Maybe my rating is too high the way I feel, but like I said, the overall plot was good. I did like the ending though.

Edge of your seat!!

I don’t write many reviews any more, but I felt the need to write this one. This is very suspenseful, the acting is superb, and the plot is creative and outstanding! More action in 4 episodes, than some I’ve watched with 16+ episode Dramas! Yes, suicide is a way out of your misery, but this is showing how your choice affects others. It is making him feel the pain of what others feel when their life isn’t going as planned. Each time he dies, you wonder what his next experience is going to be. It shows him growing to regret his decision, because he realizes how it has changed peoples lives around him. It helps him do this with the different characters he lives, and the choices they made that changed their lives and others around them. I can not wait until part 2 in January to see where this goes. The writing, directing, producing, and especially the 5 star actors, put on a show you will love! However, it does get very rough, as in bloody and violent, so go into this knowing that.

Great Acting!!

I haven’t written a review in months, and I didn’t expect too much from this Drama, Time travel stories are kind of hit or miss….or I should say reincarnation, or kind of both I guess. It had my interest from the first episode. I haven’t fast forwarded even once, which is a habit of mine during idle/slow times in a drama, and that is saying something. It started out good, and it keeps going. It has kind of a mixture of everything like…a love story, a mystery, death, sickness, feeling unloved, many surprises in the plot, great acting, and so much more. I loved Ahn Bo Hyun in My Name, so that’s part of the reason I decided to watch this, and he hasn’t disappointed me. The ending was fitting to the story. I think it could have been more than 12 episodes so I would be able to see future events with her life. I don’t want to give the story away by elaborating, but it should have continued. But still a great drama!!

Not bad, but not good either…

I don’t know why this was advertised as a BL, it’s more like a bromance. The ending seemed rushed, these two had no physical contact at all, and parts were confusing. Any kind of love story, straight or gay, has SOME physical contact. The acting was good, everything else could have been better. This had so much potential because the actual plot/story/idea was good, but not carried out good. Was it the writing, producing, directing, or all of the above, but it was just OK. I really don’t understand some of the good reviews. The only thing I can think of is maybe they have nothing else to compare it to?? To me, if you watch a lot of BL’S, this is very mediocre.

Very Different Plot, But Very Good!

STRONGBERRY, you did it again! This is a really, cute, well acted Drama, right up there with Long Time No See. The dog and cat coming back into Jung Woo’s life is really creative. The actors cast to play the cat and dog are perfect. I am so looking forward to the last episodes, because I’m not really sure how this will end. I usually have some kind of idea, but with this I’m not sure. This definitely has some sad moments, romantic moments, along with happy and funny moments too. I will edit this with my final review after I watch the last episode. But so far, so good!

Just watched episode 10, so good!! Looking forward to the last episode 11. I suggest anyone watching the Drama, go on You Tube, and watch the interview clips. One of the clips is about Choco and Milk’s journey back to earth, and how and why it all happened.

Finished the series, and I thought it had a great happy ending! I really wasn’t sure it would, until the last half of the last episode. This is what I like about Stongberry, their Dramas don’t leave you hanging or completely devastated. You feel good after watching them, and that is what this Drama did! A very enjoyable watch!

Great Chemistry Between Leads!

One of the best BL’S I’ve seen. Why?… Mainly the extreme, believable, physical chemistry between the male leads. Actually everything about this drama is impressive, but mainly the physical contact between Nattawin Wattanagitiphat who plays Porsche and Phakphum Romsaithong who plays Kinn. Both absolutely gorgeous I might add! The plot, writing and especially the directing were excellent. I didn’t give it a 10, because a couple of very unnecessary characters were in it. I felt that if this BL Drama cut out all the comedy (Thanayut Thakoonauttaya), and just stayed serious, it would have been so much better. This is a definite watch if you like really good physical scenes, “mafia like” plots, and drop dead gorgeous actors, this is the one for you.

Keeps your interest

WOW, this was so good, I didn’t fast forward once, and I was glued to every scene. If you don’t like violence, revenge, bullies, kids fighting to be excepted for who they are, but are outcasts because of their family situation, fighting, (a lot of fighting), not the kind of ending you would have wanted, you shouldn’t watch this drama. Some good things… friendship, acceptance, revenge, bromance, and that’s about it. The acting, fight scenes, directing, and writing were all beyond great. It’s NOT the kind of drama that will put you in a good mood, especially the end. BUT I highly recommend it! I will say I cried through most of the last episode. Didn’t leave me with a good feeling, but I am really glad I watched it. I will definitely watch season 2, and I’m sure there will be one.

Heart Wrenching

I’ve only watched a few episodes, but I cried off and on through all of them. If you’ve ever had someone you love die, and had them in Hospice, you can’t not cry. Dying means looking back on your life, the mistakes you’ve made, the happiness you’ve felt, the relationships you formed, the things you regret, and the things you had yet to do, but won’t have the chance. The loved ones and friends you leave behind is the hardest thing. I often look at my adult children, and know what it is like to lose a parent. Having to go through their things after their deaths, as you grieve and remember everything looking through their memories. This drama reminds you to live life to the fullest while you can, try not to have regrets, and realize life is short. I’m in my later years, and constantly look back on my past, knowing I don’t have many years left. This drama really hits home for me. It is VERY sad, with a few light moments, great plot and great acting. I will continue to the end crying the whole way, unless the story changes suddenly. Definitely worth the watch.

EDIT: So, the drama has changed direction a bit as I watched more episodes. Less about Hospice, and a bit more about character development. I’m not saying it’s a bad direction, just different than earlier episodes. I’ll continue watching and see what develops… my score may drop a bit. Still a good watch though.

COMPLETED/LAST EDIT: My score went from a 10 to an 8.5 by the end. Don’t get me wrong, it was still good, It just changed direction mid way, not in a bad way, just not the way I would have liked. I would still recommend it though. I don’t want to give the story away, but it looks like they could definitely do a season 2 with how it ended.

A Disappointment

This was so boring for me, and it’s a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing Kim Woo-bin make his comeback. I feel like with the high rating, maybe I’m wrong?? All I took away from this was people yelling, fighting, everyone being disappointed about one thing or another, when that wasn’t happening, they were eating. Not really any kind of love story with any physical affection. What was it? Well, it was very boring, with very little happening other than, like I said, yelling, fighting, disappointment, and eating. I would never sit through this again. As it was, I had it on fast forward from the 3rd episode, hoping it would get better. I should have just dropped it.

VERY LONG, but worth every minute

I have a very short attention span, so I put off watching this for a long time. I figured I would watch a few episodes and decide if I was going to actually be able to get through all 51 episodes. Well, it was a first for me, and I loved each and every minute of it. I binged watched it over the course of 4 days because it kept me on the edge of my seat. It had everything you would ever want in a drama, and I mean everything. I can not think of any emotion that wasn’t included the plot. The ending was what I was kind of expecting, so I had tissues on hand. I know it’s long, but it’s worth it. Take it from someone who even has a hard time getting through the normal 16 to 20 episode drama. I won’t watch it again though due to its length, but I absolutely loved it.
