BL or bromance? Who cares! It's just good and I am not surprised it was banned in China
Ok... Now, few hours after finishing, I think I'm ready to write this review. When I heard it was banned but Chinese fans were smart enough to download all episodes, I was really excited to watch this. In the end, not dissapointed.I totally loved all main characters, even tho I was kinda lost in their names, but that is fault of not official subtitles, which I truly hope will get better. LJS and RZM were amazing and their chemistry really did spark. To be honest, I'm not surprised Chinese government had to ban this drama, but it's pitty, because the story was just perfect. In the first place, this is drama about dangoerous deadly game and few people trying to survive. BL aspect was just part of it. I'm about to read novel, so I 'm looking forward the scenes which didn't make it up the drama.
I don't really like horrors so I was asking myself: "Am I really watch this just bcs is censored BL?" The answer was clear, to be honest... But I really loved the story. Sometimes it was really scary, sometimes not. Sometimes I felt butterflies in my belly, sometimes I fet like I'm about cry the whole night.
Every single doors containes different story and characters have to find clues and find our what's goin on. It's not easy, but when they work together, it's not even hard. The story is full of tension which made me watch whole drama in few days and I really recommend this one.
But I have some reservations towards the ending. I mean, I can't say I didn't like, but neither that I did. The last scene just doesn't make sense to me. Overall. I really enjoy this. If you are afraid it's just bromance and you want BL, don't care. Yes, it is bromance, but as I said before, I'm not surprised China bannes it.
SPOILER ALERT >>> I haven't read novel yet, so maybe I just didn't get it correctly, but why did he have to make whole new world? Why not just new NPC? I mean, it was possible for his friend to create NPC which is able to come out of game, so why not do it again? I know it's not easy, but this is supernatural or rather kind of scifi show and it was possible one time. Why not again? And I would like to know who was that friend from high school.

Best BL of 2024 so far
Wow. So this was something amazing. A while ago I sent a friend this message: "It's amazing, amazing amazing amazing perfect great wonderful and I've run out of synonyms for the word amazing." And I stand by my words. The interesting thing is that the series is filmed in Taiwan, but according to a Chinese book by a very famous author called Priest, One Chinese series based on a book by this author has already been banned in China, so I'm glad that Taiwan took the initiative to create such a wonderful work. It will be very difficult for me to say goodbye to this couple. I think this is the first time I'm sorry that it's not common outside of Thailand for couples to stay together and star in multiple series because Chris and Kurt are the stars. They played the roles of Qian and Yuan perfectly and put their best into both characters. Chemistry begets chemistry, tension builds, and sparks fly exactly when they're supposed to. AWESOME.Was this review helpful to you?
I was more then surprised
Well, this was really something. The very first time I've read the synopis, I had no expectations and basicly I didn't even want to watch it. But my friend did and she liked so I gave it a chance and... I was really rusprised how good it actually is!The chemistry between all of them is amazing and I totally fell in love with all couples. Even that the most surprising one. Like... What? The? Hell?... I was screaming, not sure of it was out of happiness or frustration, probably both, but I still love the way they were put together, even tho I think it would be better if there was something with Japan a Ken.
Anyway, I enjoyed Wela and Khem's performance and generally the plot. Setting was surprisingly good choice.

Great sim of mutual chemistry
Our dating sim is officially the best BL k-drama I've ever seen. The short story, which can be watched as one longer film, brought a subject that I personally have not yet encountered. High school graduation didn't go as planned, but Shin Ki Tae and Lee Wan met again after seven years and explained everything to each other after a long time. I am not a fan of mobile games of this type, that's why I was a little hesitant to start this at all, but luckily I quickly realized that it's not a game, but a series. The chemistry between the actors is amazing and the supporting characters also prove themselves. The always tired Sunny was definitely the best of the group of colleagues we could meet.Was this review helpful to you?
Not an ordinary love BL
Originally, I didn't want to watch this series at all. Sixteen ninety-minute episodes didn't particularly appeal to me, but since my pen pal friend was convicing me about a year that I should watch it, I thought I'd give it a chance. Partly also to give me a break with this XD.The first episodes didn't excite me in any way, in large part because of Nut, who was really not easy to find my way to and like him. But then the flashbacks came and the more his past was revealed, the more I understood his behavior. Nut seems like an complicated character at first, but his past gives meaning to every bad word that comes out of his mouth. Tofu, on the other hand, is a total cutie. They are like yin and yang with Nut.
Teddy bear differs from other romantic BLs in that it is not just about a romantic line. In addition to love, various other topics such as domestic violence, parental homophobia, toxic family relationships, separation and many others are dealt with. Things were happening in the background all the time, which at first seemed to be unimportant, but eventually fit perfectly into the main storyline. Finding out that Song is actually Nueng's brother, that Prim knows Tarn, the assault investigation, the extremely annoying neighbor whose eyes I'd rather gouge out... All of this was directly related to Nut and somehow fit into his story. If even one detail were missing, the whole story would change from the ground up.
I knew how the story would end, so some things weren't that shocking to me. It made certain things make sense to me before their meaning was revealed, and what some people feared, I looked forward to.
Despite all that, the last two episodes got me. During them, all the emotions in me alternated, but in the end it still ended with joy. The ending was exactly what this story called for.

Rollercoaster
This is called a roller coaster... I'm not a big fan of the omegaverse, but I was curious to see how the story would unfold and I was really pleasantly surprised. It was already clear from the first episode that there would be a lot of action in the story, but I did not expect that the plot would take such a turn. I was ready for something like Love in the air, but although these two series have something in common, there is not much at all.The chemistry between Babe and Charlie sparkled so much that it blinded everything else around. Their scenes were simply unforgettable and whether they were acting like lovebirds, helping each other, trying to protect each other or fighting, the actors always gave it their all. Behind the scenes videos and fanmeetings are just proof that Pavel and Pooh are a perfect duo and I firmly believe that I will see them in another project soon.
The side couples were also great, but the "side couple steals the show" rule didn't apply here. Babe and Charlie starred in all circumstances. But Way completely won me over. I know what the vast majority feel about him, especially after THAT event, but I stand by the fact that he wouldn't be able to do it anyway.
S P O I L E R >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Way Baba loved sincerely and from his heart. He wouldn't be able to hurt him, and if it went that far by accident, he would never forgive himself and would blame himself for the rest of his life. I don't know anyone who liked him and everyone hated him after THAT event, but I knew he would get his redemption arch and win everyone's hearts in the end. The same goes for Kenta. Kent completely surprised me. A few hours ago I read somewhere the theory that Tony will be stabbed in the back. He did it Literally. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<< END OF SPOILER
I had an inkling of what would come at the end, but it still broke me. The best experience associated with Pit babe was watching episode 8 or 9 on a tablet on the bus.

Jazz is jazzing
This was really good one. The story seemed to be ordinary, but it wasnt! Not at all. All four important characters were really interesting and their behaviour made sense to the storyline. I love the chmistry between MCs becuase they just really match together. Some say their acting could be better, but I really enjoyed them. I admit there were scenes where I was like: "The what is that?" but was not their fault. To me it seems like some scenes just weren't in the finale version, but that's just my opinion. Side couple was also great.Was this review helpful to you?
