With a combination of Japan & Taiwan, this series is even more interesting to follow than the other series which combined Korean and Thailand *oops*
In Indonesian:
Sebelumnya saya sudah underestimate sama series ini mengingat tema yang diangkat sama seperti gameboys, akan tetapi ternyata setelah ditonton beberapa episode series ini memiliki daya tariknya tersendiri yang berbeda dari series lainnya yang sedang tayang.
Dengan perpaduan Japan & Taiwan, series ini justru lebih menarik untuk diikuti dari pada series sebelah yang mempertemukan Korea dengan Thailand *ups*

First of all, I'd like to say that I fell in love with all of actors of this series especially Alex and Kokoy. They really are great actors, and now I am in love with them. The chemistry amongst them was one of aspect of this show that blew my mind. Many show tried to "erect" the duration with some bullshits, but this series took a "short-cut" to finish beautifully.
And the soundtrack! Oh my god! I F**king love it!

I didn’t buy about any stupid triangle-love idea, it just felt empty. They need to build more story or even conflicts amongst them in the next season, otherwise they got more bad ratings ahead.
The song they played from the beginning successfully attracted me, and now remind on my head over and over again.
You know what? This is the first series that forced me to subscribe “gol” :~

I am not a fans of anime or manga, so I don’t really give a damn about the manga/anime version. For me, this show was fantastic!
In the first episode they did actually drive me crazy to fell in love. I do love the idea, the concept, the acting, the story, the music or even the atmosphere. The one and only thing that I hate of this series was the duration. Why did you give us a short time duration in a single episode in every single week? :((((
I really wish that I could see more of them, especially the side story.
Oh my god! the last 2 series that I just finished were pretty amazing!

Without having any expectations, this series actually surprised me with its sweetness. Looks cheap and modest impression, for me this series managed to beat TharnType 2 which incidentally has a fairly large promotional fund.
I feel This series more like my redemption of Nitiman which I thought could be one of my favorite series of this year. But turn out, made me down deeply :”
Another great thing of this series comes from their opening and closing soundtrack, respectively. A Northern Thailand-style music is kinda dopey, it’s remind me of dangdut music from Indonesia. lol

So from my perspective, this series really enjoying and annoying at the same time. I do mind a little bit about their acting performances, but another aspects of this series were really great. I keep wondering, on another series (from another countries) was Tin’s expression really that exaggerated?
Even though, some jokes didn’t get my criteria but the plot was quite interesting. I didn’t even realize how silly the jokes were, but still I laughed no matter what.
And now the original soundtrack still ringing in my head.
Do I need to watch the original one? hm

I was hoping that this series could be one of my favorite series of this year (at least my top 15), but it seems it has failed miserably after watching the last episode.
Not because of the bad acting from all of actors, nor the empty chemistry between the main characters, but the poor script with (almost) none developed supporting stories makes this series easily forgotten.
But this series makes me hate my self for not hating this series that much. :(

Seeing those three BL actors from 3 different series, made my brain always associate to evey one of them with their respective series (before this)
Apart from that, this series is still worth watching and finishing in a short amount of time. That was a good idea, isn't it?
In Indonesian:
Cukup menarik sebenarnya tema yang diangkat, tapi lagi-lagi BL korea selalu terkesan buru-buru. Sampai-sampai konflik yang diangkatpun diselesaikan begitu cepat. Padahal jika dikembangkan lebih dalam, series ini punya potensi yang bagus untuk bisa jadi sesuatu yang istimewa.
Melihat ketiga aktor BL dari 3 series yang berbeda, membuat otakku selalu mengaitkan satu dengan yang lainnya terhadap series mereka masing-masing (sebelumnya)
Diluar dari hal itu, series ini masih layak untuk ditonton dan diselesaikan dalam satu waktu yang cepat. That was a good idea, isn’t it?

Performances of some actors actually weren’t exactly bad, it's just that some characters are quite ruined the "scenery" every times they’re appear.
Honestly, I like the tune in each episode, even without the lyrics but the piano chime sounds quite romantic to me lol
but ... what a bastard!!! I have to guess about the conversations between the characters, especially in each part 1 per episode. And getting worse in the last 2 episodes. Please fix the subtitles!!
In Indonesian:
Cukup jarang series yang ngebahas soal “gangguan mental” terutama terkait perilaku makan, oleh sebab itu saya memberikan poin cukup tinggi terhadap series ini dari sisi story.
Aktingnya sebenarnya tidak bisa dibilang jelek, hanya saja beberapa karakter cukup mengganggu “pemandangan” acap kali dia muncul.
Jujur saja saya suka dengan alunan nada ditiap episodenya, walaupun tanpa lirik akan tetapi dentingan piano yang terdengar cukup romantis bagi saya lol
tapi... bajingan sekali memang dari sisi subtitle, saya harus menebak kira-kira percakapan antara tokoh terutama ditiap part 1 per episodenya. Dan diperparah dengan 2 episode terakhir. Bangsaaat!

A different story from Korean, coupled with the acting of all actors were also extraordinary is the main advantages of this series.
Another thing that I like of this series is they’re not “wordy” to extend the duration like we often found in other dramas (especially from South Korea).
And last... The classical music along the way added to the emotional side of this series so that I didn't realize made my tears fall down.
In Indonesian:
Serial korea pertama tahun ini yang berhasil membuatku menangis tersedu-sedu, setidaknya dalam satu episode.
Cerita yang berbeda dari drama korea lainnya, ditambah dengan akting para pemain yang juga luar biasa menjadi kelebihan utama dalam series ini.
Hal lain yang saya suka adalah, series ini tidak bertele-tele hanya untuk memperpanjang durasi layaknya yang sering kita temukan pada drama lainnya (especially from south korea).
Alunan musik klasik sepanjang perjalanan menambah sisi emosional series ini hingga tak sadar membuat airmata saya turun dengan sendirinya.

A qualified saint's performance with all his charms is a plus of this series
However, many annoying characters that really don't need to exist and with a really bad acting were the two negative things that unforgivable.
In Indonesian:
Meskipun bukan tema baru didunia pertelevisian, akan tetapi plot yang dibuat menarik membuat serial ini mampu diikuti hingga akhir.
Akting saint yang mumpuni dengan segala pesonanya, menjadi nilai tambah untuk serial ini.
Hanya saja, banyak karakter mengganggu yang sebenarnya tidak perlu ada dan dengan akting yang buruk menjadi dua hal negatif sepanjang saya menonton series ini.

Apart from stale themes, a plot that didn’t focus and (almost) all of performances that looks stif were another weakness of this series.
However, the adorable players with full of easy listening soundtracks made me enjoy this series until I realized I had arrived at the end of first season.
In Indonesian:
Tema yang berulang-ulang di BL series ini membuat saya mikir untuk menontonnya diawal-awal episode, sampai akhirnya memberanikan diri untuk mencicipi tiga episode pertama dan ternyata saya menyukainya.
Selain tema yang basi, plot yang tidak fokus dengan akting yang nampak masih kaku merupakan hal lain yang menjadi kelemahan dari series ini.
Namun, para pemain yang menggemaskan dengan lagu-lagu yang enak didengar membuat saya menikmati series ini hingga saya sadari saya sudah sampai dpenghujung musim satu.

Even though this film wasn’t about “a real love story”, but with this concept I found something more interesting than I expected.
Both of two actors were really great of their performances and characters, I even believed of what I saw on the whole movie.
With the supported of great scoring, this movie succeeded for me giving more stars than any recent korean drama that I watched.

Basically, I am not into action especially the one that tells story about the mob versus police, it always kinda boring and usually made my mood down easily but this one succeeded brake my wall eventually.
If we compared to “Make Our Days Count”, honestly I don’t have any idea which one that I love the most. Because between these two, the have their own specialties that made the choices hard for me.
Now, I can continue watching my 2021 series. But I think I’m gonna sleep first. ?

But as time went by I realized, many conflicts from this series have a superior quality than the previous one.
Xiang Hao and Yu Xi's character development was truly extraordinary, let alone A-Hao. To be honest I cried out loud during the last episode. This series made me realize that sadness doesn't have to be portrayed clearly. It turned out that it was saved at the end of the time to make this series like a bomb, which devastated the people who watching it.
For sure, this series would be on the list as my favorite BL series of all time.
