WORST BL ENDING EVER !! TOXIC AND ABUSIVE
where do I start ? TOFU deserves better.. nut was very abusive and he kept just taking the abuse and hurt but I chose to accept watching it because I think the two actors have amazing chemistry together... but really the ending really destroyed the show... tofu deserved so much more than to end up being a a teddy bear watching the person he loved be with someone else... taht is such a disgusting end for Tofu who did everything for everybody and deserved the world. Don't watch this if u hated the ending of MAKING OUR DAYS COUNT.. it crushes u even more than that.Was this review helpful to you?
Korea Continues to set the STANDARD
With all 8 episodes now completed... I want to highlight this masterpiece properly. The ensemble cast really delivered. I want to particularly give praise to the stellar acting of Lee Tae Vin in the final two episodes.. he truly carried the episodes on his back and delivered the emotion needed to take this show through to its finale. Cha Joo Wan was fantastic as the love interest of the male lead. his eyes tell it all and he conveyed his emotions really well. His lines will resonate with me forever such as : you're my first everything.... I can do better with practice. A scene stealer for me though was easily Oh Min Su who portrayed Chun Sang Won and his characters opening to his own queer identity was so refreshing and he delivered some really iconic lines in the show such as '' You are so frustrating... until now I only dated girls '' ''so what If I'm gay ''Love for Love's Sake is another Gem - I highly recommend it. Korea has a way of filming shows that really connect to me as I grew up watching shows like Skam and Skins... the way Korean actors deliver emotion through their face is so nuanced and precise that you don't ever have to guess what they are thinking.... the acting is so well done.
Korea has started the year strong yet again... they did it with Blueming in 2022... the Eight Sense in 2023 and now this in 2024.... this show is so good.. the acting is stellar... the plot is refreshing and the ensemble cast are all delivering.

Stay for the Music... Leave for the Acting.
The best thing about this show is the fantastic soundtrack and music featured in it... the sex scenes are fantastic.. but Zee as an actor in my opinion is very one dimensional... After the show started really strong, there have been a lot of comments about a lack of a strong enough plot and the idea that Diao and Kuea were literally groomed from small ? I must say some of the stuff like the age difference and how Diao was so obedient towards Hia Lin and him having a 9pm curfew still at that age really weirded me out to be honest.Was this review helpful to you?
Triage is a BL MasterPiece
I must say hats off to Sammon (Author of Manner of Death & Triage) because the writing in both series was really good.. but I did this post to applaud the stunning masterpiece that is Triage.. Tae and Tee's chemistry together is unparalleled and this show deserves all the flowers. Triage deserves way more than the terrible distribution TV Thunder has provided it with.. so I hope more people get to see and appreciate this masterpiece. Definitely Top 5 this year for me next to Blueming, Semantic Error, Cherry Blossom and Dear Doctor.Was this review helpful to you?

Problematic
This was a pleasantly good show.. but the lack of kissing at all threw me off.... If there was no kissing scene in the show I would understand it more... but the side couple kissed which leads me to believe the actors of the main couple did not want to do the same. I respect people's right to not do this but it made me story feel empty.. How can you propose to someone in the final scene and not have even shared a kiss with them ? If the actors did not feel comfortable to do so they should have found those who could. No one is asking for sex scenes but I think if we are being realistic the idea of them never having one kiss and ''spending the rest of their lives together'' is a bit farfetched.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best of 2022
This is so beautifully done... there is some fluff but there is also some real issues attached it and it feels like a classic Taiwanese BL.. bringing back all the feels of the History Series for me. The soundtrack for this is so stellar. I must say this deserved 16. the chemistry between the 2 couples are so good.. but I am so in love with the two main characters ! I need to see these 4 actors in more series in the future because they are really delivering and are really great given this is their first series I am very impressed with everyone involved.Was this review helpful to you?
TIME Travel BL done RIGHT
This was a masterclass performance from both lead actors in this show . I loved that they didn't drag it out and he figured out everything pretty quickly when it came to the time travel concept of the show. the actor who plays the young version of him is also really good and perfectly casted as well. I really didn't think a time travel BL would work but it really did and I hope in the future we get more out of the box BL's like this to expand the genre and give it more global reach ... the soundtrack in this is so good also.Was this review helpful to you?
Another BL CLASSIC FROM JAPAN
This joins my top 3 all time list from Japan which has My Beautiful Man as #1 and Kieta Hatsukoi as #2... this was so light hearted and fun and beautiful all wrapped up into one.. I thought 5 episodes would be too short to tell the story but they did it so beautifully I didn't feel like it was rushed at all. .the chemistry is exceptional.. Japan delivers yet again. Hope we see more of these actors one day I really enjoyed the concept and plot of the age gap and it felt so real as we all deal with the feelings of growing older and not knowing what to do with the rest of our lives.Was this review helpful to you?
Groundbreaking BL FOR THE GENRE
Together with Me was Maxtul playing the regular generic BL roles and that is the show that got them their initial success but Manner of Death truly takes them to the next level and gives them credit as respectable actors.. the genre for a BL series is unprecedented and they are truly setting a trend and breaking a mole here with this crime BL drama. no one can touch maxtul's chemistry... they are both stellar in this role and its really refreshing to see a non university based BL series.. they are the kings of BL and no one will come near to them anytime soon.Was this review helpful to you?
Max and Daran shines as Chess and Peng
Final review of #theoutingseries, first 4 episodes were lukewarm...episodes 5 to 8 were the peak of the series & Chess, Apa and Peng really delivered good acting and insane chemistry. The finale fell flat to me & it needed more meat in it to deliver - 8/10 #TheOutingSeriesEP12I could watch an entire series with Chess, Peng and Apa... they were so dynamic and good and the plot was really interesting.
The Bl side story really delivered for me and I was really gripped by Chess & PENG

A terrible sequel to a brilliant first season
Season 2 was TERRIBLE.. it really ruined a perfectly good season 1 of a show... the time jump with beshie and kulas made no sense... the editing in the last couple episodes was atrocious.I was so confused about the BeshieKulas story .. I was like huh ? did kulas and him start fooling around and I missed an episode or something.. cause it went into overdrive out of nowhere . I think Kyo's inexperience showed really bad in the second season... he just can't do emotional seasons and it made me very uncomfortable to watch.

Beautifully Done
This was such a stunningly done BL. and is right up there with My Beautiful Man AND Kieta Hatsukoi for me.. the pacing was my major concern about the show but shin and minato have my heart... they had me all in my feels and the chemistry was off the chain.. my favorite character however was asuka... from his look to his vibe. everything about him drew me in and I really wish we see more of that actor as well in the future because he was really good. The finale was beautifully done and I'm happy he done not give up his future for a man cause he truly should be allowed to live his life an fulfil his goals.Was this review helpful to you?

1ST HALF STELLAR ! 2ND HALF HOT MESS
Giving it a 7 because the first half of this morning was just stunning.... the minute the ages up the main character the story went downhill... the age gap between him and the girl was cringey to watch and I hated that he was reincarnated as a girl .... I think it's a bit ridiculous... I don't think the time jump was needed.. the story could have ended beautifully with his death and the reactions to it and I WOULD have easily given this show a 10.. ohm pawat is slowly becoming one of my favorite BL actors.. he adapts to his role so well in everything I'VE SEEN HIM Play.Was this review helpful to you?
Stellar
The chemistry between the lead characters are insane.. I have watched a lot of BL series and this will definitely go down as one of the best there is... the chemistry between the leads reminded me a lot of the actors from the series ''Addicted'' this was really good and I think they managed to tell the story very well and it felt completed even though each episode was less than 11 minutes it never felt short.. I would really love for them to make a thai version of this and stretch it out even longerWas this review helpful to you?
