Middle Love (2023)

Cute and Adorkable.

I'll be honest, after the first episode of this show I was giving it 4/10, and I thought that was generous. I found it awkward, weird and very cringey. I don't think I laughed once during the first episode.
I also felt a lot of whiplash knowing this was set in the same world, with many of the same characters, as Bed Friend. Because the tone of this show almost couldn't be more different than that show.

But I wanted to give the show a couple of episodes in case it got better. Episode 2 was a 6/10.
And when I reached episode 3 it was a 9/10. And I found myself laughing and smiling through the whole thing. Where I at first found Jade's character annoying and cringey, I now found him dorky and utterly adorable. At first I thought that maybe the show had just improved over the three episodes. So I went back and watched episode 1 again, and I kind of loved it!

Honestly I have no idea what happened. I feel like I might have slightly lost my mind. But regardless, right now I am counting down the days to the next episodes.

In conclusion. I suspect that this show will be somewhat polarizing. And that everybody won't gel with it like I ended up doing. But I hope you do. Because I'm loving it!

Farce

If you are here because of the Bed Friend then,

Uea, the kitten -----> Uea, the lion
King, the Wolf -----> King, the puppy
Lmao, King lost his groovy, and now he looks like a lost puppy.
They tried to create vice versa of the Bed Friend and make the feeling the same people but a different story. And that they added too many satirical scenes and lines. Some scenes don't make any sense, sometimes you may feel like whether you should laugh or not, and some scenes give you an inner dilemma like 'what just happened?'. Still 7 eps to leftefe. Hope for the best.

Waste of time

I was initially really looking forward to this series because of the storyline and the main actors (from Why R U). Then I was dissapointed to hear the main actors were changed but decided to give it a chance anyway...despite the horrible looking trailer with the new cast. Today I tried to watch episode 1 and had to stop. It was too painful! The character of Jade is horrible! Embarrassing, gross and just plain cringe worthy. Its not even funny to see someone acting like that and I can't understand why anyone would like him in a romantic way. I like comedy but only when its well done. This was not...I will be saving me time and passing on this dissapointing series...

I am disappointed to say the least about this drama ??
This drama was purely comedic and for ppl who want to see comedic bls this is the one for you !!!
Otherwise dont bother!!

Plot: Ass!!
Chemistry: so so
Acting: Ass!!

Let me be straight with yall!!
I would not advise you to waste ur time on this !!!
It is impossible to comprehend how Ppl can possibly still watch this !!
Its a mystery for me !!

Let me say this for the netjames fans who says " i am watching this for netjames " ????? netjames is not going to save the plot or the acting
I bearly watched this bl for couple minutes , it didnt even reach halfway for me to drop this
It nearly made me sleep , and omg that was it for me me bro !!!
It was not giving off the vibes u would be feeling in a bl

I wish i could have exaggerated more on this but all i can possibly say about this is that i hope that the two mcs for the drama act in a better series
And once again Never to trust trailers in bls it can be misleading !!!
My advice to u all!!

Sometimes don't mind the comments before starting a series!

I started knowing about the series through the BL fan pages posting clips of the series. But after reading some of the top comments left on MDL I was unsure but I still start watching it because of TutorYim that I knew and adore from Cutie Pie.

And dare I say it was quite a journey through the first episode! The pacing of the episode was quite good although not quite packed with backstory for me to get to know the characters (also understandable as it is only 8 episodes). The cinematography was great (thank god for 4K Youtube) and the editing were not that horrible.

As I am not that deep into DMD's BL environment for me to compare and slam the series for it's storyline, actor/acting etc. like some of the commenters here, I think it was just a cute, bubbly, cringey BL for me to take it too seriously. Jade IS quite a handful as a character and at times over-hyper but I don't mind it. His chemistry with Mai is quite good and I'm quite surprised that I'm not into NetJames which is apparently DMD's other big BL couple that I'm not familiar yet.

The series' characters and vibe almost remind me of "A Boss and A Babe", in which both of them were not the top-notch series of the year type of series as much as an introduction series for the actors to really get experiences for acting. All and all I can say it is a good BL for you to fill up the time but you can't expect an Oscar for the series. And I do understand that for some people, this kind of series is not their cup of tea.

I can expect myself watching it through the end with hope that the story will progressing great in the future episode.

a lovely comedy series

Middleman's love is a Romance series which has a stronge comedy center plot, Jade is a whimsical and adorable character that is able to captive us from the first episode, honestly couldn't stop smiling while he was on the screen, Yim (the actor playing the role) did an incredible job expanding the depths of this lovely character we met in Bed Friend Series, can't wait to get to know Jade story better. For Mai I must say that Tutor' (the actor playing this role) charm is irresistible, he also did an incredible job in this role, Mai' foxy-like personality is intriging and engadging to watch. For the series plot I must say that is something cute to watch, can't wait to see all the funny chaos in the next episodes. One thing I must warn the Bed Friend series (show that is the prequel of this one) watchers is that now we are seeing the world through Jade' perspective, so we see the other characters through his perspective as well, for that reason Uea and King appear to be more child-like/ chaotic-like due the fact Jade percive them this way. Honestly, this show is adorable, we are only in the first episode but is something to hold on until the end.
