It could have been better, but still, it's good.
First of all, you must watch "TharnType: 7 years of love" before watching this series. If you do, you will have a better understanding of the main leads. I didn't like Fiat because of what he did in TharnType S2, but with this series I ended up loving him. In this series, we get to know that part of him that we couldn't see in TharnType S2. Yes, he is determined and sassy, but he is adorable and vulnerable as well. Personally, the acting was on point and everyone did a really good job. Both couples had excellent chemistry. If you like hot scenes like in TharnType, here you get a lot of them as well. The story was some kind of roller-coaster, unnecessary drama, some characters sometimes didn't use the logic, and there was some toxic behaviors. Still, it was enjoyable. Is it good? Yes. Did I love it? No. Would I recommend it? Yes, but I'm pretty sure people will not like it as I do. So, if you want to watch this series, do it. Just don't have any expectations.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
This is what I call a good kdrama
I wasn't expecting too much from this drama. I really liked the trailer, and the synopsis caught my attention. So, I gave it a try even though it was still airing.The plot of this drama was new to me, but I could notice that they did a good job with its development. They portrayed the lives of actors and staff in the entertainment industry quite well (still with some room for improvement though). I never realized how tough is to be in PR until this drama.
This kdrama resolved misunderstandings fast, and I was so grateful for that. I don't like it when dramas go on and on over a misunderstanding just to expand the story more than it's needed. This drama doesn't do that. Simple misunderstandings tend to be solved in the same episode or the following, so no worries about getting desperate over these things. Also, I tend to skip a lot of scenes that I find boring, but I barely did that while watching this drama, so that says a lot.
They developed the characters really well in my opinion. I got to establish a bond with most of them, seeing sides of them that you can relate to or empathize with. I loved all the couples as well. The start of their relationships felt natural and not rushed at all. Second male lead interest? Don't worry about that at all. There is a SML, but it's not the typical one that you wish the female lead ends up with. They are adults, and I love they act as such in these situations (except with their respective partners. Some couples act so childish omg, but it's kind of cute).
In short, I don't love this drama, but I enjoyed it a lot. I would definitely watch it again. I think it could have been better, but it's quite a good drama independently of my personal taste, so that's why the high rating.
Also, the actor who plays the male main lead is so good here. His character is my favorite. I surprisingly didn't find him annoying at all. Actor Kim Young Dae, keep up the good work!

Not a bad watch
This series, generally speaking, does not have anything out of the ordinary. It's pretty much the same you would find in other BLs. However, the fact that it doesn't have a refreshing plot doesn't make it a bad watch. It is a good/okay BL to watch.The main couple was good, but as the drama progressed, their story and chemistry were losing my interest. In some scenes, their interactions felt kind of forced too. They had a lot of unnecessary drama too.
I liked the other two couples more (especially Dome and Vee). Aii and Saen's couple was pretty cute and comforting. Good chemistry too. But, I think Dome and Vee's couple was the best. They had great chemistry, and I found their plot to be more interesting. They even gave me ITSAY's vibes at times.
I honestly think that this series could have been better if all three couples had the same amount of screen time. This series had a lot of drama that could have been avoided, giving a better execution. If they had developed more into Dome and Vee's story, the series would have been more interesting.
But overall, I enjoyed most of this series. I wouldn't recommend it, BUT if you watched the trailer and liked it, go ahead and watch it. It's a good watch to kill time. Just don't have any expectations.

This could have been better, but it's not a bad watch
I should be honest. I decided to watch this because of Chimon, but surprised! He's in the last ep.As a person who likes horror movies, I was expecting a lot from this series. Some stories are good, others are meh. The number of moments I got scared was pretty rare, and I honestly finished it because I wanted to see Chimon in the last episode (I know I didn't have to watch all the other stories, but it's just 8 episodes, so why not?).
In my opinion, ep 1 was pretty good (ignoring the CGI, it was terrible) and gave me high expectations for the following stories. Sadly, they weren't as good. Scenes that are supposed to be " scary" were more unpleasant to watch because of the gore and how explicit they were rather than giving some sense of terror. Luckily, almost halfway through, there is an ep that's more like comedy relief, and I'm grateful for that.
I'm not sure if I would recommend this because it's not bad, but I don’t think you should stop watching other dramas because of it. Are you bored? Go ahead. It's not a bad watch. I gave it an 8/10 because I know it's a good series independently of my own preferences. I just have high expectations when it comes to horror.
NOTE: Do not watch this series if you can't stand gore. There are explicit scenes (in terms of torture and death).

Their chemistry carried this series
When I started watching this show, I wasn't expecting too much. So, it was such a surprise when I started looking forward to every Friday to watch the new episode.The chemistry of the main actors was what made me stay. Best Friends to Lovers' plots sometimes tend to be boring for me, but the actors did a great job. I got engaged in their friendship, so much so that I was happy for them when they finally got together. Chemistry in BL is key, and they have it. The story was good but kind of predictable if you get the hints. The CGI wasn't good, but it didn't bother me as much. Overall, all the actors did a great job in my opinion.
This BL could have been SO much better if the story was written differently. I felt the series was losing strength during the last episodes. Would I watch it again? Maybe, but just some scenes of the main couple. I loved their interactions. They were fun and felt unique.
It's not one of the best BLs, but it's not a bad one either.
Note: Akk is the BEST character here. Everything about him is great. He's comprehensive, rational, and the BEST FRIEND EVER. He's kind of dumb too but cute.
