this is my comfort show

no words can describe how much i love this show, while i know its not perfect and there is plotholes i still love this serie soo much. first the chemistry of the leads is so goooooooood i need to see them in another bl serie please :( the chemistry and the kissing scenes are so good, i was looking for the movie after watching the serie because i missed it a lot
and the ost? perfection, i saved the song in my phone i love listening to that type of music
Cha Woo Min has a perfect smile like a sunshine, the actor is so pretty and cute and he reminds me of someone... jimin of bts maybe? i dont know whats about it, probably his eyes or his smile, as jimin also give a bright vibe as he also has a beautiful smile.
i will say definitively that this korean bl serie is my comfort serie and im glad i watched it, its underrated so im really glad that i find it out accidently, i highly recommend it, it feels like something that lift your mood and make you naturally smile

its not as bad as how many people are trying to make it look

if you are looking for a serie where both main characters have their own flaws and you are looking for their character development then this is for you, one of the characters is homophobic and they explain later the reason and the trauma he is dealing with, eventually he learns to accept himself ,to accept his sexuality ,so along the way you will see him first denying the truth and being mean that was his way of defending himself even if he was doing it wrong and you will see the character growth with every step he takes.

the other main character didnt understand what boundaries mean and its only in the first eps then you see him feeling guilty and having a flashback about how type said "i hate you", their first time sleeping together happened with consent so there was no rape involved so what im saying he got handsy in the first eps what happened in the first eps werent to the point of "no forgiveness" and dont get me wrong of course consent is important, so im glad their first time sleeping with each others and the next times were all with consent ,this show never romanticized non consent ,i just want to say if you want to watch the show you need to have an open mind so if you feel triggered so easily then this is not for you

the story of the serie is really interesting, i loved the fact that its fast paced even tho sometimes i feel like i need to catch a break lol and there is plot twists too , it kept me excited
the most thing that i loved is the chemistry, the chemistry of tharntype is the best i have ever seen in any bl serie and im not saying the other bls dont have chemistries i loved many of them but tharntype's chemistry is on top.
the other best thing that i loved is the character growth, tharntype of ep 1 are not the same of last ep,they are 2 completely different persons and i loved watching their growth, the only issue i have with this serie is lhong, i dont like how he didnt end up in jail because he should be in jail

no story, bunch of side couples, cringy dialogue.just nothing!!

what is that again? i was one of those who wanted to see a s2 but the season was so so ridiculious you could end up sleeping while watching. first it was so so slow there is almost no plot and it was only made for the success of season 1 to promote other couples. yeah because the screen time of side couples was a lot but i wasnt about to complain if it was interesting to watch, guess what? they are always in the same spot, with the cringy dialogue and nothing going on.
how was i supposed to enjoy this? almost no events, no cliffhangers, just nothing ..and how type kidnap fiat and tie him? does that even make sense that the one dealing with trauma do that to someone else? i felt like im watching a different show tbh, nothing interesting to watch and i kept pushing myself to check about tharntype story, i ended up skipping many nonsense scenes, scenes that are supposed to end in 1 min they end it in 5 min,just say you have no plot so you just decide to fill it with side couples and still no plot

a creepy and stalkerish handsome guy

the harassment tho.... a bit of harassment i let it pass but this is constant harassment that i see, everywhere he go he finds him stalking him and the guy will not take a no as an answer, im trying to not think too much about it as its just a serie, its all fun until its a real life situation it become a serious problem then, they choose a handsome actor and make people swoon and ignore the red flags.
that scene when they are in the bus he took it too far, he is leaning toward him and putting his hand on his hand on purpose while the other ML clearly doesnt want to be touched he keeps pushing him away, if you are trying to flirt with someone you dont do it like that, not being creepy and non con touching!! thats called sexual harassment/sexual assault depending on what you exactly did.
and he took a picture of him without his consent and then sent it later to him wtf
some people who love this serie feel defensive but its ok for you to acknowledge the flaws of a character but enjoy the serie as well instead of pretending like nothing wrong with the ML because some people are saying he is "only hitting on him" and "its aggressive flirting" wtf? he was clearly crossing his boundaries.. admitting that some things are morally not right is ok, if he was a woman those same people will not be saying those words
another unrealistic thing, how is he harassing his boss without any consequences, i dont get it , usually the person who has power is the one who abuse their power, but this guy is a new employee to work but he is harassing his boss, so weird concept...
the script is obviously bad, really bad, there is so much better plots than this one ,dropped

it was worth the hype that it got

the show is so good, very well done compared to many other netflix series. the plot is so full of mystery and creativity, while i know many people did guess about who the cop's brother is etc but there is also things that you cant guess, for exemple it was surprising about how in ep 2 they went back to their old life before going back again in the game that was not expected. the games were really entertaining and horrifying in the same time as its childhood games used like that

the whole hiarchy about the pink soldiers too is really cool, about how the circle ones are the workers, the triangle ones are the army and the square are the managers,then the front man then the host which is on top.there is also a lot of hidden signs in the serie that you cant find easily ,about how the old man is behind it all and how the games are on the wall and its really cool.
now lets talk about the cast, i dont think there is a better cast than this, the acting is really on top. ep 6? seriously you cant stop the tears, you find yourself so attached to the characters which is something you dont find in every serie. it shows you as well how humans behave when they are desperate so you see a lot of different behaviors from those who sacrifice themselves to those who trick others to survive and its true that every one deal with those situations differently depending on their mental health and their personality. the only thing to criticize here is the vips acting,its cringy and doesnt look realistic to me but again its a korean show so they probably werent aware of it, also if the vips are full of foreign people who dont all speak english fluenty then it could turn cringy, i just dont think that all of them are american.

the last thing i want to mention is the music, its so so goooooood, the "pink soldier" song is so addicting and there is other songs that are also so cool.
overall the show deserve the hype and you can feel that there is a lot of effort behind it im happy when people who worked so hard got what they deserved, for now i can only wish that season 2 dont be rushed, i want them to take their time and make a good plot i dont want it poorly done because season 1 really give high expectations

maybe its just me but i loved it so much

i will start first about things that i didnt like and then end this review with what i loved.
*there is going to be spoilers here*
first it was so short, i really wish it was longer while i understand that korean bls for now are short , the plot is way too much simple too so basically there is not much going on in the serie. the issue between the bestfriends was solved but it was not clearly shown how they come to terms with it, again i understand that was rushed by how short the bl is so yeah.

what i loved is the main characters, can i talk about the chemistry? omg , i was really trying to not fangirl and i watched the serie in 1 day and yeah while the eps are so short im still not someone who watch a show in one day so thats surprising to me,the chemistry is so good ,they look so good together ,Hae Won is so so pretty ,the music is so beautiful too i did download one song from there in my phone and listen to it from time to time. i really loved the vibe the show is giving too,its cute and light and the ending was also satisfying,i really want a season 2 where it could be longer and they could make a more developped plot. while most of time i dont really enjoy korean bls because they are short ,i did really like this the most

mixed feelings

i had mixed feelings about this serie, many people love this show and i can see why.. this show tackled serious matters, it mention many issues and it feel mature not silly which is something that i really loved
but what i didnt like at all is, first im not someone who like comedy, i find some comedy funny but most of the time it doesnt, the other thing is that im not really into the plot of this serie so thats the issue, im not into plots about time travel, lose of memory and you having to figure out what happened which is what this serie is about, so thats why i dont find myself enjoying this, at some point i also started to feel bored, not sure if its because it started to be dragging or only because im not into the plot. def its not my cup of tea

good actors but terrible plot

what is this plot about again? there is barely anything going on, what im saying the plot is not interesting at all
and i dont feel like forcing myself to watch when im bored asf, this has nothing to do with the actors as they look handsome and i think there is chemistry, the thing is the main thing about a show is the plot so unfortunately even those attractive actors coudnt keep me watching this
this show remind me a bit of tale of 1000 stars (about the place, environment), but 1000 stars is an amazing show that have an actual good plot (someone getting a chance to live again, secrets revealed etc ) ,while this one doesnt have anything going on it doesnt look interesting at all so it just looked like a weak remake of 1000 stars
i did notice this about gmmtv, they give us few good gems (good shows ,good plot) while others are all about romance ,dragging too much and barely any plot is going on
good some people love it, it work out for them, i just dont feel interested when there is no story and nothing is going on, they fill the eps with scenes that have barely anything going on in them
