This was an amazing drama. I literally just finish watching the last episode and I swear I was bawling my eyes out like a little baby...it was not a pretty sight. The cast were great, they all did a brilliant job.

As much as I loved the show I was not happy with the ending, I felt everything was packed into one episode.....I'm probably just been a greedy viewer but I need some type of closure, and I think the only way is to have a season 2. Like they're so many questions that needs to be answered...like did 21st century Hae-Soo go back to her normal life?...what happened after she left the museum?...what actually did happen to the Goryeo era Hae-Soo when 21st century Hae-Soo took over her body?....So many questions and I think they can only be answered by having another season. Which is probably never gonna happen.

I really hope they do end up having another season because when you think about it, the other versions had a sequel.

This was such a brilliant watch.

A realistic look of queer couples without fetishisation. Loved it! We need more of this….South Korean & many conservative countries need more of this…..Having this would educate so many people & make them realise queer people exist too and are like everyone else.

Yon Tae-yun’s story was definitely the highlight for me. I couldn’t help but be happy for him…..Literally bawled my eyes out. I’m so glad he had such a supportive girlfriend (Min-Jun) and mum all through the process. It couldn’t have been easy.

I’m happy for the other couples too. I really do hope they all have a happy life, even if their relationship does not work out.

Had so much potential.

This became very painful to watch. Partly because of poor Chan-kyu..he was the most genuine out of all of them and they were all blind to it. It was so frustrating to watch. He seemed like such a sweet guy. I hope he meets/has met a much better partner that would appreciate him after this.

 I pretty much skipped majority of the last few episodes just because of how frustrated I was for him. I hope the next few seasons are much better.

Overall though it’s nice to see a queer reality show from SK. Was never on my bingo list. Hopefully this opens the door for many more. And starts a positive conversation in their society.

Oh dear….

I have so much to say about this but I truly do not know how to put my thoughts into words without it becoming a tangent so I’m gonna try my best.

Someone described it has a proper queer movie & I could not agree more! It had everything you could ask for…passion..angst…EVERYTHING!

I started off the movie gutted I hadn’t watch it a lot sooner…if only I had remembered why I initially didn’t watch it the first time it was on my radar…If only.

It’s honestly been a while since a queer movie moved me - or got a reaction this did out of me…I literally bawled my eyes out (non stop) in the remaining half of the movie.

I do have to say I went in blind not fully reading the synopsis due to the fact that many synopsis on here tend to contain spoilers, then about 5 minutes in I thought to come back and read it properly. While the thought of something tragic happening did cross my mind. I was not expecting what I got cause I thought ‘gone are the days of queer cinema with sad endings’…..How naive I was.

Lastly, I know this is fictional - but, Kosuke was definitely a godsend to that family and I could not help but hurt for him.

The cast did a fantastic job portraying these nuance characters. We need more of this in Asian queer cinema…of course with more happy endings.

A ‘meh’ from me

I was hoping I would love this but I truly struggled. I’m not one to skip scenes but towards the end I couldn’t help but do so.

And to be honest, I was not expecting much as I tend to avoid watching pre 2020 Thai BLs cause I remember how much I struggled with them back then.

But watching ‘Not me’ prior to this gave me a big push cause I wanted to see ‘Off & Gun’ in something else.

While I wouldn’t recommend this, it’s not a full right off. It’s more of a reminder for me to not bother with older Thai BLs.

The scenes with the main couples were great though. They did a good job with what they had. And Gun is a fantastic actor per usual. He has a way of showing emotions in a way many actors in this genre aren’t able to.

Angst with a mix of comic relief.

I’ve just finished watching this and I’m bawling my eyes out.

I was expecting it, and literally promised myself I wouldn’t cry but boy oh boy, I failed miserably at stopping the waterworks.

While I knew that the writer going for a different ending (e.g via a loophole, or some bizarre plot twist) would have been very unrealistic I was still hoping for a better outcome.

Overall I genuinely went into this not knowing what to expect but I was so surprised, it had so many funny moments and I probably laugh out loud in public a few times. It was a ride but gosh so heart wrenching. And the cast were just phenomenal.

Didn’t want it to end.

Didn’t watch a kdrama for months but binged watched this during exam week (one of those things your brain does when you’er stressed AF). It was a claustrophobic watch, but I genuinely devoured it!

On a personal note, while it’s nothing new (especially in recent years), and I know not many people like this aspect, but I love when k-dramas drop all the facade on sex and physical affection. Especially with older characters. I know it’s partly due to it being a Netflix production but I didn’t find the sex scenes in this distasteful at all.

I haven’t watched a handful of k-drama’s this year due to life getting in the way, and while there was some usual fictional world loopholes, it’s probably my fav so far.

And just based on the cinematography alone, I can’t recommend enough.
