The contradiction between the message and the actual execution

The only reason I watched this was because of the stunningly beautiful actress.. It is available on Netflix.

The series is basically a tribute to her beauty, because there is no serious plot, no significant or human dialogues, and certainly no chemistry. The actor is completely out of her league. This could have worked if at least he had an interesting personality, but there was nothing about him, including his appearance, that was worth the heart or moved me. He acts okay, he is overall handsome, but there was nothing that made him attractive enough in a series that mainly does close-ups of beauty and faces.

We certainly got to see every possible angle of the beautiful actress's face, but at the same time, there was really nothing to see when they showed the others.
I was also very, very surprised by her blatant dress style. It wasn't like this in Korean dramas a few years ago. I was very surprised, a lot has changed, and it's a bit hard to digest.

It even contradicted the whole message of the series, where she suffers from being looked at for her body, takes slimming pills, and in the end, they focus on her body.

Another annoying thing was the cigarettes. It was censored until today inSK drama. Suddenly, we see the long continuous advertisement for cigarettes, and it causes more nausea, as if to connect beauty with the stench of this disgusting product.

At first i didn't like it, but the end was so good that it make me like it ,

Story
The story revolve around 2 women that met each other in some weird situation , the development of their relationship is quite fast and they end up in kind of a relationship without title,

Yoon-Joo ( 32 years old acting like a kid) she act like a virgin who never talk to people or even had any interact with them, more than that, it's like she born yesterday and kind of a social cripple.
So it's hard to august her introvert personality

She delusion herself that Jisoo like her but it's not the case, apperenatly Jisoo use her us a rebound and she only care what her father think and don't give a damn about Yoon-Joo

So she act to Yoon-Joo as nothing , using her just for sex,. while Yoon-Joo showing her love and affection and trying hard but she is so boring and dumb , every time she open her mouth and want to share what upon her hear Jisoo just make her shut up and ignore her feelings. so it's hard to watch.

To sum it up, it's like a first discovery of adulthood and your kind of Sexual identity, she is try to find herself through her difficulties in life,she don't find her self

so just at the end it's feel like she beginning to understand the pain about life, the role between them switch.
suddenly Yoon-Joo is the stronger and not wanting Jisoo anymore.

About the place of lesbian in the SK society , , it's influate on their relationship but i don't think its the main reason for the conflict between them, although it's have power,
first: it's the first Kmovie i watch with 2 women inlove, it's not so typical in general so in SK...even more, i guess it's very difficult for them to make this kind of a film,
second: there's characters that make them understand they are not welcome in their environment as if it a disease...so it's hard

Acting:
Great no fllows.

Music
there's no music , it's fit very well to the overall feeling

Rewatch Value
overall it's woth watching even twice to understand those conflict and the development of her personality

I waited for season 2.. don't know why, maybe that's because there's not so much Bl drama with average production. (usually it's bad ending or rediculous story)

The actors:
Krist is a great talnted actor, i like his acting he have skills , on the other hand Singto is immature actor that not convincing so much and he's character even less convinsing. so it was probably worse for him.

The chimistry between them was bad and the characters not realistic whats so ever, their relationship is a fiction, there was no affection or communiction like a normal human being. It's been 3 years since they started their relationship and still they are not comfortable with each other and not talking so much. even not hugging or something normal dialogs occurred.

The music:
Not to my taste like most of Thai dramas ost its banal , i don't know why all the ost in gmmtv sound the same.without connection.

The story
Boring and plain without emotions, they are in the office most of the time with no interaction between them , the characters around them also plain, it's almost like a long commercial

I try to watch this again ...but i just can't!

Best GMMTV drama ever

Best GMMTV drama ever, and one of the best dramas in general, it was perfect from the beginning until the end ,
I don't think I have watched such a perfect Thai drama ever, yes, there were couple of good dramas, but these was allsome, it was a journey and a process ,real,

Story 10/10
The story is not predictable, it is a journy of a soul, and developing a character, growth of a person inside and love and values, it is not cliche in any way , it is very "new" if we compare it to other Thai dramas.
It's completly about gays and go out of the closet, so you could say it's not even a standard bl but more a real gay drama.
Very exiting to watch how 2 people falling inlove and get out of the closet.


Cast 10/10


the actors are all amazing, and offcourse Khaotung Thanawat that is beyond amazing, he is Beyond any word, I really love this actor, it could be my one number Thai actor, there isn't a single moment I feel he is out of the character, he is always the character fully.
First is a great actor too, he too not easy role, and he made me cry a lot.


Music
I can not give a score to the music because usually I don't like Thai ost, but this time it was very nice and suitable to the plot, I don't think you need here a music to make you cry,
I liked they didn't use acapella for sad moments. I was very reliefed and it's helped me feel more, I hate thai acapellas,

Rewatch
It is something to remember, and something that stay with you for years, it's not some drama you just forgeting, that is one of the dramas that getting into your heart,

12 episodes was just the perfect lenght to a closer and it was not draggy or boring even for a second.

First movie were great, i was really touched by the inosence of the production and the two girls,
But second movie was really bad from the start to finish
1. the acting here is worse, in the first one you forgive couse they don't have to be sad ....but here when the girl need to be sad or show couple of emotions they can't deliver it in any way...
same facial look on all the scene it's all you get from them.

2. the old plot when ex girlfriend came and trying to plot against the new girl it's lame, but when couple not comunicate it's even more lame.,,,there are gaps and holes in the plot, no one talk to each other, it's going from one scene to a nother without any value.

3. When the ex girlfriend coming back she Hugs Mi le,she doesn't refuse her...why exactly? it's not clear, one hand she love her girlfriend...in other hand she goa round with the ex...not clear, not logic...something is really off

4. the end with the letter is killing it...if there was hope to this couple in the first episode, or to develope their relationship, here is suiside of the plot and the relationship, the letter is just unforgivable, it's just dumb way to finish the drama
just nonsence

5. it's a shame that the first episode gave hope and this second wash it all to drane, ....very sad, no hope...for what?! do you really think there is no hope? a lot of nonsence coming up in this drama...

A Real Gem

Story 8/10
Simple typical Kdrama story about a rich person (most of the time it's a guy) falling in love with a poor person ( most of the time it's a female but here is a guy) the "money conflict" ( I didn't find a better term to it but if you have an idea you are welcome to write me) emphasise in most of the episodes ( if not all in of them)

The rich handsom guy is an famous actor having a scandal (as a victim but being blamed)
The poor guy is a (almost) chef on a resturant owns by his so called (rich) "friend" (probably more like an ex lover- but this is only an hint on the story)

The fall inlove, and very fast developing a feelings on to another, but the poor guy afraid of because he is hurt from his ex leaving him, (only himted that it's the resturant owner, but we don't really see it as it left as an hole in the story)

And this is summing up the simple story

There is a Similarity to the charaters in "Where your eyes linger" drama with the same producer, (rich soft heart playful guy and the other is poor -strong, self controled guy)

Acting 10/10
All of the actors are great, But my favourites are: Son Woo Hyun (the main actor) and funny Jeon Jae Yeong ( the manager) that looks older than him but in real life all of them are younger than Son Woo Hyun.

Sn Woon H bring brightness in a very smooth way, he is very lovely, cheerful and straightforward person, but the way he delivering it look smooth, both of the main actors acting very good.

Music 7/10
The only drama iv'e watched that was with original ost that left in my mind and hears was in "coffee prince", just to compare original music and songs, here it's more a typical pop song, it's not bad at all, but it's not creative or heartfull songs.

Overall 9/10
The romantic scenes are really good, and they filmed very well, as Korean knows how to, its hearworming, I feel that it's different from other series because it's not having melodramatic ending like in "Where your Eyes Linger" and bring we watch them developing emotions to one another with a slow burning,

the down side that it's short and there are holes in the story that was rushed in the end, but the ending is perfect. another thing is the trop of beakup and return ( the poor guy break up so he would not be hurt and than they coming back together ) and this left to the end, instead of brining more happy couple moments in the last episode, it could have been saved one or 2 episodes for nothing.

Rewatch value
(I already watched it couple of time so it's 10/10)

Same old Jazz

*Introduction*
South korean are master of productions, in tv drama land they are lack of soul and meaning,
that is why kdrama never reveal the truth in any story, it's only a formula without a soul or a real human beings behind it.
, in streight drama you have 16 episode, (here you get 8 episodes because it's "gay drama") the story line is repetative : first hate than confuse and at the end confession and a kiss.

*Story*
A poor boy called Gook , hired as a bodyguard for Han Tae Joo , they are " friends "15 years.
Han Tae Joo father is a mafia leader, (presented as a "family business ceo " and "strict parents" at vikii "about" and it's very interesting ...why they not writing "mafia",and criminals?!

They have attraction between tham and we don't really know if the are gay or not, if they love each other or not. this last until episode 6 when Han Tae Joo confess. but ! Gook that loves him all a long attack him instead of confessing too about his love. it's only happned suddenly in episode 7, but he isn't confess to Han Tae Joo, he confess to a girl instead. there are also playing in martial art so they have some interaction with each other, they are sleeping together in the same bed and also Gook washing HTJ onces and get those feelings of attractions
and yet..

With all that attraction and touching and sleeping in the same bed!!! they are not in physical relationship, they not confessing and they are not revealing their mind. they are very "strong." "superhumans"

So we have here lack of comunication, but we have something really really important.
we so called human beings without real emotions and desires.

Episode 6 is the proove that it's all fake. episodes 7&8 we can clearly watch the formula. the mafia peresnt sending his son to UK, after 3 years he cam back to sk and have a small kiss with Gook and without any future in sight.

Overall conclusions from the drama:
1. They are porotrait as superhumans, lacking of emotions and desires, the road to be real is not insight, they need to suffer until they get love or find love.
2. The violence is part of the journey, if you getting near you get some panch, you don't talk, you fight
3. For being gay you need to suffer, it's not natural, you need to go through stage when you can admit your feelings and suppress them until you can't anymore. this is save for the last moment.
4.You can't get real happy couple scenes

The first episodes was repeating from the start of the first season, it was boring and i didn't stop compering the production and the actors. i like the first season a lot more even if the cast in second season having more acting skills. the first season was exiting and somehow "pure" like you feel it's amateur and even like student film and i like this because there are not element of commercial or "Financial considerations" they thought more about the freshness and first impression, but in the second season they think more about the rating and gaining.

the cast was ok, but i only like Joong as he was the only convincing actor and Phoom as he is star by default...he is hot to die for.
so the main couple was so boring , most of the episodes you can watch at 1.25X speed because it's so slow, the dialog are slow. until the react to each other. it's not natural.

in the first season i forgive on this slow speed because the actors was fit to the role and cute , but here it was in force and annoying.

the last episode was ok but the ending with the main couple i just skipped it was very very boring, they are not convincing they are not fit to the characters at all, especially Ben as Phana. the previous actor was Gods and he were snob, tall and handsome, but here Phana was kind and short, it didn't fit to the character and just made it boring as hell.


Kt&Ming were the best couple they were cute but still...Kit was too stiff it was sometimes frustrating, the previews was more emotional and show more anger, this Actor Nine annoys me a lot, first he was to stiff and not convincing and also as a person i watched him how he act in front of Joong and i didn't like the snobbish acting.

Forth and Beam couple was ok...just because Phoom is really really star material, hot hot it's burn, and they used him a lot on that matter, for example he took his shirt off couple of times, for the thirsty fans. i pity him a lot because they use this poor young guy. the Beam was boring ...

i think it's one time flick that make you enjoy the moment when you are bored but if you have something else better...so go for it.

Ho! what a disaster!

Episode 1 were exiting, funny and cute, just adorable,
The actor Kokoy was promesing, the old music , the colors, all the editing, was really cool, remind me of those old comedies

I have watched the rest of the episodes only today , 2- 6 short but seems like forever!!!
From a comedy it turn to be a mellodrama, the same old american plot we are so tierd from it and no one watching in anymore and it is fail in the theaters,

The actor Alex is only a shell, What he have to offer except his muscles!? nothing!
if it was a pure comedy it is ok, like those Adam sendler comedies movies, that the actors doesn't know how to play and it is so stupid you forgive them, but is wasn't

At the last episode it was too much in so many ways, Alex didn't seems to be sad , and the forgivness of the sister didn't make any sence, and after all of this betrail and cheating Mando and his bad brother were together?! what an aweful ending,

The only thing that is good in this Was Kokoy, nothing else.

The best of this series

There are couple of dramas in that series, but for my opinion this is the best (and that is why i only review that one)
first both of the actors playing are really cute, a lone and together, they have a good chemistry, although i rellay think they can also pull it off with others too.
the one that playing the twins is adorable, there is something about him, he is charming
and although both of them not so good actors for a beginners they are ok. we forgive them.

There is no story really in this one, it's an odd plot that doesn't make any sence, the subtitles are the worse iv'e seen, i also skiped a lot of the fb group chats, i didn't understand all the mean friends he had there, it's make no sence to have those crule friends...

The acting like i wrote alreay are bad...but better than the other couples of before.

It's nice to pass the time, have a good vibe, and cute...overall i can even watch it again if i skip the boring parts.

This was one of my first Kdrama, and it's a gay drama in disguise, read my review to understand why!

Cast: 10
The cast is just perfect, they act natural, every one of them fit to their roles! i think the main actress discovered, and she was so so lucky! and we are also lucky by that!, she was a star shining in this drama, you can't even think how perfect she was there because no one can replace and reach to the level of cuteness she where, first- she was a real real tom boy, her act was natural, she was born for this role. i love her so much!!! but only in this drama, why? because after it she became so sad you can't even imagen!!!
this role was so huge that she made it international and than get into so much troubless because she was maybe too naive or sensitive i guess, someone just want her to fall, she couldn't cope, she became a sad person, it's also making me sad because i loved her so much , she like die inside, the light of her heart is just turn off, if you watch her dramas afterword you will understand, she was so huge star that someone just want her to get hurt and rip off her smile and cuteness, every time i think about her i get sad,


Story- 9
Originality not by the plot but the script, the dialogs, very emotional, natural, real!!!\
You know why it's epic?
After this drama nothing came out in this level. nothing!!! it became a desert!
because it's so care free and natural like a glance to their real world and struggles and love so that you feel it's real, and this story almost could happend to anyone, even you, this is the level of this cute drama,
so you feel in love, and you want to hug the charecters and be with them so much.
You can't see this anymore

cons:
the only con i have about this drama (and this is why i gave it 9.5 and not 10)
it's to my opinion was a libiration of the LGBT community, call them to come forward and give them some little joy in their gloomy LGBT community in korea
its gay drama, this is only my thought!!!

the conflict in the drama about being gay it's huge , everything is around this idea, so they take a spin on it and made her a woman dress like a man, but the struggle that someone found out he is gay and need to cope with this - cover up later- so if you are gay it's ok because she is a woman

what i like about this is that they light this idea of struggle and show how hard it is and there's no bounderies of love...
but still at the end they cover up...


Music 10
i swaer this k unforgetiable ost, i'm crying from thinking about how real music was there...it was so srong because it's like they take young artists and gave them a stage, it's not the usuall kpop, it was more rock and indie, so it was so so great and epic that since then nothing !!! again...no bands in those kdrama, no more!!!
those indie band was the corner of the corner in SK, they are srtist you just don't hear in the dramas..and also it's again one of the pain that they are going thtough, by not giving them a voice any more,

You will watch it 50-100 times a gain because there's nothin else!!!

point for deep thinking:

Every time frank go on screen the screen shine , this guy is one of the most Thai stunning actors...just devistating...i wish to watch him again in another drama with new man
to tell the truth i like all the actors...(except gun...) but i really like all of them,

story:
bl drama...very cliche, more as a kdrama, fluffy, romantic, mostly empty plot with empty emotions, fake as can be
Tine meet fighter want to pretend they are couple so he can get rid of green ...the plot is ok i guess...it doesn't need to be complicated to be intresting,

acting:
tine is ok, the rest is ok , gun&nannaa are really bad, can't stand them both, Bright is gourgace but no acting skills...he is good more as a model and singer

music
better than other bl dramas


point for deep thinking:
this drama is one of those that want to use the gays community for pure profit , to ride on their back and enjoy it while not giving back nothing in return. it's a Cynical use in those poor people that want to live like everyone but feel different, they are using gays to make money,
how much they can stretch their bad intentions...1 year? 2? it's already been 6 years if i am not mistaken since this wave of bl began.

overall
its started ok, than cute,THAN RELLAY CUTE AND NEAR THE END: DISASTER...the side couples were better and cuter until the end.

Jdramareally are high quality, this is one of those you can't easely forget and even want to watch again in the future/

Story 10/10
the story very interesting even if it's not something new...the way they made it was wonderful
it's a story about 15 teen who fall in love with his sensei...the gap age to my opinion is not so big , because there in Japane there are very young teacher. so i think she is 21-22 years old when she start teaching, she look also very young
They fall inlove and to love theres no bonderies, it feels the story really streching the limit as we know it today with all the rulls and politcly corect people star to lose sence of love, this one make you belive that love exist again

it's not so easy to convey people today that real love like this not a feiry tail but i think they did here great job to make you feel it's there/

ACting 9/10
The main actor is just superb
The real down to this drama and that is why 9 of 10 , because the actress... she realy realy don't know how to convince with her pale acting esspecially infront of this superb actor when he is even just dubate and begginer..it's very strange and there are scenes that it's upsetting because it could be so much better
especialy the parts when they kiss and when she cry or need to be sad or pasionet...she just can't


Music 9/10
The piano in the background are nostalgic and i love it it's fit to the all old fashion style of the drama . it's like vintage style and uselly this is how Japanese produce...like the 80's and the music is from the 80's but the ending song i like less i feel sometimes it's not strong enough with this strong plot and the great actor. and producing and sudenly the main song is pale.

There are couple of cons:
1. the main actress
2. the main song
3. the mother...i think they could make her more human but she look wicked and mad.. maybe it's the actress acting and not what the producer want really, it's seems not so relate to the plot because they are all human there's no bad and good in this drama and suddenly there this mother that act like evil, it's very strange
4. the plots have holes
first the relationshop between the teacher and student is little weak...we didn't watch how they develope their relationship other hole is the conection between the father and son...it's too fast to understand what is ha.ppening to them after they didn't meet 13 years and sudenly they hug it's ok?! strange.
5. it's rushed a lot...i think they can strech it more
6 the classmate...also the girl friend classmate very annoying very
7 all the classmate are pale without any loyalty of real relationship...it's feel like acting the characters are flat.
8. i think what is the main reasone is the actress acting also in the kiss scenes...its' just ruined the entire drama for me, she don't look in love...or sad it's can drive you crasy because the actor is so loveable and do good job and she is numb

overall it's my second jdrama i love this year, very good . for the best you can watch my other reviews

Boring and Stupid

Story

The beginning of the series was cute and had some skip-a-beat moments, but from episodes 5, it started to deteriorate in a ridiculous way. It became too silly, dragged on, and ventured into boring territories. FL was supposed to realize that it was no longer the hologram in front of her, indicating a complete disregard for human instinct and senses.


Acting

There is chemistry between them and the lead actor does a great job, you can really feel the differences between the two characters he portrays, but it's not enough.
The lead actress is extraordinarily annoying; her acting is bland, her facial expressions are identical in all scenes, and she looks like a child dressed as a businesswoman.

General

The series drags on unnecessarily. It could have been much more interesting considering that we are in a real revolution of artificial intelligence, but the series is truly an insult to viewers who already know what they are facing.

It started very frighteningly because it shows how this technology is beginning to materialize and the conduct involved (for example, regularly peeking into another person's life, invading their soul and emotions, emotional manipulation, guidance from the AI to manipulate others to achieve goals, the AI's insistence on being independent, and manipulating the person who created it and gave it the freedom to act; many things that could materialize in the worst possible way).

The main character creating the AI is also intolerable due to his lack of fairness. If it had been for a short time, it might have been bearable, but it goes on and on without any guilt, and he doesn't really seem like someone capable of representing the creation of a AI. He doesn't look smart, doesn't act smart, and isn't practical in representing one of the creators of existing AI. Usually, these are people with certain human abilities, not someone who avoids being human. It makes you really detest the character. I suppose if it were a funny comedy, the stupidity could be forgiven, but unfortunately, this is not the case.

There is no chemistry between the lead actors; this isn't the first series of his that I've watched. I don't know if it's his acting in general, but romance isn't his strong suit. He's unconvincing and seems clueless about how to portray love in his performance.

Beyond the couple's scenes, most of the scenes are really boring, lacking spirit. The plot is dull, but so are the supporting characters and everything else.

There was one beautiful scene of his confession and forgiveness towards her, but it didn't take off in the end and just fizzled out.

The filming space for the entire series is cramped. The apartment is small, and it continuously shifts between boxes and faces closeup, which is unconvincing and even creates a sense of frustration.
Progresses slowly and in an unsatisfactory manner without any excitement or emotion.

The ending is also frustrating in an unusual way, making you wonder why you watched this series in the first place. It's drama over nothing.
