a hidden gem

This one was an unexpected gem.
I never heard about it before, it suddenly appeared on my Viki ‚new release‘ list and then I got curious & how happy I‘m that I really give it a try because it became one of my favorite dramas this year so far.

Sure some Episodes lagged and I also did not like all of the actors acting (I‘m looking at the actor playing Fah) but they give their best, for many this was their first acting job they all were surprisingly good, especially the actor of Vee impressed me, hopefully we‘ll see him in many more projects in the future!

They show had three couples and at the beginning they all had quite good divided air time but later on the third couple was a bit moved to side, that was a bit sad. Also I liked the friendships we had, especially the basketball team.

Fah & Torn - the main couple, they were cute at the beginning, nothing special and as mentioned before I wasn‘t big fan of the actor playing Fah but I really liked Torn. Some things happened in the later Episodes which made me dislike Fah for a bit and I really hoped for them to break up. But in the end I‘m okay with how they ending this couple. But I do think their story was a bit too weak to be the main leads.

Aii & Saen - CUTE. That is the perfect word for these two. Loved them from the beginning, until the end. I could sympathize with their worries and thoughts.

Dome & Vee - the chemistry was so powerful in the first few Episodes, unfortunately there scenes decreased in the later Episodes and also because of the (necessary) time skips we missed some important scenes for them (the breakup between Pan & Dome and Vee dealing with his panic attack) Vee was my favorite character in the whole show and my heart felt heavy for him most of the drama. Wrong time, wrong place, right person - this described Dome & Vee the best. I‘m a bit disappointed with how the show ending the story of these two. And I do hope for a Spin-Off.

Also to mention I never disliked Pan, she also went through a lot & always was their to support her brother. She isn‘t at fault in any way, if we need someone to be at fault it was Dome & Vee themself.

Overall a really good drama which unfortunately is totally underrated. I wished more people would watch it. And if after the 1st Episode (which is the weakest of the whole drama) think it‘s nothing for you, stay, it‘s worth it, really ❤️

very sweet mini series

I started this drama without knowing anything about it and I'm so glad I did it because I loved every second of it, yes the plot is very simple and predictable but the cast made it to a heartwarming and very sweet love story.
I feel in love with the FL immediately, Takada Kaho plays her role perfectly! I love how independent and confident in her job Rinko is. Her expressions throughout the series were great and really entertaining. She is just a really loveable character.
Overall both main leads did a fabulous job. The romance between them was pretty sweet and they had many lovable moments and most importantly they had a great chemistry.
The whole cast did a great job, all of them made it to an fun and enjoyable journey. If you want something to watch in between some heavy dramas or just search for an easy watch I highly recommend "Rinko-san wa Shite Mitai"

contract marriage - frustrating most of the time with some sweet scenes in between

This drama was at time so heartbreaking and frustrating. It‘s a ‚marriage contract‘ story that first breaks our heart into millions of pieces before we finally get our happy ending for the main leads.

Akiha is a very sweet and warm-hearted character, I loved her a lot. Sure she was a bit naive at time but that was just one of her many charms in my opinion.

With Momose I had my hard time throughout most of the Drama. The only good thing about him at first was that he was good-looking. But he did gets more likable in the later episodes even he still is weird hahah

There fake marriage was at times really hard to watch because of Momose‘s cluelessness, stupidity and ignorance. I really wondered why Akiha felt in love with him.. It also didn‘t help that she fell in love with him so quickly into the drama. So you had to see her trying to deny her feelings ore trying to make Momose fall for her in so many Episodes.

But the Drama had some really funny and also cute moments so overall I still enjoyed it. I won't rewatch it ever but I‘m glad to have seen it.

cute but nothing special

my rating for each Episode:
1. Would you be my love - 8.5/10
2. Rhythm‘s Heart - 7/10
3. Remember - 6.5/10
4. Once Upon a time - 9/10
5. Breakup Zone - 7/10
6. VS Love - 8/10
7. 50% My Puppy Love - 7.5/10

I might re-watch Episode 1 & 4 because they were my favorite but other then that I don‘t think I‘ll watch them again. I found the idea of the series cute & a good way to introduce rookie actors/actresses but I would have loved it more if the stories were a bit more connected. I also found it really sad that we didn‘t see any of the couples in one of the other Episodes..

Liked it but not Loved it

It did like this drama but I didn't love it. I started watching it because of Nanon, he is one of my favorite Thai Actors and for that I wanted to watch this one too. I don't usually like school dramas with bullying and so I had a hard time at the beginning but after our Main leads became friends and stood up for themselves I started to like it more.
My favorite characteres of the show are Sun & Ainam but I also really liked Oh. I had my problems with Peach and also In even though I started to understand him a bit more later on. I hated Copper and his gang.
Which keeped me going on this drama was for sure the growing friendsship, how I wished I had such supportive friends when I was still at school. Also loved when Oh came accors the Bikers, these were also some of my favorite scenes.
I was fine with the ending, espcially like the scene were Sun & In talked it out in the shopping center, that was really cute. I just felt sad that Ainam didn't get anyone at the end, I wished she would also found someone.
I might re-watch some of my favorite scene but don't think I'll rewatch the whole drama.

it started okay but the ending ruined everything

Honestly it started okay, it never was a masterpiece but it was watchable. You clearly can tell the the budget was not a lot but that didn't bother me because I was surprised enough of getting a BL from China in the first place so I expected that the budget would be really limited.

I liked the first Episode and until the last Episodes I would have gave it 7/10 but then the last Episode came and I really thought in 2022 we are finally done with those "forced scenes" in the BL industry but I guess we aren't, this scene was so unnecessary and totally ruined the Drama for me.

And then the actual ending.. that does not feel like an ending?! I mean do they plan to make a second season? idk but for me the story doesn't really seem complete.

The acting was okay, they did the best they could in my opinion. I did not like the acting from some supporting cast but the main leads were okay.

Would I recommend someone watching that Drama? No, not really, in the end it was a waste of time really.
