The theme is quite interesting actually, but again Korean BL always seems “rushed”. They always tried to restricted the conflicts and resolved them so quickly. Whereas if it is developed more deeply, this series has great potential to be something special.

Seeing those three BL actors from 3 different series, made my brain always associate to evey one of them with their respective series (before this)

Apart from that, this series is still worth watching and finishing in a short amount of time. That was a good idea, isn't it?

In Indonesian:
Cukup menarik sebenarnya tema yang diangkat, tapi lagi-lagi BL korea selalu terkesan buru-buru. Sampai-sampai konflik yang diangkatpun diselesaikan begitu cepat. Padahal jika dikembangkan lebih dalam, series ini punya potensi yang bagus untuk bisa jadi sesuatu yang istimewa.

Melihat ketiga aktor BL dari 3 series yang berbeda, membuat otakku selalu mengaitkan satu dengan yang lainnya terhadap series mereka masing-masing (sebelumnya)

Diluar dari hal itu, series ini masih layak untuk ditonton dan diselesaikan dalam satu waktu yang cepat. That was a good idea, isn’t it?

It is quite rare for a series to tells about "mental disorders", especially related to eating behavior, so I give this series quite high points from the story side.

Performances of some actors actually weren’t exactly bad, it's just that some characters are quite ruined the "scenery" every times they’re appear.

Honestly, I like the tune in each episode, even without the lyrics but the piano chime sounds quite romantic to me lol

but ... what a bastard!!! I have to guess about the conversations between the characters, especially in each part 1 per episode. And getting worse in the last 2 episodes. Please fix the subtitles!!

In Indonesian:
Cukup jarang series yang ngebahas soal “gangguan mental” terutama terkait perilaku makan, oleh sebab itu saya memberikan poin cukup tinggi terhadap series ini dari sisi story.

Aktingnya sebenarnya tidak bisa dibilang jelek, hanya saja beberapa karakter cukup mengganggu “pemandangan” acap kali dia muncul.

Jujur saja saya suka dengan alunan nada ditiap episodenya, walaupun tanpa lirik akan tetapi dentingan piano yang terdengar cukup romantis bagi saya lol

tapi... bajingan sekali memang dari sisi subtitle, saya harus menebak kira-kira percakapan antara tokoh terutama ditiap part 1 per episodenya. Dan diperparah dengan 2 episode terakhir. Bangsaaat!

The first Korean series of this year that managed to make me burst into tears, at least in one episode.

A different story from Korean, coupled with the acting of all actors were also extraordinary is the main advantages of this series.

Another thing that I like of this series is they’re not “wordy” to extend the duration like we often found in other dramas (especially from South Korea).

And last... The classical music along the way added to the emotional side of this series so that I didn't realize made my tears fall down.

In Indonesian:
Serial korea pertama tahun ini yang berhasil membuatku menangis tersedu-sedu, setidaknya dalam satu episode.

Cerita yang berbeda dari drama korea lainnya, ditambah dengan akting para pemain yang juga luar biasa menjadi kelebihan utama dalam series ini.

Hal lain yang saya suka adalah, series ini tidak bertele-tele hanya untuk memperpanjang durasi layaknya yang sering kita temukan pada drama lainnya (especially from south korea).

Alunan musik klasik sepanjang perjalanan menambah sisi emosional series ini hingga tak sadar membuat airmata saya turun dengan sendirinya.

Even though it is not a new theme in the television cinemas, but the whole plot went up interestingly so that this series is able to be followed until the end.

A qualified saint's performance with all his charms is a plus of this series

However, many annoying characters that really don't need to exist and with a really bad acting were the two negative things that unforgivable.

In Indonesian:
Meskipun bukan tema baru didunia pertelevisian, akan tetapi plot yang dibuat menarik membuat serial ini mampu diikuti hingga akhir.

Akting saint yang mumpuni dengan segala pesonanya, menjadi nilai tambah untuk serial ini.

Hanya saja, banyak karakter mengganggu yang sebenarnya tidak perlu ada dan dengan akting yang buruk menjadi dua hal negatif sepanjang saya menonton series ini.

This repeated theme in the BL series made me think twice to trying watch it at the beginning, But somehow I dared to taste the first three episodes and turned out I quite liked it.

Apart from stale themes, a plot that didn’t focus and (almost) all of performances that looks stif were another weakness of this series.

However, the adorable players with full of easy listening soundtracks made me enjoy this series until I realized I had arrived at the end of first season.

In Indonesian:
Tema yang berulang-ulang di BL series ini membuat saya mikir untuk menontonnya diawal-awal episode, sampai akhirnya memberanikan diri untuk mencicipi tiga episode pertama dan ternyata saya menyukainya.

Selain tema yang basi, plot yang tidak fokus dengan akting yang nampak masih kaku merupakan hal lain yang menjadi kelemahan dari series ini.

Namun, para pemain yang menggemaskan dengan lagu-lagu yang enak didengar membuat saya menikmati series ini hingga saya sadari saya sudah sampai dpenghujung musim satu.

I should admit that this series is a fresh like a brand new fu**ing one! I do love the idea even though I wasn’t sure that I would find a fond of this typical series.

Basically, I am not into action especially the one that tells story about the mob versus police, it always kinda boring and usually made my mood down easily but this one succeeded brake my wall eventually.

If we compared to “Make Our Days Count”, honestly I don’t have any idea which one that I love the most. Because between these two, the have their own specialties that made the choices hard for me.

Now, I can continue watching my 2021 series. But I think I’m gonna sleep first. ?

Even though from the start there was no love at all for this series, in fact I was confused about why this series got a higher rating than Right or Wrong.

But as time went by I realized, many conflicts from this series have a superior quality than the previous one.

Xiang Hao and Yu Xi's character development was truly extraordinary, let alone A-Hao. To be honest I cried out loud during the last episode. This series made me realize that sadness doesn't have to be portrayed clearly. It turned out that it was saved at the end of the time to make this series like a bomb, which devastated the people who watching it.

For sure, this series would be on the list as my favorite BL series of all time.

Ugh...

I think this is the best of History1, from the story that amazed me a lot to the plot that wonderfully presented.

So many quotes that I got from this series make me wonder how great the script was. Even the twist at the end of this series affect me in a huge way. I don’t even guessed that their story would end beautifully, hence I thought something sad would come eventually.

Now I am thinking about another History franchise that have higher rating than this one. However, I think I shouldn’t have high expectations yet before I watched another shows coming.

I thought this show could be my number 1 series of 2021, unfortunately it failed sending every satisfaction moments after episode 3. I didn't say it was bad, I wouldn't dare to do so! I really want to feel any love that I felt like the first one.

I actually wondering why I felt this way, but the most reasonable answer is I putted an expectation with a huge number of this series. I fell in love with their story in the first place, but somehow I have been thinking that this show could be better than it was.

Or maybe, they just left us many questions to be answered in the next season?

For any genre of Korean dramas, I don't need to use my logic, if I insisted to forced my mind about the story that showed then I won't be able to enjoy this series. Thorough the series I was confusing about the relationship between two main characters of this series, is it really possible that this could happen in South Korea? because in Indonesia this kind of is really impossible to be accepted by common sense.

Fortunately, the performances of those two actors were more than mediocre to convinced me that this series was believable.

However, I still feel a lil bit unsatisfied about some stories that should be presented are thrown away and seem like they want to be finished as quickly as possible.

In Indonesian:
Kalau sudah nonton drama korea memang tidak perlu pakai logika, mau dipaksa kayak apapun tidak akan bisa masuk. Saya sendiri sampai bingung tentang hubungan kedua karakter utama serial ini, apakah memang mungkin hal tersebut bisa terjadi di korea ? karena kalau di Indonesia hal seperti itu mustahil untuk bisa diterima akal sehat.

Namun, untung saja akting kedua aktor cukup mumpuni untuk bisa meyakinkan saya bahwa serial ini masih bisa ditonton hingga akhir.

Tetapi sayang sekali beberapa cerita yang sepatutnya bisa diangkat, malah dibuang dan terkesan seperti ingin segera diselesaikan secepat mungkin.

No matter how hard I tried to hate this series, turn out I still gave a huge rating :(

Some illogical reasons that made me mutter in my head (and hearts?), making this series should be able to get higher points than this.

Phuwin and Pond's acting were really good, unfortunately it's not supported by the scripts.

In addition, this series is helped by the strong character of Mork who always made me blush. And also the love beans song which is very "Ear Catching" makes this show become one of the series that has a wonderful soundtrack of this year.

The first episodes that made me cry successfully, didn't really satisfy me as a whole. Usually I like this kind of story, a BL story wrapped in a fiction and has a fairly deep theme (traumatize). But as the show going, it seems like "stagnant" and makes me feel crying for no reason.

How many episodes did I cry? I don't even remember, for sure more than 3 episodes of this series succeed make me shed my tears. But yeah, that's enough. There were a lot of ambiguity that makes me unable to give more stars to this series. I like seeing them together, I fell in love with their acting but I felt the story revolved around the place with a lack of elaboration of the conflict seems to be the weak point of this series.

My 2nd favorite BL series of 2022 so far!

Earlier this year, I expected more from KeixYaku that has a similar story, but Thailand packs it more adorable and of course many surprises. Stories about 2 different mafias, or between two opposite professions (such as police vs mafia) are the mainstay themes that I always look forward to every year.

KinnPorsche "only" tells about the romance between the Boss and his Body Guard, as we’ve seen in Golden Blood. However, these two series from the same country have very opposite qualities (like a huge gap). When I first watched KinnPorsche, I actually had my doubts, considering that a lot of people had predicted this series since the beginning of the pandemic. Of course my concerns are justified, remembering what happened with TarnType 2 back in 2020.

But again KinnPorsche offers a breath of fresh air. With an unusual story flavor coupled with a side couples were able to get more attention (at least mine). And the finale episode made my emotions go up and down, although in the end this series was able to make me smile widely until the last second.

The problem is, I feel like this series hasn’t finished yet. Many secrets still being uncovered, especially the riddles of Mr. Korn and (of course) his (big) family. Plus the love stories of Kim-Porschay and Vegas-Pete which made me hanging. I need another season!!!! ???

The theme about Mr/Mrs Unlucky is not a new one, it already exists in several series or even films, but this is the first time I’ve found this kind in the BL series. (I apologize if I missed something lol) ?

With the mental readiness to watch this series one by one every episode, I almost completely fell in love with this series. No doubt this series has a vibe that reminds me of My Love Mixed up, which is fun-hilarious-funny and (of course) silly.

Japanese series always make me smile every time I watch them, this one is deserves more stars actually ?

In Indonesian:
Rasanya tema tentang Mr/Mrs Unlucky sudah ada dalam beberapa series atau film, namun baru kali ini saya nemu dibawakan dalam tema BL. (maaf kalo saya ada yang ketinggalan lol)

Dengan kesiapan mental menonton series ini satu persatu setiap episodenya, saya hampir sepenuhnya jatuh cinta sama series ini. Tak ayal series ini vibenya mengingatkanku sama My Love Mixed up, yakni fun-hilarious-funny and (of course) silly.

Japanese series selalu buat saya sumringah setiap habis menontonnya!
