The age gap can't beat the younger lead's true feelings

All characters didn't have an evil side within them. Their sincerity from the very start is as clear as the sky. No wonder that I haven't felt an anger towards them despite their desperate actions in every sense. This is my first time to support a happy ending of main leads in a series. The unrequited love breaks down the wall that surrounds his loved one. This may not be the best of all series but I really appreciate it for showing the results of a genuine feeling. Good karma really comes to those who deserve it.

Nishigaki Sho (Shin) is the prettiest actor I've seen in my whole life. His acting delivers an angelic and pure portrayal of his role. Contrary to him, Kusakawa Takuya (Akira) portrays well his role as a near 30-yr old man who struggles to express his real emotions inside bravely. The mixture of their characters really did harmonize perfectly and turn into a fluffy and lovely relationship (not intimately tho).

Cute. Lovely. Watchable.

Almost perfect but.....

Pushing BL in this series was never a good choice in my opinion. Most of the supernatural-mystery BL dramas that I have watched are very unique and interesting. They also come out as one of my favorites (you can check the list of BL dramas in my profile for your reference). In this series, those genres really stood out fantastically but failed to win my favor due to cringey comedy, snooze-fest school-related plots and irrelevant main-lead romance. Although I guessed correctly most of the mystery plots, but the plots are well-executed and almost flawless. The entire late-half of the series (except the last 10 minutes of episode 12) is very remarkable and above decent.

Truthfully, the main leads could've been the best of bestfriends in the entire 'drama world', not as love interests to each other. I tried to feel the love affection but I can't. Prince-Praifah is much more emotionally bearable.

In the end, I could still say this series is pretty watchable. Worth my time.

SPARKLING CHEMISTRY OF MAIN LEADS (w/ a speck of undetailed spoiler)

I was driving along with the straight storyline and doing alright under the clear night sky full of stars, but not until I was about to reach the climax. I was staring to these two twinkling stars. I didn't expect the road to take a left turn and I fall off the cliff. I managed to survive in the end though.

These two stars named Dunk (as Nuea) and Joong (as Kluen) shined so brightly. They are one of the main leads of a BL series that has great chemistry. Dunk, who looks like your average-looking actor, caught me off-guard with his charming smiles. And together with Joong, who speaks to me with his glittery eyes, made me finish the episodes 7 and 8.

What I find messy in this entire series is the misplacement of all Kluen's flashback (except the sunflower pot). They could have done the same thing to Kluen's flashback as what they did to Nuea's flashback. I lost interest in his past while he's telling Nuea about it. Also to mention Gia's BF problem and Nuea-Typhoon's relationship, who in their right mind would choose those in the climax? I mean those topics are great but they unwisely picked the worst scenarios and scripts ever. Nonetheless, the early and mid-episodes are above decent for sure with little and ignorable issues.

It could've been a must-watched series. (sigh) Never mind, I still enjoy this series. I like Dunk-Joong as main leads.

The whole storyline is just a plot of other series.

This series was released in 2022 but every aspect falls below the average. The normalcy of the storyline could've made this a better series if the script and settings are on-point. The inconsistency of emotional dialogues and music is what this series failed to overcome. This is just a two-hour entire series but the whole team behind wasted its potential.

The main leads exude pretty features but their chemistry is literally off. Their acting may not be as epic as the professional actors, but they portrayed their roles well.

Just happened to watch this since this series is short. I can say that this is not a must-watch.

(Suggested overall rating is 6/10 but I will rate this a little bit higher since it stays the lane with my other 6.5/10-rated series)

The very definition of typical romance drama

I have many negative opinions to say about this series but I have to put less since I like Yihwa and Prae a lot.

Let me list down below some of the annoying things in this series:

1. The plots are not unique. Everything that I've seen is already in the dozens of dramas I've watched before.
2. The relationship between main characters isn't interesting. They are only good in bed, nothing else.
3. It is a big NO-NO for me in making the existence of Bright-Farm. I didn't like how Farm ended to be like that (NO SPOILER).
4. Improper length of scenes. Some scenes have long boring dialogues. When scenes got interesting, how can they be short?
5. Unrealistic scenes. If you are planning to watch this, you'll see. Let me give you an example: How can you take a high quality of picture when you're too far, but when you are taking a picture a meter or two away, the persons in the picture cannot be recognized? WTF.

Moving back to Yihwa and Prae, they got me laughed so hard. Their acting really fit on the personalities of their roles. I almost dropped this at episode 4 but then this baddest, truest and wittiest friend named Yihwa is so entertaining that I have to finish this. I have to mention that I don't want a Prae in real life who falls easily in every attractive man she encounters. But her acting is really really cute.

This is quite watchable BUT with a lot of skips.

My anger issues are back!

Most of the main characters (except Rain and Manow) have these personalities that I really hate. Those personalities (hot-tempered, liar, accuser, troublemaker, lover stealer) gang up against me. No wonder I was irritated on the half of the screentime. I'm not saying this in a negative way since their family/background/relationship situations have made them like that. Their personalities played an important role in making this a solid storyline which I love. At least, we see their character development until the end. (I need a Sandee who will advice me in my life and I don't want to be a Mork for a not-deserving Sun)

As what I researched after watching, this is a sequel of Kiss and Kiss Me Again. I don't mind skipping those since all information that I needed is shown since the first episode. All characters who pop out are given a justifiable and well-thought scene.

What a great cast! They did a fantastic portrayal of each role. I love how every toxic character got me on my nerves. Their supposed acting to annoy/anger me really shows how amazing their acting is. I love the chemistry of all couples too.

A watchable series!

(PS: Why would they make a title like this???? How is it related to the entire series???)

Very Light Romance Yet Heartfelt Life Reflections

Realization slapped me so hard while watching this five-episode series. I watched this without being mentally prepared. I may not give this an emotional 100% appraisal for their romance since I was too focused by their situation as a near 30 and 40s aged men. Living life without new challenges only begets a stale life. Everyone wants a Togawa that could bring the light to life.

The story focused on the two main characters. All supporting characters made their justifying roles for a 2-hour entire series. This series doesn't give any side stories which I really want for a short-length series.

A must-watch for viewers who want a share of slice of life.

Who wouldn't want a magic?

What just happened? I was mesmerized by the storyline entirely. It felt like they know from the start that I will be playing on the palm of their hands. Every emotion is uncontrollable. The undeniable chemistry added with dozens of humor potion and a spoonful of sugary sweetness left me hypnotized. The flow of dialogue is consistent. Each line of the characters is well-thought for the 20-minute episodes. The only things I skipped are the episode preview, intro and outro.

I must say that the side story of Tsuge-Minato is pretty average. Should've been a different scenario. Also, Tsuge-Minato's acting and chemistry started great but ended monotonously.

This is a MUST-WATCH for sure. Don't waste your time. Watch this and be entertained by their funny moments. I was smiling most of the time while watching this. I laughed too and teared up a little bit.

Doesn't need a kissing scene to make a romantic story

The funny misunderstandings led to a light yet romantic relationship. The contrast between the main characters' personality really mixed up well into a harmonious chemistry. It just shows how exemplary the writer who polished the storyline. Majority of the scenes is humorous which I am proudly like about this series. Being a 10-episode series with more than 20 minutes in length each is also one of the highlights. I would definitely be re-watching this when I need to de-stress.

A must-watch for watchers who wants to laugh and have a good time.

(PS: Stay alert to the funny Aoki-Hashimoto duo! Hahaha)

EDIT: I re-watched it and now it deserves an upgrade from 8.5 to 9.

EPIC STORYLINE EMERGENCY ALERT! CALL 911!

This series has one of the most interesting storylines ever. I noticed that most of my top-rated dramas are related to time (present-to-past). The intriguing factor in this series that paid my attention is that how the time looping develops the relationship of the characters. Only one thing that pissed me off in this is the final plots in Episode 13 are somehow rushed.

Emergency room setting is very fantastic. The actors made a proficient portrayal in the medicine practice. Everything is great but never the gun/kidnap scenes. Everyone looks lousy when it is supposed to be nerve-wracking.

I haven't noticed the music they used. Maybe, there's none at all?

Must-watch! Highly recommendable! This series is full of funny moments, joy, sadness, annoyance to the antagonists, and most of all, love.

(Overall suggested rating is 8/10 but I will rate this with 9/10 because it deserves to be in my top-tier dramas)

KISSING SCENES ARE HOT BUT NOT ENTICING

"Cutie Pie" isn't worthy to be titled as it is. Yes, Kuea is literally cute but his character doesn't show it entirely in the entire 12 episodes.

The story talks about the importance of love, trust and marriage. Love and trust must always be in harmony. Same-sex marriage isn't fully acknowledged by law in most countries in the world. In this series, Kuea doesn't want marriage without love. He also finds that love is hard to believe when trust isn't there. Lian, on the other side, isn't a romantic type of person. They are bound to marry someday but their meaning of marriage is different. Last of all, they both have secrets that they are keeping.

The story of two boys who got engaged at the very young age was really exciting at the early episodes but the flow miserably failed as the story goes further. There are too many skips to mention in the entire series. The kissing scenes are just like watching porn, no romantic value at all. THIS IS NOT THE ACTOR'S FAULT actually but how the story pushed them is what makes the scenes a skip. The scenes felt unnatural, missing the emotions of the viewers.

The actors and their acting are quite good though. I always have fun watching the Automotive Eng'g group. They should've been given more scenes.

Overall, this is an average drama. There are no relevant parts that would make this recommendable to my friends.

IMMATURITY OF OH-AEW

I'm actually quite drawn in the first episode but as I continue watching the entire series, I skipped some unnecessary parts. The story is good but all scenes are very long. I would say that this drama could be much better if each episode is 30-40minutes only.

What I like the most in this drama is the acting of the casts. They did a fantastic job on their roles. The character development of Teh is very commendable. I like how he sacrificed his place for a friend. Tan and Bas have the best overall personality in my opinion. The only problem I have in this drama is I hate one particular behavior of Oh-aew. His emotions always make him worse. I don't want a person who can't manage his own priorities. Never in the entire series did I see him giving anything to Teh as token of appreciation. He only thinks of his own good. Immaturity is what I had in mind. (Note: I just only hate that particular behavior but the actor did his role well). Still, their overall acting is a 10/10 for me.

This is the second Thai BL drama I've watched so far. This is worthy to be watched if you have spare time but not a must-watch for me.

Every second isn't wasted.

I watched many BL kdramas in the past few weeks and I got very disappointed in the execution of the storyline of most of them. This kind of genre is very limited in time and the storyline must be kept solid.

This drama is my top 3 among the 10+ BL kdramas I have watched. This is also one of my top favorites among all dramas (all genres) based on how the story is fitted in the whole series. Every second isn't wasted. Every scene isn't rushed and prolonged. I also like that the story focuses on the relationship between 2 main leads. The director and other important personnel perfectly did their job on what is necessary within the 8 episodes.

Must watch!

The last episode is the decisive factor of the overall rating.

Romantic relationship between a very old man and a single 33-year-old man is indeed a fresh idea that really interests me in watching this series. But who would've thought that there are more intriguing subplots within this series? As the series passed through its mid episode, everything suddenly becomes more emotional to the love interests of Haruta Soichi. All of my emotions are rooting for someone else. The last episode had my heart stopped beating during entire episode. I didn't even know if I will be happy, shocked or maddened. That was the longest heart-stopping moment that I experienced while watching a BL series.

This series has the most inconsistent and confusing plots that I watched in BL world (disregarding the Mystery BL dramas). I really love how this series played my emotions and mind like I was dancing on its palm.

This is an extreme catchy series. I RECOMMEND this.

H3:MODC gang is a plus-point

This is my 5th HIStory series and this is my first time that I haven't received any emotional impact from its storyline. The length of this series is too long. LiCheng-Muren's relationship development is the main stronghold. The rest of the plots is mid and decent.

Bringing the cute couple (BoXiang-ZhiGang) in HIStory3: Make Our Days Count plus the cool gang is a very good decision. This is an interesting side plot that brought the continuation of the couple's happy and romantic relationship. I haven't also realized that one of the H3:MODC gang is the main lead in Plus & Minus. Thanks to H4:CTY for shaking my forgetful brain. The only problem is it outshined the main leads that were supposed the highlight of the ending.

Overall, this is a decent series. Without H3:MODC, this will just be an average BL series. You might hate it if you watch this without watching H3:MODC first.
