THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER!!!

From start to finish this movie was so interesting! It had a little bit of everything from fantasy/supernatural to action and romance.

Story:
All I have to say is that this movie is definitely worth watching and I feel that everything was portrayed in such a way so that the ending has a massive impact on the watcher and for me it surely did! I can’t say much about the story as everything you need to know before you watch the movie has already been shown in the trailer and all you have to do is try your luck and give it a go. One thing is for sure - you will not be bored~

Acting/cast:
As always, Darren Wang delivered a splendid performance - I am seriously always in awe by this man’s acting! In fact, all the actors dod a very good job and executing their characters and the acting never seemed forced or cringey. The action scenes were delivered so well that I literally had myself edging over my sofa looking forward to what would happen next.


I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to watch an interesting action filled supernatural movie^•^

THIS WAS ACTUALLY SO GOOD

I recently finished watching this drama 2 minutes ago and I was watching it as it was on going. It made me really sad to see so many negative reviews about this phenomenonal drama.

This was almost a slice of life kind of drama and I tremendously enjoyed it. I would look forward to every Friday for the next episode because watching this drama just made me real giddy.

In my opinion, everything was perfect - everything was well paced, yes, the plot was a cliché but the actors made it work and they portrayed it beautifully.

I had zero expectations for this drama - I had never heard or seen any of the actors in this BL before but I still gave it a watch and I was truly hooked from the first episode.

I haven't read the web novel so maybe I could be seeing this in a slightly different light but I just wanted to drop this postive review in between all the negative ones.

Something that I adored about this drama was the comedy, its supposed to be a romantic comedy and nothing too serious and that is exactly what it is. There is no upsetting or sad element to this drama, its just the usual - the nasty selfish ex, supportive friends, and a cute blossoming romance.

Although, I can see why people are so upset by this drama and one of the reasons being the mention of homophobia... there is definitely a taste of that element within this drama BUT what is not being looked at by anyone is how well it is being handled in this drama. The characters do not do anything without a reason, there's a reason for their behaviors and towards the end of the drama we definitely see a massive change in the MC and how he tries to embrace his sexual orientation.

Sometimes as people, we forget to see how other people view something, we become biased almost. I think its just a bit hard for people to accept the fact that the characters in this drama could behave in such ways. Tonhon's father is definitely one of the characters - I do not want to reveal too much information about his actions however, I believe that he was historically and socially inclined. Despite the fact that it wasn't displayed in the drama, theoretically speaking, for a big business man that is under a lot of business pressure, it must be difficult for him to accept a few things as he is already under so much pressure as to what to do with his wealth. I do admit that he definitely went overboard with how he treated and reacted to things, basically drilling his commands into his children but he understood that he stepped the line and did apologize in the end.

I hope I haven't given out too many spoilers as I talked about Tonhon's father. Overall, the reason I would give this drama a 10 out of 10 all star rating is because it stayed true to its genre and also because it never bored me at any point and also because the actors truly did an amazing job!! I genuinely felt the chemistry between the main leads and I loveddd how it was based off a childhood romance. Lastly, one more important thing - the supportive friends are something that need to be appreciated more!! The support characters did an amazing job and I loved how they were sensible whilst handling messy situations all while giving me a big fat laugh.

I think we all need to try and see this drama in a more positive light!! This drama really doesn't deserve the 2.5 and 4 ratings that people have given out of annoyance or anger. The actors did a wonderful job and so did the musicians who creates the masterpiece that is MAI MEE MEIN NO ITROYY okay I don't know the lyrics but this song really hyped me up!! I hope that more people can watch this drama in the future and try to appreciate the hardwork done by the production team:)) And I also hope that this review gets recognized so that not everyone thinks that Tonhon Chonlatee is a bad drama.

thank you for reading thisss!! Definitely give this drama a try just by watching the first episode on YouTube GMMTV's channel.

'Art isn't supposed to look nice; it's supposed to make you feel something'

As someone that stepped into this movie having known nothing about it and nothing about the storyline, I would have to say that it left me speechless. Often times people think that melodramatic stories get a lot of recognition well because they are melodramatic. "Nothing could go wrong with a good old sob story! The viewers will love it!" Well then , of course there are those people that manage to pick up on it and bring our attention to it. However, I like to look at it in a different light.

This movie managed to make me smile, cry and reflect all in one sitting. Watching these characters that I am only seeing for the first time and yet still managing to empathise with them, cry with them, and understand their pain with them. Isn't it a beautiful feeling? Isn't it extraordinary?

I do not know of any of the Chinese idioms and I do not understand the implied meanings that are continuously being suggested, although one thing I know for sure is that this was a heart-warming experience.
I would not want to rewatch this and bawl my eyes out ever again but it would be wholesome to remember this Sunday afternoon that I sat down to watch a movie over all the other productions. that seemed uninteresting to me on my Netflix explore page.

I didn't really like this movie. I admit I was interested because of the lgbtq+ tag and because Jisoo acted in it but this movie was produced quite badly.

Overall, the storyline was great and the acting was really good too but the way it was portrayed was not well.

Some of the scenes as well, they seemed very random and rushed and they were also irrelevant. Its like they only added the scene because they were trying to make the story seem funny, but it wasn't funny.

When I had watched at least around 1 hour of the movie, I stopped watching it: the characters kinda started to get on my nerves because everything seemed so unrealistic.

I have no comments about the music because I don't think there was any or maybe it wasn't good enough to catch my attention.

In conclusion, the storyline is interesting and the acting is decent but I wouldn't watch it if I were you because its portrayed poorly.

(I apologize if my review offended you in any way, iI was just being honest and besides, this ia my personal opinion)

I. AM. TRAUMATIZED.

I have one thing to say and one thing only: watch at your own risk because trust me the river of tears that will flow out of your eyes will be inexplicable.
...okay so I just realized that my review has to be longer than 500 words so let me actually give you a constructive opinion on this without spoiling anything.
This was definitely a 'journey' type of movie where you feel like you are a part of the character's life as you watch them grow and learn and become the best version of themselves possible. It will pull at you heartstrings and do you dirty in the most unimaginable ways possible. But it's definitely wrong for me to hate on this movie just because it made me cry a little (a lot) which is why I am only going to appreciate the happy movements and convince myself that there was nothing that made me cry (*lies*) but I guess we move. As my mother always says, "it's just a fictional character" (that made me cry a gallon of tears, yes)

Anyways, to whoever has already watched this movie and is currently reading this review as a response to withdrawal symptoms: stay strong<3

Let me just start off by saying that this entire drama was so unexpected. Every minute that passed by had me even more hooked to the plot. Yes, this is one of those addictive kdramas.

Story: Now, solely focusing on the plot, it was amazing. There were no loop holes anywhere and neither were they scenes that made you cringe. It was produced wonderfully and I loved how everything eventually linked and made sense towards the end. Although, this drama requires a lot of thinking in my opinion and its almost as if you have to actually use your own brain to try and understand what the characters are getting at.

Acting/Cast: One word, SPECTACULAR. You know whats more astonishing about this cast? These are actually most of the characters first big main roles. However, Shin Ye Eun has already acted as a main role in a really good web drama A-teen, I was still really happy for her because this is a much bigger drama. Furthermore, the rest of the main cast did an amazing job despite it being their first big main roles, like Kim Kwon who played Kang Seong Mo, you could evidently see his good acting skills and he gave off a great vibe about the character's personality, which wasn't misleading at all. Secondly, Kim Da Som who played Eun Ji Soo was also a perfomance well done. I really enjoyed seeing her in this drama as she portrayed her character so well. Lastly, Park Jin Young who played the main protagonist, Lee Ahn was fantastic at portraying his role. Personally, I think he fitted Ahn's role the best and his personality just really matched up with his appearance. However, one thing I noticed in the first few episodes, was that he wore the exact same outfit each time he went out of the house, which was quite often but I didn't really mind that as it only lasted for 2 episodes or so. Overall, everyone's acting was really good and not cringy at all, they gave off an accurate vibe of the characters personality and I liked that the most about the actors.

Music: The music was very well fitting as it gave me the feeling I am supposed to feel during that scene. Additionally, it wasn't cringy or anything of that sort.

Rewatch Value: I'm not really one to rewatch dramas but this is one drama that I will definitely rewatch at some point in my life as it was just so well written and well portrayed. It was the perfect mixture of comedy, romance, thriller, drama and everything in between.

Overall: If you're wondering whether or not to watch this drama- watch it because trust me, you won't regret a single bit of your time. If you enjoy watching a light hearted comedy mixed with thriller, action and a tinge of melodrama then this drama is definitely for you. I would advise you to watch this drama all in one go even though thats not very healthy lol, but it will get you in the feels and emotions of the drama which is an extraordinary feeling.

I would definitely a drama that I would recommend. It is very simple yet it keeps the watcher intrigued; the plot is really good as it slowly unfolds the background stories of the support characters while still focusing on the main characters. Personally, I think this story really gives you an understanding fate and love but in a different an more unique way. I really don't have anything bad to say about this drama as I found that there is really nothing to dislike about it. There is a good amount of humor here there with a side of romance and people realizing that friendship can form without realizing it.

Basically in conclusion, I would totally recommend this drama if you are interested in something short, simple, humorous and intriguing.
