HIStory3: Faça Valer a Pena (2019)

A series that caught my attention, mainly because of the choice of actors, the acting was really top notch (Wayne-Hao Ting was top class and Wilson-Bo Xiang was great in his youth). I also agree with Extasy that the Taiwanese series are different from the often "laced" Thai series, they are closer to the eye of the European viewer, more natural, the plot has a faster flow and does not drag on like a snot.
It took me a while to get used to the characters. The athletic, tall and fit Hao Ting and the skinny greeting from Dachau Xi Gu. The second couple was with me from the beginning without a problem (young Bo Xiang and bistro owner Zho Gang). The parents and sister were also very well chosen. Overall, I rate it highly, only the conclusion in the year when the marriage of same-sex couples was legalized in the country, they could forgive themselves. But even here Wayne showed himself and "transformed" with his excellent acting, perhaps we can look forward to the second one that is shown on MDL, which will hopefully be - HIStory4: Make Our Days Count 2 and Wayne should play the main role there again...


Seriál, který mě zaujal, a to především výběrem herců, herectvím, které bylo skutečně na výši (Wayne-Hao Ting extratřída a Wilson-Bo Xiang při svém mládí super). I já se shoduji s Extasy, že taiwanské seriály jsou jiné, než mnohdy "sešněrované" thajské, jsou blíže oku evropského diváka, přirozenější, děj má rychlejší spád a netáhne se jako sopel.
Než jsem si zvykl na postavy, chvíli mi to trvalo. Atletický, vysoký a vysportovaný Hao Ting a vyzáblý pozdrav z Dachau Xi Gu. Druhá dvojice byla u mě od začátku bez problému (mladý Bo Xiang a majitel bistra Zho Gang). Velmi dobře byli vybráni i rodiče a sestra. Celkově hodnotím vysoko, jen ten závěr zrovna v roce, kdy bylo v zemi uzákoněno manželství párů stejného pohlaví, si mohli odpustit. Ale i tady se Wayne projevil a "proměnil" svým výborným herectvím, snad se můžeme těšit na dvojku, která je uvedena na MDL, že snad bude - HIStory4: Make Our Days Count 2 a Wayne by tam měl hrát zase hlavní roli ...

To Absolutely No One's Surprise, The Ending Ruined It

The only other show that I've seen that has so completely ruined itself with its ending was How I Met Your Mother. Like HIMYM, this show used the final (two) episode(s) to completely take a left turn and undermine the entire point of the rest of the show. Both shows left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I feel, from a writing standpoint, ended up just being very cheap and unsatisfactory.

And it's sad, because the rest of the show was so good! I enjoyed the first 18 episodes immensely. I loved watching these characters fall for each other and fight to be together. I loved the friend group and even the side couple (though I will say the age difference squicked me pretty bad, especially in the beginning when they kept calling attention to it).

If I were to give the final episodes any sort of props, it would be that the acting was super well done. I liked the acting throughout the whole show, but I was very impressed by the acting in the final episodes. Still, the final episodes just ruined this whole thing.

I just— god, if you wanna write a tragedy, then write a tragedy. Don't write a romance and throw a dash of tragedy in at the end.

One of the best BL series ever!

After two years I watched this series again and it was as good as I remembered.
This series was amazing in beautifully crafting an enemy to lover trope in an unconventional way and with a heartbreaking ending.

While the second couple had a slow start, it was also a realistic way of showing how lovers could come together with one enthusiastic teenager and an older, hurt adult. I have no clue why there is so much complaining about an age gap. It was not that big and it happens in real life too. You can never decide to love, it just happens!

Also some complain about the ending, but that can happen and I personally think it's great to depicture something like that too. It transforms this series from the typical highschool romance to a mature slice of life.
Everything was thoughtfully executed, the nuances in the acting were amazing. and it will be one of the best BLs of all time imho.

If you can stomach a really heartbreaking ending you should watch for sure!

PS.: In this year (2024) should be a second season, I only hope it can be as amazing.

noooo

i read the warnings for the last 2 episodes but still watched them. i know that's dumb but it was worth a little for the second lead couple i really liked them. because the first couple was a bit toxic i mean who falls for a person who blames you and had hit you. it didn't matter much because i have seen worst but i didn't expect anything of this level. I just can't re-watch it's too sad and i have enough reason to cry already.

Controversial opinion

First of I’ll start by saying this is legit the first review I’ve ever written on here so it’s probably not gonna be great.

My controversial opinion is, I liked the ending! Well, I didn’t like the fact he died, it was heartbreaking of course, but I liked the concept and emotions it evoked. The name of the series is ‘make our days count’ and it needed a reason for that. The ending shows that you never know when life could be over, you never know when your days could be over. So you have to make those days count. The ending was essentially needed so that the title had a meaning and a purpose. Yes it was painful, but a painful ending doesn’t mean it’s a bad ending.

Overall, the cast were incredible. They really knew how to pull on your heartstrings and their acting was so natural.

It’s a really sweet series overall, and I highly recommend. Just make sure you have tissues handy!

My favourite BL Drama of all time

This has to be my favourite BL drama of all time. I keep rewatching at least twice a year since it came out. I don’t like that some people under rated this drama on review just because of the ending.

I believe that some people are failing to understand the message here, which is we going to lose people we love in life it’s inevitable, we can’t always have a happy ending it’s all fantasy but in reality people leave by death or break up.

I loved everything about this drama, the music 🎶 Cast, pairing, cinematography and characters storyline. This was a Masterpiece. Absolutely loved it 🤍

I’ll just go ahead and write my review for HIStory seasons 1-4 as one review (including both of the season 3 stories).
Season 1 – this is actually just 3 completely unrelated stories. “My Hero” is a supernatural film that is really just kind of weird. Hero’s girlfriend is mistakenly taken by the angel of death and in an effort to keep her soul on earth with Hero, he shoves her into the first available body who happens to also be in love with Hero. “Stay Away from Me” is better and deals with a taboo of new step-brothers who develop feelings for each other and a friend who desperately wants them to be together. “Obsession” is even better and actually rather well written even though there is a supernatural element to it as the lead dies and wakes up alive 9 years earlier. “Obsession” is the only episode in Season 1 that actually opens up the physical side of BL dramas. It’s clear that the writers got better with each episode. Thankfully the remaining seasons were not like this.
Season 2 – This season is 2 separate stories broken into 4 episodes each. Episodes 1-4 are called “Right or Wrong” and involve a professor/student relationship. Episodes 5-8 “Crossing the Line” are about a volleyball team manager and his junior he recruits to play for the team due to his natural ability. The relationship that develops between them is sincere and set at a good pace for only being 4 episodes. There is also another step-brother relationship in this one (this seems to be a favorite theme among the HIStory writers as we will see it yet again in Season 4).
Season 3 – “Trapped” is a hate turned love story between a goofy police officer and a super hot mob boss who is trying to get his outfit to go legit. There’s a secondary love story between a gun for hire and another police officer that’s also really cute. This one has a good looking cast, mostly decent acting, and a good storyline. However, the very final scene leaves you a bit unsatisfied and wanting to know what will happen in the future. Perhaps they will do a follow up season with this one at some point.
Season 3 – “Make Our Days Count” is both my favorite season and my least favorite season. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but get your tissues ready because you WILL cry. While Song Wei En and Huang Juan Zhi are the main couple in this series, my favorite couple is played by Zhang Han Yuan and Liu Wei Chen, and I’m assuming they were a lot of fans favorites as they appear as a couple in season 4 and are set to have their own upcoming season of “Make Our Days Count2”. I would also like to point out that our main couple makes an appearance in a cross-over project with Japan “Life-Love on the Line”.
Season 4 – “Close to You” is the latest season currently available. It deals with 3 best friends who work together as wedding planners. Li Cheng and Mu Ren are both “straight” men who fall in love. Again there is a step-brother relationship that actually gets the parents involved this time. Let me tell you, mom is a bit of an odd one. And of course as stated previously, our favorite couple from season 3 makes a really cute appearance in a few of the episodes.

Series History pertama yang ... taulah ~

Series ini menceritakan seorang anak laki-laki bernama Yu Xi Gu yang rajin, bekerja keras dan serius dalam menjalani study-nya di sekolah, hal ini dilakukannya karena dia ingin mengubah nasibnya yang kurang beruntung. Di sisi lain, ada seorang laki-laki yang mempunyai sifat yang berkebalikan dengan Yu Xi Gu, laki-laki tersebut bernama Xiang Hao Ting. Xiang Hao Ting sering sekali membully dan bersikap keras kepada Yu Xi Gu, namun karena sikapnya itu dia membuat masalah yang menyeretnya untuk menjadi dekat dengan Yu Xi Gu, bagaimana kisah mereka? saksikan series ini. Secara umum, ini bL yang sangat biasa saja ya, dari segi cerita ataupun alur, tertebak jalan ceritanya bagaimana - selain itu latar kehidupan mereka yang hanya "anak sekolahan" sangat biasa menjadi bL ordinary di perbL an series terutama seperti bL dari negeri Thailand. Namun tidak hanya seperti itu, ada makna yang kuat di series ini, yang lumayan mempunyai life meaning yang berarti, pengemasan series ini menurutku "Youth" dan memiliki cerita yang mudah dimengerti, ceritanya ringan dan bagus. Selain Yu Xi Gu dan Xiang HAo Ting, ada pasangan kedua yang menurutku seperti main role jga, apalagi di episode-episode mendekati akhir, mereka malah seperti menjadi mainrole utama - mereka adalah Sun Bo Xiang dan Lu Zhi Gang, kedua tokoh ini punya nuansa romantis yang unik karena menampilkan perbedaan pola pikir karakter, yang satu berperan sebagai anak kecil alias siswa yang masih benar-benar muda dan yang satunya lagi sebagai orang dewasa yang berfikiran luas ke depan tentang masa depan dan serius, perbedaan ini membuat hubungan mereka unik, menarik dan tidak biasa seperti bL-bL lainnya - ya walaupun bL seperti ini pernah ada di History 2 Right or Wrong namun menurutku latar dari pasangan ini benar-benar berbeda. Sangat rekomendasi untuk ditonton.

I've watched a lot of BL series ftom all around the world but sis History 3:Make our days count is far one of my favorite BL alongside tharntype the story was so relatable, well except for the se"x scenes :), but i could see myself doing that in high school anyways, ep 1 to 9 will give you all the BL scene that would satisfy you...


But ending came, it was so heartbreaking to watch i was crying while watching the last ep even the reruns, it was so sudden that's why i can't help but to think that's why from ep 1 to 9 they were giving us the ooh ah ah sensation since most prbably the plot twist will cause a stir in the BL world.


the only flaw of this drama is the plot twist nobody was expecting it and nobody wanted it to happen it just breaks my heart to see him cry throughout the last ep and of course the music it was very off, but we aint watching the show just for ost so i dont think its really important but yes ost's can give us the ooh ahah sensation we need from each ep.



overall i love it and will always remain as one of my fav BL's


And take note: this is my first time reviewing a drama

How the hell am I suppose to review this

It was really good. The nine episodes were so good. History 1 and 2 didn't really catch my heart but this one had depth and character development. The story was running perfectly and I constantly fell in love with the guys since their acting looked natural. But I don't know how to handle the ending. I don't mind a sad ending but honestly, after watching this I just feel sad and empty. I am not sure if I can't cope with how heartbreaking and sorrowful the ending was. I would say it was worth watching it but it left a lingering aftertaste I did get rid of and i am just crying.

,, I have changed. But he won't.”
