This first installment of the series did not completely convince me.
The story was interesting but it has a lot of holes, it's very fast and the characters don't have time to develop. I find their story beautiful but very superficial, I would have preferred to see it develop in a different and more truthful way.
Too bad, because it could have developed much better.

Cute story worth watching with some small flaws
I honestly enjoyed this short story more that I thought I would. Reading the reviews and seeing what the show was rated my expectations weren't high when I starting watching the show initially. Watching the show I found Bar and Gun to be cute together and I enjoyed the consent between them and the way they were able to have conversations with each other like adults. I also enjoyed seeing the growth of Bar's character and how he became more open and accepting with his relationship as well as affection for Bar. With this being said the show wasn't perfect and had some small flaws. The show was short and this led to the development of Bar and Gun to be rushed at times. Also the acting isn't the best I've seen. The actor that played Bar had better acting than the actor that played Gun. His acting needed a little bit of work, but it wasn't to the point of ruining the show for me. Besides the acting at times and the pacing of the story I didn't really have any other problems. I may be in the minority of my review of this show, but honestly I think reviews are a bit harsh and the story was pretty good for only having four episodes to work with.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

The story of this 4 episode series is effortless. It doesn't have an elaborate back story nor a complicated twist, it just shows how Gun and Bar developed as a couple with minimal character development. That makes it easy to watch, at least for me.I find the actor that played Gun, good looking but not as much as the story is trying to portray. I don't want to be mean, but casting is very important part of the story telling. It's his first series and I hope he will continue to improve himself. Even though this is just a small seriea, they managed to have a lot of supporting characters, which I find enjoyable to watch. Vee is cute. Beam is cute. Lol
I don't know, but I like TOSSARA more than Love Mechanics. But they are equally good series.

Not as bad as it has unfortunately been made out to be.
Disclaimer: I don't review very often, so I would like you to give my thoughts some thought.Granted, it isn't the best BL (looking at you, episode one)- but I loved the communication. The way Bar slowly gains confidence in his relationship is so wonderful to see!
I'll admit, Gun's character could have done better, and the pushy/overly enthusiastic behavior (NOT between the leads, I meant between Bar and his friend group) kind of put me off, but I don't think it's something that should diminish the series as a whole.
Did I mention the AMAZING consent & communication between the lead characters?
No hate, but the top review is from the perspective of that person. I would consider myself a "long-time BL fan", and I don't have too many qualms against this series. After all, a cheesy and predictable BL is something we all need once in a while.
I'm being repetitive, but i'll say it agin for the people in the back- consent is sexy... and this series is very, VERY sexy.
TL;DR– It's not as bad as it seems. I suggest you watch it YOURSELF, and then decide whether you like it or not.

The reviews agree that my instinct was correct and that ‘off’ was the best thing to do with this show.
In the few minutes I watched I found the lead actor rather creepy and sorry to be shallow, too unattractive for the part given that he was referred to by the supporting cast as some sort of hunk! A hunk he was not. If you’re saying hunk I want a hunk. When it started I though he was a support character rather than a lead.
Life is too short for me to go any further with this show.

It's not spectacularly terrible or anything! The cons just far outweighed the pros for me.
TOSSARA is O.K. enough if you are willing to bear with it. Perhaps you, reader, would be more forgiving than I am, ahaha! I would've given the 2nd episode a shot, however, the reality is that I have more shows lined up and ready to be watched, so, I dropped it. There were simply things that I disliked, both technical and otherwise.For instance, the sound. I found that the inconsistency in the audio bugged me a lot. Especially the voiceovers, where the recordings were not polished, and the quality of audio sounded different from one another. Sometimes, there would also be these slightly awkward silences when they're reading comments or text messages. That ticked me off, too.
Gotta admit though, the character Gun's voice at a low register is so pleasing to listen to.
The characters, most of them were actually fun! There was the slight charm of TOSSARA feeling, natural (?), for lack of a better word. The acting isn't cringe-to-the-bones, it was just right. But I guess in the end, the plot at the beginning didn't engage me enough so as to keep me watching.
Perhaps, in a later time, I would have the heart to pick this up again. Until then, I'll catch up on other shows.
