Surpreendente!!
No primeiro episodio eu achei ela morna, meia boca e já tinha especulado tudo o que ia acontecer, mas eu me surpreendi muito. Essa serie é uma obra prima. Historia nota 10, atuação nota 10, se tivesse uma ost bem tocante seria com certeza a serie do ano. Essa serie se divide em 6 episódios, todos muito bem pensados com um roteiro muito coeso e viciante, a historia é emocionante e foi muito bem escrita. Papa and daddy é uma serie que você realmente se impressiona, eu acho que a forma como o cotidiano e a realidade foi trazida pra essa serie foi totalmente correta. O plot twist no final foi babado e resta muita ansiedade para a próxima temporada.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Não é BL
Essa série é simplesmente maravilhosa, e com certeza fez história. Não se trata de uma série BL, mas de uma série LGBTQIAP+(são gêneros diferentes).O roteiro dessa série é perfeito, eles conseguiram encaixar vários temas dentro da temática, que me pergunto como conseguiram fazer isso em 6 episódios tão curtos. Retratando esse relacionamento de um casal homoafetivo, eles conseguiram mostrar que a vida de casal tem basicamente os mesmos problemas, dentre eles a adoção de Kai Kai, e toda a dificuldade em criá-lo e educá-lo num mundo cheio de preconceitos, chorei quando eles perceberam que Kai Kai estava sendo ignorado pelos amigos por não ter uma mãe. Outro tema importante foi a carreira profissional, quando Jerry praticamente abandona seu trabalho de youtuber para se dedicar a cuidar do filho enquanto Damien trabalha fora. Achei o máximo quando Jerry decidiu gravar seus vídeos de novo e exigiu tempo para si, e Damien não concordou até sua amiga olhar para ele e perguntar: "vc não pode abrir mão da sua carreira, mas ele sim?" A aceitação familiar foi abordada quando Jerry, cansado de ser forçado aos encontros com mulheres pela mãe, teve que sair do armário, e que pai maravilhoso, simplesmente disse que não entendia o relacionamento, mas iria aceitar e tentar entender, pois sabia que os tempos mudaram. A mostra da parada LGBTQIAP+ foi maravilhosa, principalmente num país que já foi parte da China, a presença das crianças participando e sendo educadas para entender que todas as formas de amar são justas foi histórica, um tapa na cara da sociedade conservadora.
Atuação de milhões, boa fotografia, e o único defeito é a falta de uma ost linda, fora isso, não tenho reclamações. Até o final que me deixou nervosa, foi o gancho necessário para uma segunda temporada.
Recomendo a série, é tocante e quem vê uma vez quer ver de novo.

Não tinha um episódio que eu não ficasse com um sorrisão, casal com muita química e o Kai é muito fofo, curiosamente este é realmente seu nome e as filmagens foram em sua casa de verdade. Os amigos eram tão legais, até formavam casais fofos, fiquei curiosa sobre a vida desses secundários, aliás estavam mais para família, a maioria também tem filhos. Este é outro ponto legal, a naturalidade dos casais, tanto lésbicos, como gays.
Sobre a parte família, foi muito bem executada, tenho uma sobrinha pequena então coisas cotidianas que acontecem com crianças são meu dia a dia. As dificuldades, os acertos e erros sendo mostrados em um BL foi muito bom.
Uma dica, eu tinha esquecido a ousadia dos dramas de Taiwan, quando for ver o segundo e o último episódio, cuidado e diminua o volume.
Sobre o final, sei que muitos preferiam que tivesse terminado de uma certa forma, eu também, mas não vejo como algo ruim se houver algum dia uma segunda temporada, porém algumas pessoas disseram que não haverá. O que resta é torcer para que isso mude.

More than just the simple BL it appears to be
Story:Wow, although I know that there have been various BL series where the couple adopt a son, this series took that theme to another level. I think it’s important that this is a Taiwanese series as Taiwan is the first and so far only (not counting Israel) Asian country to legalise same sex marriage and allow partial adoption for same sex couples. This series deals with some serious and prevalent issues that unfortunately many LGBT couples still face to this day, including homophobia, child bullying, and adoption as prime examples of this. It’s clear both Jerry and Damian don’t have supportive parents due to the simple fact that they are hiding their marriage and adoption from their families, and in episode 2 and 3 I understood why that was when watching Jerry’s mum. I’m honestly really happy to see LGBT dramas portray such realistic aspects of gay relationships, such as societal pressure and trying to come to a consensus with something both Jerry and Damian can agree on (in this case it’s having children). I love the fact that they dug deep into Kai’s confusion with having 2 dads instead of a mum and a dad, because it really shows the heteronormative society we live in where children are expected to have a mum and dad despite this fact not affecting anyone else except the family. Episode 5 was by far my favourite because it does such an amazing job to present the fear of coming out, especially to conservative parents which I’ve definitely had a lot of experience with. It was so heartwarming that their love could be accepted and I nearly cried at the final scene. Unfortunately episode 6 was when everything went downhill and they left it with a cliffhanger which will cause a lot of drama if a second season is made. I’m hoping that people uploading episodes illegally won’t affect the production from season 2, because I really need to know what’s going to happen now.
Acting/Cast:
—Melvin Sia as “Damian”- Melvin was such a great, natural actor. He has fantastic expression management and his acting is so natural and realistic, which I’m not surprised about knowing he’s already won several awards for his acting prior to this series. His interactions with his “son” and with Mike are so natural I could hardly believe this was the first drama where he played a gay character.
—Mike Lin as “Jerry”- Jerry is another amazing actor whose acting has such a natural feel to it and really draws you in. Jerry is definitely a very relatable character who just wants to travel the world and has such high aspirations yet, with a supportive partner, is still able to settle down while doing whatever he wants. In episode 5 he did an amazing job portraying the fears that those in the LGBT community still face to this day when coming out to close family members and friends. With Melvin I wasn’t surprised to see he was already a successful actor, but I was shocked that Mike is still so new to the industry, having only acted in 1 other series and 2 movies prior to this. Despite being so new he did an amazing job and I really hope to see him in future series too.
Music:
Other than the opening and ending there is nothing particularly memorable about it.
Overall:
A definite 9.5/10 for me. This may only be a short series, but despite its length there is a very strong portrayal of a married gay couple and their adoption, versus how those around them and society as a whole reacts to these connections. It’s definitely worth a watch but I would recommend avoiding the last episode until news of season 2 is officially announced, otherwise it’s going to be a very inconsequential watch.

Please, more of this
I just have watched the 5th episode (for me, the best one so far) and I am sad that there is only one episode left. I could watch this all day and night because THIS is true. It is not one more of an unrealistic BL-story.Do not get me wrong, I like a good romantic BL. But this show is so much closer to the real life of a gay couple! This is a fact that often bothers me, that 99% of the BL series our there are not about gay relationships but only exist to please a certain kind of viewers: women who ship the actors even in their private life, regardless if they are real or not.
This show really "get's to the point": the stuggle about having a child as a gay couple, the acceptance of the queer friend group, but not the family (although episode 5 made me burst in applause for the dad, BEST DAD EVER!), the "need" to hide in front of the mom's at kindergarden - and the actors are absolutely believable, they work amazing with each other.
I would love to see more of these series, where it is not about "Am I gay? No, I only love this paritcular boy *blabla*" or engineering students falling in love with each other while women are hysterically screaming in the background. Show us how it is to live in a gay / lesbian / queer relationship, only "true" shows like this will lead to a bigger acceptance in real life! THIS creates real support, not stupid character / actor - shipping.

Almost perfect, but no
Papa and Daddy was a short, LGBTQ+ series about two gay men with a son conceived through surrogacy. Here are my pros and cons:PROS
THE STORY. This is a story that needs to be told, and the writers did a great job with this one.
ACTING. No complaints!
REAL LIFE SITUATIONS. I liked the pride parade, the circle of supportive gay friends, the hiding, the coming out... all realistic issues for gay couples with children.
CONS
SLOW PACING. Some of the scenes were a bit draggy and boring.
THE ENDING, THE ENDING, THE ENDING. It's a stupid idea for any series to end a season with a cliffhanger, but especially for a BL/LGBTQ+ series, as Season 2 often has a way of not happening. Turns out Damian has a teenage son and Jerry is just finding out. And the producers have announced that Season 2 will likely not be happening. SHAME ON THEM.
It's the reason my score is as low as it is. Even if they do have a Season 2, ending with a cliffhanger isn't cool. Cliffhangers suck.
What would have been 9.0 from me is now 7.0.

I NEED MORE!!
This is such a breathe of fresh air after getting exposed to the oversaturated confused, indenial and such BL series genre's out there.It was a take of how same-sex couple deal with various things on their life as they fight to conquer the norm to provide better understanding to their son.
It does have some departments where it's lacking at, but I just love how they emphasized and tackle the most important matters and that what made this drama a cut above the rest.
Story - 10, This type of BL Genre hasn't really been shown to the public's eye that much and does made this piece very interesting and eye-catching. The story itself is good and has captured necessary topics that should've been discussed and highlighted on how same-sex couple deal and struggle to achieve acceptance and understanding.
Acting/Cast - 10, IF i can give 1000 then so be it. I'm labeling this as the BL series with the most kissing scenes that felt so natural you can't help but get drawn to them and feel jealous.Hahaha The Actors & Actresses were excellent and was able to portray their own character the way it should be.
Music - 8, Honestly I'm just so excited to watch the series that i'm doing skips with the intro and outro. ? But the rest of the filler sounds & music were properly assigned I must say since it never bothered me one bit. Sorry about this crappy part of my review. Lol
Rewatch Value - 10, This story just deserves as many rewatch as it could get. Probably will rewatch it once the Season 2 comes out... Hopefully!! /Cross fingers/
Overall - 10, A very worthy story i would recommend to anybody simply because it is that good. It addressed so much concerns and share its own take of values and this made this series super special and unique.

AMAZING
Wow I was really reluctant to start this drama, mainly because I thought this was going to turn out like the one of those drastic BL where the parents were not going to accept and we were going to have a whole blackmail drama session, well I am glad i watched it and extremely mad at the ending, wish they would hurry up with 2 already!!Okay onto the review, well firstly it was really good and I loved the two main leads and how they challenged themselves to go against the norm of raising a child, I can imagine the difficulty that may have encountered along the way. Do not get me wrong, I like a good romantic BL. But this show is so much closer to the real life of a gay couple! This is a fact that often bothers me, that 99% of the BL series our there are not about gay relationships but only exist to please a certain kind of viewers: women who ship the actors even in their private life, regardless if they are real or not. This show really "get's to the point": the struggle about having a child as a gay couple, the acceptance of the queer friend group, but not the family (although episode 5 made me burst in applause for the dad, BEST DAD EVER!), the "need" to hide in front of the mom's at kindergarten - and the actors are absolutely believable, they work amazing with each other. I especially loved how supportive he was with his partner, as was always willing to let me handle his parents in his own way, but was there to comfort him, or when he was stressed out about the other mothers etc... whereas in the past the partner would be pressured to come out and admit who there were, however, I do think 6 years into the relationship with a 4 year old kid he should have made a little difference, I did feel for Damián when Jerry had to go on those blind dates (chuckle).
My only Con with this is that it ended with such a cliff hanger (shock)
Overall this is a dam good drama and i feel its done real life form, so hats off for that. Cant wait for 2

Episode 6
I hate the fact that this ended on such a cliff hanger. I’m not sure if Jerry will forgive Damien for not telling him he has another son. Really like this show and hope they continue. Or at least finish the season so we know what happens. I knew something like this was gonna happen but how do you go 4 years into a relationship and never mention your kid or go visit him. I have enjoyed all the other episodes and would love to see more backstory. I don’t really know what else I can say about this show it’s fun to watch and I think it has great actors. And the actor who plays Damien really knows how to cry to make you feel sorry for him. But this kid he has kinda feels like he came out of nowhere. And they are just introducing him for more drama. Hopefully Jetty doesn’t stay mad at him too long. And hey at least Kia is getting a big brother out of it.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Realistic
So for starters this has been on my PTWL for awhile and once it was completed I went straight to binge watch. Everything about this is so heartfelt. There's not much illogical or unethical dramatics which makes it refreshing. There's chemistry between the MCs which (everyone can agree) is something of great importance in a BL series. I would recommend to a new BL fan and definitely shout it to the world because it's real in all the right ways! This series tackles some of the most important things gays have to experience and it's so beautifully done.I need a S2 like... YESTERDAY lmao
Enjoy...

A hot mess but the good kind
It's really good but I will say it's a mess tbh. They avoid problems like the plague. They got married and had a kid but they never told Jerry's parents about it. For 6 fucking years??? Also Damain never told Jerry about his son for 6 fucking years and he has the audacity to say that he never had the chance? Bitch it was 6 fucking years. Also they never showed,how Damain convinced jerry to have kids and get married,so that suck. Also they made me confused,wheather things were happening in the past,present or future. Since there was no indication. But ehh,despite the flaws it's a good drama. Gold acting, kinda realistic situation and it's nice to see representation of the LGBTQ+ community and it's not only a bl.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Cute, but...
This is not a very long review since not a lot of things stand out. These are my opinions.Things I liked: (1) The social aspect of it is really important, showing that gay parents are just as good as straight parents. (2) Cute and entertaining.
Things I didn't like as much: (1) The acting, especially on episode 3. It was so cringe watching them act in public; (2) Why do they say these English sentences literally from nowhere? I have never spoken English like that with people I know; (3) There was an episode they were having lunch and after eating they played "never have I ever", they were literally talking about having outdoor sex when the kids were at a table literally next to them. (4) The show kinda felt like a Thai bl show where, in a group of 6 or more, every one of them turns gay, every character that was related to the main couple is gay, I think it would be more realistic/empowering if at least one of the couples were a straight one.
