Just SLOW, with NO SATISFACTION.

I have to be honest. I didn't enjoy this BL unfortunately. I had to watch in 2X to get through the episodes because most scenes were just too damn looooong.

We have 2 stories, and none of them did anything to me if that makes sense. Like I wasn't touched by any of them. The acting wasn't the best. The story didn't live up to its potential. And what was up with Sky / Tong Fah suddenly being hospitalized ( why wasn't that addressed? ).

Some scenes were good as for example when Sky / Tong Fah talks to Near and M separately about their relationship. but some others for example when Daisy left Jeno alone after Arthur, Jim and Suer ambushed him, like TF. ( girl ruuuuun or just walk past them ). I kinda liked how they dealt with the whole bullying situation, but it could have been done better. Or when The Uni Counselor was talking to Chris about uni was nice once, but don't let that be their only dialogue because it was sooo repetitive.

But yeah, I personally didn't like this. I just felt disconnected from it, and again 2X.

Give it a try and let me know what you think, but I wouldn't watch it again.

I needed this to be a movie

Ok, I loved this, to be honest.

The story is about a gay couple (Tzu-Chen Chen & Lei-Wang) who are celebrating their 3rd anniversary. We seem to have a cute moment there... when PLOT TWIST, Lei-Wang is about to get married, to a woman, Nai-Fang Hsu.
Now he's cheating, right? WRONG

ANOTHER PLOT TWIST bitch, turns out Tzu-Chen Chen knows Nai-Fang Hsu because he's her hairstylist and he is supposed to do her hair for the wedding. They kiki and whatnot, her being oblivious to all of this.

So Tzu-Chen Chen & Lei-Wang have one of their usual nights together, but the next morning Lei-Wang is angry at Tzu-Chen Chen because he seems to have lost his ring. We see Tzu-Chen Chen returning the ring to Nai-Fang Hsu, who realizes what's been going on.

Now all of this is intertwined with dance choreography from separate scenes.

I mean... I gagged. All these twists and turns, all the emotional investment and wreckage. This is just purely amazing

10/10 (for me)

HIStory 3: Make Our SOTUS Days Count

HIStory 3: Make Our SOTUS Days Count
?

EP 1: Erm, ok? maybe it's just the start? let's give this a chance ?
EP 2: What's happening? CUTE stalking? cutting up clothes to fail to sew them? that abrupt ending?!?! huh?!?!
EP 3: Bai Luo Yin had a GF, the rest is just pranks. more CUTE Stalking... "I wanted to know how poor you really are"?!?! that director is a piece of ?
EP 4: "You have to suffer if you want to cure me" Because drugging your schoolmate and messing with his health is pure love ?? - Toxic Much? And the acting is kinda horrible, to be honest ...I'm so sorry to say this because these actors are fucking GORGEOUS ?. I'mma break your leg if you don't apologize... erm... RED FLAG ???
EP 5: Now this was good... just normal stuff.. eating, hanging out, going on "dates"... and the music is actually good now, unlike EP1. and 2. and 3,4.
EP 6: Kinda maybe sorta better?! I guess... Why is Gu Hai flirting with Bai Luo Yin if he has a GF? TF?
EP 7: Mama and Papa trying to make things good? BLY knows that GH is rich.
EP 8: BLY gets injured and GH gets mad at YM for being fem?! huh? Also, GH keeps on groping BLY. WTF. GH's gesture for Auntie was kind.
EP 9: GH and LuLu, toxic much?!?! But on the other hand, GH talking about BLY... so touching. And BHQ got a new job. yaaaay... but that cut at the end of the episode... who TF edited this ?
EP 10: GH putting his hand on BLY's privates while sleeping...hmmm. And why is GH jealous of / mad at his girlfriend cheating on him while he is doing the same thing?!?! They found out that they were brothers and BLY can't accept that. I understand that there are SO MANY emotions there but, take a breath and talk it out. Don't rush things. (Maybe I would have done the same thing at his age? I don’t know )
EP 11 & 12: What's with the editing of when YQ came to visit BLY ?, KIDNAPPING?!?! Seriously.. and what with that dinner scene right after the attempted rape scene... wtf? As if everything is nice and jolly?!?! I don't get it. And BLY was told that he has an HBV(and STD) (spoiler he Doesn't ) that he doesn't want GH to contract but GH instead of respecting BLY's wishes/concern... has sex with him (in a rape-y kinda way...NO. Why did YQ yell at YM, like... all of a sudden? And is there gonna be a love triangle between GH, BLY, and YQ? Literally no relationship development between YQ-BLY-YM...NOOOONE. Cute moments here and there.
EP 13: OK, not bad... still no clue about YQ and YM but meh... Finally, a moment where GH said sorry to BLY after being a total dick and super jealous. BHQ❤️ZXY. YESSSSS
EP 14: GH's cousin is a dick... Cudos to BLY for keeping his composure. Mother, please don't enter somebody else's house without their permission. Just wait outside. Thank you.
EP 15: Cute Christmas, That almost-sex-scene ,,, haba-haba ?... and the return of the BLY's ex gf... and we're left hanging

The editing (abruption of an episode all of a sudden and some scene cuts that don't make sense.) wasn't my favorite
The soundtrack... I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER IT. And I'm a sucker for OSTs.
Why are Yang Meng and You Qi on the poster too? they barely had any interaction with each other... so man loose ends... I thought they were gonna be a couple too, but nope

I don't care if it's China or 2016 or whatever... this drama isn't good... I don't understand the cult following, to be honest.

I Want More

Even though it was short it was good. I liked the fact that they were both shy, and awkward, and it just made everything so adorable.
Unlike most Dramas, this one had no real heartbreak moment, just a small: he didn't show up to our "date". But even that was mended so quickly.
And the fact that they slept in one bed was heartwarming. I could see that Chen wanted to kiss Key so freaking much. He was undressing him with his eyes. He wanted it so badly ?.
They talked all night long through text. I would have been like voice messages or video calling ( ain't nobody got time for texting, my fingers hurt )
And the kiss at the end. Just Perfect!!!

Key and Chen will return. ?

a Hot-ish Mess(kinda)

I give it an 8.5 because (and I'm genuinely gonna keep it short):

- I love the story idea overall.. it's amazing... fresh.. new!!! LOVE IT! but

1. Sometimes it felt like the acting wasn't good... like meh... Also, that manequin kiss didn't do it for me.
2. The story's execution --- it felt like some things we didn't get a proper introduction to... like the friendship part (I was like.. wait y'all are friends now? since when?)
3. Pacing... Sometimes I felt like they were dragging some moments (I love those inner thoughts scenes), just making them longer to fill the time... I was this close ? to speed this up a little bit

Leia Mais

Interesting

This was OK... APPLAUSE ... The only thing I didn't understand was the ending... Did Uly say that Cloud couldn't handle the breakup? - What breakup?
1.It was either a dream but it can't be because of the letter and rings.
2. The translation was wrong... break malfunction... but why was he crying?

Can someone please explain it to me?

This was like... sad, sad, sad, happy, sad: Truck-Kun ?
There were some audio issues but nothing too serious.
- The acting in the end.. After River found out about Cloud... he was calling him as if he was a dog, wtf
He barely looked shocked, to be honest.

But hey, this short teaches us to never give up.

8/10

AMAZING!!!

This was one of my favorite BL Dramas.

In the beginning, I was like "WTF, just tell him you don't like him and get it over with" but then I got used to it.

The development of the story was just spot on in my opinion. If I didn't know that they would end up together, I would have said that Wat was just messing around with Tine in the beginning, but that just made it even better.

I wish Tine would have been more open about his feelings towards his friends as well, but at the end of the day, some of us are truly affected by what other people think and want to please others, which is what Tine was doing.

I loved the SoundTrack, even though a tiny bit repetitive still nice.

The flashbacks, OMG I can't... they give so much more depth to the story... I loved it.

Everything from: the small gestures to prove Green that Tine is Wat's Boyfriend, Tne learning the guitar, the cute/silly photo at the concert, Tine seeing Wat naked, "I wanna grab your boobs", the fact that Tine is so oblivious until Wat kisses him, the song dedication, Wat's jealousy towards Mil, Tine realizing his feelings for Wat and expressing them to his friends, Tine defending Wat when he was beaten up, them moving in together, the trip to the woods, Tine and Wat under the rain was just ? and moreover them talking about their feelings, the whole Tine is sick and Pam situation was just heartbreaking, Tine CRYING!!!, Wat singing to Tine at the concert and them getting back together.
And all the kissing scenes ??... I was in love!!!

And the side stories were cute too:
1. Man-Type was so lovely. I ship them so much. For a man to go after his love like that. Kudos to him. You hold on to that Apple Pencil for dear life.
2. Phukong-Mil. I thought that it was good and mature. In the beginning, I thought that they'd hit it off right away, but it was slow and I liked it.

Overall this is a MUST WATCH!!!
Even though I would have loved to see more intimacy, still I loved the subtle things that they did. I was much more attracted to the story than some lusty kisses or touches. PERFECT!!!

My Hones Opinion :

Honest Opinion:
This is the Second BL Drama that I DIDN'T like that much.
Comprised of 15 episodes the first 9 were mostly revolved around the SOTUS hazing, then we start with the real Love story.
There were some long filler-scenes, filler-episodes ( the Flag one ), some missed opportunities.
Regarding Production:
The Audio was OK, sometimes it was lacking, sometimes muffled, sometimes very good.
The Cinematography was OK as well, nothing special.
The Characters: Not Fully Realised. I couldn't connect with Kongpob nor Arthit. At some point, I was more invested in Em's and May's relationship, to be honest ?.
I wish that would have been MORE in-depth conversations between Kongpob and Em since they're literally best friends ( like expressing their emotions or how they felt regarding their crushes instead of just nothing ). And just one scene doesn't count in my opinion.
Also #PremWad. I wanted to see more ?.
I understand that the show is also about the SOTUS method, and I liked the fact that they wanted to incorporate some traditions in there. But I think it was a little too much overdone.
