This BL was so captivating from the very beginning. I didn't expect anything but gosh did it exceed expectations. The storyline was thought out and well-executed. I quite like angst so I got my fair share of that. And there were sweet moments which made me want to sob. I think it's such a well rounded BL and I would definitely recommend watching, and enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions.

I didn't know I was going to soften up to Type's character, but it happened gradually and it was so ... unintentional. I think that's the best thing about the show and acting. It flows well and there aren't weird breaks in-between the plot. There were a few cameos from other couples that I loved too, but I think the main couple's storyline remains to be the most captivating.

When I say this movie is a masterpiece, I'm not exaggerating. It's exactly the type of movie I was looking for. With twists and turns, a steamy romance and an ending that provided closure. There are plot twists and I didn't find myself bored through any of it. Definitely on my top favorite list.

While watching it, I felt so intrigued by the acting. It's done flawlessly and I can truthfully say that it's gripping and beautifully shot. It also does very well in terms of representing the lesbian relationship between the two characters, showing how they built up the dynamic of their relationship.

Odd little side note, but I also loved the trailer. It's the first thing that drew me in.

One of the best BL shows out there

They outdid themselves with "Theory Of Love". The quality was amazing, the storyline was gripping and the acting was compelling. Everything coming together to tell an emotional story that pulls at your heartstrings and has your emotions all over the place.
I'm quite new to the BL scene, but I can say that this one is amazing. There were no scenes where I had to bite down my teeth in cringe and I never felt like the story was going astray or boring. My favorite thing, which I think tied everything together, was the acting. The acting was so moving and you end up sobbing right alongside the characters. Third, especially, was portrayed spectacularly and I applaud the actor for displaying his feelings in such a manner that pulled the fans in.

I would highly recommend this show for anyone looking for something to fall in love with.

Cute but a little lackluster.

Honestly nothing major to say about A Breeze of Love. I think the story was wholesome and but I found myself a little bored even though it is only 8 episodes. It lacks in depth and is instead full of cheesiness and I didn't particularly find much chemistry between the characters.

I think it's a good one off or starter BL, or for someone looking for a surface level high school romance, but honestly nothing that special in my opinion. I'm not particularly fond of lingering shots of every single interaction which is where they lost me a little. I think it could've been improved maybe if we got more insight into Dong Wook's insomnia or a few less shots of silent sunlight scenes and more dialogue. Tell me why I was the most interested in the show during the basketball tournament.

So yeah, cute but a little lackluster.

I had high expectations for Together With Me because of all the praise I'd heard. Honestly, I enjoyed it a lot, it starts off shockingly and I had to make sure I was at the first episode. The acting is very well done and the dialogue isn't cringy. I liked that it wasn't too sweet or sentimental. The rewatch value is low for me because it kind of got frustrating at one point and as much as I love a slow burn, I was starting to lose some interest.

Overall I think BL fans will enjoy it because it's jam-packed with drama, and honestly, I think my rating of it increased because of Yihwa's character. She is one of my favorite BL characters of all time and she kept me hooked!

This was a continuation of Knock and Korn's story along with their friends and it was so much more realistic than Together with me. They faced problems in their relationship, workplace, and with themselves and I have to give props to them for it. It was something I haven't seen in a BL before and I enjoyed it to some extent. I think what annoyed me slightly was the repetition of the same 'cheater' plotline for multiple characters. The reason I gave it a high score was because the last three episodes totally saved it for me. They were honestly so good and I think if you can make it through the first part, the story actually gets better.
What I did love is that Korn and Knock are still playful with each other. Not overly sentimental and not too cheesy. Their relationship dynamic (when it's good) is so well portrayed and I loved the eventual character development of their parents too.
"Love has no gender." -- I loved this quote.
I think the ending provides closure and I will truly miss this cast.

We will be together in every universe (literally)

"The current of time always runs forward. I might already be your past, but for me, you are my future."

I love me a historical and even more so one with an intriguing storyline so this was right up my street. I love how much we go involved in the side characters and some of them went against my expectation of the stereotype which is what I love to see.

It started of sooooo good but I did think the show got a little stagnant in the middle, regardless, I can't fault any of the plot points, they were lovely. I do think there was a little too much of the cheesy lines, and I have a general distaste for the overly produced meticulously placed set and everything feeling a little too clean and polished but that seems to be a current issue with cinema.

The actor for Jom was amazing!!! I can't compliment him enough on his small stubble facial expressions and the way he played Jom was just lovely. Made me involved right away and really sympathize for his situation. The only thing I have to say, which is not his fault but the hair. I could not stop myself from being distracted at the bowl cut and the uniform bangs - a side part never hurt anyone.

The romance was very very cute and I love the lack of stupid conflicts. I think the characters communicate well within their dynamic and they were so careful and sweet with each other - love that. Also the GL side story!!! So happily surprised and I was so here for it!!!

Overall, I think it is one of the best made BLs I've watched in a while and I think the plot is great and the beginning kinda gave a thriller vibes which was fun.

An innocently soft and fluffy story from start to finish.

"How nice it is to fall in love with you."

I appreciated how healthy this was. I wouldn't expect high schoolers to have distinguished words to describe feelings and the clunky authentic way these two did it felt very fitting for the setting the show put together. They communicated so well that there was no space for embarrassment and it's just a wholesome time watching two people fall in love by the sea.

I also really liked how chill Ryuuji was in contrast to Amane. I think the actor did a really good job of portraying the laid back nature of his character which fit very well with his profile.

No unnecessary drama or third act conflict that makes me wanna roll my eyes. It has the vibe of snuggling into a soft blanket with a warm drink.

2 words: guaranteed entertaining

No wonder I kept seeing this name pop up even when I wasn't actively in the BL community consuming the content. Honestly this show scratched everything I needed from a mafia x fighter/body guard/bartender and then some. Honestly has raised the bar for me - I definitely see where all the hype was coming from.

2 things to note though: why were some of the deaths of characters who had a fair bit of screen time not mourned at all?????? Secondly, Pete and Vegas.......... see at first I was impressed cause they started showing Pete's PTSD signs after he escaped from his kidnapping and I thought that was going to lead down a path of understanding how Tankhun's kidnapping changed him too - a sort of cross over moment. Instead it was barely discussed and we just? Are expected to start shipping them? I'm confused. The shift was too dramatic and while I definitely definitely see and appreciate the complexities of Vegas (I think he's the most interesting character in the show) I think there was more time necessary spent on Pete and his recovery before he slips back to him. It makes it hard to root for them at all.

But of course, as with the genre I realize mafia romances are not healthy most of the time, but I will not say much of KinnPorsche. Honestly they were cute for the most part, I thought the cheesy factor took a huge one up the last third which was in such contrast to everything else happening that I felt like I couldn't really appreciate it as much. Also didn't expect to be so involved in Porchay but his rebellious streak got me, want to see him and Kim interact more.

Re: Vegas. I can't help but be drawn to characters like that. Not at all a perfect or even good person, but the way they showed his personality? The cool aloof persona that melted away and he was practically crying more than not for the remainder of the show. His inferiority instilled in by his dad and his urges that he took out on Pete. I found him so so interesting - again! Not in a way to excuse his actions, just. Very interesting element of the show. I was more on the edge of my seat seeing where he was going than the main two in the last couple episodes, I have to admit.

As I speak of him, I think all the characters were, to some extent, there for a purpose so I felt like time spent with them was well rewarded. The episode lengths were so satisfying and honestly, now I'm curious what the dynamic between KinnPorsche is like after this whole Major and Minor family business merged.

The show was shot well, the grandiose of the mafia house was definitely there, and honestly, I loved Porsche's family home. Such a cute house. The dialogue had me laughing and making comments out loud to myself all throughout and I practically watched the entire show in 24 hours so they definitely got me!

Basic but done very well.

I feel mostly the same about the series as I did about the manhwa. I think the story doesn't rewrite the genre in any way or do anything different but it does the basic beats very well. I really enjoyed the visuals in the first episode and I think everything with the production was really nice. It didn't feel overly produced as some things do these days. I loved Jaeyoung's work space and everything about his styling - as I did with the manhwa as well. Everything about him was really well done and he continues to carry this story for me.

Sangwoo got me a little irritated similarly as the manhwa story because I don't think Jaeyoung deserves all the confusion - but they are both stubborn and hence they compliment each other.

Also huge crush on Choi Yuna. Everything about her. Yes.

Now that I've consumed this story twice in different mediums I don't think I'll be revisiting it any time soon, but the artistic components of it I do love and I think will stick with me.

I think this is a cute starter BL and definitely a heartwarming story. I was giggling through some of the scenes and I do wish we got a little more like the final scene of how their dynamic works together post confession.
