Quite disappointing
I was not meaning to watch this so soon but seeing the hype online I thought to give it a go, especially after finding out some of the creative team behind it were also involved in “KinnPorsche”…but I was highly disappointed.It just didn’t deliver like it should, considering the plot had so much potential. I was honestly glad it was over.
Overall not an awful watch.….but will I be rewatching it? Probably not.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
2 personnes ont trouvé cette critique utile
As much as I loved the show I was not happy with the ending, I felt everything was packed into one episode.....I'm probably just been a greedy viewer but I need some type of closure, and I think the only way is to have a season 2. Like they're so many questions that needs to be answered...like did 21st century Hae-Soo go back to her normal life?...what happened after she left the museum?...what actually did happen to the Goryeo era Hae-Soo when 21st century Hae-Soo took over her body?....So many questions and I think they can only be answered by having another season. Which is probably never gonna happen.
I really hope they do end up having another season because when you think about it, the other versions had a sequel.

This surprised me
I went into this not expecting much cause I find shows produced by Gmmtv are not usually well fleshed out.But I was quite surprised with this one. The acting wasn’t the best (especially from the side characters) but it was an entertaining watch. And it did have several cringe moments but the main leads chemistry made up for it.
Would I ever watch it again? Probably not, but it was a fun.

This was a beautiful watch…..with a lot of angst.
I vaguely remembered what happened in ‘Unintentional Love’ but I do remember loving these two cause their chemistry was unmatched….I enjoyed this sequel as I do love a good angsty show, and this was done right - but, the ending definitely left me a bit unsatisfied.
I was expecting a time jump…or more scenes post ‘Unintentional Love’. A shame really.
It was also nice to see Gong Chan’s little cameo. It was to be expected, but it would have been even nicer to see him with Cha Seo Won.

This was such a brilliant watch.
A realistic look of queer couples without fetishisation. Loved it! We need more of this….South Korean & many conservative countries need more of this…..Having this would educate so many people & make them realise queer people exist too and are like everyone else.Yon Tae-yun’s story was definitely the highlight for me. I couldn’t help but be happy for him…..Literally bawled my eyes out. I’m so glad he had such a supportive girlfriend (Min-Jun) and mum all through the process. It couldn’t have been easy.
I’m happy for the other couples too. I really do hope they all have a happy life, even if their relationship does not work out.

Had so much potential.
This became very painful to watch. Partly because of poor Chan-kyu..he was the most genuine out of all of them and they were all blind to it. It was so frustrating to watch. He seemed like such a sweet guy. I hope he meets/has met a much better partner that would appreciate him after this.
I pretty much skipped majority of the last few episodes just because of how frustrated I was for him. I hope the next few seasons are much better.
Overall though it’s nice to see a queer reality show from SK. Was never on my bingo list. Hopefully this opens the door for many more. And starts a positive conversation in their society.

Oh dear….
I have so much to say about this but I truly do not know how to put my thoughts into words without it becoming a tangent so I’m gonna try my best.Someone described it has a proper queer movie & I could not agree more! It had everything you could ask for…passion..angst…EVERYTHING!
I started off the movie gutted I hadn’t watch it a lot sooner…if only I had remembered why I initially didn’t watch it the first time it was on my radar…If only.
It’s honestly been a while since a queer movie moved me - or got a reaction this did out of me…I literally bawled my eyes out (non stop) in the remaining half of the movie.
I do have to say I went in blind not fully reading the synopsis due to the fact that many synopsis on here tend to contain spoilers, then about 5 minutes in I thought to come back and read it properly. While the thought of something tragic happening did cross my mind. I was not expecting what I got cause I thought ‘gone are the days of queer cinema with sad endings’…..How naive I was.
Lastly, I know this is fictional - but, Kosuke was definitely a godsend to that family and I could not help but hurt for him.
The cast did a fantastic job portraying these nuance characters. We need more of this in Asian queer cinema…of course with more happy endings.

Heartwarming watch
This was an heartwarming watch. I only watched it because I recently discovered its tv adaptation. Thought it would be ideal to watch this before the new one adaptation.There were a few dialogues I disagreed with watching this but putting myself Sugihara’s shoes definitely makes you understand his way of thinking.
It all does come down to cultural differences I think. Looking forward to watching the TV adaptation.

A ‘meh’ from me
I was hoping I would love this but I truly struggled. I’m not one to skip scenes but towards the end I couldn’t help but do so.And to be honest, I was not expecting much as I tend to avoid watching pre 2020 Thai BLs cause I remember how much I struggled with them back then.
But watching ‘Not me’ prior to this gave me a big push cause I wanted to see ‘Off & Gun’ in something else.
While I wouldn’t recommend this, it’s not a full right off. It’s more of a reminder for me to not bother with older Thai BLs.
The scenes with the main couples were great though. They did a good job with what they had. And Gun is a fantastic actor per usual. He has a way of showing emotions in a way many actors in this genre aren’t able to.

What a let down.
This sequel was definitely not what I expected. The cast did a brilliant job but I wish the screenwriters hadn’t used the trope they decided to go for. It’s unforgivable in my opinion. But I guess the writers wanted us to feel those emotions. At the end of the day life isn’t black and white, it’s complicated. And the hearts want what it wants in the end. In all, I would have probably been satisfied without this sequel. But I do appreciate the work. It was definitely not an easy story to tell.Cet avis était-il utile?
Japanese Version of ‘God’s Own Country’ & ‘Brokeback Mountain’
I can see why it was compared to ‘God’s Own Country’ & ‘Brokeback Mountain’. It does have that vibe. Only we didn’t get a gut wrenching ending. So, I highly recommend. It’s a refreshing watch.It was also nice to see an establish Japanese actor in this. Loved Yûki Furukawa in mischievous kiss series.

So ahead of its time. Bravo!
I’m surprised I’m only just watching this…although it does feel like I’ve watched it before. I won’t be surprised if I watched it before ….It was so ahead of its time. Even though it’s short, it’s definitely better than some of the recent stuff that’s come out of Korean LGBTQ+ productions. It was also really nice to see many familiar faces in this. What a brilliant watch.Cet avis était-il utile?
This was way better than the 1st season!
Jun-Seong & Sung Ho carried the show. You literally get to watch them go from being friends to falling in love (partly due to JS shall I add).I truly feel like this season was made for both of them to meet. Just like how I believe Love is Blind (US) season 1 was the universe bringing Cameron & Lauren together.
PS: I can’t be the only one who thinks Seon-Woo slightly favours the actor Ji Sung. It’s all I can think about anytime he’s on screen lol.

This was FANTASTIC! We need more of this!
This was absolutely brilliant! I’m surprised it was never on my radar. And the message behind it is so good too. What a find this was….Loved every single minute. And the cast did a fantastic job! The actor who played Black & White did a terrific job. I definitely need to check out his other stuff.I’m contemplating watching the other drama he did with the actor who played Sean, but the reviews are putting me off, cause I can’t stand storyline with toxic beginnings. But they had such a fantastic chemistry that I’m willing to watch it just for them. Hope they get to do more projects.
Also the soundtrack to this was so good. Hats off to whoever was in charge of that, cause I was Shazamming pretty much every new song that came on.

Better than I expected!
This was absolutely brilliant! The chemistry between the main leads was out of this world. And the cinematography was just beautiful. Definitely in my top 2 favourite Thai series. I will definitely rewatch this at some point. Super gutted it took me is ling to watch it…..Both actors did a brilliant job with their characters!Cet avis était-il utile?
