Sense of Wonder

What a beautiful tender love story. The time travel element was a little confusing at times, but the overall story was well scripted. The 2 male leads had great chemistry and an affectionate respectful relationship. There were enough teasers to indicate a 2nd season.
Warrior Yai has a different perspective than scholar Yai so there's room for the storyline to be complex and compelling. It would be interesting to see a more intense relationship and possibly more physically passionate one with Warrior Yai. Hopefully, we won't have to wait long for their story.

Two sides of a coin

I watched this the first time more from the female lead's perspective. I thought, "This was a good story"--then, it dawned on me that if i watched it a second time from the male lead's perspective i would get a dramatically different feel for the story. I really don't understand the bad reviews. The second time around I admired and enjoyed nuances of the acting I missed the first time. The main relationship as well as the secondary ones leaves an opening for dialogue about modern relationships and the choices made. The music was awesome. The story had more depth than originally perceived. I would watch it a 3rd time, but I'm going to wait a few weeks to see if the 3rd time offers more insights. The two main leads were very expressive when you add more layers to their thoughts. They were young adults stumbling through what a relationship is and how to develop one. Akwardness, insecurity, intensity, the occasional snippy comment...seems very realistic.

Failed potential

The cast is good, but the storyline is so trite and simplistic that there's not much to work with. I'm watching it mainly to see how it ends but it requires persistence.

I know life and relationships can be messy. However, there is something replusive about the lack of honesty by both male leads. Each of them were using there supposed partners. The storyline progression was sloppy.

This series had potential but fell woefully short of my expectations. I think the cast had more depth in their acting skills than portrayed. For some reason it just seemed sluggish and stilted. It came off as low budget. It kinda felted like a stage play that progressed from act to act with little finesse.

Selfless love

The premise of this series was very touching and appealing. The character development of all the characters was remarkable. Of course, I loved Vic Chou! The female lead did a superb job conveying her thoughts and emotions without speaking. Overall, good storyline and excellent acting. On the negative side there were too many flashbacks. They created an exhausting amount of unnecessary redundancy. It made the series seem choppy and at times hard to follow. This series would benefit from some serious editing. The many instances of selfless love and devotion was heart touching. I've only watched one other series which had this amount of angst, i.e., "Remembering Lichen". I would love to watch this series again, but unfortunately, the redundancy and lack of flow ad nauseam prevents me from spending hours rewatching it. I do need to repeat that the acting was beyond wonderful.

A fun ride

The main couples romantic relationship kept me coming back four times. Every time I watched this movie it was fun. It was sensual. It was like a fairytale.

The story involved testing an adult relationship with progressively complex feelings. It had humor intelligence and sensuality. Obviously I will watch it more in the future.

Could you please remove the 500 word count requirement for review 200 words can be more than adequate thank you. I like this movie enough to try to give a review of it and post it for others to enjoy but honestly the 500 word count requirement is a pain.

Remember 5 Love Languages

The storyline sucked you in and each episode kept you hooked. Episode 16 had me worried. The FL and ML were outstanding. The little girl bears watching for future performances.

Now, the spoilers. The ML was raised by a deviant who tries to replicate himself in his son. The progession of the MLs emotional development may have been the genius of the scriptwriter, but anyone who has grown up in an abusive home can relate. Wether nature or nature he responded like a psychopath. Emotions in general and especially strong ones confused him. He had an inability to feel or express genuine emotions. Strong emotions frightened him. I'll say no more, but if you consider the abuse he suffered the storyline is conceptually believable. I will definitely rewatch this one.

Excuse me... where's the real story

When I read the book, Jade was a kind naive young man. This series version makes him an idiotic simpleton. There's more depth to this story than is portrayed. Overall instead of giving this story a little more true content the series creates a frantic confusing portrayal of Jade. Bedfriends had a complex story line with character development and relationship building. This unfortunate redition is childish and has an undeveloped romantic relationship. Jade is so silly it's hard to imagine him being in love or sexually interested in anyone. Mai definitely has a swoony persona. The series doing a little more justice to his character. I'm going to perservere and watch all 8 episodes simply because I enjoyed "Bedfriends" so much.

Love is worth waiting for

Leo's constant love for Fiat was touching. They had the insecurities of a blossoming relationship but still they discussed how they felt and their expectations. Fiat wasn't a weak person but he was broken due to childhood abuse. Leo was protective and tried to involve himself in Fiat's life without being invasive.

The secondary romance has real potential for a sequel.
They have a genuine love and respect for each other. Leon and Pob obviously we're passionate. It would be disappointing not to have their follow up story.

I really liked how accepting the parents were of their relationship. Their attitudes supported the normalcy of a loving relationship regardless of gender.
