So I finally get to see this movie. I saw this movie trailer like 4-5 years ago but couldn't find it but thank god that I finally get to see this. I might have not wrote a review but the low rating and lack of reviews pushed me to do so. It's gonna be a long review. So first reason I cud think of on why it has low rating is bcoz not really many people watched it and it's really hard to find this movie. Second is, the movie is pretty short and the story is not that great compared to other gay movies and all. But what I'd like to point out is this movie came in 2011 and not the forget it's a Korean movie. Korea a place where people still think being gay is a disease even in 2020. Also korea is really not good with the idea of gay relationship even though they love shipping 2 guys from same group together. Talk about weird. Anyway this story might not have a happy ending n all but whats potrayed is the reality many gay relationship suffers in korea and many other countries including mine ( I'm gay and living in india). What I liked about the movie was the plot. It's unique considering it was made in 2011 and it directly pin pointed the reality. What we see is what's happening in real. Also both the male leads were great actors in showing the emotions the character were feeling. It was sad. Made me cry too a bit but I'm just an emotional fool so who knows

Story/Plot: The plot the concept of the movie is what I liked. What I didn't like is that its only an hour long and it ended pretty quickly. Just wen u r getting immersed into the character n get to know them, it ends. You don't get too much details and depths. But again as I said its 2011 movie so I don't blame them. The plot is still great for me and I love it

Acting/Cast: Both the actors potray the emotions pretty good. I won't say I haven't seen better acting or cast but they did well enough. Probably must b very awkward for them to work in a gay role. Still their sweet romantic scenes as well as wen the older one cries it hits my heart. U can see in his eyes the sadness even wen he smiles on camera. Its some good shit

Music: It music is more or less blehhh. Its ok nothing great though. But I wud recommend you to hear the song in the trailer of it. It's called 'Swan Song' by Robin Gray. Its really good. Suits the movie

Verdict: If you take into account that its a 2011 Korean movie and not compare it to recent movies then I think you might quite like it. Its sweet at first then sad and just pure heartbreaking in the end and I love a emotional rollercoaster. Watch it seriously

Hand's Down The Best BL of 2020 and all my Life

Now you might think I'm crazy for rating it 10/10 on everything but hear me out. First I'm not a teenage girl but a 24 year old guy who is gay and have been watching BL since 2013. So when I rate this a 10 there is a reason.

This series is soo well written and everything makes more sense than just useless drama in other BL's. Every character, every couple, every plot is written soo well that it makes me wonder where these wonderful writers and directors were all this time. Also what I like about this series is the way they subtly have countered all the usual cliche in BL we see. For example in Ep9 they start this Top/Bottom issue out of nowhere but also counter that idea by the end of the episode. Watch it to know what I'm saying. Just like that this series keeps countering such cliche and issues we usually see in other BL drama.

Acting/Cast: Every actor of this series is handsome or cute I guess everyone can agree on that lol. And they all give superb performance. Ill start with the couples since we get to see 4 couples 1 main and 3 sidecouples not that it matters since all of them get equivalent screentime and reasonable development in every episode which is another good aspect of this series. They didnt fucked up their couples like Why R U?

Bohn/Deun(Cooper/Poy): So many people started to get annoyed by the main couple as the series progressed and while I agree that they get a bit annoying sometimes they are still absolute sweethearts and Deun(Poy's) smile can light up your day. We see a lot of jealously, bickering and immaturity in this couple throughtout the series. Deun who has always been single his own life and shy and innocent is not able to show his love and Bohn being immature and hotheaded always jealous. But this couple resembles a lot more to real life

So this is not a typical BL series which we watch. No lovey dovey stuffs. But what we see in this series is close to the reality.
As the title suggests, the series definitely potrays the effects of one's action. This series deal with major issues which exists in real life.
1. Kheng potrays the reality of life that nothing is perfect. Even though he is smart handsome and perfect on the inside he deals with issues like his family who wants him to study something he doesn't like and over expectations. Also a family who doesn't love their child but only care about their reputation
2. Shin a close, shy introverted guy who is uncomfortable to make new friends something all introverts face. We all want friends but just the shyness stops us. I'm introvert so I relate.
3. Bright even though not much coverage to him but I like him a lot. Also we see how he pays for people just to please them. A issue maybe people face I'm not rich so I don't know. But its shows how people use you only when they hav a profit. N people like these are better cut out of life.
Other than this you learn all the harmful effects one's action has on another. Like social media. How people can just type something on comments and hurt someone. It shows the dark side of the social media and people who just make assumptions start rumors without caring for others feelings. Also rape. They show the after effects one has after this both physically and mentally. At one point you decide that committing suicide is the best way to end the pain. Also how important it is to have support from your friends and family . How it could help you in hard times

Finally would I call it a BL drama ? nope. But its a must watch. Coz not everything is rainbows and unicorns and this shows the reality of life. Also next time you hate comment remember what effects it can cause on someone's life. Thats all don't watch it if you can't handle the reality or if u r expecting BL cos its not

The concept of the story is something new and different which I like. Always appreciate a good plot. Ohm and Singto have a great chemistry. I love this couple. The only complain I can have is that its short. Only 8 episodes are not enough to fill my hunger lol. The cast of this series were pretty good. Singto and Ohm are both really great actors no doubt. Also the side characters were pretty good too. Its definitely worth watching. Also would have loved it if it had season 2 but I don't think thats gonna happen but I'd love to see Ohm and Singto in other projects more

I was skeptic to watch coz if change of cast and production. This is not a continuation of season 1. More like another adaptation in itself. They tried to put story of whole season1 in first 3 episodes and it felt rushed. I don't like the actor casted as Phana hands down don't care if u disagree.
He is gud but I cud feel no chemistry between him and Wayo. He did his best but not gud enough. Other couples MingKit and ForthBeam and truly satisfied with the actor and their acting. I liked old cast but the new one didn't dissapoint me at all. Kit was damn adorable and Forth was damn hot lol. Wayo was cute too but i prefer old Wayo. Honestly PhaYo is the only one I had problem with I'm sorry. In later episodes putting them felt soo forced. I was enjoying MingKit the whole time. I wish they casted old Wayo back and a different Phana since I didn't like first one either. Anyway its a gud one and since thr is season 3 coming stay tuned though I'm not sure how it will go

Not Everyone's Cup of Tea

You must have already seen the reviews half of them are like really good the rest are really bad. There is no middle ground.

Before you start this series let me warn you its not everyone's cup of tea.

STORY : The plot of the story is great. Now what people mostly are complaining about it is how slow paced it is and dramatic. If you dont like dramatic series just dont bother to watch it coz you will end up being one of those assholes who gave negative reviews n comments. Yes I do agree it is slow and some scenes are too stretched but if you like drama you might like it. I did. All in all the story isn't bad at all. Its all about your preference. Dont watch it if you dont like dramatic series. The ending 2 episodes somewhat felt like rushed. Too much happening at the

ACTING : All the actors delivered what they were given to work with. I think everyone did a great job, even the side characters. Now some people are complaining about the lack of acting n chemistry in main couple. But honestly I like it. Individually Ohm acting was pretty great. The character of Dean is supposed to be like that so cant blame him and Fluke, well I've known him for a long time and he is a great actor. About the chemistry considering it was Ohm's first series I think he did a pretty great job. He's new so I can understand. Also the chemistry wasn't all that bad like people are exaggerating. Its good. I liked the interactions the flirting and all. In and Korn were great their acting and chemistry really shined. Would really like if they had their own series. Overall the acting was really great. The only complain I cud have was Pharm literally crying in every episode. A bucket cud be filled with those tears literally lol. But Fluke is a great actor can't deny.

Please don't watch the cut version in YouTube

I was holding on this series for long but I finally finished it and I'd like to express how I feel about the series

First of all it's definitely not perfect. For some reason the show feels slow and if u watch the cut version in YouTube you are doomed coz u don't understand anything. So i recommend go to some pirated site where u will get uncut version of this.
The show is simple. Each character were given some kind of story and their redemption which I really like about this show. Most shows just don't pay attention to side characters much but here every side character had their own personality and story and later redemption which is something new in BL series...... As I said the show is slow but what saves it is the actors. All of them including side actors. The 2 male leads were very sweet and I got to see the range of acting Nut (the actor playing Phob) has to offer. His first series Oxygen his acting was kinda plain but then again I read the novel and the character was like that also maybe the team was not gud with direction. Nonetheless here he showed exceptional performance. He conveyed every emotion beautifully. The other actors did a great job as well. The show also addressed few issues like abandonment, trust and communication issues in relationship, obsession, deceiving and more. Ofcourse these issues weren't in the limelight they were more subtle and solved but yeah it's there if u pay attention.
I tried not to get spoilers so the ending was kinda nice. They didn't sugarcoat it. It was kinda bittersweet and I loved that

Finally, I won't deny that the show feels pretty slow and boring at times but it's the characters that kept me glued in and the acting was superb. The concept of ghost meet human is not too common and there is nothing out of the box here either but the acting and the ending really made the show. Ofcourse there might be some who don't agree to this and that's fine people have different tastes. For you all I can say is try it yourself. I'll be looking forward to more roles from Nut now

I'm fucking surprised it's rating is still above 8+

The fact that it's rating is still above 8+ considering it was such a mess just proves my point that the production definitely took full advantage of popularity of Saint with all those fan services and people bought it.

I don't wanna be bitter but when you review the series you review it as a whole not just focusing on one thing which somehow has happened here thus the 8+ rating

I didn't review this earlier coz I thought I'll watch the special SaifahZon part first and then judge it and boy oh boy the disappointment. At this point I feel like the production was only hopping that the loyal fans will just support them (which they did) no matter how many mistakes they make.

Now someone will say that it was ruined coz of pandemic but lemme tell you honey deciding to put 5 couples in a series it was doomed to be a mess from the start.... Even b4 pandemic it was a mess.... Fight me if u think otherwise.

Again I might come of as very salty in my review but see this series they nailed the SaintZee plot line.... Even tho not the greatest but it was good acceptable . And ofcourse both the actors were exceptional . But other than that can you just tell me that they did justice to other side couples ? Like wat were they thinking when they added so many characters with no screentime and nothing to develop ?

If it was just SaintZee couple it wud have been perfect. But they tried to be over achiever and fucked up.... And you know what ? I feel bad for the actors more coz they didn't get to show their full potential... They could have done soo much cud have given soo much depth to story but all the talent went to waste coz of poor writing and editing.....

The SaifahZon special was one thing where they cud have redeemed themselves but nope inspite of having time they still fucked up. It felt like random clips stuck together since the fans asked for it.... If no one asked for it I doubt they wud have even bothered to make it.... The production just seems lazy to me.... Again they highly relied on Saint and nothing wrong wid that but they shouldn't have addded all those extra couples and characters if they can't bother to give their character any notable development or screentime for that matter... One good thing I can say is that the actors.... They were all great. Everyone did their part exceptionally no complains to that.... Besides that there is nothing gud I can say to compliment the production team

That's all and I understand u probably like this series coz u love FighterTutor but I reviewed this series as a whole SINCE THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 5 COUPLES NOT JUST ONE !!! But well I just hope I can see the other actors in a some other series where they actually have a good fucking script and where they can show wat they are capable of

First of all to all people who didn't like this movie or rated it low. You guys clearly don't understand the beauty of this movie.
Not every lgbt movie has to have a cheesy ending nor end up wid suicide. The movie is way more deep and I'm all for it. Besides it's a korean movie n we all know how they are when its comes to lgbtq movies but this one didn't dissapoint at all. The only complain I can have is it was too short like 1 hr I wish it was longer with more scenes of both male leads but I'm ok with it

Acting is really good specially by Oh Seung Hoon aka Young Woo. To think its his first movie and also a lgbt one for dat he outperformed really well. He's like my new favorite. His acting gave me chills.
Finally the story some might complain is short or sad ending but thats wat makes this movie unique.

Well finally finished it and yes obviously it doesn't live up to the expectation from season 1. That being said instead of comparing both season I'll just review the series

Most people are here complaining about Saint but honestly nothing could have been done and they did the best they could .... Tho they could have clearly explained why Pete left but they didn't all they did is mentioned it was coz of his dad which is really easy to miss..... Ae being all emo whole series could be annoying to most but what other emotion should be expected after breaking up I don't know so I wasn't much bothered
Now comes to TinCan . From what I observed I feel they didn't have enough material to make a whole series on this couple hence they started re-telling the series AGAIN !!! I wouldn't have mind but i felt the scenes from s1 were better but I could ignore that. A simple solution to this tho would have been if they made all the side couples main couples and gave them equal screentime to make the series but well ..... I love TinCan and both Mean and Plan are great actors they really saved the series since the script was shit... What I didn't like was their kissing scenes. Cringe asf. Mean obviously was trying and we all cud see that but Plan really was out of place.... I used to cringe soo hard seeing Plan in kissing scenes but that aside they acted well
For side couples Techno/Kengla they were good would have preferred if they had more screentime and the scene where Type punches Kengkla . Anyway they both are great actors
For Tum/Keen they didn't even go deep in their story I mean I'm ok wid them shifting from Tum/Tar really but it would have been better if their story had more development since Keen is soo cute but well that's gone in drain
For Tul/Gonhin i liked their story. A little more of their past if were shown would have been better as it would fulfill screentime and more depth... In s1 Tul was just asshole but here we get reason for why he was like that which I like... Both actors were really great. Would like to see them in another Bl series together someday. Also the kid in s1 was far better in acting than the one in s2. Seriously. No hate tho the kid did wat he can.

Finally all in all obviously it's not all good specially if you compare it to its predecessor but still not bad either... All the actors did well it's the script that sucked. If they didn't have enough from TinCan story line they could have just added more time and development to the side couples instead of all the re-telling bullcrap.... I'd still rate this a 7 since it does give closure on the couples from season 1 and the actors since they did a great job (expect Plan's kissing skills) lol

It is the best short series I have watched in a while

First of all, why is it below 8 star rating is beyond me seriously. I've seen worse series with higher ratings.

Nevertheless, I loved it. See I'm the type of person who enjoys these cliche romcom slice of life type of shows and while most series fuckup in one way or another either be the acting or story or the length for me this checked all the marks for it being perfect all aspects atleast for me. (Also if you are not into light-hearted series then clearly it is not for you and you should look for something else)

Anyway the acting was obviously excellent even more so by our adorable Yechan. I've seen some comments saying it was too childish but people forget that he is only 20 and in a village no less where he is not exposed to too many things and lives a relatively simple life. The cinematic is to die for honestly. It made me remind of my hometown (Nepal). Whenever I go there I feel that same serene calmness and the series portrayed that serenity and friendliness of village people perfectly. I'm tired of all BLs made in city setting as they obviously get dull but I liked this new take on showing the rural side and got to say it's very similar to Nepal where my hometown is. Also I liked the story it was simple sure but that's what we like no complicated unnecessary drama no conflict and no misunderstanding. All issues were usually solved in the same episode and never stretched out like some series do except that father conflict but that makes sense. Even that ex Inseo issue was solved quickly ( still can't forgive that bastard for making Yechan cry) Also the story was paced quite well in my opinion. Yechan obviously fell for Yul in due time and I read some people complaining how the ending felt rushed however I don't think so. It was evident that Yul also had good feelings for Yechan even before Yechan confessed. It's just that he didn't wanna confirm it cause of Inseo but also Yechan is quite younger than him. But eventually he sees his determination and finally decides to be together. Anyway overall the best series for me in a long while.

I can write the whole ass essay pointing put what I like but hey just watch it youself and perhaps you will find the beauty in it. (Also highly suggest to those who like simple dramas and romcoms and also those who love that rural vibes or miss their own village) To others who are not into slice of life just ignore it.

Lately I've been seeing a trend where people have started to scrutinize the cliche tropes but honestly what is wrong with that? It's all about how they act these cliche scenes and how they are executed. I for one don't mind cliche so if you are a dumbass like me than go head and watch

The story concept of this drama is what attracted me. The start was on a hight but the more the drama progressed it got downhill. Korean dramas no matter what is the concept they tend to have same lead role problems kimd off similar dramatic scenes. But all in all I enjoy the series a lot. Its definitely worth watching coz I saw it twice. And one of my favorite thing in the series is the OST. Its nice to see Kim Hyun Joong act as the lead as well as sing in it. The song 'Just for My Love' is my favorite in this. I cud hear it all day long. The actor are great. Some faces I recognized and they are great actors. And also Lee Shi Hoo . He's sooo handsome. Anyway its definitely worth a watch
