Not what I expected

I wanted to like it really I did. I loved all the other school franchises with the MLS didn’t really grow on me and the NFL either the second couple had better chemistry and the story was just messy all over the place I was frankly very disappointed after being very excited. I really wish they had developed the story better it might’ve been really good in fact I was surprised that I enjoyed the teacher story much more than anything else.
I am not sure I would recommend it and that is very hard for me to say because I really again enjoyed the other schools and I forgot to mention I didn’t feel any any chemistry with the first lead couple again disappointing.

Fui por causa das cenas hot, mas me arrependi pelo contexto e enredo da história do filme

Eu vi algumas cenas desse filme no site mais famoso de 53x0 do mundo. Achei interessante as cenas, e fui atrás. Até que eu achei sem legenda no mesmo site!

Comecei assisti, mas não deu para entender nada, só se prestasse bem atenção na cena você entenderia sem legenda mesmo, e teve cena que você via o que estava acontecendo sem precisar de legenda!

Mas mesmo assim eu precisava entender o contexto do filme, e sem legenda não estava me ajudando muito, mais mesmo assim assisti até o final!

Consegui o filme legendado, graças a uma fã de bl, agora pude entender um pouco do filme, mas mesmo assim não gostei do contexto, do enredo, a história ficou confusa, principalmente no final do filme, pois não mostra o desfecho de dois protagonista, só de um, que foi um final que para mim, bem ridículo!

Tem algumas cenas hot, precisava de mais contexto e mais emoção, pois fui muito rápido essas cenas.

Story

- The story is the perfect blend of hospital/work related plot points and the characters personal stories.
- It's not the most exciting show but that is makes it so great. It a comfort to watch.
- There is romance and my first ship in the early episodes of Kim Jun Wan and Chae Song Hwa did not sail. HOWEVER, there is another very interesting romance instead which I did enjoy after the episodes went on.
- My main gripe is the romance between Ahn Jung Won and Jang Gyeo Wool which felt a bit forced.

Acting/Cast

- All the male leads are seasoned actors with Jeon Mi Do being a newcomer to TV acting but a very well known stage actor. All of them were brilliant.
- The training and effort put in to learning each song for the music scenes could not have been easy.
- Kim Jun who plays Ik Jun's son is the most precious.

Music

- The songs are bops.
- From Me to You is my favourite and you all need to listed to the OST version where Jeon Mi Do shows her actual voice which is very lovely.

Rewatch Value

- This show definitely has rewatch value because it makes you happy.

Finally, A Genuine Dating Show with Minimal Drama and more Friendship instead

Storyline/Plot: Sometimes I question if the show is actually scripted because some goofy stuff happens but you know- let's just hope it isn't.
Cast: (from fav to least)
Kim Se Jun: LOVED LOVED LOVED him because he was literally just a vibe the whole show and he had undivided love and attention for my girl Lee Soe.

Kim Han Bin: Seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE him because he's cute and is a cook!! If there were younger female cast members they definitely would of been fighting for him!!

Lee Nadine: WOW who did not like Nadine? Seriously girl is living the true asian-american dream life. But obviously none of the male cast members would of picked her cause she isn't their type.

Choi Jong Woo: tbh he wasn't much in the beginning and I really did not think he had an influence on Seulki but he really came through during the mud pit fight. Honestly, at the end when Seulki chose him, I cried for him cause his dreams came true!!! He seems super sweet and would be such good bf material!

Lee Soe: I liked her in the beginning, kind of disliked her in the middle and liked her in end. I really felt for her because she reminded me of past self in relationships too. But glad she was mature and really took care of herself and took the time to move on from Yoongjae- so she could be with Sejun!!!

Shin Seul Ki: Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of her at first because she just gave off those vibes lol but she honestly isn't too bad. I really liked how she was able to stand her ground with her boundaries and chose herself at the end of the day. Honestly really thought she was going to choose Jinyoung thou LOL

Choi Seo Eun: She's really pretty and really cool and down to earth!! But her choice in men got me questioning lolol IDK if I would chose

Jinyoung: WOW I understand he was so popular and he was pretty cool but that shit he pulled at the last episode got me questioning. He seems like a genuine guy but he definitely thinks too much- like he was stuck in his head with Nadine and Seulki. He played their whole life future together before he even decided if he wanted to choose them lol. Also I think realistically he wouldn't have ended up with any of the girls just cause his lifestyle doesn't fit with them.

Park Se Jeong: Put her in a show in the US and all the bros would be down for her. Didn't really get to see her much and sad she didn't go to paradise but highkey she seems like those two-faced people??? Just cause that one scene where Nadine told her she was interested in talking to Jinyoung more but she went to Jinyoung first to talk to him....MEAN GIRL VIBES- steal ur bf & act like nothing happen vibes lololol

Jo Yoong Jae: Okay, let's be real, he is good looking and cool. But that plot twist gmfu and just the fact that he couldn't reject Soe didn't make sense and is highkey a red flag. Like he's 32, looks that good- probably had loads of girls chasing him- like he would know how to reject them right??? The whole scene where Soe and him were talking after he confirmed Seoeun's feelings pissed me off. Like she was trying to make him feel better....when she was the one being rejected. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE...
Lim Min Su: Honestly, this girl was boring. She was just there to add drama and create a divide between Jinyoung and Seulki. Didn't understand why she chose Jinyoung twice to go to Paradise- talk about awkward...lol

Shin Dong Woo: MY LEAST FAV- tbh he just smells red flag all over. It shocked me when he chose Seulki during the first rounds of Paradise- although it wasn't all that surprising; just more disappointing because ONE he was basically giving Nadine vibes that he was going to choose her but he chose Seulki instead. SO bro's a LIAR (like Nadine said in that post YT video lmfao). Anyways, it was disappointing because I really thought he was different from the average Asian man but he ain't.
And then the whole Seulki situation was just embarrassing- first their date in paradise was so awkward (like bro doesn't understand boundaries). and seriously even after Seulki told him that she wasn't interested in her no more, he still was trying to pursue her in a sense which was just so bad to watch- second hand embarrassment. OHHH and they way he just switched off after learning that Nadine was pre-med at Harvard was another red flag. Like he really could of been like older brother vibes and given her advice and such you know but he was just like turned off. Which is ironic bc that's what Seulki did when she learned he was a doctor, in my opinion.

Music: N/A
Rewatch Value: Probably won't rewatch just because it's only good the first time seeing it lol
Other Notes: The plot twists were crazy and really did not expect them to happen. Overall, I'm glad I watched the show though because there was minimal drama and loads of friendship and it was just genuine.

For BL lovers, I felt It's a low-key BL story.I believe what they felt for each other was definitely LOVE for the other person. That's why the ending disappointed me a little. Because the one the King fell for was not exactly the queen.

But overall I loved it.I'd highly recommend it.

This drama was really hyped about. I follow a number of kdrama pages on instagram and everyone seemed to talk of this drama. So when I found this drama on netflix, I gave it a go.
This drama didn't really deserve the hype that it got. I think the hype was only because of IU in the drama. IU was top notch. I loved the acting, loved the character that she was given and even loved the back story that her character was given. But just her was insufficient to maintain my interest in the show. I often found myself skipping bits of it. Only towards the end though; the beginning of the drama had me hitched.
My favourite part of the story was when they showed how Man wol and Chan sung had met 1300 years ago. I loved that bit. It was cute and adorable. Even Choi Seo Hee's back story was touching.
The drama was really good but it wasn't great.

Beleza é uma questão de confiança em si mesmo!

Quer dizer, é sobre isso que o drama tenta falar desde o início, mas, é, nós sabemos como essa coisa de "beleza" é padronizada.

A protagonista, desde o início, é mostrada como alguém que não tem confiança nem cuida de si mesma, usa roupas sem graça e não passa maquiagem. Tá, já encontramos um padrão. Não que eu esperasse algo muito profundo vindo de um mini drama pra divulgar a Lotte Duty Free, não é mesmo? O prequel (7 First Kisses), na realidade, também tem uma pegada bem parecida, então vamos lá.

Deixando de lado todo o clichê de dramas fáceis de assistir, não dá pra dizer que a história não tem boas intenções. A trama é, sim, sobre uma "garota feia que fica bonita" depois de ser ajudada pelos tais Mensageiros da Beleza, mas a todo momento os garotos enfatizam que a beleza não é só externa, ela está dentro de você e você é o único que pode externalizar ela para o mundo. Claro, Ahn Gongjoo teve ajuda nesse processo, mas, apesar disso, ela só conseguiu mostrar ao mundo sua beleza quando passou a acreditar em si mesma (ou nos mensageiros, como o Peter Pan aka Chanyeol deixa bem claro. Crianças, acreditem em fadas, ou elas morrem!).

Num todo, esse é sim um bom drama. Não tem nada de muito emocionante, é bem curtinho e previsível, mas vale a pena por conta do elenco principal (risos). Vamos ser francos, né, tá todo mundo assistindo isso por causa dos oppa, eu sei bem haha

Boy not Girl!

The main reason I am rating this lower, Is because the main character Ciel, is played by a female in this movie unlike in the anime where Ciel is played by a male.

There are a couple differences in the movie compared to the anime but besides the main character being a different gender you can overlook them.

Well there is one thing that you can’t overlook that was a main difference in the movie besides the main characters gender and it’s the reason the Aunt was trying to kill Ciel.

Besides these two things, the movie was overall acted very well and parts were played well. the scenes were made in such a way that you were drawn to what was happening in the moment.

The only reason I rated this slightly lower is for the main two reasons overall this is a very good movie and goes well according to first season of the anime.

Solid but trite entertainment

There's definitely nothing new here, but it was still a very reliable watch. The romance was good, there is some decent comedy, the story progresses like you'd expect a story to progress. The main draw here is probably the overly attractive male and female leads. It's fun to watch them engage with the story and each other...mostly because they are pretty and make pretty facial expressions. The story itself is superficial and seems to almost entirely exist as a platform to watch the pretty actors be pretty.

This is the sort of show you watch because it's safe and reliable, like an SUV....not as exciting as a sports car but not ugly enough to be a station wagon. It's the sort of thing you watch when you're feeling blue and want to just zone out and not think too much. There's no deeper meaning, no life mystery, no really even mysteries to solve. You just sit there and watch the pretty people be pretty and win at life....and then you smile and be like, "Ah, if only life were actually this easy/simple."

Yoo Seung Ho plays the character of Dong Baek who has telepathic by touch and Lee Se Young plays the Police Detective Han Sun Mi. I loved YSH in "I'm Not a Robot"! FINALLY! A drama without romance or a triangle love and not somebody fighting over who gets who! Too funny! This a story that is a DRAMA! I enjoyed every episode and didn't have to skip to the next one! Every episode had my focus. This is a rewatch! The main actors were true to their story and the supporting actors were great! Honestly, I didn't think it was going to end the way it did... you know that one part that you try to guess who the real criminal is and when you get to that part... IT'S LIKE "I didn't know that was coming"! DO NOT SKIP TO FIND OUT... You have to watch each episode... it's only 16 episodes so you can hold out! If you do... you will ruin the whole story for yourself. HA! Thank you, writers! I needed the suspense!

I'm giving 2gether a high mark simply because I'm a sucker for perfectly cast Main leads. I think Bright and Win carried the whole show from start to finish despite many plot flaws, unexplored characters and confusing unnecessary scenes. Once you're hooked to Bright and Win, it really doesn't matter how many weird story lines they throw in, nothing matters you'll spend each Friday night analyzing whether in real life you'll be lucky to meet your own Bright or Win. This is the power of a strong casting, the reason why the show 2gether placed Bright and Win in the center of the BL map. Of course people would argue that there should be more chemistry and intimacy between Bright and Win, and that Sarawat needs to show more emotions, but I mean, do you remember all those scenes where Bright will just stare at Win or at Pam, those are the kind of stares that will melt anyone on the spot. It's hard to distinguish who is Sarawat and who is Bright from those scenes. He's simply drop dead gorgeous. During interviews, Bright revealed that Win likes to play around the set and this is why he's Tine. There's that boyish charms and innocence really. This is his first movie. And probably knowing GMM, they will end up like Krist Perawat from Sotus to mainstream character roles. Although Krist still has the Friend.ship show in YouTube with Singto. It will be interesting to see whether they stay with this team ups or they venture with other team ups. Bright had appeared in two new music videos where he plays straight roles, this could be the preview of his next drama projects for GMM as it seems this is something that he really likes to do. As for Win, probably they will pair him up with another upcoming BL actor. But going back to my review. I think the major character that they did not develop is Green. They should have stayed with the story line that he's chasing Tine, simply because its funny and cute. And then later on, introduce Dim so Green will realize what true love is as opposed to him forcing Tine to like him. Pam should have been introduced early on, changing her story line so we can see the progression on how she learns to let go of Sarawat. As for Frank and Drake, these are My Tee main leads, I think they deserve better roles, and not just support roles plus their characters are not really important to the main plot. By removing their characters, Type and Man's story line can be further explored. Finally for the screaming girls, I can't blame them, I will even join their squad and scream right in front of Bright and Win. Probably I'll be screaming even after the director yelled "cut" and kicked me off the set.

This drama is light and easy to watch. It's a must. Highly-recommended. I'm starting to think it's too underrated. It's cliche but not in a bad way. It's not the stupid, poor female lead or the over-confident and arrogant male lead. I have a list of all c-dramas that I've watched and this drama easily made it's way up to the top. No dramatic plot where you have to pull your hair out of frustration because of the leads' stupidity. No in-law problems or money problems. It's just as if you're watching a real-life couple's day to day life.

The chemistry? On top. I'd compare the CP to Love O2O to be honest. The first two episodes will have you thinking that maybe FL is kinda stupid or naive but you can see in the future episodes how mature and forgiving she really is. There's one episode though that may get viewers shocked regarding her sudden change of character but if you actually tried to put yourself in her shoes, you'd see her point. But the good thing is, it didn't drag and it stayed on that particular episode. Music, background and even the audio itself is amazing. The details of the audio really get to me, like it feels so real.

The best thing about this drama is really the CP for me. The plot is so basic since it doesn't include all that draggy stuff but the actors and actresses brought the drama to life. And it doesn't stop on the drama. After watching the drama, I got so hooked that I watched all behindthe scenes, interviews, weibo updates and comments. I'm so hooked to the point that I created an account here after so long just to leave a review. And yes, I do recommend you to watch the behind the scenes too because they made me both sulk for being single. It was so hard to watch them in the drama and the behind the scenes without fangirling.

(A little bit of spoiler. In an interview, they were asked that if they liked someone, will they like the person secretly or will they confess. female lead (Zhang Yuxi) picked confess while male lead (Ding Yuxi YES THEY'RE BOTH YUXI THEY'RE YUXI CP) picked like the person secretly. Then I watched another interview after that hoping to find something, they talked about their first impressions and that made me go like OMG THAT'S IT DGHSGFAUHFAEUHUH. In all behind the scenes, the drama, the interviews, the cp just looked way too natural. Zhang Yuxi looks at him straight in the eyes (both drama and behind the scenes and interview) while Ding Yuxi fails to look at her properly without shying but still looks anyways (both drama and behind the scenes) AND... the skinship level no matter where is high.

Not gonna lie, I tried watching leading guy's new drama that started airing almost at the same time. But I couldn't bear to watch it. Not when this couple will haunt me. The new drama is said to be amazing and I have long placed it in my To-watch list. But I just couldn't. I have watched female lead's dramas (My Little Princess, I Cannot hug you) and I really gotta say that her characters really fit her, or should I say she brings life to her characters. But she had the best chemistry with Ding Yuxi and vice versa.

Rewatch value: 100/10. Why? Because this drama only finished the english subs for the last episode yesterday but I've already watched it over and over again. There are many dramas that are waiting for me, but I can't seem to leave this one. Since this drama has just finished subbing, I plan to rewatch everything including the behind the scenes or make recommendations for other dramas that I have watched.

Thanks and Support this drama lots please!

ALSO, THEY RELEASED A SPECIAL EPISODE WHERE THEY SWITCHED LIVES AND THEY ALSO JUST RELEASED A MUSIC VIDEO TOGETHER. INTENSE LOVE FANS ARE BEING FED WELL <3

If you love optimistic plots or sheer sincerity, this one is for you

I am at a loss of words. The writer did a phenomenal job to write all the dialogues with perfection. I am used to Chinese,Thai or Korean shows. Many a times the words are fillers and have nothing to do with the story line. Here every spoken word or gesture meant something. There were lots of extra characters but apart from the mom and the side FL, I didn’t dislike anyone. The main theme, metamorphosis of the ML instead of the FL was so refreshing. It was quite realistic to see the insecurities of the male lead and his longing. For the FL, I absolutely adored her positivity and optimism. In many ways she was as dejected as the ML but her belief in humanity gave her the contagious germs of contentment and trust. Everyone around her felt the same after meeting her.
The other amazing theme was no matter the time lapse, the leads were very faithful without realizing what they meant to each other. It’s hard to find dramas with this much sincerity.
For the side couple, I loved how the purity of the girl fought the demons of the SML. Again, it was a pleasure to watch an older man with a younger girl. Normally all age gap themes are Noona shows.
The 20 episodes felt like watching a peaceful stream. 14 and onwards were a stream that went through steep meandering. The focus changed from main theme to all the side characters. It seemed like a season 2 of the first part but the 2nd season was well executed. To me it felt even shorter as a lot of the time was dedicated to the FL’s mom and her so called protégé daughter. I have no sympathy for characters like these who make other people’s lives miserable year after year till eons. One fine day they become angels and the reel life shows them as characters who should be forgiven and even loved more than every other character of the show. The mom reminded me of the Korean tv moms who ditch their kids and come back at adulthood after brutally damaging the childhood of their kid. The kid had been longing for them and now will even feel bad for the MIA mom that it must’ve been a hard choice for her to leave. Good for them but I don’t like selfish characters(just my opinion) so yup anything after episode 14 still connects with the main theme but is a distant off shoot. Oh the trio of cute bad guys… what was that? So so so cute. Looked like a very faithful Humpty Dumpty. Btw His two minions wore these coolest white pants with cheetah face, bro I want that pant- ha ha.
The backdrop was beautiful. The small mountainous beach town looked pretty in every scene. The scallion(green onion) picking, seaweed farming and the ring making scenes were unique and a treat to watch.
All in all I enjoyed the well written closure to every character. The Leads were excellent actors who did justice with their written characters. Their chemistry was amazing and romantic scenes were well performed. Overall this was a heart warming wholesome treat.
