2nd Couple takes the lead!

You know how show tend to focus way too much on main couple? This show isn't like this

It is very well-balanced, I really love all the casts (apart from the bandits lol). Not to mention, the music! One of the best OST that really brings out emotions and play at right timing. Till today, I still feel a lot when I heard the OST playing!

I am a fan of SJK character here, but not so much the 1st FL. While I don't dislike her, I won't say I really like her. I prefer the 2nd FL way better. What's interesting is the 2nd FL is actually the one that has the rank, status, etc, yet the 1st FL is the one who acts more spoilt. I don't appreciate how she, more than one time, acted almighty about doctor saving life and solider killing people. Yet, she is the one who NEEDS to be SAVED more than one time. So much talk about soldier killing life! What a hypocrite. That's what makes me lose my respect for 1st FL, and what takes away that 0.5 point from this show! Also, her crying seems to be just filled with tears, without REAL emotions felt

2nd FL on other hand is really strong minded. She also is such a great actress that when she cries, I always cry because I truly feel her. I also love 2nd ML. Overall, I prefer 2nd couple way better and I feel they save the show, especially on the romance side of thing

But to me, SJK remains the star, I am biased, I know but his acting is just so good.

That 2 couples aside, I also love every other cast. There are so many life lessons to learn from each person, whether it's those who died, almost die, and everyone else

I rarely rewatch a show, but i've rewathed this a few times now. And the more. I rewatch, the more I like the 2nd couple.

Despite what I said about the main FL, I still would say this show is very well done. You might just like the main FL, she is just not really my liking as I feel she gets in the way of the ML a lot of times, which is a typical stereotype KDrama!

Again, I feel 2nd FL should be the norm for FL, not the typical " I need to be saved FL!"

Healthiest Jap BL couple!!!

I love how misunderstanding is cleared up almost instantly. I mean, if a high schooler can do this, why can't other BL couples do this? Lol..I also love side straight couple. I am usually biased towards supporting the BL couple, but this is the first show I actually love all couples and enjoy the entire show, without skipping scenes.

Music is spot on. Development is great. Really funny, cute and loving

The only thing is I still don't understand why they break up. I feel like its a plot twist for the sake of. Depsite it, since its a happy ending, I'll take it. Also, since they are in high school, I guess its common to break up easily for no reasons. After all, its their first relatioship and they did really well for that

It seems unlilely but I'm happy for a special episode or season 2, even!

Also, Ida gets cuter at each scene!

Healing from Toxicity!

I love how short the series is. It means fast character progress without dragging.

I admit I was really frustrated with Hira here. How he constantly said sorry, self depracating and esp hate how he worship Kiyoi like God. It just gets annoying at some point.

But, what's beautiful is exactly how Kiyoi has been supportive of Hira

I love how our rude Kiyoi in S1 has grown to become a man who is supportive of Hira, encouraging him to pursue his dream, taking the effort to cook for Hira despite not knowing how. I especially love how Kiyoi says "Don't look up to me but face me"

Its amazing watching Kiyoi grow, and thanks God..it doesn't come to a waste

I'm also proud by progress of Hira when he finally decided that he can be in the same spot with Kiyoi. That's a huge progress from where he was.

I appreciate how each character grows individually as well as a couple.

The relationship isn't perfect (but none is)! Given the context they started out in high school and it's their first love, I'd say cut them some slack before slapping this as toxic.

They are thriving and healing from the toxicity, that's what is important. Many relationship sometimes start out as healthy but also ends up as toxic.

What's important is that they are not falling deeper into more toxicity, but rather slowly coming out of it.

That's how healing work and I can't wait to see the movie now!

I ENJOYED IT A LOT!

I've seen a lot of reviews saying how the relationship is toxic. But, whethere BL or not, most dramas are done that way as it depicts reality.

It doesn't mean I support toxic behavior at all. It just mean it's reflecting the imperfect reality of the world.

I dropped this drama the 1st time round too, because I can't stand how there's bullying involved

But, I'm glad I gave it a 2nd try, because...the story actually developed pretty fast. So, we are able to see the progress and see how things are getting better, even though it isn't perfect

What I wanna say is not to judge a relationship too early. It might started toxic, but the more important part is whether it stays this way, which I honestly won't know till I watch S2 and more

But again, I don't really see people commenting toxic relationship in non-BL show. Somehow, this has been a trend in BL community.

If you're uncomfortable, drop the show, but I feel there is no need to backlash it so much, especially if you didn't finish watching it

Don't we watch BL to enjoy anyway? That's why I give my rating not necessarily on any critical factors than the fact that I enjoyed it. Because, I don't care how "pefect" s a show is, it's pointless if I don't enjoy it

Verdict of this BL?

I really enjoyed it. I love the ending a lot.

The chemistry, the sexual tension building up is so well-done.

I wish they have more hot scenes coz I can imagine how hot it'd be, given the passion!

And I'm glad that they FINALLY communicate (what's new lol)

It's really enjoyable overall, except for some parts

I really like it for the 1st 7 episodes or so and it just dropped....I mainly love how fluffy and cute they are at beginning, esp when they are bickering and teasing each other. I especially love Shin's attitude. He seems to be way more mature than Minato despite the age gap!

I'm glad eventually Minato sort things out and it all work out, but the drag makes me feel a bit frustrated at some point, honestly. I continued watching bcoz I wanna know the ending, which luckily didn't disappoint

I'll still say its worth the watch overall. I was really really happy for most part, just a bit draggy towards the end, which actually is so common in many dramas. Or maybe, im just impatient lol

Oh, I love the music, its so cute that I didn't skip the intro and actually enjoy watching. I also love the setting where we keep seeing ocean, makes me feel like im healing too. Makes me wonder how it feels like to stay in a town like that where the beach is clean. not overly commercialized, just locals hanging out, like big communal family. Must have been nice

Shuuu sensei is so cute!! Thats a brownie point as to why I keep on watching too

All-rounder drama!

It's funny, thrilling and touching at same time.

Somehow I found one of the casts remind me of Joey from Friends, lol. He is that funny!

If you've watched the Korean version before, you'll find the first 2 episodes somewhat familiar, but as it progresses, this Jap version takes its own story, while still keeping the essence of parent story

It's very well done, I especially love the plot twists and ending.

I'll say both the Korean and Jap version are amazing. It's a matter of whether you want to watch a movie or drama, really.

Casts are both great, story are amazing.

It's better than it looks!

I really love the OST, especially the one near the ending! It's a really great show with lovely storyline.

It's a refreshing plot with interesting ways of presenting crimes and police investigation

I especially love the bromance between the buddy. The casts are surprisingly funny and adorable to watch. They might not be your typical visual in drama, but they are really easy on the eyes

I laughed a lot and also cried here and there.

The only thing is it's a little slow in first few episodes, so I though there wasn't much going on and it suddenly took a turn and become a wild ride, with real good ending

Stay tuned and watch till the end.

It's also a nice break from typical Kdrama lol..I found Jdrama has its own style of humor that might take some getting used to. but once used to it, its very nice to watch!

I can die in peace now

The ending scene, its very well done. How simple yet detailed the storyline is, especially how they tie everything together and wrap it really nicely. The kind of ending that goes "if there is no more series after this", i can die in peace lol

But, before I start...I wanna set the premise

This is a special 2 hour episode filled with fluffy sweet lovey dovey scenes. It's more like a "fan service" .

So, if you're looking for major plot twists or sth new, then don't watch it, only to write bad review on it

If you love the couple, like I do (Kluen Dao is my favorite My Skyy 2 couple), then watch this to relive and celebrate their love and romance.

I also love how Kluen sets a new standard for bf! I love how he includes Dao in his plans, implying he already includes Dao as his future partner. It's the sweetest thing a bf can do for you.

Bonus point? Kluen's visual alone is equal to 10 guys or more!

Overall, I was smiling ear to ear with frequent LOL moments throughout the 2 hours. It's a great "feel good" hormone being released. I am a happy me now!

SO sweet I died!

Give this a chance! I realized MDL reviews tend to be really critical sometimes. Honestly, there are many times where I enjoyed the show despite the rating only 7. Similarly, sometimes high rated show isn't as good as it is, it's sometimes just hype.

This show is one of those gem that's UNDERRRATED but WORTH WATCHING!

Oh my gosh, the last episode, it's SO sweet, I died..lol

I love how simple this drama is.

No complicated plot twists, no overly done drama, no toxicity,- just pure, innocent, love.

There are moments we think they could have handled the situation better" But,Bear in mind, it's a youth love after all. I mean, they are still young and learning what love is about, so spare them some grace

Overall, I really enjoyed the show a lot, totally become a fan of Joong after this.

There's one open ending in last episode, but I guess that's because there's a follow-up show after that? I'm not sure, gotta check. Apart from that, as far as the main couple is concerned, its very well done.

Neat, sweet and simple lovey dovey ending :)

Boring and chidish

One of the ML obsession over Tammy just becomes really annoying.

Their interaction is more childish than it's cute or funny. It's a pity since I find Dao really cute actually!

Just when I thought I finally get to watch a non-school setting BL, it turns out this is even more childish than a school setting BL

I can barely get pass episode 1.

It might just not be my style of comedy. Some might find it funny thou.
