Love for Love's Sake

The best bl series of 2024 and one of the bests so far , even i consider it the best asian series of 2024 so far . Even though the actors were their begining in acting and two of them are idol they made a huge impact on bl series and i appreciate every moment of it.

The only complain i have about this show is the poster ,cause when first i saw the poster i thought it will be a school normal story but once i decided to watch it ,everything was opposite what i thougt .

Apart from their acting i liked the cinematography so much and the music was so great and the beuty of the actors was something that made me follow all the 4 main characters on instagram .

This was truly a breath of fresh air. The plot was new and refreshing and really pulls you in. I have never ever seen a transmigration BL and did not expect much story wise so I was really surprised by how wonderful and unique the approach was. The acting was quite good as well and I quite enjoyed the chemistry between the main leads. It has an air of melancholy that I especially like and the characters are so likeable (yeowoon ily<3). I'm just happy there are more and more high production queer shows coming out. This one quickly rose to the top of my favorites and I really hope to see the same actors in other shows! Do give this a watch, it's so worth it!

As this is the first kbl of the year there are most likely high expectations. Since recent years we've got some great bls from Korea, and I'm excited for what 2024 will give us. As someone who's watched the first 4 eps (will do w the others) more than 10 times, I can say this is one of my favs. If you say that you didn't enjoy a singular scene after watching the whole show, you're lying to yourself.

Very SHORT Summary: Tae Myungha, who is originally 29, is transported into a simulation where he is 19. His one mission is to make Cha Yeowoon happy, but if he fails to do so then he will face death.

LIKES:

What is there to dislike? This show has brought nothing but surprise to me. Not in a bad way, in a good way. It isn't repetitive like other bls. This one is one of those where you're unsure what is up next. It follows the mains and has you wanting more. It was Thursday (the day eps 3&4 came out) and I didn't want them gone. They're so cute that you just want to put them in your pocket. I even had hoped the weekend would end sooner due to the fact it would be closer to the next episodes.

DISLIKES:

. . .

IN CONCLUSION:

You most definitely NEED to watch this if you are debating to. This is one of those shows that hooks you the first episode. Could it be confusing? Yes. But it clicks after the first few eps. Others may disagree but I couldn't ask for a better kbl to start off 2024. This may take the #1 spot with Semantic Error and The Eighth Sense.

Who would I be if I didn't add this amazing quote? (From EP 8)

"I finally realized that every answer I had hoped for was in everyday life that's too mundane to be "fate", yet too beautiful to be " chance." Happiness must be hidden somewhere in my each of our days. "

Things are bound to happen, whether you want it or not. It may not be determined by a supernatural power, but it wasn't just a possibility. You make it happen with how you continue on in life, and I hope you can reach happiness just like Tae Myungha and Cha Yeowoon, whether it's through love or not.

Soooo I'm not like a BL fan, I'll watch something if the plot seems good. And seeing edits of it on tiktok back when it released piqued my interest , so i had to check it out! Little did i know i stumbled upon one of the best romance dramas I'd ever see. But seriously this drama was so incredible that I'd genuinely, personally, put it up against some rather large scale kdramas like mr plankton. IMO. I adore the actors and their chemistry, I think they did such an amazing job. And the storyline itself is so so well done. It expressed young love and mental health contrasts so well. I'm a 15 year old girl and I see myself in yeowoon hahaha. The cinematography was also beautiful. I don't even know what else to put except for the fact that I even read the entirety of its novel, keeping up with it as it kept releasing. And I don't really do that, ever. I'd love love love to see more from the directors, writers, and actors. It's obvious that the entire team is so talented. It deserves so much more attention.

I really like this movie! I hope there's season 2 huhuhu. I really love their chemistry! 8 episodes is not enough, there has to be season 2. I found the movie to be a captivating exploration of these themes, leaving a lasting impression on my cinematic experience.
