Review

Cherries in Early Summer is a short web series made from short video clips and mostly pictures. The format reminds me of doujinshi with voice actors. Since the series is so short, they’re a lot of plot holes that make the audience guess on. The flow was good at moments but awkward moments where it’s rushed. However, it was enjoyable for me. I will warn the video quality is poor, and it talks about suicide. The last episode the sound comes in and out. The ending is open for the audience. Not everything explained in the series which causes you to be put off from it. I did enjoy the music and the acting. Its something I wouldn’t expect anyone to go oh this is my favorite. It’s something that you would say like oh yes I have seen it. It is okay.

Nevertheless, I can say it something you could watch to pass the time or take a break from a long series kind of like a refresher. Would you watch it again? Maybe but most likely not. Its something I would recommend to see once.

Review

My Lil Boy 2 gave me mix feelings that I can’t explain. I was only watching to see how it would end. I still have second-hand embarrassment for the characters. One of the main problems in this season is S is changing himself for Bella which in the first season Bella had tried and realized that is exhausting to be someone who you are not. I wish that they didn’t introduce new characters like Toy and Mayrin, to have add drama. I wish they had just worked with the characters that they had from season 1. I would say they drew season 2 out for a good reason except for that season 1 was too short of putting all the drama they want in 6 episodes. However, I think this is the writers’ style for Senior Secret Love Series because Puppy Honey 1&2 is the same way. My attention was lost a few time in this show. I was mostly rolling my eyes at the characters for their dumb decisions and what they were saying. I hate that the characters would ask yes or no question like do you like me and then get an answer like I don’t you should change to fit in my life, you should be you.
As an audience member, I just thought how is that a right answer to a yes or no question. If someone you like can’t answer a yes or no question with yes or no, then move on, they are just wasting your time. I love the characters of Bella’s friends, P’Pang and Aom, S, and Taewin. This season just made me love them. I hate Bella, P’Boss, and P’Orn. Would you watch this again? No, I had an awful time keeping my concentration on this show.

Review

Bake Me Love is a short story that just gave me mixed feelings. I don’t know how I feel about it. The story didn’t catch my attention; however, I didn’t push it away. It had a lot of different plot lines going on that were not explain. I feel the one about the other baker story wasn’t beneficial for the story. The only thing we get is that she was jealous of Mielle. However, how long has she hated Mielle? Why did Kim and his ex break up? Other characters stories left for us to guess what happened? I did love the friendship between Rose and Mielle. I do not particularly appreciate that Rose was stereotype gay. I hate another relationship after all the drama happened and may me feel a bit sorry for one of the characters. However, it showed growth for him. Would you watch this again? No, I feel like for me it was something that I would watch if I had utterly nothing else to watch.

Review

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey is very innocence with love. You have a boy who wants to have a club to help stray dogs and cats. The plot is at the right speed. The acting is above average, and I did like the process of how you see both couples fall in love. One pair is still on the fence of if they are a couple. However, it seems like they are closer to being a couple. Like most drama, there is a problem once the main couple gets close to revealing their feelings. I like how they do show what the club does to help animals. However, I think the main point of the theme is if you are going to face your fears do it in small steps and do it with the people you know. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it was, and the chemistry that the actors have with each other is fantastic. Since it is compact, I would recommend this to everyone.

Review

Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy starts very dully and sluggish. It just couldn’t keep my attention, and I got distracted easily at the begin. It has a lot of moments throughout it that is cringy and gives you second-hand embarrassment. However, once I got close to the end of the second episode, it started to catch my attention. I will say that the romantic plotline is lacking excessively, but the friendship plotline has more depth to it. I feel S and his friends had a normal healthy relationship. However, at times, I didn’t like Bella and her friends’ friendship. I did love the personalities of Bella’s friends. I feel as being part of the western culture to watch it has a lot of red flags about an unhealthy relationship. Bella lies, stalks, and forces her self in S’s life. Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy does not have an unsatisfactory ending. Would you watch it again? No, I feel like for me this is just a one time watch.

Review

What the f*** did I watch? Me and Mr. X Season 3: Goodbye Mr. X is very confusing and messes up towards the end of the series. I will warn that I did not see the last episode because I can’t find it with English subs. This one is if you are looking for end game cuteness you will not get it. The fact that the whole series based on true stories is quite crazy. I will warn there are murder and suicide in this season. Would you watch it again? No, not really. However, I do recommend that you watch it for yourself.
