Manner of Death

I was a Bright fan of BrightWin fame, then an OhmNanon fan, and now a fervent MaxTul fan all because I clicked on Together With Me (KornKnock) on YouTube. But Manner Of Death is incredible and on a totally new level. It's not the typical cliche BL series about school life. It's a suspense and thriller whose main protagonists happen to be two incredibly handsome, charming and suave men who fell in love at first sight and got caught up in a complicated murder mystery case. It's so good I binged on all 14 episodes in less than 2 days and crave for more - just like so many other viewers! And it's now showing in many countries and translated into many languages, and a new sequel series is coming up this year! Hope they have a new Manner Of Death season and a new Together With Me (KornKnock) season every year!

Manner of Death is a BL series that doesn't just focus on romance. It's a mix of action, mystery, and thriller, with a bit of romance sprinkled in, which I actually really enjoyed. The story follows Dr. Bun, a forensic pathologist, and Tan, a mysterious teacher, as they team up to uncover crimes in their town.

MaxTul's chemistry? Absolute chef's kiss. They bring this intense, mature energy that's honestly so refreshing to see.

What really makes Manner of Death stand out is the mystery. You're constantly piecing together clues, and the twists? Some of them are wild. It also dives into serious social issues, giving the story more weight than your usual love story.

If you're in the mood for a BL that's smart, dark, suspenseful, and packed with fiery chemistry, this one's totally worth the watch.

Only a small point is really missing from complete perfection. Otherwise, Manner of death is a perfect drama worth watching. As already mentioned in one of the reviews, crime fiction and BL don't usually go together, but that's not the case with this work. The relationship, or whatever the characters had between them, fit perfectly into the plot and without it, it might not have worked, since the situations were specially adapted to the two main characters. Unfortunately, I did not understand the chemistry between them. There were moments, or maybe rather specific scenes, where it sparkled beautifully, but then there were those where I felt like Bun was keeping the distance and actually didn't want them to continue with the relationship. Maybe that was the goal, who knows, and maybe I just missed something, that's why I don't want to deduct a too many stars since that's really probably the only thing that bothered me about the series. The rest, the story, the plot, the interweaving, the development of the whole case... Everything fit together beautifully.

This BL series is just so refreshing to watch, it also tackles social issues and violence. The casts are awesome to watch, credit to the subtitles I manage to comprehend it. The MaxTul tandem has always been endearing since I last saw them in "together with me". BTW i watched it on WeTV.

The twist the turns, the acting, the chemistry. It's beautiful. It's amazing to see two actors engage in their roles so fluidly time and time again. MaxTul are amazing together and keep you coming back for new roles, new shows, new movies. Go watch and be on the edge of your set how I was. Enjoy.
