🌈📺 TV Review: Sammy’s Children’s Day (2026)

Here comes the Enemies-to-Lovers trope

🔢 Seasons/Episodes Covered

Season 1, Episodes 1-9

✨ Quick Spark

He Chu San is a top student – the first in Kowloon Walled City to succeed, attend university and graduate. His dream is to escape the chaos of the place that is run by triads and corruption. However, while running an errand for a stall, he crosses path with Xia Liu Yi, one of the triads’ deputy leader. His life is not the same again when he’s forcibly pulled into the triad’s criminal scheme. What was meant to be a forced, temporary allyship, they became partners in revenge.

🪝 The Hook

I have to just admit that the reason I watched this series was He Chu San. I obviously have a thing for guys who look incredibly cute in glasses. Help me! But I continued watching because despite him being such a nerd, that man is smart enough to know how to survive a triad. Typically, someone like him would have gotten eaten up (maybe literally) by the triad. But nope, this man survived. I’m pretty sure it’s 80% intelligence and 20% Liu Yi finds him cute, even if he denied that for 8 episodes out of 9.

🧪 Character Chemistry

This series is an irony of sorts. You have Liu Yi who is the triad leader, one of the most wanted and vicious in the hood. But actually a softie and a little immature. Then you have Chu San who is a nerd. But actually dominant. Chu San is the pursuer, not Liu Yi. Throughout all 9 episodes, you just witness Chu San trying hard to show how he’s into Liu Yi but resisting because he didn’t want to lose him and Liu Yi just being oblivious to it until he almost lost Chu San. When it comes to such shows, it also boils down to how good they look together. You have a cutie patootie and a handsome chiseled-looking man. It’s so good and they look kinda believable, some people are shipping them in real life, based on my TikTok FYP.

🚶🏽‍➡️ Pacing Check

It’s not bad but I also think it went a little too fast and a little too short. The ending is open so I feel like it can be longer because it does have a whole back-story with the second couple. And the novel itself (yes, there’s a novel) didn’t end where it ends in the series. So, while I think it’s not bad, it can slow down and make it longer.

💤 Final Sleepy Rating

🦋 Heart-Flutter – It’s cute when Liu Yi figured out his feelings for Chu San. I was like, finally, bro!

✍🏽 Notable Mention

He Chang Xi, who acted as He Chu San, was an idol 😮

🌙 The After-Hours Reset: Week No. 4 – Crowns, Kitchens, and Moral Codes

📝 The Week In Review

Chef & My Fridge and Honour are back on the list! My comfort show and the show that I’ve put on the back-burner. You see, after watching the latest episodes of Perfect Crown, I definitely need my comfort show. That show is giving me a high blood pressure. I love it but the villains be villain-ing here! And the poor baby king being used and bullied by adults! The nerve. So, yes, I need Chef & My Fridge to calm my blood pressure down.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 9-10): ⚡ – We have two more episodes and I don’t know how it’s going to end. That’s the thing with this show that I think made people hooked – you can never guess how the next episode will go even with the previews. While I can guess, it still managed to surprise me.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 10-11): ☁️ – After the latest two episodes of Perfect Crown, I need something to comfort me. Ep 11 has Chef Sang Rok back. Aww…
  • Honour (Ep 3-4): ⚡ – Well, I’m not surprised that the side character that I don’t really like is not there anymore but it’s still quite tragic.
  • Sammy’s Children’s Day (Ep 7-8): 🦋 – I’m about to finish and I want smack Liu Yi awake. Sweetie pie, you like Chu San. Just admit it already!

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: Okay, since my work went a little crazy, I did eat some food beyond the time that I set myself at for my diet era. Just normal dinner, like the fish curry my mom cooked for today – on a Mother’s Day, yes. That’s mom’s love, y’all.
  • 🎶: Someone just help a girl out here. I’m stuck at Wednesday Girl by P1Harmony for a whole week now. My goodness! So stuck that I have added P1Harmony as one of the groups I stan now. Great! For a change, I’m embedding a YouTube video of them singing the song live because that’s when I laughed at myself and went: Ha! Another boy group in my list!

👀 Looking Ahead

I said I will finish Sammy’s Children’s Day, right? Ha! That didn’t happen. Should I promise finishing the show this week? Probably not. That’s dangerous 😂

📃 The Great Reset: Week No. 4 – The Crown, The Feels, and The One

Show / Movie / BookProgressCurrent Vibe
Perfect CrownEp 8/12⚡ Electric
Sammy’s Children’s DayEp 7/9🦋 Heart-Fluttering
Feel What You FeelEp 1/8🦋 Heart-Fluttering
Wanna One Go: Back To BaseEp 2/6☁️ Cozy / Daydreaming

This week, my list is interesting – from usual K-drama to Chinese BL dramas to… K-pop variety show. Honestly, it’s good for my brain. Otherwise, with my busy work-life, I would get all my dramas mixed up.

🔊 Weekly Highlight: What a mix

With work being busy, I am amazed that I could slip in 2 shows which is Feel What You Feel and Wanna One Go: Back To Base. Now, Wanna One variety show would be easier for me to consume after a hard day at work. Bunch of cuties being a bunch of cuties together? Easy-peasy! It’s easy to watch as well because they are just a bunch of comedians so I was laughing a lot except for the latest episode, to which I was bawling. These boys deserve to be a permanent group.

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 🎧 Soundtrack: This song has been looping in my head and it’s going to creep up into the top 10 of my Spotify 2026. I’ve been repeating it non-stop. It’s Wednesday Girl by P1Harmony. Where did they come from? Well, I can thank Gemini AI for recommending this song 😂
  • 😋 Snack: Nothing. My diet is working. I shall continue with it.
  • 🛏️ Sleep Thief: It’s either Sammy’s Children’s Day or Feel What You Feel. Either one of them I was watching at night.

📋 Drop / Keep / Add

  • 💯 Keep: All the shows, for now, including Honour.
  • 🫳🏽 Drop: Jun & Jun – I couldn’t finish it. The office-related stuff can be quite cringey. It’s unlike Secret Relationship, which is a little bit more believable.
  • ➕ Add: You know, every time I say something here, I won’t watch it and I watch some others so I don’t want to say anything anymore 😆

🌙 The After-Hours Reset: Week No. 3 – A Marathon of Crowns, Fridges and Enemies

📝 The Week In Review

Perfect Crown reminds me why I usually waited until a show completes before binge-watching. Because the waiting is excruciating. Good thing is: There’s always something to look out for after a hell of a week at work. This week, because of a hell-ish work week, I decided to watch one of my comfort shows – Chef & My Fridge. I also added two other BL shows because why not.

🤩 The Highlights

  • Perfect Crown (Ep 7-8): ⚡ – Can someone just give our royal couple a break? They don’t get one day of peace (or maybe they do) without something happening and they have to manage it together. Anyways, now that the second half of the drama starts, the drama ups the ante and us viewers are waiting what Grand Prince I-An has on his cards. That man is very smart and these two episodes also show how dangerous he can be.
  • Chef & My Fridge (Ep 8-10): ☁️ – Still my comfort show. Watched it whenever I feel the lousiest and this week was definitely it.
  • Never Forget Your Enemy (Ep 1-8): 🔥 – I decided to go with this rather than 🦋. It’s more 🔥 than 🦋 but there are some sweet moments. I did watch all 8 episodes and yet to write a review because the next show in this highlights is distracting me.
  • Sammy’s Children’s Day (Ep 1-6): 🦋 – It’s been a while since I watched a Chinese BL show. Chusan is a cutie patootie who is also quite nerdy hot. While Liu Yi is such a clueless person. Will this man ever realize he’s actually in love with Chusan or not?

💖 The Midnight Mood

  • 😋: I’m still in my diet era. But because I was so stressed out, I was almost always eating past the time I’m supposed to stop eating. So, I was eating breads, which is favourite carbs of all carbs and drinking hot chocolate because sweet stuff makes me feel better after a shitty day at work.
  • 🎶: Let’s go with one of the songs from Perfect Crown – My Favourite Part by So Soo Bin.

👀 Looking Ahead

I think I will finish Sammy’s Children’s Day as it just ended. I definitely need to start Yumi’s Cells Season 3 at some point. And I saw some clips of Absolute Value of Romance that looks interesting.
