Very Moving Emotional Drama

I wasn’t planning on watching this drama, because I don’t like the “based on a true story” kind of thing. I’m so glad I gave it a chance! Because it is based on real events, the core of the story is true, but other things with the actors were enhanced and changed for drama. This is a time in Korean history a lot of people don’t even realize happened. In fact, after it was over, the Korean government tried to cover it up, and citizens were either unaware it happened, or didn’t talk about it. In real life, what the taxi driver and the German reporter witnessed, affected them for the rest of their lives. After you watch it, it’s the kind of drama that stays with you long after, because you can’t believe something like the events that occurred actually took place, and not really that long ago. I highly recommend this drama, but not if you aren’t ready to shed some tears. The real life taxi driver died a few years after he witnessed this tragedy, and the German reporter died, I believe in 2016. He searched for the taxi driver right up to his death, not knowing he died years prior. He really wanted to meet up with him again.

Cutest Ever!!❤️❤️

This is a spin-off of the drama series, and it is awesome. I loved the humor, the lead actors, the supporting actors, and the cute story line. If you are looking for a BL with a lot of skin ship and physical romance, this is not for you. If you are looking for a fun, funny, well acted spinoff of the original drama, with romantic implications, this is for you. It is a very short drama, which is disappointing, because I can’t get enough. I would highly recommend this, as well as the original drama, Cherry Magic, and I am looking forward to watching the other spinoff as well. I will watch that next, and probably watch all three of them again.

What did I just watch?? The BL basic story/plot was promising, but how it was carried out was not good. It felt way too rushed, the story jumped all over the place, and the ending was really weird to say the least. If more care was taken with the writing, directing and producing, it just might have been good. I felt the actors did a good job with what they had to work with. I will not watch this again. I gave it a 4.5 for the effort of China even filming this. I think considering the short run time, I would suggest watching it. Maybe some of you will “get it,” I didn’t.

Run on, and on, and on….

This drama did not hold my interest. I watched the first few episodes, thinking it would get better, but it didn’t. I fast forwarded through most of it just to finish it. By the time I realized how long and boring it was starting to be, I had too much time invested in it to drop it. I’m actually surprised at the fairly high rating, because for me, it was hard to stay awake while I watched it. But to each their own, because a lot of viewers loved it. The acting was very good, some good comedic moments, some good serious moments as well. Romance was in it, but not enough for me. I at least like some passionate kissing once in a while, but nothing in this drama. I guess it was a story to teach you how to love yourself, and stand up for what you believe. This could have been done with fewer episodes. Just very drawn out, and boring.

Great Acting!!

I haven’t written a review in months, and I didn’t expect too much from this Drama, Time travel stories are kind of hit or miss….or I should say reincarnation, or kind of both I guess. It had my interest from the first episode. I haven’t fast forwarded even once, which is a habit of mine during idle/slow times in a drama, and that is saying something. It started out good, and it keeps going. It has kind of a mixture of everything like…a love story, a mystery, death, sickness, feeling unloved, many surprises in the plot, great acting, and so much more. I loved Ahn Bo Hyun in My Name, so that’s part of the reason I decided to watch this, and he hasn’t disappointed me. The ending was fitting to the story. I think it could have been more than 12 episodes so I would be able to see future events with her life. I don’t want to give the story away by elaborating, but it should have continued. But still a great drama!!

I would have given this a higher rating, but the end spoiled it. I enjoyed watching this, it kept my interest. I thought the acting and story were good. This movie had a lot of sex scenes, so if your not comfortable with that, don’t watch it. I think the two ML’s were excellent and very believable in their roles. They were two lost souls, but throughout the movie kind of discovered themselves. I don’t think I would watch it again though. I’ve watched You Make Me Dance, Long Time No See, and To My Star several times each, but I won’t be doing that with this one, for the reason stated in my first sentence. If you like BL’S on the serious side, it’s a nice short watch.

WOW, what a wild ride!! Excellent from beginning to end, and at times unpredictable. If you don’t like blood and gore, you won’t like this. If you don’t like revenge movies, or crying during a movie, you won’t like this either. It’s about gangsters, so that explains the you “won’t like” description about this movie. I totally expected all of this going in, so I wasn’t surprised. It’s about betrayal, and trust that went wrong. I was especially at the edge of my seat through the entire last episode. The acting was impeccable! If you love a good ending, I can say it is good and bad. Watch it to see what I mean, you won’t regret it.

Everything was fantastic…..except….

This BL/bromance Drama is probably one of the best I’ve watched. It had a great plot that kept you guessing, right up until the end. If you are in to physical type BL’S, you will not find it here. It is kind of left to your imagination with glances, pecks on the cheek, sleeping together, oh, and the lube scene, LOL. The acting was outstanding with very good chemistry between the two ML’s. I did not like the BL 2016 Addicted, but people keep comparing that to this. This was so much better than that. DEFINITELY worth watching it. I am hoping there is a Season 2, or there are too many unanswered questions. It would have been a strong 10 for me, but those unanswered questions turned it into an 8.

I thought the plot was really good, but the acting wasn’t. I felt this was WAY over acted. I liked the theme song, but I thought the music throughout the drama during certain scenes, was very annoying. I felt like I was watching a soap opera from the 1970’s. I had a hard time getting through this one. It did have a lot of good plot twists, but the things I mentioned ruined it for me. Apparently other viewers don’t agree with me, because of the high rating. I would never sit through this again. Maybe my rating is too high the way I feel, but like I said, the overall plot was good. I did like the ending though.

Great Chemistry Between Leads!

One of the best BL’S I’ve seen. Why?… Mainly the extreme, believable, physical chemistry between the male leads. Actually everything about this drama is impressive, but mainly the physical contact between Nattawin Wattanagitiphat who plays Porsche and Phakphum Romsaithong who plays Kinn. Both absolutely gorgeous I might add! The plot, writing and especially the directing were excellent. I didn’t give it a 10, because a couple of very unnecessary characters were in it. I felt that if this BL Drama cut out all the comedy (Thanayut Thakoonauttaya), and just stayed serious, it would have been so much better. This is a definite watch if you like really good physical scenes, “mafia like” plots, and drop dead gorgeous actors, this is the one for you.

A BIG NO!!

I was pretty excited to watch this due to the high ratings, but it didn’t keep my interest. I literally suffered through maybe 5 episodes, but dropped it. Very boring for me, but I can’t put my finger on why… I think because I’m comparing it with the acting and strong plots in other period Dramas I’ve watched. Dramas that I binged watched because they were so good. Dramas like: The Red Sleeve, The Crowned Clown, A Frozen Flower, all the Rurouni Kenshin Dramas, Empress Ki, Mr. Sunshine, Moon Lovers, just to name a few. Shogun just wasn’t good, but I guess it’s because I am comparing it to the ones I listed. I gave it a 4 for the production value. I was happy to drop it, my suffering is over. Maybe I’ll just re-watch Moon Lovers

Edge of your seat!!

I don’t write many reviews any more, but I felt the need to write this one. This is very suspenseful, the acting is superb, and the plot is creative and outstanding! More action in 4 episodes, than some I’ve watched with 16+ episode Dramas! Yes, suicide is a way out of your misery, but this is showing how your choice affects others. It is making him feel the pain of what others feel when their life isn’t going as planned. Each time he dies, you wonder what his next experience is going to be. It shows him growing to regret his decision, because he realizes how it has changed peoples lives around him. It helps him do this with the different characters he lives, and the choices they made that changed their lives and others around them. I can not wait until part 2 in January to see where this goes. The writing, directing, producing, and especially the 5 star actors, put on a show you will love! However, it does get very rough, as in bloody and violent, so go into this knowing that.
