Honey dripping from the eyes (Sooo in love) ?

I haven't watched much Kdrama in the past 4 years, because of the heavy drama and angst. But this one was something different, it wasn't heavy, didn't have that rich man/poor woman cliche angsty story, instead the romance was just so sweet and beaitiful to watch. The friendship was beautiful as well.

Yoona and Junho has amazing chemistry in this, they looked so great together in this. They acted really well, you could see honey dripping from their eyes. You can tell so much how much they loved each other, the character development for the ML was great, both personal and professionally.

The OSTs in this was great, there were a few that played during sweet moments and they were sooo sweet, the melody was beautiful and matched very well with the romance.

I absolutely loved the friendship they all devloped and that there wasnt any unnecessary backstabbing etc.

If you want something sweet, simple and romantic then its an easy watch, i left feeling so content and happy. I blushed, laughed and smiles every episode. ❤️ ?

It's love at first sight, then lets grow in love and life!?

When I started this it had just finished airing, usually I would check out the comment section first, but since i had nothing else i wanted to watch I just started this one, TBH after the first few episodes, I really didn't think I would love this, but lo and behold!.. I ended up loving it so much. I started wondering why it was this nice?, even at the 20 episode mark, I was nervous to continue because I thought it'll just die down, and get all dramatic etc, but nope.. it kept getting better, it ended up not being a show with a bunch of cliché.

I find the first few episodes a little slow, but I guess it's because we didn't know the characters well enough, as yet but as it continued, I started enjoying the snow theme setting, the filming abroad, it was a nice change and the sport they played was interesting. It was nice seeing the life of the ML as well,
At the beginning the ML's eyes said "I want her" and the FL's eyes said "I want you too, but I'm scared and nervous" haha it was a little funny and cute. Once they got together, it was really nice seeing how their romance, relationships and career took off. I felt like I was really watching a story of their life unfold.

The acting of the leads and everyone was well done, it's my first time seeing the FL, she did so well and she's so young in real life, she did a great job with her role, Leo also did great, the other shows I've seen him in had light/slow burn romance, this is the first I'm watching a show of his with romance like this, it was awkward at first, but then it was great seeing him in love. The FL older brother/cousin, WXY, this guy has grown sooo much in his acting, who on earth would believe he's only 21 in real life, he impressed me with his role here, he acted so mature, though him and the FL are the same age in real life, you never saw that in the show, he really did come off as her older brother/cousin and the head of their sports club.

As for our main couple I absolutely loved them, their chemistry, kisses and relationship was soo sweet and felt so real. I loved seeing how they grew in love, usually at some point in a 30 episode modern drama the romance tend to die down, when it starts early or once the leads get together, but instead they just grew so naturally in love, and as they grow in love, it shaped their life and it was beautiful to watch.

I also really enjoyed the relationship between the ML and his two buddy/rivals, they had such a special bond and relationship, not only them, but the ML former club member, they loved and looked up to him so much (but i don't think anyone admired him as much as the FL older brother haha)

If you're looking for something light, with a different setting (overseas and snow/winter), interesting sport, sweet romance, and a great second chance/comeback, I think you'll like it, also if you liked how low angsty LMLMV was then this has a similar vibe. It's such an easy drama to sit back, relax and enjoy, even the sports element of the show was interesting to watch.

The music was the only part that was just okay, but I guess it fit the theme of the show.

This gets my first 10/10 for a full length drama of 2024! ?

He needed her, and she needed him. ?

As someone who doesn't really like school drama's, I prefer mature romance. Though I have seen a few, they're not my go too. I was very reluctant to watch this, but i figured after watching Hidden Love, (which I wanted to watch since i knew the manhua would become a tv series). I figured its the best time to watch this school drama... so i hope my review helps those who may not be so interested in school shows. When I first started this, after the 2nd episode i wasnt sure if i should drop this, not because it wasn't going well thus far, its precisely because of not watching much drama in this genre, but because i already decided to watch it, i didn't read much comments and i didnt read any reviews, i went in blindly solely because i had planned to watch it, and the ratings was pretty high for a school drama... so i wanted to give it a chance ? and well!!!!!!!!....................

This was simply amazing!!!... Everytime i think something cliché was gonna happen, instead it just exceeded my expectations. It's the first I thought a show deserves 11/10 ?.

I've watched hundreds of shows and just a tiny few make me feel content after watching, but this show... i feel soooo happy, content and satisfied after watching this ?☺️ ......................... yet, somehow I just wanna rewatch it right away haha ? ?

I give 9 for music, because since it started from 2012 through the music i can feel so much nostalgia, it wasn't something amazingly great, but all the songs fit the show very well.

What I loved about this show was that It was great having a FL be enthusiastic and foward without coming off as annoying, or (dumb, the acting felt so natural from the FL, i thought she was adorable ?. It was also really great having a ML who was aloof without being a mean jerk ?. Even the side chracters are so likeable and you enjoy there stories too.

I enjoyed the progress of the love story, from acquaintance, to classmates, then lovers. The timing for everything was well put together, even if it may not feel that way after you're hakfway through, just know it comes together so well and nothing, absolutely nothing was rushed. It was also really great seeing the interactions with the main couple from school until the end, they just fit so well together. The frienship was soooo amazingly beautiful, like it made me feel sooo nostalgic, i felt like i wanted to go back to school to make friends like that ?

But most of all, I really enjoyed seeing how the FL with a beautiful personality and genuine care and love became a bulldozer and broke down the ML walls. I also loved how the ML made the FL wanna always try her best and be herself. He needed her and she needed him!. Whether in academic or in love.... they were truly what i call soul mates!!!!

Great Feel-Good Drama

I haven't written a review in almost a year, but I just felt like this is one of those drama's that left an impression on me, so
I decided I'll write one.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this, and it's been years since I started a drama that was still premiering, but I ended up starting this anyways because it was in my list and the comments said they were sweet, so i dived in. I am not disappointed at all, the story was nice, the acting was great, their chemistry was definitely there and they just honestly looked like a great couple, they developed from enemies, friend to lover, and had so much love and respect for each other.

The OSTs was very good, it tied everything together so well, it definitely played a huge part from my perspective, I've even added them to my "Songs from drama list" and only songs that touch me end up in that list.

If you're hesitant, you love feel-good shows, with no break up, a healthy couple, that loves and respect each other, no angst but has the right amount of friction, then give this a try, for me it doesn't matter how low or high something is rated, it all depends on my mood and if I'm interested. So just apiece of advice, no matter what you read about a show good or bad, never go in with high or low expectations, try to watch with a neutral level, so you can form your own opinion on a show, tht way you either love it or hate it on your own.

This show isn't some kind of outstanding masterpiece, but for romance lovers, it's a really great feel-good drama, that had great chemistry and love, so I rate based on what I saw and how I felt when watching and while it ended.

Wonderful Drama

This drama was really wonderful, it has literally everything you need.

After watching ashes of love and Eternal love (TMOPB).. I neber thought I'd find another wonderful fantasy that can be in the list with those two, but this for sure has made the cut.

The acting was phenomenal, there was no bad actors, every person convinced me of there roles. My favourite was the ML, he's the best ML Ever, he wss soo innocnet in every sense, he loved the FL soo much.

The story was very good, the suspense and all the things we find out as i journey through this series was worth it. What i loved the most was the love story, the ML loved this woman for 10 lifetimes and you feel so much compassion for him that you may just cry. The FL also love him a lot, they both went through a lot and deserved happiness.

I would definitely recommend this drama, it was a pleasure to watch, you would love the leads and you would hate the villains, every actor did a great job with there chacarter, they made you really love or hate them. You'll also love a lot of the side chacaters, some of the stories were so sad, it really brought this all together wonderfully.

This show was really good, i loved the story line and the acting the most.

I really wouldnt say its full of the typical korean cliches, the female lead was amazing, i loved her personality, she wasn't annoying or anything, the comedy in this was just awesome, i laughed sooooooo much and so hard, it was great!

I loved the drama, the romance, the comedy and when everything was resolved i loved that too lool as well.

The male leads mom, i felt so much compassion for her character, she did a phenomenal job in her role, her growth and story, was amazing to watch and see to the end.

I reccomend this drama, it has the right balance of everything, and you'll love the Leads interactions, they're hilarious and too sweet.

Excellent Cast and Wonderful Story

This was a great drama, I love my Cdrama for historical and xianxia, this one was really great. At first i was hesitant to watch it, i thought it would have too much fighting and scheming and not enough romance and balance for the plot, but i was wrong and I'm happy I give it a chance.

Pros
The cast was wonderful, every person fit there role and delivered respectively, Reba came out and did her stuff, truly and amazing and talented actress, Leo this is my first drama with him and tbh I'm impressed, especially knowing that he's only 21 my goodness he did an excellent job, definitely gained a fan here. I'm also very impressed with my girl rosy, she came through, i could not believe it was her, this is such a different role that she took on, and my goodness, she did an excellent job with this role, she was so much into her emotions, I'm so happy she choose this role and did something different from her usual.

The story was great, the flow and everything was pretty good, I also love the different arc, i love that it wasn't done in just one place like the usual palace historical drama, but they went to so many different places and encounter so many different people, friends, and so on. it was great, perfect balance. The plot was great, it had a really good balance with everything that was going on, enough suspense, romance, war/fighting. I don't think i found any annoyance in the plot itself at all. There were some very very sad scenes that i probably would have cried about but did get teary eyed for, got my emotions worked up, the story was well put together and balance

The ost, it's my first to give a 10 for a Cdrama ost, the beginning song was amazing, and the ending song, definitely adding that to my playlist, i already went to YouTube to listen to it while on my spare time, that's how catchy, emotional and good it is.

The relationship, well every relationship in this drama lets just say whether family, friend, foe... the cast and writers did an excellent job, you can feel all the emotions between each person. The romantic relationships, i shipped everybody lool, I love all the relationships that was form, the main couple had excellent chemistry, i loved there stranger to friend to lovers =, it was great being on that journey and seeing how they developed their relationship. The second couple, at first i didn't really care for it, but then i felt soo happy for them and i loved there relationship. Both couple had some amazing romantic growth and i loved that.

This part is my favorite part, character development, the MFL Reba/Changge had amazing character development in this, seeing how she was from the beginning to the end it was great seeing how much she matured, even with her relationship with the MML Leo, they never had any foolish misunderstanding, and they were so genuine. Rosy/Leyan she had amazing growth as well, from being a timid girl to being so brave, going through what she did really changed her for the better. The MML Leo/ Ashile Sun I'm not sure if i should say he had character development, he was pretty awesome and remain awesome, loyal and sweet from beginning to the end, i guess the only change would be what he did and then what he wanted to do if that makes sense. SML he had great growth too, i liked his growth it was weird but cute lool.

The Costumes were all fantastic, my favorite were Ashile Sun war outfit, hmm hmm hmm... hahaha, and the Ashile Tribe long hair with braids, it looked soo good, didn't look out of place or too rugged, it worked 100% hahahaha

Cons?! Preference
There is only two cons personally, one is that they blurred the kissing scenes, not a deal breaker or a big deal, so that's why i probably shouldn't even say its a con because with or without it i loved the couples.

The other thing was i kind of wish some scenes that were animated weren't some of them worked and bended in with the real scenes perfectly, but other times there were just a few i wish weren't, but again not a deal breaker or anything just personal preference.


So that's it, i know it's long but it is my honest review after watching this drama, the story, acting, plot, ost i loved them all and have no regrets watching this, Gonna miss Ashile Sun with his tribal hair and clothes... ohhh sooooo cute hahaha

Love starts from friendship? or after friendship?!

Where should I begin, I first started this show and then put it on hold from episode 2, tbh most shows from this year I've been doing the same thing, there were just a few that catches my absolute attention. After a while I went back, and well this captured my absolute attention, and I just finished it, loved it and I have no regrets at all.

After finishing the show I realized that the story, set up, city life, romance and OST reminds me of a early 2000 classic American romance drama filmed in NYC or Manhattan, it has that type of vibe, it's so subtle, and simple yet interesting and entertaining. The casting was pretty perfect, the ML and FL did very well in their roles, and they had amazing chemistry together, and formed a nice MATURE relationship, with no nonsense.

One thing that kept me watching was the way how the main cast got together, it was interesting to wait and see and experience them being strangers, then friends, and then lovers etc. all while they go through the different stages of life with their respective careers. So if you want something mature, simple but entertaining, about life, career and love, no major drama, and a mature romance then this is for you, it left me feeling very complete, and it also leaves you with a nice subtle feeling.

hope you give this a try.

How an actress playing twins should be!?

I really enjoy watching short length series, especially after watching a regular show and idk what to watch, or it was too angsty.

This was pretty nice, the story was simple, it had nice pacing and the leads had a sweet chemistry. They had nice kisses and looked great together.

The actress who played both roles did an excellent job, this is how it should be when one actress is playing twins, it was soo believable which made this even better. At one point when they switched, I kept having to remind myself its one actress ?
The ML also did a great job as a blind person. I just love his calm demeanor.

This is definitely one of the decent short length series, it was really easy to watch.

Beautiful and Pure Love ❤️

First, I wasn't sure whag to expect going into this, I love xianxia shows, and I've seen all the stories from the novel writer, and enjoyed them, so i wanted to give this a try, though i was sooo nervous going in, because i thought it would be very heavy and angsty. But...

It really wasn't as heavy as i was expecting, each lifetime and romance was so well writtten, it was great seeing them in different roles and yet still would do anything for their love with no previous memories of anything.

As the show went on the love grow, so many tiems when i was expecting something bad... it went the other way, it was more heavy during there trial, which i liked that they didnt bring too many drama after each was done.

The acting of the ML was phenomenal, he did such a great job in each lifetime role, one of my favorite acting was the lifetime where he was a cat demon, his acting was very different from all the other shows I've seen him in and it was great seeing him in that role. The FL acting was pretty good as well, i think if anything for her to improve would be her crying scenes and her eyes, but there were times where she showed great acting in her roles, especially in the cang hai role, you can see a clear difference and in the princess and general role.

The leads had really good chemistry, ive seen other say they lacked it, but even though the kisses were many but not as (deep ?), i thought they did well together and after finishing the show i can't imagine anyone else in their roles. They belonged together, they loved each other and it got evident the more you watch the show.

The only time I felt a little like (jeez this is long), was the second lifetime, which was the longest. (SML was also a nuisance then too ?), but after that... it was all so interested.

If you want to watch a sweet, beautiful, amd pure love story and you're a sucker for those things like me, i think you'll also like this.

Usually i always end up reading some spoiler and it spoils it too much, and i end up not finishings a show (that's what happen for till the end of the moon), this time i decided to stay away from all that and watch it on my own.

The OSTs... amazing!!...?

Minor spoiler ahead

There was a mention of a time loop, which shows up around episode 30-31... of you didnt understand (like i didn't) there is a discussion right before the comment about that thoery, but I'll only read it after watching up to episode 31 or when you're done. It truly helped me to understand more about the lifetimes etc. You may not need too, but just incase you feel the need too.. ?

Loved the fire chemistry and kisses .. I love romance

I was waiting for this, but somehow wasn't feeling like it was interesting enough so i left it in my plan to watch *that's being shelved for life in my books*, but after a month or so I watched like two episodes and then put it on hold, but somehow I still wanted to watch it so i left it in currently watching. I came back a few times and never continued, but i eventually give in, i initially thought it wouldn't be as interesting or the romance wouldn't be what i expected, boy was i wrong hahaha... the romance was great, the kisses was amazing and the chemistry was fire.. sweet ost's too.

Definitely don't regret watching it, and I'll recommend if you love romance. The story was nice, the chemistry was great, the romance was sweet, the family relationship with the FL, her brother and grandpa was great, and the ML's friends were the best. they had some great coworkers too.

I left feeling content and pleased. I've always loved Bin Bin and Janice's works but i wasn't sure what to expect with romance since this is the first time I'm watching a main role of hers since she got married, but... the chemistry she had with Bin Bin was amazing, don't talk about their kisses.. *me blushing* haha

The chemistry and story was amazing.

This was so much better than I could have expected. I was so captivated, interested from the first episode to the last. I haven't watched a drama like that in so long. Every episode was interesting, it truly felt like i was finally watching something new. I got to 33 episodes without realizing it, like this is new for me. I usually don't like lengthy modern drama, but i could have watched some more of this show. It was very well written, the acting was great, the chemistry was on point, the couple was just perfect together. Everything was wrapped up well. Not much angsty scenes at all. It truly is probably the best of my 2022 so far.

What I also liked about this show is the leads, when they were in law school and after, the way they were emerged in their roles was very interesting to see, the legal terms and everything they said pertaining to the law, they did a great job, they definitely came of as they knew what hey were talking about, many times you watch a law show or doctor and it somehow doesn't get integrated well, but this show the actors, romance and story was well written and put together. Even the story of second leads, i usually don't go for second couple but everything was interesting and well written. I will definitely miss this show and i usually never say stuff like that.

Maybe because my expectations was quite low, but i usually don't go into shows with a high expectations, this one definitely supercede what i thought it would be like. Thumbs up ? ? ? ❤

Edit:
I forgot to mention that the SML Li Chong Wen the actor Garvey Jin, I've seen him in second lead roles and lead roles, in my opinion this was his best role yet and his acting didn't make me cringe at all. Thought he needed a S/O ?

Very interesting show, not a bad watch at all..

This was pretty good, could have been better though and I'll explain why.

I loved the story a lot, I cannot complain much about that, the whole idea of the mysterious FL was pretty good, and the rich and goofy ML, usually its the opposite, its great to see this change.

I loved the FL character from beginning to the end, she was a no nonsense, i can defend myself, cool and classy FL without coming off arrogant. Her mysterious background really kept up the suspense which I liked a lot, and her outfits were all soo beautiful, definitely a plus for this drama, tbh basically all the outfits were out together really great, what a breathe of fresh air. The intro song or rather instrumental i really liked it a lot.

The ML was great, all the previous roles I saw him in he was always serious, who knew he was can also be this diverse and act like a total clumsy guy lol. His outfits were sometimes weird, but it matched his character haha, he was also pretty funny and crazy at times, but he did a great job with his roles.

The villains, and secondary characters were also very good as well, the one girl really makes you wanna go crazy lool.. The other supporting cast were all pretty good, the ML bestie and bodyguard, assistant, i think he was his everything haha, i loved his character as well, good characters.

The romance was nice, but tbh... at one point i was so sick and tied of seeing the supporting cast, like who's drama is this?!.. later on in the show you literally hardly saw the leads, it was so annoying, you got more romance from the side couple which is crazy, if they had worked more on that then i would have given a better ratings. I skipped most of those stuff in the later episodes, even the leads there was intimate things they didn't do until much much later in the show, weird.. but they did have good chemistry, that wasn't too bad.

All in all, I have seen some really terrible dramas, this was definitely not a bad drama though.. i have no regrets watching it.. it's good to watch after you seen something that's heavy

Starts slow, but its definitely worth the watch.

"I will only deserve the best of you when I become the best of myself"

I saw this drama for a while now, I wanted to watch it but I can't remember why I changed my mind. I saw someone's review/recap online, and since the stuff i currently watching and want to watch was still being subbed and not air as yet, I decided to give this a chance, I went in with no expectation for this drama to leave any impression on me, even the first few episodes were simple, and I wasn't fully engaged in the drama, but after it became soo interesting, the relationship and how it started was great, there were also some emotional scenes that the actors/actresses did such an amazing job portraying such emotions, i was utterly impressed with those scenes.

As the drama started coming to an end there were a lot of life lessons and encouraging stuff that kept me entertained. The quote above truly depict the drama and the title of the drama, and what the FL and i guess everyone else wanted to do, be the best of themselves so they can be with the best of each other and their significant other, I think that concept is truly beautiful and really made me enjoy and appreciate this drama.
