Oh crap what did I just watch? I am mind blown. This is without doubt THE BEST Thai drama I've ever seen. Scrap that, the best Asian drama I've ever watched. The tension in each and single episode was so high and not a moment was I bored.

There wasn't a single character I disliked and neither was there any episode I disliked. Everything was just planned perfectly. Most importantly the acting, Damn these kids can act. They are amazing. Each and every person carried their characters perfectly. Hell they acted better than half of the older Thai actors I've seen. The amount of potential these kids carry into the industry is amazing and let me tell you whoever wrote the script is genius. It was engaging from the beginning to the end. Each character had role (albeit the twins XD).

Like many says, we have to have a second season. This drama is way too good to be just forgotten after one season. I want to see the same cast return to the second season and maybe a cameo or two from Chanon too. I hope nothing bad happened to Mr. Pom. He really did care about the kids. Also another thing I noticed in the comment section of Youtube was that someone said that the Minister of Education or whoever that was actually Punn's father? I really want to know his true character. Is he too under manipulation by our villain or is he just as bad as our villain?

Also Wave and Pang, who would have thought all of us would be shipping them at the end? XD They are truly friend goals, they kinda remind me of Pom and Chanon too. Except that their friendship managed to survive longer than the latter. If we ever get a second season I really hope that Pang and Namtaan are made canon. Actually I have many ships in the series that I wish that would happen,
1. Namtaan and Pang (OTP)
2. Korn and Claire (I still think they look better together. He understands her more)
3. Mon and Punn (yes this was after their fight back then XD I think they would make a really cute pair)
4. Ohm ( I'm sorry cutie I can't ship with you with anyone but I hope you'll find someone soon XD)
Lastly I still think everyone in the Gifted indeed forgot Pang entirely and maybe some way or another it's only Wave who remembers him, which in a way could be great place to start the second season from, lol. Hopefully GMMTv will bring this back with so much potential hanging on to it but it better be with the same exact cast or I won't be looking at it -.-


To all those poor souls who haven't watched this drama I feel bad for you. You have no clue what the hell you guys are missing out.

I really don't know why this drama doesn't have amazing ratings in China. For me this was just as a gem as the previous season and the acting was on par with the previous season. Yes the plotting and revenge was mellow in this one but that didn't make it any less perfect.
Liu Hao Ran did an amazing job and his chemistry with Zhang Hui Wen was really cute. It was so nice to watch them fall in love slowly. This is what you call a predestined love. The bromance in this is out of the world. It is one that can rival the bromance of the previous season although when it comes to the romance side this one takes a higher place, at least in my personal books.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loved the first season and I kinda hope they have some other continuation for the story so we can see what happens to the Chnaglins in the future.

Tired of your normal cliche dramas of the rich ass bad boy falling for the innocent poor girl? of watching the bad boy keep defending himself and saying that he's not in love with her? Of him turning a new leaf just because of a girl? So is this drama any different? A new refreshing take on the normal cliche Korean drama? Nope. Not even a bit. Still why did I give this drama a good rating? Even I do not know. Something about this drama makes is much more bearable than other stuff.

I think Jung Il Woo is born to act in these characters. He is so natural in the rich bad boy characters. And Jin Seo Yeon is perfect as a innocent tough girl. Also there's a plus point of seeing Monsta X here.

If you have time to spare and wanting to watch a simple story to make you feel good, this is the best. The short episodes makes it the best.

My fav scene? When Chief Heo was made to sit outside the car in the pouring rain in the last episode XD

What can I say? I'm partial for super hot/cute guys fighting because of friendship and family.

This movie is literally made for all the Exile fans out there and who just love seeing all of their favorite actors in one film. The number of famous faces in this film is just countless. In a plus fact all the songs in the movie are pretty good too. I'm guessing Exile has some contract with Afrojack going on cuz I keep seeing them collaborate many times. Other than that I've got to say I'm becoming a little bit too over the whole we are not friends but in the end when one is being attacked Sword is gonna get together scenario. At first it was nice to see it but now it's becoming overrated. Get over your head people, you'll love each other and can't pretty much live without each other. Now hold hands and walk off to the sunset.
I wish I could see more of Nobaru though. My only real complaint.
My favorite scene, at the end when the Kuryu group leader comes and calls everyone kids while sucking on a freaking Popsicle. Yes very mature of you sir XD

I honestly don't know why this drama isn't that much famous. This is a comedy gem for all your manga loving people out there. Hell it isn't just for them but for all. The comedy is on spot without it being cliche or stupid. This is one of the only Thai dramas I've watched where the comedy is just perfect. Everything in the story was gold. The ending (I won't spoil) was a twist. I almost cried at the end of the 3rd part of the last epsidoe thinking that's how it all will end.

The story line is one that has been used in few mangas but the way that it is portrayed here is just amazing. Like I mentioned the comedy XD sorry if I'm going on about it too much. They've creatively added the manga trope into it without making it cliche.

I'll confess the real reason I started watching this was for P'FirstClass ( For those who get my reference XD) and I'll say he won't disappoint you here. He's the same old sweetheart. Maybe even a bigger sweetheart. The ending was satisfactory. Almost turned into a tragedy but satisfactory. August I want you to act with Apple again!!!! Lol XD

Tiramisu Cake!! Tiramisu Cake!!

God that song is stuck in my head so much! This is such a beautiful drama. One of those cute dramas that really stick with you. When I first heard that this is going to be a musical drama I was kinda skeptical but after watching it I finally saw the beauty of it. It was amazing!!! The songs are so cute. Like realistic giving an indie feeling to it.

I am so happy they casted the male lead instead of casting an idol. He did an amazing job of portraying the awkward not the best singer but a good singer nonetheless. His acting was on point. I watched him Prison Playbook and loved him there (tbh I loved all the characters in that drama. THE BEST)

Honestly there's nothing so special about the story but if you want a super cute story yes this is the one.

Just watch it for Tiramisu Cake!!

This is one of those dramas that end up making you feel good. Where there aren't any major problems and stupid villains trying to make everything bad.

Actually I started watching just by chance after seeing Sakaguchi Kentaro on the cast list but boy am I glad I started it. The story is pretty simple with it being based at a magazine company but even those simple things are given in a beautiful manner. It's not that Kurosawa does her work amazingly and takes these life changing decisions. It's her simple decisions that make the show more charming.

Actually through out the series I was honestly jealous of Kurosawa XD The fact that she found such a nice place to work at. After graduating recently I've been at job hunting for many weeks now (One can say weeks aren't a big thing XD others go for years job hunting) so to see how Kurosawa is doing was nice and at the same time sad. Sad cuz I don't know when I'll be able to enjoy my job like that. I'm stuck in a profession I do not like and Wishing I can do something more. AT the same time I also noticed how I can;t change the situation but to enjoy what I'm doing to the best of my ability as that is the best thing I can do so far. Ha ha so I shall finish on that note of self realization.

This was such a cute story. A little less than 2 hours on the whole thing, so you can basically watch it as a film even. At first I thought Gong Myung's character didn't suit him but by the second episode I was smitten by him. It was really cute how he slowly started getting Hyo Rin's out of her shell. Normally I hate noona romance stuff but in this you could barely feel it. Min Hyo Rin's character was so realtable for me as I'm introvert too and how she barely showed her emotions was one of the quirks I loved in her character. Watching how she slowly dropped her guard was the fun part of the story. One of those really cute feel good dramas.

Despite few of the negative comments I would clearly state otherwise. This story is the official sequel for the ever popular Boys Over Flowers/Hana Yori Dongo. BOF/HYD is a timeless classic, getting immense remakes over the years. This and Mischievous Kiss are two Jap manga that have taken over the drama-land by a storm creating countless remakes in many countries. So to see an official remake for the second season was a pleasant surprise for me.
At first I wasn't so sure of how the remake will actually be like given the fact I only knew (and loved) Nakagawa Taishi from the cast. So I did a further study and found out that Nakagawa and the leading lady here Sugisaka Hana had actually acted previously together in an incredible crime mystery drama. So I kinda left this off till they fully subbed it and started watching that. After finishing that I honestly was a bit downcast for the fact that the two of them aren't the leading couple in this drama.

That was until I watched the first episode of this and ultimately fell in love with the amazingly flawed character of Haruto. As the story and as Haruto's fatehr always reminds him, Haruto is extremely flawed. I am not saying this in any way to bring Haruto down. The fact that he is flawed is the perfect reason that he's so amazing. Compared to Tenma, Haruto is extremely lacking in talent but he makes up for it with the sheer genuineness and pureness he has in his heart. Please do not hate me for this but honestly liked Haruto's character a teensy bit more that Domyouji (yes I know I should be hung. If someone told this to me before I watched Hana Nochi Hare I would think that person is mad too). Unlike Domyouji I felt that Haruto had more compassion in his heart. As I mentioned before I was always conflicted on whom to like. Obviously I had the second lead syndrome. i started watching the drama with the second lead syndrome anyway but it took only few min for me to completely start rooting for Haruto. I love Tenma but Edogawa should simply be with Haruto. That's final.

I don't actually mind the side characters. They don't stand out that much as the side characters on HYD but nonetheless they make good support for our three. Only Airi and Megumi stands out a bit but other than that I can't even remember the names even properly.

One of the BEST parts of this story? The constant references to the parent story. it was nice surprise to hear about the characters all the time with occasional cameos. YES THERE ARE CAMEOS SO WATCH THIS!!!! With that I've got to finish my review cuz I am scared that I might actually spoil the story and one annoying person has been badgering me with one review where I had put a tiny spoiler (but in my defense I did mention before hand that there is a spoiler and not to read if they do not want it). Anyway that's for later.
I really hope they do a second season for this cuz honestly I'm dying for a second season so they can wrap up Haruto's and Edogawa's story nicely :)

PS- The songs are BEAUTIFUL. Utada Hikaru killed me with her track. Every time I hear it I imagine Haruto's heartbreaking face. The lyrics perfectly shows Haruto's feelings for Edogawa.

This is by far the best Korean Horror drama ever.
So this season we got myriad of Korean horror dramas. It's like all the Director's and writer's got together and thought let's just bring the horror genre to Korea and simultaneously many networks released some good horror dramas (still are : The Priest) Many were hits and few were misses but compared to the previous record that Korean held with Korean horror DRAMAS (not movies) this year was actually good.
SO in order to stand out from this long list of horror dramas one had to do well. The guest? doe waaaaay more than good. From the first episode itself it manages to grasp us and not let go. The plot line is nowhere cliche and the characters are very well fleshed out. One thing I liked was that they kept us guessing till the last episode. Personally I feel the last episode was somewhat lacking compared to the rest of the series but it does not make anything less boring. The plot was always moving fast and the story was engaging at its best. One thing I loved is the fact that they managed to give a story with consistent characters. Yes sometimes the female detective was annoying as hell but other than that the friendship and bromance they managed to build in this was wonderful.
Another thing I absolutely loved was the message the director wanted to give us. If you see the ending credits the director clearly states it. It was for the people to know the ugly truth of fellow people. It was not the demons that made those people do what they did but it was their evil nature that they were harboring inside which led the demons take control. The suppressed emotions deep inside. So it is not the demons we should be afraid of but rather the people. Who have the ability to bring such evilness out to this world.

PS- I would recommend this drama to anyone easily why? Because one of my non kdrama fan (actually she really doesn't like them) saw me watching this and thought it was interesting and sat down and watched it with me. She went crazy. She scolded me for watching this without her also. She was that engrossed in this!!! So freely recommend this guys!
Also once you are done go check the BTS of this drama to see the cute chemistry between Kim Jae Wook and Kim Dong Wook and how cutely Kim Jae Wook is around Jung Eun Chae. Actually all three have amazing chemistry going on (I meant in the sense of friendship) their sets are always having fun.

AMAZING!!

This is one of those slow but meaningful story. Unfortunately it got caught to the FIFA period and was cancelled many time which ultimately made a small setback in the ratings. Although the ratings were on a less side, it still emerged top of its slots. I managed to watch each week which actually made it even more suspenseful for me.

This is the first time lead roles of both Jang Ki Young and Jin Ki Joo (If you don't count JKY's Boy Next Door. Guys check it out. It's a total 180 of this) and for me they did an amazing job. They managed to portray their characters well and honestly JKY was simply amazing. This boy needs alot more lead roles. Despite the grim nature of the story if you check the BTS you can see them having fun.

One of the biggest positive factor of this were the child actors. Especially Nam Da Reum. Damn this boy has grown up well. Hope when they grow up, both of them get another drama as a couple <3

I actually came to this after watching Hana Nochi Hare where we have the two kids who act here acting as the main leads there. God I can't believe how small Nakagawa Taichi and Sugisaka Hana are in this one. They are so cute in Hana Nochi and so tiny in this, it's almost cute. I never expected such a great storyline.

The story is engaging and the acting is brilliant. specially Nakagawa Taichi. He would have been really small, around 15 here but he does a good job, I read thathe joined a talent company when he was 10 so I guess he got a good training since young. No wonder he's awesome in Hana Nochi. This kid is talented like hell. Honestly (no offence to anyone) I think he's much better than Sota Fukushi even. The story as I mentioned before is very fast moving. You wouldn't want to miss any and it being only 10 episodes is good factor. The end was a bit too mellow for me so I guess that's why I gave the overall rating as 9.0 instead of a 9.5.

I read somewhere that people were comparing this to kdramas and telling that kdramas can never come to this level which I think is not true. Stories like Stranger and Signal are good examples of good mystery stories in Korean drama world too.

I really don't know how to explain this movie. I really liked it but for some weird reason I found it a teeensy bit too draggy. half of me was saying it was a bit too draggy but half of me really loved it. It was aesthetically beautiful for me in a very weird sense. I guess the biggest shock for me was Hoshino's growth. The ending left me empty for some reason. This is one of those movies for me where I'm really lost on how I actually feel.

That aside the music was beyond amazing. It was hauntingly beautiful in many ways. From the beginning to the end the music was great.

Through out the whole series I kept saying all negative things about this but I got to admit that this sure has been a good ride. Despite the horribly stupid storyline, everything was good. The acting was amazing.

SPOILERS AHEAD

But WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENDING????

Please tell me at leat Chong Guang survived too. I mean he was outside talking to the reporters. Why didn't he go with her?????? I thought this was gonna have a happy ending with everyone married with kids. That was the way this was going? And for Gu Li to survive cancer but die in a fire? Poor woman has pretty bad luck. I just can't imagine even what Lin Xiao would feel after losing every single person?? I can't. Was this the author's way of giving a super memorable ending to the series? I am not happy. I am very sad. They made us go this long annoying but amazing journey with this gang and then they all end up dying???

You can't do this to me Tiny Times.

It may not be the best movie series out there but believe me when I say you are missing out alot if you haven't watched this one.
