FEEL GOOD DRAMA AND ALSO CUTE!!!

This drama is so cute bot visuals and the storyline....This KBL has come after a long time and the wait is literally worth it.....Korean BLs are having a moment this year as they keep releasing one hit show after another. If you are done with Eighth Sense, Semantic Error and other KBL's and are looking for the next show, A Breeze of Love is here to watch!

For those who don't know yet A Breeze of Love is adapted from the “Weather Forecast Love” webtoon. The show tells the story of Ban Dong-wook, who has insomnia. His condition gets worse, especially on bad weather days. On one of these bad days, he coincidentally meets Lee Do-hyun, who becomes his haven. Soon, Do-hyun develops feelings for Dong-wook.

Unfortunately, his confession goes awry, and misunderstanding festers between the two. Fast forward to five years later, the two meet on campus and try to fix their broken ties..........


[THIS PART MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS]

I Really liked the first episodes. The close-ups, the camera work, the lighting, are all peak K-romance. The boys are gorgeous and they can act - we already have a good idea of their characters and the chemistry can be felt the moment they face each other.....also props to the girl who help them meet much faster ?
this one's cute haha especially Dohyun broooo he such a cutieeee so as Dongwook......also I was expecting that this one would be like " A Shoulder to cry on" (having no kissing scenes) but your bro is shocked when I saw that there is!!!!! I immediately screamed like omg that's such a memorable scene ? the atmosphere, the feeling, the- AHHHH hahahah and also I think the title change for this one (well) it fits with the drama....no stress or whatsoever hahaha so if you are looking for a 'feelgood' drama that also has an aesthetically pleasing cinematography I'll recommend this to You! ??

Worth The Wait!

"Rising With The Wind" is a high-quality drama that pays attention to details. The story reflects the current social phenomena and promotes professional eithics & moral values.

Before this drama was released, the intimate scenes in the trailer led me to think that it's a romantic drama. The story is actually well developed and paced well; it doesn't throw cheesy romantic scenes just for the sake of it. The plot revolving around the business challenges and opportunities under the impact of e-commerce is inspirational. I am pleasantly surprised by its high-quality production and strong acting cast.

After finish watching few episodes, I must say this is a very good drama, the plot is so different from other dramas, interesting lines and perfect pace. The leads not only good looking but their performance are superb! I was touched when seeing the female lead crying. The male lead is not a typical "cool face" bossy type investor but he showed his warm side when he saw the female lead in trouble. I like this kind of boss hahahaha! And there are many senior actors/actresses too, all with very good acting skill.

All actors in this drama are of excellent acting. Not only the main leads (Simon and Elaine) and the seasoned supporting actors (Morning Chang, etc.) performed well, the other supporting actors (e.g. The factory workers Xiao Lin and Liu Jun) are also very good......this drama is definitely a Must watch drama this 2023!

So far I'm liking this one

First Impressions as of ep 15, I'm enjoying the romance, the story build-up, and the chemistry of the two leads so far. also there's a piece of comedy so it's not boring.....Nothing feels too rushed or too forced when it comes to the romance...... And it is more female-centric to Su Ying's character and her career vs focusing on Qin Yunsheng, which is a little bit more refreshing as it does not focus on the heavy medical aspect....but don't get me wrong haha I like medical stuff too but sometimes it's one of the reasons for some dramas that includes medical stuff to be a bit draggy.......I know Zhong Chu Xi has another drama that just came out with Gong Jun, so I'm curious to see how her chemistry is with him. maybe I'll start watching that one later haha but definitely hope this one continues to be good till the end......

Well Written-- Best 'Costume' Cdrama Of 2023

Top-notch story aesthetics, unlimited flow of scripts, and super sweet light comedy--Love You Seven Times became one of my favorite dramas this 2023. The scenes are beautiful, the makeup and costumes are beautiful, the special effects are cool, and the OST is super nice. Every single song is worthy of being played on repeat! The plot has a tight rhythm and a lot of details. The acting skills of all the casts are top-notch, especially Ding Yuxi. His acting skills are delicate, layered and immersive, and he perfectly interprets the role of Chu Kong. And Actually This is the first time I have watched a drama about Chaoyue, and I feel that her acting skills are not as bad as they said, and she is still very good but yes she needs to work with it a little more but it's still not bad....

My Highlight Comment✨
There may be many parts/stories about immortal kings and fairies, and about going to mortal world to have tribulations, but Qi Shi's script is a unique infinite flow loop, which is very interesting and innovative! it made this drama more interesting! I'll definitely miss Them?

they could've done better

Doona is edited weirdly, its very oddly made, Especially for a Netflix kdrama, they usually have a high production quality and editing is usually done well so I am genuinely surprised by this one...

The editing feels like you’re in a sort of fever dream, or a state of lucid dreaming. It has a fantasy feel to it in an odd way, and it jumps between takes oddly too. This is very clear with the ending that intentionally does not clarify year timelines which would’ve been helpful for us to know any time skips....

My issue with this kind of endings is how unnecessarily ambiguous they are. Open endings work, but in few cases. In this case, it was leading up to how the couple wouldn’t make it with this industry, they should’ve been more frank and gave it like it is, either they break up and find their way back to each other eventually, or they break up, that’s it.....

My feelings this lne are complicated. On one hand, I liked the casting overall and the story has many interesting elements, and on the other hand, I feel the drama is missing a good chunk of what could’ve made it special...... but over all it's an okay drama...

And The ending was…. Fine.

The 19 kiss scenes of "Le You Yuan"

Xu Kai and Jing Tian, were so sweet and were so close that they forgot themselves but failed because of "this point".

The period drama " Wonderland of Love ",Starring Xu Kai and Jing Tian,
has increased its viewership. The two represented a weak and fake sick grandson and a strong general who fall in love with each other. The kissing scene became the highlight. And CP fans are obsessed with him. lol

When talking about the kiss scenes, the two laughed in unison and said that the "duration" of their kisses was the key to success because the director never complained about it, there were times when the kiss lasted too long and they couldn't help it. I can't help but laugh out loud! lol

"Wonderland of Love" describes a time when the court is in crisis.
The emperor's grandson "Li Ni" (played by Xu Kai), who guards the border, is forced to take on the great responsibility of countering the rebellion.
He has to deal with the General's only daughter "Cui Lin" (played by Jing Tian) who hides his true identity from him. Each one leads an army and is involved in the world war. The two face each other several times in overt and covert struggles of multiple forces, and then fall in love with each other, staging a romantic love story in which the two are committed for the country and the two will fight together........

『 THIS PART MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS 』

The two fell in love and there were 19 kissing scenes.(??) In one scene, she sweetly yelled, "What are you doing?" Then, Xu Kai kissed her (even more) The two hugged and kissed passionately. The scene was sweet and sexy tbh..... There was another scene where Xu Kai was sleeping and his face was close to Jing Tian's neck. She looked at him with eyes full of love and couldn't help but kiss him. During the rehearsal of this scene, Jing Tian couldn't stand Xu Kai's affection. I really kissed Qiao for a good position and pink bubbles flew all over the sky.

Recently, the two were interviewed and talked about interesting things behind the scenes of the kiss scene. Xu Kai laughed and said that the length of her kiss was the best because the director didn't stop and kept pointing next to him: "Kai, please, Kiss harder!" turn around. Turn around. kai!, turn around, don't stay here! Sometimes the two can't help but laugh after kissing for too long. lol Furthermore, he and Jing Tian have high noses, "We ran into each other all the time, one (kiss) scene, the noses kept fighting!"?

Xu Kai and Jing Tian worked well together. The couple's CP combination in the film was called "a battle of wits, courage, love and death." Outside the movie, Xu Kai felt that Jing Tian was just a foolish Baitian, and how could she have so many tricks and tricks. Jing Tian discovered that Xu Kai is a very talented person: "Brother Kai can change roles very quickly.
The popular word on the Internet is that he can switch between wolfdog and milk dog at will." XD XD

light drama that is fun to watch

tbh at first I didn't like the attitude of the FL like the way she just went to someone's house and even disturb his work...as a person who likes to make miniatures I do really hate to be disturb because by doing this you need focus that's why I do understand the situation he's in but I'm Also surprised that he did not reacted much then later I found out that he's emotionless.....but as the time goes by the FL improves so as him.....he is slowly opening his vault locked heart because of her I just love this drama.... after watching intense dramas watching this like makes my stress go away.....from the start till the end I only smiled it's so light that you just need to ready your snacks and your blanket and watch it in bet while it's raining outside........idk why this drama is not popular.....but for me this drama deserves more recognition..........

One Of My Favorite Live Adaptation!!

From extended sword fights to exotic locales, One Piece excels at spectacle. Each of Season 1's eight episodes features at least one highly involved set piece ( and usually more), be it a heist, an all-out brawl, or a naval battle. Even less overtly out-there sequences, like visits to an at-sea restaurant or a rich benefactor's mansion, get their own degrees of flashiness. The latter even morphs into a slasher-esque showdown that will have you on the edge of your seat. XD

It's true that live action cannot completely replicate anime or manga's ultra-expressive physical acts and explosive fight scenes. One Piece live action certainly tries its best, with some efforts working better than others. For example, when it comes to filming, One Piece tends to over-rely on extreme close-ups and canted angles to achieve an anime feel.

One Piece's execution remains strong enough to deliver a larger-than-life delight one with a strong heart. Yes, this is a series where a boy can repel a bullet with his stretchy skin, but it's also a series about a group of outcasts finding and helping each other. Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates, including later recruits Usopp and Sanji, has a specific dream they want to achieve but none of them can get there alone. Only together can these five adventurers prevail. And with their quests already off to a promising start with Season 1, it's hard not to want more of this.......So Please Release The S2 faster!!??
