" Hello, hello... hellooo"
Story- The story came from a western movie, 17 Again starring Zach Efron. Although it's not original, you can tell that this has more depth and focuses on family matters/issues. Just a reminder tho that you need a box of kleenex. lol. The flashbacks will make you bawl, it's heart wrenching but beautiful at the same time. I don't want to get into details 'coz I want the viewers to feels first hand all the emotions while watching.Acting- Mad RESPECT for LDH's acting it's SIMPLY FLAWLESS!!!I love him in HDL,he was able to capture the heart of many eventhough he was just given a little screentime, but here, he's on a different level. YSH is a veteran actor but he gave LDH the spotlight. All the side characters/actors did an excellent job, it's not only the main leads that makes this drama exceptional but every single one of them. The roles fit them perfectly, so kuddos also to casting director.
Music- Don't get me started with the OST's. Whenever I hear the " Hello, hello... hellooo" bgm coming, I would grab my box of kleenex, believe me you need one.lol
Rewatch- If only I don't have tons of cdramas/kdramas lined up I would definitely rewatch this gain and again (like torturing myself)! lol.
Overall- This drama is a must watch! Give it a try and you'll never regret!!! Hands down!

As the most anticipated drama of the year, this one disappoints BIG TIME!
Story: Writer probably thinks when you throw scientific BS in the story, it'd make the drama looks like highly intellectual. Parallel universe, doppelganger, time travel, mathematical computations/formulas thrown as part of a story, is a brilliant idea ONLY if you know what you are doing, if not leave it to the experts. Writer thinks she can get away with it, but she made a big mess and doesn't know how to solve it! Those people who think this is a masterpiece is either a LMH or writer's die hard fans.
Acting casts: Thank goodness to Maximus, WDH's character and SJ. The villains are just decorations, PPL appeared more than them. Writer probably lose interest and just throw some fillers and whatever she thinks will work with the fanatics. I am not even a WDH fan but he stands out in this drama, totally overshadowed the ML. The 3 stars is for WDH, KKN and Maximus.
Music: Good thing, I liked 2 of the OST's, if not I would give this 1 star!
Rewatch value: Probably just watch WDH's scenes OR maybe just go to youtube and look for clips instead. Not gonna waste my time fast forwarding a lot of awful and cringey scenes.
Overall, this drama is for the fangirls only, nothing more nothing less.

WAIT! WHAT?????
One of the best ending in the cdrama world!!! If only I can like this drama a hundred times or more I will definitely do.Story: From beginning to end there's no boring or filler moments for me. The execution and how this drama flows is so beautiful. The love of the ML is beyond perfect, it trancends time and space, suffered 10 tribulation just to "heal" the pain of the FML and be with her. Exchanged everything to be with her, guide her and protected her. I am shocked that the ending is not rushed and have a VERY happy ending, did I say, VERY?!?!? Yup definitely a very happy ending. I couldn't ask for more. There's no actual villain in the story, only characters with different perspective.
Acting/casts: The ML and FML have amazing chemistry! The side actors are good as well. All the casts did a pretty good job, so bravo to all of them. My first time watching Cheng Yi in a drama and I am not one bit disappointed! He's really good I say. Overall, all he casts fits perfectly to the characters they are portraying.
Music: One of the best ost's out there.
Rewatch value: Yup, gonna be rewatching this for sure.

The BEST version!!!
It's funny how I watched all the other versions first before the original one, and I must say, hands down that THIS is the BEST one!I must confessed tho that I came here after watching the ML in The Legend of Fuyao. I fell in love with his character and acting in that cdrama and was anticipating his worst acting in this one since this is his old drama. Oh boy!!! I was wrong, so wrong, dang! Ethan is pure talent! I laughed and cry with his character. All actors here did a very good job. I haven't seen some of them in my present cdramas, the only one I have seen was Bruce Chen in Autumn Concerto and I say he's a very good actor. I hated him so much in AC but in this drama I laughed so hard and love his character, lol.
The story is a bit long but still worth it. Everyone gets their proper closure - from the main to the side characters. You will sometimes feel so frustrated that you wanted to grabbed the character from your laptop, lol Let me tell you, that it's okay, it's part of their character development. So just sit back and relax, enjoy the ride and be patient coz you will get a VERY happy ending.
Also, both side of the ML and FL's family were very supportive and will do what they feel what's best for their loved ones. The ML's bestfriend/secretary, Anson was hilarious!!!! And grandma was so adorable!
Overall, this is far from being perfect but will give you all the feels, you will cry and laugh will the characters and will make you realised some life choices can either lead you to be lonely or completely happy in life, it's your call. :)
Happy watching!!!!!

A MUST to your list!
❤️❤️❤️Still debating if you wanna watch this or not??? I feel you.... BUT after giving this movie a chance, I've never been so happy. Aside from watching versatile actors come together in a big screen, I was able to watch my favorite young actor- Yeo Jin-goo!Story- Wow!!!! It's dark, as it is supposed to be. He's a child kidnapped and raised by a bunch of killers and was able to adapt their skills in the process while growing up. He was betrayed by his own "family" and learned the truth and retaliates. From being an innocent child he turned into a monster overnight. Painful to watched as he slowly transform into their walking nightmare.
Acting/Casts- I have high expectations since all the veteran actors are together in this film, Yeo Jin-goo who's just 16 during this film /movie slayed his role. No wonder he gains the respect/recognition of his co-actors which is by the way the creme dela creme of kdrama world. He was a minor when they shoot this film, so when they were screening this movie he was asked to wait outside, he waited outside while eating hotdog. lmao. The veteran actors were skeptic at first since he was so young, they're worried if he can deliver the role well, since the story and his part is too dark. Surprise, surprise!!!! Yeo Jin-goo eventhough he's young, is considered as a veteran since he's been acting since he's 8. His co-actors said that all his scripts are clean, no notes or whatsoever, it means that he just read them, immersed himself to the role and BAM! He's youngest winner of Blue Dragon Film Awards... NEED I SAY MORE?❤️❤️❤️

Story- It's wacky, out of the box kind of humor. Although it's not everyone's kind of humor but the story actually revolves around relationships- family, friendship and enemies. A lot of unexpected events that will crack you up and will make you cry.
Acting/Character- As I've said earlier, I can't get pass the FML at first, but she slowly grew on me and I find her hilarious!!! I love her. So if you're like me, give her a chance, it's worth it
Well as for Xu Kai's acting... it's given... XU KAI is XU KAI, he breaks his comfort zone, ready to try different genre, although without formal acting training, he's a creme dela creme actor. If this is your first drama of XK, you may want to check Arsenal Military, The Legends and Yanxi Palace (which btw, skyrocketed his career). The supporting actors are good as well. All of them fits their roles so well.
Music- love the Formerly - Dong Zhen & Yao Yang ost!!!
Rewatch- I will definitely rewatch this again if i feel like I am pretty bored with the usual drama. This one is unique on it's own, it's like you're reading a manhua. lol Sorry, I can't explain what I am trying to say. hahaha!
Overall- Don't give up on this drama after just watching a few episodes, who knows this could turn out to be one of your all time favorite cdrama, no harm in trying! Jiāyóu!

Story- There's no "real" villain in this drama only circumstances that lead them to a certain decision. This is a very light hearted drama for those who are into rom-coms, I must say that this one is highly recommended. It's fun to watch, hilarious and witty, lots of notable scenes that you'd repeat over and again. Fast paced and not draggy at all, good numbers of episode.
Acting/Casts- This is one of the few dramas that have undeniable chemistry between the leads both on and off cam. The side characters/supporting did an awesome job as well, they were all given the chance to shine without taking the main lead's screen time. All of the casts fits perfectly to their role. Ryan Ding and ZLS is my new favorite screen partner! If they are planning to have season 2, hope they get the same casts, it'd be awful if one of them is replaced, I think everyone is perfect for their roles.
Music- Hmm the OST is a little lacking, could've been better.
Rewatched value- Don't ask me..lol I rewatched each episodes many times while waiting for the next episodes, so yeah, it's up to you, but for me, lots of cute and funny scenes that is worth going back over and again. No boring scenes, didn't skip or fast forward any scenes at all.
Overall, I think this is one of the best cdrama rom-coms I have ever watched so far so I highly recommend this one!

My First Ever Thai Drama!
Okay first, I don't know any actors from this "lakorn" nor have watched any Thai drama before this.Story- Thank goodness it's not your typical drama where the girl's stupid/naive/5 years old trapped in a full grown body of a woman and the guy's just a complete jerk without any reason, finally!!!! I like the pacing of the story as well as the development of ML and FL's relationship. Although the misunderstanding was dragged until almost the last episode but it's still bearable.
Acting/Cast: I don't know any of the actors here since this is the first lakorn that i've watched and I am not disappointed with the actors! They are all great, from the MC to supporting. You love the good ones and loathe the bad ones! Then when the bad turns to good, you begin to love them, that's how great the acting was! I think the villains did a very good job, so salute to them, bravo!
Music- I love the ost but because I am used to a lot of ost's going on in k and cdrama world, I am not used to listening to the same music playing from the start until the last eps, but maybe this is how thai drama works, so I won't judge. :)
Rewatched value- Will definitely rewatched this again but maybe skip the side love stories, I think they're great but I am really invested to the main couple, lol. Hard shipper here!
Overall- Because I love this drama so much, I will deinitely be checking other lakorns. I think I became an instant fan! yay!

The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity

I FELL IN LOVE WITH A MOVIE!
I really don't know where to start with my review...wow!!!!! I'll try to make it short...CGI , cinematography and fight scenes were flawless! 10/10
Story- I love the relationship development between the main leads, I'm surprised that the writer/director was able to fit in the "love/friendship" arc in 2 hrs time. The villains love arc was poignant and yet beautiful, I think we really can't call them villains but only people who wanted to spend their life with the people they love. You'll understand them and as much as you hate the process, in the end it'll break your heart as well. I actually was teary eyed after I saw the backstory.
For the ML's story arc, was beautifully executed. I really can't call it slow burn since it's just a 2 hrs movie, but it feels that way. Their fight scene were more of an "introduction", a process where they start to built their strong "friendship" (ahem love!). It is more of a teasing and testing their friendship. I love how they trust each other so much so that they are willing to sacrifice each other in the process. First movie that I fell in love with.
Acting/cast- I am a HUGE fan of both ML's, I've never doubted their acting prowess. They perfectly fit the role. Kuddos to the side characters/supporting casts as well, big or small part, as long as you did your best, you'll definitely shine. The movie as a whole was perfect not only because of the ML's but all characters who shone brightly in their own way.
Music- Okay, I watched the movie first and FELL head over heels with the ending song -Infatuation Tomb 痴情冢.
After watching I googled the song since I wanted to know who sing that song.... and yeah...
Traitorrrrr (it's me btw)!!!!!! OMGeeeee what abomination is this???? How can I not recognised Deng Lun's voice???
I think it's a crime to look gorgeous, can act and sing beautifully at the same time. I cannot with this guy!!! That said, I fell in love with Phoenix again.. *sigh* I'll be single forever!
Rewatched value- Need I say more? lol
Overall: Don't miss this movie just beacuse of some issues/scandal which happen 10+ years ago or you'll be missing something beautiful.

ONE WORD: DIABETES!!!!
Story- FINALLY, not the usual A*hole ML and over the top annoying FL, thank goodness!!!! Both show character development gradually as the story progresses. There's no annoying side characters as well. ML and FL talks about their problem instead of the usual "string of misunderstandings" eps. ML and FL both love, respect and support each other. AND no annoying exes!!! yay!! This drama is not draggy although there's a lot of cliches and the story isn't really new, but still it will make you wanna stay and watch until the end. The villains in this drama is very subtle not over the top kind of thing so it's something refreshing. All the characters were given the chance to shine in their own story, no single character were left behind.Acting/Cast- Haven't seen Miles Wei and Xu Ruo Han in any cdrama before but in my opinion they did great in portraying their characters so well. The chemistry is on point and yes... the KISS! Thank goodness finally, a decent kissing scene from the main leads! Hallelujah!!! Rejoice people of cdrama. Will definitely follow both the main leads upcoming dramas.
Music- Ost's great and also the side bgm sound was hilarious! lol.
Rewatch- I'll definitely be checking this drama again although I'd skip the side characters story.
Overall: Highly recommended for those who wants a fluffy and not complicated drama. Happy watching!

Acting wise, of course, there's no question if it's Yeo jin-goo and Lee Min ki, both are crème de la crème of kdrama world. The supporting casts did an excellet job as well. The story is a roller coaster ride, so be prepared.

Eyes or mouth???
I am currently watching WoH and while waiting for the sub, I went to the ML's profile to check their recent and previous work. I saw this in GJ's list and..hmmm... okay probably I'll check a few episodes and see if it's my cup of tea or not.Guess what? LMAOOOOO!!! I dont know which to cover first, my eyes or my mouth!
Story- This is just my fourth bromance/BL drama, The Untamed was the first one then followed by Winter Begonia and currently watching W0H, and oh boy this was unbelievable. I can't imagine if this kind of act was used with WoH, probably people will go crazy! I love how the ML's aren't afraid to show how they care and love each other, the skinships there and everything (no kiss, but who cares?!?!?). You can actually feel their chemistry and it's sizzling hot! Imagine both guys are gorgeous and half naked in bed? opppppssss!!! lol The story line aren't new, but the story flows smoothly, a little silly, yes. But then again we're here to enjoy the show, nothing else.
Acting/cast- Aside from the main leads, some of the supporting characters act mediocre, but some did a good job. You will know when you watch this. I've only seen GJ's drama and I have no idea about the other ML, but he's really good.
Music- I like it, it's catchy especially the intro part.
Rewatch value- Heck yes!!!!! It's hard to find chinese BL these days. ha!
Overall: Don't expect intelligent writing, if you're just here to enjoy and pass time while waiting for your drama to air, this one is really good. Very short episodes and a lot of skinship. Have fun!!!!

Story- as I said, finally it's not the usual rich guy-poor girl story. Although, there's a lot of cliche from this drama, you can ignore them because it is written in a very interesting way. FL and ML, both are kind hearted and they were able to clear all the misunderstanding really fast, so it saves you from tons of heartache where most drama would love to dragged misunderstanding almost until the last episodes.
Acting/casts- Haven't watched any drama of any actors in this drama, but after watching afew eps, I checked Ryan's page and saw The Romance of Tiger and Rose, so I started watching it as well (another drama that I would recommend people to watch).
Music- meh, they can do better.
Rewatch value- yup will definitely rewatch this a from time to time while waiting for another good drama.

One word: MASTERPIECE
SXR : Do you know what a confidant is?CFT: I do, I've been listening.
This drama caught me off guard. Everything in this drama - the quality, acting and cinematography is PERFECT!
First time in my entire life to have wished that a drama is 100 eps long! I can watch CFT and SXR all day. OMG!!! After watching this drama, I'm not sure if I can find another one like this. Now I understand why the rating is 8.1 in Douban and 9 here in Mydramalist. My life is a mess now, looking at my watch list be like... "What the hell is wrong with me?" lmaoooo!!!! I've been watching a lot of crappy dramas and yeah... I missed this MASTERPIECE! Just because I don't know the 2 male leads, I gave this one a hard pass (I want to slap myselffff!!!). Not sure if Netflix picked this one yet, but this one deserves recognition and not those typical a*hole ML and a toddler trapped in an adult's body FL kind of acting and trashy storylines ( I am guilty of watching too btw), but after watching this one, it's hard for me to look at my list and to continue some of the dramas that I am currently watching.
To be honest, I am not a fan of BL and Republican drama, but this one is a game changer. The subtle love and affection showed by the 2ML's is on a different level. I think I am a little crazy about this drama, I haven't even done watching the entire drama and yet I was already rewatching the episodes that I've just finished. I dreaded the thought of watching the last epsiode, I don't want this beautiful drama to end, but I need to know what's in store for CFT and SXR, our soulmates, so it's a bitter-sweet ending for me.
Now, I am off to reading the novel!! lol. BL novel, here I comeeeeee!!!!!

Where do I go from here????
LOVE!!! LOVE!!! LOVEEEEE!!!!Story- Although the story isn't really new, it will still make you stay up late and would want to watch the next episode! There were scenes that's a little bit slow at the latter part but then again you still don't wanna miss every single one of them.
Actors- My first time watching both main leads in a drama. At first, I don't find the ML handsome at all, but after a few eps you will find that he's really charming and he's suited for the GOD OF WAR character in terms of built and demeanor. Also, his fight scenes are one of the best I've seen so far, badass and Godlike especially in ep. 52! dang!!!! I was clapping and screaming at the same time! wow! Also, just when I thought I've seen the most heartbreaking and passionate "Wo ai ni" in the cdrama world, here comes the SS tier scene (ep. 55)!!! The way he said it, it's poignant and yet so beautiful at the same time. The main villain's acting could've been better, aside from him I think all of them did really great especially the 2ML. My only complain is the kissing scenes, I mean.. c'mon now let's give a little more passion, it wouldn't hurt to at least open their mouth a little. lol
Music- I love the ost of this drama!
Rewatch value- yup definitely will rewatch while waiting for other drama in my waitlist to air.
