STRONG FEMALE LEAD IS WHAT WE ROOT FOR

Dec. 4, 2022

Holy cow, I am on a marathon right now. I think I will venture my way into Chinese web/short dramas now.

This show is amazing and the fact that it is just about 3 hours in total, it just felt like a really long movie. Plot is generic and cliché but the execution of the actors and the pacing overall is just chef's kiss. Not a single thing I wanted to skip except that annoying mistress chick who will not shut the fuck up.

FUCK I AM OBSESS WITH THIS COUPLE. Also, the main lead is so fucking charismatic, good lord I want him.


NOTE: this ain't even a review I guess... treat more like an informal commentary... wait but doesn't that equate to a review... uhhhhhh... brainerror404 ... BYE


Joking, but in all seriousness,

PLOT: GENERIC BUT EXCELLENT EXECUTION AND GOOD PACING

ML: FUCKING IDEAL AND GOT SO MUCH RIZZ

FL: STRONG FUCKING FEMALE LEAD, LETS GOOOOOO

CHEMISTRY: FUCK I AM JEALOUS OF WHAT THEY HAVE

Unexpectedly decent

Nov. 27, 2022

I am currrently on a kdrama slump and I thought I might go and watch some Jdramas. Came to my surprise I ended watching Rinko-san wa Shite Mitai.

For starters, yes the drama do have the kind off generic plot, but the actors did so well that the plot did not bother me at all. Also the male lead is so damn hot, what the fucking hell. I need someone like him. As for the female lead, I actually love how she dealt with the misunderstandings with the ML. Like in other jdramas I watched, the FL usually throws like big and childish tantrums and even just emotional outbursts. But here the FL slays and is the epitome of a boss ass bitch career oriented woman.

As for the romance, the romance is fucking well-done and god damn I need that fucking spice in my life. I wanna trade spots with the lead.


TLDR: concise, not dragged out. Funny and cute. Spicy. Hot. OFF THE CHART CHEMISTRY.

SO CONCISE AND FLUFFY

November 11, 2022

Roommates of Poongduck 304 just fills me up real good. MHHM MHHHM. I am so tired from o all these angsty shows and heavy weighted shows released this year that I am so happy this drama gives me the good amount of fluff I need. The story is literally your typical Kdrama plot line but I do not care cause the way the actors executed the plot is just so good.

I don't even have anything bad to say, for anyone who wants a short drama with good chemistry and cheesy romance. I heavily recommend this series! I literally screamed and paused so many times cause the feels I got were just hitting the right spots

A plot with a strong potential, sadly let down in the end

Nov. 8, 2022

Eclipse definitely had its up and downs within the story and its progression. Like the romance with Akk and Aya is amazing, the side couples' subplots are good too. But I don't know why I feel like the latter half of the series, it felt like something was missing. The progression became rugged and hollow. I don't know how to even properly described it as I was a lost for words and not necessarily in a good or positive way. The first 2/3 was good and that is why I am giving this show a higher rating as that rating reflect those episodes. However, starting with the last third, I just felt like the writers tried to spice up the show with plot twists yet it felt out of place...?

I guess I'll end my review at that cause I am not sure what to event comment anymore. Nevertheless, I would still recommend the series as the romance is good and the progression of the romance... as for the plot, I will just leave it at that.

Tears, not angst

Oct. 14, 2022

Waw GO BACK couple is that kdrama that will literally make you question and rethink about your life choices and perspectives. I did like the main plot regarding the couple.


However, the subplot that tug my heart string the most was with the FL's mom story. I am not gonna lie to you, I cried bucket of tears, I had the ugly crying. I was just sobbing so hard. I really feel like the writers did such a great job with this arc. I felt all the emotions I needed to feel. The line that goes "you can live without your parents but you can't live without your child." That hit me the hardest. Emotions just rushed through and I couldn't stop the tears. I guess the moral story of it, is to enjoy your time with your parents since once they aren't around. Then you'll really won't see them ever again. Just plain tears, I could not emphasize it enough.

Almost a masterpiece if it weren’t for that sloppy rushed ending

Sep 17, 2022

Another KDRAMA that I would have given a solid 10/10 if it weren’t for the disappointing ending. Big mouth had the greatest potential of being the kdrama of this year. Like episodes 1-12 were so fantastic and solid. I feel like I was so hooked into it and looking forward for the twist and turns of the plot. But episodes 13-14 became a little underwhelming then ep 15 was above average then ep 16 was just literal wtf. I feel like my whole reaction to ep 16 was just frustration with the writers and directors. They could have written and wrapped the story more decently. I feel like everything became so out of place. The pacing of the timelines were so jagged and jumpy. Honestly, I will just go in the bad first cause I haven't been this frustrated in a while. I think it is because I really loved this drama. Such a good series, but the ending really just didn’t serve at all.

As for the good, this is Lee Jong Suk we talking about so of course his acting is fantastic. I love the cast from his wife to the psychopath prisoners. They were all lovely, even the villains. They delivered well in their acting cause I really hated all of them.

Yea, honesty ep 1-12 solid 10/10
ep 13-14 solid 9/10
ep 15 7.5/10
ep 16 I am not even gonna bother rating it

SO FKING GOOD

Sept. 19, 2021

HOLY SHIIII, I found myself another comfort drama and that is Racket Boys. I really love the theme of family and helping others here. The value and emphasis on community really get me to tears. This drama along with Reply 1988 and When The Weather Is Fine, really makes me wanna move to a small town full of loving and supporting people. Now that I think about it, in where such town can I find that place.

Also, I am so happy with how the ending went. It really showed the reality that all of us face. Sometimes, losing is better as it can help us grow into a better individual along with our skills I really love our Racket Boys, the girls, the townspeople, the city people, and the lovable side characters that curated this warmth energy. Every episode feels fulfilling, and although some parts can be a bit unnecessary. I feel like it's up to the viewers to decide on whether they want to skip some scenes or not.

BUT ALL IN ALL. I LOVE HOW MY SHIPS SAILED SO DAMN MUCH. I LOVE HOW EVERYTHING IN THE END WRAPPED UP. It feels so good to watch everything until the very end. I really have huge kudos to the writers and directors since it was just perfect imo.

I love y'all, fictional people if I can meet you. I certainly will do anything I can to make that possible!!!

Mediocre plot but in BL standards its considered pretty average

Sept. 4, 2021

If I am being honest, I think I just kept watching this due to the actors and the cast since I love them so much. Honestly, the acting is so good and it definitely carried the show in my opinion. I feel like the plot is very weak and a lot of episodes have filler arcs so I was skipping a lot especially in the latter part of the series. The first half was okay in terms of writing but I think the writers just gave up in the last part. So many weird slow-paced parts that did not make sense at all. Like I love slow-paced arcs like in other dramas but I think the writers just kept throwing little subplots that did not really keep me interested or hook to watch the subsequent episodes.

However, I must say I definitely loved the main couple than the other couples in the drama. I really like how strong their chemistry is. Honestly for BLs sometimes, we have to lower our expectations since the budget is usually limited so I did not mind if the production is not as elegant as what other reviewers have pointed out.

THAT BEING SAID, I still recommend this drama for those who like shows in the category of "thrashy-romance" type.

Whoa a non toxic jdrama thats rare

June 26, 2021

I love everything about this show. Sure there are some parts that are slow and I kinda skipped through. But overall its good!! I love how the characters specifically the male and female lead relationship are fairly non toxic. Sure they have their up and downs but for a Japanese drama, it’s not super toxic. And the FL is such a good character as well. She’s very independent and not whiny!!!

Overall, it was a fun ride watching this show. So I definitely recommend it


ALSO THEIR DAUGHTER IS SO CUTEEEE I WISH I GET TO SEE MORE OF THEIR FAMILY SCENE 😭😭😭

UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD

June 20, 2021

From reading all the reviews, I thought that this series would be really bad but I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. Sure its trashy but its good. Like it’s those trashy good sit coms. Sure the laughing track can be annoying but it really didn’t bother me. I love the references that they put through and kinda making fun of delulu kdrama watchers!!! Also damn, I just everything ahout this drama funny as hell. I am kinda sad on the poor low reviews but it is what is. Now u see all their pov and it’s clearly different than mine. Definitely be rewatching this again since I found another comfort drama to add to my list. I feel like a lot of the kdramas lately have been way too melodramatic or just those tragic love stories and I have been feeling suffocated so I keep dropping those series. But this drama is a breather and I love it even though people consider it trashy. I guess I an fighting everyone else here as I am one of the few who loved this drama.

ANYWAY CARSON IS THE BEST GIRL FOR BEING THE CUPID TO SAILING THE SHIPS. I REALLY HOPE SHE FIND SOMEONE BETTER FOR SEASON 2!

MANIFESTING FOR SEASON 2 CAUSE I NEED RIGHT NOW 😭✋

RAM KING AND MEK BOSS THATS ALL I CAN SAY

April 24, 2021

Holy, I can't believe that RYAN PENG WON'T BE SEASON 2 PLAYING MEK. I AM LITERALLY SO SAD THAT HE WON'T BE THERE. I LIVE FOR MEK AND BOSS. I know so many people are for other couples but Mek and Boss stole my heart. I know people are saying that they were not convinced by Ryan's acting since it is dub but I must say it was pretty good. Sure the dub itself was bad but Ryan is a pretty good fit for playing the role of Mek.

Ram King is Ram King, I understand the hype since their arc is so well written and has a pretty healthy relationship. I hope they have more scenes for season 2 but they delivered!!

Bohn and Duen, I have a love and hate relationship with them. I can pretty much say that they have the generic line where one gets jealous way too easily and the lack of trust in their relationship was really frustrating. At certain points, I did skip their scenes as I felt bored and draggy on their plot.

Dr. Thara and Frong are interesting like I have an okay opinion of them. They were like I don't mind them yet I never skipped their scenes either. Well in fact I found them very chill and laid back. So for starters, I wanna see more. As they do have fewer scenes in this season,

Overall, this series shows "crackhead" energy and I laughed my ass off the whole time that I barely cared for the plot holes. !!

Second part of the story saved the series

April 19, 2021

Sotus a very interesting drama. Although, it sets the tone as a college student type of story. The execution of the scenes a definitely made the planotic and simple plot better.

Definitely the chemistry of Arthit and Kong is good. I love Arthit’s character development and Kong’s perseverance.

Maybe its cultural differences but I really don’t understand the hazing plot. If I am being honest the first half of the series I feel very disconnected and I was really close to dropping it. It took me a few days to finish the first 7 episodes while it took me like a day or two the finish the remaining.

First half 6/10, second half 9/10. That’s why I can’t give the series a perfect 10 cause the beginning really riled me up. I was like how is this top rated then I understood after the second half. Anyway WATCH THIS YALL. First half was not my cup of tea but after ep 7 thats when everything becomes better!!

Mediocre at its best

April 13, 2021

I might be biased since I already saw the rating for 2gether series but I felt that it was very underwhelming. Even Sarawat and Tine’s chemistry can’t save the show. I actually didn’t mind that they didn’t have touchy scenes. I feel like that their gazes to each other was good enough. Or how they act when they feel jealous.
I can safely say that I was convinced that they like each other.

But the series lost its magic. I used to feel the emotion that the actors delivered in the first half. Now, second half till end just feels empty. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know if I am being too critical but I was really underwhelmed with the delivery and execution. I guess the directors and producers are to blame?? Anyway see you in my review for season 2. Ill be there ASAP!!
