Fluffy and cute

March 29, 2023

A shoulder to cry on is definitely a great improvement from the last few failed kbls that has been released.

Before watching the endings, I have been seeing comments about it. To be honest, I prepared myself for the worst but the ending was pretty decent in my opinion. I feel like people tend to equate Thai BLs with Korean BLs, but they aren't the same thing...

Anyhow, A Shoulder To Cry On does have some plot issues that could have been better though I must say, given the lack of budget and such. This drama is pretty substantial in the terms of how they were able to deliver the dialogue, scenery, and etc.

I found the romance to be cute which is still good. It's not steamy like other people have commented but I do want to remind people that you are watching a tv series that is rom-com type and not an erotica.

Still a solid show imo and I will definitely be back on rewatching it!

Cliché troupe with murder mystery ROMCOM

Mar. 13, 2023

WHOA.

Another KDRAMA I have finished this year, Crash Course In Romance is such a cute and sweet Kdrama to watch. The plot is very normative but the casts that play their roles are just too good at their delivery. To be honest, the only weak point that this show had or my very huge critique were that:

First of all, the murder mystery troupe just did not give any flavour or a sense of interest for me. I think it was very stale and bleak in terms of the writing process and just the overall progression. I feel like instead of doing this route, they could have focused more on the youngsters. Since they really made the show more interesting than the murder sub plot.

Second, I feel like that the problematic Moms weren't given proper character development. It was too fast and that there wasn’t really any sense of logic behind it. I definitely have huge irk with the last 4 episodes of the series. Like, especially with the biological Mom being added last minute. WTF was that - my literal reaction.


Aside from these two major things. Nothing else really bothered me. The couples were lovely both in the older generation and the younger generation. I really wish the youngsters had more screen time than the annoying murder arc!!

That's all.

Rom-Com to start your 2023

Feb 14, 2023

Waw, a show I binged during Valentine’s Day. It was good, sweet, and concise. Love to Hate You is definitely a show I will rewatch to replenish my dopamine. It's just to cute, fluffy, and also really hot. I guess since the casts are aged up more, I love the dynamics that they have. Especially between our leads, I feel like they are very healthy in terms of their relationships. Sure there are some misunderstandings here and there. But it is not to great extent where it makes me despise the show.

Overall, I like how the 10 episode format. Because of this there are stupid plot being thrown in the middle to make up for the running time.

I'll miss the cast so much and thank you binge studios for bringing this show into light. LOVED BINGING IT!!

cute fluffy rom-com to end the year 2022

Dec. 24, 2022

Gaus Electronics is a cute heartwarming fluffy rom-com to end the year. I feel like the Kdramas released lately for the past year or so has been very heavy and dark. So it is nice to have some rom-com to replenish and have like a break from these angsty melodramas.

Overall, Gaus Electronics follows the cliché troupe but I eat it up. Though I must say, I was more interested with the second lead couple plot more. I think it was just personal preference, I feel like the main lead just didn’t give me that suspense or interest to keep myself hook-up with their plot.

Highschool bullies type troupe

Dec. 18, 2022

Revenge of Others had a strong start but after the halfway troupe it regresses in terms of plot and writing. Likewise, I do have strong praise for the casts as they acted and put justice for their characters.

I feel like it is due to the fact that I watched more action-infused dramas and movies in the last few months more than usual that’s why I am a little harsher on my critique. Nevertheless, I do think that 12 episodes were sufficient though the ending seems rushed and concluded with many plot holes. Episode 12 was definitely the hardest episode to finish from the series.

Overall, I definitely have strong mixed opinions with the drama.

TLDR: Above average but not the best (in terms of plot progression and writing wise) highschool bullies x revenge troupe kdrama

Mafia shi

Sep 20, 2022

Kinnporsche is quite a different ride, this drama was recommended to me by a friend. So I had some hopes up with it and then I realize that we don't have the same taste in dramas...

Although mafia theme shows are something I am a huge sucker for, I can say that Kinnporsche kept me hooked to continue watching until the next episodes. Although, I did skip some scenes that didn't feel relevant to the main plot. There are some sub plots that kinda just was there to fill up some spaces, some loved it but personally for me I did not. I guess the only subplot I really liked was VegasPete. It's toxic, I know that, and typically speaking I wouldn't want that relationship either as that will drive me insane (not in a good/kinky way yk).

Personally for me, I think it was the casts that made up for the underwhelming plot of the series. I think the way the actors portray their characters make you turn off your brain and just take in whatever is happening without any complaints.

As for anything else, I just wanna emphasize on the ending? It's a little serrated... I feel like it wasn't a full closure...? or maybe they kept it open for season 2...? I feel like there was just some questions that should have been answered. But it is what it is...

fluffy but taboo romance

Sep 18, 2022

Minato Coin Laundry is one of those controversial dramas I have finished. I think the age gap between the leads can be concerning. Like I understand what the writers have done by providing past contexts between the leads but it just won't do it for me.

I guess if you can turn a blind eye into this then you should be fine with watching this show. The drama itself is fluffy but we do have a very persistent lead, Shin, and another lead who can be going around in circles, Minato. During the whole time I felt some frustration towards the progress of the story due to some dragging of the plot. However, I guess the casts' acting really made everything bearable to the point where the plot holes became unnoticeable.

So this drama is for those who just want a quick fluff with a persuasive male lead and I guess a contrasting flustered-always-yet-clumsy male lead

Extraordinary literally

August 26, 2022

Extraordinary Woo Young Woo is that drama, it is so good. The plot is uncommon and really plays with the strings of your heart. Contrary to the popularity opinions, the reason I couldn’t give a solid 10/10 rating was because I feel like the romance really did not upheld and live the expectations tied to the plot. I know that Young Woo deserves a good love life but I feel like the romance became disproportionate to the given context of the whole series. I feel like the Male Lead babies here to point where it feels like he is her babysitter and not partner. Obviously, this is something that irks me the whole time as to why I just decided to fast forward their scenes as I feel like it became like a plot filler instead.

Overall, I love all the cases they encountered and how the morally grey area in laws plays part. I think it is a good eye opening to many people to realize how some people who "win" court battles are not always morally right and that they simply have the privilege to manipulate and bend the rules to have it in their favour.

As for my hopes for season 2, I want Young Woo to have a good relationship with her estranged half-brother. I loved and lived for their short interactions in episode 16. Honestly Young Woo is the best sister ever, the fact that she put her brother first and plead to their mom about how she should be a better to the brother because Young Woo never experienced a mother figure in her up bringing really made me tear up.

I usually rewatch my Kdramas so maybe I'll like the romance portion of this show if I watch it in the near future. But until then, I can’t say that the romance is well-fitting between Young Woo and the male lead.

Easy to digest with some very little angst

July 3, 2022

Waw another Kdrama that I finished. As an avid badminton enthusiast and a player, this drama really hits close to home. Sure, I may not have pursued badminton as a career, but it really made me wonder if I followed this route instead of going to college. I really miss badminton and sure maybe I was on the high school team but those years spent were really memorable for me.

Back to the review, the main characters were not perfect and I love how they showed their flaws. It makes them more human if you know what I mean, as for the second lead couple. HOLY FAWK. I love and live for their scenes. There are points in the series where they were the ones I was looking forward to. The dynamic of both couples was just adequate. As for Taejun's mom, literally was the biggest eye sore. I still can't believe her actions or the way she thinks. It literally boils my blood.

Anyway, I think this drama is perfect for those who want the easy to digest with some very almost none existent angst to spice it up. If you are an avid fan of potato boy (if u get the reference then ur my bestie now), make sure to watch this 😉

Tears, tears, and endless tears !!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!

Feb. 12, 2022

!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!

I bravely watched this drama as I already have an idea of what the ending will be like. But it still hurts, it took me a while to finish the drama especially after episode 11, as it became gloomy and man I was going through some shits too. So I took a couple of weeks off before finally finishing this. Snowdrop is that drama, not perfect and flawless, but it has such a huge impact on me.

The actors really did well especially to my girl, Jisoo, I am really proud of her acting here. Now I can see why she got in at YG through her acting audition. She is excellent, I hope that she pursues more acting endeavours in the future. I do hope its not as gloomy as this one. As for Haein, man, he rocks, I love his acting as well. I feel like their chemistry is really off the charts. Every time I see their scenes together I wanna scream cause I can't deal with it. I feel butterflies hehehe 🦋

DO I RECOMMEND SNOWDROP? Of course, I do, though prepare yourselves some tissues. yea tissues. Lots of them.
I wanna say I hope you have fun, but fun is far from this series. 😉

Awesome youth cdrama

Jan. 7, 2022

A River Runs Through It is definitely a strong youth drama. The plot is very realistic and the leads have interesting stories, perspectives, and emotions to tell. What I love about this drama is how it made certain parts or characters in the end have an unpredictable ending. I know maybe certain viewers might not like it, but it makes it more realistic as our lives are not predominantly predictable in any shape or form.

I really love our male lead here, Shi Yi really sets the bar so high for all the other male leads in the CDRAMA world. Also can we talk about his character development? Like he really stepped up his game. I love this man so much, I don't think I can ever forget him especially on how he treats Xiaoju. From how he accepted everything and how he did that to build on himself. His character is such a chef's kiss in my opinion. He deserves everything, and to be honest, there are certain points where I got frustrated with the female lead since she is taking her god damn time. LIke sis hello.

As for other characters, there are some twists and turns that made my heart ache but I won't mention it too much since that will ruin the fun. But I feel like each character was wrapped nicely along with their own subplot. As much as I hate the writers for how they did some characters dirty. I am happy with their endings.

THO I MUST SAY, this the slowest burn youth Chinese drama I have watched as of this date. A very roller coaster ride but I definitely loved it. I really felt like that I grew up with the characters starting from their high school journeys to their University life then to their early adulthood.

Cutesy way to start the year

Jan. 2, 2022

Sweet Teeth is such a cute drama. I really love how all the leads are very bearable and not super toxic, unlike other Cdramas. I also love the growth of each character as each FLs and MLs showcases the different type of people and their way of perceiving life.

Although, what bothered me the most about this drama is the blatant ignorance towards Africa and how they kept linking diseases to the African nations. I feel like it may be the propaganda that China may have, but that part of the show made me skip as I felt uncomfortable with it. What they did is basically the same as associating Covid with China. LIke come on please, writers do better. That was really disappointing, I thought we are over associating people/countries/places with certain diseases. Honestly, I would have given this show a solid 9/10 but because of this issue, I took a star off.

As for everything else, I really liked it! So watch this drama at your own discretion!

Loving a clingy, hilarious, and romantic male lead

Nov. 14, 2021

I am living and loving for a male lead like this one. He reminds me so much of Park Hyungsik in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. If I am being honest, I was shocked at how funny, hilarious, and interesting this drama is.

Dali and Moo Hak's chemistry is just unbelievable off the roof. I love how even though Dali is kinda portrayed as a Damsel in distress type of FL, she ain't dumb! Also, I am so happy that there is no stupid breakup and time-lapse at the end. Cause I swear to God these writers be throwing that damned plot line every motherfking time. From all the depressing dramas and violent shows I watched, I love how this was like a breather for me. Definitely something I will watch just because of how comedy, romance, kinda crimeish, and art are mixed together into this one heck of a ride series.

Its those thrashy classy romance but good tier ifykwim

Oct. 19, 2021

Okay, so this Chinese drama is quite interesting. I have seen the reviews and I expected quite a lot but I feel like it just did not meet the expectations for me. I thought that the plot was decent enough but not outstanding. Given that it is a high school to adult-type Chinese drama, it is expected for it to have lots of cliches. Which I did not mind, to be honest.

However, what frustrates me is the somehow development of the two leads. I am sure that everyone loved the ending as they got together finally. But the middle arc just irked me so much since it's promoting toxicity and dependent on each other. I feel like they shouldn’t have gone this route as they tried to make such good development for the FL. It was a pain to see how the FL forces and attaches herself to the ML like a glue. I didn’t find that cute or lovely at all. It feel dehumanizing at most. I really despise that arc, if the director just removed that arc, this drama would have been a good 9.5/10 or even a 10/10 for me.

So fair warning, but everything else is great. It's just the 3/4 part that just made me almost lose my interest in this drama. But the ending did redeem the show I guess for that painful middle arc.

SO OVERALL 8/10. Do I recommend this show? Ofc but only for those who have good patience.

DAMN ROM COM DONE RIGHT

July 23, 2021

My Roommate is a Gumiho, is a rom-com done right. Like the executions are just there. So huge shoutout to the directors and producers and to the casts too!!! Sure one of the cons with fantasy rom-com is the plot doesn't make sense in some parts. But to be honest, the plot holes did not bother me. Like I barely noticed it. I think I only remembered the problems now as I am writing this review. ALSO, I do wish that they gave more room on the other couples or "ships". I feel like the secondary characters were robbed of some screen time. Sure I love, Mr. Fox and Dam's chemistry and their relationship. But man I really wanted to see more of the START UP couple, like their side story is just way too cute. And also with Dam's girl best friend and her senior. I really wanted to see more of their development. LIKE OMG DIRECTORS THESE TWO SIDE COUPLES CAN NEED TO STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES CAUSE I NEED MORE. THIS AIN'T IT. BRUH I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD. I HOPE THESE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CAN HAVE THEIR OWN PROJECTS WHERE THEY ARE THE LEAD, THE CHEMISTRY IS JUST SO GOOD. THAT IT WILL BE A WASTE IF THEY DON'T STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES. 😭

So besties, watch this drama it's so loveable and hilarious. Props to Hyeri and her character, since this is one of the few female leads who can actually speak her mind and is not a doormat. Also, I just love how loveable and not annoying her character is. She is strong, cries sometimes but not those losers female lead like ugh 😩 I hate those kinds of FL but Dam's character is just too good. Please directors more FL like her.

I guess that's a wrap for this review too. ahahaha
Enjoy!!!
