What a ride

July 2, 2021

This drama is one of those drama that I must say is not romance base. I like how the drama does not focus on romance part like it is very subtle. I also like how each episode has its own mini story that is pretty much about what happened towards the former life of the spirits. And not gonna lie I was more focus on these mini arcs than the actual drama. Especially towards with the grandma and her ill relationship with her brother due to their fight and misunderstanding towards handling their father’s mental and physical health especially since he is considered as a “burden”. I cried buckets of tears, I couldn’t even pause the screen since I was just way too invested in that.

I definitely recommend this drama so I hope you watch it too

A really solid youth theme genre Chinese drama

May 8, 2021

It has come to end for bingeing this series and I must say I am not ready to say goodbye. I did not expect this drama to be that good! I really thought this was just some fluffy youth cdramas that I will breeze through. But all the five main characters really captured my heart. I relate so much to the family, friendship, and relationship dynamics that each character has.

Tan Song and Cheng Zi's relationship is so cute and pure! I really envied them so much. Obviously, since it is a cdrama, it is not very touchy or steamy per se, but I can feel the sweet innocent romance that they have. I must say in my 18 years of living life, I have never experienced such naive and fluffy romance. So seeing this drama really made me envious.

ALTHOUGH I AM SO MAD AT JINXIAO AND CHEN ZUI'S ENDING. WHY TF THEY DID NOT END UP TOGETHER. I NEED A SPIN-OFF STORY FOR THEM CAUSE HONEY THIS AIN'T IT. I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD HOLY. THAT'S WHY I TOOK HALF A STAR BECAUSE WHO ON EARTH DID THIS. I NEED TO SPEAK AND TALK TO THE DIRECTORS AND WRITERS CAUSE THEY DID THEM DIRTY AT THE END. YOU GAVE US ALL THESE TENSIONS JUST FOR THEM TO NOT HAVE A PROPER ENDING. Their ending was so confusing and unclear, I was literally like what on earth is happening??? Did the writer became lousy at the end or what?!!!!!

As for the other story, I won't get into too many details as it will ruin the fun and suspense. But I did not expect to laugh, then cry, grieve, and experience such a roller coaster of emotion in my life!!!

Short fluff that is forgettable

April 28, 2021

Be My Boyfriend is a pretty decent web drama. Nothing special in particular but I still like the series nonetheless. For example, there are certain parts of the series where the male lead Seungmin acts like your typical k-drama female heroine while the female lead Jina acts like the stereotypical male lead. I guess since it is a web drama, I am a bit generous on my rating. Tbh, if this is a regular drama, I would have probably given this a lower rating.

So all in all, this drama is short and fluffy. Easy to watch not emotionally draining. Something to watch when you are experiencing a drama slump like me right now who watched back to back Thai BLs. Also, I must say that the leads here have such great visuals. Especially, Jina's ex like I am not supposed to be rooting for him. But man he is so fine. Like every time he shows up I am straight up staring at him and not paying attention to anything else.

Ae and Pete is one of the few none toxic relationships in the BL world

April 28, 2021

Love By Chance season 1 is a pretty darn good series. I have seen the reviews for season 2 especially with Tin and Can's story arc. And I must say I am not sure if I will be able to watch it. As much as I love Tin and Can, I hope they can save season 2 for me.

Anyway, back to season 1. Ae is such a sweet heart. I love and live for this man. Hands down one of the best tops out here. He literally tops out everyone on my list and I mean literally. Although, Pete can be annoying with his "do you really love me?" type of validation. I understand it since he went through a lot. Especially because of that jerk Trump. How ironic that his name is Trump...

Tin and Can, well damn. I was not expecting that. I won't say too much cause I was shocked and overwhelmed but damn, I really love their dynamic especially on how Can shook Tin's personality and views about other people. That part where Can punched him was really memorable. I mean their kisses are memorable as well too hehehehe..

Strong couples and chemistry with no annoying break ups, or typical drama cliche

April 15, 2021

My Little Happiness really set the standards for ROMCOM series produced by China. This is one of the few series that really stand out there. The plot itself is nothing particular but the way they executed everything was good.

Cong Rong is such an amazing female lead. She is strong and does not need others. She is also very independent and smart. While Wen Shao Qing is such a fantastic man. The way he cherishes Cong Rong and does not misunderstand between them is amazing. I have never seen such an unproblematic couple. The way they resolve everything as soon as possible is just phenomenal.

Onto our second couple, Cheng Cheng and Wen Rao, yes they have their own issues but the way their love story progresses was amazing as well.

Both couples showed strong chemistry and it is through the roof!!! The Wen family are really good kissers LMAOOOO Like I swear Wen Shao Qing and Wen Rao are always kissing their gfs. Like damn, she ain't going away, I guess they always wanna keep their lips moist!

Can’t believe its midnight

April 8, 2021

I started this a couple hours ago and boom its 12:30 am and its already the next day.

This short Taiwanese drama is one hell of a ride. The ending scene definitely made me intrigued and almost heart broken. I have so many theories as to my that might have happen. I clearly can sense it’s something about the Dad of the ML.

Also, damn that make out session was chef’s kiss. It was pretty long too. ? I am happy that the two leads are getting another season. I hope it justifies and bring a stronger chemistry. Though, their chemistry is already fantastic. I just hope season 2 is more steamy since they are now both consenting adults.

A love that goes through the realms of the world

April 6, 2021

Love and Redemption is one heck of a ride drama. This drama deserves the rating that it has. The next part contains spoiler, read at your own risk.

The male lead, Si Feng is the most worthy and well-deserving person I have seen in Cdramas. In similarities, as the scapegoat heroine, he reminds me of Wei Wuxian from The Untamed. He went through multiple reincarnations just to get with the female lead. And you know what's so sad about it is that he is so selfless for love that he keeps hurting himself.

As for the female lead, the Goddess of War is indeed heartless and selfish in her previous self. But it is all due to that STUPID KING. I HATE THAT MAN SO MUCH. THE ENDING DID NOT GIVE ME JUSTICE. HE DESERVES WORSE PUNISHMENTS. THEY LITERALLY JUST LET HIM GET REINCARNATED AGAIN AND GET PARDONED BECAUSE HE DID IT FOR THE "THREE REALMS" WAS JUST PLAIN UNREASONABLE. I HATED HIM MORE THAN THE OTHER VILLAIN. I FEEL NO REMORSE TO WHAT HAPPEN TO HIM. FOR ALL I CARE FOR, HE CAN JUST CEASE TO EXIST.

Although, the ending did justice. I am so happy that each character got a pretty solid conclusion. The drama is one hell of a ride. 59 episodes was a bit long in my opinion. I think it would have been better as a 40-50 episode drama. Some arcs feel repetitive so I skimmed through those episodes. Henceforth, I am giving a lower rating in plot production. I guess that is the major occurrence in historical dramas. I still love it nevertheless but I hope they can find a way to resolve the draggy plots.

DAYUM WHAT A SERVE

July 5, 2021

Ok so, I never really read the reviews before I started watching it and I might be biased since I have been waiting for this drama to finish because Park Bo Young is starring. But I love this series from the beginning till end. Sure ep 15 could have been a bit better as to why I put a 9.5 there. Since I kinda had troubles understanding how Saram got back. But you know what, it is what it is.

As for the ost, whole bops. From txt to Gummy, the whole album is a whole masterpiece.

I really love how the love triangle was on the second lead couple instead of the main couple. I really love everything about the relationship dynamics of Saram and Dong Kyung. Maybe Saram was like your typical tsundre along with the main male lead for the second lead couple. But these two men are such gentlemen and they are so fine as well. Like damn, where to find them. Also, the third couple, Dong Kyung’s two colleagues were such a good couple either. Like they represent more of the cheerful and youthful couples. While our main and second lead couples are the one who suffered and overcame such obstacles in order for their relationships to flourish.

Anyway I think Dong Kyung’s little brother had the best character development in the whole series. I really love how he changed and look at him now. He may not be your typical Asian boy who graduated from college. But at least he is thriving as a Manager at the Coffee shop. And maybe people might look down on him. But hey a job is a job. And I am proud of him for accomplishing such career.

I don’t know what to do now. I really will miss this drama. I hope y’all will watch it!!!!

Astounding two main couples

April 21, 2021

Damn, I must say given the reviews of other users for this series. I was expecting it to be really bad. But this drama is not. I understand that the plot can do a bit more work but if I am being honest I did not mind its imperfection. Maybe it's the casts that saved the show. But this is pretty good!!

Fighter and Tutor's dynamic as a couple is superb and as much as the typical BL misunderstanding that happens between them. I was not agitated as other users. I believe that they have a pretty healthy relationship. Moreover, I just wanna say in that one particular scene. The trust on them towels though. How did it not fall????? HMMM Also, Fighter do you have foot fetish or smt?? Cause this man do be eating Tutor's feet at the damn time...

SAI FAH IS MY MAN SORRY ZON. BUT HOW IS THIS MAN SO CHARMING LIKE THE WHOLE TIME IN THIS SERIES. SAI FAH KEPT STEALING MY ATTENTION. LOWKEY I GOT JEALOUS OF ZON LIKE GET ME A MAN LIKE SAI FAH PLEASE. HE IS SO FINE, FUNNY, AND CARING.

Anyway, on to their relationship, I feel like Zol really was the catalyst to Zon and Sai Fah's relationship. Their relationship did not show NSFW scenes like Fighter and Tutor but those kisses were bomb as hell. Still mad the directors cut the nsfw like they already slept together. UGh /hj

My friends better step up their game cause these four are squad goals I ain't kidding. Also, that last episode gave me diabetes like literally.

I feel like this is one of the few series where both main couples are strong. NO ONE OVERSHADOWED EACH OTHER!!

Get me a Taemu please and thank you

April 8, 2022

A Business Proposal has lined the cliché up and I am devouring all of it. Everything in this series is pretty much predictable and you can kinda see how it will end. However, episodes 1-11 were too good. The execution and the delivery of the cast carried the drama. So what I am trying to say is that A Business Proposal served all the clichés that we all love.

Although the reason for my 0.5 deduction is just cause the last episode was a little underwhelming. I am seeing other people’s comments and I am definitely going to read the webtoon. Because I did not get the satisfaction that I need.... I feel like it needs more and I feel like the timing is a little rushed. They could have given this series maybe 13 or even 14 episodes just to wrap it up nicely and not leave me with this unwavering feeling of unfulfilled.

But everything else is top notched. Along all the rom-coms released recently, A Business Proposal ate and devoured all of them. A Business Proposal really up the game for the Rom-coms for the first half of 2022!

Too hot for the Rain

Edit April 26, 2023. For some reason I can't watch Sky and Prapai. So this 9.5/10 review is only the first half of the series.

Review for: Payu and Rain arc

Oh my god! Love In The Air: Payu and Rain is the bitch. They ran and pushed forth as one of my favourite bls for this year. I was originally going to wait until Nov to watch this series in a binge way. But one of my friends said that the first main couple's story was done now. So I decided to watch it right away. To be frank, I only started watching this show yesterday and I finished Payu and Rain's plot already, which were episodes 1-7. The reason I put the 9 on the story segment is because I feel like yea there are parts that don't make sense especially in episode 7. If you know, you know ahahah. Anyway, that part didn’t really bother me too much, I kinda skip my way away from what happened. So yes, in a way I kinda did shut off my brain regarding certain part of the plot. I guess the reason why some of the plot holes didn't bother me too much is because of how great the actors are in this series. If I am being honest, if the casts were only giving 'mid' tier or poor acting, I would have probably dropped this series just purely based on the plot. BUT since the casts carried the show and I just want to say how excellent the chemistry is between Payu and Rain.

In terms of their relationship, this might be one of Mame's least toxic unhealthy legal-friendly relationship that she has written. To be honest, I tend to avoid any dramas that she is involved just because of how unhealthy and how uncomfortable I felt in her other dramas I gave a shot. In which, I ultimately dropped. I don't know I just can't tolerate cheating and really pushy behaviours. However, for this one, Mame did a pretty good job in keeping Payu&Rain's relationship healthier.

I am so excited for Sky's arc to unfold so I will be back on Nov-ish... unless I get busy with other things. Anyways, until then soldiers!

I wanted more

Oct 15, 2023

Taikan Yoho is definitely one of the better bls released for the last quarter of 2023. Although, it poses the very red flag and toxic male lead, Segasaki, he is not as bad as what you might expect from the synopsis.

Obviously, this bl is adapted from a manga, so the delivery of certain lines was a bit off when the actors portrayed it. But nevertheless, it was not a huge thing for me to notice or for me to drop the show.

The plot is pretty cute but I did feel like the ending did not give a very good closure of the series. It just seemed like it got cut off right there.

I still think that the series is pretty decent in terms of comparison with the on going/recently released asian BLs.

Please give this show some love as it deserves it!

ANOTHER WAY TO REWATCH on heavy focus with our main leads

Mar. 13 , 2024

I actually did not know that this version exists until I was on my rewatching moment with The Untamed and I stumbled upon this version.

Needless to say, I definitely loved this version as well. The focus towards Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian is just chef's kiss. The fact that the subtle change in the ending really made this version so good.

As someone who loves The Untamed. I heavily vouch to not watch this special version cut and watch the original version. As this has made so much cut regarding very important details and back stories. IF YOU HAVENT THE ORIGINAL YET. However, if you are like me and love to rewatch series over and over again. Then this special version is perfect for you. It is much easier to watch given how compressed it is as well.

CHEERS !!

Amazing storyline with charismatic casts

Feb. 1, 2024

Love for Love's Sake is that Korean drama BL. It is one of the best written shows for the BL genre in a while. I am so happy and amazed at how the storyline progressed. Each episodes, the story just keeps hitting the write spot. And I am really really happy at how the Kdrama community is showing love and recognition to this type of plot line. As a big manhwa reader, this type of plot may not be other people's cup of tea as it is very unrealistic in terms of how it is a gameline and kind of like an isekai genre.

Huge shout out to the production team and the manhwa creator as they really put the work needed to make this show just fantastic. I love the "learning"?, or the theme that they were conveying. Especially with the execution of the scenes. Although, there were parts that were omitted from the manhwa. It wasn't something that bothered me as much.

In terms of the casts, I love them all. They did equally well in terms of portraying the characters to life, and they were even able to put their own little spice and twists to them.

I can't believe that the year has just started and Korea has already produced a remarkable BL that sets the standards so high.

Please continue to give the reception and love this show deserves!
