The greenest of the all

Jan. 26, 2024

If It's With You, Japanese BL was a show that I have been seeing and hearing for the past few weeks. When I first started it, I wasn't really feeling the plot. But it got so good so quick. Every episode I was wanting more and more. The story is very simple but the execution is so well written. To think that both leads are rare breeds who are very green flag, positive people, who wants to communicate. Actually, they communicate their feelings pretty well. Any issues that might arise they will fix it asap. I love how they are able to express their feelings without hiding it to each other. They are the ideal couple that we all should be looking for. I want what they have so bad. For such highschool type of drama, I was getting so much butterfly like I am jealous that I was not able to experience such type of love.

I also find it so ironic that the drama that I didn't expect too much from becomes one of my favourites. I think the WHOLESOME factor of the show really did it for me. It stole my heart, the lovable leads too. It's only 5 episodes but there is so much depth and substance in each episodes. I might be reading it too much but the subtle actions, the symbolisms, the way they handle what other queer people feel especially when it comes to those public affection that is normal in a heterosexual couple like holding hands between queer couples and getting judgement from it. Battling the fear of the past and the lack of acceptance of our own self identity. It just hit all the bullet points.

This drama is chef's kiss and I am so happy I started my year with this show. If It's With You is now, one of my new comfort drama that I will surely be rewatching over and over again.

I think after a while, this is the first time I feel good and passionate about writing a review. I doubt many will be able to see this. But please give this show the love that it deserves.

May we all find the green flags we are destined to be and be a green flags ourselves as well.

Fell flat but is okay

June 9, 2023

I started watching Doctor Cha when it first aired as I was captivated by the pilot episode. I have consistently was keeping up with this show until it started feeling draggy around ep 10.

I genuinely love how the ending occured but I feel like some scenes were just unnecessary. I know many people shipped her with Dr. Roy but regardless, the ending was still pretty decent in my opinion. A bit flat in terms of the plot progression.

I do wish the ex husband deserved a better punishment per se for how he treated Dr. Cha. Like her life was so pitiful during the time of their marriage. I could not even imagine the pain and suffering she had to go through for that.

I genuinely only finished this show for the sake of finishing it as I was so invested. There were definitely good moments and comedic relief that this show gave me. As a result, I would still recommend this show for people who want a funny somehow deep? Is this even considered a deep story.... Uh.... I lost my train of thoughts hopefully I edit this review when I gain my brain cells.

Anyhow, ADIOS 🫡

Fluffy, a bit anti-climatic and frustrating misunderstandings

July 12, 2022

Waw actor Jaehyun is finally hereeeeee. Yes, this review will contain major bias as I tried my best not to lower the review even more. Overall, the drama is adequate, I actually love the red hair and the psych major couple. They were the best couple of the three. I really think that they also gave spice and excitement to the overall blandness that the other two couples radiate. Jimin and Haneul's relationship was something that actually drove me insane to the point where I skip their misunderstanding scenes. Like it genuinely pained my brain on how petty it was. Like sure, I guess many relationships tend to fall into that area but to watch just DIDNT give me the interest that it should. As for our main couple, I only looked forward into Jaehyun's scenes, sure Hye soo's has her good things but the ep after 8 was just plain annoying. Like I am talking about her reaction and treatment of Jaehyun. Like the plain disregard and pushing his feelings and brushing them aside. I get it, it was something that she probably did not expect, but she DIDNT have to be that cruel to him.

That's that, I only watched it for Jaehyun and I stayed for our red hair and clean-freak psych major couple. As for the other two couples, they have some good scenes but some are heavily SKIPPABLE. Sorry, BUT RED HAIR AND PSYCH MAJOR COUPLE SUPREMACYYYYYYYYYY

ITS SO CUTE

JUNE 21, 2022

Okay, this one is too fking cute. Like I eat it up real good, for some reason, I was just loving the plot. Yes it is very simple and easy to follow. Do not expect some twisted writing here cause you will not see it. The details are adequate and thorough, but not everything will be answered. BUT I DON'T CARE CAUSE I AM EATING THIS UP REAL GOOD. The chemistry between the leads is chef's kiss and off the charts. I wish they showed more but I am pretty satisfied with their adaptation. I want they have 😭

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS CUTESY FLUFF, THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU HUN!!

LIGHT HEARTED AND NOT EMOTIONAL

June 24, 2021

I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS DRAMA. I don’t really understand the hate. Like this was filmed 2-3 years ago and just aired this year. So I can’t see why people aren’t a fan of the plot. But I will base my review from a 2017-2019 POV.

Solid in terms of acting. The story is very fluffy, shows how celebrities life and dealing with fans. Also the darkside of the industry. Along with romance. I can say that I hope this wakes up fans cause a lot of them gets hella possessive over their idols. Like u dont own them at all.

Okay I got sidetracked, here we go:
NO SECOND LEADS NO STUPID PARENT AGAINT RELATIONSHIP TROUPE. No annoying midway break up!!! LOVE IT PRETTY STRONG COUPLE. Yea I kinda hate the doormat personality of the FL but whatever. Ill give it a pass since I love SNSD. Anyway, I HATED THE ML EP 1-9. Honestly I was so close to punching him off the roof like what an asshole.

FUCK THE SECOND COUPLE OR WHATEVER SKIPPED THEIR PARTS. If they were not there Ill prolly give this drama a higher rating. But these two JJ and the girl who cant debut for some odd reason pisses me off. Idk if they ended or whatever cuz i skipped them.

Even FLs best friend and producers love arc is so much more interesting than the “second” couple. Again I dont known if they ended together cuz I couldn’t stand their scenes.

Yea so pretty much w/o second couple : 9/10

W/them: 8/10

Short and sweet

April 16, 2021

History2: Crossing the Line is sweet and fluffy. Both couples are good. This one is really a breeze to watch. Definitely recommended for someone who wants a short fluff with no heavy dramas. I also like how this one does not have that crazy gf trope, I really hate those types of shows. Sorry, not sorry.

Though what pissed me off about the plot is that it's too short. I know they tried to wrap everything up at the end so the viewers feel satisfied. But I don't think I was satisfied at all. Please I know it's been a few years and they prolly won't have a sequel for their storyline. But I hope they did more. It's really a pity that it's short but then again that's the reason why I recommend it for someone who wants one day binge type of a show.

Anyway, make sure to watch it!!

CHEMISTRY OVERLOAD

April 13, 2021

History 3: Trapped, hands down one of the steamiest and strongest chemistry out there for both main and second lead couple. However, there are major flaws in writing especially in the plot. Like how did Officer Meng went from hating Tang Yi to suddenly loving him. It was such a huge jump in terms of feelings that it bothered me so much. Also, HOW ON EARTH IS OFFICER MENG AND HIS SUBORDINATE THE ONE WHO IS LINKED WITH JACK BOTH POLICE. LIKE NOT GONNA LIE BUT THESE TWO CAN BE HUGE IMBECILES. Another huge plot that irked me is the villain, how can you make such a big deal of finding the real culprit then make it underwhelming the moment they are caught. It's like there was no climax...

Anyway on to the good stuff. Honestly, this would be a 10/10 if they fixed that storyline. I already talked about chemistry so now I'll talk about their dynamics. First of all, Officer Meng and Tang Yi, Officer Meng literally turned Tang Yi into such a soft puppy towards him only. Like, when Officer Meng did not answer him for a day, Tang Yi was about to bawl his eyes out. Also, I find their statement "let's kiss then talk" so hilarious. These two make out so good like daaaaamnnn. Their steamy scenes really got me running around my room like Tang Yi and Officer Meng are so aggressive even when they had angry s- yah that part heheh

Jack and Officer Meng's subordinate REALLY OUT HERE SHOWING WHAT LOVE CAN DO. JACK GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR THAT MAN. IF THAT AIN'T LOVE THEN IDK WHAT THAT IS. They made me so jealous like I want this kind of relationship in my life. Jack has the biggest growth in terms of character development, I really wanted more of their scenes. I hope these two actors can star in another drama or even their own spin-off cause holy mother- their chemistry is just off the roof.

Fri and Sats are now boring ?

FEB 19, 2021

Although I wasn’t a big fan of season 1, I am so interested in the story. So I am excited for seasons 2 and 3. Since it is still on air, Ill give a update every 6 as a review so I guess Ill be here 3x.

I LOVE THE PILOT EPISODE! I am so interested on how the story will unfold. Like YoonYoon couple, Jenny’s character development and more!!

March 27, 2021

OH DAMN SEASON 2 was one of a hell of a ride. I hope OHY didn’t die cuz wtf was that. Also, I feel so bad for the real Ae Gyo. She seems like she would have been a great mother if it weren’t for Dan Tae. Also, Logan wtf why didn’t u tell OHY about her daughter being alive. Like arghh


April 2, 2021

THANK GOD OHY ADMITS TO HER CRIME AND THAT THOSE BITCHES GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED. Also wtf Jenny and Mari u bitch. I hate them, worse glow down ever. And dont tell me Logan died? Wtf

Anyway looking forward for season 3 in June. So sad that my Fri and Sats are now boring again. 😭

From Queen of Tears to Viewer's Tears

April 28, 2024

Queen of Tears is that Kdrama that I have been waiting for ever since it was announced. For me, I definitely had great expectations with this series and I think it did deliver that.

I do believe that the casts carried the majority of the little plot holes that kind of existed. Nevertheless, it was a great ride of show in terms of really feeling rom-com, angsty, dramatic, and mysterious vibes of it.

The chemistry is oozing, that was something that we all cheered and devoured. Like when are we going to find our own Hyun-woo? Our main leads put their best acting and solidified their A list Kdrama actors' status for sure. Before watching the finale, I have been seeing the reviews or the criticism of other viewers. And I must say, there is a point of overly hatred towards this drama. I definitely agree that certain plot tropes and progression could have been better in a sense. Like there are couple characters that were introduced but never really was served a sense of purpose in a way. But I do think that it is more on the minimal side, and it will only really really bother you if you pay attention like a detective.

For the first quarter of 2024 kdramas, I can definitely say that Queen of Tears deserve its popularity and support from both local and international audiences.

That 2 hour finale was amazing and I think that it something I would love to rewatch again as my comfort show.

Suspenseful

Oct. 2, 2021

Squid Game is one of those dramas where humans are in such a desperate state that they have lost their ability to have human compassion. To be honest, I really love the first half of the series. I am assuming that there must be a plan for a second season as the ending implied it unless they really wanna fk us up and give that ending with no sequel.

For the characters of the Squid Game, I think that the writers really gave us a huge variety of personalities and perspectives through each ones. Though, there are some characters that I absolutely despised and thank god they are gone. But I fking hate those VIPs. I need them dead, I don't think I will be able to rest and I will not continue to shut up unless those mfs get their deserved karma for using people for their fking entertainment.

With all these, I did feel a bit underwhelmed with the latter half of season 1. I feel like the writing has become sloppy and that it kinda fell into the constant repetition that made it a bit harder to finish the series. I did skip multiple scenes in the latter half as it seems uninteresting and unnecessary. I did cry for all the characters that I loved since they all really just died. Like damn, that hurt like a bitch tbh. I wished they kept my girl like come on. But oh well, it is what it is.

SWEET, SHORT, CONCISE, BUT FULFILLING

Mar. 10, 2022

OMFG, Sematic Error adaptation is just chef's kiss. As someone who has read the manhwa of it, I try not to compare them together as obviously this is an adaptation and that there are some differences. But I just wanna throw it out here that for those who wanna see more details and understand each lead, PLEASE READ THE MANHWA. It's really good.

Is there even more to say? The leads are lovely, I want them so much. Can I please have both of them 🙈

But as with most Korean BLs, this is for someone who wants a concise and easy to follow the plot. If you are looking for yk the typical full-length kdramas, this is ain’t it for you! But please really do consider reading the manhwas as well. They are both awesomeee!!!

S-TIER DRAMA TO WRAP UP THIS YEAR

Dec. 14, 2021

Oh my gawd, this drama is the perfect cherry on top to end this goddamn year. Every single episode was packed and full of interesting stories that is clearly laid out. Definitely, the superior drama for the latter half of 2021. Park Hyungsik and Han Hyo Joo really snapped with their comeback. I couldn’t care less for what others might say but let me tell you I love this drama. From all the overhyped drama released this year, Happiness deserves better ratings and popularity.

The off the chart chemistry of Yi Hun and Sae Bom. OH MY GAWDDDDDDDD. I lowkey wished they gave us an episode just full of cliché of them being romantic cause I will literally live for that. Anyhow, the plot is perfect, the music is perfect, the cast is magnificent. One of the few dramas this year where I don't have any complaint at all. I really just wish for a special episode like is that too much to ask for? I really love our trio, Yi Hun and Sae Bom and their 'child' ahahaha. For all the other characters like the ones in the apartment can die like literally. They are down horrendous and the worst people I have ever seen. I really wish they got death instead of jail. I really don't believe that jail is the necessary punishment for them. I never felt this type of anger, I feel like Penthouse was the last drama I really felt this way.

Anyway, make sure to watch happiness, it will give you a rollercoaster of a ride. Also, prepare some tissues cause you will fking need it 😭
