Left me unsatisfied
The story started out great. Lots of potential. The acting was good. But the whole thing spun out of control. Multiple couples were formed and I was never sure who would end up together. Lots of confessions of love but no confirmation. All that being said, no one was together long enough to build any kind of chemistry. The ending was stupid and confusing and it was just the last straw for me not to give this a better review. The whole idea of the King’s game is fun but only if the order is for the duration of the game. It shouldn’t be taken so seriously that it could potentially ruin someone’s life. The ending was just so open ended that it left me very unsatisfied.Was this review helpful to you?
Loved it
After reading some reviews, not every series has to be Oscar-worthy. This just made me happy. The characters in this series were all so cute and sweet. No bullies or fights. Only confrontation was with parents and one jerk boyfriend. But I loved this so much because it had me smiling almost the entire time. Even the emotional moments were sad but beautiful. Plus the OST is so catchy and good that you want to hear it again and again. I never skipped the intro. Also added it to my playlist. So far, I have watched this series twice. It’s definitely a quick pick me up.Was this review helpful to you?
Very enjoyable
First off, it’s been a while since I finished The Eclipse so it took me a minute to remember all the references. First/Khao are just so cute together. I really felt a connection to First and his feelings. I’m a doer as well and it sometimes hurts when actions are not reciprocated. I love that it had just the right amount of story with tender scenes mixed in. I felt so comfortable watching First and Khao together. There was no awkwardness at all between them. Louis and Neo were very sweet too. And, by the way, when did Neo get so handsome and ripped? Wow. The rest of the cast was good as well. Loved the music, especially “their” song. Locations were beautiful. Will probably watch this again.Was this review helpful to you?
Loved this
Funny, I found this show by accident. I am a baby Treasure fan and I just created a Treasure playlist last month. I love their songs but I didn’t know much about them.This show was so fun. I got to know the members on a more intimate level. These boys are so cute, sweet, sensitive, and fun… on top of being super talented!
I felt so bad that some of them were super nervous and shy. But, being idols, we know they aren’t allowed or don’t have time for dating. This experience was priceless for each of them and they all grew because of it.
I will watch and listen to Treasure a lot more because of the series. I love them even more!

A very pleasant surprise
When I started watching this, I had no idea what this was about. I am also not familiar with any of the actors. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. All of the actors did a great job and are all super cute. I loved the whole concept about a night club with “hosts” and the performances were great. Love love love the main couple and Wela’s duality. But the only reason I deducted a half point from my rating was because of how they handled the love triangle. No one in love would share. It was just a bunch of boys fooling around. But that’s okay. Hope they have a lot more projects.Was this review helpful to you?

This was fantastic
I’m embarrassed to say that I put this one on hold after watching the first couple episodes. One of my biggest dislkes is someone pretending to be something they aren’t. So, once I saw where it was going I put it on hold.I just went back to it and binged watched the rest of the 32 episodes in a few days. This was incredible.
I am now the biggest Yoo Seoung Ho fan on the planet. That man can act! This role required him to: 1) act like a cold and demanding boss, 2) act like someone who is lonely with no social skills, 3) act like a spoiled child, 4) act like a child experiencing happiness for the first time, 5) act like a child being inquisitive and learning new things for the first time, 6) falling in love for the first time, 7) being completely heartbroken, and 8) being intelligent and compassionate.
HIS EYES ARE THE MOST EXPRESSIVE I HAVE EVER SEEN. His crying scenes nearly broke me.
The rest of the cast did a great job too. This is one of the best I have watched.

A little confusing but great
The whole Doom and God storyline was a little confusing. What were they doing? What could they do? Did he have powers? He was driving everywhere but apparently could appear wherever he wanted. It was confusing but not to the point that it made the series less great in my opinion.Park Bo Young is one of my favorite actresses. I thought the chemistry was off the charts with In Guk. The second couple (love triangle) was tense at times but sweet. I think she decided on the right guy.
My favorite character was her brother. My gosh he was super funny and this was needed as I cried my eyes out several times.
it was a big emotional buildup to the last episode and I was ready for a fantastic ending with a beautiful wedding. There was a happy ending but no wedding. I just don’t get why she avoided marrying him. This series needed a wedding and a send off to a honeymoon to make it a really satisfying ending. Not sure why this couldn’t happen since it seems like they were grasping at material. Everyone making kimchi could have been cut for a wedding.
These few things deducted half a point or this would have been a 10!

I liked it
I didn’t know this pop group. But I will listen to their music now. So many reviews have said how bad the acting was but I think they did a great job. I agree, their English was bad. But I thought they pulled it off great using all members of the group in drastically different roles. And, yes, Nine is beautiful.I would have liked at least one episode after their confessions. The ending kind of left me a little unsatisfied. But I enjoyed this short series and was thoroughly entertained.

Could have been great
The whole plan was confusing to me. Was it because their mothers pushed them into it? The mothers were a little overbearing but I didn’t get that they were being forced. So what was the plan? Get married but not be together? They each loved someone else. If the girls were going to run away, why didn’t they do that first instead of planning an extravagant wedding?The girls were adorable and Lom was drop dead gorgeous. All were great actors. But I’m sorry, Nuea just got on my nerves. I didn’t see him with Lom and didn’t sense any chemistry between them.
Seeing the LITA cast was really great though. The wedding and then the proposal was worth watching if you loved that series.

I’m not sure but here’s my take
I don’t think the boy was in love and I don’t think either man was gay. The boy didn’t want to be in the play to begin with. Then the man embarrassed him in front of everyone and wanted him replaced. The boy learned about the man’s method acting and decided to show the man how he could do the same thing and how well he could act. All the things he did seemed to tie in with his character. The hanging went a little far but he knew he wouldn’t die and really scared the man. The man got played. Unfortunately, the man, although he loved his wife, did fall for the boy somewhere along the way. Mid-life crisis I guess. Very clever story.Was this review helpful to you?
interesting concept
This series has an interesting concept. The actors were good. The story went a little slow for me. The ending was sad and happy. I thought too much time passed and he should have moved on. But I guess he was an introvert and had trouble meeting people. He just kept thinking about his robot and wouldn’t let him go. Glad he was happy in the end.Overall, the series is interesting enough to give it a watch. This concept was very interesting. If this was a possibility in real life, I’d order one today.

Pleasantly Surprised
I literally picked this to watch based on the picture. They were so cute I thought I’d give it a shot. I am so happy I did.Shibata has a heart of gold and just can’t help but do what she can to help the other person. Her downfall is that she is so kind that she can’t recognize when someone is trying to take advantage of her.
The story and the relationships that follow is one of the funniest I’ve seen. Laugh out loud funny. These actors are great. There was a love triangle but it all worked out.
I gave this a 9 only because I really wanted a little more romance. But totally worth your time.

One bad apple…
Wow, I was not expecting this from GMMTV.The quality was up to their typical standards but the script! Awful! It started out cute but then the main couple spent the rest of the series fighting with each other. There was misunderstanding after misunderstanding!
And neither one would talk. Ugh. Pawin was just depressing. When they finally got together there was zero chemistry and almost cringey to see them together.
The side couples were great. And I liked all the side stories. But that main story was just boring and depressing. I thought Marc’s acting was good and he did a great job with the storyline about his mother. I just really didn’t like Pawin. But looks like he may be out of a job anyway.

I loved this
Contrary to the low opinions, I loved this series! Was this perfect? No. Was all the acting great? No. Was I glued to it? YES!This series was like nothing I have ever seen before. It gave you a glimpse into the lives of actors and the acting industry. Lots of drama… friendships, hooking up, love, backstabbing, manipulation, murder, revenge, etc. The list goes on and on. I never knew what would happen next and I loved it.
Most of the actors were great. Too many to name them all but I especially liked Gun and Korn. Both are cute and good actors. Also, Weha and Wayu made such a cute couple.
I’m not exactly sure why they would cast Leo in the role of Pitch. He’s not that talented. Plus, he’s not attractive enough to have two men fighting over him. Maybe give him a cuter hairstyle?? He just wasn’t that believable to me. Then, strangely, he just disappeared in the whole last episode.
I don’t know why the reviews say it was confusing. I wasn’t confused. It was like any other mystery. It’s so good. Sin’s story had me in tears! There were many twists and turns with the relationships in the house and you never knew who could be trusted. The ending was surprising.

This was super cute
Some Japanese characters can be a little over the top which is what Toki is. But, instead of cringy, I thought he was super cute. Sahara was enamored with his cuteness.All the lead actors in this series are very pleasing to the eye! Sahara - oh my lord.
The story itself included lots of stories about their past which made their relationship work.
Even though Sahara was a teacher and Toki a student, they waited patiently for graduation.
This is very fun, light, and enjoyable. Good watch for a binge type of day.
