Wonderful performance

Gu Chijun, played by Zhang Zhehan, is a 26-year-old male star who returned to China from Hollywood with great attention. He is domineering and cold, narcissistic, and does not play cards according to common sense. A pair of happy enemies with Xu Zhen. Once Gu Zhijun is determined in love, he will go forward bravely and devote himself to the protection of the person he loves, regardless of his superstar identity regardless of his efforts. When Xu Zhen cares about the gap between the "little assistant" and the "big star", he eliminated everything and took the initiative to approach. When Xu Zhen was in crisis, he sacrificed himself to protect himself regardless of safety.

Perfect casting!

So the cast for this is amazing and vocally insane, been listening to all of them prior to this show (even tho im late with the show) and them all together is just perfection! I do think that the show would have benefitted to having longer episodes with more variety content within it, think there was some episodes that really stood out and deserved to be longer such as the dorm one and the one with hanboks. Would love to see them play more games and just keep bonding. But it's an easy watch on Youtube, but sadly last episode does not have english subs on Youtube, but mostly concert and some clips. Even over a year after and no subs so guess I have to find last episode someplace else and rewatch.
Highly recommend this if you wanna watch something chill! Also big recommend to dive into these artists.

Last thing, Ha Hyun Sangs growth in this little show alone is insane!

Gay people having a sad story once again

Coming into this film I knew that it’s not going to be some wholesome movie where two gay guys fall for each other and live a happy life. So a story between these two ensues and it’s extremely sad, and it delivers it well!

Though I was confused sometimes if Birdy was gay at all or not, he just seemed to be a lil too comfortable with his friends (it’s confirmed he’s gay later though).

The movie wasn’t anything special in my opinion, I’ve seen plenty stories where two guys are in an environment where they can’t be who they are so an angsty romance story starts between them.

However the movie is really beautiful and well done in showing their love story. The one thing I liked most is how music is what connected them most and their song in the movie is actually the title of the movie (or just a lyric i’m not sure) but the song is beautiful and i’m definitely adding it to my spotify playlist.

I also appreciate how they made a timeskip and made their older versions reunite, it makes me hope that they continued their love- maybe not since they were hesitant with each other but I think in the end they did try again. Love never expires and i’m sure both of them were waiting to find each other again even after all the years that passed.

Anyway the story is really beautiful, I unfortunately have a very short time span so I kept pausing and stopping the movie which led me to finish it in 2 days so I couldn’t exactly bond with the characters on the level where I would cry on their sad scenes but watching the sad scenes I kept thinking to myself how hard I would cry if only I had connected to them better. Their sad scenes really do tug on your heartstrings.

So sad how love in different forms isn’t accepted. Beautiful film.

Not great

I like Hana Yori Dango even though certain plot lines are problematic. It's a little disappointing that a live-action remake has yet to show any kind of romantic chemistry between the characters, including this one.

This drama is supposed to have a great love story, except the characters have no chemistry. She is already in love with him but acts like she wants to run for the hills every time he comes near her. I understand the story is about teenagers, so the writers have to be careful about how much sexual tension they put into it. But dear god, their romance is just so dry. This is one thing I hate about Asian dramas - so many of them have very little romantic/sexual chemistry between couples who are supposed to be madly in love with each other.

Good drama

At first, I dropped this drama after a few episodes because I detest female characters who are purposely written as clumsy, whinny, and clueless. It's not endearing but really annoying. But after hearing good things about it, I decided to give it another chance and watched it till the end.

This drama has amazing character development. It starts off as kind of comedic but later becomes quite dark and emotional. The main characters go through a transformation. She becomes more mature. He gains feelings and empathy. They are star-crossed lovers and this drama really went out of its way to show the type of love that endures. They fought for each other, made sacrifices, had faith in each other and at the end stayed true to who they were. They also made each other better. She matured from a clumsy airhead to a thoughtful person. He developed feelings and was able to form relationships and appreciate others.

The ending felt rushed. One moment she was waiting for him to come back to life, the next moment he was standing behind her "I am baaaack!", they kissed, the end.

The story tended to drag sometimes but it didn't affect the plot too much.

The acting was fantastic, especially by Dylan Wang. The way he conveyed emotion after Orchid died was heart breaking.

Overall, the show has some really good acting, good music, really emotional scenes, and a very touching love story. Recommend!

Omg last drama I watched from August is Krong Karm😄.

Characters:
- Fl (Kaew) is a 19 to 20 year old girl. Her character is refreshing cuz she can protect herself from bad people. She is smart, bubbly, hardworking, and strong. One thing I don't like about her is she doesn't set boundaries with the 2nd Ml which somewhat causes a little bit argument between her and the Ml. But on the other hand I understand her because 2nd ml helps her with internship which she feels indebted to him.

- Ml (Thian) is a green flag🫠, their misunderstandings doesn't last long because Ml immediately explains his side.... gurlll the risks he did just to save Fl's life.

- ml's sis-in-law makes my blood boil. She's a spoiled brat, her trying to drag Ml and Fl down is soooo petty. Kinda unsatisfied with what happened to her. She needs a heavy punishment for what she did to Thian and his brother.

- 2nd Ml (Win) is likeable for a few episodes. He helps Kaew a lot during her internship. But when he reveals that he is an heir, lol his character is very irritating. He knows that Kaew and Thian are together but he still keeps interfering with their relationship. But I'm glad he redeemed himself at the end of the series.

- Jeng, Praew, grandmother Phrai and noi best family ever!!! I love how they also risked their lives to protect Kaew even though they aren't blood related. Jeng and his daughter Praew's scenes are so funny.

- Parents of the antagonists are the cause why the fl's life is f**ked up as well as the people surrounding her.

Plot:
- I like the story but the ending is a bit rushed. For me some deaths are unnecessary, which makes the series heavy for me despite the cheery vibes of the ost of this series.
- The romance is slow paced, which I liked. The progress on from sister brother/friend treatment to lovers.

If you like romcom with a some heavy scenes but with green flag ml. This is for you

Darker, deeper more bloodey ok 2nd part.

The second part of this drama took the otherwise "light" plot and turned it darker, much darker and wondered in to the depths of the psychopaths mind in a beautiful display of blood and art. Giving it a completely different feel to it and making it smart, kind of disgusting and pretty interesting... Consequences of actions unfold as the screen is covered with blood, lots and lots of blood.

But then came the cringe of the last episode a long with some cliches so I found myself lowering the score a bit.

It is still a relatively good watch that does not take the issue of suicide lightly while exploring it from a whole bunch of angles... one of the better attempts but it just misses its mark...

There is a clear difference between the 2 parts, not enough to motivate splitting it in two but the two parts are indeed very different. the guest actors keep on impressing and there is still just a little bit to much yelling and crying out loud for my personal taste...

What can i say, get ready to explore some gore... And watch out for that last episode.

Boring

It started out good the first 1-2 episodes and then devolved into the same boring patterns of thoughts and dialogues about romantic relationships. Nothing really exciting happened between episode 3 and 9, just going around in circles, same boring conversations, same boring thoughts from the main characters.

It also turned gradually out that everyone in the story knew each other at some level and the coincidences were too many for the story not to be annoying.

I recommend you only watch the first two episodes and episode 10 because everything in between is filler.

Lighthearted and fun, contrary to popular belief

I must say after watching the series I was surprised by how low the reviews were on the series.

First of all I mainly was interested in watching the series because of Tutoryim and honestly their performance was great, especially Yim really shocked me with how good he was on the role. It is mainly a comedic series and while people don't like it because of that I found it really fun and lighthearted.

Story wise, it's very basic, nothing that we haven't seen before but as someone that watched it without the knowledge of Bed Friend the series it might have been even better that way, as no expectations were set before hand. So if there's someone that hasn't watched Bed Friend, giving this series first a try might be a good idea!

Of course the series isn't perfect, I resonated a lot with Jade's story which might be why I also grew attached to the show and are biased to some extent, but the way in which some scenes are portrayed in order to make the audience understand the character more can honestly be not as effective as they might've thought. In this case seeing the feedback on the comment section of the episodes was a great help in understanding Jade better. Also the comedy in the series might seem unnecessary at first but I felt like it gave it more of a cheeky and fun vibe to it and unless you're someone that really doesn't like comedy, I don't see it as being that much of a big deal.

It's an overall entertaining show, and while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I highly recommend anyone that's second guessing to give it a try!

A drama that can be easily enjoyed

A drama that can be easily enjoyed . The plot isn't complicated, with some humorous moments. The male lead is very handsome, and the female lead is beautiful. The male protagonist, Gu Chijun, may seem cold and self-centered at first, with many iconic scenes, but as the story unfolds, you'll discover that he is actually quite clear-headed, kind, and principled.
The actor who plays the male protagonist Gu Chijun, Zhang Zhehan, came to my attention through 'Word of Honor' in 2021. Afterward, I watched some of his other dramas and found that he is a very talented actor who seems to immerse himself completely in his roles. Looking back at this drama from several years ago is quite interesting. As an idol drama, the plot is engaging, and I look forward to the developments. The supporting cast also gets ample time to showcase their acting skills in this drama. I'll continue to follow it.
