The Niao Niao character makes this a great and entertaining watch because she is one of the toughest and smartest drama heroines out there. Although the love story is beautiful, it is watching her stand up for herself and come into her own that makes this drama special. There is a lot of intrigue and fighting and revenge but there is also a lot of humor sprinkled throughout, which makes the 56 episodes race by. Ling Bu Yi makes for a worthy suitor who is just as principled (and stubborn) as she is, but just as emotionally damaged too. Watching the two of them clash and fall in love and clash some more is addictive. There are also some great side characters. One of my favorites was Empress Yue, who deserves an entire drama devoted to her. I also really really liked Niao Niao's interactions with the scholar.

I think this is one of the best, most epic romances around.

Darker than it looks

Gist, it's more twisted than the poster made it out to be, but it gets you clicking "next" regardless. Also, it's my bad for not reading the tag properly. It does have "slight horror" tagged on it lol

The acting is top notch, crazy action-packed adventured filled with plot twists. It's SO good! If you're looking for a thrill, you're in for a ride!

The only thing that bothered me is how the father turned out in the end. I am not a fan of the father taking revenge because he lost the bigger perspective of life. While chasing for murderer, he is losing the only family he is left with now. I mean...what if the son ends up having a murderer as a father? That is even more cruel than what had already happened.

For that reason, I really get quite disappointed towards the end, despite the murderer being a real psycho.

Also, if you're not into dark story, you could skip the parts where the murderer is retelling his story. After this storytelling, the action gets real good. I didn't regret watching it, I just wished I had skipped those dark story, because it's not really necessary to understand the whole drama.

Overall, I think the show is very well done and is probably the best thriller I've watched in terms of the excitement it gives you, though not necessarily my personal favorite for the reason above (about the father)

Watch it and judge it for yourself!

Well this is why drama should have less episodes

Honestly they ain't much you can say about this drama they had something and fumble the bag what should have been a lovely light rom con turned into a cant even use that word the Fl started of good and then went down hill am not gonna bring up her parents tbh only the dad speech on his birthday made sense i honestly feel its a tradition thing at this point cause every drama always have the hurry and get married trope even if your life ain't together and get back with you ex who abandon you just because he got successful for Ml well i cant say much to be honest he portrayed a guy who has never went in relationship sure people can say he was a wimp but he fell in love and don't wanna fumble should the they have made slightly better but lets be honest none of us are perfect without experience when it comes to love it all depend on how we were raise as for the support cast they were decent to me compare to the braindead ones this drama has its moments but it should just stick to tik tok edit for the drama to make sense

“Ready For Love?” is a well done miniseries but the ending was a bit rushed and, although it is clear that Tang Jing Xing (played by He Chang Xi) truly loves Mi Chu Xia (played by Ju Ke Er), the scene at the end between Tang Jing Xing and Mu Huai Jin (played by Wang Ze Lei) seems to be intended to leave an indirect indication of suspense about Jing Xing’s real feelings for Mi Chu Xia hinting that there might be a second season about her real identity. Whether that is the case or not, “Ready for Love? Is a really good miniseries and the leading couple has great chemistry. Enjoy it!

this is the goofiest BL i have ever seen

i just saw the movie for yuta and it was scrumptious, but the plot was NON EXISTENT, they just fought for no reason.
but because it was so ridiculous, it was funny.
some points:
- i think el hermano de jorel was the best character
- there was a weird tension between amagai and ryo, and the plot would have been 10 times better if they either kissed, fucked, or held hands fr
- it was overall kinda gay
- these dumbass bitches just kept mewing through out the whole movie (especially todoroki).
- yuta should have taken his clothes off and twerk covered in oil

(also, i never saw women in the movie, so i kept thinking about how do these guys are born, and i only could come with the answer that they get pregnant between men)

very funny movie tho

This drama was binged before it even made my currently watching list, as I just kep pressing that next episode button and before I knew it it was 1 am and it was done.

It starts off with the female lead and the male lead in bed, as the nale lead takes of his shirt to show us his very well cisseled upper body. She then changes her mind and they cut to her day to day life personality and not so nice thoughts about the male lead whoem we just saw undress on top of her ... taking us on a journey through hate to lust to missunderstandigs... All surrounded by hot steam and a whole lot of bare skin. And consent!

I love the characters in this drama as are a lot of fun to watch, both personalities and efforts put in to presenting their bodies. However I had to lower the score due to badly preformed moments of over the top comedy. For those who have seen the American show Crazy ex Girlfriend there are momnts that reminded me of that show just badly done...

Fortuatly there where only few of those but without them this could have been a 9 puerly due to entertainment value.

A drama I recommend to most who can handle some steam, skin and smoke...

P.s The male lead smokes a lot, and had me googling smoking laws in japa it is leagal to smoke in small bars who do not serve food, and certain floors in hotells in Japan...

A drama that mainly focuses on unrequited love, but the characters make up for it

This drama had an amazing start. I was hooked from the beginning and it made me wish my high school life was similar. The characters are all very lovable and there's no clear villain in this series. However, the unrequited love in this drama was a big focal point, so if you like that or relate to this, you may find no issues.

Story:
I loved all the aspects but the romance was starting to bore me a bit to the point where I started watching episodes in 2x speed.Personally, they dragged on the FML unrequited loved for the 2ML so much that it starting becoming hard to watch. If that was their goal, well done. It's also realistic since the heart wants what the heart wants and loving someone cannot go away at will. It will cloud your judgment and actions which is portrayed mainly thorough the FML, 2ML, and the ML.

Besides the romance, I love the family and friendship aspect. It was super heartwarming with a touch or realism that will leave you relating to some characters.

Acting:
The acting in this drama deserves a round of applause. Every single actor did a phenomenal job. Personally, I love the acting of the ML aka Shiyi. He had me cracking up while watching the drama and embodied his character well.

Le Tao did an amazing job too. I loved her scenes.

Music:
Oh My Goodness!!! The music was one of my favorite parts. It was so fitting and memorable that I added them to my playlists. The opening and closing were lovely paired with the scenes they put in.

Rewatch:

Would I rewatch? Probably not, mainly because of Xiajou's unrequited love.

Overall:
I would recommend this drama to people who love slow burns, have patience, and love the unrequited love trope. I laughed, cried, got mad, nostalgic, and felt a multitude of emotions while watching this.

a funny, cute, romantic, sad and yet a chaotic show!

I really enjoyed the show. The direction, production, beautiful scenery, costumes and acting by the cast was 10/10 and so unique! Perhaps during the show I had some cultural differences (knowing that it is a drama set in the Joseon era) with respect to one of the couples, but apart from that, I liked the rest of the characters and couples that were formed thanks to our matchmakers Sondeok and Jungwoo. *SPECIAL MENTION* the intros of the characters speaking to the camera giving their opinion and point of view to the different situations made it so unique, fun and charming.
The plot is interesting and in my case, captivated me from the first moment, that is why I looked forward to every Monday and Tuesday for new episodes!The first two episodes were not liked by many people but I gave it a chance, I continued watching it and thank god because it showed me that it is a good drama!
Rowoon and Yihyun showed such a cute chemistry during the show, their acting was so good and their love story it made me feel sad and curious at the same time because I really wanted to know if they would be able to be together.
I was expecting more romantic scenes from the leads but knowing the context (a historical drama) I really liked that their relationship was shown as two widowers hurt by the loss of their lovers but at the same time they allow themselves to love for the second time and be happy, having a beautiful, clumsy and innocent relationship.
I liked how it is a fun historical drama with its melodramatic touch but still not as structural as most set dramas. The cinematography, landscapes, and shots were very beautiful and remarkable throughout all the episodes, they showed and captured the traditions of that time very well.
So If you want to laugh and cry a lit bit, i super recommend this show! They worked so hard

Not only about romance

Watch this as part of our sky series. Long time heard about the good story, now that I've watched this, must admit this is a good story telling with good chemistry from the lead.

Alongside My School President this is maybe the 2nd save BL drama that I've watched. Nothing intimacy, not even a kiss until the last ep. This gonna be perfect if only they not joke about in the last scene...

This drama talk more about life lesson than romance. But the eye contact and a slight physical contact between Phupha Viriyanon (PV) & Tian Sopasitsakun (TS) is talk more than any other steamy scene. I'm not familiar with both actor, but if anyone tell me they're real couple in real life I gonna believe them.

The life lesson we can learn from this drama:
* It's harder to forgiving than apologizing, especially when we need to forgive ourselves. Like TS guilt feeling for Torfun.
* Sometimes you have to experience thing to find our your goal / meaning of something. Like TS experience the life as a teacher.
* Acceptance can be found from everywhere. Like all the people in the village that welcom TS & all the teacher with open heart.
+ When life close the door for you, they always open the window. Haha... Like the problem villagers had with the mafia & their tea leaves...

But of course almost every drama has each stupid plot. And this is no exception.
The stupid plot:
- The way PV & TS's parent force TS to back home. I mean they can ask him nicely. Just tell him his mom misses him & want to see her son. I guess TS can go home for brief moment, like holiday & come back again, right...? Although a few times they explained it & give impression that TS's parent not gonna allowed him to be back. But being the loving parent they are, eventually they'll gonna give up & just allow TS to be back. See... Stupid plot

Except the stupid plot the minus things about this drama:
- One of the most obvious products placement adv. Haha... Sometimes it so silly & forced....
- Further inspection after many times re-watch, i just realized many times how they edit the scene is so obvious they shoot in different shot. Haha... Like in the first ep, epilogue scene, suddenly the room is bright with light. Haha...
- We lack the explanation from PV side after they separated. Suddenly PV just like having change of heart

Overall this one green flag drama & save drama for you who's looking for anything without steamy scene. The only steamy scene is the bath scene & open chest by PV. Hehe...

a long review for a for a rollercoaster of emotions

I have a lot to say about this drama, so if you haven't watched it yet and want an opinion (beware of spoilers!) feel free to read my LONG review.

I'll say one thing: Gen Z is a good drama, but it suffered from repetitive and dumb script choices.

If there's Lusi and the topic interests me, I'm in. That's how I got to Gen Z. I thought about watching it while was airing, but I decided to watch it when I was ready to really dive into the narrative.

This cdrama was a rollercoaster for me. I felt anger, hate, sadness, pride, happiness, anger again, warm in my heart, and many other sensations.

I had never seen anything about Chinese medicine, and I found it very interesting. Despite a lot of information that I couldn't understand - about 75%, if I'm being honest - at various times I managed to apply the things that Dr. Ren taught, in my life. Although, of course, I think that not everything is beautiful and not all things in life you will achieve just by wanting and having faith.

Following the trajectory of the main character, Tou Tou, was my motivation to finish this drama, to be quite honest. Yes, the core of the family is interesting, but the lawyer and that envious poor boy got on the nerve. Until now, I don't know what Shen Pen saw in her, for God's sake. Well, he was the one who married her, not me, lol.

Anyway, I didn't find anyone outside of the family nucleus, apart from the best friend, interesting to follow. I thought there were so many people that it ended up being poorly developed. Interesting characters, like the doctor of Western medicine, or, as I said before, the best friend, could have been explored more than the annoying lawyer who, despite having evolved, was just annoying and a snob.

Now talking about unnecessary characters: Meng Meng.

I don't think her story wasn't important, but her existence within the plot had no use other than developing the ML's romance with the FL, and make he grows up as a person (and it's good that he became better at some point because, for the love of God, he was such a spoiled brat).

In my opinion, I would have had no problem placing her as a student or as a second female; I would prefer that to simply watching a huge disservice to psychological disorders by placing a character who clearly had a compromised mental condition to be stuck with a 25-year-old guy who basically played the role of her pseudo-boyfriend (and, no matter what you guys say, it did look like a boyfriend. sorry, guys).

There are a lot of things in this drama that I can tolerate if I try really hard, but not this one. There is no plausible and justifiable reason other than that they needed a way out for the two main characters to get even closer and decided to make the worst possible choice: creating a poorly developed female character that will only serve as a development tool for the male character. End. As always.

Like, why does she live in ML's parents' house without any psychological support? is there any logic to this? It's OBVIOUS that whoever watches it will be annoyed by the character, because there's no explanation for 27 episodes about what the hell could have happened with her!

Now, let's be honest: this drama was a representation of the patriarchal system in practice.

Basically, we had all men (the father, the ML, and the poor envious man) making mistakes after mistakes and having the women (whether the wife or the FL) wipe out and take the hit for them. This irritated me SO MUCH throughout the drama, but so much so that it got to a point where I just wanted to curse the writers.

In my opinion, the drama wanted to show that not all the wisdom and altruism in the world is a solution to pettiness. And that's exactly what pp's mother said: we give our best to strangers.

The father, basically, has all the ideas and dumps them in everyone's lap to solve them. my wife to clean it, the other one to lend it to me, this one to solve it for me, my disciple to solve the shit I caused by lying to two patients, and so it goes. Everyone smoothed things over for him, and I thought the words his son gave him was well deserved; He is extremely selfish, indeed.

The son is not left behind, obviously. He almost killed FL with his irresponsibility, he let her take the blame for him TWICE and it took the girl almost dying for him for him to become "a man". At least, he evolved, right? There are people, like the poor envious man, who spent the entire drama lamenting how difficult his life was, humiliated the FL, set her up, and other awful things but, of course, carried on as if nothing had happened, like ?????

Well, I've been through a lot of emotions with GEN Z at many, many points. I don't think it's a bad series, I just think that maybe it tested the intelligence of those who watch it a little, putting things that don't make any sense to the plots, actions without consequences (especially if coming from men), and endings without... Outcomes (?). To this day, I wonder whether or not FL is the successor.

The writers were like: Could it be? find it out!

Other than that, I loved it. I complained, but I liked it. I just thought it was kind of silly that the actor didn't kiss because he was an idol; There are so many idols out there who do this and it's fine, you know? He looks like that boy from Miss Crown and Mr. Lizard, who can't kiss because of his wife. If you want to become an actor and have these silly impediments, honestly...

Anyway. Watch it, give it a chance. Lusi puts on a great performance, we have good performances from other actors too, interesting reflections, beautiful people, hints of romance and a wonderful protagonist.

Finish this season first

The ending of this drama kept setting up season 2 that it forgot to wrap up it's this season first, and it sucks.

I actually don't have that much of a problem with this drama, sure the writing isn't top notch, and some characters were annoying, but apart from other minor nitpicks, it was still a solid and entertaining show. My only gripe with it is the inclusion of Se Eun. She was such a.. nothing character. We don't know who she is and we learn next to nothing of her other than that she was bullied and committed suicide. Which sucks the most because she's such an important character, she's basically the catalyst for the entire show and yet we don't care about her. The ending expects you to sympathize with the parents but it's hard to do that because we knew next to nothing about Se Eun, we didn't form any emotional bonds with her as a character and we were never given a chance to do so.

I feel what would've been better is a flashback episode dedicated to bringing Se Eun to light and showing the viewers who she is as a character, it should've shown So Min and the rest of the mafia/bullies as horrible people so their deaths become all the more satisfying. They also should've shown the aftermath of the deepfake thing to really nail in just how much Se Eun suffered and make the viewers sympathize with her even more. It just shows her getting teased for like a minute and then done. What? Maybe they could've shown Se Eun getting harassed by other male characters, or her losing out on opportunities because of the video, all of it which would impact her in great ways. But alas it just falls back onto the main problem that we don't know who Se Eun reallt is. It would've cleared so much mystery surrounding her character and maybe made the viewers actually care about the parents and her su!cide.

Which brings me back to my main point, the writers kept on setting up a season 2 that they forgot to finish this season first. The endings sucked because it was very clearly just a segue to the next season and not actually an ending to this one. I'm not sure if this drama has been renewed already, but I sure hope so if the writers are so confident in centering the entire season's ending as a segue to season 2. If it hasn't been renewed yet though, well that would've been just pointless.
