Love & Ghost

Contrary to the majority of watchers, I am enjoying a lot My Universe. The stories are short, to the point, fast paced, original and fun to watch. This one was no different.

Talay and Camp have been friends since highschool but have lost touch. They meet by accident at a camp site and secrets start being revealed. At the same time, the campsite seems to be haunted.

The story started as an enemies to lovers one but very quickly became a ghost story. The transition from a simple romcom to horror was natural and believable. But very soon I started thinking that thee was more than meets the eye here. And while expecting one twist (kind of , one of them is a ghost as well thing!) I got a completely different one. I am very happy about it because it allowed us to get a happy ending. But I was also a bit disappointed because the story suddenly was not as straight forward as promised and some of the backstory was missing. I wish they had just mentioned, in passing the origin of the tale.
The actors are cute and have good chemistry, the cinematography is correct, though often cold even in the nature (digital camera?)

There is just one huge problem with this series(My Universe) which is the music: the same song being played again and again and again....I cannot stand it anymore! Good thing I am not binging this otherwise I'd go nuts because of the annoying song.

10 different stories, 10 different perspectives on love & relationships

It's an anthology series in which all the stories are well written and well acted. I will do a small review for each of them.

EP1: 8.5/10 - Gingle Wang & Berant Zhu fall in love while filming a reality show. It's a cute story with 2 adorable characters.
EP2: 9.5/10 - a deaf man (Terrance Lau) meets a masseuse (Puff Kuo). It had great story and cinematography, wish it was an actual long movie.
EP3: 8/10 - a guy with attachment issues (Austin Lin) meets a seemingly blind girl (Lulu). Story & acting was good but I found it a bit hard to connect to the characters, still a good watch.
Ep4: 9/10 - a time traveler (Nikki Hsieh) meets an alien (Zhang Guang Chen)? You need to pay attention to understand the story. I loved the symbolism in it, we might all have different interpretations of it, that's its charm.
Ep5: 9/10 - an office manager (Johnny Yang) falls for the intern (Derek Chang). Though it didn't have the ending I wanted, it was still a good ride. (btw the story's follow up is in ep10)
Ep6: 8.5/10 - exes (JC Lin & Vivian Sung) meet again. Nice story & acting, liked the ending.
Ep7: 9/10 - a man (Chris Wu) & a woman (Dee Hsu), whose spouses are having an affair together, develop feelings. It was really interesting, the premise reminded me a bit of In the Mood for Love but obviously it's very different from that.
Ep8: 9/10 - the housewife (Esther Liu) & the breadwinner (Xiu Jie Kai) swap roles. It was sweet and heartwarming to say the least.
Ep9: 9/10 - childhood sweethearts (Ruby Lin & Kelly Lin) reuniting. My sapphic heart is happy!
Ep10: 8.5/10 - the boss (Alyssa Chia) & her assistant (Tseng Jing Hua) develop feelings. I am not a fan of boss/employee or age gap relationships so I wasn't fond of this one, but the acting was incredible. We also get glimpses of the other main characters.

If you read the webtoon, you already know the next 16 episodes are gonna be full of emotions...

Well, as somebody who read the webtoon, l was already rooting for this to be turned to a Kdrama and they did.... I just watched the first episode and already, l was crying and fuming with anger at the same time, l wonder how it's gonna be for the next 15episodes to come
Marry my husband basically has almost and l just said almost the same plot as Perfect marriage revenge, the difference is if she changes something, something will happen to another person.... A twist right??? I recommend this soooo much... Its a good way to start 2024.....tho Minyoung needs to gain weight later😭😭😭

Butterflies, Good Vibes and Giddy Feelings All Over

Saying I love this drama is an understatement. It's just so beautiful.

I love how admiration, love, maturity, friendship, and relationships were portrayed here. I love how there's no big drama to ruin the relationship. It's just so beautiful. And I'm truly at loss for words on how much to share how this drama just made me overall so happy. The good vibes it gives is just enough to tell people to watch this masterpiece.

The story transported me back to the days wherein high school was truly a mix of fun, studies, and just giddying interactions with crushes and all that. Although not all high school love stories end up everlasting, the way the story was portrayed it was enough to just root for these couples.

The way she calls him Rang Rang will always be something that giddies me up. While it may be annoying if others do it, the way she portrayed her love and admiration through calling his name was just so sweet. Ahhhh~ this show gave me so much butterflies and love. I wish they made more shows like this.

Light and refreshing!

I’ve been putting this drama on hold for sooo long, and I regret not watching it earlier *sigh*. It’s something light and refreshing to watch, not much villains, also funny especially at the forest and dinner with Wei Shan’s parents after Zhuang Yu just came back from overseas, that scenes cracked me up. I couldn’t think of any other actress to play Yu Wei Shan because this role was perfectly suited for Eshter Yu. Any funny, cute and quirky characters really suited Eshter Yu, just like in the LBFAD and Moonlight drama. Not to mention Zhang Vin character were he was initially upright but consistently sided with the FL's antiques lol.

However, I agree with other people saying the second lead couple screen time was too much to the point the story seemed dragging to me. The drama could have made it a 26-30 episodes. Anyway, the drama was decently good, funny, the FL was truly a drama queen, loved her for that.

Mini j-drama but it delivered BIG time

Loved the story/concept. What happens when you end up playing the main role in a bl drama? It first reminded me of 'A Man Who Defies the World of BL' and obviously 'Lovely Writer' that showed us the bad sides about the BL entertainment industry. But this was a totally different take. The show felt just so wholesome and all super natural, genuine and funny. And the story really went somewhere.. We get to know both actors and their backstories. And the actors did all great.. every actor in it delivered. Maybe it would have been nice if some characters got more air time but since there were only 3 episodes.. it makes sense? Nevertheless the two mains were truly great! Their facial expressions were on point, every time! And you bet I searched for the ost of this drama. It's very lovely. If it was possible I would even want to watch the bl drama they were supposed to shoot.. That even looked great! I wouldn't say no to a special episode with this content 🤡

Best xianxia of cdrama

I started watching this because of the last immortal, but i end up falling for this and in comparison this is far better drama than the last immortal...

In terms of casting, i love everyone acting because they really know how to show emotions... I can 't even tell how much i cried while watching this .

In terms of production tencent has done a great work, because every thing is top notch like set, costume, CGI, shooting angles...

This drama has the best ost i have heard so far.. Some dramas have 1 or 2 ost which are great but in this one every ost knows how to express emotions.

For xianxia fans this drama is a MUST watch and an advice for future viewers is
THIS DRAMA NEEDS PATIENCE

I will love to watch more xianxia like this...

Production is high class . Pavel acting is superb, Pooh is so cute in his role.there chemistry is awesome. I love the mystery part and the action part. Love scenes are hot and cute. They are not explicit and i love the way it still hot and convey Charlies cuteness
Cinematography: cinematography is drama appropriate. Car racing scenes look real.

Lot of Plot Twist

The story is about seven people who are doing evil things to accuse and kill an innocent girl. All of them agreed to hold the secret together. But not long after that, the innocent people know who's the culprit and manage to fight back. Sadly, all of them mostly fail. When the situation turned back, the plot twist came and it ruined what we already knew or expected. It's very interesting to see the whole story! Can't wait to see the next season!

The effect they were using to make this series is amazing! Love the battle scene and the angle they were used to shoot. Recommended to those who love Big Mouth and The Penthouse series. It's like the combination of those series into one.
