Loved it!

I decided to just check the show out, thinking that I would probably not watch it. Boy was I wrong. I was hooked in just the first half hour. The show is such a rollercoaster ride of emotions that I did not like waiting for episodes to come out. It was one of those shows I had to watch as soon a I knew a new episode was out.

The generally premise of the show seems so generic, time travel, but the execution is unique and heartwarming. So many in this genre are about going back to stop a murder. How many of those have we seen. But this one is different. At first there is no clear reason for the main character to have been sent back. He has to figure that one out himself. And I like how each thing he does seems to make things worse at first. I enjoyed the plot twists and added tension, as new goals were added. And I think the ending provided a very enjoyable solution.

I think all of the actors did a good job, but in my view, Choi Hyun Wook stole the show. Don't get me wrong, Ryeoun was very good too, but Choi Hyun Wook's energy and humor made me look forward to each of his scenes.

Give it a try! You will know very quickly if you are going to enjoy the show or not.

Different kind of drama - fast and unpredictable

Starts off nauseating for a few minutes but then settles down quite nicely into a comfortable position.

So what does it take to become a celebrity when you've got nothing? Apparently: Instagram, lots of luck, and being hella pretty.

This kdrama puts forward very actual problems and stakes today in 2023, some even coming up as a complete surprise. This series has great plot twists for sure, hard to predict!

The lead mainly acts with her eyes, it's rather interesting. Definitely a change of pace, as generally kdrama stars are all about outward expressiveness, so might not be everyone's cup of tea on that front since she's more reserved.

Unfortunately as exciting and engaging as this drama is, it still has its share of problems, most notably main story events that just plain make no sense. Some characters are tropes on legs while others… subvert those tropes really well? Just uneven all around.

But I'd be lying if I said this show didn't hold my attention from the first episode to the last. It doesn't devolve into excessive melodrama, it's actually fairly tightly paced and well acted. I could have used a couple more episodes to flesh things out which is something I rarely say with kdrama.

But the writing… damn, so contrived. In all, I'd say it's pretty good, but be ready to nod a few times like "ooooookay…?"

PEOPLE SLEEP TOO MUCH ON HARUMA'S COMEDIES

I will never shut up about how the industry of cinema, no matter which country it is, always sees as "real cinema" or "good shows" the ones who tend to be more serious or dramatic than comedy based ones, and I think that's so wrong. I genuinely think that it's so hard to actually make someone laugh so much they do it out loud or stop eating or drinking because they'd choke due to laughing.

HANA KIMI is one of those shows for me, and this is another. Haruma Miura, mostly known for playing Eren on the live action of ATTACK ON TITAN was an amazing comedian, acting wise, and I do think people should appreciate it way more.

This drama tells the story of a nice, common high schooler, Kotaro, who somehow ends up getting a samurai warrior inside of his body, which develops into so many comedy scenes that made this drama one of my favorite dramas EVER!

Overall it's just confort, funny and entertaining, I think people should hype it more, but it's definitely not a must watch if you're not intrigued by the sypnosis, still for me it's so fun and great to watch. I would always recommend this for any JDRAMA beginner.

Even better than the first season.

If you liked the first season of Sweet Home, you will definitely like the second season. I particularly like the addition of new characters, such as Jung Jin Young's character, the character Seo Yi Kyung's daughter, and many of the characters in the Crow Brigade and the new facility. The story expands to show more of the several relationships: Cha Hyun Soo and Pyeon Sang Wook, Set Yi Kyung and her daughter, as well as Lee Eun Yoo's continued development, and the evolution of the monsters. There are some good twists and turns, and some major changes for some of the main characters ... Seo Yi Kyung especially.

I can hardly wait to see where the story will go in the next season.

THIS DRAMA IS WHERE MY STANDARDS LAY

I feel like this drama is very specific regarding the people who like it. You either hate it or you love it. Luckily I'm part of the latter, and God I do think we should have more dramas or movies like these!

The plot it's very simple, Shun Oguri plays Kazumi Koyama, a young man who's to nice to say no to people, specially friends. The story revolved around friendship and being nice, at times lots of people question how he can still be nice while he's struggling, I personally would too; I love it because this is surely how the world should work, being nice should be the default, and expect the best from people too.

Sadly we live in a reality very different from this movie, which makes the drama way more conforting than it already was. For me specifically, it's an special drama because, if I'm not wrong, this is probably where Shun Oguri met Yu Yamada (one of the most beautiful women in the world in my opinion), who is now his wife and I personally love this couple so much, all of that besides having Haruma Miura paying a cute, shy student it's all I need in a drama, I genuinely think it's perfect for me and the comedy is so well written I can't help but like it.

I really loved it.........

At first I thought that I'm going to watch this after watching TayNew version of Cherry Magic. But when I watch the 1st episode of thai version it urged me to watch the japanese series and it turn out I'm really hooked with this.

If we talk about their acting skills everyone gave their best to this. When we talk about Kurasowa he is the greenest flag among green flags I must say that. and Adachi is really cute I really love his clumsy behaviour. and everytime when I'm watching their moments I'm having butterflies in my stomach. Seriously Kurasowa made my standards go even high.

So this is a must watch series and I must say that I can see Taynew is giving their best for this. and I really love watching both Japanese and Thai series.

Another hidden gem by Takahashi Issei

I love the concept of crime coordinator. It's not entirely new but fresh enough comparing to other mystery/thriller show of such. The plot twists are quite good too, even if some parts are expected, it still keeps me surprised, because of the well done acting and execution!

I love the mysterious music they always appear when "Invisible" appear. It really heightens up the vibe.

I'm actually here for Takahashi Issei and he didn't disappoint! His acting is really good..

Just wish I could see his smile or laughter which is non-existent in this show lol...

Definitely worth a watch, it's not draggy and really fun to watch. Also love the sidekicks, Ma-kun and Rose.

Very Watchable! So glad I gave it a try.

There is something about this particular cast of actors that makes this very simple sci-fi show very watchable and likable. The story is not anything particularly new, a group of people transported mysteriously through time? space?, having to make decisions about how to survive. The main question being whether or not they will devolve into a Lord of the Flies situation, everyone for themselves, or not. The theme may not be so new, but there is something special about the show, and I believe that it is the interactions between the three main characters and the others who they find themselves thrown in with that makes the show so enjoyable to watch.

Not all of the the characters are particularly likable at first, but as each of their backstories are filled in, you will find yourself becoming rather attached to them, even the side characters (including the people they left behind in our world). I don't want to give any spoilers, but I just find it particularly uplifting to watch them work through their challenges.

Had high expectation from the pilot, but was disappointed

I really think , dangerous romance didn't do justice to an amazing actor as Perth. And all goes down to his pairing with Chimon. At some point Chimon's acting really felt like forced. It was like Chimon really didn't want to act in a BL. Thus their chemistry did not feel real at all. If Gmmtv have more projects with Pert Chimon , they should better do some intensive workshops to improve the chemistry or just pair Perth with someone else. Perth deserves better?. This boy is incredible and has the potential to deliver legendary roles as in Love by chance. As for Chimon, if he doesn't want to do a BL, better not cast him in one for the sake of popularity because it is showing in the character he acts.

Name and Saifah could have saved the show given more screen time. I am soo in love with them. BL couple or not ,they are really incredible
Summary: I am really dissapointed with the show, I really like episode 1and 2 though and after that it just went down.

Also let's take a moment to point out that why a very sensitive issue such as bullying was addressed soo poorly in the series. How come the kid who was bullied became soo good friends with the person who bullied him. Okay but, is it really okay? Was there any redemption or apologies? I don't know how to feel about it, seriously.

Note: Please give papang more lead roles. He is such a good actor and has soo much potential.

At first i was hesitant to watch this series i just saw this series in a group wherein they recommend it to other kdrama fans i always encounter this title in wherever someone ask for kdrama recommendation,i was just curious back then so y not give it a try, yes at first im thinking that it kinda boring or some common romance stories but after watching the episode one i can't stop but i feel i want more.. Hahaha im so excited in every episodes theres no boring episodes in this series and the chemistry of omy and psj exploded the whole series like you want to fall inlove again and again..this series is a must watch you will never regred every tik of the clock watching it hahaha


Acting: I mean, casting Park Seojoon and Park Minyoung as the lead roles? There was no way that the acting could be anything but amazing. Both actors portrayed the original webtoon characters incredibly well, and their chemistry was also commendable!

Rewatch value 10/10
I like legal dramas. I'm starting to like melodramas. But i'm not some saddistic fucker who only watches heart wrenching dramas or intense dramas. I need feel-good shows too and this show is the best representation for it. Even with the cliches and the cringy flashbacks, I would still rewatch this any day.

Story: A sweet and light love story. The difference? The focus on online games which gave the drama some fantasy element and the interaction between friends living in the campus. If you are saturated with too many complicated love stories, this is the drama that will give you a breath of fresh air. You'll find yourself smiling most of the time. One smile = alluring. Many smiles = Excellent! My congratulations to the writer who also happened to author Shan Shan Comes to Eat - another nice sweet romance drama worth your time. I'm off to re-watch it now!

Acting/Cast: At first I was a bit worried when Zheng Shuan was cast in the role of Wei Wei. The novel described Wei Wei as a beautiful young woman with the perfect body and frankly speaking, Zheng Shuan's not the best around when it comes to having curves where curves should be. The movie version of this drama cast Angelababy as Wei Wei which was closer to the description of Wei Wei in the novel. So, having watched the movie first - I had to adjust to seeing a mediocre-looking Wei Wei in the drama but after a few episodes, it became a non-issue as the story took precedence. The shining star here is Yang Yang. His boyish charm shone through. He alone pulled through the chemistry with his leading lady when Zheng Shuan was a little stiff to start with. Watch out for those scenic and romantic scenes....and kisses! The dialogues were also excellent!
