➤ The premise of the plot is interesting. FL has a superpower skill to be able to hear other's thoughts because she can see with one blue eye, which is considered a curse but she uses contact lenses to cover it. She then met ML who turns out has a past history together in an ancient curse. For the unique plot, I gave an extra 0.5 points.

➤ The leading actor is unattractive

➤ The production is not only low budget but seems not seriously done.

➤ Ending: HE

OST: N/A

Watched as currently airing. Finished April 4.

➤ Pure romcom, not much of a thriller. The supernatural toned down to it's just a novel the FL wrote. A satire to many tropes writers usually put in a novel/drama, including illogical ones.

➤ Great chemistry between ML and FL.

OST: Full album (fan audio)

Watched as currently subbing. Finished April 2

➤ ML and FL have great chemistry, their romance is cute, tho not a romance genre.

➤ HE. ML wins over the last villain. FL's fiancee dies. Leaving ML and FL.

OST: ???

Watched as currently subbing. Finished March 27

➤ The plot is predictable and boring. They included the 'love triangle' with an ex-coming back trope, instead of delving more into the lives of other sharehouse members whose roles are more like fillers than supporting characters.

➤ Funny FL but she doesn't match with ML who acts old more like her father/guardian.

➤ My favorite fansubber

OST: ???

Watched as currently airing. Finished March 17 

➤ The setting is interesting, during Rama V's reign, during which historically he abolished slavery.

➤ Funny FL

➤ The romance is a super slow burn and barely there because ML likes SFL first. Although ML and FL have a good chemistry they're more like friends than lovers.

➤ Ending: FL stays in the past, and gets married to ML. SFL marries SML, who suddenly becomes a good person after his mom dies and his dad goes to jail.

OST:

"You" by Nika Anika

"What?" by Venita

Watched as currently airing. Finished March 17

➤ Friendship with lovers with great chemistry

➤ Funny ML

Final review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/ChouNa/reviews/346783

OST: N/A

Binge-watched. Finished March 14.

➤ Aged like a ripe wine despite it's a 2013 drama.

➤ Thrilling

➤ A different noona romance (no parents or colleagues/friends objections)

➤ Swoon-worthy ML

➤ Funny FL but much prudish

➤ Three-dimensional villain

➤ Great character growth on several characters (ML, FL, SFL, villain). SML although his character is like a saint, somehow seems 2 dimensional (no character growth)

➤ Nice side stories (ML's dad, FL and her mom's backstory, SFL's dad, villain's backstory, ML's friends)

➤ Life messages (also anti-death penalty social message)

➤ Being an 11-year-old drama, the visuals (video quality, costume, makeup, cinematography, etc) are not bothersome. It helps that they wear casual or business clothes (that usually go out of style). Only SFL's costumes and makeup seem outdated because she is stylish with the time period.

➤ HE: The villain surrenders and gets a life sentence, ML and FL are much in love, and ML becomes a police officer.

OST: Full album (playlist)

My favorite OST: Jung Yup "Why Did You Come Now" MV

Watched as currently airing. Finished March 10

➤ The countryside setting is beautiful

➤ Some odd arrangements: a leather couch in the open door, cute city dresses while farming?

➤ The misunderstanding leading to break up made me downgrade this drama because of a cute romance in farmland ruined by the usual stupid tropes.

Ending: HE

Review https://mydramalist.com/profile/ChouNa/reviews/348149

➤ To pass the NRTA review, they made this modern fantasy drama a folktale.

➤ ML and FL have a beautiful chemistry. ML is full of emotion. FL is cute.

➤ SML and SFL are a cute couple

➤ The cinematography and the set are top-notch. It's like vacationing on a paradise island full of flowers.

➤ Ending: bittersweet. Bitter, cos they only have 7 days to live, and then they die (even though not shown in the drama). Sweet, because at least they grow old together. They got married in its simplest way (the couple's rings, the red costume). Before, he was immortal, waiting to see her to be reincarnated 500 years later. In the end, he becomes mortal as her, so they die together. Nobody lost or mourned the other person. As a bonus, SML and SFL end up together and SML becomes the head of the island.

OST: ???

Watched as currently airing. Finished March 4

➤ The start is thrilling and intriguing but turns out to be confusing. I didn't like that the leading actress Zhu Jia Qian whom I watched for, only showed up in half of the drama since she was changed to the second leading actress. Practically her character is dead.

➤ The ending is OE for S2. Perhaps because the research is actually successful but ML hid it for his personal gain? Why need S2? Both guys are already in jail (one is really in jail the second one is written he's going to jail to pass NRTA review). FL is dead and SFL is crazy (DID). Unless the third girl finds out that she can revive SFL in the tube or FL is actually not dead.

➤ Too bad it's not longer length cos everything is such a rush. But probably if the length is mainstream length, the drama won't pass censorship because of the human genome project, human trafficking, and DID.

OST: N/A

Binge watched. Finished on February 27, 2024

➤ Watched after watching My Love in the Countryside with the same leading actor and leading actress as ML and FL

➤ ML and FL's characters will grow on you.

➤ Park Ji Hoon acts as opposite personality, and pretenses as the other personality.

➤ Funny FL, anti-hero ML

➤ Cute side couples

➤ Ending: OE. FL dies and goes back to real life. She finished her novel which will be adapted into a movie. The PD in the drama is the real PD of the drama, lol. The CEO of the production company is none other than ML. In the novel, ML takes the throne and never remarried. SML is no longer the Crown Prince and lives humbly and peacefully with SFL. TFL dies defending her mother (the Queen) and TML grieves over her death.

Final review: https://mydramalist.com/profile/ChouNa/reviews/348127

➤ The romance is steadfast from the beginning till the end

➤ The FL is a saint. Funny, pretty, and humble. And she doesn't change with her aspiration although she falls for ML.

 ➤ The ML although he's handsome and kind, he's a 2-dimensional character imo

➤ The second couple is more intriguing and challenging. The SML is a shady character, and three-dimensional. I wish their romance had more screentime.

➤ The third couple is a filler imo. I don't understand why she gets redeemed, so bitchy and lies about her pregnancy.

➤ ML's mom is despicable. Can't believe she too gets redeemed.

OST: Main Theme "Love Floods in the Field", an upbeat duo by August Vachiravit and Pearwah Nichaphat (who played brother and sister in the drama).

Watched as currently airing. Finished February 20

➤ Started nice but towards ending there are fillers with ex coming back. Should've expanded the romance of the second and third couples.

➤ Great ending, and as usual with the leading actress, a beautiful wedding

➤ Strong FL/character growth

➤ The SML and SFL characters are OTT, but the actor and actress did an amazing job playing those two despicable characters.
