    1. 2 Moons

    Thai Drama - 2017, 12 episodes

    6.0

    Watch history: January 1th - January 2nd 2020  I  Platform: Youtube
    OST: 1 2 3 4 5 I Love You 

    Final Thoughts:
    Honestly the acting of the main couple was so bad and they felt not a least bit comfortable with each other so i just couldnt really ship them. The story or rather plot progression is also so so boring and the scenes are too slow paced.
     I finished it bc the actor of Wayo was just extremely cute (especially with the glasses).  And since the cast complety changed for the second season there is no reason left for me to watch it.

    side note: I dont want to be ungrateful to the subbers hard work but man the personal notes at the top were so annoying!

  • Love Sick

    2. Love Sick

    Thai Drama - 2014, 12 episodes

    9.0

    Watch history: January 2nd - January 4th 2020  I  Platform: Netflix Thailand
    OST: Playlist (bc I loved every song!)

    Final Thoughts:
    Rewatching this I became crazy for Phun and Noh couple all over again! I love them and their love story so much! As soon as I finished this I though about asking my friend to watch it with me agan XD

    But this drama is in no way perfect. There are a bunch of bad directed and edited (or rather non edited) scenes, the acting of many side characters is not good (sugar coated).
    Jeed is such an annoying gold digger bitch, I really couldnt stand her.

    And also I'm conflicted about Phun and No's decitions to sacrifies their happyness, their lives, for their current girlfriends bc they are... girls? I mean I love how nice they are but their logic doesnt make sense and is over the top. You're not automatically an asshole if you breakup with your girlfirend POLITELY bc you dont feel love for her anymore. Isnt it worse being with someone and pretending? Its crappy for both sides.

    But THE MELODRAMA  is also an exciting thing for me, crying and waiting when everythings gonna be ok again XD

    I didnt like the plot. And Type was too selfish and agressive most of the time and never really changed until episode 12. i don't feel blissful when watching this couple bc I feel like Type could snap any time.
    ----------------------------------------------SPOILER---------------------------------------------------
    Types comment at the end that Petes and Tins boyfriends are 'funny'  wtf? They think theyre normal? Pete and Ae have the healthiest relationship on campus!

    This show brought me  so much joy I can even explain it. Eventhough the production and levels acting are low, the story, main characters and their dialogue are excellent! I felt very emotional in every damn episode. I hope I will find more dramas like this in the future.
    -----------------------------------------------SPOILER--------------------------------------------------
    I‘m sad it‘s over but I‘m very happy about the ending :) the last scenes were Noh released the bird from the cage and told the auntie that Phun is his boyfriend was a greate metaphor<3

    Thai Drama - 2019, 3 episodes

    7.5

     Watched on: February 1 l   Platform: Youtube

    Final Thoughts:
    A cute addition to our beloved couples from Love By Chance and Love Sick <3
    Noh changed into a flower boy with muscles wich took me  a sec to get used to bc I was way too used to the 17 yo sporty young boy  he was in Love Sick XD. He also became a little (or much) bitchy and now we know who is the wifey between the two.

    well Perth and Saint were different characters than in Love By Chance and Saint gave me such a shock with his bad boy top aura that I cry laughed at firs, and enjoyed it very much at second ;P

    I didnt get and dig the story and characters of Mean and Plan tho. Felt much like 2000 to 2010 kdrama romcoms with rude ML and dumb FL (e.g It Started With A Kiss, Full House)

    OST: none (it was fine but nothing special)

    Final Thoughts:
    I was only curious about how they gonna do the gay character love story. Well it was not that good. too plain and too unexplored and random cut. I liked the supporting ouples but not the main couple, and also boring and at times annoying second male lead.
    This drama follows the basic rom com and reach guy poor girl story since the 2000th and I'm so sick of it.

    I love very much how it ended.
    The first episodes were frustrating bc of Khai but I really like the actor so it wasnt that hard to watch and then from ep 7 the plot and the characters started to gradually develop and it was at times cute, exciting and melodramatic.
    (Best)friends to lovers is also one of my favorite plots.
    Oh and I LOVED the fashion of the characters, everyone had a unique but not ugly style. And the oversized cloths made Gun/Third so much more cute!

    Watched it with Luna. Still surprised we didnt drop it... its fricking 2h long -_- and we sat through it all, well at least we could make some fun of it. But the female lead wasnt even ridiculous, she was damn annoying and sometimes creepy when she pushed herself on her 'ahjussi'
    And btw. since when did Baro become an ahjussi?

    Final Thoughts:
    I loved every episode and every character in this drama. And every little plot twist.
    The sci-fi, modern time + palace intrigues and wuxia genre fusion was done magnificent.
    From AvenueX I learned that the novel isn't written as well as the drama so I'm surprised and very thanksful to the script writer.  Can't wait for the second season.

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 41 episodes

    8.0

    Watch history: February 21 to February 29  l   Platform:  Netflix Germany

    OST: Letter From The Wind (opening)     Amazing (ending)

    Expectations:
    I like the concept of younger male lead older female lead. i've een a trailer on instagram and I also like the male leads character and the office setting. It gives me also warm vibes and I think this drama will be cute, positive romance and slice of life maybe too.

    Final Thoughts:
    This drama was indeed more than a typical Romance focused story. All the characters were interesting and I felt with all of them and wished them well. The romance wasn't too excessive as well the as the drama aspects. All were in the perfect ratio. If I needed to nag I would say the female lead was a bit too childish in her mannerisms sometimes (Not what she did, but how she expressed herself).
    The ending and the whloe drama overall gave me a happy and warm feeling and I really was immersed in the world of this drama wich means the plot progression felt realistic and the characters authentic. I will very much like to watch the next drama by this director and screen writer couple.

  • To Get Her

    14. To Get Her

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 30 episodes

    8.0

    Watch History: March 1 to March 7   I    Platform:  Official Youtube

    OST: Opening

    Expectations:
    I like Daddi Tangs visuals and expressions a lot judging from the trailer( (kinda different, I see that he is a rookie actor but thats actually what I like).  It looks like a higher budget production with funny and cute plot.

    Final Thoughts:
    This drama was very cute I liked the fact that it wasnt about two individuals falling in love and us seeing them and hoping for them to get together like many other rom coms, but they were already a couple/married and had to ovecome some random cliche drama plots of a historical cdrama in a funny way. This drama was a parody to many things but it still had its serious moments. I loved every character (ok except the emperor, he was just a jerk and not funny).
    As the whole drama itself the happy ending was unrealistically positive.
    ------------------------------[SPOILER]-----------------------------------------------------------------
     with suddently the NPC characters of the game popping up in real life without any explanaition. While watching it I was thinking that maybe at the end they show that all the other characters in the game were other beta tester players too, wouldt that be logical and cool? And when they finish the game they all could meet each other offline and continue being friends!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     In fact, there was no explanation to anything that needed one XD but it was still enjoyable, you just dont need to think much when watching it^^

    OST:  Ending   I   Full Cast Song

    Final Thoughts:
    Like many watchers I was very intrigued by the synopsys, but sadly the execution was just horrible and nothing else. This hugely failed in directing, acting and even editing the bgm (many times unfitting the scene and annoying repeating intrumentals). I don't even want to list other examples bc there too many. The more I watched of this drama the more annoyed I got.
    Why did I give it a 5 star still? Just because there were a few cute romance and comedy scenes (even though not well acted).

    Watched this with my friend through internet. This was actully really good, didnt feel like a special but more like an unaired ThartType episode (probably it is idk). Thankfully Type became more mature after dating Tharn for 4 years.
    The cat and dog ears was such a random but cute scene =^^=
    I also liked that we saw every character and heared their further plans.

    Watch History: March 9 to March 22 (on air)  l   Platform: Kissasian
    FAV OST:  Gaho - Begin , VERIVERY - With Us, Stone

    Final thoughts:
    This drama wasn't as good as I expecte it to be. Judging from the ensemble of the different characters with their own life story I expected this drama to give each one of them enough limelight. Sadly as it is typical for kdrama, they were overshadowed by the male and female lead, boeing revenge story and villians (Chaebol old geezer being crazy about money and his son being tormented by daddy issues *rme*) and stupid love striangle. It was made too abvious that "Sae Ro Yi's Gang" was just "Sae Ro Yi's Gang" and their purpose and problems were made to be solved by our male lead and make him look good.
    I still enjoyed Park Seo Juns character, he was cute and unrealistically noble but its okay :)While I could cope with the romance, I didnt ship the couple.
    --------------------------------------------------SPOILER--------------------------------------------------
     Especially at the end  were we see Sae Ro Yi and Yi Seo officially being in a realationship and enjoying dates, I felt discompfort.
    Eventhough Yi seo did work hard to make Ro Yi happy, they jus don't match as a couple. In every aspect imo.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I enjoyed the drama bc I liked to see Sae Ro Yi becoming happy and rising as a buiseness with his unending fighting spirit. Gave mme also some energy and motivation :)

    Expectation:
    Gun <3 The story is very interesting.

    Final thoughts:
    Going into this drama I was ready to experince some dark things and bullying. This was indeednot a happy story but it wasnt as shocking and exciting as I expected.
    I wasn’t emotionally invested in any of the characters besides maybe our hero Pang and thats more at the last third of the drama. The first episodes felt unrelevant to the story since they  just focused on one character and their school life and powers without including the other students of the gifted class and more important the main hero since only Pang did bring the story forward and a episode withut him felt like a filler.  (even if it wasnt)
    That being said I felt like I was watching a shonen anime of some sort XD and I liked it and I want to see how the story ends and hopefully our hero wins over the evil guy.

    ---------------------------------------------------SPOILER-------------------------------------------------
    BTW the 7 twists that happened in the last episode almost in one single scene were ridiculous and annoying. And the cliche reveal that our hero is very similiar to the villain he is fighting buthe doesnt want to be like him is sooo well cliche and boring *rme*

    OST: Ending

    Final Thoughts:
    Yeah this drama took me half a year to finish. For two reasons. First one was the fact that I was reeeally hard to get into this drama. At the beginning episodes the plot was hella confusing at time and boring overall. I also disliked Lan Zhans character (the stone man). But once I passed episode 16... the second reason to being so slow in finishing it comes in. I reeally didnt WANT to shinish it and seperate from the characters and their tragic stories! TT_TT
    This drama messed with my heart so much.
    If there wouldnt be the troubles with first episodes and some unexplained/showed plot pointsI would give it a 10 for sure!
    I'll likely give it a 10 when I rewatch it.
    The characters especially Lan Zhan and Wu Xian grew on my like a family, I will never forget them and love them forever.

    Watch History: March 27 to April 26 (airing) I  Platform: Youtube
    OST: Opening (like the girls voice, hate the dudes 'rap')   Song by Saintsup (relaxing)   How Many Reasons To Love You? (basically Son/Saifah theme)  Truth or Dare? (this song I dont remember every playing bc 'Is This Love' have been overused and took its playing time -_-)

    Finaly Thoughts:
    I have to be  brutally honest here.  This drama was shit. It was messy from the first to the last episode. Many characters were flat  and inconstant af. Its just very bad writing.
    I must applaud to our main leads though, they did a good job in the love scenes. Very steamy and without it looking forced. But again, the lack of plot with all those  hot love scenes made me feel like..well...I'm watching some kind of soft porn. (*I'm looking at you Fighter & Tutor*)
    On the other hand, thank god, we had at least a little buffer with the sweet Son & Saifah couple, even though again, they didnt have a lot of an interesting story going on and were cut short bc of corona virus. TT_TT  I would love to see a full spinn off drama with only Son and Saifah as main couple while actually excuting the 'Are we trapped in a BL novel?!' plot properly.

    Its is listed as 'best rated Thai drama 2019' on MDL so I kinda wanted to see for myself, but I'm also all in for supernatural  romance.

    Final Thoughts:
    This was a really cute drama with a supernatural touch. I liked the mystery of Mes' death and how Thun investigated it and how the truth came to light. Overall quite enjoyable. Thun was an adorable ´, nice boy, withot being too perfect, he did have some flaws (e.g acting a little selfish sometimes) and it felt natural.
    -------------------------------------------SPOILER----------------------------------------------------------------
    I must confess I almost cried at Mes 'goodbye' ceremony and eventhough it was unrealistic and wrong to finish the drama with Mes and Thun continuing 'dating', I was kinda happy to see that still XD

    OMG I need to prepare my heart. This gonna be so sad and frustrating, I know it! Prabably will watch it with Cinnemen (friend).But I need to get out of the fluff, cute BL romance mood and into, series, crime, social issues mood first ^^;

    Finaly Thoughts:
    This drama was deceiving, first I went in with the expectations of cyber mobbing but then the start of the drama was so wholesome and I thought it wont get too excessive since the cyber mobbing was really not that bad but then the horrible thing happened and it was filmed in such a scary unsettling way that I need time to recover from the turn of events in this. I eventually finished it and I must say it was a well done drama eventhough not very bright. The ending also left me brooding and wondering and curious.

    OST: Love Again - Ji Peong Kwon

    Expectation:
    Not really expecting anything but I havent seen a drama with a 'hologram' as character. New age is coming! But should I put it in to the 'supernatural character' list or the 'sci-fi' list? XD

    Final Thoughts:
    Watched this with my friend Zehra. This drama is fully packed with trope and cliche plots that was extremely predictable but still, it was enjoyable. I think the nice and smart 'Holo' gave a good contrast to the tsundere (and arrogant genius) male lead.
    But I must say I made alot of fun of the sci-fi element. Holo didnt feel like a programm but just like spirit of a human instead. When he said he is worried for female lead, when he said he is happy with her or had a dream or his heart is aching... no character explained how this can be possible in a scientific, programming way. They just took it as it is. Also no one thought it is weird of female lead to love a hologramm and be official dating him...
    With time though I started to like her realationship to Holo and Nan-Do and I ebjoyed their friendship.

    I liked very much how fast paced it was without really being rushed (maybe just some scenes felt a little short but nothing that bothers me) I loved every aspect of Sarawat and Tine (yes even the stupidness and insecurities of Tine, he was just cute) I love that this drama gave us a surprise from now and then.
    -----------SPOILER---
    For example from the first scene where Tine runs to Sarawat and talks how he found the one. But then later we find out he wasn’t talking about love but about a job he needed Sarawat for XD and when we slowly found out that Sarawat actually fell in love with Tine a year ago on the concert and how he desperately searched for him and later we see in a flashback how he actually reacted to Tine when he approached him (I was surprised he was actually so nervous being with Tine)  and the relationship between Green and Dim was such a plot twist XD .
    -----------------------
    I love all the side couples 2 (esp Type and Man)
    1 thing I was a little bit disappointed is the OST, wasn’t as awesome as I expected it to be (but Sarawats Love song was so sweet still )

    Well this was a real disappointment. I mean, the actors werent bad, but their roles were sooo sooo boring. The psychology and mental illness aspect of the drama was interesting but not really well explored and the romance between the male and female lead wasn‘t healing at all. It felt toxic bc both sufferent from mental illness that only felt like its getting worse when theyre together. I really felt to me that both get more and more dillusional rather then healthy being in their relationship...   Waste of time tbh.

    Final Thoughts:
    I'm really laughing when I remember my expectations. It was actually absolutely the apposite. Well beside the good chemistry, the characters were average, the production qulity was bad and there was no really bittersweet moments. So why did still finish all the 55 episodes? Besides for the sake of finishing another drama, for Bai Lu and Xu Kai and Zhao Yao and Mo Qing. haha I actually felt their chemistry and wanted to see a happy end for them.

    This was a nice invetigatove drama with numorous criminal cases that  were actually better written than I expected. I liked how the friendship between the three male leads  build up and  how more and more characters came into play and eventually became a family.
    I liked every character (except the main villian) and wished them well and I'm happy about the ending. Eventhough Tang Fan was often very annoying and Darren Wang still hasnt improved that much in acting (Ding Rongs actor was weird too), I enjoyed the drama and became somewhat invested with the plot. There was good frienship but none of real bromance XD

    I‘m surprised that I actually kind of liked the female lead and found female and male lead childish interactions cute. I think it’s because she actually sometimes helped with the cases, she was a good information source.

    I know many like this drama because of its fast pace, the go through 1 case each episode but to me it was disappointing since I wanted sometimes a more intense and realistic investigation. 
    The costumes and settings were so damn cool tho.  I really enjoyed the look of the drama but also the characters.AvenueX rec

    OST: Opening I Ending 
    Final Thoughts:
    So I wasnt planning to watch this at all because I did see the trailer multiple times and each time I was turned off by the plot.  The fact that one character acts like an asshole and king of college fresh men taking the right to scream at them and order them around, basically bullying and justifying it with his seniority and as 'aducational methods'. But a lot of people love this series and were telling me to watch it so I grabbed my friend to accompany me on this journey and started watching it with her. I just couldn't get into the romance nor did I care for any side characters and their super short side stories. Kongpop was a  really nice guy, just like a prince from a fairy tale, always caring about evryone around him, helping and stand up for them... he felt just too fake of a human to me. He doesnt have a single flow. On the other hand Arthit was a real childish jerk at the beginning.  Yeah sure he did change the more time he spend with Kongpop and this development, I really liked and actually us discovering that he was a kind of softy all along but acted fierce. But this one made me again annoyed because it felt unnecessary of him to act like an asshole in the first place. Sure thats what this hazer programm demand, but I deeply despise this programm. Also althrough this drama isnt short they failed to show a realistic romance growth. I still don't understand how Kongpop fell so deep in love for Arthit. They left a lot to the imagination and I don't like it.  watch with Bateuman

    Expectations:
    I think this season will be a lot better since the setting changes to office and the characters are older and probably more mature.

    Final Thoughts:
    I enjoyed this season indeed alot more. It was a huge plus point that all that hazer plot was almost non existent and when they did show Singto being the hazer, he was a nice one, not like Arthit before (-_-). I liked how they made Arthit grow from a shy and scared new comer in his department to a full team member. But  seriously poor Kongpop, he was treaed so unfairly bc of Arthits fear of what the coworkers would think of them TT_TT
    Well overall I liked that this seasons probles that the main leads had to overcome were more mature.

    I seriously didn't expect Krist to be so so talkative and funny. I loved every second of it. even the childinsh dirty jokes XD  The show was also very well edited and dind't leave any boring fillers. It was a comedy traveling show and they only put funny scenes in there. Well at the end there  were slightly more serious inteviews with Krist and Singto summing up the episode and talking about their feeling but even this was still interesting. How do they do this? They talk in such interesting way.
    For me this show also felt very much like they focused more on the mere  friendship between the actors than their shipping :D And I liked it as well. Verll done.

    The storyline wasnt anything special, your typical rich guy poor girl  girl love story. But for what it was, a korean BL series, it was nice. I felt the chemistry and the cuteness from the leads. I'm glad it wasnt tragic and had a happy ending.

I mean sure the male lead did a decent job with the chemistry but I don't really liked their love story as well as their characters. They were just so so. If not the shocking story of Farm and the two girls I would have dropped the drama bc of boredom.

    I started this on a while, it was actually on my 'Maybe Watching' list for a while, but since I had really no idea what I wanna watch and I thought why not see a populiar drama among cdrama fans with a cute male lead and a pretty setting. And I also have a weak point for crossdressing girls :D I went in with no expectation at all, I just hoped its not too ridiculous and boring. And it really wasn't! I like the acting, I liked the friendship dynamic and the militery school and the things they experinced there. There was actually a lot of action and comedy and also some sad parts and some boring ones (like the love story of the bar owner and the teacher).
    But overall I really enjoyed binging it. Oh and there were many times room for annoying misunderstandings but they never came true wich suprised me. The communication between the characters were rather good :D

    Expectation:
    Wu Jia Yi and Xu Kai definetly have a good chemistry as I've seen in Arsenal Millitery Academy, for me its like an alternative universe (and setting) where Qu Man Ting gets her  guy XD
    The drama also looks like an intertaining xianxia comedy. I like them. Xu Kai is perfect for comedy scenes anyway XD

    Final thoughts: The conclusion didn't feel rushed, I'm surprised they managed to do that considering the slow build up of the central plot and all the revelations behind the characters. It felt a little short but it wasnt bad edited, when I remeber Legend Of Fu Yao... *rme*
    The chemistry was there but I must say I didn't like the female leads emotionless demeanor. I liked her decitions, but not her acting. I'm sure its not the fault of the actress (since I know her from AMA) but the directing. Not to my liking.

    From reading the synopsis I wasn't very interested in this drama, I wasn't one of the many people that waiting for Kim Soo Hyuns new drama either. The only reason I started it was because of nothing to do and because I knew the production quality would be great. At the end I'm glad I did watch this hyped drama, because it was actually not bad as many hyped kdramas tend to be. I loved the family and friendship aspect the most, the psychological aspect wasn't very seriously discussed here and the romance was also slightly childish. But the greatest weak point in this drama was the mystery and crime aspect -_- really unnecessary, the couple had enough mental and social problems to deal with, a killer plot was obviously just for 'fun' aspect. Typical romance kdrama.

    Especially the emotional depiction of character relationships and pursuing the gaming career was a ride I was enjoying.

    This was actually better than expected.  Some of the hell and heaven world build I liked but some I still was cringing over as always when kdrama tries go fantasy XD but it was overall an easy watched, maybe because there wasnt too much romance involved and it also was slightly episodic with main cast solving worries of random people while actually reflecting about their own life and decisions (it wasnt too philosophical tho, more entertaining). I also liked the family dinamic between the stall owners and the part-timer.

    Final Thoughts:
    Im gonna write just the things I didn’t like in the drama since it was so popular and I had my expectations not fulfilled.
    ----------------------------------------------------SPOILER-------------------------------------------------------
    Finding yourself and experience  the world is great but Woo Joo could’ve just wait a few months and finish high school god damn it! Or taken a break like his father suggested, I absolutely cant see the necessity for the story to make him drop out of high school.
    My friend said the characters stayed in her memory for a long time because it was a special/interesting drama, I was expecting the same effect on me but... the most interesting/exiting character to me was Hye Na and her arc, but it came too late into the drama and was too short.
    Woo Joo... why was he so flat and boring? He didn’t even feel like a real teenager. And his mom was Maria Magdalena type of character that I hate. Always finding excuses for everyone and quickly forgiving -_-
    Seeing how Ye Seos mom „saved“ Woo Joo wasn’t that great of a feeling because she missed the train. She should’ve done it way sooner. I personally haven’t forgiven her yet and seeing her happily enjoying tea with everyone was awkward to me.
    Also the drama has a unique cinematography wich is nice to have but it was not my cup of tea. I hate shaky camera and I didn’t like the zooms on the eyes that lasted too long.
    So this Drama gave me just too much stress without satisfying me at the end (or anywhere in between)

    Final Thoughts:
    At first it was hard to get into the confusing and very fast pacing story. And I also wasnt very attracted to the characters, especially the male lead. at the end it felt sweet and sad at times, but I didnt fell in love with the male lead till the end. I think I dont like the acting. The second male lead was so annoying and moreover useless, it was annoying. But I liked the story progression overall, always thinking about how this is just cliche script written by the female lead :D
    ---SPOILER-----
    I understand that fans always want to see more of thei beloved characters story and therefore due to populiar demand they gonna make a second season, but it is very obvious that the story ended here, with a happy ending. I am very satisfied with the ending and I feel like a second season isn't necessary. But if the lead cast remains the same I will watch,
    Probably (hopefully) it will be set in the modern time.

    This was really good at first, touching  family story line and very cute kids relationship.
    I was ok with one of the ‚brothers‘ falling for the girl he spend his childhood with since they didkind of show from the very beginning that he is interested romantically in her While the ither really was just like a brother. But I was disppointed that later on in the drama they focused more on the romance and the life of the youngsters. The friends of Fl and ML got more screen time than the dads! -_- And also I didnt like how they redeemed the crazy mother. She made his son and everyone arounf him go through hell for 20+ years and I‘m sure shell still meddle in his life even when she became ‚good‘. She was really annoying. FL was cute tho, from start to end i liked her And the thwo brothers too but Song Wei Long did a bad job in acting out his character tbh. He is not yet ready for this kind of complicated/hard role.

    well huh... teacher-student romance was uncompfortable especially at the beginning, he courted her way to hard without any thoughts about decentcy. Well at least after her uncle spoke up about the relationship, he did stay away from her wich was a relieve. But this movie was very light hearted and didnt focus on the student-teacher romance very much therefore I enjoyed the female leads journey. She was cute as well as Mamoru and I wanted to see them end up together. That said the movie still did a good job to make me wonder with whom she'll actually end up and I liked this suspense :) Overall a cute and nice directed coming out of age movie.
    I also loved the friendship between the girls

    This movie is so fucking mediocre and predictable and just ridiculous . From the the plot, the characters, the setting that gets completely irrelevant to the very “I’m a hero now and gonna get my revenge” ending.
    I wouldn’t be so upset if the cast weren’t actors liked. I expected something way different from them.
    The music was good. That’s all.
    I’d probably enjoy it a little more if I’d never seen an action/thriller movie in my life before.

I mean, the writers already established the plot point that becoming a zombie isn’t something like a human getting infected with a zombie virus. They certainly showed us that a human has to die first and then some green liquid can still make them walk and talk but hey dir already die and get a fatal damage to the body., the body rotted. How is someone going to undue this? So this scientist can grow a functional human body? -_-

    I started this drama just because of its popularity. i wasn't expecting anything and in general it was a good experience especially the first third. Later i still enjoyed the story and wanted to see how everything gets resolved and whats the story of the Star of Mosha but the love story of Xuan Ji and Si Feng was too draggy and overly dramatic that it became ennoying. The acting was unsatisfying too and every crying scene felt too fake. and there were too much of them too!
    I love most of the side characters, I want to see a Wu Zhi Qi and Purple Fox spinn off! that was a love story I enjoyed more at the end.

    At first it was really hard to watch, the story and the characters actions didn't make sense and the comedy was so bad > < I don't know why but with time I got used to it and the story got at least a little bit better. I was surprised actually, that it wasn't mostly about the romance between 'the master' and his 'maid' but rather said 'maids' slice of life in a rich people high school and society. I liked the friendships she made and the goals she set herself and her perseverence in achieving them (e.g tutoring her whole class to be the best in math competition)
    Still there were many problematic things that were laughed off or seen a natural. But hey, I'll just look at it as an alternate universe where certain things are normal to these people, that aren't normal to us XD
    No one can or should take this drama seriously.
    The production quality was lowest I've seen in 2 years XD
