A very beautifully depicted BL drama

I'm kinda new to the BL dramaland but i dare say this drama exceeded my expectations.

The plot and writing are good. no loose ends or loopholes, no extra dramas, and most importantly no love triangles and cringe-worthy scenes.

The leads have an awesome chemistry and the NC scenes are decent lol

It has a very beautiful background music and the quality of production is desirable.

Overall, another wonderful BL for BL lovers :)

This drama is made to give you butterflies! The romance is just beautiful...

Two calm and young humans fall in love amidst a snowstorm in a snowy country! This sentence sums the whole drama up.

From the beginning, we get to see lovers who fall in love in a pure way, just like snow. It's just serene and sweet, and nothing more.

There are obstacles. There are past issues. There are some grains of mystery involved, but their romance development is on-point and flowing like the wind.

The scenery is marvelous! we get to see European cities covered in snow, trees, and cute cafes. It's one of those Aesthetic dramas that satisfy your craving for beauty.

The OSTs and main songs are sooo beautiful. The lyrics match the whole story and it's mesmerizing.

Also, there is no love triangle or exes from the past.
The leads have the healthiest relationship ever and their communication is so sweet.

Also, it's notable to mention that this drama has the most beautiful romantic scenes. The leads get to kiss and hold hands whenever they are given the chance! it's just pure ROMANCE.

Overall, a very sweet and romantic modern Cdrama. It's a must-watch imo :)

Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions!

It's the typical time-travel vs revenge plot, but with so many twists!


Marry my husband! it takes us on a captivating journey of fantasy, romance, and time travel. This enchanting series flawlessly blends a mesmerizing storyline with genuinely incredible chemistry between the leads.

The drama centers around two people who, through a twist of fate, find themselves transported ten years back in time. As they navigate this new reality, their paths cross, but guess what? One has a revenge to take and the other one has a first love that wants to pursue.

The first leads have awesome chemistry. You will literally be mesmerized by the palpable chemistry between them. The second leads, oh well! you will hate them greatly. They are the devil himself lol


Also, the visually stunning cinematography, complemented by well-chosen sceneries, elevates the mood. The aesthetics are magnificent.

overall, if you're in for a romantic fantasy drama with a great plot and chemistry, don't miss it:)

Star-crossed lovers with a bad writing :)))

This drama started quite ok. A fantasy-themed drama about reincarnated lovers who didn't recognize each other at first, but there was a catch. One of them was a cupid and they were ill-fated, as they had no red thread of fate connecting them.

The leads had a cute relationship BUT this drama has very faulty writing. the authors need to practice before making a drama. the story was all over the place and the criminal had a way of dealing with everything quite easily. The character development was also pointless for some characters.

ALso, 16 episodes made this drama draggy and filler. i personally watched it for the lead's love and chemistry. They were so good together.

The OST used is very beautiful. also, the scenery and locations shown are very enchanting.

Overall, a very average romantic drama.

Modernized Makjang

If you're familiar with the Kdrama troupe, Makjangs are simple, overboard types of dramas that last for months. More like Traditional Korean dramas. This one is the exact same thing but with a shorter number of episodes.

Story:

Minimal romance-based drama with lots of family plots! and a taste of Fantasy. that's it :) More like cat and mouse fights. Attacks and counterattacks, with some loose ends. but in this one, the villains got what they deserved and the underprivileged ones found peace. The leads had good chemistry and their relationship development was nice. but their on-screen time together was very minimal. Not so much skinship or kiss scenes. that's the only downside IMHO.

Acting:

All the cast were new to me except for SH. He has improved a lot since his previous roles. The villains acted quite proficiently and i think they wrapped everything up correctly.

OST:
A bit nonexistent. no comment here.

production:

This is not a high budget drama. you don't see glorious work settings or houses. The drama's shots are limited to two houses and a company. The visuals are average. as expected in Makjangs.

Overall, a decent revenge drama with a little romance in it.

Simply beautiful

This movie is not that complicated. It's a simple first-love movie, that started way back in high school. but star-crossed lovers were separated due to what we call "fate". However, life had other plans. They reunite amidst a very chaotic adulthood, yet love doesn't die that easily.

It's simple. It's picturesque and the leads have a beautiful chemistry. you can feel their love for each other.
The story is not that heart-wrenching and the flow is smooth.

Definitely a must-watch for romance lovers.

Beautiful drama, but badly produced!

Let me start reviewing this drama by saying how this drama could have been much more popular and highly rated if the authors and producers had done a better job. That's it.

The story is rather the same drama fantasy cliche, extraordinary gifts, a murder plot, and a steamy office romance, mixed with childhood lovers. It had so much potential, the story is actually entertaining and the leads have a marvelous chemistry, so what went wrong?

The drama's story was all over the place. There is no development. There is no background history and suddenly the leads start liking each other. There is no connection between the characters in the drama and simply they exist because they had to. This lack of coherence is what made the drama poorly executed and less intriguing to the audience.

The leads have one of the most beautiful chemistries and there are many Romantic/steamy scenes but without any development. They could've used the fantasy element as the focus of the show and let the leads roll around by it. The second leads and other supporting cast simply show up and are done!

It doesn't seem like a low-budget drama but again, weak execution makes everything bland.

Overall, if you love romance and can simply watch a drama for its romance, then you will enjoy this drama! just don't get too deep into the story and let it roll :)

This is how the real world works plus a few fate tricks

It's not everyone's cup of tea for sure, since the lead couple are not ordinary and certainly not young, but they are among the most realistic couples i have seen in Kdramas.

Story:

Star math teacher. Heartthrob, rich, whatever you name it, he has it. There are dark secrets lurking around. there is also tragedy but filled with many good moments. On the other hand, we have a very troubled family with a secret of their own. not to mention the hardships and happiness shown are meant to depict a more realistic feature of life. Students' pressure in life. A world where justice has no say in it and the hierarchy of relationships. This is how real world is.
Not many loopholes and certainly everything wraps up perfectly. The story at its core is flawless, except for a few short mishaps.

Acting:

First time seeing the leads. They are mature in both acting and delivering a decent character. The chemistry is off the charts. silly at times, but beautiful. Wish they had more interactions as a couple, but this drama is more heavily focused on the story revolving around students.

production:

top-notch. The locations used for shooting and even the items of clothing worn by the cast is chosen with dedication and care. It's not just some low-budget drama. everything is on point.

soundtrack:

Beautiful songs are used throughout the drama. totally matched the mood.

Overall, if you like the Genre of teaching, students, family, and a mature romance, this is for you!

A beautifully-depicted drama

First of all, i should say that i haven't watched the Taiwanese version and don't have the intention to do so. Even though i love Cdramas very much, i don't think juggling between the two versions and comparing them is ok. I loved how this version depicted a time travel story.

Story:

Time travel at the core with a very heart-warming romance. It can get a bit complicated, especially for binge-watchers, but if you pay attention to the years mentioned in each episode, you will get how the relationships are. I personally didn't find it confusing and we got to figure out who the main protagonists were and who were their counterparts.

Acting:

AHS, He is such a fine actor. have seen him in the past few dramas and i dare say he is getting better and better.
JYB, First time seeing her. She is very talented and presents a very true and believable character. The rest of the cast was also proper too. There are no voids here overall.

Writing:

The story is indeed complicated, but the writers didn't make it extra complicated. You have to pay attention to names and dates shown and there wouldn't be issues.

OST:

beautiful choice of songs. Each song matches the mood and scenery shown in each episode.

Overall, a very beautiful and romantic fantasy drama. Def a muct-watch!

If you're craving for a mature romance, this is for you!

This drama is not your typical Cdrama, with glittery and bubbly characters. The story is intense, the characters are mature, and the real-life events are so relatable.

Story:

I was kinda surprised to see a cdrama with a strong story. Most dramas focus on the relationship aspects and the career aspects of the dramas don't make much sense overall. I should add, that 50% of this drama is career-related but the rest is very much about the relationship between the leads. There are complications(not so many) , but there are no loopholes and the story goes on smoothly. Just like how it is in real life!

Cast:

First time seeing Elvis and Elvira. What a match! their chemistry is so natural and beautiful, that you can feel their interactions, insecurities, and how they fall in love. Their romance is not fiery or fluffy, it's just mature and how it should be for career-oriented individuals. Despite all this, we get to see a very romantic and passionate relationship. Their kiss scenes are just marvelous, Their gazes at each other are on another level.

Writing:

It's almost flawless IMO, yet there are side characters that are too many and there are so many stories going on with them that take a lot of screen time. There are no ambiguity about the leads and their character development. overall, a very decent production.

OST:

I must say i loved the ost. Matched every scene. The lyrics are in rhyme with the story and i can say it's one of the best i have heard in cdramas.

If you are in the mood for something romantic, yet a mature one with great chemistry and career-related subjects, this is for you!

THE CHEMISTRY in a short drama!

"Forever Love," a Chinese drama, showcases a sizzling chemistry between its leads with its realistic passionate kiss scenes.

The drama is short, with a revenge and death plot depicted, yet the story development is weak. Just watch it without having any expectations lol

The chemistry is everything. The leads are like magnets. Their kiss scenes are deep as if these two are made for each other.
Similar to other short dramas, the drama is not of a high quality, yet this drama is exactly the type to unwind with and pass your time, especially if you crave for romance :)

Below average

This drama it's the typical childhood Noona romance type of drama. But man, the script was badly written. The ML who was supposed to be the lead acted like a childish puppy and his role was basically nonexistent. He was just there to cook and hug and tell the FL "I love yous".

The FL. she was good but the character development was bad. She was lost and I don't know how she ended up choosing the ML.

The second ML, who was actually the ML IMO, was the only character that had a decent development. He had his own plans, plots, relationships, etc and it kind of worked for him. The drama could have been solely his and not anyone else's.

Basically, a very absurd drama to pass your time. not recommended at all.

A heartwarming drama with a fresh story

"See You in My 19th Life", as the name suggests, we will be immersed in the world of a human being that is being reincarnated over and over, and remembers ALL her past lives.

The drama follows the journey of a young woman who mysteriously remembers all her past lives, and attempts to change the course of events that led to her tragic fate while embracing her past love.

One of the most vital aspects of this drama is its narrative. The reincarnation aspect is handled with care; keeping viewers engaged as they unravel the mysteries surrounding events that shaped her life.

Shin Hye Sun delivers a remarkable performance, effortlessly portraying both the vulnerable and determined sides of her characters. Her chemistry with the rest of the cast, including her love interest Bo Hyun Ahn, adds another layer of emotional depth to the series. The supporting cast also shines, bringing their respective characters to life and enhancing the overall viewing experience, especially the second leads. They were very lovely.

The production value of "See You in My 19th Life" is quite eye-catching, with visually stunning cinematography and colors. The drama effectively utilizes its soundtrack to evoke a range of emotions, enhancing the storytelling and immersing viewers in the world created by the show.

While the drama explores themes of love, revenge, and past lives, it also delves into deeper topics such as the consequences of one's choices and a curse made in between. It beautifully portrays the complexities of human relationships and how deep feelings can go in our lives.

However, this drama does have a few flaws. At times, the pacing feels slightly uneven, particularly during certain episodes. Yet again, the plot got way too complicated at some point, with too many villains and loopholes; making it a bit confusing. The story is very intriguing, however, 12 episodes seemed to be a bit short to fully depict the story, and the ending was rather rushed.

Overall, this drama is a must-watch Korean drama that successfully combines romance and fantasy elements to create a captivating and emotionally resonant viewing experience. With performances, engaging storylines, and beautiful themes, Kdrama fans won't be disappointed.

Cliche rom-com, but the chemistry is Amazing!

This drama is the exact definition of drama Cliche; a cold, handsome, wealthy boss and a poor, beautiful, loving girl. That sums it all. They fall in love despite bickering with each other from the beginning, but their love blossoms into something profound.

The whole drama is set in various hotels and you see cute and breathtaking sceneries. The story is quite simple but there are mishaps along the way for the leads too. Don't expect to see the logic behind anything that happens, as it is the nature of this drama to be funny and romantic. The leads are just made for each other.

overall, a feel-good drama with cute skinship and chemistry between the leads.

A cinderella story full of cliches, but worth watching!

Contract marriage! The troupe Asian dramas love to play with it but it somehow never gets old. This drama is no exception but it was decently depicted. Romance lovers fans won't be disappointed.

Story:
A king enters a contractual relationship with a poor Cinderella. that's the whole concept. But it's not easy. there are villains everywhere who would do anything to separate them. but guess what? Love indeed conquers all.
We get to see a rich kid who happens to be a brat and good-looking, however, he holds a secret cutting him deep within. On the other hand, Cinderella is a beautiful girl with a bad temper who can't keep a job and is in dire need of money. So, they are a match made in heaven; fakely! They go through trials and find love and solace in each other, which is cute.

Acting and Chemistry:
Unlike many Jdramas that i have seen( with robotic acting and zero chemistry) the actor and actress have a good on-screen chemistry. They are funny and kinda, just like the ying yang keyring they carry with them. They portray a believable romantic couple and that's somehow unexpected in Jdramas.

OST: i loved the songs played in this drama. totally matched the mood.

Writing:
well, unlike many other dramas again, the loopholes presented in this drama all got solved in the end. Even the villains were forgiven( a bit odd). the first half was much more intriguing but the second half got draggy at some point. but that's how it is, love conquers ALL!

Overall, a beautiful drama. if you're in the mood for a silly romantic Jdrama with a bit of cringe and complications, make sure you watch this drama!
