Wild and passionate


As a fan of Han Ji Hyun's character in this drama, I must say I was thrilled to see her return—even if it was within the world of her own smut novel.

These two short episodes offer a wild, fast-paced ride that cleverly connects the story of this spin-off to the main drama without altering its core plot. Instead, it simply enhances your enjoyment, providing additional layers to the narrative.

Plot: The female lead, a novelist, falls unconscious and, in her dream, finds herself trapped inside the world of her novel, living out the very scenarios she had written for her protagonist.

chemistry is there, but story aint mine type

__*You Are Desire (2023)*__ - 8/10 - cdrama

I really liked acting and chemistry of main actors, BUT didnt liked angsty feel and backstory of whole drama.

Alot reviews I read said second half of drama is big downgrade, but I dont think so story just becomes more unfocused and splits into lesser storylines.

Not even sure why since alot dramas got alike angsty backstory in way... you always have some unreasonable villain etc. It just often felt like main pair was closed on small ship in middle of storm?

Surelly its worth watching, but not for everybody.

__*plot*__ - FL gets tossed away by her mother to her father family. FL finds guy she is interested in neighbourhood[ML]. She becomes his desk mate in new school and gets close to him. Story goes around their relationship and FLs family problems + ML family problems.

nice age gap historical romance

The Legend of Zhuohua (2023) -8,5/10 -cdrama

adorable historical cdrama, romance line is too cute even though it got age gap. At other hand story progress quite slowly.

Wanted give this drama rating 9, since I like romantic storyline here quite lot. But this drama is lacking certain something which would drive me to binge it in one sitting. It may be caused by length of drama or quite usual plot of trying usurp throne. Though enemy was unusual.

Whole drama got feminism message, still its not forcefully enforced.[what I want say... you will notice it but it doesnt hurt plot nor your eyes,brain much]

plot - FL runs from planned marriage to take on test to become court official. She will have go through alot problems since she is woman which tries to obtain rights usually meant just for men. At the way she meets ML who is accomplished high level noble and their fates connect. They will help each other to obtain their goals + their love.

genre - historical, romance

Very good XianXia romance comedy[at least for most of drama]

quite emotional piece. Almost whole time this drama focuses on comedy based on relations between characters. Its funny and sometimes cute by the end it can make you cry too. Maybe cause for whole time characters made lightened your mood and made you smile it will chock you more if something tragic happen.

plot - exist 4 realms human, immortals, demons, beastmen. 2 princesses from human realm was betrothed for peace treaty - one to immortals[2FL gentle,kind older princess], one to demons[1FL smart, cunning,rebellious younger sister].

Thanks coincidence two sisters will exchange places and ends up with different husbands than they was engaged to.

Full of emotion story worth watching

Base of story-
story trully aint very important its something which could very well happen in real life if little toned down.
Young girl with financial problems and many works X Older married man working at firm as engineer.
They meet at worst time of their lives and helps yeach other maybe cause of their pitty of each other.
This drama surelly got romance, BUT its realistic romance.

From young woman its romance of young peoples fast, straightforward, intense. Based on nothing but feelings.

From older guy its damn old love. - Care and support. Old love which focuses on nurturing and caring for one another.

Dont wanna spoiler. But its not drama for everybody. Actors did great job in passing emotions. Whoever writed its story did great job too.

drama gets better as story progresses. Got dark vibe.

Story of Kunning Palace - 9/10 -historical cdrama

after quite long time watched historical cdrama. Sadly this drama is just type I hate ful of intrigue alike to korean historical dramas.
Firstly I didnt really like this drama it was dark and even though first eisode made me remember :The Romance of Tiger and Rose: the vibe couldnt be more far away.
Vibe is very alike to :My Journey to You:, but that drama managed to catch mine interest from get go, guess mainly cause Esther Yu and Lu Yu Xiao where both of them are mine favs and their roles was very different from usual ones they plan and they managed to slay it.
Bai Lu and other characters in Kunning palace ... lets say it wanted at least 10 eps from me to grow fond of them to continue watch.

ok shortly first 10 eps I planned to rate 8/10. Till 30ep I planned 8.5/10. And last 8eps + special managed to perusade me for 9/10. Must say I practically binge watched it in one day.

Ok review was too long. For plot and genre just check out MDL.

slow start, solid drama you wont regret watching.

Parallel World (2023 -9/10 -cdrama

ok this drama is different beast. Its not perfect, but still its story and characters makes up for it enough for me to again sacrifice mine sleep to binge it.

Drama got quite slow start. Like you know right from drama name and openings that this story will be about parallel world and magic beasts., but still it takes about whole 10 eps for leads to finally get there. These fist 10 eps are mainly about introducing main leads and their characters, which I think could be done in just 3 eps quite easily. At least these first eps got some basic romance development which made whole romance storyline stand at quite strong base.

Once we get past slow start. We discover whole interesting magic world full of magic beasts. In way I found this drama quite alike to Alchemy of Soul though its more into modern time.

Even though I am not big fan of mystery theme I loved this drama + found alot of mine favourites actors in supporting roles. Time to add few actors I didnt knew of into mine actors I want watch list.

plot - FL wakes up hanging by rope on tree with big memory loss and just few leads about herself in her bag. In search for her identity she gets to ML who was once very well known desert guide,. Sadly for ML 2 years ago he lost 18 peoples in desert together with his fiance, bodies was never found. FL comes to him with photo of his fiance and wants him to guide her into desert in search for her memories and for him its search for bodies.

genre - mystery, romance, thriller, fantasy

Slice of life historical romance story BTW I RECOMMEND TO PREPARE TISSUES

One and Only[2021] -9/10 cdrama
only reason why I dont give it 9,5 is cause I am too fainthearted to ever re-watch it. Moreover it got sequel story to it I didnt see yet.

for historical cdrama its quite short about average kdrama watchtime.

Whole drama is sad love story of couple protagonists being forced to separate for multiple reasons.
It got few action scenes but it mostly focuses on court intrigues and main leads romance storyline which gets here alot attention thanks which you will grew fond of main leads and even though you know from start that their love is something impossible you just kinda hope for happy end.

Well if I had to compare it to something cdrama The King's Woman got quite alike vibe, but One and Only is at least grade better.

plot - ML is new emperors uncle protecting borders and leading strongest army of empire, but thanks it he is ostracized by ministers etc. When new emperor taked up throne ML made vow to never marry and stay without child to prove he isnt rebellious. In meanwhile he was forced to take on female disciple[FL] which is noble lady from esteemed family and is engaged to crown prince. FL stays with ML as master and disciple in his realm at borders of empire, but their age aint very apart and both grow fond of each other.

genre - romance, tragedy, historical

low budget minidrama with unknown actors

If you looking for romance minidrama this one can do but aint hard to find better one. Still its not worst I seen.

short mini drama with unknown actors. Looks like school project maybe. Or some fan fiction drama.
story aint bad but execution is below average. Shortness of drama gives it bonus marks at least.

plot - FL is theater owner which scams mans for money and lives with alot of debs. ML is rich man looking for woman which once saved his life when he was kid. ML thinks FL is that woman and gets entangled with her.

genre - romance

Looking for strong and well writen, played female roles? Pick this one!!!

classic Bossy CEO X Ordinary counterpart plot story.

This piece is good in 3 things it do.
1. Bossy CEO here is female very cool and badass one probably main perk of this drama
2. story aint as dumb as usual cdramas have. Its quite believable
3. vibe of story is nice and side characters ... mainly female ones are well written. Their interesting character points are often their weakness.

plot - female CEO wants push through stockholder board with little dangerous project. But to get it through she needs get married. She finds nice looking surgeon with mild temperament and push him through contract marriage.

genre - romance

PERSONALY AT START I LOVED DADS FROM MALE AND FEMALE LEAD - total simps in this one

to say it nicely - this drama got very un-logical cliché story... still thanks actors I enjoyed it and was able forgive them alot its why I rank it high.

But I dont expect much logic from chinese most novels I ever read from them are same.
This drama is quite long 30eps/45min at other hand it got almost every type of romance genre you can think of.

Whole drama got at least about 4 pairs of loverbirds

plot - FL falls in love and becomes programmer cause of ML. She wants get hired in ML company, but company doesnt hire female programmers. She disguises for guy to get hired and its where all starts.

Drama is long with situation always changing dont want spoiler much
genre: romance, office romance, gender bender, triangle, cohabitation, pregnancy, marriage

Slowpaced pure romance story of two pairs of loverbirds

plot - this drama got two main pairs of loverbirds.

Main lead is athlete doing 100m sprint. Main female lead is professional translator and subtitles maker for movies.

Secondary female is CEO and Secondary male painter.

story goes around their lives from how they met to how they grow font to each other up to their problems with family, work, friends... literally story is about life of these two pairs.

Chemistry between actors is quite nice one and was one of main things which keep me watch.
Slow pace of progress in their romance was filled by unexpected situations and deepening relationship between main roles and support ones.

I dont give 9/10 often this drama is sure above average 8,5 would be more objective, BUT I gived it half star more for personal like.

melodramatic view into mind of adult working population

My Liberation Notes - 8.5/10 [above average] - kdrama

I had been postponing watching this drama for a long time, mainly because the description on MDL didn't seem interesting to me.

Now I can finally share my opinion on this drama.

This drama follows the life of a family living on a farm outside Seoul. It explores their problems with work, friendships, human relationships, and their struggles to reconcile their great ambitions and youthful expectations with the mundane realities of daily life.

The whole drama serves as a mirror into the minds of people tired of troubles of daily life.

This drama is often compared to the kdrama My Mister, though I personally think it's a grade lower. Nevertheless, it's still a nice drama to watch.

Plot - The story follows three siblings as the main leads:

One brother who is angry at his poor life situation and aspires to be rich.
An older sister who wants to find a husband before she hits menopause.
A younger sister who is very introverted and feels suppressed at work. She meets a mysterious man who interests her.

recommend this one steamy romance, unusually quite mature cdrama

was long time I seen drama which could arouse mine emotions as much as this one. I would give it even 9,5 if it wasnt melodrama. I dont think I will rewatch this one often since aint masochist.

This drama got young Female lead pursuing older male lead. She is pursuing her first love feverishly and straightforwardly as if there is not going be tomorrow. And maybe there aint one.

Whole drama got alot of artistry and flowers in it

plot - FL is rich young woman 20y which was long time sick and now once she recovered she is being kept captive in house by her mother which for fear of health her daughter locked her in golden cage.
FL manages to flee cage time from time to explore world... and once she visits hair salon to wash her hairs. She fell in love with older man which was her hairstylist [ML]... her next exploring got new target.
TO Find him.

bite-sized snack

Not much of of actions or events in this drama. Story is basic and they got no time to act out some bigger romance.
Acting was quite average when you compare it to other lesbian thai shows.

plot - Female lead cohabitates house with her female friend. One day younger sister of the friend arrives to live together with them. Younger sister got crush on Female lead and tries to pursue her.

Overall - average, but quick to watch with few nice scenes.
