9/10 Smiling is good for health A refreshing plot revolving around a couple of men working for a law firm. They have an exceedingly cute rapport and a sense of 'being in their own world'. I happened to recently learn that they are actually seeing each other. "gong shi ni men". If you like watching friends-turning-lovers concepts, then please do watch it at convenience. Not too long, not boring in script, not toxic in portraying a relationship, not a stereotype rich falling for poor, not a blood-puking and tear jerking heavy melo-laced drama. The other couple in the drama seem to be utterly under nourished. Even though they might have tried to act to their capability, I could not sync. I love the comedic bit by 'YuZhen-ShiLei' CP. Thanks and kudos to Chen laoshi.
10/10 Cute & Light hearted series. If you are looking for a lighthearted show then this it. This show has humour that you will never get bored in between the show. All the three couples: two side and one main couples are good looking with good chemistry. Plot is simple, easy and good execution is done here. Show is overall broadminded. You would not find pettiness, cringe and any overlyextra scene here. This show is a feel good show with light hearted comedy. If you want to lighten the mood than this show is good choice for you. Overall points :- * Story 8.5 * Storytelling 8.5 * Casting 9.5 * Humour 9 * Acting & Chemistry 9 * Cinematography 9 * OST 9.5.
Kiss me agian review I liked this story a lot. The character, character development, plot and storyline was good. The acting was great. I love all the relationships in this asian drama. To be honest when I first watched it I was only watching it Becuse there was bl relationship but after I started it. I loved all the relationships so I stuck around and started to what to know what was gonna happen to everyone. It was never boring. Super entertaining and fun watch I recommend for all ages. Honestly, I skipped all the parts and only saw pete/kao story. They are awsome!
10/10 A Really Interesting Thai Drama He's Coming To Me is a really interesting Thai show from GMMTV that turned out to be quite good. The story centers around Thun, played by Pawat Chittsawangdee and Mes, a ghost played by actor Prachaya Ruangroj (Sotus) quest to answer the mystery behind why Mes can't pass on or be reincarnated. Both of the lead actors are quite good and they have an excellent storyline to work with; along with a strong supporting cast of characters who add to the drama and provide comic relief throughout the series. Parts of the show reminded me of the show Dead Like Me; in that a few of the characters are ghosts interacting with one another. This element is then combined with the quest to solve the big mystery; all the while providing the viewers with a range of unique cultural points that provide interesting insight into Thai culture along the way.
10/10 An epic Korean Drama not to be missed! This is an epic drama loosely based on the history of Korea from the perspectives of different but engaging characters. It is set in the time where Joseon (Korea) is fought over between different countries with America and Japan. The main character is played by Byung-Hun Lee, who is a phenomenal Korean actor and opposite of his role is Tae-ri Kim who is a newer actress. Byung-Hun Lee has many years of experience and is a well known Korean actor and he has appeared in numerous American films such as G.l. Joe and R.E.D. Both the actors bring fierce intensity to their roles with their well acted scenes and show such emotion through their lines, looks and even their stares. The supporting cast is also superb as they tell their own stories in this conflicted time. All in all the drama has great production value and truly keeps you mesmerized through it's weekly episodes. If you are a fan of Korean dramas or even if you aren't familiar with them, then this is a great series that you can watch.
10/10 This is an amazing show that it's not being mentioned enough When I first saw the trailers for this show my reaction was, oh no, another story about the struggles of poverty and war, and while there's a lot to that is told in a very interesting way where you can see the details of Korean lower class and it's interaction with the Japanese middle class. I love reading subtitles to have the experience of the original actor/voice/culture so much is lost in dubbed scenes, and in this show they make sure you can understand when someone is speaking Japanese or Korean and why the miscommunication happens on normal circumstances. The show subtitles Japanese in blue and Korean in yellow so it makes an unique experience, besides the dialogues and acting are very good. This show explains to us (mainly westerners) the conflicts and collaborations between the Koreans and Japanese told from the Korean side and how they suffered the Japanese oppression but also how they thrived despite it, lovely show, can't wait for the second season.
9/10 An epic Korean saga that avoids the K-drama pitfalls... Pachinko avoids the cliches of the K-drama, instead settles for an European soap drama style with plenty of depth, chronicling the plight of a Korean family under the Japanese occupation and juxtaposing that with life in 1989, all in brilliant cinematic storytelling. This series does not shy away from the effects of Japan's forced occupation on Korea. It plays out with an emotional impact from the viewpoint of Sunja's life via the unique structure in blending timelines. From Sunja's youth under Japan's stranglehold to that of her grandson in 1989. It depicts the various stages of Japan's influences on Sunja's family life, from war torn times to the might of the financial impact that Japan displayed during the 80's. It is an engrossing drama that reveals the horrors of life under a brutal occupation, and the long term effects it has on generational lives. All through the eyes of a strong protagonist, Sunja, played brilliantly by the various actors.
10/10 Best films It is truly the art of an actor to be able to play the role of twins so well. The story is really good and the actors are good. In my opinion, this series must be the best South Korean series. Its actors have been able to play their roles well. In my opinion, it is one of the best romantic films in the world. The actress in this series is a perfect actress and has managed to make this interesting. I ask all of you viewers to watch this fascinating and spectacular film whenever you have time and enjoy it. I was really delighted with the quality of the filming, the direction and the wonderful makeup of this series, and I hope you enjoy watching it too.
10/10 An Iconic Masterpiece This drama will go down in history as an iconic masterpiece of kdrama cinema. From the opening scene, this drama draws you in and takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Just 4 episodes so far and already it is obvious that this drama is the future benchmark that all Korean dramas will be compared to. The story, the cinematography, the acting, are all of the highest standard. Park Bo-gum takes his latest role to a new level and shows such enormous talent in his portrayal of Gwansik. Women worldwide will lose their hearts and minds for him. IU delivers, showing she can sing and act and do both at the highest possible level. Every cast member in this drama should be proud of their achievement, because every single one has given a realistic and incredibly entertaining view into another historical time. The scene on the pier is sure to go down in cinematic folklore as THE unmatched romantic scene of love winning against all odds. Move over Romeo and Juliet... a new iconic love story is born!
10/10 A Near-Flawless Legal Drama with Heart and Precision From the very first episode of Beyond the Bar, I felt like I was watching something exceptionally crafted-rarely do you find a series where the direction feels this polished. Every scene flows with precision: pacing, transitions, emotional beats-it all just works. The main cast delivers standout performances. Lee Jin-wook's portrayal of the cold, sharp-minded litigation head Yoon Seok-hoon is mesmerizing, layered and restrained just enough to leave you wanting more. Jung Chae-yeon's Kang Hyo-min balances brilliance and vulnerability so well-you root for her with every stumble and court victory. What truly elevates the show, though, is the attention to detail beyond the leads. The background actors-the commuters, law-firm colleagues, courtroom extras-never once felt like extras. Their timing is immaculate, their presence feels lived-in. The world feels fully inhabited. And the storytelling! Each case delivers moral ambiguity, sharp legal maneuvering, and emotional resonance that underlines the characters' growth. It's procedural without feeling stale-there's a slow-burn authenticity and humanity to it. In just four episodes, Beyond the Bar achieves a rare balance: emotional weight, technical finesse, compelling actors, and a believable world built down to the smallest moments. This is one of the most confident and well-executed series I've seen in a long time.
10/10 Dear X doesn't just tell a story, it leaves a scar Dear X honestly left me speechless. It's not just a drama, it's an emotional storm that hits you when you least expect it. Baek Ah-jin isn't just a villain, she's a mirror of everything we hide behind a smile. Her story is messy, painful and so real that you can't help but feel for her. Every episode makes you question what's right, who's telling the truth and how far people will go just to be loved or seen. The writing is sharp, the emotions stay with you and the performances are unforgettable. It's dark, beautiful and painfully human, the kind of show that doesn't leave your mind even after it ends.
10/10 PARK SHIN HYE IS SOMETHING ELSE I have loved Park Shin Hye since The Heirs with all the star-studded casts. The show is something I didn't expect to like since nowadays, kdramas don't impress me that easily. However, I was not expecting to like the story, the casts and everything about it. Park Shin Hye is really a versatile actress, she has been with all types of genre and I like her the most if it is action like in Sisyphus (Kdrama) and Alive (Film), she can really pull off being so badass. She has been such an amazing actress that is hard to beat. She is one of my favorite female leads and I am so happy that even she is now married and a mom, she still looks so young and healthy!
10/10 Absolutely Beautiful! l've seen probably 50 or 60 K-Dramas, and this ranks as second only to Goblin on my list. So many are good, but this is something special. I cried about 30 different times while watching. The emotions are deep and strong and real. I will definitely be watching it more than once. The two leads are beautiful and their relationship fraught with uncertainties. It covers a thousand years and so many good-byes and bittersweet reunions. It transcends death itself. Don't miss this jewel.
10/10 Definitely one of the BEST Dramas This is definitely one of the best dramas I've seen in a while, and I think it might just be my favorite yet, and believe me l have seen a lot of TV Series.. The acting is absolutely phenomenal and I love everything about this drama! The concept and plot is original and unique, and the actors have great chemistry. With each episode you keep getting pulled in by the story to the point you cannot wait for the next episode to come out. It holds a perfect blend of humor, action, suspense/mystery, drama, and love!! I never write reviews but I'm just so in love with this one that I want it to get the full recognition it deserves. For any of you considering it, I truly and highly recommend this drama!
10/10 Outstanding performance! Refreshing Story! Outstanding performances from the entire cast, especially the male lead, Tor. Spare Me Your Mercy tackles the sensitive and thought-provoking topic of euthanasia, presenting both sides of the argument-those who support it and those who oppose. As a BL series, it's truly a rare gem and one of the best BLs l've ever watched. The kissing scenes are passionate and intense, adding to the emotional depth of the characters. The series, though only 8 episodes, felt too short. I truly wish it were longer. Please support it on iQIYI. A true masterpiece. Hope that the production team will consider a special episode for this amazing series.
10/10 Ozone Gun Atthaphan delivers a deeply authentic and remarkably nuanced performance as Ozone, a child with special needs. His ability to embody the character with such naturalism is truly outstanding. From his posture, gestures, and eye contact to his speech patterns and subtle emotional cues, every element of his portrayal feels real and grounded. He captures Ozone's fear, innocence, and unique way of interacting with the world with heartfelt precision. This performance reinforces Gun's reputation as a highly skilled and dedicated actor - one who approaches each role with depth, empathy, and professionalism.
10/10 My forever comfort drama 100% amazing. The best of 2024. I was amazed by how captivating this drama was from the very first episode.! have been a fan of Yoo Yeon Seok since Mr. Sunshine and im glad he's finally receiving the popularity that he deserves. His acting is phenomenal and the way he is able to portray his emotions is just out of this world. I look forward to future dramas of his. As a long time kdrama fan, this was the first time in a few years where I was anxiously waiting for a new episode. Yearning for anything a bts picture, a pre release, ost. Just everything about this drama is perfection. Overall acting 100. Fully recommend.
10/10 Life story telling I love the storyline so much, it really reflect my life, and the acting is so pur the actor are just amazing that you can thing they are not even acting at this point. I don't remember the last time I cried for a movie o serie. The way you can laugh then cry, I'm looking forward to seeing what the other episodes would look like but from these 2 episodes alone I'm already in love with this kdrama.
10/10 Your secret fan I think the show is excellent. Please give the season a third because I love the cast and crew. The character are so funny. My favorite so far is Charlie and Pitbabe. Thank you so much for giving us a show everyone can enjoy and watch. Please watch this season because the crew and cast work so hard for people to watch it. I would buy this season its very good and I love the funny parts about the show. Come on Viewer watch Pitbabe it's really good. I believe this show will get better with each episode every week. So watch it and give it a thump up. Thank you all for your support. I love this show.
