The billiard uniforms were undeniably stylish, and I couldn't help but admire Zhao Jin Mai's pants sets, especially the breathtaking pleated dress she wore. Leo Wu and Wang Xing Yue effortlessly carried off their outfits, with Wang Xing Yue's undeniable charm leaving a lasting impression. As a billiards enthusiast, I appreciated learning about snooker through this drama and reminiscing about my skills, particularly when it came to mastering tricky positions behind the back, a move I've always excelled at. Armed with my pool stick, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire cast for making the world of billiards so exhilarating.
In my view, billiards is a sport that deserves more recognition, and I'm delighted to see it gaining traction, especially with its inclusion in the Olympics in certain countries. The campaign to include billiards in the 2024 Olympics in Paris, initiated in July 2021, is a testament to its growing popularity and global appeal.

Zhang Ling He's ability to seamlessly transform into his character is remarkable. While I can't claim to know his true personality, his portrayal in this drama felt particularly authentic. His mastery of martial arts on screen appeared incredibly genuine, leaving me curious about whether he had prior training in the discipline.
The dynamic between the brother characters portrayed by Ryan Cheng (Gong Shang Jue) and Tian Jia Rui (Gong Yuan Zhi) was both exasperating and brilliantly executed. Their presence on screen often had me on the edge of my seat, metaphorically reaching for my shoe to throw in frustration. Ryan Cheng's mesmerizing gaze left me eager to see more of his work in the future.
The storyline was rife with mystery, keeping me thoroughly engaged throughout. However, I must admit I was somewhat disappointed by the ending. Not because of any character deaths, but rather how it concluded. It left me with a strong feeling that there may be a sequel in the works.
Jolin Jill's portrayal of a comedic character had me shaking my head in amusement. Her antics added a delightful touch of humor to the narrative.
Overall, I commend the entire cast and crew for their collective efforts in bringing this story to life. The costumes were particularly impressive, adding to the overall aesthetic of the production. I eagerly await the possibility of a sequel and hope to see the return of these talented individuals in future installments.

Esther's portrayal is simply adorable; she embodies the character with such charm that if I had a daughter, I'd hope she'd be just like her. The intricate weaving of the storyline by the writers is truly commendable. A heartfelt thank you to the writers for their incredible work!
Let's talk about Xu Kai – OMG, not only did he flawlessly deliver lines for two characters, but he also brought a third one to life without uttering a single word (saying that metaphorically)! The seamless production of scenes featuring all three Xu Kais on screen is a testament to the phenomenal work of the screen production team. Xu Kai, your portrayal of two characters is nothing short of extraordinary – I applaud you wholeheartedly.
Esther Yu faced a similar challenge, memorizing lines for one character and bringing her to life with such grace. Again, a big thank you to the screen producer for skillfully presenting two Esthers in one scene. The love between the two characters was beautifully depicted, and I found myself rooting for them till the very end. Speaking of which, that final scene left me wanting more – writer, what was that? I yearned for them to embrace each other with open arms!
The supporting cast, who stood by the two leads, also deserve recognition for their remarkable performances. Every actor and actress breathed life into their roles, making the story truly come alive for me. From the captivating set to the exquisite costumes, the stunning martial arts sequences to the enchanting animation – every aspect of the production was executed with perfection.
Once again, a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for a job well done. This drama wouldn't have been a perfect 10 for me without the dedication and talent of every member of the cast and crew.

I love this ending.
Bai Lu, my favorite Korean actress, consistently impresses with her ability to embody and breathe life into her characters. Her portrayal in this drama is no exception; she effortlessly makes the role her own, delivering a truly believable performance. The intelligence woven into the storyline took me by surprise, and I find myself compelled to rewatch it, eager to catch any nuances I might have missed initially.Zhang Ling He, a relatively new actor with four years under his belt, continues to show remarkable improvement with each project. His depiction of a character with two distinct personalities within the same time period is a testament to his talent. The first episode demands focused attention, and his compelling performance truly stood out. His captivating eyes, a personal weakness of mine, added depth to his character, resonating with my emotions throughout the drama.
This journey was an emotional rollercoaster, evoking tears, smiles, and even prompting me to throw my slipper at the TV in moments of heightened engagement. The stellar cast, comprised of many talented actors, contributed significantly to the overall excellence of the drama. Special thanks to each of them for their dedicated efforts. Kudos to the writers for crafting a compelling narrative, and I'm particularly grateful for the inclusion of martial arts in the storyline. The swordplay was a delightful element that added an extra layer of excitement. It was surprising that Zhang Ling's second persona didn't engage in much martial arts, leaving me yearning for more. Nonetheless, the overall experience was truly worth it.

For enthusiasts of historical Kdramas, this is an absolute gem. Woo Do Hwan, portraying Kang Han Su, an attorney, left me utterly impressed with his acting prowess. His performances, whether conveying emotions through subtle movements, captivating smiles, or portraying intense anger and fear, were truly overwhelming. There were moments when I felt like I wasn't merely watching a drama but witnessing real-life unfolds. My heartfelt applause goes to Woo Do Hwan for his incredible talent – truly amazing!Bona, in the role of Lee Yeon Joo, delivered an outstanding performance. Her chemistry with Woo Do Hwan added another layer to the series, and she's fortunate to share the screen with such a talented co-star. While I wish to see more of her on-screen presence, it seems she opts for one drama per year, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating her next project.
Cha Hak Yeon, in his debut appearance for me, showcased a level of experience that caught my attention. The narrative's emphasis on attorneys striving to protect those falsely accused of crimes in an era where any offense could result in a death sentence was both intriguing and unsettling. I'm grateful not to have lived in Korea during that historical period. Additionally, the portrayal of Korea's historical clothing, especially the beautiful hats, added a captivating visual element to the series.
Thanks to Team Joseon Attorney: A Mortality (2020)

Love is in the Air!
Tang Min, portraying Shen Jin, showcased commendable acting skills that initially impressed but later faced some setbacks. Her portrayal of the character, reminiscent of individuals who used to test my patience during my professional years, had moments where her high-pitched and bratty demeanor became a bit overwhelming. To mitigate this, I found myself adjusting the volume and even closing my eyes to alleviate the intensity. Despite these challenges, she undeniably excels in bringing out the bratty persona with an almost disconcerting accuracy.The saving grace of the drama, in my opinion, was Caesar Wu's portrayal of Chu Xiu Ming. His character, initially stern and stubborn, underwent a satisfying transformation as he discovered a love for Shen Jin, a development that I welcomed wholeheartedly. Wu's commanding presence and graceful stature added a unique charm to the series, and his acting prowess left a lasting impression. I am eagerly anticipating more projects featuring this talented actor.
On a positive note, the set design was truly remarkable, complemented by an enjoyable musical score. The martial arts sequences, particularly those featuring Caesar Wu, were executed with excellence. I extend my gratitude to the writers, producers, staff, and the supporting cast for their collective efforts in making this story a captivating experience.

It was refreshing to witness her as a soldier, portraying a strong and determined female lead. However, there was a subtle sense of something missing that lingered with me. Expressing my thoughts took some time; it wasn't easy putting my feelings into words. Having completed the series on January 1, 2024, I found myself overcome with sadness, particularly about the character of Deng Wei. The emotional impact caught me off guard, prompting me to reflect on the drama's title.
It seems there might be a second part in the works, and if it comes to fruition, I intend to watch it back-to-back. Perhaps with a second viewing, I'll find better words to articulate my experience. Despite the complex emotions it stirred within me, I refrain from giving the drama a negative review. The fact that it evoked such profound feelings from me is a testament to its impact, deserving the rating I have assigned.

Doggy Dog World
Cha Eun Woo, a young and exceptionally handsome K-pop idol, proved his acting prowess in this engaging drama. I was charmed by his character, especially the humor derived from his fear of dogs, a sentiment I could relate to, particularly when it comes to large dogs. His portrayal resonated with me, showcasing a side I never expected from him. The authenticity of his acting, especially during the kissing scenes, left a lasting impression. While it was acting, the chemistry felt remarkably genuine.Park Gyu Young, although cute and commendable in her performance, seemed to lack complete chemistry with Cha Eun Woo, leaving a slight gap in their connection for me.
The adorable dogs added a delightful touch to the narrative, with one support actor delivering convincing barking sounds. The overall set and storyline were praiseworthy. My gratitude extends to the cast, writers, and producers for their contributions to making this KDrama an enjoyable experience.

More Episodes please!
This delightful Kdrama captivated my attention. It touches on themes of fear, language, and substances, though I found them subtly portrayed. The exploration of remembering past lives intrigued me, and I particularly admired the strong performance of Shin Hye Sun, the main actress who skillfully portrayed a character engaged in martial arts. Despite not reaching perfection, her depiction was indeed commendable.Ban Ji Eum, portraying the tall and handsome lead actor, brought a muscular presence to the screen. The unique storyline, delving into the concept of past lives, set this drama apart from others I've watched. My only lament is that it wasn't longer; I yearned for more episodes to delve deeper into the narrative.
The contrast between the historical and present-day lives of the characters added a fascinating layer to the storyline. Gratitude extends to the producers, writers, costume designers, and all involved in bringing this captivating drama to life, from the automobiles to the homes—a heartfelt thank you for creating such an engaging experience.

Ending???
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ancient Love Poetry from the past; it left a lasting impression on me, prompting the desire to revisit it because of this CDrama "The Last Immortal". I see the connection between the two. I suggest that viewers watch Ancient Love Poetry to remember the name Yuangi before watching The Last Immortal! Fantasy dramas, particularly those infused with martial arts and adorned with exquisite costumes, captivate my heart, especially during moments of melancholy. Zhao Lu Si, an actress whom I admire greatly, consistently delivers performances marked by authenticity in every drama she undertakes. Wang An Yu, whom I previously noticed in Go Go Squid, has captured my attention in this CDrama, compelling me to explore other productions where he takes on a lead role. The character he portrayed resonated deeply with me, sparking admiration for leadership qualities.The meticulous craftsmanship evident in the costumes, animations, fantasy elements, martial arts sequences, and set design is commendable. My sincere gratitude for bringing this enchanting story "The Last Immortal" to the screen. Special thanks to the supporting cast whose contributions played a pivotal role in making the storyline exceptional. However, my only qualm lies with the ending. While I appreciate Gu Jin's return, I believe the conclusion should have focused on Gu Jin and Yin rather than Xiyuan and Ming Gi. I must also express my admiration for Li Yun Ruo and Ying Er, who portrayed the characters Hong Yi and Hong Ruo with remarkable skill and artistry.

Dilraba Dilmurat has already won my heart, and I find myself drawn to almost every drama she graces. The white hair look on her is simply enchanting. I must applaud the hairdresser responsible for those historical wigs – the styles are so timeless that they could easily fit into the present day. Their craftsmanship never fails to amaze me.Gong Jun, portraying Crown Prince Han Ye, delivered an excellent performance. This marks my second time watching him, and even though I don't recall the first instance, he left a lasting impression in this drama. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for his future projects.
Now, let's talk about Liu Yuning. The more I watch this actor, the more he captivates my spirit. His eyes are beautifully crafted, almost like windows to his soul. As an actor, he is exceptional, and his singing vocals elevate his talent to another level. What an outstanding performer!
Despite the tiny flaw in the costumes, set, and storyline – something I won't spoil here – the writers nearly had a perfect score from me, still earning a solid 10. Overall, the drama left a lasting impression, thanks to the stellar cast, engaging plot, and meticulous attention to detail in various aspects.

This drama had me completely captivated! Despite my usual aversion to scary movies, this one wasn't too intense for me – as long as it didn't involve vampires or zombies, I was on board. Bai Yu, the main lead actor, impressed me with his performance, especially considering his character had no background in martial arts. His portrayal exuded humility, and it marked my first time witnessing his acting prowess.As for the main lead actress, Ni Ni, she was truly remarkable in her role. Even if she isn't well-versed in martial arts, her acting suggested otherwise – she delivered her character with such finesse. I particularly admired her costumes. The set design and the depiction of the world above the parallel world were nothing short of spectacular. The animations were commendable, and I must give Turkey a high five for the excellent execution, earning a solid 10 rating.
The turtle animations bridging the worlds were a personal favorite, and I found myself contemplating if they were linked to those that disappeared. Admittedly, I did close my eyes quite a bit during the intense moments – it's all part of the experience! The ending was perfect, and my gratitude extends to the writers; the music played a significant role in elevating the overall appeal. Just a side note, snakes and spiders are not my favorite either!

If a drama manages to evoke a range of emotions within me, it automatically earns a perfect score of 10 in my book. My admiration for actor Song Kang dates back to his performance in Navillera, and in this latest drama, his beauty truly captivates. The on-screen chemistry with actress Kim Yoo Jung adds an extra layer to the narrative.The fantasy elements, the musical score, and the meticulously designed sets, especially his character's house, contribute to an overall amazing viewing experience. The ability of the drama to make me laugh, cry, and even feel moments of anger is precisely what I appreciate in this genre.
The climax of the story was exceptionally well-executed, leaving me eagerly anticipating a potential part 2. It feels like there's more to unfold, and I genuinely hope the creators consider expanding on this narrative.

What was with that Ending!
This drama truly stirred my emotions from start to finish; I found myself with a racing heart and tears streaming down my face by the end. Liu Yuning's performance was exceptional, and I can't imagine anyone else in the role. I recently came across a video suggesting that Wallace Huo might have replaced him through an AI face switch, and I sincerely hope that's not the case. My growing discomfort with Artificial Intelligence applications has led me to believe that this technology poses a threat to our world. I fear it will foster laziness and have a detrimental impact on humanity. On a brighter note, I must commend Liu Yuning for not only his captivating deep voice but also his remarkable musical abilities. I'm unsure if he has undergone martial arts training, but if those action scenes are a result of his acting skills, they certainly appear authentic.I loved the strong woman part, played by Liu Shi Shi (great name) I hope to view more of her work. I can imagine all the wires she had to go through to play this part, flying in the air and all the twists and turns. She is a 10-star actress for me.
The Martial Arts Scenes: I loved how they paused the camera to show their poses in the fight scenes. I wish all dramas did this.
Update: Wallace Huo did NOT replace him. It was a hoax.
