For Action lovers only

The story is what is just written in a synopsis, with an ample amount of action. So if you want a more deep story of character growth and bonding please just avoid watching this movie and bash it later.

It serves an audience who loves action, and we all know Jang Hyuk doing action sequences, killing the baddies, and firing guns as if in a war is a treat to watch. Not much for acting but he really put a lot of effort on action, as viewers we know that action requires more physical strength.

Since I like watching JangHyuk's works, this was an OK movie for me but I enjoyed it.

lightweight, humor with touch of retro action

A wine bottle from 1988, I know the taste is good. I wouldn't mind sipping it again someday. It's a light humor action movie that gives the audience an escape to feel the retro fast and furious in 80’s style.

The story had nothing special to offer, few youngsters who dream to live big get entangled between prosecutors and villains, trying to save themselves from both. Riding on modified fast cars, and wearing 80’s fashion on the Olympic opening day is the chosen for the movie climax D-day, and that's the reason for the movie title as SEOUL VIBE.
It isn't super complicated but within the first half one can probably guess what's gonna happen next. Although the story is not fresh its stellar cast which performed outstandingly without a doubt wouldn't let anyone down for watching the movie. They kept me entertained from beginning to end with pro acting and semi-humor.

The Chicago Typewriter duo reunion of Yoo Ah In and Go Kyung Pyo in one frame reminds me of TCT as if am rewatching the drama again. The fake gold chain is super funny on both of them. They are both amazing and YAI never disappoints its viewers, he always had the depth of the character he portrays. He is leading the team and drove like he is fast and furious.
GKP gave its usual pleasant and easygoing performance.
Ong Seung Wu had a messy curly hairstyle portraying the youngest of the team. His small and thin build added the necessity of the youngest and loving member. I loved seeing him because he lit up the screen with humor.
Park Ju Hyun, rode the bike like a pro. She had a good wardrobe of the ’80s and I loved her to see in that crop tops which enhanced her long hairstyle.

The 1988 Olympics of Seoul is just a time taken to intensify the fashion, funk, racing cars, and color palette of the movie which serves its purpose. Because it picks up the viewers and takes them on the nostalgic, retro ride of the 80s.

If anyone wants a deep story, with lots of action this isn't the one for you. Because its story is weak and has mild action. But yes it has amazing car chasing sequences, which are thrilling to watch.

Need Yibo and Dilraba in a drama together

●I thought it to be a commercial film for Oppo ph, bicycle, dance learning app. it is so short and without any context, this equipment are highlighted.

●it is about a guy who loves dancing and would do anything to continue learning dance

●After watching this damn I need to say wholeheartedly that I want to see them in a drama together. They vibed together showing off their amazing chemistry and dancing skills.

●we all have seen Yibo dancing with his mind, body, and soul, so it was hard to digest Yibo as a bad dancer also it is kind of weird to see Dilraba teaching Yibo dance. But the storyboard is nice, they learn to dance while doing daily tasks. Dilraba and Yibo danced excellently but it was still less. As a fan of street dancing style and Yibo dance shows it really wasn’t such a great dance sequence in the end.

●The music is nice. Letting you dance without much pressure.
●Rewatch is yes because they look really good together.

must watch for a dose of Wang Yi Bo

●The poster and the title match perfectly. It was a short film but in the last scene, there was a bottle, maybe water showing that it is a CF. It was a sweet warm feeling watching Yi Bo trying to chase a girl he likes.

●The film opens up with a man in an office working late at night on the Mid-autumn festival day. His wife calls up and is waiting for him to have dinner. They seem to have lost romance and fight over dinner showing that the man is busy working and doesn't spend time with his wife. In a fit of rage, the wife says that if she could go back in past she wouldn't accept his confession. Thus deities take back the man in the past and he sees his younger version who was a lot handsome but now he is changed and gained some weight. He firstly doesn't care but seeing the efforts and promises he made in his youth he realizes he had changed so much in youth.

●Since I started watching it for YiBo I had to wait approximately 10 minutes for him to lighten up my screen. He surprises each time even when he does the same things like playing guitar, singing dancing he just makes you swoon over. His tone-deaf singing is worth smiles. His signature tutting dance is forever wow.
●FL, Lin Xiao Yue was nice and heartwarming. I had only watched her in one drama.

●The music and overall everything is nice. I would rewatch this for Wang Yibo being a lover boy as cute as he is.

Soifah is excellent

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I came straight to watch the fourth gentleman of Chuthathep, Khun Chai Rachanon after finishing the third part because my excitement had increased.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
am glad I watched this amazing story, it's full of surprises. I wish I had not read the synopsis then it could have been more exciting. This had kept my expectation and is even better than the third series.

●STORY
To avoid the marital promise Khun Chai Rachanon/chai lek escapes from Bangkok to the border city. While hiking in the forest he gets lost and is saved by our FL Soifah. Chai Lek learns that he is in a village of refugees who have escaped to Thailand from Wieng Pukam waiting to go back and helps them.

●PLOT VIEW
Chai LEK and Chai Pee had always been playful and this series shows also this bond when Chai Pee helps him to escape and then the story fully focuses on FL Soifah and her background. I was delighted to see that because it was the first of the series which had more focus on her side of the story. but then this series also had given the opportunity to the Chthathep brothers to show off why they are called Suparburoot Chutathep (Gentleman of Jutathep)
Chai Lek had always been flirty, outgoing, and strong, who gained attention but in this refuge village, he got beatings from Soifah who is strong enough to take him down in combat. Nobody had treated him like that before. he falls for her strength, skills, nature, and her patriotism. Eventually helping her to return back to her country and find the lost family. There are many subplots as during refuge many of the family had been divided and lost so its important to not miss any character back story.
There is also a secondary couple Chantha and Chadchavee, who have a growing healthy relationship which is also the main part of the story.
Chai Ronapee, couldn’t help but notice that he seems more serious than before. Feels like he got some pressure on his shoulder and isn't playful anymore.
I hated the grandmother when tried to break off the couple by bringing Sininoot and making her compete to Soifah. I also hated Sininoot's mother, she was a crazy loud lady. Whenever she shouted felt like my ears are bleeding.

●ACTING/CAST
Bomb Tanin as Khun Chai Rachanon or Khun Chai Lek fit perfectly to this role with the tall and strong body but unable to stop the overbearing FL. His face lights up with a smile whenever he sees Soifah.
Taew Nataporn as Soifah is a strong patriotic girl who would die for her family and nation. This character is one of my favorites with the strong female lead who doesn't give up in any situation. Taew played this amazingly well especially er accent sounded so sweet. Even though I watched it with subs and couldn’t differentiate the language she was simply marvelous. Her getup and no makeup face added more to the portrayal of the character.
they both made a very cute couple with their bickering chemistry

●MUSIC
The OST is the same but the music is from Flute, keyboard, and drums with a full male version. It is sober and worth hearing. BGM has Intense music to always be there to elevate the tension sequence.

●REWATCH
Yes, I will watch his series again for its FL supremacy story. But let me go to finish the last series.

●APPRECIATION
The prophecy regarding the Wieng Pukam is quite poetic and well weaved. I didn’t understand it and couldn’t comprehend its meaning, but it's explained thoroughly in the later episodes.
The forest's natural beauty is captured scenically. Also, pigeon messenger, this detailing is excellent showing the 50s 60s generation.

●CRITICISM
I still can't get how Taewprom family is hell-bent on tying the marital knot by picking out cousins from the clan.

●FAV SCENE
SoiFah introduction with grandmothers.
Sininoot forest adventure although annoying but fun.

●RECOMMENDATION
You like strong FL stories with girls doing the action you can watch this series Rachanon

●AFTERTHOUGHT
There is gonna be a lot of pressure on the last series I hope it would be as good as the fourth one or say better than the fourth.

trade places and you trade problems for free

Short stories are really my type of escape from long length drama .

Story
Idol Kim Byul switch places with a part timer at coffee shop Da eun. Kim Byul has got some troubles and when she comes across her look a like she gets her help. For seven days they switch places for a celebrity dating show where Kim Byul is paired with Han Jung Woo.

Plot View
The story of switching places is seen number a times. Da Eun gets to live a celebrity life which she never wanted to be but due to her kind nature she helps Kim Byul.
the most unexpected is the romance part as the two girls fall for the man on the other side which they would have never met if they kept on living their lives.
We always think that idols/celebrities lives are shinning and glamorous as they get attention but once you walk into their shoes you can feel the pressure of maintaining that shine and popularity. switching places means switching problems too.
Its a series about what idols go though if there is something bothering them in their daily life.

Acting
Jisoo as Jung Da Eun is confident and cheerful. She has bright personality and tackles every situation that come forths her.
Jisoo as Kim Byul is considerate and misunderstood by public. She lacks confidence and gets bullied by one group member. Her keeping the blank face expression was excellent.
Shin Jun Seop as Han JungWoo is a charmer, polite and responsible

Music
OSTs and BGM were amazing. I loved the dance and choreography too.

Rewatch
It really pure and full of innocent acting. I would go for a rewatch.

Appreciation
What makes this one beautiful is the amazing actors with charming faces and gripping script.
The stalker part was done nicely.

●Youtube suggested me this movie which had the title “My Girlfriend is a Mermaid” for seconds it felt as a bizzare title and I thought of it as another mermaid movie who is falling in love with the human, but after watching,It was a good rom-com movie. I enjoyed it.
●Story- synopsis is tells the whole story. Scenes were well written with lots of comic elements which served a good laugh. Rather than romance I would cheer for the friendship of the girls.
●Acting- everyone was amazing. Zou yang as Sunny was cheerful, quick witted. Her charm as mermaid was beautiful.
The two friends were also so good, and gave some very positive friends goals.
The scientist with his hair and face looked like a lunatic and psychopath.
●Music- goodbye song at the party was nice. BGM was done nicely.
●Rewatch- since it finishes in 100mins, I cant really connect to the movie.I would rather go for another movie, but it can be rewatched.

Flawed but watchable

●Story- it was good showing a twin sister shi ning switch to marry her sisters lover. The ml takes her as replacement due to family pressure but ends up liking her when he sees the real side of shi ning. Ending was bad I am not at all convinced why the writers did that. If open ending would have been there it would have been better. It was flawed but still watchable.
●Acting- both the ML and FL performed well according to script. But in terms of acting it seemed immature. But still they were able to give out all emotions of anger, love and sadness. FL smile was very cute and pretty.
●Music- music was overall good with fine BGM.
●Rewatch- maybe not. As I wasn’t convinced with its ending.

lets chase the baddies even if it resides inside you

●HOW I CAME TO IT
Hell LDW had been rolling like the master of bromances for his past few dramas and it just compels me to watch him no matter what.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
When I saw the trailer I expected awesome action and lots of humor and it did serve me exactly that.

●PLOT VIEW
The storyline is optimistic as there is a bad character(Lee Dong Wook) who do bad things and a crazy character(Wi Ha Joon ) who does crazy things but this BAD AND CRAZY combo had a shocking relationship, if not for anyone else I was shocked at least and heartbroken too. I actually hoped if this surprise was revealed later on, but anyways the protagonist chasing the antagonist with a rowdy personality is twice as much fun.
Lead characters are one of the biggest surprises, refreshingly so as this would be the first drama, where a split personality is another person talking to the original person. Because earlier one actor would pull off the role of all the personalities.
The suspects and culprits can be interpreted, and the pacing is good too. In the last few episodes, it feels the story is lost. It has a protagonist and antagonist but then there are some other plotlines of amnesia and childhood connection, Yeah Korean drama world favorite plot which gave LDW a way to recollect his memory. simply saying his split personality existence.
Am actually dissatisfied that it got only 12 episodes sigh. Hope this was a bit longer.
I also remembered "Shin Segi" from 'Kill Me Heal Me' because K reminds me of Segi. His whole presence is very relatable as they are present to protect themselves.

●ACTING/CAST
LDW and WHJ had done a terrific justice to their respective roles. I couldn’t blink my eyes when these two are onscreen. talking about romance it was kept minimal to give the space for bromance rather than romance. I loved the chemistry between these two male leads. K going Krazy for Lee Hui Gyom was so precious.
Boss Yong was my favorite villain of all. She had an evil aura but remained a faithful person until the end.
All the supporting characters were also on spot playing their part without them this amazing show would not have been possible.

●MUSIC
OST’s have picked greatly which higher octave and I love them. “out of my way” is my favorite one amongst all. It gives electrifying energy to my lazy soul.

●REWATCH
That would be an absolute yes. I had so much fun, only if I could erase it from my mind.

●APPRECIATION
The action sequence is well shot. The guns, fights, jumps are superbly captured.

●FAV SCENE
H, I, J, K
Yeah the introduction given by K is my favorite scene.

●RECOMMENDATION
It is for those who love crime-based, action, police, and gangster. This would be one humorous watch.

Beginners Guide to BDSM

when we hear about BDSM, the first thing that comes to mind is Fifty Shades of Grey, where we saw the richness, privet jets or better say a billionaire's secret desires. it seemed all right since he was Rich, if he was poor it would turn into some crime movie.
Love and Leashes show the desires of an average office working guy, who is afraid that society might think of him as a pervert. but he meets someone who catches him but doesn't tell anybody. they both are novices to BDSM but give their best to learn and explore this new world. there is mild nudity(as ML is shirtless in a few scenes) but has a complicated shyness. this movie could have gone all wrong but it maintained the subject and the characters well. they felt raw, sexy, and clean. it had subtle rom-com too, not making it into some XXX nude content. this movie is a guide for average people who aren't rich like Mr. Christian Grey could also enjoy BDSM, but first of all, a CONSENT IS A MUST.

the exploring of this hush-hush world through the FL was done awesomely, she maintains her Dominant play well. but as a woman, she showed her weaknesses too. I loved her hard work learning about BDSM. Submissive ML was a charm, he was cute, courteous, and sexy in his work clothes wearing those ropes and belts.

EVERYONE DID A GREAT JOB. ACTORS, WRITERS, DIRECTORS EVERYONE DESERVES AN APPLAUSE.

Excellent Movie with unexpected ending

Second life a terrifying movie with a psychological element.

Story
Sun hee has parents who doesn’t give her attention, she crave for it. At school she doesn’t have friends but she creates and opportunity to make friends by buying them concert tickets. Later she buys them snacks and to gain more attention she ends up telling lies that she got a boyfriend. Her friends immediately figure out and that she might be telling lie which she overhears. She then frames her friend as Jung Mi as a ring thief to get revenge. The teacher search everyone and as for Jung Mi she has a secret which gets reveled. Jung Mi takes her life infront of Sun Hee. Sun hee runs away to country side and starts a new life in an orphanage as Kim Seul Ki. But her past secret is short lived as the saying goes “there no secret hidden forever”

Plot View
The story is solid and brutal not say as its based on a teenager. Its not their fault for being shy, its that they didn’t get parental education and lack confidence. People would say that many are born orphans but they are not like Sun Hee, yes not everyone is like her but some can be its like a psychological disease.
The ending is shocking and inconclusive. But TBH its beyond my expectations, I kept on doing my probability that this could happen or that could happen but what happens is shocking.
No matter how many new life Sun Hee begins and how many names she purloin, she will always be Su Hee and its futile. The first step would be to accept yourself for who you are but it's something a very few people achieve.

Acting
The acting was superb by all the teenage girls. It was like am seeing juniors from my own school. I loved the portrayal of character and the expressions of every actor was beautiful.

music
I was so invested in the story that I actually didnt get it. BGM were good.

Rewatch
Its a heavy movie for me. I love light hearted ones as rewatch.

Appreciation
The scenes were cinematic and beautiful.
As its short with just 1hour time its a great watch.
There no extra scenes or chitter chatter every scene makes the story moving forward.

Fav line
I can see myself even if I take another person with the camera - Lee Bang Wul

Lee Rang is the show stealer.

●This drama gives a vibe of goblin with how one travel towards afterlife. With mythical creatures living alongside humans its gives a perfect entertainment of romantic fantasy. I really liked the names of each episode and all the tiny tales within it representing it.
●Story- amazing story, firstly I thought it was about two brothers but then it changed to something more intriguing with evil from the past showing to present. The strong plot-line and script is excellent, it didn’t have kdrama cliche which is refreshing.
●Acting- everyone was doing great. Lee-dong-wook as lee yeon was absolutely eye candy.
Jo-bo-ah as ji ah was pretty as well as excellent with all the expressions.
Kim bum as lee rang is my favourite of all. Not to mention he is just wow and I desperately cried over him. Portraying negativity with a charm, i can't hate him i just loved him over and over with each episode.
Lee-tae-ri as terry, ouch he acted so well. I couldn’t hate him he is so cute. He needs more work with anger vibe overall was good.
The kid was so cute and i wish him to be as cute as he is when he grows up, he really lights up the drama.
●Music- it was ok but the one that stayed is “Nell- blue moon”
And “Monsta x- I’ll be therre”
●Rewatch- fanatsy stories are my favourite and with this excellent cast ofcourse yes.

Takes on a voyage to game world

• It's my first ever review because this drama deserves big applause in terms of everything. I binge-watched this drama for three sleepless nights because I knew, I can't sleep until its finished. This is a perfect drama for all age groups. You can feel the intensity from the first episode.
•I started watching it because of its graphic content but fell in love with the story, cast, and music. This show has outstanding graphic content. Gaming sections feel that I am inside the game which gives goosebumps, chills, and excitement.
•The story is just WOW, as you have read the plot, based on ye Xiu regaining his success and starting from the beginning is truly inspiring. Every episode end puts you on the edge and wants you to watch the next episode immediately.
•About the cast of course YangYang as Ye Xiu is the best choice, as an ace player acts very impressively. Watched his love o2o but this one made me a fan of him. I can't imagine anybody would pull off this role better than him. All the other cast has also done a very good job.
My personal favorite would be Maggie Jiang playing Chen Guo. the internet cafe owner character, many find her character a bit over but I liked it cause she felt like very strong support for the Team. Many could not take the pressure but she was good and eased her character perfectly.
•OST is amazing especially "light from the dust", which is played during the game, it makes you go on another level when it starts playing. It makes you feel hallucinate.
• It's a perfect binge watch for the weekend and definitely a 10/10 rewatch. If you are looking for a good Chinese drama it's this THE KINGS AVATAR.

fluffed romance with some twist

●FIRST IMPRESSION
How was I in my school days I wish I had some photographs of me. its so cool if you have some videos or photos of your school time. with friends. i just have all classmate pics which were given by school, and its enough for me to get nostalgic.

●STORY
The story shows the leads persnality clash since the school days as they are polar oppsite. FL is like running in a competition to exel in her future. ML is simple who lives in present without a worry enjoying the nature.
But the two meet again as the time has brought the two together once again.

●PLOT VIEW
This plot I have seen in many dramas about high school students who turn couples in their adulthood.not just in dramas but in real life too. But this story is diabetic sweet with so many heartwarming and humorous moments. Because its the leads are polar opposite bickering couple. But they create a magical chemistry which is worth watching. Leads set aside their differences and fall in love again understanding the life and its beauty.
It also shows how good grades topper student shows an instance of a good future. And art is seen as a low grade to people with no future. That really needs a change.
Since the start of series it has a pace and surprising events, which is engaging and always make one wait for the next episode. Well am beingeing this because its difficult to resist from watching the next episode

●ACTING/CAST
CWS is the guy next door, who is unattractive, lazy but is kind and enjoys life. He lives his passion and not in any competiotion. CWS as choi Ung is the perfect. I cant take anyone else for this role. The heatwarming epression he delivers is crazy rich with his innocent curvy smile and shy eyes.
KDM is a tough stubborn character. But she looks so beautiful with long hair since I last saw her in Itaewon class. The resilient and cold character suited her as she doesnt smile a lot and has a lot of vigor in her eyes.

●MUSIC
The OST’s are soulful. They enhances the mood of the scene and remains in the mind for a long time.

●REWATCH
Yes am definetely rewatching this. It just reminds me of my first love.

●APPRECIATION
The color palette of scene is so eye-pleasing
The lighting of the rooms, dim, dark has a feeling and mood.
The sketches of CWS is picked carefully and everyone is lovely to see.

●FAV SCENE
Well, there are many and it's difficult to choose one.
I would pick the brooming scene from episode 2

●QUOTES
I love things that don't change but people change or disappear over time

●AFTERTHOUGHT
A fluffy yet emotional love story.
