Waste of time

So there is a bunch of movies with same leads. I thought of killing my time, but this movie kind of killed me.
Story was ok but the scripting was done badly.The slap/kiss were like in the lakrons, but so poor that I wanted to poke my eyes out. There was no chemistry between the leads, it was just revenge of ML by torturing FL.

The bad acting and poor production quality just waste of time. You can see repetitive costume from the similar movies.
BGM was fine. Music was also good, although it doesnt ring in the head for long but when the songs were played it is soothing to the ears.
I wont recommend it to anyone neither gonna rewatch it.

Once a watch

One night stand followed by marriage is the plot which ain't getting older. And if the drama is of the rom-com genre it gives a perfect drama when you want something light.

The story developed nicely in the beginning but it went on dragging the sibling rivalry until the very end. The actual story should have been based more on flash marriage but it wasn’t.
It had typical Thai drama cliches but the amount of humor it has makes it bearable. The drama story revolves around how the FL has lacked her father's affection and is kicked out of his company. And how ML comes as an unexpected supporter in her life to make life better and give her all the love she lacked. The family members of FL are some antiques who deserve to be in the museum, how can you be so stupid, even after constantly getting hints of betrayal they remain stupid.
ML's side of the story was so superficial and just a glimpse of his family. But he remained as one winner to all the FL family through his quick wits.

The acting was mediocre by everyone. I expected a lot from PookLook, as I have seen her before, but the cheesy script didn’t give a way to show their acting skills.
ML Tono paying Pokpong was too monotonous. He was written like badly like use him when needed then throw away. But Tono made sure he was likeable despite such a bad script.
The friends of leads Tat, Korn, and Fang were so loyal friends that I wanted to give a hug to them onscreen.

The music is ok but I don’t remember anything even after watching 17 episodes, except the opening tack. so the opening song is quite sweet and good.

Rewatch is a NO from me, as I lost interest halfway through and just wanted to complete it until the end.

Watch this if you want something light and like one nightstand genre.
Do not watch if you want a deep story, it just has a sibling rivalry as a core story.

Subtle movie on sensitive topic of bullying

I had watched a lot of school bullying movies but this one is totally different. Many of the viewers might have watched The Penthouse, where one student dies and all the main characters are viewed as the probable suspects Because they did something horrible to her.
Here in the movie, ELEGANT LIES shows an introverted girl who dies without any last words. So the probable suspects include her friends who turn out to be bullies. The movie had a sensitive topic yet it's subtle and not horrifying. It shows that communication with the kids is very important. Also how much friends are important too, because we tend to lean on them other than family but are all the friends worth keeping?
I wish she really could have made a true friend!!!

As in the poster, Cheon Ji (Kim Hyang-Gi ) is knitting a red scarf, its actually very deep meaning. The red scarf is a symbolic item and it is knitted well showing that the title ELEGANT LIES is indeed pretty but when the lies are unfolded and the truth is revealed showing the thread which is simple. when the girl asked to buy yarn from her mother. Maybe she had hope in those threads which comforted her. the notes in the ball of red yarn can be interpreted as she wanted someone to help her but also wasn't able to say the pain in her feelings
I really liked the mature approach of the sister Man Ji, towards the end. She really played a tough character easily and gave a new insight that what's right and wrong. Although she couldn’t save her sister, she saved another person.
Mother really had a hard time, as she was unable to read her kid's minds, and the situation also brought her into a tight spot where she also cannot have time to keep morning for her lost child because only two members are left to rely on each other.
Acting is really superb by everyone. I admired Hyang Gi and was astonished by Yoo Ah In. He is an actor who just come and goes of the screen but marks his presence. He cannot be ignored even if in a supporting role.

suspenseful until the end

●This movie was a pretty dark and intense movie. It addresses issues of bullying, suicide, depression, S.Korean filmmakers are masters in creating such dark movies. But don’t take it in another manner, it is not talking about anti-bullying or suicide prevention, it goes ahead with the kid's trauma or more say psychological behavior where they lack care and think of suicide. it was more like aftereffects of an accident that pushed a girl to think of proving her innocence by taking her own life.

●I was surprised to see that it won so many awards because I felt there were some plot holes and loose ends. I really didn’t get why were these bits there.
1. A random student saying she wanted Kyung Min to die.
2. Come back the message in sign language, when it was decrypted it didn’t give any significance, it was just there intensifying the scene because no one understood except the audience.
3. The school girl implicating homeroom teacher.
4. Mother sits in the investigation process and also in statement recording of the witness. That really incorrect.
5. The homeroom teacher's behavior was very bad, he lacked compassion and there is no way to treat students with beatings.

●The movie had an open ending and it depends on the viewer's speculation. I felt like Kyung Min, lacked parental care and might have depression. Or her mother might have done something to her which lead her to take such a step. Or she might have been bullied in school.
●Young Hee's preferences might be one reason she had death thought because we know that society is unacceptable to new things.
●The acting was intense by the lead and being 28-year-old Jeon Yeo been as Young-hee just nailed it. she played well with her expressions without the dialogues. there are many dark dialogues she spoke which kind of gives a heavy blow in the heart.
Seo Young Hwa as Kyoung min's mom seemed like an adult bully who lost her child. and desperately wants her kid to be remembered. she performed finely showing the emotions of the mother.

AWESOME

●No wonder that this drama received so much hype and every SNS has lots of spoilers, yeah even MDL went into a slump with a major spoiler post that wasn’t marked spoiler. I saw that and kind of waited for the hype to die down before watching it.
So finally after watching this drama my every bit of feeling says it's AWESOME.
Since there are so many good reviews already I would keep it short

●LIKED
>in terms of story spiced with action, comedy and romance are fabulous.
>excellent cast from leads to supporting actors everyone gave a topnotch performance. Loved Shin Hye Sun, Kim Jung Hyun, and Choi Jin Hyuk
>superbly tuned music makes the mood of scenes more enjoyable.

●DISLIKED
>Kim Byung In, and his forcing himself and showing that what he is doing is for the queen's good but I think he was selfish wanting to be happy because he was affection deprived.

It deserved to be called Special

●Finally, I found the subbed version of this special episode on Youtube.
Yeah, it's quite exciting coz we get an insight into what happened in the lives of all those players after the championship game.

●Although it is short but helps greatly to cherish the show even more with the 11-minute episode. Some of the characters are having a new beginning and some are focusing more to win while some are sharing joy and love with their loved ones. Every story just makes me want more of the show. But it is fine that I get to watch this. I am more than happy and loved this.

●Ji Xiang Kong (Wang YiBo) always hits like wow, but Pei Xi and Xia Ling are also adorable in their bits part.

YOUNGEST CHUTHATHEP WON MY HEART

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I am on a run to binge this series and when the final chapter is here how can I give up. My excitement has gone par as each series until now was excellent. I had zero expectations from this series but this one is THE BEST. I watch series for Great, James Jirayu, and Pope but my heart got swept away to James Ma and Mint Chalida. I will check out their other shows.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
WOW, I am still processing the infinity level of emotions I went through while watching Khun Chai Ronapee Heart-wrenching love story. Everything was perfectly balanced melodrama, action, romance. The makers conserved the best for last. this review might get long because I am so excited to write all my thoughts.

●STORY
Khun Chai Ronapee falls for a kind-hearted actress and thus embarks on a journey to conquest his love with hurdles from family and support from his four elder brothers.

●PLOT VIEW
This series had an excellent plot, comprising all the previous series bits. Writers gave insight to the elder brothers' after story, which sometimes made me mad because I was so invested with the leads that they will have less screentime but by the end, I understood they were a necessity for plot building.
Piangkwan was an actress working on a movie named “Kinaree. just like its name Kinaree, she had eagerness, firmness, and honesty. she was hardworking but misfortune kept chasing her. talking about the entertainment industry one could think glamour but our Piangkwan belong to a simple family which builds to her side of the story. her mother's backstory built a quite intense plot which gave in Chai Pee more to show off his kind, helpful and friendly nature. He was rebelling inside and endearing outside. Khun Chai Ronapee has love at first sight, that was a beautiful scene. they both showed longing in their eyes which melted my heart. his character dynamics changed giving CHUTHATHEP series a surprising character change and story. their chemistry wasn't passionate but extraordinary which could melt anyone's heart.
Since the fourth attempt to fulfill the matrimony promise was failed the pressure was quite high on the youngest grandson but he remained direct with his grandmother that he can't spend his life with a woman he doesn't love, which showed his brave and sincere soldier attitude.
Rampha was a master manipulator, with all the strings she pulled to trick everyone. Marathee was evil but she was mentally sick. she was a rich specious person, just a bragger. It felt like being beautiful is everything in the world to them. I would actually blame their father who raised them that way. His greed mind, infested toxicity in his two daughters.
The grandmothers were hateful. They were rich people who abuse their power and defaming their own kids. Giving Chai Pee a lecture on duty because he is a soldier, excuse me he knew his responsibility very well, that's why he keeps enduring. Grandma Oon always spiteful, annoying, and cumbersome had a judgmental personality thinking of herself as an omniscient.
I pity Chai Pee, when he saw his brothers with their wives he had a happy yet wistful face. I cried during the emotional scenes saying chai brothers can you do a single thing for your maknae. all the brothers realizing how pure his love for Piangkwan is and also All the brother's wives bonding together with each other was what made this family complete. So whenever romance occurs my instincts said come on go ahead and kiss as we until now didn't have a proper kiss scene in the previous series.
Lastly, the secondary couple Khun Att and Khun Junkapoh were adorable with their bickering. Khun Yod and Khun Pim were a weak couple but thanks to Pingkwan they realized their relationship. the budding friendship of Pranot and salakjit was cute.

●ACTING/CAST
Khun Chai Ronapee (James Ma) playing an airforce pilot and the youngest of five brothers. This is his debut series and he nailed it. His tallness flaunted his pilot uniform with attitude riding a bike. He had expressive eyes that whenever he looked at her there was longing. his character grew a lot from the previous playful character to a strong-willed man who knows how to protect his country and woman.
Pinagkwan (Mint Chalida) has a resolute beauty perfect for the character. Her deep brown eyes, short hair, slender body were perfect forPiangkwan, who has a hard life but still lives with integrity.
Khun Chai Yai became a fatherly figure, at last, showing his responsibility towards his brother.
Khun Chai Pawonruj was very motivating.
Soifah showed her mighty form standing up front to Taewaprom to buzz off.

●MUSIC
What could I say about this, I was just mesmerized by the main OST by Crescendo that I didn’t skip it, but yeah I minimized the screen to avoid spoilers. It is composed of guitar, conga, and drums. This is my favorite OST from all the 5 series. All the other tracks were beautiful specifically “Make It Right” by Patee Sarasin, it felt as if this track is made for this series only. I updated my playlist with these two songs. Instrumental BGM which I ignored in others were prominent and lovely.

●REWATCH
YES YES YES, I would be watching it real soon. I just want the first impression to wear off a little bit so that I could enjoy this once again.

●APPRECIATION
PiangKwan's dance sequence was awesome, although I don’t understand Thai dance but it was a bird dance about Kinaree, a mythological character who is half human and half bird.
Although the graphics of planes were not good, the sequence shot was fantastic.

●CRITICISM
I was enjoying the story but I wanted more romance for the leads, cause everyone had the after story, why not PiangKwan and Chai pee should also have it.

●FAV SCENE
First interaction of PiangKwan and Chai Pee.
Khun Chai Ronapee calling his brother and saying he misses them.
letter writing at the airforce base

●RECOMMENDATION
If you like dramas with a strong hardworking FL, soldier ML with family drama, you could watch this series Khun Chai Ronapee.

●QUOTES
When we meet someone we like, we want to know the real person which is different from what we have seen.
Everyone sheds tears when it comes to feelings of the heart. Otherwise, they wouldn't call it love.

●WISDOM
How much good wrapping is done outside if the thing is rotten inside it will be always thrown away.
There can be a misunderstanding due to societal differences but it also signifies richness doesn't give you integrity you have to cultivate it.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Whatever the situation is don’t give up on hard work. Hard work brings you the fruits of success.
Chuthathep should have searched for cousins in the clan to escape this marriage but it was good because those sisters didn't deserve to be in the royal family.

Trust me this show is Amazing

●HOW I CAME TO IT
This drama was suggested by my MDL friend SHINO,, and indeed this was a very refreshing and quality work which has excellent rom com presentation.

●STORY
The series is drawn with four major characters, Lipda has a stock broking company and likes Awwasaya, who has been by her side since he started his company. Awwasaya is a hard working woman but is in love with her junior office worker Pranon, and to court him she starts a secret chat without revealing her name. The whole office gets curious as to who is the secret lover of pranon and everybody tries to find out. However pranon gets confused and thinks his coworker Pripprou is texting him. This whole lot of confusion creates new twists and lies which is so interesting.

●PLOT VIEW
The online love, admiring someone without revealing who you are, its quite catchy and interesting. It happened when the phones were newly launched and I have seen many successful stories of online love but its also risky that the other person may be a bad one.
This series was clear concepted that you fall for the face, not for the words and warmth received online. I had lot of questions regarding pranon affection as he definitely did not sort out whom he actually liked and goes with the wave rather than getting the truth only to have regret later.
i was rooting for Awwasaya from the start and wanted her happy ending. but the way this series took a 360 degree turn kept me thinking, but still i admired the maturity she showed in every aspect. she had a caring side but she wants t be strong and thats nothing wrong. she dealt with her heartbreak very maturely which made me like her even more.
I hated the working environment as the coworkers were too much nosy, they were like paparazzi who want uncover the secret lover. It was too much and I literally skipped through these corny group meetings.

●ACTING/CAST
Anne Thong as Awwasaya, just stood as powerful pack of surprise. I am highly impressed by her character portrayal. one strong woman who didn’t rely her life on man and can do anything. I just added her to my fav thai actress list. I cant believe she is such a senior actress, but looks young, no wonder her acting is flawless.
Peter corp As Lipda was fun and loyal being. His selfless love towards saya is impressive. He is the type of boss one could ask for. His expression and laugh were totally killer.
Ekkachai As Run a homosexual person was flawless. He is the friend I truly want, supportive every time through thick and thin. he entertained though out the drama and is very cute to watch. his dialogue delivery and body language were flawless.
Mark prin as Pranon was really a confused person who didn’t realize whom he likes. He needed to sort out his feeling first than to question out his partner feelings. He was good but not impressive, his face seemed as if he is depressed most of the time
Kimberly Kim as Pripprou was the most annoying among the four leads. Instead of questioning other love, she should have been truthful about herself. her stupid actions not only hurt her but majority of the people. If she had not been in the series it would have a simple story. The only good thing was she had continuous character growth.


●MUSIC
Music was fine but not catchy except for the closing track. I thought that this is sung by Peter corp and later checked it to know my guess is correct. he also has a scene singing and truly he got a mesmerizing voice.

●REWATCH
I liked the series and only thing I will rewatch would be Awwasaya scene, she is the perfect example of strong independent woman, very inspiring.

●APPRECIATION
The importance of family and friends was depicted nicely. Human need to be kind and honest to each other. Because we all know if we lie once, we need to lie again to cover up the previous lie, hence creating a mountain of lie. We need to be upfront about our feeling.
The food for thought written by Awwasaya on her blog were not just excellent for the series it were also helpful to ordinary person who can connect to her deep thoughts. these thought gives a clear and different aspect to look at the world and face problems.

●CRITICISM
The work environment felt suffocating. there should have been some rules regarding the workplace.
The return of Ex was like a typical lakron only to torture the leads.

●FAV SCENE
When Lipda gives Awwasaya the task of switching on the TV, Changing the clothes and cook food with the hands tied. This was a really fun game and I would really try it someday.

●RECEMMENDATION
This was not a typical lakron, so am highly satisfies after watching this. it was lacking in thing but is enjoyable to heart content making you sob.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
I don’t agree with the thought that woman should pretend to be helpless just to lure a man, she should be independent. Why men cant be sure of their feeling, going around flirting with girls. if they are so sure about their feeling why wait just pursue the girl and try your hardest to win her.

dark and eerie movie with serenity and optimism tone

●HOW I CAME TO IT
It came in my recommendation list, I don’t know why it came although I don’t like horror movies but I ended up watching it.

●STORY
The movie is made up of 4short stories, with three stories connected to first one, where four strangers visit four humans who have their birthdays a day before the world ends. They have come to give them most unforgettable gift of life.
••First party- a filmmaker is camping at forest trying to finish writing a script for ten years. he hears an explosion and four strangers suddenly pass by, they have a small talk and filmmaker is insisted to narrate his script.
••Second party- a school girls who has inclination to unusual art, is hated at school. She meets a middle aged man who lives next door and goes for a drive with him and discovers that they both share the same desire that is destruction of the earth.
••Third party- a university professor who is mamas boy writes poem and is searching for true love. He is visited by a young woman with incurable disease and has a few days left before she dies. She says loves his poetry and wanted to meet him before she dies. they both spent time the day together.
••Fourth party- a housewife lives with a husband and child. She is tired sick and tired of her life due to lack of appreciation. When she goes out for grocery shopping, she meets a young woman who is her fan and has read the book written by her. Housewife goes with her to the greenhouse as she promises to give her a birthday present.

●PLOT VIEW
The movie is made up of 4short stories, with three stories connected to first one. Filmmaker is visited by four strangers and they promise a present if he narrates his new script, which is concurrently is about mysterious people visiting individual on their birthday. So the other three stories are framed as filmmakers script.
The movie is about a special gift for people who are neglected or outcast. All of them wanted someone to appreciate them, school girl wanted friends or parents to talk, professor wanted someone whom he can dedicate his poems, and the housewife wanted a friend who ca appreciate her hard-work. All the three human takes a trip them as I presumed it as “I HAVE A DATE WITH SPRING”
The scenarios seems light but when the movie ends it leaves chills down the spine. The film has a grim concept, which is ghastly approach telling that every human has same ending but still not same if he has found what he wanted from life.
The plot twists are breathtaking woe of artwork.

●ACTING/CAST
Just stupendous by each and every actor.
The first mention is Kim So-hee’s precocious high school student and Kim Sung-kyun’s erratic uncle, they pulled the movie to another level.
Lee Joo-Young is free spirit and Jang Young-Nam is as melancholy housewife having a party is yet another powerful performance.

●MUSIC
It was amazing and ensembled in each scene beautifully.

●REWATCH
Well TBH am a little afraid and scared. I appreciate the film but for a rewatch I would wait for my mind to fade it. You can have a rewatch if you like apocalyptic setting, with sci-fi, horror and fantasy mixed movie.

●APPRECIATION
The aesthetic in each frame is like an art. The rural and urban setting, forests and mountains, empty streets, silent library and many more has exquisite serenity Thanks to the cinematographer for this.

●FAV SCENE
When the schoolgirl and the uncle lie on the ground covered with fallen maple leaf.
The marijuana party at the green-house and the video-game framework.

●QUOTES
The world is doomed anyway, so let’s all go nicely. And if possible, let’s go beautifully

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Inspite of having a strange, death, violence setting, the movie has a playful and dramatic feel. i feel immense respect an gratitude to the writers /directors Seung-Bin Baek who have the courage to make such dark and eerie movie coating it into a dramatic concept with an optimistic tone.

Ren haoming mothers dies and her designs were stolen. Haoming thinks that its Ruan qingtian mothers works. She then dies paying off the money for the design as debt. Haoming barges into Ruan qingtian apartment and asks for a debt clearance. Qingtian refuses to let go of her family heirloom as debt, to which Haoming asks her to become his maid for just one year. Haoming gives her menial tasks other than house keeping to torture her. Qingtian meets with an old friend Zijin who propose her, seeing that Haoming forces Qingtian to get married.

The slow motion slap looked disgusting as jumping to mud pond knowing that its pond. ML looked as a monster torturing and abusing FL mentally and physically and making pregnant. I wanted to puke because of the bad acting.
FL goes shopping, out of house and sleeping in maid clothes seems too unrealistic, atleast she should have removed that maid apron. She was stupid like a bimbo and this movie is a crap.
The whole story is very disappointing and giving my time to such bad movies makes it feel me more frustrating

Cute school love story for a quick watch

●I came across this cute webseries when I wanted to watch something light. And as soon as I saw its starring Third Kamikaze I immediately clicked to watch him, as I have been his fan when I watched the song Love Warning. I binged this 4episode drama.

●Story
its a story where a girl tries to give a love potion to her crush, so that her confession is accepted. but the potion is taken by someone else and that potion is not love potion and strange thing happens.

●Plot views
Its a very cute school story, which tests the love and friendship between the leads. The story also deals with the honesty which eventually shows them the right way and tells that we should not believe in thing like potion to have an honest love.
The use of spells to gain love was fun, but at the same time felt Dark magic too.

●Acting
Everyone played their part very well.
I loved Kamikaze as RAIN. He was smart and quick wit, he didn’t strech out his doubts and cleared it quickly.
Marc as OB OON was pretty good. His duelity was well portrayed.
Isabelle as TICHA was really nice. I could see the two character distinctively.

●Music
Opening/ending song was very lively and makes one want to shake a leg.

●Rewatch
It very sweet and with less episodes its definitely deserves a rewatch.

●Note
Do not take such steps as using magic and spells to succeed in love or anything, it can backfire.

Why so cliche ??

•Watched a video on Facebook and I really liked it to the point that I ended up searching the lakron.
•Story-synopsis says it all and for execution, you have to watch it. the negative character story and their downfall was utmost satisfying. Script was done amazingly well. The pace was nice neither fast nor slow.
•Acting- Push as Kongpop was no doubt handsome tricking the girl to fall in love with him. As this was a cliche lakron character his expressions were good and I liked overpowering and controlling behaviour, which showed his likeness towards her.
Pantila as Namneung, had a very flat facial expression. I felt like she was having a constipation the whole time. even when there was romance during the initial episodes she didn’t seemed happy. Her crying expressions were only seemed fine. I didn’t get if she is happy, sad, strong, or bratty during the scenes.
Supporting character Tor,Yim and tin as namneung friends did were very supportive. I liked them.
•Music- purng roo hua jai tua by Tono & Dust was just ok
•Rewatch- no, as I already know the story and I don’t get any urge to its story.
Recommendation- if you like characters hating each other to falling in love you can watch it. Also, Push Putthichai is good as a rude, angry man character

●NOTE- I don’t support rape in a marriage. Yes I liked the drama but that cliche part of drama I am extremely against it. Just to show your love you don’t have to force someone to sleep with you. You could have showered her with love and respect from your family instead of crushing her and her family with your selfish love.

Watched ep 14-18 raw

●FIRST IMPRESSION
As a lakron watcher, the synopsis seemed very interesting, but it was a bad experience. It was Frustratingly crazy and I was crazier to even watch this. You know there is something crazy about lakrons that you don’t like but still want to watch it, it is exactly that stupid lakron.

●NOTE
I watched episodes 14 to 18 raw. because the subtitles aren't available. but as a lakron watcher for a year I was able to fully understand it. the typical lakrons have almost the same scenes and dialogues. Its a great feeling, I realized that my THAI learning has improved.

●PLOT VIEW
It's a typical lakron but yeah there is no slap/kiss thank god because that sucks. It has FL who gets involved in SML marriage and he thinks that FL has feelings for him. Whereas SFL still has not forgotten her ex that is the ML. That's what pendulum characters are, all the four leads keep going back and forth. They are engaged to one but keep on clinging to the other. SML and SFL say that they don’t receive love, but in actuality, they are not giving their full faith in the relationship.
The description of a one-night stand is written so vividly in the synopsis because it's actually a topic of great discussion. It has significance, involves all the main characters, and is very unpredictable that what actually happened that night.
fairly writing What kind of intoxication did the writer use while writing this. This was so frustrating and crazy. Everyone was hell-bent on making the wrong decision. Even though the whole truth is laid on the plate in front of them but still they chew on the lies crying as if they are sacrificing for their country. And No one tries to correct it, is more annoying.
The only good thing about this series (or any other lakron) that made me finish this was the ending. All the evil characters are punished, it feels so satisfying.

●ACTING/CAST
Pinkploy as FL has improved a lot since her previous drama. She seemed natural but she was low confident and doesn't stood for herself. She accepts all favors from people without thinking and has no stand on how people try to use her and claim their ownership over her until the end. Very saddening.
Euro as ML is handsome. His goodness was shown from the beginning but after analyzation he was a jerk, he tricks FL each time. i watched him for the first time and he is good.
Chayut and Maneesuda were the characters getting on my nerves like hell, they had no loyalty, even a dog does better than them. But they did well as actors.
Sirin, FL's sister was dirty but went on to be a good person actually feels good.
The most deserved appreciation for this drama is LUK PRUN. He just melts the hearts with his smile. Even though he is small he did things more wisely than elders.

●MUSIC
The ending track was nice, otherwise, I don’t remember any tracks playing in the scenes.

●REWATCH
I would be insane to watch this again. It was annoying at the first time itself, wont is able to take this stupidity ever again.

●FAV SCENE
Luk Prun runs away from baddies in the first episode.
Sports day at his school with Chon and Kasa .

●RECOMMENDATION
If anyone wants to watch this series, they could just skip to episode 14/ also fast forward is good. It wont give you headache.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
One should not consume alcohol to the level that you don’t remember what you did.
Women should fight for their dignity not for men. What does a physical fight actually prove? It displays their low self-esteem and the upbringing they had as we all know “Actions speaks louder than words”
In this drama, all the women can be seen fighting for a man. And all those men are jerks.
Lastly, the parents use their kids as a business bargain. This is a very wrong way of parenting. IMO all these leads grew to be jerks because of a lack of love in parenting.

Death is a sensitive topic done carefully

●“Sunrise is pretty but sunsets are prettier” I read this quote somewhere, where I had a debate about life and death. Sunrise represents life and hope to start fresh. Whereas Sunsets represent Death, where life fades away in the darkness. After living life to the fullest in the day making beautiful memories, when sunsets and all those beautiful memories shine bright with the dusky hue of the sun, making death peaceful.

●I cry easily, not just to my pain but seeing others in pain too so I knew I signed up for a melancholic drama but it would be these tears of happiness and satisfaction I didn’t expect that I would use my whole box of tissue.
The melancholic death was sad but the drama with the help of team Genie put beautiful colors and send people with a smile.

●The pain, misery, suffering, and fear of losing someone we love, this K Drama series reminds us all of the fragility of life. The drama felt episodic as every patient's wish was granted in 1 or 2 episodes. But it also helped in healing the sufferings of others, who are relatives, hospital staff, team GENIE or strangers who became part of the wishes. I loved the healing storyline overall., where ML is the core, he is broken and while fulfilling all the wishes, gets healed himself slowly.

●ML, Yoon Gyeo Rye Played by Ji Chang Wook portraying an ex-convict, abused in childhood, lonely as an adult, no ambitions left, is heartbreaking. On Skin, he has tattoos, ready to physically fight, but inside he is all broken, that mental health contrast is shown superbly. His eyes just penetrate the heart, the sparkles when he cries, his cheeky curiosity, his genuine feelings were brilliant. Though I didn’t like the wardrobe, it determines he was trying to live while wearing vibrant colors. JCW can show the simpler and down-to-earth character with ease
Seo Yeon Joo played by Choi Soo Young is showing toughness outside by lifting weights, has a warm heart, and becomes ML healing genie. CSY looks innocent and tough at the same time. That nurse outfit looked adorable and I felt happy seeing her trying hard to ease out others pain.
Kang Tae Shik played by Sung Dong Il is one of my favorite senior actors. Whenever he plays positive characters I just love it, because in negative characters he is very scary.

●OST’s are healing and soft.
Part 1 “Loner” by Kim Sung Kyu is soft vibed and the lyrics are healing.
Part 5 “Halo” by Park Jinjoo is upbeat and has a warm touch of morning sunshine.
Part 9 “You and me” by TAEYEON has a soft heartwarming vibe just like when two lovers hold hands in winter.

●I would rewatch this when I would like to shed some tears.

●If you want like healing, heartwarming dramas, watch If You Wish Upon Me
If you don’t like sad and tearful dramas or want some amazing avoid this. Because it is a sad drama and has an average story.

●My favorite scene is Yoon Gyo Rye with Sonny at the beach in the first episode. It was a sad scene but it was aesthetic.

●If You Wish Upon Me is pleasant and sentimental; whether its emotions are manufactured or sincere will be in the eye of the beholder.

Lighthearted TYPICAL KDRAMA but still feels refreshing

●FIRST IMPRESSION
As the title says BUSINESS PROPOSAL, I thought of possible Kdrama cliché I.e. contract relationship, accidental kiss, childhood trauma, boss-employee relationship, the secondary couple are leads friends and all my expectations of cliché Kdrama rom-com are fulfilled. Despite that BUSINESS PROPOSAL is heartwarming as hell.

●PLOT VIEW
My concept of love is that there is never love at first sight, it is just attraction of the outer beauty. For love to be true, it always progresses slowly, They embrace each other flaws and appreciate the charms. when the two people are destined together with each encounter loves turns into slow burn passion. Shin Ha-Ri and Kim Tae-Mu had a chance encounter but as they come to know each other they romantically fall for each other.
As the title says BUSINESS PROPOSAL, the contract relationship seemed basic for the plot development. SHR has a secret and KTM is a workaholic signing them into a contact relationship making them meet and greet and also giving out cheesy office romance. For a few episodes, KTM is seen as tsundere but ends up being warm and soft to contrast SHR's lively personality. KTM fulfilling his filial duties by getting married as his grandfather wished, he didn’t want to lose the person he likes is the most charming shows his guts and persistence as a man.

Cha Sung-Hoon and Jin Young-Seo made a pretty good secondary couple without overlapping or creating confusion in the leads' love story. They were great supporting friends.
The series is fast-paced to unveil its story in 12 episodes. despite its compact episodes, it had few unnecessary plot fillers of office people and others. The drama is lighthearted without losing its theme, and gives unexpected twists and turns in the love story of the leads.

●ACTING/CAST
Let me talk about my favorite first,
Ahn Hyo Seop as KTM, his young and slender body with sleek hairstyle was a typical Kdrama CEO character. AHS outshined his annoying expression with cold eyes. He had a playful and unpredictable personality. This is the 2nd drama of AHY I completed, in the initial episodes I didn’t recognize him, he looked super different and that makes him an amazing actor, playing a character that gives a different visual.
Kim Se Jeong as Shin Ha Ri watched her for the first time. She was a strong-willed, amazing friend. Her portrayal of Shin Geum-Hi was amusing.
The grandfather of KTM is like a big teddy bear I wanna hug. being a typical Kdrama lover he made a lasting impression.

●MUSIC
The theme music for KTM is my favorite. His gleaming eyes and fossil bird flying to the music are so apt.
Though I enjoyed the OSTs they aren't memorable as they are not played much. Unlike the other Kdrama where an OST is repeatedly played until one gets bored.

●REWATCH
I would rewatch the drama as the story is also lighthearted and the lead pair did an amazing job.

●APPRECIATION
No love triangle.
No annoying Ex.

●FAV SCENE
The lead's first blind date. (Ep 1)

●RECOMMENDATION
If you like cheesy romance, typical Kdrama with rich ML, and poor FL troup, you should watch this drama.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Love comes in unexpected ways!!! all we need to do is persist but never pressure. If the person is meant for you they will see the love and loyalty in your persistence. If not they will feel persistence as pressure hindering their daily lifestyle.
