I really enjoyed this series. The cast is simply adorable. I have loved Title ever since TharnType 2 and Saur since You're My Sky. While I didn't really recognize he rest of the cast, they did a fantastic job in conveying their emotions and rounding out the characters. The storyline was definitely unique and interesting, and the screen writers did a great job keeping things moving in a timely manner. The music was okay, but maybe a little old fashioned for me personally. I really enjoyed the scenery and all the different parts of Thailand they helped us explore. While the makeup did get a little heavy handed a few times, it wasn't so overly done that it took away from anything. All in all, well done.

We are 6 episodes in and I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up crying at the end of this one. Jang Ki-Yong is absolutely adorable and I can’t even with that smile. As a woman attracted to younger Asian men, I always appreciate when the older woman is pursued by the younger man in my dramas, and Song Hye-Kyo is both guarded and beautiful in her role. I’ve already teared up several times due to the storyline, so I’m preparing myself with a supply of Kleenex for the final episodes. *Side note, best wishes and safe travels to Jang Ki-Yong during this time as he completes his military service. I hope to see him return to film quickly.*

So Much Potential

First let's discuss what was good about this series. 1) Meen. That's it, there is no number two. This series had a lot of potential and teased us with so many things it flat failed to deliver on. Don't go looking for a second couple unless you count Ai's dad's (played by real married couple Porsche and Arm). None of the other matches we were teased with went anywhere at all. The drama with Ai's birth mother also completely fizzled out. Ping, bless his heart, he tried. He's so cute, but where Meen proved he can easily kiss boys with passion in his role in LBC2, poor Ping just isn't there yet. The storyline was flat and moved in and out of relationship angst without ever actually giving a sense of resolve to any of the issues. If you are just looking for a series to throw on while you play games on your phone, I can recommend this one. At least you still get to see all the pretty boys. However, if you are looking for something to really pull you in, don't expect it to be this one.

Well, Mean wanted it and got it. Congratulations on his main role in a non BL. With that being said, it's a shame because we can clearly see that all the big money is spent on BL series in Thailand. Non BL tend to come across as a bit cheesey and not as well written. On top of that, the OST, scenery, and directing always seem to be a step below even bad BLs (looking at you That's My Candy). With that being said, Peak and Mean did a good job with what they were given. The story is entertaining enough to keep watching and those two really are adorable actors. Also, on a positive note, unlike with BLs, our female roles are more rounded out characters who contribute more than just the comic relief or evil obsessed girl who won't let go. All in all this isn't a bad series of you have some extra time on your hands.

I really don't know how I feel about this series. It's obviously an older series but it popped up on iQiyi as Recently added so I figured I would give it a shot. The 1st thing I will say is that if you are expecting this to be a continuation of I Am Your King season one, it's not. Actually other than the fact that they both play the king game in the series, there is nothing relating the two seasons. It's different characters, a different storyline, different actors; there is absolutely no relation between season 1 and season 2. I don't feel like the acting was bad necessarily, it was really more of a screen writer issue I think. There were too many little plot twist that, while I did keep you guessing, didn't flow together smoothly. The most disappointing thing for me, however, was the ending. There was a lot of build-up and then I just felt robbed of a truly satisfactory wrap up to it all.

Obviously the best bl series come from Thailand however Korea is really stepping up their game with bl's like Our Dating Sim. Similar to Semantic Error this series revolves around the design of an online game. However, the love story is entirely different and unique. I went through several different emotions over the course of the eight short episodes including a few tears. I was very thankful that these actors were not afraid to actually get in a real kiss, as too often we see our guys clam up and deliver passionless romantic scenes. Very happy with this one overall.

The story is both cute and extremely relatable. I think everyone has felt the urge to give up on love at some point in their life. And often times it's when we have given up that someone comes into our life and turns it upside down. The music was good, not truly anything memorable, but kept with the timing of the series. The cast was adorable, and while they are decent actors, my complaint is always when you can tell the bl actors are straight. Kissing scenes are always going to be your give away, and most of the time straight actors simply can't do a convincing kissing/intimate in Korean and Thai bls. Still, overall the story and acting were good and i would even consider this one rewatchable.

The synopsis of this movie seemed interesting so I decided to add it to my watch list. It took me a while to finally sit down and watch it, but during a Park Seo-joon binge, I decided it was time. The concept of this movie is truly unique and not the same plot that's been done over and over again. Both Park Seo-joon and Lee Dong-wook make appearances so you can already appreciate the beauty and talent of the cast. I understand why the writers left the ending the way they did, however, as a viewer I was hoping for something a bit different (such as a solution to the problem). That's not to say that the ending takes away from the movie, it's just a personal preference. I didn't really laugh too much, but I did she a few tears. Overall it's a decent film and worth a watch.

This is probably one of my favorite Korean dramas that has come out to date. A narcissist on the surface, the prince of our story is so much more than he appears to be, and it's just waiting for his princess to guide him out of the darkness into the light. True, the mixed storyline does get to be a tiny bit much at times, but everything else works together so well I don't even care. The visuals are stunning, the cast chemistry is on fire, the music is classy and elegant, and the climax after the build up does not let us down. I have watched this series multiple times, and I'm sure I'll watch it again at some point.

While I love It and Pai, my favorite character is Fiat's role of Pure. While he is FAR from what we might consider "pure", his heart is in the right place when it comes to his friends. Constantly plotting and playing Cupid, he's aware of everyone's love needs but his own. This drama was difficult for me to find at first, due to the English name not being part of the title or credits. However, once I find it, I watched it multiple times. There is an enemies to lovers aspect that is always fun, an interesting love triangle, and overcoming real world issues; the combination of these elements really make for a wonderful series. There is a little overacting that happens in some places, but not enough to take away from the story. The setting is the typical university seeing we've seen done a thousand times, but it's still really enjoyable.
