I'm not yet done and while I appreciate many aspects, the current season hasn't captured my excitement like Season 1 did. Some characters just feel off to me. Idk if it's the casting or the acting. Nonetheless, maybe it will pick up or it will get better so I'll keep watching.
Initially, I wasn't attracted to BJT and I find it hard to start his dramas despite the good plot, but this one's exceptional. He's really glowing and his chemistry with ZRN is *chef's kiss*
To add, it didn't bother me that he's the SY and not Victor Ma (as much as I love Victor from HL but i just didn't think that he's suitable as SY for TFF)
Above all, i really enjoyed this as much as WLGYT (the top k-drama these days) Both dramas managed to portray a realistic view of life, how important it is to have someone who can love you, protect you, and support you by all means. Not to mention, it was focused on the perspective (experiences, struggles, etc.) of the FLs
Now I'm not sure if I should continue. I'm on ep 3 and it's just ok for me, the cinematography and production…
Please continue it, while it might be a little boring with some of the episodes but trust me, everything that happened, there's always a reason. I'm someone who's picky and often drop dramas/series when it's no longer interesting but this one is different.
Also, to answer some of the replies here saying that it became boring because of the kids or when the older ver. of the parents were introduced, i mean isn't the whole point? The drama skillfully portrays the essence of a family and their next generation specifically how it was able to showcase the resilience of families in the face of adversity and the power of love to overcome the challenges in life.
I'm not usually into slice-of-life dramas, but this one captivated me with its thoughtful portrayal of love and relationships.
To be more specific, the way it managed to capture the essence of unconditional love whether it is towards your partner, your parents, your child/ren, your friend(s), etc. and how significant the people that surround us (that we managed to live because of our loved ones.)
Moreover, the emotional ups and downs were intense that it broke my heart into pieces.
This series made me realize to cherish more not only my parents and my friends but every person who comes into my life.
Dropped it but not because it wasn't good (to be honest, i love almost everything from their chemistry, visuals, acting, etc.) but i think it was just ordinary or plain for my liking. The pacing is also slow but fast at the same time. Slow in a sense that if you watch it, there wasn't much of a build-up so it felt monotonous but fast in a sense that they already fell in love with only just few episodes. So much sweetness here and there (which isn't bad btw) and then both ML and FL are green flag. In short, it's like a slice-of-life and fluffy romance so if you guys want to watch something that is light and just full of love, this might be for you.
Hello, i was able to read the full version of it from wattpad itself (not translated tho and i'm filo btw) and that was way way back. I'm not sure if the story is still available or can be read for free + can be translated to english or other languages from the app./website. I'm so sorry 🥲
Since I forgot the details of the book/novel, I decided not to re-read it so I could approach the drama/series with a fresh perspective. Notably, the director mentioned that they wouldn't deviate from the original story, so I'll refrain from questioning the plot plus, i believe that everything happened for a reason (Kudos to Ms. Lara, the author of AMNSE.) Lastly, i'm going to be completely honest and won't beat around the bush.
Here are my thoughts on the series from episodes 1 to 5:
GOOD POINTS: 1. This is, by far, the best adaptation from the Filo-Wattpad series. 2. The cast is excellent, with appealing actors and actresses who bring the characters to life. I'm impressed that many of them are new to the industry (some familiar faces here and there especially the influencers), and few like Ashtine (Jay-jay) really stood out. 3. The soundtrack, particularly the intro song, is nostalgic and again, addictive. Growing up, it's like one of the most popular songs, often played during morning exercise routines at school or in a dance routine. 4. The bond of the cast, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes, is undeniable.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: 1. Some cast members, especially Andres (Kiefer) - since he's the male lead, need to work on delivering their lines and expressing themselves more naturally. While there were standout moments, there's still a bit of an awkwardness that detracts from their overall performance. 2. Certain scenes feel stale or dry, which can make the viewing experience uninteresting at some time(s).
Nonetheless, I believe this drama is worth it because it successfully caught my attention, much like how it did for the international viewers.
Please support them by watching it legally on the viva one (app).
Ep. 2 and 3 made me realize that there are more talented participants that we should look out for aside from the popular and talented ones that we already knew.
TEAM RHYTHM GIVE ME THAT: Definitely had the best teamwork, most balanced, and most talented participants. I know that JL was the center and for me, he's always been the MVP but i think Juwon really deserved the title. Don't get me wrong. While JL excels objectively and technically, his predictability diminishes the surprise factor (because he already made it from the get-go, like he already exceeded my, our expectations). Hence, he's already perfect as he is - from singing, dancing, and even up to his facial expressions. It feels like there's little to no room for improvement anymore. More like, this show is made for him and his future members. Then I also want to give this to Shuaibo and Sirin. Shuaibo consistently embodied his charismatic persona, notably with the rose gesture. Likewise, Sirin (whom I didn't even know from the start) also impressed me with his outstanding performance. As for Daisuke and Steven, pretty much okay but not the best. I guess for Daisuke, it's because he wasn't suitable for this song to begin with. He did well with his parts though. Unfortunately, it's the opposite for Steven. He was the most suitable for the song but it's quite disappointing how he appeared to be nervous, like quite stiff on his facial expressions however, vocal and dance-wise, he also did great. Lastly, the most unfortunate one who is Royce. His limited lines and screen time made it impossible for him to be noticed and for that, i felt bad for him. Nonetheless, they deserved to get that first place.
BAGGY JEANS: Such a letdown. I don't think i need to explain further. The numerous shortcomings in this performance made its ranking inexplicable, like i don't even think that they deserve it (sorry not sorry). Still, job well done to the leader for directing the team.
TEAM BEAT BOYS NEVER DIE: The producer or El Capitxn's decision to choose 'Girls Never Die' was wrong to begin with, considering the predominantly female fan base and of course, how it empowers women. It's a song that has a special place in our hearts so, that was already a huge minus from the get-go which is not even their fault and that sucks but yeah, overall, only Woongki and Jiangfan stood out to me. Also, can we like all agree that Jihun needs to get out of the show? Don't come at me with the evil editing stuff because i didn't see it that way. He's DRAGGING the team, he dragged the team. If he has no conscience after this and continues to display the same attitude, please just get out.
HARD CARRY (BENCH): Deserve to be first place imo. They did few mistakes but to be honest, it's hard to pull this song however, i was surprised with how impactful their performance was. Hanseo, Kairi, and Yuito carried this team.
TEAM GROOVE MISSING YOU: Another song that's hard to pull off. Imagine trying to make the vocals and choreo. work? and they did it. Indeed, one of my favorite performances but i guess it's just that few members made mistakes especially Kyungho (?) but yes, Park Han, Joohyoung, and Zen Zen’s vocals devoured.
SECOND CONFESSION: While deserving of first place, the performance lacked distinctive elements, like I couldn't seem to find trainees who had an impression. Still, they did great as a whole and overall, enjoyed their performance.
P.S. WILL EDIT THIS REVIEW AS SOON AS I FIND TIME. AS FOR NOW, I HAD TO SLEEP.
Here's my two cents: (1) So far, it's one of the best dramas that is currently ongoing. Unfortunately, it's just not well-promoted but i feel like with its peculiarity and storyline, it might blow up. I see some edits already on TikTok. (2) Both episodes were able to deliver the plot and catch my attention in the best possible way. A nuanced blend of comedy and dark theme/s creates a captivating contrast. (3) I love how it managed to cover up real issues, it's a drama that is very timely. To be more specific, from episode one where the bullies tried to use deepfake (iykyk) (4) The whole family is just crazy and i love it sm. Just a warning, it has a lot of violent scenes so, if you're not used to it, i don't recommend.
After watching the latest episode, here's my two cents: (1) The 2ML is somehow necessary but just not interesting and challenging. He didn't feel like a main character rather a supporting character, like a filler. Also, I just don't find him suitable at all for the FL. I mean visually, he's just like one of her students or a brother and it's just weird/strange at its finest. Plus the fact that his real age is only 24 years old compared to the leads who are in their 40s already. Moreover, I feel like he's getting so much screentime that it overshadows the main couple's chemistry (and worse, we're not even close to the chemistry of the ML and FL yet) (2) I already expected the friend of the FL to betray her at some point but what irked me was even at the present, she's a wench who will and will always ruin her friends' happiness, oh wait, is she even a friend to begin with? (3) I think that the adult storyline lacks progression. It is hindered by insufficient character development and chemistry. Their constant bickering, while indeed the comical aspect of the drama, stalls narrative growth (although again, i've said it before that it's the point of the drama but it would've been better if it's balanced) (4) From the latest episode, we learned that the FL's character transformation underscores the devastating impact of losing one's purpose or the will to live. When she's still young, she lost almost everything which led to her current self being dreary, flat, and hence, unlikeable to the majority. It's as if she's just surviving and not living anymore. (5) I enjoy how the scenarios engage or involve the students, suggesting that they (the adults) were once students as well. It's like they (the FL and ML) could see themselves in them. (6) Their teenage version seemed to be the whole plot for me, like i was surprised with the ending of the latest episode. It's giving the WTPR, where the ML acts as if he doesn't care or he didn't care but the truth is, he's always been there for her.
I'm loving this so far, even though i'm already fed up with romcom. dramas. Believe me, i'm super picky, but this caught my attention along with WTPR. I know we still have a long way to go for the adults because they've just met (as adults) so there isn't much of a chemistry yet but we'll get there. On the other hand, I hope they (producers, directors, or whoever is behind this drama) won't quickly end the younger version of the main leads because they're actually the reason why I got invested. They're so compatible with each other and their expressions always get me. For side context, I'm familiar with Minki because i've seen him in a couple of videos from a YouTube channel (iykyk) and his previous drama which was "Night Has Come" Glad that he pursued acting because he's doing great. Likewise, Yeju embodied her character or her role to the point that I could see her as 'that' in real life. Not to mention, the way she smiles gives me butterflies.
For the storyline, it felt like unboxing a gift. Things are starting to unfold, which as a viewer excites me because we get to see their past which led to what and who they are right now (the present).
Also, i'm seeing comments about the adult versions of the main leads, why they're still childish or still bickering for their age. Are we forgetting about the title? I mean, isn't the whole point of the drama? Still, I also somewhat agree that it shouldn't center on that idea alone despite it being the comical aspect of the show. It should just be enough until we get to see their mature sides, of how they're going to grow fond of each other again and resolve their issues because in the end, it's what we're rooting for the most.
Lastly, the outfits of the FL? I don't see anything wrong with it. She's a P.E. teacher after all but if you managed to finish both episodes, there's a bigger issue which is from their families and that's the answer to it.
Watching the previous series such as "Judge from Hell" and "Mr. Plankton" definitely raised my standards again for k-dramas thus, making it difficult for me to find another one. However, this drama surpassed my expectations.
With only two episodes, it won me over. Initially, I didn't have plans on watching it because I'm not a fan of both the actor and actress. I'm only familiar w/ them because I have watched few of their dramas or movies before but wow, who would've thought?
I literally screamed, giggled, and kicked my feet. Like Mr. Plankton, the amount of tension and chemistry (of the leads) drawn me in. It is something to die for and most especially, i did not expect it at all.
Not to mention, the accuracy of the characters (I've heard that it was a web novel? although i'm not familiar with it) but one thing's for sure, the actors definitely embodied their roles. Above all, the storyline and the amount of plot twists? Couldn't say more. Well, I already knew about Hui Ju's secret but the ending of episode 2 wherein it was revealed that Hui Ju will be marrying a man (an asshole btw) of another company (?) which became one of the reasons why the brides were switched.
I think i need a little push with this one. Based from the ratings that i've seen, it's good so far which is why I already started it. However, I couldn't seem to get myself attached to it? I'm at ep. 4 btw. Can anyone spoil me the overall progress of this drama? Thank you.
P.S. First impression really matters to me and the episodes that i've watched didn't seem to impress me much so i'm asking this so i could see the whole picture of it (of course aside from the obvious ones)
Don't get me wrong, i'm a fan of Linyi and Shenyue. I was able to watch their previous works such as PYHOMS, Derailment, ELS for Linyi and ALSB, Meteor Garden, UFMT, and Mr. Bad for Shenyue.
Some people here might have questioned Hae Jo's decision and found him annoying for ruining Jae Mi's life, specifically her supposedly wedding, but honestly, i would do the same. It's not that what HJ did is right but he felt that there's still hope.
In my opinion, this is what i've seen throughout their journey together. In HJ's pov, it's the "I don't want to lose you but i'm scared you might lose yourself because of me (due to his standing and his condition)" but in JM's pov, "I already started to lose myself the moment I lost you (when they broke up)"
Despite their desire to be together, the anguish that they felt parting their ways is beyond words and it's even painful when you know that they also grew up having no one else beside them.
Just finished the drama in one sitting and let me tell you, i cried a river. Definitely a masterpiece. These three (JM, HJ, and even EH) deserve the whole world and i wish i can hug them like for real. The way this drama was able to capture the essence of life while not forgetting it to be humourous and romantic drawn me in. It's like a mix of romcom, tragedy, and slice of life.
Indeed the truth about life is to seize the moment and cherish the people around you because at the end, no matter what your status is, when the time comes, you just have to face it and can't go back.
And in terms of JM and JH, in another universe, i hope they're together and happy like one big family.
Wow, I had no expectations with this drama. In fact, it wasn't even on my watchlist. Not until I stumbled with it because I couldn't find other dramas to entertain me, and hence, I decided to try it.
I'm at episode 2 and so far, i'm enjoying it. It was honestly not the storyline that i'm looking for based on the title alone but i'm hooked. What even impressed me more was the acting of both ML and FL. Take note, I'm not even a fan of either though I was able to watch Strong Girl Namsoon and All Of Us Are Dead starring LYM in it whereas Save Me for WDW. But really, i'm very pleased.
With regards to the plot, i'm already aware of the possibilities with the ending. I mean are we not supposed or expected to? They have already given it in the first episode. Still, I hope it's a justified ending, not rushed nor impossible.
Okay, i'm seeing a lot of negative comments and bad ratings with this drama and i couldn't agree more. Don't come at me with "There's only 2 episodes" and? I think it's really important for viewers to have a good first impression of the show because it revolves majority of their decision whether to continue the drama or not anymore. Personally, I enjoy romcom dramas and KSJ's previous work which was Business Proposal is one of my favorites. I also quite enjoyed Today's Webtoon, a decent watch i believe.
However, with this one, i just couldn't grasp the whole drama. I don't know if it's because it started too hasty? or the amount of exaggeration? or the lack of depth towards the characters and the story? Overall, it just feels like a web drama to me, even the beginning of episode 1 didn't feel like an introduction but rather climax (?)
If you're bored and got nothing to watch, this is something you can try, at least to kill your time and entertain yourself.
P.S. I'm a fan of KSJ and LJW. I've seen their previous works which is why i'm disappointed with this because i kinda expected knowing both are good in acting, especially KSJ.
Someone said here in the comsec. that this is good for a one-time watch and i couldn't agree more. I've always been picky with dramas but this is something that i was able to finish like at least, 'cause i tend to stop watching dramas that weren't nice from the get-go but this was different. Of course, there were imperfections but this is a fantasy drama after all. I wouldn't simply criticize the smallest details or the little things that somehow bothered me. Nonetheless, a recommendable drama though I wish this was on Netflix because it could've reached a lot of viewers.
My sister and I tried watching this today. Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish it because everything just felt lacking. Don't get me wrong, i'm pretty familiar with Win and Janella. I've seen most of their works and they're both good in acting and well-known towards their respective industry/industries. I'm just disappointed because I had huge expectations with this.
Plot-wise? Common but decent enough. Acting? Not really. Chemistry? Had a potential.
I'm not sure if it's because of how they delivered their lines but sadly, their emotions just didn't reach to us. In some parts, it felt stiff and unnatural (Just to clarify, i know that there would be difficulties in terms of their communication and the languages they've used but i appreciate their effort/s)
Not to mention, i didn't like how they visually portrayed Janella's character specifically her makeup. I understand that she had an illness (based on the comsec. here) but it just could've been better.
Overall, props to them for trying. It was so nice to see Win taking international projects so as Janella.

To add, it didn't bother me that he's the SY and not Victor Ma (as much as I love Victor from HL but i just didn't think that he's suitable as SY for TFF)
Above all, i really enjoyed this as much as WLGYT (the top k-drama these days) Both dramas managed to portray a realistic view of life, how important it is to have someone who can love you, protect you, and support you by all means. Not to mention, it was focused on the perspective (experiences, struggles, etc.) of the FLs
Also, to answer some of the replies here saying that it became boring because of the kids or when the older ver. of the parents were introduced, i mean isn't the whole point? The drama skillfully portrays the essence of a family and their next generation specifically how it was able to showcase the resilience of families in the face of adversity and the power of love to overcome the challenges in life.
To be more specific, the way it managed to capture the essence of unconditional love whether it is towards your partner, your parents, your child/ren, your friend(s), etc. and how significant the people that surround us (that we managed to live because of our loved ones.)
Moreover, the emotional ups and downs were intense that it broke my heart into pieces.
This series made me realize to cherish more not only my parents and my friends but every person who comes into my life.
Truly, WLGYT is a masterpiece.
Here are my thoughts on the series from episodes 1 to 5:
GOOD POINTS:
1. This is, by far, the best adaptation from the Filo-Wattpad series.
2. The cast is excellent, with appealing actors and actresses who bring the characters to life. I'm impressed that many of them are new to the industry (some familiar faces here and there especially the influencers), and few like Ashtine (Jay-jay) really stood out.
3. The soundtrack, particularly the intro song, is nostalgic and again, addictive. Growing up, it's like one of the most popular songs, often played during morning exercise routines at school or in a dance routine.
4. The bond of the cast, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes, is undeniable.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:
1. Some cast members, especially Andres (Kiefer) - since he's the male lead, need to work on delivering their lines and expressing themselves more naturally. While there were standout moments, there's still a bit of an awkwardness that detracts from their overall performance.
2. Certain scenes feel stale or dry, which can make the viewing experience uninteresting at some time(s).
Nonetheless, I believe this drama is worth it because it successfully caught my attention, much like how it did for the international viewers.

TEAM RHYTHM
GIVE ME THAT: Definitely had the best teamwork, most balanced, and most talented participants. I know that JL was the center and for me, he's always been the MVP but i think Juwon really deserved the title. Don't get me wrong. While JL excels objectively and technically, his predictability diminishes the surprise factor (because he already made it from the get-go, like he already exceeded my, our expectations). Hence, he's already perfect as he is - from singing, dancing, and even up to his facial expressions. It feels like there's little to no room for improvement anymore. More like, this show is made for him and his future members. Then I also want to give this to Shuaibo and Sirin. Shuaibo consistently embodied his charismatic persona, notably with the rose gesture. Likewise, Sirin (whom I didn't even know from the start) also impressed me with his outstanding performance. As for Daisuke and Steven, pretty much okay but not the best. I guess for Daisuke, it's because he wasn't suitable for this song to begin with. He did well with his parts though. Unfortunately, it's the opposite for Steven. He was the most suitable for the song but it's quite disappointing how he appeared to be nervous, like quite stiff on his facial expressions however, vocal and dance-wise, he also did great. Lastly, the most unfortunate one who is Royce. His limited lines and screen time made it impossible for him to be noticed and for that, i felt bad for him. Nonetheless, they deserved to get that first place.
BAGGY JEANS: Such a letdown. I don't think i need to explain further. The numerous shortcomings in this performance made its ranking inexplicable, like i don't even think that they deserve it (sorry not sorry). Still, job well done to the leader for directing the team.
TEAM BEAT
BOYS NEVER DIE: The producer or El Capitxn's decision to choose 'Girls Never Die' was wrong to begin with, considering the predominantly female fan base and of course, how it empowers women. It's a song that has a special place in our hearts so, that was already a huge minus from the get-go which is not even their fault and that sucks but yeah, overall, only Woongki and Jiangfan stood out to me. Also, can we like all agree that Jihun needs to get out of the show? Don't come at me with the evil editing stuff because i didn't see it that way. He's DRAGGING the team, he dragged the team. If he has no conscience after this and continues to display the same attitude, please just get out.
HARD CARRY (BENCH): Deserve to be first place imo. They did few mistakes but to be honest, it's hard to pull this song however, i was surprised with how impactful their performance was. Hanseo, Kairi, and Yuito carried this team.
TEAM GROOVE
MISSING YOU: Another song that's hard to pull off. Imagine trying to make the vocals and choreo. work? and they did it. Indeed, one of my favorite performances but i guess it's just that few members made mistakes especially Kyungho (?) but yes, Park Han, Joohyoung, and Zen Zen’s vocals devoured.
SECOND CONFESSION: While deserving of first place, the performance lacked distinctive elements, like I couldn't seem to find trainees who had an impression. Still, they did great as a whole and overall, enjoyed their performance.

P.S. I'm a fan of KSJ and LJW. I've seen their previous works which is why i'm disappointed with this because i kinda expected knowing both are good in acting, especially KSJ.
Plot-wise? Common but decent enough. Acting? Not really. Chemistry? Had a potential.
I'm not sure if it's because of how they delivered their lines but sadly, their emotions just didn't reach to us. In some parts, it felt stiff and unnatural (Just to clarify, i know that there would be difficulties in terms of their communication and the languages they've used but i appreciate their effort/s)
Not to mention, i didn't like how they visually portrayed Janella's character specifically her makeup. I understand that she had an illness (based on the comsec. here) but it just could've been better.
Overall, props to them for trying. It was so nice to see Win taking international projects so as Janella.
