A heart-felt Love story during mayhem.

1st of all if you want to complain about the subtitles do it under discussion where it will be seen. The people doing subtitles are volunteering and it's not always 1 show- they could be responsible for multiple. I watch at least 3-4 shows at a time so this way subtitles are done by the time I return.
Now for the review: Make sure to have tissues and there's are time the violence is to real. This drama is absolutely outstanding and so is the chosen cast the chemistry between hee tae and myung hee is so touching and emotional. The 2nd ML-FL brother n sister also did a great job with emotions you could feel and be happy or sad with them all. This drama tells about the uprising of gwangyu may 18-27,1980 for Marshall law. Hee tae got his degree to be a doctor, but really wanted to write music with his friend until he shows up in his dorm with a girl who severely hurt during a protest demonstration (every time he see blood now it causes him anxiety) . His friend Kyung soowas sent to the military as punishment and hee tae was rescued by his father a powerful military leader who hee tae hates. In return he has to go on 3 dates with Lee soo ryu whos father owns a medical factory that needs to expand GI nam help. Hee tae agree to go on a date, but soo ryu convinces her friend Kim myung hee to take her place and she'll pay for her airplane ticket to Germany nursing. So soo ryu teaches her how to get him to reject her, but instead he wants the 2nd date(he'd too)
He tells he fell for her the moment she stopped to help at a accident and knew she wasn't Soo ryu and was just going along. With them starting to fall for each other it's messing up plans on both sides so they need to figure out there plans. Soo ryu is one of the protest leader fighting against Marshall law and is causing problems within the two families. Both fathers agreed for marriage and then sending them to seoul to live until they are given permission to return. Only problem is hee tae loves myung hee and asked her marry him she said yes the night before. She tell hee tae to marry and leave its for the best and so they marry and are out on a train asap. Once in seoul they argue and he tells her he's in love myung hee and she keeps getting involved in protest so they agree to sneak back into gwangyu. Once back Marshall law is becoming out of control government lied stating spies from NK are mixed with college students so they beat and torture them. Then once they had guns it was worse there were no questions asked just shot to kill, but not all military men wanted that. Now back to hee tae dad who is worse then even and how he beats people to get fake confession and trying to find his son, myung hee and soo ryu. He finds out hee tae and myung hee are working at the hosp. and hee tae leaves with dr.song to get supplies but is ambushed in an accident and disappeares. After a few days they find out he alive and abducted by his father and a prisoners in his own house. His little brother and stepmom free him and father is pissed, but at hosp hee tae surprised myung hee and they go to church to hide and leave next day.
Now the unexpected as her father is killed trying to protect her brother myung soo and in the meantime hee tae father orders to kill her, her brother and hee tae but his younger bro Jung tae. hears it. She gets a note telling her to meet hee tae and as she walking past a quard he takes out his gun to shoot when Jung tae jumps him. At home they realize Jung tae is missing and drive to church. Next she turns around to see Jung tae shot and she try to stop bleeding when hee tae, father and mother show up. They take him to hosp and has surgery and will be ok, so they return to the church and told myung soo is missing he took a map and trying to go home. They go to look in different directions and myung hee finds him, but there is military looking for anyone. She finds him and tells him to run as she stands up, but one guy aims to shoot him, but she jumps in front and Kyung soo runs after the boy and tells him to run fast and shot in the air. On his way back he see her shot and finds her vows and a watch sticks them in her hand and walks away now we see hee tae on his knee trying to tell them he from gwangju they don't believe and about to kill him when a friend from military takes him away for Interigation. Next we see them in May 2021 41 years later. You have to watch for ending..

A must watch.. A beautiful love story

A must watch please dont give up because you feel it creapy. You need to look at it from the story it tell and wish we all got that last few days. This was such a beautiful drama that said so much within 8 episodes as we felt and watched their friendship blossomed to love.
I believed that Koichi and Mitsuri needed to complete their love for each other and be eaches #1. It was a surprise at the end when his dad went thru the same thing sort of wish he told him before. The cast did a great job also kudos to the writers

Not your typical high school BL.. This is life

I loved how they combined the cast and languages of korean and thai what a great concept would love to see more of this. I personally didnt notice the accent changes unless i was paying attention to it i think they blended well. Also have some tissues there are a few emotional parts. What a great storyline about 2 boys Peach who's family own a restaurant in Thailand and Yun oh who family owns a resort and mom is a doctor so while visiting from korea he and peach meet for the first time. They keep in touch over the year and peach decided to come to korea and yun oh was excited especially since he got his mom text "he should never of been born".he was sad. She was always angry with yun oh since he looked like the man that betrayed her so she had yun ho hoping he'd return then he died when yun oh was five so she didn't get revenge instead they would argue and she would say hurtful things and text and ontop of it grandma died and left "Happy Resort" to yun oh, but she had to sell everything and take a loan for the inheritance. Its a beautiful place that they live in until one day peach shows up and the place is closed and he see mario, but he cant find Yunho anywhere and then his mom appears and invites him in. He explains who he is and that they planned this last month. He goes to his room and he's not there (most peeople would ask when hes coming home) instead he falls asleep on the bed and wakes up to him playing guitar then they start tickle each other when his mom says "can you be quite" (why wouldn't she ask what are you doing) There are strange things happening that you don't really understand, but you do notice it and once you figure out what happened it will blow your mind at the end of ep 2. then slowly everything falls into place. We watch as peach helps yunho try to make peace with his mom and helps him complete one of his dreams to play guitar and sing on stage and to open his own coffee shop. As they start to get closer there feeling get stronger and its the beginning of a beautiful relationship and then we mario who's been around the resort for 20yrs and trying to find his lover su ho to see why she never showed up for there date. Yoon mother still doesn't believe the police and is trying to investigate and get the PD not to give up. Peach helps yoon and his mom reconcile they issues and same with mario. There is more to this story, but you need to watch it yourself as i ust finished and i needed alot of tissues. Its worth the watch. Hopefully the movie will also fill in. 1-2spots ???

A short but quirky story

I enjoy this sweet and quriky drama. It's about perfect pretty girl who everyone stared at, but was naive to it all. She was in love with her boyfriend, but he was cheating on her with her best friend who took adventage of there relationship. While he makes up a stupid reason she see her BF with her BF who is flitting with him as she see her watching. As crying on bus this guy put his hat on her and as he get off he gives her his sunglasses.
Duri opens up her own restaurant and gives tarot card reading on a special dish only. She helps those in need,while she happy. Then one day she meet her upstairs neighbor and thru misunderstanding of each other life he realizes that she has his glasses and she was the girl he was looking for and he was the guy who she saved his hat and glasses. They fall in love then the old BF and BF show up on there wedding day to apologize for what the did. All went well. A really short but worth watching drama. A filler in between

Full of adventure.. Good storyline

I truly enjoyed this drama and storyline It was full of excitement, chill, funny and sad till the end. The chemistry between the Yan qing(ML) and Ling long (FL) was like good cop- bad cop comedy they complemented each other. The rest of the cast Xuan yu & Tong ge were yan Qing 1st men of the wolf gang and You rou was in love with Yan qing and causing problems until she meets Xuan yu. Then there was Xiao jin Ling long maid/friend who started to like Tong ge and the one I loved was Dr MI ya he acted crazy then he was so funny.
It's about the ML trying to find out how his mother died 18yrs ago as she was the king of the wolf tribe. He then meets the FL who high strung and gives him many problem as she a prisoners of states for a? marriage alliance. She runs into the 4th brother who was a prisoners in her state when he was younger antjey grew up together and he was in love with her. So he and the 2nd brother were both after the same girl, but so was the 3rd who wanted the FL alter ego who was wild and crazy. The story goes on and they start to learn about an evil group and so they all investigate and when the FL alter ego comes out she the total opposite of Ling long she fights and kills if needed as she has a mission yo complete so the girls decide on a code name of crazy lady when FL needs help or answer of what she has done. Soon FL realizes that she must help the ML and soon feeling developed but she tries to keep them hidden. The ML figures out that the alter ego has the wolf tattoo on her, but disappear when Ling long comes out. They make there way back to her state chu trying to get answers why the ML mom died there. So meeting and getting to know the FL mom, he learns that Ling long has his mother wolf hesrt. Upon investigating they find out there is evil around them trying to kill them.
There is so much more to see. I hope you liked it as much as I did.

A fun and serious lessons on life being good. Vs being acriminal

Wow another great drama. The cast fits its parts: Cha tae Hyun plays Yoo Dong Man a police officer demoted to a professor at the PA for his unethical means to bring down a gambling ring. Then we have the handsome/Hot Jung jin Young plays Kang sun ho who's parents died when he was 10 raised by dad friend he was lonely and smart he started playing with a computer and became a hacker on black Net know as Joon. His stepdad/bro gets in an accident with Dong man & find out he has CA., but surgery is $7000 so he hack it from illegal gambling ring.

A. he tells him to quit, but kang sun wants to prove himself to be good. Just before being accepted Dong man finds out that the hacker Yoon who been helping him is no other than Sun ho. As things turn for the worst his partner PaWow another great drama. It does have a few spoilers but not the full effect. It's about catching a gambling ring within the police dept. and the police academy holds the ring leader. It's full of excitement, murder, intrigue mystery, romance, jeousley and funny as you think you figured it out..Bam your wrong.
I think the cast picked fits its characters: Yoo Dong Man a police officer demoted to a professor at the PA for his unethical means to bring down a gambling ring that caused his fiance death. Kang sun ho who's raised by his dad friend after their deaths. Being smart he loved playing with computers and becomes a hacker on black Net know as Joon to help people. His stepdad & brother get in a car accident with Dong man & Park choi jin and find out he has CA. The surgery is $7000 so he winds up hacking an illegal gambling ring he was looking into for bird. Not soon after his dad surgery Dong man and choi jin interrogate the 2Boys after there caught on video at the atm. The father begs them to give them a chance to make it up and live and learn and so he did unwillingly. While helping his brother Yon seung bum at a judo match he over hears Oh kang hee is going into the PA(he fell in love). Next we see Sun ho meets Dong man at the P. A. he tells him to quit, but sun ho wants to prove himself to be good. While investigating the PA Dong man has been trying to reach yoon so he has Choi jin look into. They later finds out that Yoon who been helping him is no other than Sun ho. As things turn for the worst when choi jin is drunk and call dong man and state there in the PA then hes injured. So now Bird ask Yoon for help as they begins following the clues ex: phone, bugs, finger prints, computer etc as Dong man investigate new players are being tossed in the mixed. He begins to question those around him in order to clear there involvement and makes new friends along the way. Sun ho goes to court with kang hee as her mother is being framed of running a gambling site and Sun ho sees the same Monogram used. Then back at PA sun ho computer is hacked by a blackmailer who has a copy of his arrest record. As clues are showing up about ex prof.Go an ex-cop & felon so Dong man decided to be a detective again so quit the PA, but doesn't tell anyone. So the students start to follow clues and get help from prof. Hyoek pil & Prof. Hee soo and get his attention. So they all start to work together and put the pieces of clues together in one place. They figured out where the target is, but once again someone tipped them off and it seem that every time you suspect someone your really not sure. As we get closer to the end the clues and evidence are becoming clearer and the bad guys are nervous. Knowing Dong man was tailing them he was setup and hit by a truck on drivers side needing surgery to head. Sun ho decides to continue following Dong man notes and hacks the computer of the blackmailer and then calls the police. So now the BM needs Sun ho to get him out in return he gives a keycard for a safe in the Pa that holds the ledger and money. Dong man is visited in hosp by *$&#*who gives him sun ho arrest record then warn him he could be next. I really dont want to go further as i would need to use the names or give away the great ending that I didnt even expect it. So this is the quickest version. With his friends help they find where the keycard goes, but the 2 boys get caught and put in front of committee in the meantime he breaks in, find the safe, once open the BM appears and put a gun to his head then our girl shows up and TASER his ass lol. As this is happening Dong ma leaves hosp and goes to PA to save the kids. ( During flash backs we see what actually happens) Bad guy taken to jail while sunho and dong man try to break the ledger code and upon leaving hosp sunho is arrested. then the *$&#*offers to release him for ledger things go back and forth as they finally figure out who the Prime person was and why it happened as they try to close it... Something new happens and Sun ho being a hacker comes into play at the PD and he is either suspended - expelled -or quit - jail time. What happens to Sun ho??? Stay tuned and watch the show dont fast forward in the beginning of each episodes as they are flashback and clues.. Enjoy as much as me???

A happy smile and A MUST SEE

I wasnt sure about watching this after Tharntype, but i gave it a go and they became one of my favorite couples. They are so cute together and i love how leo loves fiat good or bad and how they work thru problems together just sometime miscommunication/misunderstanding do happen in life. Leo has such a strong mature personality for his age and how he's communicates with the adults to solve the problem. This drama has touched on so many difficult topics & situations and it show that with friends and family they can conquer anything, i really love how they portrayed the parents of leo/fiat/leon being so open minded for boys and see there's true love regardless of gender.??. I'm glad fiat remember his lost memories and was able to make amends to all. I do wish leon and p'pob had more air time to develop their relationship and a maybe a reunion of them with a short spin-off including leo/fiat getting married would be fun. Just saying.
If your not sure.. You'll miss out on a great show
Update: just finished ep 10 and the scene for next week i take back the communicate ?

A mind blowing adventure thats truly worth 56 ep.

Wow talk about an exciting drama that included all A+ actors and actresses that i could feel what they felt while portraying there characters. There are many episodes that you just laught at and it broke the tension of the sad ones. As normal all the princess were spoiled and full of themselves and put down or hurt anyone that spoiled there plans. Especially Cheng shaoshang who was a thorn in everyone side due to Li Buyi/zisheng/Huo wusheng falling in love with her. Im a fan of Rosy Zhao as an actress and how well she portrayed her character. I am also a fan of Leo Wu and again another amazing actor that didn't fail in portraying his stern and powerful persona. I loved his 2 side kicks Qi and Fei who would go thru thick and thin with him and protect her at all cost. There were so many different characters and back stories to each family and the writers did an amazing job bringing it all together. A must see.

Learning, exploring and understanding the word "Like" AKA "My beautiful Man"

There are some round about spoilers that I think need to be told in order to enjoyed this drama. While reading sub/listening you have to understand Kira from his early childhood to adulthood. Some felt it was dark and cruel and dropped it after 1-2 ep. Others like me enjoyed the story of Kira and Kiyoi finding and learning to communicate their emotions Hira wasn't able to understand what "Like" ment so his parents decided to get him a camera so he could take pictures he would like. He had social Insecurities and felt he could hide and be invisible behind his camera as he studders when gets attention. Until he meets Kiyoi ? and has a strange feeling that he never had before and become interested. Kiyoi is the HOT new guy in class that has the girls weeping over him and the guys trying to be his friends. There is some bullying when they order him to get them drinks/food, but he does it for Kiyoi as he likes to be around him. It does have Kiyoi push him, call him names and kissed him, but he does so due to his Insecurities with trust, being used. (I Don't condone this in anyway but sort of get it) Again need to pay attention and read thru the lines. I wished it had 1-2 more episodes to explore there relationship more, but a good watch.

A hidden jem that you die laughing and crying from a definite "10".

You really have to watch this drama i just Binge-watch 8 episodes and want more.
There are some serious issues at hand, but at the same you cant take it too seriously. The ML is hysterical as said he's good with money, but not with language and his one liner. The FL is book smart but not street smart in anyway I'm enjoying the chemistry between her & ML especially when they start with a contagious laught you just gotta giggle. I really dispies the cousin Si hyung everything about him yells "Dirtbag" and never appreciated what his uncle did for him. Then we have the obnoxious fraud Na gong joo who is an intern(working with Si hyung) and Lied about her work back round and always degrades the FL of what she owns and wears. I like Ahn kil kang who plays the ML dad and has a stepmother & step brother just like cinderella lol. His SB convinced him to loan 2 million dollars to an art gallery like an investment. Now back to a new storyline at least for me. Its about small food store that grew to be conglomerates and an art gallery owner who meet at the airport (Netherlands). After spending a day together and weird/funny things happened they realized that he is the wrong Mr. Jin. They cant find the Art expert so he stays with her next day finds out the other guy went to the pig farm gala and had a ball so all was good. He suppose to meet her, but forgot where and see her crying and tried to catch up. He returns home and thinks hes crazy to see her everywhere. He learn the owner of the gallery died so he goes to collect his money and finds her there. The story continues of him spending more time/money to help her keep the gallery open, but there are people trying to make her sell it. TBC

A must see. The creative design is amazing

Ive been waiting for this drama for quite awhile since seeing the ad and WOW one of the Best drama of the year for me and ive seen quite alot. I was beyond amazed for 1hr the detail given about the story & characters portrayed by an unbelievable cast of top actors young or old. The details that were put toward the location, set design, graphics & outfits esp Mawang and the aura A++they didnt skimp. I won't lie some spoilers, but only in story set up details.
The storyline is about 3 gods who merged together as 1 : The god of childbirth- Sam shin, The god of balance and The god of dealth- Ma wang. After years of peace Ma wang decided he needed more blood shed so he devoured balanced and when he started to cause chaos Sam shin separated from him. Ma Wang convinced the king to accept him and for years caused alot of death/blood shee. The king realized that ma wang was getting to powerful to control so he made his son sung ju the emporer. The portrait of the king has to be painted by the devine painter Hong euh ho & Kan yoo gook while the Taoist(Ha sung jin) uses his power to put Ma wang into the picture with Sam shin help. Upon entering he curses the land with drought/famine, the descendent of the painter to not see & the taoist a dark world. Elsewhere at the same time both of there wives give birth, but cheungi mom pray to sam shin to protect her then dies. She picks up Cheun gi who's born blind & will grow up a painter and a boy Ha ran will have power to forsee and together they will conquer all. Now 9yrs later the shaman learns ha ran has the power of water & can end the drought. On the way to the palace the children meet each other thru their fathers while walking they meet a grandma who puts a butterfly ornament in his hand & says "you'll need this for tomorrow"as it appears on his neck. The next day the CP Yi kang(1st son) arrives & greets his brothers: #2-JooHyang #3-Yang myeong as #2 storms away mad he thinks he should be CP. So #3 takes him to see the king portraits you hear whisper and #2 ignors the warning and open the doors while staring he takes the candle & kicks #3 as he looks closer he sets the picture on fire & wakes mawang who jumps into his body & rejected leaving apainful scar then says where is it and leaves. As he approaches Ha ran we see the butterfly luminate and circles him, but the shaman goes against the emporers order and uses ha ram as a living sacrifice. As lightening hits hes thrown into the water at the same time cheun gi also falls in & as both are drowning Mawang enter Haran ad the butterfly awakes and mawang said "did you lure me here" and Sam shin says "Yes, I will borrow your eyes were your power is" and locks him deep inside Haran as he is powerless until his eyes are returned. Then Sam shin entrust his eyes temporarily to cheun gi and tells her she is destined to build the vessel of destiny. Then cheun gi awakes where she was born and can see, but Ha ran floated out of the water & awakes blind. The King arrested the shaman for going against his ruling as she convinces him he needs the boy. Then we hear "when you two intertwine in the future everything will find its place" The king orders Haran to enter the palace as his astronomers after his parents are killed. Now 19 Years later Eun oh still suffer memory loss after painting the king and so cheung gi paints forgeries for money. She learns that the medication is fake and has the 3 guys arrested then she meets Sam shin again who tells her she'll ride in palanquin and all will change. They get out jail and seek revenge while chasing her she jumps into Ha ran Palanquin. There ride is bumpy and she tells him his eyes are beautiful like red jaspers(i agree) but when she nears his memory shows us pieces of her. We see the butterfly turning black as he kicks her out the pain of his changing then all of a sudden "BOOM" MaWang breakouts in search for for his eyes. After this each episode gets better as it evolves with such detail and the story line start to unveil. #2 plans to accept Mawang while Ha ran is secretly planning to enact his revenge on royal family while he's protecting her. She's painting the Emporer picture in order to remove the demon from him. The next couple of episodes are #2 planning with the shaman to take over as next king after excepting mawang. She gets the portrait done so the shaman & #2 move the date up for his Acceptance and all is well until the portrait was torn apart by mawang & put back in haram. So now #2 is even crazier over this when he overheard his father say that #3 will be the CP. So they argue and king Collapsed into coma and #2 makes himself the CP and starts to threaten to kill everyone around cheung gi if she dont paint
Then suddenly the Hwacha appear stating she needs him to finalize the devine painting and she can only paint on that day she agrees. Now its time to send mawang back into the picture and at what cost.
Please Excuse spelling issue due to different subbers.
PS: I watched on Dramacool and found the graphics to be amazing especially ep 16, where someone said its un edited and so i watch and just didnt have all Ma wang/Haram/Cheung gi side effects

A mouthful is worth a wish

What a great storyline this jem is and getting better just finished episodes 6. If it stays on track i would love to see either a part2 or season 2 its so worth it. The story begins with Jung jin who had the worst luck she quit her job, boyfriend broke up, with her. She then opened a restaurant with mom started good then landlord took business and refused to give $$back. So now Jung jin has a empty restaurant and meets Jo he ran who wants to buy, but become partners and open The Witches Diner. With Jung jin as the 1st customer who gets her revenge, but not the way she wanted it. Then Lee gil yong comes into there lives with his own wish and now working part time there. Be careful for what you wish for or better yet make sure you give it in detail especially the singer i feel she got the short end of the stick yes he came back, but i thought her wish was him coming back in love. Never give up your future for someone else. The sweetest was Lee Bok nam giving up her memories in order for her son to find a wife at the age of 50 and get married. Were now seeing that this has something to do with Jin mom when she was young and it amazing what we find. Just finished and sorry it ended it just got better and better you need to watch and pay attention to all the details to understand why the person arrives at the diner. Once inside your greeted by the witch as she listens to your story she makes a once in a lifetime dinner that correspond with your wish. At first i wasnt sure either it seemed a high price to pay especially the guy who wanted a job and had to pay with 2 fingers(ouch). Once you see and understand the outcomes it seems worth it and some wishes/stories can relate or be part of others choices. What a great idea as it also touches on so many different levels and emotions that life can be ruff and harsh. It does not discriminate at any age be it bullying, adultery, robbery etc.. everything has a cause and effect. Again the cast and crew did an amazing job they picked the perfect actor/actress including the sets, designs and locations. I personally would love if they could continue with another season with a new witch and granting of new wiches. 10++++
