Turn Up the Heat
Ok, this is a guilty pleasure series for me. The plot is slightly lacking, but who cares? This is the hottest I have ever seen Off look in ANY series and then you throw the incredibly sexy tower of a man Dew in there as well? I don't care what the plot is, I'm in! The character that drove me the most crazy in this one was Gun's character Jira who just played with the emotions of Ko and Pheem through the majority of the series. The ending was fine, and though I don't love when ships diverge, I wouldn't have minded this ending going either way.Was this review helpful to you?
An Almost Perfect Series
I laughed, I cried, and I cried some more. This series truly took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Evan Lin is not only gorgeous looks wise, but his voice is one of the purest I've ever heard as a singer and musician myself. I related to this series on such a deep level it's really remarkable. Falling in love wasn't something I ever thought would happen for me, but it did. And when it ended I truly didn't know how to move on. So, just like the series, I didn't. I am Su Nian Qin living each day as though he's coming back. Often times I have looked this series up to watch it again, but I just can't because I don't have the strength to face my own emotions head on. Truly a beautifully done series.Was this review helpful to you?
I give it a solid Meh
I wanted to watch this one because my boyfriend was watching it and I wanted us to have a show to discuss. He loved it, I thought it was ok. I'm more into the romance side of dramas but I do find dramas I like outside of that genre from time to time. This one was fine. I didn't get bored with it while watching it, but now that it's over I really can't remember anything outstanding about it either. It's a happy medium if your a couple trying to watch together.Was this review helpful to you?

Who's that girl
Ok, first of all, can we just appreciate how even though Fan Chang Yu is a total bada$$, she's also totally a girl. She's always beautiful in whatever she has on, but I'm talking more emotionally. Once she finally discovers who Xie Zheng really is, she's all "I'm not good enough for him" and then when he finds a solution to try to make her feel better about the situation, she's all "well, if he doesn't love me for who I am". I actually laughed out loud at that scene because she reminded us of what it is to be a woman and the ridiculousness we put men through. I both loved and hated the slow burn. The just missing each other everywhere they went for 10 episodes was driving me crazy. I also have a big heart for Qi Min. I know the man is pure evil, but I think he was forced to be that way and I think if you watch to the VERY end, you will agree. My heart broke for him knowing he really did love Yu Qian Qian and she was in fact the only person he had ever been able to love. This series had me laughing and crying through all 40 episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
But did we need it?
There are a lot of series that I wish they would make a second season of. Tide of Love, however, was not one of them. The first season's entire plot can be summed up in one word: kissing. There was no plot, the acting was bad, the budget was obviously low because the sets were lacking, and the couple had no real chemistry. After completing episode 1 of season 2, I can tell you that absolutely nothing has changed. I really don't get it. Did they see Peach Lover and decide, "hey we can do that with less sex and even more kissing?" Jaehun is overbearing sporadically with no reasoning at all. And Haejun just goes with it. This is the most lackluster series I've ever seen. I will likely drop it.Was this review helpful to you?
