Not bad
Although I have watched the series more than once and a few several times, I did miss seeing them in this, especially when the music played (flute).This movie was not what I had in mind, but it did make a whole more sense, as too what had happened, however the ending was a bit of let down, I would have thought they would have shown the second brother seeking his revenge on the third brother, but that was not the case here.
Although it was enjoyable it was a bit of a let down, due to the ending just being cut short like that.

Bad Ending
The series overall was a good length – I mostly enjoyed the storyline, characters and pacing. Everything seemed to fit together well in the bigger scheme of things. Except.. The ending. I was let down, and at times the FL was a bit naïve for me, I espcially found her friend (coffee shop owner) way more interesting, and her interactions with the other two ML was a bit more fun to watch then the ML and FL.The ending. Felt like they completely ignored everything that happened and did a 180 on what viewer's wanted and expected. Awkward time jump. There were times the acting was very off, especially with FL, she seemed to only express sadness and the ML could barely show any emotion on his face. The writing was sloppy, with too many unnecessary moments, so much time was wasted on the ex-friends Except episode 24 - was done to much needed extra screen time, and a total waste as far as I am concerned.

AN AMAZING & HEARTBREKING STORY
An Amazing Story that left you heartbroken and asking your self why would anyone go through all of that, at times you understood the reasons behind the tears and violence, and then were times were questioned if was right thing to do? and often the confusion of which way to go what is right and what is wrong? a family driven by greed and power torn apart for only one goal in mind? I felt the general consensus is that Scarlet Heart: Ryeo had a great story that was screwed up by messy editing/directing/pacing etc. Production was really excellent, the story flowed and kept you wanting more. It didn't disappoint one bit. I mean, after such high expectations, it is only natural to feel a little let-down just because of all the hype you've been experiencing. But Moon Lovers actually ended up surpassing all my expectations. The drama was perfect from the beginning till the end.it was extremely well-paced. I mean, for dramas it is rare to find such consistently well-paced dramas. Sometimes the beginning is not that good and sometimes the plot dies down after ep 12-16. But here, you never feel like there is too much or too little. It is really hard to skip anything. You just don't want to.

Predictable
This movies was really sweet to start off with, but took a turn to being predictable in the end...I’m tired of all these types of shows that have the viewer invested in a love story that has misunderstandings. Oh, and the usual female lead is too nice to tell her best friend she likes the same guy, so she sacrifices her feelings. these story lines do get kind of boring and so cliché.
There is no message to convey, just bringing the formula of teenage love story that full of misunderstanding in for the actors to play. They try to make a twist but it's a cliché twist, so it's not a twist in the end since audience can guess it right beforehand.
The acting was not bad, the music honestly cant even remember it.
Overall: I did find this movie extremely boring and so predictable, if you have 2hours to waste with really nothing to do then I guess go ahead and watch it.

Cute & Sweet
This drama was really sweet and to the point...it’s the same old story - two cute guys pinning for each other because they suck at communicating their feelings. It should be all cute fluff, pure entertainment, feel-good watch. The story of Kluen and Daonuea is a classic tale of meeting your high school crush after entering college and falling in love .
There were some really bad points to this drama, especially when dao acted a little immature over the situation with Kluen and Gia, and understanding the franticness in Kluen voice, also the whole idea of lets do one date, when you knew full well that you were not interested, and stringing them along instead of just setting the record state from the start.
Kluen was cute to watch after 2moons2, so that was pleasant enough and possibly the only reason why I carried on watching it.
Overall: It was kind of sweet and cute, and looking forward to Fah story, hopefully this one will a little better and more mature.

Live by the Gun .... Die by the Gun .....
Honestly I did not enjoy this drama one bit, and the main reason I decided to give it a try was because of Tay Tawana.This mafia style drama for me was poorly excuted, even the story line was pretty good, but for some reason it just lacked the mafia vibe, or I just missed something about it entirely!!!
Well, this is a series where lead characters are actually less likeable than the hired killers after them (I'm not talking about the mangirl that survived), The main guy is inexplicably portrayed by Joss Way-ar Sangngern (I don't know who got the absurd idea to cast him as lead) and his character swings not both ways, but any way (girls, boys, married women, "friends"..), Mild is tolerable, perhaps Tay Tawan's is the only likeable one. For me Neo who knew that Shin liked him, seemed to have done everything possible to not be with him, and the whole 3 way REALLY???? it was so forced like they were doing Shin a favour by sleeping wih him, Neo & Mew, basically just kept Shin as a cash cow, and honestly I did'nt feel any love for Shin at all, Mew consistenly thought only of herself, and Neo just tried to come across as a bad boy who was more a tag along then any bad boy should be!!! Then the whole running away from the mobster, who happens to be Shin father!!! I would point out how absurd that?
The only thing that was missing from this absurb drama was a zombie attach or martins landing, This was such balls up attempt of mafia series, the only thing that kept this drama more or less alive and in mafia mode was Shin father, he definately had the godfather vibe going, but was it in for the drama.
Overall: For me it was a major dissappointment!!!

ADULT VIEWING
Holy wow and gosh what has my eyes just seen.This movie was off the charts to anyone who is open minded and looks beyond the BDSM that was done in this movie. Firstly I am actually surprised that this was made, although there some parts that I felt were a bit over the top, but hats off to all who did this.
The story line was pretty much there but you only got too see and understand the reasons why they both needed and went through what they did, towards the end of the show.
This was definitely a hardcore, with superb acting.
Overall not a really a rewatch material and definitely not for faint hearted and closed mine!

Slow and Boring
Okay so this is another JDRAMA disappointment.I watched the trailer and thought okay so be could interfering but I was extremely disappointed by the 3rd episode i was really bored of it and skipped the last episode altogether so I just couldn't take it anymore.
The main actors seemed okay, accept i did find the second ML really depressing and often frustrating to watch.
The relationship between them was awkwardly enforced to say the least, it wasn't necessarily that these didnt have chemistry, the whole reason for liking the second lead was because he was lonely and had a guitar.
Overall : Given for me was not a good drama to watch, it just was slow and lacked potential with the characters and story line.
Any good JDRAMA recommendations welcomed!!

Adult only.....
Okay so I am really not a ran JDrama as I've not seen much about them, however this drama was 50/50 for me.It definitely had seem serious scenes in it and all of them were well carried out, almost like a soft porn ??
With only 6 episodes at just over 22 minutes each, the story was filled with rich development that was brought to life by a phenomenal cast, the chemistry between the two male leads was excellent and the intimate scene where beautiful executed.
The music was good, a bit cheesyat times but it helped the movie story along.
Overall i enjoyed this drama both main actors are not only easy on the eyes but have great acting chops.

Sweet & Quick ... & Lacking ....
My review is a personal opinion on the drama.This drama started off really well, and strong, and on point, So What the HELL Happened?
The gave us characters that had more chemistry when they were "fake dating" than when they were truly dating. By giving us a couple that doesn't communicate and understands that there will be times when their relationship will be tested, but that they can overcome that. By dedicating more time on the development of the side stories (Mil's crush on Tine, the fights that had little to do with the couple, by giving us lack of real intimacy between a couple that is supposed to be "in love"... this for me was the sad part and worst part of the whole drama, the lack of intimacy between the ML's was just really sad, after the whole fake dating turned around, I was really hoping to see more of they "love" grow, but sadly that didn't happen at all, in fact they were more like friends who just hanged out, and possibly shared a bed together, Tine was so sure of his love for Wat, that every time Wat wanted to become intimate he ran off (face slap). I don't care for the kisses or the sex , but these two characters behave more like brothers than a couple. Depicting a couple in love doesn't mean having them do sexual things. It can be shown through different forms such as, both couples cooking together and talking about their day, doing something that creates a mood Comforting one another when one is feeling down, all we have is Sarawat just "patting" Tine on the head.
This drama felt liked it lacked so much potential. The only good thing about this I would say is that the music in the series was really nice, and Wat singing his song for Tine was the sweet part.
Overall: This drama started off at 10 but sadly lost its way!!!

Kinda cute & Sweet
The entire premise of this series was, badly excused, the whole friendship and using the friend to get with the girl and then a 360 on how he is madly in love with the friend, the friend be really adamant that he is into girls, goes on a fake date to try and discover how feels, Nah that's just plain, wrong, how do use a girl to figure out if you need to come out the closet, and making such a discovering after dating and being with countless women as he said, it felt like he had play with BL of the two work colleagues in order for him to see his true self.Li Cheng was way too pushy. He sexually harassed Mu Ren multiple times. He also tried to almost force his feelings upon him. It just didn't sit right with me. Li Cheng also really said, "It's not that I like guys. I just like him." Another thing was the focus on who was top and who was bottom. Get over yourself. It doesn't matter. You're not any less masculine because you're bottoming. Yong Jie planned to get Xing Si drunk, and then he raped him. His mom even knew about it. He also had the audacity to film it and show Xing Si's dad. I still have no idea what the purpose of that was.
There were just too many parts where I was questioning if that is correct, and if what they were doing was right, granted they all came together in the end, but the whole build up how they got there is questionable.
Toxic definitely

Worth the Watch
This drama has Rewatch all of it.The acting is superb, the comics were funny, the sport itself was good. The story is relatively predictable in the way that sports dramas are predictable.
Love the ML, he was cool and yet caring at the same time, there were no misunderstanding told it as is, the FL was well matched, and knew what she wanted. . Comedy wise, there are too many funny scenes in the drama. Too many puns, Fatty's reactions, ZGDX teammates reactions, Tong Yao and Lu Yue's immature bickering and Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao's bickering as well- I LOVE IT! Don't know much about the e-sports gaming, but the graphics were really good, and easy to understand.
The female lead is competitive, she has good gaming skills, not too optimistic and is supportive towards her enemies. She likes to give advice to her enemies when they're down or anyone else who also got the same problem as her. Overall the fl have good characteristics. The male lead is quiet, but he's the leader of the team and would always have their backs. He secretly took care of his teammates problem. He got very good gaming skills, unbeatable. He has a soft spot for the fl whenever a problem occur to her. He's straightforward and I like him for this.
They had cute chemistry between not only the ML & FL leads, but the second couple as well, and also the team involved all worked well, and did a terrific job they interacted well.
Definitely a series well worth the watch, very light and cute and funny!!

Well Worth the Watch
I so enjoyed this Kdrama, it had literally had so many funny moments in it, at first I thought another boss / love story but this was a little better and had more humor in it.This drama started with a bang and continued and the reason for this is that this drama is that it's fun and easy to watch, you will be swooning over the romance. whether it's the first lead or second lead, this drama is filled with amazingly passionate couple chemistry and makes this drama so swoon-worthy... A drama can't be any more cliché than this one, but the comic side of this drama is what kept going.
The cast were amazing, especially the main couples and the second main couples were just as funny if not more, you have a strong friendship between the two guys, and even stronger friendship between the girl, they each have they own story or funny moments but at the same time they always come together and be there for each other, you have a Grandfather who is so funny and determined but at the same time acceptable.
I did like the fact that it was 12 episode as opposed to the normal 16, however there are 1 hour long (which can be drag at times for Kdrama) but this was well worth the hours watched, the pacing was good and moved along really well.
Also the supporting actors in this drama. They were fun to watch. Be it the ML's grandfather or the FL's family members or coworkers. They all were a joy to watch on the screen. Especially the women of this drama were just too cute. A special shout out to Seo Hye Won and Im Ki Hong's characters. They both were just too good.
There are many other reasons to watch the drama which you would only know if you start this drama. So don't give a second thought and start this drama. As I assure you won't be wasting your time.
Overall: 110% Recommend

Totally Lovely ...
This series, as a whole, is totally lovely and awesome, and each episode is an individual of its own. The plot, the cinematography and production, the casting, the symbolism and everything about it just you in awe of how well thought out and well put this series is.The series feels like five individual yet connected movies. The production of this series is no joke. The plot is accompanied with aesthetically pleasing scenes. From the color tones of the series, to the way the camera pans in and out on scenes, to the way how the shooting locations complement the plot, the series is giving us movie-quality production. There were a lot of scenes where no words were spoken and the camera is just focused on the expressions of their faces yet you would be missing a lot if you don't get to see those. The more they don't say anything, the more you get what they're feeling.
My only with this series, was that I did find the episodes to long, and at times they did kind of drag on. but either that this was really good.
And the characters are named oh and teh ,they are just doing so good and there are some intimate moments but that are worth for that part .
Overall: it may not be the cup of tea of others, but it's definitely a well worth watch.

In a Bored day
This mini drama is binged in a day, if you need to travel or pass the time stuck somewhere.It started off well, but then kinda got boring and so predictable.
The FL dressing was a little over the top for me, and she alway seemed so well made up in heels and all, who really runs around in heels to save the man you love.
The Ml was definitely good eye candy and he came off with a bit hardcore but in the end he went a little sappy on us.
The best friend holy man was totally wicked but she learnt her lesson.
Overall a time pass drama, episodes are short.
