Lost Potential ...
I was really excited for this one, mainly because of the two ML and of course Fluke ...Although it started off really well, it did fall short after the 3 episode for me, and the main reason for this is the whole I am going to look for Enchante, not sure how many people actually go searching for a total stranger but then end up being your self, I did find kind of strange, and bit a of attention seeking, I do get the reason why he did though, but I do feel there was a way to confess your love. The moment it was revealed who the mysterious Enchante guy is, it just started going down the drain. then the main 4 so called popular role modals that turned out to be greedy or just wanted to use theo to gain something was a little off for me. The whole Enchante concept, build up and payoff was extremely lacklustre and disappointing.
The actor for Theo was pretty flat imo. His acting was fine, but I wonder if it was just because the character was so dull that I wasn’t that interested in him. Akk on the other hand is beautiful and charismatic- I really hope we see him in other works soon. Honestly if he wasn’t one of the male leads in this series, I may have just dropped it- it was that boring.
Overall: I did struggle to watch this every week, and it basically came down to well lets just end it, since i did invest time in it from the start, that goodness it was a shortish drama, as I don't think I would have continued with it if it was longer.

Difficult to watch
This was for me was really difficult to watch, mainly because firstly it didn't really grab my interest fully, but I wanted to see it, and with an open mind of what really happens in the village (if this is true).It seemed to have to the right message, addresses the social and political situation in the country, like corruption, killings of non-corrupt politicians, or the threat of gang crime. The message behind it is to encourage people to not accept these circumstances, to stand together and fight against crime and injustice. In this sense, the series can be called patriotic,. Which is why i said its really difficult for me, as I am not clued up o the understanding of what really happens in the political or village front.
Overall, the story seems immature to me, too short and often incoherent (past, future). The boylove theme is presented as the main relationship in the film. Without corners and edges. For the fact that the harsh reality in the poorer regions.
I don't think I will go back to watch this, and very honestly I didn't actually finish the whole series I think got to 6 or 7 and I had to give up, I know i had only 1 more episode to get through but I just felt like it was a waste for me.

A Drama that has it all ...
if you are looking for a drama that literally has Backstabbing / Lying / Affairs / and all out crazy this drama has it all ...The only positive thing on this drama is Ohm.
The story had a good plot to it, but the acting was really off, Mei was so annoying that it really made the drama go down hill from there, her endless screaming the lying the assuming, and tp it off she got off so easy after pulling the trigger...
The secret affairs and again getting away with everything , and owning up to wrong that is being done, this drama shows you how to get things done in the wrong way and still get away with it.
Overall : NOT WORTH IT FOR ME

Short ...
This drama was literally an hour long, the episodes are all 5 and they are short ones, so this is one of those you can sit while scrolling through your phone, there is not much to this drama.Onto the plot. I really didn't see Wild Dog being an undercover hitman trying to take out Flying Dagger. I think that was the moment, it is an mature drama, which is nice, and the basis is to do with some mafia gang wanting to kill each other off, and these two get stuck and fall in love between them. I did like the fact that flying dagger did not ending hating wild dog when he found that approach came with a hidden agenda.
The cinematography I found a bit dark in some parts of the drama, but overall it was ok.
Overall: It is not one of the best like I said you can watch this while scrolling or looking for something else to watch, as there is really nothing to this drama.

Not as good as the first one
The strong impact created by the 1st season was sadly gone from this season.The good:
1. OffGun, need i say more?
2. Krist, its refreshing to see him.
The bad:
1) i used to like the straight couple before but now they're just whiny little waste of screen time;
2) where are the dogs, its Puppy Honey without the dogs???;
3) what's up with the 5-minute opening credits and 5-minute closing credits, the run is 8 episode and you waste 10min per episode just for unnecessary crap;
This drama was horrible. There was so much potential but I don't know who dropped the ball on this one. Three of the actors in this drama are so good in others but I did not feel the chemistry at all. Ugg like another reviewer said, save yourself from watching this. I had really hoped to like it but even after watching it two times to understand what was going on I was still left wondering "what the heck did I watch?" Just like my bad romance this drama deviated so much from what could have been a sweet story.
Overall NOT WORTH IT AT ALL

Had it Funny moments
It did have some funny moments to it, but nothing to brag about.I am 50/50 on this drama, as I only picked up because of Ohm.
The story was your normal basic, school girl with no self confidence in herself, protective boy and bullies. an angle of death mistake and switching of bodies. there was a whole lot going on in this drama, but the funny moments made up for the mess i think it was. The cinematography. The acting. The writing. The music. From a thoroughly dispassionate standpoint, Kim's death was really unnecessary in my eyes. I think it could have been handled differently.
Although seeing OffGun made me happy and seeing Ohm dance in the credits made me smile I don't think these two things are enough to save the rest of the episode.
Overall: This drama had way too many mixed signals and not enough of a good message in it.

Sad Ending but a sweet story
This story was not what I had expected, and was shock to see that we were dealing a ghosts, although a sweet story but a sad and unclosed ending.I feel like the show tried to portray the subjects of loss, regret, miscommunication/lack of communication. How some people can be so focused on their own feelings, they can’t see other people and the truth that is there. Also the mum was for me way harsh but it did teach you be careful what you say, cuz it could be the last words you say to your loved ones, kind words and love should always be your final thoughts and what is to be said, as well for your loved one to hear. No matter how hard a situation is or how difficult times can get, especially for a singly MOM (like myself), never ever make them feel like they are a problem, and find in this case the mom did play a really bad role model, not only was she harsh but her career seemed to have taken preference and not taking into accountably for what transpired for the girl father that ended up in the coma. Now onto the real victim, I do get the fact and understand that we as humans feel it is always necessary for us to blame others for something going wrong, and such is the case with this, the girls father was extremely wrong to kill an innocent person for his daughter sickness, and then try to justify it after the child slips away. I was shocked to see that it was him though.
For me personal this drama showed all kind of wrong doing that humans do and experience or go through. It didn't portray and positive outcome from. The drama itself was good the acting was good, the music was okay.
Overall: It was good watch and short to binge watch, but keep an open mind and see where do we fear and fail as humas.

Low Budget
Honestly this for me was a real waste of my time, and screen play,It felt like a really low budget series thrown together for the sake of viewing time. The Story was so depressing and I found the second male lead to be very annoying and more like an attention seeker, and the first lead just didn't have a back bone to stand up for anything, he went from being a bully to being a sissy literally!!
At some points you could actually see the cameraman shake like his arm was sore or something, and the dialogue didn't seem to go with the drama, it just like there was more drama then actual necessary for a show of this kind.

Short & Okay
I came to the show because of OffGun, but still enjoyed the whole story even the non-BL parts.Its a pretty easy watch and the series is short 6 episodes, its light hearted and cute, not much dogs / cats in the show, but the main reason to watch this is because of offgun, just them together is enough.
Its a good watch when you have about 5 hours to spare. See it while eating your dinner and dont think too much about the plots and loopholes, just enjoy, maybe, just skip to the BL parts. (LOL)

Extremely Dull
This was an extremely dull and boring drama that I have come across.It was all over the place and really didn't have an direction to what was going on !
The acting was embracing to say the least, it was son bad that I cringed. The editing was rushed and a wreck. It just b felt all over the show.
Overall it really had potential butb it b just lacked to much, i can't say that I would recommend it, guess you will just to try it out for yourself. And make your own opinion or choice.

First Ever Reality Show ...
Okay I don't normally watch shows, but this show caught my attention mainly because of the cast, 3 of the hottest and most lovable men (Jackson Wang/Arthur Chen/Allen Ren)!!!!So they really paired together and looked like they had so much fun doing all the experiments together. I so enjoyed the show not only for them, but also I sort of learnt a few things myself which I didn't know about.
Jackson for me was the most funniest one out of the bunch, and he seemed to more keen to do the experiments, he was not shy or had any problems trying out certain things. and he seemed to get along well with every one in the group.
Arthur was my second best to watch, he had such character about himself and seemed to get along.
This show was really interesting and I think the individuals made the show a success, they tackled every day issues, and experiments that make one think
A truly an enjoyable show

Good Story Line
This movie had a really good story line, but unfortunately for me it didn't come across, it was poorly excuted.The thing I liked the most is that I watched it solely for the romance factor but it turned out to be so much more than just that.
Where i felt let down was the timeline just didn't seem to flow and as we nearing the end it felt like it was being rushed, the begining of this movie started off a really good foot, and it definately touched on issues that are most likely happening today, but when it came down to it, it just seemed to have been rushed over.
Nagisa, he's the cutest character and his relationship with his daughter, you could feel the love he had for his daughter and how he wanted to be with her, and see the carreer mom, who is caught betweeen to loving her kid but also wanting to progress in life, the thing that I disliked the most was the fact, yes she was hurt by what transpired and possibly felt betrayed or lied too, but it just seemed that she wanted to get back at her husband for lieing to her by using the child, and unfortunately that is the very case in today society and all around us. she allowed her grudge to come between a father and daughter, and her mom who was not really present but seemed to have a lot to say.
Overall: This is a good movie, for me though I just felt there were important things that they should have expanded on and have more of understanding, as it did touch on some serious issues such as rights to raising a child.

Extremely Basic ....
Once again I was let down but the title of the drama, Craving you was not what I had in mind for this kind of BL!!!I understand it’s challenging to produce a drama with well fleshed out plot and real character growth when you’re making a 10 minutes episode drama, But not now. Not when there are other dramas out there that has shown that they can produce good content with fluff or a little angst and with great chemistry can this be acceptable. This drama for me just didn't have any flow to it, we never got to see a build of the characters, then a second couple got thrown in and we never got to understand what happened between them, the airport scene was a really cliche, the wedding was so done, then move to a couch where they make out (this last episode of them making out was probably the only good thing about this entire drama)
The acting was extremely basic, to the point one could say low budget, the music was okay not going to make my playlist.
This series felt like a fever dream. With me not knowing wtf was going on half the time lol. They shoved so much into this that I kept getting whiplash from character/plot changes.

Beautiful & Short Story
So this drama is literally a short story of a total 4 episodes, and although I did find it a bit all over the place it was kind of sweet to watch and did'nt take up the time.The Story was good, and had potential if they could have dragged it out and give us more of in depth of too how and why the split personaltiy took place, also the reason why he followed him all the time, and we could have watched how they love for each other developed. I did feel like that they were a jump in times and the flow just did not make any sense. The one that I did find extremely annoying is that the next the episode, literally had at leaset 3 minutes of the previous episdode, which I feel that they could you used that time to progress they story out more.
The ML were not so bad, and they did a good job, except I find some of the lines a bit 'stiff'. Main couple's kisses were very real and did not appear to be awkward so another big plus to their acting, the second couple was really confusing to the point I really wondered what they part was, as there was hardly any interaction accept at the end of the drama, and we have no idea what actually transpired between the two?
Overall : this drama is short, but they could have given us more, and it would have definately been a well worth watch.

Bromance ...
Okay this is a bromance and not a BL, but having said that, its was a really good and extremely enjoyable to watch, I literally watched this drama in one sitting that is how good it was.This Drama is a separate beast altogether. Though the main relationship remains explosive with unresolved sexual tension that is very palpable, in absence of actual sex a real mentor and pupil relationship comes to a forefront and the progression of said relationship is very realistic. As a rule the story deals with two very different and lonely people who have no one they can trust, as they are thrust into a situation they both don't want while being chained by their temperaments and positions., And the show does very well with the options it got.
The main characters were really put together, you can feel and see the chemistry between them, it would have been nice for them to have had some NC scenes (but with China on rampage with this I guess we have to settle with no touchy adaptations)
not only were there a well, pair but they both were hot in looks, your typical BAD BOY, meets White collar boy. there were well matched I thought & decently-paced, in a way that really drew me in, if perhaps while implementing plotlines & characters that one could perhaps say have been done before.
I thought the acting, at very least of the two lead males especially, was very powerful and well-done & very compelling; I thought they also had excellent chemistry and played very very well off of each other. From their facial-expressions, to their vocal-tones, & their overall body-language & everything...it was all so excellently conveyed by these actors that, in my opinion, it crossed into that silver/golden line where really great acting actually becomes completely surreal & even almost Unreal to watch for me in how perfectly & how POWERFULLY portrayed it is. when in reality it is actually a pretty rare person who actually conveys their emotions so well or so flawlessly that it is nearly impossible to so-easily mistake except perhaps if you aren't really particularly attentive or learned to such specifics or detail. (But, it wasn't just the leads, many - if not even all - of the rest of the cast also acted very capably well.) I thought the whole cast embodied their characters well, although - I suppose - I can not truly compare the characters from the tv series to those in the novel...nothing I have heard of the novels so far has really deviated from what I had personally seen in the tv series. Of course, every reader of any novel will have their own ideas regarding that anyhow, I'm sure.
Overall, this is a great show, and the story is so different that it got me hooked. A must watch! Again, BROMANCE…LOL.
