Cute
This was a lovely slow paced love story.Loved how they filmed it in Finland, although it looked extremely cold, can't imagine how they coped but well done to them.
Story was nice no drama just good old love Story. And it came together over a snooker game.
Characters were good and well matched.
Overall very nice and slow

The Bikes were amazing
I really liked this drama because of the bikes and the racing my only compliant about this whole drama was that the sound effects of the actually bikes and racing sounds ... for me that is the whole idea of illegally street racing and fast cars and bikes is the actually sound of those beasts !!!So apart from that small sound issue, this drama was good ... it was done in two parts.
The first being payu/rain story ... which was really hot and good , there story unfolded really well and pacing was well set. When you get to EP 4 you might hold your breath, but EP 6 might have you calling emergency services.
The second being Pai and Sky - Know this story got me in a twist, as sky story had more demons in his closet then, the previous part. Although I like this story better mainly because of Pai, it was well paced and kept wanting to know what had happened to sky.
My only issue with the second part was the ending, was everything was revealed and then it felt rush between the two.
Overall: The drama was really nice and did'nt leave room for any thinking and like i said i did enjoy the bikes the most of this drama, accept for the sound effects which were really sad.

Enjoyable ....
I did really like this drama quite a bit ... Pam was relatable and donovan was hot !!!Although donovan came across as hot mess ... he was really genuine in his feelings with pam you could see and feel the chemistry between them ... I love how pam handled situations, although i did a get a little frustrated when she always thought about the people around her and never about herself first ... I do respect elders views but they also need to respect boundaries and allow children to grow and make they own.
Jessica and Miss Da were a bit annoying and honestly it really showed how people with power and money can get away with everything... I was super happy when she had a nose broken and wanted to smash the screen when she returned... as for jessica she played her part well, in the sense of a being a really selfish bitch and always thinking of herself even though she always helps out in situation its never genuine there is always a catch with it ...
Overall: this drama was really sweet and kept you interested ... not to mention the hotness of DONOVAN

Action & Speed
This drama was really done, in terms of the action scenes and driving skills.I Loved the Main Lead in this drama, which was why I probably this watch. I did get the Robert De Niro vibe from this, which was not so bad... Although dark, violent and gritty, it is also ADDICTIVE, COMPELLING and POIGNANT.
The story is basically around revenge seekers who cant get closure from a loved one killed or being bullied or a mishap taking place in either personal or work life, Every single member of team avengers carry their own chilling backstories - crimes committed against their loved ones where the perpetrators never truly received the punishment that they duly deserved.
I have truly enjoyed Lee Je Hoon’s performance here, in what is his best work to date, the team work and the way stand together is also a major plus in the drama, each of the characters have there own painful experience and story to share and of course the fight scenes and driving skills were really done well. Taxi Driver's message is that revenge is never the answer, and neither is locking up criminals and throwing away the key. karma always comes back to get you in the end.
As for the production -- well, a thousand and one kudos to the cast, the writer, the director, and production team of Taxi Drivers for a job beyond well done, but especially to Lee Je Hoon, this drama wouldn't have worked as well as it did without him.
Overall: A really good action drama which is a definite to watch!!

Not enough In-depth in the Story
This extremely short movie was not what had expected, first off it is literally 15 minutes so its one of those quick watches when you waiting at the train station or something!!I personnel did not enjoy this, as i felt it left a lot of unanswered questions, and everything was just put together for the sake of it!!
It does explore the homophobia side of things, but again i think this short film could done better if was a more a series, or even a full length movie instead of the 15 minute that I witnessed.
There were some good points to this, as the couple were already in a relationship and how they came to there decision, instead of one making and the other ghosting, the growth of the mom and her acceptance of her sons choice.
But overall Nah this was way too short and it could have done better!!!

Not as good
I really looked forward to this series after seeing the first one.Although it was a good watch there were times it was way too repetitive to the first one, which they could have left out, and also it was not as good and fast movimg as the fisrt it was slow to start with and at times really frustrating. I particularly didn't like the FL all the time as she was slow to see the love.
I loved the second ML and FL love growing. They interactions were really good.
All in all it was an okay kinda watch.

A Bit far fetched
This drama was consistent throughout as a light-hearted watch that never took itself seriously. The drama is mainly about a love triangle between a girl and two guys that are polar opposites of each other. For me this series lost the plot when the FL and the second ML were supposed to be brother and sister and yet the kissing scenes were by far better then the her and the actual ML.The story was a little far fetched and often times I found myself asking what earth are they all fighting for and at least gathering around about, the Longevity flower and everyone wanting it cuz it gives them immortality. The pace can be very slow at times, to the extent that can feel like time has stood still. During such times, the camera tends to zoom onto the actors' faces, trying to capture their emotions. Qiu Yue's face is immaculate. He is so beautiful to look at, in black or white hair.
Overall: A teenish romance drama with strong leads but weak plot.

Love is really Sweet
Wow this series was totally amazing, and i just have to say that Luo Yunxi was supper HOT in this series. his whole character was played really and story flowed through really nicely, there was no dragging out and no unnecessary dialogue. There was also some really funny parts to this series, and lighthearted humor, RW role was played really well and having two serious good looking man on anyone screens is definitely worth watching.I did enjoy the story as well and Bai Lu character was a very strong Female role, however she didn't come across as not what to beloved she had that faith in her and the Luo was exceptional in supporting and always being with her, there were times i did think she would go overboard and make him sweat for no reason but the two characters complimented each other.
What I liked most of this series was that the story unfolded and got straight to the point, there was no unnecessary drama, and everything happened as it should have.
A SERIES WELL WORTH WATCHING
Especially seeing LY in his racing gear and OMG in his suit and tux the man was HOT !!!!

Loved it and waited for this ...
I so enjoyed this drama, mainly because of xiao, Xiao Zhan is an incredible talent. Xiao Zhan is a consummate actor, able to play any role and become that character.The overall story is solid and the chemistry between all characters is excellent, it's not just 2D between ML and FL so that's another really strong point about this drama that many other dramas lack... The different relationships between all the characters and their character growth. Loved Gen Qing, Chong Ming, & Yuan. Moral, character, scenery, music, costumes, art , excellent CGI and top class acting of the leads - this series had them all at highest level.

Respect to the Firefighters!!!
Firstly let me start by saying the I salute all firefighters, if they go by what i saw hats off to them.I liked the series, mainly for Yang Yang, and he did look good in uniform.
I loved how the series just went straight into it, and they never dragged on the past, accept for a few back story line which they did jump too, but it was nice and short and they did not stay too long or dwell in the past.
The doctors were also played they part well, and they did make it look like they knew what they were doing in terms of the doctor roles, qin qin was a bit annoying in certain episodes, especially at the parts where she knew what her mother was doing was wrong, but she was too timid to say anything. Wow talk about a controlling parents, esp that mom, holy hell, she was something else, the 1 part that kind of hit nerve with me, was when her son got arrested and the comment or line she said, money can be everything or nothing can be resolved without a price, I guess for the super rich that would really be the case, and it does hit a nerve, watching a lot of rich people buy the way through life and have no sense of obligations for others.
The firefighters role was really pleasing to watch, and the training they have to endure, for risking there lives in order to save a stranger, who in the end will probably not be thankful. the scenes in which the firefighters showed cased were really good, and look realistic, I think the most heartwarming or tough episodes to watch was ep 39 when the typhoon hit, and it made more grateful then anything that my country does not see those kind of disasters.
Overall : This drama was really good and of course i love Yang yang, and he really good and well matched in this drama.

Worth it watch DW
This series grabbed mainly because of Dylan Wang!! however, after i got into it a bit more it was really good, the story line was a bit on the dragging side, but DW looked super duper HOT in all aspects of this series, especially in his general armor.The second ML and FL were really good, for a first in a series I think this ML was really excellent and he really complemented DW in every way, they were both serious aloof demons and both first time experiencing love and warmth from there partners. I especially loved the FL (bird demon) she brought life to the series and was really good there love story was really well played and the complemented each other. Not only that second ML was also a super duper Hot guy and I loved the interaction between him and DW.
I didn't particular like the main FL, she didn't come across really well, and her character was kind of flawed considering she kept dying and being brought back to life. i personally think the second FL was well suited for the Main lead as well.
DW love was really touching and strong, and his costumes as Dragon King was well played, the graphics were really good as well, I loved him in this series, I really hope he does a series in a general suit cuz the man looked super good, then again throughout this series DW was exceptional, I honestly don't think I would have watched this series he wasn't in it he deserves an award for pulling this off.
As always we have the Immortal fate who turned evil, he was evil in The Untamed and got killed by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and he was evil in this series and killed by Dylan Wang!! Three exceptional hot men killed the same guy (LOL) love that!!
Overall this series is really good, in terms of music/Dylan Wang/ Deng Wei/ and the graphics all involved.

A hot mess
I really wanted to give this drama a 10 or more, since we had waited for it so long ... but sadly this drama did not do any justice and I do think my rating is high for this HOT MESS!!!The thing I liked was kamol he was super cool and hot as always but this drama was not for him, he could not carry that whole domineering look or mafia look at all ... (might be biased here probably the only reason why I scored so high) ... the bed scenes in the first episode was already a down fall to start off with, and I do think more thought and planning should have gone into to it.
The story was simply mediocre and didn't really relate ... Kamol sees kim and instantly falls for him after a one night stand ... there after its down hill all the way ... I didn't feel the chemistry between these two, it was like everything was forced and no flow to it, the build up was not as expected and it was just really bad in terms of the love scene... it also came across that kim was not sure of his sexuality and how to carry himself...
The music was okay ...
Overall: it was not a great series and after waiting for it for so long and it was a bit of disappointment...

EXCEPTIONAL !!!!!
This drama for me is the best one for the year of 2022, and possibly for a long time to come, the number of times I have re-watched this is endless ever since it came to an end.The story, the cast, the locations, the productions, the scenes OMG were out of this world, and the fact that this drama has been trending No1 worldwide speaks volumes all on its own.
I love how each of the characters were so well matched and they fitted there partners well, for me Kinn and Vegas were the hottest throughout this drama. The way each learned to trust and love and work out there difficulties was amazing.
Honestly saying this is a 10 start is a little underrated.
I loved it....
Overall: Lets go do another re-watch (LOL)

Cute Reminder ...
This drama popped on my feed and I thought what the hell let me give it a try.Not so bad, obviously I am late watching this, as this came out around the time when lockdown was really on and the pandemic was in full swing.
For me personal this was a really a nice and gentle reminder of how far we have overcome since Covid, and what we may still be going through while finding a new normal to life.
The (lack of) chemistry between the two main characters was intriguing as was the premise of having a one-night stand that goes wrong in all kinds of ways. when you complete the whole series you get a better perspective and you can appreciate the whole story very clearly. Reb's flighty instability in the beginning was actually essential to providing room for him to grow and change. And because the plot is not rushed or superficial, it is believable, in the end, that two so dissimilar people might actually grow towards each other, and become capable of that kind of peaceful, accepting love.
There was some real and some positive vides that does make one grateful for the small things in life, the love aspect was a bit cheesy, but guess everyone views love in a different manner.
The ending for me was a bit of a cliff hanger, since after the 14 days one leaves with a friend request. I wonder if there is a season 2?
