BULL’s EYE

Writing this after episode six and the intense meeting of the sperm.

Totally love love loving this drama so based on my very own viewing entertainment, it’s a perfect ten. Rather than the other ongoing drama series that are recycling plot lines (also enjoying), this is refreshing to me. Mind you I was terrible in science and all the experts are probably jumping on concepts in this drama because I don’t know it’s accuracy. BUT, I find it intriguing and interesting. It’s a sci-fi after all but very thought provoking. Can you imagine if this can be done? Oh my gosh, it would be absolutely cool.

Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin are perfect for the roles simply for the very reason everyone thinks they aren’t. Totally different from their other roles, it’s probably the appeal to their taking it. I see nothing less of their acting abilities except to shine even more. It’s great seeing Jin again after missing due to personal growth and to me, she’s still that natural great actress made for camera entertainment. Min Ho after so much growth also is natural and this role is cute for him, Dr OBGYN. Love it! Combining a hint of romance, science intrigues, crew bonding, personal relationships, medical decisions, and more makes this drama. It’s short so i don’t know how it’ll all be wrapped but it’s a great flow and very interesting to me.

Everyone in this work deserves praise. The crew on the ship might have their own agenda (raffle ticket) but I predict where they’re going with it. Minor distraction but the bonding of people working together in a small space is good. The space team at the station have their added intrigue. The rich and their own agenda that of course is unscrupulous as very common trope also adds to the build up. In all, I find this very entertaining made solid after episode six and while it’s sad many are not connecting with it, I for one is loving it so I feel it’s made just for me. (wink, wink). Yep, they hit a bulls eye (to me at least) with this production. Give them a try.

Delightful engaging

Randomly clicked on this show and surprisingly find it really cute. Looked at cast and even more surprised that even though they’re university entering students, the female lead is actually thirty two? She can pass to be a high schooler, middle schooler even.

While nothing really new of the storyline, which is a clumsy, new student, and her unwarranted run ins with the popular guy, it’s the acting that glues you in. The girl lead is an aggressively enterprising person. Highly motivated to do well, self starter in her likes, she appeals to me. While doing all that, it leads her to some bizarre run ins with the lead guy. Yeah, these producers are getting really creative with the ‘accidental’ kiss thing, it had me eye roll laugh. The thing is, she’s totally unaware too much of the stir she’s causing as she’s focused on herself and her determination at her goals. With the student side characters who add to this delightful developmental story, it’s cute.

Blame writers/producers

I’m looking at the pictures of the cast and feel bad. However, nothing can make me go easy on this drama.

People who watch Thai dramas will by now understand the flow. Common themes are excruciatingly extreme they become almost gothic sinister. You will just have to watch for yourself to understand. For this one though, I just feel like I need to speak out to warn. The actions of these characters makes you wonder of the sanity of the writers and producers. From parents, to siblings, it’s as though it’s a whole different level of human beings in a extraterrestrial society. They certainly belong in one because if these are the way people and society is in Thailand, maybe something needs to be done to cut them off from the rest of the world. Lol. Okay that might be very extreme but seriously, these people are total garbage.

There are so many plot holes even if you try to fill them you will continue to sink. One son is shown to hire hitmen to kill off siblings girlfriend and son. So many attempts are made and cops never show up. No one is ever interested to catch them, just fighting them off and let em scram. 🙄 Gosh this made me so mad. Yeah, totally lawless.

The abuse endured by female lead was unbearable. Of course she’s written as the heroic knee bender, the slap me, it’s my fault, common favorite female write ups. All the other characters schemed, plotted, slap n slap n slap some more n slap this poor woman because no fault of her own, two brothers liked her. Unrealistic and outright ridiculous that this was thought out.

Later episodes became a revolving same thing of misunderstandings that it just became a case of tears, and more tears of same nothing really.

Actresses played and displayed perfect facials for their characters…nasty, hateful, cunning. I do give this to these actresses especially in Thai dramas that they can play those roles really really really well. Ughh on the character.

I’m not gonna finish it. It’s sad I actually stayed that long (14 eps) but from where I leave off, I can guess they will be together at end. To endure all that. Endurance has its limits and mine gave up. I feel bad for actors but if these are as good as scripts they can find, alas, talents are wasted.

You be the judge. You might see it wholly different. If any description though above turns you off, it’s really bad..

I didn’t know if I’d like this after seeing so many virtual dramas with same plots and disappointments. However, it turned out quite nice. Both leads did a really nice job. His range of expressions really reached depth in its portrays of every scene. My favorite part was when he found out a major discovery that sealed his desire for reconciliation. That was too cute. Female lead for once was someone who had a voice, a talent, and a life beyond her past. She carried her role well, maintaining her dignity while pursuing her dreams. As for the rest of the cast, everyone did well to add layers to bring out the story. To the end, it tied up well that left me very satisfied. Also, camera work was splendid. Yes, very nice watch.

Sister Strong

This is a great story. It is well translated, well written just as I’d hope for in a series. Familiar plot line of sisters where one becomes selfish and uses other ones kindness to advantage. However, no matter what, when it comes down to it, the bond of sisterhood remains true so forgiveness wins. Cast are really good. Love the character of HAWICK. Some say he had a weak role. I didn’t. He was great. He portrayed a very lovable man towards his woman while carrying a silent revenge from childhood hurt. Each character were well developed, the main leads remained strong and caring throughout. Yes female lead was too nice but she was feisty mad when realized she was betrayed.

Things wrapped well, and every single character’s issue was resolved. Yes, very well written slice of life family drama I’m sure you’ll appreciate.

Unforgettable

The story wasn’t focused too much on the romance as stated in description. A young man, (JiSung) and a group of others share a great bond due to growing up in an orphanage in Jeju. They’ll divide due to opportunities to get ahead in life, however the bond is solid when needed. There’s a secret to his birth that will play out, and that’s the part that’s interesting.

There’s much to take away, things to ponder on, relatable actions that feeds on our emotions. It’s a great story. From beginning to end, it’s worth the watch.

If I ever find the time, I’d love to read the novel.

This will be short because many have spoken beforehand. I’m rating this high for the fact that I find the leads totally in sync with chemistry. I’ve watched so many dramas where the pull and push of leads keep viewers hanging by the thread just to see them get together at end after enduring eye rolling nonsense. Here, I love that he chases after supposed cold demeanor. Their cuteness, readily acceptance of mutual feelings is what I enjoyed. The first twenty episodes had so many sweet bantering fun moments that if they inserted the last episode as twenty first and ended, it would of been perfect for me. The story itself isn’t bad, female student in an all male school, her influence for good with various opposition. Kudos to entire cast but Xu Kai and Zhao Lusi perfectly matched up to give us a treat to the perfect romance. I’ll definitely go back to rewatch the first twenty episodes.

I’ve been watching too many Asian dramas perhaps which is why this taking place in France was a welcome sight. France is very beautiful just as I love the cinematography of asian wonders I get to see through films.

I like this a lot for Joseph Chang, the lead male. He’s cool, fearless, loving, hard worker, family oriented, and yes, very handsome. Two people with each personal agenda comes together never thinking of something greater than own inevitable ever lasting. It’s simple but the story weaves beautifully like how a good movie should…a thoughtful plot, plot lines, good acting, satisfying solution, lingering emotions at end, happy after. It’s enjoyable and it’s only because there’s so much to see I said I may not rewatch but if I need a feel good story at some point, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. I rate high for enjoyment.

I was ready to be enmeshed from all the raves about this drama. Yes, I finished it but admit that half way through, I put it on hold and started another show. It didn’t keep me longing episodes after episodes.

Why? After the first episodes, I was really glued. Then, it became dragging. The male lead was thoughtful but his character is one who’s an introvert and in state of being in trance. Yes, he’s handsome but I would rather him be outspoken, demanding. Female lead was about the same, though very strong at beginning, started to weaken out, and in trance state at many times. Some episodes I felt were total useless and story could of wrapped in way less episodes.

Cinematography as all historical Chinese dramas is beautiful. I was irritated the female lead was in same dress for most of movie, even after rain, many years..lol.

It was good but definitely not memorable for me.

Enjoyable? Fun? Clicheyish? All of that and loving it!

I just love this so much. It’s like reliving that feeling when I first started watching kdramas during covid. The feeling of immersion, a discovery of new heights in screen entertainment, impatiently waiting for episodes. It’s the type of love story that captures your feelings right away, toe curls, and automatic smiles. Oh my heart this is so cute. Maybe it’s the leads, especially main guy. Fresh!! Leads are having a blast obviously because it translates through the screen. Their interactions, line deliveries resonates in laughter, frowns, shocks. Yeah it’s them. When you think of it, the plot is so similar to hundreds others so yeah, they are making the plot immersing. I love it!!

Drama drought fixer

“If you want to seize every chance to change things around, never pin your hopes on someone else”.

This line from 3rd episode I feel is not only reflective of her drama character but i feel applies to what we’ve seen her experiencing in her life. As Xu Yan, she’s the neglected child, having to rise to her ideal through own hard work. In her personal life, she fell sick to a very serious disease that left her nearly vegetative with a recovery that was harrowing. On top of that, she has been battling her agency that she’s made known have treated her badly. As fans, she’s missed on the screen. This drama though, filmed before her illness has been the great anticipation. Throughout the year, teasers have spread about its release. Without promotion, it appeared. Now it’s on fire, spreading wildly. Her dedication to her art is evident as this has risen to some ground breaking firsts. Its popularity also is a result of people who have come to support her. Kindness begets kindness. Her love for people, even when it’s inconvenient (putting her vulnerable recovery publicly to bring awareness to her decease, compensating cancelled events, bringing attention to village farmers products resulting, and so much more). Zhao Lusi shines her light that transcends not just in china but globally. Her actions is her agency, her cure, her humanity.

The reason this not so new plot line is doing so well is the leads of course. This is a great pairing. They really do compliment each other and if anyone has any complaints about age, I think it’s silly. Just as the pairing for Dating in the Kitchen was great, this is just as well. Though it’s not my trade, I’d think it’s how you approach a script. You read it, study it, adjust as needed to make it work. Thus, the big success of both dramas with age gap. Directing is superb as well. Each episode is filled with connections and not just fillers. Script writer is commendable. The dialogues are understandable with the right amount of lines adoptable and adaptable to life. A good script needs good actors to make its mark. Check, check, and check. Supporting cast are just as commendable. All around a wonderful cast brings a delightful fluttering worth romance worth the anticipation.

I’m up to ep 22 currently and nothing is disappointing this viewer. I’m glued in to every word, emotions, actions and it’s my dopamine after each day of work. (Sadly it’s coming to an end too fast). It really is very good. Join in.

All done! Everything wrapped, great drama, HE.

It can only get better…

Not done but it can’t get worse as the best and cutest is already progressing. If you’ve watched S1, you’d probably be on the fence of quirky dorky or quirky fluffy. I mean the FL and her silliness? You love her or wanna shake some earthly sense into her. At the end though, all’s forgotten as the cuteness of the lead couple, Xiaoqi and Feng Leng is overpowering. Here in S1, I feel that Wen Peng has polished her acting and is doing a great job. I’m not so irritated like in S1 with her. This time around, she has revised her role to a maturity level that while continuing with the loads of tropes, she acts it marvelously. She has even turned up her comfort level in her relationship development with ML. If we hadn’t known it not to be true, you can almost match them up as a real couple. Yes, that’s how sizzling their relationship is.

You might be frustrated with plot as it’s like a repeat of s1. I may have started out like that, but I’m finding that it’s okay. The deliverance of roles makes it seem like a much better version of S1 and I’m enjoying it so much I don’t mind it. This is a very fun, relaxing, sweet, memorable series if anyone is looking for something away from serious ones.

Oops, I was about to sign off but the supporting casts are just as cute. Yes, besides leads there’s two other couples that are so cute and fun too.

Lovely Story

I’m only past first green light, barely scratching the surface of the story but enough to form a first impressions review I want to note right away.

First off, the cast is great. Seriously I admire the talents of these young artists. Since Hidden Love, I haven’t been attached to school aged theme dramas. After third episode though, I am into my feels because the delivery of characters is really good.

Second, the writing. There’s really great liners that doesn’t just sound good, it connects. I’ve been on a rollercoaster of feels, teary even. I mean this story has themes already early on that is binding me to the core. Child abandonment? I don’t want to get into that as I just started but yes, development is flowing nicely as the premise is shaping up.

That’s it for now. I’ll be back at end but really, this is a keeper.
