As good as expected

GagaOOLala: https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7600/love-class-2026

Since prior to this I watched and really enjoyed the previous 2 seasons of this series, I was super excited for the 3rd season. Due to previous experience with Love Class, I had pretty high expectations, and they were actually fulfilled.
My biggest problem with this series is definitely how short the episodes were, especially since there are 16 of them. They could've made it so much better by just doing 8 episodes with double the length per episode.

Things I liked:
1. Jae Min and Khun as a couple. They are so cute and adorable together. Their storyline was excellent, and I really enjoyed watching all of their moments together.
2. Khun. He himself as a character was definitely my personal favorite.
3. Good chemistry between both couples.
4. Great acting.
5. Ye Eun and Stella as a GL side couple.
6. All of the cute and funny moments with the couples. Genuinely had me giggling and kicking my feet.
7. The kiss scene with Jae Min kissing a guy after he kept harassing him really gave me a flashback to "Love for Love's Sake."

Things I disliked:
1. Short episodes. As I already said, I think 8 ep. 30 min. would make far more sense than 16 ep. 15 min.
2. It's quite exhausting how they switch from one couple to another. Because one of them is going through all the drama and another is just two cute guys having fun. There has got to be a better way to switch between couples without making it feel so choppy and chaotic.
3. Classic misunderstanding over seeing a person you have feelings for interacting even remotely friendly with other people.
4. I don't really like how they keep dragging out all the drama till the last minutes.
5. Ending. I didn't necessarily dislike it too much, but with the time skip and everything else, I kind of hoped for more. The ending felt quite rushed.

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT

I would love to start by saying that I had almost no expectations when starting this series, I thought that I won't be a fan of this series. And I was honestly putting it away (even though so much people recommended it) for so long that I feel ashamed now.
But I was so wrong, and I'm happy I was because this series changed something in me, it made me feel something I didn't think I would while watching it.

Everything about it is great, the acting, and chemistry that two leads had been so beautiful, music was fantastic. The story was great, and I loved the way they showed us the reality of what it is like being an idol. What obstacles you have to go through on your way if you want to be in this industry. I learned something new for myself, and it's kinda scary knowing that this is a reality for so much people.

I loved the romance between the main characters. I could feel the tension between them every time they would look at each other, the actors did a very good job with showing us all the feelings that Thame and Po were going through. They both are such a green flags and their romance and the way they were communicating in their relationship should be a standard for everybody.
My favorite moment with Po being the greenest flag ever is when he asked Jun why he interrupted Thame when he was talking. While it is a small thing, I think it's really important that he was paying attention to his loved one and stood up for him when it was needed.
I'm insanely happy that I cave in and gave it a chance because even though at first I didn't understand the hype around it, as soon as I started watching it I fell it love.

Also, while some people found Jun and Po drama unnecessary, I would definitely say that I really liked it. At first, I was really upset with Jun because I thought he was just messing with Po and being jealous towards Thame since they are pretty good friends. But I honestly was really delighted to find that it wasn't like that. I enjoyed that bit of drama, especially since it wasn't annoying and only opened up Jun as a character even more. I would also say that it helped for us to see in depth the friendship between Thame and Jun, and the way Jun stepped back for Thame only shows how much he cherished and cared for their friendship.
The little bits of Dylan and Jun being a bit flirty to each other and Nano shipping them literally made me really happy since after Jun gave up on Po, I was feeling really sad and kinda sorry for him. I would really want to see more of them together, but we can only hope that they actually had something going on afterwards. Since there's no conformation of that, and I'm pretty sure there won't be any second season, but of course I would love to see it though.

If I had to point something that I wasn't a fan of, there is only one little thing. And that is the fact that Thame and Po didn't have much time being a couple, and they did not have much romance going on. While I did enjoy that sweet slow burn, and it was definitely worth the wait. I personally would still prefer for them to have more time together before the break-up, and also more romantic moments with just spending time together.
That's said, though, it doesn't take much from the fact that I genuinely fell in love with them. This series is SO worth the hype, and I absolutely will rewatch it again and again, since it's really that good.

Had an insane potential

GagaOOLala: https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/8026/unfold-2026-e01

An alright series, I liked the first few episodes and was genuinely hooked, but it slowly became worse with every episode. The last episode felt like a fever dream, and I'm honestly happy it's done. It wasn't bad, just not really good either.
Would I rewatch it? Only if there is a second season to refresh the memory.
Would I watch a second season? Yes, but I'm not necessarily excited for it or anything.

Things I liked:
1. Bai Che. He is really smart, and I love that about him.
2. Visuals.
3. Idea. The idea behind the series was great and definitely had a lot of potential, but they really didn't execute it well enough.

Things I disliked:
1. Confusing plot. It was interesting but confusing in a lot of aspects. Unfortunately, people who made it are terrible at explaining things. Instead of spending time on explaining certain parts in more depth, they just add more and more lore pieces to make it even more confusing.
2. Cheng Fan. He is an incredibly unlikable character and genuinely pissed me off so hard, and maybe it's a controversial opinion, but realistically he had no personal reason for killing Bai Che's "father."
"He killed my mother" sure buddy... You mean YOU killed your mother? You needed an organ transplant for her, and HE was the first person you went to for help?? Yeah, it's your own fault, and you have only yourself to blame.
And saying, "No need to thank me," what are you even talking about?
3. Credits to the episode ratio. This one is pretty petty, but 50% series and 50% credits is an insane ratio.
4. No logic. As much as I love the plot and idea of this series, I hate how it doesn't make absolutely any sense:
* In episode 5, Ling Ye was theorizing about who killed Bai Che's "father" and even had thoughts that Bai Che might've done it himself. Now in episode 6, all of a sudden, not only does he know that Cheng Fan was the one who did it, but he also doesn't elaborate on how he knows it.
* If Cheng Fan killed Bai Che's "father," how has he not been caught yet? That doesn't make sense. He clearly had some "business" going on with him, so he should be one of the suspects, and don't even get me started on the fact that he touched him without gloves before killing him.
Watching this series feels like there is at least a one-episode gap between each episode. It feels like I'm always missing some information, and things are happening behind the scenes.

She only has eyes for you

Cute and funny short series with a classic misunderstanding trope. Not bad, but definitely nothing special.

Things I liked:
1. Cute moments.
2. Supportive sister. She is a great sister and best friend.

Things I disliked:
1. Voiceover. No matter how many series I watch with voice-overs, I can never get used to them. I know why they are a thing, but I just personally dislike them.
Even though sometimes they are better and less noticeable than others, here the quality of voiceover is mediocre.
Not to sound disrespectful, but if I wanted a voiceover, I would watch series dubbed.
Also, from what I can remember, this is the first Taiwanese series that I've seen to have voiceovers, so I was quite surprised at first.
2. Acting was tense and awkward at times; their "romantic" moments felt quite unnatural.
3. Last episode is like a fever dream, a whole lot of nothing. Was that added drama really necessary?

Overall, I enjoyed watching it, but as I mentioned, it is really nothing special. Sweet little series, worth it if you just want something easy to watch.

It was SO good until it wasn't

The start was so good, exciting and made me yearn for more, but omg did it go downhill. I was so incredibly sad because of that, because at first it felt like nothing could make it bad even in the slightest, but as I said already, that quickly went out of the window.

But before I talk about what I disliked so much, let me start with the things I liked:
1. Prapae. I immediately liked her. She is so nice, supportive and was there for everybody when needed. I also liked how she knew about Lava and Wave but didn't say anything until they were comfortable enough to talk about it themselves.
2. Honey. She was just this funny side character you see only a few times but still love.
3. Uncle Peng standing up to the bullies for his nephew and the island. That was quite heroic and nice of him; I didn't expect him to do it.
4. Jealous Lava. It was a nice watch seeing Lava get jealous. ;)
5. Lava's growth as a character was quite big, and I can't even start explaining about how proud I feel of him. I feel like a proud parent seeing their child grow and become the best version of themselves.
6. Lava's boxing match. I enjoyed watching this, as well as him getting ready for it, a lot.
7. The way Lava stood up to Tum after Tum said that he shouldn't get involved in any of Davin's business since he barely knows the prince after Davin got shot. I can see Tum's point, but in my eyes he was wrong for saying it to Lava.
8. Lava standing on business and looking for the person that shot Davin.
9. When Lava started treating Davin the way he treated Wave at first to make Davin remember. That was so cute omg, it definitely made me want to rewatch the first few episodes.

The things I disliked:
1. Uncle Peng. Even though he was a great support and a "parent" for both Lava and Wave, he still had a lot of flaws, and I would like to point out two of the things about him I disliked the most:
1.1. Him being so secretive about his relationship with doctor Wut, making him feel terrible while the doctor was ready to come out and make it official. He kept insisting on keeping it a secret until he had to come clean due to someone seeing them together and telling everybody.
1.2. Him constantly picking at Lava. At first it was quite justified, but no matter what happened, Lava would always be his scapegoat.
2. Lava's behavior, specifically in episode 5. The way he was ignoring Wave instead of straight up talking to him and explaining that they have different ideas about their "relationship." Lava sees it as a fling that started at this island and will end here (he plans to move on), while for Wave it is something serious, and he is clearly in love with Lava.
3. Uncle Peng immediately accusing Lava in episode 6 after they got attacked. Saying that it's his fault, etc.
4. Lava addressing Wave as "Your Highness" after finding out that he is a prince/treating him differently, acting like a robot around him. I can understand he is shocked and doesn't know how to act around him anymore, but there is definitely a better way to go about it.
5. The 8th episode feels like a fever dream. I was confused the whole time. What is going on? Weird sound effects out of place, and random cuts that don't make any sense.
The weirdest, quickest, and most boring proposal I have ever seen. What is happening???
6. Lava's mother being incredibly self-centered and making everything about herself (which gets swept under the rug seconds after the conflict).
Acting like a victim, making her brother apologize for being "selfish" while she is the only one being selfish in there.
7. Everybody calling Wave a prince instead of calling him by his name, like he asked. As well as saying that Lava shouldn't get into the prince's business since he barely knows him.
8. Wave/Davin getting shot and losing his memory again, but this time he remembers everything from his past except for being Wave. That was so unnecessary.
9. Peng and Wut adopting Dao's baby in two seconds. This conversation came out of nowhere and was so awkward. Quite literally going like that:
Dao: Adopt my baby.
Peng and Wut: k.
DONE. Are we for real right now? At this point they shouldn't have added it at all.
10. ONE YEAR??? They haven't talked or seen each other for the whole year and then got back together like nothing happened. I would've understood a month or a few, but a year is a bit crazy.

Overall it could've been a 9 or a 10, and I really expected it to be, but it was just getting worse and worse the more episodes came out. Sadly the last 4 episodes were quite choppy, weird and just made me want to finally finish with this series.
I gave it an 8 because even though the end was pretty anticlimactic for me. I still mostly enjoyed watching this series, especially the first few episodes, so I'd say in the end it is worth it.

Cute and funny short series

Overall I enjoyed watching it. It had nice acting, good chemistry, and actually funny jokes, which is for some reason a really rare occurrence. I can definitely recommend it as a nice short series to watch when you want something easy to relax to.

Things I liked:
1. Crossover with GL series "The Way Back to You."
2. Pretty good acting.
3. Great chemistry.
4. A lot of cute and sweet moments.
5. Actually funny humor.

Things I disliked:
1. Voiceover. I am not sure why Taiwanese series needs one, but I am really not a fan.
2. Kisses. If you can even call that a kiss, I am usually not the one to complain about kisses or the absence thereof, but this is something else. I don't know what was going on there, but I know that I'd rather they didn't kiss at all or just smooched on a cheek instead. Because that was just embarrassing.

Sweet and bubbly

Good slow burn to relax and watch when you want something easy and cute.

Things I liked:
1. Extremely adorable series with a lot of funny moment's. The humor is not cringe/annoying, timed good and overall made me smile a lot.
2. Friends. They were definitely a highlight of the series for me. Such a genuine friendship and great support at times when needed was so nice to see.
3. Main character. I loved everything about him, nothing else to say.
4. A lot of cute moments, especially the ones with Amasawa being a bit of a cutie, buying matching keychains and stuff like that.
5. Food. Everything looked so good, omg!
6. So-called “love rival” can't even call her that, really. Even though she was supposed to be a love rival, I still liked her, she was so polite and respectful. She didn't overstep any boundaries and immediately backed off when was told that the main character doesn't share the same feelings for her. I honestly expected her to become a friend to the main character after that and thought she would show up again in the series, but sadly that never happen. I guess you can interpret it like she only saw him as a romantic interest, but still kinda sad she disappeared like that.

Things I disliked:
1. The whole father thing. It was confusing and was swept under the rug as fast as it appeared. Needed more screen time or honestly don't even put it there, it's still would be good, nothing would change if it wasn't there.
2. The age gap was a bit…Eh…I'm not a hater and honestly don't mind age gaps that much, but that was just not so necessary. At first, I thought it was less, but when they showed Amasawa's age I was a bit idk uncomfortable I guess? Because 11 years is quite a number, you know.
3. “We are both guys”. Bro, with all due respect, shut the hell up… Like y'all have an 11 years age gap and your biggest concern is that you both guys??? No way. They had infinite possibilities with making up some drama because of their age and making Amasawa's “thinking time” more about that, rather than adding this stupid thing about “Oh, but we both guys!” Oh! Really Einstein? I couldn't tell. Like, please stop this!
4. Hardly any actual romance, yes there are some cute moment's, but they had 3.5 kisses and that's it.

A thing that i neither liked nor disliked but is worth mentioning is that as I said before it is an easy watch, if you're looking for something more of a substance it is definitely not that. There are no crazy plot twists or interesting tropes, but if you want to just chill and enjoy a slice of life sweet story, that is exactly what that is.
Overall, it was so much better than I expected and I enjoyed watching it!

Cute

That was actually quite nice, good acting, a lot of cute and funny moments, and no crazy drama. I'd recommend it as a cozy short series to watch when you want to relax.
I'd like to mention things I liked/ disliked in this series.
I liked:
1. Acting. As I previously mentioned, the acting was good, not much to talk about here.
2. Good kissing. Their first kiss is my personal favorite.
3. It was overall fun, enjoyable humor, not too cringy and not too much.

I disliked:
1. The way Han U Jin treated the main character. Touching him without asking for consent and just overall treat him like they've known each other/dated for a while. We will learn in the end why exactly that was the case, but in my opinion even then it does not really justify the way he acted.

In conclusion, I can say it is worth watching, and I'm sure I will be rewatching it as a little comfort series from time to time.

Short but cute

It had a pretty strong start, and honestly I was quite scared of it going downhill from there, and sadly it kind of happened.
I still enjoyed watching it and think it was worth it.

Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkQFxcEhORR2FeqYtgF11cPxC7n_hYgk-

Things I liked:
1. Good chemistry. The main characters definitely have good chemistry; I enjoyed seeing them together.
2. Acting.
3. Even with the small budget, they did a pretty good job at making this short series.
4. Kang Ji Seok's funny and flirty personality.

Things I disliked:
1. Extremely short. Especially the last episode, I feel like it would be much better if they made the last episode a bit longer.
2. The whole reasoning behind why Ji Seok "shouldn't get close to the main character" is pretty dumb in my opinion.

Crying sobbing throwing up

YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI7uWKLBqfRqXvmH3uACl2iw

I will say that my expectations were through the roof for this series, and yet somehow they were still exceeded.
This is genuinely one of the best GMMTV series of all time, if not one of the best series of all time as a whole.

Things I liked:
1. Insane chemistry. It was truly something else here, especially the first few episodes.
2. Exceptional acting. All I can say is wow.
3. The ending. I strongly believed from the start we wouldn't get a happy ending due to multiple factors, but I was so happy to realize that we indeed got a happy ending.
4. "I'm not God's favorite son either." Somebody give him an oscar, trully a beautiful line that, while unexpected, made me so incredibly happy.
5. Bussaya (Barth's mother). She is THE mother, an absolute legend, and if I were her, I would've done the same with no hesitation. Protecting your child is one of the biggest priorities when you are a parent, and that's exactly what she did.
6. Cherry and Phai. Great, supportive side characters.
7. Kongdech. The best friend and genuinely the sweetest boy with a big heart. I was so proud seeing how far into his dream he got.
8. Master/Father Phak. Same as Kongdech, I couldn't be more proud seeing him achieve something he wanted. Still, his story broke my heart, seeing how similar it is to our main character's.
9. Barth. We are all people, and we all have flaws, so I won't say everything he's done was perfect, yet I do want to highlight how great of a person he truly was no matter what.
10. Honestly everything!

Things I disliked:
1. Genuinely nothing, and I cannot be happier.

Not enough time

!grief, SA, bullying!

Sadly, this series didn't live up to my expectations. I've seen a lot of good stuff about it, but after watching it, I'd say it was pretty underwhelming. Not bad, just not what I expected.
The main couple was the underwhelming part for me; while I liked their interactions and I'd say they had pretty good chemistry, their overall story was really dragged out and not that exciting for me.
On the other hand, though, Kelvin and Archie's story is way too complicated for such a small series, especially for a side couple. I would love to see their story in a separate series with them being the main couple.
Overall it was quite underwhelming in my opinion but not too bad. A good 7/10 tiny series to binge-watch when you have nothing better to do.

Things I liked:
1. Main couple's chemistry.
2. Some cute moments.

Things I disliked:
1. Kelvin cheating on his wife, who he has a child with. Even though, from a viewer's standpoint, after learning everything about her, I really want to say she deserves it, it doesn't take away from the fact that Kelvin could've had some human decency and not done all of that behind her back.
2. Kelvin's wife filming Kelvin and Archie being affectionate and posting it back in school days, then watching Archie get bullied with a smile. As well as sexually assaulting Kelvin in order to baby trap him. I didn't expect her to be such a rotten person.

Y/N and mafia boss

*minor spoilers*
Nice and cute comedy series. I really enjoyed all of the sweet moments.

Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI4FP9uMttYt5IYujbpNVPUG

Things I liked:
1. Thee is such a goober, I love it.
2. Mok. Definitely a favorite character, so funny. He was a highlight of a lot of moments in this series.
3. Peach's maturity. I love how different he is from Thee and how he is teaching Thee a lot.
4. Rome/Williams appearance.
5. Mostly funny humor that isn't overly cringy or annoying.

Things I disliked:
1. Using AI slop.
2. No explanation of what happened to Wiwid. He is literally a predator and deserves to be treated as one. He definitely deserved a sentence in prison. But we were not shown if he received any actual repercussion for his deeds.
3. So many ads...
4. Not nearly enough of the RomeMok couple!
5. I personally wasn't that fond of TawanAran's couple. Especially after Aran took him back just like that.

Could've been one of the best series ever

*minor spoilers*
It is definitely one of the best OffGun series in my opinion, but some aspects of it, as well as the ending, made it worse for me.

Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI5PgAzQZcE8fQdOVzJZgicx

Things I Liked:
1. They did a good job portraying a real-life problem with the AI.
2. Great acting from everyone. I really want to see Dew more in similar roles in the future as well as Off. They did an amazing job.
3. I love the chemistry between all of the main characters. Watching them feels like I'm in a whole chemistry lab.
4. Koh is a freaking megamind. He is always two steps ahead of everybody. I loved his character for the most part.
5. ("I can't live without you." "Well, I can.") Jira finally standing up for himself—that has to be the best thing he's done.
6. I fell in love with the style of this series. Everything was so beautiful!

Things I disliked:
1. They moved from absolute hate to "move in with me" in less than 2 episodes. A bit too quick in my opinion, 1-2 more episodes would be perfect.
2. No matter how much I disliked Pheem for several reasons, I still would accept the Pheem and Jira ending 10 times out of 10 rather than the Koh and Jira.
3. While watching 10th episode, I was hoping so hard for an ending where Jira end's up with either Pheem or, even better, alone because after everything, I really didn't want to see Koh ever again
4. A classic "timeskip fixes everything." They didn't show us a single thing to prove that Koh truly changed for the best or at least did something to get closer to that. There is no way these characters would be able to stay together in any type of healthy or sane relationship without doing anything to become better.

Nice start, but the rest was pretty disappointing.

Honestly, I had much higher expectations for this, and since I was watching it as it was coming out, I slowly started losing any interest I had in this series overall.

Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/@letme_yourheart

Things I liked:
1. Jack is such a cutie and is always speaking his heart.
2. Ja. He has his fair share of flaws, but I still really liked this character for the most part.
3. Fern. She is so supportive, cute, and a great friend.
4. Thanu and Kwang. I love their dynamic. They were moving a bit too quick for my liking, but other than that, they definitely were my favorite couple.
5. Jack and Win resolving their "conflict" and having a civil discussion like normal, grown adults. Honestly, it was refreshing to see this instead of those cliche exes.

Things I disliked:
1. Dirty glasses in episode 1 (that's just a personal pet peeve.)
2. Jack's fans. So obnoxious.
3. Could be cringy at times, but it is bearable.
4. I honestly don't feel that much chemistry between the main couple, and it feels like everything is happening a bit too fast.
5. Forcing unnecessary drama because they can't write anything meaningful.
6. Whatever happened at the end of the 7th episode. There is no way they actually did that...
7. Our friend just died a few days ago? TIME TO PARTY!!!
8. Too much mindless drama. As soon as everything seems to settle, something has to happen again and again. Give us a break!!!
9. (?) This one is not necessarily dislike towards the series, but watching episodes 9 and 10 was almost impossible because of subtitles or lack thereof. There are no English subs on YouTube for the last 2 episodes, and the only way to watch it is with the auto-translate subs, which is annoying, I'm not going to lie.
