A LoveStory That Starts Out With A Dangerous Game!
"Lately when i wake up in the morning, the first thing that`s on my mind is that you are not too far away from me.But there will come a morning when the first thing on my mind is that you are far away from me. There will also come one day when all i think about is that i have...deceived you. Even when that day will come, I pray every single day...that i will still remember your smile."- Si Hyun (ep 28)
***
The story of "Tempted" is toxic with very self-destructive characters. We have the good-hearted but slightly broken female heroine Tae Hee who gets lured into a love trap by three very infamous rich bestfriends, The Male Hero Si Hyun who is the so called "The Great Seducer" but who will get seduced in return by his heroine, falling himself into the trap he set for her. We have the Second Female Su Ji who will cross any limits to succeed in her goals even if it means stepping over innocent hearts, but she has a great heart for the few people she loves, alas she will also hurt them in order to reach her goals. Second Male Character we find in the wild and kinda carefree rebel Se Joo who always tried to stick the group together.
I totally appreciated this story for what it was, a melodrama about very broken youth trying to heal and live life as fully as possible. All actors did a great job in portraying their characters, i mean all four main characters totally shined through the screen in their own way. Tae Hee & Si Hyun have something that totally made them click together on-screen, they are utterly adorable and beautiful together. I loved their scenes together, just so wholesome and touching with how devoted they become to each other.

A story filled with symbolism..
The Girl in Blue is one of the earliest adaptation of Fei Wo Si Cun’s novels and she is literally called Queen of Angst since her main leads always suffer.This story is also among her heartbreaking ones!In this drama however the story is quite tied to the color of Blue and uses it as a symbolism in many ways. It revolves around depth and sensitivity and bravery , but also aloofness and sadness. Ruan Dong Zi uses blue matching light sticks to lure in Jia Qi’s attention. She is the woman who broke his best friend’s heart years ago,almost making him commit suicide and die in the burning house, in which Dong Zi saved him. Dong Zi has always despised Jia Qi, he wondered what on earth made his bestfriend lose himself towards that ”love”. So Dong Zi plans for revenge that was doomed to backfire on him so badly that the effects of it would almost ruin his soul and life. To trick Jia Qi into loving him so he would break her heart this time,this was his game of love..where there would be no going back from him or her there on. The magic blue lighting sticks, the secret written web novel (where the author name was Blue, though the author was Dong Zi,hehe) , the beautiful friendships and the secret game of love and the devastating love triangle. This is a story about three wonderful but flawed characters Jia Qi, Dong Zi and He Ping and how they find their meaning in life and love.

Watch this one for the main-leads!
Chen Fang Tong & Dai Gao Zheng totally fired up the screen in "Maid`s Revenge" so i have been unable to forget these two for a long while. I was so excited when i got to know they would star in a new drama together. "Forever Love" is a contemporary romance with business intrigues and politics. We have investigations going on, combat scenes and betrayals. But the fiery chemistry between the main-leads totally made this worth the watch, i binge watched it in one day. Dai Gao Zheng is absolutely gorgeous as the bodyguard Qin Mo Yao and i loved how absolutely besotted he is with Tong. Their love-scenes made me absolutely warm all over. Ahhhh how i hope for more dramas with both of them steaming up the screen again!!Was this review helpful to you?

I love romantic stories about married couples.Din and Ran are both kind of a odd pair,but they worked so well together with their different personalities.Both wants the best for the other,they are so undenyable cute together and very passionate when it comes to love-making,LOL!The episode where Din tried everything to get Ran pregnant was hilarious! Both are also very vulnerable and can become insecure very quickly when the other partner doesn`t behave normally.Ran and Din are both very possessive of each other which gave show for angst and adorable jealous scenes.Din`s bestfriends and colleague`s Rock and Cookie are wonderful characters.It was fun seeing Golf on-screen and watching him play a fun charming character like Rock who finds his first love in Taen,a photographer who cathes cheaters.We get a fun second-couple in them.We also have several villians bringing in trouble all the time,all the more relief when they finally lose in the end.It was worth it watching this lakhorn for all the fun and excitement,i especially appreciate the on-screen chemistry between Andrew and the very stunning Ploy!

This is a lakhorn that turns the tables and i enjoyed every minute of it!I love the storyline,although the last episode went a bit out of it with the way it added more and more unnecessary drama that i could have done without.Palai is a good hearted heroine who gets forced to turn her heart into ice as she fights every bit dirty against the enemies who wants her bad.She was so stubborn and brave that i rooted for her.I also love how the actress portrayed her so naturally.She executed sassyness,shyness and cuteness so well-and when she was angry...she was soooo angry LOL!
Bank Artit is a actor i have had my eyes on ever since i watched "Cubic" where he portrayed a supporting character and had so much charisma!It also helps with how handsome he is,LOL.I am glad he get leading roles nowadays since his acting is so startingly good!I love how he portrayed the noble and kindhearted Siwa.Siwa is not much like all other leading heroes.When Siwa loves,he loves with all his selfless soul.He could handle how Palai broke his heart all the time and left him bleeding.He would take a bullet for her,take flowers to her while she is working,even marry another woman he doesn`t love just to keep Palai safe,handle her betrayals even as far as thinking she could be pregnant with another man`s child he still loved her irrevocably.He said it himself,he is so crazy in love with her that his love only increases even after she hurts him.That`s so beautiful and romantic.I love Siwa so much!
Siwa and Palai are a beautiful couple that i want to visit again and again.Love their chemistry so much and i love how there was this awareness between them even from the start,although Palai tried to ignore it since she thought he was dating her cousin.Siwa`s father is a villain in this story and i felt so sorry for Siwa.His life literally turned hell when he realized all the stuff Palai told him about his father was true.I can`t imagine that kind of suffocating pain and anguish over knowing what kind of monster your own father are.Still,Siwa handled it in the best way he could and decided to still love his father despite it all.The fate of the snobby cousin and Palai`s aunt is really brutal but i can`t say i will miss them since they annoyed me throughout the story.I didn`t enjoy Thana`s character here much (which is weird since i loved him in "Prom Pisawat) since he was much unstable after his fathers death.I wish Siwa and Palai all the best with their second marriage and their newborn child!

Kob is as amazing as always.Just love her acting and presence and i simply want to dig more into her other lakhorns and watch more of her.There is something about her i find very likable!I watched this lakhorn raw since it has not been eng subbed.I could follow the plot very easily but did struggle to understand the conversations sometimes especially when it came to the secret of which people are the little boy Arn`s real parents.I also adore how Aekan and Arn`s relationship slowly develops throughout this lakhorn and i thought them adorable together.When it comes to the romance it was pure hate-love relationship.Lai and Aekan hate each other with bitterness,but can`t help but be attracted to each other.They fight in every episode til the end,which is about 96 % of the story,so there are very little sweet moments between them since they were too busy insulting each other,fighting,throwing the other in the pool,Aekan forcing kisses on her while she afterwards scratches him on the face (that scene is memorable,lol).They pushed each other`s buttons like no other.I also need to give some credit to the clumsy servant who always seemed to grate on Aekan`s nerves,lol.She was so funny!I will say this lakhorn is far from perfect,but i still did enjoy it mostly because of the on-screen chemistry between Kob and Stephan i found so carnal at times.

Ah,i love the revenge trope.Its so dark,addictive and dramatic and only high-lights the main-leads chemistry.I am not surprised that Por and Pat were one of the greatest koo-jins during the middle 2000s because their on-screen chemistry was on fire every second.Sakan Santiwas have been misunderstood and abused his whole life by his foster-brother Sakon (played by Grate Warintorn) and his foster-mother who never let him forget that he is a unwanted child into the family.The only kindness he got is from his fosterfather,he has otherwise lived a very lonely life.As soon as Amwika came into his life it became turbulent and he couldn`t help but fall for this woman who threw her hate at him in every turn.He was no doormat and gave the trashing she deserved when she went too far,but mostly he chased after her like a love-sick fool sometimes...just letting her lash out her vengeance on him.He was alright with loving her despite all her insults.He was man enough to overcome her hate with his everlasting selfless love..and thats why i think Sakan such a worthy hero.Amwika drew her every breath with her revenge,her love for her sister pushed her for it.After all the chaos she did,i know she deep down knew that Sakan was not at fault or else she would never have been able to give her heart to him.
(Ps:This lakhorn can not be found anywhere with Eng subs.But there is a trailer with Eng subs that can be found in Youku.com)

Split Personalities, Second Chance romance, Crushed Dreams and Realized Ones.
"Sugar & Lies" starring the very beloved mainleads Ke Chun & Yu Yin. They stole my heart in the Vertical "Save Myself" last year in 2025 so i eagerly awaited their next project and it came in the form of a Mini drama this time. What a pleasent surprise!It starts with what you would assume is a angsty second chance love-story. But "Sugar & Lies" gives you so much more than that. It went far beyond my comprehension of what a trainwreck this complex story was gonna be. With very complex but extremely caring and loving characters. You would think the whole lot is shady and weird from the start. But then so many things start to make sense. Ke Chun`s character embodies the double personalities of Chen Aming and Yu Kin so well. Chen Aming is the broken lost boy who was afraid of the world and the pressures of poverty. Causing him to leave his heroine Ding Dang. To cope with his trauma he creates a techno App called "Keep Love" that is going to manufacture relationships and romances. He decides to erase his past pain involving Ding Dang, but the experiment backfires when another darker personality gets created by his pain- that is the more cold-blooded and manipulative YuKin.
Telling more of the story will only give more spoilers to how extremely hectic everything is and how truly shocking the climax is. It may not be everyone`s cup of tea because you are so confused the first 10 episodes. Having no idea what is going on but knowing that STUFF IS SHADY AS HECK. Nothing is as it seems, nothing! Ke Chun & YuYin and the rest of the cast did a splendid job.I mean, wow the chemistry and the intimacy between them. How they could make you laugh and smile with their hilarious flirty antics! The dark bittersweet angst. How neither could let the other go. We also have three constant set locations in the story , Ding Dang`s cafe "Suga Love", Chen Aming`s working app "Keep Love" and the bar where everyone usually gather "Utopia".

Forbidden love-filled with sensuality!!
I see Yao Guanyu and i just CLICK cuz that man is so fine and talented! The way he just takes over a scene with his presence! Ah he just makes my heart beat faster!! In this drama he portrays a rich heir who is in love with the servant`s daughter, they have grown up together as "siblings" but they always loved each other.We see them submitting to the intense passion for each other at the beggining of this story-but both are promised to marry other people. ML could not resist touching her, like he is kinda insane!! He did not seem to give a damn sometimes if they would be found out or not. FL is soft, gentle and sweet, the traditional heroine, i could see her appeal and i also like how she answered ML´s passion in the same fervor. Gonna say it, SEXY!

This drama got me so hooked!!
I enjoy most of the dramas i binge watch, but "Love at the Edge of Divorce" got me hooked and addicted from the first episode! Like the title says, we have a married couple that actually have never seen each other because of Male Hero`s hatred of her family and their greed. The heroine Sheng Miang is rightly hurt by his coldness, but she lives on with her life and has a career in interior designs as the pseudonym Penny. In a course of fate the pride and arrogant hero Yancheng`s heart gets moved by Penny not knowing she is his wife Sheng Miang. I love that the moment he understands that Penny only chased after him wanting his project all his walls fell down and he totally let himself be consumed by her and he pursued her love in return.The way he looks at his heroine, with a love so deep and powerful that it hurt to watch them together sometimes.Touched with a core of possessiveness, he loves her madly and desperately! No wonder our sweet heroine was touched by him!!Just a beautiful and passionate love-story...you keep glued in your seat waiting for him to realize that the woman he loves is the wife he despises! I also adored his grandfather who KNEW that they were meant for each other!

"I think we find our soulmates in the places we go to find our souls"
-Unknown***
The epic love-story of the tough heiress Zhao Chunman & the cold deadly gang member Zhou Chi-their love-story is depicted in three lifetimes, the most important one being the second lifetime since thats when both really gets to know each other. The title Spring is a exceptional season that symbolizes rebirth, renewal and revival. The earth awakens from its slumber and blossoms into a vivid and vibrant display of colors. That is the feel and vibes of "Spring Rewritten". So many beautiful memories, so many sad heartbreaking ones as well.
Zhou Chi-in all his quiet coolness, was a young man with a passionate heart. He lived and breathed his love for Chunman, always striving to protect and care for her in the shadows. When she initially seduces him the poor sod stood no chance, he fell head fast for her...deep down knowing she was plotting. He is mighty because of how great of a heart he has. The actor did such a splendid job in portraying him! The way he gazed at his beloved heroine, the ever stubborn Chunman who desperately tried to save the people she loves. Beautiful co-stars by the way.Their chemistry is out of this freekin world!!Incredible cinematography and the highlight of the just soulful OST that tugged at my heartstrings. I am definitely going to re-watch this beautiful art in the future, Zhou Chi & Chunman will draw me to it!!

Classic Epic Xianxia Romantic Love-Story,
that reminds you that fate is inevitable, but with enough willpower anyone can change it against the Heavens. In the story of "Fairy and Devil" we follow the resurection of the prisoned Moon Supreme Dongfang Qinsang, a soul without his love tree and who gets heart cursed with the sweet and innocent Orchid. He despises the power the Heart Curse has over him because of her, but he cannot kill her so he becomes her savior who protects,provides and nourishes her soul. Its so sweet and endearing, the way she slowly stole his cold-stone heart.Arbit Hall must be the most beautiful home i have ever seen, the home Orchid so clearly loved. I mean the light, the architecture and the overall heavenly feel it gives, just so magical i could not take my eyes away from it! This is one of those romances that can rival the love-stories in "Till the End of The Moon", "Love in the Clouds" and "Love Game in a Eastern Fantasy" and "Novoland:Castle in the Sky". You cannot take your eyes or heart off the story and its characters. You learn to love everyone of them, with their goodness and darkness. My heart felt heavy but satisfied by the end of this drama, all the obstacles Orchid & Dongfang got through...the way they suffered and loved. The way they fought so hard for each other, how neither could feel happiness without the other. I can sum it all up with one word: beautiful.
