Overall, it wasn't bad, I quite enjoyed it. The leads were cute together and that was the point of the show, showing them together.
However, the story was not that great and got pointless and boring as the story went along.
It started good but then it got kind of confusing. Especially around the beauty pageant contest. Like they barely showed what's going on. Like it was the beginning of the contest and then they skipped to the finals suddenly. Maybe I missed something but for me they skipped everything.
For the last episode, it was weirder. It was literally a bunch of scenes glued together and no definite conclusion, maybe it was like open-ending? I don't know. We assume it's a happy ending because they are working together and are happy.
For the acting, it was questionable at times, but considering that the actresses are new to acting and they are beauty queens’ contestants, they were not bad.
The story is nothing new or original, as I watched lots of similar storylines. Reminds me of the The 100 (American series), the Hunger Games (movies), Divergent (movies), The Maze Runner (movies), Blade Runner (movies), The Tomorrow War (movie), etc. That's what I can remember right now.
However, despite the similarities and being basic, I really enjoyed it and it's really done well. It was not draggy at all, fast paced, one thing led to another and made sense.
Also, the acting was great, the visuals were awesome, the fighting and gun scenes were epic.
For the ending, it feels like a conclusion and moving towards a better future as Korean people were united and not separated anymore with titles. Plus, the air was slowly getting cleaner.
However, from another perspective, since Ryu Seok received Sa Wol's mutated blood, he could live. Like his fingers moved even after getting shot by 5-8. But the air core blew up after and Ryu Seok was so close to it, so if he lives, it would be a bit exaggerated even if he received mutated blood. Unless they make a plausible explanation for it.
Anyway, I recommend this drama. It's a quick watch anyway. Like I finished it in 5 hours. But it's a bit dark and lots of people die so it may not be for everyone.
Finally watched this drama after 4 years being on my PTW list.
I really enjoyed it. The story related to web portal companies was interesting and something new for me to watch. It was nice seeing how they work, about the bosses, the employers, competition, marketing, how they put in ads, gaming, music, webtoons, corruption, bit of politics, etc. This was the focus of the drama and I really enjoyed it.
For the romance part, it was not bad. All the couples were cute. My favourite couple were Cha Hyun / Scarlett and Seol Ji Hwan (the actor). They were really cute together <3
For Bae Ta Mi / Tammy and Park Morgan, they were not bad. But their relationship was too draggy and complicated from the beginning till the end. So, I lost interest and I assumed that they would end up together at the end for a happy ending, which they finally did.
For Song Ga Kyung and Oh Jin Woo, we barely saw anything and literally left in the air. They had potential and I wish that they showed us something.
I assume like everyone else did, that Oh Jin Woo really loved Song Ga Kyung to the point that he did everything for her. Like what she does is good. He even said that if she kills him, he will forgive her. If that is not love, I don't know what is.
For Song Ga Kyung, if she loves Oh Jin Woo. I'm not sure exactly. It's like she does love him and does not at the same time. I don't know. It's more like she wanted to cut everything related to KU group and that includes her ex-husband. I’ll say that she does have affection for him.
Now, ok I did enjoy the couples. But this drama really had potential to be a GL drama. Like the 3 women, Bae Ta Mi / Tammy, Cha Hyun / Scarlett and Song Ga Kyung really had excellent chemistry, even better than paired with men.
Like ok you can say it's sismance, but it felt more than that. I especially felt it in the young versions of Cha Hyun / Scarlett and Song Ga Kyung. It felt more than friendship.
I rarely ship women together, as I love BL dramas more. But this drama could have really gone in that direction, and it could have been a love triangle between the 3 women. Like their chemistry and acting was off the charts.
Anyway, I loved that the drama started with the 3 of them and ended with the 3 of them. I'm glad that I finally watched this drama. I kept postponing it but still left it on my PTW list as I wanted to watch it and I'm glad I finally did.
Definitely recommend this drama if you want to watch more about web portal companies and the other stuff I mentioned above. The romance genre is not really the focus. Ok, it is shown, but it wasn't really the focus, and the 3 women are the highlight of the drama.
Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I quite enjoyed it and made me feel nostalgic as I watched the Korean drama 7 years ago. That's so long ago lol.
Of course, you cannot compare it to the original Korean drama, as it's one of my most favourite dramas and I really love the story. However, this adaptation is quite faithful and good.
The downside was that it was too rushed, and the story was mashed up together. Even the chemistry between the leads was rushed. Like I ignored it because I know the original story.
For the ending, it was really lacking and left in the air. Maybe they will continue it. I don't know as Chinese short dramas tend to leave a cliffhanger at the end so that they will continue it. At least from my recent experience of watching short Chinese dramas.
Anyway, I do recommend watching this drama. It's a fast watch, memory lane and it's good if you do not know what you're going to watch.
I'm in a drama slump right now. I cannot seem to find anything interesting to watch or nothing is catching my attention, so I just randomly decided to watch this drama.
Honestly, it's not bad, but I did not like it as I expected.
Maybe I had high expectations, or I don't know what I wanted exactly. But the story was not that good in my opinion. Or maybe not that presented well. Or it was so ordinary with full of cliches that I did not like it that much.
Or there were so much stuff going on like trauma, sexual harassment, villains getting what they deserved, etc that in a short drama like this, it was rushed and mashed up together.
Even the time gap in the same episode was too fast. Like it was Christmas Day, and the next scene was Valentine's Day. I think the problem was more how they presented it or maybe they had time limitation so they cut and pieced episodes together.
However, overall it was not bad. In the end, the highlight of this drama and the point of it was Uea and King. I did love them together. They were cute and adorable together <3 And the ending made me smile from ear to ear <3
Their relationship was quite healthy considering the fact that they started their relationship with sex. However, King was already interested in Uea from the beginning and really cared for him. Their relationship was quite good and the fact that King never forced Uea to do anything against his will was nice to see. I really loved that. King always asked for consent each time. Even when they made a bet and King won, he did not use it against Uea. I love them <3
Btw, an annoying character in this drama was Uea's mother. This woman really needs a slap. I can say the actress did a good job.
PS: Also, another annoying character and he unfortunately appeared in every episode was Jade. This guy really does not know how to act. I had watched him before in Cutie Pie and I did not like his acting at all. Here he was more annoying as he appeared more. I don't know whether I'm going to watch Middleman's Love, but whatever.
Honestly, I really had low expectations for this drama, but I got curious about it and so I decided to watch it. I really enjoyed watching it ^_^ It was not the greatest drama I ever watched, but it was not bad.
The plot was not the most original and there were moments when the acting of some actors was off.
However, for the plot I liked the blend of school life, the mafia life, and the mentions of drugs and of course love. Btw, the blood type part was interesting as well, like Sun and Sky met because they have the same blood type. Also, this drama is considered quite light and not that violent.
I loved all the couples, Sun and Sky + Bank and Pitch. They were all adorable and cute together <3 Ok, their kiss scenes and chemistry were not the greatest ever compared to dramas like KinnPorsche, Love in the Air, all History series (Taiwanese dramas), etc. But I enjoyed this drama ^_^
Finished! I did enjoy the story and I did like it, but it's not the most excellent drama I ever watched. It had moments where a scene gets too draggy, and I did fast forward some scenes.
It's not that I hated it. I did like the story, the story about the legend of the Tiger King and the messages that we should take care of nature, the forest, and the animals. I also loved the place where they filmed, it was beautiful.
Also, I loved the cast and the characters. I really loved the villagers as well. Like they are loyal, work together, help each other, etc. They are one big family.
I mostly and really loved the actor who played Dr. Sama / the Tiger King. I loved his expressions. Like when he is sad, in pain, hurt, in love, angry, playful, cheeky, adorable, etc. Like wow. Honestly, he was the highlight of the whole drama in my opinion.
For the actress playing as Parichart, I did not hate her, but I wish she could have done better. Like her expressions were mostly the same.
Still, I did love Sama and Parichart as a couple and the highlights of the drama was not the romance, so let's put it aside. I loved Nonta and Kahlong as a couple, but it's a shame we barely saw any. And Saksit and Dr. Atchara were cute as well, but we barely saw anything either.
A happy ending to all and the villains got what they deserved. I mostly feel sad for those characters who fought hard to protect the forest, the animals and the Tiger King and they died, they really did not deserve it.
Anyway, I really recommend this drama ^_^ It’s been a long time since I last watched a straight Thai drama. I mostly watch BL Thai dramas nowadays.
Honestly, I did enjoy it. I loved all the couples and their kiss scenes. They were all cute and adorable. I also enjoyed the guest roles of Ye Xing Si and Fu Yong Jie from History 4: Close to You. It was nice seeing them again <3
However, the plot was kind of messed up or I can say not executed properly. If felt like all over the place.
I found myself bored at times and doing something else while watching. This is considering that even one episode was not even 30 mins long, except for the last episode which was longer.
It's not the worst ever, but it could have been better. Still, I did enjoy it :)
Loved it! It was a short drama, but it was nice, cute, lovely, heartwarming and deals with lots of issues and great messages. It is also a happy ending for the main leads ^_^
I really enjoyed this drama! It was really hilarious! xD I decided to watch it because of the cross dressing troupe as it is one of my favourites, but did not have high hopes but I ended up loving this drama! <3
I loved the combination of romance, comedy, bits of dark moments (but mostly light), awesome characters, great kissing scenes, great chemistry and family feel with all the cast and actors, good fighting scenes, loved the costumes, background and production overall.
I mostly loved Ye Zhao Nan and Liu Xuan Ming together. They were so cute, adorable, and great together. I loved their chemistry; it was excellent, and their reactions felt real and genuine.
Also, considering this was a short Chinese drama, I loved the story and how it was portrayed and gave great messages too.
Like men and women can do anything they want and what they like. Regardless that the stereotype is that a man is supposed to do that, or a woman is supposed to do that. Like the world can prosper if we stop judging and see beyond our noses (not sure if this is an expression or I’m using it well but like I have heard it somewhere before, but whatever ;P)
Honestly, I liked it better than I expected. The story was crammed and sped up, but I kind up warmed up to it as the story went along and liked it.
Of course, the manga and the anime are the best and what I mostly love. Also, I do love the 2010 movie version more as it was the first live action adaptation of Kimi ni Todoke and in my opinion the actors were more suited to the characters.
However, the drama was good, and I ended up liking the actors who played the characters.
I have one question and I'm curious about it. Was this drama filmed like between 2014 and 2015? As when they were looking at brochures to enter colleges, they all had 2015 year written on them.
Anyway, if you are a fan of the story, it's good to check this drama out ^_^
This is the first time I have seen a variety show from the beginning till the end, as I sometimes / rarely watch short clips of Korean variety shows on youtube.
I honestly enjoyed it a lot ^_^ It was interesting, exciting, dangerous, had hard quests and made me feel tense most of the time.
Now, I don't know if the ending was rigged or there was foul play, etc but I can say at least I loved the concept of this variety show.
It would be interesting if they made a second season. I don't know whether they will continue it or not with the controversies that happened and saying that there was foul play.
Btw, I think there was one of the death matches missing as the action stuntwoman did not appear. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do not remember her. I noticed her when she like got the spotlight of the moving sand quest because she builds the bridge well and stuck the velcro well and her team won thanks to her.
Anyway, it was nice to watch, and I got to learn about sports I had never heard before.
