Honestly, I had high expectations, so I kind of got disappointed as the drama went along. Don't get me wrong, I loved the beginning and from episode 11 onwards, it got better as things cleared up. But the story of the mystery part got draggy and boring in the middle of the drama. So, I have mixed feelings about this drama, I liked it, but I did not at the same time.
Also, comparing this drama to other school Thai dramas, I loved that they attempt to do a mystery and kind of dark one (not that much dark), instead of the usual idiotic ones that they have been doing lately.
I do love cute and fluffy dramas, but lately the school Thai dramas are being too idiotic and those sounds that are supposed to be comedic, I really hate them and it's too much. Also, if they did those sounds for straight couples’ dramas as well, I would hate them as well.
Moreover, I loved all the couples, Akk and Ayan + Khan and Thua <3 They were all so cute together! I loved their chemistry, and their relationships were so adorable and healthy <3 They kept me on watching this drama honestly.
Btw, I cannot understand why people are comparing this drama to KinnPorsche, Manner of Death or Not Me when those dramas are mostly 18+ (ok Not Me is 13+), they consist of characters that are adults that have lots of problems and have much more darker stories than The Eclipse. Moreover, the point of those dramas are toxic relationships.
Anyway, my conclusion is that this drama is not bad overall, I recommend it.
Loved it from the beginning till the end! <3 It is fun, energetic, comical, heartwarming and has lots of good messages ^_^
I enjoyed learning about how a manga book is created, the process involved, the people involved, the work side, some of the characters personal life and what they went through, etc.
We got to meet different characters of manga artists, the editors, the designers, the salespersons, the shop keepers, etc. Together they can create a manga and the world of stories for the readers to enjoy :D
I guess Tofu was there just to heal their wounds. 🥲Oh, the glasses. Normally I love glasses. But BL tends to…
Yeah I guess so, but I really wanted them to end up together. But anyway, I still loved the drama.
Yeah I agree. They could have given Gen better frames. I wear prescription glasses myself and I take some time to decide what suits me and not. They literally gave him the worst glasses frame I ever seen and did not suit him at all.
In the beginning the story was a bit confusing, but as the story went along it got better. I loved the acting and the chemistry of the couple. Plus, I'm glad they got to reunite in the real world ^_^
Finished! I enjoyed watching this drama. It's not the best ever, but it's not bad.
Yes, it had many cliche moments, draggy scenes, the script was questionable, some scenes were questionable and how some characters acted were not good (like Anda's brother was too much, like brother complex to stalker).
But, on the whole it was not bad. It was light, cute, fluffy, and enjoyable. Like you have to take this drama as it is and not too seriously. I also liked the cast, characters, couples, kiss scenes and the story.
For the ending, I loved it though Like honesty was the best thing for Anda and Ryou and they were accepted ^_^
The story had some dark, sad, and painful moments, but it had comedy and hilarious moments. For the story it is quite straightforward, and you can guess what will happen most of the time. It may not have the greatest twists, but I enjoyed the story, nonetheless.
I mostly loved the Gyesoo Village clinic family. Literally none of them are related to each other by blood, but they are the most beautiful family I have ever seen. I loved how they protected each other at all costs, are loyal to each other, smile, laugh, cry, fight, worry about each other and feel pain together. Literally what a family is. They are all quirky, but they all fit and are perfect together. I really loved them all <3
I know that there is a second season planned, but I loved how they concluded this season's story. I thought they would leave it as a cliffhanger and the villain would not be caught. But they caught the villains and everyone found out that the late king was poisoned and Physician Yoo's father was murdered as well. So that chapter is closed.
Yes, episode 12 ends by Seo Eun Woo and Physician Yoo getting separated once again and we kind of assume that it will be continued, but it gives you leeway not to watch the 2nd season or more exactly I am not dying of that much curiosity.
Honestly, I don't know what is going to happen in the second season if they will make it, but I mostly look forward to seeing Gyesoo Village clinic family and maybe Physician Yoo gets to propose to Seo Eun Woo.
Finished! I ended up watching this drama because of the bad reviews and so I got curious and watched this drama. Honestly, it's not the worst I have seen.
Yes, the script was at times bad, and some scenes got too long and draggy. Also, it had lots of dramatic moments (and the first place goes to Daonuea, he is a drama queen!). Some of the characters had a WTH mentality (like Nine, I could not understand why he did not leave Praew before he decided to go to the Production House to pursuit Daonuea + take his friend's Tee love interest / lover!).
Moreover, the editing and how some of the episodes were presented were not good. Like the 1st episode, I literally did not know what was happening exactly. I kind of got on track in the 2nd episode. I don't know if it's me that was slow, or I don't know.
Even the flashback moments were not presented properly. Then as the drama went along I kind of got used to the scenes when they wanted to show us the past and when it was the present day again. To be fair they did start writing it down as the story went along.
For the good parts. Honestly, the story on the whole wasn't bad. I liked the parts when they were working, the ads they do for products, photography, etc. I wished they could have showed us more. It would have been interesting.
Also, the acting on the whole was not bad. Yes, there were times, it felt fake, but it was not bad. Even the couples, they were all cute and I loved the kiss scenes and their interactions.
This drama is not the best ever, but it's not the worst. It's up to you whether to watch it or not.
This drama was crazy and it's not perfect, but I loved it! Honestly, there wasn't any point to this drama, but I enjoyed watching a roller coaster ride of the lives of these 3 women who are friends. It had hilarious moments and I laughed in moments when you shouldn't laugh, but I love black comedy so that's that.
For Chae Hee Soo, I really cried. She wished to be a simple housewife and a mother, but she did not get to have them. Then, to make it worse she had to be terminally ill.
Like her husband finally did something when he found out she was going to die. He may not have been the worst husband out of the 3 friends, but still he was frustrating and wanted to shake him by his collar. At least, she did get a good mother-in-law who appreciated her and her 2 friends. About her mother and brother that lived in San Francisco, that remained a mystery.
For Gong Ma Ri, she finally divorced her husband. I literally got excited and cheered for her. Like what's the point of staying with someone if he / she does not want you anymore. Like yeah, it's painful and hard, but it's better to divorce than be miserable and end up to the point you want to kill him / her.
Her husband, Lee Nak Goo was one of the worst husbands I ever saw. He deserved it all what happened to him. Like he had no shame at all. And his mistress, like WTH! She was worse!
For Yang Jin Ah and her husband. They were full of drama as well. At least they ended well with a daughter who was named after Chae Hee Soo.
Honestly, what I loved most in this drama was the sismance, friendship and sisterhood between the 3 women. They literally were there for each other, even to the point they assisted in attempted murder. You can say that since their husbands betrayed them in different ways, like lying, cheating, cheating in money, etc, they got to be loyal towards each other and be there for each other.
Anyway, on the whole I enjoyed this drama. Yes, it's not perfect, has annoying moments, draggy moments, etc, but it's worth checking it out. Well, if you love black comedy go for it and it's up to you whether to watch or not :)
I do not like shooting games at all, as like what's the point of just shooting (my opinion).
But it was interesting when they showed us inside the game and we see powerups, finding resources, how they work together, strategies, how they earn points, what happens in tournaments, types of guns, etc.
It was also interesting as well when we see behind the scenes of esports like the managers, sponsors, you need money to buy equipment, a place to train, live streaming, etc.
Moreover, we get to see that esports is like other sports as you need to train physically and mentally. You can also get injuries, etc.
I liked the costumes, the backgrounds of when they showed us inside the game, the cast, characters, and couples. I mostly loved the bromance; family feel and teamwork of the teams of SIK and JR.
Not bad on the whole. It's worth checking it out ^_^
A fun article and agree with the pros and cons :) But, I will always wait for a drama to finish before I start it. That's my cardinal rule that I follow at least for asian dramas.
If I lose interest while I wait for it to finish airing, that means I was never that interested in it in the first place. While, if a drama I really want to watch, I wait for it and start it immediately.
Like for example for Alchemy of Souls. I waited for 21st August to arrive and then they extended it by another week and I was like :'( But then I waited for it and binged watched it and loved it <3
I unexpectedly loved it! It took me 2 years to watch this drama and I was still reluctant to watch it.
I totally did not know what to watch + went with low expectations + I said whatever = I loved it. I laughed, I cried, I felt pain, I felt hopeful, felt lost, etc. It made me feel lots of emotions.
I mostly loved the story. I loved the tale about the Imoogi / Imugis / Korean dragon / a serpent. In this case, he could possess humans, bring diseases, read people's minds, etc, an evil being.
It was interesting and we got to learn about mountain spirits, totem spirits, nightmare spirits, spirit of darkness, other beings, ghosts, etc. It was also interesting about reincarnation, life, death, what happens after, the PowerPoint presentation was hilarious, the river, etc.
I also got invested in Nam Ji Ah finding her parents and she did find them thanks to the Lee Yeon and the others :D I totally did not guess that they would be in the cherry fruit. But it made sense since they were not dead, but not totally alive.
For the ending, I cried a lot. For Lee Yeon, I was hopeful that he would somehow return since he got to save the world from the Imoogi. But I did not want Lee Rang to be sacrificed though. That made me sad. Like he finally got to have a family on his own.
Although Lee Rang got a chance to be reincarnated or resurrected as a young boy and have a mother that loves him. So, it's kind of his wish of not being abandoned came true.
Literally, for the last few seconds of the last drama. We were told that Lee Yeon came back as a human. So why did his eyes glow? He's still a fox and lying? Or he's a human but kept his fox powers since he got resurrected with the fox bead? Or since he got resurrected, he made a deal to keep going after evil beings? They left that to our imagination.
Anyway, a happy ending to all characters and the world is safe.
I also loved the cast, characters, couples, family feel, etc.

It had more hilarious moments and the chemistry of our couple was still great.
For the ending, it was interesting and open-ended. Liang Wei Wei will do everything to protect Jing Qing, even at the cost of becoming a villain.
In the beginning the story was a bit confusing, but as the story went along it got better. I loved the acting and the chemistry of the couple. Plus, I'm glad they got to reunite in the real world ^_^
Off to see the second season.
Yes, it had many cliche moments, draggy scenes, the script was questionable, some scenes were questionable and how some characters acted were not good (like Anda's brother was too much, like brother complex to stalker).
