Awww, that was such a unique and fun watch that I'm sure will stick with me for a long, long time. I don't think I've ever been this attached to characters as much as I am with these ones here.

The beginning started off really strong, but of course, with 40 episodes, there were some boring parts. I always thought about skipping some episodes but I'm so glad I didn't, because they all add up to the ending. The stories were always ridiculous and weird, but were always fun and had a much deeper meaning than the surface. I laughed my butt off!! It's was so funny and wild, but I LOVE THAT. There were times when I just wanted to smack some of the characters for their actions, but I guess that's what make it so real. There was some amazing characters development as well, and made me feel as though I grew up with these characters. There were some characters that didn't really have a proper closure (cuz this is Zhongji and chances are they're planning a sequel and all) which I would've like to see. Everything about the ending was just unexpected and all over the place, but that's how it messed with my heart the most. The couples that we spent 40 episodes watching didn't really make any progress, which was a shame, honestly.

The music was just.... so amazing. The beginning theme is fun and wild (i love me some SpeXial) and the ending theme is perfect as well (Diana's voice is so precious!). As well, there were more than those two tracks, and I still loved them! Cheers to whoever edited the music, cuz it fit all the story lines and scenes so well. The instrumental tracks added suspense, action, sweetness, and sadness. I wouldn't watch the music any other way.

Again, 40 episodes is a big commitment, so I don't think i would watch the entire drama again, but definitely different parts of it, like all the cute romantic parts, or some episodes that stood out to me. But, I'll definitely be recommending it to my drama friends, especially those that watched X-Family.

And here I am, writing this review, wiping the tears away from my eyes. Of course, this drama isn't perfect, but the ZhongJi series never fails to rip my heart out, and this one did just that.

lacks in comparison to s2 imo

i started watching this on a whim earlier this week after watching s2 sometime in 2020. i did know the major spoiler going into this drama, but i really loved mumu x yizhou from s2 so i thought i would give this a go. i ended up skimming through most of the second half (anything after chu yan getting kidnapped and yizhou's mom and stepbro getting more screen time). mumu and yizhou were still adorable ofc but i don't think they tugged at my heartstrings as much as they did in the second season. this drama really put through them everything tho, from amnesia, getting shot and being in a coma, getting kidnapped several times, etc. the highlight of the drama for me was chu yan's development - specifically him developing feelings for xia lin, i didn't care for chu yan in second 2 that much, but he's such a baby here ahh. and xia lin and jia fei being convinced for like 1/2 the drama that yi zhou is gay and there's a love triangle b/w him, wen li and chu yan. oh i also love wen li as usual, tho i think there was better development b/w him and jia fei in the second season also. the villains here were super obvious from the get go, and def went to more extreme lengths compared to the s2 villains. pi dan deserved more screen time. overall: s2 > s1 anyday lol but still a fun time!

The sweetness of the main leads almost gave me diabetes

Decided to pick this up on a whim because I'm a big fan of both of the main leads (Amy from The Eternal Love, and Eden from his days in SpeXial and from The Day of Becoming You). While I felt like the first episode was a bit weak and made it hard for me to picture liking the two leads together, I genuinely fell in love with this drama and had such a good time watching it! It's so so cliche, but nonetheless such an adorable watch. Despite being full of tropes, I'm also thankful it didn't include a lot of the more unlikeable tropes in dramaland (e.g. parents that oppose of the lead's relationship, intense second lead syndrome).

Gu Chen Yu and Xia Xiao Ning were so flippin' adorable. Despite some hiccups in their relationship, they were always open with each other, and genuinely felt like an old married couple. They got together quite early on, and didn't have any dumb breakup due to misunderstandings like other dramas. Their chemistry felt super natural, and Amy and Eden def delivered a satisfying amount of fan service haha. One of my new fav CPs in dramaland!

The story of the secondary couple was def more just for jokes, but they were also super fun to watch. Their characters were a little more animated, and they went through some wild shenanigans, but also quite cute too!!

In general, the story was not super plot driven or intense. At Pineapple FM, the main focus was on Lethe, which is the connecting storyline drawing all the characters together. However, I actually really liked that it was more simple, and focused more on character development rather than fitting in as many storylines as they could. Some episodes were definitely fillers, but I still enjoyed watching them just as much!

Hao Yan Ran was ofc, in typical drama manner, evil and pathetic. Even after being called out, she still displays victim mentality and had no redeeming qualities. My main complaint is that Chen Yu should have fired her earlier (along with her assistant Luo Li - like why was she so invested in other people's personal business???). I also expected Chen Yu to call out the people gossiping about Xia Xiao Ning, but otherwise, he was a great character!

Overall, I would def recommend this if you're looking for a light watch that will make you giggle like a 5 yr old, and cheer you up on a bad day! Will definitely be checking out more works from the main leads!

Super fluffy, cute, feel-good!

I started this on a whim because I kept seeing ads for it on YouTube and heard AvenueX talk about it, and I just couldn't resist the cute kid lol. This drama is full of cliches and tropes, but was still super enjoyable, which led me to quickly binge it just within a few days! The plot is nothing super special, and most of the drama was definitely predictable, but it still had its own charm that made it super fun to watch. For the most parts, I found the main leads to be likeable and rational, and their love story unfolded nicely. Xiao Bao is truly the star though, I must say haha (highlights: him shooting his laser gun thing at his dad, him saying mom for the first time!, him in his wilderness exploring outfit where he matched with his dad, him drawing on his dad, literally all Xiao Bao moments). Every scene he was in, I was smiling like an idiot. I must say, I didn't really care for any of the supporting cast too much, but didn't mind watching them either lol. The ending felt a bit rushed to much (as with most Chinese dramas smh), but I didn't mind too much. The BTS of the drama is super fun and cute to watch, and you can tell everyone on set had a great time making it, which definitely shows. I've also had the OST on loop for this whole week while working and it's honestly so good, prob one of my fav all time OSTs! Too bad it isn't on Spotify :(

One of the best couples + main actors I've seen

heads up: my reviews are all over the place and usually make no sense. you've been warned.

started this on a whim last week and immediately fell in love! the first few episodes were really fast paced and set up all the characters really nicely. it had such a lighthearted feel and that's exactly what i love. fan xiaojing is the ultimate shipper and i thank her so much for pushing ya nuo into zi feng at feng jie's party ahhh that was so cute!! i think i was really hooked in after ya nuo was locked up on the rooftop and zi feng basically risked his life just to be next to her. what can i say, i'm a sucker for near death experiences that bring our main leads closer together. i was so so impressed by the acting and chemistry between megan and baron and am so sad to know they're not dating irl lol. megan definitely 100% deserved best actress at the sanlih drama awards!! their development as a couple kept me on my seat anxiously waiting for them to freaking get together. i actually had audible gasps during some of their scenes because they were just so good. they're such a healthy couple that really go through thick and thin without having any problems. they're there for each other no matter what and had so many damn cute scenes (thank u writers!!).

when i first started watching, i thought ya nuo's 26th would be like the halfway point of the drama and cause some sort of misunderstanding between the main leads, yadda yadda yadda but i was so glad that wasn't the case. i do have to say that 100 days of knowing someone (and dating for even less) is kinda rushing marriage but ya nuo and zi feng are honestly meant to be together so it's okay.

like some other people touched on, there really isn't a plot going on lol, which i didn't really mind tbh. there were a lot of sideplots, but none of them really interested me besides maybe nana and her sickness + nana and her dad, i really only cared for the fluff and cuteness from our couples + jiu bi. i didn't care for the mafia thing at all, literally how could there be any other suspects asides from hansheng lol he was just a horrible antagonist and i skipped most of his scenes whoops. same goes for the missing dad + amnesia storyline. it was kinda pointless to me. tho again, the actors were so amazing for their roles, especially since baron's dad was actually a mafia gang leader????!?!?!?

du zi feng is one of the best male leads i've seen in awhile. he's not a jerk, he values friends and family, is honest with his SO, and they handled him liking a "guy" really well. he really didn't try to deny feelings for pi ya nuo even tho he thought she was a guy at the time, and just accepted his feelings. he's also so so handsome ahhhh.

even tho only four songs really played in the background, they were all bops and i have them all on spotify (except for this one upbeat bii song that i need to hunt down). speaking of bii, where was qing yang sleeping during the camping trip? he was supposed to share a tent with zi feng but he wasn't there at all? also i wasn't a big fan of the main leads knowing each other from before with the hairclip and stuff but this is SETTV so i shoulda expected it.

having more mature actors also meant amazing kissing scenes!

zhe rui's character was honestly so bland and a disappointing and he doesn't really deserve to be on the main cover photo lol someone replace him with nana. i love sean lee and jiu bi but there was no second lead syndrome at all.

overall, objectively, it really wasn't the most interesting drama and there wasn't really a plot lol, but to me, especially after watching all the behind the scenes, i'm so in love with (most of) the characters and i already miss ya nuo x zi feng.

thoughts on introverted boss:

I really don't know how to feel about this drama. I know I enjoyed it, but was left feeling a little meh at the end. It wasn't a bad ending; all my questions were answered and everything fot resolved. But still, for some reason, I feel a bit iffy in my heart, idk it might just be me going insane from being stuck inside all day every day lol.

Storyline

This is my first time watching a drama with this storyline. It's unique, both in the social anxiety aspect as well as the female lead plotting revenge. I loved loved LOVED the heart felt stories, mainly regarding the stuffed panda and Yoo Hee and her kids. I didn't know it would be so melodramatic though. Definitely TW for those sensitive to suicide. It was tough to watch and also a but frustrating. I was reading other posts that talk about how Ji Hye doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide without leaving something behind for her family. She was very family orientated and all around quite happy, so her suicide was very sudden and I wished they touched on it more. Idk if episode 5 was a smart idea or one that revealed everything too soon. It was nice to know what happened, but it became redundant with the flashbacks. I think that, while a good attempt, the writers dealt with social anxiety and suicide quite poorly. There was a lot of forcing oneself to change by the supporting characters at first, which was annoying at times. Depression was also dealt with poorly (sleeping it off, not seeing a therapist???) I did not really care for a lot of the side stories, namely Il Woo and Yi Soo's toxic relationship and Hwan Gi and his dad. I loved the main characters but really hated it that they made Ji Hye like Hwan Gi too. These two buttercups already had to go through so much to be together and that was just the cherry on top. Idk, I ended up skipping some parts or just zoning out in the middle of episodes.

Characters

I loved loved and absolutely adored our main leads. Legit attacking everyone who found Ro Woon annoying, I think she was fabulous all the way through. Quirky, lovable, not afraid to stand up for herself, but understandably going through a rough time. I loved how they talked about how she's always so happy that by the end of the day, she is exhausted. I felt that to be so relatable. The main lead was one I have never seen. I got so much second hand embarrassment watching him in the first few episodes but grew to love him for him. Again, did not care or like most of the other characters, especially Il Woo and Yi Soo and that reporter dude. The only members of Silent Monster I cared for was Yoo Hee and Gyo Ri.

Things I liked!

Bomb dot com ost. So so good. Not a single song I don't like.

Great chemistry! Actual good kiss scenes! Very adorable guitar playing and dancing. Def needed more of this.

The development between Ro Woon and her dad. Very touching.

So yeah, def enjoyable but also difficult to describe how I feel.

Warning: I am writing this review at 2am after just finishing the drama so my thoughts are all over the place. Read at your own discretion.

This drama, despite not being very plot-driven, was very addicting. At first, I wasn't the biggest fan of Xing Yun (especially the horrible wig and hairstyle they gave her character....), but over time, I fell in love with all the characters, especially Xing Yun, who was strong and trusted Xia Ke, unlike other female leads I have seen. I love the aspect of having three different couples, all with different circumstances, but all very adorable. I would've liked for them to keep us updated with Chu Nan and Shen Qing's relationship, which I found super super adorable, but felt that they got shoved aside after the first ten episodes. Yao Qing and He Yu were also a tad rushed. Xia Ke and Xing Yun were so flipping adorable, and while there was an abundance of cute scenes, I did feel that they did not have as much chemistry as other couples I've seen. So many eye-candies!!!!

The plot is nothing too new. Typical CEO and office worker relationship and storyline. I liked how both leads eventually came to realize their love for one another, and even though it took them 3247239847 years to get together, it felt like a very natural progression. The plot picked up quite quickly, but unfortunately, there were also typical annoying drama tropes thrown in within the last episode (annoying ex-girlfriend, poor communication skills b/w the main couple, family business conflicts, etc.).

I'm overall satisfied with the ending and left the drama smiling. Actually, I was probably smiling through 95% of this drama, it was just so lighthearted and adorable.

I would definitely give this a go if you like cute and lighthearted dramas. I was looking for something to mend the hole left in my heart from Put Your Head on my Shoulders, and I think this did the trick!! <3 <3 <3

Just finished watching this, and for some reason, while I thoroughly enjoyed it, I guess I expected more with all the hype. (That, and the previous j-movie i watched was Orange so like...pretty high standards lawl.) The story is quite predictable for those who have seen a lot of romance live actions before, but nonetheless, it was a fun watch. I absolutely adored the music aspect and the "music is freedom" vibe because as a musician myself, I couldn't think of a better way to phrase that. Very similar storyline to Koizora, in my opinion.

Loved the casting!! Most of the cast are actual teenagers, making the story more believable, and they all brought their own little charm to the screen. Our two main leads did a phenomenal job with making their characters three dimensional, and I felt very connected to both of them, though did feel they lacked a bit of chemistry. The two main leads spent half a year training before filming to look more professional with the instruments, so I really appreciate their dedication!

Ahhh the music was great. The instrumental pieces were perfect (as usual for j-movies), and the songs really set the vibe for the film. The soundtrack wasn't a huge piece for the movie, though did add nice accompaniment at times.

Overall, a great way to spend an afternoon, but not something that absolutely blew my mind.

An incredible 9 episodes that will leave you wanting more, yet leave you feeling extremely satisfied with the results. I wasn't such a huge fan of LIAR GAME but I decided to give LIAR GAME 2 a shot since I was curious on how the story will end up. This time around, I'm seriously obsessed with this show.

While only 2 rounds were played throughout this drama, they were both extremely riveting and interesting. I'm not sure if they themselves were intriguing or perhaps it was how it was played out by the characters.

I love seeing Nao, Akiyama and Fukunagi return, stronger than ever. While the stay true to their character, you can really see how much they've grown within the 2 year gap period. Not only was the character development great, but their relationship as the three musketeers (or you can say the amazing duo and the funny sidekick). Their bond was unbreakable despite all the risk. They brought such amazing qualities to the plate that made the drama felt complete. Gold tooth guy and mysterious worker girl were mysterious and creepy as ever, but they added the tension to the story that kept me intrigued. We're also introduced to new characters that don't seem to make an appearance in the Final Stage, but I loved their stories equally as much.

I read a review previously about how much they loved the music so I started paying more attention to it this time around. I can honestly say that the OST is the most unique but underrated thing you can find. it's thrilling, sort of like video game music. It makes the game more lively and spontaneities and adds a sense of "what the heck?" to the drama, which is what you're supposed to feel when watching.

All in all, LIAR GAME 2 was hella epic and one of my new favourites. I cannot wait to see how The Final Stage ties it all together.

Originally, I had this at an 8.5 rating, but after watching the last few episodes, it just didn't deserve the .5 anymore. I was really enjoying it up until around the 10th or 11th episode: it was funny, cute, lighthearted, and all around enjoyable. We had some fun loving characters with their equally, if not better, loving families. Then a bunch of random things that happened that didn't need to happen happened... which threw it off track. Then came constant crying and constant wrist grabbing and constant, "i like you's" thrown back and forth until i didn't want to hear it anymore. Characters I once loved became annoying, and everything turned into a hot mess. BUT i was attached to the characters, so I still ended up finishing it. At the end of the day, I stopped caring about who she ended up with, and would've preferred if she didn't end up with anyone.

I haven't finished a drama (tried like three or four times but never got past a few episodes) for almost a year now, and this was such a great drama to get me out of my slump. I started watching it on a whim earlier this week and have finished it several days later. I was smiling throughout the entire show and will probably stay obsessed for the next few months!

Right off the bat, the main couple is so friggin' adorable. I like that it took them a long time to get together and I'm really happy with all their cute moments and adorable height difference. I love their family with Circle and their little quarrels that make them look either like five year olds (*cough cough* watermelon eating contest) or an old married couple (arguing over getting a dishwasher). I do have to admit that I liked their romance a lot more before they were together. There was a lot of anticipation of waiting for them to get together, but when they did, I found that they had more issues that never ended up getting resolved. It was always one of them being annoyed or angry with the other and them never properly dealing with the issue. Si Tu Mo started bothering me during the last five episodes, but nonetheless, one of my top OTPs for sure! I also really do like Fu Pei and Shan Shan, and sometimes felt their romance was better than the main couple (they actually talked through their issues and resolved them!!). I also do wish we got a proper wedding ceremony (everything that happened in Germany felt so rushed and i didn't like how they were pressured into settling down by their parents).

There are definitely some loose ends that I would've liked to see resolved (Senior's crush on Gu Wei Yi deserved some ending...she could've ended up with Zhou Lei, and that handsome celebrity guy never really got justice either).

I like the mini storylines also. Si Tu Mo's struggle with finding a job she feels content with. Si Tu Mo and Fu Pei's relationship. Gu Wei Yi standing up to Senior Lu and defending Fu Pei. The friendships were overall also very cute.

It was one of those dramas that I could not stop thinking about and got me all jittery when watching it. It definitely gives me Good Morning Call vibes (but with a ML with more character) and I'm gonna be recommending this drama to everyone for like the next year.

PLEASE GIVE US A SEASON 2!!!

A Quick, Fun, and Addicting Watch!

heads up: these are just all my thoughts compiled in a big mess right after i've finished watching this drama!

omg okay. i'm such a sucker for time-traveling/time manipulation and this had my beautiful boy lego li and my new love greg hsu so ofc i picked it up and it was a wild ride, lemme tell you. the first episode was prob one of the best first episodes i've ever watched. cinematography and story set-up was on-point! even though it is a mystery/fantasy (wish they delved a little more into this), it was still so lighthearted and absolutely had my dying of laughter from the two leads' shenanigans. i think they switched between both timelines really well and everything blended nicely together. seeing zhen yu and jia le slowly fall in love and look forward to 10:06 each night melted my heart. they also did such a good job with promoting subway lol i was craving it after every episode. the mystery was definitely interesting to begin with. while i didn't care much for xiao wei's case, it was a great use of foreshadowing.

the romance was so so cute, but i wish we had way more. when you're limited to only 46 minutes a night, it made it hard to fully explore zhen yu and jia le's relationship, especially when most of that time was spent solving the case and gathering clues. their chemistry was amazing and i love them but just wanted to see more of them together. (this is a personal note, but i also wished they talked more about what the heck happened with the two zhen yu's and the flying horse? especially at the end when he woke up. why did the merging suddenly happen again? or was that just the awoken zhen yu who filled the fridge? overall, me sorta confused and felt that even though it's the same memories, past zhen yu was different than future zhen yu).

character development. this drama had such complex and rich characters tho i must say half of these people are psychopaths lowkey. interestingly enough, the main leads are the only normal ones/didn't get as much development. man, i really loved da jun and honestly knew there was going to be a storyline with him based off the intro, but damn, why did he have to be a bad guy :(((( after knowing the crime he committed, i couldn't feel for him and was just waiting for him to get arrested. the storyline regarding him and zhen yu's dad was also kinda rushed and felt thrown in last minute. i was still SHOOK to the core when da jun's twist were revealed and that he basically planted the fabricated evidence. poor zhen yu trusted him and brought him into the past, only for him to try to save himself from getting caught smh. i still love greg tho and his cute curly hair. i would've loved to see more of what the wall in his house was about or what his passcode was? i read pseudo incest in the taglist and there was a hint towards something in the intro, but it took awhile to reveal more about han wen and ji rou's relationship, which was toxic asf and kinda frightening. i loved loved the use of the cigarette butt tho and how that managed to change the case around. they also never addressed what happened to han wen at the end? like sure, he got arrested probably but what else? also rip ji rou still thinking she's a highschooler but i'm glad she basically gets a fresh start. i also had a soft spot for her and she deserves better than cheng hao and han wen. i loved loved the other supporting characters, and wished they got more screen time/better story arcs, including wen-ge (yay he got a girlfriend tho!!!), man man, and the lady for the restaurant (her interactions with zhen yu were amazing). poor mu si ming was really just there to be the second lead huh. he otherwise got little to no development and deserved so much more.

i've seen dramas or have heard of pretty much the entire main cast, so i wasn't surprised at how amazing their acting was! special s/o to aggie hsieh for doing all of ji rou's many many crying scenes so amazingly. greg hsu manages to play both the innocent, cute, internet cafe owner, and also the psychopathic killer. overall, big applause all around to the entire cast.

even though the drama breezed through, i really do think it could've been like 2 or 3 episodes shorter. cheng hao's case ended up dragging on, especially once we found out about the pseudo incest and han wen via the cigarette butt. the last two episodes had too much unnecessary drama (holding jia le captive, zhen yu's coma, etc.). we only got a happy ending like with 10 minutes left of the drama, which was disappointing. they suddenly threw in a girlfriend for mu si ming when they could've built up that storyline from earlier on to make it less random. the writers really decided to just pull out all the wildest stunts into the last half and stress all the viewers out lol. in particular, i felt it was so unnecessary to have the storyline with zhen yu's dad being killed on-duty protecting jia le and was glad they didn't stretch it out or make a big deal out of it. i get they're trying to explain the connection of the flying horse for zhen yu and jia le but that just made me unnecessarily sad.

overall, such a fun and addicting watch. tempted to watch love @ seventeen next cuz i already miss lego x nikki pairing. this is an underrated drama that netflix should pick up because i had to suffer through it getting stuck every 5 seconds of dramacool or watching half the episode at 140p on dailymotion lol.

I went into this film not knowing much, but came out actually enjoying it! I'm not too big into horror or gory things, but thankfully 4th Period Mystery had just enough to keep the film thrilling without scaring the crap outta me. The story took a while to get rolling, but when it did, it was well paced and pretty darn epic. I wish we got a more sneak peak into the characters and their backstories, which were quite rushed, but I guess you can't do too much in such a short period of time. There wasn't much character development either, but the cast did a phenomenal job in making their characters stand out. Our 3 protagonists were all likeable, whereas the antagonists were not, which is how they should be lol. The music was hella intense and was perfect for all the suspense. Overall, a quick enjoyable watch for a Friday night.

Oh gosh this drama was such a delight to watch, especially during the point of the school year where I feel absolutely no motivation to do any work, ahaha. This drama gave me SO MANY FREAKING FEELS, MADE ME CRY MORE THAN I SHOULD'VE, MADE ME SQUEAL AND SCREAM and it just had everything a great drama should! Our main OTP had great chemistry and all the characters were so unique and made the story so different, whether they were bringing suspense, humour or their handsome looks lol.

I will admit that sometimes it felt like it took way to long for the plot to get somewhere, but I didn't mind to be honest. Unless you're really picky, I don't think you would notice this flaw.

The acting was top-notch and spot on. I don't think Park Bo Young could've done a better job as the protagonist than she already did. I was so satisfied with everyone's performance and their acting capabilities. Sometimes it went so bizarre and crazy but they played it off with their characters really well. I do wish, however, that certain characters would have more development or back story to them, particularly the brother and Gook Du's girlfriend.

The music I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW CATCHY ALL THE SONGS ARE and the enhanced the scenes so well. I've been listening to the OST on repeat for days and haven't gotten sick of the songs yet, surprisingly.

I'm not one for rematching dramas, but I'll definitely be binge-watching FMVs on YouTube for the next few months or until my withdrawal goes away!

Quarantine has been such a dump on me and most people too, but I feel that 2gether not only brought together a community of watchers, but also brought a lot of light and happiness during this time. As my first BL, it was so refreshing and fun and I loved loved loved all the characters. Whether it was our beautiful main leads, the comedic friends, the side love interests, the music club members, everyone (minus Pam). There was really great chemistry (almost to the end) and once the last part of the last episode is disregarded, this drama never failed to make me smile and hardcore fangirl after every episode. Such iconic lines, fun storylines and heartwarming moments. I'm not gonna lie, the last episode was really upsetting (happy with how Man and Type's storyline ended) and I don't really know what to say about it, but I'm so connected and love 2gether too much to let that change how I feel.
