A great series with elements of the supernatural, romance and some serious action. I've been planning to watch it for a long time and I'm glad I finally got into to it. I finished it in less than 2 weeks and I have to say I'm extremely satisfied.
I would say it's kinda a slow burn, so don't expect one of them to be head over heels in love right away, that will come over time.
Furthermore, it's really full of ghosts, who are portrayed in such a way that I was really scared several times :D (you also have jump scares, so to speak).
I also have to say that I love the relationships between all the characters, whether romantic or friendly (although one character annoyed me until the very end :D an unnamed cop eh eh). Anyway, I liked most of the characters and I enjoyed the series much better than I expected. I know that it was already well rated last year, but I was still a little afraid of it. And honestly, I didn't need to, because every actor in this series can act really amazingly. The whole thing is really well-crafted and I think this wasn't the last time I watched the series. I recommend it to all lovers of horror movies with action and some real romance (Don't expect any crazy 15+ scenes, they aren't there)

Peach and me is a 4-episode continuation to the series Me and Thee (I would say it's quite important to watch the main series to get a better idea) and I'll tell you that in my opinion this was much better than Me and Thee.
Again and again I laughed out loud and this time we have a new supporting character in the story as another bodyguard, wink wink. (No spoilers, don't worry).
In this story, we focus more on Peach and Thee's relationship, and we also focus more on Romeo and Mok (although I think they were there briefly, which is a shame because I really enjoyed their parts :( the same thing every time Perth and Santa showed up).
I also really liked how cute it was made. It was really exactly those 4 episodes that you will say aww every time. I especially have to mention the change of actors at the end, it was great. I didn't think they would put so many gmmtv actors in one episode, but
I was very happy to see them there.
I think the series is great for beating boredom and if you really want to laugh. Don't expect some serious mafia romance, it's more of a cute comedy where you'll really fall in love with the characters and you'll have something to do to keep from crying at the REAL END (in my case I already miss them hahaha)

So I only got around to finishing it now and I have to say that I'm extremely satisfied. The series caught my attention just from the trailer and I'm glad that the first episode gave me a reason to keep watching it. Even before some of the episodes were released, I watched it twice and as I said, I only finished it now due to lack of time
I love the way it's done. I couldn't stop laughing from the beginning and JJ played his part really amazingly (as did the other actors). I also think Kim stole the scene the most because from what I watched, everyone from him and Latte were done (no wonder, Kim is gorgeous and their chemistry with Latte is amazing, they deserve a proper series where they play the main roles).
As for the rest of the series, I have nothing to criticize. The endings are nice and always fit into every situation and make it more emotional than it originally is (I won't lie, I had tears in my eyes at the end). We also had a few surprises, a plot twist and some really sweet scenes at the end. I think that Love Upon a Time deserves a much bigger response because it's really well-crafted and thought out. I really liked the series and I recommend it to all lovers of BLS, history, reincarnation and especially romance.
I can officially rate it as one of my fav BLS.

I was honestly afraid that I wouldn't enjoy it at all, but I was extremely hooked from the beginning (which is surprising). At the beginning, it was so interesting, mysterious and breathtaking that I didn't need to lower the rating (plus my Boun appeared there, my love). But after a while, when the mysteries started to unravel, we came to solutions and new mysteries appeared, it seemed so overly complicated and secretive that I simply had to take one star off the rating. At the same time, it could have ended so beautifully if it hadn't gotten so unnecessarily complicated. But that's just my personal opinion, otherwise I think that the mood of the story itself was original and it was brilliantly crafted. Even the characters were each original (which I was happy about) and each had an important role in the series, so they weren't completely unnecessary.

I recommend the series to all lovers of detective stories and thrillers. It's the perfect one for you, even if it gets a little more confusing towards the end.

I started watching the series as soon as it came out, but I only finished it today (shame on me). I have to say, though, that I don't understand why I didn't watch it right away, because the cast is legendary, the OSTs are great, and the whole drama left me with several memories, both good and bad. I'm really excited about the series. I haven't seen many historical cdramas (probably not a single ig and most of the ones I came across weren't fun), but this one is a banger. It's really well-made and has an amazing atmosphere. Overall, it looks terribly aesthetic, because there are colors everywhere (especially Ester's clothes, which are always absolutely great) as is the case in "color games" we know. Anyways, I think the series deserves a lot more attention, it has 32 episodes, so you have 32 episodes unforgettable experiences. The actors played it amazingly, so much so that I even cried a few times (of course that wouldn't be me haha) and for lovers of romance, historical cdramas and the supernatural, it's the right thing to do, I can only recommend it

The series mainly interested me because of how it deals with mental health and the fact that the main character works in a psychiatric hospital says it all. And voila, I finally finished watching it and I have mixed feelings about it so far. I laughed a lot, empathized with the characters and even cried a little at times. I am so glad that the series also shows the other perspective of the patients and not just what we see from the perspective of the main character or the supporting characters. I also really liked how the characters were played and I was totally blown away by our famous Go Moon-young, who was an original character with an original style of dressing, humor and emotions (whether it was love or obsession). I also appreciate the way Kang-tae's brother was played, which must have taken a lot of effort and I stared at it with my mouth wide open. And the art side!? Hello?! Illustrations, fairy-tale motifs, atmosphere. The overall idea of the series was original and incredibly beautifully crafted. Not to mention how mental health is discussed there and something was explained every time. I love it. So if you are a fan of series about love, mental health and a bit of family and drama, this is exactly for you. I am extremely satisfied and I recommend the series with a smile!

One of the Japanese series that won my heart right away. I won't lie, I was a little scared at first because a lot of people told me how romantic J-dramas look and that they're mostly a disaster (I couldn't judge, I guess I haven't seen romantic J-dramas to begin with), but I was really pleasantly surprised and excited. The series is really beautifully done, not to mention the great songs! I also really like how it shows the real work of the singers, how they carry it all, how demanding the work can be and how much it depends on the other members of the band or staff, that it's not just about the main singer. I also have to mention that I cried like a little child during one unpleasant scene when they were waiting for the performance (we won't mention it, no spoilers) and even at the very end, when I cried through the entire last episode. I really didn't believe that a 10-episode series would grab my heart like this, but it did and I really didn't know how to move on. Maybe that's why it took me so long to write a review. But now I'm finally writing it, I remember the series with a smile and I recommend it to all lovers of romance, friendship and music. I think that this series will 100% be among the top jdramas of the year. Definitely don't miss it and give it a chance, it's worth it❤

Honestly, I only wanted to watch it because it stars Boun and a few other of my favorite actors and I definitely don't regret doing it and making that decision. I expected it to be just a 7-episode zombie slog and I feared the worst, and for no reason. The whole series was brilliant. The zombies looked so incredibly realistic that I was speechless at how much I was blown away by it. Not to mention the acting, which added even more spice to it and I wonder why this series isn't talked about enough? This is truly a masterpiece and even though I said after Khemjira that Thais probably won't be that bad at making horror movies, I shouldn't have said probably, but DEFINITELY because this is truly a masterpiece and it will be one of my next favorite series. It's really wonderfully crafted and even more wonderfully acted. I hope there are more series like this that will make me unable to keep my mouth shut and I'll be blown away and that we'll see another season because like the ending? I NEED SEASON 2 ASAP!!!

One of my first cdramas that I will never forget and also one of the first series that I allowed myself to rewatch. When I found out that I didn't have a review for this gem yet, I had to fix it right away and now. Jiaxu and Sang Zhi won my heart in the first episode without having to try, the same with Sang Yan (who also managed to do it in First Frost Imao). I don't regret the day I watched the series, but I regret finishing it and then drowning in tears that this masterpiece ended. As I already wrote, it's one of the dramas that I've watched for the second time, which is a miracle because I don't normally do something like that haha and I laughed, cried and cursed again. I love Hidden Love and all the spin offs connected to it. I love the main characters and the supporting ones, played by actors on the 1st. I love the story itself and the OST, which added a touch of spice to it. I love the whole Hidden Love thing and applaud those who put so much work into it because this masterpiece is worth watching. I said it in 2023, I'm still saying it in 2025.

I actually knew a little about it from my sister and a friend who recommended it to us in the BL group as an amazing bromance. I said to myself why not and I don't regret it. I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy it and that it wouldn't be that well-made, but I was afraid for nothing. The cast was legendary and so was the acting of the actors, who were mega skilled. The whole idea of the story was original and I really liked it. The same processing. I would never have thought in my life that the Chinese could do something like this, just wow. I cried several times there and I'm honestly still crying because the ending completely got to me. First of all, how it ended and secondly, that it ended. If I could, I would like to see it again for the first time. This is such a masterpiece that deserves more attention! I recommend it endlessly. Believe me, you won't be disappointed, because it will grab you right from the start and you won't want to take your eyes off it! And to be honest? I haven't seen such a nice series like the Spirealm in a long time and it has to be stopped. I really applaud everyone who participated in the series, I'm going to cry again that it's over. I miss everyone already, oh yeah.

Honestly, I sometimes wondered if I should give it an 8/10 or a 9/10 (ESPECIALLY FOR SO FEW EPISODES, DAMN), but in the end I decided like this and I think that this is exactly the rating the series deserves. As soon as it started, I was thinking about watching it right away (especially because Dongwook is in it lol), but I only got around to it now and I don't regret it. It's awesome! It was really great and I enjoyed every second of it. The cast was amazing, the plot was amazing (even though I got confused a few times whether we were in the present or the past) and most of all I liked how they told us what and how it happened and how Dongwook met the other characters using the past (and then everything started to make more sense and it was like, AHA). It was really amazing and I can only recommend it and pray that they make another series for us as soon as possible (they say it should be, so we'll see)

Ngl, I've probably never been so tense and tearful in my life as I was with this kdrama. Ofc I was rooting for everyone and it could have turned out differently for everyone (for God's sake), but in the end I think it was probably just supposed to be that way...Even though I cried quite a bit haha. Anyway, I can't forget to mention the amazingly elaborate plot, the relationships and feelings of the characters and the overall idea. It's really a mega elaborate kdrama that's worth watching! I recommend it and I'm excited haha! Now all I can do is wait and pray for the second season of I CANNOT WAAAIT

A Kdrama that I was really interested in and I have to say that my brain was going at full speed + so I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that I was smoking. Yes, I thought about it that much. It was kinda funny that I said something just for fun and then it was still true. I honestly think that those who don't try to be detectives like me will be totally screwed, in shock and everything as soon as a huge plot twist appears. Anyway, there were moments that I really didn't expect and my mouth was slowly opening wide with how finished I was. I was also quite mean at times, but it helped me a lot to keep track of the children's numbers, so focus on them, but not too much so that the whole plot doesn't escape your eyes. It was really crazy and for me one of the best detective stories I've seen in my entire life. There were also funny moments when I was really holding my breath or on the contrary, angry and wanted that one particular character to just die or go crazy. Of course, there were also those touching moments that should not be missing in any series haha and I was really close to the edge. But what made me cry was the last episode about halfway through and then I couldn't stop. I don't know what moved me more, what a certain person did for the victims, the murderer's confession and his speech, or the ending itself, which I won't tell you xd. This was just really crazy sad. I actually started crying more than I did in rookie cops, where my fav character died (thank you xd). Seriously, it was brilliantly done for me and I think more people should know about it because it really deserves more recognition than it has now. It was really crazy and sad and I'm starting to run out of words because the I can't find the right one haha. But I seriously recommend it and I don't regret that I was able to see it (but I won't do it a second time XD).

I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it that much, so I was quite surprised when I was so hooked. Unfortunately, the series only has 8 episodes, which is probably the only thing that really annoys me, because it was great and I have nothing to complain about. I also admit that I cried like a little child during a few parts and wanted someone to finally beat up the villain, because it was getting extremely nerve-wracking. Anyway, the actors did a great job and I liked the characters so much that I actually screamed like a little child (sorry, for repeating myself, but it's real). I definitely recommend it to everyone, even if it's not your genre.
