This is a great fantasy thriller drama with a nice romantic storyline. The action scenes are fantastic and, for the most part, acting was done well. There could have been better chemistry between the leading couple but, overall, it was not too bad. The brothers Lee Yeon and Lee Rang’s story and interactions were the best part of this drama. Both actors did great bringing their characters to life. The supporting cast provided lots of funny moments to smooth the thriller moments in the drama and their storylines were interesting and engaging. The most baffled moment is Lee Rang’s unnecessary demise. In an effort to create a dramatic flair, the writer failed to take into consideration that Lee Yeon valued his brother’s life more than his own. It’s paradoxical to have to sacrifice a life for a life that has done the ultimate sacrifice to save his beloved. Although this drama brings about the theme of self sacrifice for a loved one, it is also a tale of obsession. It is disappointing that once one of the main characters reaches great character development and finds the true value of family, his life is seeing as less important and okay to be sacrificed to satisfy an underworld god’s greed and Nam Ji-A’s obsession. Now, the ending might seem confusing to some, but it is a very welcomed twist to the finale. The drama is entertaining, enjoy it!

This is a nice romantic comedy with a good dose of dramatic moments, some mystery, birth secret, misunderstandings, and a few antagonists but it is good that none of the issues are dragged for too long. Although the leading couple has good chemistry, it is more a playful chemistry of no consequence since their romantic moments lacked intensity and momentum. The drama's romantic line stayed simply cute and lovable. The drama tried to bring forth comedy but the storyline kept the tone more serious than funny. The romance developed slowly and it was centered more on flirting than real romance. If one can throw away expectations of a great romance, then this drama can be a nice and entertaining watch while waiting for a great one to come.

This is a very good romantic suspense drama. The plot is well developed and it is about a girl that has lost some of her memories and a guy with hyperthymesia, which isabout having the ability to remember abnormally large number of his life’s experiences in vivid detail and sentiment. The drama revolves around the leading couple’s meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and having to deal with the trauma of loosing someone they both loved on the hands of a psychopathic stalker. The plot develops slowly as it fleshes out characters and their relationship with each other. The romance is nice and subtle, but also steadfast and endearing. The lead couple has good chemistry and the actors performed their roles beautifully. The drama has other side relationships that flow nicely into the plot. Moon Ga Young as Yeo Ha Jin and Kim Seul Gi as her sister and manager Yeo Ha Kyung rendered their characters fantastically with their strong support, care, and love for each other. Although not a perfect drama, especially because the writer(s) felt compelled to throw in some unnecessary clichés, it’s still very entertaining. Enjoy it!

This is a romance drama mixed with the usual problems of large corporate governance, birth secret, revenge, betrayal, and misunderstandings. Although the drama is supposed to be a romantic comedy, the funny moments are mostly provided by the hostel extravagant trio and Dough, the little girl. There is an intended love triangle that is more cumbersome than romantic involving two infatuated individuals that end up getting romantically entangled too fast and with a lack proper romantic development. The leading couple’s story starts nice and strong but it loses excitement as the drama progresses and their romantic scenes are insipid. The leading male does a good job conveying his emotions but the lead female shows contradictory facial expressions while trying to convey feelings. Two of the most disturbing aspects of this drama are Tao Lun’s rapid changed in character and emotions and the fast and absurd drastic change of Zhang Jing Zhong [Chairman and Zhang Min's father]. Also, the rushed ending and forgiveness resolution shown on this drama underestimates the graveness of the parents, and other adult’s, decisions when the main characters were children.

This is a nice drama to watch while waiting for a great one to come. If you don’t mind a leading couple that is both immature and insecure, then you might find some enjoyment while watching. Although in the drama, for the most part, the male main character receives all the blame for the couple’s failure, it’s irresponsible to not focus also on the female lead’s insecurities and lack of communication. The drama intended to show characters development and, although it happened toward the end for both leads, the writer chose to separate the couple for two years to make that happened instead of learning from their mistakes by working together. The fact that the leading lady is portrayed as a moneygrubber and the writer chose to use it as an endearing and comedic trait on her part; it is really a turn off on her misleading personality. The romantic story was going well until they got married and everything went downhill when the couple’s chemistry took a nose dive and they lost trust on their capacity to love and work things through. The supporting cast was nice but they were also a mess in more than one way. Acting was subpar, the music was nice, but the storyline was mediocre.

This review is for Season 1 and 2. This drama is about palace politics and betrayals. The main characters are trapped by the delusions of the emperor and the princes all fall under the schemes of the bad guys. This is not a love story, although there is a main romantic plot and some other side stories, the plot is more about the fight for the throne. The story is poorly written and the characters went from almost comedic to dark and depressing on the second season. The best acting comes from the antagonist; the rest of the cast did not perform so well and the end, and the good guys end tragically. The leading lady went from very smart on the first season to someone lacking good judgment. Overall, the drama is not that good!

“Walk into Your Memory” is a fantasy drama with melodramatic, comedic, and romantic moments. Although it is a fairly good drama, it lost momentum for a while and, because of a series of unfortunate events, it started to drag the romance storyline. The leading couple did well bringing their characters to life but there is something missing during their romantic moments. From around episode 20 and on, the story takes upon clichés of misfortune and misunderstandings that are wrapped up to quickly on the last episode. The drama has a nice happy ending, but, for such a steadfast and enduring love among the leading couple, the drama doesn’t deliver a “great” finale. Even then, the drama is entertaining; something nice to watch while waiting for a great one. Enjoy it!

This is a good period drama that could’ve been great if only the leading couple’s romantic relationship would have been given more essence and time for their interpersonal connection; the second leading couple had a stronger and deeper “romantic” plot than the main couple. The writer(s) decided to make a great love that transcended time into a bland but innocent type of romantic relationship. For the rest, the drama excels in cinematography, costumes, choreography, and acting. There are some inconsistencies regarding plot and, although she had to die at the Qing Dynasty’s era to be able to come back from her “dream”, following her death, there was no interest in finding the killer. Also, the ending was good, but insipid; after her return to modern times, everyone else’s’ relationships from the Qing dynasty get a nicer resolution than the leading couple. Unless there’s going to be a second season, which doesn’t seem like it, the ending is not anything special. Still, it is not a bad drama to watch while waiting for a great one. Enjoy it!

This is a nice drama. Although the leading couple has a good rapport, their romantic scenes did not flow as natural as the rest of their relationship interactions. The second leading couple, Yi Nan Ke and Mi Ya, showed better chemistry on their romantic scenes that the leading couple. Simon Gong, as Lu Wei Xun, and Dai Chao, as Yi Nan Ke/ Yi Bei Dao showed great character development. As for the leading actress, even though she did well, her character and demeanor was too childish for the development of the story. As a viewer, taking in consideration the plot for this drama, it is missing romantic chemistry among the leading couple. Still, the drama has a revenge storyline, a bit of mystery, and a fluffy romance that offers enough entertainment. Enjoy it!

This is a difficult drama to rate since the plot is all over. The drama is a cute romantic comedy with, at least, 2 different plot lines and the sometimes cute short skit at the end of every episode. The soul-swapping storyline was well done and acted, but two not so much for the swapping arcs since the line of development became convoluted and confusing. Bai Lu as Da Xi and Zhang Yi Jie as Emperor Ji Man did a good job with the swapping plot on the historical setting but there was little to no chemistry for the rest. The drama had great potential but, although some parts are really entertaining, is difficult to recommend viewers to watch it.

This is a great coming of age drama. Although the drama could do without some clichés, the actors did a very good job delivering their characters. This drama depicts the characters and their struggles as they go from teenagers into adulthood without overly dramatic events and backstabbing issues. The individuals are connected by wonderful friendship among all the characters, with really good chemistry. The leading couple’s relationship takes time to develop, but the leading couple has good chemistry and the leading male carries the drama well. There are great moments among the leading couple, but there are some moments that the leading lady didn’t seem to be connected with her character, but overall, she did fine. The drama is entertaining. Enjoy it!

This drama is a good remake of the Korean version “My Girl (2005)”. Although there are some minor adaptations to the Thai version, the core story remains the same. Esther Supreeleela as Linin did very well and Pae Arak Amornsupasiri as Purith did very well portraying their character and, even though there romantic scenes could have been done better; their playful chemistry was really good. They also did a great job on their dramatic scenes. The roll of the antagonist was written well but her acting was lacking. Varot Makaduangkeo as Mark did very well on his portrayal of second male lead. The rest of the cast provided also a good dose of entertainment without being too silly or overly dramatic. Enjoy it!

This is a good comedy with a dose of cute romance. The leading couple has good chemistry for some adorable moments but their romantic scenes could’ve been more realistic for a romance that developed very slowly. The naiveté about their relationship was dragged for too long and the ending, although satisfactory, felt rushed. The OST is equally cute setting the tone for the simpleness and liveliness of the plot. The actors did very well bringing their characters to life under the inability of the writer to keep the comedy but to also give depth to the plot. Overall, this drama is entertaining, especially if the viewer is looking for something cute to watch. Enjoy it!

This review is for both seasons together:
This is a very entertaining drama. It is good that Season 1 and 2 are out since it offers a continuation that will truly bring all kind of emotions out. This drama has a really cute and light romance with comedic parts and some heart tugging scenes. Although it is not a “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” production, the drama offers enough entertaining and has a great feel. Even though the romantic scenes weren't anything special, the two main leads had really good chemistry, were fun to watch, and were true to each other. Luo Fei Fei, Bei Tang Yi, Bei Tang Tang, Xie Yan Ran, Chu Shang Nan, and Bai Wu Chen held this drama together and their interactions were enhanced by a great display of emotions and sincerity toward each other. The OST harmonizes very well with the corresponding scenes improving its qualities. The fantasy time travel theme paired with the zodiac element and its unique powers made for a well developed plot throughout the series shaping this drama into an engaging and enjoyable story to watch. Enjoy it!
