Overhyped undercooked K-drama meal at its peak!

Before starting Queen of Tears:
"OMG I'M SO EXCITED" ٩(ᵔ0ᵔ)۶

Ep 1-8: OOOHHH, I'm enjoying!!! (ʃƪ˘з˘)

Ep 9-12: hmmm, ok...umm ( ˙-˙ )

☑️Likes:
✓Leads bickering and them being mean to eachother occasionally

✓THE AUNT!

❎Dislikes:

Everything else other than likes. Starting with -
X FL's mean character and they dragged her sickness too long
X ML being a pushover
X The pacing of the story, it got damn boring at the end of the story, that I had to use +30sec and 2x speed button back to back.
X Slow sloth moments with all ballad OSTs had me yawn in every single episode.
X DAMN PEOPLE CAN CRY, I wouldn't know if I didn't watch this. They cried in almost every episode. Drunk crying, happy crying, cute crying, sad⁹⁹ crying, angry crying and so on.
(I shouldn't have picked this one to watch considering the title being filled with tears -_-)
X And WhyTF did that old selfish geezer escaped from this misery?! He's the root cause of this mishap, now when he saw he is in deep mud, run away without explaining, leaving his offsprings in pain. Strange!!!

If this drama was one of my first dramas, I would have loved it and rated it close to 10. But after watching hundreds of dramas I have outgrown this genre and developed a taste of my own where bleak plots like this completely failed to entertain me. They had big budget, star artists, pretty faces, crystal clear cinematography but lacked to grip attention of the audience with less intriguing plot.

This is an one time watch only. You watch, you finish, you forget and move on in life. But why did I watch? Because my completionist brain said "you've come so far to drop it now, deal with it". >⁠.⁠<

My Rating: 5/10 ʕ–_–ʔ
If I have to explain the drama in one word that would be, "BORING".

Bloodline doesn't make you family, but heart does.

This is a story of the friendship of a mother-daughter duo who got each other's back through thick and thin. Let me be clear, this is neither a rom-com nor a heavy emotional drama but a proper mature drama with no adult scenes. I refer this as a mature drama because they deal with certain emotions which are not easily understandable for a teenager or a minor. If you're one, then I doubt you will enjoy this as much as I did.

The plot revolves around the world of this duo. Here the daughter, Jin hee is a lot mature than her mother Eun mi. Eun mi is an independent, feisty, confident woman who likes to have fun, be reckless but never let anyone even her daughter control her life. She is her own boss who spice up this duo's life. On the other hand, Jin hee is calm, confident and a diligent daughter who works as a police officer. They have different opinions and values of life, but they try to hurt each other's feelings. They're more like constantly bickering friends than anything. At first, Eun mi's character might feel selfish, but she has every reason to act like that. She became a single mother at the age of 16 and never got to enjoy her life like normal youngsters. And Jin hee got matured at an early age because of her situation. They are very protective of each other. Like yin and yang they both of them complete each other. The chemistry between these two is too awesome! Sometimes they'll make you laugh, sometimes they'll make you cry too.

Another reason for calling this a mature drama is because how they dealt with the family issues. At first when Eun mi started dating Jin hee's biological father after 30 years, I thought this is weird. how come she can act like nothing happened and date the person who was unaware of his own child. Then she declared very clearly that even if she date this person Jin hee will always be her top priority and irrespective of Jin hee's relation with person she will be her child, ONLY HER'S. They were awkward and hesitant at first but they overcome that and accepted this whole thing as a fresh start. The biological father never demanded to be treated as her father because he can never fill the blank space in Jin hee's life. She's happy as the way things are and so there's no need to complicate things further. They respected each other's space which created a harmony in them.

From the very beginning they got me hooked. The drama, suspense, emotional scenes, all were shot very realistically. I adored each character even if they were flawed. Many viewers said that they wanted to see the romance between Jin hee and Jae won but let's not forget that main lead here is the Mother-daughter duo, they focused on the relationship between these two.

It was an interesting journey to core of a mother-daughter relationship. Almost felt like I was watching myself on the screen.

A little bit of sugar won't give you diabetes and might enhance your platter <3

I don't know if I can find any bad part in this BL even if I search with my magnifying glasses on...all I can see is spotless acting and raw transparent adult emotions with relatable characters to swoon over.

YES it's cute, fluffy, refreshing and calming.
For me the most beautiful thing is that Togawa didn't forced his feelings on Nouze-san, this story happened naturally. Being single and close to 40 Mr. Nouze must have felt his life boring and uninteresting. At that time Togawa came into his life like a breath of fresh air. They both understood their boundaries as subordinates.

They are adults in love and but can giggle like a child over little things.

I can conclude this as a healthy BL to feed on whenever you're tired. Plots like this tells us that love at first sight still do exist and stays for a longer time, which makes me wonder why something like this doesn't happen to us :')

TRASH⁹⁹⁹

If you don't want to f*ck with your own mind don't watch this and save yourself from watching THE MOST humiliating pathetic portrayal of "love".

In the beginning I felt this is gonna be quite promising and artistic, so I was anticipating for a real emotional wreck kind of romance.
OMG I was sooo right about this drama being an emotional wreck. I was left in confusion why the hell I started this drama in the first place. The cinematography was soo good, but the story was all over the place. The FL got on my nerves whenever she was on camera. She was rather pathetic. And the ML was cocky manipulating sadistic b**tard. I'm beyond irritated. This is probably THE MOST artistic trashy disastrous kdrama I ever wasted my time on.

Ngl OSTs were good tho 😒

You're welcome XOXO

GRITTY AND INTENSE THRILLER TO BOGGLE YOUR MIND

I watched this series back in 2019 while I was on a trip with my family and decided to binge watch all the downloaded episodes in the bus.
That was dumb. I agree cuz after watching this series I was left dazed and in denial for days. Last time I was this baffled when I watched the "House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths" docu series.
From first 5 min to last minute I was hooked! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. All of characters were written equally weird and wonderful. Not only Im Si Wan and Lee Dong Wook acted well but also the other characters like Park Jong Hwan, Lee Joong ok and Lee Jung Eun created an eerie aura which will make you realise how gruesome-ly each characters are real.

Sensible honest love has problem too?

I'm going to give my honest thoughts about this series. There are things that I didn't like and something I really loved.
The first thing I didn't liked about the series is the ML is very much objectified okay that's the biggest issue of the series but on the other hand it's true that not only women, but men are also victims of sexual harassment. It's very brave of GMMTV to show this side of the entertainment industry.
The other thing that I didn't like was the FLs overprotective grandfather. It's understandable that Pam's grandparents really love her, but her grandfather is overly overly protective towards Pam and that's really annoying.
Pam's mother is weirdly unbothered about her 1st child and is an epitome of an irresponsible mother. I know that's how the character really is, and this is a proof that mother like her really do exist.
But the chemistry between the ML and FL is very very good, Namtan has polished acting skills and Luke's acting skills developed over time.
Regardless of the flaws something about this series makes me wanna wait for an entire week. It's interesting and I love it.

A series that makes you an instant diabetic patient!!!

(Didn't expect that I'll be watching a love story of a Corgi and a Cat lol)

I was hesitant whether to watch it or not, even I almost forgot about this. Thanks to my ever-changing mood that I didn't ignored it and binge watched it in one go. I'm just left with the sweet aftertaste. These two pouty boys are damn cute and well versed actors. Their chemistry was deeper than black hole. They made me believe that they're not acting but is a real couple. I will definitely check out their future projects! 💌

And don't let me start with the OSTs...damn those were beautiful! I'm on my way to download them

METICULOUSLY KNITTED THRILLER PLOT WHICH WILL UNFOLD MYSTERIES LEISURELY!

WOW!!! Just WOW!!!
First started this drama cuz I was bored af and at the same time I didn't want to start another courtroom drama, cuz thay makes me go insane. Inspite of that I believed in Kang Haneul's supremacy and stayed for his magical acting methodology. And now I'm smitten!
From beginning to end there's no time to slack off. Each and every incident made proper sense in a way that will make you suspicious of each and every character. Every episode has that element which will make your heart drop a beat then accelerate it to the top that you'll be left wanting more and more.

What I learnt from this series is that one thing that makes you weak, that has the same energy to make you stronger.

On top of that if you're a person like me who doesn't really know much about card games, you'll grow interest in how gambling and casino works, what are those terminologies means??!!

Brilliant, magnificent drama... But way too underrated!

Bittersweet journey to the core of "yourself"!

I won't make my review unnecessarily lengthy. Obviously you're here for "What's there to like?" Let me answer that for you...
When I started watching Yumi's cells S1 honestly I came for Ahn Bo Hyun. But stayed for the plot. Why? Because it the plot speaks for us. I felt myself in Yumi. She's You, she's us! The emotional rollercoaster we face everyday in our daily life, the hurdles we overcame, the breakups we've been through, the thoughts left unsaid, those overwhelming situations made me laugh, angry, and cry too.
In the mid of S2 I was really confused about the plot. The characters and screenwriters successfully put us into a abyss of contemplation. Which I must say is worth contemplating for!
Ms. Yumi earned my respect. She isn't perfect. She knows how to compromise but she'll never settle for less.
And lastly the beautiful OSTs Ling Ling, Shinning on Your Night both just stole my <3

If you don't want to watch it yes you can skip, no big deal. But if you watch this till the end, I can assure you won't regret it.

Laws of attraction says do not think twice just watch this series ASAP!

I won't disagree with anyone that there are many plotholes but we all agree that the leads chemistry was just *chef's kiss* 👌😘 and that's the main ingredient for the success of the series. Even though the thrill part can be guessed beforehand but Film and Jam's acting didn't let me skip a second! I'm glad I waited till it finished either I wouldn't be able to wait and watch just 1 ep/wk. Now that I binge watched the whole series in a day, my heart is full 💗
Not a fan of lakorn but because of this lovely duo I'm willing to watch "To sir, with love"!

Last but not the least Silvy's voice was just cherry on top! She's a diva. Her piercing gaze with that sweet yet confident seductive smile just *AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH*... whenever she was on the screen I couldn't take my eyes away from her!🙈💕

There are many things left that can be improved in the future but in the era of fluffy BLs, a genre like this, came to me as a blessing and I loved every second of it 😻

My rating- 8/10

One's polyamorous love that can make others polyamorous as well?!

First of all when I started watching or when I decided to watch this drama I had no idea about the complexity I was about to face cuz I thought I was gonna watch another "coming out" drama. Oh boy... I was sooo wrong!

In the beginning I was quite confused with the whole plot and was about to drop it. Then I thought let's see how it goes. A wife and a husband, both of them love eachother to the point where they'll do anything to make eachother happy. But one day on their wedding anniversary she saw her husband kissing another boy at their doorstep, who turned out to be her student (😭). Fast forward to the boyfriend who is polyamorous, (likes multiple people at same time) likes the husband and the wife as well. Somehow he managed to get into their house, now 3 of them are living together under one roof. So it is a journey of self discovery and giving in what heart desires.

Personally I think the only who has to "lose" is the wife. Cuz the husband and the boyfriend love eachother, oth the wife loves the husband but he just "likes" her. They wanted eachother to be happy but still made eachother suffer by not divorcing when both of them are monogamous. It is mentioned that it's a work of a fiction but I believe there's some people in the world who are living their life this way.

As you can see the whole situation is quite complicated for any monogamous person to understand. Personally I think they're gonna be unhappy throughout their life if they stay like this. Defying "normal" and living as poly can only complicate their lives unless they find suitable partners of a same mentality. Only Japan can produce something innovative like this.

It is a sensitive topic and not everyone's gonna "understand" them, but knowing something other than "normal" is the only way to educate yourself about endless possibilities the world have.

You're hearing, I'm deaf. We're different... Then I'll be deaf for you.

This is truly a wonderful movie!

I waited so long to watch this as it was not available for the international audience until two weeks ago when they released it on YouTube.

From the beginning to till the end you are going to feel a lot of things that you have never felt before. Because if I be honest I would say we, who can both hear and talk can never truly feel what a deaf/mute/ mute & deaf person really feels. We can try to understand but its far from being felt like one. The mature people can decode the silence but when that silence becomes your life then it's hard to understand spoken words. Which is why this film excels in portraying the message clear and loud. They made you feel those complicated emotions with silence and stares.

Now the most important thing that holds everything together is the leads acting and their insane chemistry. Oh my my I could feel the love from the screen! From hesitant gaze to slow stare I fell in love with the characters. Their chemistry was chemistring >.<

The OSTs and the music just hits the spot! I can definitely listen to them all day. They're so melodious and meaningful. From the trailer it's the first thing that made me want to watch the movie.

This movie is highly recommended if you want to let go of stress and those pent up emotions, then this is for you. It has fluff, a bit comedy, romance and a door to the wall of silence.

After finishing the movie now I can understand why is it named "One More Time. With Feelings"!

Romance, Fluff and thrill done right! ✨

After rejecting a lot of BLs I was torn between whether to watch another teenage lovestory or just pass, cause I was not mentally ready for another "brainless fluff". But people kept recommending me this. So one fine day, which was yesterday, I saw a ray of leisure time for myself and I decided to check this out FINALLY!

As I was quite hesitant to watch I kinda felt lost at first. Everything was happening and I kept feeling clueless like Yeo-woon. Gradually the story hold its grip tight and pulled me in like a suction cup. Without knowing I was emerged in the story and emotionally attached to the characters.

Myung Ha is that drive of force which lets you accomplish any impossible action. And Yeo Woon is the result of that action. The conditions/situations between these two are same but one is simply clueless and other is brainstorming his life away for the sake of happiness.

"What's crucial to a happy life?"

The gaming interface creates a thrilling aura all over the storyline and is kept till the end of story which was really suspenseful! With the help of Romance, suspense, trauma and fluff this story created its own standard. If I say it was flawless then I would be lying. Last 3-4 episodes were quite different from my expectations and the plot suddenly escalated quickly towards the thrill part. But it turned out pretty good I must admit. Overall I would definitely recommend.

My rating: 8.5/10 ☘️
