It takes a strong person to remain single in a world that can easily find you your wrong match
It's a unique drama that delves into the mind of a single established man who is quirky, fun and unbelievably kind to whom he cares. Here the dialogues are so hilarious and relatable, sometimes brutally honest, that you'd think you're watching a stand-up comedy not a drama. I love these slice of life shows where people are being themselves, just living life between triumphs and struggles, breathing and trying to make life better every day. Even if it's mundane, realistically flawed, it has its own charm.Personally, I find ML's character perfect for a snobbish single person who refuses to accept anything but his own opinion. Even if he's single and aging, he doesn't see that as any flaw, unlike some. He's really contained with himself and his hobbies. As an introvert, I don't see anything wrong with it, just like him. He's apparently rich but prefers eating where he gets a discount but won't think twice before buying his favorite board game at triple his daily expense. He isn't frugal, he's economically aware. Surely he has a sharp mouth but never intended to hurt anyone's feelings. He has his own set of values to guide his path and carve his life into an idealistically independent man who enjoys life fully. He's the most kind-hearted jerk you've met in your whole life.
It's all before Dr. Gu Yeijia and Xiaoman entered his life. Because what happened after that is the storyline of the drama. Yeijia is that catalyst which redefined his way of living and got him thinking about the other's perspectives in contrast with each other. Without spoiling the story, I would say, take it as a tea break, which allows you to slow down and relax your complicated thought process while taking a bite of your favorite piece of cake.
Overall, this drama is nothing special story wise, but it is a special, one-of-a-kind contemporary drama that will leave a good feeling inside you.

A right person at the wrong time is the wrong person.
This film was really fun to watch because it had a perfect blend of real life, romance and comedy. Oh My Girl is a Thai romantic comedy that showed the funny and sweet moments of young love and finding yourself through heartbreaks and its lessons. It is light and easy to watch aa the characters are easy to relate to. It has a good balance of funny and sad moments that kept me interested from start to finish.Storyline:
The story is about the unexpected things that happen when the main characters meet and it is both fun and touching. The story unfolds in a way with funny moments that do not feel forced and sad moments that feel real. The screenplay does a job of mixing romance with everyday life making the characters feel real and relatable. I loved how the characters were shown in a way. The realistic approach of the character won me over. The subtle difference between like and love is very visible in FL, 2ML and ML. Love is supposed to heal, it shouldn't hurt.
Acting:
The actors did a job and the main leads had a nice chemistry on screen. They showed the innocence, awkwardness and excitement of love in a humorous way. The supporting characters added depth and humor to the story making it more interesting without taking from the main story.
Cinematography:
The director did a job with the film's colorful and fun cinematography which went well with the happy tone of the story. The pace of the film is well done, kept me on my toes to see what will happen to the characters. The use of locations and creative camera work made the film look nice making it more fun to watch.
Overall it was a fun film that let me escape into a world of young love and laughter. It is a film for people who like romantic comedies and stories, about growing up and feeling real emotions. The film is lovely because it is simple and shows emotions making it a memorable film.

I'm good alone, but with you, I'm better!
"Every you, every me" is an anthology series where each and every story makes sense in the end because it's not over, until it's over.I dived into the series having no idea what was waiting for me to discover. At first, I was contemplating, thinking that it might not be as interesting as I thought. But soon the stories and the characters completely swept me off my feet and had me swooning like a lovesick cat!
—Storylines:
It consists of 8 episodes, where episodes 1 & 2 had different stories, episodes 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8 had different stories, dedicating two episodes to each story.
The first two stories were light, cute and fluffy. But as we proceeded, the mood changed, it grew darker, involving complex characters, serious conflicts with different plots and its challenges.
One thing that was common in every story was the same faces enacting different characters and while we thought they were standalone stories, they proved us wrong in the last two episodes. The twist completely baffled me, thinking how beautifully this story was written and given life by the talented actors Top and Mick.
—Actors:
This was my first drama with TopMick, and I am truly madly and deeply in love with them! Their chemistry is natural and full of passion. It shows how much they are comfortable with each other. I'm in awe of their ability to portray different characters in one series, from bright & sunny to gloomy & shy individuals, showcasing their talent flawlessly. Initially, I thought the storylines were superficial, so I didn't have to connect to the characters, but episode by episode they grew on me and made me believe they were more than they were showing and, in the end, everything made sense. Now this is confirmed, I'm their fan and will support their future works earnestly.
—What to expect:
Expect nothing. I suggest everyone dive into this blindly. That way, you can enjoy and love the characters as they are without any judgment. There's no cringe, no lagging in acting, only pure underrated talent.
Overall, if you are up for something cute, full of love, then please give it a try. They will not disappoint you.
P. S: while watching ep 6, I thought this would be 8.5, but the last two episodes changed my mind and this is definitely a solid 9/10 drama for me.

An underrated LGBTQIA+ series
From the director of Gaya Si Pelicula (Like in the movies), THIS SERIES SCREAMS PERFECTION indeed. There wasn't a single moment I wanted to skip a scene. No cringey scene, no cheesey romance shit, just people being themselves and the story just went smoothly. The story shows the dedication and fight of King for opening a LGBTQIA+ club in their college which is in the jurisdiction of local church. There he met a lot of allies, homophobes and a reason to stay in Marahuyo Island.If you're looking for NC scenes like Thai, sorry you won't get any. If you're looking for hot kisses like Taiwan and you won't get that either. But what you'll get is true satisfaction of watching a LGBTQIA themed content being honest with its promises. Filipino dramas feel a journey to your neighborhood of friendly and outspoken neighbours sharing their daily lives with a big smile on their face.
Actors were amazing! From the beginning the character King seemed like long lost brother of Bretman Rock, which is I was hooked from the very beginning! His acting is spontaneous and full of life. Another actor who needs to be applauded that is the character Venice! Oh my my, his character arc mind-blowing. Venice was such a sassy little queen of the show >.<
This is the type of ending I love. An ending showcasing realistic approach to life and real events with full of hope. It was a short series with 8 eps yet it said and expressed a lot more than you think.
Before fighting the whole world you need to fight with your family first. And if you win, you can win any situation in your life with their love and support.
Not to forget the OST, it's a lullaby to ears. The soothing & calming music just blends in with the storyline and gives you the compact feeling.

Bunch of horny adults doing shïtty things to make their life more miserable, which made sense!
5 reasons why I liked Only friends-1. Characters were complex AF!
2. They were imperfect
3. They knew they were imperfect and tried to make things better
4. Not everyone got their desired happy endings cuz it's natural this way.
5. The characters weren't dumb they had their priorities sorted.
Character Analysis:
Ray: The cocky b@stard who is ready to chang himself for the sake of himself only.
Mew: Mentally sorted person still made some shitty decisions for himself.
Boston: The ACTUAL b@stard who knows how to füçk up his own life by his own hands and make others life miserable as well.
Cheum: Relatively blind person who judges people too quickly.
Top: Troublemaker Playboy at the beginning but found the "one" to take him out of his man-made gutter.
Sand: Lover boy romantist who falls in love with trouble easily but never loses his self-worth! The most responsible adult out of all.
Nick: Timid little guy who did terrible things to terrible people for the sake of love which didn't even exist :|
It's been quite a hectic journey with some heartbreaks, shït days and blood boiling mistakes but we made peace with the imperfect characters in a most imperfect way possible. Happy endings do exist and is very subjective but do not exist for everyone, regardless of their wrongdoings or good deeds.
My rating: 8.5/10!

F4- Funny, Fluffy, Fulfilling and Fabulous
I started this drama thinking I would drop this before I reach the mid, but to my surprise I LOVED IT to that extent I didn't wanted it to finish this quickly. It's been a while since I watched something this wholesome.So before judging the series by someone's review/comment, check this out yourself. ML-FL and SML-SFL's chemistry were lovely. Combining romance, comedy with speed and diversity in script, in a 10 ep rom-com isn't a joke. The story will keep your eyes pasted on the screen throughout the episodes and by the time an episode finishes you'll click the next episode like a speed of a tornado. I mean THEY REALLY DID A GREAT JOB! This series is great mood changer if you're looking for something funny and fulfilling. You don't believe me, just go run your fingers fast and start binge watching this right NOW!
OMG no one's gonna talk about KIM OK BIN?! SHE'S SPONTANEOUSLY CHARMING! She's like a fighter goddess. She's literally the perfect match for the character Miran. I became a fan of her.
NGL KIM JI HOON and YOO TEO made my heart flutter like crazy ❤️
I'll re-watch this for their fabulous chemistry again and again
9/10

Your insanely boring life is just as precious as mine.
Liberation: the action of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression; release.What type of liberation you want?
What's stopping you from being liberated?
Is it you, your family or the world?
What will you do with your long awaited liberation?
Like this dozens and thousands of question will arise while watching this series.
It's one of those series from film noir genre which question your life and existence. What I loved the most was how realistic each and every character was. Three siblings and Mr. Gu were showed phenomenal growth in their characters. Although it is a little slow out the gates, once this one gets going, it turns into an unstoppable juggernaut. Prepare yourself for a long ride to liberation. My favourite quote: “I think humans are only sane when they’re lonely. So I think I’m saner at night.” – Mi Jeong
My liberation notes is a warm hug to let go of your suppressed emotions and bring out the courage to be liberated. Liberating from societal expectations, emotional baggages and growing demands of materialistic world, my day to day mundane life felt comforting. As the topic itself felt heavy on my chest after finishing the drama I didn't want to watch something else. I allowed myself to be fully submerged into the juggernaut emotions of the characters. This overwhelming feeling lingered quite longer than usual.
I think whomever watched this drama had a silent cry in every episode. That's why you need to watch this at night while you're stressed, alone in a room. Then you'll realise that this series feels like a warm damp hug to yourself.

Pretty visual mantra always works !
It's your typical Wattpad bedtime story, where a troubled, sassy FL asks help from a dashing, handsome lad; initially, he refuses, but she wins him over. They fell in love with each other, and suddenly their world fell apart. FL got abducted, then her knight in shining armour ML comes riding horse to save her! *Deep sigh* *Eye roll intensifies*The storyline has a complicated drug theme; I didn't mind at first, but things got pretty confusing midway. I forget what's the point of all this drama and trouble. Romance was...nice, with pretty faces, slow stares, no way they could mess that. The cinematography was visually STUNNING. It's very aesthetically pleasing. Settings, lighting, camera direction, and acting all came together, which created an immersive, dark, sexy, but intriguing storyline. The production values are somewhat higher for a short-length drama like this.
The actress, Yang Yu Shi was beautiful; her acting was okay. Before this I watched Fan Zhi Xin in "The Lethal Man." Ngl, I enjoyed that more than I expected lol, and I was sure even if I didn't like the drama, I had something to keep me seated.
Overall, a visually pretty drama with a complicated storyline and some cringe-worthy *wiiisshh woossh waashhh and chik chik boom* scenes to rejuvenate your dying soul.

Whatever you do, you can't change what is destined to happen!
A story of a lost soul who tries to make things right in the present after being in the future for 4 minutes.It had a grand start filled with thrills, naked white butts, and lots of anticipation of great content. Another BL with a time travel theme got me interested in watching. It was going very well; I understood what was going on and created a link in my mind. But soon after episode 4, things started going downhill. I lost track of what was going on and totally got confused with the storyline. If I were to name a drama as a show-off, then this is the shinning example of it. Wait, this is literally synonymous to BOC now!
Even though I understood what was happening at the last 4 minutes of EP 8, in general the story feels like a fever dream where you feel like you understand the situation but still can't figure out what and why that is happening. And after waking up, you completely forgot what it was all about. The storyline is so erratic that I lost interest in the middle. There were different storylines, and they wanted to give attention to every one of them, but while doing that, they lost the actual significance of the show. Maybe it's not that complicated, but sure, it is confusing. Still, I watched it because I wanted to reach the conclusion. So I can't really point out what I liked or disliked, as I feel like I'm in a daze to conclude anything.
It had a big budget, great artists, and beautiful and aesthetic cinematography, but it fell short in terms of storytelling and binding the whole thing together. Again, it is proved that BOC failed to deliver a compelling story and tried to hide it with NC scenes and handsome faces. I had high expectations, but now I'm utterly disappointed. I can't rate this show high just because of its high content value. I do enjoy the complicated storylines, but I can't lose my brain cells over 8 episodes of content. Maybe I'm too dumb for this; it's not for me.

Never visit forests with lots of figurine statues!
I don't know why I started watching this at this hour, it's literally midnight and I'm scared to go to bathroom now!When I started watching this I had very little faith in what I was about to watch. Cause the rating was relatively low for a mystery horror genre but I was being whimsical to watch "something new today" and Hoon Payon surprisingly turned out to be much better than I expected.
At the beginning things feel a bit all over the place. I was feeling distant with the plot cause they were introducing more characters and yet things were getting more obscure and complicated as I was losing interest. But, but after the second half things were started to improve and unfolding mysteries slowly. I just couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Felt like if I blink I might miss something. And I was not disappointed at all! AND THE PLOT TWIST IS JUST AMAZING!
Hoon Pa Yong is meant as a spiritual bodyguard to guard your asset from theft, and to protect you from the harm of black magic and evil spirits. You basically know what you're about to watch and rest just people being selfish, secretive and scornful. So the film is all about curse, ghosted monks, and JUMP SCARES⁹⁹⁹⁹!!! I'm 3 mins in and I'm seeing a sharp object injected into eyes >_< and poking into skin until blood comes out...I can't explain you enough how much I hate these! JUST. NO. In those scenes I just covered my eyes and peeked through two fingers. Superstitions are made by human for human to scare the shit out of you.
Now coming to the characters, they were not perfect but they did their best. This is my first time watching Phuwin, he was so-so. But Up, ouuufff he just nailed it! I've watched all of his series and now this movie, I can say this is his best work!
Most importantly the cinematography was just awesome. The cinematographer skillfully selected each and every object to give you that eerie chilling vibe. At first glance it looks calm and tranquil but soon you start fearing the atmosphere. It's just aesthetically scary all over.
Overall if you're looking for something quick horror mystry pill to spike up your adrenaline then it's a good watch. But remember, watch this at night for best results ;>

When cheating was justified. Meh.
What a bummer!Blue boys pt 2 started with me forgetting what happened in pt 1 and was too lazy to figure out so I continued watching it. That's how this storyline is, vague, forgetful and mediocre.
First of all that rude female colleague So Ri was pain in the as* then there's another siren Tae Ha. I'm glad they maintained the equality between male and female being a "bi*chy" character 🤡🚩
Justifying and neutralizing cheating was a big turn off for me. Yes it is forgiveable but if it happened with a hetero couple would it be able to put same pov like this BL? No. Maybe they're fine for now, who knows what's going to happen with them in future...I won't be there to watch anyway. Go to hell.

Being perfect with flaws is what makes the difference!
"It's easier to give up when it hurts, to leave when it gets tiring. But what you really need, is patience. If you only held on you would still learn those things."This is me finishing the last movie of KathlNiel with puffy eyes and heavy heart. And if you ask, "how's it?" I would say, you need to watch this yourself to feel the emotions I felt.
It might be cliche to some but someone out there will still enjoy this movie as it is.
This is literally a break-up story of young lovers Primo & George, who went through ups and downs in life just to realise they belonged together forever. But their realisation was not easy as they ended their relationship in bad terms. The believe they had in eachother started fading with the each year and oneday the feelings outbursted, they were left scarred for life.
KathlNiel's acting once again was undoubtedly brilliant. You can not tell if they're acting or just being themselves. As they we know they were a real couple (currently they're not anymore) which really helped them to intensify their chemistry. The emotions were portrayed unfiltered, real and raw, so that you can put yourself in their place and judge the situation.
Now the only problem I have is, I expected it to be an open ending or a sad ending than a happy ending because that would give proper justice to FL and what she's been through. ML is not a jerk but still he left her when she needed him the most. I believe breaking up once shows how fragile that relationship is. It doesn't matter how many times you try to put it back together, the crack will be still there poking the old wounds.
But regardless of all the shortcomings I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to all the happy ending loving romanticists. Make sure to have enough tissues.

Don't romanticise the abuse, if it comes back to you, will you be able to handle that?
Before watching this movie you should be aware of the tags, which are enough to trigger your senses. And here I am sitting completely shocked. I don't know how should I explain my feelings, whom should I sympathize with, where did it start to go wrong. Only Japan can produce something raw like this to make you believe the unbelievable.If you want to know how Stockholm Syndrome look like, then this is the perfect example of one. The traumatic events that teenage boy, Moto has to go through just "to keep himself safe" is beyond horrible and disgusting. He tolerated his trauma and came to fond of it. Moto wanted to trust and believe Sala but she's a horrible adult to begin with. She exploited the innocent and when she acts indifference of the situation made my blood boil with anger and frustration. I had to check the age of boy current and at that time just to ensure my heart he wasn't a minor. I wanted to question her "how do you like it when the things you did to others, is done to you?" Then I found myself guilty for feeling that way. Idk whom should I apologise to.
But why would you watch it -
• chilling realistic acting
• to come out of your comfort zone and understand there's someone out there doing and going through these same things. Just to be aware of these wicked humans.
• there's always that grey area of our mind which needs to fed with ugly reality once in a while to realise how grateful we should be for our safe place.
Why you shouldn't -
• if you are sensitive of "these" triggers. Just check out tags, you'll know why.
• if you can't differentiate reel and real life (I know I'm contradicting my own point but you need to realise not all situations are same, not every person behaves the same way. Things can be more or less brutal in real life and this is just a dramatisation of a fictional characters)
My rating: 7/10, I can't explain it enough how realistic their acting was to make me punch them in the face at the moment.

A glimpse of a couple's not-so-perfect love and their perfect breakup story
I started this film because I loved Carlo Aquino's acting in "Isa Pa With Feelings" and YouTube recommended me this, so why not! As I love contemporary stories filled with angst, quarrel, love, tears and realistic approach to life, this movie just fits well in the catagory.In the beginning I wasn't sure whether to keep watching this or not but I did eventually and I don't regret that. To me the character Pia was not relatable at all but yes I came across people like her so I started putting her into a "mould" and was in favour with Nix. But from the mid of the movie my heart started to empathize with Pia and her character was so prominent and strong that she just won me over. She one independent, liberal, an honest person who loves with all her heart, mind and soul. On the other hand Nix is a simple, sweet, and caring person. He doesn't understand the complexity of character, just accepts as they are, which was his biggest issue. He's scared to love again because he still dwells on his past. When these two people met and fell in love, the insecurities got the best out of them. Going back and forth between the present and past made them forget about the future of their relationship.
What I liked about this movie was how realistic these two characters were. Like I felt I was peeking out of my balcony and watching daily life of these two on the opposite appartment. Their chemistry was out of the world. I swear the snuggle Nix gave to Pia was the most lovely and warmest ever!!! I could feel the warmth of the relationship from the screen. They both tried their hardest to cope up with their insecurities and move on but probably the honesty and sincerity wasn't enough to retain the the weightage of their love.

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"!
