My Purple Skies

unexpectedly good!

I didn't expect to like this one so much, but I loved it! I binged all 13 episodes in one sitting and didn't even notice the time go by.

It starts out a bit silly and there's a lot of cliché moments, silly antagonist, some uneven pacing of the story and I don't know if I just missed the explanation or it just wasn't clear enough, but I never understood why Shu He lives with Shao peng's family.

Putting those minor details aside it's such a fun watch, It's cute, wholesome, funny, touches on some realistic issues and deals with disabilities in a very respectful way.

The chemistry between the leads is absolutely perfect and the second couple is hilarious seriously I couldn't get enough of them. I might be overrating this one with a 9 out of 10 but I had so much fun watching that I just can't rate it any lower.

Crazy girl and dull boy

I love whe Park Seojoon plays dumb characters Midnight runners, Fight for my way, Itaewon Class and Hwarang is where I've enjoyed him the most, so when I saw Lee Kyeongdo with that goofy face drop those coins, I got so excited, I laughed so much, maybe a little too much at how she roasted him from the moment they met she wouldn't stop teasing him.

The first episode was excellent, it's the second one that made me worry. I've seen others complaining about him not moving on from her and I get it it's weird that after all that time he hasn't dated anyone else, especially a man that handsome, but, then I thought other than being incredibly handsome, this man unlike the other dumb characters that Park Seojun has played before has no personality, all the times he has been fun and entertaining to watch it's either because he's being mercilessly roasted or forced to do things he wouldn't normally do. I hope that he does show more personality as the show progresses and I am intrigued by Won Jian, she clearly has serious mental issues on top of the horrible relationship with her mother.

I have been disappointed way too many times this year by dramas that start strong and then slowly get dumber and dumber, so I don't want get my hopes up too much, but for now it's good, it's setting up what could be a beautiful rom-com or a heartbreaking Melo, not sure yet but I want to find out.

15 Minutes into episode 5 and I've had enough of this, Dull boy is finally showing some spunk, it was getting funny again, but I realized he's not showing spunk, he's just copying her. I lost curiosity, there is something good here, they're dealing with serious topics, but it's made in an uninteresting way, it's gotten too boring and I no longer have the patience nor will I sit through another disappointment.

Seriously good!

I'm most likely getting ahead of myself but I think that even though the ratings so far have been fairly good, this drama is still underrated.

Seriously even with the great casting I didn't have anything expectations for it but it just so good. It's not the first workplace romance drama, there's nothing really new to the plot, but it's still feels fresh.

Joo In-Ah is such a great leading lady, scary at first but slowly showing her soft side, I'm crushing on her hard! I really admire her strength and dedication, she's not the kind of female lead that would play the victim, cower and cry, she stands tall prideful and strong, love, love, looove her.

Episode 6 so far has been the best, and allthough their love triangle has peeked it's ugly head around the corner, I'm still hopeful that it won't ruin what has been so far a nearly perfect drama, with the only flaw so far being that there hasn't been enough scenes involving Kim Jaewook, but I'm sure that he will be featured more in the second half of the drama. I am excited and hopeful that it will continue to impress me, so let's see what happens next.

Why is this drama only 12 episodes!!?? I'll be so sad when it ends, I just can't get enough of it honestly. I got my wish and the second half features Kim Jaewook a lot more and I love it, so much that I'd watch even if every characters was played by him every single one from the male lead to the rats rummaging tjrough the garbage, it'd be confusing, nonsensical, absurd and stupid but it'd be beautiful and enjoyable for me. With such a strong bias towards the actor playing him Jeon Jaeyeol hasn't triggered my second male lead syndrome. Hes seems to be a pretty nice guy but he doesn't come close to No Gijun, the guy is just perfect in every single way. I love this drama beyond words and simply cannot wait for more episodes!

I just finished this one and I'm so satisfied with how it ended, I'm adding it to my favorite damas list. The only reason not rating it a 10/10 is because Park Ajeong was so bland, I never liked her, I didn't hate her, I didn't pity her and frankly I didn't understand her, I kept waiting for her to make me feel something and it never happened, never understood why she was so broke and alone, maybe because I wasn't interested in her from the beginning and didn't pay close enough attention or maybe it wasn't explained, I truly don't know and don't care, but I'm sure that'll be cleared up for me when I watch this again, because I am for sure going to.

Hilarious and fun!

I thought this series was going to be bad, maybe because Cashero which had a somewhat similar regular people suddenly get super powers plot didn't click with me at all or just the vibes the poster gave me, a little bit of both, maybe.

To be 100% honest, the main reason I watched the first episode was to see Cha Eunwoo, I thought I'd watch 1 episode to see him and then drop it, probably because of this train of thought I was a bit bored at first, but about 3/4 into the the episode it clicked, it's not only good but it is hilarious!!I laughed out loud a lot, and spent the whole 8 episodes giggling, it's just so good, not per, not excellent but still a pretty fun drama, with some great twists.

The super powers are so cool! Especially on the villains side, and the actors were so good, really the entire cast is fantastic, although I don't agree with people that say that Cha Eunwoo can't act, I do admit that he's not good, he's just OK, mostly looks I know, unfortunately that fact is highlighted by the fact that the other 3 are so damn good, but it still works somehow, where he might be lacking the others shine, and it's so funny to watch them act together.

To keep this short, Park Eunbin is a goddess, Robin on the heroes side and Huran on the Villains side were my favorites and although I am perfectly happy with this being a one season miniseries, I would gladly watch a second season if it happens.

The description spoiled the twist; The love triangle ruined the plot.

I hate spoilers so much that these days I don't trust to read descriptions I never watch trailers and tend not to look at posters too closely. I barely glanced at the description of this one and I still was spoiled and even if I hadn't, there was an article a few days ago about how this series is Lee Jaewook's first double role. For me this is seriously upsetting to the point that I would even drop the series. I am not going to though, not yet.

In the first 2 episodes we met our leads, Song Ha Gyeong and Baek Do Ha who have an interesting love hate relationship, they're super adorable bickering 99% of the time it's rom-com 101 nothing new but it still feels fresh, reminds me of Welcome to Samdalri, Our beloved summer and Love next door.

We still don't know what exactly happened in the past to make Song Ha Gyeong so angry but we do know unfortunately that there's a twin involved even though aside from a name tag he hasn't been mentioned or shown on screen (as far as we know).

I'll do my best to let go of my annoyance and continue to watch he story unfold in the upcoming episodes.
I've watched this week's episodes and this is the last time I whine about this, I promise🤞🏼 had the twin not been revealed in the promotions it would've been so cute to see Doyoung appear in episode 3.

Episode 3 BTW has been my favorite out of the 4 episodes out so far. The reveal of the twin and how wholesome their friendship was. Now we know why the rift happened and I can understand both of them although I think Song Hayoung is being a bit to harsh.

I am loving this drama so so much and I cannot wait to see more, like I need to watch episode 5 right now.

I was s bit sad to see the ratings dropping week by week as I'm having a nice time watching. I kept thinking that maybe it was all matter of tastes and I was just seeing something that the other viewers weren't.

Episode 6 changed my mind. Why just why the live triangle?? I had heard rumors that there would be one with the lawyer, but it didn't make sense with how the story was going so I hoped it was a misunderstanding. I truly do not mind a love triangle, I'd prefer a story that doesn't include one, but when they do I just go with it.

There is enough drama already, a love triangle makes absolutely no sense, the confession from the lawyer comes out of nowhere and her actually considering him makes even less sense. The upcoming episodes better make it make sense or at least make funny for me to follow through with 6 more episodes of this mess.

I quit!

I couldn't even finish episode 7. The writers suddenly forgot about the dead twin and past traumas to introduce the laziest plot device, a love triangle and I repeat I do not mind a love triangle but it has to make sense!!!

I have second male lead syndrome, bad, even fully knowing that he doesn't stand a chance I still root for him to get the girl. In this case it's not only that it makes absolutely no sense to add a love triangle plot to an already drama packed story, it's that a man who seemed like an all around good man, very atractive, kind, nice job, considerate etc. has suddenly turned into a creep. He could've just been a friend to hagyeong but now all of his past comments and actions just seem sleezy and wrong. It made me so uncomfortable that I have to stop. I no longer care what happens.

Absolute perfection.

I have been meaning to write a review for this drama for a couple days now and quite frankly there's nothing I could say that hasn't been said by other reviewers already. It's sitting at a 9.3 rating as of the time of this review and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up.

When life gives you tangerines...Even the title is perfect. I started to watch on Wednesday and finished it on Friday and I kinda want to start over I loved so much.

The beautiful intro I couldn't bring myself to skip, The gorgeous Jeju scenery, the wardrobe and hairstyling through the eras was wonderful every single line of dialogue is precious. I laughed, cried, fell in love hated some some people, loved, laughed and I cried again. Just perfect from start to finish.

Everyone should watch this for sure!

It hurt me!! But I loved it.

I've been waiting for this series ever since the casting was announced, I truly couldn't care less if it was gay or not I just wanted to watch it because I really like these two actors.

I gotta say that I am absolutely impressed with how good this series is, I didn't know what the plot was going to be exactly as I avoided reading the description and didn't watch the trailer, but that poster, it was obvious that it was going to be a sad one, but I didn't expect it to be this sad!! I cried, I'm still crying, from the very beginning it's just so gloomy, although there are cute happy moments it's mostly sad. It is still worth it, the story is beautifully told, the acting is fantastic and the episodes are short so it's an easy binge.

I loved it, it hurt me, it hurt me so that I need to go watch some cartoons or something cute to lighten my mood, but I still would recommend and maybe watch again at least 1 more time.

I'm pleasantly surprised!

I started this one with the lowest expectations despite the high ratings or actually because of the high ratings, I thought this one more GMMTV garbage that people were eating up because of the popular ship, but no!! Well actually it is but it's so funny, dumb and stupid on purpose that it earns the high ratings, currently at 9.0 , a bit too high, yes but, most of these dramas are overrrated.

The story is pretty simple, nothing much actually happens and despite having a disgustingly toxic relationship between Aran and Tawan, I enjoyed every second of it. The plot is beyond silly, it's stupid it knows it's stupid and leans hard into the stupidity and it works so well, wonderfully done. I want to dock it at least half a point more because of the annoying sound effects, silly music and again the toxic second couple, but I can't bring myself to do it, it's just so funny and wonderfully entertaining.

Insanely good!!

Twelve letters is one of the best series I've ever watched, I swear it's not an exaggeration! It truly deseves the high rating if anything it could be a little higher.

The story grabbed my attention from the very first scene right up until the ending credits, no boring moments, no draggy unnecessary subplots just perfect story telling it starts with a mystry that slowy unravels and leads to another one and another one, never overwhelming never disappoiting. The fantasy element feels very grounded like it could actually happen and the caracheters are beautifully written I truly loved this one and the only reason I am giving it a 9.5 instead of a 10 it's out of pettiness I just wanted a teeny tiny more, just one more scene of them together yes I'm greedy I know it's perfect the way it is but still i long for just one more smile.

If you're still doubting, stop, and just wach it, trust me, it hurts, you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll scream at your screen and want to choke a couple of MFs, and you'll love every minute of it.

Devastating

I'm a Jeff Satur fan, so regardless of the plot or quality I was going to watch this movie. I only knew the gist of the plot and that it would be sad. I never expected it be this cruel, it's one of if not the saddest movie I ever watched in my entire life.

I finished watching it last night at 11:30 pm and today at 6:30 pm I still have a knot in my throat it was so sad, so unfair so cruel I haven't been able to cry yet but I feel as if I could at any moment, I am in total shock.

The cinematography was amazing, all shots were so beautiful and the acting was wonderful. All the actors did a great job my favorites being the two main leads.

Jeff totally blew my mind. The only other acting I've seen him do was in Kinnporsche and not only was I jot impressed but I really didn't like his character. But here, His character made me feel for him, every single scene from start to finish I was with him, I felt him, I was him.

England Waraha, It was my first time ever seeing her and wow I can't even explain how much I lo her! she played Mo so perfectly 👌 I hated her pretty much as soon as I saw her and hated her more and more with each and every act of selfishness she did every single thing she said and the way she said it. She was just awful,however, she had her reasons for being the way she was, the character isn't bad for the sake of being bad, she's that way because she's wounded her life hasn't been easy so her cunning evil ways are a product of that. I completely understand why she behaves the way she does, but I still loathe her and that is just the best kind of antagonist.

The mom was just a mean old lady, just a horrible person.

And jingna, he's adorable, I fell for him we all fell for him.

I don't want to give too many details about the plot but, I have to warn anyone who might be thinking of watching this,the ending was just too much, too painful, so much happens throughout the run of the movie, and then the ending hits so hard it hurts so much that I can't even put into words how I feel. It's an excellent movie regardless so it deserves to be recognized as such.

Please tell me that there's more!!!

I had been waiting for this one for more or less a year, and I did plan to read the manga but kept putting it off and I am so happy I did because I got to enjoy this completely unbiased and without any knowledge of the story.

I was blown away by how good the story is, the gorgeous imagery, the choreography and how sexy, steamy hot it was without being explicitly sexual. The way Suzuki sways his hips is so sexy and then Sugiki with his elegant sharp moves, both men experts in their dance styles come together and become literal fire, I was glued to the screen immersed so intensely in the story that I didn't even realize that 2 whole hours passed, I need more, now!! 😭😭😭😭

Also Suzuki speaking spanish, wow so freaking hot, I don't know if it was dubbed or the actor actually spoke the lines, but his pronunciation is nearly perfect and the tone of this voice... I'll stop here, go watch this movie if you haven't, it is fantastic!!!

Cute, Silly and Fun!

I went into this one absolutely blind, the only reason I added it to my watchlist, I liked the poster and Monster Next Door was a cute series.

To my surprise it's fantasy! and my favorite kind at that,I was suddenly thrown into a parallel universe where people inexplicably have mind reading abilities, at no point is the lore explained nor it tried to make sense, and it's fun because I was just as disoriented as the Phopthorn was. The peacock gag was too funny and not used enough, when it stopped showing up I actually missed it and when it showed up again I laughed like a maniac.

The second couple doesn't have enough screen time they were really cute and more time should've been spent on them rather than stretch the barely there plot and of all the stupid villains, the villain in this story has got to be the stupidest I've ever seen like what was his plan?? Did he have one??! The story isn't perfect but I still loved how over the top, absurd and self aware this series was.

Not bad, but, not that good either.

I know not to trust the high ratings on MDL and yet I fall for it every single time. I guess I thought that because this is a new pairing the reviews wouldn't be biased and I am not judging people's preferences here I'm really not, but a 9.1 rating for this is a bit much.

There is nothing new or exciting to this plot, just an average University BL that follows pretty much the standard script. Both mains are extremely unlikeable, Duang is annoying and Quin is rude, obnoxious, cold, jealous and insecure for absolutely no reason, the side characters are not so bad but they are barely in the story,they're just there for the sake of being there mostly. I did laugh a lot at the first couple of episodes, despite Duang's childishness, the actor is so cute that I was willing to put up with it, but it's way too much the episodes are long and nothing interesting happens, nothing. I wanted to finish it mostly to see if there is a logical explanation for why Quin is so awful, but I don't care anymore, my guess is neglectful parents and maybe physical abuse 🤷‍♀️ which really sucks but still...

I am dropping this, it's just not for me.

I'm a little worried but I still want to watch

What was that intro scene?? is this another M.R Plankton? Because I don't think my heart can handle that again, so soon.

I started this blind just knew that I love the actors and that Lee Dongwook was going to be some sort of ganster witha good heart.

I really liked the fact that they know each other already and it's obvious that they still like each other very much, like the. way he was looking at her Wow, I'd die right there.

I love the relationship between the 3 siblings, the way I laughed at that gamblers scene!! excelente introduction of the characters all of them were very nicely introduced.

I am worried about where this is going with that opening scene, I'm curious of how we're going to get there and hopeful for what happens after.

Please Disney, not another disappointment.

I'm coming back for an update on this, with all the new series coming out these days I missed a week so coming back today having to catch up with 4 episodes instead of 2 felt like too much, I don't know why because I did enjoy episodes 1-4 but watching episode 5 I got bored I had lost track of what was happening and decided to put this on hold for now.

My heart breaks for Pin.

From wardrobe (except that hideous pink dress), to set locations (the same used in memoir of Rati), this drama is stunning and truly feels appropriate of the Era it's set in.

The three mains have a wonderful chemistry with each other, the pacing of the story is perfect, the shady uncle and his wife are hilarious and the father a truly hate worthy villain.

As the story progressed I got more and more invested and was bracing myself for the moment Pin found out as I didn't want that beautiful and kind girl to suffer. And then it happened,Pin my dear I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you!! You just had to turn around and become an insufferable little witch; I guess it's better to resent her than have to endure her pain, eventually she did turn back into the loveable sweetheart that grabbed my heart but I still resent her a little.

Some minor flaws here and there so insignificant that I won't even complain (The cops don't exist in this world, people can just shoot, kidnap and stab people, without consequences).

I truly enjoyed this one and I might even dare say that I liked it better than I feel you linger in the air and I liked that one so much that I already rewatched 3 times.
