Unnecessary lengthy
It is a lengthy drama that tells the story of a girl. A fortune teller once predicted that she would reign over the kingdom. From that moment, conspiracies began to unfold. Somehow, she managed to escape and left the kingdom.
For many years, she faced numerous tribulations and eventually returned to take revenge. But something changed—though she wanted revenge, she couldn't bring herself to do it. I didn’t see her reclaim the throne by the end, but she continued to guide and support the king and his sons in ruling the kingdom.
My favorite part of the drama was the love story. I always had a complaint with the director for not giving enough screen time to their children. At the very least, they could have shown them in the final episode.

Both the parts' review
After watching both parts, I realized that it’s actually a well-written story. In the first part, I was irritated by Kil Chae’s character until the very end. She refused to accept that Yeon Joon loved someone else and kept interfering in his matters while disregarding Lee Jang Hyun’s emotions and sacrifices. In the end, she married another man, which frustrated me a lot.The second part continued in flashback, just like the first. An old man in jail agreed to tell Jang Hyun’s story but wanted to know what had happened to him first. This led to another series of flashbacks, forming the core of the second season. One thing that confused me was whether the old man was actually narrating the story to someone or just recalling it in his mind. Additionally, I wasn’t sure if the events we, as viewers, watched were his narration or simply the director’s way of showing us the past.
The story seemed to have a happy ending, but it still felt incomplete. I expected it to conclude with the old man, bringing full closure to the narrative.
At the end, I want to conclude by appreciating the outstanding performances of Namkoong Min, Ahn Eun Jin, Lee Hak Joo, Lee Da In, Kim Yoon Woo, Park Kang Sub, and Kim Seo An. While the entire cast did well, they were the best. I also want to mention the actor who played the role of the Crown Prince—his performance was remarkable.

Okay
Moonlight Mystiques" is a love story between a demon god and a girl. I liked the first few episodes, but then the story became flat. When the demon god transformed into an innocent boy because his magic backfired, the story became a little interesting, but then it got boring again. The chemistry between the leads was good, and the supporting actors and actresses performed well.By the way, the male lead looked dazzling all the time.

An average
The Legend of Zu is a 2018 drama that I watched in 2025. Naturally, over time, preferences change. If I compare it to the standards of 2018, it was a good story. However, the plot was stretched too much, making it feel a bit dull. The concept was interesting, but I still felt that something was missing. The ending was unsatisfying and seemed abrupt.I watched the drama only because of the male lead; otherwise, I wouldn't have continued. Overall, I would say it’s an average story.

Rainforest Passion is purely for entertainment—there's no logic, just drama. The story revolves around a boy whose brother was unfairly killed. Determined to find the culprit, he embarks on a journey of revenge. Meanwhile, a girl enters his life. She arrives in his city searching for her brother, and her brother, in turn, assigns the boy as her bodyguard. He agrees, believing that her father is the culprit. And thus, the story begins.The drama mainly focuses on a love triangle and revenge. As for the acting, all the actors and actresses delivered good performances. However, the very last scene was quite ridiculous—he was cuffed so easily and then released just as effortlessly.
Overall, the story was average—nothing exceptional but entertaining enough.

Fine
"Fervent Kiss" was a short love story. The drama didn’t show much. To gain authority and power, uncle tries to kill his nephew. Amidst this, there is also a small revenge subplot. Other than that, as I mentioned, it’s a brief love story. I liked the acting of all the characters. Especially Zhong Si Huai, he did a great job.Was this review helpful to you?

Poster of drama is an illusion
I decided to watch this drama because of its intriguing poster. However, it turned out to have little to no romance—just brief glimpses of emotions related to love. The story mainly revolves around Jumong and Soh Seo No, focusing on how they built a new empire together.The drama does not delve much into his romantic life. Although there were three women in his life, two of them left him for various reasons.
If the story is based on true events, I have no complaints. But if it is fictional, I wish it had included more romantic scenes.

Fine
The episodes are only three minutes long, so the story offers just a glimpse of desire, hope, and love. It revolves around a girl who has a long-time crush on her classmate, but her love remains one-sided. When she turns 27, she gets a chance to meet him again. However, after overhearing gossip, she mistakenly believes he already has a girlfriend. Heartbroken, she decides to leave the venue, but an unexpected incident sends her back to when she was 17. From that point, the story beautifully portrays a mix of emotions, including love, longing, and regret.Was this review helpful to you?

The Story didn't intriguing me
The story is about a face swap, but then how did she have a mole below her right eye? Anyways.I didn't find anything interesting in the story. However, I liked the chemistry between the leads.
I also liked the acting. Otherwise, the story was quite common. There is a few romantic scenes which balanced the story.

Nice one
I liked the drama; however, two things confused me. First, who became the emperor—was it Geum or his older brother? Second, regarding the character Dong Yi, why didn't Cha Cheon Soo recognize her? He treated her as if he were meeting someone new.Overall, it was a long drama. They could have cut short some parts that seemed boring.

Tried to potrait good quality in main character as compared to real story. And succeed
After watching the ending, I was very curious to know the actual story because I was not satisfied with how the drama concluded. I read Jang Ok Jung's real story from two or three sources.In reality, she was a humble and kind person until the king noticed her. However, to keep everyone under her control, she crossed every limit. Her behavior stemmed from being constantly insulted for her low status. Eventually, she was ordered to take poison, and the king's affection for her faded completely.
In the drama, they changed her story by showing that the king's affection for her never diminished.
I didn't like this ending. Though I felt sympathy for her in the drama, knowing her real-life actions made me believe that the punishment she received was deserved.
I watched this drama only because of the male lead, and he truly nailed the role. His performance was absolutely amazing!

My only complain ,if it is fictional then why didn't give a satisfactory ending.
The drama mainly revolves around six characters: Yi Bang Won, "Sambong" Jung Do Jeon, Boon Yi, Ddang Sae/Lee Bang Ji (Boon Yi's brother), Mu Hyul, and Yi Seong Gye (Yi Bang Won's father).Apart from them, there are equally important characters, some of whom have a sad ending.
I liked the story overall. However, I didn't like the sad ending of Yeon He and the incomplete love story between the leads.
Everything else was good. I especially liked Mu Hyul's acting the most.

If it is based on true story then I have no words
A king, known for his cruelty, crosses every limit under the excuse of uniting the world. In the end, he is left with nothing.I decided to watch this drama solely because of the male lead. However, his character was cruel. Since I like the male lead, I always sought the good in his character, becoming biased and overlooking his wrongdoings.
From the beginning, the king made many mistakes. Since childhood, he loved a girl because she had saved his life. When he meets her again, he recalls that she saved him twice—she is his benefactor. However, his kindness toward her soon turns into an obsession. By any means—fair or foul—he wins her over and forces her to stay with him.
One day, he learns that she is carrying another man's child and tries to get rid of it. However, she threatens to take her own life if he does so. For her sake, he accepts the child. Over time, she begins to fall for him, touched by his kindness toward her and her child. But she doesn’t know what fate has in store for her.
If this story is based on real events, I have no words to comment. But if it is purely fictional, I am not at all happy with it. The story brings a tragic ending for all the main characters. Sorry for the spoiler. Also, I was not satisfied with the ending.
Lastly, I want to appreciate the female lead’s attire and hairstyle—both were amazing.

"Money Is Coming" is a 15-minute drama in which a girl experiences a sequence of moments from her past life, according to my understanding. She believes that these events will repeat in her present life, involving certain characters.After watching two or three episodes, I realized that she enters the author's world and becomes an obstacle between the two leads. However, I found the beginning a bit confusing—perhaps because I don’t understand Chinese.
Despite that, I enjoyed some elements of the drama. First, the male lead—his ruthless expressions in the first three episodes, his innocent face, and the way he smiles slightly—all of these captivated me. His attire was also particularly impressive.
I didn’t like the ending much, but I would recommend this drama to those who enjoy romance.

Not for me
There are many reasons why I dislike the movie.First and foremost, the songs. Since my mother tongue is Hindi, I couldn't connect with the songs, and that was one of the reasons for not liking them. Another reason is that the songs were from a very old era, and I had never heard such music before, making it difficult for me to enjoy them.
Secondly, I couldn’t connect with the tragic ending or the emotional love story between the male lead and the second female lead. The main reason is that the second female lead’s actions felt unjustifiable. She was well aware that he was her friend’s boyfriend, yet she crossed boundaries, which made it impossible for me to sympathize with her character. Moreover, the male lead also acted selfishly, which added to my disappointment.
Thirdly, what the female lead does in return to teach them a lesson crosses all limits. While it’s a movie, in reality, if a girl experiences such an emotional shock—where her best friend and her lover cheat on her—there are typically two outcomes: she either completely breaks down and never recovers, or she leaves them, moves on, and becomes emotionally distant. Additionally, she would probably learn never to trust anyone blindly again.
The story confused me about which character deserved my sympathy because all of them were at fault.
The only part that slightly touched me was the last scene when the male lead writes a letter asking for forgiveness. However, his words, "I don't love you," ruined all the emotions for me. Those words felt extremely harsh for the female character reading them, and it must have been devastating for her.
Overall, watching the movie felt like a waste of time for me.
