The Good Kids and The just Bad mother

This drama has a bit of everything I love with a side of cringe, anoying elements and more or less everything I hate in a drama... okay not everything but a lot leaving me conflicted as the parts I loved where so good, so good so good.. While I found myself anoyed at most of the characters overacting I also found myself kind of falling for the idea of an imperfect be it over the top found family. Though they seem to change their minds over the oddest things and have more changes of heart than a top thorax surgeon will preform in their lifetime. They still have som kind of hidden charm somwhere.

The lead couple is adorable in so many ways, predictable at times but oh so sweet giving this romance addict the fix I needed, better than a lot romance out there. And though this is not listed as a romance, the romence in this adds a whole lot of spice to the plot.

The mom, the way she acts and more or less everyghing about her was supposed to show nuaunce and what not but while here character as a person was lovable and fun to watch her methods and motherhood where so bad it made my blood boil.

The kids in this drama almost steal the show but they have fierce competition from the piglets, adding fluff and sweetness to this otherwise mostly dark show.

A decent watch, that is highly entertaining just mind the monologs, annoying elemants, healing and cringe and you will be fine...

Meeh

This was... okay I guess. The dubbing is awful, the filming feels really plastic/low budget and the plot makes no sense what so ever. Basically being another commercial for Chinas amazing development, and research of new energy, now focusing on minerals.

The female lead is pretty cool, she is smart and bas ass and forward yet makes the oddest incosistand desisosions.

The male lead is okay.. he has moments of respect and moments of wtf... but overall he is a rare mineral...

The second couples plot line is awful, a waste of time and just annoying.

Other characters had so bad and repetitive lines I felt bad for them...

At times I was entertained othe times I just wanted it to end... And honestly I did not care much for how it would end.

However there are a bunch if sweet moments and coolness that upped the score for this otherwise meeh, to just low quality dare I say lazy production.

Impressive production for a GL

Finally, a Lesbian story with a a high quality production with the added bonus of people with disabilities are people too and this gets a bunch of bonus points for being such a rare find... with a great start that easiely could have led this to be a 9 or even a 9,5 this was indeed a very promising drama. However then came some parts that where rushed, made little sense and tickled my oh come on nerve a little bit to much.

The acting is good, the cinematography lovely, the chemistry is on fire. The side couple is sweet but other side characters feel mostely meeh while they do show some common misconceptions and problems people with disabilities face their acting was meeh and they did not add enough to the story to make their time worth whils.

A decent GL that I do recommed, just mind the last couple of episodes...

1,2,3, ambush

This is one of those movies that is so bad you are pretty sure it was intentionally made to be bad.. it could be funny if you shared that type of humour... unfortunately I do not. Some of the short dialog is actually pretty good... mimicking the good old days of the 30s... or maybe 60s cinema. Consciously ignoring any progress made since then...

Watching this movie you will be subjected to som sort of short dialog (if any )blind guy gets amused, ambushers die,... repeat... Short dialog with women in trouble... women get ambushed, blind guy shows up... ambushers die... Repeat or mix the two...

An example of short dialog could go something like this:
Bad guy: Oh look I got this sward, lts test it out on the next beggar who passes by....

Bad guy ambushes the first beggar he sees pass by...

Beggar/our blind guy cuts of the dudes sward...

Showing yet again how how those on top (or on the way to the top) view those at the bottom. So yes the little dialog we get s not that bad.

Most of the men in this are bald, and some run around with spears, others with swards,The women seem to be pretty smart and there is a transgirl in here that gets misgendered a lot.

I have a lot of issues with both our so called blind guy as well as the way they talk about gender but I do appreciate some of the other parts leaving me confused and with a bit to many issues to level the score of this so bad it could be entertaining if you are in to that stuf... also so bad it is viewed as a masterpiece in some circles making me wonder what am I not getting... or it could just not be my type of sward...

Rewatch value high because you may need ot watch it a few times to get it

Also while I can not really recommend it as a whole, do watch a few scenes they are indeed kind of funny... the first time around... once you get to the tenth ambush the charm kind of subsides...

Innocent and sweet, but some grown ups suck

A short film that shows childhood at its sweetest, kids playing around on a beautiful beach, having fun and I guess just being kids. At times it made me wondering where are the grown ups but once one showed up I figured they could do better without them.

There is very little dialog, and not a lot of drama however one word is all it takes to change the course of a story and that part was done really well. Reminding me of parts of my own childhood and how grown ups kind of sucked back then too.

So if you are in the mood for some pretty scenery and kids being kids while teaching us a lesson or two this is a good place to find it.

When in need of fluff...

This is a sweet and fluffy story about a slightly lost teen who hides behind an a bit to bright smile and fake laughter to shelter himself from the homophobic eyes of the world... And the mature, kind, pondering type of guy who calls the lost boy out and tries to get him to relax and just be...

The mature boy has had to grow up a bit to fast and seems to shoulder the responsibility of his very loving and sweet family, all things that made him to be this slightly cold yet very understanding guy. As opposed to mr lost and slightly spontanious this guy takes his time to really think things over....

These two complete opposites have lovely dynamics and great conversations. However though the lost boy has a beautiful smile he felt just a little bit to child like and over the top which kind of bothered me, he also has a lot more screen time than any one else in this show.

So basically the side characters and one of the leads are lovely but the main lead bothered me a bit to much to be able to give this a full score. That said the rest make up for it and so does this sweet fluffy story and setting making it an overall ok watch when in need of fluff

People captivated by others may not captivate me but it was nice anyway

I can´t really say I was captivated by this but it did confuse me as well as show a bunch of people captivated by other people and a book that seems to have changed peoples lives which is kind of nice.

A moment of youth, people who happen to be at the same crossroad at the same time... a guy in a panda suit... It is actually pretty nice to see people show interest in other people beyond sexual attraction or stereotypes, just true interest in the person behind the uniform, or the cute panda suit. The person who proves that you may just meat a bear in the middle of Tokyo instead of a bunch of testosterone and what not we get to see a softer side to young men, sure there is a bully here too and the use of a monster/curse/ghost to hide away from crazed teens... So I can't really say it is all fluff and games. But somehow it feels kind of genuinely sweet and that is kind of nice.

Like I got to peek in to a window and see a moment in time, a moment of youth a moment that is far far away from me...

Sweet n Grabby Slightly Cold Male God

A sweet and short story about two best friends who struggle with the classic... Is this love that I am feeling? or is this just lust...Can I stand watching him run off with another girl... Can I a be happy for him as long as he is happy or do I feel the need to own the guy? Or am I just going to be happy watching...

This while trying to navigate a heteronormative society with some clueless friends and other less clueless people around,

A fluffy way of providing teenage angst, hot n cold mix of pretty much every fall in love with my best friend type of drama mos of the viewers of youth dramas have seen so far... So not really anything new but fun and lovable characters (at times slightly creepy). Nice friendships and a sister that reminded me of the sister in Heart Stopper... Our cold male lead does need to learn to find healthy ways to release his emotions instead of holding them in and risking doing things he may regret.

An easy binge with pretty food, scenery and decent entertainment value also I kept wondering if one of them was going to die as they seemed to catch colds from the slightest touch of rain...

Fun

This was so much fun, short, to the point without fillers, overly annoying characters (okay one slightly annoying)... It offers us a bunch of interesting characters some more or less predictable twists, and moments of surprise not so much twists more of that is not how this trope usually goes type of deal making this a highly enjoyable watch.

The male lead is the cutest guy ever, the way he expresses his lust and feelings is outstanding and very gifworthy.
The female lead is pretty cool, she has some moments of "oh come on", but she is lovable and interesting.
The villains are surprisingly well written and have more depth than one can expect in shuch a short drama. The kid in this drama is a great shipper, the friends and other supporting characters do not steal the show and assist the story just right.

Short as this drama is, it left me satisfied, not that I would mind more episodes, I felt like what was needed to be said was said wrapping the story up well. It is not high quality, nor is it some kind of low budget masterpiece... But it is definitely a drama I recommend to most romance lovers out there.

A whole lot of good stuff begingn with the letter C

This is another one of those dramas that combines a lot of stuff I enjoy watching. While I am willing to admit that this pretty much lacks depth and substance, it does have a whole lot of great stuff that begin with the letter C: Cliche
Characters, Co habitation, Contract, Cinderella story, Combos, Cold leads, Crushes (unrequited), Cute dog, Cool Lads/siblings... Cunning parents, Cuddly parents, Cuddling Cuople, Corruption, Conning, Cuteness overload and and so on and so on...


This is in no way a masterpiece, but it is an entertaining watch with the usual twists, a lovely family and is a easy binge that even had me feeling a bunch of stuff...

So if you love your C's this is a great Choice!

Fun watch and indeed a bunch of people who wanted to become family with others

This is one of those dramas that pretty much lacks all substance but is highly addictive making you, me , whoever is slighlty addicted to fluff press that next episode button over and over again.

The characters are more or less lovable at different stages of this drama, while the male lead has his evil moment and evil intentions he is pretty much lovable and fun to watch from start to finish. The female lead on the other hand is smart, funny and hard working most of the drama but has a few episodes of wtf out of character stupidity that I am going to pretend never happened to avoid lowaring the score.

The kids are sweet, the second female lead would make a great female lead to another female lead or in a story about sisterhood... The female leads best friend is bad ass but also annoying at times... predictable and brings 0 new to the story at all.. As I feel I have seen her in 80% of the c-dramas out there.

The villain is badly written, fine the person does stand for a bunch of drama, keeping this from becoming to fluffy. But other than that I feel like the whole villain plot is just off... And males 0 sense. Not for lack of trying but it just fell flat.

The dialog, parenting and all things that involved kids had some good parts but most of it had me questioning if the writers ever actually met a kid, a parent or could grasp the notion of building a relationship with kids based on honesty and trust beyond cute moments.

Still there are a bunch of grand gestures, bickering and people who come and go... nice kisses and I do believe the couple was indeed fun to watch.

Mess in the Rain

"I can literally hear your thoughts yet you still managed to keep that a secret for so long..."

It is rare to find a drama where the thing that makes most sense in the whole plot is two people being able to communicate telepathically when it rains as everything else is just such a mess. A messy pace, a messy story, messy illogical decisions and messy friendships.

That said the characters are entertaining to watch, especially the second couple who stole the show for me. Or at least their characters where the most (maybe only) lovable characters on this show. The show also manages to fit in a lot of tropes, and by that I mean a lot.. and could easily clear the whole game born in a game of cliche bingo giving us amnesia, cohabitation, lying, misunderstanding, betrayal, umbrellas, wrist grabs, vehicle of doom, kidnapping, controlling parents, gagsters... If you have seen it in a drama you will probably see it here too.

Entertaining at times but not really good.

Sugar, Sweet, Love...

I am just going to say that I loved it, the characters, the friendships I even enjoyed watching the misunderstandings and the whole process of figuring out ones passion, love and waht not... In this lovely opposites attract and bring. out the best of each other friendship and romance.

The found family in this drama is one of those that will make you want to start working part time at a convenience store if it means you will make friends as good as these.

Though there are times I found myself slightly frustrated with the pacing, this drama does do a pretty decent job showing complex emotions and how hard it can be to break habits as well as move on from a crush, a relationship, a set back at work. This drama also offers some pretty good dialog and analogies here and there.

So what can I say this was just my type of drama with all the right tropes an easy binge and a female lead that I truly fell in love with.

Lot´s of kisses and fluff with a side of darkness

Watching Bae In Hyuk kissing 10 different girls in about 7 different ways can sound a bit off but will definitely satisfy all your kissing needs for a while. That said the drama may be all about kisses but our male lead is so much more showing a bunch of emotions, smiles and pretty much acting like the perfect guy any human being would fall for.

The female leads (Jeon Hye Won) character is a tad conservative in her views on kissing but her hate towards human beings is very admirable as well as well portrayed and slightly relatable, luckily I found my own goblin so I do know there are some good ones out there but with toxic masculinity and gender conventions a slight hate towards man kind is only natural and indeed well portrayed in this very short production.

The Jeon Hye Wons character may be lovely but her acting skills could be improved, the friendships here are the type you will long for but for such a short what I assume is not very high budget show it tackles some issues, has both slightly less predictable and more predictable twists as well as tells a pretty decent story.

All in all a short and enjoyable watch

P.S 8,5 rating is based the titles category and other similar productions, so set your expectations towards 12 min/12 episode web dramas and not a full length drama
