Sweet, short slightly confusing

This web drama is really cute with a slightly confusing love triangle a great female lead, great friendships, lovely flirting scenes and an intro that just makes you happy (I do not know why but it does).

The two male leads have both adorable and not so adorable sides to them, me otherwise being a succer for the icicle psychopath wounded sole types found myself conflicted between the two polar opposites finding myself both annoyed and slightly feeling for them just wanting to give the whole cast of this a big hug...

I started watching this because it was number 27 on my ptw after I had asked my husband to pick a number it was definitely an easy to watch easy to binge type of series so for those in need of something in between master pices or heavy stuff this is definitely worth watching.

Short but cute

This is a very short something, listed as drama but well I would not go that far as to call it one...
This feels low budget and even though I know nothing of the budget I will rate it as such, the OST is amazing really setts the mood and is overall nice. a bit repetitive if you watch the whole thing in one go (it takes like an hour) but sweet and nice.

The side characters acting skills and placement on the annoying scale very from great even better than the leads to omg that person just needs to stop... But overall it was sweet.


The young lead had some annoying moments but the older guy and his friend rocked in both acting and characterwise I loved them, almost shipped them but hey if a guy falls in love with another guy at first sight who am I to ship him off with his probably hetero best friend... but Oh how I think I liked the older guys best friend. But the main couple is pretty sweet too and may give you some butterflies (it did give me some), and well nobody forces anything on anyone and that is always a + (sorry is that a spoiler).

Att the end they tell us that this whole thing was filmed with a galaxy s21 and that actually did both not surprise me and impress me at the same time. All in all definitely worth being watched but not a masterpiece .

Sweet, fluffy, with a touch of this takes forever and ever to move along...

This drama is much like its prequel very slow at times making you wonder if you will notice if you watch it in double speed. The relationship progresses bothe very quickly and frustratingly slowly at the same time. It is refreshing to see a male lead being cautious (almost too cautious) with a relationship as well as seeing a female lead take charge and not only be passive. This whole extreme caution and slight awkwardness from the male lead makes for great humour the few times he takes initiative.

I loved the dynamics between the main coupla, the side characters all had their roles and they did them well. There was some drama but not a lot of it, the drama was however completely different in its manner than the prequel so to be honest other than the leads and occasional back flashes this drama has very little to do with it.

Watching the very sloooooow prequal see copy paste, or click on the link in the comments for my review of one and only https://mydramalist.com/profile/Shirioink/review/172709 . I do however think watching the prequel will give you a sence of longing and make you appreciate this drama more than it´f you have not watched it, so it is not necessary but I do recommend it and the order does matter because forever and ever does include a bunch of spoiler from one and only.

I loved how the male lead kept to his personality without compromising his affection as well as the way both the leads handheld drama cliche situations in an admirable manner. I especially loved the way this drama handled the issue of trust and jealousy even if it at times bordered on co dependency.

I also loved the use of pets in the drama, but tidd miss the beautiful umbrellas from season one... well you can not have it all I guess...

All in all definitely worth watching but beware of its slooooooow pace that will drive you nuts at times and is the reason for the 8 and not 9.

Like Armageddon but anciaent and bloodier

This movie kept reminding me of the Amercan Movie Armageddon from 1998 and Aerosmiths song that follows. So If Gorgyo was earth and the Tankg dynasty was an astroid, horses where space ships and... okay so maybe not many simularityes there but like Armageeddon but extraelmy different movie with a lot of blood, and not one but a bunch of so called great batles...

The movie itself is pretty well made the OST is not amazing but it fits and setts the mood well. We get to seee several sides to a sotory as well as the implications of wasr and sacrafice. Questioning who th etraitor really is. The movie also shows human relations in a nice way and has some pretty good oneliners such as" Do you only choose th ebatles you can win" (or something like that) as well as some other lines that I have already forgotten but I think they where about the value of the people and what is worth protecting.

The movie is pretty blunt letting us hear them call right out the evils of wat when the concuring armeys pepp talk includes such lovely ideas as "MAke their childern your slaves and rape all their women (luckeyly they do not show those rapes on screen) but a whooooole lot of blood.

All n all a pretty okay watch for those in to less feelings, less romance and more blood fire, blood and more blod, did I mention blood?

Oh it also has some pretty beutiful scenerey.

Funny, informative and really, really sweet that makes gret use of TYU ( the yellow umbrella) !

This speciall is adoarable, sweet, funny informative and most deffenetly entertaining. combining some of my favorite tropes.

The yellow umbrella, a previos user name of mine and my all time favorite inanimate object has a great role in this drama, so for all you TYU.lover out there this is a must watch!

At times this speicell feels like an advertisment for staying in school and the importance of studying, since it may actually save your life if you find yourself in the jeoson era, having knowlade in math and history may just be the difference between survivin and beeing banished or killed.

The special also makes great use of the crossdressing trope, no she is not the least bit convincing as a guy, but she does motevate all of her desissions and even thogh this is a very heteronormative show it does not use the steps in between in a way that I perseved as homofobic or disrespectfull ,

The actors did an amazing jobb Kim Seul Gi is just brilliant and every word is provided seems to come out naturally, bit the one liners as well as the very obvious prodoct placement, that just kept me lauging.

The scenery here is so pretty with a lot of beutifull sunset shots by the sea,

All in all I wish this has more episodes, but seeing how short this is I really can not fin a reason for anyone not to give it a try.

Kept me on my toes with all the right tropes

This drama was slightly torture to watch and made me wonder at times if this drama will end up being renamed unrequited love, friendzoned or most men suck... Yet still had me guessing (pretty predictable guesses), laughing and enjoying some seemingly endless bickering and teasing between the main couple. Some of the characters are just to "good" to be human and that can get to be a bit to much but otherwise all the character serve their purpose well and are a delight for both the eye and mind.

To be honest it is hard to put my finger on exactly what made me give this 9,5 stars seeing it did torture me at times and make me want to tell the characters come on get your act together.Maybe just maybe the lack of having ones act together made it a bit more real in between all the perfect people in the drama. The female leads mom and brother top my list of people who bring out my inner anger. ​I must also say that allot of "bad behaviour" did get called out and even if it could be interpreted as romantic it did not just pass by like in many other c-dramas. It could also just be that this drama has high entertainment value and high emotional value making you feel a whole lot of anger, love, hate and happienesss all in one drama.


All in all a very enjoyable drama to watch that I recommend to any C-drama lover out there

Sweet a bit too religious for my personal taste but I love this angele to it...

This movie is really sweet, the main couple is adorable and their story is pretty typical guy who thinks he is straight falls for another guy and struggles with it. Not much new to that but also something always nice to to watch. what I do love is the way they for once let gay people be religious. So yes I love the representation here, the way the religion is portrayed and even if I personally am not a big fan of the whole jesus loves you theme when it comes to my personal belief as an atheist, It is not really my cup of tea to watch. However the freedom of religion person within me is thrilled with this type of movie. It brought down the entertainment value but I am really happy this movie exists and hope many people will watch it!

A sweet bunch of cliches

Those who know me know that I am team cliche, so this drama was right up my ally with allot of wonderful recognisable cliches. No annoying characters and as far as I can see no one actually forcing themselves on the other, if it weren't for the co-habitation and cliches I would seriously have questioned if this was a c-drama or something else, but yes it was most sertainy a c-drama.

Most of the twist where predictable but they did have their own touch to many common beloved characters and twists so a plus on that. The goose in this drama is very charming and has won my heart as well as did make for quite some humor in to the romance making way for the following line: "I want to watch the snow and walk the goose with you"

The female lead is a bit too naive for me to give this drama more stars but is at least not stupid enough to make me wonder how on earth she survived so far... The male lead is the common lovable melting Icicle and all the friendships in the drama are lovely. The dubbing is however pretty bad, which is kind of funny since the female lead is a voice actress...

All in all a decent watch but not much more.

It kept me on my toes, made me confused and made my heart flutter just enough

To be honest I do not know if I want to give this 10 or 9,5 stars but it got 10 stars the sole reason for this is that it has some amazing lines that deal with some of my absolute favorite issues in a very natural not forced kind of way.

The story was not perfect in any way and is probably an acquired taste but it kept me interested, it kept me guessing and it made me put my hand over my eyes once or twice... but still it was very enjoyable as well as relatable with an added bonus of pretty faces, pretty bodies and dimples.

The family representation here is just beautifully done, so are the conflicts within oneself as well as with the outer world, the ost fits in and there is truelley a wide spread of characters that both embrace the stereotype and break it. And I am a firm believer in making way for the spectrum instead of having to distance oneself from the stereotype so added bonus for this. I also enjoyed seeing some of the city in the Philippines it was very charming.

All in all I gave it 10 stars so, yes I liked it and recommend others to watch it too.

Funny and ehmm... odd

What happens when 3 very different women just happen to run away from their lives, att the exact same time and place? Well of course they help each other out and build a new family?

This little shoe may not have the greatest quality or for that matter greatest script but it is pretty funny to see how fast misunderstanding can accumulate and lead to a whole lot of mess as well the true value of shoes.

From a man not letting his wife put or running shoes, to the woman running away in heels. We see that heals may not be the easiest to run in but are a better weapon than slippers. The relationship between these 3 women is just adorable to watch and is great contrast to the men's way of understanding and communicating.

All in all definitely worth being watched, just mind the quality.

A feel good, fight back, feel mad kind of movie

This movie is kind of sweet and pretty interesting showing very clearly the prejudice against both teen pregnancies and woman as a whole while pointing out and society's lack of safety nets in an a tad absurd and to far way...

What I loved about the movie was the dialog and the women sticking up for each other. I also loved the teen, she was probably smarter and waaaay cooler than all the adults in this drama but without loosing her status as a teen. I also loved how they over and over pointed out the absurdity in putting all the responsibility and blame on the teen mom when she clearly did not get pregnant on her own.

The grown up lead is not very nice, and that is okay too, she does have some growth but not to much growth and is most certainly less mature than the teen she has taken under her wing, giving the viewers a chance to hate her as wall as feel for her at times.

Other grown ups in charge of this teen and moms in general in this movie bring out my less pacifictic side, so do most of the men with one pretty awesome exception giving hope to all men out there, yes you can do it , you can be responsible lovable human being if you try.

All in all not really a masterpiece but definitely worth watching.

Just not as good as the first season...

This sequel was okay, but a bit of e mess, I am not really sure what the main theme of the sequel is and it does not really wrap things up as much as I had hoped. I would have wanted to see more of the process and more dialog between the first couple because this drama seems to have one foot on a second couple, a hand on a third couple and well I guess a foot in the air for the first couple from season one, I am left with the feeling of having missed some scenes, will there be a 3ed season for those or are should I use my imagination? I do not know.

The first couple is however very sweet and lovable but do need to learn how to communicate with words instead of body language (both seem to have a pretty wide vocabulary), While Shi de is in desperate need of a lesson in the notion of consent, Shu Yi is needs to learn how to ask instead of assuming and also to control his emotions. But other then that they are really sweet ;)

The second couple had allot of potential to be interesting and sweet but just did not catch my interest at all and the third well, they could have been interesting if they had more screen time but fall flat.

Still worth watching, a third season could make up for all the plot holes, so if there will be one I advise you to wait with this till season 3 is out.

Not the fluff you may be used to, but one of the better portrayals of student emotions in a c-drama

If you are in it for the c-fluff, you may want to look elsewhere, this drama is very different from the typical happy, fluffy, together we can do it vibe many school c-dramas otherwise give off, Here we get to learn that the world is unfair, things do not always go as you wish and actions have consequences. Mind blowing, right. The students here also tend to spend time studying as well being youths with impulses, emotions and a tendency to mess up their future.

What I loved about this drama was the lack of sugar coating, and the real feel to it, the drama made me both infuriated and sad as well as made me appreciate the friendships portrayed. This drama did a good job at showing the importance of friendship and supporting each other but also the importance of having at least one teacher who believes in you and cares- Especially in a system that seems to have a bunch of people in power who are just selfabsorved meanies using kontrol and fear instead of trying to find the good in ever student. Those types of people scare the h*** out of me and should not get near students let alone teach or run a school.

This drama also shows how wrong valuing students and treating students differently based on their performance is. Showing how schools enlarge the gap between students instead of offering all students the help they deserve. It also shows the importance of second chances and finding motivation within. Not to mention how dangerous pressure can be for a student.

What it failed to do was make my heart flutter, thought there is plenty of build up for puppy love and several couples the drama stays more real then cater to romance and cliches (I love cliches), the relationships are overall healthy and actually manage to keep clear from toxicity but they also stay clear of the good stuff. So if you want to see puppy love and fluff you will probably end up disappointed. However the growth, the friendship and the issues in this drama are definitely worth watching.

Also, the actors did a great job, the OST did its job and I would say the quality of this drama is overall pretty good.

This is definitely a rare gem among the manny school dramas out there, and is most certainly worth watching, just do not expect fluff or feel good while watching. it is more of a feel sad get mad kind of drama.
