Toothache Sweet wWith a Dentist on Top

So Sweet it will give you a toothache... or maybe it is more like make you want to go to the dentist... However this drama is actually nothing special it has some trauma here and there, decent pace, some romance some minor drama, a bunch of insecurities... And a few tropes I enjoyed and some I enjoyed a bit less.

The dentist male lead is a lovely slightly cold but also straight forward and the type to use words while still staying cold.

The Restaurant owner male lead is a bit childish at times, in a mostly cute way, he is bubbly, kind and an overall interesting character though I am not an expert his portrayal of trauma management feels a bit off...

Having a lot of scenes at the dentists office with teeth is not really my thing as I do not enjoy needless or looking in to peoples mouthes so I found myself looking away more often then in a drama with gore in it so be warned.

There are no annoying characters in this drama, a bunch of good friendships and found family. However yet another BL with mature adults that included a couple with a person who is legally an adult but who has not really passed puberty felt unnecessary the characters where good enough as they where.

Other then that there are some nice food shots, lovely hoodies and great scenes shot in the rain... So though it may not be a masterpiece it is highly bingeable, sweet and definitely worth a watch.

Spiked rose water with a dash of sun...

I beg your pardon... I never promised you a rose garden... However it is pretty much what you will get here, pretty flowers with thorns that dry up in the heat... Or something like that... there are at least a lot of roses. This drama is not good, it is not bad it is good not mediocre, but it will grab your attention and once you get in to it becomes extremely addictive and highly entertaining... Like some kind of rose drug...

The amount of annoying elements, things that make 0 sense, overacting and characters you wish where dead is huge as you will probably want to punch all but maybe 3 of the cast at one pint or another. The leads take turns at being the character you want to punch, the one you want to hug ,send to prison... . The male leas has more red flags than the red flag campaign (yes there is such a thing). But they are both mostly smart, and interesting to watch plus heir chemistry, bickering, mood-swings is just lovely, they are extremely charming and they are indeed both very nice to look at. But again this must come with a warning do not do this at home, do not set this up as relationship goals...

The story has a few very predictable twists and others that I would not say took me by surprise but where not as predictable as the rest. The amount of cliches is almost overwhelming, luckily I love cliches but if you do not then this drama is definitely not for you. The scenery is also very lovely. The editing is a bit off, the acting varies in quality and though the music is a bit repetitive it is very catchy and could be one of this dramas biggest spoilers telling you who are supposed to be the villains, who are supposed to fall in love etc...

All in all a highly addictive fun to watch drama for those who do not really care about quality and can live with a bunch of annoying characters you will want to strangle.

I felt something therefore I scored it highly.... Probably too highly...

This is the story of the very innocent girl who got lured in to the miss understood bad boys bed and well after that life went all bananas. The acting is kind of off, the story predictable and packed with a bunch of cliches but honestly this movie is from 2007 so it actually came before all those other movies and dramas I have seen with similar plot lines so I really should not complain and I am pretty sure that MEME (thai writer) has seen this movie a long side a bunch of K-drama writers and of course a few J-drama writers too...

The first half of this movie was a bit like a rocket launch fast paced and had me thinking over and over again well that escalated quickly.... Just for the rocket to run out of fuel about 30,000 km up and fall in super speed right to the ground... Still pretty faset paced but all goes to ****. So basically In a short period of time we experience a lot of more or less interesting situations. Do they handle any of them remotely well? Probably not? But at least something happens...

And even if I did not fall in love with the characters acting skills there was something that got to me... If you are the type easily prone to tears you may cry in this. For me it was just light fog at the corner of my eye. But I can definitely se people crying while. watching this.

So if you are looking for the beloved guilty pleasure of bad boy takes good girl and turns her bad, or just looking for a bunch of fluff... You may just wanna look somewhere else but if you can handle a bit of everything and want to see soemthing pre smart phones this is definitely a decent place to find it.

Secret Recording, Playful Puppy

The start of Off Gun is worth watching and is therefore about 90% of the reason I did not score this lower.

The story itself is mostly sweet, boys do all in their power except for honesty (but who needs that in a drama) to save the club that saves the stray animals... Yes a lot of saving here....

Girl saviour (the only one who can save the club) is terrified of dog, but gets stalked of a fluffy puppy to the point of giving in... Girls best friend falls in love with fluffy puppies best friend and well that is pretty much it.

There are a lot of sweet scenes and playfulness thru out however the intrigues are predictable and not very well executed, the story lacks depth and very little of the drama makes any sense what so ever/ is under developed and rushed as the female lead has serous trust issues and the male lead is only good at stalking and pretty much nothing else.

But then we have Gun, oh my dear sweet Gun who makes this show worth while... He is fun, has good lines and is just his usual self. His dynamics with off are very familiar too... Though Off is not as much as a **** as he is in some of their other dramas...

Fluff: 9
Intrigues 2
Bingabilaty: 10
Acting:varies, some good some bad

So if you like fluffy animals, this will fill your need but twill not be enough to keep you, if you are a fan of any of the cast and love animals this is definitely a show worth watching... As for me I am off to watch season 2... or maybe not right away...

What a difference a day makes...

This movie starts off a bit meeh, with some questionable slightly low humour, meeh quality, meeh characters... yep meeh indeed.

But then comes the male lead, who is charming, fun, oddly relatable and that actually takes medicine for his illness and has bruises, symptoms, and though he does have some mood swings his decisions, worries, and reactions make a lot of sense. He also has a lovely sense of humour which is obviously his way of dealing with his illness.

The female lead was annoying at first but she grew on me, she is a bit impulsive, but also fun and her chemistry with the male lead is pretty decent.

There are perts that seem can seem to glorify suicide and death by renaming it being taken by aliens, and though I do think they take the subject a bit to lightly, they do shed light on som pretty big problems in society, and deal with loss, pain, loneliness, guilt of being a burden on your family and even squeeze in a crappy biological father.

Though the filming and well everything in the begging was bit meeh, the scenery and situations towards the end were really pretty, and though I did have to turn off my brain at times I did end up actually wanted to see more of these two.

P.s. I even shed a tear or two in this, so they managed to get to me though the meeh

Zero to Hero to Zero to Hero and so on...

This movie is based on a true story, and though we can not know how true every element is, the story does come off as believable, at times a bit sad other times uplifting and so on, focusing more on the process than the actual Zero and Hero part

What I like about this story is that it is not afraid to confront the use of people with disabilities to inspire able bodied people... with a whole lot of if he can so should you and so on as there is quite a bit of criticism towards the add industry and how Paralympic athletes are treated. Along side the day to day life and importance becoming a hero has for the athlete with a disability for as as long as they can classify as heroes they will not be treated as badly as other people with disabilities. Do not get them wrong they still get treated as stereotypes, get controlled and risk being used by others to add on the stereotyping of people with disabilities. But at least they have a chance at making a living.

I also like how they show the people in this movie as humans, both the able bodied and disabled people portrayed here are not made to look neither overly pathetic or too heroic. The brother who was brought to the world just to take care of his brother does not just accept his destiny and shows that having a brother with a disability is not always fun and games either.

However there is something about the way it was edited that seemed at times to speak agains itself, on the one hand saying do not use people with disabilities as inspirational crap, but also please look at this montage with violins and mix in the real guy this is based on to try to get the viewers to feel a bunch of emotions which kind of put me off.

To sum it up a pretty good movie, not without its problems but defiantly a movie worth watching.

Kisses....

This is the story of the guy who had a girlfriend but kissed a boy and he liked it... More precisely he kissed a very drunk boy, who was so drunk he thought he was kissing someone else... But that does not really matter as he quickly got over the first unattainable guy to fall for the guy with the girlfriend.

And well that is how the story goes people kiss people they should not be kissing, they get caught in one way or another, regret kissing whom ever they should not have been kissing... people break, up people get back together and some vlogger reports more or less factual details about them...

The guy with the girlfriend is very possessive and self admittedly jealous, not of his girlfriend but of the guy he kissed. The guy who got kissed is sweet as a button.

There is not much substance or plot to this show and honestly it feels very oddly cut, and it feels like some parts went missing, However it was entertaining enough for me to be curious about "Love Mechanics"

A lovely mix of fluffy ingredients

This is such a feel good dose of cheese, sweetness and fluff... There may not be a lot of substance, and there are som episodes that where a bit more meeh than others and one episode even got on my nerves but over all these guys deliver enough to satisfy whatever need of fluff you may have. As this drama shows us them with a baby, a cat, chocolate, mixes in a little bit of music, jealousy, friendship and just about everything fun to watch.

The boys have great chemistry and are the definition of "you complete me" type of deal. Both with humour, smiles and lots, and lots of cooking.

when I started it I felt that I wanted to savour it for a long, long time, but my curiosity got the best of me and I ended up watching it a bit faster than I planned. But Why savour when you can just rewatch episodes of clips whenever you need some fluff?

This is in no way a high quality masterpiece, and is very much a commercial done right. Do not expect greatness just because I gave it a 9, the 9 is solely based on entertainment value and fluff! The type to make you fall for both Jeff and Gameplay (if you have not already).

Sweet as Ho(r)ney

This is a short drama overflowing with honey, insecurities, smiles, fluff and what may be a record in speed and sexscenes...

As the couple gets married on the first date, this is anything but a marriage of convenience. this is the type of drama you watch for the fluff, it´s kissing scenes, the pure inner monologs etc. As we get to know the reason the female lead decides to go for a spur of the moment wedding, we are kept on our toes wondering... As they seem to be playing with common tropes, we feel like we should know what is up a head but the viewers , much like the female lead are bound to have trust issues.
Can a man be this cute? Is he just playing with her? Is he just using marriage as a fast way to get girls in bed? are these red or white flags we are witnessing? Why the *** did this guy want to merry her? did he stalk her pre wedding? Is this just the result of a bet? seriously why would a seemingly perfect guy want to marry the first gal he sees?

Both leads have smiles that are huge and reach out through the screen as they use their whole face to smile, and win the audience over. The female leads insecurities can be a bit over whelming at times however she does come of as popular, kind, charming competent and in no way week. The male lead is mysterious, kind?, the type who does not force himself on the female lead he rather waits for her to not only love him but long for him and show her desires, all done in a rater playful slightly cunning way. This guy shows the audience that there are men that no matter how horny they may be they can actually read their partners signals and listen to this, wait to pick up the mood another day... as well as show the ability to take responsibility and rather practice safe sex than do something they may regret. All things that seemed almost too good to be true for a drama.

The side characters are true supporting characters there to move the plot along, add slight spark and drama... Without being annoying or overbearing.

This is definitely a good dose of honey and spice, to up your thirst and make you feel all gooey inside.

Annoying elements: 0

Depressing and messy

I am honestly trying to grasp what I actually watched, I do not really know what I was expecting and am not really sure what I got as the story seems a bit oddly cut and left a whole lot of blanks for the viewers to fill in on their own and they go back and fourth in time have and have a lot of quiet thought. Honestly rather they are deep in conversation or completely silent... though the issues are relatable I find it hard to connect to the story, the acting is inconsistent, sometimes it is mind-blowing other times I am not sure if it is the dialog, the sound or the action but it feels forced in a way and comes of very unnatural.

The whole movie loses depression and darkness as it should considering it's subject, there're some good and interesting lines about who to blame in the event of a sueside others about dealing with an inevitable death near by... Unfortunately these were cut short and could have been done better, but they do get points for actually showing this and attempting to approach this not so very happy subject.

All in all an ok watch, not very entertaining and kind of lacking but it has something in it that still makes it worth a watch, I just can not really put my finger on what it is, maybe you will? O r I may just have to watch it again to understand it. However it was not very entertaining so I probably won't (actually I did re-watch a few scenes just to check if I missed something, I didn't)

Sweet and Dark

This is a good movie, both quality. story and entertainment wise... Slightly painful to watch this movie takes us on a journey of hardship and romance with a fluffy dog to ease the pain...

What Liked more...
Great acting, good story, cute dog+ lovable mains, no annoying characters, people with disabilities portrayed as human beings worthy of love and not just a walking inspirational story... Complex mains with lots of character development, chemistry between the leads... Good balance of sweet and dark scenes.The way it incorporated issues facing woman and people with disabilities without it taking over the main focus but rather added and acted as an accelerator for it. The very human non super human the mains are.

What I liked less...
Somewhat predictable twists, though I did not know what was going to go happen at one point it was very clear that X was going to happen at a certain point in time, just not exactly how it would happen.

I did not cry but I can see where many people would cry while watching this movie and is certainly a movie worth watching!

Kid's do not do stupid s***, also there will not be a Dimond, so do not look for it.

To be honest this started off a bit boring and is one of those movies that seems to spoil itself... it was not really that the pace was slow or anything wrong with the start it was just kind of cliche with the slight difference that the lead was not very lovable which I kind of liked...

"That boy is going to make something of himself" did however not age well unless death row is making something of ones self... which it kind of is, so maybe I will take this back and just say... pay attention to those words... and think about what they can do to a person...

However as the story goes on it does get more and more interesting and actually does manage to bring a tear or two to my eye, even if it has highly predictable twists, they are done pretty well. With quite a few touching scenes it also shows complicated family ties and the difference between the friendships that build you and those who destroy you...

I guess the lessons here are pretty ok...

The scenery is pretty, the acting is good the OST is just full of violins... and not much more.

However this feels real in a way many similar movies and dramas do not...

Definitely a movie worth watching if you just get passed that first not so mind-blowing half...

Hot and Spicey Cotton Candy...

This drama is like just like I view Park Bo Young so sweet, spicy, cute, sweet, cute, fun,...

Bong Soon is the ultimate Hot and Spicy Cotton Candy. and this is one of my all time favorite dramas. who happens to have the scene that inspired my username. to be honest some of the humor is a bit low, there are some scenes that on their own may be questionable but if you try to look at this dram as a whole you may just find it quite progressive and that the humor you may have found slightly questionable at times when put in to the context of the whole drama is actually not that bad and does get addressed in one way or another depending on what you look at, and how you understand it...

Sorry If I sound vague and complicate things but once you watch it,you may understand what I am trying to say..

What I love about this drama is the chemistry between the leads and the way this couple interacts and shows respect towards each other giving us some of Dramalands sweetest scenes. I also love the many, many contrasts shown in this drama, soft hard, sweet strong, funny-serious issue... The fighting scenes here are just so cute and bad ass at the same time. And I love how they show how society's norm restrict women from showing strength but also how the many, many men in this drama are portrayed differently making way for both macho, evil, vulnerable, understanding and kind..

I love this drama so much that few articles feel complete without it... It may not actually be that great if looked upon with an objective eye To be honest there are some scenes that are ok to skip and should probably lesson the score but those two leads make up for every one of those scenes making this a dram I would gladly rate higher if I could, yest the main couple is just that adorable...And it just makes me feel all fuzzy inside (even though it has some pretty dark scenes)... Making it one of the most memorable dramas in Dreamland and the second most popular k-drama for a reason, if you ask me it is a lot more entertaining them the number one drama...

So if you by chance have not watched it yet then just go for it... And if you have already seen it why not watch it again?
