Little Gem

Short and sweet. This was a mini series with very short episodes but it was really amazing. There were some scenes that I watched several times because it was just that funny. It is honestly a really cute and sweet series. There are a few heartfelt moments within it with tons of laughs. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for something short and sweet to watch especially if you’re in need of a good laugh. It was that good.

I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for something short and sweet to watch. You’re most certainly smile, swoon and laugh at the same time.

Okay

First thing I want to say is yes we have two very popular leads. An amazing male either most of us love and will watch whatever these in because it’s him. The female lead has her talent as well but her variance in acting and personality pale compared to our male lead. However in this series both of them are exactly the same. The series is a melo drama which I didn’t expect. So I guess it’s my fault for not reading the synopsis.

The good: The scenery is great. The history of cast members is so captivating and it shows an innocent love and also shows how deep and sincere it was. There is not A significant amount of wicked people or extremely crazy people which is quite refreshing. The story is very unique and then it really makes you wonder what you would do if you were in that situation. Not only that, the situation that the leads are in is very complicated.

The bad: it really seems too slow, somewhat uneventful and sad. There were very few if any upbeat moments which leaves you with this sort of melancholy feeling. I think that when they smiled there was a slow piano tune being played while they speak in the background. You may get a scene or two where there may be joy but that is very very few and far in between. Slow-yes, sweet-only the past, romantic- only the past
Chemistry- the past.

I really wanted to like this. For the most part it’s decent. I just really did not expect it to be so slow. Although the two leads are great actors and actresses, I feel like their chemistry is just not there. I really expected a little more from these but this all seems to sum up to nothing. Most of the stuff is flash backs.

This series is for the mature audience. That’s not to say that it has graphic scenes or anything gory it’s just one of those slow and steady sentimental romance series. This series revolves around the past and the present. You will see a lot of flashbacks from our two leads in the past and their time together and then it will switch to the present. The past was soft, subtle and cute and the present was just as warm. Of course there is the conflict that makes things difficult but as always it pans out. I am pleased with the ending. I was a bit nervous because it really did seem like one of those really slow pace melodramatic romance series that has a bad ending but they gave a gratifying one considering the tone and the pace of the series. This is not a romantic comedy. This is not an upbeat series. This is not one of those witty plotting dramas either although there is some plotting and manipulation. It the piano playing in the background type of romance. Everything is done eloquently. You’ll get a kiss or peck in about 2 of the episodes.

Short, sweet and exciting. The series is one that focuses tai chi and those who are descendants of the clans along with their rivals.
The series starts out somewhat upbeat and seems to maintain its consistency throughout. It revolves around the martial arts community. Are two main leads are a female who has been taught a martial arts outside of a particular client in the male lead who appears to be a descendent of the clan. Without revealing too much about series The series starts out somewhat upbeat and seems to maintain its consistency throughout. It revolves around the martial arts community. Our two main leads are a female who has been taught a martial arts outside of a particular clan in the male lead who appears to be a descendent of the clan. Without revealing too much about the series I wouldI will say that a form of a relationship develops and they both begin to grow.
The fights in this series are amazing. One scene I watched at least 4 times. The community dynamic is so so. There are some bonds, betrayal, secrets and twist. Overall it was worth it to watch. Although the series has been categorized as youth/school, the martial arts piece is superb. If you’re looking for a martial art series to watch I would recommend this. It doesn’t go in-depth in terms of showing teaching concepts but you get to see some cool things.
What I didn’t like about this it was that the male lead seem to only have one facial expression and he just appeared really rigid, almost like a computer. He was skilled but he just didn’t appear relaxed in any scene.

Nothing original. It was nice, sweet and funny at times. Time travel series with minimal drama. There is a bit of internal struggle but not to over the top. The main leads have a pretty decent chemistry. There’s a plot twist that is a little touching and heartwarming.

Series revolves around a ml that can time travel and the fl who he realizes shares a connecting. The relationships was not immediate but it does seems to move a little fast. No crazy in-laws. One greedy cast member and plotting. The rest is somewhat of a mystery. Things do get solved but not all questions are answered. Pleasant ending.

Missed opportunity

I was so hopeful but I can’t say I loved this one and I’m a fan of both of the leads. I like the idea of a smart career woman being dedicated and good at what she does. I love a man that follows his path as well. That being said our two leads were academically and business smart but had the social/relationship competency of 12 year olds (not cute or entertaining).


The cons: misunderstandings lasted until episode 31; direct communication was very poor, they talked more in their head than directly to each other. They texted more than they talked. I’ve never seen so much screen time on screen. It lasted until the end. The relationship remained undefined for so long and then when it was, it was a break in it.
I ML was suppose to be domineering business man but it didn’t seem to fit or maybe it was just that he never lightens up. Usually you see a change, it kept it going.

I so wonder what it would have been like, it they spoke a quarter of their internal thoughts that the viewers heard. It could have made it much better.

I can accept a misunderstanding but I hate when it’s dragged out and poor communication. Although we’d all love a smooth sailing romance, I don’t think I could say there were any swoon worthy moments. I think I got whiplash.

It was an okay series. Maybe a good filler while waiting on your favorite show to aire. It has some good elements to it such as the supporting cast but I just couldn’t get into it. I finished the series but that was because I forced myself too. The FL just gave me negative vibes by her actions from episode 1. From episode 1 to 18, I watched this catch chases mouse game. She was somewhat resistant to the end which maid the progression of the relationship nonexistent.the acting wasn’t bad, the story itself wasn’t terrible but the FL was too much for me. I kept wishing he’d move on.

Reporter and fireman worlds collide for a sweet heartfelt romance. Not flashy. Not over the top. More like that love that can break down walls type. This series was truly amazing. I have seen mini series with both of the leads in it and they were different genres, but they were enjoyable. I believe that this is by far one of the best series that I have seen these two in. They’re acting was amazing, realistic, and it just felt really genuine. What I really enjoyed about this series was that there was no ridiculous love triangle, or supremely immature cast. Our FL was a little younger but she was very mature. Her pursuit of her love interests was refreshing. She was bold, confident and professional while also being innocently cute when it came to her love. There was no immature characters in this drama. Although it was somewhat slow paced in some ways, it was still relatively upbeat. The parts that were somewhat slow were during the intimate communication, but It was so sweet and heartfelt that it was really hard not to wanna catch every moment. I didn’t feel the need to fast forward this. The supporting cast were just as good as the lead, and they brought their own vibe to this series is well. You will absolutely get attached to the main leads as well as the supporting her. I know it sounds hard to be, but you’ll become invested in the supporting characters too. You have firefighters, rescue workers come together in this down to earth romance. Loved it.

This was an exceptional series. I loved the build up. The acting was amazing. The crying scenes made me want to cry too.

Series was about a woman who encountered hardship and how she moved forward to rebuild her life. Of course we have our ML who comes into play. His character had a friendly and bubbly personality that could most,likely get along with anyone but he was also one that wanted independence. These two came together and t was sincerely sweet and heartfelt.

The chemistry between the leads showed up heavily. I would like to say that karma as well, but it more like reality than regret. It was still very good.

Interesting

First, I love the mystery components of the series. It played out well.
Series revolves around a woman and her husband. She married him without knowing he was a man that wanted a model wife, and that he was manipulative.

On another note, it’s definitely exaggerated. From what I saw he didn’t actually commit a crime other than a fake attack. Why they called the police is beyond me. The series want us to assume that a man that wanted a woman who had more and was more wife material, is criminal. He didn’t appear to be a gold digger. He did however show controlling and manipulative habits (still not a crime). He dumped a woman b/c he thought he found something better. She didn’t take it well. Still not a crime. Maybe he was serial dater. Didn’t see that either! Women have done what he did but no one call in the police troops.

I did find the way that the woman was easily manipulated into obedience interesting. I believe that it fits into how things happen to some people in real life.

Needless to say, I don’t get it. It was interesting to watch though ??‍♀️

Unique

As much as I wanted to love this, the writers were just to convincing, lol. I struggle to watch or endure anyone extremely greedy or selfish and the writers did a good job up front showing how money and possession can cause people to reveal how they really feel.

Overall series was pretty good. It was a bit slow paced but still nice. In summary, the series is about a sibling group who somehow manages to lose their father and stability overnight. Contrary to many drama with this starter, this on too, a different turn. The female lead didn’t walk about helpless, begging or waiting for a miracle she put her mind on surviving and got to work. She want extremely prideful but tried to have a sense of pride about herself. Loved that element. What you Lear from her character is how to push through, how to let others help, how to adapt and love. Very unique.

On the other side of this spectrum we have the have nots who suddenly grasp everything they didn’t have before. Their greed grew and it turn ugly.

The series reveals the good and the bad.

This series was strictly medical. Every episode had an extreme medical case and on some/most occasions you’ll get a sad story with it. Some outrageous stuff, some heartfelt stuff. I must say I’m not a fan of this one but if your into medical stuff, you’ll like it although it wasn’t varied.

On another note, whoever tagged this romance was stretching very far. There were no real doctor couples, no romance only an interest and it took 39 episodes and that seemed to last 30 seconds.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes medical dramas but don’t go into this hoping for romance or dating of any kind. It’s not there.

WORTH THE WATCH! Umbrella=Genuine Covering w/ love

I was reluctant to watch this because of the title and synopsis but I am so glad i watched this. It was soooo amazing. It was heartfelt, moving, touch and so much more. I was not expecting that. There was action, sweetness, mystery, plotting, battle of the minds, brotherly love, a little love and more. If I had to sum this up in a few words I would say this series about a queen/mother doing whatever necessary to teach, protect and defend her kids. This differs a bit from other historical dramas about queens fighting for their children. This queens didn’t go around being malicious or trying to hurt other people. I think the title absolutely fits the series “under the queen umbrella” because it was really about her covering/protecting her children from those that were trying to harm them. They series has so many heartfelt moments it was amazing. I can honestly say that I’ve watched very few historical drams that could provoke emotions in me but this one’s absolutely good. I would suggest this for anyone that into historical dramas.

Highly recommend this. Definitely a rewatch.
