Yumi

C."I can't reach you" well of course honey you can't, with all these interruptions and distractions, I'm even surprised you even got together. It's like heaven and earth went hand in hand to stop those two from having any type of intimate moments or even normal ones lol ~~

First I have to say this gives a huge "old school Japanese BL" vibes, where your heart goes "Kyun" whenever the leads even look at each other lovingly, so this definitely for old school watcher or the younger audience who appreciates the light fluffy shy romance, aside from that, you definitely gonna get pissed off ~~

But despite having my "Kyun" moments I also had my "bloody hell" moments too, the interruptions were a tad too many here, I was watching while thinking "ok something is gonna happen now" ... *Thunder strikes* ... "See, I knew it" It gave me trauma, I believe they were cursed or something but I'm glad it ended well ~~

Yui was a king lol he had a very VERY huge and annoying bad timing problems and I give him credit for almost 80% of the interventions between the leads the other 20% is the teacher lol but him and Mikoto are like the audience who want to nudge the leads a bit to get closer ~~

Generally, it's a good one, but be prepared for some "screen punching" moments ~~

A simple romantic drama about finding love and being true to yourself.

The FL is a powerful lady that doesn't take love seriously and spend her time toying around men because of past trauma then she meets the innocent pure younger ML who is obsessed with sharks then his purity somehow slaps her Into realising that there is love irl you just have to meet the right one.

Cliché, but cute and nice to waste time between chores or something, just don't expect anything special from it.

It's a simple FL traumatized ~ meets ML ~ help her through her trauma ~ they fall in love and boom happy ending.

You shouldn't take it seriously because of you did you will find out that the two leads are not in any way compatible with each other, I prefer him with his junior because they actually fits together, but he has nothing in common at all with the FL I believe the writer also agree hence the childhood meeting and first love addition ~

That been said it's short and light and that's it, nothing to write home about ~

C.Affairs don't go down well with me, I don't like it and I don't like the idea of affairs being a solution for a messed up marriage or relationship.
And this drama is a realistic example, it shows how an affair can destroy lifes and no one would win at the end, so this drama as a story is realistic and nice though I still think they glamorized affairs and you'd be fine as long as you do your homework, be a good nice wife/husband and not get caught.

I don't fully agree with the comment saying that it's hard for eastern people to divorce, well yes it's difficult but that's the only solution, affair isn't and that's what they actually did at the end, what I think is better as a solution is talking to each other, if you went to the point of marriage then you know that person or understand him, at least love him a little, there gotta be some kind of attachment to that person to marry him -if that's not the case then you can't complain about anything you are not even living anymore, just get a divorce or suck it up- that's why you should talk your problems out, fix it, go to a couple therapy or try something, try to solve it using your mind, you chose that person to continue your life with then try hard to make it work, and if it didn't work, don't go making stupid and irrational decisions, it won't help.

Slow in the beginning, then it grows on you till it gets draggy

We have 3 stories about 3 women struggling through life, I think only two are considered interesting IMO, because Na Jeong's story is half of the married wives' life story, they literally had noththing to add so the created this whole work harassment idea to keep them going.

At first I was so interested in Ju Yeong, because asexual husband??? That's new, but actually he isn't asexual, he had childhood trauma that developed some sort of paraphilia/objectophilia and the whole thing revolves around one big ass miscommunication issue, and dare I say some sort of pretending or cheating before marriage because how come she doesn't know anything about that, but we don't know anything about their backst6how they got together and how long have they been married for, so we can just talk about what they show.

Be that as it may I also found Il Ri story also interesting but still slightly like a fairytale.

The positive and also negative thing about it is that the story start from the middle, the leads are already in relationships and going, so we don't know the back story of how they got to that point but at the same time that's the whole point ~

I genuinely enjoyed most of it, I have to admit that I skipped all the harassment parts, also after Il Ri Had her Happy end, I skipped some scenes because from ep9 to 12 there is nothing but holding a secret that eventually got out and didn't change the happy end anyway, for Ju Yeong and her husband they made the whole thing too complicated while it can be solved with a heart to heart conversation which is weird that they didn't do that before considering that they are in love and married ~

Na Jeong's story, I don't know what to say about it, her husband is actually a weird guy, he completely ignore his own family's problems and spent his life being a busybody, without even coming clear about everything with his wife.

The main thing that this show lacked was the romance, you can't discuss family and relationships matter when there is no romance between the couple, with exception of Il Ri, the other two did not show any intimacy not romantic attachments to their husbands which is weird considering that they are married already ~

That been said it wasn't bad, but not that great either, if you like mature people shows about life in general with a happy end despite everything then this show is perfect for you ~~

I forgot how much I loved this show ~

After the second part, and after announcing this sequel I decided that I won't watch it because I had my closure and the HE in the second part already, and despite having some loose ends here and there, they were not enough to tempt me to watch what happens next.

That been said, when I found out that it's actually the beginning of everything, a sequel that is telling the story of what happened before the first part, their meeting and how everything starts I was excited tbh~

Now about this sequel, it is as great as it can get, the thing is, you see it with a different eye since you already know what is going to happen and that everything will be alright sooner or later.
There is no mystery or anything, you just enjoy the moments happening between the two leads and how they slowly fall in love as spirits.

Personally, I think this is the best part out of the trilogy, despite being an original work and not in the source material, but it have the same feeling of the first 2 parts that you won't tell the difference, and because as I said we know what will happen, I wasn't really scared that something is going to happen, or that they'll surprise us with anything.

I love the two main characters, their interactions are the best and has some comical side too, I can watch them together forever, partially because the awkward panicking FL X calm and composed ML is one of my favourite tropes, also the two leads chemistry was spectacular, they just look good together and they also fit their roles like a glove.

I wanted to keep my review short, but obviously I couldn't, because this was really amazing and I've enjoyed it so much~~
it reminded me of how I felt when I watched the first 2 parts and how much I enjoyed them, I remember having some stuff that I couldn't stomach so I opted for not rewatching the whole thing all over and just enjoy these short 3 episodes and call it a day.

Highly recommended part, this is by far the only one that didn't piss me off somehow, cause no cliffhanger ends, no loose ends, simply a very light and cute short story that if you - like me- liked the first 2 parts, you will definitely love this one ~~

I don't think I'm mature enough for this xD

I've seen my fair share of BLs but this... 😂 Lol

Now I couldn't watch without laughing and face palming, every few seconds, I was much worse than the fujos on the train with them, also I couldn't help but getting confused at Umeda San for having a beard all the time but once in the second or third ep I believe, he was cleanly shaven lol

What was going on, people? İs that an advertisement or something? XD
İt was fun, I admit but also very cringe in a funny way, the idea of being like that in public, the girls reaction was legit.

Now I don't know if this has a sequel or a remake but being me I'd definitely watch it 😂👍

Cute, but not funny

I love the main couple, specially MeiMei she is adorable, the thing is they always pick the worst stories.

I've watched 3 of their dramas together and in all 3 the story was bad, however, the chemistry was great.

Here is not exception, I didn't find anything funny about it, the side story about the brother was boring and the FL despite being cute as always, I didn't find her funny here, also I didn't like the ML here, I don't know if it was the character or what exactly but I just didn't like him.

So if you like the two leads only and want to see them together in anything, just give it a go, but don't expect too much ~

Perfect if they tuned down the sadness a little bit

I knew this was a melodrama before I started it, yet I wished they lighten up a little bit.

It needn't be this sad, and not in the bawling your eyes out way, but the too unnecessary drama type.
Like the last 2 episodes were too heavy and even with happy end you'll feel bitter.

The Ex-girlfriend is the bitchest bitch I've ever seen in any drama, recently at least... She is the worst of the worst, I believe this character has a specific place in the deepest point in hell.
Good god I wanted to slap her so much, and this idiot if a FL was so nice, like, mate... Can you just release your freaking inner demon or something and throw something solid at her!!

I feel aggrieved for the FL because of this bitch, the freaking audacity... That's the main reason I'll never rewatch this drama, I don't want to see her.

Aside from that I loved it, the characters were not the best, I loved the ML the most and I mean DoHyun, since there are many leads, the brother is annoying and immature, the father is the one I feel sorry for the most, the FL was too complicated, her BFF /colleague is also annoying, I didn't like her on some scenes, specially in the beginning.

So mostly the characters were not the best, but I have to admit the flawed characters made the story better, they are humans and actually I'd take that over a fairytale-like characters.

That been said I don't thing it was a great masterpiece, but a nice watch maybe if you are into sad family dramas you can give it a try.

While I generally liked it, there were a few things that I didn't appreciate very much.

1- good acting but I didn't like the pushy ML, you already have her, why being so overbearing.

2- everyone seems to be blind, the two leads kiss and touch anywhere, and in front of everyone, but magically no one seems to notice any of that.

3- the whole cancer idea, I don't like the idea of having a doctor that can cure any disease lol what are you? A sorcerer??

4- answer me this question if you watched the drama, apparently the FL after she slept with the ML gave him her resignation letter the next morning in the office, at least that's what the subtitles says, and she still work for him after that? How? And if it wasn't a resignation letter, what was it exactly that he signed??

Aside from that it's fun show, I believe all actors with good bodies have to show them and be topless most of the times, cliché but a feast for the eye nonetheless, the FL is so beautiful and cute.

I don't think it deserves such a high rating tbh, but I believe all the shows with hot scenes are rated higher, generally recommended because it was good enough ~~

Great slice of life let down by the end

Recently I've been into slice of life dramas that is usually about family and life in general, and this one is a great choice if you are even slightly interested in knowing more about a ethnic groups, how they live, and what are their values and habits.

8 episodes of chinese Kazakh life... Really enjoyable except for the last episode maybe, I speak Turkish and I was trying to figure out what are they saying and ignore the subtitles but failed miserably.
That's how much I was invested in it ~~

Sadly I didn't finish it with the same feelings I started it.

I've nothing against the way the story was written, and all the actors were great, but I don't understand the need to show drama that is completely unrelated to the main theme of the show.

Which is why my rating dropped ~~

Characters and actors representing them were all spectacular, nothing worth being mentioned except that you will enjoy their performances very much.

I like this one, and I don't know why can't other vertical dramas do rom-com like this one.

The comedy here was lovely, scarce but nice, I loved the playfulness of the ML and I wish we had to see more of it, I don't think the whole story is consistent because I can point out some plot holes but still it was very enjoyable.

The intimate scenes wasn't the best but the romance was great, the FL is kissing with her mouth closed which is something I don't like watching, not because I want them to french kiss to satisfy the viewers, but because those types of kisses make the whole scene look very odd and uncomfortable to watch, I'd prefer not seeing any kiss scene at all to a forced one like this.

I think many actors/actresses can refuse kiss scenes or walk around it somehow, or at least try maybe to make it look pleasant.

Overall nice watch~

I saw a clip of this, on IG I believe and I was intrigued by the ML.
I didn't know who he was back then, then I happened to watch another drama of his and I loved him there, didn't like the drama so much, it was ok-ish, so I thought I'd give him another chance and try this one, maybe I'll be a fan.

This wasn't the best choice, to like this you have to be already a fan of the ML before starting, not the opposite. But aside from the story the performance was ok.

The story is not coherent, made worse by the wrong subtitles, now my Chinese is terrible I know but in some parts I hear something and the subtitles says something else, that's how bad it was...
Even a non-Chinese person can spot the differences.

Now the end was weird and in some parts I didn't even know who is bad and who is good and the funny scenes at the end were odd too.

The acting was nice, I didn't know what was going on and there were too many characters unnecessarily, romance was non existent, I know the ML did a lot for the FL but they didn't have any type of intimacy or romance happening between them, i didn't realise that till the last minute when it suddenly hit me that the two leads didn't even kiss lol they hugged once maybe xD and the genre is just romance!! Nothing else in the tags and that's the main thing the drama lacked of.

I don't know if I like it or not, but I'm sure this isn't the best VD to watch if you want to enjoy the ML performance ~~

What's your fetish?

I mean the semi-normal ones...

The collection is nice, I can understand some fetishes and I couldn't understand some others, like fingertips?? Not even the whole finger, And legs?? The whole leg??
I mean to each his own I guess ~~

Acting is ok-ish, it's a 2012 show so ... Don't expect something groundbreaking or anything.
Some fake scenes were too obvious and some were cringe, but also some were hot, I guess depending on the actors.

It's a fun short collection of fetishes and I'm glad they are only about body parts, not actions done with those body parts, cause yeah, it's Japan and I'm partially traumatized ~~

Great premise but dull execution

The idea is very intriguing, this is the first time I've seen someone wanting romance without intimacy or being in serious relationship, most dramas focus of the physical connection and disregard feelings.

Be that as it may, I think it was too sugarcoated and molded into a simple healing drama.
I genuinely wanted to see romance with no string attached, this's just two people with bad experience that made them scared to enter a new relationship or open up to others, romance has nothing to do with it.

I don't think Seri's past should affect her love life the way it did, because it's completely unrelated, not to mention they fell in love pretty quickly and I still don't know what exactly made them fall in love, because if a simple romantic gesture was enough for seri to fall in love and want a relationship then why was she against the idea in the first place... If she gave anyone a chance ( her colleague for example) she would have easily started a relationship with romance and everything, because it's obvious she wanted a that not just the romance, but the full package.

Same with Mahiro, I see nothing seri did that would make him fall for her except maybe being kind?

The way they went with the story has nothing to do with the idea they start with, that's why I was slightly disappointed, however the show was entertaining and fun, I loved the Mangaka character he was funny, crazy and adorable.

I wouldn't recommend it tbh, it was ok, if you have nothing else to watch give it a go ~~
