Real Family Drama
Last episode was an emotional roller coaster. "If you don't tell someone you love them, they won't know" even if it's your own family. So TALK, COMMUNICATE & OPEN YOUR HEARTS.THIS IS A WHOLESOME DRAMA THAT feels like being in one's own home. The story unfolds like everyday happenings in a real family and you're being part of them.
50+ episode long, 2014 drama about a chaotic family's daily struggles, generation gap, class difference. Lots of wholesome moments & comic relief. Many relatable, few loud characters.
It's the #Baghban of #Kdramas

It's a strange Drama -romance? โ
Beyond Goodbye - It's a strange drama to watch yet you binge watch it coz humans love to suffer? Or find solace in other's misery perhaps.A very very weird feeling to watch when you want the leads to have feelings but when they do have them you feel like telling them to stop them. Morally it's very non green flag thing. The wife suffered for nothing literally & you will not feel for her or atleast the writer didn't but you'll keep watching it.
Will remind you of some what First Love, which remains the only happy Jdrama in my memories.
The acting was damn good both the leads were fabulous in their roles & the apples & coffee vibe was definitely on point. Cinematography was excellent.

Overrated Show
I watched it & finished it without liking the main leads(judge me as I have to have feelings for the oppa before the FL iykwim), much of the plot & loving the OST the most. I didn't go back to it so it's an overrated drama with nothing much memorable to go back to. Maybe it's just me but I don't rate it highly.OST & cinematography of this show is absolutely beautiful, more than the story itself.

Top Rated Chinese Drama - Love #YuYi
Programing genius, The lighter #ChenFeiyu & his Princess #ZhangJingyi fighting for their peace after taking on the world as a battlefield. V young leads but quite mature act, gripping plot, Bingeworthy show with a high repeat value.Nothing can top this story I believe. Very intricately written & brilliantly acted. #ChenFeiyu #ZhangJingyi aced their roles as well as supporting cast , Chen Fei Yu's getup changes were ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅspecially his buzz cut. Although I would love to see him growing back his hair towards the ending.
Do look for the deleted scenes on YT after you finish this show.

The Emotional Interest of Love
He's the constant.She's the variable.
Life is the equation
&
Love is the problem.
It's about the interest one has to pay after being indebted with love for someone. It's about the emotional cost of being attached to someone naturally. It's THAT INTEREST. It's that EXTRA YOU PAY.
A very mature & complex tale of a group of people with all sorts of differences from backgrounds, social status, education & emotional strength to deal with a job, love, life & relationships.
Beautifully filmed, Cinematography & Music was so brilliant. Characters were all flawed human beings & striving for that care but with so much hesitation in their minds & hearts.
YYS had the best emotional expressions through out the show. It's criminally underrated performance. Shadow love OST was fabulous.
It's a drama for mature minds & will need your time & attention to consume it.

Short, warm & romantic
This drama is warm, melo and absolutely cinematic with a fresh take on clichรฉs of Hi-school romance where mainy leads weren't even aware of their feelings.Chae Jeong Hyeop is so dreamy and sassy that you're unable to take your eyes off him. Story is well paced, enough flashbacks to hold it together to make destiny at play.
Side characters are so well portrayed even though it's a short drama but we get more than 1 couple towards the ending.
Uncle Baek was ICONIC. Sang Pil & Hey ji are the friends squad everyone needs & look forwayto the classic clichรฉ of throwing water at your daughter in law refreshed in it.
I absolutely love this drama. No complaints except that it should have been a bit longer, maybe 12 episodes to tell this tale of reunion, butterflies and romance with a side of friendship and ambitions.

Nostalgic 90's tale
What a masterpiece. I love dramas when they nail the timeline they're set in specially 90's. Our times is like rewatching the era of tech boom and transformations economically and culturally from Chinese Perspective. With seriously strong Nationalism, capitalism & entrepreneurial journey plot of two poles apart friends -This is a riveting tale of selflessness and being selfish. Such a contrasting main characters with balanced screen time & absolutely brilliant portrayal of an extrovert & introvert friends cruising through life, career & romance in one of the most transformational era.Really love the art direction, absolutely bang on music & opening & closing credits of episodes. Filler videos of 90's Chinese cities is fascinating part. Wu Lei as Xioa Chaung is adorably sad. Everyone fits the character like a glove. It's like a novel in motion.
My only complaint is 36 episodes are not enough. The story remains to be concluded & definitely needs a S2 (which apparently is shot but not released)
More & more ppl need to watch it. That DRESS SCENE ๐, When Wu Lei gets a haircut ๐ข ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ The changes from pay phones to pagers ๐

Heartwarming Sports + Noona Romance
It's a well written & acted slice of life drama with an extremely detailed sports related plot and a very intelligent Noona romance that works because of the acting prowess of main leads.Like a few other Cdramas, I like how this one focuses on detailed aspects of athletics in China, primarily focusing on Badminton & Tennis ๐พ while romance being the subtle sub plot but very maturely written & executed.
Might felt a little dragged towards middle & ending but it shows successfully how so many struggling people in career & life can uplift each other.
Wu Lei shines so bright.

A Game show cashing in on OG show
I wasn't expecting this many people to be part of a reality show based on a drama like Squid Game which truly was a ruthless story of survival involving money & emotions.It's the same set, different people with mind games as well as physical games to win big in life. To be honest everyone dreams of being rich one day, it is a chance for someone to be a Billionaire.
Let's see how it ends.
I'll be lying if I say I'm enjoying it or it is boring me. It's a weird kinda feeling although I'm a sucker for reality TV.

Time travel dream
First of all this is a love story without any sidekicks, second plot lines or any family related hiccups in between. I don't know why it has such miniest of the minis 4 minute long episodes when it could have been a 90min long movie instead.Being a sucker for time travel stories I have watched it. It has horrible subtitles on YouTube. Like really really bad making it a difficult watch. Felt like watching an edited drama episode highlights without context. That high school name Popup was another eye sore.
After watching When I fly towards you, this feels like an extension of sma show probably because of same FL.

An engaging film
Loosely based on South Korea's first trial Jury, this court room drama is a true story & a light yet surprisingly engaging watch.Park Hyung Sik as Juror 8 was extremely convincing. The story is quite remarkably paced for a movie, the law & Jury issues are highlighted with immense care.
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ โญ
Definitely worth a watch if you're a Kdrama & PHS fan (must watch if you ain't a fan lol)
Hyung Sik is a charmer & as Juror number 8 he will steal your heart & save the day for justice too.

Must watch for teens - Positive Influence
This show is very cute & clichรฉd. There are no bad guys. It's an ideal world they lived in with lots of wholesome moments, details & full of life youthful high school days. There are aspirations, admirations & endearingly sweet dreams that brings a bunch of school fellows best friends for life.I love how it sheds light on the importance of having positive influence around in your teens and how life changing happiness can be for humans. Nothings permanent but efforts can make life & this world better for people we love & cherish.
V clean & inspirational story. Teens should watch it.

Goofball cuties - BLOCKBUSTER show
Will it be just another contract marriage drama? We have to wait & watch. For the time being first episode was good. Introduced characters & story quite effectively and the ML & FL will be enemy to lovers kinda trope so I'm in for sure. The main leads are looking FAB already. Let the rom-com begin.I hope there's no murder & mystery plot here coz chaebol is already very busy plot. I'm seated for this show.
Fighting!!! Marriage related titles in dramas are the trend for Monday, Tuesday in Korea I guess.
The brothers are so sibling coded and the chemistry between leads is off the charts. It's a blockbuster in making.
