Can't stop smilling
Finally, there is a Korean drama with a rom-com genre that makes you can't stop smiling without thinking too hard. After watching the first episode, you can't wait to continue watching the next one until it's suddenly the last one.It tells the story of an actor named Nam Kang-Ho who has trauma from his past and thinks women are manipulative creatures. But all his opinions change when he meets a lawyer named Yeo Mi-ran. Because of a scandal, they agree to become contract partners and eventually fall in love with each other.
An adult love story with an on-point storyline it's not boring at all to watch, we want more!! 10 episodes are not enough.
Highly recommended for those who need a light drama on weekends because this drama is a distraction amid Korean dramas lately whose stories are heavy.

What kind of ending
Ko Chia Yen plays Shen Xi quite well, and Zhai Zi Lu is the reason I watched this series.Up until episode 15, I was still excited to follow the story, but as it progressed, I felt it was dragging, and some scenes seemed unimportant, not significantly affecting the story.
The ending left me really disappointed because, in my opinion, it didn't feel like the right conclusion, and some episodes were cut, leaving the story unfinished. It's a shame, even though I find the storyline interesting, and the main characters played their roles well

The Journey of Forgiveness
This series is about how love can remove all hatred and grudges. With a slow pace, a small amount of dialogue between Shim Woo Joo and Han Dong Jin, and the color tones chosen successfully make us feel the emotions felt by the characters. Maybe for some people, this series is boring because of its slow pace but according to me, this is the advantage of this series.Week by week we are introduced to Woo Joo and Dong Jin more closely, how they feel hopeless in life with the burden that each of them bears but are interrelated because of Dong Jin's mother. How after getting to know each other Woo Joo realized that Dong Jin also suffered because of his mother's behavior. From a sense of caring, love finally emerged but Woo Joo also could not forget the grudge of his family.
A beautiful story about making peace with circumstances, the courage to seek happiness in life, and becoming a better version of yourself and then returning to the one you love.
Great acting and chemistry from Lee Sung-Kyung and Kim Young-Kwang. Even if we just look at them or sit side by side, we can feel the emotional turbulence they have. Because not everyone can express their emotions no matter how angry they are.

The Best C-Drama
Initially, I was not too excited to watch this drama because I knew that the story would be slow, typical of the slice-of-life genre, plus the number of episodes is also quite a lot.But because it's Lin Xian and Liu Yi Fei, it seems a shame if you don't try to watch it at all. And that's the right decision. The chemistry between ML and FL undoubtedly matches the big names they have. I think this is FL's best chemistry with Lin Xian.
This drama is beautiful apart from the scenery and storyline that warm you. Especially those who are 30 years old and above must relate to the storyline and more or less understand the turmoil felt by Xu Hong Dou (Liu Yi Fei). After working for years and feeling like she has given her best, it turns out that life is still the same and feels like s, he has missed many moments but also doesn't know how to quit the existing routine.
Not to mention the problems faced by other characters in this drama, making us realize that everyone will have their problems. We fight our own battles.
The dialogue throughout the drama is also deep as if we are sitting with Xu Hong Dou, Na Na, and Da Mai or being advised by Granny Xie.
The best Chinese drama production in my opinion so far. Both in terms of the story, the clothes, and the cinematography. The slow phase is even an advantage because we are made to slowly get to know the characters and the village, so it's not like watching a drama but being a real villager LOL
After watching this, I wondered if it's necessary to break from all the routines and go faraway places without a single person we know to really know the purpose of our lives and who we really are, to meet ourselves.

One of the best BL series
I watched this series without any expectations, even though I noticed the rating was quite high. Given my past experiences with BL series, I often found the execution lacking, be it in chemistry, editing, or costumes, especially in those set in the past like this one.However, I really enjoyed watching 'I Feel You Linger in the Air,' particularly the interaction between Khun Yai and Jom, which didn't feel cringe-worthy at all.
The only thing that bothered me was the ending, leaving me with many questions. Fortunately, after searching online, I finally understood the conclusion.
I hope a second season can happen, as I've been somewhat traumatized by numerous BL series that were supposed to continue but were suddenly canceled without any clarity.
I'm also looking forward to the special episode!

Hoping for More Depth in This Series
The storyline of this series struck me as a bit awkward. When they returned, the same old relationship problem resurfaced, and the resolution seemed a bit too swift for my liking. The process of dealing with the issue and getting back on track felt somewhat rushed. What caught my attention, or rather, what didn't quite sit right with me, was the FL's character transformation. It appeared simplified, merely by accepting ML's help with her bag at the airport.In my opinion, this series missed an opportunity to delve into the intricacies of how the characters compromise and evolve to make their relationship work. The focus on these essential aspects could have added depth and authenticity to the storyline. Instead, the series opted for a quicker resolution, and as a result, the ending feels somewhat forced into a happy conclusion. I believe a more detailed exploration of their journey could have given the series a more satisfying and genuine feel.

Will definitely be watching it again and again!
I really, really love this series! It's so much fun to watch with its cooking, friendship, and romance scenes. Plus, it's the only Chinese series where I don't skip the singing parts—I actually replay them because I love the songs! The way the main characters' relationship grows from being shy to becoming a strong couple is heartwarming. I also love seeing Gu Sheng getting to know and becoming pals with Mo Qing Cheng's studio friends. It made me smile all the way through.Some people say it's too smooth and lacks conflict, but I think it's realistic. Real life isn't always full of drama, and not every relationship has outside interference.
Tan Jian Ci and Zhou Ye do a great job in their roles. They really capture the shyness and crush feelings so well. This series is just awesome!

Just enjoy the movie, don't have any expectations
This movie is truly one-of-a-kind, and I found it quite enjoyable. The storyline follows the typical pattern of cheesy and light romantic comedies from the early 2000s, offering a delightful escape without delving into intense conflictsWhile my understanding of Indian culture might not be extensive, I think the movie does a commendable job presenting it. The cultural elements portrayed in the film seem authentic enough to provide a glimpse into the richness of Indian traditions
If you're in the mood for a film that's easygoing and entertaining, this one is worth a watch. Moreover, the added bonus of witnessing Bright's dance sequences in the vibrant Indian setting adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall viewing experience

Just ok
Initially, I wasn't a fan of Shuyi's character, and the storyline felt a bit drawn out in the beginning.On the positive side, I was excited to see Dylan Wang and BaiLu together, but for some reason, their chemistry was lacking in certain scenes. I'm not sure if it's because of the challenging filming conditions with many people watching, affecting the acting, or something else.
Despite this, I must admit that Dylan Wang's charm shines through in this series, even though the overall acting quality is not overly impressive.

An affair drama unlike any other
It is a delightful drama that, despite not featuring A-list actors, managed to captivate audiences and garnered high ratings. Dr. Cha is a remarkable drama that successfully blends drama and comedy while tackling the sensitive theme of infidelity. It stands out from other dramas with similar themes by providing a refreshing and enjoyable narrative.Although the ending may not have satisfied everyone, its realistic approach serves as a reminder that finding peace and acceptance is often more important than melodrama. Dr. Cha is a must-watch for those seeking a lighthearted yet thought-provoking series that focuses on the pursuit of happiness.

Unforgivable
I don't know where to start. With a cast and scenery this good, how can the result be so unsatisfying? The main plot is interesting, but the holes make the story so strange. It was too forced to finish in episode 6.If it was designed from the start for only 6 episodes, the story could be more condensed, the first 2 episodes that tell Sun as a debt collector have too many unimportant scenes. The main reason why Sun's father lied and made Sun go to the island is also unclear, did he give Sun as collateral or what (or was it explained in the series that I missed it?).
Athit had recognized Sun from the beginning because of their promise as a child, but the process of Sun suddenly falling in love with Athit was made too fast. Though the process could have been made sweeter and made us smile supported by their setting on an island with such a good view.
With the chemistry between Boun & Prem, it's a shame that it's not utilized to the fullest.

New Favorite #BounPrem
The story is about Win, a third-year senior, and Team, a freshman who are both members of the University Swimming Club. Team has a traumatized by the death of his cousin as a child, because of his guilt Team often has nightmares, especially when going to compete which makes him insomnia. Win who knew about it finally asked Team to sleep with him. Where Win also has his own problems, as the middle child in his family he feels less cared for and feels he must always be reliable. This causes Win to always try to help others and cannot express his true feelings. From the closeness that was initially just for fun, they finally realized that they loved and relied on each other.At first, I was confused why there were so many bad reviews for the drama because, for me personally, this is one of my favorite BL dramas. Indeed, I watched Between Us first and then watched the initial series entitled Until We Meet Again. It turns out that according to me that's one of the advantages. Because I really like the character Win and Team version in Between Us. Although I also agree with some opinions that the story can be made even deeper.
I really like how Boun (Win) and Prem (Team) are very comfortable with each other so it doesn't seem awkward at all, maybe this is also because they have worked together several times since Until We Meet Again.
Can't wait for the next #BounPrem project.
