Never hated a damn elevator in my whole damn life

April 7, 2021

This Japanese BL is one sweet of a ride. I really like the ending as it leads to the foundation that can lead to a second season. I really love our two lovely main leads. They are very affectionate even though there not a single kiss scene or steamy scene like most Japanese dramas. I know a lot of people have been criticizing the side story of the second couple but to be honest I did not find anything weird about them. Both are legal adults and their story is pretty cute too.

It would have been a perfect 10 but I feel like the plot just needs more. I feel like it falls short on explaining things as there as so many questions left unanswered. That being said, Ill change my review later if they release a second season. As I feel like it would explain and clear things up. Crossed my fingers that another season will happen.

Lastly, DAMN I HATE THAT ELEVATOR I LITERALLY GOT ROBBED!!!!

DESERVES THE BETTER RECOGNITION

April 2, 2021

I LOVE THIS TAIWANESE DRAMA. One of my favourite for sure. It’s so good and well written. I cried so hard on so many occasions as I felt so empty and lonely watching the astonishing chemistry of the leads. From time travelling back to the present and past. Though I must say I still have a lot of unanswered questions.

Like why are they connected. It’s not like the characters are the reincarnated version of each other since in 90s timeline our 2019 leads are still children... They showed how Yu Xian met Li Zi Wei as a toddler and Zi Wei is already a highschool student at the time.

I CRIED BUCKETS AT THE END HOW CAN THE WRITER MA BE SO CRUEL. I feel so sad and empty after watching this. I can’t imagine if this shit happens to me.(Which I know will never happen but still) I AM STILL SO SAD 😭

I just hope the Huang Xu Yuan and Li Zi Wei meet again in the future. I don't care about the age gap. I just want them to find each other again in fall in love. I guess I am happy that the highschooler Li Zi Wei met the child Huang Xu Yuan. I wish there is more episodes to wrap it up.

I need a second season in the future in 2019 timeline where the Li Zi Wei who is in his late 30s or early 40s meet Huang Xu Yuan who is in her late 20s or early 30s.

Argh, THIS DESERVES THE BETTER RECOGNITION. IT IS WELL WRITTEN AND THERE WAS NEVER A DULL MOMENT. I AM SO SAD SINCE I FEEL SO EMPTY RIGHT NOW....

In another life, I will be your girl

Dec. 3, 2023

Whoa, another kdrama that has ended and that I have finished.

Perfect Marriage Revenge is the drama for revenge and I must say I love the pacing of this series. As it is adapted from a webtoon, I was a bit skeptical with the 12 episode format. But I must say that 12 episode pacing was good, it did feel fast. And I did feel some parts of the plot could have had a better explanation.

Also did anyone else notice how the running time got shorter and shorter as the series went by??

Back to review, the series itself is pretty good, and anyone can tell that the budget of the series was not as high as other kdramas that are also in the runtime. But they did well, they excel with what they were given with. I did wish certain scenes could have gotten better execution. Some scenes kinda fell flat, and those scenes made me skip or watch in 1.5x speed.

REGARDLESS of its flaws, I still liked watching this kdrama. Something to keep yourself entertained for sure.

Not a single second I felt bored

Jan. 8, 2023

Alchemy of Souls 2 is one of the best decisions I have ever made to watch. It is the superior, S fking tier Kdrama. This series really raised the standard right away for the year of 2023. We really are setting the bar up high.

Major shoutout to the Hong Sisters for writing this epic masterpiece. They really ate up their works back to back to back.

Although this season was only 10 episodes long. I felt that they were able to conclude everything in such an amazing way. The pacing is just right and I never felt boredom or a waste of time. Alchemy of Souls hold such a special place in my heart that I will definitely be watching it over and over, again and again.

Jang-Uk, you are the best husband I could ever ask for. Like I am so tired of Jang-Uk slander for this season cause this man's delivered and slaughtered everyone (like literally) for his beautiful wife. As for Buyeon/Naksu, I do wish, she had more scenes showing her divine powers and her strength. But you know what, it is okay. The wedding was a little sad cause it was only with the celibacy guy (I forgot his name)... but they the ending was so satisfying.

My emotions was so high, I was ready to cry and I cried. I cried so damn motherfucking hard. I really thought... I really thought... so the relief that I had after finishing the series definitely compensated for my palpitating heart.

ALCHEMY OF SOULS, YOU WILL BE MISSED I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM SAYING GOODBYE. IT'S BEEN A JOURNEY FROM MUDEOK TO BUYEON/NAKSU & JANG-UK. MY LOVES I WILL MISS YALL SO MUCH. UNTIL I REWATCH THIS AGAIN...

So what are yalls waiting for. GO WATCH ALCHEMY OF SOULS BOTH SEASONS NOW 😤

So fluffy and so adorb

Sep 11, 2026

Leeith and Putter definitely embodies that puppy love in the adolescents. I truly think that these types of BLs really are just so cute and lovely. It is a formulaic and basic plotlines but it does deliver well especially with the chemistry of the casts.

It is not like a head turner BL, however, I did enjoy waiting for new episodes to drop every fridays. It truly has that pull on me and to many viewers too. Leeith and Putter's actors have strong chemistry and potential to be a strong BL tandem. Given this, I hope to see more projects with them starring as in the future!

So binge worthy, i am in awe

Aug 16, 2026

I keep seeing how people are complaining about this Kdrama and given the track history of how people overinflate shitty dramas and rate poorly complex nuance storylines, I decided to give this show a go.

And guess what, I had the time of my life. I started watching it early this morning and now I am done. It was such a fun ride, it is such a witty show. It is so hilarious and yes there are major plot twists that shocked me. I think that I was so hooked and I expected so poorly given the reaction of other watchers.

I am so in love with the chemistry of the casts and the plot twist of the story. It is just so good, it took me out of my seat. I am so shocked. Our Sticky Love definitely deserves better ratings than this and I truly stand by this. There are so many other dramas that are just disastrous in comparison to this that people overly rate or hype up.

I think that this drama also gives off the classic Kdrama hence why I am so in love with it. I can't wait to watch it all over again in the near future thats for sure.

I hope you guys give this drama a chance that it deserves, because it is so good, so binge worthy, and so interesting to watch!

Love so soft, love so sweet

Aug 5, 2026

When Oranges Fall is one of the sweetest and wholesome Thai BLs I have watched. It is absolutely so adorable to consume and digest, it feels like a perfect warmth on a chilly day. I truly loved looking forward to each Wednesday as the series progress.

I think that Almond and Progress truly have such great chemistry and I wish I can see them in more series in the future. I think that the plot was solid even if it is generic and a throwback type of story. Though I must say, I did feel a bit lacklustre for the final episode. I feel like it could have been more, it just felt underwhelming for me hence why it took me a while to finish the series. I do think the conclusion makes sense, but it just feels a bit odd or something is just falling flat with it. Regardless, I love the series as a whole and it is still something I would recommend and possibly rewatch in the future!

ANG GANDA

Dec 8, 2025

OMG i finally finished this show, i am so happy na finish ko na siya.

I really love watching VivaOne Teleserye since it helps me strengthen my Tagalog since I am not as fluent. It really makes me feel satisfied with the adaptation since I also read the wattpad novel version.

Sam and Clyden's story hits so damn different, knowing everything that they put me through.

I really love the cast, I know people were a bit harsh on the actor portraying Clyden but at the same time, maybe its just that high Filipino beauty standards, nevertheless, he still is pogi for me to be Clyden.

Among the University series, you can really tell, this one had good budgeting! And I hope it keeps up especially with the on-going show right now with Arkin and Via.

Fluffy yet angsty

March 19, 2025

WAW. This is probably the first drama that I finished and did not drop for this year.

First Frost is a heavy drama I must say, given the FL background and how she deals with her mental health. This drama for sure is not like Hidden Love although they are part of the same universe.

I understand why this show has gained a traction in popularity with the viewers and I think it is pretty well deserved. The plot was pretty decent, I did think that some subplots for the second leads or other characters could have been slimmed down. There are instances where I feel like they took over a whole episodes and that could have been given to the leads.

I think that the chemistry we have here is through the roof. Sang Yan's is the greenest, a whole forest type of man. FOR SURE HE ONLY EXISTS IN FAIRYTALE FICTIONAL LAND BUT I HOPE HE EXISTS. A MAN CAN DREAM AM I RIGHT

Ge to Gege ?

Unknown has definitely been one of the well-written Taiwanese Bls in the last few years.

Yup, I said it. I think Taiwan was going through a slump of BLs in terms of their production and such. As I dropped a lot of the released BLs over the past few years.

The reason why I could not give this series a solid 10/10 is just that I could not really feel settle or fully feel comfortable regarding the leads. I know that they aren't blood related at all and by any means, they are basically strangers who just happened to become a family. Or like raised together as a parent/son? Older brother/younger brother ... See even saying this whole sentence, it already kind of makes me feel unsettled. I guess that's my only critique of this fictional show. I do know that there are many many series with this type of plot synopsis but still, I think that is for sure the reason why it just doesn't seem like a 10/10 drama for me.

Now in terms of all the positive aspects of this show:
- It is well-written. Both leads are written well, for their background, their motivation to succeed in time. In terms of accepting themselves given how society perceives them.
- This also goes to the supporting leads as well. Each of them are developed and there might be a few jagged scenes here and there. Regardless, it was not something that was so distracting and can go unnoticeable.
- The ending was amazing, it encompasses the vulnerability, yet steamingly hot and mature scenes. It was absolutely beautiful and I love it.

It's so beautiful the lowratings are a scam.

Sep 27, 2023

HOLY SHIT. I have been putting this bl in the back burner because the ratings were saying about how boring this show and not great. However, I decided to finally pick it up after months and months of postponing it. First episode hits so damn good.

I already felt hooked to this drama right from the pilot. Every episode was pretty good in my opinion. I have some few critiques with the plot. But damn, I personally think that this drama was critiqued way too harshly. Maybe because it is more on the melodrama side and it is not the typical fluffy BLs out there.

Also, I just want to shout out Fumiya's character because he is such a green flag. He literally climbed by bl green flags list so fast, I need him in my life.

As of today's date, this show has a rating of 7.7 which I believe is too low. This deserves an 8.0 rating at the very least. Jack o frost bl is literally so much better in terms of many aspect in comparison to the highly rated bls for this year js.

I hope you give this show a chance like I did. Cause it definitely deserves a much better recognition !

Is it really a sequel without some angst?

July 9, 2022

To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories really hit the fking nerves. Like I am not kidding, when I tell you how communication is such an important thing for a relationship to flourish and survive. I know there are major critiques about this sequel but let me just tell you how I genuinely liked it. Obviously, there are flaws within this season that could have been better, but you know what this series has a special place in my heart. With bias that I am heavily and knowingly acknowledging, I just want to say that this is not as bad as what others have said.

Major spoilers:








Let me just get started with the biggest critique: miscommunication and how the sequel did not outdo the first season. First of all, yes the miscommunication part was a little dragged out. It was frustrating to see Seojun get hurt by Jiwoo as who on Earth leaves their boyfriend like that. Like hello???? I would have literally beaten the fuck out of Jiwoo, for fucks sake. As for how the sequel didn't do justice, I guess it really just depends on people's standpoint and taste. Personally, I like this season, I find it realistic, as much as I criticize Jiwoo's action, I feel like this happens to a lot of people. And if I am being honest I was like Seojun too, I felt his pain right to the core. The feeling of having everything going well then suddenly it actually is not, just feels like a slap to myself. Not gonna lie, I cried so hard, especially during the point where someone told Seojun that "it is enough" or something like that. And how Seojun tried his best to get back with Jiwoo and he should finally move on. I felt that. I bawled my eyes out because I know the pain and the devasting and detrimental it is to our mental health. It wasn't healthy, but I guess the only good thing about it was Seojun got his "happy" ending which isn't the case for most of us.

On another side note (is this even a review at this point...), I really thought this was going to be a sad ending... Before revealing Jiwoo's side, I was hating him so much to the point where I didn’t even want to see him as the end game. I know what his reasons are now, but I feel like maybe a bittersweet ending would have been better...

Anyhow, this season slaps, like literally ... slaps me to point of crying ... breh

One of the best top tier Korean BL at the moment

August 31, 2021

I have been on a slump lately so I have been watching Asian dramas and constantly dropping them after a few episodes. But Light On Me saved me and served right. Everything was done well, there were not unnecessary troupes that are commonly found in other BLs. The relationship of the two are so healthy and non-toxic. It's so realistic that it makes me so jealous of the characters. There was a love triangle but I am happy how it is not dragged on. Everything pretty much went by smoothly. Although, it is noticeable how this drama has a lower budget given the circumstances. But all in all, I am very happy with how everything went through. I suck at remembering names but Shinwoo, my mans 😍. I love him so much.



Holy crap, where can I find a man like him. I need him, he is so respectful and very sincere. I know in the beginning, he was a bit cold and rude but he's one of the best tsundere ever. Like dayum, all I can think about is him. He really stand out among the cast from acting to character development. I know how things are especially given how people are still very narrow minded and that coming out can be a pain. Especially with how some friendship will turn hostile in the end and how often bullying occurs. Given his middle school backstory, I literally cried for him. Because it hits so close to home. I know how it feels and that I am so happy for him to finally have courage and be himself. Also thank god, he was the endgame. I was so close to booking it to Korea cause I thought TGK will choose Da On.

Damn, what a review, I pretty much talked about Shinwoo only. But can you even blame me... Anyway, I hope y'all give this series a chance!!!
