If I make it to episode four that means it caught my interest. Not sure whether it deep dark drama or comedy but the comedic part though somewhat slapstick works. But this cannon works long because with 6 more episodes I am grasping on what this story is all about…there must be a reason he was transported back in time

just saw the first two episodes and it’s underwhelming TBH. the story wants to create constant tension that the chemistry is all lost…sure they have the looks but a lot are missing. I am sensing more from Sing and Chinnon in the little time they have together. but of course it’s a tennis match so tension is obvious if that’s what the premise of this series is all about. The writers should have injected a little more character development instead of maybe a flashback in future episodes

I did my review on episode 11 stating I am on the fence with this series and wait u til last episode whether I like it or not. TBH and please don’t get upset but the way this show was written and the screenplay left me with more questions. I understand the ending which you have to wait until the credit ends to explain the why…but…in my own opinion the trope of a show within a show within another show is not easy to execute. It’s like watching Nolan’s “Tenet” which is a beautiful movie but needs several rewatch to catch up. Because of this confusion I also struggle with their romance, I was looking or grasping to find it from the beginning and truly never found it even til the end. Maybe I’m overthinking this series and like everything lose, what’s good for the gander may not necessarily be good for the goose. I am looking forward to future shows of these actors though hopefully not together. The music though, ecclectic and mostly English was done very well.

The classic fairy tale story of an introvert and an extrovert modernize in a Korean BL. With only 15 minutes per episode the content is fast paced with short conversations, the skill of editing is done well where there’s enough meat of the story to comprehend. My only struggle is the main leads is hard to distinguish so the hat or eyeglasses was able to tell me who’s who. But the chemistry is there and I know each episode has enough depth to make me want to wait for the next one.

The Edge of Horizon Episode 5

I’ve enjoyed the series so far but this episode bothered me due to just a few things: the period series using a modern hospital setting was so obvious they couldn’t even mask it or use an older building. They have been good so far and this is a challenge for period series. And I question the Director how he guided Pond to act like he has Turret’ Syndrome, maybe because I’ve seen him mostly is a calm role but he’s outside of his comfort zone in my personal opinion. There are amazing character actors who can definitely play this role much more convincingly instead of being irritating.

Agent Kim Reactivated Episode 10

This show was a roller coaster rides until the last three episodes…ot just fell off the cliff. The cliches and tropes, it was no longer interesting to watch but more of a “are we there yet?” We all know how it ends and that’s obvious but the story was just utterly ludicrous.

A Shop for Killers Episode 2

This episode truly tells the backdrop of the original series told in a much better way than just having a flashback. The addition of new characters add to the complexity of what was already a complex action-packed series. I believe the second series brings out more of the character which makes it more meaningful as the first series left many questions.

The Prosecutor's Proposal Episode 10

The progression of the series was going right except for the ending. I struggle with a former police officer who doesn’t know how to defend himself, and cheesy scene on the beach using handcuffs as a symbol of rings of commitment. The one who stole the show Cho Min Kyu who has been great as the supporting role and in the end a madman. I mean that was predictable but he definitely showed his acting skills.

Blossoms of Power Episode 19

The story of Changqing’s obsession should have ended several episodes before as all other Princes moved on and shortened the episodes. There wasn’t anything earth shattering about this last few episodes anyway.

It’s a great first episode with several characters introduced but can be confusing, editing is challenging though the storyline kept me interested. I was confused at first as to who is whom until it started making senses. But the series is definitely worth continuing.

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream Episode 8

Episode 8 begins to show more of our leads’ character. Changyang’s two-year obsession for Qianlang, his focus in planning their eventual relationship. The pain that Qiantian’s past and his acting in this episode needs recognition. The reality of Chinese culture where being gay is not generally accepted by society and parents’ expectations from their children to marry and to bear children. Because it’s a society that averages 1 child per family the pressure is steep to keep the lineage going. Other societies may not have this intense pressure but this is China. And not addressing this matter in this series would just have made this a Cinderella story.

I’m just getting really tired of the repeated injuries and near death and not closer to where this show is going. My energy is getting low and need a pick me upper.

It’s nice to see their relationship growing though I’m still lost why and what they see in each other. And how can a cop turned lawyer cannot fight a woman holding a knife. It’s just so lame.

The Edge of Horizon Episode 3

Episode three is the start of the two path out lovers takes, whether by choice or not. Though awkward as it may be these experiences happens frequently to separated lovers. But I can sense their path will be challenged due to difference in status. This was a time when Thailand’s royalty was losing the people’s trust and communism was the gaining ground across Asia. The French idealism education of Phob along with his painful past may lead to his desire for freedom from the existing rulers, which creates the tension between his love for Prince Tin versus his desire for freedom of the people from the ruling royalties.

A mother’s love is easily misunderstood, the bond of a mother and child is the strongest force in the world. But sometimes the passion youth can blind right from wrong. This episode dwells in the youthful passion of our two protagonists and consequences that follows. Beautifully and artfully told specially the intimate scenesI only wish they would reduce the frequent use of the theme music.
