Good enough...?
I started watching with no expectations other than "I'm probably going to hate this one", but after watching 20 episodes I can say that I actually enjoyed myself. There are also some things that I found really annoying about it as well, but I wouldn't say they ruined my experience entirely. I'll list what I didn't like first.- The worldbuilding isn't very solid and it shows on multiple occasions. The magic systems of Daeho are never properly explained, which allows a lot of freedom for the writers to get creative with the events, but also lots of plot holes. There were multiple moments when I thought "wait, they could do that all along?!", and also moments when I wondered why didn't certain characters do anything.
- For a show that is supposed to be based on magical swordmasters, there's not many fights overall, especially for the main characters. It's even worse if we consider that the FMC is supposed to be one of the most powerful mages in the country AND an infamous assassin.
- The introspection of the characters was pretty awful. I could have ignored this if it was just for the secondary roles, but Naksu/Mu Deok herself is never explored as a character all that much. Since she's a protagonist I was expecting better for her.
- Some of the interesting ideas that were introduced during the first episodes were never used later on. One of them is the idea of the Four Seasons mages: I was looking forward to see them shine each in their own way, or at least to see an interesting synergy between the four of them in some fight, but none of that happened. It made me wonder why they got that introduction in the first place.
- The female characters are, for the most part, all imprisoned in the same old stereotypical roles. I was looking forward to see some beautifully written female characters, but they all resulted pretty flat. Mu Deok herself wasn't properly explored even though she's the main character, but she's also the only female character who is an actual swordswoman. Jin Cho Yeon's sole personality trait is her wish to be a wife, Kim Do Ju is just a parental figure, and I'm still trying to understand what was Heo Yoon Ok's reason to be in the story at all. So Yi seemed kind of interesting, but she got so little time on the screen that even her story turned out unsatisfying.
- I'm SO TIRED of love triangles, seriously. They weren't necessary at all. I'm starting to think that the writers include them in the plot just to get on everyone's nerves.
- I'm not mentioning anything specific here so that I don't spoil anything, but the resolution of many sides of the story were very unsatisfying in the end. I felt like some characters were given greatly important roles for no real reason, and also that some other crucial situations of the story got resolved very quickly and quietly. The last two episodes in particular felt extremely rushed compared to the rest.
On the other hand, there were multiple things that I liked.
- First of all, the themes of the story were portrayed pretty well: the struggle for power and for survival, life-or-death situation, the will to sacrifice something important in exchange for something else that is just as important... all these themes keep coming back in multiple situations of different characters and they were pretty consistent.
- The idea of a dangerous mage being stuck in a weak body and the son of a powerful mage who can't use his powers needing to team up was VERY compelling. The dynamic between the two of them was also amazing, with Mu Deok being a very strict, even cruel master and Jang Uk being a talented but also terribly spoiled disciple. They made a great duo and also complemented each other very well. I would have loved them even without their feelings being remotely romantic - I believe they worked just fine together as master and disciple. The way Jang Uk managed to develop his skills over time was also very entertaining, making me root for him all the way.
- Mu Deok is a merciless assassin, but she's also smart and good at acting as a certain role. The way she switched between being a meek and pandering servant to a strict and firm master was fascinating, I always looked forward to see her on the screen.
- The dynamics between other characters were also very good and endearing. The friendship between Jang Uk, Seo Yul, and Park Dang Gu was lovely to see in their interactions, and the tenderness between Park Jin and Kim Do Ju was another favorite of mine (along with their bickering). Jang Uk and Go Won were also a duo I didn't expect to love as much as I do.
- I believe that every single actor was chosen perfectly, really. Everyone did amazing. Jo Jae Yoon was the perfect antagonist, charismatic and scary at the same time. Props to Jung So Min as well for being amazing in her role, despite how difficult it was.
- Last but not least, this drama is visually amazing. The sets, the props, the costumes, and even the styling of the characters is varied and always beautiful. I really appreciated how characters had both long and short haircuts, even with different colors and accessories, instead of the usual period drama styles that can be seen everywhere else. I want to shake hands with whoever decided to give Yoo Joon Sang a beard: I kept thinking how handsome he looked every time he was on the screen.
My conclusion is that, while it's not a perfect drama nor a masterpiece in any way, it was a fun watch. If sword magic is your thing, you will have fun - if not, you might not find anything worth your time here. I'm looking forward to see if the second part of the story makes me change my opinion.

Pretty and quiet
I believe this short film deserves at least one watch. It's a coming-of-age story about a boy, Yi Jie, who slowly comes to some realizations about his feelings toward his girlfriend Pei Xuan and his art teacher Cheng Qi.I don't recommend watching if you're looking for an exciting plot, because this short focuses for the most part on the feelings of the characters. Rather than looking for events, it's important to pay close attention to the reactions of the characters to certain things and the dynamics they have with each other. The acting is pretty good and the camera work is interesting as well - I was able to understand what was going on without being spoonfed the entire picture.
The tone is a little bittersweet, as it usually is with coming out stories about high schoolers, but I didn't mind at all. The 100 apples idea was actually pretty cute and made the ending sweeter to me.

A successful artwork
This short film is very interesting: three couples of actors were given the same script and setting. According to a member of the production team, there were also three different directors. I recommend watching the complete version of this short film as I believe leaves a bigger impression overall.The message "love and attraction can happen and exist between two people regardless of their gender" was portrayed very well, probably in the best way I've seen in any film or show. All the characters also had the exact same gender-neutral names in each version.
The actions of their characters, their attitudes and their interactions with their partner also change in each version, and I really appreciated that as opposed to them being exactly the same. After all, people are never the exact same as someone else: our gender identity, our life and our feelings have an impact on our personalities and even our identities, so it made sense for each couple to live the same event slightly differently. I believe this expresses even better how feelings might differ depending on the person, but that doesn't make them any less real for the people who experience them.
I don't want to talk more in detail about this short film simply because I believe it deserves to be watched at least once. It's less than 20 minutes long overall, so I highly recommend giving it a try!

The romance saved the series for me
I finished the series in the span of 3 days. While the plot was very disappointing, the romance was what kept me watching until the very end. The love story between the two main characters also takes up the majority of the series, way more than the plot, so I believe it's enough to make the rating higher overall.Starting from the plot: it's definitely the weakest part of the series. It's supposed to be about the son of a mafia boss, but to be honest I kept forgetting about it - the characters only seemed a bunch of rich people who use guns from time to time. It's never clear what are Nuengdiao or Palm's feelings about this "business" either, whether they don't believe it's a big deal or they're just convinced that they're "the good mafia". Another reason why it was hard to keep in mind the "mafia" aspect of the story was the complete lack of organization and proper use of resources in the group: where are the bodyguards? Where are the security systems? This sloppy depiction and lack of care for the theme forced me to suspend my disbelief in front of several situations.
The plot itself suffers from a similar problem: it was neglected to the point that it looks more like a draft. There were many situations that could have been easily solved or avoided based on the premises, but they just happen anyway, which made the story frustrating to keep up with. There are even instances where the characters seem to actively avoid solving the problems just to let the story last longer. The events were extremely predictable, so the lack of proper action and the plot holes did nothing but annoy me even more.
The romance, on the other hand, was very fun and sweet. I liked how Nuengdiao and Palm started off with a rather cold relationship forced by their circumstances, but then gradually warmed up to each other. The main conflict for them was about their feelings getting in the way of their duty and vice-versa, and seeing this theme being used so thoroughly was a joy for me! I really like the bodyguard trope and I was hoping for something like this. Both Palm and Nuengdiao are far from being perfect: they make mistakes and hurt each other, but it's all backed up by their inner conflicts, fears, and desires, so nothing ever felt out of place for either of them.
The relationships between characters overall were well detailed too. Ben and Chopper in particular have their own inner conflicts and desires and they're all portrayed properly on the screen, but Nueng and Palm's parents were also great characters in their own right. The acting was pretty good, but I especially enjoyed the performances from Phuwin and Perth.
In conclusion, I believe that one might like or dislike this series based on what do they look for in a BL. If you're looking for an interesting and well-written plot, then this is absolutely not for you. If you're looking for a romantic love story with some action sprinkled in, then this might be just right!

Why am I feeling so tired...?
I started watching for two reasons: the presence of Choi Siwon as one of the protagonists (I never saw him in a drama before) and a short clip of John Jang and Park Ji Wan (Park Yeon Woo and Son Hwa Ryung) from the show. I also liked the premise enough, but unfortunately things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped.This show has two main weaknesses: it tried to use certain tropes and elements of the story way too much, to the point that it got very boring, and at the same time it introduced multiple interesting themes that could have been explored more but ended up being set aside.
The love story between Yeo Reum and Jae Hoon could have ended in the span of the first few episodes (after a few fixes here and there), but instead the writers tried to drag it for longer, which made the series oddly tiring for me to watch. Any kind of obstacle that comes between the two main characters doesn't feel threatening to their love in the slightest (not Han Ji Yeon, not Kang Chae Ri, nothing at all), so it ended up feeling as entertaining as watching paint dry. I was half-hoping that this long wait could be useful for the two of them to actually mature, but that wasn't the case either.
The show actually introduces multiple themes that could have been explored better: not only the environment behind the production of a reality TV show, but also eating disorders, mental illnesses, past traumas, relationships with family and colleagues, and so on. All of these themes ended up being neglected in favor of the boring main plotline, so I couldn't help feeling robbed in the end.
Like many others both in the comments and in other reviews, the only reason why I didn't regret watching this drama and why I'm giving it such a high score is the unexpected couple of John Jang and Park Ji Wan. John Jang went through a beautiful character development, and Ji Wan's character also got to show multiple sides of her character. That, combined with the lovely plot they got, turned them into the most interesting part of the entire drama. I wouldn't mind watching the series one more time just for their moments.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about this drama. It was entertaining and I was able to finish it, but I didn't enjoy myself all that much. I only recommend watching in case you don't have anything else to watch at the moment.

Not enough going on for my taste
Story-wise, this series has good potential to be interesting: rivals-to-lovers tropes tend to be very exciting since they usually start with mutual respect (even when it's reluctant!) and it leaves room for character development and introspection.In this case, the writers decided to neglect that potential entirely. I was hoping that the series would get better despite that, but instead it felt like the story never developed a distinct flavor. Most events happened without me having much of a reaction, simply because they felt like they were meant to fill up space and nothing else.
The actors were decent, I'd say, but the characters weren't explored and their relationships were barely portrayed. Shu Yi is supposed to be a very close childhood friend of Zheng Wen and Yu Xin, but judging on their scenes together I'd barely consider them acquaintances; there are a couple moments of them teasing each other that are probably meant to show that they're close, but these elements are way too inconsistent to amount to something.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Shu Yi and Shi De is also damaged by this. I don't want to give further details and risk spoiling anything, so I'll just say that the chemistry was nowhere to be found.
The finale was also extremely unsatisfying. It didn't feel like an ending at all, and what's worse is that, since I've seen the teaser to the second season, it made me lose all the interest I had in this series.
I might be biased because of the high rating, but to be honest I expected much better. I'm glad to see that this series reached its ideal audience, I guess, but to me it felt flavorless, which is quite bad when compared to the multiple amazing Taiwanese BLs out there.

Cute and feel-good, but also kind of empty
I have enjoyed multiple short films from Strongberry so far, so I was pretty excited when I first heard that they would finally release a longer series. All their series can be very sweet, funny, or sentimental, and they're all excellent queer representation, so I was looking forward to this one.I can say that I enjoyed it, but also felt unsatisfied with the story. There is some plot (more like the skeleton of a plot) in how Choco and Milk managed to come back to Jungwoo as humans, and there are also vague hints at how Jungwoo lived his life during their absence, but other than that it's 100% slice of life, without much happening. There is no major event and no character development whatsoever. I was hoping to see Choco and Milk face the many aspects of living their lives as humans, although I also understand why they didn't feel the need to since they're Jungwoo's pets.
The actors were all very good, especially Choco and Milk, whose behavior really mirrored that of a dog and a cat perfectly. I'd say that the show is mostly centered around that and the dynamics between them, Jungwoo, and Jungwoo's boss, and it shows them in a very straightforward way.
I felt a little disappointed in the lack of a solid plot for the story, but the overall atmosphere of the series and the acting made up for it. If you're looking for something cute that isn't hard to follow, this might be for you.

Full of flaws, but somehow still enjoyable...?
Like I said in the title, this series is full of flaws. I don't believe it would be fair to pretend there isn't any: stiff acting, slow pacing (and slow dialogues!), plenty of overused tropes, plotlines that were introduced but never developed, and even the English subtitles on the official episodes on YouTube being pretty awful.The reason I'm giving this series such a high score is that, despite all of this, I was still able to finish all the episodes without much trouble, and even enjoyed myself. So, for a change, I also want to list the things that I appreciated in the series, just in case you have nothing better to watch and you're looking for reasons to give this show a try.
- The couple dynamic isn't overly polarized. It might look like the typical combination of rich+caring and childish+innocent, but it's not exactly like that. Sure, Ai IS rich and takes care of Nhai in many ways, but Nhai is an actual adult with a few childish traits and not just a baby in an adult body. It's shown multiple times in the show that he can make his own mind about things, that he can be equally as romantic and loving to Ai, and that he can be determined enough not to let other people walk all over him.
- The group of friends of Nhai and Ai is one of the best I've ever seen in a Thai series. They get a good amount of screen time, and while their side couples were not explored much, they are fleshed out well enough and they don't just function as a convenient "frame" for Ai and Nhai's love story. Most importantly, they are NOT ditched after Ai and Nhai become a couple and the characters hang out together throughout the entire story.
- The parents of both Ai and Nhai are pretty cool and fun (with an important exception, iykyk). I also heard that the two actors interpreting Ai's father are an actual couple in real life, so it was fun to see queer people representing queer characters.
- The story is fluffy and romantic. It might have felt slow at times, but I was just so endeared with all the cute moments I could watch here.
- The lives of the characters are explored enough to show some clear likes and dislikes, and they weren't another instance of a show revolving entirely on two guys kissing or anything like that.
- While there were some typical tropes here and there, there was also a significant lack of annoying tropes that are way too popular, such as: miscommunication, unnecessary angst, break-ups for the sake of the other person, and stuff like that.
This being said, I understand that this show is not for everyone, and probably not even for most people, so watch at your own risk. All I know is that I had fun watching, and wouldn't mind watching again sometime either.

Beautifully intense
I found out that this drama exists because of a list of enemies-to-lovers BL recommendations, and went to dig up the episodes out of curiosity despite not being a huge fan of the trope.Turns out, this is a beautiful coming of age story. The acting is perfect and the OST never felt out of place; if anything, it made every scene better. The camera work was also quite interesting to see, making the whole series a delight for the eyes.
I gave it a low rewatch value for two reasons: the first one is that the pacing of the story is quite slow, which means that while it might make every emotion more intense and tangible along the way, it can also get very frustrating if you already know what comes next. The second reason is more personal: there's a lot of pain and tears in this story, and while conflict is necessary for an interesting plot, it's not my cup of tea, so I might be hesitant to pick this series up again in the future unless I forgot what happens in the story.
Overall, I strongly recommend watching this series. It raises the bar for all the BL dramas out there, and I hope that it will motivate the industry to put more effort and artistry in their BL works in the future.

Such a lovely couple!
"What did you eat yesterday?" shows the day-to-day life of a mature gay couple. I started watching hoping that I would enjoy myself, and ended up loving it.Shiro and Kenji make an unexpectedly good pair. Shiro is very pragmatic and a little grumpy from time to time, and also still not comfortable with being openly gay (especially at his workplace and in crowded places), but after a little while it's very obvious how most of the little things he does day by day are for the sake of Kenji's health and happiness. Kenji, on the other hand, is led by his feelings most of the time and the most comfortable with his sexuality; he wishes he could take care of Shiro more and show him around proudly, but he's willing to give him the time and space to do so on his own terms (well, in most cases).
Rather than a story, this drama is a slice-of-life series and it includes many aspects that aren't mentioned or explored in other LGBTQIA+ shows. I was surprised to see some events of my past in the series, which made it very relatable for me. The idea of Shiro and Kenji being able to navigate through their issues, both the solvable and unsolvable ones, despite their differences and their occasional disagreements, is truly heartwarming to me! I found myself watching with tears in my eyes more than once. The acting of the two protagonists definitely helped with that - they fit so well with each other!
The drama includes many recipies for the different dishes prepared by Shiro (and other characters) in each episode. If you're looking for skinship of any kind, I recommend looking elsewhere - this is not a typical BL and there's no fanservice included!
I had fun, feld moved and ended up devouring the entire series in the span of a couple of days. Absolutely recommended!

Very painful romance but I have no regrets
I was hesitant about picking up this one because I had heard that there was lots of drama and angst in the story, but I saw it being recommended too many times (and I saw Bai Lu being praised all around A LOT), so I had to watch it and make an opinion for myself.The story is about Tantai Jin, the demon lord who is destined to bring chaos to the world, and Li Susu, the immortal who witnesses the destruction brought by Tantai Jin and travels 500 years back in time to prevent his rise to power. What Li Susu doesn't expect is to be reincarnated as Tantai Jin's wife, and Tantai Jin to be a mortal who is hated and mistreated by everyone. Just like that, Ye Xiwu's plan becomes more complicated: she has to find a way to neutralize Tantai Jin's evil core, but she also needs to make sure he doesn't die in the meantime.
The story flows very nicely. There is a lot going on, but the pace is not too fast and it allows to follow all the events well without getting confused, all without ever needing to slow down too much. There's also a very good balance between the dramatic plot elements and the more fun, romantic, and fluffy ones, which was a huge relief to me.
The cast was amazing all around, with very likeable characters and great villains as well. I was impressed by the ML the most for his performance as Tantai Jin: he was able to portray a very complex character, managing to show warmth and coldness as needed without it ever feeling unnatural. I've seen a good amount of anti-hero protagonists, but this is one of the few who were actually unsettling to me, in the best way possible!
The quality of the production was very high, with special effects that never looked out of place nor overdone. The OST also matches the core moments of the drama and enhances them very well.
I can't lie, the story made me suffer a lot. There's lots of moments that made my heart ache for the characters, and after almost 40 episodes I was starting to feel a little tired from all the heartbreaks I had to watch. Despite this, I enjoyed this story and its characters a lot, and I can easily recommend it to any fan of the Xianxia genre.

They completely won me over!
I heard nothing but good things about Unintentional Love Story, so I was really looking forward to watch it and make my own opinion about it. I'm not going to lie: I was also a little bit skeptical about it for some reason, and ready to look for flaws that would make me dislike this drama at least in part.As you might have guessed by the overall rate I chose, Unintentional Love Story ended up winning me over, and became one of the best Korean BLs I've ever watched.
The story starts off with multiple circumstances involving the main characters, Ji Wonyoung and Yoon Taejoon, that need to be kept in mind in order to make the watch more enjoyable. This is not the kind of drama that one can watch while half-asleep or unable to keep track of the plot details being revealed little by little in the story, you've been warned!
If I had to pick one recurring theme for this story, I'd say it's about freedom, in particular the need to break free from what hold people back in life. At the beginning Ji Wonyoung finds himself being swept away by situations and people much bigger and powerful than him, so he ends up acting against his own morals. At the same time, Yoon Taejoon is trapped by an intense feeling of loss and betrayal that made him unable to truly trust anyone around him. Not much is revealed in detail about these two protagonists, yet their interactions on screen and the way they slowly start taking space in each other's life and adapting to one another is a wonder for the eyes. I also really liked how they indirectly made the other people in their life change as well.
The pacing of the story was just perfect: I felt like the characters took the perfect amount of time to get to know each other and build up their chemistry, and the obstacles they found along the way were all reasonable. Even when things looked bad for their romance, I didn't feel frustrated nor annoyed at anyone's decision or train of thoughts a single time, precisely because the characterization AND the writing of the drama were so perfect - something that even dramas with the highest budget get wrong sometimes.
The two couples were very good and I really liked how different their respective dynamics were. Neither of them were a "passionate making out moments" kind of couple (if you're looking for steamy kisses and love scenes, this is not for you!), but they were both very cute. Wonyoung and Taejoon especially made a very warm and romantic couple; the secondary couple wasn't shown enough for me to make a clear opinion about it, but I've heard that a spin-off about them will be coming soon and I'm curious to see how they will do there.
In conclusion, I consider this a must-watch for any BL fan, and I also strongly recommend it to whoever wants to watch a nice romantic drama in general. Each episode lasts about 35 minutes, so it's about 6 hours overall - not too demanding at all, so dive in if you have the chance!

Not what I was expecting at all
The synopsis here on MDL is too generic to give a clear picture of what this is about. I had only seen a few short glimpses of this drama here and there and I was expecting something packed full with action and maybe comedy. It turned out to be a lot more sentimental and introspective than I thought, but I actually enjoyed it a lot!This story is about Bu Yiyong, a high schooler with a passion for drawing. Despite having a hereditary talent for calligraphy and a grandfather who keeps encouraging him to refine his skills, he has no interest in it. Things start to change when, after an accident that leaves him in a coma for two years, mysterious creatures start approaching him and asking for his help.
The plot mainly revolves around Bu Yiyong solving mysteries that involve supernatural beings, so if detective stories with fantasy elements are your thing, you will probably enjoy it! What you might not expect is how these stories actually involve a lot of introspection for all the people involved, including Bu Yiyong himself. The themes are mainly about past trauma, grief, and overall about overcoming the shadows of the past, on top of bringing comfort to those who were left behind. (If you're particularly sensitive, get some tissues ready, maybe?)
The characters are all introduced and used very well in the story, especially Chen Chuying and Cao Guangyan, who stay by Yiyong's side all the way through. The three of them develop their friendship in a very unusual way, but it works and it's amazing - I was afraid that they would feel out of place with each other until the end, but instead I ended up feeling like something was missing whenever one of the three wasn't present. There were also some hints of romance and bromance scattered here and there (between Yiyong and Chuying, and between Yiyong and Guangyan, respectively), but the drama never seemed to take any of those moments too seriously and were mostly used as comic relief. If you're looking for romance, this is definitely not the place.
The only part of this series that left me unsatisfied was the final resolution of the plot - I couldn't help feeling like something was missing and that not everything had come to a proper conclusion, which is why I gave it a 9 instead of a 10. I really hope there'll be a second season for this drama.
TL;DR: excellent drama if you're into detective stories, supernatural elements and tear-jerking themes with a touch of good humour, definitely not for you if you want romance. I personally enjoyed it a lot, so consider giving it a chance!

Overall so mild it's almost flavorless
I debated with myself for a long time about whether I enjoyed this series or not. It was definitely entertaining enough for me to finish it, which is a start, and I liked the actors and the effort they put in their roles. The plot, however? It was just so confusing, with excellent ideas scattered in a sea of bad and boring writing, that I still can't decide whether it's just horrible or there's still something good inside.The school is depicted as this horrible and tyrannical place to be in, but I found it hard to identify with the "rebels" as there was no actual element that made me believe it was a horrible place. The only rules I saw being applied were the dress code (everyone must wear school uniforms) and the students not being allowed to use their phones. It just felt like seeing any other school, except that Suppalo brags about being traditional for no real reason other than the plot saying so.
Because of this, the behavior of the students doesn't make much sense. They made some good points in the plot, but the overall context lacks the power to make them feel strong enough. I don't want to spoil anything, but some of the most extreme actions taken by the characters lack the right motivation; on top of it, many of these extreme actions aren't met with the proper reactions or consequences. It felt like the writers just wanted to make me feel agitated no matter what.
The couples are cute and the actors did a good job, but unfortunately I can't say anything more than this.
In conclusion, now that I've watched all the episodes I felt like I watched something, but I can't pinpoint what I watched exactly. I feel disappointed because the trailer felt mysterious and I was curious to see what would this series be about, but apparently the writers don't know either. I don't recommend watching unless you like the actors in it.

Something new and well-made disguised as something old and badly-made
While watching the first episode and seeing who were the main characters, I immediately started guessing what would happen in the story. I expected the usual clichés: the main guy with glasses and a goofy smile would get a makeover and suddenly turn conventionally attractive, his panicked friend would get consistently (and uncomfortably) hit on, and their feminine friend would just be the comic relief of the show. Anyone's stalking or harrassment would never be addressed and the bad behaviors would be just romanticised. If it wasn't for the countless positive comments on this page saying that this show is actually good, I wouldn't have been able to keep watching.In the end, all my expectations were destroyed for the better, which I guess says it all about how actually good this show is. The usual tropes were subverted, making the series a lot more interesting to watch. After feeling a lot of second-hand embarrassment for some ridiculous scenes at the beginning of the show, I got so invested I finished watching everything in the span of a few days. The actors were all amazing and I really hope I'll get to see them again in other future projects.
I also want to compliment the translation team, because the subtitles were some of the best made I've ever seen - providing not only the translation for the dialogue, but also captions for sound effects, and context and cultural information about what was going on at given moments.
I recommend watching this one at least once!
