What makes you so sure that it was made up? And have you been a victim of assault? I have and it's not funny business when the people who assaulted me ganged up together and told others that I was "asking for it" and "enjoyed what was happening to me" and the HR dept. Told me that even it did happen, that they would side with the 6 people who are apparently more valuable to the company as employees than the one person (me) who was more dispensable. And they will just chuck the situation as a "he said, she said" scenario and call it as that. Trust me when nobody wants to believe you when you're speaking the truth, you will feel differently about the situation.

Wow. There's a lot of generalizations and assumptions here. Did you conduct a consensus on the percentage of number of gay people in K-pop? Not even the statistics in progressive countries like US and Canada puts the LGBTQ population past 10%. US at 7.1% (2022 Gallup Poll) Canada at 4% (2021 Stats Can). Granted you mentioned the Arts where the likelihood of LGBTQ individuals maybe higher, but even then, it couldn't be more than double. And it's even presumptuous to say so, it's like saying guys who do ballet, theater or ice skating are most likely gay because they're not straight if they do. Unfounded hypothesis are harmful and do nothing to advance whatever that you are trying to achieve.

Please don't paint everyone in the same brush. It's mentality like this that makes it difficult for people to speak out against injustice. What if someone was raped? Would you dismiss the victim's claims as casually you did here? Victim blaming is one of the biggest reasons some people are afraid of reporting assaults. Why should the onus be on the victim to prove their injuries rather than the perpetrator to prove their innocence? Just because 1 or 2 people lied about being attacked doesn't mean most of the people will. Hate crimes against LGBTQIA+ people are very real. Please don't dismiss it as fiction.

I watched this 10 yrs ago, just posting all the comments on Dramas that I had stored on the spreadsheet before I was aware of MDL. And I did watch In Time With You and it's one of my top 5 Taiwanese drama. #1 being the original Meteor Garden.

Bai Xin Tang and Gong Sun Zhe

In the beginning, I wasn't really sold on the premise for this drama, mainly because of how they wrote FL as a bitter, selfish woman who uses her moneyed status to intimidate people. But the ML breathe life into her sad and forlorn existence was worth watching the show. Shin Hye Sun's acting chops are versatile, having watched her a few other dramas, and she is great as the prima ballerina Lee Yeon Seo who was blinded by an accident and with it, robbed her of whatever humanity she had left in her body.

Enter Kim Myung Soo as Kim Dan, an angel with an equally angelic face, whose mission was to find a cynical, spoiled brat the true love that she apparently deserves. Surprisingly, Lee Yeon Seo gives in to their push and pull, and it seems like Kim Dan has tamed the shrew, but not without a few sacrifices of his own.

The rest of the cast delivered, from Ji Kang Woo as the long-suffering Lee Dong Gun who lost his wife who is Yeon Seo's doppelganger to Kim Bo Mi, who plays as the over-looked second-rate ballerina who deserves the spotlight as much as Yeon Seo, but was held back by family politics. The suspenseful dramatics were held by Yeon Seo's family whose eagerness to claim Fantasia's throne and misplaced affection, led some of them to heinous dealings.

Though I bawled my eyes out half of the time, the drama exceeded my expectations in that in dealt with the different types of love and sacrifices that people make for love.

These Rom coms are in my top 10 Chinese drama list: Love O2O, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Accidentally In Love, Perfect and Casual, and Dating in the Kitchen.

I had high expectations for this drama because my fave Leo Luo is in it, but sadly it didn't live up to them, though no fault of his. Leo Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu have sizzling chemistry as Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, childhood friends turned rivals due to a misunderstanding.

The boardroom drama at the first half of the show was amazing, especially when the FML tries to battle investment experts as a fresh-faced rookie. Even after a few setbacks, Jiang Jun's determination finally won her a permanent seat in the investment company she works in, with her friend-turned-rival as her boss. Meanwhile, Yuan Shuai attempts to worm his way back into her life after harboring a decade-long crush and Jiang Jun mistakes those gestures as an attempt to throw her off her game. She gets the unlikely help from Du Lei, an industry expert from a rival company, who may or may not harbor more ulterior motives.

The main story-line is what made me finish this drama, while the secondary couple was forcibly thrown together and their chemistry is non-existent. Xu Li was ingratiating that I had to skip a lot of her scenes together with Xiao Chuan. As for the rest of the supporting characters, I feel that they were handled poorly. For example, Qiao Na could be an evil bitch but she wasn't. Shen Xin and Linda I believe were forgiven too quickly for my liking, despite having inflicted harm on other people. Same goes with Du Lei, his narrative weaved from bad to good to bad to good as if the writers didn't not know what to do with him. Even Tai Mo, who was supposed to be this big villain, was underutilized, and his defeat came too easily. The 36 episode length did not accommodate the possibilities, and instead, the last 6 episodes were unnecessary.

Typical Japanese comedy / fantasy. Adorable Characters with some over-acting. Short & interesting plot but can be a bit convoluted. Most kissing in a Jap drama that I ever viewed.

The premise of a monk falling hopelessly in love with a city girl with big dreams was quite interesting. Yamapi and Ishihara sizzle on screen. A lot of adorable characters as well but I was rooting for another guy whose game is weak. What I didn't like though is that the show romanticized the stalker-type behavior of the male lead, who even went so far as to lock the girl up, in an attempt to force her into accepting him as her lover. Although it worked out for them in the end, the means didn't justify the outcome.

Convoluted revenge-love story involving two frenemies that are downright toxic. Only watch if you want a non-straightforward plot with some unsavory characters.

Lackluster forbidden love story that turned cringy about a brother preventing his sister from nurturing any type of relationship because of his over-protectiveness.

Bittersweet love-story between a teacher and her student. If you're not wary about the 10-year age gap between the leads and don't mind the story-line, this is a decent watch.

For me, This was a fun, fluffy reverse-harem drama that pits unlikely men of varying ages, background and personality as rivals fighting for a clueless woman's love. The leads were easy on the eyes and played their characters well.

Very good adaptation of the original. The drama is lighter and flows faster compared to the Taiwanese original and the leads have very good chemistry.

Dropped after quarter way through as it bored me. Dialogue-driven drama with quirky characters but too dry for my liking. Apparently a good show for those into slice-of-life, which I'm not really a fan of.

Dropped halfway through the series. I'm struggling with this drama, not because it isn't good. But I have never wanted to take so many knives out of my cupboard because of so many characters. Typical dramas have one or 2 hateful characters (usually a spiteful mother-in-law or an annoying SFL). But this!!!!! I wanted to smash the heads of Yeo Joon's so-called-friends who accuse others of leeching when it fact they are the worst ones do so. If there is an award for the worst family, Yeo Joon's parents take the cake. (Maybe tied with the psychotic mother in IOTBO).
And all those girls who are just jelly and abusive toward So Bin because Yeo Joon didn't choose them should just go to hell. Even though they are kids, those who made fun of So Bin for not having a mother are just plain mean. The professor who pilfers her student's work without crediting them, as if it was her privilege shouldn't be teaching. It's like they put every scumbag in one drama and it is making my blood boil!!!!

I was excited by the premise of a love-hate relationship between celebrity and commoner that I ignored the lukewarm reviews. After watching it though, it was neither here nor there. What I did enjoy was the idea of a kpop idol and a rookie journalist being at odds in the beginning due to misunderstandings. It was their story that made me finish the drama. What I did not enjoy was the secondary couple who should not even be together due to the toxicity of the relationship. I wish that they casted a real kpop idol to play the male lead who could actually sing and dance, but instead they casted a kpop idol for the female lead who did not require her singing/dancing skills.

I am a sucker for gender bender dramas, and this one is done well. Park Eun Bin is solid as steel as she maneuvers the political machinings of the royal family as a pretend monarch. Rowoon is decent but not outstanding as the Royal tutor loyal to his King. The supporting cast did a better job than Rowoon, even the child actors playing their younger selves. Kudos especially to rookie actor Nam Yoon Su who played the brooding noble pining for his cousin. The plot, while intricate, was a bit predictable, especially the anti-climactic ending. Despite this, this drama was an easy and enjoyable watch for me.

This drama is such a fresh take on villain protagonists. Song Joong Ki is perfect as the badass consigliere who takes justice in his own hands. Vincenzo has one rule: do not punish the innocent. Contrary to this rule are the corporate vile monsters who won't stop at nothing (even stoop to murder) to reach their goals. The acting is phenomenal, especially by Taec Yeon as the psychotic genius behind Babel. Not many Korean crime dramas infuse it with dark humor, although yes, sometimes it can be over-the-top and cringey. The funny scenes, I believe, try to give some humanity in a drama that showcases evil, nefarious deeds.

The juxtaposition of comedy and cruelty works well in this case, the comedic relief mostly provided Vincenzo's oddball crew, namely the tenants of Geungnam Plaza, who have different quirks that may look ridiculous in most instances but their heart in protecting their building and their earnestness in helping other victims of corporate greed are endearing.

There's not much to be said about Vincenzo in the romance department though, as Song Joong Ki seemed to have more chemistry and more skinship moments with the other male actors than with Jeon Yeo Been. Even Inagzhi the pigeon has more chemistry with Joong Ki so if you are looking for romance, this isn't the right show for you, But if you want to see hotness in the form of a Mafia kickass-master flicking a lighter in every episode, then this is a must-see if you try to overlook some loopholes.
