"'Like' me before you get to know me."
"I just want people to 'like' me. Is that so wrong?"

Based on the view count, fan-made music videos that followed, and the number of 'Following' on the actress' Instagram that seemingly skyrocketed (I read that from the comments on youtube), this short film definitely succeeded in going viral. Production-wise, you can see that they put a lot of thoughts and effort into making this one. They flew to Japan to film this, and the cinematography and illustration proved its production value. It's nice to look at, and the music is very good as well.

Everyone (in the comments on youtube) agrees to the same idea that the story contains a good message about how you should value your beauty and self-worth from within – that is, if you totally disregard the fact that it's a commercial for a skin care clinic. One of the top comments on the official video said that the skin care clinic logo at the end was like a "slap in the face". "You fell for it, sucker. Now come on down and get your meteorite face fixed."

I'm disagreeing with that point completely. The main message as I see it is to actually care about your beauty "in real life" as opposed to wanting to be "liked" online by using apps to fix your face. If you look at it that way, and maybe watch it again, you'll see that the message is really there, but somehow the majority is not getting it. Either way, both points are still solid. Besides that brand logo at the end, they didn't cooperate the brand into this short film at all.

For me, it's doing well as a short film. The fact that this lacks the quality of being a "Thai" production, though, is a bit too bad.

One of gmmtv’s best bl

This is one of gmmtv’s best if not best bl. Mix did such a good job for his first lead role in a series. Wasn’t the BEST acting, prob where mix can improve is his crying scenes. Seems like he has a tough time finding that spot to start his water works but other than that, for his first lead role he did amazing. The music is always on point. And can I give props to the kids. They did a great job! The cinematography was really a step up in this series compared to other gmmtv’s bl series. Story in this is really nice and different. Because it’s different it’s nice and refreshing. Not too sure on the rewatch ability on this series but having said that, you def have to watch this. Won’t be disappointed

Story: I watched this one shortly after finishing the first movie, and if I had to pick between the two, this one would definitely get my vote. It was faster paced, so you didn't feel too bored at certain parts. Much like the first one, there are things in this that are completely different from the manga and anime, and like I said with the first movie, I didn't think it hurt the movie too much.

Acting/Cast: I said in the last one that I loved Fujiwara Tatsuya and Matsuyama Kenichi as Light and L, and that definitely didn't change while watching this movie.

Toda Erika got more time in this one, as was expected, and I liked her in her role as Misa as well. In the manga/anime, my opinion on Misa always varied. I'd love her one second and then really dislike her the next. Toda Erika managed to make it so I was a Misa fan from start to finish.

Music: Again, I don't remember much of the music in this movie. The only song I can remember, other than the suspenseful music they sometimes tossed in, was a RHCP song.

Rewatch Value: I scored it one higher than the first movie because, like I said, I definitely enjoyed this one more.

Overall: Overall, I loved it. The ending in the manga had me kind of sad. The ending in the anime had me crying. The ending of the movie actually had me bawling.

My only complaint with this movie, other than that damn RHCP song, is that it seemed a little anticlimactic. The ending felt like it was too fast at times, and then too slow at times, but in the end, it was still anticlimactic.

This is the first K-Drama I ever watched, I never expected to like it as much as I did. It's so different from a lot of stuff i've seen in the U.S. I was so happy to find a K-Drama section on Hulu (sorry if you don't live in the U.S. or Japan, Hulu really is awesome). The acting and storyline in this is awesome! Again, as some other people have pointed out, it can be a little far fetched at times but hey that's the point of watching a show right? If you're on a break from school or something or have a good amount of free time, definitely go for it. I'd also say it's a good stepping-off point drama for friends that you're trying to get into it (along with Boys over Flowers...either one)

to start with, i don't have any expectations when i start watching. But because of the comedy, the unique characters, and dinners i keep on watching.

Tang Fan character is just my favorite kind, the clumsy, prodigy & eats a lot. Well his character got weakened somehow in last few episodes, which really bothers me, but at least it doesn't happen for too long.
Sui Zhou, the dubbing for his character bothers me the most. but i got used to it. I really like the bromance he had with Tang Fan. He's great leader, cook, and almost all the girls had crush on him (including me)
Wang Zhi, i can't take my eyes from him he's just really cute. He also got a good character development. At first i was confused by his actions, i can't really see which side he was on. But then, I was amazed by how loyal he is to the Emperor and Empress. His character wasn't even 20 and already that smart, i truly can't relate.

Case solving was really fun and it's connected one and another. The comedic timing is perfect, it's truly Jackie Chan's styled.
Side characters like Dong'Er, Pei Huai, DoEr La, was great too. their teamwork with the trio ML was great. My favorite scenes is when they all eating together and when Tang Fan goes undercover (i still can't get over it (≧▽≦))
There are no annoying character, beside the villains.

i really love the cinematography, i could see that they really put effort into it. The fighting scenes were nicely choreograph too! I didn't pay much attention to the music, but the ones in the intro and outro were good.

However the editing on first few episodes were a mess. The characters were still talking but it's suddenly cuts to outro. Also the episodes were incoherent, they're almost not connected at all. And the storyline got weakened during ep 20 to 30's, i guess that's inevitable since there's 48 episodes.

I really, really, love the ending.
I didn't cry, it just makes me crave for another season.

If you could tolerate plot holes and lots of eating scenes then i recommend you this drama.

I loveeeeee it!

OMG! Don’t really know how to review it here since i’m not good in English, my native language isn’t included in the list, but i try.. :D I love this kind of drama, have already rewatched it twice.. Believe me, it’s worth watching, especially if you wanna have a good cry (i cried more in Siege in Fog, love that drama too). At least here, the couple had more sweet memorable times together compared to the couple in SIF, not to forget those 2 awesome sidekicks, love their brotherhood,.. and the OST, it’s so beautiful, i just can’t get enough.. ❤️❤️ For me, all the actions and behaviors of the characters in this drama are understandable, everyone has their own character, personality, obsession, pride, lack/wrong guidance that have made them irrational. They’re not as rational as us, the viewers :p .. so just enjoy the drama, and start appreciate and be grateful for what we’ve had now, be it love, freedom, peace, etc.. :D❤️

I wish they had bonus scene for their reunion, give them happiness after all the suffering...

Give it a try.. :D❤️

"Ratee Luang" (which also goes by the title "Love and Deception") is a thai lakhorn from 2022 that stars Puen Kanin as the enigmatic and hot-tempered male lead Pitai "Tai" Phitsanukan and Chippy Sirin as the stubborn and tough female lead Pla Chadathan. We get a lot of Cupid references and symbolism in "Love and Deception" where Cupid who is the god of love & desire along with the mystic forces of destiny leads our main-leads on a merry ride. Pla and Tai starts off as friends with Tai falling for her older sister Koong and planning to marry her. But finding out that Koong cheated on him with his own father enrages him into a soul deep bitterness and rage, not only directed at his father and Koong, but also Pla. We watch him race towards the rainy storm in middle of the night, uncaring of his fate.

But Cupid and the forces of destiny have other, more magical plans in store for our heartbroken hero. We see him running away from Pla in one of the flashbacks in ep 1, while hiding he angrily watches Pla from afar, with a statue of Cupid right near him with his raised bow. Ultimately...the deep fixation Tai has for Pla-and in his anger of her...steams of desire will grow until he do force and blackmail her into marrying him. Love bloomed without neither of them really expecting in their course of fighting each other. Pla gives him the kiss that awakens him from his cloud of hatred and vengeance. It is such a intense but highly entertaining journey. They are lovers to be tested in this long sweet journey, but as Cupid wills it, "love conquers all".

Romance in "Love and Deception" really worked out for me because Pla and Tai were both interesting characters and together they fired up the screen. Their relationship developement was done and built very well.All props to the actors Chippy and Puen as well, its my first time watching them on-screen and they gave delightful performances. I totally loved the child-actor playing Tan as well, so cute! What i had most problem with this lakhorn was actually the editing. It was good sometimes, but very bad in some other cases which was very obvious in the start and end of this lakhorn.

While Voice season 1 gave me a horror of sheer evil, this second season gives me the unthinkable thoughts of dreadfulness when it comes to the villain’s work of arts – slaying people lives, smart brain, angelic face, and endless connections. Almost is perfect with him doing the gritty crime. I couldn’t even fathom how the protagonist can defeat him, and I think that’s one of the reasons why this drama is compelling till the end.
I am a big fan of Lee Jin Wook, and as usual, he never disappoints us in this drama. He just nailed it and stood out of his character as a “psychopath detective”. Some are comparing him with Jang Hyuk from season 1 which is very unnecessary for me. Acting-wise, he’s very capable and versatile.
Since this season has ended only for 12 episodes and season 3 is expecting to continue the cliff-hanging issues and unanswered questions, I could say story-wise, I was looking for something more, but still, I believe we can be able to know and understand the whole story, connect all the puzzles and enjoy the bloody fight to the next level of season 3.

Just be patient and see you soon

This show started really well. The acting was great, gorgeous production with beautiful sets and costumes. However, the story quickly becomes repetitive, melodramatic and over-the-top, going from one situation of framing to another of our heroine. It got very tiresome watching our heroine suffer so much, and most of the drama's implausibility led to this suffering. I have to be able to be convinced that some of the events can actually happen, but asking the audience to swallow so much nonsense was a bit of an insult. If anyone can be convicted of a crime based on circumstantial evidence, then I am afraid it was very easy to kill an enemy. There were some plot holes, secondary characters disappear and some over-acting is also present. I liked the production, just not where it went later on.

E lá vem mais um textão hihihi

Desde Pit Babe eu venho sonhando com uma série PingNut, e finalmente veio esse presente chamado I’m the Most Beautiful Count. E olha… que presente mesmo. Aquele tipo de história que te faz pensar “era isso que eu tava esperando e nem sabia”. O conceito de viagem no tempo já foi usado mil vezes, claro, mas aqui eles conseguiram dar uma cara nova, um toque deles. Tem um peso político e moral que não é só jogado pra enfeitar roteiro: a série realmente se envolve com o preconceito e a desigualdade, tanto no mundo antigo quanto no moderno. E ver esses personagens lutando, caindo, tentando mudar as coisas, tentando existir com dignidade me encanta.

E o mais bonito é como essa série consegue equilibrar tudo isso. Drama político, comédia, romance, e ainda tem tempo pra algumas cenas que parecem ter saído de um sonho. Nada fica totalmente leve, mas também não cai no melodrama sem propósito.

O Nut está uma graça. A atuação dele é tão carismática que dá vontade de proteger a personagem e, ao mesmo tempo, bater na testa junto com ela quando tudo dá errado. Esse papel foi feito exatamente pra ele, leve, engraçado, exagerado, expressivo. E o jeito como ele dá conta do exagero da personagem é impressionante. No começo, confesso que achei a Woradej um pouquinho demais (aquele tipo de “meu Deus, respira, menina!”), mas com o tempo passei a ver o encanto nisso. Aquele excesso faz parte dela. E quando o Nut vai equilibrando as cenas sérias com o humor, tudo se encaixa perfeitamente. Principalmente nos encontros entre a Prince e a verdadeira Woradej, da pra ver uma grande diferença de personalidade, enquanto a Prince é exageradamente expressiva, a Woradej é a calmaria em pessoa.

E aí tem o Kosol. A primeira vista a gente pensa logo que ele vai ser um brutamontes grosseiro, mas não, ele é só um brutamontes apaixonado. Ele é aquele tipo de personagem que te faz pensar “é isso, é assim que se ama alguém”. Ele é paciente, respeitoso, completamente encantado por cada pedacinho dela, mesmo depois da mudança de personalidade. Porque antes a Woradej era toda contida, calma, quase etérea, e, depois do envenenamento, vem essa explosão de cores e emoções. E ele fica ali, firme, amando em todas as versões.

Agora, preciso dizer: ver o Lee ganhando um papel de destaque foi um pequeno presente pessoal pra mim. Eu adoro ele, e o Jade é de uma inocência tão pura e divertida que parece quase fora do tempo, um personagem que brilha silenciosamente. Ele é leal aos seus senhores, e a amizade que ele cria com o Chet é preciosa de mais. E Pop e Aton estão incríveis também, é ótimo ver atores que muitas vezes ficam em papéis menores finalmente podendo mostrar tudo que têm.

A história é bem contada, redondinha, com alguns pouquíssimos furos, mas nada que estrague a experiência. É o tipo de série que te conquista mais pelo sentimento e faz você se apegar aos personagens. A fotografia é linda, os figurinos são um deleite, e as locações, um espetáculo à parte.

É uma série divertida pra assistir numa noite fria, enrolada num cobertor e com uma xícara de chocolate quente na mão. I’m the Most Beautiful Count é uma história sobre amor, aceitação e perseverança. Alguns podem não gostar da atuação exagerada do Nut, assim como eu também não gostei no início, mas podem dar uma chance, é uma história que vale a pena assistir.

Between Salvation and Ruin—Love Is the Final Key

This drama is far better than its ratings suggest. The story followed WuShuang, a revered goddess who descended into the mortal realm on a mission to retrieve the God’s Left Arm—an artifact of immense power that she had once forged for the Heavenly God TaiHe. Without it, TaiHe remained in a deathlike slumber. But the Arm had chosen a new master: Yuan Zhong, the high priest of the YouHu Clan, whose destiny had been rewritten the moment the Arm fused with him.

Taking the Arm back would have meant killing Yuan Zhong—a man WuShuang once knew in his youth. Though he no longer remembered her, WuShuang still saw the goodness within him and vowed to protect him… even if it meant defying the heavens.

But time was running out.

HanNu, another goddess, sought the Arm to revive TaiHe—at any cost. Meanwhile, the vengeful War Demons hunted Yuan Zhong, seeking revenge after he annihilated their clan in a brutal massacre using the Arm’s power. And within his own people, betrayal brewed. DingXu, the cunning leader of the YouHu Clan, feared Yuan Zhong’s growing power—and coveted his blood for its life-extending properties.

Now pursued by gods, demons, and his own kin, Yuan Zhong stood on the edge of fate. His only hope lay with WuShuang, his loyal weapon spirits, and a small circle of steadfast allies.

Could he survive the storm of vengeance, ambition, and divine judgment? Or would the power that once served him now become his undoing?

As a longtime fan of both Tiffany Tang (Tang Yan) and Liu Xue Yi, I was absolutely delighted by their performances in this drama. Not only were they both incredibly good-looking, but they also brought a depth and sincerity to their roles that truly made the characters come alive. Their performance in The Legend of Xiao Chuo (Tiffany Tang) and In Blossom (Liu Xue Yi) impressed me, although these dramas were unfortunately also underrated. Their on-screen chemistry was electric—subtle in some moments, intense in others—and it anchored the entire story beautifully. Tang Yan, in her 40s, looked stunning throughout. While her natural elegance certainly played a big part, I must also give credit to the make-up team and cinematographer for capturing her at all the right angles.

The ensemble cast as a whole was strong, with every actor bringing their role to life convincingly. Special mention went to the four main supporting actors and actresses, who delivered standout performances and added emotional layers and tension to the unfolding drama.

The story itself was gripping—twisty, layered, and filled with unexpected developments. From the start, HanNu might have raised some suspicion, but her true motivations remained elusive until much later, which added to the intrigue. Refreshingly, the plot avoided the kind of illogical or cringeworthy moments that sometimes plagued similar fantasy dramas. Everything felt deliberate, grounded, and emotionally resonant.

Costume-wise, the designs were elegant and fitting for the tone of the drama. The sets were well-done, though the backdrop could have used a bit more variety. It felt at times like a mid-tier budget production, but that never compromised the storytelling or acting quality.

The ending was far from a fairytale. Of the two central couples, neither found a happy resolution. Yet, the finale left just enough openness to stir hope—perhaps one couple might reunite someday, if the one left behind chose to embrace divinity and wait across time for his love to return.

Overall, this was a drama that stayed with you. It might not have had the flashiest costumes or the grandest sets, but it more than made up for it with strong performances, compelling storylines, and emotional depth. Definitely worth watching.

The story isn't anything special. Anyone who's watched any drama about high school sports can probably guess how the story would go. The charm of this drama isn't the outcome of the plot but how each episode zoomed in on different problems and different characters. Not only were the core members of the cheer dan team developed well, the parents and the teachers were also given depth and their own personality. Also, the soundtrack is beautiful! The instrumental track in the OP sequence always gets me excited for the coming episode and the theme song that plays at the end of episodes somehow always makes me tear up…

I think at the core of this drama, it's just a story of regular people supporting the people they love — early on, they mentioned the importance of a "cheer spirit" in doing cheer dance, but as the drama progresses you see how many forms this "cheer spirit" can have in real life outside of cheer dance. You can see how the girls came to develop a sense of cheer spirit that was crucial in their cheer dance. (By the way, it's interesting to note that in the final competition towards the end of the drama, the participating cheer dance teams were very courteous to each other and genuine in their support of each other's success. It was a refreshing thing to see, when normally you'd expect some rivals to be jerks. Hooray "cheer spirit"!)

As a fan of Tsuchiya Tao, it may be bias speaking, but I think she did a really great job on this drama. Her character, Fujitani Wakaba, initially doesn't seem very interesting and is often overshadowed by some of the other more eccentric characters in the ensemble. But as the story progresses, you get to peel her personality layer by layer to understand that she is more than just a cheerful simpleton. Another character I like is surprisingly, the Vice Principal (who is a father of a member of the team). His subplots with his daughter are some of my favourite moments in the drama. I also liked the character of Taro-sensei, the teacher in charge of the Cheer Dance club. I liked how his relationship with Wakaba was painted as a relationship of mutual respect, and how genuine he was in supporting the girls' dreams without any hint of lewd intentions. I was initially a bit wary about whether any romantic feelings would sprout between him and Wakaba (it's a genre Japan seems to be fond of lately after all) but I'm relieved that there was none of that kind of bullshit. His relationship with his wife and son was healthy and nice to watch too.

Its taken me a long long time to finish it mainly because apart from viki it wasn't available anywhere.im glad that i managed to watch it otherwise i would have missed this little gem

The plot line sounds pretty average.Friends realising that at the end of the day they love each other.The drama is full of those cliches.Ex-boyfriends and Girlfriends..and other sub plots revolving around ageing and marriage but i utterly loved this drama

Berlin Chen as Li Da Ren is very handsome.He's the type of friend that any girl whould love to have.To share a can of beer over a broken heart.To be in his embrace over betrayal and to chat with him all day long and never getting bored of it.He's someone who's like a pillar of strength and that's what makes him oh so adorable

Ariel Lin is very pretty and more so here since i love her in dresses.she is not the typical dramaland heroine.She has a bad temper,is unbearable to handle and so whimsical at the same time.But she's also a workaholic who doesnt look at the time at all which is passing by.She's a career driven woman who's finally realising that life needs much more than a career and weekends spent with parents.She's feeling tht grey hairs are not to far and thats how our story follows.Frankly i wouldn't be able to handle or bear a person like her but Li Da Ren does evrything he can for this girl.They've been best friends and it shows as we follow them.They are so comfortable with each other that the heroine has taken him for granted almost

The chemitsry between the leads is good but this drama is more about friendship than love according to me.The music fits every frame and was very pleasant on the ears..:)


This drama does have its problems though.Through the first few episodes we see that Cheng You Qing needs Li Da Ren much more than he does.She's always,always asking him to be there for her while she's hardly ever there for him.Lot of time was wasted in her attraction towards her ex bf rather than focusing on the frendship.I also was too much frustrated with You Qing in the last episodes as i became to hate her there.I had hoped the writer would have given them more screen time as a couple but we kept on goin in circles and no together time was shown which is a shame since the leads look so good together.

watch it for the friedship where you'l wish you had a LI Da Ren in your life and i think the best kind of love is in friends turning to lovers so thts why i highly recommend this
cute,romantic and shows how badly we need a friend..:D
