Yoo Seung Ho plays the character of Dong Baek who has telepathic by touch and Lee Se Young plays the Police Detective Han Sun Mi. I loved YSH in "I'm Not a Robot"! FINALLY! A drama without romance or a triangle love and not somebody fighting over who gets who! Too funny! This a story that is a DRAMA! I enjoyed every episode and didn't have to skip to the next one! Every episode had my focus. This is a rewatch! The main actors were true to their story and the supporting actors were great! Honestly, I didn't think it was going to end the way it did... you know that one part that you try to guess who the real criminal is and when you get to that part... IT'S LIKE "I didn't know that was coming"! DO NOT SKIP TO FIND OUT... You have to watch each episode... it's only 16 episodes so you can hold out! If you do... you will ruin the whole story for yourself. HA! Thank you, writers! I needed the suspense!

I'm giving 2gether a high mark simply because I'm a sucker for perfectly cast Main leads. I think Bright and Win carried the whole show from start to finish despite many plot flaws, unexplored characters and confusing unnecessary scenes. Once you're hooked to Bright and Win, it really doesn't matter how many weird story lines they throw in, nothing matters you'll spend each Friday night analyzing whether in real life you'll be lucky to meet your own Bright or Win. This is the power of a strong casting, the reason why the show 2gether placed Bright and Win in the center of the BL map. Of course people would argue that there should be more chemistry and intimacy between Bright and Win, and that Sarawat needs to show more emotions, but I mean, do you remember all those scenes where Bright will just stare at Win or at Pam, those are the kind of stares that will melt anyone on the spot. It's hard to distinguish who is Sarawat and who is Bright from those scenes. He's simply drop dead gorgeous. During interviews, Bright revealed that Win likes to play around the set and this is why he's Tine. There's that boyish charms and innocence really. This is his first movie. And probably knowing GMM, they will end up like Krist Perawat from Sotus to mainstream character roles. Although Krist still has the Friend.ship show in YouTube with Singto. It will be interesting to see whether they stay with this team ups or they venture with other team ups. Bright had appeared in two new music videos where he plays straight roles, this could be the preview of his next drama projects for GMM as it seems this is something that he really likes to do. As for Win, probably they will pair him up with another upcoming BL actor. But going back to my review. I think the major character that they did not develop is Green. They should have stayed with the story line that he's chasing Tine, simply because its funny and cute. And then later on, introduce Dim so Green will realize what true love is as opposed to him forcing Tine to like him. Pam should have been introduced early on, changing her story line so we can see the progression on how she learns to let go of Sarawat. As for Frank and Drake, these are My Tee main leads, I think they deserve better roles, and not just support roles plus their characters are not really important to the main plot. By removing their characters, Type and Man's story line can be further explored. Finally for the screaming girls, I can't blame them, I will even join their squad and scream right in front of Bright and Win. Probably I'll be screaming even after the director yelled "cut" and kicked me off the set.

This drama is light and easy to watch. It's a must. Highly-recommended. I'm starting to think it's too underrated. It's cliche but not in a bad way. It's not the stupid, poor female lead or the over-confident and arrogant male lead. I have a list of all c-dramas that I've watched and this drama easily made it's way up to the top. No dramatic plot where you have to pull your hair out of frustration because of the leads' stupidity. No in-law problems or money problems. It's just as if you're watching a real-life couple's day to day life.

The chemistry? On top. I'd compare the CP to Love O2O to be honest. The first two episodes will have you thinking that maybe FL is kinda stupid or naive but you can see in the future episodes how mature and forgiving she really is. There's one episode though that may get viewers shocked regarding her sudden change of character but if you actually tried to put yourself in her shoes, you'd see her point. But the good thing is, it didn't drag and it stayed on that particular episode. Music, background and even the audio itself is amazing. The details of the audio really get to me, like it feels so real.

The best thing about this drama is really the CP for me. The plot is so basic since it doesn't include all that draggy stuff but the actors and actresses brought the drama to life. And it doesn't stop on the drama. After watching the drama, I got so hooked that I watched all behindthe scenes, interviews, weibo updates and comments. I'm so hooked to the point that I created an account here after so long just to leave a review. And yes, I do recommend you to watch the behind the scenes too because they made me both sulk for being single. It was so hard to watch them in the drama and the behind the scenes without fangirling.

(A little bit of spoiler. In an interview, they were asked that if they liked someone, will they like the person secretly or will they confess. female lead (Zhang Yuxi) picked confess while male lead (Ding Yuxi YES THEY'RE BOTH YUXI THEY'RE YUXI CP) picked like the person secretly. Then I watched another interview after that hoping to find something, they talked about their first impressions and that made me go like OMG THAT'S IT DGHSGFAUHFAEUHUH. In all behind the scenes, the drama, the interviews, the cp just looked way too natural. Zhang Yuxi looks at him straight in the eyes (both drama and behind the scenes and interview) while Ding Yuxi fails to look at her properly without shying but still looks anyways (both drama and behind the scenes) AND... the skinship level no matter where is high.

Not gonna lie, I tried watching leading guy's new drama that started airing almost at the same time. But I couldn't bear to watch it. Not when this couple will haunt me. The new drama is said to be amazing and I have long placed it in my To-watch list. But I just couldn't. I have watched female lead's dramas (My Little Princess, I Cannot hug you) and I really gotta say that her characters really fit her, or should I say she brings life to her characters. But she had the best chemistry with Ding Yuxi and vice versa.

Rewatch value: 100/10. Why? Because this drama only finished the english subs for the last episode yesterday but I've already watched it over and over again. There are many dramas that are waiting for me, but I can't seem to leave this one. Since this drama has just finished subbing, I plan to rewatch everything including the behind the scenes or make recommendations for other dramas that I have watched.

Thanks and Support this drama lots please!

ALSO, THEY RELEASED A SPECIAL EPISODE WHERE THEY SWITCHED LIVES AND THEY ALSO JUST RELEASED A MUSIC VIDEO TOGETHER. INTENSE LOVE FANS ARE BEING FED WELL <3

Started so well, but then the story got lost...

I loved it so much in the beginning, but then it became a makjang. There were too many cliches and unnecessary plot points that didn't help the story forward. We were promised a second chance romance, but the romance lacked depth when we could have had such an emotional journey by the two great actors playing the main couple.

Also, as a doctor... the medical aspect of the story is ridiculous.

Still, I loved the characters and the transformation of the family. I cried and laughed a lot. This drama will stay dear to my heart, but that just infuriates me more because I feel ROBBED.

Started Good. Got Intense. Then Strange.

Honestly, there's a lot to unpack about this drama but I'm not even sure it's worth unpacking...
At the start, this drama gave me It's Okay Not to be Okay vibes except here both leads have issues (trying to avoid spoilers) and become increasingly obsessed with each other.
Then things just went off the rails. I had to cover my eyes a few times cringing “no, no, no, no!”
Interesting concept I guess and the lead parts as well as the ex-boyfriend's part were played well... there were some good kisses throughout (as well as some bad ones) but I don’t think I could rewatch.

As long as the story has thrill, i am in for it

I got off the 1st episode with great difficulty bcz it seemed like the same rich kids vs poor kid plot and rich girl falling for the poor guy but then after watching 2nd episode I was totally into the show and completed it in one go.
There were things that brought excitement into the show and kept the audience curious. I wanted to know why Jae-i broke off with Ri-an and who was blackmailing her. Although He-ra was a bitch but she was quite the character. She added the spice in the show. Kang ha, the hero of the show was kind of okay. It was typical of him to actually fell for the rich girl even thou he knew his brother’s death is linked to her. The thrill got me going till the end. Especially episode 5 and 6 were soo fire. Loved them. It wasn’t bad at all for a 7 episode show. The new faces were refreshing to watch.
I know the plot has similarities to the series ELITE but nevertheless l enjoyed the Korean version of it.

It's a drama for healing!

Main characters are all realistic and the show goes in depth about their lifes, feeling and thoughts. The side characters were also full of life, im happy we got to meet them.

Seon-gyeom (the male first lead) is not your typical male lead that comes from a rich family. While it has the typical parent problems i think the show takes an interesting and different take on it.
Mi joo (the female first lead) is maybe the best female character in kdrama land. She is just so real and has her ups and downs and she's so good. The way she's there for everyone she loves and how she takes care of herself and puts herself first when it's needed is admirable. She is just everything.

The main couple is just so healthy and their conversations are the best thing ever honestly, they fit so perfectly together. Their relationship is so calm and collected and full of love and respect that goes both ways. Dare i say that they are the healthiest relationship in drama land i have ever seen. Their honest conversations really make their relationship special.

The second couple is more complicated but yet full of banter and interesting conversations. He falls quickly but she takes her time because she doesn't understand what she feels. We can see how much Yeong Hwa matures during the drama and how Dan Ah she allows herself to have something for herself. Also still can't over the fact he gave her converse to play football in...that's such an art student thing to do. I'm happy they got their happy ending. They deserved it.

Not to mention the consistent talks about loving yourself and putting yourself first and casual and positive mentions of lgbt.

I'm glad Netflix kept recommending me the show because it stole my heart and the 1st place on my favorite kdramas.

Father-daughter relationship

So the father-daughter relationship in this movie was undoubtedly the best part of it, and I really wish we had seen more of the before-after scenes with them. These scenes were so touching that scenes with the mom honestly paled in comparison and I just didn't love her as a character at all; her subplot felt very extra and I was also just not very interested in her conversations or reactions.

What I was interested in was the reaction of the children; I was honestly expecting this movie to be a lot more depressing, with instances of the community reacting with disgust or blaming the parents, or with other students being nosy/gossipy and there being bullying. But this wasn't the case at all and the movie delivered exactly what the title promised: Hope.

That's not to say that it was all positive, as of course there was the commentary on the legal system. It was interesting but they didn't go much into it and I kind of have mixed feelings on that.

Overall, this was a pretty touching movie and I did feel emotions — but it wasn't consistent.

I highly recommend watching this masterpiece of a movie as it was the most brilliant thing I have seen in my entire life. I have not cried this much especially for a film. It left me completely speechless as I could only think that everything was real ; that's how intense everything was : the cast, the acting, the special effects, absolutely everything.
I am completely shocked that this amazing movie doesn't have a single award as it deserves oscars.
If you have a weak heart and cry very easily I suggest you prepare yourself for non-stop crying before clicking on the start button. Also if the plot doesn't seem the most appealing to you please just give it at least a try. It really is something that not everyone would like but so worth it.

So good, yet not for everyone.

I watched this drama when it came out on Netflix. And I gotta be honest I wasnt really expecting to like it as much as I did! I have never been interested in medical dramas/series and everything that comes with them; however this drama peaked my interest because of two things: i like the fact that the series revolves around a group of adult friends and because I'm a fan of Jo Jung-suk. So with those two things in mind, I gave it a chance, and i was quickly hooked. I loved everything about this drama: the plot is great, the acting is phenomenal, the characters are likeable and I think they break the mold of your typical kdrama stereotypes. I liked it that much, that this is the first kdrama that I recommend to my family and that they agreed to watch!!
My parents, brothers and I, watched it together and while my parents loved the show, my brothers thought it was boring.
This is why I think, this show is not for everyone. The pace of the show sometimes it could be very slow and it could become tedious, I personally didnt mind it that much but I noticed that my brothers were annoyed by it.
I think this show is a gem, its so different from your typical kdrama. Its serious, yet goofy at the same. It makes you laugh and cry.

a good series that could have been a GREAT.

is this a bl? yes and no. the two main characters do have a happy ending but if you're looking for a series that focuses mainly of the main relationship then i wouldn't recommend this drama. i enjoyed this series a lot because i personally love the cast but i think there could have been a lot of changes made to the storyline. i wish we could have seen a lot more from ryan and jane as they're the 'main characters' but personally it didn't really feel like they were the main characters together(?) more as, i felt like we were just watching both of their stories separately. we could have gotten a lot more from them romantically if there weren't other pointless subplots. this is one of those series that i feel needed more than 12 episodes considering how many characters and sub plots there were. overall, if you're looking for something cute and light to watch with a fun entertaining friend group and a happy ending then i recommend this series.

Rape Awareness

I really absolutely like this drama! Hu Yi Tian did a wonderful job portraying Shen Qing Juan. He was brilliant in the part he had playing a character who had a mental disorder. I applaud him. Hu Yi Tian (I love his name) stands at 6.2 ft ., wow, he had to play basketball. Looking at the height of Xing Fei who stands at 5.5 Ft., wow what a difference. Her head came to his chest. Dang, I would be a child standing next to him. Xing Fei did extremely well being almost a foot shorter than her lead actor. So cute. Xing Fei was born in Mongolia where my ancestors began, I was happy about that. This story hits home with me as a kidnap and rape survivor. I am so happy that they brought awareness of Rape to the forefront of this drama. I was a little perturbed when they did not show the outcome of a serial rapist. The visuals were perfect. I am thanking all the support actors/actresses because without them the story wouldn't be complete. oh yes, I have to see more Hu Yi Tian... he is so handsome and a brilliant actor.
