Wasted

The fact I was smart enough to drop this in 2 episodes has saved me 14 hours of my life. I don't know what happened in rest of 14 episodes but I can tell from 2 episodes...
FL seems to be successful but still can't make smart decisions and lets her subordinates act on their own and doesn't reprimand them. She is 30s but still hasn't moved on from some relationship of 20s for so many years and lets her mom control her. ML seems to be obsessed over some one night stand and constantly chases FL for what reason(??). FL's friend just immature for her age. The business-fashion vibe of drama felt shallow and preachy. I have not been a fan of SHK but I can surely tell at this point she is getting typecast as a cold careerwoman. Sometimes I felt I was watching encounter all over again. Fan of JKY but this one..meh. Music is nothing special either. Pacing was slow too.
NWABU, Not suitable for contemporary times.

Good Reason Why I Dropped This Drama!

This review does have spoilers but only for the first two episodes because I dropped it right after the end of ep 2.

I'm someone who gives benefit of the doubt for a lot of things. People tend to judge how they will like something off of face value or first impression. Sometimes, you need to give things time, whether that be a TV show, movie, people, or even clothes and certain styles, haha. I gave the same amount of benefit of doubt for this drama because 1) I love a good noona romance. It's not really a huge age gap but it's still counted as a noona romance in my book, haha. 2) It seemed to have favorable reviews from most people. 3) I needed something new to watch and binge it, haha.

A review said that the first couple of episodes were a slow burn so I went into this drama knowing that and would give it at least 5 episodes. I didn't even make it to 3 episodes and I'll tell you why.

This is where the spoilers for ONLY the first two episodes begin. No other spoilers beyond episode 2 will be written here for the obvious reason that I never made it beyond episode 2.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF FIRST TWO EPISODES:
Basic premise is ML likes FL but is antsy and a bit shy to confess it because of the dynamic that they share as senior and junior. ML is gearing up to confess up until he sees that FL actually does have a boyfriend. He's let down and considers letting her go until, the boyfriend is seen with another woman other than FL. This makes ML super bitter towards boyfriend and resolves that FL has the right to know of his two-timing ways. ML demands that FL (seriously, he DEMANDS her) meet him after work to tell her something important. FL decides to see ML to see what is so important and they are off to go see boyfriend with other woman and on the way ML confesses his feelings to her. FL sees her boyfriend with other woman and is shocked. ML says that he wanted to give FL the chance or choice to stand up for herself against her boyfriend and the truth that was revealed to her. He tries to explain further but she is upset that he interfered in her personal life. (Bish, I would be upset too!!) ML is told by sister that he needs to wait for FL now to make her own decision but of course, ML is too antsy and tries to approach FL several times despite knowing that she may be going through a difficult time and was told by FL to literally "F" off. Then we come to episode 2 ending and FL comes to ML and asks him what that choice is. Basically, she wants to get revenge over boyfriend. ML then proposes that they date each other.

My MAIN REASON why I dropped this show after two episodes is because this ML is just so freakin pushy, his actions were a little selfish, and tendency to be inconsiderate until the last minute or when it's too late. I just can't. He doesn't like how FL treats him like a kid but then does childish things. The boyfriend works at the same company as ML and FL. So when ML found out about boyfriend's other woman, he DID NOT make any effort to conceal his anger or spite towards him and was very disrespectful towards his superior in the office in front of others. That is just not wise or professional. Then he DEMANDS FL to follow him somewhere which is really rude. If you can't contain your emotions then you need to take a step back, get calm and think through it again. And last but not least, I was most upset about him thinking that revealing the truth to the FL was somehow a good thing. I understand that maybe he had good intentions for doing it but it was NOT RIGHT for him to interfere in her life like that. And then at the end of episode two, says they should DATE EACH OTHER?!?! To get revenge against boyfriend?!?! Flippin A!! NO!

I think a lot of people misunderstand, just because someone has good intentions for doing something wrong doesn't erase the fact that it was wrong to do in the first place. Good intentions don't sustain a relationship, actions do! And actions like that will never sustain a HEALTHY relationship for long. I'm just really disappointed in how the ML was created and represented here. It could have been a really good slice of life/romance drama too. I have a guilty pleasure of enjoying dramas that do that have some cliche factors to them but this drama pushed it a little too hard with the stereotype character flaws and plot cliches and is just too much for me to overlook.

I've been watching plently of survival show, and after the success of Queendom we finally have Road to Kingdom.

Road to Kingdom” is the spin-off from the popular competition program “Queendom” last year. The show features seven boy groups—PENTAGON, ONF, Golden Child, The Boyz, VERIVERY, ONEUS, and TOO—who will compete against each other in missions every week.

Every year, K-pop fans look forward to the end-of-the-year awards ceremonies, which features special performances from their favorite idols as well as unexpected interactions between groups. “Road to Kingdom” has reportedly spared no expense in order to rival those ceremonies in scale, with contestants directly participating in brainstorming sessions for songs and concepts.

The performances will feature not just singing and dancing but also acrobatics and amazing stage props that aren’t ordinarily seen on music show broadcasts. The production staff also worked hard to prepare diverse stage set-ups and appropriate stage direction in order to showcase each vocalization, choreography, and facial expression.

Apart from the competition aspect, “Road to Kingdom” will be an opportunity to discover new faces and new talents. There are many chances for groups to interact and react to each other’s performances and for idols to show off their natural humor and wit. People are also looking forward to the chemistry between MCs Lee Da Hee and Jang Sung Kyu, who had great success with the previous season on “Queendom.”

Solid half light drama!

Hmmm my feelings towards this drama...

I think the cast is actually amazing. There some actors that I wouldn't imagine playing this kind of light funny characters as they usually play these heavy bad guy roles. But the show started out pretty slow, it felt like it was a drag. But as the male lead and female lead meets, that's when it starts getting good, I'd say it starts getting good at around half through episode one.

In this drama, I have a hunch that this drama is going to teach us about the hardship we face but we must go on. Because although we lose things, we also gain new things and new experiences. We may struggle to adjust ourselves in environment but if we show kindness and perseverance, we will be able get along with anything. Although, I have another hunch that this will have some aspects of darkness to the story later in the episodes.

I'd say if you want a half light funny drama about overcoming things, this is for you.

Can't wait!

From the start of the episode, I can definitely say that their chemistry is in the air. Their acting is very professional and so far, it has a great impact on the first episode. I can't wait for the next episodes, I am definitely attached to the characters already. For the Cons naman, It kinda lacked realness, like I know BL doesn't strive like that, but for me, it really does. It kinda has an overtone that kinda rubs me the wrong way, like the plot is all great but, it's going fast. With only 8 episodes only, it seems everything will get rushed, the chemistry is most likely rushed too. Well anyways, Good Luck watching towards everyone ^^!

I am distrubed

Ok, I admit that cruel things happen in this world, many times committed by people. I was watching the 1st episode of this seeing if I could get a feeling for the autism spectrum FL. There was a cat hit and badly hurt. She goes and looks at the ca, see's that it's suffering and still looks. By the time she decides to do 'help' the cat, you're lead to believe she's taking it to the vet, even more time passes. She even stops to look at her pc. There's a hurt and yowling in pain cat, laying in the gutter and she's d***ing around. When she gets back to the cat, she covers it in hand towels like a shroud. I thinking she's covering it up cause she finds it offensive. She then pulls out a utility knife...then you see her physically struggle using it....

I was shocked and horrified; it made me sick. That was it, couldn't watch anymore. Then before I could turn it off, she said she killed a cat. I was thru. I know animals are put down every day, but this! She asked the person on the phone what should she do and they said take it to the vet. She was so emotionless, ice cold and her face devoid of any emotion except did I get the blade long enough? No pity, no sorrow, total void of human caring. I couldn't take it and turned it off.

Cringy boring cry fest

I dropped this like a hot rotten potato. It was just super boring and very cringy. I was going to rip out all of my hair and probably my eyeballs if Pharm cried one more time trauma or not, so the best solution for me was to drop this.
You are suffering from “severe trauma” but instead of you to go to therapy and see a psychologist, you don’t, then what do you do, you cry and cry and cry incessantly, every f*cking ep. The tears were beyond ridiculous I stopped caring and didn’t give 2 f*cks how he and Dean turned out, hence the drop.
Dropped this so obviously the rewatch value is Zero but since that’s not an option 1/10 it is.
Overall is 1/10 also.
I definitely DO NOT recommend this cringy boring cry fest dubbed a series.

ENOUGH is ENOUGH

Okay.... I get it now

Secret crush on you is actually a nice series.. I must say i really love the scenery of the school and Oh my god! The uniforms are cute.. Now speaking of cute Nuea is so cute, hot and actually a good actor, i hope he get another bl soon. Now to Toh?umm... I'm not trying to discriminate or anything but i kinda have problems about him

Why does he smile like that, he shouldn't do that, it makes him look creepy, weird and not cute
I won't say he shouldn't have been casted to be the main role buuuuut it tempting, to be honest, I've kinda had the thought that jao should have been Toh and Toh to be Jao. The series would have been great and good to rewatch. It just Toh that putting everyone off, I KNOW THAT WHAT EVERYONE IS THINKING ????

Sea of laughter

Island Trio is by far one of my favorite variety shows. It is impossible not to laugh whenever these three people are together! Their chemistry is awesome and I don't think I'll ever have enough of it. Seriously, Hodong & Yonghwa can never go wrong. Ever since they got closer during their "Let's Eat Dinner Together" shoot, they have gotten along extremely well. It's a shame so little of the show was subtitled :(

As an avid travel variety show enjoyer (and CNBLUE fan), it's no surprise I fell in love with this show immediately!! They travel around various different Islands & get to experience the lifestyle of islanders while hanging out with locals. Everyone is super wholesome and sweet. The guests on this show were also really well selected, especially Tae Hangho. They all adored him and he was such a perfect addition to the trio. Definetely the most memorable guest for me ^^

First episode is so so, but second episode so good and soooo funny. Lee Jaewook is so handsome. You got rich guy disguising as a poor man lead, cinderella (kind of female lead), tsundere male lead (cold but heart warming guy). It’s that type of korean drama that makes you want to be the female lead lollll. Although the first episode is kind of doesn’t make sense and confusing but the second episode is good.... seriously rooting for this kdrama

An Entertaining Ride, Don't Miss It!!

We all have that one annoying friend, whom we want to beat up, and yet they are the ones who understand us the most!

“Love Next Door” is nostalgic, I was reminded of my childhood friends as I watched the first two episodes. Starring Jung Hae In, Jung So Min, Kim Ji Eun, Yun Ji On in lead roles, the drama showcases strong bonds of friendship, as our main leads navigate the complexities of their present lives. Humor has a strong foothold in this show, I wasn’t expecting it to be so hilarious and heartwarming. The dulcet tones coupled with the warm vibes between the leads gives a flavorful taste to this romcom. And I’m not just talking about the friendship between the younger generation; the show also banks on the friendships between the older generation. They are competitive, arrogant and yet, they have always stood beside each other while supporting their children’s dreams. Their seemingly perfect lives takes a nosedive when our female lead, Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min) returns home after quitting her high power job abroad and canceling her engagement. Her mother is appropriately horrified while childhood friend, Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In) is terrified. Circumstantial evidence points to the fact that Seok Ryu has always been a terrifying presence in Seung Hyo’s life and yet against all odds, he stands beside her as she begins her new innings in life. But where does this new innings lead to?

I only watched the first two episodes...

I only watched the first two episodes and I can't watch any more because they bored me so much. This drama with these actors and the idea for the story had a lot of potential, but it's still bad. The idea of ​​revenge by seduction is boring, there is nothing special about it and dragging it through most / the entire series is overkill even if the final revenge will be different. Some scenes I've seen gave me makjang vibes which made me stop watching this drama immediately. It's a pity that this drama has many elements that I don't like because it was promising and I had high expectations for it. However, I think that it's not worth wasting time on it.
