DOTS VS YRMH

For all the users who have watched DOTS and want to know abt YAMH.
This is my honest review.
If you don't want to read the whole thing read the last line.

Differences
DOTS is abt a military man doing very highly dangerous worldwide missions. While YAMH is abt a high level police officer doing a few local dangerous jobs and mainly conducts training.

In DOTS the main lead is a funny guy who is serious abt his work and protecting people and never ever goes against his ethics of always protecting citizens first. In YAMH the guy is a cold guy who gets swayed by the girl and situations and I felt that he wasn't serious about never harming citizens.

Also in DOTS he asks the doctor to save a criminal just because he is a patient and a doctors job is to save while in YAMH there is scene where he asks why the doctors is saving the criminal.

Ik all these were negatives but there is one thing I liked is that the way they meet in YAMH is interesting.

There are many more differences but these were my major decision making factors sooo.

Anyway I have seen DOTS and after watching YAMH's 7 episodes I am bored with it so I really don't recommend it.

I really liked the actors, storyline and music; however, the lighting and makeup were often distracting. As much as I’m an action junky without a story, I’m gone. This drama was unique in that I enjoyed every character. I even found myself rooting for most of the other teams not to lose too badly.

The weakest part of the drama was the look. Most of the actors have unusual proportions already - tall, skinny with large heads. Peng Yu Chang, being the one exception to the proportion difficulties, was given horrible hair. But, something really needs to be done about the white faces with either red necks or tanned bodies. I notice this a lot especially in Chinese dramas. I think it was so bad in this because of all the outdoor shots.

I’ sure I’ll watch it again. If only to see the tennis matches.

so fun and stupid and lovely

I love this show. It's very entertaining and the characters are extremely well thought out and developed from the jump which is nice.

I am a Latte appreciater bc he reminds me the most of friends of mine and also shows the most heart in the world.

Also one of those shows where I like the dynamics so much that I don't have a definitive end game couple in mind, and that's rare in bls.

Probably my favourite parts are how sitcomy it is which makes the characters very lovable but not stuck into one role and how sex positive it is.

This feels very unique and fresh in the thai bl space and I absolutely love this take on things. Especially the very natural weaving of different sexualities and crushes without unnecessary angst about it. This is what queer shows should be (but I still love the classic bls for what they are as well).

Lastly, peak's endless bi-panic is the highlight for me.

Extraordinary tale of ordinary people!

I just can't express my feelings. I knew I would love it. Not just loved it, I literally consumed the first episode.

The opening scene scored on my heart. The Ballet performance was just breathtaking, for a non-dancer, he nailed every moment. You know Ballet needs momentum after fast movements, you must end each step and gesture in a slow motion and smoothly. And I specially paid attention to that and he hit all the moments rights. true hard work spoke there.

Regarding the plot, without revealing much, it is pretty much what is said in the synopsis of this page. The rawness this series holds, has a unique attraction to its audience. It can be your typical Korean drama, where usual tragic life, bitter and hurt Lee Chae Rok, trying his best to fight against all odds, and it can be very unique drama where hopes and dreams are born every minute. The Haraabuji, family is as toxic as the Chae Rok life is, the writer wrote the characters, keeping their connection alike while making their age gap 50 years apart.

This is very clear, that the Chae Rok is a reflection of Haraabuji and Harabuji past live is Chae Rok I love how they are mirror to each-other. I was captivated from the first scene to last, even though nothing much happened, but for a drama like this, it is perfect, like no mistake at all.

The friendship that is going to develop between them is going to heal their wounds, is going to make them achieve their dreams. Chae Rok is going to grow and will learn to how to dance on life. The gift that Haraabuji is going to give him, is larger than life. I just can't wait to see the rest fo drama.

It gives me the vibe of Do You Like Brahms, and also feels very similar to Light In Your Eyes and Goodbye My Friends. I watched this series with puppy eyes, in coming episodes, we are going to cry as people will try their best to crush their dreams, but one thing is for sure, Haraabuji is a gift for Chae Rok, he will know when time is gonna come.

A must watch series for the healing of your heart.

Absolute Perfection

Now... there is only one episode but I‘d say that this is definitely one of gmmtv’s best bls. I have quite a few reasons for why. ((Excuse my bad grammar))

THINGS I LIKE/ENJOY
1. SOUNDTRACK || music choices are absolute perfection. They’re calming, fun, and just enjoyable to listen to.
2. CHARACTERS || Absolutely hilarious, they’re all chaotic and embarrassing (in a good way) they make it a really enjoy able watch.
3. ACTING//ACTORS || Mwah, chefs kiss. I love all the main cast Jimmy, Sea, Ohm, and Nanon. All of them have absolutely stunning visuals (especially Jimmy lol)
4. STORYLINE (this is where I’m a bit “biased”) || I absolutely adore switching bodies//body transmittion ,or whatever it’s called, books/shows. They’re cute, help characters understand each other, and are always chaotic. Making this (in my opinion) one of the best storylines//genres to exist.

THINGS I DONT LIKE//HATE (continuation of being biased lmao)
1. “CONFUSING” || The show itself does indeed explain why/what happens. Not how it happens though (it’s only the first episode so keep that in mind) Maybe the show might be able to give a deeper explanation that would be great. There are so many people that have said it’s confusing to the point where I’ve lost count. And yes I understand they’re being introduced to a new show that might have a different plot then what they’re used to.
2. PEOPLE THAT HATE THE SHOW BECAUSE ITS “CONFUSING” || now, I have seen soooo many kinnporsche “fans” complain about this show cause it so called “confusing” which I understand of course, some people need some time to learn about show’s plots and stuff -which is 100% okay- HOWEVER, here’s the catch. Most of them are 27-30yr old white women that fetishize mlm relationships. And they don’t like it because they don’t fck in the first episode or just because the actors are apparently “ugl”.. yes I have seen them say this on tiktok and other platforms so pls don’t come at me. People may have their own preference for things but please DO NOT bring your preferences into these shows just because they don’t have exactly what you want, plots, visuals, and everything else.

EXPLAINING THE STORY LINE FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND (ALTERNATE UNIVERSE)
Talay (Sea’s character) is a colourist - someone who adjusts colours for films - goes to a beach one day with his friends to celebrate, and ends up passing away. A while later he ends up waking up in a alternate universe and in a different person’s body, Tess (Ohm’s character) He is overly confused and doesn’t realize what happened when he happens to run into a nurse that tries to help him. She explains that to Talay that the only way he can get back is by finding his portkey. And there Talay goes to find his portkey while trying to understand Tess’s//alternate universe. (Hopefully this makes sense and that my grammar isn’t too bad)

- thanks for listing to my mini rant about this show lmfao, have a nice day//night :D

cut the non sens already!

everybody say "if you cannot accept a relationship between a robot and a human, don't watch this". but I do accept it, I loved the drama "zettai kareshi (my absolute boyfriend)", and my heart broke at the end. so, no, the robot isn't the problem! the problem is the incredible amount of non sens you come across when watching this! I just watched 4 episodes, so my spoilers won't ruin your drama, let's talk about it.

at the airport when real Shin discovered that she was filming him, he took the camera and smashed it. this is how rich people deal with everything touching their intimacy and safety. it's not like his secretary doesn't know how to deal with threatening people. and yet:

she was a traitor once, and yet they let her come back as a body guard. they could have lied in front of the cameras and just give her an envelope and a fair good bye! but here she is, a traitor inside their home!
she put a camera inside his bedroom, and he didn't notice anything even when as a robot he connected himself to all the connected toys in his room. like really?
they caught her several times in awkward situations and she got away with it by pretending she was on the phone: which rich (and paranoid) guy would accept it without tearing the phone out of her hands to check the truth with his own eyes? as I said, they are rich people and they do that all the time, so why not here?
Shin is in the OR, and the bad guy enters the OR like it's his home. and what did he got? "listen, next time you behave like a bad guy, I will tell papa!" WHAT? you tell papa now! you get the man fired! you get the chairman to know that this man is threatening his grand-child!
how is it believable that rich people behave like coward puppies?

let's talk about this so wonderful FL now! she lies, like all the time. she has no integrity: Shin saved her life and she was still planning to betray him. on one hand she is like "oh! my heart is pounding so much!" and on the other hand she tails him, put cameras in his room and lie to him right before his eyes... I don't even know what to think about her behavior. there is no coherence.

nothing is understandable in this drama. I really cannot put up with more non sens than that, so I just dropped. I agree that robot-human story is something hard to get, but the problem is, that's not the hardest thing to get here.

Good acting and Love this couple SO much

this drama is very good and i really like jujingyi and Joseph's acting is very good but disappointed with the writer and director why many scenes of the main character were cut and and very different from the novels i read why so many bullies and unimportant characters in this drama should conflict from the middle and why does it have to be at the end of an episode like this, there are only 2 episodes left hopefully everything goes well and I really like jujingyi and joseph even Joseph's acting is amazing dy can really deepen the role, this drama is really romantic and simple jjy and Joseph are a very harmonious couple and suitable..hope can see this cp back again in new drama

Messy Romance Alert

Don't watch if you don't like love triangles, confusing romance, or romance-driven stories. This drama indeed has all of the above. The majority of the plot is focused on the two male leads tugging at the woman between them, and everything is set up so that the annoying tug-of-war lasts as long as possible. It's not uninteresting, but these types of stories require a more romantic soul to enjoy them, I suppose. Somebody with a lot more patience, who can watch the female lead running from one man's arms into the embrace of the other, while both of the male leads proclaim to anybody who'd listen their desire to "protect her".
I watched it mainly to drool over Lee Soo Hyuk, but even that wasn't enough in the end.

beautiful sweet colors ! fairytale )

This is an amazing fairy tale! I like it!)) pink trees and turquoise water.. Wonderful!! (reminds me of tropical islands haha) such colors evoke a warm fantasy with tender feelings)) very interesting, very casual, how they made the garden and in such warm pastel colors! This is something new. I liked the first trailer I saw, so I started watching it, and it's very interesting) to mix wuxia fantasy love story with martial arts elements. (As always, the Chinese are great at this!!)
The story was about a little girl, Chong Zi, who is alone in this world, without parents and she trying to find a good life with her only one friend. Every day, life throws up new difficulties for her.
Chong Zi was bullied by other poor people on the street (because she had no money and was poor that she couldn't even eat), they called her ugly .. and her great desire was to come to Nahua and become an immortal master, so one day when her friend Shui Ji shared piece of luck cake, with Chong Zi , she fortunately got a chance to enter the palace and gave a promise , if she enetering fortunally there , she will always protect her friend!
Her friend Shui Ji believed that this cake could bring very great luck to win and get into the Nahua palace on the mysterious mountain.
One day ( before got a chance to enter in the palace ) Chiong Zi she was saved by a Yingfan master from the god clan after seeing a group of guys abuse and beat her, and he shared his energy with her so that no one else could hurt her in the future..
when the day of selection of students in Nahua came, Chongzi met the prince Qin Ke and princess Si Ma Mia Yuan , on the way to the palace, later helps them pass the obstacles and saves the princess from the tiger..
when everyone got to the palace and the selection of students for the masters, began, the main leader did not want Chong Zi to stay (fearing that her demonic energy would only destroy her and bring misfortune to the palace), but then the YinFan intervened , who saved her once, decides to make her his own student , noticing the potential and ambitions in her ..
For a while, Master Yinfan did not give her magic weapons long time , fearing that she would not be able to control her profound demonic power, and the weapon would only aggravate her situation, so that she could harm herself and those around her. But when the demon Chu Bu Fu attacked her while he was near the room she ( Chong Zi ) was in and she was injured, Yinfan thought about giving her a magic weapon for self-defense.
When she recovered, she asked about the magic weapon to protect herself, so the master entered with her in special palace with magic weapons , Yin Fan chose for her a magic staff made of steel, which was difficult to forge a sword.
I think that here Chongzi started to have feelings for the master, but it’s too early to talk about it, because am only in 6 episode))

It's a little meh

The premise of the story is based off the cliche saying "my heart only beats for you." It a really subpar story line since it's not much comedy nor much chemistry going on between the two lead characters. The problem isn't the acting, it's the script, it uses the most cliche cliche but it couldn't execute in the best possible way. I can see why it would be an interesting story but it's concerning on how it escalates very quickly then becomes slightly boring after that escalation.

The male lead plays a cool and handsome character in the first episode then an episode later he becomes the complete opposite fitting that little puppy stereotype in romance comedies. I hope to see a better character development and would prefer it if the comedic parts aren't so forced.

Waiting for it to get better honestly

The premise sounded funny yet the delivery falls short so far. There's nothing funny, nothing different about the story —I know it doesn't even need to be, but the way it is presented like it expects the audience to laugh at the funi.

The acting of the leads are average at best, and since there aren't any side characters that really affects the storyline in a challenging way, it only underlines the two leads' lack of chemistry.

I will keep watching to see where it will be going but I don't have a lot of hope for this series. If you do not go expecting too much, maybe it will be a quick short watch for those who enjoy an easy story.

This is my first time writing a review. This story actually got me shooked! When I first watched this I kinda thought at first "Ooh it kinda gives that 'Missing You' vibes" but I was wrong. Seriously after I watched those 2 first episodes. It gives me chills every night and I even got nightmares about that. The acting was really accurate. The expressions and all, they give you the vibe that you're actually there. Experiencing what they're experiencing even though you're just watching it. Nam Da Reum and Ryu Han Bi did a good job on acting! I would love them to see together on another project as the Main Leads, they make a perfect match. Also, I seriously would recommend this drama.
