Did I accidentally switch to Chinese Disney Channel? Lmaooo what even was this cheesy one-dimensional mess of a show? Cliches GALORE, it was like a paint-by-numbers teen rom-com- The female lead disguised as a nerd (glasses, freckles, hair, clothes, she’s covered it all)
- The guy is the most handsome guy in school (apparently), they even call him ‘your highness’. To top it all off, he is an idol singer too
- The 3 popular mean girls
- The 2 dumb minions of the ‘bully’
- Is this even university, it feels more like high school
Lol is this what all web dramas are like?
But god it bugged me so much she just kept her nerd look? Like, why? Because her bf didn't like her attracting attention??? Bro you are an IDOL SINGER
Anyways, I could not stand this drama. I had to push myself SO hard to watch it. The 20 minute episodes felt like an hour.
But the biggest WTF in this trash (spoiler!!!!)
was the ‘mean girl’ turned straight up psychotic and tried to kill herself because the boy she had a crush on found a girlfriend????? She literally FORCED him to be with her (and marry her??? within 2 days??) otherwise she would commit suicide. What the actual f*ck.
Then she finds love with the pink haired gay guy??? What even WAS this show

Probably what I loved the most about this film is that nothing really extraordinary happens, nothing extremely dramatic, unexpected or overwhelming; the film is not trying to capture your attention by doing anything movie- hollywood- like with the story (if you know what I mean)... What I'm trying to say is that this is just real life, to be more accurate the life of only one person displayed on the screen and is not a crazy, exciting, or amazing life. Yoon's life is nothing else but ordinary and (in my case) very relatable.
The plot is simple, the focus is not romance and the center of the story is Yoon and his thoughts. Even the way the movie was filmed was simple, it felt like there was someone just holding a camera and filming Yoon daily, not an entire production team living inside of Yoon's apartment. In spite of that it never felt mediocre or low budget, no, not at all.
I think the acting was really good, the actor who played Yoon succeed at portraying this typical young man that struggles to balance work, and life.
I will probably rewatch this soon, this is the kind of films that I like the most, Easy to watch but still really good, with great quality,and with a script that feels like reading a book; that's why I gave this a perfect rate.

The only real complaint I have with this drama is the music got a bit repetive, but otherwise I loved this drama through and through. This is a must watch drama and I highly recommend it.

The actors/actresses all did a WONDERFUL job and the actor who played the main radio host was perfect for his character. I loved the cinematography and the many scenes where you viewed above the city during day and night were gorgeous. I really enjoyed the music composed for this film and every track fit each scene wonderfully.
The film does really well with showing you the struggles and personalities of all the characters involved and was more realistic with outcome. It's less of a rom-com that feeds you an unoriginal fairy tale romance and more of a modern day take on the ups & downs of the relationships you experience in life.
It was funny.
It was lovely.
It was quirky.
It was heartbreaking.
And it shows you that sometimes things work out, while other times they don't.
I wasn't bored once.
(Also, Yang Yang is adoooraaaable)
GOOD MOVIE!

2026 Most creative Drama
Refreshing story line meets perfect casting = me binging through 18 episodes in 2 days.This drama is the perfect way to "decompress from the real world" especially if you've ever lived through a 9‑9‑6 type of grind.
The characters are all great, even the minor ones, each with their own distinct personality.
Beyond the quirky humor, the show delivers real emotional depth and sheds light on the everyday struggles of modern salaried workers.
Casting is perfect. There are so many seasoned comedic actors.
I can't say the ending was truly satisfying. I wished for more happiness but overall a great watch!
Mikah's song "Shadows Dancing" as ending song is just icing on the cake!

the most gorgeous show i've ever seen
i seriously almost didnt watch this show bc the whole thing with the heart kinda freaked me out and for some reason i thought it would be like... torfun's feelings for phupha or something but lmao i was very wrong. this show... was so worth waiting for. first of all, the ost is absolutely gorgeous. i fell for the soundtrack, and i usually never really pay much attention to soundtracks on bls but this one... whew.this show is genuinely gorgous and is probably the best bl ive ever seen. a tale of thousand stars is practically perfect. i mean, of course there are little aspects people may pick out but i seriously think it was amazing. and omg the ending!! *sobs violently* (in a good way)
but my point of writing this is that you need to watch it. this show had practically everything i already loved and sm more.

Bai Lu’s Xi LiangChen is very endearing, so very much more so than she was in Legends. Being a woman who has gone through boot camp myself, I could certainly relate to this character, even if we don’t have to pretend to be boys. She expresses the difficulty, determination, and feeling of accomplishment very well.
Xu Kai was perfect for Gu YanZhen. I can imagine his career skyrocketed after this. He was able to go from playboy jerk to valiant young man without ever once annoying me. Which is rare. Is he ever not adorable? Ok that may be annoying just a little bit.
The chemistry between the main leads is uh-may-zing. Like, so crazy intense that you just watch kind of hypnotized by it like a snake with the charmer’s weaving. I think my eyes may have gotten dry from not blinking when those two would start up. And it makes you laugh so hard at times during this show while they’re working their relationship out. Brilliant writing there.
It was really Toby Lee that had me cheering for him though. It may be my tendency to root for the underdog or my preference for the still-water-that-runs-deep personality, but he was the quietly complex and noble Shen Junshan in in a way that had me looking forward to seeing him every time.
The supporting cast was spectacular. IT was SO SO NICE to see Hong Yao play a good person. I’m so used to seeing him in villain roles that I was already cringing to see what he was going to do this time, and I have to admit it made me enjoy his Shen TingBai just a little bit more when I came to realize that hey, he’s pretty freaking amazing. To the point where I wanted to poke Wu Jiayi’s otherwise fun ManTing in the head for the way she treated him. Why do we as girls perpetually go after the ones we shouldn’t and develop blinders to the ones we should be seeing? At any rate he was kind of my hero as well in this. Which is probably going to really mess with my head the next time I see him as a bad guy. Le sigh.
I will say that I absolutely was beguiled by the under-story of Guo ShuTing and Huo XiaoYu. It added complexity to the show that couldn’t have been achieved if it had revolved entirely around the younger set. Both actors did amazingly in their roles as well.
There were some silly parts- that crazy and slightly weird fireworks party that YanZhen threw for LiangChen that had me cringing a bit. But…. That everyone there just rolled their eyes instead of instantly manning an anti-gay revolt was refreshing. Yay.
Overall it wasn’t profoundly deep or anything but it was fun, engaging, at times riveting, and definitely something I would watch again in the future. The OST was pretty good too, and suited the drama well. Watch it.

I was drawn to this drama because somehow it is like watching a long movie with a nice going “poetry feel” to it. There are no villains and scheming plots, just passionate characters put into situations wherein they have had to make difficult choices and therefore go through one consequence after another.
It was hard not to empathize with each of the main characters because they were very well molded and also played well by the actors/actresses. I find that their actions and reactions to the circumstances are well justified by their characters. Although some have gone to the extremes, I still think they are within reason as they were moved by overwhelming emotions.
Jeong Ryewon is such a great actress here, the cute scenes were cute and the emotionally pulling scenes were solid. Oh Jiho’s crying parts though not yet his best in this drama weren't as bad as to ruin one's viewing pleasure.. (perhaps his good looks is enough compensation =))
I hope more viewers take time to watch this drama. I’m writing this review after a second re-watch. If you are up to some seriously thought provoking moments on love, this drama is sure worth your time immersing in.

So at first, you're presented to a homemade film of two homosexual lovers spending their day at a motel for their fifth anniversary. Honestly, I didn't expect it to be much or make me feel as emotional as I felt by the end of the video. It got me smiling and laughing with them then crying with them.
The acting was great. I was really impressed. The way the movie was filmed and the actors' acting skills made it look so authentic and realistic it just makes you easily sucked into the story and the emotions that are conveyed through the script. It felt as if someone took a camera and filmed one day in their lives, not a movie.
There were some a bit of graphic scenes but it wasn't overdone -- overall it was balanced without showing too much sexual content which I found more suiting to the film than anything else. Nothing major though, didn't bother the movie.
Finally, I recommend everyone who doesn't mind homosexual romance to watch this. You'll absolutely enjoy it!

A small act of kindness (in the form of a cup of coffee) CAN make a difference
"Would You Like a Cup of Coffee?" is a very heartwarming and thoughtful drama centred around Kang Go-bi (played by Ong Seong-wu), a highly-motivated young man who welcomes change and Park Seok (played by Park Ho-san), the selfless owner of '2Dae Coffee' who's not so accustomed to change having run his quaint coffee shop alone for over 20 years.Despite Park Seok's unfamiliarity with change, he gives customers of any background a warm welcome and aims to bring positive change into their lives with a humble cup of coffee and an open mind as his medium. Kang Go-bi is similarly inclined and, although some customers may intially hit a nerve causing Go-bi to become short-tempered, he has similar goals to the coffee shop owner and wishes to change peoples' lives for the better with '2Dae Coffee's magic formula.
Though the plot may not be extremely engaging or have you on the edge of your seat, it's a nice watch to wind down after a long day and carries the important message of 'a small act of kindness can make a difference'. Overall, a very feel-good miniseries with a relaxing atmosphere and a good message to take away.

The most calming and most wholesome rendition
First and foremost, I would like to state, that as of writing this, I have seen the original American production (seasons one and two [season two has yet to finish]) as well as the Brazilian one, so I definitely had more than an idea of what I was getting into. However, I did not expect it to be, like my title states, the most calming and most wholesome rendition, as the other two are, for lack of a better description, dumpster fire that you can't stay away from.Of the three countries, the Japanese Love is Blind had the least drama and the least amount of overdramatic edits, and what I mean by edits is that scenes aren't unnecessarily dragged out to keep you on your toes. For example, in both the US and Brazilian versions, the couples reveal is dragged into the next episode, whereas with Japan's, every couple that was set to be revealed was revealed one by one near the end of the time in the pods, and pretty quickly as well despite it still leading into the next episode. Even when there was drama (let's face it, part of this is real life so there is definitely going to be real life issues between the couples) to be had, it wasn't edited to make one side nor the other look bad, and we got as close to both sides of the story as possible and it was resolved for the most part.
However, the one thing I will say, is that this season does give a lot of false hope. More than five couples walk out engaged in the pods, and yet only two end up actually saying their nuptials (their "I dos"). Two couples in particular ended up all the way at the end to walk out on each other.
Other than that, I did enjoy the little life update from most, if not all of the contestants, including, of course, the two couples who made it more than past the alter. Of the couples who ended up together, I loved seeing Midori and Wataru's story develop, but, I personally loved Ryotaro and Motomi's story and I absolutely loved her metamorphosis, as her sense of style (her way of dressing) has changed to match Ryotaro's (and in a good and cute way). Though both couples shined extremely radiant and I do hope they continue their journey in this crazy thing we call life.
Alhough I'm dissapointed that the couples I were rooting for didn't work out, you can never predict what will happen in life, and you can't force happiness.
I am definitely hoping forward to another season, or multiple rather, of Love is Blind Japan.

Wanna see kisses every episode?! ?
This was actually really lovely, usually I keep an open mind with the short length series I watch, and watch it for what it is. This one i avtuallt wish it was longer, I'd watch a 30 mins per episode of this, but it may ruin it and get all draggy 😄... so I'll be content.I loved, loved, loved their chemistry and boy did they did it with kisses 😄... every episode and they were those good ones too, no fish, no awkwardness. The couple just looked so great together, I'd watch another show with the together.
If you want something with a nice and interesting story, and a cute romance with tons of chemistry, and kisses... thats also short and not draggy, then gove this one a try.

Ok, so this drama hasn't even finished airing yet, but I feel like if I don't write a review now I'll just forget to do it later, so here is my opinion on 'Sweet Revenge 2'. c:Story/Plot:
The storyline of this drama is incredibly similar to the prequel (Sweet Revenge) and is all about a girl (Oh Ji Na) who is given a magical app on her phone which gives her the opportunity to seek revenge on whoever she wishes. When my friend told me about this, I generally thought this would be some basic-ass show with a way-too-fluffy plot, however, after watching most of it, my opinion from when I first heard about it has changed. Yes, it is a light, warm-feeling kind of show that is there to make you go 'aww', but there are some elements of serious issues mixed alongside some cute humour, you could say? Obviously I'm not saying it's, like, THE MOST MEANINGFUL THING YOU'LL WATCH, but it does include problems such as bullying, fake identity, plastic surgery etc. which I think blended really well with the drama.
Overall, I give the story 7/10.
Acting/Cast:
OMG the casting in this was one of my favorites, as you have a handful of aspiring actors (who mainly range from 13-16) that were casted for this drama, and did such a good job! I mean, obviously, it isn't going to be perfect, as I did notice scenes here and there where the characters weren't connecting with eachother as well as they could of done, but if you were 14 and had to act romantic and shit, it must be really awkward... But every actor in this show I feel tried they're best so, props to them (especially Samuel omg you are tHe bEsT)
Overall, I give the acting 7.5/10
Music:
There's not much to say about the soundtracks - there was dramatic music when there was a dramatic scene, there was sad music when there was a sad event, and that's really it. The music wasn't bad, but it was nothing too memorable.
Overall, I give the music 5/10
Rewatch Value:
I feel like I would probably watch this again when I'm bored and have nothing to watch, or if I was hanging out with friends, as I think it's a light-hearted series to watch with others if other dramas are getting too heavy for you (*cough cough* Scarlet Heart)
Overall, I give the rewatch value 7.5/10
This series is a cute little package with romance, fantasy and friendships. If you're looking for something heavy, DO NOT WATCH THIS. However, if you're looking for a small break, this is the show for you ;)))
Overall rating: 7.5/10
Enjoy watching!
P.S This is my first review, so I hope it was good enough lmao c:
