One of the Best BL
I almost waited for this BL for more than a year and finally, I am sad that today is the last episode.It's the best BL I ever watched. First I started this for Earth but Mix's acting skill blow me away. Because of his acting skill, you can feel it more and more into it. I like the fact that this is not related to any college love story as is a completely different story altogether. I really don't want to make any spoiler here but it's definitely worth watching this series and will recommend this too.

If you're expecting "Oh look! A zombie! KILL IT! OMNOMNOM" for an hour and a half then this may not be your cup of tea.
This film is a collection of different stories ranging from the beginning of the "infection" to the world after a cure is found and zombies have had the effects reversed.
It's very different from your traditional zombie movie in a sense that it doesn't just focus on the mindless beasts that eat everything and the buff guys that appear to shoot them - it focuses on the relationships, the philosophical and ethical aspects of zombiedom and post zombiedom.
A few things could've been developed a bit more, but overall it was a very satisfying watch.

There was nothing that took you by surprise so I don't think it's re watch value is very high. That said I really enjoyed it while it lasted.
The episodes only last 15mins as it is a Web drama and there are only 8 of them. So if you are looking for a filler while you wait for your hair dye to take, or if you are sat waiting for the bus then this is the drama for you.
Happy Viewing

By the way,i also plan to watch the 2008 version of "Ngao Asoke" starring Pong and Peung and will probably skip the 2016 version starring Sean and Eshter,not many people enjoyed it as much.
Ekarat Sarasuk plays as the good-natured and noble rich heir Monthai who thinks that his heroine the gentle angel-alike beauty Beechat (played by Ae Isariya Saisanan) is a gold-digging impostor of his girlfriends who he haven`t seen for 8 years since his depart to Australia.What he doesn`t know is that Beechat is the real woman who wrote him all the letters of love over all these years.Even not knowing this...he still can`t resist his heart that pulls him towards her.

You will probably cry
When I say I hate the series I might mean it a little bitDespite that I still love it a lot.
I feel that some people are actually are going through the same thing as wang with the homophobic or narcissistic mother or a controlling mother.
A mother that makes you feel guilty for alot of things.
Its a very toxic mother. Like ep 8 said.. Just because your a parent doesn't mean you should control everything your child does...
Not only does it give you tears but it gives you a bit of education and gives you a perspective of what some people go through... Thats why i love this series... Although i think this series must be sued for making me cry but in the same breath... They all need a raise. Very good acting, very good plot.

Sometimes, a happy couple not always ending as a happy marriage. All of kindness in relationship can change when someone play with heart. When you cheat at your spouse, everythings never be the same.
but don'tt worry, there's a rainbow after the rain :)
Overall... I love this movie. Worth to watch.

Best Wuxia movie I've watched this year!
Idk what the reviewers are talking about. I got hooked by this movie because of trailers. Hollywood made a ton of shitty trailers, DONT FOLLOW THEM! Anyhoo, I admit the martial arts in this movie were a bit flashy, ppl flying off a horse, lots of jumping and flying kick...... BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO GOOD. The cinematic fight scenes did help to make you glued to the screen. While they make the plot so simple : guarding an important figure to chang'an but giving the backstory of the MC and his enemies. Also HOW IS NIC TSE STILL LOOK THE SAME LIKE 20 YEARS AGO? HE'S 52! costume wise, it's in a desert, so the tone is earthy colour. There's one scene remind me of Mad Max lol. Overall if you're looking for a wuxia movie, you can try this one.Was this review helpful to you?
Yui and Abe’s acting skills are impeccable and the way they play off each other is captivating! Actually, everyone was really great, such natural and organic scenes which were composed mostly of dialog, GREAT dialog which grew and simmered like real conversations… so realistic, at times if seemed like I was watching a hidden camera video recording of some family’s life!
Watching this has really reinforced my Yui Natsukawa love, man…she was so doggone pretty and delicate in this one, not at all like the tough realist Natsumi Hayakawa (her character in Kekkon Dekinai Otoko), but both really great characters. And of course, no matter who she plays, her characters always have those signature dimples, and in fact, there's a scene where Mother (played excellently by the awesome Kiki Kirin) even comments, "Oh, you have cute dimples!" LOLOL
PS. Was really cool to realize the line “Aruitemo, Aruitemo” used as the title of this movie came from none other than the immensely gorgeous Japan chanteuse Ayumi Ishida’s song “Blue Light Yokohama”, how cool is THAT!!!

First and foremost, this production is well-made, well-cast and well-acted. The leads are capable and play their roles with class and conviction. The villains, oh my, they made me grit my teeth and ball my fists throughout three-quarters of the show but it’s all thanks to the brilliance of Wu You as the contemptible Wu Xin and her dorky, shameless mother, Wang Ai Yu. The duo gets away with witchery, spinning lies over the course of 17 years.
Amidst this human sorcery, life goes on blissfully for Zhang Guo Guo, growing up not knowing her fate as the heiress to an esteemed embroidery powerhouse. But truth and destiny will prevail as the power of the plot and amazing acting tie every event together in a journey worth our patience.
Very much a melodrama, with all the angst and tears you’d expect from this genre, Guo Guo and Yun Kai’s sweet and uncomplicated love for each other is secondary only to the main storyline— Guo Guo returning to her roots. Also entwined in all the sub-plots is the enduring message of maternal and paternal love - biological or adoptive, it can be likewise powerful or destructive.
Stellar, stellar cast including little Le Tong. What an ensemble of perfection. Well worth the angst!

sweet & charming innocence
the story feels like a prequel to a love story but it does so in a cute and charming way. went into this not sure what to expect due to such a wildly mixed bag of opinions, but I found myself laughing a lot throughout the episodes. loved seeing winny and satang in this too, they both added so much to the already great story. in fact, the supporting cast were all amazing, this felt really well in terms of their performance together.this is lighthearted, with a great representation of fearful, timid, yet entirely sweet dancing around with the idea of confessing. thoroughly enjoyed all of this.
my only subtraction to my score is having to see joong be so serious for most of this. would’ve loved to see him act cutely more lol

Anyway, there is no question as to how well KMM portrayed his role. I feel bad though that "Jeon Ji Won's "(JYH) character was not completely fleshed out. I enjoyed listening to the two arguing in court, not for the content but for their voices.
I may re-watch, perhaps, just to try and understand what al the talk was about.
This is not a drama for everyone unless you are KMM fan.

Addictive murder mystery period drama with complex characters
This show had me hooked from the beginning! It had so many of my favorite TV elements: a slow reveal of characters' complex backstories, a murder mystery, glamorous period costumes, and a variety of badass female characters. Also, compared to Taiwan's normal campy, cutesy TV fare (which I do love, to be clear), Light the Night is a huge step up in production quality and story.The show revolves around Rose and Sue, two best friends and house mothers of a 1980s Taipei nightclub. As the episodes unfold, we learn about each of the supporting characters and the drama leading up to the pilot episode's murder. We don't learn the murder victim's identity until the very end, setting us up for Season 2 to investigate the murderer's identity.
I would highly recommend watching this show not just once but multiple times; it's definitely the type of show where you'll pick up subtle details during a rewatch. An artfully crafted story, superbly acted, scored, and production designed, I can't wait for Season 2!

Jin-Su suffers from mental illness, borderline personalities to be exact. After she has a mental break and is committed to a mental institute the true story begins. She checks herself out of the institute and then some years later she runs into her shrink Seok-Won. Seok-Won seems like a pretty normal guy. As the story unfolds more information about each character is revealed. At times Jin-Su seems like the normal one. Her husband clearly has some issues. Yet it is Seok-Won, the very man who is supposed to help people, that ends up being the "sick" one.
This movie deals in the gray areas of the moral codes. It even brings into question the type of people who help those who suffer from mental illness. It also airs out some hard truths about mental abuse. Hypnotized shows that those labeled with mental issues may not be the ones that you need to worry about. That there are many forms of mental instability as well.
If you want to be kept on your toes, this is the film for you. It's a tale of betrayal, revenge, control, abuse, lust, and what I like to call irony. In the end Hypnotized even has a twist of horror and the supernatural. Oh, and this is down right sexy. The take on mental illness is very different and I'm sure will cause many heated debates.

A Swing but A Miss
Potentially, this could have been a great BL series but it ended up being another formulaic series from Thailand. Conceptionally, a great idea but it turned into a soap opera, unfortunately. They had GREAT actors who are beyond stunningly handsome and turned an interesting story into a mundane romp through boredom. For sure, they were an enchanting couple with no real substance to their relationship. The ending was simply dreadful and astonishingly dense. Not high on my list of watchable ones which I know I am in a minority here. I just did not believe their relationship, even if it was so cute.Was this review helpful to you?
Acting : they really into the character, especially the main character, you can feel the love and the sacrifice of the male main lead and the agony and loneliness of the female lead.
Music : the soundtrack of this dorama is still in my Ipod list, i still humming of the soundtrack melody sometimes,that's why it's outstancding.
Rewatch Value : i'll certainly want to watch it again but not so desperate to.
Overall : it's a beautiful melodrama with a twist that not imaginable, the cast is good in portraying the character and the soundtrack is so captivating, i still have it in my Ipod and still sing it in the karaoke box sometimes.. ^^
Recommend it! :D
