_stars I loved this episode. When Mechoori was putting the bumpers on corners, it remined me of First Frost, where Sang Yan did the same. Mechoori is such a good person, and he loves Ye-jin. They have amazing chemistry. The second male lead is really annoying me. Nothing against Kim Bum, but the character he plays is a loser, the second male lead does not need to be pathetic to boost the image of the main lead.

Shoutout to P’Wa and the team. The cinematography, cgi, and the bg sounds are all good. And SkyNani acting is so good here. I also really appreciate Sea’s acting. Such a good start of the series.

Across the Ocean to See You Episode 6
0 people found this review helpful
So far, this show has been pretty good. On one hand, it is filled with many characters who are very unlikable for various reasons. Arguably, the only fully likable characters are the ML & FL, Zheng Chu and Su Mang and potential SFL, Yan Xiaoqiu. Everybody else is annoying for one reason or another. Even the SML (Tang Ming) is annoying because while he is a nice guy, he is also kind of pathetic with the way he lets himself get manipulated. But despite that, the show is fun to watch, moves the plot along briskly and whenever they use tropes, they make fun of doing so, either by calling them out in the script, diminishing their effect, tripping or even flipping the trope. The biggest such is of course the inversion of the classic C-Drama trope of the "cold-cruel-CEO boss" sternly but fair guiding the underling who they are destined to be with. Su Mang is excellent at being the female version of such a CEO trope. She keeps giving Chu more responsibility and he is growing professionally due to her guidance. And he literally acknowledges to Tang Ming that she is his "master" who is brainwashing his thinking. This whole dynamic is usually gender-flipped the other way around in so many c-dramas (and k-dramas).

IrenaK This episode was amazing! There was so much funny and serious, and even some blood...And I called it—Kim Hwan got discovered by his target, Hong Yeon! He really wasn't doing his job well, lol 😂. And now there's a love triangle... 🤭Actually, I am wondering why the King tells everything so freely to Hwajin. That trust actually makes me feel suspicious of her, but I don't even know of what, really. She doesn't even look or act suspicious, and it seems like she and the King really are very deeply in love. 🤷♀️Maybe Bong-Hwan transmigrated into the Queen's body to learn how to value other people, and the Queen maybe has her own experiences meanwhile in Bong-Hwan's body to learn how to value and love herself—to find her own identity, which she clearly had lost, remembering her talk with her cousin right before their kiss? 🤔

estar quite the steamy ep, that kiss between Beer & Wan was smoking & that's why i didn't get why Wan kept going on about "friends this, friends that..." friends don't kiss like that - maybe friends with benefits. but after the whole back story with Ton, i guess i get why he doesn't want to do anything that could destroy the relationship he has now with the whole group, not just Beer. but nothing last forever & life will bring changes with it if u like it or not, so that group wont remain as close as they r now. but Beer also has been pretty passive in his approach with Wan, maybe it's cause he knew of Wan's crush on Ton, that's why he was biding his time & that's why he got them together so Wan could have closure & move on... guess given Wan fears that wont happen anytime soon. hope Beer will do better then go back to acting as if they just bff's that r also roommate's. for both their sakes - ********************************************************************************************************************************the mains finally progressed towards the ending until Doc Pi popped up, the way Deiw was acting was ironic - with Pi he wanted him to be more protective & turn into a shield that would protect & shield Deiw from his friends, while now he is finding God's over protectiveness & consideration irritating & annoying... heck ur damned if u do & damned i u don't - there no pleasing Deiw is there - & should be glad that by the end they communicated & (more then) made up lol. but i don't like how Deiw jokingly belittles God all the time. it aint cute that he keeps calling him a dog - **********************************************they supposed to talk about Deiw's mother but now that Pi has popped up guess they got something more urgent to discuss - that's of Deiw will confide in God about his ex. given we don't even know how Deiw feels about him - we got 3 more eps to find out.

nafisa So it’s confirmed teacher kim is the legendary dr bu Yong ju who was unfairly kicked out of geosan hospital after he had to take on the blame of the death of a high schooler AND SHE WANTED TO BECOME A MEDICAL STUDENT AND WANTED TO OPERATE ON AN OPERATING TABLE WITH MADONNA (a singer) PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, WHICH IS WHY TEACHER KIM IS ALWAYS PLAYING THE RADIO TAPE OF MADONNA IN HIS OFFICE. HE TOLD HYEON CHEOL NOT TO OPERATE ON HER AND TREAT HER CONDITION WITH MEDICINE BUT THEY DIDN’T LISTEN SO SHE DIED, BUT DIRECTOR DO YUN WAN FORCED THE BLAME ON HIMM. Now going onwards, an accident occurs where a tired driver accidentally crashes into a group of cyclists, and as dongju was treating one of the victims, it reminded him of the last patient he treated before leaving geosan, but then teacher Kim helped him go through after teacher Kim was done operating with one of the other victims and teacher Kim did a combined operation with dongju, which seojung was really jealous of since teacher Kim didn’t allow seojung to enter the operating room due to her wrist the past 5 years. Now hyeon chul, in beom and insu visit doldam hospital. Hyeon chul visited to find out if teacher Kim if was really there or not, SINCE THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CASINO WHO TEACHER KIM WAS GONNA OPERATE ON TO CHANGE HIS HEART BATTERY, WAS ALSO THE CHAIRMAN OF GEOSAN HOSPITAL AND IN A FEW MONTHS, HIS DESCION WOULD DIRECT WHETHER OR NOT DIRECTOR DO YUN WAN WOULD STAY IN HIS POSITION OR NOT WHICH WAS WHY YUN WAN WAS DESPERATE TO BE THE ONE TO OPERATE ON THE CHAIRMAN. Insu didn’t want to come since he had plans with his wife and daughter after so long, but then hyeon chul forced him, but he was happy to see dongju. INBEOM ON THE OTHER HAND WANTED TO MEET SEOJUNG WHICH HE DID, SINCE HE WANTED TO KNOW WHO THIS PERSON NICKNAMED “CRAZY WHALE” REALLY WAS, AND HE WALKED INTO HER FOLDING THE SHEETS (he was surprised since she was supposed to be a doctor) AND LISTENING TO MUSIC AND HE ASKED HER IF SHE KNEW “CRAZY WHALE”, AND SHE REPLIED THAT IT WAS HER, AND THEN DONGJU WALKED IN AND QUESTIONED WHY HE WAS HERE, AND THEN HE TOLD SEOJUNG THAT HE WENT SO MEDICAL SCHOOL WITH HIM AND WAS THE DIRECTOR’S SON.

JJJ Will always feel for the chance that Xia Zi and Fang Nan missed. If only a step was taken when there was still a chance.

getting to understand why Deiw is like he is - given that overbearing mother of his, i thought she was a bit too obsessive what with all her calls, but then thought maybe i was wrong. assumed she's just worried about her son that's studying far from home & he is her own child - so parents tend to worry. but here she is crazy & cause of her behavior Deiw reverted into his shell, the fact he stood-up to her is understandable, also about time - but given his grandfathers coughing, have a bad feeling something will happen to him & then she will have a new way to guilt trip him into cutting his own wings. it's sad that there r parents like this out there (usually mothers) they bring children into the world & then never let them spread their wings - the outcome is a spinster that is all alone & doesn't have the tools to interact with society. sad life, cause it isn't off their choosing - like u can see Deiw is trying to open up to God & even his friends, but his mother will keep putting road blocks.... as this a light hearted romcom i doubt this will end realistically. so hoping we & Deiw gets a happy ending ***********************************************the fact that Deiw's ex is back in the picture is kinda ironic - as he has also "helped" pushing Deiw deep into the "closet", hope Deiw is ready to face him - cause he is the one that needs to face him not God.

Strong Girl Bong Soon Episode 8

Finally bongsoon finally confessed to her mum how she hated that her brother got favoured treatment, and her mother heard her complaints and acted accordingly. Bonggi was falling for heeji, gukdu’s girlfriend, and asked bongsoon if he should act on his feelings and obviously she said no, AND GUKDU FINALLY CLOCKED HE HAS FEELINGS FOR BONGSOON AND HE TOLD HEEJI SHE SHOULDN’T FEEL GUILTY FOR HAVING FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHEN HE TREATED HER WRONG AS WELL, SINCE HE HAD SOMEBODY ELSE IN HIS HEART THIS WHOLE TIME, yet he’s too late since MIN HYEOK SO GENUINE TO THE POINT HE TOOK BONGSOON TO HIS MOTHER’S GRAVE/MEMORIAL AND INTRODUCED HER AND AFTERWARDS THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW MEN AND WOMEN CAN’T BE FRIENDS, AND THAT ALL IT NEEDS IS ONE STEP CLOSER FROM EITHER PARTY FOR THEM TO START DATING, AND THEN MIN HYEOK (PHYSICALLY) TAKES A STEP CLOSER TO HER AND SHE REALISES THAT NO ONE NOT EVEN GUKDU TOOK A STEP TOWARDS HER AND MIN HYEOK WAS THE FIRST ONE. SO NOW I THINK SHE’S FALLING FOR HIM TOO. And the thugs from the development company feel like they’ve been embarrassed enough and stage bongsoon’s mother’s kidnapping even though she’s actually on holiday, so bongsoon goes all alone only to find out she’s been tricked and now she’s getting ready to fight the thugs whilst gukdu and minhyeok search for her.

a 1st kiss between the main couple should be a butterflies inducing one for the viewers, but here they show us Khun Shy diving to get away from the kissing humans - like how can i take this sh*t seriously?!?? i laughed... poor turtle is in solitary confinement - not enough he got that small ass aquarium, every chance Deiw gets he moves him into a smaller plastic aquarium that's basically the size of the turtle - Deiw doesn't come off like the loving pet owner. if anything he is using that turtle as a excuse to avoid socializing. which is valid - not everyone wants to be surrounded by people 24/7. but someone needs to free Khun Shy - ok will stop ranting about the poor captive... ahem. *************************************************************am glad Deiw stood-up to Jane, even though i don't know what she wants from him, maybe she sees herself in him or she thinks he is someone she can take under her wing & he will look up to her cause she is his savior - either way i don't get her wanting to drag him out of the "closet" when he hasn't ever shown her, he is interested in her guidance or wants to "come out". ************ btw i know i started off saying i like Game more then God's friends, but as this progress i am kinda going off him - he comes off annoying & was surprised that the guy he got close too (that i thought he would be paired with Biu) is actually the petty asshole Win - yeah not interested in either - in the least. ***************************************************************************now Wan & Beer r more interesting, even though i don't get what is really going on there, Beer isn't flirting or even wooing Wan & the way he berated him about their ex(?) friend, that ghosted them - i didn't like or understand his behavior.

Wishing upon the Shooting Stars Episode 8

that ending was freakin confusing - WTF was going on?!? the NC between Chen Hao Wei & Xiang Yong was a bit too much - not porno just too intimate where i felt like i was intruding. but was so happy for them not just to finally "come together" but to commit to each other. then we get that whack ending where they went back in time?!?? otherwise why would Chen Hao Wei be back on the island - idk what i am missing. & is happiness gained via a wish (which i kinda don't get, cause the wish wasn't for Chen Hao Wei to fall for Xiang Yong) so why would it effect them??? am sure am missing something - hope it gets clear in the next eps. ******************************************************************************************************************************also as Li Wan Zhe made a wish will it effect his relationship with Hamaguchi? how?!?

Sold Out on You Episode 6
0 people found this review helpful
TRIGONOMETRY I pretty much confirm that the mother is concerned about her child's life. She just shows her a cold attitude so that her daughter will not get stuck in problems like earlier.The episode also shows the difference between the ML and the 2nd lead. When she is in despair, the ML is fully involved with her, whereas the 2nd lead (even if he tries) cannot. He tried but could not have much impact on her situation. I could not find him in her POV. And 'that' makes the difference.
