fortunn - this drama never prolongs unnecessary scene. From the start of ep I thought they would focused on junhyeon breaking into the meeting room but they just gloss over it. I’m really pleased with the director style of things- Damn chairman kang is out here controlling people with his words! Just calming down kang jaeseong is already impressive (I mean that’s his son and bit stupid but still impressive). He knows what kind of trap jaeseong would fall into. I really like this kind of plot argggh- Banggeul is so pitiful… I think chairman wants her to live comfortable life away from the company power struggle, but this is not it. He took his twin side too much, I know they will resent him if he takes banggeul side but sending her abroad is too much. Especially since she is abroad for 15 years, she went away at around 10 years old(?) I hope he redeems himself and become good dad to banggeul this time- And the way he makes banggeul finally cooperate with him is so cathartic. Lee junyoung and lee jumyoung acting in this scene is so impressive, so cathartic. I love how he corners her with his words and banggeul finally realizing he could only work together with hwang.- And lmao all his calculation afterwards is so exciting lol, from his manager and team members to the managing director, he made people move exactly as he wants. I love the business and company politics insight in this.- In the webtoon, hwang is behind the scene rather than directly manipulating managing director kwon so it’s great to see the changes!- There are some funny bits like when the material team members prepare for their raids lol, why would you put on lipbalm or chew on bottle of pills ahahahha- Btw now I understand a bit people fixation of explosives. Explosion is art lol- The preview seems exciting too, him lying he is chairman youngest son is so funny and I wonder what’s on that phone to make him mad. This is why I love junyoung, from his expression you know it’s comedic kind of mad, so I’m excited to see what happens lol

IM YourOnlyOne 1. I already knew they were going to mess up because the way the orders were placed on the kitchen was random.Always remember: FIFO. First In, First Out. That principle applies in almost all aspects of life.So for orders, always move the first to the right-most side, and you place the new ones to the left. Everytime an order slip is done, you move every pending slips to the right.You also always mark which items were served so you are not guessing. And in case the next order is similar, you can move to that already, while still cooking the other items from the long order.It's fine if you're new. No issue there. But it is a lesson to take heart. FIFO. First In, First Out.2. The episode focused too much on the big group. That's fine, it's the episode title after all! I just wished they showed more of the kitchen and how they handled the sudden influx of orders, group orders at that.It could've added more context as to what exactly happened. I have a suspicion it isn't just because they didn't follow FIFO principle.But yes, maybe they'll show it in Episode 5.3. All I'm saying is that E04 left the audience, or just me, in a bad mood. It was like the episode was edited in a way to emphasize the error and how bad it was to make Koreans wait. Which isn't about Koreans or Korean culture at all, making customers wait is bad no matter which country you are at, so there was no need to emphasized it in this episode.They made mistakes. We know that. They're newbies to this type of work. It isn't an excuse and I am not defending them because they're Filipinos, but again, E04 tipped too much on emphasizing their mistakes. It lacked balance. You don't do this in competition/survival type variety shows, there's always a balance in each episode.They could've titled Episode 04 as "Chaotic Filipino Restaurant Made Koreans Wait Forever". 🤪🤣😝😜😆 That's what I got from E04.Likely too late to update the future episodes, but at least, the editing team and directors might discovere this feedback so they can improve their style in their future projects.

Spoilers ahead. Episode 2 is just so beautiful. To see Tanrak's journey from believing lust is not being able to control your desires, to openly embracing that desire was so incredible. Tanrak and Barth's hands touching, such an innocent thing to happen between two friends, becoming so much more than that just felt so real. And the religious iconography that he thought of as he walked towards the bathroom - and he still went in? Such a huge statement. And I loved it. I really like that this episode wasn't about love, but desire. There was of course the song - which is stunning - but ultimately, these are teenage boys. Lust comes before love and you never see that in GMMTV BL's! "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." At the end of this episode, Tanrak made a choice. He chose love. Like we all should. I know that some will complain about how fast the eps are moving and believe me, nobody wishes there were 16 episodes of this more than me, but I think it's understandable that GMMTV were nervous about this release and so made it a short series. But I'm also saddened by it - this series is so insanely important that I wish they had got behind it a little more. Still, let's just be grateful that it got made at all.

The Land of Warriors Episode 1

I immediatly started this after watching Douluo Continent. The first episode is a shock. The relationships changing to be more intimate, the cast changing, the sets being noticeable change from the gritty wuxia to full on xianxia cgi. By the end, I am starting to accept it, but it's hard to not make direct comparisons when watching back to back. Watch some other series before you jump into this one of you just came from Douluo Continent.

viola wow it's been a while since i've seen the white truck of doomi will have to say that props to this episode for making me want to keep watching just to find out what the hell is going to happen next!!!! nothing about this episode really comes as a surprise because we as the audience KNOW that mun-do was going to do something to keep his position at the company. but there was a half-second where i wondered if he would after we had that moment with him and his son. but of course he can have that soft moment and then turn around and attempt to kill his uncle. i figured that he would attack the grandmother first but then again he really doesn't have to because shin seori and her grandma pose absolutely no threat to him whatsoever.i felt that the scene with the grandfather and dan-shim was very poignant. him saying that he doesn't want two lonely people together because he thinks segye deserves more hurt, especially for danshim to hear. once again she was confronted with the reality of her situation. and not only that but who she is as a person. her fight with segye was so good in that it showed that both of them have problems! segye for blowing his top and danshim for her pride! the way she can't bend to him and apologize to him because her first reaction is to always defend herself is very realistic and shows how flawed she is a person! love may have softened her and segye, but it did not change them as people, which i like about their romance.of course i was frustrated at some parts of this episode. like wdym segye doesn't think mundo would kill him for real after the two attempts on his life? listen you can be grateful that your cousin saved your grandfather and also believe that he would still absolutely shank you in a back alley somewhere. and this may be the crux of why mundo has such a big problem with segye: in that he thinks he's immature and incapable of handling the business the way mundo can. obvs segye CAN handle it WITHOUT resorting to killing people but to mundo that's just weakness.we had a lot of callbacks to the comet hanging in the air as a reminder that this entire scenario IS a fantasy. segye mentioning how ridiculous it feels to him is the narrative yet again reminding us that our sweet romcom moments of the past 9 episodes were based on a miracle. and now it's time for both our protagonists and us as the audience to wake up. i do prefer this over a neatly bow-wrapped ending of segye and danshim triumphing off to their happy ending. i mean i do want them to get their happy ending but i don't mind if they have to work a little bit more at it tbh

What do I like best about CHASING LOVE episode 2? The excellent storytelling! It seems like each of the six main characters have interesting back-stories.... And the way each one is being unwrapped is quite engaging. This series would probably turn out to be a seriously funny rom-com, and THAT'S A GOOD THING🥰😍😘😁🥳❤️❤️❤️🇹🇭

IrenaK Oh, what an episode! The beginning was so promising and... oh boy, do I love Dylan Wang fight scenes? YES, some of the best I have seen in C-dramas so far! I was so excited about everything—the decoy move, the scouting, the infiltration into the Imperial army—overall a very well-planned attack, and those agile moves, cuts, and slashes... AMAZING! Such ML aura, I can't.... However, the excitement was cut short due to the Emperor's trap. I thought they were done. But thanks to Yinlou's acting and someone shouting that the Emperor is a usurper, a tyrant, and killed Prince Rong, they all got saved, retreating back to the Dream House. And, thank God, Yinlou got away from the Emperor. I think being locked in that tower is a million times better than being around him... however, he still visits. Daily. The Emperor is getting even more out of line, killing anyone who displeases him no matter how many witnesses there are... It's actual terror in the Imperial Palace. Even Eunuch Sun wasn't spared. And what an ironic death he got! But he only has himself to blame. Luckily, we've got Wanwan as our ally now, and now will be the final countdown. This better have a happy ending. I've cried too much in these last few episodes!

4E:WIND Ep 4 - Hmmm, those extreme close-ups! Freen's skin is flawless!! Anyway, back to the series... Casting P'Nam as the ever-present incarnation of every Bua imaginable is pure genius! She's surely pushing all of Blew's wrong buttons, pushing Blew to be competitive about Lom.... Ep 5 shows AIR won't be a slow-burn love story like EARTH and WATER were, but let's look forward to hurdles and challenges, as there are four more episodes before FIRE takes over. AIR ep 4 is a 10/10 as "Vayo's 'Let's Tour Thailand' Show," with special guest, the Princess of Madelin, aka "Para Paraan Blew". With special appearance of Bua as "Multo" 😁

yaoiluver I've been dying to see this and I've finally gotten to it on my list, and it's off to a good start! I am absolutely obsessed with how much of a gay disaster Duang is lol his friends are great too

I want to like this drama but it got too dark. The main characters had a great story until now. The ml has become so toxic that there is no way to salvage this relationship honestly. In my opinion It seems quite a few Chinese bl dramas have this issue because of their stance on gay relationships.

estar idk what is wrong with Jay & Kajorn's eyes, they think Sun is ordinary looking - really? ok.... & i didn't get why Sun who is good with his fists let Jay punch him more then once, so what if Kajorn told him not to get his face hurt. the best way to avoid that, was punching Jay 1st - but i guess then Jay wouldn't want to back Sun... still meeh writing if u ask me. ****************************but Sunny is a nasty MOFO, this dude uses people like they tissue paper & once he is done with them, he wants to rob them of all they've got & then destroy them - that's kinda diabolical. it might work with small fish like Kajorn, but it wont with the white haired dude & Jay. they can smell sh*t a mile away. still enjoyed this ep - but this hella short ugh **********************************side note: Sky is so adorable & good looking his bio pic on this site, doesn't do him justice.

Thank God, this episode was much easier to watch than the previous one! Of course, the Emperor continued to be his monstrous self, while Yinlou and Xiao Duo had their plans for escape. OMG, I loved Yinlou slapping the Emperor and telling him all that truth he doesn't want to see about himself! And luckily, the Emperor snapped enough to spill that he's seeing the little Prince Rong, whom he killed himself... An opportunity, no? And Yinlou used it well, pretending to be possessed by the little prince's mother, Consort Shao. Meanwhile, Xiao Duo crafted his own plans in prison to break out and save Yinlou. Oh, and I loved so much how the Zhaoding Bureau and young Prince Liangxu are working together to help with this! Liangxu even got Miss Ming from the Dream House to help hide all these "fugitives". Liangxu, of course, has his own goal—to save Princess Hede—but all together they have a plan that's going down on the Empress's Coronation Day! Oh, I love this... I am feeling so excited! I want to see how it all goes down...

My Royal Nemesis Episode 10
0 people found this review helpful
TRIGONOMETRY The fear of every kdrama viewer. And what I initially feared in this drama. The fl forgetting about the time she spent with ML. The dan sim disappearing, and the return of the real Seo Ri. It's gonna be a big heartbreak if this is real. I don't know who the real target was, but one thing is for sure: the villain is really a nasty piece of work. At the start of the episode, I had some sympathy for him. But he proved to me that I'm light-hearted
