My life is over

I am devastated that this show ends gonna. They have phenomenal chemistry and I can't wait for them in the 2026 lineup. Java has evil eyes. Dont fall for them. I don’t know what he gains from lying to him. The concept of him cheating on him and then him try to kill him and the fact they’re back together is insane. I don’t know if this was a good idea. I understand jinn completely because if my parents got back together id flip. A very easy fix. At what cost? Oh god now he can talk to himself, we should have commicated. That’s actually so dramatic you find out your parents got back together when you get in a car your mom gets in the car with you and you end up killing your damn mom and your boyfriend watched it happen. That’s low-key traumatic as fuck.  look at how easy this could’ve been fixed with good communication. Y’all are together because he loves you because he didn’t start having these dreams until after y’all got together lock the fuck. If he didn’t love you, then he wouldn’t be going through all these motherfucking links to keep you safe. You are fucking dumb bitch. WHY ARE THEY SO FREAKED OUT. This scene would be so much more meaningful and like oh my God they’re talking out if this NIA was not on top of him get the fuck off my screen you gay bastards. 9/10 okay bye!

the worst of fl and ml

grr this episode was a bit frustrating, with nie xiguang STILL chasing after that loser zhuang xu. like she literally ran out on her job just to catch a glimpse of a man who talks down to her? then manipulates the shanghai outing with her friends to chance a meeting with him? girl! and yusen is doing the usual thing we see in business dramas where the ml mistreats fl in the workplace because of his pent up frustration about his personal feelings for her. still, i'm optimistic and understand this is just the beginning of the story. and i still like xiguang's character, even if i do very much wish she would stop obsessing over zhuang xu

A Modern Story About a Superhero

I am currently watching the series — I’m on episode 3 right now — and it is shaping up to be very promising. It has an interesting concept of a superhero who has to literally pay for his superpowers. This is my second drama with Jun-ho; the first one was King the Land, so it’s really exciting to see him in such a different role.I also like the idea of portraying a Korean association of superheroes. The show offers an intriguing social commentary about the price of human life. From what I’ve seen in the reviews, the series supposedly gets worse in later episodes, so I’m curious to see what happens next. For now, I would rate it a 9.

I wanna talk about THE KISS

The final scene of episode eight frames the main couple's first kiss (Sa-Rang and Gu Won). Well, I loved it. The direction is fantastic, marvellous, just amazing. Every cut of this scene is perfect, mostly close-ups, which are my favourites. Every shot makes me feel emotionally and physically involved in the moment. The actors are excellent as well: their movements, their hands, their breaths feel so natural and romantic, delicate; his eyes full of desire. The take is intimate and sensual. The 'rain' is also a further poetic element. The position is extremely right (on the kitchen's counter) and adds dynamism to the whole scene. Pauses and slow motions are crucial elements: in particular, first they stare at each other, then, right before the kiss, there's the usual 'consent pause' (in this case, a close-up on Gu Won's face). They talk with their soft touches and their eyes. Eyes that she carefully closes, approving the action that is about to follow. There's a second important pause, before the second kiss: again, desire and love fill their eyes. About music, I would have preferred 'Confess to you' as the soundtrack, but it's just because I really like this song; I know the sound aspect is well looked after: the track that is actually used is nice, slow, sentimental and matches the vibe. My rating here is only destined for this astonishing and wonderful kiss. Pure magic, nothing further to add.

Two Stars

Only You was my first Thai GL. So I thought this was the standard and I am totally happy about the cringe since I came from watching soap operas and teleseryes from the Philippines. So I didn't really have much hope for this one and I was right lol.Bodyguard x celeb is actually a good yearning trope but they did not really focus on this trope as much as I thought and that's disappointing. Also, what kind of bodyguard wears heels on the job? Makes no sense lol. They mostly did it to close the gap of the heights of LingOrm which is so unnecessary in my opinion. It's okay if the more femme one is taller. It's hotter that way but that's just me. There's also so much trope in this show that it didn't really make for a good plot. They put in the star-crossed lovers trope here as well which could've so much angst if it was written well. But the fathers not approving the relationship not because of homophobia but because they are business rivals is so trivial that it didn't really hit my feels at all. If Ayla's father is rivals with Tawan, then that would be a better plot. And do not get me started with the sickness thingy that came out of nowhere. Like tf? It was a great gesture from Tawan and all but it didn't really tie to the story. It felt like I was watching a different show. I wished they sticked to one trope and focus on that then maybe we could've gotten a better show. I really believed that the director didn't really utilized the actresses full potential in this series. Orm (Ayla) - she is such a good drama actress. Her scenes always tug at my heart but I just think that there are times that she didn't really need that much emotion on a scene. Like gurl you don't have to cry all the time. I get it you can cry on cue lol. Her character doesn't also have a lot of inner conflict and I wish there was more angst for her character because she got left with no explanation. I would've loved to see a moment of her struggle of her almost giving up on Tawan. The ""is she worth it"" moment. I felt like a monologue would've been perfect for Orm because she would've pulled it off easily. Lingling (Tawan) - I love protective tropes as much as the next person but I don't like the way it was portrayed here. It's giving toxic masculinity, especially when Tawan is an S class bodyguard. She should have better composure and a better grip of her emotions. I wanted the portrayal as ruthless but not violent. Calculated not explosive. Also, the poker face should be for the outside world, and she shows her softness when is alone with Ayla or in her regular life. There's not much of that I've seen. I want the microreactions, the small smiles, the yearning glances. I needed more from Tawan. Because she's a yearner through and through but I just didn't see that on her facial expressions. In actions sure. I like the music and it's been added in my playlist. I like when people make songs for the actual show and not just grabbing a song that's already out there and making it an OST. So I am very happy about the music. However, I am very upset that they didn't really use the actors very well. I really think that there's so much more of them than this. Also, I think the intimate scenes could've been better especially the kissing scenes since we are in the year 2025. I thought they would kiss like they weren't cardboards lol. I really wanted to like this series so much because the actresses are quite good. It just keeps missing on where I wanted it to be.

watching this 1st ep & seeing the mains…

watching this 1st ep & seeing the mains butting heads, i get why everyone keeps talking about Bad Buddy. they a lighter, but same vibe version. also seems like J hasn't matured at all & he's still the little boy that loves teasing the guy he has a crush on. the fact that his younger self, rejected Jinn is neither here nor there, as they were young & at that age, that's how some kids react no matter who is trying to talk, about liking them. & even though i am calling out J i totally love him - he is like dennis the menace. *******************************************************************************************************************************also like the 2nd couple & find it ironic, that they personality wise total opposite's to each other & their bff (J & Jinn), Farm more like Jinn while Van is J lol. ******************************************************************************************************until New showed up (as Tar) i thought Farm was the best looking among the foursome (don't get me wrong, they all good looking, but he's my cup of tea) & mentioning New - dude is aging like fine wine - how can someone look even better as time goes by??????? also loved seeing baby Paul as Beam - pity he hasn't a bigger role. **************************************************btw always enjoy seeing JJ or his twin but sadly they always side character's - always the bridesmaid never the bride?!?? bummer
