Bad stori, worst acting

This Ms. Yao does not know how to act, but it is the level of a 7-year-old child, she screams SUn SUn SUn ... 100 times said Sun and screamed as if she was being turned on a spit.We didn't even see if Sun killed Mrs. Yao or not???And the one with the long hair... how did he know to place the camera RIGHT THERE? How did he know they would meet RIGHT THERE?? A very bad and terrible scenario, a story that does not pass!It looks like you thought it was an Oscar series, when in fact it's just plain shit, so you extend 12 episodes for 7 days, or what?I see that it is a "custom" when the last episode in question is to be prolonged by 7-10 days.WHY???Then all 1 for series and episodes! Enjoy

2 almost kisses... what a miss - the 1st time…

2 almost kisses... what a miss - the 1st time Sky would've happily kissed Sun (in the bus) why Sun stopped himself, idk. but the 2nd time it was cause Sun asked him if he loved him. if he would've just kissed him, we would've already gotten a kiss. guess Sky isn't ready to face his feelings, he for sure get's jealous every time Juno flirts with Sun, get near him or hold his hand. *******it was ridiculous seeing Sky cozying up to Toktaeng cause he was annoyed & jealous seeing Juno cozying up to Sun. *************i don't feel bad for Juno - even though she not a mean girl, but no one is deluding her, she just fell for Sun & now it trying to pursue him, even when he isn't encouraging her in anyway. i do feel bad for Toktaeng cause she likes Sky, but she isn't doing anything, but waiting it out to see if he will approach her & sadly he is using her to make Sun jealous. Sky isn't even aware of what he is doing & how heartbroken Toktaeng is gonna be, cause of his thoughtlessness. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i love Bank & Pitch, Pitch loves to tease Bank. it's like a chubby baby that u annoy until they cry. & there was this feeling that Pitch sees Bank like a cute little bro he likes to mess with. that's why i get his not allowing the kiss to happen. maybe he didn't realize his feelings, or isn't ready to face them.. or worse he only sees Bank like a kid he enjoys playing with but that's it...

A College Romance Series that Misses the Mark

The English language websites all state that Dear.M (2022) is about an ensemble cast of college students looking for an anonymous social media user called Dear.M but that couldn’t be further from the truth; the series was just a slice of life college romance.Dear.M (2022) is a spin off to the Love Playlist (2017 - 2019) anthology which is about young adults navigating romantic love, friendship and other relatable problems. The only returning cast member from Love Playlist’s 2019 run was Bae Hyun-sung as Park Ha-neul; who's on screen partner, Kim Sae-ron was replaced by Roh Jeong-eui as Seo Ji-min. This series delves into the problems they face after becoming a couple. NCT’s Jaehyun stars as Cha Min-ho, an intelligent Computer Science major/scholarship student navigating issues in the apps he created and the changing friendship he has with Park Hye-su’s Ma Joo-ah, a cheerful girl who has never fallen in love and had a dream. Yet. Lee Jin-hyuk plays Gil Mok-jin and Woo Da-vi stars Hwangbo Young, an unconventional opposites attract couple.Friends to lovers is my favourite trope and this series 👏🏽 did 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 disappoint! 👏🏽 NCT’s Jaehyun and Park Hye-su’s chemistry was so natural and the latter’s acting is impressive despite this being his debut acting role!However, what prevented my rating from being higher is much more than the series’ strengths. Namely, a lack of a cohesive theme tying all the characters and their emotional arcs together, the writers’ abstention of writing emotionally resonant scenes, etc. It makes scenes that require dramatic acting or emotional impact… awkward to watch? Min-ho and Joo-ah’s flashback scenes had SO MUCH potential to actually become emotionally resonant but always get cut short just to transition to Ro-sa’s schemes. Speaking of Ro-sa, dedicating so much screen time to the antics of a 1-dimensional jealous, and conniving “villainess” to Ha-neul and Ji-min’s relationship instead of developing underwritten female characters, female friendships, and character writing is irresponsible and echoes the mismanagement in the writers’ room.Hence, it resulted in a 12 episode tv marathon that had me press the “skip” button way too many times; but Min-ho/Joo-ah’ scenes, the series OST: Maple Latte, Look At Me, and Something’s Wrong did alleviate the series’ flaws.We need more college stories and while Dear.M (2022) may not be a classic, it is one step closer to the right direction.P.S. The representation of a diabetic character was natural and I appreciated how respectful and thoughtful Hwangbo Young’s friends were to her!

this was going great until that moronic end…

this was going great until that moronic end - i get Sun forgetting that he is Sky's bodyguard, but he keeps seeing thing that r suspect & as a bodyguard that is trying to keep Sky alive, he needs to be extra vigilant & not give in to Sky - whenever he says to keep put. & he keeps f*cking up - if i was Sky's dad i would take him off bodyguard duty ASAP. cause he's a really bad bodyguard, maybe cause his emotions r involved. also the men don't hit women thing, was stupid when the women in question was beating the crap out of Sun & preventing him from saving Sky - like come on.... ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also Sky's dad is a really bad-guy, he might be a good father but that doesn't change the fact that he is kinda evil - he took in an orphan cause his blood was the same rare type as his son. that doesn't mean just making Sun give blood-donations every 3 months. what happens if Sky gets seriously hurt & needs an organ transplant??? who's the 1st one on the table - whether he agrees to it or not?? the fact that Sky's father told Sun to call him 'father' is the most diabolical things ever. i get a father doing anything for his only child, but what he has done to Sun is deplorable, when u really think it through. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i like Sky, he a bit spoilt but given how his father cherishes him, it's understandable & in-spite of it he is still kind & considerate. but he is a bad friend - like how he ignored & lied to Bank. also he knows that Bank was interested in Toktaeng but didn't care about his feelings. heck it seems like he remembers Bank is his friend, only when he needs something from him. so am glad Pitch has taken a liking to Bank. i like how they interact with each other. they goofy & sweet. i like them more then the main couple & it's not cause i dislike watching the mains, they have their funny & sweet moments. but idk i just like Pitch & Bank better. hope there is more of them

Cleaning fridge of overstocked items and Italian with no leftovers dish

Heo Sung-Tae is the other guest. His character is so loud and violent. This worldwide villain is like Chef Kang-Rok in real life😂 They are both rather quiet and look down while speaking. Chef So-Hee commented on how much they were similar. 😂 Mr worldwide villain thinks Chef Sam is the best one to be villain. He is scared of the chef’s canine reeth.😂 They show his snake dance on big screen and everyone is wondering how this is the same guy sitting so quietly at the table. He said the parts he plays let’s him let out his evil side legally.😂There is an ombrinho dance off at the beginning. They challenge Heo Sung-Tei to dance and he says he will if J-Hope does. The challenge is accepted and Eun-Ji added for a very fun intro before cook challenge. They all do well and J-Hope lets a bit of his cool side out quietly. Heo Sung Tae is promoting his movie Good Boy. 😁Ms do it right vs Mr slow for first round. Teacher Yo-Hee vs Student Kang-Rok after 12 years. They are really not wanting to compete against each other but the other two chefs volunteered first making them the last two. Everybody at the table however, are anxiously waiting to see how this contest plays out.😂 she threw him off with her bonus. She sent HIM the bonus chef and that wrecked his rhythm. He is calling his dish ‘leave me natto lone’😂 she is making an interesting twist on tteokguk. She finished with 2 mins to spare and now bugging Kang-Rok. 😂 He is very annoyed but trying his best to be polite to his mentor. She is one sneaky chef.😂J-Hope had small bowl of each and ate them both all gone. He said both craveable.Both chefs did very well and a winner was chosen. Now to the Italian round with chef Sam vs chef Hyun-Suk. Everybody really wants to see the winner of these two who are especially good making Italian dishes. The contest is going to be fierce and those at the table teasing chef Sam about his scary teeth.😂 Chef Sam is making a tuna pasta dish. He compared it to children’s dish to mildly introduce pasta. Chef Hyun-Suk is making a poor man’s Congolese even tho Heo Sung-Tei voted for rich man version. The chef opted not to add the egg because the texture he wanted would be changed. Heo Sung-Tae is a texture guy when it comes to his favorite foods. This is why he likes natto so much. The flavor is also important but I think he has equal assessment for them when choosing what to eat. His fridge was filled with many interesting textures as well as a variety of kimchi. This time Hyun-Suk tries out Sylvia for cooking the garlic. He adds the clam soup and everybody is waiting to see if the curse of Sylvia is broken.😂 Chef So-Hee compared the dishes as who you wanna date Brad Pitt or George Clooney 😂They were both excellent and polar opposites in taste. Watch to see which dishes the Worlwide Villain chose.
