could've been better

i had saw this trending and was interested in watching but no matter how much I searched i couldn't find it I had actually seen the scenes of highschool only and thought it's highschool drama later I found out they're not main but support characters because of that I quit and now I tried watching seeing if I would like but drop because I read the reviews and no point in watching

why I dropped

the highschool story and cast is probably more interesting
the older cast both don't match even visually though? and their moment from starting feel dull ?
FML is clearly casted tall for highschool and as older she's been casted as short ? ml i don't know is not right cast too I think
poor writing,- this could've been a hit as only school romcom than breakup and meet-up in future
if the older version part didn't existed and only highschool romance then I would have liked it definitely I'm also dropping because they're not gonna be shown till the end
many reviews say the same I tried watching I had avoided because of older cast I thought I should atleast try maybe I like it but no I feel like skipping, highschool part is more interesting but sadly that's not the story or they could've played the older version too that would've been better then new cast

This is just lazy

Normally I would never write a review, but with how bad this movie was. Genuinely I had to make a reviews for this. I had high hopes for this movie, and was shocked how bad it was. I just wanted to say that this has to be one of the worst movies that I have ever watched. Personally I believe they were lazy with the character set up. Why is it that the male lead can only constantly say that he knows Taekwondo as if there is nothing else better about him. Maybe it's just me but personally I don't get the purpose of the rest of the character, because if the whole point of them being there is to just get bitten. Then they are completely useless to the storyline, and I get that this is a movie, but still have some type of character depth.

Another thing is I don't get how you can get piled by a bunch of zombies and not get biten ATLEAST once. I think thats honestly so unrealistic, and to add to the the whole teeth falling out. Their attempt for humour is just straight up bad, it would have made the movvie much better if the male lead did get bitten and was left behind.

The ending is really annoying too, because how dumb do you have to be to leave the that open for the zombies to escape into Gangnam. Potentially suggesting a second movie, but I just believe there is no need for a second movies. If the first one is bad, imagine how worse the second could get. However, I could be wrong, but we will never know.

Let me not talk about the minecraft zombie noises. For a movie made in 2023, you'd think they would have good sound effect, BUT no. I just see it as purely lazy, and cheap to put in MINECRAFT zombie noises instead of having a voice actor.

Half the time I don't even understand what is going on in this show, it's attempt at comedy was bad, the makeup was terrible, the actors are too emotionless., the sound effects are just lazy and the story is all over the place. I have more questions then answers in this movie. It's as clear as day that this movie was made with a very low budget

I do believe that this movie had potential, but that potential was thrown out the window into a dumpster fire. I would not recommend this movie at all. I think the only good thing that came out of this movie has to be the music, and that's it.

Cliche story and lackluster execution

The title ("Business Marriage: If We Fall in Love, We'll Divorce") says it all. Anyone who's seen one of the many dramas based on that silly premise can guess what's going to happen...
Indeed, the story is utterly predictable. Which could be fine.
The issue is, the execution feels lazy and cheap. No fun/cute side characters to root for, low production value (most of the drama is shot in that one horribly decorated apartment), no side story to distract us from the tedious flow of the main one.

This drama felt formulaic and impersonal.

For those learning Japanese: it is on the easier side. Day-to-day Japanese spoken at a normal pace. Full Japanese subtitles on Viki.

The chaotic team I didn’t want to say goodbye to

I knew the day would eventually come when I’d genuinely enjoy a character played by Cha Eun-woo, and here we are! He can absolutely pull off a superhero role. His laid-back, introverted, and quiet personality was perfectly balanced by the female lead’s chaotic energy and enthusiasm. Their dynamic worked because it felt natural & he didn’t need to be overly expressive or do anything over the top to make his character stand out. That said, I do wish other MLs’ Ro bin and Son Un had gotten more screen time. Since they’re an important part of the team, it felt like there was still so much more to get out of their characters.
I do have to say Eight episodes weren’t enough for me to fully connect with the characters.. It felt like the show ended just as it was hitting its stride, leaving me wanting a lot more.

Plus I also have to say I’m glad romance wasn’t the main focus of the story. While there were a few romantic moments here and there, I never really felt the chemistry between the leads as a couple. They worked much better as teammates than as a romantic pairing, so I was happy the show didn’t force a bigger romance storyline.THANKGOD 🙏

The comedy, however, was a solid 10/10. These wonder fools had me laughing out loud in every single episode. The humor landed perfectly, and the group dynamic was easily one of the show's strongest points.

One thing I couldn't help noticing was how similar the backstory felt to Stranger Things. The whole concept of scientists experimenting on orphaned children, followed by a lab accident caused by the main character, immediately reminded me of stranger things. At times, the parallels felt a little too obvious to not mention.

Overall, this was a fun, lighthearted watch with plenty of laughs, lovable characters, and just enough action to keep things interesting. And honestly? I think this is exactly the kind of show that deserves a Season 2. There’s still so much potential left, and I’d happily watch another season with this crew.

Boring to death!

I watched it because of the good reviews and the 2 actors. My first drama with Dilraba was “Love in the Turquoise Land,” and I liked her so much. I knew YangYang a long time ago, and apart from his undoubtedly attractive face, I like his acting.

But I can only say: what a waste of time!! In the last episodes, I used the fast-forward button because I couldn't stand it anymore.

There is no plot. Just 2 people who meet again, fall in love, and whose daily lives unfold. But without good photography, a good script, or good acting. We assume their love is “true” because of the childish voices of the FL and the grimace of the ML. Of course, you will not find it in their kiss scenes. They couldn’t be more false and cold.

The only purpose of this drama, I imagine, is to praise the Chinese Aerospace Academy and their recent achievements. It’s just an exercise of nationalism and insists on the right virtues: family, humility, solidarity… Otherwise, It has no sense to film this drama.

Soul Crushing!

Overall, this is a series steep in the imagery of ferocity, harshness, and seemingly emotional intensity. But it is a ruse; a gimmick. You do not get to witness that fervent intensity until the VERY last scene when the very last line of the series is finally delivered. And even then, we never see our protagonists – our heroes, the emotional nonpareils – deliver the words: we only hear their words. I cried. I found that so profoundly sad. That, sullenly, I felt. We had to literally wait until the end to find out that they were deeply in love with one another. I cried because I wanted those words to be spoken much earlier. They never did. Or at least inferred. They never were, and thus they never were. The only emotion that this series gets undeniably correct is sadness. Unfathomable despondency. This is by far one of the saddest, if not the saddest, series I have ever seen on all appraisable levels. If you are wanting or expecting it to be emotionally passionate, you are going to be disappointed. Perhaps it might be better, ironically, to watch this series from its end to the beginning. Then the whole picture is made clearer. They got the editing all wrong. The saga tries too hard to convince us it is a story of intrinsic feelings. Sure, we are overwhelmed with ardencies, but we have no time to feel them. The story continuously takes us on along a journey into a world of hurt, leading into forks in the road that only lead to other levels of affliction. As if somehow, all this represents the only way life is for them. It does not. This odyssey became corpulent with deleterious effects and therefore hard, at least for me, to know what to sense and thus, I shut down. I saw and felt no real connection between the two of them. This is a soul-crushing series full of pain and sadness. Nothing more.

Good idea, Bad execution but at least they tried

What can I say about GMMTV's most anticipated series? Personally, I really enjoyed it. Even though I think 10 episodes would have been enough, I became genuinely attached to the characters and their different life journeys.

My favorite characters were Bambi, Shasha, and Gorya. They all had strong and interesting personalities, but what also stood out to me was their fashion. Their outfits felt fresh and innovative for a GL series, and I really appreciated that because we don't usually see characters dressed like that in this genre.

Despite all the complaints and criticism on social media, I enjoyed Girl Rules. It was entertaining in many ways and gave me exactly what I was looking for, so thank you to the series for that.

As for the couples, I really loved Shasha and Gorya, as well as Prim and Bambi. By the end, their relationships became quite similar, even though they started off completely differently. There was sexual tension, some cheating, a little bit of craziness, but not enough arguments for my taste. I would have liked to see more conflict between these couples to make their dynamics even more compelling.

I'm sorry, but I really didn't enjoy Min and Praew as a couple. Their dynamic was frustrating to watch. I didn't find Praew's persistence cute at all. It's such a shame because Min's storyline about discovering and coming to terms with her sexuality was genuinely interesting, but this relationship took away from that for me.

I also appreciated that the series touched on queer (lesbian) themes, women's issues, and mental health. Even though these topics were only explored on a surface level, I think they deserved much more development.

In any case, don't let social media opinions decide for you. Form your own opinion. The series is nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be.

Heartwarming Coming-of-Age BL Series

When Oranges Fall is such a heartwarming and comforting BL series that beautifully captures high school romance, friendship, and youth. I genuinely love the main cast, Almond and Progress — their acting feels natural, emotional, and full of chemistry. They truly bring their characters to life in a way that makes every scene feel sincere and memorable.

I also adore the side characters portrayed by Ken, Paul, Justin, and Keaton. Their presence adds so much charm, warmth, and fun to the story, making the friendships feel genuine and lovable.

What makes this series special is how it perfectly balances romance, friendship, and coming-of-age moments. It reminds you of the beauty of growing up, finding comfort in people, and experiencing young love for the first time. Every episode leaves a warm feeling in my heart.

I truly hope When Oranges Fall receives all the love and success it deserves. These talented young actors are undoubtedly part of the future of GMMTV, and I’m excited to see them grow even more in the industry.

4 ahjummas coming together to fight crime and save their apartment complex

This drama 's first episode had biggest hook I have ever seen; I was instantly hooked from the very first episode, and as I expected, it turned out to be a fantastic show.

Plot**
The story follows four undervalued housewives who, in the eyes of their families, are merely housewives. They come together to solve mysteries and apprehend criminals. Miri, who has a traumatic past involving a serial killer and the loss of her best friend, works hard to support her husband, who causes various issues. She possesses a keen ability to notice details and piece them together, much like Sherlock Holmes, to solve cases. Gyeong Ja, an ex-detective with impressive physical strength, left her job to let her husband excel and now embraces the role of a housewife. So Hui, a diligent delivery woman, is an endless source of information. Finally, Ji Hyeon, who owns a neighborhood supermarket, has exceptional negotiation skills and talent for acting.

Though they are different, they are united by a shared desire to address problems within their apartment complex. They start with minor issues, like improperly separated garbage, but often uncover more serious crimes in the process. If you enjoy dramas about middle-aged women joining forces with elements of crime and mystery, akin to Sherlock Holmes-style investigations, then this is definitely the drama for you. It is not only enjoyable and funny but also heartwarming. The best part is, they have conformed for a second season, and i knew they would because this was such hit. .

My May Recommendation movie

Watch this because of recommendation from 𝑨𝒒𝒖𝒂. Let’s discuss movie…

The story begins during a scorching summer in rural Yamagata Prefecture, where Tomoko and her classmates are stuck in a remedial math class. Desperate to escape the dull lectures, the girls volunteer to deliver lunch boxes to the school’s brass band, who are away at a baseball game supporting the team. But due to a train delay and the sweltering heat, the food spoils by the time they arrive. The entire band comes down with food poisoning—except for Takuya, the quiet reserve cymbal player who didn’t eat his box.

With an upcoming game that requires a pep band, Takuya realizes he needs musicians fast. With no other options, he blackmails Tomoko and her friends into joining—forcing them to fill in as replacements.

At first, the girls have no musical talent nor discipline. They can’t read music properly, struggle with their instruments, and treat the whole thing as a joke—or just another way to avoid remedial class. Since a full brass band needs dozens of players, Takuya decides to scale things down and turns the group into a jazz big band, assigning the girls to saxophones, trumpets, and trombones.

As rehearsals continue, the girls slowly become fascinated by jazz music. Their clumsy practices lead to many chaotic and hilarious moments—broken instruments, wrong notes, constant arguments, and embarrassing mistakes. Yet despite all the chaos, they truly enjoy it.

Just when they finally begin improving, working together and playing in harmony, the original brass band members recover and return to reclaim both their positions and instruments, leaving Tomoko and her group out in the cold.

But instead of giving up, the girls decide to form their own independent jazz band. There’s just one problem: they have no instruments. The story follows their hilarious and determined attempts to raise money, until they finally manage to buy cheap, dented, secondhand ones. Still, they face more obstacles—no proper practice space, and no formal instructor to guide them.

Over time, the group transforms. From lazy students avoiding class, they become a real jazz band. Led by the energetic and impulsive Tomoko Suzuki, they begin practicing seriously. Through music, they build strong friendships, find confidence, and discover a sense of purpose they never had before. Jazz brings excitement into their ordinary school lives—something raw, free, and entirely their own.

So, how will their journey end?
Will they manage to stay together and continue pursuing music, or will their passion eventually fade away?

That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.

What I like:
+ Tomoko’s passion for jazz music is really infectious, we can feel her passion.
+ Love to see the girls transform from lazy students into talented music players.

What I don’t like:
- What a BS to mastering all that instrument in that short of time.

Overall this really one interesting movie to watch…
