Why are we glorifying cheating?
This woman was in a relationship, I don't care if it's a stale one. She went ahead and still kept the pharmacist as an option. This is disgusting. Why are you all promoting this garbage?She should have broken up before episode 5. Or at least she should have admitted talking to another guy to her boyfriend. I feel like her boyfriend was wronged in this situation.

Doesn’t live up to potential
I started this drama and We are All Trying Here about the same time and I almost dropped this one. It would have been my first one I ever dropped. I watched until the end for Ahn Hyo Seop but didn’t seem to really care about the other characters. Uneven plot and storylines that were unrelatable. I just skipped over watching scenes. Disappointing.Was this review helpful to you?

So Far So Good
So many dramas this year are trying too hard to make a good drama. I haven't been too lost in this one, but the story line could be a bit better. I'm not a fan of skipping backwards and forwards on a timeline. Thankfully my newest bias, Lin Mu Ran, has finally shown up in this drama. Those dimples speak to me and those eyes are definitely wonderful to see. He appears as an assassin, but not a very serious one so far. Of course I love the FL and ML and the action in it has kept me watching. It's not dragging out scenes. I'm writing this review sooner than most. Nothing can beat Pursuit Of Jade, but this drama beats most of the ones presented this year. Happy watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely Worth the hype
I honestly don't know why people are rating this drama so low. Please don't let the ratings stop you from watching it. At the end of the day, people are always going to have different opinions, and no matter what a drama does, someone will still find something to complain about.This drama was absolutely worth watching, and I personally enjoyed it a lot. One of the things I loved most was the plot twists. They kept me interested and made the story feel fresh. As someone who watches a lot of zombie dramas, I can confidently say this one felt different from many of the others I've seen, and that's what made it stand out for me.
I'm not usually the type to write reviews. I normally watch a drama and move on to the next one, but this time I felt compelled to leave a comment because I genuinely don't regret spending my time on it.
I don't want to leave any spoilers, but the acting was top-notch. The cast did an amazing job bringing their characters to life, and the emotions felt believable throughout the drama. The pacing kept me engaged, and I found myself wanting to know what would happen next.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend giving it a chance instead of relying solely on the ratings.

Nothing Burger
While looking for a contemporary drama to break up the costume ones I've been chugging, I skipped down my watch list to IDOL I.I want to say the positive things first.
I really liked the way the show looked. There was clearly a visual vision in every episode. There was some editing and camerawork that made a good impression of me and honestly had me hyped at the start of the show.
The acting is also amazing. Sooyoung has been an icon for decades at this point and she's never been in a truly bad drama. I loved seeing her play this confident woman with hidden duality. Kim Jae-young isn't as well known to me but he did a great job getting his emotions across, and he did such a good job that I totally forgot that he was a grown ass man who was older than Sooyoung.
Now the not so good stuff.
This show is a murder mystery that also seeks to tackle the pitfalls of idol culture, parasocialism, and even government corruption???
Bruh. they shoulda stuck to one thing.
The murder mystery is a jumbled up mess that's easily predictable and inconsistent throughout the whole story. The show will give you a clue that tells you one thing about the crime and then reveal the actual events were the complete opposite of what they told you. Other clues will give you the answer basically immediately.
This drama goes out of its way to show how awful Sasaeng fans are…. but they just get slaps on the wrist multiple times and technically never learn their lessons because they are STILL following the guy around by the end.
The cause of the most grief for kpop idols aren't just the bold fans who physically invade their privacy or bombard their phones, its regular faceless fans who make up the bulk of a fandom and will tear any idol apart for any perceived weakness.
This show expects me to be comfortable with a FL who expressed disappointment when she heard about our ML having a dating scandal and perked back up when he denied the relationship. We later find out the relationship was real and he did have strong feelings for the 2nd FL.
Watching a fan fall in love with an idol she's supposed to be defending, just felt icky. I think I would have liked it better if this show had no romance.
Speaking of the 2nd FL. Women chasing a man who has either shown them NO romantic interest OR has made it clear that they DON'T want a relationship is MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE. I can't stand it, and this drama offers a big helping of the jealous 2nd FL trope. It's annoying and awful and I hate it. Girl I know you're crazy 🤪 or whatever but have some respect for yourself.
I also had a huge issue with the corruption bits. It was so frustrating to watch a drama that thought I was dumb enough to believe that prosecutors doing their job was like a miracle. 2nd ML has so many dumb scenes with his dad where they're like “why are you doing your job? Make shit up!” It was so dumb, and I hated the way this whole thing connected to our (dadless) ORPHAN FL.
Also EVERYONE in this thing is like the WORST person ever to our ML once he gets accused. Every sad backstory you could think of for an idol, bros got it.
I didn't care for the musical bits but I was having fun at the beginning before the romantic bits started up. I know that its only 12 episodes but I was so frustrated watching the ML start questioning the FL about the men in her life… like dude, it's none ya business AND I think you got more important things to worry about? lol anyways, I'm never gonna rewatch. 5/10 no drama.

One of the best films I've watched this year
Well deserves its multiple Golden Horse Awards. A slow, intense, emotionally raw, and well acted film set during the period of White Terror, when Taiwan was ruled under the Kuomintang’s era of martial law. The heartwarming unlikely friendship between the two leads keeps the story from becoming unrelentingly brutal as it mixes political violence with simple moments of human connection and survival. The post-credit scenes really do amount to a fitting conclusion.Was this review helpful to you?

Everyone Needed Therapy, Especially the Foxes
📝 Review(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Any Emotional Damage)
This was one of those dramas that immediately grabbed my attention because the premise sounded cool.
Then Lee Dong Wook appeared on screen and suddenly my objectivity left the building.
The story follows Lee Yeon as he continues searching for the reincarnation of the woman he loved centuries ago, and quickly spirals into mythology, ancient grudges, family wounds, supernatural politics, and enough emotional suffering to keep everyone busy for sixteen episodes.
The FL is intelligent, capable, and actively involved in uncovering the mysteries surrounding her own life, while the ML carries centuries of grief and devotion that shape nearly every decision he makes, creating a romance built on fate, memory, and impossible waiting.
The supporting cast and side relationships add humor, heart, and emotional depth, making the world feel much larger than the central romance alone.
These types of dramas tend to rely heavily on their mythology and lore, and this one is no exception.
The folklore elements were some of my favorite parts of the entire show. Every supernatural creature, legend, and mythological reference helped make the world feel rich and lived-in rather than existing solely for plot convenience.
By the middle/end, I was fully invested in both the romance and the family dynamics.
Especially the family dynamics.
Because Kim Bum's Lee Rang spends most of the drama throwing wrenches into everyone's plans while simultaneously making you increasingly concerned for his emotional well-being.
He's not really the main villain.
He's more like a professionally trained troublemaker operating on unresolved trauma and questionable decision-making.
And somehow it works.
The gatekeeper and her husband were also fantastic. Every scene involving them added charm, humor, and a nice break from the constant supernatural disasters unfolding elsewhere.
My brain: invested in Korean mythology.
My emotions: repeatedly manipulated.
My snacks: mysteriously disappearing every episode.
One thing I appreciated was that the series kept moving. It didn't feel padded with endless filler episodes or unnecessary detours. There was always another mystery, another reveal, or another piece of lore waiting around the corner.
In the end, I finished feeling entertained, emotionally satisfied, and slightly concerned about how much I enjoyed watching immortal fox people ruin each other's lives.
And somehow… it worked.

I’ve already fallen off the cliff. Let me hit bottom and move on.
One reason The Lord of the Rings trilogy remains one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time is that it was filmed continuously, allowing audiences to stay connected to the same actors who embodied their characters so convincingly. That continuity helped make the story believable and immersive.Unfortunately, Ever Night Season 2 suffers from the exact opposite problem.
Everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong. At times, it felt as if I were watching an entirely different production with a different writing team. Having not read the novel, I can only judge what appeared on screen, and the second season felt completely out of sync with the first. While I understood the importance of the Hao Tian Maiden and her role in the story, it often seemed that every other character existed merely to serve a temporary purpose before being discarded. Characters who were carefully developed in Season 1 became little more than sketches on a drawing board.
The pacing didn’t help. The dialogue was often excessively long and painfully dull, leaving me frequently reaching for the fast-forward button. Episodes stretched simple story points into lengthy conversations, while endless flashbacks accompanied by dramatic music became repetitive and exhausting. At times, I felt trapped in a cycle of déjà vu rather than moving forward with the story.
Then there were the casting changes.
Replacing so many actors made it difficult to reconnect with characters I had spent 60 episodes getting to know. The most jarring change was replacing Arthur Chen with Dylan Wang. I understand there were scheduling conflicts, but Ning Que was the heart of the series. Arthur Chen had made the role his own, and despite Dylan Wang’s efforts, the emotional connection was never the same.
The portrayal of Sang Sang was even more problematic for me. Watching Ireine Song appear as the childlike Sang Sang in Season 1 and then seeing her suddenly presented as a grown woman and wife in Season 2 created an uncomfortable disconnect. The transition simply wasn’t convincing. A more mature casting choice might have helped bridge that gap. Instead, the character often appeared emotionally frozen in time. Whether it was the writing, the direction, or the performance itself, Sang Sang spent much of the series looking lost, helpless, or detached. Her emotional range seemed limited to smiling, crying, getting angry, and repeating the cycle. Rather than evolving, she felt trapped by the script, and I found myself feeling sorry for both the character and the actress.
As for the ending, perhaps my disappointment stems from expecting something different. The entire season seemed to suggest that hope, redemption, and light were waiting just beyond the horizon. Instead, characters died, lost limbs, lost their sanity, and suffered one tragedy after another. By the end, I found myself asking: where was the heart that made Season 1 so compelling?
Of all the series I’ve watched, this was one of the most difficult to finish. Watching it felt like running a marathon barefoot—painful, exhausting, and something I endured more out of determination than enjoyment.
The contrast between the two seasons could not be greater. Season 1 soared to incredible heights; Season 2 fell off a cliff. If there are plans for a third season, I’m not sure I want to follow. I’ve already fallen with this story, just let me hit the bottom and move on.

Healing takes time and it’s about care, patience, love, and support.
PerthSanta really made me understand why they are so loved. The chemistry and acting was just on point from both of them. Santa had a more difficult task as he had to portray practically two characters, but I didn’t feel that Perth was behind him — on the contrary. After all, the one who is closest to Solar is Pobmek, and the dramatic weight that the character carries is big.The support, care, patience and love that we see among the characters here is very beautiful. It’s exactly what a person who’s suffering with any type of mental health need. I was scared seeing the sinopse but they did the age regression thing respectfully and with a lot of care. The flashbacks from the main lead's pasts was a nice move too. It makes us understand their actions more and it also connects perfectly to the present and gives more depth to their present moments. They felt meaningful and not only random scenes. I love it! I loved the OST too! Very cute.
Despite the praises, I have to say that the characters completely ignoring therapy for Solar bothered me a bit. I know it's fiction but seeing the characters do everything to help Solar get better, do all sorts of crazy things—except taking him to therapy sessions—was a bit hard for me to a certain point. I asked myself “Why are they ignoring that?” but eventually I accepted. There were a few other points that I had to close an eye too like Solar forgiving his father too quickly and the school allowing Pobmek to teach even though he doesn’t have a teaching license and everyone accepting that 😂 but well…fiction I guess.
Overall, Love Your Teacher was a very cute and beautiful serie. I got emotional, I smiled, cried, and loved following the story of love, friendship, and companionship between our main leads. It’s not a perfect BL but I think there’s some good points here that deserves more attention.

What am I expecting??
The simplicity of this series carries such deep emotions. This is why I fell in love with JBL, and honestly, it's been a while since I last felt this way about one.I fell in love with it in the first episode, then slowly fell out of love after two or three episodes. But then I stopped and asked myself: What exactly was I expecting from this series?
The characters are literally in their late 30s. So what was I expecting? Fluff? Pick-up lines? Cringey romantic moments?
And that's when I fell in love with it all over again.
This series is not for everyone. As I've mentioned before, this isn't your usual fluffy, student-themed BL. This is real life. There's very little fantasy in it. Instead, it hits hard with themes like midlife crises, the struggle between choosing stability or happiness, the pain of slowly losing people through death, falling apart, and of course, love and marriage—especially as a queer person.
So yeah, it's not for everyone, but I'll definitely recommend it to all of you.
Bye and peace
