Season 2 went downhill and this movie went off the cliff.

I loved season 1. I managed to get through season 2. I started this hoping it would redeem season 2, but by the end I was watching at 1.5-2x, and I still felt like it was a waste of time.

What happened to this series? I noticed there's three screenwriters credited on MDL for season 1, two for season 2, and one for this film. Did they keep firing the best writer each time?

The best part of the movie was seeing the BTS clips in the closing credits.

The moral of the story is basically "AI bad". Everything kicks off the same tired way that we're now used to. Mio inexplicably falls for some guy she barely knows who turns out to be a bad guy.

But this time it's worse. The bad guy was totally pointless. He was all about logic and chasing his vision of the new world right up until the end, but then he conveniently changed his mind at the last minute and completely undid all of season 2 and this movie. Even the youkai he apparently killed are brought back to life.
The writers never explained his powers or how they related to real-world technology like the app, nor how his physical body worked.

Where was the Mio from the end of season 1 that could actually achieve something for herself? Even at the end the guy had to kill himself for her.

The main cast were all good, or as good as the material allowed them to be this time. I didn't really care about the villain at all, whether that's the actor's fault I'm not sure.

Sinceramente no veo como esta serie tiene una puntuación de 9.0. Por favor si estas puntuación se los dan los fan a los actores; les voy a pedir que los apolen en las redes sociales pero no en páginas como esta donde se le da una calificación a un colectivo completo, en páginas como esta tenemos que ser sinceros porque lo que están diciendo que esta historia, guion, directores etc... Vale esa puntuación y en verdad esta serie no pasa de ser una más del montón. Tal parece que los guionistas se copian entre ellos. Saben pueden buscar entre las literaturas clásicas o las grande pelis a ver si la musa se les aparece y crean algo diferente.
Lo bueno que vi:
Fue la actuación de TeeTee Wanpichit Nimitparkpoom dado que tenía un personaje complicado, no todos los actores pueden hacer un personaje con este estilo artístico de “sobreactuación”. No es un estilo que me guste, la mayoría de las veces rechazo al personaje pero esta vez me reí muchísimo. Creo que lo trabajo muy bien.
La actuación en general fue aceptable con la excepción de las escenas de llanto de Por Suppakarn Jirachotikul. Horrible esa escena. Debieron grabarlas hasta ver la lágrima rodar por la mejilla.
Le agradezco al guionista o al director que no se le ocurriera la idea de emparejar a los amigos de duang con los de Qinn.
Lo malo que vi:
12 capitulo son mucho para una serie que no tenido contenido alguno.
Se habla del abuso que sufrió Qinn de niño, pero no del tiempo que hubo desde que finalizó ese abuso hasta la conversación con sus padres. Acaso no tubo otras personas buenas que lo acompaño ese tiempo mientras crecía y se desarrollaba como indebido. El psicólogo no le dijo que Qinn debía seguir en tratamiento esta que llegara a superar etc... Fue el único tema que tuvo valor aquí como para 12 capitulo pero el guionista o directores no les parecieron.
Pusieron a como un tonto en todos los sentidos. No solo en el aspecto romántico (que sería en este tema una sobreactuación dando paso a la comedia). El padre, el hermano, los amigo etc… le hacen burlas y para colmo Qinn lo mira como si él fuera una papa podrida o algo por el estilo y a eso súmale que no tiene sueños propios.En fin este personaje tuvo más escenas vergonzosas que comicas. Ablaro me gusto la actuacion de TeeTee Wanpichit Nimitparkpoom pero no el personaje “duang”

After watching Season 1 and 2 more than twice, here’s my review of the drama:

Let’s talk about the story:

A simple student in a school full of bullies (they’re not changing a winning formula). Other students constantly messing with him. Episode 1 is explosive the moment he smashes the guy’s face with a notebook, +20 hits, I literally counted them I loved it.Season 1 has some really strong opponents: from classmates to gang members, all the way up to the gang leader. Plus the original antagonist who really pisses you off by the end of the season by sending someone from the group (I won’t spoil the name). That antagonist ends up becoming a huge victim and has to ask for help. Overall, Season 1’s story is TOP tier!

The actors? Nothing to criticize they’re incredible!

The fight scenes are intense, exactly how we like them!

eng is not my first lang so sorry if i made some error in my text

A simple but effective drama: a murder, a suspect, and a solid story. On the other hand, we have a woman with a very special ability she can detect lies (which would be really useful for us in real life too lol).

Overall, I thought the story was well developed: from their first meeting on the bus, to him becoming her neighbor, the discovery of his identity, the moment she finds out he’s been accused of murder, and how lost she feels because of it. Then the way the story unfolds you’re genuinely surprised by who actually caused the tragedy, even if it’s a bit predictable. From the very beginning, without knowing the plot, I suspected her friend was the culprit. Still, the story stays really cool.The acting is good overall. Not surprising coming from the actress she always delivers. I didn’t know the actor before, so he was a pleasant discovery.

WHAT. WAS. THIS. SERIES. I'm in awe!!!

I went in expecting one thing… and got COMPLETELY blown away.

First of all: this is NOT a BL (and I’m glad I didn’t go in expecting that, but it was really comfort to watch some of my favs BL actors doing a great job here). Yes, Nai is clearly in love with Dan, but romance is barely even 1% of the story. This is something else entirely, and honestly? so much better than I imagined. Because what Shadow delivers is a MASTERPIECE of psychological horror and suspense.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say I’ve never watched something that blends supernatural elements, urban legends, religion, and a criminal case THIS well. Everything is so layered, so detailed, and so intentionally built that you’re constantly trying to piece things together.

And the plot twists??? FUCKING INSANE!!!!

Every time you think you understand what’s happening, the story shifts and reveals something new. It’s one of those shows that actually makes you think, and when things start connecting, it’s just mind-blowing.

The atmosphere is another level. The cinematography has this warm, almost haunting tone that fits perfectly with the late 90s setting, and it just pulls you deeper into the story. It feels immersive, heavy, and so well-crafted.

AND THE ENDING??? I’M STILL NOT OVER IT.

When you realize that it’s not actually Dan back… OH MY FUCKING FUCKS!!!

I was literally sitting there in shock. No reaction AT ALL, just like jaw on the floor, brain not processing, needing a full minute to recover. That twist??? Was too insane to cope at once.

This one is so complex, atmospheric, and incredibly well-written. A psychological horror that actually delivers on every level. This was a whole EXPERIENCE, not just a series!!

He Fell First, He Fell Hard… I Didn’t Sleep Because of It ?

The Romance of Tiger and Rose — Review (0 or 10 Type of Viewer 😂)

When it comes to dramas, I’m the type of viewer who only has two ratings: 0 or 10. No in-between. No “it was good but…” or “it would’ve been better if…”—none of that 😂

Because honestly, what’s the point of watching?
To criticize every little detail… or to actually enjoy the story?

And The Romance of Tiger and Rose?
For me, this is a solid 10

Now, I know some people might say the plot is not unique, or that it feels repetitive—a writer transported into her own script, trying to survive while changing the storyline. I get that. I really do.

But for me? Once I’m entertained, I’m in. No “what ifs, what could've been.” I either love it or I don’t—and I LOVED this.

At first, it felt like a short drama—fast-paced, a bit unserious, almost like a parody of historical dramas. But that’s exactly what made it so refreshing. Especially if you’re coming from heavy, emotionally draining series, this feels like a complete reset.

And the best part?

Han Shuo.

This man was head over heels from early on 😭
Like, FULL ON. No hesitation. No confusion.

👉 Loyal
👉 Protective
👉 Soft only for her
👉 A total SIMP (and I mean that in the best way possible 😂)

Watching him fall first and fall HARD while
Chen Qianqian was still stuck in “this is just a script” mode made everything even more entertaining. And when she finally realizes her feelings? That shift was so satisfying.

I even lost sleep because I was enjoying it so much 😂

If I had to point out one thing, I just wish we got more scenes in the modern world towards the end—maybe even just one full episode of them outside the script. That would’ve been perfect.

And of course, Zhao Lusi never disappoints. From Who Rules the World to Love Like the Galaxy and now this, she’s consistently amazing. I really hope she continues doing more projects (and stays healthy 💖).

So yes, others might critique the plot or say it’s predictable…

But for me?

👉 If I enjoy it, it’s a 10.
👉 And this one? Definitely a 10/10.

No explanations needed 😂

What am I supposed to do now without my weekly dose of JuniorMark?

I got so attached to them, and now it just feels empty.

I don’t even know where to start!

First of all, this post contains spoilers, so please don’t read it if you don’t want to be spoiled!The drama is incredible

the story, the music, and the acting are all top-tier.I already knew the two main actors from their previous roles in other series, but I discovered the actresses here, and they are fantastic! I was really impressed by Cheong-a’s acting quality. It’s very difficult to play roles like this, but she did it perfectly. She managed to convey so much distress in the scenes where her mother beats her, the love scenes, and the school scenes. I think we can all agree on one thing: a huge BRAVO to her for the incredible performance she delivered in this drama!! Eun-yu was also a great discovery. I didn’t know the actress before and I was really blown away by her!Now, let’s talk about the story. It’s heavily centered around the theme of deaf and mute people. I think some viewers might feel a bit hesitant in the first episode because of this theme, but from the second episode onward, you get completely hooked, and the desire to keep watching only grows stronger. Especially when it jumps to 1995. After episode 4, I was even more eager to continue.I really loved the love story between I-chan and Se-gyeong, the reason behind the creation of the music band, the jealousy and little rivalries it caused, and all the efforts I-chan made to stop his father from pursuing Se-gyeong. I enjoyed the little “war” between the three of them. There are so many great scenes!
Then there’s the adorable moment when I-chan starts developing feelings for Cheong-a after she gives him a drawing, the fax scenes, and the horrible moments where her mother makes her life miserable. Honestly, that mother drove me crazy in every scene she plays the despicable character so well!
The moment when Eun-gyeol discovers the truth about the hell she endures at home and helps her was incredibly touching! And the ending with the accident… I was completely shocked. I never saw it coming at all! I had imagined it very differently, so it was great to be surprised.Then we get the very emotional hospital scenes with Eun-yu and Se-gyeong’s father, the double moon, the choice to leave or stay, and even more heartbreaking moments at the hospital. How could you not cry?! An incredible ending. The whole family completely changes for the better it was truly WOW!!

The OSTs are amazing too. Big bravo!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA!!!

Another series I really liked has come to an end.

I actually enjoyed this more than I expected, especially since it has a university setting. It just worked better for me than I thought it would.

Now it kind of feels like I’m running out of things to watch… 😭

When Ruthlessness Finds Its Rest

After watching Zhang Linghe in POJ as all so perfect and gorgeous Marques of Wuhan here I land on The story of Kunning Palace to watch him as a red flag toxic ML with cute chubby cheeks!

While the FL often maintains a beautiful but somewhat static composure regardless of the stakes, Zhang Linghe carries the emotional weight of the show. You see ML with all varied emotions. You can feel his anger, frustration, desperation ,coldness, madness and longing to be loved .

In her second life, the Female Lead is granted the proximity to finally see the Male Lead for who he truly is. He is far from the conventional "boy next door"; he is a high-and-mighty, ruthless strategist who demands both respect and caution.

​Initially, her heart is ruled by a deep-seated fear, but as the layers of his cold exterior peel away, terror transforms into a profound, aching pity. She begins to understand the wreckage of his past and the physical and mental sickness that haunts him. What follows is not a typical fairy-tale romance, but a raw, mutual recognition of shared brokenness. Their bond becomes a transformative process—a journey where two flawed souls stop running from their shadows and instead begin the difficult, beautiful work of healing one another.

Skip if you don't want to read spoilers

I honestly feel sad that I didn’t discover Love Like the Galaxy earlier in any apps i have, I enjoyed it SO MUCH that I barely slept for two days just to finish it.

You can never really go wrong with Zhao Lusi—she was amazing as always. What surprised me the most was the tone of the drama. It had politics, but it wasn’t heavy or draining. In fact, a lot of it felt light and even comedic at times, which is so rare for a historical drama.

And can we talk about the palace characters? For the first time ever, I watched a drama where the consort and the empress weren’t toxic. Empress Xuan was so kind, understanding, and emotionally intelligent. Same with Consort Yue—calm, wise, and fair. And the emperor? 😂 He was so biased, but in a funny and lovable way. It made the whole palace dynamic feel refreshing instead of stressful.

Of course, there were still characters that tested my patience, especially the Fifth Princess and Third Princess—but thankfully, they didn’t dominate the entire story.

Ratings

* Conflict: 10/10
* Acting: 10/10
* Overall: 10/10

If I had one small issue, it would be the relationship between Cheng Shaoshang (Niaoniao) and her mother. I understand that her mother was trying to protect her, but at times it felt too overbearing, and the misunderstandings could have been resolved sooner. It was a bit sad to see Niaoniao find more comfort and motherly warmth from the empress instead of her own mother.

On the brighter side, her relationship with her father and brothers was incredibly heartwarming and refreshing. Wished there were more scenes with her family, more bonding with her brothers and father too.

I also appreciated how the drama avoided excessive toxicity and unnecessary backstabbing plots. It focused more on growth, relationships, and emotional development. Although the later part of the story became a bit heavier, it still felt meaningful.

I do wish we had more romantic scenes between Ling Buyi and Niaoniao, but overall, this was such a satisfying watch.

Final verdict: A well-balanced drama with heart, humor, and depth. Definitely one of my all time favorites.

I'm sad to writte a review for it...

Every episode were greater than the one before. I was waiting for it every week..

Duang and Qin are so cute together, they suit each other well. their personnality are so good. I love how Duang is really cringe (like the fuck you're almost barking calm down bro), he looks happy in love.
They really show deep connection and respect toward each other.

Even the friendship between all are so heartwarming.

The only flaws is why put a secondary couple if you don't want to give them screen time, not even a single kiss, nothing.
