Alien acting
A veteran Korean actor, Lee Dong-hwi, plays a version of himself with the same name Lee Dong-hwi. Interestingly, I recently watched a similar movie about another actor, Jung Woo, and the acting world. This film is a self-reflective comedy about the life of an actor. It shows the main actor’s vulnerability and honesty.I love Korean movies, but I often struggle with Korean comedies. They usually carry a good message, and this movie is no exception. However, the jokes often didn’t land well for me. I only laughed twice — once at a fart joke and once at a sandwich scene. The rest of the time, it felt overly silly, with too much yelling that was uncomfortably loud on my speakers rather than funny or entertaining. Oh, and I also laughed at the post-credit scene at the end.
The movie uses the analogy of acting as an alien character to represent feeling alien to your own life. It explores what happens when acting becomes your life and your life becomes acting. We all play certain roles in life, and we need the wisdom to stay true to ourselves.

Their acting saved the series.
When episodes 1–3 were released, I was super excited about this series. I kept rewatching those episodes over and over. But honestly, the story became a little messy near the end. Then again, I'm always extra hyped when one of my favorite actors is part of the cast.Milk, Love, Namtan, Film, View, and Mim were incredible in their roles. ShashaGorya was my favorite pairing because their relationship felt really interesting to me. Their performances made the story much better, even when the plot started to feel a bit all over the place.

The plot adds up, the writing is good, and the whole story is messed up in a good way which makes everyone excited. the OST gives me chills, i got it on repeat rn! I love the acting of sophies mom, its something new in a way with the exagerrated tantrum. BelleEarn, their story hasnt gone exactly too deep in terms of romance but theres so much lore that connects, so ready to see their messy relationship. JANENANO MY BABIESSSS, ENEMIES TO LOVERS!!!

Started Strong, Lost Momentum + Terrible Chemistry
I really liked this show when it started and it's such a shame to see it lose momentum like this.It's so many things that I can't mention to avoid spoilers but one big one would be WHERE IS THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE ML AND FL?? The romance part of this story is not getting to me at all.
And the plot stake too isn't high enough to keep viewers curious. I almost want to say it makes no sense yet and we are at the seventh episode.
Lol idk I'm dropping it but you can watch it if you want.

comfort show
I know a lot of people find it boring but in my honest opinion i'm able to rewatch this show like hundreds of times no matter the flaws. I really liked the chemistry and the silliness, the way aylin is portrayed throughout the show, ongsas loser personality, it's really just a quirky show. But there are a lot of issues portrayed within the show like online identity and misunderstandings. musics good, pretty peak to my ears, this was also my first official GL which is probably why i feel so at ease with it¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

Good start, ended up slop....
I mean it wasnt that bad, i would rewatch this in my free time (mostly bc of the cast)The writing:
The writing was honestly slop, i could tell everything was not very organised, project was a low budget...
The Music:
-I watched it during premier BRO THE OPENING IS SO SHIT WHY GMMTV WHAT IS THIS BUDGET
-Something New (viewmim) was the best OST imo, had it on repeat in my free time
-music wasnt bad overall except goddamn girl rules opening
The Casting/Acting
-the cast was actually really good, if it wasnt them i woulda stopped watching already
-film portrayed bambis mental health REALLY good, loved her crying scenes brought me pluto flashbacks lol
-I liked milks acting, i think it was episode 8 she did a great job and bringing discomfort
Fave cp: MilkLove/shashagorya
-I actually really liked the pacing of shashagorya, it gave me nolstalgia, i really wish they put more effort nearing the end Viewmim/minpraew Awesome chem, my girls deserve the spotlight, althought as the story progressed they didnt have much lore to the show
Namtanfilm/primbambi: their acting was nice, their story was nice in the first half but then it was more like "fighting then solve it with making out"

Best cdrama I've watched to date.
Nobody prepared me for this intense almost real life storyline. I mean you get acting but these actors were so insync that it made it impossible to differentiate acting from reality, not just the leads but even the support. The music just added to the intensity. My only disappointment is that the app i used did not allow me to turn off audio subtitles so i missed quite a bit of the lead actors dialog because the music played mostly through their scenes. Overall, one of the best I've watched and I only watch Cdramas, Jdramas and Kdramas eventhough English is my home language. ❣️❣️❣️¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

Product placement in the form of mermaid drama. Compact & fun!
I am writing two-series reddit posts about mini dramas and vertical dramas with mermaid & merman trope. This drama is one of them. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this very short drama.What I liked:
1. Plot - Compact and well-written for a product placement. I was amazed.
2. Acting - Good performances by the four leads and this is a mobile phone ad. The two leading ladies were very charming.
3. Fantasy - I loved the elements presented here as they were refreshing. No tears that turn to pearls.
4. Dynamics - I enjoyed the contrasting dynamics between Shi Yue and Bai Yu (sismance), between Bai Yu and An Xu Guang and between him and Shi Yue. The latter involved cute rivalry & banter.
5. Styling - I really liked the green highlights worn by Qin Xie Xie. Yang Yang looked handsome ethereal in white / silver wig. Overall the outfits worn by the cast were visually appealing.
6. FLs - Wonderfully written. They were smart & compassionate.
7. Length - This was perfect for a short video promoting a mobile phone. No complaints.
8. ML - There was more focus on his crush on Bai Yue than on his work but hey I enjoyed his arc.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - He was evil & power hungry.
Favourite scene
When ML found out that Bai Yu was visiting him

Star stunning cast, wattpad fiction plotting!
As one of, if not the most anticipated romance drama with a star studded cast and a promising summary, let's rip the bandaid off with my honest opinion of finishing Perfect Crown.With a wattpad-esque premise of a rich business woman and the charming bachelor prince, it was right up my alley. IU and Byeon Woo Seok was an interesting pairing, and I will actually point towards the pacing and plot as two of the issues for the show.
The visuals are very much stunning and grand, but the pacing is sacrificed for long montages or clips that do nothing to evolve the storyline. K-dramas are known for long scenes where the charaters just stare at each other, so it felt somewhat nostalgic to have a feeling of watching a drama from ten years ago. Long montages of walking, dressing up or walking into parties are part of showing the worldbuilding, but it suffers when the characters, nor the plot, haven't been built up to stand on their own.
It was actually all fine until the last couple episodes of the show. Multiple attempted murder-plots, a super villain rising under the original "villain" as well as the political tension regarding the main couples romance just snowballed into an absurd mess. All of the actors did a splendid job with what they had, the camera team as well! It felt absurd, and especially IUs character that was supposed to be a badass, cold-hearted business woman failed to assure me of the character the writers had started the show with.
Whilst I enjoyed the wardrobe of the Queen Mother and the Prince, our main lead IU had a somewhat turbulent fashion that made me question their mood board for her characters fashion sense. Whilst it felt like a fashion take made to withstand the era of 2026, it felt somewhat outdated in certain choices.
Is this a bad show? Not by any means (if you count anything except the beige press on nails IU had on for the entirety of the show that did not even fit her nails). You can see how much effort they put into the production, visuals and the outcome. Did it somewhat feel like a story of a k-drama from 2016? Absolutely. I was here for a good time, which ended with a lukewarm fanfic-esque ending (and a rage regarding ill-fitting press on nails on lead actors!)

ma serie refuge ..
plus je regarde des séries plus je m’aperçois que les séries que je préfère sont celles où il y a de vrais interconnexions entre divers personnages au sein d’un village, je m’amuse à regarder les petites querelles de village, les amours naissants, les dissensions , les disputes et comme dans le village de Astérix, tout le monde se réconcilie autour d’un bon repas, et bien WELCOME TO SAM DALRI C’edt un peu cela, 2 personnes qui se connaissent depuis l’enfance , l’un qui aime tellement son village qu’il ne voudra pas le quitter , l’autre qui a mal vecu son enfance dans cette île et ne rêve que de partir, les années font qu’ils tombent amoureux x mais la fin des études décidera de la suite des événements , cela fera des heureux et des malheureux …j’aime tellement cette serie que je l’ai vu 2 fois et ça me va, j’espère un jour pouvoir le montrer à ma femme.
je vous recommande donc cette serie exceptionnelle,
au fait ?!? quelqu’un peut il me dire si SHIN HYE SUN a deja jour dans un serie ratée ???? j’en doute …

Better spend your 2 hours for something else
Suffer the same plot holes and idiotic moments as every other zombie themed shows that predate it.Zero story and very weak characters. It's just a fast pace of events showing a small group of people running from the zombies, while occassionally getting into heated arguments and do stupid shit that get them killed.
Film maker told us that she's supposed to be a reknown bio-tech professor, but they failed miserably to deliver that premise at all. It's a shame really.
Having Jun Ji-Hyun and Ji Chang-Wook as the main casts ain't gonna save this garbage.
1 star rating from me.

La fin de la vengeance chère !
Deux ans d'attente interminable pour la suite de Gedou no Uta en drama. Ce manga en 15 volumes, dont DMM TV voulait faire l'une de ses séries phares en 2024, a pris son temps pour nous offrir une conclusion aux événements de l'épisode 6 de la première saison. Au moins, les plus impatients auront pu feuilleter l'œuvre de Watanabe Daisuke, parue en 2016.Pour fêter les dix ans du manga, DMM TV nous livre donc une nouvelle fournée de six épisodes, à regarder avec le plus grand esprit critique possible. L'ultra-violence et les scènes insoutenables sont bien de retour, mais le propos sur la vengeance et la justice prend une nouvelle dimension avec l'omniprésente Congrégation du Petit-Déjeuner.
Alors que Kamo et Tora rendaient leur justice de manière presque artisanale, voilà qu'apparaît une sombre organisation de rang mondial, décidant en son sommet qui mérite ou non de mourir. La saison relègue alors Sonoda et la vengeance qui l'accompagne au second plan. Après la question « Peut-on se substituer à la justice ? », la série nous demande désormais : « Peut-on déléguer sa vengeance à une multinationale? »
Cette loi du talion vendue au Prisunic pousse Kamo à s'interroger sur ses propres actes et lui confère une humanité qui contraste avec les agissements sans âme de cette pieuvre tentaculaire. Si tous ses membres sont devenus des exécutants par désespoir, victimes inconsolables d'un drame, chacun semble avoir perdu l'idéal qui a présidé à sa création. Argent, pouvoir, influence : plus rien ne semble réellement différencier cette organisation d'une mafia.
Le personnage magistralement interprété par Baba Fumika prend alors une toute nouvelle dimension et s'impose comme la véritable star de la saison. Minami Sara, pourtant présentée un temps comme le troisième membre de la librairie, est finalement très peu présente à l'écran. Des personnages hauts en couleur lui volent constamment la vedette.
Mizobata Junpei est glaçant de froideur, mais également touchant face à une Ano qui cache particulièrement bien son jeu. La plupart des épisodes sont consacrés à expliquer les liens entre les différents protagonistes. À travers flashbacks et révélations, l'aide apportée aux victimes se réduit comme peau de chagrin dans cette saison 2. Il semble bien loin le temps où chaque épisode était consacré à une victime avant de se conclure par une mise à mort des plus sordides.
Cette deuxième saison répond à de nombreuses questions, mais son format nous laisse une nouvelle fois sur notre faim. Si de nouveaux grands antagonistes apparaissent, laissant la porte ouverte à une suite, elle tente également de conclure certains arcs narratifs de manière trop expéditive.
On attendait davantage de mystère autour de Sonoda, dévoilé jusque-là à doses homéopathiques et nous invitant sans cesse à réfléchir sur sa personnalité. Malheureusement, quelques maladresses dans sa conclusion viennent gâcher une partie de notre plaisir malsain de voyeurs.
La série reste déconseillée aux moins de 16 ans. Toujours dérangeante, elle continue d'interroger notre rapport à la justice et à la violence. Elle s'autorise également quelques tranches de vie réjouissantes entre nos deux justiciers et leur fille adoptive.
On oublie souvent de le rappeler, mais Gedou no Uta est aussi une série sur la famille. Kamo retrouve une certaine stabilité auprès de Tora et de Nanako, qu'il considère comme sa propre famille. D'autres cellules familles sont abordées, souvent dysfonctionnelles, parfois mafieuses. Mais au bout du compte, la famille reste la famille.

Un'opera che di credibile ha solo la locandina
In questo Drama ci sono una caterva di eventi non credibili che buttano alle ortiche una storia che poteva anche essere bella. Due ragazze identiche che vivono nello stesso posto e non si sono mai incontrate. Tra l'altro la sosia povera lavora nel centro commerciale di uno dei protagonisti. Senza contare che la sosia ricca è figlia di un politico, per cui è abbastanza in vista, eppure nessuno si è accorto che è la fotocopia dell'altra. Nemmeno gli amici, i colleghi e i parenti se ne sono mai accorti. Ma dove vivono in un bunker? Va bè.Qualche sprazzo di follia senza spoiler:
Incidente da una scogliera, arriva Mich di beaywatc che salva la ragazza (ma da dove è sbucato fuori da un sottomarino????). Poi c'è il medico che pratica l'ipnosi, il cattivo di turno che pare 007 con videocamere piazzate ovunque che può addirittura congelare i conti a nome di altri, la sorella del protagonista che in abito viola si volta e magicamente nessuno la vede (è uno struzzo evidentemente). E dulcis in fundo, 3 coppie sposate che vivono tutti nella stessa casa e vanno a dormire in camicia e pantaloni eleganti. Eddai datemi tregua!!
Datemi la possibilità di guardare una serie senza dovermi chiedere in continuazione: com'è possibile?
Passiamo ai personaggi:
Di 007 abbiamo già parlato. È dio in terra, il classico cattivo che non né sbaglia una. Anche quando sembra cadere sotto c'è il materasso. Se ci fosse un'esplosione lui ne uscirebbe con gli abiti intatti che non puzzano nemmeno di fumo.
Il protagonista, sarà il ruolo da piangina, ma ha perennemente la faccia da triglia e scatti d'ira incontrollati. Diciamo che non è proprio il personaggio per cui fai il tifo.
La sorella di lui, oltre ad avere la sindrome di Stoccolma, è il sesamo sul panino fino a metà serie: se c'è o non c'è non te ne accorgi. Poi diventa un pungitopo, continua a non servire a niente ma è pericolosa.
La protagonista è quella che salva un po' la baracca con una buona interpretazione delle due sosia, perché di fatto è sempre lei. L'unica luce in una stanza buia ma è oggettivamente troppo poco.
Il risultato finale è robetta da 4 soldi in stile soap che non lascia molto. E tra l'altro 20 episodi sono troppi. Non mi sento però di bocciarla in toto perché la storia c'era. È stata gestita male ecco, per cui voto 6,5.

the fog that never lifts
there's a difference between disappearing and dissolving. when someone dies of old age, illness, accident they disappear. they vanish from the world all at once and leave a hole in the exact shape of the person they were. but when someone is executed for having the wrong thoughts, for dreaming of a different world, for daring to imagine that person doesn't disappear. they dissolve. they become fog. they become the air other people breathe without knowing where it came from.the film follows one impossible week in the life of a girl who traveled to taipei to retrieve her brother's body. but what chen yu-hsun understands and this is what separates a good film from a film that stays with you is that the body was never the point. the body is just the reason yue leaves home. what she finds along the way is something else entirely: a world that punishes memory, that charges you for the right to grieve, that turns mourning into bureaucracy and pain into a fee. taipei isn't a city in this film. it's a system. and the system has no interest in letting you hold onto who you lost.
but people find a way. they always do. chao kung-tao is proof of that a broken man who still extends his hand, not out of pure kindness but for the most human reason possible: he's been in the hole before and he knows what it feels like. the connection between the two of them isn't pretty or clean. it's necessary. and necessity, in this film, is worth more than anything.
fifty years later yue is still looking. not for her brother she knows where he is. she's looking for the week she survived, the man who helped her survive it, the version of herself that held the watch with both hands and kept walking even without knowing where she was going. trauma doesn't go away. it just learns to live inside you quietly.
the fog never lifts. but with time you learn to see through it.

The First Frost: A Healing Drama That Made Sang Yan My Standard
It's been quite a long time since I last watched Chinese dramas. I've mostly been watching K-dramas, but lately many of them have started to feel repetitive, so I decided to switch to Chinese dramas for a change. Also, there haven't been many new dramas from the actors I usually like.I ended up watching The First Frost because I was drawn to the visuals of the lead actor and actress on the poster. Before this, I didn't know either Bai Jingting or Zhang Ruonan, so I watched it with no bias or expectations at all. Since this was the first drama I'd seen featuring them, I could judge it purely on its own merits.
Their acting was truly amazing.I was so captivated by Bai Jingting's detailed and nuanced acting that I can't even imagine anyone else playing Sang Yan. His performance was incredibly convincing and brought the character to life in such a natural way.
The way he portrayed Sang Yan was so good that Sang Yan has become my ideal standard. I genuinely feel that the acting was exceptional, and he delivered one of the best performances I've seen.
I also think the story is an excellent healing drama. It delivers comfort and emotional healing in a very meaningful way.
I believe that if someone had a person who loved them the way Sang Yan loves Wen Yifan, they could eventually overcome all the difficulties and trauma they had experienced in life, just as Wen Yifan did. The drama made me feel that genuine love, support, and understanding can help a person heal and move forward from even their deepest emotional wounds.
