SKYNANI NEVER LET ME DOWN AHHHHHH
This is their second series together and MY GOD its amazing!!Ive read a bit of the novel and damn they really stuck to it all and its amazing how the story progress soo nicely
Every action and every plot makes soo much sense to happen due to how the story progress
It ensures that every part of the story doesnt just suddenly come, you can see little hints of things that will be needed to be solved episodes and chapters prior to the incident happening (theres a lot of easter eggs and mysteries you can conspires over hehe 😜)
The whole story was really well put together and really well thought, not just random sub plot put into one series
OVERALL?!?! GO WATCH IT FR YOU GUYS ARE GONNA LOVE IT!!!

The horror of everything being filmed, with these ratings one would think that the series won at least 5 Oscars, when, however, in Asia it cannot come close to the film award

weak plot but fun/entertaining to watch overall
its honestly a great drama. there was romance, comedy, and suspense- all of which were alright. but ofc there were some aspects which i wished they went into more depth and def some plotholes for but i mean, the actors all did well and it was fun to watch overall.i can see that the main production effort was given to the cast and the plot was somewhat interesting but lacking in many ways. execution in general was also pretty bad lol... one thing that ticked me off from start to finish was iu's nails... the nail artist needs to be fired and blacklisted asap.
i really enjoyed the romance between the second couple. it was really entertaining to watch. i've always enjoyed watching yoo soobin and lee yeon in dramas and this was no exception.
the cast's acting was just insane. gong seungyeon's acting... phew it was spectacular. and byeon wooseok (fine shyt) and iu's chemistry was through the roof! the young king was great too! such a cutie patootie
anyways, its overall a great drama tbh. nothing groundbreaking in terms of the plot but it was definitely entertaining. i can def see myself going back to rewatch certain scenes of the drama.
im not mad about it at all. if anything, i really enjoyed this drama. it doesn't deserve the hate its getting tbh. ofc, its not the best but it was fun to watch and not too stressful. a perfect romance drama to binge.
p.s. i loved the ost for this drama they were all bangers def adding to my everyday playlist

More than what I expected.
This show was super well acted by all involved, but especially our leading men.I've watched them before, so I knew they had the acting chops to take on these roles - and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't going to the silly-eque show it looked to be.
This show had such emotional depth and dealt with a serious subject but not in the heaviest way.
It made for a great change from the regular "meet-cute" dramas of couples coming together, to have a couple that was already established on episode one. Not only that, there was no love rival! the plotline centered solely on their past traumas.
An all around good watch.

Delusa ma poteva andare peggio
Sono una grande fan della prima stagione nonostante ritengo che abbia i suoi difetti ma rimane secondo me un bel drama.Di conseguenza ero molto curiosa di questa seconda stagione, anche grazie alla scelta del cast che è ottima e l'idea presentata mi ispirava. Per i primi 4 episodi mi stava anche piacendo molto a parte qualche criticità a livello di regia di cui magari vi parlerò meglio dopo, andando avanti però la storia ha iniziato sempre di più a convincermi meno fino addirittura ad annoiarmi e a diventare una tortura settimanale. La trama diventa troppo banale, piatta e poco coraggiosa in confronto la prima stagione e oserei dire anche un pochino forzata in alcuni punti.
Voglio entrare leggermente nello specifico ma prima partirei dalle cose positive per poi andare in quelle negative.
Il pregio più grande di questa seconda stagione è il cast! Bravissimi tutti, perfetti per i loro ruoli e ottima chimica e secondo me si nota anche che il regista sia anche un acting coach e li ha preparati bene per le scene. In particolare vorrei fare una menzione d'onore a Mix che a mio parere è stato magistrale nei panni di Dean (spoiler: è anche il mio personaggio preferito della stagione), è un attore che apprezzo dal debutto ma penso che qui abbia fatto un salto di livello superiore dal punto di vista recitativo.
L'idea è un altro elemento positivo, decidere di svolgere questa stagione nel mondo del teatro, degli attori quindi competizione e tanti altri temi che porta questo mondo come anche il fanservice è perfetto a mio parere, peccato che è bella solo l'idea perchè lo sviluppo meno.
La regia non è male ma in alcuni punti si nota che è acerba in confronto la prima che avevamo Jojo, devo dire che la sua mancanza si è sentita molto sia alla regia che alla sceneggiatura. La cosa che mi ha dato maggiormente fastidio della regia è il compartimento musica, a mio parere spesso troppo alta in alcune scene e anche poco adatte alla situazione questo faceva si che mi distraessi e che non riuscissi a immergermi nelle emozioni che voleva scatenare quella scena.
Passiamo alle cose negative che purtroppo sono di più, cosa è andato storto secondo me?
1) Banale e piatto, nonostante la bella idea e la possibilità di poter creare veramente tanti intrighi e inciuci non necessariamente romantici il tutto viene gestito in modo poco originale e articolato.
Ad esempio, Pete lui diventata il cattivo della situazione nella seconda parte del drama, peccato che l'abbiamo capito subito quindi niente effetto sorpresa e tutta l'attesa nel capire chi fosse stato una grandissima noia. Drammi inutili ovvero forzati e che quindi non mi intrigavano ma solo farmi chiedere cosa stessi vedendo e ancora noia. Diventa quasi ripetitivo e alla fine dei conti accade poco di interessante. Quando potevano esplorare tanto l'aspetto per esempio della competizione e l'invidia tra Dean e Raffy invece solo qualcosina all'inizio ma nulla di che. Oppure il fanservice e il quasi tradimento che potevano esplorare di più e osando un pò ma non accade letteralmente nulla e quel dramma che sia crea risulta solo esagerato e da qui mi aggancio al secondo punto.
2) Poco coraggio, in confronto la prima stagione è come se avessero avuto paura gli sceneggiatori di osare ma questo secondo me è stato il danno maggiore per la trama. Tra Dean e Arnold non accade nemmeno un bacio ma poi hanno creato una situazione come se fosse accaduto ma risultava così esagerato, ora non dico che dovevano fare tante scene spicy e di bacio ma un minimo si perchè è una caratteristica della serie sono proprio gl inciuci e i casini che si creano a causa di questo, se mi togli tutto ciò che è un elemento principale la trama ne risente. Ho preso come esempio loro due ma ho notato questa cosa in varie situazioni come anche il finale, l'happy ending tra Dean e Jack a mio parere è assurdo mentre nella prima avevamo Nick e Boston che giustamente non sono finiti insieme ed era realistico e giusto così.
3) Lo sviluppo, tempistiche, secondo me in alcune coppie si è andati spediti come Arnold e Tua e poi però in alcuni punti non accadeva nulla quindi risultavano noiosi e mentre Raffy e Rome slow burn però fatto male perchè personalmente non ho capito quando Raffy si sia innamorato, sembra come se si fosse svegliato improvvisamente da un giorno all'altro e soprattutto troppo tardi. Dean e Jack alti e bassi ma di loro la cosa che critico di più è il finale.
4) Cos'è successo a Boston? Esattamente perchè l'hanno ammorbidito ed è diventato il cupido della situazione? Questa cosa non l'ho capita e soprattutto non apprezzata, mi hanno rovinato il personaggio che secondo me nella prima stagione è uno dei migliori. Talmente è snaturato che non mi arrabbiavo nemmeno quando spuntava mentre nella prima appena compariva dovevo farmi una camomilla. Ecco posso dire che mi è mancato un personaggio come Boston, non pensavo che l'avrei mai detto ma questa stagione è esente di un pg così ed è un peccato.
Ora giusto per essere ancora più pignoli non mi hanno entusiasmato nemmeno i cameo! Scritti con superficialità anche se capisco che alla fine sono giusto per accontentare i fan però mi aspettavo di meglio, invece fortunatamente sono rimasta molto soddisfatta del cameo di Nick, questo scritto bene e soddisfacente direi che ci voleva proprio, la degna conclusione.
Ora dalla mia recensione sembra che mi abbia fatto schifo come drama ma in realtà no, solo ho trovato molte problematiche e questo mi ha delusa, tuttavia poteva andare anche peggio e alcune cose sono comunque carine.
Sinceramente a questo punto non so se voglio una terza stagione, anche se devo ammettere che l'entrata in scena di Great mi ha incuriosito e poi il concept della serie mi piace ma se dovessero farla spero in un risultato migliore e magari in un ritorno di Jojo.

ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat
A 5 usuarios les ha parecido útil esta reseña
literally, the heart skips a beat.
AHHHHHHH where do i even begin???everything about this series is perfect. WilliamEst you have my heart. take it!
i loved how, the band was the main character in this series. the motto wasn't ThamePo falling in love, but Mars staying together.
everything else fell into place as that became a reality.
i loved how they showed each band member's position, inhibitions, fears, and reactions.
Est's acting left me crying and blushing at multiple times!!
as a one direction fan, I've known the realities of music industries and this series was really bold at calling them out. not just the people in suits but the fandom as well.
that was a BOLD move, that it isn't always the people behind the scenes that makes boy band culture like that.
overall, there is not one dull moment in this series <3

Narcotics Crime, Strong Chemistry, and Frustrating Characters
Highs and Lows offers a refreshing take on TVB crime dramas by shifting its focus to the narcotics division rather than the usual murder centered investigations. This change in perspective makes the series feel different from typical police procedurals, as it explores the complexities and dangers of drug enforcement work.The story highlights the challenges faced by officers dealing with drug trafficking networks, undercover operations, and the moral pressures that come with this line of duty. Instead of relying solely on whodunit murder mysteries, the drama builds tension through drug related cases and the psychological strain placed on both law enforcement and those entangled in the drug world.
One of the strongest aspects of the series is the chemistry between Happy and Gordon. Their trust, partnership, and emotional connection make their dynamic especially compelling. As viewers, you can genuinely feel the weight of their decisions and the tension in their relationship as they navigate difficult and often dangerous situations together.
However, Helen’s character can be quite divisive. She often comes across as hypocritical and overly critical of Gordon, which can make some of her storylines frustrating to watch. For some viewers, this dynamic may have been more enjoyable with a different portrayal or a different direction for the character.
Overall, Highs and Lows stands out not only for its unique focus within the crime genre but also for its strong character relationships that add emotional depth to the intense storyline.

Parallel world lover turned stalker
the plot of parallel worlds seemed SOOO intriguing to me, that even after seeing it fail, i was holding onto it.the acting and chemistry was top notch, as always, which makes this series watchable and enjoyable.
but there are moments when even the chemistry can't save it.
personality felt the whole plot of the revengeful family could've been avoided. it added nothing to the story.
having said that, i wish they showed more of those psychosis parallel world and 2nd Cirrus moments. they really were adding that psychological thriller feel to it! loved the ones that were already there!
overall, it was a good series with the potential to be MINDBLOWING. <3

At the same time, the growing bond between Yiu Lap Tin and Sit Chi Yiu adds an emotional layer that makes their journey even more compelling. Their relationship develops naturally through shared grief, trust, and the long process of uncovering the truth.
Overall, the drama is both engaging and heartfelt, with a strong balance between its investigative storyline and emotional romance. The mystery is what pulls you in, but the evolving connection between the two leads is what makes it memorable.

Top-notch production. Even with cops chatting away in offices, it manages to stay dynamic and quite engaging. The C-dramas are brilliant. It works both as a light-hearted comedy and as a police investigation. It probably didn’t need 24 episodes, given that you can guess very quickly who killed whom.
And naturally, there’s no criticism of Chinese police corruption, as the Chinese police claim they’re beyond reproach in every respect. (ACAB everywhere, all the time)
I don’t know why the music had to keep parodying Georges Bizet’s ‘L’amour est enfant de Bohème’ or Dvořák’s ‘New World Symphony’. I just don’t get it.
After "Pursuit of Jade", it feels strange to see Tian Xi Wei in a supporting role like this. She’s so discreet and flawless.

An effort to cover up the bad plot with NCs. No amount of dmd actors can save this one.
I didn't have much expectations from this cz the trailer itself didn't seem wow and it had tutoryim in it. Knowing their previous records i think BOW was their best series which was average and i had to force myself to finish it. Not gonna do that again i am dropping this one😅😅 i shouldn't hv doubted the comments and tried it out. They're not lying.- When the episode started i thought Yim had this badass character compared to the nerd character we usually see but then once he met tutor that changed🙄 he went back to his usual.
- the ex's punch is barely visible. Who the hell did the makeup😆 i was looking for the bruise for a while
- the entire meeting between the 2 feels odd and weird not like fated or anything barely any spark
- when the hell did tutor even fall for yim? Like i didn't see it not even in that weird fight they had when they met
- yim's character was supposed to be someone hurt by his ex but it looked like he didn't care at all he's hooking up the day after breakup🙄 n with a stranger who he told can't be his fated partner
- Tutor looks rich??? Bro looks like a broke teacher or writer. The styling is off or confusing i am not sure.
- the background noises were overused like every 2 sec there's a ting
Overall there's nothing i liked felt like they just used NC n some dirty slangs to cover up the terrible plot. Even the next episode preview served nothing. I thought I'd watch it cz i saw badass yim and jimmyohm but no this is pure torture😅. Someone needs to get them better stories. I wasted an hour with this.

I'm pleasantly surprised
This drama is so much better than you first think. It's more than a regular Xianxia. It has multiple layers. It's poetic, it's morals and ethics, it's the human condition, etc. Okay, it's a slightly uneven drama in terms of plot and quality, but it still has so many scenes that touch deeply, so it makes up for it. The music is good and gives additional emotion to the scenes. The drama is also aesthetically beautiful. The actors do very good work. Episodes 21-40 are better than episodes 1-20. I'm pleasantly surprised by Fate chooses you.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Beautiful martial arts choreography
The Master of Tai Chi stands out more for its action than its storytelling. The plot itself may feel less engaging or not as compelling, depending on personal taste, and it does not always carry the strongest emotional or narrative drive throughout the series.However, where the drama truly shines is in its martial arts choreography. The fighting scenes are beautifully executed, well filmed, and highly polished for a TVB production. The Tai Chi techniques are showcased in a visually impressive way, with smooth, flowing movements that highlight both skill and discipline. These action sequences are clearly the highlight of the series and often carry the viewing experience on their own.
Overall, while the story may not resonate strongly, The Master of Tai Chi is still worth watching for its outstanding fight choreography and its focus on traditional martial arts aesthetics.
