A must WATCH!!
If you love romance, you must watch this. This drama is not slow and each episode has new twists and turns. The chemistry between leads and even second leads is phenomenal. You will even cry without realising on some scenes. It's very heartwarming drama. You can't go wrong with K drama. And they are actually married in real life.Was this review helpful to you?
Chemistry is chemistrying!!
I loved this drama, did not thought that i would & that's why keptpostponing to watch. I rea;ly liked Jisoo's acting. She portrayed the girl exactly how the character demanded- clumsy, funny, introvert. Even with all the star-studded handsome cameos acting as virtual boyfriends, nothing beats the "slow-burn" awkward workplce banter with her reallife rival, ML.their chemistry is chef's kiss, so many cute moments of them. Ml loved her secretly and was very cute in finding chances to be with her.

Young and in Love
It really is refreshing to see Almond and Progress under GMMTV—they do deserve to be in a bigger project. Their chemistry feels natural, and they slip into the roles of young lovers with ease. What I liked most was how the series didn’t just stop at romance—it also touched on the growing pains, small victories, and the messy triumphs of youth, which made it relatable. That said, I did find myself wishing for more daring storytelling. Some arcs became predictable, and a few episodes dragged, which dulled the excitement. Still, the performances carried the show, and I never felt disconnected from the characters. Overall, I’d call it a solid 3.5‑star watch—enjoyable especially if you’re in it for the charm of Almond and Progress.Was this review helpful to you?

Husbands in Action: 6/19/2026
This was a really funny movie to watch and surprisingly actually had plot. I feel like sometimes movies focus to much on comedy that that actual storyline makes no sense, but this one had a good balance. We saw tag character progress and develop but with a lot of comedic scenarios, that were actually funny. It was also cute how little team formed between the groups of people who otherwise would want nothing to do other each other.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the most beautiful coming of age series I've ever watched.
Following this series while it was airing felt like going on a nostalgic 12-week journey. I grew so attached to the characters that I ended up crying after watching the final episode. the whole series feels incredibly comforting and so easy to watch. I truly recommend it to anyone who enjoys slice-of-life and coming-of-age stories.all six main actors did an amazing job. they're all so young, yet they brought their characters to life in such a heartfelt and lovable way.
Ko Neung and Ko Song's story might seem simple at first, but I think it portrays the kind of first love that naturally grows out of a genuine friendship in a very realistic way.
I also really enjoyed watching Augar and Achi's feelings for each other slowly develop. I probably would've loved a little more development for them, but considering they're the secondary couple, I think it's understandable.
I was satisfied with the ending overall, except for Tle's absence in the final episode.
anyway, I'm going to miss these six friends so much, and I don't think I'll ever be able to eat oranges again without thinking of them.

1When you get engrossed in a story...
This drama is centred around the very particular relationship between Heo Mun O, literature university professor, and his student Kang Lee. The first one is acknowledging the writing talent of the second one, and decides to take him under his wing because of how captivated he is by his paperworks...From this premise, the drama unfold in a very gripping way, with a strong point of view, showcasing how reality and fiction can merge, and how engrossed one can be by the storytelling power of someone else. The thriller aspects of the story are quite intense, but it is the relationships dynamics and the psychological elements that are the most interesting to observe.
Acting was great, maybe the best part of the series. It was layered enough to sell the lies but also the truth, quite a feast for the viewer. A lot of the characters don't feel likeable at all, some are pitiful, some hateful: it is though to be rooting for them. However, the cast performance keeps the viewer glued to the screen, to see more of them.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a psychological thriller. My recommendation would be to go blind and to be very mindful of spoilers because this series is full of reveals and will keep you on your toes. Part of what made it so interesting was to guess what was going to happen and I am quite happy with the outcome. It was what I expected and made a lot of sense.

Mind blowing Action.
I made a huge mistake by starting this, should've started it when all the episodes were releadsed. What do i Do now? How will i wait for a week now. Once you start watching , you can't just stop. It is that amazing. season 1 was amazing and this season is on par with it.This is what we call a sequel. I even started crying at the end of 4th episode. The Action is ofcourse brilliant.Was this review helpful to you?

Once We Were Us: 7/18/2026
This movie brought me to absolute tears, the amount of thought that went into was amazing. Every little thing in this movie has a meaning, either to foreshadow something or respect something that is actively happening. Even the little things you think didn’t matter held meaning. You get actively see that past and the present, knowing their relationship didn’t last but watching them fall in love and wishing it does. Seeing the moment it shifts from being happy to something so incredibly heartbreaking, and I think what hurts most of all is that it was meant to happen. Nothing can change the ending, no going back as they have also already moved on.Was this review helpful to you?

ABO Desire: 6/22/2026 - 7/29/2026
This show was really toxic but like in a weirdly cute way. The main couple has a lot issues they lowkey need to address but they are still really cute. They also seem less toxic given the second couple who has had a lot of issues. Anyways the development of the characters was really good and I love how the romance flowed. I also love how down bad our two main characters are for each other. My only complaint is that endings were very short and rushed and I hope they do special episodes or a second season because there are a few unanswered things. Other than that the show was amazing a I really enjoyed it.Was this review helpful to you?
A strong start that lost its way
I wanted to see what all the hype was about—and honestly, I'm happy that a drama centered on ajusshis is getting this much attention. Normally, shows like this get overlooked while so many other gems fade into obscurity.The premise hooked me from the start. I really liked the story of Agent Kim trying to uncover the truth behind his daughter's disappearance, and watching the trio of former operatives work together was a lot of fun.
That said, the humor sometimes felt overdone, clashing with the otherwise serious tone. And somewhere around the halfway point, the storyline became a mess—and it only got worse from there. I pushed through to the final episode just to see how it ended, but to be honest, I didn't miss much. The pacing dragged, and the tight plot loosened into something far less engaging.
It's a shame because I really liked the cast, and the concept had so much potential. But the execution just didn't hold up. I'll probably forget this drama in a few days—it didn't stand out enough to leave a lasting impression.

The Ending Actually Makes Sense..
Oh my God, it’s been such a long time since I’ve watched a BL this interesting, intense, and well-written. 🤍• Cinematography:
One of the strongest aspects of this series was its cinematography. Every shot, every camera angle, and every lighting choice felt carefully crafted to match the psychological suspense and sci-fi atmosphere.
The visuals constantly kept me questioning what was real and what wasn’t. The soft, warm moments made you feel emotionally safe, while the darker scenes quietly built tension and confusion without feeling overwhelming. Even the transitions between reality and imagination were executed so smoothly that the cinematography itself became part of the storytelling. It wasn’t just beautiful….it was meaningful.
• Acting & Chemistry:
The performances by Great and Tyme completely elevated the series. Their acting felt incredibly natural, and their chemistry was simply unforgettable.
What impressed me the most was how believable their relationship felt. They didn’t rely on dramatic romantic scenes alone; even the smallest moments a glance, a pause, a touch, or the way they looked at each other were enough to convey love, trust, pain, and longing. Their connection felt effortless and deeply genuine.
I think this is what true acting looks like. As a straight viewer, it’s not always easy to instinctively feel the romantic intensity between two male leads. It takes exceptional performances to make the audience completely forget that they’re watching actors. Great and Tyme achieved exactly that. They didn’t just portray a couple they made me believe in their love so completely that their relationship felt real. That’s the kind of chemistry that stays with you long after the drama ends.
**SPOILER***
I know a lot of people found the storyline confusing, but I absolutely loved it because it made sense to me. My interpretation is that there was only one real timeline. The other two weren’t alternate timelines or time travel they were the final four minutes inside Great’s and Tyme’s minds before they died.
Great’s “second life” was his mind replaying everything while trying to fix the mistakes he made in reality. Then, after Tyme’s death, his own four-minute sequence was simply the life he wished he could have lived with Great if he had made different choices, like never opening his mother’s diary.
The drama’s message, to me, is that in our final moments, we imagine the life we wish we’d lived and the mistakes we wish we could undo. Because the series showed those imagined lives in so much detail and overlapped them with reality, it felt confusing at first.
Even scenes like 2nd lead hearing his dead brother’s voice while watering the plants make sense they’re echoes of reality blending into his final dream. In the real timeline, his brother was already dead.
That’s why I genuinely think there was only one real timeline. The other two existed only in their minds during those last four minutes, and that’s exactly what made this drama so brilliant.

How can an interesting concept become so boring
BoringWhen I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be some adrenaline rush Train to Busan kind of movie, but it turned out to be nothing like that.
The concept and premise was nice-mall, hive mindset, group of strangers, the generic cliche with something new, however, the director and the writer totally bombed the story in the worst possible way.
They killed the ex husband in the first half an hour which was so expected, like why. I didn't even felt bad because we couldn't even make connections to him. His family's reaction, wife and ex wife was also so lukewarm.
The characters were stupid. I think if you are making zombie movie in 2026, the characters should know what they should do since in their world also many zombie movies have come. They frozen in the worst spot, took the most stupid route and died.
I really felt this was going to be like the strangers group who work together like a team. Do we have make them stupid and narcissist in order for them to die and make scenes interesting. Like in Train to Busan, the og group were loyal to each other and still died and it felt more saddening because it was like they did everything they could but didn't won. Here it felt like, they wanted to die anyway. Their acting was bad too. The dialogues, god who wrote them. I not sure if it was translation issue or bad writing, but the dialogues were so... Unheavy? Light. Like it had no emotions.
Ugggghhh
So stupid.
Let's hope, HOPE does better than this because this sucks.
If you want to watch something zombie related that doesn't boil your blood because of stupidity, watch Happiness or Train to Busan.

A feel good series with some depth (but not that much)...
When "New Sijaw" is directing there is always a chance that it gets very childish and cringe - see "Fourever You Part 1 or "Perfect 10 Liners"". But to my surprise he did not direct it that way. It's of course a bit childish, because they are 15,16 when the show starts (10th grade)... but mostly not in a cringe way.It's a typical summer series, just giving off good vibes, no excessive drama and the "gay" topic does only appear once even when the series is played out in the 90ties (and they found working phones from that time). Production quality was very good as expected and the OST was really good.
So there is not much to say about the series besides that I found it to be pleasant.
But we also have to talk about GMMTV, the most unprofessional company in the thai entertainment industry. First we have to talk about Justin Angus Moir (who's partner disappeared in the finale which was a bummer). Yes Justin posted a lot of shit on twitter but it's unimagable for me, that GMMTV did never know about it. GMMTV failed completely, first a 13 year old boy posting such shit needs help from his parents (I don't know what they did, except not deleting the posts), caunceling sessions/therapist. Most youth post shit, because they have no clue what they are posting... they find it funny, post it and have no idea how that post could be interpreted. So I give him the benefit of a doubt that he was just a stupid kid. Regardless, when GMMTV saw value in him und signed a contract with his parents, they should do due dilligence. That's what my brain tells me without needing to study business administration. So they should have deleted the posts (before announcing), they should have talked to his parents - because clearly they failed - and they should send him to counciling/therapy. But what does GMMTV do? They just kicked him out, because Justin is a nobody, does not bring in money (he first needs investment) and it was the easiest way out, compared to telling the public that they failed and that Justin will remove the posts and that he does not homophobic or misogynistic thoughts anymore, because he got help - that would have been the more unpopular move but the right one. GMMTV signed a contract with his parents (and him) and didn't check his social media profiles? When Joss followed Trump and another right wing - he just removed the follows, said nothing and nothing else happenend. And there was also the tasteless prank on women with Zee before he even joined GMMTV. But of course Joss will not be fired, because he brings profit for the company. But the internet does not forget.
Meanwhile there was also a controversy about a chinese fan who got too close at a fan-meeting and it got rowdy. GMMTV had not hired security because that costs money and of course they must optimize for profits. GMMTV statements are typical corporate speech which says nothing. Chinese fangroups say they will boycott everything GMMTV. I would say - well deserved. And everyone who says, it will not do much harm for GMMTV, they forget that China is by far the biggest market for BLs (fanmeets, concerts, merch - which is what makes them money). GMMTV is a disgrace as an artist managment. Two days ago a chinese fangirl followed Mark into the GMM Grammy building and filmed him in the elevator. Why can fans enter this elevevator and why do they not have security in house who protect their artists? Ah yes, I forgot, it costs money. In the third statement after that incident they said they will take legal action - that should have happened immediately. GMMTV does not get it's shit together and that after years of incident after incident.
Sorry this rant had to be in. Not proactive protecting their artists is a no go. It does not influence my rating for this series of course, It just influences what I think about them and they are the lowest of all companies in the thai entertainment industry so far. Going back to the topic, it's a nice series to watch, but don't expect something too deep but for what it is, it's good.

Muito bom, mas não é perfeito
Pursuit of Jade começa bem forte e cativante graças ao carisma imenso da história e dos protagonistas; principalmente da Changyu, que é uma personagem incrível, forte e determinada (amo protagonistas assim), e do Xie Zheng, que também é excelente. Me diverti e surtei demais assistindo, e a química do casal é maravilhosa.Minha única ressalva é quanto ao ritmo. A primeira metade, até por volta do episódio 30, foi infinitamente superior e muito mais cativante. Os episódios finais acabaram enfraquecendo um pouco a obra porque concentraram praticamente toda a resolução da trama política neles, o que deixou o ritmo um pouco maçante, além de dar a sensação de que alguns acontecimentos foram cortados pelo caminho. E eu, como uma pessoa simples, senti falta de mais cenas do casal e de um pouco mais de equilíbrio nessa reta final.
Ainda assim, foi uma ótima experiência e um bom cdrama. O casal entrega muito e, no fim, eu curti bastante assistir.
