⚠️ warning SA. There's a first for everything

First time in my life I'd rather the mc end up with a man.
I don't like Nop, he's annoying and using sun for his own gain, but you know what he didn't do so far ? Rªpe her.
I cannot believe this drama is trying to make it look like it's nothing, like Sun wasn't crying and begging for Flint to stop before giving up and saying okay to avoid being hurt further. She has now assaulted both twins in the same evening and no consequences were given whatsoever.
I'm not done with the show yet and I'll finish it just because the cast is doing a good job (and I will never get over it if I don't finish it) but I would have stopped if I could because I've seen all the comments saying this never gets properly addressed or punished.
From all the drama you can see in fandoms, about who kisses how and who looks gay enough for people, I've seen almost nothing about this despite the very bad representation it gives. What a joke the glspace is.
My only hope now is that the secondary couple will be developed enough (it looks like it so far) that I will at least have a good time with them.

Beautifully and thoughtfully made, handled with the utmost care and respect.

Every scene captures exactly the emotions it intends to convey.
Fourth&Gemini have always been exceptional, but this is undoubtedly their best performance yet.Their acting feels so natural&emotionally honest that every feeling reaches beyond the screen and straight to your heart.You don’t just watch the story—you feel it,The butterflies,the LOVE,the spark,the tension,
the struggles,the fear,the nervousness,the joy,the infatuation,the sadness,the guilt,the longing—every emotion is delivered with remarkable sincerity,making it impossible not to be completely immersed.

This series is so beautiful, so meaningful, so FULL OF LOVE.

I started watching this with zero expectations, but surprisingly, it's so entertaining!

I am deeply impressed by the eldest sister and the Tanhua scholar (the third-place imperial graduate) couple. Initially, he felt forced into the marriage, yet he actually adores every single one of her qualities—whether it's managing the household, painting, calligraphy, or taking excellent care of both his mother and himself. When he faces danger, she also comes up with great ideas to help him. She is such an impressive, wonderful woman. However, because it was sort of an arranged marriage combined with a last-minute bride swap, he felt cornered and showed signs of resistance. Seeing him come back to win her over after surviving his ordeal is absolutely adorable.

The court debate scene regarding filial piety and parental debt serves as a perfect slap in the face to a dysfunctional Confucian society that degrades women. It makes me feel that Confucius had a terrible personality and a lot of complexes to have despised women and suppressed them to such a low status.

Pure unadulterated satisfaction - A masterclass in bully busting

What goes around, comes around. If you have ever sat through a drama or a real-life news report watching abusers, corrupt figures, and bullies get away with absolute murder, Teach You a Lesson is the exact cathartic, boundary-pushing antidote you need. This show is a masterpiece of dark comedy, brutal realism, and deeply satisfying vigilante justice.

The core brilliance of the show lies in how it frames modern power dynamics. It perfectly captures how those with authority or backing try to control and break the weak. Crucially, it highlights a taboo reality. The series brilliantly shows how teachers and faculty members face terrifying psychological warfare from out of control students and overbearing parents.

The tone is like a bowl of hot, spicy ramen, it makes your eyes water from how infuriating the villains are, but fills your heart with absolute satisfaction when karma hits. The combo of gritty themes and sharp comedy is seamless. Episode 2 was on another level entirely! The chaotic school dynamics are brilliant, fast-paced, and utterly entertaining.

The casting is flawless. Kim Mu yeol is a force of nature as Na Hwa-jin, embodying a cool, calculating, and charismatic protagonist. Every time he is on screen with his signature swagger, you know a lesson is about to be taught. But for me, the standout is Im Han-rim (Jin Ki-joo). She is fierce, unpredictable, and a massive reason I loved this drama so much. Alongside Bong Geun-dae (Pyo Ji-hoon) providing the tech support, the team dynamic is incredibly fun. While a few later episodes rush through complex conspiracies to wrap things up, the emotional payoff never misses.


Teach You a Lesson steps outside those boundaries to give us the instant, therapeutic karma we crave. If you want a high-stakes, action packed narrative where bad people get exactly what they deserve, do not wait on this. It is funny, frustrating, and deeply rewarding.

Highly recommended!

This show brilliantly weaves creativity into its storytelling.

Initially, I watched this because I'm a fan of Xiao Hou, and for that reason alone, it was totally worth it. He took on a new type of role, looking handsome and refreshingly different. Viewers will be constantly surprised by the plot twists—like Zhang Chulan, who is incredibly skilled but completely unaware of it and acts as if he has no talent at all. Then there's Wang Ye, whose name is a playful nod to a princely title (Wangye) because he is a wealthy young master, yet his name also carries deeper philosophical meanings. Wang Ye appears to be the most powerful character since he can control both time and space, yet he still can't do anything against Baobao.

One hilarious scene is when Wang Ye goes to warn Zhang Chulan but ends up finding him in the restroom. They stand right next to each other at the urinals, and there's even a moment where one peeks over at the other—it's so funny! This unique blend of seriousness and comedy is woven throughout the entire series. Another great example is when Wang Ye simply walks out of the arena, casually stating that he's full and therefore admits defeat. It's just that simple and easygoing.

Looking at the makeup and wardrobe, it doesn't seem like they had a huge budget, but the results are quite good. Wang Ye looks very natural here, so much so that his styling in the second season feels a bit overdone by comparison. If we view this as a series that prioritizes creativity, it is highly commendable.

A Wuxia Fantasy Well Done!

Although there were many who felt this drama isn't their type, I absolutely enjoyed watching this drama. Every Acting,Every emotion very well done! I'm so glad to Know Song weilong and actually tune in to his dramas. He's a really wonderful actor,brings out the best in every role and more. I appreciate his hardwork and the effort he put in to Bring the character Lei xiu yuan and Yecha to Life. Ju jingyi also did a great job as the divine tree. Their chemistry is super great and adorable. I'm loving every bit of it. If you are looking for a good xianxia drama to take you out of your drama slump,I highly recommend this series.🙌🙌

Great storytelling.

Some stories ask you to choose a side. Ticket to Heaven asks you to understand everyone.

What could have easily become a simple story about religion versus love is instead a thoughtful exploration of two young men trying to make sense of the lives they've inherited. The series never mocks faith, nor does it treat love as something that needs to be justified. It simply asks what happens when both are equally real to the same person.

Barth and Tanrak are among the most beautifully written characters I've seen in years. Their relationship is built on patience, trust, reassurance, and genuine affection. Even in their most painful moments, you never question how deeply they love each other.

Gemini delivers the performance of his career, while Fourth once again proves why he's one of the finest young actors working today. Together, they create something that feels effortless and unforgettable.

What stayed with me most wasn't the heartbreak, it was the kindness. The quiet conversations, the moments of understanding, the willingness to listen, and the hope that love doesn't have to come at the cost of losing yourself.

By the time the credits rolled, it no longer felt like I had watched a television series. It felt like I had known Barth and Tanrak.

That, to me, is the mark of truly great storytelling.

Everyone must watch it to enjoy the lovely moments

I have watched so many dramas… but Never Ending Summer (2026) hit me in a completely different way. 🌅

This is not just a love story — it’s a journey of first love, heartbreak, memories, and the kind of emotions that stay with you for a long time. The way the story moves from youthful innocence to mature love makes it feel so real and deeply relatable.

Every episode pulled me deeper into its world. Once I entered, coming out felt almost impossible. The calm, dreamy vibe, the emotions, and the connection between the characters made me feel like I was living inside a never-ending summer.

Even after finishing it, I still feel like I’m stuck in that world… like a beautiful dream I don’t want to wake up from. 💭✨

This drama didn’t just entertain me — it stayed with me. ❤️

It began well but fell terribly.

I thought Lu Feng's character was a green flag until he grew up and constantly pressured sexual interaction on Yi Chen (Xiao Chen). Even when they were studying, the first time Lu Feng initiated, Yi Chen was dubious and so young. Yi Chen wasn't willing one hundred percent. He's new and, agreeably, needs time to process queer fantasies.
However, the way the entire show proceeded to telecast Lu Feng's toxic masculinity and repetitive rape scenes on Yi Chen, where the latter becomes a victim of Stockholm syndrome, made this show super irritating.

To be frank, I felt Yi Chen always looked spaced out. Or as if feeling confused and sometimes nothing at all. His expressions made me not engage.

I didn't understand Yi Chen's brother's character. Although he has hidden the fact of Lu Feng writing a message to Yi Chen and asking to wait for him, he has asked Qin Lang to be his brother's boyfriend out of guilt(?). So that his brother would be happy?
This plotline truly intrigued me with the way the brother evolved from the young, straight foreigner to the rainbow community and became a part of them. Tried my best to engage with the drama he built for his brother, but it felt too toxic to hide given how he once was and still kept certain things unapologetically.
All three had suffered for his dumb act, but perhaps his young age could be given as his excuse in his defense.

Later on, the episodes seemed like a rabbit hole with Lu Feng keep circling and Yi Chen's trust and heart broken once again. Perhaps, once broken, nothing can be revived again fully.

Lu Feng broke Yi Chen's brother's leg and made the latter's mother get a heart attack. Hurt Yi Chen himself too many times. This felt crappy to the point that I didn't understand where the show was leading. Nobody's in the show; no character seemed to have a thought to talk things out, clear things up, or have some self-respect.

The only character that I could like was Qin Lang and his relation with Yi Chen's brother. At least they developed and grew together to be a healthy, understanding couple despite issues.

As though I didn't like the concept of how Lu Feng's whole personality issue—possessive, obsessive, a liar, and a stalker—was nullified/labeled for his health condition, but that was what made sense. He was indeed sick. and deserved SPECIAL HEALTH TREATMENT.

The realest and most satisfactory lines in the whole show:
"After how he treated you, do you have no self-respect?" - Yi Chen's brother to Yi Chen

"If you really love Yichen, can you learn to respect him a little? Haven't you learned your lesson after all these years?" - Qin Lang to Lu Feng

The quality of the show was extremely mesmerizing, but the plot was just meh!

No unnecessary drama and twists, it’s simply cute

The whole simulation dating app idea was pretty genius and gave the story such a fresh, modern vibe. More importantly, the writers understood exactly what kind of drama they wanted to be: a light, fun 10-episode rom-com that doesn’t drag unnecessary angst for 16 episodes straight.

The drama didn’t try to force deep trauma plots or shocking twists just for emotional impact. Instead, it gave us just enough to understand Mirae, her fears and the effect her past relationship had on her without making the entire story emotionally exhausting. I’d rather watch a drama that stays simple and consistent than one that introduces heavy issues only to completely abandon them halfway through with weak explanations. This one knew its limits and played to its strengths perfectly.

The enemies-to-lovers/bickering dynamic between the leads was fun to watch.. Was their love story deeply emotional and layered? Not really. But I genuinely don’t think it needed to be. The vibe of the drama was more about chemistry, and fun rather than intense emotional depth, and it delivered exactly that.

Now let’s talk about Jisoo!! because people seriously had me expecting the worst. I kept seeing comments calling her acting cringe, awkward, etc., so I went in fully prepared to be disappointed… but she actually surprised me a lot. She felt pretty natural for most of the drama, especially during the flirting scenes in the dating simulation game. Like she genuinely sold the playful charm of Mirae really well.
I will admit that hospital crying scene in the last episode was lame. That was probably the one moment where the acting felt noticeably awkward and overdone. But aside from that? She did a solid job overall, and I honestly think people were being way harsher on her than necessary.

Now can we PLEASE talk about the star of the show! Eunho? Because that man absolutely nailed chemistry with Mirae. Chemistry soo goated that I forgot that he wasn’t the main lead.
And Park Gyeong Nam??? His journey from “annoying coworker I can’t stand” to “wait… why am I kinda rooting for him?” was honestly so entertaining. That progression was done really well, and he and Mirae had surprisingly good chemistry too.

Was suprised by the whole overall, got me hooked on the 1st episode.

I first saw about this series from some clips on tiktok and that was when the series wasnt finished yet. Now i just binged watched the whole series and im genuinely suprised by it. With just checking out those few clips and then reading all these mixed reviews, i just thougjt to myself (why dont i just watch the 1st episode. Then ill see if it catches my attention). Thats what i do with any series. Alot of people kept giving bad reviews though. Some were being very nitpicky, some gave honset reviews, some say they still watch but theres potential, and some watch just for the actors. I think people judge series and actors by just tiny tiny little reasons way to quick. Yes this series story/writing might be different from typical bl series out there. Thats good though, its something new and fresh. I saw that people though the storyline was incomplete or missing something. Thats just your opinion. I believe this was a good series to watch, the actors visuals were top 100, and they all acted amazingly. The story was good and ran at a good pace. There was twist and turns and it left me wanting to know what happens on the next epsiode. I think that rice (director), nuea,fluke, and all actors, crew, etc; did very good with this series. A good watch 👍💙
