Meh

China is making a lot of bls lately too bad I already moved on from watching bls, I prefer reading manhwas. I find bl dramas too boring too fluffy for my liking.
This one seems ok just not my cup of tea I guess. I found it hard to root for the main pair.
One thing that annoys is every mc somehow has to be poor and struggling wth 🤦 why can’t we ever have an mc that filthy rich and doesn’t need to be a charity case for the ml?
Also who the hell works their ass off to afford to pay for expensive acting classes for their younger sister? 😂 I’m sorry you can call me mean but I couldn’t feel sorry for the mc. All that hard work at the dork just to pay for acting classes 😅
I wish it was toxic at least maybe then I could continue hate watching it

Se fosse maior, seria melhor...

Sou apaixonadíssima por Yumi's Cells e esperei o lançamento da terceira temporada desde o término da segunda.

Amei acompanhar essa história e amei essa temporada também. É lindo ver o quanto a Yumi cresceu, tanto pessoal quanto profissionalmente, ao longo desse tempo, e ver ela finalmente alcançar seu final feliz.

Eu estava muito animada para conhecer o Soonrok, e ele é simplesmente apaixonante!!

Acho que o ponto fraco é que essa temporada é a mais curtinha e, consequentemente, as coisas acontecem de forma mais corrida. Assim, não temos tanto tempo para viver esse último romance da Yumi.

Sinto que pode ser difícil criar uma conexão com o Soonrok e sentir a química do casal também, já que tudo acontece muito rápido. Se a temporada fosse um pouco mais longa e pudéssemos ver mais da personalidade do Soonrok, seria incrível.

Apesar desse ponto fraco, Yumi's Cells continua sendo um dos meus favoritos e eu continuo amando essa temporada.

A good drama

This show had me hookid in first half, it xas show i look forward most on weekend, uppoom 2nd project was something i looked forward too.

The production was really solid the cinematography and sets looked beautiful, the action scenes were well choreographed, a'd i loved the dance performances, the cast also did a great job memorizing all these dances, i loved the club squad especially Foei which was wayu's real parent and tai the ride or due bestie, he was entertaining throughout drama

Mind as potential love interst was nice to see, he was just someone woth geniune feeling, znd tried to get wayu, respect for trying

The serie tried to balance between the the human trafficking storyline and loveline, they mad progress trying solve case, i felt they could tried bolder writing, the villains involved fizzled out every time.

We had also Mai's, she left Singto behind, never reached out till krit found her, she living miserable life than she is back doing successful live stream that allow wayu to stop working as host and return to his studies which aligned with his breakup, it felt lazy writing to me, like why she left bro, the addicted mom also turned good out of convince

i wasn't a fan of how easily Krit's father was forgiven, after everything he put his son and wayu through, the happy family ending felt unearned, it pmo actually.

Overall, while the writing wasn't perfect, the characters, performances, and production made this a fun watch that I genuinely enjoyed

This deserves to be called a MASTERPIECE. Truly.

I don't normally make reviews like this but here I am, making one!

This series is a mix of everything, as well as emphasizing spirituality and the northern culture of Thailand and shamanism (that's why others may find the series a bit confusing and they tend to question some scenes that heavily involves or depicts the cultural aspect). Additionally, it genuinely revolves around friendship, love, revenge, forgiveness, and so on and so forth. All in all, this is a WHOLE ROLLER COASTER RIDE.

One of the things I really love is the SLOW BURN ROMANCE between the main couple! Oh goodness, their chemistry is INSANE!

I've watched the series for the second time already and it never disappoints me. From the bottom of the chain to the top, all I can say is that it's truly amazing. I've watched the documentary too (YOU SHOULD WATCH IT TO BETTER APPRECIATE THE SERIES) and I seriously appreciate the hard work poured into it, from all the actors and specially the actor playing the role of Khemjira.

He was amazing and I couldn't understand why people say his acting lacks. They're trying to still faithful to the novel and the novel readers says the Khem in the novel was even worse but the production team and even the actor decided to at least tone it down and they did a good job to it. All his emotions were evident through his eyes, the subtleness of his feelings, I can even feel the weight of his burden just by looking at the way he walks and talks.

To better understand the character, you really need to pay attention, even to a very small detail. In the first episode, the character Khemjira said he was bracing himself and he's not really giving up, so it's clearly a fact that Khemjira already accepts that he's going to die. Jet, his friend, perhaps knows it deep inside so he is very protective of Khem. All his life, he was battling with the curse, seeing ghosts is a norm for him, though he gets terrified when they became malicious and flipped out. He didn't really do nothing because in the first few episodes, he literally asked help, especially to Master Paran. It's just that, their fates were actually intertwined and so therefore 'help' is hard to be given. Long story short, I would literally say "Go on, rely to the people around you, Khem! It's time for you to rest and accept all the help they WILLINGLY want to give to you!". Aside from that, the characters Jet and Charn seriously complements the whole narrative and the Master Paran was played AMAZINGLY! If only others truly immersed themselves in the story and take down notes to every detail, then you can appreciate and understand the story better.

Aside from that, it's deeply cultural and a lot of details in episode one even FORESHADOWS the episodes until the end. Wow! Seriously! Other characters were so good too, each one of them fits the roles so well that I couldn't even imagine other actors playing their roles.

This series is a masterpiece, I tell you. I'm planning to watch it again next month lol, perhaps I can rewatch this every now and then.

Beyond the Hype ❤️

I went into this drama with absolutely no expectations, and it completely exceeded them. The opening episodes felt relatively calm, but once the story reached the point where the FL had to hide the ML in the dormitory, I was hooked.

I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it because I do not usually have the patience for slow-burning dramas. However, the constant tension, the fear of getting caught, and the political conflict woven into the story kept me invested from beginning to end. Every episode made the stakes feel higher than the last.

I also loved the supporting cast. Every character had a purpose, especially the dormitory staff and the people surrounding the FL. The character who pretended to be the FL's friend while secretly betraying her was unbelievably frustrating, and that only proved how effective her performance was. She made me genuinely angry, which added so much to the drama.

Another highlight was the friendship among the girls in the dormitory. Their chaotic attempts to help the FL hide the ML brought some much-needed humor and warmth, balancing out the heavier moments perfectly.

As for the romance, I usually am not a fan of slow-burn relationships, but this one completely won me over. There was something so charming about the quiet, secret meetings and the constant tension of them trying not to get caught. Their relationship felt restrained yet deeply emotional, making every interaction meaningful.

I also have to give special credit to the OST because it became a huge part of the drama's charm. The music elevated so many scenes and made every emotional moment hit even harder. Even though the romance was subtle and restrained, the soundtrack made it feel incredibly profound. It honestly made me imagine a parallel universe where things could have been different for them, and that thought alone made the story even more heartbreaking.

I also did not expect this drama to make me feel so much anxiety and heartbreak. There were several scenes that had me on the edge of my seat, especially the moment when the FL & ML were hanging from the dormitory. That scene is still one of the most unforgettable moments.

I went into this drama completely blind. I avoided reading the synopsis and waited until the hype had died down before watching it. Looking back, I can confidently say that the hype was completely justified.

And the ending... I still have not recovered. It left me absolutely heartbroken and remains one of the most emotional endings I have ever experienced.

Another Kiddie BL Series from GMMTV

A Dog and a Plane is a series for girls under 15.

The issue is that Tay, who is 34 years old, and New, who is 33 years old, portray characters with the emotional maturity of 18-year-olds.

The show is unbelievable, unremarkable, and uninspiring.

It is billed as a comedy, but it's not that funny or entertaining.

There is nothing to this show; it is boring and stupid.

The sad part is that Tay and New can act, but this script gives them nothing to work with.

The story is full of ad placements and cliché moments.

The kissing scene looked so staged; there was no sexual tension buildup to justify that scene. It was over the top and unbelievable.

The series main goal is to sell merchandise, tickets to fan meetings, and impact arena shows.

When compared to other BL shows, this series is a joke.

At least "Me and Thee" was actually funny and entertaining, thanks to Pond, or that show would have been disappointing too.

Final decepcionante ?

Tenho pontos a tecer sobre essa série. Depois de muito refletir e pensar de forma mais racional, a mensagem é clara: uma crítica a um sistema educacional falho e a pressões externas e internas em cima de adolescentes que os levam ao extremo. Mostra que nem sempre o principal monstro é aquele que é visível, mas pode ser aquele que está ao seu lado; e que nem sempre a pessoa nasce ruim, mas, perante as adversidades da vida, acaba indo por um caminho psicótico e prejudicial para todos ao redor.O que eu mais enalteço da primeira para a segunda parte foi o amadurecimento dos jovens que, ao perderem o soldado — que, ao meu ver, serve como uma figura paterna e uma das poucas figuras adultas que impunham limites, mas que realmente protegia e enxergava os jovens como seres humanos, e não como máquinas de estudo e de guerra que no final obviamente seriam descartados —, viram sua realidade mudar. No momento de sua morte, simbolicamente e ao meu ver, representa-se o amadurecimento e a passagem da adolescência para a vida adulta. Isso fez esses jovens entenderem que, a partir daquele momento, eles seriam os únicos responsáveis pela sua sobrevivência e pela vida do grupo como um todo, e não apenas individualmente.Outro ponto foi um dos protagonistas que enlouquece nos últimos episódios. Ele é o retrato de como pressões impostas pela sociedade e promessas vazias, principalmente para aqueles que não têm muitas oportunidades, podem ser o estopim para acontecimentos prejudiciais e malignos (é claro que não passo pano para determinadas atitudes).E o final, que me irritou, foram os adultos — pais desses jovens que estavam na linha de frente — que, mesmo perante uma guerra, não aprenderam nada e mantiveram um sistema educacional problemático. Julgaram aqueles que lutaram na guerra enquanto eles não faziam nada; como diz aquele ditado: "pimenta no rabo dos outros é refresco". Não ironicamente, esse final é simbólico, pois representa de forma crua como uma sociedade, mesmo diante de um desastre, mantém sistemas que são opressivos, os quais forçam os jovens a lutarem contra si mesmos para, se der, terem um futuro que seja realmente digno, segundo a mentalidade dos pais.Enfim, é um dorama que começa bem. Não gosto muito do desenvolvimento da segunda parte, mesmo entendendo a crítica, e não gostei do final, mesmo tendo ficado surpreso.

I honestly don't expect much from Korean BLs at this point.

This series was okay. It wasn't the worst I've seen, but it also wasn't anything special. Frankly, I was bored. I probably won't remember anything from this series in a couple of days.

Korean BLs are always low-budget; the world feels empty, and the acting is normally okay, but the actors have little to no chemistry. Why is it that Korean BL dramas have no extras? It's like the main characters live in an empty world outside a couple of other people. School, street, theater; all empty.

If the budget is so low that you can't use extras, good chemistry between the actors is a must, and here it just fell flat. I don't believe that either of them loves the other. When the main characters met again after 4 years, I felt nothing. I should have felt happy, or excited, or at least anticipating them seeing each other again, but nope. Just nothing. Also, I'm expected to believe that after 4 years apart without speaking to each other, their feelings didn't change at all? They focused so much on U Hyeon's crush on his teacher & didn't really develop his relationship with Doha at all, so in the end it felt very flat and surface-level.

More Than Just a Legal Drama

Woo to the Young to the Woo, Dong to the Geu to the Rami! 😂

What I appreciated most about this drama was that it was more than just a series about lawyers and courtroom cases. It also gave viewers a glimpse into the everyday experiences of someone on the autism spectrum (although not as accurate). Watching the FL navigate both her personal and professional life was inspiring, and I liked that the drama portrayed her strengths alongside the challenges she faced.

The legal cases were interesting, but it was the characters and their relationships that kept me invested. The drama balanced heartfelt moments with lighthearted comedy, making it both entertaining and emotionally rewarding.

The only reason I did not rate it higher is because I felt that a few storylines lacked proper closure. I wanted to know more about the FL's mother, and I also hoped the romance would have been developed a little further by the end.

Overall, this was a warm, uplifting, and meaningful drama. It entertained me while also offering a different perspective, and that's something I truly appreciated.

Great Horror Moments, Weak Emotional Build-Up

I haven't read the original webtoon, but from what I've heard, this adaptation remains far more faithful to the source material than the Korean version. Even so, I found the Korean adaptation to be the stronger and more cohesive production overall.

The pacing here is relentlessly fast, leaving little room for Yu (Jongwoo) to develop as a character. As a result, I struggled to connect with him emotionally. The relationship between the two central characters also feels underdeveloped. Yu and Kirishima (Moonjo) share surprisingly few meaningful interactions, making the gradual shift from uneasy familiarity to overwhelming fear feel abrupt rather than earned. Their psychological dynamic—arguably the heart of the story—never reaches the intensity it should.

One scene I kept anticipating was the restaurant sequence from the Korean version, where Jongwoo is dining with his girlfriend and college friend before suddenly noticing Moonjo. The mounting dread in that moment remains one of the most memorable scenes in the Korean adaptation because it perfectly captures the psychological hold Moonjo has over him. I expected a similarly effective buildup here. Instead, despite Yu and Kirishima having far fewer interactions, Yu is already terrified of him. Given how little distinguishes Kirishima from the other unsettling residents at that point, it raises the question of why his fear is directed almost exclusively toward Kirishima rather than the entire building.

That said, this adaptation deserves credit where it excels. Several horror sequences are more disturbing than their Korean counterparts. Jun's decapitation is genuinely horrifying, and the fate of Yu's girlfriend was the biggest shock of the entire series. Those moments demonstrate that the show is capable of delivering effective, visceral horror when it fully commits to it.

I also have to commend Kirishima's portrayal. While I still prefer the Korean adaptation overall, Kirishima's eyes carry an almost inhuman, demonic quality that makes him deeply unsettling whenever he appears on screen. His presence alone contributes significantly to the series' eerie atmosphere.

Overall, while this adaptation succeeds in delivering several memorable horror moments and appears to stay closer to the source material, its rushed pacing and underdeveloped character dynamics prevented me from becoming fully invested. For me, the Korean version remains the more effective adaptation because it gives its characters—and especially the relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist—the time needed to breathe and evolve.

VICE VERSA is Worth the Watch

12 Episodes
SeaJimmy : Perfect Pairing
Personal Rating: 9.5/10

Getting through the cringing parts... and foolish acting, this was pretty much a Good Watch.
I enjoy the two leads... Sea & Jimmy, they have a special connection. In this drama, I didn't feel too much of a romantic connection though, not like " My Magic Prophecy". Which in my personal taste was a Great drama.

The one thing that I listen for are conversations that stick out or are memorable when it comes to the leads. The Dialogue was going well... and then in episode 9, something is said by *Tun due to what he doesn't have in this alternate life, so he makes a wish that when explained to the one person he cares for...*Tess, which sets Tess off. In these scripts, I never understand why at the precise moment that these two grown men can't allow each other enough maturity to explain why *Tun has those feelings of wanting to stay. There are so many misunderstanding in dramas when it comes to any genre'... and very little "Wait, what did you say? Why do you feel this way? Instead, there is anger and walking away etc.. etc... It truly doesn't get these characters anywhere.
However, in a roundabout way *Tess learns his mistake with *Tun, by listening to his close friend *Kita. However, why should it take that road... why not cut the middleman and just talk it through at the time all this misunderstanding happened. Is it because it's not exciting enough for the viewers?
The conversation between Tess and Pang, had me tear up for her and Tun. In situations that people endure through life.. can be more intense than what I go through, so I have no right to judge or DICTATE what is right and wrong for them.
🥰OMG THE HAT.... I FORGOT ABOUT THE HAT 🦙. Episode 9 hit me with goosebump & a little bit of tears!!!

From this point on (ep9), I'm just going to stop my review and express highly for those who are reading this...
*VICE VERSA* is a drama you shouldn't miss.
The rest of the drama doesn't disappoint, in my personal opinion.

Female Empowerment At Its Finest

As someone who loves slice-of-life dramas that dive deep into human behavior, Search: WWW is an absolute goldmine. This isn't a paint-by-numbers romance; it is a layered character study wrapped in modern corporate realism and incredible female empowerment.

What Makes It Work
The show’s greatest strength is its emotional maturity and its refusal to rely on cheap tropes. The conflicts don't stem from "bad guys" or toxic manipulation, but from a genuine, painful clash of core values between two deeply good people.

Bae Ta-mi & Park Morgan: Their dynamic is a fascinating look at defense mechanisms. Ta-mi is wound incredibly tight, using her hyper-analytical logic as an armor to protect herself from future hurt. Morgan is a textbook green flag—emotionally articulate, devoted, and steady. The real psychological triumph of the show is watching Ta-mi’s overthinking mind battle her own instincts. When tragedy strikes Morgan, her logical walls completely short-out; her nervous system takes the wheel and sprints her straight to his side. Her body doesn't lie, and holding onto his physical things proved her heart's reality long before her brain caught up. The open ending feels living and breathing because it forces them to maturely navigate the now rather than trying to neatly solve an uncertain future. I wish we could've learned a bit more about Ta-mi's past to have a better understanding of her stance on marriage.

Cha Hyun & Ji Hwan: The ultimate palette cleanser. Cha Hyun is pure joy because she possesses zero emotional armor. Unlike Ta-mi’s repressed anxiety, Cha Hyun has a perfectly regulated emotional release valve—she screams with joy, bawls when sad, and fiercely advocates for Ji Hwan’s gentle, underdog soul. They are pure, earnest, and deeply comforting. My favorite couple to watch.

Song Ga-kyung's Liberation: Watching Ga-kyung break free from the absolute chokehold of her toxic mother-in-law to claim the CEO throne was incredibly cathartic. Stripping away the transactional nature of her marriage actually unlocked a fascinating, protective, and respectful dynamic with her ex-husband. While an explicit, verbal apology and repair work between her and Ta-mi would have been satisfying, their silent reconciliation, standing shoulder-to-shoulder to defend privacy rights, carried immense weight.

The Verdict
From the powerful, refreshing presence of a Black female executive heading the global branch of Unicon, to the iconic final sports car scene celebrating female solidarity, this show fires on all cylinders. Written by Kwon Do-eun (Twenty-Five Twenty-One), it carries her distinct signature: deep respect for human behavior, heavy focus on the power of female relationships, and an unapologetic commitment to emotional honesty over fairy-tale endings. Overall, an intelligent, stylish, and moving drama that honors the messy reality of the present moment. Also, shout-out to the best boss, Brian!
