mi aspettavo di più

Avevo molte aspettative su questo film, l’ho visto spesso sponsorizzato e l’avevo sempre accantonato. Poi mi sono decisa a vederlo e a dire la verità, mi aspettavo molto di Più, invece, a parte alcune scene, quelle che poi vengono sempre utilizzate nelle pubblicità che attirano che fanno ridere e che sono quelle più di spicco, la storia in sé non mi ha per niente preso, nonostante si tratti di argomenti forti come lutti o disagi medici. Gli attori si bravi, ma letteralmente non mi ha lasciato niente come messaggio o come emozione. Gli do un 7 perché il cast ci sta.

Magnetic couple

I read reviews about this drama here and was not expecting much since a lot of reviews are 7 ⭐ but i can say i greatly enjoyed it. There's no villain, and people are actually mature in this. Yes after school there's less tingling sweet scenes, but they've always been supportive of each other and there's pretty much less to no misunderstanding. Love is not sweet all the time, sometimes it's support, respect and being there for each other, this couple was exactly that. They communicate, figure out things and do things for each other without any ego and issues. It's been a great watch, i recommend this drama

A Hidden Gem of Thai GLs

This show was actually so good? Thank you to all the reviews that were real with it and gave it the amazing praise it deserved. I wouldn’t have even considered watching this show without those reviews and then I would have missed out on such amazing content. I don’t know why this isn’t rated higher. It feels like it beats out all the other Thai GLs I’ve seen previously.

I think I would have liked to see Ploy chase Pun a little bit harder towards the end of the show. And I honestly didn’t really like Pun’s voice being so high and squeaky like that. HOWEVER the story, the acting, the chemistry between the two characters was on point.

I think there probably should have been a bit more accountability held for the two characters hurting each other like that. But overall a really well rounded show.

A Well-Made Office Romance That Brings Nothing New

After 12 episodes, it became clear that Love Under Audit was never really about auditing, corporate politics, or business ethics.

It's an office romance wrapped in the familiar K-drama formula: love triangles, jealous rivals, workplace rumors, secret relationships, corporate power struggles, noble sacrifices, misunderstandings, and conveniently timed emotional crises.

The biggest strength of the series is its cast. Shin Hye-sun and Gong Myung carry much of the show's emotional weight, making even the most predictable situations watchable. Their chemistry is solid enough to keep the story moving even when the writing falls back on well-worn clichés.

The problem is that the drama rarely takes risks. Almost every major development feels recycled from dozens of previous office romances. The story constantly chooses the safest possible route, making it easy to predict where everything is heading long before it gets there.

Even the corporate storyline eventually becomes secondary to relationship drama, rumors, and personal conflicts. At times, the company seems less interested in making money than in managing everyone's love life.

That doesn't make the drama bad. It simply makes it familiar.

In fact, that's probably why many viewers will enjoy it. It delivers exactly what it promises: romance, attractive leads, emotional tension, and a satisfying ending.

My biggest disappointment was that some of the supporting characters—especially the protagonist's sisters—were more entertaining than several of the main subplots and deserved much more screen time.

In the end, Love Under Audit is comfort food television. Easy to watch, easy to enjoy, and just as easy to forget a few months later.

He speaks his mind. She's a tough cookie.

A nice adult workplace drama. Nothing too exciting but solid nonetheless. He speaks his mind. She’s a tough cookie. A mature romance between working adults and their coworkers. At first, I didn’t think much of ML's character at the start, he’s arrogant and cocky, but week by week, I gradually came to like him. The actress playing the female lead is always a powerhouse, so there’s nothing to complain about there. Their romance is enjoyable.

Romance aside, the show is a weekly case of a workplace issue that the main couple must investigate in each episode. I felt these were a hit or miss, but nonetheless, they place the main couple in unusual yet entertaining situations.

There’s one character who drove me up a wall, but I suppose they needed someone to give the show a semblance of conflict. Blinded by love I guess.

The audience was coldly betrayed, and the communication was totally unclear.

Let me tell you straight up: the male lead dies. He dies completely without reason. He didn't even put himself in any danger—he was just minding his own business, walking in the market. Despite his tall and large build, he was swarmed, captured, and killed just because they wanted to steal his camera. It makes absolutely no sense for a doctor on an international mission. Normally, they are well-protected by security agencies and would never go to a high-risk area or do anything risky.

The male lead's decision-making makes it feel like he practically committed suicide, but the drama didn't dare to tell the story based on actual facts.

fun to watch and strong start

The first episode was really fun to watch. The comedy wasn’t overdone, and the storyline was easy to follow, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish.

TayNew’s chemistry is always top-tier, and they delivered every scene naturally and smoothly. Toto is such a free-spirited character with a great sense of humor, and Tay absolutely nailed the role. Knowing Tay’s real personality, Toto feels quite different from him, which makes his performance even more impressive. He brought Toto to life on screen so well that the character feels authentic and lovable.

As for Kanit, he is a classy, sassy, and elite flight attendant, and Newwiee portrayed him perfectly. His annoyed expressions, witty remarks, and sassy attitude were all on point, making Kanit a very entertaining character to watch.

The supporting cast also did a great job portraying their characters. Each character feels unique and adds something interesting to the story. I already find myself attached to the whole cast and am excited to learn more about their individual stories as the series progresses.

Overall, Episode 1 was a strong and entertaining start. It introduced the characters well, balanced comedy and storytelling nicely, and left me looking forward to the next episode.

When Growth, Friendship, and Love Feel Real: Why Law and the City Stands Out

This drama was handled with remarkable maturity, and its greatest strength was how beautifully every storyline came together by the end.

"Law and the City" follows five associate lawyers working in the same building but for different firms, balancing emotional struggles, family expectations, career ambitions, and enduring friendships. What made the series special was the way these characters consistently showed up for one another through every success and setback. Their bond felt authentic—exactly how genuine friendships should.

One aspect that seems widely underestimated is the relationship between Ahn Ju Hyeong and Kang Hui Ji. Their romance wasn't built on dramatic misunderstandings, constant tension, or high-stakes passion. Instead, it reflected how many adult relationships actually function. They understood each other deeply. They paid attention to the smallest details, expressing care through actions rather than grand declarations. They recognized when the other was struggling and gave each other the space and patience needed to work through personal challenges before offering support.

Kang Hui Ji was especially refreshing as a female lead. She was already independent and self-sufficient. She didn't need Ahn Ju Hyeong because the story demanded a romance; she wanted him because sharing her life with him made it richer than experiencing it alone. Likewise, Ahn Ju Hyeong's growth felt natural rather than forced. He was never devoid of empathy, but through observing Hui Ji's approach to both her work and her clients, he slowly rediscovered a part of himself that had been buried beneath nine years of professional routine.

Their second-chance love story was beautiful precisely because of its simplicity. Not every romance needs adrenaline, endless obstacles, or dramatic twists. Sometimes love is gentle, steady, and quietly transformative—and this drama understood that perfectly.

Cho Chang Won, Bae Mun Jeong, and Ha Sang Gi were equally delightful. Each received a thoughtfully developed character arc. Through the cases they handled, their beliefs about the world and themselves gradually evolved. Their dedication to their work was admirable, but what made their journeys meaningful was their realization that they wanted more from life. Watching them step beyond their comfort zones and pursue long-held dreams felt both realistic and inspiring.

Kim Hyeong Min was another standout character. Despite being the CEO and founder of a charitable foundation, she carried the regret of never becoming a lawyer. Her decision to bring the firms together under one roof and serve as their legal advisor stemmed from that unrealized dream. Her commitment to helping the weak, the poor, and the overlooked reflected genuine compassion. Yet even after achieving success, she eventually recognized that she still wanted to pursue the dream she had abandoned and chose to study law again. Her story was both inspiring and believable.

What I also appreciated was that the four bosses were treated as complete characters rather than being reduced to background figures. Even with the focus on the five associates, the drama gave the senior characters their own presence, personalities, and significance.

The recurring tradition of the five friends gathering for dinner—and the series ending with them sharing lunch as the "lunch and dinner crew"—was a simple but meaningful way to bring the story full circle.

Ultimately, *Law and the City* is a drama about growth: personal growth, professional growth, emotional growth, and the growth that comes from meaningful relationships. It doesn't rely on exaggerated drama or unrealistic romance. Instead, it tells grounded, relatable stories with warmth, sincerity, and maturity. For that reason alone, it stands out as one of the most realistic and thoughtfully written dramas in recent years.

Amor que sufoca...

Excesso de amor sufoca, gera dependência, submissão e culpa...
Seo Yu Jun se sente pressionado, sufocado pelo excesso de amor que recebe e que não consegue retribuir..
Kim Yeon Ho abdica até mesmo da dignidade em prol deste amor, suplica e implora para que ele não o deixe..
O amor é sufocante. Um ama em excesso há 10 anos, outro se relaciona há 3 anos e acredita que nunca conseguirá oferecer tudo que recebe.
São apenas 4 episódios de 8 minutos cada aproximadamente e a True Film me surpreendeu desta vez.
As atuações foram ótimas, os atores conseguiram demonstrar muito a angústia que cada personagem sentia. Já assisti a todos os dramas do Kwak Geon Hee, gosto de sua atuação e ela tem melhorado constantemente. Seo Jeong Hyeon, o conheci em "Jopokin Naege Namjachinguga Saenggyeosseo", mas ele era personagem de apoio, mas gostei muito da sua atuação aqui, eu senti todo o seu sufocamento e dor.
O amor pode ser contraditório, podemos amar além da vida, mas também podemos sentir que estamos nos afogando.
