Only 8 epsiodes but ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Disclaimer : This is my opinion.I think the story is just perfect. They do an amazing job portraying the lives of the two main characters their struggles feel so real and relevant right now, and the environments are spot-on too.
The cast is stacked with great actors and actresses it’s been such a pleasure watching them.
I’m really looking forward to seeing more development in their relationship, as well as Eun-A’s relationship with her mom, and Dong-Man and Eun-A’s dynamic. I also hope they dive deeper into Dong-Man’s brother’s storyline. We got those two heavy suicide attempt scenes and then… nothing. I really hope they give that plot the attention it deserves.
So far only 8 episodes are out and I’m very satisfied, but if they properly develop Eun-A’s relationship with her mother and Dong-Man’s brother like I mentioned, this could easily become a 10/10. It’s just missing that extra touch to feel flawless.
The music is really good too.
One slightly negative note: the bracelet that Eun-A and Dong-Man wear. We know what it’s for, but I feel like they could have explored it more. Instead of just starting the series with them already wearing the bracelets, I wish they had shown the specific events and exact moments in their lives that led them to test it in the first place. The check-ups that reveal new feelings are cool, but it doesn’t feel deeply developed.
Can’t wait to see the final episodes!
Edit:
I finished this drama, i recommend it!, But I find it a shame that the story of Dong-Man's brother has not been deepened, it deserves to be more developed!

um achado!!!
eu gosto muito de séries com a pegada jurídica/medicos entre derivado e esse não tinha como eu não gostar!!! eu gosto de kdramas nesse linha porque todos conseguem trazer situações muito individuais e um reviravolta muito interessante.gosta da principal e de como trouxeram ela pra esse contexto, ela é certeira e bate de frente e no que acredita mas ao msm tempo tem suas sensibilidades e traz isso de uma maneira bem natural. uma diva 💕
sobre o daddy: como eu sair de parceiros de justiça, foi um choque pra mim ele tirar essa casca que ele se enfiou de uma forma muito fofa, me irrita não terem desenvolvido eles juntos MAS achei os momentos deles muito bons!!!
o casal se veio nessa temporada foi uma delícia de acompanhar e seus desafios, foi tudo muiitooo bom e gostoso de acompanhar
trazer romance pra esse tipo de série e ótimo e foi do jeito que eu gosto, não sendo o ponto principal da série.
ameiii💕💕

"Se não puder proteger a única pessoa que jurei proteger, como vou proteger o mundo?"
Esse dorama fazia muito tempo que estava na minha lista para mim assistir, só que sempre enrolava pra não assistir. Aí criei vergonha na cara e comecei a ver. No final, eu acabei amando! Esse dorama se tornou um dos meus favoritos da vida. A história me prendeu do início ao fim de um jeito que eu não conseguia parar de assistir, e os personagens são maravilhosos. Fiquei impressionada com a produção, a trilha sonora e como tudo se encaixou perfeitamente. Valeu super a pena cada minuto assistido e com certeza vou favoritar e indicar para todo mundo. Nota dez total!¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
He is so cute... Tonliew is so so so adorable, and the cuteness of the character feels so natural, well, bcs it IS! He's naturally adorable (and so tiny omg). I loved their chemistry, how sweet and gentle their whole relationship is.
The acting is SO amazing. But obviously, the star here is Tonliew as Typhoon. The way that he portrayed raw emotions, grief, panic. He gave in fully for the character and it was so freaking good. Like... I want him booked and busy. He's so talented.
Also how funny is that the moment that New steps back from directing, suddenly the quality is SO MUCH better. He's so fucking bad as a director, really, it amazes me...
My deducting points tho are because I think that the story should've been more... smooth. It feels abrupt, the transition from extremely angsty to suddenly cuteness and a giddy world. Ofc, it makes sense, partially, with Typhoon's personality. Even while facing the HORRORS, he's still sweet and docile, gentle and smiley. He's so strong.
But even while partially making sense, it feels a little... unrealistic? Too quick! One moment he was scared of being close to Tonfah and then suddenly he wanted him back without fearing it much. I understand that his friends encouraged him but still... some details just feel like little story holes.
Whatever, this doesn't make the experience of watching bad. Not at all, it's such a sweet and gentle story. But ofc, for people who like HEAVY DRAMA... that's not what you will get. It's gentle, healing, soft and sweet. Yeah, there is some angst but the whole series is definitely not about that.
I'm super excited to see more of BeverTonliew!

enchanting
I started watching A Splendid Match expecting a typical historical romance drama, but it turned out to be much more layered and engaging than I anticipated. What immediately stood out to me was how refreshing the main characters are. The female lead is intelligent, composed, and emotionally mature. Instead of relying on clichés or making irrational decisions just to push the plot forward, she consistently thinks carefully and handles situations with grace and wit. It’s rare to find a female lead who is both strong and elegant without the drama trying too hard to prove it.The male lead is equally impressive. He’s calm, mature, and respectful, which makes the romance feel believable and satisfying. Rather than dominating every situation, he treats the female lead as an equal, and that balance is what makes their relationship so enjoyable to watch. Their chemistry feels natural and effortless. Every interaction between them carries emotional depth, whether they are working together, flirting with each other, or facing difficult situations side by side. The romance develops steadily instead of feeling rushed, which makes every emotional moment more rewarding.
Another aspect I really enjoyed was the political intrigue woven throughout the story. The drama doesn’t rely solely on romance to keep viewers interested. There are layered conflicts, strategic alliances, family tensions, and court politics that constantly add suspense and complexity to the plot. The political storyline is engaging without becoming overwhelming, and it complements the romance rather than overshadowing it. I found myself invested not only in the relationship between the leads but also in the larger conflicts surrounding them.
The family drama is also handled well. The relationships between family members feel realistic and emotionally grounded, with moments of loyalty, betrayal, sacrifice, and misunderstanding that add depth to the story. These conflicts help shape the characters and make their emotional journeys feel more meaningful. Instead of existing purely for shock value, the family dynamics contribute to the overall development of the narrative.
Visually, the drama is beautiful. The costumes, cinematography, and overall atmosphere create an elegant viewing experience that perfectly matches the tone of the story. Every scene feels polished and carefully crafted, adding to the immersive quality of the drama. The soundtrack also deserves praise because it enhances the emotional moments without overpowering them.
What makes this drama especially memorable for me is the balance it maintains between romance, politics, and emotional storytelling. Many dramas excel in one area but struggle to keep the others equally compelling. this drama manages to combine all these elements successfully, creating a story that feels emotionally rich and consistently engaging.
Overall, this is a drama I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys smart characters, mature romance, political intrigue, and strong emotional storytelling. It’s elegant, captivating, and addictive in the best way possible. The leads have incredible chemistry, the writing keeps the story engaging, and the emotional depth makes it easy to become fully invested in the characters and their journey.

Should've appreciated season 1 more
I feel like when everyone heard there was going to have Only friends dream on, we were expecting messy SPICY drama, similar to or even better than season 1. I fear they did not live up to my expectations. At first I didn't mind when things werent getting messy but then when boston appeared i knew fs the drama was going to begin and it did not... I thought they were bringing boston in to stir up things.. Only friends dream on had sm potential i felt like they did not want pairings kissing outside of their pair so that also made the series boring sometimes.Enough with the negatives, there were some good aspects that i liked.
1. Earthmix acting was SPECTACULAR. I was obsessed with Mix's acting. He made me feel all the emotions he was feeling, sometimes i couldnt even watch his crying scenes because it was just that good! My favourite scene of his would forever be when he had an argument with jack in the bathroom and immediately had to get dress to go out on stage. CHILLS ran down my spine. Earth's acting as well as wonderful. His character range is insane, he was able to pull off a completely different character than what he's used to, so im very proud of them both. They delivered and carried the series.
Also Ive got to give credit to timmy for keeping that friend group together. He has sm patience.
All the other actors acted okay with what they were given. Would forever love Rome's iconic part of punching Jack too.
The OST is 10/10 gawin DELIVERED.
In essence, i think this season definitely fell short but the acting carried. I still would miss waiting every friday to watch it but im glad it is over tho.

heuuuu …. comment dire ?!?
j’ai tout de même la nette impression qu’on est passé à côté de quelque chose de tres tres gros, il y avait tout pour faire une énorme serie, deja … un casting énorme, la déesse Park Min Young deja, même si sa dernière serie (deja sur PrimeVideo) m’avait beaucoup déçu, je reste un inconditionnel de Secretzry Kim, et de Private Life …MAIS … tous les ressorts sont tellement gros que parfois on passe vraiment à côté de tout … le coup de l’ex , la chirurgie, le meilleur ami … bla bla bla … trop facile tout ca, j’aurai aimé plus de profondeur dans l’histoire, l’intrigue, je pense que les scénaristes se sont pas foulés et c’est bien dommage. ça commence à devenir récurent chez Prime Vidéo.

Delightful *masterpiece*
This drama is so DELIGHTFUL!!!! FL actress is one of my favs. She is a master actor for sure. R * E * S * P * E * C * T!!!! I totally hated ML in 100 Memories and I was convinced back then that he cannot act.... but here - omg he is such a great actor. A very great handsome lunatic lmao Such talent for comedy lmaoI am so much enjoying this show!!!!!!
FL actress is a chameleon, she is always THE character she is acting..... every time.... here it is so funny to see her all meek and subservient.. lmao And I love her street smarts :) XXX OOO XXX
She was the most amazing villain in The Glory.... Great in Nice to Not Meet you but her ML was acting too cheesy and kinda killed it. Here, the ML/FL pair is ***perfect**.
and ML actor and his eyes moving around, e.g. start of ep 3 holding her ... that was soooo hilarious. I am so glad I got to see him in a real role. He is great!
THIS DRAMA IS A MASTERPIECE CLASSIC
and the rating should be a lot higher
i am so grateful we get to watch this. Bravo to the MRN team!!!!
As for rewatch: I think it would be great to rewatch as there are so many nuances in acting
That scene on the roof top at the start of ep 3 was so hilarious and so showing their acting skillZ
and then all the other scenes ... too many to mention... it is totally totally HILARIOUS and deep ... such great acting... and is getting scary as we get to meet the SML/King more and more.. bc he is ... a PSYCHO SOCIOPATHIC MONSTER and seems like harmed FL/ML in the past and now is the chance for them to self defend. I am sure they can, FL can certainly take care of anything lmao Fighting!!!!!

faut il suivre la hype ?
des années et des années que je me dis qu’il fallait que je jette un coup d’œil à cette série, et cette fois etait la bonne, on m’en a tellement parlé entre les posts des réseaux sociaux et les spécialistes kdramas, il fallait que je me lance.alors tout d’abord, je ne suis pas du tout fan de Kim DaMi, dans It won class, elle est le perso qui m’énerve tellement, par contre dans Nine puzzles elle est extraordinaire er ca m’a convaincu.
tout ça pour vous dire que j’ai bien aimé, mais C’edt vraiment a s’taper l’cul par terre non plus, c’est sympa, une bonne rom com des familles, on passe un bon moment et C’edt le principal …

A Rare Adaptation That Outshines Its Origin!!!!!
Word of Honor is genuinely exceptional—one of those rare adaptations that manages to surpass its original novel. The drama amplifies the emotional depth, especially the bond between the leads, making their relationship feel even more intense, layered, and alive on screen.What truly elevates the series is the chemistry. It’s not forced or exaggerated—it flows naturally, breathing life into the characters and making every interaction meaningful. You don’t just watch them; you feel them.
Visually, the show is stunning. From the costumes to the cinematography, every frame feels carefully crafted, adding to the overall immersive experience. And the performances deserve special praise—each actor embodies their role with sincerity and nuance, making even the side characters memorable.
It’s the kind of series that takes you through a full spectrum of emotions—joy, heartbreak, longing, and everything in between.

What happened to the mess?
Watching a sequel series, even with totally new characters, always means it will get compared to the first season and I gotta say, this season did not live up to the messiness of season one. Still, the show was very fun to watch, but given how wild season one was, I expected them to up the stakes of the drama, not dial it back. The actors did a great job, but it just felt like it was missing something.Jack (Earth) is writing the play for the senior theatre majors, and everyone expects his boyfriend Dean (Mix) to get the main role; however, now that they're actually ex-boyfriends, Raffy (Boom) plans to take Dean's spot as both the lead in the play and as Jack's boyfriend. Tua (Gawin), the costume designer, convinces his crush Arnold (Joss) to audition too, not thinking of how he'll feel watch his crush kiss someone else. Meanwhile, Raffy can't seem to stop running into his one-night stand Rome (Aou), who ends up working sound for the play. This group of friends (or more than friends) try to put on a play while tensions run high between them.
If this were a show that was not supposed to be a sequel to only friends, I would have rated it higher. The level of drama and mess that this show had didn't feel much higher than a typical friend group college BL. Considering in season one we had cheating, hookups and kisses outside of typical pairings, drugs, etc., this season felt so low stakes in comparison! Also you're telling me that with all of those actors we couldn't get a SINGLE kiss between two non-pairings?? Come on. Even Boston didn't make this show much messier, and he's BOSTON! If they end up doing more seasons, they better up the drama to be on par with season one again, because I felt like I was constantly waiting for the big drama-filled moment to come and it simply never did. I do think the show is still worth watching, and the actors do a great job with these characters, but don't expect the level of drama there was in season one because it's truly not there.

Public Interest
Razor-sharp dialogue, brilliant character growth, and a deeply satisfying David-vs-Goliath dynamic.However The compressed 12-episode format leaves the final corporate conspiracy arc feeling slightly rushed, and a few early episodes lean heavily into melodrama.The writing treats the audience with intelligence. It avoids easy, magical legal victories, choosing instead to showcase the grueling, bureaucratic reality of fighting for the marginalized.
A few of the episodes were absolute tearjerkers for me. I definitely recommend to watch not sure why they say it the genre is comedy

It's a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Untamed is, without a doubt, a masterpiece. Even after more than six years and over 100 rewatches, it never feels old—it still hits with the same intensity, the same emotion, every single time. That kind of staying power is rare.What truly sets it apart is how perfectly everything comes together. The storytelling is rich and layered, blending fantasy, politics, and deep emotional bonds without ever losing its core. The performances are incredibly compelling—subtle where they need to be, powerful where it counts. And the chemistry? Effortless, natural, and unforgettable.
It’s not just a show you watch once and move on from—it’s something you return to, each time discovering new details, new meanings. That’s what makes it special.
It’s almost funny that some people still hesitate to start it because of its 50 episodes. If anything, fans will tell you the opposite—it feels too short for the world it builds and the story it tells.
Honestly, it sets such a high standard that it’s hard to imagine another show surpassing it. It’s not just good—it’s one of those rare series that stays with you long after it ends.

Shunki Hashizume's mission
First chapter: an ice hockey player attempts suicide because he is gay. The minimum age to watch the series here in Denmark is 13 yo; poor teenager who is just discovering he/she is homossexual. As the series, which was primarily marketed to the LGBTQ+ audience (which constitutes total queerbaiting), is a succession of dramatic events, this same teenager will have as a benchmark that gay people don't deserve to be happy. Now it's understandable why the premiere of Soul Mate didn't happen in December, as planned. That month the LGBTQ+ community was intoxicated with the "queer joy" of Heated Rivalry. But director Shunki Hashizume is a defender of "queer misery," as he had already demonstrated in More than Words, the most homophobic series in history. For the creator, that teenager who is discovering him/herself deserves to suffer until his/her last drop of blood. This is Shunki Hashizume's mission in the world of entertainment. This is Shunki Hasizume´s agenda in the real world.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
