I don't have any words left to describe how beautiful this drama is.
Hats off to the story writer and the amazing production crew. Also a big round of applause to the actors who portrayed their roles perfectly. While watching the drama you can see and feel that the actors really became one with their respective characters.

Wonderful. Absolutely Intriguing. Perfect romantic-comedy. This show is so so much better than any other overrated shows. Storyline is perfect with perfect ending. Loved every part of this show from cast to chemistry from dialogues to filming locations and cinematography too. This drama is so hilarously funny! Watch it for a nice time of laughter with the really good looking young cast. Main actor Ahn HS is so handsome (in a Park SJ kinda way) ? did they have the same stylist? ?

The badass female tai chi prodigy and her grumpy-wolf master

Actually, I’ve heard of this show long ago, but never have the courage to pick it up because the plot sounds simplistic and a little cliché. Few weeks ago, when I was scrolling through the review section, I read someone else’s review about this show, so I decided to give it a go. The funny thing is that I coincidentally watched it together alongside Link Click and there is the yet-to-be-aired Treasures Around, which means that I have been watching three of Bi Wenjun’s works in a row. I don’t even know if this is a coincidence or fate hahaha…

As I’ve said above, the story is really, really simple. To me, it is just a typical university romance plot which is targeted to younger audience, I suppose. It tells us about Feng Piaopiao (FL), a new transfer student at CMFU who took art and calligraphy major. Before I continue, I must say that CMFU is kinda out of place compared to other normal universities. Aside from art and calligraphy, CMFU had some ridiculous majors such as tai chi, judo, boxing, karate, taekwondo, and even swimming. Where can we find such a university in these days, bro?

Despite entering art and calligraphy major, Piaopiao never took interest in those things, and she only entered after having ‘stolen’ her grandfather’s artwork. Because of her grandfather’s flawless painting, Piaopiao was loathed by everyone and accused of cheating. One night, Piaopiao sneaked out to ‘borrow’ another of her grandfather’s painting, as the latter had been ruined by her rival, Jin Rou and Ai Jia. Unexpectedly, she met Wei Chu, the leader of CMFU’s student council who was also the heir to the same tai chi clan that her grandfather once betrayed. Unaware of his identity, Piaopiao rescued him after confronting the students of boxing major.

Wei Chu gradually grew suspicious of Piaopiao’s identity after several encounters. A little accident occurred, and Wei Chu’s legs were paralyzed and couldn’t walk for the time being. Feeling very guilty to Wei Chu, Piaopiao offered to help him do the household chores. In other words, she had become his ‘slave’.

Later, they developed a master-disciple relationship after Piaopiao’s grandfather acknowledged Wei Chu’s background. In addition to gruesome training, Piaopiao still had to do chores nonstop and face her grumpy yet demanding master. However, after spending some time together, Piaopiao and Wei Chu finally saw eye to eye and became more understanding towards each other.

The acting may not be top-notch since this show was produced back in 2018/2019, when they were still newbies or rookie actors. Despite them not being able to deliver their lines outstandingly, I still love their characters and am sure that there is still room for improvement in the future. I especially like Feng Piaopiao, the adorable yet badass little sweetie. Sun Qian embodied her role and captured the essence of Piaopiao’s character. I surely will look out for her future works. As for Bi Wenjun, he’s neither good nor bad, but mediocre at best. However, I think that he had done his best considering that this is debut role, but sometimes I feel that his expressions are a bit of wooden. Supporting casts are so-so, but still love them though. Also, the tai chi fighting scenes are executed well. You can see that the actors put much effort to bring out the essence of tai chi or so.

What makes me drawn into this show is the beautiful scenery of nature and the profound traditional Chinese arts and culture. You can see that every shot is taken meticulously, and view is breathtaking and refreshing while also incorporating the in-depth culture of Chinese. I suppose the production is reducing budget on the costume because they keep wearing the same clothes from time to time, but I do like the traditional hanfu that they wear at the competition. I have a slight complain on the ML’s outfit – why does he always wear tight-fitted sweaters? Is he having a cold or what?

Overall, a nice and fluffy watch. If you’re looking for some fluffy shows without many conflicts to relieve your boredom, you can give this a shot though you have to be aware of some illogical stuffs and plot holes. However, don’t expect heavy romance – the leads have few intimate contacts and only kiss 4 times throughout the show. I’m not here for the romance, so why bother? But, if you want some kind of heavy wuxia drama, you can skip this. Good luck and happy watching!

This is by far the most gripping thriller I’ve watched. There’s just the right balance of everything: action, comedy, horror, suspense, mystery, romance. The best part is the crime story. It is so well written and everything ties up so well. Every minute is worth the watch and I really hope there’s a season 2.
After watching about almost a hundred of kdramas, I began to get bored at all kdrama romance and all that, some are just very predictable and nothing new to me so I left kdrama for a while BUT Guys, if you're getting bored at kdramas but got some time to kill, GO WATCH THIS DRAMA, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
This drama for me is literally not like the other kdramas with those steamy kisses and cheesy cringe-worthy romances and ridiculously doesn't make sense twists and tragedy or trauma, this is entirely different.

Just finished the series. As a loyal Kdrama fan, this drama was a beautiful addition to my favourite dramas. It was indeed a fun ride filled with twists and turns, I loved how fast-paced it was. It felt like it had everything a show needed, The twist after twist had blown my mind and heart again and again throughout all episodes. This series is the mixture of drama, fantasy, comedy, suspense, thriller and action. Full of crucial life lessons, realization and tackled different issues happening in our society even right now.(child abuse, bullying, corrupt law authorities, injustices, unemployment, not giving importance and enough credits to the workers etc) Also currently reading the webtoon version. So far, I personally prefers the series more than the webtoon (though it's just me, still recommending y'all to read the webtoon if you're interested, I'm enjoying it rn). The series has more depth and emotion put into each of the characters story and the whole plot in general. The casting for Yee Jae, his mother, Ji soo, Jin Tae, Jae Seop, Hyuk Soo, Joo Hoon, Tae Sang, Geonwoo, Death, etc... was too good to be true too. (I have a love-hate relationship with the casting crews, they're doing their jobs real good).

I really like Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young's chemistry, the story is so beautiful as well. I love their chemistry, At first they did not look good individually to me, but after I finish this, I wanted to see more of their dramas. Especially Seo In Guk. Hopefully he will do more romance dramas in the future.
The story is good but honestly, I watched the 2nd leads part in 2x speed. I wanted more scenes of the main leads. to be honest, after some episode I got bored because the story was to slow. The makers should have end the story in almost 10 to 12 episodes.
If you watch this drama from my point of view, this drama is actually good.
By the final episode, the drama left several loose ends, which were explained indirectly. However, the series ended happily, with Dong-Kyung defeating her illness as well as Myul-Mang being born as a mortal human being. The two vow to live happily ever after.

Cuter than expected!!

The main characters Moo and Kang come from different worlds but fate has brought them together in the random province of Nakhon Pathom, and showed them that home is a person, not a place.

Together, they have a relaxed but natural chemistry. My only complaint would be that this same chemistry could be said of close siblings. The romance aspect had to work a little harder for the story to be sold because the kisses seemed a little stiff and awkward.

Still, it’s a great effort from the two new actors, who currently still lack flourish and polish in their acting, but I’m certain they will get there given the right storyline and experiences.

It was a pleasant surprise that the storyline didn’t involve childish conflicts and misunderstandings, which are, sadly, all too common in high school and college BLs.

BUT. Special shoutout too to the side couple. I’m glad Aun got his time to shine with Only Boo. His relationship with co-star Ashi is a close-friends-turned-lovers type of arc, and truth be told, I’m a real sucker for it. Compared to the main couple, their moments felt more natural and romantic at some points.

I just completed watching this C-Drama and I really really loved this show. I enjoyed the chemistry between the leads and all the member of team K&K... their dedication, responsibility, persistence and hard work is commendable?????? (specially Hu Yitian). It's literally worth watching. I think I have my feeling attached to go go squid. Though han shangyan (male lead) look had cruel expressions but honestly his personality is displayed as one of the best and most warmth characters. I genuinely loved this drama alot. I still adore this drama alot though its kinda lengthy in terms of c drama but honestly speaking If you watch this drama it would be one of the best rom com drama ever watched. Must watch!!!!!!!!.

In this show FL (tong nian) reflect outstanding personalities trust, love, responsibility, desire, support, temper, behavior and bonding towards her family and Han Shangyan.

Li Xian?, I'm really a fan of his acting and his good looks... he is a real gun god???. In Han ShangYan character he had the F*ck off face all the time, but because of his drop dead good looks?you can't get annoyed watching his ugly personality. He reflects best person through their character and inspire many adults for everything he did.
Here the love story is damn cute and lovable with all understandings. I just say what a outstanding performance by all characters... All the characters in the drama makes up to the main characters and makes you to not only watch for the leads but other characters as well

I recently completed watching this drama and I personally don't like it that much. The story was pretty good with humor, romance, and all the artists have played their roles brilliantly, and the story is truly amazing but not that good because I watched many time traveling dramas. You know whats got wrong in a romance fantasy drama? It’s just that most of the time endings are disappointing. Its same with this drama too at some point but they do correct that with fast forwarding the life and then they give happy ending in the end.
I won't stop you from watching it if you so want; everyone has different tastes in dramas. Perhaps you would appreciate this one. The story of this drama is that a 26 year old son goes to the past where his mom is 16 and tries to get her to marry her “husband” to change her fate. You have to take the story for what it is and for a 20 episode series with 30 mins each, it's hard to unpack a lot.

I already watched same story drama named "twinkling watermelon". Where son accidentally goes back to the past and meet his father and then he tries to prevent an accident of past where his father became deaf. And he also tries to match his father with his mother because The future will start to change negatively when he travels too far in the past.

Overall, it's upto you if you want to watch this drama or not but I personally don't like it that much because I feel like there is lack of humor, romance and production was also bad. And it has some unexpected cuts where story suddenly changes especially when new episode starts.

The best sports drama I've ever seen and also the couples throughout the story are spectacular. The scenes of Tae-joon and Taeyang are relatable to many and hence we feel so close to the characters.Tae-joon and Taeyang are forever going to stay in my heart and be one of my favorite kdrama couple. The other couples were phenomenal too. I smiled and cried with the characters. It was an emotional rollercoaster so much so that after the drama ended, I feel empty.

Also fell in love with Junghwan and Yumin's chemistry. Hats- off to Chae Jong Hyeop, Park Ju-hyun, Kim Mu-jun, Park Ji-hyun and the rest of the cast for their amazing and phenomenal performance. There isnt a single moment of boredom throughout the drama which is rare, the episodes are perfectly paced, and the couples' chemistry is just a cherry on the top. I kept on smiling throughout and yet there were scenes where I cried with the characters. It depicts the life of an athlete perfectly.

Watch this drama if you want to know the real-life struggles of an athlete and if you want something calming and healing for your heart and most importantly, watch the drama for the Park-Twins!

Overall, this drama is a perfect blend of emotions and I recommend everyone to watch it and give it a go even if sports isn't your genre. ITS A MUST WATCH!! It is worth it!!

After reading some of the reviews I was a bit sceptical about watching the drama but I made up my mind to risk it because after all the lead is Ji Chang Wook. After watching the first 3 episodes I thought well some of the jokes are really cheesy and I hate cheesy jokes but I kept laughing uncontrollable (maybe that was a Chang Wook effect ??). Few more episodes in and the storyline got emotional, comic relief was offered at the right time, no more cheesy jokes and everything just came together wonderfully. Reading reviews are good but it's best to dive right in and form an opinion for yourself and that is what I did and now I don't have no regrets. Ji Chang Wook nailed it again and his onscreen chemistry with Won Jin A is heart fluttering, I got butterflies a few times ?? give it a watch ???

The initial quest for revenge by the main lead adds an intriguing layer, but as the story unfolds, it beautifully transforms into a tale of love and protection. All the artists have played their roles brilliantly, and the story is truly amazing but not that good because its a average kdrama story which we seen in many kdramas. You know whats got wrong in a romance fantasy drama? It’s just that most of the time endings are disappointing ,same with this too at some point but they do correct that with like fast forward the life and then they give happy endings to cast in another life. I mean yeah it’s a problem when choosing this type of plots for drama but they should consider good endings too at the end. Well anyway, Kim young Day ,I mean how can he act so good in that way. Well before this I watched shooting stars and I know the drama also took and nurture that acting but still he does evolve with every drama.
