Beautiful Drama and I Cannot Find Anything Close
I am about to glaze the hell out of this drama, but for good reason. Like any piece of media I have minor nitpicks but other than that this drama is probably the best cdrama ive watched thus far. The chemistry is amazing, the plot is great, and the sexual assault is treated realistically but respectfully and there is no victim blaming from the male lead. The male lead is genuinely perfect like damn can I have a man like Sang Yan. The very few things I dislike about this drama are minor, such as the lack of development of the ML's rivals for the FL'S attention, as well as a kinda boring side couple, but other than that I loved this drama and I want more like it.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
It's a good watch
First thing I watched on a Monday morning 😭The yearning was definitely there and it was acted so nicely. You just wanna see them end up together, starts a bit comedic but they get serious by the end.
It's a good watch ngl, they acted very well. There's a couple of things which were not that good, first was the vampire music, it seemed more comedic than serious and second was the visual effects in the last fight, it didn't look good.
But apart from that it's a good watch very interesting and different!

Loved Everything but the Ending
EXTREMEEE SPOILERS BUT I NEED TO SAY IT.I almost have nothing bad to say about this drama. Acting was amazing, the plot was great, the couple had amazing chemistry and buildup, the CGI was not half bad. But the only thing that irritated me was the ENDING. Hei Fengxi having like 10 years left to live after saving Bai Fengxi was sooo stupid. So much build up and amazingness just to find out bro is gonna die soon. Maybe im just a sucker for a fairytale ending, but I personally cannot stand it.
TLDR: If you hate bittersweet endings, only watch till episode 38 and pretend thats the ending.

PRIMEIRA METADE AGRADÁVEL E SEGUNDA METADE TENEBROSA
Vamos lá.Esse projeto é definido para mim como dois polos distintos que se uniram formando uma coisa só. O primeiro polo é a primeira metade e o segundo é a segunda metade. Ou seja, eu vejo como 2 coisas completamente diferentes, e o que difere é a qualidade.
Essa é uma história de romance de escritório entre chefe x funcionária e a linha escolhida para trabalhar foi a do realismo. E bom, no começo foi realmente bem feito, eu estava me divertindo bastante acompanhando o dia a dia do escritório e vendo as interações entre os protagonistas, mas quando chegamos na segunda metade as escolhas de roteiro se tornaram cada vez mais decepcionantes e frustrantes.
Kang Si U é um homem reservado, competente e divorciado (sim, ele ser divorciado é uma parte importante da história). Já Cha Ji Yun é uma mulher comum, frustrada com o trabalho, também competente e com um relacionamento passado fracassado. Juntos eles se tornam algo, mas esse algo precisava de mais atenção na hora de trabalhar para que pudéssemos sentir a química e sinceridade do casal.
A trama é cheia de embates que compõem a sociedade coreana. Temos o estigma contra pessoas divorciadas, o conservadorismo, o preconceito contra casais com diferença de idade, o abuso no local de trabalho e corrupção. Todas essas coisas criam uma temática interessante de se acompanhar, mas só funciona na mão de quem sabe trabalhar.
Como eu disse anteriormente e volto a repetir, a primeira metade foi muito agradável. Tudo foi muito calmo, leve e humano, você conseguia entender e torcer pelos personagens, afinal, cada um deles estava passando por suas próprias coisas e encontrando no outro aquilo que sempre procurou. Tivemos o leve embate inicial, o respeito e admiração mútuo, as dúvidas, as implicâncias e enfim o começo da relação, mas depois disso tudo foi só ladeira abaixo episódio após episódio.
Cha Ji Yun sempre soube que seu namorado é um homem divorciado, mas do mais absoluto nada e pelos motivos mais fúteis possíveis ela se torna uma mulher ciumenta e insegura num nível realmente irritante e fere propositalmente seu namorado diversas vezes. E do outro lado temos o Kang Si U que se acha inferior a Cha Ji Yun e cede em absolutamente tudo o tempo todo por ela, e isso não é positivo.
Tem uma frase que o Kang Si U diz em um momento que resume bem toda essa situação para mim, ele diz "eu a amo mais do que ela me ama" e isso não poderia estar mais certo (e não temos um real desenvolvimento e conclusão para essa questão ao longo da história). Ele constantemente pisa em ovos ao redor dela.
Ambos os protagonistas possuem ex, mas apenas ela se sente no direito de ter ciúmes e ainda se tornar amiga do seu. Ela questiona cada mínima coisa sobre o relacionamento mesmo não sendo uma adolescente inexperiente. Tudo bem você parar e ponderar aspectos do seu relacionamento, mas a frequência com que ela faz isso e pensa somente nela e não nele torna tudo maçante e cansativo, e quando somamos isso ao constante amor, apoio e compreensão que o Kang Si U da a ela percebemos que essa é uma relação desigual. Por exemplo, durante o tempo que ela pede para ele, apenas ele se importou em manter as coisas minimamente bem, ele até doente ficou nesse meio tempo, mas o orgulho fez com que ela não desse o braço a torcer. Foi realmente patético de acompanhar.
Cha Ji Yun passa esses últimos episódios tendo atitudes infantis, sendo egoísta e pensando em todo mundo (e nela mesma) antes do seu parceiro. Eu conseguia sentir até uma leve manipulação velada mesmo que não intencional. E no meio dessa trajetória Kang Si U perde peso e profundidade como personagem, passando assim a viver apenas para orbitar ao redor da protagonista e tornar sua vida mais fácil. O conflito final com eles tornando o relacionamento público e o Kang Si U desistindo do emprego por isso foi só a última pá de terra. A desculpa de que ele desistiu por estar refletindo sobre a carreira e não querer chegar ao topo foi a coisa mais deplorável que eu já ouvi. Isso não combina com ele e o público sabe disso, afinal, a audiência não é burra. Ele desistiu do emprego por ela e isso é triste e decepcionante.
Sobre o casal secundário não tenho nada a dizer pois eu os achei neutros, não tenho nada contra e nada a favor. E quanto a equipe da força tarefa eu os achei realmente divertidos.
Resumindo, esse foi um projeto mediano porque perderam a mão no meio do caminho. E novamente voltando a algo que eu disse anteriormente, a química entre Kang Si U e Cha Ji Yun não parecia a melhor, afinal, as escolhas de roteiro e direção tornaram o relacionamento deles polido demais e o excesso não foi positivo.

Good Premise Bad Execution
I enjoyed the premise of the show. I love opposite aesthetic opposite personality couples and I like fantasy and all of that. To me this just fell flat.What I liked:
Costumes. The costumes for every character made sense but didnt feel too cliche and they didnt look super cheap.
Visuals. The visuals were quite beautiful. They were well done and felt very dreamesque.
Music. Music wasnt that special, but I liked it.
Side characters. The side characters were for the most part well written and while the most time wasnt spent on them, they werent boring or forgettable.
What I didnt like:
Plot. The plot was decent at first, but after about episode 20 where they go to the human realm it falls off. Shit about destiny and tribulations and an irritating amnesia arc with the female lead that leads her to hate the male lead. BORING YAWNING SLOPPY.
Worldbuilding. In theory the world sounded cool, but literally nothing was built up. Destiny books were never explained, the conflict between the Moon Tribe and Fairies was never explained all that well. A lot of stuff was never properly introduced and just felt like it was shoved in there to seem cool or for plot devices.
Main characters. I wanted to love them so bad, but the female lead is sooo whiny and annoying for most of the show. I love me a good badass female lead, and she was not one. The male lead was badass and an interesting character at first, but once he got his emotion tree fixed he became just as annoying as the female lead.
Ending. The ending was so rushed. Male lead gets mega killed and then mysteriously pops back up despite being "dead for good" come the fuck on. Dumb as hell.
TLDR: if you like cliches with a million plotholes, this is your shit. if not, i wouldnt bother.

The Beauty of Growing Up
After watching the first six episodes of Genius Girlfriend, I can honestly say that this drama has quietly found its way into my heart.The cinematography is absolutely beautiful. Every frame is bathed in soft, nostalgic light, capturing the bittersweet feeling of youth with remarkable tenderness. There is a dreamlike quality to the visuals, as though we are looking back on our own memories through the eyes of the characters.
What moved me most, however, was the emotional depth of the story. Genius Girlfriend doesn't rely on exaggerated drama to make an impact. Instead, it gently tugs at your heartstrings through moments that feel real. I found pieces of myself in so many of the characters. We have all experienced the pressure to succeed, the fear of not fitting in, the loneliness of feeling different, and the desire to be understood by the people around us.
Tian Xiwei's portrayal of Lin Zhixia is especially captivating. She perfectly captures the intelligence, innocence, vulnerability, and quiet resilience of a girl who stands out from everyone else while desperately wanting to belong. Her soothing line delivery sets the tone for the entire drama and makes every emotion feel sincere and natural.
The original soundtrack deserves special praise as well. Every song complements the story beautifully, adding another layer of warmth, nostalgia, melancholy, and hope. The ending theme, in particular, lingers long after each episode ends.
Six episodes in, Genius Girlfriend has already reminded me why stories about youth can resonate so deeply. Sometimes the most ordinary stories leave the most lasting impressions because, in one way or another, they tell our own stories as well.

Absolutely Loved It except the last 2 episodes.
Great amazing chemistry between the 2 leads. To me, this is Yang Yang's top 3 (with You are my Glory & Love O2O). I love their banter; especially when FL calls him "Black Fox". His collaboration with Zhao Lusi is top notch; even better chemistry than Zheng Shuang (Love O2O) and Dilraba (Glory). They should have kept the war scenes simpler and shorter. The only 2 things I did not like are ML shortening his life to save FL and the little boy dying at the end. There is too much mishaps in this world to show a little boy's death. They should have finished the story in e38 after the wedding and just show what happened to the rest of the characters after 5 year ie. the lady general and the elder prince etc and have the main villain die by either the curse or by his own hands. Finally, here's hoping that ML & FL collaborate in more dramas.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

A LIFE REALITY TURNED INTO COMEDY
behind the comedy of this show is the reality in love life nowadays, for the reason we dont know , we now have to think about stability when we date; we think about how will we able to support who we date and take care of them with the money and resources we have, it is now pressuring to date someone because both of your future is already handed on our shoulders ! if no resources and not stable, sad we better not date than to be a burdensome.Inspite of that reality, this show reminds us that it above all of these things that needs to be considered in meeting someone and having someone in your life doesnt mean we stop loving; and to love means to fight for your love even when you have to start a business, even when you have to prove yourself, because sometimes when we are in those kind of situations, even when we do not like it; we have to prove ourselves in order to prove our love! And those things became more colorful with my Ultimate Bias TayNew; this guys have this unexplainable bubbly bond that even whatever genre they've put together, its was always like so so good together; justice was served althroughout this show with TayNew; proving no money no title can go against true love ♥
Some people were not pleased with this drama, and that is okay, but for me; in the situation of my life, this is all I've needed; the comedy was not too much, the Love scenes were wild but light in the heart; specially when To and Kanit role plays and the way the whisper talks ! You people will never understand why TayNew is my happy pill forever !
The Flow of the story is right on track all the way, The Second leads were just okay coz I did not pay too much attention to them coz To and Kanit is enough for me, but it was okay. I just wonder why of all the the days of their lives, emergency still happened on their wedding ceremony , but I realize as what they talked about at the end is that's what life is; we do not know when will emergency come that's why we always choose to be happy.
If I am to recommend something to make this show improve is that, I really hoped that the second lead's story were written better; it was just a bit awkward for me for the reason I don't know .. I am sorry that I cannot feel and see the chemistry of do they have that ? The Acting of TayNew it is already given ! bubbly mature roles , and can I commend Tawan because at some scenes, he looked like Karan and then turned into Toto again ! he is really a good actor ! I've noticed few awkward gestures to him anymore unlike before ! and of course Newwie .. He is a combination of Baby and Princess HAHAH
This drama will be added to my re watch lists one day and I'm gonna go back here! Thank you for reading and thank you for making this show ! 11/10 for me ♥

If "Bluetooth Device has connected" was a movie.
Thousands of movies telling us not to experiment things you don't fully understand yet again they do it anyways. First hundreds of movies, series, documentaries on how using AI on large-scale without understanding it consequences fully can be so dangerous yet it's happening right now, in front of everyone by money hungry people, sane will happen soon like in this movie, zombie apocalypse is much nearer thsn you think, and when it'll come, you won't be surprised as it's already a normal thing in our heads now.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Did they choose the wrong FL?
The drama should come with a health warning. It is draining on mental health and creates a negative & depressing emotions. In the age where political conflicts are happening all over the world, we do not need more angst & anxiety in our entertainment. I have nothing against the FL but like all her other dramas, FL can't act. She is stone faced and wooden in every expression except the crying and smirking. She spoils the show; just like she spoiled the "Fireworks of my Heart" with her bland & boring acting. The storyline is not bad if they had a better FL. Absolutely no chemistry between the two leads. Also, is it necessary to have so much makeup on! The eyeliners are so visible, especially in the ML, that they stood out more than the drama & the FL! Overdo? They should amend the title to Overdone (by eyeliners)!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

A união e o apoio de todos realmente faz diferença!!
Fiquei ansiosa para assistir a este dorama depois que vi o trailer, tanto pelo fato de ter atores incríveis participando quanto pela história da série (que te prende muito e faz com que você peça por mais e mais episódios, assistindo a um atrás do outro). É o tipo de dorama engraçado para assistir com toda a família, pois com certeza todos vão rir de verdade.No começo, me irritei com algumas atitudes da Chae-ni, mas ela estava passando por dificuldades. Saber que você tem poucos meses de vida não é fácil, e eu fiquei muito feliz que tudo se resolveu bem no final e não teve tragédia nenhuma. Pensei também que a 'criança da eternidade' na verdade era ela e que algo tinha acontecido antes, fazendo com que ela mudasse muito para não descobrirem quem era o portador do grande poder.
Mesmo sendo totalmente atrapalhados, e depois de muita insistência para usarem os poderes do jeito certo, eles conseguem unir forças e salvar a cidade (pena que todos que viram isso acontecendo se esqueceram de tudo, porém, é bom que eles continuem fazendo isso sem ficarem saindo em tudo que é lugar).
Gostei que, além da comédia em toda a série, ainda conseguiram encaixar um romance entre a Chae-ni e o Un-jeong que, mesmo sendo totalmente diferentes, combinam demais!!
*Menção honrosa para a trilha sonora magnífica que deixou tudo mais mágico!!!!

amazing but the ending
This was a beautiful depiction of a star athlete losing most of his vision and how he needed to come to terms with that loss in order to move on. Along the way, Day fell in love with his caretaker, the man who brought him out into the sun. Some people might even say that Mohk was his sun.The actors did an amazing job, I genuinely saw their anguish and joy in throughout the show. The music was pretty good but I wasn't particularly impressed or emotionally invested in the music.
My biggest complaint is that this show is Day dealing with his issues. It feels like Mohk is just there to be his support. The last episode highlights how Day will never help Mohk. It makes the relationship feel incredibly one sided and I want the best for Mohk since he is genuinely the best boyfriend.
The ending ruined the replay value for me despite my love for the show.

Young cutie and older cutie being cute together while cooking and eating
This is a comfort BL for me. I came here after Kishi Knight for Tanaka-san, and I was not disappointed. Kishi Knight is better overall, but this was a sweet story with low drama and supportive side characters. There's nothing particularly original about this story but it's satisfying. I like the MLs and their honest internal narration of their emerging feelings. I like BLs that center around cooking, so that was a win for me. And I loved how warm their interactions were throughout. I also appreciate that this wasn't a coming out story. Love who you love, sweeties!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Revenge with a side of industry realness
I wanna start off by saying, on behalf of all of us, thank you to Toptap for giving acting one last try, I can't imagine Jay played by anyone else.This series was so well done in my opinion.
We all know these types of scenarios, and horrors, happen in the entertainment industry, and if you didn't then I hate to be the one to share that, but rarely do we see the real-life villains pay for their crimes. The ending was extremely satisfying in that regard.
Minlee and Toptap's chemistry was insane, the NC scenes were GIVING. The character development of Sun, and seeing him change throughout the series was a treat-- to finally see him give a real smile during that press conference was everything to me.
The reoccurring theme, with a handful of characters, of seeking revenge was a nice touch I am currently in the process of reading the novel as well.
Between Sky getting revenge in the form of overcoming the trauma he endured, The manager proving he had what it takes to make a star shine, Jay getting revenge on the whole panel at Dream in behalf of what happened to his mother and of course our main revenge arc from Sun against Sunny--it was so many different flavors of revenge imo.
Sunny's ending wasn't surprising at all, I took away from it that he was always a broken man, sleeping his way to the top was how he started and how he planned to start again.
The last scene at the hospital where he acknowledges revenge didn't really make him happy after all was the result we all expected. To see him lean on Jay for support so often in the final episodes showed the opposite of Sunny's ending, he started out a broken man and softened in the process of seeking revenge.
I can't praise this series enough, but I will stop here before I break down every part that impressed me.
I cannot wait to see them in something else together in the future, I wanna see what else Toptap can give us~
