i love this movie as i like kim muyeol

i really enjoyed this from the first episode. the story was serious, but still engaging and easy to follow. i liked how the drama made the inspectors feel almost like a safe place for the students. simple concept, strong execution, and a lot of emotional impact. and then, that trio and the father in-law duo are such an absolute combo that they can teach you a lesson. and only the victim of the legendary 5 FINGERA SLAP know how hard it actually stings.


"if adult become afraid of children the world is doomed."
violence isnt the answer but some people never seem to understand the question. and i think, the trio need to do a world tour and teach everyone a lesson HA HA HA!


OMG 10 EPISODE of na hwa-jin aura farming!!!!! i need him in my country NOW. S2 JUSEYOOOOOO

Is it a cute romcom to watch when bored: Yes ; BUT

Honestly i really liked this drama and would have given it 7 maybe even 9 stars but the problem is that this is an adaptation. I was and am a very big fan of the WEBTOON this drama is adapted from and honestly very sad that they completely rewrote the entire story BUT I also have to say that the new story is a very fun and cute story, it is very catching and honestly I finished this drama in one sitting, it was just that fun to watch. In terms of acting and story it is pretty satisfactory which I am normally pretty critical about so that's good. The story doesn't drag on too long, there are some cliche scenes but let's be honest a romcom without cliche or cringe scenes does not qualify as a romcom in my eyes. The chemistry of the leads was also pretty good in my opinion. The only real complaint I have if we look at the story alone is that they focused too little on the pregnancy, honestly I forgot she was pregnant for like 2-3 episodes, which is pretty bad for a drama BUILT on an accidental pregnancy trope but the rest was pretty okay in my opinion. I still think they should've just had dropped the whole adaptation bit because there is litterally almost like except for one or two things nothing from the original story, which is why I don't understand why they just didn't promote it as a seperate drama.
In summary I would say that this is worth a watch, just don't expect it to be the same story as the WEBTOON. That's the only reason for the lost stars :(

Light-hearted Drama with a Stellar Cast and Lots of Fun (and Frustrating) Moments

Let me start by giving an old production warning since it’s something to keep in mind when watching this drama. The Legend of Rosy Clouds was filmed back in 2023 and suffered from censorship and copyright issues which means it has some questionable editing, random scene cuts and incoherent storytelling, especially in the initial episodes. To top it all, this drama is fairly low budget so you can expect some mediocre action scenes, beautiful but repetitive costumes and overall, a pretty outdated production quality.

The underlying plot had potential but failed to execute it properly. The plot lacked depth and proper build up, so events just appeared to happen out of nowhere. Some abrupt scene cuts meant you had to pretty much guess what happened and stitch the story yourself to make it make sense. The story also had a Wuxia/Fantasy backdrop which wasn't set up at all and made certain fantasy elements stick out sorely, being unable to be integrated into the story.

So, if you are a fan of the original work or just a lover of the current high-budget costume dramas with strong plot and cohesive storytelling, it is best to approach this drama with some caution.

Then what’s good about this drama? I’d say the humour. Personally, the comedy is the biggest strength of this drama, which makes it really engaging and fun to watch. At times, the humour is subtle, at times it's loud but it’s thoroughly entertaining and never failed to make me laugh. Most of the characters are also interesting (even if rather underdeveloped) and have really fun dynamics which don't feel forced and are naturally funny thanks to the strong acting by the entire cast.

Which brings us to the strongest attraction of this drama - its stellar cast. Joseph Zeng, Li Yitong, Deng Wei, Riley Wang, Dai Luwa, Tian Jiarui and Cheng Hongxin in one drama, need I say more? As this drama was filmed before most of them had their breakthrough, it’s filled with some big names in supporting roles, so rest assured the acting is in good hands.

I loved Joseph as our male lead, Qi Zheng. He is goofy, expressive and fun but also clever and clear-headed when the situation calls for it. He is sincere in his actions and has such a fun dynamic with literally every single character. I only wish they had toned down his jealously a bit. While it’s my first time seeing Li Yitong, I liked her as the kind and decisive Fan Yun who stepped up for everyone. She’s smart and rational with big dreams and very little interest in romance. It takes some time for the drama to properly establish the tone of her character, but I think it does somewhat get there eventually.

The romance is there but it’s not the central focus of the story. The love triangle is also there but again, not the focus. And I personally found the main couple cute, so I didn’t care much for the second male lead, Zheng Shi. Just watch it for Deng Wei’s duality and pretty visuals, and Zheng Shi's relationship with his grandfather which was unexpectedly really heartfelt.

The second couple on the other hand is a total scene stealer. Gao Ran and Wei Shisan were a refreshing contrast to the main couple, and their romance was really cute and wholesome. Riley and Dai Luwa were amazing together and have such great chemistry that I definitely need them as leads in another drama.

Tian Jiarui and Cheng Hongxin as a duo or with Joseph as a trio is my most favourite part of this drama. I’m admittedly biased but they lit up every scene they were in. I really enjoyed their interactions and loved every second they were on my screen.

In fact, this is one of those dramas where I was more invested in the fillers than the actual plot. So, if you have a cast member anchoring you to the story, it's definitely worth trying because the character dynamics, especially the side characters are really fun. If you don’t but are in a mood for something light and fun, it’s still worth a shot to see if you can overlook the imperfections.

Overall, The Legend of Rosy Clouds is pretty flawed. On a normal day, I would not go around recommending this drama to anyone. But as fan of the cast, I'm honestly just glad that this drama was finally released and generally enjoyed my time watching this thanks to all the fun moments. If you can survive the flaws, this drama is still visually pretty with some really nice osts, great acting and exceptionally good comedy.

So, if you are willing to give it some grace, you might actually be able to enjoy it. Just keep your expectations low, don't think too deeply and simply go with the flow.

One of the Best Action Movies but Very Unrealistic

How come that you can still kill more people after being injured by axes, knives, and a bomb explosion?

Nothing really beats a Jackie Chan action film, but please, make it more realistic. You dragged a good story that could've ended well. It started with kids doing the heist, then suddenly they were just reduced to almost nothing towards the end of the film. Also, why is Tony Leung just a support role when his character was the reason why they stretched the story to a lousy end. He killed tens of gangsters with weapons, only to be arrested by a handful of policemen after being subdued by a woman he almost killed like a child's play.

I'll just keep it here. It started big and explosive, but how they tied up the story is very disappointing.

I just need one night, to show you I'm the right guy

Starting, of course, with "I just need one night, to tell you I'm the right guy. 🎶" I think everyone will agree that their performances at Moonlit Bar were absolutely lit! Seeing their behind-the-scenes practice clips made it even more impressive. They were definitely not playing around with those dance performances. Even the action scenes were executed really well. Kudos to the entire cast!

Back to the story, the plot was very interesting. A police officer and a host. They delivered it well, though I'll admit there were still some missed opportunities. But the chemistry and visuals of UpPoom were never in question.

I really loved the ending. That low-key marriage? Heart, heart! ❤️

And of course, the true show-stealer... our baby Singto!! Love that kid. 🥹

Daddy Issues

Starting with this: Fluke Pusit is so handsome. Hahaha. I also loved Nuea's sassiness.
Honestly, if we're going based on the title, it sounds pretty cringe. Because of it, I was expecting a super rich man who constantly spoils his lover. But there was none of that. He just wanted to be called "Daddy." I think the real daddy here is the villain uncle because all his kids have daddy issues... plus the secret child plot twist. 🤣🤣
I actually loved the first two episodes of this series. Then, as usual, my interest started to drift away. The story didn't feel solid. I couldn't tell if it wanted to focus on character development, the business storyline, or the romance. A lot of plots were introduced, but almost all of them were wrapped up in an unsatisfying way. For example, what happened to Saithan's relationship with his mother? And what happened to Manmeung?
I don't mind having a GL side couple, but at this point, I honestly didn't know who the main couple was anymore. The girls took up so much screen time, especially in the finale. Ironically, I was more invested in the kids because they portrayed the confusion of discovering their feelings in a very realistic way.
Fluke and Nuea had good chemistry, and their acting was decent. I just hope they get a much stronger story next time.

This story had enough potential to be a full-length series

I've been waiting to watch this for so long because I wanted to binge all three stories from Fourever You 2 together, and I think I made the right decision 😅❤️

I'll be honest, after Fourever You, this one left me a little disappointed. It started off really well, and the actors did an amazing job. I could genuinely feel Phoon's pain in the first few episodes, and I was excited to see where his journey would go.

My biggest issue was that everything felt too rushed. Phoon went from constantly seeking his father's approval and living in fear, to standing up against him, pursuing P'Fah, and deciding to tell everyone the truth almost overnight. Healing from a place that dark takes time, and I wish the series had actually shown us that journey instead of skipping straight to the end. I think that would've made his character growth much more satisfying to watch.

I also felt P'Fah accepted his feelings a little too easily. One moment, Phoon was nothing more than his younger brother, and the next, after learning the truth about the letters, he was basically like, "Oh, it was Phoon? Well, I guess I love my younger brother then." 🤷🏻‍♀️
Bro didn't even take a moment to process everything before accepting his feelings. I just wish we'd seen a little more internal conflict because that transition also felt way too quick.

Overall, I don't think it's a bad story at all. The emotional foundation was strong, the cast did a great job, and the chemistry was there. I just wish the story had slowed down and let the characters grow more naturally. Honestly, I think this story had enough potential to be a full-length series of around 10–12 episodes. Giving the characters more time to grow and breathe would've made the emotional payoff so much stronger.

PS: Please don't take this personally. These are simply my opinions. Everyone experiences stories differently, and this review is only about the writing and the characters, not the actors themselves. ❤️

Bad direction but the story and the acting is art

Okay, the moment we hit the climax twist, I knew this was not an original script cause netflix doesnt have the balls to make something like this. It's based on a Spanish play.

With that said, I think the story itself is art. I agree with others that at some points, even with just 6 episodes, it gets boring. But overall, if you think about the irony of it all, it's wonderful.

Mun Ho is basically a trash person. Lee Kang is literally a product of his own making. He has systematically been trying to destroy his own life, and Lee Kang was just a catalyst for it. Dare I say, Munho's ending would have been similar even if Lee Kang never existed. He willfully pushed his wife away, was horrible to students and his peers, and hasn't published anything in years. Obsessed with what others have, he never developed anything for himself, by himself. Always focused on the wrong things. And Lee Kang was the catalyst for him to ruin his own life.

In the end, he was addicted to Lee Kang. He was willing to go at it again, because to him, the rest of his life doesn't matter; he wants the most interesting story, and Lee Kang is that. In fact, you see Munho actually put words on paper at the end. Meaning - Lee Kang has actually liberated Mun Ho - from his job, from a wife he doesn't love, and from his writer's block.

We might hate Mun Ho or Lee Kang. But it's really a beautiful story. It looks like everything around Mun Ho was destroyed, but literally no harm has happened in the world to anyone; Mun Ho just ended up being liberated from his miserable life. And that's why he is willing to go back to Lee Kang.


Also like i'm a fucking fan of choi hyunwook now. the way this man has brilliant range, and is not scared of taking such unhinged characters needs to be studied. Hats off to the guy. Most korean actors are just pretty faces or the good ones just stick to one niche. This guy consistently blows my mind. I LOVEE HIS ASS SO MUCH

An Extreme Roller Coaster Ride That Won't Let You Catch Your Breath

This was easily one of the best roller coaster rides I've had with a Kdrama It was so fast paced that I could barely process one plot twist before another hit. I wasn't skipping scenes because I was bored I was skipping the intro and rushing to the next episode because I genuinely couldn't wait to see what happened next. I usually have a very short attention span, but this drama had me hooked from start to finish.The plot itself is around 8.5/10, but the writing and direction are a solid 9.5/10. Everything flowed so well, every twist landed, and the suspense kept building. The acting? 10/10. Every actor delivered, and not a single performance felt weak.
Hyun Wook absolutely killed it. After being disappointed with My Dearest Nemesis (especially since I'd been waiting to see him again after Twinkling Watermelon and Weak Hero), this drama completely reminded me why he's one of my favorites. This is easily one of his best performances.

I've seen people giving this drama a 7/10, and I genuinely don't get it. For me, it's a 9.5/10 without hesitation. Some reviews seem overly focused on that one kiss scene. If that's not your thing, you can literally skip it. Don't let one scene stop you from watching an otherwise incredible drama.

If you love fast-paced thrillers with constant twists that keep you glued to the screen, this is a must-watch. Just don't go in expecting a slow burn you'll be thrown straight into the chaos, and that's exactly what makes it so good.

Nice and frustrating at the same time

Why I liked it: Love Alarm is a versatile k-drama that offers both romance and smiles, but also shows a lot of burdens that the characters experience. It shows relationships in many different forms and has the ability to make you happy and sad.

Could have been better:

Okay so I actually liked most of the plot except the main theme, the application Love Alarm. IT IS NOT NEEDED FOR CONFESSING YOUR FEELINGS. And the character’s obsession with it drives me crazy. Like how realistic is it to pull up an app while you’re emotionally hurt, just to see if your girlfriend who wants to break up with you, actually doesn’t like you anymore. Build more sincere relationships instead. So sorry, Love Alarm is good but without the actual Love Alarm.

I literally found all the characters more or less annoying.
List of why I disliked some characters:
Kim Jo Jo: How could she not tell Hwang Seon O why she wanted to break up?
Hwang Seon O: Dated Lee Yuk Jo while still having feelings for Kim Jo Jo and not even liking his current girlfriend. I think he was a bit overprotective as Kim Jo Jo’s boyfriend too.
Park Gul Mi: Probably the most obvious one, treated her cousin very badly, for instance she stole from Jo Jo. I just have to mention how stunning she was though, like I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
Kim Jo Jo’s “friends”: Don’t even get me started.
Kim Jo Jo’s aunt: Pretty obvious too, but I feel like she had some, even if very little, potential in the end of the series.
Hwang Seon O’s parents: How can you want to kill your own child, hate and talk about him like they did? I feel very bad for Hwang Seon O.

Honorable mentions to actually nice people:
Kim Min Jae: He seemed very nice and caring.
Lee Hye Yeong: My favorite character, the only flaw I can find is he dated his best friend’s ex.
Lee Hye Yeong’s mother: So sweet and caring.
Also need to say that while I don’t like Il Shik, I think he got better after Kim Jo Jo broke up with him.

Why did Love Alarm end with such a cliffhanger? I also feel like the flashbacks and the sudden four year jump were handled poorly, which made the story unclear and confusing.

Overall, the story was very frustrating but still enjoyable. A lot of question marks and weird decisions, but still a good show lol.

Realizing now that my review has been very focused on the negative aspects but I can ensure that I most of the time really enjoyed watching it. I’m excited to watch the second season!

I Started This Blind and Was Left Amazed. Literally a Perfect Series

Honestly, it’s rare for me to like every single character in a BL series, but Love of Silom takes the cake. I genuinely enjoyed every character, even the villains and those who only appeared briefly, like Pete. Every character felt like they had a purpose.

The acting flowed so naturally. Up and Poom have incredible chemistry, and it showed in every scene where they were together. Their intimate scenes felt romantic, and was beautifully done rather than awkward or forced. The dance performances at the bar were also entertaining and added so much personality to the series.

The music deserves its own praise. There were so many songs throughout the series that I fell in love with, and every track matched the mood of each scene perfectly. Especially those small moments of Wayu sharing his playlist so that Krit to explore new music, I thought that small detail in series was just so sweet.

One of my favorite aspects was the friendships. Even the guys at the bar who started off as jerks eventually became supportive friends, and I absolutely loved Foei, the bar owner. Throughout everything that happened, Tai and Rose remained Wayu and Krit biggest supporters, which made them even more lovable. Honestly, I enjoyed every actor and every supporting character in this series.

The story was paced extremely well. It opened strong with the investigation, and each episode introduced new twists, new characters, and more pieces of the mystery without ever feeling overwhelming. At the same time, we watched the relationship between Wayu and Kirt develop naturally. Episodes 7 and 8 were my favorites because, despite the investigation remaining the central plot, they gave us beautiful moments that simply focused on the couple loving and supporting each other while also showing the struggles they both faced with their own families.

Speaking of family, the scriptwriter did an amazing job with the character development. Wayu character was so well written and his story had so much depth to it. Watching Wayu’s mother change and seeing Kirt’s father slowly grow to accept his son happiness made the story incredibly satisfying. Singto’s character was genuinely the sweetest and brought so much warmth and heart to the story.

The action scenes were exciting and kept me engaged throughout. I liked that we got to see Kirt in action against criminals while also dealing with the pressures of his job and the conflict with his father. It balanced the romance, mystery, and action really well.

The ending had me smiling from ear to ear. After everything the characters endured, it was so rewarding to see Kirt finally stand up to his father. Seeing Kirt and Wayu get married was the perfect conclusion. Kirt’s parents got the grandchild they had always wanted, Wayu’s mother stopped gambling, his sister returned to be part of her son’s life, Wayu went back to school and graduated, and he and Kirt built a home together. Seeing both families finally find happiness made the ending feel complete and well earned.

Overall, Love of Silom was an amazing series. I watched the entire series in a day and was willingly to sacrifice my sleep because I simply couldn’t stop watching. Every episode ended in a way that made me immediately want to start the next. It’s one of those dramas where the mystery, romance, action, family relationships, friendships, music, and character development all come together perfectly. I’d highly recommend this!

I was hooked !!!

I never leave reviews, and I didn't even have an account here but I created one just to write this review. It's been such a long time since a drama had me this hooked. I binge watched the entire series in just two days because I simply couldn't stop watching.
Every episode kept me invested, with excellent writing, strong performances, and a storyline that felt both unique and deeply emotional. I cried so many times throughout the drama. What stood out the most to me was the female lead - she had such a refreshing and distinctive personality compared to the typical female characters we often see.

A masterpiece in psychological storytelling

Notes from the Last Row is one of those rare dramas that completely consumes you. What begins as a story about a disillusioned literature professor discovering the extraordinary talent of a quiet student slowly transforms into an unsettling, thought-provoking exploration of obsession, ambition, morality, and the dangerous power of storytelling. Every episode pulls you deeper until you can no longer tell where fiction ends and reality begins.

The writing is nothing short of brilliant. Every conversation, every silence, and every small detail serves a purpose. The tension builds naturally without relying on cheap twists, making every reveal feel earned. This is the kind of drama that keeps your mind racing long after the credits roll.

Choi Min-sik delivers one of the strongest performances I’ve ever seen in a K-drama. His portrayal is layered, haunting, and deeply human. Choi Hyun-wook is equally captivating, creating a mysterious character that keeps you questioning his intentions from beginning to end. Their chemistry is electric, and every scene between them feels like a psychological chess match.

The cinematography, music, and atmosphere are exceptional, creating an unsettling sense of unease that perfectly matches the story. Nothing feels rushed, unnecessary, or out of place. Every episode builds on the last with incredible precision.

This isn’t a drama that spoon-feeds its audience. It trusts you to think, question, and interpret, which makes the experience even more rewarding. It’s intelligent, emotionally gripping, beautifully acted, and impossible to forget.

An easy 10/10. Notes from the Last Row isn’t just another psychological thriller it’s a masterclass in storytelling that will stay with you long after you’ve finished watching. It’s one of the best dramas I’ve ever seen, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
