Bueno bueno bueno, increíble que esta serie tenga un 8.6 y haya estado en el top10, una copia mala de bad guy, que increíblemente sólo tiene tiene un 7,8, no hay quien os entienda con las notas.
Si no fuera por la actuación de los actores la serie sería de las peores que se han hecho en korea, a la altura de a man called god, i am sam o bodrios similares. Sinceramente creo que muchas series las puntuáis por la belleza de los actores porque sino es inexplicable que esto tenga tanta nota.
Sobre la serie, el ya tan manido, recurrido y cansino tema de la amnesia es para despedir a los guionistas, no aporta nada de nada de nada, sólo se utiliza para alargar la serie, lo de los últimos 2 capítulos es para cortarse las venas, un "sinsentido" en el que no explican nada, algo ya habitual por otra parte. Los secundarios no aportan nada, están ahí por estar, para ello mejor que no aparezcan.
La historia es larga y aburrida, no engancha, los primeros capítulos hay que admitir que están bien, pero a partir del quinto o sexto se desinfla hasta límites insospechados.
Los actores bien, pero la serie no da para más, sus constantes cambios de personalidad no sé si deben a que padecen un trastorno de identidad disociativo o es que los guionistas se ponían tibios a saque antes de escribir.
La música bien, poco más.
Infumable, nada recomendable a no ser que quieras ver un par de guapos actores pululando delante de la pantalla.

Lo que me encanta de este drama es que la historia no es solamente romance también tiene acción, desde el primer capitulo me quede pegada a la computadora, de verdad que es muy interesante.

La actuación de Lee Seung Ki me gusto mucho ya que no estaba acostumbrada a verlo en dramas o peliculas, me encantaron las actuaciones de Ha Ji Won, Yoon Je Moon, Jo Jung Suk.

Creo que la banda sonora de este drama ayudo muchísimo a que la historia se pusiera mas interesante las canciones personalmente son MUY buenas.

Y algo que hay que tener en cuenta en los dramas asiáticos, el final no daña la historia, así que definitivamente este drama es uno de los muy pocos que podría ver otra vez. LO RECOMIENDO TOTALMENTE =)

Easy to knock

This drama almost never made it to air. Besides losing its original producer, it also faced issues involving the second male lead, who was reportedly caught up in a tax-related controversy (if I remember correctly). It came with very little promotion and didn't have the advantage of being a highly anticipated release.

The story itself is light, easy to follow, and perfect for watching during dinner or when you're looking for something relaxing. It can be described as an enemies-to-lovers trope, although they're not really enemies in the strict sense.

Throughout the drama, the male lead can be quite frustrating at times. He grew up privileged and spoiled, which often causes the female lead a lot of stress and emotional exhaustion. As for the female lead, she is rather timid and often struggles to stand up to the people who mistreat her. Because of this, she sometimes comes across as weak, even though her behavior is largely shaped by her circumstances and personality.
but overall acting both of them is good, if not bcs their acting this drama would end up low rate

A Nearly Perfect Drama with a Frustrating Finish

I actually was disappointed with the ending. It felt rushed, with a horrible CGI war scene that was nothing like the rest of the show. What I liked about the show became what I disliked really quickly. The drama's last 5 to 7 episodes allow viewers to get about 2 episodes of bliss, and then turmoil comes into play, which is common, but here it feels misplaced. They deny the marriage only for him to grant them permission to marry in the end. They sign a peace treaty just for them to go to war. They have her become a general again just for the emperor to send her to the city where there is no war to fight. The entirety of these episodes feels rushed and goes back on everything it previously stated. They make one of the bad guys into a good guy, only for him to turn around and become a bad guy again. What was the actual point? I think it's a solid drama, and I might even rewatch it someday, but within these last few episodes, it's sad to see the show's quality go down.

Comfortable, Heartwarming but Predictable.....yet still touches and warms my Heart

Subjective Gut Rating: 8.25

I wanted to watch a Japanese drama and came across “9 Border”. What does the title really mean? It means you are at the 9th year of your age, and at the border between decades, e.g. 19 years old, 29 years old and 39 years old.

The drama follows three sisters who are at this order, 19, 29, and 39. At different stages of their lives, they go through different crises. “9 Border” is about the growth of these sisters as individuals and as a family. Honestly, this is a comfortable and predictable drama. Yet, Jdramas have a way to pull you into these heartwarming stories and then make you cry. It’s been a while since I cried so much, not because I was heartbroken, but I was touched by their experiences, triumphs and romantic journey (especially Nana and Kotaro).

Nana, our main lead, is a workaholic. She is sweet, caring and has all the responsibilities in the world on her shoulders. She is lonely and has no time to do anything but work. Eventually, she found her own dream and dream man, leading her family to a much better life.

Mucchan, the oldest of the siblings, struggles to come to terms that she is on a way to a divorce. From a clingy ex-wife, she has learned to love herself, and made sure she has her own best interest at heart. She learns to love herself and be happy.

Hatsumi, the youngest, doesn’t know what to do with herself after graduating from high school. She has probably grown and matured the most out of the three sisters. It’s lovely to see her find her passion and explore what’s outside of the house.

The setting of a bath house as a family business is interesting. I really like their house because it gives off a very welcoming and homey feel. Their living room is a space for all, whether it’s intentional or not. I’ve enjoyed all the conversations, meals, parties and gatherings that happened in this place of warmth.

As for romance, I really love the relationship development between Nana and Kotaro. If you are looking for fluffy, this is not it. However, it’s sweet and mature, gentle and calming. There are no grand gestures, but many thoughtful conversations and small deeds. Matsushita Kouhei has such a gentle voice. I felt the same way when I saw him in #Remolove. Every time he calls Nana by her name, my heart melts. (Aaww…..). The interesting thing about their romance is that it’s so darn predictable. You know how it’s going to end, yet I have shed so many tears - happy, moving and sad ones. I don’t know why.

Nana description of her ideal romance sums up her relationship with Kotaro perfectly: "I feel calm when I'm with him" & "We can look at the same view and say it's beautiful".

The other two romance storylines did not have a lot of screen time. They are simple and cute in their own way. The drama could have spent more time, but instead, it focuses more on the family as a unit. I think that’s totally fine as well. 10 episodes are not enough to fully develop 3 romance storylines well.

I am glad I stumbled upon “9 Border” and was introduced to the Oba family. This is a very easy and comfortable watch. Everyone is so nice and supportive. I also really love the songs and am glad they are not repetitive or overpowering.

The Real Story Begins After "Happily Ever After"

Unlike many BL epilogues that simply show a happy couple being sweet together, Peach and Me explores what it actually takes to protect that happiness after the ending.

Peach and Tee come from completely different worlds. Tee was born into a powerful mafia family where everything could be obtained through wealth and influence, while Peach grew up with almost nothing except his own kindness. Their marriage doesn't erase those differences—it asks them to understand and support each other despite them.

What I appreciated most was that the story never relied on dramatic conflict. Instead, it focused on responsibility, friendship, family, and the quiet effort required to build a life together. Rome's succession, Mork's changing role from bodyguard to friend, and the brothers' heartfelt conversation all reinforced the idea that everyone was finding a new place in each other's lives.

Tee's love is almost overwhelming. Personally, I don't think I could ever handle someone loving me that intensely! That's why Peach impressed me so much. He accepts Tee's enormous affection without losing himself, making their relationship feel balanced rather than one-sided.

The special reenactments performed by other GMMTV couples were a delightful bonus. Watching Tay & New, Junior & Mark, Force & Book, Perth & Santa, and the others recreate iconic scenes was both hilarious and affectionate. They reminded us that no matter how talented they are, only Pond & Phuwin can truly be Peach and Tee.

For me, this wasn't simply a sequel about a married couple. It was a gentle story about discovering that a happy ending is not the finish line—it's the beginning of choosing each other every single day.

Everyone forget that overdo is angst drama not romance

This drama had everyone's attention long before it even premiered. It attracted fans, casual viewers, and even haters simply because it brought together two of the industry's biggest visual stars. On top of that, many people were already arguing about the original novel, which is known for being extremely toxic especially the male lead's character.

However, the director and screenwriter made it clear from the beginning that they only borrowed the characters' names, not the novel's storyline. Even so, this was always intended to be an **angst drama**, filled with conflict, misunderstandings, and a constant push-and-pull relationship between the female lead and the male lead.

Then Episode 1 aired, and instead of discussing the story, the drama started trending because of its AI-generated opening sequence. Many people immediately said they had no interest in watching *Overdo* simply because it used AI. But if you think about it logically, the opening sequence has nothing to do with the quality of the story itself. You can literally skip the intro and still enjoy the entire drama. Unfortunately, many people had already decided to criticize it before giving it a fair chance.

After watching Episodes 1–25, I can honestly say the story is much more than just romance. It also explores serious social issues such as human trafficking, scams, illegal drugs, switched families, abusive families, and many other dark themes. The romance isn't meant to be sweet and fluffy. From the very beginning, this is a push-and-pull relationship where both leads constantly hurt each other with their words, yet deep down they genuinely love each other and can't let go.

The problem isn't that the drama is bad. It's that this kind of highly emotional, Republican-era angst drama simply isn't everyone's cup of tea. That doesn't automatically make it poorly made.

The performances from both lead actors are excellent. The editing improved significantly from Episode 6 onward, and the AI intro was even replaced. Yet some people kept bringing up the same complaints, making it feel as though they were more interested in hating the drama than actually watching it.

What's truly disappointing is that many viewers gave it low ratings simply because it wasn't their preferred genre, rather than judging it objectively. A drama should be evaluated based on its writing, acting, directing, and execution—not just on whether it matches someone's personal taste.

PEACH AND ME.

THIS SERIES IS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF COMEDY, CRAZINESS, AND PURE CHAOS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF KHUN THEE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED POND'S PERFORMANCE BECAUSE HE WASN'T AFRAID TO MAKE THE FUNNIEST FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, AND IT MADE EVERY SCENE EVEN MORE HILARIOUS. THE BATHTUB SCENE WHERE KHUN THEE WAS CRYING WHILE THE BODYGUARD WAS HOLDING THE SHOWER HAD ME LAUGHING SO HARD. KHUN THEE IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE GREENEST FLAGS EVER. I LOVE HOW HE ALWAYS SUPPORTS PEACH WITHOUT PEACH EVEN HAVING TO ASK—THEE JUST KNOWS WHAT PEACH NEEDS AND NEVER FORGETS THE PROMISES HE MAKES. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING, THE ARSENI AND MAFIA STORYLINE ALREADY HAD ME SO STRESSED, AND SEEING EMI APPEAR MADE ME EVEN MORE EXCITED. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE ME AND THEE OR PEACH AND ME HAS ENDED, BUT I'M SO GRATEFUL BECAUSE THIS SERIES INTRODUCED ME TO PONDPHUWIN. EPISODE 4 WAS EASILY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST EPISODES. I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING BECAUSE SO MANY GMMTV PAIRINGS MADE CAMEO APPEARANCES, AND I KEPT REPLAYING THOSE SCENES BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST THAT FUNNY. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT NO ONE CAN REPLACE POND AND PHUWIN AS KHUN THEE AND PEACH. ALTHOUGH I THINK NEW CAME VERY CLOSE TO PEACH'S PERSONALITY BECAUSE HE WAS COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN HIS CHARACTER, POND AND PHUWIN WILL ALWAYS BE THE KHUN THEE AND PEACH FOR ME. I ALSO WISH WE HAD GOTTEN MORE SCENES WITH THEIR ADOPTED CHILDREN AND MORE SWEET MOMENTS BETWEEN PEACH AND THEE. ONE THING I NOTICED, ESPECIALLY AFTER WATCHING ALL OF PONDPHUWIN'S SERIES, IS THAT THEY SEEMED MORE CONSERVATIVE WITH THEIR ROMANTIC SCENES HERE—EVEN A KISS ON THE CHEEK WAS ENOUGH. BUT HONESTLY, I BARELY NOTICED BECAUSE THE STORY WAS JUST SO FUNNY, ESPECIALLY KHUN THEE'S CHARACTER. I LOVE POND'S ACTING SO MUCH, AND BOTH POND AND PHUWIN LOOKED ABSOLUTELY STUNNING THROUGHOUT THE SERIES. AND SERIOUSLY... POND IS SO FUCKING HANDSOME.
