The more I watched it the worse it got

The story was literally all over the place. They had too much to cover for a 1hr series.

Initially it was okay, kinda cute but then after 2 or 3 episodes it just landed flat on the ground. They had this
- grim reaper track going
- love triange going
- the name issue going
- the brother's death track
- and the fallen grim reaper track all going simultaneously.

In the end nothing was finished properly. They had these random kisses. Idk when the hell did both the leads fall for Ji Han. Nor do I know what they know about Jae Hyeon. Overall it was just a mess. Kinda disappointed

Sekai di Ichiban Papa from italy

What can I say? It’s a pretty good drama, though it always ends up with a father-daughter argument. It’s actually quite rare to find online—not to mention the subtitles. I watched it back in May of this year just for Ryōko Hirosue; the father is likable in this drama, too. I did find a few episodes a bit repetitive, but I really liked the ending. I’d give it a 7—maybe not an 8. Ryōko Hirosue, you’ve got that extra something compared to Yukie Nakama—no offense to *Gokusen* or *Ring 0*, she’s very talented, but Hirosue is different; she has a unique quality.

another wasted potential

The ONLY reason I stayed until the very end was because of SeaKeen. At first, I didn't know what to expect from their acting; I was just curious since they were new talents in GMMTV, so I didn't expect much. But wow, for newbies, they did so well, and their chemistry was amazing. Keen, omg, his facial expressions are so good!

As for the series itself, I can't say much good about it. It was badly executed, full of plot holes, the scenes jumped all over the place, and the transitions were terrible. The storytelling was so chaotic that I didn't even realize the show was supposed to be a fantasy until the literal final moments of the finale.

surprisingly good

I’ve been a big fan of LYKN, especially William, ever since they debuted as a boy group. They are so talented, and I was really curious to see how their acting performance would turn out.

I went into this series a bit anxious because I was scared GMMTV would mess up the pacing towards the end like they usually do, but WilliamEst's chemistry completely saved me. Honestly, even though this is LYKN's first actual acting project, they all did so well. William’s talent combined with their lack of awkward, stiff movements made them so easy to root for, and their connection felt simple yet interesting.

I really love this series. The storyline is perfect. The director and cast did a great job portraying their characters, especially the main leads. Every episode is different from the previous one, and you can learn something from it because this series is not just about the love story between Lu Xixiao and Zhou Wan; it's about how the two of them overcome the challenges and struggles at the age of 18.

I love how they grow independently from being teenagers to becoming adults. They don't rely on each other because both of them succeed in their chosen fields.

Spoiler alert: For me, this is just my personal opinion, but I think Zhou Wan leaving Xixiao had a good effect on him because if Wanwan hadn't left him, he wouldn't have grown up on his own.

However, I noticed one problem while watching some episodes because I could definitely see the cut scenes. If you watch closely, you can see the cuts, and it's like they just patched the scenes together . I don't know if it's because they were taken from different angles or what. And also, you can see some scenes that doesn't make sense.

Additionally, I really love the OST, and you know what they say: if the OST is good, then the series is also good.

Overall, the drama is perfect. Highly recommended. I will give it a 10/10.

cliché yet memorable:"

This is proof that a BL series doesn't always need a unique, heavy, or unconventional plot to be great. Sometimes, a cheesy, cliché story works perfectly if the acting is good and the chemistry is on point (also big applause to the director). I watched it back when it was airing and so many people were talking about it. It was trending on Twitter every single week—not because fans were just forcing the hashtag to trend, but because the show was genuinely so engaging to talk about (omg the good old days).

What really stood out was Ohm and Nanon’s acting. There were absolutely no stiff or awkward gestures; they felt incredibly natural. Even though there were quite a few minor production slips in some scenes, Ohm and Nanon’s talent was so distracting that viewers (at least, me) didn't even care.

Pseudo Yuri on Duanju

I watched this with 50:50 minds, good merits i love Zhang Jinyi and it was quite rare to find dual female leads drama on duanju and not so good merit the other protagonist is Tan Yan Yan. Its not because i hate her or something but i barely managed to finish her drama except her dramas with Wang Yiran and the three couple ensemble (and she was the weakest on par with Liu Yuhang) because her acting was not my cup of tea despite her mini drama background. But for this drama i can watch Tan Yan Yan without being nosy like market aunt.

Tan Yan Yan and Zhang Jinyi have slightly yuri (lesbian) feel, but it's actually quite borderline since it Mainland (duh). The story is about Xiangxue (TYY/FL1) , a blind writer, is imprisoned and has her work's publication rights stolen by her husband. She has intelligence but no strength to resist, but fate brings her redemption. Shiran (ZJY/FL2) is a thief, also living under her uncle's control. During a burglary, she discovers someone living a more miserable life than herself, and the two girls sympathize with each other, determined to break free from their cages together. This story has a lot of magical fate, but at the same time, it seems fragile. So, with my limited perspective, I always felt that this relationship would collapse at some point. But it never did, there are only a few soft words from her when she tries to protect her and drive her away.

The final result is rather futile; FL2 can always report her uncle, just as FL2 is fully capable of killing herself and claiming it was an accident. So it still feels like a surreal fairy tale. So, this story is about two women meeting, getting to know each other, and feeling need to each other. It reminds me of

If you want to get pseudo yuri with subtle message, you can watch this.

The character of Lee Kang made me feel really uncomfortable, so much so that I'd skip some of the scenes where he's secretly watching. However. From the very first episode, it's clear that he's just pretending to spy and that he's making up a story. Once you realize that, it begins very, very hard to get interested in a series that tells you right off the bat that nothing is true. So just tell the truth right away or do something with it. Use it to tell something. Have you heard of Straight to Hell ?

I kept watching because Choi Min-sik can't choose a bad script, no ? The end of Episode 2 gets intriguing... only because the characters tell us so. Not because it actually is. So I was watching, thinking only about why all of this was made up in the first place. And, unfortunately, we're only told at the very end, with no clues to figure it out beforehand. This story, when you think about it, wasn't all that exciting. All that for nothing. The problem with twist stories is that if you figure it out right from the start (as is the case here, since we're told right away and literally) it loses its appeal. And ending with a reference to Faust ? let's be a little humble, please.

I totally get that the show wants to question the narrator and our tendency to believe a story. It just needed to be less over-the-top. The kid and his just another sob story, nothing special... okay, great… I actually would've liked it if they'd explored that instead !
I failed to catch this K-drama. I'm annoyed with myself. But I'm reading some very enthusiastic and well-written reviews, so at least that's something.

Let's talk about the difference in acting. Choi Min-sik brings depth of intention and a certain way of looking at people ; he exudes resentment and dissatisfaction. He's an unfriendly man who still can't accept that a woman didn't choose him or that his career as a novelist never took off. An ordinary, selfish man. On the contrary, Choi Hyun-wook, elusive and expressionless, I'm not sure what to make of him by the end. He tries to come across as amoral as the protagonist of Dear X, but it never quite works for me.
