10/10 The truly good things sometimes lie in simplicity.

10/10 The truly good things sometimes lie in simplicity.
This is a very nice, cute series.
Although there is a bit of a crime story in the film, it still reminds me of the "age of innocence" with its simple story and lovable characters.
Therefore, I am glad that this is not a deeply thought-provoking film that stirs up human feelings, but a series that provides perfect relaxation for people living in an increasingly complicated world and struggling with many difficulties.
Thanks to the director, the crew and the excellent actors for this great series!
1 am increasingly experiencing that very high-quality films and film series are being made in Taiwan in the fields of dramas and lighter genres.

Has Deadpool/KickAss/X-Men Vibes in a good way

My Rating: 9/10

As a fan of the superhero genre, I found this one incredibly interesting. I particularly like the unusual supers that take a unique spin. And this was a fit for that slice of the super hero pie. The powers are unique, and the premise—with its blended aspects of X-Men, Deadpool, Kickass vibes—kept me hooked. The villain characters were compelling, the acting was strong overall. Cha Eun-woo and Park Eun-bin are among my favorite actors. Having the two of them together was a highlight. It features a lot of great characters and actors, making it enjoyable just for the cast alone. It wraps up well enough to stand on its own but leaves a bit of room for more, in Netflix fashion. I am not a fan of open ended but this was not completely open, it left possibility without leaving the ending hanging. If you like superhero stories, are a fan of any of the actors, or just want something a little different that isn’t heavily romance-focused, I definitely recommend it.

Spoilers
It was a minor annoyance that it took them so long to learn how to use their powers effectively. I had the most fun toward the end when they figured it out and became more capable. I understand they stretched it for comedy, but it felt a bit slapstick at times. They portrayed the female lead character, Eun Chae-ni, (Park Eun-bin), as kind of simple or not the brightest at first, but I was hoping for (and glad to see) some underlying intelligence—she grew into it, and her character felt complicated in a good way.

I had a hard time understanding, as an American, why the lead male character, Lee Un-jeong (Cha Eun-woo), would give up a friend for a mother who had never been around, but I recognize that as a cultural thing. Wasn't ever sure exactly what happened with the mother, if she gave him up willingly, he was "kidnapped" or what. But, in any case, he turned Chae-ni over for a chance to see/know what happened with his mother. Harsh.

I thought for the longest time that the sticky guy character, Son Gyeong-hun (Choi Dae-hoon) wasn’t very useful, but his ability turned out to be very handy in the end. Like I said it was more fun, to me, when they learned how to fully use their superpowers.

I don’t know what it is with the stinky/shower-averse characters in these dramas lately—I know she had been traveling or whatever, but it was kind of weird to lean into that so much. Not sure why they did it; I wouldn’t have thought much of it, but there was another drama where they commented on hair stinking, and as a very clean person, I found it disturbing (others might not notice as much). It was supposed to be funny, but rubbing her stink on him - ooh.

I’m a hopeless romantic, so of course I would’ve liked more romance. There was a little—just enough not to annoy non-romantics you might watch with—but I love both leads in romantic roles, so it was hard not to want more. The kiss and the hug were both heartwarming. But, I think they made a great couple so would have liked more. Maybe if they do have a second season.

I loved the actress who played the grandmother character Kim Jeon-bok (Kim Hae-sook) and her role here.

Some of the wonderkinder turning more villainous was an interesting dynamic. The setup with some developing almost Stockholm syndrome toward the evil doctor felt believable, as that’s a real phenomenon.

If someone had this on, I’d definitely rewatch it. I may even watch it again myself in the future, though with so many options it’s hard to return to things. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If they do a second season, I’ll likely watch—unless I hear it’s really horrible—but they have plenty of material for more.

A pretty okay series overall.

It was an easy watch and had some enjoyable moments, but it didn’t really stand out to me. 😊

10/10 WOW

10/10 WOW
After a long time we got a good series, with a story plot. I like how many actions scene we got. I even didn't needed to skip, cause every scene was that good. Love how they didn't focused on just giving us NC scenes and gave us instead beautiful romantic fully meaning scenes.
I even liked how they mixed it with Korea x Thai. It felt new and very different. Ever character did an amazing performance.
I thank everyone for their hard work. I definitely would recommend you to watch that series. You will not get bored and it's not even cringe like not even one scene. I definitely need more series like this.

A crazy casting for a Masterpiece

Before starting the review i think i'have to say this : WTF is this cast?? We have Dilraba Dilmurat, Leo Wu,Liu Yu Ning,Zhao Lu Si and Alen Fang in THE SAME drama, how crazy is that? Even for the support roles the cast is very good.

I loved every episode of this drama, even though it takes a good ten episodes before it really gets going. The level of acting it's a high level, the character of Li Chang Ge is a strong woman! The production is very great, the story is well written even though there are a few weaknesses in the writing at times, especially toward the end, as is often the case with Chinese dramas. Very nice OST and so much feelings happens!

It's a very good drama with an amazing cast, it's going to be hard to watch something else right ater this one!

Finally, a Japanese BL that I genuinely loved. 😊

And an extra bonus for having older main characters. It’s refreshing to see a story that focuses on adults rather than the usual school or university setting, and it made the series even more enjoyable for me. 🤍✨

10/10 Heartwarming, Funny, and Comfortingly Real

I'm Tee, Me Too is a beautifully warm and comforting series that blends friendship, healing, and gentle humor in the most natural way. What begins as a simple story about an orphaned college student trying to save his home slowly turns into a heartfelt journey of companionship and emotional growth.
Each character named "Tee" is unique and lovable, representing different personalities, struggles, and emotional wounds. The chemistry among the cast is outstanding, making their friendships feel genuine and deeply relatable. The series balances light comedy with emotional moments, creating a cozy and wholesome viewing experience.
What truly makes I'm Tee, Me Too special is its message-that healing doesn't always come from romance, but from understanding, friendship, and being there for one another.
It's soft, sincere, and emotionally satisfying.

The first 6 episodes are the best

The first 6 episodes are my absolute favourite, I absolutely love the slow pacing and how Jae won looks at Ji Hyeon is absolutely beautiful. I absolutely loved everything about these episodes
But then in the 7th episode they hinted at Ji Hyeon dying and that left a bad taste that lasted till the end. It was absolutely unnecessary and honestly, was only there to build up drama. How Jae won dealt with the accident was also weirdly described. As someone who has been through something similar to Jae Won, I understand him distancing himself from everyone. But other than that, him getting back with Eun Ji is something that completely contradicts his character.
And how everyone dealt with Jae Won shutting down, including Ji Hyeon was so damn weird. Which btw was again a contradiction to Ji Hyeon's character. Everybody talking about how Jae Won didn't look okay but not a single made enough effort to actually talk to him. I understand it's a drama. The entire character of Jae Won hits too close to home, maybe that's why I feel like how Ji Hyeon dealt with his response to the accident was too lightly.
Also Jae Won recovered wayyyyy too quickly, there was no mention of his initial dilemma which was about his future. He just suddenly went from being depressed to a ray of sunshine in 1 episode. Also everyone forgiving everyone at the end is so cliche and uncalled for. Tae hyeong and Eun Ji were bitched who only made Jae Won miserable for a long time. The first step towards recovery would've been cutting these toxic people out of his life. But damn, they gave it a Disney ending.
But then again, I liked the first 6 episodes were so good, I just can't hate this drama.

too short to tell a believable story...

After "Winter Fever" I did expect more from Trufilm. The "kid" is quite abnoxious and of course with an age of 20 nobody is really an adult. But 4x8 minutes can't tell a believable story, because it happens too fast...

What I did not understand is, does the kid study on the same university as he teaches? If he does there can't be a relationsship whatsoever. So we have to assume he does not. The kissing also felt akward for me... I also didn't feel any chemistry between them.

It's ok to watch around 30 mintues but it's not even medicore, it's too plain, too unbelievable and not well acted out. While I would like to support small production companies for sure, they need to step up with the quality of their script and deliver something outstanding and not the same old, same old. At least I expected something better from them. For me it's one of their weakest shows ever.

8/10 You won't find a more open minded asian drama in kdramaland ever

This drama should be shown as mandatory in all schools in asian countries as sex education and values and morals in general so they learn how to respect each individuals rights, feelings and decisions early on, l am from an European country when this is very normal but I know in Asian countries subjects as homosexuality, abortion, women's rights/feminism or sex in general are very taboo so I'm so happy a drama like this portrayed so well everyone of them.
Acting is average ( some actors better than others), and you can tell is a very low budget one. But good enough chemistry in general.
Regarding the actual storylines and plots, this series could have been fantastic, I understand so good what they wanted to do with it, and it is beautiful. It has so much potential. It just has a bit of a poor execution when it comes to telling the stories.
I think it is because it has so many subplots and it's so little time to tell them so there's not really time to dig deeper into them. So it felt shallow at times and a bit chaotic. The biggest twist at the end was the best and the most emotional too, well done to the writers because until then I was thinking the story was a bit too weak.
Overall I think its a show worth watching, you will love all the learnings the characters take on their way and look forward to discover what the hell happens with the mystery of the camera!

A pretty decent series overall, although the relationship was definitely on the toxic side.
It had some interesting moments, but the dynamic between the characters wasn’t always easy to watch. 😅

10/10 The Story and the Screenplay

Low you teacher is a kind of series that makes the audience seated. The storyline is engaging. The story is really out of box still in the line. I mean something new and fresh. More than the story, the screenplay is very important. The sequence of the scenes are well executed. The one who organized the scenes deserves a raise.
Another important key is the actors portrayal of the Characters. In this case, Perth is really amazing. He proved why he is one of the most talented artists. Santa is more than I expected. The absolute level of his acting is when he portrays both Sun and Solar in different ways. Sun is naughty and stubborn while Solar is well mannered and mature. Kay, Man!! Really He is something else, who knows he can nail all the roles like this one which is fun and joy different from his past roles. Having Sammy in the series is Gold. She knows what she is doing.
The story and their acting are more engaging like I can't even skip a second.
~Please excuse any English mistakes.

Saved from a summer slump

Good enough series, saved by the story, its strong supporting cast ( mother, teacher and friends) and slice of life setting.
Not everyone can make a good modern drama, very weak acting wise ( ml was exceptional in Blossom so I guess that mysterious cold look works better for him). Personally not a great fan of one problem after another kind of trope and typical cliched cp, repeating issues etc without any character growth and story progression.
However, an easy going light watch, run in the background kind of acceptable production, saved from a summer drama slump.
