It was ok, but not something I'd watch again

I think something the drama struggles with is development in the characters other than the lead couple. In particular Eric Seo. He was supposed to be the second male lead but honestly he felt more like a side character who didn't really contribute to the plot. I found it cringe how he fell in love with Dam Ye Jin instantly and most of his scenes came from him getting rejected. Also I wish there was some proper closure between him and Ye Jin, I honestly don't know why she didn't tell him that she was dating Mechoori.

Another character who got very little exposure is Jin Yi. I feel like she was supposed to have a bigger impact on the story but she didn't do much. She confessed her feelings to Mechoori, but we weren't given into any insight into why she fell for him or the backstory between them. Their relationship came off as very shallow and at the end of the show, they gave her a romance plot with the dude at HIT, which there was no reason and seems like a consolation prize.

There were about three love lines in the drama apart from the main couple, but they lacked proper development and it felt like the drama was just shoving romance down our face for the sake of it. The characters fell in love almost instantly and it didn't come off as genuine. I didn't really care for the other couples because honestly they didn't do much.

Something else I want to mention is I feel like they showed the whole villain arc way too late (like pretty much last ep?) I feel like they should have done a better job building up the villains or at least foreshadowing them instead of leaving them to pretty much the last ep. There was a clear struggle between balancing developing romance between the leads and developing the villain plot.

A drama that does this really well, and I think Sold Out on You should have learnt from, is Queen of Tears. Queen of Tears does an excellent job in building up the villains as well as building and developing the relationship between Hyun woo and Hae in.

The standout for me would be the leads, Mechoori and Ye Jin did a good job acting. I enjoyed the romance between them but there weren't any moments that made me particularly invested and I ended up fast forwarding many parts.

In conclusion, I think you should watch it if you have nothing else to watch.

This was the most realistic drama i’ve watched even with just 2 EP released

The drama was so good. The acting, the dialogue, the casting, the delivery of each emotions even with micro-expressions. I loveeeeee it. The story is being served at a right pace. It is fun to watch. I think this series and the perfect casts makes others jealous, i just know that this series will be successful not only in the queer community but the general audience. The director made a good decision on how to deliver the story from the novel to a series without making it so explicit but at the same time not far from the original. This will make the general audience tune in.

Great ML and cool premise/concept but wasted on corny acting from certain cast members.

Writing this in 2026 might not seem fair, but this drama aged terribly. I love games and I watched this show because I love the premise, and I think the story delivered. There were a lot of sweet moments but the acting from the female cast is quite terrible which breaks my immersion. Both Zheng Shuang and Mao Xiao Tong are gorgeous, but Yang yang's passionate kisses are totally wasted on Zheng Shuang given that she acts with the open eye shock and zero response during their alone-scenes.
The wardrobe team also doesn't do a great job but I will not fault them on this since fashion and drama style changes.
Production quality is pretty ok, and cinematography is a pass. The acting at times are sometimes over the top (especially from the females), and it's a bit cheesy and corny to watch since no one in real live acts like this.

From a pacing perspective, the earlier episodes were more interesting and the last 10 were a drag, I watched them in 1.5x speed. Not interesting and no story.

This is a personal take, but I also was quite uncomfortable with how emaciated the FL looks :(

It's hard to give this drama more than a 7. I found myself struggling to get past the next 10 eps. I still think the pacing and plot is not too bad, but this has unfortunately not aged well for a 2026 watch.

One of Those Rare Dramas..

I started watching this with zero expectations, and it completely delivered. Every episode kept me hooked. I was so curious to see their relationship grow, and I found myself constantly thinking about what life must have been like back then and trying to understand things from their perspective. That's how well-written the characters are.
At first, I thought it would be about a court lady falling in love with the king, but as the story unfolds, it feels much more like the king's story and everything he had to endure.
The moment that dream scene happened for the second time absolutely blew my mind. And the way the show ends makes everything click into place.
This is such a beautiful drama, and it's officially joined my list of shows I wish I could erase from my memory just so I could experience it for the first time all over again. ✨

um filme gostoso de domingo a tarde

o filme é bem gostoso de assistir! adoro comédia e ação. eu reclamo bastante de quando diretores resolvemos trazer um pouco de Hollywood para os filmes, mas sabendo usar isso ao seu favor, o filme se torna realmente bom, que é o caso desse. entrei em uma competição onde eu avaliava quem era o marido melhor e torcia fortemente para o ex marido HWHAGAHAH uma graça de filme. eu recomendo, viu? é bom pra passar o tempo. nao achei cringe como os gringos estão dizendo, acho que eles são inimigos do humor isso sim! agora sem lógica? pra que ter lógica em uma comédia? nunca viram top gun maverick nao? bichinho filme mais sem pe nem cabeça mas continua ótimo

até que é bom

vi muitas críticas sobre, então demorei para assistir, mas é surpreendemente bom.
ainda sim tem algumas partes muito bobas, mas que as cenas de ação acaba compensando! a cena final foi muito boa, a do ringue e foi uma pena ter acabado tão de repente assim!
alias acho que pecaram na parte onde revelam quem é o treinador galinha la kkkk acho que todo mundo ja sabia, viu?
algo que me incomodou tbm, achei q poderiam explorar mais a atuação do atores pq são ótimas! mas enfim
vale a pena assistir, bom pra passar tempo ou naqueles dias em que vc ta se sentindo sem energia pq series de ação e principalmente luta, acaba nos dando um pouco de adrenalina!

Musical Noona Romance Hits Some Good Notes

The couple met in an e-game which allowed for fantasy locations, fun visuals (leaping from a building in formal dress into pastel balloons), and wardrobe. This, and the music angle (the FL was a singer), differentiated Love Scenery from other romance dramas.

The cast was good. I liked the leads; they had chemistry when the script allowed, and I enjoyed their interactions. If all the ML's friends were supposed to be irritating idiots, the actors did their job superbly. The FL had an irritating idiot of an assistant; the actress played her part well, as I cringed every time she opened her mouth. The secondary romance was a trial to get through: a persistent stalker and a woman who stopped living meaningfully because of betrayal. I don't have much patience for either of those, so their screen time was something of an endurance test, and it went on seemingly forever.

It was a relief all the parents and grandparents were supportive of the older woman celebrity/younger man college student romance. One trope averted! The OST was enjoyable. And I liked the cat and dog. That cat looked like she was living her best life. So often in dramas, cats looked stressed and unhappy.

Recommended for those who don't mind the ML and FL almost connecting but missing one another for about the first ten episodes. It's not a slow burn—it's a never-ignited romance for too long. Once again, I'll remind the reader that I am missing a strong romance gene, and MDL's rating of 8.3 shows that many would disagree with my assessment that this is an average drama.

I've added a half star for the cat's obvious enjoyment of being cuddled and for Lin Yi's crooked little fingers (my husband's fingers are crooked, too).

SUKAAA

kalo lu lagi nyari drakor yang lambat, penuh romansa menye-menye, atau teori konspirasi yang bikin kepala pusing... MENDING SKIP DRAMA INI.
​tapi, kalo lu pengen tontonan yang pacing-nya ngebut, aksi baku hantamnya estetik, dan punya efek healing instan lewat jalur balas dendam... Teach You a Lesson wajib masuk watchlist lu!
Bukan tipe berantem yang asal-asalan. Setiap scene Na Hwa-jin ngebersihin sekolah dari preman itu sinematik banget. Ada bumbu komedi satirnya, tapi pas lagi serius, karisma Kim Mu-yeol bener-bener tumpah-tumpah. Lu bakal otomatis teriak "Mampus!" atau "Nah, gitu dong!" di depan layar.

A Page-Turning Kdrama that You Can't Put Down

It's a Kdrama that's delivered like a thrilling, page-turning, can't-put-down novel.

Take one dull, burnt-out college professor with a selfish, self-serving, carmudgeonly personality who teaches Writing to college students who could care less, can barely write, and he makes sure they know this....add in a college student who can write which catches the eye of said-professor, mix these two together with a story rife with plot twists and turns, betrayal, possible murder, revenge, and you've got the makings of an excellent drama.

This will take you on a wild ride while you are hanging on the edge of your seat only to be left with "to be continued" at the end of the episode that you vowed would be the last as its way past bedtime, but your mind keeps saying, "One more episode...one more episode."

One thing that especially stood out was the art on the wall in the restaurant scene. Purposely placed as a part of the storyline being played out. I thought this was brilliant.

Another LingOrm Masterpiece

In Love Forever is honestly such an enjoyable watch from start to finish. Everything feels so well made, from the production quality to the directing. You can really see the amount of care and effort that went into every detail.

The entire cast did an amazing job, but LingLing Kwong as Runch and Orm Kornnaphat as Neen were definitely the standouts for me. Their chemistry is as amazing as ever, and they portray their characters so naturally that it’s impossible not to get invested in Runch and Neen’s story.

I also loved the dynamic between Neen and Kingkamol. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law clashes were so entertaining and added a lot of humor and charm to the series. Their interactions made every scene even more enjoyable to watch.

The flashback scene in the post-credits was such a beautiful touch as well. It added so much more depth to the story and perfectly showed how deeply Runch and Neen loved each other before everything happened. It made the emotional moments hit even harder.

Overall, In Love Forever, LingOrm’s third series, delivers on every aspect: production, direction, storytelling, and acting. It’s heartwarming, emotional, and incredibly enjoyable to watch.

A solid 10/10. 💖
