Reviews

Eh...

Not exactly bad, but nothing great either. It had a nice start, but these last two episodes genuinely made me uninterested in it, I was just waiting for it to finish as soon as possible.

Things I liked:
1. Interesting concept for the series.
2. Kwak Geon Hee's character and acting.
3. Some cute moments.

Things I disliked:
1. A lot of confusion around the plot due to the series being extremely short.
2. Hyeon Jun's acting is a bit stale. There could be an emotional moment, and he is just sitting with a poker face.
3. Super anticlimactic ending.
4. Good start, but everything crumbled after the first few episodes.

Good premises, uneven execution

I didn't expect this storyline at all, and I was genuinely surprised by how captivated I became. It was exciting to watch the story unfold and see the characters reveal their true colours. Some of the plot twists caught me off guard, while others were more predictable—but overall, it was still an enjoyable ride.

I was so happy for his wife in the end. The acting was great across the board, and Hyun Wook did an excellent job portraying his character.

I loved the ending—it was a great way to wrap things up.

That said, even though it was only 6 episodes, I somehow found the drama feeling too long. The storyline was strong, but the execution didn't quite match its potential. There were moments of tension, but not enough real thrill or suspense to keep me fully engaged throughout. It's a shame, because with a different approach to direction, this could have been something truly great.

Verdict: An interesting premise with some good twists and solid performances, but let down by uneven execution. Worth a watch if you're curious, but don't expect a gripping thriller.

Ultimate Comfort Romance

From the first few episodes until the very end, I found myself smiling almost the entire time. Touch You Heart is not driven by huge plot twists or constant drama. Instead, it’s about genuinely kind people, wonderful character growth, and a romance that develops naturally.

The chemistry between the leads is warm, believable, and incredibly charming. I loved watching their relationship grow through trust, respect, humor, and so many small moments that made me smile.

The supporting cast is just as lovable. The law office feels like a family, and every character adds something meaningful to the story. The witty dialogue and clever banter made me laugh throughout the series, and I appreciated how emotionally mature the characters were.

If you’re looking for an action-packed legal drama, this isn’t it. The legal cases are enjoyable, but they’re really the backdrop for a heartwarming romance that leaves you feeling happy. If you enjoy comfort romances with healthy relationships and lots of smiles, I highly recommend this drama.

The real challenge begins after saying 'I do'.

If you're a hopeless romantic and you believe GL series should be able to speak to everyone (not just a small niche of viewers looking for the same formula over and over again) then this is exactly the show you should give a chance.

First and foremost, it's a story about genuine emotions. With remarkable tenderness, it explores universal themes such as marriage, love, miscommunication, nostalgia, regret, and complicated family relationships. These are experiences that resonate with all of us, regardless of who we are or who we love.

On top of that, the production quality is outstanding, the performances are excellent, and the writing delivers some genuinely memorable dialogue. The two protagonists are both lovable and beautifully flawed, making them a dream come true for anyone who enjoys the classic grumpy × sunshine dynamic.

You'll laugh with them, cry with them, and melt at countless moments of pure tenderness. Every scene takes you on an emotional journey that feels both delicate and deeply heartfelt. It only takes one episode to start rooting for them; by the second, their hilarious chemistry completely charms you. Sometimes, all it takes is a glance or a gentle touch between them to make you believe in the magic of true love again.

At least, that's exactly what happened to me.

Full disclosure: yes, I'm a huge fan of LingOrm, and I absolutely adore them! But nobody is paying me to write this. I'm saying these things simply because I genuinely believe them. If I hadn't loved their new series, I simply wouldn't have written a review at all.

Best part is, you don't have to take my word for it, or anyone else's.
If you've seen people dismissing this show without even watching it, do yourself a favor: give it a chance and make up your own mind. You might just discover something truly special! ;)

Entre lenteur, alignement des étoiles et déception…

Globalement, c'est une saison décevante, bien qu'elle reste supérieure à la première. Cela dit, ce n'est pas compliqué de faire mieux. Passer devant un couple ultra-toxique et un acteur coincé depuis 2019 dans son personnage de UWMA, il fallait forcer pour se louper. Et pourtant…

Si cette saison met en avant la bienveillance et des sentiments plus matures, elle n'en reste pas moins fade. Elle n'est pas complètement ennuyeuse, mais plate. Peut-être avais-je des attentes suite aux pilots. D'ailleurs, les pilots sont souvent accrocheurs. Mais lorsqu'ils sont meilleurs que les trailers et les séries, c'est un problème. En fin de compte, revoir les pilots de FY2 ? Oui. Revoir les trois séries ? Non.

- Beside the Sky (6.5/10)
Une histoire douce aux personnages attachants, mais si lente ! Fah me rappelle le prince charmant d'un conte de fées, et Phoon ressemble à un mignon chaton. Si l'intrigue n'est pas mauvaise, sa lenteur et la candeur de sa romance ne m'ont pas transporté autant que je l'aurais voulu.

- The Sun from Another Star (8/10)
The Sun from Another Star fait se rencontrer deux étoiles opposées qui finissent par trouver leur place dans le ciel de l'autre. L'histoire, à la fois drôle et émouvante, l'ambiance chaleureuse et bienveillante, ainsi que la romance douce et sincère, m'ont donné envie de revenir chaque semaine.

- Lately, It's Winter Season (5.5/10)
Lately, It's Winter Season choisit de s'attarder sur le passé et l'amitié, au détriment de la romance présente, qui n'a jamais eu le temps de vivre. Malgré quelques bons moments, l'histoire se perd dans des scènes longues et un récit qui ne progresse que trop tardivement.

En bref, Fourever You 2 a quelques bons moments, et c'est tout.

Romance manquée...

Le tigre s'est fait malmener par le mignon chaton dans une histoire qui a loupé son démarrage, s'ancrant dans le passé, plutôt que de se concentrer sur le présent.

Tant d'épisodes sur leur amitié me laissent perplexe. Leur romance ne débute qu'à l'avant-dernier épisode, et encore, c'est seulement parce que Tiger ne laisse pas vraiment le choix à Nao : soit il devient son petit ami, soit ils ne sont plus amis.

Oui, c'est une histoire plutôt mignonne et facile, mais les promesses ne sont pas tenues. Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de repenser au plaisir que j'ai eu à découvrir le pilot, à ma grimace lors de la sortie du trailer, et à ma déception devant chaque épisode.

En bref, Lately, It's Winter Season choisit de s'attarder sur le passé et l'amitié, au détriment de la romance présente, qui n'a jamais eu le temps de vivre. Malgré quelques bons moments, l'histoire se perd dans des scènes longues et un récit qui ne progresse que trop tardivement.

Strong Leads, Frustrating Side Characters

“Filing for Love” ended up being a pleasant surprise, mainly because of its characters, they were definitely the strongest part of the drama.
The female lead really stands out. Besides being absolutely beautiful, what impressed me the most was how she conveys emotions just through her eyes. There are moments where she barely needs dialogue, you can clearly tell when she’s being sarcastic, when she’s mocking a situation, or when she’s hiding what she truly feels. It’s a very subtle performance, but it elevates the character a lot.

The male lead is also very solid. He shines especially in scenes where he’s frustrated, his reactions feel natural and believable, which makes it easier to connect with his character and emotions.

As for the supporting characters… it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

The second male lead was honestly a bit annoying. His whole “savior-dependent” kind of love felt limiting and repetitive at times. That said, it did seem like he had some growth towards the end, which gave his arc a bit more closure.

On the other hand, the second female lead was the most frustrating character for me. Unlike others, I didn’t feel like she actually learned anything. There was this sense of stagnation that made her really hard to like until the very end.

Overall, “Filing for Love” is worth watching mainly because of the performances and character dynamics. Even with some weaker choices in the supporting arcs, it stays engaging thanks to how strong the main leads are.

C-drama Masterpiece you're wrong, this is a worldwide Masterpiece

This story was the whole package, the actors were phenomenal in delivering the emotions and complexity of their characters, the cinematography and scenery was amazing (makes you wanna live in Gusu forever, well maybe not forever cuz of their bland food, or maybe Lotus Pier's calm lakes is far more appealing, IDK it's a rabbit hole you guys LOL). Now the plot was plotting you'll not get bored for a second, the story will make you dive in the depths of family drama, true friendship, brotherhood, teenage love, rivalry, betrayal, revenge, power, nighthunts and of course the "bromance".
This was the definition of perfection no need to elaborate.

What a family!

I had this in my list on Netflix for a long time - the English translation of the title really meant nothing for me so I was a bit lost on the title! But what a series -  came to watch Shison Jun but loved the whole ensemble.  As much as I love Shison Jun's character he did seem as if he was almost saintly insofar as he hardly ever lost his temper and just took on everything people gave him... it would have been nice to see him setting boundaries a bit.. The dynamics between the family were brilliantly portrayed... I absolutely loved the child actress who played Himari - she was absolutely brilliant - I think she'll have a great future if she decides to continue acting.. Initially I didn't like the character of Ippei Omori - I found him too egotistical and arrogant.. However over time as he slowly became more enmeshed in his new 'family' he changed.. Loved it all but felt that the last 2 episodes were a bit too much focussed on the election: whilst we knew that this was Ippei's original plan to get elected I was reassured to learn that Ippei had arranged a plan NOT to win the election as I really didn't believe he was competent enough nor had the personality to govern.  It would have been nice to see a little bit more of what happened when he came back "home" at the end, what he was doing work-wise and if he ever explored his relationship with Miyako a bit more.

when the master manipulator isn't the real villain...

the clues were there for those with eyes to see - but professor heo was blinded by his envy and his desire for all this fabrication about his first love’s successful husband to be real…

the unreliable narrator, the unsettling plot exposition, and the background score worked so well!!!
the big reveal in the end turned out to unexpectedly be a child’s hurt feelings, but I’m just SO IMPRESSED WITH OUR BELOVED GASLIGHTER/ MANIPULATOR LEE KANG. he got into a super competitive school, formed strategic friendships, hooked the obsessive professor to his fabricated stories and orchestrated a public downfall for the professor. TERRIFYING, YET IMPRESSIVE.

professor heo was the worst character for me in a show about a creepy manipulator ruining his life. he has no care in the world for anyone, not even his wife. his single minded obsession and his envy is what brought about his downfall - he never once questioned that Lee Kang could be making things up, he wanted author Kim Su Hun to be a terrible person so that he could satiate his saviour complex and save his poor wife.

the actors knocked it out of the park with their performances! every micro expression, every reaction contributed to the heightened tension and build up! this project really highlights the duality of Choi Hyun Wook - from an adorable goofball to a chilling villain.
a 9/10 for me. everything worked for me - I was just expecting a bigger motive to ruin someone’s life lol.

explanation of the ending

The second season was perfect in my opinion, a third wasn't needed but I still didn't dislike it. The ending was a bit vague so I'm here to explain it. The Borderlands are (as the Joker explained) places between life and death and if you survive there you will also live in real life but if you die well you will really die. You end up in the Borderlands because there are natural disasters like what happened in Tokyo. In the series we move to Los Angeles where we see a waitress with a sign that says Alice and we hear on TV that a natural disaster also happens in America so in short the ending meant that there would be an Alice in Borderlands American BUT, Netflix confirmed that there won't be one and honestly I prefer it not to be.

That's why we need more episodes to fully develop the story.

The plot is unique and fun to watch at the beginning, but things start to go downhill in the last two episodes. I understand that the audience wants a happy ending, but the way they handled it just doesn't make sense. Scent's uncle and father literally killed Gaysorn's parents, yet we're supposed to believe Gaysorn forgives Scent just like that? It also feels strange that Scent's father is suddenly portrayed as a more neutral character in the later episodes. And after everything that happened, Scent decides to name the perfume after Gaysorn? I understand wanting to create a fragrance inspired by him, but naming it after him gives me the ick. To tell the good thing, the cast and the music are definitely the highlights of the series. But the last two episodes frustrated me so much that even the flock of CGI butterflies surrounding Gaysorn in the final scene annoyed me. What was the direction behind that butterfly CGI? It looked so messy.
