Punti di forza e punti deboli

Allora, devo dire che l'organizzazione mi è piaciuta un pelo di più della prima stagione (nel senso avere le coppie saparate, in modo che tutte le coppie abbiano il giusto numero di episodi e sia equo) è meglio, sopo che avrei preferito che le storie fossere tutte una dietro l'altra, quindi senza quelle tre settimane di stacco, sopratutto perché se le prime due parti erano collegate, la terza era molto meno rispetot alla stroria delle altre due e di conseguenza averle avute vicine mi avrebbe aiutato a stare al passo con la storia. E a stare interessata con l'ultima. Devo dire che la storia che ho preferito è stata quella di Typhoon e Fah, anche se alla fine dei conti tutte hanno avuto il loro perché. Mi è piaciuto riverede i personaggi della prima parte (anche se palesemente ci sono dei bimbi preferiti e quelli meno) e overall la storia ripeto ha abuto una buona continuità con la prima stagione. Un appunto è sull'ultima storia, quella di Tiger e Nao. Allora, anche se è presente una continuità, avrei preferito che ci fossero 3 stagioni (o due però così distribuite): le prime due storie, la prima stagione; le seconde due, la seconda (oppure le prime quattro storie nella prima stagione) e la terza con entrambe le storie dei gemelli (o la seconda, comunque sempre con quella dei gemelli): per alcune ragioni, primo, hanno usato un format differente per quella di Tiger, che apputo fa sembrare la storia staccata rispetto alle altre e poi anche perché non mi sembra giusto che sian state fatte tutte le storie tranne quella del secondo gemello. Per il resto ripeto carina onesta e con delle belle coppie con molta chimica.

Une bonne idée, une mauvaise exécution

On est sur une série typique de lycéens qui font face à un danger. Cela avait si bien commencé avec l'application, les morts, le suspense, je me suis retrouvée prise dans l'enquête avec eux. Malheureusement j'avais l'impression que le temps courait après moi, on apprends à connaître personne, ni qui ils sont, ni leurs relations, ni leurs histoire. Heureusement l'histoire est prenante, mais la fin ruine tout. Je pense que personne n'aime les fins du type : tout était un rêve. Ici c'est le cas : une simulation interminable organisé par deux parents qui veulent venger leur fille et qui kidnappe une classe entière à eux seuls ? J'aurais au moins aimé une suite où la personnage principale, qui n'est d'ailleurs pas faite pour être le personnage principal, prévient les autres pour s'en sortir. Se dire qu'ils vont vivre ça jusqu'à la fin des temps est ridicule.
Le jeu d'acteur était bien sans être transcendant.

Un film de bagarre parmi tant d'autres

Je pense sincèrement que ce film aurait été tellement mieux sous forme de série, ça nous aurait permis d'apprendre à connaître les personnages qui ont tellement de potentiel, comme Si-Min.
Il traite aussi de l'harcèlement, ce qui est pertinent est la violence car on oublie souvent qu'en Corée ils savent être très violent, mais il reste assez en surface sur les conséquences sur la victime ou les modes de résolutions. On plus un film de bagarre avec l'harcèlement comme détail qui justifie qu'une prof se bat.
Le jeu d'acteur reste cependant agréable à voir, très ravie de voir Lee Jung-Young endosser une nouvelle fois le rôle de vilain, il sait toujours bien les faire vivre sans que son jeu d'acteur ne soit répétitif d'un rôle à l'autre. A ses côtés Cha Woo-Min se retrouve aussi une nouvelle fois sous les traits d'un méchant, ce qui m'a fait très plaisir. Shie Hye-Sun a été une révélation, elle a très bien sût nous offrir une belle performance.

Argument Scene Portrayed by LingOrm is marvelous

The scene where Neen and Runch argue is full of emotions. There’s a Thai thing where the couple call themselves as Nong and Phi as an endearment. Then there is Khun and Chun of You and I in a more stranger way. Neen use Khun and Chun to refer herself and to Runch but when the argument gets too emotional, she started to go back and forth from calling Runch as Phi and Nong. It really portrayed how Neen loves Runch so much that even when she try to put up walls to protect her feelings after being said Divorce from her wife, in heated argument, her real feelings/Love comes forward.

this was a HUGE step up from pitbabe

i still love pitbabe but it eventually lacked a sort of something but GBYFD never bored me!! it always kept me on the hook and i always was jumping to the next episode. their acting was amazing and they were able to portray every emotion. pavel's acting especially made me cry with his sister (character) and the final ep. the story definitely had a stronger backbone than pit babe, although i did get lost on the whole relative thing and in the end forgot everything but i was still gripped!! pavelpooh will never bore me 💚

okay, i kind of feel like i need to say they were let down here by the way the story then turned. i was super invested with the storyline at first. it was serious and eerie and supernatural - all the things i enjoy from time to time!! however, as it went on, the story started drifting towards the romance department and essentially forgot about the story and decided to throw a bunch of nonsense at it. i was super confused when bom was revealed as the killer AND related to thup - like what?? they never even explored that storyline anyway. why did atikhun specifically need thup for the ritual if it could've just been anybody born on saturday. the premise and idea of it is so so good and i HEAVILY f'ed with it up until around the time King's dad started getting involved and it all just seeped through cracks and eventually became romance.
i still appreciate the acting of all the actors and i think they did an amazing job!! i became connected to the characters.

its a shame that in the end the plot was a whole bunch of nonsense but i will never say i didn't enjoy the acting! i loved them so much, give them back 💚

Do NOT Watch

The first 3-4 episodes were actually quite enjoyable, especially the comedy. Unfortunately, that's where all the good parts ended. As the story progressed, it kept creating more plot holes and inconsistencies instead of building a compelling narrative.

Great Cast, but terrible writing. It felt like one of those shows that hooks viewers with strong opening episodes, only to completely lose direction afterward. Lately, I've noticed this trend in several K-dramas - great beginnings followed by a steep decline in quality. It almost feels like bait, and I regret spending my time on this one.

Time for a break from K-dramas🙄

Not every drama needs ROMANCE and it's OKAY

See, not every drama leads have to end up together or develop a romance arc .
Friendship is sufficient enough , I loved the relationship between the four people when they sat down and worked on the case , a shame we didn't get the group scenes so much .
The old man needed more love; come on, he did ALOT for dong baek
HEHE that junior guy who had a crush on Superintendent Han would make a nice couple.
Also, the detective already had someone he loved in the past

About the story:
It was trackable at first but then after ep 10 THEY KEPT ADDING CHARACTERSSS , so hard to keep track of who is who , too many names . But still I managed to, and the killer was someone I didn't think of so it was GOOD
and NGL I am with the eraser , our justice system is shit and favours the rich people who get away with every horrible thing and the poor has to suffer.

Dalle ceneri alla noia: la storia di una fenice che resta a terra.

Drama che non si presentava come niente di particolarmente eccezionale, ma che avevo messo in conto di guardare per via della presenza di Zhou Yi Ran. I primi episodi apprezzabili, qualche inquadratura ad effetto, un barlume di curiosità, una buona impressione generale. Tra tutte le tematiche messe sul piatto, il rapporto padre-figlia è stato sicuramente quello che ha avuto maggiore presa: il senso di colpa di Chu Zhao è stato trasposto davvero bene, rispecchiando il difficile conflitto che spesso si genera tra genitori e figli.
Il primo episodio ricorda molto il meccanismo già visto in "Blossom": mostra un futuro infausto che viene però riavvolto, regalando alla protagonista una seconda chance per compiere scelte diverse. Niente di nuovo, insomma.
La noia - ahimè - si palesa già verso il quinto o sesto episodio, troppo presto per riuscire a stringere i denti fino alla fine della serie. La protagonista non è un concentrato di simpatia e il suo sviluppo è decisamente forzato: siccome è figlia di un valoroso generale, deve essere automaticamente un'abile stratega? Non solo, è vissuta per volere del padre lontano dalla capitale e quando, sfidandolo, la raggiunge diventa subito esperta di intrighi di corte e macchinazioni politiche, tanto da divenire principessa e avere niente meno che il giovanissimo erede al trono che praticamente pende dalle sue labbra. Davvero poco credibile. Rispetto al romance, l'ho trovato tremendamente tiepido, probabilmente anche per via della caratterizzazione del personaggio interpretato da Zhou Yi Ran, attore che ho apprezzato in alcuni lavori in passato ma che, col passare degli anni, trovo sempre più confinato in un ruolo che sembra sempre lo stesso: il suo protagonista è sempre quell'anima triste e infelice, silenziosa e schiva, un giovane con un triste e difficile passato, la solita raffinata malinconia che sa ben trasmettere con lo sguardo, quell'aria stoica che sembra voler celare un'eterna sofferenza. E' un attore a suo modo molto elegante, ma inizio a temere anche poco versatile. In questo drama, in particolare, non riesce proprio ad emergere e molti sono gli episodi in cui sembra più che altro relegato a un ruolo di contorno. La vicenda si sviluppa in modo prevedibile, quelli che dovrebbero essere degli incredibili colpi di scena non lo sono affatto (vedasi l'identità della madre) e la schiera dei cattivi è fin troppo affollata per poterne apprezzare meritatamente uno.
A livello tecnico l'investimento economico c'è anche stato, ed è quasi un peccato perchè dato il risultato è stato un po' uno spreco. Ed è così che "Ashes to crown", invece di una rinascita epica, mostra sostanzialmente una fenice che resta a terra e non decolla mai. L'unica cosa che si solleva dalle ceneri di questo drama è tanta - evitabilissima - noia.

The World of Doors I Never Wanted to Leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Spirealm is yet another 10/10 masterpiece from China. Every once in a while, a show comes along that completely pulls you into its world, and this is one of them.

The cast and the entire production team did an exceptional job bringing the novel to life. Every performance feels authentic, the storytelling keeps you invested, and the visuals are absolutely stunning. But what truly stands out is the chemistry between the leads. It's so natural and emotionally charged that these bromance dramas honestly give me more butterflies than many BLs. There's just something irresistible about forbidden love, and this show delivers it perfectly.

I loved everything about it. It honestly deserves so much more recognition. It pains me that not enough people are talking about it. If you haven't watched The Spirealm yet, please give it a chance. You won't regret it.

Still falls onto generic drama.

I watched this drama and somehow FL was quite weaker and more humane than first version. While First version shows Japanese Heroine optimistic style FL this one still leans on to generic weak duanju FL while still possessing ambitious studious girl. FL was more weak heart than first version because she stills believe her mom and evil brothers. This drama dont show redemption to FL family which make me unsatisfied. Wang Qian acting stills decent but somehow she is not memorable which is make me forgetting i had watch other Lim Siwang version more than Zhang Yinfei version.

Recommended if you are fans of actress.

A Clay Doll Beside Jasmine’s Bloom

In the opening episodes of The First Jasmine, the female lead shines with vibrancy and emotional depth, commanding the screen with her layered performance. Unfortunately, the male lead feels more like a blank canvas than a character. His lack of expressiveness—stiff body language, flat delivery, and a face that rarely betrays emotion—leaves viewers guessing at his inner world rather than being drawn into it.

Instead of coming across as stoic or mysterious, he risks fading into the background, overshadowed by the female lead’s energy. This imbalance makes the early episodes feel uneven, as the audience is left searching for signs of life in a character who should be central to the story.

The drama could have benefited from a male lead who conveyed subtle intensity or quiet vulnerability, but as it stands, he resembles a clay doll—present, but not alive.

Ruined momentum

Discovering this series and hearing Boy Sompob's voice right from the start felt magical. I really liked how it began. It gave us that fluffy, green-flag top that was impossible to resist. And can we talk about the cast? The main couple, the second couple... honestly, everyone was handsome!

However, somewhere in the middle, NC scenes started becoming a major part of the series. Again, I don't hate NC scenes, but I feel they should happen at the right timing. As for the plot, the blackmailing, kidnapping, and all that, it just felt a little off for me. I'm sorry. The characters also didn't seem to have much development. Until the very end, they kept dragging themselves around with the same toxic traits. Lol.

Last but not least, that dance they were practicing. I swear they were practicing the same dance throughout the entire series. 😂

One of my favorite Japanese dramas growing up

I just wanted to say that this Japanese drama was the best one I ever watched as a kid, I grew up watching a lot of Japanese dramas like Ikebukuro west gate park, Gokusen, 2nd house, Gekka no Kishi, Samurai cat and Kisarazu cats eye. I have rewatched Tiger and dragon as many times as I can remember and all I have to say was from the time I grew up watching this Japanese drama till rewatching it now as a adult was probably one of the best things I have ever done and let me tell you the ending got me so good I was bawling at the end of the episode!! I grew up watching a lot of well known Japanese actors on TV such as Tomoya Nagase, Junichi okada and Kazuki Kitamura. I found out about tiger and dragon through growing up with Jpop and other genres of Japanese music. as soon as I found out about Junichi Okada from V6 and Tomoya Nagase from the pop group Tokio both starring in tiger and dragon little me back in 2007 said "im defiantly going to watch this Jdrama" when I watched the first episode back in 2007 I immediately fell in love with the acting, storytelling and of course the music!! when I heard Utao Utao for the first time by V6 I couldn't stop playing it on my CD player since the song was and still is to this day super catchy!! Everything about this Japanese drama will always hold a special place in my heart and I highly recommend checking out Junichi Okada's Tomoya Nagase's and Kazuki kitamuras other Japanese dramas they starred in!!

Pretty standard romance

I enjoyed watching this. I haven't seen a lot of straight Thai romances, but this one seems to follow the same formula as other Asian dramas. I don't mind that though. The beginning of the show seemed to follow Mirin a bit more where the later episodes seemed to follow Vee more and I liked that we got both. I liked the story overall too. Nothing was drawn out in my opinion which I liked a lot. I thought it wrapped up pretty good too. I didn't really like that Chanon's mom ended up as the CEO, but I get why they did that.

I loved Vee as a character a lot. He was really funny and so caring. I loved seeing how much he'd do if it meant his love ones were happy. I liked seeing his story with his mother too, especially once he found her. I love Dew so much (he's the reason I watched this in the first place).
I liked Mirin for the most part as well. She annoyed me in some moments, but I liked her overall. Her actress did a pretty good job too for the most part.
I liked the two of them together as well. I thought they brought different sides of each other out which was nice to see. They had so many cute moments together that made them feel like a realistic couple.
I didn't trust Chanon's vibes right off the bat, so I wasn't shocked when he starting being shitty. I just never got good vibes from him.
Thanya was obviously garbage and I didn't like her one bit. Everything I've seen her actress in she has been awful so props to the actress for playing that so well. I liked Ewes a lot, she was a good character.
Manit and Maew Kwak were such useless characters until they did the thing for Thanya. I genuinely think they weren't needed at all. They could've had that story still but just had it be two nameless characters and I think it would've been the exact same. It was nice seeing Pepper and JJ, but I stand by what I said.

It's not long and it's pretty enjoyable so I would recommend!
