He chengxi excellent profomance and is his co actors in the series [ Sammy's children's day ]

I honestly did not expect Sammy’s Children’s Day to affect me this deeply, but this drama completely exceeded every expectation I had. From the first episode to the last, everything about it felt emotional, cinematic, and unforgettable.

What makes this drama so special is that it is not just another romance story. It feels like an emotional journey set inside a dangerous and broken world. The 1980s Hong Kong atmosphere, the gang setting, the emotional tension, the loyalty, and the sacrifice all come together beautifully. Every episode carried emotional weight and felt meaningful.

The chemistry between He Changxi and He Yanchao is honestly one of the strongest chemistries I have seen in a BL drama. Their acting felt incredibly natural, and many scenes did not even need dialogue because their expressions and body language already said everything. The emotional connection between them felt genuine, deep, and powerful.

One of my favorite things was how naturally the relationship developed. Nothing felt rushed. You could slowly feel the trust growing between them through small moments — the silent protection, the worried looks, the jealousy, the vulnerability, and the quiet care they showed each other. Watching them slowly become each other’s safe place in such a cruel world made the emotional scenes hit even harder.

He Changxi gave such a calm and emotionally layered performance. He made his character feel gentle, intelligent, and quietly strong at the same time. Every expression felt meaningful, even in silence, and you could feel the emotions underneath every scene.

He Yanchao was incredible as well. He balanced danger and softness perfectly, making his character unforgettable. His protective nature, emotional vulnerability, and deep attachment to Chu San made many scenes genuinely heartbreaking because his emotions felt so real.

The cinematography also deserves huge praise. The neon lights, rainy streets, dark alleyways, and vintage Hong Kong atmosphere created such an immersive world. Every frame felt carefully crafted and emotionally meaningful, making the drama feel far more cinematic than a typical series.

What I loved most is how emotionally mature the story feels. The romance is not only about attraction — it is about trust, healing, survival, loyalty, and finding comfort in another person while living in darkness. That is what makes the relationship feel so much deeper and more memorable.

The soundtrack, storytelling, pacing, and emotional atmosphere blended together perfectly. There were so many scenes that stayed in my mind long after I finished the episodes because the emotions felt so genuine.

What truly made this drama unforgettable for me is how human the characters felt. Both characters carry loneliness, fear, pain, and emotional scars, but through each other they slowly begin to heal. Watching that journey felt beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

Sammy’s Children’s Day is emotional, intense, beautifully acted, visually stunning, and deeply memorable. The actors gave incredible performances, and their chemistry created something truly special.

This is not just a drama you watch and forget. It is one of those stories that stays with you long after it ends.

A Win For Reciprocal Love!

This drama started out pretty cliche for me but completely won me over by episode 3.

What is truly commendable is how they've taken a lot of cliche creative decisions and made them uniquely theirs in the best way. From love triangles to the cold man x sunshine girl dynamic to the generous villagers and small town romance tropes, everything works well within the context of the show and they make it feel very lived in and real. The theme of homeshopping hosts, influencing, faulty products and the real damage all of these can leave when careless was explored with sincerity too and not treated like a plot device.

But outside it all, what stands out the most is the main couple, specifically how the FL Dam Yejin is just as into the ML Mechoori. Their dynamics are so healthy, natural and reciprocal from the beginning that rooting for them simply felt like the easiest thing to do while watching this drama. You could even say that Yejin falls first for the goodness she sees in Mechoori and Mechoori quickly follows suit seeing Yejin's sincerity. Both of them feel like real individuals with their own lives who choose to build something together without becoming codependent in an unhealthy way. Mechoori's kindness exists outside of Yejin and Yejin's sincerity exists outside of Mechoori, and yet these same traits that define them are exactly what they also extend to each other which ultimately makes them fall for one another.

They are truly the highlight of the show for me. Two genuinely wonderful and kind people who found their way to each other and keep spreading the same generosity around them! A match made in heaven, truly! They didn’t even need a confession scene to announce the beginning of their relationship...that's basically unheard of in kdramas and the most interesting thing is that it works here because the transition from being strangers to lovers felt *that* effortless and natural.

Ahn Hyo Seop was as usual a delight to watch and Chae Won Bin was very impressive as a newcomer. Their chemistry felt very natural and easy from ep 1 with a lot of the subtext filled tension that makes onscreen chemistry work for me. Chae Won Bin is definitely someone I'm looking out for from here on out. She is the perfect romance lead. She gives the best heart eyes and looks at her ML with so much love, exactly the kind of performance that makes a romance worth watching coz sincerity and genuine affection from the FL just makes your ML look that much more attractive to the audience. Likewise, I hope Ahn Hyo Seop keeps doing more of these romcoms. He has amazing chemistry with all his costars and it shines here too. He plays a restrained, traumatized young man who opens up with the help of genuinely good people around him very well.

The supporting cast make their world feel more alive and so many of them stand out. The SML love triangle arc doesn't linger long enough to leave a bad taste either.

So this has definitely become my third favorite romcom this year after Spring Fever and Our Universe.

Very thankful to the makers of SOOY for this amazing show!

Highly recommend for fans of dramas like Spring Fever, Hometown Cha Cha Cha and Summer Strike.

This miniseries is like a war.

This miniseries is like a war, because the protagonists have to endure an impossible number of emotional blows!

First (01.), a young man confesses his feelings for his best friend (Ryu). It’s incredibly distressing. What are the chances that these feelings will be reciprocated? Answer: virtually nonexistent.

02. As expected, the feelings are initially just being processed. During this time, however, rumors start spreading, and the young man jumps out the window and ends up in a coma.

03. The pressure on Ryu is immense because he feels guilty in so many ways. He is not allowed to visit his friend, whom he seems to care for in some way.

04. Ryu "flees" to Berlin, Germany, where a childhood friend works and studies. Lost and adrift, he enters a church that is the target of an arson attack.

05. Ryu is rescued from the flames by Jo Han (or Johan/Johann). He now feels guilty about this, yet he can’t even properly thank him, because Johan is a typical loner who believes he shouldn’t show his true feelings. He is completely incapable of accepting gratitude.

06. To cheer him up, Ryu’s childhood friend takes him to a boxing match. How crazy is that decision? There, Ryu realizes that one of the boxers is Johan, who gets knocked down. I know a lot of people enjoy this sport. It would weigh heavily on me. We also learn at that moment that the boxers have been bribed, which weighs heavily on Johan.
And we meet Johan’s sister, who is studying medicine in Germany.

07. We learn that Johan and his sister grew up practically without parents, and that Johan supports his (clever) sister in any way he can.

08. Back to Japan, Ryu is still so shaken by his friend’s accident/suicide that he gives up his career as a college ice hockey player. Here we meet Seiichi, who’s always in a good mood and spreads cheer wherever he goes.

09. Meanwhile, in Seoul, Johan is giving up his boxing career.

10. Johan visits Ryu in Japan, where he meets Ryu’s parents, and we learn about the death of Ryu’s uncle 13 years ago. An artist whom Ryu obviously enjoyed spending time with as a child.

11. Ryu’s best friend wakes up from a coma, and the two talk. Ryu apologizes—and, as I suspected, the one who came out about his feelings suddenly doesn’t want to understand Ryu’s feelings, who feels responsible. And then we don’t see anything more of the “best friend” for the rest of the series.

12. Johan completes his military service. He spends two years in squalor, is bullied for being a former boxer, and has to endure hardships for which no one takes responsibility.

13. After finishing his military service, Johan goes to a bar whose owner he knows well. Some patrons arrive who behave badly, provoke trouble, and unleash raw violence on the bar owner. Johan puts a stop to it and learns that the whole thing was a setup, an act of revenge by a scoundrel.

14. The press finds out from the former boxer in a gay bar, which ruins Johan's potential career as coach.

15. Of course, Johan can’t think of a better solution than to hide away. Until Ryu pulls him out of a tight spot and takes him to Japan.

16. Ryu’s high school girlfriend is now back in Japan; she meets Seiichi through Ryu, they get married, and she’s expecting a child.
We learn that the high school girlfriend was neglected by her parents and was raised by Ryu’s parents.

17. Seiichi, the cheerful, life-affirming guy, is hit by a truck while singing and doesn’t survive the accident.

18. We witness Seiichi’s funeral and the accusations hurled by a parent at Ryu’s heavily pregnant school friend.

19. And as if all this shit weren’t enough in terms of challenges and failures, Johan has to suffer from an incurable disease.

20. Johan does NOT confide in Ryu and does what he does best: run away.

21. Johan pretends to be interested in someone else, moves out, and leaves a mess behind.

22. A few years later, Ryu’s school friend finds out that Johan is sick and doesn’t tell Ryu until a year later.

23. Ryu and Johan meet again in Germany, where Johan is in a wheelchair and has essentially made his final video testament.


Sorry, folks, this is just too much for me. A bomb carpet of 23 impacts.
There are many wonderful moments in the series.
But there’s also a constant lack of communication. I’m German, and I’m often seen as rude... addressing things head-on—both what’s going well and what isn’t. And if a script can only work because people talk past each other, don’t say what’s on their minds, and out of misplaced concern don’t want to be a burden to anyone, then to me that’s a disaster for me.
Of course, you shouldn’t just brutally throw the truth in someone’s face. But… make up your own mind. How many movies and TV shows would have lasted if the characters had just come clean with each other relatively early on?
I think a script like that is incredibly weak—it would be much more sophisticated if writers could find a solution for it. I think either the writer is trying to make a point so that you say, “HEY, WHY AREN’T YOU GUYS TALKING TO EACH OTHER?” or he's just being lazy to find a solution.

The series is well made. The writer must have done a tremendous amount of research, or perhaps he lived in Germany himself. The scenes set in Berlin are very well chosen. The details are almost spot on.
The basic story is good, too. Two people in "need" meet and heal each other. And together they are strong and weather a few storms.
But does it really have to be 23? Three would be enough for me. Or if we want to be generous in judging negative events, let’s make it 10. But please, not 23...

The actors were excellent. I fell in love with every single character. I’d take them all home with me and take good care of them.

The music was not too bland, but not overpowering either.


This series is not a BL series!
BL is a genre of its own. A world lined with rose-colored velvet that makes hearts race when a man seduces another man. The male lead cannot simply be replaced by a woman, because part of a BL story is the “Oh my, I’m a man—why do I have feelings for a man?” moment, and I submit to my male-male partner without any sexual submissiveness.

So, BL fans, this series is NOT in the BL genre.
This series is about as far from being BL as Tokyo is from Berlin.
This series is a battle zone. Unfortunately.

Dear Shunki. Please show me your next piece.
I’ll gild that for you then. Promise.


The best part at the end was the confession. Those redeeming words: “I love you.”

Have some FUN

This is a good show to watch when you want to unwind at the end of the day, without using any grey cells. It's fun, it's sweet, it has the right amount of drama - and it makes no sense at all. The business aspect of the show has way too many plot holes to be believable, but the show doesn't take itself seriously 99% of the time anyway, so I simply ignore it. I would have liked some more romantic scenes between our couple, but the show has made me laugh and cry exactly when I needed it, and that's all I wanted from it (+ the music added so much to the comedy, I LOVED it lmao). Turn your brain off, and have a laugh, have some whimsy in your life!

one of the most tender, sincere, genuine explorations of trauma in queer men

this was absolutely brilliant. incredibly profound and poignant. one of the most tender, sincere, genuine explorations of trauma in queer men.

the film perfectly encapsulates how, as mackinnon once put, in sex, “the acted upon is feminized, is the ‘girl’ regardless of sex, the actor correspondingly masculinized.” then, it follows that feminized queer men experience and compartmentalize male violence in similar ways to women, while also facing different challenges in a world where their existence is often only allowed through degradation and criminalization.

this film understands something its modern counterparts that try to tackle similar themes of gay hookup culture and “toxic” relationships very rarely get right: romanticizing violence is a trauma response. desires produced under patriarchy (and capitalism) interact with one’s positionality and relevant social capital and may manifest as desire to own, desire to harm, or desire to be owned and harmed.

ah lan repeats how the convict loves her executioner and he says, “we love you. we have no other choice.” a lot of queer men, like a lot of women, have not known love but have experienced being sexually desired. in fact, it is often the only kind of attention they receive from the people they expect to be loved and cherished by. being sexually desired and then experiencing sexual pleasure through that interaction corrupts their understanding of intimacy and “love.” like ah lan, who has been traumatized with many such interactions, one, then, starts seeking attention through danger, violence, domination. when recounting an experience of rape, ah lan says he resisted but later yielded and then he was filled with pleasure: “is it not what making love is all about?” similar to the workings of the gay conversion therapy he was exposed to at the hospital, the euphoric feeling of sexual pleasure becomes associated with violence and domination, which he cross checks with societal narratives about love, and it doesn’t seem to get challenged at all.

what i find particularly poignant about the aforementioned quote from ah lan is that he acknowledges “we have no other choice.” similar to a lot of women, a lot of gay men strive for male recognition, the legitimizers of the world and all worldly things. “we have no other choice” because it is men who have the power to define things and violence is usually the only form “love” ever arrives in from them.

i also loved the scene where ah lan is once again recounting an experience where he was abused and it goes like this: are you crazy? i love him. you’re sick. no, i’m gay. i love him. i thought this simple dialogue had quite a lot of depth as it showed ah lan’s understanding of homosexuality, at least the position he occupied in his sexual (or any) relations with men, as submissive, engaged in self-erasure, and barely human. it’s almost as if he said when you’re gay, It’s Just What Happens. this is just what “love” looks like when you’re gay.

moreso, the film is not interested in making the policeman’s repression easy to sympathize with because, at the end of the day, isn’t it that they’re suffering from the same thing? yet, their proximity to power completely changes their positionality and he gets to resort to violence whenever he cannot manage his feelings and channel it all onto ah lan’s body.

i loved how they used hands as a narrative motif that carried touch in relation to desire and longing and belonging. i also thought ah lan’s characterization was utterly interesting. incredibly imaginative yet so restrained. the self-performance was melancholic but self-assured and strong at the same time; it felt like he was deeply aware of his suffering and it felt like he was sustained by the self-performance.

i think the sad part about it all was ah lan’s desire to be loved without having any idea of what it is or what it might feel like. he spoke of love without possessing a healthy emotional language for it, without ever being allowed any room for it. true intimacy and love become impossible in the existence of such hierarchy yet the yearning to be touched emotionally remains.

women and queer people often struggle with this but if domination is the only language through which you can receive attention, and desire, and pleasure, it naturally becomes hard to distinguish love from violence, especially when you haven’t been afforded the power of defining.

Yes, Finally! A Kdrama That Actually Entertained Till The End

Not to sound weird but I haven’t watched a kdrama that kept me hooked until the end in a veryyyyyy long time!

Not until this one!

Honestly, I was sceptical about watching at first for so many reasons. One, I don’t like sci-fi series, two…whatever that’s not the point of this review.

So, back to the point, I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy this show as much as I did but it surprisingly held my attention from start to finish.

It’s a good watch for sure. Love all the comedy too and the little side romance. I don’t have anything negative to say about this show.

Now, religious people or extremists might find this show a bit hard-to-watch which understandably so because it subtly critiques the problem of extremism.

Anyways I have to say this show is my cup of tea and I hope there’s a second season soon.

You better watch it!

WORKPLACE CHAOS

The story follows Dam Ye-jin, a powerhouse television home shopping host known for her legendary 'sell-outs' streaks. Outwardly successful but privately battling severe chronic insomnia and a career setback, she is desperately trying to secure an exclusive beauty contract with a major corporation. Her mission takes her deep into the countryside to find Matthew Lee, a meticulous, multi-tasking researcher and farmer who holds the exclusive right to a rare, miracle cosmetic ingredient ( the 'white-flowered Noori mushroom'). Guarded, blunt, and fiercely protective of his town, Matthew wants nothing to do with corporate sharks. When Ye-jin invades his quiet rural life to secure the contract, the stage is set for a hilarious, chaotic clash of worlds.

Furthermore, Ahn Hyo-seop plays brilliantly against his usual 'suave CEO' type here. As Matthew Lee ( fondly nicknamed Mechoori by the locals) is delightfully gruff, a bit stiff, and practical, he hides a deeply, fiercely protective heart. Chae Won-bin is a total standout. She handles the physical comedy flawlessly without ever making her character feel like she's over-acting. Her transition from a high-strung, burnt-out workaholic to someone who finds peace in the country is credibly endearing. The show shines brightest when it leans into its rural comedy elements. The local village ahjummas, the chaotic town sports festival, and the ridiculous subplots, like a quick game of one-on-one basketball turning into a massive ego battle, give the series a genuinely warm,community-driven feel. Also, the production team did a fantastic job with the split-screen sequences early on, contrasting Ye-jin's sterile,showroom-like city apartment with Matthew's peaceful, nature-driven routine. The cinematography in the rural village is gorgeously warm and scenic.

However, while the first two-thirds of the show are full of lighthearted fun and healing, the final two episodes stumble slightly by throwing in a few too many artificial corporate conflicts and late-stage misunderstandings. It forces dramatic tension where a cozy wrap would have sufficed. The timeline of product development, manufacturing, and corporate scandals happens at warp speed. It's a drama where you have to turn off the logical side of your brain regarding business logistics and just enjoy the character interactions.

In conclusion, Sole Out on You doesn't reinvent the classical K-drama rom-com wheel, but it executes its tropes with so much heart and humor that it's impossible not to smile. It's a breezy, comforting watch that beautifully captures how people with 'holes in their hearts' can help each other heal.

Love You Back

To be honest, this is one of the best BLs to come out of Thailand in a very, very long time. Not only is it entertaining from the beginning, it maintains its entertainment value throughout. The storyline is creative and novel, and I honestly looked forward to every episode because each was fresh and original. The story’s theme was not just saturated in love but decidedly rich in devotion, reverence, and fidelity to one another. It has been a long time since I have been wholly impressed with a Thai BL; this gave me hope that they can indeed get back to making quality series again. This is clearly a “must see” for everyone. Unquestionably, it should also be considered a nominee for Best BL of this year. The full devotion of its simple message to love, devotion, and dedication and the simple smart and entertaining way it delivered was astonishingly effective. It also shows the importance of recognizing the role of mental health in the development of healing our bodies. I might suggest in the future that the series not be afraid to ‘label’ the conditions that are being expressed, rather than merely painting a visual picture. It is “okay” for us to deal with real conditions that hinder us from moving forward in living and let those who love us and our communities support us in our efforts to improve. We must no longer feel ashamed or afraid or embarrassed. We are who we are. This is a BL series that will stick with you for a long time.

Missed Opportunity

As a fan of ABO I was really excited for this. However, they don't explain the ABO dynamics and it feels like they don't have a world system in mind. They just throw around words like "alpha" with no real thought behind it. I also don't really care for race car driving plot. It didn’t hold my interest. Another thing that added to the disappointment was how the friends were one-dimensional and ignorant. It's a shame because the two MC's have chemistry and showed some good acting, but the lack of investment in the story and understanding of ABO led to lackluster results.

It's Fine - That's the Highest Compliment I can Give It

You ever watched a story and found yourself thinking, 'had this aired at a different time, or perhaps if I were a different personI'd have liked (tolerated) it better?' When this started airing, I thought I'd love it. I left myself a note at the end of episode 2 stating how much I enjoyed how the plot and setting both reminded me of 'Business Proposal' & 'Welcome to Samdal-ri'. Dramas that, while I thoroughly enjoyed, had (and still get) scathing reviews.

The scathing comments kept coming in, and for the initial 5 episodes, I tuned them out. The show worked for me, and I like what I like, so whatever. Screw what the naysayers were peddling. However, after episode 6, I started slowly siding with the masses.😭

Let's start with what I liked
🍄‍🟫The comedy - They did have some funny bits. Did I find myself laughing to the point I lost my breath or had tears running down my face? No. But they did manage to get several chuckles out of me.

🍄‍🟫References to previous dramas - They had Anh Hyo Seop on the team, and they decided to milk that for all it was worth. They had multiple references to 'Business Proposal' -some obvious, some not-, as well as K-pop Demon Hunters. I also believe that the sprinkler kiss in the mushroom greenhouse was a little nod to 'King the Land.' That's my kind of fanservice and I was very happy about it.

🍄‍🟫The live selling aspect - This is purely based on the fact that it's a niche interest of mine. I kept wishing (and still do wish) that they gave us a deeper look into that. Because 2 reasons
a. It serves a particular interest of mine.
b. It showcases a much different career path than what we're used to in dramas

🍄‍🟫The villagers and Dam Ye Jin's 2 coworkers - The villagers' r/ship with Mechoori was quite endearing to watch - you know, b4 they turned on him. I liked that tsundere r/ship he had with them. I loved how Dam Ye Jin and her coworkers remained friends, and they had her back despite her being kicked out after the scandal. They worked well together

My Frustrations
🍄‍🟫Noble Idiocy - Ah! The Achilles heel of many a Kdrama (Cdramas and Jdramas included).
So both characters are struggling with things in their past. Ordinarily, I would be empathetic; however, I found myself struggling in this case. If you look objectively at both their past traumas, any reasonable person would at least suspect a setup. Even without damning evidence against the other party.

Based on that, the burden they chose to carry (because, yes, this was very much a choice, and a bad one at that) really made no sense to me. I understand when authors and screenwriters wanna write green flag, pure characters, who feel deeply, but it comes to a point that..... Nah man.

🍄‍🟫The therapy debate (or, rather, the lack thereof)
Our mains needed some serious therapy to help deal with the issues of the past. But, despite being well off enough to afford it, no one suggests, considers, or seeks it. She, abuses sleeping pills to the point of detrimental side effects and is a workaholic. He, on the other hand, hides, becoming a corporate life recluse in an idyllic farming village.

I would want to yell at this drama for this one, but this is an overarching Kdrama issue - not one specifically tied to this one show. Therapy is for the birds in dramas. Depression, suppressed trauma, and other mental health issues are fixed by copious amounts of alcohol (I'm looking at you, Doctor Slump), comeuppance, and the amazing power of love... sigh

🍄‍🟫How do time and distance work in this world?
In the 1st (?) ep when she has to go to the village to meet him, it takes the better part of the morning. She also mentioned that she needed to leave the village early as she had a broadcast later that night. When they started meeting daily so he could give her the meds, they showed on the navigation that he'd have to drive about 2, maybe 2.5 hrs to get back to Seoul. This is at around 1/2 am, when one would assume there's no traffic.

Now, based on those instances, can someone tell me how this man got from the village to Seoul and managed to save her from almost getting run over that one night? Can he teleport? Could his car achieve speeds of light speeds and they never told us? I hate it when seemingly turn off your brains shows make me turn my brain back on. You need to find a balance with the absurd, unbelievable nonsense. I can only gaslight myself so much

🍄‍🟫The sleepwalking and the sleep phone calls - Went on for too damn long

🍄‍🟫 I wish we had gotten her mother's side of the story.
Something more than 'I will sabotage and be rude to my daughter for years after the tabloids said that she took a bribe to sabotage my career - and she said she did in a heated moment.' I think the story about a woman choosing a career over being a mother is such an interesting one.

We rarely see these types of stories. It sucks that they never explored it. I would've liked to see her internal battle/struggle with this vs the trauma on the child, coz both sides are valid. We only get to see how Dam Ye Jin was hurt, but never quite the mom's side. But perhaps this particular drama wasn't the best vessel for such a deep and nuanced conversation

🍄‍🟫The romance/chemistry - I didn't get butterflies or swoon. Were they cute? Sure. But while they told me they were in love and they acted as people in love, I didn't buy into it. Into their chemistry.

This is in comparison to dramas like 'Filling for Love' and 'My Royal Nemesis'.

As I type this, the former is 2 episodes from the finale, and so far, I have loved the chemistry between the main characters. I bought into their journey to each other and the romance. They are swoonworthy and spicy. In the latter drama, both of them are crazy. We are halfway through airing, so they have every chance to fuck it up (fingers crossed they don't), but their journey so far is more on the giggle, kick your feet side.

Now having this show air in tandem with the other two... yeah, not a fair fight. The romance and chemistry in this were certainly and glaringly lacking.

🍄‍🟫Final Thoughts🍄‍🟫
While it did start with the potential to be good in my eyes, the plot, pacing, and absurdity of some choices and sequences put me off the show. IMO, skip it. But if you wanna try it, perhaps watch it as a background noise drama. It has some good, but they are overshadowed by the bad.

She only has eyes for you

Cute and funny short series with a classic misunderstanding trope. Not bad, but definitely nothing special.

Things I liked:
1. Cute moments.
2. Supportive sister. She is a great sister and best friend.

Things I disliked:
1. Voiceover. No matter how many series I watch with voice-overs, I can never get used to them. I know why they are a thing, but I just personally dislike them.
Even though sometimes they are better and less noticeable than others, here the quality of voiceover is mediocre.
Not to sound disrespectful, but if I wanted a voiceover, I would watch series dubbed.
Also, from what I can remember, this is the first Taiwanese series that I've seen to have voiceovers, so I was quite surprised at first.
2. Acting was tense and awkward at times; their "romantic" moments felt quite unnatural.
3. Last episode is like a fever dream, a whole lot of nothing. Was that added drama really necessary?

Overall, I enjoyed watching it, but as I mentioned, it is really nothing special. Sweet little series, worth it if you just want something easy to watch.
