I recommend it
I liked the show even though it was not what I usually watch/like to watch I enjoyed itThe show starts with MC doing aura farm and damn that’s cool. I was hooked to few first episodes because of MC’s aura farm but the story hooked me even harder. The show have a great mysterious story which we will uncover that over different episodes
The show was episodic but it didn’t felt that way to me. Every episode have their own story but they are also connected to previous ones
Some of the backstories can be agonizing to some ppl so it may not be for everyone
I also really liked how it felt like that characters (specially when the minister talks about the rules and how ppl should treat teachers)

An Engaging Blend of Mystery, Tension, and Emotion
I believe this drama can appeal to fans of both short- and long-form content. Directed by Zeng Qingjie—whom I know from Provoke, Butterflied Lover, and Blossom—this drama is no exception in terms of quality. It features a strong ensemble cast, and I found the second leads just as compelling as the main ones. This was my first time watching Ke Ying, Kay Song, and Wang Zexuan, and their performances were both strong and captivating. It’s easy to see why they’ve gone on to appear in many more dramas.The story is tense and gripping, with twists and mysteries that are well-paced. While not overly difficult to predict, they are still satisfying in their execution. The villain arcs are deeply human, often blurring the lines of empathy and morality. I especially enjoyed the dynamics between Ke Ying and Cheng Lei, as well as between Ke Ying and Wang Zexuan. Overall, this drama offers a compelling viewing experience that I’d recommend to anyone

It was worth sticking till the end
Love Upon a Time had a pretty rough start for me,the pacing is slow and the tone is all over the place with comedy and serious storyline clashing a lot, which made the first half kind of hard to get intoBut it gets way better in the second half when it stops forcing the humor and focuses more on the actual story and emotions,the character development is stronger, and the romance actually starts to feel real.
Net and JJ’s chemistry is definitely the highlight,they really sell Phop and Nakhun’s relationship and make it feel natural and earned, by the end, with the visuals and OST, it actually turns into a pretty solid watch overall.

LUAT takes BL to another level
the super intricate plot of this historical drama is so well executed over the course of 12 episodes! part murder mystery, part romance, part period drama, part sci-fi—there’s so much going on, but everything is perfectly paced. The setting and costuming are so beautiful and lush, and the language really immerses you into the story. NetJJ and LatteKim did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. the actors in the supporting roles were also well cast. I highly, highly recommend this show!Was this review helpful to you?

Unpopular opinion...
But I didn't enjoy as much as everyone else :(The beginning was SO difficult to really relate with the main leads (honestly both of them). Their "understanding" for each other seemed forced? Like especially the female lead; like yes let me be the one person to go for the craZy guy...
Even after watching the entirety of all the episodes; YES I did get more context as to why each person is as so (this is for ANYONE in life) BUT there were so many instances that I didn't agree with some of the actions and words said by the main leads... Of course no one is perfect and we all fall short, make some regrettable decisions... but it was just really hard to really LOVE the leads.
I do think this storyline was realistic as in terms of some people really do never make it (whatever career choices, sports, blah blah) so I totally can see why others have really enjoyed and loved the artistic approach.
Definitely a more slice of life sort of drama, daily life, and a lot of emotions...
I would say, I would WARN those that are maybe not emotionally stable (very depressed or anxious); I think the beginning is a really hard watch.
Acting was definitely great though!
Overall; I would not recommend this drama however I do think it had a unique and artistic approach that others have already and would enjoy.

Mature actor plays child in insane grotesquerie
I cannot stand to watch this actress repeatedly cast as an unconvincing child, while there is nothing about her that bespeaks youth or innocence. It seems grotesque and clown-like to me.This was probably a bad decision all-around. She can't carry the game. It literally makes her seem like the caricatures of very old Hollywood stars who can't face ageism or loss of fame gracefully, so they go insane.
Mind you, I have seen hundreds of C-dramas, I love all types, but this casting, and watching a grown woman act petty, childish, and bratty, makes me seriously queasy.
DNF, 2 EPS and I was sickened.

Such a heartfelt and meaningful message communicated through the show!
I have never had to deal with such serious disorders or diseases, but this kdrama really made me feel like I was one of the nurses living through what hospital life felt like. The characters were so relatable, and I liked how there were a lot of different representations of different disorders and such. Moreover, I did not expect such a change throughout the other end of the show; when she begins to feel depressed and gains symptoms slowly, I thought that was really well portrayed as it didn't happen quickly, but more gradually. Through the female lead, I was able to see the challenges she faced during her job and the adversities she had to overcome as a nurse with depression. Especially during that episode, I guess I saw that doctors and nurses are also people and humans who have feelings.Personally, I think the only thing that is making me hesitant about making it a full 10/10 is the pacing and a little bit of the romance that was depicted. Don't hate me for saying this, but I think the childhood friend had more chemistry than the other doctor! Maybe because they just clash well together and had better banter, but I felt like the romance between the fl and ml felt rushed and kind of forced. From giving rice cakes out and quickly developing feelings for the fl, I feel like it was too quick. However, I did like that he never gave up on his feelings and pursued her: that is what made him better than the childhood friend. He had more courage and wasn't a coward like the childhood friend, but I just wish I could see them interact more, as I didn't feel that spark between them that I did with the fl and her childhood friend.
Overall, this kdrama had an excellent plot, and the actors did such an amazing job with their roles! I loved how the story showed that professionals can also feel feelings and can experience hardships just as much as their patients. I felt connected to the main characters of the show, and I especially loved the head nurse and her story about her sister. It made me feel like she was fit for her job.

world building lacks a bit
Throughout the whole show I was wondering how certain details about the world building each kingdom's cultivation techniques, etc. work. I'm not sure whether that information was lost from book to series adaptation or if it never existed in the first place. It makes me want to read the book.I also felt that the dialogue was weak at times and the script could've been better to have a stronger sense of relationship between certain characters or to build up tension in moments of danger and through hardships.
The story itself was very enjoyable, although I think the ending happened a bit too quick. The final battle lasted way less than I thought it would, as though it was too easy.
Aesthetically it was very pretty and I liked all the actors on it.

One of my favorite series!
One of my favorite series!As a FirstKhao fan, this show met all my expectations in every way. I loved seeing Khaotung as a ruthless hitman who turns into an absolute cutie whenever he's around First's character. Meanwhile, First's character, consumed by guilt, gradually gets caught up in the situation and spends the last six episodes trying to make amends.
Episode 6 is, by far, the best episode of the series for me.
I also discovered JoongDunk through this show and was immediately won over by their chemistry. Dunk, in particular, plays his role perfectly.
However, I have to say that what truly sets The Heart Killers apart is its soundtrack. Every song is carefully selected by P'Jojo and fits each scene perfectly. Even a year later, the soundtrack is still among my favorites on Spotify.
I highly recommend this series without hesitation.

A series well worth watching again without hesitation.
This series is truly on a whole different level compared to most of the shows I've watched. Let's start with the historical period it portrays. As a European, I wasn't very familiar with Thailand's history, and this series taught me a lot. The costumes and the music were my absolute favorite aspects. I love this era, and the show really makes you feel transported back to the 1970s.Even though it's been several months since I watched this series for the first time, the soundtrack remains one of my all-time favorites. I can't even count how many times I've listened to Hold Your Hands :-)
And of course, the actors are outstanding. Mile and Apo are truly extraordinary—two mature actors who perform with such naturalness and talent. The SonEuro couple was also a real revelation. Even without a happy ending for them, they undoubtedly left a lasting impression thanks to their incredible performances.
A series well worth watching again without hesitation.
