One of the most worthwhile series I’ve watched recently.

I’ve seen some people criticize the NC scene and use it to judge the entire film. Are you watching the movie or just the NC scene? Do you understand the message the film is trying to convey?

The film begins with an NC scene, then reveals that it was all just a dream of Runch, who is on the verge of divorcing her wife. They seem emotionally distant and even sleep separately.

The dream reflects Runch’s longing to be with her wife. Unfortunately, they can no longer be together the way they used to, which shows how deeply Runch still loves her. Even in her dreams, all she wants is to be close to the woman she loves.

This is a narrative device. The director is subtly portraying the current state of the couple’s marriage, not randomly inserting an NC scene for no reason.

And that NC scene doesn’t need to be overly passionate or explicit. It’s just a dream—nothing more, nothing less.

IT’S NOT REAL. 😔

Definitely a BL

Nice, cute, and funny series, it is not necessarily your typical BL series but BL nonetheless.
Overall I can recommend it as more of a relaxing kind of series to watch without thinking much. I personally enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. It is not perfect but still a great BL that in my opinion deserves a second season, but one can only hope.

Things I liked:
1. Toru-kun. I think he grew a lot as a person throughout the series.
2. Cute moments. Seeing Toru turn into a puppy every time Kishi is near him is so funny yet so cute.
3. Kishi wearing the earring Toru gave to him. Hello? The fact that there is people saying that this is not a BL series is just crazy to me. You don't need to be a genius to see everything that is happening.
4. Special episode. It definitely cleared some stuff up, and it was really nice to see them happy together again.

Things I disliked:
1. Cringy and overly exaggerated expressions. Which is not new in Japanese series but not really my cup of tea.

An adult romance - Early impression

2 episodes in and I'm pleasantly surprised.

The drama initially makes it look like a very fast-burn office romance, but what's actually drawing me in is that the attraction seems to be based on competence first. The ML didn't notice the FL because she's pretty; he noticed her because she's ambitious, full of ideas, and genuinely good at her job. The romance is growing out of admiration and respect rather than pure physical attraction.

That makes it feel much more like an adult romance to me. The workplace story is just as important as the romantic one, and so far the two are complementing each other really well.

Interested to see where it goes.

Good....

For a short drama(considering the episodes lenght are between 11 to 19 minutes per episodes) was to the point. No fillers, no dragging. A bit of blood for those who love to see it(like me). All characters did great, but for me shined in delivering emotions the character played by Zhou Yan Chen. The story follows a series of crimes, that at first looks random, yet in a short time all things connected as the police investigated and more bodies appears.
A story about deceiving, manipulation, and a blind man thinking he will serve justice, yet i feel he forgot something... they study acting.
Also, through this cases the ML at last managed to move forward and not get stuck in time after his mentor died.
A short mystery/crime drama good to be binged and even you realise fast who is the murderer, some pieces are lay down at the end for the viewer.
Like it!

Off to a strong start

Really impressed with this show so far. I was a little skeptical about whether Seo In-guk's role might feel a little familiar since he's played a few tsundere types in the past, but my concerns were misplaced. I've rewatched the convenience store encounter at least a dozen times and it still makes me giggle.

Park Ji-hyun is also awesome, as expected. I can't get into highlights without spoilers, but suffice to say she handles both the comedic and emotional moments sublimely. And I love everything about her character's back story.

Really excited to see how this series develops based on the first two episodes...

Além das Aparências: Uma Crítica Leve, mas Profunda, sobre a Educação

Muitas vezes, as produções japonesas são conhecidas por um estilo muito próprio: uma vibe mais intimista, minimalista e "pé no chão", tanto no visual quanto no roteiro. Essa abordagem contrasta diretamente com o espetáculo visual e o melodrama característicos dos K-dramas. Por conta dessa diferença estética e de ritmo, o formato dos J-dramas nem sempre agrada a todos logo de primeira. Entretanto, quem se permite superar o estranhamento inicial descobre que há muita qualidade nessas produções. O maior exemplo disso é o cativante Tatsuku: Um Professor Bonzinho Demais.

À primeira vista, pode parecer um J-drama "simples", mas a obra vai muito além do que as aparências sugerem — um verdadeiro caso de "não julgue o livro pela capa". Embora o ritmo da narrativa possa soar lento para alguns, a verdadeira beleza da série está na profundidade e na carga reflexiva de cada episódio.

De forma incrivelmente leve, o drama aborda temas complexos do universo educacional de crianças e adolescentes. Entre os tópicos discutidos, destacam-se:

- A pressão extrema pelos estudos: A cobrança interna e externa (seja da sociedade ou dos próprios pais) para ser sempre o melhor;

- O bullying mascarado: Situações graves tratadas erroneamente como "apenas uma brincadeira", que deixam marcas emocionais profundas;

- O fim precoce da infância: Crianças que são forçadas a amadurecer antes do tempo, assumindo grandes responsabilidades e preocupações com o futuro, perdendo o direito de simplesmente brincar.

Diante disso, a história traz uma excelente crítica social e coloca os holofotes sobre as escolas alternativas. Ao fugirem do padrão tradicional e adotarem metodologias incomuns, essas instituições propõem uma educação holística, focada na liberdade de aprendizado. Para mim, essa abordagem proporciona um desenvolvimento leve e calmo, essencial para a infância e o início da adolescência — uma fase que já é naturalmente desafiadora.
Essa discussão se torna ainda mais rica por se passar no Japão, um país culturalmente conhecido por levar a educação a sério de uma forma extremamente rígida e exaustiva.

Não vou mentir para vocês: esse drama foi uma verdadeira surpresa. O que me motivou a dar o play inicialmente foi a presença do ator Keita Machida no elenco. Sou completamente apaixonada pelo trabalho dele desde Glass Heart e 10DANCE, e fico genuinamente feliz em vê-lo ganhando destaque em produções da Netflix, trazendo o merecido reconhecimento para os atores japoneses. Quando soube que ele estaria em um projeto com uma proposta mais cozy (aconchegante), não pensei duas vezes em assistir para demonstrar meu apoio. E valeu muito a pena.

No geral, Tatsuku: Um Professor Bonzinho Demais é aquele tipo de drama que chega de fininho e te conquista pelo conteúdo, e não necessariamente pela grande cinematografia.
Se você, assim como eu, gosta de se abrir para narrativas inusitadas e prefere tirar suas próprias conclusões sem julgamentos prévios, este J-drama é uma recomendação certeira. No entanto, fica o aviso: se a sua intenção é apenas encontrar algo frenético para maratonar, talvez essa não seja a melhor escolha. Vá de coração aberto, sem grandes expectativas estéticas, e se deixe levar por uma história acolhedora e cheia de significado.

Além disso, eu recomendaria fortemente este drama para profissionais que trabalham diretamente na área da educação, como psicólogos, pedagogos e professores. É o tipo de conteúdo que vocês precisam assistir, porque ele simplesmente ensina tanto... É uma verdadeira aula de empatia e sensibilidade para o dia a dia com os jovens.

DA VEDERE ASSOLUTAMENTE

Una fantastica sorpresa!! Un thriller emozionante, avvincente, travolgente, sconvolgente, una meraviglia!!!
Sono diversi i colpi di scena, la regia è superlativa e gli attori davvero fenomenali! L'ho guardato perchè ho un'insana passione per Wang Hedi, ma devo dire che sono rimasta affascinata dalla recitazione di tutti i personaggi principali e non solo, una bella sorpresa Pan Yue Ming, la cui recitazione è stata davvero toccante, profonda. Dylan mi è piaciuto molto e ancora di più mi è piaciuto che non abbiano puntato sulla sua bellezza, ma l'hanno reso "normale" pulito senza chili di trucco che lo rendono lucido e brillante , è riuscito a rendere benissimo il personaggio impacciato, ma tenace nel voler a tutti i costi risolvere il caso. Come già scritto in altre recensioni il dramma si svolge su tre piani temporali 1997, 2002 e 2015, è magistrale il modo in cui si passa da un periodo all'altro in modo quasi naturale un entrare e uscire continuo da un periodo all'altro: pazzesco.
Sono diversi i colpi di scena e le emozioni in questo drama , si ride, si riflette e ci si commuove tantissimo!

This happens when you want an absolute happy ending; everything becomes too predictable.

When I first started this drama, I really could not understand why the ratings were so low. The tension was SO good, and this is coming from a person who dislikes enemies to lovers troop. There was always something that kept me on edge. However, after episode 20, everything went downhill fast. It felt like the story just reset. All the tension went down the drain. No matter what danger came, every ending to them was predictable. They even started to explain the slightest plans as if the viewers were dumb. Every character that came after episode 20 were so simple-minded. Their tricks were all so boring. I rather liked the times when they were lowkey enemies, plotting against each other.
The fourth prince's love line was the most unconvincing thing I've ever seen. For a drama that aims for strict politic. They let her bypass A LOT of rules. The ML also become a blind to everything for her sister's requests and discloses everything to her when her mouth is so loose and she herself is short-sighted.
The sound effects were quite comedic at times. It really went against the tone of the drama.
Such a shame for I was crazy for the first 20 episodes of this drama. I continued to the end to see them together but it wasn't very rewarding.

Jekyll and Hyde on the Roll

After witnessing tons of awful histrionics from "Dazzling", I hope I'd never touch youth idol dramas anymore, except for the fact that I can't resist eye-candy. So, thank goodness, iQIYI immediately aired "Archives: The Nanyang Mystery", which happens to be on my waiting list. I was so excited when the release date was announced that I began bouncing back and forth due to irrepressible thrill. FYI, "Archives: The Nanyang Mystery" is a spin-off or compilation story from "The Grave Robbers' Chronicle" by Kennedy Xu, which has been a popular IP and adapted into different dramas and films until today. The latest are "Time Raiders" and "Adventure behind the Bronze Door" though.

Set within the world of "The Lost Tomb", this story follows two orphaned boys, Zhang Hailou and Zhang Haixia, who are adopted and trained by the secretive Zhang Family. Under the strict guidance of their mentor, Zhang Haiqi, they grow into skilled agents tasked with protecting the family's legacy. Their first major mission takes them to Nanyang, where they investigate a series of supernatural incidents involving mysterious shrines, strange deaths, and legends surrounding an "Evil God." What begins as a routine assignment gradually expands into a decades-long struggle involving secret organizations, political conspiracies, deadly biological threats, and ancient mysteries hidden beneath forgotten cities. As the years pass, Hailou and Haixia establish themselves as investigators while confronting increasingly dangerous cases tied to a mysterious plant known as Twilight Grass. Their missions expose them to warlords, underground factions, hidden archives, and powerful enemies seeking to exploit ancient forces for their own gain. Along the way, friendships are tested, loyalties are questioned, and the bond between the two adopted brothers faces its greatest challenges. As they search for answers, they uncover clues connected to an ancient civilization, bizarre creatures, forgotten ruins, and secrets that may explain the origin of many unexplained phenomena that have haunted the region for generations. At its heart, however, the story is less about monsters and mysteries and more about brotherhood. It explores the relationship between Hailou and Haixia as they struggle with duty, identity, sacrifice, and the question of how far one person should go to save someone they love like family. Framed as a tale recounted by Wu Xie, the drama serves as both an adventure-filled prequel and an emotional character study, expanding the lore of the Zhang Family while shedding light on one of the most enigmatic clans in the world of "The Lost Tomb".

As expected of Kennedy Xu's story, we'll get to see high-stake missions and adventures, mystical Chinese folk tales, the essence of brotherhood and friendship, and lastly, the good and bad side of humanity. Every episode will bring out the deepest emotion out of yourselves - when they are happy, you are happy, and vice versa (you'll never know what will happen in the next episodes). Guessing game isn't an ideal method to predict the plot, as Kennedy Xu has turned the tables and keeps Haixia alive (Haixia is supposed to have die in the ship and never survives). I particularly feel the pain and regret of Hailou as he realizes his greatest mistake and is willing to repent by obtaining those herbs in dangerous circumstances and limited time (Haixia doesn't have much time to hold on any longer). Meanwhile, a lot of people are bashing Zhang Haiqi for being a cruel and apathetic shifu, but I'm on the opposite side of the public. Why so? Haiqi is probably crushed after the deaths of her many comrades. She's not done grieving and must pull herself together to venture deeper into the enemy's lair, while having to berating Hailou for making such a lousy mistake. As she had previously mentioned to Hailou, only he himself can control his life and he should be grateful for having Haixia as his partner, because nobody will take care of him in this cruel world. My civics teacher also reminded us of this philosophy, and maybe that's why it strikes harder for me than anyone else.

The acting is truly phenomenal especially our dear Salty and Shrimpie. I've never been a fan of Steven Zhang, but he truly nails Zhang Hailou's character and blends himself seamlessly into the fiction, while maintaining his humorous side which is only shown to his loved ones. Ryan Ding isn't an exception too, as he also portrays Haixia as a deeply conflicted man who must decide between his fate and his wistful desire of staying together with Hailou and shifu - and his smooth transition between the calm and psycho version too (he reminds me of Kaz Brekker from "Six of Crows" and "Crooked Kingdom" if you're into Grishaverse. Also, kudos to Jiang Peiyao for being a strict yet secretly caring shifu. I don't care whatever they want to say about her, but she aptly captures Haiqi's essence of a badass 100-yo girlie. Meanwhile, I also want to praise Li Huan, who plays our cranky accountant He Jianxi, for creating such a hilarious ruckus that I can't get over with. Special mention to Zhang Chenxiao and Liu Lingzi as the unexpected couple of the drama - the unlikely pair of a gullible little Taoist and a badass yet streetwise bandit leader really hits me hard. Well, a lot of people have been calling names due to a certain scene they consider as rape/sexual assault rather than a comedy one. I don't think much about it, but all I can say is that I wasn't that uncomfortable and even had a good laugh about it. As for the entire casts, they've also done well and I think I can't ask for more (that will be selfish of me, don't you feel?).

OSTs are heart-wrenching as well, especially the ones by Kang Ziqi and Steven Zhang. Duan Aojuan's song isn't as cringy as the one in "Dazzling" anymore, but I don't think I'll download it on my phone. Liu Yuning's needs more listening. And I have a particular fondness of the rap song by Wang Shuye and Weng Yiming, though plagued by the short duration. Backgrounds, settings, CGI, costumes are crafted spectacularly and bring about the vibes of the republican era. Usually, I can't stand this period, but this time, for the sake of the leads and compelling story, I'm trying my best to stay in this ship until the end.

Overall, it's a very good watch and as usual, a ten out of ten from me. If you're into intricately woven story, heartfelt family bond, or perhaps tired of the usual idol romance cliche, then this drama may be made for you. However, beware that you need to follow the story carefully as the plot unfolds, otherwise you're going to be left in the circle of confusion and bewilderment as to how this and that event can happen. That's all for my review, thank you for reading my positive rant. Good luck and happy watching!!! See you again in another lifetime, my Salty and Shrimpie!!! I love you!!!

A Supernatural Masterpiece That Had Me Laughing, Crying, and Cheering From Start to Finish

Wow. I just finished all 16 episodes of Phantom Lawyer, and without a doubt, this is one of the best K dramas I have ever watched. From the very first episode to the last, it delivered an incredibly refreshing and unique story that kept me completely invested.

What I loved most was how brilliantly the supernatural elements were blended with mystery, law, comedy, and emotional storytelling. The ghost cases were not only fascinating but also deeply touching. Every one of the seven ghost stories carried so much heart and emotion that I found myself crying more times than I expected. This drama knows exactly how to balance humor, suspense, heartbreak, and healing.

The cast was absolutely phenomenal. Yeon Seok was outstanding as I Rang. His performance was on another level, especially during the possession scenes. Watching him completely transform into different personalities, whether it was a child, a dancer, or a skilled fighter, was incredible. His versatility and talent were on full display throughout the entire series.

Han Na Hyeon was also a fantastic female lead, and I loved the partnership between her and I Rang. Their chemistry, trust, and growth made their relationship one of the strongest aspects of the drama. The supporting cast deserves just as much praise. From I Rang's mother and sister to his adorable niece, every family member added warmth and charm to the story.

Phantom Lawyer has everything I look for in a drama: mystery, comedy, law, supernatural elements, heartfelt stories, emotional depth, ghostly encounters, spirit possession, and even a touch of romance. It is heartwarming, entertaining, and unforgettable all at the same time.

This is a rare drama that made me laugh out loud, cry my eyes out, and stay emotionally invested in every single case. A perfect 10/10 from me. I will definitely be rewatching this masterpiece in the future.

One of the most complete and satisfying K dramas I have ever watched.

Magic Move (ทำนายทายรัก)8/10

Magic Move (ทำนายทายรัก) เป็นซีรีส์ BL แนวโรแมนติกที่บอกเล่าเรื่องราวของ "ฤทธิ์" นักศึกษาหนุ่มผู้ทำงานเป็นหมอดูในร้าน Magic Move โดยใช้ "หินรูน" ในการทำนายดวงชะตา ด้วยความแม่นยำในการทำนาย ทำให้เขากลายเป็นที่รู้จักและได้รับความนิยมจากลูกค้ามากมาย
วันหนึ่งโชคชะตานำพาให้เขาได้พบกับ "อิทธิ" ชายหนุ่มที่เข้ามาใช้บริการดูดวงเพื่อตามหาเพื่อนสมัยเด็กที่เขาไม่เคยลืมเลือน เมื่อฤทธิ์ได้พบกับอิทธิ เขากลับเกิดความรู้สึกดี ๆ ขึ้นตั้งแต่แรกพบ และตัดสินใจสวมรอยเป็นเพื่อนวัยเด็กคนนั้นของอิทธิ การทำนายเพียงครั้งเดียวจึงกลายเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของเรื่องราวความรัก ความลับ และการค้นหาความจริงที่ตามมา
สามารถรับชมได้ทาง IQIYI และ YouTube ช่อง Moonlight Glow
สำหรับผม เป็นซีรีส์ที่ติดตามมาตั้งแต่ปล่อย Official Pilot ทาง YouTube ของ Moonlight Glow และเมื่อได้ดูเวอร์ชันเต็มก็รู้สึกว่าซีรีส์ทำออกมาได้น่าสนใจไม่แพ้ที่คาดหวังไว้
สิ่งที่ชอบมากคือการเล่าเรื่องที่ค่อยเป็นค่อยไป มีเหตุมีผล และเปิดโอกาสให้ผู้ชมได้ค่อย ๆ ทำความรู้จักตัวละครและพัฒนาการของความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างพวกเขา นอกจากนี้ การนำเรื่องความเชื่อ การทำนายดวง และหินรูนมาผูกเข้ากับเนื้อเรื่องก็ถือเป็นจุดเด่นที่ช่วยสร้างความแตกต่างจากซีรีส์ BL ทั่วไป ทำให้เรื่องราวมีความแปลกใหม่และน่าติดตามมากขึ้น
ในด้านการแสดง นักแสดงทุกคนมีเสน่ห์และสามารถถ่ายทอดบทบาทของตัวเองออกมาได้ดี ทำให้ผู้ชมเชื่อในความรู้สึกและความสัมพันธ์ของตัวละคร อย่างไรก็ตาม มีบางฉากที่ส่วนตัวผมรู้สึกว่าการแสดงหรือบทสนทนาอาจยังดูไม่เป็นธรรมชาติเท่าที่ควร แต่ก็เป็นเพียงส่วนน้อยและไม่ได้ส่งผลต่อความสนุกของเรื่องมากนัก
สำหรับงานโปรดักชัน ผมมองว่าทำออกมาได้ดี ทั้งการเลือกมุมกล้อง การจัดแสง และการจัดองค์ประกอบภาพในแต่ละฉาก ภาพรวมออกมาสวยงามและช่วยส่งเสริมบรรยากาศของเรื่องได้เป็นอย่างดี
อีกหนึ่งจุดที่ผมประทับใจคือฉากความสัมพันธ์ของตัวละคร ซึ่งถ่ายทอดออกมาได้อย่างสวยงาม มีทั้งความโรแมนติกและความเซ็กซี่ในระดับที่พอดี การใช้แสง สี และมุมกล้องช่วยเพิ่มเสน่ห์ให้กับฉากเหล่านี้ได้อย่างมาก โดยไม่ทำให้รู้สึกมากจนเกินความจำเป็น
โดยรวมแล้ว Magic Move (ทำนายทายรัก) เป็นซีรีส์ BL ที่มีแนวคิดน่าสนใจ มีเอกลักษณ์จากการนำเรื่องการทำนายดวงและความเชื่อมาผสมผสานกับเรื่องราวความรักได้อย่างลงตัว ทั้งเนื้อเรื่อง การแสดง และงานภาพล้วนทำออกมาได้ดี จึงเป็นอีกหนึ่งเรื่องที่ผมอยากแนะนำให้แฟนซีรีส์ BL ได้ลองรับชม
⭐ คะแนนรวม : 8/10

All Sugar, No Soul

I’m not the target audience for this kind of fantasy, especially in a Republican-era setting. However, a good plot and strong acting can win me over for any genre. I came into this with fresh eyes, knowing nothing about the Daomu Biji universe, and was drawn in by the visuals of Ding Yuxi in uniform and the promise of a compelling partnership. What I found was a production of immense effort that ultimately left me feeling completely disengaged.

From the very first episode, the drama throws you into the deep end with no introduction. It’s a constant barrage of fights—well-choreographed fights, yes—but it’s all action with no anchor. The story doesn't give you a moment to understand the world, the history of the Zhang family, or who these characters are. It's like walking into a movie halfway through, and the film never bothers to catch you up. The narrative just crams information and events into a frantic, non-stop pace before you even know what you’re looking at.

The core of a story like this, especially one tagged with "bromance," must be the relationship. The most successful examples, from Guardian to The Untamed to Word of Honor, all took extensive time to introduce characters individually, building their relationship from suspicion or rivalry into an unbreakable bond. They earned the audience's emotional investment. This drama does the opposite. The two male leads are immediately a "perfectly oiled team," bantering in life-threatening situations with overly dramatic slow-motion shots. It feels like the production is trying to force-feed us sugar instead of crafting a genuine connection. The chemistry between the actors, Ding Yuxi and Zhang Xincheng, doesn’t shine, not because they lack effort—their physical dedication to the fight sequences is clear—but because the storytelling treats them as a commodity to be sold, not characters to be developed. The result is a sense that the narrative has the eagerness of a brothel owner, pushing forward the prettiest faces without a shred of integrity for the story.

This lack of grounding makes the entire viewing experience a hollow one. The plot is a jumble of scary case beginnings that end sloppily, with reasoning based entirely on dialogue and loopholes easily glossed over. The gloomy, mystical Nanyang atmosphere is completely lost, smoothed over by filters that blur facial features into a soft, generic handsomeness. There's no realism; the characters’ flawless hair and makeup remain perfect in deep-sea dives and dangerous caves. It investigates a case like it’s a fashion show, making the whole production feel like an assembly-line routine, piled with popular templates.

Ultimately, I feel bad for the actors. They clearly poured a lot of physical effort into the demanding, non-stop action sequences, but the opportunity was wasted. The script fails them, the direction fails them, and even their specific pairing, while featuring two good-looking leads, lacks the contrasting "puzzle-piece" fit that makes for an entrancing on-screen couple. The result is a pretty production with pretty people, but a story and characters I simply couldn't bring myself to care about. It’s a drama where you watch a lot of busy, noisy people jumping around and doing things, and you just sit on the side, feeling completely unattached to anything happening on the screen. The most genuine feeling it evoked was a deep sense of regret for Zhang Haixia’s fate—a character punished for something that wasn't his wish, a consequence of a plot that never cared to make his struggles truly resonate.

Veramente carino e simpatico, peccato poi l'abbiano voluto rendere serio verso la fine

Questo drama all'inizio mi è piaciuto davvero tanto molto più di A dream within a dream perchè in questo caso le scene ironiche erano veramente ironiche e carine, e soprattutto i protagonisti sia lui che lei erano entrambi trasmigrati, quindi erano entrambi consapevoli di essere in un romanzo, poi si fidano subito l'un l'altra e questo non cambia mai durante tutto il drama e si piacciono pure quasi subito, e anche questo non cambia mai. Cosa molto positiva per me. quello che cambia circa a metà drama è il suo tono purtroppo che diventa troppo serio. Da Salviamoci la vita in ogni modo possibile, il tema diventa improvvisamente Salviamo il regno e la povera gente. Cosa molto nobile se non fosse che sono in un romanzo. E poi mi fanno morire inutilmente un botto di personaggi forse sempre per accrescere il tono drammatico e tu ti chiedi ma non stavamo facendo parodia qui? Il finale non delude tutto finisce bene, ma se il tono fosse rimasto leggero per tutte le puntate sarebbe stato molto meglio. non guasta che i protagonisti siano anche molto belli e abbigliati sempre molto bene.

Short and Sweet

This movie is a short film that’s around 40 minutes. It shows the struggles of two women getting married when their families aren’t understanding of their love. I thought the story was a simple yet powerful. Many struggles of how two women get married are mentioned and discussed. Each family had their own reasons to be against the marriage. Each character had their own neuaces and no characters was good or bad. All the actors did a great job in their roles. Highly recommended watching it.
