A true masterpiece!

I know I'm late, but not because this is my first watch but this is actually the 3rd rewatch of this masterpiece named Moving. i wrote a similar review on other websites and this my first review on this platform.
Well, if you're planning to watch Moving and you're kinda stuck on whether you do it or not, you're missing a lot.
I started Moving back when it was airing and when i finished it and watched other series, i felt like only few that came up close or at the same level as this series, and not only that, but this is one of the few series that i gave a 10/10 rating. (you can see on my page).
So, for the story, it was great.
It started slow though, back when i was watching i had a weird feeling that I'm watching a melodrama series, no action, no anything but when i gave it sometime, it got better and better.
This is a story about superheroes, it shouldn't be this deep, right? but Moving is full of drama and emotional stories. The backstories of characters are just exceptional, you'll find yourself empathising even with villains, something as i said, you don't usually see in superheroes movies or dramas.
For acting, it was just as great. I mean, just look at the cast, no need to say more.
The music, the fights, the production were all top-tier stuff as well.
So, when it's all set and done, a 10/10 is really well deserving.

i just hope that Season 2, which i don't when will it come, be this good and come quick as well lol.

Drama: ***YOUR SKY*** (uncut)
personal rating 08/10
Incredible Talented Casting

OMG.. I'm so happy that I didn't pass this drama up. I would have never found it or considered it if it wasn't for me looking up the main lead in ***Duang with You*** Por Suppakarn Jirachotikul.
This drama is the sweetest drama.. Loving the powerful character sister of Teerak. She's definitely a good role model. Especially when guiding Teerak in his relationship with Fah. (Going to look up more dramas that this young actress is in, she's excellent.)
Shipping pairs... Teerak & Fah, I admit was skeptical, but as the storyline continued.. I can see their relationship starting to mold. The way Teerak found a special way for him and Fah to start off getting to know about each other ... Excellent choice. They fit with personality & allowing their differences to make them stronger as a couple.
It also focuses on the growth of honesty & how keeping true feelings locked up can be more detrimental to your growth as an individual & not allowing others who care about you to move forward... especially in an unrequited affection.
At the end of the day... let me just recommend that you watch this drama.
If someone were to ask me ... what was your favorite scene in the whole drama:
Hands Down.. It's toward the very beginning (without spoiling it) is when Fah kissed drunk Teerak on the head. Well, it was more of a nose bump... LOL!!!

Esperei, esperei e até agora ...Nada!!!

Como eu esperei esse BL....Eu estava com muitas saudades do Net, + sinceramente tá osso de aturar essa história, + fria do que morna. O casal secundário dando um banho, e talvez o final deles ñ seja lá muito bom... Até os empregados, o dono da taberna e feiticeiro estão muito bons.
A história do Net e JJ ñ desenvolve, fica so nas expressões faciais do Net, que infelizmente ñ tem quase falas e o JJ sem sal e açucar Sad Mad confused confused confused
Que pena, uma história que poderia ter sido desenvolvida de outra forma, pq tem enrredo. so que esta sendo infinitamente mal conduzido.
E olha que eu amooooooooodepaixão histórias de época.

Sometimes it feels like I watched a different show...

You ever feel that way? You see all the hype and love for a show and then when you watch it, and you feel like you watched a completely different series. Here's my take on it.

I was in it for the vibes of 80's gangster craziness, especially when they brought out those brick cell phones and suit jackets with shoulder pads, that completely disappeared by episode 5. But by episode 5 I'm was in it for the long haul. Which to me, impacted my liking of the main couple and show overall. As a montage 80's style gangster movie, it wasn't so ridiculous to think the ML could be a secretly kindhearted individual, but going into drama mode with a more serious tone made the love story clash with the plot(s) because there's no freaking way a leader of a Triad would be that way in a more drama focused story telling.

I don't understand the hype this couple has based on all the comments also. The slow burn romance is a bit too slow burn and nothing really happens until closer to the end of episode 8, but that's also because the ML's really don't interact alone together through most of the show. The ML's really needed more one on one time to build a deeper relationship to make it feel more reasonable why episode 9 happened the way it did. That's not to say they didn't have good chemistry, their interactions felt fluid and natural, not forced or uncomfortable at all. But I wouldn't say it was butterflies in my stomach or sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation of them being on screen together levels. If you want some good anticipation and amazing chemistry between two characters, go watch To My Shore, it won't disappoint but it is dark as hell.

I actually liked what everyone else seems to dislike, the introduction of the police as the next plot point. I felt like this was better for the overall story then the continued gang conflict that really wasn't working any more for the change in tone. Story progress picked up at episode 8, which is what made the ending of episode 9 so jarring. The twist, in my opinion, really wasn't much of a twist.

Overall if you enjoy watching absolute craziness that tapers off into a slow burn romance drama, this is probably a great show for you. But if you are looking for that craziness all the way through, sorry but this show will disappoint. I don't think this was a terrible show and I enjoyed every second of it for it's intention and ambition, but I definitely don't agree with the majority of reviews this show has gotten.

Engraçado e emocionante

Termjnei o último episódio meio que as lágrimas… que dorama bom galera!
E um dorama que te prende desde o começo até o último episódio pq mistura muito bem comédia, drama e histórias emocionantes. A cada episódio, a trama fica mais envolvente e você começa a se apegar aos casos e aos personagens, principalmente porque cada história traz algo diferente: algumas são leves e engraçadas, outras são bem tristes e até revoltantes.
O que mais gostei foi que o dorama consegue ser divertido e emocionante ao mesmo tempo, sem ficar cansativo. Ele aborda situações humanas, injustiças e dores que muitas pessoas passam, mas sempre com aquele toque de humor e esperança que deixa tudo mais gostoso de acompanhar.
Além disso, o ritmo é ótimo: não tem enrolação. Quando você percebe, já está querendo assistir mais um episódio..
No geral, é um dorama muito bom, bem construído e perfeito pra quem gosta de uma história que faz rir, mas também faz pensar e até chorar.
Vale muitooo a pena assistir
10000/10 ✨✨✨

Immersive well-acted Melodrama Romance

An athmosperic stunning Enemies-to-lovers Romance, but not for everyone. (People who dislike sad plots stay away!).

Male lead who has revenge vendetta against Female lead...but despite this, both can't help but be drawn to each other.

The acting really stands out, especially Shin Min Ah's performance was unbeliavbly raw and real. Rain did fantastic as well as the downthrodden revenging cold lead who falls for his enemy.

Beautifully directed, which increases immersion...
The OST is one of the best Kdrama OSTs I've heard, which increases immersion further.

The Atmosphere and music of the drama remains with me now still YEARS LATER.

Flower Boy, it pleases my literary atavisms.

Flowers Boy contains elements that please my atavistic tastes in literature: the encounter between civilization and barbarism (although someone from the city isn't exactly civilized), the myth of the noble savage (who trades gold for glass beads), and, of course, the instinctive attraction of scent (for some reason they don't describe it as pheromones 🤔). The actors are on par with their previous work, Love in the Moonlight, although they distance themselves from the character of their former roles. If they maintain the pace and consistency of the plot twists, I think it will be one of those series that you'll want to rewatch. Incidentally, we'll have to see how Scent redeems itself from the damage it's been doing.

Phantom Lawyer
Favorite Characters: Shin I Rang, Han Na Hyeon, Yon Bong Su
Best episode: 4/16

Phantom Lawyer is a very versatile drama that keeps you hooked with thrilling mysteries, very good comedy but also plenty of very beautiful emotional moments. The acting was top notch and the writing was actually amazing. It’s crazy how fast these eight weeks passed, I’ve enjoyed this drama so much!

I’m so happy that the leads finally made out at the end, it only took almost sixteen episodes hehe. It was really nice to see I Rang clear his father’s name and learn more about his father but also other ghosts. I feel like I really got to see how different lives you can have.

Could have been better: There were a lot of unanswered questions at the end. Here’s a list of what I wonder right now:

What happened to Yang Do Gyeong, I would have liked to know more about his ending.
Why was the priest needed when burning all talismans except for the one in the last episode? Also did he not have anything else to do instead of just hanging out with I Rang and his brother-in-law all the time?
How did Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyeon earn money when their only clients were ghosts?
The most important question - how did Shin I Rang come back to life? I know that this is fantasy but is has to make sense in some way you know?
Was there only one prosecutor working all the time? Like I don’t see no problem with Kim Hyeon U but it’s a bit concerning if there’s nobody else working. Sorry I’m being annoying.
How did I Rang’s family just accept that his father had possessed him in the last episode without questioning anything? But then they’re probably a lot more superstitious than me. And of course they miss their beloved family member too.

Favorite Characters: Shin I Rang, Han Na Hyeon, Yon Bong Su
Best episode: Episode 4

A sort of guilty pleasure watch

I will keep this review quite brief.

First of all the plot, like what is this? XD It feels like something a younger person would write and publish on wattpad. Some of the things that happen is very questionable and if it was real life, I would suggest that the female lead run in the opposite direction. Now if you enjoy absurd plots with questionable romance you might enjoy this to a degree. Given that there are so few episodes, it's like watching a movie and then its over.

Acting wise, well no awards will be given that's for sure. But Deng Kai and Zhang Chuhan does a good enough job in their characters that it feels like they fit with this very absurd plot.

Will I rewatch this at some point? No, both leads have better dramas that are more worth your time.

Preliminari narrativi che non arrivano al PUNTO.

Voto reale: 6,7

C’è una differenza sostanziale tra un film che racconta una storia attraverso la danza e un film che usa la danza come superficie estetica per mascherare i vuoti di scrittura. 10 Dance pur partendo da un argomento potenzialmente magnetico : la danza , con due rivali costretti a contaminarsi tecnicamente ed emotivamente – sceglie quasi sempre il ballo per fare scena, non per raccontare nel profondo. Il risultato è un’opera gradevole da guardare ma narrativamente irrisolta, spesso artificiosa, incapace di trasformare la promessa iniziale in una vera progressione drammatica.

Il problema principale è strutturale: la sceneggiatura procede per nuclei di tensione slegati, per dialoghi pensati a effetto, per silenzi gravidi di intenzione che tuttavia non sono sostenuti da un adeguato sviluppo dei personaggi. Si ha di continuo la sensazione che il film voglia sorprendere o sedurre lo spettatore sul momento, senza però costruire i passaggi necessari perché quella sorpresa abbia peso. Molte battute suonano come dichiarazioni solenni sospese nel vuoto: frasi enfatiche, cariche di sottotesto, che pretendono densità emotiva prima ancora che il rapporto fra i protagonisti l’abbia realmente guadagnata.

La relazione centrale, infatti, è il nodo più debole dell’intera storia.
L’ossessione del ballerino latino nasce e cresce in modo sbrigativo: si passa da sguardi ostili, da una rivalità quasi rabbiosa, a un coinvolgimento morboso senza che il film si prenda il tempo di mostrarne il processo interno. Manca attrito narrativo, manca gradualità, manca soprattutto la materia quotidiana della vicinanza. Non assistiamo a due uomini che lentamente si spostano l’uno nel territorio emotivo dell’altro; assistiamo piuttosto a una sceneggiatura che decide che debbano desiderarsi e accelera meccanicamente in quella direzione.

Questo rende ancora più problematico il modo in cui viene rappresentato il sentimento, più che tormentato, appare tossico e confuso, privo di una reale intellegibilità psicologica. L’amore qui non nasce da una necessità interiore riconoscibile, ma da una somma di "posture drammatiche". Il triangolo sentimentale, poi, è di una banalità da Bmovie e viene utilizzato come espediente di gelosia senza aggiungere profondità né conflitto autentico.

Anche i protagonisti, pur interpretati da due attori fisicamente credibili, tutto sommato, restano sorprendentemente incompiuti. Il campione di valzer e standard avrebbe dovuto incarnare l’algidità elegante del controllo e della disciplina; finisce invece per sembrare soprattutto un uomo contratto, rigido, emotivamente coartato, ma senza che il film ne indaghi davvero la complessità. Tanta sofferenza suggerita, tanti traumi allusi, moltissimi blocchi disseminati lungo il racconto: pochissimo, però, viene veramente elaborato. È un personaggio che accumula segni di disagio più che trasformarsi in una personalità tridimensionale.

Sul fronte tecnico, e qui il giudizio diventa ancora più severo, un film che fa della danza il proprio motore non può permettersi un livello coreutico soltanto discreto. Nel cast compare persino Pasquale La Rocca, scelta che dimostra la volontà produttiva di ancorare il film a una certa autorevolezza del settore.
Eppure questa autorevolezza resta periferica, quasi ornamentale. Le sequenze di ballo, per chi conosce davvero la danza sportiva, mostrano limiti evidenti: linee non sempre pulite, dinamiche non memorabili, conduzione scenica più recitata che danzata. In più occasioni sarebbe stato opportuno ricorrere a controfigure di alto livello, perché la macchina da presa insiste su una bravura che gli interpreti non possiedono fino in fondo. Per un film intitolato 10 Dance è un problema identitario.

Ancora più discutibile è la gestione della sensualità coreografica. La celebre scena del tango, con l’insistenza su piegamenti e allusioni pelviche, vorrebbe essere trasgressiva ma scivola spesso nel gratuito. Non c’è vera tensione erotica costruita attraverso il movimento; c’è piuttosto un ammiccamento vistoso, quasi volgare, che sostituisce la sottigliezza con l’allusione sbattuta in faccia.

Le interpretazioni seguono la stessa traiettoria altalenante: discrete, talvolta intense, ma raramente naturali. In diversi momenti i due protagonisti sembrano “recitare il tormento” più che viverlo, caricando sguardi e pause fino a una certa artificiosità. L’alchimia esiste a sprazzi, soprattutto in alcune scene più raccolte ( funziona ad esempio il suggestivo bacio danzato sul treno ma non basta a colmare il senso di incompiutezza generale).

Va riconosciuto che scenografia, fotografia e colonna sonora mantengono una dignità costante, e che l’idea simbolica del guidare un partner ferito, diventare il cavaliere di chi nel movimento prova dolore, è forse l’intuizione più bella e più matura del film. Ma anche qui si torna allo stesso punto: intuizioni incompiute, lasciate lì, senza sviluppo o approfondimento.

Il finale conferma il difetto di fondo. Dopo oltre due ore di accumulo intermittente, la risoluzione viene compressa in pochi minuti e affidata a un’apertura romanzesca che sa quasi di fantasy sentimentale più che di conclusione drammatica. Numerosi critici hanno parlato infatti di film “visivamente seducente ma narrativamente incompleto” e di un finale che sembra promettere un seguito non guadagnato dal racconto.

Non è il capolavoro passionale che una parte del pubblico ha voluto vedere, trascinata più dall’estetica dei protagonisti e da qualche bacio ben fotografato che da una reale qualità cinematografica. È un film con un buon confezionamento, una premessa fortissima e una resa decisamente inferiore alle sue ambizioni. Chi gli assegna voti da eccellenza probabilmente si è lasciato sedurre dal BL patinato; chi cerca invece un vero film sulla danza o una vera costruzione romantica resterà con la netta sensazione di aver visto un lungo preliminare narrativo che non arriva mai al punto.

De bonnes idées… mais zéro attachement...

Franchement, "Love Phobia" part sur une idée assez intéressante 😏

On suit une femme qui a complètement coupé les ponts avec les émotions, au point de préférer créer des relations “parfaites” à travers une application basée sur l’intelligence artificielle 🤖💔. Pour elle, l’amour réel, c’est compliqué, imprévisible… et surtout dangereux.

À côté de ça, on a un écrivain de romances, quelqu’un qui croit encore aux sentiments… mais qui traîne lui aussi ses propres blessures 🥺

Et derrière cette rencontre, on sent qu’il y a pas mal de choses à découvrir, entre les traumas du passé, les secrets… 👀

Franchement, en avançant dans l'histoire, j’ai eu un ressenti assez mitigé… 😬

Le drama est clairement trop court pour tout ce qu’il essaie de raconter. En 8 épisodes de moins d’une heure, ils ont voulu caser un peu tout ce qu’on retrouve dans les dramas : romance, jalousie, drame, passé commun, traumas… sauf que du coup, tout donne l’impression d’être survolé 😕

Et c’est vraiment dommage, parce que ça m’a empêchée de m’attacher aux personnages… J’ai eu du mal à vraiment ressentir quelque chose pour eux, que ce soit dans la romance ou dans les enjeux en général 🫠

Pourtant, il y a des points positifs. J’ai trouvé que Yun Bi Ha (Yeonwoo) et Han Seon Ho (Kim Hyun Jin) allaient bien ensemble, leur alchimie fonctionne plutôt bien 🫶🏻✨. Mais encore une fois, comme tout va trop vite, je n’ai pas eu le temps de m’investir émotionnellement 😅

Même les personnages secondaires manquent de profondeur… Par exemple, le comportement de Seol Jae Hui m’a laissée perplexe... 🤨 Sa jalousie et son côté mesquin manquent d’explication, du moins ça arrive trop tard... ce qui rend son rôle un peu difficile à comprendre 😬

Au final, ce n’est pas juste la romance qui manque d’impact… c’est l’ensemble du drama 😕... On sent qu’il y avait de bonnes idées à la base, mais le manque de développement empêche vraiment le tout de prendre.

Avec plus d’épisodes et un traitement plus approfondi, ça aurait clairement pu être un drama sympa… mais là en l’état, je l’ai trouvé très superficiel ✌🏻

PARK KYEONG-NAM!!!!

Damn, man, Park Kyeong-Nam is incredible.
This character is what got me hyped to continue watching the drama.
I mean, he’s caring, patient, gentle, lools like a needy little puppy... He’s amazing.
Honestly, what made me fall even more for him was his POV. Seeing how he saw and felt about Mi-rae was so beautiful.
And guys, that line where he said "before, it were just coincidences", but then, he started wanting more of those coincidences 🥹 AUGHHH it was so cute.
Seriously, he’s *the best* male lead out of all the dramas I’ve watched. You could feel how much he wanted her, loved her, even if he didn’t show it at first.
I think the drama is worth it, mainly because of him.

But now focusing on the bad parts.
I felt like Mi-rae was very…weird.
I get that she went through trauma, but the fact that, somehow, she thought she was the only one getting that kind of princess treatment from Eun-Ho (WHO IS AN AI!!!) was really nonsenseless.
I mean, how could she think like that? Such a famous “game” and she’d be the only one to have him saying sweet things in her ear?

Also, i thought it was creepy how she used Gu Yeong-il as a “therapist” lol.
Like, her logging in to talk to him even after everything that Kyeong-Nam saw was really stupid.
But even so, Kyeong-nam was able to understand her (lol i would be like, "girl, go seek real therapy, then we talk").
Oh, i almost forgot: WHY Kyeong-nam had so little screen time? I mean, i think that they could've chosen between Eun-Cho or Choi-Siwoo as Mi-rae's virtual boyfriend, like this, the story could had a "love triangle" (not really a love triangle as the AI boyfriends are not even real, LOL) and Kyeong-nam could've had more screen time and development with Mi-rae, instead of being replaced by so many AI boyfriends


Furthermore, I also felt like the developments of Mi-Rae's friend and the Webtoon artist of "The Man to Know" could’ve been so much better.
They both started off as really striking and fun characters, but towards the end they were kinda pushed aside.
They could’ve developed them and their love lives more


But overall, the actors did really well and I really liked watching Jisoo's acting. (It was my first time seeing her acting!). Her character was fun, but what caught my attention the most was Seo In-guk’s character man 😭.
OH AND IT WAS REALLY FUN SEEING SO MANY ACTORS I KNOW IN THE SAME DRAMA LOL (but i got so sad that Lee So-Hyuk was only a guest actor 💔)
And the soundtracks are really good! Definitely adding them to my playlist

mitigé

il se pourrai qu’il y ai quelques spoilers, car autrement je sais pas si je donnerai un avis parfait

tout d’abord, au tout début J’AIMAIS TROP, je trouvais ça intéressant mais leur soi-disant enemies to lovers a durer quelques épisodes de rien du tout mais bon c’était bien quand même.

ensuite vers les épisodes 10-25 j’ai trouvé ça TROP long, « répétitif », inintéressant, etc…

puis l’histoire de la soeur du ML OMGGG, J’AI TROP KIFFÉ, c’est son histoire à elle qui a boosté le drama, la vérité j’ai trop kiffée son moment carrément j’ai enchaîné les épisodes d’un coup tellement c’était bien, mais la fin de son histoire purée j’ai la haine qu’elle est pas fini avec son mec, l’empereur de jinshiu je sais pas quoi 😔😔😔

et bref la fin est bien mais voilà quoi c’est juste que je suis trop triste pour la fin de la sœur du ML LOL
