I watched this drama because of park jinyoung, and honestly I had high expectations . The first two episodes were actually really good and had a strong start, but after that it just went downhill for me. The story became confusing and kind of boring, The acting was good tho and I really liked the OSTs, but overall it just didn’t live up to the hype and it was depressing. I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you’re watching for the cast

Bravo, My Patience! A Lesson in How to Desecrate a Decent Premise.

This is going to be a bit lengthy but please bear with me. Bravo, My Life is a textbook example of a decent story idea that was ultimately desecrated by poor execution and a total lack of common sense. The premise, a 19 year old girl (Seo Dong-hee) becoming a single mother to her nephew after her brother is killed in a hit and run had massive potential. This is especially true when you consider she was forced into this life after her brother’s wife, Baek Seung-joo (if she even qualifies as a "wife") abandoned her newborn for a teenager to raise.
However the actual experience of watching this was a chore as the writing was riddled with massive plot holes that made the 120 episode journey irritating to endure. That isn't to say there weren't bits I enjoyed, I particularly liked the early stage bickering between Dong-hee and Cha-yeol when they first started working together.

The next issue I couldn't stand was the caricature like acting. This story required deep emotional resonance but the performances were overwhelmingly stale or just plain bad. While the actress playing Dong-hee is decent, her character was written poorly, it felt like a relic from an early 2000s K-drama. If you dropped her into Boys Over Flowers or Playful Kiss, she would fit right in. She made one dumb decision after another reaching a point where it felt like it went beyond "I’m kind or forgiving" to "I’m mentally retarded and like to be walked over." Tell me why she kept smiling at Baek Seung-joo after the lady told her to her face she didn't like her and that she purposely threw away the gift Dong-hee bought for her? Or when Baek Seung-joo was jealous and kept being mean and malicious to her at work because of Cha-yeol, why are you still acting nice to this lady? She tried to get you fired for goodness sake! Her "goody-two-shoes" persona went beyond virtue into pure stupidity like when she allowed a coworker to steal her mood board and take credit for work she had spent all night completing.

Now unto the person responsible for this hot mess: the director. The director is arguably the person most responsible for this "hot pile of trash." With a competent director this could have been a fun watch. The first thing I noticed was the sets, my goodness they were bad! The house for the wealthy family who owned a fashion business made no sense, I tried but couldn't make sense of what their home was supposed to be. I know budget plays a role but this was the worst house set I have ever seen. It would have been better if they had just replicated an IKEA showroom. Nearly 80% of the locations were obviously cheap sets that stripped away any sense of realism making the drama feel like a low budget stage play. (I will give them credit though the cars the wealthy characters drove were actually nice.) I even blame the director for the flat characters, a little direction could have added nuance to these two dimensional caricatures turning them into actual human beings because the core characterization was good but the execution was bad. The writers had potential but stupidity from them and everyone else in charge of creative decisions ruined it.

Then the acting from everyone was subpar with the exception of Cha-yeol, Bang Hye-ran and Baek Seung-joo and maybe Dong-hee and Choi Mi-kyung. Kang Sung-wook however was arguably the worst. I couldn't understand why the right corner of his lips was always lifted, the man literally smiled his way through his own divorce and through the entire film. No matter the gravity of the situation at hand you could trust him to smile it away.

The wardrobe department was another disaster and a dunce was in charge of dressing the actors. Why was it that only the men were well dressed, along with Baek Seung-Joo’s mother, Bang Hye-Ran who in my opinion was the best dressed in the show. At the beginning Dong-Hee was supposed to be a struggling single mother who did not go to university and worked a minimum wage job yet she and her son Him-chan wore pristine, newly minted clothing. So tell me how could she afford these clothes not only herself but Him-Chan (her son) too. And why were their pajamas perfectly ironed? Why was Him-chan dressed like a "little young master" instead of a child of a struggling mother living in a one room at the restaurant backroom? If she earns minimum wage this shouldn't be possible. It would have made more sense for their clothes to look cheap or rumpled at first then slowly improving as their situation did.

Baek Seung-Joo was another person whose wardrobe I couldn't stand looking at. She was supposed to be the team leader in a fashion company but I couldn't understand what was going on with her wardrobe. Sometimes she was well dressed and other times she looked like an ordinary office worker. Isn't she supposed to look to the nines? Aren't they creating some of the best clothing in the fashion industry in Korea? And she is in charge of this but doesn't dress the part? Even after marrying the owner's son her wardrobe never received the "rich daughter-in-law" upgrade you’d expect. Her mother was better dressed than her, they gave the woman even better color combos.


Then there was the hair. Never in my over 15 years of K-drama watching have I seen a drama this long not change a single person’s hair throughout its 120 episodes. Oh wait, the writer lady had a slight glow-up but everyone else? The same way you met them is the way they stayed until the end. Not one person had their hair cut or color changed or their hairstyles switched up. Baek Seung-Joo had her hair packed up from the beginning, to her wedding (yes, I’m serious her wedding hairstyle was the exact same as every other day) to the very end of the show. No straightening, curling, perming or anything happened to any character despite the show supposedly spanning 9 years!


Finally, I have to mention Him-chan. I didn't want to do this but I did not like Him-Chan’s acting and I think this could be attributed back to the director. This boy is still a child and needs proper direction especially when displaying emotions however all through the drama we got the exact same expressions. All he ever did was smile. When his future stepfather was in a coma, he was smiling while praying. You scold Him Chan, he smiles. He meets strangers who by the way he shouldn't be talking to and he's smiling again. His character was also poorly written. He was the picture of a perfect child, kinda like a miniature version of Dong-Hee. He only acted out once when he broke his hand but aside from that one time he never misbehaved or acted out. Frankly, I'm not sure the writer has ever been around a child that age because even the most well mannered child has their hair pulling moments, the only difference is that it's not often. Ironically Him-Chan’s constant smiling made me think he should have been cast as Kang Sung-wook’s son instead.


If you read till this stage, thank you that couldn't have been easy as this took me quite a while to write. I don't know if you agree with everything I said or if you see my point. Please note I did not hate the drama as I watched it till the very end, I just hate how a really good drama was handled poorly and lost its potential to be a really good show. If you are looking for family oriented dramas that are better executed try “Father is Strange” (my personal best, there wasn't a single plot hole here and yes it's a long form series as well) and “Stars Falling from the Sky” this one is what Bravo, My Life wished it could've been, it's also about a struggling single mother who was forced to take of children that aren't hers.

Beautiful. Cineamatic. Impecable

i continue to come back to this drama again and again. the vast amount of representation and emotional stories really touch my heart in ways i cannot express. i adore gu ru so much, seeing him grow throughout his journey after his father died has been beautifully excecuted.

i cried. i laughed. i sobbed. every emotion you can name, you will experience. i hope that this story can continue with another season. the ending made it seem like there could possibly be a season 2.

if you havent watched it yet, WATCH IT. you wont regret it.

Eletrizante, adrenalina, amizade, família e amor.

A segunda temporada de Bloodhounds superou minhas expectativas, trouxeram outra história para a nova temporada, mas não tirou o foco da enredo principal. Portanto, fiquei encantada em como a união dos personagens ficaram muito mais fortes, cada um ali tratam todos como se fosse família e com isso acaba que quem está assistindo se apega com todos em volta do kdrama. Os vilões tem meu respeito, são inteligentes, meticulosos, não vão direto ao principal e sim atacar os pontos fracos para atacar o psicólogico do Geon-woo (Woo Do Hwan), que pasmem trouxe fortaleceu ainda mais para combater o mal. Outro ponto importante foi a rendição do Yun Tae Geom (Chansung), queria muito que o final do personagem não fosse aquilo, seria perfeito se houvesse a junção dele com com o Geon-woo e Woo-jin e mostrar o seu lado família e pai de menina (NETFLIX VOCÊ ME PAGA POR ISSO), mas enfim o kdrama está perfeito, quem gosta de união de família, lutas, ação a cada momento, super recomendo.

ps: AGUARDANDO ANSIOSIAMENTE PELA TERCEIRA TEMPORADA PRA VER O PARK SEOJOON COMO VILÃO

A Bit Disappointing

I enjoyed the premiee. The ML wakes up after an accident missing 10 years of his life's memory and has to rediscover his past. He has difficulty coming to terms with his new living situation and even has to relive some of his old traumas.

It started off very interesting but there are some parts which don't make sense. Why did he think he and SaeByeok were enemies and why he couldn't imagine they were together given their past relationship? There is a scene where he was fighting with him 10 years ago but fhat situation was not clarified.

Overall the drama is nice but everything feels a bit dull and muted. There are also things that don't make sense. Like why not have security camera just in case you catch your stalker. Why the police was so incompetent? Why quit your career? Very strange.

There were moments when the episode felt like it was too slow and I had to speed it up. I will probably forget this drama with time unfortunately.

so-bad-it's-good" experience or fans of Lee Jae Wook, as the narrative inconsistencies

While the bromance between the two male protagonists initially captivated audiences, the narrative often deteriorates into unlikable characters and forced romance that feels unnecessary to the plot. Viewers have noted that the female lead's expressionless acting and the shallow characterization of the main couple significantly detract from the tension, leading many to describe the experience as "hate-watching."


Plot Incoherence: Sudden time jumps and unexplained character motivations make the story difficult to follow.
Weak Female Lead: Hong Su Zu's portrayal as Na Hye Won is frequently cited as a major flaw, with critics calling her performance "wooden" and "stiff."

average storyline and acting

the series started off really great showcasing vincenzo as a proper mafia but then- whats with the drama?! i was really loving it until they kept on adding unessecary stuff which made it feel boring. i really loved the twist where they showed jang han seo as a psychopath villain-it suited him. adding that bromance of tae ho and another guy was completely useless. there were many potholes amd song joong ki did a bit too much in his acting imo. i really loved choi myeong hee and jang han seo's duo, and i loved jang han seok too but they killed him off which was not needed.

A Simple Story That Gently Breaks Your Heart

I started 18th Rose on Netflix out of boredom, honestly expecting a light and forgettable teen romance. But this film surprised me in the best way—it has more depth and emotional weight than it initially lets on.

Set around a Filipino debut, the story follows Rose, played by Xyriel Manabat, a bright and determined teenager preparing for her 18th birthday. She meets Jordan, portrayed by Kyle Echarri, an American-Filipino struggling to adjust to life in the province. Their journey starts off light and playful, but as their bond deepens, the story reveals more emotional layers.

Xyriel delivers a graceful and heartfelt performance, portraying Rose with strength, warmth, and quiet resilience. Kyle Echarri, however, is the standout here. His portrayal of Jordan shows growth, depth, and emotional intensity—it’s easily his most impressive role to date.

The film starts with a soft, giddy vibe, but gradually becomes heavier, tackling themes of identity, self-worth, and the bittersweet transition into adulthood. It also touches on how young people navigate expectations versus reality, especially in a simpler, early-2000s setting.

What makes this film special is its sincerity. There’s no forced drama between the leads, and their relationship feels natural and supportive, which makes the emotional moments even more impactful.

While the story itself isn’t entirely new, the execution is polished and heartfelt. It’s the kind of film that quietly grows on you—and stays with you.

Definitely worth watching, especially if you enjoy emotional coming-of-age stories.

the story moved so beautifully

I don't have a background history of the happenings portrayed here but it was so beautifully done, you're first thrown in confused and skeptical, and when you think you finally understand what happening and the suspense starts to feel weak then bam! you're thrown into more confusion, left to rewind and look back at certain details you thought 'not important' but were clues leading you somewhere. the movie keeps you on you toes and has you making inferences only to break it down to create another, what I loved the most was the pacing, and the story telling was sooo good. the acting was exceptional and the fight scenes well choreographed, I watched this for Wang Yibo but stayed for the whole performance, I highly recommend this, it's been a while since a thriller suspense has me on the edge.

how much does our definition of love matters?

the story throws you into confusion at the beginning, then you feel bad for the FL and want to comfort her, somewhere in between is Tan song Yuns character showing up and making you uncomfortable, because somewhere in her cheerful nature and carefree personality is a discomfort you can quite put your finger on. then the meeting between the FL and ML happens and then you see the doom on its way. I could tell the FL was distraught and confused but her love for the other girl was just not strong enough for her to steer clear from ML. finally you understand the second FL character and her need for fairytale like romance and finally her undying love for the FL, but this isn't a complicated cheating story per say it is more of a complicated love triangle with extremes.

First drama that’s better in the last 20 episodes than the first 20

i just finished this so i wanna give my insight. First 10-15 episodes were kinda enjoyable because we were still getting into the story, but from those episodes till episode 20 or something OMG HOW MUCH I HATED FL😭😭😭 of course she thinks she’s in a storybook and she doesn’t treat the characters like real people and of course she wanna save herself, but ALL HER CHOICES MADE ME SO MAD😭😭😭 some scenes were so corny it took me so long to get through them😭, around the 20ish mark she has less screen time so the plot is more enjoyable with the rest of the characters (omg fl’s sister was also ANNOYING as hell mannn, why did she wanna force someone that didn’t love her into marriage by drugging them?😭). Well after the reveal is done Fl starts behaving like a normal human being thankfully so the story becomes enjoyable!! One think that took me out was how the Emperor switched up on Nan Heng when it was revealed that he was not the mastermind behind the Empress’ death LIKE DUH HOW CAN A 9 YO PLAN AN ASSASSINATION????? and then him being like ‘why didn’t u tell me?’ as if he didn’t have ML whipped for schemes almost a 100 times just a few weeks prior😭😭😭 Even tho he did a 180° i didn’t mind his character AFTERWARDS.
General Chu was giving uncanny valley sometimes at the end, but tbh as a human being he was wronged in the OG OG storyline, then in the current one since ML is NOT a bad guy, Chu was just crazy. He gets top 3 most annoying character with both the princesses from Fated Hearts and The Double!
It was a nice watch at the end of the day!! i recommend

Not Just Good, But the Best.

I am always skeptical when it comes to Domundi shows — they have a penchant for creating fun, light, yet wholesome, stories such as Your Sky or blowing it out of the box with nonsense such as The Next Prince, then drop Khemjira the next month, which undoubtedly put their future dramas into scrutiny.

A 9/10 rating for such a drama might be an overblown score, but I will explain why.
(To be more accurate, it will be closer to 8.7 for me. It has its ups and downs and I personally loved everything upto EP9. The rest are as enjoyable, but didn't pack the same punch as the previous ones for me.)

Being a character driven plot, Duang With You, by all means, is the perfect recipe for disaster, particularly for seasoned watchers and those who are expecting complex plots and no-nonsense characters. The funny thing is that the show itself is well aware of it --- it was meant to be a fluffy, albeit a little healing, and yet a fun romance.
And it does not attempt to disguise itself as something it was not.


✓ It starts off with a manic energy and ridiculous sound effects which further prove this point. Not to mention the rather cliché premise—

A popular interior arts student, Duang, pursues his icy love interest, Qinn, creating circumstances that would attempt to make them closer. Qinn is rather amused by his shenanigans, but when he is forced to pair with Duang for a college performance, he begins to realize that there is more to the funny fellow than meets the eye. He inadvertently begins to fall for him, complicating his guarded emotions and confusing Duang, who relentlessly strives to prove his sincerity.

✓ Adapting a book that has no definite plot has its setbacks. That too, with absolutely no conflicts.
I personally loved the first couple of episodes, because there was some purposeful drive for the relationship. For example, the senior, particularly, Alice, setting Duang up for both their show and trying to make his dream come true is the impetus that drove Qin and Duang's relationship forward and provided the time required for Duang to be seen past his goofy nature for Qin.

✓ The writers stayed true to the novel, though. Because most of the scenes and dialogues are a jumble of various chapters of the whole book. Some of Qinn's final sentences in the novel are at the beginning of the book.
But, I do think that things got a tad bit repetitive in some aspects.
I know the writers did not mean for it to happen, but by the end of the EP12, I was terrified of Qinn's love for Duang.


✓ Caveat, it is almost 100% Fluff. And told almost entirely from Duang's point of view. This personally affected me because we didn't get to see much of what was going on in Qinn's side of the story when some pivotal moments arrived -- I felt that it could've been 'shown' as tidbits instead of being 'told'. Particularly, about his family.

✓ Most of the plot is buoyed by the cast, particularly TeeTee, who delivers an unforgettable and lovable portrayal of Duang. Por is not far behind, and manages to stay on par with him.


✓ The true highlight of the series is the namesake of the drama, Duang. By all circumstances, he should've been a character that infuriates viewers, had something gone wrong.
Then, why, oh, why is everyone under a Duang Mania?
I think this is where the showrunners win.

And the title ‘Duang With You’ is the most suitable because Duang “is” the star of the show, played by TeeTee.
He manages to bring the maniacal, yet simple, and deeply empathetic character to life, switching between his tones and moods with ease, leaving us rooting for him at every turn.

Instead of being downright annoying, Duang is a character who knows his limits, pushing his emotions aside with a smile. He is never overtly jealous and somewhere, deep down, he was painfully aware that his pursuit of Qinn might be fruitless in the end.
Having to create a character who is unique, silly, unapologetically embarrassing and still manages to tug at your heart is no easy feat.

It reminded me of Lu Shi Yi from 'A River Runs Through It'. By all means, he could've come off as an annoying bully, but his consistent presence in Xiao Ju's life for years along with his natural charm attracted viewers. That drama will forever be a bitter memory for me for this very reason. Sigh... Anyhow.

Duang’s crazy infatuation drives him to make several plans that are frankly not from a sane mind, as his friends Jamie and Pae tell him.
We laugh at his efforts (I mean, he literally puts up his own stickers all over the hallway to catch Qinn’s sight) but as someone on YouTube commented, Duang was 100% serious about them.

To be honest, there is very thin line between stalking and attempting to woo someone, as Jamie and Pae tell him. But, the main point was that he was 'harmless'. If Qin asked him to stop, he stopped. When he felt that Qin wanted to drive him away, he stayed away.

He was consistent in his efforts, however ridiculous they were.
But, the bitter truth is that nobody in the world would wait for you as Duang did for Qinn.
But, who doesn't need a respite from reality?

That doesn't mean that Duang was a soft fluffball. He might be silly, straightforward and wears his heart on his sleeves, but he was honest and sincere. He masks his sadness with smiles, pushes himself away when he feels that he is not welcome and last, but not the least— he knows how to read the room.
(I am sorry to say that I know plenty of guys who would offer help when needed, but they all suck at romance.)

Qinn, played by Por Suppakarn, is rather difficult to portray, particularly when opposite to a character such as Duang, who is a perfect antithesis to Qinn. But, the writers gave him his time, throwing in glimpses of his turmoil and most of Qinn’s emotions depend on actions rather than words, which further complicates their relationship.
He reminded me of a more subdued version of Xiao Yao (Lost You Forever) as both characters had been shaped by their past experiences.
He lets Duang’s pursuit be a test for himself as well as for Duang and we spent half of the drama along with Duang – on a straight rope with no clear idea about what their relationship was exactly. Or rather a situationship.

While Duang is unsure of whether they were just in their ‘talking’ stage, Qinn has already claimed him as his person, whether Qinn was ready to accept it or not. Qinn was far more unsubtle with his emotions, having explosions of jealousy and is overtly more possessive than Duang.

✓ Maybe this slow burn and clashing characters are the true charm? I don't know for sure.
Also, the drama contains certain events/characters that push their relationship forward, a necessary change from the original novel, which was more of a collection of accounts of their daily lives. Much of the time Qinn understands Duang is during their summer break when they are practicing for a college programme. (There is a two week time skip which indicates this.)

✓ Duang’s efforts are flanked by his bestfriends, Jamie and Pae, who cheers him and also helps him realize the truth, offering comfort and caution whenever he needed. They don't come and go as they please and are active participants of Duang’s life. Both of them were comedic and clear headed and their friendship with Duang was another highlight. So was Qinn’s Tong and Kim. Characters existed for the vitality of the story rather than just to move the plot forward.

--- Family relationships play an integral part in both characters' upbringing. Qin was an only child with a rather strange family, but Duang's was vibrant and a sheer delight. I was happy seeing Yim as Funan. It has been years since I last saw him and he'll always probably be that 'Sadhu' guy from Cutie Pie. Whether family or friendship, this show did manage to brush all the parts.


✓ Aesthetically, the drama is pleasing to watch. It is completely splashed in colours with a cheerful tone. I don't know a thing about cameras and production thingies, and I won’t speak on that.


✓ The soundtrack reflects the same sentiments as the drama. My favorite ones are:

• Not the Best, but Still Good.
• Someday, Say Yes.
• Don't Give Up.
• Freeze ( Not an original, but two characters, Peem and Sol performed it in EP6 and it stuck with me since then.)
• Heart’s Timing.
• 101% Love.

Qinn being a Jazz music student had his fair share of performances onstage.
So, were Peem and Sol, two vocal students (played by Punch and Nice - two idols) who actually are one of the reasons why Qin and Duang are together. I loved their performance in EP6.

The drama also has several BG sound effects that add to its silliness, but it was endearing and reminded me of youth dramas such as ‘A River Runs Through It’.

For example, there is a scene where a serious character is jealous, but the pip-pip-pipee! BGM made me laugh and it wasn’t until much later, when it was evident that he was more critical about the issue, did the tone change.
This also affected the arrival of Marvis, Jamie’s person of interest, because the BGM and his shocked expression made me feel amused instead of awed. I feel sorry cause this feeling continued till the end whenever those two turned up. But, I have to give it to them– they had the most shockingly straightforward scenes.


—That reminds me; there are scenes that are quite risqué, but the way it was choreographed and directed seemed more emotional rather than gratuitous – almost too intense at times and made me watch through my fingers.

Moreover, there were instrumentals of certain songs that played during them that stuck with me.

✓ There was a slow build up BGM in EP6 where the boys are worrying about their performance that struck a cord in me. It was simply captivating and made me rewatch the previous episodes as it revealed the shift in their relationship. Hope it gets released.

✓ Unfortunately, this drama also just highlights the fact that honest and sincere people are a rare thing to find in the present world. And it was also relatable to me as I had seen two similar incidents happen over my time in college.
Well, at least, I'm happy that Qinn found his man. And Duang found his man, too.
It's not everytime characters like Duang, Lu Shi Yi or Lu Xun exist and get appreciated. I'm glad that atleast two out of the three of them got their happy endings.

Sometimes simply watching two characters grow up, face their fears and fall in love with no pressure is what we need. And that's exactly what this drama was for me, particularly during my University Examination period when it was a gift for an hour of break to break the stress. It was also the first drama I began this year.

I’m rating this a 9/10, not because it is a masterpiece. But, it simply is lovely, heartwarming, wholesome and memorable amongst the deluge of dramas in its own league - not the best, but still good.

The judges were awful

Things I loved

1 That it was a pastry contest of course. Although for the love of god I don't know why they kept saying bread in English. If it was about bread then it should be about bread. That wasn't the case. Did the bake bread? Yes. But mostly it was pastries, so what the heck? All in all, it was an utter failure.

Things I liked

1 The contestants. Most were sympathetic and did their best to present us great pastries.

2 The winner. She was good, she has a crazy talent for details and she deserved the win.

3 The amateur judge. She was fresh and she honest about what she enjoyed and why. She didn't try to act like an expert and I appreciated that.

Things I disliked

1 The theme of every episode. I didn't find them enticing enough and there were too many that were stupid and not original at all.

2 Some of the contestants but luckily very few.

3 The judges that I didn't hate except for Mimi that I liked.

Things I hated

1 The judges panel. Napoli Matfia what an idiot. Not only did he win without glory his competition but he had to ruin this one with his stupid comments. Not only that but he had the nerve to say to the amateur contestant that she shouldn't be there. What a despicable idiot. She was one of the best contestants and she had a great attitude and she had to agree with that idiot? Please!!

2 The female judge who works in France. What a disagreeable arrogant woman. She rarely smiled and what ever she said you thought she ate a bitter lemon. I hated her. It's so clear she thinks she's the best.

2 Da-Hee, the presenter. I love her in Single's Inferno. She's so funny, incisive, beautiful. Here she was awful. She had nothing to do and when she spoke was only to frustrate us by taking an hour to effing give us the scores etc. If there is a second season she should stay out of that program. She deserves better.

Beautiful People, Beautifully Shot, with Solid Writing

I’m impressed. I don’t think they spent huge amounts on this, but they spent every penny well. The production was slick, and really well filmed. The direction was good, the acting was naturalistic and quietly human. The locations were very minimalist and nicely lit. The story and writing were sound. The music wasn’t intrusive, but was evocative. I might be over-rating this, simply because it did everything reasonably well, but I feel like it’s one of the most consistently polished things I’ve watched recently, and it’s nice to have no complaints. Even the nut job sasaeng was rendered with restraint and style. If any BL series represents the South Korean Aesthetic it’s this one.

I feel like this production sets good precedent, because despite having a very tired central conceit (amnesia from head trauma), it made a lot of sense, and was admirably restrained, while keeping me interested. The added melodrama of the sasaeng plotline wasn’t overdone. Nothing distracted too much from the core romance, keeping it as a love story, despite the genre blending, and the annoyance of the third party trope wasn’t dragged out too long. I think they balanced the various threads of the story well, resolved the main tensions, and resisted the temptation to fill in too much detail on some things.

That said, it’s neither groundbreaking or even hugely original. I’m not rating it as high art. I’m rating it for what it is: a polished, budget queer romance with a very mild thriller element, and free of irritants. I give queer content a head start on ratings, based on the fact that it rarely gets the budget or production standards that straight content does, and gets treated as second-rate very often. As a result I’ve really piled on the stars for this one. It’s nice to see our demographic so well served by talented people. Recommended.
