Beautiful love story

I feel so bad for plob. I just hope klao will remember him soon.
The yearning in his eyes, he’s so scared that the man he loves will love him no more, worst. Will not even remember the love they shared.
Please remember plob🥹🥹🥺 I don’t want him to be sad.

As for netjames fans, I hope you know spreading hate isn’t good. This hate will backfire on James when he gets a partner. The partner will feel the pains JJ had to go through.

I hope you also know James can’t pull this off. He isn’t that good of an actor to do this, I watched his trailer and it was just weirdly done

Amazing

LUAT with NetJJ is such a well-done series. The overall vibe is what really stands out. Everyone from the scenery to the music and humor blends together so naturally. The cinematography creates a calm, immersive feel, while the music adds just the right emotional depth without overpowering the scenes. The comedy is woven in perfectly, keeping it light and enjoyable. On top of that, the acting is strong and the characters are engaging, making you genuinely care about what happens next. The storyline keeps you intrigued without feeling rushed. Definitely one of those shows that pulls you in and keeps you wanting more! I can’t wait for the rest of the episodes.

Potentially triggering for some

This is one of the more in-depth series I've come across that highlights the impact of predators. For the female audience in particular, it may triggering if you've ever experienced similar traumas. But I appreciate the nice dosage of revenge, even more so when it comes from random individuals who come together from different events but towards the same instigator.

The plot flow was pretty done well and they even managed to slide in a few humorous moments despite its somber environment. But with only 24 episodes (should have skipped 25) of the main story, there were definitely events that should have been delved into deeper. The fallen comrades jerked out tears but their deaths was very unsatisfactory... and potentially unnecessary. I wish they dived a little more into how the FL lived out her seven years and her relationship with the main wife. Also don't realize understand her reasoning for leaving her husband.

Some may not find the antagonist's background story very redeeming but ironically, it's quite realistic for me. Not all people who do evil deeds have sad and traumatizing backgrounds that we should feel forced to justify. His final penalty also felt too light and unsatisfactory.

There are also some plot holes but nothing that deters too much from the overall feel. It's worth a watch if you're okay with the triggering topic of SA. As for episode 25, it's an alternate ending for what if none of this happened and none of them really met. Personally I think it diminished the end feel of the series and it can be skipped completely, but some may appreciate it.

Stayed to watch the capital palace intrigue towards the end (epi 34-40)

The chemistry between the leads was incredible and they made you believe they were truly in love with each other early on. And while I loved the acting of the FL which was solid and consistently showing her growth throughout, I was let down by the acting of the ML as I had expected the ML to be edgier and colder from the start (like Murong Jinghe from KMLM), and for there to be more of a change in his personality as he softened and fell in love with Chang Yu. I just didn't see it as he was such a loveable guy from the start!

I especially loved the actors who played the puppet emperor and Xie Zheng's cunning uncle, Wei Yan. They stole the show in the last 10 episodes and I couldn't keep my eyes off their riveting, sympathetic performances of characters we should be despising for the acts they have committed. They all deserve acting awards.

The capital arc and court palace intrigue felt more grounded in reality and was told from multiple perspectives, Rashomon style. (The story was apparently based on a real historical female general in China, although I don't know how much of the palace intrigues were real). I won't spoil it but the last 10 episodes are like a murder mystery with the leads trying to figure out what happened to their parents and why and holding the culprits to account,

Storywise, while it was better than you're typical historical period piece, I felt there were certain plot points that were missed or not elaborated upon (e.g., when he finds out the FL is the daughter of his family's sworn enemy, Wei QiLin) that I wish he struggled more with before deciding to get together with the FL. Instead of giving him pause, he told her he was aware of her connection and would help her clear her father's name. No self-respecting general (simp or no simp) would go this far!

Also a major plothole was why he would drop a 17 year old family blood feud with Wei Qinlin if, after opening up a whole investigation into the Jinzhou massacre and finding his family's sworn enemy, Wei Qinlin's family, was still alive and even going to the Northwest to further investigate? Also, what's with all the parental suicides? That was unbelievable too and come on, let the bad guys get away with murder sometimes (as they often do IRL).

Otherwise, 9/10 story. It noticed a lot of similarities between Pursuit of Jade and Kill Me Love Me (e.g., live in husband, the general who was wronged, the stay in a village where the couple develops feelings for each other, the final stand off with the relative to vye for court control (in KMLM it was the crown prince and in POJ it was the emperor and his main ministers/advisors).

Not terrible but not great either

I had high hopes for this drama based on the fact that Han Ji Min was the lead and she stars in some of my all time favorite dramas (Familiar Wife, One Spring Night, Love Scout). It's not the worst drama but it definitely wasn't the best. The only word I can think to describe this drama is bland. I really wish they would've leaned more into the love triangle. I usually don't like that trope, however, in this drama with her meeting two guys around the same time that she liked, I think it could've been interesting. Anywho, if you want a filler drama to watch while you're waiting for something better to air, this drama may be for you.

Estou amando a série. Gosto muito de como a transmigração do Nakhun para o passado não foi tratada como algo "normal" como a gente geralmente vê em dramas de transmigração. Ele realmente surtou por estar em um local totalmente diferente, com pessoas estranhas chamando ele por um nome que ele nunca ouviu e correndo atrás dele. Amo todo o cast e como cada um encaixou perfeitamente com os personagens. A trilha sonora está incrível, a abertura é uma obra de arte com animações lindas. Vale muito a pena assistir, no episódio 2 as coisas começam a mudar o tom para angst e estou muito ansiosa para ver o desenrolar dessa história.

Uma obra prima em formato de BL

Fui fortemente indicada a assistir esse BL, agora que resolvi explorar títulos com esse gênero. Conheci os JimmySea e me apaixonei perdidamente pelos seus Mhok e Day... não tenho palavras para descrever o quão linda essa história é! Gostei muito da forma que foi desenvolvido, me ganhou mais a cada episódio.

A QUÍMICA DE MILHÕES? TEMOS!!!!!! Mas é incrível como em pequenos gestos você sentia a ternura entre os personagens, não necessitando de nada explícito demais, tudo bem especial e importante para ambos.

Amei a escolha de elenco também, não consegui odiar nenhum personagem, apesar de devido a determinados fatos no decorrer da trama a gente acabar tendo uma raivinha né? Mas af, esse bl é perfeito em todos os sentidos e eu poderia ficar horas e horas falando sobre e provavelmente voltaria ao título dessa resenha. Virei fã dos JimmySea e quero ver mais trabalhos desse duo.

ITS A 10/10 AND ITS NOT EVEN COMPLETE YET

1000000/10 series. I love Love Upon a Time!! As of April 5th there’s only 2 episode and it’s genuinely sooo good. It’s building up to the greatest angst story ever. And NetJJ and LatteKim are phenomenal!!!

You’ve never seen such a relatable main character. How would you react if you got sent to the past— 400 years!! You’d probably freak out, maybe be in denial or even believe ending it would send you back home. So did Nakhun HAHA!! He’s relatable freak out to suddenly being in the past was the funniest thing ever. I loved seeing it because that’s how I’d react

irritatedly annoying drama

First i would like to start off, I do not hate any of the actors or actress they acted the way they were supposed to when given the script and direction from the director. What I hate about this drama is the fact that the creators were trying to do a love triangle when it was not necessary. The love triangle between
ML - Kong Ji Hyeok(Jang Ki Yong), FL - Ko Da Rim(Ahn Eun Jin) and the childhood best friend - Kim Seon U(Kim Mu Jun). This was not necessary. We already know who FL liked. The creators should have just paired up Kim Seon U(Kim Mu Jun) and Yoo Ha Yeong(Woo Da Vi), but nope, they didn't even let them be together in the end. It was left vague, stuck between just a friend or maybe a girlfriend. Just a genuine question, is it so wrong for a single parent to have romance? Why even bring Kim Seon U(Kim Mu Jun) and Yoo Ha Yeong(Woo Da Vi) together if we are never gonna get a happy ending for these two? I also felt that the ML sister - Kong Ji Hye (Jung Ga Hee), had room for improvement I 100% felt she could have gotten a character growth which was much needed. Kong Ji Hye's character was much more complex than any of the main characters. Her story seems far better, but it ended with her leaving the trash father. With all honesty, the creators were trying to slap the tragedy tag on the Main characters when in reality their tragedy was just a child's joke. Honestly felt like a kid made this script. Yes, this drama is 100% overloaded with cliches. This drama could have been more than just some cliche drama, but the creators decided to make it overdramatic and overloaded with cliche plots. This drama was a major letdown for me. I will say this again, I do not hate the actor/actress, they did their job, they were supposed to do. It's the creators that I hated.

Whoa

First drama I fell into that wasn't a full romantic story. I have to say the ML was arrogant, obsessive, an overall a hole at times with the FL. I hated that he did not have any personal growth. But then, this is very realistic, this is how it is in real life. The FL was great but she also had her flaws so many misunderstandings that could have been resolved by just speaking up when needed and explaining to the ML her thoughts, he gave her many chances too. I didn't like her ending it was depressing but again this was more realistic. overall the story and actors were great. the Supporting Male was also an a hole completely, he should have been punished more severely. And let's not talk about the Grandfather king smh what a character. I give this drama a high rating because besides it not being what I thought it was good, everyone's acting was on point. it keeps you going despite the frustration, had me in tears towards the end.

slice of life

Overall: I really wanted to like this slice of life, but it never hooked me. Based on the book "Love and Punishment by the Unnamed Lake" by Ni Lv Zhu Ren which I haven't read and am reviewing the series on its own merits. 8 episodes about 40 minutes each. Aired on Viki https://www.viki.com/videos/1270086v ; GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6540/feel-what-you-feel-2026 (not available in: Japan, Korea, Americas, Europe, Oceania, India or Middle East) & Heavenly (South Korea)

Content Warnings: bullying, non con/dub con kiss, attempted murder, blood, non con kiss likely turned consensual

What I Liked
- the premise
- slice of life vibe
- second couple

Room For Improvement
- the voice over start and more voice over later
- the main couple pacing was too slow and then rushed in the finale with a few minute montage
- knowing this is set in 2001 and the location, it pulled me out of the series that there were 2 queer couples (even though I enjoyed the 2nd couple)
- odd ending for the second couple
- the finale went soap opera (can skip episode 8 2:40-13:30 to skip past it)
- snooping in the diary wasn't romantic
