Reviews

2 only for the panel

Things I loved

1 The panel. I think Dex is a great add to the panel and I enjoy their interactions more than ever. I could watch them every time I feel blue and my mood would improve right away. Their chemistry is off the charts.

Things I liked

1 The premise although I think it can be greatly improved. But if you want to shut off your neurons and just enjoy something silly and without any depth, this is for you.

Things I disliked

1 Again. Why on earth do you focus on one person every time and deprive the rest of the cast from screen time? We are there to watch all of them, not only one woman or one man and three idiots who fall for her/him. So once again a disappointment and the main female player went from my favorite on the first episode to my least favorite on the last. Also I didn't see the appeal of the main male player, Jun Seo, so yes, count me out as this was one of the worst seasons.

This is like a breath of fresh air

I quite liked the story and execution, it feels fresh...also, easily the least 'challenging', low-trauma, Chinese (Hong Kong) BL that I liked in the recent times..🥰

BL-needle Score: 8. Reasonably high BL-ness

Yu Lei is so crushing on Chen Ke....and its cute to see him confusing that attraction with rivalry.........so Yu Lei crushing on Chen Ke, Yu Lei's friend Ouyang Han is crushing on Yu Lei, and Chen Ke is slowly waking up to his attraction to Yu Lei....at times I also get this feeling that Yu Lei's cousin sister is also borderline crushing on Chen Ke...so a lot of confusing scenarios will probably emerge soon.. I'm also expecting major heartbreaks up ahead....

The quiet and insecure student is giving me a bad feeling, reminds me of that jealous classmate from The On1y One...I get a feeling that our duo will have something bad happen to them and this guy will be somehow involved

While it borderline reminded me of The On1y One at the beginning, beyond being a school life drama with a hint of rivalry and the whole boy-dorm thing, this is very different from that one

The story is quite engaging ..also liked how it is narrated in the flashback by the leads in turn, it gives you the feel right away that these people are probably estranged, or away from each other now and thinking back on the old days, how they met and got close to each other....

The production values are good, so is the acting, script, and music... I got hooked right from the start and felt compelled to write a review after quite some time.

Go watch!

Powerful and beautiful

This would make a close-to-perfect film.
It was slow in the beginning and it had some plot holes. It's not clear how or why the leads fell in love with each other. It's cold and weary and then half-way they lit a spark that we aren't sure where it came from. They were too subtle on developing such an intense love. I believe that's my biggest criticism of this drama.
I do believe this drama is worth it just for the last three episodes. It would have been great with an optimised storyline for film. I'm giving it a high score just for the last part of the drama.

I knew this could never have a happy ending but I'm still left profoundly heartbroken. It took me a long time to finish this drama because of the theme, in the current political affairs, and because I was feeling the pain of the protagonists a little too intensely.

Overall, the drama is great. It talks about important topics, the cinematography is insanely beautiful and the soundtrack matches the visual and the theme. They all work perfectly together with the acting and most of the story.

I like the way the Soul Reaper confronted his abuser. While he was talking about transcendence and deity, the Soul Reaper brought him back to earth. The ones who do evil do it because they are evil or are ok with the suffering of others and there's usually a societal and political structure which allows them to do this level of evil. He put him in his place and it was an act of justice. Those who commit these acts are people, no matter their social or political status. They need to be treated as such and need to be served the people's justice. I found this very relevant in all of society so often controlled and propagandised by religion and power.

Ele se apaixona perdidamente por Luo Na, sua treinadora, rígida e eficiente. Falling Into You é um dorama esportivo que fala sobre superação e determinação e também é um drama romântico com cenas lindas e apaixonantes. Será que esse amor com diferença de idade vai dar certo? Será que ele irá superar as limitações e terá sucesso praticando o esporte que gosta? Será que eles irão conseguir superar todas as dificuldades que surgirão pelo caminho? Surpreendi-me positivamente com esse drama e o casal tem muita química.

Eu amei!!

Shopping King Louie (2016) – Uma comédia romântica que fala do valor que devemos dar às pequenas coisas. No mundo frenético em que vivemos, os momentos mais singelos são deixados de lado e algumas pessoas a quem deveríamos ter dado mais importância se vão num piscar de olhos. Em todos os lugares somos tomados pelo apelo ao consumo desenfreado que nos faz comprar sem pensar se precisamos realmente daquilo. Se estamos felizes, compramos. Se estamos tristes, compramos também para satisfazer nossos desejos. Nesse drama, vamos conhecer a vida de Louis ( Seo In Guk), uma pessoa rica, compulsiva por compras e com amnésia. E conheceremos Go Bok Shil ( Nam Ji Hyun), uma pessoa pobre e simples que vivia no campo no interior da Coreia. Um encontro nas ruas improvável. Esse dorama me levou às seguintes reflexões: Tudo na vida tem um preço? Existe ajuda sem querer nada em troca? Qual é o valor das nossas memórias? Os sentimentos verdadeiros podem ser comprados? Qual é o valor de um amor verdadeiro?

Já imaginou se você lembrasse de tudo que aconteceu em suas vidas passadas?

Esse drama tem fantasia, romance, suspense e comédia. Já imaginou se você lembrasse de tudo que aconteceu em suas vidas passadas: as dores, amores, perdas, familiares, amigos e inimigos? O que você faria: se aproximaria das pessoas a quem você amava ou viveria sua vida sem procurá-los? Tentaria se vingar daqueles que te fizeram mal ou seguiria sua vida atual sem amarras ao passado? E se você ainda amasse alguém da vida passada: faria de tudo para se aproximar ou se afastaria dele (a) e observaria de longe? Esses e outros muitos dilemas permeiam a 19ª vida de Ban Ji-eun ( a Shin Hye-sun de Mr. Queen, minha comédia favorita). Eu amei esse drama e indico a todos que gostam de histórias assim.

The boys are back!! With big muscles and even bigger hearts.

The basic plot of season 2 is that Rain's Im Baek-Jung goes on an unhinged crime spree to get Woo Do Hwan's Kim Gun-Woo to join his underground fight club. On the one hand, this doesn't make a ton of sense because surely there are lots of other boxers who would be happy to participate willingly and it seems like a pretty bad business model to host fights when you keep killing your opponents?? On the other hand, Gun-Woo is THE babygirl himbo, so honestly it's kind of understandable for Baek-Jung to be so obsessed with him.

Gun-Woo spends most of the season on the verge of tears and Woo-Jin gets his ass kicked multiple times and together, they are truly one of my favorite dumb and dumber duos. They are big of heart, dumb of ass, and they share one single braincell that is devoted entirely to boxing. They still can't agree on how long it should take to properly grill meat. I love them so much.

The villains are legitimately terrifying while lacking all subtlety and they are so fun to watch and root against. Rain's performance is electrifying - he's an absolute psycho and ruthlessly violent and it's impossible to look away when he's on screen. Tae Won Seok also returns as Kang In-Beom and he matches Rain's crazy toe for toe.

The fights scenes are excellent with great choreography and there are some really fun cameos as well. And shoutout to Chansung and Choi Siwon for completing the trio of idol turned actors and giving great performances. Honestly the amount of charisma and star power on display in this show is almost criminal. This is my Avengers.

The final episode is pretty rushed and the ending feels more like setup for a future season than a conclusion of this story, but the season as a whole is entertaining nonetheless. I am shocked but pleasantly surprised that Gun-Woo's mom survived and I hope they send her abroad so she can no longer be used as leverage against the boys.

I'm not the biggest fan of the recent trend of kdramas having multiple seasons but I will happily watch 20 more seasons of Gun-Woo and Woo-Jin teaming up to take down bad guys armed only with their fists and the kindness in their hearts. ACK!

A bit disappointing

Before I go negative on this, I gotta say Jin Young was great as always. This role of Tae Seo was made for him and he did an outstanding job playing it.
It seemed like this drama started out strong, giving us a good story that was going to take off ... but it really had trouble getting off the ground. I really couldn't tolerate the two characters of Eun A & Seong Chan for so many reasons. She had a good thing waiting for her in Tae Seo, but for some reason she really had no idea what she wanted in a relationship. I never saw a character keep showing up and then leaving ... and showing up again and leaving. It became so frustrating and exhausting to follow. Why Tae Seo kept trying to make this work without any success, it was just a complete mystery to me.
The character I had so much empathy for was A Sol. She when out of her way so many times for the chance of a relationship with Tae Seo, but he just couldn't give it a try. Instead he kept ending up in front of Eun A saying "goodbye" ... and goodbye, and goodbye. They said goodbye to each other so many times you lose count.
Again, thumbs up to Jin Young. He made a bad script work well enough to keep me watching till the end ... but there was only so much he could do.

Série interessante!

Solteiros Nunca Mais (2025). É uma série muito interessante que mostra o quanto é difícil ter um relacionamento amoroso hoje em dia. Principalmente para coreanos que nunca namoraram e que estão na casa dos 26 aos 31 anos de idade. As pressões familiares, o mundo do trabalho, as expectativas pessoais de alguém ideal, o poder aquisitivo e os padrões de beleza bem rígidos fazem com que a cada dia vejamos menos casamentos e poucas relações duradouras na Coreia e no mundo. A timidez também é um grande empecilho fazendo com que algumas cenas sejam bastante engraçadas e outras bem tristes. Mas indico a todos essa série. Me diverti bastante e são apenas 10 episódios.
