That's how we do a proper romcom

I was hooked up since I watched the trailer, but it exceeded my expectations. I had so much fun watching this drama and Cha Se-gye & Seo-ri's bickering.
Their romance was done properly, the aspect I loved the most was seeing Seo-ri affirming her feelings for him and holding onto them instead of fleeing. So refreshing that we avoided too much misunderstandings.

I also liked that they gave a proper ending to their Joseon version : let's not make them miserable, they also deserves their happy ending.

The regression, time travel, no time travel was messy at the end honestly, they complicated the issue for nothing imo. I wish we would've seen more of the real Kang Dan-shim specially because she also had tough life.

Choi Mun-do was good antagonist, he was the REAL villain of the drama. I found that Cha Se-gye was not a good opponent frankly speaking : he used words too much and took little actions. He's the MC so of course he won but in reality I don't think he would've won.

Overall the acting was great, the OST too. It wasn't perfect, but compared to the last romcoms I've watched it's well done, so I recommend it to everyone who wants a fun moment.

Eccentric Style of Time Travel Show, But Fell Out at The End

We have another time travel drama again! This time it was Shin Seo Ri, the FL, who travelled from Joseon era to the modern Korea. By reading the summary, I thought it was going to be a usual romcom or something like that. However, this show was executed in the unusual way. Everytime you see a situation that makes you think "oh, this is going to be another cliche", they snapped it out and brought something unique.

However this unique executions stopped in later episodes. They were too makjang-ish even for a fantasy show. The way Seo Ri casually time travelled back and forth in the last episode was peak makjang. This show is also a plot-hole fest. As someone time travelling from the past, adapting to the latest technology should be difficult. Normally a time traveller in a drama gets a sidekick who constantly gives a brief about their usual habit etc. However, Shin Seo Ri was totally alone. Yet she was able to use a smartphone (she even left it at home at the beginning), pick up some foreign words easily, and even understand medical diagnose from doctors. A lot of questionable storylines including: why Seo Ri's parents did suicide, why Mo Tae Hui suddenly changed her goal, why Choi Mun Do's assistant betrayed him, and what the heck was the extras actress trying to pull? The ending was underwhelming for Mun Do in both Joseon and present era, like after all these pains he didn't taste his own medicine.

The highlight of the show? It's obviously the casts performance. Lim Ji Yeon succesfully pulled a ruthless-emotionless (and old-fashioned) woman. All the casts here successfully increased your blood pressure in their own way. The ost for this show is really good.

Should you watch it? Yeah, it's quite refreshing. Especially if you want to see how a common cliche build ups got twisted in a unique way.

Muchos cabos sueltos

Puede ser que me distrajera, pero no llegué a entender todo lo de la reencarnación/vidas pasadas, ¿Porque los del presente eran iguales a los del pasado? ¿Entonces Seori ya había viajado en el tiempo? Me sentí todo el rato como Homer aquí: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSR6rFnG-98
Tampoco entendí lo de la figurante que de la nada empezó a meterse con Seori. ¿Por qué? ¿Por envidia? ¡Pero si la intentó envenenar!
Lo mejor para mi el protagonista, me encanta cuando los tíos caen rendidos. También tiene bastante escenas graciosas que me hicieron soltar alguna que otra carcajada.
Lo que si no me gustó fue la actuación de la actriz principal en el presente. ¿Por qué actuaba como si fuera una niña? Entiendo que tenía que parecer desconcertada, pero en muchas ocasiones parecía estúpida. Se movía como si fuera un extraterrestre. Y los outfits, dios mío, qué cosa tan horrible. También estoy un poco cansada de estas comedias románticas estilo disney. No digo que tengan que mostrar nada eh, pero ¿esperar hasta casi el último capítulo para darte a entender que estuvieron juntos? ¿Es necesario que ella esté tiesa como un palo cuando se abrazan?
En fin, no está mal, engancha, pero podría haber sido mucho mejor.

Finally, the revenge K-drama we actually deserved!

TEACH YOU A LESSON was one of my most anticipated dramas this year, and it absolutely did not disappoint! If you are sick and tired of shows where the villains get away with everything until the very last minute, you need to watch this right now. It is one of the most incredibly satisfying viewing experiences I’ve had in a long time.

The series dives deep into a world where the ultra-rich and their spoiled kids think they are completely untouchable, believing their money and status place them way above the law.

The first episode kicks off with a massive start, and from there, the plot settles into a highly engaging case-by-case format, exposing one troubled school after another. Across 10 episodes, the drama masterfully tackles major school-related crimes, including physical violence, substance abuse, cybercrimes, stalking, defamation, and scams.

Why you will love it
Pure, direct justice: There is no room for absurd forgiveness or letting the bad guys slide. Every single hater, bully, and "privileged" brat gets put exactly where they belong in the most epic way possible.

Absolute satisfaction: Every single episode feels like a massive win. Watching these rich kids lose their masks of superiority and seeing their empire of arrogance crumble is deeply addictive.

Relentless pacing: It doesn't waste time beating around the bush. It gets straight to the point and keeps your adrenaline pumping from start to finish.

Verdict: A brilliant, cathartic, and damn satisfying drama. If you are looking for a show where justice is served cold right to the faces of those who think they own the world, Teach You a Lesson is an absolute must-watch!

The most NCs I've seen in a Japanese BL

This drama is literally a NC fest😂😂 at 1st I was like did they add it for views but apparently the manga is the same. It has NC every single episode without miss. It's good for a short drama. The story is decent and the acting is good too. If you're wondering why the rating is soo low apparently it's cz the actors are ugly which I don't agree with.

The makeup was a little too dewy but overall it's an easy watch. Skip it if too much NCs bother you. I didn't expect soo much NC cz the poster looked cute😅😅 so.

If you've read "Punch Drunk Love" this one is pretty similar😂😂 minus the oblivious uke.

Delivered successfully...

Special Delivery was a pretty enjoyable watch from start to finish. The premise is interesting enough to keep things moving, and the action scenes are slick, entertaining, and easy to get invested in. I also loved having a strong female lead at the center of the story. She carries the film well and brings the right amount of toughness and charisma to make the ride worthwhile.

That said, this isn't the kind of movie that completely blows your mind or leaves a lasting emotional impact. The story does its job, the action delivers, and the pacing keeps things engaging, but it doesn't necessarily offer anything groundbreaking. It's one of those films where you'll have a good time while watching, but you might struggle to recall the finer details a few months later.

Overall, I'd still say it's worth the watch. If you're looking for a straightforward action thriller with cool fight scenes, chase sequences, and a capable female lead kicking butt, Special Delivery delivers exactly what it promises. Sometimes that's all a movie needs to do.

I cried so much but still felt good

This series makes you smile, laugh, cry, angry.
I always like bittersweet crying series where you cry but hopeful, not ugly crying and feeling the plot overly sad and difficult to swallow.
At least 2 key scenes made me cry.
It was so satisfying. You cry but you don't feel overly down because you're sure things will be alright in the end.
Very good acting from the main and supporting actors. Day is very believable, you're kinda annoyed by him but can't help to want to root for him. You can tell Mhok's actor is very deep into the role. Porjai is very beautiful. Night can represent the hit close to home feeling for some audience.
The OST. The moment you hear the OST you lock in. This OST bring you inside last twilight world instantly.
The ending can be knitted more tightly and beautifully, but well. The 90% before is more than enough to make this one of my favorite series and ignore the last part. At least you folk don't experience the hurt of some ending out there which is so abrupt and saddening it ruined the whole series. This ending, while not perfect, is hopeful and leave you feeling good. The director is famous for making very very very good series with high emotional value but rushed ending anyway. Maybe he'll find a better formula someday. I'm willing to forgive it for that key climax scene.
Overall, the series is very good it neutralize the rushed ending.

Shadows that need a light to give them shape.

☑️ The plot for the first 10 episodes: 6.5-7/10.
🔸️Just so and so. I mostly used 2x speed during my watching.

✅️ The plot for the last 19 episodes: 8- 8.5/10.
🔸️It took me 10 episodes for me to fully engage with the plot.
🔸️I enjoyed the story better when our leads were trapped in the Star Stone's illusion. I liked Wu Shi Guang and Wu Wang Yan's story more than the main couple's. Their story gave me feelings the main couple hadn't. The chemistry & the spark between the two were electric. The couple exuded a more mature vibe, and their love developed so naturally that it was believable and tugged at my heartstrings.
🔸️Lu Wu Yi's and Ji Ling's story was just okay to me. Their scenes that made me feel the most were when Lu Wu Yi went back 150 years in the past for Ji Ling. What happened there… was truly heart-wrenching. Poor Ji Ling and Lu Wu Yi. Till now, I still remember the pain from those episodes 😭😭.
🔸️The flow of the story in the last 1/3rd was quite complex and confusing because the past revelations were done bit by bit. We went back and forth from the past (50 years, 150 years, 1000 years) to the present; many things were hard to understand. I felt so dumb while watching 😂. Of course, you won't be as confused when the puzzle of the story is completed later. You just got to be patient...

✅️ The acting: 8-8.5/10.
🔸️I enjoyed Joseph Zeng's, Chen Du Ling's, and Tian Jia Rui's acting the most. Since Feud, I liked Joseph Zeng's acting . I have no more doubt about Chen Du Ling's acting after watching her in The Glory and now, this drama. Tian Ji Rui did not impress in MJTY and FOF, but here, he slayed his roles as Ji Ling and Dragon Deity. My opinion of Ju Jing Yi's acting is the same. It is still 50:50. Sometimes I feel her character, but sometimes, not.

✅️ Cinematography, Costumes, OST: 8.5-10/10.
🔸️Knowing this director, you would instantly know the aesthetic would be spectacular 🤌, even prior to your watching.
🔸️The OST took me a while to get used to, but most of them were pleasant to listen to. My favorite: Time Woven in Mist by Xin Liu (Wu Shi Guang + Wu Wang Yan's theme song)

Others:

I can't help but compare this drama with Fangs of Fortune. The latter left a bad taste in my mouth even after nearly 2 years post-watching. It made me doubt this director, Edward Guo. So I didn't place high expectations when I started in this drama. I was ready to drop this at any time. But man, I was glad I was wrong. I enjoyed this drama more than I expected to.

short, disappointing but realistic

I was expecting a reconciliation, but no...
Not really recommended. Questions remain unanswered, no happy ending, normal Story.
They could have made something better out of it. But there are worse ones ig?...

edit: But viewed from another perspective, it's realistic, and it's not always easy for gay men either. Plus points
