Unfortunately, after watching My Only Love Song I can only give it a 5 out 10 rating... There are so many better dramas to invest time in... this is not one I will be watching again.
Since I have not seen this mentioned....Side note for parents: This drama is rated for a Mature-14 audience , which is not surprising since most Kdramas are rated for ages 15 and up in Korea. Unlike most k-dramas I have watched in the past.... F@^k and other colorful words are a repeatedly part of the dialog... If you are watching this when younger children who can "read" and they are in the room with you just be aware.

Time travel is and will forever be a fantasy, physicists say. But fantasies can tell us more about human desires and dreams than discouraging facts.
This is what happens in "Kimi to 100 Kaime in Koi" the movie has no pseudoscience is totally without physical logic. The film expresses the common and eternally frustrated desire to turn back time as easily as restarting a clock, with a melodramatic script about to thrill.
In the same way the film has cinematic movements in height, its history faithfully reflects the unbearable truth that he (protagonist) must finally face, although he does not present this truth with much subtlety. And the types of literal mentality can disrupt the logical moments of the film's narrative, which is close to the "surreal" category but also clearly expresses the truth. Good movie!

STORY: This writing for this series was all over the place; it was sci-fi, dark, fantasy, romantic comedy, and more. What the synopsis didn't make clear is that Adam loves Ah-Zhai who loves Pei Ni (Penny) who loves Adam. There's a lot of humor and awkward situations because of this love triangle.ACTING/CAST: Bai Shu (Ah-Zhai) is a very good actor, very expressive. Cai Wen Jing (Pei Ni) is a very good actress; she played multiple, and very different, personalities.
MUSIC: I liked both the opening and closing songs of this show.
REWATCH VALUE: I didn't have much of a reason to revisit Season 1 but Season 2 is so much better.
OVERALL: Read my spoiler in the comments section if you want my opinion about the BL in this show.

Rewatchable value : I gave it a 9 for the simple reason that yes I would watch it sometime later not so soon just thinking about it makes me cry of the way things ended even though I know it had to end like that to be memorable in our minds, I recomend this story a lot give it chance watch it and prepare toilet paper or towel for the tears that out of nowhere you'll experience without even noticing even if you think I may have spoiled something when you watch the story you won't feel spoiled because everyone has a different opinion you'll get emerged in the story you'll feel like you're there with them experiencing love and pain and dispare and all the above with the actors.

The lakorn is mediocre, first the storyline is typical and follows through. There's the mafia boss from Hong Kong, falls in love with the girl, abducts her, but more like her father used her as a collateral to get money so.. etc. etc. Of course we get the typical plots of misunderstandings, lots of going back in forth between the actual lover and the ex-lover, and lots of scheming between the evil people.The characters- the pran'ek has the typical mafia guy traits, he's lovable, playful, gets blinded from the truth, sometimes he's rough, etc. I hated how like other pran'ek it's so hard for them to just cut off the evil lady from their life, like OMG it's either ""responsibility or love"", HATED it so much
The niang'ek---her character is pretty much similar to other niang'ek characters that you see in a ""Mafia/Kidnapping lakorns"" The only thing that I enjoyed from her character is that she had one likable trait. She can be tough in some situations. She argues, retaliates, and beats up the nang'rak. It's just enjoyable to see how she doesn't back down from the evil ladies or whoever that messes with her, but when it comes to the pran'ek she's like weak to him.
Of course as we get near the end of the lakorn you'll come to notice the niang'ek just becomes so weak and annoying (just my opinion)
Overall there are cute scenes here and there, enjoyable scenes, etc. It's not that bad of a lakorn nor was it the best. I would recommend watching it and fast skipping over the boring parts LOL.

I Really found this unnecessary so as I got to the last episode, like really this is the last episode yet they just really had to plug in the "memory loss" plot line into it. Like OMG I found that soooo unnecessary

ACTING/CAST: 10/10 The cast they got are talented. They played their rolls well, and were believable. There seemed to be an honest connection between both younger and older actors. Whether it is romantic off screen or not doesn't particularly matter to me; nothing kills a show faster than two actors who just cannot stand each other.
MUSIC: 10/10; another reviewer had it dead on: if I could give it an 11, or higher, I totally would. The opening song is gorgeous, the theme song is sweet, and it just helps everything flow together. I would almost go so far as to say that the quality is almost movie-like, for all that it is a short web series.
REWATCH VALUE: 9.5/10; This is the only one where it's a little shorted. I feel like the story is definitely open and waiting to be expanded, but I'm not sure how many times I'm going to be able to sit through that open ending without going nuts. I will definitely, TOTALLY, rewatch it again at some point, though. This seems like a good go-to series if I want something intense but short.
OVERALL: 10/10; loved this series. I hope more people enjoy it, too!

Although I love Kim Myung Min even before this drama, I fell in love in Yoo Ah in's acting in this drama.
Before this , I dislike him because he seems arrogant.
In spite of my love for SKKS, I didn't recognize him there in it.
I heard bad reviews for Fashion king and JOJ. For SLL, I don't like affairs afterall.
Truth to be told, I don't know why I completely turn into a fan( from mini anti) after this drama.

First of all, Eternal Love is a very good drama. It keeps you engaged and you’re almost never bored. You care for the characters and even if you don’t like some of the characters, others will most certainly capture your interest and heart.
The CGI is pretty awful, especially when it comes to creatures, but after a while you get used to it and you stop thinking about how fake everything looks. You start to enjoy the story for what it is instead.
The storytelling pace is close to perfect almost all the way throughout the drama, except for the ending that is extremely rushed. Major parts of the ending feels like quick fixes and you don’t get a chance to really grasp what’s happening emotionally. For me the ending was to 90% a disappointment.
I also think that the main characters Ye Hua and Su Su/Bai Qian can be rather dull at times and boring to watch. The actors were great and most of the time their story was entertaining enough, but not enough to make my heart beat for them or care.
I know that Ye Hua is a good person, I liked him to some extent, but some scenes when he tries to be intimate med with Bai Qian I think he’s bordering to rape or at least sexual abuse. She tries to leave, he holds her against her will, kisses her even though she tries to stop him and looks incredibly uncomfortable and so on. Some scenes when they’re in bed are the same, he’s very pushy and persuades her to be more intimate with him.
The evil antagonists in the drama are very square, predictable and lack real personalities. It’s okay though because their sole purpose is to make life hard for the “real characters”, but it would’ve been nice if they were at least a little bit interesting.
With all of that said, for me the drama was good. I watched it mostly because of some of the side characters and the story itself, and that was enough to keep me interested to the end. It’s definitely worth a watch!

When it comes to J-dramas, I would fall into the 'beginner' category. So while I won't be able to tell you how good or bad it was as compared to other typical J-dramas, I'll try my best to tell you what I enjoyed in this drama.
THE STORY:
The plot-line of the drama is certainly a unique one. It's not everyday you see a drama where God Himself appears to help two people fall in love.
The drama follows Makoto who seemingly has the worst luck when it comes to women. It's not until a person claiming to be God appears before him that he finds out why. According to God, Makoto's bad luck in women is because he hasn't met his 'soul-mate' yet. Imagine his surprise when he finds out that his destined person works in the same office building as him, and they have met several times before, even without both of them knowing. Now, when it comes to making her fall in love with him, well, that's no easy feat, giving the fact that she cringes at the word 'destiny' alone.
THE CHARACTERS:
There are 3 main characters for this- Makoto (male lead), Haruko (female lead) and God.
-Makoto's character was a dedicated one. He was ready to do just about anything to make Haruko fall in love. And not just with her, his efforts to win over Haruko's dad as well as her best friend, were really commendable.
-Haruko's character may seem a bit annoying, at first, given that she pushes away our main lead repeatedly, when we know that he's such a good person. But try to imagine the situations from her perspective. A stranger comes along, and says stuff about them being 'destiny', her reaction was completely logical. Ofcourse, the circumstances in which her previous relationship ended, sure didn't help the situation, either. Despite of it all, she came to know him as a person and finally
-God's character was....awesome. He was my favorite character in the drama. And that's all I can say without spoiling anything.
-The supporting characters like Sadaoka, Sekihara, Mitsue etc, were also really interesting to watch. Specially their comedy parts.
THE PACING:
-The drama consisted of only 10 episodes. And the pacing was good.
-The twist they pulled out in the last few ep...Did not see it coming. It was perfect.
-
THE CON(s):
- Even though I understood the decisions the female lead male, her character was still somewhat frustrating. It just felt like her indecisive phase stretched for a bit too long.
-Unfortunately, for me, the bromance eclipsed the romance part of the drama. Although, that's not to say that the romance part was not interesting. But more like, I loved the bromance way more than the romance.
-This one is not really a con, but I wish they'd shown more of Ichirou in the last ep.
All in all, this was an enjoyable watch. I hope you give this a try.
Happy Watching!
