I started watching this movie as Nana fan and boy did i cry when the story end. This movie is the 2nd movie after Your Name that has an effect to me this year. The first half of the movie describes the happiness that couple share together, featuring the beautiful streets of Kyoto. The storytelling is so good, that when the two see each other for the first time, you feel nervous with them. Then, when they officially start to date, you feel butterflies in your stomach!! In short, it is a love story that makes you blush and fall in love with the characters for me. The second half is when you start having the feeling. Like the title suggest, the lead will meet up with each other significance with the opposite time.

It will also question whether if we know everything in the future already, Will we still do the same? The answer for me is yes because 'happiness is still happiness'. We still remember that moment as 'happiness' because everything changes but happiness is always in the corner of time.

This movie is one of the best bittersweet love story for this new generation and you will most likely cry after the movie end . Japan has really step up their movie industry with so many quality movie released.

Goblin is the very first KDrama I’ve ever watched and I’m so glad about it. Honestly, even now that I have watched a few more dramas, I still think that Goblin is the best Drama ever.

First of all, the storyline is very unique and sweet. From the very first episode it pushes you to the edge of your seat and makes you feel with the characters. Although the episodes run up to 90 minutes, I never felt like they were trying to protract the story.
In addition, the actors’ excellent performance make a major contribution to this circumstance. It is inevitable to not feel any emotional attachment to the characters. I can’t even count how often they made me laugh out loud or shed litres of tears.

The chemistry of the two couples is so intense, sweet and tragic that it even made my heart flutter. The Goblin and Eun Tak as well as Sunny and The Grim Reaper are just so sweet together. You can’t get enough of them. Besides that, the bromance of the Grim Reaper and the Goblin is just spectacularly hilarious. In my opinion, it is definitely one of the best parts of this Drama. I replayed their scenes just way too often.

All in all, Goblin is definitely a must see drama. If you haven’t watch it yet… what are you waiting for? You won’t regret it and I’m sure you will love it as much as I do. I can’t even express the emptiness I felt in my heart after finishing this show.

What can I say? I was really looking forward for this drama. The main male actors are people that I've been following since they debuted and I've also followed Park Bo Young for a couple of years now;not because of the trends or recent popularity, but because I do believe they have great acting skills.

I really loved the story in the beggining. The antagonist role is one that I have not seen in any other romcom drama (or at least not one that I remember), so for the first episodes it intrigued me, it captivated me and I wanted to watch them all in one sitting if they were all available at the moment. But as the story got closer to the middle I believe it started to lose its focus and concentrated, instead, on the super cringy relationship between the leads (seriously guys, I sometimes skipped their parts because I couldn't bare to watch it lol but then again that may be only me)

So once that happened I also started to get bored. last episodes became harder to watch for me and sometimes I just forgot about the drama for days or even weeks and then came back to see it because I didn't like leaving things unfinished lol.

The ending was absolutely predictable, but thet was okay by me, nothing wrong in there, I like simple and happy endings. But the female lead became even more clingy at the end (which I didn't think it was possible), kinda ignorant for my taste, and it sort of destroyed her own image of a strong woman who needs no man to save the world and catch bad guys when she had to rely on her rich boyfriend to give her a job, which was a huuuuuuuge disappointment to me and then led me to rate the drama as I just did.

In conclusion, its a good drama for those who do not care about reaaaaaally cringey scenes involving an almost 30 year old woman who acts like a child, for those who are happy with the story losing its focus on the antagonists, and for those who also do not care about characters that are supposed (I believe) to empower woman and end up being a disappointment.

Amami Yuki is phenonmenal as always in every role she plays, but this lively chef who holds an unbeatable, upbeat attitude, is the best. She excels in playing tough women who overcomes all odds, while holding court with her special aura and her awesome skills in the characters that she plays.
This drama is mouthwatering with the food on display, and many scenes of her cooking. A French chef who met her downfall (orchestrated by her business partner), she nonetheless lived for one reason, and that is her insatiable love for cooking. She charged ahead despite obstacles at every turn, and manages to overcome them because her passion for cooking brought out the best in the food, and people loved her, and her cooking, for it. For every artist who lives for their craft, this drama is a gem that presents this aspect of life extremely well.
The main villain, the restaurant owner of La Reina, is a perplexing character hellbent on destroying her for no apparent reason. The other supporting characters are mostly just silly and fill in the blanks needed for an audience for all the shenanigans. Good thing the drama focuses on the chef and not on these side characters.
I would have loved to have school lunches cooked by a 3 star chef everyday! American school lunches are worse than dirt, never mind gourmet cuisine. Aside from feeling envy of the adults who queue up for the food, I envy the kids who eat her cooking everyday. Wish that somewhere in real life, someone like her decides on public service!
This drama maintains a good pace and never sags. The music is nondescript though, so don't expect much. All in all, an excellent food drama.

I really enjoyed the first 12 episodes and then I guess the writers said, "Screw that! All the previous episodes don't mean a damn thang! Let's try something else." Don't get me wrong! I don't mind unconventional endings but this sucked. I was really let down. It was as if all the drama and shit that happened in the previous episodes was for nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. I propose a 15th episode where the supporting cast members (minus the one who was killed) from the previous episodes converge on Taipei and beat the living shit out of the romantic leads, a gesture symbolizing the anger fans have towards the writers, after receiving no return on their emotional investment in this show.
Oh yeah! If hot Taiwanese women think Jerry Huang is good looking then I'm living in the wrong fuckin' country! A one-way ticket to Taiwan, please!

First of all, this drama is a remake of the movie, and so far, I have never been this impressed. The drama sorts of giving the same vibe as the movie's. I love the casts, even the straight couple like Min and Wan, Pan and Fah. Newwie has brought the best acting out of all, and the chemistry of his with Earthe totally livens up the mood of the story. The plot is different than the movie's except for some raw facts regarding Earthe's character as Wai, and also Newwie's as Apo. I'm hoping that they will produce a second season because I'm hyped for their moments at the university. The movie left us hanging, and I was hoping too much that they will make a sequel for it, but it really didn't happen. I hope the series will not disappoint me in that way. LOL

I have to say this, I truly had such high expectations for this second season. The first episode was good enough and I liked it how they're already focusing on the side casts more to compare than the first one. But as it goes further on the later episodes, the plot is going nowhere. It seems like it goes back to square one with how Tee and Fuse's relationship seems so hard to be true, and the side casts are put aside. Frame and Book has a better plot but still not satisfying that much. I think the theme of having a thirdwheeler in each relationship is just a waste of energy. I'm sorry, but still if you followed up for the first season, you can just give yourself a try

Here's a thing of my opinion on why you must watch this series out of many. The storyline is sorta interesting like Sotus, because it is well-plotted, and not just a fling to satisfy fangirls' or fanboys' needs. To be honest, in the first episode, everything will be awkward because we are not familiar with these actors but as the time goes on, we'll be attached to it due to the chemistry they have. I love how they progress the relationship of the three main couples, and I have to admit that I love Ming and Kit's relationship.

If you're contemplating either to watch it or not, please don't have any doubts. This story deserves the best from you. It will never disappoint you, like how Make It Right has disappointed many. I've always been looking forward for this series every week. And this is the only series that has confirmed too soon that they will have Season 2 and a possibility of Season 3. There's more to this story instead of watching them having their own bubbly moments as a group of 6 boys who are in love. I hope this review will be helpful to you! Enjoy!

I love sweet romances full of kisses and cuteness and fluff, and I like Sung Hoon's appearance, his deep voice, and the way he makes handles every romance scene. That man could make me believe he's in love, he's a businessman, and he's charming.

Those are my purely frivolous reasons for rating this an 8.

It had everything that I liked so I rated it accordingly. When looking for stuff to watch, I don;t always want deep plot lines to go with the romance, just good plotlines.

This had a good plot (fluffy, but good), and it was maybe an episode too long, but who doesn't like longer when there's an abundance of kisses added to the long bits? I have to say, I adored the characters here, not only because Cha Jin Wook stood firm with his feelings on his girl. Not once did he give up on her.

Hearts all around!!

New to watching Japanese Dramas so I love the fact the story is usually 11 episodes and I can binge watch. This drama was a surprise -- it was unique in all the right places. I enjoyed the coming of age aspects that were so real and emotional. Every character had flaws but every character caused the viewer to become "vested" or "divested". Life is complicated-- not perfect and the story writer and director planted a seed that transformed into a tree that grew branches -- then flowered - some flowers are weak or ugly and others were beautiful and strong. I felt like I watching a handbook on growing up and adapting to life's realities. Some scenes were not for the faint of heart. If I had a young teenage daughter I would sit down with her and watch this drama together.-- lots of talking points.

This little drama was cute and heartbreaking. I swear I cried for the entirety of episodes 4-8.

I loved seeing the story from both characters perspectives. I really enjoyed watching Yoo Tak's character development. It's amazing how much they were able to show in such short episodes.

The storyline was super interesting as well. I definitely wasn't expecting anything that happened. I won't say anything more so there's not spoilers. But there was no predicting this drama honestly.

What did fall a little short was L's acting. He's definitely gotten better but it was still a little hammed up. Especially in the first two episodes. I just didn't find it very believable.

I also think episode 3 dragged a little bit story wise. It almost made me drop the drama. For a drama with a very short episode length and not a lot of episodes. It felt like they were wasting times and being a little too repetitive. But episode 4 and the rest of the drama definitely made getting past that worth it.

Overall, this was a cute, quick, and heartbreaking watch with a deliciously open ended final episode.

I've watched over over 50 dramas in the 8 years I've been watching them and by far A Gentleman's dignity is my favorite.

Honestly, there's so much to love about this drama. It's not overly tropey. The characters act their age most of the time. Misunderstandings aren't major plot points. It has some cheesy moments but what drama doesn't.

I equally love all the characters. They feel like real people going about their lives. They have flaws but what person doesn't.

I could go on for ages about what I love about this drama. But what it comes down to is that for it's the perfect drama. I've rewatched it several times and each time I find new things to love.
