A realistic youth life story

Some of my relatives dropped this serial at the 14th episode, but i continued it until the end. Well it burst out all my tears.. ig

Na Heedo as the main lead here is a very hardworking fencing athlete, she is ready to fight anything for it. It represents the teenager phase of chasing dream and the phase when the path is never flat. However, her journey to success also has some romantic and heartwarming friendship stories. The friendship story is really a thing for me, even at the end of their highschool era when they separate to different ways, they still stick together sometimes. Also Ko Yurim is also an inspiring character. The whole plot would relate to people in their highschool era, 20s fighting for work after college, or some newbie intern workers who are still having hundreds of complaints and mistakes, and it's not a cliché one. But if you only highlight the main lead romance.. i suggest you to watch until the 14th episode :) in my opinion, this drama isn't only about Heedo and Yijin, but also youth spirit and hardworking journey to success.

Curse those wontons

I searched everywhere (and I mean Everywhere) for this drama. If you’re part of any government or law enforcement agency please stop reading.

I met this random dude on the interweb (username: C0mpl3t3_8ull5h1t) and he told me he just wanted some feet pics. Granted I had to watch it without English subtitles but it’s okay because I have a doctorates in longing stares and lustful eyes.

From the Cinematography, costumes, soundtrack and acting everything was beautiful! And it was UNCENSORED!!!!!!!!!! Girl when I saw Taxian-jun had Chu wanning chained up I was just as GAGGED as Shizun. The way they had Mo Ran eat them wontons *insert giggling emoji*

There was one scene that could have used better CGI but I understand the money needed to go to Chu Wannings hair. I hadn’t felt this emotional since The Untamed, Eternal Faith and Word of Honor<3

The show was a 10/10!!!!!
Can you believe after I gave that man feet pics he called “me weird.” Me weird? He said I could’ve just used a VPN. Anyways giving it a 9.5 because of the long wait and no English subtitles.

DEFINITELY A COMFORT MOVIE

been watching for at least 3 times!! the plot is so good, every scene is not boring!! moreover the visuals are soo good!! NEED a season 2 ASAP!!

the conflicts is not so heavy which is why it is definitely a comfort movie that you can watch it over and over again. it is very relatable and realistic, especially in the e-sport industry. it does not over dramatize which a lot of other chinese series did.

also lets talk about the visuals! where else can you find XK & zhou yiran in the same moviee!! ++ every individual has its own charisma and unique traits which is why you wouldnt find it boring!!

DEF RECOMMENDDD !!

My first Cdrama that I watched until the very end.

First of all, Yes yes yes
I've watched over 50 Chinese dramas and I completed none of them, I just skimmed through the episodes. But with this one, I enjoyed every single minute-second moment.
The story was mind-blowing and made me pull all-nighters to finish it 😭
The ending could be better if they just showed a little tiny hug or hand-holding moment but nvm I loved it.
The chemistry was fire. Lord xiwu made me giggle everytime he smiled and yup he was so downnn for Hua Qian.
Zhou ye did an amazing job along with xingyue
Both of their characters were written beautifully.
I would recommend this drama hundreds of time no thousands of time🥹✨🫶

Heartfelt story

The timetravel dramas always be my favourite. This is one of my favourites. Even i was confused by the timestamps of their soul timetravel (yes they don't travel physically but just their soul) , i can understand it at the end. Jeon Yeobeen really did great by portraying two characters with totally different personality (and how could she still fits as a highschooler in her 30s??? queen certified fr). Nam Siheon is also a very warming character, I gonna cry everytime I listen to the song (Gather my Tears by Seo Jiwon).. i really recommend this drama.

I’m a prisoner of love

Very melodramatic, but absurd to the point of being entertaining. The intermittent clips of motocross in between very serious scenes, and scenes of domestic violence was fun. That there were like five songs in constant rotation got to be really funny too. Overall, it was nice to see topics that otherwise seem to be a bit taboo in Japan. At least from my media-based impressions of the country.

Also, Takeru is such a good guy; I don't think I could've finished the show without him. He is an angel and an agent of justice, and anyone who has a friend like that in their life should consider themselves blessed. Sousuke was a great villain and comic relief :'(

If you just want to watch a show to pass the time (or study Japanese), it's a fine choice. Easy to follow, kind of heartwarming, and strange enough to hold interest. If you want something thoughtfully put together, nicely shot, scored, etc. though, I'd say to look elsewhere.

I love it silly. But their are so many plot holes it drives me mad.

Okay, first of all this show is a slay. Like, I’m in love with all the characters and the actors, and that secret relationship we all know their secretaries are having. I adore everything. But apart from the good character building and grade comedic queues that the show has, I can’t really see anything further. For example, the whole family drama, not interested in the slightest. Or the whole thing with his superpowers and the guy in a mask? Interesting, but doesn’t hold my attention. Is like the writers spent so much time in building the perfect relationships between our ml and fl, that they kind rushed over the whole world building part. Which I can’t complain, cuz I love ‘em, but I wish I saw more angst in the other areas of the show. And, obviously, the show is still pretty new-just halfway through- but I’m still expecting something more gasp inducing to happen.


*posted the same thing on the ep guide for ep 8. Didn’t mean to and I can’t figure out htf I’m suppose to delete it 🤷🏾‍♀️*

Better then Scarlet Heart Ryeo

people are saying this is CDrama version of Scarlet Heart Ryeo. NO it is not.
you will love all the character. ALL THE CHARACTERS. theyre officially BangTan Seonyeondan of Wuxia going on a suicide mission with a badass lady and her badass disciple.
you join them in their journey, got attached, and they all will die at the end. BEAUTIFULLY.

those who said it is open ended; NO it is not.
the child is not NYZ+RRY child, he is a symbol that even after 10 years, those who you love will always be in your memories and their traces is anywhere. you will reminisce them from time to time. you will be reminded of them in everything you do.
he is a reminder to us that a good drama journey will end, and that in future you will meet another great drama having same good details from old one.

O q é esse jogo?

Eu nao tava dando nada pra esse reality show e dei com a lingua nos dentes! Meu deus esse é um dos melhores programas que ja assisti em muito tempo. As provas foram geniais e sempre colocando os participantes em situações de cooperação e provar sua capacidade sobre algum ponto relaciinado a conhecimentos ou conversas dialogadas com os demais. A escolha do elenco foi perfeita, não tem um integrante que não tenha participado ou tentado se desenvolver ao longo dos jogos. A final, para mim, não importava quem vence-se pois todos foram muito bem durante o percurso do programa.

Best c-drama of 2023 (without a doubt)

If you haven’t watched this, do yourself a favor and clear a few hours or 10. This is probably the only drama I’ll rewatch from this year. Badass female lead, badass male lead. Fantastic everything. A journey to love is just *chef’s kiss*.

First costume drama (ever??) with a healthy relationship between the ML and FL. I wish all women (and men if that’s your thing) can have a Boss Ning in their life. The casting is just so, so, so, good. I miss the squad. I’m mentally preparing for them to die. But good news! Go back to episode 1 and there they are all again! I hope this comes to Netflix so the world can see how good Liu Yu Ning and rest of crew are. I hope they cast him as an immortal somewhere. And throw in the squad please! Seems to be a happy ending, or so I’m going to interpret all the reviews so far.

I AM SO MAD WITH THE ENDING!!!!!!!

Perfect drama. such a whirlwind of emotions but the plot is well done but there should have been an additional episode to tie up loose ends. the ending doesn’t really make sense and there should have been a flash to the future where it shows how they’ve been doing. Overall great drama but i should introduce you to my one major qualm that is dropping this drama a whole 0.5 stars. I AM SO MAD. INJOO X DOIL NEVER HAPPENED. I AM FUMING THE ACTORS HAD SO MUCH CHEMISTRY AND I SHIPPED THEM SO BADLY. WHY COULDNT THEY END UP TOGETHER F U DIRECTOR. I AM SO MAD.

funny and enjoying

overall i really loved this drama. the story is very original and the potential it had was insane, however i think in the second half it became a bit repetitive and the rhythm slowed a bit, i was more curios about the secondary characters other than the main protagonists, and i think they could focus a lot more on the background stories that were very interesting, i would loved to learn more about them.
i enjoyed it a lot!! and i had a lot of fun but i would not rewatch it.
one thing i want to say, or better two things, rowoon was amazing and the osts for these drama are absolutely beautiful!!

It's a Journey that will stick with me for a long time.

What an experience The Journey to Love drama was. I don't think I have ever cared so much for so many characters in a drama before like this one. Usually 4 characters at the most lol. The casting is superb. Each character was so perfectly casted and each played the role to their fullest.

What a beautiful drama about love, friendship, loyalty, revenge and power. Their acting of joy, grief, obsession, love, self-confidence, insecurity, you name it, was so so so well done. It was palpable. The music was outstanding and highlighted their good and bad moments. Perfect for the emotional toll I went through watching each scene.

Another strong point about this drama is the character development which I believe added to my caring so deeply for each of these characters. Characters I didn't like, developed into characters that I hoped would stay safe in battle. Highly recommended.

Comfort.

I love this. First and Khaotung are such an amazing pair and the whole Suppalo situation is really good. I love the OST too, it's so good and relaxing to hear. There's not much to say, I just really love this, and I love the way they wrote Akk's character so you can really feel like he's trying to find comfot and acceptance in his sexuality and the fact that Aye realizes it and doesn't rush things is just comforting to watch.

Love the drama.

Love SandRay and the pool scene with Boing, this show is pretty much problematic people trying to put their shit together while being depressed and drunk I guess but still love it.
