Reviews

Average and cliche romcom. Overrated because of famous cast.

Just average romcom drama, with unnecessary scene to extend the duration and episode's of the drama.
I'm really looking forward to this drama because it has Wang Churan as the FL, but the choice of the male lead to play the role was not quite right, the good things in this drama just the comedy from main leads.
Slow-burn romance story, whenever a conflict arises (which I think includes a lot of unimportant things), the resolution is always rushed and made overly melodramatic.
The story are boring and cliche, actually there is no need for this drama to have as many as 36 episodes.

The chemistry between the two leads doesn't feel romantic at all, it feels more like a sibling dynamic.
The scriptwriter cannot portray a couple who love each other and choose one another. As a result, scriptwriters introduced elements of misunderstanding, a lack of communication, and work-related issues, leading to a silly resolution that felt forced.

And what the heck scriptwriter did to the other couple, treating them as if they were unimportant and merely there to pad out the episode's runtime. Only made the drama even worse.

Sometimes, a talented actor like Wang Churan and others famous actors ends up in a mediocre production. It wasn't because of an inability to act or a mistake in choosing the drama, it was simply because it was a job.

A female-led revenge, with themes of women empowerment

Stop. I get it now.

I finally understand why people love this drama so much.

Going into The Glory, all I knew was that it was a female-led revenge drama with very little romance, and that the romance itself would be a toxic enemies-to-lovers relationship.

Turns out it was so much more.

I love stories where women take center stage, and this drama delivers exactly that. The female cast is phenomenal. Every woman feels distinct, complex, and deeply flawed in her own way.

Best of all, they're treated like actual human beings.

They're allowed to make terrible decisions. They're allowed to be selfish. They're allowed to fail. They're allowed redemption.

From the mother consumed by vengeance, to the scheming concubine forever plotting her next move, to the female lead's half-sister hopelessly in love with the male lead, every woman has her own motivations and desires.

♧ And then there's Zhuang Hanyan herself. An angel's face with the mind of a devil. Absolutely loved her. 10/10 diva. No notes.

You know what I loved even more?

For once, this drama places the blame where it belongs.

With the M*N.

(Get it? It's a curse word. 😏)

Watching each of them meet the consequences of their own actions was endlessly satisfying. As they should. As they deserved.

What I appreciated most was that the story never lost sight of the system these women were trapped in. So many of the conflicts between women existed because they were forced to survive in a world designed by and for men. Instead of reducing them to jealous rivals, the drama shows how that system twists people, pits women against one another, and makes survival itself a competition.

♧ My absolute favourite part, though, was the mother-daughter relationships.

The bond between Zhuang Hanyan and her mother, and later the parallels between Hanyan and her own daughter...

Those scenes gave me chills.

The moment she recognizes that history could repeat itself, and then chooses differently, was beautiful. Half the times I cried were because of those mother-daughter moments. That dynamic gets me every single time.

● WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE:

The male lead.

He's... fine.

I understand his hesitation. I understand why he spent so long trying to keep his distance from Hanyan, and once they were married he consistently stood by her, protected her, and defended her whenever anyone tried to tarnish her reputation.

I respect him. I just never became emotionally attached to him. Even by the finale, my feelings towards him stayed pretty lukewarm.

And naturally, because I never really connected with him, the romance didn't do much for me either.

Thankfully, that's only a tiny portion of the story, maybe five percent at most.

● CONCLUSION:

The heart of The Glory is its revenge, its exploration of motherhood, the women at its centre, and the resilience they show despite everything stacked against them.

Those were the parts I absolutely adored.

Drama Masterpiece!

First of all, thank you South Korea for giving me an age appropriate thirst trap (and amazing actor) in Lee Jun-ho. Secondly, thank you to South Korea for making me a heart shattered romantic and teary eyed mess for two shows in a row. I watched “Red Sleeve” right after finishing “My Dearest” and I’m wreck (in a good way).

This would absolutely be a perfect 10 if the writers hadn’t included one unnecessary plot point. Being based on a true story there were a myriad of ways to insert tension get the story to where they needed it. I don’t have words to describe this but if you’re a true romantic at heart, who enjoys mature connection and understands that love simply isn’t always enough you should watch this one. Ignore the comments that nothing happens and they hate the female lead. Her behavior does get hard to watch especially as your heart breaks for them both but if you understand her why you’ll be in tears for them both.

I feel like I started crying between episode 11 and 12 and cried every episode until the end. But at the same time I didn’t want it to be over. I loved the imagined ending the writers gave us, our hearts needed the respite. But hopefully there is a writer out there creating a modern day love story for them. A story for their third lifetime where they meet in Hyochang Park and finally get what their story lacked - more time (after he obeys her wish in the previous life).

I thought this was supposed to be comforting

I thought they did a great job for most of the show and I felt like I went through all those tough times with the characters. Then ML was packed off to Switzerland. I guess Sam-dal had to succeed on her own without him telling her to chew and it was his dream but come on. They only just found each other again. Nope, suddenly they can do anything and cope.

And the next thing: no real closure on the villain character. I guess she got cancelled too but we could have revelled in it a bit.

Overall I found it a great watch until the end when I found myself very grumpy.

My no.1 series.

I believe this is the best series from gmmtheev. I'm rewatching me and Thee because of the upcoming special episodes, first episode uploaded while I rewatched this series. If there is 1 series that is stuck in my head it is Me and Thee. Everything about this is amazing, making it one of my top series all time. I don't think there's anything I can hate. My first time watching was when this was airing and every new episode I had moments that I carried with me all week. I'm a big Narawin and this made me even more invested. Ever since it started airing till now I have been thinking about this on a daily base, so this is realllyyyy your sign to watch it. I even forced all my friends to watch it but many refused to... :(

Let me just start by the music and ost. The songs are fucking amazing. I love how they brought back แค่ในวันนั้น (Truth in the Eyes), the ost from We are the series. This song is one of my favourite songs. I lovedddd Thee and Peach dancing to it. One of the most romantic songs I know for sure. The music in Me and Thee is so good aswell. Especially the music for the special season. I'm not even joking I listened to the song 54 times in a week. Also I loveee Me and You.

What I LOVE about Me and Thee and a detail missed by non Thai speakers is the wordplay. Translated, the sentences from Thee are already very good and funny but in Thai they just hit diffferent. I LOVEEEE THEES SENTENCES. Like "Good night, stubborn one. Go to sleep early. Don't be stubborn with that pillow you rest your dreams upon" is stuck in my head 24/7. All of Khun thee's sentences are just fucking iconic. Like Lookpeach is also a word with a meaning. It just makes the series more affectionate and cute. I don't want to make this review to long by breaking down all of their sentences but I do suggest looking them up online and you'll find the deeper meaning in to their word. Also Tang sati Khun Thee is just amazing and I love that song in their Me and Thee after party. The dance was so funny.

What I loveee is to see WilliamEst as side characters. Est is made for Mok. His role as Po was already amazing and to be honest it somehow feels kinda similar to Mok. I feel really bad for Rome, but also for Thee. Both brothers feel like their whole personality it made up by themselves. To be honest, Rome feels more attached to his mom meanwhile to my opinion, it feels like Thee was a bit neglected because he was sent away from his family. Which explains his obsession with his mom's opera. William was also made for this role and he was the one who made me feel bad for both brothers. He is a different type emotional than Thee. Also Pond and William as brothers is just amazing. I also love to see Bonnie in this and I heard Emi is joining in those special episodes so that is gonna be amazing!! She played Lookplub so well and the relationship between her and Peachayarat is adorable.

Ok hear me out, Phuwin is sooo fucking handsome. He has always been but him as peach just.. I get Khun Thee. Like wdym you can be beautiful all fucking shots. I love his expressions to much and if I have 1 celeb crush it has to be Phuwin. His visuals are just sooooo peak ugh. Yes, I had to write a paragraph about it. His hair falls amazing each time. Also I love Pond with shorter hair. I love how he as Peach did Photografy, it somehow really suited him.

The shots in this serie is fucking amazing. Ofcourse X Nuttapong directed this, as the goat should. I love his work soooooo much. I like reading a lot but I never heard of laWila and I do wanna see more of her work. I will try to find it somewhere. Also Ako Supaporn together with Nichakorn produced this. I don't know anything about Nichakorn but I do really like Ako. Like alllll of her series are good, not even joking. The whole crew and actors are just perfect.

One of the plot things I missed while it was airing is that Peach was shooting for ARSENI... how stupid of me. Genuinely how did I miss that? I was really sleepy or something when I started watching this for the first time. The second time, I keep finding details I missed hahaha. One thing I stayed confused about was PerthSanta's storyline. Like yes, Tawan and Aran broke up but I was confused why and that stays the same. To my guess it was Tawan being extremely jealous of Aran and Peach but still... Tawan was btw a hugeee red flag and I lowkey enjoy it (guilty as charged). I have to say I feel bad for Tawan aswell like his jealousy is toxic, yes, but he was clearly feeling bad about everything.

I love seeing JJ and Godji in this!! I feel like both JJ and AJ were really busy last year (2025), they were basically everywhere. And I feel like most fans are also very familiar with Godji. I have to say Godji makes me feel happy each time seeing her. I love actual representation. She always plays the same type of roles but she is kind of like the one who makes me relieved each series. Also JJ is sooo iconic. Same as Godji, he has the same type of role each time and it makes me laugh fucking loud. And I mean it. I loved how he caught Thee and Peach as first it was soo funny.

Love how it's edited and the transitions of shots. The little sounds are soo funny and add a feeling aswell, it doesn't feel overdone. I like how they styled it, the colour pallets are everything. Especially the house from Thee, it's amazing. I'm obsessed with it.

Pond was madeeee for this role. I love how the series has clear Consent. Even when Khun Thee kisses Peach he asks for permission first. Pond is genuinely soo good in acting as Thee you can tell he is enjoying it in the behind the scene's and in the series itself. Khun thee's dramatic reactions on things Peach says is everything. I really like how Peach can change Thee's behaviour. Like Thee does something he doesn't like and Thee listens to Peach when Peach tells him to stop. That propose made me laugh like crazyyy but many other moments were funny as hell to. I love how Thee really thought he was gonna keep the size of Peach's finger for the ring in his pocket. It's like a Y/N story but the Y/N thinks the mafia boss is insane (which he is).

A bit about RomeMOk but the forbidden relationship between RomeMok really makes me sad. At the ending Mok was fired and he could finally be with Rome but the yearning... I have to say I do like Rome and Thee's parents, however, I don't like the rules they made. I just can't wait for more RomeMok.

I'm dying about the BTS I would never be able to do a straight face if I was acting in Me and Thee. Love seeing Parker in the series!! For those who don't know, the dog in episode 9 is Pond's dog. I love how Parker is actually from Pond, so he is familiar with Pond and to my guess also with Phuwin. Makes the stress of the dog lower aswell. Overall, again, my favorite series and I do give it a 10/10, no matter what. I bet that in a few years this will be cringe asf but that's what I like about it. Can y'all tell I'm a Narawin ahhhahha. I just love PondPhuwin sooo much and this series deserves like 10 more seasons.

Perfection!

Now this is what you call an amazing drama. It has all the elements you need and it was executed with perfection.
I loved how they mixed Thai and Chinese in this drama, my two favorite languages. And loved the Chinese music.
It has dark elements, but also beautiful elements and a lot of good life lessons in it. The cinematography was stunning!!
It is always an extra joyful thing when they have short extra clips at the end of an episode.
The fighting scenes were done great!
And a little detail is that i liked the tikking sound effect, it was exactly what made the excution of this drama even more perfect.

The whole cast did such a great job!
Krist was amazing, i didn't even recognize him at first!
And who needs a BL when you can have the fantastic bromance chemistry of Sky and Nani. They have more chemistry than a whole lot of BL couples out there.

I highly recommend watching this drama.

An Absolute 10/10: Incredible Chemistry, Unforgettable Moments, and a Magical OST

I just finished Never-Ending Summer and I absolutely loved it! It’s such a beautiful, emotional drama. I loved following them when they were 18—seeing them fall in love, sharing their big dreams, and facing all the struggles and obstacles together before everything fell apart.
Seeing them again as adults was so bittersweet at first. Zhou Wan looked like a successful, accomplished woman who has grown up and totally moved on from the past. On the other hand, Lu Xixiao became a famous painter, but you could feel that he is still broken inside by the past and her betrayal. Yet, he was still so ready to forgive her as long as she loves him..
The chemistry between the main leads is amazing, but Lu Xixiao completely stole my heart. I loved how he wears his emotions on his face and is just a total open book. He doesn't hide his feelings at all and makes you feel everything x100000. Episode 20 completely broke me—the scene where he keeps calling her phone until she finally answers, and the scene where he imagines her dancing with him... those moments are just unforgettable. This is my very first drama with Zhou KeYu, but it's definitely not my last!
Also, I have to mention the OST because it is pure magic. It is perfectly in sync with the vibes of the show and makes every single emotional and powerful scene hit so much harder. Highly recommend!

As a huge fan of crime shows and police procedurals, I was completely hooked on this series! It’s honestly one of the best investigative dramas I’ve watched in a long time. The premise is so refreshing. It follows a forensic artist who joins the police force to solve crimes using art and psychology, all while trying to untangle a traumatic mystery from his own past. The way the show uses art history to deduce facts about the killers made it even more gripping. The university scenes were some of my absolute favorites, along with the chess match and the red jacket scene. Just brilliant.

There were times I had to binge two or three episodes in a row because it was just impossible to turn off. There wasn't a single boring moment. The writing is incredibly well-crafted, and it handles the tragic motives behind each crime with a lot of sensitivity. Every single character is well-developed, and the entire cast deserves a ton of credit for bringing such complex, layered characters to life. Plus, the show does a great job balancing high-tension, suspenseful moments with lighter, funnier scenes.

As for the two leads, they were absolutely perfect and did an amazing job. The relationship between Shen Yi and Du Cheng starts off incredibly tense, filled with mistrust and resentment over a past event, but it slowly evolves from initial resistance into genuine friendship, respect, and trust. I can’t wait to start season two! Highly recommend.
