Irritating FL and very fast paced

TW: mentions of su1cide in the movie.

I normally don't care that much about the acting but rather the story and the making of it. But for this movie the issues issues really was the personality of the FL. Maybe my rating would've been higher if I liked the FL... This is not meant as attack towards Toey Jarinporn. Aside from my irritation on Mesa I do have to admit that this story was really cute, especially the moments between Ben and Mesa. I was afraid to start this movie. Anything that says Netflix makes me afraid. Maybe I should cut this crap and just accept that Netflix does make good/average stuff.

From the beginning on I shipped Mesa and Ben but Tul wasn't really in my mind. I knew Mesa had a different partner but it was really obvious something between them would happen. The break up was way too early for me to give a fuck and that also kinda ruined how I saw the movie. It was too rushed, to the point where I hadn't really had the time to build empathy for Mesa. I just preferred Ben, he's tuff.

Mesa really pissed me off. It was the overreactions and the slightly high classed/pick me conversations. Instead of thinking the actress is bad, I think this was meant to be. Actually her acting was amazing and I think it really was done with a reason. I don't remember the name of the characters, I think it was Min. But from Min's actions it was clear that she had the exact same idea about her as I do. I think the reason she was stuck in this loop also had to do with her ignoring her surroundings and being self centred. Even though I feel heavily irritated by her, I love the expressions she made. They reallyyyy reminded me of Cooheart. What I also found impressive and really nice is how Toey her English is understandable, which is rare given it's a Thai series.

I actually realllyyy liked Great Warintorn and idk why but something about him makes me blush like he's amazing. His smile makes me shy like bro what. Barely any actors do such a great job at giving me that reaction. I should definitely watch more of his series/movies. I've also seen Man Trisanu before in step by step and I really liked him as actor, he's amazing. I am a bit disappointed in his role as Tul but the story of Tul in general made 0 sense aside from him trying to break up with Mesa all the time.

As someone with French blood, I really love how this movie was shitting on us. I love how they included all sorts of tourists including Japanese and French. The French family being portrayed as loud and rude was so funny to me and I really don't mind. The kid was so annoying as well like omg I would've had such an urge to slap that kid if I was Mesa. I know Thailand has a lot of issues with tourists absolutely disrespecting rules and I'm just really happy they 'addressed' this.

The styling and colours are amazing. Somehow just every shot feels right. And Mesa's outfits??? Hello??? She is sooo beautiful. I have 2 other movies from Suea Yanyong on my list and I really do wanna watch them now. The poster absolutely fits what I was thinking about the show. I'm not usually interested in composers, however, it is super nice that they had Phil Chapavich compose. He did amazing work in the Next prince.

Another small thing I disliked was the ending made. It no sense to me I'm so sorry. I get who she ended up with etc but I feel like it was overall rushed and just confusing. I have to admit that I personally am not the biggest fan of movies because I feel like series give a more in depth feeling of the story. This is my first time making such a long review on a movie and I wouldn't call it necessarily good. I'm not sure what to think. I'm a big fan of the production but less on the story. I would say it's quite mid.

A blessing on the eyes and ears.

Wow. I was not expecting to like this drama as much as I did. It's the most aestheticly pleasing series I've watched up until now. I'm a huge fan of cinematography and it's shown that the people working on this drama have a keen eye for it. From the scenery, the effects to the absolute amazing costumes and make-up, everything was done so beautifully that I was stunned almost every episode, So much so that i had to pause it multiple times just to admire the absolutely amazing job they did. I'm absolutely in love with every aspect of this drama, I can't even explain how much this cdrama touched my heart.

The relationships between the characters were so heartwarming and beautiful, I was kicking my feet at every little interaction any of the couples had in this show. The pairings were just amazing. There were so many emotional moments that had me ugly crying (I do cry quite easily though :')) So many twists along the way that had me at the edge of my seat EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Definitely a must watch for everyone!!

And something we absoultely can't forget: the music. For me the music is a big part of what breaks or makes a series and they just absolutely nailed it. Sa DingDing has a stunning voice which really fits so perfectly. It's just like a puzzle falling exactly into place.

Is BL/gay romance losing its identity?

One cannot help but mourn the present state of "romantic" fiction. Gone are the days when love did kindle slow and true between men. In their stead, we are presented with the "mating" of facsimiles, neither fully man nor beast, which, drunk with inebriating pheromones, enslave their wills to the most absurd of heterosexist hierarchies and roles. More heinous still, the ceaseless delirium of heat and rut subdues the higher faculties of omegas until they are degraded into mere vessels of propagation, suffering female gestations and swelling with child as though nature itself had taken leave of reason. This travesty retains not a shred of the human condition, to such a degree that a dispassionate observer would conclude it the issue of a species foreign and unknown to our own

Tales of omegaverse concern not the affection of men. They are a mockery thereof, and "Knot" commits the selfsame sacrilege. It exudes a noxiousness that offends both sense and sensibility

I beseech you, readers of discerning mind, to suffer me in naming omegaverse for what it is; nature debased, and love undone. Never was there a fictional "straight-with-extra-steps/pseudo-BL" trope more vile than omegaverse, so at odds with all that is good, that its unwarranted popularity or dominion over minds darkens my view of humanity. How far we have fallen, to delight in the raw, oppressive throes of non-human instinct, or the egotistical drafting of another into existence. I hold it true that the universe erred in drawing forth life, and doubly so in drawing forth our species

However sincere my loathing for omegaverse, I am yet obliged to subject to rigorous scrutiny the pernicious and insidious ideological artifices elevating "straight-with-extra-steps" narratives (e.g., omegaverse, futanari, gender bender) above narratives which, with artistry, devote themselves to the celebration of same-sex unions. And I would venture to propose a theory of my own. Society, diseased as it is with homophobia, cannot bring itself to confront the reality of non-straight/non-procreative desire. It diverts its gaze toward a form of gendered "otherness" (e.g., men assuming the guise of women, and women that of men) to flatter the prejudices of those who would banish the subject of non-straight/non-procreative desire from polite conversation. In final measure, it colonizes BL/GL, planting therein the foreign seed of "straightness-with-extra-steps" and bringing the flesh into the servitude of gestation

The erosion of authenticity is laid bare before us. And the path ahead, I fear, is one of gloom

Better than expected

I initially thought it was going to be cheesy, but after seeing a few snippets on IG, I decided to give it a shot. I thought it was going to be similar to Jung Hae In's "Love Next Door", but the cast in this show was so much better. The individuals that carried this show, in my opinion, were Go Eun Sae and the SES girls.

I really liked Ha Young's ability to express her character's comedic element. The most memorable moments were when she was jealous. I enjoyed the dynamic of the SES girls, every time they got together, especially their K-pop performance at the wedding 😆.

One of the things that stood out for me that I didn't care for, not sure if it was exaggerated on her part, but I didn't like Go Eun Sae's crazy laugh. It was cringy for me, and it was similar to someone scratching a chalk board.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

Like any sane person, I too was insanely excited for season 2.

Once all the episodes were done, I binge watched it, but right after first couple of episodes I could sense something was lacking. Soon thereafter, everything just when downhill. The taut writing, the emotional turmoil, the finely choreographed action sequences, the twists, and even menacing enemies, they all were absent in this one.

And the reason for that is simple:
This season is NOT based on the comic.

The creators decided to go their own way for this season, which is absolutely fine, and I would applaud them for that, but only if the result wasn’t so… ORDINARY.

In and of itself, this season is a fine one-time watch. But the moment you put season 1 into perspective, this season looks very amateurish and downright silly.

Following are some of the amateurishness / silliness I encountered:

THE VILLAINS: Gone are the dread and absolute horror that Bale induced in the first season. There’s not a single scene that comes even close to his scene of dropping grenades in that room full of women, and his subsequent evil stare of dark delight. His replacements are two entitled ladies, who yap a lot, especially the boss, say cheesy lines, act out, make faces, and just end up being a caricature. Annoying and laughable? Absolutely. Menacing or dread-inducing? Oh, please.

THE TWISTS: None of the twists, and I mean none of the twists, were unpredictable. The writing was so pedestrian at times that the twists became an obvious course of action. The one place they could’ve inserted a fine twist was when Pasin was made into a traitor. Right there, was a fine opportunity to make him into a double agent, but they missed it and messed up the whole thing. Him becoming a traitor felt so forced and out of character. I was once surprised, though, when Jianman announces to Pasin that he’s now the kidnapper of his son, but that went absolutely nowhere, as Pasin is killed off five minutes later, making the “twist” irrelevant.

THE HUMOUR: What humour?

THE EMOTIONAL HEFT: Again, what emotional heft? There’s not a single scene that would parallel that moment when our little Jian was left locked in that room in the school and her relief and outburst at the sight of her rescuer, her uncle. I choked up, even after watching it three times.

Or that quiet gut punch when, while trying to escape, she ends up in the same morgue cooler where her mom’s dead body is stored. That fraction of a moment where she learns her mother is no more, and she embraces her dead body, hoping to be saved…or to die, but in the arms of her mother. Or that dramatic scene where our grown up Jian steps out of her hiding with a severed head, no less, negotiating with her almost-killers. There is NOT A SINGLE scene in this season that would come close to these.

THE DEATHS: I felt bad for Brother’s death, but not for Pasin, because of the way he was practically written into a terrible hole in the episode before. And his death was just so stupid. He knows there’s a guy behind him and yet he turns his back just so he could bid an emotional farewell to Jian, who’s already pretty much on her way to safety. I was screaming at the screen, “ FFS! BEHIND YOU”. And later he gets his hands on some grenades, but he waits to first be riddled with bullets before flinging them on his killers. Moronic to say the least.

Back to the Brother: I was hoping his death would be avenged, especially by Jian, as I really wanted Q to die a horrible death. She was solely responsible for Brother’s death. I mean, if you kill one of the most likable characters, you deserve to die a very painful death. But not even a strand of hair is harmed on her in the name of vengeance. That’s just lazy writing. I suspect the creators want to use that, annoying girl-boss character in the next season. So, she gotta stay alive. If it were up to me, I would’ve had Jian simply shoot Q dead and respond to Jianman, “The difference between a friend and an enemy is a sheet of paper? I DON’T CARE”

THE ACTION: I personally didn’t see any better action in this season. That knife fight between Jianman and Bale alone in season 1 is far better than all the fights in season 2 put together.

THE CGI: It was what it was. But that scene where the two photographs are blown away by the wind was just too much. I did like those terminator bots, though.

Overall, I’m very very disappointed in this season. Yes, it’s very unlikely that season 2 would top season 1, for any show, even though there are exceptions (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul). But the least they could’ve done was not make this show so ordinary, devoid of the sheer force, grit, and heart that season 1 was. Deviating from the source material was a PHENOMENAL MISTAKE on their part.

In my view, just skip this season altogether, and let the bittersweet memory of season 1 be the only memory of this show. It’s better to leave something on a tangent than to drive it into the ground in the name of progress.

? Royal Betrothal: Why Are We All Obsessed? (Because, Chen Zhe Yuan!)

Okay, stop scrolling! If you haven’t watched Royal Betrothal yet, what are you even doing with your life? 😂 Seriously, this show completely destroyed me in the best way possible.

Let’s talk about Meng Ting because, wow. 👑 Finally, a female lead who isn’t just decoration! She’s smart, she’s strong, and she actually knows how to handle the palace mess without losing her mind. The actress? Perfection. She brought so much depth to Meng Ting, and I was rooting for her in every single scene. We stan a queen who knows her worth! 💅🔥

And then… the Emperor. Oh. My. God. ⚔️ Can we just take a moment? This man is the definition of “charismatic power.” He walks into a room, and the air just changes. And Chen Zhe Yuan? As always, he proves why he’s our favorite. That man doesn’t just act; he breathes charm. Even when he’s just standing there, doing absolutely nothing, he’s still the most beautiful thing on screen. The visuals? 10/10. The acting? 10/10. My heart? Completely stolen. 🫠💖

The chemistry between them is top-tier—not too much, not too little, just pure fire. 🔥 If you’re looking for a historical drama with a powerhouse female lead and a male lead who makes you forget how to breathe (thanks, CZY!), this is IT.

Do yourself a favor and watch it. Thank me later! 🎬💕

Current Status: Rewatching every Chen Zhe Yuan scene for the 100th time. Send help. 💀😂

It's worth. Not what people expected but emotionally a strong drama

I know many people didn't like it but it's time to be objective. Overdo was and is supposed to be melodramatic, and it really carry its name because everything was Overdose, overdoing😂 but on a serious aspect, the drama started with my bad impression but I kept watching and it's worth, the story took time to develop. I give credit to actors because their acting individuallly were amazing, they embodied their characters and emotionally delivered. So far Linghe has done an incredible job with his emotion delivery, micro expressions, one of his pest portrayal as an actor in my eyes after his drama Our Generation. I was in a rollercoaster of emotions watching it, mad, sad, crying, happiness for a moment but the story kept the viewers invested. The supporting cast hats off to them because I went mad 🤣🤣 I was invested into their nonsense but sense haha. Don't listen to others review, watch and make your own opinion

When Worlds Collide

The director is Italian (Giovanni Fumu), the setting is a sort of American small town, and the main characters are Korean. This creates an interesting mix of worlds in a story about a Korean couple who travel to a foreign land, only for something strange to happen. I really liked the story and, as a result, the movie itself.

As a low-budget Korean-American co-production, the film clearly operates with limited resources. This is, of course, a B-level movie with lower production values, and the American actors weren’t particularly strong. Still, the film delivers an uncomfortable sense of suspense and mystery that makes the viewing experience satisfying. From start to finish it keeps adding new layers and never becomes boring or repetitive. Even when the plot occasionally feels illogical, it redeems itself by the end, so I’m very glad to have discovered this movie.

what i loved the most :

- wen yifan : this character is so powerful without knowing it, she’s so strong, she went through so many things and at the end she finally lets it go and face it with her real family

-sang yan : i really appreciate how he yearns his high school lover and he never got over her en en if she « rejected » him.

Overall a good entertainer with on spot acting!

Just finished "My sticky Love", it was not like a traditional K-drama. Had a twist at the end with a slow and happing ending. There was no rushing in the last episode, the director took his time to give us a meaningful ending rather than a fairy tale.

Both the actors were top notch. Ha Young was a tad bit difficult to recall from the Drama, The Trauma Code where she was marvellous and in this she was the perfect co-acter for Jung Hae in.

Her acting was organic and didn't have any artificial elements. Would love to watch more of her in Main roles. 😍

Quite a nice surprise

I'm not a xianxia fan, not at all but I'm a SWL fan and I like JJ. I always try any drama before dropping or skipping it. What a nice surprise, this caught me off guard, I watched it till the end, of course regarding production for the CGI effect which is not a good quality one but it works. The chemistry between the leads is highly appreciate which made me stay until the end and I could get into the story. So you as you know xianxia story always takes time to develop, don't watch it as you expecting to watch a normal cdrama, not at all. Be patient and be open to another style. It was overall good for me, this is only the 3rd xianxia I finished without fast forwarding, so that's a good sign

Bombastic drama. Excellent comeback for the Hengdian Queen Jinyan

If you're looking for a revenge drama with political intrigue, strong female lead and slow pace romance, this is for you.
I know the main leads don't disappoint at all regarding script, they know how to pick a good one and I was waiting for this drama but I didn't expect it to be so unique and excellent.
Knowing Jinyan and Zheyuan were recovering from injury and 6 months postpartum during filming is just unbelievable. They delivered at a high level, very professional.
Talking about the supporting cast, they were incredible, the 2nd couple adorable, and the captain, he is a new actor and made his debut with this drama, he served and ate🥰
The villains I hate their characters so much, they pissed me, that means they did they job extremely good.
Don't hesitate to watch it guys, there's a lot happening in this drama, you can feel happy, sad, mad, pissed off, laughing, empathetic, all mixed emotions at the same time, that show they know how to covey emotions to viewers through their acting, expressions. People might be mad for the ending but not me, not all story should end with the same formula. They deserve this score.

bad story

i only started watching this drama because of tian jiarui. He is also the only reason i watched until the end.
This drama was so boring in its storyline. I love a power woman but woman like this who think they can do everything is very annoying. Tian jiarui was the only reason and deng wei i watched. there is also no romance and it was very annoying how the female lead did not cath the message that the male lead was in love with her. With everything the male lead did and she did not even fall in love with him. or even if she did it did not look like it. like if youre not gonna act in love them dont bother to kiss.

The Best Philosophical GL Series of 2026

⚠️Finale SPOILER Alert⚠️
AI GIRL Ep 7 - Hmmm, how do I describe/explain what I went through during this Finale Episode? First, I was downright bewildered, discombobulated, aghast, stupefied, flustered, and dumbfounded and flabbergasted that Gen chose Ai over Irene! My goodness, there was the living, breathing, warm, gorgeous, sexy A.F. Irene, practically throwing herself at Gen, offering herself to Gen, to sub for Ai! That one line from Irene, "Why can't it be me instead?", tore at the core of my soul.

And what did Gen do? Rejected Irene (c'mon Gen, another major heartbreaking rejection for Irene, after she told you what her Thai dad did to her?! you're so mean, Gen). So I thought, hey Irene, if Gen doesn't want you, why don't you come over and stay with me instead. Delulu.

** That walk-on part of P'Le and Ran? Absolutely divine! I ❤️❤️❤️ Mie. **

And I continued watching and everything was kinda cringe coz, well, Ai's a robot!!!!

Until the final scene came. 45 years later, Gen and Ai are still together.... And I found myself bawling my eyes out😭😭😭😭😭😭

And this show made me - the jaded, commitment-phobic, overprotective-of-my-own-heart me - think: If I REALLY had to choose between a human who would eventually cheat on me and break my heart again, and a robot who would be loving and loyal and faithful and sweet to me until the day I croak, wouldn't I choose the robot, too? Oh man, so many existential questions now running sprints and marathons inside my head!

AI GIRL, you started as a cute sci-fi fantasy romance.... And ended as one of the most thought-provoking philosophical, metaphysical, ontological works of 2026. Good job, Me Mind Y!

Oh my oh my, Me Mind Y - You blew our minds with LOVE BEYOND DREAMS. And now you're making us think about the very essence of love and mortal existence with AI GIRL.... What would you come up with next? I LOVE YOU!
