A complete review

MuTeLuv is definitely a series worth watching. A lot of the stories in this one is better than a lot of full series. Here is who every story would fit along with my own review and thoughts:

"Hi" by My Luck: This fits everybody who have had/have a fear of failure, people who were/are the smart kid in school, people who just wanna have a good time.
This story is super fluffy, barely any angst or conflict. Basically all the characters are redeemed in the end. This story managed to find its place right into my heart in a period where I needed it the most.
WHO IT DOESN'T FIT: People who wants very serious stories, people who are tired of school stories

Not My Father: Simply put, if you enjoyed Peaceful Property (who's director also directed Not My Father!), you're probably gonna love this as well. If you haven't watched it, then if you love cults, comedy and relationships that hit right into the heart, then watch this. This reminded me so much of Peaceful Property and made me so happy.
WHO IT DOESN'T FIT: People who don't like scary dramas, people who take things very seriously

Diva Deva Meta: This fits people who are just there for a good time, who enjoys comedy. This story surprised me with it's emotional ending, and also in a way reminded me of Mean Girls, not the plot, just the vibes.
WHO IT DOESN'T FIT: People who wants a serious drama, people who wants real plot (and I mean that in the best way possible.)

Fist Foot Fusion: This fits people who likes the actors, thinks the premise sounds fun and doesn't care too much about deep relationships. I've heard many people say that this is the worst one, and I'm willing to agree, BUT I think it's mainly the relationship between the characters.
WHO IT DOESN'T FIT: People who wants the emotional relationships, people who wants all characters to be good

Hello, Is This Luck?: This fits anyone who likes the premise, people who have been/is currently struggling with mental health issues. This one surprised me with how much I liked it and how much I could relate to the characters.
WHO IT DOESN'T FIT: People who are easily triggered by mental health issues, people who don't like very contemporary stories

Love Lock: This fits people who believe in second chances in life, who like comedy and stories about exes making up. I'm gonna be honest and say that this story wasn't for me, but I truly believe it has its right audience somewhere.
WHO THIS DOESN'T FIT: People who believe in "once a bad person, always a bad person", people who might have delt with bad exes in the past.

Love Me if You Swear: This fits people who like the premise and who likes the small things. I really liked this one and I think it's a great one to close off with.
WHO IT DOESN'T FIT: People who don't like the premise, people who dislike slowburn

Overall, MuTeLuv is a great series and you don't have to watch them all, pick one that chooses your taste, cause I can asure you that you'll find at least one.

Looking at everything that acting should have from many angles, unfortunately Peat Wasuthorn Chaijindar is a very bad actor, you can read his face in advance what he will do or say. It can be seen that he did not graduate in acting, but was trained. Fort Thitipong Sanggey is solid.
As for the script and the series itself, there are many ambiguities, the director thinks that we are in his shoes and that we know what is happening, it is so confusing and he runs from stage to stage in a period of a month, 6 months and even a year, so it is very confusing to watch. We don't know what the director had in mind, we are not in his head.

OMG their chemistry is driving me crazy!!!!! Dangg who made this muhhh ...

I can't stop smiling , y are they so adorable ?
One of the best enemies -to-lovers trope series after H2H series this is the second one I really really like / adore .
Two rivals started spending time together and eventually fall for each other , the way I am saying ik it seems kinda boring , but in reality it is so damn good , highly recommended from my side !!!!!
I am now a big fan of this incredible series , literally some parts were so hot and I totally like the quality and the storyline , after these two got together they became even more cuter
I can't believe those were actually show - offs , they got to know each other's weakness .
They hooked up two times and the last ep kiss was very passionate .
Tum and Oh turned so sweet later on ....
Even though it's a short series it's story is so damn good that it blew my mind it's flawless .
I would like to give it a 10 on 10

An Action Show That Lost Its KDrama Touch

This show is far from a typical Kdrama. It's better to be labelled as a western action drama played by Korean actors. This show runs in a quick pace, but lacks of depth. The suitable way to describe it is probably Korean John Wick. The beginning was really promising, an innocent deliveryman was taken as a scapegoat of a murder. Everything was alright until An Yohan arrived. He was a psychopath who tried to destroy everything for fun, it's totally a western superhero villains trope. Park Tae Jung was tortured behind the bar, suddenly found a way to escape and gained a fighting skill out of nowhere; another western superhero trope. He ofter came into a difficult situation without or with minimum preparation. During the prison era, everybody was fighting him with weapons. He, on the other hand, rarely used any. Yet he always survived, because that's what the hero do.

The pace during the prison era is too slow for an action show. The story takes too much focus on Park Tae Jung. All of his friends were only given a very little part to the story. Meanwhile the backstory of each characters are questionable. Nobody knows what happened and how the relationship was built between Yohan and his nanny. The ending were questionable, especially his nanny whereabouts. The storyline involved too much coincidental events, which we usually call makjangs. For example when Deok Su was chasing him for his car, the one saved him and Ji Yong was another car accidentaly got in their way. It was also weird for car no 11 to join the race after he had been shot to death. The super ultra powerful villain was beaten at the end with just a little bit of again, luck.

Thankfully, Ji Chang Wook, D.O and Jo Yoon So played really well here. In conclusion, maybe kdrama world should stop replicating western style. This show is recommended for someone who got tired with Kdramas. But if you're seeking a Kdrama because you want a story like a Kdrama, this show is not suitable for you.

Strong start, disappointing ending

At the beginning I was quite intrigued by the plot with the switching of their fates etc. But the romance felt very fake to me idk. I just didn’t think the leads had chemistry.
Also the villains were sooo unnecessary and annoying, especially the Shaman. I think this drama could have easily been a good 7 without the villains.
I wish instead of the villains plotline they could have showed more of how the main leads were trying to do good deeds again and helping the people that Eun-ho tricked as a gumiho.

Also the last episode literally went from Goblin to Single’s Inferno 😂😅😅 Like seriously, what was that??? sooo so random!

I guess it is an ok drama if you watched something super sad or heavy and need a palate cleanser in the form of sth rather stupid and ridiculous then I recommend. But definitely not a masterpiece 😂

Excellent storytelling

I went into Reply 1997 not really knowing much about the 1990s Korean nostalgia it’s famous for — and honestly, it didn’t matter at all. I still enjoyed it so much. It was so funny, so warm, and so easy to love. You could really feel how meaningful that time was for the characters. I can only imagine how nostalgic and emotional this must be for Korean viewers who actually lived through it.

The music choice was absolutely epic. Every song fit perfectly and added so much emotion and energy to the scenes. The soundtrack alone made so many moments unforgettable.

The acting was amazing across the board. Seo In-guk and Jung Eun-ji had such natural chemistry. Their bickering, slow-burn tension, and emotional scenes all felt real and heartfelt. The entire cast brought so much charm and authenticity to their roles.

The storyline was also brilliantly structured. I loved the back-and-forth timeline and the mystery of who the female lead ends up with. It kept things exciting without feeling forced. The story took so many themes like personal loss, family relationship, friendship, love, none felt forced in the storyline, every arc had a reason, this is all because of the excellent writers.

There’s really only one thing I didn’t like or didn’t fully understand: the relationship between the female lead and the male lead’s brother. I feel like we weren’t given enough screen time to truly see their relationship develop. Because of that, when she said yes to his proposal, it felt a little sudden to me. I just wish the drama had shown more of their emotional build-up so that moment would have felt more convincing.

Disappointment is an UNDERSTATEMENT

So here comes my rants…ahem…review.

I thought about whether I should write a review on this show because it left nothing but disappointment for me (and many other, I believe). But I decide to do it after giving my time to finish it and thought I should be able to express my feelings. Let’s start with what the story was supposed to be, a Thriller! Yes, it got my attention right off the bat when I read the synopsis, being a sucker for thriller. It being a bl, I was even more excited since I wanted to see something new in the world of bl for once, from GMM (because if you read the comparison between them and other company under bl series, it’s not hard to guess many are feed up with how badly produced their series are).

I decided to give GMM and this pair, JOONG AND DUNK, a chance. Though I have watched some of GMM series, in the earliest making of bl series, JoongDunk was a first, I thought they looked good, which was a plus of course in entertainment industry, especially in bl world (for all the fangirl/boy, the requirement to make money). I wanted only two things, decent story and decent acting but guess what, both GMM and JoongDunk (especially Dunk) disappointed me.

The series did not turn out to be what was promised, it was so bland, tasteless and unrealistic beyond comprehension. It look like GMM wanted to balance the gore to be lightened by the fluffy (cringey) romance of the leads but ended up messing it up so bad that they ended up with nothing on both part, no part was developed in its potential, like the dog that wanted the bone in the reflection and ended with nada. They killed a very potential series by trying to focus on something else, the romance of the two that should be chasing bad guys and solving the crime to prevent another dead! It’s like they think a bl have to have romance, no, two men flirting, kissing and NC scene is a must! They should learn from Chinese bromance series. They should realize by now that exposing everything is less attractive than exposing this and that, minimum, leaving viewers some imagination. Not everything has to had it all spelled out. I believe if they had toned down the romance and focused on solving the crime, it could have been one of those rare gem produced by them. Romance wasn’t needed in this kind of genre, not to mention how they choose cringey romance instead of matured kind of it. The mystery wasn’t that mysterious either with how predictable it was, even Jay’s “crime” was I able to guess (maybe growing up watching Thai drama helps).

The most thrilled I was was when the first murder took place, so much for being a thriller, after that the series pretty much went down, nothing was thrilling and the disconnection the inspector and captain have to the case took the charm of a possible thrilling series away. Like, how could they be so busy with their own romance that they practically look like they only exist to catch the killers in the last episode and didn’t need to do anything to investigate? Like they weren’t the ones who were supposed to be solving this murder spree. They were so misplaced. Most of the time, it felt like the murderers were plucking flower petals after each crime—they are on their way, they are not—and ended up going home bored to death, wondering if they made it too hard for the duo. If I were in trouble, I sure as h*ll did not want these two on my rescue team.

Moving onto the cast/acting, I think the only ones who acted decently were Chimon and Sing. The other avengers team did good job too with the screen time they were given, Joong was okay but I think he can do better. On the other hand, Dunk, this actor was so stiff it made it uncomfortable to watch him. I am not lying when I said I already saw his wooden acting from his first appearance, the car scene. At first I thought it was me who wasn’t used to him but the more I watched, the more I feel that he lack. And reading the comments, it doesn’t look like this was his first project. And many claims that this was his “improved version” which made me wonder how the h*ll did he act in his previous projects. How did he even secure this project to lead? And the next. Frankly, he really needs to take on acting classes. As a leading man, for his fans and his co-star, he owe that much. I don’t think it was he being in character, sure, Kamin was supposed to be reserved and strict but those two personality did not equal to being wooden stiff. It was his acting that lacked, too stiff. Many says that he and Joong are very comfortable with one another but maybe because of his stiff acting, for me, he always looked guarded, especially in those intimate scenes, that I couldn’t feel the chemistry between them. It looked too awkward. Too uncomfortable to watch. Many blames the director for how it turned out but they could only direct and guide, the acting was done with the actor’s ability, his perception of the character, maybe this was how much the director could bring out from Dunk which says a lot about him. I hope he saw how he act from the reaction videos they made and have enough self-awareness to try and improve himself. He is not ready to be Kamin. Give it 3 stars for cast/acting as a whole cast.

What I like about this series would be the idea, the story and development we didn’t get, and I like the ending credit ost in earlier episodes.

Rewatch? H*ll no, one round was more than enough. I am not putting myself in that torture again. (Geez, why is it a must to rate rewatch value when there is none?!)

Yup, it’s decided, I am leaving GMM and JoongDunk behind, as I had wisely done until now.

A lighthearted comedy for sunny days, without major dramas or mysteries.

The series is well-produced and very funny. It's a comedy that isn't afraid to be funny at all times, however, you can see that there will be dramatic developments, as there are people who want to harm the protagonist because he will be the next king.

This is a very common cliché, especially in Chinese dramas, where the protagonist unintentionally ends up involved in something that has nothing to do with her, something she didn't want, because she was mistaken for someone else. I personally am really enjoying watching it, mainly because I had never watched a Thai period drama before. However, if you like a serious story with dramatic development and full of political twists, this series is not for you. If you want to watch something light, funny, and full of culture, this is the series for you.

PS: Enjoy shines on screen whenever she appears.

Wish they casted a more suitable FL

The series had a strong storyline and good pacing overall. The male lead delivered a very powerful performance, but unfortunately, the female lead weakened the impact. I’m not sure whether it was the way her character was written or how it was portrayed, but I found it difficult to connect with her. A general who constantly needs rescuing by the male lead until she eventually falls for him felt unconvincing and poorly executed.

The styling and makeup also highlighted her age in a way that didn’t help the character. She appeared noticeably older than the male lead—at times even older than the empress—which made their pairing less believable. The two leads lacked chemistry; their dynamic felt more like platonic comrades than romantic partners. I kept hoping their romantic scenes would change my impression, but instead, it reinforced it. The female lead’s performance felt too restrained to evoke any real sense of romantic excitement or “butterflies.”

I was holding my breath the whole time!

I was recommended The Terror Live and told it was a great thriller, and I’m so glad I listened.
It took me straight back to those early 2000s thrillers I used to watch as a kid, the kind where you don’t move, don’t even dare run to the bathroom during ad breaks because you’re terrified of missing one second. That’s exactly how this felt.

From the moment it started, I was locked in. Completely. It’s the kind of movie that traps you in one space. The tension just keeps tightening and tightening until you realise you haven’t blinked in minutes.
It gave me that specific adrenaline rush only a truly good thriller can deliver, where you’re not even breathing properly. You’re just holding air in your lungs, waiting. And then when it ends, you finally exhale and sit there thinking: “That was insane.”

The pacing is relentless. The story is engaging. The acting carries everything with such intensity that you feel like you’re inside the chaos rather than just watching it. It’s the kind of performance that makes you forget you’re watching a film at all.

I genuinely don’t want to say anything about the plot because this is one of those movies you absolutely need to go into blind. Don’t read summaries. Don’t watch trailers. Don’t spoil it for yourself.
Just press play. Trust me.
When it ends, you’ll feel that same urge I did, to immediately tell everyone how good it is.

Don’t take the rating seriously, I’m only here to comment ?

The female lead is absolutely not loyal and does not deserve to be called a heroine👎🏻
She had zero justification for hiding her identity from her former fiancé when she recognized him at the beginning. Let’s be honest
she was clearly want the king 😏
She kept quiet and left the poor man confused and lost, even though she knew exactly who he was from the start. She chose silence because she wanted the king. She even admitted it herself in one of the episodes during her inner monologue.
How is that heroic? 😂
If the writer had simply resolved their misunderstanding early on, we wouldn’t have needed this frustrating and unnecessary love triangle.
And let’s be real if the roles were reversed and (Lee Shin Won) had forgotten her, everyone would have called him disloyal and heartless.
I couldn’t sympathize with her at all. She doesn’t understand the value of love.
To avoid criticism, the writer suddenly rushed a last-minute romance just so viewers wouldn’t feel too bad for the male lead. That’s weak writing🫢
