你的那些不靠谱，恰恰正是我需要的
"This ever-refreshing morningmade me believe that only when we lose the courage to start over,
does youth truly come to an end."
Hi I absolutely loved this drama
- Loved the development of the character, even the family of the leads. It was refreshing to see the relationships between the characters and their parents. The parents are LOVELY every one of them have their own distinct character. Their friendships with one another were wholesome. (yes i loved the mothers friend group)
- It's relatable and it hits home (just like the title 😝)
- Life lessons, coping with grief and loss, liked to see the growth of the characters
If you enjoy a warm and easy to watch drama (that is somewhat school-related) to unwind after a long day, I'd recommend you to try it out. And if you dont really enjoy watching school dramas, don't worry, its not like cringey type, it still has other parts of their life so it doesnt focus totally on school. It also shows their life growing up, transitioning, hobbies, relationships with family etc.
Didnt regret watching this at all. Chanced upon this after watching WIFTY and this plot kinda reminds me of it.
But also has some differences from WIFTY for eg, more focus on the parents too
SPOILER ALERT

JingXichi:
started off as seemingly slightly irresponsible --> more mature, and rational
ChenHuanEr:
started off as bubbly and slightly lacking in confidence --> more mature, and confident
𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
QiQi: one of ChenHuanEr's first friends in new school. i liked that her relationship with her mother did improve slightly. I didnt fully like her character, though i can kind of see why she is the person she was (partly because her mother is kind of cold, aloof too) i feel like she mostly thinks for herself. but glad to see her move on from her past.
SongCong: He deserved more, i am so glad that QiQi and him didnt get together in the end(even though on surface they might look matching) but this guy hes so precious pls ... he made earrings for her??? and it's handmade??? hes a keeper!!!pls you deserve more.
DuMan: Honestly I am not sure how I feel about SongCong and DuMan's weird romance going on... but i am still happy to see her, her character also has growth and there are struggles that she faces.
XinYan: bubbly, outgoing, extroverted. it was nice to see you class monitor :))) happy for her she has healed from her past crush on JingXiChi
LiTian: an intelligent and clever character who is quite comical in his own unique way, it did spice up the show. He ended up having a partner despite him saying “wise men dont fall in love (智者不如爱河）” LOL
can still see hints of the characters being the same person when they were slightly younger, which is GOOD, shows coherence with storyline.
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝:
- homely environment, that the parents take turns to care for their friends' children (like cooking them meals) because they do night shifts, features a comfortable vibe
-the main leads truly care for one another i liked that they started off as friends, showing their very real sides, then becoming besties to lovers
-how JingXichi stands up for ChenHuanEr right in the very beginning caught my eye (it showed a soft side to his exterior, that he was actually a kind person and considered her as his friend, even before they knew each other very well)
-how ChenHuanEr encouraged JingXichi during his setbacks
-how the friend group in class goes out on outings together
- back part: how the main leads talk out and resolve their differences during quarrel, was quite realistic showing the struggles of long distance rls
- i liked the filming, directing, the angles and how the story was being told
- script was good, not super lame, i think it was quite natural
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝:
i think certain characters' acting could be improved. i have no problem with the main leads but 2nd female lead may have limited range of expressions, though i think she did a pretty decent job already.
would have loved to see a little more of their home neighbourhood (家属院）scenes again and the family's scenes also in the back part (tho they did show them reuniting in the neighbourhood)
when they transitioned into university life i felt that i missed the life they had back then... though it was also important to show them transitioning into adulthood
the last episode felt a little bit rushed... thought it was a decent attempt at tying up the knots and all, and closure of the characters, but would have loved to see the parents for one last time too
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:
when the last episode ended, i was sad to see them go.. that feeling of watching a good drama the last episode is bittersweet. will miss them hence rewatch value is 9.5
if you read until this far, thank you for reading !! its my first review <3

Still weak for mystery drama
I watched this drama since i quite like Huang Yunyun and mystery is one of my favorite genre for all the country but it stills lack for the case but i quite like the character in this dramaDu Peiyuan and Huang Yunyun acting is excellent, and the supporting character, the fat captain, is also very likable. But for the mystery drama, this drama still lacks especially from directing since many scene got shaky effect from the camera.
This is Republican-era suspenseful mystery revolving around the disappearance and murder of the SML the owner of the Grand World amusement park
ML has excellent logical thinking skills and can point out bugs promptly, but his investigative abilities are average. He relies entirely on self-disclosure to solve cases.
FL appears gentle and innocent, but is actually a pure villain who orchestrates everything and manipulates everyone. The FL travels to the world of crime seeking money, targeting the SML She uses various methods, including seduction, drugging, and taking indecent photos, to extort money from him. She then uses her diary to manipulate a 3ML into eliminating the second SML.
However, the ending leaves too many unresolved questions, which is a major drawback. Since we never know where is the actual body of SML.
Still too weak for mystery drama. Only recommended for hardcore fans of the actors.

Just not for me
Things I liked1 The five girls friendship. I love stories where there are several protagonists, especially when thy are studying or just start working.
2 Esther Yu. Not my favorite of her roles and I prefer her a goofball or a silly romantic character but she still was good, although I admit I barely recognized her at first.
3 The other three girls except the one with the bangs.
Things I disliked
1 The ghost thing. So unnecessary and boring.
2 The character of the girls with the bangs. Not only I found the bangs awful and the actress bad but the character itself didn't appeal to me.
3 The romance part was an aftermath and I get it, but it still bothered me. The problem with this series was that I didn't love anything. I either liked some things or disliked them and that's bad in my book.

Delightful Romantic Comedy.
Both the leads shine in this easy romantic romcom. It was a pleasure to watch. I really enjoy Yoo in Na, she is always classy and seems to pick her dramas to act it as quality. And of coure Lee Dong Wook is always great to watch. They have great chemistry which was apparant in Guardian so it isn't a surprise that they would do well as Main leads in a Drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Super entertaining and fun with some touching moments: a healing must-watch
This series features the passionate romance of Thee, mafia heir, and Peach, talented photographer. As the tone of the series is definitely to poke fun at a lot of lakorn (Thai Soap series), Pond delivers an incredible performance playing an over-the-top mafia boss Thee (ready to do everything to make Peach fall in love with him). The deadpan way to which Peach (played by Phuwin) reacts to Thee antics are making it even funnier.Among all the laughs, there are also a fair share of emotional moments, heartwarming and making this series feels very sincere. The two actors are selling very well the dynamics of their characters and the tenderness between them, despite their differences.
The minus of the series definitely resides in its secondary romances. Two secondary couples are sharing screen but I would have preferred the scenario to focus only on one additional couple rather than to come up with those half-baked storylines, especially that one was clearly more interesting than the other and would have benefited from more screentime and better storytelling.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for an uplifting BL with a strong comedic and parodic tone. It will definitely bring you a smile.

Failed Father.
The premise of this series is good. There are many threads, each with its own story. It's anecdotal, it's heartwarming, it's infuriating and it's enlightening of the times. Overall, it's sketchy. Somehow the details didn't fully fleshed out the picture.There is much to like. There's much realism and tales of life. There's much to appreciate. But there is also too much emphasis on some nuances and some bits of the acting seems over dramatised. I count 5 divorces. For 36 episodes and a family of 5 siblings, this seems a lot. The character play of antagonism between QZW and elder son QYC is a little overdone. The furtive, paternalistic and overbearing characterization of QZW, with his obviously devious scheming just got more irritating than hateful. Even QSM's portrayal of a ditzy sister get a little worn.
The QSL and MYD's relationship, as well as QEQ and MSQ's were better written with its moments of challenges and warmth.
The bigger acting parts belong to the male actors but the female actors did a better job. Esp Mao Xiao Tong and Zhu Zhu.

Literally such a light-hearted and comforting drama
This beats wifty (when I fly towards you) and hidden love imo, fight with the wall. Everything in this drama is almost perfect. Shen Xifan had a really bad relationship with Yan Heng, especially since he was always 'busy' and always out of the country, kind of like a long distance relationship but with no effort at all.I'm also glad that the director didn't speed up their story, especially since it wasn't realistic to be heartbroken for just a few days and find a new partner in the next. I actually got mad when Xifan rejected Suye in ep. 13, but considering she was going to Swiss to study for masters, and the fact that she ALSO got out and deal out of a toxic relationship made it a very exceptional reason as to why she FELT like she had to reject Suye.
Overall, I'm glad He Suye treated her SO much better than Yan Heng, and I'm also glad that Xifan was able to stand up for herself, had her own voice, and most importantly didn't depend on Suye so much like y/n or some shit. A 10/10 for me tbh but ofc I have to be realistic, so a 9.5

one of the best medical dramas ever!
This show- all 3 seasons, did not disappoint! The actors are amazing- all of them! The storyline was compelling and the tension was off the charts! I really enjoyed and hope there us a season 4! The commitment of staff made this a love story on so many levels. Nurse Oh says it best! this is a story of Master Kim’s gravitational pull, and it all came together in a beautifully romantic story. Not traditional romance, but romance Master Kim style! every character had a reason to be a part of the story!Was this review helpful to you?
Interesting plot and good acting
Solid cast. Acting was great all around. The chemistry between our leads is interesting; one I haven't seen in a long time. The plot is interesting enough, but it's more focused on their complicated teacher-student relationship. So if you're not that into character-driven dramas, this might not be for you.Was this review helpful to you?
so insightful.
movies like this make me remember why i cant stomach romance harem dramas like swords and the brocade. This is real and not a game which you can win. but something which always had trapped and imprisoned real women. no women can win this, its so cunning the system it tries to condition you and this movie shows that so well. the little foot massages and even the character progression. chills down my spine. concubine harem dramas should take some inspo and not make it the true evil insesntive all fightimg for one man with no dimmension. just villians but motive and a misundersrood ml. but 35 and 15 is never romance. instead its this a girl who goes mad, not a girll who wins and beats the system.Was this review helpful to you?
Painful to watch
I love legal dramas and medical dramas and So Ji-Seob is one of my favorite actors, so I thought this was gonna be a 10/10 to me. I could not get through the first 2 episodes. The medical content was not accurate nor logical. In the very first episode, for example, someone in the courtroom RANDOMLY goes into anaphalactic shock and collapses in the middle of the room. The first thing they said was that his heart stopped and to get the AED. Okay, no. They do CPR incorrectly and are messing around with the AED not working properly. Then, the doctor-lawyer comes in with his magical medical bag filled with items that can only be possessed by physicians with medical licenses (which his had been revoked for a retaliation reason that would have been caught by an ethics review committee, like licenses aren't being revoked willy-nilly out there). He takes out of his bag a premeasured injection, possibly adrenaline/epinephrine and gives it to him in the neck(!!?? absolutely not, and if he was doing it to restart his heart, that is not really appropriate for this setting). He then gets out a trach kit, opens the sterile packaging and then has someone poor a liquid (isopropyl alcohol maybe?) on it before giving the guy a trach before waiting for the epi to start working.There was so much obviously wrong with this and future events that I couldn't stop getting irritated. The background music was overly dramatic for what was happening and their OR was like a mess. Someone in there slipping all over the blood on the floor like slip-resistant shoes aren't mandatory.
Anyway, I still love So Ji-seob Oppa but this show wasn't for me.

JUSTICE FOR HYUNJAE
This is the first season I've checked out of this show, and I have to say I really liked it! I'm not the biggest watcher of reality tv but my friend suggested this one, so I wanted to try it. I have seen part of the reunion as I'm writing this, but I'm going simply off of the show itself.I really enjoyed this! The games were really fun, I especially enjoyed the guy game in the water. I liked most of the cast, some I thought were boring but I'll get into that. I do wish they didn't spend so much time on Mina Sue and Goeun. They both just got annoying pretty quickly and I was tired of seeing them. I was pretty happy as well with how all the people were coupled up!
For the cast!
Starting with the guys:
-Subeen: He was top three most attractive men on the show for me. I really liked him at first and then was a little unsure about him, then really loved him in the end! He's really sweet and I'm glad we got to see him open up more as the show went on. I think he's super charming and has great chemistry with everyone, but I'm glad he ended up with Heesun in the end.
-Seungil: The seasons it boy. He was also super attractive to me, especially his smile/smirk. He was so kind from the very start which made me really like him. I was rooting for him and Mingee the entire time as well, so I was happy they left together. My favorite moment of his is when him and Mina were in paradise and he called her out for everything she was doing. He really spoke for the audience there.
-Sunghun/Sam: I'm not going to lie I hated this man until his paradise with Heesun. I feel like that was the first time we got to see his true personality and learn more about him. Before that we only really saw him with Mina and I just didn't care for his vibes. In the end he did grow on me but he still wasn't even in my top 5. I wasn't shocked he left with Mina either. Bro had the worst luck ever throughout the show.
Hyeonwoo: He is such a big teddy bear and such a sweetheart. I think the people watching/fans were way too harsh on him for his paradise with Goeun. It obviously didn't go well, but I think he was just nervous. I do think he was a bit of a boring guy, but he was sweet. I wasn't shocked he left by himself. Major props to him too for giving up his paradise too.
Sungmin: I loved this little yapper. He was in my top 5 choices from start to finish. I was a bigger fan of him than I think most were. I wasn't shocked when Goeun chose him either because I knew there had to be a reason she couldn't let him go. Overall I really enjoyed when he was on screen.
Igeon: I recognized him right away from the show the Trunk, so I thought it was cool an actor was on here. That being said, I was not a fan of him to be honest. He was way too cocky for my liking from the start. He just seemed kind of fake to me as well. I think it was maybe because he tried to act cool and nonchalant all the time. He had incredible chemistry with Goeun right from the start, but his cockiness (and talking about another woman constantly) is what bit him in the ass in the end.
Hyunjae: MY NUMBER ONE PICK FROM THE BEGINNING. These girls must've been blind. I still do not understand how he was the least popular out of all the men. Him and Subeen were the most attractive part of the entire cast to me. He also just has such a charming, sweet, and comforting personality. I was happy to see he was one of the most popular amongst the fans/people watching because I really didn't get why no one wanted him. I knew Jooyoung wouldn't pick him in the end, but I still felt bad for him. If these girls don't want him. I'll gladly take him.
Jaejin: Straight up I didn't like this man from start to finish. I never understood why he was the most popular and I still don't. His "I don't care" attitude annoyed me so much. I love him with Jooyoung don't get me wrong. I think they're perfect together. That being said he just annoyed me the entire time.
Now for the girls:
Mingee: The it girl of the season!! My number one girl from start to finish! I love her so much! She's such a baddie! She was the most attractive girl to me too. I loved her chemistry with Seungil so much. I love that if she wants something, she will fight to get it. I feel bad that she had a bit of hard time throughout the series, but I was very happy her and Seungil left together in the end.
Mina Sue: When she first came in up until the truth game, I loved her. I thought she was stunning and she gave off classy vibes...but omg was that vibe wrong. Her constant back and forth was so irritating. I'm totally for wanting to explore other options in a situation like this, that being said she was too much. They just spent way too much time on her. She ended up as one of my least favorite girls for sure. I wasn't shocked she left with Sunghun, but I do believe she just went with him because none of her other options were left.
Goeun: She's stunning but I'm not going to lie she's a little boring. I loved when we got to see her cute and funny side, I loved that part of her, but she didn't show it very much. Her love square with the boys grew old so quickly. Like Mina, they spent way too much time on her. She was never very open on how she was feeling with any of them at all. She clearly had the best chemistry with Igeon, but I don't blame her at all for not choosing him and I wasn't shocked about her choosing Sungmin either.
Heesun: When she first showed up, I thought she was pretty, but I didn't care for her very much. I was shocked how she wasn't popular though because she is so pretty. She grew on me a lot throughout the season and in the end I really loved her. This poor girl had awful luck throughout the show. I loved her two paradise trips because we got to see so much more of her. I was so happy she left with Subeen as well, they easily became a favorite couple of mine.
Jooyoung: I kept getting her and Yejin mixed up in the beginning. Not because of their looks, but because they were both so boring that they were practically invisible. I legit forgot they were there. Her chemistry with Jaejin was fantastic, they felt like a married couple instantly. I was really happy they left together. I wasn't shocked that she didn't choose Hyunjae, personally I think she was never really even going to give him a real chance because she felt so sure of Jaejin.
Yejin: Same thing I said before about Jooyoung. I don't know why she was even here. She had no screen time because she was SO boring. She never even wanted anyone really either so she was pointless. At least Jooyoung had her love triangle, Yejin straight up was there for nothing.
Haeun: She was fun and cute but I also would kind of forget she was there. She got no screen time after she first entered. She still chose Jaejin in the end but we didn't see her try to pursue him at all after the paradise and she was close with Igeon but we didn't even see that either. She was the most forgettable "stir things up" person I've ever seen.
Overall I loved watching the show and hated waiting each week for the new episodes. I can't wait for season six!
