No way bro was an empath

ML is an empath and FML is a go-getter who is optimism in a bottle. So basically girlboss and a malewife, fantastic I love a good malewife. I think we need more feminine boys in Kdramas like that's a lost market I would spend alot of money on. Anyways, the drama itself is sub-par with a very light and fluffy plot, no deep problems that last more than 15 minutes which is great for someone with no time to be emotionally invested. However, a problem I have with this drama is that it empowers empaths too much. Your average empath is an emo tiktoker saying shit like I can feel the pain of Chernobyl victims like baby no you can't, you just empathising rn. This drama portrays empaths as people who can see true emotions even when hidden, like a superpower and not just someone who is very observant. I dont think empaths are real if im being honest (call the woke police idgaf) so when the show pulled up that term I simply could not take the ML or the drama seriously anymore. Hence the bad rating. Overall mid drama with low stakes but alot of love to the actors and actresses

9/10 A beautiful anthology about the challenges that couples face

9/10 A beautiful anthology about the challenges that couples face
This is a beautiful white series with lots of comedy and tenderness that explores hardships that long term couples face. Each of the 5 episodes is centered on a different aspect of relationships and is portrayed by a couple that was formed on another show.
1. Pick and Rome from Senior secret love puppy honey will explore the challenge of not being able to understand each other's way of living in perhaps the funniest episode of all.
2. In and Sun from My dear loser, edge of 17 will face the consequences of fear of commitment in a funny and tender episode.
3. Tee and the adorable Mork (I had to say it) from Cause you're my boy will be challenged by trust and jealousy.
4. Pete and Kao from Kiss me the series and Dark blue kiss will be faced with routine and fighting.
5. And Arthit and Kongpop from Sotus will have to work out of their relationship will be able to withstand longterm distance in perhaps the most poignant of the episodes. And for those who doubt the ability of these guys to act, watch in this episode the scene where Krist (Arthit) breaks down on the riverside, it made my heart sink to my stomach.
I'm not pony one to give a 9 easily at all. This series is not high art or Shakespeare, it's a a white romantic comedy about relationships. But it's very good at it and in each episode you laugh, you feel for them, you get a nice story and a nice smile on your face when the credits roll. Also a good photography and music to fit each episode. A well rounded job.

first ep review! + 5th ep review

ep 1 is so lite and the people judging it without watching bro 1) if u don't like omegaverse why are you even here? 2) not upto our expectations let's watch a little more EPs ig?
even though I FKING LOVED THEIR ACTING! 🫠🫠🫠 Nakhun's voice so amazing it got me melted and Phatsa I would say kinda lives under the rock he doesn't knows anything abt omegaverse and is the ML it's just a weird ig 🤔
but their scent names would have been a bit commonly knowned ig cause they feel a bit French to me idk why

*edit: 5th ep is so boring could not even watch whole ep without going back the writing and plot is all over the place same places in every ep, and it's more like special EPs of My Stubborn for me they are giving more of SornJun (My Stubborn) compared to NakhunPhatsa maybe when Phatsa gets preg we will get to know more but ig I am dropping the series on ep 5 idk I may rewatch but yea let's see.

intriguing premise with underwhelming writing

Overall: wish Boat and Oat had a better script/editing.12 episodes about 45 minutes each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/knot-episode-1-c3hbjhxtcg?lang=en_us?lang=en_us

Content Warnings: non con touching/attempted assault, fight scenes, murder off screen, non con kissing turned consensual

What I Liked
- chemistry
- styling (sometimes it missed the mark though)
- unique premise
- a character has fighting skills and is not just a damsel in distress

Room For Improvement
- world building dump and character info dumps (text on the screen)
- the end of episode 1 had nonsense/too coincidental (characters happened to be at the same place at the same time in what appears to be a large city), also how rare/secret is the secondary gender that a character has no knowledge of it (and then later in episode 3 a woman made it seem that it was common knowledge)???
- comedy moments did not work (comedy sound effects did not help)
- odd camera angles/close ups
- at times odd music
- Phatsa's lack of agency, no one told him something might be a possibility?!!!

great

I really like the first episode this is what a real BL series looks like. the actors have so much chemistry on screen together and I love the way the storyline is going. just can't wait for the next episodes. I would definitely be watching this entire series. it's perfect. and the flash backs was great nice add to the storyline. the main characters are really interesting to me. the only thing I didn't care about was the bite on the neck scene that should have not been a part of the storyline. what was that scene for other than that it's a great series I have to change it because episode 2 it was a letdown especially when it came today in nc scene it was weird how I could do was laugh or the scene I don't even know if you should call it the NC scene. I did was rolling around and do other weird crap one the bed they only get one more chance to fix it. but at least is serious didn't remove or cut there nc scenes Even if the scenes are weird viewers were able to see the scene

A Massacred Adaptation That Softens the Webtoon’s Hardest Truths

As a massive fan of the original True Education manhwa, which is easily my number one favorite non-Murim series, I went into this live-action adaptation with high hopes. Unfortunately, Teach You a Lesson fails to capture the charisma and raw grit of the source material. In fact, the only saving grace for my mental health is that Gu Sera wasn't in this season to be ruined too.

The adaptation completely destroys Im Hanrim. In the manhwa, Hanrim is an absolute icon: attractive, lethal, confident, and calm. She commands the room in her perfectly fitted black suit, white shirt, and high heels. Here? They gave her a weird hairstyle, dressed her like an ajumma in the beginning, and put her in oversized suits with flat shoes. Worse than the look is her butchered personality and backstory. She went from a dangerous, elite special forces veteran to a standard soldier who was apparently a bullying victim. Instead of a cool, calculated operator, she spends half her time screaming at the top of her lungs in a very grating voice. The writers even added a live-action-exclusive, stereotypical nerdy character named Bong just so Hanrim could tease him. Manhwa Hanrim is classy and respectful, but here, she loses her elite focus over food and fails to stop him from being kidnapped. It’s pathetic writing for someone who is supposed to be highly trained. As for Na Hwajin, the actor lacks the sheer presence and look needed for the role. However, I will give credit where it's due: he actually acts the part well, and his personality feels accurate to the webtoon.

When it comes to the scenario, a lot of it matches the original, but the changes they did make speak volumes. The manhwa is famous for being completely unapologetic about its political stance and tackling systemic issues head-on. Netflix, predictably, sits on the exact opposite side of that aisle. Because of this, the live action feels like it passed through the hands of the very people who vote for policies that cause the problems this series denounces, which makes for a very uncomfortable viewing experience. They diluted the teeth of the original commentary. For instance, I highly doubt that even if we get a Season 2, they will ever dare to adapt the storyline featuring the radical feminist teacher who brainwashes kids into classroom warfare, or show Hwajin exposing how a progressive agenda can create division and monsters.

The one positive thing I can say is that by keeping most of the core cases, the show might still make people realize that modern education has a major crisis. Ironically, the fiction here is actually softer than the truth. The real-world cases these stories are based on didn't have happy endings or a TRPA coming to save the day, reality is much worse.

If you've never read the manhwa, you might find this to be an average, passable action drama. But if you love the original webtoon, it’s going to hurt to watch. Gu Sera is so popular she caught her own spin-off webtoon, and I desperately hope there won't be a Season 2 because I cannot bear to watch them massacre her the way they did Hanrim.

MASTERPIECE.

I've never ever written a review in my entire life but i want to do this as a way of expressing my love towards this series as well as contribute to the success of this masterpiece to the best of my abilities.

In a single word i could describe this series as a simple "masterpiece". It is definitely one of the best things I've ever spend my time on. Everything from first minute of the first episode to the last minute of the last episode was crafted to perfection.

I cannot put into words how brilliantly Sky and Nani acted? no- LIVED in the show. The top tier acting and way of portraying the deep and complex characters of Pete and Niran should be highly appreciated. Everyone else in the cast did their part wonderfully- Godji, Palang, Great, Singha, Ken, Juno, Titan and honourable mention to Krist. All of them together made this series a perfect display of "limitless talent".

The story, direction, quality of production, cinematography, VFX, music, editing, and every other element was totally upto mark, kudos to the brilliant team.

I personally enjoyed getting introduced to the various mythological concepts and beliefs. The series stayed true to its genre, especially the brilliantly choreographed fight scenes and interesting story telling methods.

Now to one of the most important parts- SkyNani genre wins as always. Their way of not depriving us of the intimacy and love even while not being a romantic series is the best thing I've ever witnessed. When i first decided to watch it, i was sure I'd be disappointed by the lack of romance- but nevertheless wanted to watch for the mythological aspect. As much as the initial reason being ONE of the best thing about the show- to my own surprise, I was giggling and kicking my feet every second of SkyNani on my screen, and as someone who was not familiar with the SkyNani magic, i was highly impressed and genuinely started questioning my sanity.

To conclude i would like to point out some of my favourite things. The found family trope, the shift of each character from their initial versions to a much better version of themselves, the subtle and well timed incorporation of other genres like comedy, (b)romance, horror (?), thriller etc, individual depth of each character, the layers of each character written and performed beautifully, the sound effects and background music, and everything else that contributed to the masterpiece called "WU".

Once again huge appreciation to the entire team, cast and crew for giving us this wonderful project and lots of love from me for giving me one of the best watching experiences ever.
-With love, Amii.

Heartwarming Start, But Dazzling Drags Too Long

I started watching this drama because I saw people comparing it and making edit videos with L&P, which is one of my favorite Chinese series. However, after actually watching it, I found that the two dramas are almost nothing alike.

The series starts off really strong. It’s funny, and I absolutely loved the family dynamics around the male lead. Every character has a meaningful role and stands out in their own way — I especially adored the male lead’s mother. The rural scenery is stunningly beautiful, and the character development and growth feel well-done. However, once it reaches the middle, the story starts to drag and becomes quite boring. The separation between the male and female leads feels way too long, and when they finally reunite, it doesn’t leave much of an impression. It feels like something is missing. I understand it’s meant to be a slow-burn romance, but even then, I think it was too slow for its own good.

Overall, Dazzling starts really strong with great humor, warm family dynamics, lovable characters, and beautiful rural scenery. The character development is solid too. However, the middle drags heavily, the separation arc feels too long, and the eventual reunion lacks impact despite being a slow-burn romance.

cheating for the win

The story starts out with FML accidentally putting a love spell on ML instead of her crush and they end up falling in love and getting tgt. ML however has a gf but is conveniently on a break. Turns out gf is a cheater too.
Ok so now that recap time is over. WHAT THE FUCK????? main couple is basically a cheater and a cheatee?? I dont care if you were on a break actually the break came like AFTER the spell which is worse!!! How the hell am I supposed to support a couple that basically came from an affair and like the gf being a cheater too is such a sudden bullshit plot to make main couple seem acceptable. Only an idiot would accept that convenient plot point! no way your original couple is so ass that you had to make the side character an asshole as well cause if the gf was just a regular woman THATS A WOMAN BEING CHEATED ON AND HEAVILY DISRESPECTED!!! Like no matter how you frame it the whole relationship started in such a grey area and wasn't treated as such... Very very iffy plot, I do not support cheaters or cheating or betraying your partner in any way or form. Anyone supporting this drama is a cheater or a soon-to-be cheater or an asshole with no regard of their partners feelings

Forgettable

No problem with the slow start and story build up so that wasn't an issue for me watching this drama.

Liked it very much in the beginning actually.
It somehow started to get dull especially around episode 36-40 though.

The story lose me when they can't communicate with each other and the only option is a break up or divorce. Yeah, it didn't last long, but why even put that in the script? When ml knows his wife did so much for him and was ill herself. He doesn't think twice before making that dumb decision. It was disappointing.

Cheng Lei big fan of his work, but his character in this drama was not my favorite. I don't know if it's because of the writing of his character or not.
Just wasn't excited to see him on screen when it showed him. He did have a few cool scenes I give him that. It just wasn't enough.

Bai Lu and Cheng Lei had cute scenes together at first. Later it felt like they were saying their lines. Don't know how else to explain it. Wasn't excited enough about their characters relationship anymore.

Glad everyone else enjoyed it! It just wasn't my favorite from the leads.

Not worth the hypeeee

Such a waste of time bruhhhhhhh... people were praising it like crazy and for whattt? Don't get me wrong it had a lot of potential with the plot but after revealing sth they just got over it... like what was with the flashbacks with Saitharn ex when it literally did nothing to the plot💀💀💀sure after he said to Sila omg no I'm so scared and then after 2 minutes they got together. There were so many plot holes that it started to piss me off I'm not going to lie. The lesbian couple literally had no fucking kiss, no confession scene no nothing, sure it was obvious they liked each other but there was almost nothing going on... idk it was really disappointing for how much it was hyped.

que maravilhoso!!!!

eu já fui com a certeza de que ia amar e SUPEROU eu amo esse tipo de série onde cada ep é uma história e tem o grande fechamento.

E tão lindo ver isso em um ano onde político diz por aí coisas horríveis sobre professores, tão bem feito e desenvolvido, personagens únicos e grandes atuações que foram cruciais pra fazer isso aqui ser muito bom!!!

talvez um ep que mais pegou pra mim foi da mãe que queria fazer o filho passar em medicina
e da professora de infantário
e claro, último

simplesmente um dos melhores k dramas do ano

The ending is...-10k/10

The romantic ending is so... yikes. It leaves a rotten taste in my mouth. What do you mean, you get a happy ending? You are a corporate fuck who treats other people's lives as a staircase to achieve your "more money, more fame" fantasy. You destroyed someone's innocence and family with your cold planning and plotting. What could you possibly offer as compensation to mend the broken trust and the sheer cruelty he faced? Scent should have spent his whole life being miserable. Gaysorn should have moved on entirely without Scent, choosing peace with his tribe and his own life instead.
