para equis reproducción y todo toda la gente que está haciéndose serie tan buenísima

这部剧集真是一段令人难以置信、引人入胜的旅程！作为一名委内瑞拉人，我的血液里流淌着激情与情感，我可以发自内心地说，这部剧从头到尾都深深地吸引了我。

剧情的张力堪称大师级。每一幕在美丽而充满异域风情的景色中展开，仿佛将我们带入了一个神奇的世界；置身于这些令人叹为观止的场景中，简直是一场视觉盛宴。然而，除了视觉上的美感，真正打动我的是剧中对文化、传统以及对祖先的深切敬意。这些细节丰富了故事，赋予了它独特的灵魂。

演员阵容堪称完美，但男女主角之间的化学反应……我的天哪，简直妙不可言！你能感受到他们之间那种执着、激情，以及一种令人无法抗拒的魅力。尤其要赞扬男主角：他完美地完成了从桀骜不驯的“坏男孩”到温柔体贴、充满保护欲的转变。而坏男孩，当他们真正爱上一个人时，也是最美好的！

感谢各位艺术家和整个制作团队，为我们呈现了这样一个充满浪漫与文化底蕴的动人故事。我非常喜欢！

The Wonderfools is a fun and surprisingly heartfelt superhero drama that blends nostalgia, comedy, action, and family relationships into an entertaining package.
From the opening episode, the drama immediately captures attention with its cool late 90s atmosphere. They opened it with banger song by Radiohead?!! I was sold.
The homage to Guardians of the Galaxy was a fun surprise. The CGI effects are on par with many Hollywood productions and never feel out of place IMO. It can feel dark at times but it pulls you back to comedy. It's just unserious lol!
The acting chemistry between the cast was great as well, plus Chaeni and her grandma.
Park Eunbin, the master in acting, I don't even need to elaborate. It's no longer surprising. I just watched her in awe. She was so nimble switching from comedy to melo drama and she takes me with her with those emotional change outs. Her body acting was so GREAT as well, her teleporation and the lifeless body acting was so good it was creepy.
Cha Eunwoo played the stoic character well. His acting complimented with the highly energetic trio. Director Yoo Insik is known for bringing out the best of his actors regardless of skill level. And I see it here, CEW went from weak (previous works) to decent acting, although his tone is still kinda of flat. He needs to work on that next.

It's not a perfect drama, it definitely has its flaws but the good stuffs in it outweighed the flaws so I only want to highlight things that I like about it.

Yi Chen was toxic as well

First of all, I would like to apologize to my 15-year-old self for reading the novel and watching the movie back in 2018. 😭😭🙏🙏

Even though I already knew all the entire story beforehand, I genuinely enjoyed the psychological suffering while watching it.

Although the acting in the movie was indeed good, the actors in the drama truly outdid themselves. Their performances were outstanding.

While I won't deny that Lu Feng's character was genuinely toxic and extremely toxic at times, I would also like to point out that Yi Chen was equally toxic.

On many occasions, he avoided explaining his situation to Lu Feng despite knowing that Lu Feng was an impulsive, hot-tempered, and emotionally unstable person. Even though he knew exactly how Luo Fang would react, he still chose to stay silent.

What frustrated me the most was that Yi Chen always seemed to choose other people over Lu Feng. Meanwhile, Lu Feng literally chose Yi Chen over everyone else. He gave up his name, his family, and his inheritance. He turned his back on his father, who was on the verge of death, and on his sister, who loved him dearly.

But for what?

In the end, Yi Chen would always choose others first. What bothered me even more was that he chose others over himself as well. Because if he had chosen himself even once, he would have chosen to stay with Lu Feng. 💔😭
This does not excuse the many unforgivable things that Lu Feng did to Yi Chen. However, what makes the story so tragic is that I actually witnessed Lu Feng's transformation from a genuinely kind person and an almost perfect boyfriend a complete green flag who stood by his partner through every hardship and was never afraid to be proud of his love into a black flag who literally became a kidnapper and a r@pist.

Watching that downfall was heartbreaking because he wasn't introduced as a bad person from the start. He gradually turned into someone completely different, consumed by his obsession, jealousy, and desperation.

At a Certain Point, This Shouldn't Even Be Considered a "Toxic Relationship"

I'll try to be as objective as possible when writing this review but I gotta admit it was a hard one to watch. And I'll cut it short because tbf there is not much to say about this series:

(This review contains heavy spoilers bear that in mind!!)

I'm gonna start with the script bc that's the only thing we should talk about this series. This story was so bad that after one point I was like "What am I watching ? Why am I watching This ?". Even from the beginning, the extensive homophobia literally made my blood run cold. Yes, it is actually very common thing to happen in real life to most of us Queers; but on the other hand as the events develop, the amount of choices that have been made regarding the homophobia they encountered is so bitter to watch and from my point of wiew, nearly unacceptable. Doen't matter how much you love your parents/friends/family, a person should always choose themselves if it comes to either them or yourself. I know saying this may sound selfish or inconsiderate, but as someone who encountered something very similar to this, I truly believe this is the only healthy choice for both parties.

Then the second main subject of this show comes before us: Obsession to the point of a person loses their mind. Even now as I am writing this review, it still sounds insane. literally insane. After the mother of Yi Chen dies, our character cuts off his communication with his brother, decides to stay married to the woman he does not love and goes into hiding. I was okay with all these decisions. Then there is a time jump of 5 years and we see the couple moved on, healed and ready to divorce to build a better life which was sweet. But then, (this is the moment this show goes to down hill . Or may I say, sorry for my vulgar language, straight up bullshit) our masochistic Lead Yi Chen decides to contact his Ex-boyfriend Lu Feng who caused so much pain to him before. And then after encountering him, he becomes a captive of his lunatic ex. Watching those episodes was very hard I have to tell. I couldn't watch some of the "sex" scenes because of how painful it is. The show doesn't say how long Yi Chen was captured (I think in one scene Yi Chens's brother and his bf talks about how they couldn't find him for a couple of months but I am not sure what events that time period contains) but we could tell it was quite long because by the end of it, the actor literally looked like he lost half of his weight.

Anyways, after everything he's been through, Yi Chen decides to be with Lu Feng once again which while I was watching that scene, I audibly laughed. that moment, I lost my very little remaining sympathy that I had towards Yi Chen. Yes, on the last episode we learn why Lu Feng acted this way and I admit discovering his condition softens some things a little but for me the main issue was not him but how Yi Chen kept coming back to Lu Feng. This is not love. The only sick one was not Lu Feng. Seeing a person wasted away like this was very sad. I wanted to talk about how the story was written badly in and on itself rather than pointing out its illogical and/or inconsistent sides because this story is very bitter and moving and I felt it should be approached emotionally to talk about it. Some of you may find this boring or think this is not a review and I respect that. I am avare that my review looks like it goes over the story mixed with my comments and I am sorry for that but as I just said, I didn't feel right to approach this any other way.

I have no comments on the music. I personally not a fan of how chinese BLs uses music but it was okay for me for this piece. The production quality was top notch. The actors literally carried everything and made this story watchable. That's all I'm gonna say about this show I think. I don't know if it's stupid to put this at the end of the review, but people who struggle with mild mental illness should NOT watch this series.

PS: I know I said I'll cut it short at the beginning but ended up writing a whole ass essay so I'm sorry lol please bear it with me.

Fantastic Acting

Now I just wanna say that I haven't really watched a lot of medical dramas because I know I'm not gonna be able to get into it, nor does it interest me whatsoever. But this one? It made me appreciate the genre and what it can offer me as a whole. I get it now, I get why the medical genre is popular.

I know this is a Chinese take on the Korean original, but mind you, I haven't watched the original as well, so this is gonna be a fresh take on someone's lens who has no knowledge at all.

Watching this made me remember why i wanna retire early in life, because ever since i discovered cdramas, i've never looked back. It's very hard for me to watch kdramas or jdramas now because they are so compact due to declining attention span because of shorts/tiktoks. Now there can be exceptions from time to time, I'm not generalizing, but i'm just saying, cdramas know how to properly fluff a story without making it draggy. Though yes, since this is an adaptation from the korean version, it's following almost the same number of episodes, even shorter at that, unlike your standard cdrama 30-40 episode, but they managed to capture my love and appreciation without fluff.

As i've said, i haven't watched a lot of medical dramas, nor am I a medical student. So i'm probably just gonna be brushing off the medical side of it. Though i'm sure you can still appreciate this because the acting is so good. Every. single. actor/actress. here they are all good at acting down to the extras, there's no flaw in the acting. I actually came into this purely because of Jiang Pei Yao, but i stayed because of the acting, and for the plot i guess haha.

The story in the beginning can be annoying or i guess you could say the MC, but as it progresses, you feel that he's slowly becoming even more humanlike. The dynamic between the characters is very smooth. The chemistry is impeccable. By the way, i love how they handled Chen Hui and Yuan Ye's romance, its very open-ended, because i was thinking if this was the korean version, I'm pretty sure there will be romance in it, but in here there's almost little to no romance at all, not until the end, and again it's very open for interpretation, i love that.

Overall, Fantastic Drama, if you're someone like me, watch it blind, don't look at anything else, and when you're done, make your judgement.

Started Strong but it was getting weird at some point

This show started off so strong, but then completely went downhill. One of my biggest pet peeves in dramas is grown adults who never know what they want and can’t form their own opinions. For a 12-episode drama, how many times did they seriously need to break up?
The script also wasn’t great. At times, it genuinely felt AI-generated because the dialogue and character decisions made no sense. And I’m sorry, but I absolutely could not stand Xiao Cheng’s character. He constantly looked spaced out, confused, and like he had no idea what was going on around him.

O começo é bem envolvente. A amnésia foi trabalhada de forma válida, e foi muito divertido ver o papel e ações que normalmente são de uma mulher sendo ocupados por um homem. Lu Jiang Lai passou o ar de concubina buscando por favor de forma hilária. Quando ele recupera a memória eu comecei a ficar frustrada, pois senti que ele continuar a esconder dela foi uma escolha de enredo feita para criar drama, já que eles estavam confiando um no outro antes disso. Com dois personagens inteligentes como são, poderiam ter resolvido tudo de forma estratégica e sem mal entendidos. Depois de tudo, quando parecia que as coisas iam se acertar veio a fase da capital e todo o drama da residência do Duque. Teve alguns pontos interessantes, mas achei desnecessário de modo geral. No fim, o que poderia ter sido incrível ficou cansativo, o que senti ter sido um desperdício do excelente elenco.

An....Effort

Honestly I don't know what went wrong with this. the premise was good, the plot could've been executed very well but it just wasn't. Let's talk about the positives first.

The Acting. As usual, Gun is amazing. All the other actors did really well too which includes Film, Nani, Jane and Dew, kudos to the actor who played Prasath, guy was so creepy he gave me chills every time he was on screen. Chimon played Pennhueng exceptionally well that i wanted to protect him as well, Love also played a pathological liar very well. Amazing acting.

Now i think that was the only best part of the series. While i must say the series maintained it's suspense element, but there were so many things that ruined it.
For once, why was no other Gen 4 student shown, like ever? Why did the series start with Run running away and getting caught, but no idea what actually made him take the final step of running away? (or maybe i missed it, but I'm sure i didn't.)
Next, Jingjai and Hugo were shown leaving for another city when they went back home, why didn't they leave? actually how was even the police involved with the Home School administration to bring them back when they first tried running away?
Another question is, how does hypnosis even work? At one point we're shown Master Amin is hypnotized to the point his views change, and the students also get hypnotized that they turn into potential killers. but then we see that students like Jingjai stop themselves moments before killing them, without any intervention like Fuji and Biw had. I get that "love" made others stop, but even then they had to be reminded of it, why did Jingjai stop? So many questions which never get answered.

Now we come to the characterization.I think Dew and Nani were not seperate characters of their own and I'll stand by this. They were very superficial, only existing for the female leads (which i saw for the very first time, usually it's the other way around, #.malesinfemaledominatedfields lol). Even Maki didn't feel...real till her backstory was revealed, which still didn't help much. the only characters i could comnect with was Love and Chimon's, who actually showed development and felt like real characters. even jingjai and fuji had better development than dew's and nani's character.

This could've been a power show if it wasn't for the plotholes and odd characterization, with a great cast(which i didn't understand the reason of half of it disappearing in the second half). Maybe even reducing the number of episodes would've helped, made it bit more coherent.
Wish to see better stories with similar vibes with these actors again, they deserve the chance. Just will regret the lost potential of this series.

The Curriculum Includes Consequences

Teach You A Lesson is one of those dramas that knows exactly what kind of story it wants to tell. Blending action, social commentary, and school drama, it delivers a highly entertaining watch while tackling issues such as bullying, abuse of power, teacher rights, and flaws within the education system. Based on the controversial webtoon Get Schooled, the adaptation focuses on the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, a special agency tasked with restoring order in schools where traditional methods have failed.

The drama's biggest strength is its pacing. Rather than dragging out a single conflict for multiple episodes, it presents different cases that keep the story fresh and engaging. Each case explores a different aspect of school-related problems, making the series feel dynamic and easy to binge-watch. The action sequences are satisfying, and there is a strong sense of catharsis whenever bullies or corrupt adults finally face consequences.

Kim Mu Yeol delivers a commanding performance as Na Hwa Jin. He carries the drama with charisma and intensity, making even the most over-the-top moments believable. The supporting cast, particularly Lee Sung-min and Jin Ki-joo, add emotional weight and credibility to the story.

That said, the drama is not without flaws. Some situations are exaggerated, and the solutions often rely on intimidation or physical confrontation rather than realistic conflict resolution. Viewers looking for a nuanced exploration of educational reform may find the show's approach simplistic. The series also inherits some controversy from its source material, which has faced criticism for problematic themes, although the adaptation appears to soften or remove many of the webtoon's most criticized elements.

What makes Teach You A Lesson work is that it doesn't pretend to be subtle. It's a revenge-fantasy-style school drama that gives viewers the satisfaction of seeing injustice challenged head-on. While its methods may be questionable, its message about accountability, respect, and the consequences of unchecked bullying resonates strongly.

Overall, Teach You A Lesson is an entertaining, action-packed drama with compelling performances and relevant social themes. It may not be for everyone, but if you enjoy fast-paced stories where wrongdoers are forced to face the consequences of their actions, this drama is well worth watching.

Shimura uma ótima pessoa (a mãe dele tbm), Kanegon um doidinho, Tatsuya Ougi malucoooooooo! são tantos personagens interessantes que eu não sei expressar!! dito isso, 8.0!

Even the production team won't be able to make such a mind blowing series again!

I started watching it after I saw a reel on Instagram where Lu Feng takes off Yi Chen's glasses and I thought this scene looks something unique and I should give it a try. I was unaware that this was going to be such a wonderful ride. Lu Feng's delivery of expressions and the way he portrayed his love for Yi Chen genuinely needs hell lot of praise. He literally showed all 7 stages of love in just 12 episodes. Now you might see comments like this was peak toxicity and all but you have to learn to differentiate between fiction and reality. If you want to watch love in it's raw form, this series is the right choice. Double helix is the epitome of perfection!!!

Best slaps I've ever seen

I'll start by saying I enjoyed the show. The show deals with a lot of heavy topics centered around the schooling system, from kids bullying each other, to overbearing parents bullying teachers, to school violence and gang culture in schools and drug use in school. They focus on trying to solve the problem at the root.

For a drama tackling such heavy issues it was a relatively easy and enjoyable watch. I love a good fight scene and they gave me plenty. The male did an amazing job in his role that I want see his other works. Good acting all round. I hope they make a second season.

Watch if you enjoy a good story with good fight scenes and good acting. It you enjoyed taxi driver, I think you'll enjoy this.

I read a lot of reviews saying its unrealistic and I'll say this I don't watch tv because I want realistic.
