2 more episodes
Too immersed in the series and only two more episodes left. Honestly wu is a new genre for me and i like it. Monkey demon. The way nani acts like a monkey. I like his dedication and u can tell he studied a lot for this character. Ep 7. I cried a lot. Seeing pete meeting his family, yes i cried. Then when niran didn't want to come back, i cried. I can feel pete's frustration and i love how nani acted. Looking forward to ep 8.Was this review helpful to you?
a classic case of wasted potential
I wanted to love The Air. The premise had everything going for it: a princess on the run, a capable police officer assigned to protect her, political conspiracies, action, romance, and plenty of opportunities for emotional moments. Unfortunately, the execution never quite lives up to the potential. The biggest issue is the script. The story quickly falls into a cycle where Lom and Blew escape, the villains somehow find them almost immediately, and then they run somewhere else. This pattern repeats so often that instead of feeling tense and exciting it ends up feeling predictable. The villains are also a no-show. Despite being the mainm force behind the plot, they receive very little development or screen time. They appear just enough to chase the leads before disappearing again. What's frustrating is that the show isn't short on runtime. Episodes are more than an hour, yet somehow very little meaningful development happens. Character backstories remain underexplored and entire episodes can pass without important progression. there are still enjoyable moments throughout. But it ultimately feels like a story that never fully realizes its potential.Was this review helpful to you?
The wolf princess
I like acting. But but . Overall rating is average because of....The last fight scene was deleted.
I also know that plan of 24 episodes was not there.
There was plan of 30 to 35 episodes.
So. Many plans and scenes were cancelled.
This is the main reason of average rating.
I don't know the main reason behind cancellation but if you can show that all the scenes in season 2 then the results will improve in rating.. So plz cast the season 2 and input the deleted scenes
The yan Qing was the son of wolf king .Then why do you not shown his abilities.
Plz show the last fight in season 2 . If not then the title of 'son of wolf king' will be useless.
I am requesting you for season 2 of the wolf princess...🙏🙏
Thank you I hope you will understand...

0 effort drama
The thumbnail looked good. Actors looked good so I clicked and omg. Seriously it's been quite a while since I watched so bad BL. Nothing make sense, acting is so bad, concept of the story would be okay if well executed and well written but it's not. I just watched few episodes to see how more ridiculous can it get. I call similar to this drama. "0 effort, profiting out of BL obsessed audience, 1 bedroom/house drama". It's so ridiculous omg. Plot doesn't make sense. Contract killer that falls in love with Cop and both are terrible at their job apparently and kidnapped guy that is so quiet locked in basement... Yeah right totally realistic. Kisses were okay but whole falling in love came from nowhere and plot is not explained at all. It went from bad to worse and honestly I won't be wasting more of my time.Was this review helpful to you?
This Drama Broke Me Before It Even Ended… Hats Off to the Madness of Chinese BL!
I’m honestly scared… I feel genuinely depressed just thinking about the ending of this ICONIC drama. I’m completely obsessed with it right now—like, I can’t get enough.The plot, for the most part, is solid if you overlook a few minor flaws, and overall, it was absolutely worth watching. But at this point, I don’t think I can handle a sad ending… not after everything it has already put me through.
From the very beginning, this drama has been emotionally overwhelming. It made me cry in so many scenes that I lost count. Watching two pure souls suffer because of such a judgmental world was just heartbreaking. And yet, somehow, the bond they built through all those hardships feels even deeper, even more real.
Relationships forged through pain just hit differently…
Overall, I truly loved it. It was an unforgettable experience—such a GREAT watch, honestly. ✨💔

Catched since episode 1
The story is incredibly beautiful.Not only Ri Jeong-hyeok often save Se Ri, she also saved him.
I noticed their funny, sweet chemistry as early as episode 1. and that they always found each other again. Soulmates. And the fact that the two actors are actually married and fell in love during the series... soulmates in every Timeline.
But the relationship between the boys and her was also completely sweet; she was just like their big sister.
Must Watch!

Really want to be a part of SF club haha
I loved the idea of SF club , irrespective of their age , people can come together and inspire each other to draw .I feel like the story was too rushed in the last episode .her parents were trash and you are telling me everything got resolved in 1 episode? i need to read the webtoon to understand better , i am sure that will be detailed .
I found Seon Ho and Geu Rin's relationship very messy , they were avoiding each other and not communicating , it was stuck in an endless loop , infact many of the leads were victim of miscommunication.
i was mostly interested in Taeng Ja and khaki's and Tae Seon and sera's relationship lololol , if there is a second season , i hope these character's can get spotlight too !!

WU EP7
The thing about Niran is that he's not quiet for no reason. He navigated his life constantly questioning whether he deserved to be a "Wu" or not because of his grandfather. The way he's been living every day feels so meaningless that he doesn't even want to leave the Life Spirit Realm. He doesn't care if nobody comes to save him because he can't see the difference between the void and the real world.He said he's always been dreaming and chasing after a butterfly, but he never catches it because the butterfly is the shadow of himself—the version of himself he's been running from all along.
I feel like he's passively suicidal. The numbness is too overwhelming for him to feel anything. The fact that he chooses not to leave because he believes there's nothing more to life is so sad. Even the love from the people around him can't save him, and he thinks it's too late for him to return.
The older Niran gave up on his life, but the younger Niran chose to trust Pete because he still had some hope. In this case, Pete actually heals Niran's inner child.

Heo Nam Jun Steals the Spotlight!
This was an entertaining drama purely because of the actors in it. The story is not novel and at times I felt it was made too complex than needed, cause we have come across such stories before. But in spite of that - the soul of this drama were the actors in it - the main leads, the antagonist, the friendly rivals and aides of the main casts. For me, the biggest one was definitely Heo Nam Jun as the ML. Having seen him in support roles or villain/grey characters - this role was truly unexpected, and I am grateful to the casting director for making the choice. He was handsome, sexy, cute and so expressive - what a talent! His shy/cute smile that seemed so awkward given his cold/sharp face (in the scene when he's happy on the inside that the FL is chosen as the main model) is going to live rent-free in my mind, it's already iconic.➥ WHAT WORKED:
● The Acting: It is the soul of the show. The main leads (as expected) were good in comedy, fights, enemies-to-lovers, fire chemistry (that inside-hand kiss? swoon). Just flawless, darling! Heo Nam Jun [ML] was the star for me here - as I already shared. Im Ji Yeon [FL] - we already know of her acting prowess, she was good as ever though on a personal level I always want to b-slap her cause of her role in Glory. But then the fact that I feel that way is the reason that shows how good she is as an actress.
● The Antagonist / Rivals: I love Jang Seung Jo [Mun Do] - having loved him in Familiar Wife where he was a good/goofy character, then the suave/grey role in Death's Game, this was technically the first time I saw him as an antagonist - and he was so magnetic. He was cold and ruthless - as the role demanded, and vulnerable as we get some insights onto his background and what makes him act so. Not justified - yet at the same time I love villains like these. Even the FL's rival - Lee Se Hee [Ji Hyo], I have seen her only in another fav drama of mine: A Virtuous Business - where I loved her character. Here too, she shines - eventually coming across as a spoiled and jealous star actress but eventually you warm up to her. She was great in her role.
● The Aides: Love Love Love "Yoon Byung Hee" [Se Gye Right-hand man] - anytime I see him in a drama, I know he will crack me up. What a loyal and funny secretary. Kim Min Seok [Seori's Manager] - again seen him in countless dramas/movies and he's always playing such different characters. He always looks so young too!
➥ WHAT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME:
● The Pacing: When I started watching the drama, it was so entertaining & I thought that 14 episodes might be too less for such a great drama. But overtime I felt the drama dragged at places. Like I still wanted to watch it - but I was doing it out of obligation to complete the story and not excitement. Basically till Ep 7 I was pressing the "Next Episode" button, forgetting to sleep/eat/drink - but after that the story became serious, and pace was not so-exciting as before. As per me it could have been done better.
● The FL's antics: So this is a comparison and I know each actor would do it differently. Given this drama is very close to one of my all-time favorites "MR QUEEN (2020)" I could not help but compare. While I liked how the FL here was a Queen and therefore acted that way - it felt a little over-the-top and repetitive. SHS as Mr Queen was great - the internal monologue by a man, and then her acting as a woman - it felt natural as if SHS was the character. I felt a disconnect here - cause so many things were simply repetitive. "Comparison is the thief of joy" - I guess it is true but then I can't help it - Mr Queen is like a benchmark for me, and deservedly so.
● The Twist: It was good twist - no doubt, but then the way it was laid out felt very weak to me. And by the time it came - I think many had already guessed it, so it was not that impactful. The idea was good, the execution/delivery did not hand out the "WOW/Mindblown" element.
➥ OVERALL:
Definitely recommend watching - cause it was entertaining. I will not rewatch it entirely - but yes, some romantic moments and definitely scenes of Heo Nam Jun acting coy/cute and cold - will definitely be on loop for me. That smile - iconic.

SPECIAL MENTIONS:
▶Jung Jae Kwang [Se-Gye's doctor friend] - I want this guy to make his main lead debut soon. He is so handsome, and that voice. Loved him here, in Trauma Code & Idol I - and he's so diverse in each role, I can't help but want to see more of him.
▶ Kim Hae Sook [Seori's grandma] - an acting veteran, what can I even say except its always so comforting to see her in any drama. Here too, she carried the emotional and family anchor for the FL and was amazing
▶ Chae Seo An [Tae Hui] - she was a surprise but not really. I had recently seen & loved her in "Perfect Crown (2026)" and even before - royal roles suit her a lot like she was in Moonshine (2021). I want to see her in a main lead role too, I think she's wonderful - beauty and talent! Here too - she played a great role of being a thorn / partner to main leads romance and story with such finesse!
▶ Jung Young Joo [Se Gye's Elder Aunt]: She's always in such a loud/boisterous kind of role - I love seeing her every time she's onscreen. I wish her role here was more, but even in the little time, she's always great.

Didn't Expect This
This drama is as strong as it is thanks to its cast and script. I would especially like to praise Matsushita Kouhei's performance. The entire drama heavily depended on his acting, and he delivered. It can't be easy to build chemistry with so many child actors, but he managed to do so well.The children acting alongside him were also very well cast. The standouts for me were Masuda Risa, Ema, and Okamoto Miku, all of whom gave memorable performances.
The only thing dragging down my rating is the directing. Some camera angles were distracting.
I'd recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys healing dramas centered around children.

Great Start, hot mess rest of the Way.
Rated so highly, and staring a recent FL favourite of mine, i was looking forward to it.The story started off strong and the beginning Village Arc was very enjoyable.
Acting is fantastic, action scenes are great when they happen and music is top notch.
Unfortunately it becomes a hot mess by episode 17.
Uneven pacing, stupid character decisions/direction and flashback galore to tell the story.
It was a real struggle to watch beyond this point.
Writers decided the leads would not talk to each other all of a sudden to the very end, to create distance and misunderstandings.
(A very frustrating troupe).
The War seemed rushed, disappointing considering the build up.
Also felt they spent too much time on certain characters.
I understand they trying to create a badass Female Lead,
but did they have to tear down the MLs to do it? Literally knocking them out cold everytime. LOL.
Then they decided to force a Love triangle out of no where toward the end.
Was a struggle to get to episode 31, and then translation quality was not there and i couldn't watch further.

Too Idealistic for My Taste
The biggest aspect this drama lacked was an in-depth exploration of psychological disorders. The storyline that rubbed me the wrong way the most was Sora's, which is even worse considering he was one of the main characters. I didn't look up whether the drama was based on a manga or something similar, but his storyline was handled so poorly that it was hard to watch. By the time it reached its conclusion, I had already given up on the kid. Not only that, but his actor was probably the weakest performers among the younger cast.The art therapy aspect of the series was nice, but the writer should have included psychiatrists, psychologists, and other specialists, especially when dealing with more extreme cases of school withdrawal. Overall, the casting was good and the drama itself was engaging.
I'd recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys cozy, character-driven stories.

The main couple could have been stronger; I didn't feel that much chemistry between them. And the last few episodes felt a bit dragged out for me and were hard to finish. Those are the only negative points for me.
Aside from that, I loved everything. It's a show that teaches a lot about the pain of letting people go from your life and the grief that remains in those who are left behind. The bride episode was a real standout for me; I confess I even cried a little.

horribly named okay show
the name affair makes you think the whole show is about an affair. honestly even the idea of an affair only comes into play over half way through the show. also there's so much heterosexual drama that i don't care about lol. ek especially was super weird and creepy and that definitely wasn't addressed enough.the actresses were great and i thought the plot was interesting but i genuinely couldn't get into it cause i was just waiting like "when is this show gonna be about an affair" 😭 i think the title gave me false expectations of what the show was gonna be lol.
wan also becomes very weird and toxic after the time skip and lowkey forces herself on her. it was honestly uncomfortable and bordering on criminal at times.
overall i think it could've been a lot better than it was and definitely has it's share of problems. i enjoyed it but i definitely had issues with it lol
