Best drama with proper profession

This show is phenomenal! It was a perfect balance of action, thriller, romance, comedy, you name it...

I like Yoon Myeong-joo and Seo Dae-young storyline more than the main leads....they are so mature, understanding, patiently waiting for each other,they are simply flawless❤..

there are lots of funny scenes like when Kang Mo-yeon walks away after playing music and Yoo Shi-Jin comes and everybody heard her recording???... also when Kang Mo-yeon received the gift package and Yoon Myeong-joo,Seo Dae-young and Yoo Shi-jin all three came running to her, oh my god that scene is really hilarious???? also the soldiers morning merch?? there is also fun bromance that you can say they are partners for crime?.
There is also an another one when Kang Mo-yeon came to the dessert on shi-jin's memorial day to leave the pebble and suddenly heard his deep voice( big boss transmitting...) oh it's given me goosebumps????... This is the best scene ever???...

All the actors carried their roles perfectly (including supporting). With a fantastic military background & a fabulous display of emotions, values & relationships.... this series really keeps you exciting throughout all the episodes, from start to end while pulling out various emotions from you & making you eager to look forward to see 'what's next?'. It was a whole package of comedy, romance, and action.... finally happy & sweet ending makes this series emotionally satisfying???.....

Its very soft and chilling

This is the best written show I have watched with focus on every single character. The writers have done exceptional job in writing the story and at times goosebumps inducing scenarios which relate to one another in complete unexpected way.
One more best part in the story was that the seriousness and dark mode never lasted long and when it did, it faded away with the best climax I have watched. The ending of the story is beautifully and leisurely written which just warms your heart.
Each and every actor and their characters are awesome as they are done justice on till the end.
And how could I not appreciate the lead female, AJI 3(robot), or Jo Ji A, is beautiful both as human and as the Robot from the start.
It's a heart warming series from start till the end which will make you laugh and cry.

Authors are genius to have written such an amazing series. No! It's not the plot that is fascinating.
It's the little details. Every show I watch, I wish I could see a character's reaction for a certain moment. And this one Korean series fulfilled my wishes.

This series has goosebumps inducing authors, amazing directors and the most beautiful actors.

Minor spoiler - The Climax with meteor shower would be the most beautiful part, which I loved as an author and as an audience. It's genius and beautiful.
End of spoiler.

Thank you for this show, and especially, I would like to thank and suggest every director to direct such shows with such ending where we are left with one or two episodes with heart warming smiles and laughter.

And to the people who wrote positive reviews here, thank you. And to those who are reading, just please do watch this show and have a beautiful life.

Do not miss an opportunity to love, and I hope you all find people who would heal your heart.

Story was so good..

An absolutely beautiful show, *See You in My 19th Life* has surpassed all the other kdramas I've seen thus far. It is exquisitely crafted, with every moment captivating and delightful. The inclusion of *Star by Colde*, adds an extra layer of soothing charm. Interestingly, I had listened to this song even before watching the drama, and it truly complements the storytelling.

The show starts off on a high note, skillfully weaving and entangling its storyline without resorting to the typical love triangles found in other kdramas. Moreover, it successfully avoids the inclusion of toxic characters, making it a refreshing and enjoyable experience. I found myself reminiscing about the show's every moment, unable to tear my eyes away.

Despite having other important tasks at hand, I simply couldn't resist watching it in one go. I implore you not to skip this kdrama; you'll forever regret it.

A must watch ?

Good if u want only romance!!

Absolutely loveddddd this k-drama so much!!!!!! I was SHOOK by the chemistry of the main leads, and I loved the whole plot of the show itself too, as well as the costuming and sets throughout the show!!!! There was one part of the show that I didn't like which was showing some kind of temple, but thankfully there was no worship or things like that in any of the scenes. Aside from that, this show has suddenly become my top favorite k-drama, and definitely one of my top 3 favorite shows ever (including c-dramas and k-dramas)!!!!! I also really liked the other main characters (the 2 female friends and their storylines, as well as the 2 males and their contributions to the storyline of the show)! The friendship between Gu Won and No-shik (his assistant/friend) was so funny, entertaining, lighthearted, and wonderful comedy relief at certain points haha. Also, the character development of Gu Won was SO GOOD, start to finish he's almost like two different people (his character grew so well in maturity and leadership by the end, and Gu Won did an excellent job at acting as both versions of his character!!!). There was also noticeable character growth by the other characters too which was very nice to see over the course of the show. Another thing I liked a lot is that the friendship between all 6 main characters was so sweet!!!!! The main female lead and her 2 female friends had a very sweet (and funny) friendship group, and as the male characters got integrated into the friend group it remained very sweet with even moreeee comedy lol!!!! I always love a romantic comedy, and this one just had SO. Many. Points. of romance and comedy, sometimes separate and sometimes combined, and I loved nearly all of them!!!!! I am so grateful I had the chance to watch this show partly while it was still airing (I started watching when a lot of episodes had been released, but still had to wait patiently for the last 4). Those cliff hangers really left me anticipating and waiting for the next episodes to release which is such a crazy experience!!!!! Typically I end up watching popular shows way after the fact lol, but I'm happy I was a part of the excitement this time!!!! Also side note, the actors that played the characters really do seem like fun and genuine people in real life which made the show even more enjoyable and sweet!!!! You can easily tell they get along well in real life and it just translates very clearly in the dynamics of their characters and friendships/relationships!!! Aaaaaaa I definitely lovedddd this show and I'm sad it ended, but I'm really glad I got to watch it, and I can't wait until the time when I definitely go back to re-watch in the future!!!!

Realistic BL that shows our society.

First of all I really liked this BL because it was based on reality.
I just want to tell everyone if you want your relationship to be good so never ever involve a third person in it.
I only liked the character of Makki because he did what was right and he was straight forward.Maybe people will not agree with me but Makki was brave enough to leave them and Eiji was the shit character.
He was shown as an adult but he didn't do a single thing like an adult.
He was terrified from his dad and didn't fight back even though he had a job and was independent.
But you know what was the villian in this story that was Mieko.She was a good friend but she gave the most idiotic idea ever which leads to the break up.
And she always said I don't really like men but she did end up marrying Eiji.And that jerk said I like you too like bit*h please choose your sexuality first then date.
I liked the ending that Makki didn't return to Eiji and started living his life.

Seriew with this subject matter should be banned

This series is all kinds of wrongs. I love this actrice, but romanticizing weight loss as a means to be happy is very damaging, specially for young girls. Creators should focuse in building stories of self love and acceptance. Only watched 2 episodes and got totally shocked by the fact that a series with type of narrative is still being aired. Also, the "friend" is a horrible bully. And the possible boyfriend looks like another narcissistic men like the ones we see in many dramas. Maybe this character is the more realistic of them all, unfortunately... cheers from Brasil. ?

Kill Or Be Killed!


I've only watched a few episodes so far and would binge them all if I could, but unfortunately its getting far too late.

No complaints, however.

It is well paced, there are no fillers and it gets into the nitty gritty from about 15 or so minutes in.

What could be better than that?!

This drama series is more or less about a part time working student, Lee Tang, who kills a man with a hammer near his work place (convenient store) late one night in self defence. The only witness is a blind woman and her dog only she plays dumb. Not long after the killing Lee Tang discovers on the news that the man was actually under an alias name and responsible for quite a few murders. To make it worse, however, the blind woman decides to black mail the poor lad for money and from there more and more things start to add on to make his life just that tinier bit colourful...

No OSTs have stood out for me at all or been noticed really although the sound effects used have been in the right places - perfect for the scene or situation.

I recognise the male lead from a few other drama series like Rooftop Prince (not finished watching) and some Summer one, I think. Didn't get too far into that one as it wasn't quite holding my interest.

With this drama it is quite straight forward, interesting and touches on the possibility of someone that is either about to lose their mind if not already or spiral out of control towards becoming a serial killer themselves. Too late!

I'm crossing my fingers that the remaining 6 episodes are just as enthralling with a few hanging on the edge of my chair moments.

Recommended!

Fluffy romcom for when you have nothing else to watch!

Another drama i took so long to watch, well tbh agter reading the comments I had give up watching this, but I found it in a fluffy romcom list, and thats the genre I really like, plus i had nothing else to watch soo why not just give it a chance.

It wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad at all. If you have nothing else to watch, you like fluffh romcom, then you can watch this. Its nothing great, but I've definitely seen worse, and I don't regret watching it.

I liked the ML and FL together, I also dont really like older woman and younger men show, but the second couple was okay, I liked them (if you get passed how fast they got together ?), the thurd couple... I just skipped them eventually when needed, there was no need for them to be a couple tbh!.

I liked how when the FL and ML finally got together, the FL didn't just accept right away, it made sense the way she was thinking, if you watch it you'll understand.. don't want to spoil it, but I'm happy that she didn't just accept him right away after trying to woo him for so long, she wanted to make sure that it was "real" and he was genuine. I don't mind the ending, for a fluffy, simple show, it was fine.

Ps. I've come to realize I just need to watch whatever I feel like, reagrdless of comments, rating etc, you just never know what you'll find. It definitely satisfied the drama slump I was in, and there is no heavy angsty stuff, so again.. if you're into fluffy romcom, that's simple you may like this, if not then you may not like this, either way, whether you give it a try or not its up to you! ??

So unique!

The plot is so creative; it's one of the best plots I've ever watched in BLs, actually. Making reality into a game was a genius move; it allowed the authors to get carried away with reactions, plot twists, and mysteries without them not making any sense or being random, because after all, no matter what would come on, it would have to make sense since it's in the game. Even slightly cringeworthy moments or characters' rushed development were totally fine, because they could've been a bit caricaturized. However! That didn't make the story all fluffy, boring, or lacking. I absolutely loved the background for the little love story of Myungha and Yeowoon, especially that out-of-the-box ending. Although I still feel like we could've been provided with more information about the game itself, etc., I wholeheartedly hope for a spin-off. Watching all these dramas, you can notice how most of them don't bring anything to the table—this series totally does. Creative, interesting, engaging storylines; amazing acting; outstanding visuals (I loved how the director provides viewers with shots typical for video games; it just makes the whole experience even more enjoyable). There's nothing tired or corny about it. They served quality AND quantity, since that's one of the longest KBLs we've got so far. Honorable mention for music; it was one of the best soundtracks I've heard in BLs. The only con I could think of is, as I've stated prior, the lack of disclosure regarding the author of the game, how the game works, how it is controlled, and how he managed to stay inside—but that doesn't make the show any less great and it's not like it was absolutely necessary for the author to touch upon those things; it just makes me hope for a second season.

Light and Romantic Story

Cant stop watching and it's really hard to wait for the next episode. It gives positive mood to those who are in love ..The chemistry between the two leads is electrifying, igniting the screen with sparks of passion and tenderness. Their journey is not without its challenges, as they navigate through the complexities of their pasts and the uncertainties of their futures. Heartwarming tale that will melt even the coldest of hearts. With its stunning visuals, compelling performances, and heartfelt storytelling.

Mixed-feelings and draining emotions but very impressive drama❤︎

It took me a long time to finish this lakorn, but the feeling of satisfaction was worth it when I finished watching it!!! I think this drama is really "something" extraordinary.

This lakorn tells about the revenge of a stepson, Tor, against his evil stepmother and stepbrother and even attempted murder when Tor was still child.

Tor was thought to be dead but in fact he was still alive and even became a rich man who then took the opportunity to seek revenge when he grew up.

While making plans for revenge, he met his old female friend when he was little, Mintra. She was the person who always helped Tor when he was being abused by his mother and stepbrother, even though Mintra herself was also a stepdaughter in her family.

Tor always threw his old identity away but Mintra believed that Tor was her little friend so she always pestered Tor to force him to admit it.

Apart from targeting his stepmother and stepbrother, he also targeted Min's step sister, who always unite with his stepbrother to bullying him.

Tor fell in love with Min since childhood and when he saw her again, the feeling of love returned but he couldn't because he had to carry out his mission. He would rather take revenge than live with the person he loves.

There are many plots that I think are very painful and I don't agree, such as Tor dating and even sleeping with Min's stepsister, then Tor always using force on Min even though he really loves her, but this means there are many lessons that can be learned from this lakorn. There is no benefit in taking revenge, in fact you will lose many people you love.

I rewatched this drama several times but only the sweet part because it was very tiring too much conflict. I admit this drama is very good and I even recommend it to people. This lakorn also made me interested in watching other Thai dramas.─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

MY COMFORT DRAMA EVER!!!₊˚⊹ ᰔ

I don't know how to describe this drama, I fell in love with every detail!! I can't count how many times I have re-watched this drama, every time I feel bored I will return to this drama and my life feels more colorful✧˖°.

The cinematography is very beautiful, I don't understand much about color, lighting, contrast and so on but what I know is this drama feels so perfect to watch and refreshes my eyes.

The music is also very easy-listening, I even made a special playlist for all our beloved summer OSTs on my Spotify which I listen to repeatedly every day.

STORYLINE??? I swear this drama is very similar to the reality of my life, maybe that's why I feel this drama really suits me well?? HAHAH idk but I agree that getting back together with someone from the past is not a bad thing as long as we can fix previous mistakes and not make new mistakes.

Kook Yeon-Soo, many people don't like her character because she is unstable and silent treatment but I can understand her because life having to determine priorities is very difficult to live. She looks independent and strong even though she is very weak inside, every time I see her I feel like I want to be her bestfriend :(

Choi Ung, cute and pure men but in his heart and mind he also carries many burdens. He seems to really not care about life and lazy because his parents are rich BUT behind it all he is afraid of failure because he was abandoned several times by the people he loves.

The love story of two weak characters who pretend to be strong, two characters who have emotional and mental unstable is depicted perfectly, proving that flaws put together can give strength.

The development of the characters from they hating each other, becoming couple, becoming enemy again and ending up becoming love again, is told in a very complex and quite frustrating way, but that's where the beauty of this drama is.

I always recommend this drama to everyone because the world should know that there is a drama whose story is not too complicated but is very impressive─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

simple but interesting drama⋆。‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧。⋆

My very first Zhao Lusi’s drama that I watched! I didn't think I would like this drama so much!? Every time I feel tired I rewatch this drama, it really saved my life!

Zhao Lusi and Ding Yuxi's chemistry as Chen Qian Qian and Han Shuo are amazing!! They are my comfort couple, hope to see them working together again in another drama-`♡´-

This drama is actually very simple, there isn't too much conflict, it focuses more on romance interspersed with comedy and that really suits me.

There are only 24 episodes, for a Chinese costume drama it's very short, but from this drama I fell in love with Zhao Lusi and Ding Yuxi very deeply until now, they are the best!✨

This drama unexpectedly exploded and became famous both in China and internationally, as a loyal viewer who always rewatches this drama, I know this drama and all teams really deserves it.─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

A bit lacking, but a great drama overall.

This drama was a cliche but it was an enjoyable watch indeed. I loved the chemistry between the main characters, I love the friendship that it portrayed.

Overall, It wasn't the best but I enjoyed it. The acting was great too. Yoona and Junho did such a good job. They were truly made for romcom.

I am not much of a romcom person, so I couldn't enjoy this drama as much. But if you enjoy romcom, then you should definitely give King the Land a try. Exceptional cast and intriguing story line, go for it!!

Melancholy and cheerfulness

I enjoyed watching this series. I had few expectations at the outset and so was pleasantly surprised.

There are two things, in my opinion, that make the series work - the game concept, which adds an original dimension to the pursuit of the love interest, and the contrast between the two main characters, one cheerful and the other morose. I enjoyed watching how this dynamic shifted as the story progressed. The jealous side character also provided an interesting element.

Some things didn't work for me - the part-time work on the side, who was modelling and for whom, was not that convincing. And while I was okay with how the story developed, like other viewers I found the last two episodes too rushed and underdeveloped.
