I loved it.

First of all, yes I'm a sucker for visuals. If you are too then don't hesitate to watch! Their visuals are on my top 3 in japanese bl, number one is kieta hatsukoi and followed by my beautiful man on number 2!

Second, I didn't expect anything bcs of the rate i literally watched it bc i didn't have anything to watch and i swear it's the best decision ever. People's taste are surely different each person. Maybe because slowburn is my favorite trope? Slowburn+good visuals? I'm down! Also their acting aren't bad either? The storylines are fine too

In short, I love this drama, they give me butterflies, and their first kiss? Hands down the smoothest one yet.

Worth my time!

A Mind blowing Experience

This series is an addiction, it's a thrilling ride that never ends till the last second of the 46th Episode. It'll leave you empty & unfulfilled with any other drama. I'm desperately in search of another series with this kind of badass emperor, I often find myself missing the witty, all knowing emperor that could never be manipulated by mere tricks & had a firm grip on power and everyone beneath him.

Fan Xian's character is such a well rounded, multi-faceted hero /anti-hero, you'll find yourself rooting for him and wouldn't even mind him having a harem (inside joke for those who have watched this lol)

Every Character is so well written from Chen Ping Ping to Duo Duo and everyone else he meets in the course of the show

I've never watched something so brilliantly written & thoroughly captivating

amazing BL drama

This is by far my favourite BL series I have watched. While watching this I went through a turmoil of emotions, I felt like I was on a rollercoaster but it was definitely worth it. I loved the character development on all 4 of the main leads. To top it off both couples had 6 episodes for themselves which made it more enjoyable; seeing that I was able to see the growth of their relationships beginning to end without being confused or lost. I loved this so much that I could honestly re-watch this series right now even though I just finished it about 10 minutes ago or so. I'm shocked at how many bad reviews there are on this series. some saying that they felt that the intimacy was fake or off but I feel the opposite; I felt like they were truly in love, whether it be with actions or words. Many have said that they would compare this to KINNPORSCHE which I could see where they got this idea from however this is a "calmer" version of it. I would say if you are hesitant on watching this because of a few bad reviews, just watch it. Everyones opinion will be different so just create your own after you watch it.

Yawn, See You Never!!

Interesting beginning! When I was watching while it aired I couldn’t wait till the next episode. Then, around Episode 9 is where it started to fall off. Of course, the drama isn’t exactly going to follow every plot of the webtoons but, See You In My 19th Life added unnecessary drama to move the plot.

Examples:
— Aunt getting sick
— Ji-eum Bam having to erase all her memories from her past life

And much more. My problem which these plots were that, what’s to Ji-eum Bam without her past memories? It just makes her flat and bland. Other than that, it became very boring and dramatic after Episode 9 and the ending wasn’t very satisfying.

Do watch if you want, but avoid if you don’t like unnecessary and unexplained plots later on.

NEVER WATCHING THIS AGAIN.

Ahhh.... let's start from the beginning high school, let's all face it you liked her then and now y the ML is just so fucking annoying and narcissistic.

The FL honestly I really like her but I just don't like how she just played with 12+ people's hearts it isn't fair on them and also I honestly feel like the SML was so nice and would've also made the perfect boyfriend but of course and if you've watched love alarm she ended up with the SML and honestly that wasn't too bad.

Another thing is that this story was WAAAAAY to fucking predictable like you could state everything that would happen at the end of ep 3.

Another is the ML "trauma", Look I know that trauma comes is different ways but his own was Wayyy to stupid man it was just lacking that GUSTO to make it tangible.

But in all honesty, I was shocked at the ratings, they didn't do the SML justice and I really wished that she had ended up with him instead of some narcissistic, annoying, self-absorbed jerk.

The cute school drama I have been looking for

Lately I have been wanting to watch a nice, lighthearted school drama and watching "My School President" definitely hit that mark for me. I felt as if the leads had a good dynamic and chemistry and I loved so many other aspects about this series especially the OST. I do not watch many shows from Thailand and from the ones I have seen, this is by far my favorite. It was super wholesome, an easy watch, the product placement in the show was done very nice compared to other series I have seen.

I do feel as if this show dragged a little bit with underdeveloped side couples and plot was a little weird/unfinished.

Favorite character of the series was the school president, Tinn, played by Gemini Norawit Titicharoenrak. I loved his character and how genuine he felt to me with his actions. Seeing him made me smile a lot and I am definitely going to miss this series for him alone.

Beautiful

It is a very cute and fun BL to watch. It is very unique because it shows the perspective of countryside living verses the typical city life that is seen in most dramas. It is pretty accurate, so I found it enjoyable and relatable. The plot is well done, the soundtrack is lovely, and I would say that it has one of the best kiss scenes ever. The only downside I can think of is that it was too short, but they wrapped it up pretty well considering.

Another thing that is unique is Yechan's overly dramatic facial expressions, making the BL seem more like a cute BL comedy rather than a drama.

Important lessons from the imperfect victim

I've read a few reviews where the reviewer blames the victims of poor choices. This drama is for the mature audience with an open mind and a open heart. As the title suggests "imperfect victim" is just that. The young victim made all the wrong choices but that doesn't mean she deserved to be assaulted. Victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and/or rape often face society prosecution in addition to dealing with legal hurdles. Even in the U.S. the stats of % of women that are sexually harassed, assaulted, raped are staggering. Although this subject is rather heavy, the drama does contain a lot of good information worth knowing.

Cast:
FL lawyer - Amazing! I love her acting & her character.
FL Victim - I think she improved a lot as an actress but could be better.
ML the accused - He's one of my favorite veteran actors.
Strong supporting cast all around, my favorite being FL lawyer's side kick, the female cop & the ex security guard.

The drama introduces the FL lawyer entering a dinner party responding to a guest pressuring her to drink: "I will only have one drink. Anyone that expects more than 1 drink I will leave." She's confident, successful & powerful.

Separately the victim, who's young & beautiful. She's timid and one night got pressured into drinking till she passes out leading to a night of unfortunate events. Later on she's judged as the gold digger and a party girl because she was drinking with powerful old men. She didn't say "No" therefore she was "fine" with it even if all her body language clearly shows she detested all that was going on.

There are going to be lots of frustrating scenes but it's also realistic and maybe it can bring more awareness on social norms that need to be changed & on laws that need to be improved upon.

Well done drama with a very good cast on a topic that's often overlooked. Probably not going to be a popular drama but I think it would be beneficial especially for women to watch this.

Better than the source novel and gets even better each episode

This is probably the only drama that is much better than the original source novel. And the unique quality of this drama: it gets better as the episodes go on.

The world building in this drama is stunningly done. All the clans have their own flavor to them. It has some really beautiful cgi+ cinematography too.

The best thing about this drama? The relationships!

Bai Xuelu and Qing Gang start off as enemies but they end up becoming the sweetest couple there is. Bai Xuelu has the best character growth I've seen in any drama. She starts off as your usual green tea 2nd fl, but you can see from the start, there's something special about her. At the end she becomes so empowered and a overall great human being. She had potential and definitely achieved it! Qing Gang is just so righteous and charming. There relationship developed very organically.

Bai Xueying and Shi Yu fell in love a little too fast but they are the much needed calmness amidst all the knives in this drama.

Now are main couple: Shi Ying is the best! Whatever it is, looks, righteousness, kindness, backstory. He is the best in everything. This man even has some good humour mind you, definitely not your usual shifu. He and Zhu Yan are more or less the same age too! He is just so pure, I cried for him the most. He deserves the world but the world is too cruel to him.
Now Zhu Yan, I admit she's kinda annoying. I hated the way she treats Zhi Yuan. She calls him a friend but her actions kind of suggest something more than that. I was secretly happy everytime Great Grand Priest reprimanded her lol. But at the end she redeems herself with a ton of sacrifices.
Xiao Zhan always does a great job playing whatever character he gets. His emotional scenes and they eat he carries himself in character are really non-questionable. Ren Min does crying scenes like no other. Wang Churan is really good too.


Da Siming aka Great Grand Priest is my favorite character. He's this no bullshit guy everyone fears. And the only person who actually gets works done and puts the useless emperor on line. The emperor is too useless he gives me a headache. The empire wouldn't last a day if anybody depended on the Emperor. I liked the friendships in this drama too. Bai Xueying, Zhu Yan, Qing Gang trio was fun.
Chong Ming is sooo fun to watch. He's adorable, confident, hilarious and savage. Our most beautiful and favorite divine bird!!

The true OTP of this drama? Why yes it's obviously Chong Ming and Shi Ying.

Lighthearted lovestory

I watched all (currently 3/7) episodes so far and I love it.
The story starts starts where Love in the Air ends: with a marriage from one of the LITA couples (I won't tell you which). The wedding planner is a lighthearted young guy doing his job with passion, but someone has his eye set on him, even though that someone is to be wed to a woman. And so the story unfolds ...
It is nice to see a story without backstabbing drama or accidental meetings being mistaken for cheating. I have to admit that the 2 main actors do a great job: falling in (forbidden) love. Forbidden because of the pending marriage thing, remember? Our wedding planner does his best to be all cool with that, but he's fighting a losing battle here.
It's a pleasing show to the eye, has comedy in it, longing, affection and in fact all actors do a great job!
Currently at episode 3 and the end if quite the cliffhanger ...
Recommendation to watch: 100%

Another drama with a damsel in distress FL

I watched this because my bf said this was his 2nd fave kdrama. But I think he was just watching this for Jisoo.

The drama is politics, and it all started because of the scheme thought out between North Korea and South Korea to get a political party to win the election. A North Korean spy on a mission in South Korea ends up intertwining with a university female student, and now he's forced to hold the whole college dorm hostage.

I started in 1x speed but had to ramp it up to 1.25x because of how slow paced it was. The whole drama basically takes place in the school, with the students being held captive all day every day. Ep 9 is when things finally start picking up.

I do enjoy the action and thriller aspects of this drama. It felt like an emotional rollercoaster watching the ups and downs they go through every time something new is uncovered. There is romance sprinkled throughout every time the main leads get together. The romance was that symbol of innocence amidst the politics and cruel time period they were living in. You feel for them. You yearn with them for how their life could have turned out if they were just normal people without their background to hold them back.

I could not care for the female lead/Jisoo. She was your typical useless damsel in distress who did nothing but cry the whole drama. Even her dad doesn't listen to her, despite the amount of times she thinks he will. Cheong-ya, or Yoo In Na really carried the show for me. She was such an amazing actress.

I personally wouldn't recommend this drama but it was a decent time period drama with good thrills.

This series it’s one of a kind. Really went to the spot. Did not disappoint. The atmosphere was right, the soundtracks were outstanding, the way the actors portrayed the scenes let as go deep into what the characters were feeling at the moment. The storyline was so well made that I had no doubts on keep watching the 8 episodes.
From the first scene, the drama got my attention.
Claps to the outstanding performance. In no time I could sympathize and got attached to every word. This drama served voice, views, great acting, perfect cast and several songs i will take to my heart and listen on repeat. 10/10
