A plot like Swiss cheese - full of holes

Where to start? I watched to the end, with a lot of fast-forwarding through scenes: fight scenes, plotting & meeting scenes, and ANY scene with the character Li Yan! (We'll get to her later). The story was choppy and had a lot of loose ends. Random characters kept getting thrown in here and there for no good reason, and a lot of scenes were drawn out and pointless. A lot of wandering through forests and paths, with hooded villains coming out of the trees. We were left wondering what happened to some characters (Chuchu's little brother), what the point of some characters really was (Third Prince - so naive and dumb). For a series with so many episodes, the writing and directing needs to be of a much higher and more efficient caliber, or else - fast forward!

There wasn't enough character development - they lumped couples together (which is fine if you tell their stories effectively) and the relationships were cute and believable but shallow. The ML & FL had some chemistry, but their facial expressions were the same throughout - and although they had some cute and touching moments together (when he takes the medicine and lays next to her waiting on the result...) they were just ok.

I just have to vent about one character in particular - because I was screaming at her throughout the entire series and feel that she got far too much screentime! Li Yan! What an ass! To say she was a moron would be a step up for her character (I know the actress is only playing the role) but D-U-M-B as a box of rocks! I am becoming acutely aware that writers tend to portray some of the secondary roles as totally inept and brainless. Either that, or they are obsessive and delusional about a perceived love-interest. This trend is particularly disturbing to me since there is usually a badass FL who they want to seem as smart and strong. However, making the other females be idiots isn't the way to go. I've seen a few dramas - and there are always those kinds of characters in the bunch, but this one took the cake - she definitely was the worst one written.

Would I rewatch it? No. They told their story, but it was forgettable. The writers couldn't even end the story well, and that says a lot because the characters all got 'happy endings' but very underwhelmingly so.

What a shame

B+

It felt like listening to a song starting off wrong then turning beautiful right before it suddenly stopped.

I thought this would be a simple high school plot. It turned out more mature I imagined it’d be in the second season. I’d been given passion through discomfort, resentment and repression, To My Star wise. However, everything was shattered with a simple reconciliation leading to a plot lacking the slightest spark. The leads have been put aside to give space to unnecessary subplots. The story ended with episode 4.

Notwithstanding the aborting season 3, what had become a good surprise quickly turned into a disappointment.

So much potential ruined by $5 budget :(

Not too good, kind of pointless. It had a lot of potential with the plot and the casting. This would've been so so so good if Dojeon liked Hana slowly and gradually instead of just suddenly liking her, it feels like things just happen, not gradually just abrupt out of nowhere like Yeoeun and Gongdae dating? It really has nothing to offer other than Xiumin being casted as the male lead, I did like Yeoeun and Gongdae though, Dojeon was also cute and likable. It honestly seems like the writers were really trying to give it a plot but it fell short due to this drama being so incredibly short. The mini fight in episode 5 would've been much more sad with the music in the background if it happened after awhile, but it happened just so suddenly?? Even with all I said I think the almost ending (just before the ending) was quite cute with Seolhee watching, too bad this drama wasn’t longer :( the dynamic between Hana and Dojeon was so cute!

Face off.

While looking for her long lost sister, Shi Qi is overpowered by the scheming Prime Minister's daughter Shen Qin. When she wakes up, she discovers that a magician used dark magic to swap her face with that of Shen Qin. She finds herself married to General Xiao Hansheng in Shen Qin's place. Shen Qin assumes Shi Qi's identity and returns to the side of her lover the ambitious and ruthless Prince Ning. Shi Qi is unable to expose Shen Qin to either man as her sister is held hostage by Shen Qin. The plot tightly weaves together lurid affairs, murder and intrigue, treason and breathtaking, titillating romance. The suspenseful tension climaxes in a satisfying face off between the two women with a gobsmacking twist. Best to steer well clear of spoilers for this one.

While the chemistry between the lead couple sizzles with passionate intensity, there is a quiet authenticity in how their relationship blossoms. The powerful hook of this romance is the simple convincingly articulated idea that Shi Qi has a unique identity that transcends her physical appearance and her true soulmate can sense her soul, the core of who she is. This is at sharp contrast with Prince Ning who lacks insight and does not have the same connection with his lover. That said, the second couple's dark chemistry is also alluring enough to make me root for them. While the story is quite dark, the dialogue is infused with wit and humour. The rapport and banter between the general and his much aggrieved military advisor hilariously and effectively captures the evolution of the general's feelings.

There is little to find fault with in the crisp, intriguing plot and the heartfelt performances by the young cast. Indeed these gorgeous young actors can give lessons to their more established peers on how kiss scenes should really be done and how not to sleepwalk through a drama. Is it a masterpiece? Nope but it is addictive enough for me to rate it an 8.0.

Bottom line - this is a total find of a delectably sexy and suspenseful romantic short-length drama that you must start watching now. Just do it. And thank @Noel for this stupendously good recommendation.

A Star of Hope

In a world in which movies and series have come to revolve around sex and toxic relationships, there still are precious gems glistening in the dirt for you to pick up. One such gem is 6 from High&Low The Worst – a beautiful, thought-provoking story of friendship and love, and their power to heal and uplift even the most desolate of us.

If I could give this series eleven stars, I would have done so because it deserves way more recognition than it has got. Most importantly, it deserves to be watched not only by fans of the action-packed High&Low franchize. Taking a step away from the fighting that the franchize is famous for, it explores the human nature and the transformative effect that the kindness of others has on it.


If you are a newcomer to the world of High&Low, you can enjoy this story as a stand-alone, although my advice is to skim through the movie High&Low The Worst first to learn helpful background information about the characters, especially about Arata. This will give you insight into their personalities and make you like and understand them more. You might also stop reading my review because it contains spoilers from the previous instalments.

For established fans of the franchize, this series will be a joy to watch.
High&Low The Worst left me craving for more information about the six childhood friends. Their tight-knit group endeared itself to me immediately, and their readiness to go through hell and back for each other made me admire them even more by the end of the movie. This series traces their lives in the aftermath of the Hope Hill massacre that brought Arata back home and fleshes them out as characters while again testing their love and loyalty for each other. Individually and together, they are good-hearted people with relatable dreams and struggles, and it is almost impossible not to root for them.

A tasty omelette leads Arata, who works as a welder and is slowly but steadily getting his life back on track, to a surprising discovery about his family that inspires him to pursue his childhood dream and maybe even help another youngster gone astray find a purpose in life.

Seiji, "a star of hope for a desperate community," still excels at his studies and is on his way toward a bright future – or at least he was on his way. Amidst the joy of reuniting with his closest friends, tragedy strikes, threatening to take away the life that he has known until now from him.

Strong girl Madoka is preparing for a clarinet competition that means more to her than her friends know, while cheerful Masaya and quiet Shinya deal with the challenges that love throws their way.

Finally, good-natured but hot-headed Fujio, the narrator of this story and the heart of the group, who brings everyone together, fights against the waves of life with both fists and heart, learning and maturing in the process.

If the principled delinquents of Oya High are the ones who have charmed you, do not worry: cool Tsukasa, jittery Jamuo, and their friends Shibaman and Tsuji are also here, and although they do not have much screen time, their story is memorable. As an old friend suffering from loneliness and poverty returns to town, it is up to them to open their hearts to forgiveness and save him.


There are so many things that 6 from High&Low The Worst deserves praise for that it will be difficult for me to mention all of them, so I will underscore those that left the biggest impression on me.

The representation of women in this series is laudable. Madoka with her fearlessness and kindness is not the only one who shines. Maho, Zumi, and Fujio's mother, while being physically weaker than the guys, are more than a match for them in spirit. As a girl who grew up with boys for friends and lost her father, I relate to their struggles and feel inspired by their inner strength way more than by the "strong, independent woman" archetype that Hollywood has been promoting in its movies.

The two budding romances are cute and healthy. Tough guys Masaya and Shinya's becoming shy and mumbling in front of their crushes is funny and delivers an important message: a real man is not someone who abuses the weak or refuses to show vulnerability, but someone who is reliable, gentle, and strong when the situation requires it.

As is typical for this franchize, the bromance is both subtle and obvious.
Tsukasa and Fujio are going strong despite their limited screen time together. The more cool-headed Tsukasa steps in as a voice of reason when quick-tempered Fujio is about to do something stupid without thinking it through. They are a great duo, whose respect for and devotion to each other is admirable.
The sweet bromance between Seiji and Arata, which was hinted at in High&Low The Worst, was suggested in this series too. I hope that it will be developed more in the subsequent installments because they have great chemistry.


Overall, I think that this series is more than worth the watch. Heart-breaking, healing, and uplifting, it teaches that friendship, love, and forgiveness are the greatest force for good in life.

…

Yes i understand that it was a short BL and korean BLs are known to not be as good as thai BLs. But this show felt so pointless .. like we didn’t see any kissing or anything that you normally see is basically any romance show. It was obvious that Ro A liked Ji Woo and then when Ji Woo finally confessed his feelings, he wanted to act like he never liked him. But the whole story with the girl being stalked and them helping her out was just not needed. Like it just seemed like the MLs were focused around that one girl and we didn’t rly get to see much of the “feelings” that the two guys were talking about. Idk I just felt like “ok yeah this is happening but why did We have to see it?”

Not your typical romance

Starting this series, I wasn't expecting to call it my number one after finishing but god, does it deserve this place. Seeing Off and Gun again as main roles made my expectations high from the start, since Theory of Love proved how good their chemistry is but i dare to say that here it was even better.
Not Me story is not your typical thai bl and you have to watch it being aware of it from the start. The tone is much more serious, topics sometimes heavier and there's not as much humor (no funny sounds which you might know from some titles lol). The story doesn't rely on the romance as much, at least not in the first five-ish episodes. Of course, there are some close proximity moments but you can tell that the plot is more important.
What i loved the most about this series was its pace. Usually, shows like that rely on certain checkpoints which keep the viewer engaged, but also can leave us feeling empty after said checkpoint is complete. Here, before getting to one awaited moment, let's say, first kiss, a thing usually awaited in romance series, there is another goal already in the viewer's mind which doesn't let you have a second of boredom or a filler moment. Every scene feels needed and it leads to something (maybe except for some advertisement moments but hey, they have to make money somehow and even this didn't bother me that much).
To sum everything up, I believe Not Me is a must watch for anyone looking for a good, engaging story and I'll surely come back to it.

A story just for me, but not for me

This show seem to have been made just for me..

The acting is everything I have ever wanted, when you put three people in a house and just scream action and they manage to pull through then you know that's perfection...

Character driven plots is why I watch jdramas, people sitting standing, screaming crying out long dialogues as the go through life and all you can do is sit there and watch them go through these emotions because that's all you can do for them...

The way this drama was directed the music this drama used is why I go hunting for dramas like this it gives you a nostalgic longing feeling of something you can't remember something you can't have but yet you still want... That slice of life sombre feeling that you get knowing that this story could be happening next door to you...

You see this drama was made in perfection, my lecture lr use to say everyone starts off with 10 out of 10 and then from there we minus, so let's go into something I feel played an even bigger role in how I rated this show...

That child is barely out of his teenage years, and that man is his uncle, as a mother when I introduce an uncle to you, he remains an uncle to you THAT IS A NIN NEGOTIABLE.... there is a +-20 Yr gap that will never sit well with me and made this show impossible for me to watch I had this sinking unsettling feeling as the show went on and even more so when no-one else seem to feel the same... Fiction or not I stand by a fact 5 yrs age gap max as long as we are both above 20 and from the age of 30 we can argue the numbers... I would never let my girl child in such a relationship, not to talk of my boy child (even the casting department had to cast actors with 9 yrs difference in real life to sell this story, how about trying the actual 20??) this I give a - 5... I wonder if the gender played a role in this acceptance??

My next big no is the relationship In shared with his parents... I know the universal message is love conquers all, I know "love is patient, love is kind, it does not boast, it does not envy and it most definitely does not happen to father and son who share some similarities"

Me being wangs' mother or wangs' father and the type of past I shared with In as a lover (s*x or no s*x) ?? Or a best friend I could never comprehend this relationship, if I put you in my child's life early in or later on its not for you to screw them, the role I expect you to play has nothing to do with you screwing them... I could have looked past the age gap in the name of fiction if this man was a stranger, but the messiness that is the parents and In's relationship makes it impossible for me to lol past this relationship for what it was ... So - 5 (I have more to say on this topic but am trying to make this short)

So my three points go as follows
Wang, In, mol +1

The story and how some issues where looked into to the pint that despite my dropping skills and reservations I watched to the end... +2

The small town was lacking charm

From the first episode, the townspeople didn't give the best impressions. They had no boundaries & got upset at Jiyul, the ML, for daring to express not being comfortable with it. While their behavior is somewhat common compared to other small town dramas, in this one, they failed to make the townspeople endearing (except for the young boy child & Jiyul's assistant but they were never unlikable in the first place.)

For some, they would've liked Jiyul to be one of those bold MLs but I like the fact that he was mostly cool & collected. Throughout the drama, I couldn't help but to feel a bit bad for him as the people around him didn't respect his boundaries or expected things of him. However, he wasn't overbearing but he did say what he needed to when it mattered. As for Jayoung, the FL, because of her upbringing it made sense why she was a people pleaser, even if it was frustrating to watch at times. At the start , she was also one of those who couldn't respect ML's boundaries & was upset at him for him not remembering her (even though meeting her was associated with a bad childhood incident) so it took some time for me to warm up to her.

Because of FL's behavior towards ML (up until he remembers her), I wouldn't say that I was strongly invested in them as a couple but rather I just accepted that they would be together & waited to see it happen. They were kind of awkward when they got together but it was the kind that comes when you first start dating someone. I would've liked to see more moments of them as a couple, including having their ending better developed.

There was too much time spent on resolving the love triangle. Some were able to look past Sanghyun being passive aggressive towards ML & his childish behavior because of his looks, I guess, but he was irritating & made me want to skip his scenes. It was difficult for me to take him as a serious love interest when he looked like he could be the FL's younger brother. He was alright when he was being a friend to her (& it would've been better if they kept him that way) but when he started showing his romantic interest towards FL he became annoying. Whenever FL was going to reject him, he would stop her from doing so. (Sure, she should've been more firm in pushing the conversation but, again, she's a people pleaser & didn't want to risk losing his friendship too.) But, it wasn't bad enough to have only him so then they added ML's ex, who of course wanted him back, into the plot. Although ML made it clear to her that he wasn't interested in getting back together, that didn't stop her from sticking around for a bit.

When a love triangle is basically the only plot, & is only over with two episodes left, there's not much to enjoy. Instead of dragging it out, the focus could've been more on the leads as a couple, ML deciding on the future regarding his work, FL learning how to speak up for herself, & seeing the secondary couple get together. All of those things did happen but they felt as a matter of fact & were rushed. Maybe this drama is better as a binge watch rather than waiting for episodes to air. The good thing is that episodes are short & it's not a long drama.

For those looking for something to watch that won't make you think after finishing a heavier drama, then I guess you may like this drama. I don't remember the music (but I had to give it a 1 rating). There were times where the FL's acting was awkward & I didn't really care for the SMLs acting either. (I've watched all of Joy's main roles so I think it was the directing here that made her come off awkward.) I think there are better short length dramas out there so this wouldn't be at the top of my list to recommend nor would I rewatch it (but I had to give it a 1 rating).

Le Sserafim is one of the group that the debut is i look forward to. Since there's 2 ex-Izone members, Sakura & Chaewon, and PD48 trainee, Huh Yunjin. Despite the controversies, their debut was amazing! I love all of the songs in the album. It's been months after the release and I still didn't get tired listening to their songs.

After watching this I'm amazed by all of the girls bravery. This documentary shows that debuting under big company doesn't mean they had it easy, they go through so much and work harder for better results to get where they are now.

It's amazing how Kazuha could keep up with the other girls within short training period. Sakura finally getting a proper training where she could improve her skills. Chaewon could show different side of her than the ones she shows during izone days, Yunjin could finally perform on stage, and Eunchae could also show her potential despite her young age. They have great dynamic together and really living up to their name, FEARLESS.
For Haruka, seeing how the mentors compliment her seems like she had great potential. I hope she could also debut soon.

Other impressing thing is the editing. If i wasn't a fan of the group, i would've thought it's originally 5 membered group. But for those who knows, you could notice there are lots of scenes that oddly zoomed in and the awkwardly edited interviews.

For the question why did they have to edit Garam out, my speculation it's because Garam is no longer in the company. So it's illegal to show her, it would've create backlash and she could sue the company since they're making profit of her without her being in the company.
I understand for those reasons they couldn't show her. But imagine how interesting it would be if they allow the girls to talk about Garam, what kind of relationship they had and how they went through all of the scandal.

Overall i love this documentary, it's just 20 minutes long with 4 episodes. If you're a new fan or you just like Le Sserafim in general. I'd recommend this.

PLEASE read this review before you watch this show so u know what u r about to get yourself into.

(boutta have the rant of my life, so hold on) Incredible show. Truly. But I had absolutely NO idea what I was getting myself into when I started this. I waited till it was done airing to start it, then I finished it in a day. little did I know, that this show would tear my heart out and leave me in SHAMBLES while writing this review. The last thing I thought this was going to be was a rlly heavy show and borderline depressing for me to watch. Ngl, I like the light and fluffy shows. I'm not used to this stuff. it was so SO hard for me to watch this because the entire show was just SO HEAVY and intense. I really cant describe it any other way. But I could NOT put it down.
It truly was a masterpiece though. The aesthetics they used in this show, was stunning. The colors they used were perfection.
I wont lie to you, there were a lot of parts where i felt lost, like i wasn't following along too good, like i thought i accidentally skipped over something, but that's just the way this show is laid out. Everything gets answered in the end.
I absolutely hate shows with a sad ending. They really do give me the most emotions, but I hate it.

About the show:
CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS!!!

Once again, this show was incredibly difficult for my heart to deal with. SO many mixed emotions.
There was a lot of screaming and yelling at each other, which doesn't really bother me, but in this show there was a lot of it, and for very extended amount of times.
There was like ZERO happy moments with In and Wang. i literally can only think of one. Every moment with those two was just super intense. ALOT of staring at each other without breaking eye contact (seriously it was insane). There's A TON of crying, its really hard to get through because every episode is just like so depressing, u hope they get over it all eventually and finally start being a lil happy BUT NOOOO. Doesn't happen. it just gets progressively worse and worse.
I usually cant stand huge age gaps like in this show, but this one was bearable so i wont complain about it.
ALSO, you dont get ONE DAMN KISS from these two. so if you are expecting any of that, dont. cuz it doesn't happen.
You literally only have like three characters in this series, but they pulled it off well.
ALSOOO it’s hard to grasp that all of this happened within just a few days. Like I dont even think it was a week long…
I have a few things to say about In and his character. Honestly I didn't hate or love him. Whenever Wang would say something about how he felt towards In, In would just have this blank look on his face and not say anything, which I understand why. I know that's how his personality is, it just kills me to watch it happen. He does not reciprocate the feelings at all. physically or emotionally. he never ever says anything about how he feels towards Wang , even though Wang knows how he feels, it still hurts that he never tells him, not once.
About the ending... from the VERY first episode, deep deep deep down i knew. i knew it was going to have a heartbreaking ending. i kept watching it though, hoping i was wrong and they would give me what i wanted. the further i got the more i knew it wasn't going to come. but the further i got the more i hoped they would prove me wrong and they would give me the ending i wanted. i watched the very last episode knowing exactly what was going to come my way. I wouldn't accept it. I kept watching after the credits telling myself i would NOT accept it to end like this. But here i am ranting about it.
i will NEVER re-watch this show. Everrrrrr.
(Edit: I rewatched it once. TERRIBLE decision. I warned myself so I shoulda known better :(

OVERALL :
Even though this show is far from my ideal type, it was just so good. They did a really good job which is why i give it a high rating. and i really did adore Wang. he was an incredible character. both men were great actors. i hope to watch Pond in another BL someday. ( a happy ending one next time. plz.)

Thank u for reading! ~ Dani

Kind of boring (as nothing exciting happens)

My friend recommended that I watch this drama. She said that it was a sweet show and I doubt her not.

I started on it but eventually, I decided to drop it. I do not detest this show. I do not detest any of the actors/ actresses. The reason why I decided to throw in the towel for this one was because nothing much was happening at all. Another plausible reason could be that I had just watched "Lost Track of Time" which I liked and enjoyed tremendously and so, I could not appreciate the fairly green acting and unexciting plot. I'd say that "LTOT" was like eating Ma La. It was spicy and yet, strangely addictive. I'd say that "Let's Meet Now" is like plain porridge - kind of comforting and easy to have but really quite bland.

Other notes:
I think that the FL lead is quite cute - she reminds me of Sandy Lam.
I think that the little girl, the second ML's sister, is adorable - she reminds me of young Ariel Lin.
I think that the ML is quite handsome.

However, I'm looking for a more exciting and engaging plot!

Although I can probably sit through this drama and I am pretty sure that it'll be a decent watch, I decided not to waste my time on plain porridge but to seek savoury instead! I like my dramas with more taste and meat! :)

Even when you switched your face I will recognize you !

CAME IN WITH NO EXPECTATION ! sLOVED EVERY BIT!!!
YA'LL THIS IS A HELLA GOOD DRAMA! A 100/10! a must watch! thrilling yet romantic!

The female lead is a painter who helps the people in the brothel to paint their pictures. One day she is told to paint a promiscuous picture of the second female lead aka evil lady and the prince having sex....She gets drugged and wakes up with evil lady's face. Evil lady also is holding her older sister hostage. Evil lady commands the female lead to find an item that belonged to the previous prince who died. Also the evil lady was engaged to the male lead, the general. So now the female lead has the evil lady' s face and becomes the general's wife.

What I like
-The male lead is cute. He plays the cold general well but when he is in love he becomes cute. He is cute when he smiles about the female lead.
-The male lead is smart and eventually figures out the identity of the female lead without her even saying.
-The general remembered that the female lead saved him and remember all the words she said. He didn't question her, just because her face is different.
-The female lead is super nice and sweet ( which contrasted the evil lady very nicely)
-They didn't give too much time to evil lady and prince
-The romance of the general and the female lead. They have some nice and steamy scenes together. They have really good chemistry. At the same the the evil lady and the evil prince have good chemistry too.
-There was also a cute daughter
-There was nothing that was draggy or too annoying of character. All of it was just right.

100% Sweet Romantic Drama

The first thing that struck me about this drama is the lighting. The creators used a very bright, sweet, romantic and luminous filter that makes your eyes hurt to look at. The whole drama is kept in a sweet style, infused with teenage romance. The shame is that the characters are adult, supposedly intelligent lawyers, who nevertheless behave like teenage children. Even the gruesome scene where we have a brutally murdered animal has been turned into a "fainting damsel in distress" romance here. The romantic music, the slowed down pace as she falls into his arms and the FL's infatuated eyes fit this scene like vanilla ice cream on a blood steak - not my taste.

Another issue is FL and Lee Se Young, who plays her. FL is an insult to me as a woman. Her behavior is unbalanced, even childishly hysterical, as if I were seeing a sulky five-year-old who didn't get a lollipop. However, I had no complaint with the actress, although her character was annoying and unconvincing. The crying scenes in episode 9, however, were so artificial in Lee Se Young's performance that I was unable to continue with the drama.

The drama tries to address some important social issues, but any meaningful themes are lost in the over-sweetened aesthetics of this production. This drama is purely a cute teenage romance, with characters on the emotional level of middle-schoolers. Potentially dark and disturbing legal themes are completely stripped of their dignity and aesthetics in this drama.

If one likes a drama heavy on romance, sweetness and established tropes, one will definitely not be disappointed. However, for me, lawyers who are almost forty years old acting as if they have no life experience and live only their love problems and behave like frisky children is a bit too much. Vanilla ice cream on blood steak.

Honestly the story was pretty dragged out, and there was basically no change from episode 1 to episode 11 for ourain couple. They just lied and kept secrets from eachother for basically no reason, while having great sex. That's it, that's the plot.
The a ting was surprisingly decent, and I have a feeling the cast did what they could with a mediocre story. The two leads were a little stupid, and bad communicators in general, but it was believable I guess, and their chemistry was nice.
But one very notable plus for me is during the leads first real sex scene, they quickly confirm they are sober, making sober decisions, and consenting. Then in the next clip on the bed we again reaffirm that at any point our protagonist can withdraw consent if his fiance does something our lead doesn't want. Just consent, and respect for your partner when you are both quite vulnerable. The bare minimum but basically a unicorn in most BLs, so I appreciate that they added that in. Even if they didn't trust eachother and had some really shitty behavior, they at least respected boundaries.
The music was really quite good, and the musician plot really allowed some really lovely sounding music. Of course is it even a Thai BL if hald the cast aren't engineering students? I really didn't care about the second lead couple, but the third couple were kind of cute.
