Putting yourself in other shoes
The drama is very great looking for a body swap drama and i end up watching the whole series with a theme quite unique & suprise. The lesson is that you never know the whole picture unless you are the one facing it in firsthand. That is why i like the drama so much they handled the body swapping theme very well thanks to the portrayal of the artists.Was this review helpful to you?
The Only Chinese BL This Season That Isn’t Working for Me
I’m watching five currently airing Chinese BLs and four of them are easy 10 out of 10s for me.This was the only one that didn’t click. The intro and ending credits felt far too long, a 20 minute episode already has a 2 minute intro and 7 minute ending credits, so half of it isn't actually watchable content. I've never seen a series with ending credits that are this long.
The plot was confusing, and I never really connected with the characters. Chinese BLs usually deliver for me, so this one ended up being a disappointment.
Now that I’ve reached the finale, my opinion hasn’t changed. I kept hoping it would improve, but unfortunately it never did.

Healthiest Romantasy Cdrama I've Watched as a Woman
First review ever and I hope someone in the Chinese entertainment industry reads this.Firstly I have developed a recent addiction to cdramas in an effort to try and learn about my native culture and country (Chinese Australian).
Unfortunately after watching literally almost the entire top 100 list of cdrama romantasy titles, I have come across a very troubling pattern.
Let's start with the anorexia glorifying stick figures of Chinese women which are both historically inaccurate and dangerous for public health in both the local and global Chinese community.
Not to mention this crazy obsession with height disparities in pairing short, anorexic women with massive 1.9m men.
Or that the idolisation of women who look like they have never even touched puberty borders paedophillia.
This definitely has affected the general public in China given the popularity with weight loss and public accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers who are literally clinically anorexic on RedNote.
It's unhealthy, both on a psychological, physical and also broader societal level.
Let's talk about Lost You Forever. Yang Zi is beautiful, healthy, buxom and yes she is still slim in this drama!! She is what a healthy Chinese woman SHOULD LOOK LIKE. Her figure in this drama should be idolised as opposed to Jiu Jingyi who has had so much plastic surgery you can barely see any facial expressions, or Song Zuer who is now definitely in the anorexia nervosa diagnostic range. She has muscle, she probably has a healthy period every month because to be a fertile woman you have to actually have a minimum percentage of body fat.
It has been incredibly refreshing to see.
The plot is so different, fresh and interesting. Nothing in Romantasy is realistic, and neither is several rich handsome men pining over one originally man now lady.
I love that she is conflicted but also takes her time choosing and sampling the wares.
Out of all of them this is the first one that actually has a reverse harem, and boy is it done well!
The series overall was incredibly fun to watch amongst all the pining and yearning.
Unfortunately the music score really can't beat some of the others however the acting in this drama has been top notch among everyone.
Yang Zi is the best actress I've seen out of all the female actresses so far. The fact that she has remained true to her own face and body puts her at a much higher tier than anyone else.

First off, I have to say that both Lu Feng’s and Xiao Chen’s families— and their siblings— are just despicable. I honestly don't know which family is worse. Lu Feng and Xiao Chen are the products of two toxic, dysfunctional households that use their kids as mere puppets to get what they want. While the homophobia in Lu Feng's family is blatant, Xiao Chen's family uses love and filial piety to blackmail him and make him feel guilty.
Lu Feng is my favorite character. He’s complex and layered; he drove me crazy countless times, but he never once doubted his love for Xiao Chen. He took all his family's hatred and even got disowned just to stand up for their relationship. Xiao Chen, on the other hand, just couldn't break free from his family's emotional blackmail. There were so many times I wondered if he actually loved Lu Feng, and honestly, I wanted to shake him out of his apathy and make him stand up to his family.
Even though the show's take on Lu Feng’s bipolar disorder might be a bit questionable, I’m glad the character actually went through medical treatment. In most shows, characters with severe trauma miraculously heal the second they find the love of their life. Even if it was just on the surface, the series showed his resistance and how hard it was for him to stick to the treatment, which I think added a bit of realism to the story. That said, I think it would have been more interesting if both Lu Feng and Xiao Chen had gone to therapy. Xiao Chen went through plenty of trauma too, and in a way, he’s also responsible for how Lu Feng acts. Couples therapy would have really helped them find some balance in a relationship that’s still pretty emotionally unstable.
The whole cast did a great job, especially Ayden Sng and Lu Si Tong. It’s definitely worth a watch.

Beautiful and realistic
A beautiful realistic drama that shows that not every relationship has a happy ever after. Sometimes people just don't match as they thought they did.The first episode had me thinking "oh no! What is this, i am not gonna like this!" But how wrong was i, this turned out to be a great drama.
The visuals were good, i only remember hearing a theme song and that was ok.
The acting was very good!

The "Breadcrumb" Male Lead
Doctor on the Edge ended without much impact.The plot barely moves forward, the conflicts become repetitive, and the romance never develops the emotional spark needed to keep me invested.
The secondary couple was far more engaging than the main one, and the love triangle felt completely unnecessary.
Once again, the male characters are written as "breadcrumb" lovers—men who keep chasing someone even after being rejected, always hoping for another chance instead of simply moving on with their lives.
Frustrating, bland, boring, and ultimately forgettable.

Frustrating Watch!!!
Just because the first episode has some banter doesn't make a drama a comedy. Similarly, one kiss and "we're dating" don't make it a romance. This drama failed miserably in every genre it was tagged with. Even the medical aspect was laughable. Performing a tracheostomy in the middle of a tsunami wasn't impressive. It was so unrealistic that I genuinely laughed. And don't even get me started on the female lead. She was unbelievably annoying. Whenever it suited her, she relied on Cheon, and whenever it suited her again, she leaned on the male lead. Then, to emphasize how lonely and helpless she supposedly was, she delivered lines like, "I want to be strong, so if you ever see me struggling, pretend you don't know me." She gave me the exact same vibes as the female lead from Our Universe. I honestly didn't find this drama entertaining, healing, or romantic in the slightest despite whatever genre tags it carries. This review isn't for everyone, but those who get it, will get it.Was this review helpful to you?
it's totally worth it to watch
this series is fabulous, good acting. I really enjoyed it. it have good romantic scenes. "Slow burn, deep emotions, and unforgettable chemistry."From the very first episode, this series kept me emotionally invested. The romance was sweet, mature, and beautifully developed, while the chemistry between the leads felt incredibly natural. The emotional scenes were powerful without being overdone, and every character added something special to the story. I really enjoyed this series feel connection .Was this review helpful to you?
Luo Qiu Yun did an excellent job.
Watching this unintentionally. The system of streaming service just suggested it for me to watch. I don't see anything significant in this show, beside the role of Luo Qiu Yun. Although her character was the unrealistic version of female lead, she did an excellent job. Every time she was on scene, she made the scene interesting. For all other main performers, there is nothing exciting. I do not want to blame all them as the untalented or any negative, because they performed according to the writers, screenplay writer, producer, or director.Was this review helpful to you?
The kind of strong female character we rarely see in Thai drama
In many Thai dramas, female characters often fall into conventional roles such as the gentle heroine or the supportive figure. However, "The Evil Lawyer" breaks this mold by centering on a protagonist who is assertive and unafraid to wield power in a male-dominated environment. This drama challenges traditional stereotypes by presenting a woman who exudes strength, intelligence, and unapologetic self-assurance.First of all, this series as a whole is pretty amazing. It’s an unpredictable legal thriller that explores moral complexities and doesn’t shy away from illustrating Thailand’s political landscape, while also addressing systemic corruption. The way each case is seamlessly woven into a larger storyline with a great pace really makes the series captivating. However, what really stands out for me is the portrayal of the female lead. I want to shine a light on Jittri, who brings a refreshing take on strong female characters in Thai dramas.
While Jittri's approaches and morale are more on the grey side, she's a woman with a bold attitude that can really get under your skin, yet somehow, you'll end up admiring her. Her confidence is not just a personality trait but a defining element of the story, influencing both her personal and professional interactions. It gives viewers a new take on female empowerment, featuring a woman who tackles obstacles with cleverness and grit. It mirrors changing societal views on gender roles in Thailand, emphasizing the need for more varied and authentic female characters in the media. Plus, Ying Rhatha Phongam's performance is nothing short of amazing. This series marks her return to a leading role since 2022, and she truly came back with a bang. She transformed a character that could have been unlikable into a stylish, and captivating anti-heroine worthy of admiration.
Overall, this drama is more than just a story; it is a cultural marker that signals change and the growing recognition of complex female characters in Thai television. It's something worth watching not only for the story, but for the performance and the underlying issues.

Best BL I've watched!
GOODNESS MEEEE!!! THIS IS A BOMBLASTIC DRAMA! FIRE!Me and Thee (or Get a grip, Khun Thee) is a REALLY good drama, I must say. I never knew I liked overdramatic people THIS much 😭 Nor did I expect myself to love over the top gestures of love 😭 But now that I know, I don't think we're settling for anything far less from this 😭
Every scene is more hilarious than the other. You never get bored! It's not all comedy though. The perfect balance of exaggeration and seriousness. A crazy drama with very grounded undertone. Beautiful!
This drama is LITERALLY PondPhuwin in their element. Pond just feels like Khun Thee himself and Phuwin? HE IS PEACH, no doubt, no argument, PERIOD. Every single moment, whether it's the meeting or falling in love or being together, they just feel like they were meant to be together. Match made in heaven, exactly what the missing piece in each other's life was. Yes, Theerakit Kian Lee is crazy, but it's in the best wayyy! T_T LOVED HIM! Pond did such a great job to portray this role, his acting skills are amazing! And Peach...he is this calm in the storm, the peace and reasoning WE need in this drama, not just Thee. Phuwin has this natural steadiness to himself, that's why I said, Peach would be the closet to his true self, at least from an onlookers perspective.
The side characters are INSANE. EST SUPHA! The man you are! He is literally the most accurate feedback page for every scene you can access. Because his expressions and reactions, ALL SO CORRECT 😭😭😭 He is the perfect comedian - straight faced that'll make u laugh till your stomach hurts with just his reactions. Loved his role. His acting is spectacular. And as a fan of WilliamEst, I freaking loved the cameo of William as Rome.
P'Godja is another big part to the funny scenes. She is such a versatile actress, great talent. Bonnie! I love her so muchhhh!! I cannot wait to watch another drama of hers. Plub is the best sister I have seen in a while. And the one of the most genuine humans. Especially that scene of Peach and Plub's conversation, that is the most healing and comforting scene I've watched in years! That was such an authentic and soft scene, it touched my heart. I couldn't stop nodding and agreeing with every word she said. Both Phuwin and Bonnie did a fantastic job there and it's going to be a scene that stays with me forever!
MUSIC! Sound and music in this drama are casts of their own. Without it, this drama literally loses quarter of its total score. Honestly, those dramatic scenes got that extra punch with the sound. And I cannot tell you how much I liked it!! Thank you to the director and everyone on the sound team. The musical scene in between reminded me of Indian movies 😂 That was SO iconic. Then again, what about Khun Thee is not iconic 😌😏
At first glance, this drama seems like a cringe sitcom. But when you're done watching, you are left confused about how, despite every episode making you laugh, every scene being either a logical impossibility or you face palming or having second hand embarrassment, it feels like a warm hug that heals your heart. This drama is a bandage to the wounds you never knew existed. A cozy drama you can turn to whenever life gets too hard. Comfort drama list approved!

The songs saved the show
Ok this drama isn't worth it. Music wise? Good. But story or acting, not a fan. It was lowkey boring and I had to sit through it. No offense to the leads, but I seriously didn't like their acting in this drama. The casting as a whole wasn't a good pick. Skipped a lot of it. The only reason I sat through it was because I don't like leaving dramas unfinished. I think the ending was good. And like I said, the entire idol and music part of the boy band was the only entertaining part. Ya, watch it only if you have nothing else to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
predictable but never boring
This drama was such a fun ride. Going into it I didn't really know what to expect, but it completely pulled me in. It actually gave me Stranger Things vibes at times not because the stories are the same, but because of the group dynamic, the mix of supernatural elements, comedy and mysteryThe comedy was honestly one of the strongest parts of the drama. It never felt forced, and it balanced the more emotional and action-packed moments really well.
Story-wise, I really enjoyed it. While I did find the plot a little predictable at times, it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. The storyline itself was interesting enough to keep me invested and I was always excited to see what would happen next.
My biggest issue was the romance. I just don't think it was needed. Everything else about the drama was strong enough to stand on its own, so the romance between the main characters felt a bit out of place for me
Overall, I had a great time watching this. It's funny, entertaining and has a really lovable cast. Despite a few predictable moments and my issues with the romance, I'd still definitely recommend it if you're looking for something short that is fun and easy to watch.
