OMG! I’m crying my eyes out!

Why am I doing this to myself? A drama about people dying, so fifteen minutes into the first episode of this drama, and I’m already sobbing. This grabbed me within the first five minutes. With most dramas, I have to watch at least three episodes to get interested, but not with this one. It is a very touching, emotional, extremely well acted drama, and I hope it continues being this good.I can tell from now, I will be binge watching this one. I will now commence binging the rest of this, and update my review when I’m done. Hopefully this rating will stay a ten. So... let the binging begin...!

On episode six, and it is still a 10!

Just finished this, and I am sitting here crying. Every single episode was good, well acted, well written, emotional, everything... it had it all. I will watch it again, I’m sure several times. Judging by how it ended, I believe there will (hopefully), be a second season. There could be so much more to tell. This drama especially hits you hard if you’ve experienced the death of a loved one. Those emotions hit so close to home when you watch each episode, how the person died, how the family reacts, and the experience of discovering the deceased life, through cleaning out their belongings. One episode was particularly heart wrenching about a young man that searched for his mother his whole life. All I can say is, this is a must watch drama, that will affect you for a while after your are done.

Watched part 1, gave it a 6.5, just watched part 2 gave it an 8. WOW, part 2 had a much better story line and better acting,. If you watched part 1 and didn’t like it, don’t stop, watch part 2. Ties up all loose ends from the first one. I won’t give the ending away, but if it had ended different, I think they would have ended up together. They both truly loved each other. But again, society and parent involvement split them apart. I get so irritated when parents in dramas and real life, have the opinion that things in life should be a certain way and force it on their children. It shouldn’t matter who children decide to love, marry or not marry, have kids or not. If everyone would have just left them alone and just let them love each other, everything would have turned out so different.

A Disappointment

This was so boring for me, and it’s a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing Kim Woo-bin make his comeback. I feel like with the high rating, maybe I’m wrong?? All I took away from this was people yelling, fighting, everyone being disappointed about one thing or another, when that wasn’t happening, they were eating. Not really any kind of love story with any physical affection. What was it? Well, it was very boring, with very little happening other than, like I said, yelling, fighting, disappointment, and eating. I would never sit through this again. As it was, I had it on fast forward from the 3rd episode, hoping it would get better. I should have just dropped it.

An Enjoyable Watch

Things that I love about this, is the simple plot, and the humor. It doesn’t feel like a chore to watch. I didn’t fast forwarded once, and that is saying something for me. Not a lot of thinking involved in watching this, it just feels kind of relaxing to watch. A perfect blend of humor, and serious subject matter. It is a simple love story with great acting, with a main love story, and a couple of side love stories thrown in. It started out as a 10 for me, but the last two episodes were kind of, I wouldn’t call it disappointing, but just frustrating. There was one long Dominos add, they fit into the story, that was very obvious. Also, they finally showed what Hong Du-Shik’s secret was. I won’t give it away, but let’s just say it was nothing for him to feel guilty about, nothing was specifically his fault. The ending wrapped everything up nicely too. I finally found out who won the lottery! Nothing left to guess about. This is a definite watch!

Keeps your interest

WOW, this was so good, I didn’t fast forward once, and I was glued to every scene. If you don’t like violence, revenge, bullies, kids fighting to be excepted for who they are, but are outcasts because of their family situation, fighting, (a lot of fighting), not the kind of ending you would have wanted, you shouldn’t watch this drama. Some good things… friendship, acceptance, revenge, bromance, and that’s about it. The acting, fight scenes, directing, and writing were all beyond great. It’s NOT the kind of drama that will put you in a good mood, especially the end. BUT I highly recommend it! I will say I cried through most of the last episode. Didn’t leave me with a good feeling, but I am really glad I watched it. I will definitely watch season 2, and I’m sure there will be one.

VERY LONG, but worth every minute

I have a very short attention span, so I put off watching this for a long time. I figured I would watch a few episodes and decide if I was going to actually be able to get through all 51 episodes. Well, it was a first for me, and I loved each and every minute of it. I binged watched it over the course of 4 days because it kept me on the edge of my seat. It had everything you would ever want in a drama, and I mean everything. I can not think of any emotion that wasn’t included the plot. The ending was what I was kind of expecting, so I had tissues on hand. I know it’s long, but it’s worth it. Take it from someone who even has a hard time getting through the normal 16 to 20 episode drama. I won’t watch it again though due to its length, but I absolutely loved it.

WTF!!

Like I said in the headline, WTF did I just watch?? I will say this is different than any other movie I’ve seen, but that’s not a good thing. No dialogue, yep you read that right, nothing. The acting was good. I guess rather than dialogue, you are supposed to just watch the emotions in their faces? There is gang rape, incest, castration, murder, suicide, sex, nudity, love, hate…. Just all very weird right up to the ending. Watch it if you are curious and don’t mind everything I’ve mentioned. But, I just can’t figure out why it was even written, directed and filmed. At least they didn’t need to hire a script writer.

Short And Sweet!!❤️❤️

This was just what I was in the mood for. I was able to watch it in one day, and didn’t fast forward through one minute of it. It’s a friends to lovers drama with laughter, and the main focus of the story was both leads. I’m so glad I watched this feel good Drama. And guess what…it had a great ending! An ending that I wanted, not a breakup, not each of them ending up with someone else, or an end that just kind of left you hanging. It was complete from beginning to end. . If you are looking for something short, not complicated, no major side actors and their stories, a feel good ending, I would highly recommend this!

This was a real snooze fest for me. With the high rating, I was excited to watch this drama. After I watched the first few episodes, I thought with the high rating, it must get better as it progresses. Boy, was I wrong! I didn’t have the patience to just sit and watch, so I finished it while on my exercise machine. I found myself falling asleep, so to stay awake, I had to exercise. It took me over a month to watch it. I just should have dropped it. But by the time I realized that it wasn’t going to get better, I was too far into it. Kind of like Hospital Playlist was for me. High ratings, but boring to me. With Romance Is A Bonus Book, I felt no chemistry between the Leads at all. The age gap was too big for me. She looked way older than him, and it just didn’t work. Decent acting, but it didn’t help this. Basically, just about a woman falling on hard times, and her determination to succeed. This was with the help of and old friend who always had feeling for her but never expressed them. The end was OK, but I feel like I wasted a lot of my time completing this, but I wanted to give it a chance. I should just learn to drop dramas, but it’s hard when I have time invested in it.

In my opinion, this Drama is underrated. I thought the plot and acting were excellent. Maybe it’s not everyone’s cup of tea though, which might explain why it’s not rated higher. It is a love story, but a forbidden love story. It shows the heartbreaking tragedy that Hong Rim goes through when he falls in love with the Queen. How he had to betray his lover, the King, as he felt himself having deep feelings that grew into obsessive love over with Queen. A pretty big shocking scene when the King found out that his lover was sneaking around behind his back with his Queen. Needless to say, I didn’t expect THAT to happen. Without giving away too much, I highly recommend this Drama, but not to someone that doesn’t like nudity or sex scenes, because it has a lot of that.

One of THE BEST dramas I have ever had the pleasure of watching, and I’ve watched many. The acting is outstanding, as is the plot. Of course Lee Joon Gi is pure eye candy and a versatile, excellent actor. It is basically about a present day, unhappy women, traveling back in time during an eclipse, to the Goryeo Dynasty in the year 941. She falls for one prince, but ultimately falls harder for the prince that is an outcast. She helps him rise to the top of the Dynasty, but loses him in the process. I don't want to give away any more and spoil it for future watchers. All I can say is I was riveted to each and every second, of each and every episode, and was sad when I finished it. I cried many times, and laughed many times, quite the roller coaster of emotions. I wish that a second season would be aired, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. If you watch it, you’ll understand why it needs to be continued in present day.

Very short BL Drama

This Drama is only 6 episodes roughly under 15 minutes each. It really doesn’t have much of a plot other than 2 guys being attracted to each other. One checks into a Resort alone because the partner he was supposed to go with fell in love with someone else. The desk clerk who checks him in is attracted to him. They end up together in his Resort room. The drama doesn’t show it, but they obviously had sex, but I mean it didn’t show anything, not even kissing. Because it’s short, I found it worth the watch, but I wouldn't watch it again. If it was longer, I would have dropped it.

This BL drama just didn’t do it for me. I thought the story itself could have been great, but the way it was executed, it wasn’t. It seemed kind of choppy and all over the place. The acting was fair, and yes the 2 main leads are awesome looking, but that didn’t help the story. A good plot but poorly written. They fell in love when they were young, and were torn apart because of society and family. Met later in life, and the love was re-ignited. Ending was left hanging, now I’m on to part 2. Hopefully it will tie up loose ends left by part 1. I’ll review that after I watch it. Im hopeful...

I enjoyed the BL drama, but I’ve seen better. There were a few parts that kind of dragged on. The 2 male leads were a good match, with good acting. Especially Ian Pangilinan who played Vladimir. He was a natural with great facial expressions, and great line delivery. It’s a drama about two guys meeting, one accepts that he is gay, the other doesn’t. One came out, the other one isn’t ready to even admit he is gay. The last 3 or4 episodes were the best, but that’s usually the way. With 8 episodes, only a half hour each, it’s definitely worth watching. The ratings in the reviews are pretty much all high, with a lot of them being 10. I was torn between a 7.5 or an 8, but settled on the 7.5. I guess I’m comparing it to other BL dramas I’ve seen.

Not bad, but not good either…

I don’t know why this was advertised as a BL, it’s more like a bromance. The ending seemed rushed, these two had no physical contact at all, and parts were confusing. Any kind of love story, straight or gay, has SOME physical contact. The acting was good, everything else could have been better. This had so much potential because the actual plot/story/idea was good, but not carried out good. Was it the writing, producing, directing, or all of the above, but it was just OK. I really don’t understand some of the good reviews. The only thing I can think of is maybe they have nothing else to compare it to?? To me, if you watch a lot of BL’S, this is very mediocre.
