The Lighter and the Princess' Gown

It isn't love if it's easy. A MUST WATCH.
Lighter and Princess depicts a love story filled with all sorts of twists, I had never experienced such an attachment to a show but I can say for certain, Lighter and Princess is unique and beautiful, I don't believe I can ever find a show similar to this one.There are many factors I admire about the show, but one thing that stuck out to me is, the story goes a lot deeper than I assumed it would, the hardships were never sugarcoated and I cannot count the amount of times I sat at the edge of my bed stressed because I was so attached to all the characters.
No one is perfect in this world, we all have our faults, we all have our struggles. That does not mean we cannot change or grow, The main characters have developed so much throughout the show, and you cannot help but feel infinitely proud of all of them. My review may be short, but for anyone whoever considers/thinks to watch this show should definitely go for it, enjoy the ride it is rewarding.

A drama that stirred so much emotions - IT HAD MY HEART
I can't even begin to describe how I feel about this drama but all I can say it was a rollercoaster in the best way possible and it had my heart the whole time. Not me was able to create an enticing plot with deep character storylines and the perfect chemistry. It tackles politics, it tackles ableism, it tackles injustice of any kind in an interesting way that you can't help but watch unfold in-front of your eyes.This show may have it's faults, since my review is spoiler free I will refrain from pointing them out and if you're looking for a perfect story then this is not it. So why rate it a 9? Because there's not many shows that can leave me feeling the way I feel now. Through the characters I saw family, i saw love- the characters are far from perfect but that doesn't stand in their way of caring for each-other despite each-others faults, that's what I view as true love- whether platonic or romantic the admiration, the passion, the raw emotions had destroyed me and fixed me in so many ways.
I don't think there will ever be a show that can pull off what 'Not Me' had, and I won't lie i began this show with little expectations only to find a sense of family within the characters and to see a heartening show that stirred so much emotion in me and I could not put it down, I may have watched it in the span of 3 days consistently but during the time I was occupied by my life, my mind returned to thinking about the whole dramas framework and plot. I will forever admire what this show was able to evoke, and I feel like it is a drama I will remember.

MUST WATCH !! A true youthful masterpiece depicting the concept of life in a beautiful way
Wow. Just wow. This show was indeed an experience in many ways, I had given this drama a try when it first aired, however, I gave up midway through the first episode only because I didn't think it'd interest me. One day, I was reminded of this drama when I saw the OST in stores. I thought to give it another shot and I truly fell in love with every detail of this show, every character was explored thoroughly and the romance was genuinely perfect. This might just be one of the best youthful romance dramas I've seen this year everything from the plot to the characters was flawless, I am gonna miss this drama dearly, I love how they gave insight into each character's life allowing us to understand hardships that they've faced as well as showing the concept of mistakes that have been made in the past and how the characters grew from them. It was a perfect depiction of a drama driven by its characters and that's what I love. I cannot even think of a single thing I've hated, I'm not a person who writes many reviews however due to how much I loved this I had to give it a review. I think this drama will always remain one of my favorites and I wish for many people do give this drama the recognition and love it deserves.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Refreshing experience - MUST WATCH
I started this on a whim when it was airing and never had I expected to love this show as much as I did. I've just finished this show and went straight to writing a review in hopes that people would give this a chance now for my opinion it truly was one of the most comforting and unforgettable experiences. I've seen many shows with a similar concept of someone from Seoul moving to a small town, Hometown Cha Cha Cha being one of them although I must say this show was my favorite take on that. As someone who adores animals and is always on the lookout for shows that feature animals, this one had it all animals, romance, wholesome scenes, and a tiny bit of drama but overall it was refreshing. I know that I'm probably going to rewatch it a million times now because of how cute and short it was, the chemistry between the characters and music, and plot all worked perfectly to make the most refreshing and comforting experience I've had with a show in a while, to anyone reading this review I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this and really wish the rating for this show was higher. This drama deserved a better rating and deserved more people to give it a try, so if you're skeptical about whether to start this TRUST ME AND START IT, you will love it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
DO NOT GO INTO THIS DRAMA WITH EXPECTATIONS
I have a lot to say so let's get into this.This drama alone is a breath of fresh air, It's a nice refreshing show to get your head out of intense thriller dramas. HOWEVER the reason I feel a bit disappointed with this drama is because of the expectations I had on it, after hearing everybody talk about how this drama is perfect I set expectations that ended up allowing me to come out of this drama disappointed. THIS DRAMA IS NOT EVERYONE's CUP OF TEA, as much as people promote it that way it really isn't, some parts can be slow in this drama, and often times I found myself considering dropping it. I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T BECAUSE I ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH. I believe the reason this drama has so much hype surrounding it is that I feel like this drama is perfect to watch while it was airing, it in fact isn't a drama to really binge it's a drama that you should watch episode or two a day just to really enjoy.
I honestly was going to score this drama at a 7 but the ending really picked it up for me. To those who are checking the reviews wondering if the drama gets better, YES it does especially towards the end and it is WORTH IT.
Do I recommend this drama? ABSOLUTELY. For anyone who wants something refreshing to watch without any major intense twists, this is perfect.
I LOVED THE ML LEAD AN FL SO MUCH and the rest of the characters now have a special place in my heart. I'm going to miss this drama :')

What the show lost in plot, the characters and cast made up for AND THATS OKAY.
To begin this review I would like to say that although this show is FAR from perfect and it has it's faults that I will delve into further as this review continues, I want to appreciate how much I feel like the cast and characters storyline CARRIED this and was able to build an exciting experience.In my opinion, I felt like the plot was messy- it was a simple plot and yet there was too many plot holes and things i feel like could have been WAYY better and built up to perfection but it wasn't long for me to recognize that although the show had a messy plot, the characters and the cast were AMAZING. Every character had their own storylines and in a sense I never felt like a single character was forgotten or dismissed. This drama's strength IS ITS CAST and its characters, the acting was amazing- the raw emotions displayed by every single character had my heart.
I felt as though there was so much loss potential that could've been utilized in this show to build SUCH A PERFECT PREMISE and that was why I was left feeling slightly disappointed but I truly enjoyed the episodes that were character driven and it somewhat made me forget the faulty premise and I think that is the reason I was able to give this show an 8/10. Would I recommend this show to others? Depends. If you're in it for a flawless premise- then no, but if you're willing to ignore it's faults and to appreciate the characters then you WILL have a blast.

Beautifully written plot paired with unique cinematography forms an inspiring youthful masterpiece.
This drama depicted mental health struggles, trauma, and the idea surrounding one's identity in a social atmosphere in the most immersive and thoughtful way possible.The cinematography alone left me amazed, the indirect use of cinematography allows for the viewers to be immersed in the show, and the use of lighting and saturation as well as the contrast between different colors in different scenes allow to set the mood/tone of the scene allowing viewers to understand what emotion is being displayed without needing to directly display it. The soundtrack and the use of music alone were enough to provide a glimpse into each character's life. Each character within the show develops through the experiences they have gone through and the idea of character development through experiences was created flawlessly. This show felt casual despite the fact it touched upon countless important/serious topics and in the end it wraps itself up perfectly. The development of romance throughout paired with the plot left me attached to the show in a very empathetic light.
I love the way it touches upon the topic that everyone is going through something in their own way, but the way we see the characters develop from their trauma and work through it all together allowed me to realize the world is not as isolating as I always thought it was. Just because something within life happened it does not have to limit me from growing as a person. I believe mental health being depicted in shows is very important but many times I am afraid that it will be depicted incorrectly or stereotypically and would be glamorized/romanticized rather than showing the harsh reality of it BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS SHOW. The way mental health/mental struggles was depicted was perfect, it showed the raw reality of the isolating and lonely experience mental health struggles can leave individuals in but it also shows that struggling is not the end, and that it is always possible to overcome situations despite the fact it may difficult but- still possible. I applaud this show for being able to depict all this as well as produce a short cinematographical masterpiece.

F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers

I need compensation for the number of tears I shed. WOW this show was good.
Before I begin this review, I have not seen any boys over flowers adaptations at all. I've only heard of them and will not be comparing the 'boys over flowers' shows, but F4 Thailand caught my attention because of all the positive feedback the show was getting when it was airing. However, back then I just decided to put it on my plan to watch and just hope to see it someday. I did not expect the attachment and emotions I would feel. Even writing this review, I feel so empty now that it's over. I graduated from school this year, and am hoping to attend university soon and I feel as though I watched this show at the perfect time possible.Now to break the show down. I do want to begin by saying that this show is not NEAR perfect neither are the characters. But one thing that I admire the most in any show, is character development. Character development alone was done perfectly, watching this show and living through each character, seeing their issues, their actions, their behaviors, and their personality adapt and change throughout was perfect. The OST was beautiful, you have no idea how many times I would play the OST while watching this and I know that even after this show I will probably end up playing the OST repeatedly. I hardly ever skipped the intro and honestly, the OST alone contributed to the amount of tears I shed throughout.
This whole drama is GENUINELY a rollercoaster, some moments have you laughing others have you sobbing your eyes out and- others have you just screaming into your pillow out of frustration. But nonetheless, the cast was perfect, the attachment I felt throughout was genuine, and I don't believe I'll ever forget this show. Sure, it has its cliche moments and classic tropes, but I feel like that was this show's charm. Thank you, F4 Thailand for putting a wide smile on my face throughout.

What a blast
Just completed this show and KNEW i had to write a review about how fun and exciting it was, before anyone questions the high rating I'm giving this drama, I genuinely CANNOT think of anything bad about this show.The cast was BRILLIANT, i fell in love with many of the characters at the mart and it was just so fun seeing their interactions and development through the plot, the OST is ingrained in my head by the amount of times I heard it but I am not complaining, the ending just brought a massive smile to my face and i enjoyed the pacing so much. I really recommend for everyone to watch it because TRUST ME you'll love it.

Untitled New PD Kim Seong Yoon Show

What a refreshing and healing show
As someone who's seen both "Itaewon Class" and "The sound of magic" this show was a blast, although I unfortunately hadn't had the chance to see "Love in the moonlight" it still allowed me to fall in love with the cast the same way. Each episode was a refreshing adventure and something about seeing many of my favorite actors in the same place doing fun things all together was so healing to watch.I may not have a lot to say in this review however, I truly recommend this variety show to anyone who has seen any of the Korean dramas that cast is in, I would also recommend seeing all "Itaewon Class", "The sound of Magic" and "Love In Moonlight" before seeing this but it is also enjoyable if you don't! Personally I feel like since Itaewon class is one of my favorite dramas seeing how they integrated the plot of DanBam and the characters into this fun show it was so exciting and definitely allowed me to enjoy it more.

A story of a youthful journey that was truly perfect
Wow. I'm writing this review just moments after finishing this series and I am still in shock about how much of an emotional rollercoaster this drama was. I started this drama when it was airing but had stopped and set to catch up later which is what I've done as of the date I'm writing this and honestly, starting this drama and watching this whole drama is an unforgettable experience that I know i will remember, It was truly a breath of fresh air and it had it all, there were scenes where I was laughing so hard and other scenes where I was sobbing so hard I can barely read the subtitles due to the tears in my eyes, It was so perfect from start to finish with a lovable cast. I was able to form a connection with every character and truly fell in love, the cinematography was absolutely perfect and honestly as many people on here would like to debate, the ending was perfect in my opinion. It was a slice of life show that was able to give me a different perspective on sports and honestly I've seen a lot fo sports-based shows but this show showed sports in a whole different perspective, coming from someone who doesn't have a drop of being 'sporty' and has always had a dislike towards sports, I was able to enjoy and love this. I can often grow hesitant with sports-based shows due to the fact I can't fully relate and feel as though it is outside my interest and that there's a possibility I wouldn't be able to relate however, I was able to relate with each characters which is why I was able to form connections, It was a slice of life show that was able to be a true youthful adventure that I felt like I was apart of, even though I'm a viewer of this fictional story that is unfolding I was so engaged that I felt apart of it and that's how I know this show was perfect. Honestly, it has probably become one of my top dramas I've seen this year, if anyone is reading this review debating whether to watch this or not, give it a try. It's truly an unforgettable experience.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A captivating story with a strong premise that did not fully deliver
Right let's get into this, The devil judge was one of those shows that personally engaged me at the start and then fell off as the series progressed then re-picked itself up at the end. I had to watch the first episode twice because the first time around I had some trouble wrapping my head around what exactly was going on. Although the second time I gave this drama chance I immediately fell in love with the premise, the cinematography was breathtaking, the plot was immersive and overall it seemed like a brilliant dystopian take on justice. I binged the first 8 episodes and was obsessed with the direction of the plot as it seemed so unique and interesting to me. However, the next 8 episodes were harder to get through, I can't fully pinpoint what it was that made it harder to get through but I do feel as though the pacing played a role. I LOVE fast-paced shows and that's why I was so engaged within the first half, In the second half, the pacing felt all over the place that it felt so slow and unorganized which made me struggle to wrap my head around what exactly going on. The last 2 episodes were an attempt to save this series which I do feel episode 15 was able to do, but episode 16 felt slightly rushed. Pacing aside, there were so many things that I was IN LOVE with within this series. FIRSTLY The cinematography CARRIED THE SHOW as well as the actors. they were all PHENOMENAL, I understand that some people didn't like some of the characters, especially the male lead but I truly didn't find any problem with him, in fact, I loved him. The show had so much potential in it could've delivered perfectly bit lacked within the middle and that became its biggest flaw. HOWEVER, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SHOW. It talks about the real 'devils' in society in a creative and aesthetically pleasing way and will leave you with a brilliant ending. It is worth it to watch and I would recommend others to give it a try.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The most unsettling drama i've ever watched
Wow. I just finished this drama and needed a few minutes to process everything. I actually dropped this drama for months when I was at the 4th episode cause I felt like things were too slow for me. I picked it up today and decided to binge the rest of the episodes cause I had nothing better to do. I believe it was starting to really pick itself towards the end of the drama and by the 8-10 episode I was completely absorbed into this. This was one of the most unsettling dramas I've ever seen. The acting was phenomenal and the eery atmosphere of this drama had made me sit at the edge of my seat. This drama really did get better the more you watch it. The only reason I gave it an 8.5 was the fact it was a bit too slow for me, in the beginning, I was struggling to get through the episode and I was growing impatient waiting for it to pick up. BUT IT DID PICK ITSELF UP.If you're questioning whether you want to give this drama a chance or not. I would just advise you to be mindful, this show is heavy in gore and can be a lot to watch, please make sure to be aware of the warnings before proceeding. To those who find this drama slow or boring at the start, I assure you this drama does indeed pick itself up and get so much better. If you ever get uncomfortable or feel like a scene is too much, stop the drama, The scenes are unsettling and heavy to watch and they don't get better or less grotesque, BUT STILL to those who LOVE psychological thriller and horror, I RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA. It is BRILLIANT.
