Enchanting Chemistry and Hilarious Plot!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series; it's incredibly entertaining and hilarious. I initially tuned in because I'm a fan of the main leads, having watched their previous collaborations and appreciating the excellent chemistry between them. The storyline is engaging, and even though it follows the familiar trope of a playboy falling in love with a country girl, it still manages to captivate from the first episode to the end. Besides Kem, Michael is one of the leading men I particularly enjoy seeing alongside MookdaVond je deze recentie nuttig?

A Critique of Chemistry, Logic, and Actions in the Series 'Happiness'
This is a zombie-ish series featuring two mature leads. The female lead is an anti-terrorist specialist, and the male lead is a police officer. They undeniably make the best partners when it comes to a zombie-themed storyline. In this narrative, there exists a drug capable of turning people into zombies. The unique twist is that these individuals revert to their normal selves after a certain period. This concept evokes a reminiscent vibe of "All of Us Are Dead," but instead of devouring people, they consume blood like vampires.Our two leads embark on an investigation within a locked-down apartment, confronting a multitude of annoying characters. One aspect I adore about this series is the undeniable chemistry between the leads and their badass actions. Despite their competence, they are not without flaws. I criticize their actions due to their adult nature and the demands of their work. However, one aspect I find irksome, possibly owing to the writer's oversight, is the recurring tendency not to run upon encountering blood. Additionally, there's a scene where the female lead inexplicably opens a truck full of zombies, a move that seems illogical.
Nevertheless, what stands out is the intelligence of the characters, especially the male lead, who is both capable and smart. While the female lead has her flaws, her badassery shines through.

A Fantastic KDrama!
It has truly become one of my all-time favorite KDramas to date. Lee Dong Wook's portrayal as a gumiho is incredibly fitting, and I must say, L's performance is equally commendable. The on-screen chemistry between the leads adds an extra layer of magic to the series. Each episode unfolds with a delightful narrative, even though I found myself predicting some of the plot twists. Despite that, the overall experience has been thoroughly enjoyable, thanks to Dong Wook's captivating performance.I recently caught wind of the exciting news about a second season, and my anticipation is through the roof. I sincerely hope that the upcoming season lives up to the high standards set by the first one.

Compelling Drama with Exceptional Acting
The story in this drama is super interesting—I watched a bunch of episodes and got totally into the plot. However, when it was getting towards the end, I took a break because I had to wait a long time between each episode. Recently, I decided to get back into it after seeing some cool scenes on TikTok that reignited my interest. I've got to say, the acting is not just good, it's seriously impressive. Zhou Ye, even though she's young, is an awesome actress, and her performance is top-notch. It's like, she really brings the characters to life. So, if you're looking for something worth your time, this drama is totally worth checking out!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Zhao Liying's Badass Return
Anticipation peaked as I awaited this series, primarily driven by the desire to witness the badass actress from 'Princess Agents' in action again. Needless to say, Zhao Liying did not disappoint – her performance was nothing short of amazing. Wang Yibo, despite having less experience compared to ZLY, held his own as a decent actor. I've heard praises for his series 'The Untamed,' though I haven't seen it yet, so I'll reserve my judgment on that.Overall, the series lived up to expectations, but if I'm being honest, I found myself yearning for a more ruthless Zhao Liying. Maybe it's just my personal preference, but her fierceness adds a unique flavor that I can't get enough of. Here's to hoping for more of that in future projects!

A Chaebol Heiress' Unpredictable Journey
I stumbled upon this gem while searching for a drama featuring a female chaebol. Tired of the cliché 'rich boy, poor girl' narratives where the male lead dominates, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this series. Having followed the actress from her previous works, witnessing her portray a badass, rich heiress was truly a delight.What sets this drama apart is not just the character's attitude but the brilliant plot twists that no one could have predicted. It's the kind of series that keeps you hooked with its unpredictability and leaves you hitting the rewind button multiple times. The real shine here is in the unexpected narrative turns. Here's to breaking stereotypes and enjoying a binge-worthy series that defies expectations!

One of the most exciting zombie series I’ve ever watched!
The production and makeup are outstanding, creating a vivid and realistic zombie apocalypse. The plot, set in a high school with students fighting for survival, feels fresh and unique. It’s fascinating to see how teenagers might respond in such a dire situation. It’s also realistic that their reactions differ from how adults might handle things, which I think explains why some viewers were frustrated with certain characters' choices.The acting is solid, and the cast shows great potential. While I’m not familiar with most of the actors, it’s clear some have acting experience. The actor who played Cheong-san seems like a former child star. Meanwhile, the actors portraying On-jo, Nam-ra, and Su-hyeok were new faces for me, but they delivered impressive performances. I’m excited to see where their careers go from here.
The intro was also well-crafted and immediately pulled me in. I’m eagerly awaiting Season 2! However, there are some things I wish the writers had explored more, like a face-off between Gwi-nam and the bullied girl who turned into a zombie—it felt like a highly anticipated moment that never happened. Additionally, I’d love to see more interactions between the students and the adults in the next season.
Overall, this series is a must-watch, and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds in the future!

Just Okay, but Dull
The plot is somewhat interesting but a bit overused. I've watched half the series. The characters are easy to get, but it's a bit dull that they all act alike. The main characters, both top players from the same school, fall for each other, which is cute but a bit shallow. Even though the actors are big now, they were newbies when the show started, and it shows in their stiff acting, especially the leads. In the end, I decided to drop the series because it gets boring and feels like nothing much is happening.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

A Satisfying and Inevitable Ending!
The third and final season of Penthouse, in my opinion, serves as a fitting conclusion for all the characters in the series. Despite their actions, driven by the desire for the betterment of their children, the characters' deeds are, in essence, irredeemable. While some may argue that the two mothers should have survived, I find the collective demise to be a more acceptable ending. The toll of their actions has left them physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted.The conclusion of the students/children's arcs is also well-executed, offering significant character developments and delivering just outcomes, even considering the involvement of other characters in crimes such as murder and arson. This trilogy holds a special place in my heart, and I anticipate revisiting it whenever I seek a touch of complexity in my drama list.

Moving Experience!
I've reached the end of this series, and what a ride it has been! From start to finish, it was a truly moving experience. The characters are fantastic, and the acting is superb, especially by Han Hyo Joo, who clearly brings a veteran touch to her role. Hae Soo's dad is an absolute gem—a lovable character who brings warmth to every scene.Their individual stories and the intertwining stories of the three children were brilliantly portrayed, contributing to the overall greatness of the series.
There's something about the layers in each episode that make it worth revisiting. Overall, this series has left a lasting impression on me. It's not just a show; it's an emotional journey that I've completed, and I'm grateful for the experience.

Same Old Story!
The casting for this series is impressive, filled with top actors. However, the story is nothing but a string of clichés—a typical setup featuring a Rich cool male lead, a doormat female lead, an arrogant second male lead, and an obsessive second female lead. You also have the cute secondary couple and the usual background actors. It’s like they threw in every cliché imaginable, making it feel very predictable and uninspired.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Familiar Plot, No Hook!
It’s a decent series, but I dropped it because it didn’t hook me. The plot felt familiar, and it seems like the male leads are what excite people the most. The female lead is okay, but I didn’t feel any chemistry between them. I liked the different stories in each lifetime, but it got boring. I ended up skipping parts and just couldn’t finish itVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Not for everyone!
I totally understand that everyone has different tastes when it comes to shows. I've watched up to episode 3, but I found it difficult to continue past episode 4. While I recognize that this is a remake, I must admit it feels a bit lackluster to me. The acting is decent, but the storyline just hasn’t really captured my interest. I hope you understand!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A Little Thing Called First Love

Why This Series Didn’t Work for Me
I primarily watched this series because of the lead actors and my curiosity about this Chinese adaptation of the Thai movie Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which I loved for its freshness and perfection. I was interested to see how they would expand a movie into a series format.While I must commend the cast for their performances, I believe some stories are better suited as films rather than extended series. The pacing felt off, particularly with how long it took to show Miao Miao's transformation and beauty, causing the plot to drag. I understand that this is a series, and adapting a two-hour movie into a longer format presents challenges, but I found myself losing interest. I ended up skipping through many scenes, only watching the parts I enjoyed, and ultimately decided to drop the series altogether.
