Plus Kisses Minus A lot
This drama has a lot of potential as it has pretty ok actors, nice cameo, sweet second couple a decent story to tell and not an overly annoying character in sight...However instead of communicating with each other most characters seem to choose kissing. As in some dramas you find yourself thinking now kiss... this is a drama where you find yourself thinking now talk... And please say something else then " We Will Always Be Together" as I kept wondering when - We'll Always Be Together from Grease would start playing. FYI - It didn't.
The story development is more or less non existent... Kiss I like you( for some after 20 years) Poof that person is dining - kiss, , poof that person died- kiss, poof we are camping-kiss, kiss- lets break up,I hate you-kiss, I love you- kiss, the world is ending-kiss, you do not respect me- kiss, lets get married-kiss, lets get a divorce- kiss, and so on and so on.. First or second couple other couples doesn't really matter everything seems to come out of nowhere and you are never more than a scene away from a kiss or make out session. The kisses where the type where they look like they are trying to eat the other persons face better than dead fish but not really as fluffy as other kisses can be.
Still it was an ok watch, nothing I recommend but nothing I regret spending time on either.

Everybody loves Yumi... including Yumi
This drama has some reallay nice scenes, some sweet romance here and there and a guy who seems to be just a little bit to perfect to be true... And probably is not quite as perfect as he seems.There are a bunch of highly annoying characters some highly lovable characters but mostly a bunch who seem to act as fillers here and there.. there to make us wonder, keep us insecure and keep us guessing... However at one point it goes over bord and just becomes meeh...
The cells have been upgraded from season one, but the conflict and passion has been highly reduced and this season could easily have taken 8 episodes to complete if it weren't for the unnecessary fillers and conflicts here and there that made me like Yumi just a little bit less.
All that said, I do not regret watching this and will probably watch next season as well... if there is one.

Money, Power , Betrayal and a bunch of really angry women
This is a pretty short drama showing the viewers that it is pretty tiresome for women to live in a world where men utterly suck... Can lead to a whole lot of frustration... And a feeling of wanting to get back at them by any means.As we gather some petty creative woman who will stop at littearly noting to get what they want or more like to get their revenge...Blackail, framing, embezzlement, marriage,, calling rape... And more or less anything else you can imagine. There is truly nothing these angry woman are not willing to do to get what they want or kill them all while trying.
What I love about this drama is the pure evil, the corruption, the twists and the feeling of wtf... and can a person really be that evil (apparently yes). All keeping my interst to click on that next episode and binge it in less than a day. However I did feel that the ending was a little bit predictable and kind of rushed and would have wanted another episode or two to wrap things ups a bit better. Another thing I did not like about this drama was the crying rapa narrative, as these types of things often discredit woman who have actually been raped as most women will not report this patly due to fear of accusations of crying rape.
I find it kind of cute that a man who says he only sees women as vessels for sex, somehow is the most allegeable bachelor out there... That woman, mothers heck politicians keep fighting for. While there actually is a rich, handsome guy out there who nobody seems to want to give the time of day? However for a drama not listed as a romance it actually has some pretty decent romance, feelings and unrequited love here and there. At least if you are willing to believe these people have the ability to love which I am not really sure of... Not really the type I would want to be part of but entertaining to watch.
So to sum it up, this very short drama delivers what it promises, has some pretty interesting characters and is indeed fun to watch. It may not always make sense and it may not be a masterpiece but it does the job and will cater for all your evil, corruption and revenge needs.

Life Senjou no Bokura: Director's Cut
4 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Hopping on the train or following ones line is not alway an easy choice to make..
This movie is an emotional ride, as we get to follow the lives of these two boys to men... from the wild imagination to the bitter reality struggling and trying to balance the pressure of leading a normal life and being true to ones self.This drama shows quite a few issues in a very honest and I dare say real way, as many people will /have found them selfs dealing with these struggles, gay or not. Life is always harder on those who stick out and while it may be easier to just hop on that normalcy train... It is a lot more painful.
The leads are in no way perfect, while one is more lovable than the other (in my opinion), both have their flaws just like most humans making them relatable, and making me feel for them. I did of course also want to beat a few people up as we get to see both racism and homophobia disguised as concern how this could be concern is of course beyond me but I know there are a whole bunch of people who actually do believe their racism is concern and well this movie does a pretty good job showing both the internalised homophobia one may feel as well as a whole bunch of shades of homophobia, but also a whole lot of love, lust and everything in-between.
The movie has quite a few really good inner monologs showing just how important (yet again) communication is, as well as just taking a step back and listening to ones partner instead of assuming things as one of the leads does get a lesson in both consent, and regret and so on and so on...
So what can I say... It is a good movie, not always easy to watch but it is a good movie
In numbers:
Consent: 7
Chemistry: 10
Romance: 8
Real feel: 9
Lovable characters: 8 (one of the male leads is a d*** sometimes)
Depth: 10

Over the top but interesting at times
Well this clearly was not really my cup of coffee... It was an ok watch but I did hit that double speed button once or twice and found myself struggling with watching it.... Why? Well let's start with the 3 mains:1. Ms, emotional wreck/cry baby... would probably get emotional from seeing a person she has never met drop their ice cream and will burst in to tears 10 times an episode. Do not get me wrong, it is important to be in touch with ones emotion and I am all for people crying. However this is just over done making me want to have a good talk withe her about how to re-direct those emotions. She also finds comfort in others misfortune... Yes she feels for them but also uses it to cheer herself up... my problems are not as bad as that guys so I should just put myself together... She is naive as **** and keeps getting doupet by the world... Do not get me wrong she does have her fun moments, sweet, caring to the point of obsession, but after seeing her cheer her up with others misfortune I felt that she was not that genuine after all... But I do like her at times she has a beautiful smile and does show an interesting personality from time to time...
2. Mr Playful Jerk on the outside, fluffy marshmallow on the inside... A kid who was never really loved and acts like a 2 year old who has not had their nap... immature but still the boy is very pretty and has the greatest character development of them all... He is overall a person that it is easy to open up to and feel comfortable with.
3. Mr arrogant Icicle on the outside, mature cotton candy on the inside... A Super Physical therapist, mature, good looking and what many would think waaay out of number 1s league... is actually kind of awkward and falls for her kindness and says the words " Should i give you some advice?" over and over again without actually waiting for the other person to answer. This is walking a thin line between funny and just over the top. he is however extremely mature and listen up! He seems to respect and trust the person he. crushes on... a rare gem in Dramaland. But also kind of dull...
The three have these Reply 1988 moments here and there but just not as good...
Non of these seem to have great chemistry....
Then there are some more over the top characters with repetitive lines, over the top behaviour... Making this the perfect drama for you who do not mind over the top characters as it does have some pretty awesome friendships, no one brings out your anger and all seem to have a story to tell...
This may not have been my cup of coffee but I can not give it less than 7 because I can see it is a pretty good drama, but just not for me... For those who wonder why I did not drop it, I was curious about how it would end and if I would get SLS or not...

Not so innocent but very loving
I may be strange but starting a series with a steamy shower scene the first 10 minutes does not really spell innocence... Not that they have anything to feel guilty about it just seems more adult...There is not much to say for the pacing and cinematography as they tend to be kind of meeh... And there is not enough time to really get to know or build up the characters of this short series. However! The story itself has a lot of potential if they just had more time and probably budget?
What I love about the series is that the little we do get to see of each character is lovable and that they do manage to show a person with a mental illness as a competent human being worthy of love, not inspite of their illness but for who they are (including the illness) letting them be themselves..." Isn't he a part of you too... "
The acting was pretty good, and could not have been the easiest acting task to show... It may not captivate you or keep you on your toes... at times it does become slightly confusing too.
Annoying characters: non
Bingeabilaty: High this is way to short...
Fluff: medium
This is definitely a title I would recommend, that is worth a watch.
P.s. Do not mis the special Not that Innocent, it makes the story more complete

A rom com cliche fest
This is just one of these easy to watch, easy to binge type of dramas with lovely visuals and high entertainment value... but very little depth... A feast for all usäs cliche lovers.. let's just say that if I had a made a game board with drama cliches I wold not only get BINGO but an all clear... as the cliches come one after the other. Some of the cliches have their own little spin others no.. Making sure that you can guess the twist 80% of the 20% that differs may just help keep you on your toes for the whole drama,The Leads are mostly lovely, fun to watch and cute... there is some cringe and second hand embarrassment here and there but it did not make me loose interest in them as they were just so much fun to watch the other 95% or the time making me almost forget and definitely forgive those 5%.
The Friendships in this drama are overall great, fun to watch, easy to fall in love with as there is both a sismance and bromance worthy of the mances hall of fame. And a found family to die for...
There are some annoying elements and side characters that are there to be comic relief but kind of got on my nerves instead, however again this was at an acceptable level.
in numbers:
Bingeabilaty: 10
Annoying elements: low to medium
Romance: 9
Friendship: 10
Entertainment. 10
So not a must watch but definitely something for all us rom com cliches lovers out there.

Great male lead but to many annoying elements.
This drama has some good points but they are overshadowed by the presence of annoying side characters, annoying scenes seemingly never ending monologs... Flashbacks, montages, and the extreme over use of the words: "from this day on... " over and over and over again... Accompanied by lots and of second hand embarrassment...The female lead, is very much an overly timid scaredy cat who is supposed to be bad ass and act tough, stronger, faster than most men and what not she comes off strong as a person who does not really care much about gender, saying that the only difference between her and a man is the lack of penis...(which is kind of a problematic way of saying it). I think it is supposed to be progressive but it ends up a bit of a mess and can be interpreted as both pan, trans, bi, etc friendly but it can also come off as the opposite depending on who is watching and how the dots are connected. There are definitely ways of interpreting this as very lLGBTQ+ friendly, but also spaces that can be interpreted either way.
The Male lead is however perfect in every way sweet, lovable, charming, kind. smart and definitely stands some good pan representation. His parents are pretty lovable too and so is the female leads cousin. But there is where the lovable characters end.
So in conclusion, not very good, not very entertaining, but the ML and fighting scenes do make it an ok watch. and stand for all the stars for this drama...

Sweet, fun, fluffy...
This drama is like a great mix of most of my favourite tropes done well , not great but pretty good a highly addictive very bingeable and with pretty lovable characters and pretty cinematography. As they mix Go Back Couple, with The Brightest Star in The sky threw in While. You Were Sleeping and added maybe just a dash of What Is Wrong With Secretary Kim. And may just may make you want to fall down a well...This drama excelled in use of umbrellas ad they were probably present in every episode and used for all from flirting, slo mo romance but best of all they were even used as weapons! The budget for confetti and cleaning up confetti in this drama must have been huge almost as big as the budget for umbrellas and hoodies.
The drama also has some of dreamlands sweetest parents, friendships and shows lovely ways of handling some popular drama cliches. However the part of the main plot that is not romance, is kind of draggy and feels pretty unnecessary, it is as if it is only there to add some seemingly never ending propaganda monologs, fire and action all things that are not nearly as interesting as the chemistry, dynamics, family relations, and romance in the rest of the drama and is what brings down the score from a 10 to a 9, but if you skip past those parts you will se that the rest is a lot of fun as this drama has it all bickering siblings, bickering couples (yes I like bickering), caring, snow, slow or glass, slow mo rain... a smart and mature female lead who can actually stand up for herself , a swim team, boxing and even a puppy...
Also! There is a scene were a guy actually asks a girl if he can kiss her??? In a C-drama? What are the odds?
In numbers:
Bingeabilaty: 10
Main Couple: 10
Side characters: 8
Annoying elements: very few
Umbrellas: 10
Fluff: 10
Frustration: 9
Definitely one of the better C-dramas out there.

Something Sweet but not a lot of flavour...
There is definitely someone sweet in that room... there are lovable characters, gorgeous visuals but not much suspense and nothing scary...This is a sweet rom com showing us the value of loving while being fully aware of the fact that you will soon part ways... As there is a very clear and short time frame for this ghost with amnesia... But yes even a ghost with amnesia can be someones ones true love... Truly showing that it is never to late for love and all those sweet cliches... The idea of committing and loving whole heartedly even if it is for a short while is probably what makes this drama special... Though I kept hoping for the oh so popular coma twist or some kind of miracle...A twist that may or may not have come in the end... I am not telling you because I want you to feel the agony and hope yourselves.
To be honest I have been racking my brain over what it is about this drama that had me feeling meh... it was not the ending and most definitely not the visuals, nor was it the main characters they were all adorable.... However it felt like the story was missing something, the twists were not very predictable but they were also kind of meh...With a lot of potential to show greatness they kind of fell flat.
That said there are quite a few sweet and fun scenes with both bickering, teasing and playful mains... Lots of beautiful scenes and some pretty ok romance scenes... The longing to touch could have been portrayed a lot better, the mystery too...
So watch it don't watch it it is probably no big deal but if you do watch it do not expect to much suspense or exhilarating drama and you should be fine.
P.S. It also deals with wanting to forget vs cherishing ones memories in a pretty nice way rarely seen on screen.

Very annoying brother...
I would like to split this movie in to to half 1st, supposedly comedy filled with annoying characters, bad habits there to make you hate the older brother so much that you almost wish him dead... Being a sexist, shameless conman... of the worst kind. And the younger brother being kind of depressed after loosing his eyesight... can't blame him for that...The other half will make that wish come true... teaching us to be careful what we wish for, and is a complete turn around, en explosion of character development making you wish him well... Hoping he will live long and prosper for all eternity... ok maybe not, but apparently it It takes a terminal illness to get an annoying brother to stop being annoying...
I admit I was annoyed so the first half was really not my cup of coffee, but I can not blame the writers, directors or the actors, it is not as if they did not warn me with the title and all... The acting was mostly good and the story pretty unique. There is a lot of character development,
So not really my cup of coffee but a pretty okay movie... at least the second part was good.

Some privileged men with power suck (literally)
Before you watch this check the tags!If you are here for the pretty faced fuckboys than back away... and go watch something else. If you feel like watching something slightly suspenseful that shows the less flattering side of MANkind, with a side od pretty faces (and nude bodies) this is not a bad place to look for it.
The movie starts off a bit slow and messy, but about half way in to it the darkness takes over and we get to see how one thing leads to another as well as the seemingly never ending circle or dare I say avalanche of blackmail abuse where one thing leads to another and just gets worse and worse... All to satisfy the never ending desire of the predator. This part is actually done pretty well and VERY graphic...
I am not sure I would say this is a great movie, neither was it very entertaining but the acting was pretty good some of the scenery lovely and well the suspense ok and the story may not be revolutionary but it is defiantly one worth watching so all in all a pretty decent movie.

Lock down at it´s messiest
Put two people together under quarantine and something is bound to happen, ether they will kill or kiss each other or get close to both...The drama starts off with this sweet sweet guy who goes to hook up anonymously with another sweet sweet guy but can´t and instead ends up stuck there for 2 week...
Sounds all sweet and fun just that the sweet, sweet guy is a broken, broken guy who becomes this evil slightly sadistic cold male lead who goes to great lengths to keep the anonymity and reinforce his very high walls. While mr optimistic rainbows does all in his powers to drill holes in those walls.
Will he succeed, is he worth it? I am not going to tell you, but I will tell you that me cold is pretty good with the whole consent thing and has some teddy bear moments. .. Mr rainbows is more fragile than he looks, And both pull off this lock-down pretty well keeping a pretty high entertainment value even though there are like 4 characters in the whole show and they more or less never leave the house.
There are no annoying characters in this drama and the ost is pretty decent too.
Was it great no, was it worth a watch defiantly yes.
Also I would like a second season for this, preferably outdoors.

Sweet and HOT but may be missing a plot...
This is a really sweet drama filled with cute couples and sweet, sweet (thirsty) moments... But I am honestly not really sure about what the main plot is here... And it does leave you with a whole bunch of questions that fit the name of the dramaWhy R U, writing a BL about your brother- The "writer" is actually a really playful fun character and I would most certainly have understood if it was a friend who wrote it but sister, just felt odd...
Why R U editing this way? this drama is the master of slomo, montage and triple everything... making sure we will not miss a kiss, a touch or a fluffy scene... we get to see every kiss three times (in a row) + maybe in a montage or ten,,,
Why R U so many? This drama has so many couples it is hard to keep track of them while all are sweet (maybee to quick and odd too) they feel unnecessary and just make this messy. I do however support them all having dramas of their own someday (if they have not yet)
Ok enough with the Why R Us... This is an enjoyable watch with a lot of beautiful shots, lovely scenery and beautiful fun characters and a sweet cat (and a kitten in the background).
The main couple is so much fun to watch, yet mr fighter does need to get a bit better at controlling himself.. but he does get points for mostly espiering to gaining consent, except for that one time... oh and that other time... but in between those times he does try to respect Tutors boundaries.
Tutor is such a fun character, charming, smart, fun but a bit of a scardy cat...
The second couple is just so much fun, sweet, talented and definitely the source of many laughs.. that the product placement and the photo angels had me laughing so I almost peed a little...
And well those are the highlights without spoiling, this was fun to watch but prepare yourself for a mess and 0 depth...

Dark, fun, dark, deep...
This was too short and so much fun... It starts off in a dark, dark lake filled with dar, dark suicidal humour, definitely catering to my very dark side as it takes us on a pretty dark, did I mention it is dark? Journey to get away from some gangsters counted by seemingly endless obstacles and more or less humorous situations with just a dash of issues...As the story unfolds it becomes less and less funny, and more and more dark, deep and painful... again with interesting twists and sprinkles of again dark, oh so dark humour...
The characters are interesting, fun, unpredictable at times and not the least bit annoying (though I do feel for the bird)...
The humour is dark...
The romance is actually pretty light but deep...
The drama is too short....
And the journey this drama takes you on is just a blast!
