My Bickering Couple
I love the female lead, and the friends are pretty good... the second male lead had a lot of moments and the male lead has his ups and downs but there is a lot of draaaaag, and I have a bunch of issues with the plot, like a lot of issues with the plot making this drama kind of hard to rate as some parts (especially the female lead) deserve a 10 while others a 2.So what we have here is the story about the smart boy who used to binge eat a lot and the sporty girl who never studied... Showing us how people are judged based on their grades and looks. Some of this was actually done really well, even showing the very rare fear of eating that can come to those with eating disorders triggered by weight loss. However most of the way this is handled feels off and not very accepting towards people with body fat, even if it seams like they try to say you are valid just the way you are...
The main couple fights about 99% of the time bringing new meaning to the term bickering couple, they do have a lot of fun and sweet moments between the bickering that I did appreciate. However the male lead has a bit of a whiney nature and tone to him so at one point I started finding him annoying and once we passed that point there was really no turning back even if he di have a killer smile and great chemistry and I dare say tension between him and the female lead . The way his character character was written was just not male lead material I guess.... Unlike the female lead who is lovable though and tough she admits to her shortcomings, is strong, fun, caring... and has some of the best parants in all of dramaland as well as a really cute dog.
I also get the feeling that they try to mix in some representation of people outside the able bodied norm but it is done in the worst possible way... using people with disabilities and illnesses as a way to excuse bad behaviour which almost made me drop this drama, if it wern´t for the great parants, two amazing teachers, friendships and awesome female lead and her chemistry with the male lead I would indeed have dropped it
So what can I say it is mostly a good watch but beware there are a bunch of issues with the plot so not expect to be enlightened by the story...

Just Your Typical Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Movie
It is what it is... and well you get what you signed up for a bunch of cliches, a mediocre story but great chemistry an easy watch and puppy eyes.As the hows of us tell the story of the failed musician who may be good at writing lyrics and debating stuff but completely forgets how to use words when he actually needs them. And the women who tried so hard to make things work that she ended up completely exhausted, and without a diploma.
Though a bunch of flash backs here and there ewe get to see bickering, slight stalking, lovely umbrellas and the making of a disastrous relationship, it's good times, it's bad times all the way to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor Swift song not included). To wait will they get back together? or can they at leas be friends type of deal.
There is little to know consistency in this drama and the details are a bit off but when you are in the mood for a Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla movie with it's usual stuff this is a decent place to get it. As it is a movie you watch for those two and pretty much nothing else...

Social Media Monolog Montage
This is the story of 20 years of communication development shown though the lives of 5 boys who grew up in a small city from sending letters, to MSN, Line, Facebook and what not...The story it self is pretty decent and so are most of the characters, complex human being with difficulty a whole lot of angst and emotions. Just like media they go through phases and make som odd turns in beta before they move on. Most of the characters are lovable most of the time, and have a nice interesting story to tell however the story is cut short by filling it with never ending almost sermon type monologues and montages everywhere... taking away from the plot and ruining both the pace and depth this slice of life could have had. As those + time skips and hops back and forth take away from this really good core.
Most of the mains acting is really good, emotions are delivered well and speaking without words was truly well done. However some of the side characters delivery of monolog felt rehearsed and got boring... the leads monologs too did I mention there are a lot of monologs? But what takes the cake from this drama that I wanted to rate higher was the awful wigs and random use of time references... done so bad it wiped out so much of the good in this.
The drama it self is bingeable, and I truly appreciate seeing this type of story with this cast so I want to recommend it, but warn people of the time mess, monologs and under developed plot lines that could have been so much more.
Oh and yes there. is a lot of remembering maybe to much remembering...

Sweet and Awkward...
This is the story about the boy (ok man) who was hung up on being cute, the office he worked in and the awkward girl he got close too by fate... + himself 30 years later.The boys wish to hold on to his cuteness serves as criticism towards the profitably of the youth preservation market as well as shows how cuteness and so called good looks give a bunch of perks but besides not lasting also have some down sides to the, Cute people are people to... Basically what feminists have been talking about for years now shown though what one may call gender role reversal... without actually using those words. He may be a bit vain and obsessed with his looks but he is also a total warm sweetheart, insecure, jealous, and the type that makes you go ooooh how cute... about 80% of the time.
The female lead a typical icicle, awkward, stiff. and just my type. I love her, I love their interactions and how straight forward she is.
The side character are a bit to much for me, they had their good parts too and are defiantly not the worst or most extreme I have seen. but they are just not my cup of coffee however those who love the typical Japanese over the top comedy side characters will probably fall for these too.
There are a few unnecessary misunderstandings that take away from the fluff, but not too much of it. The kissing scenes are more ooh how cute slightly awkward than passionate. The male lead also seems to be respectful and have some kind of understanding of the concept of consent.
The overall message also seems decent.
Definitely an easy to binge , lovely fluffy drama that I recommend to those who want something sweet.

Toothache Sweet wWith a Dentist on Top
So Sweet it will give you a toothache... or maybe it is more like make you want to go to the dentist... However this drama is actually nothing special it has some trauma here and there, decent pace, some romance some minor drama, a bunch of insecurities... And a few tropes I enjoyed and some I enjoyed a bit less.The dentist male lead is a lovely slightly cold but also straight forward and the type to use words while still staying cold.
The Restaurant owner male lead is a bit childish at times, in a mostly cute way, he is bubbly, kind and an overall interesting character though I am not an expert his portrayal of trauma management feels a bit off...
Having a lot of scenes at the dentists office with teeth is not really my thing as I do not enjoy needless or looking in to peoples mouthes so I found myself looking away more often then in a drama with gore in it so be warned.
There are no annoying characters in this drama, a bunch of good friendships and found family. However yet another BL with mature adults that included a couple with a person who is legally an adult but who has not really passed puberty felt unnecessary the characters where good enough as they where.
Other then that there are some nice food shots, lovely hoodies and great scenes shot in the rain... So though it may not be a masterpiece it is highly bingeable, sweet and definitely worth a watch.

Spiked rose water with a dash of sun...
I beg your pardon... I never promised you a rose garden... However it is pretty much what you will get here, pretty flowers with thorns that dry up in the heat... Or something like that... there are at least a lot of roses. This drama is not good, it is not bad it is good not mediocre, but it will grab your attention and once you get in to it becomes extremely addictive and highly entertaining... Like some kind of rose drug...The amount of annoying elements, things that make 0 sense, overacting and characters you wish where dead is huge as you will probably want to punch all but maybe 3 of the cast at one pint or another. The leads take turns at being the character you want to punch, the one you want to hug ,send to prison... . The male leas has more red flags than the red flag campaign (yes there is such a thing). But they are both mostly smart, and interesting to watch plus heir chemistry, bickering, mood-swings is just lovely, they are extremely charming and they are indeed both very nice to look at. But again this must come with a warning do not do this at home, do not set this up as relationship goals...
The story has a few very predictable twists and others that I would not say took me by surprise but where not as predictable as the rest. The amount of cliches is almost overwhelming, luckily I love cliches but if you do not then this drama is definitely not for you. The scenery is also very lovely. The editing is a bit off, the acting varies in quality and though the music is a bit repetitive it is very catchy and could be one of this dramas biggest spoilers telling you who are supposed to be the villains, who are supposed to fall in love etc...
All in all a highly addictive fun to watch drama for those who do not really care about quality and can live with a bunch of annoying characters you will want to strangle.

I felt something therefore I scored it highly.... Probably too highly...
This is the story of the very innocent girl who got lured in to the miss understood bad boys bed and well after that life went all bananas. The acting is kind of off, the story predictable and packed with a bunch of cliches but honestly this movie is from 2007 so it actually came before all those other movies and dramas I have seen with similar plot lines so I really should not complain and I am pretty sure that MEME (thai writer) has seen this movie a long side a bunch of K-drama writers and of course a few J-drama writers too...The first half of this movie was a bit like a rocket launch fast paced and had me thinking over and over again well that escalated quickly.... Just for the rocket to run out of fuel about 30,000 km up and fall in super speed right to the ground... Still pretty faset paced but all goes to ****. So basically In a short period of time we experience a lot of more or less interesting situations. Do they handle any of them remotely well? Probably not? But at least something happens...
And even if I did not fall in love with the characters acting skills there was something that got to me... If you are the type easily prone to tears you may cry in this. For me it was just light fog at the corner of my eye. But I can definitely se people crying while. watching this.
So if you are looking for the beloved guilty pleasure of bad boy takes good girl and turns her bad, or just looking for a bunch of fluff... You may just wanna look somewhere else but if you can handle a bit of everything and want to see soemthing pre smart phones this is definitely a decent place to find it.

Don´t lie to your kids
Well this was 3 minutes of hope turned to sadness... in this very sweet and oddly touching commercial/assay of a child showing several sides to unemployment, struggles and parenthood, trying to protect ones children from the hardships one goes through but apparently kids know, who would have thought ;)These are 3 minutes of montages of fatherhood and temp work/struggles accompanied by a child's voice (in english).
Definitely worth 3 minutes of your time, though it is indeed a very good commercial.

8 minutes of cuteness
"You do not have to change yourself if it is the right one" you just have to use this spray to get rid of your acne...This is short (duh), sweet and fun without becoming to pathetic, (hopefully) reminding viewers that there is no one way to be gay and that it is not to be used as s slur. As well as the importance of using skin products. Basically the perfect cleanser between shows to suit all your sweetness needs. Yes this is indeed a commercial, a very good one at that.
So if you have 8 minutes to spare why not spend them watching this?

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey

Secret Recording, Playful Puppy
The start of Off Gun is worth watching and is therefore about 90% of the reason I did not score this lower.The story itself is mostly sweet, boys do all in their power except for honesty (but who needs that in a drama) to save the club that saves the stray animals... Yes a lot of saving here....
Girl saviour (the only one who can save the club) is terrified of dog, but gets stalked of a fluffy puppy to the point of giving in... Girls best friend falls in love with fluffy puppies best friend and well that is pretty much it.
There are a lot of sweet scenes and playfulness thru out however the intrigues are predictable and not very well executed, the story lacks depth and very little of the drama makes any sense what so ever/ is under developed and rushed as the female lead has serous trust issues and the male lead is only good at stalking and pretty much nothing else.
But then we have Gun, oh my dear sweet Gun who makes this show worth while... He is fun, has good lines and is just his usual self. His dynamics with off are very familiar too... Though Off is not as much as a **** as he is in some of their other dramas...
Fluff: 9
Intrigues 2
Bingabilaty: 10
Acting:varies, some good some bad
So if you like fluffy animals, this will fill your need but twill not be enough to keep you, if you are a fan of any of the cast and love animals this is definitely a show worth watching... As for me I am off to watch season 2... or maybe not right away...

What a difference a day makes...
This movie starts off a bit meeh, with some questionable slightly low humour, meeh quality, meeh characters... yep meeh indeed.But then comes the male lead, who is charming, fun, oddly relatable and that actually takes medicine for his illness and has bruises, symptoms, and though he does have some mood swings his decisions, worries, and reactions make a lot of sense. He also has a lovely sense of humour which is obviously his way of dealing with his illness.
The female lead was annoying at first but she grew on me, she is a bit impulsive, but also fun and her chemistry with the male lead is pretty decent.
There are perts that seem can seem to glorify suicide and death by renaming it being taken by aliens, and though I do think they take the subject a bit to lightly, they do shed light on som pretty big problems in society, and deal with loss, pain, loneliness, guilt of being a burden on your family and even squeeze in a crappy biological father.
Though the filming and well everything in the begging was bit meeh, the scenery and situations towards the end were really pretty, and though I did have to turn off my brain at times I did end up actually wanted to see more of these two.
P.s. I even shed a tear or two in this, so they managed to get to me though the meeh

Zero to Hero to Zero to Hero and so on...
This movie is based on a true story, and though we can not know how true every element is, the story does come off as believable, at times a bit sad other times uplifting and so on, focusing more on the process than the actual Zero and Hero partWhat I like about this story is that it is not afraid to confront the use of people with disabilities to inspire able bodied people... with a whole lot of if he can so should you and so on as there is quite a bit of criticism towards the add industry and how Paralympic athletes are treated. Along side the day to day life and importance becoming a hero has for the athlete with a disability for as as long as they can classify as heroes they will not be treated as badly as other people with disabilities. Do not get them wrong they still get treated as stereotypes, get controlled and risk being used by others to add on the stereotyping of people with disabilities. But at least they have a chance at making a living.
I also like how they show the people in this movie as humans, both the able bodied and disabled people portrayed here are not made to look neither overly pathetic or too heroic. The brother who was brought to the world just to take care of his brother does not just accept his destiny and shows that having a brother with a disability is not always fun and games either.
However there is something about the way it was edited that seemed at times to speak agains itself, on the one hand saying do not use people with disabilities as inspirational crap, but also please look at this montage with violins and mix in the real guy this is based on to try to get the viewers to feel a bunch of emotions which kind of put me off.
To sum it up a pretty good movie, not without its problems but defiantly a movie worth watching.

Kisses....
This is the story of the guy who had a girlfriend but kissed a boy and he liked it... More precisely he kissed a very drunk boy, who was so drunk he thought he was kissing someone else... But that does not really matter as he quickly got over the first unattainable guy to fall for the guy with the girlfriend.And well that is how the story goes people kiss people they should not be kissing, they get caught in one way or another, regret kissing whom ever they should not have been kissing... people break, up people get back together and some vlogger reports more or less factual details about them...
The guy with the girlfriend is very possessive and self admittedly jealous, not of his girlfriend but of the guy he kissed. The guy who got kissed is sweet as a button.
There is not much substance or plot to this show and honestly it feels very oddly cut, and it feels like some parts went missing, However it was entertaining enough for me to be curious about "Love Mechanics"

A lovely mix of fluffy ingredients
This is such a feel good dose of cheese, sweetness and fluff... There may not be a lot of substance, and there are som episodes that where a bit more meeh than others and one episode even got on my nerves but over all these guys deliver enough to satisfy whatever need of fluff you may have. As this drama shows us them with a baby, a cat, chocolate, mixes in a little bit of music, jealousy, friendship and just about everything fun to watch.The boys have great chemistry and are the definition of "you complete me" type of deal. Both with humour, smiles and lots, and lots of cooking.
when I started it I felt that I wanted to savour it for a long, long time, but my curiosity got the best of me and I ended up watching it a bit faster than I planned. But Why savour when you can just rewatch episodes of clips whenever you need some fluff?
This is in no way a high quality masterpiece, and is very much a commercial done right. Do not expect greatness just because I gave it a 9, the 9 is solely based on entertainment value and fluff! The type to make you fall for both Jeff and Gameplay (if you have not already).

Sweet as Ho(r)ney
This is a short drama overflowing with honey, insecurities, smiles, fluff and what may be a record in speed and sexscenes...As the couple gets married on the first date, this is anything but a marriage of convenience. this is the type of drama you watch for the fluff, it´s kissing scenes, the pure inner monologs etc. As we get to know the reason the female lead decides to go for a spur of the moment wedding, we are kept on our toes wondering... As they seem to be playing with common tropes, we feel like we should know what is up a head but the viewers , much like the female lead are bound to have trust issues.
Can a man be this cute? Is he just playing with her? Is he just using marriage as a fast way to get girls in bed? are these red or white flags we are witnessing? Why the *** did this guy want to merry her? did he stalk her pre wedding? Is this just the result of a bet? seriously why would a seemingly perfect guy want to marry the first gal he sees?
Both leads have smiles that are huge and reach out through the screen as they use their whole face to smile, and win the audience over. The female leads insecurities can be a bit over whelming at times however she does come of as popular, kind, charming competent and in no way week. The male lead is mysterious, kind?, the type who does not force himself on the female lead he rather waits for her to not only love him but long for him and show her desires, all done in a rater playful slightly cunning way. This guy shows the audience that there are men that no matter how horny they may be they can actually read their partners signals and listen to this, wait to pick up the mood another day... as well as show the ability to take responsibility and rather practice safe sex than do something they may regret. All things that seemed almost too good to be true for a drama.
The side characters are true supporting characters there to move the plot along, add slight spark and drama... Without being annoying or overbearing.
This is definitely a good dose of honey and spice, to up your thirst and make you feel all gooey inside.
