Sweet, light but kind of a tease
You can almost feel the smell of coffee when you watch this easy to watch easy to binge C-drama with little drama and more fluff. About two people who bring out the best in each other and are would fit in the enciclopedia under the You complete me.... kind of thing yet border o co-dependent... The side couples and side stories are also sweet, but actually have more drama than the main couple however they an asset to the drama instead of an annoyance that many other side couples often are.The drama itself deals with some jealousy and how easy it is to start a rumor, yet hard to take it back as well as the consequences rumors can have on peoples lives. It has a fight back , friendships rock and together we can do anything kind of spirit to it that I liked. I also liked the woodwork and scenery shown in the drama.
However this drama probably holds some kind of record in almost kisses, and kisses being interrupted and not taken up in years of dating making me seriously wonder about these peoples will power to hold back, lack of hormones or just the generall message of kissing is shameful... I ave seen other dramas where they hide the kiss behind a parade and those where they never kiss and found it odd but fine, but this constant teasing was a tad frustrating to watch so I must warn you about that. Also the way they talk about mental illness is a bit iffy too, yet still try to show that we are all different but mental illness is used as a slur so be were
But other than that definitely worth watching.

Sweet and funny
This is a sweet, not much new but perfect to binge drama if you like the whole idol + enemies in to lovers theme that I LOVE!I have been struggling s bit with my bingable self choosing short series or movies lately but this one was very easy to binge,
Most of the characters here are just so sweet, complex and loveable with some really fun friendships and snarky remarks (just my kind of humor). There was not one single character that was made in a way that annoyed me. Though they did bring out some of my inner anger and I do believe that one of the males toxicity was not properly addressed over all this drama let both leas and second leads where complex human being capable of feeling a range of emotions as well as making some bad decisions. The dynamics between the couples and their friends are great, so are the female leads parents. Oh how I love the female leads mom she is just cool, funny and lovable in every single way.
There where however a few invigorating choices towards the end that just felt unnecessary and brought down the total score for this otherwise really fun drama.
So all in all if you like watching dramas about enemies to lovers that deal with the harsh life of being a star this is definitely worth a watch.

Not for your inspiration but a movie demanding respect for the weak
It is not always easy to make a movie about people with disabilities without it being dehumanizing inspirational crap treating people with disabilities as sources of inspiration or using people with disabilities to kick att the weak saying if that person can do it why cant you etc... while often portraying a story with some kind of combination of look att that poor thing (yes i choose the word thing) with wow look he can tie his shoes lets applaud him what an inspiration it is to us all....This movie goes against all that and gets really close to showing these people as actual competent humans with feelings, flaws and needs without ignoring the difficulties and stigma people with disabilities face in their daily lives. I love the name of the place they lived in "House of respect" that is so much more important then all these houses of peace, love or what not.
" The weak must protect the weak"
This was a heartwarming tear-jerking laughter igniting story about true friendship, not against all odds but a mutual friendship where the two people involved perfectly complete each other and the people around them who love them just the way they are. And yes I loved it!

Great female lead and interesting story that is less familiar then one may think
I came for Han Ji Min and stayed for the story.What if... don´t we all have the what if I had stayed... what if I had showed upp in time... If I could just redo this one thing would my life change and would I be happier? What about the people around me would they be happier in a world where I made a different choice?
The story start off like many other stories like them an unhappy marriage. a miserabel life filled with misfortune and lets face it a guy who is a total d**** , to be honest the guy may evolve as the story progresses but he is still a total coward and a d**** hence not very lovable (yet handsome) making me wish the female lead would stay singel . The female lead is however cool, fun and just has this amazing vibe to her that made me wish her all the happiness in the world, no matter who is or is not beside her.
The acting in this drama is great, the side characters are all lovable, and add that little extra spark to the story-line. The pace of the drama is good as well and it truly is a good drama that almost makes you forget the whole back to the future theme to it...
If you have seen go back couple this drama is a bit more mature it has more drama, more smart humor, less awkward humor and is more about the male leads journey and how small choices can change ones life completely. More responsibility less communication problems, and an entirely different plot. I liked both the acting, the plot and the side characters in familiar wife more (but enjoyed both).
Last but not least, I was really surprised by the ending so I guess this may not be a must watch but definitely worth the watch !

A classic
How does one rate such a classic?To be honest it is not actually any good, and the male lead and his family have more red flaggs than red roses are handed out on valentines day (world wide). Yet still I have to recommend this to all drama fans, for its entertainment value as well as being the mother of oh so many dramas...
Easy to watch, easy to want to throw water at the screen and just oh so much fun!

Decent story, could have been executed a bit better
This was in many ways a very beautiful story, or should i say two parallel stories one we know will end with our male lead dyeing. The other a story of youth, young romance and healing of not the worst kind but still healing.While the time line is all mixed up, the uniforms make sure to keep us from getting confused however once the flashbacks turn in to some kind of talking to a memory the cringe takes over and I found myself rolling my eyes taking a deep breath and just exhaling in frustration.
The overall message is pretty good though and it does not take the issue of suicide or the self guilt afterwords lightly at all which should have upped the score but there where a few to many details that I just could not ignore while setting the score for this.
The acting varies between good and meeh, As Seo Ji Hoon and So Ju Yeons acting is noticably better than the rest of the leading cast. That said the teens are lovely most of the time and there is this little cute gay side couple that share a yellow umbrella in the most subtle but sweet way.
An okay watch, easy to binge as it has short episodes and a decent pacing with the plot.
One more thing the casting of the younger brother was waaay off,
Seo Ji Hoon and Kim Min Kyu look nothing like each other, and do not share the same mimics and can bearaly pass as brothers not to mention look just like his brother... These two are litteraly the guys to disproveonce and for all those ignorant people who say "but they all look the same"

Still, very still
Still + Life, very still life a moment in time captured on film that gives it the feeling of watching a Documentary without the narrating voice that often follows + some fantasy shots here and there to make sure we know it is a movie and not a Documentary.About 50% of the film is a bunch of half naked working men, eating noodles and singing... concrete surrounded by beautiful views, more concreete and demolishen work spraying even more concrete around.
Not a lot of dialog, not really sure what actually happened as it was really boring... and though there are some powerful scenes here and there they are clouded by the dust from all the demolition work...
The quality of the filming has a nostaligic feel to it that had me thinking it was shot in the 70s and not end of the 1990s-2006...
But it is indeed a still life film

Ambush...
Well... this was slightly confusing a movie where they spared the blood but not the gunshots with very little plot (if any). A movie where we are left to fill in the blanks quite a lot, I guess you could say this is a movie without a mission therefore they had to call it The Mission.A movie that has you wondering why is a man who has just survived an attempted assassination always i big spaces where he can easily be shot?
I get it that this was pre covid and pre teams but I am sure they could schedule meetings in slightly safer/more controllable settings. But then again we would not have anything to watch now would we*?
An ok watch that was oddly entertaining at times, stupid as ***

Fluff Meets a Mild Depression With Thoughts of Suicide
This drama has a whole lot of eye candy and fluff, but very little substance and makes. no sense what so ever.One moment it is light, the next dark and then light again but it is the same day... The decisions people make, lines of communication and plot development makes me wonder if the writer of this drama has been stuck at a cabin by the beach with no internet after experiencing amnesia as it is completely detached from reality.
That said, the drama is very pretty, there are a bunch of boys in this drama that seem to be purely there to be looked at or as fillers between censured parts... they have a guitar and I am pretty sure two of them are supposed to be gay but won´t tell us because of the usual Chinese censorship.
I also learned that dessert is a completely valid form of communication... a cold male lead may not be able to use words but if a picture can say 1000 words a dessert will convey 1000 emotions....
The female lead of this drama is really sweet and cute, besides the not making any sense I find both her and the male lead decent to watch. And so are the boys but there are alos a whole lot of annoying side characters and the ususal parants without bonderies... getting on my nerves more than once.
I also like that they try to show people coping with mental illness as capable human beings worthy of love even if they made this a bit to simple and again nothing actually made much sense and this storyline was kind of detached from reality... But still I feel that it is the thought that counts.
So what can I say, this is an okay watch just do not expect anything to make sense or any type of consistency in the characters.
P.s. there is a cute kid in here (who's storyline does not make any sense either)

Nostalgia, music and fluff with a side of cringe...
This could have been a 10 if only I would have loved the male leads character as much as I loved the rest of the characters in this really fun drama.A drama that has so much good to offer combining nostalgia, with the right to communicate/language, the world sucks (yet again), people with disabilities are human too and being a kid that is different from the rest of the family has it's problem's too... all surrounded by lovely teen spirit, love, music, friendships, and shining, glittery fluff... Just the look on a the young version of them moms face when she sees someone use sign language pretty much had me thinking ok this is it, I love it and it is now my favourite drama...
As I mentioned in the first line this could have been a 10 but then the cringe took over and offered me a few of my pet peeves showed up, I cant really complain about the acting of Ryeoun as Ha Eun Gyeol but his character was mostly fun in the beginning but got on my nerves more and more as the story progressed. His interactions and chemistry with Seol In Ah and
Choi Hyun Wook where however top, top, top. I have been impressed with Choi Hyun Wook for quite a while but this drama made me appreciate him even more as well as completely fall in love with Seol In Ah and Shin Eun Soo.
Definitely a drama I recommend to most, when in need of fluff, fun and more or less predictable twists (some more predictable than others). This drama is an easy binge that offers a little bit of everything and with the exceptions of a few moments of annoying the overall feel to this drama is I want more!
P.s. Rating by episode ep 1-2: 8, 2-14:10, 15-16:7,5 = 9, pretty much follow the male leads character progression and regression... but not only.

Vanilla ice cream with lips on top
This is a drama you watch for the lack of overly annoying characters and lips of Zhao Yi Qin who are covered with an endless amount of lipgloss and ride the thin line between to many close ups and just enough close ups... As this is indeed a male lead that communicates by touch of lip instead of words or wrist grabs. To be clear he still uses a wrist grab or two, it just not his main line of communication, and neither are words of any kind.Our female lead is pretty lovable, mostly friendly forward and may she may not be the god of intelligence she is not really stupid either. She is pretty strong, talented and has very few moments of pathetic.
Both leads are however extremely child like, the female lead in the way she dresses the male lead in the way he acts. There is not much of a story but some ok friendships, a nice representation of a happily married long time couple but also a bunch of really mistreated animals.
The leads acting is decent but some of the supporting roles seem to need to get an acting lesson or ten.
It is an ok watch when in need of fluff and pretty people and things to look at but otherwise it really is kind of bland... vanilla ice cream made by some person with a hang over who dropped the whole tub of sugar in to the mix without noticing.

Love at first choke, dark, sweet and bloody oh so bloody...
This is a drama that teaches you that there really isn't anything more romantic than the words " I will shoot you if I must" Or something like that a dark chocolate teenage romance with gazes and fluff surrounded by death, blood and suicidal thoughts all woven together with psychopaths and amnesia and a love of self harm.So really what is not to love?
Well the pacing was kind of meeh, some of the side characters where just a little bit to bullyish in a bad way and slightly over the top. But the leads did a really good job with these roles coming off as both sweet and bad ass at the same time.
The grown ups are pretty decent at being complete psychopaths or kind and not much in-between... There are some really good lines here and there but also a side of cringe and some type of love will save you or make you die for someone else type of eal but nothing in-between. Sometimes this is good others not so much.
All in all a decent short binge

It is not enough to hear you, you must also use words to communicate
This was a poorly dubbed drama about a girl who just wanted to study dubbing and the 30000 obstacles she had along the way and the guy who had everything including a whole lot of red flags.The female lead in this drama has a whole lot of good lines and is indeed independent lovable yet makes really strange decisions and seems very confused by the guy she adores... The guy of course does not make life easy for her as he really hates using actual verbal words for other than correcting peoples wrongdoing. Dude does however have a one track mind and makes sure the women around him take all the responsibility for more or less everything around him.
We also have one of dramalands most lovely and frustrating side couples that out shine the leads, great friendships and idiot men and evil women. Having seen this drama around the time I saw the western movie Barbie I could not help to compare some of the men with the Kens out there (that is not a good thing).
There are some good very self aware and important lines here and there some unpredictable turns (to the bad, but lovely not to expect them). But mostly a whole lot of things that make no sense at all + a whole lot of odd double standards.
There is also a cute cat and a mom I wanted to hug but also a mom I wished bad things would happen to.
All in all the cat and the gals + nephew made this drama worthy of my time the rest are not the least bit memorable...

Fanservice, fanservice, and more fanservice...
These two episodes are pure cuteness, some predictable drama seemingly there just to make it seem as if there is a plot or story but basically this is just a whole bunch of cheese, kisses and fluff.Now I am a person who can appreciate fluff, so it still gets an 8 as I do get to see some beloved characters again... watch whatever happened next including some of my beloved bickering, gazes and what not so I am in no way complaining.
However I can not say that these two episodes where watched for a story... So if you enjoyed The Eclipse and feel like reuniting with some of the characters without having to use your mind or feel stuff go for it this will probably be a fun watch. If you are looking for substance re.watch the original story or watch something else.
P.S the kisses felt like the guys where trying to eat each others faces so no dead fish in sight... Also the OST is cute!

Deze recentie kan spoilers bevatten
Annoyed me to death and had me pondering if someone would jump off that cliff...
Yes this review is pretty much all spoilers and me b*** about this movie, so brace yourself!This is the story about the girl who got a heart transplant by peep hole surgery, and moved far, far away from any type of hospital to recover... Despite the surgery the girl seemed to experience shortness of breathe and had magic medicine to help her with that... Immune suppresents, foodlimitations and other stuff did not make the cut.
But not only did the girl receive a heart, she seems to have traded in half of her body as she pretty much got possessed by the ghost of her doner, became delusional and put her self in harms way making me wonder if this story was made by the anti organ donation lobbyist who would ultimately make her jump/fall/ be shoved off the cliff by her doner.
However she does seem to survive, and even though she basically ignores and pretty much cheats on her boyfriend with a ghost, nobody seems to care about that... like at all... preferably because anything goes if you have had surgery. The way she goes between the boys is almost fashinating. It was also pretty obvious that the boy was a ghost.
So yes I spent most of this movie cursing and thinking oh come on wtf... ?I(#€Q€OSF SDF
That said we do get to see some pretty great scenery, a really cute dachshund flashes by and we also get to see dolphins.
So if you shut of your brain and do not mind this type of story go for it the execution is not bad... as for me I bearly made it though.. .but do feel that seeing that dog and dolphin made up for some of the waisted time and annoyance this caused letting me give this a 6and not a 3 which it probably deserves...
