this reminds me of a US show lovelife(?), both basically follow the love life of the main lead and the lessons/events revolving around a normal person's choices.the 1st guy was kinda the "dream" guy, they met by chance/fate, he was sweet and simple but for young aya he was too grounding and unfit for her luxuries life dreams. (and at the end she regrets it, but on the other hand he really did want the simple lifestyle, which was only her dream after people pressured her, so if they stayed together they'd have probably fought alot and hated each other)
the 2nd guy was exactly what she wanted but HE was too "ambitious" for HER, so he left her
the 3rd guy was the guy she needed to fulfill her luxury living lifestyle until it felt empty
the 4th guy was the result of people's expectations and their definition of a woman's happiness "of a 30+ year old woman to get married and have kids" and it was too much of a burden
the 5th guy was a boost for her ego, a 40 year old divorcee was still "wanted" by someone but he was too young and free spirited so he left her for money
and the 6th guy was her "the one" who actually turned out to be her long time friend! (I'm sorry I'm bad with faces) but he was really a great not unexpected match for her. he was intuitive and since he had a lot of platonic girl friends he was the ideal modern guy for the independent 21st century career woman, he understood their worries and goals ;D
sadly this was too short, and it took me a while to get used to the characters talking to the camera, and (a shallow part of me shall say) the guys were unattractive, but it was a really sweet underrated unexpected gem❤
I never rewatch stuff but I want another drama like this ;(

it was just a love diamond + a million subplots
I'll start with the good points;+ Xie Xiang was a great female lead, one of the best, she was smart, cool, caring, independent and strong
+ Gu Yan Zhen was playful and a playboy but a total sweetheart, I mean he literally fell for her in the first few eps
+ the cross dressing was done well
+ Xie Xiang and Xiao Jun's sismance was adorable
+ Man Ting and Yan Zhen also had great friendship
+ the friendship between Huang Song and both Yan Zhen and Xie Xiang was sweet, the whole gang were a great team
+ the outfits and filmography was beautiful
+ those 2eps Xie Xiang saved herself/others (plus the ending)
+ the chemistry between Xie Xiang and Yan Zhen was off the charts~
now the things I hated
- the million of subplots! every other ep had a new unrelated story, I was losing my mind
- in the early eps Xie Xiang always had to be saved (though granted they were being realistic since she was physically weak and tiny)
- they literally wasted the romance ;/ I would've gotten it if they didn't want romance to be the focus, but they literally spent 40eps developing a main lead x 2nd lead love line ;/
- they ruined Man Ting and Yan Zhen's pure sibling like relationship when they added a sad pathetic 1 sided love..
- they made me really angry when even Huang Song fell for "the sister" and she literally went out with him as a girl and never tried to turn him down (and I wished she'd told him everything from the start and stayed as pure friends)
- the 2nd lead was slightly obsessive. he changed Xie Xiang's room without asking and he'd tell her "I won't take no for an answer" as if he owned her ;/
- they spent more time on the side characters than on the main, heck the evil girl had more screentime
- the evil girl felt unrealistic, she was young and weak, there's no way the bad guys would've given her that much authority
- Huang Song's death was unnecessary. he should've died with a bullet to the head or they shouldn't have left him to get shot 5 times
- the forgetful girl. agh I hated her the most..
- there was no consistency, it felt like the writer had 1 plot move "girl cross dresses and goes to a military school" and then she just added whatever that came to her.
- the romance took 40eps and 2seconds for them to confess and then it ended with them "walking" along towards the sunset... that was it. after such a long chase and misunderstandings, that was it......
- I was ready to give this a 10, but I didn't know it'd be that messy and draggy. I'll never watch another cdrama,
- the ahahahahahah ost drove me crazy!
I wish someone just made a cut of the 2 main leads, especially when they were together, that'd have saved me 30eps ;D

if I had to choose 3 dramas that can kinda reflect on my drama preferences, then this drama would be num1. it has everything I look enjoy in any type of show;
1- strong independent smart yet soft and awkward female lead
2- clean cut cold dark traumatized male lead that is naive and clueless
3- a beautiful elegant smart fashionable business woman
4- a brutal messy killer with a sad life/story
5- a ragged disheveled playboy that loves "beauty" and hates hard work
and many many more layered and interesting side characters all intertwined in a beautiful story about protecting a country.
if I were to describe the guys' reaction to Ae Sin's life choices I'd say;
Hui Seong wanted to be a shadow Ae Sin could hide in
Dong Mae wanted to tie her down/stop her from doing anything that put her in harms way
and Eugene wanted to walk by her side.
I'm currently rewatching it so I'll fix this review later ;p

the good:
+ the teammance (this is what I always want, a big unique team)
+++ Kim Nam Gil
++ the comedy sense
+ Park Kyung Sun (I'd have preferred it if she joined the team faster, but I like the freshness of her, she's like a girl vr of siwon?)
+ hip hop girl and her normal non obsessive crush (I kinda shipped her with Ssongsag)
+ the action scenes
+ the costumes xD
things I didn't like:
- the story
- the small plots
- the pace (things started really moving by the 2nd half, especially after ep14)
- the bad guys (I really couldn't careless about them they were slightly too weak)
- the bad guys screentime was a waste of time ;)
ps. my rewatch value is either a 1 or a 10

Drama Stage Season 3: Big Data Romance
3 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
this is yet another "fake dating", "misunderstanding", "lying", "woman hurt by cheating ex", "guy that can't forget his cold obsessive selfish ex", "cold germophobic perfectionist falling in love with the sloppy innocent crybaby woman he never would've otherwise", "dramatic turning/saving a woman", "open eye fish kiss" if not just "awkward kisses" and well the most recent "using an app to find love/the perfect match"...
honestly, I can stand somin on running man, but I'll never watch her acting if it weren't for song jae rim xD she literally keeps repeating her roles.. and it's of course the self pitying naive type which I hate.. I mean, if a woman grabs the hands of the guy you were just on a date with, you should just say "you cheating b*******" and you should totally not play along with the obviously crazy woman with her crazy eyes, and like honestly, the guy should just say, "that woman is crazy" like there's no reason for misunderstanding or dragging it out...
and like if your crazy cheating ex comes back, threaten to call the cops on him and do what hani did in xx. you don't need the main guy to be the one that has the last word in...
basically boring drama, boring plot, and song jae rim deserves better...

I never watch "daily" dramas, so I don't have much to compare, but this is the only (maybe best) family drama I'll ever watch... their bonds and yuri were the only reasons I watched this...it's funny that even-though I never watched this type of dramas, everything in this is a big cliche..
- mean rich naggy mother in law? check
- mean rich dad and the runaway son? check
- misunderstandings? triple check
- birth secrets? check
- fake incest? long check that it got super awkward
- fake identity? check
- secrets? a million check
- useless uncle and his side family? check
- bad blood between the in laws? check
- jobless older brother that's studying? check
- bullied younger sister? check
- shallow maknae sister? check
- sickness?
there's more, I mean this is a 50+ drama ;)
Mi Yeong and Joong Hee were the cheap "star crossed lovers", the "we can't even admit our feelings for blah blah reasons"... I can't believe it took them 40 eps to reveal that.. and then everyone was ok with it as if it never happened, ie a cheap move to keep them apart and cause conflict.. they were cute enough, that move was unnecessary...
my rewatch values are either a 1 or 10...

I kinda got attached to this and the characters... the plot was badly executed, mainly eps 7-11 were useless... and the last 3 eps still had their draggy parts, but I liked that dark twist?
and it had a fitting ending, almost perfect for the story.. though I'd have done some things differently, but I liked that ending scene, it pulled at my heartstrings.. mostly the "evil" soul should've been a dark characterless thing? because non of the possessed people acted like the originals ;)
ps, I don't usually rewatch dramas, so my rewatch values are either 1 or 10 ;)

Passed trash and went to garbage... besides the age, each ep revealed yet another crazy ridiculous plot line and each step there were more messy connectionsBut worse of all was the last ep.. the 1st part it was the rushed out final step of the revenge scheme with horrible jumping edits, the 2nd part was the boring romance/ sad ever after, then came the 3rd part with more crazy wrap ups but again it even got worse in the 4th part and the sudden focus on mls revenge
2fl didn't kill that guy but it was the 3rd bullied... the husband murdered 2ml.... yeah I like revenge but I don't support everyone being a psychopath and ending the drama with cheesy I love yous?
The worst part for me was ml knowing everything... like yeah we have this smart fl scheming revenge but nope ml knew everything and led her to believe she was in charge and he always wanted to support her... thanks for making another guy saves the day?

Repetitive storyline but heartwarming results
Everyone needs love, family, and happiness but not everyone is blessed with it. What makes a family? It's the bond, the understanding and the purity of the heartThis was beautiful and exactly my style, It's a simple linear story, but I could easily give up romance dramas just to get stories like this T_T
Beautiful unexpected friendship that lead to famimance is my FAVORITE
I smiled, I teared up and I CRIED at the end TT_TT
The roommate program should be a real thing, ppl that are left behind by their families and ppl that are abandoned by their families untie to find pure love and bonding is the most beautiful form of loveT_T
ML was such a precious pure baby I'd actually love a romance based on his character, I feel like he was the 2nd lead of his own crush xD
Halmae and her ending were so sweet and sad, she put a wall on her heart but she never threw rocks at ppl. I mean like she only put a distance for her own protection but it didn't stop her from being kind ;(

the movie starts in a random small village, they don't have any roads connecting them to the next town or souel and only had a railroad that reached them through a bridgeit then starts showing us the life of a lazy highschooler that starts taking private lessons from the prettiest girl in class, and I thought it'd be an old school type of, school romance like 2521 so it was a bit boring (the movie not 2521)
but then the real twist happens. I was a bit confused mainly cuz of Park Jung Min, the 35 year old failing to look 18, he's a good actor, but to cast him after showing the tiny Kim Kang Hoon, who can easily be his son, made it hard to understand for a minute xD then after noticing the sister that didn't age I thought this was a scam movie.. then after the kid vr was brought back, as flashbacks, I started wondering if they were 2 different people with 2 similar looking sisters
now I do admit I didn't pay much attention in the 1st half for those reasons. it felt messy and cheap
until the twist happened... and they showed the both vrs pictures. with a missing SISTER! and it hit me. she died and that was when the waterfalls started till the last minute of the movie T_T
the events of the past. the acting of Lee Sung Min, the reasons and action of those actors, it was all so devastating..
the 2nd half was honestly pure emotinal gold. it was shocking, yet full of hope, redemption, bonding, understanding and heartwarming sweetness
I thought Tae Yoon was a tough love type of dad, but he was so vulnerable, so fragile, so soft.. again casting the 35 year old one thinks he left his son for years but it was around 10 years, tho again a bit much, but he held on to so much self loath he couldn't look at his son again
the moment he got angry at the paper cuz he didn't want his son to be hurt. the moment he forced him to go to souel, their trip, his pure joy over his results (my favorite scene T_T), Jung Jun Kyung confessing that he went to the beach to stop his dad from suicide, junkyung and Bo Kyung "hugging" their dad T_T, their farewell, and in the end the most hilarious ending that just made this little movie even more preciousT_T

it was just misunderstanding, miscommunication, mistreating the kids, horrible adults that raised them wrong, blamed them and hurt them then hid it
the mystery was meh, the resolution was meh, the way everyone was involved was meh, the way they brought back the stalker again was meh
it started out great, new meeting, dark comedy, the link taking away the awkward "can I talk to that person" stage every drama hates, so instead of enemies to lovers which is the easy answer to keep 2 ppl remeeting, their link made them get to know each other slowly
I was still on board with the past connection and healing, I was ok with the mystery not even being a focus, I was not ok when they reopened their 2nd case, I was over it when they started the sob story of "should we breakup" and I was done by ep15 when they finally went to solve their big mystery. and ep16 was the worst in dragging it out even more
tho I liked two scenes of the ending, the mom and grandma bus scene, and the 2 cops with the cop car xD I also liked the ost with the kid's voice, tho I hated the overly over happy ending
jingoo is as always amazing, the mom and grandma were the highlight, the hot cops were a new discovery

The FL was amazing, the ml cute enough though I hated his and kwangsoos type castingSehun had so little scenes. Though I could proudly tell my mom that's our baby.
I don't like the other fl as an actress and I was meh about it but in the end it was cute especially sehunie's character being the cold chic dude softening up with her
The penguins were THE BEST. When the little dude slapped kwangsoo? Comedy GOLD❣
there were a couple of great Comedy scenes like when ML told kwangsoo to grab his neck amd kwangsoo strangled him?????
Tbh the graphics were cheap looking. Like pirates of the Caribbeans look better.. it just felt like they were on sets and in one scene the filter for the sky made a weird circle around fls head..

this is not my type of story though the "inspired by real events" always gets me. though the movie was not boring during the 2 hours, I still wished for a little more touching moments, and maybe angst but not devastation
like they could've bonded more during the night, they could've cooked together, the kids could've played together, the adults could've talked about books or music, something that gave the parting a more bitter feeling
I've actually seen a few movies like this, and I'm actually glad there was no sudden hidden evil because no matter what, there was too much evil there ;(
though I knew someone was bound to die, no wonder I liked Koo Kyo Hwan, he's the D.P cutie! that makes it sadder ;(
behind every conflict, behind every war, there's normal people who want normal things but they're in situations they can't control ;(
sad, heartbreaking, violent, scary, devastating and yet heartwarming and hopeful TT_TT

a sweet twist in a cliche story
I loved their time traveling concept, I don't think anyone did it before, they either travel and become their future/past or they act like different people. but this was a sweet story about self love, forgiveness and dealing with loss, whether it's a family member or a dreamthe romance started off as promising but the moment he changed cuz he knew "they met as kids" just ruined it, it took away any chance of development and just jumped into the last stages of "love", honestly even when they stood by each other I never saw them as anything more than sweet friends so I wasn't happy with the abrupt ending
Anthony was useless from start to end, he was such a waste of time, he starts off as a selfish jerk and suddenly he's thrown under a buss by using the current event of "celebrity bullying" and they ended it by ruining his career, making him retire then give up all of his money and opening a restaurant... that's not the answer. he was never in it for the acting so that fact alone makes his arc useless, that whole thing about him "finding" his passion for acting and chasing the writer for his role, all of it was gone
you can't just end it with that. his problem wasn't his past, he was a tiny looser bully that was beaten up by a girl, he was no threat, but worse he grew up and he always disrespected his staff and yet that all just disappeared and then they made the manager just like him. that sort of treatment to the staff is as bad as bullying ;/
anyway, even though KYK was a sweetie, the only good points were the hani's story and the OST.

Girls' Highschool Mystery Class

this took a while to get to the real core of the mystery, I think it was around ep7 when suddenly it picked up and from that point I couldn't miss a single moment that I binged this in 2 dayssince the mystery revolved around one big plot as apposed to both The Great Escape and Busted, they had too much empty time where they sat around and talked again and again about their clues and I think that was boring. they did 1 puzzle then talked about it for half an hour
but after the murder happened more and more tension and excitement happened
though to be honest, I'm way better than them xD kim ssam was obviously evil while poor dokgo ssam seemed nice (and totally forgotten! did he die?), and they took too much with some of the clues, like the sleeping gas thing, as soon as I saw the bottles even before knowing the ending I wanted to say "take that with you!", there was a scene like that in TGE and they actually planned ahead, but since most of these ladies never experimented "escape room" variety show (beside Park Ji Yoon, I've missed Crime Scene TT_TT)
and the whole flip switch as well, they just needed to tell jae jae the 8 sets and the 3 outside could've dealt with it by crossing out the ones that didn't match, visuals are easier than listening
they also need to separate them more often, there seemed to be obvious power struggle, bibi and yena felt left out (either the others wouldn't let them or they'd think they're not good enough), but both did pretty well on their own
Park Ji Yoon had more experiment so she tried to go the comedic side more, Jang Do Yeon as well is full on easy going she was ok with being smart or not
though I do wish they'd not use such hightones just to sound younger, we all know they're not teens and that's the funny part, they strained their vocals too much
otherwise Jung Jong Yeon never disappoints and it's always nice to see female centered plots
