Sweet and fluffy
May 11, 2023The Love You Give Me just hits the spot for 2023 fluffy Chinese Rom-com drama. I have dropped so many Cdramas and only this one I have kept up with. Just because it’s so good, I love this troupe so much.
The lovers to strangers to coparenting to lovers again. It's so good, I think for this specific troupe, The Love You Give Me, might be my favourite one along with Begin Again.
The main couple, Min Hui and Xin Qi, their chemistry is fantastic. From what I saw from other watchers, this is apparently their 3rd or 4th Cdrama that they were in as a couple. And since I am in such a big rabbit hole with them right now, I think I will be watching their previous works as well.
QuanQuan is so cute, he is like the cutest child. I really love how he was able to give such interesting flavour to the plot and the drama. His side commentaries are hilarious and it is sometimes a representation of what the viewers might say between the petty fights or misunderstanding of Min Hui and Xin Qi. "Adults always tell us to say the truth, but they can't do it themselves." I think this is how the line goes or something. Anyway, it is not exactly this, but when QuanQuan said this in that one episode. It is very factual. I love him so much.
As for the other leads as well, they are so cute and lovely. Some scenes were a bit too much for me, so I had to skip... Moving on, the ending was just right. Like obviously the generic ending was given, but for some reason, I really love it.
Anyhow, I wish you all can give Love You Give Me a chance! Just like how Min Hui gave Xin Qi a chance.

Love doesn’t conquer everything in this world and that's okay
April 3, 20222521 is a tear-jerker full of life-lessons K-drama. I know people have been disagreeing and disappointed with how the ending went. But I think, the 2521 ending fulfills the original story that they were trying to convey. The emotional attachment I developed to this drama is unbelievable. I love everything from how the characters develop and seeing how they flourish into their adulthood. Maybe it’s because I am now a college student and that is why I greatly relate to this drama. Yes, it is true that we took high school life too easily and for granted. Yes, it is harder to meet up with friends now that we are old. Yes, people grow apart and that's okay. Yes, it is okay even if you don't meet your friends often. As long as you have each other, you will always find time even if that means every 6 months or so.
!!! MAJOR SPOILERS WITH DETAILS!!!!
- I am happy that Baek Yijin did not die or experienced some catastrophic event.
- I am happy how the girls are still supporting each other even though they have their own lives.
I think I am happy that everyone got the ending that they deserve including Yurim and Heedo's mom. I also think it is appropriate how Minchae's dad is never revealed nor is present-pandemic adult Yijin. I know I may be the minority but I think everything from this drama is just good. I may have bawled my eyes and wished for Heedo and Yijin to be the end game. But given the circumstances of how their relationship has gone down, it is much better for them to go their separate ways. Very realistic and has a bittersweet ending. I also think that Yijin and Heedo's endings is happy to some extent. Yijin is able to revive his family back and has a stable job. Heedo is happily a mom to Minchae, though I can't really say anything about her marriage to his husband as he was not shown in the story. This makes sense because this is about first love and their early adulthood/youth days.
I think 2521 set the standards for 2022 Kdramas. I know the ratings have gone down due to the ending and I understand that people are very frustrated with the ending. But I definitely think it is not rushed, and that it perfectly fits the overall narrative of the story.
So for those who are watching 2521, I hope you learn some lessons and learn to enjoy your youth. Happy viewing (maybe) and prepare some tissues by your side. I may or may not have a breakdown watching episode 16 and while writing this review...
Cheers 🥂

Fluffy and cute in all the best way
Nov. 7, 2023Kimi Ni Wa Todokanai has definitely stolen my heart as one of my favourite Japanese BL series for 2023. The way this high school BL was able to captivate my heart through the amazing chemistry of our leads. I love how everything rolled along with the pacing of the plot. I've seen others mention how generic the plot is, and I do acknowledge that. But the way everything was delivered just made this show so amazing to watch.
I feel the butterflies in each episodes and I did feel the anger about the shyness of the leads when it comes to communication. But this is a high school setting BL, of course they will have that. When I was their age, I was like that too. Even now at college, I still feel that shyness in comes to saying my true feelings.
Personally for me, I never found any part of the show boring. Each week I waited for the episodes, it all felt worth it to me.
Honestly part of me also wished that I had this kind of fluffy romance when I was in high school. That sweet diabetic type of love...
Please give this show lots of love. Because amongst the other Japanese BLs I have watched this year. This one sticked out to me the most and became my favourite. Others I have dropped or finished but felt like a chore to do.
To many more of this kind of fluffy BLs to finish by the end of this year. Cheers!

time travel done right
Sept. 12, 2021Blue Birthday took time travelling to another level. I must say that for a web drama, the plot is fantastic but in terms of Kdrama standards, it is quite decent. and above-average There are some plot holes that might make viewers go WTF or maybe some will not notice it at all. In terms of acting, I think Yeri and Hongseok did justice to their characters. Obviously, I hate those kissing scenes with fish-eyed out type beat but it is what it is...
First of all, I just want to say that Hongseok is so damn fine. Like I knew him a long time ago from Pentagon but he really snapped so hard on this drama and in Move To Heaven!! As for Yeri, I really think that she will develop further into a better actress. I think that she just needs to work on her facial expressions more and she will definitely be on top of her game.
As for the plot, damn every episode I was always up for the suspense since it was really hard to figure out who is the killer. I am happy that they made it more suspenseful and it really made me interested to watch the later episodes. I barely skipped through and thank god the ending was not sad. I was about to fight the directors and writers of this drama. I will not allow sad endings in this household!! Also, this is one of the few dramas that did time-travelling plots that is good. Like even with plot holes, it did not bother me as much as other dramas. Maybe it's the budget but I did not mind the camera angles or lighting.
I hope y'all give this web drama a chance. It is definitely on top of its game. With all its flaws, I must say this cements itself as one of the best web dramas to ever exist in Korea. Give it lots of love ❤️

ONE OF THE BEST THAI DRAMAS THAT I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR
April 7, 2021This drama is well written!! Phenomenal and fantastic is what to describe this drama. The plot will touch the viewers along with the scenery. When I first saw the trailer, it reminded me of Descendants of the Sun especially since it is very similar in terms of the setting. A "remote" area with military and missionaries.
The two male leads' chemistry is undeniably off the charts. I am so happy that there was no unnecessary draggy drama between them. The writers literally gave me diabetes in the last episode cause it is so sweet and steamy. Especially the scene where the other guy knocked on their house since "it was shaking". HEHEHEHEHEHE
Also, I am so happy that there is no super loud background music. I really hate that especially in other dramas, it is such a big turn-off for me when I am watching. So I am happy that this Thai drama did not follow that route.

A girl's manifestation came to life
July 30, 2023Hidden Love is definitely one of the best released rom-com Chinese drama of the year. The story of Sang Zhi and Jia Xu is so fluffy and cute.
As a a rom-com Chinese drama, I was expecting petty and stupid arguments when the leads get together. But they are so mature to the point where all the little misunderstandings are resolved right away. They have such a healthy communication with each other. I am in awe with how much I am jealous of what they have.
Sang Zhi and Jia Xu's chemistry is just off the chart. It is amazing to think how much the actors can deliver into their character role. I understand the hype that Hidden Love received. They truly deserve it.
All the other side characters are just chef's kiss as well. They brought things to the plot and I didn't see anyone being a waste of time. I never skipped scenes either which is quite rare nowadays. As there are so many dramas putting up filler scenes and sub plots which sole purpose is for them to fill their timeslot and drag the show longer.
As someone who have watched Cdramas for a quite a long time now. I will put Hidden Love with the other "S"-tier fluffy rom-com Cdramas imo like "Put your head on my shoulders". "Perfect. & Casual", "Falling into your smile", and "When we were young".
If you are a sucker for rom-com who hates misunderstanding please give this show the love that it deserves!

The ending felt weird even though it was concluded well
Jan 6, 2024WAW, this is the first kdrama that I have finished for the new year of 2024. I really liked keeping up with this series and I didn't even realize that today would be the last episode. I feel like the story was good. It was captivating, enchanting. And I guess even though, the ending is loved by others and that it seemed complete.
I just feel like it went kinda flat for me to say the least. I guess this is the happy ending that everyone wanted. But I never realized how bad it has ended for the Joseon Tae Ha. He is literally the second male lead with a painful ending to say the least. I guess maybe I feel a lot of pity for how his story ended. But I guess that is the sacrifice that is needed so that our leads can have that happy ending that they deserve.
On a more positive note, the casts were amazing. I loved every single bits of the "villains", side couples, and our leads. The mixture of comedy, romance, and fantasy were pretty well done. I do feel like 13/14 episodes would have been better to explain certain chunks of the plots. As some felt, really fast-paced that, it almost felt like the story was jumping in a jagged way.
Cheers 🍻

Binged in a day
Dec. 22, 2021OML Kieta Hatsukoi is that Japanese bl drama that is the perfect cherry on top to end the year 2021. I love this drama at all, very refreshing vibes and so cute and lovely. Not gonna lie, I've been so sick of BLs that showcase SAs, aggression, and other traits that I find disgusting at all. So this drama really made me happy. Both leads are so lovely, supporting characters are lovable as well. No stupid female character who will try to destroy the main ship. I really love how Aoki and Ida's relationship bloomed. Sure this drama is more on the slower type of development. BUT IT GIVES ME BUTTERFLIES, those subtle eye contact and the little things that they do to each other make me so jealous of what they have. I really can't wait to experience something like this, or maybe I am being a delulu right now LMFAOOO. Also, I LOVED OUR SECOND LEAD COUPLE AS WELL, like holy crap. They are both so lovely and I am so happy that they sailed as well. I really love this drama, I think my eyes just can't see the mistakes here. The plot is done well, the music and acting is good. I'm definitely going to put this in my comfort dramas as I really cherished this day. I can't believe I watched this drama in just one seating.
ALSO, I JUST WANNA EMPHASIZE THE CHEMISTRY OF AOKI AND IDA AGAIN JUST BECAUSE IT IS OFF THE ROOF. I CAN'T, THIS TYPE OF CHEMISTRY IS SO HARD TO FIND SINCE IT WAS PORTRAYED IN A PURE AND INNOCENT MANNER. LIKE I FKING LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I WISH MORE DRAMAS CAN DO THIS APPROACH CUZ SOME JUST MAKE THE LEADS FK AND CALL THAT THEIR CHEMISTRY 💀
Make sure yall watch this drama!!! SOOO GOOD I LOVED EVERY BIT OF EACH EPISODE. NO SKIPS AT ALL SINCE I NEVER GOT BORED!!!!

The best video-game Chinese drama released this year!!
July 28, 2021Oh my god. This is the only video game Cdrama that I finished watching and loved at the same time. This definitely beats the other drama in terms of keeping the plot progressive and not falling into those cliches troupes that Cdramas often use.
First of all, I just wanna say how much I love this drama for not having that stupid unnecessary mid-plot break-up arcs. I also love how Smiling is such a lovable female lead. She's Independent and she ain't like those other clingy and whiney female leads. Also, I just admire how she never retorted to breaking up with Chessman but rather talking to him when they go through a misunderstanding or a problem. Second, Chessman or Si Cheng, man where to find him. He definitely executed the cold tsundere type of character without being an asshole to the female lead. Even though he was cold at first, he never did anything that I find borderline abusing or just plain rude. Also, I just love his protective and jealous side like OMG. He's also such a big flirt too like boi calm down or else 😉. AND DAMN THOSE KISSES ARE SO GOOD. LIKE IT'S NOT THE STUPID FISH-EYED KISS. IT'S AN ACTUAL KISS LIKE THEY REALLY ATE EACH OTHER. THOSE TWO LEADS ARE SUCH GOOD KISSERS. 🥵
As for their teammate and their main crew, they are all good as well. No stupid love triangle troupe where my heart aches for the second lead. Furthermore, I want a man like K. He is so fine, a bit cold, but his personality just captures me. Every time he is on-screen my eyes just always become fixated on him. As for Fatty, I feel like he has seen everything that this couple did, and honestly if I was him I would probably think the same way. Fatty always catches those two in the most awkward positions and situations that if not given the right context, you would be like omg wtff...
Oh and to be honest, I am so happy that people here got the consequences that they deserved like Smiling's ex and her stupid hater. AHAHAH I don't feel remorse for her hater especially. Thank god, they showed how so many people have such a negative opinion of gamers. Like we are in the 21st-century folks, our world is progressive. There are always new careers that will suddenly appear. I hope more people become open-minded.
Whoa that was a long review, BUT I HOPE YOU WATCH THIS DRAMA. IT'S SO GOOD. NO BORING PART AND ALL EPISODES ARE WORTH FROM EVERY MINUTE THAT THEY PUT. BTW, what were they hinting at at the end?? Please let it be a second season. I really want another season for them.

It was a cute drama
April 14, 2023Unintentional Love Story was one of the few on-going bls that I have watched as it has captured my essence starting right at the plot.
I definitely enjoyed waiting each week for episodes to come, however, I must say, the latter half of the series was underwhelming especially right at episode 7 or midway in episode 8.
I do not know if it was from the casts or how the directors executed the scenes and all. But it was not hitting for me. It fell like the interest of the drama just slowly disappeared as we reach for the finale.
Although, I must say, I really loved and found the second lead couple more interesting. That is just my personal opinion. But yea, this is definitely a pretty fluffy show to watch.

The Glory of Song Hye Kyo
March 10, 2023WHOA what a fantastic ending for this series. Imma give a point form review cause I already said so much in the S1.
Waited so long for season 2 and I binged it in a day.
No heroic ending. Im living for the morally gray character for revenge. No stupid plot twist for our FL>>>
FL and ML were such a great duo. Though, the minimal romance was okay for me. I wish we had more but I get it since it is not the main plot of this story.
Fulfilling and satisfying. PLOT IS FUCKING FANTASTIC. Not a single bully was spared. LETS FUCKING GO.
Greatly recommend. 10/10

Fluff, lots of it
June 19, 2022Waw, I can't believe Shooting Stars, I genuinely love this show as it helped me get over my Kdrama slump. This show is direct and straight to the point. There is no stupid mid-break up and honestly I love the boundaries and relationships of each character. The romance was off the charts, and every existing subplot was exciting and unskippable. Especially, the two bickering actor and actress' subplots, I've been always looking forward to their scenes and also the reporter and lawyer’s ones too. And, I feel like I have experienced so much fluff within the show that it just helps me sleep at night. I will miss this show so much, can I please find a man like him?
Sidenote: I just realized there’s something about the name Tae Sung... it’s like this name just attracts me or pulls me ... Hmmm... 🤔 ifykyk

A pretty decent BL for the Thai industry!
May 14, 2021Lovely Writer is definitely a strong drama. Although, I did have some troubles with the plot and the execution. It was still a good series regardless. First of all, I JUST LOVE HOW THEY EXPLORE CONSENT AND THREW SHADES to the industry. With the number of shows I have watched, consent is so rare to see and it's so sad. Often the ML is always pushing themselves to their partners and that makes me want to drop a series.
I really love Gene and Nubsib's chemistry and they were hot. Like certain scenes got me running laps. I was a bit uncomfortable with the age gap during their childhood scene. But yeah, I guess it was just me...
Anyway, there are certain parts where I was shocked. Like damn, the plot twist was very shocking.
Now onto my rant:
If I am being honest, the plot was a bit messy and draggy and predictable. I really love the idea and concept but I think the execution was just a literal pain. AND as for a show, I thought that was gonna break the BL stereotype, I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED that they followed the typical route for episode 11. As for the music, I was a bit irritated cause some of the choices did not fit in with the scene. It was more of a nuisance if you know what I mean. Also, how can the series turn into the very thing it was calling out in the beginning. Like the first half was about calling out the BL industry and then suddenly in the second part, it starts following the cliche plots???!!!!!
Also, WTF WAS EP 10-12 I LITERALLY SKIMMED THROUGH IT CAUSE I WAS BORED AS HELL. THOSE EPISODES WERE A LITERAL 5/10. HONESTLY, IT COULD HAVE ENDED ON THE FIRST HALF OF EP 9 AND I WOULD BE TOTALLY OKAY WITH IT.
ALSO YALL WILL LOVE TIFFY AND TUM. Their sidestory was so cute and they were my motivation to continue the series. Even though they had least amount of screen time. I love them so much. If it weren’t for them, I would probably dropped this series at this point. Cause I was just literally dissatisfied with everything....
Anyway, make sure to watch this series as it's still pretty darn good!! I hope my rant didn't ruin it for you heheheh

Not a single second I felt bored
Jan. 8, 2023Alchemy of Souls 2 is one of the best decisions I have ever made to watch. It is the superior, S fking tier Kdrama. This series really raised the standard right away for the year of 2023. We really are setting the bar up high.
Major shoutout to the Hong Sisters for writing this epic masterpiece. They really ate up their works back to back to back.
Although this season was only 10 episodes long. I felt that they were able to conclude everything in such an amazing way. The pacing is just right and I never felt boredom or a waste of time. Alchemy of Souls hold such a special place in my heart that I will definitely be watching it over and over, again and again.
Jang-Uk, you are the best husband I could ever ask for. Like I am so tired of Jang-Uk slander for this season cause this man's delivered and slaughtered everyone (like literally) for his beautiful wife. As for Buyeon/Naksu, I do wish, she had more scenes showing her divine powers and her strength. But you know what, it is okay. The wedding was a little sad cause it was only with the celibacy guy (I forgot his name)... but they the ending was so satisfying.
My emotions was so high, I was ready to cry and I cried. I cried so damn motherfucking hard. I really thought... I really thought... so the relief that I had after finishing the series definitely compensated for my palpitating heart.
ALCHEMY OF SOULS, YOU WILL BE MISSED I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM SAYING GOODBYE. IT'S BEEN A JOURNEY FROM MUDEOK TO BUYEON/NAKSU & JANG-UK. MY LOVES I WILL MISS YALL SO MUCH. UNTIL I REWATCH THIS AGAIN...
So what are yalls waiting for. GO WATCH ALCHEMY OF SOULS BOTH SEASONS NOW 😤

With new perception comes great tears TLDR A FUKCING MASTERPIECE
May 16, 2021HOLY FUCKING HELL, I JUST BAWLED THE FUCK OUT OF MY EYES. This show is A FUCKING MASTERPIECE AND WHEN I SAY A MASTER FUCKING PIECE. A LITERAL MASTERPIECE. This show is an eye-opener for people. The plot is well written, every episode you see new stories being told. And you can help but wonder, what new life lesson will I learn? I am so sad to say goodbye to the series, where I finally learned what it feels like to appreciate the little things in my life.
Geuru's Uncle, first of all, I just wanna say that he had the greatest character development out of all the kdramas that I have watched this year. I feel the ounce of betrayal and angst that he felt. I feel pity for the things that he lost and you can say that if he never met Geuru, he would probably living this lifestyle right now.
Nummo (is that how you spell it??) aka Geuru's neighbor friend, I just wanna say thank you to her. She is the greatest friend ever, I love everything that she does and does for Geuru and how her friendship evolved with Geuru's Uncle.
As for Geuru, THE ACTOR THAT PLAYED HIM IS SO TALENTED. I AM SEEING A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR THIS BOY. I DEFINITELY THINK THAT HE WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. I will definitely miss Geuru's personality. He may be timid and only speak when he feels like he needs to. But I fucking love this kid, I will take a bullet for him to be honest.
I HOPE YOU ALL WILL WATCH AND LOVE THIS SERIES. IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT YOU WON'T EVER REGRET TO WATCH AND SURELY SOMETHING THAT WILL YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER. I HOPE YOU LEARN SOME LIFE LESSONS AS WELL AS YOU PROGRESS THROUGH THE SERIES. BEST WISHES!!
