Log 2026 [With Notes]

(Viki)        Total Time:  1 hrs 42 min

Notes:  Liked the actors except FL2.  FL2 kissing ML & then FL forgiving her irked me.  Female leads friendship seemed toxic to me.  Plot sorta reminded me of Playful Kiss. 

Ending - ML did not move to NY w/mom.  Girls good friends again.  Final scene showed them fighting over ML for basketball & giggle at each other as they say he's mine.  

(Viki)        Total Time:  1 hrs 51 min

Notes:  The story seemed a bit too woke culture preachy w/female empowerment & accepting little boys having female type interests (dolls/dancing).  The little boy totally cute.

Ending - ML became pilot at small plane hangar.  The female pilot he became friends with still mad & has only slightly forgiven him.  

(Tubi)        Total Time:  1 hrs 43 min

Notes:  Mains didn't feel like they were a pair.  The rock climbing & parkour like moves seemed realistic.  Glad the showed how they survived the cutting of the rope while the credits rolled.  Fav scene was when FL clocked manager in the jaw angerly then turned around & was all nice to the next person.

Ending - Helicopter saved them on a crane.  

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 40 min

Notes:  Loved this version.  Loved the actors. Humor seemed subtle.  Romance not strongly emotional but felt realistic for an everyday run of the mill kind of romance.  Having heavy life burdens weighing on you a smidge of romance is more believable.  Cried whole heartedly at the end.

Ending - ML remembers the ghosts are his family that died in the car accident he was a sole survivor of.  ML & EMT together.  Final scenes showed all the pics of himself only w/his ghost family around him.

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 39 min

Notes:  CGI was pretty good,,,,reminded me a lot of "Stargate Atlantis."  ML had his shirt off ....umm?  The idea was good, but the acting wasn't. The chemistry w/the leads barely had a spark, but enjoyed looking at them because soo pretty.

Ending - ML cut off villain snakes head.  Collaboration between worlds was successful / earth got a cleaned up atmosphere.  Villain had lied about resurection power of snake blood.  All the VR game members became part of the group keeping peace between worlds.

(Amazon)        Total Time:  1 hrs 35 min

Notes:  Costumes. the warrior armor very ornate/eye catching.  CGI was impressive.  Story a bit hard to follow.  A few scenes w/warriors w/shirts off...tones & tanned goodness.

Ending-The evil king is killed, but demon fox revives him.  2 of the hostage boys killed their duke dads making them new dukes.  Main ML saved his dad & returned home.  

(Amazon)        Total Time:  1 hrs 35 min

Notes:  5 sexual pairings w/strong nudity & sex scenes.  Surprises were seen coming a mile away....FL's daughter-in law as butt cheek butterfly vixen using husband & son.  

Ending-Son kills dad & then himself.  FL & phone repair guy travel all over in sports car.

(Amazon)        Total Time:  1 hrs 43 min

Notes:  Humor mostly cute, a few funny bits, but OTP like the "3 Stooges" kind.  Subtitles were not great, just enough to get story. Loved the kung fu kid & the chubby girl who was crushing on him.  The humping brown pitbull adorable.  Loved the smoke dragon.

Ending -  Bad guy ML found a place to call home/love at the temple, so he turned into good guy. Gang boss borrowed stone to hug his daughter.  The mom found her abandoned kid at the temple.

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 33 min

Notes:  Cow as narrator.  FL character appeared to have some type of undiagnosed disorder.  FL's persona frustrated me.  It needed humor...like what happens on rainy days walking to school.  The student unskilled recorder music scene was gold.

Ending - FL doesn't finish race & quits track happy.  New BFF & her take walking trips all the time now because BFF accepted her retirement from racing due to injury.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   75 min        Total Time:   17 hrs 30 min

Notes:   ML/FL chemistry was good. ML acting very endearing & skillful especially w/the body swap.  FL acting seemed too OTP.  Both leads smiled a bit too much.  Glad no love triangle.  Enjoyed ML2's acting.  Disliked wood faced FL2 actress it made 2nd couple story arc unrelatable. Wanted to understand what ML2 saw in her.  If FL2 is going to be super gray need a more emotional/versatile actress.  Poor Me King irritated me.  Liked ML's eunuch & guard.  ML3 losing his love to the king because he was too passive turned him into a monster was only slightly compelling.   Jin Goo's acting did not match his character, off???? A lot of repetitious dialog. Fantasy imagery & scenery was nice, but killer bird story seemed odd.  White haired terrier???  Fighting scenes a bit contrived.  A few humor scenes.  The theme song by the female singer was haunting & beautiful.  Cha Eun Woo's name used for ugly guy.

--- Main couple kiss w/munchies at least 2 times.  The bed scene was sweetly sexy & showed off ML's physique subtly. 2nd couple kiss at end w/a few munchies.

Ending -  FL killed by villain & ML switches to her body.  FL's tears create a miracle reviving MLand returning each soul back to right body. Villain killed in palace as he tries to get his lover, ML2's mom back.  FL2 saved & rejects ML2.  FF 5 years.  FL/ML have son.  FL2 accepts ML2's proposal.

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   52 min        Total Time:  7 hrs 48 min

Notes:   Lee Jun Ho not the charming actor or character I was looking for.  Other mains lacked depth.  Lee Chae Min played a villain & super enjoyed that + his shirt off scene.   ML's girlfriend was not likable (controlled ML obsessively) & had zero chemistry w/ML.  Disliked all the female villains, it looked like they were acting.  Wished for less running fighting scenes w/everyone's' military bodyguards.  Fight looked fake sometimes.  CGI was pretty good.  Loved the scene where ML puffering in front of mirror & when GF said they should test out ML's superpower in the bedroom.  Son-in-law story arc abandoned oddly.

Ending - Villain kills fast girl, ML beats up male villain, time travel cop helps team, & old guy goes to prison as loan shark gets her $ back.  ML & wife get condo & she is pregnant.

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   46 min        Total Time:  6 hrs 54 min

Notes:   Slow & mostly boring.  FL's facial expressions odd.  FL had to decide between ML who is passive/meek or ML2 who showed extreme controlling behavior in the name of love, which even I found difficult.  FL not taking initiative to communicate irritated me.  Call him if you are not going to make the date, tell him in person you love him, visit him if he doesn't show up at bridge.  Mystery of who she picked left to bitter end.

--- ML2 aggressively gets intimate w/FL after he sees her w/ML.  FL kisses ML when in HS then leaves.  Felt like friendship relationship w/ML except ML getting hot/bothered looking at her butt.

Ending - FL chose her 1st love/childhood friend.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   25 min        Total Time:  2 hrs 30 min

Notes:   Kinda had F4 tone to it.  Wish the mystery of FL's story related to her best friend was executed/explained better.  Liked the triangle & felt like FL could have chosen neither guy but plot had her pair up w/brooding guy. Collab FL Japanese MLs South Korean

Ending - FL goes back to Japan & on a whim the group of friends decide to visit Japan to see her.

(Netflix)        Total Time:  2 hrs 8 min

Notes:  Dancing from actors was good but looked watered down at times. Lack of dialog so had to infer emotions & what characters were thinking which made me lost.  Loved all the Christmas lights on trees & the blue dangling lights.  Chemistry/acting impressive & each actor assigned roles that suited their personalities.  Latin dance ML mesmerized me w/his abs.  Nudity super brief/tame. Cinematography beautiful...dance hall w/ticket holder boxes my fav.

--- MLs kissing was very steamy. On train, in bedroom & after dancing together at competition.

Ending - Wasn't a fan.  ML's dance together for 8 dances by themselves then abruptly leave the dance floor during waltz with classic dance guy saying he will see the other ML at the 10 Dance competition.  Movie 2?

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 50 min

Notes:   Acting was really bad & cheesy.  Almost 100% English.  Not actors' native language so acting/emotions suffered most likely.  Collab between Thai ML & Filipino FL.  I did tear up a little.  Wasn't a fan of FL.  Beach scenes were pretty.

--- FL kisses ML1st. Unmemorable.

Ending - FL dies leaving ML to guess where she is.  FL's sister visits ML after she dies.  ML finds peace & tells FL's sister about their memories together.  

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   70 min        Total Time:  16 hrs 20 min

Notes:   Beginning really drew me in. Chemistry was really good w/leads & wanted them to be a couple IRL.  Slept thru some eps & didn't feel like rewinding.  Hyper focus on couple so no real story or plot to draw u in.  Cliches abound.  Loved ML's acting & FL down to earth pretty.  ML shirt off a time or two for eye candy.  ML2 actor too I'll wait in the wings for FL.  FL2 soo cute & passively strong willed & I loved her gumption at following ML2, they make sense as a couple based on their personalities.    Villains did not feel impactful.  ML's comedy & leads fighting banter was very good.  Needed more comedy jealousy scenes & more emphasis on struggle of liking married woman.  FL never felt married...director choice?  Cinematography seemed amateurish or off sometimes.

--- Many kisses.  Beginning kisses had heat & munchies....a bit more ML than FL.  FL kisses ML1st.

Ending - ML hit by car & suffers amnesia.  1 yr later FL meets ML @ original hotel & ML gets his memories back.  More yrs later ML2 staring at FL's photo @ his photo expo.  FL2 still chasing him to be her boyfriend.  ML's mom gets company back & gives FL her own company.  All the bad guys in jail.  ML & FL marry & have 2 kids (1 boy 1 girl).  Final scenes all cast members dancing in the groups they were in.
