Log 2026 [With Notes]

(Netflix)        Total Time:   1 hrs 48 Min

Notes:   ML's acting seemed better than I remember.  He did seem less masculine than I remember.  ML actor appeared much older than rest of school cast to me.   ML comes to school in pink skirt, white shirt & pink hair bow...Ohmage to "Kill me, Heal me"? Loved the matching rocket sweatshirts at meet up at end.  Loved the note "The chances of meeting out of 8 billion people is .00487."  FL dumping ML right before college after promising they would go together made no sense.  Was it because his grades/score opened up a better school choice & FL made the choice for him? FL seemed jealous/pouty.

--- No kissing (Liked it w/out)

Ending:  The split before going to college.  FL finds letter in B-day card that melts her heart so she reaches out to ML to meet at rocket launch site.  FL confesses her love, they reunite. Twist revealed....FL had love @ 1st sight w/ML...(ML gets item off high store shelf for FL as he walks by) & basically orchestrated them getting to know each other (telling teacher about peer tutoring)

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   70 min        Total Time:   14 hrs

Notes:   Loved Kim Ki Doo...he was funny.  All the workplace team members a waste of screen time.  ML's sister-in-law too OTP/unbelievable/cringe & the actress's acting too.  Too much yelling/screaming in whole drama.  Did not like actors at first but ML & FL grew on me a bit by end.  

--- Main couple kiss approx 5 times. Mouths largely covering each others w/ 2 gentle munchies.  Bed scene sort of steamy. Chemistry sort of there?  FL starts by sucking foam from beer can same time as ML.

Ending - Toxic sister-in-law & FL's unloving mom magically become good people & both are welcomed warmly.  FL has baby & they get married 1 year later.  Ending is baby's 1 yr b-day party. FL fells like vomiting...2nd pregnancy hint.  ML's love rival aka FL's BF dating FL's other BF.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   70 min        Total Time:   18 hrs 40 min

Notes:   Story seemed like it took story arcs from many of the popular saegheuks & meshed them together.  Felt like villain & king were performances I have already seen from those actors.  Liked FL's acting & character, but ML's acting seemed like a newbie especially compared to FLs.  The 5 yr age gap showed.  Loved the character + actors of FL2 (innocent cute little noble), ML2 (Villian's son from a lowborn lady) & FL's brother.  Rooted for ML2.  Wanted their hate to turn to love, especially since the leads in my opinion lacked chemistry.  Poor writing/made no sense.  1. ML showed it in final scene though. No surprise that FL saved ML from drowning as a kid...but she doesn't remember when ML says he was saved from drowning ?  2. ML says he knew from the start he would have to sacrifice himself for her...but why was he thinking that when this attempt to kill was on him & it was him in his body..made no sense.  3. FL's father such a moral person/believe all lives are precious, why did he treat daughter as a lowborn? Body swap acting not that good, maybe preferred w/out them?

--- Main couple kiss w/small slow munchies 3-4 times.  FL kisses ML 1st as she runs past him.

Ending - Villain exiled & jumps into the sea to commit suicide.  King abdicates the throne to ML & is put in seclusion by himself w/his legal wife tending to him.  ML stays in palace long enough to hand over throne to younger nephew.  The leads meet up in a field of yellow flowers both as equal ordinary commoners. (FL is a lowborn so she can never enter the palace as his queen) Final scene FL's ring & shoes in a museum in present day & we see reincarnations of leads meeting again.

(Netflix)        Total Time:   2 hrs 10 Min

Notes:   Idk, wanted to like it, but didn't.  Sad but did not shed a tear. The boy who became a girl always looked like a feminine boy.  Did like that the story didn't go down the seedy path & parents were supportive.  Didn't like that there was no depiction of medical recovery from surgery....ML has surgery & then bam next scene he is doing it w/his boyfriend.  Felt Dr's anguish trying to decide his stance on gender reassignment & his desperation to save lives.  A lot of music scenes. Did not like music.

Ending:  Dr dies..maybe suicide?  Dies from taking anesthetic gas.  ML becomes a big star.  A large group of trans/trans sympathizers dance/sing at Dr's grave.

(Netflix)        Total Time:   1 hrs 53 Min

Notes:  Casting for non-pretty girl FL done well.  MLC was eccentric & liked that.  Message of movie is love is worth taking a chance on.  Predictable:  As soon as ML tells FL to meet him Dec 24th I knew that would never happen & that the light shining on his face was not the hapiness love glow, but headlights reflecting his death.  Sad but did not shed a tear.

Ending:  ML's existence in FL's & other ML's life gave them light to move forward past their traumas / loner lives.  FL a schoolteacher & ML a successful writer/coffee house musician.

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   44 min        Total Time:   5 hrs 52 Min

Notes:   Shin Hae Sun's acting very good, but story did not draw me in.  Shin Hae Sun w/blonde hair & colored contacts made her unrecognizable & I loved that. Wanted a drama w/her looking like that.  Predominant female cast not my fav & seemed like FL into woman....maybe character's manipulation tactic?

Ending - Her real name is never revealed/resolved.  FL in jail for killing purse making girl who became greedy.  Cop visits FL to ask FL her name which she doesn't give.

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   36 min        Total Time:   3 hrs 36 Min

Notes: 

1.  Dated outside the show & together.  I Find them creepy & a future divorce waiting to happen.....I soo hope for his sake.
2.  Did not date outside show.  
3.  Did not date outside show.
4. One date then friends.  Go Eun went to dinner w/I Geon at reunion & Geon asked her to a movie.  She agreed.
5.  Several dates/meet ups/keeping in touch.  Seems like healthy relationship.  Rooting for them.
6. Rooting for him/Go Eun.  He wasn't at reunion house.

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   70 min        Total Time:   14 hrs

Notes:  Loved the photo challenge!  Wish that was a daily challenge so all pairings were represented.  The final voting pics were not as the ones we previewed as part of the story.  The final ones looked worse.  All the contestants had great bodies & were interesting.  Seung Gil, & I Geon seemed like red flags.  Go Eun had better chemistry w/ I Geon, but he ruined it by not fully committing to process.  Mina Sue had electric chemistry w/ Su Been but she ruined it w/her ego & craziness.  Ye-jin so forgettable.  Joo Young's scrunch face w/smile was weird & too repetitious.  Mina sue liking Sung Hun was never believable...they were always friends.  She picked him to save face.  My hot guy vote would be for Su Been.  Most unlikable Hee Sun....outfit @ reunion off shoulder black lace dress..yuck.

1. [Hee Sun] - busty, quiet, stalker + [Su Been] - Ex baseball player
2. [Min Gee] - professional runner + [Seun Gil] - Fashion marketer
3. [Mina Sue] - Student in Chicago + [Sung Hun] - New York
4. [Go Eun] - Model, best female body + [Sung Min] - Big ears, cute baby face, very white
5. [Joo Young] - Flower/vase artist + [Jae Jin] - Dancer, funny oddball
6. [I Geon] - Actor, last to arrive, older, suave
7. [Hyun Jae] Hair always covering eyes
8. [Hyeon Woo] - Handball coach, Beefy
9. [Ye-Jin] - Tiny, Freelance Announcer
10. [Ha Eun] - Last female to arrive

(Amazon)        Avg Dur:   70 min        Total Time:   14 hrs

Notes:  Not much of a story to pull you in & meh side characters w/lots of screen time.  Leads had good chemistry.  Humor was very enjoyable, wished it had more of that.  FL jumping on bed to toss the rose petals off & her love/hate relationship w/that plant ML gave her was so funny.  Liked the FL actress & character w/ her understated down-to-earth acting style.  ML had several ab & slow mo scenes. Ahn Bo Hyun's acting surprised me....it was the highlight of the drama. Wow...Cho Jun Young abs!  Even if just a peek I swooned.  Wasn't a fan of girl classmate actress or spoiled brat character.  The little Chiwawa was cute.  ML's rival not much of one/weak rival story arc.  Music was noticeably good. Some PPL noticeable idk weird?

--- 3 kisses w/ light munchies more ML than FL. Unfortunately, they come off looking drama fake.

Ending - FL leaves Sichun for good teaching job as exchange period ended.  1 Year later she opens that miss me box from ML & is annoyed so she tracks ML down.  ML is on the beach & proposes to FL.  ML's nephew gets 2nd place & is annoyed at his 1st place GF so he decides to go to college w/her.

(Amazon)        Avg Dur:   55 min        Total Time:   4 hrs 35 min

Notes:  ML (Butterfly professor) acting was superior, really felt his unhingedness.  Thought this would be a crime thriller but was one of those artsy psycho dramas w/ lots of deep thoughts which I didn't really get.  The fact that all the boys were not as they projected was a surprise.  The painter mom as the mastermind was no surprise.  Itsu as the killer made sense somehow, but moving it to Anna seemed illogical/unreasonable/unbelievable.  Did not like Anna actress.  We were led to believe killer was in this order:  Professor, Itsu, Anna, Tetrachromacy painter.  The translucent butterfly wings on the boys was beautiful imagery.

Ending - The dad killed his son & took the blame for all the killings because he thought his son was the killer.  Son helped Anna (the real killer) prepare the bodies & his guilt drove him to make his dad believe he was the killer.   Anna's mom, the famous artist lost her tetrachromacy, so she asked Anna to finish her specimen vision.  Anna walks away free.  Itsu is shown painting over his confession on his artwork... that he left for whom?

(Amazon)        Avg Dur:   60 min        Total Time:   10 hrs

Notes:  Loved the leads & especially the corky ML. FL cute smile.  ML actor's facial expressions & clothing choices were impressive & fun.  Sometimes felt like FL was a skosh selfish/self-centered.   The scenes showing what each of the 3 types of blindness looked like & the blind comedian who gave facts + a funny antic dote about his blind life was interesting. Loved the tree by the river where ML sat w/girl smitten w/him.  ML's gay friend actor hot.  Not a fan of FL's sister settling to be hot guy's servant/obsessed loser.  Comedian story of him accidently picking his broom not his cane & the fact that train station platforms were more dangerous for drunks than blind people were hilarious.

--- Did leads kiss?

Ending - FL breaks up w/ML so he can take a job far away.  FF 1 year he returns w/no job.  FL attending cooking class to get her chef's license while working as a paper pusher at a corp food co.  ML & FL reconcile & ML buys a food truck so they can start/run a business together.  ML's Gay friend tells FL's sister he can't love her, but he can appreciate her which she agrees to.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   44 min        Total Time:   10 hrs 16 min

Notes:  Liked the actors in this version.  Win had the vibe / look of Cha Eun Woo.  Many Deja Vu scenes.  Liked ML2 better for FL.  His maturity seemed a better fit for her.  FL pushing ML towards FL2, FL using ML2 for emotional support irked me.  Thai culture not accepting people who choose plastic surgery not believable....IRL doesn't Thai culture embrace plastic surgery?  The stalker trying to kill the cat was that necessary?  Hated that.  Enjoyed ML showing his mom his keychain & him telling ML2 in a corky territorial way he is dating FL.  ML2 & ML bromance cute.  Shameless amounts of PPL.

--- 1 lips barely touching kiss at end.  

Ending - Crazy FL2 exposed for being a liar/fake.  A male classmate turns out to be FL2's stalker after we are led briefly to believe 2 other classmates were the villains. Stalker sent to jail.   The acid was labeled wrong...how oddly convenient.  FL forgives FL2 & they stay good friends. 

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   10 min        Total Time:   3 hrs 20 min

Notes:  Liked the leads & ML's bodyguard. Wasn't sold on FL's lady's maid.  Banter/chemistry/sexual tension was very enjoyable.  ML chasing after FL who wasn't into him was cute.  Male & female brothel loved that.  ML's friend in love w/the masked man, not knowing it was the ML & professing ML as just a brother story arc was abandoned.  FL as the emperor was interesting.  Low budget that looked high budget.  Costumes looked expensive, detailed, exquisite.

--- 2 mouth on mouth kisses w/passive FL & ML mild hunger. 3rd FL initiates + deep munching.  2nd couple kisses 1x, lips on lips.

Ending - Surprise - ML met FL when they were super young kids.  ML loved her the minute she protected him w/her sling shot & told her dad she wanted to protect the country.  ML agreed to become emperor when he found out FL would be betrothed to him.  Not a surprise FL pregnant & ML saved by FL's talisman (arrow hit that).

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   46 min        Total Time:   13 hrs 48 min

Notes:  Complicated female centric soap opera plots w/bad acting. Disliked all the female parents, they were raging screaming vile adults.  Meen actress's face irritated me as well as Wanwan's bad attitude.  Loved Term & Saras.  Saras curly hair at the end was soo fun.

--- A few unmemorable kisses w/multiple couples.

Ending -
[Pal] killed by all the girls (tossed over balcony after attempting to kill Meen).  
[Prae] committed suicide at her wedding because Wanwan put her gang bang video on display.  Prae loved Meen & she competed w/her brother Pitch for Meen.  
[Pitch] Sent video of Wanwan's brother being raped by two guys/Prae letting it happen to Wanwan so he can win Meen by setting up Prae.
[Meen] Marries Pitch & they have a 3 year old girl. Meen finds out Pitch is a very bad guy & she is devastated.
[May] killed by Wanwan's stepmom (slit her wrist)
[Wanwan] Kills her stepmom (drowns her), kills her brother (turns off his life support) goes insane & disappears in her wedding dress
[Non] Grows to be a good guy, but distraughtly searching for Wanwan
[Wee] Accidently hangs himself after all the girls tie him up/call police.
[Saras] Turns herself in for killing married boyfriend's wife (pushed her down the stairs), nasty grandmom leaves her large inheritance.  
[Term] Visits Saras in jail.  They are together again.

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 49 min

Notes:  Nothing that left an impression.  Liked the lead actors & their acting was okay.  The mystery portion (what happened to the FL) done well.  The mystery girl looked a lot like FL so her being FL's daughter was no surprise.

--- No kissing.

Ending- FL disappears for a long time.  A girl comes to fix the cafe after it is damaged by a car accident & at the end, she reveals her mom is the FL who the ML has been looking for (No surprise).  FL was in coma for a long time & has amnesia.  When she woke up, she studied to become an Architect, married, had a daughter.  Final scene FL comes to cafe & her memory of ML returns.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   13 min        Total Time:   1 hrs 18 min

Notes:  Strangely it was boring & beginning so confusing.  Leads on & off so many times wasn't sure they liked each other. FL beautiful ML seemed an odd choice for her.  If going to have a romance FL's 1st love can't be her work, it eroded what little chemistry the leads had.  On opposite spectrum were Mai & Porsche, w/oodles of chemistry.  LOVED the 2nd couple actors & characters. The acting style seemed to have a lot of non/slow dialog.  The stalker scenes done well...creepy girl done the right way.  ML's sister actress deadpan face & ill-tempered, so not that likable. Loved the water droplet sound effect.  Wished the drama had prolonged the voice mystery for at least 4 ep.....so disappointed it was resolved 1/2 way through ep 1.  Less ep would be better.

--- Leads munchie kissed 3 times & done well.

Ending - FL dumps ML to find herself.  FF 2 years ML is scouting a film location as a director & runs into FL who is an elementary school teacher.  It looks like they reunite & get can hear each other again...(he says marry & she responds to him like she heard).

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   13 min        Total Time:   1 hrs 18 min

Notes:  The whole drama was just awkward.  ML was endearing & love rival bodyguard was getting there.  Surprised the killer was the team leader.  Her bitchy attitude was hard to swallow. Wasn't a fan of FL's over confidence in herself or her looks.  ML looked like Kim Jung Hyun.  

--- No kissing.

Ending - ML recognizes FL from her family picture.  ML tells FL they met when younger & he helped her w/her fear of loud noises. They hug as she tells ML he is supposed to be her brother & they are not supposed to do certain things as siblings (cutely).

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 46 min

Notes:  Thought the acting was comfortable & easy to watch.  Enjoyed he actors & leads had very good chemistry.  Forgot Japanese version so it wasn't that memorable?  ML better Jap ver, but didn't like FL actress.  Need to try & find to rewatch since many liked that version better. I cried more than I usual & dismissed obvious hints that ML might have tragic ending:  He tells FL he is not into sports (but looks very athletic), grabs his chest after running after the bus, & ML's dad telling his to not tire his heart out.  Loved the stained glass!  Filmed w/brightness.  FL's BF actress cried when returning the memories she took....great acting. Also loved the flashback to the hospital where we find out FL noticed ML first, so her accepting his date proposal most likely not coincidence.

--- 1 kiss.  3 munchies that looked inexperienced/a bit hesitant but had right emption/chemistry.

Ending- ML dies & FL regains a tiny bit of ability to regain recent memories/come to terms w/her grief.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   45 min        Total Time:   21 hrs 45 min

Notes:  Lacked a solid plot & quite a few jarring scene transitions.  A few humor scenes that were right on target...like FL fishing for keys in ML's pocket, ML's comments funny.  Characters were multidimensional/deep.  Brother sister references made love story arc a bit creepy however hot chemistry of actors softened the ick factor.  Liked Esther Yu's serious acting, but not the immature little girl acting.  Felt bad for ML, he is struggling & along comes FL who is a burden, like he needs more responsibilities. Wished she took care of ML more, because she was capable, although maybe ML needed that feeling of taking care of her?  FL had on a new outfit every 5 min, but ML had about 3 shirts, all black. "Drunk" gave me gay vibes w/ML.  No love triangle, no 2nd ML was nice. Also, girl who liked ML never sabotaged leads relationship.  The fighting scenes were good because of ML & FL even got a few good kicks in.  ML sexy w/shirt off, great set of abs.  Liked 1 song a lot & 1 song good.  Less ep would have been better.

--- Many kisses. 1st ML kisses FL in pool in FL's dream.  Steamy munching kissing throughout but more in 1st half.  FL pecks then ML kisses hungerly. 

Ending - FL & ML hop on motorcycle to elope after ML has 5 years to recover from car accident.  He can now walk.  Gives Cafe to FL.

(Tubi)        Avg Dur:   13 min        Total Time:   2 hrs 10 min

Notes:  Acting & script pretty boring, but the actors were eye catching w/ their very pleasing facial emotions.  ML reminded me sooo much of Lee Jong Suk.  The characters' emotional ages were a bit uncomfortable, but they looked cute together.  Chemistry?  Liked FL w/both guys, but of course FL's choice swayed me.  Hated FL using mean words to ML....like to cool their relationship down.

--- 5-6 Kisses.  1 or 2 w/a smidge of munching heat.

Ending - FL agreed to be a bit more girlfriend like at work & ML agreed to back off.  Final scene shows that everyone already knows the leads are dating & pretend to not know to keep morale good for the couple.  ML2 starts dating the office girl that likes him.

Link:  Fish-selling girl saves a man by the river—He’s a billionaire heir, she marries into wealth! 

Plot:  FL rescues unconcious injured ML.  ML, a Commander, suffers from amnesia, so she lets others believe he is her husband until he regains memories.  ML falls for her & delays telling her he is healed.  FL has also taken in 2 young boys w/no family.  The 1 young boy is good at Chinese traditional medicine.  FL must protect herself & boys from jealous town lady + ML's acquaintance.
Notes:  Dubbed poorly, story barely comprehendible.  Nasty town lady had creepy eyes.  FL did good job w/ her drooping side mouth scene.  FL too much jabbering/puffering.  The mom that & daughter that wanted to watch FL get raped turned my stomach! Loved ML's line " I'm going to do what a husband ought to do" as he draws near her to kiss her. Wasn't a fan of ML's looks.  Grandma was beautiful!

(IQIYI)        Total Time:  1 hrs 11 min
Xu Fu Treasure

Notes:  Large snake cgi & a fire dragon.  Liked the Chinese stone warriors trap.  None of the actors or characters grabbed me.  FL's female side kick & Japanese bald-headed villain always gave me feelings of disgust.  Very cliche... traitor in their group leaving trail, ML's buddy always making poor choices, & traps.

Ending- They find the gold + ship.  Leads sing song & dragon awakes killing all the bad guys.  All traces of treasure lost/ destroyed. ML asks FL to join his 2 person team.

(IQIYI)        Total Time:  1 hrs 9 min
Vice President of Secret Service

Notes:  Acting bad.  FL super annoying.  That ballet dance scene was an embarrassment to ballet.  The psycho stalking brother was hard to connect to.  Weirdly I preferred him for FL over his older brother.  This was 1 movie out of many sequels/prequels.  So bad I will not watch other movies.

Ending- Younger brother pushed off rooftop. ML & FL a couple.  

(IQIYI)        Total Time:  1 hrs 15 min
Introduction to Kinematics

Notes:  Swimmer ML had his shirt off a lot...good body.  The ML's chemistry seemed a bit LGBTQ at times....funny I looked & the sequel has ML & ML2 becoming a couple.  A bit odd since ML's dad died & ML2's dad took him in so they have been referring to/acting as brothers.  The humor was teetering on cute, but subtitles so bad it ruined a lot of the humor. The subtitles were also too fast at times.

Ending- Swimmer enters swim meet but gets disqualified for entering pool & declares bad guy the winner.  Bad guy says they will continue bet when leg is healed in a friendly competition way.  Two endings:  1-  FL leaves ML & ML2 to walk off together  Alt ending:  ML2 puts FL & ML's hands together.  FL kisses ML on cheek.

(IQIYI)        Total Time:  1 hrs 21 min
Growth of God

Notes:  None of the actors impressed me nor the story.  The villagers killing the kind hearted bigfooted idiot broke my heart. How could anyone do that?  Costumes were super fake/cheesy looking.  Nezha 1 of the deities.  Liked birdman's costume.  Bigfooted ML gave me Monkey King vibes.

Ending- ML decides to stay in mortal realm.  Spirit of girl in bow moved on.  Birdman was given a 2nd chance from Queen after his evilness was removed by bigfoot.

(YouTube_Youku Movie)        Total Time:  1 hrs 27 min

Notes:  Loved ML.  Couldn't connect to story emotionally maybe because stories seemed disjointed?  Loved the heavy princess & military commander. Absolutely loved that Emperor & Empress were kind people.

---No kssing

Ending- ML steals weapons book for FL's husband.  Emperor catches them & then sets up FL to reveal her, the chefs & her husband's backstory.  FL reduced to commoner & marries chef.

(Tubi)        Total Time:  1 hrs 12 min

Notes:  Loved the hair & the ML was endearing.  The fight scenes were pretty good, not too much fantasy moves.  The Irish heavy weight boxer as a challenger was different.

Ending- ML fakes his death & catches the magistrate red handed.  ML's dad stabs the metal clawed fighter & ML finishes him off.  The heavyweight boxer & ML continue their fair fight match.

(Netflix)        Avg Dur:   54 min        Total Time:   8 hrs 6 min

Notes:  Fantastic writing!  Loved all the older cast.  ML's facial expressions were so emotion filled.  Wanted him & Shiki to be together at the end, but I can accept the ending because it's logical.  The powers were interesting even though not particularly creative. Loved the Shibu Inu dog.  Soo many surprises:  1- Kizashi is from 2055, 2- a hologram, 3-married to Saki  3-willing to sacrifice 10,000 people, steal pills recipe, & hire people to take harmful pills to save his wife. 4-Saiki died not Kizashi 5-Man in white from 2070 & is Kizashi 6- see ending notes.  The college kids story arcs a bit weak.  Artful weaving of story so you question who are villains.

Ending - The animal communication, florist, old lady & ML powers hadn't worn off yet even though they stopped taking the pill.  The just completed getting Saiki & Kizashi together by giving Kizashi the gold bee phone charm.  FL has no memories of past 6 months.  No one died.  2055 Kizashi visited by white robe man...most likely Kizashi of 2070.  Ichimatsu said he would like to make the pill w/outside effects in future. Would love to see a sequel or spin off.

(Tubi)        Total Time:  1 hrs 39 min

Notes:  Spoof on James bond movie.  The humor wasn't funny & wasn't sure what was going on half the time.  Loved the cars.  

Ending- ML & FL at their 2nd chance wedding.  I think he passed out gifts that blow up because he was expecting a lot of villains to attend.

Notes:    Opening scene steamy interaction of married leads.  Found the version too hard to follow....subtitles were not the best.  Liked the facial expressions of both leads.

---Lots of almost munching kissing

Ending - FL let van hot her. ML discovers all the misunderstandings caused his wife to be depressed.  I think the brain lesions were cured w/medication.  ML entered her dream to help her find a better scenario for them.  Both wake up from dream looking forward to future.

Notes:  Pretty spicy w/a few shower scenes.  MLC a total horn dog.  A small feeling of ickiness.  FL going back to mom's home to be sold/passively letting mom rule over her was maddening.

---Lots of munchie kissing.  Bite each other's lower lip in sexually charged tension way.

Ending - FL pregnant & helps a girl in restroom at hospital realize selling her eggs is a mistake.

Notes:  Liked all the artwork/drawings.  The comic fairy was cute but the nonstop talking was annoying.  The start where FL describes fairy...no wishes, no magic was funny.  Would have been so much better if story contained a lot more fairy humor. The mom was too controlling/mean.  Didn't connect w/the leads, their was no chemistry.  FL reminded me of Lee Hye Ri.

--- ML only kissed FL on forehead 2x.

Ending- FL finds her confidence & becomes a successful author.  ML leaves but returns for FL's book signing.

Plot: King required to have a daughter because they carry ability to talk to animals, but he is unaware the deposed empress already had one.  Little girl meets a boy who can control animals w/flute.  Together they protect the nation from treasonous nobles while returning empresses' exiled family.
Notes:  A few cringe lines that no young actress should have to say...like eating young grass.  Impressive how many lines she delivered. The king character was too hot tempered & egotistical, hard to like him.  Mostly boring & CGI was terrible.  I could tell characters sitting on a piece of wood & a CGI animal added.   Talking animals so close to FL's voice hard to tell who is talking. TBC ending ...the person pulling the treason strings has yet to be identified.

Notes:  Subtitles not great..struggled w/story a bit. Little girl actress amazingly good.  Wasn't a fan of little girl's female master...kind of ugly.  Liked ML's acting.  

[Child main lead / Magic / Curse / Slight Romance]

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   50 min        Total Time:   6 hrs 40 min

Notes:   FL2, the victim, was too naive/wishy washy.  The guy being used by the FL villain seemed like a loser that I had no patience for.  Everyone is like wooh is me.  Why focus on a shirt button?  Wasn't sorry for date raper to get killed.  The HS friend that gets killed is stupid...walking home alone after posting the sex video at school & why post the video in the 1st place when u know the girl is psycho.  The two FLs gave me lesbian vibes...hetero romance not very believable. Namo seems fishy?  Directors doing this on purpose?  Started out boring, but parents to blame got interesting. FL2's dad actor looks too young for her mom actress.  The car accident didn't look that serious...a parked car just rolled.  FL2's dad a total egotist & hated that the parents did not get what they deserved.  

Ending - Hint ending - Music box playing in the grass at University & FL2 sees it.  FL was shot by Namo...is she still alive?  Namo put box there?  Tao kills villain's mom by accident w/ a knife & is not put in jail.  FL2's dad hit villains mom w/his car & then fled scene.  Car accident most likely caused miscarriage.  They covered it up causing villain's dad to comit suicide, her mom to become crazy & herself to be abused/mental.

Notes:   Needed more reincarnations & a more skilled ML actor.  If this was turned into a drama series could be amazing?  The FL's acting skills were really good.  Loved the theme song matched w/the twirling of the white Daphne & Apollo statue.  Ohmage to Say Anything & Love actually American movies was a treat.  

Ending - Find out FL asked to be reincarnated along w/ML but loses her memories + gives up heaven.  Last reincarnation teacher dies saving FL from truck accident.  FL meets ML on the beach & asks him how they know each other because he seems familiar.

(Viki)        Avg Dur:   70 min        Total Time:   18 hrs 40 min

Notes:   Not as good as other seasons because some content looked forced/cheesy...like father r son missing case.  Felt like girl idol group storyline had a unique twist.  Absolutely went gaga over Yoon Shi Yoon as a villain...so good & ML's uncover persona as a corky kid.  The cocky guy scamming people via phone made me soo angry taunting the pregnant lady.  Lee Je Hoon switching from happy go lucky corky to the anger stare was so intriguing.  Fight scenes very strong.  Glad no romance, not even a hint.  Wished Lee Je Hoon was filled doing whole dance...not just multiple quick snippets.  Super enjoyed FL actress this season...especially her rebel girl persona.

Ending - ML shot 3 times & pushed lunatic general off the quarry cliff w/himself.  Hint ending.  Lady looking for a hitman to kill her 1/2 sister so she can have whole inheritance.  She meets ML posing as a ceramicist with his shirt off.  I think lady is from Taxi driver 1 the gang boss infatuated w/ML posing as a rogue?

(Netflix)        Total Time:  1 hrs 45 min

Notes:  Wasn't a fan of FL.  Actor who plays FL's cheating ex-boyfriend super cute....love his eyes.  Surprised FL's new boyfriend released the video & is the ex of the girl her boyfriend is seeing.  Plus ML looks like a good guy.  

Ending- FL goes solo for a year then ML shows up w/an excel spreadsheet showing her a plan on how he is and is going to make amends.

(Netflix)        Total Time:  2 hrs 14 min

Notes:  Slow.  Cute long-haired cat.  Okay Thai humor.  Disliked daughter actress & character too much bitch face/angst.

Ending- ML had changed to a good person & that is who he wanted to be especially after seeing his past bad self.  FL said no to getting back together w/him, but the ending made it seem like they worked it out.

Title ?:  The Sky is Blue, Waiting for the Misty Rain

FL has amnesia & can't remember her capture & almost death w/ML as kids.  ML a CEO has been looking for the girl w/yin jade pendent to match his yang side.  FL is ML's employee.  FL gets a bracelet that makes her invisible.  FL dislikes ML so she uses invisibility to tease ML.

(Viki)        Total Time:  1 hrs 54 min

Notes:  It is well written, but I found it boring.  Amazing that 1 guy defied the majority that was convinced defendant was guilty.  

Ending- The judge sided w/jury & upheld the not guilty verdict all the jurors agreed upon finally.  

(ODK On Demand Korea)        Total Time:  1 hrs 40 min

Notes:   Loved FLC's temperament.  Not totally sold on FL actress though.  The little boy was an astounding actor.  His smile & doe like eyes melted me.  ML is bathtub was happy candy.  Not sure how I feel about the nude kid jumping in.  It added depth/realness to the boy's character, but IRL ?  Loved Grandmas warmth.  Cried when grandma went to hospital & when boy cried having to leave his dad.  The boy in the stripped shirt w/eyes...so fun.

Ending - ML leaves China for Korea to be w/son & girl he is starting to have feelings for.  The Dr & the friend who was supposed to be the sperm donor were on thier way to see FL...but then nothing.  A second movie would have been awesome...same actors though.

(Viki)        Total Time:  2 hrs 10 min

Notes:  FL & ML did not translate as a matching pair.  FL being bitchy to ML for the same espionage she is pulling pissed me off.  FL couldn't speak up when she witnessed employee stealing ML's laptop.  This version of start-up nowhere near as good as drama.  

Ending -FL told on stage she was disappointing.  FL disappeared for a year.  ML looked for her as a freelance programmer.  When he found her he had to argue to get back together.

(ODK On Demand Korea)        Total Time:  1 hrs 54 min

Notes:   Well written & enjoyed grandma & the cat.  Some of the CGI used on cat a bit hooky. The daughter actress grew on me as I enjoyed her acting.  NAF of Jo Jung Suk, but he was okay.  I cried at the end.  The escape from their house/into the streets at beginning looked very contrived.  Surprised when daughter got bit by zombie little boy & the ending.

Ending - Daughter turns inhumane biological dad into zombie & uncle kills him.  Uncle tells zombie niece to bite him.  He turns into a zombie & swat shoot him...we believe he is dead.  However final scene niece wakes up & uncle is in a coma.  His body built up antibodies each time his niece bit him which were cultivated into a vaccination.  If niece made it were there others that were shot by swat that could have too?

Notes:   Slow.  Disliked FL & FLC.  FLC was soo mean.  Felt bad for friend in love w/the cheating bitch girlfriend.  He could do better.  The idea of being cursed & needing to be around love soo interesting.  Would love to see a drama series made...better actors.

--- 4 soft kisses.

Ending - FL asks ML to marry her.  Then he asks her too.  The person or deity that cursed her was never given an explanation / conclusion.

(YouTube)        Total Time:  1 hrs 38 min

Notes:   FL was soo annoying...constantly getting in trouble because of her stupidity.  Not a fan of brain-dead characters & those that love/put up w/their ignorant selfishness.  Seen this same story with better actors/characters.  FL & ML break out in song toward end...kinda oddsince not a musical.

--- 2 soft kisses.  2nd w/munchies.

Ending - FL ML have the kid & are happy.

(YouTube)        Total Time:  1 hrs 10 min

Notes: Frustratingly slow, but loved the story idea.  The actors over acted at times but still enjoyed their characters.  FL agreeing to stay w/ML & abstaining from intimate relations w/ hot husband crazy.  Plus she even enjoys watching.  Weird thing was how normal & a bit campy the tone of this movie was.  The progression of how they fall for each other needed to be stronger.  ML had his chest peeking through a low cut sweater...my heart skipped a beat or two.  Drama series would be nice.

Ending - Ghost marries prostitute ML & forgoes moving onto heaven.  She supports his prostitute life by cheering him on & watching.  

(Viki)        Total Time:  1 hrs 39 min

Notes:  Entertaining but fight scenes were sooo fake looking.  ML was from bear or tiger?  

Ending - Hint ending: hooded bad guy w/burn scar on whole cheek visits ML's house & tells ML's sister he is going to have her.  

(Amazon)        Total Time:  1 hrs 29 min

Notes:  Not sure what the story was.  I couldn't piece the information together.

Ending - ML is dead & FL is super depressed.

(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.
