10/10 You won't be disappointed.... Thriller Intense drama Its one of the best thriller series of all time. I thought SIGNAL was the best thriller series I ever watched. But this was also awesome. I saw other language thrillers, but they were never this intense. Story, screenplay, acting,.... everything was good. Korean thrillers are best Now a days, movies within 2 hours can't keep us engaging. But not these series. Every episode has intense/engaging scenes
10/10 Fantastic show! 1am surprised to be the first to leave a review. At first I was skeptical because of the name of the show but decided to give it a try and was hooked in the first 10 minutes. This is absolutely a fantastic show. I am already recommending to all my family and friends to check it out. Looking forward to seeing how many awards it rakes up!
10/10 Beautiful Historic Drama Based on Actual Fact I love, love, love this drama. I rate it up there with Goblin and Eternal Love. It is a masterpiece and the cast is one of the best l've seen in a very long time. Everything about it is on point. The two talented leads set the pace and the supporting cast made it all credible. The storyline was accurate, the cinematography great, the writing is to be commended, the direction and production were good too. It is an emotional story so you may find yourself in tears at some juncture, and laughing at other times. The ending is almost sacred. I found myself crying uncontrollably at the finale. All in all, Red Sleeves is everything you could possibly hope for in a well-written, acted and produced drama. Kudos to all. Please watch this drama. It's really worth it!
10/10 Captivating medical thriller This series delves into the psyche of the human mind, showing how every action leads to another. It demonstrates that a 'good' person is not always good, and a 'bad' person is not always bad either. How certain circumstances and experiences can drastically change a person. Park Eun-Bin's first-ever sinister role, showcases her wide range of acting skills. Well prepared cast, plot and direction. The series also dives into complex ethical medical dilemmas, adding layers of moral conflict that keep things gripping. The first two episodes were already intense, which keeps me coming back for more.
10/10 AMAZING This is not just comedy gold, it has an amazing plot and has top notch acting. Watch this if you want a great time. PS. Actually, dont watch it yet, since its not finished and you gonna have withdrawal symptoms LOL
10/10 Good adaptation! With the limits they must work with in China, since this show was based on a BL novel, I say they've done an amazing job! And to find those two lead actors, Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong, was a stroke of genius. Those two bring so much to this series it's hard to even put into words, because it's everything from; micro acting, to how they use their body language, to how they use their voice, and much much more... it's fantastic! The storyline is simple and good enough, and the only negative is the special effects (but it's understandable with a limited budget). The soundtrack helps set the mood, and the title tracks are amazing! It tickles my funny bone every time I hear Journey in there though, LOL! I highly recommend you give this series a shot, for the sake of the two lead characters and their relationship if nothing else. Enjoy!
10/10 A Must-Watch! This is so heart-warming and beautiful. I honestly enjoyed the personality difference in each MC, and how they explored each other in unhurried and caring way. I think it's such a waste they deleted a lot of scenes; it'd have added a lot of depth to the characters. However, the show as it's been left is still magnificent on its own. If you're undecided about watching this, please drop whatever you're doing and go watch it. There's flawless acting, evident character development, and an amazing plot. I admit I didn't enjoy the ending because I know they could have come up with something for the antagonist, but at least they dropped the happy ending version. I especially enjoyed the slow burn and the twists, and there was relevance in each case they worked which made it easy for me, as a viewer, to piece together. Finally, I believe that the type of relationship the killer and the healer had is something divine and pure, something that has become rare and almost nonexistent, which is why I was hooked immediately. This is definitely 10 out of 10.
10/10 l've never fallen head over heels a series like I have for this series I often just watch highlights of a series, especially Chinese series cause many them of have such a large number of episodes with a lot of filters. However, each episode in this series is quite dense with plot details and forshadowings. Actions scenes has good choreography and stays true to its genres. The two leads portray their character spendidly, especially through their eyes and microexpressions. They also performed most of the action scenes themselves. The supporting charactors also have interesting backstories. Dispite the limited budget, the crews has delivered a high quality series with a lot of hearts in it.
10/10 A Hidden Diamond Once in a while you come across a hidden jewel which outshines everything around. This is one of those gems which is par excellence. A must see, it has twists and turns, plots and sub plots, just when you think you've figured out the plot it goes into a totally unexpected dimension. Don't understand a word of the language but the subtitles are very well done. Moreover its got superb acting by all the main characters. For me it's been the fantasy series of the year so far.
10/10 One of the Best Fantasy series. After long time a historical K drama to get me hooked. Its part 1 only and I am expecting more and more from this series. Oh this series, I am in love with this. After long long time a Kdrama to get me hooked. The best thing of this show is How interesting the character of Lee Jae - Wook's is. I mean you expect typical historical/ Joeson character but no, he is completely different with great comic timing and seriousness when its needed. His flirting scenes with Mu Deok is so subtle. One more thing to add here, apart from the good CGI and different story, is that unlike every other historical show there is no rush to make lead couple fall in love immediately. Its new take on historical show. They hate, they curse, they fight, there are moments between them. I like it. Last but not the least, the female lead - Jung So Min's character is very strongly built and it is not getting faded in the course of romance. Loving it. A little spoiler which is not spoiler at all - It is very funny to watch that everytime she wants to help him she puts both of them in danger.
9/10 Smiling is good for health A refreshing plot revolving around a couple of men working for a law firm. They have an exceedingly cute rapport and a sense of 'being in their own world'. I happened to recently learn that they are actually seeing each other. "gong shi ni men". If you like watching friends-turning-lovers concepts, then please do watch it at convenience. Not too long, not boring in script, not toxic in portraying a relationship, not a stereotype rich falling for poor, not a blood-puking and tear jerking heavy melo-laced drama. The other couple in the drama seem to be utterly under nourished. Even though they might have tried to act to their capability, I could not sync. I love the comedic bit by 'YuZhen-ShiLei' CP. Thanks and kudos to Chen laoshi.
10/10 Cute & Light hearted series. If you are looking for a lighthearted show then this it. This show has humour that you will never get bored in between the show. All the three couples: two side and one main couples are good looking with good chemistry. Plot is simple, easy and good execution is done here. Show is overall broadminded. You would not find pettiness, cringe and any overlyextra scene here. This show is a feel good show with light hearted comedy. If you want to lighten the mood than this show is good choice for you. Overall points :- * Story 8.5 * Storytelling 8.5 * Casting 9.5 * Humour 9 * Acting & Chemistry 9 * Cinematography 9 * OST 9.5.
Kiss me agian review I liked this story a lot. The character, character development, plot and storyline was good. The acting was great. I love all the relationships in this asian drama. To be honest when I first watched it I was only watching it Becuse there was bl relationship but after I started it. I loved all the relationships so I stuck around and started to what to know what was gonna happen to everyone. It was never boring. Super entertaining and fun watch I recommend for all ages. Honestly, I skipped all the parts and only saw pete/kao story. They are awsome!
10/10 A Really Interesting Thai Drama He's Coming To Me is a really interesting Thai show from GMMTV that turned out to be quite good. The story centers around Thun, played by Pawat Chittsawangdee and Mes, a ghost played by actor Prachaya Ruangroj (Sotus) quest to answer the mystery behind why Mes can't pass on or be reincarnated. Both of the lead actors are quite good and they have an excellent storyline to work with; along with a strong supporting cast of characters who add to the drama and provide comic relief throughout the series. Parts of the show reminded me of the show Dead Like Me; in that a few of the characters are ghosts interacting with one another. This element is then combined with the quest to solve the big mystery; all the while providing the viewers with a range of unique cultural points that provide interesting insight into Thai culture along the way.
10/10 An epic Korean Drama not to be missed! This is an epic drama loosely based on the history of Korea from the perspectives of different but engaging characters. It is set in the time where Joseon (Korea) is fought over between different countries with America and Japan. The main character is played by Byung-Hun Lee, who is a phenomenal Korean actor and opposite of his role is Tae-ri Kim who is a newer actress. Byung-Hun Lee has many years of experience and is a well known Korean actor and he has appeared in numerous American films such as G.l. Joe and R.E.D. Both the actors bring fierce intensity to their roles with their well acted scenes and show such emotion through their lines, looks and even their stares. The supporting cast is also superb as they tell their own stories in this conflicted time. All in all the drama has great production value and truly keeps you mesmerized through it's weekly episodes. If you are a fan of Korean dramas or even if you aren't familiar with them, then this is a great series that you can watch.
10/10 This is an amazing show that it's not being mentioned enough When I first saw the trailers for this show my reaction was, oh no, another story about the struggles of poverty and war, and while there's a lot to that is told in a very interesting way where you can see the details of Korean lower class and it's interaction with the Japanese middle class. I love reading subtitles to have the experience of the original actor/voice/culture so much is lost in dubbed scenes, and in this show they make sure you can understand when someone is speaking Japanese or Korean and why the miscommunication happens on normal circumstances. The show subtitles Japanese in blue and Korean in yellow so it makes an unique experience, besides the dialogues and acting are very good. This show explains to us (mainly westerners) the conflicts and collaborations between the Koreans and Japanese told from the Korean side and how they suffered the Japanese oppression but also how they thrived despite it, lovely show, can't wait for the second season.
9/10 An epic Korean saga that avoids the K-drama pitfalls... Pachinko avoids the cliches of the K-drama, instead settles for an European soap drama style with plenty of depth, chronicling the plight of a Korean family under the Japanese occupation and juxtaposing that with life in 1989, all in brilliant cinematic storytelling. This series does not shy away from the effects of Japan's forced occupation on Korea. It plays out with an emotional impact from the viewpoint of Sunja's life via the unique structure in blending timelines. From Sunja's youth under Japan's stranglehold to that of her grandson in 1989. It depicts the various stages of Japan's influences on Sunja's family life, from war torn times to the might of the financial impact that Japan displayed during the 80's. It is an engrossing drama that reveals the horrors of life under a brutal occupation, and the long term effects it has on generational lives. All through the eyes of a strong protagonist, Sunja, played brilliantly by the various actors.
Its one of the best thriller series of all time. I thought SIGNAL was the best thriller series I ever watched. But this was also awesome. I saw other language thrillers, but they were never this intense. Story, screenplay, acting,.... everything was good.

10/10. Absolutely loved it.
This show is everything I didn't know I needed-romance, comedy, history, food, and just the right amount of chaos.
Im Yoon-ah is incredible here; she completely lights up the screen as Yeon Ji-yeong. Her character is funny, smart, and so easy to root for. And the chemistry with Lee Chae-min?
Off the charts. Every scene they share feels electric, whether they're bickering, cooking, or slowly letting their guard down.
I also adore how the story is structured around food. Each episode feels like a full-course meal-there's drama, sweetness, spice, and always something that makes you hungry. The supporting cast adds so much flavor too, from the scheming nobles to the people in the palace kitchen.
Sure, it's a little over-the-top sometimes, but that's part of its charm. I came here for a fun drama, and I got way more than that. It made me laugh, it made me swoon, and it honestly left me wanting a second season already.
If you're looking for something unique and heartwarming with a dash of fantasy, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty is a must-watch.
