10/10 Great cinematography, great acting, great production
Word of Honor is a wuxia drama, based on Priest's novel named Tian Ya Ke. It means you will see many martial arts scenes, everything will satisfy you emotionally. I guaranteeThe characters Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing, which are the leading roles, are very skillfully written and acting in the same way. You can see how much the actors attach importance to their roles in their acting. Zhang Zhehan, who portrays a character like Zhou Zishu, who is desperate but has found hope in the last years of his life but has limited time ve Gong Jun, who portrays a character like Wen Kexing, who lived his life in a dark/insane place and still one of his part a little child, both of lead actors... THEY SHOW INCREDIBLE ACTING!! I think the reason i love this drama so much is that every relationship is so deep. Zhou Xu/Wen Kexing, Wen Kexing/Gu Xiang, Zhou Xu/Cheng Ling. All of them is so pure and the acting is so good that it feels as if you are experiencing all those emotions. Not just the lead roles, all the actors/actress are like your best friend.
One of my favorite things about Word of Honor is definitely cinematography. They make you feel like the camera is your eyes. The arrival of daylight, the positioning of the actors, everything is to make you feel as if you are living there, and you feel that too. It will be a festival for your eyes and heart
The production team gave their best to this drama. If you are watching a Chinese drama for the first time, it may be difficult to notice but I, as someone who has been here for 6 years, can see how much effort they have made for this drama. If I'm not mistaken, there are subtitles in 13 languages right now, and they do everything to give viewers comfort.
There is a lot to say but I did my best to make this spoiler free. It will leave a mark in your life, you can be sure of that.

10/10 A Hidden Diamond
10/10 A Hidden DiamondOnce 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
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.

10/10 brilliant show
10/10 brilliant show10/10. 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.

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 A Really Interesting Thai Drama
10/10 A Really Interesting Thai DramaHe'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!
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
10/10 This is an amazing show that it's not being mentioned enoughWhen 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...
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.

10/10 An Iconic Masterpiece
10/10 An Iconic MasterpieceThis drama will go down in history as an iconic masterpiece of kdrama cinema. From the opening scene, this drama draws you in and takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
Just 4 episodes so far and already it is obvious that this drama is the future benchmark that all Korean dramas will be compared to.
The story, the cinematography, the acting, are all of the highest standard.
Park Bo-gum takes his latest role to a new level and shows such enormous talent in his portrayal of Gwansik. Women worldwide will lose their hearts and minds for him.
IU delivers, showing she can sing and act and do both at the highest possible level.
Every cast member in this drama should be proud of their achievement, because every single one has given a realistic and incredibly entertaining view into another historical time.
The scene on the pier is sure to go down in cinematic folklore as THE unmatched romantic scene of love winning against all odds.
Move over Romeo and Juliet... a new iconic love story is born!

10/10 Outstanding performance! Refreshing Story!
Outstanding performances from the entire cast, especially the male lead, Tor. Spare Me Your Mercy tackles the sensitive and thought-provoking topic of euthanasia, presenting both sides of the argument-those who support it and those who oppose.As a BL series, it's truly a rare gem and one of the best BLs l've ever watched. The kissing scenes are passionate and intense, adding to the emotional depth of the characters.
The series, though only 8 episodes, felt too short. I truly wish it were longer. Please support it on iQlYl. A true masterpiece. Hope that the production team will consider a special episode for this amazing series.

10/10 Pond's flawless performance as Day
Pond's portrayal of Day in Leap Day is nothing short of extraordinary. His performance is deeply emotional, layered, and incredibly genuine. One of Pond's greatest strengths as an actor is his ability to express a wide range of emotions without saying a single word. Through just a look, a pause, or a subtle shift in his expression, he conveys the inner world of his character with remarkable depth and clarity.His face is undeniably charismatic; not just in terms of appearance, but in the way it holds and expresses emotion.
Every scene he appears in feels alive because of the raw intensity he brings. The pain, the love, the confusion, the sadness, the happiness, the longing; it's all there, written on his face like poetry.
Pond doesn't simply act; he becomes Day. He brings such honesty and depth to the role that it's impossible not to connect with his character. His presence elevates every moment, and his performance plays a major role in making Leap Day such a captivating and emotionally charged series.
Pond truly deserves the highest recognition and rewards for his flawless and powerful acting.
