do not wait just watch it, if you love passionate love stories
•How I started
I was scrolling through facebook and came across a video where FL dress starts shreadding as one thread gets stuck to ML bags. It made my heart flutter and I immediately searched for this lovely lakron and binged it for straight two days.
•Story
as you read above, the show open with ML selling clothes at street, as the municipal police raids, he runs with the stuff and brushes with FL and her dress thread gets snagged to his bag. She stops him and demands a compensation. ML who barely makes end meet agrees and asks for a few days time.
They meet again in the university but they have bitter start.
ML father is a dementia patient and requires care, when the FL finds out about his family she starts helping and eventually falling for him head over heels and thats the beauty of the show, as for ML he falls for her at the first sight.
They are about to get married but ominous incident happen and ML disappear, FL is waiting for him as if she is in a long distance relationship. The way FL adopts the life of ML and lives off making sketches at street is beautiful. Her eyes shines whenever she shows her ring and says she is married, but it gives heartache too, you will know if you watch it.
Three years later ML returns but she has GF, so how FATE brings them together.
•PLOT VIEWS
"Mitayuke Oyasin" which is mentioned in series saying that it is phrase from INDIA, is incorrect. Its a phrase from LAKOTA language used by Lakota people of North America meaning “all are related”
The love story is based on the mythology RED THREAD OF FATE, where the deity of marriage, has tied an invisible red thread to little finger to those who are destined to meet.
The love-story develops amazingly and gives butterflies. But then sad part comes and gives enormous bucket of tears. Seeing the pain of DAY and MIN it just shatters the heart to thousand pieces. I really got blown away in this sweet story. I felt pain seeing them apart. I loved how MIN stubbornly sticks to the one she loves not in irritating way but pleasantly. once she realized her true love she adopts DAY lifestyle to be with him. it was like her husband went to a war and she don know when he would return but is patiently waiting.
Side character such as namon and phon were weird and annoying but they did spice up the story with their tricks. I feel Phon was an immature person, he didn’t know what he wanted the whole time. He intruded, creates wedge and when finally thing go as he planned he backs off because he can see how much the couples love, insanely stupid but a saint decision.
And for Namon, she was just love deprived and charity love was what she was receiving.
Am a little disappointed with the ending of the evils
•ACTING/CAST
I just loved everyone in this lakron. Leads to supporting characters everyone delighted with with their performance.
•Lee Thanat as DAY steals the the heart and then crushes the heart yet again wins your heart. His expression of cold face matched his role as fighter and rich CEO. His build was good for the role of boxer and poor person. His eyes had the humbleness of street seller.
•Violette Woutier as MIN is amazingly talented and lovely. She looked purely innocent who just falls in love and doesnt give up. She loves DAY, no matter how hurt she is.
The chemistry was enjoyable, they did an exceptional job, and they kinda complemented each other on screen
•MUSIC
Music was solemnly beautiful with poetic translation of the OSTs.
Opening track “Ja yom hai tur kon diew” was full of melody.
“Mai chai reung bang earn” is another piece that I liked. It had an upbeat tone.
There was a combination of upbeat to melancholic music in terms of the atmosphere/mood of the series, each piece is chosen with the utmost care, emphasizing the fun, the suffering, the romance, the absurd.
•REWATCH
This series has touched my heart which very few dramas are able to do. I am extremely overwhelmed as I don’t really know how to express it. So its a must rewatch.
•APPRECIATION
The painting of girl and boy representing the red thread concept were applaudable
The mythological tale about RED THREAD OF FATE is worth knowing. I like folktales and love to know and share it.
•RECOMMENDATION
The trailer and teaser also worth watching, if you haven't watched ENDLESS LOVE yet, I would recommend to watch the teaser and trailer first. The drama is available on GMMTV youtube channel.

light hearted fluffy romance
STORY
A fluffy romantic comedy full of humor. From the first scene this movie pledges to make you laugh until the end and it does the job very well. The ML proposal gone wrong due to a coincidence between FL and his crush. The situation leads ML to live at FL apartment and many humorous events follow. ML comes in picture and he actively pursues our heroine this leads to create a spark between ML and FL.
PLOT VIEW
The story is simple yet humorous. I felt that sometimes we need to be kind and discreet in what we are doing but then this world has some selfish people who take advantage of your kindness. The girl helped her friend so much but what did she get a money. The time and enery a person puts cant be counted with money. The two boys are super cool and I loves the scenes where all three are together. The ending is satisfying and lovely.
ACTING
Dilraba dilmurat was good but sometimes her facial expressions seemed stiff. I have seen her works and she is good but this movie lacked her expressions. She needs improvement or maybe in present she might be excellent.
Leon zhang was charming and funny. He stole the show for me. Awesome acting awesome expression. his body language in doing comedy is perfect, the actions, the way he speaks his dialogue is just perfect.
Vengo gao was also nice and made a good impact. I am gonna check out his other works.
MUSIC
Songs, BGM were nice and put together beautifully.
Two cents songs was lyrically beautiful like a poem.
REWATCH
I watched this movie in 2019 for first time. And watched it like more than 5 times. As soon as I start the movie the hilarious plot consumes me and I end up watching the whole movie.

fluffy rom-com with an amzing lovestory
•I crave some rom-com lakron without slap kiss. And then I found this super cute lakron with an amazing storyline with super amazing starcast.•STORY
Dr Pup is having a conference in another city. There he meets a gorgeous actress Kluay who was shooting. Unfortunately the first encounter is bitter as kluay thought that dr pup is a paparazzi. After that dr pup comes to know that she is sister of his best friend. Then next day due to key card swap they have slept in same room and the news media follow them. The scandal is solved by press conference and gets positive feedback. But this scandal events occur again for second an third time which leads them to do a false marriage. And then they start falling in love eventually while they start living in same room.
•PLOT VIEWS
Fake marriage for benefits with the either party or both. Its not a new thing in dramaland, hundreds of stories are told and many thousands will be made. But the way this story takes place its very fast paced and enjoyable. The chemistry between the leads were excellent. The hate to love journey was narrated beautifully.
I hated how media houses believed every lie which caused chaos in the life of leads, but when they are being told the truth, they were like where are your morals for lying so much to the audience and fans, wasn’t the media houses first to create utter shit. Media houses are the reasons celebrities cant have personal lives, can they please leave them to have some love and life of their own. If they want to share about their dating and marriage stuff they will, when there is the right time.
And its not just for drama in real life also paparazzi are really creating ruckus in celebrities life, such nuisance should be sent behind bars.
•ACTING
Son yuke as dr pup was charming happy-go-lucky person. He portrayed his character with ace, his expressions were top notch and the dialogues given to him were amazing, full of sarcasm and wit.
Mook as Kluay was amazing. She never disappoints me with her acting. she is fit for the role, smart, intelligent and straight forward. The emotional adventure she takes the audience into is excellent.
Carissa as Ploy was evil and her eyes were completely doing the work. She portrayed a jealous and evil sisters character very well.
•MUSIC
Ost was nice and pleasent. BGM was amazing and perfeclty blended
•REWATCH
Yes its so awesome, fast paced and less episodes. It definitely deserves a rewatch.

Watch it 8_10ep before giving up.
●I took my time for the show to grow on me, so it was 8 ep (or say 4ep of 1hour) that clenched me to watch it until end. I was literally slow watching 1ep a day and wanted to give up but health-care is my profession so didn’t want to drop it. Good drama, enjoyable but failed to impress on psychiatry and the treatment basis. I liked all the deep and meaningful conversations happening throughout not just the leads but everyone. They were touching and meaningful.●Story- everyone read the synopsis and two people meet on jeju islands and coincidently keeps on meeting. So they decide to be DINNER MATE, then there is return of the Ex's. then the story is slow and there is one more couple of a homeless man and a Female CEO, who also bond over food. This drama is more of love of food.
●Acting- everyone was amazing. My favourite is
▪︎Park-ho-san as Keanu, the homeless man. He nailed the character of homeless man. His makeup, hair, clothes, were bang on which actually made me sympathize with him.Well his laughter reminds of JANG HYUK.
▪︎Seo-ji-hye as woo do hee was amazing, I actually enjoyed her eating food scenes, as if thats the most delicious meal. She was confident and determined and knew what she wants. She always spoke her mind.
▪︎Song-seung-heon as kim hae kyung was good. I liked his character as a person but not as a psychiatrist. As the writer did poor job in researching and treating the patients. It wasn’t his fault but that aspect affected the character a lot.
●Music- each OST was exceptional. Lyrics and music perfect.
Ovan-ost1 and Yummy-ost2, its lyrics was amazing. It felt so good when I read the translation. The hunger and invitation of dinner in the lyrics was WOW. An applause to the song-writers.
Midnight Cinderella-ost5 was like a dream song. It felt as if its written for me.
Dear my star-ost3 and more than words-ost4 were also worth listening.
●Rewatch- I would watch it but not anytime soon, this drama also has lot of plot-holes, maybe I get to understand while re-watching it.
● Appreciation- I loved the proposal scene, while having food, it goes well with concept of dinner mate. Not usual like Ring and going knees.It was Simple and lovely.
●Criticism- writers should have put more effort on the clinical aspect of food, as the ML was treating them with food, he felt as nutritionist more than psychiatrist.
As this drama was also a bonding over food, I wished if they showed more good shots of food.
I was confused with the character of jae-hyuk, yes I understood him during his few scenes that he is a stalker but were the writers trying to make him into culprit or a sympathizing character.
Keanu past wasn’t written properly. He is homeless man, then he wears suit and comes to meet ML, then he again starts on his career as psychiatrist.

Poor Acting By leads
●I started it because of Mik and the mafia synopsis where i expected to see some good action and mafia romance. But I was disappointed with the story and leads. I continued this because of the second couple(fai and biao)and second male lead(chen ming).●Story- girl entangled in a love triangle with a leader of mafia organization. Hence she becomes a target from those who want power. Gangster really don’t have ethics, involving woman to hurt someone, bad script everything was revolving around her. Second couple story was good, their simple yet adorable romance with limited screen time couldnt suppress them.
●Acting- mik as daniel tried his best but his charming face doesn't let him look like a mafia. He didn’t suit the role. Only his fighting sequence were watchable. He looked at fahsai as if looking at his ex.
Pimprapa As fahsai was terrible. Her expressions were same in every situation. Only when there is tears and laugh, then she looked different.
They had no chemistry, it seemed their story is forced just because they are leads.
I rated the acting,excluding main leads.
Mek as Chen biao was awesome. His sadness,pain and healing were conveyed well. He actually looked like a mafia with his cold gazes and amazing fight sequence.
Naamwan as Puifai was cute, flirting with biao and very strong supporting character. Her chemistry with biao was sizzling.
Boom Chen ming also played his part well. His character was slow wit. He had more chemistry with the fahsai than daniel.
●Music- the only song I remember I pleng rak pleng raek. This song little enregetic and played in BGM during the chen biao and puifai scenes.
●Rewatch- NO
●Criticism- ah this would be the first drama where I disliked main lead they had no chemistry. How did the directors say OK to these terrible acting.how did the casting directors cast them. I felt a need to drop this but I liked second couple and second main lead more.
Supporting cast was more better than the Leads.

This review may contain spoilers
Ending Explained
●Story- a time travel romantic comedy where a man from future travels back in time. But then again while returning to future time, the past younger version of himself follows him to future. And that is something quite interesting. Both of them try to dig in to some truths and save their love.it has flaws but still executed nicely with sweet moments with No annoying characters.●Acting- everyone performance was good making this story worthy of watching. Seo ji hoon as Kang shin woo, younger version was so cute and made the atmosphere more lively. He had chemistry with the doctor while Lee jung shin has chemistry with the student ji-soo
●Music- ost were beautiful, BGM was also nice.
●Rewatch - maybe just the rom-com because most of the time it feels a painful love-story
●Fav scene-Bickering in future while shaving.
▪︎Many reviews said that they were confused with ending so I went a bit slow on last episode to understand it more better. The younger version after returning to his time i.e. 2007, plans his future to not mess with the things for future self, and believes that he is together with ji-soo and all misunderstanding has been cleared. In 2009, He goes to college where ji soo studies but doesnt meet her. 2013, A blind date also they don’t meet, because he still love ji-soo. 2017, he finally meets her where the story has started. Its like one full circle.
Am not very good at explaining but still I tried to explain the ending which is in respects to younger Kang shin woo.
And for clearance he doesn’t travel back in time when he finally is in 2017, the drama ends there itself when he meets jisoo that is the time travelling day.

Prince on a white horse
•Many reviews said its not as good as it should be, yes we all have high expectations as its LMH AND KGE drama.since LMH returned from his military service so more was expected.And for kim go eun she was seen in goblin, one of the best kdrama till now, and TKEM is no where in comparison to Goblin.
Leave all the biseness aside and watch it with fresh mind.
•Story- read the synopsis, parallel universe have people meet by destiny and how they stay together and how they separate the wrong doers of the two world.
With the first episode LMH comes riding a white horse,My first thought was like this drama fulfills a girl dream of meeting a prince charming on a white horse.So based on this one thought i watched and enjoyed this drama.
•Acting- LMH and KGE had an amazing chemistry which really pulled the mass to watch it. Their time freeze scenes were done beautifully and makes me watch it again and again. as am a diehard fan of uniform, I must say LMH looked wow in navy uniform.
I liked kang shin jae,myung na ri. They just put more interest to the the story.myung na ri was really great to watch.
•Music-orbit by hwasa was up beat. Maze by yongzoo was soulful. These two osts are worth listening.
•Rewatch-I am watching it for the third time.it has amzing chemistry and story. So yes.
Was this review helpful to you?
●Story- synopsis is written fairly without giving any spoilers to the amzing story. Its a story for power struggle in the typical rich family but you wont be able to guess why and who is the baddy until you watch it. It was thrilling and exciting with each episode.
●Acting- byun ji sook/ seo eun ha was good playing the part fairly. Nothing sort of wow.
Choi Min woo was good. I had seen him in GOONG and liked his acting skills. The part where he plays psychiatric symptoms are nice.
Chemistry was good. Falling in love after the wedding was done nicely.
Choi Mi yeon face was like she was always on drugs. Her expressions and acting didn’t go well for me.
●Music- actually saying I don’t remember.
●Rewatch- no,its just a single watch for me, maybe the romantic scenes of the leads.

No slap/kiss
•The story was hooking. As in several other stories where actress agrees to be mistress in order to pay debt, here its totally different and crazy.For few episodes I was actually wondering why it was named as cubic and yes its explained well in the show. I wont give a spoiler you go ahead and watch it to find out. The explanation is perfect BTW.
•Lin Lan Ser Mafia leader while daytime principal of a school was giving me laughs. And the students going behind him to take snaps doesnt make sense. His cold face was sometimes really not working for me. Nark, Hardworking girl trying to payoff her dads debt was a convincing character for which she also gets involved in illegal arms. That part was amazing but I guessed that part correctly being a medical professional. She was cheerful and expressive in all the scenes she did. Danny was another character which I liked in the show. I felt bad for mei jing and her tragic life.
•I enjoyed it.It perfectly made sense that there was no romance as she was high schooler and he is a mafia. So the employer employee relationship was presented well.
•Music - was ok not something I remember.
Rewatch - not really as am not a fan of action and mafia type drama. With almost zero romance, But for a rewatch I wont prefer it
•NOTE- its a No slap/Kiss lakron so it was more watchable.

Broken the prejudice regarding thai drama
•The most adorable, the most cutest and most amazing story till now of all the thai dramas that I have watched. This was just wonderful. It had romantic, thriller, action story where you cant stop praising the writers and cast.I had this biased thought regarding thai dramas but it broke my prejudice and gave me a complete entertainment.•I cried when during many of the scenes especially when during the last reunion scene in the hospital. That scene was really heart breaking for me.
•Both the leads were great as a couple. Mark prin just stole the drama for me with his playboy turned good husband role. Mew nittha was really great with her facial expression.
•Music as in i liked mark prin yesterday. It was beautiful. I dont really go for thai music but this one catches the heart
•Rewatch ofcourse yes.

Story is just amazing
Fast paced and well scripted story immediately grabs the audience in the first episode.and its the same with this drama itaewon cass. Seeing him in school actually made me confuse for a bit but as the story progress and he becomes a convict I got totally excited that whats going to happen next. And with each episode this enthusiasm kept on increasing. The transgender and racism character also gave me a reason to watch the show as it was quite refreshing.I liked that the story has less romance and more focused on the storytelling. Its hard to see dramas like this.
Park seo joon was as usual awesome. He just melted in the role of park sae ro yi. Kim Da Mi as Yi so was tough yet soothing character. It was her first drama and I really liked her.am gonna check out her other works.
Startover ost was has made its way into my playlist. Its usage in the BGM was perfect.
Rewatch after some time when the meomry fades away.

Ji Sung as Cha Do Hyun was comendable. each personalily was perfectly potrayed. Every character was very well communicated with the actions and expressions and ofcourse fashion. He gave life to all the seven person with his powerful expression and performance. It makes you believe that its truely the other person just by the gaze.
Jung Eum as Oh Ri Jin was cute, comical, matured and contenance were just mindblowing. As a Psychiatrist she did a great job but as love interest she was remarkable healing every piece of cha do hyun. The farewell of each person seemed very agonizing and yes i cried with her.
Park seo joon as Oh Ri On was not just a brother but a friend and support who calmed her helped her whenever she is low. He was perfectly jaw dropping.
Now the ost, ofcouse auditory hallucination got into my playlist since after i finished the series. The rap and lyrics fit flawlessly to wherever it was tuned. It was actually hallucinating.
This drama is a trimph in the medical content drama. DID not just a psychiatric disorder but can be a tragedy too. This drama illustrates it delicately. The pains which make a person try to suicide, and then a person who is mad for idols and a person who loves deeply and violently. The HEAL ME was illustrated to all of these painful pieces flawlessly.
Rewatch hmmmm
You just try watching the first episode you will get addicted yourself.
Will watch again after a month till then absorbing the auditory hallucination.

friendship is this series is muahhh
●HOW I CAME TO ITAmong dozens of dramas going on why did I have to come across POLICE UNIVERSITY, maybe because I have a sheer admiration for uniform. We have seen lots of drama about high school, medical school, law school, Fashion Schools, and Army Schools, but this drama was about cop school I couldn’t resist watching until its finished. I know it's a big mistake because I just loved the two episodes. AWESOME.
●FIRST IMPRESSION
The first episodes open up with an advertisement for Korean National Police University's new recruitment, followed by a high school judo competition and a gambling scene at a casino. In the first 15minutes, only this drama set a high bar promising to give us an amusing ride of friendship, thrilling action, chasing criminals, and tough trained police officers.
●PLOT VIEW
I get the idea that Kang Hee, Sun Oh, and Dong Man will build a great team at the university, and eventually, they will help him crack his case of gambling. Dong Man may seem harsh, but he has seen through Sun oh, he doesn't want him to become a harmful officer, his intense grueling will lead him to become an honest officer. if Dong Man let him loose, he might have felt inferior but instead of being harsh why is he soft towards him. there will also be some family secrets surfacing in future episodes.
the overall plot is very interesting we could see the rookie officers crack a big case, despite being punished. they made great team. I loved how Sun-Oh character get a development. I love the view on giving up life when things become hard. getting punished is better than doing suicide. humans need guts to suicide but it takes even more guts to take the punishment and live this precious life.
●ACTING/CAST
I am looking forward to everyone's great acting. I get the feeling of Hwarang by seeing the boys doing mischief and yet supporting each other.
Krystal as Oh Kang Hee looks tough yet gentle. I last saw her in the prison playbook and she had grown a lot as an actress. Her expression and body language are nice. her story seems like of a problematic family
Jung Jin Young as Kang Sun Oh had such has a baby face that he looked like a high schooler. His looks add to his genius hacker personality yet a solitary soul. I hope he shows great growth and becomes a model police officer.
Cha Tae Hyun as Yoo Dong Man a righteous police officer wants to crack cases but ends up in the Police university. His role suits him well. he will give the students important life lessons, making them into good officers. I also hope he also gets some brains considering how irrational he acts sometimes in 2nd episode.
●MUSIC
Winner OST by Han Seung Hoon had an upbeat tone. It perfectly blended in the scenes as BGM and gives a more passionate feel.
I am waiting for more ost eagerly to see what's in the store for us.
●REWATCH
Rewatch will decide later. But one thing is for sure, we will get to see some epic friendship, which I definitely would love to see again.
● UPDATE
~I would rewatch a few of my favorite scenes showing the friendship. I really adore that about the show.

•The historic era with a goryeo warrior was an amazing start with all the supernatural elements perfectly blended. The bromance more than romance was total mindblaster with all those quick and witty situations i had my stomach ache laughing immensely.
•This tale was perfect, for me its flawless. I always thought that for kdrama the lead shoud be handsome and beautiful, this drama broke my pretty boy syndrome. Gong Yoo outshined as dukkebi and i became a fan of him. His acting was just awesome. As for kim go eun, i had watched her in cheese in the trap where she played a university student was excellent but here as a high-schooler it left me with speechless. She looked like a high-schooler. I dont understand what kind of makeup the artist do that they actually give you a younger feel. Lee Dong Wook!!! Ouch he was real masterpiece. His eyes were more speakable, splendid acting and expression. And his chemistry with yoo in na was very nice. Next am gonna watch theirs touch your heart.
•Ost is nice especially stay with me.
• As for rewatch i already had watched it thrice.

lightweight, humor with touch of retro action
A wine bottle from 1988, I know the taste is good. I wouldn't mind sipping it again someday. It's a light humor action movie that gives the audience an escape to feel the retro fast and furious in 80’s style.The story had nothing special to offer, few youngsters who dream to live big get entangled between prosecutors and villains, trying to save themselves from both. Riding on modified fast cars, and wearing 80’s fashion on the Olympic opening day is the chosen for the movie climax D-day, and that's the reason for the movie title as SEOUL VIBE.
It isn't super complicated but within the first half one can probably guess what's gonna happen next. Although the story is not fresh its stellar cast which performed outstandingly without a doubt wouldn't let anyone down for watching the movie. They kept me entertained from beginning to end with pro acting and semi-humor.
The Chicago Typewriter duo reunion of Yoo Ah In and Go Kyung Pyo in one frame reminds me of TCT as if am rewatching the drama again. The fake gold chain is super funny on both of them. They are both amazing and YAI never disappoints its viewers, he always had the depth of the character he portrays. He is leading the team and drove like he is fast and furious.
GKP gave its usual pleasant and easygoing performance.
Ong Seung Wu had a messy curly hairstyle portraying the youngest of the team. His small and thin build added the necessity of the youngest and loving member. I loved seeing him because he lit up the screen with humor.
Park Ju Hyun, rode the bike like a pro. She had a good wardrobe of the ’80s and I loved her to see in that crop tops which enhanced her long hairstyle.
The 1988 Olympics of Seoul is just a time taken to intensify the fashion, funk, racing cars, and color palette of the movie which serves its purpose. Because it picks up the viewers and takes them on the nostalgic, retro ride of the 80s.
If anyone wants a deep story, with lots of action this isn't the one for you. Because its story is weak and has mild action. But yes it has amazing car chasing sequences, which are thrilling to watch.
