glory is about dongeun who was severely bullied in high school and came back 18 years later to take revenge. in the first season we see how dongeun grew up after she was severely bullied and the second season executes it all out. for me s1 was more of a build up situation and s2 was executed perfectly. the revenge was so satisfying and the final ep?? mwah almost cried
i loved the acting sm. all the actors potrayed their characters so well. like u hate them for being the villain but u love them too cuz their acting is just so good. i loved everyone in the cast sm
the only flaw maybe was jooyeon's backstory. he needed more. like im not really satisfied with it. if ur really opening up his side of life u should execute it like u did what dongeun's story. it was totally unnecessary to bring up his past imo
other than that i loved this whole series. would definitely recommend but do check the trigger warnings

i can understand when people dwy this is overrated cuz everyone and their mamas know about this drama but really it deserves the recognition. ive gotten accustomed to jumpscares and sudden betrayals in dramas sm i expected smth to happen at least but nothing happened lmao. hospital playlist is all about 5 doctors and their personal lives and i loved how much insight we got in every operation and everything. i loved how they had a personal life to enjoy too after all their struggles the whole week
i have nothing much to say this is just a feel good drama showing struggles of doctors and the strong friendship between 5 besties. i have a lot of hope for season 2
i loved senghwa and ikjun sm. their foodie besti thing ugh i love them sm. also the parents being friends <33 ah my heart i love all of them sm im gonna cry

so the ml and fl start off on a rough patch when fl accidentally kills ml's fiance. now fl being the generous righteous person she is she helps the ml's finace's family to "pay for her sins" now ml hates her sm he tries everything in his power to bring fl down but fl's father concealed everything thus ml becomes powerless. more and more these two get tangled with each other and gradually fall in love while ml realises how much of a good person fl is
the most annoying characters in the whole drama were piak and nong pim. those two women made me lose hair with frustration ugh. also clumsy bua is fine but dumb and annoying bua?? ugh i could cry this whole thing was so frustrating but then again i knew what i was getting into so i shouldnt complain lmao.
all in all awesome lakorn. i had this on my watchlist for years and im glad i finally watched it. totally worth my time

this is probably the longest drama ive ever watched and the fact i watched it on a total whim after seeing some humor edits on yt.
there is really no way i could sum up the whole series in a few lines cuz 56 episodes was a lot and i assure u none of them were fillers. every episode had its purpose and even tho it might seem a bit overwhelming to watch all of that it is all so worth it
lets start with the characters. i watched the whole drama for 2 weeks. at first i was determined to finish it in a few days but the number of episodes overwhelmed me and i dragged it around lmao. i still remember vividly the first few episodes. ling buyi and cheng shaoshang meeting for the first time, them starting on a rough path which gradually led to zisheng noticing shaoshang everywhere if she is in close proximity and that evolving to him going everywhere to protect her. their relationship was so pure and full of heartful moments. they might not have been intimate but really everything they went through together put them above everyone else. im not even bluffing i could feel like im growing with them throughout the drama it was so slow paced and their oove was portrayed as such a warm and lovely feeling
my other fav characters include yuan shen, the empress, empress and concubine yue. ugh i love the rulers' trio sm. all 3 of them have their own virtues and talents which led them to be he most powerful trio ugh i loved them so so much. its all thanks to the emperor and empress that shaoshang and zisheng grew up to be so sensible and caring for their surroundings. concubine yue was one of my absolute favs cuz she roasts people day and night like its her side job and we love her for that (she isnt rude she just pricks people with the right words at the right moment and ofc to people who deserve it) the relation between the empress and concubine was also divine. time and time again we were proven people can co-exist if they are good enough.
yuan shen was also one of my most fav characters. he always had that warm "im gonna protect shaoshang like a brother" aura for me. he might've been in love with her but honestly? he was more like a brother / bsf. he used to talk to her whenever she had worries and they used to fight sm ah ill miss them. u get REALLY attached when its a 56 ep drama lmao
last but not the least the cheng family and ofc yuanyi. i would like to say every mother in this drama got to learn parenting by taking caring of others' kids and every mother had a diff approach. yuanyi was wrong on a lot of accounts but i was glad she actually admitted to where she went wrong and tried to reconcile with shaoshang in the end.
i hated the third prince sm cuz i thought he was a bad person for beating up zisheng until i saw the real scene and realised it was all staged. the third prince had the best character development and honestly i went from extreme hate to extreme love for him he is one of my fav characters now lmao
love like the galaxy is one of a kind. it has just the right amount of drama and all a surplus amount of revenge plot. it has absolutely no unnecessary drama and i love it sm. u really cant go in expecting anything. everything turns out to be opposite of what normally happens in other dramas. i used to think romance of tiger and rose was lusi's best drama but this one changed my mind. idk if its lusi's unmatched chemistry with her leads or what but she always has a way of presenting the best. i really went to watch this show for shaoshang and ended up falling for wu lei no kidding.

i loved the drama. however there were a lot of plot holes.now i didnt mind them much cuz i went un for the visuals anyway.
the story is about xiaobao who cant talk. he experienced smth traumatic when he was 2 yrs old (?) and since then he hasnt uttered a word. his dad (uncle) is raising him and looking into that accident. the fl, yiyue is a child specialist who encountered xiaobao once and xiaobao took an instant liking to her. now the stoy progesses with xiaobao wanting yiyue ti be his mummy and qaoyian trying every means to get her to be by their side
this drama has a contract marriage trope with visually pleasing leads. and yall know where there is contract marriage there is me. honestly i loved the banter sm. xiaobao is the absolute cutest and him actually helping his dad to win his mom was so wholesome.
there is a suspence sub plot but imo it isnt executed well. the secrets are revealed too abruptly and almost like it doesnt matter anymore.
if u want smth light to binge watch with good banter this is for you
romance? 11/10
chemistry? 11/10
suspence? not so much

did i finish this drama or did this drama finish me is one of my most favorite lines to start with when i love something i watched too much. i just cannot with this drama, i started this thinking this will be just like the other ones but this one is one of the best dramas i have ever watched not even kidding im so seriousso if we start from the first we meet bai shuo who wants to become an immortal due to her personal reasons and is led to fan yue who is an actual demon lord. then she somehow gains the power of one of the most powerful stones, the contemplation stone, which is very much needed by fan yue too btw and the two fall into a partnership to unleash the powers of the stone. even if they unleash all the powers of the stone there is still a longer plotline that is uncovered after that
lemme start of with the story. even though it was a bit slow in the starting it gained momentum pretty soon so much so that i watched 18 episodes in a day (do not blame me the plot just got THAT good). it is a medium paced romance with a seemingly fast paced story. i fucking love the whole story and plotline sm. there are no plotholes that i can think of (tho it wouldve been appreciated if they could kill less people like mf nobody was left in the end i was fucking devastated) i think the ending is more of an open kinda thing like as much as bai shuo thinks she might be trapped in her own subconciusness / dreams and seeing fang yue i think that too (but thats mostly because this drama has given me immense trust issues atp) i can proudly say this is the right amount of storyline that should be expected from a 40 episode xianxia
now coming to the characters, although i loved a few in the beginning i quickly came to love all of them sm. i always thought the eternals were useless and hated them for being selfish all the time which was realised by the them in the end so idk if its a win or not but still i hate them waa. i loved the main characters ofc, i never knew a man could look that pretty lmao. every characters' dresses and makeup were just so fucking immaculate and just on spot im planning on changin majors and going into the cdrama dressing industry.
i cannot praise bai shuo and fang yue enough individually it would literally exceed the word limit. i loved them both sm. their growth from being pre-occupied with themselves all the time to growing to be friends / partners and then falling in love and literally living or dying together was just so beautiful i loved their storyline sm i hope everyone finds a love like them cuz wdym bro searched 6,000 years for her even breaking through heaven's laws like bitch me when. anyways. i also loved how bai shuo was not a weak female lead per-se like even though she was not the strongest she was never a coward as well. she was always ready to be on the forefront to fight for herself or her loved ones and fan yue was never there to be like ill do it for you but he was there like yea lemme do it if its too much for u im always here if u need me, like u do not understand how much that means to a person when their partner believes in them with all their being.
lastly lemme praise the cgi, graphics, cinematography anything u wanna call it. i went in just for the aesthetics of the drama and that mightve been the best thing ive ever watched in my whole fucking life and ive not even lived enough.
i love them sm i hope love like this that lasts for fucking eternities finds everyone tyvm ill go cry a river now

the story is about seo ari who went from rich to poor and after meeting her hs friend after a long time (she is an e celeb now) she starts getting pushed into the influencer world and becomes popular very fast. however good things come with a price and thats how her life starts getting derailed.
i kinda like how nowadays there are so jany series which show us the truth of the online world but then again my trust issues are becoming higher lmao. this was kinda educational and i loved the rush of thrill throughout the whole series, the thriller was sooo good.
the tension between junkyoung and ari was unimaginable too ugh. i loved them sm i need more of them cries.
all in all. very good show with awesome osts and a solid plot. i do think the end couldve been longer tho but overall awesome

this was such a coy watch i loved it. i havent watched a slice of life drama in so long this was just the thing i needed, only the episodes were a bit too long nglthe story was so good i do not remember the last time i had watched a childhood frieds to lovers drama and this delivered the tropes so well. the way she only saw him as a friend up until he confessed and she started rethinking all her life choices. i also love how their exes were such support systems throughout the drama supporting them in whatever they did without tearing the whole city apart. there was no silly break-up moment or anything i just loved everything about it. this is nothing exceptional and could be watched at a slow pace just to cleanse one's palletes
i loved somin and haein sm. haein really needs to do more work like this i love his smile sm. they were such a visual couple and their smiles oh my god. they were the perfect match for this drama. i wouldnt say they were like "i could not picture them with anyone else after this" but they had such exceptional chemistry it just made it feel right.
i will miss them sm, all of them, the mothers, the siblings, the couples, yeondu, everyone. this was such a cozy drama aaaaaaaaaaaaa

this drama had a good plotline and i thought how bad can it be from the comments and reviews but i truly underestimated them.the story starts off with our main character finding a phone (how? why? really?) that had the administration dashboard of their school's popular community group and from that day onwards she started exploiting people's secrets to become their friends
first off the bat how can an 18year old be so dumb as to not realise that she was exploiting people's secrets and their personal lives. everyone has their own issues and problems and just because u found out about it that does not give you the right to bring it up to start the conversation. this is what happened the whole drama
there was a mystery / romance subplot to this. the mystery was good it had potential to be better it wouldve been ever better if they could lengthen the drama and create e solid base on the administrator dashboard thing
lastly about the acting. i never talk about acting cuz imo everyone starts somewhere but im very sorry to say but this fl was not it for me she needs some more practice. im so sorry to say this. this is someone's hardwork but to be very honest i did not even like the acting

i finished watching this in under 4 days i was so captivated by it.i had just finished watching blossom when i had reluctantly started this cuz 1. i wanted to forget i will never see the blossom leads together again(maybe) and 2. im just like that i try to distract msyelf instantly when i finish a drama.
at first as i had just finished blossom and the styles of both the drama are very dissimilar i kept comparing the two. i was even finding faults till ep 11. however, the pace started fastening after that and god knows ive been in misery ever since. this was such a perfect drama im just flabbergasted rn. i hate the last ep with all my guts. the only reason this is getting 9 points is cuz that ending deserved to be a dragged at least another episode. ik romance was not even a subplot in this drama still we were served but it was just utterly brutal that they would cut uf off just like that. also there was no fucking reason to kill off xiao heng's lackeys bro (i will never recover from that) like they were such good side characters. when i was watching the extra episode i kept thinking ah wen ji would make a joke here and get beaten up like the writers made me get attached to them for 40 episodes and then killed them off abruptly like morning tea aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
now on to the characters. i fucking loved jiang li/xue fangfei so fucking much. her plot was so solid she was unbeatable. i admire her sm for her independent self like mam had it all under the palm of her hand, tho it was a bit annoying how she kept going to xiao heng every time she fucked up which was 80% times. however we forgive her for her braveries. she really had the big brains and her acting is just immaculate.
next up xiao heng (kept the best for the last) this was my first xingyue drama and he has me under his palms. before this i knew of his existence ofc but i never thought id be watching his dramas anytime soon. normally i watch dramas if my favorite/known actors are there but this time i heard the double would be the best choice to watch after blossom and i followed suite and fuck that was ethereal. i loved every moment of the drama it was so good.
now dont get me started on their relationship. this drama literally looked like they did not even plan on having romance as even a subplot but then decided against it just to cater to viewers' needs and wants and the leads cooperated so well on that. my bsf knows the amount of times ive screamed pls get me a bf because of this man.
normally after every drama i go like i want more but this time im truly satisfied. the plot is stong, the ending couldve been better but for a revenge drama that was fucking good. i hope to see more like these so bad

now that was a lot. certainly mask girl aint for the ones with a weak heart.the story starts with kim mo-mi who is a normal office worker who deems herself ugly and thus colouldnt become an idol as per her dream. currently she streams on online sites while wearing a mask so that she can fulfill her dream while not revealing her face. this quickly becomes controversial as she is often seen to be narcissistic and over-flirteous on camera and even did a nude show based on her personal emotions. this started all the problems. one by one she was met by problrm after problem unless it turned into a series of murders and the only life mo-mi was living was that of a fleeing murderer. soon enough she gets caught and then starts the story of her daughter mi-mo which is just as twisted.
the ending wasnt up to my satisfaction. it felt quite sudden and emotionless but the plot was just awesome and one of a kind. as much as i love korea being more open to thrillers nowadays its very concerning how everything is thriller nowadays. (not saying i dont enjoy them tho)
nevertheless me likey

so i binge watched it cuz mini series and i was very excited to watch the series cuz i love thrillers. this started well and was going well too and even paced up a bit in the last few episodes but it ended with a cliffhanger and rhat was my last straw.
and i have to say it yeri's acting is not that good (ofc nobody is perfect and given she is just starting her acting career she has so much room for improvement and i would love to be on the same journey with her)
the drama was very fast paced and i shouldve known it ends on a cliffhanger that was my res flag but i ignored my red flag but still the thriller was good so ill hope the next season is just as good if not better than this ine cuz i really wanna know what happens next. (if they dont do a season 2 im suing)
ps - lee so mang is my new loml.

i loved it a lot it was so sweet aaaaaaa
momose and akiha go into an arranged marriage due to their own needs. their rules wre the typical dont fall into love with the other person. however akiha does grow feelings for momose and thus starts the story of the two where smart and wanna be independent akiha tries to win over dense momose's feelings.
the drama started off sweet. the second hand embarassment was real omg momose was so persistent to marry someone. however gradually the story became lighter and took a good pace. honestly a lot of people might mind the slow burn but i didnt hate it. momose 's dense character did make me punch the air tho.
all in all it wasnt a bad one. i was definitely hooked for the first part but it did get kinda boring with all the going back and forth with the feelings. still liked it tho
ps - WHY IS THAT MAN THE SECOND LESD EVERYWHERE AH

ok this was good. the overall was good but it was bullshit from ep 11 till ep 17 in the least. I LITERALLY PULLED OUT SOME OF MY HAIR I WAS SO FRUSTRATED AT ONE POINT but it was worth it cuz i loved the ending. i loved how everything was revealed in the end. im telling u people came forward at once to accuse the antagonist ugh it was so peacefulthe plot was good and well acted out. i loved the mmc. he knew what he was doin (we love a fierce man who has power) and its the fact i guessed he might have a company back in hong kong cuz bruh he was raised by a wealthy man over there AND MY GUESS WAS ACTUALLY CORRECT AH
the fl was so beautiful but so dumb my god i couldve kickassed her i was so mad. like besti got bullied and assualted by her adoptive mother and still believed that woman was a saint like how could u mam (dont give me bs crap like u wouldnt know uve never been abused babe ik. ) there is a limit to dumbness and she exceeded it but my girlie was sassy and thats what i care about
all in all this is a thai lakorn mam throw all the logic out the window and watch it for a great experience. its worth it i swear

i remember when berrii watched this when it was airing and she was always screaming about the episodes in her stories and now i get the hype omg this was so good aaaaaaaaaa
the story starts with sei byungju being murdered and from there in starts a string of other cases / truths being untold until all the knots in the story are let loose. i loved how soo many cases led back to one man. also the way they always kept us in iur toes like ud be swooning over a character in this episode and he would be betraying everyone un the next. i like crime dramas anyways and this was just fabulous
the cast was so good i fell in love with all of them. like only han joonhwi, seo jihoe and kang soo were nown actors other than them everyone else was unknown and their acting was so too notch. i loved sunjae and was pretty bummed cuz he didnt have much scenes. also seo jihoe >> i have only seen him in bad roles and assumed he would do one like that again lmao
all in all this is a really good crime drama, will always keep u in ur toes like literally the flow of the cases change every 10 mins or so lmao.
