Stumbled upon this on the feed. Happy to watch this... Much like Shasha wrote: "it is not a BL: it is a gay story. It is not fantasy, it is the real life."

Story about Kan & Tul, 2 young actors who meet at a film workshop. They hit it off immediately & later we found out they actually falls for the each other.

But unfortunately Tul has different plans for his life: he wants to get married and have kids. So in the end they just carries on with their life.

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. In the end this really one reality check for gay life story

One of the drama that just go by in my mind, but I do re-watch it. Haha... Turn out I've watched it last year, but this still in my YT list, so I accidentally re-watch it again. Haha... Let's leave a review so I really remember that I indeed watch this. Haha...

Story about Yuan Chu Yu (CY) & Liang Ze (LZ). CY met LZ back in the university. That time LZ passionately chasing CY & they started dating. However, just when their love reaches its peak, LZ leaves without saying a word.

Many years later, they meet again, but this time LZ turn out to be CY's boss & he hides his identity from CY. After sometimes, LZ finally admitted himself, turn out he hides his identity to protect CY. And with that revealing, their relationship reenact again.

When everything look perfect, comes a woman name Su Qing (SQ) into the picture. SQ is LZ friend sister that been entrusted to LZ. Later we find out SQ is a kind of '绿茶 (lv cha) / green tea' woman that like to disturb LZ & SQ relationship. And from CY side, there's a man name Xue Zhi Yao (ZY) that's like CY. So how in the end their relationship rolling from here...?

That's pretty much the story of this short drama. For short story this actually kinda good, the plot has a clear beginning-middle-ending story, good acting too. But the one that make this fall into bad categories is how everything wrap or edited, more over the usual annoying BGM also make everything worse.

So, decided urself to watch it or not....

Originally, QL wasn't supposed to joins MY studio, but upon discovering that QX as the online artist "Lan" (Blue) he admires, also studied at MY studio, he decided for the first time to rebel against his father arrangement & just joins MY studio. When QL's dad know, at first he angry, but turn out MY not a bad name in artistic world, so in the end QL's dad agreed to let QL studied there.

Being in the same class with QX, QL slowly but sure be friended QX. And after sometimes QL decided to confess his feeling for QX, but only facing rejection from QX. But that rejection not really a rejection, cause of course QX also feel something more for QL. And as their bond deepens, QX in the end also encourage QL to really break the strict yet abusive relationship with QL's dad. So, how in the end their relationship forward, will QL really successfully break his father cocoon...

That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Now what I like & don't

What I like:
+ The chemistry of QL & QX and also MY & Tan Yin
+ The cute Tan Yin

What I don't like:
- The ambiguous ending

Overall this a good drama to watch.

Once more YouTube fishing successful hook me into this drama. Haha... In the end I'm really glad I'm watching this. Simple yet heartwarming story.

Story about Yang Zi Xiang (ZX), a son of a businessman, who looked like a useless 2nd generation who just like to have fun with all daddy money. Deep down ZX is just eager to escape from his familial duties, cause he feel his place is not there & his brother, Yang Zi Cheng, is more fit with the role. And Shao Peng (SP), a young man who are deaf & mute.

Our story start from the moment ZX is sent to Taiwan by his dad for business negotiations but is immobilized by a sniper attack en route. He persuasively asked Feng Jie (FJ), to employ SP as his caretaker, hoping to seize the opportunity to flee for freedom. At first SP hesitant to accept the job, cause he doesn't like ZX. But frustrated in job seeking due to his deafness and muteness, he finally accepted ZX offer.

Later when SP discovers he's being used by ZX, SP angry & decided to leave. ZX felt guilty yet feel attracted by SP genuine care, decided to apologize & asked SP back to take care of him. When SP decided to hear ZX reason & be understanding about the reason later, SP expresses his empathy for ZX & decided to stay & take care of ZX.

Gradually, ZX is getting more and more attracted by SP's genuity and tenderness, particularly moved by his optimistic facade that masks his anger and insecurity about his deafness and his doubts about love. And SP who also moved by ZX vulnerability & ZX honest feeling for himself, slowly but sure feel something different too for ZX.

And when ZX & SP try to understand and accept their feeling for each other, the other trouble comes in the shape of ZX's fiancé & all the misunderstanding start to take its shape. So, how in the end ZX proof his feeling is real to SP & how their relationship begin after this...

That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Now what I like & don't

What I like:
+ The chemistry between ZX & SP
+ The sign language. Oh I love finally there's someone who really appreciate sign language & decided to make drama with it.
+ The good family of Jiang's family. How supportive SP's parent for their relationship.
+ The cute 2nd couple, FJ & Wang Xin Jia.

What I don't like:
- The ending once more feel like hanging. I really hope we get the scene with ZX's dad really give his blessing than just hinted like this.
- ZX & SP relationship feel rush. It just like they suddenly be in a relationship.

Overall this like I said in the beginning, simple yet heartwarming story.

I forgot how I stumbled on this one. But I want to watch a movie, so just randomly selected from my PTW.

Story about a woman [Tian Xiao Le (XL)], who fell in love with her classmate [Cheng Da Ye (DY)], but being a teenager, she tried to hide her feelings.

XL & DY have been friends since DY decided to help XL with her studies. XL & DY get attracted to each other without them realizing it. DY feels attracted by free spirited XL; while XL feels grateful & attracted by DY who helps her sincerely.

In this movie the writer took us through the journey of their love story. Even though XL & DY know they love each other, but being the teenager themselves, they don’t want to admit their love to the others. And later we witness they try to hide their feelings by having another relationship, while still putting the jealousy in their attitude. And later life also forced them to be separated & finally how life / universe in the end forces them to admit their feelings for each other.

I prefer the other title of this drama, 18 Things First Love Taught Me. Cause in this movie XL & DY each tell us what they learn about their feelings for each other, what lesson they get from this first love. XL & DY each share with us 9 lessons. So hence the 18 in the title comes from.

Let me elaborate what the lesson they learn from their love without giving any spoiler / more context. Really just what they told us throughout the movie.

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭: 𝐓𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐗𝐢𝐚𝐨 𝐋𝐞
1st lesson:
When a woman feels vulnerable she’ll surely be moved by the care of a man no matter how little it is.

2nd lesson:
A woman can get crazy for someone she loves

3rd lesson:
Even though a woman knows that love is only an illusion, she’ll make the best of the mistake

4th lesson:
It’s better to walk into a man’s eye in a second then to walk into his heart for a lifetime

5th lesson:
The great cruelty is to sacrifice yourself to serve others.

6th lesson:
To love someone never means cheap or not, it just means willing or not

7th lesson:
Control urself in love, and you'll almost be out.

8th lesson:
The way to make love disappear quickly is to make it a burden

9th lesson:
A person is most important to you when you feel that you are about to lose him.

***************************************************************************************************************************
𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭: 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚 𝐘𝐞
1st lesson:
A man's love starts from compassion.

2nd lesson:
Women are unreasonable but charming creatures

3rd lesson:
It's a mistake to point out woman's mistake

4th lesson:
They get angry easily even with the little things

5th lesson:
The woman in love is a, leading politician

6th lesson:
Women often have 2 faces, but they are more clear about what is right and wrong than men

7th lesson:
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, but it's men's duty to look for the needle in the ocean.

8th lesson:
When you begin to learn about love, you can only see the shadow of it.

9th lesson:
Parting is to cut the Gordian knot, but the hurt will last for a lifetime.

Overall this is quite a unique movie about first love. But nothing too special too… Do I agree with all they're thought? No, not really...

Stumble upon this on Feeds. Let's check this one out...

Story about 5 friends; Pantiwa Tantiwicha (Prae), Meena Jessina (Meen), Thidawal Intharaphrom (Wanwan), Methacha Kantisena (May), and Saratsawadee Wichawimol (Saras). The story began at Prae wedding. A secret tape of Prae is exposed at her wedding. Humiliated by the incident & feel betray by it, because it was only their friends group who knew Prae secret, Prae resolves to commit suicide. Preliminary investigation claim that it was Meen who exposed it, but Meen insisted it's not her who did it. That incident & accusation create a freckle in their friendship. So, Meen tried her best to find the culprit to clear herself from her friends suspicion. And the more Meen digs, the darker the truth about everything surrounded their friendship. And it's all began with the incident that surrounded the death of their late friend, Palana (Pan). So.... What's the actual truth about all the secret each of them hide under their blanket...???

That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Now what I like & don't.

What I like:
+ The multilayer of secret. How sometimes hide your dark side even from your closest friends.
+ The friendship between 4 of them. How sometimes friendship really mean hold your friend secret to the grave. And we really know who stay by our side till the end.
+ The lonely people. We see how evil the darkness lurking when you're lonely & feel no one by your side.
+ To show us that sometimes we can run from the truth but we can't really run from our conscious. I mean what happen with Saras, I really like how she makes peace with herself in the end.

What I don't like:
- The crazy ending. Even till the end they still like hold some secret to be unfold for us...

Overall this a good suspense drama. Really giving the vibe of pretty little liars.

Jan 2025 Recommendation Challenge

Watch this for my Jan 2025 Recommendation Challenge. Let’s discuss drama.

Story about Alex, who was given a ring of virginity by his mother when he was a child. The ring represents a promise to keep his virginity for the right one at the right time. Young Alex is confused about the meaning of the promise, but he keeps the promise.

Now Alex is 17 years old, he still doesn’t really understand what his mother means with the right one at the right time. Although now he’s quite eager to lose his virginity, he's afraid bad things will happen if he breaks the promise.

Come the faithful night. Jedi announce he will have a party in his house, because his parents aren't at home. Before going to the party, Alex got a present from his late mother, an old polaroid camera, & he brought it to the party to take pictures of his friends. That day, all the classmates had a wild party at Jedi’s house & Alex also snapped some pictures of his friends. The next thing that happens, we see Alex suddenly as a gynecologist doctor, who is in the middle checking out his patient & he passed out because of shock. Yeah, we suddenly jump fast forward to the future.

When wake up, Alex tries to digest the situation as best as he can. Alex finds out he’s no longer friends with his best friends at school, See-ew & Nim, instead he’s a best friend with Army. He goes home just to find out his grandpa was dead & his smart brother, Ice, is a rock musician. He finds the collection of the polaroid photo that he snapped back then and is surprised to see the pictures in the photo are not the result of the things that happened at that time, instead it is something that hasn't happened yet. For example, Army took a photo of Alex in the trunk of the car, but the picture is Alex in a doctor uniform.

When Alex approaches See-ew to ask what happened all these years, just to greet with anger from See-ew. After some convincing, finally See-ew agreed to speak to him. And that moment Alex learns a little about the bad deed he did back then…. Alex showed See-ew the polaroid photo, after some discussion they decided to track back the people in the picture to find out what happened with their life that led to what happens in the picture. They thought if they crack the mystery of the picture, Alex can go back to his own time. And after Alex solved the mystery behind Molly’s picture, they became sure that the picture indeed can be changed & that's the key for Alex to go back to his time.

Fortunately all the friends still can be intouch. Although there are some altercation in the process, Alex tries his best to crack the mystery behind all the pictures. So with that, let's the chasing begin…

Overall this is quite a mature and daring drama. It has a lot of mature scenes & daring statements. But every picture has its own story and lesson that we can learn from it.

Below I’ll write what happened to each picture in order they solved the mystery, not in order of the storyline. But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Oh and fair warning, my language is gonna be a little vulgar too, cause not all the pictures can be described politely. Read it at ur own risk.












==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================

Molly:
The picture shows Molly in a desperate state, it looks like she’s about to take her own life.
Story: Molly has been accepted as the FL in Jean’s movie. But because she's not ur typical pretty FL, a lot of judgment comes from people around. And out of desperation, Molly takes a photo & posts it online.
Message: How to fully embrace who you are, don't let people dictate who you are supposed to be, just let the people see how bright & different you are…

Army & Jo:
The picture shows Army laying down in someone's chest.
Story: Army is Gay and he's open about it. Jo on the other hand, he still hides it, cause he trains soccer for boys & being gay is not a good portfolio for the parents. Army & Jo begin their feelings in highschool, but back then Army still wasn't open about him as gay & he insulted Jo in many cases, making them separated all these years. But when they want to start their relationship, they're having problems not only in bed but also in communication. Army loves sex but Jo feels uncomfortable about it, it's not about the position (bottom or up) or the gender of sex partners, but about something that even Jo himself can't put it in words.
Lesson: Love is not only about sex or how to please urself. But also about you learning about your partner… Respect each other boundaries

Kat:
The picture shows Kat in bruises after she’s beaten up by someone.
Kat is a sexually active woman, she's not committed to anyone and has several sex partners. Unfortunately for her, one of her sex partners turns out to want to control her & because Kat doesn't want to comply with his request, he beats Kat. After the incident, Kat becomes afraid & paranoid, but with the help of her friends, Kat finally is able to fight her fear.
Lesson: how to fight ur fear & live bravely of ur choice. The one who loves you will always stay by ur side back u up.

Jedi & Rose:
The picture shows them in front of the doctor's office, in not a good state, like they’re just received bad news.
Story: Jedi & Rose are dating, but they're having an open relationship. One day they found out that Jedi is having HPV disease & they blamed each other for the one giving them that disease. So, who's to blame in the first place…?
Lesson: How to be truthful and take care of each other.

See-ew:
The picture shows See-ew in black bondage rope, like the one used in S&M sex.
Story: See-ew like role playing with his girlfriend, Liu, he as the dog & Liu as his owner. But one day, Liu just fed up with See-ew who can't grow up & she decided she doesn't want to role play again. See-ew who doesn't want to break up comply with Liu's request, but deep down he still wants to be pet. So See-ew is looking for a get-away online, when he tries to fulfill his fantasy and meet with the woman online, by his bad luck the police caught them red handed with the accusations pornography. That made Liu furious & broke up with See-ew. See-ew feel depressed about it & tell Alex that to help him, Alex needs to help his relationship with Liu.
Lesson: To understand your partner more, not only want to be understood, but instead try to understand each other

Nim:
The picture shows Nim getting ready for giving birth.
Story: Nim is a lesbian, at first Nim thinks the picture is no way to be truth for her because of the fact that she's never gonna sleep with a man. One day, her girlfriend, Bew, makes crazy suggestions for them to have a baby, but since Bew can't be pregnant due to her health issue she asks Nim for it. And because of Nim’s love for Bew she finally gives in & goes through IVF. But something happens that makes Bew & Nim finally break up, when she receives the news that the IVF is successful & she's pregnant, Nim doesn't know what to do. That's when her ex, Molly comes back to the picture…
Lesson: U need to learn to accept the hands that offer you help.

Jean & Alex:
Jean's picture shows her crying & Alex’s picture shows him wearing his doctor uniform.
Story: Turns out the one that hurt the most because of that night of Jade's house party is Jean. Because she's drunk at that party, Jean dances frantically, someone snaps pictures of her wearing inappropriate clothes & posts the picture on the school wall, which makes her get suspended from school & her life only crumbling down from there. To make the matter worse she feels no one offers a hand to help her & she's also got traumatized by Alex that night. But what's it, u need to watch it urself, I'm not going to spoil it even more.
Lesson: To learn that every action has consequences.

Japan made a remake for this title… Let’s watch…

As usual, let me start with the story…

Story about 2 couples, Hayase Arashi & Amemiya Rei, Kawai Fuma & Sorano Kai. Like the Thai version, they also separated both stories.

1st story, Rei & Arashi. One day, Rei met a handsome man who helped him with his car. Rei is quite obsessed with how handsome the helper is. By his surprise, the helper nonetheless is the university idol, Arashi Senpai. With some circumstances, when they meet again, Rei gets trapped by Arashi & the game begins… The game is to make Arashi fall in love with Rei and not make Rei just be another man in his life. Why game…? Well you must watch to understand it. Haha…

2nd story, Fuma & Kai. Kai is Rei’s friend. Fuma & Kai met when Kai helped Rei to get in the illegal street racing that involved Arashi. Fuma took advantage of the situation & made Kai have one night stand with him. But since that night, Fuma has been obsessed with Kai, he can’t forget him. So, Fuma asks Rei for Kai's number & address & the chasing begins…

For me overall the story is a little better than the Thai version. Some even less toxic than the Thai version. But unfortunately the Thai version has more handsome man… Hehe… So, if you ask me which one I like better? Without doubt, The Thai Version. Haha…

Below I’ll write the comparison between both dramas, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.












==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================
The one that makes more sense than the Thai version:
* The first scene where Rey was chased by the security, Arashi saw him, and then Arashi saved Rey. In Thai, we only got to see Payu ask the boss for permission & then save Rain, I always wonder how Payu can know it's Rain that's been chased.
* The danger that Arashi must be facing in street racing. In the Thai version, they do the racing in the real race arena, so in my opinion no danger, especially since it’s only 2 motors that are involved in the race. In the Japan version, it is really illegal street racing, the street is uneven with the red soil kind of ground. So yeah… I understand the concern that Rei feels.
* The reason for Rei to get back at Arashi. In the Japan version at least Rei states that he will get back for the humiliation that Arashi gives him after Arashi teases him. I never understood the reason why Rain wanted to make Payu fall in love with him in the Thai version.

Better than Thai version:
+ The way Fuma asks Kai. Fuma isn't just so shamelessly harassing Kai like Prapai did to Sky.
+ Rei gives an explanation to Furuta Rinka about Rinka's request for help to set herself with Arashi.
+ The friendship between Kai & Rei. They show us how close Kai & Rei are.

Thai version better:
+ The chemistry between both couples. I don’t get the spark from Japan couples. For me they just like actors playing the role they get.
+ I don’t like how the Japan version portrays Kai, they made him look so old and the overall vibe from him is just not good, unlike Sky he gains no sympathy from me.
+ The crazy man that kidnapped Rei. Although I feel this version wants to make that crazy man seem to have more grudge against Arashi, but for me it makes less sense.

Watch this for MDL 2024 watch challenge. It’s one touching movie…

Weird summary from MDL, let me tell you from a different perspective. Story about Kim Bong Yong (BY), a construction foreman, who did everything he can with his job. Like all other salarymen, he sacrifices everything to please his boss, until he’s a little bit ‘neglectful’ of his family.

This movie starts when BY’s daughter & son are already in their teenage years & start to rebel against their parents. Especially Kim Dal Nim, because she feels unheard in the family. But unfortunately that’s not the focus of our movie…

One day, BY feels sick & checks with a doctor. Unfortunately, he got bad news. BY still tries to hide this fact from his family. But one day, he got fired from his job & everything started crumbling down even more from that… How in the end BY & his family go through this difficult time in their life…?

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Overall this one touching movie, with a little defect on the end. Haha…

Below I’ll write what I mean with the little defect. But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.












==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================
Much like PHope wrote on the review page, the ending is very confusing. They don’t give us a clear statement, whether BY died or not. I feel like he’s dead & the last few min is just his ghost visiting or maybe his wife, Lee Hwa Yun (HY) imagining BY still among them. But once again, they made the scene with the picnic… When did it happen…? It can’t be just HY imagination, cause they take a selfie…. See… So confusing…

Watch this for MDL 2024 Watch Challenge. Huft.... What a ride.... And wow I never read MDL summary that quite spoiler the whole plot than this one... So let me just tell it from different perspective....

Story about Tang Chuan (TC), a mathematic professor that also police consultants for their investigation. One day, police approach him again with difficult case, a man found dead but everything that can identify him being erased, his face smash beyond recognize and his finger burn until no fingerprint. But police still can identify him as Fu Jian (FJ), because they still find his rental bike with fingerprint intact nearby. So, knowing the man identity they find about his ex-wife, Chen Jing (CJ), and start investigation. Unfortunately the case not that easy to be cracked, CJ has perfect alibi for the night of FJ died. When the police hit a dead end, they turn to TC for help.

From police, TC find out CJ's neighbor non other his former classmate, another math genius & enthusiasm, Shi Hong (SH). By gut feeling, TC feel that SH is related to the crime. But how deep & what part SH was taking part of is TC hasn't got a clue. So, because MDL already wrote in the summary, how the dangerous cat-and-mouse between SH & TC ended in the end...?

Unfortunately in my opinion, if you read the summary by MDL first before watching it quite ruin the plot. Why...? Cause for me that's the suspense in this movie about. You don't know what part SH involve in the whole crime, is he the killer or just the helper to cover up the crime....

And since I didn't read the summary and just jumping to the movie. For me this one of the best crime movie. It so full of surprise and unpredictable plot. And this movie also told us about how you can't fool ur conscience, if you have pure heart, hide something dark will slowly but sure eat your heart away. Like in this how CJ feel guilty all the way about her murdering FJ, even thought by mistake.

Watched this for my alphabet challenge.

Story about a teacher and a student. One day, the student, shiotsu, tell his teacher he likes a boy. The teacher cheers, cause turn out he also like man. The teacher think the one shiotsu like is him, but turn out another boy name, Hatsukari. So, how their story goes from here...?

Sometimes I really don't understand Japan jokes and what they think as norm in there... Haiz...

Like this story, while we and the rest of the world condemn this as the act of pedofil or predator look for its prey, Japan still make it into short drama...

But why do I still give this quite high score...? I'll write the reason below, but that's also mean SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

In the end the teacher still do the right thing

SPOILER ALERT!!!! Read it at ur own risk

Watch this for Leon Zhang & Ireine Song. Quite enjoyable until the last episode. I want hang the director!!!! ( 。 •̀ ᴖ •́ 。)💢. So fair warning, this review will fill with a lot of rampage!!!

But first thing first. Story...

Story about a girl name Hao Liang (HL) who has double life as a live stream singer named A Dai. HL is an ordinary girl, shy and a little coward. But when she become A Dai, she's like having different personality, A Dai is a brave girl.

One day HL met Gu Jiu Li (JL), a programmer with straight face & personality. HL fall in love at the first sight with him. JL has a little 'disease', he can't different girl when they put on make up, in the drama this disease called can't recognized different race or something along that way. Almost like blind face, but not quite the same. So yeah, JL can't recognize HL when she dress as A Dai. And that's really funny to watch.

Short story, HL got accepted into JL company as a intern. And the more they spend time together, JL feel more attractive to HL. And vice versa with HL, she also feel more and more like JL. So, yeah finally in the end they had a relationship. But still HL feel A Dai identity is a little gravel in their relationship. She's just affraid what's JL reaction when he know A Dai is HL....

That's one problem this story had. The other problem is about HL's mother. HL also hide her identity as A Dai from her mother. And that's because her mother always thought that entertainment industry is a bad world, it's the world where the 'bad woman' works. So yeah... The problem raise when HL's mother come to town close to the time when A Dai had to do performance. So... How's HL tell her mom about it, how HL can make her mom understand & accepted the world she like...?

That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoiler. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The cute relationship between HL & JL. I really like how their relationship grow, how JL & HL accepted the shortage of the other person & how in their way their support each other.
+ The relationship between Han Yi Jie (YJ) & Chen Yi Bai (YB). I really love how YJ really show his support for YB, how he show that he really accepted all the strong and week side of YB.
+ Han Yi Jie (YJ) himself. He's sometimes is just like a young man, we thought he's quite immature. But I really impressed by how he show his maturity when he have to face YB ex-boyfriend when he offer business proposal. And how YJ show that he's really one amazing friend for JL.

What I don't like.:
- The stupid fast forward relationship between Zhu Yi & Yang Pan Pan. I know I know their relationship is only like decoration on a cake, not important. So why the heck u even make this relationship be fruitful... Go watch it urself, I'm lazy to write in here because how not important this is.

Overall another drama that's pissed me off for the ending. Without the ending I'll gonna rate it between 7-8 actually. Such unfortunate...

Below I'll write the rampage and that's also mean SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

What the heck with the ending!!! I need 1 more episodes to make this become satisfactory drama.

Why end it just until HL's mother accepted A Dai. I need this drama to close with A Dai performance on the stage. Or if you don't want to make the stage and all the performances, u can make it like they already finished it & HL send her mother to airport or station for her to go home.

Oh My GOD I'm so pissed!!!!

I need more explanation

Watch this for my alphabet challenge. Quite enjoy it, but still left hanging feeling in the end

Story about Seol Dong Baek (DB), a man who entered a company. On the first day, he got a text that he was transferred to another department. Now, he works as secretary for the CEO, Min Yu Dam (YD).

At the very first of their encounter, YD asked DB to date him. Not because of love, but because YD said DB needs to date him, if not DB will be dead. Thinking the CEO was crazy, DB ignored his word. But from that day on, YD started asking DB to have dinner with him. Of course, can’t reject the CEO's word, DB just goes with it. And that’s how their relationship started.

Strangely, on the day DB can’t dine with YD, DB started having a nightmare and his body started to feel the pain. ‘Cause in the dream, he was shot & the place where the arrow shot him, it hurt in real life too. When DB woke up, he told YD about it & YD kissed that place, and the pain started to disappear. And that’s how their relationship started going forward. Haha…

DB who tries to run from the relationship just finds himself feeling more and more for YD. At the same time, Dennis Lee also feels attached to DB. So, how will their relationship go forward from this…?

That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Interesting story
+ How DB & YD relationships grow. Even though this is just a short drama, it feels a little bit too fast.

What I don't like:
- a 2 minute recap is freaking too long for episodes that are under 15 minutes.

Overall this is quite an interesting short drama to fill ur time. Unfortunately, they have quite a big hole to fill, so therefore I can't give this higher score. But it's still a good short drama.

Below I'll write about the big hole. But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at your own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
- They don't explain to us about the curse that YD had. What the hell is that? Why does he need to live for 300 years…???
- Who the heck is Dennis Lee? Why is he obsessed with DB? Why does he look like he's been alive for so long, or is it just my impression of him…?
- Why in the past DB can't be named? MDL wrote: “Hundreds of years ago, a child was named after god and was cursed.” I don't know which one is wrong, MDL or the translation of the drama I've watched. But according to the translation in the drama, DB is a child of God that can't be named. And they never bother to explain to us why…? That's kinda frustrating me… Who had explanation for this please kindly message me

Watch this for my Alphabet challenge. But hufh.... What a ride...

Story about crime organizations that involves in gambling, bet, and overall just cheat people in all possible ways by using women and interesting advertising.

This movie choose the uprising problems in the world these days, where many people really being trap in these evil web.

They bring out the sensitivity of the problem & the victim. They emphasize that the victims not only the one that being swindle over they money, but also the face in the screen, like the women whose job as the dealer.

It’s really a hard world & people so easy being trap inside it, with all the promises they given at the beginning.

The minus this movie had for me is simply they make the person who's in charge, the true perpetrator not so crazy and the way they get captured is a little too easy. I hope we can get to see more from the police side, the investigation & the action they need to do to disassemble all of it

Watch another jiang shi qi (SQ) drama. This time she has 2 of her usual man.

Story about SQ, Fang Yi Mo (YM) & Li Hao chuan (HC). Sq & YM are childhood friends, YM secretly love SQ for quite a while. The story begins when they're in high school & HC starts to get in the picture…

The drama tells the story about their love triangle & their journey to graduate highschool.

That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. For me this particular title feels more special, that's why I decided to write a review about this.

Special how's? Because this drama feels like it has a more clear story to tell. It's not just your everyday collection of short videos combined into 1 title. But they really give us a story. Of course this drama is still filled with a lot of cliche & familiar scenes.

So, if you want to start watch jiang shi qi work, this is a good title for start
