I don't know want to write a review or not about this special ep. But seeing so d*mn many good review makes me want to said something from my point of view.Much like Eliot_Rulez, when I don't think this special episode can make the drama worse than it already was, they prove me wrong... Haha.... All the stupid little thing the drama had, still happen in this special episode. And they make it even worse with the sad ending, yet give us the little open ending after the end credit.
What the story? Truth to be told, I don't really understand much. Cause this special ep makes me bored after 30min & I just jump watch to the ending, and a little back track to several minute here & there. But from what I can gather, they had a stupid man who had grudge & gank them all up. But the way he take revenge & the things he did still a stupid one & only can happen in the drama, they're really not learn to do a little bit realistic way that still possible to happen real life.
So, if there will be season 2 will I watch it... UGH.... I don't think I will, maybe for a little bit to learn how joke will come to jake life again...

Interesting short story
Stumble upon this after I click Recommendations on 7 First Kisses pages.Story about Kwon Mi Na (MN) a high school girl, a new transfer student that had bad rumors about her being bad luck for those close to her. In this school first we get a glimpse about that as a false rumor, because she had her longtime friend, Kim Da Won (DW) who was also the school’s top student.
Later we get introduced to 3 others of her man, Kim Ro Woon (RW), the star baseball pitcher. Baek Ju Ho (JH), a bad boy who often entangled himself in fighting. And the last is Kang Cha Ni (CN), a boy who is passionate about dancing. Which boy will capture Mi Na’s heart?
That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Overall this is quite a good & unique story. But on the other hand, it is also a forgettable one. Below I’ll write more specific info about the boys and the uniqueness that this short drama has, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================
The uniqueness: It's like you are playing the story game to choose your own ending. This drama consists of 7 episodes; ep 1 is about the introduction of MN & 4 boys, ep 2 is story about DW & RW, ep 3 is story about JH & CN. Ep 4 is about the ending of RW. Ep 5 is about the ending of DW. Ep 6 is about the ending of JH. And ep 7 is about the ending of CN.
I don’t like how they set-up the order of the episodes, and one of the reasons I lower the score a little bit. I prefer they finish the story about DW & RW first then go to the story of JH & CN.
Anyhow… Let’s talk about the boys…
DW is a childhood friend of MN, they knew each other when they’re little kids. DW is an active member of school radio & he is the one that brings MN to that club. But because of MN's bad rumor, she almost did not get into that club, so DW made an agreement with his team, if MN successfully interviewed RW she could join the club. And that’s how MN got to know RW.
RW at first does not really care about MN, but one word from MN that shows how she pays attention to RW needs instead of her own agenda, got him interested. And there’s an incident involving MN that made them closer. Slowly but surely, MN clumsiness is really attracting RW attention.
JH is a bad boy by appearance, but in the past, how MN never really judged JH by his rumors really attracted him & they end up dating. One day, JH got in an accident & that made him can’t show up to their date. The angry MN thought JH abandoned her & at the same time she also moved school, so MN & JH just lost contact. They meet again in this new school & JH tries to get closer to MN again to reenact their relationship & explain the misunderstanding.
MN meets CN after the incident with RW happens, she hides from all the students that blame her as the cause of RW incident, in the storage room. The cheerful CN attracts MN attention, and later also how CN also manage to cheer MN when there's a bad thing in her life. Later we learn something magical about CN, but I’m not gonna reveal it here.
That’s the stories of MN & her 4 boys. So, which ending do you choose…? The one that is the most interesting for me is CN. But I always have a soft spot for childhood friends, so I'm probably gonna choose MN & DW.

Watch this cause people buzzing about it. Let's just prove it... As usual MDL summary a little messed up. Let me tell the story from my perspective ^^Story about San, a Chinese immigrant, who fell in love with Khun Wat, the daughter of a Thai aristocrat. Their romance began when she helped him recover after he was severely injured, healing him with the "five-colored stone" at NiWa temple. Their different background at that time really make it impossible for them to be together, more over Khun Wat had fiancé, Third. When San & Khun Wat decided to eloping, Third caught up to them & by accident he shot Khun Wat instead San, that's resulting for Khun Wat to dying. The panic San brought Khun Wat to NiWa temple & attempted to use the mystical stone's power to save her, but it was in vain. The only way for them to be together again was for San to enter a century-long contract of immortality with the temple goddess, agreeing to wait for Khun Wat to be reborn. The catch was that he would be tormented every night and if he failed to reunite with her after 100 years, he would also face a tragic death for eternity.
After patiently waiting for 100 years, San finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. NiWa goddess give them some clue about the reincarnation of Khun Wat. So, San along with Tao, the priest of the temple, & the family follow the guidance from their goddess & end up bump into Vee. Tao, who is follow the strict guidance from their goddess believed Vee to be Khun Wat's reincarnation. But San resist that idea, cause the problem is Vee is a man. & San didn't believe Khun Wat reincarnation will be a man & more over after they learn about Vee life is so contrast with Khun Wat's life. All that added to the character of Vee himself that at first not so good in San's eye, makes him got more annoyed by Vee.
So the bickering is started in San's heart. Cause although he didn't want to believe Vee as the reincarnation of Khun Wat, but all the symptom & indication that Vee is indeed the right reincarnation is so clear in front of San's eyes. Like how the pain San feel because of the tormented that cause by five-colored stone is much better even almost non existed when Vee is by his side. And slowly but sure San also can see the good side of Vee.
When everything seems great, San feeling toward Vee is much better, and San also finally accepted Vee as the reincarnation of Khun Wat, came Watfah into the picture. Watfah is like the mirror image of Khun Wat. And when Watfah open her mouth, San shock cause Watfah know all the story of him & Khun Wat. And when Tao check Watfah background, is more precise with Khun Wat. So all the confusion started again about who supposed to be Khun Wat reincarnation, Vee or Watfah? And what about San feeling himself, will it change back to Watfah that have the same face with Khun Wat?
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like & don't.
What I like:
+ The good acting from Daou Pittaya Saechua & Offroad Kantapon Jindataweephol. & The chemistry between them
+ Portraying how we can't judge book by it's cover. Like Vee & Watfah.
+ The cute little family that San has. Especially Ju.
What I don't like:
- The crazy beginning. The priest in the temple just tell the secret of five-colored stone to San who was no one back then. Even with Khun Wat present, that kind of secret is not for all the people to know.
Overall this quite unique story you can enjoy.

Love in the Air: Koi no Yokan Special Episode

This review may contain spoilers
Quite curious when I heard this will gonna have special episode... Well... unfortunately much like Eliot_Rulez wrote: "While the series was bad, this was even worse. It added nothing to the story, except to have two leads of the original Thai "Love in the Air" in it."Anyhow... Story first...
This story like Thai special revolve only about our 2 couples love life. All of them couple now, and because Arashi & Fuma make their lovers jealous, of course not deliberate even though they make it seem deliberately, Rei & Kai fled to go on their own vacation.
I don't know what the purpose of making this special episode, maybe except to please us, the Thai fans, with the show up of Boss & Fort. Although I'm still a little bit not satisfied. I really hope Payu & Prapai have interaction more with Arashi & Fuma instead just with Rei & Kai.

My Jan 2025 Recommendation Challenge
Watch this for Recommendation Challenge by KDramaMama. This one sit quite a while in my PTW, but really reluctant to watch because I'm not too fond of watching remake. But here we are finished watching this one.Story about Hwang Woo Yun (WY) & Hwan Seung Hee (SH). WY & SH met in high school, due to some circumstances SH move away without saying goodbye. WY finally found SH after seeing her in some mags, and WY chase her down & they met again in the university. Unfortunately at that time, SH already got a boyfriend, so they got separated again.
Years later, they met again, but this time is WY that got girlfriend. Although WY got GF, he still can't forget SH, so when there's a chance to went alone with SH, WY took it. And with all the feeling that's linger between them, WY decided to break up with his GF & try his chance with SH.
But the unfortunate thing is irresistible, the day WY tell SH is the day WY got injured because of he tried to save SH. Although WY & SH ended up together after this, but that's incident like the thorn in flesh in their relationship. & once again they separated.
Until one day in the future they met again. It's happen when SH give the news to WY that's she's about to get married. WY have conflicted feeling about the news, one side he still can't forget SH, but one side the thorn still linger in the air between them. So... What's the ending of their relationship...?
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Once again, this really remind me to what you consider light word is sometimes cut deeply into someone heart & more hurtful than a mouthful full of sharp words, especially if that said by someone important for us.
Overall this still one real story about the one that got away. Unfortunately for me, this version not leave much impression, it's easy to forget.

Watch this for my alphabet challenge and happy can watch this...Story about the first trial that involve jury in Korea. It follows the case of a son brutally murdering his mother, with all factors seeming to point to a guilty ruling. However, the trial did not go as smoothly as expected by the professional (Judge, attorney and prosecutor). Because with the addition of jury, the case open to new eyes and new possibility.
This movie give us point of view of how ordinary people can see and notice something that overlook by professional, cause they just think the easy and fastest way to end the case. The Jury especially help the head judge to think back about her original purpose for choosing judge as her profession.
For me this movie really help me to remember, not to judge the book by its cover. Always remember innocent until proven guilty need to emphasis for everyone...
This really one good & interesting movie...

My Dec 2024 Recommendation Challenge
Long time heard about this one, but quite hesitate to watch it cause I don't too fond of Z-Tao. But I'm glad for the recommendation challange & MIMI who pick this drama for me...Story about Qian Wei (QW), a girl who feel failure about her life. She graduate with law degree, but failed the bar exam made her no choice but to work as a paralegal & assistant for her classmates & rival in university, Lu Xun (LX).
One day buy miracle, QW back to her university days & had a change to restart every thing about her life. So with the knowledge of the future, QW start to 'fix' her life. QW start to take every opportunity that's been lost in her youth, the opportunity to be the lead, instead of her 'rival' LX.
But when QW start to experiencing all of it again, she start to notice all the thing she never noticing back in her youth. Like all the things LX did for her back in the days... Knowing all of it now, make all the impression & feeling QW had for LX all these years changing. And in the end they even began to be in a relationship.
And because MDL already told us, that QW is in comma & only having 'dream'. When all the thing start smoothly in QW favor, QW & LX relationship start to having problems. And that's when QW finally awake from her comma & dream.
In real life, QW who just been awake start to feel a blur between dream & reality. At first, she having mixed feelings & memory between her dream & her own past. But slowly her memory start to come back & she can differentiate more of between her dream & her own past.
But she soon realized all the things in her dream start to be the truth in her life too. Like, when Qian Chuan got a word of advice from their dad about his life after the incident, turn out to be the truth in real life (QW before didn't know about this fact, she knows in from her dream). Or like when Liu Shi Yun open the noodle shop.
With all of the event in her dream start to become reality, QW realized LX feeling for her also must be the same with her dream too... So QW start to challenging LX feeling for her, just to be slap with LX strong-willed to hide his feeling for QW. So... Who will win in the end...?? ^^
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+Z-Tao really good here. Really fit for LX. Haha... I really like his character here. Although LX kinda stupid and so d*mn stubborn to hide his feelong for QW. But I really like the scene when LX admit his feeling for QW.
+ I really like Song Zu Er too... I like how she can act differently between the youth QW and adult QW.
+ They give us a a little show about attorney job, but not really bore us with all the detail.
+ No stupid love rival. Oh they have stong love rival, QW's ex, Li Chong Wen (CW). But I really like how he knows his place & not becoming the evil and stupid EX. And the feeling of threaten that CW brought for LX is quite funny to watch.
+ The friendship. In the end, the friendship of QW, Mo Zi Xin & Liu Shi Yun is really one good friends till the end.
What I don't like:
- The stupid stubborn LX when he really try to hide his feeling for QW. Frustrated to see the writer stalling us for a few episode just to see how in the end LX give up and just confess.
- The stupid antagonist. I know she doesn't want to dirtied her own hand, but the action of her feel half-baked. I don’t kbow how to put it in words.
Overall this one fun drama to watch...

Watch this for my Movie Alphabet Challenge & Inoue Mao. Been a while since I've watched her in Hanadan. Haha...Tell story about Takuma, a boy who is told he will die before he's 20, and Mayu, a girl who is in love with him. Takuma & Mayu met in the hospital, where Takuma get hospitalize & Mayu who wait for her father, Takuma's doctor. By accident, young Takuma & Mayu heard about the fact that Takuma will die before he's 20. But since they're just a little kid, they embrace that fact in their own way.
Fast forward to the future, Mayu continues to stay close, support and love Takuma's side until they're in high school & the taunting limit age of Takuma's life closing by. And this where the story start moving again with all the sad feeling that linger in the air.
Takuma, who knows his days are numbered, start to pushes away his feelings for Mayu and distances himself from her. He cannot stand to see her cry or hurt her more than he already has. Takuma decided to enroll himself in the boarding school to separate himself with Mayu. But instead just giving up, Mayu persistently stick herself to Takuma by enroll herself to the same school with Takuma.
In that school, Mayu meets another man who has feelings for her, and Takuma meets a woman who has the same illness, and their feelings for each other begin to waver. So how their story ended...?
That's pretty much the story without giving much of the spoiler. Overall I really like this movie. A good movie to spend your time with. Fair warning, just prepare your tissue when you watch this... Haha...
Below I'll write more about my thought. But it is BIG SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
This movie tell us the harsh fact of life.
* How Takuma try to distance himself from Mayu but fail. How he got jealous when there's another boy that start to chase Mayu.
* We can see the selfish side of people for our loved one. Like when Mayu begged the donor family to just give up their 'brain dead' son. And the family said, that his son still able to cry, so they're not giving up.
* How brave Takuma, when he makes piece with death by accepting his time.

Watched this to fill my Alphabet challenge. But in the end I was quite happy to watch this.Story about Hino Maori & Kamiya Tooru. Their story started when Tooru made a false confession to Maori. Even though she knows that the confession is a lie, Maori says yes with the three rules: "Don't talk to me until after school, Keep communication brief, and Don't fall in love with each other.
The two promise not to fall in love, but as they get to know each other, they find themselves drawn to each other. But one day, Tooru finally knew the reason for Maori to set the rule for their relationship. Maori suffer from anterograde amnesia, the brain damage that will make her forget all the things when she falls asleep.
Like 50 first dates, Maori also got this because of the accident. & she keeps a diary to take note about everything that's going on that day to be read the next day.
Knowing this fact didn't stop Tooru from going out with Maori. Tooru is devoted to bringing her as much happiness as possible. So, how will their relationship end? Will it be like 50 first dates, where they get married…? Or will this end with a sad ending…?
That's pretty much the story without giving much of the spoiler.
This is a really good movie about how amazing our body & brain actually are. Even though Maori’s memories erased every day, in the end her body remembered.
If I have to put myself in Maori shoes, with diseases like Maori. I really don't know how stressed I will be. And the decision taken by Wataya Izumi… I think it's the right one…
Overall this is really one good movie….

The ending....
Watch this just because I'm bored & decide to search something short & look interesting. And since this already quite sometimes too in my list, so yeah let's check this out...Story about Su Nan (SN) & Gu Yi Bei (YB), a university student couple that break up cause SN suddenly disappear from YB's life with no explanation. One they meet again 5 years later at a party. And since then YB try to get SN to his side again. So, how will the story go forward from that...?
That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Interesting story at first. The way YB chase after SN, & how all the reason behind SN disappear from YB's life slowly revealed over time. It's all so good for short drama. Until....
+ The chemistry between Wang Zu Yi & Shao Yu Qi quite good.
Overall this quite good for short drama. Unfortunately we have this kind of ending. Without this kind of ending actually I'll gonna rate this 8.5 - 9... What's that ending...?? Well if you read the comment below or any other review before me you already know the answer. But I still gonna shout it out again. And that's also mean BIG SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
What I don't like:
- One of the most unclear ending.... What the heck is that...? Are they try to make it into open ending or what..?
The ending:
SN appear in YB eyes again & they're married in the end. But they make it kinda like in trench mode, like YB in dream world...

Watch this of course because of YouTube fishing. Haha... Interesting story but not so much in the implementation.This time MDL summary quite true to the story. Story about Liang Xiang Yi (XY) who is framed and poisoned with a powerful aphrodisiac. Unintentionally, she shares a passionate night with the handsome CEO Han Cheng Xun (CX), but wakes up the next morning in shock -- she has transformed into a man! To find out what happened, she (or he) had a romantic journey with the CEO.
What I like:
+ Quite original plot for short drama. The usual plot will be they spend the night, she pregnant or disappear... But this one quite different, they added the plot where XY change into a man.
+ The chemistry between our couple quite good.
+ Quite bold moves for C-short drama. Much like Furrina wrote in comment: "ML made this. The dude is so casually careless that his girlfriend is switching mid-kiss. He is living a bisexual's dream". Heck yeah... CX fall in love with both the female figure and male figure of XY. Haha...
What I don't like:
- The story until the last second still not so clear. How XY can change into man. How to cure her. The fact they just accept the fact is a lot of BS.
Overall this quite good for short drama. But still better search for other and better short drama out there.

Overall this quite good a series

for you romantic Junkie
need to fill the C letter in my 2024 Alphabet Movie Challenge. So I choose this. Haha.... Turn out to be one of the best romantic movie that I've watch this year...Story about Gabriela Benedictos Dela Cuesta (Gab). If MDL describe her as "close to perfect girl", my word is a woman who try to be the perfect one, perfect daughter for her mom, perfect girl for her boyfriend. That's make her have some hidden desire. One day Gab met Jose Ibarra Garcia Gonzales Jr. (Dos) in a friend wedding. They end up going to the after party & because of drunk, they get married.
That's when everything kinda not make sense. I don't know about Philippine law regarding married, but this marriage is even more chaotic than every Hollywood drunk married, cause Gab or Dos not even go to church or court house to make their marriage official. So I completely don't understand how they're legally married in the first place.
But anyhow...
Skip to 1 year later, since their married accident. Gab get proposed by her 6-year boyfriend & she accepted it. (But from the look at Gab face, we actually already know how that will end up.... Haha...) The next day Gab get a letter from the courthouse that stated that she's married to Dos. Gab try to dig her mind to remember the event. & thankfully Gab still have Dos number, so Gab contacted Dos to annul their married.
Now about Dos...
Dos falling in love at the first sight with Gab. But when Gab contacted him about their marriage he also shock. But regardless Dos agreed to meet Gab to talk about their married. Upon their meeting, Dos get to remember how pretty Gab is & he fall in love again with her. But anyhow, Gab still insisted that their marriage should be annul cause Gab want to married her boyfriend.
But of course this still a romantic movie right. So, with Gab & Dos start to be connected. That's evoke the hidden feeling in their heart. Gab also be awaken about the problem with her own relationship. But how this will end up in the end...? Will Gab receive Dos hand in marriage or will she free herself from all the relationship...?
That's pretty much about the movie. Now let's talk about what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ As usual, Kathryn Bernardo & Daniel Padilla chemistry never can go wrong
+ How to be honest with urself
What I don't like:
- To make everything romantic regardless any logic. Like the marriage of Gab & Dos
Overall this one of the perfect romance movie for you who are romance junkie

The missing link
I'm happy can watch this....This is to fill the blank within the drama. Like what happen after their last time drinking together before Fan Tuan (FT) went abroad. Or what happen before Mu Guang (MG) receive the phone about FT in their town. So yeah, we also watch the several scene from the drama.
But apart from that, the most important think is: this special episode completed the journey of FT & MG. What happen after the episode in the drama, who FT saw outside & what happen to both of them...
The suck, only one, but big problem... This have no sub. So yeah, I'm watching it RAW. Some scene not so important (haha) & some scene I try to endure it & understand it briefly.... But overall I'm so happy I can watch this closure...
