Cha In HaðŸ˜. The acting world lost this terrific actor with the most beautiful smile. There was this one scene where his character was in despair and lost all hope and his gf said to him, "to me you're the best." I just hope he heard that for once during his real life. R.I.P.
It was a very sweet drama and the female lead is just adorable. It was bittersweet watching In Ha.
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I really hate this franchise but I can't stop watching the different versions. The versions with Joe and Darren are still my favorite and the female lead from the Japanese version is still my favorite one. I don't know what woman would continue to pine after a guy that continuously puts her down and demean her and I don't know what guy would go for a woman that can't even boil water. But whatever. Ah Chin is still the superior choice and I'm glad they made him better looking than the male lead here, because the male lead can definitely go suck on lead.
This drama had such a great start but after episode 28, it just went to shit and I got bored. The love rivals were the worst and pathetic,( one didn't realize they were getting conned until much later, the other's antics just kept bringing the leads together) the big villain was even worse. The best thing about this drama was the second couple. I loved their interactions and they kept the show going with their bickering and comedic antics. They were honestly the best support team you could've had for the leads.
I lost interest in the leads by 27. BUT if you like unproblematic couples then yes, they were a great couple. They really needed to fire the stylist for the female lead because from her hair down to her outfits were ugly and they never changed her style.
Since the mechanical heart had healed the damage that prevented him from getting a real heart in the beginning, I don't understand why these fools didn't think to get a real heart in the 10 years. Then the whole plot about the accident with the parents got left by the wayside until the last couple of episodes. I felt cheated, honestly. This was like winning a free meal at your favorite restaurant that you've been excited to try for weeks only to find out when the food arrives, it's bland AF. Allen Ren and Rui Lin were both adorable as hell though.
This is still single handedly the most annoying love story ever made. Even though this version was 100 times better than the Korean version and slightly better than the Japanese, I still can't bring myself to root for this relationship or the leads. Their push and pull with each other is just so exhausting and then this was FIFTY freaking episodes of watching these two shit heads bicker, get together, break up and start the process over again. Sigh, anyways the sister is still awesome, the head housekeeper is still awesome, F4 friendship is still the best thing about this show, the female lead mom was SO much better here than she was in the other versions and I'm glad they didn't include the annoying little brother here. Then this version had so many filler episodes, it just dragged from 30 until the end. I did a lot of skipping since for the most part, it was the same like the other version. Male lead's Mom was a downright witch and scary as hell in this one. I'm glad the bullying and harassment were cut down to a bare minimum and I love that the male lead was head over heals in love with her from the beginning. Dylan Wang did his thing and owned the male lead. He embodied his character. I didn't catch second lead syndrome because honestly, the guy did nothing but eat, sleep and played an instrument. He was just background noise by episode 20 to me. I love Shen Yue, but she still looks like she's just uncomfortable doing kiss scenes. I think her best kisses were with Jerry in CYLS. I would say if you're new to this franchise, watch this and the Japanese version and skip the Korean version. But I guess if you like Lee MinHo, still go for it. Now the only thing left is to check out the Thai version and see how Bright does.
Ugh, I'm sorry, but I had to drop. No amount of hot guys and Andy Bian in a red speedo, could've kept me invested enough to finish this cringe-fest of a drama with the bad CGI and green screen.
I'm a sucker for youth dramas, so I enjoyed this one. I love Lin Yi and he has gotten so much better with his acting. If you can get over the cringe of the female lead, you'll be fine.
So, if you're not into this sort of drama, you'll find it boring and start skipping scenes. I admit, I did skip a few scenes that weren't relevant to the story. The first half of this drama is about friendship, family and ups and downs. So don't expect any romance from the first episode to episode 25. Nothing happens there. From 26 and on-wards, everything went from zero to one hundred REAL QUICK. All the romance comes at you at once, THEN there is this massive break up and we had to wait years before they could've gotten together again, (about from episode 29 til 32) but don't worry, it's a totally worth it happy ending. I loved the families of the friends and the people in the neighborhood. They kept the show going with their stories and comedic antics, especially Shao Xue's parents. They were the best. There's this shop keeper who pretty much knew all the tea of the people in this village because everyone pretty much went to his store front the vent. I'm sure he's heard and seen some thangs. LOL.
The friendship of the group was everything too, except for Shi Yin. I honestly hated her. She's a good friend, but she's a legit terrible person when you look at it and didn't know what she had until it was gone. Then there's the saddest second male lead ever. Sigh.....he didn't stand a chance. You don't EVER catch second lead syndrome with him. Although there was no romantic chemistry between any of them in the first half, the show pretty much dropped a lot of hints as to who the female lead would've ended up with.
In conclusion, it was a beautiful family drama with some heartbreaking moments that will make you tear up and moments that will have you LOLing. Give it a shot.
P.S Wu Huan deserves the WORLD!!!!! He was my favorite character out of the friends.
I mean, it was a good drama. I didn't hate it. It kept me entertained and it was funny, but the last episode was just stretched out. After episode 13 when everything was solved, it just looked like they didn't have anything else to do, so the rest of the episodes were just focused on getting the leads healed and I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop by the last two episodes and it did.
That seriously pissed me off. Then to top it off, the ending kind of made me angry, because that entire episode was just so uncalled for. I don't understand why these dramas tend to rip away a good ending, to only give the audience 5-10 mins of a happy ending.
This was a weirdly funny and interesting drama. I loved the ending too and at how it all came full circle. I've come to accept that whenever a show on MDL has a low rating, the show is actually good. If you liked Kill Me, Heal Me, or just into serial killer dramas, give this one a try. Although KMHL did a better job at displaying and explaining Dissociative Identity Disorder there, than in here. One thing though, U-Know's character was just quite useless in some situations. Like the character went into the army. Did he not learn ANY basic fighting skills on how to protect himself? He was blind sided so much in here.
Once they incorporate "Jane's and Petra's" friendship after everything they went through and don't make Petra overbearing (She was my favorite character from the US version) then I'm set. Kim Mi Kyung would've been a great addition as Halmeoni too.
Damn, but Zhao Lin really needs to break out of these "stone faced/cold" male lead roles. But he loves cats in this one and cats have GOT to make this man at least crack a proper smile right? So...yay.
Youth dramas are my guilty pleasure, so I really enjoyed this. Plus it had in 3 of my favorite actors. To the average watcher, this was basically a drama about nothing, that turned into a drama about coffee to architecture, then back to coffee. It was a simple slice of life romance with no love triangles, no misunderstandings, no love rivals, no break ups, no arguing. Nothing and a sexual tension that stretched all the way to the last 2 episodes. This is the EASIEST youth drama you could ever watch. Come for the friendships and Guo Jun Chen being adorable. There is one scene where he discovers alcohol for the first time and you'll die from the cuteness of it.
TV gods, if you can hear me, give us a drama with Wan Peng and Zhang Mao Huai as the leads. They looked so good together and had such a sweet friendship chemistry. I want to see them as lovers.
It was kind of like the Pinoy version of the Thai BL drama The Moment. It was simple and light. I liked Kaloy from Boys Lockdown and glad he got his starring role. The leads had a nice chemistry going on too.
The most random drama I've ever watched. The villain was given away from the first episode too. The end also doesn't make sense because since her 20 year old self in the parallel universe died saving him and her original 20 year old version went back to it's own time line, how the hell can he wait for her for 20 years? Did the timelines merge when they touched hands in the blue room? If that's the case, wouldn't she age up too like him? Because it just looked as if she went back from where she left off at Uni as a 20 year old, while he looks to be in his 40's with his paint on mustache. And then there's the twist of him being the "hand" that was helping them get back to the other world. So the end is basically a 40 year old man and his 20 year old bride finding each other again. There was no follow up to Li Yitong either, so since her best friend doesn't remember her, we're to assume she died in a collapse too then.
