Great article and wholeheartedly agree that the OST makes the drama. That's why I can't get over A Korean Odyssey soundtrack. It was just *chef kiss* for me.
I really liked it. So much skinship and great chemistry between the couples. Like all c-dramas, they tend to piss you off in the last couple of episodes.
My takeaway from this is that Lee Eun Hyuk is dead and didn't survive somehow. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ *insert NOOOOO! gif* Also no Song Kang...really? After that cliffhanger?
The most random, dumbest and ridiculous drama. But like most soap operas, it was addictive as hell and I couldn't stop watching. Honestly wouldn't recommend if you don't want to be annoyed for 30 episodes.
But it was funny. The best characters were FL, her bff, the bff's love interest and the ML's bff. Everyone else was just irritating. The story was all over the place with different random cliche plots that kept hitting you in the face. It's like they used every soap opera trope and smashed it together for this drama. The only thing that was missing was the secret pregnancy. I'm glad this is over.
Now it's time for this movie to get the recognition it deserves!!!! I watched this months ago and loved it and Squid Games brought me back here for a rewatch.
This was a really decent coming of age romantic comedy. We all need a ShiYi in our lives. I just loved how petty he was with XJ and called her out on her wishy washy ways, when need be. Bless his little heart. I enjoyed the characters, but sis took WAY too long to realize who her true love was. We literally sat and watched them date throughout high school and university, XJ was doing couple stuff with Shiyi, but she was so hooked on CL, she didn't even realize it. Xiao Ju was very frustrating, but the theme was discovery and growth, so I get it.
I'm satisfied with SOME of the endings. Justice for Cheng Lang, he deserved so much better. All that just to be one upped by some white guy. But he seems happy and came to terms. The only downside with this is that they never cleared up the issue with Shen Duo, so I'm assuming they did date, but Shiyi just wasn't into her and they ended it. It was funny and heartwarming.
I have no idea how to explain this drama to people to get them to watch, so I'll try. It was so chaotic and funny, and I MEAN FUNNY!! This drama broke the 4th wall in every episode. They didn't take themselves seriously and I'm sure the cast had such a great time making this show.
The group of friends were...OMG! They were all lovable idiots. Female lead was a nut job that loved playing with the dead, male lead was lazy and seemed like he was drunk all the time, but a bad ass at martial arts, second female lead was a psycho and second male lead was calm, soothing, sweet and a WEIRDO that seemed to be high on something that makes him spout poems randomly and has an affinity to making people setting fires. I loved them all!!!! The actors did a really great job portraying their characters especially Liu Yi Chang. He was so silly. The parents were also nuts!!
This series was seriously WTF & LOL with nice romance and some mystery and lots of cool action. It's so ridiculously funny like there is this one scene where the Lord was suppose to meet his brother in an hour and he's at the palace. In the next scene dude is coming OUT OF A BUSH and is there at the scene, from WALKING. You hear car horns in the background (it's suppose to be a historical), they have a couple of random musical numbers. I LOVED IT. Also, very satisfying ending, there isn't a love triangle, I don't want to spoil, but there technically wasn't a love triangle. Honestly just watch this for a good laugh.
I don't like Filipino dramas, but this one peaked my interest because I came across the theme song in an Instagram video and I couldn't get it out of my head.
Now I'm glad I followed the song. This series was like a combination of Mean Girls, Boys Over Flowers and Another Cinderella Story. Basically a melting pot of all the teen, rom coms you can think of. And it was GOOD.
Max was the character that I wanted for the BOF drama. I really liked her. She was a tough cookie that fought back. The chemistry between her and Deib were great. The side characters and the friends were awesome too. Couple in your bitchy villains, a sprinkle of great comedy and some heartwarming moments and you got yourself a very well played out teenaged rom com. I liked this one.
Damn, Leo must be EXHAUSTED dealing with all this, because me as a viewer am. I don't know if I missed it, but did no one ever consider therapy for Fiat? Poor guy. Now his mom is all "Norman Bates/Psycho" style.
This was honestly the greatest thing I've seen. The leads were awesome along with the best friend. Loved the comedy, chemistry and the romance and kisses were on point. I didn't want it to end. Although it was short, the story still flowed really well. Highly recommend if you're a rom com junkie.
These two were like Barry and Iris from The Flash, fucking up the timeline like nobody's business. This show was honestly really stupid and it just seemed like they were making up more shit as they go with the time travel thing. But I did enjoy the plot twist when it got dark and it did kept me interested, so it achieved its goal. The cops were incompetent as hell and the kiss was whack. And that got damn perfume that popped up in almost every scene.
