ISTG these EXILE TRIBE men look TOTALLY different when they're not in stage makeup. I was doubting myself the entire time saying that ML is not Taiki Sato.
Not gonna lie, the Scorpio in me was yelling at Ichi that he had a way out in episode 3, don't go over to her house!!!! But then that would've been frowned upon and I guess he would feel guilty....meh.
Omg, FUCK Ichi's Dad and the Dad's wanna be mistress. They were so infuriating. This would've been an epic love story if these two asshats had just communicated better. They talked more in their head than to each other. Then dragging poor Deno into their shit.
Anyways, I was pleasently surprised by how much I actually liked this drama. If you want to torture self with lots of angst and a frustrating ML and FL, then check this out.
This was like going down the rabbit hole of Jim Jones and Charles Mansion again. Very interesting watch. I'm a true crime junkie, but every new case I encounter still leaves me unsettled.
The JMS story pissed me all the way off while watching. He got 10 years for all the monstrous things he did. Came out and did it all over again. Someone should've taken him out then and there in prison.
Loved this drama so much!!!!!!! Took me about 7 episodes in and finally checking the casts page to realize that the familiar ML was Z. Tao and watching him pimp out his merch for YKYB in the series was hilarious. (I was wondering why the heck he was in so many hoodies and hats!!!😂😂😂) I loved the chemistry between the leads. It was naturally done and lots of kisses!!!! The story never faltered and it was FUNNY. They actually made the "lawyering" scenes quite interesting and fun. Supporting casts were great too and my second couple kept the show light on the side, when some scenes got too intense or sad.
Li ChongWen is probably the only second lead that I've wanted to passionately hug and then violently strangle at the same time. He was so frustrating sometimes.
Anyways, 33 episodes well spent. I would recommend this if you're in the mood for a sweet and fun rom-com. Z.Tao has that male lead charisma.
Also, she didn't time travel. I was browsing through some comments and some people seemed confused. Read the synopsis. She fell into a coma and dreamed about her past life and got to relive it for a month. That's it. That's all she did. That's why she couldn't change anything because it had already happened.
OMG! Episode two was CRAZY!!!!! They took "sugar daddy" to a whole other level!!!!. 😂😂If you liked Girl…
But by making her do it at six was dumb. Hell does she know about jealousy, sex and love at six?!! Would've made more sense if they'd at least made her a killer at 13.
Then it turned out she turned the son into a killer instead of her actually being a killer, which was a pretty solid revenge plot to be honest.
I love it. These two are so weird, their relationship is weird, Hira should be in a psych ward, but you can't help but love them and they make it work. Who am I to hate on Hira and his religion that is Kiyoi. I would love to see them tackle kids someday. Hira turning their daughter into a fan girl and Kiyoi saving their son from being a creep like his Dad.
I've pretty much come to understand that by Hira being so severely introverted and lacking confidence, you have to be straight forward with him and spell out everything for him. Kiyoi needs to do that more.
This drama is ridiculously depressing, but it was beautiful at the same time.
You end up getting so attached to all the characters. It was one struggle after the next with each of them. But watching them overcome them was heartwarming.
I'm so glad we got introduced to GeminiForth because those little guys stole the show for me. Heart and Ming....aw man, I enjoyed their story. You cannot help but smile when these two darlings are on screen.
I liked Mixx's character Wen. This guy fought and I mean STRUGGLED to build a relationship with Jim and to finally break down all the walls that Jim had up. Watching Wen having to hold himself back whenever Jim got shirtless was hilarious.
Didn't care much for Alan. But him and Gaipa finding each other was pretty much a given.
Gaipa's heartbreak..oh my word.
Leng being the comic relief but also trying to overcome his own issues too.
This was a great series and I enjoyed the friendship and pretty much their own little family that they build with each other in that diner.
My only issue was the editing. It was terrible. The transition between scenes was bad.
OMG! Episode two was CRAZY!!!!! They took "sugar daddy" to a whole other level!!!!. 😂😂
If you liked Girl from Nowhere and missed Nano, get ready for Sara. Show was crazy with a WTF plot twist that you kind of saw coming by the ending of episode 6.
"I'll kiss you so hard next time, your insides will throb." YESSSSSS, BABY! I LOVE IT!!!! 😂😂
"I can take sole possession of your piercing holes too, right?" 😂😂 This show is just ridiculously quotable.
🤣🤣 Man I loved this. I love cringe nonsense like this where the romance goes from 0 to 100 in a flash, the 90's style silk sheet softcore porn scenes when they make love. ALL OF IT. This had a bunch of my fav male actors and it was funny, cringey and had more hugs than a Japanese BL. I liked the FL too.
The only thing that would've made this better was Sakurada Dori making a cameo because this type of show was right up his alley. STAY WEIRD, JAPAN!
Finished. First, this show was not all that terrible. I was expecting worse based on these comments/reviews. It was actually better than History 4, in my opinion.
My likes:-
1) Tai Che Ni. He was a high functioning, neurotic mess, but very likeable and funny and I'm glad he released all that energy in taking care of Hai Yi. They had the bickering couple thing going on and it's my fav troupe. 2) Hai Yi. Lips to die for, a big kid, getting through his abandonment issues, but still very sweet. 3) The Time Lord or Time Deity. Whatever the hell he was called, he was funny and his random scenes always cracked me up. 4) I liked how they didn't waste time with Che Ni freaking out when he came to the future. He was adaptable. It helps that it was just 22 years into the future. But yea, they got right down to it. 5) The Sam reveal was a nice plot twist.
My Dislikes:-
1) The second couple really didn't have anything going for them expect for all that company drama and Liang Wen Hsen keeping tabs on Lin Huai En throughout his entire life. But they were cute I guess. 2) Tai Che Ni. The big dummy started to sabotage the relationship from episode 18 and onwards. 😭 Then him asking Hai Yi to go back to the past with him. Child, ain't no sane minded person will go back to 2000 when they have millions and a company to run in the future. 3) The misunderstandings. It's 2023. Time to put this troupe to rest unless it actually works for the story. ALL of these misunderstandings could've been solved if these guys had sat in a room, told their respective partners to STFU, listen and don't walk out of the room, until they had finished EXPLAINING the issues. 4) At one point we got nothing on the time travel element and they just focused on company shenanigans. But this was also clearly soul transmigration because they didn't give two craps about what happened to the real Che Ni that must have been trapped in Bo Wei's body back in 2000.
But other than that, this was alright. There was another obligatory History cameo. This was possibly the tamest of the History series.
Well at least NuengDiao's kidnapped picture was more bad ass than Rain's in LITA.
Palm was annoying this episode.
It's over. Don't expect any profound bodyguarding because Palm was terrible, which made sense since he wasn't trained. His dad pretty much forced him to come look after the rich kid of the family that gave them money. In the real world, they'd both be dead.
Don't expect a profound villain because Uncle Kit talked too much, but the actor did a good job.
The story strayed sometimes and that death was still unnecessary in my book.
The priorities and decisions of the characters will piss you off.
For me it started off strong, then fizzled off in the middle. It failed as an action/thriller by how ridiculous it was sometimes, but it worked as a Rom-Com because their island scenes were actually the best scenes.

About time they start normalizing therapy and asking for help in these shows instead of having the characters bottling up all that trauma.
