The acting!!!

This Drama is so well acted, it blew me away! Probably one of the best I’ve seen. The story/plot is a bit confusing at times. It’s the kind of drama that goes back and forth between current life and past life to build the story. It gives each character involved their point of view on the subject at hand. It is frustrating at times, but only because you want the truth to come out for everyone involved. This is a well written, directed, produced, and especially acted Drama. The child actors have a bright acting future ahead of them! I will absolutely watch this again. I’m sure when I do, I will pick up on things I missed the first time around. I especially liked the ending. When you watch it, you’ll know what I mean. I finished this Drama days ago, but it is still in my head. It’s that kind of Drama. I’m sure all you Drama lovers will know what I mean by that. Some stay with you, and some don’t.

DO YOU LIKE REVENGE?

If you like a drama filled with revenge, this is the drama for you. Every single episode has some form of it. Revenge was all over the place…the main couple, the side couple, the side/side couple, friends, fellow employees. It has love, hate, jealousy, violence, resentment, plot twists, oh, and did I mention revenge… The acting, writing, directing, producing all were excellent. I couldn’t stop watching it. One minute I was crying, the next I was angry, then I was rooting different characters on. This is a very heavy drama that maybe everyone wouldn’t like. At times my stomach was in a knot. It does not leave you feeling “happy and light hearted,” that’s for sure. If you decide to watch it, be ready to be put in a kind of anxious, sort of sad mood. All I can say is this is a must watch! One of the best revenge dramas I’ve seen, actually THE best.

This could have been a really good movie. It was ok, but the timeline was a bit confusing. The scene in the beginning really confused me, and doesn’t even tie into the story. If anyone watches this, and could explain it to me, I would really appreciate it. It was a very serious movie about suicide, and what family and friends go through when someone decides to take their own life. I don’t want to give the story away, but one suicide was not even discussed during the end of the movie. I felt it made the movie feel un- finished. I wish it was a bit longer so these loose ends could have been explained. Still, it was worth the watch. I did shed a few tears. I even watched the beginning scene again thinking I missed something important, but nada…

This was a good BL, with a cute story, and a quick 45 minute watch. It was mostly music with a bit of story attached. I thought the actors were excellent. Really not much of a plot, but well written. Basic story is a singer who wants to succeed, a man he met in the process, and they fell in love. A little more to it than that, but not much. I am satisfied with the ending, which I can’t say with some BL’S and dramas in general. I don’t think I would watch it again, once was enough. I maybe would have liked a little more romance between the two main characters. All in all, I liked it, and would suggest watching it.

This was the slowest Kenshin movie. A lot less fighting (a lot), and more focused on a love story. I understand why it was more slow paced, but it didn’t make it any less enjoyable to watch. The acting, as with the other movies, was excellent. I felt it really summed it all up. It made all of the other Kenshin movies have more meaning, because you realize how he developed in to who he is in the future. Now that I’ve watched this, I’ll be watching the whole series over again. I think it will mean so much more to me now. I’m sure that everyone that has watched the other Kenshin movies will also watch this, and will understand what I mean.

This short Drama/movie was very sad. The acting was good, as was the story. I felt like it should have been longer, and that the love story should have progressed a bit more. It seemed like with the short run time, it was a rushed. The ending couldn’t have ended any other way. Without giving the story away, she didn’t want to be a burden to anyone. She had to do it her own way, and think of what would be good for others, but especially herself. It left me with a mixture of feeling sad, confused, anxious and unsettled. It was a good watch, but only watch it if you are prepared for an ending with mixed feelings…

Tissues…you will need a lot of them

This drama is near perfect. It is a roller coaster of emotions. The first half has many sad moments and emotions, and keeps you guessing what direction it’s going. The second half, when the story really starts to develop, has moments when I actually had to stop it because I was getting too emotional. The last two episodes really got me good, and kept me guessing how it would end, right up to the last minute. Only watch this if you want your heart ripped out of your chest while you use mountains of tissues. The acting was excellent, but at times the female lead seemed a little awkward during romantic scenes. If you want a drama that is on the serious side, keeps you guessing, and leaves you feeling sad and happy all at once, I highly recommend this one.

Funny...Funny and extremely funny!!

I laughed all through this drama. The comedy in this is excellent, as are the actors, plot, and ending. The misunderstandings are well written and executed, to make the ML’s appear to be gay. If you are looking for something to lighten your mood, something short, something you can just watch and laugh your a** off in almost every scene, then definitely watch this. I went in to this not knowing what to expect. I was just looking for something short and not serious, something I could just watch and not think while I was watching it. I picked the right drama/comedy for that. I can’t believe the rating for this isn’t higher! I guess it’s not everybody’s taste in humor.

Ok, the mother in this drama was controlling and very irritating, the ML apologized to the FL every other scene, the FL lied to the ML a little too often, and lastly, the ML kept putting up with the FL lying, controlling, sometime sullen, it’s “never my fault” attitude. But yet he still believed in her, loved her, put up with anything she dished out, and forgave her every time, right up to the end. No matter what she did, or what her family did to him, he was forgiving, loving and apologetic as ever. So stating all of the above, why did I rate this drama at a 9? It’s because of all of the above. I could watch Jung Hae In all day, every day! He is a great actor with believable emotions. Son Ye Jin was also great in her part, but I hated her for the way she let her family control her, so it made me not like her in this drama. But, I have to keep thinking it was the script and not her, so....I shouldn’t hate her for that. To me, this is a must watch love story, that is very emotional to watch. I’m still crying! THE BEST PART IS, I heard season 2 will air in 2022!! I hope I heard right, or I’ll be very disappointed 😞

I found myself fast forwarding through most of the second half of this drama. It’s too bad, because the basic plot was good, but the way it was carried out was bad. I felt that the ML and FL had no chemistry what so ever. I cringed watching them kiss. All in all I felt the story was a bit confusing at times. I should have read all of the reviews before I chose to watch it. I was kind of bored out of my mind, but at the point I realized this, I was halfway through it. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. I would say it was fair, but with all the filler they stuck in, it could have been half as long.

I just got done watching this drama, and I’m asking myself—What did I just watch? I cant call it a BL movie, because I don’t really think that’s what it was. It was more about method actors going way beyond the characters they were portraying in their play. They crossed the line and really started to have feelings for each other, like they did in their play. Or did they? It really kept you guessing right until the end. Even when it ended and the credits were running, you still didn’t know if they were really acting, or they really had feelings for each other. The acting was excellent and very believable. It kept me interested from beginning to end.

This was a cute drama, but slow at times. I found that the first few episodes were good, then it kind of slowed down to a crawl until the last few episodes, ( 14-15 & 16 were the best). The Crown Prince, played by Do Kyung Soo was perfect in his part. How he kept a straight face through some of the scenes was beyond me. A lot of comedy was in this drama throughout the middle episodes, but the last 3 episodes were more serious. The Crowned Prince lost his memory through most of the drama. Most of it was about that, with a few twists with the other characters. I could go into a lot more detail, but I don’t want to give too much away. I would definitely recommend watching it because it has pretty much everything you could ask for. It has comedy, romance, mystery, sadness and betrayal, and a pretty decent ending.

WOW, just WOW! I just finished watching this, and I am frustrated and in tears. I knew what the Drama was about, but actually watching it was an experience I didn’t expect to have. Silenced is about a teacher hired at a school for deaf children. First frustration was the school expected payment for hiring him. First of many signs of corruption and cover up. Then, after he started working there, that’s when he started witnessing abuse that went far beyond the school. The acting was excellent, both by the adults, but especially the children. If you’re not willing to witness child sexual and physical abuse, do not watch this movie. I mentioned that I was frustrated in the beginning of this review. It is because justice was not served because of all the corruption and cover up. Sorry to say this was based on a true story from the not too distant past. It is true in real life that justice wasn’t served. BUT, this movie did something good. That good was it shed light on the problems of the justice system with child sexual and physical abuse in the country, so much so, that laws were enacted to protect children experiencing this. The unfortunate thing is, these laws were passed after this happened, so the abusive people at the school got light sentences, and some went back to teaching. You will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. Through all the anger, frustration and tears I experienced, I would highly recommend this movie.

I mainly watched this because I am IN LOVE with Song Wei Long, but it far exceeded my expectations. Now that I watched it, I would have watched it without him in it. A love story between an older woman and younger man. How their love grew, even with her fighting with herself thinking that she was too old for him. She didn’t want to hold him back, and get in the way of his future. She tried to form another relationship with someone her age, but she just couldn’t forget him. The drama also had very endearing side love stories and what they all went through. Most importantly, the endings of all of these love stories were great, didn’t leave me feeling incomplete. I loved every minute of this drama, and have watched it twice already.
