When it first aired, I couldn't get past the 2nd episode. But after watching Our Generation and falling in love with the leads' chemistry, I tried to watch this again, but I still can't get past ep13. A wasted chemistry for me, like I wish there was less bickering and more feelings you know.
Thank God, I watched this without reading any of the reviews and comments. It was a great drama, the kind that makes you feel nostalgic and want to start everything from the start. I adored the fact that the leads, Yintao & Qiaoxi, never questioned their love for each other, no matter the circumstances. They were loyal even in their most vulnerable moments. I understand the choices they made, the choice to leave, to hide, to seek, to find and to continue. Keep in mind that, at the peak of the drama, they're just teenagers. They won't be making adult-like decisions. But none of that mattered, because in every choice of theirs, they had each other in mind.
Also, I loved the family & community that built them up. I love that all 5 parents viewed the other kids as their own kids, and that no matter how old the kids got and formed their own careers, they all circled back to each other.
The only thing I liked about this movie was the flood visuals. Everything else gets a zero. Also, why must a woman's test of strength and perseverance always relate to being a mother or looking after a child? Like, why can't it be her father, mother, sister or partner? There were so many turns this could've taken, but they chose the most basic one.
You know what makes a 29-episode drama last a lifetime? Soul. Speed & Love had soul. The chemistry is easily in my top 5 of all time. I’d put this drama, in terms of how it made me feel, right alongside Falling Into Your Smile, Lighter & Princess, Hidden Love, and When I Fly Towards You. I loved the world they built and the people in it — it felt lived in. My only complaint is that it was way too short.
Nope more like open ending. I made it to EP 30 because I couldn't stop watching it and then dropped it after that. The leads and fave side characters are all alive, it's just that the leads are not together in the end due to a situation.
My favourite novel ever. TGCF has me in a chokehold; I need to see this. The moment I saw that ZLH was cast as HC, my yearning quadrupled and I'm about to wreak havoc on everything.
KHEMJIRA delivered what the BL world has been missing. I was honestly skeptical at first — horror and BL? That sounded like a disaster waiting to happen. But dear lord, Khemjira shattered all my doubts. It’s now one of my absolute favourite series, not just within BL.
It’s a perfect blend of The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. The early episodes had just the right amount of scares, gradually giving way to emotions that left me wanting more by the end. The plot was so well thought out — not a single filler scene or unnecessary character. The soundtracks were beautiful, the chemistry and acting were flawless — it had everything I appreciate. Khemjira is truly a masterpiece made.
I actually really enjoyed this show. The production was fantastic, the soundtracks were on point, and it featured some of my all-time favourite actors. It was dramatic and wild — a thrilling ride from start to finish. As an avid fan of this genre, this one definitely goes on my favourites list. Also, we need to talk about Zee and Nunew’s chemistry. They weren’t even the main couple, but they might as well have been. And Boss? He was serving visuals (and expressions) every time he was on screen. Net had an amazing aura too. I’ll be eagerly waiting for Season 2!
I don't know what has happened to First ever since The Heart Killer, but he has become much more handsome. He was already so pretty, but now he's really handsome and masculine; I love watching him.
Let me just say — the casting, especially for Hua Yong, is chef’s kiss. Huang Xing fits the role so perfectly it’s almost unreal. When he’s in that softer, omega mode, there’s something so gentle and pretty about him — I actually catch myself pausing the screen just to look at him. There’s a scene where he’s surrounded by women, and somehow, he’s still the most beautiful one there.
Then he switches, when he is all Enigma, his entire energy changes, like suddenly he’s so intense and psychotic. But dear lord, he just becomes so much more handsome and masculine. It’s wild how he can shift like that and make both sides of Hua Yong feel completely real.
This was an alright show. But I did thoroughly enjoy the LeoWon journey. The participants in this season felt quite dull apart from a few, like Li Zihao and Na Yunseo. I think it's an editing style issue, tbh.
