Contemporary Crime Drama
StrangerK-Drama
Ep 32
Two Seasons
PG-13
I like Contemporary stories and Crime / Murder mystery so when I heard this was a mix of both I was excited!
Sadly it was just okay for me.
This show had great actors and 97% of them played morally grey characters. The only exception were the leads!
Let's do some pros & cons
Pros:
◇The acting
◇How it wasn't as dark and gory as it could be 👌 (Definitely PG-13)
◇The Leads
Cons:
◇It felt like it dragged at times
◇The plot twists were okay
◇The writing at times
◇Wanted more friendship & chemistry
Over all I am happy I watched this show. Would I recommend? If you like slow crime dramas then yes, if you like fast past thriller type then maybe not.
Rewatch? No

It was okay
PROS:◇Bai Jingting
◇Bai Jingting
◇Bai Jingting
Yes I 100% watched it just for him I am a huge fan of him and dk check out all his projects. I personally just wasn't feeling the plot of this one. The Humor and character development was great and the OST was great. It seemed like the plot dragged a little in the middle.
It wasn't for me but I know of a lot of people who LOVED it.
Overall glad I picked it up a one time watch for me personally.
On to Bai Jingting next project! 😊

Fast Paced Legal Drama
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (9.5 /10)Bad Prosecutor
2022
12 ep
PG13
📺:Viki & HiTV
PROS:
◇The comedy
◇Chemistry
◇Acting
◇The twists & turns 🙌🏽
CONS:
◇Fast healing charcters would get really hurt and then 24 hours or days later be fine. Like fighting & everything! 😅 You do need to expand your disbelief with that one.
◇Some use of strong language where I watched it they did censor it out but still.
Over all really enjoyed this one will 100% rewatch in a year or two!
Great crime Korean drama & it got me out of my slump!

Binge watched this whole show in three days and it was fantastic! Was this show perfect? No but it was close😘
What I liked 👍🏽
~Captain Ri aka Jung Hyuk men, talk about loyalty! The friendship is beautiful and they will do anything for each other. Just loved those boys! The respect and devotion of all the men just written so well. They deserve the world♡♡♡
~The story is so unique and just really pulled emotions out of me. Romance, Action, comedy and family drama. Just such a great mix of it all.
~Last but not least the realtionship between the leads. Respect, sweet, funny at times and they apologized when they missed up. It was just refreshing seeing a clean, good and healthy relationship in a drama❤
What I did not like 👎🏽
~The main bad guy was a very cartoon villian. We never really see the reason why, just because and didn't love that.
~The ending was to chill....that's all I will say cuz spoilers.
~The B Plot, just didn't really care much for them. It happens😁

Some language

It started strong then I lost interest in the middle and skipped around alot till the end.Pros:
◇The female actress I am a huge fun of & try to check out all her projects.
◇The side characters (the bromance)
◇The first half
Cons:
◇Melodrama & it's trope not a fan
◇The story dragged at times
◇MISCOMMUNICATION TROPE 🙈
I am glad I checked this one out & also happy I skipped around 😅
I like medical dramas and I'm slowly watching them or giving them a chance.

Truly a Hidden Gem
Daily Dose of Sunshine 📺:Netflix"A kind-hearted nurse working in psychiatry goes above and beyond to be a daily dose of sunshine for those under her care despite the challenges coming her way."
.
.There are stories that you just feel honored to have been able to watch. This show is one of them. ❤️
A hidden gem that touches on one extremely important topic. I wish everyone would watch it subbed or dubbed it really doesn't matter. Just please watch it when you're in the right head space for it.
I don't want to say much more than I respect everyone who was involved in this project. THANK YOU! Thank you for the care you all put into it!
From the writing, acting, production, true and respectful representation.
This show will be staying with me for the rest of my life. 🩷📺🥹

Watched it just for Yang Yang
Thus is a perfect reason why I don't like watching dramas (Chinese or Korean) before 2019. They usually have tropes that I'm not the biggest fan off 🥲PROS:
◇Yang Yang
◇Yang Yang
◇Yang Yang
CONS:
◇Acting was awkward at times, especially with hugs & kisses
◇THE CGI LOOKED OLDER THEN 2016 (more like Spy Kids 🙈)
◇So corny at times
◇The plot was okay
I can see how it can be a comfort watch to some, but sadly, it's not for me. I also watched this in 2023 and not when aired. Honestly, I picked it up just for Yang Yang & wanting to watch all his projects.

One Time Watch
While You Were SleepingKorean Drama
Romance, Comedy & mystery
2017
Viki & Hulu
TV14 (Pg13)
People that have visions of the future through dreams and they try to stop them from coming true. This is just the surface synopsis there is so much more.
It takes me usually two - three episodes to determine rather I like a show. I was hooked by the first 20 minutes. Also first drama where I enjoyed all the plots and side charcters.
PROS:
🌜The acting range was just amazing especially in the second half! All of them from our leads to the flash back kid/teen actors. Just lovely to see such talent!
🌜The story is very orginal and new to me. I haven't seen a show or movie with this concept before. The twist, turns and layers were just wounderful.
🌜Cute, sweet and wholesome moments were just adorable! The selflessness of the characters towards eachother just beautiful! The friendship and love was so believable and I'm a sucker for friendship stories.
🌜The tough themes I think were done carefully and gracefully. This is something that is hard to do in stories, which I give a lot of credit to the writers and actors.
CONS:
🌜The bathroom/potty jokes!🙄 They really took me out of the story and were just so immature. Mostly found in the first half (episodes 2-7). I have been told this is common in Kdrama. The 2nd half gets more serious and the stakes are high and jokes drop.
🌜Some editing choices the flashbacks and dreams were hard to till apart at first. Then they fix it and make it more noticeable.
Rewatch? Yes

Meolodrama
I want to start this review by saying the genre MEOLODRAMA is not for me.So this is "me not the show" situation. I didn't know the genre going in and part two definitely was MEOLODRAMA heavy.
One & Only is a historical, war, Meolodrama. This is Part one of the story/plot.
Forever and Ever is a modern day Meolodrama. This is part two of the story/plot.
Technology you don't have to watch Part One to fully understand Part Two but it's advised.
PROS:
◇Bai Lu is an amazing actress and I will ALWAYS give all her projects a try just for her. She was in the 1st Cdrama I ever watched so I'm a huge fan. ♡
◇Some of the side characters especially the kind ones. Loved them and wanted to protect them.
◇The OST
◇The Reborn trope always a fan.
CONS:
◇I didn't like the Meolodrama elements of it. (Again that's on me for not double checking the genre before going in)
◇Amazing actors but sadly didn't feel the chemistry between them.
The only reason I finished it was because I was promised a happy ending. Also that part two was lighter. Will it wasn't yes the LEADS got a happy ending but part two felt even more sad then part one at times.
Overall if you are a fan of Bai Lu and are trying to watch all her projects then maybe watch. If not maybe pass on it 🙈
Also many Trigger/ Content Warnings please look into before starting.
