So fun just too little time seen as a couple
This show was so adorable and I'm so glad I watched it! I loved the characters and their friendship with each other so much! The couples were all so cute too! I think the plot was really simple, and I think it was perfect for this type of show. I wish it was longer! Eight episodes wasn't enough.I absolutely loved Leeith and Putter so much! I love how complex both of their characters were. Episode one they seem like they're going to be one way and then as the show went on you really saw so many sides to each of them individually and even more so when they started dating. I just loved and adored them both so much. Also, huge shoutout to the stylist for all of Leeith's outfits. He had the coolest style I've ever seen and want to raid his closet right now.
Indy kind of drove me nuts sometimes but I loved seeing him grow closer to Jia and how their relationship developed. Even before Jia when he was going for Faye, it was so cute. I didn't care for Faye though; she was a jerk.
I liked the rest of the friend group a lot, both the girls and the guys; they were all so fun! I feel like even with some of them we didn't see as much as others, they still all had their own personalities and relationships with people and I loved that a lot.
My one complaint is how little we got to see the couples together once they were dating. I know we got a bit more for Leeith and Putter than we did for Indy and Jia, but still I wanted more. I wanted to see more of them all as boyfriends. There was just too much time spent on the breakup. We didn't need two episodes for that. I doubt we will, but I'd love a season two or even a special episode.
So cute and so fun! Highly recommend!

Silly and a cool concept
I loved to see PondPhuwin in anything and was happy to see them in this. I think they did a great job with these characters as well. We actually got quite a few kisses from them in these two episodes which was nice to see. I loved how silly and flirty they were with each other because it made the relationship feel more real. I loved hearing their letters they wrote for each other too. I really liked this and I thought the concept was cool and I thought that it played out pretty nicely too. I liked their relationship and seeing them grow stronger after going through this. I think two episodes was the perfect length for this story because I don't think it would've been as interesting if they drew it out for a whole series.My one complaint is some of the dark/night scenes were so dark you couldn't see anything!!

I needed more Heart and Li Ming!
I watched this because I saw a clip of GeminiFourth's story and wanted to check it out. I absolutely loved their storyline so much! I love Heart and Li Ming as characters individually as well as together. Their scenes together were my favorite! Heart was such a loveable and funny character and Gemini did a great job playing him! Li Ming was my favorite character in the series overall. I loved how he learned sign language to be able to communicate with Heart easier! So sweet! Everything he ever fought with his uncle about; I was always on his side rather than Jim's. I loved what he stood for and what he fought for. I just adored his character and Fourth did a great job as well. I just think the two of them are such incredible actors!!I liked Wen a bit, I think out of the adults he is who I liked the best. I liked how he was always trying to make Jim see Li Mings pov on things. I thought he was pretty caring and funny too. As for his relationship with Alan, I was happy to see him move out of their place. I think it would've been impossible for Alan to be able to move on if he stayed there any longer. I think Alan needed to wake up and realize that Wen already moved on and they couldn't be together. I understand why he would be confused in moments with them sleeping together as well as living together though. Their one big fight scene felt so real, and I have to give major credit to First and Mix for that! Love them!
Now about Jim...I didn't like this man the entire show. He was grumpy, negative, always giving Li Ming a hard time for no reason, and was just very unlikeable to me. I just constantly disagreed with what he was doing or saying. I was never on his side when he was fighting with Li Ming or Wen, and just never liked how he handled most things. The thing that pissed me off the most was when he was mad at Li Ming for being gay when he's gay himself. I did think his best and sweetest moments were with Wen. They were pretty cute together and I of course LOVE EarthMix!
I loved Kaipa! Him or Wen were the two adults I liked the best! He was so loveable and I loved seeing Khaotung play such a sweet guy (feel like it doesn't happen often). I really thought we were going to get more of him and Alan sooner in the show, but I actually really liked that it just was a little thing at the end. All the stuff with his mom passing made me so emotional. It was so beautifully done. My heart hurt for him. I felt bad about his crush on Jim not working out and Khao's acting made you really feel his heartbreak. So sad.
I liked Saleng and Praew for what we saw of them. We didn't really see very much of Praew at all, but I liked hers and Saleng's relationship. I loved that Saleng really stepped up to work hard now that he was becoming a father. So sweet.
Overall, I did like this show, but I will say that the Li Ming and Heart storyline was way more interesting than the main storyline with Wen and Jim. There were quite a few moments I was bored with their story where I was always looking forward to and wanted more of Heart and Li Mings. That could be because I didn't care for Jim though. That being said, I am happy I watched it. I love this cast of actors so much and am always happy to see them in something.

It was more about romance than revenge
I loved our main group of characters a lot, especially Sun. I loved seeing how his character changed throughout the show. I loved his relationship with Jay too. It was kind of toxic a bit, especially at the beginning, but I still loved it. I was eating it up. Their chemistry is incredible!! The spice scenes, especially in episode 8, were insane! Craziest thing I've ever seen! It was wilder than KinnPorshe. I loved seeing these two on screen together.I liked Sky a lot too. He was such a little cutie. I'm glad he was able to get over his trauma a bit too.
I think Sunny was a great villain! I He was such a piece of garbage but that made him really enjoyable to watch as a bad guy. I loved getting to see Fuaiz again as well!
It was nice seeing Boss as well, even though I didn't care for his character. He was a little creepy.
All the acting in the show was great. I really enjoyed Min's acting the most. He did such an incredible job, especially for it being his first main role.
I will say though, for a show about revenge, the revenge was so unimportant. It felt like an afterthought for a lot of the show, especially in the second half. I was looking forward to seeing the revenge and we really didn't focus on that at all which was kind of strange to me. I still enjoyed the show a lot, just thought that was weird and where it lost a couple points for me. I think it became too much about the romance that they forgot what the premise of the show was.
I loved the show overall and would love if we could get a special episode or even a season two. I don't know if that will happen, but I want more with these characters.

Wish I skipped this one
This show was so mid. It didn't ever really hook me either, but I decided to stick with it. The characters to me weren't very interesting and neither were the relationships. I really didn't care for a single character in this show which is made it hard to care about the relationships at all. There wasn't anything wrong with the show really, just very eh the entire time. I didn't care for a lot of the acting either, but I think it was more on the script rather than the actors. The chemistry between the cast was great though. I honestly wanted to give it a 3/10 but since there wasn't anything exactly wrong with it, I gave it an extra point.Was this review helpful to you?
A little boring
For a web type series, I thought this was pretty decent. I liked our two main characters and thought they were cute together. The concept of the show was nice as well. I liked seeing them get closer again as they worked on their play. I do wish we got to see more of the play at the end since that's what it all was leading up to. Overall, I thought it was cute but a little boring at times.Was this review helpful to you?

Could've benefited from being longer
I really enjoyed this show a lot! The main two characters had great chemistry together as well as were just interesting individuals as well. The plot was great too and I enjoyed it through the end. I've never seen these actors before, and I think they did a great job. Song Ha Neul being the bad guy wasn't shocking to me at all, I predicted that pretty early on, but me predicting that didn't ruin the show for me by any means. I wish the show had more episodes honestly because I would've loved to see the characters background and even their relationship more fleshed out. The finale did feel a bit rushed to me honestly and that is my one complaint. I just wish it was longer! I think it could've really benefited from having at least one more episode.Was this review helpful to you?

They should've been their own movies
Before anything else, I just want to say I watched this with no subtitles. So, I really had to go off of context clues and the little bit of Thai I know. I just really wanted to watch it since Nani was in it. Anyway, since this is broken up into three stories, I'll also breakup my thoughts for each story.Story one:
This one was my favorite out of the three. I thought the story was the most interesting. It was a pretty standard story of homophobia but also added that the gay character was also disabled and overweight. I do think the two were cute friends, but they really didn't respect each other at all. Gent was embarrassed to be friends with Gent and wanted to keep it a secret and Nana posted about him anyway. I'm not condoning how Gent treated him at all, I just wanted to point out that Nana wasn't perfect either. I think this story could've been better if it also showed Gent's perspective and not just Nana's so we could see how both of them were truly thinking. It was a good concept, but it could've used some tweaking a bit.
Story two:
This one was really boring to me and pretty forgettable. I think it was because it needed to be longer and more fleshed out but instead was the shortest out of the three. I loved the concept of this one a lot, but it was so rushed. It would've been nice to see more of it all. I like that he returned home accepting and even with a boyfriend at the end, but because it was so short it just felt like we didn't really get to see him struggle with it all and then come to terms with it.
Story three:
This one I think was the longest out of the three. Tae was such an unlikeable character. I feel bad that he has to prostitute himself out, but he was such a jerk. He was awful to everyone. I didn't like Nont either since he was sleeping with high schoolers, but somehow, he was still more likeable than Tae. This story was entertaining, but you really will hate everyone in it.
Overall, I did enjoy this movie especially for not knowing what exactly is being said half the time. I think even without subtitles though, it was pretty easy to understand and follow along to. I think all three stories could've just been better as a movie of their own instead of all crammed into one.

Park Jihoon does it again
I finally had the chance to watch this and I absolutely loved it! The acting from everyone was incredible, especially Park Jihoon! Jihoon's acting will never fail to amaze me. I liked the story a lot as well. It was a great story with such a tragic ending and the fact it's based off a real event makes it even more devastating. I loved seeing King Dan Jong bond with the village folk. You can tell he was a very loved ruler by how many people were willing to die for him and to fight by his side. He was very kind as well. I loved his friendship with Mae Hwa a lot. His letter to her in the end made me cry. The ending in general made me cry quite a bit, which I wasn't expecting at all. My only complaint was I wish they explained some characters titles a bit better (Some of the people of the palace for example), other than that I had no complaints. The costuming and sets were beautiful as well. This movie was really fantastic, and I can see why it was doing so well in numbers in Korea!Was this review helpful to you?

Plotlines with unsatisfying endings
I'm not going to lie the writing in this show was pretty bad. The plot wasn't very thought out either. It just felt like the show was trying to have too many plotlines going that didn't really entirely matter or had a good start and then was wrapped up quickly and not satisfying at all (an example is we kept hearing about how Phali wasn't over his girlfriend and then once the two of them got back together we never saw them together again except maybe once or twice and they didn't feel like a couple at all). The thing that bothered me the most though was that the show is called Wednesday Club, but we barely ever saw all seven members together at the same time. We saw the first meeting and maybe a few other times, but for the most part we just saw the same pairs of people interacting over and over. I just really wish we got to see them all develop some kind of relationship with each other, but we really didn't. I think this show had great potential but just needed some major tweaking in the writing room.Characters:
Kong: He was really nice and clearly cared about his friends a lot. It was cute seeing him fall for Tam and I liked that they ended up together. Him and May had chemistry together too, but I definitely think Tam was more suited for him. I felt bad for him for how he's always been treated by his family, even if it was with a reason, it doesn't make it any better. After the first episode or two we didn't really see his and Phali's friendship much either which I thought was weird since they started this whole thing.
Phali: He really shouldn't have tried to get with Tam when he wasn't over his past girlfriend. I thought he was a pretty funny character but after him and Tam split, I feel like we didn't see him much at all, and especially not with his girlfriend (like I mentioned previously). I did feel bad for him when we heard about what happened with the two of them in the past. I liked seeing that he does and enjoyed doing the volunteer work and seeing him trying to make it right with different people he's wronged. Again, I wish we got to see of more of his friendship with Kong. Shoutout Nani, he was the whole reason I watched this show in the first place.
Kun: He sucked. I didn't like his character at all. I did feel bad for him in different moments for sure, but overall, he was just an asshole and was quite rude. I get he was trying to make money for his family, but he was awful to people (especially Mac) for literally no reason.
Pheem: He was such a sweetie. Not only for everything he was trying to do for Mink, but how he took care of May as well. His crush on May was really sweet too. I loved seeing the scenes with his family as well. He was just the nicest of all the characters for sure.
Mac: This poor dude. Every time he was on screen I just felt bad for him. Someone was always being mean to him, or he was going through something. I loved his friendship with Kong a lot. I didn't really have strong opinions on him other than I just felt bad for him.
Tam: She was the other character I thought was really sweet. Even when she was being mean to her family, I didn't blame her at all and thought they deserved worse for all they put her through. Her crush on Phali was cute but I definitely liked her better with Kong. Her friendship with May was really sweet too and I liked seeing what they brought out in each other.
May: I liked May and thought she was one of the most interesting characters. She was one of the more complex I feel out of everyone. I knew her crush on Kong wouldn't go anywhere because man never seemed interested at all. I loved her friendship with Tam as well as her relationship with Pheem. She always just brought something interesting to the show which I liked.

The best MuTeLuv!
This is definitely my favorite out of the MuTeLuv series. I loved the storyline of the cult two cults a lot. I liked Ploy as a character a lot! I kind of love that we got to see her start the second cult with Phu as well. I feel like stories like these never have the mc join the bad guy, so I loved that she did and we got to see that. I figured she'd leave the cult eventually, but I liked that we got to see her in it and fight for it for a bit. Phu was a pretty interesting character to me. I liked seeing how his character changed throughout the episodes. I loved getting to see Prem play a cult leader I can't lie, it was so fun! I loved Wutkrai as well. I liked the twist that he wasn't part of the cult and was actually undercover. I wish they explained a bit more about his powers because I think they were cool. I loved his character a lot and knew he'd fall for Ploy. Father was so goofy as well which made it really fun to watch him. This series was just really fun, and I thought the writing was pretty decent as well for how short the series is. My favorite of these miniseries so far!!Was this review helpful to you?

Shin and Saint are in love
I watched this because I'm currently going through all of Nani's works, but I'm so glad I watched it. I really liked this a lot. I love the cast so much! So many of my favorites and familiar faces in this which I loved. Sky and Nani have incredible chemistry and it's crazy that this was their first project together. Amazing! I thought the whole cast was great together. I loved the plot and concept of the show a lot as well. I loved seeing how Jan and Sung would solve problems between the kids and seeing how much they cared for and fought for them, especially when all the other teachers already gave up on them. I really enjoyed watching everyone's growth over the series as well. None of it felt rushed and all felt very natural. Also have to say that I loved that the boys in class never messed with the girls and stood up for them a lot. I feel like that showed that they were good people deep down. Small detail but I really liked that. This was a lot of fun to watch!Characters:
Saint: I loved seeing how much he cared for his friends, especially Shin, and how hard working he was. I loved that he didn't fight just to fight like some of the others and really only did when it was for his friends. He's definitely in love with Shin.
Shin: He was my favorite character. He was so caring towards so many people, especially his friends, but didn't put up with bullshit either. He is way more forgiving than I ever could be so props to him because personally I wouldn't have ever been able to forgive Saint. I love his relationship with Saint though and was happy he didn't immediately be friends with him again because of what he did to him. He's definitely in love with Saint. I really liked his relationship with Chatjen as well! I loved how close they were. I know he was pretty good friends with First and Thiu as well, but I feel like we didn't see much of a bond between them other than them just following Shin around. Loved his relationship with his sister too! So cute!
They should've just had these two get together. It was so gay between them, and they were flirting all the time. Stop queer baiting and let them be together.
Jan: I loved her! Like I said before I loved what her and Sung did for the kids. She was a bit dramatic at times about just wanting to resign or say she was an awful teacher every time it didn't go her way but other than that I did like her a lot.
Sung: I thought he was just okay at first, but he grew on me throughout the series and like I said before I liked what he did for the kids. I liked learning that he used to be a troublemaker too and how he's changed since the accident in high school.
Chatjen: I loved him! He was so smart and so caring! I liked seeing him always try to help the others get along. He really helped with Shin and Saints relationship a lot too. I was sad when he said he was going abroad, but I loved the conversations him and Saint and Shin had prior to him leaving to help him feel better about leaving. I just loved him a lot and he was one of my favorites.
Ken: I hated this man. By the end he did grow quite a bit and he was more tolerable. I just didn't like him at all throughout 90% or more of the show. I will say I liked his relationship with the twins a lot. Their friendship was really sweet. I felt bad about his home life too.
Knot and Nate: I didn't care for the twins throughout the most the show either. I liked how good of a relationship they had with each other as well as with Ken. That was really nice to see. I was happy when they were getting more screentime in the final episodes just because I love AJ and JJ.
Cable: I love Mark so much, so I was happy to see him in this. I was waiting for him to stand up against his mother because he just looked so sad all the time. I do feel like even when it was his moment in the show (him running away), that it was still kind of an afterthought or something. A lot of the characters got a storyline where they were pretty much the main focus but even during his storyline, Ken's was more of a focus. So, I wish we got a little bit more with him because I think it could've been done a bit better. I liked him just felt bad for him more than anything.
Peeta: I hated her from beginning to end. She just felt entitled, didn't listen to what anyone was saying, and just selfish. We saw that a lot during her fight with Eve, but it was there even before that. Even by the time the show was done I just didn't like her at all. She didn't have much growth really at all either. I'm pretty sure I even liked Ken better by the end than her.
Eve: I kind of went back and forth for a bit if I liked her or not. At first, she didn't really listen to anyone either. Once the thing with the painted locker happened and she started getting closer to Airy, I liked her a lot better and could see how she was changing. I liked her friendship with Peeta and loved her relationship with Airy a lot. I definitely think they like each other.
Airy: She was kind of just forgettable to me for the first chunk of the show until she started getting closer to Eve. I really liked her a lot after that. I think they brought out a fun part of each other. She definitely likes Eve a lot.
First and Thiu: They seemed a bit more important in the first few episodes and then after that I feel we barely saw them. I thought we'd get to see more of theirs and Shin's relationship, but we didn't. I wish we got to though to see why they're apparently good friends.
Chingching: SO CUTE! Loved her!! She really helped with Shin and Saints relationship a lot too!

Pretty standard romance
I enjoyed watching this. I haven't seen a lot of straight Thai romances, but this one seems to follow the same formula as other Asian dramas. I don't mind that though. The beginning of the show seemed to follow Mirin a bit more where the later episodes seemed to follow Vee more and I liked that we got both. I liked the story overall too. Nothing was drawn out in my opinion which I liked a lot. I thought it wrapped up pretty good too. I didn't really like that Chanon's mom ended up as the CEO, but I get why they did that.I loved Vee as a character a lot. He was really funny and so caring. I loved seeing how much he'd do if it meant his love ones were happy. I liked seeing his story with his mother too, especially once he found her. I love Dew so much (he's the reason I watched this in the first place).
I liked Mirin for the most part as well. She annoyed me in some moments, but I liked her overall. Her actress did a pretty good job too for the most part.
I liked the two of them together as well. I thought they brought different sides of each other out which was nice to see. They had so many cute moments together that made them feel like a realistic couple.
I didn't trust Chanon's vibes right off the bat, so I wasn't shocked when he starting being shitty. I just never got good vibes from him.
Thanya was obviously garbage and I didn't like her one bit. Everything I've seen her actress in she has been awful so props to the actress for playing that so well. I liked Ewes a lot, she was a good character.
Manit and Maew Kwak were such useless characters until they did the thing for Thanya. I genuinely think they weren't needed at all. They could've had that story still but just had it be two nameless characters and I think it would've been the exact same. It was nice seeing Pepper and JJ, but I stand by what I said.
It's not long and it's pretty enjoyable so I would recommend!

A little rushed at points but overall, really good
I want to start this off by saying that I have seen China's show years before this one (Meteor Garden), so I went in already knowing that story. This one is much shorter than China's as well so I knew quite a lot of story would be cut compared to that one. I did like this show, but not as much as China's. I think this version just skipped over a lot of the relationship building between Gorya and Thyme. Him changing into a better person was a bit rushed as well. A lot of it just felt rushed to me. Even the story of Ren with Mira was done and over with so quickly.Other than that, I enjoyed quite a bit. I loved the bond of the F4 boys so much. I loved seeing how different members were with each other too because even though the four of them are all friends, they still interacted and acted different depending on who they were with. I liked seeing how the four of them all were with Gorya too. Not just Thyme and Ren, but I loved seeing how MJ and Kavin were with her too. I like the characters in this show a lot. Ren is my favorite of the boys (and not just because of Dew lol), but I love all the F4 boys a lot. Gorya does annoy me sometimes, but I love how she always stands up for herself and those she cares about. She's so strong and brave and I love that.
I love Dew and Nani a lot too so I'm always happy to see them (Dew is the whole reason I watched this to begin with). Same with Fourth, he's so cute and young in this!! I loved Win and Brights acting a lot too. A lot of the support cast were familiar faces too which I enjoyed seeing.
As for Tu who played Gorya, I have to say I didn't like her acting. I just recently saw her in Magic of Zero and didn't like her acting there but I thought it was just because of what that show was. After seeing her in this, I just think I personally don't like her acting. I felt like she was yelling almost all of her lines. Obviously, it makes sense sometimes (like on the rooftop/arguing/etc.) but there were so many other times where I feel like she was having a conversation with someone and they were talking at a normal volume, but she was yelling. When she yelled too her voice became super high pitched and whiny which just annoyed me.

Incredible cast, pretty good story
I've never heard of this movie, but it popped up on my suggested page so I thought I would check it out. I love and adore Bogummy so I was excited to see something else he was in. Same with Gong Yoo! They both did amazing as always. I liked Ki Heon as a character a lot. I liked that he had layers to him and felt a real sense of guilt and that was one of the reasons he wanted to help Seo Bok and it was more than just for selfish reasons (even though that's what he kept saying). I loved Seo Bok. I feel like with these types of stories they also make the clones/robots/etc. so cold and stiff feeling, but Seo Bok wasn't at all. He felt like a real person or even kind of like a child discovering the world for the first time. He had real emotions and more human like movements which I liked a lot. I liked seeing the two of them get to know each other over the movie as well. I figured either one or both of them weren't making it out of the movie alive, just because that's usually how these stories go. I liked that it kept talking about humans' greed and the way they talked about death as well. I liked this quite a bit and would recommend if you like action sci-fi!Was this review helpful to you?
