A small town where nobody knows what a kdrama is
On Drunk to Love You Jun 24, 2024
Now this is one of the most real couples I've seen in dramaland. The leads felt like a couple from the first moment the met. The actors had amazing chemistry and it wasn't the type of fire that burns out but is a steady and constant warm flame.

Their physical intimacy was that of a real couple. Playing with each others hair, laying their hands on each others sides or knee, holding hands, etc. There were so many small touches that I think show more than explicit scenes. They felt familiar and comfortable with each other. You could see the physical trust and love they had. They felt like genuine love.

Of course there's dumb stuff because it's a web series, but if you want to see a great and real couple, watch this.

Okay sooo, Yan Ci’s role was pretty dark but his acting was pretty good. The show is a perfect example that…
I think that not everyone needs a romantic love in their life to be happy. He needs time to get over his love for someone that he's loved his whole life. He now has her back in his life as a friend and has Yu Zhou as a friend as well. He needs time to cope, move on, and adjust to finally having a support system by his side.

The people that are rating this so low are the ones that want her to end up with the toxic ML. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean that the FL should deal with mistreatment. The ML had issues he needed to deal with, instead of taking it out on her.

You'll enjoy the show if you watch it knowing she ends up with the kind 2nd ML.

This was really good for a modern Chinese web series. It has a pretty original screenplay, has good emotional aspects and psychological concepts, and doesn't follow your typical plotlines.

The ML is young and immature so he's unable to express himself properly and he's unable to cope with his grief. He takes that out on the FL and unlike typical dramas, she draws the line. She chooses the second ML who is kind, gentle, and respectful. She chose the one who would treat her right. It doesn't really appear that she ever had romantic feelings for the ML, but she cared for him deeply and felt loss over their friendship. The ML eventually learns how to deal with his grief and how to appreciate the friends that he has as he grows older.

For a web series, this is a solid 8. The ending is a bit lackluster, but the originality, quality acting, and three dimensional leads made for a great web series watch.
On We Are Little Zombies Jun 12, 2024
As humans we're not supposed to deal with so much stress, tragedy, and death, it's more natural for us to lose our empathy and sympathy to protect ourselves form feeling too much. We become saddened by death until we're saddened enough to not have enough energy to care. Just as over-consumption makes us lose our ability to enjoy, desensitization makes us become less human. Now we have become zombies.

Person Lee Si Woo
He's an extremely charismatic actor. I hope he doesn't continue to be type casted a a bully and villain his whole career..
On Boyhood Jun 2, 2024
Title Boyhood
This was good, but it could've had much more depth into it. The trauma related to being a victim of bullying and the reason behind why people becomes bullies could've brought more emotional depth. There should've been more bromance between the ML and the bully before he got his memory, so that we could see the bully was still human that could get hurt and feel betrayal. They should've explored why he became a bully in the first place and how losing his memory could've been a hit of reality for him to realize who he was. There should've been more hurt for the ML bully friend group as well, they were friends for awhile and realizing that he had been lying should have hurt them. Just bullying him afterwards should've included at least some hesitations because they were his friends. They also could've showed how the bully group felt being treated different by the ML vs GyeongTae.

This show had all the workings to be a complex drama about what it means to fight, to be hurt, and to want to hurt. This could've been a great psychological drama.

The hospital scene in ep 6 was so well done. When he said "you're all I had" I lost it. What an amazing line delivery and emotional crying.
On Tender Light May 27, 2024
Title Tender Light
This is one the most most well written mysteries I've seen and I've definitely was of the best Chinese dramas I've ever seen. The only negative thing is the ending. You can tell that Chinese censorship/executives got their hands involved because the ending is rushed and doesn't match the moral and storyline of the rest of the show. The show is a 9/10 until the last few minutes. So watch it and lower you're expectations for the ending.

This is not a drama for people low on empathy. This drama shows two imperfect people, their trials in navigating…
It's really interesting how there are so many comments hating on the characters and the "red flags." That was the point. To show flawed individuals shaped by trauma and loss fall in love and deal with further difficulty. Having different perspectives in life and holding onto those goals rather than just immediately switching to the other's belief is much more realistic and wouldn't last in a long-term relationship.

I think it was beautiful seeing realistic characters make mistakes and reflect.
On Will Love in Spring May 25, 2024
I actually really enjoyed the FL. She was a breath of fresh air. She was mature, intelligent, wise, but imperfect. Her complex regarding her disability and her trauma with loss shaped how she reacted to different things. She would be extremely mature in one scene and childish in the next. She made mistakes, but then reflected on them and analyzed why she reacted the way she did.

She is one of the most realistic characters I've seen and I much rather imperfect good matured characters than perfect characters who do no wrong.
On Step by Step Love May 22, 2024
This is one of the best most believable cdramas couples I've ever come across. They have great communication, are on the same level (mindset/headspace/equal power), have crazy chemistry, and share a really believable emotion intimacy and physical intimacy with all the gentle touches.

I fastforwarded all of the business and family drama up until the 20th episode where I gave up. The screenwriters who wrote such an interesting show for the first half went off the deep end trying to drag the series out. So 8/10 for eps 1-15. After that it goes downhill.

Title Eye Love You Spoiler
The beginning of the show was really good. The couple was fun, sweet, and simple. The series would've been much…
The whole thing with the picture book was completely nonsensical and dumb. There's no reason for the events to match up like that with the red ribbon, bubbles, and turtle thing. Min Hana didn't come from the future, so there's no way she could have written that to perfectly map out everything. And my gosh, are you telling me that when her boyfriend died she just assumed it was because of her power? She didn't think to look into the reason why and how he died and didn't know that he had past heart problems? She didn't look at the autopsy report and instead made an assumption out of thin air, then wrote a whole book about it, and ended up feeling guilty for 20 years??

Alsooo, why would Tae-Ho be willing to stay with her even if he'll die? They really didn't go through enough for their love for each other to be that deep. The whole time, it felt like they were in the beginning stages of a relationship. They felt like new lovers, not "I'll die for you" lovers.
On Eye Love You May 20, 2024
Title Eye Love You
The beginning of the show was really good. The couple was fun, sweet, and simple. The series would've been much better if it had stayed a light-hearted romance and ended it with only 6-8 episodes instead of 10.

Instead they dragged out the plot by adding a partial love triangle, miscommunication, a FL who can't express herself, and took the supernatural plot too seriously. Sometimes magical things can just stay mysterious, we don't need to know how, why, and what the history of the power is. The power could have just been a fun plot point instead of an annoying way to drag out the plot and in turn kill the fun the power brought.
