Different in a good way
Wow this drama was really amazing, I am a huge fan of the ML and this series really made him shine, and we got to see a totally different side to him, and the role he played.The scenic shots were amazing and the different places that they travelled around, but this drama has exceeded expectations, introducing us to the leads in a dramatic opening-- ML almost died in a car accident but his blood revived the FL, and in turn she brought him back to life. The struggles due to personality differences between FL and ML, and FL's struggle to comprehend the new world while the story brings in a host of supporting characters. FL’s arrogant and domineering manner contrast with ML’s soft and submissive attitude was a refreshing watch!
Each episode was thrilling and filled with romance and comedy, completely gave me an emotional ride. There were a few scenes that left me doubtful and confused but I later on understood them so I can't say this is one perfect piece and is completely flawless.
in short, she is a joy to watch. Together with Qin Fang (Vin Zhang) and Yan Furui (Zhang Yichi), this trio is the heart of soul of this c-drama.
A big thumbs up to the ML for having done some so different and carried out so well, definitely well worth watch.

What an ending
This was a well thought and played out series.The story was very good and the follow of the acting went well, i loved the costumes and the ML that eventually should us his softer side. There were times when i thought the FL was a bit over the top and undecided on what she wanted. And also the whole misunderstanding between them and the added extra lies that she couldn't see through till was to late was a bit too much.
Overall this was a definitely worth a binge watch, the story came together and acting flowed through nicely.
Although i hated the ending because she ended up with wrong guy and disappeared while the ML was left to wonder around looking for clues and yet he knew it was fruitless.

Not bad
Although I have watched the series more than once and a few several times, I did miss seeing them in this, especially when the music played (flute).This movie was not what I had in mind, but it did make a whole more sense, as too what had happened, however the ending was a bit of let down, I would have thought they would have shown the second brother seeking his revenge on the third brother, but that was not the case here.
Although it was enjoyable it was a bit of a let down, due to the ending just being cut short like that.

Bad Ending
The series overall was a good length – I mostly enjoyed the storyline, characters and pacing. Everything seemed to fit together well in the bigger scheme of things. Except.. The ending. I was let down, and at times the FL was a bit naïve for me, I espcially found her friend (coffee shop owner) way more interesting, and her interactions with the other two ML was a bit more fun to watch then the ML and FL.The ending. Felt like they completely ignored everything that happened and did a 180 on what viewer's wanted and expected. Awkward time jump. There were times the acting was very off, especially with FL, she seemed to only express sadness and the ML could barely show any emotion on his face. The writing was sloppy, with too many unnecessary moments, so much time was wasted on the ex-friends Except episode 24 - was done to much needed extra screen time, and a total waste as far as I am concerned.

AN AMAZING & HEARTBREKING STORY
An Amazing Story that left you heartbroken and asking your self why would anyone go through all of that, at times you understood the reasons behind the tears and violence, and then were times were questioned if was right thing to do? and often the confusion of which way to go what is right and what is wrong? a family driven by greed and power torn apart for only one goal in mind? I felt the general consensus is that Scarlet Heart: Ryeo had a great story that was screwed up by messy editing/directing/pacing etc. Production was really excellent, the story flowed and kept you wanting more. It didn't disappoint one bit. I mean, after such high expectations, it is only natural to feel a little let-down just because of all the hype you've been experiencing. But Moon Lovers actually ended up surpassing all my expectations. The drama was perfect from the beginning till the end.it was extremely well-paced. I mean, for dramas it is rare to find such consistently well-paced dramas. Sometimes the beginning is not that good and sometimes the plot dies down after ep 12-16. But here, you never feel like there is too much or too little. It is really hard to skip anything. You just don't want to.

Predictable
This movies was really sweet to start off with, but took a turn to being predictable in the end...I’m tired of all these types of shows that have the viewer invested in a love story that has misunderstandings. Oh, and the usual female lead is too nice to tell her best friend she likes the same guy, so she sacrifices her feelings. these story lines do get kind of boring and so cliché.
There is no message to convey, just bringing the formula of teenage love story that full of misunderstanding in for the actors to play. They try to make a twist but it's a cliché twist, so it's not a twist in the end since audience can guess it right beforehand.
The acting was not bad, the music honestly cant even remember it.
Overall: I did find this movie extremely boring and so predictable, if you have 2hours to waste with really nothing to do then I guess go ahead and watch it.

A 13 Minute side story
so I had expected this to be a little more than I just watched.This was 13 minutes of just going through where they went together etc ... for me its not really a side story or a special, so I kind feel that this was a waste. It's more a glimpse of what changed between Oh-aew and The since the end of part 1. It helps us to understand better how their relationship evolved and thus we'll not be lost at the beginning of part 2. It's real transition, The says it himself. Now that there is no sun to watch, they have to watch the moon. And I think it's very beautiful.

Too Similar and Cell Phone Production
Video Chat Bromance genre, "See You After Quarantine" is a quick, breezy drama coming in at under 10 minutes per episode.I am pretty sure I saw the end credits stating it was shot on Cell phone? not sure of the make, but this seems to a normal for that particular time, and I am glad too see the technology is being put to good use (LOL)
Although this really felt like a Deja vu watching this , comparted to game boys, I was not overall impressed with this, and I did find very cliché .
Like I said this whole drama can be done in one sitting and probably within an an hour, the opening & closing credits could have been shorter and it was a waste of screen time (or Cellphone screen time)!!
In terms of acting not much to report as everything is recorded sitting or just talking through a lens, like a normal video chat call, the quality of the picture is not bad, but the overall story was a little boring for me.
Overall : if you have an hour to waste and stuck in traffic or something, then I guess you could try it out.

Wasted Screen time
This was not I was expecting, a whole lot of wasted time, of 12 episodes of 5 minutes long each.Why the hell could we not have put all of this into 1 series and possibly make it a mini series or something?
It could have been really good, if it was a little longer and more in-depth story line, to literally jam everything they could in each episodes to get from start to finish, and still tell something. So it does feel rushed most of the time, and even gag-y at times, bc they literally didn't have room to develop things.
Overall : its a real waste to watch this

ADULT VIEWING
Holy wow and gosh what has my eyes just seen.This movie was off the charts to anyone who is open minded and looks beyond the BDSM that was done in this movie. Firstly I am actually surprised that this was made, although there some parts that I felt were a bit over the top, but hats off to all who did this.
The story line was pretty much there but you only got too see and understand the reasons why they both needed and went through what they did, towards the end of the show.
This was definitely a hardcore, with superb acting.
Overall not a really a rewatch material and definitely not for faint hearted and closed mine!

Slow and Boring
Okay so this is another JDRAMA disappointment.I watched the trailer and thought okay so be could interfering but I was extremely disappointed by the 3rd episode i was really bored of it and skipped the last episode altogether so I just couldn't take it anymore.
The main actors seemed okay, accept i did find the second ML really depressing and often frustrating to watch.
The relationship between them was awkwardly enforced to say the least, it wasn't necessarily that these didnt have chemistry, the whole reason for liking the second lead was because he was lonely and had a guitar.
Overall : Given for me was not a good drama to watch, it just was slow and lacked potential with the characters and story line.
Any good JDRAMA recommendations welcomed!!

Adult only.....
Okay so I am really not a ran JDrama as I've not seen much about them, however this drama was 50/50 for me.It definitely had seem serious scenes in it and all of them were well carried out, almost like a soft porn 🤪🙈
With only 6 episodes at just over 22 minutes each, the story was filled with rich development that was brought to life by a phenomenal cast, the chemistry between the two male leads was excellent and the intimate scene where beautiful executed.
The music was good, a bit cheesyat times but it helped the movie story along.
Overall i enjoyed this drama both main actors are not only easy on the eyes but have great acting chops.

Sweet & Quick ... & Lacking ....
My review is a personal opinion on the drama.This drama started off really well, and strong, and on point, So What the HELL Happened?
The gave us characters that had more chemistry when they were "fake dating" than when they were truly dating. By giving us a couple that doesn't communicate and understands that there will be times when their relationship will be tested, but that they can overcome that. By dedicating more time on the development of the side stories (Mil's crush on Tine, the fights that had little to do with the couple, by giving us lack of real intimacy between a couple that is supposed to be "in love"... this for me was the sad part and worst part of the whole drama, the lack of intimacy between the ML's was just really sad, after the whole fake dating turned around, I was really hoping to see more of they "love" grow, but sadly that didn't happen at all, in fact they were more like friends who just hanged out, and possibly shared a bed together, Tine was so sure of his love for Wat, that every time Wat wanted to become intimate he ran off (face slap). I don't care for the kisses or the sex , but these two characters behave more like brothers than a couple. Depicting a couple in love doesn't mean having them do sexual things. It can be shown through different forms such as, both couples cooking together and talking about their day, doing something that creates a mood Comforting one another when one is feeling down, all we have is Sarawat just "patting" Tine on the head.
This drama felt liked it lacked so much potential. The only good thing about this I would say is that the music in the series was really nice, and Wat singing his song for Tine was the sweet part.
Overall: This drama started off at 10 but sadly lost its way!!!

Kinda cute & Sweet
The entire premise of this series was, badly excused, the whole friendship and using the friend to get with the girl and then a 360 on how he is madly in love with the friend, the friend be really adamant that he is into girls, goes on a fake date to try and discover how feels, Nah that's just plain, wrong, how do use a girl to figure out if you need to come out the closet, and making such a discovering after dating and being with countless women as he said, it felt like he had play with BL of the two work colleagues in order for him to see his true self.Li Cheng was way too pushy. He sexually harassed Mu Ren multiple times. He also tried to almost force his feelings upon him. It just didn't sit right with me. Li Cheng also really said, "It's not that I like guys. I just like him." Another thing was the focus on who was top and who was bottom. Get over yourself. It doesn't matter. You're not any less masculine because you're bottoming. Yong Jie planned to get Xing Si drunk, and then he raped him. His mom even knew about it. He also had the audacity to film it and show Xing Si's dad. I still have no idea what the purpose of that was.
There were just too many parts where I was questioning if that is correct, and if what they were doing was right, granted they all came together in the end, but the whole build up how they got there is questionable.
Toxic definitely

Worth the Watch
This drama has Rewatch all of it.The acting is superb, the comics were funny, the sport itself was good. The story is relatively predictable in the way that sports dramas are predictable.
Love the ML, he was cool and yet caring at the same time, there were no misunderstanding told it as is, the FL was well matched, and knew what she wanted. . Comedy wise, there are too many funny scenes in the drama. Too many puns, Fatty's reactions, ZGDX teammates reactions, Tong Yao and Lu Yue's immature bickering and Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao's bickering as well- I LOVE IT! Don't know much about the e-sports gaming, but the graphics were really good, and easy to understand.
The female lead is competitive, she has good gaming skills, not too optimistic and is supportive towards her enemies. She likes to give advice to her enemies when they're down or anyone else who also got the same problem as her. Overall the fl have good characteristics. The male lead is quiet, but he's the leader of the team and would always have their backs. He secretly took care of his teammates problem. He got very good gaming skills, unbeatable. He has a soft spot for the fl whenever a problem occur to her. He's straightforward and I like him for this.
They had cute chemistry between not only the ML & FL leads, but the second couple as well, and also the team involved all worked well, and did a terrific job they interacted well.
Definitely a series well worth the watch, very light and cute and funny!!
