Irritating antagonists will keep you tuning in
This is the first 100+ series I've seen and since I lost a lot of sleep over it, it's good enough to share with you so that you might want to invest your time if looking for a good long one.It's a roller coaster of an emotional series because the antagonists are super bad that you want to tune in just to see what their demise will be. Lol!
The storylines: *fraud and deception! The antagonists are very good, fooling everyone around them.
*late love: they thought they didn't need anyone, until they met in an unconventional way
*wanted and unwanted siblings: two loved, one denied
It's very engaging from the beginning on all the way to the end. It is meaningfully weaved so that you get a well organized story where every plotlines are covered til the end. One thing that you might ask yourself after watching this: Is it really possible for a human being to not have any love at all? I will leave it like that so you can find out. I also love that there is an elder in this drama who is like the pot of gold at the end of the storm. Throughout the series, he was wise, loving, and very patient so that even if everything is going crazy, he could be relied on to calm the storm. I loved Park Geum Hyung in this series as the grandfather. You hate his character in some dramas but in this one, I absolutely loved him.
On top of the central storylines, you will see talents of the cast. You will see their singing skills. In fact, you will be accustomed with the entire casts and their roles. There is definitely love here too. It is not perfect when you feel sometimes that dialogue in meaning seems repetitive but, it is well weaved together. Ending is very satisfying.

The storyline was good but there were a lot of gaps. Too much twists, especially where the exes are concerned makes it more of irritation than adding to the intrigue of story.
The devotion of doctor was very sad...not because he was a g eat friend but because he deserved a love as well.
I was enmeshed. Wallace Chung is a very good actor and he played his role very well. Actually the entire cast were very convincingly good or evil. Bravo to them. This was very enjoyable and if you’re like me who likes strong leads and romance, you would enjoy this. Try it.

BULL’s EYE
Writing this after episode six and the intense meeting of the sperm.Totally love love loving this drama so based on my very own viewing entertainment, it’s a perfect ten. Rather than the other ongoing drama series that are recycling plot lines (also enjoying), this is refreshing to me. Mind you I was terrible in science and all the experts are probably jumping on concepts in this drama because I don’t know it’s accuracy. BUT, I find it intriguing and interesting. It’s a sci-fi after all but very thought provoking. Can you imagine if this can be done? Oh my gosh, it would be absolutely cool.
Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin are perfect for the roles simply for the very reason everyone thinks they aren’t. Totally different from their other roles, it’s probably the appeal to their taking it. I see nothing less of their acting abilities except to shine even more. It’s great seeing Jin again after missing due to personal growth and to me, she’s still that natural great actress made for camera entertainment. Min Ho after so much growth also is natural and this role is cute for him, Dr OBGYN. Love it! Combining a hint of romance, science intrigues, crew bonding, personal relationships, medical decisions, and more makes this drama. It’s short so i don’t know how it’ll all be wrapped but it’s a great flow and very interesting to me.
Everyone in this work deserves praise. The crew on the ship might have their own agenda (raffle ticket) but I predict where they’re going with it. Minor distraction but the bonding of people working together in a small space is good. The space team at the station have their added intrigue. The rich and their own agenda that of course is unscrupulous as very common trope also adds to the build up. In all, I find this very entertaining made solid after episode six and while it’s sad many are not connecting with it, I for one is loving it so I feel it’s made just for me. (wink, wink). Yep, they hit a bulls eye (to me at least) with this production. Give them a try.

Blame writers/producers
I’m looking at the pictures of the cast and feel bad. However, nothing can make me go easy on this drama.People who watch Thai dramas will by now understand the flow. Common themes are excruciatingly extreme they become almost gothic sinister. You will just have to watch for yourself to understand. For this one though, I just feel like I need to speak out to warn. The actions of these characters makes you wonder of the sanity of the writers and producers. From parents, to siblings, it’s as though it’s a whole different level of human beings in a extraterrestrial society. They certainly belong in one because if these are the way people and society is in Thailand, maybe something needs to be done to cut them off from the rest of the world. Lol. Okay that might be very extreme but seriously, these people are total garbage.
There are so many plot holes even if you try to fill them you will continue to sink. One son is shown to hire hitmen to kill off siblings girlfriend and son. So many attempts are made and cops never show up. No one is ever interested to catch them, just fighting them off and let em scram. 🙄 Gosh this made me so mad. Yeah, totally lawless.
The abuse endured by female lead was unbearable. Of course she’s written as the heroic knee bender, the slap me, it’s my fault, common favorite female write ups. All the other characters schemed, plotted, slap n slap n slap some more n slap this poor woman because no fault of her own, two brothers liked her. Unrealistic and outright ridiculous that this was thought out.
Later episodes became a revolving same thing of misunderstandings that it just became a case of tears, and more tears of same nothing really.
Actresses played and displayed perfect facials for their characters…nasty, hateful, cunning. I do give this to these actresses especially in Thai dramas that they can play those roles really really really well. Ughh on the character.
I’m not gonna finish it. It’s sad I actually stayed that long (14 eps) but from where I leave off, I can guess they will be together at end. To endure all that. Endurance has its limits and mine gave up. I feel bad for actors but if these are as good as scripts they can find, alas, talents are wasted.
You be the judge. You might see it wholly different. If any description though above turns you off, it’s really bad..

Sister Strong
This is a great story. It is well translated, well written just as I’d hope for in a series. Familiar plot line of sisters where one becomes selfish and uses other ones kindness to advantage. However, no matter what, when it comes down to it, the bond of sisterhood remains true so forgiveness wins. Cast are really good. Love the character of HAWICK. Some say he had a weak role. I didn’t. He was great. He portrayed a very lovable man towards his woman while carrying a silent revenge from childhood hurt. Each character were well developed, the main leads remained strong and caring throughout. Yes female lead was too nice but she was feisty mad when realized she was betrayed.Things wrapped well, and every single character’s issue was resolved. Yes, very well written slice of life family drama I’m sure you’ll appreciate.

Unforgettable
The story wasn’t focused too much on the romance as stated in description. A young man, (JiSung) and a group of others share a great bond due to growing up in an orphanage in Jeju. They’ll divide due to opportunities to get ahead in life, however the bond is solid when needed. There’s a secret to his birth that will play out, and that’s the part that’s interesting.There’s much to take away, things to ponder on, relatable actions that feeds on our emotions. It’s a great story. From beginning to end, it’s worth the watch.
If I ever find the time, I’d love to read the novel.

A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College

I like this a lot for Joseph Chang, the lead male. He’s cool, fearless, loving, hard worker, family oriented, and yes, very handsome. Two people with each personal agenda comes together never thinking of something greater than own inevitable ever lasting. It’s simple but the story weaves beautifully like how a good movie should…a thoughtful plot, plot lines, good acting, satisfying solution, lingering emotions at end, happy after. It’s enjoyable and it’s only because there’s so much to see I said I may not rewatch but if I need a feel good story at some point, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. I rate high for enjoyment.

Why? After the first episodes, I was really glued. Then, it became dragging. The male lead was thoughtful but his character is one who’s an introvert and in state of being in trance. Yes, he’s handsome but I would rather him be outspoken, demanding. Female lead was about the same, though very strong at beginning, started to weaken out, and in trance state at many times. Some episodes I felt were total useless and story could of wrapped in way less episodes.
Cinematography as all historical Chinese dramas is beautiful. I was irritated the female lead was in same dress for most of movie, even after rain, many years..lol.
It was good but definitely not memorable for me.

It can only get better…
Not done but it can’t get worse as the best and cutest is already progressing. If you’ve watched S1, you’d probably be on the fence of quirky dorky or quirky fluffy. I mean the FL and her silliness? You love her or wanna shake some earthly sense into her. At the end though, all’s forgotten as the cuteness of the lead couple, Xiaoqi and Feng Leng is overpowering. Here in S1, I feel that Wen Peng has polished her acting and is doing a great job. I’m not so irritated like in S1 with her. This time around, she has revised her role to a maturity level that while continuing with the loads of tropes, she acts it marvelously. She has even turned up her comfort level in her relationship development with ML. If we hadn’t known it not to be true, you can almost match them up as a real couple. Yes, that’s how sizzling their relationship is.You might be frustrated with plot as it’s like a repeat of s1. I may have started out like that, but I’m finding that it’s okay. The deliverance of roles makes it seem like a much better version of S1 and I’m enjoying it so much I don’t mind it. This is a very fun, relaxing, sweet, memorable series if anyone is looking for something away from serious ones.
Oops, I was about to sign off but the supporting casts are just as cute. Yes, besides leads there’s two other couples that are so cute and fun too.
