The cast’s acting is impressive but the plot is such a shame

Not a good movie to be honest, but the acting from the cast is phenomenal, especially Park So Dam. Kang Dong Won is the reason I knew about this movie in the first place and he also nailed the role. His appearance makes my viewing experience more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the plot is a such waste of the actors’ talent. I find it boring and dragging, especially in the first half. The second half is better, but also mainly because of the cast’s acting. This is supposed to be a horror movie but the scary parts are too few and mild. 

Kim Yun-seok’s character is also very annoying with his rude behavior. He plays a Priest and keeps insulting his deacon, Kang Dong Won’s character. Do they really think that would make him a cool or funny guy? Because I don’t find that cool or funny at all. That’s bullying.

Not to mention that they sacrifice the piglet. Poor little creature! And that’s the deal breaker for me. 


5.5 out of 10 for the cast’s efforts.

A fun action drama, with good bromance and slight side romance

After years of watching Kdramas, the plot of this series is quite predictable. I can easily tell who is the real villain from the beginning, the plot twists aren’t very surprising, the villains aren’t evil and smart enough, and there are a few things that feel a little bit inconsistent to the characters’ personality. However, in general, it’s a good series. It has good action and comedy, and the slight side romance is fun and adorable. I enjoyed the interaction between the 2 brothers.

What makes this series good is the acting. It is perfectly casted. Everyone did great with their job in bringing the story to life. Yeo Hwa is the kind of female character that perfectly fits Honey Lee. Also, except for the villains, most of the characters are quite likable. There are a few supporting characters I like besides the leads: Bi Chan, Suho’s boss and his youngest daughter, Suho’s brother, Yeon Sun, the business lady, the little girl, the husband, and the business lady’s male employee.

The character that let me down the most throughout the series is the King. I think he’s quite a coward and just like Yeo Hwa said, he hasn’t tried to do anything for the poor suffering people but only waited for 15 years. He also doesn’t do anything to repay what Yeo Hwa and her deceased brother have done for the country.

And the years are also way too long. If it were reduced to 10 years or even below, I think it would make more sense and fit the characters’ personality more.

A heartwarming slice of life series - Hiroto and Michito are the best brothers ever!

A great slice of life series to start off the year of the snake. Happy New Year!

I really love the bonding between the two brothers and how their life has changed for the better after Lion comes to live with them. The ending is just perfect. I’m so happy for all of them, after all the hardships they’ve been through. Seeing how Hiroto and Michito move forward with their life for their own happiness and not for others anymore, I feel like a proud mom. :)

There are only a few I don’t like about this series:

+ They say lions being caged in the zoo is better for them than letting them live freely in the wild. I disagree with this idea, but it’s understandable as many people think that way. Maybe I’m the weird one to think that a free lion is happier than a caged one.

+ How the stepsister (Lion’s mother) and Lion treat Hiroto (the older brother):

I think the stepsister is very selfish to do what she does in the series, at least to her stepbrothers. Hiroto is too kind-hearted and think too much about other people, and sometimes it’s a little bit annoying to see him like that. I feel like the stepsister knows that and takes advantage of her stepbrother, who only lives with her for a few years in childhood, then one day she suddenly cut off with the whole family. I think she should be more grateful that Hiroto and Michito accept her as a family member after all the things she has done to them, not take it for the granted. I believe that not because someone is your blood-related family, you’re allowed to treat him however you want. I don’t agree with the idea of “family is family”.

On the other hand, in my opinion, Lion is very rude to Hiroto. He shouts at Hiroto when Hiroto tries to speak to him very gently. I understand that he’s a kid and that he’s physically abused by his father, but still his mother should tell him to behave more nicely to the people who treat him nicely. Again, this is due to his mom’s ungrateful mindset. She never tells her son to be good to his uncle, she just takes it for granted that his uncle should take a good care of her kid.

Full of cliché but I love it so much. It’s my guilty pleasure!

Full of cliché tropes and the plot is so cringe but I love it so much, mostly because of Satoh Takeru’s acting. I want to see more of him as Tendou-sensei! 😭 I love both his cold-hearted and soft side while being around the female lead, as well as his side as a dedicated doctor.

I also love the kind-hearted people in the hospital and their heartwarming stories.

I want to see more of Kisugi and Sakai’s romance too. I wish they had more scenes together, instead of the subplot between Tendou’s older sister and the young nurse guy. To be honest, I don’t really care about their story.

The top-notch acting and chemistry is what makes me love this drama, not the plot. As I have stated above, the plot is full of cliché and cringe moments, but it’s as expected from a series adapted from manga. I don’t think I would support this romance if it happens in real life. The female lead is an idiot and doesn’t have any self-respect for herself. She’s just following around a grumpy man all day expressing love for him. I don’t really like this idea. She should have her own value and love herself more, instead of trying to convince a man to love her. Not to mention there are other annoying things, for example, suddenly the dead ex’s twin sister appears and confesses to the male lead, or the ridiculous rich kid patient that falls for the female lead? 🤡

Anyway, I still love this drama very much and it’s my guilty pleasure!

A great Sci-fi Action Movie

First movie of 2025.

Overall it’s a great sci-fi action movie. I enjoyed it. I haven’t read the manga or watched the anime, but I heard that it’s quite a solid adaptation as well. The plot was great overall, and the acting was excellent.

There were a very few things I didn’t like about this movie. The first thing is the relationship between our superhero lead with his family. I’m not satisfied with how it progressed throughout the movie and how it ended as well.

The second thing is the relationship between our teenage villain and his loved ones, and the ending of them. Why did they have to kill everyone around him? I really pitied him and I think he didn’t think he had an ending he deserved. Of course what he did is wrong, no one can deny that. However, I think the real villain in this movie isn’t him, but the society. Those people around him, except for his loved ones but they were also too miserable, are the one who turned a kindhearted lost soul into a monster. I think the movie should point out that at least.

Love Ishihara Satomi and Chiba Yudai but couldn’t stand the plot

3.5 out of 10.

The ones who created the plot for this series, are they really mentally okay? Omg, I can’t stand the logic of this. It’s worse than just bad. The plot is really the pain in the a**, and most of the characters are annoying.

There are a lot more things I hate than a very few things I like about this series. Maybe I will write about them later. There are only 3 things that keep me bear with this series, and make me rate it 3.5 out of 10, and I’m being generous!

+ My favorite actress and actor Satomi Ishihara and Yudai Chiba. But I couldn’t stand their characters. I don’t understand why they choose to act in this series. Maybe because it’s a story with the Japanese traditional flower arrangement (Ikebana)?
+ Ikebana: I want to learn more about it, and it would be great if they focus more on it, instead of the mess they have created.
+ Pooh-san’s friends, those who usually hang out at Kayoko’s bar. I don’t enjoy Pooh-san character (not because of his look), but I like his friends.

Now, about what I dislike about this series, I would say pretty much most of it except for those little things I've listed above:

1. The story of a random boy who "cycles around Japan" with a "motivation" from Pooh-san and the female lead, and suddenly meets a guy with a terminal disease and wants to commit suicide, and they encourage each other? I was like, wtf? Like, how does this even relate to the main story? Plus, it's also an awkward side story and doesn't make any sense. Instead of this nonsense, it would be better if they focused more on the Ikebana part.

+ Related to the story above, it's the fat shaming from the female lead towards the boy and laughing at him, and everyone considers it a normal thing and a "motivation" for him to "cycle around Japan"? It's bullying! He's also bullied at school, but nobody in this series takes it seriously.
+ And the boy holds a grudge and shouts at everyone he meets almost the whole series, and suddenly in the end, he brightly smiles and gently speaks with everyone. Does puberty and bullying sound like a joke to the production team?
+ And all the "inspirational" messages Pooh-san sends to the boy, they all sound too cliché and dogmatic. I couldn't stand them.
+ Pooh-san let the boy use the female lead's bicycle without her permission. This really pisses me off. It's not about whether he returns it or not, but the fact that he let someone else borrow your customer's stuff without asking her first, and then explain it in a very dogmatic way, like "believe me, he will come back and return your bicycle". If someone did this to me, even if we knew each other before, let alone a stranger, or worse, a customer, I would end the relationship with them for sure, because they disrespected me. Oh, and also don't expect me to see that person in a romantic way later on.

2. All the things Pooh-san says throughout the series sound too cliché and dogmatic to me. I don't like the acting of the actor playing Pooh-san either. His facial expressions look too fake. And so do all the things his mother says. They don't look and sound natural. Sounds like they are professors who are giving lectures, not speaking in a normal way.

3. What kind of mother sleeps with a guy and tells him to date and marry her own daughter. Disgusting! And after the affair is exposed, the mother doesn't even give a sh*t because of the crap "We're mother and daughter. She can't end our relationship."

4. Having an affair is considered quite a normal thing? A lot of people cheat in this series. A guy that never cheats is already the best guy? Please, raise your standards, both men and women.

5. About the female lead's sister and their sibling relationship, it doesn't make much sense. I guess the screenwriter wants to add some dramatic elements into the plot to make it more interesting? Like rich kids never get a normal loving sibling relationship? Well, it's not interesting at all. The two have been having a loving and supportive relationship since childhood, and out of nowhere a random guy appears, and the little sister turns evil? What an old and cliché trope!

+ The relationship between the little sister and the guy seems too awkward to me, too. She doesn't even pay attention to him at first, and then only one question "Do you believe in destiny?", she suddenly falls in love with him so deeply that she decides to turn against her beloved sister? What kind of crap is that?
+ Also, the guy's been doing bad things to take revenge for a long time and suddenly changes after a short time tricking the little sister because she is too kind and innocent? A kid would think of a better scenario.

6. The pairing between the leads feel too forced for me. I don't feel any chemistry, and their progress doesn't feel natural. Them being a couple seem too forced and fake for me, not because of their looks. but I don't really understand why they fall for each other. The female lead is a red flag, and Pooh-san is too cliché, dogmatic, and fake.

7. The President/so-called father of the female lead is the true weak and pathetic man, to both his wives, and daughters. And in the end, everyone just accepts that he loves both daughters and wives in his own ways, and ignores all of his pathetic behaviors? I refuse to understand his sick logic of being an artist, because it's too pathetic. He's just an insecure coward who can't stand the women who outshine him.

+ Sets up to ruin his daughter's marriage by breaking her heart so that she can't leave the house? Pathetic. No excuse about a father's love or being an artist can make up for this.
+ Makes the two loving daughters hate and fight against each other.
+ Plans to kick out his talented first daughter, the one that his late wife's daughter had with another man and that he's raised as "his own daughter", and uses her as a tool to make his biological daughter look more outstanding and win the competition to become the next president. Firest, he ruins her marriage to keep her in the house and lies to her about her late mother's death wish and tells her to be the next president. Then he intentionally makes her lose the competition and let his biological daughter be the next president. And all of sudden, he again asks the first daughter to become the next president instead when his biological daughter refuses to become one. At this point, the series implies that he actually loves his late wife and first daughter, and how loving he is as a "father". What kind of nonsense is this?
+ Plans to make his biological daughter witness her mother and boyfriend have sex together, which he set all up, only to make her experience betrayal and hatred, to create the darkness in her heart so that she can become a talented artist to compete with her sister? And his reason is that she is his biological daughter so he wants to help her become the next president, and that he can't let her lose the driver's daughter (the female lead, his late wife's daughter with another man). That's his sick definition of a father's love? Disgusting!
+ Gets a guy to trick his wife into having an affair with the guy for his own selfish purpose, and then in the end reveals that actually he loves his wife? Make it make sense!
+ Ignores his wives (both the late wife and the current one) because of his toxic excuse that an artist doesn't need love and that love destroys the artist's talent. This makes both wives feel lonely and end up having affairs.
+ The thing that explains most clearly about his pathetic behaviors is the sentence he said to his current wife at the end, something like "My late wife's outstanding talent pushed her away from me, but you're different because you have no talent in flowers or being an artist." What a pathetic excuse of an insecure coward who can't stand being with a woman that outshines him. Like, "I love you because you don't make me insecure about my talent, and I don't have to destroy your talent because I feel insecure like how I did to my late wife."

8. The way the female lead suddenly calls the driver "father" at the end also feels too forced and fake.

To sum up, I can't stand any character in this series, only a few supporting characters, and I love some actors and actresses, and the flowers are beautiful. That makes my 3.5 out of 10 for this series.

I’m quite generous when rating a film, but I also pay attention to very little details and sometimes can end up disliking the whole series for those little details. For this series, it’s the opposite case, I dislike the whole series, but there are a very little things that I like.

A beautiful series - Very relatable

Finally able to watch the whole series after 3 years, and I think this is the perfect time for me.

This is a really beautiful series. Macbeth is really the best thing to ever exist. It's a beautiful journey, and definitely meaningful. And every beautiful journey has to come to an end. It’s sad but it is how life is.

The story feels so real and complete, and the cast is perfectly casted. All of them nailed their roles. There is no big plot twist or no villain in this slice of life series. I really love that. I also love that they don’t romanticize the relationship between the waitress (Rihoko) and the screenwriter of the comedy trio (Haruto) at the end. This series really feels like a big hug to me. It warms my heart and gives me more strength to keep up with this life.

I relate so much with the story and see myself in every character’s story, as someone who also in their late 20s and struggling with life, failures, career crisis, isolation, mental illness and more. Personally there were times I also locked myself up in the room and isolated myself from the outside world, just like Rihoko and Haruto's older brother in this series. It feels like a wasteful time to other people, but it is a necessary period for me to reflect on myself and dig deeper into my soul. My whole life might also feel like a failure to other people, but to me everything I have done is meaningful, and it happens for a reason, and it makes me who I am today. Now I also need the courage to give up on something and figure out what I'm going to do next with my life. I am very grateful to my family, friends and the ones who I have met and have stayed by my side and helped me through the darkest times of my life.

Whoever is reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day. You are trying your best and that's enough. You are living in the best moment of your life.

Not really what I expected

It was supposedly a cute movie about love and marriage but I can't stand the message.

So the male lead's almost-an-affair is nothing to be revealed? And it's considered as a normal behavior? I thought it would cause a scene between the main couple.

This man is such a jerk to me, for being over-jealous towards for no clear reason, just him being so childish and possessive, and for taking her as a bad inspiration to write poems, for ignoring her, and worst, for letting his jerks aka so-called friends embarass her and not protecting her.

I really don't think the ending is a happy ending for the female lead. She deserves so much better.

A lighthearted series with top-notch chemistry and cinematography

"When do people love the other 100%? It is not when I love you more than I love myself, but only when I truly like myself and believe in myself, that I can love you wholehearted and truly."

"Follow the wind. In this world, there are many things that we cannot control. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Strive hard when it's time to fight for something. As for the outcome, we can only make a wish to the wind. If we make a wish to the wind, the bamboo dragonfly might fly back to us. Although many things are beyond our control, if we leave a bit to heaven, it might bring us a little surprise."

"It lies in his nature. As long as he knows where he's from and who he is, he can unify his heart and mind and eventually achieve success. That's the universal law."

I relate to these messages so much. That's why I give this series a 10 out of 10 out of enjoyment and satisfaction, although some parts are quite predictable and the ending isn't what I expected. It felt a little bit rushed. I will be so happy if they make a season 2 or a special episode. I would like to see the leads' love story in real life, as well as the happy ending for all the characters in the novel.

This is a lighthearted series with beautiful heartfelt messages, not just about romantic love, but also about human bonding and relationships as well. The best thing about romance in this series is that there is no love triangle, but there are two separate couples instead. I love both the leads' and the second leads' love stories and they all have top-notch chemistry. There are not many physical intimacy scenes between the leads but I can feel their chemistry through the screen every single time!

In my opinion, the main theme of this series is about found family and human bonding, self-love and self-discovery. We have five people that aren't related by blood but they stay together under the same roof, and consider themselves as a part of a family. The two couples are not just each other's lovers, but also each other's best friend, and soulmate .Together, their love and trust towards each other grow bigger and bigger day by day. "The Four Heroes of the Bamboo Forest" is the best found family in a Chinese drama that I've watched recently. They are an unbreakable team! And the little bamboo demon Cui Cui is freaking adorable!

Other great things of this series are its beautiful cinematography, visual effects, costumes and soundtrack music. Although it's a fantasy world, it doesn't feel fake at all. Every song touches my soul every time I listen to them throughout the series. They fit perfectly with the scenes they appear in. The characters' costumes are bright and colorful, and suit each other's personality.

An important medical drama

Fast-paced, straightforward, intense, and full of comedy and action. It also has some emotional moments and the ending is perfect. The important major message is well-conveyed throughout the series. I hope that the series can help to change the world’s medical system for the better.

There are some parts which I find illogical and unrealistic but it’s fine. I think it’s the director’s intention. The main lead is built with the image of a superhero doctor with a great passion for saving his patients no matter what and with the best surgical skills, so it’s understandable that a few things about him are exaggerated. The only thing that annoys me a little bit is that they don’t wear helmets when riding a motorbike. And it doesn’t happen once. Call me a nitpicker, but as someone who rides motorbike every day, I would say it’s actually very dangerous to do that, not as cool as it looks.

This is the best live-action musical series I have watched so far!

I always have a soft spot for musical films, especially films with classical music. I love classical music, and love the piano the most. So "Nodame Cantabile" is a perfect series for me. It makes me fall in love with classical music one more time and also gave me the motivation to start practicing the piano again. As a piano learner, I'm kind of like Nodame who does not read the music sheet very well. Of course I'm not as talented as Nodame. My level is quite basic. I just learnt it to play for fun, but paused for a long time because I don't have a piano with me, and the teacher forced me too much that made me stressed. So this time I'll buy a small piano and try to practice on my own while maybe looking for a more suitable piano teacher.

Anyway, "Nodame Cantabile" is so special and precious to me. I love every music performance throughout the series. I can feel the love for music in every character in the series. I love most of the characters, except the foreign Maestro character. He's just a perverted old man to me. The way he treats women is horrible, and I don't like his fake foreign look and accent either. I felt annoyed every time he appeared. However, as this is an old Japanese drama and as I love everything else and the music just touched my soul every single time, "Nodame Cantabile" is still a 100/10 series for me. I will re-watch it from time to time.

Besides music, this series is also special because of other reasons. I love our girl Nodame so much and also love her beloved senpai Chiaki. Nodame is so adorable, innocent but definitely not a stupid girl. She's a talented piano genius in disguise because of childhood traumas. Chiaki is also a genius with childhood traumas. I enjoyed watching Nodame and Chiaki's character development through each episode, and I loved the way they helped and supported each other in overcoming their own fears to find their real selves and discover their talents. Their romance is so pure, beautiful, and supportive, and it starts out of the love for music. I specially love the scene in the last episode where Nodame was talking about her dream of performing on the same stage with her senpai as a golden pair with full of excitement. Nodame is just too sweet and adorable! No wonder Chiaki hugs her from the back!

Also, they are so hilarious together. I enjoyed watching Chiaki's reactions and his facial expressions every time he's with Nodame lol. I laughed so much while watching them together. Of course I don't take the violence seriously. I understand that's the slapstick comedy style, as this series is adapted from a comedy manga.

Besides the leads, other characters are also very loveable. My other favorite characters are Mine and Kiyora. I love them as an individual character and love them as a couple as well. Their romance is also pure, beautiful and supportive and starts out of the love for music. Not only a wild and sensitive artist, Mine is also the best boyfriend and also the best buddy! While Kiyora is a strong ambitious and brave woman who dares to dream big and work hard to chase after her dream. She’s also a kind and supportive friend. It’s always nice to see this type of female character in a Japanese series.

Another thing that makes "Nodame Cantabile" so special to me is that there is no drama, no villain, no toxic love triangle, and no misunderstanding throughout the series. I just feel the absolute love for music from every character, as well as their desire and dreams, and their struggles while chasing their dreams. I can see myself in every character's struggle, and they also encourage me to face my fears to find my real self and follow my dreams. As how much Chiaki is grateful to his orchestra at the end of the series, I'm also grateful to "Nodame Cantabile" in the same way. I also feel like it's time to end a part of my life, and feel like it's the start of something new. I will move forward to a new journey and discover myself more in that journey. Although there are still fears, but I will stop doubting myself and start to believe in myself more. :)

There are still many more things to talk about this series but I'll stop now. I'm not sure if anyone will ever read this review but I wrote it to myself as the main purpose. Maybe it's a bit lengthy and boring to others. :)

A non-toxic mature series for adults - Yoo Eun Ho is the greenest forest ever!

I love mature romance stories, with healthy relationships where nice people fall in love and treat each other right. This series is like that. Plus, I've watched Lee Joon Hyuk since her debut projects and it's really rare to see him be a male lead in a romance, and he's paired with Han Ji Min! Both are my beloved actors, so why can I miss out on this series?

"Love Scout" is a lighthearted slow-burn mature romance Kdrama where both the leads equally love and respect each other. I'm satisfied with it. The leads have great chemistry, while both second leads are very nice, and them ending up together is the best part. There's no toxic love triangle, no toxic ex coming back and meddling between the leads. And the ending is just perfect. I would feel awkward if they got married right away at the end but luckily it didn't happen, because it's not realistic in their situation.

Most of the characters are likeable. The leads are surrounded by kind-hearted and supportive people, except for the female lead’s business rivals who go shady against her. That is understandable, as our female lead Ji Yoon is a CEO. Being a businesswoman means you have a lot of rivals and have to go through hardships.

This is also a realistic office-themed and slice of life series with great messages about self-value, self-discovery, and what to prioritize in life. There is great career advice as well. I relate so much to the characters that want to quit and change jobs but they're still stuck in the same position because of the money and other things, or they don't know what is suitable for them. I wish Ji Yoon's company really existed so that I could register as their candidate.

Besides being a supportive partner to Ji Yoon, our male lead Eun Ho is also a role model as a loving and caring single father. His daughter is his first priority and he always tries to be with her when she needs him. It’s rare to see a single father like him in Kdramas. It's usual to see single mothers like this. That's another thing I love about the show. I hope it will help to break the stereotypes and help people realize that men can be a caring father too.

I love how Eun Ho talked about parenthood and said how his daughter had 'raised' him so that he could become a great person like he was at the moment. I also love what Ji Yoon told Byeol that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to love, that having both parents doesn't mean that you receive double love from them, but one parent loving you wholeheartedly is enough. I agree with this to the bone. This is actually quite a new concept in recent Asian series too, since a lot of Asian people still consider divorce as some kind of a crime and think that being a single parent is not good for the kids.

I also love the relationship between Eun Ho and the second female lead. I find it very interesting. Both are single parents and they are 'parenting friends' who help each other take care of the kids when the other is busy with other schedules. This is a new type of relationship recently and I think it's a beautiful platonic relationship in this modern society.

Another light of the show is the two little kids. They are just so adorable. Byeol is such a cutie pie! I love watching her father-daughter relationship with Eun Ho, and especially love her interactions with Ji Yoon as well.

There are only 2 little things I didn't like much about this series, but it didn't really affect my viewing experience in general:

+ First, why don't they just let the leads meet each other in a natural way when they are adults? Why do they have to add a traumatizing childhood past to make them be more like "destined to be together"? When I watched the episode that showed Ji Yoon's father had died in a fire accident, I really whispered to myself: "Please don't let the leads be related to each other through that accident". And what I had feared came true! The moment Eun Ho freaked out when hearing the sound of a fire truck, I knew right away that Ji Yoon's father had died while saving him. What happened next was quite predictable to me. After years of watching Kdramas, I'm too used to this situation. Luckily it didn't stir up any drama between the leads, and instead it gave them some space to reflect on themselves and their relationship. That's a great thing.

+ Second, why don't they just let the second female lead be a real single mother, instead of an aunt adopting her nephew as her own son? This situation is also quite familiar in Kdrama plots. I found it not very creative but it's not a big deal either. Anyway, as I've mentioned above, our second female lead is a nice person and kind at heart. I'm happy that she finally meets another great person who cherishes her. Although it was obvious that they would end up together from the beginning, it still felt nice to see their love growing through each episode. Besides the leads, their romance story is also slow-burn and mature.

Everything in this show is mature. I love it so much!

A heartwarming medical and slice of life series

Such a beautiful story. I’m speechless!

It’s not just a medical series but a heartwarming picture of life and humanity. The romance feels so unique, natural and beautiful. The character development is great and the acting is really impressive! I love most of the characters in this series. And the ending is just amazing. It gives me a sense of fulfillment. But I wish it could last longer and show a little more scenes of Sanpei and Miyabi together. It ends way too soon!

There are only 3 things I don’t like much throughout the series:

+ They let a long-term brain patient (the female lead) drink beer like every day, and no one warns her about it. Alcohol is harmful to the brain, and the female lead has a serious brain disease, had brain surgery before and has to take medicine every day! This doesn’t make much sense to me. Maybe because they want to add some commercials for the beer product?

+ The hospital is such a big one but doesn’t seem to have many patients, as the doctors and nurses are quite chill and hang out at a familiar restaurant, drink beer and chitchat all the time. All the main doctors and nurses are there at the same time! Lol. And sometimes they all gather at one place in the hospital as well. I think it’s not very logical in a medical workplace. I do understand they want to show the great bonding the female lead has with the colleagues and how kind and helpful they are towards her. It just happens way too much. If the workplace weren’t a hospital, it would make more sense. :)

+ The creepy hospital chairman and his way of eating really pisses me off. It’s so painful for me to watch him eat, and he eats in almost every scene he appears. 😭

A litter bit disappointing, but the couple is still adorable

The only good thing I want to see is the interaction between Buchou and Hotaru as a lovey-dovey newly married couple, and I believe other viewers watch the movie because of that too.

However, the movie’s main focus is around some kind of a stranger woman that I don’t even bother to remember her name, and couldn’t care less about her story. She and also all other characters are annoying, and she is the worst, and the plot is weird and stupid. The movie is supposed to be their honeymoon trip, but then it’s ruined for someone not important and not relevant at all. It would be okay for me if they put the woman's story as a very side plot, not playin a big role in the plot like how it is. It just doesn't make sense.

I still give it 6 out of 10 just because of the moments between Hotaru and Buchou. They are still sweet, adorable and funny as before. It's finally a happy ending for their love story, although I expect to learn more after that. I want to see their baby!!

Great chemistry but a few things feel unrealistic

In general, it's a great love story. The chemistry of the main couple is no joke. I can feel love all in the air when the two are together. And the boy is just so adorable. ^^

However, there are a few things that feel unrealistic in this series. For examples:

1. The female lead seems too talented and confident to exist. How can she just attend a company as an ordinary employee and get promoted so fast to a manager within only 2 years, when she's a single mom and her son even has a heart disease? It means she would have to worry about him, take care of him and stay at the hospital all day every now and then. Of course she can ask her neighbor doctor to take care of him but that's the thing that feels not real. Doctors are busy all day and have no fixed fee time, and as a mom, she would worry a lot about his son when she's sick. Heart disease is definitely not a joke.

2. The serious heart disease doesn't feel so serious. The male lead can drink some beer, run around all day with the female lead, while running is tiring even for a normal person.

3. The kids at the kindergarten were so mean to the son of the couple and his teachers did nothing to protect him. When he had a big heart surgery, instead of cheering him up, the kids called him a monster and bullied him, while the teachers just ignored it, and the female lead also did nothing to protect his son. As a mother, the female lead also didn't protect him in some other cases. It doesn’t feel right to me.

Also, the supporting couples feel a bit forced, and I don't feel any chemistry between their characters. One couple is just about physical intimacy, and the other has a better story (the doctor and the ballerina) and quite entertaining, but it still feels a bit forced.

Besides, about the brother of the dead mutual friend of the main couple, he's not a kid anymore, yet immediately wrongly blamed the female lead for his sister's death just by listening to the passengers of the bus who were all traumatized in the accident? And he blamed a passenger instead of the bus driver? Normally people usually blame the bus driver first before everyone else in similar cases.

There are a few more things that are on my nerves but I'll stop it here. As I enjoy watching the main couple together and the boy is adorable, I still like this series. :)
