Heroine is furious and wants to divorce her sexy, smitten and possessive husband whom she BY THE WAY CALLS DEADBEAT HUSBAND in front of her in-laws. Is he deadbeat?! Initially, he has no idea what is going on and what happened. But as a viewer you get to know the human beneath his desperation and passion. The actor portrayed him so well, the way he freely released the beast inside of him and literally becomes Yandere in front of my eyes is NOTHING BUT PURE AWESOMERY!

***Fate is never working against your wishes in this Rainkissed Romance***
DaiGao portrays a hardcore vicous boxer YuChen with a heart of gold-whose reputation took a total splatter over a cheating scandal- and he gets even more embittered when the beautiful woman he had a one-night stand with six years ago has returned to demand a Marriage contract with him. Unknown to him, their passionate night resulted in twins and Bu Yan who is portrayed by ChenFang needs another child from him to save their son. Its a insane summary, but it works so well to the rainy comfy tone and the delicious chemistry between DaiGao & ChenFang.Was this review helpful to you?
Burning Chemistry between Step-Siblings..
the classic Badboy/Good girl trope, forbidden love between step-siblings. I love that they are in University which gave the story more of a F4 Vibe to it since they are youth and it is depicted very well into the story. It delves into the insecurities of growing up, not really knowing who you want to be. ML is brash, cold, ruthless, hot-tempered and secretly in love with his beautiful innocent step-sister who always tends to his wounds and who refuses to back away whenever he tries to chase her away. FL always watches and longs for her step-brother`s affection and friendship, not understanding why he is so cold and mean to her and the way he is careless with his own life.They are of course drawn to each other, ML does not have it in his heart anymore to chase her away, how can he, when she always was the sole owner of his heart. The actor by the way is so handsome he made my heart beat faster, i am tellin youuu! My first time watching him on-screen, wow the charisma he has! Raw and deep and gorgeous!!Their bond...the absolute honesty they conveyed for each other, they had eyes for no other but each other and everyone around them realized that but them. Ah, The Wonder of First True Love. Isn`t it Magical!!!

Lost in The Midnight really delivers with a very sexy and devoted ML!
I am having a huge binge of these MINI-DRAMAS lately! Just aghhhh totally feeds my romantic soul! "Lost in the Midnight" is my first drama with the mainleads and i got so deliciously surprised by their chemistry and acting talent, especially the actor portraying Male Lead, our very dark and tortured mob gangster Luo Xiao who is despised and feared by everyone. I mean, all his brothers and grandfather hates him. Everyone have tormented and abused him, no wonder he held no love for his family at all. The actor just stole the overall show for me, his expressions and the rage and pain in his eyes was incrediby portrayed. What he did for the female lead to be by his side, ahhhh i love a smitten possessive hero!!Was this review helpful to you?
"I think dying by your hands would be better than losing you and dying of heartache" - Ah Da Mo
I smiled, laughed,swooned,screamed and cried while watching "New Tales of Gisaeng". Wow, what a journey this has been. What a absolutely marvelous story of fate, family, sisterhood, pain, trauma and the teachings of life this brought to every character. But most of all, the central and epic love-story of our main-leads, they are star-crossed lovers Ah Da Mo & Dan Sa Ran portrayed by Soo-Hyang and Sung-Hoon. These two on-screen created fireworks, just gosh what a beautiful pair they are! It was long time coming for me to watch "New Tales of Gisaeng" since it has been recommended to me for some time now but i never came around to actually watching past 20 min of first ep in the past. I think the time was not right for me, i gave it another shot last week and decided that i firmly would finish 3 episodes and when i did i was stuck. I knew this was a drama i had to and would finish watching. It is a wonderful story that depicts the magic of fate and how it entangles characters in their lives. This drama has characters that makes you root for them and i grew so fond of everyone, even the elders. Then we have the romance that feeded my romantic heart, ah what a magical and electrfying chemistry our main-leads have!! The dialuge, the glances and the touches between them, just stop it!!!KYAAAA!!!Sa Ran is unlike many of the heroines i have seen in other dramas. She is cold in the sense that you would outwardly think she is arrogant, but she uses it as a mechanism to not open herself up to anyone. She does not speak of whats in her heart and mind, and the awful loneliness that consumes her. She has this firm dignity and great love for dancing. She is beautiful and has such a beauty in her heart.No wonder our leading hero Ah Da Mo fell madly in love with her! Ah, i love the way they hated to love each other. Hardcore hate-love story this one, and i loved every damn bit of it!!
Ah Da Mo has such a compelling character developement throughout the drama. He is very arrogant, bitter and cynical at the start. He lives his life with the following flow, knowing his place and situation in following his fathers footsteps as an heir to their family company and knows what is expected of him. He is not a rebel, but he is angry at his father for neglecting him emotionally throughout his child-hood, and that he even regards the dog Andre more of a son than Da Mo is, which is a humiliation to Da Mo`s ego. He slowly changes when he gets to know the dancer his grandmother invites to his house, the beautiful Sa Ran who is incredibly attracted to at first sight. But due to a awful misunderstanding caused by Da Mo`s cynical views she insults and hurt his pride, which makes him in return pursue her for his selfish reasons in making her fall for him so hard she would throw herself at him. (sigh, these arrogant male heroes always dig their own graves) but he senses how incredibly he is softening towards her and gets frightened out of his wits when he suspects that he is growing feelings for her. And that my friends was his gravest mistake. He run away from his own heart and bitterly regretted the awful consequences because of it. Thank god he comes to his senses and does everything there on to make her forgive him...i love how he declared that he lost to her. That he would rather she kill him with her own hands, than him dying of heartache living apart from her.
I also need to mention how fond i became of second female lead Ra Ra who also was given such a wonderful developement in character from a spoiled and entitled princess into a strong, loving and caring young woman who tackled the harsh surprises life gave her. The actress protraying her Hye-rin gave such depth to her performance that you could not help but root for her happiness as well. I love that she found true love in her new friend and protecter, Kyle that teached english at the Gisaeng House. They are absolutely wonderful together, love the deep sense of trust and friendship and admiration both have for each other.

This part was colorful and fun and i sensed how strong the chemistry was between Mint and Mark since they also were strong koo-jins during their early lakhorns together until he became koojin with Kimberly in his later lakhorns.But Mint`s acting in this lakhorns was quite painful to watch since she really struggled to act natural in the character of Cha-aim.I also find this part memorable because of Din`s allergy to gay people,i mean he literally fainted everytime a guy flirted with him,LOL!

Split Personalities, Second Chance romance, Crushed Dreams and Realized Ones.
"Sugar & Lies" starring the very beloved mainleads Ke Chun & Yu Yin. They stole my heart in the Vertical "Save Myself" last year in 2025 so i eagerly awaited their next project and it came in the form of a Mini drama this time. What a pleasent surprise!It starts with what you would assume is a angsty second chance love-story. But "Sugar & Lies" gives you so much more than that. It went far beyond my comprehension of what a trainwreck this complex story was gonna be. With very complex but extremely caring and loving characters. You would think the whole lot is shady and weird from the start. But then so many things start to make sense. Ke Chun`s character embodies the double personalities of Chen Aming and Yu Kin so well. Chen Aming is the broken lost boy who was afraid of the world and the pressures of poverty. Causing him to leave his heroine Ding Dang. To cope with his trauma he creates a techno App called "Keep Love" that is going to manufacture relationships and romances. He decides to erase his past pain involving Ding Dang, but the experiment backfires when another darker personality gets created by his pain- that is the more cold-blooded and manipulative YuKin.
Telling more of the story will only give more spoilers to how extremely hectic everything is and how truly shocking the climax is. It may not be everyone`s cup of tea because you are so confused the first 10 episodes. Having no idea what is going on but knowing that STUFF IS SHADY AS HECK. Nothing is as it seems, nothing! Ke Chun & YuYin and the rest of the cast did a splendid job.I mean, wow the chemistry and the intimacy between them. How they could make you laugh and smile with their hilarious flirty antics! The dark bittersweet angst. How neither could let the other go. We also have three constant set locations in the story , Ding Dang`s cafe "Suga Love", Chen Aming`s working app "Keep Love" and the bar where everyone usually gather "Utopia".

Whole crazy trainwreck!
But it was entertaining nontheless. FL disguises her as a maid in quest for revenge. Along the way seducing her married employer. It was crazy the way she seduced and manipulated him. The way he fell for her every trick. He could not resist her.The actor portraying ML is a great performer, he does expressions very well and he is after all very handsome. I like that this is not the conventional romance we usually see in Verticals but it is a revenge plot where FL pulls it through the way she planned. ML´s wife is a maniac and a piece of shit, I like the way FL undermined her schemes and was the one instead who pulled all the cards. I also like that ML was a conspirator as well. I enjoyed this Vertical for what it was. As it is explained in the title itself.

Mainleads delivering awesome passion!
Indeed, the most wholesome part! I loved it! I have seen another Vertical with the same mainleads (where he portrayed twins) and their chemistry is awesome in this one as well! The plot is wacky in the sense that she is married to HIS NEPHEW. At least in other verticals the FL was usually engaged or dating the nephew, but in this one she is married. It is a horrible marriage, but still. So the romance is even more forbidden here, but IT IS ELECTRIC and yeah. Makes your heart beat faster every time they even look at each other. IF LOOKS COULD BURN! Wang Nan does the cold-blooded but passionate Alpha Mob Boss so well! He had such a tortured soul, but he truly loved his heroine! This is one of those dramas where you simply could not get enough of the hero! I wanted to know more about his past!Was this review helpful to you?
I literally grew up watching Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou!!
This story and the characters had a huge impact on me ever since first watching it as a kid. I am surprised no one has written a review for this sequel movie yet, so i am gonna put it here first since i LOVE this story and the characters to bits. The leader of Bakada Tatsuya, his right wing Tetsuya, the Cattleya leader Fumie and her right wing Saya and the rest of the Bakada gang. All of them stole pieces of my heart. Their pride and honor, the way they were willing to die to protect it. Its that oldschool fierce spirit that doesn`t really exists in our modern society anymore.I miss these type of boys, boys who were fearless and had the courage to fight for the people they love and their honor. They are my childhood heroes. The Bakada boys and the Cattleya girls fighting as allies shoulders to shoulders and fighting any injustice coming their way to hurt their school. Despite their differences they learned a lot from each other and i love re-watching the drama series and movie sequel every damn year because Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou is a classic to me and dear to my heart!Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful interpretation of a tragic Love-Story...
"Jang Ok Jung" is a historical romance drama filled with political intrigues, adventure, action and romance. Just packed with entertainment and a amazing cast that just delivered in all their performances. This is my first time watching Yoo Ah In on-screen and what a handsome and talented actor, his smile made me all gooey inside! And his voice, ahhhh his beautiful deep voice! His portrayal of the cunning but noble King Suk Jong was incredible, the character arc was amazingly written! I had seen Kim Taw Hee in "Stairway to Heaven" as SFL character, so i loved watching her as the female lead, heroine/Anti-heroine Jang Ok Jung and her journey to the palace and the King`s heart. I could never hate this woman, i got frustrated yes, but mind you this were different times and survival in a harsh environment like this were crucial. Prince Dong Pyung was such a great sidekick and character as well, loved and felt for him badly!The OST are awesome, could listen to these songs all day. Finished this drama with my mother and sister. All of us cried in the end.

Old-school Slap-Kiss Romance
”Fire of Desire” is a lakhorn that took my breath away when I first watched it some years ago. I decided to re-watch it when I saw that Dragon’s Lair had finished subbing it and I am so grateful for that!! We have a very good looking Caucasian hero first time ever in a Thai Lakhorn (that I had seen, well except for Bandit in ” Roy Marn”) portraying the American rich heir Kenneth who is the best friend of Uma’s older brother. Kenneth speaks Thai as second language and loves Thai food and the culture immensely and he secretly loved his best friends sister all along-Uma in this case has strong prejudice towards foreign people and lashes out at Ken in every turn. When circumstances forces Uma to marry the one man she desperately despises, her hatred will wither away under Ken’s watchful gaze, speaking of his longing and love- the fire of his desire!!!Was this review helpful to you?
A nicely done cinderella trope that made me lose sleep for three nights!
As the translation to the title of this drama says, "The Necessary Wife" is the central part of this old-school romantic drama starring the very beautiful on-screen couple Petvisetsiri Swiss as the rich but down to earth/honorable Male Hero Tohmorn Taradorn and Namfon Kullanat as the beautiful hard-working orphan Tawan. This lakhorn really delivers in a lot of aspects: we get greedy villains, gossiping servants, identity switch, misunderstandings, slap-kiss, an old vow of engagement and a sweet love-story in mids of all this chaos.I mainly (duhhh) enjoyed this lakhorn for the mainleads and what an electrifying chemistry they actually had in their every scene together. I also loved them in another lakhorn called "Ploy Lom Peth". I actually binge watched this lakhorn in three days and i found every ep exciting and just could not drop this one at all, i just had to finish it. I would also have given this lakhorn higher rating if it weren`t for how much screen time the villains had in this lakhorn. They were simply awful, though Yard`s mother is a terrific actress and i enjoyed her acting. I also wonder what the name of the actor who played Benley is? I don`t see him in the MDL cast of this lakhorn, he did really good in making me hate him.

I feel like i fell into a trap...
This movie is a erotic drama damn it and i rarely watch these kind of movies. I thought the female actress looked beautiful but her character was kinda one dimensional to me, well all characters were one dimensional and not much was shown here. Or even delivered acting wise, and the plot is despicable in my opinion. Infidelity is a trope i hate.It all was so predictable as well. I saw some things come from miles away. I regret watching this.
