The story is nothing new or original and at times it is a bit draggy. However, I'm loving the chemistry and interactions between Kim Mi So and Lee Yeong Joon, they're so hilarious and cute at the same time <3
I'm loving how they fight, they are sweet and caring to each other, their expressions towards each other, they are honest with each other (at least in terms of work), when they still glances at each other, when they have long eye contact (that part is so cute ^_^), when they are jealous of each other, etc. I love them! <3
Yeah they obviously loved each other from the beginning of the drama, and are conscious of it now, but they are both newbies in love, so I'm sure it will take them same more time for them to officially end up together, uhh. But hopefully, it won't take until the last episode for them to officially end up together.
Also, it is still in the beginning, but I think they were both in the same kidnapping case years ago and suffered a trauma, although they have different phobias + I'm not sure whether his older brother was involved as well, since he had a nightmare as well and Lee Yeong Joon usually has nightmares as well.
Also, I'm not sure why the brothers do not get along, maybe it's related to this kidnapping thing, maybe one of the brothers left one behind and still resent each other, or maybe it's something else entirely.
For other couples, I'm shipping some characters together, like Kim Ji Ah (new secretary) with Go Gwi Nam (due to the suit investigation lol) and Bong Se Ra with Yang Cheol (I'm not sure about them if they would end up together, but they look like they would make a good couple) :D
EDIT: In the middle of ep 10.....
Kim Mi So and Lee Yeong Joon got officially together! Their kisses and chemistry are awesome :D Now they have to get through the obstacles of their families + the kidnapping thing.
The boy Mi So knew from when they were younger is clearly Yeong Joon, I don't get why he is telling her he is not + I think his mother knows as well and they are hiding it. He pretended he lost his memory, when he clearly recognised Mi So and got her to work as his secretary + he has nightmares, he has a trauma, he has scars on his legs + he said that a designer liked him and designed his clothes and he gets cold easily (where his older brother loves winter) and his mother confirmed that as well + apparently he had another name + the final thing was his picture, Mi So remembers him and it is clearly Yeong Joon.
I'm curious about why he is lying about it and trying to hide it + as Mi So said they planted the older brother with memories that he clearly did not have. I'm really curious about the kidnapping case and what really happened and why they are insisting that it was the older brother who was kidnapped.
Anyway, I'm right about one couple that I shipped = Bong Se Ra and Yang Cheol :D They like each other! ^_^ She fell for him because he protected her from her fallen bra pad, that was hilarious + the sausages lol, that was hilarious as well xD Then when he sang, she fell more in love with him + she confessed that she likes him and wants to ask him out when she was drunk, that was hilarious and adorable <3 They would make a great couple <3 Wow, the actor has an awesome voice, I was impressed and totally did not expect it :D And his character here is so adorable, I hope they end up together soon ^_^
For the other couple, there are some sparks, but still a long way to go, who knows maybe soon ;)
EDIT 2: On ep 11.....
The truth came out and that was chilling. I did not expect for the kidnapper to do that + Yeong Joon was very brave at that age, I really admire him. Yeah he did suffer, but he tried everything for Mi So at age 5 not to see, that was impressive.
Now they don't have any secret between them, and things are going for the better, even though with Mi So's memory back she might have nightmares.
For the parents of the brothers, it was wrong of them to do that and say that the older brother was kidnapped when he was not. But they did not know that Yeong Joon remembered everything. He probably thought that it was better to pretended that he forgot, as it made things a bit easier in their family. Hopefully, the older brother will try to patch things up and the younger one will forgive.
EDIT 3: On ep 14.....
I'm glad things went for the better :) The brothers and their family are ok now.
For the couples, Kim Mi So and Lee Yeong Joon awesome chemistry and awesome kisses :D
Bong Se Ra and Yang Cheol are now officially together, they're so cute ^_^ I loved the way he asked her to be his girlfriend, with coke lol :D But they're keeping it a secret for now.
Kim Ji Ah and Go Gwi Nam are more closer now and she definitely likes him and he cares for her, we'll hope they'll end up together soon :)
EDIT 4: On last ep....
For the couples, they're all officially together! :D Even Yoo Shik got together with his ex-wife thanks to his secretary's mistake lol :D
Also, I loved that they showed us the wedding preparations, it's been some time since I watched a drama that shows that :)
Loved the ending + their wedding <3
Final thoughts:
This drama was nice and I enjoyed it a lot :D Yeah the story was nothing special or original, had the cliche korean drama stuff, etc but I loved it xD Also, it was hilarious till the end, I laughed a lot ^_^ It had some serious moments, but mostly it was light story ^_^ Also, loved that there weren't any excessive family drama :) + Loved the cast, characters and acting + chemistry of the whole cast, great friendship and great romance :D
I liked the cast, characters, acting, clothing, the martial arts and battle scenes, the story focusing on the 5 kingdoms, the fantasy and magic plot, the mystical animals, music (my favourite was Bei Ye's lullaby), the plot and twists that I did not expect, the 5-seal plot on Fu Yao, the identities regarding Fu Yao and Wu Ji (he had lots of different identities), the chemistry of the main leads + kisses (it was awesome :D) and the chemistry of Bei Ye and Lan Zhu :D I liked the friendship and loyalty between these characters as well ^_^
You can say that all things we were curious about were mentioned, nothing in the story was left in the air or forgotten, at least in my opinion.
Also, the story varied as it had sad, light and hilarious moments, romantic moments, revenge, deaths, injustice, justice, friendship, hatred between families, love in all forms, jealousy, mystical animals, evil and good characters, etc. This way the story kept my attention and curious enough to continue watching it + the fantasy element was interesting as well ^_^
On thing I did not like was that the story was too draggy, episodes 66 are too long. I fast forward half of the episodes for sure. However, I still wanted to continue watching it, I was curious to see what will happen, especially since the main leads loved each other, but we the viewers knew that they had an ill-fate relationship.
The irony is that even though the story was draggy, at the same time it feels like that it was necessary in order for the story to get to this point and in order to not leave anything out. Even the characters, I found them all important and necessary for the story, even the ones that had brief appearances or those whose faces we never got to see.
I don't regret watching it as this story made me feel all kinds of emotions, now I'm hoping it will end well.
At the end:
Finally finished! Friendship was awesome, they all came to help :)
For the ending, it was rushed. One moment we see them holding hands and on the verge of dying and then we see them in another scene. I think they went to heaven or something together and we see them looking down on the mortal world. I think we should consider it a happy ending, as the world was saved and even if they died, they are together.
I don't know what to feel for the ending, it's kind of unsatisfying.......I did not know what to expect actually.........anyway I can't believe it finished, it was a long emotional ride. On the whole I liked it and I don't regret watching it :)
I actually quite like it :) I like that it's a light drama with no complications or lots of unnecessary drama. Also, I like that the stepson and step mother are not greedy or try to get rid of the main lead. There is hatred but it's not that heavy, I'm hoping it will turn better. I think there are misunderstandings, but we'll get to know later in the story.
For the leads, I like their bickering and when they tease each other, it's so cute and adorable ^_^ I like their chemistry :D It makes me smile and laugh :D And when they glare at each other, I don't know why I find it hilarious and cute ^_^
I feel that it's not the best drama in the world or the most original one, but it's quite enjoyable, at least up till I watched :) I'll continue watching :)
EDIT: On ep 13.....
The main leads definitely love each other, but still did not admit it. Anyway, they're so cute and adorable together <3 When they tease each other and now I see them smiling, they're so cute <3 On ep 10, we get to see more clearly that they love each other :D Especially Pai because how she is acting towards Pan + she daydreams that he kisses her = tells us that she loves him ^_^ He also misses her, wants to be with her, etc = he loves her as well ^_^
For Ek and Fah, I want them to end up together. I think Ek is starting to feel something for Fah, but I'm not sure, since he already rejected Fah + he's currently engaged with Chon, uh. What I hated is that they made Ek love Pai more than a sister. It was unnecessary here and I loved their relationship as a brother and sister even though they are not really brother and sister, and they had to go and make us see that he actually loved her more as a sister, uh! But anyway, we'll see what will happen next.
Anyway, the story turned a bit complicated and a bit serious with Chon and her dad doing bad things, like putting shrimp in the food, when Pai's aunt is allergic to it, pining murder on Pan's father, etc + it's getting draggy. To be honest, I started fast forwarding from ep 9 onwards, as it got a bit draggy and unnecessary long.
But the truth will hopefully come out soon, to see what exactly happened between Pan's father and his first wife. Hopefully, Pan will reconcile with his dad, his second wife, his step brother and get together with Pai.
I'll continue watching......
EDIT 2: Last ep....
Finally the truth came out and I did not guess what will happen, it was surprising. For the affair I knew it, but for the son I did not.
The villains in a way they got what they deserved but I still pitied them.
For the main leads, I thought Pan is going to tell her that he loves her at the office, but he told her to forget everything between them! Uhh the story got more draggy and annoying. A torture for the leads to officially end up together. Still why didn't Pai take the initiative and tell him that she loves him? Why wait for him, if he did not tell her? Uhh so annoying!!
Anyway, she went after him and then he finally told her that he loves her! And she responded with a kiss, so cute <3 <3
Lol, it had a double ending, apparently she was imagining the kiss, and he told her he will kiss her somewhere in private, that was hilarious xD Anyway, loved the ending and the story. It was light and a normal story, but I enjoyed watching it ^_^
Finished! :) I liked the second season, it was interesting and exciting, but I liked season 1 more as I agree with some comments below, we got to see Kang Kwon Joo's ability more and saving the people parts were more interesting and memorable in season 1.
Anway, I still liked the story and the villain here was more evil and interesting. Also, we get to see at the end that he is not the only one, but some other people who are Japanese were supporting the villain and his cause + they were the actual ones who were targeting Do Kang Woo/Kosuke.
Also, I really did not want to start the second season since I knew they will continue it in the 3rd season + I knew that they will end it as a cliffhanger, damn it! But I was so curious about it that I started it and now I have to wait for the 3rd season to know what happened to Kwon Joo + what the other villain will plan next.
On the whole, I liked the 2nd season, it began awesome, got a bit draggy and boring in the middle and ended interesting but with a cliffhanger. Looking forward to watch season 3 :)
Loved it :D It was such a light, hilarious and enjoyable story :) Wakagimi and Yui were so cute together ^_^ It was a shame that we did not get to see more of the main couple together, it was kind of rushed at the end, but I loved it anyway :D Also, I wanted to see a kiss scene, but they got interrupted 2 times and we did not get to see anything!
Moreover, I'm glad that the writers gave Yui a choice where she could go back to her time. And so she decided to stay in the past with the one she loves and it's a happy ending xD
Also, I liked how the villain which was his brother changed for the better and also other characters worked towards peace without any battle. It made me happy and enjoyed it a lot :D
Moreover, I'm glad that there weren't many deaths of the main characters + there weren't bloody fights or samurai performing seppuku = which makes me see it as a light drama :)
I watched Nobunaga Concerto recently so I thought it would be similar, but it was different, Ashi Girl was lighter, but I enjoyed both of them. The similar thing about them was the time travelling theme but even how they travelled to the past was different.
Also, I heard there is an SP coming out soon this year, so I'll look forward to it ^_^
It was very interesting to watch. I don't like puppets, but I got curious about this one and I loved it :D
The effects were awesome and it was realistic. It was like people wearing costumes and masks, but it was puppets. Even the movements of the puppets + martial art scenes were awesome :D I also loved the costumes of the puppets + the background. Even the music was good :D
Also, I read that it was a joint production between the Japanese and Taiwanese, which explains why it had a chinese historical feel to it + the names of the characters sound chinese.
For the story, it was interesting as well and had multiple twists to it. I never guessed what will happen, which made it more awesome to watch. For the main character, you think that he is useless but he turned out to be the hero of the story.
I heard that there will be a 2nd season that will come out this year, I will look forward to it :)
It was kind of weird, but very original. I loved the cyber lover thing + the story was not your typical one, which surprised me and made me love this movie more. And I usually hate indefinitely stories, but I don't know why, here it did not bother me.
Also, I loved the chemistry of the actors + kiss scenes, it was awesome and intense :D I rarely see awesome kiss scenes, which is why I lately started watching BL stories, as the kiss scenes are really good + the best ones are usually taiwanese dramas or movies :)
I loved it! :D It wasn't perfect, but I loved the cast, characters and the story ^_^ The story had hilarious moments, serious moments, moments where you learn, etc. I enjoyed watching it :D I was looking forward to watch this drama and I was satisfied ^_^
More Details:
I loved how we could see different aspects in the sense that we got to learn more about the work involved in a magazine, we got to learn about famous designers that I never heard of (the only one I know was Coco Chanel) and not only related to fashion but if I remember correctly Ford was mentioned and that is related to cars.
Also, the main actress was going to get married but her fiance cheated on her. I liked how we got to see why he cheated on her. Of course, cheating should never happen in any situation, but it makes us see that bad things that happen in a relationship because it may the fault of both parties involved in a relationship. I liked how we got to see realistic situations, which are happening around us in real life.
Moreover, it tells us that honesty is the most important in a relationship and it is better to show your real self and share your problems with your partner as it forms a healthy relationship. And if that does not work out, it is better to break it off, like Sayaka and her ex-fiancee.
I loved how Sayaka changed. At first, she priotized the marriage, and forgot her dreams for it. But later on, thanks to the pain she went through, she began to love herself more (thanks to Usami), remember her dreams and the best of all is that marriage should not restrict a woman and like in this drama quit her job for her husband and support him. She was going to do the same for Yuichi but she acted quickly. I think that marriage should be where both persons should support each other for their dreams, etc.
Anyway, even though she ended up with Yuichi at the end and it was a happy ending + nice wedding + Usami turned out more like a father/friend. I still shipped Sayaka with Usami. As she showed her real self in front of him + he knows everything about her + they call each other for lots of stuff + their chemistry was awesome and I loved how they are so honest and straightforward with each other + it's so cute each time he picked on her :3 It's a shame, but anyway I enjoyed the whole drama :)
It was draggy in the middle of it, but the ending was awesome, I loved it :D It made it worth it to watch both the drama and the movie ^_^
What I found stupid is the 10 years later part. As someone said in the comments below and agree with it, is that everything kind of remained the same. At least the change I saw was in Saburo, he became more skilled in fighting and he killed his enemies without feeling guilty when compared to how he was in the drama.
Moreover, I was happy that he went back to the future and the yakuza guy went back as well :D The sad part was that Kichou and Saburo got seperated, but his will for peace moved on to his followers, after he died in the past. That connected to the future, where there is peace, at least in Japan in this case. As there are still countries with wars, so it's not total peace.
Loved it :D It was very interesting and made me laugh, cry, be serious, etc. It made me feel lots of emotions. Also, I loved all the cast and characters and their acting was awesome :D
I hated it when they some characters performed suicide or attempted to do it, and make it seem like it's the normal thing to do, those parts were very sad.
Moreover, I liked the music which went well according to each scene.
For the ending, that was something I did not expect, for the real Nobunaga to turn evil and jealous. The lead actor did an excellent job into portraying 2 characters. It made me think that he is 2 different persons, anyway he is awesome as always ^_^
I don't know why it took me 4 years to start watching it, but I'm glad I did, it was awesome :D
One thing, it's still a mystery to me is, how did Saburo (fake Nobunaga) and the other 2 guys from the future (one from 1972 and the Yakuza guy from 2004) went to the past in the first place? That one is still a mystery to me. If there were hints, I did not see it.
Yeah ok Saburo fell and rolled in the ground and suddenly went into the past, but it still does not explain how they went into the past. However, it is not that important to me, I still loved the time travelling theme so that did not bother me that much :)
1 
Loved that they solved cases using literature, words and letters and solved past cases, even cases dated back to 15 years!
It was interesting and original as I never seen it in any drama before. I also liked the sismance between Yashiro and Narumi, a great team ^_^
currently watching and on ep 6.....
The story is nothing new or original and at times it is a bit draggy. However, I'm loving the chemistry and interactions between Kim Mi So and Lee Yeong Joon, they're so hilarious and cute at the same time <3
I'm loving how they fight, they are sweet and caring to each other, their expressions towards each other, they are honest with each other (at least in terms of work), when they still glances at each other, when they have long eye contact (that part is so cute ^_^), when they are jealous of each other, etc. I love them! <3
Yeah they obviously loved each other from the beginning of the drama, and are conscious of it now, but they are both newbies in love, so I'm sure it will take them same more time for them to officially end up together, uhh. But hopefully, it won't take until the last episode for them to officially end up together.
Also, it is still in the beginning, but I think they were both in the same kidnapping case years ago and suffered a trauma, although they have different phobias + I'm not sure whether his older brother was involved as well, since he had a nightmare as well and Lee Yeong Joon usually has nightmares as well.
Also, I'm not sure why the brothers do not get along, maybe it's related to this kidnapping thing, maybe one of the brothers left one behind and still resent each other, or maybe it's something else entirely.
For other couples, I'm shipping some characters together, like Kim Ji Ah (new secretary) with Go Gwi Nam (due to the suit investigation lol) and Bong Se Ra with Yang Cheol (I'm not sure about them if they would end up together, but they look like they would make a good couple) :D

Bong Se Ra and Yang Cheol are now officially together, they're so cute ^_^ I loved the way he asked her to be his girlfriend, with coke lol :D But they're keeping it a secret for now.
Kim Ji Ah and Go Gwi Nam are more closer now and she definitely likes him and he cares for her, we'll hope they'll end up together soon :)
EDIT 4: On last ep....

Rahut Torachon (2011)
Nang Rai Sai Lab (2013)
Enjoy, hope you will like them :)
The effects were awesome and it was realistic. It was like people wearing costumes and masks, but it was puppets. Even the movements of the puppets + martial art scenes were awesome :D I also loved the costumes of the puppets + the background. Even the music was good :D

Also, I loved the chemistry of the actors + kiss scenes, it was awesome and intense :D I rarely see awesome kiss scenes, which is why I lately started watching BL stories, as the kiss scenes are really good + the best ones are usually taiwanese dramas or movies :)
General thoughts:
I loved it! :D It wasn't perfect, but I loved the cast, characters and the story ^_^ The story had hilarious moments, serious moments, moments where you learn, etc. I enjoyed watching it :D I was looking forward to watch this drama and I was satisfied ^_^
More Details:
I loved how we could see different aspects in the sense that we got to learn more about the work involved in a magazine, we got to learn about famous designers that I never heard of (the only one I know was Coco Chanel) and not only related to fashion but if I remember correctly Ford was mentioned and that is related to cars.
Also, the main actress was going to get married but her fiance cheated on her. I liked how we got to see why he cheated on her. Of course, cheating should never happen in any situation, but it makes us see that bad things that happen in a relationship because it may the fault of both parties involved in a relationship. I liked how we got to see realistic situations, which are happening around us in real life.
Moreover, it tells us that honesty is the most important in a relationship and it is better to show your real self and share your problems with your partner as it forms a healthy relationship. And if that does not work out, it is better to break it off, like Sayaka and her ex-fiancee.
I loved how Sayaka changed. At first, she priotized the marriage, and forgot her dreams for it. But later on, thanks to the pain she went through, she began to love herself more (thanks to Usami), remember her dreams and the best of all is that marriage should not restrict a woman and like in this drama quit her job for her husband and support him. She was going to do the same for Yuichi but she acted quickly. I think that marriage should be where both persons should support each other for their dreams, etc.
Anyway, even though she ended up with Yuichi at the end and it was a happy ending + nice wedding + Usami turned out more like a father/friend. I still shipped Sayaka with Usami. As she showed her real self in front of him + he knows everything about her + they call each other for lots of stuff + their chemistry was awesome and I loved how they are so honest and straightforward with each other + it's so cute each time he picked on her :3 It's a shame, but anyway I enjoyed the whole drama :)
It was draggy in the middle of it, but the ending was awesome, I loved it :D It made it worth it to watch both the drama and the movie ^_^
What I found stupid is the 10 years later part. As someone said in the comments below and agree with it, is that everything kind of remained the same. At least the change I saw was in Saburo, he became more skilled in fighting and he killed his enemies without feeling guilty when compared to how he was in the drama.
Moreover, I was happy that he went back to the future and the yakuza guy went back as well :D The sad part was that Kichou and Saburo got seperated, but his will for peace moved on to his followers, after he died in the past. That connected to the future, where there is peace, at least in Japan in this case. As there are still countries with wars, so it's not total peace.
Anyway, it was worth a watch ^_^
Loved it :D It was very interesting and made me laugh, cry, be serious, etc. It made me feel lots of emotions. Also, I loved all the cast and characters and their acting was awesome :D
I hated it when they some characters performed suicide or attempted to do it, and make it seem like it's the normal thing to do, those parts were very sad.
Moreover, I liked the music which went well according to each scene.
For the ending, that was something I did not expect, for the real Nobunaga to turn evil and jealous. The lead actor did an excellent job into portraying 2 characters. It made me think that he is 2 different persons, anyway he is awesome as always ^_^
I don't know why it took me 4 years to start watching it, but I'm glad I did, it was awesome :D
One thing, it's still a mystery to me is, how did Saburo (fake Nobunaga) and the other 2 guys from the future (one from 1972 and the Yakuza guy from 2004) went to the past in the first place? That one is still a mystery to me. If there were hints, I did not see it.
Yeah ok Saburo fell and rolled in the ground and suddenly went into the past, but it still does not explain how they went into the past. However, it is not that important to me, I still loved the time travelling theme so that did not bother me that much :)
Now off to see the movie ^_^
