Is this a game of endurance??!!
Here's the thing, I don't mind a love triangle, I don't care for them but it doesn't stop me from enjoying a story but this drama is getting on my nerves!!! Minutes has got to be the most annoying characters I have ever had to tolerate she's just too much!! Why the heck does she behave this way? and even worse, Why the heck does Yunjae allow this behavior?!!! I seriously don't get it. Such a cute girl, she could have any man she wants and she so shamelessly throws herself at a taken one?!!!! and Yunjae dude, Where's your back bone?!!!Is this the way it's written in the webtoon?? or is this just a challenge by the writters to see how much the audience will endure? Both, maybe??
The subject is so cool, and interesting but it's being ruined by this unnecessary drama!!! How cool would this story be if it were focused solely on the fact the Jieun changes into a man and how hard it is for Yunjae to accept the fact that he loves this person so much that gender doesn't matter?? It is, I see him slowly getting there and that's what I thought this story was going to be, but instead it's being overshadowed by the most nerve wracking, shameless, Homewreker wannabe in the world.
I'm not dropping, yet. I really like the cast, including Chuu, I had never seen her before and we all have to admit, she's doing her job really well, it's not her fault her character is so unlikeable. The genderswap story is what I came for and annoying as it's become with this girl thrown into the mix, I still want to see where it goes.
A little update ahead of the final two episodes, Minjoo will never not ve annoying but the series is so fun even with her in it I loved episodes 9 and 10 so much that I adjusted my rating and I'm really excited to watch the ending next week.
Well I finished it 🤷♀️ ....
The final episode was so underwhelming, I feel cheated, but really what was I expecting? Minjoo made the series unwatchable I stayed out of spite really. I did have fun, everyone did a great Job and I am happy I finished it. I'm being quite generous with a 6.0/10 rating as much as it annoyed me and how dumb ending was, it was an Ok Watch but,I would not put myself through this torture ever again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Nonsense
The only Good thing about this series is the great chemistry between the leads ans that's what kept me watching up yp halfway trhough episode 9 I really wanted to push through and finish it, but I just can't anymore I grew bored and tired of nothing actually happening. A total waste of talent, Mark has got to be one of the best if not the best actor currently working on GMMTV and it pains me to see that when they finally gave him the chance to lead a series they stuck him with this crappy script.Mark and Ohm have realy good chemistry and I am sure they did the best they could with what they got, but wow this mess of a story s so bad that I actually got ecxited when Jimmy showed up despite hating love triangles. the bickering between Jimmy and Mark was really funny but even that went nowhere. Sant's mom sucks and shouldn't have been forgiven that easily. I can't say for sure because I just can't make myself anymore of this but I think one could watch the first episode skip to the last and not miss much of the story.
I hope to see this pair again in something with actual substance they deserve redemption.

I wanted to like this
I haven't read the webtoon this drama is based on so I had no idea what it would be about and was so annoyed when the source of the super powers was explained, of all the stupid super powers this has got to be the worst. In order to access his powers he has to have cash on him that literally disappears as he's using it leaving a few coins behind, when the money burns through he's powerless, What??!!!He's been in a relationship with this woman for 9 years and they barely seem like they're acquaintances, as other super powered humans appear instead of becoming more interesting it just became boring, it couldn't hold my attention, I just kept fidgeting the whole time and by the time the credits rolled on the 3rd episode I had no idea who was who and what had happened, it's just ao boring despite looking so good and having a great cast, as much as I wanted to like this I just don't.

Absolute perfection.
I have been meaning to write a review for this drama for a couple days now and quite frankly there's nothing I could say that hasn't been said by other reviewers already. It's sitting at a 9.3 rating as of the time of this review and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up.When life gives you tangerines...Even the title is perfect. I started to watch on Wednesday and finished it on Friday and I kinda want to start over I loved so much.
The beautiful intro I couldn't bring myself to skip, The gorgeous Jeju scenery, the wardrobe and hairstyling through the eras was wonderful every single line of dialogue is precious. I laughed, cried, fell in love hated some some people, loved, laughed and I cried again. Just perfect from start to finish.
Everyone should watch this for sure!

Gorgeous but boring and ultimately disappointing
I had been waiting a long time for this!!I'm extremely disappointed, I really wanted to like this but after two strong episodes the story starts getting draggy and boring to the point that the only thing that kept me watching is how beautifull stylized it is. No wonder it took so long for it to be released, and I would've waited longer for a better script. It is by far the best Thai production I've watched, in terms of set design, costume, makeup, history, and world building it's a totally made-up country with fake history and culture and it feels real. Absolutely delightful to watch, story wise however, it's lacking, too slow paced and awkward conversations.
I want to keep watching so badly, I do, only for the beauty of it all but it's so boring that I even started to look away and completely lost focus of what was happening and got so confused that I am sadly dropping it halfway through, maybe I am being hasty, maybe not but I can't anymore.

So we're glorifying stalkers now??!!
Big fan of Love in the air here. I was eagerly waiting for this one, especially since I didn't like Love sea.I thought, "I like these two better than Fort/Peat so even if the story sucks, I'll enjoy it" I couldn't have been more wrong!!
I don't even know where to begin.I wasn't really into it, my mind kept drifting off and I couldn't quite follow.
Cirrus gets into an accident and when he wakes up, claims he came from a parallel universes where He and Phu are in a relationship. He finds Phu and tells him all about it, everything in this universe is pretty much the same except Cirrus and Phu are basically strangers. Cirrus Knows so much about phu his habits, his likes dislikes his apartment door password! What else can Phu do but to believe him right? there sure couldn't be any other reason why Cirrus would kno so much about him.
I thought it was so weird that in parallel universes only one thing changed this minor detail just kept eating at me and then the twist!! it's not parallel universes silly!! it's just a deranged lunatic stalker taking advantage of a helplessly naieve little boy.
Dude tricked him into believing the most ridiculous story, He has been stalking him for years!! and we're supposed to root for him why? Cause he's hot? cause his mother abuses him?? what?!!
No! absolutely not I refuse to keep watching this nonsense just no!! Lady needs to stop with these creepy stories.
I had dropped Love sea because it was more of the same, just roles reversed, but I'm thinking that one might be more bearable now.
This is a complete waste of talent, I hope that Boss/Noeul are given a better script next time and for the Love of god Stop making Noeul act like child.

Certainly worth the high ratings!
I began to binge watch this series at the perfect moment; Thunderstorm outside the dark, cold and gloomy atmosphere made a 10/10 first episode even more enjoyable.It gave me the sense that this was going to be a horror show that just happened to revolve around gay men, it's not though, it is instead a beautifully told love story that knows no gender or sexuality and so strong that it can't be stopped, not by curses, Vengeful spirits or even death, with a little horror here and there just for funsies and a gorgeous cast for good measure. Though I did want more horror I can't complain about a story this good.
I got fully invested in the past lives connections, the mystery of the curse attached to Khem. How stunning the ladies were in their past lives, the adorable little boys, again the entire cast is so gorgeous. I have to applaud especially how well the casting of the younger versions of Khem, the shaman and Phrim was it's flawless totally believable.
Ramphueng is a perfectly written Villain, she's the kind of villain so awful, so ruthless yet you get where they're coming from and could easily root for them. Her curse is so petty so harsh and unfair, however, her back story is heartbreaking and just as unfair as the curse was. I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but for me this one is a 10/10 beginning to end.

Beautiful delinquents
After being disappointed by other recent series with insanely high ratings I was a little scared to start this one but, boy I'm glad I did.I started yesterday and within the first 5 minutes I already knew I was going to like it. I'm 7 episodes in and I might sacrifice sleep tonight because I can't stop, I need to know more.
I assume that at some point Shin is going to forgive Saint and I'll be happy when he does but , If he doesn't Wouldn't be mad, it wasn't a misunderstanding or a mistake nor was he forced to do it, He did it because He want it to because He is that selfish and although He shows remorse and seems to really love Shin, Does he really deserve forgiveness?We'll see...
Also it says Bromance, but, Aren't all bromances just a little bit gay?
Did I end the first half of my review by saying that this was a bromance with a little gay in it??
Because no it is not it love 100% without any doubts these two boys are madly in love with each other and it's so satisfying to watch.
"I'm not mad at you because you broke my leg, I'm hurt because you chose to walk away"...just one of my favorite lines in this show.
Beautiful delinquents is what I chose to name tittle this review, because it's the first impression I got, it's a school full of troubled kids all of them ridiculously good looking it reminded me of when I was 13-14 and turned on the tv to watch Dawson's creek and Buffy (yes I am that old). And it's that nostalgia that first got to me but then I stayed for the story, The characters are all so good I fell in love with all of them.
I watched all 16 episodes without skipping anything, eyes glued to the screen with a big smile on my face.
The only reason I am not giving this show a 10/10 review is because it dragged a bit towards the middle, they kept having the same fight over and over between Shin and Saint, same discussion same outcome every time, insteadbof that I would've preferred to see more of the supporting characters as I said they were all so good, the actors did an amazing job so it's a shame that they didn't get enough screen time. Also we're told that Saint used to be this vicious bully but aside from that one flashback we really didn't get to see him be that horrible person, I would've liked to see a bit more of that in the past to contrast to this sweet puppy faced dummy that we're seeing in the present.
The twins shone here it's the best I've seen of them up until now and I would absolutely love in the future to see either one of them, but preferably both play a main antagonist like the big bad irredeemable people that we can't help Bute hate. I am a 100% sure they would nail a part like that.
In conclusion this show is absolutely amazing I loved it and I would recommend it to people and I will rewatch a bunch of times.

I desperately wanted to like this
I love this cast so much!! Lee Jongsuk is one of my OG korean crushes and whenever I see Moon Kayoung I can't help but smile, she's just so adorable!! I love that Kang you Seok is getting more main roles and everyone else including the guest casts are people that I enjoy watching a lot.so regardless of the plot I was going to watch this, but, I don't know what I was expecting, but this surely isn't it. It's not exactly boring but it's not exciting either, the characters interactions are great I really like how they're getting along but there's still something missing. I completely lost interest midway through the second episode and I don't know if I want to continue watching to see the progress of the story or because I am biased by the casting.
I will come back once more episodes air, maybe I will get into the story then, but for now it's very mid and I don't think Moon kayoung and Lee Jongsuk make a convincing couple if that's where the story is going. I do hope they prove me wrong though.

Why did I even doubt!?
At first I wasn't interested in this drama, I thought the plot was boring and cliché but I am obsessed with Park Boyoung so I gave it a chance.This series is so beautifully written Park Boyoung is stellar in this double role both twins have very distinct personalities and are totally different from each other, the younger actress is also wonderful I am loving her performance.
I cried like an idiot in the first episode got so invested in the story by the second I am so excited to see the rest.
An update, while watching episode 5 I am getting annoyed with the switch, it's son unfair that Hosu still doesn't know and I hate how Miji is playing with his feelings, he's cool and he actually called it she should've told him already and I am sure 100% that he would be more helpful if he knew the twins were switched. I truly hope that he either figures it out when he sees Mirae as Miji or the flat out tell him already. For this reason I am deducting a point, Miscommunication is one of my biggest pet peeves and I'm getting frustrated here.
Back after finishing episode 6. The anger I felt at the beginning of episode 5 has completely disappeared and turned into the dumbest smile, I'm so pleased we finally got here but I hated having to go through such frustration and uneasiness so I'm keeping the rating at a 9. I love this show so so so much!!!!
The ending was so nice! I loved it, the twins are great Hosu is a bit annoying but I still loved him and the Moms are perfect!!.This was a joy to watch, yes, there are some not so good parts, but it is still worth the watch.

Watch as blindly as possible!
I added this drama to my list about a year ago or so solely because Park Boyoung, if she's in it I'll watch, literally anything no matter what it is or what it's about. I knew this was based on a manhwa by the same author of Moving, another 10/10 series, and I planned to read tje source material, but I never did.I came into it confused, not really knowing what was going on, scared and anxious, pretty much like one of the characters in the series. Every thing about this series is absolutely perfect, the dialogue, lighting, sounds, ambience and the subtle foreshadowing kept my eyes glued to the screen the entire time.
My advice, watch with as little information about it as possible, pay close attention every single detail is important.
There's a post-credit scene in the final episode, be sure to watch. It's awesome!!

Insanely good!!
Twelve letters is one of the best series I've ever watched, I swear it's not an exaggeration! It truly deseves the high rating if anything it could be a little higher.The story grabbed my attention from the very first scene right up until the ending credits, no boring moments, no draggy unnecessary subplots just perfect story telling it starts with a mystry that slowy unravels and leads to another one and another one, never overwhelming never disappoiting. The fantasy element feels very grounded like it could actually happen and the caracheters are beautifully written I truly loved this one and the only reason I am giving it a 9.5 instead of a 10 it's out of pettiness I just wanted a teeny tiny more, just one more scene of them together yes I'm greedy I know it's perfect the way it is but still i long for just one more smile.
If you're still doubting, stop, and just wach it, trust me, it hurts, you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll scream at your screen and want to choke a couple of MFs, and you'll love every minute of it.

A second season has to happen, Right?!
I started this series with no expectations really and ended up absolutely loving it!It hooked me from the very beginning and Injsut kept clicking next until there was no more left and it left me wanting more. I devoured this show I just Finished it a few minutes ago and I'm already itching to start again, it was truly wonderful.
It felt expensive, it looked beautiful, from the gorgeous cast to the fabulous costume design, music, acting, everything was so so good!
All the carachters are so well written and acted, truly brilliant each and every one is flawed none of them are innocent little lambs but they're not all evil either except for Lukjan she was horrible and I hated her every second she was on screen, but that was the point, right? I wish we would've gotten some back story for her, but again maybe that was the point.
I'm not going to ramble on anymore, go watch this series if you haven't, it's really good.

A well done adaptation
This is a cute drama, very easy one time watch, the actors are gorgeous and the atmosphere is sweet.When I read the maga a while back, there were some things about the story that I didn't like and almost didn't continue reading it. But Hayakawa intrigued me, I needed to understand why he acted the way he did so I finished it despite the upsetting events.
I am so happy that this version changed those things thatI didn't like and other than that they stayed very true to the source material. I was left wanting more in both instances, the story feels incomplete somehow and also I expected the music to be better, as Hayakawa is described as such a great musician, but still it's sweet and worth the watch.
I don't think I would watch a second time, but I would recommend it to friends.

It's fun if you don't take it seriously
I originally watched this series while airing and although I enjoyed it I still thought it was dumb so I gave it a 5. After watching Jack and Joker recently and being utterly disappointed by how dumb the story I remembered this one and thought that 5 was to harsh because at least this one somewhat makes sense sometimes so I decided to re-watch and give it a better rating if needed.10 episodes into the re-watch I have to admit that 5 was generous enough. It's cute, with great scenery, good looking leads and great soundtrack. But all the plot holes and the bad acting make it a tough watch, especially the second time around.
I would recommend to watch this one if you have nothing else to do, just enjoy the silliness and the beauty of it. Also the special episodes are cute I recommend to watch them once your done with the series.
Em did I say the specials were good?? I was sure I had liked it the first time around, I had given them a 6 🤣 The specials are so so much worse, but again, pretty scenery beautiful boys, watch if you're bored, forget logic and enjoy the silliness.
