You might skip this, you might not — but you should definitely watch Dark.
Now, I have to say it: there’s more logic in a story about a killer robot who watches soap operas than in this. Sure, I know it’s fiction, and I could treat it like fiction… but come on — how many killer robots do you know personally?Anyway, I’ll leave Murderbot out of this and focus on the series at hand.I actually liked it at first — I even wrote a bunch of positive comments. I was hopeful, naive, full of trust. And then the last few episodes hit…
My short answer: it’s just not good.
The long version? See below:
(I'm going to keep this short and cute because I can already feel the rant review from kilometers away.)
* The screenwriter seems confused. Instead of accepting that this is a thriller with sci-fi elements, she tries to cram in social commentary, romance, and... space art. The stars speak. Which stars? Unclear. Maybe Mercury was in retrograde when the script was finalized.
* The timeline jumps back and forth with no warning. What year is it? How much time has passed? Give us something — anything — to hold onto.
* It tries to be more complex than it really is. And there I am, convinced there’s some profound truth beneath it all. Like Lost or Devs (time loops, hidden meanings, cryptic storytelling)… but there’s nothing there.
* The show is great at raising questions without offering a single answer. It covers up plot holes and confusion by piling on more mystery.
* A great premise and decent acting are wasted on an incoherent plot. Mysterious elements are added for shock value, but the mystery is never explained.
*There has to be some deeper meaning behind all of it, right? Right?! Or is it just bad luck?
* I did love that Dream's is ace — but it’s such a small part, it only made me smile a little. Still, I have to give her credit — she delivered raw emotion and sincerity like a pro… even while surrounded by plot twists that felt like they were written during a caffeine crash.
* There were also so many odd, cringe-worthy moments that I can’t really get into here without spoiling major plot points — but yeah, episode after episode of that kind of thing gets old fast.
The truth is, I dropped it. But then I told myself: “Omini, just three more episodes — don’t you want to see how it ends?”
It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. I feel like Experiment 626, but without the aloha or the Hawaiian roller coaster ride.
All that said — I really don’t recommend this series to anyone.
I get that some people liked it (I checked the reviews and comments), but with so many great shows out there… why waste your time on this one?
Got any great mystery/thriller recommendations? I'd love to hear them!

I trust you. As part of my family, I trust you… that is, not at all.
I hesitate to say too much here, because I feel like you should really let the series surprise you.What you need to know:The Bupphachinda sisters are at their breaking point. Their plan is to risk everything to keep the truth to themselves and hide all the dirty little secrets they have. They also need to find out what happened to their sister — and to their family as a whole — and, last but not least, they shouldn’t trust anyone... not even each other.
Of coursee, things never go as planned.
They get a glimpse of what was, and it’s anything but what they expected.
The story deals heavily with murder, sorrow, betrayal, deceit, distrust, dysfunctional family dynamics, and mental health struggles.
My experience:
From the first episode, my heart was in a vice. I was constantly guessing, theorizing, second-guessing every smile and every word — and yet, beneath the tension, there was this aching sadness I couldn’t shake. The youngest sister is gone. Another (Picha) tries to play the victim and at the same time meets an old friend — or perhaps a new love — whom she must deceive. Baibua stands at the edge of desperation, facing a chance to finally have what she thought she always wanted. Chomphu — beautiful and confident, but actually, deep down, vulnerable and deeply unhappy.
Around them swirl the sweet cousin,the domineering father, the mother who raised them to be wary of everyone, even each other, the strange maid, the unsettling uncle, and a whole web of secrets waiting to be revealed.
I screamed at the characters more times than I can count — Why would you do that?! — and yet, when the truth finally unraveled, I just sat there and thought: Yes. I understand.
Final thoughts:
Hide & Sis is a haunting tale of regret, sorrow, lies, and unconditional love — the kind that may not look like love at all, but still binds people together in ways they can’t escape.

Bonus points for the cat. Always bonus points for the cat.
This was incredibly sweet and clearly pandered to the fans of SOTUS and KristSingto.Don’t get me wrong — I loved the show and had a blast watching it. I screamed at some scenes, cried at others, and absolutely enjoyed all the hidden Easter eggs. It’s a sweet cheese fest with a pinch of angst and and some pining which is always appreciated.
But I also have to be honest with myself: the plot was… cliche.
Yeah, they deserved something more thrilling. More innovative. More shocking. I don’t know — something Emmy-worthy! You get what I mean, right? Something extraordinary. Something that says, “Yes, this is art.”
Am I being dramatic? Possibly. Do I care? Not really. Let me have my dramatic monologue.
This was super cute and delightfully silly (seriously though, who goes into the sea with an open wound? Antibiotics said “noооо”). But it was also so much fun! Just a light, fluffy romance with two main characters… and a cat.
They both healed their hearts with each other’s support, while also coming to terms with the mistakes of their past.
I liked that it started with Phi being super rough — to the point where I actually found him kind of annoying. He definitely crossed a few lines. But as it turns out, he’s just terrible at managing his emotions because he’s sad and hurt. While that doesn't excuse his behavior, it does make it understandable. maybe ... Tam, on the other hand, was insecure, a little jealous, sunshine in human form, and an absolute king of flirting. It broke my heart to see how much he had lost — and how hard he tried to protect Phi from more pain.
Together, they were tender, playful, and so easy to love for. Exactly what I want in a feel-good romcom. This was a story about second chances, emotional healing, and the kind of love that teaches you to be honest — with others, and with yourself.
The girls were tolerable — a bit annoying at times, but generally funny. I have to admit, I actually liked Kaoki, and overall, they didn't bother me like female characters sometimes tend to.
Okay, I admit it – I’m a big fan of Sosay and her vet.(=^ - ^=)
All in all, this was a great series that I would recommend to anyone who loves a good romcom and lovable MCs.
7.5 stars from me — mostly because Krist and Singto deserve so much more. (Yep… I’m totally biased.)

I found myself smiling constantly throughout this series.
Fluff, fluff, and more fluff, this story is a perfect, sweet and charming.I’m absolutely obsessed with this cute bl drama following Yoryak and Wandee as them tries to join the a real boyfriend club. The whole premise ( a fake relationship) is, of course, very theatrical but it’s such an entertaining that I don’t mind at all. This isn’t something to be taken too seriously but still has impactful moments all throughout. This balance of silly second hand embarrassment moments and serious topicswas so well done. When finishing this I was left with a warm feeling in my heart. Yoryak and Wandee ’s romance dynamic is super fun and had so many moments that had me giggling and I cry.The characters were all very like different. They have realistic flaws and worries, which makes the story and character dynamics so much more interesting, fun and touching. Despite each character’s flaws, they don’t make very stupid mistakes like we’re used to seeing in bl serials. Their actions stem from their own experiences, doubts and desires.
I needed something light and fluffy and this kind of worked.

To love and to be loved are different things.
Do you remember that song from Eurovision 2025, where the singer shared this deep life philosophy?“Life is like spaghetti —
Hard until you make it.
No stresso, no stresso,
It's gonna be espresso.”
Well, I’m pretty sure the main character of this series took that advice to heart. She made herself a double espresso macchiato and told the annoying ones dragging her down that this time, it wasn’t going to happen. Because life is too short to be poisoned by people who don’t respect you—especially when you can sip espresso in peace, surrounded by good company… and the person who takes care of your turtle.
Something like that, just with more dramatic flair and a background ballad.
First:
I haven’t seen the original, so I’m not burdened with comparisons or expectations.
Second:
It’s a series about love, friendship, and the big question:
What would you do if you had the power to go back and change the future?
That’s not to say it’s all sunshine and feel-good moments. It was sad and lonely at times, but also fun and romantic.
I really loved the two main characters.
Wataru especially stood out—he’s not a man of grand declarations, but one of quiet actions. And sometimes, that’s even more powerful. He was kind, thoughtful, a little awkward, but so genuine. He gave Misa exactly what she needed: time, space, and a safe place to find herself.
And Misa needed exactly that. To grow up, discover her strengths, and learn how to tell the difference between real friends and people who are just… there.
I liked watching Misa grow, and how her love for Wataru blossomed. She remained kind and gentle—but only to those who truly deserved it.
And most importantly, she finally learned to love and respect herself.
I also loved that the story had more going on than just romance—the workplace scenes, the meetings with friends, even her colleague’s family.
It was a soft reminder that fate doesn’t disappear—it simply changes direction.
As for the ex-girlfriend and the ex-fiancé?
They got the justice they deserved—very Korean (crossed out) Japanese drama style: quiet, graceful, and with no need for a dramatic monologue.
The new friendships reminded me that true connection is mutual. It’s built slowly, carefully, with effort from both sides. And if that effort’s missing?
That’s okay. Just walk away.
Honestly, I don’t have much bad to say about this series.
I just didn’t connect as deeply as I thought I would.
Did I like it?
Yes.
Did I love it?
Not quite.
That’s why it’s not a 10-star for me—more like a solid 8,5.
The romance was there, sure, but I wanted it to burn a little brighter. I expected more spark.
And… that’s it.
I’ll take that espresso macchiato now.
I’m not kidding

I cannot express my feelings so well,so I gave my ratings everything 10 because I think this movie is beyond perfections.The story is very meaningful so I give it a 10. It taught me many lessons about life. Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
I gave the Acting 10 because they portrayed their character really well.
10 because the music vibe fits perfectly with everything in this history. The music makes the drama even better.
For rewatch value, I gave it a 10. It’s not perfect. But there were moments where I was so captivated by the story that I actually forgot I was watching a movie. And that’s something you really don’t come across very often.

Just hear me out
Should I take the show seriously?No
I feel so conflicted. I wanted to DNF more than once because I didn’t want to give a low rating or write a bad review. But somehow, I also wanted to watching on and on. I wanted to know who the killer was. Why and how? Who and where?
Don't get me wrong. The series is neither good nor bad. It's like a pop song that I hear on the radio.I hum away with the highs and the lows tones, drum with your fingers on the steering wheel, and I forget when I get out of the car. Like many pop songs the show is nothing new. But it’s fresh, funny, and doesn't take themselves too seriously and full of еaster eggs, and it makes you feel smiling and confused.
I don’t think this series is terrible. I was watching it with a smile on my face, and I rooted for Sangthong, Maiphlong and Thongbai so much. They were three great guys. The story is interesting and held my attention. But … I think this could be a great story. But it isn’t right now. It just needs a balance between seriousness and fun. There needs to be an attention to parody and an emotional dose of humor for the formula to work successfully. A lot of topics were handled here, at times tragic and heartbreaking but with a lot of kindness, love and bammm ... unexpected humor. This doesn't work for me.
I think the pacing is medium and picks up near the end, which is where you want it.
There were some questionable details and convenient moments but I get why the story was told the way it was. It definitely helped keep the mystery going until the big reveal at the end.
And, like I said, I am conflicted, and I have no clue how to rate it.
5 star, 6 star…5,5 star

Hate it break it to you, but it’s been boring since the start.
There is no reason for this show to exist, no substance of worth, or story that is trying to be told. It’s just there for the sake of being there.While the first episode was pretty good episodes has evolved to the typical episodes of the week series where they have a random adventure, only to be followed by another random adventure the next week. Most series need a goal the characters want to reach or overcome. If there is no goal, the series becomes pretty aimless, pointless and boring. But after 10 episodes them just trying to be annoying, mean and ignorant - is just tiresome.
I'm still wondering when Liu fell so in love with Guy when they barely spent time together. She was always with Saint.
Liu and Guy always fail to understand each other. Did I want to knock some sense into both of them? Absolutely. She is naive and stupid and he is ... he is cute. Guy is quite a wilful and determined character desperate to find any semblance of love history.
And I really did not like Faye as a person at all but she makes for an incredibly compelling character. She was the beacon of everything that was wrong and bad.
I just adore Saint. He's so freaking kind and in solicitous and I loved every minute of it.
Sometimes I wish I had a friend like Ann.
It’s a boring ride to be sure.

The romance arc is great. Cute and fun.
I loved just about everything about it. I'm not even going to pretend that my favorite element wasn't Pei Zhao, cause it was! I loved his self-deprecating, way of looking at the world, very down to earth and resourceful.Pei Zhao is an awesome hero, and Su Ci is an equally awesome heroine. She is gutsy, intelligent, and sweet. She never gave me the urge to ignore her and focus on the hero because I didn't like her.
My one complaint was detective aspect. Riddles and mystery. No, no and no. They were not fully developed and were boring.
That being said, I was invested in what happened between Pei Zhao and Su Ci.
I'm glad I watched this series.

In this case I don't think the series is bad or anything like that, it just failed to grip me and I'm not theright viewer for it. I'm sure someone else would find it much more interesting. But yeah, I was just bored.
It started off pretty interesting, but I don't know, it could've been the writing styl, but it didn't keep my attention as it went on.
Everything goes to fast with no explanation for the characters motivations or why they’re doing what they’re doing. Too many characters and nonsensical plot, which plods along then goes nowhere.
I am going to miss Alan and Jeff 🩷
But will I give it another try? I'm not sure.
Either way, if you look this go right ahead, I hope you'll be the viewer who connects with this series on every level.

I don’t have anything awful to say nor anything spectacular.
Perfect 10 Liners collects 3 stories which heavily focus on Love, university and engineering. Yep. I've watched so many engineering BL shows at this point that could I get a diploma.ForceBook
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
Arc: "You entered my heart."
Arm: " You are in my heart too."
Ме: I need more football.
I enjoyed this story way more than I expected. It was funny (the trio Arm-Po-Sand ), sweet (Poon Mitpakdee), uncomplicated and at times a bit mediocre, but I didn't mind. Christmas is coming - gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate.It has some angst, but not much and most of that angst is caused by our characters. It wasn't a very deep storyline and not a whole lot happens, yet I didn't get bored. It just made me feel really happy.
YothaGun
This was such a pleasant surprise!
I loved the characters – Yotha and Gun. Yes, Gun is a very so cute here. He was the sweetest thing ever.
It takes Yotha and Gun a little time to get to their happy ending, but the way things developed between them worked for me and I enjoyed the journey. Their connection, past injuries, conversations and inside jokes made them feel so relatable. I think they are all fans of Lao Tzu and his words about love: Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
WineFaifa
The best was reserved for the last.
It's a very sweet story that builds up the relationship between its two main characters beautifully. There is nothing softer than falling in love with someone because because you share a cup of coffee and a sincere conversation.They take such good care of each other, in such wonderfully specific ways.I love how tender Fa is to Wine and how much he cares and wants to make things easier and better for him. I loved that Wine was so caring and attentive to Fa, He had such self-doubt about himself, but found a friend and boyfriend with Wine.

The physics test is not the most dangerous thing in school.
Imagine being a teenager, you want to study with your friends, but a bunch of people keep getting in your way. That’s the gist of this series in one sentence. You know what? I had the best time watching this series. It’s super fast paced and easy to understand.I will say the whole thing was a bit predictable but the whole show was so entertaining that I honestly didn’t mind. This felt very anime style and I’m here for it! The whole thing watched like you were a anime movie - funny, entertaining, absurd, touching and sometimes painful. I would hands down recommend this if you love a wacky and weird anime. It has a crazy vibe.
The series is full of action from beginning to end. It may not be entirely realistic, but it certainly is thrilling.
This is so close to being a ten star show but it fell flat in the high-tension moments. I'm sorry to say. Just a little bit more and some of the scenes could have been epic.
The other bit that I didn't love was the ending. I need more. I need a second season right now!
Тhis is a story about survival (at school), friendship, and dreams.

Practically lives from the chemistry of OhmLeng.
OK... I've sat one hour, I've cried, I've contemplated, I've stared at the wall whilst thinking until I've gotten a headache and I have come to the conclusion... that was very boring for me.Two things I really liked were OhmLeng and the orange car, and that says something, because I am generally not a person who has a thing for cars at all ... and I mean at all!
Everything starts out great. I loved how they met and that entire kidnapping idea.Then there was the relationship. Everything went so clichéd, a bit of family drama, a little police investigation, jealousy... blah blah blah. Everyone and everything was perfectly familiar. To the point of boredom. Was there a climax to this series? I must have missed it. Maybe it was the kidnapping of Q (um,again...what?)! No, no, maybe it was when Q reconciled with his father! Maybe not. The plot is so flat I couldn't tell when to peak my interest.
Story - It had potential. There were even a few parts I internally squealed at in hopeful anticipation. But whatever potential it did have was hopelessly squandered.
Acting/Cast - А slight shrug...It's the best thing about the series.
Music - Nice try, but just nothing memorable.
Rewatch Value - Never, never again.
Overall..not a great experience.

There's something rotten in Korean schools

Pyramid Game - School bullying
Study Group - School bullying
Hierarchy - School bullying
Squid Game.... Uh huh, un huh.... the beginning of everything was ... yes .... School bullying...probably
The school is dangerous. Mathematics, physics, french. Тhe french language is my mortal enemyand given the chance I would burn its grammar rules to the ground. Je suis désolé. Le français est la langue la plus romantique du monde.
Yep, yep to the series
This was a interesting, fun, a little dramatic and really enjoyed it. My highlights of the show include:
Loved you since childhood
Fabulous friends group
Treasure hunt
Characters who communicate with no manufactured drama
Romance *cough* between a history teacher and a NIS agent
School bullying
The only problem I had with this series was that I wished it was longer... but I think it was the perfect length. Nothing dragged out and nothing cut too short. An intriguing, suspenseful and full of humour, riddles and action. There were moments in the story that had me laughing out loud, and moments where I was on the edge of my seat but had an undertone of sweet.

It’s not cute love.
8.5 stars rounded up, the only reasons this isn't a solid 10 stars is there are a lot of little things that bothered me in of plot and relationship dynamics , but the rest of the series was lovely so it's ok.I honestly don’t want to share too much about this series before you look it — it’s best enjoyed knowing as little about it as possible. However, what I will say is the pacing is good, the jumpy timeline builds tension and has you at the edge of your seat, and that ending…Bitter and sweet. How you feel about it may determine your final rating too.
But yeah, apart from that...
It was a unique story but there was a missed opportunity to really make this an the best story, which somehow makes the flaws worse since I get frustrated seeing wasted opportunities.
