This was ok. Yep. That about sums it up.
I can't say I didn't like this story because I did to some level.And I managed to get to the last episode. Well, yes—with the help of popcorn, which I could throw at the screen whenever one of the characters made me angry. Don’t get me wrong, in theory, this was an excellent series. It had all the elements of a good show- a interesting plot, a likable characters, a compelling romance; but in reality it really dragged for me and I can't quite put my finger on why. I would say this was more of an romance sparkled with some a little action.OK
This started off very strong. I was pretty much instantly charmed by the main characters and there were so many things I really enjoyed about. And then something happened...and trust that no one is surprised more than me. I was bored. I am in shock. What did everyone else discover that I missed? Yes. There were cute bits, and funny bits, and emotional bits, but something just didn’t totally click for me. The problem is not with "The Heart Killers", It is with me. So give it a chance, because it might be your cup of tea.

Shelved as did-not-finish.
I’m sorry. But I just can’t with this. I can’t. I can’t deal.If I had a coin for every time I wanted to DNF this series I'd have a thousand coins in my jar! Needless to say I didn't like it at all.
I really cannot relate. It didn't grab me like I expected.
What I liked:
It' was a good concept. The darklyaspect. The first episode was well done, I was hooked and I was intrigued. The characters were fun + the overall vibe was mystery.
However there were some things that just did not work out.
The story overall was very slow, boring and confusing.
Story started to lose itself in the first half everything got so messy and the thing just lost their charm which overall dulled my experience.
The characters and their back and forth with the settings proved to be more of an hindrance. I tried to like Khen and Mas but all the attachment that I felt to them and the story vanished into thin air.
Overall, it may work for some of you but it definitely was not for me.

Everyone’s got a price.
Yes—everything has a price, so be careful what you wish for.If this is your first time watching something in this genre, chances are you’ll like it. It’s bloody, disgusting, sad, and oddly charming.
But if you’ve seen more than a few similar stories… you’re probably already tired of the same formula: a group of students gets involved in something unknown, which eventually turns into a curse (zombies, monsters, krakens—whatever the screenwriter chooses), and they have to fight for their lives with everything they’ve got. This show is exactly that—nothing more, but nothing less.
The story had a good premise. After all, who isn’t at least a little afraid of an app you can’t delete—one that leads to death? I watched the first episode and thought, “Oh, this is good!” But then something went wrong, and it became… let’s say boring. Bloody, but boring. It doesn’t make you wonder what’s behind the closed door or the flowing curtains.
Furthermore, the characters are one-dimensional, the situations they find themselves in are predictable, and the dialogue feels unnatural. There’s nothing to challenge your brain—no complex situations to unravel, no sense of mystery about where it’s all heading. Just a growing impatience to reach the end so you can move on to something more worthwhile.
I didn’t like it, I didn’t hate it—it just didn’t hit home for me.

Whoever my opposite soul twin is, this show was absolutely meant for them.
Phopthorn unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Apo, who is chaotic and hopelessly in love with Suriya. What starts as a sham-marriage plan somehow turns into a low-stakes romance. Sounds fun, right? I thought so too.I went in expecting a silly, goofy, shenanigan-filled good time. And while it tried its best, the entertainment value was… let’s say politely modest.
Okay, first of all, I’m sorry. My previous show was amazing, and I fear this one had the misfortune of following it. So really, there’s nothing terribly wrong with this series. It’s just that nothing about it felt groundbreaking or new. It’s the narrative equivalent of déjà vu: familiar, harmless, and not particularly memorable. It was okay—perfectly okay—and unfortunately, that was also the problem.
I did find it sweet, truly, but I kept waiting for something—anything—to happen outside of the romance. I waited… and waited… … and waiting.
I knew it would be low stakes, but I wasn’t prepared for how shallow some of the characters felt. A few were delightfully silly, some were mildly annoying, and others lived in a dimension where realism clearly took a sabbatical. I wasn’t sure whether to take the story seriously or not, but then the occasional serious moments and emotions tried to ground the series in a bit of reality—for better or for worse
That said, I did enjoy the romance between Apo and Suriya—they were so sweet I practically got cavities from it. Tailah and Janjak were charming additions and kept things lively, but I needed just a little more conflict and a bit more spark.
If you’re looking for a romance with low stakes, low tension, and a gentle, cozy vibe, this might be exactly what you need!

Liked it.. did not love it.
It was a meet-cute story that started out strong but became a little predictable.I needed something fluffy, and this kind of worked. The characters are nice, some moments are cute and fun, and I liked everything related to food and JJ&Methas.
As a romance, this didn't really work for me. The relationship between Oab and Plawan is very rushed and feels lukewarm, all sweetness, passionate and no depth. The drama near the end is a bit .... ugh. I mean, I get it. It's important. But it felt so predictable.
Loved the secondary characters.
One man so used to being alone and another whose chosen to to heal and help. And, now they might just find out they're exactly what one another needs. JJ truly is such an adorable and amazing character.
I liked how he really saw Methas. He saw past the facade and saw a man who wanted to prove and who is afraid. Love him so much together with Methas. OK... I know I'm biased.
It was easy, it was fun, it was very sexy. So, while this story and I were not really a match, I can totally get why people dive into it.

This drama didn't start out terribly.
I will be very briefI.I feel so conflicted about The Princess Royal. It was like I was playing out my own version of the love/hate game with the series while watching it.
Plot: this did not go where I thought it would! This drama is the absolutely quintessential enemies-to-lovers trope ! With polar opposite protagonists,none tension, and a mix of political and social games.This is a romance.It's no spoiler that things DO change between them. Love and hate are a fine line, after all.
It started off pretty interesting, but I don't know ... Pacing could've been optimized.
Characters: smart, annoying, arrogant, condescending and more. And I like them for it, because they're people.Not all, but most.
I am leaning toward a higher score because for all the issues I had with the drama at times, it was engaging and cute.

A boy with unresolved daddy issues and a guy with the emotional availability of a puppy.
Yeah.Made in BL heaven.
Clearly.
It’s one of those series that tricks you into thinking it’s okay—because you’re too busy sighing and too annoyed to leave. But once the distraction wears off, it’s all downhill from there.
Let’s start with the positives. Not many, but they do exist. The chemistry between the actors is great. The music is great. And… that’s probably it.
There are so many issues I had with this one. The first is that the characters are incredibly bland, with no defining traits that make them memorable. Pheem is manipulative and driven by revenge, and Than is… I honestly don’t know what he is. He’s just the former police officer who somehow becomes the only person capable of forgiving Pheem. Forgiving him everything. Absolutely everything.
Jet is annoyingly spoiled, and most of the time I just wanted him to stop talking.
Risa is… well, if she were a boy, she’d be their father’s true heir, and that’s the whole problem.
Thanet will never win Father of the Year, but I don’t think he ever aimed for it.
I understand why they are the way they are, but at some point, it becomes too much.
The plot was very… very… I don’t even know. It was screaming lakorn the entire time.
I liked the idea of “getting revenge at any cost,” but the execution fell short. It had the potential to be good, but there really wasn’t much substance to this series. If you asked me what the plot actually was, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. There’s a bit of everything—revenge, romance, corruption, a dysfunctional family, rivalry, characters who desperately need therapy… and on and on and on.
It’s just not for me, and it turned out to be extremely difficult to write a summary for a series I thought I liked.
In short: overall, the series was okay, but it definitely had problems. I liked the premise, but the execution lacked. Pheem and Than had some adorable moments, but the show just wasn’t for me. It was fast-paced, and I think others might enjoy it more than I did.

Not much to say about this one.
My Romance Scammer feels exactly like a Hallmark movie — cutesy, funny, super cheesy, and very much a classic rom-com. It’s the story of two men who fell in love, lied to each other, messed everything up… and somehow found their way back for a second chance. The second couple follows almost the exact same pattern, just at a quicker pace. That’s pretty much it.On the surface, I really enjoyed it. The main characters are incredibly charming and endearing, and the supporting cast is just as adorable. I completely switched my brain off, embraced the rom-com vibes, and let myself enjoy the warm, fuzzy ride. The series is great at delivering feel-good moments, which makes it very easy to forgive its flaws. You just have to accept that this is pure BL heaven — where every problem gets solved quickly, easily, and with almost zero consequences.
That said, if you look a little closer, the central premise is shaky, the character development doesn’t always make sense, the pacing drags in places, and the music is pretty average. What saves it are the lovely acting and the extremely likeable characters.
Still… my heart says it was ridiculously sweet. Because of that, I’m rounding my 6.5 up to a 7.
Overall, it’s a light, fluffy series that will really hit the spot for a lot of people. Just put on your rose-colored glasses, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the cheese.

I've been ugly crying since the last episode of the series.
Right now I’m sitting with a cup of coffee, puffy eyes, and unsuccessfully trying to find a way to describe this drama without spoilers. I usually have plenty to say, but this time I realized there’s no surefire way to talk about it.It’s so simple and complex at the same time. It’s a story that makes you think about the value of time and the profound impact one person can have on another. That pretty much sums up the entire series.
I really liked the way it was filmed. The series gives us snapshots of Narutaki Ryu’s and Hwang Jo Han’s lives — like flipping through a stack of old photos, just quick flashes of particular moments. I think it was a very smart approach for a story that spans ten years. We don’t need to see every single event to understand what they’re going through.
I loved the characters, because this isn’t just a story about their feelings, desires, and passions. No — it’s about choices, dignity, and how deeply someone can leave a mark on your soul. Don’t be fooled by the summary or your expectations: this is not a love story. It’s about two people who meet at the most difficult moments in their lives and continue walking through life together without putting a label or frame on their relationship.
As for the music, I really wanted it to be more memorable. It worked well enough as background, but I hoped for something stronger.
In the end, this show deeply affected me. I had knots in my stomach for most of it, and after finishing it this morning, I could do nothing but stare at the ceiling, absorbing everything I had just watched.
For me, that’s the sign of a truly wonderful series — one that reaches into your soul, touches your heart, and actually makes you feel.

Tenderly...He is devoured.
This is a story about accepting the darkest and sad, angriest parts of yourself and allowing another person to love you in your entirety.or
Being a actor means adventure, action, worry and protecting of love.
maybe
This passionate and stormy story is about making space for your true self, finding the man that feels right for you, and building trust in yourself and you love.
It could be more.Or it could be more complicated. It may not mean anything.
1 sentence summary: Jin admires Akin greatly and is in love with him, but after a some errors, will Akin be able to find their way again?
My thoughts: This was so charmingly. I did not expect that. Honestly. It has everything - romance, sex trust, mistrust, apprehension, and fear. It's so spicy and cute. At the same time it was fun to watch...and sad. I don't remember crying so much while watching the anime.
Overall, this really was the great rivals to lovers story. I loved the rep, I loved the plot, I loved the music, I love the banter, and I truly love both of these main characters so very much.
And if I haven’t already sold you ... this is also just sexy story about two young artists learning who they want to be, both separately and together.
Also, I’m totally buying mints candy on the way home tomorrow, because I has such a craving.

I don’t know.
So here’s the deal: I think I might be a little too generous with my rating because, honestly, nothing about this show really wowed me. I guess I can partly blame One Piece—I had so much fun with the second season that when I came back to this series, everything felt different… okay, not terrible, but definitely not fresh or exciting either. The plot was also super predictable. I could see where it was going 100% of the time, so there were zero surprises.The beginning episodes were very intriguing and fascinating. The winter setting was beautiful, and Fan Chang Yu’s work stood in stark contrast to her delicate exterior, which made her really fun to watch.
However, despite the strong start, the series struggled to keep my full attention.
Xie Zheng, also known as the Marquis of Wu’an, follows the cliché of the brooding, strong, and well-known hero we’ve seen countless times before. At first, I thought he might develop into an interesting character, but I quickly realized he was just another version of the same stereotype.
Fan Chang Yu is brave, strong, and completely focused on her mission, which I respect. She doesn’t waste time getting sidetracked, and I liked that she follows through on everything she sets out to do instead of getting caught up in unnecessary drama. Still, the romance was just… meh.
The side characters also lacked depth, which made it difficult to form any lasting connection with them. In fact, this was an issue with all of the relationships in the show—they felt surface-level and rushed. Because of this, when certain tragic moments occurred, they simply lacked emotional impact. I hadn’t connected with any of the characters, so I just didn’t care.
I think this series just isn’t for me at this point. And while I’m mildly curious about how the story continues, I’m not sure if I’ll keep watching it all the way to the end.
Finally, I realized that is not for me…

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

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!

Pleasant low angst office romance.
Hehhh. I'm torn now. I eyerolled so much while watching this series that I may have permanently damaged at least some of my cranial nerves. And yet I watched it in one sitting, annoyingly(Ba-Mhee&Tae&Judy), romantic (Ryan&Jane) and inexplicably entertained. Go figure.I liked Ryan and Jane a lot. The way their relationship develops is exactly what I love in stories like this one. They are incredibly sweet and tender with each other. The moments between them were my favourite part of the story. Jane was my favorite. God I loved him! He is a sweet mix of confident and vulnerable.
The love triangle - no, no, no
It was meant to be intense and heart-wrenching, but I felt nothing other than pure annoyance. I wanted Ba-Mhee to just shut up.
There was some very good stuff, but there was some stuff that wasn’t for me that detracted from my enjoyment.
Overall sweet, light and funny.

Historical, Romance, Fantasy? All three genres fit this series perfectly.
If you like stories like this, you won’t find anything particularly new here. It’s the same old tale that’s been rehashed a million times. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy a familiar story done well.This was actually a very pleasant, beautifully shot, and emotional series that kept me hooked enough to look forward to a new episode every week. The pacing is solid, even though it slows down a little after the midpoint. The characters are easy to like or dislike, depending on the situation.
As a romance, it was mild, incredibly cute, and charming. I genuinely felt that the love between Phop and Klao was real and deep. You could see their feelings in the way they looked at each other, how they talked, how they touched, and how they cared. The teasing, the sweet moments, and the times they showed vulnerability were absolutely adorable. I was really grateful that the story didn’t rely on over-the-top drama to prove their love.
Seeing them reconnect was delightful.
And can we talk about the side characters? Kaew and Jom were the cutest! It was a bit frustrating at times because they just needed to sit down and talk, but I loved how everything turned out perfectly in the end.
Romance aside, I really loved this show for the friendships and the overall warm vibe.
As a fantasy (time travel) story, I understand how difficult it is to do something truly fresh in this genre — and that wasn’t really the main goal here. What mattered more was why he ended up in the past and what he needed to do to find his way back. That emotional core was handled nicely.
As a historical drama, it captured the atmosphere beautifully. It gave me enough detail to imagine the world and how people lived at the time.
Overall, I had a lot of fun watching it. It’s a really good series. My only small complaint is that the miscommunication was dragged out until the very end, and I wish I could have enjoyed their time together in the present a bit more.
