Aah... communication in Japanese BLs... still only my wishful thinking. For me it had too many episodes, it could've easily ended wit 7-8 eps, without too much dragging, the leads didn't have much progress during the first 9 episodes, because of the huge misunderstanding on Yuki's part and Asami's silence. I wasn't expecting much from this and I didn't get much out of it. The actors were okay, although they were a bit too stiff for me at times. It had nice moments, but there are far better BLs than this one, a shaky 6/10 from me ~
This was cute, nothing original, since there are lots of Japanese BLs about living together. Ryota was too hesitant with everything, but this was still a nice watch, I can't rate it very high, but not too low either, about 6,5 seems right. The two friends who played supporting characters and the sisters were great, from the leads Sato Ryuga was better.
Aaah, this had so much potential! It had an amazing start, I usually wait for dramas to be completely aired or almost, but here I couldn't wait and I started it when half of the drama was out. The first 7-8 episodes were great, then eps 9 and 10 were okay, but the last two... I don't want to say they ruined the drama, but Joe acted out of character at times and not everybody deserves a happy ending, some people truly do deserve a second chance, while some don't and not everybody knows how to make the best out of such an opportunity. Poom and Up were wonderful, both at their chemistry and at portraying their characters, so I hope we'll get to see them together again in the future. It's been a while since I've been so invested in a drama, anxiously waiting for a new ep every week. Although the last few episodes didn't live up to my expectations, this will remain special for me. It could've been much better towards the end, but thanks to the actors, I'll still give it 8/10 ~
Lee Dohyun is one of my favourite actors and I really like Kim Goeun, but Choi Minshik stole the show for me. I liked the concept of the movie, it was unique, I am familiar with Korea's traditions and folk tales, so this was interesting, no wonder it was such a big hit in Korea. However, I kind of expected more or something different, it was a good movie, but something was lacking. A 7/10 from me ~
There are tons of positive comments about JCW and this role was a nice change from him, but Wi Ha Joon was brilliant…
Joonmo definitely lost much more than he earned - he lost a wife, a colleague, a friend and even himself. He gave Kichul and Haeryeon a chance, only one of them took it. Kichul's end was a tragic one, but it was the best way to end his path, a normal life as he wished... would've been simply impossible. The drama doesn't have a happy ending, but I don't consider it a sad one either.
There are tons of positive comments about JCW and this role was a nice change from him, but Wi Ha Joon was brilliant as well, the supporting cast also had a great contribution. The drama is a heavy one and it's definitely not for everyone, but I believe it had a realistic approach to how things were probaby back then and come on, gangs in the 90s, it can't be pretty, it would be bloody, messy, filled with tons of crime. I must say I enjoyed the ending as it was, the last episode felt a bit rushed though, especially towards the end, 20-30 minutes more would've been good. It's not a perfect piece, but a lot of effot was put into this drama, so an 8/10 from me ~
I still wonder if Tong is secretly in love with Ming, but married May because he wanted to secure his future or if he's so against Joe, because of his complex when it comes to acting and his greed to be on top with nobody in his way or simply... both.
I've wanted to watch this movie ever since it came out, but I wasn't able to, now that I finally did... I think I expected more. I really like Youjung as an actress, I've been following her works for over 10 years, but here... she didn't do that well, especially in the emotional scenes and I even found her annoying at times. Byeon Woo Seok's acting was weak too, after seeing him in Lovely Runner, he definitely has improved a lot and did so much better in the drama! The movie itself is similar to both Lovely Runner and Soulmate, I knew what to expect from the ending, so that didn't ruin the movie for me and I really enjoy the 90s settings. I think my expectations were too high, but I still enjoyed this to a certain level, so a shaky 7,5/10 from me, it could've been much better.
Not the best time travel drama I've seen, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The actors did an amazing job (including…
1. In episode 1 did Sunjae really commit suicide or was he killed? The doorbell was ringing back then too, but they never showed or clarified what had happened. He did seem depressed back then and seemed to be in a very bad relationship with his band members, so... 2. After she saved Sunjae the last time, did Sol go back right away or did she live in the past for some time? She did say 'It's been a few seasons since I came back', so I guess that answers my question, but I'm still not very sure. 3. In the latest timeline, is Sunjae part of Eclipse? They talked about concerts, but then again it seemed like he wasn't part of the band, I'm kinda torn there... 4. The grandma... she kept mentioning her husband, what if before Sol, she's the one who used a watch to go back many times to save the love of her life? Although, she often wasn't in her right mind, when she seemed okay, she knew about Sol's travels, she's the one who kept the watch safe for her and then threw it in the water when it was no longer needed. As she said... even if the mind forgets, the heart remembers.
Not the best time travel drama I've seen, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The actors did an amazing job (including the supporting cast, of course), I'm so glad that now people are finally paying attention to Wooseok. Ryu Sunjae is not a green flag, he's a whole walking forest. The comedy elements were done well and the chemistry was chemistrying, Wooseok and his heart eyes, he looks very fond of Hyeyoon. So naturally, Sol and Sunjae turned into one of my fav drama couples. It's a heartwarming and cute drama, it doesn't have to be liked by everyone, people have different tastes after all. It somehow gave me nostalgic feelings, the filming locations were pretty and the OST was very solid. It's also a drama, which once again reminds us that every choice in life matters. Sometimes we make decisions, which don't make sense to other people, but to ourselves, they are what feels right. There are a few things, which stayed unanswered for me until the end though...
This had so much potential! The first few episodes were great, then I kind of started losing interest. I wasn't intriguied by the second couple, I just didn't feel the chemistry and their story. However, Balg Geum is definitely my favoruite character, he stole the show. The main couple was cute, their story was also shaky at times and the drama as a whole has some plot holes and stuff... I just wished and expected more. It wasn't bad, but there are far better K-BLs than this one. A hopeful 7/10 from me ~
I had no expectations of this movie prior watching it, so I wasn't disappointed by it. Some things were a bit too dramatic for my taste, but overall it wasn't bad. Finally, a different role from Song Joonki and Choi Sung Eun is amazing as always. I see that some people are complaining about the romance part and how it wasn't explored enough, but the movie was fine that way, after all it's about Kiwan and his difficult life, so there was no need for the main focus to be on him and Marie. A hopeful 7/10 from me ~
Aaah... I have such mixed feelings over this drama. It is overrated for sure, but Kim Soohyun Kim Jiwon were simply outstanding! The way they delivered emotions - both happy and sad, the falling in and out of love, they were amazing! The filming locations, the cinematography, the OST as well as the other actors - all great. BUT... the plot was weak and nothing new, especially when it came to the company stuff. Park Jieun really threw in everything she had up her sleeve, but I'm not saying it in a good way. Some things were too dramatic, while some didn't make sense at all. I love how the relationship between the two familes developed, as well as Haein and Hyunwoo's love story, but the drama could've been better. I don't think Lee Joobin is a main character though, even aunt Bookja (what an MVP) had more screen time than her. I totally don't regret watching the drama, it was beautiful and it had important messages along the way, but it's surely not for everyone. It has its good and bad sides. An 8/10 from me, mainly because of the hard work of the actors.

He will play as Yoo Seung Ho's boyfriend in the Korean adaptation of Tony Kushner's Angels in America.
