It is not a mature one

Kids would enjoy this drama more. At the start, the drama introduces a girl who is strong, and people around her are either amazed or shocked by her strength. However, she doesn’t consider herself beautiful and often compares herself to others because she has marks on her face.

She falls in love with a boy but doesn’t know how to behave around him. So, she takes advice from her friends and follows whatever they suggest. Unfortunately, this leads to misunderstandings. The boy thinks she is trying to overpower him with her strength, while she assumes he finds her unattractive.

As they grow up, their misunderstandings persist. Every time they communicate, she misinterprets his words and wishes to look prettier. This is where the bracelet ,a filter come into the story.

I liked the love story and all the characters, especially the female lead’s mother, father, sister, and friend. I also enjoyed the chemistry between the second leads.

Previously, I mentioned that kids would enjoy this drama more. However, since it is rated for ages 15 and above due to kissing scenes, it may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Bare to handle the sad ending,then go for it.

There is little impact in the story. The male protagonist discovers that he is going to die due to a genetic disease, so he embarks on a journey to find his biological father. He takes the female protagonist, who is also his ex, along with him, but the reason for this is unclear, even to him. Despite a long search, he fails to find his father. However, during this journey, they both fall in love with each other once again. The story also explores how the female protagonist copes with the truth of his impending death and how he eventually learns about his father. Despite the lack of a powerful script, the actors and direction make the drama impactful. The show captivates the audience with its gripping openings and endings in each episode. Out of curiosity, I watched it all in one go.

I will praise all the songs. they were all too good .

Still I prefer Chinese as well as korean version

I watched all the version of this story except Taiwanese. My first one was Boys over flower and I liked it the most but when I saw Meteor garden I liked it in the same way.
Meteor garden had the same theme of the story but they presented it in a very different way . I felt after watching it that something is missing in Boys over flower which this story had fulfilled . Actually I always wanted to see female lead's friend love story should had a good ending which had shown by Meteor garden.
One more thing I always wanted to see that 2nd male lead also has love partner with the ending of the story. I hope if somebody make the drama once again . That drama has a love story of all F4s .
About this drama as it had less episodes as compared to other version so naturally many scenes which they think were unimportant had not shown that is okay but still I felt many things were missing or I expect more from this drama . That's why I don't like it . I didn't like the acting of female lead ,second one was better than her . The one who played the character of hers friend. Sometime I felt the first male lead was doing overacting. That also spoiled the mood to watch the drama . The only reason I continued to watch this drama because I like the story and what I expect from other versions which had not shown I expect that I would see in this drama but nothing had happened .

About acting except few actors everyone did a great job

I don't like it.

In Between is an immature, greedy, deceitful, love-and-hatred–based drama. It revolves around two women who are struggling with their fate. Both of them are in relationships.

One girl is in a relationship with an immature man. He does not know how to balance his personal and professional life. He is too absorbed in his work and hardly thinks about his girlfriend. They are in a long-distance relationship and mostly communicate through calls and messages. She often reminisces about their past—how they met and how much he once cared for her. Whenever she remembers those moments, she cries a lot, yet she continues the relationship. However, at a certain point, their bond weakens, and one day they break up.

Meanwhile, the other girl lives with her boyfriend in a live-in relationship. She is a successful woman in the corporate world and is ambitious to climb the career ladder. At the same time, she is serious and honest about her relationship and truly loves him. One day, she gets an opportunity that requires her to go abroad. When she informs him, he tells her to go ahead. However, at the airport, he is unsure whether he wants to continue the relationship, while she believes that their bond is still strong.

This is how both girls’ love stories begin and eventually fall apart. Later, both of them are betrayed by the same man, after which they slowly gather themselves, move on, and recover from their deceitful relationships.

Personally, I did not like the drama because it was overly emotional and sentimental. Many times, I felt irritated watching how the girls were repeatedly fooled by the man. Even during the confrontation, neither of them showed enough anger or resentment. If I were in their place, I would have slapped him and exposed his true colours in front of his fiancée.
The acting was good, but there were hardly any happy moments in the drama. It is simply not my kind of show.

Good one

The Haunted Palace is a story about spirits’ resentment and vengeance. In the middle of the story, a serpent deity and a shaman become entangled. Together, they eliminate the spirits.
The serpent wants to ascend to heaven, for which he needs the body of a pure soul—one that willingly accepts him. However, the person is not ready for this and fights against him. That person is the shaman.
In the end, they fall in love with each other and live a happy married life.
As for the acting, the male lead gave a fantastic performance, especially when he portrayed two souls in one body. The actor who played the role of the king also acted very well. Praising them does not mean that the other actors were not good; all of them delivered strong performances.

Go fo it.

Moon River is essentially a love story. The crown prince is deeply in love with his princess. However, due to vengeance, hatred, conspiracies, and the wrongful actions of his elders, they are separated. But true love does not care about such obstacles. After confronting many hardships and enduring immense suffering, they finally live happily ever after.
The story itself is average, but the performances are top-notch—especially Kang Tae-oh as Crown Prince Yi Gang. His acting won my heart. The way he switches his expressions from humorous to serious is amazing. At times, he appears arrogant, but in reality, he is not. He portrays a prince who is trapped in the middle of conspiracies and cruelty—fully aware of everything yet completely helpless.
I loved his performance. Whenever his character cried, it connected me deeply to him. He is truly a hidden gem in the Korean entertainment industry.
As for Kim Se-jeong, she was good as always. Lee Shin-young, who played the crown prince’s brother, delivered a fantastic performance with emotionally intense scenes. There were also other supporting characters whose acting should not be overlooked—especially the crown prince’s attendant, O Sin-won, and the eunuch who always stayed by his side. Overall, all the supporting actors and actresses performed admirably.

“Sword and Beloved” is the story of a boy who grows up resented by his father. He lives a very quiet life and sometimes helps the needy in disguise. His life changes when a girl enters his life, and many secrets are revealed. Throughout his journey, he meets wonderful people, fights against injustice, confronts evil, and eventually wins.
This is the story.

What I felt missing in the drama was the romantic chemistry between the main leads, which I waited for until the last episode. Although I enjoyed watching the chemistry between Chang Hua Sen and Zhang Kai Ying, and one more love story was there but their love story was also incomplete.
I liked Wang Hong Yi’s performance too—he was very good at expressing all kinds of emotions. I hope he gets a main role in a drama someday.

Now, my views about the drama: I was really not into it. Maybe the story was too long, had some unnecessary scenes, and yes, it was devoid of a proper lead love story.

Imperfection

Beyond the Loop is a story about getting a second chance to change the future. In the drama, the protagonists met a tragic end, but they were reborn to undo the wrong events that had happened to them. The concept was good, but the execution was poor. The characters performed very well, especially the male protagonist. I liked all the expressions he showed according to each situation.

Bored

“Dear Hongrang” was one of the most anticipated dramas for me, mainly because of Lee Jae Wook. However, it didn’t quite meet my expectations.

The story revolves around a sister searching for her missing brother. An imposter enters her life, pretending to be the lost brother—but she knows he is not. Despite that, his kind nature draws her in, and she eventually falls in love with him. As more hidden truths are unveiled, their lives are turned upside down, leading to a tragic end.

I didn’t enjoy the drama much due to the presence of the psychotic king and the painful truth behind the male protagonist. It was heartbreaking to see how brutally the king used him, which ultimately led to his tragic ending.

I also liked Jung Ga Ram. His character suffered a lot and never truly lived a fulfilling life.

Overall, the story felt too harsh and filled with negativity, which didn’t align with my tast

Personally, I didn't like the story of Buried Hearts. Although the first few episodes were quite engaging, I didn’t find anything interesting in the rest of the drama. However, I must say that despite the unremarkable storyline, the only reason I completed it was because of the male lead. His acting was simply top-notch.

Not for me

Always Home" was an average drama for me, as I’ve already watched many school and college-based dramas. So, I didn’t find anything new in it — the same struggles with studies, trying hard to prove oneself to parents, fighting for their dreams, and themes of love and jealousy.
I would recommend this drama to college-going students, as they might connect with it more.
Other than that, I appreciated the performances of the actors and actresses, including those who played the roles of parents and teachers."

A lightweight drama

As I mentioned earlier, it is a lightweight drama. As already stated in the synopsis, it tells the story of a girl who is forcefully bound in marriage.

Lu Ran is the girl who was forced to get married. She ran away from her wedding, but on the way, she was kidnapped. She discovered that many other children were also kidnapped. Somehow, she managed to escape along with a young girl. After ensuring the girl reached her home safely, she was shocked to learn that this was the family she was supposed to marry into.

She apologized to the family. Due to some circumstances, she had to stay there. Her husband by name (a title-only husband) helped her with her studies, and in return, she helped him take care of his family and business. And that’s how their love story began.

The drama portrays a lower-middle-class family that doesn’t wish for much in life. I liked their daughter too—she was very cute.

For me, the drama deserves a pass.

“The Tale of Lady Ok” has a unique storyline. This drama portrays the lives of servants in prehistoric times. Some of their masters are cruel and believe that servants are their property, giving them the right to do whatever they wish. The female protagonist stands against this injustice, showing courage and resilience.

Because of her resistance, she faced humiliation, but some kind and genuine people around her helped her throughout her journey. The male protagonist gave a powerful performance. The actor who played her brother-in-law also did an excellent job—his support for her won my heart, and he was quite adorable too. I felt bad for her ex-husband, but the story provided a justified ending for both her ex and present husband. Many characters performed brilliantly.

Emotional

The drama is highly emotional; however, the chemistry between the leads made it watchable. Their love story and his dedication while chasing her showed unconditional love. A good one!

I liked the second leads too. The drama also highlights the injustice faced by girls who are already struggling to find their way. Some get justice, while others do not. It also explores how people around them react—some are selfish, some are controlled by powerful influences, and some choose to stay out of the mess and refuse to help.

Despite all this, some girls refuse to give up and continue to fight for their rights. The drama also beautifully portrays how true love never lets go of its partner’s hand.
