Good one
I watched a 2015 drama in the year 2024, so my expectations from the script were higher because I had already seen many dramas with a similar theme. However, one thing that connected me to the story was the acting of the cast, especially the child who played the role of the male protagonist's son. His performance was fantastic, fabulous, and mind-blowing. I eagerly waited for all the scenes in which he appeared.The other actors also delivered strong performances. The male protagonist's crying scenes, in particular, made me emotional; I was deeply involved in his performance.
Overall, the acting of the characters captivated me so much that the story became automatically engaging

Nice one
I didn't like the first episode because it had a kind of dull start. However, as the story progressed, it kept me captivated. I liked the relationship between the siblings on both sides, the male and female protagonists. There were a few light moments too, though the drama was a kind of melodrama. By light moments, I mean a kind of funniness in them. I liked the elder brother's role and the way he supported his younger brother. It was a good, cute, and light love story. The acting was good. Both the first and second leads were fantastic.All the songs were good. Especially, I am your boyfriend.

The series does an excellent job of addressing various social issues, illustrating the difficulties faced when starting a business, and depicting the journey of individuals, including divorcees, who strive for a second chance at life.
While I appreciated the themes presented throughout the drama, I found the ending lacking. I had hoped for a more satisfying conclusion that would resonate with the audience.

Boring
Touching You is a very boring and bland story, a complete waste of time. The plot revolves around a man who, when he touches another person's bare skin, can see their future. With this gift, he earns money to meet his basic needs. One day, he touches a girl and discovers that she is going to die. In order to save her, he disguises himself and starts working with her. Another incident occurs, and he saves her, believing nothing more would happen. With this belief, he quits his job, and they continue living their lives.
However, somehow, he touches her again and finds out that nothing changes—she still meets with an accident, which leads to her death. He then gets involved again in an attempt to save her.
This is the story. There are no emotions, and I felt no connection with either the characters or the story.

Kinda boring
*“Strobe Edge” is a high school love story. I watched this movie in 2024, though it was originally released in 2015. By the time I watched it, I had already seen many similar stories, so compared to those, this one felt a bit bland. It lacked excitement or unique twists. The movie moves at a fast pace, likely because the direction skips over trivial details and doesn’t dive deep into character development or emotional nuances.The plot revolves around a girl with unrequited love. She’s in love with a boy who already has someone else in his heart. Despite knowing this, she confesses her feelings to him, telling him that she understands he loves someone else but just wanted to express her emotions. She even says it’s okay if they remain just friends. As the story progresses, the boy becomes confused about his feelings, wavering between his current love and the girl’s confession. Without giving away any spoilers, you'll have to watch the movie to see what happens next.
Personally , I found it boring

Outstanding performance by the actors.
"Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung" is a Korean historical drama centered on the lives of historians during that time. Their primary role was to listen and record events without expressing opinions or engaging in discussions. The female protagonist is one of these historians, and throughout her journey, many secrets are revealed. She attempts to speak out against injustice but is told to remain silent, as her duty is merely to observe and document. She becomes the historian of the male protagonist, Prince Dowon. Their relationship starts with misunderstandings but gradually blossoms into love. Prince Dowon, however, is treated as insignificant by the king. Why? There is a hidden truth involving a dethroned king and the female protagonist's father, which is unveiled by the end of the drama.I must commend the acting of all the actors, from the supporting roles to the leads. I was particularly impressed by the male protagonist's acting and his ability to switch expressions so seamlessly. His performance was outstanding. The actor who portrayed the role of Eunuch also delivered an excellent performance. While the drama may not have had a power-packed storyline, the powerful performances of the cast kept it engaging and far from dull.

High school's love story
The story revolves around a boy named Mabuchi Kou and a girl named Yoshioka Futaba. They first meet by chance when she takes shelter from the rain, and this marks the beginning of their relationship. Though they attend the same school, they are not classmates.One day, Kou asks Futaba to wear their traditional dress and meet him at a specific place. She arrives as promised, but he doesn't show up, setting the stage for the unfolding story.
The female lead delivers a fabulous performance, while the male lead effectively portrays a boy who has faced many ups and downs since losing his mother, leading to a generally sad and withdrawn demeanor. However, when he’s with his classmates and involved in extracurricular activities, he shows moments of happiness, although his range of expressions is somewhat limited. Despite this, he still gives a commendable performance.
I liked the story, but it was a bit slow-paced. The pacing of the drama moves gradually, and even the love rivalry was interesting.

Poor story as well as direction .
"Lost You, Found You" is a historical drama that I believe is entirely fictional. The story revolves around two characters, Fei Fei and Gu Lin Yuan. At the beginning of the drama, they are rivals, but a secret is soon revealed, showing that they are actually lovers. Gu Lin Yuan worked for bad people to protect Fei Fei, leading both of them to face many hardships. In the end, they live happily ever after. There are many romantic scenes, likely added to appeal to viewers who enjoy intense moments. While I didn't find the story particularly compelling, the performances of the actors were good, and their chemistry kept me intrigued. The drama consists of 20 episodes, each about 10 minutes long.Was this review helpful to you?
Not happy with the ending
I didn't fully understand the ending of the drama. While I enjoyed it overall, there were too many unnecessary plot points. I kept waiting for the love story between the leads to begin, but it never truly materialized. They both cared deeply for each other, to the point where anyone could see they were in love. Despite this, neither of them ever confessed their feelings. Even at the end, he said many emotional and touching things to her, but he never once told her that he loved her. Both of them were clearly aware of their mutual feelings, yet they never expressed them openly. This left me wondering why there was no romantic or tender scene between them. Instead, much of the drama focused on him trying to find a cure for her illness. In the end, I'm not sure if I would consider it a good drama or not.Was this review helpful to you?

If you watched either the Chinese version or the Korean version then it is a time waste.
My first favorite is always the Chinese version. Furthermore, I liked the Korean version too because I ship the story. However, I didn't like the Thai version much. In terms of the story, direction, and acting, what I liked in the drama was the second lead couple, who were main leads friends and got married at the end. Overall, the drama was not good in many aspects. It seemed like the story was written in a hurry, which affected the direction and acting. As a result, the actors didn't give their best performances. I initially decided to watch the drama because I liked the male lead and was interested in the storyline, but it ended up disappointing me a lot.Was this review helpful to you?
50-50
"The Best Day of My Life", consisting of 14 episodes, each 30 minutes long, is a sweet, small, light, and cute romantic drama. Although a few middle episodes were boring, the ending was perfect. Some viewers might find the story cliché because there is nothing new in it. High school love stories like this have been made many times before. The plot revolves around a boy who has had a miserable life since childhood and a girl who becomes a bright light in his dark world. Because he is unable to express his feelings, she never realizes that he likes her, and they end up being separated for many years. When he returns, he still struggles to express his feelings, making it difficult for him to propose to her .This journey of how he proposes and how their story begins is shown in the drama.I like the male lead . I liked second leads' love story .

Kinda boring
"I decided to watch 'Run On' primarily because of the male lead, but I found that the story wasn't to my taste. Throughout the entire drama, the male lead spent a lot of time running, which aligns with the title 'Run On.' The concept was interesting, and the male lead delivered an excellent performance, conveying a wide range of emotions perfectly. However, I didn't feel a strong connection to the characters or the storyline, which made it difficult for me to fully engage with the series."Was this review helpful to you?
A good watch
"'One Spring Night' was an amazing drama—calm and composed, with a slow pace that brought out the purity of the characters' souls. The story follows a boy who became a father at a young age after his girlfriend from middle school got pregnant and left their child under his care, never to return. Despite his initial helplessness, he pulled himself together over time, fulfilling his obligations to his son and parents. He is portrayed as a generous and benevolent person. On the other side, a girl has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for around four years, largely out of a sense of duty to her parents, never prioritizing her own feelings. While she is not emotionally or romantically connected to her boyfriend, he feels the opposite. One day, she accidentally meets the young father, and these encounters happen frequently enough that they fall in love. This creates complications in her existing relationship. I felt bad for her boyfriend because he wasn't in the wrong, but it was clear that she felt insecure and uncomfortable with him, so her decision to separate was understandable. While the drama had a slow pace and was somewhat boring at times, it was still a good watch."Was this review helpful to you?
Sentimental drama
During her first relationship, I observed that she wanted to control all her boyfriend’s activities. As a result, he lied to her about being overworked when he was actually at a bar. When she found out he was going to Paris without informing her, she created a scene. While it was wrong of him not to tell her about the trip—anyone in her place would have been angry—she should have listened when he said he had a solution. Her brother communicated with him in a calm and composed manner, showing a different approach.Although her questioning of his activities was justified, the manner in which she did it was problematic and came across as overly possessive. Despite her behavior, he tried his best not to lose her. He struggled in France to get permanent residence, and when she came to visit him, he was over the moon. However, after seeing his office circle and social group, she felt ambivalent about her feelings, as if something was eating her up inside.Her brother was a very understanding character and tried to encourage both of them to compromise. However, both were focused on their career goals and unwilling to back down.
In hindsight, it seems they started their relationship in haste and became deeply involved with each other, leading to emotional challenges for both.She made a unilateral decision to leave him, return to Beijing, and cut off all communication. She stopped receiving his calls, stopped replying to his messages, and messed up the room he rented. Silently freaking out, she caused him immense distress with her avoidance. I believe she was wrong in how she handled the situation.Since then, she has never talked to him, moved on, and started a new life.
To broaden her horizons, she went to Shanghai. Two years have passed, and she has taken admission to an art college in Shanghai, applying to the psychology department.From the day she started her new life, a boy who was also studying at her college began following her—not with any wrong intentions, but because he was genuinely interested in her and was looking for the right occasion to start a conversation. Gradually, they started their relationship.After spending a few months with this new boy, she married him and was living a happy life. However, her husband's nature, which seemed meticulous, innocent, silent, helpful, kind, and honest before marriage, began to change after they wed. His true colors started showing—he became over-possessive, and if others did not understand him, he perceived them as insulting him and not respecting his decisions. This led to bitterness in their married life. Despite this, she tried her best to understand him and address his thoughts and concerns, showing a significant change in her approach compared to her previous relationship.
To make matters worse, his mother constantly spoke against his wife and interfered excessively in their lives. Despite this, Rose, for the sake of her marriage, endured all the negativity and tried to maintain peace in her married life.Then they had a daughter, and everything seemed to be going great until she had an interview for a job. Due to her pregnancy, her husband made her quit her job. He didn't like her working and always wanted a housewife, displaying small-minded and immature thinking. He started tracking her every activity and wanted to control her life, which ultimately led to her decision to divorce him. She took the right step to regain control of her life.
The one who played the role of her husband is one of my favorite actors, and seeing him portray an arrogant, over-possessive, and obsessed husband felt disheartening. His character's actions were wrong, and it was difficult to see bad things happening to him.
One year passed after their divorce, and her ex-boyfriend started seeing her again. However, she saw him only as a friend. Despite their past and his renewed interest, her feelings for him had changed, and she maintained a platonic relationship with him.
At the same time, a new man entered her life—a musician, singer, and composer. She felt a connection with him because he gave her art a new meaning. His passion for music and art resonated deeply with her, and she found herself falling in love with him. This new relationship brought a sense of fulfillment and joy that she had not experienced before, helping her move forward in her life with renewed purpose and happiness.After so many hardships, she finally saw hope in someone. Unfortunately, it was the calm before the storm. The man who entered her life after her divorce died unexpectedly. This loss was devastating, but time made her strong.
She started living life to the fullest for the sake of her daughter, finding strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
My favorite character in the drama is her brother. He is such an understanding person. He took every step cautiously and always listened to his partner. He never let go of his relationship, tightly holding onto it. He cleared all misunderstandings and, though he sometimes hid things from his partner, he never lied to her. He proved to be the best husband, best son, best son-in-law, and best father.

Watch with patience
"For me, 'The Double' was the most anticipated drama after watching some of its clips. I was especially excited because of the first male lead, whose previous dramas I have enjoyed."Though he is the male lead, he had less screen time compared to the female lead. The story primarily revolved around her, with his character appearing mostly when she was in trouble."
I eagerly awaited to see their chemistry, but their story developed at a slower pace. They expressed their feelings in indirect ways, which I found refreshing for the first time."
I also appreciated the acting of her ex-husband and the princess, who was obsessed with him."
The Double' had a unique story, with characters cautiously revealing the truth. At some points, it lost its charm and felt a bit boring, but the plot twists kept the viewers' attention, which was the beauty of the story.
