The boy who Lingered a bit to long in the air

This is one of those dramas that had me wondering what is it I am missing here... Why are people rating this with a 10 star rating when literally nothing what so ever makes sense. As I spent half the drama wondering when the leads will get shot with a shot gun and if they have any type of risk assessment skills what so ever... Or I don´t know awareness of the time they lived in, as both leads in 1928 acted as if it was 2028... The acting is 1/2 cringe 1/2 decent. The pacing is off and it feels like they filmed half of the drama in slow motion just so they could stretch the time and get more for their money... making it draggy as ****

But if you can look passed that, the romance is decent, the skinship pretty and both boys had indeed worked quite a bit on their upper bodies whom they show us more or less every episode or so...The side stories of the lesbian couple, the house slaves/staff and the second wife are a lot more interesting than the time traveling dude.

There is also a really cute pig in this. Not really a drama I recommend, but it did have it's moments and apparently others call it a masterpiece so if you do not mind the cons I mentioned go for it... I hope you have a better time than I did.

Not sure about an 8th sense, or making a lot of sense but it did involve a whole lot of senses...

This drama has a pretty good story, it is complicated, but not to complicated and kept me interested from start to finish. Part of me wanted to rate this higher as while I do get a lot of my beloved cliches there is also some originality and I guess an authentic feel to the story. There is however also a lot of cringe and forced dialog. Some of this cringe is called out which is lovely but then they just keep at it...

The friendships in this are probably as good if not better than the romance in this I love most of the side characters, and love to hate the side characters that I should hate too.

I love the way this is filmed, even though some parts gave me motion sickness I do feel that they managed to use the filming to convey the emotions and development really well. The crew here made use of everything and indeed did get my senses involved in the story. This was especially noticeable in the peak moments of the drama as well as the sex scenes who where very tastefully made, not much nudity but they did indeed convey that some one in there was getting it on...

I am not really sure what to say about the consent in this, they talk about it but I am not sure I fully agree with them. And these are indeed real youths with a whole lot of problems, some could say kind of broken... like most youths (that I knew in my youth). I honestly kept wondering if some of the characters in this where going to jump of a bridge or start making out with some one as several parts could go either way in this.

The OST was both great and horrible some of the music was just not my taste while other song may just may make it to my playlist.

All in all a pretty decent watch that deals with a bunch of stuff (mostly mental health), is entertaining an easy (at times dark) watch.

Could have been so good without the romance...

I am conflicted about this drama, there is a lot of goodness in it pretty faces, funny scenes, decent acting, lovely gazes and some pretty deep thoughts between the fluff.

Had they only made this a story of friendship support, pain and healing, though I hate the word healing this would have been great and would probably have gotten a much higher score, however having a romantic plot line between a dog and a human does not work for me at all and makes me feel really uncomfortable. I am trying to understand this phenomena as I do see it from time to time? Is wishing one pets became human a real thing? Do people actually want to have a romantic relationship with a human with the the mentality of a dog? Hot and muscular as the person may be, knowing this is the human form of the pet he once cared for? Seriously? Why? I get that there is a lot of love but romance? Really?

Losing my dog was one of the hardest things I have ever been through, going home to a dog less flat was unimaginable several years later I still miss my dog a lot. I have had pets most of my life, so I do understand that there is a strong bond between a pet and their owner, but the pet is completely dependent of it´s owner and is more like a toddler than a lover. Lee Jae Bin did an amazing job showing us that he indeed was a dependent dog that loved his owner unconditionally. Kim Seong Hyuk who played the cat was hilarious to watch, his love line was a bit more acceptable, as he was mentally less dependent and more mature. While still keeping cat qualities + his love interest is not with his owner.

Seeing these side by side made it even more clear that the romance between Choco and his owner was disturbing.

The production itself was pretty good for what I assume is a low budget production. So basically Sweet and interesting story but kind of disturbing... that could have been great if they just left out the romance.

Captivating story that made me feel stuff...

This is the type of drama that will both keep you on your toes, and make you fell stuff... a lot of stuff... As we follow several people in several timelines giving us just enough to not be too confused but not enough to figure out the whole story letting bit by bit unravel as we go along. What we do know is that the two main characters were each others first love and that they somehow drifted, got torn, splitt, ended... All spiking my own curiosity.

The leads both young and less young are lovely, fun, relatable, human basically the type you want to get to know better and can not really get enough of. Their chemistry is great, their interactions both playful and deep Very well preformed as they managed to convey a whole lot of different emotions.

The kids in this drama ara adorable and so are most of the family bonds seen here and there, with the exception of a mother or two who I would gladly have shoved off a cliff. I truly loved the rest of the characters and wished them all happiness. Though I got to see mostly pain, and a bunch of life does not always turn out the way you want it kind of deal. I found myself rather relating to them and did not find myself overwhelmed by it but rather found it real in a way or as real as it can get, it is still a drama based on a song. The story is told in such a way that all the characters come off as real humans, with real fears, emotions, inner conflicts... and so on and so on...

One of the supporting characters has a hearing disability, she is there to move the story along, show us glimpses of the past and be part of the build up for the main characters she also gets to be portrayed as a caring sister, a mother and a lover giving us some deaf representation done right.

I love the OST in this and am fascinated by the idea of adapting a song to a drama, I do not think I have seen anything quite like that before.

To sum it up this is for the romance lovers out there who enjoy a mystery, and can take a bunch of pain, slice of life realism... And not a story for those in need of joy and fluff, so if you are just looking for fluff step away and look for something else. And though I did not fully cry I did get the lump and a tear so if you are sensitive you may just want to have some tissues nearby.

Oh my... Not som much logic... but light?


To be able to watch this drama you are going to have to discard any hint of logic... and by that I mean you may just want to think of this as a fantasy drama as there is more or less nothing that makes any sense at all.. be it human relations, pace, medically... you name it the logic is just not there.

The pace of this drama varies to slow, very slow, fast as ***, to so slow you do not understand how they are going to be able to wrap this up in just a few episodes to slooow with fast peaks... I guess it is i form of interval training in a drama... Having relationships go from I hate you, I love this other dude, in more or less 10-15 episodes (give or take) to we are never ever gonna be together, to now I shall kiss you... to naked in less than 60 seconds with little variation for most of the couples.. there is also a hint of Who are you, do I know you and get the *** away.. to kiss, to naked, to get the f*** away again... Entertaining at times, draggy at times... Highly inconsistent and a bit of an anti climax I guess...

That said there are a lot of fun icicle moments, behind the scenes helping, complete lack of communication skills and some secretly romantic moments. Some of those are really sweet and good. There are also a bunch of shower scenes... lots and lots of shower scens... And pretty views. Some highly predictable evil and action. Some less predictable twists here and there . A lot of apples... so many apples that it should come with a warning eating to many apples can damage your health so do not try this at home, If you are experiencing problems with you heart please go see a doctor...

I am not going to say that this was good, nor so bad it was good bu tit was okay... nothing I would highly recommend but nothing I regret watching either. What I do regret was starting this a few weeks before it finished airing as most of the characters were not memorable enough for me to remember who some of them were once I got back to watching the last episodes. So if you do watch it do not let too much time pass between the episodes.

I tried making something with emojis... but only a few work I see some people like emojis so here are some hearts to all of those who watch this brains, I know you need them:

Is this the real life is it just fantasy... Yep It´s complicated....

There are those who write fantasy scripts and then there is Chi Feng Chien whose writing is a completely different level of writing though I do have a few issues (ill get back to those) that take a way a few stars the OST, Twists and over all brilliance of this drama makes up for it.

The story is this amazing mix of suspense, spirituality, romance, ETHICS, religion, insanity, culture, environmental awareness, nature... and relevant issues that reflect upon the times. Incorporating elements that remind us of the daily struggles of the early 2020s without letting any part take over. I am nether spiritual or religious and could probably classify as team science... and will admit that it did get a bit to spiritual for my taste at times but over all it was well balanced and by the end of it I came to appreciate those elements as well. I dare say this complete mess is actually pretty well balanced in a way I think only Chi Feng Chien can achieve, because it does have a lot of elements and it does get messy yet stays simple at the same time... while adding touches of humour here and there.

The twist are about 90% unpredictable, the music is just so well fitted and takes part in some pretty amazing scene, not to mention the great cinematography... oh and the relationships are just so sweet. The characters (including side characters) are lovable most of the time, they have all kinds of interesting development that goes all over the place and all but a few scenes show great acting skills. Also the way they incorporate Greg Hsu is just so perfect bringing smiles to who ever has ever seen that guy...

When watching do make sure not to miss the post credit scenes, they may not always be necessary but they are mostly really fun and will add that little extra dash of glitter to make you enjoy this even more.

There is one twist/side character that is a person in need of a heart, the way this was handled really bothered me on several levels, among them the plain miss information about heart transplants that she talked about. So do not take what she said as a truth. They did also show her as a human that is more than just a patient which is a + and there was a voice of reason among the annoying scenes surrounding this, but it still bothered me.

The other thing that bothered me was some over acting by a few side characters, had it not been for these two this would have been a clear 10 star drama and made it up among my favorites.

There are also some confusing parts that may remind you of the intro to Queens Bohemian Rhapsody... lots and lots of rain and umbrellas... So do not trust the tittle... there will ofcourse come a time when the rain stops, but most of drama will show you scenes of rain and umbrellas. lots and lots of umbrellas in all shapes, sizes and colors... but what do you expect when the main character is the god of rain... By the way the main couple also goes thru being sweet, wett, cold and everything in between...

All in all this definitely a drama I recommend you to watch.

Adorable kid... inconsistent and that is it

This drama starts off really well, had it continues in the way is started with a smart a tad clumsy but adorable female lead.
An Icicle male lead lacking communication skills and the cutest kid ever... The side characters are not even annoying or anything like that. The Sysmance is one of the grater ones and the second male lead is this adorable kitten loving man. I do not even remember the male lead forcing himself on the female lead even once. then I would probably have given it a nine star rating

But at some point the female ale lead suddenly looses all signs of intelligence. Just poof and they where just, gone never to be seen again. Some parts got rushed , others seemed like they would never end. The humor disappeared and all we had left was a cute kid and some badly preformed kisses.

So all in all, watch it if you have nothing better do do and love adorable kids. But I would not really recommend it.

Chinese culture propaganda with a dash of romance

A very long lesson/propaganda series about Chinese culture and chinese textile with a dash of most women are evil, men are good no matter what evil deeds they do they are to be forgiven and some romance on the side.

Some friendships where sweet and the second couple was adorable.... The ML was a chauvinist who lacked communication skills and would rather communicate by kiss then by words. But gets a big plus for not forcing himself on the female lead even once! He did however never really stand up for any one... though he was offered plenty of occasions to do so. The female lead was actually pretty smart and could stand up for herself but still self sacrificing and never put her foot down.

Some parts where sweet, and it did not quite follow the regular cliches but was dragged out and mostly boring yet easy to binge at the same time...

It was okay but I honestly do not know why I watched it all the way thru, when I have a PTW with lots of dramas I want to watch maybe I just needed something that wouldn't strain my brain to much and well this definitely did not. It did make me want to punch some people so i guess it did effekt my emotions in some ways but just not enough to make me really care.

So all in all if you are very interested in design, textiles and Chinese culture this is a great drama for you to watch if not then there are better rom coms out there but it is okay.

Empty eyes

This drama starts off with interesting, playful, cool slightly broken leads but drags on and on with boring plot point after boring plot point... slow mo.... flashbacks and filler episodes making my slightly affectionate eyes getting n to this end up as empty ones.

The leads ahve decent interactions and indeed do seem to look at each other wiht hungry/deeply affectionate eys but they are hot n cold, yes and no, on and off, and on and off, and poof someone is gone and poof someone comes back. Immature, impulsie and completely lacking communication skills are words that could describe every single character in this drama except for the kid.

A part of me loved the kid another feels really bad for the kid as he is just a kid but takes on the role of grown up, mature voice in the room. In the drama it is passed off as a good thing in my mind all I see is irresponsible adults making this kid grow up to fast.

Yes there are some decent shows of found family, courtship and friendship... Bad paranteing, more bad paranting and yes bad parenting from the so called good parents too.

So while there are some interesting and passionate moments between our mains and Im sure there is a good story to be told hidden in there somewhere... The drama it self may aim for deep affectionate eyes from the viewers, as the episodes went by, much like a bad marriage the affectionate eyses turende empty and I just could not wait for it to end.

Bickering Fun

If you love bickering, hate to love, to hate, to love this is definitely a good place to ind it.

It is such an easy binge, one moment you started it then next you are waiting fo that last episode to be released the next day,

While I am not going to lie, there are a few very annoying over the top characters, their screen time is limited enough to not drag down the score to much.

The rest of the characters are lovable, sweet, and jus ta blast to watch. Especially the Past versions of the leads. Those to had me feeling a whole lot of nostalgia, pain and sweetness all at once. The chemistry between the two kids was just so perfect. so playful and cute. The way those two conveyed emotions impressed me a lot. Actually ID say all the teens in this drama where really well casted and did a great job both past and present.

If you are looking for something to surprise you , unpredictable twits and thrills this is not the place you will find it,. Unless you are new to dramaland that is, and if so then part of me envy's you...This is definitely a good drama for beginners. But for those experienced in drama land the you are bound to smell the twists several episodes a head.

While the grown up cast was all pretty good. I want to give some extra point, and love to the female leads new best friend she definitely had me wanting more

A fun and easy binge for all bickering hate ti love lovers out there.

Waste of talant and screentime

This drama starts off pretty interesting, with secrets, deceit, ambition, horrible parants. Rich vs poor, lies vs truth... etc. Most of the characters are okay, some even really good those first bunch of episodes and I dare say it even strts off as a retty easy binge.


But then comes the never ending propaganda, educational series of boring business twists that do not make much sense and are either dragged out to all eternity (or at least it feels like it) or rushed.... a 25 episode build up wrapped up with three words that just passed by in a flash.

So basically cut the episode to 15-20 focus on one story and not a bunch of I must amke it on my own stuff, plus, minus... and it could have been an 8 or even 8,5 but I just cant ignore the later episodes never ending mumbo jumbo. So basically if you choose to watch this ID say stop somewhere around episode 20 and you will be fine.... .

Powerstruggle and the lies told, seen though lies through the eyes of teens

❤️This drama is so good showing some of societies structures, behaviours struggles... Seen through the eyes of teens... okay maybe not through the eyes bus since the story is about a guy named aye it felt right to say that. ❤️

It shows us some pretty powerful social criticism as it is very easy to see parallels to how people talk about some of the fights and movements out there... As well as how structures and power is held.. All in the form of a school instead of society. Lies told in the name of keeping the peace and keeping things the way some people think they should be. Making references to George Orwell's 1984 (one of my all time favourite books) showing extreme lengths people will go to out of fear and so on… Making way for some pretty amazing dialog and a bunch of very powerful scenes.

The scenery in this drama is very pretty so is the cinematography, even though we get to spend a whole lot of time in a pretty generic school building the editing and lighting makes sure each episode has at least a few ecstatic scenes.

The characters in this drama are relatable, lovable, fun to watch and show very few annoying tendencies. Even Neo Trai Nimtawat who normally plays an over the top character that gets on my nerves goes from slightly annoying to lovable. And there are some pretty amazing pick up lines too.

The leads have great smiles and great chemistry, one of them almost seemed to grasp the notion of consent reading into his partners signals, and actually using word such as may I… But then he goes and does something a little bit boundary-less, making me question his knowledge after all… he is however very attentive and…Well there is no dead fish kiss in sight. As well a sa whole bunch of real emotions done right.

There are some unpredictable twists here and there, I am not sure I actually liked them but they did definitely catch me off guard so kudos. Also people it is not okay to out people no matter the purpose is.

Bingabilaty high,
Entertainment high
Important message- high
Heart flutter- decent.

Definitely one of the best youth dramas out there and I highly recommend it

Where toxic fumes and fluff create HOT steam...

This drama may not have a lot of story to it, as it practically is two guys in an arranged engagemnet keeping secrets from each other creating lots, and lots of trust issues and playing games instead of communicating with each other... Lots of cliches not much plot, highly entertaining and defiantly fun to watch for all us cliche fluff lovers out there... a feast for the eyes a fest for the ears... Toxic goo everywhere... However having parents not only support but encourage a gay marriage is kind of sweet and not very common in Dramaland... And I dare say it is really well done, not completely ignoring the society we still live in while trying to make the idea of an arranged gay marriage no less strange the idea of an arranged hereto marriage, with all their +s and -ses.

What is slightly troublesome in most of the show is the way two of the couples younger half are treated like kids with curfews, withholding of information, lies, lies and more lies... And well control and disipline ,.. more like they were their younger siblings or their kids but with steamy kisses and well made steamy sex scenes... People you should not have to control or discipline your other half.... However this does make for a starting point for character development and I did manage to separate the acting like parents and the steam but for those who find that stuff hard to separate and/or are sensitive to this type of stuff MOVE ON there are plenty other titles to watch you do not have to watch this one. It is entertaining but not that entertaining that it would make it worth it for those who get triggered by this type of stuff.

Kirin the young half of the main couple is such a talented sweetheart, hiding his true self 8for good reason), does a pretty good job jumping between personalities and conveying conflicting emotions, fear and desire to be loved. He has some pretty awesome friends (especially Syn )who are sweet, supportive, interesting and make for some pretty fun couples of their own.

Hia /Kilen is a typical cold CEO type with a fun and warm side waiting to be discovered... making for a whole lot of fun humour and some pretty fun scenes. Also not every time but many of the times they say Hia it sound more like they are saying sheeeea, kind of entertaining for those used to hearing that word as something else than a name...

Both guys very 2 different personalities (each) that are a blast to watch especially watch them swith between them.

The other side characters are pretty decent and this is the biggest revolution of them all the parents here seem to be the voice of reason. the other Hia Yi (Hias best friend and older half of the second couple) bothers me for some reason, could be the lack of reason...

But the overall message seems to be pretty decent, once you get past some of those other issues...

Bingabilaty High
toxic levels: medium high
Healthy relationships: none
Fluff: 9
Steam: 10
Entertainment value: 9
Quality: 7
Chemistry: fireworks
Kisses: A LOT, no dead fish in sight

Defiantly worth a watch for those who can stand the heat and separate fiction from relationship goals.

P.S. There are 2 cute dogs and some pretty heallereos PPL also make sure to stick around pasta the credits of the last episode.

So bad it is good... Cringe and Cuteness as far as the eye can see...

This is short, easy to watch, easy to smile and definitely made me laugh once or twice per episode... And taught me that even cake can be funny...

The leads are cute as buttons... and have very interesting flirting techniques... The Second lead made me wonder if he was supposed to be a parody or if he was meant to be an authentic second lead... whatever their intention I loved him and he was probably the source of most of my laughter...

Other things I found funny was the very purple flat mate, scenes at the gym... completely illogical shower scenes... And a lot more...

I also liked the wisdom within the youth, teaching me new things...

I cringed, I laughed, I binged it too fast and I want more!

A beautifully captured moment (okay years) in time

This drama is such a trip down memory lane, relatable lovable, sweet and deep. Not so much for the sports and romance this dramas strengths are rather the slice of life, nostalgia, real events, issues, mixed with beautiful stories of friendship, hardship and some other ship...

To be honest I was a little bit annoyed at the way they portrayed the female lead in the first few episodes making her seem a lot younger than she was supposed to be as well as making the male lead seem a lot older than he was supposed to. I understand that it was probably done to set the scene and mood but it was little bit over done and borders on annoying. However that faded out as the story progressed and rather turned in to character growth instead of annoyance.

I was also annoyed at people pushing blame, wishing others harm o and it did have just a little bit to much yelling for my taste... But hone it had all these really good one liners and scenes encouraging mistakes that I almost forgot about those annoying elements.

There are a lot of good and interesting messages in this drama, great cinematography, gorgeous use of umbrellas... cuteness, fluff and everything painful... The short visits in to present day are well placed and though they could be considered spoilers making this drama spoil itself... the spoiling still keeps us wondering why, how and in what way are they going to... dare I feel happy? In other words these so called spoilers keep the emotional level high thru out the drama.

The people and situations portrayed in this drama are often complex and are often shown from different angels taking a step away from the typical good guy/bad guy as well as showing the affect on the people behind them.. As well as showing the circumstances leading up to the situation or sometimes questionable decision.

The setting in the late 90´s was so much fun to watch, having been a teen at that time my self I just loved the way they used tapes, showed the fashion, the computers, the first phone... the fear of the 2k-bug and the events that helped form the people of my generation, even if I myself liven on the other side of Asia at the time,

I have, laughed, cried, been angry... Yep felt just about every single emotion out there making this drama just right for me and would have given it 10 stars if it wrest for some cringey annoying dialog here and there as well as a few (very few) twists that felt like they were trying to make us a bit to emotional. The emotions were there just fine without those scenes so they ended up annoying me. However I do love this story, the way it is told and the overall messages conveyed in this drama
