Cute, funny, touching and says many things that need to be said
This is one of those feel everything dramas, that show a lot of interesting issues thru the lives of a pretty miss-mashed group of people who share a common space but other than that have nothing in common.The different lifestyles and interest of the family's here is shown both at the first meeting but also thrue how differently they decorate their homes and well keeps on from there with conflicts, arguments, slammed doors and broken plants... However every single character in this drama (yes even the shortest roles) show great growth,
Why I rank this so highly is because of the way they say and show many things that rarely get to be said but truly need this space. Though there where times I was annoyed at how they portrayed the some of the characters as time went by they grew on me and I seem to have forgiven the writers (seeing I rated it highly) for making the pros cover the cons.
Important issues covered here are voluntary and involuntary childlessness, women's rights, men's mental health, depression, LGBTQ, found family, domestic violence, divorce, children's rights, self value etc. All well packaged with a lot humour and fun situations.
So yep go watch it enjoy and do learn from it!

Great sequel to a lovely prequel
This movie takes of where part one ended, and it does it beautifully showing how these two keep trying to figure out what they want from each other. What triggers them and if and how they can deal with the inevitable end for the one week relationship that is playing games with their minds.This movie has several moments of tension, making the viewers wonder how will this go? is Seiryo really a masochist falling for impossible people? Or will he Skipp Yuzuru and go for his sister instead? Is Yuzuru really just a jerk? And what about that Shino girl that keeps calling and ruining things?
Part two was just as sweet and fun if not even sweeter, easy to watch and all round lovely... But do watch part one first! And well if you did not like pet one you will not like part two...

Fluff at its best
This is a really sweet and fun romcom with several nice couples, music and a dash of awkwardness. The first episode was a bit low on the humor part but second to eleventh episodes where a feast for the aye and just fun to watch as Icicle or male god and smiles go from fake to real, hetero to bi , hate to love couple in the most adorable way yes all those common tropes in one that are allot of fun to watch. The side characters and side stories are 80% sweet 15% stalkers and 5% annoying at times but over all very lovable.The main couple is adorable but it bothers me that one seems to have to want be more physical than the other a common theme in many dramas. Why cant we just see two people want to kiss each other instead of the no means yes? or no means just convince me more? the line is not crossed, there are no forced kisses or so just not very mutual though the feeling grow to be very mutual its the physical part that does not seem to sync. Still a very sweet story and adorable character growth with lots of fun fluffy scenes.
Then there is some unnecessary trouble that dragged down the overall experience and score for this show but all in all definitely an easy drama that is worth a watch.

Temptation of the Wife of Heirs Over Flowers
2 people found this review helpful
I laughed so loud I think the whole neighborhood heard it
At first I was worried that the fact that all the roles where played by men would turn men in drag in to a punchline but I quickly found that not to be the case. The acting here was surprisingly good while the humor was so bad it made it so very, very, very good.Every singel joke was just terrible yet funny in a non offensive way. The chemistry between the leads was also good and the whole group was just so adorable fitting in so many trops in to 30 minutes of pure laughter.
My humor may be low some times but it is okay to not have divine humor ;)

The male lead does push the female against the wall once in an argument but other than that both male leads are very respectful towards her boundaries and each other. There aren't any annoying side caracters. Things not to be taken for granted in a c-drama.
As in many school C- dramas it is very pure and study oriented. The amount of time these students spend in school is very strange for me having gone to school in Sweden and Israel. The very idea of teachers confiscating mp3s and getting involved in the students social life is very strange for me but it’s interesting to learn about it.
I found myself yelling at them come on just let the kids listen to some music. I personally need music when I study. It feels like the series is trying to say that everybody is different and that students learn in different ways but at the same time it’s very strict. I did feel the story was dragged on a little to long and would rather see some more of the time after high school but otherwise it’s a nice drama.

Is there really anything after Love?
A beautiful story about love, youth, and loneliness. A romdrama in its true sense where what is not said speaks louder than what actually is said. A silence so painful it broke my heart, over and over again making me feel stuff.That said this drama also has a whole lot of fluff, there to make sure you see the difference between the joyful past and the numb present. this is also a drama that uses hair to speak to the audience, not only as a marker of time but also something that had me wondering how they could keep their hair that straight or curly for so long...
The OST is one that I will probably remember for a long time, the line: "Hold me in your eyes" in the context of the drama has such great meaning, as the mimics may try to lie but the eyes tell the story, them and of course the hair.
A highly bingebale drama thatI do recommend, and is probably more of an 8.75 than an 8.5

The story is not as beautiful as the leads but ok
This is one of those dramas that offers great leads, amazing chemistry, golden light for as far as the eye can see making you feel all warm and gooey inside... All with the added bonus of a fluffy can and a fish tank that reminded me of dramas past...It is also one of those dramas that you just you know got though censorship without a hinge, yet managed to keep it kind of subtle compared to others (focus word kind of) somewhere right in the middle of a scale from Road to Patriotic bordom (or Home) to Addicted heroin.
The friendships and side characters to their jobs without becoming to annoying, some twists or moments of affection are hinted just a little bit to much by bad directing. But other than that the sides even have some really good moments.
However I could not have cared less about the business slightly preachy (hens the I am sure it passed censorship well). It just prolonged the episode count and had me lower the score as some of those parts where so boring i almost fell a sleep. Luckily interactions between the leads where never far off.
So a decent watch that made me want to press that next episode button from start to finish, but also had me wanting to skip some scenes.
P.s. I am reallt bias about the two leads, but then again how can you not be with those smiles, abs and delivery of lines.

Thirst scenes and smiles as far as stream can reach...
"I'v wanted to lick your muscles since the first time I saw you" is pretty much what this drama has to offer... As we enter the story of the at times slightly annoying wedding planer and the groom with a wedding plan to do the planner.... Spending more time showing the audience his upper body muscles than fully clothed or talking making this an entertaining watch but ot a lot more.The story itself is okay, it is not good, not bad, it has some sweet and fun moments, a prolonged misunderstanding making most of the viewers think of the geney in Aladdin begging him to just tell the planner the truth and put him out of his misery... but also done in a very evil yet playful way.
The cast and characters are lovely, all in need of an acting lesson or 10, and while I will admit that I was entertained and found several of the cast a pleasure to watch their mimics where often wrong or felt forced focusing a lot more on making scenes where people lick each other than actually delivering dialog beyond smiles and gazes that is.
And well I guess that is the point here the story and delivery could have been a lot better if the focus was on the delivery of dialog instead of making people thirst. That said some of the dialog was actually pretty good and there where actually moments of meaning here and there...
So if you are in the mood for some sweet moments and misunderstanding with a lot of heat this is a really good choice. But if you are sensitive to bad acting or in need of any type of depth you might as well skip this watch.
P.S. Lom (Sunny) may need some acting lessons or better directing but still gets a 10 from me and th eMCD PPL is off the charts

Bad acting meeh story and a questionable agenda...
Someday good actresses will choose to star in a GL.. There will also be great writers lining up to tell amazing stories about love, friendships, and mysteries... There will be a great budget there too, great dialog and amazing kisses...Obviously not in this, this was pretty much 3 sweet moments, a mom that looked to be the same age as the girls... And a story I felt like I had seen in hetero dramas and while I did appreciate seeing a lesbian couple there where just some twists that made me wonder what are they actually trying to tell us?
And what agenda are they actually trying to convay?
Something in this just felt off, and it was not just the acting.

Great friendship, draggy unnecessary emotional porn....
This drama has allot of good parts but also ALLOT of draggy emotional lectures that seem to be there to show us how doctors should talk to their patients surrounded by all things that seem to be there so the audience will feel emotional... but instead of emotional it just made me tierd sick and brought out my less pacifistic side... It is ofcourse nice to see doctors actually doing their job in a medical drama, putting the patients and their needs first but it just gets to be to much. The way it is edited and added violins and pianos here and there is supposed to bring out the tears but just felt artificill and had the opposite affect on me. The amount of times people in the drama say thank you or apologize would make a lethal drinking game, that not a single person could survive.What the drama does well is showing allot of types of bonds and friendships between both the patients, their families and the main cast making way for both extremely slow paced romance, bromance, romance , finding comfort in a person in the same situation at the hospital, etc... The 5 friends are playful, fun to watch and just make you wish you where part of their band.
I love that they make way for the female lead to sing even though her singing is just awful, I love the way they use rain to make beautiful emotional scenes (yes some emotional scenes where done well) , i love the food and I love the camping scenery. All things that almost made up for the annoying never ending lectures.. to be honest friendship 10 stars, lectures 5 stars, romance 9 stars.... becomes 8 stars all together. But in a way I find myself wanting to say I am not mad at the creators I am just disappointed...

Confusing, Aviation comercial meets Aladdin meets Korea
I honestly do not really know how to rate this or how to review it... I find the religious/cultural/Psycopath parts confusing, very confusing and not in a good way but more of a is this okay, should I be watching this with a clear conscious, should this have been made at all? Then again I loved Aladdin as a kid.I do like the leads and their characters. I like several of the side characters.
Kim Woo Bins smile and charm is worth at least 2 extra stars, and so is the look of death on Bae Suzys face. And yes I may bit a bit bias to the two.
As far as plot and drama its not really bad or anything it does have its good moments of sweet and adorable. It does have some low humour but also some decent humour here and there but it gets to be a bit draggy and is just not enough to keep me on my toes or very interested as I find the most interesting part of the plot to be how many flights between Korea and Dubai can one fit in the course of 13 episodes? As well as long for the dessert, not so much for finding a Genie but more sun and sand is so pretty. So I guess the Emirates PPL did make its way in to my mind.
If you are a fan of the leads and the makers of this show you may find yourself questioning your choices of fandom both if you choose to watch or not watch it.
As for those who are not really fans of any of the leads Id say nee, you can find better dramas in the stream...

The Yakuza boss is just so... nice
I would never have thought that the Yakuza bosses would be the ones to seem to understand the meaning of consent better than any one in dramaland. But here I am starting this review with these words as Mr Yakuza boss is just sp respectful and gets it waay better then the cops seem to do.The drama has a few higly annoying, highly evil characters, they do not get to much screen time but whenever we finnaly get rid of one annoying evil another one is seen....
The rest of the cast is just so nice, fine they made a guy pee his pants, punishing the evil protecting the less evil... making me just wanna give them a big hug... who cars that they have guns....
The drama it self is however pretty bland, there are a few kind of passionate scenes but the kisses between them feel kind of awkward and lack all sence of passion, making it an okay watch but nothing really memorable...

A nature cooking show
This is a story about four city boys who where taken away from civilisation and forced to bond with nature and the sun that never setts...It is a story about Lee Je Hoon's love at a late age with cooking, and his development from egg-disaster to egg master, will he decide to become a chef?
About Kwak Dong Yeon the controlling master chef who has everything planned to a tee. Will he learn to let it go and help Lee Je Hoon spred his new found love for cooking wings?
We also have are laid back artist Lee Dong Hwi, who contributes with a light skepticism and slight grumpyness in a good way.
Last but not least wh have the star of the show our very handsome playful slightly noughty Cha Eun Woo who spends most of his time charming people, animals, and nature to do as he pleases. With rolled up arms he can cook, ,he rides horses, he can chop wood... He can even stand the heat in the sauna and is a true feast for the eye and soul.
The nature in Finland is stunning with the sun and mirror blank lakes... and the culture is very simular to the one where I live... the language is different but to be honest it could have been shot in Sweden and no one would know the difference...As it looks just like Sweden during the summer (unless it rains,) Yes this is me telling the boys to come to Sweden, we have better food... I am pretty sure most people in Lapland do have running water, toilets, and electricity but hey that would not really be a challenge for the boys.
The show does get a bit repetitive after a while and feels more like a cooking show than anything else, and they get a bit too obsessed with the nature = happiness part... I am kind of impressed how they manage to get some of our most beloved Kopiko PPL... I am pretty sure they have all said those lines before in dramas. And how they can miss korean food after half a day in Finland is pretty impressive...
But all in all it is a decent watch, if not for the rest. The horse-ride sceneis at least worth an extra star

Charming but bad
I started this drama because I was in the mood for something kind of bad, but in a fun way, and yes I did kind of get what I was craving but also a whole lot of just bad.While the female lead is extremely charming, fun and interesting. Her values are just awful, she is a bit to much and the amount of second hand embarrassment she, the male lead and all their friends prodice is scary.
So values bad, acting inconsistent, twists so bad its bad...
Ring and styling- Ugglye as...
Smiles- Lovely
Kisses - decent
Side characters bad, did I mention values are bad?

Good chemistry, sloppy plot
This drama started off really well, showing great chemistry interesting characters and sinner struggles.The chemstry between the two main leads is phenomenal, I would even say that this is a rare gem amoung GLs with leads who are both interesting and deliver beautiful intimate scenes with some of dramalands most beautiful kisses, touches and a true feeling of aicing and longing for each other.
But then came the twists with one part making less sense than the other. with poorly written (and casted) villains, twists I could smell miles away but hoped they wouldn't go there... (but they did) and just boring and annoying plot lines that honestly did nothing to the story more then prolong it and add episodes to the count.
The most accurate line in the whole dramas was probably "you are just as crazy as your mother" and honestly I did not know who I hated more at that point, I was like thats right man but also who are you to say anything you #€#€Q€"€"€"€#€"#€"
The acting is extremely inconsistent so I blame the director for only focusing on the intimacy parts. Basically if you skip the plot and just hop to the interactions between the brother and sister + girls + granny it could be an 8.5 or even a 9,5 but as for the rest a 6 would be a generous rating.
