Beige contract Cinderella
this feels a bit like a role reversal contract marriage done beige, very, very beige.While the male lead is an adorable little puppy , the female lead is a bit of an over acting bulldog scaredy cat combo.
The male leads styling is completely off , it takes talent to put a cute guy guy in a suit and make him look less attractive. The female lead has more moodswings than a swing on a school playground adoring break time. They seem to try to make her look independent but fail at every turn...
An okay watch, that is a bit different than many others like it but sometimes different does not mean actually good.

Meeh
Ask not who you kissed last night but who you want to kiss tonight. if only our male lead would have done that we would not have anything to watch.Honestly I am not sure that is a bad thing...
While there are some nice shots here and there, and the guys are pretty cute. The male lead lacks any form of expressions looking like a lost kitten from start to finish. I really do not get what the three guys see in him or why he is so confused about the kiss he baerly remembers.

Good start but inconsistent and annoying towards the end
It started off pretty okay, the romance is nice, the friendships are lovely the villains are idiots and the families are adorable... But then it became slightly repetitive, annoying and took some kind of turn from business/romance to undercover patriotic justice warriors... Bringing in all the things I have come to accept (unwillingly) in C -dramas and just can't take in my K's. This change har me rolling my eyes so many times it became ridiculously painful to watch towards the end. The pace is so off, the way things wrap up is not the least bit satisfying or in anyway given proper closure to the build up. And there are so many things that make no sense at all about the villains. It is as if they cut out their scenes to spare us the misery they bring .So why the high score?
Again the characters friendships and first half of the show sores between an 8,5 and a 9., as for the rest it does have some moments of fluff and sweetness between the eye rolling moments.

Can't buy me out of love...
This is a story about the guy who was afraid to love and the other guy who fell so hard he even got a fake tattoo.To be compleatly honest I don´t really get why the guy who got hte fake tatoo fell for the guy who was afraid to love? there is not much of a process there unless you count being payed to pinn a guy upp against a wall...
There is a lot kissing, more or less partial nudity and steam during the first few episodes, so much I had to turn off the volume , bu thten again the guy who is afraid to love sounds pretty much the sam when he is enyoing himself as he does when he is having an anxiety attack. So if you do watch this and have kids or parents who are still awake in your homeyou may want to turn off the sound or wait until you are alone.
there is not much plot, and I don´t really like the pale male lead who is afraid to love, his acting feels off nat there really is not much to him.
The other characters are fun, I could use more screen time or a spin off for the lesbian couple...
All in all an Ok watch but nothing wow.

Not perfect but an easy binge
I went in to this thinking it would be really bad but honestly both me and my husband said it was not as good as season one but better than season two.To watch this you will have to turn off your brain as not much actually makes any sense, like at all but I do believe the story does give us some depth, closure to the other two seasons and sheds a pretty decent light on survivors guilt and that surviving (what ever it may be ) is just the beginning and in no way the end.
It also feels true to the Joker for not really making any sence and giving us the feeling of anything can happen as the rules can change and all is a mess.
As for the near death experience and afterlife stuff I feel like it is more of a show of the body struggling in those minutes than the consciousness... As I am a firm believer in the near death experience being a whole lot of nothingness, but htat could of course just be my personal experience of it...

Sweet
First of all I do have to say that he/she teses you because she/he likes you is generally not a good way to go. However in this drama the way she teases him is just soooo cute and a bit to much fun to watch.The way these two interact with each other and thdir surroundings is just a blast to watch making this an easy binge. It may not have a lot of substance but it tells a sweet story of puppy love, friendship and well a lot of teasing....
Now I must find the sequel film

Sweet and informative
This is a short sweet slice of drama, One that shows the importance of finding meaning and belonging as well as people who will appreciate you just the way you are. Not because of piti or duty or some kind of inspirational story. But because of who one truly is.As for our leads the smiles, the way one them eats and two completely different approaches to pure and honset are a pleasure to watch.
While I admit some parts of this drama felt more like an educational than a drama, and one of our male leads does have som impuls/anger issues. I still felt like I could love each character as well as what they contributed to the story. Offering very spot on scenes about life with a disability and the different ways people partly cope but also the many ways sociaty contributes to ones silence and life harder than it should be.
Having a soft spot for dramas that show people with disabilities as more than becoming the disability (even if the disability took a lot of space I did feel that the true story was more about living rather than surviving, friendship and of course romance.
The drama also seems to want to send a message that there are different types of intelligence, different paths to take and that what works for one person may not work for another there is also av very clear message about how hard it can be to communicate and understand not only the sender (hearing or not) but also ones self.

Not the best drama of my life
This is one of those drams that starts off okay, and has almost all of my favourite tropes.... Especially when you count the second couple that more or less out shine the first one.The female lead is kind oh so kind, a part of me wondered if they would name a street after her. She also lacks self a steam and could use trying to communicate over assuming stuff. The male lead is frustratingly slow (yes within 14 episodes) devoted, possessive, cold didn't really impress me much even though I usually love my icicle leads. The cat is however cute.
But then it gets draggy, oh so draggy, and preachy making my eyes role yet again.... So much that I considered dropping it at episode 14 before I realised it only had 14 episodes so I pushed though that last episode and was greatful they didnt try to make it 24.

Being a better adult and learning to loose
This drama makes very little sense and gathers a whole lot of terrible, terrible adults, mostly terrible masculine adults. Selfish, hot headed men who do more or less anything to trample on anyone they see fit. Brining out my anger and making me wish doom upon them. I also kept wondering how these men could survive in an environment where there are guns and physically strong teens that out number them by quite a lot.But seriously very little of the reasoning in this made sense... Like dude has a non contagious illness, we can't have that guy around the kids but a violent dude who assaults them is just peachy. WHAT? Or Throw the match to let your student win or else you are a bad coach?
As a vice principal I shall do all to oppress the kids so I can move funding to impress the guy up in the chain.... again WHAT? Or and a lead who rather be remembered as someone who doped and took away the nations gold than come out as sick....
The friendships among both adults and teens are top, top. The character growth is sweet, there is a little bit to much yelling and several highly annoying characters however annoying as they are they are kind of needed for the plot. So I let it slide.
That said it has some moments of fluff, other moments of suspense and decent acting. And the message is actually pretty nice. We should all focus on being decent adults and loosing is a natural part of life.

Good start but fails the psychiatric test...
This drama has some sweet moments and lovely friendships it starts off really interesting with love to hate with a twist math/secret pen pal twist.Our male lead is a cold guy who really never ever lets anybody finish their sentences a tendansy that only gets wors towards the later episodes. Our poor female lead is a supernatural super hero or has like 5 clones. I love her but there is no way on earth a human can do all that and still survive.
The evil second female lead is as portrayed as the most conniving woman ever to walk the earth, For a drama that seems to want to talk about mental illness they seem to completely lack any basic understanding of human psychiatry and psychology. I may not be an expert, really I am not but the way they try to portray PTSD and depression just feel off and there is no way the evil female second female lead has the right chemical balance in her mind.
Other than that there is a cool aunt, a highly predictable best friend or two and some other lovable characters and is a pretty easy binge. However all this good is just not really enough for me to recommend it even if it started off as an 8,5 the later episodes just fall flat and are meeh. The kisses feel generic (though they try), and there is just one to many questionable approaches to mental health to make me wanna recommend it.

The female leads smile is everything.
Sweet communiy, predictable story, adorable female lead and a male lead that looked a lot better when he had facial hair .... Still it is an easyromcom. The female leads smile adss a star or two, the gangsters/debtc olletors deduct a star or two but over all it was an easy watch with decent representation and great kisses. I won´t say it is actually worth a watch but if you don´t have anything better and are in the mood for some colourful cringe.Go for it

If only chemistry could carry a show
This is a story about an extremely stubborn immature quick to judge girl and a guy who is training to be a lawyer but is kind of controlling and seems to completely lacks vocabulary to complete a conversation, Tho his defence the girl doesn't really give him a chance to communicate. Which pretty much setts the stage for the drama in this otherwise cringe and sweet romance .The amount of second hand embarrassment I felt while watching this was enough to last a lifetime...
The chemistry is good, the romance okay, a bit cringe and I sis wonder sometimes if they where flirting or having an adult magazine photoshoot. But over all the way they looked at each other set off explosives. So I would love to see the leads together in a better story and though I do not have very high hopes about the shared universe dramas that are being released on viki.

While you where sleeping (1995) goes full Lakorn
This drama is is basically the storyline of while you were sleeping from 1995 reamde in to a lakorn switching out the kind family to evil adomptiv mother and brother. The first few episodes are extremely true to the plot of the film from scars in the groin to healthissues and break downs before it takes a dive in to the deep dark waters of the lakorn where all sweetness is basically washed off with the Thai soap making it it's own thing.The characters (all of them), have highly questionable both ethics and braincells, this truly is a Muscle-cell over Braincell type of deal. Abs over Acting. Visuals over Plot... A drama that feels more like a bad parody than a full story. The only thing keeping you in suspense is that feeling of no they wouldn't stoop that low, or would they? only to realise they could go even lower... And oh did they go low.
If you loved the original movie and want a good oh this is so bad laugh this is not a bad choice, if but if you are looking to any kind of substance move along there is nothing to see here.

Silly and lacking process
This movie could have been good but there is no process, every single scene is under developed and I am not really sure what they are trying to say here, unless it is don't get caught up in what people say and an eye for en eye makes you the eye.There could of course be more to it, something about society being quick to judge and that nothing really changes, or maybe some type of you we are all the villains in a world where people suck. Careful what you wish for, careful what you say someone may take it seriously... But it was all cluttered by the loudness, the mobs an the flickering camera.
Making my wish for depth... or my wishful interperted depth and the presence of some good actors up the score but my honest opinion would probably be meeh...

The yelling lab
Hard working hot headed female lead meets cold as Ice male lead this could have given us lots and lots of bickering fun but all I got was aworn out mute button and a feeling of why?The most interesting character in this is the rich ex wife. the rest have some moments here and there but all the good is overshadowed by the over the top supposedly comedy that had me roling my eyes so many times I should be thankful I can still use them.
Why did I keep watching it, honestly I am not sure.... probably the sweet and the cold between the yelling and this hope of getting to watch something better. Also I do love potatoes so I had to support the cause.
