Its a hilarious series.

Been a fan of PondPhuwin ever since Never let me go(a series ahead of its time),i must say i am enjoying this drama quite a lot.This drama really brings out their strengths as a pair.....Despite the cringeness of Khun Thee (Ponds' character) you get used to it just as Peach(Phuwin) does coz you get to understand them both.Also having watched the pre-lease episode that had abit of behind the scenes and interviews of the cast you get to understand why Pond is really shinning in this role, apparently thats how he is in real life.Knowing that this project was presented to them just after they were done with We are and both of them were in agreement for it,shows they have confidence in their acting and with each other.Although i must say in future Phuwin better look out for a project that won't have him potrayed 'artsy' because if we get used to him in search roles we won't get to see much of his versatility.In Never Let me go he was rich kid who knew what he wants and was confident with himself,in We Are he was an art student whilst in this project he is a photographer...which give him a chill cool vibe.Fish Upon the stars was their one series i couldn't finish,it wasn't just working it for me.I do hope it ends on a high note coz we're on episode 6 and its just the beginning of their dating era while its just has 10 episodes.

A very very sweet drama.

I very much enjoyed this drama...the couple were utterly adorable.For Japanese dramas this ranks top 5 in my list of all time favorites,it being 10 episodes and over 40 minutes long was amazing.The actors did a superb job and had good chemistry with each other,not only the main leads but with the supporting casts.The production was entertaining with the theatre aspects and narrator interjecting his comments from a viewers perspective.Midway the drama i was wondering why are they still awkward with each other despite being married for a while and i got my answer with the last episode.Yes they were married for sometime but the husband spent better part of his time away and everytime he came back home they somewhat had to start over getting comfortable with each other.

Dont hae high expectations.

This was a decent watch not too bad or too good....i watched it for two specific reasons,Yoo Ah In being in it,i sincerely hope he comes back to the entertainment scene like he never left and my second reason Park Jin young playing a villain.
The movie left me with one major question, If all the recipients received their donated organs from one body....How could the donor body die despite having healing abilities? Also what was the vision all about Park Jin Young saw? Did an evil being want to decend/assend on earth? Or did it want to posses him?
Would have loved to see Tank man get justice from his plagiarism allegations.
Fresh girl/woman at least got her closure with the fireman healed.
The special effects to me seemed abit animated...all in all,like i said...not too bad or too good.

Its not for the simple minded.

This drama is indeed of mature content from the social-political and geo-economic matters being addressed it will certainly have niché fans.Sexual orientation of the characters is more like secondary story to whats going on,we have a hippie who seems to swing both ways,a professor trying to figure out what's going on,a colonel in a forced marriage having an affair with a closetted journalist who also happens to be in a relationship.The relationship lines are really blurred and mixed.Personally i am watching it for the second couple because i am curious how they end up because the setting of this drama is the 1960's so same-sex unions in the country is still a taboo.
The cinematography is well done and i am also enjoying the soundtracks in the series.The thing i am just unable to stand is Tanwa's hair, something about it doesn't just sit right with me.
