I just want to say....Thai GL series...move away! Lol. This is how you do a GL series. Not much skin and kissing but as a viewer you can really feel the love between the two characters. How TingTing giggles like a little girl whenever she's around Yi Min and how Yi Min gets jealous yet try not to show it. It depicted how 2 people living together makes a difference in a relationship. 2 different personality that blends the whole story. It wasn't overly dramatic but it showed how to be in a same sex relationship in a society. And even if it showed what life is truly about, the romance wasn't missed. All those small kisses and pecking even if they didn't kiss torridly is enough because the chemistry is undeniable. Well..they kissed in a torrid way but that kiss was full of emotions. Those things happen in real life when both of you are fighting for the relationship and ended having sex while crying..that was a masterpiece in a real life situation. I guess what made it special is their small reactions and nuisances when they are together on screen. This drama is for those who wanted a story that is mature yet can make you smile thinking..okay this is love. Thanks for the producer for having this 2nd season even if it was 2 years behind or so...but I guess they made it in 2021 and 2023 Netflix just took it and released it this 2025.
This was added on Netflix in year 2025 which is 25 years after its original airing in Japan. The screen was even half the size because it was remastered. Just an FYI during the 90s or early 2000 romcom drama in Japan has the genre of pretty women falling in love with ugly, old or poor pathetic men. And this was in year 2000 so the characters and storyline makes sense..when if you are watching this in 2025 wouldn't make sense at all. The criticism for me is, the ML's character (compared again to the other Jdorama I have watched with the same genre and time) is that he is very lame. It's like what does he even do except going bankrupt and entering the burning house to retrieve her clothes. He didn't even try to chase the FL and just let things happen as they happen. Typically in this genre i will get teary eyed..but this doesn't. I think also they don't have the chemistry, the FL Nanako is a very good actress such as her projects like Majo No Jouken aired in 1999. I was just expecting more because i was surprised that Netflix aired this amongst all classic jdoramas. And as I said in this generation this classic jdorama wouldn't make sense..why? because having love as more important than money is such a foolish thing to watch. In this generation we like to see people succeed and fight for their love not the other way around.
Both of these Thai actresses are pretty infact gorgeous..but the truth is they have no chemistry. Ferin has more chemistry with the other girl from making memorable memories. This two just don't click for me.
If you like a realistic.. romance drama..with a pinch of comedy..then watch this. Don't give up just because on the first episodes the FL and ML doesn't seem to have chemisty and the FL's character was like..so aloof, and yes it took a long while before they became a couple and even them becoming a couple ot took some episodes for the FL to realize she really loved the ML. Even the side stories characters were plotted very well with a clean decent ending that everybody is happy and at peace. The ML is such a green flag basically the whole forest..and I started crying when finally the FL loved him. So...if you are in the unrequited love troop..and then winning in love at the end..this is for you!
Okay..so I'm from PH and Freenbecky was a hit here in the LGBTQ community..like they started the women gay era..haha! This was shown on Netflix but didn't even hit any spot. So I guess the story still matters and actors are not enough to make it big. The acting of Freen specially speaking in english is like reading a script in front of her. Can't blame her since she can't speak fluent English..but still no emotions and seems she was reading a script word by word..obviously it was too difficult for her. And again..its the plot so confusing. Why did they not just focus on a simple scifi lovestory if they really wanted to push on those weird combination plot. What made this movie a mess FOR ME..is that they made it confusing, hard to chew like..what's happening?, and people were saying about the translation issues, and definitely Freen acting in english. This is a pass for me.
Just finished watching the movie on Netflix but it left me confused. I mean I love FreenBecky but the open ending…
I salute you for even finishing it. Don't be too harsh on yourself. I couldn't even finish it because my brain is racking me up.. thinking what is happening.
Here is what i understood:1. movie begins with Kath in 2024 going back to thailand to sell her father's house…
Thank you for this specific summary! I couldn't watch it any longer I'm so sorry. It just don't feel the sense of scifi and romance its like trying to do Armagedon..and those time laps jisy confused me A LOT and I'm just a netflix viewer who wants to get entertained and not worry about what i was watching. Thanks for this.
Some people are just cruel. She didn't kill anyone but you will think she did from comments. Some peoples comments…
Yes,I'm not being racist or judgmental but it is really the reality specially from chinese people. What's funny is that they spread hate amongst themselves and that's why there is what we call Asian Hate.
I agree with the last reviewer here. I love the 2 main leads..they are quite famous actors. The story at first is really cute and engaging but 40 episodes is way too boring and long. They have a friendly type of relationship that has no conflicts. The writers just made nonsense conflicts too make it long. Even the last episode was like a whole movie. And I agree thou the story was cute the chemistry between Sandra and Bai isn't crazy crazy love..they look like 2 friends who have a platonic love. Though yes they were cute together probably because they are just good actors..but there's no fire in it. Even the side characters fell in love almost a few episodes left and again writers created non sense conflicts with nonsense additional characters in the middle and dragging to the final episodes. I was literally watching on Iqiyi TV but I was browsing my phone waiting when it will be finished. I like the story and love the actors that's why i tried to finish it..but to watch it again?...not anymore.
The title of this series should be : FIGHTING FOR AMBITION. If you are looking for romance in this.. skip and watch something else. I felt wasted my time watching this. Don't get me wrong this is a good series and won't bore you. The thing is i was looking for a historical series with excitement and romance. This series is more of war and never ending fighting. The FL and ML have a great chemistry. And a lot would say the ML is stupid..but that makes the story a bit less serious. I didn't like how they manage that even if the ML was stupid, he was the one who deeply loves the FL. Who wouldn't go crazy if you gave your all for a woman and then she abandons you like..I don't need any explanation, I was never jealous of any woman, this is like an unrequited love. The FL only seemed to have a crush on the ML because he was soft and kind. Althrough out the series the FL from start to end was looking for revenge and her ambition to be a General. And on the other hand, the ML was the one making way for the FL to be saved of her being reckless on taking revenge. He also was the one who pushed the FL on her dream to becoming a general. I was waiting for some sweet affection of the FL to the ML. I was so dissapointed that every episode i was hoping that the story would give a little emphasis on the lovestory between the FL and ML. The only romance you could get on here is a very few comedic smiles and when the FL was drunk knowing the ML got married - and that's it. They could have shown a little vulnerablility with the FL's character. Felt like i was snatched with something supposedly good and got drained in the ending waiting for something sweet to happen. And at the end the ML still loves the FL..but the FL just choose her ambition. Clearly this isn't fighting for love.
I got curious who this actress is from Princess Man and got me into this actress page. The series wasn't something that makes a mark for me, but this actress acting was so good. So yes, internationally MCW isn't really known compared to her colleagues who are at same age as her like Park Min Young and some are even older but have international fame. I checked her series and films and same as others here were saying, it seemed she had poor projects or roles that could have brought her to fame after doing Princess Man. She was supposed to be on there already when she did Pincess Man. But for some reason her projects didn't keep to the status where she should supposed to be. Thou Flower of Evil was a high rated series even internationally, MCW's character was not very notable in the public. It wouldn't hurt her if she accepts a different role than those dark themed roles. And maybe choose projects that would highlight her charm and how expressive her eyes are. Just a shame of years pass by her and leading her where she is supposed to be..knowing that Korean entertainment business is very competitive.
Frustrating to watch...thou yes it is exciting to the point that you are going to hope when the antagonist will die and the heroes would prevail. Frustrating to the point that all the good characters died trying to kill the majesty but until the end of the story they all failed and died in vain. And in the end..the ML and FL just lived happily every after in a far away place leaving everything behind. And the majesty still at old age living and probabaly just because of old age that he thought of his misdeeds.
This is so sad..everyone makes mistakes. This is why when things go wrong...never be in China. She already went bankrupt and paid her fees with penalties yet she was still banned to act and chinese people were throwing stones at her. What is so wrong with surrogacy and tax evation that it seemed she killed a person in China. It's just a waste..talking from inter fans like me who just like to see her act since she is a good actress. She is still so young and pretty..common' she can still do so much. It's like what happened to Fan Bing Bing...thou Fan came back slowly even without China and Chinese Fans. Hope Zheng Shuang can come back to acting even without China I'm sure she can persevere.
Same here. Dropped this several times specially that the ones available online aren't that clear since its 12…
Hey! Thanks for the info. I haven't watched it..and I can't seem the find where it is uploaded. Is this like a youth drama with multiple characters? If it is I may not watch it as I'm not fond of youth themed dramas..thou the cast are all known korean actors. However if I may reco as well..if you like the likes of this with a hint of historical and light comedy and romance, I'd reco to watch oh my general! It's a Cdrama way back. That kind is my troop.
Cute! I remember dropping it four years ago but now, as an experienced drama watcher and fed up with uninteresting…
Same here. Dropped this several times specially that the ones available online aren't that clear since its 12 years ago. But now since I have watched a lot of AsianDramas...I'm glad I changed my mind in seeing this. So much love and smiles all throughout this series.
actress such as her projects like Majo No Jouken aired in 1999. I was just expecting more because i was surprised that Netflix aired this amongst all classic jdoramas. And as I said in this generation this classic jdorama wouldn't make sense..why? because having love as more important than money is such a foolish thing to watch. In this generation we like to see people succeed and fight for their love not the other way around.
