Overhyped

Ok firstly I wanna say this is no hate to the actors because they are actually so lovely and never fail to impress me I was just generally not happy with the storyline of this drama. I kept seeing shorts and edits on my fyp and I was so excited id looked at this website and clearly some were not impressed but I gave it a go anyway and I wish that id listened to those who wrote a review because this drama had wasted potential. There could hv been a simple good old business plot with a few twists and it would hv been perf but nah there was like fifty twists and continuous lack of communication between Hae In and Hyun Woo. They hv there good moments but there’s not enough to call it that binge worthy type moment.
I’ll list out pos and negs if it makes it better:)
Pos:
The family on both sides were very understanding the fl fam yes ofc less but at the end they were generally lovely
The humour was quite good but I wouldn’t say madly enough to call the drama a comedy
Neg:
Too much twists the inside relationship of the chairman’s gf and the second ml was annoying af the drama didn’t need that further irritation.
Second male lead was too much like usually a second ml is the jealous and wants to get her type but then eventually realises his wrongs but nahhh this dude kept at it with the absolute worst methods (spoil here sorry using her memory loss to his benefit and attempting to remove Hyun Woo out of the pic) it’s vile and annoying and honestly he fr had a death wish it pissed me off so bad.
Big time lack of communication and deception both developed feelings and neither was willing to say and when it came to the ml he was so focused on wanting to divorce her he forgot everything good which would actually make them perf together and he deceived her with the whole lovey and care mood cz he knew she was dying eventually and when she found out he was upset and just spat out everything basically he told her how awful she is etc without realising her significant change in behaviour which I found was a more lovable side that I was reluctant to let go off
Overall don’t watch it there’s so many other good dramas there so dont bother with this one
I really do hope that the two actors get a chance with each other again because although the storyline was awful they worked very well together and had there been more romance and connection im sure the chemistry would shine through more:)

Absolutely amazing

As someone who isn’t really a fan of historical c dramas cz they kinda bore me I was reluctant but so glad I gave it a go cz it was so worth it.
The actors as expected of Lusi and Ding Yuxi were absolutely amazing and I dt think anyone could hv done it better. The plot was sooo nice perf amount of sweet moments and I was rarely disappointed.
I’m still til now rewatching few eps as they were my fav and I hv only ofc few complaints with the how Qian Qian first liked the teacher dude that really irritated me as Han Shuo continuously tried to care for her and be nice although at the beginning he seemed a bit of a cruel character him on the inside was quite literally the sweetest he has such a nice personality and I was so annoyed that she didn’t realise that and ofc she was trying to get out of the story so wanted to finish the plot but she didn’t realise that by pushing him to Chu Chu when he didn’t even care Abt her hurt him and I really wish she saw that earlier.
Other than that it was absolutely amazing and really hope u guyz enjoy❤️❤️

It’s ok but u could do without it

I was so excited when I saw Seven Tan and Jing Boran starring together and was waiting til the release I’d even got my parents to give me the premium on iQIYI so I could watch it.
Unfortunately I was so hyped for not much at all. The romance was good I loved how there was a general sense for each other and love despite their break up in the past they moved past in swiftly and were very mature about it.
I think plot wise the idea of military and romance was quite good I don’t think it was portrayed very well tho unfortunately it was a longgg series that felt like ages I was wanting more progress within their relationship but rather it seemed to stagger as it went on. I did find the ml quite insensitive at time especially when he was sent with a life threatening task to defuse the bomb his superior gave him the chance to tell the fl but he sent a friend instead to say that he had an important mission and she should take care which simply put her in so much stress and anxiety watching her struggle cluelessly thinking if the ml was ok was simply difficult to watch
I found the fl was also quite childish at times too with simple things annoying her etc I love both actors smmmm but I don’t think the script did them justice at all it was too long and too difficult to watch it didn’t have that binge worthy vibe to it either and I really wish they would hv got a better storyline as it would hv helped so muchhh
If anything the romance scenes r worth rewatching otherwise its mid

Completely worth it

Positives:
Firstly the actors were absolutely amazing at their role it never felt awkward between them and a sense of loyalty to each other was truly displayed.
The storyline had me on the edge every single episode the idea was amazingly executed from start to finish. The whole group was truly lovable apart from the few idiots who decided to betray them. I truly loved all the characters they r all so likeable in their own ways I cried, laughed, swore at them on the occasion 🤣 it was just purely an amazing drama. U didn’t really get much music and if u did it was likeable. Graphics were absolutely mad and honestly amazing work from hair and makeup as the zombies were literally so realistic. I ofc had my fav characters I loved the ml (Lee Cheoung San) soooo much he was such a sweetheart he truly cared for On Jo (fl) and all of his friends he went through a lot and he when the time came did not hesitate to save everyone which potentially led to his death ofc it’s not confirmed now as s2 Trailer shows his return. I did not like Nam Ra and Jeoung Suk at the start particularly together as I thought it just generally didn’t make too much sense but I loved them so much towards the end they really flourished as a couple in terms of trust and care.
Will def be rewatching this until season 2 comes out soooo excited !!
Negatives:
Nothing was wrong apart from the fact that so many friends of theirs died that truly made me cry other than that it was binge worthy on the edge of ur seat suspense and an absolute joy to watch.
Hope u enjoy ❤️

Really good is u like a good cute drama

I loved this drama a lot it’s cute has a nice storyline and the actors as expected of Esther and Ding Yuxi are absolutely amazing they could not hv done a better job. The eps itself were just the right amount and perf to binge.
Only complaints would generally be with a few things in the plot this is spoiling so if u hvnt seen yet just letting u k
I hated the fact ml best friend liked fl eventually as well that really irritated me as not only did it put strain on their relationship the fl obvs seeing ml friend as an idol of hers didn’t see much about going to get coffee or stuff with him if it came to work stuff which sort of developed to normal life which I didn’t quite like as it made ml feel jealous and annoyed I think if they just didn’t put the best friend liking her and everything if would hv took out a lot of the aggravation I had during the drama. Another would be the annoyance that the ml did not tell fl that he is her online best friend it was so annoying and could hv been admitted much earlier which would hv cause much more cuteness and closeness between them.
I wish there were more cute scenes of them but not too much to like a sickening point since it did lack a bit of it however I truly loved this drama and would rewatch some eps defo hope u guyz enjoy ❤️

This one has some spoilers but I promise it’s worth the read

Lemme start with I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAMA.
He Yu and Esther smashed it with this series the acting was on point and I can imagine absolutely no one else playing their roles they truly were amazing.
The plot was great two kids brought up together in the same house siblings but not by blood but separated due to the parents split leaving Zhao taken by Jin Qiang and Mu by her mother only for Mu to come to Thailand at 20 years of age in the hopes of meeting her brother and becoming close to him again.
Main leads:
Jin Zhao- ur typical bad boy but has the most kind hearted and beautiful personality at the time he spent his high school years onward racing and boxing to earn money for his father himself due to a law case in which he was framed but also to help his garage in which he worked.
Jiang Mu- a sweet and cutesy girl completely loving caring and beautiful she clings to him like anything but has absolute adoration for Zhao in her eyes. And although seems like a weak character is strong and supports him every step of the way she cares for him more than anyone ever could a proceeds to continually put him above everything and everyone.
Side characters:
Sanlai- an incredibly caring and humorous character whom I truly sympathised with not only because of him past but because despite everything he went through he was always there to support Zhao and protected Mu at all costs as if she were his own sister his character was truly lovable and amazing
Crazy- as they call him is another friend of Zhao’s who again was incredibly humorous and like Sanlai treated Mu as his own sister he really was a favourite in this series
Lin Sui- despite the rivalry with him and Zhao at the start it was evident that he had no intention to cause harm but rather was bedazzled by his talent their friendship then developed and we can see that he truly was a good one he was the reason Zhao overcame his accident and was able to live with good health.
Nana- I loved her truly bestie of Mu and neighbour of Sanlai she stopped at nothing to be there for Mu from the start she helped Mu make a move toward Zhao and was a consistent help in being a comforter and listener whenever Mu needed it
Wan Qing- despite her unrequited love for Zhao it was clear that she was never going to be an issue as although she loved him dearly she never forced him nor created major issues for Mu and in the end realised that it was best they were together and became a great friend of Mu

Plot:
To keep it short their separation is followed by a reunion due to Mu going to Manshi she makes attempts to get closer to Zhao and slowly learns the difficulties he has been put into his shortened study despite being a top grade student resulted due to economic issues and his continuous want to help his younger “sister” Jin Xin who had a critical disease and needed treatment. The two slowly fall in love and become inseparable and eventually get together however the relationship no matter how sweet gradually gathered issues due to Zhao being conservative of the true economic issues he was in and with the help of Sanlai realised he was not helping Mu by keeping it from her this developed their relationship for the better and he found a way to clear his name as the truth was that he was caught up in a case and framed for it to clear his name he required racing one final time and winning to end all the troubles. However, due to a faulty brake Zhao’s car exploded injuring him to the point he was unable to walk and Lin Sui steps in to get him a great doctor so he can get better however Zhao feeling unworthy doesn’t want Mu to be with him as he felt she deserved someone who could protect her and walk with her so when her mum falls in and requires surgery forcing her back to Canada he ghosts her in which she feels upset they then reconcile in Nanxing 6 years later she is still in love with him and him with her he realises that he had no need to step away at the time and that he wanted to marry her the end shows the two married.

Criticisms:
Honestly my only issues are some of the script stuff but ofc im not a scriptwriter but i thought I’d add it and see if anyone agrees
1. This is minor but when Mu thinks he’s cheating due to the hand he put on the other girl I found there to be no reasonable explanation for that action and it did slightly annoy me as despite his need to do some activities because of him being framed I didn’t see a need for that specific action anyway lolllll
2. The separation of 6 years felt crazy and the frustration I felt of Zhao’s actions were unreal as ofc Mu had already gone through sm because of his case and then his accident then he chose to make decisions for her
3. The proposal was low effort sat in airport waiting seats with the ring attached to a new keychain I liked the sentimental touch but it jus didn’t feel as great as some of the other dramas and the wedding stuff was unfinished cz all best men and maid of honours were drunk and asleep which I found slightlyyyy eh anyway
ALL IN ALL ITS GREATTTT
Zhao’s actions no matter how harsh made me realise his trauma and self esteem were truly bad he felt worthless despite being adored by Mu but this drama is a great way to show his healing and the happiness they both gain I truly loved it a lot❤️

It’s overhyped

I immediately started watching after seeing all the big hype about it and I was so excited but became quickly disappointed after properly seeing the reviews on this website and I’m happy I did because I decided to them read all the summaries and watch a few more episodes and I was quite annoyed and I don’t understand why people r so impressed by this drama when really it wasn’t great

Acting:
I love both actors and I’ll admit it wil be hard seeing them with others I loved their chemistry and they did well in portraying the script well

Plot:
Started off really well I liked it and found it really funny and was looking forward to seeing their romance unwind after finding out they went to school together but was quickly disappointed when she began to hv a crush on Jae Yi. Now I love the guy he is such a gentleman truly an amazing character but I just didn’t like the idea that this crush lasted for so many episodes and that he is the ml brother I find that so weird that u go between brothers I just don’t understand that idea. I generally thought it would be like other dramas where she would shortly find out he has a gf and then give up on him but this lasted for ages and really annoyed me as it took away from the potential of an extremely nice friendship the ml and fl could hv made in the mean time. There’s nothing wrong with her liking someone else but I find it took ages for her to get over him and the fact Jae Yi is the ml brother made it kinda annoying. Kim Bok Joo is amazing in her own way she’s a strong woman who fights for her dream I don’t like how she hid that from Jae Yi to make her seem like a more feminine person that took away my respect for her in a way as she before kept saying she has no interest in guys but the sec she meets Jae Yi she tails after him and acts completely different there was too much juxtaposition in her character which was not helping with the plot as well as the offer for her to go higher in weightlifting kept seeming further and less important due to Jae Yi and she wanting to impress him.
I hate how it’s like she didn’t care about her career at that point just wanted to impress him I don’t like this kind of plot at all it makes a woman seem like she will do anything for a man which this was directly hinting in the storyline.
The ml was a very intriguing character from the beginning clearly talented slightly cocky but knew that he must respect others. The storyline of him losing his mother was also very interesting and I liked that quite a bit he also made sure to set boundaries immediately when his ex showed up he refused to make others uncomfortable because of her and avoided her as he did not care much of her after the break up which I found admirable as majority of the dramas have it where the ex is like welcomed back and it’s as if nothing happened but here he clearly set a boundary and was vocal about anything he disliked so she would stop. Only thing I didn’t like about him ig is that he teased the fl a bit too much which isn’t really a big issue ig so it’s not a big deal.
Second lead characters were all awesome I liked them all very much.

Overall the plot was the issue had the scriptwriters made a more sensical approach this drama would be much more entertaining.
So here is what I would change. Firstly keep the story around the development of both main leads as friends to lovers and also their career. A side story could easily be the unravelling of the mystery about Joon Hyungs mother as well as Kim Bok Joos father as he was in hospital quite a bit and that would hv been enough for plot.
Had their needed to be a rival thing the appearance of the ex gf is fine as Joon Hyung clearly set boundaries and disliked her.
If a crush at the beginning was extremely necessary they should hv maybe chosen someone that isn’t Joon Hyungs older brother I’m not Korean so maybe this isn’t odd for Koreans but I think generally no one would fall in love with one guy and then after that’s over his younger brother that’s just odd to me and causes potential issues within the brothers.
Romance scenes r cute af so their rewatch value is good but the whole thing I wouldn’t rewatch again

Wasn’t the best but isn’t a bad watch

This was my first k drama I had this on my kdrama list for a while I’m more used to watching cdramas so knew it was gonna be different but if I’m honest this wasn’t the best for me.
Positives:
I completely fell for the ml his acting was amazing and in the drama he was just perfect although having a hard job usually caused him to lose lots of time with Kang I really loved him cz he cares and loved her but also truly appreciated her and respected her.
The second leads were at first not my fave just generally cz the second fl seemed like the bossy type but when u got to k her a bit more she was actually quite lovely I really loved their chemistry and both were very likeable although they broke up many times they worked through the hardships together and the cute scenes were amazing
The plot was quite nice and the graphics never disappointed me
I also liked the support couples who although we didn’t see much of were really cute and a nice watch
Loved the whole military bits the missions that were shown always put me on edge and I really liked it
Highlight overall was ml for me 🫶

Negatives:
I didn’t like fl as such she did not respect or understand the ml point of view at all she thought that she saved lives no matter wot and he killed people to save and for that reason she didn’t choose to date him at first she kept demanding for answers as to where he’d gone for missions etc when he was not able to say due to regulations she was stubborn and quite clearly hurt him when he was just the sweetest to her and when they did end up dating the romance scenes were completely useless I think in the entirety of this drama it was like three hugs three kisses not saying there’s anything wrong with that but just a sense of connection was not portrayed or a sense of love and wanting to be with each other this was portrayed a bit by the ml but the fl did not bother much she just seemed like a total nag and for this reason I didn’t like her much
Secondly the second leads had a much better and more romantic relationship than the main leads themselves although they broke up three times that love was always there hugs and that sense of wanting to be around each other was easily portrayed and although I liked that I craved that same feeling for the male leads but unfortunately we barely got that even towards the end although they were more close than before.
Overall the negatives lied mostly with the fl and the genres were supposed to be military and romance and honestly I’d barely call if a romance as it just seemed like there wasn’t any
No hate to the actress ofc she did well in portraying this annoying character but I generally wish they made her more understanding and loving like the ml was cz I feel like apart from the military scenes which I loved sm the romance as I said was hardly there and it would hv rather been better if they didn’t get together at all.
I will not be rewatching this as I dt see anything worthy in it and although loved the whole military idea romance was poor and boring so Yh will not be rewatching and if I do it will probs be the fighting scenes but that may be Abt it


I decided to edit this after watching my glory I think myself and plenty of others did not hate the fl ofc but disliked her character here in the glory she is literally a queen she acted amazingly and the whole drama is so binge worthy
I’m also editing after knowing the whole song song drama
I’m very disappointed in Song Joong Ki I think me and many were def thinking that he was some amazing person when he’s a completely disgusting human being Song Hye Kyo deserved so much better and I’m glad her comeback in the glory is so popular she deserves it more than anyone
If anything ig it gives u more reason to not bother with this drama but yh despite everything there’s better dramas out there this isn’t it

It’s in my top 3 I promise u it won’t disappoint

Hey guys this is probs gonna be very long so I apologise in advance but there’s so much to talk about this gorggg drama.
I started getting to know about this drama after seeing multiple edits and it looked really good
when I saw the amount of episodes it was a little unusual and I was worried it would make it laggy but omg the plot was vibrant from the start to the finish.
The beginning was showing the difficulties of all the main leads as children. Ling Chao with his mother abandoning him, Jian Jian with her mother passing away and her father struggling to raise her, and also He Ziquis mother leaving him. I loved how all three main characters were linked so well Ling Chao and Jian Jian are neighbours and due to Jian Jians dad almost dating He Ziquis mum after she leaves him He Ziqui stays with Jian Jian and her dad. The three grow up together and both Ling Chaos dad and Jian Jians dad become best do friends and bring all three children up together. As the plot goes on it shows how high school life goes I’d say this is the most funny part of the whole drama with Jian Jian becoming a woman and all the men in the house becoming slightly worried as none have experience on raising a girl. U can see the beautiful bond the 3 have with the whole sibling vibe goin on but Ling Chao on the occasion dropping hints that he likes her. Once Ling Chao and He Ziqui leave for Uni Jian Jian is left by herself and is quite lonely as she misses them quite a bit. U can see how much she misses them both when Ling Chao comes home for a bit and jumps on him to hug him veryyy tightly it’s such a cute scene unfortunately they all kinda lose contact and the messages become mostly to say happy new year or happy birthday. When both come back from Uni u it’s quite funny and He Ziqui unintentionally gets into a bit of a scandal with Jian Jian which she lets off after realising it was him and was an accident( I won’t spoil that bit too much cz it’s quite funny). U then see Jian Jian in a women’s light she’s much more mature very pretty and u can see her change. Her relationship with Ling Chao goes on from their and it’s extremely cuteee I love the two so much.

Overall this is a series where each three of the main leads r extremely needed even tho He Zequi doesn’t get with Jian Jian his character is extremely relevant and lovable.
I promise it’s such a good watch and u will love it for sureeeee:)))
Enjoy guys <3
