Definitely a 2025 kdrama year defender!

My review begins with bewilderment at those complaining about excessive cooking scenes. Seriously? In a show centered on a chef and her food? The director set the tone, promising food would be the star. And it is! Our female lead, a chef, expresses herself through her craft. She cooks to survive, to charm, to bring warmth, and to uphold her honor. Each episode's title is a different course, mirroring the culinary journey. The food even fuels the romance, as the king finds a new flavor and warmth in her cooking. The show's title, "Bon Appétit Your Majesty," underscores this focus. I'm relieved it stays true to its promise, unlike shows that veer off course. Plus, the food shots are stunning. Let the food be the main character!
***


"Bon Appétit Your Majesty" weaves a tale of a modern chef transported to Joseon-era She encounters a tyrannical king, and their initial clashes give way to a unique bond as he recognizes her extraordinary culinary skills.

This show strikes a perfect balance: the chef's journey as a royal cook, blossoming romance, palace intrigue, and well-placed humor. It's a wholesome blend of elements.

The characters and performances shine. Lim Yoona as Yeon Jinyoung, the time-traveling chef, is a revelation. Her intelligence, wit, confidence, and vulnerability are captivating, as is her passion for cooking. This may be Yoona's best role yet.

Lee Chaemin embodies King Yeon, a tyrant and a foodie. His ability to portray both sides – the domineering king and the goofy food enthusiast – is impressive. His reactions to the food and his struggles with the modern meal names add a layer of complexity and interest.

"The acting is phenomenal, with captivating eye expressions and impeccable comedic timing, bringing the characters to life.

The romance unfolds beautifully; it's subtle yet impactful, as the characters evolve from strangers at odds to a royal chef and king, and beyond. It's a journey built gradually and perfectly balanced, with Lee Chaemin and Yoona's undeniable chemistry enhancing every interaction. Their romance is a captivating mix of star-crossed lovers, a grumpy-sunshine dynamic, and a touch of enemies-to-lovers.

The ending was perfect they met and lived happily ever after, and the details of their journey remain a delightful secret. We're so focused on logic these days, but some stories simply don't need it, and that's okay. This show has serious rewatch potential! The humor, the food, the chemistry between the leads, and the acting were all fantastic. It kept me completely engrossed. I had a great time watching this, and it's definitely making it to my 2025 KDrama year-end list.

THE PERFECT BLEND!!! ( of romance, fantasy, emotions, comedy, suspense and thrill)

Lovely runner is a coming of age drama that managed to blend together different aspects and actually made it work some how, lovely runner covers the emotional aspects through its plot and then it goes ahead and adds romance which is heartfluttering and heart warming and then goes ahead and adds in a little comedy to balance out the heaviness of the plot and then it continues to add in many other different aspects such as time travel which is done in a way I found interesting and Intruiging...it then goes ahead and adds suspense and thrill...all of this mixed up together to give as a memorable story....now it isn't easy to balance all of this together without giving much priority to one affecting the other but somehow lovely runner makes it work till the end.

lovely runner tells the story of a fan who loses her idol and during her time of desparation finds her self travelling back in time to the time when her idol was in his highschool days....hence she takes it upon her self to protect him from harm....and make sure she lives to see the future.

I loved the build up of the idol and fan relationship, i loved how the idol was shown as some one who was their for the fan during her tough times and that added a specific emotion towards her bond with him.

We explore the story more and find out that there is more to these two's relationship than just then being fan and idol and that's when the fun begins.....

There are plenty of things I loved about this drama and I'll try to summarise them into five respectively....

THE PLOT : Any one would say that this story has been seen before and yes maybe it has but I loved how it was executed in a way that made it feel fresh to me as a watcher...like I said I love how they blended various aspects together to create something rather memorable.

THE ACTING : The acting was nothing short of being phenomenominal...every one gave their best and I love how they acted with passion, it was the kind of acting that draws you in as a viewer because you get to feel every little bit of emotion through these characters and it was really amazing....

THE CHARACTERISATION: The characters in this drama were made for the actors and actresses that took them on......my only flaw was that I wished that they fleshed out some of the characters a bit more for example I wanted to see the second male lead as more than just this cool guy but rather a glimpse of his personal life and his family something to get me connected to him as a person not that I wasn't but I needed a bit more...a other interesting character that felt wasted was lnyuk, his passion for music alone could have been a build up for his own story he would have shined.. because best believe he knows how to act but it felt like he was a guest role that only showed up when they needed some comedic reactions from him...I also kind of wished that his friendship with the male lead was fleshed out a bit...it would have been heartwarming to see their bromance...that felt lacking other than that the leads were written perfectly each felt complex and each felt like they had personality...the male lead being showed as this golden retriever and a string willed and headed female lead whose hate O wont entertain btw considering her actions and reactions to things were nothing short of how any human being would react......the characters were written well enough...

THE COMEDIC TIMING: This dramas strongest weapon was the spot on comedy..nothing felt un natural or forced..the characters them selves had amazing comedy timing..their reactions to things felt real to the point that some situations couldn't have really called for laughing but I did because the characters sold it...hearts off to the direction of the comedy scenes they added a charm to the story....

THE ROMANCE: what makes a good romance, the answer is being well written in a way that it doesn't cringe but rather gives you flutters and leaves you feeling single...and then the chemistry.. chemistry is such an important factor for me when it comes to romance having no CHEMISTRY ruins everything for me and thank God the leads had song chemistry..they had the tension, they had the cute interactions that felt natural it all felt right so I have to say in addition to the way their there romance was built I appreciated the chemistry that sold that romance to me...I also loved how their love story was a mixture of different genres...we had first love, live at first sight, he fell first and harder, unrequited love, friends to lovers, highschool sweethearts, college romance, adult romance, meet against, and many more....

THE OSTS: “ cause Iam falling slowly in love with you.." I have this on repeat....the osts were absolutely amazing.

This drama was the perfect blend...the romance was done well and so was the thrill and suspense in addition to the time travel and fantasy in addition to the comedy it was the perfect blend!!!

I'll wait to conclude my review before I watch the final episode.....

PERFECT FOR A BINGE WATCH!

Undercover High School is an entertaining drama that, while enjoyable in the moment, might not leave a lasting impression. It’s a great series to binge-watch, providing a fun escape, but I doubt it will linger in my mind for long. For me, the show has more pros than cons; in fact, I struggled to find any drawbacks. While the undercover spy concept feels familiar, reminiscent of American series, it has a unique soul that sets it apart as a K-drama.

The story follows an NIS agent who returns to high school undercover to uncover rumored lost gold believed to belong to the government, hidden within one of South Korea’s most prestigious schools. Along the way, he encounters the show’s villain, rekindles a first love, and forms new friendships. This journey also serves as a healing process for him, as he had previously dropped out of high school due to accusations and bullying. I won’t delve too much into the details to avoid spoilers, but that premise lays a solid foundation for the narrative.

The pros of Undercover High School are numerous. First and foremost, the storytelling is both entertaining and engaging. I love the perfect blend of action, suspense, thrill, and comedy, with just a hint of romance that doesn’t overshadow the main plot. Often, shows like this struggle to balance romance with the storyline, but this series successfully weaves in romantic moments between the leads while keeping the primary narrative moving forward.

Secondly, the cast and their performances truly stand out. This is my first time seeing Seo Kang Joon, and I’m thoroughly impressed. Not only is he strikingly handsome with captivating eyes, but he also delivers a compelling performance. His character feels refreshingly complex; he embodies the tough persona required for his undercover work while also showcasing a chaotic, humorous side at school. He’s simply a joy to watch. Jung Ki-joo also shines in her role. This is already my fourth K-drama featuring her, and I admire how she excels in witty roles. Her comedic timing is impeccable, and I appreciate that she never falls into the damsel-in-distress trope. Instead, she portrays a character who stands up for herself, often in the most unexpected ways.

The dynamic between these two characters begins with a misunderstanding—the student-teacher relationship where she mistakes him for a bully, and he is perplexed by her cluelessness regarding her students. However, as the story progresses, these misunderstandings are resolved, adding depth to their interactions.


As the story unfolds, we discover a childhood connection between the two leads, a trope I typically find overdone. Surprisingly, it didn’t bother me here. Their dynamics improve significantly after this revelation, especially when she realizes they are the same age and that he isn’t actually a student. This blurs the lines between their relationship, allowing us to witness their incredible chemistry and camaraderie as they team up to accomplish his mission. Their chemistry rivals that of other non-romantic shows, and I find it hard to believe that some viewers didn’t feel it—though I understand that chemistry can be subjective.

Additionally, the supporting characters, particularly the team the male lead works with and the students he encounters at school, including his supposed sister, add depth to the narrative. Each character is interesting and contributes meaningfully to the overall story. The humor in the show deserves special mention; the comedic aspects shine brightly. The humor is so well executed that it often catches me off guard. The characters’ impeccable comedic timing perfectly balances the seriousness of the plot, providing lighthearted moments that enhance the viewing experience.

Lastly, I appreciate the show's concise format. With only 12 episodes, it avoids dragging on unnecessarily, covering all necessary plot points without feeling stretched.

Overall, Undercover High School offers a delightful mix of action, humor, and emotional depth, making it a worthwhile watch. While it may not be a groundbreaking series, its charm and engaging characters make it a memorable experience for viewers looking for a lighthearted drama.

It was surprisingly good!

A group of students engage in an hierarchical game where they vote for eachother and are graded in groups of ABCD and then F for the person who fails to get any votes...this person then becomes a victim of consensual bullying by the other members especially those in the top grades.....Our female lead becomes a victim to this bullying after she transfers schools and lands in grade F for not having any votes......and right there and then we witness her slowly learn about the rules of the game and how it has affected the students relationships and even the students psychology or mental health...things heat up when she discovers that the person who made the game is one of their class mates...and that's when the story heats off as she tries to get her classmates on her side in order for them to destroy the game....these students are placed in a psychological warfare with one another as they try to find a way to get rid of the game.

I loved the premise of this drama and I must say it's execution was done in a way that felt really entertaining and Intriguing to me as a watcher.

What did I loved about the show?

I loved the acting...I loved how every one delivered in terms of acting I was told that it was an acting debut for the girl who played the villain of the show and Iam suprised by how good she was..her micro eye expressions and body language always gave me chills...in addition to Bona our female lead who out did her self.....the support characters also did an amazing job.

I loved the way the characters were written most especially the main female lead and the villain of the show..I love how these characters mirrored eachother in terms of strengths and determination and strategies but what differentiated them was the fact that one was using them for good and the other for bad....I love how smart these two characters were made on top of being manipulative and strategists....I loved how the main female lead was a smart planner she did everything after giving it much thought and that made her character stand out for me...I enjoyed her inner monologues since they gave us an idea on what her plans were....either way she was smart and easy to root for......the other characters also blended in perfectly since they all had different personalities which added to the charm of the series.

I loved the story pacing which didn't seem fast nor slow but just alright and it kept me invested both physically and emotionally...it was an intense yet really satisfying and emotional ride.

I loved the osts and background music that added to the intensity of the different scenes....the osts gave me goosebumps especially the opening intro ost that hyped me up for the drama.

I loved the finale and how it wrapped up most of the things in a way that didn't feel rushed but rather they took time off to answer questions arroused and also tied up the different stories of the different characters...it felt satisfying and rewarding.

I loved most of everything about this drama to be honest..it might not have been the most perfectly written but it was entertaining nonetheless.

What I didn't like about it was the fact that it was too short...it ended sooner than I wanted it too but at the same time Iam glad the number of episodes were enough to introduce the story delve into it and then finale conclude it.

Do I recommend this?

YES, If you are looking for a short yet brilliantly written and thrilling drama.

Note: There are scenes of violence and they can be disturbing but they lessen with every episode so you don't have to worry about them being many.....

It's a good and entertaining watch!

A heartwarming and beautiful story that sadly isn't for everyone to enjoy!

I'll start my review off with a a line quoted from the series.....

“ keep your head below the water only for as long as you can breathe and when you feel like you can't do it anymore then get out of the water and catch your breath "
- Samdari hanyeos.

This drama has been a pleasant journey, it managed to mix up different genres and tags and still made things work some how, we had family friend romance an ex lovers troupe childhood friends to lovers troupe and many more.

What I loved about this drama?

- The consistent story telling...they stuck to what the story had to be from beginning to end..it had to be a healing drama filled with life lessons, rekindling relationships such as friendship and family and it did exactly that..I was sold to the way the story was being told in an engaging manner and with atmosg consistency.
- The acting..this was one of the dramas biggest strengths...every character in the series even the little girl could actually act or potray their feelings In the most believable way in a way that getting attached to the characters didn't feel like a problems because it happened naturally.
- The characters...Except for a few annoying ones most of the characters in the drama had personality...they could stand on their own because they had their own stories....one more thing is the flawed presentation of characters that was done absolutely well, these characters were hurt and flaws and imperfect but that was the charm they added to the series...their character development seemed natural and it happened along the way without feeling random or forced..the characters were given room to make mistakes and heal and make wrong decisions that they later learner from and that was another charm in the series.
- The couple's chemistry.. The main couples served longing and Agust and it was done really well....the other side couples were also cute and were the cherry on top of the drama either way all had amazing chemistry.
- The Samdarli community that I felt part of in these six weeks.

Overall there was plenty to like about this drama to be honest...I felt healed and warmed up and also heartbroken by the story..I was so emotionally invested.

Things I didn't like?

- The unnecessary love triangle that was trying to be created...it felt not needed in the progress of the story.

Other than that...this was a good watch....I mean what do I expect from putting together amazing actors and actresses...Shin Hye Sun's acting range and emotion potrayal got me so attached to her character and rooted for her...Ji Chang wook proved once again that he's a versatile actor and I support him trying out different roles because he's an amazing actor...the rest of the actors and actresses too did a good job with their roles.

Do I recommend this drama?

YES..it might seem like the type of drama that isn't for many but it's a nice watch if you want something healing relaxing yet heartbreaking at times..you will laugh and cry but it will all be worthwhile....so please don't mind the ratings and give it a chance yourself.....

UNEXPECTED BUT AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Oh no her comes trouble had been a really amazing watch from the very first episode to the last, I loved how the plot was different and unique, it was emotional and soul ful and defined something to learn from, it remained consistent and dint have any unnecessary side plots or content, the plot was entertaining and scary but at the same time funny and the writer pulled it off with no diversion from the original plot and making sure it didn't get messy so this kind of drama plot gets a solid 10/10 from me.❤️

The acting was so good from all the characters even the supports, it was natural and not forced and all the three leads had amazing chemistry with one another❤️

Among the characters despite loving all three I just loved and adored the first male lead Pu yiyong he was such a sweet heart could appear dumb but was funny and carefree and kind...a break from all the dramatic cold male lead characters
Next was the female lead, she was a mixture of sweet and warm, he character was a literal sunshine but helpful at the same time.
The second male lead was well suited for his character as well

This drama had hidden lessons to learn from each episode and the more you watched the more your heart would feel attached to it...it made me cry. laugh, feel angry and scared and shocked with all the plot twists but it was that good.

I highly recommend this Taiwanese drama if you want some thing unique different yet interesting and entertaining ❤️

PS: WOULD LOVE A SEASON TWO IF POSSIBLE 💖😸

Those ratings are foul, this deserves more love.

"Confidence Woman" is a crime comedy that cleverly blends humor with the thrill of the con, offering a fresh take on the vigilante genre. The show centers around a trio of con artists who target the wealthy elite who exploit their fortunes for nefarious purposes. This premise immediately sets the stage for a narrative filled with both suspense and social commentary, as the audience is invited to root for characters who operate outside the law but within a moral gray area.

The strength of "Confidence Woman" lies in its well-developed characters. Yirang, the female lead, is the brains of the operation, portrayed with captivating complexity. Her meticulous planning and sociopathic tendencies are balanced by a hidden depth, keeping viewers engaged and eager to uncover more about her. The performance by Park Minyoung seems to be a highlight, effectively capturing the character's confidence and hidden vulnerabilities. James, the master of disguise, adds a dynamic element to the team. His ability to transform into various personas is not only entertaining but also crucial to the success of their cons. Park Hae-soo, known for his villainous roles, brings a refreshing twist to his character, showcasing versatility. Guho, the youngest member, provides a contrasting personality with his kindness and compassion. The interplay between these three characters creates a compelling dynamic that drives the story forward.

The acting across the board is impressive, with the cast skillfully portraying multiple roles throughout the heists. The expressive performances enhance the comedic elements and the emotional depth of the characters.

Character driven perfection

Why I'm Still Single" masterfully blends rom-com charm with slice-of-life storytelling, cleverly using familiar tropes to create a fresh and engaging experience. The series follows Yuyu, an architect nearing forty and contentedly single, whose life unexpectedly intersects with a doctor, leading to a clash of personalities and ideologies. Their journey, however, reveals unexpected similarities, fostering a mature romance filled with humor, slice-of-life moments, and genuine emotional depth.

The show's strength lies in Yuyu's character. Initially presented as somewhat obnoxious due to his strong principles, Yuyu's bluntness and dedication to his work gradually give way to vulnerability and loneliness. His character arc is compelling, not through drastic transformation, but through a refined understanding of himself. The series invites viewers to empathize with his perspective, offering a deep dive into the reasons behind his single status.

The show also gives us an equally compelling female lead. She's a breath of fresh air: mature, hardworking, and warm. Her calm and soft-spoken nature perfectly complements Yuyu's intensity. She is immediately likable, offering a patient presence that allows Yuyu to grow and discover himself. She embraces his flaws, fostering a connection that's both endearing and insightful.

Their chemistry is a highlight, evolving from playful bickering to moments of deep understanding, culminating in a well-earned romance.

The supporting characters add further depth, each with their own compelling stories that enrich the plot. While the pacing might seem slow initially, it allows the series to build a sense of warmth and intimacy that rewards patience.

Ultimately, "Why I'm Still Single" offers a rich tapestry of comedy, romance, and introspection. It's a show that invites you to warm up to its characters, appreciate their flaws, and celebrate their growth.

MIXED EMOTIONS!

The depth and emotions of this season were incredible. While I'm not sure what ending we all anticipated, a part of me always believed the game would never truly end. These individuals had been trapped in it for years. Perhaps with a stroke of luck, they could have been taken out, but it wasn't just one person; the game's longevity felt inevitable. The most heartbreaking aspect was the hope—the hope for change—which we learned the hard way was sometimes unattainable. Honestly, it felt realistic, which isn't always what people want, but it resonated with the rawness of the situation.

I'm still reeling from the deaths. They were more aggressive, brutal, and emotionally charged this season, leaving me in tears. The characters felt closer, making their losses even more painful. It was clear the writer was wrapping things up, not rushing but still leaving us hanging, as if to say, "It's done, that's it."

It's the end of an era, and I, for one, had a fantastic time with the series. I'm eagerly awaiting the next global sensation from the world of K-dramas. It was amazing to have a K-drama to discuss with friends who didn't even know what a K-drama was! Finally, the ending hinted at a US version, but I'm not keen on it. I'd rather this remain a K-drama thing. I hate to sound selfish, but let them enjoy their moment in the spotlight.

AN UNDERRATED MASTER PIECE

I started this after some ones recommendation and trust me iam banging my head as to why I didn't watch this awesome drama earlier, these days youth dramas feel repititive to me atleast iam not really a fan but this won me over in an instant.

Why did I love Run for young?

1.The story
This was a story about youth, family, dreams, sorrows, emotions literally everything in one drama, I love how it maintained is pace at the same time blending both humour and emotions because I did cry alot while watching this but at the same time laughed alot it was consistent unpredictable for a youth drama, felt real and relatable literally a master piece

2.The cast
Male lead was my favourite character in the entire series, love how he was written a cheerful, strait forward and loving male character, he really screamed youth with his behaviour attitude, I enjoyed seeing him grow and have all these Character development not to forget he felt natural in his way of acting all his emotions felt real, whether it's crying or laughing he really ate up his role and left absolutely no crumbs
Female lead (Zhang jingyi ) this has to be my third drama of hers and trust me she suprised me every time, this has to be one of her first projects she looked younger but I must say I absolutely loved her acting.
The leads had amazing chemistry, natural realistic that kind of chemistry...hope to see them in a sequel or a new drama together

The other characters were absolutely amazing too
The ending was a happy one but left me screaming I want more please give us a sequel Ill definitely watch it

I recommend this drama if you love youth themed dramas but with a touch of reality family and whole lots of emotions...this took its place as my second favourite youth drama after Lovely us....thanks to all that were involved in making it I know I watched it late but absolutely loved every moment of it ☺️

Still definitely one of the best thrillers this year....

See my arms? Yeah, those are goosebumps  all because of this drama. Manipulated is one of those rare shows where you get a star-dusted cast, an airtight script, and rich, high-quality production all working in perfect harmony.

The story follows an ordinary man whose entire world collapses after he’s framed for a murder he didn’t commit. What begins as a single act of deceit spirals into a devastating chain of losses, pushing him into the darkest chapter of his life. We follow him through every stage from the moment his fate twists, to the heartbreaking realization that his arrest was all part of a carefully crafted manipulation. And when he finally discovers the truth, revenge becomes not just a goal but his entire driving force.

This show is riveting. Do not look away even for a second because you will miss something. It is the type of series that keeps you glued to the edge of your seat: thrilling, action-packed, and absolutely devourable.

As expected, the cast delivers performances nothing short of impeccable. Ji Chang Wook proves once again why he’s hailed as the King of Action. His portrayal of Taejoon is not just impressive it’s transformative. We watch Taejoon begin as an ordinary, hardworking man living a simple yet beautiful life. Then everything shatters. Once framed and imprisoned, he becomes timid, terrified, and lost stripped of his will to live. But that fragility doesn’t last.
We see him rebuild himself piece by piece mentally and physically fueled by pain, hatred, desperation, and the raw urge to survive. His growth is so layered that you don’t just sympathize with him; you root for him with everything you’ve got. Watching him evolve is one of the most gripping parts of the show.

And then there’s Do Kyungsoo, shining brilliantly as Yohan the cold, calculating antagonist behind the manipulation. He is smart, unhinged (just a little… or maybe a lot), and terrifyingly strategic. He weaponizes money, fear, and people’s weaknesses effortlessly, and he feels no remorse while doing it.

Taejoon and Yohan are each other’s sworn enemies two forces created to clash. It’s almost like facing a version of yourself that you never meant to create, but now you have to destroy. They’re not yin and yang; they’re two storms on a collision course.

FINAL REVIEW:

The finale was satisfactory enough except for some unanswered questions and the potential teaser for a second season. The action sequences were well-executed, delivering brutal yet captivating scenes where justice prevailed. While the pace was fast, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Manipulated' is binge-worthy, packed with action, and features a compelling story with great performances. It's easily one of the best thrillers of the year.

Painfully beautiful, realistic and poetic

"What comes After Love" is a melancholic drama that tells the poignant story of two people reuniting years after their breakup. The narrative skillfully transports us back to a time when their love was vibrant and full of hope, only to bring us back to the present, where a sense of gloom hangs over their lives.

I truly love the vibe of the series; it strikes a delicate balance between uplifting flashbacks and heart-wrenching present-day moments. The emotional and melancholic atmosphere is what connects me to this drama the most. As I watch, I find myself deeply affected by the storyline, feeling both the characters' pain and the joy from their past together. It's an emotional rollercoaster that keeps you engaged.

The characters are portrayed exceptionally well. I appreciate how the story centers on just the two of them, allowing us to witness their struggles and emotions as they navigate their reunion after so long. Each episode presenting one character's point of view adds an intimate layer to the narrative, helping us understand their feelings on a deeper level.

The acting is undoubtedly impressive. Both leads excel at conveying their emotions, with silent yet powerful expressions that capture the heartbreak and longing they experience post-breakup. It's painful to watch yet beautifully executed. The chemistry between the leads is remarkable; even after their separation, the tension stemming from their shared past is palpable.

The dialogue is so good, and most of it is relatable, tugging at the heartstrings. It really adds to the emotional depth of the story and makes the characters feel real. I love how the conversations reflect their struggles and feelings, making it easy to connect with them. It’s definitely one of the highlights of the series!

I really enjoyed their journey of exploring the heartbreaks that come after love. The series skillfully captures the essence of their past and present, and it’s intriguing to see how they navigate their feelings and the complexities of their relationship. The emotional depth kept me hooked throughout the entire series.

The ending was okay..for some reason it felt short..it din't really feel like they both solved anything between them but rather just decided that time must have healed all wounds and solved all problems..I wish they focussed more on building their relationship in the future rather than the flashbacks in the past but other than the ending this was a great drama.

Overall, "What comes After Love" is a compelling exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human emotions. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt drama that resonates on so many levels.

Joining him on this journey is his ex-girlfriend, Jaemi, a woman who dreams of starting a family but is confronted with premature menopause that threatens that dream.

This chaotic journey also includes Jaemi's soon-to-be husband, who is determined to bring her back. Together, these characters embark on a memorable journey filled with unexpected twists. The plot may seem chaotic at first, but the execution is brilliant. I loved how the story strikes the perfect balance between comedy and emotional scenes that truly tug at the heartstrings.

We then have a host of interesting side characters that add depth and charm to the story. The acting was undoubtedly amazing; I loved the natural portrayal of emotions from the characters, which allowed me to bond with them on a deeper level. The chemistry between the leads was absolutely captivating—they shared a familiarity that felt genuine, and their sensual tension, along with their playful bickers and banters, was delightful to watch. I didn't expect them to have this much chemistry, but it was lovely to see.

The drama also incorporated some dark comedy elements that lightened the mood, making the emotional moments even more impactful. The ending was sad yet beautifully written; it left me so emotionally attached that I felt my heart drop as the final scenes unfolded.

Do I recommend this? Absolutely! If you're looking for something beautifully written, refreshing, with interesting characters and amazing dynamics and chemistry, then "Mr. Plankton" is for you. Just be prepared for the ending. Overall, it was a beautiful watch that I will remember for a long time.
