The way I scrolled looking for my people who review dramas not based on popularity 😂😂 I panicked when I…
Thanks for your kind words. I try to be fair rather than jump on the hype train. ;) I'm afraid like all mass consumption products, it goes through trends. Youth drama was definitely more popular then.
"Found it!" That was my actual scream when I randomly scrolled through the review section and the MDL…
Thank you for your kind words, @Nelly! I wish I can comment on Song Luo but it has been a long time since I watched it and I only have vague recall of the show. I do remember the fireworks scene where they had their first kiss! :) The other characters are very hazy by now.
I’ve finally managed to put into words what’s been bothering me about Wanna Be. After watching My Fated Boy,…
Hear! Hear! This series certainly has merits. Least of all our dear leads and their romance but the rest feels cobbled together. Nothing is fully explored. Plots just mill around and consume screen time. BTW, I don't have a problem with the 2ML pursuing the aunt but do something with it. Let them be happy or break them up. Even at the end of ep.29 I am still none the wiser. :p Thanks for your insightful comments, @y

I totally agree that it is tropes lite and an easy watch. I just can't quite shake the feeling that they danced around some topics but doesn't really drill down. They took the safe path.
Beautiful articulated.As someone who have experienced this topic closely (a former colleague) this drama gave…
Yes, it can be the last option for some. Very sad. It is always a mystery how their censor system works. It can be very obvious or inexplicably obtuse.
You expressed perfectly how I felt about the "romance" - very weird. Definitely FL would need to sort herself…
Yes, you are correct. It is like someone had a lightbulb moment but they just can't workshop a plausible romantic story with the cards they are dealt. :p They should have walked away at the table reading stage.

Yes, I'd agree too. That's partly my point. They are producing shows that is for a smallish target market so they can focus on topics that resonate with them. However, this is a double edged sword. When they are seen by a broader audience, it can feel insular or too colloquial. It might not appeal to everyone.
I tried this drama but I think I judged the FL quick..it's one thing to be cold,it's another to be frozen..I went…
Ahh, personal taste is the final arbitrator. ;) I have started shows that others raved about and found them wanting and vice versa. If my review helped you to dispell some of your concerns then by all means give it another go. However, if it doesn't click with you the first time, it might not ever. No biggie, it is only dramas. ;)
I don't remember what I didn't like about this one but I think there was something..By the time the Trailer was…
Yes, the writer-nim did play it safe. It was the role reversal that pulled me in. Their chemistry kept me watching. It was enjoyable without being amazing. ;) Well, if it was 36 eps, there would be even more tropes! Be careful what you wish for. LoL
