a bloody family history erased by the power of love ?
finished 9/10 ✨One of the dramas I was most looking forward to in 2025. Overall, I really liked it. It highlighted the main couple, who were very well executed in terms of chemistry and development 👏
Liu Yuning is an actor with whom I had the pleasure of seeing previous works, in my opinion he never disappoints and is one of those whose historical roles fit him like a glove
It's the first time I've seen a song zuer and that fell in love not only with her beauty but with her facial expressions... She has the gift of showing you every facet in a very eloquent way and that is not done by any actress
As for the script, I will say that I liked the first part of the story the most... There were some chapters where the filler predominated and the ending seemed very rushed... But it is very enjoyable.
Special mention to the ost which was phenomenal 💗

A journey through the battle between humans and demons
Finished 8.5/10 🌟*long review*
What a trip I had with #loveinpavilion
If I'm honest, my main reason for watching this drama was for the supporting roles and I was afraid of finding a boring story, However, I found that I enjoyed the overview more than I expected 👀
Now, let's get to what I liked most:
1) The protagonists, although they had criticism about their chemistry or their acting, I really liked them and enjoyed their moments both individually as individuals... I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing them perform before so I will try to look for more projects from both of them in the future 👏
2) The secondary characters were my main motivation and they didn't disappoint me.
The interesting thing is that most of them they achieved quite a bit of relevance after the drama was recorded, so in terms of strategy I feel that helped a lot.
I will make a special mention to my king Ding Yuxi who for me had the best cameo of all (I say this very objectively) he managed to exceed my expectations 👏✨
3) The special effects and the ost, I must say that they have been my favorites, they were in agreement and managed to capture each of the scenes
Now I'm going to talk about what I didn't like about the drama:
1) I feel it was poorly edited, at times there were scene jumps that left me confused and somewhat dazed
2) I feel like the number of episodes took its toll on them.
36 episodes weren't enough. A drama of this caliber deserved at least 50 episodes. They also wasted their time on the scenes, super lazy and silly.
3) There were characters that bored me to death, characters that drove me crazy, arcs that made me sleepy, and some really ugly costumes 😂
The good thing is that this was told so it didn't ruin my beautiful eyes
Having said all this, I have to be honest:
I knew what to expect and I'm not going to start criticizing it because everything was said in this story being a prequel.
There were actions I would have preferred to have been addressed differently, but I'm satisfied with the overall result.
This concludes this trip. 👏💗

a story of women and revenge ?
Finished 9/10 🌟(long review)
I had a tremendous personal journey with this drama 😅
Between my work, waiting for the episodes to be translated, and avoiding spoilers... finally! I can say I've finished it!
Now let's get to the important stuff ⤵️
Overall, the story was very good.
It's NOT a romantic drama at all, so if you're looking for that, I recommend you skip it.
This story is 100% focused on its main protagonist and his journey through lies, secrets and dangers to find what he loves.
Chen Duling is an actress I'd only previously seen in TTEOTM, and while she never stood out to me, I feel like she nailed this character and gave a magnificent performance. 👏
Xin Yunlai had seen him in TLOSL as a secondary character, I really liked how he acted here... although his wardrobe was criticized and the fact that he doesn't have the "face for the historical ones" I feel that he brought out his character and he did it very well. 👏
SPECIAL MENTION TO:
Wen Zheng Rong 👏👏👏👏👏
A tremendous actress, my goodness, a supporting character who captured my heart 💓
That woman deserves all the recognition in the world.
Xiwen's character took me on a great journey full of emotions.
I still suffer with her fate. 😭💔
What I didn't like about the drama:
The last 10 episodes were kind of mediocre for me.
I think the excitement of the first part of the plot was lost a bit.
The ending left me unsatisfied. I think these endings open to interpretation are in trend, but the truth is, I hate it.
I still enjoyed it, and it'll be a drama I'll remember fondly. 👏
Wonderful work. 🙌

A journey into martial arts and poisonous potions
finished 9/10 🌟I DEMAND MY SECOND SEASON HOW ARE THEY GOING TO LEAVE THAT ENDING LIKE THAT?! 😭
apart from that...
I must say that in general it has become one of my favorite historical dramas 💖
it has been my favorite so far... It has been so far my favorite characters of Esther Yu and Zhang Linghe 👏
On top of that, their chemistry was 10/10 🔥
I liked the script even though it had its boring parts
The fight scenes were my favorites, I loved the entire visual effect of the drama from its direction, photography to the costumes, which I must say are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
I thought I would like the supporting characters from the edits I had seen but they were super meh for me
I liked his character on an individual level but I had a hard time connecting with her
her ending was also super open but if I'm honest I cared very little
Although it took me a while to watch it because of my lack of time, I really enjoyed the story

The story of a woman and her journey through flowers!
finished 9.5/10 🌟first part of flourished peony
i have loved each and every aspect of this drama
mudan's personal journey has been one of the most painful but also one of the most beautiful i have seen... a drama focused mainly on women who fight day after day to be independent and fulfill their dreams
Yangzi's performance touched me deep in the heart ❤️
Lixian with perfect charisma and a character to fear has given me a character that I loved with all my being 🤍
beautiful music, incredible scenery, heartbreaking, impressive and harmonious scenes... a cast that was up to par
i don't give it a full score because personally the last two chapters were filler although that doesn't take away from the magnificence I was
anxious for time to pass to see the second part 👏✨

medical trauma team in action!
finished 9.5/10 🌟👏Netflix started off strong this 2025!
I'm not a big fan of medical kdramas but this one in particular became my favorite of the genre! a medical team headed by a particular trauma doctor, a young inexperienced doctor and a tough nurse ✨
I love stories where each chapter leads a different plot without losing the drama scene as suchAction, suspense and touches of comedy a perfect package!
I didn't give it a full rating because there were a couple of scenes that bored me.
But if I'm honest, it's one of the few premieres that saved the K-drama premieres this January!
I recommend it 100% 🤍

I will only say these words:MASTERPIECE!!!! 🚬
1000/1000
Beautiful story, well-crafted script, just the right amount of action, suspense and intrigue.
praying that the protagonists have another drama together in the future 🙏❤️
Each character was well cared for, each scene well planned, you could feel the pain, confusion and adrenaline of each of the characters.
15 well-summarized chapters, never felt like filler scenes or unnecessary arguments... this drama deserves much more recognition!

short crazy story!
finished 8.5/10 ✨Overall I liked it, it had very funny scenes and its theme seemed similar to extraordinary you in terms of the change of scenes and scripts... if I'm honest I like Nam Ja Yeom personality that of the protagonist of the spinoff I also like the personality of like gyu hyun that of the protagonist of the spinoff but it was excellent to pass the while.
I hope Lee Sangyi and Han Jihyun have another drama together in the future where they can shine more because they have great chemistry 💯

reunion after 10 years!
finished 8/10 💞✨The main couple was excellent, I also liked the secondary couple.
hooyoung as a character was my favorite a big green flag 😍
The script and the number of chapters was the big problem here.
Some things ended very quickly and needed better explanation.
The character of the mother and the ex-boyfriend were unnecessary and irrelevant to me.
The ending was bittersweet, I liked it in some ways and not in others.
I hope the main actors can reunite in another project in the future 🙏

action packed melodrama!
finished 8.5/10 💞✨In general the story was good, a classic melodrama full of intrigue and suspense
The majority of the cast did a great job, Rain's performance stood out 👏✨
The action role looks amazing on him... Haneul also did a good job for me although she was criticized for being stoic and cold... I personally feel like her character was designed to be that way.
The ost was very good and the scenery was not bad.
The ending was realistic, which I liked. It removed a couple of scenes that could have been written differently, but everything together gave a good closure.

story of improvement!
I really wanted to see this cdrama because of the different reviews I had read!I'll be honest, it's not just a romantic story, it focuses more on personal improvement and appreciating family.
Although I love stories like these, I felt that sometimes the script deviated a little, the leading couple was a 10/10 💞 in terms of chemistry but a 7/10 in development above all in the last two chapters adding those twists that left me ????
but in general a passable story with an ost full of very beautiful songs and beautiful settings ✨

the absolute queen!
finished 8.5/10 ✨💞a drama that not many liked because of its high sexual content and scenes of violence.
However, I really liked it... I highlight the performances of Changwook and Jeon Jong Seo who were fundamental pieces in the game for me.
Excellent setting, great sets, very well made costumes and a great script.
If I had something to criticize it would be the ending, I was missing a couple of chapters to explain what happened in the final war and not leave it so open but in general very good 👏

THE WEAK HERO IS BACK ?
Finished 9.5/10 🌟What a ride we had with Weak Hero Class 2.
I think it was one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
Honestly, I liked it more than I thought, and it met most of my expectations.
If I'm honest, I was afraid that Netflix would get their hands on the project... But they managed to maintain the story's core:
fighting, friendship, strategy, and drama
all with memorable characters 👏
I want to highlight two performances:
Ryeo, how Baku was 1000/1000, what an incredible character, I fell in love with him the first time I saw him 🤩
Another one who stood out for me was Lee Jun Young.
I don't understand why he doesn't get more recognition.
This man can act ANYTHING. 👏
I admire him so much. He truly deserves all the good things. 🫶
I don't give it a 10 because there were a couple of fights I saw on X2 that bored me a little, I admit, but the rest was great.
I love you whc 🫂💓

100% action and intrigue
finished 9.5/10 ✨💞a story that I really wanted to see... honorable mention to the performance of ji sung, a great actor with an enormous career who deserves all the credit 👏
The rest of the cast also did an incredible job.
14 chapters that summarized the story well, in the end living up to its name, connection... everything in the end was connected
There was only one small detail that I didn't like in the ending and I would have liked more development but overall a great job ✨

A story of marriage, anxiety and a suitcase
finished 8.5/10 🌟A story full of nuances, it talks about mental health, anxiety and the pain of loss... all wrapped up in a thriller and suspense plot.
What I liked most was the chemistry of the protagonists, although it is not a strictly romantic drama, each and every one of their scenes together was felt
Individually they also had their merits, I liked the references to how humans feel when they suffer from anxiety, hallucinations and substance abuse ✨👏
What I didn't like was that at the end it focused more on the murder, and the chapters seemed excessively long to me and I watched some scenes at x2 speed.
It's not a story for everyone, but it's good for passing the time.
