100 Days is Not Enough...
Overall 9/10🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐
Really good!
Watched this in two parts - first part being episode 1 to 12 and then part 2 being episode 12 to 16. Honestly worth the watch, the actors were absolutely amazing and the production and music - chef's kiss! There are definitely scenes where you have to have your tissue box ready but it makes for a good show. All my favourite dramas make me cry at some point during the show, that's how you know it's good. The plot is really well written and the show is paced really well too, highly recommend!

Interesting for sure but not great.
Overall 6/10🌟🌟🌟
Interesting for sure but not great. I love the actors in this movie however the plot just wasn't giving what I was expecting it to give. The actors portrayed their characters really well and the overall production of the movie is amazing. Good plot twist but overall a bit boring.

GRUMPY X SUNSHINE
Overall 8/10🌟🌟🌟🌟
I loved the dynamic between the main leads, it is so fun to watch!
Grumpy X Sunshine trope, Forbidden Love trope along with swapped bodies! haha
The drama is visually gorgeous and the characters are all so special to me (those directly to do with Orchid and Dongfang Qingcang).
Be prepared to cry nearing the end as it gets really intense and emotional. Esther Yu, my girl does not disappoint and I really enjoyed seeing Dylan act alongside her! Chinese OSTs never cease to amaze me, honestly it just leaves me in awe every time. There is a moment at the end of episode 18 that is unforgettably cute!
Overall very enjoyable however the ending felt a bit washed out? It just felt like sacrifices happened for no reason and honestly I prefer a well written sad ending over a nonsensical happy ending for the sake of a happy ending.
(Shangque my cutie 🐉 also the hanfu are so incredibly pretty here, every piece Esther wears is just absolutely stunning on her.)🤍

Not worth it
Overall 5/10🌟🌟⭐
Honestly don't have that much to say. Not great but not bad. The plot itself was a bit ridiculous, I felt like the characters were all really dumb (especially FL). The movie addresses the dangers of the secondhand online market which I appreciate however the female lead stressed me out so much. The way she handles the situations made me feel like she had no common sense. The acting and production was good, but overall not worth watching.

Predictable...
Overall 7/10🌟🌟🌟⭐
It's a sad movie as one would expect. However, it just didn't really get to me as much as I was hoping it would. I watched Drawing Closer hoping it would make me cry a lot but it was not as sad as I had hoped. Everything that happened was expected and I didn't like the trope they added at the very end with the friend. I would have enjoyed the movie a bit more without it. I'd recommend watching the movie without any expectations in order to enjoy it more. Overall it was really good, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had in mind hence the lower rating.

Good portrayal of depression.
Overall 8/10🌟🌟🌟🌟
The drama is very captivating at first as I was really invested however I ended up dropping it towards the end for a few months before watching the last episode! Doesn't really stand out among the other dramas of 2024, however I really enjoyed the character development and relationships portrayed. Dr. Slump successfully showed how depression can seem like a blow out of nowhere for the person diagnosed. One can be so used to bottling up that it doesn't even become apparent to oneself that you are mentally unwell and tired. I appreciated how they showed her healing process and that depression is not something to be scared of. The drama can be a bit cringe at times but overall the drama was really good. Would definitely recommend watching!

Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi my cuties
Overall very enjoyable.The first 16 episodes are enjoyable and engaging. The episodes after that feel like a drag, nothing exciting happens and it feels like nothing is really moving forward however, the last few episodes make up for it. Chu Li and Zhou Chuan's relationship and dynamic is so beautiful and fun to watch. I liked how Chu Li was able to pursue her dream of being an editor due to her persistence and determination to prove herself and work hard. Zhou Chuan's relationship with his father is also something that was beautifully cultivated and grown as the story progressed. A reminder that communication is utterly important! All the characters were well written and each character had something to learn from as you watch. The soundtrack is absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend watching!

Zerobaseone origin story
Overall 9/10🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
I don't even know where to start...
This was my first survival show and I watched it although I knew the final line up! Nonetheless, EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL. Guys this was one heck of a ride... You need to make sure to have tissues ready for each episode if you are an emotional person like me. I was not able to get through a single episode without crying at some point. The hardwork and effort you see from the trainees... Beautiful! Each elimination round got me super emotional but nothing tops the finale. (I watched the finale in 3 parts...ahaha but still managed to cry each time.) I am so proud of my boys Zerobaseone and I love them so so much!!
I cannot give this show a higher score purely because of emotional damage lol and I can't give it lower because it was such an investing program.)
Would only recommend if you are willing to watch 2+ hours episode and go through emotional rollercoasters!🥰

Beautiful Chaos
Overall 10/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Short but impactful! A good reminder of how hard doctors work and how important they are to us. Some of it felt a bit exaggerated however I don't mind as it made sure that you are constantly on the edge of your seat! I really enjoyed Dr. Han's character development and everyone involved with our main lead Dr. Baek Kang
Huge respect for all medical staff, especially those involved in the trauma department. Highly recommend!! (Despite not being able to handle blood and surgery scenes I watched the entire drama because its so engaging.)

Hei-Bai Fengxi = best duo
Overall 11/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
Who Rules The World is such an incredible drama! I truly enjoyed the entire experience of watching this. 40 episodes were enough but I would have loved even more! I feel that shows just how good the drama is. I was an absolute trainwreck during some of the final episodes but I truly enjoyed it! Following the story of Hei-Bai Fengxi was so fun and just the development of the characters blew me away. Zhao Lusi has yet again showed me that she is such an amazing actress and I have yet to watch a drama of hers that does not impress me. Yang Yang also brought his character Feng Lanxi to life in such a way that I could not help but fall in love. The plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat and the slow/forbidden romance is to die for!
Highly, highly recommend watching!!

Camera? ATE
Overall 10/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I really enjoyed Blue Birthday, especially after having watched Lovely Runner. It has the same time traveling concept in order to save the male lead. However, I enjoyed this more as the plot was more put together through to the end. One thing to take note of as well is that each episode is around 20mins! This drama is not a romcom, I enjoyed it for the way the mystery is solved and how the time travel topic is done. Yeri does not disappoint and Hongseok...well I think I fell in love!🤭

They "My Demon-ed" it...
Overall 7/10🌟🌟🌟⭐
This was an incredible drama up until the last two episodes for me personally. The ending felt very rushed. The Argan scene felt quite out of place despite the writers using that to stay true to the novel. In my personal opinion I would have omitted it from the drama. The Argan plotline should have been more developed for it to feel like it was necessary and for that the drama would need more than 12 episodes, however that may have been too much. I definitely do not regret watching When The Phone Rings because it had me HOOKED for weeks! Just disappointed with the ending, however I loved the side characters stories being wrapped up nicely. Overall it is worth the watch!

Captivating and fun drama!
Overall 10/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is such a captivating story and I truly enjoyed it! If you liked AOS you will most likely enjoy LGIEF.
I liked how this story blended and blurred the lines of reality and fantasy as the show nears the end. The cinematography is absolutely stunning and the actors were outstanding! I discovered the beautiful Esther Yu in this and look forward to more of her in other works. The highlight of the show is definitely Cui Cui for me! As much as I loved everyone else Cui Cui became my overall favorite apart from Miao Miao and Ziqi <3
The ending was average but everything else makes up for it. It ends on a good note. :)
Highly recommend watching!💞
