Multiple love trails hehe
Overall 10/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
An incredible drama! This is definitely my favourite fantasy Chinese drama if not my top favourite after Hidden Love!!!
(I have since watched LGIEF and mwah) Everything about this drama was so alluring and I truly fell in love with all the characters. The concept of falling in love in seven life times was so beautiful to me and I loved every lifetime. The side characters also really brought the whole story together, every single life time was captivating. However, my favourite life was definitely the life in which they went to the demon realm! (I started the drama because of Ryan Ding but stayed watching because of Yang Chaoyue.) I HIGHLY recommend watching this especially if you love fantasy dramas. It is so stunningly beautiful from costumes to the set to the ost... I truly appreciate everything about the production of Love You Seven Times!
(Definitely my favourite OST of all the C-dramas I've watched)

A fun show if you don't take it too serious!
Dynamite Kiss!🎇Overall 8/10
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dynamite Kiss was definitely an enjoyable show to watch. The last two episodes were overloaded with kdrama cliches, I almost lost my mind, but despite that super fun. We start with an intense wedding crash and debt collectors, and a memorable trip to Jeju. Darim wants to avoid seeming pathetic in front of an ex and meets Ji-hyeok. Urgent news sends her back in a rush, and in desperation, she lies to get a job. Was it worth lying? You'll have to watch and see! Adorable SFL and Kim Jun steal the show for me, just hoping SML wakes up and sees what he is missing! (There are some plot holes that I found annoying which is why it stayed at a consistent 8/10 for me as we reached the end.)
After the show ends, we get a fun bonus credit scene where the actors are shown, and I really loved that small but fun section to fully wrap up and part with the show! Thanks for the fun Dynamite Kiss!!
NOTE: If you were looking for something serious this is NOT the drama for you! It's a fun drama and it doesn't make all that much sense but it's fun-loving and enjoyable if you watch it without taking it seriously! Just have fun!)

What happens when you wake up back to reality!?
Overall 6.5/10🌟🌟🌟
A time-loop and an immature protagonist, what could possibly go wrong!?
Earth, the protagonist, is stuck in a time loop and continues making selfish choices during that cycle. Once the cycle is broken, he is stuck with the consequences of his decisions and has to deal with the mess he created.
Overall, the movie is alright—a good time killer—but I wouldn't recommend it as a first choice. The vibes are fun and silly in the movie's first half, and then more serious as the cleanup of Earth's actions is played out.
Rak is an enduring character, and I loved seeing him on screen. (To have a friend like Rak is such a blessing tbh)
That's it from me,
ENJOY!

Overall 9/10🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐
Wow...I don't know where to start. The last episode left me speechless.
#givemymanyoonsieunabreak?✋
Honestly, it's all just so sad. The friendship and the split...How simple misunderstandings and misperceptions can utterly ruin people. The pure despair- everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was overwhelming good. The actors did an absolutely fantastic job portraying their characters - there was not a single moment that I felt this didn't suit the character. Park Jihoon...wow, wow, wow! He made me feel every emotion through his acting, I've never felt so affected by the emotions and feelings of a character. There is so much I could talk about, but the show speaks for itself. Highly recommend watching this. I finished it in 2 sittings!
!!POTENTIAL SPOILER!!
Note:
(Beomseok is a very easily misunderstood character. Nothing he did is justified but I just can't hate him.)

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!🥰

Sweet like chocolate! ^_^
Overall 9.5/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Just finished this and couldn't wait to post a review!!
Such a sweet ending, goes so well with the theme of chocolate happiness. The cameos at the end were a pleasant surprise making the last episode all the more fun. Loved the chemistry between the characters and just everyone portrayed the smallest details with care. I loved this! Han Hye-Joo did an amazing job as Lee Hana - I was fully immersed in the drama. I haven't watched many Japanese dramas but the more I watch the more I appreciate their style of storytelling. The pacing felt perfectly smooth. Highly recommend!! Why a 9.5 out of 10 you may ask...well I loved it so so much but it's not able to top some of my 10/10s!
A truly sweet treat!🥰🍫
(Also the child actor that played young Sosuke is SO CUTE and expressive!!!)

Spirit Fingers!💙✨Overall 10/10
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I really enjoyed Spirit Fingers!! It's a perfectly paced feel-good drama. Each character felt so unique and I felt like I could connect to everyone. Red Finger (Nam Gijeong) my beloved - I will miss him so much. The pookiest pookie ever! I loved the friendships and how they felt so authentic. 12 episodes felt perfect - I will agree that episode 12 was a but rushed, but it didn't feel like it was missing anything, which is why I loved it and why I feel like the pacing was perfect! It doesn't have to make perfect sense; it's a story with a feel-good ending! (What's not to love!?) I'd be super happy to see a second season but also very content if it ends here! SP taught me so much and I'm sure you'll learn a lot too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!✨

Can't Wait For Part 2!
Had I Not Seen the Sun 🦋(Part 1)
Overall 10/10
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
So captivating... Once I started watching, I could not stop. The story tells us about Li Jen Yao, a serial killer. What made him do it? How did he get to that point? Who is the girl in the school uniform? Why did she appear? The show keeps pulling you in. Everything about this drama was exceptional, truly cinematic. The actors left me in awe, everything felt so real...
This was only part 1, but I cannot wait for part 2!
Highly, highly recommend!

Silly? Yes. Serious? Also yes... Worth the watch? Sure...
Overall 7/10🌟🌟🌟⭐
Killer soundtrack and amazing cast! The drama was entertaining, however, there were a lot of plot holes that ruined the overall vibe at the end. Jeong Haeseong was something else, brother was running off pure adrenaline towards the end - it was crazy! Oh Su-ah has a heart of gold. I loved that she did her best to protect the kids, even if some of her methods were questionable. The NIS squad is what brought the show together. Without their comedic relief, I would have likely dropped the show. I liked that they gave us a glimpse of some of the kids' futures at the end.
Special mention: The actress who portrayed Seo Myeong Ju stole the show; her acting was truly convincing - by far my favourite and most complex character in the show. (I hated the character but loved the portrayal.)
Extra note:
Watching this on VIKI with timed comments was crazy - the comments were lowkey unhinged!

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.)
