SO FLUFFY CUTE AND CONCISE

July 7, 2022

Waw another Jdrama checked off my ever-growing list. Needless to say, I finished this drama in just one sitting since I waited for it to finish airing before starting... 😈

Let's get on to it:
- the chemistry between the leads is top tier, I really like the younger guy holy shit. His sex appeal and charisma are just chef's kiss. And yes, you are very seductive mah booi.
- I feel like the relationship and the progress into getting to it were not perfect and smooth. There were some sluggish parts and some miscommunication? Well, to be honest, I am not sure if it is miscommunication, it is more like the lack of wanting to communicate and staying silent was the problem? Anyway, that was something that was dealt with quickly so I don't think it will be much of a bother towards the other audience
- plot-wise, I think it is pretty adequate in the sense that there was no boring part. Just to clarify since I said sluggish in the previous bullet point. I mean like there was sluggishness in the progress of getting into their relationship. But like the episodes were not sluggish... It's a little confusing to explain but I think once you watch the series you might get this point.
- this show gave me so many butterflies and like those little gestures and glances... ackdkjdkfjkdj
- I need to sue the directors for making this drama too short like I am actually gonna cry. I NEED MORE, LIKE PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY I WANT MORE



Also, I actually wanna emphasize how most J-dramas or maybe it's just the J-dramas I came across recently are based in younger adults or middle age settings. I actually love this direction, as much as I am a sucker for the high school or college/uni series. I am lividly looking forward to these types of dramas, maybe I am just getting exhausted with eating up all the uni dramas... or maybe it is because I am aging... maybe I should do that "anti-aging process"... but I need to find a guy who wants to that with me first... uh... oh well... 😭

Short but actually has some depth

April 18, 2022

Whoa, I finished another drama just 2 days before my Patho final. 😬

Kamisama no Ekohiiki is so good, I love how they talked about a lot of things. The characters' development is just chef's kiss. I am so happy with how they concluded everything. Though I wish they wrapped more nicely, I feel like they really omitted all the fluffy scenes that I want. Like come on directors, give me more pleaseee!! I also loved how we get to see each character's own perspective and the struggle they face. They make their hardships realistic even though the drama itself is fantasy. I hope y'all get what I am trying to say here...

ALSO I JUST WANNA ADD ONTO HERE, RIN IS THE BEST GURL AND THE BEST CHARACTER IN THIS SERIES. THE FACT THE SHE PUT HER FRIENDS FIRST OVER HER OWN FKING FEELINGS. OH MY GAWD, SHE DESERVES BETTER AND I FKING MEAN IT!!!!

The pacing of the drama is pretty good too except for the last episode, I did feel some inconsistencies here and there. But it didn’t bother me too much.

Also make sure you all support the subber!!! Thank you so much Furritsu!!!

Short and concise

Dec. 25, 2021

I finished this drama during Christmas and I must say that I really loved this series. I am so sad on how short it is as I feel like additional episodes could have explained things better. For some odd reasons, I understand why others might have avoided or disliked this drama due to the different take that a lot of Jdramas do especially when it comes to their BL series. Fair warning as to why I gave a 9 instead of 10 is due to the annoyance that I got from the male lead at first.

A person who is treated like a 'king', yes he was misunderstood but I was really frustrated at the lack of communication of his and the other male lead. Like I feel like the directors and writers really wanted to delay their romance to put angst which I did like. However, it could have been avoided along with the time skip if the leads just learned how to communicate with each other. BUT the reason why I am so forgiving towards these "flaws" is because I really love the background history of each leads.

Strong start and a descent ending

Nov 6, 2021

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is one of those comfort dramas to watch on a cold day covered in a thick blanket. The plot was fantastic from the beginning but I did feel like the last two episodes could have been a bit better. I feel like the pacing got really finicky during episodes 15 and 16. Maybe the director should have made it into like 18 episodes just so that the ending would not feel as rushed and that it would have concluded well.

I really like all the characters in the drama but the police officer and the dental hygienist love story really appealed to me more than our main lead. Also, I am living for the representations of LGBTQ+ people in this drama. I did not expect a Kdrama that takes place in a small coastal town to have a lesbian underplot. Though I lowkey wished that I should have brought more tissues since I just kept bawling my eyes out. I know people say that this was like a 'healing' type drama but man I cried so much. And I think that you might too!

Short and a comedic relief

July 6, 2021

Phew, that went by quick. I literally watched this series in one settings. And here’s my take, very funny. Like I was laughing for the majority of the part, I really love how they make fun of the BL cliche troupes. That was something to look forward to!

My only concern was that there was not really any love story for the main character. He’s literally like us except he is facing these BL romances in real life.

But I guess for a short drama like this, it was surely a funny and interesting ride. Probably won’t rewatch it unless I need some laughs and giggles but yea.

Interesting but lacks depth

April 26, 2021

I know this has three couples and that a lot of people are very excited about them. But I honestly felt lacking in terms of the progress of the story. Of course, I know it is a short drama after all. But it just did not give the satisfaction like other short BLs out there. Sure there is fluff but the romanticization of your kidnapper is just I am over it personally.

Maybe if my older self watched this series, then I would rate it higher but since I watched so many shows. I think I just have a knack for levelling up my standard.

Enough with the negatives and more on the pros. It is sweet and fluffy. I literally finished it in a day. If you the type of person who won't pick on the plot unlike me. It is very easy to watch. Sure there are so misunderstanding at times but it's bearable if don't care too much about the details.

I doubt I'll rewatch it but if I do its prolly because I am looking for some short sweet fluff!!!

Am I still gonna watch season 2? Of course, since this story has potential along with the actors. I have a feeling that it will be better. (I really hope so!!)

such a good adaptation

July 24, 2025

OH MY GOD!

This version of Marry My Husband is so good. I am so happy with the little tweaks that they did with the plot and such. And I can't fathom to think how hooked I was for this adaptation.

Even though, I know the general plot as I have read the webtoon and watched the Korean adaptation, this still hits the spot.

In comparison to the Kdrama, this one is more concise and I love the Japanese-zation of the story. It makes sense why they took this with this approach and I am so happy to consume this media. And there is not stupid sub plot like the korean version!!!

The chemistry of the leads are through the roof and even though it may not be accurate to the webtoon. I STILL MF LOVE IT.

SUCH A GOOD ADAPTATION, it brought me out of the drama slump!

Hometown healing

Jan. 21, 2024

Welcome to Sam-dal ri is definitely that kdrama for healing. Not revenge.

For starters, I know a lot of other people have mentioned how they love how this show gets better as it goes on. And that is so true. I never really expected to love this drama if you asked me around the first few episodes. It is a slower pace slice of life show. It alleviates that fast-life city feeling, as it is set in a small town. You know, as a person who grew up in the city, I kind of feel jealous and I really do want to experience that slower pace type of living.

The plot of the show is amazing, it is pretty good in terms of the story telling and how it was delivered throughout the episodes. I did wish though that the so called "antagonists" got much harsher ending for all the things they have committed. I do know that this is not a revenge drama but regardless, it fell flat in that area.

The cast is amazing and I feel like this drama is very underrated or underrepresented in terms of all the kdramas that on the smae air-time as this one. So please give Welcome to Sam-dal ri the love and recognition it deserves!

The only kdrama in 2021 where I did not skip or hit the pass forward button

May 6, 2021

Holy shit, it has come to an end for bingeing this series and I am fking dead. Hands down Vincenzo deserves the hype that it has! It is literally the only kdrama released this year where I never found boring. Each 20 episodes were fulfilling and I can tell that the writers put effort into producing such a brilliant series.

First and foremost the CGI, HOLY CRAP. The graphic is just majestic you can clearly tell that the producers and directors put everything they can to fking deliver. I don't care what anyone else says, but many kdramas from late 2020 to early 2021 are full of mediocre plots. A lot of them were very disappointing. I have drop a lot of them or skip until the finale just so I can it was good. I feel like Vincenzo and Penthouse were the well-written ones out here.

As for Vincenzo Cassano himself, I can say that he is majestic. Obviously, we know that he has a past and that he is not really a hero, but he isn't a villain either. He pretty much just trying to live his life. He is so funny and ironic. And his chemistry with Cha Young is off the charts. Well obviously the romance aspect was not really the main focus but it is still pretty well delivered.

Cha young on the other hand is strong female lead who is a badass bitch and intelligent asf. She may have her Damsel in distress moment but overall I love her acting and her character. She is very charismatic and not a nuisance.

HAN SEO, AH MY BELOVED HAN SEO. I am so happy that he was able to find true brotherhood with Vincenzo. I am so sad that things had to end that way with him. I literally fking bawled the fuck out of my eyeballs. Holy crap, how can the writers be so fking cruel. Like goddamn it! TVN U BITCH U ALWAYS WRITE OFF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS!!!!!!!

Glory to God in letting us live our truth

July 6, 2026

Ticket to Heaven is a masterpiece. I am beyond amazed and in awe of this series, as someone who is also in the same boat as Barth and Tanrak being Catholic yet gay, it truly speaks to my soul just watching this series. It is written so lovely and well, and the 6 episodes run time just makes sense. I totally get and understand both Barth and Tanrak, and seeing how they live in their truth is just a hopeful and positive message to everyone who is kinda in the similar boat. I truly think that there are a lot of aspects about our interdisciplinary lifestyles with conflicting views and opinions. However, it is truly all a good reminder that at the end of the day only God can judge us and that we can live our truths and let us still have a connection with God.

I remember looking forward to each episodes and having all my emotions be felt because it is truly such a matter of reality that many religious queer people face. I think that there are major factors in how this is also reflective of P'Aof's life story so it just really has a strong substance and depth. I am so happy with how everything unfolded and resolved. I love the execution of the first scene where Thailand is the pioneer for same-sex marriage in Southeast Asia. It just resonates well and eugh, it truly tugged my heart strings.

Ticket to Heaven deserves the love and recognition that it is getting. A truly heartwarming reality drama about religious queers and questions they face regarding life!

The warmth of the sun rays

April 24, 2026

Oh my god, this is one of the best Chinese drama to be released and that I have watched. A solid 10, deserves more than 10 across all scores.

I feel so warmth and hopeful. It truly is a revolutionary Cdrama. I feel like the resilience of Fei Ni and Mu Yang really showed the epitome of true love, marriage, and values of partnership. I am so in awe of the main leads, I feel like there was so much dopamine and serotonin that were injected into my veins.

It’s just so positive and inspiring, I don’t even know how to fully describe the emotions I felt watching this drama. It is a must watch, I love the main leads, and the second leads Mu Yang’s sister and the Doctor. I truly think that it is just so refreshing to see a slice-of-life drama that just unravels in such a pace that is neither boring or that is too slow for me. The plot progresses well and I truly feel like I was transported back in time and in a setting I am not even familiar with.

The directors, writers, producers, actors, and everyone that partake in this drama — yall ate so hard. I just eugh, not enough words and praises can atone to the level of value and admiration I have for this drama.

So please give this the love it truly deserves! Another S-tier drama we have BABYYYYYY

Where can I find a Sima Jiao for myself

March 6, 2026

OH MY GOD, another Wuxia drama done from my ever growing list. I love this drama at all. After riding the highs of How Dare You?, When Destiny Brings the Demon hits the spot.

We have another down bad male lead Sima Jiao who's love story transcends over 4 lifetimes. Isn't that motherfucking diabolically so green flag coded? I feel like the ending could have been expanded, but I also know that there are censorship regarding transmigration Chinese dramas. As such, I can't help but feel like the ending falls a bit average. I do must say, I enjoy watching this series, for a 33 episode series, I do am loving the prognosis of the story.

I just find it endearing how multiple lifetimes were covered and it really just puts that status of eternal love and that I will find you in every lifetime.

Such joy and admiration I have for Sima Jiao and Ting Yan, this show is definitely that Cdrama that is worth your time to watch!

It is not as bad as what they say

Dec. 14, 2023

Just a psa, YES, I almost dropped this series. It definitely have its slow parts and that definitely pissed me off. The cast is so amazing and if they just stick to the plot of the webtoon. Then I feel like this would have been better and not have those dull and confusing parts.

The ending is not sad, if that’s what you are looking for. I think they did a pretty decent job at concluding this series. I am not sure if I would rewatch it again to be honest. Maybe just watch the highlights and video edits of it.

Someone people said the acting fell flat in certain scenes and I guess I did feel it too. But it wasn't like that bothersome for me as with the plot.

I wish I can say more better things about this show. But the only good thing is that I finished it even though it felt like a chore.

Definitely watch this if you have nothing else to watch.

L&P - Loyalty and Persistence

May 2, 2023

Lighter and Princess was Cdrama that I was bit hesitant to watch at first. Although the plot seemed intriguing, I didn’t think that I would be that hooked into watching this show.

I just want to say the the plot is pretty damn solid and strong. I will start off with the cons first. The reason I gave the plot section a 9.5/10 was that, I just felt like the ending of the show kind off fell flat. Especially in the revenge arc or around the climax. Aside from this issue I had, everything else from ep 1- 33 was solid. It was good.

As for the romance, I love the FL, Zhu Yun the most. She is so loyal and persistent with Xi Lun. After all the things that she went through. Zhu Yun and Xi Lun really deserves the best. Poor souls, my heart ached and broke for them.

I didn’t realize how heavy this drama will go into. I also can't believe that it only took me like 3 days to finish this whole series.

I love it. It's just good to watch so I hope yall can give it a try too! Still a solid 10/10 Cdrama for me!!!!
