Lovely, refreshing, cliché but I love it
Feb. 26, 2023Time and Him are just right is one of the best youth cdrama I have watched in a hot minute. I really love the communication between the male and female lead. Like their dynamic as a duo is just so lovely.
To be fair, for a youth drama, they are actually pretty mature in regards to my standards considering I have watched a ton of youth genre dramas.
There was some minor hiccups here and there in the plot progression but it didn't bother me at all henceforth the 9.5 star rating.
In terms of the SML syndrome, yes I had it. But to be fair the ML really snatched my heart so I definitely was like switching teams like a mad man.
The group dynamic itself was fantastic and pretty realistic to me. The way they fought, made up, look at perceptions of so many things. AND honestly, just how they try to put effort into pursuing their dreams that was so important.
In terms of the facing of the show, it is good cause I wasn't bored at all. Like I was absorbing and pretty engaged, which is shocking cause the last few years of youth cdramas has been pretty meh. I had to dropped like bazzillion of them just cause of how immature, petty, and boring the series were.
But this one ate most show up.
Love it.
Recommend heavily to yalls to watch.
MUCH LOVE AND I WANT A JUN XING PLEASE LORD and a QIN KAI AS well thanks!

Cute fluffy and short
April 17, 2022Cherry Blossoms After Winter is a short K-drama BL that is easy to watch, and easy to follow. That being said, I did read and a huge fan of the manhwa so I definitely was a bit wary when this show was first announced. I think the casts fit the character, especially our two lovely main leads. Though, I wish the drama was longer because there were so many details that they missed from the manhwa. But for those who didn’t read the manhwa then you probably won't mind the shortness of this drama.
So to sum it all up, this drama is perfect for those who want a short, fluffy, easy to watch, and easy-to-understand kdrama. ALSO, HELLO THAT ONE SCENE I WAS SO SPEECHLESS 🙈 , HE IS SO HOT 🥵 I CANT-

Hey siri play "Blueming" by IU
April 11, 2022HOLY CRAP, I AM BACK WITH WATCHING KDRAMAS JUST A WEEK BEFORE THE FINAL SEASONS AGAIN. Waw, this is such an occurring experience. Blueming is definitely up there with the Korean BLs that are released for this half of 2022. I really love how they paced the series in such a consistent manner. Although, each episode are about 10-15 minutes, the writers and directors were able to team up to execute the feeling, the story, and the progression so damn good.
I really love and fell in love with Da un, I love Siwon too. But Da un just sets up the standard out here. He is so caring and lovely, you can see how he never forced anything to Siwon and has always been respectful. Even when they have issues, Da un always assures Siwon that his feelings are valid and that he will always respect him. Da un asking for forgiveness is just too cute too like WTFFF I CANT-
I'VE BEEN SINGLE FOR WAY TOO LONG HOLY CRAP. SOMEONE PASS ME A DA UN PLEASEEEEE 😭
As for other characters, they are all lovely except the parents and that one annoying jerk🤭

PERFECT TEN: Much better than season 1
April 9, 2021We Best Love Season 2 takes the crown as one of the few BLs which I prefer the season 2 better than season 1. I know other reviews here say otherwise. But I genuinely found the season 2 storyline more intriguing and well detailed than season 1. Season 2 showed the huge development between Shu Yi and Shi De's relationship.
Sure there was that 5-year gap that left many people angry but I did not mind it. The problems were not dragged unlike other series and I am happy how Shu Yi called out Shi De for his lack of trust in him and their relationship. I am happy that there is not any "villain" in this season but just a few minor setbacks. As much as I wanna punch Shu Yi's dad to the wall, I find his character hilarious. As for chemistry, I find it much stronger than the previous season as I guess the actors' bond grew more and I can tell how comfortable they are with each other.
Sidenotes:
As much as the Doctor's relationship is toxic. I want to know his story and the chief of tech, it seems that they have such a tragic back story. I am happy that they will be the main focus in season 3 so fingers crossed. Though, I can already feel that I will probably need a box of tissues when I watch S3. Cause I just know that it will be one heck of a ride.
Also, DAMN WTF WHY DID THE DIRECTORS CUT THIS SCENE!! IT SUCH AN IMPORTANT SCENE HOW DARE THEM CUT IT.... I NEED TO GO TO TAIWAN AND RE-ADD THIS SCENE BACK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oum7pXW4OoA
Lastly, I wish we get to see more of Shu Yi and Shi De in season 3. I know they are not the main focus but still. I need their steamy scenes back. This season lacks that part. /hj
Also, damn they really went back to their university to redo the kiss at the pool. Though I must say that the underwater kiss remain superior. NEVERTHELESS, I FOUND THIS SEASON PROFOUNDLY MUCH BETTER THAN SEASON 1.
I guess it is all in our personal taste, but I REALLY CAN'T STAND THE SLANDER OF SEASON 2. People make it seem worse than it really is!!!
Hands down one of my favourite Taiwanese dramas for 2021!!

A hiro
Dec. 12, 2025WHOA I am on a whim with binge watching the University series for sure.
Yanna's and Hiro's love story definitely is the spiciest among the university couples, for sure, they emphasized on that for this adaptation. I feel like there is something with their story and with how everything unfolded. I know that the budget seems tighter on this one and I know when I watched the first series, the budget would be nonexistent due to it being the first of the adaptation.
Regardless, I did not mind the shots and overall cinematography, after all vivaone is not a big budget television series company.

Diabetes
Jan. 21 ,2024Our Secret Diary is an amazing movie filled with fluff and sweet moments. It might be considered a typical highschool romance movie but this movie is just done well. The execution, the movement of the plot, the pacing, the change of the perspective from the female lead to the male lead. The way the misunderstanding were dragged a bit but it was just amazing when it all came to the conclusion.
This movie has made me put more appreciation and love for Asian movies. As such, this year after finishing Monster, and now this, Our Secret Diary, I feel like I am on a roll with Jmovies.
I have nothing but praise to the directors, the casts, and the other staffs. I did wish we got more scenes after they became official but you know what I will think that the post-credit scene has given the justice that it needs to deliver.
Our Secret Diary has definitely jumped spot as one of my favourite Asian movies of all time. I can assure you that.

Breaking the top and bottom stereotypes
Sep 27, 2023WHOA, I finished this drama in like one sitting, I kid you not.
First of all, I was a bit shooked about finding the seme and the uke of this drama. It is good that they are breaking the stereotypes placed among mlm relationships. The plot of the drama is okay, it does feel a bit inconsistent but apparently this was adapted from a manhwa. SO guess who is about to read that manhwa since I want more details regarding the plot prognosis and such.
Yul and Chan's chemistry is so amazing. Chan really embodied that baby girl type of behaviour especially with the acting and the actor's delivery of lines. As for Yul, the switch up from his grumpy cold nature, to the more smily and carefree vibes later on was chef's kiss.
Love Tractor is definitely part of the generic and fluffy type content of korean BLs that are released this year. But something about it is just so interesting to watch. I feel like they really ate with the country side type of drama. I hope there are more like this to be released in the near future.

The most majestic BL Korea has ever released
April 26, 2023The Eighth Sense has been a drama that caught my eye ever since the first episode. As I was watching this and waiting for the episodes to roll out. I can feel and connect with the reality of what this drama entail. There are obvious plot cliches used but it was done well in my opinion.
There hasn't been a single episode where I felt like it was a filler episode. The rollercoaster of emotions I have felt is amazing. As a melodrama KBL, this was fantastic. It checks off all the things that makes a melodrama good! The pacing, the angst, the slow burn, the tension, it was so damn fucking good. The cinematography and the choices of music that they use is just so fitting for the storyline.
The storyline is not super complicated and pretty straightforward. However, the execution of the cast and the directors to tell this motherfucking story is so put together. Like this is just way too fucking good. Up to date, this has been Korea's best BL that they have ever released.
It is so genuinely raw and filled with emotions that plays with our heart.
The Eighth Sense has jumped to my top 5 BLs ever. I have so much respect fo Jae Won overcoming his trauma and for Ji Hyun being there to support him. I must say, this has tug my heart string because their story is very realistic towards my personal life story.
So I hope everyone gives The Eight Sense, the love it fucking deserves.
S-tier KBL for sure! It is a fucking masterpiece.

Such a fluffy BL
Feb. 24, 2023OMG ANOTHER DRAMA I FINISHED during my one week long break from school.
My School President is such a fluffly bl that contains very generic and cliché troupes. However, what separates them from other show is how they execute everything in such a good manner. I feel like they really put forth effort and incorporate the cliche in a way where it isn't as cringey as Thailand's recent BL releases.
My School President is definitely one of the best BLs in my opinion that has been released for the first quarter of 2023. Tinn and Gunn's relation is an epitome of what a healthy relationship looks like. I love how they do not tolerate miscommunication and try to fixes any problems that arises. Furthermore, they are so mature for their age and I can't say that to other BLs. Like full on shade to those shows I dropped but I can't stand someone being so fking immature with no character development.
Also both main leads are such green flags. I am wishing for what they have cause it honestly makes me so jealous.
ALL IN ALL WATCH MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

Mother's unconditional love
Edit:Feb. 28, 2024
Rewatching this masterpiece after 2 years. I must say, it does not falter, and continuously proves why it is such an S-tier kdrama. Under the queen's umbrella is truly one of the best historical kdramas out there. So please, if you are still in doubt, I suggest you give this show the love it truly deserves.
She is still the BEST AND SMARTEST FEMALE LEADS OF ALL DAMN TIME.
Dec. 13, 2022
Under The Queen's Umbrella redefined historical dramas for me. I genuinely am not the biggest historical Kdrama fan, but this series really changed my overall perception. This will be the first time, I will not give major spoiler in my review as I really hope this review encourages others to give this show a chance to prove itself.
For a drama that encompasses the political dynasty and power struggle. This show gave me so much emotions to feel throughout the whole time. Not a single episode, I felt bored or is a waste of my time. 16 episodes definitely gave it the good pacing as the story progresses eloquently.
For a drama that is built over hype, this live up and well beyond the expectations I initially had. Our Queen is hands down, the best FL and the smartest FL for all of the main FL for ALL KDRAMA RELEASED THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR arguably. The queen genuinely cares for all her children and disciples. I have nothing but praise for the casts, the writers, and the directors. Given the speculations regarding a second season, I think it would be nice to have but definitely unnecessary. I am very satisfied with how the ending went. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT UNDER THE QUEEN'S UMBRELLA HAS ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN, CONCLUDED KDRAMA ENDING. For the past few years, kdramas have had really terrible poorly written ending
Moreover, I love all the narratives and topics they inserted smoothly into the series. For highlighting, LGBTQ+ issues and showing that they do exists in past. I love the visibility the show had for the LGBTQ+ community. Also with how men and women have societal standards that causes inequality between the opposite sexes.
In terms of antagonists, I think the antagonists of this show is written quite well. I felt angry and agitated to the point where i want to go inside the screen and punch all of them. Also their backstory makes sense and it is not those type of antagonists where the background story is shallow or almost no connection the plot or whatever.
I guess to wrap my review I just want to say, I hope you enjoy one heck of a ride and send Under The Queen's Umbrella lots of love.

STRONG FEMALE LEAD IS WHAT WE ROOT FOR
Dec. 4, 2022Holy cow, I am on a marathon right now. I think I will venture my way into Chinese web/short dramas now.
This show is amazing and the fact that it is just about 3 hours in total, it just felt like a really long movie. Plot is generic and cliché but the execution of the actors and the pacing overall is just chef's kiss. Not a single thing I wanted to skip except that annoying mistress chick who will not shut the fuck up.
FUCK I AM OBSESS WITH THIS COUPLE. Also, the main lead is so fucking charismatic, good lord I want him.
NOTE: this ain't even a review I guess... treat more like an informal commentary... wait but doesn't that equate to a review... uhhhhhh... brainerror404 ... BYE
Joking, but in all seriousness,
PLOT: GENERIC BUT EXCELLENT EXECUTION AND GOOD PACING
ML: FUCKING IDEAL AND GOT SO MUCH RIZZ
FL: STRONG FUCKING FEMALE LEAD, LETS GOOOOOO
CHEMISTRY: FUCK I AM JEALOUS OF WHAT THEY HAVE

Cute and fluffy
Dec. 3, 2022After being done through and put through with these heavy themed Asian dramas, watching Mr. Bad is definitely a fresh breath of air. It's not like those annoying clichés, this drama is actually pretty good for rom-com with very little depth of a plot. For starters, this drama is for those who just wants to feel love and cuteness. No second leads, no stupid dragged quarrels, and most importantly no annoying parents for the main lead couple. Second lead on the other hand ...

Unexpectedly decent
Nov. 27, 2022I am currrently on a kdrama slump and I thought I might go and watch some Jdramas. Came to my surprise I ended watching Rinko-san wa Shite Mitai.
For starters, yes the drama do have the kind off generic plot, but the actors did so well that the plot did not bother me at all. Also the male lead is so damn hot, what the fucking hell. I need someone like him. As for the female lead, I actually love how she dealt with the misunderstandings with the ML. Like in other jdramas I watched, the FL usually throws like big and childish tantrums and even just emotional outbursts. But here the FL slays and is the epitome of a boss ass bitch career oriented woman.
As for the romance, the romance is fucking well-done and god damn I need that fucking spice in my life. I wanna trade spots with the lead.
TLDR: concise, not dragged out. Funny and cute. Spicy. Hot. OFF THE CHART CHEMISTRY.

SO CONCISE AND FLUFFY
November 11, 2022Roommates of Poongduck 304 just fills me up real good. MHHM MHHHM. I am so tired from o all these angsty shows and heavy weighted shows released this year that I am so happy this drama gives me the good amount of fluff I need. The story is literally your typical Kdrama plot line but I do not care cause the way the actors executed the plot is just so good.
I don't even have anything bad to say, for anyone who wants a short drama with good chemistry and cheesy romance. I heavily recommend this series! I literally screamed and paused so many times cause the feels I got were just hitting the right spots

A plot with a strong potential, sadly let down in the end
Nov. 8, 2022Eclipse definitely had its up and downs within the story and its progression. Like the romance with Akk and Aya is amazing, the side couples' subplots are good too. But I don't know why I feel like the latter half of the series, it felt like something was missing. The progression became rugged and hollow. I don't know how to even properly described it as I was a lost for words and not necessarily in a good or positive way. The first 2/3 was good and that is why I am giving this show a higher rating as that rating reflect those episodes. However, starting with the last third, I just felt like the writers tried to spice up the show with plot twists yet it felt out of place...?
I guess I'll end my review at that cause I am not sure what to event comment anymore. Nevertheless, I would still recommend the series as the romance is good and the progression of the romance... as for the plot, I will just leave it at that.
