Tears, tears, and endless tears !!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!
Feb. 12, 2022!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!
I bravely watched this drama as I already have an idea of what the ending will be like. But it still hurts, it took me a while to finish the drama especially after episode 11, as it became gloomy and man I was going through some shits too. So I took a couple of weeks off before finally finishing this. Snowdrop is that drama, not perfect and flawless, but it has such a huge impact on me.
The actors really did well especially to my girl, Jisoo, I am really proud of her acting here. Now I can see why she got in at YG through her acting audition. She is excellent, I hope that she pursues more acting endeavours in the future. I do hope its not as gloomy as this one. As for Haein, man, he rocks, I love his acting as well. I feel like their chemistry is really off the charts. Every time I see their scenes together I wanna scream cause I can't deal with it. I feel butterflies hehehe 🦋
DO I RECOMMEND SNOWDROP? Of course, I do, though prepare yourselves some tissues. yea tissues. Lots of them.
I wanna say I hope you have fun, but fun is far from this series. 😉

Awesome youth cdrama
Jan. 7, 2022A River Runs Through It is definitely a strong youth drama. The plot is very realistic and the leads have interesting stories, perspectives, and emotions to tell. What I love about this drama is how it made certain parts or characters in the end have an unpredictable ending. I know maybe certain viewers might not like it, but it makes it more realistic as our lives are not predominantly predictable in any shape or form.
I really love our male lead here, Shi Yi really sets the bar so high for all the other male leads in the CDRAMA world. Also can we talk about his character development? Like he really stepped up his game. I love this man so much, I don't think I can ever forget him especially on how he treats Xiaoju. From how he accepted everything and how he did that to build on himself. His character is such a chef's kiss in my opinion. He deserves everything, and to be honest, there are certain points where I got frustrated with the female lead since she is taking her god damn time. LIke sis hello.
As for other characters, there are some twists and turns that made my heart ache but I won't mention it too much since that will ruin the fun. But I feel like each character was wrapped nicely along with their own subplot. As much as I hate the writers for how they did some characters dirty. I am happy with their endings.
THO I MUST SAY, this the slowest burn youth Chinese drama I have watched as of this date. A very roller coaster ride but I definitely loved it. I really felt like that I grew up with the characters starting from their high school journeys to their University life then to their early adulthood.

Cutesy way to start the year
Jan. 2, 2022Sweet Teeth is such a cute drama. I really love how all the leads are very bearable and not super toxic, unlike other Cdramas. I also love the growth of each character as each FLs and MLs showcases the different type of people and their way of perceiving life.
Although, what bothered me the most about this drama is the blatant ignorance towards Africa and how they kept linking diseases to the African nations. I feel like it may be the propaganda that China may have, but that part of the show made me skip as I felt uncomfortable with it. What they did is basically the same as associating Covid with China. LIke come on please, writers do better. That was really disappointing, I thought we are over associating people/countries/places with certain diseases. Honestly, I would have given this show a solid 9/10 but because of this issue, I took a star off.
As for everything else, I really liked it! So watch this drama at your own discretion!

Loving a clingy, hilarious, and romantic male lead
Nov. 14, 2021I am living and loving for a male lead like this one. He reminds me so much of Park Hyungsik in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. If I am being honest, I was shocked at how funny, hilarious, and interesting this drama is.
Dali and Moo Hak's chemistry is just unbelievable off the roof. I love how even though Dali is kinda portrayed as a Damsel in distress type of FL, she ain't dumb! Also, I am so happy that there is no stupid breakup and time-lapse at the end. Cause I swear to God these writers be throwing that damned plot line every motherfking time. From all the depressing dramas and violent shows I watched, I love how this was like a breather for me. Definitely something I will watch just because of how comedy, romance, kinda crimeish, and art are mixed together into this one heck of a ride series.

Its those thrashy classy romance but good tier ifykwim
Oct. 19, 2021Okay, so this Chinese drama is quite interesting. I have seen the reviews and I expected quite a lot but I feel like it just did not meet the expectations for me. I thought that the plot was decent enough but not outstanding. Given that it is a high school to adult-type Chinese drama, it is expected for it to have lots of cliches. Which I did not mind, to be honest.
However, what frustrates me is the somehow development of the two leads. I am sure that everyone loved the ending as they got together finally. But the middle arc just irked me so much since it's promoting toxicity and dependent on each other. I feel like they shouldn’t have gone this route as they tried to make such good development for the FL. It was a pain to see how the FL forces and attaches herself to the ML like a glue. I didn’t find that cute or lovely at all. It feel dehumanizing at most. I really despise that arc, if the director just removed that arc, this drama would have been a good 9.5/10 or even a 10/10 for me.
So fair warning, but everything else is great. It's just the 3/4 part that just made me almost lose my interest in this drama. But the ending did redeem the show I guess for that painful middle arc.
SO OVERALL 8/10. Do I recommend this show? Ofc but only for those who have good patience.

DAMN ROM COM DONE RIGHT
July 23, 2021My Roommate is a Gumiho, is a rom-com done right. Like the executions are just there. So huge shoutout to the directors and producers and to the casts too!!! Sure one of the cons with fantasy rom-com is the plot doesn't make sense in some parts. But to be honest, the plot holes did not bother me. Like I barely noticed it. I think I only remembered the problems now as I am writing this review. ALSO, I do wish that they gave more room on the other couples or "ships". I feel like the secondary characters were robbed of some screen time. Sure I love, Mr. Fox and Dam's chemistry and their relationship. But man I really wanted to see more of the START UP couple, like their side story is just way too cute. And also with Dam's girl best friend and her senior. I really wanted to see more of their development. LIKE OMG DIRECTORS THESE TWO SIDE COUPLES CAN NEED TO STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES CAUSE I NEED MORE. THIS AIN'T IT. BRUH I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD. I HOPE THESE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CAN HAVE THEIR OWN PROJECTS WHERE THEY ARE THE LEAD, THE CHEMISTRY IS JUST SO GOOD. THAT IT WILL BE A WASTE IF THEY DON'T STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES. 😭
So besties, watch this drama it's so loveable and hilarious. Props to Hyeri and her character, since this is one of the few female leads who can actually speak her mind and is not a doormat. Also, I just love how loveable and not annoying her character is. She is strong, cries sometimes but not those losers female lead like ugh 😩 I hate those kinds of FL but Dam's character is just too good. Please directors more FL like her.
I guess that's a wrap for this review too. ahahaha
Enjoy!!!

What a ride
July 2, 2021This drama is one of those drama that I must say is not romance base. I like how the drama does not focus on romance part like it is very subtle. I also like how each episode has its own mini story that is pretty much about what happened towards the former life of the spirits. And not gonna lie I was more focus on these mini arcs than the actual drama. Especially towards with the grandma and her ill relationship with her brother due to their fight and misunderstanding towards handling their father’s mental and physical health especially since he is considered as a “burden”. I cried buckets of tears, I couldn’t even pause the screen since I was just way too invested in that.
I definitely recommend this drama so I hope you watch it too

A really solid youth theme genre Chinese drama
May 8, 2021It has come to end for bingeing this series and I must say I am not ready to say goodbye. I did not expect this drama to be that good! I really thought this was just some fluffy youth cdramas that I will breeze through. But all the five main characters really captured my heart. I relate so much to the family, friendship, and relationship dynamics that each character has.
Tan Song and Cheng Zi's relationship is so cute and pure! I really envied them so much. Obviously, since it is a cdrama, it is not very touchy or steamy per se, but I can feel the sweet innocent romance that they have. I must say in my 18 years of living life, I have never experienced such naive and fluffy romance. So seeing this drama really made me envious.
ALTHOUGH I AM SO MAD AT JINXIAO AND CHEN ZUI'S ENDING. WHY TF THEY DID NOT END UP TOGETHER. I NEED A SPIN-OFF STORY FOR THEM CAUSE HONEY THIS AIN'T IT. I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD HOLY. THAT'S WHY I TOOK HALF A STAR BECAUSE WHO ON EARTH DID THIS. I NEED TO SPEAK AND TALK TO THE DIRECTORS AND WRITERS CAUSE THEY DID THEM DIRTY AT THE END. YOU GAVE US ALL THESE TENSIONS JUST FOR THEM TO NOT HAVE A PROPER ENDING. Their ending was so confusing and unclear, I was literally like what on earth is happening??? Did the writer became lousy at the end or what?!!!!!
As for the other story, I won't get into too many details as it will ruin the fun and suspense. But I did not expect to laugh, then cry, grieve, and experience such a roller coaster of emotion in my life!!!

Short fluff that is forgettable
April 28, 2021Be My Boyfriend is a pretty decent web drama. Nothing special in particular but I still like the series nonetheless. For example, there are certain parts of the series where the male lead Seungmin acts like your typical k-drama female heroine while the female lead Jina acts like the stereotypical male lead. I guess since it is a web drama, I am a bit generous on my rating. Tbh, if this is a regular drama, I would have probably given this a lower rating.
So all in all, this drama is short and fluffy. Easy to watch not emotionally draining. Something to watch when you are experiencing a drama slump like me right now who watched back to back Thai BLs. Also, I must say that the leads here have such great visuals. Especially, Jina's ex like I am not supposed to be rooting for him. But man he is so fine. Like every time he shows up I am straight up staring at him and not paying attention to anything else.

Ae and Pete is one of the few none toxic relationships in the BL world
April 28, 2021Love By Chance season 1 is a pretty darn good series. I have seen the reviews for season 2 especially with Tin and Can's story arc. And I must say I am not sure if I will be able to watch it. As much as I love Tin and Can, I hope they can save season 2 for me.
Anyway, back to season 1. Ae is such a sweet heart. I love and live for this man. Hands down one of the best tops out here. He literally tops out everyone on my list and I mean literally. Although, Pete can be annoying with his "do you really love me?" type of validation. I understand it since he went through a lot. Especially because of that jerk Trump. How ironic that his name is Trump...
Tin and Can, well damn. I was not expecting that. I won't say too much cause I was shocked and overwhelmed but damn, I really love their dynamic especially on how Can shook Tin's personality and views about other people. That part where Can punched him was really memorable. I mean their kisses are memorable as well too hehehehe..

Strong couples and chemistry with no annoying break ups, or typical drama cliche
April 15, 2021My Little Happiness really set the standards for ROMCOM series produced by China. This is one of the few series that really stand out there. The plot itself is nothing particular but the way they executed everything was good.
Cong Rong is such an amazing female lead. She is strong and does not need others. She is also very independent and smart. While Wen Shao Qing is such a fantastic man. The way he cherishes Cong Rong and does not misunderstand between them is amazing. I have never seen such an unproblematic couple. The way they resolve everything as soon as possible is just phenomenal.
Onto our second couple, Cheng Cheng and Wen Rao, yes they have their own issues but the way their love story progresses was amazing as well.
Both couples showed strong chemistry and it is through the roof!!! The Wen family are really good kissers LMAOOOO Like I swear Wen Shao Qing and Wen Rao are always kissing their gfs. Like damn, she ain't going away, I guess they always wanna keep their lips moist!

Can’t believe its midnight
April 8, 2021I started this a couple hours ago and boom its 12:30 am and its already the next day.
This short Taiwanese drama is one hell of a ride. The ending scene definitely made me intrigued and almost heart broken. I have so many theories as to my that might have happen. I clearly can sense it’s something about the Dad of the ML.
Also, damn that make out session was chef’s kiss. It was pretty long too. 🤩 I am happy that the two leads are getting another season. I hope it justifies and bring a stronger chemistry. Though, their chemistry is already fantastic. I just hope season 2 is more steamy since they are now both consenting adults.

A love that goes through the realms of the world
April 6, 2021Love and Redemption is one heck of a ride drama. This drama deserves the rating that it has. The next part contains spoiler, read at your own risk.
The male lead, Si Feng is the most worthy and well-deserving person I have seen in Cdramas. In similarities, as the scapegoat heroine, he reminds me of Wei Wuxian from The Untamed. He went through multiple reincarnations just to get with the female lead. And you know what's so sad about it is that he is so selfless for love that he keeps hurting himself.
As for the female lead, the Goddess of War is indeed heartless and selfish in her previous self. But it is all due to that STUPID KING. I HATE THAT MAN SO MUCH. THE ENDING DID NOT GIVE ME JUSTICE. HE DESERVES WORSE PUNISHMENTS. THEY LITERALLY JUST LET HIM GET REINCARNATED AGAIN AND GET PARDONED BECAUSE HE DID IT FOR THE "THREE REALMS" WAS JUST PLAIN UNREASONABLE. I HATED HIM MORE THAN THE OTHER VILLAIN. I FEEL NO REMORSE TO WHAT HAPPEN TO HIM. FOR ALL I CARE FOR, HE CAN JUST CEASE TO EXIST.
Although, the ending did justice. I am so happy that each character got a pretty solid conclusion. The drama is one hell of a ride. 59 episodes was a bit long in my opinion. I think it would have been better as a 40-50 episode drama. Some arcs feel repetitive so I skimmed through those episodes. Henceforth, I am giving a lower rating in plot production. I guess that is the major occurrence in historical dramas. I still love it nevertheless but I hope they can find a way to resolve the draggy plots.

A whole lotta twist
April 3, 2021Watashitaci wa Douka Shiteiru is not your typical Japanese drama. This is the first time I saw a strong female lead who is not stupid and makes pretty independent decisions.
Though I must say I am so mad that she lost her baby like dang. She already lost so much. She lost her mom and her dad. She did not even truly bonded with her dad either.
Aside from that, Jdramas chemistry is always off the chart. Damn those steamy scenes were so hot. I felt so lonely and jealous when I watch them do it...

THE BEST BL TO COME OUT OF 2025
Aug, 12, 2025And after dropping so many shows this year, Revenge Love takes the lead. Such an S-tier BL, I need China to produce more BLs like this cause they ate so hard. I totally forgot about other industries since Revenge Love has been something I look forward to each week.
Chi Cheng, the red flag lead who honestly was like so damn annoying at first, but I learned to love him. Also, he changed a lot for the better and I truly am happy for that. Su Wei, oh to be loved like how Su Wei loves Chi Cheng... Mans put everything on the line, he is the REAL OG YEARNER LOVER BOY. I love them both so much. The tandem, the chemistry is fantastic. I am so happy that our second leads are pretty good too, I kept looking forward to their scenes.
Overall, this is such an S-tier BL for me... Along with The Untamed, these two are my favourite, S-tier Chinese BL and in the BL world for sure!!!!
Ill miss them all so much 😢 😭
