Weak Hero 2 = Weaker plot
April 28, 2025As a webtoon reader, it is a underwhelming season. 8 episodes felt very rushed. No build up or whatsoever, so many cuts and skimming among the plot. I understand that this is an adaptation but it just felt so bland. I think the reason why I will still give it an 8.5 is that if you did not read the webtoon then this season will be great for you.
But I feel so eugh, I have a bone to pick with the writers and producers of this season, they cut out so many important elements. My worries were already high when I found that it is only going to be an 8 ep season. And FUCK No. There better be no season 3 as this should just ended with this bs.

In the name of darkness, let light prevail
Jan. 20, 2024My Demon is definitely that kdrama to start this year of with. I know that this has been hyped up for a while due to the popularity of the casts. Needless to say, it is definitely worth the hype. It has a good mixture of cliches, vibrant of what a typical fantasy rom-com kdrama.
I know a lot of people are saying how the plot is not really a plot. And I definitely agree with that. This show is very light hearted and fluffy to digest. Even though there are darker themes shown and discussed, it is still easily taken over by the light hearted of the shown. The plot is very basic, and at times it can be predictable. However, no matter what critics might say, I definitely still love and will continue to rewatch this series. I think it has given me a good nostalgia ever if I rewatched it again as My Demon is on par with that season of really good kdrama in the last quarter of 2023 plus the first few months of 2024.
(I am referring to the fact that My Demon, Welcome to Sam dal-ri, Park's Marriage Contract, A good day to be a dog, Castaway, Doona, Vigilante, etc. are around the same time of airing. And this era of kdrama airtime is really that good. I always kept looking forward to them every single week).
As for what kept me hooked into the show, I am for sure that it is due to the execution of the cast rather than the plot. The casts of the series carried the show, especially in the latter part.
It is a happy ending, and I enjoyed the roller coaster ride of emotion My Demon has provided. There might be plot holes but it did not really bother me at all.
Cheers 😏

He was sunshine, I was midnight rain
October 23, 2023Doona, this kdrama hits so hard, because I feel like it is a perfect story regarding the behind the stories of romances of idols/celebrities with "ordinary" people. This kdrama made me cry at the end because I know the pain of having to choose your career over romantic relationship.
The OST hits so good as well, but Midnight Rain by TS really captures the storyline of Doona and Wonjun. I know a lot of people are mad about the ending being unsatisfying, but I think this drama is about the reality. And the sad truth is not everyone will experience that happy-ever after ending that they dream of. Donna is a perfect example of that.
So please, to all the ones who is asking for that reality melodrama spiced up with angst. Please give DOONA the love that is deserves!

DAYUM WHAT A SERVE
July 5, 2021Ok so, I never really read the reviews before I started watching it and I might be biased since I have been waiting for this drama to finish because Park Bo Young is starring. But I love this series from the beginning till end. Sure ep 15 could have been a bit better as to why I put a 9.5 there. Since I kinda had troubles understanding how Saram got back. But you know what, it is what it is.
As for the ost, whole bops. From txt to Gummy, the whole album is a whole masterpiece.
I really love how the love triangle was on the second lead couple instead of the main couple. I really love everything about the relationship dynamics of Saram and Dong Kyung. Maybe Saram was like your typical tsundre along with the main male lead for the second lead couple. But these two men are such gentlemen and they are so fine as well. Like damn, where to find them. Also, the third couple, Dong Kyung’s two colleagues were such a good couple either. Like they represent more of the cheerful and youthful couples. While our main and second lead couples are the one who suffered and overcame such obstacles in order for their relationships to flourish.
Anyway I think Dong Kyung’s little brother had the best character development in the whole series. I really love how he changed and look at him now. He may not be your typical Asian boy who graduated from college. But at least he is thriving as a Manager at the Coffee shop. And maybe people might look down on him. But hey a job is a job. And I am proud of him for accomplishing such career.
I don’t know what to do now. I really will miss this drama. I hope y’all will watch it!!!!

Astounding two main couples
April 21, 2021Damn, I must say given the reviews of other users for this series. I was expecting it to be really bad. But this drama is not. I understand that the plot can do a bit more work but if I am being honest I did not mind its imperfection. Maybe it's the casts that saved the show. But this is pretty good!!
Fighter and Tutor's dynamic as a couple is superb and as much as the typical BL misunderstanding that happens between them. I was not agitated as other users. I believe that they have a pretty healthy relationship. Moreover, I just wanna say in that one particular scene. The trust on them towels though. How did it not fall????? HMMM Also, Fighter do you have foot fetish or smt?? Cause this man do be eating Tutor's feet at the damn time...
SAI FAH IS MY MAN SORRY ZON. BUT HOW IS THIS MAN SO CHARMING LIKE THE WHOLE TIME IN THIS SERIES. SAI FAH KEPT STEALING MY ATTENTION. LOWKEY I GOT JEALOUS OF ZON LIKE GET ME A MAN LIKE SAI FAH PLEASE. HE IS SO FINE, FUNNY, AND CARING.
Anyway, on to their relationship, I feel like Zol really was the catalyst to Zon and Sai Fah's relationship. Their relationship did not show NSFW scenes like Fighter and Tutor but those kisses were bomb as hell. Still mad the directors cut the nsfw like they already slept together. UGh /hj
My friends better step up their game cause these four are squad goals I ain't kidding. Also, that last episode gave me diabetes like literally.
I feel like this is one of the few series where both main couples are strong. NO ONE OVERSHADOWED EACH OTHER!!

Get me a Taemu please and thank you
April 8, 2022A Business Proposal has lined the cliché up and I am devouring all of it. Everything in this series is pretty much predictable and you can kinda see how it will end. However, episodes 1-11 were too good. The execution and the delivery of the cast carried the drama. So what I am trying to say is that A Business Proposal served all the clichés that we all love.
Although the reason for my 0.5 deduction is just cause the last episode was a little underwhelming. I am seeing other people’s comments and I am definitely going to read the webtoon. Because I did not get the satisfaction that I need.... I feel like it needs more and I feel like the timing is a little rushed. They could have given this series maybe 13 or even 14 episodes just to wrap it up nicely and not leave me with this unwavering feeling of unfulfilled.
But everything else is top notched. Along all the rom-coms released recently, A Business Proposal ate and devoured all of them. A Business Proposal really up the game for the Rom-coms for the first half of 2022!

S-tier show, a memoir of life
March 30, 2025I love this drama. After being on hiatus from watching drama series, When Life Gives You Tangerines set the stone in developing the strength of what it takes to really amply and tell that slice-of-life melodrama.
This drama is so good, it is well produced. The execution of scenes, the casts, the storytelling, it brought me to life. To really have more appreciation for how my life is no matter how shitty and low life can be. It is true, we need to take care of ourselves. There are instances where we had no choice but to really compromise. I love it. I feel so speechless finishing it now. Binging it for 2 days definitely shows how hooked I was. I could not put it on hold.
I feel that empathy really is highlighted in this show because the way we can see parallels between the generations of people. Life truly is just like that.
The life lessons, the perspectives, the risks, the tragedy, the failure, the happiness, the grief of losing our loved ones, aging, all of these are just so raw. Hence why this show really connected to me and my heart strings were tug a couple times for sure. Afterall, there is no villain in this show, just the course of nature and how life goes...

Too hot for the Rain
Edit April 26, 2023. For some reason I can't watch Sky and Prapai. So this 9.5/10 review is only the first half of the series.September 30, 2022
Review for: Payu and Rain arc
Oh my god! Love In The Air: Payu and Rain is the bitch. They ran and pushed forth as one of my favourite bls for this year. I was originally going to wait until Nov to watch this series in a binge way. But one of my friends said that the first main couple's story was done now. So I decided to watch it right away. To be frank, I only started watching this show yesterday and I finished Payu and Rain's plot already, which were episodes 1-7. The reason I put the 9 on the story segment is because I feel like yea there are parts that don't make sense especially in episode 7. If you know, you know ahahah. Anyway, that part didn’t really bother me too much, I kinda skip my way away from what happened. So yes, in a way I kinda did shut off my brain regarding certain part of the plot. I guess the reason why some of the plot holes didn't bother me too much is because of how great the actors are in this series. If I am being honest, if the casts were only giving 'mid' tier or poor acting, I would have probably dropped this series just purely based on the plot. BUT since the casts carried the show and I just want to say how excellent the chemistry is between Payu and Rain.
In terms of their relationship, this might be one of Mame's least toxic unhealthy legal-friendly relationship that she has written. To be honest, I tend to avoid any dramas that she is involved just because of how unhealthy and how uncomfortable I felt in her other dramas I gave a shot. In which, I ultimately dropped. I don't know I just can't tolerate cheating and really pushy behaviours. However, for this one, Mame did a pretty good job in keeping Payu&Rain's relationship healthier.
I am so excited for Sky's arc to unfold so I will be back on Nov-ish... unless I get busy with other things. Anyways, until then soldiers!

I wanted more
Oct 15, 2023Taikan Yoho is definitely one of the better bls released for the last quarter of 2023. Although, it poses the very red flag and toxic male lead, Segasaki, he is not as bad as what you might expect from the synopsis.
Obviously, this bl is adapted from a manga, so the delivery of certain lines was a bit off when the actors portrayed it. But nevertheless, it was not a huge thing for me to notice or for me to drop the show.
The plot is pretty cute but I did feel like the ending did not give a very good closure of the series. It just seemed like it got cut off right there.
I still think that the series is pretty decent in terms of comparison with the on going/recently released asian BLs.
Please give this show some love as it deserves it!

So cute and fluffy
Jan. 6, 2025THIS IS SO CUTE AND FLUFFY. I love this Japanese BL, it is so simple yet it is so charming. There is something about the cast, the execution of the scenes that really carried out how to special this show to me.
The chemistry between the leads are off the charts, and it has attained such cuteness and fluff that I am not irked by it! Rather I am more hooked on as I move on the next episodes. It feels like I have found such show that has been kind of not as common recently.
This is one of those shows that I will definitely rewatch over and over again. I feel like I am such a child being amused with such joy. I am so happy to start of the year with this BL. I will definitely be putting this as those S-tier drama.

ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS
Dec. 16, 2025I am so blessed to be watching this show cause Love in the Clouds is that WUXIA and CDRAMA of 2025. I have been experiencing really bad slump lately and this show just eats so hard.
I love how Ming Yi is such a badass female lead, she really is able to put her worth and decisiveness to the front. I know that Ji BoZai is a fantastic male lead, I feel like they are just that miscommunication boss couple, but it is so understanding why they would do such things. After all, they are so devoted to each other. I would rewatch this show over and over again.
The plot twists, the build up is just amazing. I can't wait to read the novel when I have time!

I love love lvoe
Dec. 9, 2025I finally watched and finished this series kasi at first, I was contemplating on watching due to people's mixed reviews. Alam ko naman, na dapat I am not going to expect everything to be verbatim from the book.
So after years of pushing, I finally watched it and I fell in love with the series and the cast. Definitely on the grind right now watching all the university series!
Sevi and Elyse you guys ate so much, sa susunod ulittt

ANG GANDA
Dec 8, 2025OMG i finally finished this show, i am so happy na finish ko na siya.
I really love watching VivaOne Teleserye since it helps me strengthen my Tagalog since I am not as fluent. It really makes me feel satisfied with the adaptation since I also read the wattpad novel version.
Sam and Clyden's story hits so damn different, knowing everything that they put me through.
I really love the cast, I know people were a bit harsh on the actor portraying Clyden but at the same time, maybe its just that high Filipino beauty standards, nevertheless, he still is pogi for me to be Clyden.
Among the University series, you can really tell, this one had good budgeting! And I hope it keeps up especially with the on-going show right now with Arkin and Via.

Slow and smooth
March 31, 2024Jazz for Two is a decent Korean BL drama. It has some homophobic and violent content so, if you are looking for fluffy and cute plots, then I suggest that this might not be the show for you.
I feel like the manhwa will give you a better understanding of the characters given how short the series is. So there are instances where the plot feels jagged in terms of the storyline of our leads. I do love their dynamic and the chemistry is definitely there. It isn't as strong as what I expected from them, but I guess this is my bias in comparison to the manhwa.
Nevertheless, it was still a fun ride watching Jazz for Two and I hope you guys can give this KBL a shot !

ANOTHER WAY TO REWATCH on heavy focus with our main leads
Mar. 13 , 2024I actually did not know that this version exists until I was on my rewatching moment with The Untamed and I stumbled upon this version.
Needless to say, I definitely loved this version as well. The focus towards Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian is just chef's kiss. The fact that the subtle change in the ending really made this version so good.
As someone who loves The Untamed. I heavily vouch to not watch this special version cut and watch the original version. As this has made so much cut regarding very important details and back stories. IF YOU HAVENT THE ORIGINAL YET. However, if you are like me and love to rewatch series over and over again. Then this special version is perfect for you. It is much easier to watch given how compressed it is as well.
CHEERS !!
