jeoneungd The classic fairy tale story of an introvert and an extrovert modernize in a Korean BL. With only 15 minutes per episode the content is fast paced with short conversations, the skill of editing is done well where there’s enough meat of the story to comprehend. My only struggle is the main leads is hard to distinguish so the hat or eyeglasses was able to tell me who’s who. But the chemistry is there and I know each episode has enough depth to make me want to wait for the next one.

The Edge of Horizon Episode 5
0 people found this review helpful
I’ve enjoyed the series so far but this episode bothered me due to just a few things: the period series using a modern hospital setting was so obvious they couldn’t even mask it or use an older building. They have been good so far and this is a challenge for period series. And I question the Director how he guided Pond to act like he has Turret’ Syndrome, maybe because I’ve seen him mostly is a calm role but he’s outside of his comfort zone in my personal opinion. There are amazing character actors who can definitely play this role much more convincingly instead of being irritating.

Agent Kim Reactivated Episode 10

This show was a roller coaster rides until the last three episodes…ot just fell off the cliff. The cliches and tropes, it was no longer interesting to watch but more of a “are we there yet?” We all know how it ends and that’s obvious but the story was just utterly ludicrous.

A Shop for Killers Episode 2

This episode truly tells the backdrop of the original series told in a much better way than just having a flashback. The addition of new characters add to the complexity of what was already a complex action-packed series. I believe the second series brings out more of the character which makes it more meaningful as the first series left many questions.

The Prosecutor's Proposal Episode 10

The progression of the series was going right except for the ending. I struggle with a former police officer who doesn’t know how to defend himself, and cheesy scene on the beach using handcuffs as a symbol of rings of commitment. The one who stole the show Cho Min Kyu who has been great as the supporting role and in the end a madman. I mean that was predictable but he definitely showed his acting skills.

Blossoms of Power Episode 19

The story of Changqing’s obsession should have ended several episodes before as all other Princes moved on and shortened the episodes. There wasn’t anything earth shattering about this last few episodes anyway.

It’s a great first episode with several characters introduced but can be confusing, editing is challenging though the storyline kept me interested. I was confused at first as to who is whom until it started making senses. But the series is definitely worth continuing.

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream Episode 8
0 people found this review helpful
Episode 8 begins to show more of our leads’ character. Changyang’s two-year obsession for Qianlang, his focus in planning their eventual relationship. The pain that Qiantian’s past and his acting in this episode needs recognition. The reality of Chinese culture where being gay is not generally accepted by society and parents’ expectations from their children to marry and to bear children. Because it’s a society that averages 1 child per family the pressure is steep to keep the lineage going. Other societies may not have this intense pressure but this is China. And not addressing this matter in this series would just have made this a Cinderella story.

I’m just getting really tired of the repeated injuries and near death and not closer to where this show is going. My energy is getting low and need a pick me upper.

It’s nice to see their relationship growing though I’m still lost why and what they see in each other. And how can a cop turned lawyer cannot fight a woman holding a knife. It’s just so lame.

The Edge of Horizon Episode 3

Episode three is the start of the two path out lovers takes, whether by choice or not. Though awkward as it may be these experiences happens frequently to separated lovers. But I can sense their path will be challenged due to difference in status. This was a time when Thailand’s royalty was losing the people’s trust and communism was the gaining ground across Asia. The French idealism education of Phob along with his painful past may lead to his desire for freedom from the existing rulers, which creates the tension between his love for Prince Tin versus his desire for freedom of the people from the ruling royalties.

A mother’s love is easily misunderstood, the bond of a mother and child is the strongest force in the world. But sometimes the passion youth can blind right from wrong. This episode dwells in the youthful passion of our two protagonists and consequences that follows. Beautifully and artfully told specially the intimate scenesI only wish they would reduce the frequent use of the theme music.

Though their history was shown in a limited way it was enough to demonstrate the depth of their friendship which is their foundation for love. It is no denying a master and servant relationship but not in the form of a slave, but genuine friendship.

Though I don’t find any chemistry in their relationship (just my personal feelings) the story is very intriguing. And without knowing anything about the manga this two is captivating in their own way. Not your typical CEO trope.

Don't Be Too Emotional Episode 2
0 people found this review helpful
wow. The writing is amazing. Mysterious persona with the show reminiscent of “Faust”!or maybe Brad Pitt’s “Meet Joe Black”. Enigmatic and psychological thriller with an amazing soundtrack too boost. The intimate scene was very sensual leaving a lot to the imagination. I just hope no one spoils the rest of the story or at least place a spoiler in their post because I want to wait til the end and hope that my theories are wrong.
