A warm, visually appeasing and heart soothing drama.
I cannot begin to express how beautiful this drama was. I don’t know about anyone else but kdramas are my little escape from reality and this one did not disappoint. It was well written and the actors were so amazing, the chemistry was top tier, they just overall complemented each other well. Right now I will have to rewatch it from episode 1 to 16 bcuz it was that good. Most kdramas give you an “ok” ending but this ending was just so perfect and the relationship was just so extraordinary. At first it seemed as if the relationship between the leads was toxic since they would constantly break up but after learning more about them you realise how healthy their love were.Was this review helpful to you?
Thrilling but not flawless
Squid Game Season 2 delivers another round of twisted, high-stakes challenges with jaw-dropping production design and inventive games that keep you hooked. Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun shine once again, anchoring the chaos with commanding performances. The moral dilemmas remain compelling, and the show still has plenty to say about greed, desperation, and the cost of survival.However, the pacing stumbles in the first few episodes, and some side plots feel more like filler than substance. A few new characters lack the depth that made Season 1’s ensemble so unforgettable, and the emotional punches land softer this time around.
Even so, the tension, style, and sheer spectacle make it a gripping watch. Season 2 might not match the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of its predecessor, but it’s still a bold, thrilling continuation that fans will devour—red jumpsuits, ominous music, and all.

Sweet but Stagnant: A Gentle Romance That Struggles to Move Forward
This live-action adaptation of the beloved manga starts with promise—a quiet, atmospheric tone, a soft visual palette, and earnest performances. It tells the story of Sawako, a misunderstood girl often avoided by classmates due to her resemblance to a horror character, and Shota, a kind, popular boy who sees past the rumors and tries to connect with her.The setup is touching, and the series clearly aims to explore kindness, loneliness, and slow-burning connection. The sincerity is there, and the leads do their best with the material. However, the pacing drags significantly. Episodes often meander with long silences, repeated misunderstandings, and very little forward momentum. Emotional developments are drawn out far past their impact, which weakens the overall emotional payoff.
While the cinematography is lovely and the quiet vibe fits the tone of the story, it sometimes feels too restrained, to the point of being dull. Side characters are present but underdeveloped, which makes their arcs feel flat.
Overall, From Me to You is heartfelt but lacks energy. It’s comforting in a way, but also frustrating in its refusal to move forward. Worth checking out for fans of the manga or slow romance—but don’t expect much urgency or intensity.

A fantasy love story with an absolutely beautiful cast.
I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. I must say though that the first 4 episodes or so were really sad in my opinion, I kept asking myself if I could continue watching this drama, I thought so early in and we are already getting heartbreaks. It reached to a point where they were a few comedic reliefs but I was upset because I wondered why the writers thought putting in comedy could save the melancholic atmosphere of the first few episodes but after enduring the first episodes I started seeing how comedy really turned the story around. I found my self bursting out into laughters. What really made me amaze though was the love story, it was so beautiful because I think what the writers were trying to portray was how powerful love could be that you can fall in love with a person no matter the gender, love is just love and I think that was very beautiful and powerful message.Was this review helpful to you?
Felt rushed not gonna lie.
I mean I get its only like 6 episodes but they couldve removed irrelevant parts of the show and just stick to the progress of the characters relationship. The whole time i was watching it i was thinking to myself, "she likes elephants because her crush is addicted to anything relating to elephants?" or "guy falls for girl cause she likes his writing?" Mind you, she read the script without his permission in the beginning cause she accidentally took his journal. Talk about invasion of privacy. I dont know. I just feel like there couldve been more. It has potential but they didnt use it like shes a freakin badass triad princess for cryin out loud. If theres gonna be a season 2, sorry to say but im not gonna waste my time.Was this review helpful to you?
Totsuzen Desu ga, Ashita Kekkon Shimasu
0 people found this review helpful
Another drama this season tackling the issue of women in the marriage mart.
Wait, what? How can you ask her for marriage when you weren’t even dating or something? That is so sudden but I guess that’s the very reason this drama is called “It’s sudden, but we’re getting married tomorrow”. However, I thought that the marriage proposal will come from Nanaryu first and not Kamiya, so what will happen now?!All in all, Totsuzen desu ga ashita Kekkon Shimasu might be your typical josei drama,OL’s in complicated relationship, but Nishiuchi is always known for her fresh and sweet attitude and it radiates to this drama.I’ll definitely watch more this drama!

Very interesting script.
This series is relaxing and atmospheric. It has some very adorable moments that genuinely warmed my heart. However, the second male lead really got on my nerves with his pickup artist-type behavior, although I’m sure he’s meant to be a kind of parody of that type of guy.I also hated the various remarks about “men are this way and women are that way”. The main male lead can be a bit misogynistic at times and possessive, although he can also be very loving. I just wish the writers would’ve refrained from sticking in weird comments about gender. As a woman, it really irks me. I want to watch a good romance to escape the harsh reality of real relationships, not be reminded of the constant misogyny that plagues everything.
Overall, the story was very cute and heartwarming most of the time. I just could’ve done without the unnecessary sexism.

This Japanese drama is so good!
Honestly, Koshiro (the supposed villain) changing near the end of the show is typical in J-Drama, and that despite the treatment he gave Ayumi, he secretly was supporting her and was trying his best to get her body back. His character doesn't make sense, did he fake wanting Kaga's body? Or was that just a ploy to get Umine to trust him?Anyways, Kaga is and always will be the main hero of the story, the one who realized Ayumi was in Umine's body first, the one who made everyone happy, and the one person anyone could rely on. It's sad how Dramas always dangle the "best friend" as a choice for love interest but never follows through. I watched so many dramas that the best friend is never the choice in the end, so I kinda guessed it.

This is my kind of drama.
The plot is the effect of an unexpected, tragic outcome in the prime of one’s life. The example is the inaction of the woman who wasted many years in indecisiveness. That loss is the message of the series. However this series was focused on Son Ye Jin. That is the weakness of this series. It diverted the audience’s compassion, to the acting skills of a peripheral figure. Son ye Jin’s character did not need to have a mask. She is capable to show a stoic expression very well.I liked the invitation to see the peony and the aftermath. It was extremely sensual and stirred my groin. I am 76 years old and only my husband has been able to stir these emotions since we both were 17 years old.

Will not recommend.
Very boring and the acting wasn't good either,, there was no chemistry between the actors and the plot was literally non existent, god i wish i never watched this.There's weaknesses. It falls short in some areas. They could have played up the new difference in strength a little more. She is now he. She can push him around some - and he definitely has something coming. They missed some opportunities to have more fun with that. There's some plot devices that feel wedged in poorly, like the mini drama in which an ankle injury might get in the way of an important show. The weirdest thing about it is how they become attracted to eachother. Can you imagine kissing yourself? I can't. I know we're supposed to love ourselves... but that doesn't mean we're supposed to LUV ourselves...

Yea, I like this drama. It’s quite emotional.
The way it showed the sincere love of a couple is really cool, also the words they say are touching. And I think the idea is unique. I’ve watched many time travel dramas and movies, but this one is not like the others. It’s not about going to the past or future. It’s about being stuck in a day. Interesting.
If you’re about to watch this drama. I recommend:”(
This is really sweet and heartwarming which will make you believe in love and destiny.
Honestly I think their should be season 2 or at least a movie of what happened at the end ,the particular reason for this circumstance is because of the title "one more time" and at the end they are gonna re meet
one more time ,my question : how does it happened ?
This is why I think they should do a season 2 or at least a movie.

A slow paced, borderline dark, intriguing mystery thriller.
Great show! I felt there was a lack of mystery half way through the show. But it was well put together. I don't want to spoil anything but wished they left room for a second season. There is a manga so I might take a look at it too.This was an absolute amazing experience the storyline was totally compelling fell in love with all the children's attraction to keeping each other safe from any harm this series is a good as grave of the fireflies.
It totally blew my mind amazing acting it really delivered well through to the audience .

This drama was beyond addicting and I HIGHLY recommend this.
The characters are great and the show has emotional themes, keeps you on the edge of your seat and will make you crack up at times.Had to take a star because the ending left a lot to be desired but also the main character’s relationship can be problematic - I can confirm they were violent towards each other more times than they kissed lol and there are definitely themes of manipulation or sexual assault that were supposed to be made humorous at times which I felt a little concerning.
Other than that the show will make you audibly laugh out loud, and bawl your eyes out on multiple occasions. Amazing drama!

To be pretty blunt it was not that good of a drama.
It was based off of the c drama A Love So Beautiful so I can’t really blame the writers that much but I’ll give my input.Pros: cute, emotional, good actors, and fair enough comedy.
Con: underdeveloped plot, characters are sort of basic, lack of clarity in direction of the show, and cliche.
I would say this is for the ones who live for romantic, cute, heartwarming, tsundre, sad backstory dramas. (No judging we all need those in our life at some point). If you’re looking to be invested in this drama spending every night watching it and preparing to look up every little detail about it then....

I really really liked this documentary.
As a fan, of course it will the best documentary that i watched in this life.The moments, the live action, the feelings shown are so true and there was not a single moment which I felt they are not doing great. Caroline really showed us what we've been waiting for. The camera director really captured those heartfelt moments. We have seen their tours and behind the scenes but we didn't see how Blackpink was formed and I happy that we got to see it today. The only thing that saddens me is that the video seems so short . It is short but it's worth it. I hope they continue to produce Blackpink's later journey in this form.
