Uncomfortable at first but a truly emotional resonant drama
I give it a begrudging overall 9/10 .I just want to start of by saying that Goblin is a really sad drama . I just want to put that out there because all the top comments and reviews out there on the World Wide Web rave on in a fan girl manner that you would think it’s Boys Over Flowers . I was misled and the sadness genuinely caught me off guard. It’s SAD.
Now that’s out of the way - let me address why I give it a begrudging 9/10.
Goblin did not convince me at all that it is a perfect show. It’s age gap and high school lead was really uncomfortable for me to fathom .Why did they have to make her into a high school kid though ? And though Gong Yoo is hot and all ; he really looked considerably older than his female lead and that was just uncomfortable. But that’s an internal personal bias and has nothing to do with the plot unraveling . Creep factor aside - this was a really original story with an interesting and dare I say new premise. I admired how the writers stayed true to their intentions and you could tell they never fell off but kept focused . It had great quotes too and I loved the deity aspect of the show - it gave it a divine elegance.
However - This is a tricky review to write because as a romantic drama - it ticks all the right boxes . Great sweeping love declaration scenes ? Yes . In fact they are touching. Angst ? Yes - sure to cry like a baby . Great supporting leads with equally engaging angsty story lines ? Yes , yes and yes. Great romantic kissing scenes ? Yes.But nooo. It’s not a 10 . The plot was not tight enough . It was repetitive using the same set ups over and over again that it actually wasted time in setting up other important relationships such as the supporting leads relationship progression and the reincarnated relationships that were discovered along the line. Kudos though to the plot twists which were very much appreciated. Sure to keep a viewer tuning in.
It also had time in its 16 episodes with rich story to insert a villain which I thought was deft. I also liked the way they handled the past informing the present and the notion of reincarnation and it’s supporting motifs. The romances were also lovely. Emotional resonance was very strong too. I cried like a baby in Ep 13 which is one of the best moments in tv history . The last episode was so poignantly sad too. Comedy was also very well done .
The acting and cast were unblemished . Gong Yoo was so funny and melancholy at the same time . The Grim Reaper was gorgeous and grim at the same time and the female leads were assertive , spunky yet passionate in the same this show
The soundtrack is quite possibly one of the best of the best and does much to bolster the ratings . I loved every song and my standouts were Beautiful Life , Hush ( Goblin lullaby, the second leads song I miss You , I Will Go To You Like the First Snow, oh my word - I’m listing the whole sound track ! That’s how good it is !
The fashion was off the charts! Deok Hwa’s coats and suits , Grim Reaper’s cozy oversized sweaters and Goblin’s coats were amazing! Sunny’s outfits are worthy of a Pinterest board alone.
Rewatch value is quite strong once I get over the creep factor . Souls are apparently immortal and ageless right ? So we will stick with that and suck it up ...
As for the OVERALL - don’t waste anymore time and go ahead and watch it ! If there’s anything this show convinced me of other than a sad love of a lonely and great god Is that it’s definitely one of those shows you need to have under your belt for posterity reasons . Also ,If you loved My Love From the Star , you will surely find this pleasant too. If you like some supernatural and super sadness then this one is for you .

Strong start but weak progression
Love in the Moonlight is one of those dramas that are considered gateway dramas for most. I can see why and how it can make for a good first start in saegeuks , cross dress and just overall first k drama. It's approachable, youthful and cute.Be that as it may, it's not great and watches tiredly.
At first, it's lively balance of comedy, politics and romance was pretty well done that you will be tuning in for next 10 eps like I did. The female lead is tenacious, spunky and witty and she is surrounded by a cute crown prince and two very strong mysterious men who encompass the crown prince's friend group. The story surrounding why she cross dresses will pique your interest, so will the court intrigues surrounding the Premier and his dastardly tricks and some uprising that occurred before the show started. BUT even with all that, it got boring, wearisome and tiring.
I believe it's down to underwriting the main leads who just became puddles of their former glorious selves. The female lead lost her spunk and the main lead lost his grace. In fact, he became less understandable and pricklier which I found confusing. The trope for the prickly male lead is prickly in the first half and soft and self-sacrificing in the second half? No? Well, apparently, it's a no.
It even had some great and reflective quotes going for it but then they started saying some really cringe things. I did not like that inconsistency too.
The direction and editing were also annoying. There were so many pauses and focuses on their faces as they were staring at NOTHING. It got infuriating, I just dropped it.
OVERALL: There are far better youthful saegeuks out there that one can watch. i.e Moon Embracing the Sun . Sungkwan Scandal etc

A really , really , captivating watch.
Train to Busan was always on my watchlist but I felt really compelled to watch it now especially in these pandemic times . I’m so glad I did because it actually distracted me from the Covid- 19 news in a good way .I really think that what makes a good movie is it’s ability to engross you into its world unabashedly and entirely . A movie is really epic when it has you feeling its effects , motifs and themes on an emotive level . A movie is especially ground breaking when it offers perspectives illustrated uniquely and has you thinking about them long after the credits roll. All of that is Train to Busan .
This dystopian/ horror movie encapsulated my attention for its entire run . Great story build up with the father / child relationship remaining the core . It also had superb character progression that was fuel for really sad climaxes . I must also warn that there are a goodly amount of jump scares so be prepared!
I especially admired the use of a zombie contagion vehicle to transport the human elements at the core of this dystopian film . The commentary on selfishness, individualism , big corporation and community was very welcome and displayed that this movie had brains and heart .
Acting was superb with Gong Yoo leading the charge . The nuance he employed in this role was absolutely commendable and he once again , brought amazing pathos . Ma Dong Seok portrayed an extremely capable person so fluidly and Jung Yoo Mi was really compassionate in her performance. Supporting cast was great too and special mention to Choi Woo Shik .
Overall- it was a captivating and tense watch which scored big in my movie checklist . It’s engrossing , captivating and brilliantly simply done .

Relatively very pleasant but lacking in emotional resonance
The Master”s Sun is objectively, a very pleasant watch. The story is very easy to follow with great insertions of mystery , thrill , comedy , horror and romance . The writers really executed balance in all ways in this drama for sure.However, as I finish the title - I’m left with an overwhelming sense of lack lustre feelings . The romances were not that emotionally gripping , the love declaration scenes were not noteworthy. Moreover , I personally felt the romances were immature in nature . There seemed to be numerous misunderstandings but coupled with a lot of communication which did not make sense in the end. On the flip side - I do like how this drama had a period feel to it . Where one touch of the hand did more than a racy scene . That was nice . Plus the side romances are quite sweet too.
Then there were the ghosts . The format of ghost story of the week was plausibily engaging. But subjectively I was not a fan in the beginning and found sone of the ghost stories in the first half of the drama quite wearisome.
As for the acting - I wouldn’t say it was mind blowing but definitely special mention to Gong Hyo -Jin. She acted her part perfectly. The male lead was kind of lacking to be honest . The comedy was spot on but his emotional pathos seemed a bit trying which was odd because he was so great and tortured in I’m Sorry, I Love You. Perhaps it was his script that imprisoned his charisma.? Because he came across as stilted .
The music was lovely. Loved the sing along Touch Love and Hyorin’s Driving Me Crazy was beautiful.
I’m not a rewatch fan generally speaking but sometimes I can be swayed but not this time .
Overall- it’s actually a good show and I can see the hype surrounding it but subjectively speaking - I failed to see its emotional resonance .

It’s on another level for sure.
Samsoon was the first ever drama I ever watched however I was young at the time so I never quite fully appreciated this gem but at the time - I knew it was good .10 years later , I revisit it with fresh eyes , a more mature outlook and as a seasoned K Drama viewer to boot and I must say - this drama is legitimately top tier.
Its top tier because it followed through with everything they set themselves up for . Further more- it shot its shot and ran with their game in total sophistication, character and charisma . I can see how some will say it’s not exciting just like some say Friends is dry or How I Met your Mother is overrated . These shows do not have the in your face total full house of shots like the mainstream but instead are leagues of their own in the sense that they created their own tropes, motifs and symbols whilst still finding inspiration from the classic set pieces like in Samsoon’s case :the usual tropes of wrist grabbing , annoying ex’s and hate turns to love what not but it’s so greatly done . It has a luxuriant pace which is absolutely delightful.
Acting was great . Instant classic roles of Kim Sun Ah and Hyun Bin. I give it a 9.5 because Daniel Henney showed no dimension at all and it was particularly jarring in contrast with his talented cast. However overall , everyone else including the most minor character like Ki Bang were very good.
Music also does a lot to seal the deal with how iconic this show is. It’s use of French pop to accentuate the protagonists food endeavors was well done . Music should also tell the story of the drama an I felt this was particularly well done in my Lovely Samsoon. Moreover- American pop culture phenomenon songs like Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love to Mario’s Let Me Love You were refreshing . Aaaaaand of course Clazziquai’s She Is is just perfecto .
Overall, this is definitely in my top 5 of fave dramas, fave OTPs and fave female leads and male leads.
“One cup of coffee, five kilocalories. Equivalent to five minutes of kissing. What is the total calorie of all the kisses we sharede leads over three years? And the calories of love?”Rewatch is guaranteed .

It ticks every box and more .
Swoon.I watched You Who Came From the Stars (YWCFTS) purely because of the story line and boy was I not disappointed! I expect nothing less from men but a hot alien who has accumulated a wealth of knowledge , experience and literal wealth over the course of 400 years. That’s besides the point though.
I highly recommend this drama because the story line is very intriguing so a pull through is definite even for the picky viewers. The parallel arches of the two protagonists is very good and if you are a sucker for fate then this one is for the ages . The story is actually simple enough to follow and this is a K Drama with everything-. It’s a love story for the literal ages as it spans years , its a melodrama yet spiced with an evil chaebol villain and the social commentary on celebrity culture in Korea made this quite a wholesome story.. It has great morals and the script makes for great food for thought. I especially loved the comedy in this and was guaranteed a huge laugh which just makes this drama all the more approachable and quite good. To date - it’s one of the funniest dramas I have ever watched.
I think the highlight of this drama is how real and unaffected the female protagonist was written. She is not annoying in the slightest bit and everything she does makes sense albeit hilarious and there’s none of that noble idiocy that K Dramas seem to gravitate towards.There were some teeny plot holes that affected the rating of the story to be a 9.5 but nothing too major.
As for the acting and cast - very good. I could say perfect but going in I was a bit unsure about the compatibility of the two as the chemistry was a slow bubble at first and I think that’s down to Kim So Hyun baby face looks and Jun Hi Hyun elegant face which was a discrepancy at first but was actually perfect taken with context of the story. The casting directors really hit the jackpot with these two expressive actors ! Furthermore, supporting cast was great too . I particularly loved Park Hae Jin who plays the second lead and I plan to make it a point to watch his dramas.
The music is virtually non existent but what is there is perfectly fine.The instrumentals were stellar and flooring . What does take the space of the music is the stellar fashion. I was swooning for every outfit that the main cast wore . I actually take away a few styling quips from YWCFTS such as Lee Hwigeong’s ( Park Hae Jin) turtle neck and coat ensembles , Doo Min Joon’s (Kim So Hyun) structured coat collars and the ladies penchant for leather pants , belted blazers and tasteful sparkle . The fashion is a definite 10.
Rewatch value is a 10 out of 10 and I’m very stingy with rewatch value scores but I’m definitely watching the “severely beautiful” Cheon Song Yi and Do Min Joon again . There are some cult classic scenes and lines in this drama that are absolute gems to not be watched more than once .
Overall it was such a fluid watch and so much fun to watch too! And personally that’s what makes a good show in the end . Fluidity.

The jazz of a saeguk spiced with fantasy that pivots on a poignant human story
As far as my K Drama watching goes - this was an adventurous pick and I’m glad I watched because it opened me up to a new genre of KDramas that I actually quite like.I try to watch dramas because of the synopsis and not because of who’s in it and how popular or not popular it was. Being an objective viewer of tv just saves a lot of energy and steers away disappointment. And that’s what I learnt with the show.
The story is stellar and very intriguing. I particularly loved the humaness of it all and how it portrayed flaws ,shortcomings and the sometimes cruel consequences that result in the quest for righteousness. Master Choi and his family’s story arch was particularly poignant in the portrayal of the above mentioned. I also enjoyed the villains . I love being challenged and provoked by a villain especially when they somewhat make sense, The shaman has some profound lines to make for food for thought in the development of the drama.
The court angle was also very pleasant though it was not quite the education in Joseon Dynatsy . Again - the important thing to note about Mirror of the Witch is that it’s a story about humaness and its flaws. All the other things like the magic ,court intrigues etc just support the narrative.
As for the cast - I wouldn’t change a thing . Yoon Shi- Yoon was a great balance to the intense palette of the show and Kim Sae Ron gave a measured and good performance. I loved Yum Jang Uh as the antagonist and special mention to Jang Hee Jin and especially Lee Ji Hoon as the replacement king . He was really good.
The chemistry with the cast was also on point which is a rarity in the K Drama world . All sides of the cast gelled supremely well which I believe counters the drag around ep 16.
The music was okay. Not great but okay.
I also find when reviewing saeguks- one must tackle the costume design. I give the costume a 10 out 10 . The costumes were beautiful that they distracted me from reading the subtitles.
Rewatch value is almost non existent because of the nature of the show . You already know what’s going to happen and all the intrigues so what’s the fun?
Now for The ending . It was sweet and cleverly done. I don’t understand how people are objecting to that ending. It does fair enough justice to the story especially given the nature of the drama.

Intensely perfect
I really adored this drama. It’s different and quite particular like a dry wine which makes it all the more special. The two leads flawlessly acted the screenplay and the silences are quite pregnant that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of television I have beheld. Yoo Ah In is especially top notch. Plus Kim Hee-ae character is one of the few female leads who never annoyed.As for the story - it’s particular . If you are not drawn in by the synopsis at first then this might be a strenuous watch. However if you are intrigued and very interested then you will get quite the opposite . You will get a rewarding experience full of beautiful classical pieces and tense scenes and an overwhelming sense of honour and nobility in unkind circumstances.
It’s also quite the education. The class system is relavantly depicted in all its unfair cruel light and one is made distinctly aware of strata , status and class in South Korea.
Would I classify it as a love story ? No , not really . This is more a story of two individuals with a passion for music living in a dispassionate society yet they are paradoxically filled with intense passion. This passion then as a consequence breeds a thrilling romance between the two to culminate into a wholesome story of courage and honour in the guise of tragedy,
Is it good for rewatches . No not really . Just like that dry wine I was talking of earlier- this drama only comes in one bottle and the pleasure cannot be recreated . It’s special.

It’s a trope fest so you gotta appreciate tropes to actually see this drama for the beauty it is.
As the headline states - to be honest with you , it is a real trope fest ! I’m talking chaebol, fate,noble sacrifice, second bananas, rich and poor etc . The whole shebang !I really appreciated the tongue-in-cheek honesty and found this refreshing.As for my review- This is a really fluid watch hence the utter high marks I give it .Its not strenuous in the slightest nor is it frustrating. To me , fluidity and the feelings aroused are very important points in my drama forays. WWWSK passes it all.
STORY- well , the synopsis is not much to chew on and I advise those wanting to watch to go in with the low expectation the synopsis provides. You will be surprised by the elements that this drama brings. What you see is also not what you get as well in regards to the OTP.It really isn’t all about a secretary and her boss but let me keep quiet before I spoil. I especially loved its honesty in knowing it was a trope filled rom com and I loved the truthfulness of spinning each trope (knowingly with a wink to the viewer) on its head . I loved how the story was really inclusive of the viewer .I almost felt like a cast member hence WWWSK is engaging . It’s a bright , fluffy and really entertaining watch. The elements of it being based on a web toon added the X factor to the refreshing aspect of WWWSK.To juxtapose - I like the seriousness and thoughtfulness that the main leads incorporate .To be specific - I liked how the main OTPs actually listen to each other when they express feelings or opinions,. There are no plot holes and everything is all very satisfying. Such stellar romantic quotes and flooring declarations plus revelations enough to make you swoon to the gods. Moreover - the subsidiary stories were fun to watch hence the 10.
ACTING - lovely! For once not a stiff wooden female lead and I am soooo grateful for that . She actually closes her eyes when kissing ! In my view - the cast was flawless . They had so much energy and charisma plus geled really well together . The cast is dare I say almost iconic ? Like , I was nearly convinced they were actually really really firm chums in real life having a ball working together . Loved the expressive Park Min Young and the depth and charismatic range Park Seo Joon .
MUSIC - great OST . Loved every tune especially the poignant and profundity that is Its You by Jeong Sewoon. This song actually tells the whole story if one is paying close attention.
FASHION - 10 as well. All the outfits really communicated the characters portraits very well. The fun office girl wore shorts suits , the cutesy one wore baby doll blouses ,chaebol never really got casual etc you get the picture. Office wear was also done in a very approachable manner fit for any Pinterest board. Plus really loved all the accessories as well . Pretty earrings and great handbags . Young Jun’s suits were also really good though I loved his take on casual which wasn’t casual but really communicated the ethos of his character.
REWATCH - yes . I will definitely revisit sometime . It will be fun watching trying to figure out and pin point when and where exactly all the characters really fell for each other . Plus Park Seo Joon has really funny lines .
OVERALL- Personally a firm fave of mine . It’s going into my lists for fave dramas and OTPs . Perhaps the only critique I can give is that the final episodes did delve into some sort of fan service of some sort . Some may say towards the end there was no plot development but what do you want from a rom com ? A masked serial killer ? I personally want cute scenes and resolve and if it means an overload of pretty cute scenes that are actually coherent and reflective then bring on the fan service !
Go watch . It’s better than The Heirs which I dropped and found in its pathetic stead - this gem WWWSK. HA !

Empress Ki Had It All—Until It Didn’t
I really loved Empress Ki,at least for the first, say, 37 episodes. It starts off as a bold, compelling historical drama with so much going for it: sharp political commentary, deep questions about nationalism, identity, citizenship, and the role of an outsider in a dominant system. It explored class, immigration, the economy and did so with emotional depth and nuance. And don’t even get me started on that love triangle. Hands down one of the most devastating I’ve seen in K-drama.The cast? Impeccable. Ji Chang Wook’s portrayal of the flawed, infuriating, and vulnerable emperor was both maddening and strangely endearing. Ha Ji Won as Nyang delivered a powerhouse performance—absolutely a tour de force. But honestly? The true scene-stealers were the villains. Tana Shili and Yong Chul have career defining performances and I’m glad she got a Baeksang . She was electric.
Wang Yu, the perfect, noble king/crown prince—was such a steadying force. He mirrored the inner worlds of all the characters, grounding the story with dignity and purpose. And let’s not forget the beautifully layered supporting cast: TalTal , Baek An, and so many others wove a rich tapestry of drama, loyalty, betrayal, and survival.
So with all this… why do I give it a 5/10?
Because somewhere along the way, the drama lost the plot. Literally. It veered very hard into makjang territory and logic, continuity, and character arcs were sacrificed at the altar of shock value. Characters were killed not for narrative weight, but just because. Twists were inserted just to keep things “exciting,” but they undermined everything we had come to know and feel. I was so unbalanced in the end that
People who were once richly developed started acting completely out of character. Values were thrown out the window. We were being asked to forget everything we knew and just accept wild, chaotic plot turns. I blame poor writing for this. The time jumps were awkward at best, completely jarring at worst. They didn’t feel like bold storytelling choices—they felt like a panic move, a desperate effort to avoid filler by throwing in absurdity.
And then there was the final episodes .After so many deaths, gut-wrenching scenes, and tragic arcs, stories were failing to land the emotional punch they were aiming for. It felt hollow, even farcical at times. Characters suffered so needlessly it felt less like tragedy and more like punishment. You’d think the main cast had committed war crimes in a past life for the amount of misery they endured.
It’s frustrating because Empress Ki had everything it needed to be a 10/10 drama. And for much of it, it really was. But the descent into chaos in the final act left me more heartbroken than satisfied.
That said, if you’re in it for a sweeping, dramatic, edge-of-your-seat ride with unforgettable performances, this is definitely worth your time. Just don’t expect narrative cohesion by the end. It’s a flawed epic—but still an epic nonetheless.

Cinema that marries intelligence with emotional depth
The Spy Gone North offers a very finely crafted cinematic experience, blending nuanced storytelling with deeply emotional undertones that resonate long after the screen fades to black.Set against the backdrop of a politically charged era, the film masterfully navigates the complex landscape of the National Intelligence Service's shenanigans as well as the intricate and often tense relations between North and South Korea. This is espionage storytelling at its finest—deciding to forego the typical high-octane action sequences for a more intellectually stimulating and magnanimous approach. The screenplay is a work of art in itself, demanding the viewer's undivided attention; a momentary lapse of looking at that Whatsapp message could mean missing a crucial piece of the intricate narrative puzzle.
The performances are nothing short of stellar, with the cast delivering their roles with a compelling authenticity that adds depth to the already rich narrative. Complemented by a great musical score, the film not only entertains but also provokes thought, making a significant statement that lingers .
In summary, "The Spy Gone North" is not just an exceptional film within its genre but stands as a formidable entry in the espionage genre. It holds its own alongside classics like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," and I fully believe it has the makings of a future cult classic. This film is a must-watch for aficionados of the genre and anyone who appreciates cinema that marries intelligence with emotional depth

Cute filler show
Umm , this show is strange but in a unique way , it’s also cringe but it in a charming way . I really enjoyed dutifully putting it on everyday after a couple tasks . It’s a really cute filler series as well for when you need a nice fluffy inbetweener or a break from a heavy drama you may have on rotation . Or just a good ole binge . It won’t take long .The leads have great chemistry and deliver cute performances that make you root for their characters' budding romance. Their on-screen dynamic is filled with charm, and their interactions are both funny and endearing.
This show doesn’t even make sense like how they fell in love sooo unrealistically quickly but I rolled with it unabashedly and SKINSHIP helped too. wink wink
Side bar : sometimes shows are good for the charisma even though they have zero plot and Shanai is such an example.

Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun
1 people found this review helpful
Blockbuster season with decent follow through from S1
Season 1 provided the depth , ruminations on civilization and tribalism with stellar commentary on how civilisations spin spiritual doctrines to suit their greed and ambition whilst season 2 ups the stakes in a very do and die manner with stellar action scenes and INTENSITY.This season is a definite must watch for those who watched s1.The world building continues to be compelling and the commentary is stunning as ever . I have always appreciated Arthdal Chronicles for its commentary on religion and beliefs. And how both keep order and peace but ironically can cause conflicts and war.
The music was great and I never skipped the theme song , acting was stellar too with stand out performances from Jang Dong Gun who finished Tagon with such pomp and emotive flair. His portrayal is truly a best actor contender of the year for me along with the leads in My Dearest, Worst of Evil and Moving in 2023.
Overall- objectively speaking , there were some weak points but when Arthdal shines? It really shines. Some of the best tv episodes of the year and just in the fantasy genre are housed in ep 9 and 10 of season 2 alone hence why I score this a more than decent 8/10.

This drama gave me STRESS
This is a very good drama that is all types of twisty and bendy in the best way .The plot device is not so much physical twists but more so emotional twists . All is not what it seems on the emotional front . I found that very novel and well done .
By the way / lots of romance . Lots of it . And it’s so wonderfully inserted . Dare I say it’s epic !
Acting is superb . Lee Jong Ki shows immense range ,control and sheer excellence . He is officially a favorite of mine . He made watching Moon Lovers bearable and in FoE he has a great script and brilliantly shines .
Moon Chae Won was brilliant too . Great emotive acting with the professional restraint that was needed for her cop role . Another one going in the fave actors list
Shoutout to the villains for actually being soooo scary . I was legitimately frightened of them . Dripping in scariness for sure .
So why the 9 and not a full ten ? Well , the show got a bit soap opera and melodrama like in a way that was trope leaden . It didn’t remain sober in approach . If you are looking for a Signal vibe in here , then that is definitely not in here .
However , atmosphere modulation is up there with the best in K Drama land . The choreography of scenes was just beautifully strung together . There’s an episode 10 that is just a masterpiece!
Overall: Happy to see it won Best Director at the Baeksang awards . It was well directed . 10/10 for the sheer stress I was constantly in . I had to constantly pause to give myself a break.It was too much . But sooooo much in a good way .

Run of the mill with a little something special
Business Proposal is your typical K Drama romance comedy with the rich taciturn chaebol, his good friend, obsessive guardian/ parent, tragic story, poor girl but conscientious with funny hardworking parents plus bestie. You get it, your typical archetypes. And that's the brilliance and warmth about it really. It does not reinvent the wheel but drives a bus we are so fondly familiar with.That being said, that's where the greatness of this drama ends. It becomes slightly superfluous and not so tight in its story telling but you know what? That is okay too because its not proclaiming to be Ahn Pan Seok profundity and it still nailed its brief.
Give it a watch for its sizzling chemistry, commentary on spy cams and warm romance.
