a legend is born!
finished 10/10 💞✨I loved every single aspect of this story... a well-written script, a luxury cast, excellent special effects and an ost of beautiful songs.
A very mature and at the same time tender leading couple, both were not looking for love, only to be faithful to their destiny and duty, but life brought them together and they decided to fight for their destiny.
an incredible chemistry 1000/1000 💖
the most perfect ending I could wish for, I hope you give this drama a chance you won't give up

Disappointing fantasy!
finished!In general I liked how it started, the different stories and how they helped the spirits get their second chance.
then the story went downhill, the script became terrible and I had expectations for certain characters and they were not given the closure that I would have liked
The only thing that saved is the leading couple, they gave me very nice moments and they had a 10/10 chemistry ✨
The ending left me something??? some twists that didn't make sense and the final scene was too simple

love story full of tenderness
I'll be honest! I'm not a fan of cdramas because most of them are very long and so many chapters overwhelm me!but seeing myself in a blockage I decided to give it a chance to see something different... I loved it in many possible ways!
It highlighted the incredible chemistry of the protagonists that for me crossed the screens, a beautiful story of love and improvement where forgiveness and second chances are the protagonists
A special mention to the ost that has wonderful songs, a big fan!

a veterinarian and a police officer in a small town
finished 7.5/10 ⭐️i'll be honest: I watched this kdrama because of the lead actor, since I really liked his performance in The Trauma Code and Head Over Heels... I think it was generally good, but it had a lot of script issues... There were also some very unpleasant characters that made it difficult to enjoy the plot as such.
The ex-girlfriend thing, the best friend in love thing, was given too much importance when they could have focused on the romantic growth of the protagonists.
The ending was very meh. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't like it either; it was too weak... which is a shame because the main couple had a lot of potential.

an adaptation worth seeing ?
finished 9/10 🌟I must say it's one of the best adaptations I've seen in a long time
I was afraid it wouldn't be up to the Korean standard, but overall they managed to give it a good performance 👏
I liked the main characters and the story... they managed to give it their typical J-drama touch, which I loved.
The villains were also up to par, my respect 👏
The chemistry was present although I admit that I would have liked more romantic moments and more kisses 🤭
I loved the villains' ending and I feel like it was the best part of it all ❤️🔥
If I'm honest, this is how I wanted the Korean version of karma to be.
Yes, I think he wanted a wedding and children and it was strange that after 10 years they finally proposed to each other, but the truth is it didn't bother me that much ✨
I recommend this version, the same as the original story but still different in essence 👏

a peony that blooms in the face of adversity
finished 9/10 🌟Second part of Flourished Peony and one of the premieres I was most looking forward to 🙌✨
I have to say a lot of things about this drama... overall I really liked it, a well-made female-central drama and if I'm honest, one of the best I've seen 👏
Yang Zi is an actress I met thanks to this project, and I know I'll pay more attention to her work in the future.
Mudan became one of my favorite female characters... a woman who fought against all fate, always in a dignified and honest way ❤️
A story that takes us back to a time when women in the business world were non-existent, but she achieved it with so much effort and hard work.
Jiang, a charismatic but tough character... had a very good and mature personal growth ✨
The chemistry between the leads was already magical in the first part, and in this second part, the level rose to 100% ❤️
In part thanks to Yang Zi and Lixian's incredible personal friendship in real life 🫶
Yes, I think that in terms of plot, the first part was a little more interesting, but overall there were 56 well-constructed chapters with a great message ✨
I took off some points for the villains' performance, which in my opinion was very null, it didn't meet my expectations
But I will definitely recommend this drama to everyone ✨
Thank you, Flourished Peony/In the Name of Blossom, for becoming the best thing to come out in 2025 👏

A journey through the battle between humans and demons
finished 8.5/10 🌟*long review*
What a trip I had with #loveinpavilion
If I'm honest, my main reason for watching this drama was for the supporting roles and I was afraid of finding a boring story, However, I found that I enjoyed the overview more than I expected 👀
Now, let's get to what I liked most:
1) The protagonists, although they had criticism about their chemistry or their acting, I really liked them and enjoyed their moments both individually as individuals... I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing them perform before so I will try to look for more projects from both of them in the future 👏
2) The secondary characters were my main motivation and they didn't disappoint me.
The interesting thing is that most of them they achieved quite a bit of relevance after the drama was recorded, so in terms of strategy I feel that helped a lot.
I will make a special mention to my king Ding Yuxi who for me had the best cameo of all (I say this very objectively) he managed to exceed my expectations 👏✨
3) The special effects and the ost, I must say that they have been my favorites, they were in agreement and managed to capture each of the scenes
Now I'm going to talk about what I didn't like about the drama:
1) I feel it was poorly edited, at times there were scene jumps that left me confused and somewhat dazed
2) I feel like the number of episodes took its toll on them.
36 episodes weren't enough. A drama of this caliber deserved at least 50 episodes. They also wasted their time on the scenes, super lazy and silly.
3) There were characters that bored me to death, characters that drove me crazy, arcs that made me sleepy, and some really ugly costumes 😂
The good thing is that this was told so it didn't ruin my beautiful eyes
Having said all this, I have to be honest:
I knew what to expect and I'm not going to start criticizing it because everything was said in this story being a prequel.
There were actions I would have preferred to have been addressed differently, but I'm satisfied with the overall result.
This concludes this trip. 👏💗

a story of women and revenge ?
finished 9/10 🌟(long review)
I had a tremendous personal journey with this drama 😅
Between my work, waiting for the episodes to be translated, and avoiding spoilers... finally! I can say I've finished it!
Now let's get to the important stuff ⤵️
Overall, the story was very good.
It's NOT a romantic drama at all, so if you're looking for that, I recommend you skip it.
This story is 100% focused on its main protagonist and his journey through lies, secrets and dangers to find what he loves.
Chen Duling is an actress I'd only previously seen in TTEOTM, and while she never stood out to me, I feel like she nailed this character and gave a magnificent performance. 👏
Xin Yunlai had seen him in TLOSL as a secondary character, I really liked how he acted here... although his wardrobe was criticized and the fact that he doesn't have the "face for the historical ones" I feel that he brought out his character and he did it very well. 👏
SPECIAL MENTION TO:
Wen Zheng Rong 👏👏👏👏👏
A tremendous actress, my goodness, a supporting character who captured my heart 💓
That woman deserves all the recognition in the world.
Xiwen's character took me on a great journey full of emotions.
I still suffer with her fate. 😭💔
What I didn't like about the drama:
The last 10 episodes were kind of mediocre for me.
I think the excitement of the first part of the plot was lost a bit.
The ending left me unsatisfied. I think these endings open to interpretation are in trend, but the truth is, I hate it.
I still enjoyed it, and it'll be a drama I'll remember fondly. 👏
Wonderful work. 🙌

A journey into martial arts and poisonous potions
finished 9/10 🌟I DEMAND MY SECOND SEASON HOW ARE THEY GOING TO LEAVE THAT ENDING LIKE THAT?! 😭
apart from that...
I must say that in general it has become one of my favorite historical dramas 💖
it has been my favorite so far... It has been so far my favorite characters of Esther Yu and Zhang Linghe 👏
On top of that, their chemistry was 10/10 🔥
I liked the script even though it had its boring parts
The fight scenes were my favorites, I loved the entire visual effect of the drama from its direction, photography to the costumes, which I must say are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
I thought I would like the supporting characters from the edits I had seen but they were super meh for me
I liked his character on an individual level but I had a hard time connecting with her
her ending was also super open but if I'm honest I cared very little
Although it took me a while to watch it because of my lack of time, I really enjoyed the story

The story of a woman and her journey through flowers!
finished 9.5/10 🌟first part of flourished peony
i have loved each and every aspect of this drama
mudan's personal journey has been one of the most painful but also one of the most beautiful i have seen... a drama focused mainly on women who fight day after day to be independent and fulfill their dreams
Yangzi's performance touched me deep in the heart ❤️
Lixian with perfect charisma and a character to fear has given me a character that I loved with all my being 🤍
beautiful music, incredible scenery, heartbreaking, impressive and harmonious scenes... a cast that was up to par
i don't give it a full score because personally the last two chapters were filler although that doesn't take away from the magnificence I was
anxious for time to pass to see the second part 👏✨

medical trauma team in action!
finished 9.5/10 🌟👏Netflix started off strong this 2025!
I'm not a big fan of medical kdramas but this one in particular became my favorite of the genre! a medical team headed by a particular trauma doctor, a young inexperienced doctor and a tough nurse ✨
I love stories where each chapter leads a different plot without losing the drama scene as suchAction, suspense and touches of comedy a perfect package!
I didn't give it a full rating because there were a couple of scenes that bored me.
But if I'm honest, it's one of the few premieres that saved the K-drama premieres this January!
I recommend it 100% 🤍

MASTERPIECE!!!
I will only say these words:MASTERPIECE!!!! 🚬
1000/1000
Beautiful story, well-crafted script, just the right amount of action, suspense and intrigue.
praying that the protagonists have another drama together in the future 🙏❤️
Each character was well cared for, each scene well planned, you could feel the pain, confusion and adrenaline of each of the characters.
15 well-summarized chapters, never felt like filler scenes or unnecessary arguments... this drama deserves much more recognition!

short crazy story!
finished 8.5/10 ✨Overall I liked it, it had very funny scenes and its theme seemed similar to extraordinary you in terms of the change of scenes and scripts... if I'm honest I like Nam Ja Yeom personality that of the protagonist of the spinoff I also like the personality of like gyu hyun that of the protagonist of the spinoff but it was excellent to pass the while.
I hope Lee Sangyi and Han Jihyun have another drama together in the future where they can shine more because they have great chemistry 💯

reunion after 10 years!
finished 8/10 💞✨The main couple was excellent, I also liked the secondary couple.
hooyoung as a character was my favorite a big green flag 😍
The script and the number of chapters was the big problem here.
Some things ended very quickly and needed better explanation.
The character of the mother and the ex-boyfriend were unnecessary and irrelevant to me.
The ending was bittersweet, I liked it in some ways and not in others.
I hope the main actors can reunite in another project in the future 🙏

story of improvement!
I really wanted to see this cdrama because of the different reviews I had read!I'll be honest, it's not just a romantic story, it focuses more on personal improvement and appreciating family.
Although I love stories like these, I felt that sometimes the script deviated a little, the leading couple was a 10/10 💞 in terms of chemistry but a 7/10 in development above all in the last two chapters adding those twists that left me ????
but in general a passable story with an ost full of very beautiful songs and beautiful settings ✨
