Somewhere over the rainbow...
Honglou Meng Dec 1, 2024
Thanks for the great review and, as always, funny and accurate. And another original format! I love it! Your dedication is so sweet and touching. 🥰🥰🥰

True for every remake of any well-loved show! I remember being excited when I discovered that Koreans remade Luther (do you know it? Starring Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson? Probably the best crime thriller, ever...well, the seasons with those two in them!) thinking I'd find the same tension and chemistry! It was so awful, flat and unconvincing! That was the last time I watched an Asian remake of a UK show...

As for this one: I do not understand the point! The thai original sits close to the bottom of the barrel so why make a remake? Japan has so much original material in their own mangas: why go looking for foreign stuff and Mame to boot?!?!? Incomprehensible.... I dropped the thai original after 20min: as they say the chemistry was not chemistrying (I am picking up too much of bad english on this site!lol!) or, better yet, it was too cringeworthy for me there though the actors were definitely not shy!

Thais did a couple of disastrous remakes of Japanese BLs this year: Cherry Magic and My Love Mix Up.

The grass is always greener on the other side? No, it is not!

Another brilliant review.

One more related thing: did they really need to use a song by Céline Dion? Couldn't they have found a similarly sounding original japanese song?

I'm glad to hear you liked Rak Diao. It is unlike any bl show out there and so much better for it. I often wonder why they never finished it. Apparently the last episode was never filmed. You don't need to write a review for my sake. There are plenty of bad shows around that can benefit from your wit. 😉
As for House of Stars...people here do not appreciate its true toxic brilliant hot mess. They do not watch it and therefore do not read the reviews. Simple as that!😅And your review is comedy gold and Mani&Pedi real stars!I want more of their live feed, please!😂

Well, that's over. I honestly have NO idea how to rate this. hahaha There are elements I loved, the dark and violent…
I am a stickler for logic. I had this on my PTW list for some time now. Thank you for making said list shorter.🥰
I enjoyed your ramble! 🤣🤣

All your reviews are highly original. I do not understand how you manage to find a new concept almost every time you write one review. You are gifted!
I love your bantery (I know the word does not exist according to my spellchecker!lol) reviews: conversations between friends or the trial one. And the JBL recipe was hilarious. And a 100% accurate! perfection!
How are you liking Kamisawa no Ekohiiki?

There is a piano version of a western song that is played often as a part of background score. I know it, but…

Now I can focus on the plot(ep. 6).

I dropped Shanai Marriage Honey last night for the same reason. Too sweet.
Same here. I thought at first that it was cute but then 5min into the 2nd episode the cute become unbearable, it was sickeningly sweet so I dropped it. I finished it for a challenge recently, felt literally sick overdosing on sugar so as a palate cleanser I watched a bloody serial killer crime thriller and I felt much better.😅😅😅

many Netflix dramas are great, so I don't get it... I guess you didn't watch a lot of them, let alone recently...
As I said, I am very happy you like them.🥰🥰 I tried watching a few and ended up dropping them. Technically they were well made but the plotlines failed to retain my attention. Therefore nowdays, I am not really excited when I see NF produced drama because they disappointed me in the past both with their format and the stories. They sounded interesting and then turned out to be duds. But that is me.😅

why???
I am happy you like them.🥰 You are more open minded then me and that is admirable! You know, my glass is always half empty ( I am a huge pessimist😅😅).

why???
The problem, in my mind, are seasons. K dramas very rarely, practically never, have multiple seasons...Frankly, I am wary of NF ever since I watched and loved Hospital Playlist and then it ended on a cliffhanger after 12 ep...I was so disappointed, that now every time iI see NF, I check whether there is a second season.There may be good dramas among the lot they produce, but something about NF Kdramas feels off....and very often, comments confirm this bad feeling!
But this is just me!

Sorry to intrude on this conversation, but what did you really think of Rak Diao? No review from you! Have you finished it yet? Come on give us something please! I am in a desperate need of a good laugh and I have already read ALL your reviews a few times......😅😅😅

why???
Bad shows most of them! Apparently the only good original Netflix drama is Kingdom (but I don't watch horror so I can't tell!)! The rest is mostly meh : shorter dramas, open endings announcing another season etc.... not my idea of a K drama!

I was interested in this and then...Netflix? A big NO!

There is a piano version of a western song that is played often as a part of background score. I know it, but I cannot remember, for the life of me, what is it called. It was sung by a female singer with a rather deep voice....It is driving me mad not knowing, so much so I fail to focus on the plot! Does anyone know the name of the song? It was very popular in the 90's!

I finished watching this and it was sweet and cute.

But when I went to actors' profiles to find out more about them, imagine my surprise at what I discovered. And then I started reading the comments and that shocked me even more. Are you people human? Wishing the actor and everyone around him/supporting him, to die?!?!? How can you be so flippant about death? Very often in different drama comments, I come upon users wishing others to die because they disagree with them? And you call yourselves human? Really?!?!?

Dropping this: the main actress from the drama is not in this film and the new actress is not as charming and dignified as the original one. Why didn't they use the actress from the drama?
