Omg yay~ I've never met a lot that had seen it (though its probs cause I'm not very active here 😅).

For a shorts, this one gave me something even S+ full length dramas with A-listers hadn't, a sizzling chemistry.

The chemistry was chemistryng like it never chemistryd before.

Its a shorts so the plot and pacing is nothing to be critical about (its still fairly easy to understand) but this one gave me something even S+ full length dramas with A-listers hadn't, a sizzling chemistry. The chemistry was chemistryng like it never chemistryd before. The chin kisses were more heart fluttering than countless normal lips to lips that I've watched. And as for the power dynamics, this one is definitely for the girls.

6. 2022
- Most of the main dramas I was looking forward to didn't meet my expectations, while the ones that I randomly watched as fillers (while waiting for the main dramas) ended up entertaining me more.
And I didn't like how asian dramas are getting westernized in parts/seasons.

7. 2023
- It'd be nice if the dramas (esp. cdramas) that had been in my ptw list for months/years to be released from the dungeon. Even better if they're worth the wait.

The actress' name is Xiao Yu, she plays fl's bestfriend Mian Mian.

I didn't think I'd end up liking this drama. I'm no fan of the main leads and I didn't even watch P1. But this turned out to be more enjoyable than the current ones on my watchlist.

Looking forward to the ending this weekend, sad or open, as long as its not bad. Though a happy one would be very much welcome.

Congrats TFR team.

I kinda see it. I think its the hairstyle, with younger PEB esp. in OP and JVJ.

Randomly checked this out while waiting for AOS2, so no expectations but this is actually good.

At first I was wary this will be the usual dumb fl chasing the popular ml who is awful to her, but good thing fl answered that math problem correctly. It convinced me that there's a reason for her actions, so I kept watching.

So far so good. I haven't liked a youth cdrama since SA, so hopefully this will continue to be good until the HE.

I did, as it included my fave 1 Litre, then some of the ones I enjoyed like KieKoi, CQL, Sotus and AOUAD. (Iirc, AOUAD director said the green uniform was chosen because the color goes well with all the blood.)

And I didn't mean to sound mysterious, just didn't want to overshare. 😅 The uniform is sailor, both summer and winter.

This was an entertaining read. Some I've seen, while most I haven't. But I've seen enough to identify what uniform is (probably) from which country.

As someone who went to school in two of the countries mentioned here, I liked and preferred wearing uniforms. Both the formal and PE ones were comfortable. And I didn't need to spend time figuring out and coordinating what to wear everyday. All I have to do is make sure they're ironed perfectly. lol

I still have all my uniforms at home. And I've only worn one again when my classmates and I had a reunion at an amusement park. As for my fave, can't help being biased, my middle school uniform that is featured in the article.

Good, because if you already love him in the drama, then I'm sure you'll love him even more in the novel.

The saving-fl cliff scene was him not ml. And he did a bigger sacrifice for her than those life saving pills.

Yes on their chemistry. Something to look forward to with ghost king and ghost Ayin.

Yes and their reunion would've showcased ZLS's acting because it was a lot of emotions all at once.

Forever bitter about that and the whole JR/generals scene, my favorite part in the novel. So it can't be helped, with my image of this production team. lol

I meant his role, not just participation. Because in WRTW his role was fl's first love, he was shown multiple times in the trailer, high in the cast list and iirc, even posted his photo during his birthday. But turns out he was basically just a guest role.

SY is the same team, so I'm just wary. lol But since ZLS is first billing here, I expect they won't be cutting her story and her friendship with the ghost king. So I'm positively looking forward.

Glad it made you laugh. 😅

3-4/10 And YIS's character still caught me off guard everytime he's on, so different from AOUAD.

Having not seen S1 is kinda fun in a way cause I've the same perspective as fl figuring out her memories, powers and everything. Before it ends, it'd be nice to see a glimpse of badass NS but also for her to end as just herself, CY.

It felt like a lot happened, at the same time not much. But I'm not too worried about how it will wrap up with only 6 eps left. I'm still enjoying it, esp. the cp's chemistry. The science is working, the tension is tensioning.

Hopefully HKL's name being high in the cast list is not a scam this time. lol And I heard he's playing the ghost king(?) suddenly reminds me of HC (TGCF).
Looking forward even more~

Oh I'm not saying its right or I agree, just sharing a possible reason as it fits someone I know from a lawyers-turned-politicians clan. Both expectation and reputation are big deals for many asian families.

It could be the general reason of avoiding pregnancy.
So while the teenagers are still horny, at least they're not getting anyone pregnant which parents think is ruining their future, expectations and reputation.

It could be the general reason of avoiding pregnancy.
So while it might not make their kids into geniuses, at least its not gonna turn into the worst situation.

I checked this out while waiting for another drama, but for someone who randomly watched this because of the dark trailer and familiar fl, I didn't think I would actually get into it.

Its not hard to follow. I like the pace it is going. They didn't drag the meeting, and it seems like the "married first, then fall in love" trope or in this case "remember/identify" since the leads already did the "falling" in S1. And the actors chemistry is good.

I was sold on the explanation. It makes sense to have the og fl play herself. Reminds me of the saying "the soul is the form of the body". In S1 she was a soul trapped in another person's body. Now in S2 she is whole again.

Overall I enjoyed the pilot eps. and the preview is still keeping me interested. Looking forward to the next eps~
