I need to probably be reincarnated 10 times before this will come out

Both wrong, it will be released in 3030 when TVs will become extinct 😭

BL from China??? yeah sadly that ain't happening. It's as unlikely as peace on earth.

Same here. I'm stuck on 13....I was just continuing it for Luke Chen hahahha

Yes, towards the end there, they lost me on that logic, it's like they were trying to weave a wool coat and then didn't know how to tie up the seams.

There's also this article that points out tidbits supporting the theory that Yu Xing is gay by including a pro-LGBT band to a pro-LGBT director

And the OST!

The reason why Orca has that kind of hairdo is because they can only afford one box of hair dye and Ting Fri already used most of it. They didn't have sponsors like Kopiko or some Thai juice box that they can drink out of every five minutes.

Hahhaha hahaha they probably couldn't afford to pay for a full dye job for Orca that somebody probably probably just bought a box and DIY at home.

I gave it a good effort but the titles are all so old hahaha

Is it just me or I like Neil better when he had the man bun, looks more like a hippie daddy hahaha

OMG!!! I do this type of stuff in my head, I thought I was the only one! Even started a blog to condense dramas into short conversations, but nobody appreciated my humor. That blog died a slow painful death. Glad I'm not alone.

Don't mind that person. I've seen them around trolling and clamping down on people who do not profusely give out 10s like STDs. They don't know that people CAN have and actually DO have different opinions. Don't let these hoomans stop you from doing as you do! Your reviews are really entertaining.

Omg, me too!! She had wayyyy more chemistry with him than Do Ha!

Yeah I hated the MLs ex too. Or people like Syaon who uses emotional blackmail (I e. Killing themselves) as a way to manipulate other people. Both of them are real bitches. And for the ex, I know she had it rough with her scumbag of a dad, but it doesn't excuse her leechy behavior. That family is unhinged.
Syaon is as bad, if not worse, using Do Ha's weakness against him.

Where to begin with this short but gut-wrenching drama? Maybe the premise will help, as we already know from the get-go that one of the main characters is dead. So it’s not like we didn’t expect a sad backstory to color the mood.  

In the beginning, we learn that the female lead was engaged in an adulterous relationship, although I did not see any need for the drama to include such a minute detail. But this incident spurs Konno Mei to move back to her hometown, where the actual story begins. We know her aversion to that place is mainly because of the abundance of memories she had with her childhood friend, who passed away tragically at a young age. But the prospect of the cherry-blossom tree where they had promised to meet, being cut down, was also weighing on her thoughts.  

Once there, she meets her supposedly dead friend who’s stuck at 17. Setting aside the how’s and why’s Kota mysteriously re-appearing after years of his demise; we see Mei being conflicted. Happy that she can see him again once more, but also sad knowing what actually happened to him. She couldn’t seem to grasp the reality of his death, nor could she move on. She distanced herself from her friends and became far from being her happy-go-lucky young self.  

Mei also became awkward upon meeting her friends again. I understand that death will do this to certain people, where they drift away from each other, not knowing what to do. However, this drama shows that life doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom once someone passes away. Kota’s reappearance stresses the importance of leaning on each other for support and is pivotal in bringing old friendships back together.  

While we see justice being served late, with the real perpetrator of Kota’s unfortunate accident brought to justice, I place less emphasis on this revelation. For me, what struck the most is that time CAN heal wounds, if you let it, and it makes you appreciate the value of time with family and friends, no matter how short it is, and that expressing your feelings will help you with the worries and doubts if you rely on the surrounding support.  

All the actors did a great job of making this point across, but also the production team, from the director to the writers, did a commendable job of bringing this drama to life. I also loved the appearance of the old man and his own story about his dead wife. It makes the impact of love and loss more powerful, even though told in this super-natural tale. But the emotions are all still there, and we should not be afraid of them.

Totally agree!

I love this list, it helped me a lot. I am not sure whether you keep it up to date because last update was in 2021 but Kanojo wa Kirei datta is the Jap remake for She Was Pretty, which I didn't see on here (since it is again understandable, if you don't update this list anymore)

I'm halfway through the show but I must say that I find that there's more chemistry between the FL and the SML and wanted them to get together instead.

I am not feeling it for between the ML and the FL, but it maybe just me.

I mean to be fair, not just South Korea, pretty much all over the world, there will be haters, or else Wars won't exist. BUT yes, when it comes to fandoms, SK could have one of the most toxic, only because we are aware of it. I'm sure other countries, like China too, have toxic c-nets destroying celebrity careers, or certain Thai fandoms have this obsession of hating on people who are rumored to be real life partners of said actors. But keep in mind, this may represent only a fraction of the fandom. Those obnoxious few also tend to be the loudest haters. We are just hoping that the positive support will outweigh the negative ones, so that we won't get another tragedy.
