If you really want to watch this drama, watch until episode 10. SKIPPING episode 11 is a must.
This was one of those Jdramas that started pretty well. the story was detailed and on-point. However, the writers decided to make it different and it was good, until it wasn't.Story:
Adultery, but in a really absurd way. We get to see two very nonfunctional couples who are struggling with their sexless lives. however, this is not the whole thing. The characters are so lost and don't even know what they are doing. The concept of talking and marriage counseling doesn't even exist( which is not understandable imo). So to find solace and peace, they cheat; one emotionally and the other physically. and cheating is somehow forgiven by both parties again without talking. the reason why I'm saying it should've ended on episode 10 is that the leads finally got out of their dungeons and decided to make things right. but right about to do so, episode 11 screws everything up :/
Acting and chemistry:
Honestly, the actors and actresses don't depict emotions much. it's nonexistent kinda. except for a short period that we see Michi and Makoto getting close and romantic( Makoto's feelings were sincere but Michi's??! she was drowned in her mind). and the worst acting award goes to the second lead ( Yo and Kaede). The childish and selfish behavior depicted was unbelievable( but that does exist in real world, so kudos to the writer)
OST:
unlike many Jdramas I watched, this drama had a few songs that were quite good.
one thing I like to mention is that by episode 10, the whole story was wrapped up. we could guess the future based on the things we saw and it was over, but suddenly episode 11 popped up and the leads were all good with their exes? what happened? just a few months passed and they suddenly realized they can go back to being Comrades?LOL
as much as I liked the first few episodes, the last episodes weren't OK.

Came for the kiss scenes, stayed for the CP
Found this gem by pure chance. In the past few months, very high-end Xianxias were released that were overhyped too, but this one, many found it so suddenly! i'm glad i did. it's one of those rare Xianxias that kept me hooked from episode 1, and not a single episode was a filler imo( even though some episodes were a little rushed, and later I found out there were some things going on). not to mention the MOST beautiful kiss scenes and romantic scenes exist in this drama.Story:
Romantic Xianxia about demons, gods and fairies with a time travel flavor. That sums it up. The fantasy element is strong, yet the core of this drama is romance. as someone who loves romantic dramas, this satisfied me fully lol. The leads only have eyes for each other and there is no nonsense love triangle/3rd wheel. Even through amnesiac episodes, the couple stay faithful to each other. There are some loopholes and some things left unexplained. but there was no need to do so imo. There were no filler episodes in my opinion, and all episodes looked refreshingly interesting.
Acting:
I have been familiar with Arthur Chen since his Lighter and Princess days and been following him ever since. he is such a talent; they call him the Nepo baby, but this person indeed has the talent to shine.
Wang Ying Lu. I wasn't acquainted with her before, but she is a heartthrob and looks so cute. Hope to see her in more works.
OST:
similar to many Xianxias, there are a selection of pieces played out throughout the show and the matched the mood. i even liked the bgm music.
Production:
One of the biggest issues with xianxias are the CGI they use. this one's CGI wasn't without faults but it was ok imo. The scenery and houses they made for the drama all looked appealing.
All in all, watch it for the romance and the beautiful kiss scenes! the lovebirds in this drama can't take their hands off of each other!

Simply beautiful
This movie is not that complicated. It's a simple first-love movie, that started way back in high school. but star-crossed lovers were separated due to what we call "fate". However, life had other plans. They reunite amidst a very chaotic adulthood, yet love doesn't die that easily.It's simple. It's picturesque and the leads have a beautiful chemistry. you can feel their love for each other.
The story is not that heart-wrenching and the flow is smooth.
Definitely a must-watch for romance lovers.

Beautiful drama, but badly produced!
Let me start reviewing this drama by saying how this drama could have been much more popular and highly rated if the authors and producers had done a better job. That's it.The story is rather the same drama fantasy cliche, extraordinary gifts, a murder plot, and a steamy office romance, mixed with childhood lovers. It had so much potential, the story is actually entertaining and the leads have a marvelous chemistry, so what went wrong?
The drama's story was all over the place. There is no development. There is no background history and suddenly the leads start liking each other. There is no connection between the characters in the drama and simply they exist because they had to. This lack of coherence is what made the drama poorly executed and less intriguing to the audience.
The leads have one of the most beautiful chemistries and there are many Romantic/steamy scenes but without any development. They could've used the fantasy element as the focus of the show and let the leads roll around by it. The second leads and other supporting cast simply show up and are done!
It doesn't seem like a low-budget drama but again, weak execution makes everything bland.
Overall, if you love romance and can simply watch a drama for its romance, then you will enjoy this drama! just don't get too deep into the story and let it roll :)

A heartwarming drama with a fresh story
"See You in My 19th Life", as the name suggests, we will be immersed in the world of a human being that is being reincarnated over and over, and remembers ALL her past lives.The drama follows the journey of a young woman who mysteriously remembers all her past lives, and attempts to change the course of events that led to her tragic fate while embracing her past love.
One of the most vital aspects of this drama is its narrative. The reincarnation aspect is handled with care; keeping viewers engaged as they unravel the mysteries surrounding events that shaped her life.
Shin Hye Sun delivers a remarkable performance, effortlessly portraying both the vulnerable and determined sides of her characters. Her chemistry with the rest of the cast, including her love interest Bo Hyun Ahn, adds another layer of emotional depth to the series. The supporting cast also shines, bringing their respective characters to life and enhancing the overall viewing experience, especially the second leads. They were very lovely.
The production value of "See You in My 19th Life" is quite eye-catching, with visually stunning cinematography and colors. The drama effectively utilizes its soundtrack to evoke a range of emotions, enhancing the storytelling and immersing viewers in the world created by the show.
While the drama explores themes of love, revenge, and past lives, it also delves into deeper topics such as the consequences of one's choices and a curse made in between. It beautifully portrays the complexities of human relationships and how deep feelings can go in our lives.
However, this drama does have a few flaws. At times, the pacing feels slightly uneven, particularly during certain episodes. Yet again, the plot got way too complicated at some point, with too many villains and loopholes; making it a bit confusing. The story is very intriguing, however, 12 episodes seemed to be a bit short to fully depict the story, and the ending was rather rushed.
Overall, this drama is a must-watch Korean drama that successfully combines romance and fantasy elements to create a captivating and emotionally resonant viewing experience. With performances, engaging storylines, and beautiful themes, Kdrama fans won't be disappointed.

Amazing KBL. Truly one of the rarest
Korean BLs are scarce really. They are rather conservative and very rare to find.This one in particular, has a beautiful setting. The leads' chemistry is amazing and the story is very engaging.
It's has the cliche plot with a few twists but what keeps the drama going is the leads' chemistry.
The kiss scenes, skinship, etc are truly palpable.
The second half became a little flat but nonetheless the character development was beautiful and everything was wrapped up.
All in all, one of the beautiful Kbls i have seen. the chemistry is amazing!

Not your typical Star-crossed lovers yet one of the best shows of 2024!
This is a Melodrama, so the story is not your typical fluffy Japanese/Korean drama.The drama started off with a fast pace. The story is very straightforward and no slow-burn trope here, yet the story is mixed with angst. There are misunderstandings too and language barrier and cultural differences are the themes of this drama.
A very romantic couple end up getting separated after harsh circumstances only to find each other again years later because guess what? FATE shows up., but they haven't moved on from each other. The yearning is palpable in every episode.
The leads have an awesome chemistry. The kiss scenes, hugs, them holding hands, everything is done so beautifully. I dare say this is one of the best Asian dramas i have seen where couples' interactions and romance is so natural. Despite the language barrier, they play so amazingly.
This drama's main point is that love can conquer all if couples COMMUNICATE.
The cinematography is artistic. The director of this drama is known for indie movies so cinephile fans will greatly appreciate the aesthetics and details shown.
The OST is amazing! the background music pieces are just marvelous. The cinematography and colors they used truly match the mood and also show the emotions of the leads.
Overall, if you're in for a romantic mature angsty melodrama, this is for you! don't miss it!

A Short remake but still enjoyable!
I liked the og version and watched it when it aired. had to go back for a rewatch to refresh my memory and start this one.I don't think it's closely following everything from the og since it's short and also a Japanese remake, which they tend to change everything to fit their own aura of production.
The story is fast-paced, with not many details going on. The leads have a decent chemistry and are not cringeworthy IMO. The chemistry development is pretty decent up until episode 5.
I personally am not watching it, hoping to see the exact scenes and plot from the original suspicious partner, but that doesn't make this drama less entertaining.
Overall, an enjoyable watch, yet the last 3 episodes went downhill and their relationship could have developed to better.

If you want to watch this one, make sure to turn off your logical sense!
The story starts pretty well, yet as it goes on the ML and FL become really weird. The ML has a dark past and is punishing himself out of guilt. The FL, on the other hand, seems caring, yet she becomes so absorbed in ML's life that acts out of character most of the time. She does things seemingly unnecessary, and can make you cringe :)Call it love or anything, this pairing is weird :))
The leads have great chemistry, there are plenty of kiss scenes and skinships. It is romantic indeed, but the romance has no depth. it's just there.
The dark past is shown and the problems are generally solved too. it's not one of those so complicated dramas.
I liked this drama for the leads. Both actors are good-looking and cute lol
Overall, a pleasant drama. But don't get too involved with the story :))

An amalgamation of almost anything
Well, i was glad i have found a drama with short episodes (unlike many, I appreciate shorter productions)It's technically a low-budget drama, so don't get your hopes up.
Each episode is only less than 10 minutes.
The ML is hot (yeah I might be biased)
The FL is not that bad, but the writers decided to treat her like shit the whole time. I think the writer decided to go deep inside being abusive and degrading, to the point that it's unbelievable.
There is not much side story going on. The story had potential in my opinion, but it wasn't depicted decently.
If you're looking for a drama to pass time, This if for you, yet beware. *SPOILER* : The ending sucks big time. More than that, the story doesn't even seem finished to me.

Second chance in love and its chronicles!
This drama is very much typical ( Time travel elements, second chances, Second leads who want to destroy the main leads, etc). I love that the main focus is actually on romance and the relationship between two estranged lovers who lead a bitter life with a tragic end, yet they are given a second chance to fall in love again!Plot Summary:
This drama is about a couple in their early 40s who travel back in time to when they were 20 and about to get married again. They choose to get married again for the sake of politics and power, with divorce in mind. They go through ups and downs and so many trials, however, they fall in love again. They choose to be with each other despite the FL thinking she was in love with the SML. The ML, on the other hand, has always been in love with her but circumstances were not in his favor and he is willing to make this work this time.
First Impression:
The drama starts pretty simple as the plot suggests. The pacing is decent, since the leads find each other very early and despite their past grudge, they decide to use this second chance to their benefit and help each other out. The aesthetics is rather simple but the leads are very beautiful and have a wonderful chemistry. This drama is not as glamorous as most Xianxias with heavily decorated scenes and battles but is more focused on the leads and their whereabouts.
There is a very evil SML dressed in white and has an angelic voice. Some say he was given too much screen time compared to the rest( unlike in novel). I personally agree on this yet he had a story to tell and why he traveled back in time and the things he did. sadly he dug his own grave in the end.
Acting:
Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He create a very dynamic and beautiful couple. They are bickering and scornful at first but their love is deeper than they think and these two depict a wonderful couple. Chen He yi, aka SRQ, has done a good job depicting a villain yet he is being a little too much glamourized for being evil. we have to wait and see about that too. The rest of the cast did a pretty sufficient job as well.
Production, cinematography, and writing:
seems like the authors have taken a detour when writing it seems and the drama suddenly drifted. The main couple's on-screen time and relationship suddenly decreased till the end of the drama and the SML and the rest were focused on. yet, i liked the OTP and their chemistry was beautiful.
I like the decorations personally and since this drama doesn't show fights or battles, those who like a serene sort of historical drama will definitely love this drama.
Overall, if you're in for a good romantic historical drama with a nutjob SML and cute couple, this is for you! the leads are just very sweet and mature at the same. However, bear in mind the story does deviate at some point and it could've been written better but this doesn't mean It's of low quality. totally worth the watch.

Cliche rom-com, but the chemistry is Amazing!
This drama is the exact definition of drama Cliche; a cold, handsome, wealthy boss and a poor, beautiful, loving girl. That sums it all. They fall in love despite bickering with each other from the beginning, but their love blossoms into something profound.The whole drama is set in various hotels and you see cute and breathtaking sceneries. The story is quite simple but there are mishaps along the way for the leads too. Don't expect to see the logic behind anything that happens, as it is the nature of this drama to be funny and romantic. The leads are just made for each other.
overall, a feel-good drama with cute skinship and chemistry between the leads.

started off good but went downhill
The story revolves around boxing, a former boxer who turned into a "KUZU" and an honest woman who gets involved with boxing to punch the kuzu.The first 3 episodes were intriguing. the story started to build up and the leads chemistry was decent but suddenly the dark past started showing up and people turned very evil around the leads. Just in the middle of them becoming a real couple, everything got messed up.
I don't know why they decided to suddenly make the ML a stupid person. The FL is also so Hinged on the ML that her actions became nonsense. i hope the last episode clears the mess.
Overall, very very average and Cringe-worthy at times.

Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions!
It's the typical time-travel vs revenge plot, but with so many twists!Marry my husband! it takes us on a captivating journey of fantasy, romance, and time travel. This enchanting series flawlessly blends a mesmerizing storyline with genuinely incredible chemistry between the leads.
The drama centers around two people who, through a twist of fate, find themselves transported ten years back in time. As they navigate this new reality, their paths cross, but guess what? One has a revenge to take and the other one has a first love that wants to pursue.
The first leads have awesome chemistry. You will literally be mesmerized by the palpable chemistry between them. The second leads, oh well! you will hate them greatly. They are the devil himself lol
Also, the visually stunning cinematography, complemented by well-chosen sceneries, elevates the mood. The aesthetics are magnificent.
overall, if you're in for a romantic fantasy drama with a great plot and chemistry, don't miss it:)

One of the best Cdramas of 2025! truly a gem!
Found this drama a bit late. I saw everyone saying how good the story is, yet in the romantic department, the majority agreed on the fact that it was minimal at first, so i was a bit reluctant to watch, but glad i did because it became one of my favorites!Story:
Typical Romantic Xianxia about star-crossed lovers who are actually archenemies( romeo juliette maybe lol). The story is a bit complicated with so many details but the strong point of this drama is the story's consistency. it did not drag a bit( something quite common in Cdramas). The main characters romance was so beautiful that will stay in my heart for a long time.
The chemistry, kiss scenes, them holding hands and hugs were sooooo lovely.
Acting:
Neo Huo and LYX were amazing. it was my first time seeing them both as i haven't seen their previous works but i dare say despite their young ages, they are amazing! the rest of the cast were quite decent too, which is again very rare in Cdramas to see such intricacy and performance.
Production:
I was worried about CGI and special effects mainly used in Xianxias, which is not good yet in this one, they exceeded my expectations. the production companies are getting better and better these days. Nothing seemed fake or overly colored.
OST:
Both NH and LYX had tracks performed by themselves and their voices were beautiful.
All in all, watch it for the romance and their beautiful love! the lovebirds in this drama were not only heroes but also faithful lovers!
