A mini series to warm your heart
Soundtrack #1 is just your average, cliche Kdrama. The story is calm. The cast are simple. There is minimum adversity.The typical story of an unrequited love, this drama takes you to the depth of a one-sided crush.
The music is so related to the story, and the lyrics are wonderfully arranged for the audience to understand its purpose.
No triangle, no villains, no sadness.
It my be a bore to some, but that's how cliches are. Be prepared to hear the their story, as it's like a audiobook playing in your car.

Loopholes, twists, and more!
This drama is rather old, yet i decided to give it a try.The story is quite good, with the typical time travel aspect, but the writers decided to make it so complicated that it was turned into a cringe-worthy drama!
You won't get answers regarding the things that happen in the drama.
The cast is pretty decent. The leads have great chemistry and develop very well, but again due to the nonsensical complications, their relationship becomes nonsense too.
The music is rather average, except for one song that is so relatable to the drama.
Overall, a veryyyyy average and cringe-worthy drama. Not recommended.

Office romance + childhood friends
I haven't watched so many Tdramas and wanted to try them out. Came across Aaron Yan and my eyes were set on him lolThe story is a typical office romance, but with a twist at first. The couples have great chemistry but the show has little skinship and kiss scenes( a total of 5-6 i guess lol)
Each episode is exceptionally long and you won't miss much if you skip a few minutes each episode.
it literally takes a long while before they become a couple and in my opinion, with the good onset chemistry between the leads, they could have focused more on their relationship.
There is a low-key love triangle and it doesn't get dangerous lol
Wish it focused more on character development, rather than showing office work.
Overall, a decent watch. The leads are so good together.

Body swap and more!
I came across this drama precisely a year after it ended. I didn't even know it existed, but a dear MDL user suggested it and here i am!First and foremost, it's a romantic comedy fantasy drama. Initially wanted to give it a 10, but the ending was with an unnecessary twist and that wasn't to my taste. Unlike many Cdramas i have watched till today, it's not cringey and it doesn't get draggy at all, which is a bonus. And, it's so light-hearted that you can relax and watch it. There are mishaps and adversaries, but they are solved eventually. In addition, it has no stiff love triangles! The leads only have eyes on each other.
Story:
I was kinda shocked to see a Cdrama with decent writing. Except for a few plots, most of the problems are addressed in the end and no loopholes are left. Some say the second leads should have been paid attention to, but i think not all friendships should turn into relationships and that was fine. I liked the body swap aspect, and it was elaborate enough to get invested in the story. Until then they decided to change the ending and make it realistic, rather than a fantasy drama. They could've stayed with the actuality of body swap happening to the leads and that was just beautiful.
Acting:
I was already familiar with Liang Jie in Eternal love and i was expecting to see some fun, naughty acting, which she delivered quite well. The ML, Zhang Xincheng, delivered a magnificent act. We get to see a shy, introverted guy with a traumatic past fall in love with an ordinary girl with a warm heart. The lead's acting and chemistry were 10/10 for me. Plus, they bring about the kiss scenes so genuine and beautiful that you can't take your eyes off them.
The second leads and supporting cast were decently portrayed.
Music:
I loved the pieces played throughout the show, especially "my soul" by steven zhang. He has such an angelic voice.
Chemistry:
I wanted to add this section, because i think it's as important as other aspects. nowadays, we get to see so many dramas where the leads have zero chemistry but go on kissing, hugging and etc. These two love birds actually have hot chemistry. Their love is believable and you get to feel the sorrow they are put in.
Overall, a pleasurable binge-watch for me. I will definitely go back and rewatch some of their lovey-dovey scenes.

Below Average
I love PMY and decided to watch all her dramas. This one was on my list for quite some time, so i decided to watch.First of all, this drama is a pure mess. It gets cringey and has repetition almost every episode. 24 episodes is too much to begin with
Second, the acting. I dare say all the cast involved played at their lowest, even PMY. For instance, she acts dumb all the time. Laughs for no reason, but out of the blue she becomes this hero, then goes back to her lame self.
The MLs are even worse. The writer should be given an award for the worst writer ever in Kdrama history :)))
Third, the soundtrack. It genuinely has no soundtrack, Just 3 songs on repeat. Even the ost used is not new( heard it in some other dramas, Another bummer)
Overall, not recommended at all. Even if you're PMY fan, stay away from this one. She did much better in other dramas.

A story that will tear your heart
I was skeptical at first to start the drama, mainly because of the fact that i'm not a criminal/mystery/Legal sort of a person.The drama depicts the story of poor people vs. rich and influential people, and how the law can be easily broken and overthrown.
As a romantic-lover fan, this drama is not romantic in any sense. There is just a mild crush between the leads.
PMY shines in this drama and YSH albeit young in this drama, did a marvelous job. The antagonists also did a great job.
It got a bit draggy at some point and i think rather than 20-episode drama, a 16-episode one would have sufficed.
The soundtrack is not that beautiful to the ear; a bit too much dramatic and epic at some point, which is not well-suited for this drama.
The writers contrived a good piece, and you won't be bored much.
All in all, an enjoyable watch!

A typical Office Romance Jdrama
I love Jdramas for their short and compressed stories, and this one did its best in that criteria. A typical office romance between a director and a simple employee, COVID-19 style :)The story is simple and smooth.
A mild love triangle that is quickly solved.
The ML is depicted well by the actor, yet the FL is way too intolerable to be true; mostly cringey. I couldn't understand her much. She only loved working :|
There is not much into this drama and it got a bit draggy in the middle. 8 episodes would suffice in my opinion.
The only downside was the romance between the leads. It's was bit unbelievable and unstable. There was an unnecessary breakup and the reunion was absurd a little.
overall, an enjoyable one.

Typical Gumiho story
I'm into rom-coms with a touch of fantasy, and the title caught my eyes. It's one of those typical Gumiho-simple girl stories, but with no past ties which is somewhat new. However, the drama gets boring a little and the characters' development is quite immature.Pros:
- There is no love triangle ( There is a minor one though, but it's not that big of a deal imo)
- The romance is really good. Even the second leads have a good relationship
- The OST is really beautiful. The choice of songs matches most of the scenes and gives you a good feeling and a touch of love too lol
- If you like skinship and kiss scenes, your craving will be satisfied :) The leads are lovey-dovey ^^
- The relationship shown between best friends is really beautiful
Cons:
- The FL is a bit stupid. She doesn't question anything and is clumsy most of time for no apparent reason.
- The ML is really vague to the audience. The background story shown for 999 years of his life doesn't cover much.
- The ML is like a robot. Even his voice is like a robotc imo :)) His character development is not proportional. I couldn't understand his character( maybe that's a good thing, because in the end it worked for him to be a human)
- The use of magic is questionable to me per se. I mean, Once he had power, and the next minute he was human with no power. are Gumihos supposed to be like that? LOL
- So many questions were left unanswered. Like how the gumihos had no parents? how were they born gumihos? What did the mountain spirit do for them? The pieces of a puzzle is scattered everywhere :|
- The Second ML's love for the FL was unrealistic. I mean, they said he was a womanizer, but all we could see was a rich, lost boy who was in love with the wrong person.
- The FL's family background is not shown. Why their mom left for the states? Where is their father?
Overall, an enjoyable story. Yet, if you are they type to navigate through the story, beware that most of the questions will not be answered. Plus, i think 12 episodes was enough for this drama. It got draggy a little.

Greenest Green flag couple!
After watching too many complicated Kdramas with complicated couples, this is like breathing a bit of fresh air!The story is just the typical everyday life of simple people in Korea with heavy baggages in their lives, yet they try to go on and be as bright and kind as possible. Only if life was that simple!
The leads have one of the healthiest and most beautiful chemistry. Their interactions are so natural. Not to mention their steamy kisses lol. i sometimes wonder do we have such people in this world? lol
We get to see bright colors in this drama. it can be boring at times, yet who doesn't like watching esthetics and beautiful sceneries?
The only downside imo is the music. they could have gone with deeper music selections.
Overall, if you're in for a romantic, simple drama, this is for you!

A beautifully-depicted drama
First of all, i should say that i haven't watched the Taiwanese version and don't have the intention to do so. Even though i love Cdramas very much, i don't think juggling between the two versions and comparing them is ok. I loved how this version depicted a time travel story.Story:
Time travel at the core with a very heart-warming romance. It can get a bit complicated, especially for binge-watchers, but if you pay attention to the years mentioned in each episode, you will get how the relationships are. I personally didn't find it confusing and we got to figure out who the main protagonists were and who were their counterparts.
Acting:
AHS, He is such a fine actor. have seen him in the past few dramas and i dare say he is getting better and better.
JYB, First time seeing her. She is very talented and presents a very true and believable character. The rest of the cast was also proper too. There are no voids here overall.
Writing:
The story is indeed complicated, but the writers didn't make it extra complicated. You have to pay attention to names and dates shown and there wouldn't be issues.
OST:
beautiful choice of songs. Each song matches the mood and scenery shown in each episode.
Overall, a very beautiful and romantic fantasy drama. Def a muct-watch!

Very Bland, even for a short series
The drama started off pretty ok for a short drama, yet even in 5 minutes, the story seemed empty, like we already could figure out all those who had to die will die and the revenge will complete.There is nothing compelling about this drama, only the fact that the leads showed burning chemistry for the first few episodes, then the spark was gone. The ML is a puppy and the FL is a very angry person who wants revenge, That's it.
One thing that bothered me was that in one of the episodes, they completely blurred the leads while they were in bed. The kiss scenes were rather abrupt too. Only the ending was OK
they could have focused on the romance more and it would turn out to be more intriguing.
Overall, very very average. Nothing to be missed at all.

Pure romance; Retro style
This drama is honestly such a cozy, addictive watch. I started it expecting a heavy revolutionary drama, but it’s actually really warm, romantic, and surprisingly funny in the best way.The setting feels lived-in and real—factory life, neighbors, gossip, family pressure—yet the drama doesn’t drown you in sadness. It keeps things light enough that you can enjoy the romance and the small everyday moments.
Fei Ni is such a lively girl to follow. She’s determined, stubborn, and sometimes a little chaotic, but it makes her feel real. And Fang Mu Yang has that calm, steady “green flag” energy that makes you feel safe watching him. Their dynamic is the kind where you keep smiling because the feelings grow naturally—little by little—through shared space, awkward moments, and quiet support.
The side characters definitely add drama (Specially the second leads-their story is beautiful and deserves attention), but it also makes the world feel busy and alive. And when the main couple finally gets their sweet moments, it feels earned.
Overall, if you want a nostalgic romance with heart, soft humor, and a couple you can genuinely root for, Love Story in the 1970s is really worth it so far. I’m definitely staying seated for the rest of the episodes.

Really deserves the high rating! A MUST WATCH
Found this gem a bit late. I was anticipating that this was going to be a slow-burn romance with the typical sharing houses and office romance, but it was more than that and it was surprising for a drama in thia genre!In sum, this drama is about second chances, finding true love and after failures and complications of life.
Story:
Two very different boy and girl meet under the weirdest circumstances. Life and love starts for them only to be crashed at some point, yet they mature and develop quite decently.
Acting:
It was my first time seeing CXX in a drama. I must say i'm impressed. He played an introvert who seemed cold and aloof quite well. His character development was also palpable. I dare say he is a heartthrob and did his part well. His chemistry with the FL is top pier imo.
It was my second drama witg LYX. Her acting in LLC was great and i think she is so warm and friendly that her characters always show that. her chemistry with CXX was so beautiful and real that we rarely get to see such things in dramas.
writing:
It wasn't without faults as there were some unnessary plots or loopholes but the character development was truly great, which is rare in Cdramas. This drama flowed like a river and the waves hit some stones along the way but in the end, it found its way.
Music:
I don't know where to begin but this drama has ONE of the most beautiful tracks i have ever heard in Cdramas. Basically Cdramas rarely care about music and bgm, but in this one, well they did!
Production:
Well this is not a fantasy drama so there wasn't CGI or whatever( except for the car scenes obviously) but it was shot beautifully. the scenes at the RongCheng VR club were also shot well.
Overall, A MUST watch. The romance is beautifull. the KISS SCENES are AMAZING!

Love does not conquer all
We have always heard the famous saying " Love conquers all" but does it really?This movie is the exact answer to that question. It shows first love and childhood romance. Fresh, full of life, and beautiful, but there is a lesson here; Timing matters. No matter how you try to keep it alive, life happens. People change. Hearts change and so does surviving in this world.
The leads depict a beautiful chemistry. Their love is real, and so are their struggles. The story does not drag at all. I can say it's flawless in some way.
Maybe it didn't fit in a movie to show more details, but that was missing a bit. They could've given each other second and third chances, but they didn't. We could've gotten to know their feelings a bit more, but that was missing too.
Overall, a beautiful movie. Not your typical love wins and all movie, but rather a very realistic and in some way heart-wrenching one.

Those who have been through breakups understand this drama a bit better
I watched this drama while it aired. There was a hype going on, and i decided to join the gang.This drama is about lovers who break up, despite loving each other for personal reasons.
The story is sad at times, but realistic.
Character development was the great point of this drama. We all carry a heavy baggage in our lives, and so did the leads. It's not like they couldn't move on. They actually did, but deep down when you love someone letting is go the hardest.
During the course of the series, i always told myself they will breakup again and it will be a sad ending. Who has ever seen a broken couple get back together, even better than their first encounter?? Well, this drama is all about that.
It's cliche, boring at times, but very romantic. You can feel with the leads and live with them for a while.
The soundtrack is just marvelous and carefully chosen.
Overall, a must-watch for diehard romance lovers!
