Excellent acting by two newcomers as we follow along their journey of Forbidden Love
The bar was set high for all Historical Thai BLs as I have been searching for the next “I Feel You Linger in the Air”. You will hear me say that repeatedly for every single review I write of a historical Thai BL. 🤣 I am sure I am not the only one who got excited when we first saw the trailer of “The Edge of Horizon”. The reviews were great as well when it was airing. So, my expectations are very high.So, how was it? It doesn’t have the same feel as IFYLITA, but I still like it. However, I was a little taken back by the first episode and needed to warm up to the main couple. The romance comes fast and furious, and not the slow-burn romance that I was expecting (like in IFYLITA). Are they cute? Definitely. I am not opposed to cute and fluffy, just somewhat unexpected.
After a little adjustment, I found my bearings and slowly learned to appreciate the story. The plot is not complicated to follow and not unique either: forbidden love, family disapproval, concerned and protective parents. Add in the changing political climate and the difference in beliefs and opinions, there’s plenty to cover during these 11 episodes.
This is my first time watching the leads. Ongsa (as Thin) is so handsome and sweet. He really embodies Thin’s softer yet strong personality. I was quite impressed with his acting, especially in the earlier episodes. Thin is such a green flag and a character that makes viewers want to protect at all costs. Inn on the other hand has that strong, chiseled facial features that makes him stand out as a captain of the army. He doesn’t have Ongsa’s more typical handsomeness, but once he’s in a suit and in an army uniform, his charisma shines bright. I found his acting as the young Phob not as good as in the later episodes. I really enjoy his acting after the time skip when he’s an adult. He managed Phob’s complicated feelings really well. The pair of them is so young and quite new to the industry. Yet, I am very impressed with their acting and look forward to more of their future projects individually, or as a ship. The chemistry is great. I enjoy the development of their romance from early sweet fluffiness, to the playful yet aggressive romantic approach from Phob, and the mature, somewhat defeated understanding of divided beliefs and realities. The kisses are good. They are so appropriate for each stage of their romance. There’s no eating-your-face with massive tongue action, nor reluctant fish kisses. The kisses make me feel what the characters are feeling at that moment. Oh, and I love their hugs equally. Thin hanging onto Phob’s neck, while Phob embraced him with his long arms and big, strong hands on his back.
The veterans are great either. I’ve seen Chai (Thin’s father) in many lakorns before and I love him SO much in “To the Moon and Back”. You just can’t hate on him because his character is not necessarily evil. In that era, what he believes in and how he acts are totally normal. Disapproval of the romance is understandable. Wanting to fight back after the government change, is also totally understandable. Another familiar lakorn veteran is Mam (Phob’s mom). I’ve seen her as the evil mother so many times that it’s so refreshing to see her in a different role. Again, totally understandable actions as a protective mother and a loyal servant. I’m just glad I finally don’t have to hate her.
On the other hand, I cannot say the same about Pond and his character, Chat (Thin’s brother). He’s so infuriating. I’ve seen Pond in different projects before and his acting can teeter on the edge of overacting. But matching this overacting with a character like Chat makes me want to strangle him. I don’t know if I can ever love Pond again after his performance here. Maybe that’s a kudos to his excellent acting and his character is supposed to be insufferable???
The ladies in this drama, for once, are all so lovely. From Grandma to Princess Siri and reporter Jan, they are women that we can root for. They are the supportive team that our leads need to help them through this forbidden journey. Also, did I sense some baited GL chemistry between Siri and Jan?
“The Edge of Horizon” is an easy binge. There’s nothing that hurts my heart too much, and nothing that I hate. I also can’t say I am totally in love with it either. There are a few cheesy shots, and a few cheap production and questionable shots. But as a whole, it’s a lakorn BL done right. You know it’s a lakorn BL when you see the amount of tears coming down our leads’ faces. You know, snot and all as well. I am also especially happy that there’s no over-the-top comedic moments in this drama. The twist in the end might not be too surprising, but I welcome it.
Overall, I had a good time watching “The Edge of Horizon” and will recommend it, even though it didn’t quite surpass my love for IFYLITA. Ongsa and Inn deliver great acting and chemistry. Their romantic journey is believable (just need to be more careful with their rendezvous!) and the drama did a good job in weaving this forbidden romance with so many complicated feelings within a politics-heavy plot.

Room For Improvement
- some of the dialogue was too quiet
- wish he had first brushed his teeth/mouthwash
- perhaps a bit fantastical for how the CEO reacted

Not Good Enough
Japanese Drama "Momoiro Anzuiro Sakuro" is a ridiculous drama that has the potential to be romantic and, indeed, it does have some romantic moments, but the rest of it felt forced and forceful.The drama had two things that brings it down, the aggressive male lead and the childish female lead who let everyone use her as a pushover. It almost felt like the romance wasn't even her choice, rather, she just couldn't say no to the guy. Actually, she ask him to stop in many office scenes, but he just ignored her and tried to make it look like a game towards her. As for the romance with the second lead, it lucked chemistry right from the start. At least the performances were good. But the rest was just ridiculous.
So, overall, 1.5 out of 10.

Live, love and lost under the Big Sky
This is an adaptation of a book of prose by Li Juan. Changes were made to make it more suitable for live action. Read into that what you will.This series has received some well-deserved attentions and solid ratings. I think it is largely due to its unique setting and a simple and honest storytelling amongst the sea of samey idol dramas.
The story is a mashup of the classic When Worlds Collide and Fish Out of Water tropes. They are oldies but goodies. In this case, our FL finds herself in a remote part of the Xinjiang autonomous region which is the definition of remoteness itself. So, you can imagine her culture shock.
BTW, the show was set over 20 years ago, so things are simpler back then, but changes are coming, just like winter. The straightforward plot largely centred on the lives of one Kazakh village, their friends and their interactions with FL's small family.
Historically, the Kazakh are nomads herders and each summer, the families would move with their herds to their summer pastures in the Altai mountains. In that sense, I prefer the Chinese title of My Altai which is more meaningful.
As the show opens, we find the older generation confused about the changes and "nonsensical" rules from people they can't relate to. While the younger generation is squeezed between two conflicting cultures. It is this tug-of-war that is the foundation of much of the drama in this series.
It is obvious that this show doesn’t have a big budget and can be a bit rough around the edges. Nevertheless, it is made with heart and a focus on authenticity. Local "actors" are used extensively. I won't go as far as saying they discovered new talents, but they managed to grab You Shi before he gained fame with his recent movie roles. He is all singing and all dancing here. He made the effort to learn the local dialect. While not 100% fluent, it is impressive, nevertheless. He also did all the horse riding stunts, and he sang in the local dialect. Kudos to him.
As I mentioned before, the show is like a breath of fresh air (or is that mountain air?), and you quickly become enmeshed in the village life. Their lives are ruled by the seasons and daily chores. It is a harsh but fulfilling life. You know life is tough when luxury is a dry bed.
They only break from the daily grind during festivals and celebrations like weddings. They certainly let their hair down during those rare occasions. Friendship is renewed and romance blossom. This is also an area where the generation gap rears it head. Some of the older generations are still engaging in matchmaking while the younger generations are doing their own thing. In a way, the show used the various romances to spice up the plot but it is a bit distracting when the landscape is such a magnificent stage and yet we are stuck in a yurt, watching the elders negotiate again and again.
I’m not sure these complications is the production trying to inject some relatable plots and angst for contemporary viewers. What is obvious is their influence on the last ep. It really was drama for drama’s sake and feels rushed. I’m not sure if it is necessary but it ended things with a bang. The last scene was a bit of a tease for us who are shipping the OTP. Will they? Won’t they? Maybe a second season will give us the answer. ;)
Regardless, this is a good show. It deserves all the kudos for doing something different. I appreciate the efforts the production invested to make it authentic and sincere. With such a short run-time, it is an easy binge. Give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Finally, the elephant in the room. The treatment of ethnic minorities and the flood of Han people into those remote regions is a sensitive topic. Several plots gave us a hint of what’s to come. The show's portrayal is restrained for obvious reasons. Enough said.

NJH is so cute and hot, SSK is so amazing here too.
At first, I hate this drama but then I slowly loved this drama. I can't miss any of the 16 episodes.
I'm a little bit unsatisfied with the ending but still, I loved it.........
I'LL ABSOLUTELY REWATCHED IT AGAIN......
I miss them so much.
I wished to have a season 2 or a movie after what happened to them in the end.
How was there life after that?
How about Habaek? let him use his powers once without limitation in the human world.
Well, thanks to our very talented writer for writing this drama
And also to the directors and actors to fill our imagination not by just reading it or seeing it in unmoving pictures (manga).

A Riveting Drama with Stellar Performances
Story: This drama is a well-crafted narrative filled with intricate mind games between the female lead and the two male leaders, each manipulating and using one another from the very first episode. As the story unfolds, the plot thickens, and the characters' schemes - or at times, their support for one another becomes even more intriguing. The romantic dynamics are also interesting, with a clear contrast in how the two male leads interact with the female lead, adding depth to the story.The supporting characters also added colors to the drama. This is one of the dramas where I don't really think some of the characters were redundant, as they all put in their own weight for this drama.
Acting: I was drawn to this drama because of Ren Jia Lun, who plays Wei Zhao. Having seen his previous works, including the Blue Whisper (Parts 1 and 2) and the Burning Flames, I knew he was an exceptional actor. This was my first time watching Landy Li (Jiang Ci) and Jeremy Tsui, and I found their performance impressive as well. Special recognition goes to Jeremy Tsui for his portrayal of Pei Yan.
OST: The soundtracks were fantastic. Part of the lineup include my favorite OST singer Liu Yuning. Additionally, Curly Gao were also part of the line up.

Actors - Excellent acting from all including the main characters.
Production - for such an epic story the production, direction of story and actors were first class.
Skipping scenes - nearly 100 episodes of history and I didn’t skip any scenes.
Overall - if anyone has an interest in Chinese history, then this is a must watch. You will start googling about the major characters to understand what they did in real life.

Yun-Fat Chow does an amazing job of inviting you in to his character while keeping a cool and aloof distance. Li Gong does well as the Empress, but the rest of the cast is unmemorable.
In a nutshell: Visually appealing if you like bright, ornate visuals, but may be too flashy for some. The story is melodramatic which can sometimes be boring.

A Movie That Lost Its Spark
At first, this movie was quite interesting, but it quickly became boring, leaving me feeling empty. I ended up skip it. I love both actors, but I was really disappointed in this one. It feels like there’s a deeper message hidden in the film, but it didn’t come through clearly. The storyline had potential, but it just didn’t deliver. It was supposed to be sad, but I couldn’t even cry because it was so dull. The ending felt sudden I was like, 'Wait, it’s over?' I’m not going to recommend this movie, but if you still want to watch it, go ahead.Was this review helpful to you?
It's a real pity, because I absolutely loved virtually everything else about this drama (though my hatred for Park Si Yeon's acting/the character in general probably contributed to my immense love for the rest of the drama, as I was too busy hating on her to really criticize anything else).
This is one of my favourite romcoms ever, in any language. It's got comedy and it's got romance, and it does both very well. I spent the first few episodes laughing my head off- this drama actually does a pretty good job of finding comical situations that haven't been reused five bajillion times in other dramas and movies.
What really made My Girl for me, though, were the two lead actors. Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook both have a fantastic sense of comic timing (just wait until the hospital scene where Gong Chan/LDW freaks out), and they're both so expressive and have such diverse facial expressions that they can make an already funny scene even funnier. They're amazing at comedy, and really, just amazing actors, period. Even when the drama starts turning more serious and high-stakes, they're able to deliver comedic, serious, sweet, touching, and tearful moments as required, often going rapidly back and forth between the funny and the serious. Together, they're even better. They play off of each other incredibly well, and their chemistry, too, is one of the things that really made this drama what it is. I'd say that their chemistry rivals that of many often-praised kdrama couples: think the sizzling sexual tension from Secret Garden, mixed with the overwhelming cuteness of My Princess, and you have Seol Gong Chan and Joo Yoo Rin in My Girl.
On the subject of Joo Yoo Rin: Lee Da Hae truly shines in this drama. I seriously cannot believe that neither her nor Lee Dong Wook got awards for their acting in this drama, while the awful Park Si Yeon did. Lee Da Hae is brilliant as the quirky, over-the-top, scheming yet loveable Yoo Rin. She makes me laugh and cry here with ease, and she seems to have fleshed out this character completely- Joo Yoo Rin is so realistic she might as well be real, and I really couldn't imagine any other actress in this part.
In regards to the rest of the cast: Lee Jun Ki acts the part of Seo Jung Woo quite well; I just think that it was never a hugely well written character to begin with. Yoo Rin's friends and father didn't stick out that much to me, but I loved Gong Chan's family, and together, they really did present the image of a realistic, slightly weird but loving, oddly knit together family unit. And... then there's Park Si Yeon, who is consistently awful. Kim Seo Hyun is a badly written character, and Park Si Yeon is a bad actor. She has all of approximately three facial expressions, the most common of these being the disdainful/contemptuous/annoyed/sarcastic snort that she does every five seconds, and in the later episodes, that really made me start to want to slap her in the face and skip ahead every time she appeared on screen.
The writing... well, it IS a Hong Sisters drama, but in my opinion, actually one of their best. My Girl has all of their wit and humour, awesome story and romance, and quirky yet loveable characters, but doesn't exhibit some of the flaws that are often associted with HS dramas- for example, weak endings(the ending of My Girl is actually pretty up there, as far as kdramas go). It's faced-paced, well-plotted, and thoroughly addictive.
The music (both the score and the OST) fit the drama perfectly, and as usual for a Hong Sisters drama, the music is excellent, and played at more or less all the right moments. Though it might not make my personal playlist as some drama OSTs do, My Girl's score is outstanding and the OST is a great match for the drama.
Overall, this is a hilarious drama, well worth watching. Basically, my main complaint with this drama is the shallow, poorly written second female lead (a common feature of Hong Sisters dramas/kdramas in general, unfortunately- think You're Beautiful, just for starters), and the poor acting with which said poorly written character was executed. Aside from this, I loved My Girl, and Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae alone make this worth watching again and again.

Ragebait All The Way
This series is a joke. And not a good one.I cannot, for the life of me, understand how it gets all the hype and good ratings.
Trailers vs. Actual Series
It starts with trailers that conveyed a completely different vibe than what it ended up being. We were shown an unapologetic black flag demon (not even mentioning the bl**dy library scene...), we got an apologetic red speckled green flag regular dude, who happens to have a dodgy side job.
It'd be too easy if it stopped there, though. How about changing the series' entire tone two more times? From "tragic dark romance" to "generic office romance" to "blunt soap opera". All within 12 episodes.
This I could still have lived with if the actual series wasn't this genuinely unbearable to watch.
The Characters and the Storyline
Dan
Everyone's hating Dan but, as annoying as he may be, that character is actually just a heat sink for the ludicrous plot and Little Jane. He's simply constructed to be this disgusting, so the other characters and story feel less silly. I also fail to see what he did wrong, apart from being annoying, in the first place. In the end, they had to force a crazy and completely out of the blue revenge/kidnapping plot on him to justify his villainy. I feel sorry for the actor, the role is deeply ungrateful (bro himself is doing great acting it, though).
Little Jane
Seriously, the core problem and true villain of this entire series is Little Jane and the badly constructed storyline, that relies almost entirely on him being a dense pillock, and employs rubbish soap opera tropes that were outdated and parodied already 30 years ago.
Little Jane is quite frankly the most annoying main character I've come across in a long time. His decisions and actions are always poorly thought out, with no substance behind them whatsoever. LJ practically leaves BJ the second he hears a rumor about him. He hardly ever tries to talk to him (or tries but doesn't have the backbone to really confront BJ) and the only one he ever spoke to, clearly and reasonably, was Dan, when he dumped him, oddly enough.
LJ seems like the authors fever dream self insert: the pretty, cute and innocent boy next door, who can be with you today and leave you tomorrow, without ever facing the negative consequences of his actions, blissfully oblivious, because don't worry, the hot guy will ALWAYS fight for you, no matter how many times you hurt him, and he will never want anything back from you because you're the pure and adorable dream boy.
The actor himself is super cute, but I'm not sure this role lets him unfold his potential.
The Statue
Glad they've remembered to add comic relief. Matches LJs character more than his looks.
Big Jane
The thing that mostly makes BJ look like an idiot, is that he let's LJ leave without protest, then still runs after him every goddamn time, although LJ CLEARLY doesn't want BJ and leaves him the second he gets a chance to misunderstand him. It makes you feel sorry for BJ so much that it hurts, although his own behavior wasn't all that good occasionally.
I couldn't figure out why BJ loves LJ in any way or form. LJ is bringing absolutely nothing to the table. He does not stand up for BJ one single time. Which in turn makes BJs advances even more comical.
But then again they never really explore or explain the source of either characters' love OR fear, despite all the potential, a lot of which lies in the greyscale of BJs behavior. It's beyond me why people are so set on them being together. If they weren't the main leads, you wouldn't get the idea they should be together in the first place.
For all that it's worth, the actor is doing a pretty solid job.
The Aliexpress lockets
Another thing that bugs me about BJ though is the stupid cheap a** lockets with the tack glued in, in which he collects blood. With zero supernatural element to this series, what is the point of these? Why does he keep them like sacred objects? Aren't a lot of them just from a**holes who tried to take advantage of his services? And does he make them himself? Like, with a tube of E6000 and a packet of tacks, while watching TV? If I were to ask him a favor and he pushed this over the desk I'd die from laughter. It's absolutely silly. Too bad the series isn't a parody on purpose.
Story
As for the story, there is a limit of how many times you can watch the train derail, in only 12 episodes, before it winds you up.
Rachel and Ross at least had 10 seasons.
The MCs were separated so many times for the dumbest reasons, I've lost count. They just cannot leave well enough alone for one single episode. The relationship revolving door (another soap opera staple, by the way) is moving too much and too fast. So much so, it even undermines the credibility of the happy ending. For all the times they f*cked up their relationship already, who guarantees they're not divorcing in 5 minutes, because someones cousins stepsisters best friends' colleague said BJ is still gluing tacks to Aliexpress lockets? Or some other of BJs demons from the past has a spare truck?
Every hot, cute or happy moment gets chopped immediately. It feels like they've unearthed every possible undead soap opera misfortune trope, along with every possible idiot ball, and herded them into the meeting room in which the writers were forced to conjure up this show on a Wednesday afternoon. Things are going well for 5 minutes? Oh no wait, let's have disaster strike immediately. No, don't worry if it's in the last half of the last episode, after everything seems settled and nice. Just shove it in wherever. The MCs could call the cops or at least inform someone what's going on, one of them being mister almighty powerful wish fulfilling quasi mafia CEO? Nah, let's have them rescue a child from a psycho, alone, with no support, no backup plan, no appropriate gear, no idea what's going on, but alas, in their Sundays best and a hyper car.
The tropes and plot points employed are only there for their own sake, they hardly ever serve any actual storytelling purpose. They're building up expectation and suspense, only to be gone and forgotten minutes later. Take Puts death as an example: it's not happening because it has a deeper meaning to the plot. All it does is serve as a quick and dirty catalyst for LJ and BJ breaking up. Alas, they still spend the night together, although LJ is set on BJ having killed his best friend. It's so exhausting and preposterous.
I've seen people argue there's tension all along the series, but I wouldn't call it that. Tension implies a mutual desire that's being held back only to passionately erupt at some point. What we are being served here is one sided desire (BJ), a soulless bipolar (LJ) and the "passionate eruption" comes in the form of "break up". It's not tension, it is frustration that keeps people on the edge of their seats.
The Amnesia
This crap really gets it's own point here because it's the epitome of about everything wrong with this series. I've seen people defend the lazy writers and argue that the amnesia trope is necessary because "random a** pull".
No. No, that trope very much is not necessary to the series or the relationship between the two main characters in any way or form. They could've left it out entirely and it'd make no difference. The villain plotting the accident and LJ getting hurt still would've worked on its own. LJ could've remembered the good times entirely on his own for once and Dan could still have got a punch in the face. The sole purpose the amnesia serves, is to create a cheap episode, wind people up, reset the entire story (again) and take a detour to the ending (again). Effectively they've employed the trope to turn episode 11 into a recap.
This isn't even my personal taste at this point. It is simply what the makers of this series actually provide. They provide nonsensical characters (mostly Little Jane), that resonate with the nonsensical story. It's a vicious cycle.
And this isn't intentional either, the creators just DON'T care. They think they can get away with being lazy with the story as long as they shove in every trope from whatever checklist they could conjure up from statistics. Or maybe the creators were hoping the poor attention span of people these days would make them oblivious to the repetitive and illogical narrative.
And honestly, it would not have taken too much to fix this story. The series COULD have been good, if only they'd wanted it to be.
Here's what actually would've helped the series and/or relationship:
- A well written, well paced, coherent story and plot that arches over ALL the episodes and doesn't just skip from one episode to the next.
- Well constructed characters that talk and think before taking action.
Yes, I know it's based on a novel and rumor has it the novel is equally bad or even worse than the show. Still doesn't justify they reproduce this in the series.
Quick shout-out to the actors: you guys are cute. I genuinely hope to see you again in a better series that makes sense at least halfway.

So bad I had to keep watching until the end
After the second episode, I thought this was terrible. I just kept on watching to see if it would get any worse.I was not disappointed...
Lots of things make no sense at all. If you try to analyze the situations and the characters' actions, you might end up asking yourself stuff like: "Why didn't she just ... ", "How come did he ... ?" or simply "WTF?"
Don't let logic get in the way and just enjoy the ride.
Acting is at the same level. I don't know if prefer the "deer caught in the headlights" look of the good FL, or the "scary face / giggle" of the evil one.
I hope there won't be a sequel or I will probably have to watch it too.

I love movies with symbolism, and this movie fed my hunger for it wholly and the most satisfying way...
It's been 20 minutes I have finished watching it, and my eyes still see and my ears still hear the main character playing the piano, be it during the duel, or with one hand, or two pianos at the same time...
There are scenes in the movie that just refuse to leave my head... The bicycle turning back after being asked to ride slower, childish games between the two leads, their piano duet, the apples, the nature... and music, music, music...
Half of the movie was a love triangle, and I was loving it, then BOOM! it turns out a whole another story...and I'm still marveling it.
I was praying during the last moments of the movie, I was honestly praying...
The effects of the movie and the sudden changes in music left me breathless, absolutely beautiful movie...

First off, it´s topics. This movie has such an aspect that it pulls off by making dark issues very present but not drilling it home into the viewer's mind of how serious those topics are. For example, the teachers in the movie strictly say that the only thing that matters is getting into college. The main characters aren´t very affected or shook from these statements and the characters don't go on the say something like ¨School systems are shit.¨ The movie lets you think for yourself about its issues without the characters letting you what to think about whatever.
Secondly, the acting and cast. The acting for this was a sheer masterpiece. All of the very intense chases down sense, the fights, and the bullying are all so well done. The actors did such a nice job making the fights look realistic and emotional.
The third reason is the music. There wasn´t much music to really talk about but I found the lack of music to be kind of nice. I really let you hear the tones and feelings in the dialogue whereas it is covered up by music in other dramas. But the few scenes that did have it made it better.
One final reason that this movie is such a work of art is that of its realness. In most BL dramas, things turn out happy for the main character and their love interest. But before people in the real world can form a relationship with someone of the same sex, they have to find out the answer to the question, are they not straight? Almost all the dramas I have seen overlook this question or say that if it wasn´t this person they wouldn´t like the same sex. But this drama shows you that sometimes, things don´t work out like that. Sometimes you are going to be hated on for your sexuality. Sometimes you are going to confess to your crush and they will flat out laugh in your face because they aren´t gay and could never love one of the same sex. This movie shows you what real-world rejection and bullying looks like and it is the main reason I loved this as much as I did.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants some realness in their life. But if you are a person who likes cuteness and softness in your dramas, I don't think this one is for you.
