okay so to be fair, there is a good chunk of reviews killing this, which are btw absolutely correct. but hear me out: this entire title is just pure comedy.when i say this, i mean, i never laughed so hard in my life by the turns of events from this drama. like when they hypnotised the mc to forget about the girl. or when he needs to MARRY HER to donate his bone marrow to save her from leukemia EXCEPT it was made up!!
i will recommend this to anyway who wants a good'ol'laugh. sometimes i close my eyes and this drama comes to mind. the impact. always makes me laugh. maybe it should be considered a LAUGHING STOCK.
do not take is seriously tho, because if we deeply analyse this, it's bad. really bad.

This story is truly amazing, and when you are watching this movie, you are going to be sucked in this movie. They really did an amazing job. The actors did a great job and they were so believe-able! The music also played a lot with your feelings, and they did a superb job on that one!
I would rewatch this movie only if I have too. Because I really cried my eyes out, but if you feel like a day of sobbing, you can rewatch this.
This movie is uplifting and down lifting and somehow at the end you'll find peace in this movie.

This is how you do an original GL!
In the GL scene where many series are book adaptations, it can sometimes overshadow original works, especially given the not-so-great reputation of original GL series in the market so far. But amid this, "Love Beyond Dreams" stands out as a great original GL series that deserves more attention. While this series may not be the first GL series to explore time travel theme, it certainly shines as the best in its execution and storytelling. Every aspect—from the intriguing plot and top-notch production quality to the skilled cast, and even the smallest details—comes together seamlessly to offer a captivating viewing experience.In my opinion, the strength of the series lies in its well-structured script, which boldly mixing a dark mystery with high-stakes 'romantasy' and skillfully balances all elements of drama, angst and action. Created by MAME, a producer and screenwriter primarily known for BL content, this series marks her impressive venture into GL storytelling with a unique and compelling approach. Even with just 7 episodes, this series manages to maintain a laser-sharp focus on Ran and Lene's central conflict without suffering from mid-series pacing issues or unnecessary side-character romances to stretch the story.
In addition, its high production value is widely praised—the cinematic framing, color grading, and visual aesthetic did wonders in enhancing the mood of each scene. The shipping container maze scene is amazing! Plus, the intense, palpable chemistry and dynamic between Mie Phattharanan and Aya Orapan are particularly impressive, lending authenticity and depth to their characters' relationship and making their connection on screen feel genuine and heartfelt. Aya's acting has improved a lot from her BL side-couple era. And you gotta love the melodious OST by her too.
Despite having many good points, this series is still not the perfect one. In my opinion, Lene's backstory could be polished to make her character more emotionally impactful. And the actual mystery and "whodunnit" elements felt overly simplified, thin, and rushed through by Episode 5. It feels like the suspense suddenly stops there, leaving you to just wait and see how the antagonist will meet his fate.
Even though it may not have generated the same anticipation and buzz as some book-adapted series, "Love Beyond Dreams" stands out in the darker genre of Thai GL. Its originality, along with solid performances and a balanced story, makes it a something interesting to explore for fans seeking quality GL series beyond the generic stuff.

Amazing from start to finish
I dont even have the words. This was so incredibly good. I almost didn't tune in at all because the premise seemed cheesy. Holy crap, I got more than I could possibly have asked for! I got more than I knew I wanted!It was so thoughtful and restrained in a lot of ways. But it was also full of emotions. I felt all of them but I didnt feel like I was manipulated into it. They just organically grew out of the story, and the way it was told. I literally cried for the entire last episode!
The acting was amazing. The ability of both Gemini & Fourth to portray so much emotion without speaking was true artistry. I was on the edge of my seat with my heart in my hand for every episode. Each character was superbly executed. And I felt invested in all of them, not just the mains. The Father gave me life. So did Lek in the finale.
The cinematography was beautiful. The light and the dark. The moments of stillness, especially between the mains. Just incredible.
The intimacy between Tanrak and Barth is electric. And I'm not talking about NC scenes (this is pretty innocent as far as BLs go), I'm talking about the expressions of intense, inescapable love between them. And every time they kissed it was like a million fireworks exploding. Chemistry on top of chemistry (layered with good acting, a good script, and good direction).
If you haven't seen it already, go watch it right now.

Why fear when you have your family by your side
A good uplifting drama that shows no matter how tough the life may get, no matter how hard or how many times you fall, get up again and strive forward. A show that tells you even if the world is against you, as long as you have your family by your side don't be afraid and face it head on.Cheng Anxin a girl whose dreams are shattered when she loses both her legs, the effect is not just on her professional but personal life too. Even at her lowest when she has given up on herself, her mother steps in and helps her get back on her feet ( well prosthetic limbs) and in the process both of them heal and the bond becomes even stronger.
Ruo Hua a girl with a broken relationship with her controlling mother who still is recovering from her son's death doing everything to become independent and get away from her. Her and her mother's relationship arc goes through many trials and complexities and in the process many scars emerge and heal, some new relations are formed while some are broken.
The cast have done a phenomenal job in showing the emotions people goes through when facing harsh realities and how they react to such situations. The complex relationships between mother and daughters are shown quite well. Overall the show is a good healing drama.

Since it has been released on 2005, you will see the younger Kamenashi Kazuya, Yamashita Tomohisa, and Horikita Maki. They're just so good portraying their roles. I just love how Kazuya have that innate confident in him that makes him so admirable, while Yamashita have that cuteness charm in him that is so adorable. And let's not forget Maki, she's so believable. From the way she walks and talks, it's all consistent.
The whole story is just so wonderful. To be able to make a drama that isn't based on a love story but on true friendship is that makes this story unique. And also in every episodes, a moral lesson can be learned!

JUST ENJOY IT!
You don't have to put so much emphasis on logic while watching this drama..there ain't no logic behind a girl turning into a chicken nugget is there?The drama was exactly what it intended to be a strange wierd fun and hallarious watch...many events in the drama had me questioning why I was even watching the drama in the first place but it was that entertaining and I found my self binging all the episodes in one sitting.
The episodes are short so it feels less draggy and since it's fun you don't realise when it ends.
The acting was so good and I loved how the characters were naturally funny so the comedy didnt feel forced or dry....I found my self laughing out loud due the strange situations they got them selves in.
The cameos were also suprisingly good.
We need dramas like these from time to time, a drama which you don't have to spend alot of time applying thinking too but rather just sitting back and having a fun and humourous ride.
Do I recommend this? YES if you want to have fun and just laugh out loud...it was a good comedy series.

The Only Girl You Haven't Seen Season 2

The awful subtitling spoiled this for me, but...
I was hooked on this story - not overly complicated, but with characters I liked and others that I deplored. If I could have followed the story much better and understood the plot more. The chemistry between the ML & FL was fantastic - and carried the whole series for me.Nothing complicated about this story - just short and sweet - both seasons. A little more effort could have been made for the final episode, but I was happy with the way it ended, so no real complaints for a mini-series.
All that being said, I really do NOT like these mini-episode dramas. I prefer the regular format and longer durations so that the story can be developed (hopefully) and the audience can get invested in the characters and the story itself.
I would probably re-watch this if I could find it with decent subtitles - that would make all the difference in the world.

Guo Yu Xin and Wang Hao Zhen were excellent in this epic love story
I was stoked when I found out that Guo Yu Xin and Wang Hao Zhen would act together. Both are excellent at dramatic acting and I was looking forward to watching their drama.What I liked:
1. Opening scene - DAMN, that bedroom scene was extremely hot. Like habanero (I can't eat those but I can eat Thai's bird's eye chilli & jalapeno).
2. Romance - Slow burn with a lot of longing & pent up feelings. Once they were honest about their feelings for each other, the romance went full scale and got exciting. Great kisses and tender moments. I also liked that both had each other's backs.
3. ML characterisation - He had his own struggles to tackle which led to hesitation in pursuing FL openly. I liked his tenacity, kindness and protectiveness.
4. FL characterisation - She was a rookie actress looking for opportunity to grow in the industry. I liked that he used her connection to ML to get a role. At least she's got talent and grit.
5. Supporting characters - I really liked FL's agent, Chao Meng, the crew. The first-billed actress was observant - I liked how good she was at reading ML's behaviour toward FL. Their male friend was entertaining too.
6. Career - I loved that both FL & ML were in entertainment industry. I liked scenes of them on set shooting a drama. It was a drama within a drama.
What I dlsliked:
1. Antagonist - ML's stepmother was evil for threatening and guilt-tripping ML.
2. Duration - At 4.5 hours, it was the longest vertical drama I ever watched. I must say I struggled at times and couldn't finish it in one sitting, which is my preferred way of watching a vertical drama.
Favourite scene
Opening scene

When I first started watching the drama I was a little sceptical, because of the many main characters, and because I'm not so strong in political dramas. However since the first episode I was drawn in by the theme. There may have been some things I have missed, based on how political it is. However I think that after some time everything I was unsure about, got cleared up in a simple way, so pretty much everyone could understand it.
It takes a while before the story really starts to develope, but once it does it's really great, and it certainly got me emotional more than a few times.
I would recommend this drama if you're into chinese historical/ political dramas.

Now, this crime thriller has one of the most well thought out plots I have ever seen. Throughout the entire detective process you're left knowing hardly more than the main character, Kyeongyoon. And talk about a number of plot twists. It will keep you jumping from one person to the next as you try to figure out who-done-it.
Now, this movie doesn't only focus on the brutal scenes. As Kyeongyoon is trying to solve the serial murder case, we begin to see more and more of his personal life. He is getting married soon, but his job keeps taking away from their time together. His past also begins to cause a rift in their relationship, as he begins to spend more and more time trying to find out what happened to Lee Yoonsuh, who was at one time close to Kyeongyoon.
This is where beautiful cinematography comes in. Scenes from the past often take on an almost dream-like quality, with brightened lights and shifting images. This is definitely an experimental move, but it really caught my attention. It gave an almost chaotic feel, which closely mirrored Kyeongyoon's own feelings about his past.
However, the troubled relationship of the engaged couple doesn't begin and end with Kyeongyoon. His fiancée, Soojin, has a shocking past herself. It was quite honestly a jaw-dropping moment when you discover her secrets.
Overall, there are plenty of shockers in this movie and absolutely nothing was done without a purpose. I too was gasping multiple times during the last fifteen minutes as everything was unfolding. A couple viewings of this film might be needed to fully grasp all that happened, but it is well worth the second, third, or in my case, fifth watch.

A promising start which plummets quickly to dissapointment
The drama starts of from Na-bi freeing herself from a toxic relationship but little does she know that soon she will enter the same path with Jae-on. Ofcourse we all would've felt butterflies seeing the chemistry between the two main characters when they meet at the start however we also knew what kind of person jae-on was so we wished for him to have a character development. I would say that we didn't really get to see his development fully as he only starts to change in the last episode. This is presented when he finally releases his butterflies after episodes of saying that he will. Butterflies were used as a metaphor of rebirth and change and releasing them meant he is ready to let go of his previous "flings" and his actions such as flirting. Whether he really changes or not is for Na-bi to handle because what went through that girl's head. At the end I would've just wanted her to stay single because Do-hyuk did not deserve her. Jae on literally is such a manipulator I will never forget the way he harshly grabbed Na-bi's hand in the second last episode. Even after having a go at him she still ended up going back to him. The side couples definitely carried the show for me it was so sweet watching them. Overall I think the ending was a big disappointment and the ending of the webtoon was way better. Also Sam Kim's OST was just perfection the butterflies it gave in the first half.Was this review helpful to you?

two sisters, fall in love with different men and their court story
This drama was better than i anticipated, normally 40 episode ancient drama can be a drag. This one was not too bad!Characters-
Female lead - is the older sister of the Fu family. She has the the wits and the beauty. She is calm and collected.
Male lead- is the prince, who eventually becomes the King. He is smart, handsome and persistent in loving.
Second female lead - is the younger sister in the Fu family. She is the opposite of her older sister. She is feisty, impulsive, hot head and knows martial arts.
Second male- is a good friend of the prince. He's noble, smart, observative, and loyal.
Storyline-
The storyline flowed pretty well for the most part. It starts off with a prophecy from the local people that one of the Fu's daughter will be a queen . Thus making the emperor, cautious. He tells him adopted son, which is the male lead to take one of the Fu's daughter to another state to get married. This was just a fake mission, so they could assassinate the other state's king, and at the same time get rid of the elder Fu daughter. With her wits, she convinces the prince to not kill her. She is saved and slowly began to develop feelings for each other. The younger Fu sister starts liking the general ( aka second lead) .During all this time there is a conniving aunt of the king who doesnt like the fact, that the king likes the adopted prince so much. She believes her son , should be king and plan against the prince. Stuff happens and the prince ends up marrying the second sister. The story then focuses on how the prince eventually becomes prince. How the second sister faked her death to get out of the marriage with the prince who turned king. I wasnt as fond of the last part because it got more political >_<
Points I liked
1) Although the second sister at times can be annoying and naive, but she still cared about her sister and her family. I liked the sister relationship. I hate dramas when its sister turn against sister.
2) I liked the overall friendship and trusted of the two male leads despite still having some problems.
3) I liked the Fu's father. He was a noble and righteous official
4) of course I loved the elder sisters wits
5) love how the king devoted his love for the older sister, he never changed.
Things I didnt like
- the sister of the prince turned king who turned evil, and tried to kill the queen
- the concubine/empress who tried to help poison the queen. I dont even get her storyline, or like where she came from?
- I HATED THE EVIL OFFICIAL aka the king's cousin. He was just as evil like his mother.
Romance- Between the second lead pairing, i would say there is more development/screen time of them shown developing their relationship more than the elder sister and king. Both pairs are cute :) The drama has a good amount of romance. The king's and the older sister was more sad and slower/slightly tragic.
That reminds me.... wth is the ending? I thought she got healed from the poison ? so did she die , or did she leave? too open ended lol

So Disappointed
Wow, this is easily the worst drama I have ever watched, from start to finish, every time there was a choice, the main female lead made the wrong one. I was especially disappointed by the best friend, and wished he could have had a little more pride. What makes him think that ultimately he will be different than the previous two boyfriends? I am just glad this drama ended before we had to watch his heart break, I don't think I would have handled that well. Of course, I didn't handle this ending very well either, the impulse to throw pillows across the room and scream was strong, very very strong.Please, find something else to watch. This entire show was just a PPL covered in bad decisions and heartache.
