Attached and Invested

I’ve been enjoying Mr. Fanboy so far, and Auau and Save’s portrayal of ThirdWan is definitely one of my favorite things about it. I especially love how they handle the more intimate scenes and serious talks because you can really appreciate their acting in those moments. They make ThirdWan so easy to get attached to, and I just love seeing them bring these characters to life.

RenjiTime are also such intriguing characters, and Ryujin and Patji are doing a great job portraying them! And James Su, PLEASE, his performance as Nine in the latest episode deserves so much appreciation. It’s always nice seeing actors really deliver when it comes to their characters.

Having read the novel, I also appreciate the differences between it and the series. It makes me even more curious about how they’ll wrap everything up, especially with how the series has chosen to tell the story. I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing how everything comes together.

Overall, I’m really enjoying this series, and the cast is a big reason why. Here’s hoping the remaining episodes give these characters the ending they deserve!

Im a Fan so i am biased..

So like the disclaimer above.. i am biased and im proud of it.

This show didnt get an ounce of pre heat nor promotion. But to hell with it its a job well done for the LTD team. 👏👏👏

They gave us a gripping story with relatable characters. its a story of Chen siblings, how they navigate thru death, lies, search for justice and survival. They showed that Families may not always see each eye to eye but when things go heywire you also reach out to family first.

Chen zheyuan is a phenomenal is this drama he embodied Chen shan’ s character the good the bad, flaws and all you wont see even a hint of his previous charater in this show . He was 💯 percent Chen Shan.

Through LTD i get to watch other amazing actors like Jiang xin and Ren i was rooting for their character as well

After watching this im not concern of the next collab of Yuan and the director infact im sooo looking forward to it

Predictable storyline but with good acting and fun side characters

The plot for “To Love and Cherish” is really simple and predictable. So, if you are looking for something unique, this is not it. However, even if it’s a familiar storyline, this drama still has its charms, mainly due to the young couple and the fun side characters.

I’m not going to lie, I picked this drama up because I haven’t seen Film in a while and I was informed by a friend that there are BL actors not kissing boys here. LOL You know, Boss, Pond and Aston. I am also a fan of second-chance romance, so why not? It’s only 10 episodes and each episode is not as long as a typical lakorn.

Although the lovely young couple’s acting isn’t perfect, they are definitely sweet and charming. You see how cute young Ran and Yai were, and you ponder how they became such depressed adults. What did they go through that changed them so much?

Aston (young Yai) and Neeya (young Ran) are just too adorable. The flashback scenes of them are a breath of fresh air. They exude typical young innocence and sweetness. I was glad the drama was not afraid to show us some sweet kisses, shameless flirting and declaration of love. When scenes require them to be more emotional (later in the drama), that’s when it shows they need to be more seasoned to act those out. They are not bad, but compared to Film and Bua, they pale in comparison. I still love them very much.

As the adult Yai and Bua, Film and Bua definitely show us the controlled angst, the depression and the hard lives they had. The acting is great, especially with some of the subtle facial expressions. They don’t have to be loud, it’s the controlled emotions that shine. This pair is a great contrast to their younger counterparts. The chemistry is ok but not great. Even when they finally got together, I still don’t quite feel the love that should be overwhelming. They say all the right things, but to me, the chemistry isn’t strong. Unfortunately, their storyline is not as interesting as the flashbacks. The animosity that Yai has is understandable and Bua knows it and takes them all in quietly and maturely. I just wish their resolution would come sooner, and has this us-against-them mentality. Maybe that way the chemistry would have been better.

The supporting cast is wonderful. I just saw Pond in “The Edge of Horizon” and I hated his guts. I didn’t know if I could ever recover and I am so glad I saw him here again in “To Love and Cherish”. As Alex, he’s so lovely and sweet. Pond redeemed himself in my books. Pond didn’t overact here (thank goodness) and his character is just so supportive, calm and mature. On the other hand, Boss is so funny. He’s not the cool guy in his BL dramas, but this goofy and adorable famous actor, Sam. We know he’s not going to get the girl (all his fans will revolt) but it’s still fun to see him in a role where he can have some fun and go after a girl with his BL buddies. Lastly is the little sis, Dao. That girl is sassy and smart. She’s a wonderful addition to this trio of supporting characters that makes the drama so easy to watch. A big reason I am giving this drama at least an 8.0.

Well, what’s a Thai drama without a couple annoying and evil characters? We definitely have them here. Two women who are relentless and shameless. You definitely want to strangle them and make them shut up. Once I saw who plays Yai’s mother, I already knew this actress is going to create drama.

Even though “To Love and Cherish” did not bring anything new to the table, I did have an easy and good time watching it. It can be a quick binge, or a first easy introduction to a non-BL romance Thai drama. It has frustrating moments, but not a frustrating watch. I just wish I could love the chemistry between Film and Bua more, since they are the story.

SEASON 2 PLEASEEE

"Having not read the original novel, I am uncertain of the differences between it and the series. However, the screenplay is exceptionally well-crafted, featuring excellent structure and narrative pacing. The dialogue profoundly reflects social commentary and life philosophies, cleverly distributed among the characters as they confide in and comfort one another. Every line respects the character's background and context, ensuring the audience never feels preached to or subjected to forced moralizing—a common flaw in other dramas. Consequently, viewers can naturally resonate with and appreciate their words. Furthermore, the protagonist's capabilities are portrayed realistically. Instead of being an omnipotent hero, their success stems from good fortune, innate intelligence, and a continuous pursuit of knowledge to ensure the survival of themselves and their companions. The protagonist does not solve every crisis single-handedly but collaborates with others, combining their knowledge to resolve obstacles incrementally. This stands in stark contrast to conventional dramas, where the main character unrealistically bears the entire burden alone, which often becomes tedious."

It’s a reminder of resilience, hope, and the beauty of never giving up

Nice View is a difficult movie to watch—not because it lacks hope, but because every moment feels like watching an ordinary person fight an extraordinary battle just to keep his family alive. Moving forward demands courage, tremendous sacrifices, and sometimes taking a giant leap of faith into the unknown.

I couldn’t help but cry, not only because of the movie itself, but also because of how deeply its story reflects our everyday struggles. It reminds us of the silent battles people fight, the sacrifices they make for the ones they love, and the strength they find even when life seems determined to break them.

There is no such thing as a perfect world, and life will never promise us an easy road. But this movie reminds us that as long as we keep going, our story isn’t over. The road ahead may be rough, narrow, and full of uncertainties, but that doesn’t mean we have to walk it alone.

Sometimes, just when we feel like giving up, we meet people who believe in us, lend us a hand, and help us rise when we can no longer stand on our own. Because success isn’t always about how far we can go alone, but also about the people who walk beside us and help us get there.

Nice View is more than just a story about chasing success. It’s a reminder of resilience, hope, and the beauty of never giving up—even when life gives us every reason to.

A heartfelt reminder that no matter how difficult life gets, there is still hope as long as we keep moving forward. ❤️

A lovely watch full of cute interactions, fascinating gaming scenes, and lots of eye-candy!

Ahhhh i loved this drama so much, my second C-Drama (after wifty) and it was so adorable. The way the ML flirts with the FL makes me blush & fan myself, it’s so attractive. The gaming & fight scenes are very fun and hype to watch, even for someone like me who’s not really into gaming. The OST in this drama was so good, and the music during the competition scenes made it all feel so epic. The characters are all very lovable, even the ex-boyfriend. Not to mention the actors are all very good-looking and it makes the watch very pleasant hahahaha. I also love FL’s best friend, such a supportive baddie and amazing friend, and also the dynamic between all the ZGDX team members. So heartwarming. I’m gonna be reading the novel as well bcz i cant get enough of this story! Definitely recommend this drama if u like fluffy romcoms :)

So interesting and keeps you engaged

This show really surprised me with how good the writing is! The cast also do a fantastic job at really capturing what their characters are going through. The osts for the show also have all been really good so far. Auausave are fantastic actors that gave their all to these roles and i'm so shocked that this is their first main role, can't wait for more from them in the future. Ryujinpatji as renjitime are also very intriguing to me, we have yet to see their true motivations in the story but so far they have been doing a fantastic job. James as nine also nailed his role, his portrayal was layered and nuanced not a one dimensional villian role.

If you really want to watch this drama, watch until Episode 10. SKIPPING Episode 11 is a MUST.

Plot: 32 years old Yoshino Michi was been married for almost 5 years. But hasn’t had s** for the last 2 years. One day while talking to her colleague Niina Makoto, she spilled her secret with him about her s**less marriage life. But to her surprise, Niina responded with saying his marriage was also s**less.
.
Light Spoiler: Michi and Makoto both of them were unhappy in their married life. It was not all about s**. It was also about love, care, priorities and other things. Both of their partners were top notched selfish persons. Michi’s husband didn’t valued her, che*ted on her with his coworker, and took her for granted until she decided to move on. Same goes for Makoto’s wife. All she cared about was her position in her office. She avoided Makoto everyday until she realised it was too late. At some point, I was hoping them to start Che*ting on their partners.
.
Spoiler Alert: I was quite disappointed with this drama. I mean the main lead’s acting was really good. But writer did them dirty. Somehow Michi and Makoto emotionally attaches to each other. Both of them found that peace what they craved for all these years. But still they couldn’t continue it because of their sense of responsibilities towards their marriages. But after some ups and downs finally both of them decides to divorce their partners. Both of them focuses on their careers. Specially Michi tries to be more independent. On the other hand, Makoto’s feelings for Michi was always sincere. He tried one last time to reconcile with Michi, but she rejects him saying she won’t be able to return his love. So this was the story until Episode 10. Pretty decent I would say. But then Episode 11 comes to screw everything up. Her husband (Yesss.. remember that selfish partner) asked for second chance and she forgives him. I mean WHATTTT? I was really sad for Makoto. This character really got me :,)
.
If you really want to watch this drama, watch until Episode 10. SKIPPING Episode 11 is a MUST.

This drama is very lovely

I love the plot of this drama. I love how they both remembers the memories they have built with their new life when they were in coma. However, coming back to the original present means that Gao Rui is dead. The overall story is so good but the only thing that makes me sad is Gao Rui.

The Complicated Search for Belonging

I had the opportunity to see 3670 at a film festival, and I'm glad I did.

Park Joon-ho's debut feature brings together two communities that rarely share the screen: North Korean defectors and Seoul's queer community. What makes this combination so powerful is that the film never treats either identity as the only story that matters. Cheol-jun is navigating two worlds, each with its own expectations, unspoken rules and ideas of belonging, without feeling entirely at home in either.

What I found particularly compelling was the way the film explores how deeply we are shaped by the environments we grow up in. Our experiences influence how we understand other people, how we express ourselves and what we feel comfortable leaving unsaid. Moving to a new country and finding a new community doesn't simply erase those formative experiences. Cheol-jun may be building a new life in South Korea, but he cannot leave everything that shaped him behind. And when people with very different backgrounds meet, even when they want similar things, they don't necessarily know how to reach each other.

The title itself captures something of this search. 3670 refers to a code used to arrange gatherings within Seoul's gay community. It isn't a name or a place in itself, but a way in an opportunity to find people and perhaps a place to belong.

Cho You-hyun carries the film with an incredibly expressive performance. Cheol-jun isn't particularly talkative, so much of his emotional world has to come through his face and his silences. I think one of the clearest signs of a good actor is the ability to communicate complex emotions without having to spell them out, and Cho is extraordinary at this.

What stayed with me most, though, was the film's understanding of communication. People can want the same things and still hurt each other because they've learned to express their feelings in different ways — or to keep them to themselves. Even a conversation meant to clear things up doesn't guarantee that the whole truth will come to the surface. Sometimes things remain unsaid not because someone wants to cause harm, but because being honest can make an already difficult situation even more complicated.

Finding community doesn't automatically mean finding safety or understanding. Every social environment has its own dynamics, expectations and limitations, and learning to navigate them takes time. 3670 recognises this without becoming cynical about human connection.

For a low-budget debut, this film has a remarkable amount to say about how we are shaped by our past, how difficult it can be to truly understand one another, and what it means to want to find a place where we belong.
