Not Bad So Far

Spring Fever isn’t exceptional, but it’s not bad either. It’s an easy watch with a few fun and engaging characters. The male lead is great and definitely one of the highlights. I’m not usually a fan of the female lead in the dramas I’ve seen her in, but she’s fine here. The nephew feels like a younger version of his uncle—just without the muscles. The supporting cast is solid and adds to the overall enjoyment.

The plot is decent and is slowly becoming more interesting. I’m especially curious about the leads’ pasts, which seem likely to play a bigger role moving forward. Overall, it’s a comfortable, watchable drama, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Everyone should watch this drama!!!!

As someone who doesn’t usually watch police or crime dramas, I didn’t expect to enjoy Sword Rose as much as I did. One of the main reasons is the strong performance by the actors. Dilraba Dilmurat did a really good job as Hua Deng Yan. She made the character feel strong but also very human which made it easy to connect with her even for viewers like me who are not into this genre. In conclusion, i think Sword Rose is a meaningful and engaging drama that shows the reality of human trafficking in a clear and honest way. The story is a bit emotional but realistic, supported by strong acting and well-written characters. Even though some parts are heavy, the drama delivers an important message about justice, courage and caring for others. Overall, Sword Rose is worth watching. I willdef rewatch this drama.

Disjointed-felt pieced together with plot holes

I didn't watch the drama of the same title & have not encountered the webtoon, so I had no preconceptions going into it. I see that the female lead is different from the 16 episode series of the same name, which made me wonder why this felt as if it could be just bits & pieces of the 16 episode drama series chopped, spun & thrown at a wall for the end product. By the end I had questions still unanswered. It definitely didn't make me want to watch the drama series ! For me, I would have rather seen the female lead with the second male lead, violent though he may be, at least he was an open book & easy to understand.

a reminder of how scary humans can be

this review will contain spoilers 👏

I had this drama on my plan to watch but didn’t get to it until I needed to play something whilst I was working. it wasn’t until episode 5 that really got me interested

when we start out the story we see two narratives in play one of lawyer baek and yoon soo
we start to wonder which one is the truth? is it that of the lawyer saying she killed her husband or yoonsoo narrative that someone masked killed him

frankly I believed that this would your typical story of main female protagonist that gets abused and kills her husband then finds a way to dodge jail
but I was wrong

this drama also tells us how strong of a story the so called lawyers and police officer can tell the public and how easily we the public are swayed by such words of confirmation from authorities that plan to run with a side of one story that seems the most likely

it once again shows how weak and easy the justice system is, how many people have been accused wrongly by such “authorities”, how once again this so called justice of a system fails many people more than it can save and serve its justice that it is intended for

at first I kinda believed that yoon soo did kill her husband. then comes out 2nd key player Moeun
I don’t remember if she mentioned specifically why she helped yoon soo and why she did that but I really thought she might have been the main villain of this story in the beginning

later we find out that the family she killed was the family of the son who abused her little sister and made her jump

as the ball of yarn starts to unravel itself by the final episodes I can’t help but feel it started to get rather overwhelming because of the characters introduced which caused the final revelation to be rather underwhelming which a lot of shows whether western or Asian suffer from (some example are why she chose to film herself and go on livestream and the grandpa being rather random)

the acting from jeon doyeon and Kim goeun did not disappoint at all
I saw some comments saying how the killers motive wasn’t a motive at all and I very much disagree because as much as this is fiction this part does happen in reality
if you have ever seen any true crime stories or cases you would be very shocked to hear how many of the killers motives were rather petty
I’ve heard some stories from social media in news
such as a South Korean man sexually assaulted a random women simply because he didn’t like how she looked at him, crazy right?
people just don’t realize how scary we as a human kind can be and how just small words and the simplest stuff can be such a trigger to many people and they resort to violence

such as the wife snapping and killed yoon soo husband simply because yoon soo husband told a lie and the wife’s husband had to suffer at work due to his boss believing yoon soo husband lie

many people don’t realize just how scary pent up emotions especially frustration and negative emotions and how that can be a ticking time bomb
so I would just say it is possible for a killer to have a very petty and emotional reason to kill someone over the simplest thing as well as we also suffer from mental problems which can be a very big deciding factor on how the person will act in that moment without realizing it

overall it wasn’t bad, it was rather interesting but the 2nd half does fall short like many kdramas nowadays. the acting from the main female leads were great and it’s a rather slow story that pick up eventually



with the amount of dramas I’ve watched within like last year such as law and the city, speed and love,typhoon family and this , Thailand is really getting its spotlight lol it’s so popular

Nice one

The Unclouded Soul is a 40-episode drama about relationships between humans and demons, and the greed within them to become immortal. Even those who are already immortal seek greater power.
I liked the drama, especially the love story between the leads. It also has a few light and humorous scenes. Overall, everything was fine except the ending. Firstly, I disliked the killing of the three demons who had been sealed in the mountain for many years. Secondly, I was dissatisfied with the ending of the leads’ love story.
Apart from that, everything else was perfect. The background music and songs were also good.

Touching and Inspiring

For me, Romantic Anonymous is both touching and inspiring. While viewers may have different opinions about this drama, I personally can’t compare it with others - it has its own unique charm that sets it apart. The number of episodes is just right; it doesn’t feel rushed, yet it doesn’t drag, allowing the story and characters to breathe naturally.

Although it’s a J-drama, it surprisingly gives off strong K-drama vibes, which made the experience even more enjoyable for me. I was already familiar with Han Yoo Joo from Moving, and she once again proved how superb she is as an actress. Her performance felt sincere and emotionally grounded, making it easy to connect with her character.

What I appreciated most is how the drama portrayed different kinds of phobias. It reminded me that there are many forms of fear people struggle with, and that having one doesn’t make them weak or strange. Instead of judging, the drama encourages understanding and empathy, something we all need more of in real life.

I also loved the mission and purpose of the company depicted in the story. Whether big or small, the values it showed care, respect, and humanity - made a strong impact. If more companies in real life operated with the same mindset, workplaces would be healthier, relationships more harmonious, and people genuinely happier.

Overall, Romantic Anonymous is a heartfelt drama that leaves you not only entertained, but also more compassionate and reflective.

I feel like this is THE office drama

Little spolers, I'm sorry
This is the standard office drama: he the CEO and she the secretary. Nothing new but a classic drama, an evergreen. The comedy part is really good, enjoyable and pleasant, it doesn’t feel too much, everything makes sense related to the characters. The relationships are strong and feel coherent. For example, I love the friendship between the Lee Young-Jun and Park Yu-Sik. Also, the atmosphere inside the work team is genuine and not toxic at all. Lastly, the two side couples are funny, cute and concrete (they don’t feel like just a ‘filling the episodes’ thing).
The family drama is well done. Young-Jun parents facing their mistakes, apologising for what happened with both brothers and these two talking things out. They all start a new path as a family, Young-Jun’s brother goes to therapy, wants to find himself.
The main couple is good (ofc) but, for me, there should have been a change that I don’t see: good work/private balance. After they get together, it feels like they still are boss and employee after work hours. She is apologising for things that should be nothing. The output is to have him often right and she, somehow, wrong, even when the apology is mutual. I see him trying to be different and being rejected by her behaviour. She is the one that doesn’t understand that, since they’re a couple now, things should be different. Not at work, I only mean this for private stuffs. For example, she was late for the fitting because of work, why is he mad? And why does she apologies? And why did he pick her dress and hairstyle for the wedding? I don’t find this right.
The acting was definitely the highlight of this show, fantastic. Nothing to say, it was all great and marvellous, everyone did a great job. Every character is singular somehow and it’s not just due to the idea itself but also to how it was portraited. Moving moments were well acted. Park Seo-Jun and Park Min-Young are amazing. I love her so much, I saw other works of her but he was a surprise. I’m going to watch other dramas of his now. I have to say something about the kissing and stuff: I’m amazed. I have seen other dramas, and this show is from 2018 so…I’m impressed of how the kisses are good (except for maybe two, the ones that starts her and I don’t know how to explain this to myself). The hugs re fine as well, quite natural even though he never lays his chin on her shoulder (왜요??).
The songs are good; the sound and graphic effects are great (i particulrly like Park Seo-Jun singing, but i can see it is recorded and the lipsing isn't perfect). The settings are fine, nothing that catch my eyes except for Kim Mi-So’s home and the rooftop apt with all those plants. I don’t like some scenes and editing stuffs. Sometimes I see angles that don’t make sense, I feel like some shootings could have been better if directed in a different way, and there is a wrong-edited part (a repetition of a take from the same pov. You can see that is wrong since there’s a gap, the face moved, just a little).
I’m writing this review after watching it for the second time (first time at least five years ago). As I said before, I feel like it’s an evergreen. This dynamic is frequently used but those two (main couple) aren’t easily forgettable.

Thank you for reading <3

Reverse harem Tea Drama

This drama is so witty and lighthearted fun from the first episode. I love when a reverse harem is done right. Many different personalities to see with the suitors as well as with the sisters.

Strong character types for the main leads. Neither being overly strong in any one area but both well rounded in their own ways.

There is a lot on historical tea plantations and the process of producing a quality product as well as the impact of such a family on society. I haven't seen a drama show these things before, so this adds to that new and refreshing feel.

The scenes and sets are lovely and feel big and expansive. The pacing is great; the storyboarding is great. The plot has felt a little lost in episodes 10-15, but it's fun to see any of the characters interacting so I haven't minded this too much. But the drama brings this back on track by episode 16.

Please Junho be in a show with a better script

First of all, I watched this for Junho and only Junho. I don't really care for superhero type stories to begin, so I wouldn't have watched it or finished it if it weren't for him.

Positives!
-I liked how short it was. It didn't try to drag the story out at all which was nice.
-Great cast! Obviously, I love Junho, but I also loved seeing Lee Chae Min and Shin Su Hyun too.
-The action scenes and effects were pretty cool.
-We got to see Junho shirtless and who doesn't love that
-Sang Ung & Min Suk's relationship was pretty cute most of them time.
-I liked Cho Nathan as a villain!
-LOVED Se Eun as a villain!

Negatives
-The point of Jeong Ja's character was almost pointless. I know it wasn't, but the character seemed like such an afterthought. She was barely in it.
-Cho Anna was just not an intimidating villain at all.
-Ho In annoyed me the entire show
-The concept was okay. Personally, I found it kind of lame that all their powers had such dumb limits. It made it a little annoying more than anything.
-The storyline with cops was always kind of stupid and useless, like most cop plotlines in these shows to be honest.
-Sang Ung's dad

Sang Ung's dad is the real villain of the show. What kind of dad passes down sh*tty powers and explains absolutely nothing about it?! And gives him the number to Jeong Ja in case he needs help, but she's literally a LOAN SHARK who he owes BILLIONS to?! TF?!?!

Overall, this show was pretty mid. Not bad but not good.

Not Only Friendship was Found in this Show but a Partnership

I’ve been meaning to watch this show for a long time but never got the chance to watch it since I’ve been so busy, but I finally got to watch DMD Friendship the Reality, It Takes Two. This show was really enjoyable and I was really grateful that this was a show because I haven’t watched the first season which I should’ve, but I genuinely wanted to watch this season mainly for TeeTeePor and AuauSave since I’ve been following Por and Auau since they debuted in DVI which was a long time ago. I liked the concept of this show since I feel it’s good for a couple to mutually choose each other instead of being assigned to each other which is common in the industry, but what I liked about it is that everyone had the option to choose someone they liked, felt comfortable with, basically everything that you would experience if they were a real life couple instead of an acting couple and I feel that’s very important especially for real chemistry since this show let everyone hang out and learn more about the person they were interested with and even though it was awkward at times they will eventually get used to it, but they will have good chemistry and a good friendship. What I also liked about this show is that not only did actors find their partners, but they also got the opportunity to make more friends under the Domundi and they got to be friends and make friendships with people under Gen 4 instead of them never getting to meet each other due to their schedules and only meet through events. Also I may spoil some parts of the show so be aware.
Honestly this show made me actually more obsessed with couples I didn’t think I would be obsessed with and I found new actors that I love. I would say the only bad part of this show was adding people in later on since I felt it did give those people less chances for getting to know people or it had a good effect since it did lead to many people finding there partner. Anyways these were my opinions on everyone. I am gonna be honest I haven’t seen First Prince yet but I have watched the trailer so I knew Jimmy and Ohm were gonna be a couple and I have seen many TikToks of Jimmy and Ohm and I love their vibe since they are actually really funny together and I do feel that when I was watching this show they were like a real life couple because Jimmy was one of the latecomers but when he came he was like attached to Ohm and they were cute and it was hard to not feel this was a dating show because of how they acted but I think this is the good part of the show since it shows that Jimmy and Ohm have actual chemistry and I honestly can’t wait to see them in Magic Lover (praying it comes out this year). I knew Latte and Kim were gonna be a couple since I’ve seen TikTok’s of them together, but I wasn’t as interested in them that much since I didn’t know either of them and they haven’t been in a show together yet so I haven’t seen anything of them but I will watch the first season so I can see how Latte was and learn more about him, but I will say that I loved Kim since I feel he’s a genuine and nice person and he deserved the award for the friendliest person (I think that was what it was) since he connected with everyone and knew how to make everyone feel more comfortable with not only him but with everyone else and I especially loved him for talking to Save when he was down about Auau not picking him during the first episode since it showed that Kim is a nice person. I have seen Net in his previous shows with James and I loved him so much and I was actually a fan of his when him and James “broke up” and I remember crying for him and seeing his sad face on a livestream and I am so grateful that he met JJ since I actually love him so much and I feel he’s such a good person. I loved both Net and JJ in this show and I don’t care if Net was a latecomer because it was obvious that JJ was gonna be with Net since they’ve been together forever and I’m not 100% sure if JJ was announced for Love Upon a Time and as a partner of Net before the show aired, but I love JJ since he’s also like Kim where he is very sweet and caring of others and makes a lot of jokes that make everyone laugh and I especially liked his heart to heart conversation with Net where they both said why they want each other and their past where they have experienced a bad relationship which I feel makes their relationship together much more stronger and I love that Net now has JJ. Honestly there isn’t much I have to say about Ryujin since he joined much later than everyone else and I wasn’t a big fan of him literally on the day of picking your partners that he basically said to Auau during Friendship time that he basically liked everyone in the house for an option to be his partner and I honestly feel he isn’t that interested in being a couple with Patji since they barley spoke that much on the show and in the end he choose himself which I won’t judge but it’s good to want to strengthen your skills before you commit to being in a partnership. One of my new favorites in Patji and I just started watching the 3 season of this show for Patji since I really hope he can find a partner since I know he wants one and I literally want someone good to be with him since even though he’s young and has a lot more to learn he is really talented and mature since he didn’t give up after loosing but worked harder which lead to him being in the top 3 for best performance and I also liked his character in Your Sky which is also why I liked him and him and Por’s relationship was adorable since they were like brothers and I loved the ghost ship of “PatjiPor.” Now time for my favorites which is AuauSave and I also wanted to watch this series not only for Auau but also for Save since he’s so adorable and I love him so much that he’s become one of my favorites and I literally loved how Save set his eyes on Auau and wanted him no matter what and I literally was so sad for Save when Auau didn’t pick him for the friendship time in the first episode like he was so sad he barley even ate, but I’m glad he ended up getting his friendship time where he got to make an egg rug but didn’t want it to took Auau’s cat rug and I think that was when Auau wanted him as well. What I liked the most about AuauSave is that they both helped make each other more confident and stronger in their skills for example Auau said that Save helped raise his confidence and comforted him when he was sad and Save said Auau helped him strengthen and become confident in his singing and dancing even know he doesn’t have the skills like Auau. I also was smiling so hard after they choose each other because Auau was so said when Save didn’t walk in but Save was late because he was afraid Auau didn’t pick him but when they saw each other they were so happy and their pictures were adorable. I literally almost started crying when Auau had his talk with Por since I know that they’ve been through so much together since they were in DVI together which was such an amazing group but their label terminated every artist under their label which included DVI which meant that they disbanded which devastated me a lot since I really loved them and it’s hard to describe what they both went through after that and what I glad is at least they are the two DVI guys that are constantly together I’m glad they are both in the same company together since personally I feel Auau and Por need each other since they both know what each other went through and their relationship is way different from a friendship that they will gain from being in this show and Auau is honestly an amazing person who is really talented and I am glad that he won the Best Performance award after being runner up or in the running for first in almost every mission and it shows that you should never give up but work harder since that’s what he did and he won an award for it! I am also glad that he is now in DEXX since he can live his idol dreams again along with being an actor with Save where they will star in Mr. Fanboy together and I am glad that he has Save since Save is a very good person and they both deserve each other especially after their chemistry in Your Sky. Now for TeeTeePor I love both TeeTee and Por so much and I love watching DEXX’s MV’s for them since they are both not only a good singer but and an amazing dancer which is literally why they won the best partner award especially after their performance together since they both compliment each other a lot and are perfect together. I loved seeing Por be all flustered and shy around TeeTee especially whenever they would talk because Por would always be smiling and adorable which I love seeing since after what he’s been through and Por has always been an amazing singer and personally was one of the best singers in DVI. Also TeeTee and Por might be an amazing couple since they won every reward that they got when they were a couple and I loved their performance of their robot show since TeeTee is an adorable robot and Por was such an adorable master since he got so flustered by TeeTee and even though they improvised through the script they both did so amazing and I was so relieved, happy, and proud that they won that mission and P’ Aof picked them to win. Also I am so excited for Duang with You to come out this month like I literally can’t wait any longer!!!
Anyways I loved this show a lot because it made me love more actors which means I will watch their series and I loved the concept of this show since it’s a mutual partnership with real chemistry and friendship instead of the company picking them to be together where their might be no chemistry. Also everyone was really talented and actual good singers on this show that they should make a group with Gen 4. Also I will say that this show did make me smile and giggle a lot and satisfied my needs of seeing couples interact after their shows ended or waiting for their new show together and it did make it feel that this was a dating show instead of reality show which made me much happier. Anyways I do recommend watching this especially if you want to watch a couple or learn how they got together or you’re waiting for their show to come which might take months but need to see them together ASAP and honestly you won’t regret watching this because it’s really fun.

What a journey it has been!✨ It may not be the ending everyone was hoping for, but hey — it’s the ending they wanted to achieve. It’s a fantasy, y’all… anything can happen✌️😎

Congrats to the TUS team 👏 for bringing these actors to the small screen. They truly deserve respect for giving us such a wonderful show🎬❤️

For those expecting intense, passionate romance, this might not be for you — but it’s definitely for me🥰. I love the subtle, light romance, where each character grows into understanding what pure love really is🌸💛

And who said TSY and HMH don’t have chemistry?!😳 You crazy??? Of all the BTS I’ve seen of HMH, his smiles and laughters here are so different😆💖 — there’s a hint of shyness 🙈 and a dash of giddiness. It’s like seeing him for who he really is, as a person. I just can’t explain it😭😄

I would highly recommend this to everyone — yes, you, you, you… go watch it!🎉🎬✨

The Camellia that could've been an easy 10!

It deserves the 8/10, BUT the crime story was dragged and wasn't really well-written, it was all over the place. I also really disliked every scene with Gyu Tae and the ex with his wife, it's sad because I love both Oh Jung Se and Yeom Hye Ran. The best character development of the show is 100% Hyang Mi. Son Dam Bi was so good in this role. At first she made me dislike her character, then it was a complete 180.

The 2 main leads were cute and fun together, I didn't feel it was cringe for a minute, even tho sometimes it was a childish romance, and the rest of the cast is likable as well, but this drama could've been a 10/10 without this serial killer or at least a better-written crime story. The whole family drama and love story could've carried the show alone, to be honest.

Im Sang Choon really shines as a writer when she writes character dramas, not crime stories.

The OST and directing were also great!

This is a must-watch if you can ignore the dragged-out crime story, because it's a heartwarming love story about family and romantic love as well.

This Geed movie is pretty simple, and the script is full of plot conveniences. Still, it’s a fun watch, but as is often the case with this new generation of Ultras, it’s noticeably weaker than the TV series it’s based on. It’s a very straightforward film with a nice message at the end about “everyone being an Ultraman.” The reference to “Jean Fight!” was especially funny (context: Hamada Tatsuomi, who is Ultraman Geed, previously worked on Revenge of Belial, where he operated the robot Jean). It’s a funny reference.

Overall, the movie isn’t essential for those who have already watched Ultraman Geed; it’s safe to skip.

PS: Whoever wrote the other review needs Jesus, because that was rough.
