One of the best!
This i by far one of the best drama's i have seen! The story is great, with several plot twists.I really liked how you could see the clear battle formations. And in a lot of drama's they say it's an army of thousands, and you only see about 100 or less man fighting. In this drama you actually see thousands!
The visuals are stunning and the music very beautiful.
The acting is top notch, a few of my favorite actors were in it, like Yang Yang, Zhao Lu Si and Leon Lai.
The chemistry and dynamics between Yang an Lu Si is amazing and te kisses were good.
This is a must watch!

I KNOW I'M LATE BUT THIS ONE IS JUST SO GOODDD 🥰😍I remembered when I first watched the trailer it was so gooddd the whole perfectionist sandwich sceneeee and the romeo and juliet plot this one is reallyyyy good like how their families are enemies even when they weren't born yet so they were forced to hate each otherrrr.
Sadly, there is no more OhmNanon 😔😢

Age Gap Fluff
THE CHECKLIST:✅ Does the age gap feel creepy or earned? Earned. Disgustingly earned. I came prepared to be concerned and left betrayed by my own feelings.
✅ Does she have actual agency? Mom has her in a chokehold for a while but she escapes and THRIVES. Character development? In THIS economy?
✅ Partner or does he treat her like a kid? Starts fully patronizing her. Ends completely whipped. The pipeline was short and I watched every second.
✅ Chemistry real or are we being gaslit? Liu Xiao Xu fell so hard for this woman the earth shifted. Scientists were concerned. Nobody warned him this was coming least of all himself.
✅ Uncomfortable nickname that becomes your whole personality? She calls him "Teacher Yu" like a war crime until he decides the punishment is kissing her every time she does it. She immediately calls him Teacher Yu seventeen more times. GIRL.
✅ Sister subplot a distraction? The sister subplot should have its own show. I'm not joking. Give me the spinoff.
✅ He catches feelings first while aggressively denying it? Baby he was GONE by episode three and spent more episodes lying about it to himself. Sir. We could SEE you.
Bottom line: Pure fluff. Zero nutrition. Completely irresistible. Yang Shu Yu is quiet and devastating and Liu Xiao Xu spends the entire runtime being adorable against his will.
Perfect for: Everyone. Obviously.
Skip if: You have taste. Kidding. Mostly.
Fluff Rating: ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
Ick Factor: 0/10 and I'm annoyed about it
Teacher Yu Simp Spiral: 📚📚📚📚📚

a drama about all the taboo topics!!!
This was such a refreshing show to watch! The drama discussed very delicately but at the same time very rawly different taboo topics (in Korea and well honestly all around the world) such as lgbt+ relationships, basically corruption in police system, different health concerns (mental & physical) and so much more. I personally think that this wasn't your typical revenge drama, but actually so much more than that. I really loved all the actors who played in this drama!Was this review helpful to you?
okay now we're talking
This season was so much better than the first one! The story was built better and the characters actually had more depth than in the first season. I'd say that one thing I usually love about revenge-ish dramas is that the main character has someone on their side, even if the whole world is against them. I really liked the Lee Sa-Rang dude, he was so sweet and kind all of the time.Was this review helpful to you?
soooooo cringy and irritating at first glance
I really tried to bite through this one, I didn't like the first season that much, but I kept going because it left us on a cliffhanger. I'd say that the actors and the actresses did their job excellently and left us with so much irritation towards them which I think is quite well done. Although this drama is based off of a quite dumb narrative in my opinion, going that much trouble just to get "rich" is insanity of work.Was this review helpful to you?
boring
It dragged on until it became boring.At first it was funny and the story started to flow, but it got to the middle and started to get boring. I don't think it should have 16 episodes, maybe 12 episodes would be better, because up until episode 16 it dragged on and I got to a point where I couldn't stand the main characters anymore.

Great plot
A great plot that has everything, culture, folklore, history, politics/corruption/subversion, fantasy, and romance (an unconditional love story), everything in precise doses, great chemistry between the leads, perfect casting, characters that develop with the plot, in general, in life you need to meet the right people at the right time, who can also change a fixed worldview, whether it's a man and a woman or whether it's friends or girlfriends.. For those who love historical drama, it's perfect and recommended (and it doesn't have the violence that you usually see in historical dramas) ♥♥Was this review helpful to you?
BEAUTIFUL! IT WAS SHORT BUT ENJOYABLE!
I like this series it was a bit short on the episodes but overall, it was worth the time. All the actors were pretty and handsome. I like how straight-forward it was bruh no intro no outro just the thing you want to watch.The ending was cool it was a cliffhanger but a realistic ending in a sense that not all love is meant to be a happy ending.
The continuation is that he got to the airport and said goodbye to his little brother then many years later. His brother married his girlfriend and had a child then lived happily ever after. 🥰😍🥳🥳

K-Drama Sequels usually disappoint
This will be a short review since i wont write much about the plot for spoilers, but I was a huge fan of the first season and was left feeling like season 2 was lackluster and found season 3 disappointing.I'm not sure about this, but what i read online is that the first season was based on the manhwa, and it was a short manhwa which ended at the end of season 1. Season 2 and 3 should be originals regarding the plot and it shifted towards a more comedic genre. this is especially true for season 2.
Season 3 tried to pull it back to a more serious tone but still keeps tries to keep comedy. what we have is basically similar to what happened with Thor 4....which isn't great...
The action scenes also disappoint greatly . Season 1 Action scenes were superb, 2 introduced motion sickness with the camera flying around like a drone stuck in a whirlwind and season 3..if you blink you'd miss the action...
also Season 1 and 2 still stuck to punishing the bad guys. Either thru an eye for an eye or a proper imprisonment. Here, they're just executed...and finally, the connection between season 2 and 3...doesn't exist..it just wasn't addressed, and we're left with a cliffhanger for season 4 that would never be made...
Disappointing

Because if I remember one thing, it's that the Japanese one didn't have a good end at all, not the show nor the movie xD and I dare say, as should be!!
I can understand how they went with the story, even the cheating characters and the reason behind it, but I can't for the life of me understand Jung Woo's wife "Min young".
Honey, if someone marries you to get your ass out of a messy infidelity relationship, and you leave this guy for 3 years alone to achieve your dreams in a another country then he asks you for a divorce! You give him one!! Because the whole "good wife" character isn't you!! You did the same before so if your husband cheated, you should not dare to act hurt or confront him and force him into a relationship with you!! You reap what you sow !!
Now for other characters
FL: coward 1 ... Because I don't think your husband being a nice guy is a reason enough to not ask for a divorce if you can't breathe without the ML... Just divorce him, because after all this mess, you will end up divorced anyway, and even if we put cheating aside, girl!! The way he treated you Vs the birds?? FFS why are you with him?? Because Nice isn't a quality enough to keep you married to him, so he treated you badly, didn't notice when you are sick or even care about you, moreover you have a sexless marriage for 3 years??? 3 FREAKIN YEARS, MATE!!! And not to mention his intrusive mother who keep stressing you about kids while it's her son's fault!! What exactly were you waiting for to leave?? What made me more furious is the fact that by the end of the series, he is now married with a child! C'mon! If you don't like your wife enough to sleep with her or she can't make you"get it up", then leave her don't push her into a marriage that is useless for both of you ~
ML: coward 2, what's keeping you in this marriage? Give me one reason to stay in it? You have never loved her, never cared about her, she belittles you and low-key ashamed of you, she leaves you behind for 3 years and come back after learning with your money to look down on you... Tell me again why are you in this relationship???
SFL: now here I kinda see a reason to stay in this damned marriage, 2 kids one of them is practically a baby, still the husband is terrible, I don't understand one thing, you were this open brave woman who cheated repeatedly with literally everyone and you were so out and about, telling people you don't even know about your rendezvous openly, then oh my god my kids!! My husband caught me!! And I can't live without them, you suddenly remember that you are a mother? Oh please!! You are a great mother for sure, but you saw that coming ~
SML: Mr. Enigma... I just don't understand him, so I'll just leave him be~
One thing I didn't like generally about this show is so many intrusive characters, like the high schooler kid? Wtf is wrong with you!! If you have a family situation just focus on your family, don't go and snoop around other people's affairs!! And the hoobae in FL's husband's office, girl get a grip!! You have this long confrontation with the FL about her husband while you practically did the same, you kissed a married guy and keep popping up everywhere he is!! So how dare you, bitch!!!
Lastly, I think this one was more sugar coated version, and slightly stretched, I don't think this needed 16 episodes it could be 12 and that would definitely be more than enough ~

It all comes down to one issue - Writing
Classic case of things happening because of the plot, not plot happening because of the things.It's still very addicting watch, but not in "savor every minut" but more like "being strung along" kind of way.
Even the most tolerant of viewers would have trouble to suspense their disbelief all the way through.
Feeling a bit disappointed I grabbed the book it's based on, and wow, now I'm really disappointed. It was an amazing read. I couldn't put it down.
I was thinking of picking this drama back again after I finish the book, just for the romance and battles parts, but I can't make myself watch it now.
Now everything seams wrong. Casting, scenes, lines, everything looks like the worst possible choice.
They removed part where she died and woke up in the body of a different girl. Because of that, the story in drama makes unfathomable leaps to patch itself up. I cannot understand why some of the mediocre scenes were copied 1:1 but the very powerful ones, like their meeting at the temple on the mountain, where she tries to hung herself, was change beyond recognition and personally for me didn't have any impact. And it was placed at the beginning, when I didn't even understood what it was about. Before reading the book it was confusing, now it feels like such a waste.
This sentiment applies to the entire production. Before reading the book - confusing and cringy, after reading it - well, just a waste of amazing reading material. More so with such an amazing fighting scenes in drama. I would love to see them all, if only I could bare to taint my reading experience with the rest of it.
Shame.

And this drama is a realistic example, it shows how an affair can destroy lifes and no one would win at the end, so this drama as a story is realistic and nice though I still think they glamorized affairs and you'd be fine as long as you do your homework, be a good nice wife/husband and not get caught.
I don't fully agree with the comment saying that it's hard for eastern people to divorce, well yes it's difficult but that's the only solution, affair isn't and that's what they actually did at the end, what I think is better as a solution is talking to each other, if you went to the point of marriage then you know that person or understand him, at least love him a little, there gotta be some kind of attachment to that person to marry him -if that's not the case then you can't complain about anything you are not even living anymore, just get a divorce or suck it up- that's why you should talk your problems out, fix it, go to a couple therapy or try something, try to solve it using your mind, you chose that person to continue your life with then try hard to make it work, and if it didn't work, don't go making stupid and irrational decisions, it won't help.

a bit good but mediocre drama.
if y'all like political but a bit of romance then, I suggest you this drama. the storyline was good or maybe but it's still watchable.as a feminist some parts might make you ragebaited really hard. but at some point you might the k-drama a bit boring and it's okay.(at this point that's All I have to say but this 500 characters word review is annoying the shit out of me). so overall, suggested political k-drama. love the female politicians and the tall couple lmao. (a bit of spoiler;- it has sad ending tho)Was this review helpful to you?
A marriage of Thai and Japanese people and culture
Mukai Koji is the only Japanese actor who spoke the entire Thai language in this Thai drama, where all the staff and cast were Thai. He plays a strong-willed, strict, yet kind boss with fluent Thai and the way he uses his gaze and facial expressions. He has good chemistry with his co-star, Thai actor March, and I'm looking forward to seeing how their love story will progress.Was this review helpful to you?
