Classic K-Romcom Art

Her Private Life follows Sung Duk-mi, who live a double life, a professional and talented art curator at work, and a dedicated fansite master in her private time. She eventually meets her new director, Ryan Gold, who discovers her secret.

It’s a classic romcom and full of clichés, yet it still makes my heart flutter. The series does a great job exploring the world of art curators and their daily work, as well as the vibrant and sometimes obsessive life of fangirling. This was pretty new for me to watch.

The story moves at a fast pace, which keeps it from ever feeling boring. That said, I started to dislike the plot in the last third of the series. It falls into the usual cliché trope of a childhood connection where the characters were unintentionally linked in the past but this one felt too stretched and over-the-top for my liking.

The chemistry between the leads is adorable and spot-on. Park Min-young plays her usual professional office role and she executes it perfectly. I loved her character and her stylish vibe. Kim Jae-wook also shines with some really enjoyable comedic moments.

Overall, it’s a solid, feel-good romcom that’s definitely worth watching.

a lot packed in (a bit too) short movie

Taiwan delivers one of its great works. The plot could be quite ordinary, but the film's brevity is perhaps its strength.

In a few key moments, a few glimpses of light on these instants, we see how the two main characters' paths cross and their lives become inexorably intertwined, bringing light to each other.

The casting and acting are truly at the service of the film, and it's easy to understand why 48 minutes seems too short.

...will we be lucky enough to see the series produced?

Melody of secrets — Music to the ears of a thriller x romance lover

I usually don't write reviews, but this one is SO underrated and has so much unnecessary hate that I HAD to write one

U got it right, this is indeed music to a thriller series lover's ears. I say this because there were so many plot twists after plot twists, and they all made sense. When you sit down and watch it once it's done airing, it's gonna make a lot more sense, and you'll GENUINELY love it.

Sure, maybe the series isn't for everyone, mostly because of the plot twists and all, and I've seen a lot of people say that they couldn't comprehend the plot, and sure, I will say that there were some confusing parts, but they were usually making sense over the next few episodes, SO UR DOUBTS WILL BE CLEARED.

I've also seen comments that say the director shouldn't have played an important role, but I personally think he ate his role and I think all the actors did a fine job, be it the main actors, Force and Book, the support actors Jan, Junior (ESPECIALLY JUNIOR), Boun, Ployphach, Botpleng's mom (she did SOO good to), Botpleng's grandma and Jamie. The guest roles also did really well (whom we will not name for the sake of not ruining the plot)

Everyone did SO well, and I definitely recommend this series. PLEASEEE don't sleep on this series. Give it a chance.

That being said, every drama DOES have its bad sides. I will admit that the first two episodes felt a little dragged and somewhat vague. It wasn't holding that THRILLING aspect yk, but the more the characters didn't trust each other, and the more the plot started revealing, the story got WAY way better. Most of the plot twists were so uncalled for, and it wasn't that easy to figure out what was next, so you'd be shocked every single plot twist (hopefully 🤞)

THANK YOU FOR READINGG, please give it a try 🫶

Perfect balance

A gentle, melancholic rhythm portrays the contradictions and prejudices that bind the three characters. It shows how the expectations of adults, and then of society, lead them to walk a tightrope between love, friendship, silence, and the desire to break free from these constraints.

The balance between the three characters is perfect, and the film is perfectly in tune with its time and its changes.

A must-see!

Love Me Review

I recently finished watching the 2025 K-drama Love Me. Although it was well-written, beautifully acted, and wrapped up with a relatively happy ending, it drained my energy from start to finish.
It’s a realistic slow burn — and that’s exactly the issue for me. When I choose a romance, realism isn’t what I’m signing up for. The last thing I want is something that feels painfully close to real life. This drama presents relationships as they are: complicated, messy, and emotionally taxing. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything, doesn’t glorify love, and certainly doesn’t offer magical solutions or easy fixes.
Yes, the ending aligns with the familiar “love wins” sentiment, but the journey to get there is heavy and, at times, exhausting. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and I can see it resonating more with a mature audience that appreciates grounded storytelling over idealized romance.

Just not top-shelf goods.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me be frank.

It's mid.

God knows it tried. And god knows I tried. The vibe is pretty good. Not as good as My Journey to You, but better than (pick literally any Aaron Deng drama).

But for the god-tier levels of complexity this plot has, there should be moar vibe. It starts off engaging, and then by the middle I feel like I'm getting flashbacks to Mr. Kenning's 8th grade world history class, like goddddd staring at the ceiling and waiting for the bell to ring listening to him drone on and on about Beowulf or Medieval banking or some sh*t.

Then you get a snow sequence for maybe 2 episodes, where ML gets brutally frame mogged by this guy dressed all in white who looks like Ling He in SoKP but with white hair, and a dragon egg appears. And it's like YAS finally something fun to watch. But then the dragon egg hatches, and out pops this absolute facepalm cgi dragon whelp with maxed out cringe stats that looks like it was created by the ccp entertainment division to be the cartoon mascot for the next CCTV spring festival gala. Fortunately this little cringelet gets ditched with the hot white-haired babysitter, and neither of them are ever seen again (goodbye sexy white haired snow hottie! *sobs in justwhy*). The whole thing was so random. But it's only a brief vacation, and then it's right back to plotslogging.

This is the kind of drama you normally would give to Kai Soso because of his Herculean ability to pull a heaping cart of bullsh*t across the finish line all by himself. The ML we do get is good, but he's fighting against a weak script and an existentially confused director and he just doesn't quite have the visuals or the charisma to contend with that level of adversity. ML is sexy as hell and way good at fight scenes, and this drama did not bring out his best, and it's NOT his fault.

And all the main actors' performances are occasionally marred by the bgm being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not to a criminal degree, but all I'm sayin is someone in the sound dept needed to be fired. They got this bigass bird right, I mean a HUGE bird, and when he flaps his wings in the sky, it sounds like a large silk fan. Bi@tch, that bird is enormous, the sound effects when his wings flap should be like a big deep LoTR booming noise. Or someone giving a straight and subtle performance, and here comes the whimsical music like wot.

Now I know I just bashed the drama pretty hard, but despite that I still say: "Give it a try."

That's because it will vibe with some of you. Kind of like how Lost You Forever or A Journey To Love really did it for some people. and for others it totally did not. By no means is the show bad, in an overall sense. So it can't hurt to try it out and see if it grabs your attention or puts you to sleep.

A Gripping Psychological Thriller That Never Lets Go

Wow, I was completely hooked from the very first episode to the final moment. The Price of Confession is one of those rare dramas where not a single minute feels wasted. The pacing is tight, the tension never drops, and every episode leaves you wanting more.

The two female leads are absolutely outstanding. Their performances are powerful, layered, and magnetic, carrying the entire series with emotional depth and quiet intensity. Watching their dynamic unfold is both thrilling and unsettling in the best way. Every look, every line, and every silence feels deliberate and meaningful.

This drama delivers everything a top tier psychological thriller should. Suspense that keeps you on edge, mystery that constantly shifts your assumptions, the fear of being wrongly accused, and chilling mind games that crawl under your skin. The atmosphere is dark and gripping, yet never confusing or overdone.

What truly elevates this show is how smart and confident it is. It trusts the audience, challenges your judgment, and makes you question what truth really means. By the end, it leaves a lasting impact that stays with you long after the screen fades to black.

A flawless, exhilarating watch and an easy 10 out of 10.

Must Watch

This movie absolutely made me sob, but it is so well produced and the actors do such an amazing job at getting you invested in the story. I got attached to all of these characters and I can't wait to rewatch it in the future (once I emotionally recover). The music wasn't anything too memorable, which is why I rated it 4 stars. I expected better music, especially with how much I loved this movie as a whole.

Chaos, Youth, and the Illusion of Depth

At first, My Name Is Yours opens like a dark thriller. The first few minutes set you up to expect something psychological, maybe even disturbing, a deep dive into trauma, violence, and consequence. But the movie quickly shifts direction. It’s not a thriller at all. It’s more of a coming-of-age story disguised as something darker.

Plot**
The story follows six high school students living in a small, sleepy town on the outskirts of Osaka. Each of them is quietly wrestling with loneliness, identity, and the fear of becoming nothing.
There’s Yukari, known as En, who seems to have the “perfect” life, good grades, stable image and yet hides her own secret struggles. Kotoko, her childhood friend, who skips class often, changes boyfriends constantly, and suddenly falls in love with Narihira. Narihira, however, has feelings for En.
Jun, who is angry at her father after her mother leaves home, and begins a relationship with Io. Io, a transfer student from Tokyo, moved to Osaka after his father remarried, and he’s secretly involved in a forbidden relationship with his stepmother while also seeing Jun. Then there’s Okada, admired by many girls at school, yet he only has eyes for Kotoko.
Their boring and quiet lives take a turn when a middle-aged man is murdered in a residential neighbourhood by a high school student. This shocking event hovers over them, not as a mystery to solve, but as a mirror forcing them to confront their own suppressed emotions.


The movie is based on two short stories by Momoko Fukuda: En and The Night We Listened to The Blue Hearts, Kissed, and Said Goodbye. Maybe the books offer more depth and clarity, but in film form, it felt like too many scattered pieces that never fully connected.
I went into this movie expecting it to centre on the murder, maybe a psychological exploration of who did it and why, digging into the trauma behind such an act. Instead, it becomes a portrait of six teenagers dealing with their own “problems”, loneliness, jealousy, heartbreak only to slowly realise that their lives aren’t as tragic as they imagine.

At times, the movie felt chaotic. There was a lot of information, but it didn’t always flow smoothly. The stories overlapped in ways that felt more confusing than intentional. Instead of building toward something powerful, it sometimes felt like watching six teenagers complain about their lives.

And yet… I can see what it was trying to do.

It tries to capture the fleeting, restless energy of youth, that fragile stage between adolescence and adulthood where everything feels dramatic, urgent, and unbearable. The murder becomes symbolic. It’s less about the crime itself and more about the shock that makes them realise how thin the line is between boredom and destruction. For a moment, they’re forced to confront the fact that their frustrations, if left unchecked, could spiral into something irreversible.

The final scenes, singing, shouting, and almost chanting together, feel like a rebellious celebration of youth. A desperate attempt to hold onto that chaos before adulthood arrives with real, heavier consequences.
Still, the execution didn’t fully land for me. The cinematography had it's moments, but most times it felt like a low-budget indie trying too hard to be profound. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t revolutionary either. It felt more confusing than transformative.

A Total Cinematic Feast

Good heavens—this is absolutely phenomenal!
I am still completely reeling from this drama. Every single element is hitting the mark for me. Visually, it is breathtaking; the cinematography and production design are pure eye candy. But it’s the atmosphere that really sets it apart. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an intriguing blend of comedy and high-stakes drama. The funny moments have this irresistible charm—even when they lean into slapstick, they never feel cheap—and the dramatic beats are so emotionally resonant. The way the show dances between these two polarities is seamless.
The acting? I’m honestly speechless.
Cheng Lei is, as expected, wonderful, but this role gives him a creative playground unlike anything he’s had before. He’s showing us colors we haven’t seen yet. Wang Churan is a breath of fresh air. I love her character's "vibe"—she’s deeply feminine and graceful, but she’s no "sweet idiot." She’s sharp, calculating, and sensitive all at once.
The Villain is top-tier. There’s something magnetically chilling about him; he has that rare, charismatic pull that makes a great antagonist. Tang Xiaotian in this role was a total surprise! I previously saw him in Story of Pearl Girl, where I found him a bit bland, but here? He is genuinely fantastic and full of life.
I love Cui Yi as the cross-dressing bodyguard. It’s a brilliant performance and, for a Chinese production, feels surprisingly bold and transgressive. Other second and third plan characters were also endearing, well written (without nonsensical behaviour) and very well executed.
As for the plot—I was hooked from the first episode. On the surface, it might look like a familiar trope, but the execution is fresh and unpredictable.
To top it all off, the soundtrack is fantastic, perfectly framing every scene. In short: this isn’t just a show; it’s a total feast for the senses!

The Most Frustrating Drama

This drama had everything to work and ML still managed to make it bleak and unbearable.

The female lead spends half the story sharing her inner monologue. the messy, vulnerable reality of her present life. That is not small. That is not casual. That is a gift. She literally narrates her thoughts. And yet he treats it like noise. Later, he even says she is “the hardest thing to interpret.”

He knows she has past trauma. He knows she struggles with closeness. He knows she becomes shy and awkward around him — not because she’s narcissistic or manipulative, but because she loves him. but oh yeah poor guy doesn't know thats how far emotional constipation can go he showed it.

Her pattern is clear: she tries with everything she has, then retreats out of fear of rejection — insecurity shaped by childhood wounds. Instead of recognizing that and reassuring her, he responds with confusion and something worse: hope.

He gives her hope.
She comes closer.
He hurts her with his words.
Then he gives hope again.
Then withdraws again.

That cycle is the most frustrating part of the entire drama. Not just rejection — but the repeated granting and snatching away of emotional safety for no clear reason other than his own inability to handle what’s in front of him.

What makes it worse is that he only seems to understand her when things are already collapsing — when it was clear long before. the main lead’s biggest flaw: emotional incompetence, with moments of quiet cruelty.

The female lead carries the story with raw honesty. The male lead calls her difficult to interpret when the truth is simpler:

She was transparent.
He was unable to see.

Not overrated just understood Differently ツ♡

I don’t know why so many people hate Lovely Runner in the reviews. For me, this drama felt like a comfort show — my little guilty pleasure. It may not have had the most complex or groundbreaking plot compared to other stories, but its adorable and heartfelt moments are so good.
The chemistry between the leads is the strongest part of the show. Their sweet interactions, emotional scenes, and small, meaningful gestures made every episode enjoyable to watch (for me). Even if the storyline mainly revolved around the main couple, it didn't matter to me. Their relationship was cute, adorable and engaging enough to keep me invested.
Sometimes, not every show needs to be intense or overly complicated. Lovely Runner felt warm, nostalgic, and easy to watch — the kind of drama you look forward to at the end of the day. Different people have different tastes, but for me, it had everything I wanted: comfort, romance, and plenty of heart-fluttering moments.

OUR UNIVERSE?????? MORE LIKE HYUNJIN'S UNIVERSE WITH SUNBAE!!!!

Never seen a show with so much potential being ruined this way. This show had everything, a good story,some good actors,emotional background.... And the most important one,Woojoo. This cute little munchkin was the most interesting part of the show,we all wanted to see his story. After his parents died, both his paternal uncle and maternal aunt had to take this two years olds responsibility. This could be such an adorable emotional journey of two broken adults suddenly becoming parents,coming closer and healing together through Woojoo,learning about parenting and eventually falling in love.

But what we got????? Woojoo being completely sidelined,his uncle Taehyung being the single dad who despite being the most distant one having no emotional connection with the baby,took his responsibility and practically living the life of a single dad. Meanwhile,his aunt, his actual legal guardian,who actually knew woojoo from before, almost abandoned them,always stays outside with her old crush,knows nothing about woojoo. Girl is so indecisive, she gives sparkly eyes to both the male leads and can never decide who should she be with. She never picks up phone whenever its from Taehyung when she is the legal guardian of a two years old. But when its a call from her crush??? Imagine what happens??? Yesssssss she recieves immediately. At this point she knows nothing about Woojoo and Taehyung knows, at least trying to know everything.

Idk how are they going to make this blunder work. Woojoo is the main focus of the show but we don’t even get to see him properly. All we see is female lead working with her crush,her crush driving her home,her going on a date with her crush and our og male lead just waiting for her and being miserable . And even the second ml is weired, imagine your boss overworking you till its late at night cause he likes you knowing you have a baby at home!! The female lead is so poorly written,that its just purely frustrating. Its 2026, you can't write a female lead so weak,so immature so indecisive when your goal is to make her a mother eventually. She is not even ready to be a partner,let alone a parent. Idk what the ml saw in her that he fell in love with her,girly wasnt even thankful that Taehyung stepped up and made her life easy by taking care of woojoo.


At this point,I can't even see ml and fl as a couple. It would be the best if Taehyung moves out of the apartment with Woojoo and later find someone that actually loves him and suitable for Woojoo. And Hyunjin can go with her boss or anywhere else, i don't care. These two has no connection left,they have nothing common. Nothing can save the story now. These writers should never write ever again!

Love in the Moonlight with a lot of tears

I’m glad the series got a high rating because it deserves it, to an extent. I only checked this out because I loved Peak’s performance in My Only 12% and was so excited to discover that he’s the lead of his own BL! Boy can act; actually, the whole cast didn’t disappoint in that domain. I’ll start with what I liked about the series, then why I wouldn’t rewatch it.

Pros:
- Eye candies EVERYWHERE. The men are handsome. The women are beautiful. The gays are gays!
- Very bingeable: If I weren’t so tired from a long day of work, I would have finished the series in a day, not two. The series is easy on the eyes and easy to follow (for the most part).
- The music is AMAZING. They mostly utilize two songs, but the two songs never got annoying or old. Actor Act also has one hell of a voice!
- I didn’t expect comedy gold when I walked into this series, but they were random but brilliant; they weren’t excessive, but smartly sprinkled throughout the series. They caught me off guard, and I spat out my coffee multiple times, yet I enjoyed every bit of it. Not so much the spitting and cleaning, but the funny moments were great!
- The characters and power dynamics. This series recognized that both men and women can be powerful figures in different ways, and no one character is completely useless. A lot of the women in the series were respected and fair opponents for the men. Saenkaew and Songsawat’s relationship, for one, was refreshing.
- Perth Veerinsara, the actress who played Pin, did a PHENOMENAL job. Not only did the actress play her part, but the character, Pin, was also both endearing and beautiful. Pin is a mature and sweet girl who doesn’t rely on her cuteness or prettiness to have things her way. And when everyone is against her, she understands and acknowledges that she had to be the one in the wrong, because why else would everyone, who’s also smart and intelligent, not take her side? Pin had the best growth.
- Good or bad guys, I enjoyed every one of them. I’m team Prince Kamfa and Khamsu. Kamfa, Saenkraew’s father, is a badass. I applaud him for sticking to his guns and making sure things work out the way he planned despite sabotage. Kamfa might be a villain to some, but he’s always put his people first, and I respect that. Although he knew what true love looked like, he tried to change his son because he believed all homos go to hell, and for that, I can’t fault him. Khamsu, too, had great qualities. He was very loyal to Kamfa and tried his best to keep the peace between the father-son duo when he could.
- Unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed Prince Inthra, Saenkaew’s uncle, a lot. The guy might be a coward, greedy, gambler, and a traitor to his family, but he was hilarious and a good husband to his wife. Hence, why her avenging him was even more satisfying.
- The villains kept me on my toes. Every time they found out something, true or not, it's always interesting to see what they do with those informations.
- The chemistry all around was great. The actors and actresses really embodied their characters.

Cons:
- Timing. The storyline’s timeline was a mess, though evidently, it spans within two years. The series starts in 1963. In the beginning, we learn that the people of Chansaeng had six months before it was lost to the Republic of Nanta. However, since Nanta’s hardass General Kalong is keen on murdering Royalties, repossessing their properties, and redistributing them to the nation, princes had to band together to protect their wealth, so Saenkaew and Pin’s fathers arranged a marriage for them to later on transfer Saenkaew’s family assets safely and legally from Pin back to Saenkaew’s family. In return, the dowry will be more than what Pin’s father and stepmother owe to creditors. While spending some time in Bangkok, Saenkaew said that in the next six months, Chansaeng will be lost, so it’s unclear how long he’s been in Bangkok, although it seemed at least a month had passed. After his father finished selling their properties and items, he joined Saenkaew and the others in Bangkok and moved the marriage to an earlier date. After the wedding, when they were in Chiang Mai, we see that it’s been six months because Chansaeng had been handed over to Nanta. Shortly after six months, Saenkaew runs away with Sasin, and we’re given a one-year leap. However, it didn’t feel like one year had passed because in the letter Saenkaew wrote to Pin, he expressed being sad about the news of her father’s passing; however, her father would have already passed before the one year passed, so why bother mentioning that? Especially after witnessing her money-hungry father say she was worthless to him. At certain points, it seemed like one episode was 1-2 days, so it was very slow-burning.
- There were audio issues now and then and choppy cuts. For the music, they either start or end abruptly. It’s like no one’s ever heard of ‘fade in’ ‘fade out’...
- I want to root for Saenkaew and Sasin’s love, but I couldn’t because they were way too selfish with it. Because they’re the main characters, we and the supporting characters have to prioritize their happiness; however, I can’t root for a cousin stealing another cousin’s fiancé. Especially when Sasin was always extremely upset on Pin’s behalf regarding Saenkaew and Songsawat. Sasin went from being Pin’s protective older cousin to dismissing her feelings, needs, and existence with one switch of hearing the truth from Saenkaew. Pin expressed to Sasin over and over again that she loved Saenkaew, but the moment Saenkaew said he didn’t want to marry Pin, Sasin jumped ship and was more than ready to make sure they didn’t get married, including stealing Saenkaew from Pin.
- No one sided with Pin except the parents, who wanted something else. I thought Sanya would have her back, but he immediately backed Sasin and even said Sasin didn’t do anything wrong. Did he have a crush on Pin or Sasin? I thought at least one person would side with Pin, but no, instead, Sasin constantly threw it in her face that Saenkaew loves him and him Saenkaew. If my cousin ever came between my relationship, even if I have no feelings for my fiancé, I’d rather she not until we’ve got things situated. But alas, Pin is forced to be the bad guy, the bigger person who has to accept her cousin and fiancé. I’m even more mad that Grandma Sridara easily accepted their relationship and didn’t see that it was infidelity or adultery since Saenkaew and Pin are legally married.
- Sasin is charismatic, but his continuous misunderstanding of Saenkaew was irritating. There was no evidence of Saenkaew ‘breaking’ into his place to ‘steal’, so labelling Saenkaew a thief on multiple occasions was annoying. Sasin was a headstrong guy willing to do anything, but took a hard backseat the second he couldn’t be around Saenkaew. He and Saenkaew running away was a common theme. I don’t know why they didn’t just try to solve their problems instead of always running away from and with them.
- Saenkaew. Either. Cries. Or. Is. Teary. Eyed. In. Every. Scene.
- Why in the altercation with Pin’s dad did the trio not seize his gun??? Sasin comes in, hits the gun out of Prince Bodin’s hand, then goes straight to Saenkaew. When they disarmed him again, they didn’t think to grab the gun and decided to make a run for it. If Duangkamol didn’t stab Prince Bodin, he would have easily shot one of them. Saenkaew and Sasin prove again that they don’t care for Pin when they know her crazy dad was after them, but jumped on the train without caring about her safety.
- Who was the first guy who wrote Saenkaew a love letter?
- What happened to the uncle’s spy? The family never tried to solve that mystery.
- Except for Inthra’s wife, did anyone else care that a prince was murdered in cold blood and mysteriously disappeared? What happened to Inthra’s body? Did Bodin come back to take and hide it? Did Duangkamol wander the streets looking for her husband because she didn’t know what happened to her husband’s body?
- Uh what happened to hardcore Gen. Kalong? He started acting like a wounded puppy in front of Kamfa towards the end. I mean, Kamfa is a savage, but come on!
- Did Saenkaew and Pin ever get a divorce? Who’s running the timber business if not Saenkaew and Pin?
- I wish we saw Saenkaew be more hands-on with others, especially as a prince and businessman. He was always all about his happiness and romance that I started to wonder if he had any other thoughts or ambitions.
- The ending. Everyone who wouldn’t have accepted their relationship was killed off, and those who lived were forced to accept their relationship, but I don’t believe Saenkaew and Sasin’s love deserved a happy ending just yet. Something is missing, and it’s not lust.

All in all, I wouldn’t rewatch the whole series again, but I do recommend everyone watch it.

Spring of Youth have one episode that is the coolest!

I had started watching on February 19-February 27. I was watching episodes 1-2 on Rakuten Viki and the rest of the episodes on kisskh website.
Kim Bom lives with her aunt, Kim Ja-Yeong, and cousin, Bae Gyu-ri, after her mom, Yu Jeong-Ae, passed away. Sa-Gye was once a former K-pop idol. When Sa-Gye met Kim Bom, he ask her about the melody, but they were interrupt by Seo Tae-Yang. Sa- Gye didn't get the answer. He became an unexpected tenant. Sa-Gye fell in love with Kim Bom. Sa-Gye was going through a traumatic eye injury while he was getting flashbacks, and he was drinking alcohol. Sa-Gye didn't contact Kim Bom after 2 years because he said that he couldn't make her life miserable. Sa-Gye promises Kim Bom that no matter where she is, he will come and find her.
I like how Seo Tae-Yang and Sa-Gye have a battle against each other in episode 1. That's one of the coolest one episode! It's cute that Sa-Gye says that Kim Bom didn't push him away because she likes him too. I like that Sa-Gye went on a date, held Kim Bom's hand, and had their first kiss together in episode 4. I like how Sa-Gye put his headphone on Kim Bom's ears to listen to his cover in episode 6. I also like it when Sa-Gye wipes Kim Bom's tears away for her. It's funny when Gyu-ri sees Sa-Gye in a long time. I like how Sa-Gye cover see you later in episode 7. It was funny that Gyu-ri threw a tantrum towards Sa-Gye in episode 7. I like it when Sa-Gye cheers up with Kim Bom by playing on the piano keyboard with her in episode 9. I like how Sa-Gye meets Kim Bom again after 2 years in episode 10.
I didn't like that Jo Ji-Na of Jo & Jo Entertainment will have a contract about all the songs Kim Bom wrote belong to them in episode 1. That sounds unfair! I didn't like how Ji-Na is copying Kim Bom's music, and she didn't write it in episode 4. I didn't like Ji-Na's interview in episode 6. I didn't like that Ji-Na was gaslighting and manipulated while talking with Kim Bom. I didn't like Seo Tae-Yang taking Sa-Gye's place to replace him as the leader of the crown group. I didn't like Seung-Su breaking into Kim Bom's house and stealing the money he gave to Sa-Gye in episode 8.
I am shocked that Ha Yoo Joon is part of a K-pop group named AxMxP. See You Later is by them. The song is pretty good!
