a masterpiece is what this is
dang well what can i say other than this is a pure gold. literally on the edge of my seat in these last few eps. love love loved the family setting and the dynamics in sales team 3. the storytelling, pacing, and acting were all so good ugh i frickin love this dramaproduction and writing are both so good too like they know how to do a cliffhanger well 😭 after ep 13, i was on my toes and regretted watching it so early loll should’ve just waited until the next day 😭 fr was crashing out
ofc yk i love a strong fl and mama (bona) is killing it (literally and figuratively). i fr was hooked after the first episode. and all the backstories were told so perfectly. i haven’t been this like edge-of-my-seat interested in (specifically a k-)drama in so long like omg this is actually so peak
i hope a season two is in talks cuz there's so many characters and backstories that are still left untold! i'm so curious about the whole team, how they all came to work there, taemin and bona's friendship, mama and seulgi, the how the final talk about bona's time in russia was to taesong, and lowkey (highkey) frickin everyone man ugh I NEED MORE the ending was pretty open to a new season tho so i have high hopes!
i do think the last ep was a tad bit rushed in the sense that the storylines were left pretty open ended but i mean if a season 2 is in the makes then i have no complaints lol
p.s. i also loved lee dong jin's character like that man loves taesong LOL like in a brotherly way ofc but like he would drop everything for taesong and i live for friendships like this ugh he's the #best

Boring and Repetive
The scenery was beautiful but this story could have been compressed as there were too many aimless scenes of ML pursuing FL and she escaping into the bathroom. While the ML does conquers his past, I found his over obsession in pleasing the FL off putting because all the FL ever did was simper. She may have inspired him to return to his craft/passion but I found little reciprocity in any grand gestures by FL. Worse 5 years later she is still the same princess while he continues to surprise her with romantic gestures. Rinse wash repeat. I also found their love scenes very awkward and mechanical. There was not one passionate kiss in 30 episodes without her turning her head and burying it into his shoulder. It is hard to believe they had sex along with a pregnancy scare. LOLL Slow burn, this did not even ignite.Finally, if it is to be a 30 episode series then the other secondary ML and FL could have been explored. Instead we are left with no resolution or understanding of their path forward if any.

Toxic BL done well 10/10
GIRL I cannot praise this series enough.The casting, to the acting, to the music, to the ending--it was everything we wanted out of a toxic BL.
The chemistry between these two was insane. I am a lover of toxic BL's, and I think they did really well. The novel is waaay more toxic, and spicy, than they translated to the series but I am glad they toned it down a bit.
There was a lot of character redemption for Jane Patrick, and tbh we all saw it coming but the execution of it was really satisfying.
With how insanely red flagy he was in the beginning I wasn't sure how they were going to end the series on a happy note. The moment everything was happy they threw in another curve ball just to keep us on our toes.
I was ROOTING for Dan and Putt so heavily and the moment that shit with Putt happened I was like WHY. However they were just preparing us for the red flag series those two will be together in and I was kinda here for it.
Anyway 10/10 series, waaay up my alley.

Sticky
Basically watched this because of Jung Hae In. Love his duality in this show - the gangster and the cutie. I will always watch his shows! Now... as for the FML, I really do not know her. She is pretty, for sure. I did not think they have chemistry. It was still a good show. I especially liked the small town vibe and all the people from that small town. I kept watching because of them ans Hae In.Was this review helpful to you?
A full redemption character arc
The series started with a very spoiled arrogant character Goto Naoya who believes that being rich can buy friends and loyalty. As the series progresses, he has fallen on hard time, disowned by his family and hitting rock bottom, he starts to pick himself up with help from his loyal servant Sato Takaaki. Naoya start to learn to be self reliant and finding a job that gave his life meaning. With help from Takaaki, Naoya start to care for others and give himself freely without expecting something in return. His love for Takaaki throughout this series was a joy to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Super good/Super bon
English:This show was genuinely so good. I loved it. There were so many moments where I literally just giggled and kicked my feet because of the scenes. Some thing I'd personally didn't like as much was just the amount of movie there was within the show. It felt like they were constantly playing their roles in that movie, and we didn't get a bunch of them outside of their role/character. Still, this show was super good. Some of the characters actually pissed me tf off (mainly the assistant to Zhang Zhun, I HATED him), but overall, I loved this show, and I would almost definitely be back at some point to rewatch this.
Français:
Cette série était vraiment super. Je l'ai adorée. Il y a eu tellement de moments où je riais littéralement et je bougeais les pieds à cause des scènes. Ce que je n'ai pas trop aimé, c'était juste la quantité de film qui était intégrée dans la série. On avait l'impression qu'ils jouaient constamment leurs rôles du film et qu'on ne voyait pas beaucoup leur personnalité en dehors de leurs rôles. Quand même, cette série était vraiment géniale. Certains personnages m'ont carrément rendu fou (surtout l'assistant de Zhang Zhun, je le DÉTESTAIS), mais dans l'ensemble, j'ai adoré cette série et je reviendrais presque sûrement à un moment pour la revoir.

Not bad!/Pas mal!
English:For a short web series like this, I wasn't expecting much, but I was happy to see that this show was quite good. Even though the episodes are really short (around 7 minutes per episode) and the series was really short (2 seasons, 8 episodes each), the pacing was still really good. I liked the storyline, the characters, and the acting. Everything was pretty well-rounded overall in this web series. I really loved the actor who played Han Gyeol. He is very attractive and is a brilliant actor. I can see him becoming very popular. There were times that I didn't really like the writing of the show, but that wasn't a huge issue, I still binged the whole series. Overall, this web series was quite good considering the fact that it's a web series and the episodes are extremely short. I don't know if I would ever come back to rewatch it, but it was definitely good for a one-time watch.
Français:
Pour une courte web-série comme celle-ci, je ne m'attendais pas à grand-chose mais j'étais content de voir que cette série était plutôt bonne. Même si les épisodes sont vraiment courts (environ 7 minutes par épisode) et que la série est vraiment courte (2 saisons, 8 épisodes chacune), le rythme était quand même très bon. J'ai aimé l'intrigue, les personnages et le jeu des acteurs. Tout était plutôt bien équilibré dans cette web-série. J'ai vraiment adoré l'acteur qui joue Han Gyeol. Il est très attirant et est un acteur brillant. Je peux le voir devenir très populaire. Il y a eu des moments où je n'ai pas vraiment aimé l'écriture de la série, mais ce n'était pas un gros problème, j'ai quand même enchaîné toute la série. Dans l'ensemble, cette web-série était plutôt bonne étant donné que c'est une web-série et que les épisodes sont extrêmement courts. Je ne sais pas si je reviendrai la revoir, mais c'était définitivement bien pour un visionnage unique.

Teenage love will never be actually cringe
And unfortunately it all came to an end, but I'm deeply happy I'm here since the beginning.I feel pretty seen as a teen, teenage love is confusing, rough, even dramatic. We're just starting our love journey, we learn through heartbreaks, break-ups, even when we mess up with our loved one. I'm far from thinking this series is cringy or "too dramatic".
I really wish we could get a second season, it looks like it's not over. I would love to see them growing up and learning more about themselves through this new relationships (or maybe this is just an excuse to see more of IndyJia).

the most gut wrenchingly beautiful show
This drama has genuinely had the biggest grip on me since I first watched it when it came out. It is probably the most I’ve ever cried over a drama. Everything about it is so painfully beautiful, from the story to every character. I hated the ambiguous ending because I wanted them to end up together, but in my mind, they did. I think it showed that love isn’t always enough to make a choice, which made it feel so real. I still talk about this drama like it just came out. I still talk about this drama like he’s just came out.Was this review helpful to you?
the best cdrama of all time
I get emotional every time I think about this show. It is honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched. it is and will forever will be my favourite show. It has such a nostalgic and pure feeling, especially in the way it shows love, friendship, and youth. The story is beautifully written, with both big and small moments that make everything feel real. I love how it shows young love being pure and sweet without making it perfect or unrealistic. There is still drama, heartbreak, and everyday problems, which makes it even more special. I’ve rewatched it over 10 times, and I still love it just as much. I genuinely don’t have enough words to explain how perfect this drama is. This show genuinely speaks to my soul.Was this review helpful to you?
Love this drama so much!!
Love the leading actor, actress & dog -Luke so much! Love the film location such as Dunhuang, Harbin & Beijing! Can we give the dog an award? Luke is so adorable! Luke listen to luan nian so well!I felt the script writer did so well with flow of the story. The director did so well! This drama is well research from its locations to the house to the car they drive.
Ep23 - at minus 10 degree & yet the leading cast did not wear hand gloves, ear muff to express each other feeling. Omg, it’s so cold!🥶

It's not a comedy
For a 10 eps drama, the story wasn't rushed and covered everything without leaving things unanswered.I randomly watched it on Kocowa+ and the genre is tagged with Comedy only so I was expecting something light hearted but it is absolutely not! It's 100% a crime & investigation drama with some found family moments.
I really liked the main cast, they're all likable characters but I definitely didn't like Miri's family esp her husband, they really don't care about Miri even when she was going through hell, same thing with Kyungja's family.
Even tho I gave it a 7.5/10 I think a S2 would be great and potentially better than this one, from what was shown in the last ep.
Again, I wish they at least get rid of Miri's husband in S2.

3 Episodes In — So Far, So Good ?
3 Episodes In — Interesting Start 👀Watched the first 3 episodes and I’m liking it so far! The opening was intense and heartbreaking, and I’m already curious to see how Lanxiang’s journey unfolds. Tan Songyun and Liu Xueyi are both doing well, and the family politics look promising. The cinematography and costumes are beautiful too. I’m especially curious about the relationships and secrets that will slowly come to light. Also… the ML’s wife 😂 I hope she surprises me this time! 🤞,........................
