Maybe you will find your answers....
I watched Blue Period first as a movie and then as an anime, and I wasn’t prepared for how deeply emotional this would feel. The manga may hold even more detail, and the anime breathes life into every brushstroke, but the movie alone carried so much heart.It didn’t just tell a story. It stirred something I thought I had buried.Plot**
The story follows Yaguchi Yatora, a well-liked high school student who gets good grades and seems to be doing everything “right.” But inside, he feels empty. He studies hard, he performs well, he fits in yet nothing feels like his. Everything shifts when he encounters the students of the school art club and is asked to paint his favorite landscape. He chooses to paint Shibuya in blue at dawn, and that one painting changes his entire life.
Through art, he discovers not just talent, but meaning.
Watching Yatora fall in love with painting felt like watching a memory of myself. The first time you truly see shadows. The first time, colours blend exactly how you imagined.
The moment a blank canvas stops being intimidating and starts becoming a possibility. It was so painfully nostalgic.
I could almost smell the oils again. Feel the stiff neck from sitting for hours. The back pain from leaning too long over a drawing board. The silence of a studio filled only with scratching pencils and heavy concentration. Unless you’ve lived it, it’s hard to explain how physical art can be, how it takes over your body as much as your mind.
This movie didn’t just show the beauty of art. It showed the obsession. The doubt. The exhaustion. The hunger to be better.
And the imposter syndrome! That thing; It hit hard.
Because there is something terrifying about loving something so much and then realising how many people are naturally better than you.
Watching Yatora work himself to the bone, not because he was born a genius but because he refused to give up, made my chest tighten. That kind of determination is inspiring… but it’s also painful to watch. You see his effort. You see his fear. You see the cracks in his confidence.
It reminded me that talent isn’t always magical. Sometimes it’s built slowly, painfully, through tears and late nights.
The feeling of finding something that suddenly makes sense. That moment when your whole life shifts direction because you discovered a passion you didn’t even know you were missing. It’s like learning a new language, and realising it’s the only language that truly sounds like you.
Then reality steps in.
Entrance exams. Competition. Financial pressure. Society constantly questioning your choices. The quiet voice in your head asking, “Are you really good enough?”
Blue Period doesn’t romanticise art. It shows how hard it is to choose something uncertain. How vulnerable it feels to care that much. How scary it is to build your future… this movie made me want to pick up my sketchbook again.
This story felt personal. Like it reached into a place I hadn’t touched in years and gently said, “You remember this. You remember how it felt.”
And I do.
I think this movie will speak to you, maybe in the same way it spoke to me, or if you didn’t grow up in art, I still think it will move you. Because at its core, it’s not just about painting. It’s about passion. It’s about that moment when something clicks inside you, and suddenly you want to try harder. To push yourself further. To take your dreams seriously instead of just admiring them from afar.
It’s the kind of manga, anime, or movie that gives you a feeling you can’t fully put into words. Not just inspiration, something deeper. Something that lingers. It doesn’t scream motivation at you. It sits quietly in your chest and makes you reflect.
Maybe it will make you pick up a brush, or maybe it will make you practice your craft more seriously, or maybe it will just remind you why you started in the first place.
But it will give you something. And sometimes, that “something” is magical.

Painful to watch and not what the poster promised
Things I liked1 The poster. I thought I'd finally watch a real rom com with mature actors and a classic premise. My illusions were shattered right away. After the first episode each episode was a cringe fest and I started hating everyone with each passing episode.
Things I hated
1 The ML actor. he's bot handsome, he looks old and he can't act. He had two expressions all over the series and even when he talked to his brother I didn't feel anything. Was it the script, the director or him? No idea. I only know that he's a terrible actor.
2 The love triangle. I dislike them in general, but here not only it was unnecessary but it ruined more than half the series. What was the point of this, amidst so many other stupid things, when the premise could give you hours of funny, intelligent, heartwarming rom com moments? I don't care with whom he ended up and honestly I don't blame the actor. The script was awful.
3 The sister in law from hell. That she was even redeemed in the end baffles me. She ruined the series with her laughable revenge plot and her unimpressive acting. She should rot in hell if you ask me. That the screenwriter thought it was smart to have daughter and mother talk about her attempt to kill like it was nothing makes me enrage. What kind of scene was it? If my mother attempted such a thing I'd feel losing my mind not talk to her like she was a person you could reason with. She attempted murder for god's sake.
4 The FL. I'm sorry to put her in the "hate" list, at first I thought I'd like her, but her character was awful. Her acting was awful and she never made me warm to her. Whether she smiled, was upset, was sad, was happy she had the same bland expression. She's old enough to have several dramas under her belt so I was expecting at least a decent performance. Inexpressive is the best I can say for her acting.
5 The lack of chemistry. I thought K dramas were great at first and that rom coms were one of the genres they excelled. After having seen quite a few I came to terms with the fact that actually they have no idea how to create a real rom com. They don't choose the right actors, there is no real kissing, no banter, and on top that they add unnecessary drama. Chinese rom coms are so much better. Cute, smart heroines, lovable green flag heroes, adorable banter and more and more decent kisses. If Koreans want to produce a series with stupid drama better not sell it as a rom com. that is what bothered me the most.
6 The mother. Awful woman, and I don't even want to waste my time listing her issues. Awful person, awful mother.
7 Everything else other than the niece and the secretary. What made me mad is the false promise of a rom com, the lack of acting talent from all the actors, the lack of chemistry and the addition of such a heavy and angsty plot that ruined the lighthearted comedy I was expecting and they promised.

Emotional depth between the leads is the highlight in this drama.
I watched this last year and decided to put in on shelf since there is no sub until i rewatch this with better subtitle.Zhao Xi Xi and Su You Cai have sparks in their interaction and the chemistry was on in this drama. It was the highlight in this drama. Su You Cai perfectly captures the "deeply affectionate and forbearing" character, with expressive eyes while Zhao Xi Xi 's initial vulnerability and later explosive power are well-done and delicate.
The most immediate feeling while watching the series is: the emotional intensity is high, and FL's transformation from forbearance to awakening feels very realistic. Watching her pick up her paintbrush again with the male lead's encouragement and dare to fight against injustice evokes a sense of "healing" resonance. However, the plot framework is indeed clichéd. "Marriage to save one's mother," "ten years of waiting," and "oppression by a wealthy family" are common tropes in short dramas. Moreover, to extend the number of episodes, a lot of melodramatic plots involving supporting characters were added. and it becomes a bit aesthetically tiring, and some conflicts even feel unnecessary.
Worth to watch, if you want to see emotional depth in the drama with cliché plot.

A light, cute, romantic and such a funny drama
Please forgive my english, it's not my first languge.Listen, this is one of the funniest series I've seen recently! To the point of laughing out loud. Let's start with the fact that Thee is sure that the world is a Thai drama (starring his mother), he's filthy rich so he has no proportions at all, every third sentence of his is a cliché and his behavior is often cringe-worthy so there's no choice but to laugh. He reminded me a bit of the character of Louis from the series "Shopaholic Louis", not because they're similar but because on paper they both sound like terrible characters but in reality they have some kind of charm/innocence/cuteness/humor that makes them great. Somehow precisely because he's so clichéd and "over the top" he manages to be cute.
Now add to that scenes that are parodies of clichés, say when Thee is worried that Peach is mad at him, so he brings him a glass of water so he can throw water in his face. Or when he kneels down and begs the heavens to take away Peach's pain, simply because he doesn't understand that an apology is possible. It's hilarious and at the same time really cute.
Oh, and let's not forget the episode where, as part of Thee's daydream, they burst into song and dance as if we were in a Disney musical. It's intentionally cringe-worthy and clichéd, and for me, that's humor at its best. Along the way, all of these things give Thee's character a special personality, and it's a genius way to turn a mafia boss into a character who isn't scary or problematic (if you ignore a few things at the beginning).
Well, after all this outpouring of love for Thee, the truth is that I really liked Peach. In stark contrast to Thee, Peach is a normal, practical, sociable guy and, in principle, he could be any average person on the street (if the average person on the street was 1.80 tall, incredibly handsome, and with a melting smile). He has a complicated past, but in everyday life he is completely normal, except perhaps for his general calmness and his ability not to get excited by Thee's grandiose sentences and gestures. He teaches Thee how to say thank you and how to apologize and brings him down to earth when he's over the top (or at least tries to, Thee like a helium balloon quickly returns to the clouds). And he does all of this with sensitivity and simplicity, without making Thee miserable, a joke, or too strange. And excuse me, but I think of Peach's smile and his eyes, they are so beautiful and kind, and he is so calm and takes life simply, he is simply a great character, I'm probably inlove Hahaha. Thee's excessive love (and money and self-confidence) allows him to take care of this man who is used to taking care of everyone else. Man, I love them.
On a personal note, it's probably the first BL drama I actully realy enjoyed and appricated , and also first Thai drama I liked in a long time.
What's not perfect about the series?
The whole mafia thing doesn't really hold water. From a lame fight scene to all sorts of "family rules" that are supposed to create conflict but are actually resolved in an instant. So, like, why did you make me think there was supposed to be a problem? I'm not sure if this is part of the parody.
Well, I have to add something about the ending, I mean what happens after the ending.
First of all, the production added an e to the caption "THE END," so it says THEE END. It's a small but cute wink, and in my eyes, it's genius in its own right. Then, salute to them, they do a kind of arsepoetics and breaking of the fourth wall, or maybe creating the fifth wall - Thee decides to produce a series about his love story, so he buys the production company (the real name of the company changes a bit, thank you again, genius writer), talks to the CEO and the director, and all sorts of actors. I recognized a few of them, so I assume these are the real actors. It's so cool, and it also shows that the entire production doesn't take itself too seriously. Salute to them.
Final conclusion: 9.5/10. A light, cute, romantic and such a funny series.

That was sweet
I fully understand why they keep pairing Wang ge with Hao Nan because they fit together like lock and key, I saw him in other dramas with other FL and I -sadly- only was able to focus on either his heavy makeup or just the plot holes.I love their interactions even if this, by all means, is not the most romantic story, the beginning is quite different from the end and that's kinda odd but it's a vertical drama so it's ok I think ~~
I ended it feeling that I've probably missed something, like what was the whole story is about anyway?
But, the good chemistry and some fun scenes covered up those weird storylines.
I think I have a new favourite pair now and I wish they would pick a better story, more romantic with proper storyline next time ~~

A Timeless Goryeo Epic That Still Haunts Me
I recently rewatched Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, and wow—I forgot how amazing this drama is! In an era of cookie-cutter romances, this 2016 gem stands out as a masterclass in storytelling, blending time travel, palace intrigue, and raw emotion. If only we could bring back this golden age of K-dramas, where every character felt alive and arcs were meticulously crafted.IU shines as Hae Soo, a modern woman hurled back to the Goryeo Dynasty. She's no damsel in distress; fiercely independent, she defends herself with wit and resilience, navigating a cutthroat world of princes fighting for the throne.
Lee Joon-gi is magnetic as the 4th Prince Wang So—our brooding male lead. He's a good person at heart, misunderstood and scarred (literally) by his past, yet his journey from outcast to a power-hungry ruler captures the tragedy of ambition. "The throne is indeed a lonely place," as the drama so poignantly shows; Wang So transforms, even turning like the person he once hated most, highlighting how power corrupts even the noblest souls.
What elevates this show are the well-written supporting characters, each with emotional arcs that hit hard. The romance is electric, laced with heartbreak, and the historical backdrop of Goryeo politics adds layers of betrayal and loyalty.
One lingering question: Why does Queen Yoo hate her own son, Wang So, so viciously? She even scarred his face as a child when the king eyed another consort. IG it ties into her ruthless ambition to secure the throne for her favoured sons and as the 4th prince is now scarred he can't become a king, I also think it can be because the mother lost her 1st son and she was hurt that the king went on to marry another political marriage while she was suffering and she is taking her anger out on the 4th prince who reminds her of this. But this is my assumption from what I've understood, I wish there was some closure on this question or a good background story arc.
Last but not the least the OSTs❤️❤️

This drama delivers exactly what it promises
I started this drama since I love lighthearted stories that help me unwind and this was exactly that! A refreshing youthful romance that later on escalates to adult life! A sweet romance that we all wish to experience. Jin hwan personally stole the show for me. He was incredible and every scene he was on was a hit! He never failed to make me laugh.But where I think the show lacks is the dynamic between the lead and the FL herself. Heon looked really younger than the Sol I, his baby face also didn't help at all, especially given the fact that he'd eventually had to play a 30yo man. The FL looked nothing like a high-schooler and her attitude could cringe anyone off. Her forced aegyo also made it pretty uncomfortable at times. I would like some more depth on the characters' backstory. For example when Heon tells his mother he wants to be a doctor, she refuses telling him to remember what happened to his father, something that the viewers never find out.
Overall, a cute effort, quite enjoyable!

this is for people, who want a slow burn romance in a retro setting
◘The historical setting genuinely enhances the story, adding depth and realism ..◘FL is ambitious, and the drama will make u interested in the university allocation system of 1970's china..
◘There is an innocence to the characterization of Muyang , specifically in the first few eps. that will make u love him more
◘So far, the drama features:
-One main lead couple
-Two side couples
-And one couple you’ll absolutely loathe
◘The male lead carries a tragic past, yet he remains an undeniable green flag.
◘The overall tone of the drama is soft and comforting.
◘ an adorable couple, basically it has all ingredients of a slow burn romance..

A GCSE Drama Project with an Unlimited Budget
If you’re coming from the strategic brilliance and high-stakes tension of The Prisoner of Beauty, prepare yourself for a massive case of tonal whiplash. I desperately wanted to like this—the lead actors are charming, and the production values are surprisingly polished—but no amount of pretty costumes can mask what is fundamentally a rotten, logic-free script.The show is a complete parody of itself, yet it lacks the self-awareness to actually be clever. We are served a relentless cycle of "misery porn" where the Emperor and Empress spend thirty episodes being passive door mats. The power dynamic is frankly ridiculous; watching an Emperor act like a helpless puppet while the Empress Dowager and Prince Duan treat the palace like their own personal playground is route-one nonsense.
The writing is strictly GCSE-level. Villains like Prince Duan don't win through tactical genius; they win through "teleportation" logic and literal plot armour. He can stroll into the inner palace for a chat whenever he fancies it, yet the moment our leads try to show an ounce of spine, they’re shackled by "filial piety" or "system" rules that only seem to apply to the heroes.
Then there is the insufferable "pandering." Watching the Female Lead "kiss the arse" of the villainous consort—a character who is a pouty, spoiled brat with a body count—is bizarre. The show tries to hide behind the meta-excuse that she’s "not a real person" to justify the FL acting like a spineless nanny. It completely kills any sense of immersion or stakes.
Even the finale is a shambles. After all the treachery and attempted murders, the wicked consorts are handed "happy endings" and travel funds like they’re off on a girls' holiday, rather than a one-way trip to the executioner. It wraps up with a forced "women’s empowerment" speech at a burial site that feels like a LinkedIn seminar dropped into a massacre.
I’ve given it 3.5 stars solely because the actors did their best with the absolute drivel they were handed. If you enjoy watching a show at 2x speed just to see the "Checkmate" (which is ultimately unsatisfying), then go ahead. Otherwise, don't let the high production values fool you—this is brainless drama at its most frustrating.

Mismatch? Perfect match.
A beautiful drama which I initially started it just for the arranged-marriage romance, but it offered so much more - especially in terms of character development.I personally liked Gu Jiusi's playful nature. He was a good character from the beginning - kind, always respectful and protective of his wife. After the tragedy, I didn’t even feel like continuing because I didn’t want him to change. In Ep 15, when Liu Yuru says, “But now, I just want you to be the same as before, to go out and play like a happy kid,” it perfectly captured what I was feeling. But after watching the whole series : On the outside, it may feel like he changed drastically, but he was always the same - just more mature and reliable.
I also liked how Yuru’s perspective changed after marriage. At first, she was quite calculative, focused only on securing a stable and happy marriage. But when Jiusi asked her what she was truly interested in, it really struck her. That question pushed her to reflect, grow, and eventually learn to build and earn through business on her own.
I felt sad for Jiusi’s mother - such a strong woman, yet after moving and losing her husband, she seemed to lose her spark. The middle became more political, and while it was fine, I enjoyed eps 1-14 the most.

Full Speed or Full Destruction
This movie was genuinely thrilling. From start to finish, it keeps you on edge. The only thing I wish it had was a little more dramatic weight during the big plot twist , I needed just a bit more action, a bit more emotional punch in that moment. If they had pushed that scene further, it would have been absolutely amazing.Plot**
The story follows the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayabusa No. 60 departing on schedule from Shin-Aomori to Tokyo, packed with passengers, including students visiting the Shinkansen factory. Everything feels routine until a chilling phone call changes everything: a bomb has been planted on the train, and if its speed drops below 100 km/h, it will explode immediately.
From that moment on, the tension never drops. The conductor and crew scramble to protect the passengers while racing against time and speed to prevent disaster.
What I really appreciated was the pacing. Because the story takes place on a high-speed train, the momentum feels constant. There’s no room to breathe and that works in the movie’s favor. It captures that classic thriller rush where your heart is racing along with the plot.
The acting was strong across the board, and another unexpected highlight for me was the technical detail. I had zero knowledge about train systems, track controls, or command operations going in. But the film explained everything so clearly and naturally that I actually learned something without feeling overwhelmed. It added realism instead of confusion, which made the stakes feel even higher.
Overall, it’s definitely a great watch if you’re in the mood for a tense, and fast-paced thriller.

The Man Who Bled Miracles
If you think you have seen every flavor of crime thriller, think again. Bloody Flower opens with a bang, or more accurately, a handcuff click. A man named Lee Woo Gyeom is arrested for kidnapping two people with disabilities. Simple enough, right? Wrong. As the investigation unfolds, it turns out he has been conducting human experiments and murdering people in the process. Seventeen victims. All with criminal records. All allegedly used as test subjects in his quest to cure incurable diseases.Lee Woo Gyeom is a medical school dropout who boldly claims he has developed a technology that can cure everything from common illnesses to cancer. The twist is deliciously dark. Patients step forward to testify that they have indeed been cured. He promises to reveal this miracle to the world, but only if he is exempted from punishment for his human experiments. If not, he threatens to take his own life, and with him, the cure that exists only in his mind. Standing at the crossroads are a desperate lawyer who needs Woo Gyeom alive to save his daughter with a brain tumor, and Prosecutor Cha Yi Yeon, who wants him sentenced to death for the seventeen lives he took. The question lingers like a stubborn echo. Is Lee Woo Gyeom a monster, or is he humanity’s forbidden savior?
What pulled me in from the very beginning was the morally grey battlefield. Seventeen murders are not a small number. But when those seventeen victims all had criminal records and slipped through the cracks of a lenient justice system, the narrative starts playing chess with your conscience. Humanism versus justice becomes the main dish, and we, the viewers, are forced to pick a side whether we like it or not. The dark allure of this premise had me glued to my seat. It felt like watching a philosophical debate disguised as a thriller.
Up until episode four, Lee Woo Gyeom remains an enigma wrapped in a lab coat. Is he a psycho doctor straight out of a horror manual? Perhaps. He does not seem to fully grasp the moral weight of taking lives, referring to his victims more as test subjects than as people. But here is the twist in my own heart. I believe he is good at heart. He does not kill for pleasure. He kills with purpose. Twisted purpose, yes, but purpose nonetheless. His journey into human experimentation did not begin with people. It started with plants, then a goldfish, then a cat, and only then humans. There is a strange, almost scientific progression there. Add to that the revelation that there is a specific pattern among his victims, and suddenly this is less random slaughter and more calculated vengeance or perhaps justice in his own warped dictionary. The mystery only deepens.
Then there is Prosecutor Cha Yi Yeon. As someone who usually champions strong female leads, I cannot believe I am saying this, but she tested my patience. For her, the world is black and white. You kill, you are wrong. End of discussion. She does not care about the lives potentially saved by Woo Gyeom’s research. She sees seventeen corpses and that is enough. I understand her need to prove herself, especially with her father looming in the background, but her inability to listen or empathize makes her feel robotic. Even her investigative arc feels oddly written. She has a whole team, yet she does most of the legwork herself while her subordinates hover in the background holding files that rarely add impact. Her sense of justice is textbook, rigid, and at times frustratingly tone deaf. Geum Sae Rok tries, but the character feels more like a plot device than a fully fleshed out person.
In contrast, Park Han Jun is the emotional anchor of the story. Portrayed by Sung Dong Il with the gravitas of a seasoned actor, he is a father first and a lawyer second. His daughter, Park Min Seo, is dying from a brain tumor. Suddenly, justice is not so simple anymore. This righteous man who once abided strictly by the law finds himself bending the rules to save his child. His partnership with Lee Woo Gyeom is one of the most compelling dynamics in the drama. They begin as reluctant allies. One is a convicted killer, the other a man of the law. Yet slowly, through shared desperation and quiet understanding, they form something resembling trust. Maybe even friendship.
When Lee Woo Gyeom rushes, injured, to save Min Seo and says he has to save her first, I was genuinely moved. For someone accused of being a heartless killer, his concern for his patients feels real. He even appears willing to defy court orders to help her. That mutual gratitude between him and Park Han Jun creates some of the drama’s most touching moments. It is a relationship built not on legality, but on humanity.
The plot thickens further when we learn that Woo Gyeom’s cure lies in his blood. Specifically, his rare RH null blood. But this miracle comes with a cruel limitation. The more blood he donates, the more his body regenerates new blood that lacks the same healing properties. In other words, he is not an infinite potion bottle in a fantasy RPG. He is human. Fragile. Exhaustible. This revelation made me nervous. If his blood is the key, what is stopping the world from turning him into a walking laboratory?
The backstory hits like a truck in the final stretch. Woo Gyeom was once just a brilliant kid with a loving mother. An accident and his rare blood type turned him into a prime target for Chaeum, the shadowy organization behind grotesque experiments. Not only was he experimented on, but his mother was silenced after discovering too much. Chaeum’s body count stands at 223 victims. Suddenly, Woo Gyeom’s seventeen does not look like madness. It looks like retaliation. Pain breeding pain. No wonder he took drastic measures. The real monster may have been hiding in a corporate lab all along.
The final confrontation reveals Chae Jeong Su as the true psychopath, obsessed with medical breakthroughs at the cost of human lives. Watching Woo Gyeom stab his eye felt both shocking and strangely satisfying. Justice, served with a sharp object. The climax escalates quickly. Police arrive. Cha Yi Yeon stands firm. Shots are fired. In one of the most touching moments, Park Han Jun steps in front of Woo Gyeom and takes a bullet for him. A former prosecutor shielding a wanted criminal. If that is not character development, I do not know what is. Woo Gyeom is eventually shot and jumps off a bridge. For a moment, it feels like tragedy has won.
The resolution wraps up corruption cases at lightning speed, almost too quickly, like the drama suddenly remembered it had a time limit. And then, the final twist. Just as Park Han Jun is about to discard the cure, Woo Gyeom calls. He is alive. I knew it. You cannot keep a Bloody Flower from blooming, can you?
Ryeo Un delivers an eerie yet magnetic performance as Lee Woo Gyeom. His large expressive eyes and deep voice make it easy to believe both the cold scientist and the wounded son. He walks a tightrope between psycho and prodigy, and somehow never falls. Sung Dong Il, as expected, brings weight and warmth to Park Han Jun, embodying a father pushed to his limits. The chemistry between these two is the heart of the drama. Their evolution from distrust to solidarity is memorable and deeply affecting.
Bloody Flower is not perfect. Some arcs feel rushed, and Cha Yi Yeon’s character may test your blood pressure. But if you enjoy stories that force you to question your moral compass, this one will keep you hooked. It asks a dangerous question. If a killer can cure the world, do you save him or condemn him? In the end, Bloody Flower does not hand you an easy answer. It simply lets the petals fall and leaves you to decide whether they are stained with blood or sacrifice.

Choosing each other again and again
I really liked this. The concept could have felt repetitive, but instead it kept me emotionally involved because I was genuinely rooting for them the whole time. I appreciated how much it focuses on effort and choosing someone over and over again, even when it’s frustrating and unfair. Some moments hit harder than I expected, especially the quieter scenes where you can really feel the longing. It’s simple, sincere, and it left me with that soft, bittersweet feeling I love.Was this review helpful to you?
I was expecting...more?
This drama wasn't bad at all, I actually enjoyed it. It's just that sometimes it felt like it was trying to be too many things at the same time and failed to excel at any of them, which makes me think that with more episodes it could have worked better. Sometimes I couldn't tell whether Kitae had it all planned out or if he was just a lucky man. In any case, the six episode format wasn't all bad because the episodes were entertaining enough and didn't feel rushed. The cast and the acting were truly incredible, with a standout performance from Woo-sung, who stole the show for me. I'll be waiting for the second season just to see how this story continues, hoping it improves a bit in the areas where it felt a bit weak.Was this review helpful to you?
How did this got such a high rating? What did I miss?
Things I liked1 The ML. He's the only one who made me care and I don't put him in the "Love" list because falling for the FL means he was an idiot at the end of the day. Nevertheless, the actor is the only one who acted without shouting and exaggerating. He is also handsome which never hurts.
Thing I disliked
1 The FL. Oh God where to start? That she didn't look at all as an athlete of weightlifting? That she shouted even when there was nothing to even raise the voice? That she only either shouted or pouted all over the series? That he character wasn't that great? Quite selfish and immature. Even the last scene was awful with her. I didn't once want her to be with the ML. I think this is the first or maybe second time this happens and I've watched dozens of K and C dramas. By the way the shouting in this drama reminded me why these day I only watch C dramas. At least rarely someone raises the voice and only when it's needed. In K dramas shouting is like mandatory. I can't believe the actress is the same of Shooting Stars or the new drama In Your Radiant Season. At least she has improved although I can't say I'm in love with her acting yet. In any case here she was terrible so I don't get at all the high rating.
2 The father. The actor was terrible and I hated every minute he was on the screen.
3 Almost everything else. The rest of the cast, the story itself, the twists and turns that were boring and convoluted.
