Slow...

The last episode made me think it was the girls who adopted Jin So Baek tbh lmao

This show was intense, the violence graphic, and thus sometimes really hard to watch. !! TW for (domestic) violence, marital rape !!

Although the show only has 8 episodes, I truly believe that it should not have been any longer because the pacing was incredibly slow. The episode length wasn't even anything outrageous (50-60 minutes), but it felt much longer than it actually was at times. To me, the most compelling performances were given by Lee You Mi and Jang Seung Jo; especially Jang acted his dual role convincingly, he played two kinds of abusive assholes so differently and yet so well, he was genuinely scary. Lee You Mi was also really good in her role, her performance felt very immersive. Jeon So Nee wasn't as bad as some people say, but I didn't find her that captivating as Eun Su; likewise, Jin So Baek as a character felt a little unexplored, which is a bummer because Lee Moo Saeng was intriguing enough as the character. I quite liked the ending because the bad guys got what they deserved, and the girls found happiness. The show ends on a positive and hopeful note, which I appreciate, so I won't care about any plot inconsistencies.

2 episodes that left me with questions

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

It was kind of like reading a book, skipping the middle, and then have the ending make no sense. The FL spent a lot of time screaming, and you didn't really get to see her working through her grief.

The ML was cute, but they didn't know each other? I got the idea of trying to pull her out of her grief, but had he escaped from the hospital, since he wore hospital clothes almost throughout. Brief mention of him being in the hospital for testing and treatment, but no specifics.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I thought their bucket list items were really stupid. And why all of a sudden does he want to help her.

My biggest question though...the three of them were together at the end of the show. How did that work?!?!?

Better Than I Expected

Truthfully, I came because of the comments talking about the main leads and yes, their banter and dynamic is wonderful. Their chemistry and interactions with each other is so nice and natural, something I wish I came across more in dramas. Personally, kind of felt like a delinquent couple to me😂but the story holds up pretty well too. It had me quickly attached to a lot of characters who weren't even on screen for a long time. This was a great drama to start the new year with.
I hope to see the starring leads in more dramas, they did a really great job. Also, the actor that played Gan. One of my favourites

Game Therapy

This is an emotionally draining series that is so exacerbating in the way it was presented. It had such deeply poignant undertones to its characters – all of them. Yet, proceeded to present them so superficially and without any serious profundity to them. If you are going to present distressingly flawed individuals, you need to present them in such a way that we can feel their pain with more solemnity and intensely. Not just seeing it in snippets or revealed in discourses. That was not the only flaw in the story which began so enticingly but ended up being just another trite-filled half-empty pseudo-psychological case study filled with people who, I do not think, honestly, exist. At least not in real life. What is so bothersome about Japanese BLs as of late is that they play everything too safe. The story, the screenplay, the acting, the plot, and worst of all the lovemaking. This is a story full of intrinsic pain treated with superficiality and in glossy terms. They present individuals in highly idealized fashion that simply do not exist or as adolescent caricatures. Introducing change in an entrenched culture is difficult and the subtle hints about gay marriage in this series were not lost and are deeply appreciated. Art in all its forms, including BLs, is the perfect vehicle to introduce change to an audience that would be more receptive to it. Be bolder and take bolder steps to be more real in presenting gay life. Reflect the real world for a change.

May be a minority

Definitely prefers the novel and audio drama way over live action. I really like the story plot of Hidden Love. Hence, a little disappointed on the live adaptation.

Not sure why, but I feel the drama does not give off the same feelings and emotions as compared to other adaptations. May be a little too kiddish to watch. Definitely not easy on ZLS to act out different stages of life for Sang Zhi in the drama.

IMO, no hates on the actor, but I do not favor as much how Sang Yan's role is being acted out in this drama. Too much of a character change?

Regardless, if you like the plot, please read the novel / listen to audio drama.

" Some Feelings are bound to disappear and some Feelings are destined to be Long lasting. "

Hello 👋 Everyone. This is my first review, so first of all thank you for reading this. Shine On Me ✚ was a cute, fluffy and slow burn drama which I liked so much. Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai did their best in portraying Lin Yusen and Nie Xiguang 🎉. Personally I liked Nie Xiguang's positivity and her charmness. I also liked the warmth and gentleness of Lin Yusen.

Lin Yusen and Nie Xiguang :

They are the light of this drama which kept the drama engaging throughout. Lin Yusen was a top tier neurosurgeon who was unfortunate to mess up with his hands in a accident which kept him away from medicine for two years. He had that accident on the way to meet Xiguang ( it is a misinformation ). Due to this there was a misunderstanding between them for few eps then resolved later. His love was really pure ❀ which was shown when he chose Nie Xiguang again eventhough he thought that she left him after his accident ( misunderstanding ). And of course, I have to tell for the viewers that he won't have much screentime at the first few eps due to FL's college story but after that we get to see him throughout the drama â˜ș.

Nie Xiguang was a Business school student who had a crush on Zhuang Xu, a top student and was the tutor to her cousin. She eventually confessed and turned down but she didn't wanted to give up on him. Later due to a misunderstanding she moved on from him and met our ML. After graduation, she joined Shuangyuan Photovoltaic where she met Lin Yusen and gradually they fell in love. I have to tell that the period where Lin Yusen pursued Xiguang was especially sweet. I loved it.

Guangyu Photovoltaic Co. Ltd ( formerly known as Shuangyuan ):

This is a firm based on the production and distribution of solar panels. This part was so informative about the solar industry such as BAPV [ Building attached Photovoltaic ] and BIPV [ Building Integrated Photovoltaic ]. I really appreciate that they kept this drama realistic with the timeline when solar industry bloomed in China.
After meeting NXG, LYS realized his dreams of the medical field and moved towards it while NXG directed Guangyu towards development. Their personal growth in their fields was really worth watching.

Lin Yusen's Family :

Lin Yusen's mother was a nice character who was supportive with his decisions and his step father who gave space for him and his mother. I actually felt sad for LYS when I heard his father has passed away.

Nie Xiguang's Family :

First of all, when I hear the word NXG's family the first character comes to my mind is Jiang Rui ( Nie Xiguang's cousin ). I liked him very much. He was really supportive and protective of her as a brother. His mother portrayed a wonderful women entrepreneur in the business world and the ultimate shipper of our couple. Absolutely, I am obliged to tell about NXG's mother Jiang Yun who was a second favourite character in her family. After getting divorce from NXG's father Nie Chengyuan, she spent her life carefree but later her realization on the influence of others comments were wonderful. Especially, she was also supportive to our couple. Her bother and Jiang Rui's father was also a nice character. The only character what I disliked in the whole drama was NXG's father for his foolishness to go to the con artist friend ( Qian Fangping ). And the scene where she spoke heartbroken to her father for doubting her without second thought made me cry 😱.

OSTs :

The OSTs of this drama was beautiful 💕. My favourite ones were :
1. You Are The Sun In My Life - Lu Yuanyi
2. Coming For You - Zhang Hao

Conclusion :

This drama was a great drama for me. The only thing I disliked was the abrupt cuts from one scene to another. Overall this drama is a 10/10 for me đŸ€—. I want to conclude with one of my favourite lines in the drama :
" No, It’s not about choosing. I would always end up with him. "

I want to describe the drama as :
" The Delightful Journey of Sunlight ( Nie Xiguang ) and Forest ( Lin Yusen ). "

Once again Thank you for reading this review 💖.

Late to the CLOY party, but in Awe!

Crash Landing on You is only my eighth K-drama, and I was not prepared for how deeply it would affect me. I watched it in one go, cried through most of it, and when it ended, it stayed with me. I am now on my second rewatch and already know a third one is coming. Honestly, it has ruined other dramas for me for now. This is not a series you simply finish and move on from.

Here is my honest review, even though I'm late to the party.

What makes this drama so powerful is not just the premise, but the execution. The writing trusts silence. Again and again, the most important moments between Ri Jeong-hyeok and Yoon Se-ri are carried by pauses, by looks, by what is not said. The stillness between them is never empty. It is heavy with feeling, restraint, fear, and love. That choice alone elevates this series far above many others.

What becomes especially clear on a rewatch is how carefully this story is constructed. The creators pay close attention to detail, planting moments early on that quietly gain meaning later. There are visual and emotional echoes throughout the series that only fully land the second or third time you watch. It creates that rare feeling where you suddenly understand why a moment mattered, why a line was delivered a certain way, or why a scene felt heavier than it seemed at first. This is a series that genuinely rewards attention.

At the same time, the show knows exactly when to let you breathe. The humor is smart and well timed. It is never forced, never childish, and never breaks the emotional flow. The comedy grows naturally out of character and situation. You laugh not because something is exaggerated, but because the writing is sharp and the timing is right.

Casting is a major reason why this series works as well as it does. The characters are well written, but they only resonate because the actors clearly understand what the story asks of them. The creators have described Crash Landing on You as a pure romance, and that choice is reflected in the restrained performances. The distance between the leads is physical, not emotional. Their feelings are fully visible, but touch is held back on purpose. Behind-the-scenes footage only reinforces this, showing how strong the chemistry actually was. On screen, the actors rely on silence, timing, and eye contact rather than physical closeness, which gives the romance its depth and emotional weight.

The supporting characters are just as strong and never feel like filler. Seo Dan and her storyline add real emotional weight and contrast to the main couple. Her arc deepens the themes of duty, longing, and loss without pulling focus away. Family members, authority figures, and rivals are written as people, not just plot devices. Sometimes they are frustrating, sometimes unexpectedly kind, but always believable. That makes the world around the main couple feel real, not staged.
Then there is the community around them. The ducklings are genuinely funny and warm, not slapstick or forced. They become a chosen family, adding heart and humor in a very natural way. The village women and everyday moments bring grounding and texture to the story. Love in this series is not only romantic. It shows up in care, protection, shared food, teasing, and loyalty. That sense of community is a big part of why the emotional moments hit as hard as they do.

All of this builds toward moments like the ring scene, for example. That scene works precisely because of everything that comes before it. It is quiet, intimate, and understated, yet emotionally overwhelming. There is no big speech or dramatic declaration. Just thoughtfulness, mutual recognition, and a shared moment that says everything without spelling anything out. It stayed with me long after watching because it captures the heart of their relationship.
The only critical points I have are that I would have liked to see slightly more intimacy, not sex or explicit scenes but more physical closeness through touch, hugs, and presence, and that I missed more acknowledgement of Ri Jeong-hyeok from Se-ri’s world, where he is introduced as a bodyguard despite clearly being far more, and where subtle recognition would have added emotional closure.

Even though the series ended a few years back, the community around Crash Landing on You is still active. People continue to discuss details, scenes, and emotions because the series resonates on a shared level. If you love this drama, you tend to recognize that love in others without much explanation.

Of course, there are small flaws, and you notice them more the more you rewatch. Normally, I am very critical of those things. But with this series, I accepted them without resistance. That alone says everything. I fell completely in love with the cast, the setting, the story, the music, and the emotional world it created.

Crash Landing on You is not just a drama. It is an experience. It shows how powerful love can be, how deeply people can change each other, and why connection matters so much in this world. For me, this is a solid 10 out of 10.

A Fantasy Romance That Leaves a Heavy Aftertaste

**Drama Review: *Dear Mr. Heavenly Fox***

*Dear Mr. Heavenly Fox* is a light fantasy romance that blends Xiaoxia elements with a youthful, approachable tone. While the drama presents itself as sweet and comedic on the surface, its emotional core is far more tragic than it initially appears.

A major weakness of the narrative lies in the female lead’s character arc. Her repeated poor decisions are the direct cause of multiple deaths throughout the story, including the ultimate sacrifice of the male lead. Rather than being driven by unavoidable fate, many of these tragedies stem from her impulsiveness and lack of accountability. This significantly undermines audience sympathy and leaves a lingering sense of frustration, as the consequences borne by others—especially the male lead—are disproportionately severe.

In contrast, the male lead is the emotional anchor of the drama. His inherent goodness, moral integrity, and selflessness make him deeply endearing and quietly enchanting. He consistently chooses compassion, protection, and restraint, even when doing so leads to his own suffering. It is precisely this unwavering goodness that makes his fate especially heartbreaking and elevates his character far above the rest. His presence gives the drama its emotional weight and is the primary reason the story resonates at all.

The chemistry between the leads is present, but it is ultimately unbalanced due to the disparity in emotional maturity and responsibility. While the female lead’s liveliness adds energy to the early episodes, it is the male lead’s calm devotion and inner strength that leave a lasting impression.

Production-wise, the drama remains modest. Visual effects and costumes are simple but serviceable, and the pacing is generally smooth. The soundtrack supports the emotional tone without overpowering the scenes.

Overall, *Dear Mr. Heavenly Fox* is a drama with a gentle exterior but a troubling core. Viewers who value kind, principled male leads may find the Heavenly Fox unforgettable, but those sensitive to avoidable tragedy may find the female lead’s role in the deaths—especially that of the male lead—difficult to forgive.

===================================================


**Final Episodes & Ending Summary (Ep. 30):**

**1. Misunderstandings and Tragedy**
By the finale, the female lead (Qi Yuanbao) has been manipulated by a powerful evil spirit/demon. This spirit eventually causes her to unintentionally harm and kill multiple characters, including a close secondary male character and her own father’s spirit puppet. Her father—knowing her situation—absorbs the evil spirit into his own body and then asks the Heavenly Fox (Changyue) to kill him to destroy it. Changyue agrees on the condition that Yuanbao never learns the painful truth, because it would destroy her emotionally. Yuanbao, however, witnesses the act and believes Changyue *deliberately* killed her father and others.

**2. The Male Lead’s Sacrifice**
Believing she can never forgive him and overwhelmed by guilt and heartbreak, Changyue makes a dramatic decision: he tries to die in front of her so that she can “get revenge” or release her pain. Before dying, he leaves behind a *memory token* (usually a significant object linked to their past). When Yuanbao eventually discovers the true reason behind the deaths from that item—how her father sacrificed himself to protect her and how Changyue followed through on his promise—she realizes the painful truth too late.

**3. Yuanbao’s Despair and Changyue’s Return**
Heartbroken by all the truth and guilt over what she unintentionally caused, Yuanbao tries to end her life by jumping off a cliff. At that moment, Changyue’s *spirit* (or the remnants of his soul orb, depending on interpretation) saves her, pulling her back from death. Shortly afterward, it is implied that Changyue is somehow reborn or returns in some form—his spirit pearl appears and takes flight, and Yuanbao hears his call. The finale shows her smiling at that voice, suggesting hope for reunion or reincarnation rather than a peaceful life together in their original forms.

=====================================================


### 1. What REALLY caused all the deaths

* The **female lead (Qi Yuanbao)** was unknowingly manipulated by the evil spirit.
* While not acting with malicious intent, **her actions directly triggered the chain of deaths**, including innocent characters and ultimately her own father.
* Her father **voluntarily absorbed the evil spirit** to stop further destruction.
* He then **asked Changyue (ML) to kill him**, because that was the only way to destroy the spirit completely and save Yuanbao.

Key point:
👉 The tragedy was **avoidable**, but it happened because the truth was concealed “to protect her.”

### 2. Why the misunderstanding was never cleared

* Changyue agreed to the father’s request **not to tell Yuanbao the truth**, believing guilt would destroy her.
* Yuanbao **witnessed the killing without context** and concluded that Changyue had betrayed her.
* No one corrected this misunderstanding in time.

This is the emotional breaking point of the drama.


### 3. The male lead’s final choice

* Changyue **accepts being hated**, blamed, and rejected.
* He chooses to **sacrifice himself emotionally and spiritually**, believing Yuanbao needs closure more than he needs to live.
* His decision is driven entirely by:

* Responsibility
* Love
* Moral integrity

This is why viewers find him so **endearing and enchanting**—his goodness is consistent, quiet, and never self-serving.


### 4. When the truth is finally revealed

* Yuanbao later learns the full truth through the **memory object / spiritual remnant** Changyue left behind.
* She realizes:

* Her father chose death willingly
* Changyue carried out the act to save her
* **Her own actions were the root cause of everything**

By the time she understands, **it is too late to undo the damage**.


### 5. The final scenes — is Changyue really back?

This is where interpretations differ.

What is **explicitly shown**:

* Changyue’s **spiritual essence** appears.
* He **saves Yuanbao at her lowest moment**.
* She hears his voice and reacts with recognition and hope.

What is **NOT shown**:

* No full physical resurrection
* No clear reunion scene
* No shared mortal life afterward


### 6. So
 is it a happy ending?

**Strictly speaking: No.**

It is a **“hope-implied ending”**, not a resolved one.

* Changyue’s **existence continues in some form** (spirit / rebirth implication).
* The drama **suggests** future reunion but refuses to show it.
* Emotional closure is partial, not complete.

For viewers who prefer **clear happy endings**, this ending feels **unsatisfying and unfair**, especially given:

* The ML’s unwavering goodness
* The avoidable nature of the tragedy
* The lack of accountability resolution for the FL


## Bottom line (very important)

* Changyue is one of those rare MLs whose **virtue is his defining trait**, not a plot device.
* The FL **caused the tragedy**, even if unintentionally.
* The ending rewards **moral purity with ambiguity**, not happiness.

This is why many viewers remember the Heavenly Fox fondly—but leave the drama feeling heavy.

A Beautiful, Empowering Journey


I started watching A Dream of Splendor with zero expectations and somehow ended up finishing it in just two days. This drama quietly pulls you in and refuses to let go. From its storytelling to its characters, visuals, and emotional depth, it delivers a rare balance of elegance, realism, and heart.

🌾 Story & Themes

At its core, A Dream of Splendor is a story about three women who refuse to accept the fate society assigns them. Zhao Pan’er, Sun San Niang, and Song Yin Zhang each come from difficult pasts and low social standing, yet they dare to dream of independence, dignity, and success. Their journey to the capital is not just physical, but emotional and symbolic—a fight against class prejudice, gender restrictions, and personal trauma.

The drama explores women’s empowerment, social hierarchy, human rights, and self-worth, but it does so without becoming overly heavy. Humor, warmth, romance, and suspense are woven in beautifully, making the narrative engaging rather than exhausting.

đŸ’Œ Business & Growth Arc

One of the most satisfying aspects of this drama is the business storyline. Watching the women build their teahouse from scratch is incredibly rewarding. Zhao Pan’er’s sharp business sense, San Niang’s culinary skills, and Yin Zhang’s artistic talent complement each other perfectly.

Their struggles with customers, competitors, officials, and societal bias feel realistic and grounded. Success is never handed to them it’s earned through strategy, resilience, and teamwork. The business side is not just a backdrop; it actively shapes their character growth and independence.

💕 Romance & Relationships

The romance between Zhao Pan’er and Gu Qian Fan is refreshingly mature. Their relationship is filled with longing, misunderstandings, restraint, and quiet devotion. The misunderstandings between them can be frustrating, but they come from fear, duty, and past trauma rather than petty reasons.

Gu Qian Fan may appear cold and distant, but he never truly stops protecting Pan’er. Pan’er, in turn, remains patient because of the depth of her love. Their chemistry feels natural especially the physical closeness. Their hugs, kisses, and moments together feel sincere and lived-in, setting a high standard for how couples should be portrayed on screen.

Chi Pan serves as a gentle, almost bittersweet presence more a bridge in Pan’er’s emotional journey than a true rival which adds emotional depth without unnecessary drama.

đŸ‘©â€đŸŠ° Female Characters Done Right

This drama truly shines in its portrayal of women. Pan’er is neither a flawless nor a helpless damsel. She is smart, ambitious, emotionally vulnerable, and deeply human.

San Niang and Yin Zhang are not sidelined for the sake of the main romance. They make mistakes, suffer consequences, grow, and mature. Their bond feels genuine—full of support, disagreements, and unconditional loyalty. The scene where Yin Zhang finally stands up for herself is incredibly uplifting.

🎭 Acting & Casting

The acting across the board is outstanding. It’s refreshing to see age-appropriate casting, where actors actually look and feel right for their roles.

Liu Yifei brings grace and subtlety to Zhao Pan’er, especially in emotional scenes and quiet moments.

Chen Xiao is phenomenal as Gu Qian Fan—stoic, reliable, and irresistibly charismatic. His restrained expressions and quiet devotion made him a standout.

Jelly Lin deserves special praise for her impressive character development as Yin Zhang.

Even the supporting and male side characters are well-written, memorable, and emotionally engaging.

🎹 Cinematography & Aesthetics

The first third of the drama is especially magical. The cinematography creates a peaceful, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The water reflections, teahouse scenes, city streets, and natural lighting are stunning. Costumes are elegant and refined without being over-the-top, and the sets feel fresh rather than recycled from other historical dramas.

⚖ Minor Criticisms

Some misunderstandings dragged on longer than necessary.

The ending could have offered more happy, settled moments for the main characters.

Certain plot threads felt slightly underdeveloped toward the end.

🌟 Final Thoughts

A Dream of Splendor is an inspiring, emotionally rich, and beautifully crafted drama. It celebrates women’s resilience, meaningful love, chosen family, and personal ambition without losing its elegance.

With its strong writing, mature romance, compelling business arc, and exceptional performances, this drama easily earns its 9/10 rating. It’s one of those rare shows that feels both comforting and empowering—and absolutely worth revisiting.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves strong female leads, mature romance, business growth stories, and beautifully told historical dramas.

A cute romance between Big and Park with a touch of fantasy

PLOT: Torn struggles with bad luck and odd jobs. He has a car accident that sends him to a parallel universe, inhabiting the body of Apo, a wealthy, arrogant, and "diva" heir, engaged to Suriya, the ML (a gay business marriage). Suriya quickly notices the differences because he can read the thoughts (like all the males in his family). Suriya will play along, teaching Torn how to play Apo, and ends up falling in love with Torn. But not everyone approves of this marriage...

+++ The CL Big & Park is intense, with incredible chemistry. As Virgievirgie noted in her review, their intimate scenes were so powerful that I felt like a voyeur ;) ;) Excellent! I wasn't familiar with them, but I'm going to watch Monster Next Door to see them together again.
+++ Effective direction: pacing, lighting, effects, framing... impeccable. The touch of humor pleasantly lightens the tone of the drama.
+++ The OSTs are not too intrusive and are really enjoyable.
+++ The story is relatively coherent, with a believable use of mindreading.

### Some of the characters' changes (ML's mother, ML's father) are too abrupt to be believable. The villain's ending is too rushed to be satisfying.

=> I've only recently started watching BL series, but shows of this quality make me want to see more :)

A cute romance beetween Big and Park with a touch of fantasy

Il a un accident de voiture, qui l'envoie dans un univers parallĂšle, ds le corps de Apo, hĂ©ritier riche, arrogant et "diva", fiancĂ© Ă  Suriya, le ML (mariage gay d'affaires). Suriya s'aperçoit vite des diffĂ©rences car il lit les pensĂ©es de ses interlocuteurs (comme ts les mĂąles de la famille). Suriya va jouer le jeu, apprendre Ă  Torn comment jouer Apo, et finir par tomber amoureux de Torn. Mais tt le monde ne voit pas ce mariage d'un bon Ɠil ...

+++ Le CL Big & Park est intense, avec 1 alchimie d'enfer. Comme le notait Virgievirgie, leurs scÚnes intimes étaient tellement fortes que je me sentais voyeuse ;) ;) Excellents ! Je ne les connaissais pas mais je vais aller visionner Monster Next Door pr les revoir ensemble.
+++ Réalis° efficace : rythme, lumiÚres, effets, cadrages, ... impeccables. La touche d'humour allÚge agréablement le ton du drama.
+++ OSTs pas trop intrusives et agréables.
+++ Story relativement cohérente, avec une utilisat° crédible du Mindreading.

### Certains revirements des personnages (ML's mother, ML's father) sont trop brusques pr ĂȘtre crĂ©dibles. La fin du Villain est trop rapide pr ĂȘtre satisfaisante.

=> Je regarde des BL depuis peu, mais des séries de cette qualité me donne envie d'en voir plus :)

Cute Moments Lost in a Messy Story

It started as a cute, fun romcom, the leads are adorable together and a few other characters make them worth watching. But as it went on the story got messy with too many random problems and lazy fixed. There are funny moments and some charming chemistry but mostly you be left wishing the writing had been stronger. Light, harmless fun but not something you regret skipping. overall it feels like it wasted its potential.

Love their acting and the comedy

Tan Songyun is a natural actress. No boring scenes from her. The love story is very subtle. Love can be seen in their small interactions and in their eyes. The chemistry was always present in every interactions. This is not an intense love story that shows a lot of physical touch but a very pure love that is full of sacrifices. The story tells us that not all demon are bad and not all humans acts like human. I am rewatching this for the funny scenes of all the characters especially Tan Songyun. This is the first xianxia story that I have enjoyed.

This drama is genuinely so amazing! like so damn good !!!

If you are still deciding whether The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is worth watching, the answer is an absolute yes. This drama is amazing from start to finish and genuinely deserves your time. From the very first episode, it pulls you in with its fast-paced storytelling, strong performances, and perfect balance of action, emotion, and humour.

One of the biggest strengths of this drama is its cast. The actors deliver outstanding performances, making every character feel realistic, memorable, and emotionally engaging. The character development throughout the series is especially impressive, allowing viewers to truly connect with each individual and understand their growth over time. This drama didn’t just entertain me, it completely pulled me out of my current slump.

As an action medical drama, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call was absolutely brilliant, Each episode is packed with intense, high stakes situations that highlight the reality of working in emergency medicine. It offers a deeper look into what doctors go through on a daily basis, reminding viewers of the sacrifices they make and how much appreciation they truly deserve. Despite the heavy themes, the drama balances this intensity beautifully with humour, making it both thrilling and enjoyable to watch.

Dr. Baek is easily one of the most entertaining characters in the series. His chaotic energy, his random crash outs, unexpected humour make every scene he’s in unforgettable. His interactions with Dr. Lang are especially hilarious from renaming him “Number One” to the absolutely iconic “Anus” nickname and calling Cheon Jang Mi gangster due to a certain situation and for the the whole series was one of the highlight aswell, which had me laughing out loud. What made it even more impactful was the moment when Dr. Baek finally called Dr. Lang by his real name in one of the episodes, and Dr. Lang reaction to it was generally so cute and really showed that he appreciated it.

Han Yu Rim- at first wasn’t the best but gradually become pretty great, that one moment of the show with him actually made me cry but overall he ended up being good!!
Choi Jo Eun- some moments was pretty good but others not so muc he’s an alright character I guess but that one talk with him and dr baek was amazing overall good!

Hong Jae Hun- pissed me off most of the show and was not good !!

Cheon Jang Mi was another highlight of the drama. She is genuinely funny, deeply caring, and effortlessly cool. Her dynamic with both Dr. Baek and Dr. Lang was heartwarming and added so much warmth to the story. Their relationship felt natural, wholesome, and truly special, making their scenes together some of the most enjoyable moments in the series and especially when they are on the rooftop hahah!!.

Overall, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is a masterpiece of a drama. It delivers action, comedy, emotional depth, and strong character bonds all in one. Every episode felt engaging, exciting, and meaningful. If you’re even slightly considering watching it, don’t, watch it right now this drama is incredible, memorable, and absolutely worth it!!!đŸ„č💕

This is the type of romance I want when I decide to watch a vertical drama.

No angst, no extremely evil characters, no overdramatic FL or an extremely unrealistic ML.
Just a simply and lovely romance with good acting and enough drama to keep the thing going for a couple of hours.

Acting is great here, if you are familiar with the ML you will know you are going to watch some good acting, the FL was nice too so it was nicely done.

The whole story is cliché which is the norm with VDs but this is one of the good dramas.
