So good!!!
I have to be honest. I watched this episode because a lot of people were talking about it. And my oh my the story, the acting and the visuals are all outstanding. This is the first series where I’ve actually fallen for all 4 characters from the get go. But my I need to give a special mention to Est Supha, not only is that man drop dead gorgeous but his acting skills are exceptional. The way he portrays his emotions with his facial expressions is just 10/10. Plus the way he plays this cold aloof character but yet still show’s moments of vulnerability when he is with his friend Pun. I honestly can’t wait to discover his background story.Was this review helpful to you?
A vertical drama for Alice in Borderland fans
Watched on the FOD Shorts app with English subtitles!I think this is definitely worth a watch if the synopsis interests you, and it's best to go in completely blind, so I won't go in-depth in this review and just offer my recommendation!
This is tagged on the app as horror, which was a little worrying for me going in because I'm a total weenie when it comes to scary stuff, but it actually wasn't too bad. Aside from one moment with a slightly disturbing image (the end of ep 24 when they look at one of the character's camera) and maybe one or two very mild jumpscares (no loud sounds or anything, just the sudden appearance of the little kid), it was more than tolerable for me, although YMMV.
Kusakawa Takuya has a great disposition for horror, and it's funny that he and Sugai Yuuka were costars in a romance drama the year before this came out given the relationship their characters have here. I do have some unanswered questions and the parallels to parts of Alice in Borderland were quite apparent imo (iykyk), but I generally like what they did with the concept and enjoyed this quick watch!

The Height of Japanese Spirit
I’ve seen this movie at least 3-4 times in the past 3 days. I adore this movie. What is it.. it has that Je Ne Sais Quoi that is the essence of everything I love about Japan and the spirit it embodies. It has all the beautiful aspects of spirit embodied in Japanese culture and aesthetic, that has its foundation in reverance for nature, all packaged in a heartwarming tale with comedy and heart all throughout. I don’t know any movie that ends with a long rendition of “You are my Sunshine but I realized it was the happiness of Spirit singing throughout the movie. Everything about it has so much soul. The picturesque sceneries are like paintings, and the music is otherworldly. I discovered this famous song “Ue o muite” from this movie as Chris Hart’s character sings in the bathhouse with his mother after being released from prison. Ahh I was a puddle of tears. I can feel so much heart and soul and the Spirit just speaking to my heart in every moment and I had so many moments of tears, and gratitude behind it all. This isn’t just a kiddie pool. Yudo, the way of the bath is as deep as it gets. And it touched the very bottom of my soul. Happiness is not pursued, it is realized!Was this review helpful to you?

ALL BEACSUE OF THE PILL NGL!!
As far as Ik it’s because of pill lol. But other than that brotha and sista this is the best one like the plot twists and the crazy endings finding out long lost sibling and a lot more like the first few eps like 1 and 2 had me kinda small boring but when ep 4 onwards was the craziest ones. Genuinely why is the rating 7.5 Ik peoples have different opinions but it’s genuinely a worth of watch oneWas this review helpful to you?
PEAK 10/10…
I’m so impressed by this first episode! I read the novel of Mr. Fanboy and they added some scenes in ep 1 that weren’t in the novel, but I really like it. Auausave had such amazing acting and so did every actor. I thought I’d be icked out by Ker being in this because she’s a Domundi staff member, but so far there wasn’t much of her and when she did show up, it flowed well. AAS have such amazing chemistry and they showed that they are main cp potential just by episode one. I don’t have much more to say but I loved this episode so much and it was one of the best bl series I’ve watched since LUAT and it’s only the first episode. Peak so far!! Can’t wait for next week.Was this review helpful to you?
Competent enough
Filing for Love is a solid office rom-com/drama that does a lot right. Where it really excels is in its cast and fantastic use of supporting characters. Usually, supporting characters are just used as vehicles for the main story to pass through, but here they actually add dimension and dynamism, which I really appreciated.I also really liked how Filing for Love was constructed. There’s an elegance to the way this drama is put together that feels increasingly lacking in K-dramas these days. The audit and workplace misconduct storylines are interesting, the workplace-as-dating-pool element is amusing, and even the limited slice-of-life moments serve a purpose.
But there’s just… something missing.
I can't quite put my finger on it. Was it the chemistry between the two leads? Was there something slightly disjointed in the overall delivery? I don't know but collectively, it never quite produced that X factor.
It feels like a drama that understood the assignment and executed the brief correctly, but never went beyond the brief.
I also thought the villains were a major weakness. They were painfully one-dimensional. They arrived, caused problems and disappeared. I need more from my villains! Give me some motivation, some pathology, something that makes me understand why they behave the way they do. A genuinely multidimensional villain could have added so much more to the story.
So ultimately, Filing for Love settles somewhere around a 7–7.5/10 for me. It's refreshing, highly watchable and above-average in execution, but it never quite finds that special something that pushes it into great territory.
If you're a fan of office romances or workplace-centred dramas, I'd give it a go.

They changed the world around them, but never managed to change where their hearts belonged.
I genuinely don't know how to start this without sounding emotionally unstable, because what the hell was that?I went into The Edge of Horizon expecting a beautiful historical BL with forbidden romance, yearning, pretty costumes and probably some emotional pain because historical romances apparently cannot let people be happy for more than five minutes.
What I did NOT expect was for this drama to become the first drama in my life to actually make me cry.
And I mean genuinely cry.
Not watery eyes. Not the “damn, that's sad” reaction. ACTUAL TEARS
Episode 11 completely destroyed me, but I'll get to that emotional crime later.
For me, what made *The Edge of Horizon* special was not simply its story. It was the way it made me feel the relationship between Tin and Phob. Their love never felt rushed or suddenly forced upon the audience. It felt like history. Like something that existed long before we entered their lives.
And that made everything hurt so much more.
STORY- 10/10
I loved how this drama understood that love doesn't always need to be loud.
Sometimes the most powerful romance is simply two people looking at each other like they've spent years trying to forget something their hearts refuse to let go of.
The story had familiar elements- class differences, forbidden love, family pressure and political conflict- but the emotional execution worked incredibly well for me. The historical and political backdrop also felt connected to the characters instead of existing only as decoration. A country was changing, old systems were being challenged, and at the same time these characters were questioning the roles they had been assigned from birth.
That parallel was one of my favourite parts.
Tin and Phob's relationship wasn't only forbidden because of who they loved, but also because of hierarchy, duty and the worlds they came from. Between them, titles didn't matter. But outside their private moments, the entire world constantly reminded them that they were supposed to be different.
The story isn't perfect. There are familiar tropes and a few pacing moments that could have been tighter. But emotionally? It got me.
And honestly, sometimes that's what matters most.
THE ROMANCE & YEARING- 10/10
The yearning in this drama deserves its own rating because HOW were these two capable of causing emotional damage just by looking at each other?
The chemistry between Ongsa and Inn was one of the strongest parts of the drama for me. Their relationship didn't depend only on physical intimacy. Sometimes the most romantic scenes were the quiet ones- standing close, almost touching, looking away because looking for too long would reveal too much.
A glance carried memories.
Silence carried years.
Distance carried everything they had lost.
And I absolutely loved that.
The drama made ordinary moments feel incredibly meaningful. Watching them simply exist together, laugh or enjoy a moment of peace felt almost more romantic than grand declarations. Those scenes gave us a glimpse of the life they could have had if the world had simply left them alone.
Which, of course, made me anxious because this drama apparently considers happiness a temporary subscription.
Their love felt lived in. It felt like they knew each other beyond romance. They remembered versions of each other that existed before duty, politics and responsibility changed everything.
And I think that's why their connection felt so powerful.
They weren't just lovers.
They were witnesses to each other's lives.
ACTING/CAST- 10/10
Inn and Ongsa absolutely carried the emotional weight of this relationship.
Their chemistry felt natural enough that I never felt like I was watching two actors trying to convince me that their characters were in love. I believed them.
And THE EYES of TIN
My God.
Somebody explain why these two could have entire conversations without saying anything.
This story depends heavily on emotional restraint because the characters can't always say what they feel or act on what they want. The actors had to communicate everything underneath the surface and they did that beautifully.
Tin's vulnerability especially stood out to me. Despite being surrounded by privilege, he often felt emotionally trapped inside a life he didn't fully choose. Phob, meanwhile, carried a different kind of conflict- freedom, loyalty and responsibility constantly pulling him in different directions.
The supporting cast also added so much to the story. Even the characters I wanted to personally fight had performances that made their emotions believable. Family conflict didn't always come from simple hatred; sometimes it came from fear, pride, jealousy and tradition.
That complexity made the pain hit harder.
MUSIC- 10/10
The soundtrack deserves an apology from me because I now associate certain emotional songs with suffering.
The music fit the atmosphere perfectly. It knew exactly when to stay quiet and exactly when to enter and emotionally stab me.
By the later episodes, I had developed genuine anxiety whenever certain music started playing because I knew something emotionally suspicious was probably about to happen.
So yes.
Beautiful soundtrack.
Also partly responsible for my tears.
CINEMATOGRAPHY & PRODUCTION- 10/10
This drama is genuinely gorgeous.
The costumes, palace interiors, landscapes and historical atmosphere all helped create a world that felt immersive. The setting wasn't simply pretty background decoration- it supported the emotional story.
I especially loved the contrast between freedom and confinement. Beautiful spaces could still feel suffocating. Private rooms became the only places where characters could truly be themselves. Open landscapes represented possibilities that always seemed just beyond reach.
The production was visually stunning without making the visuals feel more important than the characters.
EPISODE 11- 10/10 BUT ALSO FUCK YOU
I have watched sad dramas before.
I've watched tragedies. I've watched characters suffer. I've watched scenes specifically designed to emotionally destroy viewers.
And somehow, I had never cried.
Until Episode 11.
This episode absolutely broke me.
I think what made it hurt so much was that the drama had already spent eleven episodes making us understand how painful separation was for these characters. They had already lost years. They had already sacrificed so much. Their entire relationship was built around the fear of losing each other.
So when the possibility of permanent separation appeared?
I was DONE.
The waiting. The uncertainty. The grief. The possibility that after everything, one of them could become nothing more than a memory?
I genuinely cried.
For the first time because of a drama.
And I think that's because the drama earned those tears. It didn't simply throw tragedy at me and expect me to care. It spent the entire series building my attachment to these characters first.
So by Episode 11, I wasn't just watching something sad.
I was watching something happen to characters I had become deeply attached to.
And apparently that was enough to finally break me.
Congratulations, Inn and Ongsa
You won.
You are officially the first drama and cp to make me cry.
Happy now???
THE ENDING
I understand why some viewers might have mixed feelings about the ending. After such a heavy story and the way the drama continuously built a sense of tragedy, I understand why the final resolution could feel softer or more convenient than expected.
But personally?
I DID NOT CARE.
BRING HIM BACK.
After everything these two went through, after the years they lost and after Episode 11 nearly murdered me emotionally, I needed that reunion.
I needed them to have something.
Not perfection.
Not a magically easy life.
Just time.
Ordinary moments.
A chance to exist without constantly preparing for another separation.
And after everything?
Seeing them find their way back to each other felt like finally breathing again.
REWATCH VALUE- 9/10
Would I rewatch this?
Absolutely.
This drama has so many beautiful moments that I genuinely want to experience again- the cinematography, music, chemistry, quiet scenes and historical atmosphere.
But knowing what is coming will probably make a rewatch even more painful.
So I'm deducting one point purely for emotional safety reasons.
I need time to recover before voluntarily walking into Episode 11 again.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Edge of Horizon isn't perfect.
There are familiar tropes, some pacing issues and an ending that probably won't work for everyone.
But none of that changed how deeply this drama affected me.
Because at the end of the day, I cared.
I cared about these characters. I cared about their relationship. I wanted them to be happy. And when a drama can make you sit there in emotional devastation because fictional characters are suffering?
It did something right.
For me, this drama had everything I personally love- slow burning emotions, forbidden love, historical settings, emotional restraint, beautiful cinematography and two people who love each other so deeply that even years apart cannot completely erase what they have.
Tin and Phob weren't simply lovers.
They were childhood.
They were memories.
They were home.
And maybe that's why, no matter how much history changed around them, they kept finding their way back.
I have watched dramas with technically better pacing or more complicated stories. But not every drama stays with you.
Not every drama makes you sit in silence after finishing it.
Not every drama makes you cry for the first time in your life.
This one did.
And honestly?
That tells me everything I need to know about how much it affected me.
10/10!!!!!!!
Would absolutely recommend.
Would absolutely rewatch.
Would absolutely cry again.
Would absolutely need emotional support afterwards.
This drama did not just cross the horizon.
It crossed directly into my fucking heart and decided not to leave.

I still hate lacorn aka soapoperas...
but saying this, this was the best I have seen so far. The overacting (dad, brother) is painful to watch, but besides them there are no characters who got on my nerves. I guess both Pond and Chai did an excellent job from a lacorn view. We already know that Pond can play anything if they let him. Chai is a veteran actor and in this case he is not a 2nd class support as in most other series. As always Grandma is the best and the most wise to boot.Then we have the typical One31/GMMTV (One Enterprise) forced happy ending. There must be a happy ending ALWAYS. Why not let him die - that would have been the more fitting ending for the story. There are sacrificies to be made to change a country for the better. But no, he could not have been sacrified, there had to be a happy end, so all the fangirls are happy. First there is the "death", everyone is crying (including the viewers - not me, because I know it's always fake) because there is a death ceremony, then the "resurrection" and finally Phob is apologizing to Thins dad - FOR WHAT? WTF is wrong with the writers? There is no reason to apologize to the dad at all! And yes, they life happily ever after... or so.
Production quality was top notch and especially the OST was superb. Too bad GagaOOLala fails to translate songtexts and have missed some subs especially in the final episode. Let's just say, this series is quite good for what it is. It's not perfect, in the middle it's a bit draggy, but the start and the end till episode 10 are not bad. The finale is questionable but we can live with it. It's far from a masterpiece, but even as a lacorn it's so much better compared to most thai shows airing now. If you don't mind soapoperas it might be for you.

Light and Cute and Fun ?
What a good drama. At first the FL Song Zhu did feel a tiny tad bit annoying but trust me she is very cute and grows on u so much. Also omg Uncle Hu is my favorite character lmao, u will be missed Uncle Hu, lol. The story I feared would be like other historical romance dramas with too much scheming and all that concubine stuff cuz the dude is *spoiler alert* a prince. Or I feared that it would be like o,g a prince so he will be overpowered and everything and it will be too much show off ttpencringe stuff. But OMG IT WAS SO CUTE, SO SOFT AND SO GENTLE.Chen Yan and Song Zhu were so cute together, I love their bickering and frolicking they do. So freaking cute, my heart melted watching them. Although in the last few episodes things became way too serious to quickly while the whole drama was very light and funny. The last few episodes be killing and dropping off ppl randomly here and there. I was restless too with all the beheading and other unjust stuff happening.It was a bit sad to watch those tough times for the fl. Also I was so freaking annoyed with Zhou Ji, Dud was freaking loser during this tuff, not giving the ledger for what?!?! Even when the Dean, a righteous man would have been beheaded. I wa slide dude some needs to slap some sense in him.
Anyhow, i was wondering how they were gonna tread the love square with both sides having their best friends involved in it. Glad to say they did it well. The jealousy part too. I love how supportive the ML is. And also glad that they didnt include the "omg he's royalty she's commoner so they can't marry so here h go 10 episodes on these tough challenges" arc. I had a lot of fun watching this drama. I was expecting cuz it was a random drama I picked. I loved how light it was and I never felt bored. And also it was different than the historical dramas I've kinda seen. Like the focus was more on what goe sin the academy and they did pretty unique things too. ALSO HOW CNA I NOT MENTION? THE WOMENS ACADEMY HALL WAS SO FREAKING PRETTY AND AESTHETIC WITH THE PINKS AND TEALS. AND THE WATER PONDS INSIDE. UGH WHAT AN ATMOSPHERE TO STUDY IN. LOVED IT. The OST were pretty good too. Oh also I loved how positive the main couple are. They have been through some tough stuff but they never backed down.
Overall the drama is very very cute. Kinda unique in its own way and really fun to watch. I did not realize how I finished 36 episodes so quickly. It didn't even feel like I watched 36 episodes. This means I was barely ever bored or felt like it was dragging. I like how it doesn't rush where it should not. Love the calm peaceful slow paced moments that feel so real. I wonder how many pastries tho everyone had to eat lmao 😭 the peach something pastries. The Fl is cute, the ML is cute, they r together even cuter. The random kid and the crown prince arc was pretty interesting too.
If somebody asked me whether they should watch this drama, I would say yes, especially if you have the time and are looking for something fun and fluffy. I wouldn’t necessarily call it some crazy, exceptional, mind-blowing drama or anything, but it’s a really, really fun watch. Like, I would personally give it a 10/10, not because it’s objectively some perfect or groundbreaking drama, but because I really liked watching it. I had such a genuinely good time with it. Sometimes a drama doesn’t have to be the most exceptional thing ever; if I can sit down, enjoy myself, never feel bored, and actually have fun watching it, that counts for a LOT in my book. And this drama did exactly that.
It’s basically a very fluffy historical romance with academy vibes and minimal palace scheming, and honestly, I’m SO glad there wasn’t too much intense political intrigue or action going on. I really liked that about it. I was initially worried that since the ML was a prince, we’d get the whole “omg he’s royalty and she’s a commoner so they can’t be together” thing, or that he’d be super overpowered and everything would become all about him being a prince and showing off. But thankfully, NO. They handled that stuff really well.
The ending was also pretty satisfying. It was a little rushed, but honestly, I didn’t mind because by that point everything had become so tense and I just really wanted it to END 😭. It was giving me a little too much tension, especially after all the beheadings and unjust stuff happening, and I was just like, okay, enough, PLEASE let everyone be okay. And when I say satisfying, one of the biggest things I mean is that I was just relieved that the FL’s family wasn’t randomly killed, poisoned, or beheaded for absolutely no reason. And especially not unjustly. After everything that was happening, I was like PLEASE, JUST LET THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN PEACE. 😭
Honestly, I don’t really have any complaints about the drama. Like, if you really wanted me to sit down and find faults with it, I probably wouldn’t be able to find many because I wasn’t watching it with a microscope trying to find flaws. I was just having fun. And I think that’s ultimately why I liked it so much. It wasn’t necessarily trying to be the most epic or complicated historical drama ever. It was just a really cute, enjoyable, surprisingly unique little drama that made me laugh, made me root for the characters, and somehow got me through 36 episodes without me even realizing how much I’d watched.
Also, Uncle Hu deserves his own paragraph because that man was freaking hilarious 😭. He was basically half the comedy in the first half of the series. Some of his scenes were genuinely the funniest parts of the drama. He is definitely one of my favorite characters, and honestly, Uncle Hu will be missed. 😭 The side characters were pretty good too, especially the people at the academy. They actually made the academy feel lively and fun instead of everyone just feeling like background characters.
And honestly, at first when I saw how much the FL and ML schemed against each other, I was like, oh my God they r too extreme, how will they ever fall in love lmao. But then they grew on me SO much. Eventually I was just like, help they r made for each other, pretty fitting these two together 😭. Their bickering and frolicking around and just being stuck together and doing random things was so freaking cute. I loved their dynamic so much. And I also really liked how positive they were as a couple. They’ve been through some tough stuff, but they never really backed down from each other or from what they wanted.
The Fl is cute, the ML had great expressions.
So yeah, I think that’s ultimately what makes this a 10/10 for me. Maybe it’s not some exceptionally groundbreaking drama, but I really enjoyed watching it. I was barely ever bored, it didn’t feel like it was dragging, and I somehow finished 36 episodes without even realizing how quickly I was getting through them. It was just a really cute, fun, easy-to-watch historical romance that I had a genuinely good time with. And honestly, sometimes that’s exactly what I want from a drama. 😭
Oh, and shout out to the real Xiao Yu saying the title in the last few dialogues 😭. side note: throughout the entire drama I was like, wait… has everyone just forgotten about the real dude?! Like WHERE IS HE LMAO?! 😭
I would like to end my ramble with Uncle Hu rocks.

Kinda lost portential because of story pacing
I really like both the actors that's why i completed it. I definetly did skip a lot of scenes.All the characters were good individually but when together nothing felt in in place. It not totally the worst drama but the pacing is so off.
The main leads were good and had charcter growth also. Their dynamic was diffrent then usually. The FL is not a girl boss, is a normal employee who goes to work, want to have a peaceful normal life with a loved one. She was able to go from someone who is not so outspoken and will just let go because of fear of confronting to someone who would strive to hold on her place and show she's worth it.
The Ml was also a rich kid who grew up in a cushioned environment. He was open with his thoughts and didnt held them back. Also i like how expressive he was with FL.
The Second leads couple, Jingjing and lu ze were good. However i did not like jun and dang yu couple. the whole thing with jun's parents was so off and the screentime with them felt wasted ( i skipped most of their scenes)
The ex has such low self esteem and would drag down whoever was with him. Liao Shiyu was a good person who did rolled back in time and realised when she needed to let go.
but even if the characters were fun there were abrupt cuts in between . random scenes . It's like they had something in mind (a cute romcom with workplace romance) but came out with whatever this was

For me, the real problem lies in the visual choices. There is simply too much glamour, too many beauty filters, and too much emphasis on creating polished images, while underneath it all, there is very little substance in terms of character writing and development. The series does not really create a rich, immersive visual world; instead, it often feels like a collection of beautiful costumes and Instagrammable shots — something that has unfortunately become increasingly common in contemporary Chinese dramas that look gorgeous but lack depth.
The biggest problem, however, is the "overdose of drama". Perhaps "Overdose" would have been a more appropriate title than "Overdo". There is nothing wrong with melodrama when it is well handled. In fact, I would much rather see one or two strong dramatic threads explored properly throughout the series than have a new layer of tragedy added to every episode without ever really going beneath the surface. Here, the constant escalation eventually becomes exhausting rather than moving.
There is actually an interesting historical subject at the heart of the story: a period in which women and the sex trade could be treated as commodities and part of an established social and economic system. Unfortunately, the way this subject is handled never feels particularly believable. Everything becomes so exaggerated that the historical setting starts to feel more like Disneyland than a credible world. At some point, I simply became tired of it and lost interest halfway through the series.
The love story itself also left me rather perplexed.
And then there is the hero, who seems to spend the entire series being tortured in every possible way. Did the screenwriter have a personal grudge against him? Or were they trying to make all of Linghe's haters happy? I have no idea — I'm joking, of course. But seriously, the character goes through so much suffering that it eventually becomes almost comical.
Yet somehow, he remains the person holding the whole boat together.
Because the heroine, despite having almost all the keys and power within the story, is presented more as a glamorous figure than as a genuinely complex and dramatically developed character. She is absolutely beautiful — just like the male lead, who is exceptionally handsome — and she certainly knows how to look stunning on camera. We even get repeated close-ups of her feet while she walks — easily 20 times throughout the series, if not more. And, when the production calls for it, she can certainly deliver a beautiful, convincing tear.
So, in the end, "Overdo" is a series with a gorgeous cast, attractive costumes (It creates historical inaccuracies by featuring contemporary luxury brands) and plenty of visually polished moments, but far too little depth beneath the surface. It had the ingredients to become something much stronger, but the constant glamour, excessive melodrama and lack of meaningful character development ultimately made me disconnect from it halfway through.

Surprisingly Deep and Genuine
In a low-ranking school with a particularly squirrely class of students, an idealistic young teacher brings sincerity and genuine concern to an ecosystem in which students and adults alike carry their own burdens. School 2013 explores the complicated relationships between people, the ways those relationships can hinder or enable change, and the limits of what any one person can control. Relationally rich and grounded in the reality that change is often partial and unresolved, the series treats adolescents and the adults around them with unusual depth and compassion. Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, Jang Na Ra, and a terrific ensemble deliver nuanced performances that give their characters the weight of lives extending beyond the story. Due to mature subjects, this series is not for the faint-hearted, but it provides heart and a thoughtful chew. Enjoy.Was this review helpful to you?
Heavy, gripping, suspenseful, and touching
I was fully imersed in this drama. Our ML, Sa-eon, and FL, Hee-joo, were amazing together. The story concept was a very clever way for these two to literally get to know each other. It was heavy, gripping, suspenseful, and touching all at the same time.I enjoy a good mystery and appreciated the suspense of not knowing what was really happening until the appropriate time.
The OST was excellent. i have watched this drama twice and will eventually watch it again in another year or so.
- Potential spoiler -
In real life, though, I’d be furious at Sae-on for being so cold and indifferent every day for three years while secretly loving me. He may have thought he was creating a safe place for Hee-Joo but it was the same prison, different location for her. Unexpressed love is not love, it’s something else. But that was the story. What was it going to take for both of them to surrender to their love?
