JUST THE BEST!!!!

The acting, the expressions everything is a 10 out of 10 for me, loved the cast, the story the music everything. Cheng Lei and Song yi really brought the characters back to life. Honestly when the trailer first came out I couldn't understand anything, but nonetheless I was excited and I wasn't at any point disappointed when it dropped, drama that kept me wanting more with each episode. A huge fan of Cheng Lei too, the last drama I watched of him was MJTY, didn't see his cameo in FOF, unfortunately even his presence couldn't make me watch that show, maybe I'll give it another chance in the near future. And this is my first drama of Song Yi, didn't watch Destined so..., and I was impressed with her, she ate and left no crumbs, maybe I'll add Destined to my watchlist. Overall just the best, definitely watching it again very soon. And those people giving it a bad review, all I can say it, You need to improve your taste buds....... so many good drama's came out this year and safe to say this is my second favorite (first being when destiny brings the demon ofc), with only a 0.0000000000001% difference. Can't wai for Cheng Lei's upcoming dramas...

Real blockbuster of a tale with two sets of strong ML & FL

I’m not normally a fan of Dilraba as she mostly leaves me cold but I felt she did really well in this even though the plot line was a little predictable as she leapfrogged over everyone in her path to become the most important person to complete strangers who trusted her completely despite knowing nothing about her.
Leo Wu was brilliant as the main ML, smouldering and dark one moment, adoring of his FL and fiercely protective the next.

I will admit that I felt Zhao Lusi and Lui Yuning were a fantastic match and I love everything both of these actors have been in and their chemistry as Hao Du and Le Li An was off the charts as they went from hating each other to being unable to live without each other. They were incredibly watchable and their character development was subtle at times but so beautiful to watch.
The storyline was excellent, the acting, production values and costumes amazing but I don’t understand why there always has to be a main support character that gets killed off - I didn’t think this added anything to the plot.

Wonderful all rounder but probably not one I’d watch again

The hell was that

Despite all the negative reviews i still gave the series a chance because in reels the couple looked cute.

I hated the ending. First of all the scene where grandfather and grandson was talking near the tree at the end episode ig had no depth. it was just 'Goodbye grandpa' and puff, scene change like WHAT?

The grandfather didn't even stop him let alone getting emotional on his grandson's departure. Everything felt rushed, no depth. It felt like only Guan Ri Qing was grieving rest nobody gave a fuck. Specially the grandfather. Bro, your grandson left the world and the next thing is you are kissing and having lovely time with your lover. The writers had a random thought and executed without thinking and planning. Loved the chemistry and actors though. .

Great story - can’t wait for the sequel

From the get go I was invested in this drama and pleased to see that Yang Zi and Li Xian work just as well together as they did in Go Go Squid.
FL & ML are so good together and the chemistry is excellent even though this is not a typical romance story in the beginning. He quietly watches from a distance and readies himself to step in even as she solves her problems on her own, each success she achieves makes him more and more proud of her as well as fiercely protective. In the beginning she sees him as an irrelevant playboy wastrel but by halfway through the series she begins to realise all is not as it seems and becomes intrigued as to what he is up to. Theirs is a slow build romance that develops naturally as they realise that they are stronger together than apart and start to notice each others strong points rather than perceived flaws.
Miles Wei is brilliant as Lui Chang, the pathetic, down trodden ex husband of the FL who is bulldozed into marrying the spoilt princess Yu Zhen. Yu Zhen spends most of her time trying to sabotage FL rather than work on the sham of a marriage she has forced upon a man who suddenly realises he should have stuck with bride #1 which leads to several of the problems FL faces and by the end ML, who has a real problem with her father, realises he has to deal with the whole family not just the patriarch which makes his mission even more complicated.

Can’t wait for the sequel and would happily watch this again.

Se prepara pra chorar!

É meu dorama favorito de toda vida, eu amo como tudo acontece no seu tempo, amo como o Uk conseguiu atingir os objetivos dele e superar os obstáculos com a unica pessoa que ele confiava pra poder ajudá-lo a forma como eles se apaixonaram pra mim foi tudo tão leve!! Jang Uk e Naksu foram épicos em todos os sentidos, a morte do Uk foi a que eu mais chorei em todos os doramas que ja assisti, quando eu reassisti, chorei como se fosse a primeira vez, sinto que depois que esse dorama acabou fiquei com um vazio imenso dentro do meu coração, senti isso em ambas temporadas e se eu perdesse minha memória iria desejar assistir eles de novo

hm...

It’s not so often that we see Thai BL dramas switching up couples so frequently. So, it was quite a surprise for me to see Pond Ponlawit Ketprapakorn with a new partner, while his partnership with Earth (Cooheart) in Fourever You hasn’t even wrapped up yet. I know that series is still pending, waiting for a second season—and of course, I know Pond has every right to take on other projects. I’m not protesting, don’t get me wrong—I’m happy for him. I just found it unexpected—since it’s not the norm in the Thai BL drama world.

Because I’m a little impatient, I decided to start reading the novel. Thank goodness someone uploaded the entire book on Wattpad. To my surprise, they changed some key elements from the book for the drama adaptation—and those changes actually alters the overall tone of the story

Let’s discuss drama…

The story follows Armin Thiwanon, a renowned actor who tragically dies on the night of his greatest triumph—just after winning a prestigious award and discovering his long-time partner’s betrayal.

Instead of death, Armin wakes up 26 years in the past, back when he was a struggling, unknown performer in his early 20s. Once again, he must walk the path to superstardom

In this altered timeline, he meets Thada, a mysterious man who suddenly befriends him. Unbeknownst to Armin, Thada is the one who paves the way for his success. With Thada’s help, Armin’s rise to fame happens much faster this time.

As their bond deepens, Armin eventually discovers a shocking truth: Thada is actually TD—the mysterious, devoted fan from his past life. That revelation changes everything. The feelings Armin once thought were gratitude begin to shift into something deeper.

But amidst all these changes in his second chance at life, one question remains…
Who was responsible for Armin’s death in his past life?

That's pretty much the story without giving more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Seeing the possibility for Thai actors to change ships in the middle of an unfinished drama series…

What I don’t like:
- Although everyone seems to like Pond & Peterpan chemistry, for me it is a NO go. They don’t sell it for me. I still prefer Pond & Earth in Fourever You.
- Everything must add a BL element… It’s too much forcing the vibe… In the book Janine is a woman & more importantly, she’s married with kids. So why the drama needed to change her gender into male, even added a little bit of a romance vibe with Veynai. I really don’t understand it…
- For me Peterpan can’t sell me Thada character. He’s good, but he’s not Thada.

Overall this is an ok drama for 2nd chance. Forgettable in my book. But still a fun watch. Much prefer the book than the drama

Now the difference between drama and the book… Fair warning though, I’ll write with spoilers. So if you don’t wanna know, you can stop reading here.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================










The different from the book:
* They take the mystery around Armin’s death more seriously. In the book is strictly just the beginning of the story. And this is the primary reason that changes the tone of the story. The book is just about how Armin took better chance in his 2nd life, not surrounding the mystery of his death.
* Phat & his mother, Armin’s friend who is never mentioned in the book. But they bring such a good vibe for Armin’s character. I’m happy the drama added these 2 characters.
* Thiwthit, Thada’s brother as such an important character. Thiwthit is never mentioned in the book. And I just don’t like that they added this character.
* In the book, Armin never really left Venus, instead, Thada just silently bought Venus behind the scene. Haha… And he’s more of a shadow figure behind Armin’s back instead so flown upright like in the drama.
* In the book, Thada is more mysterious. He’s the embodiment of a mysterious rich guy who controls everything behind the entertainment world. And when he announced his relationship with Armin that when the world was shaking… He really made a difference with Armin than any of his “fling”.
* The beginning of their relationship… It's just so weird in the drama. I don’t like it.
* The way they change the fact that Thada is also experienced back to past life. Yes the book mentions this for their special chapter, but for a totally different story. Not like in the drama.

Lawyers in Corporate Basically

This drama centers around a law firm and a team of lawyers working in a specific section of the firm. Each episode focuses on one case. It also depicts the lives of the lawyers. The main female lead and the male lead work in the same team, and the female lead is a junior who recently joined. Their family lives are also a major part of the drama, along with stories involving their relatives and friends. Honestly, I see this more as a workplace dynamic drama than a love story. It hints at romance between the leads, but very subtly. The whole drama is more about law-related cases. It's a well-made show with good acting and storytelling. If you enjoy workplace law dramas, this is definitely one to watch.

Short, Thoughtful, and Underrated

This mini drama may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I personally found it refreshing and interesting. In the earlier episodes, you will probably feel confused about the how and why of the story. However, as the episodes progress, the answers you have been waiting for slowly get revealed.

Restarted Love is definitely for viewers who enjoy deep and thought-provoking stories. It is not your usual light watch, but something that makes you reflect as the plot unfolds.

For me, it stands out as one of the hidden gems among short C-dramas. If you are into meaningful storytelling packed in a short format, this is worth giving a try.

They got lost in the genre

In 12 episodes you'll see: Drama, family, romance, violence, laws, Melodrama, corruption and some other genres.

But for me, they wanted to put all the genres together, but they didn't focus on any of them, but rather brushed them up. It seemed to me that drama was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

The stories in each chapter were well developed, but the overall story seemed to me that none of them were properly developed as a whole and this don't give me satisfation.

I didn't know what to expect when I started watching, but I was a little disappointed. I would have liked them to develop the main stories as they did in the chapters.

Lovers to enemies to lovers done well

God, the chemistry between the leads is so good. I loved seeing them interact with each other. The story is fun as well. There's a little bit of everything in here. I highly recommend watching this. If you are hesitant to start or put off by the whole 'turning into a child' thing in the first couple of episodes, don't be. It does not last long, and it's explained why that happens. Tbh, I don't really have any negatives. If I wanted to nitpick, I'm sure I could find things to point out, but I got what I wanted: a fun story about generals, their life, their love, their responsibilities, their hate, and most importantly, a satisfying ending.
