Zhai Yiying first enjoyable drama..

Actually i watch this last year i never think Zhai Yiying has acting skill until i see this. Personally i liked Wang Yiran-Shi Tong drama so i give my self try to see another version.

I consider this Zhai Yiying's representative drama. Her makeup and styling in this drama suit her better than in any other drama I've seen. She perfectly embodies the charming cuteness of a young girl, and her crying scenes are decent. For me she is better Wen Li on this version than Shi Tong.

This is my first time watching Li Quan Cheng's drama, but his sexual tension is amazing. I realized this is also his peak in terms of styling. However, their two kissing scenes are like two clam spirits, terrible. The flaws don't detract from the overall quality. He needs to catch up Wang Yiran acting skill.

One thing I don't understand is that ML is also reborn, so why did he keep rejecting the FL in the beginning? He never understand love in either of his two lives.

trigger warning for woman harassed at workplace

This show should carry a trigger warning for women who have been sexually harassed at the workplace. Just because men are beautiful doesn’t make it ok for them to relentlessly pursue a woman at work. And one of them is a repellant character so that’s even worse.

The show carried by the amazing charisma and beauty of the main stars but in real life it would be a nightmare for the woman involved.

Korean mean don’t have a good reputation among Korean women and this show provides clues as to why that might be.

Untalented ML

Things I liked

1 I liked the actress who plays the FL. She's cute and even though I don't think she's the best actress out there, she isn't bad either.

2 Some of the other characters. I think the cast was quite good.

Things I hated

1 The ML. I tried so many times but he's truly one of the most untalented actors I've ever seen. I watched several dramas he's part of and the only one I could stomach is the My Secret Romance. It would also be better with another actor, but the FL did enough to make him bearable. In this one he's particularly bad and not endearing in any way.

2 The script is quite bad. Some lines are so cringe I was embarrassed for the actors.

cliché plot story

First of all i like Feng Ming Chao and Chen Luxi pairing but this drama was their weakest drama. The plot is basically generic FL love ML but ML just fooling around with SFL and FL decided to leave him. Chen Luxi didn't give vibe as someone who was hurt unfortunately while Feng Ming Chao just easily pulled out the scumbag ML. The ending was okay but it feels too bland.

Just watch it lmao

Honestly the best way to explain this is, the first half is the narrow and straight. Then the last half is just hilarious nonsense. Not all of it will hit good. But the really funny bits are classic Kitano. The plot is basically told twice but with comedic changes in the second half.

Honestly first part isn't even that bad pretty simple gangsta setup lol
Kinda reminded me of like improv shows. You could tell the actors were having fun with the constant snickering. I've never seen Tadanobu Asano act like this before haha so it was ever funnier.

If you like Kitano and to waste a random hour, why not lol

This one is really an underrated gem❤️

This series was adapted from a manga and it definitely gave the manga vibes. I was quite skeptical at first but i think they've done a good job with the series. It's not the best but it's not bad either. It's a nice above average show u can watch and relax.

I really loved Anda's brother the entire show😆😆 he's soo damn funny. Even the parents 🤌🤌🤌 the best part about the show were its side characters. Yes the main characters were good but i liked the side characters more😅 especially the brother and his boyfriend although i did want to see the parent's reaction to their relationship

Enjoy this separation at birth mother and child drama.

I was on Song Yujia marathon drama last year and found Cheng Cheng. He may not most handsome actor but his acting skill are quite good compared to another handsome actor.

It's a very cliché story: FL slept with someone years ago and had a child, but for some reason, the child was raised by the ML, and the FL thought the child was dead.

ML was quite ex-convict who actually decent guy. FL was not saint she was tortured by her mother and cut ties with her family after she know they contributed to kidnapping her child .Love how Song Yujia got bond with the child making the drama is slightly higher than other same theme drama.

Villain is too stereotypical. SFL went on one blind date with the ML, doesn't even know what he does, yet she's smitten by ML.

"The Divorce Insurance" contains loads of stories, very worth watching!

I'm a huge fan of Lee Dong-wook . So, after the series finished airing, I sat to watch the drama. Actually when any drama series starts airing, I can't wait for the next episods. I watched it a bit late and oh my goodness. Every episods is full of family stories and anyone can watch it with family members. I highly recommend this drama for new married couples. I was going to rate 10/10 but I don't like any relationship between my friend and my ex. I also hate exes' again coming back in my life. Overall it's too much worth watching.

A legal show that deserves all the attention

This show was so fun and engaging, i found myself at the end wishing it was longer than just 12 episodes.
However, the writing could have benefited from a few changes. I could tell some of the legal aspects of the trials were not as credible, and i’m not a legal professional.

likes:
- the main characters and their storylines
- the comedic timing of this show was A+
- i appreciated the lack of romance
- i loved seeing queer and disabled representation, especially in a kdrama

dislikes:
- the last trial felt rushed
- the initial cases felt too over the top melodramatic and felt unrealistic in a way that you could tell they were written for a show
- i didnt like what they did to Jung-in’s storyline in the end

Child actors need pay raise

I watch this because Peng Daidai but end up i quite like these child actor instead.

The Plot was about FL agree to being surrogate mother for ML for money but when she was on birth due her mother get accident and her children was taken away with her family.

It was nice to see Peng Daidai in refreshing role but the romance chemistry with Zhang Yuntao are lacking tension. But i amused with all of children actor especially the girl one. She could play more intense role for young age,

Recommended to watch if you like kids acting better than the main leads.

Not sure what they were going for here.

I know I shouldn't review a show based on one episode, but I literally can't continue. The viewers are thrown into a world and expected to care about the characters without any information. It's just scene after scene of dialog interspersed with beautiful scenery. In the first few minutes we're in Italy suddenly in the middle of a confession scene, then in Japan traveling to go yell at some lady who may have stolen the FL's boyfriend... or not... but she wants him back... or not...? The ML walks away then comes back, and the whole time I'm like "who are any of these people??" Also there's at least three different time jumps/flashbacks, none of which have any context at all.
The FL isn't likeable. The ML has no personality. The first episode should draw me in, make me curious, give me some information. I felt like I was starting on episode five, like there was a lot that I was missing, and not in a good way. I don't have time to spend on frustrating shows, and honestly felt a little annoyed about it so that's why I'm leaving this cranky review.

Another feeling, Another best besides S5

The only bug in this variety is the crew ,really annoying , like no brain , i hate all the segment they made ,they just want to create a difficult to make a “节目素材” in 花少,,no creative they just lucky , Asking them to gather materials and do their homework and one by one interaction is really a mood killer,its really annoying because the history of the country really more interesting but they need to collect the materials for the creative video ,the only thing they need to do is let go and not interfere with their travel problems, fortunately the members know how to refuse and communicate ,,AND SO ANNOYING A LOT OF ADS! THAT THE..!! ITS CRAZY ! ,

In 花少6 the crew also do unnecessary things like when the members are very tired they have to go out one by one to look for clues in the rain alone, the members don't know how to refuse, plus the oldest member like chen hao doesn't want to do anything, if so why join the trip? She feels she is too old and childish to do it, it's very boring, if only a few she dont like still makes sense


And in this season Maybe you could say the right thing the crew did was to choose Zhangyaqi for the little sister, when i first saw her, she might have seemed very fake, not only her but the other members too, even until the end, but compared to the other contestants, Zhang was the best in terms of character and ability ,she is cute

and for the other members, their emotions are quite stable and their way of interacting is getting closer and closer like a family, but sometimes they think that Naying is the one who needs their help the most, even though I think Chen Shu needs it more, several times when they need to climb, they carry Naying's things but Chen Shu carries them herself, it seems like she is being ignored

They had very different personalities, but in the end, they still managed to get along with each other while retaining their true nature.

And about one by one interactions, they make this stupid segment as a tradition of 花少 and being refuted by zhang wanyi ,This segment only makes a person's relationship with another person seem unfamiliar


About the place they go its so amazing ,especially Egypt, very impressed by its history and Madagascar by its nature, liked all the tour guides, they were very cool and professional

i think this season is another best one besides S5
Hope the member relationship can last longer

Brainless drama.

I watch around 2 years ago and personally the plot story is absolutely ridiculous. It was the first time i discover Chai Hui Xin and think her acting is still better than Meng Na (and she still do better in term of acting range). I remember i was quite mad since people always scrutiny Chai Hui Xin and belittle her due this drama from Meng Na fans.

Ma Xia Yu plays on his comfortable rough ML and he nailed this drama he was the reason i didn't drop this brainless drama. ML should go to jail anyway.

CHALANT & SECURE MEN>>>

this was ok. i love love loved the cinematography the most!!!! the pacing/writing/scenes etc seemed so leveled up from other cdramas that are typically just "flat"...

i do indeed love a chalant pursuit of love and zhang ling he does it amazingly UGH. so many cute moments and him obsessing ... LOVE IT. also LOVED the fuckass toxic ex plotline... makes everything more dramatic and lowkey fun + puts a pain on my heart that feels good?? he literally helped her out of a toxic/abusive relationship...

HER FRIENDS ARE THE BEST. 1. the best girl friend so good for smacking her in the head for ignoring ML and telling her her ex is shit. also telling ML that FL still cares for him. love her. 2. the guy friend MUAH. lowkey he is more my type than ML. so cute, sweet, supportive. gives girl dad vibes and so comforting.

overall this was a green flag show and cute! i usually hate the dramas after they become a couple but i think they did it pretty well and still made their realtionship interesting afterwards. the doctor x patient plot was erm kinda weird for me cuz... is this not a HIPAA violation or smth. anyways..

chemistry was good. but story was kinda boring and 28 episodes is way too long bruh. i think cdramas must shorten these bruh

I liked the sequel but i find this boring and draggy

I've watched 6 episodes and I've put this drama on hold 5 times🙃. I tried my best to complete it but i just can't without feeling sleepy. The plot is too simple for it to be 17 episode drama. 90% of the plot ended in ep 1 and 2 and starting episode 3 it's just fluff🙃 them flirting with each other and nothing is really going on. Yeah there's the past life flashback but that's not worth 17 episodes of pure boredom. I had high expectations from this one cz of the hype. Everyone talked about how heart breaking it was and how interesting it was but the only heartbreak i felt was in episode 1. It could be cz i watched the sequel 1st but i can't do it anymore so I'm dropping it.
