People watching for romance but i have not find any strong romance or story is boring
It is a popular romance drama, but it wasn't as impressive as I expected. The story moves at a very slow pace, with many episodes focusing on small, repetitive moments instead of meaningful plot development. While some viewers enjoy the calm atmosphere, others may find it uneventful and lacking excitement.The romance is sweet, but it often feels overly idealized. There is very little conflict or character growth, making the relationship seem almost too perfect. As a result, the emotional stakes remain low, and the story can become predictable.
Several supporting characters are underused and don't receive enough development. Their storylines are either rushed or forgotten, leaving the drama feeling unbalanced. The plot also relies heavily on everyday interactions, which can make some episodes feel repetitive.
For me their romance and chemistry not hiring ,maybe it's overrated drama bez of actress'.and on netflix

So much potential but the script fell short in the end
The beginning was very entertaining, hilarious and eye catching. I loved the comedy and the building chemistry between the main leads.There was so much potential, and I expected a dramatic conflict due to the premise of the whole mafia family situation.
However, it felt like they built up this whole mafia story and then it just flopped, in the end. There was no climax and it became VERY boring in the last half.
The only good parts of this story was when Thee was having his comedic moments, but when it's repeated over and over, it could get a bit boring, especially when there is no major conflict or story.
This could've been a very good story but the plot felt sloppy and lazy to me. If you like a comedic story that's light hearted with no major conflicts or plot, then this will be for you.

Mission accomplished
The story and the characters both achieved what they set out to do from the start. It was a long way there (maybe not that long since it's only 24 eps) but we got there.I think maybe the elements surrounding the rebirth and why her could've been explored a little bit more but that's not the FMC's main concern, or a concern at all, so I'm not that bothered by it being vague.
The rest of the story and all the arcs within it were fun. I enjoyed all the strategy battles and all the back and forth that comes with the royal court, all the trust and lack thereof.
Visually it's very pretty and the actors looked amazing. Perhaps a couple times the cinematography did more for the story and the script itself but I don't really care. It was a good time for me.

People watching for chemistry but for me their chemistry is not hitting also story is also boring
For me fl was not hitting on screen
It's had an interesting premise, but the execution was disappointing. The biggest issue is the slow pacing. Many episodes feel dragged out with repetitive conversations and unnecessary scenes that add little to the overall story. Instead of building suspense, the plot often feels stagnant.
The romance also lacks emotional impact. While the leads have some chemistry, their relationship develops unevenly, making it difficult to become fully invested in their journey. Several emotional moments feel forced rather than naturally earned.
The supporting characters are underdeveloped and don't receive enough meaningful screen time. Some side stories seem disconnected from the main plot and only make the drama feel longer than necessary. The writing also relies on familiar clichés, making many twists predictable.
Although the cinematography and costumes are beautiful, strong visuals alone cannot make up for the weak storytelling. The drama had the potential to be much more engaging, but its slow pace, repetitive conflicts, and lack of emotional depth make it difficult to stay invested.
Overall, Pursuit of Jade is visually appealing but struggles with pacing and storytelling. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5 stars.

They have chemistry but drama is so boring
Love Has Fireworks starts with a strong and exciting premise. The lead characters share undeniable chemistry, and their interactions are filled with charm, humor, and emotional tension. From their very first meeting, it's easy to become invested in their relationship. Their romantic moments feel genuine, making the audience root for them as a couple.
However, while the romance shines, the drama does not. As the story progresses, the conflicts become repetitive and predictable. Many misunderstandings could have been solved with simple conversations, but they are stretched out to create unnecessary tension. Instead of adding depth to the characters, these dramatic moments slow the pacing and make some episodes feel longer than they need to be.
The supporting cast has a few memorable moments, but they are not developed enough to leave a lasting impression. Some side plots also distract from the main romance without contributing much to the overall story. The series would have been stronger if it had focused more on the emotional growth of the main couple rather than relying on repeated dramatic twists.
Despite these flaws, the performances of the lead actors remain the biggest highlight. Their natural chemistry keeps the story engaging even during weaker episodes. Their emotional scenes feel heartfelt, and they make the romance believable from beginning to end.
Overall, Love Has Fireworks is an enjoyable romantic drama with excellent lead chemistry, but it is held back by repetitive and sometimes boring drama. Fans of romance may still find it worth watching because of the strong performances and sweet moments, but those looking for a tightly written story may be disappointed. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 starsa fun romance with sparks, but not enough substance to keep the drama consistently interesting.

One of the best thai dramas to come out this year
When I saw the pilot for this drama, I was very excited. And after watching the series, it has blown me away and exceeded expectations.Story was very well put together, and the chemistry between the leads was PHENOMENAL. The looks they gave each other as well as the longing and yearning from both characters got me feeling a lot, cheering for their love and success. I definitely cried while watching too 😭
All actors tried their best and did a very good job even if you could tell they were amateurs. I am definitely the most impressed with Keng Harit. He proved to me that he isn’t just a pretty boy, but someone who can make me believe he is Paran. The fact that his actual personality is very different from his character says a lot.
Music is excellent and beautiful. I like the fact that they did not reuse the same music over and over and only use certain songs at certain points of the drama to create a dramatic/emotional effect. It's a plus that the actors themselves sing the songs.
A surprising part of the drama that impressed me are the effects for the ghosts. They were quite scary because they were not overdone, which lots of horror films tend to do.
Story is somewhat cliche but very well written and also had a twist in the end that surprised me. The ending of the drama that tied everything well together is what made this drama a 100/10. There were loose strings and we got a good ending, even if I wanted more LOL.
My only complaint is Khemjira's character. The actor did a pretty good job, but it was the written character itself that I had a problem with. His character was weak and meek, which was annoying at times. It would've been nice if he had more fight inside of him or more of a personality bc his character could be very boring and uninteresting. He is the definition of a damsel in distress and I'm not the biggest fan of such characters. BUT that's just me being picky and it wouldn't make me take away major points from the drama overall.
Rewatch value is 100/10. I've already rewatched this 5 times bc I felt empty after watching the series, not being able to find something that would fill in the empitness.
I would argue it's the best thai drama of the year!

Story wasn't bad but acting took me out of it
Production quality was good and story wasn't bad. However, the acting of JJ was falling short and took me out of the story multiple times. Especially in comparison with his co-star. JJ's emotions felt forced and unbelievable and his expressions awkward. It doesn't matter to me if the acting would fall short for the side actors, but since it's the main character, I was quite disappointed. I really wanted to enjoy this drama.If you want a historical thai story and you're not picky on the acting, you may enjoy this story.
Overall, I wouldn't watch it again or recommend it to others, but at least I gave it a shot.

Opposites attract
Loved this! They packed so much into 12 episodes. Having watched several of the BTS videos, I could tell that Poom worked so hard to fulfill his role as Wayu - the 'Host'.Because Poom and Up are so different - physically, temperamentality and facially - I think their pairing works very well, especially for this series.
The series had drama, comedy, love, sadness, emotion - the lot!
Little "Singto" stole the show a few times.
One of my favourites was Jai Sira - he was outstanding as Foei, the bar owner!
All the 'hosts' were fabulous! Their dance skills - of different genre - were perfect.
(one minor problem - I don't know who made the jacket for "Krit's "uniform in one of the last scenes, but they
really stuffed up)
I loved the closing scenes - even stiff old Dad got in on the dancing!
Rewatch value - 9

Heo Nam Joon That's it, That's All!
This is the kind of romcom I live for—funny, swoony, and carried by two leads who are endlessly charming. The early episodes are top‑tier comedy, with Seo Ri’s fish‑out‑of‑water chaos and Se Gye’s dramatic sincerity making every scene pop. Secretary Son is a comedic treasure, delivering lines like “zero‑gravity breathing” that had me howling. Even when the plot leans into fantasy tropes that make me roll my eyes—white truck of doom, convenient amnesia, soul‑swap martyrdom—the romance stays emotionally resonant. Episode 6’s kiss alone could power a small city.The show does stumble with its fantasy logic and a few baffling writing choices. The Joseon flashbacks raise more questions than answers, the grandfather is infuriating from start to finish, and Mun Do never gets the karma he deserves. Some conflicts feel forced, and one actress’s sudden sabotage of Seo Ri comes out of nowhere. But the emotional sincerity of Se Gye’s character, paired with Heo Nam Joon’s standout performance keeps the heart of the story. Seo RI & Se Gye's relationship is —sweet, funny, and quietly devastating at times—makes the journey worth it.
Despite the weird detours, I genuinely enjoyed the series. The comedy is sharp, the romance is swoon‑worthy, and several supporting characters (especially Gwang Nam and Secretary Son) add depth and charm. It’s not perfect, but it’s memorable, heartfelt, and full of scenes that made me laugh out loud. A romcom with flaws, sure—but also one with a whole lot of heart.
7/3/26

Unrequited Love Under the Summer Sky That Doesn't Drag
The first two episodes hooked me right away. I have a soft spot for high school crushes turning into romance, especially when there are unrequited feelings involved, and this series delivered that without wasting time. I was genuinely surprised that Saeki confessed in the very first episode instead of stretching it out for half the season.The story feels simple, light, and refreshing, focusing more on the emotions and awkwardness of adolescence than unnecessary drama. The chemistry between the leads is natural, the acting is convincing, and the soundtrack fits the youthful summer atmosphere really well. I'm always happy to watch another high school BL, and this one has already pulled me in.
I can't wait to see where the next ten episodes take their relationship.

Burden of Throne. "A Masterpiece on Screenplay"
Sit on this throne. Yes you will have power, yes you will have status, yes you will have authority. But no, you will never have peace.I think this is the only show that has ever truly depicted the burden of sitting on a throne during Five dynasties Ten kingdoms era. They took historical records, added a bit of fiction and drama and written a compelling story.
This truly deserves a 10/10. Why? Not only because of the screenplay but also the production, background score and an impeccable performance. This is not just a regular TV drama but a true experience of Chinese Five dynasties Ten kingdoms era history.
P.S: Of course, these historical figures weren't truely fighting only for common people. But I am sure that they were very conscious and tried very hard to bring a peaceful and a prosperous era so people won't suffer.

Short & Gold
This drama was a masterpiece! The characters were lively and expressed their feelings decently well! Even though there wasn’t the amount of standard episodes for a k-drama, the story didn’t feel rushed at all! The characters were able to easily process what was happening and didn’t just stand there like a deer in headlights.At first, I was a bit confused on why Gi-Seop moved in with Jinwoo. Though, as the show went on I gradually understood more. Jinwoo was adorable and his shyness made him a very likable character! He tried to often act like he didn’t care, but he really did and it gave him a special charm. Gi-Seop was one of those characters who were like, “so dumb it’s funny”. Was he actually dumb? No, but his character was hilarious. I really enjoyed how their relationship progressed throughout the story and I looked forward for more each episode.
To be honest, I wasn’t all that interested in the side couple. They didn’t hook me from the start and Balgeum kept running away from his feelings for Inho which made them quite frustrating to watch. Sometimes it also felt like Inho kept pestering Balgeum to meet him. I think that Balgeum’s overall character is amazing though. His friendship with Gi-Seop is top tier and he seems like a great person. Inho didn’t really get much screen-time unless it was with Balgeum.
This drama is a great short show for anyone bored and in the mood for something sweet!

First of all, I love the whole story of this series. I love everything from the casts, story, execution, music, and such. I was fascinated with the lead actors…I was mesmerized and in loved with their chemistry. It’s really one of the best k bl dramas to watch this year and I would definitely rewatch it soon. I badly hope for it to have their season 2 because it’s kinda short. After all, I hope the actors would still be in touch with each other. I love this series Was this review helpful to you?
Watching a wall would have been the same experience
Just not what it promised to be. "Thriller"? "Horror"?? Literally where were those elements? Thriller means heightened feelings of suspense, excitement or anxiety. But the only emotion you get from this show is boredom and slight frustration. Then, the horror. That genre is supposed to either disturb or scare you. Her killing were not shot in a repulsive or violent way, so it didn't feel unsettling at all. Finally, the romance. Here, they did in fact include romance. Was it good though? Not at all. A suicidal guy who spied on his neighbor and a serial killer is such a good premise to a dark romance show. Yet, they somehow made their relationship one of the most boring ones. At first, the ml is a low-key perverted guy who falls in love with the first beautiful woman he sees. And when he finds out she's a killer, while madly disturbed, he still pursues her. Then, suddenly he's talking about how that's not who she really is and how she can change. Prior to that, there was no development in their relationship. None of their scenes together felt like they had any substances to them. It was like watching two wets socks interact. The ending was the only thing I liked. Not the final scene, but the one before that, iykyk.Was this review helpful to you?
