Good modern drama

I've seen this show back in 2017 but recently im going back to all my cdramas to write reviews for all of them so sry if you keep seeing my reviews.

storyline:
I don't have a problem with the storyline and I think it's pretty good and has kept me interested throughout the show but there were some parts that was js really boring so i kinda of skipped through those parts.

cast: I
honestly love the cast, I've been a fan of tang yan and luo jin after watching their "my princess weiyoung". I think they both did a great job in this. However, the female lead in this played by tang yan is what we call a "sha bai tian" which means cute and a little dumb or slow and js some parts of the show made me cringe at her actions. (no hate)

My biggest shout out to dilireba, I absolutely loved how she portrayed her character, it felt real, relatable, and was hilarious. My eyes would light up everytime she was on screen! This role def challenged her and is different then the other characters she's played before. I did like her chemistry with luo jin as well.

overall, i think this show was worth my time and mostly I'll binge watch this when I'm craving some modern cdramas.

Exit is a breath of fresh air in the disaster genre.

Exit is an incredibly enjoyable experience, combining action, humor, and genuine emotional moments.

What makes this film unique is its inventive use of climbing and survival aspects, which sets it apart from standard disaster films.

The comedy works well, and the emotional conclusion is fulfilling without being overly dramatic.

What I Liked:
- The unique mix of action and comedy
- Lovable, down-to-earth main characters
- Creative use of climbing for the escape scenes
- Heartwarming family moments

What I Didn’t Like:
- The disaster’s cause is barely explained (but honestly, I didn’t miss it much)
- Some side characters could have used more development

Recommended for:
For those who enjoy disaster movies, action comedies, or anyone in the mood for a light-hearted film that combines heart and humor, this is perfect.

If disaster movies, action comedies, or a fun, uplifting film with a mix of heart and humor sounds good to you, then check this out.

Fans of disaster films, action comedies, and anyone wanting a joyful movie with both heart and humor will love this one!

never fair, never fleshed out

Never Fair is a straightforward short-form BL drama centered on childhood friends reuniting as adults. Visually, it’s appealing, and the chemistry between the leads is definitely present. For a series of this length, it makes a strong first impression with its setup.

however, where it falls short is in its character dynamics and execution. one of the leads comes off as overly controlling and possessive, and the story doesn’t provide enough time or depth to explore or justify that behavior. additionally, the first kiss happening while one character is intoxicated felt uncomfortable and poorly handled. for a relationship that’s supposed to be rooted in history and trust, the moment lacked the necessary emotional grounding.

the love triangle subplot also didn’t land—there was very little chemistry between the characters involved, and the conflict felt forced rather than organic. while short dramas often face limitations, many recent k-bls have proven that it’s possible to deliver a tight, emotionally satisfying story in under 10 minutes per episode. this one just didn’t quite get there.

there’s clear potential in the premise, and the series isn’t without its enjoyable moments, but ultimately, it left little lasting impact. it's a decent filler watch if you're not expecting much, but sadly, pretty forgettable overall.

It was ALMOST a great series

This was an extremely enjoyable series with so many plot twists & turns throughout, which kept it extremely interesting. Yeon Seok was fantastic, playing a character that showed a completing different size of him as an actor. He was a great mix with Soo Bin, who was also great as Hui Ju. The only thing that really made me rethink how great this series had become, was the final episode. I thought the story in episode 12 became completely foolish, showing us the reasons Sa Eon disappeared, leaving Hui Ju by herself for more than a year, it just didn't make too much sense, and didn't seem to fit with the rest of the series. It caused me to reduce my ratings on what was truly a great suspense series to that point.
Thankfully in the end, everything did turn out the way you were hoping it would, so all was corrected for. It gave a solid ending to a great series.

This is definitely not a romance

I can’t work out whether this is really good or not. So I gave it a 4.5.

The main reason for this is because our hero Li Wu lies all the time and though they play up to this, it really doesn’t serve the story that well. Both our male leads get stabbed, beaten and tortured way too much for any payoff to be really meaningful and you don’t get a clear understanding of why they’re doing what they’re doing.

I get it is based on historical events where no one is wholly righteous and the complicated political intrigued becomes nonsensical to the point of boring at points.

My favourite character is definitely Shu Tang (female lead of sorts) but we just don’t see enough of her.

The sisters redemption Arc is a bit weird because we don’t spend enough time understanding her relationships to care about her.

The Bromance is strong at the end, but I don’t see any reason why they don’t hate each other.

It’s not total rubbish, but I feel no satisfaction with any of it.

This will be easily forgotten.

Great humor with a touch of sadness

It's rare when a sequel turns out better than the original, but that's definitely the case here. While the original Ossan's Love in 2018 was really good, this continuation is great!
Never expecting it to bee so good, I just kept getting surprised with each episode. The comedy mixed with a little drama and sadness worked perfectly together, as did the amazing cast. Tanaka Kei & Hayashi Kento were a great blend, but without a doubt, Yoshida Kotaro as Musashi was just perfection in every scene. I'm so glad episode 9 changed the complete story line of how episode 8 ended, because no one wanted to see something happen to Musashi. The final episode really sealed the series up making it a great ending to go with a great series.

"A Nostalgic Tune of Youth, Memories, and Unspoken Feelings"

"Hello My Noisy MP3" is a beautiful blend of nostalgia, self-reflection, and youthful dreams. The drama masterfully weaves humor and suspense into a heartfelt journey that takes the audience from past to future, making every moment feel both relatable and deeply emotional. With an engaging cast and well-balanced chemistry, it explores the weight of choices, regrets, and the possibility of rewriting one's destiny. The concept of an MP3 connecting two versions of the same person-one struggling to chase her dreams at 18 and the other facing the harsh realities of adulthood-creates an intriguing dynamic that keeps viewers hooked till the very end.

Beyond its captivating plot, the drama leaves a lasting impression with its powerful message: What if we could talk to our younger selves? Would we change our past, or would we embrace our journey as it is? Through the FL's emotional interactions with her past self, the story beautifully conveys the importance of self-growth, perseverance, and cherishing every moment. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves a unique and thought-provoking take on time, fate, and the dreams that shape us.

My second favourite high school cdrama after wify

A moment connected to the soul will follow us for a lifetime. Always Home is more than just a youth drama-it's an emotional experience that stays with you. Every scene felt like a soft echo of life, of time passing, of growing up without realizing it. The drama didn't chase drama or forced resolutions; instead, it embraced stillness, silence, and the kind of subtle emotions that slowly sink into your heart. The ending left me hollow-not because it was incomplete, but because it was complete. So full of emotion that when it ended, I realized it had quietly become a part of me. The characters lived simple lives, yet the depth of their journey made it feel like I was living alongside them. It made me reflect, feel, remember, and long for something I couldn't name.

This is the kind of drama that reminds me why I love storytelling. The youth portrayed wasn't extraordinary, and that's what made it so real. Whether it was the uncertain smiles, the slight glances, or the unspoken moments, it all felt honest. The chemistry between the cast, especially Song Tong and Du Man, was so natural that it pulled me in completely. The way the drama blends family, friendship, and love-with soft lighting, a perfect soundtrack, and a deep emotional core-is what made it unforgettable. Always Home isn't just a story about youth; it's a reminder that even ordinary lives can be filled with extraordinary meaning.

This drama came to me at the right time. Watching it during this phase of my life-standing at the edge of change, wondering what lies ahead-made it even more meaningful. At 18, when everything feels uncertain yet full of possibility, this story felt like a quiet guide. I want to tell my future self: no matter how far you've come, don't forget these moments. The small ones, the still ones, the moments that quietly shaped you. Stay open-hearted, stay soft, and never stop finding pieces of yourself in stories like this.

Accidentally an Assassin? Yes, Please.

This was such a funny watch, like way funnier than it had any right to be considering it’s literally about a woman who quits her job and becomes a full-on assassin?? And yet, it was lighthearted, cute, and just all-around chaotic good energy.

So basically, Kanako gets fed up with her boring office job, says "peace out", and ends up trying to find a new gig. But instead of, like, becoming a barista or something, she accidentally joins a hitman agency. Relatable, right? Her first target ends up being her abusive ex-boss (karma is real), and she just... kills him, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. The boss of the agency sees her talent and is like, “Yep, you’re hired.”

The whole thing is played for laughs, classic Japanese comedy style, and somehow they pull it off. Like, murder but make it funny. The vibe is so absurd in the best way.

Every character was such a win. I even liked Hosomi, who is 100% a wild-eyed psychopath, but you kind of love him for it?? He’s just doing his unhinged little best. And then there’s Sakurai, the cold, emotionless killer guy who’s always threatening Kanako with “I’ll kill you” like it's his version of saying hi. But let’s be real, he’s totally soft for her. Their dynamic is so chaotic and entertaining, I couldn’t get enough.

Also, can we talk about the little animated animals that appear on Kanako’s shoulder to show how she’s feeling? Like??? Genius. She literally talks to them. They’re adorable and hilarious and honestly added so much charm to everything.

The show doesn’t take itself too seriously, which I loved. It’s sharp, quirky, and somehow makes being a contract killer seem like the most wholesome career pivot ever.

Overall I Loved it. Laughed. Would watch again. Chaotic energy.
Totally worth it if you're into comedy with a side of unexpected murder and animated emotional support animals.

A must watch cdrama, if you like light-hearted stories

Spring Burning is a heartwarming and intense journey that beautifully balances romance, hardship, and healing. At its core, it tells the story of two people-Qi Sheng Feng and Lu Ran-who fight not just for each other but also for the future they want to build together. The drama starts with pain and struggle, but it gradually blooms into a moving portrayal of trust, teamwork, and growth. The steel factory setting adds weight and realism, while their relationship brings softness and hope. Qi Sheng Feng's unwavering support and Lu Ran's strength were written so well, making the characters both relatable and memorable.❤❤❤❤

What truly sets Spring Burning apart is its ability to stay grounded while still delivering those sweeping romantic, emotional highs. The final episodes-especially the rooftop proposal with fireworks and loved ones around-felt like the perfect culmination of everything they endured. The OST, soft symbolism, and depth of their journey made this one of the most fulfilling love stories in recent times. It may not be as hyped as others, but Spring Burning gently, yet powerfully, burns its way into your heart.

And in the end, they didn't just find each other-they chose each other again, with love, with family, and with forever. Married once more, but this time with all the warmth, clarity, and affection they always deserved.

Message:
Spring Burning might not have the spotlight, but it carries a rare kind of depth and warmth. If you're looking for a drama that's emotionally rich, beautifully acted, and leaves you with a full heart-this one's truly worth watching.
