It's mid. After ep9 I don't like. Not a romcom
I started watching it because I like Seonho. The actors are good. I saw some reviews saying that halfway through the drama it became bad, so I hesitated to keep watching. And I really didn’t like it toward the end. It was supposed to be a rom-com, but it felt like a horror movie. I didn’t understand why it took such a turn. Thankfully, the acting makes up for it.Was this review helpful to you?

Not the Light Rom-Com I Expected
I had high expectations for this drama because I love both lead actors and I’m a big fan of romcoms. I really enjoyed the first episodes, they were engaging and promising, but around the middle, my interest started to fade. I think the main issue was the shift from a light romcom to a more unsettling, psychological tone. In other contexts, I might have appreciated this change, but here it felt unnecessary. I was hoping for something sweet, comforting, and carefree, like old school romcoms such as Hometown Cha Cha Cha, especially after so many heavy K-dramas released this past year.That said, putting my unmet expectations aside, I still think this is a good drama overall. The cast is excellent, the actors are both talented and charming, and the story is worth finishing. I did expect a bit more chemistry between the leads, but perhaps the darker subplot affected that emotional connection.
I still recommend giving it a watch!

The concept is so unique
I just loved the acting of Lu YuXiao and Hao Minghao….The characters were on point and even credits to Situ Ling for the incredible performance…..there is a lot of on screen and off screen chemistry between Ming Yi and Ji Bozai…The story is very unique and the FL starts as a strong woman and even ends the drama as a strong woman unlike most dramas….Ji bozai is to die for…his love for her is just incomparable to anyone else….they stood for each other at all times and I definitely could rewatch it a 100 timesI just loved the ML character..very flirty but yet loyal to only Ming Yi
It’s a must watch show and I am still not able to move on from this drama♥️
Lu Yixiao and Neo hao are such underrated actors and their off screen as well as on screen chemistry is on point

S3 revenge and justice stories were pretty good
I love S1 and S2 and I thought they set up the villains and stories pretty good for the audience to hate the villains and root for those that hire the premium taxi service. There's no overarching story this season so there's plenty of fresh stories that the Taxi crew can get on top of.Yes, it's incredibly unrealistic and definitely exaggerated but they make the series funny and the cast has good camaraderie. The plots feel resolved, except for maybe the last one. Felt like they could have done more but it's not enough to tarnish this season. Hope we get S4.

Best Romance for me This Year
This year was a year of amazing romance dramas, but this one really did something to my heart and I have revisited favorite scenes countlessly since. The chemistry between Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao was electric. Their glances, the build up of their story was completely and utterly believable. The writer took the time to build their story. You could feel one falling for the other and then the other one after. You could feel their struggles, the guilt, the desire, the sacrifice, the passion. It's not always about the kissing scenes --but the scenes were SO beautifully done you could feel the build-up and complexity of each of their kisses. I loved this drama and thought the story was really well-written, executed, and it also wrapped up well -- no small feat for a C-drama. My favorite romance costume drama for 2025.Was this review helpful to you?
Is the Moth and the Butterfly finally together end?
I binge-watched the part 2 in one day.It was confusing at first on what was happening but it all fell into places soon. By the episode 2 , it was quite predictable on what was going to happen. Still enjoyable yet haunting .
If you have weak soul, be prepared with tissues for the ending.

Under the Aurora
Can This Love Be Translated shines brightest in its first six episodes.Those episodes are beautifully restrained—rich cinematography, quiet tension, and two people holding back while secretly wishing the other would stay. Episode 6 is the emotional peak. With his unresolved crush suddenly back in his life, the ML drifts, confused and unsure. The FL, already in love, steps back and roots for his happiness, even when it hurts.
Yet after the “accident”, at dawn, it is the FL he reaches out to.
The aurora scene says everything without words. Her relief that he is safe, his choice to share that moment with her, and their desire to stretch time just a little longer—this is where the drama feels most honest and alive.
The second half loses that clarity and emotional precision. But the feeling left by those early episodes lingers—rare, aching, and unforgettable—reminiscent of Crash Landing on You or Twenty-Five Twenty-One.
For that one night under the aurora alone, this drama is worth remembering.

It’s been a long time since I let myself fall so deeply into a drama, finishing all the episodes in one breath. Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung were simply mesmerizing. Their chemistry, their presence, their expressions — everything felt iconic and unforgettable. The two-year wait was not wasted.
The OST blended seamlessly into every scene, amplifying every emotion. The cinematography was beautiful, the dialogue meaningful, and the characters alive. This drama didn’t just entertain me — it stayed with me. Without hesitation, this stands as my top K-drama of the year so far.
This is my verdict:-
• Chemistry: 1000000000000 / 10
• Storyline-Script: 10/10
• Direction: 10/10
• OST: 10/10
• Performances: 100/10
• Cinematography: 100/10
• Rewatch Value: 1000/10

When silence becomes too loud
I went in not really knowing what to expect, and that slightly disoriented feeling stayed with me the whole time. It’s the kind of film that lives more in moods and silences than in clear answers, and that’s both its strength and its limit. Some moments genuinely pulled me in, especially the way sound and discomfort are used to create tension. Others felt a bit underdeveloped, like the movie was more interested in the idea than in fully exploring it. Still, it lingered with me after the credits, and that says something.Was this review helpful to you?
Overall decent, with some interesting cases, but a drop from the prior season
I enjoyed the first season, as the show felt distinct, even if the Shen Yi character at times seems to be a human version of the famed "Enhance!" button trope. The relationship between the two leads was at the heart of that show, and given the way their relationship evolved so dramatically in the first season, it wasn't clear how the relationship would work in a second season.And, honestly, the relationship didn't work. Shen Yi just goes in his own direction, leaving Du Cheng and friends to guess what the heck he is up to. While the acting performances are all solid, the script just breaks the two apart in ways that wouldn't make a lot of sense for people who supposedly take their jobs seriously. As a consequence, some of the resolutions for cases are disappointing, particularly the case with the psychopath girl.
The cases themselves were generally interesting to analyze, although the grand finale is tedious. That's the case where we go even deeper into Shen Yi's head, and by the end I was just annoyed with the star cop of Beijiang, the guy who makes this cop show unique. There is a cliffhanger ending, and I'm not that interested, because while the stand-alone plots generally have been good, the over-arching mythology plot looks maxed-out to me.

Awful can't describe it
Things I liked1 The second couple. They were the highlight of the show and that's why i gave it 2. Otherwise it should be minus 100.
2 The editor. She should be the heroine with another male actor. That series I would watch anytime. Gorgeous, talented, great character.
Things I hated
1 Everything else.
2 The ML. What an unattractive untalented actor. There was no chemistry with the FL and it was creepy seeing them together. I have no idea if there is a big age gap between them but to me it seemed there was. He has no redeeming qualities, he's no green flag, he's red flag all the way. Controlling and without anything to like. I think he goes to the top of the actors I never want to see again.
3 The FL. What a stupid character and the actress didn't do it any favors. She isn't a good actress and she played the clueless stupid damsel in distress in a way that I wanted to scream. Why on earth would she fall in love with that controlling idiot? No backbone whatsoever. A terrible example for any woman out there.

Can my love for this kdrama be translated?
We had a movie and a short reality show inside a serie, well mixed genres, two couples, three countries, incredible plot twists...and it all kept being well connected. Could not ask for more.As somebody who enjoys mainly rom-com and had high expectations for this particular kdrama, it ended up being the best serie i have ever seen (Mind you, I've watched over a hundred).
The way that it smoothly moved between all of the things I've mentioned starting this review, while still keeping the sense of the storyline and esence of it all, is just something amazing.
Music selection was not only accurate but also included as part of the scenes. The story was fun, unique and also deep, with incredible plot twists keeping you on your toes. The romance was sweet but real as well. The characters and their interactions were so well written it must be a genius work. So many quotes from the script deserve to be highlighted. Scenary was beautiful, while the visual style and cinematography as a whole was simply fabulous.
Whoever wants to watch a masterpiece of something beautiful and romantic, but with some other interesting surprises in the middle, you will never regret watching this. Absolute cinema

It drove me crazy for sure
Things I liked1 The trope Best Friends to Lovers is my favorite so I had hope that it would be deep, funny, or even mildly interesting. It was none of the above. They didn't develop any of the characters and it was boring and nowhere romantic or sweet or funny. A total failure.
2 The ML. Unfortunately for him he was paired with an actress he had no chemistry with and it ruined everything. He is a good actor though and I'd love to see more of his work.
Things I hated
1 The FL. What an unattractive, cold, untalented actress. I didn't feel anything for her and I wanted so much the ML to step away from her. She tried to be cute, she isn't. She tried to be deep, she isn't. She was awful as much as the script.
2 How they ruined the trope and didn't develop the characters or the story. They could have a perfect rom com they created a bland uninspiring story.
