Favored the early winners too much
Let me just say that I rated this an 8.0 because I just loved the games they played, well, most of them anyway. Also, a lot of the players were very interesting and entertaining to watch. I was not rooting for Eunyu from the start (I was on Team Justin when I found out he was in The Umbrella Academy, LOL) but watching her go thru all of the prison games was very impressive and found myself rooting for her to win it all.Unfortunately, I don't think the writers/rule makers thought things through. It seemed to me that the winners of the first game ended up with a much higher chance of staying in the living quarters and reaching the finals. The main games heavily favored those with more pieces so this made it almost impossible for those in prison to improve their situation. Also, except for the hidden game, there was very little to no chance for those in prison to earn pieces. I mean, maybe they could have given them pieces after surviving their death matches? This eventually made the show quite predictable and, if I wasn't such a fan of the games, I would have dropped this somewhere around episode 4 or 5. It was also very disheartening to watch those with just a few pieces fight to win only to realize later that they don't have enough pieces to do so.
Hopefully, they improve their setup in the next season because I will still be here to watch it.

I adore this drama as it portrays real-life problems.
Nice unusual drama , not your typical rich boy poor girl trope, The story line isnt as straightforward as our leads arent the type who believe in love enough to fall so easily, they viewed marriage as an arrangement than based on love until their feelings got in the way. The lead characters were a bit layered to create depth to them so it was easy to see their development as the episodes progressed.One great thing about this drama is that the love story is not centered around the two leads but other supporting cast has a love story that was well detailed and progressed throughout the episodes so you wont be so bored with our main leads who are not as outspoken as the supporting casts.

So sweet
I can't say enough of how much i love them.The acting was perfect as usual. They were so good. 10/10 for their acting
I really appreciate that they used the same locations and car unlike most of the other shows.
I just felt that they were a little distanced from the JohanNorth from Fourever You, the way that they were behaving and all. Or maybe it's because am not used to see them like this.
Overall i really enjoyed this. My favorite part was when Johan got jealous of North's friendship with Arthit. I was giggling đź¤

Honestly had high expectations for this kdrama..
This was the most boring medical drama that I've ever seen. I don't know why they are bothering with another season. I get it, the theme is about them trying their best to be happy while also managing their job but if the drama is not interesting even after 3 to 4 episode it's really disappointing. It's just my opinion but I won't recommend this drama at all.This is not for everyone. They are just doing same thing in every episode which is so boring to watch. No good story at all, Also no plot . Even the chemistry of main lead wasn't good. Only the 5 friends chemistry was good . But they are repeating same thing in every episode.

This is not your typical kdrama you have to like this kind of genre to like this drama.
I tried, I really did. I think I tried because the characters are loveable and the acting is great but wow, the story is so boring! It put me to sleep every night. Nothing really ever happens except the same episode over and over. I kept waiting for something like a plot twist, a revelation of some kind but nope... They really needed some kind of story that tied the friends together, there was no villain. I mean, if you want to watch a show that helps you go to sleep at night, this would be a good one.Was this review helpful to you?
Of books, friendships and second chances.
Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. I guess I had high expectations, but this k-drama sort of fell a little flat for me. Predictable story line, and in all honesty there were no big problems throughout the storyline. Not a bad show, but I wasn’t getting excited to watch it like I have with other dramas.This show was pretty fun, but the romance didn't work for me. The age gap between the main leads was awkward. The characters were charming but the whole book theme was pretty heavy handed. Light and easy to watch, it was entertaining but it didn't stick with me.

Much better than the series, but not exciting...
The bad stuff first: Intel & nVidia placement. No gamer (who really calls himself that) would ever buy Intel in 2025 and no serious PvP Gamer would buy a 600W graphics card. The worst thing: We never see the "new" computer - and the "old" one neither, he only plays on his mobile. His computer was quite essential (for him) in the first season. The usual "funny" soundeffects are still annoying but where used less. And snow in LA is a bit stupid, but I'm sure they meant Boston.The good: They do not act childish most of the time, there is some seriousness behind their conflict. So at least they did mature. I hope, they keep that up in the 2nd season.
Overall: It's a nice special, but nothing stunning or emotional challenging. There is conflict, there is fluff and of course there is an tasteful intimate scene. I can say it was exactly what I expected.

Best series ever
This is my most favourite series ever (top 3 is this one, my mister and my dearest ).I have watched it at least 3 times already. I love all 3 couples. The first couple is so lethargic and introverts but still the sweetest. Love how their relationship grows. I love love the second couple. Both actors are special. I like Park Byung Eun and think he is adorable. He is great match with Esom. I like third couple although the girl is a bit spoilt and annoying. kim Minseok is great actor. Did great job at Mr plankton. He is always a screenstealer. Most of all, the star this show is Kim Sun Young, who is playing the mum. She is one of the best actresses in Korean series. So much talent. They normally put her on funny roles but here her character depiction is even deeper. The way she says 'her daughter is just as other kids, nothing special.' she does not want the inlaws to use her by saying how well behaved she is. Omg I loved it. Please watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Best touching, realistic love story I have ever watched.
The cinematography and the entire romance plot kind of let me see K dramas in a new light. It's way different and unique from the usual K dramas that we watch often. The female character had a very strong character development.I fell in love with her because she took the first initiative and showed her love for him without hesitating and thinking about the social taboos. I am totally satisfied with the plot and how the characters worked. I loved it. For me this drama will be one if those classic K dramas ever that got me hooked up front the beginning of the show.
Jung hae-in's acting was so good that it convinced me how versatile his acting skills are. And as for son ye jin being experienced and skilled fitted perfectly into the character.

This is one of my favorite korean series, which is close to my heart.
Lovely this drama. Must watch. Han ji min and jung hae in are so good together. Their chemistry is remarkable. Han ji min played her role to perfection. She emotes beautifully. Jung hae in is the cutest and most handsome actor I have ever seen. I liked the story line and the way they stood up together for their love. I wish jung hae in is cast in many more dramas in the years to come. Cant have enough of him. Love his smiling face . The ending of this drama was sweet and nice. A romantic,but at the same time practical drama.The entire cast was wonderful. The guy who plays her ex is also handsome. Would be nice to see more of him.
Overall enjoyed the drama a lot. Still in a state of euphoria since watching it this evening.

must watch xianxia
wow, i really don' t know why i delayed watching this show for such a long time.i used to think it was maybe really overhyped, but now that i have watched the entire thing i know for a fact the reason why it's still constantly talked about, extremely liked, and has thousands of fans all over.
it's a beautifully told love story that almost has the feel of a grecian tragedy in the ancient times. while watching, speaking from my experience, i really couldn't help but feel for all the characters.
everything about this show was beautifully written by the writers AND beautifully acted out by the actors.
forbidden love lore written SO good i had to take little breaks while watching and just take a little lap around my room.
i really have a LOT to say but feel like i almost shouldn't, because this show is truly something that should be experienced by the person watching, first hand.
10/10

Love it!
This is one of my favourite shows. I like it, not just for the BL factor, but it is a good series over all. I love both Title's. I watched both of their works after watching Remember Me. And they are both great in this show too. I like how script is genuine. Acting, writing, directing, cinematogt all very professional and sincere to show the human connection. Mean is possibly the most handsome guy in Thailand, but those terrible wigs couldn't take his charm. I loved the first couple too, I liked them in Be mine superstar, but Remember Me is a better show. Child actilors were also amazing! Kudos to rhe whole team. You can see the synergy.Was this review helpful to you?
This drama is simple, cute and addictive.
A nice story line - marred once again by a rushed last episode. The wish to tie up all the mini sub plots to a satisfying and happy conclusion. The last episode of this series felt surreal, as if the writers and directors had all become marijuana peace and love addicts. The two main protagonists of this love story became disjointed in the last episode. As if they didn't need to participate to any great degree and just go with the flow - loosing some of their romantic connections in the process, becoming disconnected hired actors again (maybe they were thinking of their next assignments?) .. Still, acting is good, music good. most of the episodes are great. Overall a comforting watch ...Was this review helpful to you?

DaouOffroad Are one of the Cutest Duos Ever ?
First of all I have to say that even though it’s only 8 episodes long it manages to pack so much charm, comedy, and heart in it. The story follows Phumjai (Offroad), a Thai guy head-over-heels for a Chinese influencer, Tammy. To win her over, he decides to learn Chinese and ends up partnering with Yang (Daou), a Chinese businessman looking to start a mini-mart in Thailand. Their initial interactions are filled with misunderstandings and bickering, but as they work together, their relationship evolves in the most heartwarming way. So this is kinda like a sweet take on an enemies-to-lovers just very sweet and lovely, it’s also a great take on one person fell first the other person falls harder, and it’s just done right. The chemistry between Daou and Offroad is simply electric as always. Their interactions feel so natural and genuine, making their romantic development incredibly satisfying to watch, while also making you feel warm inside. Their performances bring a depth to their characters that elevates the entire series to another level.So my overall impression and opinions is that, Love in Translation is a delightful blend of romance and comedy, brought to life by the incredible chemistry of Daou and Offroad. It’s a feel-good series that leaves you smiling and rooting for the characters. If you’re looking for a short, sweet, and utterly charming BL drama, this one is definitely worth your time.
