The Plot Hole make me concern

I watch because of Ma Lejie is slowly leaving her damsel in distress character and want to see Li Baiyan in another character. Both actor's acting are quite decent and has sufficient chemistry.

Actually this is a sweet story, but because I felt there were quite a few plot holes i really concern. Although the entire drama showcases how the ML cares for and loves the FL who has lost her memory, his repeated questioning of her alleged infidelity always left me confused. There is no further explanation from FL past beside FL was falling into the water.

She reverts to her 18-year-old self, experiencing a personality shift that leads everyone around her, including her husband, to suspect infidelity. ML is always questioning FL based on incomplete evidence. His explanation is that he can't accept her falling in love with someone else, but he should at least investigate!

You might watch it for the actors, but otherwise, it's just so-so. At least they didn't include the kidnapping scene lol.

I Live For SeaKeen's Chemistry

SeaKeen never fails to make me giggle every time they release a new BL series. I’ve been a fan since their first project, Only Boo, and their chemistry has always been electric. The way they look at each other says everything—you feel it.

Head 2 Head is another win for me, especially because it has the enemies-to-lovers trope, which I’m a total sucker for. SeaKeen + enemies to lovers? Absolute perfection. I also love that the characters are fashion design students instead of the usual engineering or medical students we’ve seen a hundred times in university-themed BLs. It feels refreshing.

The vibe reminds me a bit of Bad Buddy mixed with Magic Prophecy, but it’s not an exact copy. This series is also noticeably more mature than Only Boo—there are more kisses and even NC scenes, which makes sense since they’re older now.

Even though it’s classified as supernatural, the sweet moments between the main characters really stand out. Honestly, the supernatural is a vague aspect for me, but it was overshadowed by all the soft, romantic scenes and their undeniable chemistry.

SeaKeen just looks so good together—especially Keen. He's so cute. 🥺

As for the side couple, Van and Farm, they definitely have great chemistry, but their storyline feels kind of toxic. Farm is always jealous and sulky, though I can’t fully blame him since he saw Van kissing a girl at the bar. Still, if he can’t trust Van, maybe he should just walk away. Van, on the other hand, seems confused about his feelings—does he really love Farm, or is he just attached because Farm is always there? Those two things are very different.

Overall, the story isn’t a masterpiece, but I honestly don’t care. The main actors are my favorites, I love the enemies-to-lovers trope, and yes—I’m biased. And I’m completely okay with that 😌💙

Decent drama with weak emotional chemistry from Leads.

I was finding Lu Lulu drama with Ma Shiyao and found it with the sub after a while.

A story of a stoic special forces soldier versus a doctor.

The adopted daughter is the antagonist, ruthless and manipulative. ML's nephew is a scumbag with an inexplicable self-confidence. Lu Lulu's portrayal of the female lead is as dashing as ever, while Ma Shi Yao's portrayal of the male lead appears younger than her. The core plot revolves around a sweet, mutual love story, but the emotional tension between the leads still weak. Plot is quite fast pace.

Those who enjoy misunderstandings resolved and reconciliations, and who can accept antagonists driving the plot and relatively mild romantic interactions between the leads, might find it worth watching.

Honestly, I never thought I’d end up liking this series so much. With his pride wounded, the insecure Minato swears he’ll make Shizuma fall for him after Shizuma doesn’t remember the night they spent together. That’s how their journey of healing and growth begins.

Minato has to learn that he deserves love, stability, care, and safety, that being vulnerable isn’t weakness. Meanwhile, Shizuma needs to realize that loving someone doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself completely. Some people might find the pacing of the series slow, but for me it was perfect. The characters need time to feel safe, seen, and protected, and that takes respect, care, and above all, patience.

Finding true love means finding someone who respects your feelings, understands your fears and insecurities, faces them with honesty, sees you at your lowest, and even then still chooses to be present at all times and stay by your side every day.

The chemistry between Kida Naoya (Mito Minato) and Tomita Yuki (Ikushima Shizuma) was just adorable. They’re absolutely charming and won me over from the very beginning.

Lu Lulu could be Princess of Republican Drama

I thought it was just a Republican-era version of Yu Yin Good Girl's but after watching it, I realized it's only similar in framework, the core is completely different!

The cinematography and atmosphere are beautiful. Lu Lulu perfectly embodies the character, and her makeup and styling are also extremely beautiful, she truly has the feel of a Republican-era heiress (Maybe she could consider to be Queen of Republican drama since she has Classic Aura).

FL's sixth sister is truly ironic. Despite being a victim of feudal ethics, she didn't try to resist, yet she became a perpetrator. Perhaps this was the fate of countless tragic people in that cannibalistic era.

The female lead, though struggling, stands tall and pure, clever and cunning, striving to absorb all available strength and knowledge to resist feudal oppression. The male lead is her only chance to break free from her cage.

It was nice to see Chen Si in not usual CEO role. ML is definitely love-struck; he has never questioned the female lead for a moment. The only time he lost his temper was when the female lead wanted to die together with him, and he cried and asked her if she had thought of him even for a second.

I wish they could tell ML Family backstory more since they look so warm compared to FL family and also FL after joining ML family is interesting to know.

Recommended to watch.

Best female friendship story ever!

OK I was angry when i watch this not because this drama sucks but it has great plot but the actors are mid-tier and few of them are newcomers. Maybe its their luck to met well developed plot.

The two couples' storylines are well-balanced, the two female leads are adorable, and the two male leads are all well-developed characters. The original FL was not appear in here and i waited for season 2 for continuation.

I don't really enjoy male leads acting especially Xiang Shuai's acting was so stiff, the performance was too contrived, even his delivery of lines sounded awkward. But for the girls i prefer to see Li Jinyi acting even there is scene when she looks awkward but for romantic scene He Lingyao wins over all of the leads.

Recommended to watch if you want to see female friendship.

The Shein version of W Two World

The premise is that the female lead travels between a comic book and reality to save the male lead basically carbon copy of K-Drama W Two Worlds (2022).

The plot is not smooth enough, actors' acting is average, the dubbing is very uncomfortable to listen. I watched this with 1,25x speed since it was not too engaging as K-Drama. The plot felt rushed as it progressed, with the romance and rebirth storylines feeling like they were fast-forwarded, as if they were rushing to finish because they didn't have enough time. It wasn't explained whether the FL stayed in that world forever, or whether the ML could leave or travel freely.

Overall, it's somewhat watchable, but not top-tier. Those who like Zhang Shan and Wang Xuan might consider to watch this.

Maybe I am not into this CP.

I watched Wang Haozhen-Hou Chengyue second collab and it was the best of their other works but never be my favorite pair from the both actors.

The ML's scheme is long term planned; the female lead falls in love after an arranged marriage. It's a sweet and angsty story with no angst. Both have good personalities, are straightforward, and their love is decisive. There's no SFL because it's impossible. The male lead is a perfect character; no woman other than the female lead could get close to him.

The chemistry between the leads is there, the sweetness is enough, there are no villains, and no melodramatic plot twists, but it's just too bland and boring. The leads character is not engaging and they dont have magic to charm me. It's a very ordinary romance between two extremely wealthy people, with almost no conflict from beginning to end.

It's not my cup of tea of Wang Haozhen sweet works. Maybe their solo fans will enjoy instead.

I love dark romances because they dive deep into human nature, almost like emotional and philosophical laboratories, exposing the most vulnerable and contradictory sides of who we are. To My Shore turned out to be one of the best dark romance series I’ve watched in a long time, completely surpassing my expectations.

It’s an intense drama that blends obsession, morality, and redemption, standing out thanks to its complex characters who shift between emotional fragility and calculated manipulation. The story is gripping and unsettling, keeping me hooked from the very first episode to the last. The tension never let up, it only grew stronger with each episode, making me anxious to see what would happen next.

Fan Xiao is toxic, obsessive, and controlling, but as the series unfolds we realize this is his way of protecting himself. Behind all the manipulation lies deep insecurity, a mask for his inner wounds. At his core, he’s a lonely, emotionally scarred man who didn’t even know what love was until he met You Shu Lang. But You Shu Lang isn’t perfect either. He also shows signs of obsession and control, and beneath his calm, rational exterior there are clear fragilities and limits that make him just as human and complex.

The performances were excellent across the board, but it’s the chemistry between Yun Qi and Hao Yi Ran that truly steals the show. Their acting was flawless, brilliant, charismatic, and emotionally magnetic. Every emotion felt raw, genuine, and moving. The production itself was beautifully crafted, with attention paid to even the smallest details, and the soundtrack tied everything together perfectly. The ending left me wanting more, so I really hope we’ll see them back on screen soon.

Sharp Tongues, Soft Hearts: Head 2 Head and the Beauty of Emotional Slow Burns

Head 2 Head (Thai: ไหนใครว่าพวกมันไม่ถูกกัน) is a 2025 Thai BL series from GMMTV that starts out loud, chaotic, and sharp, then quietly grows into something far more heartfelt than you expect. Built around the familiar rivals-to-lovers setup, the series mixes campus life, humour, romance, and a touch of the supernatural to tell a story about two people who clash constantly, yet are far more connected than either of them is ready to admit. At its heart, the show asks a simple but emotionally loaded question: what if the person you can’t stand is actually the one you can’t lose?

Jerome, or “J,” and Jinn are well known around campus for their constant bickering, competitive streaks, and unmistakable tension. They cross paths everywhere — same classes, same social circles, even next-door neighbours — making their rivalry impossible to escape. Things take a sudden turn when Jerome begins having disturbing visions of Jinn’s death, followed closely by an accident that leaves Jerome recovering under Jinn’s care. As they’re forced into closer proximity, the sharp edges of their relationship begin to soften. Through quiet moments, emotional honesty, and shared vulnerability, it becomes clear that their lives — and feelings — have been intertwined all along. As the future Jerome fears draws closer, both men are pushed to face not just their emotions, but the cost of staying silent and the courage it takes to choose each other.

Directed by New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul with a screenplay by Inthira Thanasarnsumrit, the series is led by Sea Dechchart Tasilp as Jerome, a loud, competitive presence hiding a deep fear rooted in his visions, and Keen Suwijak Piyanopharoj as Jinn, whose sharp wit slowly gives way to warmth and emotional steadiness. Their performances anchor the show, supported by a strong ensemble cast including Surf Patchara Silapasoonthorn as Farm, Java Bhobdhama Hansa as Van, JJ Chayakorn Jutamat as Mai, and a set of parents who bring warmth, humour, and grounding energy to the story.

I’ve followed Sea and Keen since their first pairing in Only Boo, so naturally I didn’t miss this one, even with its late Sunday-night timeslot. I was immediately drawn in by the first episode — their banter is quick, sharp, and genuinely entertaining, and seeing them play such different roles felt refreshing. This is the kind of series that sneaks up on you. It begins as something light and chaotic, and before you realise it, you’re emotionally invested. The episodes are short and the editing can feel abrupt at times, but honestly, the Jerome–Jinn dynamic makes it easy to forgive.

What makes Head 2 Head stand out is how it balances its tones. It’s a slice-of-life romance with supernatural elements, but it never lets those elements overshadow the emotional core. As the series progresses, the story grows heavier and more intense, yet it never loses its warmth or sense of fun. The shift feels natural, giving the narrative more depth without sacrificing its charm.

Jerome and Jinn are chaotic in the best way possible. Their rivalry is loud, messy, and filled with tension, but it quickly becomes clear that what looks like hostility is really just unresolved attraction. Every argument, every glare, every attempt to outdo the other feels charged with feeling. The show may label them as each other’s nightmare, but what you actually see is two people whose worlds quietly revolve around one another. Whether they’re arguing, racing, or simply sharing the same space, it’s always them — against each other and with each other.

The darker elements of the story are handled with care. The visions and dreams aren’t used as cheap shock tactics; instead, they slowly reshape the emotional tone of the series. Jerome’s decision to keep the truth from Jinn becomes its own source of tension, and while his reasoning is understandable, watching him carry that fear alone is quietly painful. Some viewers may find the dream sequences repetitive, but they’re meant to build on one another. Each vision adds weight, making the threat feel more real and more suffocating as the story unfolds.

The second couple, Van and Farm, adds another emotional layer to the show. Van’s self-destructive tendencies and unresolved grief make him difficult but compelling, while Farm’s patience and quiet devotion make their dynamic deeply affecting. Their relationship is messy, intense, and emotionally charged, and while Van’s actions are often frustrating, the writing never excuses them — it simply makes them understandable. That consistency in characterisation is one of the show’s biggest strengths.

Mai deserves special mention as the perpetually third-wheeling friend who somehow becomes the group’s voice of reason, and the parents — especially the mums — bring a warmth that grounds the story. Their presence adds balance and reminds you that love and care exist beyond romantic relationships.

The music is another highlight. The OST fits the story perfectly, especially “Turns Out It’s You,” which captures Jerome and Jinn’s emotional journey with startling accuracy. The other tracks, including “Secret Crush” and “Not a Crush?”, mirror each character’s inner world beautifully, while the background music quietly enhances key moments.

Performance-wise, the cast delivers across the board. Keen continues to impress with his emotional range and subtlety, while Sea shows noticeable growth, balancing playful energy with emotional vulnerability. Java and Surf bring strong chemistry to the second couple, and the supporting cast adds humour, warmth, and depth. Visually, the series benefits from a warm colour palette and atmospheric cinematography, though the editing can feel choppy at times, particularly in the latter half. The supernatural storyline could have been woven more smoothly, and the pacing occasionally rushes key moments, especially near the end.

Despite its flaws, Head 2 Head left a strong impression on me. It’s sincere, emotionally grounded, and deeply character-driven. The series takes its time, allowing its characters to struggle, reflect, and grow, which makes the emotional payoff feel earned. It’s not perfect, but it’s heartfelt, memorable, and surprisingly comforting. This is the kind of show you find yourself returning to, simply because you miss the characters and the world they inhabit.

A must-see for action fans

I'll admit, I struggle with excessive violence and fighting. That said, if you are a true action fan, I can almost guarantee that you will love Taxi Driver 3.

I love the cohesiveness of the cast, after three seasons, we can really feel their love and respect for one another (thank you again for not adding romance). The humor in this show is spot on and not over the top. The group has funny conversations that you would hear in real life. The actors are all terrific. The ML, especially. He's stoic, but you can tell that he deeply feels things.

The cases were pretty interesting and I always enjoy seeing how their plans come to fruition.

The last two episodes were especially intense. I was glued to the TV. I think it was so engrossing because that's a reality that South Koreans have to live with. All it takes is one power-hungry crazy person to start a war.

SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
The only question I had was, at the end, there's no sign of the ML. All the Rainbow Taxi people seem to be depressed. The FL is at her desk crying. I was thinking that they killed him off. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. So, I still don't know why she was crying.

I loved the concert at the end when they had the people from all the cases there. That was very special. And, after mentioning how Lee Je Hoon was so stoic throughout, I loved the very last scene with his longer hair and beautiful smile directed toward the camera (and the no shirt thing was an added bonus!). I thought that was the perfect ending.

Loved it

Really liked this one. I was aware of it when it came out in 2023 but failed to watch it until now, 2026 and I am glad that I did. A very lovely series. Well done to all. Loved the comraderie amongst the 5 friends plus one. The friendship between the local and Seoul policeman was adorable. Kim Bo Ra as Mi Ran was great as usual. Loved the two main characters. Just enough mystery to sustain the viewing. The romance was sweet. Noted that Baek Do’s mum, played by the ever wonderful Jang Young Nam was Dong Seoul’s (Kim Tae Jung) mum in Crash Course in Romance. Baek Do’s two brothers were hilarious. Overall a great cast and story.

What a joke

I have no idea why there are such rave reviews for this. This show is the most cringe,weird,low budget show i have ever seen 🤣🤣🤣 this show is a literal joke 🤣🤣🤣 it seems like a 12 year old h***y kid wrote this. The dude looks so uncomforatable and awkward the whole time,the girl is an ok actress dont get me wrong but the guy is horrible and the script is just hilarious. The crazy mom is hilarious too and the fact they added a random kid to the script so it wouldnt progress TOO fast because there was a kid around 🤣🤣 This seems like one of those 10 minute steamy mini dramas that desperate people watch when they are single. I have literally never seen such cheesy writing in a normal length show. Even the music is so freaking cheesy its worse than a mini drama. I kept pushing through for like 10 episodes waiting to see why everyone raved over it. Im laughing half the time and cringing the rest of the time. I thought i had seen some bad dramas but this one TAKES THE CAKE. I swear i am going to finish this just for the laughs at how bad it is 🤣🤣
