Lawyers in Corporate Basically
This drama centers around a law firm and a team of lawyers working in a specific section of the firm. Each episode focuses on one case. It also depicts the lives of the lawyers. The main female lead and the male lead work in the same team, and the female lead is a junior who recently joined. Their family lives are also a major part of the drama, along with stories involving their relatives and friends. Honestly, I see this more as a workplace dynamic drama than a love story. It hints at romance between the leads, but very subtly. The whole drama is more about law-related cases. It's a well-made show with good acting and storytelling. If you enjoy workplace law dramas, this is definitely one to watch.Was this review helpful to you?

When Destiny brings the plot holes & 0 logic
This is going to be a short one bcuz I’m that disappointed. Series started off good, but as soon as a time skip happened every bad quality becomes so front & center. Way too many plot holes & bad writing. Leads ares fun & the first few ep are pretty interesting. Latter half is so meandering & full of ridiculous writing it doesn’t work. EG Demons want to kill ML to get rid of magic barrier, but also want his blood to revive their Demon Lord. But the ML will dissipate when he dies, a common knowledge everyone knows. Skip if you can’t handle things like this.Was this review helpful to you?

Short, Thoughtful, and Underrated
This mini drama may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I personally found it refreshing and interesting. In the earlier episodes, you will probably feel confused about the how and why of the story. However, as the episodes progress, the answers you have been waiting for slowly get revealed.Restarted Love is definitely for viewers who enjoy deep and thought-provoking stories. It is not your usual light watch, but something that makes you reflect as the plot unfolds.
For me, it stands out as one of the hidden gems among short C-dramas. If you are into meaningful storytelling packed in a short format, this is worth giving a try.

They got lost in the genre
In 12 episodes you'll see: Drama, family, romance, violence, laws, Melodrama, corruption and some other genres.But for me, they wanted to put all the genres together, but they didn't focus on any of them, but rather brushed them up. It seemed to me that drama was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
The stories in each chapter were well developed, but the overall story seemed to me that none of them were properly developed as a whole and this don't give me satisfation.
I didn't know what to expect when I started watching, but I was a little disappointed. I would have liked them to develop the main stories as they did in the chapters.

Lovers to enemies to lovers done well
God, the chemistry between the leads is so good. I loved seeing them interact with each other. The story is fun as well. There's a little bit of everything in here. I highly recommend watching this. If you are hesitant to start or put off by the whole 'turning into a child' thing in the first couple of episodes, don't be. It does not last long, and it's explained why that happens. Tbh, I don't really have any negatives. If I wanted to nitpick, I'm sure I could find things to point out, but I got what I wanted: a fun story about generals, their life, their love, their responsibilities, their hate, and most importantly, a satisfying ending.Was this review helpful to you?
A warm, soothing, calming drama with captivating story line and casts
First of all I repeat all the scenes where the nature shows its beautiful, warm, cozy and soothing characteristics. Every scenes, the cinematography, portrayed so beautifully that I repeat them countless times. The color pallets were amazing.The previous storylines will definitely take you in your teenage phase. I immersed so much that suddenly I started feeling that I am in my school. It was so beautifully portrayed by the young actor actress. The innocence, the shyness, the excitement and finding happiness in little things all were there.
And of course the tremendous acting by Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo Hee will catch your attention and keep you engage in the whole episode. There are many turns, phases, unfolded emotion will come up in the next episodes.
Really excited for the next episodes.

Truly a masterpiece
I mean where do I start from acting , plot to CGI all were great .not your typical enemies to lover , loved jinan but prince Annan has has own charisma wished they showed more of him , I guess jinan was prince Annan's true self but he didn't show it , understanble he is a general after all.
loved the supernatural element with the man in black , at the end when he went to wuling mountain to get jade linlong back and the fight scene with taijin forces after that was great.
hated the taijin's crown prince in most of the show 😤 , but after he saved li Shaung and lure aodeng to be with her , he is forgiven 😅
loved the ending, thought for a moment it was a sad one , glad it turned out this way but I missed qiao though wished they didn't kill he off 😢
the scene when she woke up and pretended to forget who she is and who he was I was like not this again 😂 I wanted them to remember each other and have a happy ending.

Sadly Lacking
I wanted to like this drama SO MUCH! I was eagerly awaiting something like an exotic travel location, a sweet romance, or some kind of intrigue, but it fell flat on all three. Every episode felt like a slog, but I kept plugging away, only because the ML is handsome and I was anticipating at least one of the above. It just never happened. I didn't hate it, but I was disappointed, and would be hesitant to recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?

Xu Kai acts his cotton socks off in this drama
What I love about this drama is how the main characters grow and develop.Xu Kai plays 2 roles brilliantly. The first, Yue Jin Zhao, is an innocent who is very protective of the FL and the second Bian Luo Huan is his maker. At one point I was sobbing at the sacrifice Bian Luo Huan makes in order to save everyone.
Ester Yu is typecast as Yue Qi a sweet and adorable girl who loves to eat noodles and is endlessly hungry. Unfortunately, for me, she’s just a bit too sickly sweet - I’d have loved to see her tone it all down a bit, to be honest.
The story follows the FL and ML as they investigate where they’ve come from and along the way they not only uncover their beginnings but help to restore law and order across their land.
The support cast are really good and Jia Nai Na, who plays a demon, and another one (who has worked with XK in the past) is Liu Min and they were firm favourites of mine.
Production, costumes and action were all brilliant but Ester Yu was too sickly sweet for me.

Good drama
This is an entertaining drama. My only issue is that I have a hard time following the political plot. I think there are too many characters in the palace background. Other than that this is pretty entertaining and I love the food aspect! There’s also a historical aspect that I enjoy, where the main character mentions political events in the past that she is aware of.I guess the drama writers are making this king look a lot better than he was IRL. I guess he’s Korea’s “Ivan the Terrible” hahaha.

It had it's elements of good and bad
A quite straightforward story with not so much of depth or twists but great acting and enjoyable. The connotation of films and how those were showcasing the emotions of the drama characters in that moment was my favorite part of the drama.Each characters felt quite typical. They had character developments but it was not explored in depth. But I liked how things never went too toxic. Some parts felt too mono but some left me surprised. However I liked how they didn't make it all happily ever after. It showed how life is unpredictable. The plot lacked depth and motives. I was more into the side characters than the main couple as I found their story quite unique.
The cinematography was pleasant to watch. The direction was smooth and not rushed. Acting wise it was great. They all embraced their characters.
It is definitely worth watching but at the same time might not be fully satisfying in the modern age of Thai BL. Overall I liked the cinema element. It was refreshing in the timeline this was made.

Wasted potential
Twelve was the first drama that i decided to follow real time after having joined the kdrama bandwagon in nov-dec last year. I liked PSH from Dr. Slump and also Ma Dong-seok's involvement got me really hyped. I did like the theme of eastern zodiacs and the universe they intended to build with it... but unfortunately it doesn't land. The show lacks in direction and screen presence of actors required for a fantasy. IMHO that is the biggest flaw. The writing with repeated scenes and dialogues does not really establish any real connect with any of the characters. The ritual stuff they do appear cartoonish, the character of Samin is a bore, repeated fight scenes drag out. Writers couldn't get the viewers to root for any of the characters incl Tae-san. I was fascinated by PSH's look but that's that... he serves looks but has hardly done anything substantial yet. Maybe i'll simply watch an uncut of his scenes much later :/ I feel bad for the actors for they deserved better with a hyped up show but unfortunately, it is what it is.Was this review helpful to you?
It's not really for you if you're here for the plot
Enjoy ajojing banget nontonnya, terutama mulai pertengahan kedua eps 5 karena udh mulai dapet mood sama state of mind yang pas buat nonton series ini hihiiii alhasil MANTEP BANGETTT ENJOYYYYY FULL KETAWA LEPASSSS, paling ada beberapa scene yg terharu atau agak terenyuh.Super easy to digest, nyaman banget nontonnya. Mau ketawa, mau naik kapal, mau tonjok²an, mau salting²an ADAAAAAA!!!! ada tegang²nya sama terharu²nya yang menurut aku sisipannya pas dan masuk banget diantara kerusuhan super kocak di season 2 ini, jadi tetep ada recall ke season 1nya. Rasanya kyk nonton episode spesial aja dripada season 2, isinya fan service ke famdom dari seriesnya, buat liat kelanjutan atau after event dri cannon event season 1nya, jdi aku rasa memang sengaja dibuat super santai, masih nunjukin gimana kelanjutan friendship main characternya, masih bareng, makin deket, ketemu orang baru, masih doing some work for humanity juga.
I could feel all the cast enjoyed the filming sooooooooo much, keliatan banget di seriesnya. Yang nonton seneng, castnya sama crewnya juga enjoy, everyone happy. Kyknya banyak addlib yaa di series ini wkwkwkwkwk sma ada yg aku rasa itu blooper tpi yang malah sengaja dimasukin awokwokwokwokwok.
Apakah akan aku rewatch??? ofcccc!!!

Not Ester Yu’s usual character type - hurray!
Originally I began watching this because of ZLH but was pleasantly surprised that EY was not playing an airhead which was very refreshing and her character was totally believable.The plot follows two female spies from the evil and vicious Wufeng sect that infiltrate an introverted and mysterious sect controlled by the Gongs who specialise in lotions, potions and poisons only to find that the second son has suddenly become the sect leader upon the death of his father and heir apparent elder brother. Their aim is to destroy Gong so that Wufeng can proceed with its plan for world domination.
The FL starts to fall for the ML as she helps him to conquer physical obstacles, his family members and the elders who don’t want him as their leader. He gains in confidence and their relationship grows and she confesses to being by his side with a mission to kill him and help destroy the sect. Due to their honesty (he lets her see how little confidence he has, how unhappy he was to be made the ruler and how he longs to return to being the ‘spare’. She tells him how she longs for her freedom and to break free from her contract with Wufeng) they build not just deep feelings but absolute trust in each other and there is abundant chemistry as they fall in love.
The second spy manages to build a relationship with MLs cousin but lies and cheats her way into his bed and yet despite their relationship being built on lust not love, there are still feelings between them, no matter how conflicted, and the actors really bring to life their complex characters and the situations they find themselves in.
Although this seems like a really dark tale, there are some amusing moments as MLs sister chases after his body guard in subtle and not so subtle ways.
My only criticism is that this story finishes on a bit of a cliffy but I’m not sure if there will ever be a second series to tie up the large number of loose ends which is a shame as the chemistry between the main characters is so good and there is enough content to put into a sequel.
