There is CP feeling in Huang Yunyun and Jin Jiayu
There is too many version but personally i enjoy this drama. This version has better makeup, styling, and overall flow. The script is also smoother although the ending feel a bit rushed.Jin Jiayu and Huang Yunyun have great chemistry. Their banter is witty and pleasing to watch. Jian Jiayu is one of great kisser he could make those kissing scene not looked too gross. Both of leads have comfortable on their character representation and make their interaction too natural.
Still i could recommended this version since a few of another version has worse point than this drama.

better than i expected
for rookies the acting wasn't that bad, and the chemistry was great. while i probably won't rewatch, i'm excited for their next project "when oranges fall"Was this review helpful to you?
It took me 16 years to finally watch a collection of kisses 😂😂 I originally thought this was longer, like a proper drama, back in the days I wasn't on MDL, had I known I'd probably just watch them without subs, but also had I known they were only a collection of kisses I wouldn't even bother lol cause that's what it's all about, kisses with a tiny plot, or dare I say a scene from a plot, it's a couple of minutes each, no big thing.
But the hit of nostalgia from hearing Flower by Bright!! (Now that they are disbanded you don't know how much I felt!) Also the HOT kisses 😘😘 worth checking out.
Now that I'm a bit older, those old shows hits me differently.

I've seen Shitong in new light
I watch this because of Wang Yiran but i had doubt with Shi Tong and after seeing this drama, i see Shi Tong in new light.Rebirth + pseudo-incestuous relationship setting is novel, creating a strong sense of taboo. The tug-of-war between the straightforward FL and the awkward ML is incredibly engaging.
Wang Yiran's acting especially his crying scene is very natural. Shi Tong has improved a lot in this drama. after being reborn, she completely fights her step mother and stepsister, and She directly pursues the ML. The Chemistry between Wang Yiran adn Shi Tong are so natural even their kiss scene looks so good but not in sensual way.
Recommended to watch.

Awful acting
Things I liked1 The FL. She's one of my favorite actresses. She's gorgeous and she plays comedy well. In this one though, liked is a strong word. I just don't want to say I disliked her, but it was limit. Playing cute all the time and scream so many times did my head in.
2 The premise. I liked the premise because it's fun and promised something different. The execution though, no that great.
Things I hated
1 The ML. Maybe he's a great actor and I'm being unfair, but to me it was impossible to watch him after a while. It was like I was watching a plastic person. I have no idea if he had plastic surgery or not, but he seemed like a plastic doll to me. When I read that he's cute and handsome, I wonder why I can't see any of these. Not to mention I don't think he's a good actor.
2 The FL friend. What an awful actress, playing cutesy and talk like a baby all time. Stupid and irritating to no end.

This was a light, cute rom-com, it was a fun and easy watch, nothing too serious or complicated.What I liked about this:
-The plot; naïve freshman who is kind of autistic thinks their senior hates them while said senior is head over heels for them ?? 10/10
-The comedy; they were very funny and Jane's innocence was endearing yet hilarious.
- Jane's family dynamics, their relationship was nice and it's refreshing to have a healthy family that don't hate their children lol.
-The trans representation, while brief, I loved how they depicted the trans character and her struggles and I loved that her family was mostly supportive and loving.
-ALSO Jane outright said she was a lesbian, which is a very cool thing considering a lot of GL characters just start liking the other woman and never acknowledge their orientation or talk about it??
-Finally, I liked that the OST was sung by an actual singer and not turning the lead actresses into singers as usual. and it was a good OST too.
NOW the things I didn't like:
-Too much characters, too little time. it's not their fault, yet they could've wrote a better script, there were a lot of characters and a lot of their stories were cut short while also not having time to focus on the main couple.
-Some of the camera angles were ugly, it felt experimental and I hope they never experiment this again !! this series could've been better with a good cinematography.
- AI use :/ the main character is a comic ARTIST and you are using AI???? did all the artists disappear in Thailand??? I get that the budget was non-exisitnet but really? AI?? for an artist main character??? was so disappointing.

Overall, I had fun watching it weekly, and I see myself rewatching it some time in the future. If you enjoy Thai university setting romcoms you would enjoy this.

The Best Fanservice
I’m so so glad they did a mini spin-off of Ja Yeon and Gyu Hyun’s story! Lee Sang Yi and Han Ji Hyeon have incredible chemistry, and I’m so excited we got to see an extension of their relationship.These two are hilarious, both in the main series and spin-off. The meta storyline was brilliant and had me cackling/uwu-ing the whole time. I’ve watched a lot of kdramas, but this whole idea was super fresh!
It’s about time Lee Sang Yi got to be a leading man in a rom com! Don’t get me wrong, I love him in action stuff, but he’s certainly got the looks and energy for this too. His character in both the main and side series was so different from what I’ve seen him do before.
Han Ji Hyeon also stole my heart in both series. She’s so talented and beautiful, and I hope to see her in more shows! I like that this side series also made sure to include elements of her real-life trauma, perfectly blending in Ja Yeon’s hopes. It was surprisingly touching and tied in well to the main story. This also explained why she suddenly started developing feelings for Gyu Hyun.
I seriously want to petition for these two to work together again! Great chemistry!
Also, Lee Sang Yi sounded great singing the OST!

KIM SEON HO CARRIED THE DRAMA
I mean, I think they overcomplicated things from the beginning. Right from the start, the story felt a bit odd, lacking natural flow and depth.Its almost like they wanted it to be poetic but... that couldn't land perfectly. Still, i consider the attempt to be decent.
The drama also felt like it changed genre mid way and went from a sweet romance to a psychological mystery. It was a whole lot of mess.
The star of the drama is DEFINITELY KIM SEON HO for me. His tiny expressions, natural charm and somewhat non predictable behavior made things interesting and kept me wanting more. He has a knack for making characters appear natural.
The main actress is..fine....despite the crazy writing and range her character had ON PAPER, her acting range seems limited. Its more or less the same doll ...naive...pure...somewhat fantasy heroine expressions. The scary lighting, makeup and expressions helped her alter ego character but I think that credit goes to the director, makeup artists and stylists more.
I can see PEAK JUN JI HYUN nailing this role in my mind and that's a thought I can't get out of my mind.
The second lead couple had electric chemistry because BOTH HAPPEN TO BE EQUALLY GOOD AS ACTORS. They matched each other's wavelength quite well but I DID NOT LIKE THE SECOND FL AT ALL as a character. Her dating style was extremely nasty and messy.
The story could have been better but Seon ho and the second couple made this drama journey a non regrettable watch for me.

Zhai Yiying first enjoyable drama..
Actually i watch this last year i never think Zhai Yiying has acting skill until i see this. Personally i liked Wang Yiran-Shi Tong drama so i give my self try to see another version.I consider this Zhai Yiying's representative drama. Her makeup and styling in this drama suit her better than in any other drama I've seen. She perfectly embodies the charming cuteness of a young girl, and her crying scenes are decent. For me she is better Wen Li on this version than Shi Tong.
This is my first time watching Li Quan Cheng's drama, but his sexual tension is amazing. I realized this is also his peak in terms of styling. However, their two kissing scenes are like two clam spirits, terrible. The flaws don't detract from the overall quality. He needs to catch up Wang Yiran acting skill.
One thing I don't understand is that ML is also reborn, so why did he keep rejecting the FL in the beginning? He never understand love in either of his two lives.

trigger warning for woman harassed at workplace
This show should carry a trigger warning for women who have been sexually harassed at the workplace. Just because men are beautiful doesn’t make it ok for them to relentlessly pursue a woman at work. And one of them is a repellant character so that’s even worse.The show carried by the amazing charisma and beauty of the main stars but in real life it would be a nightmare for the woman involved.
Korean mean don’t have a good reputation among Korean women and this show provides clues as to why that might be.

Untalented ML
Things I liked1 I liked the actress who plays the FL. She's cute and even though I don't think she's the best actress out there, she isn't bad either.
2 Some of the other characters. I think the cast was quite good.
Things I hated
1 The ML. I tried so many times but he's truly one of the most untalented actors I've ever seen. I watched several dramas he's part of and the only one I could stomach is the My Secret Romance. It would also be better with another actor, but the FL did enough to make him bearable. In this one he's particularly bad and not endearing in any way.
2 The script is quite bad. Some lines are so cringe I was embarrassed for the actors.

cliché plot story
First of all i like Feng Ming Chao and Chen Luxi pairing but this drama was their weakest drama. The plot is basically generic FL love ML but ML just fooling around with SFL and FL decided to leave him. Chen Luxi didn't give vibe as someone who was hurt unfortunately while Feng Ming Chao just easily pulled out the scumbag ML. The ending was okay but it feels too bland.Was this review helpful to you?
This one is really an underrated gem❤️
This series was adapted from a manga and it definitely gave the manga vibes. I was quite skeptical at first but i think they've done a good job with the series. It's not the best but it's not bad either. It's a nice above average show u can watch and relax.I really loved Anda's brother the entire show😆😆 he's soo damn funny. Even the parents 🤌🤌🤌 the best part about the show were its side characters. Yes the main characters were good but i liked the side characters more😅 especially the brother and his boyfriend although i did want to see the parent's reaction to their relationship

Enjoy this separation at birth mother and child drama.
I was on Song Yujia marathon drama last year and found Cheng Cheng. He may not most handsome actor but his acting skill are quite good compared to another handsome actor.It's a very cliché story: FL slept with someone years ago and had a child, but for some reason, the child was raised by the ML, and the FL thought the child was dead.
ML was quite ex-convict who actually decent guy. FL was not saint she was tortured by her mother and cut ties with her family after she know they contributed to kidnapping her child .Love how Song Yujia got bond with the child making the drama is slightly higher than other same theme drama.
Villain is too stereotypical. SFL went on one blind date with the ML, doesn't even know what he does, yet she's smitten by ML.

"The Divorce Insurance" contains loads of stories, very worth watching!
I'm a huge fan of Lee Dong-wook . So, after the series finished airing, I sat to watch the drama. Actually when any drama series starts airing, I can't wait for the next episods. I watched it a bit late and oh my goodness. Every episods is full of family stories and anyone can watch it with family members. I highly recommend this drama for new married couples. I was going to rate 10/10 but I don't like any relationship between my friend and my ex. I also hate exes' again coming back in my life. Overall it's too much worth watching.Was this review helpful to you?
