The Love of the story

Can This Love Be Translated isn’t really about language.
It’s about love, and how even when we speak the same words, we don’t always understand each other.
Because love isn’t just spoken. It’s shown. It’s felt. And too often, it’s misunderstood.
This story is about learning to read actions, emotions, and silences.
About accepting flaws.
About letting go of old loves so new ones can begin.
It’s about forgiveness.
About facing fears and healing the traumas we carry with us.
It’s about love, the kind that sometimes feels clear…
and other times needs to be translated to truly be understood.

A must-watch, 10/10. The chemistry is unreal. Hiro, Jisun, and Youngwoo each shine on their own, but together, they complete the story in the most powerful way. Every connection matters. Every moment hits. It’s just soooo good.

Not Usual Reincarnation Drama

I just randomly watch for Lin Jingye and found this drama.

I initially thought the plot would be a bit angsty, but it wasn't at all. The FL is remarkably clear-headed after her rebirth. Li Jingye perfectly captures the clarity after rebirth. Zhang Liren needs to catch up to his acting since his expression looks same in every scene.

In her previous life, FL used every means to force marriage to pursue ML, only to be met with disgust and depression. Upon being reborn, she had only one thought: stay away from him and get a divorce. ML was shocked to see FL sudden change and he become eavesdrop enjoyer to hear every FL plans. Even when the mistress was come, FL just teach her how to get ML instead of throwing tantrum like her first life. ML begins to relentlessly pursue FL, only to discover that he has long harbored feelings for her.

Personally I don't understand why FL in first life was so infatuated with ML since there is not enough backstory about them before and never think she was good person in first life.

Still decent to watch.

“This drama is perfect for a one-time watch.”

After reading a few reviews, I came to realize that this kind of drama is quite popular. However, for me, this was my first time watching something like this. Naturally, my experience felt different because I usually gravitate toward other genres.

Simply put, I don’t really prefer romantic series. In that sense, this drama truly worked for me. The story and the acting were the best aspects of the drama for me, and the rest of it was also quite watchable.

To be honest, I really admire the female lead in this drama, which was another reason I decided to watch it.

I have three solid reasons for liking this drama:

1) It is a revenge drama with strong and justified motivations

2) The acting was spot-on

3) Most importantly, it has a solid plot packed with thrilling moments

That said, this kind of drama isn’t rewatchable for me. Once the suspense and twists are revealed, watching it again doesn’t have the same impact. It’s like reading a book backward when you already know every chapter—it just feels boring to me. Maybe that’s just my personal preference.

Overall, this drama was definitely worth watching.

Fun watch

This is the first time I’ve seen a BL story with this kind of plot, and I really enjoyed it. The characters of Shiba and Aruto are very different in terms of personality, but they complement each other perfectly.

The series is quite fast-paced, but in just 12 episodes, we get a good understanding of the characters’ backgrounds and quickly grow attached to them.

I especially liked the humor, Shiba’s character development, as well as the intimate scenes between Aruto and Shiba. They were very subtle, not overly explicit, but really well done. Even the love confessions were something I truly enjoyed.

I had a really good time watching it.

I might be biased?

I might be biased towards this drama but I have my own reason. Ive stop in watching korean dramas long time ago, i mean in terms of fangirling and binge-watching but Lovely Runner blows my mind!

My fingers are all curl up during “Sun Jae-ya!”. I love Hyeyoon cutesy and Wooseok’s smiley eyes. I love them, i love my pawrents!

Time-travelled story is quite difficult to understand unless you are slowly into it and a lot of questions for sure will pop up here and there, I do find myself in that situation but I keep on watching as I want to know the ending and ya! a super great ending!

All the OSTs are so great and I am still listening to them. Byeon Woo Seok has a nice voice, very good in acting, and he is just a perf-

I'd never seen Single's Inferno before, but I decided to give it a try because sometimes when my head is full of work or studies, it's harder to pay attention to dramas or movies, and I need to watch a reality show, something more lighthearted that doesn't require so much of my attention. I really liked the format of 'Better Late than Single,' but Single's Inferno put me off because of its racy trailers. I mistakenly thought it was more like 'La Isla de las Tentaciones' (a Spanish reality show where you end up watching them constantly having sex with each other and cheating on their partners). In the end, I'm glad I gave it a chance when I didn't know what to watch because it wasn't what I expected, and it pleasantly surprised me. I'm hooked! I'm caught up with this fifth season and have started watching the previous ones.

IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK AWAY FROM

I was honestly anticipating this series for months now. So basically its a group of college kids meeting for a night of fun. One unfortunately passed away that night. It might have been because of substance abuse, malice, or may even be a normal death.

So in came Inspector Kamin. Recently moved to Thailand from the US. He was immediately assigned to the case, where he will be in what we call a Hot-Seat, due to the popularity of some of the kids parents. Kamin is hot, very handsome, talented, strict, a rule follower, takes his work seriously and all-work no-play kind of guy.

He was partnered with Capt. Jade the complete opposite of him. Jade takes life as it goes, easy going, very friendly with lots of contacts both internal and outside the station. He is very fun and doesn't believe in taking work home once a day is done. He's also very good at his work though it may not seems like it due to his cheeky character. Jade will be Kamin's No.1 subordinate.

Though the two met in an unfortunate circumstance. Jade definitely took a liking to Kamin (we saw it on his not so subtle facial change, lol.) With his brother involved as a suspect, Jade and Kamin must work together to find out what those kids are hiding and perhaps prevent other 'incidents'.

What i did not like is the use of firearms in in a situation that's not required. I was also surprised of the friends reaction to one of their owns' death. Goes to show that this series will uncover more than we bargain for.

The contrast between Jade N Kamin's personalities, has created scenarios that are both amusing and emotionally engaging. DYTD highlighted a mix of high-stakes action and romantic banter. The allure of easy money and the blurring lines between law enforcement and criminality.

DYTD deeply entrenched in the drug trade for personal gain, blackmail or power. The powerful duo, JadeKamin, has to navigate through all these in order to protect their own and solve the case, whilst staying true to themselves.

DYTD is very important to Joong and Dunk + their friends. The casts has done a lot of workshops, worked very late in the night and came back again first thing in the morning. Dealing with exams and other events at the same time must not have been easy. The dialogues throughout the series is seen to be very hard especially for Dunk Natachai. Yet they surprised me by delivering beautifully.

I wish them luck in their new series and wish for many people to come and support these young people. Give Dare You To Death a chance.

Lovable: Gripping
Bingeable: Highly enjoyable
Rewatch Value: I will be revisiting multiple times

Creativity in Stressful Situation

This show is a great break from watching the dramas. Just like any variety show, it is unscripted and spontaneous, though we all know there are many edits along the way. We see how they took on difficult challenges and the ingenuity of Baek rose to the top and met beyond what is expected.
This show also shows that teamwork is important. Not everyone is a cook, but each one took part to create several dishes, that if Baek is alone, he will fail the mission. I like to see the true selves of the celebrities.
I also like to see the different inventions of Baek and how the team interact with those they serve.
I like Bo Young; though he hasn't reached Baek's status, he comes up with good ideas and even tools. The flame throwers were cool and handy. Even Baek acknowledge that though Bo Young had been flexing his toys, they were a great help to produce the smokey flavor.
Dae Hwan is also a reliable chopper. And as he has the strength also, can be good in mixing large portions. He accepts when scolded by Baek but not having self pity. He is very helpful in many ways.
Oh what can I say about Din Din. He is like a kid. Very talkative and a whiner. I guess, he balances off the quietness of the other guys in the team. I was annoyed at first, but later just accepts that is who he is. He has his own charm.
It is also good to see these guys go and serve those who may not be in the limelight. I am sure it brought joy so much to those they served even for just one meal.
The last episode is a joy to see, that after all those serving, they are rewarded with time together, cooking what they love for themselves in a beautiful site. Their love for cooking radiated in the show. And they became quite emotional to hear the feedback and the love from those they served. This show does not only show the food made in limited time and resources, but also an expression of love and appreciate for those who worked tirelessly to serve others as well. May this inspire other cooks/ chefs to create delicious meals that warm the hearts of those who partake them.

So good that I was feeling hungry all the time!

Bon Appetit, everyone!!!!!!!

To have great dishes on every episode is torturing me! To have a good-looking king is also torturing me! I love their first meet in the jungle while Chef Jeon is looking miserable and confuseddd.

“To be yearned for, to be seen~”

That is the King’s trait. Always always yearning for his Royal Court Cook– Jeon Susu~

I am always loving the concept of Joseon kdrama. the cinematography, the slow-mo moments, the sound of arrows and swords flying, the so many scenes on top of hills and many more!

Please please give a try in watching this series as Lee Chae-min is soooo good with his acting especially when he is mad or cry. I feel like I have to pukpuk him.
