Reviews

Absolutely Stunned!!

I had low expectations because of the reviews which said this one was bad during its airing so i kept it in my watchlist and the low review also made me hesitate but I gave it a try because I like both main leads previous works.And I couldn't say more so I was stunned.

The Acting was phenomenal as you could see when the soul actually changed even without the accent. The comedy was very enjoyable which became a rarity in most of the dramas these days. The Ost was so likable to the point I saved it in my playlist of spotify ( I don't usually pay attention to drama ost with the few expections of this drama, Goblin, Love scout and descendents of Sun ). All the Actors did a wonderful job on showing their acting even the second fl as contrary to many reviews I liked her acting ( she could do more if she practiced more expressiveness but still better than her previous work so I was okay with her ).

The 14 episodes was the cream on the top, anything more would've felt boring and anything less wouldve felt short. The Dead King was piece of shit and the villain was more piece of a shit - didn't feel a single shread of pity for him. The Current King, the Ml father showed a terrific show of helplessness which I really liked it. As always the Sejong and Tae oh acting was good, and the chemistry was so good to the point I loved their banter in the second half.

So if you want to watch this drama, Give it a try don't worry about the reviews - still don't understand why this one is less than 8. So give it a Try.

It delivers what’s promised

It’s a fun, light, and interesting journey!

The premise is very well executed, with great special effects, strong side characters, and excellent development of the FL.

About Jisoo:
I’m not used to actress Jisoo, but after two episodes I completely forgot she was Jisoo and was able to see only the character. Some scenes were a little cringe, like when she gets bothered and shakes her head like “why?”, but I’ve seen other actors do this too. I guess it’s something Koreans do to vent frustration. Other than that, I really liked her acting.

ML:
I LOVED the way he fell in love. It wasn’t obvious; it was about the little things. After he realized his feelings, he was a real man. Even when things got complicated, he was able to understand his heart.

FL:
She is a little egocentric, and sometimes I didn’t like the way she treated her friend. But she had the biggest growth in the whole drama, and it was really nice to see. I also felt sympathetic toward her after finding out what happened in the past. Her character felt very real. I think anyone who has been in relationships can relate to her.

The plot:
The AI dating isn’t really the focus. It’s actually about letting go of the past and opening up to new experiences, but it adds entertainment value.
The scene when the FL goes on a blind date in real life was SO REAL. It showed the truth about modern dating in such a raw way. I was not expecting that.

The side characters are fun to watch, and I got very invested in the best friend’s storyline.

I didn’t catch myself fast-forwarding at all, and 10 episodes was the perfect length.

Definitely the best rom-com this year so far!

OMG! This story was absolutely incredible, powerful, heartbreaking yet with a silver lining.

The opening scene should have made me realise that this was a one in a million story as we watch two bright young lives destroyed by suicide.

It is the companion side plot to the Between Us drama starring Boun Noppanut as Win and Prem Warut at Team and I’m glad I watched that one first as although their characters feature in this they are a very, very minor sub plot in this drama and watching them the other way round would not have worked so well.

The story centres around Pharm (played by Fluke Natouche) and Dean (played by Ohm Thitiwat) who are students at the same university. Dean is a final year student whose world is turned upside down by Pharm, a first year, when they meet for the first time and his lifelong search is finally over as he recognises his past in this new kid on the block.

Approximately 40 years earlier two young lads - Korn (played by Kai Noppakao) and Intouch (played by Earth Katsamonnat) fall in love in a world filled with homophobia and fathers who cannot accept their love. One fateful night (Intouch’s 18th birthday) during a heated argument between the fathers and the sons, Korn grabs his father’s gun from his waistband, tells Intouch that he loves him then blows his brains out. In, seeing his boyfriend’s body lying in a pool of blood rushes over and amidst a grief filled sob fest grabs the gun tells him that he loves him then proceeds to kill himself too.

As the drama unfolds we realise that Dean and Pharm are the reincarnation of Korn and In as they begin to have more and more flash backs letting them into to the lives of the two deceased men.

There are sad bits, funny bits and every emotion in between and Fluke and Ohm do a fantastic job of making their confused past believable. In the final scenes Fluke broke my heart as he has a mental breakdown over what happened to Intouch in his last few moments of grief before committing suicide too.

This story is a testament to the strength of love that knows no boundaries set in a world of homophobia and the tragic backlash of the double suicide that leaves the remaining family members guilt riddled and broken. This really makes the viewer stop and think about the devastating results of people’s prejudices and how utterly horrendous the fall out from suicide really is.

That said, in the final scenes there is forgiveness and the laying to rest of ghosts that paves the way for Dean and Pharm to commit to each other and this understanding of what happened and what the future could be turns this plot from a terrible tragedy into a story of redemption and hope.

Bravo to the actors and script writers for such a powerful story.

This is my favourite drama ever and I sobbed so much and so loudly through the last two chapters (to the point my husband who was in a different room thought I was laughing) as the ramifications of the actions first of Korn and then In became apparent.

Would I watch this again? Totally, absolutely and inevitably

A Hidden and heartwarming Gem

I originally started this drama for Chen Fei Yu with no expectation (more like I didn’t know what to expect), but I ended up discovering an absolute masterpiece. My heart is so full after finishing it… this show is a hidden gem that deserves to be known !

Beyond Expectations: Hope and Resilience

The 1970s was a difficult era, but the drama is so heartwarming. It shows how people found happiness despite every delusions and difficulties. Once the main couple is together, their bond is unbreakable.. they are simply happy and fearless against the world. It’s a beautiful lesson in love and resilience.

The acting is truly top-tier. The chemistry between the leads is electric, but the entire cast is phenomenal. The family circle’s bond was so authentic and warm that it felt like we were witnessing the Life of a true family. I am going to miss these characters so much!

Also I am truly impressed by the production quality. The directing and editing are flawless.. the way they used slow-motion at exactly the right moments and integrated archival footage was genius. Every detail on the screen and the perfect pacing added a touch of magic.

The Most Satisfying Conclusion

It is so rare to find a drama where the ending feels this perfect. I loved that every character received the right retribution for their actions. It felt incredibly fair and left me with a deep sense of peace and satisfaction.

Overall, this is a high-quality production with a soul. It’s a poignant, visual, and emotional journey that leaves a lasting impression. If you want a story with incredible performances and a lot of heart, please do not miss this one!

I just finished it and I already miss it.. miss them..

Confused

Just finished episode 4 of Yesterday the Series, and honestly I have very mixed feelings so far. I’m not sure what will happen in the next episodes, but the first four episodes have been quite confusing for me.

The biggest issue I’m having is with the timeline and sequence shifting. In the first three episodes especially, the transitions between time and scenes felt very unclear. Sometimes it felt like the story was jumping between moments without properly explaining what was happening. Because of that, it was hard for me to stay fully connected with the plot.

Kelvin’s character is also quite mysterious, but in a way that feels inconsistent. At some moments he seems like a nerdy person who is scared of everything, almost fragile and unsure of himself. But then suddenly he gives off this strong alpha energy, which makes it hard to understand his real personality. It feels like the character is switching between two completely different sides without enough explanation.

Veir’s character also gave me a similar feeling. In the beginning episodes, I thought he would be someone mentally strong and confident, someone who has control over situations. But as the story continues, he sometimes comes across as very emotional and almost like a puppy who cries easily. Because of these shifts, the emotional tone of the scenes feels a bit mixed and confusing.

All these changes in tone and character behavior make the series a little difficult for me to follow. Sometimes I feel like I can’t fully keep up with the story or the emotions the show is trying to deliver.

That being said, I’m still continuing the series mainly because I like Fort and Peter. Their presence and performances are the reason I’m still giving the drama a chance, and I’m hoping the next episodes will make the story clearer.

Just perfect

I just finished watching KinnPorsche again, and honestly, this is one series I can never get tired of. I’ve already watched it four times, and I can easily watch it many more times. It’s one of those rare shows that keeps pulling you back no matter how many times you’ve seen it.

The biggest highlight for me is definitely Mile and Apo. Their performances as Kinn and Porsche were incredible. The chemistry between them felt so natural and intense that it completely carried the emotional weight of the story. They didn’t just act the roles — they truly became the characters. Every scene between them felt powerful, whether it was romantic, emotional, or dramatic.

What surprised me the most about the series is how it balanced two completely different tones. On one side, the story is quite dark, dealing with the mafia world, violence, and power struggles. But at the same time, the show also has many light and heartwarming moments that make you laugh and feel attached to the characters. That mix made the series very unique compared to many other BL dramas.

The casting overall was excellent. Every actor suited their character perfectly, and the group dynamic felt very real. I was personally hoping to see a little more romantic development between Jeff and Barcode’s characters, but even without that, they still did a good job and added an interesting layer to the story.

And I absolutely have to mention Tankhun, played by Tong. He was honestly one of my favorite characters in the whole series. His personality, humor, and dramatic reactions made every scene he was in unforgettable. He brought so much energy and fun to the show, and without him the series would definitely feel incomplete.

Overall, KinnPorsche is one of the most memorable BL series I’ve watched. Strong acting, great chemistry, and unforgettable characters make it truly special.

When your group perfomance score based from individual skill

I watched this last year and the reason is Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi's acting has also improved significantly (a noticeable improvement compared to similar roles involving a two-faced, scheming character). I quite not familiar with Lin Zilin but her performance was below average.

I cannot sympathize with FL's character. It's quite concern me when psychiatrist to fall in love with a patient and have a romantic relationship with them. Does they never scare their license will be revoked? ML's storyline is complete, but FL's storyline is a bit off. I personally think it's related to the actors' performances and understanding of the story.

Okay for my little skill of understanding. This drama has a very empty storyline. Everyone is insane; there are no normal people, and nothing serious happens. They're all eccentric. It feels very stream-of-consciousness and dark. FL is loved by the ML in the wrong way and retaliates in the wrong way. I wonder why they didn't communicate their traumas when they were in love? In the end, everything is suddenly revealed, and it become simple drama.

Overall recommended it you into dark drama.

Sweet closure end

Just a sweet dose of their dailies after the end of the series. (the kind of extras i like but IF its cute and comedic i would've love it even more haha)

~~❤︎⁠~~
~) The cute feet flirt under the table and "can-u-be-serious-at-a-meeting" leg stomp (yes it must be BOTH to be cute)
~) The Proposal (he was a playboy, and took long to admit his feelings, i would say thats a big thing to do for his character)
~) Tried to cook but failed miserably (he tried)
~) Buying your lover's drinks before asking (hey irl they don't do that everyday only when u r mad =X)
~) Flashbacks to recap their growth~

Good fairytale / sweet closing of the MAIN CP story.
THO i felt the short SIDE cp was unnecessary because nothing new to update about them. porcupine lovers.

Only good thing is Joongdunk

Just finished watching Dare You to Death, and I have very mixed feelings about it.

First of all, the songs and overall production were really good. The OSTs were beautiful and matched the mood of the scenes perfectly. The cast also did a great job with their performances. Everyone delivered their roles well, and visually the drama was quite pleasing.

However, the story writing was honestly disappointing. The first three episodes were actually interesting and made me curious about where the story was going. The pacing felt decent and there was some suspense that kept me watching. But after episode 4, the plot started to feel very slow and repetitive. Many scenes felt unnecessarily stretched, and the storyline didn’t really develop in an engaging way. It became quite boring, and at some points it felt like nothing meaningful was happening.

To be very honest, the only reason I continued watching the drama was because of JoongDunk. Their chemistry was the main highlight for me. Every scene they had together was enjoyable and kept me from dropping the series completely. Their acting and natural interaction really carried the emotional moments of the show.

If it wasn’t for them, I probably would have stopped watching halfway. The writers had a good start and a lot of potential, but the execution after the early episodes just didn’t live up to expectations.

Overall, great cast and music, weak storyline. I stayed till the end only for JoongDunk.

Love, Dreams, and Struggles: A Heartfelt Journey in Love Story in the 1970s

It is a nostalgic romance drama set in the socially changing atmosphere of the 1970s. The story blends romance, personal ambition, and everyday struggles, creating a warm yet emotional narrative about love growing in difficult times.

The drama carefully recreates the atmosphere of the era—simple houses, factory jobs, and community living. This setting makes the story feel authentic and immersive. Instead of dramatic love confessions, the relationship develops through small acts of care and support, which makes the romance feel natural and sincere. Fei Ni’s determination to pursue education and independence reflects the dreams of many young people of that era. Fang Mu Yang’s quiet strength adds emotional depth to their relationship.

Slow pacing in some episodes — The drama spends a lot of time on daily life and struggles, which may feel slow for viewers who prefer fast-moving stories. Predictable romantic development — The fake marriage turning into real love is a familiar trope.

Natural chemistry between the leads – The relationship between Fei Ni and Fang Mu Yang develops gradually and feels sincere. Beautiful cinematography – The drama captures the nostalgic atmosphere of the 1970s with warm colors and detailed sets. Realistic portrayal of daily life – Factory work, family duties, and community living are depicted convincingly.

Overall, Love Story in the 1970s is a pleasant and heartwarming watch. The chemistry between the main leads, along with the beautiful cinematography and nostalgic storytelling, makes the drama engaging despite its slow pacing.

It is highly recommended for viewers who enjoy slow-paced, character-driven romance dramas that focus on emotions, relationships, and everyday life rather than intense action or suspense.
