A good enough blend of a watch

This isn’t bad. Most often I’d hang on if i feel that the leads brings interest to see where story leads. Though some actions early on in story is a turn off, that usually makes me hit the next search button, the female lead is a new watch and i wanted to see more of her acting. At conclusion, I’d say she’s growing and has lots of potentials. Looking forward to seeing her growth. As for male lead, the typical cold, hard to please character, played that part well. For someone unsmiling for the most part of series, it really did shine through when she said, “ah, is that a smile”. That was actually cute because it really was nice to see him smile. He outdid that cold demeanor role. He’s good.

What i liked was that the male lead was on top of everything from the background to keep her protected. In family conflicts for wealth control isn’t new plots but this one made for interest because the execution had some interesting twists, enough to hold me in. Biggest twist came few episodes before last that didn’t quite hit my fancy but at least it was resolved before last episode. Some may like it, i just think a better plot would be building leads relationship.

Again, this is a decent watch. Though it has blends of mystery and schemings plotting, it’s a feel good drama to see leads end up together.

A Thai-Japanese mini series, very fantastic

This series immediately caught my attention with its tender yet powerful storyline, beautifully portraying the themes of regret, reunion, and how love can reignite even stronger than before.
The actors delivered outstanding performances, and the chemistry between the characters feels so natural and genuine that it easily draws you in and makes you feel those sweet, heart-fluttering moments.
Each episode is the perfect length—tight, engaging, and never dragging—plus you can watch it all at once without having to wait, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, it’s a romcom I would definitely recommend: touching, entertaining, and sprinkled with bits of cultural insight that make it even more memorable.

The thin line between love and hate - a toxic love story

This is not just a slice of life but a whole pie of life as we follow these two girls and the people that affect them from childhood to adulthood on a journey of self destruction, hate, pain, more pain, self blame, hate, obsession and possession.

The acting is phenomenal and so is the storytelling and cinematography. Each episode has a build up and ends with a line that makes you want to press that next episode button, to find out what will happen next, We the viewers are given small clues, but they take their time telling the story, preparing us for the twist the lie ahead . I rarely watch dramas in bed while my husband is still a sleep but this time I just had to see how it would unfold. So I turned off the sound just in time for episodes that even without sound evoked a whole lot of emotions in me that I found myself lying in bed crying my eyes out in the silence of the early morning. No violins needed.

The characters are not always lovable, they are human beings imperfect full of mistakes, full of hate oh so much hate. (mostly towards themselves) , there is a show of several social issues and representation without taking away focus from the main plot. And while I do have some issues with coice of words here and there this is without a doubt a drama I highly recommend. Just make sure to stock up on sleeves, tissues or whatever you prefer to use ro wipe your tears and snot for the episodes somewhere in the middle of the drama.

A Beautiful Journey of healing, heartfelt moments and filled my heart every minute

A Beautiful Journey of healing, heartfelt moments, and the best bromance and filled my heart every minute.
I started watching Ghost Doctor without much planning, just casually. But episode by episode, the drama drew me in more and more.

Cha Young-min — I’m not a huge fan of Rain, but every time I watch him in a drama, I can’t help but be captivated by his acting. And Ko Seung-tak — I had almost forgotten about Kim Bum since I hadn’t seen him in a drama for a while, but this role made me fall for him all over again. His cute, lively acting was so lovable and eye-catching. The other actors also did a wonderful job and added so much depth to the story.

As for the story itself — even though it’s a fantasy, it felt incredibly real. At no moment did it feel unbelievable; instead, I often thought, this could actually happen in real life, hidden from what we see.

And the OSTs — absolutely beautiful. The moment “I can fly awayyy” part of the song played, my heart raced and danced with excitement. The other songs were equally moving and matched the story perfectly.

Overall, I truly loved this drama. It was heartfelt, meaningful, and unforgettable.

12? Doesnt even deserve a 5. One of the worst of the year

Sad and crappy doesnt even sum up how i feel about this drama. ANd they have the gulls to tease us of a second season?

Putting Ma Dong Seok Park Hyung Sik and Seo in Guk in one drama got me so excited although right at the beginning i had reservations why Seo in Guk wasnt used enough in the trailers to sell the drama. Netizens say give the series a chance, and why not? The show promises an epic battle between angels and demons - and who isnt intrigued to see Park Hyung Sik in a differnet role. Sadly the show didnt deliver at all and was such a disappointment and my fears were realized as SIG is actually just a second fiddle and PHS wasnt actually the villain.

I dont even know how much the actors got paid for them to accept working in this trash. Didnt they (or dont they pay people to) read the script before signing up? They should be firing their agents and managers.

BAD WIGS. BAD COSTUMES. BAD MAKEUP. BAD ACTING. BAD PRODUCTION DESIGN. BAD SPECIAL EFFECTS. BAD SCRIPT. BAD STORYTELLING. BAD FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY. if someone confesses that this show is made entirely by bad AI, i would totally believe it.

There was literally NO ONE among the characters to love and get attached to.

And to the cinematographers and editors and special effects people out there please take note that this kind of weird ugly colorgrading and filters and smoke cloudy effects are not fooling anyone and its not hiding how poor the visual effects are. they just make it worse.

Is there anything good? Nothing.

This is the lowest grade Ive ever given a Korean drama. It is that bad. Stay away like your life depends on it.

Striking Cinematography, Perfect Leads, and Powerful OST

Sometimes I just want an story with an elegant vampire, don't you? Even better if it was set in the Republican Era—dramas I've just recently discovered. I love so much the look of them: the clothes, hair, cities, interiors, and cars (oh, those cars!). Such style and class.

I can't say enough good things about the FL. She was charming, sweet, brave, and such a nice change from the silly, ineffectual girls that are often portrayed in Chinese dramas. The actress did an amazing job depicting an abused girl slowly being transformed by love. The ML was mesmerizing as he transformed from cold and aloof to cautiously looking forward to a future filled with happiness.

There were some cheesy moments and exasperation that some people refused to die and stay dead, but I overlooked all that because the main leads were so charismatic, the visuals were stunning, and the music was fitting. It's worth watching just for those alone.

The drama was hampered by censorship. The word "vampire" was never uttered, no fangs were shown, and no direct feeding was depicted. The romance was greatly hampered. I realize there was a theoretical age gap of 82 years between the two leads, which could be problematic for some. It didn't bother me and I was rooting for them (they both deserved love and happiness in their lives and were optimally suited to one another due to their damaged psyches), but the censors downplayed the romance due to the age difference. Even so, the chemistry was deep and strong. I'm left to wonder how amazing this drama could have been without censorship.

The last episode was rushed and unsatisfying. I wasn't happy with the ending, but it made sense, and I've made peace with it. I wasn't the only one displeased: after the drama ended, there was so much vitriol directed at the production team that the director had to disable his Weibo, and the screenwriter posted a happy ending epilogue on hers to placate the viewers.

An extra half star was awarded for beautiful images and lovely music.

Wholesome Fluff with Heartfelt Depth

This drama really surprised me in the best way. From the very first episode, I was hooked by the raw emotions—the lead’s struggle with confessing his feelings and coming to terms with being gay was so powerful and relatable. When his love was reciprocated, it truly felt like the “miracle” the story describes.

The show deals with identity, insecurity, and family issues, but it does so in a light and heartwarming way. I like how we can see the main characters grow and resolve their issues maturely. The side characters are also kind and uplifting. Instead of heavy drama, the overall tone stays fluffy, cute, and healing.

The acting was solid, especially in the emotional scenes, and the main couple had adorable chemistry. Even though the kisses weren’t very passionate, they fit the tone of the story—I found myself grinning at their sweet moments. As someone raised conservatively, the way their intimacy was handled felt wholesome, almost like first-timers learning how to ride a bike—innocent yet deeply meaningful. And while I also enjoy steamier kiss/sex scenes in other BLs, this gentler approach felt refreshing and relatable in its own way. The music and cinematography complemented this softness beautifully, adding to the gentle atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a BL that’s wholesome, light, and full of warmth, this is definitely worth watching. It’s the kind of drama that makes you feel comforted and hopeful. It's the kind of romance I would like to have in real life.

Lost You Forever? Congrats, you really did!

This came highly recommended, with glowing reviews and sky-high ratings that practically dared me to dive in. The premise promised a rich blend of wuxia, reverse harem intrigue, and a gender-bending lead—what’s not to love? But five episodes in, I was already eyeing the exit. My thumb hovered over the “drop” button like it was a lifeline. I told myself to be patient, that maybe the magic would kick in soon. Instead, my fast-forward thumb got more of a workout than my attention span, and by the halfway mark, I finally threw in the towel.

To be fair, the production is gorgeous. The cinematography is lush, the costumes are exquisite, and the acting is solid across the board. Even Yang Zi—who’s never been my favorite—won me over with her performance as the male physician Xiao Liu. She brought charm and grit to the role, and for a moment, I thought maybe this drama would redeem itself. But charisma alone couldn’t justify wallowing through a plot that felt like it was wandering in circles. This story could’ve easily been told in half the runtime.

Then came the kicker: there’s a second season. Because apparently 39 episodes weren’t enough to wrap up this slow-motion saga. That revelation didn’t feel like a cliffhanger—it felt like a trap. My decision to quit felt less like giving up and more like reclaiming my time.

Watching this drama is like driving down an endless highway while Bob Ross narrates a painting tutorial. Undeniably pretty, but not exactly riveting. There’s potential in its tropes, but with pacing this glacial, I couldn’t bring myself to keep going. Beautiful, yes—but forever is a long time to be this bored.

Perfect Combination Of Short Tempered And Anger Issue

Ya’ll probably gonna hate me for this, but I’m short-tempered — and that’s exactly why I dropped this one. The acting was good, not gonna lie, but the character they gave the FL? Nah. By episode four I already hated the character (not the actor). That trope they used made me roll my eyes so hard my brain short-circuited.

I was literally yelling at the screen for the FL to kill the demon. She had so many chances and did nothing but talk. I get the hostage situation, but come on — when she finally gets the sword, I would’ve just slashed the head off. Maybe the demon has a tragic backstory or a power-control issue like ZY in Fangs of Fortune, and maybe it gets better mid-series… but I’m not sticking around to find out.

Short patience and anger issues: my sworn enemies. That’s all. No hate to the fans — just not my vibe.

More a very good teaser that a real story.

Eight episodes of each 10 minutes, so we get some real short series here. Sometimes I felt it was more long trailers of an actual series, like skipping so much content, which is "between the lines" of what we do not see. Or think of it is an 80 minutes long good music video.

I am not sure why this story with potential was so short and skipped so many possible moments. What was there is good, even thought the BL element was until the end more "in the imagination"; not in a bad way, but still kinda unmanifested. The highlight of the series was aptly to the theme and title the really beautiful music, which truly stood out.

Still, it was a good appetizer for a full show that this wasn't. But what it was were 80 good minutes to spend.

As such
7.5 of 10

SISTERHOOD, MYSTERY, AND FEMINISM SHINE IN LITTLE WOMEN

This drama reminded me a lot of the hollywood film movie Little Women, especially with its themes of feminism and how women try to stand and strong in a tough world. It has the same focus on sisterhood but told in a darker, more thriller-like way.

The three sisters are written with clear differences, and I found myself understanding each of their behaviors and choices. In Joo’s vulnerability and longing for a better life, In Kyung’s stubborn yet idealistic pursuit of justice, and In Hye’s quiet independence all felt distinct but interconnected. Their contrasting personalities and imperfections made the drama more complex, and realistic.

I also really liked the chemistry between In Joo and Do Il. Their connection was subtle but strong, and I appreciated that their relationship was left open ended, it gave a sense of possibility without forcing a conclusion.

The blue orchid subplot was another highlight for me. It added mystery and symbolism that blended well with the overall narrative, making the story more intriguing. On top of that, the cinematography was beautiful and the ost/score/soundtracks are so good that I immediately listened them all after watching.

The story can feel a little messy at times, with multiple twists that sometimes overlap more than they should. But even with that, it is still worth watching for its themes, performances, and artistic execution.

Overall, Little Women is not perfect, but it’s a captivating drama that reimagines sisterhood, ambition, and survival in a unique way.
