im not spoiling,just watch, Opening ?? /Ending ??
If you are searching for a romance drama mainly for romantic tension and kiss scenes, then this drama might be a good choice for you. From the very beginning, the chemistry between the main couple feels intense. Their eye contact, body language, and emotional moments make it look like they are real lovers, not just actors following a script. Some scenes feel so natural that you may forget you are watching a drama.Things really start to heat up after episode 6. From that point onward, the drama becomes full of romantic moments. Honestly, almost every episode has at least one kiss scene. And yes… this continues all the way until episode 40 😍🤭. If you enjoy romance-focused dramas with bold and frequent intimate scenes, this one definitely delivers in that department.
Before watching, one important tip: use a headset 🎧😂. Some scenes are a bit intense, and the background sounds and dialogue can be awkward to hear on speakers, especially if you’re not alone. Consider this your friendly warning!
However, while the romance and physical chemistry are strong, the story itself is very weak. The plot doesn’t make much sense, character development is poor, and many situations feel unrealistic or repetitive. If you are someone who values a deep storyline, meaningful emotions, or smart writing, you may feel disappointed. At times, it feels like the drama depends only on kiss scenes to keep viewers interested, instead of building a solid narrative.
So, to be honest, this drama is not for story lovers. But if your main goal is to watch a romance drama filled with tension, skinship, and nonstop kiss scenes, then you might still enjoy it. Just don’t expect a great plot—watch it for fun, not for quality storytelling 😅.

What are you waiting for? Go watch it now.
I absolutely love this series.They delve into the experience of people with disabilities and how the world is not shaped or designed to accommodate their most basic needs. Tactile grounds surface indicators or as I described it so ineloquently braille path guides.
The acting from Namtan playing a twin - absolutely smashed it.
Film was greatttt pretending not to see Namtan cry omg she's just great too
Loved the story and lessons behind it.
10/10 would rewatch.

A Soul-Stirring Journey from Scorching Heat to Gentle Sunshine Overall Rating: 10/10
If you are looking for a story that will make your heart ache and then slowly piece it back together, My Forever Sunshine is it. It’s a rare masterpiece that explores the raw reality of mistakes, loss, and the power of self-love and redemption.
The Heart of the Story
The transformation of Paeng (Kao Supassara) is nothing short of ethereal. Seeing her go from a lonely, obsessive teenager desperate for love to a mature, resilient woman is a beautifully organized emotional ride. Mark Prin (Arthit) is an acting genius—he portrays a man so clouded by prejudice and hurt that his journey back to love feels like a hard-won victory. Their intense chemistry is electric, whether they are fighting or finally finding peace together.
The Moment That Broke Me
There is one scene that stays etched in my soul: when Paeng finally yields and kneels before Arthit’s mother, promising to never go near him again. It was the ultimate sacrifice of her own happiness for the sake of the family. The agonizing pain on Arthit's face as he watched her walk away was absolutely shattering—you could see him being torn apart between his duty and a love he could no longer deny.
Final Verdict
From the stunning farm visuals that make you feel like you're traveling through a lush paradise to the heart-fluttering wedding, this lakorn is unforgettable. It’s a slow-burn that rewards you with the warmest, most satisfying "sunshine" after the storm. I finished this drama giggling and kicking my blankets, completely unable to move on.

Well paced and Fluffy n cute first EP
The first EP is really well paced. The post production, editing, lighting, locations and light schemes is really good. (Didn't seem like New Siwaj show at first, no hate to him he is really good director and many of my fav series are directed by him it's just editing and lighting seemed different than his other shows). Whoever has done the Costume hats off. Specifically Pai's costume....omg he looks so pretty elegant and handsome at the same time, those costumes and really brings out Mark's beauty ( bit biased here)\\\\\\\\
JuniorMark:
JuMark has amazing chemistry. Usually other shows show relationship progress in 4-5 episodes which gives CP enough time to setup pace and show that chemistry but here the relationship progression of a year was showed in merely 20 minutes and they still delivered that strong chemistry. I wanna talk about visuals here. Both Junior and Mark are serving here. Sometimes I feel like people are sleeping on Mark's beauty...he is ethereal. Coming back to their storyline their dating era was so fluffy and then that proposal but I low-key couldn't enjoy it fullest knowing Tim is scammer o.w. the part where Pai discussed about having kids or the moment Pai realizes oh I wanna marry this man and I want to have a family with him is so beautiful, you can see the how much he loves Tim in Pai's eyes but for Tim it's all scam and that broke my heart. I liked how they showed Tim slowly made Pai fall for him like how usually scammers scam they'll learn your habits and then make themselves as a part of your everyday life. I'm interested in Tim's side of story like why he chose Pai as target. Even though it felt like relationship progressed bit fast, I guess it's a necessity of the plot cause for TimPai the main focus will be divorce and redemption part as their relationship shows mature nature as compared to YuNorth. I'm ready for the angst (internally screaming cause I can't see my Pai crying)PS: I loved their NC scenes, wasn't expecting to get served in first EP🙈
\\\\\\\
Ohmpoon:I really liked their dynamics. I wasn't expecting North to be this dumb honestly. At least Pai dated for year but North went and gave himself to the scammer based on their one night interaction (I was confused like bro atp who is exactly scammer here but I loved that goofy proposal). Ohm did really good job. I've never seen him in such roll before but I'm enjoying it. As for North I feel this character is made for Poon. I would like to see how their relationship progressess but I think there will be less angst as compared to TimPai. Visuals are again amazing. Like to see the journey of this goofy CP.Overall the first ep was perfect package.
\\\
Apart from CP, I would like to see how Pai and North's relationship as brothers progresses. I really loved them as brothers. I'm looking forward to next Sunday. I hope they keep the same pace throughout the show (I hope they don't do the same thing they did to h2h) . So whoever hasn't watched it please go watch it you won't be disappointed. Both CPS are amazing. You'll enjoy it.

不如放下- it's better to let go
Infuriating and captivating! Shaolin Wendao is a character-driven story exploring complex relationships between four childhood friends as their lives change in extreme ways. An angsty tale of grand passions, forsaken desires and philosophical dilemmas, posing questions about revenge, mercy, atonement and fate as well as the endless cycle of retribution spanning generations.This is an old-school drama in the best sense of the word. It’s highly quotable. It has great atmospheric music and martial arts choreography (not many fighting scenes though). It doesn't shy away from tackling hard truths and bringing up uncomfortable emotions, especially when it comes to the limited choices women had at that time and how men judged their worth. There’s a lot of unrestrained acting that helped bring to life the deeply flawed characters. With this type of drama you get transported to the past because as a 21st century person it's hard to understand the choices they make, which can be very frustrating but also fascinating and unpredictable. I feel like this type of immersive storytelling has become increasingly rare in the last decade.
To be fair, there’s a flip side to it as well. I feel like the director let things get a bit out of hand with overacting at times, particularly with Zhou Yiwei in his unhinged stage. Also, watching these characters persistently make their lives a thousand times more complicated than needed was tiring. The main character is a walking disaster who can be very selfish and manipulative. The villain (who's awesome btw) broke him at the beginning, so for two thirds of the drama he’s completely off-his-rocker, becoming obsessed with vengeance to the point of insanity. He chose the most difficult path and dragged everyone who loved him down with him. Honestly, he was so infuriating at times I wanted to kickdrop him myself, fortunately everyone seemed to do it for me so my blood lust was alleviated.
I have a lot of smaller gripes about camera work, silly humour or the weird (lack of) make-up.
The (non)ending was also quite disappointing, which makes me a bit hesitant to recommend the drama. I guess try it if you’re in the right mood. It may not be your cup of tea but you may surprise yourself.

Amazing romantasy.
Writing this review after my second time watching this cause I love this drama.Honestly I'm usually not a fan of fantasy korean dramas cause I never found watched any that I felt are good, however this drama was an exception for me. I loved it from beginning to end, the journey of Park Shin Hye from how she started as Justitia and slowly learned more about emotions is just amazingly good. The action scenes were also so well done.
I genuinely liked this so much overall that I feel like there's nothing bad to say about it for me. I highly recommend watching this.

burnout syndrome was promised to be messy and it was, kind off. i really liked the series and the elements they portray, but at the end i think they rushed a lot of things so it became even messier and tangled. ten whole episodes weren't enough to convey what the story could possibly mean (i'll probably try to read the full novel later). think koh, for example. his whole character and feelings for jira turned a full 180º in such few minutes i still think he's faking it.
acting wise, the whole cast is one of the best ever put out by a gmmtv show. not a single miss in any scene of any of them. it helped me to get really hooked on the series.

Amazing drama, absolutely loved it.
I adore this drama. Cast, acting, story, everything (except their 2 spirit animals’ looks in their animal form) was amazing.It was literally a never ending cycle of sacrifice and it made me tear up so many times. I love how they changed everything and protected everybody. I do think that Situ Ling didn’t have to go down a bad hill (I’m kinda tired of second MlLs turning evil once the Fl rejects, it’s an overused plot line at this point) and Fuyue deserved better, an actual happy ending not one where she’s pining over her dead love.
Either ways, overall, this was genuinely so good, absolutely worth the watch.

A Sweet, Comforting Slice of Life Drama
My Calorie Boy is a warm and heartwarming Chinese slice-of-life drama that feels calm, youthful, and very comforting from start to finish. The story may seem simple at first, but it is told with sincerity and emotional depth, focusing on everyday life, personal growth, and gentle relationships. The acting is natural and believable, making the characters feel relatable rather than exaggerated. One of the strongest points of this drama is how smoothly the romance develops—slow, soft, and realistic, without unnecessary misunderstandings or forced drama. The music fits perfectly with the overall mood and enhances the emotional moments beautifully. Overall, this is an easy and relaxing watch that leaves you with a warm feeling. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys light, sweet dramas with a peaceful atmosphere.Was this review helpful to you?

Moody, Sensual, Messy & Thought-Provoking
When this story starts, it presents itself as social commentary with a side of romance. 10 episodes later, and this is, in fact, romance with a side of social commentary. It is a slower type of romance as a large part of the story is spent on Jira trying to pick between the two men, Pheem and Koh.The Characters
🎨Jira - He's indecisive in the romance department, stringing two men along for far longer than it was necessary IMO. On one hand, there's Pheem. The seemingly good guy, who, according to the synopsis, is physically Jira's type to a T. On the other hand, lies Koh. An unapologetically capitalistic arsehole, who, if you listen to Ing, is Jira's type, personality-wise.
Jira is also an artist down on his luck and broke. He wants to keep doing art in a world that is slowly being taken over by AI. And worse, he now works for a tech bro whose world is AI. He hates the tech bro for his values, which clash with his own. He's also attracted to tech bro but tries to deny it
💻Pheem - The seemingly good guy. While he may look like the better option at first, he wasn't the right choice for multiple reasons, the biggest being that he's fake AF. He only pays attention to what Jira likes because it'll increase the likelihood that Jira will sleep with him. He's also in a one-sided beef with Koh, which didn't do him any favours, if we're being honest.
💼Koh - The unapologetic asshole with debilitating social anxiety. He's unlikable, and I think that's the point. I don't quite think that we, as the audience, are meant to really like him. Only Jira is, and so we like him or give him a chance because Jira likes him. And because, as the story progresses, he changes parts of his life to make space for Jira. Does he become the perfect man? No. But parts of him are softer because of Jira.
Ing & Mawin also made rather interesting side characters and friends to both Jira and Pheem
The Relationships, Specifically the Romances
🌹🥀PheemJira - The chemistry between the characters was undeniable, but they'd have never worked for multiple reasons. Noteably,
1. As previously stated, he's fake - From changing his taste in music to getting that new tattoo on him. He never fell inlove with the things Jira liked enough to make them his own. He simply co-opted them to make himself look good in front of his conquest.
2. He's very pushy, especially in the sex department - All he knew how to do was flirt and insinuate that the two should sleep together. A note I wrote in ep 5 stated as follows 'Almost all their interactions end with him suggesting that they go home together. Jira is sometimes willing n other times doesn't seem into it. Like in ep 5, I feel like he took him home coz Pheem asked. Had he not, I don't think he'd have brought it up.'
3. He never made a good muse - Remember when Jira finally asked him to sit so he could paint him, and the man couldn't do that. He kept moving around and once again, resorted to flirting with Jira. I don't paint, but that seemed disrespectful AF to me.
I was never quite convinced that Pheem loved Jira. Even in that emotional and very well done scene in ep 7 in the rage room. Pheem only seemed to care that he won Jira and Koh lost him. Eventually, in all his scheming and jealousy, he fell in love, but it was too late.
🌹🖥️KohJira - I like to refer to love stories like theirs as 'the heart wants what it wants.' They shouldn't work. Actually, they'd probably thrive better if they went their separate ways and never crossed paths ever again. Yet, they choose to remain together. To try and forge ahead even when their circumstances and even values show that they likely will not work long-term.
Something keeps pulling them together. Such love stories always scratch a very special itch in my brain. I love them. They are human in such an interesting way. It's like they scream at you 'Hey, humans and love aren't black and white. They are very much shades of grey.'
They fall for each other partly in the bickering and partly in the silence. I think that Koh made a more interesting love interest because
1. Jira actually liked him. - I found it most interesting and hilarious how Jira was always so physically unresponsive to Pheem. However, with Koh, the man just needed to look at him, and bro would be hard. Jira would try to transfer those horny feelings to Pheem, but it never worked.
He looked like a ragdoll every time Pheem kissed him. So stiff with little emotion across his face. However, with Koh... Refer to the bedroom scene in ep 1, the painting scene in, I believe, ep 8 in Koh's house with the flowers, and the kiss scene on the rooftop.
2. Koh willingly changes to better suit Jira - Not fully, of course. But where Pheem's changes felt manipulative and held an ulterior motive, Koh felt genuine. And the changes were never extravagant.
Simple things like going to get him from his house coz he knows his commute is long, getting breakfast in the morning when Jira slept over, even if he himself said he never liked breakfast, or even braving that club environment to go get Jira.
All these were sincere, and I think they speak to romance better than a tattoo.
3. A clash in values vs attraction - Koh has the personality of a lemon. He's also a ruthless capitalist who only cares about the bottom line. Jira thinks that everything should be above board and humans should care for each other. Koh is also a pro AI fellow, and Jira is an artist at heart. Jira cares about human-made art, and his main source of income is being threatened by the very thing Koh is pushing for. Bruh, when I heard 'input Jira preset' in ep 9, I died. I simply passed away.
However, despite all this, they continue to be attracted to each other. Jira fell 1st, although he tried to deny it, but Koh fell harder. But Koh doesn't seem quite interested in changing. How the hell does such a relationship survive? I like that their relationship ended on a 'happy for now' note, because honestly, I wonder how they'd survive long-term.
🎭🧑🏻🎨The Social Commentary⚙️👨🏻💻
The story posed an interesting question in the AI vs Human debate. I think once on Twitter, I saw Nunchy say that they weren't really looking to answer if AI was good or not. Whether it should be shunned or remain. Rather, they were asking the audience to ask themselves if and how these two things can co-exist side by side. The story doesn't give us a conclusive answer. If you think about Koh as the 'AI' and Jira as the 'Human', you see them work together, clash, diverge, then come together once more.
They end on an uncertain future at the end of the plot. Can the two truly walk and work side-by-side?
I think this is an interesting and real position that reflects where society and technology are today. You cannot escape AI, no matter how much you want to. While people online are loud and angry about AI, the tech bros are still making strides to incorporate it in everything. Job postings are demanding that applicants have the knowledge and willingness to use AI. Many people are also losing jobs to automation. It's maddening, and a lot of fields feel uncertain, especially the creative ones.
Just like Koh and Jira don't know if they can truly work, neither do we, the general population, know what the future holds
💭Random Thoughts💭
a. Some BL ships work incredibly well in darker, moodier stories, and OffFun are squarely on that list. FirstKhao are another. Both excel in grittier plots that make you think, confront feelings and emotions you'd rather not face, and push the envelope in what human relationships are.
b. I find their (OffGun's) fade-to-black NC scenes rather interesting in the BL landscape. I've watched this ship in 3 stories: Not Me, The Trainee & Burnout Syndrome (I dropped Cooking Crush, so we're not counting that). They always have such good chemistry, and their kissing is so good, but their NC scenes are always so short.
I don't quite follow ships outside of TV shows, so I often wonder if this is something they've chosen for themselves. To always go with fade-to-black scenes. I'm not saying they should adopt the scenes in shows like 'Don't Say No', 'My Stubborn', or the currently airing 'Peach Lover', but I'd like more. Unless they don't want to do it, in which case, I'll respect it
c. I'm glad the show introduced me to Dew both as an artist and an actor. I added 'Mr. Kill' to my 'plan to watchlist' because of him. A show I'd originally ignored since bromance is not my jam

A slo-burn worth investing your time into.
This is one of those shows which seems slow in the beginning but you go through the first 2-3 episodes, it finally picks up the pace and you realise that the show is really about the depth and emotions of different people which are being explored only after their deaths after this person who's supposed to having difficulty understanding social and emotional cues so it's an irony in itself. How this guy can understand people better than the people around the decreased.All the major characters including the main character, his uncle and his neighbour. All of them have shown growth throughout the series. The first grew out of his inability to understand emotions (which doesn't sound scientifically accurate though), the second outgrew his past after learning the truth and moved on from being regretful to accepting. The third one become a confident, protective and more expressive towards his friend cum love interest.

Woah.
Everything about this from start to finish was amazing. The cinematography, the acting, the story. You can really tell that every little detail was carefully crafted, the amount of symbolic messaging that I picked up on was crazy! Maybe it's because I haven't watched a lot of kdramas but I seriously have never seen one that pays so much to detail. The topic of abuse is so heavy and sensitive that I was terrified that they'd misrepresent it somehow but they really went above and beyond my expectations. 10/10, would recommend.Was this review helpful to you?

it should've been a movie
Idea is great, exacution not so much. Is it worth 5 hours of watching? NO. So skip this one.There are sooo many "empty walk" in it. ex. Who needs to watch 3 minutes of female walking thru classroms? Nobody.
It's good that it's not predictable about who's culpit. If it was the movie it would be better cuz they would have to remove all of that empty walk.
Mostly boring.
my review should be longer so .. _________________________________________________________________________________ here it is
