Ended up routing for Sin&Jinjang <3

I was quite confused during the first 4–5 episodes, wondering where the story was actually heading — with all the novel writing, unspoken feelings, and flashbacks. But by episode 6, things finally started to make sense.

It’s a sweet, fluffy drama with a touch of suspense. The character development progresses nicely — from overcoming personal traumas to learning to express their feelings and strengthening their friendships.

The second, third, and fourth couples also got a fair share of screen time and proper closure. Sin and Jinjang are absolutely adorable, and when they reunited, I was over the moon! So glad they ended up together. Though, I have to say, some of their scenes gave off Love Sea vibes — just my POV.

It would’ve been a solid 7, but those NC scenes were hella hot — so 7.5 it is! 🔥

I honestly don’t know how to review this because while everyone seems to find some flaw in it, I actually found it kind of flawless.. Everything about this drama worked for me.. Yes, even the vague ending with no clear explanation of how he got to the present and ended up with the FL.. I believe it was meant to be open to interpretation and honestly I am satisfied with that..
Even if you argue that the flaws can’t be ignored, I feel they are immensely compensated for by the strength of the script and the performances.. The writing carries such emotional weight and the actors breathe life into it so convincingly that the few imperfections barely matter.. For me, this is a drama whose emotions feel alive.. Remarkable on a technical, aesthetic and narrative level, it stands out as an outstanding piece of work..

Well, the opening paragraph turned into one giant, incoherent mess.. But I suppose that’s alright.. It’s a reaction that came from feeling, not analysis and maybe that’s better than trying to make it sound perfectly organized or polished..

Honestly, casting Lee Chae Min as the male lead was a bold move but it paid off.. Many people doubted the choice and were openly criticizing but he didn’t disappoint for a second.. I actually thought YoonA would have to carry the show but LCM was so good that he even outshone her in several moments.. I am genuinely happy for him and really hope he keeps picking strong scripts from here on unlike Crushology and Hierarchy, which were honestly, complete dumpster fires..

The drama avoids unnecessary distractions.. We know what we are getting and who the bad guys are.. Even though romance is one of the central themes, it’s not presented in an overly grand way.. I was mainly in it for the romance and the cooking and I was satisfied with both.. Honestly, half the drama revolves around cooking competitions and they are surprisingly fun to watch.. I mean, how could they not be?? The characters reactions whenever they tasted her food, along with those silly but hilarious CGI sequences were pure entertainment..

The supporting cast were great.. They were fun to watch.. I hated Kang Mok Ju the most but I liked that she never begged for forgiveness or showed regret for betraying the King.. Even in her final moments, she stood by her choice.. I wished the bad guys had suffered more, their deaths felt too easy.. They killed so many characters I cared about.. The last two episodes were basically a Korean version of the Red Wedding and it was brutal to watch..

I wanted to mention a few other things..

In the present timeline, when the royal kitchen cooks turned out to be her colleagues, I thought that was a really nice touch.. And when they mentioned the Michelin reviewer, I totally thought it would be the lady who used to taste the King’s food..

I really wish this drama had been longer, maybe around 16 episodes.. Seeing him come to the present and figure out how to live here would have been so much fun to watch.. Imagine him trying to be polite when he’s literally a king, that attitude alone would have been a pain for everyone around him, but hilarious for us to watch.. And when he finds out history painted him as a tyrant?? I would love to see his reaction.. Plus, it would have been nice to see how the couple adjusts to their new life together.. If it had been 16 episodes, we could have had all of that..

And honestly I hate how Netflix keeps butchering the subtitles.. When the King called Ji Yeong ' my other half ' they translated it as ' companion'. That scene would have had so much more impact if it were translated properly.. A lot of people are missing the real emotion because of these lazy translations..

Overall, beyond its narrative, Bon Appetit, Your Majesty shines just as brightly.. The visuals are stunning and beautifully rendered.. It’s a drama that manages to be exciting, nuanced and visceral.. It all comes down to whether you connect with the drama’s emotional core.. I understand some of the criticisms but personally, I didn’t share any of those issues.. For me, it was a good drama with strong performances from the leads and an equally good supporting cast.. Even with its flaws, the script leaves you feeling satisfied and happy by the end..

Unfortunately, totally missed the mark on friends-to-lovers trope I adore...

Friends-to-lovers might be one of my all time favorite trope in fiction. On paper, this BL had everything to seduce me but it failed miserably in doing so.

Why ? Simply because it failed in its execution of one of the most important part of friends-to-lovers series : the set up and build up of the relationship. It flied so fast that there were not enough angst to make the romance compelling, not enough time to establish the stakes...The deal was done much too quick. The story should have been constructed very differently in my opinion and the repetitive flashback with very average kids acting did not help at all...

Once I mourned the fact the relationship in the drama was not going to be as I wanted it to be, I must admit that I enjoyed the series more in its second half, it was quite average and expected in terms of storyline but I still wanted to watch the conclusion.

I would not recommend this drama as I have very lukewarm feelings about the series. Chemistry was good overall and some of the NSFW scenes were hot. However, the writing failed at establishing properly the stakes of the romance and the acting was a mixed bag without any memorable outstanding emotional moments. On paper : it had everything to hit me right...In reality : I had to mourn what could have been...

A healing journey on Jeju Island

A cute mini drama that takes the viewer on a friends road trip, one of them is heartbroken and the other two take their bestie on a trip to cheer him up. The friendship between the three boys was definitely the best part of the series : all their moments felt believable and sincere. However, I wish the romances(s) would have been better as I felt the chemistry was a little bland on that aspect of the scenario.

Casting-wise, Hwang In Youp was clearly the stand out of this short drama : both his acting and his role itself. The remainder of the cast did an an okay job but were a bit lacking in the strong moments.

I would recommend this to people looking for a short series featuring friendship amongst heartbreak. If you like Hwang In Youp, it is very worth your time as he has some really impactful scenes in the series.

Finally found the drama I was searching for… a true gem ??‍♂️

When I first saw the preview of this drama, I hesitated for days — should I watch it or not? But the moment I watched the first episode, there was no going back. I ended up finishing the whole drama in one go.

From the very first episode, it never felt boring for even a second. The characters — the psychopath Ki Ka Young and Genie Iblis — were just perfect. Their personalities, chemistry, and growth made the story so addictive. The plot itself beautifully showed how people can be selfish inside and think only about themselves — but some moment was heartfelt especially when youtuber made his last wish for her wife.

As a fan of fantasy and rom-com dramas, this was exactly what I had been searching for.

About the ending — honestly, it wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t bad either. When a drama ends tragically, we blame the writer for making us cry. But when they make a miracle and let both characters live, we still blame them for making it unbelievable 😅 What a joke, right? Personally, I’m just happy they got to live again — my head and heart felt so at peace after that.

And the acting… absolutely amazing. Suzy and Kim Woo Bin were outstanding, and the chemistry between them — whether they were fighting or being romantic — was at its peak as always. The supporting cast also did an incredible job.

I don’t remember much of the OST in detail, but every track blended perfectly with the story. Nothing ever felt out of place. And honestly, these two made me smile so much throughout the show 🥹❤️

If you haven’t watched it yet, please do. There are only a few dramas that I never regret spending my time on — and this is one of them. I rarely rewatch K-dramas, maybe just two or three in total, but if I could erase my memory and experience this one again, I absolutely would. It’s definitely worth rewatching.

Overall, Genie, Make a Wish is the drama I’ve been looking for — one I could finish in a single night without any boredom.

Some K-dramas just hit different 😭💫
Started with “just one episode”… ended up finishing Genie, Make a Wish in a day 😩❤️
The story, emotions, and chemistry — everything was just too good!
Now this is what real addiction looks like 😭✨

a whole mess

I was so excited, the pilot was amazing, I read the novel so I had big expectations about it (my first mistake)

The first episodes were amazing I definitely did like it, even when they changed part of the original storyline.
Then I started to see how they completely changed not just the storyline but also the characters. Why is khanin just acting like a brat and obsessed with charan??? yes, the character in the novel is a brat but he has discipline and does take the competition seriously, he's a leader and it shows you that he's definitely a good choice to be the next prince. in the series he's always complaining about learning the story of the *excuse me* NATION THAT HE'S GOING TO LEAD, LIKE HELLO????

Ramil characters was my favorite in the novel, here I hate him. he's annoying, a coward and pathetic, they completely fucked ramilpaytai storyline when they were such a good and complex couple. That made me angry and I lost interest in the series. don't want to say more bc I'll write a whole essay about it.

Jay and Calvin were there...

And the one that freaking bothers me the most is Ava, why the fuck they made her just withdrawal when she was fighting for her right to participate in the competition in all the episodes. again, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
Since they didn't make the groups for the competition I knew it would be weird but I didn't expect all this mess to happen.

The good things are the visuals, beautiful scenery, the orchestra is beautiful, the outfits were stunning and congrats for the improvement of zee and nunew's acting, they were great as main actors and chakri, he's the only enjoyable character.

I'm really sorry for all the fans that were waiting so long, the actors and actresses that worked so hard. it's not their fault to have a such a bad script, please don't leave aof near of the scripts anymore 😭 the original one was really good, what's the reason of asking a WRITER for a novel if you're going to change almost everything????

this is my drama of the year

i am honestly shocked at the average ratings. people seem to hate the attempt at politics but if anything it seemed real to me. US bombing first, researching later, people being barred from places bcs of xenophobia, but i digress.

i absolutely loved how the romance was incorporated in the storyline and the absolute feast it was to see jihyun and dongwon as munju and sanho. munju is shown to be such a perfect charecter who has had a fair share of struggles but still doesnt loose the goodness in her. her cheating husband trope confused me bcs i couldnt think of any other reason for him to do so but them loosing their child which anything makes everything sm worse.

sanho is absolutely the best male lead, green forest guy to ever exist. he did everything for munju, like laid down his life for her. i loved how he was always shown to have a thing for her before their romance became the main center piece. even the ending and his decision to stay away from her was so she doesnt loose her dream of being the president to save him and get cursed out by the public.
i liked how each charecter had some thought process put into making them, how there was a reason for why they acted the way they acted. munju's mother in law was an inherently bitter woman who wanted everyone to see how trash americans are and make money on the backs of the people who spread misfortune on the land. she was bitter that her mon left her and munju caught it. she just wanted to ruin everything and see it all dall down infront of her.

the idishia plot was funny but again kinda true. US loves sending their troops in other countries in the name of keeping peace there and small countries sometimes really do feel at their last nerve to have a weapon that keeps them safe. to me the whole plot felt happenable. there are people who benefit from wars and instigate it, regardless of whoever is the collateral damage. sometimes those people are the victims of such cases who cross the line into unsatible revenge making more victims.

if i was to talk about my favourite scenes from the drama i couldnt really choose bcs i LOVED dongwon's and jihyun's performance but the last scene in the ship before it blew up takes the crown. the way sanho easily put munju and her future before his own life and told her to move on with her life and he would always keep a look out for her–meaning that if she ever needs him, he will be there. he choose to stay away from her and not return to korea for her sake.

i also lastly want to touch up on the christmas song that played on the radio and how absolutely hauntingly pretty it was.

this whole drama had me at the edge of my seat week after week and after a run of bad less-than-16-ep-dramas, this one delivered so hard that i didnt feel like something was missing or was filler. thats why i feel like the s2 talks should be stopped. this masterpiece doesnt need another season.

thank you for coming to my ted talk
(it was my first review so i was basically rambling)

Recommended - Quite Good

I've read the other reviews and see understand their points but to me, this was a delight. It did not suffer from the uneven pace of other dramas, or the tortured miscommunications between characters but was delightfully straightforward in both the story arc and the acknowledgment early on of mutual affection. The development of the FL from immature teen to highly competent and gutsy competitor with the Yan witch was enjoyable--and I must give the Li Jia Qi tremendous credit for character development spanning a period of years. I saw Bi Wen Jun in A Class of Her Own, a show I loved, but his character there was something of a one-note Jonny -- here, he was given more room to develop and showed he could play the gamut from arrogant and dangerous Prince to a vulnerable guy almost afraid to say "I love you" to the woman he is in love with. Unlike many dramas with extended misunderstandings between characters, or forced and almost absurd plot twists, this show moved along briskly and consistently. Nothing felt forced or fake but fit nicely with the story and the characters. My criticism is reserved for the last episode, which I think was handled ineptly - it was almost rushed and the timeline was unclear, however satisfying the last scene was.

Pure masochism to wish that life was like in this drama

I just rewatched Goblin for - I don't know - 15th time? Maybe more.
I hate rewatching it. At the same time I absolutely can't take my eyes off the screen.
If you are a dreamer like me and you desperately wish for a bit of romance in your dull everyday life, "Goblin" is like medicine. It delivers emotions I can't feel on daily basis. It delivers hope, that even if this life sucks, I have the possibility to relive it a few more times. The show helps me to cope with my irrational hope for fate to exist. That probably, just probably there is someone predestined for me to meet and love. I thought I experienced sometng like that, but it turned out to be more of a tragedy, than making my dreams come true. This is where I went back to my dull everyday life. And here comes "Goblin". Each tme, when I need this spark of hope. When I cry and tend to think nothing really makes any sense. I always come back to the plot. I laugh, I cry a lot. Soundtrack is usually on the top of my Spotify Wrapped every year. I am even planning to go alone to Quebec. Because this drama helped be to believe there is more to it all and maybe I still can't see it.

You Can’t SHAME The SHAMELESS

Shen Wenlang is a blabbermouth who have the emotional awareness of a tablespoon, Sheng Shaoyou is a fluffy bunny with the temperament of an angry wolf, Gao Tu is a professional lair, and Hua Yong is…well, there’s a lot wrong with Hua Yong, but imma leave that for later, cuz right now I’m in a hurry. My aunt just called a family meeting, my grandmother is pregnant and she ran away with his boyfriend so…

WTH was that ending? People where are we running to? Who is chasing us? We were this close to perfection.

Anyway, I know for sure Hua Yong managed to manipulated me through the screen too, but I just can’t prove it. Cuz, tell me why I started this drama screaming at his lying arse, and here I am today, ready to defend him with all I have. Regardless, it isn’t much, just a half eaten sandwich and some gum, but still, I’d gladly give them away to defend that lunatic, who frankly needs to be smacked in the head with a Bible or put in a straitjacket, cuz the mfker is cray cray.

And I thought Cir (Boy Next World) was a psycho for inventing a whole parallel universe just to get a boyfriend, turns out there are levels to being a Lunatic when it comes to love. Let me lay it down for ya.

THE LUNATICS HOT 100: BL AUDITION
#1 Duan Zi’ang (New entry) = Kill to Love. REASON: Dude went to war and destroyed an entire country so he could kidnap his ex-boyfriend in hope to rekindle their doom relationship. Spoiler alert: it worked-ish.

#2 Hua Yong (New Entry) = ABO Desire. REASON: He’s a Hua Yong.

#3 Huai’ En (-2) = Meet You at The Blossom. REASON: Destroyed the livelihood of his lover’s family, so his lover would only be dependant on him.

#4 Ming (-3) = My Stand-In. REASON: It all started with Ming having a back fetish… smh.

#5 Cir (-4) = Boy Next World. REASON: My man invented a whole different universe just to get the boy.

#26 A Tuo (New Entry) = Secret Lover. REASON: Dude dated every girl who was interested in his crush to keep them away from him. That’s next level dedication.

Just to list a few. The only reason Hua Yong isn’t #1 is cuz the level of causalities he left behind weren’t as much, though, I have no proof, so it’s anyone’s guess at this point.

First off, to get something off my chest real quick. It’s getting real annoying with all these ‘I’m only here for the second couple’ nonsense crap that’s been going on in the bl world lately. “I’m only watching this because of the second couple. I skip all the other scenes except for the second couple.” OKAY AND? Dafug you want, Sharon? A cookie? An award, is that what you want Bob? I need some of y’all to give it a rest, cuz it’s no longer cute.

And I'm not talking about screen time, cuz in the case of Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang, although they were barely in the main story of the novel, I still had high hopes, and want more scenes with them, cuz they didn't have enough for my liking. I want ten episodes of Wenlang begging, Gao Tu being treated like he deserves and lots of kisses, but ya, we got what we got, and that finale was...yeah.

Anyway, so yes, I get it, sometimes we all get second couple syndrome, or the story of the second leads interest us more, but some of y’all have started to make it your entire personality and won’t shut up about it, to the point you start hating on the main couples, and have to let everyone and their mama know you're only here for the second couple. In the last couple of months alone, I saw it with Revenged Love, The Next Prince, Memory of Rati, to mention a few. Like, we get it, you are not that special Susan, go sit down.

I watched this drama for all four characters and l did not skip any scenes, and let me tell you, I had the most fun without being bitter and counting screen time even in effing previews. These four characters made the show and I remember them all equally and fondly, cuz really, it’s a story about MEN BEING PREGNANT, even if Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu were in the entire series for 5 seconds only, we’d still remember them. Cuz again, mpreg. Arrg.

SHENG SHAOYOU
32, 33 exes who were soft and loved to cry. Yeah, at some point we need to dissect this behaviour, cuz damn ho! Hua Yong was right, Mr. Sheng is a playboy, cuz did y’all see the moves he put on in the beginning of the drama when he was trying to get Hua Yong’s cookie? OMG, that s-tier Alpha was on!!

Mr. Sheng’s temper was adorable, omg, who even looks that cute being angry? Worse thing, it was just a front most of the time for his softie heart which was just so forgiven, cuz forgiving Hua Yong after he pouted a little and looked real sad at the cameras for an episode was wild.

I felt so bad for Mr. Sheng when he was being manipulated. Him and Gao Tu needed hugs, cuz those two best-friends (Don’t tell them I said this) from Country P had them and me stressing with their antics. I cried with him when Hua Yong left after attacking him. Hua Yong in the name of love put this poor man through heartbreak, high levels of stress, emotional abuse, physical pain that needed trips to the hospital, childbirth, Shen Wenlang, an identity crisis, and well… Hua Yong. Poor, poor fluffy bunny.

On a side note, Mr. Sheng is not all that innocent. The 33 crying virgins aside, dude was hitting that Omega girl while in a situationship/living together type of thing with Hua Yong. And, he was too soft-hearted and forgiven to the people around him. His father, brothers, Hua Yong. The way I’d have milked my anger with Hua Yong. But, after everything was exposed, Mr. Sheng went ‘alright, but lie to me again and walk out that door.’ Dude, that's it? The two s-tier Alphas in this drama were such losers when it came to love. Someone stalked you for years and homeboy went, ‘oh you’re a fan of me.’ No, Bob, he’s a stalker! If only you knew the things he did with your hands while you were sleeping.

Anyway, I love how kind-hearted Sheng’s real personality was, and how soft and adorable he is while secretly loving being pampered. Not gonna lie, I love the mouth on him too. There’s an episode when he was in a hurry, and dude literally shouted at his driver. ‘Have I lived long enough? is that it why you are planning to waste some of my time for me?’ LOL. Imagine if him and Mr. Shen were actually friends, they’d be so insufferable to be around.

GAO TU
My baby, my sweety-baby boo. Oh my beautiful Omega, how I wanna slap you with a rubber chicken. Hear me out, in the beginning I felt so much for Gao Tu to the point, I was looking for tickets to travel into my computer and punch Shen Wenlang in the throat, but as time went on, I went…

Yeah, Gao Tu is literally creating his own demons, and must like being miserable cuz, Sharon why? That fake Beta kept lying, and lying, and lying. Like, we all keep saying Hua Yong deserves an Oscar for his acting, but Gao Tu deserves one as well. He’d kept this lie going with Wenlang for 10 years, that’s a lifetime achievement best actor award right there.

Anyway, I felt the most for Gao Tu, everything with his sister, that sperm donor of his, and being in love with a man who hated Omegas. Man could not catch a break, and I just wanted to bubble wrap him and hide him away. But at the same time, I wanted to shake him. Yes, Mr. Shen sucks, but please talk to him, at least give him the benefit of the doubt for the sake of your friendship. Arrrggg.

I had a protect Gao Tu voice in my head that went, ‘Count your days Mr. Shen, it’s on sight! Whenever he said something hurtful to him.’ But at the end of the day, misunderstandings and miscommunications were their biggest enemy, and Gao Tu was rather the kind who’d rather go quietly into that night than make a whole lot of noise, and so in the end he had to endure all that hurt.

Mr. Shen didn’t suffer enough for my liking, but also, it was enough cuz of the lying. I’m glad our Gao Tu got his happy ending, a lovely son and a lover who…well, he’s Shen Wenlang and he comes with Hua Yong, so… but, he got his love and if he’s happy I’m happy for him. Still, I wanna shake him for making me sad for him when his problems would have been solved with the truth.

SHEN WENLENG
Abeg, make no one’s son come disturb me like Shen Wenlang did Gao Tu, cuz brotha why? At one point I was like, this man needs to rent out his brain and put his mouth out for sale, cuz he clearly don’t know how to use them correctly.

In kinder terms, Mr. Shen is pathetic and an embarrassment. No, I will not be explaining myself. Cuz really, you all saw it. Dude was literally trying to start a fight with a poisoned pregnant s-tier alpha on his hospital bed. He visited someone he’d missed and in love with and immediately insulted his home.

Yes, Mr. Shen’s mouth is a problem, but you know what, I don’t blame him for everything that happened. He trusts Gao Tu who he’s known for 10 years, so if he says he’s a Beta, that’s what he’s gonna believe. Sure, the Omega hating part is all on him cuz of his past trauma, and as a CEO of a pheromone company not being able to smell Gao Tu is an omega is wild, plus he’s emotionally constipated, but at the end of the day, they both to blame. Though, after the finale, I too would have ran away for three years.

Yes, we can argue: how the eff was Gao Tu supposed to know he felt different than the words he spoke? Cuz Mr. Shen was out there pretending to be with Hua Yong, telling Gao Tu his scent smelled, and he wasn’t pretty enough to be office decoration. HAHAHAHAH, No but, why is he like this??

But yeah, huge fan of Mr. Shen, you know, when he isn’t speaking. I think he should become a silent monk or something, cuz whenever he opens his mouth I go: Aeiii fresh boy, mr. mouth, mr spoke inside, mr information super highway, my friend will you keep quiet?

I’m glad he grew the eff up when he found out the truth. Truthfully, Shen Wenlang was the best. Yes, dude should pay taxes whenever he opened his mouth cuz all he did was littered with his words, but he was also a gentle soul. He cared and loved so much. Whenever Hua Yong was sick he was there, sure with an attitude but he was there, and the lights at Gao Tu’s… even being concern for Sheng Shaoyou, and they were born enemies. Plus he's basically HuaSheng’s second dad, cuz he’s the best godfather ever.

Also, I don’t care what both of them says, Hua Yong and Shen Wenlang are besties with a bow, cuz come on. I’m pretty sure someone would be like, ‘Mr Shen, where’s your best-friend, and he’d go, that lunatic? Who’d be friends with that crazy enigma?” hahhaa, but they do care. Asking each other for love advice and whatnot. I have no doubt when he asked Hua Yong ‘you cooking, who are you poisoning?', if he’d said a name and asked him to come and help, he’d complain but still go be look out.’ Best friend behaviour if you ask me.


HUA YONG.
HAHAHAHA. I’m sorry, but this enigma had me dying of laughter whenever he was on screen. Especially in episode 6. FAM!! Dude acted so traumatised, didn’t want to be touched, felt dirty and whatnot, and the whole time the mfker was a virgin. Sheng-xian-sheng was losing his mind with worry and regret, and Hua Yong was probably thinking, ‘1, 2, 3, cry now. 4,5,6 look real sad and shake a little.’ HHAHAHAHA

Every time I see Hua Yong on screen, I go, ‘here comes Mr. Sheng-xian-sheng-ing, he’s about to go, ‘Sheng-xian-sheng’ and completely do something diabolical while looking like an angel. FAM, this enigma for sure needs to be put in a zoo to be studied, cuz why?

No, but, this Enigma saw some foreigner boy one time under a tree and went, ‘that one, I want that one right there,’ and made it his whole identity. He’s a black flag, sure, but when all is said and done, he’s just a loser in love, who happens to have psycho tendencies. Man even had a proposal strategy in place, and while I was going awwww at their kiss, that enigma was like ‘taming desire is like taming an animal.’ Hua Yong trained poor Sheng-xian-sheng like a dog with the cookies. Ahhhh. He wanted that man, and he did not care how he got him, and frankly, I respect that.

Also, I wanna know, did Hua Yong wake up in the mornings and while brushing his teeth went through his scenes for the day? like: Today, imma pretend to be an Omega, make pregnant soup for Sheng-xian-sheng, pack my suitcase in case I wanna be dramatic, get more pink makeup, speak slow and low, make some cookies, oh and overdose on pheromones and almost die to teach Sheng-xian-sheng a lesson. Yep, it’s gonna be a wonderful day. HAHAHAHAH.

Oh Hua Yong. Compared to him, Gao Tu’s lying was nothing. This man was so manipulative and such a professional liar, it took literal natural disaster for his lie to come to light. The gods were probably watching, and Mother Nature was like, naaah, fuck that dude, that’s enough, then boom, earthquake. Then the mfker had the audacity while Sheng-xian-sheng’s world was crumbling to go, ‘Yes, it was me that night. Yes, I am not an omega. Anyway, I love you, can I keep pursuing you?” HE HAD NO SHAME WHATSOEVER. Cuz, dude, read the fucking room.

Speaking of shame, I was dying of laughter when he invited himself to dinner with Sheng-xian-sheng’s ex that time while he was being iced by him. Hua Yong was like, ‘yes, come with us for dinner, I won’t kill you.’ And I was like: ‘Who is us? aint no one invited you to this. Honey, read the room, you are the effing elephant.’ HAHAHAHAH. So shameless. I love him. And yes, I am questioning my morals, thank you.

Like Hua Yong was so good, looking all soft and cute for Sheng-xian-sheng so he’d get what he wants. Me? I can’t even act cute to ask for something from a partner. I tried one time, even stood in front of the mirror to prepare and everything, but at the end of the day all I could come up with was, ‘hey hmm dude, send me money, my pet chicken swallowed a spoon and its in the hospital. She needs emergency chicken surgery.’ Yet, Hua Yong is out there lining up Sheng-xian-sheng’s exes for insight, drafting proposals to get his man and marry him, making soups and cookies, learning to cry, running a company that could literally buy half the planet, while still finding time to be Sheng-xian-sheng’s dream man.

Poor Hua Yong is not a lunatic, no, he has suffered, while having to keep up with his lies, it must have been so hard for him. He worked so hard, and I frankly think he deserves applauds for succeeding instead of that straitjacket. I’m glad he also got his happy ending, regardless he’s beefing with his 3-year-old child cuz he's a jealous idiot, but he’s happy so that’s all that matter.

FINALE: Yeah, liked it, but not gonna lie, I expected more, instead it was rushed and we barely got to enjoy it. I am hoping for a special episode or like deleted scenes cuz... that was just cruel.

Plot-wise, this is a bl drama about pregnant men, I don’t think I need to sale anyone on watching it. Like, you should already be watching it, have finished watching it, or like me, on your 56th rewatch. There's no in-between.

All in all, I read the novel and enjoyed it, so I was all in for this drama, I laughed, cried, cursed and laughed some more. I’m now a die-hard D4 fan, cuz those four were really good in their roles and managed to make me like them outside of the drama as well. I want yearly dramas from them. I HIGHLY recommend this, it may appear slow in the start but trust me, it gets better. Was literally counting seconds to Saturday every week.

I’m gonna miss them. The wait for more drama from them is gonna be torture.

Anywho, thanks for reading and Merry Christmas. Yes, you read that right, I’m now in my enigma era, so I do what I want and I aint gonna follow no damn calendar, so Merry Christmas!

Utterly charming, a pure delight!

Rarely have I been more pleasantly surprised by a show I went into watching completely blind!
Right off the bat I will say that if you are looking for something deep or dramatic, or a story that really dives into vampire lore then this is not the show for you.
However, if you are in the market for a story that really understands how silly, camp, and queer vampires inherently are (I like to call this the What We Do In The Shadows approach to vampirism) while also delivering grounded and humanising portrayals of its characters, then you are very much in the right place.

Due to its relatively short runtime the show really has to strip down its story to the bare essentials, leaving only what is most important. This, for the most part, works greatly in its favour - putting focus solely on strong characterisations and important plot points while leaving no time for unnecessarily drawn out conflicts or melodrama.
I was in fact shocked by how much time the show sets aside for slow, quiet moments between its characters, and how skillfully it weaves important plot elements into these scenes, conveying all that is needed without having to hurry through multiple, slapped-together exposition dumps.
The only time the story feels rushed is, somewhat unfortunately, during the climactic final two episodes, but personally I didn't find this particularly bothersome.

All in all this is an utterly delightful vampiric romp (though it barely concerns itself with such trivial things as lore or backstory) with deeply charming characters and a fantastic, slightly off-beat sense of humour which celebrates its characters in all their camp glory without ever being so over-the-top as to take away from more emotional moments.
Two hours very well spent, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A MASTERPIECE

This drama is the best one of 2025 for me. Every scene is so aesthetic and cinematic that it feels like you’re watching a movie, not a drama. The lines were also incredibly powerful. Namkoong Min never disappoints when it comes to choosing scripts — and the same goes for Jeon Yeo-been. Every drama of hers is amazing and I adore her acting, but in my opinion, Our Movie is her BEST drama. No one else could’ve played Daeum the way she did. The acting was phenomenal. And it’s been such a long time since I’ve watched a drama where every single OST was this good. I cry every time I listen to Mimi. Ah, I’m not really good at writing reviews — so in short: just watch it.
Daeum & Jeha, my aesthetic couple i love you🤍
