This is a good type of "young guys become friends cuz of a goal" drama. Its a feel good, you want them to all come together as a team and bond. Its a coming of age story about a team of talented young athletes to train in competitive swimming to rank on the national team. This first season is about over coming personal issues. This show is less about the sport and more about the people and their swim training not competing to get on the national team. A few of their problems are: poor/work, English tests, becoming a team, past issues, and parent problems. Is there romance? There is a plot that could lead to something! Not a BL- just alot of dude in swimsuits... Need I say more?
Not in the cast list!! Dr.You Sheng, I think she is an impotent part of the cast. Not only is she a possible "love" interest but she helps the team with English and supports them. She has just as much air time as other actors.
I for one enjoy the sillyness that Cheng Zhehai and this role is the main reason I kept watching this show.
- I recommend this if you want a something that makes you feel like getting up and getting things done!

Do Not start if there is not another season! 100% was upset that this show was over. The show itself is great! I really enjoyed it. I love a strong girl lead AND there is a gang aspect as well. I wish there was more "gang" dramas out there. I just love them. I could watch 50+ more episodes of these characters. With there being so few, it leads you to wonder why they are setting up plots that don't lead to anything. If your going to have a short season, then I don't want to see a build up for the next show til the end. Why even show us those roles(who knows if that actor will even be in a season 2). And the whole part of her going to be a bodyguard never felt real to me. It never felt like she was "working" more like hanging out and would come/ go as she wanted. Over all- I would not have started if I knew it was going to be this short.

Yang Yang kept me watching this show lol TBH is this the best gaming drama? heck no. Its predictable as soon as you know someone's stories you know what the issue will be and you just wait to see how many episodes until they bring it up. But the actors do a really good job and no one is "evil" just like in real life. Each role has growth in it and you laugh and cry with them. Just so everyone knows- Yes I feel like they set it up for romance and maybe in season 2 we will see more of that.
Recommend if you want a Teams can win anything even if they lose drama/ best friends show.

Plot-Enter our ML(Oze)- who we guess is a high school by his clothing (also his mom calls him underage). Ichinose has the right physique and charisma for the role, but he makes for an unconvincing teen rebel as he in clearly in his 30s. xD But lets get back to the plot- juvenile delinquent, quick to anger, and out to fight the world- our hero has no path in life- he's no longer doing sports and his family lost their sushi shop. With no money to pay the bills. he's dad holds stop signs and his mom is happy to make money from other men. He's dad knows she is cheating but he accepts it as he is to blame for losing the shop. Oze is lured by promises of status, women, and money to join a sumo stable. He is reminded of the good times when he was little of listening to the sumo's tournaments with his dad. Sadly, ML dose not take the job seriously and is obnoxious on and off ring. He might be winning but he's not let go of his old ways of fighting and that leads to the others at the stable bulling him. I'll be honest- its not the worst I have seen but its not great to watch that happen. So he's fighting with the people he lives with, the people in charge of the sumo ring, and his family.
He's winning- so he's living life- going out and partying- gets himself a gf. Uses the people around him to pay for things for his gf. Meets up with a rich party guy that love to drink and loves girls. Oze becomes someone who was bought and shows up to the stable drunk alot.
I don't want to give everything away but he's whole plot is the underdog told twice I'd say- first at his stable and then in the ring. Very coming of age plot- theres the turning point where his life switches from delinquent to someone who cares about their goals. He rises and he falls- rises and falls =D
Other Roles- Reporters: Older reporter taking on a younger (FL?) under his wing after she was forced to leave political writing. He spends his time looking after her and hoping she likes sumo. She spends most of her time not wanted to be there but wanting to support Oze . She wanted to write a big story on how traditions should change but ends up writing an underdog story( We never see it done). Other reporters are there to make spicy drama- sub plot with fl reporter( might be her ex) and another reporter that sees the dark side of the sumo money world.
Families- Stable- Stable master Ensho and his wife spend most of their time saving their home from the rebel vs the sumo ring officials and Ensho's own personal fight with another stable master.
Elite stable family- They set it up for them to be the top goal. They have all the glory, all the media, and all the shiny toys. Sadly that stable master treats his son very poorly and is a broken/ cold home. The mom in this family will do Anything for her son....Very toxic and emotionally damaging for the son( Who also must be in he's 30s).
Two face- silent beast...Has a horrible childhood trauma that can be triggered. He is the man in the ring no one wants to meet. Oze meets him and they have an on/off silent friend/revenge plot. Out of everyone he's past is the one we know the most about.
There's also normal roles at the stable- top jerk, other underdogs, the older guy thats time is almost over, he guy that wants to be the older guy.- These guys I hated and likes and then grow to like them all =D


But Should you watch this? For me I kept watching this for the tradition of sumo, I thought that was interesting. I also enjoyed the fighting and the struggling to improve. I thought all the actors/actresses did well. If you can't handle boxing or other hand to hand fighting movies- then you shouldn't watch this. For me the bulling was not that bad. What I hate is the reporter talked about how its not ok but then nothing happened. That's what bugs me about it. The ML is also a bully but that dose not mean he should also be treated that way. But there is also issues with him not being respectful-its very complicated but still not right.
~This is really long... The End~

What is love.. What is marriage...
For me I feel like this drama tries to solve that with the stories of 3 modern couples. cohabitation/contract marriage with past romance wounds couple, being a hard working woman vs carefree man, and a struggling long term relationship. This show tackles hard questions like traditional roles, sexual harassment, open/close communication, man vs women responsibility's.... Everything that happens has a reason and a purpose. The writing is very skilled and it is easy to miss something. There is no "filler plot". No one has to have a huge over the top emotional over acted moment to make a point or have the plot move on. More than once there is a cliche plot mentioned but it is glazed over as unimportant because they are adults. Ex- love triangles, yes they are there but instead of conflict that makes the Leads question their "love" it is used to build other emotions like understanding of their core person.
One of the things each couple has in common is money, but it is a factor that effects them differently. 1. Rent/ daily needs- a feeling of belonging somewhere. 2. Being young and together but not communicating about the future/ wedding expenses/ providing for a wife. 3. Being the only person that can support your mom when they get older + they have a disability- leading to holding back your true-self.
This drama hit me on a emotional level. I cried a few times. I feel like no matter where you are at in your dating life- this story has something for everyone to learn from. If not, then at lest you'll understand the importance of room 19 and a pocked of stars. 100% recommend.

Great great kisses....


~soft spoilers-
LOVE-
-For sure high in the list of best kisses.
-Best use of cat- they lived with it. In other dramas you can just tell the animals hate the actors. It felt like the cat could do what it wanted on set and was their real cat. lol
- No filler or extra drama. When the past is brought up its not a huge issues like in other shows.
-They don't use sex as a way to get people to want to keep watching. They don't need to take off shirts to show bodys or be extra provocative. Its there but its not cheesy.
- Lee Min Ki- his acting has so much depth. Starts off like a robot but in the end he is human as he recovers from his problems.
Don't like
The leads are cold-Its not in a bad way. They are just very damaged and try to protect themselves. Ji Ho had dead eyes with Se Hee sometimes -which would bother me as she is happy person.
-creeper plot- not needed for any plot, her going to work was enough for me. I think the protectiveness later is enough.
-sexual harassment- her emotional state is quick to change and we dont hear them talking about it or her finding out what he did for her.
- Her going away- I don't see it as selfish, I see it as poorly done. You think she is going out to collect stars but for me she is going to find herself. After the harassment, her core self was gone. IDK maybe cuz I'v never staying in a hostel, I might not understand. But they make it clear that her english skills make it hard to communicate with them. So I wish she had go on a real trip. Cuz for me after she came back, she left her single life to become an "our".

This is not a sexy/steamy love story. Just getting that out there! More of a boyhood one. After Wang Lu meets Wang Wu, he sets out to become a student at her sect. He meets new friends and builds a band of bros to help him will challenges and battles. He becomes Wang Wu's disciple and their playful interactions is fun to watch. Wang Lu learns who he can really trust and who is not a friend as well as what is evil vs not. With 37 episodes there are plenty of fun plots for Wang Lu learn from. The fights are great, acting is good, set-music-clothing is great. But I would not watch it again. Its a fun filler show for when your main drama is not out yet- or if you need something light hearted.

-Ok so the description is really done well. Its a good show- I like the horror of it( yes there is a jump scare). I like how history is used to show the past vs present. History is repeating itself in a way. Is there plot holes? Yes -Not everything adds up. For me it was interesting to solve the mystery and to see everyone side of the same event. The ghosts make it fun. The house was great! I'm fine with the ending- I feel like everyone is were they should be. I do wish we would see them reincarnated again instead or for them to meet again once he is dead. But not bad for my first "historical thai"

Problems I had are-
-Sarochinee acting like a big B. Its like the toxic friend that you stay away from. The 300yrs had taken a tole on her personality. If I was any of the other people, her actions would make me stay far away.
- Akkanee is an archaeologist.... with horrible skills. For someone that is trying to remember another's past..he never looks into the "man" until the end. "He loved you"- once your told your of his blood line, would you not try to find out info about your family? As an archaeologist, would he not want to find the treasure? She's protecting the treasure for the nation to use.... so would her duty be over if the treasure was found and "used"?
-If the present life was not about solving the mystery than it is really boring. In order to make history repeat, they had to add is something like war which would be politics. I just don't care about it.
-Everyone has a past life but for Chayt- for me it was confusing as he is another love interests for Thip. I'm left wanting to know what he was doing back then. And I also don't like him getting in the way.

Give it a try!

I for sure had fun watching this- for me I loved the bright colors and over all fun feel of the set and outfits. I also really enjoyed the cheeky/ raunchy- drama as well as the over all spicyness of the mom. She is a really great role with a whole arch thats not just surface but also has emotional trauma. There is plenty of topics to talk about and I am sad that no one here has said anything. Cuz for me this show has a Ton of heart. And this drama takes you on a ride of these peoples lives- the good, the bad, and the loss. Yes this show is hilarious, yes they try to shook us with lines, and yes there is horrible english actors( lets not even talk about that role xD). But for me I'd recommend this type for anyone who's looking for something fun but not a love love rom/com. BUT I do love the old couple- points for him for being able to spin her around xD BUT is it 18+? If you watch teen movies with adult topics like sex.. you'll prob be fine. Violence & profanity- solid PG13 not really anything worth talking about, I believe very few bad words and a knife thrown?

Would I watch a 2nd season....?

Yes I would-
Now this show is not without its problems.
Pros/Neg-
1. This reminds me of old old MTV dating shows like " Room Raiders" or " Next "- Its a trash but you keep watching. Now what I mean by trash- its dirty. Not aggressive sexually but verbal and not conversations I would be having with people I just meet. They also sexualize the girls- there's zoom in close, skirts blowing in the wind, and then they make jokes about it that are down right pervy/gross. Gives the show a creepy vib.( I DO feel like that was their job on set tho- bring the interest with their body's based on their real jobs). No one is looking to change or be fixed.

2. Hosts- They bring the jokes. Male- he's packing heat in the form of crude/rude jokes. He's holding nothing back. I'd expect him to do well in a comedy club. She- really brings very little to the table. Sympathetic and light hearted but mostly there to be nice. Out of the 2, she is focusing on if the contestants are being honest or playing a game to win a heart. Her own history, not being all that pleasant was poked fun of as well. So its makes the Males jokes even for everyone. Both of them are trying to guess what the dark secrets are. The nicknames for the contestants when their secret was revealed would be down right cruel/ harsh. But also makes the show more silly. DO NOT WATCH if you do not like joking insults- The host and contestants are always laughing with him and his job is to bring the adult-dark humor only

3.The concept- is interesting. "A deep dark secret that keeps love away". Each one has their own problems from low trauma to high trauma. Each is interesting and you can see why that could be an issue. I like the idea of the "letter" and the dark music. You feel bad for these people, you want them to get help and you wish the show had more to it than this. I wish there was group activates with tools learned. I just don't feel like the "dates" are effective to form any kind of love in 3days... or a few hours really. I wish there was something to lead to deep conversations so you connect with the contestants more. I don't like the issue that comes to play with it being "scripted", I feel bad for that girl. They did her dirty for sure and that guy-he's only trying to make good tv and spice things up.

4. What a random group of people- I would really like to know how they found people and what the selection process was like. I don't feel like there is any factor for why these people would like each other. With a show like "married at first sight" there's a reason it could work but here its like a group of people from work who never interact together being forced to a conference- sure you can find someone to talk to or be friends but the odd of love are super low. Their deep dark secrets wont form a connection. Once you see them interact my first thought was " no one is going to connect" but your still interested. I don't see anyone trying to be famous from being on this, no ones trying to stand out in that way-which is nice. I feel like they are more "normal" even tho I'm guessing this is a job for a few of them.

~In the end~ its not perfect but its like watching a train crash- you can't stop it but you can't look away.

Short and easy to watch

Its not mind blowing, lets be honest. But I watched it all in one night. It dose not feel like a movie-nor a drama(mostly for being only 12mins each). For me there is not enough going on. I hear this was made for Thai tourism but they did not really use it best to make you want to go there. Which is so sad, it looks really pretty but they did not maximize the space given. The focus is too much on their youtube and not enough on plot.

He's not really rude and she's not clingy. She's using him for her book ("investigating") and he dose not want to be around people.. like ever or has to be less than 5 at a time xD I do like their plot. The ending dose not match my feels. The big event(woods) is not enough for me. I just need more from them as a couple to believe it.

I am sad that 2 roles do drift away from the story and you hardly see them. With 12mins tho, you can not have everyone. I would have liked more of the 2nd couple too.

~But its quick and easy to watch. It kind of reminds me of going on trips with friends... then there is a couple randomly formed... but will they last in the real world? Prob not but your still happy for your friends as you see the development. Like a summer fling.

Summary: Izumi Noda works at a library and loves books. One day her friend takes her to a single party( even boy vs girls- you know the type girls on one side of the table boys on the other in hopes to connect). Izumi dose not want to be there and ends up sitting alone until Nell walks up to her. My first thought is 100% creeper trying to get the shy girl drunk but instead they just talk. She correctly guesses his job: architect and surprises him. From that point on, he is always around her at work- trying to get her to go out with him. In the end he convinces her to take a drive with him to go to a library.. in the end its the dream location for his library project. They end up connecting and he says he likes her. Now the next bit is her friend is eating with her bf and Nell joins them.. her friend over hears the boys talking about a bet on getting Izumi. Her friend is pissed and confides that Izumi dose not interact with others as her past bf died going to see her. As an friend would do- she runs to Izumi to inform her of the scam. Izumi ignores Nell's calls-but he comes to her house, he tries really hard to explain himself but can only leave his art work there. Izumi spends her days thinking about what had happened, looking at the art work , and conversations she had with Nell. One day she calls him, they meet up....talk about feelings. Next thing you know he is leaving for school..and Izumi says she loves him. They hug and kiss. He leaves. She goes back to her library. Then we see he's sending photos and writing to her... and she is learning Spanish- "this is not the end of my story" or something like that. The End.

Now this is a more simple story about love. Not really a lot of plot.... a total 5 people speak( and 2 very little of the 5). I guess love grew from nothing as they really only had one date. They have no family...no plans. The acting is fine but I just do not see sparks or them having an emotion connection other than from that one date. Also idk if there is any reason to say he is Latin - his mom is half so he is 1/4 but really dose not come into play.- if anything he needed to be a latin lover... that's what I thought would be why they said that instead of the reason for him wanting to be an architect.
This has no rewatch value and I would not recommend unless you want a very simple easy to watch movie.

This is so ridiculously low budget.. that makes it amazing to watch lol
The whole gender swap thing is funny- its not played to it full potential tho ex: Who knows why SuYu is even a girl, cuz idk other than her mom... I don't think they fully explain it enough for me... or the subs are too bad. QingGe- is great to watch as a guy... the wig is horrible, has huge padding. Its just perfect for trying to hid who she is. I like how possessive they become over each other- they have a great kiss and I love when they go into the city together.
QingYun is the childhood friend triangle that also has a evil dad.
Best costume- SuYu's evil mage armor
I like that there is not a lot of extra people like in other dramas for filler
I also really like QingGe's helpers- her main guy and the chicken guy. I wish they had their names listed! xD
The ending is left open- as there are 2 more seasons... and they get a better budget! I have only watched 1 tho.

Music- Not good enough that I remember it

I would recommend this to another that wants a light, easy drama. I had a hard time sticking with it as the wig is an eye sore but that was only for 2ep and then I got into it. The show is short with maybe 25mins and they have bonus producing bits at the end of ever epi making it extra fun! Showed Liu Ji Kai in a new light

I would not recommend this one- too slow with the plot and I kept hoping things would move along.
I started watching this as Mew is in it- I watched his other show and decided to see something eles with him in it as I feel like he is a good actor.
MewArt- They have the best bits over all but their plot is a huge over drama thing that I don't believe would go down like that.
PopOat- they both don't know about themselves so most of it is them being friends and messing around. Not enough growth for me in 20eps
Mo- I don't care about her at all. You with a guy for what 6 or 7 yrs? They have no relationship goals and her job is cuz of him. Her vs Mew is F-ed up for sure. What brother would turn like that lol She has her pilot "friend" too.
Pent- is great. Knows he's a fu*k boy- brings Oat around to think about who he is. Protects Art from more damage. Blows on another guys ear- so funny. He's the guy that wants the D all day every day. And I like what he brings to the show. I hope he's in 2 and has a larger part than just fling guy.

The love story of 2 broken people. Adela comes from a world where even her own mom was a whore, has no friends, and has a past customer that broke her soul. Ram went to the big city to become a sailor but was scammed out of his money and already told his family that he was doing great. He decides to pimp himself out as...well.. he has a hot body(which you see alot of). On his first client- Adela can hear him through the wall when she is with her client, she's interested- heads to his room to "show him a good time" But instead leaves and tires to get ride of the newbie. Adela ends up buying him for a cuddle buddy- leading to her teaching him and them living together. Adela wants out but Ram, as he is new, likes the money... which leads to fights. Don't want to spoil it anymore...
For me this was a good movie about not wanting to be lonely and needing anyone -even if you had to pay them. Sure there is some sex here but its not a ton and kind of bland. Not mad that I watched- I even got a little sad. Would not rewatch. Only recommend if someone wanted a more down to earth "real" movie

100% would recommend.
I love the style of this show- I really enjoy when couples are cutie and this is my fav type of show to watch just a little bit of everything to keep you entertained. Important- One of the few dramas with No 2nd lead love interests. Which is so nice to leave that plot out! Quick drama to watch- easy to flow onto the next epi without knowing.
Plot- A long long time ago- aliens landed here and their main job is to collect Penghai power that they lost and need it to go home. They call themselves Heaven Soldier's and are tasked with collecting the power from spirits who have an obsession. Enter in Baiqi ( spirit)- hunted by what he remembers of his past (5%- can't even remember his birthday or parents). He went from fighter to Dr and uses his skills to fix problems for spirits but always in exchange for their pride possession. Linxia- Small time actress, will do any role for money. Lives is a huge house and is trying to pay off her dad's loans. The leads meet in the best way- Confusing+ misunderstanding= fate hitting them in the face!
Side Plots- Best side plot ever:Chef Spirit- I would watch a full show just on that. I enjoy 2nd couple, but other than that I did not care about other plots- But I did enjoy watching about healing spirits.
Romance- Great kisses- selfless love- really enjoyed watching them together. This is not a show that stops romance plot once action happens. They keep growing as a couple. Once you reach the field moment- I had the thought a few ep later that you could stop there and be happy with the show.(not that the ending is horrible)
Its Funny- Love them messing with the Heaven Soldier. I need more of the plant early on!
Once you reach 20-ish ep you do know where this is going to end.
30ish- starts to drag a bit and you wonder what is left... I had a full " Oh ya, that plot" moment. LOL
Ending- Most everything is wrapped up, there are holes but not impotent enough to bother me. I accept the ending and the decisions that are made BUT it dose lower my enjoyment of the hole drama with how the flow/characters changed.
