I never wrote reviews but I felt that I needed to review this. If you're thinking not to watch this because it has 52 episodes I suggest you to watch it. You DEFINITELY won't regret it instead you will be thankful :D

STORY: It is not your usual drama. It has quite different elements. I loved how the relationship is developed within and outside the families. I loved how they tackled the problems.They pretty much covered all the topics. Some include parenting, bullying, marriage, societal pressure. It is a delight to watch.

ACTING: Each and every actor portrayed their respective roles very well. It definitely has a stellar cast. Lee Joon and Lee Yoo Ri deserves a special mention. They're extremely wonderful. Lee Joon is a fantabulous actor that I can guarantee.

MUSIC: The music was good.

RE-WATCH VALUE: I'm definitely going to re-watch it not only for one time but for many times.

For me this is the most beautiful drama I've ever seen.

This drama is so poignant and beautiful. It shows how to appreciate life and celebrate it. This drama is all about dying to live and living to die. We all die someday but learning how to live is what's important. That's what this drama stresses about. I don't know how many times I cried watching this. Till the end this made me cry not because it's sad but beautiful.

Started as a comedy it turned into pure melo. This is slow-paced yet beautifully done. Son Mu Han really grew on me.

Coming to the acting this is my first drama of Kam Woo Sung. He did exceptionally well. I'm going to check out his other works. Kim Sun Ah as always she nailed it. (I'm a fan of her.) Their chemistry is no joke. All portrayed their roles well.

Music is so good. No matter how good the drama is if there's no good music it won't be remembered well. This drama has many beautiful tracks. Totally loved the music.

Whenever I feel down will re-watch this for sure. It made me feel optimistic about life.

Beautiful story, beautiful acting, beautiful music and beautiful cinematography. That's what Should We Kiss First? is.

P. S: Loved the 'City Hall' references. The city hall station and the beauty pageant.

The drama will either be a hit or miss. Not everyone can read between the lines and not everyone will be able to comprehend. This is not your usual fluffy drama. If you are someone who flare up just by the mention of the word 'Affair' without even thinking the circumstances please stay away from this.

This drama is so beautiful. It'll be extra beautiful only if you get the references completely right from the table to the artwork. I'm amazed by the writing. Take a bow writer-nim. This is all about mutual respect, understanding and giving space to one another. Love others the way they are. Do not take anyone for granted. That's what I understood from this. So beautiful.

This drama is visually stunning with beautiful cinematography, intense acting and a wonderful story.

I loved each and everyone's performance in this. I especially loved our main leads. They created magic with stares alone. Such a talented artists. Both BGM and OST are awesome.

I'll definitely re-watch this.

Pleasant. That's what this drama is.

It is same yet different. This gives you the feeling which is kinda hard to explain. As someone here stated you just need to be in the 'right mood' to watch this drama. If you got the right mood it looks beautiful if it's wrong it looks boring. I experienced both.

Everything's resolved way too quickly. Maybe that's the reason behind the negativity for this drama. Viewers have some standards regarding how things should be dealt with in a drama. This drama doesn't meet any of those. This is different. It doesn't deal with problems how viewers expected them to be dealt with. This drama tells you that being in a relationship or being alone, both are okay and are acceptable. I loved that. Humor in this deserves a special mention.

Regarding acting everyone portrayed their roles well. Everyone. Nam Goong Min and Hwang Jung Eum's chemistry is off the charts. I guess she makes a good pair with everyone she's with.

So loved the OST. Good drama needs good music. It suited well.

I might re-watch this if I'm craving for something happy and pleasant. Always dramas doesn't need to be dark and complicated. Once in a while pleasant dramas like this are essential to balance the drama world.

Who needs a Prince Charming when the dame in stunning dress comes riding a white horse in high heels

Well! Bella & Bright in Thai-Indian collab is something I didn’t know I needed. This is such a refreshing and fun watch. Was so thrilling watching the familiar Thai artists dancing to a Hindi number in Indian attires.
This got beautiful cinematography and some exquisite scenes. Also this has many laugh-out-loud moments.

The story is much better than many of the mindless Indian movies. I know how it goes next since I grew up watching them but still few moments were surprising. But for the ones who never tasted the Indian stuff this might be super entertaining or weird. Anyway don’t expect a groundbreaking story since it’s a rom-com.

Bella! Bella! Bella! She’s extremely beautiful, talented and needless to say single-handedly carried the entire movie. Bright on the other hand is not so bright in few scenes. He does a decent job but he’s kinda lacking at times. Coming to the Indian couple I’m an avid Indian TV viewer but never heard of them. Anyway they were okayish. All the others did an okay job too.

I don’t understand the negative comments regarding the accents. Like the ones commented got the perfect accent or whatever. Perfection is scam. Anyway given this is a Thai movie and they are Thai artists imo they spoke EXTREMELY well. Anyway British colonized India for nearly 200 years and it’s not surprising if we talk to one another in English even at our homes. There’s no such thing as the usage of our pure mother tongues anymore. English just rolls in. So as an Indian it isn’t weird to see the Indian families in this speaking to each other in English.

Music is not good but not bad either. Liked the first rap(!) tho.

The wedding scene in this became my favorite after Crazy Rich Asians’s. So beautiful. Loved the fire juggling too.
Overall this is hella vibrant, entertaining with beautiful costumes and comedy.
Hope Bella & Bright will be paired again in a lakorn. Can’t get enough of them. :)

I decided from now onwards I'm not going to watch the show based on the reviews. I thought of not starting this because of many negative reviews. I almost missed a happy drama.

This show is surprisingly sweet and gave me the feelings which are real deep. If you are expecting for a romantic show with more skinship and fast pace this isn't for you.

Their smiles and stares are pure love. This deals with many real issues. It broke the gender stereotypes. This covered almost all the types of people. I so love this drama.

Regarding acting everyone did their job well. I love Uee since Marriage Contract. She did well. This is my first drama of Kim Kang Woo. He's awesome. Surely I'm going to check out his other works. Their chemistry is so good. Jung Sang Hoon deserves a special mention. Music is a plus to their beautiful chemistry. I'm going to rewatch this if I'm in a bad mood. This show gives me happy vibes.

THE BEST!

I keep on re-watching this every few months. It became a ritual. No matter how many times I watch this I still feel the feelings I felt when I watched this for the first time.

Almost did a grave mistake of dropping after 4 episodes when I first watched this. It was heavy and made me cry for days. I guess there were more tears left by then so I picked it up again to cry some more. It was one of the very few good decisions I made in my life. xD

The twisted fate of Min Hyeok and Yoo Jeong makes you hate, cry, love and appreciate life. This is certainly well-written. This touches places you don't know existed. Everything went wrong only to become right. It makes you cry rivers at first and by the end makes you jump with happiness.

Well, Ji Sung is an Oscar-worthy actor and there's no exaggeration. I became a super fan of Hwang Jung Eum after this (will never understand the hate she receives for her acting). She's a brilliant actress. Their chemistry is on fire. Hope they do dramas together continuously. Another actor who stood out the most in this is Bae Soo Bin. I remember him as the pretty and intelligent Sayong in Jumong. I had a hard time accepting his role at first. Now I'll have a hard time accepting him as the good guy thanks to his exceptional acting. Everyone portrayed well and last but not least Choi Woong is so loyal and cute. I better stop this here. xD

If story and acting is one eye then OST is another for this drama. So well-done. I keep listening to this every now and then. 'Incurable disease' by Navi ft. Kebee and 'Heights of Wind Storm' by Ji Sung are my favorites.

You might have already guessed this. Rewatch value is 100/10.

Once you fall in this 'Secret-hole' there's no out. You'll be forever craving for more.

Love is worth fighting for and is too beautiful to be kept a secret

Replacing Chef Chico is delightfully serene. On the outside it just looks like a simple wrap but once you bite into it you’ll be hit by the burst of flavors. The way this series deals with serious issues in a calm and quiet manner is simply beautiful.

This is an intricately woven tale with multiple heartwarming and empowering stories of customers all the while replacing the chef Chico. A well-written screenplay. Also Ella’s costumes deserves a special mention.

The acting is so good. I’m still not familiar with the names but everyone did well. Especially the actress who portrayed Wena is a scene stealer.

The soul of this series lies in the music. The songs, voices and lyrics are absolutely lovely.

The only issue I had with this is its incredibly short. Given a few more episodes it’d have delved deeply and would’ve been really wholesome. Romance felt a bit rushed.

Anyway love this mouth-watering, thought-provoking tale of love and life. Hope there’ll be a second season. Can’t wait to experience what Hain will bring to the table.

Honestly I never expected a 2007 drama to be this intense. This one is quite different from the rest. Description is apt. I wanted to punch male lead many times. Four different individuals, four different ideologies and their messed up lives. This drama is one perfect drama of imperfect lives. I loved how imperfect everyone is. I liked how this showcased the realistic approach of thoughts. There are many life lessons if you look carefully.

Truthfully I decided to watch this because of Lee Kyu Han. He's one of my favorite underrated actors. This one is quite different from the rest of his characters. He portrayed it really well. Eric is so good in this. Everyone lived their characters well. Loved the main leads chemistry. I'm going to watch Discovery of love again. I can't get enough of them.

Music is so good. Loved it so much. I don't know if I'll rewatch this as my plan-to-watch list is so big. But I might sometime in the future if I crave something intense.

Finally this is a good drama with real kisses, intense chemistry and a good story.

Humans are divided by the percentage of melanin but are united by the same tragic sagas.

Should I say Asians? Damn! Watching this drama is like watching by very own family saga (no murder yet!). The favoritism of boys and neglecting girls, that apt special attention, the inheritance issues… they happen around us almost everyday. The story can’t get real than this. Writers did a great job. They explored each and every emotion of the characters very well. So it might be a bit slow for a few. Once you hit that play button it’ll be hard to pause this. This is truly a binge watch.

Thanapob Lee! What an actor he is. Give him any character he’s gonna live it fr. Everyone did a great job portraying complex emotions. My only problem is with the actress’s blinking who portrayed Kim. Idk if I’m abnormal or her blinking is anyway it really distracted me.

Music really suited the drama. Background music is so good I even got goosebumps in some scenes.

My specs broke before I started this but that couldn’t stop me from watching this amazing drama. Torturing my eyes is really worth it. I’m definitely gonna rewatch this not only for the missed blurry details but the amazing story.

This one really is a quality drama which is somewhat rare to find in the pool of routine romances. Gonna recommend this first from now. This is criminally underrated.

Warm sunlight on a cold winter day

It takes time for the warmth to reach the frozen hearts. Yet by the completion the frozen heart starts to melt.

Watched few episodes when it started airing and since I'm so impatient, gave up then and picked it up yesterday only to get my sleep robbed. It's been a while since I binge-watched a drama without skipping a scene. There's suspense, realism and mature romance.

Overall the story is good. The melodrama and the suspense parts are done well but the romance could have been better. All it missing was a little touch. Yes, two broken hearts are really trying to heal and their love language isn't touch but still a hug here and there would've been deep. Also Kang Ji Min and his family's love for Woo Joo moved me. All their scenes are so beautiful to watch. (Step aside silly sister! You made way too many poor choices for me to like you) Ending felt a bit lacking. Glad they included the BTS else I would've suffered much.

I chose this drama purely because of Lee Yoo Ri. Became a fan of her exceptional acting in Father is Strange and I must admit whenever she portrays a character she takes me all of myself into the character's world without me realizing it and the same happened here. I felt the pain, the happiness and all the various emotions of Ji Eun Soo to the bits. Yeon Jung Hoon as the soft-hearted Kang Ji Min comforted me. Can't believe he's the same Min Seok Hoon of Mask. He secured a place in my favorites list. As always Lee Il Hwa never disappoints. The child actress Go Na Hee is a scene stealer. She's gonna be a brightest star in the future. Rest of them are good too.

Music is really good.

Never gonna re-watch this though. Well, who knows it might be a lie. ;)

Never ever take anything in life for granted!

I remember checking the MDL page of Wonderful World and in the next few minutes I don’t remember how I ended up here but I’m more than happy I did.

Two Lights: Relúmĭno is a beautiful beautiful short film of visually impaired people. I wouldn’t have believed this is an advertisement of Samsung’s technology if they themselves didn’t upload this in their Samsung Electronics YT channel.

The story is really heartwarming. Most of us tend to pity people with impairments and don’t immediately think that they might’ve made peace with that fact and are living life with or without the help of other people. I loved how this showed what they go through, how they pursue their hobbies and how the technology help them. That ‘dreams’ part made me sob. We really do take life and all the things in it for granted. We don’t really appreciate it unless and until something happens. The story really made me learn many things, made me question myself, made me look through things in different perspectives, made me change my opinions and made me appreciate life a little more. We don’t know what we’ve in this second will surely be there in the next. Happiness do lie in little things and beauty does lie in the heart.

All the artists did a great job. Loved Park Hyung Sik and Han Ji Min’s chemistry. Would love to see them together again in a 16-ep drama. Music is good too.

Low rewatch value because I want to remember the feelings I felt watching this for the very first time.
