Would have been better IF I watched it in 2013. A drama that caters to a specific Period or Era.

This drama felt so outdated and has too much cliche scenes. Something about it can make you realize that it was produced back in 2013. The elements and scene presentations made it feel that way almost the entire time.

I love Sooyoung and that's my main reason in getting into this. I can't say it's a compete waste of time to watch it but it's really close to that? Thank god I'm a bearing person and God knows how many times I almost drop it. Hahaha~

Now let me break down the things I like and dislike about this drama. Because there's a lot....

Dislikes...
× This drama just made me feel so bored. I'm always doing a lot of stuff while watching it not because I have a lot to do but because the scenes were too bland and uninteresting.
× Too much cliche and recycled love twists going on. Like really? A good drama is a good drama no matter when you watch it. But this drama clearly won't entertain the satisfaction of the watchers in the current times (2021-Present)
× The sudden leap of relationship between the Main Leads on Ep.07 made it so weird and rushed for me. Like they got no better way to make it work so they decided to level it up without any side tracks happening. Lol~

Likes...
× Something that deserved heavy praises is the way they're making their Pair Up Project so greatly. Like, I myself felt amazed watching those scenes. Probably the main reason why I stayed till the end. It's surprising how i'm more interested to the side stories compared to the Main Leads love story. Hahaha~!!
× I love the versatility and comedy it provides. Those moments made me went through the whole thing and endure it till the end.

Story - 7.5, The Pair Up projects are good. I made it an 7.5 because without them it would be 6-7. The Love Triangle of the Main Leads bored me out not because they are toxic but because too much cliche is happening, is bland and for some reason the sudden leap of their relationship made it more uninteresting.

Acting/Cast - 8.5, Acting is Good. I think they just got unlucky with the story and script they chose. Everyone executed good enough and none of them felt forced; It is well balanced i must say.

Music - 10, The redemption part of this drama is with their BGMs and their correct placement every scenes. Ghad! I love the songs so so much and have been listening and anticipating for it every scenes.

Rewatch Value - 5, I definitely won't. I wanted to give it a lower score but I still appreciate some nice parts of it that's why i didn't go all out in criticizing and messing it up.

Overall - 7.0, I do want to give it a little more points but my conscience just won't let me to. The hollow feeling I felt watching this for the sole purpose of finishing it suddenly showed up while i'm writing this review. So, I'm sorry for being real honest but not really. Hahaha~!!

An interesting drama that shows how great yet restricted and loving Women are.

Where do I even start?! Hmm, actually I'm contemplating whether to give it a 9.5 or 10 cause there're some part that I felt upset about but then I realized that this is a drama and that is its plot twist. So the moment i get my emotional involved only means I'm sold. Hahaha~! Definitely a 10, Story wise.

×× Dislikes
→ I hate how Kyoko even thought of keeping his relationship with his husband after he cheated. Like, I know she almost forced him to marry her but cheating is cheating. Sooner or later he will do it again. Sighs.
→ I symphatized a lot with Yuri but i'm kinda irritated on how she's bearing with his authoritative husband.
→ I hate how Women need to go through such pain and stress and act as if nothing has happened! They deserved the BEST!
→ I HATE how SHORT this drama is, I need MORE!

×× Likes
→ I just love the passion and kindness inside Nami. Someone who's very determined to change herself and to seek for peace and normal life.
→ I enjoyed the moments when she's with her Friends learning new things and it made me excited to see what she's up next.
→ Fighting Scenes! It's not the smoothest and cleanest but she DELIVERED! Some of it maybe corny or ridiculous to others but as I drown deep into J-Dramas, I simply understand their unique way of making their own masterpieces.
→ Nami's interesting way of cutting the vegetables and how she cut it perfectly when she confronted her husband. That gave me the "Bitch she's real mad" feeling.

Story - 10, I enjoyed it a lot. I was swayed and got myself excitedly anticipating for each coming scenes. I love how they highlighted Housewives/Women's concern as a whole and how Men shouldn't be trusted in any possible way. (I'm a guy btw)

Acting/Cast - 10, They delivered and it was fun watching them act. It was able to sent me warmth and place a refreshing smile ony face. I hate all the guys (their Characters) though. Hahaha.

Music - 10, That one sound they always play when something's about to happen just set the scenes for me. I guess i didn't notice the other BGMs if there is? but i'm satisfied.

Rewatch Value - 10, No questions needed to be ask. Release a sequel and i shall rewatch it right away. Hihi

Overall - 10, Well deserved! This drama made me think IF giving a 10 is okay? then I started re-evaluating the entirety of the drama itself and found myself uttelry satisfied. I realized that every drama has its own flavor and taste. The genre doesn't lining up to my usual standard doesn't mean it should be a level lower but it's more of ME finding another genre I'm starting to get into.

There's always a 2nd Chance in LOVE~!!

This drama gave me that emotions I longed to for quite a while now. I've always appreciate drama pieces which tackles Couple misunderstandings such as divorce and break-ups because seeing the characters growing and maturing always satisfies my crave.

I love how the Main Lead handle theirselves up after they experienced hurdles and misjudgement with their marriage. It was a new feeling seeing the characters trying to start over after their marriage failed. The hesitations, worries and guilt they felt made it emotional but the appreciation, time and love they used to have kept on becoming the greatest tool for them to start all over again.

Learning to appreciate your spouse; not just his good qualities but also his flaws and mishaps requires so much emotion and this drama delivers all that. I saw various emotions and maturity on both sides that it move me to tears several times. Some of it were painful but realizing, rebuilding and rekindling their once passionate love is the sweetest.

Story - 10, Story like this just where couples try to rekindle their love always moves me. This story is the best! I love how they handle the situations rationally and didn't ended up hurting each more while expressing their love to each other.

Acting/Cast - 10, They're all good. What can I say? Song Jihyo and Choi Jinhyuk did an amazing job expressing their characters and i received it greatly. The 2nd leads and the other couples are good too.

Music - 10, When it comes to K-drama OSTs, You can always trust! I was crying while Choi Jinhyuk was seeing that Ballad song ughh. T.T

Rewatch Value - 10, One of my favorite among all dramas I have watched! It's definitely on TOP of my list and will watch whenever I needed some good advices when it comes to making huge marriage decisions.

Overall - 10, Well deserved. I love how it is mature enough to handle great decisions and for that I must say that I was sold! This piece do have some flaws but it was overshadowed by how good the plot and dialogues are.

1 of the BEST~!! A Loving and Lively Family relationship. + Women Empowerment ♔

EXCEPTIONAL~!! Let me start this with such heavy remark to make it even more easier for people to decide on selecting this Series.

Probably the BEST drama I've ever encountered this year in the Chinese Drama Land. It contains not only the spontaneous, exciting and naughty sides but also represents Women's worth, power, grace and capabilities. It was so well made that I have indulged myself on each of it's episodes making me almost forget that I was watching a 40min+ drama. The scenes were always so fun that it made me felt like it's only taking me 5-10mins to finish each episodes; I was even disappoonted whenver I see the ending credits and such. Hahaha!

There's so much I like about this drama in which I won't dare to specify but I want to say that this drama production as a whole is indeed a PERFECTION~!!

Story - 10, It's well created and written that I barely notice any mishaps and even made me praise and love it more everytime an episode passes by. I also love how the entire Ban Family almost didn't lose anyone (aside from the Grand Princess) and was given such beautiful, satisfying and Happy endings. The scenes were not Heavy but instead is full of Fun, thrill and Excitement.

Acting/Cast - 10, No Words needed. They're perfectly in-sync with their characters and even made me love them so much. Oh, God! This drama gave me so much hearty laugh and adoration towards the artists. I am a big fan of Neo Hou and I watched it because of him but I also started it Bcoz Guan Xiao Tong is here (I'm a big fan of Luhan) I was never fond of her but this drama just gave me so much of her and she impressed me greatly to the point where I love and finally approved her as she is.

Music - 10, Great choice of music. It do fits the scenes specially the Song they're using on the Main Leads Romantic and intimate scenes. Ballad can never go wrong!!

Rewatch Value - 10, A drama i wouldn't be tired watching over and over again. Probably the 2nd Chinese Drama after The Word of Honor. It's actually on par with it. Both exceptionally outstanding.

Overall - 10, IF you read my review do I even need to explain. It is a MASTERPIECE that doesn't require any explanations. Just watch and fall in love with it.

An Easy-to-watch and Heart Flattering Series~!

Let me start my review by giving out praises to the Main Leads! They acted so well and embodied their characters to the greatest heights. I have nothing but admiration and praises to both of them.

Something I like about this series is how comfortable it is to watch and how cute the story is. + The fact that the Main Leads acted their way out to excellence in this drama and made it more eye-candy to me.

One thing that made me quite bored!? and restless about this drama is it's pacing and some of it's plot twist. Well this issues are being used in almost every drama so I guess it was highlighted in this story simply because the drama seemed too peaceful to me for almost 90% of it's entirety nonetheless everything is Good aside from the cringy scenes from the 2nd Couple. Hahaha!

Story - 9.0, Story is good and is focused in 1 Major Issue to resolve; it's just that it was dragged till the very end that it felt quite boring at some point. They could've resolve it an episode or two early then give us a Wedding Scene or so.

Acting/Cast - 10, This is Mainly for the Main Leads performances. Gia acted her life here, she's definitely a Cat in this drama. There's no faults in her acting. God!! I love her and she resembles Yamamoto Ayaka from NMB48 a lot and that made me love her so much more. Male Lead is Good too, you can see and feel their dedication and focused with their character portrayal.

Music - 10, Music are pleasing to ear and I'm listening to them on repeat using spotify. Perfect choice of Music!

Rewatch Value - 9.0, Watching this once is Enough and will probably remain memorable to me. Something I would recommend to people looking for peaceful and cute drama who love Cats.

Overall - 9.5, Deserved!! I didn't give it a perfect mark due to some Plot/Story issues mentioned above but it's definitely a worth to watch Series.

Excellent fight scenes along with crazy good CGI + Story was dragged so much!

I have decided to finally watch this after so much spoilers from youtube through previews and such.

What I like about this drama is that the Female Lead holds the highest rank among all of the Gods and I just love to see women being treated with high regards and technically reigning. Another thing is the "not-so-toxic" drama plot it provides (Which is also the reason why i gave it a low rating. Non-toxic turned bland).

Something I'm not in favor and kinda dislike about this drama is the way the story has became bland at around early episode 20s. It has become less impactful and lost its colors and taste in a sense where I even thought of dropping it IF it continues. Thank god it didn't!

I love watching AvenueX on YT and the main reason why i didn't watch it right away even after topping the weekly charts is because she drop it after watching 10+ episodes and I kinda understand her reasons for doing that. I even understand her even better after finishing it.

Nonetheless, A good drama that can provide great satisfaction when it comes to fight scenes and retaliation.

P.S. CGI is insanely good and I often replay most of its fight scenes on YT because it is that good.

Story - 8.5, Could've been better but they chose the rough and long path that ruin this drama for me in a lot of sense. Redemption part is that it's a happy ending and it's reasonable? in a lot of ways so does explain my given score.

Acting/Cast - 10, The Main Leads and Supporting Actors are great. I barely notice anyone with bad acting among the mains and such but I hate that Injured Fox girl. Thank god she got eliminated halfway.

Music - 10, The music on this production is REAL GOOD. Something I must say that stood out for me.

Rewatch Value - 8.5, Will definitely not watch the entire thing again but will surely binge my favorite parts. This drama got a lot of satisfying scenes that can get anyone addicted to it.

Overall - 8.5, I felt like I'm still being kind for giving it this score but it definitely didn't deserve anything lower. CERTAINLY not the best but not the worst as well. It has its own redemption parts and its fair share of ups and downs.

Probably the best of all CIT Series as of 2021!!

Definitely the best so far! I was feeling a bit sad that Joe Chen was replaced as the Female Lead but the New Shirley Yang is even better! Most probably because the story and plot for this series is well made and created? Nonetheless, it exceeded my expectation and I was utterly surprised on how much I liked it compared to the previous ones.

Aside from the story itself, I like how people are actually dying right now. The previous series felt so boring cause almost everyone magically survived at the end and that was the greatest setback and failure of the prequels.

Story - 9.5, Outstanding plot and story progression. I'm giving this high mark because It was a complete turn over and provided such great climax and all.

Acting/Cast - 9.5, Almost everyone is good. Too much hoodlums for nothing; but well they served as a great plot devices so it's kinda worked out.

Music - 9.5, BGMs on this is so extra and I loved it a lot. Not the best but definitely going there.

Rewatch Value - 9.5, IF I were to choose which of the CIT Series to watch, I'll definitely watch this again without any second thoughts. So G R E A T!!

Overall - 9.5, Everything about this production felt like a huge leap in comparison to how it was before with the other installments. I can't wait for the Sequel (The Worm Valley).

A redemption after watching TWG (Chronological Order)

I've got low expectation when I started this and almost drop it after the first 2 episodes cause I find it boring but I eventually went through it cause the reviews are decent and i'm not the type who would drop anything after my 1st impression; and thank god I did cause it started to gradually pick up it's own pace after awhile.

This sequel is much more interesting compared to the messy and disastrous TWG so for anyone who are wondering whether to watch it or not, I wanna assure you that it's gonna worth your time.

This actually has its own flaws as well but it's more bearable compared to it's prequel and adventure wise it is far superior as well. Just be careful not to get irritated with Wang Pang Zi (Fatty Wang) cause I hella got irritated on how immature, greedy and useless he is.

Story - 8.0, I wanna give it a higher rating but the ending just kinda felt disappointing. + Although it has more to offer, the story itself got a lot of flaws in it and it felt lacking in the plot and story department.

Acting/Cast - 9, I just love Joe chen and she did great in this drama. The other actors were able to execute their roles properly as well. I just felt like there's a lot of useless side characters.

Music - 8.5, BGMs are properly placed and used. Nothing special about it so I felt like they could've done better.

Rewatch Value - 8, I wouldn't re-watch it unless there's an information I need to confirm or something but this whole production is good enough so here it is.

Overall - 8.5, The fair-est point I can give. Honestly speaking, it didn't standout that much and is a bit lacking but can be considered decent.

Age is just a number in the end your determination and passion will define your future~!!

Sasuga J-Drama!!! I never expect it to be this unique and good yet they proved again how they're ONE TOP when it comes to producing Piece-of-Life themed stories. J-drama's are always the best when it comes to portraying peoples life experiences; and you can always count on them and expect them to deliver no matter what.

I watched this drama since Sakaguchi Kentaro's the lead and wasn't expecting a lot from it (Although i checked the reviews first and that even motivates me to start watching it). From the 1st episode itself I can't just resist to not watch the next episodes as it provides a clear idea of how the story will go and I can't do nothing but feel excited about it.

Thinking about it now this is probably the 1st drama with 10 episodes that I was able to finished in 1 sitting. The story itself just caught my attention and god knows how deeply touched and moved I am by the Mother Love this drama presented.

Story - 9.5, Story is very unique and it tackles a lot of things specially how people tends to change as they grow older. Something I love about this story is how it somehow highlighted that "Age shouldn't be the determining factor to ones future or success". It sends me so much motivation and lessons that eventually reminded me that we're on our own pace.

Acting/Cast - 9.5, It should've been a 10 but I felt like something is missing one way or another. Nonetheless, the actors/actresses were great! What I love the most are their clever and funny portrayal of their specific characters.

Music - 8, It was good. Although, I find the Ending Music to be a little dark but looking back now it do represents the story itself since that was also a preview of the next episode.

Rewatch Value - 9.5, I would definitely re-watch it most specifically when I feel like i'm losing all my confidence and motivations to move forward.

Overall - 9.5, It was indeed a worth while and memorable drama everyone should watch so that we can be reminded that "We should never rush things out, time may change but as long as you got the will there is a way".

FRUSTRATIONS OVERLOADD!!

Watching this drama 14 years after its release felt so weird to me. Weird in a sense that I'm watching this even when there's a lot of dramas being release left and right and I honestly think I watched this mainly because of the nostalgia and sentiments it holds.

Anyways, I will use the words "Frustration & Irritation" to sum up my whole reaction for this drama. Heaven knows how many times I shouted "Yama-P!! I'm totally pissed right now" and all those sort of rants. His character just made me feel mad almost each and every episode. Even when I thought he's improved a lot and is expecting MORE from him yet this guy never fails to disappoint me again and again even during the final episode. Just how far can he go? Will he even improve? Hayyss..

I finished this drama with the thoughts of "Will this guy be okay in the future?" "Will he be able to make Rei happy even after marriage?" "Will he be able to work it out without the Fairy's help?" this drama left me with fun, cute memories but mostly worries and frustrations.

Nonetheless, I'll give it a 8.0 overall since it deserved it!!

Story - 8.0, Despite my frustrations and emotional rants this drama still made me felt a lot of emotions does proves that it was well produced.

Acting/Cast - 9.0, Fine? I just feel like Japanese will never go wrong when it comes to their actors and the way they act. They have their own colors and ways that is completely different to others and is very unique.

Music - 9.0, They were decent and the background or filler music are always on point.

Rewatch Value - 5.0, I have decided that I will never go through this whole process of emotional fatigue again. LOL I will even make sure not to watch the adaptations. Hahaha

Overall - 8.0, Nonetheless, It was a good watch. An indication of a good drama is when it's able to make you feel so much emotion and it did, like TREMENDOUSLY!!

Felt way too short for such a great story ♡

This series felt extra short simply because it is that GOOD! There are Short Series that makes me get bored even when it only has 10 minutes per episode but this piece is really cute and fun to watch that I was stucked on my seat the entire time.

One thing I hate about this is that, It's too short! I mean I know that all of K-BL are like this but is it wrong to ask for more? HEHE

Anyways, I'm just proud that Korea is taking their time and doing it step by step in producing BL series. They're getting braver and courageous each passing year that they finally have Kissing Scenes in BL series these days.

Story - 9.5, The story may be short and too fast-paced and all that but i never felt like it lacks something. A well made series that was put together excellently.

Acting/Cast -9, The cast did great in delivering their respective roles and what surprise me is that majority of them are Idol turned actors. I never prejudice idols but they surprise me a lot since they seemed experienced in some ways.

Music - 10, Great choice of Music. Opening, Filler BGMs and even ending song is good. They did well choosing and matching the song to each scenes.

Rewatch Value - 10, Will definitely rewatch it. It was short and you will just forget time watching it like LITERALLY it's that well done.

Overall - 9.5, An absolute drama. This series screams intelligence! A well produced and created drama. Will definitely recommend.

A J-Drama taking their Creativeness into the Quirkiest way possible.

Honestly, this drama could've been more impactful IF I happen to discover and watch it during the strict quarantine/lockdown period cause it shows the strict compliance to Safety Protocols and stuff. Well it's all on me that I discovered it so late.

Anyways, this drama is a representation of how Japanese create their dramas and present it to the public in an informative yet quirky way. It has always been their selling point for me, J-Dramas are simply unpredictable that can always keep you off guard on a positive way.

Another thing I like about this drama is how people handle their stress, frustrations and weariness over what's happening and how they try to deal with it using their outmost best.

Story - 8.5, I felt like we could've gone wayyy deeper into the Main Leads relationship and how they deal with it only IF they try to keep their get-to-know stage an episode or two shorter. I honestly wanted to see them dealing with trivial stuff and discover a lot more from each other.

Acting/Cast - 9, I always deem Japanese acting as natural and presentable. Specially with their Extra-quirky moments. It has always been their best selling point above everything. The natural vibe and expression they give off gives me that they-have-personal-experience Vibe. Well most probably because Japanese culture has always been set like that.

Music - 8, Honestly I never notice any music IF there is, It must have blended naturally with the scene that i'm oblivious about it.

Rewatch Value - 8, A drama I would rewatch if the same scenario ever happen again where people are so dumbfounded and worried about the future because of the changes and uncertainties occuring at the moment.

Overall - 8, It definitely is a good drama but I just felt like they could've gone deeper with thei relationship. Nonetheless it was a great watch and I hope people can find my review helful.

P.S. Sorry about this review. For some reason i'm out of words and fet like I have squeezed out what's left on this tiny brain of mine

Simple & Casual story with Extremely Gorgeous Costumes!

This drama started rough for me. I almost drop it after the pilot episode cause I find the main lead uninteresting and incompetent. But, I did push through and still gave it a try considering the reviews I red about it.

It surely might leave you the 'boring' feeling at first but once you set your mind in a way that "This drama was made differently from the others" you'll start to appreciate it little by little. It is definitely not the complex and full-of-plot-twist kind of drama we all got used to, but, this piece do provides values and comfortable feelings while watching it.

One thing that I must highlight is how gorgeous the costumes used in this drama. Top Tier among all I've seen so far! Most probably because it's designed for the winter season that's why they're simply beautiful and outstanding.

Story - 8, the entirety of it was decent. I was able to folow through the whole plot and there's nothing much special to it but I love how the Main Lead was created as he is. Illiterate yet compassionate and righteous. I just have to say that I expect some action with its ending but it was delivered so differently with a hint of Marriage and union. It's open-ended and has a very weird leap from the expected ending but I didn't feel dissapointed at all.

Acting/Cast - 9, Cast was able to deliver and is very good with expressing their expressions and emotions.

Music - 8, It only has 1 or 2 music that i know or notice of but I love both of them. Specially the part where the various musical instrument part of the song is playing. So beautiful and satisfying.

Rewatch Value - 7, Honestly this drama doesn't give off the REWATCH energy but i can describe it as something that should be watch for only 'once' and should be cherish as a memory for as long as we can.

Overall - 8, Overall this drama made me feel good and satisfy me but i feel like we deserve more from them. The story is already reaching its climax only to be cut off in the middle and be presented with a Wedding ceremony as an ending. Nonetheless it worths my time.

Genuine Love can be obtained by discarding ones desire & ambition | Lots of unused plot devices!

The 2nd ML (Zhi Yuan) is the embodiment of this story's title "The Longest Promise"—he waited 200 years to meet his eternal love only to be told that Zhu Yan wasn't actually the reincarnation of Yao Yi. Tragic!!

I want to officially start my reaction by stating that although this drama is not as perfect and flawless as what the other reviews on this site states, I would still want to say that it is still fine on its own. The narrative wasn't as complicated and complex unlike some Xianxia dramas out there, however, I still think that they lack a lot when it comes to story telling. This drama has many plot holes, incomplete explanation of events and a handful of unused characters and story elements that could have contributed a lot to the entire story if they were utilized correctly and efficiently.

In addition, I wanna say that they don't know how to use the HYPE at all. There are a lot of impactful scenes that has gone to complete waste simply because the Director didn't use it wisely and intelligently enough. The video editing team was also underwhelming when it comes to connecting related scenes and events to make it look more emotional and convincing. Well, I must say that It still all lies on the director since I'm sure even the editors are following his lead and instructions.

Also, why do I feel like I'm watching a contemporary cliché drama during the last 15 episodes of the story? and their only difference is that they're wearing traditional Chinese costumes. Hahahaha!

Moving on, let me go ahead and discuss some of my favorite elements of this story.

First is most probably the contemplating attitude of some of the main group of characters. It shows how bad people, weren't actually deep-rooted bad, it's just that the people around them treated them terribly and differently that's why they learned and adapted to protect themselves from such people and circumstances—that it's only their defense mechanism for a chance of survival.

This drama also shows some great developments from its characters and I think it is one of the positive sides of this production. I feel like they never intended on making the bad people really bad so they gave them a redemption path which is a really healthy take for a story. I just love that the main characters didn't even care about the throne and power; and at the end, were able to find their own genuine happiness by letting go of their worldly desires and possessions.

Lastly, the CGI of this drama is really good specially the first few episodes. However, there are also times when you will get lost because of their magic powers, its effects and how it is visualized. I can't even believe that the most powerful spell was animated like it was just some normal type attacks. I was left baffled and underwhelmed during those scenes.

P.S. I waited and waited for my most anticipated scene which is to see Xiao Zhan dying out of jealousy but it never came! damn! I'm so sad... Hahahaha!!

Story - 9.0, I love that the imperial struggle wasn't the focus of this drama because I'm just so tired of it and I'm also glad that the initially introduced bad characters were given a redemption path to take. One thing that truly disappoints me is the wasted plot devices that could have made this drama even better if they were only used properly and efficiently. Let me also mention the rushed and terrible way they chose to conclude the story. Like... HUH? What`s that bullshit?

Acting/Cast - 10, I'm satisfied with the acting and was never bothered by anyone all throughout. Maybe because I already categorized this as an Idol Xianxia drama and it made me stop scrutinizing their acting that much. I'm also thrilled with the artists of this production. I admit that I was indifferent towards Ren Min at first but as the dramas goes on, I learned to love her too.

Music - 9.0, There is nothing bad about it in all honesty. I already expected it to be all melodic, full of humming, heavenly sounding and it did just what I expected it to be.

Rewatch Value - 8.5, This drama is fine. But I don't think I will ever watch it again. I just feel like there are lots of dramas out there who deserves my time and attention more.

Overall - 9.0, the drama's good. It's that the director wasn't able to fully squeeze out the beauty and capability of the story. Could have been better with a different director and team I would say. Nonetheless, I was never bored of watching it and I genuinely love the artists of this production.

MLs Perfect Chemistry + Love is Patient & Bearing but Communication is Crucial to make it WORK~!!!

I have so much to say and I'm literally overflowing with adjectives to describe how this Series made me FEEL so let me do my best to summarize my experience with this piece.

First and Foremost, Finally~!! I was able to watch it after being stuck on my watchlist for such a long time. It was a drama I anticipated a lot since TharnType The Series and was able to live up to my expectation.

One thing I'm really impressed and so in love about this drama is the Main Couple's compatibility and chemistry. Both are good looking and has their own unique features that truly complement each other but what I love about them the best is their overflowing charisma that very few BL Couple can actually show effortlessly. It's leaking out of them so naturally like it's no ones business. ^^

Anyways, I really wanna highlight how the story might not be perfect but has a lot of good plot points that tackles so much issues that help the CP to improve and better understand each other. + The rather peaceful and calm demeanor of Leo, his friends and his parents made this drama a whole smooth ride. I must say that the only moment I felt so enraged of, is during the 2nd to the last episode (with King & Punn). Oh well I don't wanna be reminded of that so let's move on. Hahaha~

I know that it's too soon to end this; but honestly, the drama just revolves around the Main Couple like 85% of the time so let me just conclude the main portion of this review by saying that the Main Couple are truly the Ace of this Series and that they were NEVER over shone by anyone.

Finally, this couple will surely remain in my heart as the most patient, bearing and careful to the point where it has become a reason for their misunderstanding at the end. It thought me how important communication is and how essential it is for both parties to be vocal and transparent as much as possible to each other to further nurture the relationship.

P.S. I'm a bit sad with Leon & Pob's ending but I understand the context the series is trying to tell us. They want us the understand that right timing and patience is a major substance to prove one's love and worth. Also, the Basketball Gang & the MLs Friends made this drama more interesting and funnier.

Story - 9.5, The plot and context of the story is very clear to me after finishing it and those are patience and understanding. It may not have the most outstanding script out there but it do provide good narrative which entails different views and occasions in life that made the entire story worth the watch.

Acting/Cast - 9.5, Main Couple is Really Good. Specially Fiat. Just wow! He carries his character like a real PRO. He really went all out with his execution and I'm highly satisfied with his performance. Same goes to Leo who has this kind and gentle demeanor but can make all of their Kissing Scenes into a hot and lustful one. One thing I noticed is that the side characters just felt a little awkward at times and probably needed more experience. Nonetheless everyone was Good.

Music - 10, The placement of the music is great + it helps that the lyrics are being translated during their runs cause it truly made me appreciate the song itself even more. I really got no complains aside from the fact that they could've use more Songs to make it all better.

Rewatch Value - 9.5, A Good Drama I would rewatch if I happen to missed the Main Leads (Just skip Episode 11 cause King & Punn infuriates me Lol). They truly are the star of this show and no one can stole it from them. Love them so much.

Overall - 9.0, Really wanna give this drama a higher score but I also felt like this score is sufficient no matter how many times I re-evaluate it. I just feel like it's lacking something crucial that can make it even better. It was a decent Story with a clear direction on how they want to present it to their choice of viewers and/or audience.
