don’t waste your time

don’t waste your time on this for it shitty ending.

It started well for me, but the plot went down hill at some point, the last 6 eps were disappointing.

The good :
- the acting
- the music
- the third couple (who was not seen a lot) was cute, pretty good communications, healthy relationship. they solved their problems pretty fast
- I think all 3 couples have good chemistry
- some scenes impacted me emotionally, like ep 18 with the second couple or just scene related to first and second couple, I was almost crying
- I like the eps when the leads were with the kid
- the friendship
- this is a good and bad point, but I appreciate at first using mental illness of ML as a plot for problems/breakup, that felt real to some aspect and not like some cdrama where are think the breakup is pretty stupid or the use of a third party is annoying
- at some level, I liked the second couple, I loved their chemistry, but I don’t think their story was well written


the bad :
- dragging second couple getting together
- dragging the problems between the leads
- became somehow boring at some point, 36 eps was too much
- the worst ending possible that literally ruins everything. Doesn’t make any sense, rushed, nothing explained. FL is 100% hallucinating him, sad ending. And this is just nonsense. be clear damn it!! if he is dead, explain it, be clear about it. Why end with such horrible nonsense ending. Feel incomplete. Poor FL too, I hate it.

The leads acting and chemistry carried this

I’ve been waiting for this for months, but was left disappointed.

I was expecting something different from the trailer and the first 3 eps, but I wasn’t that bothered, I actually liked the build up and romance between the leads.
I think it was a good thing FL knew early it wasn’t ML who killed them.

The good :
- costumes
- cinematography
- the fighting scene were well done
- some romantic scene were well done (and the romance made me smile) and some scene in particular I really liked (like before the village, the scene in the snow)
- we could feel the love (I think I felt more ML love…), very strong love
- the leads chemistry and good kissing scenes
- I think the acting of the leads was great
- I liked ML’s sidekick, why did he have to die :(
- I liked the eps in the village
- at least they gave us a wedding…
- the ost

the bad :
- seriously, the plot in SML country / FL “marrying” SML was just completely uninteresting to me. didn’t want to watch any of that. Boring at some aspect and nothing or no one interesting over there. it really dragged after ep 24. And why the hell did it take almost 8 eps for the leads to get back together????
- SML was a shitty written character, ad nothing going on expect obsessing and delulu regarding FL for most of the drama. He was completely uninteresting and pretty annoying. His love for FL made no sense, obsessed after one short meet 10 ago. Just like his sister who was annoying at time (and didn’t know when to mind her business), but she didn’t deserved to die, she was still a good person. I wasn’t that disgusted by the “romance” for her and the emperor. Like why not ahah being alone without doing you know, all of her married life… why not enjoy it???anyway that was the least problem here
- actually, the plot when down hill after CP was defeated. At first I was like, we need more eps because I was enjoying it, but no, it needed less eps.
- SFL and CP romance : well not gonna lie, they looked good together and I could feel some chemistry. but like, I still don’t feel the shift and don’t make sense. She had feelings for years for ML and I don’t get how and went she fell so hard for CP, maybe because she rejected him so many times… with some scenes we could actually feel maybe some development towards him, but I don’t know. Also, wasn’t interesting in this pairing or their character… like most of the viewers, but I think the acting was okay and I didn’t skip them. Still don’t know how I feel about his dead, that was such an easy and peaceful death that wasn’t deserved at all…. I think this was a miss, SFL could have been an interesting character
- kinda stupid and mad that they could have saved her no ? but no stupidity and they lost the flower…. All these eps for her to get cured and she didn’t in the end…

anyway I’m tired, but in general I’m disappointed in the writing of the drama and the writing of side characters. The ending was disappointing, after so many years of pain and suffering they endured… this is the ending? I know ML messed up and he poison her first, but like what is this? he suffered for 10 years and now he suffers alone in regret for the rest of his life. I don’t like sad ending and I almost never watch sad ending (if it’s sad ending and I’m watching, it’s because it was ongoing, I never start when I know it’s sad ending or open ending, feel like such a waste of time). The only one actually finished is “A journey to love”, we all know how it ends :((( but I still rated it pretty high

I don’t understand cdrama writers. Why change the ending? We’ve seen it a few times, novel have a clear happy ending and they change it for a sad ending or weird open ending. Just why ? Seriously annoying. Have you ever the opposite, sad ending turn happy ending, I didn’t.

I wish I never started this, I’ve been disappointed a few times with Youku dramas

chemistry was chemistying but

it wasn’t that good

The good :
- we can’t deny the great chemistry between our main characters
- amazing and hot kissing scenes, it was already not bad in Love in the air, but they improved. I was like « that’s a kiss » while watching
- the cinematography, the episodes on the island and the beach, pretty cinematography. I enjoyed the setting and the episodes on the island in general too.
- I loved the relationship between Mut and Meena, I enjoyed their scenes together a lot. That child actress was really good.
- I liked Mut’s character a lot. He turned out to be a green flag. He treated him well, cooked for him, etc… I liked how he was patient and understandable with Rak, at the end, I understood that he left, there is a limit in my opinion of waiting and being treated like that. Must have been hard, he loves Rak very much and he doesn’t want to accept yet that he loves him amd the things he said to him. He wasn’t giving up, even when Rak wanted to breakup with him because of the thing with his dad, He fought for him
- Vi and Muk, they annoyed me at first, but not later on. And I liked the friendship and their care for Mut and Rak
- the return on the island for the last episode
- Happy ending I guess
- the acting was good
- to see Rak’s journey to healing from his past trauma
- the ending for the dad. That was very satisfying Mut beating him up

I wouldn’t say bad, but maybe the less good :
- I was quite bored with the plot a few times and I started skipping or putting it at like 1,5x
- Rak’s character annoyed me at time. I don’t even know how to describe it, how he was acting, a bit baby ?? He know he had trauma, but it started to annoy me (feel like it was very similar to Love in the air).
- The conflict and Rak’s reaction in the last ep that lead to Mut leaving. Like how ? after everything Mut did and there is no denying that he loves him. I know again… the past trauma, but I think it wasn’t that needed. and then the last ep was so long... But at least we got to see Rak do some efforts, finally accepts that he loves Mut and wants to be with him, that was satisfying him working to get Mut back. Even if the last ep is the ep that I skipped the most parts, I just wanted it to be over
- At some level, the thing with the dad was a bit much and not very interesting plot.
- The GL couple, didn’t like them at first, but they became a bit more interesting. but their story wasn’t enough and I don’t think it was executed very well, some part were missing to me for the development of their relationship. Also in the last ep, we like got nothing….

Anyway, an okay watch to pass time and enjoy great chemistry

what a disappointment

We can never have our expectations too high for a short drama, but at first I thought this could be interesting

But same old plot and cliché
Stupid and annoying FL misunderstanding ML (some of this could have been avoided if ML had talked to her and explain, I acknowledge that). Believing and being manipulated by the SML. she was annoying from almost beginning to end. Stupid choices too. Annoying sister. The plot just turned out very annoying to me and not enough romance ? . Maybe if I haven’t watched other similar short drama, maybe I could have enjoy more

too bad, the leads actually look so good together and I think they have chemistry

the fact that ML wasn’t a red flag here too

Keept watching and following the drama only for ML actor.

I think the acting was okay and I loved the ost. not ML is always a + ???
happy ending too I guess ? but why always these kind of ending ? ML dying, not explanation or something. time jump, ML is totally fine and they dump the happy ending

turned out so disappointing

what can I say… I enjoyed this a lot at first. The leads chemistry is the strongest aspect of this drama. I watched 16 complete eps, after that only reading comments, watching some parts of eps and spoilers videos. + checking out the last ep. I was waiting for more eps, but turned out too annoying to watch complete episodes later on.

pros :
- the leads chemistry
- such passionate kisses, probably some of the hottest kisses I’ve seen in a cdrama.
- FL’s parents, I actually like them. I knew from the beginning the dad was acting and that he wasn’t a bad guy. He loves his family and he wants to protect them. they aren’t the annoying type of parents and they just wanted to live happily together.
- I enjoyed the workplace scenes at first, FL’s journey in the company and her getting recognition for her work
- them being neighbors / landlord ML. I like this trope
- them bickering and the interactions between the leads before dating. I liked their first encounter too
- they had cute moments while dating
- « happy ending » … we will get to it

cons :
- so many annoying and insufferable characters. Who ? :
-> FL’s family (grandma, uncle, aunt, cousin). I hated them, but in the end, they weren’t the most annoying characters surprisingly
-> ML’s sister… she was insufferable, crazy, annoying… name it. wtf seriously. her being in love with her “brother” (adopted brother), obsessed and jealous. trying to break the leads up, scheming and doing some crazy shit, like faking being r*pe by FL’s cousin… the plot around her was horrible and ruined the drama
-> another character that ruined the watch : FL’s friend. Again with this annoying trope that never go away… the friend in love with the lead, that have 0 chance, has been told no and that she only sees him as a friend… but no he can’t accept it and he needs to get her. Again, with the scheming and trying to break up the leads, even trying to work with the enemy. no respect for boundaries and doesn’t know his place as a friend. it’s crazy to me that some people wanted FL to end up with him
- the plot turned out so annoying to watch and the script so bad. so many people scheming against the leads and with the relationship with the second leads : like
-> why was FL spending this much time, staying friend/as if nothing happened with SML after he confessed his love to her. Weird and she didn’t set boundaries with him after being in a relationship with ML. that whole thing wasn’t enjoyable, we know he still wanted her
-> again but now with ML and his sister. he was too much protective, always taking care of her and putting her first (which ended up screwing up his relationship with FL). She’s a grown ass women and also he didn’t put boundaries either with her.
-> the villain were “forgiven” as if nothing happened. no consequences… like what the hell. In the end, they still hang out with the second leads which makes no sense, again as if nothing happened. I know from the beginning it would turned out like this. like why were they even there in the end for ML’s proposal
- ML’s sister and FL’s cousin romance… really weird and uncalled for. completely unnecessary
- such an unsatisfying ending even if the leads ends up happy together and engaged.


I wouldn’t recommend or maybe yess with some fast forward past ep like 20

Started good

I liked the idea of the premise in general with the pendants and « dying-coming back », I found it I interesting. I liked the leads and I thing the second couple was cute. I really like ML. Sometimes FL was annoying. Both strong leads who knows how to fight.
It’s good that their identities were out pretty early.
The brother (ML’s brother) was so annoying, he was there for comedy relief, but personally I wasn’t laughing, I was annoyed.
Also that princess who wanted to marry ML, she got on my nerves. This is one of the worst kind of character. Has one side love for one of the leads, but the leads never showed any romantic interest or interest at all in this person and this person is obsessed in love, want to marry them at all cost (even ready to force it), thinks the leads « stole him », etc…. Completely unnecessary to the plot, to drag and add nonsense angst. Just like the annoying brother.

I enjoyed a lot the first eps, when I got to like ep16, it’s like my motivation and interest dropped so bad. I almost forced myself to finish ahah I got more invested again at the end. I don’t know ahah I was getting stressed at the end with the general. I went through different stages : oh he betrayed them, then no maybe not and he killed the uncle (Chen guy) I was surprised, then finally oh he’s against them after all ahaha

I liked that his brother the emperor never became a bad guy and they stayed close till the end.

Decent ending, happy ending for the 3 couples, I think it was good they went to FL’s country.

A good drama with a touch of annoying characters and boring moments, but with perfect ending

finally finished this drama after a few weeks. I have many things to say about it, I think this will be long.

Let's start with the positive points :
1) The leads have amazing chemistry, good kissing scenes and many sweet moments. This pairing is perfect.
2) ML character was great in many ways (he wasn't perfect, but in general I like his character) and good acting from Xu Kai. He's a strong ML and has good fighting skills. He's respected by many and a great leader. I like a strong and intelligent ML.
3) The romance starts early and it's a main focus. The interactions and bickering from the leads were good most of the time.
4) Love the second couple (Er and Peach). Their moments and interactions started early too. They are cute and I like both characters. Their romance is sweet without problems or misunderstanding. Wish we could have seen them with a child at the end
5) The friendship is good and I enjoyed seeing that. The bandits, Bao, General Pei, etc ... I consider them good characters.
6) In my opinion Sun Jing is a good villain. He is still an intelligent and strong character + not the annoying type. The part of the plot fighting him was good for me.
7) I like Consort Xiao (the former Crown Princess) character. She's a strong women, a good person and I felt her story. She made contributions and sacrifices to help take back the throne. She feel in love in the enemy, but that didn't stop her to do the right thing and help ML. She was unhappy has the crown princess, but she found happiness at the end in seclusion and with her son.
8) General Han (to one who protected the crown grand son, don't know if I say his name right) was also a good character. Love his loyalty and how he protected him till the end. Glad he survived and still teach him.
9) Cui Yi (FL's father) is bad ass when he fights and was also an interesting character. Glad he overcame his illness and can teach the future emperor. But I would have like to see him again for the ending, even if he was briefly mention.
10) The scenery and cinematography is beautiful.
11) The fighting scenes are really good and interesting to watch
12) Ep 30 is pick and amazing : the fighting, the deaths, the emotions. It is truly heartbreaking and good cinema. It was so sad to see ML watch his friends dies without being able to save them and Bao :( He protected him until his last breath, I lost it when he placed himself in front of ML to shield him, receiving arrow after arrow...
13) The ending was one of the best thing about this drama for me. Not an open or annoying 2 mins happy ending. We have a whole episode for the ending. That is exactly the ending I wanted : Him ruling until the crown grand son is old enough to rule and after that, doing what he always wanted to do, going back to the border. Then they live happy ever after with their kids and with Peach + Er also there. It was such a sweet ending seeing them with their kids and it was cute that the boys were wearing blue clothes and the girls red. I was also touch with the graves scene and them remembering their fallen friends. It is a satisfying ending : we see him ascending the throne as emperor, the world at peace, the Gu family getting what they deserved, her getting pregnant, her giving birth and then seeing their lives a few years lather at the border.
14) The costumes are great
15) The music is really good, just like the intro and the ost. I loved watching the intro every episode.
16) The plot in general is good

Now the negative points or things that I liked less about this drama (some is just me complaining ahah not really bad things) :
1) There are a few annoying and unlikable characters (maybe too much for my liking, made the drama less enjoyable), let's go thorough some of them :
- Liu Cheng Feng is one of the worst and most annoying character ever. He obsession with FL and his delusion ruined the drama for me a little. His presence was annoying from beginning to end, it took him so long to finally die. He wasn't a good villain for me, just an annoying character, just looking at his face I wanted to skipped. He shouldn't've have been there till so late in the drama, his presence was unnecessary since also we have other villains.
- Mrs Gu (prime minister Gu's daughter) : that girl also annoyed me from her first appearance to her last. I agree that she was kinda good at scheming and she made her way to the palace + at first she wasn't unnecessary, but she needed to be gone sooner. Just her talking was irritating me and her face also. I was also just annoy that ML wasn't clear earlier towards her (even if it was so satisfying when he finally did). Why did he let her go to his place and giving him gifts. He was to polite at first. I truly hate obsess second lead and this drama has 2... so for me that was a let down also because they were there until almost the end and no development (like the guy in ''A journey to love'' had at least a developments and let go of his obsessions, so it's more bearable). They were both crazy till the end.
- The emperor (ML's father) : what a useless, spineless, stupid, weak and annoying emperor. It was so frustrating. But at least in the end he finally admits that his not a good emperor and not a good father. But he didn't deserved that kind of redemption arc. His wife (the empress) had at least a bit of brain cells
- ML's brothers : they were annoying, but at least they were trying to scheme and the conflicts between the 3 brothers gave us some amazing eps and fighting scenes. So I gave them that. The older one was so stupid... And the emperor defending them... But the power struggle was necessary for the story, so not that much a negative point here.
2) After the deaths of the bothers and the fight of ep 30-31, the villains were boring and not interesting. The plot was just dragging, the last fighting scene wasn't that good and didn't have a big impact for me. It was useless to had the conflict with the other people (forget the name, but the clan that killed FL's mother) and even Mr. Gu to an instinct. I couldn't care less.
3) Filler episodes with boring or annoying moments to extend to 40 eps. The ones after the wedding in ep 34 for example with the leads in conflicts AGAIN was just annoying to me. FL got on my nerves in eps 35-36. From eps 33-39, I was mostly on my phone the hole time, my interest was gone and I just wanted it to end. I was at the end almost just watching 1 ep a day just to make some progress. This morning I was like today is the day, I'll finish this drama ahaha I had 3 eps left.
4) We were suppose to have a strong and intelligent FL, but she wasn't all that and annoying sometimes. I expected more, maybe I'm biased because I was watching ''A Journey to love'' at the same time and in that drama that's more of a good, strong FL for me. She kept getting kidnap and ML saved her often. When in ep 37-38 SML kidnapped her, I was like, not again... She was stupid there. I also think she wasn't that likeable sometimes, but I agree that she had her moments. Don't know why, I'm also a women, but I feel like the FLs characters are sometimes written annoying, weak or stupid in dramas, more than MLs. It wasn't actually bad here at all, she was still consider strong and had her mind, but it's a tendency I'm realizing now. I often tend to get annoy by a FL and not a ML when I watch a drama, maybe I haven't watched many dramas with the annoying kind of ML yet ahah (I know there are many out there) or maybe I did see some, but nothing comes to my mind right now.
5) I was a bit annoyed with some aspects of the relationship between the leads. Them being in conflicts, they make up, in conflicts again, than make up, ... blah blah blah, happened a few times. It was a part of their relationship and sometimes justified, but maybe they could have had it happen less.
6) I know ML is filial, but he's father treated him like shit all his life, but he was still trying to be a good son, saving him and even kinda getting along with him in ep 40. That man is trash. deserved nothing from ML.
7) ML was stubborn when he didn't want to be the crown when he was the obvious and best choice, but I didn't like how FL was trying to force him. Even less when he was finally crown prince and she didn't want to marry him and make sacrifice for him. Like girl what and she's suppose to be intelligent. Did she really not think that they would have to disbanded the Cui army if she becomes crown princess ? ML already knew it was a strong possibility. And after they got married she was mad at him for the disbanded of her family's army and what happened to her father. ML did is best to defend them and it wasn't his fault, I don't think it was justified to treat him like that. ML also exaggerated by breaking up with her after the letter her father send to the emperor. They both have faults and flaws.... I know they can't be perfect and all of that is part of the plot, but still

So, because it wasn't that good or even interesting past ep 30, filler episodes or some boring moments, the annoying characters and with comparing with others dramas I rated, I stopped my rating at 8.5/10. In general it still a good drama and has many positive points, so of course I would recommend. Also, it's my opinion, I can get annoyed by characters or bored easily, so my negative points are mostly bad things just for me.

If we talk about 2023 chinese dramas that are not modern drama, Wonderland of Love has one of the best ending in my opinion.

Typical romcom Chinese drama and could have been shorter

In general I like it, there are things I liked and things that I didn’t. It made me smile and laugh, but also annoyed me at time. I also like a drama with multiple couples. I think it’s more interesting then a drama concentrating more on a love triangle, with like the 2 leads and a side or 2 SL with unrequited love. That was here a bit, but not for the entire drama.

I didn’t want to start at first because I wasn’t feeling this pairing for the leads. But it wasn’t that bad, they were kinda cute together. The kissing scenes were good, much better outside the drama though. Annoying censorship, they were shorter with not good angles for a lot of them in the drama.

I was annoyed at both of them after her secret was out (how she was using him at first) :
- she was making no efforts and only thinking about work. She lied for so long, she deserved the silence treatment in the beginning. Also, her spending time with Yi Yang was so much annoying, like girl should have told him from the beginning that she’s not interested in him and she should have told him no to hang out (she told him later, but should have done it in the beginning). That guy was so annoying and weird. Bro literally showed up at her parents place and try to get with her went she was already and a relationship, in love with someone else.
- I agree that he had the right to be mad and ignore her, but he still could have let her try to explain too after a while. The breakup was too damn long, both of them incapable of talking was annoying.

The plot was a bit draggy, too many episodes, but still enjoyable. It’s a romcom, you can’t expect much more than that for a plot.

The third couple could have had a better and more interesting story. Their chemistry was amazing, but the misunderstanding and their story kept going in circles before they got together. Since they were already in love at the very beginning of the drama, they should have made them get together sooner, since also all the couples got officially together quite late.

I loved the second couple, I think they were cute. I was looking forward to their scenes, I was patiently waiting for YY to realize is feeling and get jealous.

Anyway too many ongoing dramas, time to pass to another one? but I think I would recommend this drama, not everyone would like it. It can be cliche, cringe and dragging misunderstanding for like all the main couples, but it’s an okay romcom

I was left disappointed

first of all, I started this because I wanted to watch a BL and OffGun… but in both, it was disappointing for me. It was not BL focus, which I wasn’t expecting. I wish I knew before starting, maybe I wouldn’t have been left disappointed

I will keep it short, not motivated to write a review right now

I really liked the first few eps, I thought it was funny and we were getting to know the characters. My rating was like 8,5-9 at some point

what I liked :
- the friendship
- seeing the development of the trainee at work to at the end becoming mentors to their own trainees. even if we didn’t get much with Ryan character I think
- the comedy, had some good funny moments
- I absolutely loved Off character (minus maybe for the last ep a bit) and he looked so good here
- the acting was decent
- I also liked Pah and Pie, Baimon too actually
- chemistry, the few good scenes we got of Jane and Ryan
- Ryan after work

what went wrong for me :
- Bah-Mhee was mostly unlikable
- The hole plot with Tae and Ba-Mhee / Tae, Ba-Mhee and Judy : that was really uninteresting to me and it took to much screentime. It really felt more like a straight couple story with a side BL couple. And how it’s all turned out… how their relationship was, the cheating, them getting back together… couldn’t care less. Annoying that they got a better and longer ending
- Feel like the relationship between Jane and Ryan wasn’t written, development well. We really didn’t see enough of them and the development of their story. And what was that stupid time jump at the end, it was also 5 years… that’s a lot! and they just got back together just like that as if nothing happened and the love is still there as if they never separated? We almost got nothing of them dating and they get back together in the last part of the last ep… didn’t get a proper scene or dialogue either

I watched 4 BL with OffGun, sadly my least favorite unfortunately. Many people said Cooking Crush was bad and boring, but I think it was much better

I guess I could still recommend even with the plot kinda weak, lacking of BL,…. It was still funny.

Good chemistry, plot holes, unsatisfying ending

Positives points :
- What I love the most about this drama is the chemistry, dynamic and relationship of the leads. I continued mostly for that.
- I love the comedy and the friendship
- the cinematography is beautiful
- the second couple, they are fun to watch

Negatives points :
- the plot was promising, but in the end not that good for me and boring for some eps or moments. I actually wasn’t that hooked after the first 2 eps. But some thing still surprised me, I actually didn’t see it coming that his grandpa was a bad guy.
- Could stand ML’s brother for most of the drama. For me, he was a creep, weird guy for many eps. His comments or reactions regarding FL and mostly his liking for her made me uncomfortable and that was weird.
- the plot holes, feel like things weren’t explained or didn’t make sense
- how the time travel plot is written
- the ending is surely the part that made my rating go down a little. Didn’t like it. Waste of time, why made her stay in the past for the entire ep. It was just sad moments and uninteresting for me since she didn’t want to have a relationship with past him, she loves present ML. I found it weird people wanting her to stay in the past, have a relationship with past him. I just wanted more moments and a good ending in the present. She could have gone back sooner, like 20-30 min before than end so we can have a good and satisfying ending. We also didn’t see her reuniting with her best friend. But no, they went with the 1-2 min reunion. I’ve seen that annoying ending enough in Cdramas. First time I see an ending like this for a kdrama, expect my Dearest ending maybe. For me an ending like this seems like just wanting to dump a « HE » for the viewers. Also, the whole thing with the 2 Tae Ha and the kinda love triangle was weird. Plus, I agree with some comments that they could have made her appear in the pool and recreate the first ep.
Yeah, they added like 2 more minutes at the very end with the wedding. Cute, but still not satisfying. I would have like better to see more of them living happily for like 20 min or with kids or what happens with her career than seeing a wedding again.

Overall for the romance, it’s a good watch, so I would recommend even if I didn’t like it that much. I was expecting something better before starting.

Love through seven lifetime - beautiful drama

I really love the concept of this drama. I love romance and this dramas gave it. We got to see them falling in love again and they were so cute together. They also have good chemistry and they were together for lots of of episodes in my opinion compared to other dramas. There was no misunderstanding, no break up also.

They loved each other so much, they were truly fated and it’s was beautiful to see also the past when they first meet and fell in love. All the details too, like the red string and the soul protector spell. I love dramas like this.

it’s gave me Love between fairy and devil vibe too.

I really loved the ML, he was so cute and handsome. I love his acting. The FL was good too.

It’s was sad and beautiful, made me cry, smile and laugh. The second couple broke my heart too.

Some negative point for me :
- the kissing scenes were horrible
- the second lead was so annoying for most of the drama, I just wanted him to go away and die. He was always in the way and he was delusional if he ever thought he had a chance. At least he got useful at the end.
- happy ending, but I hate 1 min happy ending, it makes me mad. Like the ML died early in the episode, the could have show a lot more of the happy ending of the main leads. I didn’t care about the others and the people in the heavenly realm, they showed too much of them. I read somewhere that in the novel they get married in the end, we needed more. Also, all the talk about completing their wedding, travel together, etc and we got nothing
- also the ending for the second couple, why ? It’s like an open ending, I wanted him to recognize her and run to her. They both left their way.
- so I don’t know in general the ending wasn’t good enough for me, so…. had to give 9,5 and not 10/10

I would recommend this drama

started off good, but went a bit down hill for me

I was looking forward to this drama. I was like « something different » and I like fake dating trope.

I enjoyed more maybe the first half, I think it was funny and I liked where it was going. But around ep 7, I started to loose some interest and became boring for some reason even if I still enjoyed the comedy in general. I think the writing wasn’t that good. The romantic story of the leads became less interesting and not that develop well.

I think the leads have good chemistry and look good together. maybe not enough romance for me.

I also liked :
- the friendship between the sisters
- assistant-ceo duo
- brothers duo
- in general I liked the second couple, but I’m not sure them falling in love made sense with such few scenes. they were cute and think had chemistry. the office date was perfect, when they had matching energy by playing the novel’s character. they had a good ending too
- the fake wedding was beautiful
- ML fake proposal was so cute
- I think the acting was good
- SML coming to save SFL and fighting her dad
- few romantics moments between the leads
- 3FL finally ending her relationship and deciding to raise her child alone (with her sister of course). That relationship was just weird and very uninteresting to me.

SML was a bit annoying but not really

FL’s ex, he was trash. they didn’t give proper closure. what happened ? guy is living happily and getting recognition at work (unsatisfying) and what happened with his wife ? who seemed like a decent and kind person, still think it was trash of FL to not tell her she dated him, he literally dated both of them at the same time and wanted to have an affair with her.

The conflicts between the leads in the last few ep were just cliché and unnecessary… don’t talk to me about the stupid breakup in the last ep and 5-10 min reunion-happy ending. that was trash and lazy writing. Actually, the leads in the last ep in general was bad writing to me. Rushed and unsatisfying ending

And feel like no proper ending regarding the brothers and their father(SML parents I could say too) even second couple and his parents

I personally liked it and was looking forward every week for the new episodes. It wasn’t a masterpiece, but light and enjoyable to me. It was mostly a family healing drama

No big angst or problems and absolutely no annoying love triangle. I think it had some good funny moments and the mystery was intriguing me at first with the landlord death and the dad money.

The young couple :
I actually loved them. I liked watching their scenes and the development of their relationship. I also think they got good chemistry. For me, I think it was refreshing to see a couple when the characters meet for the first time and slowly fall in love. Not friends (when they already know each other or were friends when the drama begins) to lovers or childhood friends like we often see.

The parents :
I was interesting in how their story would turned out. In the end, I think we could say they were both kinda bad parents… but they both know they made mistakes

The families relationship:
- I liked the bound between mother and daughter.
- I like Tae Pyeong and his father : I really like this 2 and their relationship, we could see how they cared for each other and I liked their ending/last scene together
- the brother was annoying most of the time, but I think we got to understand why he was like that.
- the development with the 4 was okay. I liked the scenes in the restaurant where they said they believe the dad.

The ending :
- I liked that the dad became the coach for the kids baseball team. Suitable ending for him
- just like Tae PYeong ending, doing what he likes by teaching taekwondo to kids
- the mom doing her thing and the daughter too. They spend a lot of screen time with the jobs of everyone, but it’s okay. Maybe we could have gotten more romance for both couples
- the son : he matured and looking for a job
- the parents ending: I actually liked it and I think it fits. Her wanting to leave alone for now, I think that’s good. They are still dating and they still live in the same building, so not a problem to see each other often. Maybe later on they will live together again after some time
- the younger couple : it was okay. I found it weird Mi Rae thinking though. She wants to date for the rest of her life ? Doesn’t it also mean for her to keep living alone in the future ?
- the last scene, a meal with the family and everyone being happy and the little bickering, I think it wasn’t bad. I was thinking her boyfriend could have been there. The picture with all of them at end :)

Other comments:
- loved the dog ahah he was a paid actor and so cute
- I think the couple with the hairdresser and the tax accountant was cute
- the neighbors were mostly annoying
- the reveal for the secret behind the money was a bit disappointing, maybe I was expecting a big twist after all the mystery. Like the mystery with what happened to the landlord too
- I’ve seen comments, I don’t think the acting horrible
- I like that it was only 12 eps, I think the flow of the drama was good.

Undeniable chemistry

I enjoyed this, I was annoyed at time because of some side characters

Plawan was a bit annoying at first, but not that much to me.

For 8 eps, the flow of the plot was okay and the ending didn’t feel rushed. I didn’t dislike the cooking aspect of the show either

The best thing about this is definitely for me the chemistry between chef and Plawan. And seriously, one of the best kisses I have seen in a BL and we get quite a lot kiss and NC scenes. It was really fire. I loved their bickering and interactions. The breakup was needed and in the end all chef needed was an apology. I liked that.
I still find it funny how chef needed to get some, one last time ahah, before telling Plawan he knew about him working for Meta and leaving

The girl (chef ex) was really annoying and I’m still annoyed it take quite long for chef to set boundaries. Kleen got on my nerves too… but in the end everything got sorted out

For the second couple, I think they were interesting at first and the tension was good. but in the end, didn’t much like them that much. I don’t like how Meeta character became (and this thing with money was annoying), so clingy and everything, I don’t know. And it was pretty slow

Another point, I had some good laughs

So, I recommend, it pretty short, good chemistry and entertaining

wasn’t that bad to me

so to begin, I’ve never watched the Japanese version, read the manga or even knew much about this except that Atom had a crush on the girl at first.

It wasn’t perfect, but still enjoyable in my opinion.

What I liked :
- one of my fav thing is definitely the friendship between Atom and Mudmee. I loved watching this chaotic duo and their relationship. they were good friends to each other too and supported each other.
- Half and Mudmee : first time I was actually invested in a straight couple in a BL drama. they were funny and cute. The episode with her family cracked me up ahah it was hilarious when her mom slapped the dad and he was like “mother like daughter” and remembered Mudmee’s slap. The kiss during the play was awkward though, it was so obvious their lips weren’t even touching. they shouldn’t have included that, a kiss on the cheek could have worked. Don’t know if it was the director or the actors, but even less sure because of how the kisses were with the BL couple too. Anyway, not important. To finish, from what I get, they are newbies actors, I was surprised, they were good.
- I actually like the ost
- the acting wasn’t the best from Fourth and Gemini, but Fourth did scene good scenes with his acting
- Supportive moms
- I liked the teacher, the plot twist of him dating a man and not being an asshole ahah
- No break up or angst
- I laughed a lot, less in the last few eps, but still. This was a pretty funny and light watch. I had some good laughs
- wasn’t bothered by the cringe
- the chemistry between Fourth and Gemini was for sure not has good as in My school president of Moolight Chicken, but we could still feel it with their eyes or smiles, …
- absolutely no annoying love triangle

so now, what went wrong :
- boring at time and the writing could have been better. Like the scene of Gemini (don’t remember how to write the character’s name ahah) birthday, they could have made it more romantic or I don’t know…
- the chemistry was a bit lacking
- I know they are high scholars, but maybe I would have wanted more for their relationship or romance. I don’t mean a big passionate kiss, but maybe a little much skin ship or something, to look more like a couple. At the beginning of their dating phase, there was an ep I was like “they look like friends and not a couple”
- the kisses were bad. Press lips or Fourth trying to kiss and Gemini with press lips. It was awkward to say the least, again instead could have give some cheek kisses or forehead kiss. Also some weird angle. Wondering if it’s like this the director actually wanted it. The first kiss, I was like okay I get it, but I thought it would get better. The kiss in My school president was actually not bad, don’t know what happened.
- Gemini’s character was a bit stiff ?
- not much backstory for the characters ?
- omg, a very important point, SO MANY products placement, it was too much
- not the best acting we’ve scene from them
- why did Atom came out for them to Gemini’s mom about their relationship?
- sometimes the music wasn’t good
- At first I liked the Chinzilla appearance (felt nostalgic), but after some thinking, they shouldn’t have had this

So anyway, I think this BL got so much hate and it’s not as bad as some people say it is, I don’t regret watching
