Wanida is a Thai Lakorn that came out in 2010. I just recently watched it and I loved it for many reasons.
1. I could really feel the chemistry between the male lead and female lead.
2. When Prajak, played by Tik, looks at Wanida,(played by Aff), I felt like he truly loves her. It was very believable.
3. The main lead doesn't always believe the evil characters lies blindly like many other male leads.

I would recommend this drama because it is one of the most romantic dramas in my opinion. This is a story line that has been used over and over. The man marries a girl but he loves another woman and promises to divorce and marry her. Even though it had a typical story line, I was worth the watch and I didn't get tired of the story at all. From beginning to end it was very entertaining.

Lastly, this drama is a bit more slow paced and the ending is pretty predictable but overall I loved it.

I just randomly started watching this drama on Netflix one day and I was pleasantly suprised by how much I like it.
Story: The story is certainly different and will keep you guessing throughout. The story captivated me with the mystery behind why these women were invited to this man's house and who was the mastermind. You will have a nice surprise in the end.

Acting/Cast: The actors in the drama did such a good job. They all really got into their characters. I especially liked the main actor. He did a good job potraying his character with all his strengths and faults.

Music: The music is okay, it fits the drama.

Rewatch Value: I could definitely rewatch this one with a family member or friend to see their reaction but for me the mystery is already solved. Still I wouldn't mind rewatching.

Last Thoughts: I would recommend you watch this drama. It's short and quick and it's absolutely worth the watch.

This is a show that everyone should give a chance. This is a tear-jerking, amazingly written, heart-warming story about a Japanese woman that is saved by a Chinese family right after the war when there was a lot of hatred, fear, and distrust between the two nations. Duohe is saved miraculously from death by the Zhang family and she slowly becomes apart of their family.





FURTHER ON MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!


Duohe ends up having three kids for the son of the Zhang parents who saved her from dying. She views this as a way to pay them back because their sons wife is infertile, thanks to Japanese soldiers. This brings forth many issues as they try to keep secret after secret from their neighbors and friends, including Duohe real identity and her status as the real mother of the three children. As the story progresses this family deals with so many issues including death, betrayal, and conflicts within their family and with others.

My Opinion:
This was a show that truly touched my heart. It is one of the best shows I've seen and it truly will be one I remember. The portray by the actors was excellent,the story is fantastic, and it bought forth so many emotions and thoughts. I especially loved that this show could actually make me feel happy when the characters are happy or sad when they are sad. This also has to do with the actors excellent job as well as the writing. Sun Li was especially great as the main character. When she was happy, so was I. When she cried, so did I. She was great!

I have to say there were somethings I wish had went differently for the main character, Duohe, but I am overall satisfied with how the story came to an end.

Be warned you will need a box of tissues but it's definitely worth.

In the mood for love

The title really is perfect for this movie. Throughout the movie the mood was love, forbidden and painful. The actors were amazing in the show and they really helped set this movie on another level.

This is a slow-paced movie and doesn't have a lot of action, but it can really create emotion. The film was beautifully shot and although it didn't have a lot of dialogue, it really doesn't lack for meaning. The body language, way the movie was filmed and the hidden messages really make this movie one you shouldn't pass up.

This is my first time seeing these actors and after watching this movie, I would definitely check out more of their work.

This is the first historical Chinese drama that I've ever seen. It was amazing! I love the story and the romance that developed throughout the story. I felt very connected to the characters and the story and I like that it's based on true characters but there are elements of fiction.

I would recommend that you watch this show because it is very well done and has a beautiful story.
Story
The story is about a girl that travels back in time and ends up in her past life. This is a story that is not terribly original but the way the story plays out is unlike any show I've ever seen before. Even now a few weeks after I finished it it is still fresh in my mind.
Acting
The acting was very good. I truly felt like the main girl Riuxi really had these genuine relationships with the princes and her sister. All the actors/actresses did great.
Music
The music was good
Rewatch
I would definitely rewatch this show. In fact, I'm thinking about re-watching it with my mom and sister.

This is the first Kdrama I watched and it got me into kdramas althought it is clearly lacking alot. The acting was ok and the story doesn't really have a lot of substance. Theres alot of randomness in this show that doens't really fit. The main problem I had was with the main characters. Oh Ha Ni was just too desperate and thirsty. She seriously was a stalker and had no self-respect. She did everything based on Baek Seung Jo. Then Baek Seung Jo was just really mean. I didn't really buy their love story. He showed hardly any interest in her almost all the way to the end. Still, it is enjoyable in it's own way. If you just want to sit and watch something without thinking too much this is for you. Plus some of the side characters are pretty funny and there are some funny moments in the drama.

Empress Ki is an amazing drama with great actors and a great story. It may have a lot of episodes but you will want to keep watching and the show will go by quickly. Truly it has left an impression on me!

Story:
The story is very well written and has so many twist. I really like how Empress Ki was a strong female lead and she was smart! She actually thought about her actions, didn't let people push her around and she planned smart. The story has everything from love, betrayal, politics, hate, power struggles and so much anguish. It's truly worth the watch.

Acting:
GREAT! Everyone did such a great job. Ha Ji-Won was killing it in this drama. She is a great actress. Ji Chang Wook has completely changed in my eyes. I saw him in healer and he was great also and here he doesn't let me down. He does a great job playing Emperor. Joo Jin-Mo did great also. It's my first time seeing him in a drama. The whole cast did great with the acting overall I could find no flaws. Also Jin Yi-han and Baek Jin-hee did great. This was my first time seeing both these actors and I will look for more of their work.
:
Music was pretty great in this drama. It fits well. I especially like the instrumental.

Rewatch:
I would rewatch even though it's so long! Just so many emotions. (Do I want to go through it all again? :))

Overall:
10/10
