So good except the end

Nov. 26, 2024

What Comes After Love could have been that drama of the year as it is a collaboration between the Korean and Japanese entertainment. Needless to say, the potential was so good. The first half was so good, starting from the flashbacks and storyline progression. BUT they had to pull that lame as ending. By episode 6, I was skipping so much. I was gonna give this show a 7 but because they did so well in the beginning, I pushed for an 8.

So all in all, it is actually not as bad, and I dropped so many dramas for the last quarter of this year as they have all been snoozefest, and boring.

The casts are amazing, Jungo and Beni, they portrayed their role well. Feel so mf bad for the second lead, but I guess it is what it is.

The mom of Beni, could have honestly been more developed but I guess given the short time frame with 6 episode maybe thats why it felt short.

Speaking of short, this drama could have been easily a 10 episode series but why on Earth did they choose the 6 epi format. So many routes they could have dealt with. And expanded. Even the back stories, and their time in Japan. I like to think that there was so much potential and the foundation was there to execute it. So why didn't the directors do it then ?

Anyway, I genuinely think Ill only ever rewatch this is because the love they had in Japan was cute and lovely and the leads too. Their chemistry is just overall chef's kiss!

Another solid BL from Japan

Sep 11, 2024

Another solid BL released from Japan has been made in the year of 2024. It is amazing how, the story line progressed and many have said how accurate it is from the manga. So now, it seems like I will be finding my ways into reading this manga too.

The plot is simple yet the way it was portrayed really kept me interested. Though, I really hated the Maya arc, that girl annoyed me so much that I simply had no choice but to skip some scenes.

I love the chemistry of our leads to say the least. Given how pg and very fluffy, the chemistry is chef's kiss! I need more to be honest but yea.

Cute fluffy typical

Aug. 5, 2024

WHOA, finally a Cdrama that I finished without dropping after a long mf time.

The Best Day of My Life is a cute fluffy and typical Cdrama. A cliche that is enjoyable to watch especially in this summer and hot days. Can't believe I finished it within 2 days.

First of all, there are misunderstandings in this drama but it is not as bad as other Cdramas. I mean its annoying but it is not frustrating that you would want to rip your hair off its follicles. The plot prognosis is very predictable but again with rom-com Cdramas, it is up to how you feel with it. I feel like turning off your brain and not thinking too much about the plot will give you a more understanding and appreciation of this drama. It does feel a bit abrupt at times since it has a longer time slot and only is 14 episodes.

The chemistry of the main couple and the second couple are amazing to say the least. I definitely watched it for the both of them. I would say, that there were certain points were the second couple were stealing the show and shining more than the main couple.

As for the second lead male and female, they honestly did not bring anything to the table. They were skip sesh for all their appearance.

Needless to say, I had so much fun watching this show.

Definitely not typical

June 9, 2024

Watching this Kdrama was something I did not expect to continue. To be honest I did not really have a huge expectations for this drama as when it first started the airing, it was kind of the slower end. But I did slowly get hooked to plot as it goes by. Though one thing for sure is that, the chemistry is oozing from the leads. The plot twists are amazing, and it is so uniquely written. There are some parts that I feel like could have been better with plot progression, like the ending feels like its missing something. Maybe instead of 12 episodes, it could have been 14 episodes. Like the details were lacking for the latter half of the series.

But regardless, it was still a fun ride for me. I have mixed feelings regarding this drama but it more on the positive side, thats for sure!

Slow and smooth

Jazz for Two is a decent Korean BL drama. It has some homophobic and violent content so, if you are looking for fluffy and cute plots, then I suggest that this might not be the show for you.

I feel like the manhwa will give you a better understanding of the characters given how short the series is. So there are instances where the plot feels jagged in terms of the storyline of our leads. I do love their dynamic and the chemistry is definitely there. It isn't as strong as what I expected from them, but I guess this is my bias in comparison to the manhwa.

Nevertheless, it was still a fun ride watching Jazz for Two and I hope you guys can give this KBL a shot !

Home cooked meal

Our Dining Table is a very cute and fluffy Japanese BL. The story is simple but the way the story unfolds is so pleasing. There are obviously some critiques that I personally found with this show.

To start off, I think they could have chilled down and tone down the amount of flashbacks. I understand that flashbacks are essential in delivering the plot and moving the storyline. However, I feel like some of the flashbacks itself are repetitive. It could have been less, it bothered me a bit so I had to fast forward those scenes.

However, in terms of everything else, I am at ease and amaze with the series. I think that the leads are very green flag coded couple, they know how to handle things. There are times where they might be slow with each other, but I love how they really emphasize on promoting positivity with each other. Definitely a breather given how toxicity is romanticized in many dramas. I am glad with how the writer took the wholesome approach. It definitely made me love the series more.

Also, the kid really puts flavour in the series. He is so cute and amazing. I love how his character added more dynamic to the couple. The family vibe was oozing. It was done so well. When I first saw the poster of this show, without reading the synopsis, I really thought he was the son.

Please, give this show lots of love that it deserves.

The epitome of there is a light at the end of a long dark tunnel

Dec. 3, 2023

Another Kdrama I have to say my good bye too.

Castaway diva has been my go to kdrama that I look forward to every saturday and sunday. I must say that I have never been disappointed by this drama. It is so good. I wish that it was a bit longer maybe like 13 or 14 episodes so that they could have had expanded certain plot points. But I guess 12 episodes will suffice.

The music of the show is chef's kiss. I love how well-produced the OSTs are. I wanna listen to them again and again.

I am just so happy at how things have concluded. That happy-ever after typa ending was just something all the characters needed amongst all the challenges and trauma they had to face.

Youth, my love

August 11, 2023

When I Fly Towards You has hit all the spots in my heart. The way it has green flag male lead and female lead. That is just amazing in itself and this is a youth drama that we are talking about.

First and foremost, the development of our leads love story is just majestic in the way it was written. It was like slow and steady, but not too slow or too fast. The little glimpse that they take on each other is just so cute. And did I mention how green flag both our leads are?!!! LIKE WHERE DO THESE EXIST? CAUSE CLEARLY NOT IN FKING AREA.

I am so happy to be able to watch this drama because it gives me the feels. The way our leads have such a healthy communication with each other. The way they treat each other with respect and love. No stupid misunderstanding troupe. Everything is solved whenever a misunderstanding is about to develop. No stupid and unnecessary break up. Like whoa, Chinese dramas did so well this time of the year.

Hidden Love, Exclusive Fairytale, and When I Fly Towards You, these are the holy trinity of the Chinese Youth Dramas of this year!

Sugar and sweets

Aug. 4, 2023

Another CDRAMA I have finished this week, Exclusive Fairytale hits the sweet spots for me.

It definitely is a simple plot show. But the way the story progressed was pretty smooth in my opinion. I did have some troubles with the sub plots of the secondary characters. I must say that they are definitely skippable as it was giving me anything. Especially in the latter half of the series.

As for the main characters and their families, I genuinely loved them all. It is just so cute and having been childhood friends to lovers, is just that one plot troupe that I eat up so much like enemies to lovers.

The epilogue is so adorable like the way we had the child's pov was just uniquely amazing.

I must say that Chinese dramas have been eating up the others for this half of the year. Like I had to pause all my other shows for Exclusive Fairytale and Hidden Love.

Edit: April 19, 2023

Rewatching Dr. Romantic Kim 2 again just after hearing the release of season 3 makes me so happy.

Anyhow, this show is still my favourite medical drama of all time!!!

May 4, 2020

I LOVE DOCTOR ROMANTIC KIM 2, I love the slow burn development of Eun Jae and Woo Jin. It literally took them 16 episodes to be official again. As much, I love them I also love Nurse Park and Dr Yun. These two are such a good second lead couple. Dr. Yun has such a sweet sunshine character and Nurse Park, I want to know more about his past since I didn’t watch season 1. So this makes me want to watch season 1 now. As for Master Kim, I hope that he finds his love and Dr. Bae too. Moreover, I really love this series. I wish Dr. Shim had more screen time since her character development is great.

FURTHERMORE, I FEEL LIKE THERE WILL A SEASON 3 SINCE THERES THE ODD BALL PROJECT THAT MASTER KIM IS PLANNING. I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT HELLO!!! PLEASE GIVE US A SEASON 3. I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO WATCH IT. GIVR IT TO US PLEASE!!!

Also, CAN PEOPLE STOP COMPARING SEASON 1 TO SEASON 2. THEY BOTH ARE GREAT AND THAT THEY SHOULD NOT COMPARED SINCE THEY HAVE THEIR OW STORYLINE WITH GREAT CHARACTERS!

Lastly, I LOVE THIS SERIES, one of my favourite kdrama for this year!!

Still such an S-Tier show

April 10, 2023

18 again is such a timeless show, I originally watched it when it was first released on Netflix and it jumped right into my favourite comfort dramas. Rewatching 18 again definitely solidify its position in my ever-growing lists of Kdramas. After feeling burn-out from school and the uninteresting shows that I was forcing myself into watching. Rewatching this show was definitely such a smart move on my behalf. To think that I was reminiscing my first year uni self when I watching this show during the peak of pandemic and its lockdown for the very first time. This show brought me joy, and made experience all those emotions time and time again. Made me cry to realize all the hardship that the parents have to go through for the sake of raising their children. It helped gain a better understanding of my own self and with how I perceived my own parents.

18 again serves a life-long educational story. I love how the writers were able to deliver and mesh comedy, romance, slice-of-life, and insight of what people go through. I wasn't even going to write this review. But I realized, my 2020 self and 2019 self, didn't know that mydramalist existed yet. SO I guess, it is time to rewatch all those kdramas that I love again and write them a review that they all deserved.

Back to 18 again, YES PLEASE WATCH THIS. All of the casts executed their roles quite well and give 18 again the love and fame that it deserves!

Until my next rewatching session again.

Love ❤️

So damn good

April 6, 2023

Koi Desu is that JDRAMA. It is so under appreciated, it is actually insane. I would love to thank the tiktok edits that came up on my fyp that recommended this drama.

This drama is so good, not perfect, but so fucking good.

Also I just wanna say that Morio is the biggest green flag and such a sweet wholesome boy. Like I need him in my life, in terms of the JDRAMA WORLD leads, he is up there on the greenest flag ever along with IDA from Kieta Hatsukoi.

I do want to talk about the 2 major turn off that this drama has that made me pull my hair out of my scalp:


MAJOR SPOILERS







First of all, that break up was unnecessary and it was so off guarded. No proper explanation and the last episode did not give proper justice. It was so rushed and clearly not well put together. I was not even fumed by the breakup. I AM MAD cause of how the writers just gave that messy ending. The first 3/4 of the last episode is wack. Like I watched it without skipping and I wish I skipped some scenes. Like wha is with the push and pull and the hiding of Morio....






Aside from that minor issues I have, I love this series.

Definitely rewatching this again when I can.

Until then,
Bah BYEEEEE
