Ending that rather rushed!
First of all, I’m not gonna write a long ass review about every detail of this drama. Just have a few thoughts that I want to throw it out here. Overall, this is not a bad drama, however it wasn’t that good either. It has so many potential to become a great one to be honest, but the writer-nim surely need to be more creative to make it works.I do have a huge expectation from this drama since this is the first debut of Actress Jisoo, so I really wanted to see her performance and acting (even though I can make myself clear that I wasn’t a fan of Blackpink, not one of the blinks). Still, I’m rooting for Jisoo journey to be an actress. And, I gotta say, she did quite a good job considering this is her first debut. However, the story line do injustice to her role. Because clearly, the drama portrayed her as someone who is weak-hearted and stood still without doing anything worth mentioning. If only her character could grow and develop for a bit, I could really give a perfect score for this drama. But her actions, most often, unnecessary and she always in Soo Ho’s ways and that’s really complicate things. If only, they can let her take a gun and fight alongside with Soo Ho, they could be the strongest couple..
For me, the big problem here with this drama is the script itself. Very repetitive. I almost think the story is about hostages and the spy who got stuck in the dorm and unable to get out even though there’s so many ways to actually escaped from it. To be freakin’ honest, the scene where all the hostages come out from the dorm in finale episodes can be done in episodes 8, but how they took so long just to get out from that dorm? How can they think the idea of escaping by fooling Mr. An and bring the soldier to the main door only after 16 episodes? This is really mind boggling. They should make the second half of the drama for something else, out from the freakin’ dorm but instead they dragged it till the end. Disappointing is really the word I could think of.
However, despite my critiques towards this drama. I really appreciate all the hardwork from the cast members to bring this drama to alive and watchable. Of course, Jung Haein’s performance unquestionably and undeniably good. Yoo In Na’s acting is really great, I am so satisfied with her performance. Thank God she have a good brain to leave the dorm and for once, think about herself. Ms.Pi and Buk-Ok character’s deserved standing ovation. I really hate Buk-Ok for what she did, she boiled me with anger everytime. Jang Ha-na is the real superwoman in here. She really know what to prioritize and I’m glad she did what she did in order to save the students. All the veterans actors did their fabulous job in acting, but their characters often too repetitive and overlapping with one another. And too bad, there’s no scene showing the proper closure between Youngro and her friends, they just left it hanging there. The ending tho quite rushed in my opinion. So many things left unrevealed, and without a proper explanation.
Did I say I would not write a long ass review? Argh, forget that one. I will just continue abit more —
The OSTs from this drama are quite good. Kim Hee Won - Friends & Jamie Miller - Wishes. These two are my fav. Both songs are really unique on its own, sorrowful and heartbreaking too.
Okay, my final thoughts.. watch at your own risk. This is definitely not a lovey dovey melodrama, it’s in fact a slow burn romance that almost burn you with anger. Lol kidding. For a sucker of sad ending drama like me, I’ve seen better and better dramas out there, this is still not that really sad considering you can actually expect that the outcome would be like that. I just hope that they can executed it properly without us audiences thinking that if they do this or that, things could have turn differently. Thus, this drama is just an OK drama that I would not considered to rewatch it again.

Even if it’s hard, you have to push through
First and foremost, I’ll started this review by summarise this movie as a “brilliant work”. One of the best movies I’ve encountered so far in 2022. Discover this movie while scrolling my tiktok, and it appears on my fyp with quite number of views. I attracted to watch this one because it gave me Miracle In Cell No.7 vibes. Instantly, I searched it in the available streaming and begin to watch.From the moment it started, you instantly know that this movie will take a different turn, one that will begin in tragedy and possibly end with a tragedy too. I’ve watched countless of sad endings drama and movies, therefore, I expect nothing out of this ‘inmate’ background story. “It might be so cliché..” that’s what I thought at the first. But the moment, I saw the female lead got involved in the tragedy, I started to panicking and it feels like I’m at the edge of my seat; curious and anxious of what to happen next.
Imo, this movie successfully conveyed its messages. The reality of our life, how law usually works regardless and based of the circumstances, and how difficult it is for the victims to continue their life haunted by the tragedy that happened to them. Also, the life inside of the prison, that every characters in this movie managed to execute really well and bring the story come to alive. I would like to give a huge applause to actress Hong Ye Ji, read somewhere that this is her first debut in film, and I couldn’t believed it that she could nailed this heavy role in her first project. Tell ya, the moment she started crying, without realising, I cried along with her. Also, Kim Ji Young bring a role as a mom who’s deaf, deserved the same credit. Both characters without a doubt will give you some trauma. I’m not joking though.
Other than that, the side characters are equally important in this movie, the whole squad of room 10 totally warmth my heart. Even though, they always bickering and throwing curse to one another, I love the way the keep protecting each other especially the maknae. They all have their own story to tell, but I totally understand why this movie didn’t highlight much of the side characters’ background stories. After all this movie focusing about inmate 2307. I love watching the interaction between the inmates of room 10 but seeing Jeon Somin bringing a character close to depict herself make me burst out loud.
Overall, what I can say, you should experience yourself to know what this movie will make you feel. The production team really put enormous efforts to produce this brilliant work that offers a great storyline with an amazing line up. The ending even though quite confusing for some, but I would say it gives us, the audiences, the choice to interpret it, how we would like to see the ending based on our interpretations. Last but not least, there’s always a rainbow in the sky, after a gloomy weather and the rainbow can be seen even from the darkest place. Even if it’s hard, you have to push through. You should live well.

Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace
First of all, before I dive into a long review of this drama, I want everyone to look at the headline above. Yes, the title is ‘RUYI’S ROYAL LOVE IN THE PALACE’, from the title itself we know this is the love story of a girl called Ruyi that happened inside the palace. Fyi, this is my first Chinese drama that I watched, that introduced me into the world of cdrama. I guess, it was worth it. Long ass of episodes, a heartbreaking drama with full of scheming, betrayals, self-reflection, falling out of love and regrets that it’s too late to emerge.To sum up, this drama is about a girl named Ruyi who have a childhood lover and later on become her husband who was at the same time the emperor of the kingdom, named Hongli. In their younger days, they vows love towards each other and promised to stay by each other’s side through tough times and happiest moment. Ruyi wants nothing but love from her husband. However, the journey inside harem is not as smooth as everyone ever dreamed of. It fulls of scheming, betrayals, pretending to be so called ‘nice’, abusing powers, and gaining the emperor’s affection. Ruyi, in her best intention, try to stay away from all these immoral values. But, as a concubine inside the harem, she can’t avoid from being schemed and hurt by other women who have jealousy towards her. This is where she realised how tiring it is to be a king’s woman but at this point, her love towards Hongli was still stronger as ever. She wants to accompany and be there for him, because she knows how lonely the title of emperor that her husband had to bear. To cut it short, years goes by, and scheming inside the harem getting more intense, and everyone was affected and even the emperor slowly losing trust on Ruyi. This is when everything started to fall apart.
This drama tell us that no matter how much you love someone, your love alone can’t change that person to become the best version of himself. Ruyi thought that the love she have for Hongli would stay deeper even after years changes. But when she looking back, the person who he loved back then was no longer exists. It is just an arrogant emperor who thought everything he did was right, lustrous and easily swayed. From this point, she gave up on her love and wanted to be in peace and free as she used to be before she marrying into the palace.
Aside from her love story, this drama also portrayed the life inside the harem, the struggle of the empresses and concubines to gain the emperor’s favour and to usurp the power. It’s a unique story that shows not only a love story, but friendships, family and even various cultures. I was amazed with the beautiful traditional costumes and how different it is with one another. I love the traditional instruments played by the concubines, the opera song, the food, the setting, etc. It was beautiful and portrayed realistically. 10/10 for the cinematography and the efforts from production team.
In addition, the acting from Zhou Xun is outstanding. No wonder she was listed as one of the Four Dan actresses in China. I love and love the way she portrayed herself as Ruyi, how she bring this character to alive. Wallace Huo’s acting is equally good. I hated his character tho, and that’s mean he nailed the character of Hongli. Other side roles are doing amazing job for their respective characters. I hated the evil characters and I pitied some of the innocent characters that was keep being stomped in this drama. Everything was perfectly written and portrayed. And yes, it’s a long drama but it’s worth every thrill, heartbreak, pain, anger and tears that being poured.
Imo, a lot of people fail to understand what this drama is all about. For those who give up just after few episodes because it was boring and pointless, I hope you find a courage to give it another try. This drama is engraved in my heart, I love every bits of it. I still remember the line Ruyi said to the emperor, the last time they met each other; “Flowers bloom and flowers fall, there is timing to them.” She wanted to remind Hongli that their love and marriage were happy at the beginning, but have a sad ending at the end.
This drama is truly a masterpiece and one that would stay in my heart for a long time.

Love & Redemption
Bulgasal end its story after a hella ride of rollercoaster full of emotions after 16 episodes. I doubt that there will be a second season for this drama; I have read one of the article mentioned about it. I hope there will be no second season, as this one season is already enough.First thing first, Bulgasal is certainly a good drama to watch. It didn’t disappoint me from the first episodes up to the finale. There’s a background story to all the characters, why they did what they did. Bit by bit, it unraveled the secrets that haunts all of them. That’s the uniqueness of this story. For me, it was all written beautifully — the storylines. However, some might argued that the script was written poorly. I beg to differ on this. I did enjoyed the drama and always looking forward for the next eps and for the thrilled this drama gonna serve me. Compared to other drama (that has worse script), this drama is 10x better and worth watching.
The cinematography of this drama is one of the finest I have ever seen. Omg, not gonna lie this is one of the reasons why I attracted to watch the drama. The background setting between modern days and Goryeo times beautifully and amazingly portrayed. The prop used, the costumes during the ancient times and all the tiny details were presented almost flawless (at least in my pov).
Since Bulgasal focusing on a creature that lives on a mountain, therefore a lot of filming process happened in nature setting I guess, which really captivates me every time.
The acting of all the cast members are on top notch. There’s no doubt in this, unless if you have different opinions than me. Lee Jinuk & Kwon Nara’s chemistry is no joke. I really love their compassion for the acting. All the emotions delivered pretty convincing and I’m drenched with tears every time Sang Un cried. Lee Joon is a gem that carry the whole show on his shoulder. Without a character of darkhole, this story would be pointless. He nailed his character and successfully makes us hated and pity for him. Please director, I wanna see him become a ML in his future drama. He has a great potential.
Imo, this drama have all the perfect ingredients to be a great drama with a perfect score. The only thing that I disliked about it is that the timing for the background story to be unraveled taking a bit too long. It took 16 episodes for all the secrets to be unraveled, all the questions to be answered and it resulted for the ending to end abruptly and kinda rushed. That’s the reason why I could only give this drama 9/10. Still, the ending is still good considering we got a proper closure that we need. Therefore, I can just turn away from this minor flaws. In addition, the OSTs for this drama is worth to listen to. 4Men-Leave, Minseo - Can’t Forget You, and Tunnel are my favourites.
My final thoughts, this definitely a good drama to binge. Please don’t give up yet for those who think to drop this drama. Trust me, after watching eps 16 you will think that the journey is really worth it. It gives you thousands of emotion and you will learn why Sang Un & Dan Hwal were tied with an ill fated relationship. And you will learn what they gonna do to amend and redeem their cursed fate. The ride gonna worth it! <3

Slow Burn Romance
I just completed watching this drama. I first attracted to watch this series because I saw the ending clip in youtube. So, I thought to myself ‘wow another drama with a tragic ending. I need to watch this. This is exactly my type of drama.’ Then, I started watching it till episodes 11. At that point, I try to grab the ideas about the stories, the plots, each characters, the relationships between characters etc. I then keep watching until episodes 15, and I almost dropped the drama though. Yes, I almost did.Imo, the first 15 episodes is a real struggle to watch because the paced is really slow. The story line focusing on the friendships that was form by respective characters especially between Zhousheng Chen and Shiyi. From how they started off as a master and disciple, and then developed feelings towards each other (although they never confessed their feelings to each other). Along with that, the story lines goes to political feuds, competition for powers, wars, etc. Up until episodes 15, there’s not much notable scenes worth mentioning.
However, the storyline started to become interesting in the middle of episodes 15. From that point, we can see the flow of the story and the tragic events that started to build up and emerges. Until the finale episodes, I do find myself enjoying the series. I able to shed some tears here and there, and my heart aches seeing all the innocence lives were taken away because of the stupidity of the emperor, the greedy empress and obsessive young guy.
Here’s some problems that I have about the drama. The storyline though is not exceeding my expectation. There’s so many loopholes and questions to ponder. There’s not much character development too. I wonder why the monk didn’t asked for help from his father when Zhousheng Chen was caught and accused for doing rebel. I expect him to do something worth mentioning because he was the closest one to Zhousheng Chen. Like, he literally did nothing tho other than being a monk. Probably, that’s how they wanted to end the story because after all, the drama only have 24 episodes.
I would like to give applause tho to the production team. I love the cinematography, it’s beautiful and spectacular to watch. They chose the dramatic cool kind of color in entire series which I find really mesmerising. I like the OSTs, it’s good and it’s nice to listen to. The acting is great esp Bai Lu. For someone who keep laughing during off set, I wonder how she can pull off such an agony and grief emotions in her acting. This is my first time tho watching these two main leads on my screen. They did amazing job in here.
All in all, this is a good drama. But, I probably won’t consider watching it again in the future except some scenes (sad scene specifically).

Dream, Soul & Song!
This show surely a unique one because it shows the real life situation of travelling with family by using a bus. I think, the show get popular because it’s featuring Ha Ha, along side with his wife; Byul & his children; Dream, Soul & Song.Knowing the real reason why they accepted to join this show really makes my eyes teary. In fact, this show will make you cry for so many reasons (at least it did for me). Apart from that, I love how authentic the show was, the journey from one place to another, meeting some guests, eating all the good foods from different places (suddenly makes me drooling), watching the pov of Ha Ha & Byul as a parents for three of their kids. With each of them with their own cuteness, temper & tantrum, travelling with kids surely a big challenge for every parents.
However, apart from the challenges, the main focus of this show is to show how this little family creates their memories together while travelling with their own bus. As a singer & comedian, Ha Ha surely did not have much time to spare for his family. He busy schedules surely hinder him to do a lot of things for his family. This show definitely give him the opportunity to redeem himself. I love the way he communicate with each of his kids, even sometimes i can see that he’s more childish than the kids themselves. Love to see how strong and caring mother Byul is. As a singer & wife who sacrificed a lot after giving birth, she definitely the epitome of a strong mom who always puts her family as a top priority. Her love as a mother definitely shines in every of her actions.
Lastly, I dont have any complaints about the show but definitely wish for the s2 asap! I love to see them more. I missed our cute Ha Song already. She definitely the little fairy that well-loved by her family & the audience. I hope she grow well healthily and always be happy. Really looking forward for the S2, or who knows another family join in for the adventures!

Raise the Red Lantern

Custom that kills
From the synopsis provided in the description of this movie, that’s basically this movie is all about. If you plan to watch this movie, better not to read the description and just jump straight into the movie with a clean slate. In my opinion, it’s a pretty direct storylines, there’s no really a plot twist. It’s 2 hour long only because the sound effects or visual effects idk how to explain it. Reaching almost the end of this movie makes me dozed off and once I wake up, it’s still on that scene, that’s how slow the progress is.Nevertheless, it’s an interesting movie maybe for that period of time. Right now, maybe our generation will find it hard to watch this kind of movie even more to understand it. It’s a movie that tells you about a Chinese custom, what women will experience if they married into a husband who practiced polygamy and those who practice this kind of custom where whenever a husband chose to sleep with his wife, the red lantern will be raised in front of that chosen wife’s house. So, in order to get into your husband’s arms and getting the red lantern to be light on your house area, you need to compete with another wives, the scheme, the betrayal, either will put you through or will make you fall into the madness. It’s a battle that will drenched you with loneliness and tears.
Song Lian starring Gong Li was so good for this role. This movie focusing on her role most of the time, I barely remember others roles except Meishan, the 3rd wives, and Zhouyun, the 2nd wives. This movie reminds me of Ruyi’s Royal Love in The Palace and Story of Yanxi Palace drama. Got the same vibes but Raise the Red lantern is the shorter version that made into a movie, also only differences is the status. While the two happened in the palace between the king and his concubines, the later one happened between the rich man and his four wives.
Overall, not gonna rewatch this again for sure. However, it’s a good movie that will teach you some of good lessons so please go ahead if you wanna give a try.

Serving Revenges / Wishes as Its Menu
First of all, of course I’m watching this drama because of our unnie Song Jihyo. And this drama, especially her acting didn’t disappoint me. Fyi, this drama titled The Witch’s Diner is about those who have desperates wishes / revenges that hope to come to alive. Once you eat the food made by the witch, you can wish whatever you want. But beware of your wishes, once it’s granted, there’s no way to turn it back. Plus, there’s price that you need to pay for every wishes you uttered.For me, this drama is not just focusing about the witch herself. It’s more than what you can Imagined. I think it can be best depicted as slice of life kind of drama. It shows you the harshness of life one can go through, from heartbreak, greediness, love, friendships, family, happiness, revenge and the closure one might needed. I think, this drama managed to conveyed them all.
For the acting, I don’t have any problem with it. Song Jihyo’s acting is a well-known one. And, of course she didn’t disappoint me. However, I think the production team didn’t give justice to her role, because I can count how many times she appeared on the screen. I want more of her since she was a witch herself and her role is significant in this drama. How I wish the production could give more screen time for her. The acting’s for other main casts is notable and oustanding. I didn’t have any problem with it either. I love the cinematography, the color fit the dark vibrant of witch’s life that we usually imagined, I also love Song Jihyo’s appearance with those black & red dresses, she’s stunning and serving looks as always. The OST, I barely managed to hear one or two of them, but it didn’t stay in my mind for long.
Overall, this drama have a potential to be a great one. Well, probably because it’s written to fit only 8 episodes therefore it can be understandable that everything seems like rush, simple and short. Still, I would like to give credit to the writer for making this drama likeable, and comforting at many point. It’s a heartwarming and so many lessons could be learned. Not every revenge is sweet, some will leave you with burden, agony and pain. Therefore, I rated this drama 8.5/10. Some scenes worth to be watching for the second times, and I would definitely do so.

Depicts Reality at Its Best
Just discover this movie last two weeks. Since then, I had watched it for two times already (the second one is just to thoroughly gain insight and conforming of what I’ve truly understand about this movie). Honestly speaking, this is one of the best movies I ever watched as far as I could remember. Everything in this movie are perfectly written and portrayed. I love how realistic this movie was all about. The fact that we all know ‘not all love lasts’ and not everything are ‘meant to be’. This movie really hits home though and make me cry bucket of tears. It portrayed the reality of life, the struggle in relationship, the struggle in daily basis in order to survive the life, and love that we expect to be happily ever after and dream that we wishes will come true. Also, at certain point, we know love alone is not enough to bring a relationship to a stable point. This movie shows that not all love story end in happy ending like fairy tales. Plus, it gives us (audiences) the sense of a proper closure. Just how the couple end their relationship at the end.I love everything about this movie. Zhou Dongyu as a female lead is a perfect choice for this role. She nailed the character of Xiao Xiao. The male lead (Jing Boran) is equally good in delivering his character. I love them both and hopefully they can reunite in another movie or drama. I love their chemistry. I felt all the emotions they delivered. Amazing job for both of them. And the role of ML’s father had me bawled my eyes at the end. “He become matured now, and I know it’s because of you.” He’s a father everyone would want to have.
Sobs ;(
Oh, don’t even start about the OSTs of this movie (I only know two of them and I’m hooked over the songs). The first one is the soundtrack sung by Eason Chen titled Us (women). Oh, please listen and understand the lyrics behind it. Heartbreaking and painful to describe. One of the lyrics written “my greatest regret is that your regret involved me..” if this not painful, I don’t know what else to say. The second song from Hebe Tien (title roughly translated as Friend who’ve love for a long time), if you recalled this song was played during their making love scene. I love this song too as the lyrics really kills me inside. For that, I gave 10/10 for the OST.
Anyway, a big applause to the production especially Rene Liu for creating this masterpiece. I would rate this movie 10/10 and definitely will come back again to rewatch this movie. This movie will stay in my mind forever, for how great and realistic it was. Highly recommended movie to watch!

Goudan Abode
“I must protect this world. Because only when the three realms remain, can you continue exist..” - YingyuanAgarwood Like Crumbs or better known as Immortal Samsara is one of the highly anticipated Xianxia drama in 2022. Now, the long waits is over, the journey begins for this epic love story to sail. From the trailer itself that gathers more than 1M viewers, i guess most of us can’t wait to see the seems unquestionable chemistry between the main leads; Cheng Yi and Yang Zi. Yes, it’s definitely did not disappoint.
Immortal Samsara is a story about two immortals; Sovereign Lord Yingyuan (starring Cheng Yi) and Lotus Fairy Yandan (starring Yang Zi) who fall in love with each other. However, because of the heavenly realm have set its rule where immortals are forbid to fall in love, this is where these two were forced to choose their stand. Yingyuan who devotes himself for the sake of three realms, also seeks to protect the three realms from any danger, chose to not indulging himself in love and put his responsibilities over his own feelings. Meanwhile, the carefree lotus fairy Yandan willingly gives up everything for her love.
The love story between these two transcends to mortal realms where both of them with no past memories ended up falling in love with each other again. Either in heavenly realm or mortal realm, they always face the same obstacles where this time, as a spirit catcher, Tang Zhou and as a future sect leader, he need to abstain himself from love, even more falling in love with the flower spirit (which considered as evil and cunning). Will they make the same choice as they were in heavenly realm or will they make amend and choose each other in this life?
IMO, Immortal Samsara definitely is one of the best Xianxia drama in 2022. The storylines is one of the things that keep me watching this drama. While some of the viewers might arguing that some part is a bit cliché with other xianxia drama, I do agreed but that’s really not a big thingy when the execution were thoroughly done and portrayed. Plus, if you keep watching, you’ll notice there’s so many uniqueness in this drama that other drama did not possessed. So please, give it another try if you’re in the middle of giving up.
Besides, with the visuals and incomparable chemistry between Cheng Yi & Yang Zi, I think you’ll missed out great things from these two great actor and actress. The micro expressions from Cheng Yi left me in tears and happy, plus with him portraying three different characters, it’s safe to say that he’s indeed a great and versatile actor. Meanwhile, Yang Zi for sure, undeniably good. Her deep emotions and characterisation as a female lead deserved acknowledgment. I’m loving her character in Immortal Samsara, smart, beautiful, and always know to stand on her opinions.
The OSTs totally pleasantly good. The whole OST in Immortal Samsara is my favourite. Agarwood the main OST is the wonderful song that whenever angst scene appears, this song will play in the background, and adding pain to our sorrow. Yang Zi - Watch The Day also is one of my fav. Girl really good in acting and singing, so proud of her.
Overall, totally recommended drama to watch. The journey gonna be worth it, the angst always keep us on the edge of our seats but it also makes us realised that sacrificing for the sake of each other is another love language. At the end, with love, even death seems to be a beautiful ending if we can keep accompany each other.
“I gave you my promise. Not even death can shake us. Now that you’re gone, why should I carry on living? Yingyuan, i’m coming to keep you company..” - Yandan

Love Sucks!
Love Is For Suckers finally close the chapter after 16 episodes. I have so much expectations from this drama as I really love the main leads in their previous work. Lee Da Hee as a cold hearted woman in Beauty Inside amazed me, while Choi Siwon as a cool and reliable second male lead in She Was Pretty really did an amazing job. From these two drama, I started to fall in love with these two. Such a promising talents. Therefore, with this combination in a romcom drama would be feast for my eyes, in a way that I would love to be served with a deep and meaningful matured love story (considering their ages and the background story) - friends to lovers troupe.I started the first two episodes with so much expectations and it didn't disappoint. It was good, there's humor here and there. It's a lighthearted watch. With then, I expected the remaining episodes will continue to be a great story until the end but my expectations were far too high and I were let down by it. My biggest problem with the drama was the storylines. It was messy and so much 'huh' moments that I could feel after watching the second half of the drama. I didn't expect much romance from the leads but it was barely there that I have to question myself, is this drama are meant for them? In my pov, it wouldn't bother much with the existence of romance between them if it's executed properly. But in this case, with a messy plotline, it makes everything else become messy.
On the other hand, im quite interested with the supporting casts backkground stories. It has much more depth and interesting plotlines. I love the second female lead, she's likeable and i can't help but feel pitied for her. I think she has the bigger role in this drama than others because she's the forces, the medium that unite the main leads. Also, love the character of John Jang and his love interest, it was pure and cute to watch. Others? Not much to say.
All in all, this drama might have potential to be a good drama. Something you will love to watch after a long and tiring day. It isn't much conflict exist in it, it was pretty straightforward, no heavy plot twist. But, I think it failed to reach the standard that audiences, like me, wanted. My conclusion after watching this drama is that, i think love sucks! So, is this recommended to watch? I will say no.
