I watched it because i quiet intrigue with the title. But a little disappointing with the story flow after all. Right now still to lazy to watch it to the end, just watch the ending is enough for now. Don't know in the future...

I think the character guide line write by ani411 is quite spot on. Can't more agreed than that.

What makes me lazy to watch is because i really don't like Chun Hua (CH) character. She so flip flop from Qiu Yue (QY) and Xiao Bai (XB). There is a little flop she moved from XB to QY, another flop moved back again from QY to XB. Maybe it's also because i really like QY character & i don't think CH give him enough credit. Really pissed me off... :(

Let's compare the Thai version...

Finally watch this after I can't keep my curiosity anymore for this re-make. Quite happy to watch this...

If I draw 1 conclusion between Thai & Japan version, for me the Thai is more like down to earth or more connected with me. I don't know is it because my country is closer to Thai than Japan, so I can relate more with this version. Or maybe because it just have more episodes, so they have more duration to explain some stuff. I'll try to explain it as much as possible...

The more 'down to earth' or what i more like:
+ The growth relationship between Achi & Karan better than Adachi Kiyoshi & Kurosawa Yuichi. I can't really explain how, maybe i just more like it....
+ The way Karan look into Achi is more obvious than Kurosawa to Adachi. The Thai version is kinda have broke 4th wall rule, we can see several times when Karan smile behind Achi, the smile that have obvious meaning....
+ The viewfinder of Karan toward Achi. We see how much care Karan of Achi. This proven by the speech Karan give about Achi in company gathering or the little gesture that Karan did for Achi everyday. I don’t remember such things from Japan version, maybe I'm wrong, or it just not too deep imprint in my mind...
+ The cuter Jinta than Tsuge Masato. And that's make the relationship between Jinta & Min is cuter too.... But at the same time Jinta is really one stereotypes characteristics of Gay man.
+ The strong Pai. I really like the strong & quirky Pai. The way she burst out to her ex is really fun to watch....
+ The 'dumb' Rock. Although Rokkaku Yuta is also a little 'dumb'. But I feel Rock is more innocent vibe than Rokkaku & that's make him cuter too...
+ The relationship between Pai & Rock. I really like & happy Thai version make the relationship between Pai & Rock happen.
+ A little Japanese touch. Yeah this one specifically for this version. I like they still make the boss be an expatriate that comes from japan, we can hear from his accent.
+ The growth in Achi. In here we can see Achi want to grow in his career. He consider quiting cause he feel his career is go nowhere, so instead allowing Achi to quit,his boss offer him new position. In japan we see no such, Adachi quite comfortable with his position in the firm. Yeah I know, this much have connection with Japan office culture.

The minus from this version is maybe that Karan put too much effort for Achi, so it seem imbalance for their relationship. I mean when Achi want to move city & they decided to separated beforehand.

Overall both series is good in their own way... I quite happy to watch both version.

Just like the title Not Me..

Seeing so many (+) score/review for this drama, my review will be on the negative scale. Haha... Who like it...? Just like the title Not Me. Haha... For me this drama have so many weird stuff going on that no sit right with me.

As usual the safe or (+) point first
+ Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat. I can see the diff between Black & White character. He acted good to make us easily distinguish between Black & White
+ The story of Yok & UNAR. I feel their story more neatly than the story of White and Sean. And I quite like the chemistry between First Kanaphan Puitrakul & Fluke Gawin Caskey.
+ The interesting, but unreal, connection between twin. Haha... Yeah we always fantasies twin have this crazy connection, like Black & White. They can sense each other, feel each other feeling. And Black & White just bring us the extreme case of twin connection.

Overall this one crazy drama on my list.... And down below is the weird stuff going on that no sit right with me. With SPOILER ALERT!!! So read with ur own risk!











================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
================================

The plot hole:
- The biggest issue for me... The BIG problem never really addressed properly. Is it about big figure, in this case Tawi, monopolize economy & corruption everywhere. Or about drug. Or about how he just above the law & acting arbitrarily toward everything. What is the biggest issue that our gang actually want to fix...? I don’t get it. It's true what Black & White mom said, if not Tawi someone gonna replace him & nothing gonna change. So what our gang actually gonna fix...? What all the protest about...? In the end nothing really change or at least they don't show us what change. Not even Tawi himself in the end we can see step down from being the num 1 man in business. NOTHING F*CKING CHANGE!!! So what's this drama about to begin with...?
- The second biggest for me the relationship between Black | White and Sean itself. It just feel so weird. One moment they still bickering with each other, maybe just start being friends with each other, and suddenly BUM they start kissing & have s*x. I just thought 'what the F*'. No i don't feel they have feeling for each other prior, no gaze what so ever that indicates everything going to be different. That's just the setting & the director just decided it's time to bring them together & to make it even worse, after that they can't even live without each other.
- Black & White so f*cking diff but no one said anything about it. They feel it, they know it, but NO ONE SAID ANYTHING!!! If u have a friend that change so much until feel like diff person, won't you said something to them, even just only ur suspicion, they convince you nothing diff or not that's other case. This even worse... They'll gonna do something dangerous together, with the friend that already changing, and still NO ONE SAID F*CKING ANYTHING. If me... I won't trust someone that change so drastically over night to do something that dangerous and important with me...
- Who is Black...? Why he seems so irritated and angry with the world? What his story...? Why he became who he is, right at the moment we get to see him...? What injustice he received until he feel he need to do something to changing it...? I need background story of Black.
- Who the old man that show up in the end of the drama. Is he the real BIG BOSS in the shadow? Through out the drama, I feel Tawi is not the Big boss. Tawi more like some face that someone put in the front to take the bullet.
- Who is Tod? What important role did he had behind the curtain...? That's never bring to light to us.
- Our gang break the law but never get consequences, just because they're the main lead or in the drama because people demanded it. What White and his friend did already break the law, not just minor mischief, but they're just never get consequences. Yeah yeah just a few time get shot. This can teach bad things in wrong mind. People can do bad stuff, but that's ok if many people think they did the right thing...

Watch this of course for my Xu Kai & Yang Mi. Although I quite like the dynamic between this couple but the plot itself more & more uninterested toward the end.

All the case related to them is kinda doesn't make sense & I kinda doesn't really understand what that's all about.... It seem what Qin Shi (QS) did in her lawfirm kinda over her scoop as an attorney, like when they defense He Dong Na, or when they want to make pre-martial agreement, all the things they did I don't know is it lawyer supposed to do...? And also all the chaos related to Yang Hua previous job very confusing....

What I really like from this couple (QS & Yang Hua) is how mature they are. They always talk about their feeling and honest with each other. But their feeling is so sudden & quite unclear when it's even started. The other thing that I really like is the friendship between Li Dai & QS. The healthy rivalry that in the end make friendship out of it...

What I really don't like is how childish Wu Fei is. Yeah I know jealousy is a b*tch and very hard to control. But at first she's the one that arrange the job for Tao Jun Hui & yet she's also the one that did all the stupid things in the end.

And don't let me started with QS's brother & his wife. How messy their marriage is. One of the most toxic relationship that I've ever watch in the drama....

Well in the end this just another drama to watch.

The title is not suitable

One drama that the title really does not describe the story at all. This is the first time I think the title is really far away from what is inside the story. Maybe this drama is supposed to exchange titles with One & Only. Although One & Only & Forever & Ever is really a rhyming title, One & Only more suits this one & rebirth for you really suited for forever & ever from the story side.

I really confuse with the English title of this drama. Rebirth for you, but the story none at all about reincarnation. How can you give rebirth to the title... If you just translate the native title 慕南枝, is more likely to be yearn for something maybe more fit with the story. Because yeah this drama about everything yearning for something, there is character yearning for love (almost obsess even), Qing Tai yearning for power, Li family yearn for clarification about injustice assassination their clan years ago. See... everything about yearning for something.

I haven't for a very long time hated one, let alone some particular character like this one. This drama has 3 stupid people that don't want to let go their love obsessions' & 1 person really be quite delusional too. I really want to slap all the character below to just wake them up. Here they are:
* Gao Miao Rong: She is really one thorn in the flesh for Li Family. In the end she was quite pitiful too.. When she already gives up she must be dragged back to the place where you can say center of the storm for her life. But thanks to the love from Li Lin in the end she still make a right decision. Yeah sometimes people said, to heal the love wound what you need is a new love is just so true.
* Han Tong Xin (the empress): She wants the emperor for herself. But as we all know, emperor never only belong to 1 woman. Yeah a little bit pity actually as her, at the end she has to witness her love died in the arms of her love rival. If only she find about the emperor love sooner maybe the story will gonna be a little bit different for her.
* Zhao Xiao (ZX): maybe among them all the most pitiful but also quite delusional is ZX. His situation reminds me of one particular word from Qin Yue from forever love when he confesses to Xia Lin Xi, "The most painful thing is not having never had it, but for almost being able to make it." Yeah, ZX situation really fit this sentence, he was almost together with Jiang Bao Ning (BN) but never got a chance in the end. But that doesn't make everything what he do in the name of love right, just like BN said, "I don't know if your love is true love or just being stubborn & selfish." Only blind person can't see the love between BN & Li Qian (LQ). But unfortunatelly the problem for ZX is the question of 'what if...' still always hanging in the air...

What I like:
+ I really like all the interaction between the couple here. Jiang Bao Ning (BN) & Li Qian (LQ), Li Dong Zhi & Qing An, even Dong Shan Hu (SH) & Jin Xiao (JX). Unfortunately the interaction between SH & JX is not so often in this drama.
+ Grand Empress Dowager is very cute grandma. Happy to see the actress Cao Cui Fen is still quite healthy to play in the drama.
+ LQ's step mom really one good step mom & quite funny actually in a way. Her interaction with LQ's dad also quite funny.

What a little bit out of place, or could be better in another way:
- The scene after LQ 'kidnap' BN from Qing Tai & having fight scene in the front of BN room. It just so weird BN didn't come out to see all the commotion, even maybe she just see what Bai Su & her husband brought from Grand Empress Dowager, if that me & I hear all the commotion, most probably my love one being beat up by my cousin, I will gonna come out & at least yell for them to stop. And after that what LQ said to ZX is simply just so sweet, if there's the scene where BN hear what he said, isn't it gonna be better...
- Several of the scheme in the drama sometimes just so confusing, not enough explanation in the drama.
- How BN as a princess to be said not getting enough nutrition when she was little (explanation by the monk when BN got potion from the arrow). She is a princess and grow up in the palace, where all the best nutrition stored, doesn't that mean she should be get the best nutrition ever possible... BN also not an outcast princess who can't get the nutrition she needed, even before she enter the palace, she's also not just random orphan girl who can't get food. See doesn't make sense....

Overall this is quite good drama that can suck me from the very first episode. Even though this drama turn out to be more than 45 min, the usual min for c-drama world, usually I often quite bored with longer duration, but I really enjoy this & not find this drama boring,

I never like k-drama. Start from the language, the actor (their face almost all the same for me, hard to part them 🙏) until the story (sometimes for me k-drama is a little bit exaggerating). But i'll make exception for del luna. This is by far my most fav k-drama.

Del luna have everything i hope from drama. Story include mystery, friendship until romance. The romance itself not too much, just enough to make me say owh, cry & laugh.... :p.

The main couple relationship progress really smooth & excellent. The ending also really perfect to close this drama. The song really good makes me want to search & download. ^_^

Hopping there will be the second season.

The summary given by MDL said that Si Tu Mo (STM) as accounting major who searching for her career winds up living with a genius physics student, Gu Wei Yi (GWY), who shakes up her daily routine. Yeah that just the beginning of the story but can't grip the whole story. Meh... This is not a story about that. This drama more like about a geek genius who fall in love with the girl & they daily life

Loved: How funny when GWY feeling in love with STM & how stupid he is when he try to confess his feeling.

Don't like: How stupid & Selfish Fu Pei (FP) is. Who like me first few episode feel like want to smack FP head. Don't understand why he clearly love STM but don't want to admit his feeling and make STM into his GF, just stay in friend zone. Why must wait until graduate. Stupid right.

Like:
> When STM finally stop being stupid girl that just can wait for FP to admit his feeling and change her feeling to GWY
> Happy when finally Wang Shan (WS) and FP can be together for real. WS really good for FP.

Re-watch: Like to re-watch ^_^

Watch this of course because of yang yang ^_^. But in the end fall in love with the story... :D

Never expected can be excited to the typical game drama like this where there isn't love involved at all. Kinda hoping in the sequel there is a little bit love action between Ye Xiu (YX) with Su Mu Cheng (SMC) or Chen Guo (CG). My choice kind toward YX with SMC :D.

Really love how cunning YX when try to recruit his team mate. Expecially when he recruit Wei Chen. Love how YX can give the space that needed by his team mate even though he need them in reality. Love how talkative Huang Shao Tian is, he is so funny... ^_^. Quite impress how brave SMC when she leave her team mate in the middle of the competition.

This is the second time Yang Yang cast as the best gamer in the drama. Quite curious is Yang Yang really good at games or what... B)

Re-watch: Love to re-watch it from the begin to the end :D

Even Xu Kai Can't help

Another drama that I drop. Combination of drama slump, busy day & bored drama, really drained my energy & RN I don't have extra energy to be drained. So yeah dropping is the best decision for this drama.

I don't know what went wrong with this drama. Maybe the combination of anime & cartoon that not on the right track, plus also everything revealed much too soon. Let me explained

Combination of anime & cartoon like what...? Well, for the first time in my collection of Martial Art drama that I've watch, I think this is the first one where every new moves given title like in old time cartoon/anime. More over the BGM also don't help, sometimes it's way too cartoony for me. What do you mean too cartoony...? Well you have to watch to understand, I don't have other word to describe it. And also a little bit cartoon in every episode to emphasize not helping this drama at all...

Everything revealed much too soon? Yeah from the beginning we already know who the bad guy/girl, even though we still don't know what their purpose for Dongbo Xue Ying in the end. Even they also revealed who the hidden agent among the good guy way too soon in my opinion. It's like they have no element of surprise again to be revealed later on. And that make me feel bored maybe... Haha...

In the end I try a good amount of episode (20 or half drama to be exact) before call it quit. Oh I try, even for my Xu Kai, to watch the end to see will I care about the ending or at least care to know how it become like that. Why...? To see do I still care enough with ending or process to endure the torment watching this drama. And to answer that. NOOOOO!!! Big NO NO. I don't give a d*mn care. So yeah I dropped this.... Haha....

just because Yang Yang & Dilraba Dilmurat

At first this is really a boring drama. Thanx GOD this drama is played by Yang Yang & Dilraba Dilmurat, if not maybe I'll already drop or hold this. However this drama compensates for everything in the end. 

This drama gets better Yu Tu realizes his feelings & gets better again after they are in a relationship. But still the aerospace things still bore me, I don't understand a thing about what they try to explain.

What I like:
+ Yu Tu (YT) & Qiao Jing Jing (JJ) both quite mischievous, they like to tease each other, even their family is no exception.
+ JJ is really down to earth as a very big artist herself. This shows us even the big artist doesn't mean always have to be all over the top.
+ JJ is a very fast thinker person. She can give a very fast response of a problem, its like just in a blink of eye she can think some response. Like she has response in the tip of her tongue. So funny to see her quick response & how YT expression of every instant response that JJ give ^_^.
+ No such thing as a love rival.
+ No other couple. They do not even try to create a second lead couple.
+ YT & JJ relationship is really one healthy relationship. With no stupid misunderstandings or conflicts that makes the relationship become complicated. Not even the money problem
+ really like how in the end the story doesn't stop at their wedding, but continues a little bit more to show us how important YT's job as aerospace scientist is.
+ how people expression when YT tells them that JJ is his GF. Especially Da Meng's expression, really funny.
+ How chill JJ with their relationship. She's really not afraid that her relationship become public consumption.

What doesn't quite makes no sense but doesn't make the story bad:
* YT so handsome but have no fan girl in his office ^_^
* all other friends keep disappearing after some time. Like Zhai Liang / "Panicky" who disappearing after he moves to Shenzhen. But that's life isn't it, not all the people we can keep in our life forever.
* No paparazzi ever hanging around their relationship. The only paparazzi ever try to get the scoop even get caught & can't publish the photo & article.

Overall I am really happy Yang & Dilraba Dilmurat in this drama together as a couple. But for the story itself I can't say this is the best. The story pace itself is actually kind of slow for only 30 min drama and 32 ep. Re-watch...? No, I don't think I'm gonna re-watch this. Next I hope I can see Yang-yang with Zhao Li Ying, Yang Mi or Yang Zi ^_^

Long time hesitate to watch this because of Zhang Binbin. This kind of story usually not really my cup of tea, but I really curious about the chemistry between Zhang Binbin & Jing Tian. So finally decided to check this out & turn out much like my expectation, finally decided to drop it.

Story about the the plant-alien hybrid (Yi Clan) named Si Teng (ST) , whose been slept for 80 years. Qin Fang accidentally wake her up & their journey begins...

What journey...? Unfortunately that's when i decided to stop care & watch, so i don't really know what their journey about. According to MDL summary it's about unrevealed ST memory. But the moment where I stop watch also talk about ST's taking her revenge.

Unfortunately for me the whole story over time not increasing my curiosity about Yi clan or ST herself. Instead they make me more and more careless about what happen in my screen. Although I quite like the chemistry between Zhang Binbin & Jing Tian, it still not enough to save the whole drama for me.

yang yang can't help

OMG i can't count how many times do i build up the interest to watch this drama since this yang yang drama. But even yang yang can't help me getting interest with this drama. Especially when i know in the end yang yang will gonna died.

Why i don't like...? Hm.... i don't know. But i try to watch & the story really can't pick up my interest. The main actress is not so beautiful & her expression kinda dull for me. Sorry don't judge me, i still like to see beautiful face in my drama.

Since now so many more interesting drama that i want to watch i don't think i ever look back to this drama.

Dissapointed ending. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Have you ever lower the score cause the happy ending? Well this exactly what happen with me & this drama. The happy ending left sour taste in my mouth, forcing me to give this drama quite low score. For you who still don't understand & feel the need to ask... Yes this has HAPPY ENDING, but for me better leave this with the sad or open ending than this happy ending. Or just leave this like Hotel Del Luna kinda ending is still better....

As usual save review first. AKA what I like about this drama.
+ The chemistry between Kim You Jung & Song Kang.
+ The growth in character Do Do Hee (DH) & Jung Koo Won (KW). Like to see them falling with each other, start to care & built their relationships. As well we also can see how KW more & more human each time he get closer to DH.
+ Although KW is demon with all the power possible, he still need the help of Park Bok Kyu to do stuff for him. Like investigation etc...
+ The cute relationship between Shin Da Jeong & Park Bok Kyu. Never expected, yet no surprise see them as a couple,
+ Jin Ga Young, Joo Seok Hoon, Joo Chun Sook. Like all these character. They being normal human that show us we each has our selfishness in doing our things, yet they not so evil that willing to sell theirselves to evil to achieve something.
+ The most interesting thing this drama give us. The sad truth face of human. There's always 2 kind of people, when devil knock on ur door. 1st is like Joo Chun Sook, turn over when see the demon herself. The other is like the last person, after make a deal with the devil, but when the devil ask us for our part of our deal, still do everything possible to avoid it, even lying through our teeth....

Overall this just another drama to fill ur days... Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
Now the sour taste in my mouth....
- They never really explained to us why Noh Suk Min want DH died. Or maybe just me missed it.... At first yeah maybe because of the inheritance, but later... WHY...? That's the point that I still don't understand.....
- Everything just end too beautifully. It's like the original plan is to close with sad ending, but someone just smash the table and scream I want HAPPY ENDING! And so here we are now... For me better close with KW still gone & the last reunion just happen in DH's dream. It's like KW said final goodbye to DH. It's more poetic & beautiful ending. Than this force, weird & ruinning happy ending.

Oh no...

Watch this after see someone on the feed make costume connection between this drama & The Deliberations of Love. While I'm quite happy with The Deliberations of Love story, but this one really disappointing...

Cause I'll gonna give SPOILER. As usual, the safe & what i like first.
+ The chemistry between Richard Li & Ming Jia Jia.
+ The intense story & plot
+ The cute fat little kids.

Overall this just another short drama to watch. Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

This short dama have one think I most hate about. OPEN ENDING!!! And unfortunately not a good one like Starry Love.

For me this drama is not end with sad ending but with possibilities of an open ending. If only they ended when Su Yan died, that's another story... But this.... To reverse the beginning and ending like this... Ugh!!! Scream Open Ending instead Sad Ending for me.

Really wish they open the drama with ep 19 instead just put it in the end. My suggestion for you who want to watch this, start watch from ep 19 first. That's gonna make the story a lot better.

See this on the feed. Wow... Wang Yi Bo & Dilireba.... Of course I have to watch this... Luckily for us this available on YouTube with eng sub. Here the link for you who want to watch this... https://youtu.be/VhGLnkTzEes?si=UKPbTsCIE7f5GsCq

Like Sidhika Trisha wrote this is definitely long advertisement, especially for Oppo & they obviously already said that from the beginning. This adv very creatively highlights a few features about the phone, especially the camera function. But that's doesn’t mean this only about advertising, this adv have story to tell that's really enjoyable to watch...

Well like Sidhika Trisha also already wrote, 'this is about a guy who loves dancing and would do anything to continue learning dance.' One day that guy, Lin Jin (LJ), meet interesting girl, Xiao Zi (XZ), that's promise to help LJ find his core dance if LJ do several task that XZ gave for him. And like karate kid story, every thing that XZ ask LJ did, eventually to help him with his dancing... And in the end LJ learn to include every little thing that his do in his daily life to his dancing moves....

And yes see Yi Bo & Dilireba together for this short duration make us want to scream: "GIVE US DRAMA WITH THEM AS MAIN COUPLE!!!!!" Haha....
