DAMN ROM COM DONE RIGHT

July 23, 2021

My Roommate is a Gumiho, is a rom-com done right. Like the executions are just there. So huge shoutout to the directors and producers and to the casts too!!! Sure one of the cons with fantasy rom-com is the plot doesn't make sense in some parts. But to be honest, the plot holes did not bother me. Like I barely noticed it. I think I only remembered the problems now as I am writing this review. ALSO, I do wish that they gave more room on the other couples or "ships". I feel like the secondary characters were robbed of some screen time. Sure I love, Mr. Fox and Dam's chemistry and their relationship. But man I really wanted to see more of the START UP couple, like their side story is just way too cute. And also with Dam's girl best friend and her senior. I really wanted to see more of their development. LIKE OMG DIRECTORS THESE TWO SIDE COUPLES CAN NEED TO STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES CAUSE I NEED MORE. THIS AIN'T IT. BRUH I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD. I HOPE THESE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CAN HAVE THEIR OWN PROJECTS WHERE THEY ARE THE LEAD, THE CHEMISTRY IS JUST SO GOOD. THAT IT WILL BE A WASTE IF THEY DON'T STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES. 😭

So besties, watch this drama it's so loveable and hilarious. Props to Hyeri and her character, since this is one of the few female leads who can actually speak her mind and is not a doormat. Also, I just love how loveable and not annoying her character is. She is strong, cries sometimes but not those losers female lead like ugh 😩 I hate those kinds of FL but Dam's character is just too good. Please directors more FL like her.

I guess that's a wrap for this review too. ahahaha
Enjoy!!!

What a ride

July 2, 2021

This drama is one of those drama that I must say is not romance base. I like how the drama does not focus on romance part like it is very subtle. I also like how each episode has its own mini story that is pretty much about what happened towards the former life of the spirits. And not gonna lie I was more focus on these mini arcs than the actual drama. Especially towards with the grandma and her ill relationship with her brother due to their fight and misunderstanding towards handling their father’s mental and physical health especially since he is considered as a “burden”. I cried buckets of tears, I couldn’t even pause the screen since I was just way too invested in that.

I definitely recommend this drama so I hope you watch it too

A really solid youth theme genre Chinese drama

May 8, 2021

It has come to end for bingeing this series and I must say I am not ready to say goodbye. I did not expect this drama to be that good! I really thought this was just some fluffy youth cdramas that I will breeze through. But all the five main characters really captured my heart. I relate so much to the family, friendship, and relationship dynamics that each character has.

Tan Song and Cheng Zi's relationship is so cute and pure! I really envied them so much. Obviously, since it is a cdrama, it is not very touchy or steamy per se, but I can feel the sweet innocent romance that they have. I must say in my 18 years of living life, I have never experienced such naive and fluffy romance. So seeing this drama really made me envious.

ALTHOUGH I AM SO MAD AT JINXIAO AND CHEN ZUI'S ENDING. WHY TF THEY DID NOT END UP TOGETHER. I NEED A SPIN-OFF STORY FOR THEM CAUSE HONEY THIS AIN'T IT. I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD HOLY. THAT'S WHY I TOOK HALF A STAR BECAUSE WHO ON EARTH DID THIS. I NEED TO SPEAK AND TALK TO THE DIRECTORS AND WRITERS CAUSE THEY DID THEM DIRTY AT THE END. YOU GAVE US ALL THESE TENSIONS JUST FOR THEM TO NOT HAVE A PROPER ENDING. Their ending was so confusing and unclear, I was literally like what on earth is happening??? Did the writer became lousy at the end or what?!!!!!

As for the other story, I won't get into too many details as it will ruin the fun and suspense. But I did not expect to laugh, then cry, grieve, and experience such a roller coaster of emotion in my life!!!

Short fluff that is forgettable

April 28, 2021

Be My Boyfriend is a pretty decent web drama. Nothing special in particular but I still like the series nonetheless. For example, there are certain parts of the series where the male lead Seungmin acts like your typical k-drama female heroine while the female lead Jina acts like the stereotypical male lead. I guess since it is a web drama, I am a bit generous on my rating. Tbh, if this is a regular drama, I would have probably given this a lower rating.

So all in all, this drama is short and fluffy. Easy to watch not emotionally draining. Something to watch when you are experiencing a drama slump like me right now who watched back to back Thai BLs. Also, I must say that the leads here have such great visuals. Especially, Jina's ex like I am not supposed to be rooting for him. But man he is so fine. Like every time he shows up I am straight up staring at him and not paying attention to anything else.

Ae and Pete is one of the few none toxic relationships in the BL world

April 28, 2021

Love By Chance season 1 is a pretty darn good series. I have seen the reviews for season 2 especially with Tin and Can's story arc. And I must say I am not sure if I will be able to watch it. As much as I love Tin and Can, I hope they can save season 2 for me.

Anyway, back to season 1. Ae is such a sweet heart. I love and live for this man. Hands down one of the best tops out here. He literally tops out everyone on my list and I mean literally. Although, Pete can be annoying with his "do you really love me?" type of validation. I understand it since he went through a lot. Especially because of that jerk Trump. How ironic that his name is Trump...

Tin and Can, well damn. I was not expecting that. I won't say too much cause I was shocked and overwhelmed but damn, I really love their dynamic especially on how Can shook Tin's personality and views about other people. That part where Can punched him was really memorable. I mean their kisses are memorable as well too hehehehe..

Strong couples and chemistry with no annoying break ups, or typical drama cliche

April 15, 2021

My Little Happiness really set the standards for ROMCOM series produced by China. This is one of the few series that really stand out there. The plot itself is nothing particular but the way they executed everything was good.

Cong Rong is such an amazing female lead. She is strong and does not need others. She is also very independent and smart. While Wen Shao Qing is such a fantastic man. The way he cherishes Cong Rong and does not misunderstand between them is amazing. I have never seen such an unproblematic couple. The way they resolve everything as soon as possible is just phenomenal.

Onto our second couple, Cheng Cheng and Wen Rao, yes they have their own issues but the way their love story progresses was amazing as well.

Both couples showed strong chemistry and it is through the roof!!! The Wen family are really good kissers LMAOOOO Like I swear Wen Shao Qing and Wen Rao are always kissing their gfs. Like damn, she ain't going away, I guess they always wanna keep their lips moist!

Can’t believe its midnight

April 8, 2021

I started this a couple hours ago and boom its 12:30 am and its already the next day.

This short Taiwanese drama is one hell of a ride. The ending scene definitely made me intrigued and almost heart broken. I have so many theories as to my that might have happen. I clearly can sense it’s something about the Dad of the ML.

Also, damn that make out session was chef’s kiss. It was pretty long too. 🤩 I am happy that the two leads are getting another season. I hope it justifies and bring a stronger chemistry. Though, their chemistry is already fantastic. I just hope season 2 is more steamy since they are now both consenting adults.

A love that goes through the realms of the world

April 6, 2021

Love and Redemption is one heck of a ride drama. This drama deserves the rating that it has. The next part contains spoiler, read at your own risk.

The male lead, Si Feng is the most worthy and well-deserving person I have seen in Cdramas. In similarities, as the scapegoat heroine, he reminds me of Wei Wuxian from The Untamed. He went through multiple reincarnations just to get with the female lead. And you know what's so sad about it is that he is so selfless for love that he keeps hurting himself.

As for the female lead, the Goddess of War is indeed heartless and selfish in her previous self. But it is all due to that STUPID KING. I HATE THAT MAN SO MUCH. THE ENDING DID NOT GIVE ME JUSTICE. HE DESERVES WORSE PUNISHMENTS. THEY LITERALLY JUST LET HIM GET REINCARNATED AGAIN AND GET PARDONED BECAUSE HE DID IT FOR THE "THREE REALMS" WAS JUST PLAIN UNREASONABLE. I HATED HIM MORE THAN THE OTHER VILLAIN. I FEEL NO REMORSE TO WHAT HAPPEN TO HIM. FOR ALL I CARE FOR, HE CAN JUST CEASE TO EXIST.

Although, the ending did justice. I am so happy that each character got a pretty solid conclusion. The drama is one hell of a ride. 59 episodes was a bit long in my opinion. I think it would have been better as a 40-50 episode drama. Some arcs feel repetitive so I skimmed through those episodes. Henceforth, I am giving a lower rating in plot production. I guess that is the major occurrence in historical dramas. I still love it nevertheless but I hope they can find a way to resolve the draggy plots.

In the name of darkness, let light prevail

Jan. 20, 2024

My Demon is definitely that kdrama to start this year of with. I know that this has been hyped up for a while due to the popularity of the casts. Needless to say, it is definitely worth the hype. It has a good mixture of cliches, vibrant of what a typical fantasy rom-com kdrama.

I know a lot of people are saying how the plot is not really a plot. And I definitely agree with that. This show is very light hearted and fluffy to digest. Even though there are darker themes shown and discussed, it is still easily taken over by the light hearted of the shown. The plot is very basic, and at times it can be predictable. However, no matter what critics might say, I definitely still love and will continue to rewatch this series. I think it has given me a good nostalgia ever if I rewatched it again as My Demon is on par with that season of really good kdrama in the last quarter of 2023 plus the first few months of 2024.
(I am referring to the fact that My Demon, Welcome to Sam dal-ri, Park's Marriage Contract, A good day to be a dog, Castaway, Doona, Vigilante, etc. are around the same time of airing. And this era of kdrama airtime is really that good. I always kept looking forward to them every single week).

As for what kept me hooked into the show, I am for sure that it is due to the execution of the cast rather than the plot. The casts of the series carried the show, especially in the latter part.

It is a happy ending, and I enjoyed the roller coaster ride of emotion My Demon has provided. There might be plot holes but it did not really bother me at all.

Cheers 😏

He was sunshine, I was midnight rain

October 23, 2023

Doona, this kdrama hits so hard, because I feel like it is a perfect story regarding the behind the stories of romances of idols/celebrities with "ordinary" people. This kdrama made me cry at the end because I know the pain of having to choose your career over romantic relationship.

The OST hits so good as well, but Midnight Rain by TS really captures the storyline of Doona and Wonjun. I know a lot of people are mad about the ending being unsatisfying, but I think this drama is about the reality. And the sad truth is not everyone will experience that happy-ever after ending that they dream of. Donna is a perfect example of that.

So please, to all the ones who is asking for that reality melodrama spiced up with angst. Please give DOONA the love that is deserves!

DAYUM WHAT A SERVE

July 5, 2021

Ok so, I never really read the reviews before I started watching it and I might be biased since I have been waiting for this drama to finish because Park Bo Young is starring. But I love this series from the beginning till end. Sure ep 15 could have been a bit better as to why I put a 9.5 there. Since I kinda had troubles understanding how Saram got back. But you know what, it is what it is.

As for the ost, whole bops. From txt to Gummy, the whole album is a whole masterpiece.

I really love how the love triangle was on the second lead couple instead of the main couple. I really love everything about the relationship dynamics of Saram and Dong Kyung. Maybe Saram was like your typical tsundre along with the main male lead for the second lead couple. But these two men are such gentlemen and they are so fine as well. Like damn, where to find them. Also, the third couple, Dong Kyung’s two colleagues were such a good couple either. Like they represent more of the cheerful and youthful couples. While our main and second lead couples are the one who suffered and overcame such obstacles in order for their relationships to flourish.

Anyway I think Dong Kyung’s little brother had the best character development in the whole series. I really love how he changed and look at him now. He may not be your typical Asian boy who graduated from college. But at least he is thriving as a Manager at the Coffee shop. And maybe people might look down on him. But hey a job is a job. And I am proud of him for accomplishing such career.

I don’t know what to do now. I really will miss this drama. I hope y’all will watch it!!!!

Astounding two main couples

April 21, 2021

Damn, I must say given the reviews of other users for this series. I was expecting it to be really bad. But this drama is not. I understand that the plot can do a bit more work but if I am being honest I did not mind its imperfection. Maybe it's the casts that saved the show. But this is pretty good!!

Fighter and Tutor's dynamic as a couple is superb and as much as the typical BL misunderstanding that happens between them. I was not agitated as other users. I believe that they have a pretty healthy relationship. Moreover, I just wanna say in that one particular scene. The trust on them towels though. How did it not fall????? HMMM Also, Fighter do you have foot fetish or smt?? Cause this man do be eating Tutor's feet at the damn time...

SAI FAH IS MY MAN SORRY ZON. BUT HOW IS THIS MAN SO CHARMING LIKE THE WHOLE TIME IN THIS SERIES. SAI FAH KEPT STEALING MY ATTENTION. LOWKEY I GOT JEALOUS OF ZON LIKE GET ME A MAN LIKE SAI FAH PLEASE. HE IS SO FINE, FUNNY, AND CARING.

Anyway, on to their relationship, I feel like Zol really was the catalyst to Zon and Sai Fah's relationship. Their relationship did not show NSFW scenes like Fighter and Tutor but those kisses were bomb as hell. Still mad the directors cut the nsfw like they already slept together. UGh /hj

My friends better step up their game cause these four are squad goals I ain't kidding. Also, that last episode gave me diabetes like literally.

I feel like this is one of the few series where both main couples are strong. NO ONE OVERSHADOWED EACH OTHER!!

Get me a Taemu please and thank you

April 8, 2022

A Business Proposal has lined the cliché up and I am devouring all of it. Everything in this series is pretty much predictable and you can kinda see how it will end. However, episodes 1-11 were too good. The execution and the delivery of the cast carried the drama. So what I am trying to say is that A Business Proposal served all the clichés that we all love.

Although the reason for my 0.5 deduction is just cause the last episode was a little underwhelming. I am seeing other people’s comments and I am definitely going to read the webtoon. Because I did not get the satisfaction that I need.... I feel like it needs more and I feel like the timing is a little rushed. They could have given this series maybe 13 or even 14 episodes just to wrap it up nicely and not leave me with this unwavering feeling of unfulfilled.

But everything else is top notched. Along all the rom-coms released recently, A Business Proposal ate and devoured all of them. A Business Proposal really up the game for the Rom-coms for the first half of 2022!
