Slice of life of people bts of celebrities

●This drama gives a small insight into how the Korean Entertainment Industry works. A slice of life of the people behind the scenes of the celebrities. well, I enjoy dramas with a daily life substance and show their day-to-day experiences.

●A light-hearted, fluffy drama about the struggles of people behind the stars. All these celebrities keep on making mistakes, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally because they are humans too, every one is bound to make mistakes. Also because they are celebrities some people make trouble for them by maligning their reputations. There comes their image maker or PR Team (Public Relations Team) trying to whitewash their mistakes. Why because if they don’t have clean image celebrities will not be loved and public and have no work simple. To have the success they have to have a respectable image because stars fall with just one scandal or rumor ruining their entire career which may or may not be true.

●The struggles of people working with celebrities are depicted nicely. Reporters, managers, drivers, lawyers, and many others. The story is fast-paced and does not get hung up on the one storyline, it jumps to the next story so sometimes I felt that what happened to that last case of mistake/crimes and realized the writer just wrap it up in a clean report with the help of PR teams.

●The best part of this drama is that it focuses on each and every character, not just the leads therefore it was so pleasant to watch as everyone has a distinct storyline. Newcomers are struggling to become hit, old stars are struggling to remain in the industry, and top stars are struggling to remain at the top. Besides the leads, there are four other romance storyline that develops gradually over time and not in an instant which is satisfying to watch.

●Acting wise I liked Lee Jung Shin playing Attorney Do Soo Hyuk awesome. He was mature and precise, didn’t beat around the bush, and had a clear storyline.
Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae as the bickering leads were fine and loved their storyline as how ML tries to woo FL.
but the other bickering couple Yunaaa and Jae Hyun would earn the cutest couple. They had the same storyline in the drama and the drama of the world of stars drama.

●Music is pretty decent but not extraordinary which makes it worth remembering.

●Rewatch is for lifting up the mood to some light and fluffy stuff without much context and just enjoy the story.

●Watch this if you like light dramas and have nothing else to watch.
●Do NOT watch if you want a deep storyline or some hardcore romance. Because it is a typical light cringe rom-com drama.

not recommending

Had great expectations after reading a few good reviews and indeed it started off amazing with the high school first meet and relationship progression in the university. But after that it went downhill, the story went all over the place showing the typical cliche Kdrama plot of a breakup for a misunderstanding. And then the story went all over the place and I lost interest waiting for it to finish somehow.

I don’t understand why it was titled ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, because nothing special happened. It was like you attended the wedding of your old friend, crush, or classmate after receiving the invitation. Maybe I was expecting some drama or a bit more emotional ride but alas that didn’t happen. Because of the insignificant title of the movie, I would never rewatch this movie.

Kim Young Kwang as a fun-loving and unambitious guy was super good. His actions and expressions were excellent.
Park Bo Young was fine but I didn’t like her much as she didn’t make an impact on me.

writing the review after watching this for 6th time

●FIRST IMPRESSION
GANK YOUR HEART, another drama that lets you comprehend that even if the entire world looks down on you, you can still accomplish your dreams.

●PLOT VIEW
The story is typical yet amazing, the black horse of the team rising to the top. I have watched other Esport Cdrama too and watched it for gaming reasons but here it's more of the story and team building, friendship, trust, and respect for the country.
Ji Xiang Kong fights every day along with his team to be a national champion but as always, misfortune kept chasing him. and only to make him realize that if he wants to achieve his dream he needs to take a different path and have assistance from his loved ones. simply saying when all the doors are closed, you just look around and you will find a new door.
On the other hand, I liked how Qiu Ying went through all the obstacles from a live streamer to a commentator. She dealt with each of her relations in a kind although hurt but she didn’t let the other person get hurt. The dynamics with her family and brother Xia Ling were wow.
The secondary couple Lu YiYi and Lin YiXuan were lovable with their squabble over insignificant things and their relationship developed greatly.

●ACTING/CAST
**Wang Yi Bo as Xiang Kong watched him first time. He was way mature in acting out his skills as a gamer and as a chocolate boy too. He sure is charming. I read that he is a professional racer and that's why the drama also had bike scenes, Yeah I could see his love for the bike in the drama. Those pieces were short but vivid.
** Wang Zi Xuan as Qiu Ying, strong, kind-hearted, and Independent. She doesn't give up in spite of getting so many hindrances throughout the drama. Her fashion style is amazing, shorts or dresses she looked fresh as a flower in everything she wore.
**Jerry Yan as Pei Xi was silent yet nice. He looked attractive and gave a perfectly imperfect vibe.

●MUSIC
About the OST, "The Most Burning Adventure" sung by Wang YiBo was very catchy and instantly makes me dance. after the drama I watched its MV he surely did a fantastic job. his moves and voice are just amazing. I RECOMMEND THE MV OF THE BURNING ADVENTURE
“Outside the sky” is yet another soulful ost that I like from this album. Others are also good but this two won my heart.

●REWATCH
Already re-watched it for 6th time and it still gives tickles just as the first time as I forgot the story and wanted to have some pill of Wang Yi Bo.

●FAV SCENE
Decisive championship game sequence. This scene is the most gratifying one of all the ESports dramas I had watched until now.

●APPRECIATION
The romance, gaming sequence, and character evolution were on spot which sometimes made me feel like am watching the game sitting in a live arena.

●RECOMMENDATION
Watch this if you like fuzzy yet thought-provoking drama. more friendship than romance.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Sometimes when you are with your loved ones, you may feel lonely but once you realize you can see they have always been motivating you.

changes made to the story for drama version

●FIRST IMPRESSION
An ideal adaptation of the webtoon. The cast is legit supremacy. A feel-good drama. This show has an ocean of rom-com dose for us from the start to finish. I went with the progress of the story without bothering about who should get the girl. The romance, bromance, friendships everything was so enjoyable. but near the end I got that writer managed to give an ongoing webtoon a cliche closure, not perfect but it was fine.

●PLOT VIEW
I still think the series could've been shot better. this series also missed some elements to make it perfect TBH it was so cliche in every aspect. Like turning a perfectly good character Kang Soo Jin into a troubled child.
The mean mother sudden change. In fact, I had the feeling that more than school bullying, Im Ju Kyung faced bully from family especially her mother.
Also if one doesn't wear the glass they don’t become blind, they can still see things although blurry but they will see. When I'm Ju Kyung glasses are broken, that scene was made beautifully but I had to say this its's a stupid scenario.

●ACTING/CAST
Everyone acted awesomely well as per the story. And I like all the characters.
CEW was handsome as ever but he needs to have more skills for expression. Just a cold face with glimmering eyes is one expression, and he needs to work on that. He looked cute in the scenes with his friends, which was comfortable and enjoyable.
HIY gave an amazing performance, I saw him in 18again and he shined in this drama too. He makes a high school student more enjoyable to watch with his sharp eyes.
MGY was beautiful and was a total fashion goal in terms of school uniforms. I didn’t see any school drama with such varied uniforms. When we were in school we had just one uniform the whole year. Maybe the budget of the show was giving such an idea to makeover the face as well as the uniforms.

●MUSIC
OST and BGM were amazing These songs were making the scenes enjoyable giving in a more energetic vibe. I enjoyed every single track and have updated my playlist with these 3 tracks “Call me maybe”, “Love so fine”, “It starts today”.

●REWATCH
It was a fun watch & I might watch it again in the long future

●AFTERTHOUGHT
The lesson learned from this drama is to make friends before you find love. Also how to not be a bad parent.

reminiscing my first crush

I was expecting some amazing goofy moments as the synopsis suggests that, all the guys of the group had a crush on the top student. Watching the film is like having a time machine, bringing me back to those days when I was in school. When you get approached by a student who doesn't pat you but pricks you with a pen so that they don’t touch you, slowly involving in your life having little secrets and some amazing selfless acts. Which eventually gets you a crush on the other but as time goes by we make mistakes and time heals them. The only thing which remains is friendship and memories
This movie feels like keeping a reminder of the crush you had in school back then, possesing the title YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYES.
While the opening scene was picked from a climax scene, which holds up the expectation of Happy Ending, but then the next scene takes you into high school with an epic dose of friendship.

this movie reminds me of the English movie American Pie. though this movie an ordinary backdrop with ordinary characters which we see every day, which connects with people so well. They were both young, naive, and incapable of understanding what was best for them. But it's a movie I couldn’t enjoy with my family with excessive naked scenes and p*rn stuff. It did add a humorous aspect with all the crazy BGM, but I won't be able to appreciate it when the other half of the story was so profound and beautiful.

The end was delightful to watch with a realistic approach. That beautiful shot in the banquet hall, even though is imaginary, serves as a bittersweet closure. CRUSH is like a cherished memory, even though we are not with them still we wish them a good life.

watched only for LDW

I am watching this movie in 2021 and I don’t feel the ecstasy that this movie would have back in 2008. the sole reason to watch it is LEE DONG WOOK, and he does an excellent job showing his distinct acting skills.

The movie was interesting but a little gloomy for my preference. It has a deep and meaningful simple story encouraging everyone to face their past and be happy and loved in the future. We all can just let go of our past and we should not feel sorry for a lifetime for those who are left behind, coz they also will be unhappy seeing us drowned in the past.

Many of the comments said that the cover of the movie is misleading, but I first saw the cover on IMDB so it was OK for me. But now when I see for MDL it's actually misleading because this seems like a romance sequence in the library which is not in the movie.

I really like the old setting in a movie, it has a charm which I can't find in movies nowadays. But still, I won't rewatch it.

Romance in magnificent jewelry world

•HOW I CAME ACROSS THIS DRAMA
I was watching Youtube and saw clip where a man proposes to woman on ramp. I watched this drama during lockdown in 2020 but now rewatched it again

•STORY
Gao jie and gao hui are step sister with same father but different mother. gao hui always try to get what is meant for Gao jie. Yu zhi and Yu Yi are cousin brothers who are grand-kids of a Rui Hua jewelry company owner. Both brothers pursue the Gao sister but there are obstacles and backstabbing.
Gao jie is a normal girl with dreams and passion looking after her mentally retarded mother. Gao jie and yu zhi meet abroad fell in love, upon returning to china they cross paths and romance blooms.
She is not a Cinderella but she meets a prince charming. I thought it to be a Cinderella story with evil step sister bullying her and winning cunningly. And the handsome prince Yu Zhi saves her. But the story is much more, involving two generations.

•PLOT VIEW
I was confused as the opening scene was about the wedding which is actually a middle scene of great importance. It made no sense to why put that middle scene as opening scene. It would be great to start the series with the abroad scenes of lead.
Initial episode just consumes and story is very fast pacing, although I thought of giving up midway seeing 53 episodes but I continued.
As the story progresses there is backstabbing and revenge and lots of manipulation and a repetition of past incident that is jewelry competition.
The repetition of past incident to correct the present seemed convincing as a drama plot. The whole story is about Jewelry competition between the sisters.
A very well written drama with a very good story and lovable cast. This tale of romance, misunderstanding and guilt was assembled properly. This circumstances could be anyone fate but to overcome in a balanced way and forgiving the past is necessary.


•ACTING
Janice Man as Gao Jie's positivity was truly remarkable.. At times she is annoyed, angry, revengeful, but same time she caring, honest, and forgiving. She is the girl who fights who doesn’t want sympathy, janice man just nailed it with her performance.
Zhang Ming En as Yu zhi was character with trust issues due to past incidents was heartwarming, loving and caring. His heartbreaking scenes were commendable
The romance was excellent. The chemistry and kisses didn’t feel that they were just acting. God bless janice man and zhang for doing such extraordinary job.

Melody Tang as Gao Hui seems snobbish, arrogant, I would stay miles away from such a scheming person. there is a saying that short people are more cunning, and looking at Melody tang character this is so apt. she acted so well that I really hated her.
Shawn Wei as Yu yi was nice but his expressions seemed bland at times.

•MUSIC
The music was awesome. Each song was worth listening.
Claire Kuo “Nice to meet you” ost is so beautiful that I cant stop listening to it. I updated it to my playlist.
Shaw “when love becomes loved” is another beautiful piece. It just makes me feel like am watching a bleeding heart.

•REWATCH
I already watched it thrice. And would definitely watch the series again.

•APPRECIATION
The exquisite jewelry and the process of creating it was shown nicely especially the handmade jewelry.
The traditional jewelry which is really less worn in modern times is presented vividly, I think it might give the youngsters an insight that how traditional thing still remain beautiful.
There lot of information about jewels which shows how excellent this career choice is.
The beautiful clothes of the entire cast specially the leads was eyecatching. The jumpsuit in forest worn by both was nice.

•CRITICISM
The fierce competition and the dirt involved in way too much.
The mother daughter duo underhanded techniques was worse, no
This drama has lots of coincidences, which actually seem unreal. As in meeting abroad and then in home country,, jewelry releasing day,, and many more but its a drama anything can happen.
The Chinese actors speaking english, I understand they are not fluent but they could have done few practices.
And last xiaoci tripping scene and getting concussion was so damn silly. If that scene is true then half of the world would be lying in hospital for having a concussion after falling.

•FAV SCENE
When gao jie and yu zhi see tree of life for first time.
When yu zhi sees the redrawn image of tree of life.
When yu zhi shows the laminated leaf.
Pigeon ruby jewelry with wings made by gao jie in the competition and its presentation at the gala.
These things held a significance until the end and it was really beautiful.

•RECEMMENDATION
Yes I would recommend it to people who love family drama with amazing romantic story line.

•AFTERTHOUGHT
It gives an insight that when you tell a lie you can only add to it and make a heap.
I also understood that if you be with evil people you might someday do evils too just like Yu Yi.
No matter how hard it is but no father should leave the family for ones own benefit, and one should repent when its time.
Trust takes time to build and a second to fall, so always be careful.
lastly i think the purpose of showing jewelry industry, is fulfilled and people get more interested to it.

●Story- as the name of the title my girlfriend is a gumiho, the whole drama Is how a gumiho transforms into cha daewoong girlfriend. As he has someone he has a crush on and his dreams of becoming a action star, how the gumiho inter-winds in his life is the basic crux. The story is sweet and funny. I wished if the story of Gildan was also given a space it would have made a more lasting impact.
●Acting- am a fan of lee seung gi and was quite surprised to see his wow acting at the age of 24. his actions were also good.
Shin min ah was good but she was toooooo naive character that I wanted to sometimes bump my head on wall.
Although this drama has cliches the chemistry between the leads was amazing.
Other character also played the parts very well. I liked the grandfather.
●Music-music was nice and enjoyable. I wished if the song cha daewoong was singing was made into a jingle it would been have awesome ‘my frined miho a cute gumiho’
●Rewatch- well its watchable once for me as the drama went too old I just watched it for LSG. Other than that its no for me.

Ji Sung just nailed the role

•Watched it only for ji sung and its 18+ title to know the story. And its really good and gives you break from a typical romcom.

•Story- nicely written. With shocker introduction. I liked that how friendship developed into.

•Acting- huge fan of ji sung and his acting. But this was like a blast when I saw him, although its just acting, it gave me shivers, and thats why he is just excellent.

Kim ah joong was also nice, as in phone voice she sounded really sexy.

The chemistry was natural and soft.

•Music- ofcourse the “panty song”.its lyrics are so amn hilarous yet so emotional. Ji sung sang it awesomly and really hits hard.

▪︎Rewatch- since its 18+, once is enough for me.

A clap for makeup artist

•Story-an unexpectedly good drama. I just wanted to know the aspect where a plastic surgery takes a wrong turn. The fl had breakup eventually finding a man who loves her for good deeds not just face.I had to say that BL characters were unnecessary and they simply made the lakron long. I skipped through those characters. I didn’t like the ending though it was unrealistic
•Acting- push as suea was amazingly good as flirting, hard working,handsome and not giving up on the one he loves. Mook as junita nice. Her makeup was done magnificently. I expected a more of her obsession towards a beautiful face but her role is more of naive and good girl.
The chemistry between suea and junita was amazing
Music- ‘mah tun way la paw dee’ by Mook is good ost.give it a try
•Rewatch- its a cute and lovable lakron so yes I am definitely watching it again.

•Conclusion- no slap kiss and forced kiss. Mooks acne face were done so perfectly,I give claps for the makeup artist.

A dare which changes the life

•A bet, a challenge, a dare which ultimately changes your life.

•Story- so its based on dangerous liaisons where a dumped girl wants revenge and uses her best friends. And ending wasn’t even appealing. Jumps to a timeshift with leads meeting again. Nobody gets the punishment for their wrongdoings is not satisfactory. It went draggy somewhere

•Acting-Choi soo ji was very bully, manipulative and mean. She was like playing with everyone life around her. Tae hee was our usual hard working, confident female lead falling for a bad guy. Her performance was good but not impressive that I would remember. Woo Do Hwan as Kwon si hyun is the only character which makes you finish the show. Otherwise I would have dropped it. His dilemmas with family,friend and love was beautifully presented. The only part I hated was why he didn’t make a decision and just go and forth between his friends and love. His ways of wooing tae hee was also nice.

•Music- OMG by joy had some great music and this ost was my fav.
•Rewatch- no, as this drama was hard to finish the first time only. If I had to rewatch only the romance scenes would be worth it
•conc-Dark and painful story but fails to impress inspite of the good cast. And as high schoolers can they really do that going around clubs seducing teacher and talking shit. This was the very worst kind of student discipline. Appreciation would be for how they all try to keep their friendship but they already had created wedge from the start of the story.
