Season One & Two review

Season One
The acting, chemistry, pacing, and writing amazing up to ep 12. Then they switched writers for the rest of the show and WOW YOU CAN TELL. The show ent down hill for me the writing wasn't great and it DRAGGED!!
They should have wrapped things up in ep 12 instead of doing 16 eps that were eachother well over an hour.
Episode 6,7 and 11 were my favorites and the ones that pulled emotions.
Last ep was a little to clean for my liking but it wrapped up. Season 2 100% was not needed and I feel this way about ALL Kdramas that get multiple seasons.


Season Two
This was a difficult watch the writing was all over the place. This season was random and felt forced 100% a fan service season. Wish they would have made a movie instead or better yet left it with just one season.

Rewatch? NOPE

Such an enjoyable watch ??

I watched this one for the FL lead I am a new fan of this actress after her 2024 project Knight Flower.

This was an enjoyable watch and looking forward to season 2. This is coming from someone who isn't a fan of multiple season shows.

PROS:
◇The acting
◇The chemistry 🙌🏽
◇Writing
◇The 2nd have was more enjoyable for me personally. Really enjoyed when the whole team was completed 👌🏽
◇The ending


CONS:
◇Certian topics I wish were developed more. In Ep 15 & 16 they were beautifully done just wanted more time. Hope that makes sense, really trying not to spoil anything.
◇ I was a little long they could have cut it down 5 episodes or make each ep 1 hr and it could have been 20 eps.
◇The Humor didn't alway land for me personally. I did get used to it so it didn't bother me as much in the 2nd half.

This was a fantastic watch and really happy I picked it up. 🩷📺

Wholesome Zombie Binge Worthy

I wanted something spoky but not super scary and this was perfect 👌🏽
If you like the zombie 🧟‍♂️ Movie Warm Bodies you will most likely enjoy this show.

PROS:
◇ Surprisingly Wholesome
◇The lead actors acting
◇Female Lead
◇The light romance (more like a crush)
◇The ending
◇The zombie affects
◇The comedy was fun

CONS:
◇If you are familiar with the mystery genre the plot is a little predictable.
Not a necessarily a bad thing especially with a show like this.
◇The side characters (other detectives) 🕵️‍♂️ took me forever to like.
◇Some of the writing felt a little out of order.
◇Some editing choices example music louder during scene changes. Felt choppy.

Overall glad I watched it super fast binge show and a good time over all.

Not Perfect

Short Drama

PROS:
◇The couple was cute

◇Short drama only 7ep (20-30min)

◇How the leads both apologized often and wanted the other to be happy.

CONS:

◇Wish they focused on getting to know each other a little more before the physical realtionship.

◇Production wasnt great low budget it was 2020.

◇Insta Love through ing the L word only after days of knowing eachother.

◇Wish there were time skips or lapse showing the realtionship grow.

Overall a one time watch for me personally.
PG13 for the married couple realtionship. More then Kdramas less then american shows

BEST ROBOT SHOW I HAVE SEEN SO FAR! ??

A Robot in the Orange Orchard
2022

PROS:
◇The changes the made from the orginal (Kdrama I Am Not A Robot)
◇The chemistry
◇Healthy relationships (friends & romantic ones)
◇Following multiple couples.
◇The 2nd couple they were not only adorable but BOTH GREEN FLAGS!
◇The found family aspect.
◇THANK GOODNESS the doctor wasn't her creepy ex! He was really kind and loved him in this one.
◇The balance of genres
◇Also the cute & fluffy moments.
◇THE ENDING the little twist for the villian! I did not remember that from the Kdrama. It was done way better here.

CONS:
◇I only have one the writers remembered the orginal (Kdrama I am not a Robot) was a Meolodrama & added some tropes in the end.
It wasn't horrible just seemed a little random but still enjoyed it ♡

REWATCH? YES
This was a very enjoyable watched I loved it 100% more then the orginal.
The Kdrama is a Meolodrama with some comedy. The Cdrama is a slice of life rom com.

Synopsis:
"As the chairman of a successful technology company, Lu Sen often finds himself in large group settings. While he has no problem addressing any number of people, he has incredible difficulty with any sort of direct, physical contact. Suffering from a strange allergy which is only triggered by direct skin-to-skin contact, something as simple as a handshake could prove deadly. Without the ability to directly come into contact with others, Lu Sen is intrigued when he learns a doctor by the name of Fu Yang has created an incredibly lifelike robot companion dubbed “Friday”. Willing to invest further in Dr. Fu Yang’s work, Lu Sen has requested Friday be delivered to his home so he can test out the full capabilities of this incredible creation. Though agreeing to Lu Sen’s request, the doctor is mortified when a last-minute technical issue renders his robot useless. Unable to bear the thought of losing both his credibility and his funding, he asks his former assistant, Yang Shan Shan, to take the robot’s place, just long enough for him to get it up and to run again. Being the real-life model for the robot’s looks, Shan Shan is identical to the robot in every way and only agrees to the doctor’s request when she realizes she really has no other choice. Arriving at Lu Sen’s home on “Friday”, Shan Shan does her best to emulate the robot’s behavior..."

Best Mulan LIVE action I have seen so far ??

Mulan 2009
I picked this one up after hearing by many this was the best and closes to the Legend of Mulan.

PROS:
◇The focus on the mental and emotional toll war can and does have on a person.
◇Mulan wasn't a perfect character she was flawed.
◇The character growth
◇The writing
◇Chemistry between the leads
◇Overall plot & deployment of the story
◇Didn't get as violent as it could have.

CONS:
◇Editing wasn't super great I think because of the budget.
◇We didn't get alot of time with the side characters to care when things happened. That being said it was sad but wish they had more screen time.
It was just a movie not a show so I also understand.

Rewatch? Yes

TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️
◇Death
◇War
◇Talk of domestic abuse

Not Great ?

This movie was such a let down 😔

I don't understand how it sets at #1 best movie on Netflix right now. America Netflix

One star for the main actress she did a fantastic job acting as a robot 🤖

PROS:
◇Robot fighting was good
◇The main actress acting 🙌🏽
◇The CGI was watchable

CONS:
◇The writing
◇Pacing was off
◇Didn't have the heart they were aiming for.

optional it had but sadly didn't work for me.

Such a great watch

This is a Comedy and Murder Mystery. There is no romance between the leads.

Now that we got that all cleared up.
Let's talk about some pros and cons shall we.

PROS:
◇The acting
◇The OST (Original Soundtrack)
◇The plot
◇The Writing
◇The foreshadowing was 👌🏽
◇The way they had as guessing till the last episodes was amazing.
◇The FL best friends crew they were so much fun!
◇The chemistry

CONS:
◇Not much because it stayed true to the genres. I would say maybe pacing in the middle.

Overall this was a fun show and enjoyed it while it was airing.

Rewatch? Probably not a good one time watch for me.

Wasn't a fan :(

I want to start this review by saying the genre MEOLODRAMA is not for me.
So this is "me not the show" situation. I didn't know the genre going in and part two definitely was MEOLODRAMA heavy.

One & Only is a historical, war, Meolodrama. This is Part one of the story/plot.

Forever and Ever is a modern day Meolodrama. This is part two of the story/plot.

Technology you don't have to watch Part One to fully understand Part Two but it's advised.

PROS:
◇Bai Lu is an amazing actress and I will ALWAYS give all her projects a try just for her. She was in the 1st Cdrama I ever watched so I'm a huge fan. ♡
◇Some of the side characters especially the kind ones. Loved them and wanted to protect them.
◇The OST
◇The Reborn trope always a fan.

CONS:
◇I didn't like the Meolodrama elements of it. (Again that's on me for not double checking the genre before going in)
◇Amazing actors but sadly didn't feel the chemistry between them.

The only reason I finished it was because I was promised a happy ending. Also that part two was lighter. Will it wasn't yes the LEADS got a happy ending but part two felt even more sad then part one at times.

Overall if you are a fan of Bai Lu and are trying to watch all her projects then maybe watch. If not maybe pass on it 🙈

Also many Trigger/ Content Warnings please look into before starting.

One Time Watch for me

A Date with the Future
36 episodes
2023

SPOILER FREE

Over all I am glad I watched it. I wouldn't rewatch it though or fully recommend this show.

If you like this type of stories I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Chinese drama You Are My Hero.

As always here are some personal PROS & CONS about this show.



PROS:
◇The rescue scenes and trainings.
◇Having multiple couples to follow.
◇The OST was sweet
◇The dogs

CONS:
◇The Meolodrama tropes that were really random at times and felt super forced.
◇The pacing was a little off at times.
◇Could have been cut down to 25 episodes and still felt like a complete show.
◇The lack of boundaries in each pair. I understand it's a work of fiction but some of things the characters did :(
Stalking level.
◇The message was a little forced and I didn't love how they delivered it.

Rewatch? No
