2 Dramas in 1

Where do I start?

This drama is a good solid 9/10. The storyline is very interesting and engaging. However, it felt like 2 dramas rolled into 1 with A LOT of characters. The storyline all tied in nicely and kept viewers interested, but at times, you have to take a step back and remind yourself that you’re watching both a martial arts drama and political drama. I think they should have just focused on 1 category and the story would have been good either way.

The Good:
- Storyline: very interesting, very intriguing overall
- Actors: aside from my peeve about the FL being too young for the role, they did a good job overall. (I’ll expand more on this later)
- twists/plot: I love that the ML and FL are both incredibly intelligent and are alway one step ahead of the game. I hate watching dumb characters get manipulated and played on.
- no dumb love triangle: I love that the two leads fall in love and nothing came between them. All the characters were mature this way even if others were interested in the ML/FL, they knew to back down
- mature relationship: no dumb misunderstandings and schemings

The Bad:
- I felt as though the FL is too young looking for this role. Her character is a certified known martial arts leader and she looked 16. It didn’t make any sense. She looked good next to Yang Yang but honestly, you could tell the age difference is a bit off. She acted “tough” in scenes and I felt it was forced.
-Too. Many. Deaths.
- Odd part of ending (happy ending but one weird part, I won’t spoil).
- I wish they had another romance so we can have a second couple. There were so many good looking actors.

They promised us nothing

As much as I absolutely adored and enjoyed I Told Sunset About You, this sequel disappointed me.

Frankly, Teh’s insecurities and self doubts from ITSBY never resolved and he became the biggest villain of this sequel. HE NEVER ONCE FOUGHT FOR OH. They broke up because he decided he was bored and wanted something new. He cheated (yes, cheated) He got rejected by his coach and then came back to Oh. Then when they broke up, he dated a woman while claiming to Oh that he’s never forgotten him. WHAT?! So while Oh focused on his career, his life, his confidence and himself, Teh decided to ho around. I honestly would’ve liked it if they didn’t end up together at the end.

DYLAN, DYLAN, DYLAN

Y’all. I am SHOOKETH. Let me tell you. Try to get to episode 9… and you will be hooked. TRUST. It needs to build up to episode 9. Dylan Wang as the Moon Supreme carried the entire show to the moon and back. He was PHENOMENAL. He Worked this role like a BOSS. Sexy, masculine, fierce, strong, brave, confident and above all.. he feared NOTHING. He acted his heart out and honestly… one of the best actors of this generation.

Storyline: very, very interesting. Ignore some minor flaws (mostly the FL in the beginning) and you won’t regret watching. The FL shows a lot of character development and becomes very lovable.

Love: Their chemistry is fire! When they fell in love, they fell HARD. Like one of those, I will die for you a thousand deaths and flip off all them haters in the process with hellfire. Their love was indestructible. I enjoyed all the romantic scenes and affections.

Second leads: did not disappoint. They all kept their morals strong and no one was evil. Very enjoyable to watch.

OST: for the first time, I really enjoyed the music. Incredibly moving.

Overall, I’m off to watch more of Dylan’s other dramas. Huge fan, now!

Call it BEAUTIFUL

A slow burn romance to top most slow burn romances. You got 2 incredibly complex characters with incredibly traumatizing histories and they come together to create a beautiful love story.

It starts out with our no non-sense badass but impulsive FL. She’s got revenge on her mind and she won’t stop at anything to achieve it.. until she meets our kind hearted and greenest of the green flags ML. However, she’s supposed to wreak havoc on his life as part of her revenge. So, what is a girl supposed to do? She fell in love.

It’s not a typical girl and guy fall in love kind of rom com. It’s about growing past your trauma, pain, internal conflicts, and allowing yourself to heal. I love that we get a no bullshit FL who’s not afraid to love, not afraid to protect those she loves and not afraid to love even her supposed enemy. Then, you get an incredibly warm and kind ML who’s slumped shoulders show a man carrying the weight of the world on him. What he needs is the love of a good woman. Here, enters our FL crashing into his world and coloring his blank pages. He also helps to bring colors into her black and white world. 10/10

OMFG.

Ok. Where do I even start? This was dubbed the HORNIEST BL drama to date and it did not disappoint. All of my wild BL fantasies came true. So many sexy men on the screen.

I read the history of how this drama came together and it was not the smoothest journey for the crew with the pandemic, budget etc. I was so glad to hear the Mile (Kinn) himself decided to step in and funded most of the project in order for them to complete the drama. What we got in the end was an incredible journey.

The chemistry between the leads and other couples were sizzling, sizzling like crotch on fire hot. Apo and Mile are incredibly handsome and sexy on their own so for them to come together, the screen and viewers stood no chance. We did not recover after the first episode, y’all.

The cinematography was stunning and the visuals in each scenes really captured the essence of the drama to the core. The steamy scenes… wow… groundbreaking. They really, REALLY, went there. They did not hold back. Phew!

Anyhoo… this is definitely a must watch for BL fans. I look forward to many more of these in the future.

We should all tell sunset about this series

Absolutely breathtaking. I love the cinematography, storyline and acting. It’s a compelling coming of age drama that pulls you in because it explores all complexity of friendship, family and love. The acting between the leads are just beyond words. Their tears captivated me. I love their honest conversations, inner dialogues and also the scenes where they don’t talk but you can FEEL their tension leaping off of the screen. Example, that scene on the beach when Teh discovered that he has feelings for Oh and they basically danced back and forth with their simple touches. You want them to kiss but the soft and tender touches transcended more of their emotions. This is definitely a must see for all BL fans.

Conflicted Addiction.

Here’s the thing.. I watched the drama and I read both novels to cure my curiosity on how it all ends. As much as I anticipated the drama, it is honestly not appropriate. Period.

Yes. There is sexual assault. Not once but multiple times. The ML basically forced the other ML on numerous occasions and not just in that one scene. The “kidnapping” in the drama and the second “kidnapping” in the novel are both disgusting and uncalled for. It did not add to their story or development. It showed how psychotic the ML is and his obsession became overwhelming. Who does that to someone you love? Forcing them to have sex with you and forcing them to love you? To make it worst, the story ROMANTICIZED the abuse. The whole, “I did it for us” BS played over and over again. What a disappointment. This could have been such a beautiful story.

Throughout the entire drama and novels, they both continue to act out in all their jealous charades thus proving they should not be together. I’m so disappointed.

A MUST WATCH.

I held off on watching for years bc Go Go Squid Season 2 was not good (let’s be honest, it was bad).
I accidentally watched that first so I gave up on Season 1. I stumbled upon this again and decided to give it a try. Omg I’ve never been happier to be wrong. THIS WAS JUST AMAZING.

1. Li Xian as the ML is enough for me to justify why this drama is so good. He is dashingly handsome and the swag he gives to this character is the cherry on top. His chemistry with the FL is phenomenal.
2. FL is not the best looking actress but I have to say, she’s a great actress. Her character here is surprisingly not the typical annoying young girl in love. She’s smart, calm and very understanding. It made sense why ML fell for her even though he’s so picky.
3. The bromance is very sweet and touching.
4. It doesn’t focus on the competitions but on the interpersonal relationships which is why it’s so good.
5. No dumb love triangles. The leads do go through rough patches but it needed to happen for them to grow and strengthen their love.
6. No “evil” dumb characters. Just a lot of growth, development and wonderful story about this group of incredible people.

My suggestion- watch this., then watch the last episode of season 2 for their bonus happy ending!!

Mobsters with Diabetes

Why Mobsters with Diabetes? They’re too sweet to be true. These are less mobsters and more white collared criminals wanting to reform by working hard to assimilate back into society- a society that is not willing to give them second chances.

Then enter Mob Boss aka Mr Soul aka Mr Voice aka Mr Sexy AF Mofo. He has cheekbones of steel and a voice of thunder. Not only is he loyal, loving and kind, he is also a teddy bear in disguise.

Take this and add in the usual Kdrama formula and you get an incredibly sweet and light drama:
- co habitating
- group of funny friends
- strong and hard working FL
- SML who isn’t an asshole, persistent but not pushy
- there’s really no love triangle, ML and FL only love each other
- a sprinkle of serious moments but mostly fun and hilarious moments

I would watch just to hear ML whisper murderous threats to me.
