The title lives for itself; almost perfect at first but became another usual show afterwards

I watched a clip of this drama from a specific social media platform and notice how handsome the main lead is, then I decided to binge-watch the whole show. The epilogue from the pilot episode was new to me. The way he watches a silent-comedy movie in a theater and started crying is a fresh idea and definitely one of my favorites from the show. Romance was okay, I can feel the chemistry but not that impactful. At first I was finding a hard time to accept the teacher-student intimate relationship but since it was a contractual bond and the girl are soon to graduate, I just accepted it.

Our grand/parents should stop expecting their child/ren to marry someone because not everyone is lucky enough to find the rightful partner who shares the same kind of love from each other, and it took a long time to find one sometimes. The white lie was executed good and the factor that initiate the main lead to set a proposal to his student. As the episodes goes on, I realized that without an eyeglass he looks like Jackson Wang, but still I prefer him with eyeglasses. I find it funny that the main couple loved to kiss whenever they are in the middle of a phone call.

The second couple Lu Yu and Yun Lan are both so lovely. The moment Lu Yu’s character appeared in the show, the atmosphere became so jolly. I want to pinch his cheeks every single smile he takes. Yun Lan on the other hand was a charismatic dependent woman who is worthy to be a role model. Lawyer Meng as the second lead was an unexpected strong competitor yet the show ended up his character after only a few episodes. The story ruins Chu Chu’s character, an almost perfect person who has only an eye for the main lead. Yun Shu’s circle of friends are adorable as well, Yi Yi and Lin Nuo was good being ex-bf/gf but the moment they decided to be together once again, I disapproved. The actress portraying Yi Yi excels in acting yet her character became so annoying afterwards. There breakup is the right thing to do because they just keep hurting each other in the future by the things happened to their past but the drama pushes the two to ended up together which wasn’t even a happy ending for me.

I don’t like the ending. I am not fan of seeing someone who sacrifices his/her future career or long term dream just to choose a romance that can still possible even he/she pick the opportunity given to him/her.

During the earliest episodes, I feel like this drama is another show that will be added to my favorites but after few more typical scenes repeated over and over again, they failed to be consistently good. The ending isn’t even look like an ending but anyways the important thing is that I do enjoy the show for a moment.

Promising start -artistic and beautiful, yet the romance gets annoying after

The first few episodes were so great, they introduce a fresh, new, and an amazing fantasy storyline. From the cast itself, I knew that the acting will be marvelous and they show cleverness in acting as I expected but sometimes Ahn Hyo Seop forgets that he’s supposed to act as a blind man. I already watched a lot of Korean historical drama and most of them bored me at some point, the same goes with this drama but I’m grateful to witness a historical inserting magical powers and believes that make the story more colorful.

The best part of the show is how they highlighted the traditional skill of drawing and painting. The gathering or competition among many painters was my favorite episode of all time. The way they executed the variety of brushing techniques, the sound of papers and brush, the big factor of being able to draw an art that has different kind of impression, and the quality effects of each drawings was really a masterpiece. I have so much fun watching the episode so much plus the three best friends call sign is so hilarious and cute (troublemaker, nuisance, and frown).

The early episodes were light and comedic but then it gets serious and dramatic. It was during EP12 when I started to hate the romance from the story. Obviously, they failed to emphasize the love story in a more pleasant way. Perhaps it became another cliché story that let either one of the lovers affects the people around them just because of their undying love on each other. The girl does risky things even thou she or her beloved people can be killed any minute. Then the boy sudden change of heart is odd, I hate it when he’s loyal subordinate man sacrifices his life just to save the father of his girlfriend. Where is the years of planning for vengeance? The same goes with the girl, the antagonist was right when he called that the reason why her father was killed was simply because of her desperate love for his boyfriend.

On the other hand, I love how the second and third prince rivalry story were given an open ended story. The second prince shows explicit facial expression on acting as an antagonist, it was good. The third prince was one of my early favorite because of his cuteness and innocent character. Every royal family in a drama always have to fight for the throne all the time. The demon and all other mythical creatures explicit in the show is something I am really happy about.

Another part of the show that I love the most is the music (OSTs, background songs). Byun Baekhyun proves that he is one of the most incredible singer in the industry. Hearing his song is a beautiful perfection fit for the concept and cinematography of the show. All of the music are cool, especially the background song plays when the characters are painting during the competition, a soothing and elegance vibes.

Overall, it was really good but only the romance during the last few episodes affected my enjoyment of watching. The ending is okay as well as the epilogue. The cast are the reason I started to watch the show but I fell in love with the story which was a great experience for me as a viewer.

The perfect drama on showcasing Asian Puberty

Probably one of the best coming-of-age story that was really worth the watch. First of all, the setting and timeline of the drama was well executed, bringing the daily life of youth during 1996-97. The years when people lived without the use of modern technologies and how they keep themselves entertain by interacting with the real world. The bicycle as a form of transportation to everyone including the adults was really a thing in the past that I also want to experience right now.

Focusing on the life of 18 years-old students, this show let me reminisce those precious memories of my high school years, the more I watched, the more nostalgic I became. Both the struggle and fun times of every student were so realistic, in fact I do also experience those kind of stories. The beauty of youth will really be highlighted in your whole life if you share those years with your circle of friends. I am so grateful that I genuinely enjoy these years surrounded by nice, amazing, and kind people.
The variety of stories from the whole cast and their different background stories was the reason why the show is that great for me. The depth, appeal, plot, and how they overcome those painful situations is a double thumbs up. In short, every one of them is a loveable and relatable character, no one has been left behind.

Hua Biao being the not-your-typical-main-lead is really one of a kind. Growing up with a deceased parent, he manages to be a fine, kind, and intelligent young boy. At school, I love how he is so helpful to his classmates and a jolly monitor who joins the fun together with the whole class. I’ve been a class president many times and I know how serious this position is, it is a job for those who see his classmates equally. Outside school, he is still a hardworking and loving man who will do everything for his grandma. He’s life was truly a sad one, but it doesn’t let poorness ruins the quality of life. It was a heartwarming moments when his friends and neighbors help him in taking good care of his grandma and their home.

Yang Xi, the definition of a happy-go-lucky girl who shows an incredible improvement in life. Her personality liven up the mood of the show all the time. What I love about her is that she faces life with so much energy and a big smile in her face. Her family was my favorite one, a loving father who isn’t strict to his baby girl, a dedicated mother who will do everything to his children, and a funny and thoughtful inventor brother who’s no doubt that supported his sister in everything. Living with an honest family, her personality shows how awesome it is to be born and grow up being close to the family. The time when she finds out that her mother was lend off from the company, was really make me emotional. Parents really had the pride of creating an image of a strong and dependable parent to their child.

Li Yu is one of my favorite character that shows that a second male lead is possible to avoid getting a fight to the main lead just because of a roaming romance with the same girl. I don’t blame Yang Xi for not showing romantic affections towards Li Yu because you can’t really force someone to love you the way you love them romantically. It is so painful to see Li Yu loses his courage the moment Hua Biao confesses his feelings to Yang Xi, this kind of feelings continued on the sequence of next episodes. It hurts me so much that the story keeps insisting Li Yu on loving Yang Xi secretly. He is also the kind of student who wasn’t good at all subjects and had something to looking forward for improvements. The moments when he was shocked and emotional by his father and mother having another affair just shows how hard it is for a youth to fully accept the possible life of having a divorced parent. The last episode in which they finally admitted his feelings to Yang Xi and also say his goodbye was really an emotional moment for me. Living side by side the moment they were born to finally being separated for the first time is a big time crying scene for me.

Si Tu Er Tiao, the rich and supportive friend who is willing to give everything he had for his beloved friends is a treasure. I love how he didn’t question himself or his friends for expending money because he knows that he has a sincere bunch of friend who shares the fun moments in his life. It was a gloomy moment when he is the only one who isn’t qualified to even a junior college university but I’m glad that he had something to do for his future by going abroad. He was influenced by his father on being a successful and strategic entrepreneur, he is smart in the small business category. The father and son relationship isn’t that great because of how the father nature of being a womanizer affected the way his son treated him by calling his real name instead of a being called as a father. That’s also why he deeply wants attention from others, Si Tu Er Tiao really loves his friends because they are the one who make him feel at home.

Yang Xiao He Mei is the definition of beauty but not so brainy. Don’t get me wrong because I do love her. She was a kind and innocent young lady who only wants the freedom from her strict parents. I guess because of the pressure coming from her mother, this became hard for her to do well in the studies. Family issues are a different kind of pain; the parent and child relationship varies depending on how the parents treat their child. Consider yourself lucky if you had a peaceful relationship with your parents or guardian cause not everyone had it. The cute side of He Mei is her one sided love with Yang Chao, which turned to be her best-friends’ brother. Sad thing is, she was once again suffered for the pain, but even myself doesn’t regret it if I fall in love with a kind person like Yang Chao.

Huang Deng Deng deserves the best in character development award. At first I thought she will be another young lady who will be bitchy and creates a troublesome attitude to the main cast but it turned out that she is a loveable and honest woman. Her patient and determine is so strong no matter how many times she was rejected by Li Yu. One thing I’m glad about her is when she doesn’t fully sacrifice the ballet just to be with Li Yu longer. Unconditional love happens even it is one a sided crush. I can’t blame her for having a long time crush to Li Yu because the guy really was something hard not to love.

Each one of them explicit a kind of story that brings inspiration and life lessons to the viewers. The above mentioned characters as well as granny, Yang Xi’s mother & father, Teacher Kong Xiao Jun, Yang Chao, Li Yu’s father & mother, the headmaster, and the rest of the cast shows greatness in their parts of the story.

Although I give this a high rating score, there are some scenes that I don’t really like namely;
• I am the type of a student who avoid getting too close to my teacher. The specific scene when the whole class headed by Hua Biao, walk outed and even shouted to Mr. Kong was an off scene for me. No matter how much angriness I had over my teacher, me and my friends will never cross the boundary and did such thing. Respect is always taught to us. I feel that Hua Biao closeness to Mr. Kong make him treated the teacher the same way he treated a classmate when he is out of control, it was a nasty attitude for me. And yet, the only one faced Mr. Kong was Li Yu and Hua Biao and Yang Xi let the two talk out about what happened. Youth really tends to do things that makes adults angry.
• The head gang situation. Why do an eighteen-year-old student had something big to deal with a gang leader, I know it happens rarely but still a big no for me. Even though it is unrealistic, I’m still glad that they handled the situation in a comedic way of approach. The moment when Mr. Kong stalked his students and help them overcome the crises by means of an intellectual battle.
• The poor security of the schools. Anytime, they can freely enter the school with less worries because they know how to hide themselves in the room lmao. (Moments when Hua Biao practices his chemistry research on his previous school and also when he stayed at their classroom in order to hide his scar from his grandma)
• The romance of Hua Biao and Yang Xi. At first I truly like their chemistry but as the time goes by, I was feeling blank about their over growing feelings. I like them individually but not as a couple. But those farewell in the ending was so sad for me too. Hua Biao sacrificing a time for his studies and letting the rest of the time with his grandma being still conscious.
• The resemblance of some scenes from the hit Korean series Reply 1988. I know it isn’t a big deal but I can’t help but to feel it.

Of course if there is a negative feedback, I do also have my favorite memories from the show, namely;
• The comedy and emotional moments. I can’t count how many times I cried when watching the show.
• OST, the masterpiece. The first time I heard the song, I already knew that it will give me the kind of feeling I keep wanting to; the soothing and heartwarming emotions after hearing it. A beautiful song perfect for the story.
• Yang Xi vs Huang Deng Deng. I laughed so hard during their campus fight, the presence of the whole students from the school was so funny. Bickering turned into violence hahaha
• Every episode is wholesome. The 24 episodes delivered some strong emotional feelings to me, a person who misses his teenage school life.
• Knows how to make the main boys so attractive, both in their physical appearance and their charming personalities. Either one of them really deserves the love from the main girl.
• The involvement of the parents and teachers to the students’ academics.

Overall, it was a flawless ending. Growing up means that you will also experience being far away from the people you had in high school. Everyone will continue living by pursuing their dreams, setting on a new environment is necessary. I feel so much joy and happiness finishing the show, it makes me remember how youthful living at 18 was. I already love the ending but if season 2 may happen, I am openly eager to wait for it and watch the new season with a happy heart.

A gift for EXO-Ls

Finally, another reality show for EXO after a long time since the last one. I just hope Lay was part of it too. I just keep laughing and smiling the whole episodes. It's lovely to see every one of the members having fun and comfortable with each other. I've been EXO-L for years and knows how solid their bond on each other is, but this show let us see more of them, creating precious memories together.

EXO is the reason why I've been a KPOP fan today. I love them so much!! I would also like to thanks the people behind the filming and editing success of EXO Ladder because obviously they did an awesome job producing it.

To Xiumin, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, DO, Kai and Sehun, thank you for being my huge source of happiness! I patiently waiting for your comeback. We Are One! EXO Saranghaja!

Probably the worst C-Drama I've ever watched so far

First thing first. The only reason I started to watched this was simply because Johnny plays the main role in the show. He’s acting skill doesn’t disappoint, he was just good but there’s a lot of things that I don’t find interesting and it was quite ruin the fun of watching. The story seems like a corny and boring version of the hit Korean drama, Descendants of the Sun. The doctor and soldier relationship is a good significant foundation of a solid romance drama but the actors portraying the roles is not being even close to be called as an actor with “average acting skill.” The main girl acting is not consistent; I like her as a doctor but when she took off her hospital gown and started to act like a normal woman outside her professional field, she’s too nosy who loves to scream a lot. The way she acts cute was really annoying to both my eyes and ears.

There’s no something new from the show, overused cliché scenes that I already seen from other dramas. It was really boring that I can’t help but to fast forward the whole episode and watch it in a 1.5 speed. I feel like the soldiers in the show are being too sexist and too full of themselves who was overconfident just because they are man. There’s a certain scene where the main lead told the young boy (who I found an annoying brat too) that crying is not for the boys. The hell is wrong with a man crying? I already told that Johnny was the reason I watched this but his role isn’t something that I really like, even a bit, it was just not my cup-of-tea vibes to a person in general.

The cat! HAHAHA the one talking cat lmao. Another factor why the show is a joke for me, it’s so ridiculous to make a talking cat exist to a non-fantasy drama.

NO CHEMISTRY FROM THE MAIN COUPLE!! Being a romantic show, of course the viewer need to feel the butterflies interpreted from the story. On the other hand, I feel nothing but annoyance. Her ex-boyfriend has more interesting story than the couple in combo, and not to mention that the man portrayal of the role is actually clever, the way he acts really fits the role he was given.

I am super eager to drop this show for a long time but my personal pride keeps winning. I already told myself that no matter how bad the drama is, once I started to watch the first episode, I don’t have any other choice but to finish it until the end. Funny right? HAHA but that’s just me being firm with my own words and promises in life.

Thank you for executing a great medical series that showcases the goodness of mankind

Another season, another success!

The strength of this show is that the storyline is as great as the actors portraying the story. Every patient along with the doctors has something to share; some has a heartwarming and tearful stories, and some are so painful that leads you on crying too much. The scenarios are super realistic, allowing me to be so grateful that medical workers exist. Saving lives is already a heroic act and I have my full respect to those who walks their path in this kind of profession. Medical field isn’t a joke. Life is precious. And thanks to these people, we can continue on living.

Unlike any other show, the absence of villain character doesn’t make the drama less. Perhaps, it’s actually worthy to see how the story only revolves around the life of medical professionals whose main goal is to treat patients with their utmost best without an excessive novel-like drama.

You learn while watching. Every surgery, operations, and treatments seen in the drama is absolutely well-performed. Most of the times that they are performing some of the surgical operations, I paused it first then search for the said illness, medical procedure, machineries, items, and other related medical matter. It’s a drama that helps a viewer to be educated or add some knowledge regarding on the mentioned stuffs. They feature different branch of medicine field. I get to see how ER doctors works, Pediatrician, Thoracic Surgeon, Neurosurgeon, Obstetrician, and General Surgeon all in one show.

I am living from every “Thank you doctor” and “I am sorry Ma’am/Sir for your loss.” The life of a doctor will never escape between the line of saving a life and losing a life.

Although it is a medical genre, it’s somehow light and fun drama. The comedy is presented well and create an energetic atmosphere to the story. They seem to enjoy working because they are laughing from time to time. Ik-Joon is a comedy legend in the show but I am always anticipating every Jun-Wan and Intern Hong-Do interaction. The way he keeps on asking the little intern medical questions was so cute on helping him to learn by not simply memorizing the terms but also by taking it into his mind all the times.

The romance is not that bad but not also that good. It isn’t a romance drama so it doesn’t affect my enjoyment in watching. It was just a fine additional spice to the story. Unlike the first season, Jeong-Won and Hyun-Bin moments isn’t that great for me. Another couple that didn’t make me so attached to them are Seok-Hyung and Min-Ha. I am not fan of Ik-Jun and Song-Hwa romance as well, I like her better for Chi-Yong but he only appears on EP11 with a limited amount of screen time in this season. If I am to ask, my favorite couple are Jun-Wan and Ik-Soon, they are so lovey-dovey and has the most interesting love story among the rest.

The staffs, nurses, interns, residents, and other field workers’ explicit greatness in being a supporter character. I love them all specially the twin brother, intern Hong-Do but I have a certain character that I’ve been attached too. The one who AWOL for a day after the death of his patient, Kim Geon. He himself is so cute specially when the doctors make fun of him by having a crush to Gyeo-Wool. Unfortunately, he only had a little bit of screen time but that’s enough for me to be able to fell in love with his character. Actually, there are many characters (most of them from patients) that make me emotional while watching. Stating them all will just lengthen this review more and more.

The almost 2 hours’ duration time of the 12-episode drama doesn’t make me feel bored and empty. I enjoyed watching and have my time worthy because as I said earlier, I do learn a lot from watching.

Just like the main cast and the people around them, kind hearted people are always in the world. Ready to help us in their own way and allow themselves to share positive vibes to one another.

idk if this one is good or bad

As a fan of the HIStory series, this drama is a must watch for me. But whenever I watch it, my feelings will be either happy or annoyed. The reasons are because of its pros and cons I come up with after watching the every episodes.

PROS:
• Good acting from Xeng Si and Li Cheng
• Effective comedy specially because of Li Cheng’s cheerful personality
• Really like the first half of the total episode. From pretending to having real feelings; it is cute and funny
• Personally, the 1 & 0 topic is new for me and I am so entertained on how they keep fighting for the top position

CONS:
• Poor camera angles
• The obsessed brother is so annoying and manipulative. Obsession is very different from love. I like Xeng Si but I just can’t help myself to be happy for their relationship. The story is very similar to the popular yet controversial Addicted Heroine from China. HIStory2: Crossing the Line, also shows step-brother romance into it and I think the franchise are trying to make it romantic but obviously they failed.
• The last few episodes lose the spark or lovely element I felt during the earlier episodes

I do enjoy watching it but I can’t give it a higher rating since there are factors negatively affects my feedback about it.

All out for their songs; grooving vibes and heartwarming lyrics

Slow-paced beginning but actually liven up the mood after a few more episodes. It was a boring start and confusing as well for some reasons, took me too much time to realize the online game setting. Another thing is, the drama implied too much sequence of coincidences like it really make the viewers patience boost.

As a fan of Lin Yi, this drama is a must watch for me but I ended up not liking Lu Jing so much. Lin Yi is an eye candy actor and I really love his expressions. The reasons why I slightly dislike Lu Jing is because he is too bossy and so full of himself towards his roommates and Taro. Plus, he is also disrespectful to Jia Yun. I know his personality is supposed to be cool and cold but I’m really sometimes annoyed with his own action. He likes to look down on some people and I am happy that there is a scene in which he and his closest roommate friend has a conflict regarding the way Lu Jing treat him. Anyways, Lu Jing growth and character develop is a good thing during the last few episodes of the show.

On the other hand, I love Liang Chen’s personality, full of ambition and passion. The struggle on her career for wanting to do her own music and shifting from another genre is my favorite part. I was inspired by this to let my decision varies on my personal choices and not by what others tell me to do.

The love story of the main couple is cute and sweet but I am more into Taro and Shan Shan. The second couple love story is super fun and pure. Aside from them, the cutest boy for me in the show is Gu Fei Ming, he wears such an adorable and fancy smile. His character is also so cute and funny, I just wished that the he has at least few screen time during the last few episodes, I was waiting for him at the end but nothing appeared.

The most enjoyable part of watching this is the serve of amazing songs. It was so much fun hearing it and so loving to read the lyrics. I even downloaded the songs because it is really nice and pleasing to my ears. “Never Stop” and “You Have Me” are my top favorite songs.

Lastly, the best lesson of Love Scenery is that dreams are always been there to keep us going. Your own feelings must come first and be the key to let yourself do the things you wanted to do. No matter how hard for your dream to be a reality, one day, your hard work may pay off and give you the desired satisfaction you keep wishing on.

Cute but painful love story

I'm late watching this.

First of all, I love how cute their characters are and the ost itself is good as well.

I really envy their friendship, set aside the romance, I wished I have a squad like them because it's rare to form friendship that will last until you married or find a job. The names Jiang Chen, Chen Xiaoxi, Wu Bosong, Lin Jingxiao, and Lu yang will always be remembered.

Jiangchen is a cold but smart man who is supportive and helpful to his friends. I love how he manage to be so calm and independent in life.

Xiaoxi, the cute girl who only have Jiangchen in her heart, also implied great character development. From a not-so-good-in-class girl turn out to be a successful animator who follows her dream after all the failures she received. For me, I don't blame Xiaoxi for not choosing Bosong, because as a teen, we really tend to focus on one person and even after she became an adult, I love how honest she is to her feelings.

Wu Bosong on the other hand, is the most caring and selfless character through out the show. He was rejected two times but still keep smiling Everytime he see Xiaoxi.

Lin Jingxiao is the bravest among them. She is a good influencer and explicit the true meaning of friendship.

Lu Yang is the cutest. He is the first friend of Xiaoxi among their squad and he is always been their to support his friends even though he was always playing around. I love his relationship with Jingxiao, thanks goodness they end up marrying together.

The school scenes are my favorite parts of the entire series. I remembered how loveable it is to study together with your friends and create good memories together.

Their university life, is the beginning of entering the life of an adult. Which is also good because it tackles more serious things that mostly happened to everyone.

Overall, I must say that it was indeed a BEAUTIFUL Chinese drama and deserve the recognition it receives. I learned a lot from this.

I hope for whoever is reading this review may also found someone who will continuesly love them the way it should be. Because we are all deserve TO LOVE AND BE LOVED.

Better than the first one

The reason I watched this is because of Moon Bin, Hwiyoung and Won Bin. The three of them didn't disappoint me.

Okay, the thing that I love the most here is the chemistry of Moon Bin and Won Bin's character. They literally give me butterflies in my stomach. I didn't expect that they're chemistry will be on that level.

and yes... I fall in love to Hwiyoung more and more because of his acting here. MOONBIN and HWIYOUNG uplift the show from their sexy postures to their cute speaking voices.

The other cast did well too but doesn't really leaves an impact to me.

From the cons of the show:
- it is really short, I wished to see more.
- for a person who undergo a heart transplant, we can't see any scar on Moonbin's body.
- if only they can make the romance of the side couple more interesting and not about cheating and falso hope love.


Overall, it was really a good webdrama better than the first "The Mermaid Prince" mini series. I enjoyed watching it and took plenty of screenshots most of the time hahaha

Disappointed!

I was so excited when they announce that a season 2 is coming up but when it releases I was really disappointed. First, they change the story of TinCan where in they start from being strangers. Second, I am annoyed by Plan's acting this season and Techno's acting too is so stiff. Third, they focus on TinCan's story but it doesn't have the sparks I feel from the first season, all they did in the last few episodes was to make love duh. Forth, the music is good but it doesn't lifted my positive review from the drama itself. Overall, I am basically giving this a 2/10 rating but then again I reconsider their efforts.

My dear MeenPing has the chemistry but not consistency

It is my second drama wherein Meen and Ping are the paired couple, and as expected, both of them still have the chemistry that wins the audience to continue consuming their show. When Ping’s character was introduced, I was in awe of how cute this man is. His acting may be totally below average when it comes to heave scenes but whenever he has a youthful and joyful mood, the whole scenes are just like a ray of sunshine full of fluffiness and majestic smiles.

In this drama, they gave a second lead syndrome in which, Whal played by Winner, absolutely caught my attention to the next level. This guy is a total hottie and at the same time a softie. I can’t blame Guy for falling in love with his best friend Whal as this man knows how to take good care of someone by showering them with utmost care and attention.

Another thing that ticks my attentiveness is the unexpected pairing of the mafia assistants. I must say that I love how they shaped the non-toxic masculinity with Tul’s character, who seems manly and macho.

However, I noticed that MeenPing drama is great during their first few episodes but not that consistent as I felt a little bored during the last few episodes. I also experienced this kind of emotion during their first major acting as a pair and maybe it was their acting or the storyline that gets too draggy at the end.

Nevertheless, I can’t hide the fact that I have a good time watching the show and despite the flaws it has, the drama itself managed to be an average BL one for me.

Positive multiplied by Negative is equal to Negative

Each show has its own pros and cons, some overcome it but some don't. Just like how Plus & Minus started up in a good run but began to stumble in the middle and failed to re-sprint in a recovery state.

A BL roaming around the field of law is quite fresh yet the storyline ruins the chance of it to be unique and memorable. The vibe has a lot of similarities to the previous BLs I’ve watched such as Beloved in House: I Do and HIStory 4: Close to you, that loses the spark of the show to cater its own impact. Nevertheless, one thing I’m grateful for this show is by reuniting some of the prominent characters from the other famous Taiwan BLs. Seeing them made me reminisce about their own story from their respective shows.

Connecting the title to the two couples, I must say that Plus goes to the main one and the Minus goes to the second pair. The lack of chemistry between the side couple and the nuisance acting along with the baby girl is a cringe. I skipped their scenes since it mostly distributes an uninteresting flow of story.

Fortunately, the main couple saves it but it isn't enough to save the whole show. That accidental kiss on the sofa was the only romantic scene I adore from them and the rest are pure plainness. The downfall of the show starts on EP07, all episodes prior to this one are good ones. Then I began to get really bored of the later episodes. Nevertheless, the finale was fine. Helding a wedding ceremony is a good execution not only for romance but also for showcasing the legalization of same sex marriage to their country, Taiwan.

Ending this with a positive statement that the Plus and Minus pendant is so cute!

The goodness in cliches only works during the first half of the show

A fun and quirky drama who got lost on its own pace. The show begins with a great execution of typical scenes that doesn’t feel bad at all. However, after EP07, I began to feel bored till the story ended and that boredness still hangs all over me. I did enjoy the whole flow of the story before the main couple officially became a real couple. It was a perfect performance for a light rom-com drama -cute and entertaining. They cast suitable actors to portray the fluffy element of the story. I’ve seen these main characters during their early years of their career and I am so proud that lately they are getting major roles that highlight their talent in acting.

The glimpse of bromance were some moments to savor, it was amusing and delightful. The friendship of the two women was solid and fantastic. Both of the couple have an undeniably fine amount of chemistry, enough to send me butterflies. That sizzling and passionate kissing scene from the second couple was hot and commendable. On the other hand, the development of the main couple from being innocent to slowly getting intimate was good too. Aside from visuals, I’m glad that all of the cast in this drama can perform a natural way of acting.

However, the last few episodes are when I started to feel bored, which explains the downfall of the show for me. After they became boyfriends & girlfriends, the fun was lessened and the flow of scenes weren’t consistently good. It feels like their love story is being overromanticized in a bad way. The cliches of various sequences of romantic ideas aren’t that strong to curve a smile on my face. Till the end, I lost the passionate interest while watching the episodes. Too sad that it came to this but still A Business Proposal was a rom-com drama that is worthy of your time to binge-watch.

Failed to end the story

In the first few episodes, I was so impressed with the story, cinematography, and acting. But on the last two episodes, I feel bored at all.

The letter which was the start of everything just vanished in the end. I don't really like the attitude of Nam Do San and one of his friend (the vlogger). Tbh, I really wanted to skip all of their scenes because it makes me cringe so hard. But I can't because I am looking forward for the next scenes coming.

The story was a fresh breath of air for a K-Drama fan like me who watched too many genres.

The writer did dirty to Hang Just Pyeong, who beat the main couple and steal the hearts of the viewers. Why did they start from creating a Han Ji Pyeong who always been good to Dal Mi. Unlike Do San, who's a cry baby, Ji Pyeong should be the one that Dal Mi chose.

That's it, I was just frustrated in the end and by Nam Do San's character but overall, I enjoy watching this drama.

OST's are sooooooo good!! I love it
