Crazy Love is a very fitting title…

The ML is a total math genius (which is definitely NOT something I can relate to 😂) who’s narcissistic & self-absorbed. He is extremely particular so when anything or anyone doesn’t meet his exact standards, he lashes out. He’s an unpleasant person whom his employees both fear & hate. Though renown & revered in the world of academics, those who know him personally are jealous of his success & eager to see him fail.

The FL, on the other hand, is his total opposite. Lacking in prestige & experience, she allows others to use her, though not always realizing they’re doing so. She’s optimistic & friendly, believing as long as she puts in the hard work, her efforts will be recognized. But when she receives a terminal diagnosis, she takes all her repressed emotions over her career & lays the blame solely at the ML’s feet… & begins to plot revenge. ‘Cause if she’s going down, she’s taking him with her!

And thus much insanity ensues. With them both lying for personal reasons (ML claiming amnesia, FL declaring she’s his fiancée) they’re surprised to find themselves falling into a crazy love.

Personally, I didn’t really enjoy the first half of this show. It was too OTT w/ all the adults acting immature & petty in their quests for revenge. Add the ML’s annoying, delulu ex to the mix & my enjoyment lessened. BUT I’m glad I didn’t add it to my DNF list because the Leads make up for a whole lot of bad once they get together.

Seriously, they’re such a solid couple. Lots of stuff gets thrown at them but neither of them ever waiver. They’re committed to one another & they take their relationship very seriously (as people should!) They had me grinning so much at their total cuteness together - their obvious & constant enjoyment of simply being together gives such couple goals vibes.

There are, of course, those who loved this drama from ep.1 & also those who DNF’d it. But if you’re like me then if you can just make it through their ridiculous antics & make it to their togetherness, I think you’ll find much to enjoy.

From First Crush to Forever Love

Hello, Beautiful Shades of Green 💚

Green Male & Female Lead.
Green Brother. Green Parents.
Green Friends. Green Roommates.

A cast of characters that you’d want by your side IRL. No rivalries, messy triangles, or petty jealousies. Just genuinely good people who make our Leads’ story more endearing.

At a young age the FL { Zhao Lusi } meets and quickly falls for the ML { Chen Zhe Yuan}, her older brother’s best friend. They share many beautiful moments together, but devastation comes when she overhears a rumor that he now has a girlfriend, leading her to cut off contact with him to heal her heartbreak.

They’re reunited while she’s in college and, as he experiences how much she’s grown up, the ML falls fast and deep. Unaware that she’s loved him for years, he sets out to win her heart.

And he captures the viewers’ as well *sigh*. The movie date. His honesty. Him attending her class. The birthday surprises. The roller skating date. Adjusting to her pace. The camping “trip”.

The comforting hugs. The protection. The hand holding. The flirting. The caring actions. The intense gazes. The sweet kisses. All.the.love! 💞✨

Their chemistry is so natural & believable. They’ll make you swoon, sigh, laugh, & tear up. They’re just so… good!

Will love take flight?

He just wants to be ordinary. She’s anything but. It’s a rough start for these polar opposites, but as they interact more at work, can they become friends… & let love take flight?

This is a beautiful story about a man with a disability learning to accept himself & allow the woman he loves close enough to love him back.

The ML has always protected the FL, even before they officially meet. The scene of the first time he did it? Amazing! And all the times he protects her throughout the rest of the drama just make me love him so much! He’s so worth my swoons!

Even when he’s irritated with her at work he always steps in & helps her. There’s just something about her that draws him in which causes him much confusion.

For the FL, she’s intrigued by him. He seems like a walking contradiction to her with how he’s pulling her in one moment only to push her away later. But even as he confuses her, she’s drawn to him (& so am I!)

I enjoyed this look inside what it’s like to work in an airport. It was interesting & not something I’d thought of before.

The Leads are super cute together. I loved watching them go from being leery of each other to becoming one another’s person - the one they value, trust, & love above all others. They’re forced to go through a lot of hard stuff so I’m glad they got the ending they deserved. 💜💚

And, I won’t give much detail, but the whole portrayal of living with a disability & trying to hide it to protect yourself - I feel it was really nicely done. I also appreciate how they showed how it can be for both the one who has the disability & for the one who loves them. It brings struggles to each person, that’s just a fact. But disabilities in no way render a person unworthy of love so I’m glad they showed that message accurately.

As a HUGE bonus, we see Rowoon as the SML & Nam Da Reum as the young ML.🩵

The pain & the cure

A beautiful story of helping someone heal in the way they need to, not the way you want them to. It’s both the pain & the cure.

This ended up being different than I was expecting from reading the synopsis. A lot deeper & heavier than I anticipated, but I adjusted to it quickly & was drawn into their story.

The ending is rushed & I heard it’s ‘cause it was intended to have 16eps but got cut to 12 so some important things are missing BUT it’s a HEA so it’s saved from being a total waste.

The FL is an inspiring character. Though she’s had a really hard life with no real home to speak of since she was orphaned, she isn’t jaded or closed off from others. She remains an optimistic & hopeful person, believing everything happens for a reason even if she may not yet understand the “why” of it. She’s a kind & hardworking woman who finds enjoyment in her work, especially when it brings the ML into her orbit. One look & she’s smitten. The more she learns of his story, the more intrigued she becomes. Girl falls & she falls fast.

The ML, however, takes some time to allow his feelings to get involved due to past traumas. He fell in love with his childhood friend & has held a torch for her ever since, despite her getting married & cutting off contact with him (I believe at her husband’s insistence.) He’s attracted to the FL, but he doesn’t want to acknowledge it or he’ll have to face that he needs to move on & let his past go. He’s not cruel, just sort of closed off. But he slowly begins to heal & open his heart to the connection he & the FL share.

As they spend time together while working & growing closer, they find that two different halves really can make a whole. I enjoyed their interactions so much. Sometimes they made me ache at the hardships they’ve endured. Other times they made me swoon at their total loveliness together. They really are a precious couple & I wish we’d gotten more of them.

The support characters added a lot to the story. Some their stories are just…wow. I really recommend this if you’re in the mood for something not fluffy & over-the-top tropey. It has all the dynamics we love in a kdrama without being too OTT.

Contract Marriage Turns Real?

Full of tropes & a bit cringey at times, I did still find some enjoyment in this. It definitely gets better once the Leads acknowledge their feelings.

A contractual marriage between the cold, “male god” professor { Wei Zhe Ming } and his calm, sunny student { Xu Ruo Han }.

Due to outsiders that cause misunderstandings, these Leads experience some unnecessary drama, imho. However, neither of them ever have eyes for anyone else {despite what the love rivals may believe!} As they navigate their fake relationship, the feelings become more and more real… until nothing feels fake anymore.

They’re a really cute couple once they’re on the same page about making their marriage real. I was rooting for them the whole time. I love their awkward innocence that leads to humorous moments. I like what they bring out in each other & the bond they develop. They have good chemistry, as “enemies” then reluctant partners, as student & professor, & finally as friends turned lovers.

This is a sweet love story with a guaranteed HEA & no real drama trauma so if that’s what you’re in the mood for, give this one a chance.

PS - FL’s drawings are a fun bonus!

Conspiracies. Secrets. Growth. Love. A lot is happening at the Police Uni.!

Just jumping right in..

The ML { Daniel Kang } is a rule follower who doesn’t rock the boat. Aside from his best friend, he’s a loner who seems aloof & cold to others. He’s following in his father’s footsteps & is only focused on graduating at the top. This means not challenging the way things go or questioning authority. But he’s about to meet someone who changes his thinking.

The FL { Chae Soo Bin } is a lively & friendly girl who followed her crush to Uni. in hopes of winning his affection. But as the days pass she finds her heart leading her in another direction. With every hardship she faces, it’s the ML who’s always there to help/comfort her & he quickly becomes a friend she relies on.

I loved the Leads. They’re such a wholesome couple. Witnessing their love blossom amidst hard stuff [ bullying, corruption, rivalries, & de@th of loved ones] was so beautiful. It brought light to their dark moments & gave them hope when life was overwhelming. They have such a solid relationship that nothing could ever make them walk away from one another. ❤️‍🩹

And their chemistry is so good! They have lots of steamy kisses that make your heart flutter! 🔥🫠

The secondary characters who form a friend squad with the Leads add to the story, not detract from it. With their presence comes drama, but that makes it more realistic. They made me laugh & they broke my heart (when you see the scene you’ll know EXACTLY what I’m referring to!). They believed that justice should always win & that nobody should be above the law. While they didn’t always get the results they wanted, they never gave up or quit trying to unveil the truth. I really liked the bond they formed & how they grew to be so loyal to one another.

A Coming-of-Age Drama w/out All the Drama!

At the innocent age of 16, a girl, ZaiZai, fell in love with a boy, RangRang, at first sight. Thus their story begins…

She’s a bubbly, upbeat, and positive girl; friendly & always smiling. She stands up for herself, never letting anyone look down on or abuse her. She’s confident, but not conceited; strong, but not arrogant. And her admiration for & support of the ML completely change his life.💗

He’s seen as cold & aloof due to his focus on his studies, but he’s actually very kind to those he allows to get close. He has very low self esteem because of being constantly compared to his genius younger brother & always coming up short in his parents’ eyes. But he opens up to his new friends & begins to laugh & enjoy life with them by his side. And the way he gravitates towards, falls for, & protects the FL is so swoon worthy. 🫠

This is one of my favorite youth dramas! I absolutely love it. It felt like I was just hearing stories from close friends, the cast’s chemistry was that natural. I love everything about it. The bromance, the sismance, & the core 5’s bond. The lack of love rival drama (the Leads were so good at not allowing any of that to fester!) That all the adults were NICE (except ML’s parents) - so rare! The love of the Leads & the ways they always protected each other & their relationship (ML’s remark regarding the college wannabe-rival girl’s photos of him = chef’s kiss!! ) They’re all very mature, loyal, & good.

Do yourself a favor & watch this sweet drama if you haven’t yet!

Just as Good as Season 1!!

** Review for seasons 1 & 2!! **

I know there are mixed reviews & feelings (as is the case with every drama ever made) but I personally enjoyed every minute of both seasons. The writers & cast did an amazing job drawing me in & making me feel so much with each scene.

The drama gives a beautiful glimpse into the lives of the doctors & their medical staff who sacrifice so much of themselves out of their genuine desire to help each patient.

The five main protagonists have the kind of bond that makes people think, “squad goals”. They don’t compete against one another, they aren’t jealous of each other’s accomplishments, nor do they ever allow one of their own to face hard stuff alone. They’re one another’s biggest fans & sources of comfort/support, always.

The love story of each squad member is wonderful as well. They’re not huge drama fests & I rooted for each couple the whole way. Some get together in the first season, others not until the end of the second season but that slow burn doesn’t at all detract from the chemistry. The romances aren’t the main focus, but rather a delightful bonus that I was totally there for.

The supporting cast is a pure delight as well. They’re all going through stuff & have their own histories & experiences they bring with them which adds to the story rather than detracting from it. From all the secondary medical staff to all the doctors’ families to the patients in each case - they each did a great job in their roles.

I also love that there are no evil villains or hospital takeover drama. No warring of the higher ups who value profit over life - no backstabbing or attacks to further personal agendas.

This is both heartwarming & hilarious - I swooned over the romance & friendships, while I also cracked up laughing so many times! Oh, & the doctor’s son is a total scene stealer & their father/son dynamic is absolutely precious!

PS - they have a band & we get to see them practice a ton, those scenes really help highlight the emotions of each episode. A great aspect to their group that adds so much to the show.

Enough of my ramblings. If you haven’t watched it yet, stop hesitating & push play (but watch season 1 first)!
