"Love isnt bad,  it's the people who are bad
When in love we are the purest in state" - Choi Soo Jin to Yeo Mi Ran

I was waiting for this drama since I saw the trailer. I love the pairing as I can relate to their age group. I love how Mi Ran tackles and interpret her self as a feminist. It's not too much and not lacking. Also I love how the series showed their perspective regarding with women having a lot of men to date with. It's shows how double standard our society is. When men do that, "they're just sowing the oats, and what to do? they're men, it's typical for them to engage eih several women" but if a woman did that, then they will be casts aside and be called names such as "promiscuous" or "wild women" when im fact, women also should have a choice and have a say with it as they're the one who's gonna spend the rest of their lives with a man. Remember you'll never know someone's true nature unless you learn to live with them in a house.

The series is matured, funny, romantic and quit realistic on my part. It's just saddening that 10 episodes are not enough as some parts were rush, maybe 12 or 14 episodes would be enough.

Anyway, I love the series and the casts! They did a very good job!

If its fated, then they will be back in each other's arms again.

"That day, you gave me a reason to live, and taught me the path I need to follow. My dream is to make you happy" - Harumichi to Yae (March 11, 2001)


What a poignant, full of reminiscing, full of firsts, pure, bittersweet and sweet first love. The song "First Love" by Utada Hikaru has been a part of my younger days, even now I age, it still gives me that haunting, sweet and will make me cry for a moment feel.

The casts gave a stellar performance, with Takeru Satoh as a given fact and as a huge fan, I enjoyed watching him wearing uniforms. It really suits him. Anyway, back to the casts, they were wonderful, especially the younger version of Harumichi and Yae. They showed how it is to be young and to be in love, how to tackle issues in life and how to deal with it.

Story may sound cliché, as well there's a lot of holes in it, but still, it was done properly. Cinematography is great, the OST is super nice: with Utada Hikaru's and the songs that Tsuzuru wrote were also great.

I also love, how they come in pairs, I mean whenever a couple or Yae and Tsuzuru appears on screen, they wore clothes/dress of the same color, especially the color blue, which is nice to look at.

I felt a lot of emotions while watching the entire 9 episodes, but it was totally worth it. I hope Takeru Satoh and Hikari Mitsushima work again.

How our actions affect other people

I binge watched the entire series; it was fast paced, superb acting, great story and heart wrenching back stories.

This drama showed the cause and effect of our actions. How it will affect other people, may it be physically or mentally. That no matter what you're experiencing (bad situations, bitterness in life), it is not correct, acceptable and good to bully or make other people suffer just because you're in pain or suffering.

That it is not cool and correct to bully other people just because you thought it was okay.

That if you have a choice, always choose to be good and be a better person. It will change life.

And that because you're not participating with the bullying, when you choose to be blind and not do something about it to prevent things to happen, doesn't mean you're not guilty.

I'm really upset with the actions of the people there, I wanted to shake and smack their faces. Jeez!

I'm you and you've become me

I loved it!!!!! Everything about this series is amazing! From the story (though it's a remake of a movie), characters, actors/actress, sceneries, lines, OST, and just plainly camaraderie of everyone involved in making this wonderful series.

Every episodes are relatable, not far-fetched, well-acted, deliveries of lines, character's development and side stories are all heart warming, tear-jerking, sweet, funny, frustrating and just simply what it's claiming, a healing series.

Actors/actress gave their best, delivered their lines, showed us how to react: whether to cry, smile, squel, laugh, get angry, frustrated and just simply enjoy the series. I'm always a fan of Shin Min Ah and Kim Seon-Ho, and was happy with this great pairing.

I will miss my "Shik-Hye" couple and everyone in Gongjin neighborhood. It's like I've become a member of the community and now I'm saying goodbye to them.

Also, I love the OST of this series. I've downloaded it already so I can listen to it whenever I want to.

Anyway, if you haven't watch it yet, you better start it now. Definitely worth the time and effort!

If it's meant to be, love will find a way. ❤

"Even the most beautiful face will have to age. You are the best in my mind. I can see the bones of beauty inside you" Shi Yi to Zhou Sheng Chen.

What a heart-warming, poignant, sweet, and tear-jerking story. A slow-burn, frustrating, and quite dragging at times, but still at the end of it, we still got our happy ending for our Shi Yi and Zhou Sheng Chen, which they really deserved.

I've been waiting for this drama to be aired as I am a fan of the novel from Mo Bao Fei Bao and fell in love with Zhou Sheng Chen's quirkiness, at times oddness and just being so adorable and him being a nerd. As well as Shi Yi's love for ZSC and how she supported him all throughout.

I just find it frustrating to watched the other actors/actress in this drama, (not included from my frustration are: the main couple, Uncle Lin, Ren, the misunderstood mother, the bff lawyer and roommate/bff of Shi Yi); I find their acting lacking and unconvincing. Specially the brother, his acting is so unconvincing and kind of lazy for someone who got pent up hatred, frustration for his elder brother. Also, some scenes for the other characters are unnecessary, which made the series dragging. Maybe they want to show their character development but ended poorly.

And I just want to rant here about the behavior of Shi Yi and Zhou Sheng Chen's maid, maybe because she's a distant relative of ZSC, but she's over the top! She doesn't know her boundary and just "boom" comes to their room without knocking, or correct word is "barging" to their room, which I find disrespectful and offensive. But the series just made it like it's just goofy or funny. I wanted to smack her head, as she always caught our couple in a very awkward situation or disrupt their sweet moments.

Anyway, thanks for Bai Lu and Allen Ren for giving us a wonderful series.

And by the way, I just want to say, I love and appreciate the OST of this series. It helps the viewers sets the mood and it's just worth of listening to it.

Over all, it is worth the time to watch the drama. ❤❤❤

One of the best, simply the best!

This is one of my go-to movies, whenever I feel stress, bored or just simply want to re-watch it, simply because I've been missing Won Bin. I really enjoyed watching action, suspense-thriller and just a good story movies, it's just a bonus if I really love the actor playing the role on a movie.

This movie is purely intense, gore, full of action, never a dull moment and will keep you on edge. Everything is fast phase and makes sense. No wasted screen time, good dialogues and just simply a perfection for me.

If you cannot bear watching movies with a lot of blood or violence, stay away from this movie, if it's good with you, go and enjoy this masterpiece. Watch Won Bin, to be fascinated with his take on his character as well as reminisce young Kim Sae Ron.

Great pairing! Sandra Ma and Bai Jing Ting did a wonderful job!

I love them!!!! Though upon reading the gist of the story, you'll think it's another DOTS but you're wrong, cause it has a different attack of the story. The only common thing is that, she's a doctor and he's from the military/police department but that's all. I love how they gave life to their characters. How Sandra Ma and Bai Jing Ting gave played their roles perfectly and how good their chemistry was on screen. 40 episodes fly too fast for me.

I just find the 2nd lead couple frustrating at times, their love story is tooo tedious, a lot of issues. I was too stress for them, I felt that at times, I wish it was more of Dr. Mi Ka and Xing Ke Lei's on screen moments than them. But anyways, they complete the series, that's why I still watched them.

New fan of Evan Lin here!

I wanted to give it a perfect ten, but I am not happy with how the story went with Wu Yan's bestfriend, and how it left me feeling "meh". As well as how they've dealt with Wu Yan's mental health situation. It was left hanging, and will make you think, what will happen next. But upon searching, that's how it is as well in the novel, so they just follow through the original story.

I just find Wu Yan's character frustrating at times, how she quickly gets upset and ran away from the problems, maybe she's still young and at times fickle minded, but still, I just wanted to shake her to wake her up.

Sorry, but I just can't take the presence of the 2nd couple! Too frustrating to watch for me. Their acting is too bland! So I had no choice but to skip them. I feel like, instead of giving them screen time, they should've focus more on other main issues on this drama.

Anyway, I love how their chemistry reflected on screen, it's flying with high colors! I enjoyed and love Nian Qin's tantrums and young master's attitude. Also, he is bordering on being obsessive and a stalker. I know it's wrong; it was so adorable, maybe some will find it offensive, but I just love Nian Qin here.

Also, kudos to Evan Lin's portrayal of being a blind man, it was convincing! I also enjoyed and loved listening to the OST of the series. It helps sets the mood as well as convinced me that Yi Jin is indeed a gifted song writer.

Worth the time to watch!

I really love series with substance, like not just about love story or plainly because the ML is handsome or cool. Also, aside from rom-com, I really love and enjoy watching suspense-thriller, mystery and action. This drama is more on the mystery and coolness side, what's with Chu Chu as your unconventional female Coroner. I really love her character as well as Prince An and the support characters, they really did a very good job with acting. Even the chief Eunuch is good with his role that you wanted to slay him personally. Anyway, the phasing of the story is fast phase, so you'll not notice, you're almost finished.

If you enjoy watching e-sports series, watch this!

I love love Qiu Ying's character, as she has the character growth in the entire series. At first, just like what other reviews said here, you'll find her annoying, but then, she redeemed her self and grew into a beautiful swan. She worked hard for her dreams to be achieved, she didn't allow her self be a burden to other people and she is sooo pretty. I find a lot of heart warming scenes here, made me cry with them as it touched my heart deeply. Especially when Bro. Sun returned to the gaming world. I also love Ji Xiang Kong's character, his passion and never giving up attitude, but I find him frustrating with the love triangle situation. At times, he is undecided and made Qiu Ying hurt.

I love Yiyi, Qiu Ying's bestfriend, she is a real friend, she'll support you all through out, but then, scold you if needed. Defend and protect you in her own way. Really a blessing to have a friend like her.

I also love Pei Xi's character, such a fan boy! Also, he developed into a good friend. Also, I enjoy the friendship involved and developed in the series.

I am quite upset with the villains but what really upsets me is Mia's character! Jeez!!! I really hate her guts, she doesn't know when to give up, I mean truly give up. She gave her "blessing" easily but then she didn't really mean it. Anyway, I enjoyed watching it, I just wish, there's more time for our main couple to spend time together.

Absolutely, one of the best drama of year 2024!

"Listen carefully, Jeong Jian" - Jeong Jinman

What a ride! From start to finished, everything is full of suspense, edgy, brutality, beautifully done bloody scenes , well executed fight scenes, delivery of lines and spectacular acting.

Jian is kind of frustrating when she became an adult, compared to her younger self who's more sure of what she wanted to do with her life. I love their uncle/niece chemistry as it was not full of warmth/touchy moments or scenes, but you know that Uncle loves her in his own special way.

Fight scenes were perfectly executed, and you know they gave their 200% efforts in doing it. As what you can see with the end products, as well as if you saw the BTS videos, that they both injured their selves as they're doing their own stunts.

The story is written beautifully, and the scenes were all properly done and well-acted. I wanted season 2 and I am hoping for it as there's a lot of unfinished issues and I wanted more of Jeong Jinman and Jeong Jian scenes, as well as Unnie Minhye, brother and Master Pasin.

Overall, it is worth of time and effort watching it. Uncle Jinman is full of hotness, specially when he was still the captain of the mercenary group.

If only my tears can turned into real pearls after finishing this drama, I'll be loaded!

Fang Jian Ming to Fang Hai Shi: "Sorry to not have found you earlier."


Aside that this drama  is far from being real and realistic, with all the mermaid thingy, some witchcraft/black magic practices, and beyond it's ridiculousness, far-fetched logic and too many loop holes. For me, it is still one of the best beautifully written drama which will be on my favourite dramas list.

I was too apprehensive to start watching this drama as I am afraid of BE as it will takes a toll on my mental health, so I always opted for HE. But, the trailer is sooo  beautifully convincing and tempting plus Willian Chan is soooo handsome! So I braved and tested the waters and here I am, after several weeks invested in the show, left in a puddle of tears.

The drama, for me is beautifully made, written and well-acted. With all the breath-taking scenes, the CG/effects are all convincing and well-made. The actors portrayed their roles well and it is just remarkable and unforgettable story for me.

Their fight scenes are all nicely executed and you'll feel and see the actors/actress hard work in order to perform those scenes and to convinced us that they're really into their roles.

I just love the scenes in Jifeng Pavilion, especially when the tree is always shown in the scene, it is so breathtaking, even though it's just computer graphics, still it always amaze me to watch it.

Also, the OST of this drama is beautifully written and are all giving you all the feels you need in each scenes. My most favourite song is the ending song, which I always play on loop every night.

I know some people has complained of how toxic FJM and HS's relationship with each other, but for me it is justified and will always have room for understanding Shifu's selfish actions and decisions. I appreciate and loves all the interactions between Jian Ming and Hai Shi, may it be short, long, small or big moments. They are all too precious for me.

I have favourite characters, especially FJM, HS and  Zhuo Ying. I love the sibling relationship between ZY and HS, ZY reminded me of my dead older brother. He is sweet, protective, supportive, loves to bully his younger siblings and will nag you to death if he knew you're doing something wrong.

I also love Mu De Qing and Shao Zi.

Emperor and Tilan's relationship is complex and I just hope for them to be happy with each other, but still...

The ending is expected, but I was still hoping for a happy ending, as I believe our Shifu and Hai Shi deserve to live a peaceful, happy and safe life.

But then, it was asking too much for that, as the theme of the drama is melodrama if not tragic ending.

So the ending is justifiable, and the writer left it as an open-ended. It is for our own imagination, what happens between Shifu and Hai Shi, if they live happy ending but in secret or just live separately and mind their own lives.

The price of revenge is becoming a monster

I loved it! Though story is predictable and a cliché, still I enjoyed binging the entire series! I am always fascinated with Mafia/Gang/Yakuza/Underworld stories, I can't explain it. Maybe despite and in spite of the dirty world: including drugs, crime, violence and death involved with it, still I loved and enjoyed anything that has a touch of it.

Anyway, I love Han So Hee here! What a revelation! From a sweet and demure characters to this one badass, revenge driven lady she became here. Kudos to everyone involved in the mini-series, they all did a wonderful job! I also enjoyed watching Ahn Bo-hyun here, maybe he's too convincing as an asshole from Itaewon Class that I don't like watching his works anymore, ?? but I love him here. And will watch his other works again.

The action scenes kept me on edge, and was rooting for Ji Woo to finally catch the person who killed his Dad.

Just a precaution, if you don't like violence, and also, it has substance abuse here, stay away from the series. But if you're okay with it, go watch it! Definitely worth your time!

If you haven't watched this series, what are you waiting for?

This is one of my feel-good series, will never get tired watching and revisiting my beloved characters, Tae Kyung and Go Mi Nam and the rest of A.N JELL. I've watched this ever since it was showed, which was year 2009! (My Gosh! I'm an a certified auntie of watching Korean dramas, LOL!) I am a huge fan of JGS and been waiting for a long time for him to have a drama wherein he will be the main lead and alas, HONG sisters fulfilled my wish come true.

The story is one of my interest, the gender-bender theme, plus my main guy, JGS and my favorite HONG sisters, so I really followed through with this drama.

Everything is HILARIOUS and interesting in this drama, from the story, OST, characters and my favorite DWEJITOKI stuff toy.

This is a not complicated drama, and you'll just simply enjoy watching them. So if you are still hesitating watching this, please, try watching it and enjoy it.
