A unique and fun Drama with strong female characters

Okay not gonna lie, I am lowkey shook at all the bad reviews this drama got ?
I really enjoyed watching this! I thought it was funny, exciting and relatable to some point. It was refreshing seeing a drama like this where the focus is not the love relationship and the female lead is not a weak beautiful woman who always has to be saved by the male lead. In this case it was actually the opposite most of the time and I thought it was HILARIOUS how she was always carrying him. I laughed a lot and I seriously don’t get the hate.
If you came for some serious plot with characters looking and acting all mature then yes this drama is not it. But I think you can already sense the kind of humor this drama has from just the cover photo. It is made in a comic style and ofc all the characters act super exaggerated over the top. I guess because I am also kind of an exaggerated person myself, I loved watching this drama.
I loved how the connection and strength between the females in one family was portrayed.
Then the whole plot with the drug cartel going on and the evil guy WAS AMAZING too! He was the perfect villain.
All in all I can totally recommend this if you are looking for something unique.

It could be a hit if they focused to Main Lead..

It is good that I watched before reading all reviews and comments here. Obviously most of them liked Baek In Ho. I don't see any special about him. Most of his scenes were just playing piano, practicing piece in piano and trying hard to make himself better than ML.. He has more air times than Yoo Jung which makes it boring, I have skipped all scenes of Baek In Ho. Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun are great actors. They portrayed their roles very well. This could be a hit if PD did not make dramas and reverting the story to Baek In Ho, and until now I don't understand why she let them aired. Many episodes were wasted and many important parts from Webtoom were omitted. But overall, I love this series. Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun are both very effective and they managed to show to viewers their characters.

WTFFH? (what the flying flipping heck?)

Some words come to me when watching this 1: WTF 2: awww 3: YYYYY? 4: FINALLY!!!! This show made me laugh way to much, it hurt my brain to figure out why and how they thought of it, (still not sure why) it is not bad not good but not bad. If you are looking to pass some time and have a laugh it is not a bad choice but make sure you have no expectations of what will happen because once you think it can't get weirder it does ^_^ OxO

Watching for the lead I like them and funny scenes along with their bff

I think I'm watching this for the leads. I was hesistant to watch at first because of the comments about romance, current gf, almost no kiss, etc pero maganda nmn pala light hearted lng.
- Ang eye candy ng mga leads
- Ang ganda ng chemistry nila, sweet, caring, kaso medyo sayang kase not that romance, I was hoping na more scene sa kanila after maging sila at may kiss.
-I want more for the couple to have scene as a couple or kahit sa ending.
- Nailalabas ni Dae Hyun kung ano siya at comfortable sya kay Saet Byul kesa kay Yeon joo na current gf nya. Di nya nasasabi mga nangyayari sa kanya sa current gf nya. Tapos pag may gusto sya gawin or sabihin, binabara at di sya pinapatapos magsalita ni Yeon joo.
- Cheater nmn pala at hindi honest c Yeon Joo kay Dae Hyun dapat maaga sila nagbreak like ep5-7 kaso pinahaba pa huhu.
- Lol Dal shik at Geum Bi haha sila second couple at nakakatawa sila
- Mag 30yrs old pa nmn pala c Dae Hyun at 22 na c Saet Byul kala ko alaki ng age gap gaya ng reklamo ng iba hehe
-Overall it's HP and it's fun.

This movie was quite simply one of the biggest mindf**ks I've ever witnessed.

I couldn't think of anything bad with this one. It's true. perfect from start to end. It's a dark end but it's perfect.

Two brothers start living in a new house, in a completely new neighborhood with their parents and the movie begins with the young brother Jin Seok played by Kang Ha neul, talking about their family, especially his hyung Yoo Seok (played by Kim Mu-yeol) who happens to be the kind of person who never smokes, never drinks, and is all around intelligent, kind, and friendly despite getting into a serious accident and gaining a limp in his leg.

We see how truly enamored Jin Seok is with his family and most of all his hyung who he treats like a god. We also see that Jin Seok not only suffers from terrible nightmares but also takes anxiety medication. It is unclear why he needs it, that part is not explained.

There's a room in their new home which the previous owner had instructed them not to use so the brothers have to sleep in the same room. When Jin Seok questions his father about the room his father explains that the owner left clear instructions: never to go inside that room or touch anything in it.

That night, Jin Seok hears noises coming from the room but no one else in the house seems to hear anything so Jin Seok attributes it to the thunderstorm.

But the room and strange occurances still continue to haunt Jin Seok.

When Yoo Seok sees his brother is still feeling a bit anxious, he takes him outside in the rain for fresh air hoping it would make him feel better. The brothers both take in their new surroundings. It's obvious how much they love each other. How protective they are of each other, enjoying junk food together and constantly teasing. They don't even mind sharing the room so much.

When his hyung gets a call from his father, on his phone to bring him a document that he needs to study, Yoo Seok tells his younger brother to wait for him and he will be right back.

But before Yoo Seok has even returned to his house, some men beat him up and push him inside a black van while Jin Seok tries madly to go after them and manages to memorize the license plate number of the van before he collapses.

When he wakes up, there's no news of his brother still, no one can find him. They wait and wait for the kidnappers to call and demand ransom but nothing happens for ten days.

On the tenth day, Yoo Seok walks inside his home, looking unharmed but he can't seem to remember anything about what went on during those ten days. Everyone assumes it's some kind of amnesia brought about by whatever might have happened while he was gone .

The family is happy to have the son back, they start getting back into their daily routine.

But the more Jin Seok hangs around his hyung, the more he realizes his brother is acting strange. Almost like a different person. At first, Jin Seok shrugs it off as his imagination but things start to get stranger still and many times he wakes up in the middle of the night to find Yoo Seok gone and nowhere to be found.

When he confronts Yoo Seok, Yoo Seok denies it completely and Jin Seok believes him.

Until one night, he follows Yoo Seok.

Honestly, Haneul is the perfect casting for this role because he has this innate innocence that this character carries and his acting from start to finish was just amazing. Best mind games movie I've seen in a very long time.

О, да, я досмотрела очередного монстра дорамопрома. Причем монстра знатного, известного и уже много раз пародируемого в разных комедийных сериалах. Начала я его смотреть почти год назад и терпеливо ждала субтитры – дело того стоило.
История о тяжелой жизни чоболей – богатеев Кореи, как деньги правят миром и развращает власть. Как убивает любовь и воскрешает ненависть. В общем, к делу подошли очень глобально.
История длится почти три поколения. Две сестры в маленьком приморском городке мечтают о счастье: только для одной это богатый муж, а для другой счастливая семья. Отец девушек держит мизерный магазинчик, пьет и тяжел на руку, мать умерла. А еще у отца есть друг, за которого он когда- то сел в тюрьму и который обязан ему не только благополучием, но и богатством. К чести сказать, новоявленный чоболь не забыл этого и обещал выдать своего младшего сына за одну из сестер. За старшую. Но младшая не лыком шита и она проворачивает жесткую, и даже жестокую аферу, чтобы перехватить такого выгодного мужа. В итоге, отец мертв, сестра в позоре, а младшенькая в шоколаде.
Дальше еще лучше: появляются внебрачные и потерянные дети, брошенные любовницы и борьба за кресло председателя корпорации. И так все 50 серий, как на качелях. В конце концов, никого не было жалко. Даже изначально «хорошие» персонажи в конце концов, показывали целый спектр гнилых качеств – от нерешительности, до зависти и злобы. В итоге, тяжелая и тягучая история ничем не кончилась, что в принципе слишком похоже на жизнь. Все несчастливы по разному, только богачи еще и с роскошью.

After Sweet Dreams, I haven't been diving into the immensity of Chinese drama for a while. With their numerous episodes, they always manage to make me fall in love.
Meteor Garden is a story that does not leave you alone for a second, when you think that the situation calms down a bit, here is the unexpected that messes up all plans.
A turmoil of emotions that leads you to love it!
The protagonist, Dong Shan Cai, is a girl who knows what it means to earn what she has, has always done more part-time jobs and never backs down. He has dreams, and one of them is to go to one of the best universities there is.
And it is here hat those who believe will be quiet years devoted to study, will become the most beautiful, ugly, absurd years (and whoever has more will put more). Blame? Of the F4.
Who I am? We can sum it all up by saying that they are not only the 4 most beautiful students of the University, but also the most intelligent. They seem unapproachable, although courteous to their fans.
At least until their path and Shan Cai's cross. Dao Ming Si, the leader among the 4, accidentally pounds the girl's cell phone and from there, between the two, there are sparks ... of hatred!
Usually He got used to being feared, imagine what happens when this apparently weak girl is in front of him, who makes the deck and does not lower his head even under torture.
Meteor Garden has Si and Shan Cai as its center, but there are many other characters who find their place, like the other members of F4 (my favorites? She and Ximen). Friendship, which has enormous power, and for which one is willing to sacrifice oneself.
But we also see a less beautiful part, that of arranged marriages, organized by economic interest. And perhaps love is not enough to prevent certain things.
In this drama, the trials of love will be really many, difficult to keep your nerves and resist, especially when the mother of Si moves the threads. A woman in one piece, an impenetrable block of marble that leaves you upset.
I found Shan Cai's character too extreme sometimes, but in the end it's impossible not to suffer with her!
The only flaw (even this time) is the ending! I still haven't found the words to define it! Absurd is really an understatement. A drama of 10, ruined with two episodes of which I have not really understood the dynamics.
If any of you have an explanation, please enlighten me. The more I try to order ideas, the less I understand each other.
In summary, however, this is a drama that must absolutely be seen !! You can't really miss it !!

diclaimer: i'm in love with brightwin and gotta say the playlist of this series was a bop. but this review is my personal review. first i wanna talk about the acting, i undestand that it wasn't a hard series, i mean no drama at all. and i also understand that my bb win was a first timer when he got into gmm and accepted 2gether. as for bright he has been in the industry for quite long but it was his first main role. they were new so it's understandable if they have lack lots of things. admit it or not 2gether gained its popularity for the actor's visual. the plot wasn't that great nor unique. another typical cold male lead, tho i understand it's the way it's written in the novel. so gotta move on with the couple. they got good chemistry, they were indeed cute and they always made me smile but towards the end i know everyone was like "wth? that's all?" i mean i don't see it as a bl, it's like a bromance that's just more romantic than a real bromance. sometimes i forgot that they were dating, they lack so much as a couple. i'm not saying they should give as a fiery kiss but at least make them look like they're a couple. they also don't have much character development and the scene where wat hugged (sorry i forgot gg's character but yeah that girl) and tine saw it, they could have take their time for showing how tine handled the pain it caused to make it effective, sad to say but they just filmed tine running off while crying and the next scene was already different. regarding the other couple, mantype, i also like them (as seen in still 2gether) their couple was more mature and ideal. nevertheless i love the series and the cast.

This drama needs to be rewritten again
Ep 01,13,14,15 were real mess

The events were disarranged
I got confused many times
Lots and lots of names in side stories
Which made me forgot who is who
The director didn't give the watcher any hints when he jumps from universe to another and from time to time which exhausted me a lot
And that shouldn't happen in a drama I should enjoy

Time traveling was a chaos
Many flaws and illogical events
And the last episode they focused more on the main leads traveling across the parallel universes forgetting all the side stories
They didn't give the side stories a proper space in the last episode


Although both main leads were brilliant in their acting but I didn't feel chemistry at all between them
They just didn't fit together
Although the plot was ok and the story was solid away from time traveling mess and the romance was good but I didn't feel it at all

Something was missing which avoids me enjoying this drama
But I really enjoyed the ost and the background music so much
Which is rare when I feel the music fits the drama well

I laughed a lot when shin jae told Tae eul
That every time gangsters thought hang Michael one of them and when they try to escape they took him with them LOOOOOOL

The only character I disliked a lot was the prime minister

In my opinion
I really enjoyed romance and friendships in this drama
But at the same time didn't recommend it

One of the best in 2021

I loved it. I really liked the chemistry between both actors and the entire cast did a great job. I was abit hesitant with the first two eps but since it has such a great opening sequence, i continued and things only got better and better each coming episode. The only thing that didn't let me give it a 10/10 was that it needed a couple more episodes to have proper closure for all the characters but it was overall one of the best kdramas this year and great action, thriller and romance combo. I'm def going to rewatch it as well

SPOILER
Some things were left unanswered, mostly about the whole infection) in my opinion but if you're not too nitpicky, you're going to enjoy it for what it is.

Somewhat likable, but not a strong BL offering

To be really honest, this BL series isn't great. But it is still a couple of notches above some of the most uninteresting series in the same genre.

The story isn't at all original: gay man falls for a straight man who will somehow reciprocate. But even generic stuff, if properly executed, can still be rather good. Unfortunately the writing in this series is rather weak. The climax and denouement are rather disappointing and illogical. Chonlatee's reaction to Tonhon being provoked into kissing his ex-girlfriend seems like an overreaction that is out of character. The twists in the final episode, like the revelation of when Tonhon starts falling in love with Chonlatee, are also rather unconvincing. The theme song is actually rather nice, but the use of sound effects and music during the episodes is a tad repetitive. The same music is played when the scene is supposed to be tense regardless of the level of tension. This doesn't help with the story-telling.

The characters also often change according to the requirements of the plot or exist simply to advance the plot in a somewhat clumsy way. The best example is Tonhon's father who suddenly switches from a rather bigoted homophobe to someone who can actually accept that his son is in a gay relationship as long as he has an heir. (The solution to the heir problem isn't ingenious and could have been offered years ago.) Another character, Amp, exists solely to be the typical awful woman in BLs whereas Miriam is the complimentary fujoshi. Na changes from an annoying narcissist to a rather sweet guy when the story requires it.

On the other hand, there are some likable aspects of the series. Chonlatee's mother is a delight to watch throughout, and I wish there were more of her besides Ton and Chon. Ai and Ni totally outshine the main couple--their characterization lacks depth, but the actors pull of their roles in a really endearing way.

One controversial thing in this series is the portrayal of Tonhon's father (and Tonhon himself to some extent). Yet, it could also turn out to be the series' (possibly unintended) redeeming quality. Tonhon and his father are guilty of quite a bit of bigoted behavior, but they are basically not blamed much for it. I have seen comments on YouTube pointing out how the terrible behavior gets glossed over. On the other hand, I find that there is something realistic about the whole thing. It is unfortunate, but gay people do struggle with their identity because some homophobes are actually people they care about.

Often enough, a gay person may discover that his friend or family member is homophobic. Does this discovery decisively end the friendship or family ties? A gay person may love his parents for so many reasons, but this love won't simply be erased just because they are homophobic. I think this is what Ai and Ni go through as they hide their sexual orientation from Tonhon, their best friend. They do not like his homophobia one bit, but, as they point out, they value him as a friend for his other qualities.

This series is by no means a must-watch for BL fans. But if you want something fairly light-hearted and easy to follow, it isn't as terrible as some have made it out to be.
