1. The Director Who Buys me Dinner
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
01/12
ending : XD wouldn't call it an ending, some will see it as a beautiful one that shows the character development, and then there's me saying it's a dumb-ass ending that needs a continuation or else it's a cliffhanger :') they're not even together, and the feeling is currently freaking one-sided, what a way to end a drama
what i liked :
- the first episodes until the actual romance part started XD kidding, actually the drama was overall very good until the last episode ;) but the comedy in the first few eps was gold
- dongbaek kissing yudam first :)
what i disliked :
- kind of the lack of feelings, i'm not saying there was no chemistry cuz there was (especially ep7-8) but something was missing for me idk;
- Denis (not as a character but an undevelopped and unexplained story - i mean, this little bish killed Dongbaek in their previous life and now he's trying to separate him and Yudam? something's fishy);
- not enough runtime, like how exactly do you want to make a good reincarnation drama with merely 150 minutes
notes : someone wrote a review and titled it "half-baked don't eat" and it perfectly sums everything up
-
2. Original Sin
Korean Movie - 2022
01/17
ending: hmm idk it was confusing, like metaphorical? idk
what i liked:
- that freaking kiss was one of the best kisses i've seen in a kbl, thank you very much
- the setting was actually pretty cool
- their chemistry was actually chemistrying XD
- hyunjun
what i disliked:
- uh, not gay enough XD
- but for real, i wish it was longer and had better storytelling
notes: didn't feel like a waste of time
-
3. Half
Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode
01/19
ending: cliffhanger, happy in the follow-up MV
what i liked:
- EarthMix XD
- the "happy birthday" scene
what i disliked:
- that it's just a promo short movie to get more people to watch the MV so it was too short and you had to open the MV to get your happy ending XD perfect marketing strategy tho
- the kiss XD
notes: the setting was kinda cute, tho 7 years seems like a bit too much to just reconcile like that XD i dunno
no rating because i'm conflicted XD
-
4. My Tooth Your Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
01/26
ending: happy
what i liked :
- the acting and chemistry between both main couples + the characters' relations with their friends, felt very warm and cozy (XunAn with Bai Lang's sister >>>>>>>>>>>>> )
- Bai Lang's trauma, the way it was portrayed and the way Xun An wanted to embrace it
- have i said chemistry yet? XD
- loved the humor and how hyper and dramatic Bai Lang was XD
- XUN AN'S FOREARMS RESTING ON BAI LANG'S SHOULDERS WITH HIS HANDS LOCKED ON HIS NECK >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
- so sweet it's giving diabetes (ironic for a dentist)
what i disliked:
- not enough screentime for Alex and RJ
- the ending felt very rush, almost like it lacked proper closure, it just ends outta nowhere when they're dancing XD
notes: i needed a scene in the last episode with Xun An taking off his shirt and Bai Lang seeing all the bruises :))) like they did in Be Loved In House :DD would he feel guilty? hell yeah, but i feel a bit bitter about them just skipping the fact entirely
-
5. Cutie Pie: Special Episode
Thai Special - 2023, 4 episodes
01/27
ending: happy
what i liked:
- NuerSin carried the show with their crumbs of the scenes and part 3 of ep3, thank you for coming to my TedTalk
- that one MaxZee scene, the directors know their target audience ;)
what i disliked:
- Kuea cockblocking Lian all the damn time, saving "it" 'uNtiL mArRiaGe' as if they haven't done the deed already
- their "i'm fine with whatever you choose" during the decision-making
- that shit-show of a wedding itself lol
- after the first ep it just got boring as shit, plot-wise, it had its moments but when you look back at it it was bland again XD
- product placement in slow motion XD i know it's nit-picking, I'm fine with product placement in general if it's done with taste, and adding slow-mo over it is a no-no
notes: this got me excited at first cuz of the "i wanna be a singer" kinda-plot they introduced in the first ep, but then they seemed to forget about it and then it just randomly came back at the end of the last ep already developed, making the entire thing a plotless shit show all over again like Cutie Pie itself was :)
-
6. Between Us
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
01/29
ending: happy
what i liked:
- P'Pruek :')
- TulWaan ;) like their story was actually interesting
- the first 3-4 episodes because the feelings were SPICY hehehe
- Boun's hair down
what i disliked:
- too. many. couples *frustrated noises*
- can they please stop going back and forth lol WinTeam literally made me more interested in DeanPharm who i was so bored with while watching UWMA
- bland af like what even was the plot, it was their mental struggle that they failed to show
notes: this just didn't work well as a drama, it was impossible to convey their feelings and thoughts properly because of the video-focused format XD
-
7. Our First Time
Thai Movie - 2023
01/29
ending: XD well no one dies, they're alive and happy, lowkey a cliffhanger? no clue actually
what i liked:
- awkward acting that made sense, that was actually a very accurate portrayal of two shy guys interacting, especially since one is a fan of the other, very nice
what i disliked: *deep sigh*
- the script XD
- the run-time xD i mean, i get they're supposed to be awkward, awkward conversations do go like that often but please, this movie would be half as long if they removed all the exaggeratedly long pauses
- Suk-Yod had been THINKING and the thoughts have been thought XD jesus christ, there was so much decision-making and hesitating and contemplating on his part but none was actually voiced in any way, they once again just wasted time having him silently think while nodding to himself XD lol
- lowkey a queerbait, except for that one imaginary scene that's also not very queer XD
notes:
- okay so this production definitely has potential, i mean the quality was just too god for such a weak script, they really went off with the camera quality with this one, it looked very pretty and professional
- the bts footage was more entertaining than the actual movie XD
- no idea how old those guys are, i think i'd rather not know XD Klong so damn skinny tho
- it needs a drama adaptation actually
no rating because i have no idea XD the quality was great, it was done very well, technical-wise XD content-wise on the other hand? not so good XD
-
8. My DNA Says I Love You
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
01/30
ending: happy
what i liked:
- Amber, his entire character and that one coming out scene that made me cry, his concern about not being accepted and prefering to hide the truth, that hurt
- the height difference was absolutely adorable, the perfect height dif
- the tale going on in the background
what i disliked:
- they forgot about the tale for half of the series when they turned into a cooking show XD
- their crying without tears
-
9. The New Employee
Korean Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
02/01
ending: happy
what i liked:
- they CUTE AF
- they TALK JSDHCHJDSBVJHDFJ COMMUNICATION YES
- mutual understanding and respect PLEASE YESSSSS
- they are so freaking adorable i wanna cry
- fast paced
- no stupid drama
what i disliked:
- too damn SHORT, and even shortened from 8 to 7 episodes out of nowhere T-T
- well, some plot holes XD TOO fast paced at times
- rip to the ex, wish he could be more apparent
notes: GIVE ME MORE
-
10. GAP
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
02/16
happy ending
what i liked:
- the kisses were great
- Tee and Cher my ghost ship that never interacted with e/o but god i'd kill to have Noey and Lux as a couple in those characters
- we appreciate the fact that we're actually getting full-length GLs
what i disliked:
- the misunderstanding with Kirk was so damn stupid
- too long, really could've been done in a more condensed version imo
notes: watched it on 2x speed while watching something else simultaneously and i don't think i missed out on a lot lol the pursuing stage was as always the most exciting part and then the drama got stupidly messy once they went official, and then everything got resolved even more stupidly easily
-
11. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
02/28
ending: happy
what i liked:
- saw the greenish tint and died
- my PerthMon crumbs made me so damn happy
- the dialogues were actually pretty damn cool sometimes
- Pond hot af
- Phuwin's English hot af
- reminded me of a lot of other crime dramas that i loved, especially the first few eps
- Perth's shoes, Pond's shirts
what i disliked:
- I'm starting to think it's not Pond's characters that are kinda lacking in emotional portrayal but Pond himself XD
- felt like something was missing
- when they went to the island the plot kinda slowed down too much
- uh, the stupid-ass break-up, would make sense if they broke up earlier, not after everything got solved XD actually no, the break-up just doesn't make sense at all XD
-
12. Utsukushii Kare Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
02/28
ending: happy
what i liked:
- Kiyoi embracing Hira's personality and adapting to it
- that kiss took me by surprise hehehehe
- them living together
- Kiyoi being Hira's common sense and emotional support
- Hira's relatable narrative
- they're my precious chaotic couple
- that photographer guy and the way he handled Hira
- Kiyoi
- Hira
what i disliked:
- definitely too short T-T
-
13. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/02
ending: happy
what i liked:
- HEART & LI MING *starts crying violently*
- the way this drama ended up being so much different from what i was expecting after i saw the teasers (i mean, instead of a heartbreak cheating drama we got a healing one instead? hell yeah)
- Heart's mom character development
- the pacing
- the healing
- the pinning !!! (i'm sorry but Mix being so h0rny for Earth was so pleasing to watch XD)
- the diversity of characters (despite the quite small number of characters, each got their very own problems and very own stories that despite the short format they managed to tell)
what i disliked:
- i don't read sign language (aka why the hell didn't GMM put subs for us ignoramuses)
- as long as i'm all for FirstKhao, that was unnecessary XD i mean, it was so random you can literally feel it was forced just so they can gather the FirstKhao audience XD
notes: i'm personally still a great fan of ATOTS, but THIS is THE EarthMix drama
why not a 10 then? i have no fucking idea XD maybe after a while i'll change it to a 10, maybe i'll binge the entire show and then it'll click -
14. Individual Circumstances
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/06
ending : happy
what i liked :
- hmm.. bits of it reminded me of some of my favorite dramas XD
- the way they cleared their misunderstanding
- the manager guy was damn pretty :)
what i disliked :
- the more you think about it the more ridiculous it gets
- weak chemistry makes it feel like a queerbait XD
- it lacked the kick, like it's such a bland drama wow
- the kisses XD i really don't mind lip-pressing kisses as long as they don't last for fucking centuries XD like,
peck on the lips? - yes;
press your lips together for 5 minutes with not a single motion? - absolutely not XD - XD what was this intro XD i mean, the font they used didn't fit the series so fucking much XD and it bothered me unnecessarily much XD
notes : i felt empty inside before watching, felt exactly the same after XD changed nothing, almost as if i haven't watched it lmao it just was there and then it wasn't XD we move on, bye
-
15. Ameiro Paradox
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
03/12
ending: happy
what i liked:
- the characters - i liked both the main leads but as always my heart goes to the cold-on-the-surface-warm-on-the-inside Kaguragi hdsbcjdsjhbdhsdb
- the whispering - loved the gentle tone Kagu was using with Onoe istg whenever he whispered i was dying in the corner
- THE HUGS JXVBFHDBFH please don't make me pick my favorite hug cuz i'd rather k!ll myself than choose
- the misunderstanding - call me a weirdo but i surprisingly liked the way they handled the misunderstanding, like i don't freaking know why XDDDDD
- THE LAST KISS JHDBCJSHBDVHJDBFJ
- the overall feel of the last scene, their confessions and the lighting and Kagu's whispering and wiping off Onoe's tears and that hug and everything ajsbcsjdhbvjdfh
what i disliked:
- low-key stiff and awkward - not saying there was 0 chemistry but it was lacking the spark
- too short :')
notes: i don't get why it has so many hate comments, i mean it's not anything mindblowing but it looks like a lot of people were expecting it to blow their minds XD idk it's an average cute Japanese BL that you can binge in one go when you're bored XD
lowkey wished Yamanaka had his natural hair, it felt weirdly heavy here, almost like a wig XD
-
16. Liquor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/25
ending: happy
what i liked:
- JUNHYUNG'S ACTING SHDVSDBKSNDKJVBFDJBVH absolutely carried the show
- even tho the kisses were just those lip-pressing ones, they felt just right jhsbdcjsbd like AAAAAAAA
- the teetotaller and alcoholic pairing was a pretty cool concept
what i disliked:
- i had to pretend i didn't notice the mic on dohyun
notes:
- funnily enough I was thinking that the chemistry is not chemistrying until that cheek kiss, like something just freaking switched in that moment jsdchjdbvjhdf
- contrary to many, i wasn't bored at all with this one, definitely saw worse than that
- I'VE DEFINITELY SEEN HOGYUN SOMEWHERE BEFORE, SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN ME BEFORE I LOSE MY FUCKING MIND
-
17. Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/28
ending : uh.. a happy cliffhanger? i guess
what i liked :
- acting
- chemistry
- Ritsu being bisexual
- the entire concept, the setting
- the few unexpected turns were nice, my favorite still being "help me hide the body" XDDDD
- basically everything XD
what i disliked :
- that we didn't actually get to see the world end, call me a weirdo but i was ready to see the big explosion or something and i was ready to bawl and now i'm undersatisfied XD
- the supernatural bit was a bit XDDD
-
18. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
03/29
ending : happy
what i liked :
- the chemistry was actually chemistrying imo, and it felt especially nice in the last ep
- the development: from enemies, to friends, to becoming each other's safe place? hell yeah
- DAYEOL FELL FIRST BUT TAEHYUN FELL HARDER
- weird point: that they took a train to that sea XDDDD idk, just when I saw that train station and them getting off the train i was like 'woah that's something new' XD
what i disliked :
- the time skips in the last 2 episodes made me lose the connection with the drama entirely
- mixed feelings about Dayeol quitting archery
- them becoming strangers could be handled better, give me more of that
notes :
- i don't mind not having a kiss, it's better than angle kisses lmao, as long as i don't think about these two already being in college and not sharing a kiss - we're good
- the last scene was absolutely out of fucking context XDDDD i mean okay, i guess Dayeol graduated college already? so that was another skip? whatever, that was very unnecessary because it brought nothing to the story, like we didn't even know Dayeol was interested in becoming a police and yet here we are
- btw i didn't read the manga xD
-
19. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
03/30
ending : happy
what i liked :
- the CHEMISTRY AJCBJHDSBJHDS STOP
- them BICKERING
- MUTUAL FEELINGS
- my new comfort drama :')
- Kitae finding Lee Wan amusing when he started acting hard to get PLEASE
- THEY ARE SO DAMN CUTE WHAT THE HELL T-T
- they're so comfortable uhuhuuuuuu please they scream COMFORT
what i disliked :
- too short pls why is it so damn short T-T
notes :
TOO DAMN SHORT
but jokes aside, they did a pretty damn good job laying out the story with such a short runtime, it didn't feel like it was lacking anything or it didn't get jumpy, it just leaves you craving more cuz it was so good T-T -
20. Unintentional Love Story
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
04/14
ending : happy
what i liked:
- THE HUGS OKAY
- the way Taejoon looks at Wonyoung
- the whole "i feel wronged" part of the misunderstandings
- that confrontation scene hehehe
- the hugs sdcshdcbhjd
- i'm sorry but Taemin in this role >>>>>>>>>
- they're both idiots, they both wronged each other and they both love each other so damn much XD
- Taejoon telling Wonyoung to use him as much as he wants and Wonyoung saying he's gonna love him instead shdcsghdbchdbvhndfjvnfjg
what i disliked :
- they did my babies Donghee and Hotae dirty, give me MORE OF THEM
- whoever was in the soundtrack department did a mediocre job, OST was nice in general, but not with the scenes it was used for, PLEASE
- waited for Wonyoung to call Taejoon by his name and all i got was "hyung", just once :)
- the last ep was all over the place, weirdly
notes :
- for some reason i'm disappointed with the ending XD or more like the way they wrapped the story, something about it just doesn't sit well with me -
21. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
04/26
happy
what i liked:
- the eye-fucking was insane i definitely needed more of that, the chemistry absolutely SLAYED and there was no intimate scene that didn't make my heart skip a beat, i kept blushing during all of them and they were so natural being all CLINGY and lovey dovey and don't get me started about that scene prior to the accident, LEGENDARY
- THE LAST EPISODE CHEMISTRY + just Jihyun being thirsty for Jaewon
- what they did with Jaewon's character in general, but he was written a bit sloppily; or maybe it was Jisub's interpretation?
- Jaewon Yoonwon friendship T-T
- Wetter-packed OST, wish they didn't disappear in the middle of the drama; gorgeous soundtrack, but the music dep should do better with choosing certain songs for certain scenes
- the therapy sessions, tho the convo about funerals gave me anxiety
what i disliked:
- editing was all over the place and sometimes confusing as f-, random at times and inconsistent; the black-screen cuts were such a turn-off
- Eunji sudden change in the last ep
- Jaewon's emotional baggage just disappearing like that, underdeveloped character imonotes:
- twitter got my expectations too high, like wow, i'm never getting excited for a show again because now i'm lowkey disappointed
- until the very last second of the series Jaewon was giving bipolar vibes and i can't get it out of my head and his good mood kept giving me absolute anxiety
- jail to anyone who was responsible for the execution of the beginning of ep7, when that shit turned almost black&white and despite knowing everything is fine i started doubting everything
- my artistic ass couldn't stand that f- font, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, there literally was no font that could be uglier, like how am i supposed to promote the show to my friends when the logo looks like that -
22. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
04/29
ending: happy
what i liked:
- the absolute CHAOS
- Tinn being absolutely SICK IN THE HEAD since the get go XD his imagination was WILD
- all the corny, cheezy, cringe stuff Tinn said and did because he was so damn whipped for Gun
- i knew Fourth was a great actor after Moonlight Chicken, but Gem absolutely surprised me with this one
- THIW BEST FRIEND EVER
- the chemistry was just shchsdbv, the face caressing T-T THE ICONIC CHIN SCRATCH T-T pls they're just so sweet T-T
- the parents!! Tinn's dad was just jfbjashv and GUN WITH TINN'S FATHER JSBHCHBJ also Tinn with his father and Tinn's parents too, they were just so wholesome
- Gun's mom being very unserious XDDDD her literally kicking Gun out of the hospital so he goes to the contest
- the absolute SUPPORT Tinn was for Gun
- pls their hugs were something else, and the way they looked at e/o and the cheek kisses were just too sweet to handle
- NO STUPID BREAK UP
- THE FLIRTING STAGE! pls im so glad they just didn't go straight to dating after confessing their feelings and all felt so natural that they just kept hitting on each other like YASS GIVE ME MORE OF THAT JSHCBHDSBCD IT FELT SO GOOD, THE MUTUAL FRIEND-ZONE
- Win and Sound!
- that one scene when they sang to themselves to cheer up, people cried. i am people
- printer the main character, that was actually smart product placement XD
- i'm sorry but that dance by the pool was just something else jsbdchdfvbdfbvjd also just Tinn testing the waters with all the staring and skinship was so jasbhhsvd
- they cleared the misunderstandings almost right away PLS
- Gun made Tinn sing again :")
- NO STRESS, NO PAIN, ONLY GOOD FEELINGS
- i really liked Tinn's T-shirt that said "life begins at the end of your comfort zone"what i disliked:
- it required a certain mood to digest the cringe at first XDnotes : my new Thai comfort drama
-

25. Earth-Mix Space
Thai TV Show - 2021, 21 episodes
05/08
started watching the show cuz i saw GemFourth were guests in ep19,
stayed for EarthMix hilarious chemistry XDabsolutely love these two and their friendship, they get along way too well lmao XD not a single episode was boring or felt scripted, every single ep was a great amount of laughter, we stan XD also product placement done well, excellent
favorite episodes were the ones in the water (ep11 and 21), ESPECIALLY ep11, best ep of the season
wished they had more guests over cuz they're such warm hosts and you can see they make their guests feel extremely comfortable, i myself would love to go on that show XDDD please take me

27. Our Skyy 2: My School President
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
05/18
happy ending XD
pros
- more GemFourth content :3
- Tinn fell first, AGAIN :"))
- ThiwPor is real :D
- it's still fun as fuck XD
- Gem being chaotic and unhinged again XD
- Tinn's mother XDDD
- familiar drama references (aka p'Aof advertising his dramas XD)
- the ballrom dance XD
- other ships (WinSound) stealing TinnGun scenes XD
- it wasn't entirely the same as MSP, tho ep1 was very close to the original, ep2 went very differently so it was fun XD
cons
- 2 eps is not 12 = too short = too jumpy
- Fourth didn't feel that vibe well enough i'm sorry xD his chaos felt fake to me
notes
this was actually more fun than I was expecting, also more people got switched than I thought, which was fun XD -
28. Jack Frost
Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
05/21
ending: happy
what i liked:
- the second chance trope merged with amnesia - i'm not normally a fan of amnesia theme, but this one was used well; i absolutely get why Fumiya lied about their relationship and tried not to cross any lines, at the same time trying to stay as close to Ritsu as possible
- btw Fumiya is so damn attractive
- the chemistry
- Fumiya's visible change after the accident
notes:
- I actually don't know, it was okay - nothing special, nothing groundbreaking but also not bad not boring (tho it took me 2 months to get past ep2 lol)
- a little bit mixed feelings about Ritsu finding out they were dating and shit hitting the fan and him being mad and then him remembering shit and not being mad.. idk something just feels off
really liked someone's review that said "It’s a bit like an extremely pretty art, but then you find out it was made by AI and it starts to feel a bit empty."
-
29. Love Mate
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
05/25
happy ending
what i liked
- that kiss in ep4 was marvelous and one of the best i've seen in kbl ever
- it's also when i could feel the chemistry
- leejoon was annoying as fvck in the last two eps but that's when i could relate to him
what i disliked
- the accidentall fall-and-kiss scene was ridiculous
- half of the dialogues was also ridiculous
- the CEO guy or whatever he was kept pissing me off with his "you're gay" agenda
- contrary to all the positive comments, i didn't feel the chemistry at all (with the ep4 kiss as an exception), it wasn't cute, it wasn't sweet, and it made no fucking sense, the plot was just not there
- haram? more like harass, didn't like his pushy attitude
- the whole love mate and love training concept were fucking ridiculous, too
- i'm sorry but they're all grown people, why are they taking stupid things so seriously, this is just so damn unrealistic and simply childish
-
30. Star Struck
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
06/09
happy ending
what i liked:
- the first 4 episodes or so, basically the introduction to the story felt very nice, especially the first scenes
- zuho's deep voice and his acting when yoojae was being playful or sarcastic
- the acting in general, but more in the first half of the series
what i disliked:
- the absolutely non-existent continuity, random cuts, skips etc
- once they apparently started dating the drama turned into an MV with more time skips than plot
- the whole thing with parents, i didn't like the way it was executed at all
- i don't like when things exist with no purpose (mainly talking about the boxing club)
- too many just absolutely random scenes that had nothing to do with the characters
- the characters weren't clear enough
- the story was all over the place, i felt more like we were floating on a broken boat in the ocean rather than diving with the characters
notes:
- wasted opportunity with the whole "star struck" thing, i mean, when you name a drama like that and make stars significant, you wanna keep them relevant all the time, which wasn't the case here -

32. Our Skyy 2: A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
06/11
treating the BB (above), BBxATOTS and ATOTS (below) episodes as one 4-ep special (aka this is a joint note for those 3 specials)
ending: happy for both couples
what i liked:
- i absolutely fucking missed BB so damn much it was so good to see them again
- absolutely love their dynamics and their relationship in general, i want what they have
- THE AGGRESSIVE KISSES ARE MY FAVORITE THING ON EARTH
- the set up for the cross-over actually made sense
- I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED SUCH CROSSOVER IN MY LIFE BUT HERE WE ARE, i mean it's THE bb combined with THE atots hsgdcvhdbdhfvbjdf THE POWER THIS ITSELF HOLDS
- BB recreating the iconic ATOTS scenes + ผมไม่ ใช่เมียคุณนะ and it was smooth as fuck actually
- that we actualy got to see the play, even if it was just 3 scenes, and the fact PhuTian went to see it :') also InkPa
what i disliked:
- PhuTian felt way too childish, especially put together with PatPran that appeared more mature than ever XD
- the days were too damn short? like they ate breakfast and BOOM they're lost in the forest and it's night XD
- btw the whole getting lost in the forest agenda XD
- Phu was out of character I'm sorry XD that wasn't Phu, that was someone pretending to be him
- ATOTS recreating BB scenes felt forced and idk, made no sense to me XD
- at some points it felt like the story was stuck in a loop
- PhuTian were overshadowed by PatPran and their insane chemistry, wish there were more PhuTian sweet scenes T-T

33. Our Skyy 2: A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Special - 2023, 1 episode
06/11
more general notes cuz the comment above got too long XD
- the proposal scene would be one of the best proposal scenes i've seen in a bl if Phu actually said literally ANYTHING XD when Tian broke down asking "seriously?" I felt that, it felt like such a geniune reaction, and then both of them getting more and more emotional was very much on point
- the PhuTian part in the city reminded me too much of EarthMix space and I couldn't focus on the series XD it felt too weird, PhuTian don't belong in the city
- I was kinda worried about OhmNanon (their controversies) but I'm so glad they're professionals and you couldn't feel any regress in their chemistry whatsoever, thank god
-
34. Our Skyy 2: Never Let Me Go
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
06/12
ending: happy
pros
- how their actions had consequences
- Phuwin's English XD
- Neung simping for Palm's hairstyle XD
cons
- i think they forgot Palm had a tattoo of Neung's name on his neck :")
- the story again slowed down in the middle like the main series, they could've used their time way better, making an actually cool special
notes
- that was a bit stretched and the introduction to the main point of the story was our of freaking nowhere but overall the idea was pretty cool
-
35. Our Skyy 2: The Eclipse
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
06/14
ending: happy
pros
- whatever you say, Wat was the main character of this special
- btw AJ looked absolutely stunning
- Louis also looked damn good in the bar scene
- liked the idea of showing the contrast between selfless and selfish people
- loved the way Aye just shushed Akk with kissess XD
- KhanThua kissess :DDD
cons
- music too fucking loud, you couldn't hear half of the dialogues
- wish they had more episodes to properly develop the story XD
notes
- give me more of AJ and the teacher T-T
them: how many kisses do you want?
OS2: The Eclipse: YES -
36. Moonlight Chicken: Behind the Scenes

37. A Tractor Loaded with Love
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
06/28
happy ending
what i liked
- the chemistry was chemistrying and the flirting and their reactions felt very natural
- it was generally fun
- Yechan confessing with his whole chest XD
- "doing something you like is very cool"
what i disliked
- the stupid "separation" in the last ep and comeback XD like, they literally shipped all Seonyul's equipment so i was like NICE he won't have to go anywhere and then they make him go anyway? we don't play like that
notes
- i didn't read the webtoon so i didn't know what i was going into, but i legit thought Yechan would be a fierce farmer man while we got a chaotic baby XD
-
38. To My Star 2 (Movie)
Korean Movie - 2023
06/30
happy endinggggg
what i liked
- finally the visual effects were there (for some reason the text messages didn't appear in the drama ver i watched and it was annoying)
- it's MY BABIES TMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
- i still love them so much and it still hurts so good
what i disliked
- not entirely disliked but it was a bit off-putting that they didn't know where to put some of the flashbacks so they just kept them the way they were in the drama ver (especially the one that interrupted jiwoo's conversation with uh his ex, forgot her name, that totally broke the contuinity of the scene)
notes:
- finally got a chance to freaking watch the movie version, got bless
- if you ask me, I'm still not a fan of this "let's put all the eps together and call it a movie" movement, but this sure was a damn ride
-
39. Egoist
Japanese Movie - 2022
07/01
sad ending
what i liked
- absolutely loved the camera work
- the vibes were there
- chemistry was chemistrying
- the story was actually pretty nice
- the shit hurt like hell and the fact it was so sudden and out of nowhere made it even better
- and the fact that ryota's mother also d-words in the end is absolutely heartbreaking, as far as i understand kosuke's actions i feel so damn sad for him
what i disliked
- not enough time to fully know the characters made me feel like kosuke had some ill intentions and until the very damn end i was suspicious of him
- the grounds of the story was kinda random actually idk
notes:
- i'm still having absolutely mixed feelings about kosuke but when i think about it, it all makes sense, which makes the confusion annoying XD
- i would love to see this as a drama so we could explore the characters a bit better, this kind of felt like they were rushing through things, but also as it's realistic cinema i guess it just makes sense, we never fully know the other person right
-
40. E.M.S Earth - Mix Space Season 2
Thai TV Show - 2023, 12 episodes

42. Journey to the Shore
Korean Movie - 2020
07/04
ending: it couldn't be more of a sad ending :)
"why do you keep cutt!ng yourself?"
"because I don't want to live" and when i say i started BAWLING right there and then, and never stoppedwhat i liked
- it went heavy, STRONG and BOLD
- realistic
- fucking sad
- i bawled a lot
- the chemistry and acting were just perfect
- the depressing vibe was also perfect
- definitely left and impression and i'm going to remember this movie for a long time despite it being only half an hour short
- btw the format worked very well, short movie and yet it conveyed the story so well
notes:
- i love independent cinema
- i actually wish it could be a drama, 4 eps would be enough i just need a drama like this, some heavy stuff with a meaning -
43. Step by Step: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
07/08
happy ending
what i liked
- MAN, holy fuck this man is gorgeous and i couldn't focus because of his body proportions
- P'Jeng was actually a wholesome character despite his flaws, I absolutely loved him
- I'm a sucker for office setting, and the marketing team is close to my heart so i really enjoyed this
- the chemistry was there, especially during the staring sessions
- THEIR CASUAL SCENES
- the dope kiss scenes are common knowledge ;) seriously, the kisses were so damn good
- P'YING PLOTTWIST
- Man's giggle was absolutely fucking adorable
- also fucking loved that we had a grown ass man acting like a grown ass man :)
- JENG SHOWING HIS VULNERABLE SIDE SAYING HE'S AFRAID TO GET BACK WITH PAT
- Man is absolutely fucking attractive, everything about him is so attractive i'm gonna cry, his dimples and smirk killed me BYE-
- ALSO HIS ENGLISH
- the way they switched from formal to nong-phi as soon as they got comfy was a blessing :)
- Pat fell first but Jeng fell harder :)
- oh also, Saint looks gorgeous in long hair :) thank you for coming to my TedTalk
- the way they used the title in the conversation and it made actual sensewhat i disliked
- i didn't really like Pat at times
- Pat sometimes wouldn't let Jeng explain shit and he'd just assume things on his own
- what the fuck was this Love Alarm shit when Pat got back with Put in the fucking middle of the drama :)))
- WHERE THE FUCK DID MY JAABJEN DISAPPEAR TO (Japan, yeah, I know, but WHY DIDN'T WE GET ANY SCENE WITH THEM OH MY GOD) especially since their 'break up' made no fucking sense
- the only straight kiss scene being an angle kiss was kinda not it XD why are bls getting straight-phobic XDnotes
- i don't exactly know why the last ep had to be 100 minutes long XD
- Pat finding out in ep EIGHT that Jeng is gay was so fucking funny to me for no reason XD -

Thai Special - 2023, 1 episode

46. Childhood
Thai Movie - 2023
07/28

07/28
happy ending
notes

- the chemistry was okay, nothing special but also not awful XD
-
48. Wedding
Korean Movie - 2017
08/03
sad ending
what i liked
- the sign language and the way they communicated
- the movie being silent from jihwan's pov
- that long-distance conversation during the wedding photo !!!!! genius
what i disliked
- the whole thing kind of lacked emotions and felt weirdly incomplete, like it lacked THAT something
-
49. His Man Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2023, 14 episodes
08/04
- I hope Junsung and Sungho all the best, please dont end up like Changmin and Jeonghyun
- I absolutely loved how persistent but respectful Junsung was, gosh
- Junsung fell first but did Sungho fall harder? I don't know if falling harder than Junsung is even possible, but we LOVE the development yes
- this season was handled better than s1 yes, the bar is very high for s3 now
- the love triangle felt wrong until the end, i'm sorry but Jin didn't sound genuine until the very end for me and the editing made it look like Minsung liked Joon more but okay, I wish Minsung my bestie happiness
- I also liked Yoonghee and his "I'll visit you 99 more times for 1 minute so you can fall for me" with Seonwoo XD Yoonghee, I hope it works out for you (especially after Seonwoo clinging to Yoonghee during the losers' meeting? XD lmao)
- Joon my baby, I'm sorry you had to go through this, the war is now over
- same goes for Jeongwook, I wish him all that's best in this world, he didn't deserve it, especially that stupid ass talk with Hyungjin that sounded like "if I knew I had a choice, I wouldn't go on a date with you, I'd rather stay at home and do literally anything but date you" :))))))
- Seonwoo, bestie, I'm sorry I got annoyed by you in the middle of the show, I wish you all the best as well because you deserve it
- JUNSUNGHO FOR LIFE, PLEASE BE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER T-T
-
50. You Are My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
08/11
happy ending
what i liked:
- the concept
- the chemistry, like i didn't expect krist to have so much chemistry with someone
- the acting
- the way some things just couldn't be changed no matter how hard they tried to avoid them, all the things happening eventually but in different circumstances
- the chances to go back being limited
- pisaeng refusing to date kawi as soon as kawi realized he ilkes him because he (pisaeng) didn't have the chance to actually pursue him yet XD
- when pisaeng went back and kawi was aware
- that hug when kawi realized he can't afford to lose pisaeng
- that kiss scene at the beach at the very end
what i disliked
- the chemistry kinda disappeared when they started dating
- when they switched to formal speech after they started dating XD made them sound distant instead of super respectful XD it was something new but felt weird
notes
- i still can't comprehend that we got Krist in a BL and he fucking DELIVERED
-
51. My Beautiful Man: The Movie
Japanese Movie - 2023
08/13
happy ending
what i liked
- HIRA AND KIYOI ARE BACK AGAIN
- their kiss scenes keep getting better :)))
- Kiyoi playing along when Hira treats him like some heavenly creature
- also Kiyoi just admiring Hira, that scene when they went house-hunting was so precious
- Kiyoi taking the initiative to talk stuff out
- okay, the bathtub scene *guilty*
- i died when Hira said the title and the screen went white and the movie ended, beautiful
what i disliked
- a tiny bit sad we didn't get Kiyoi photoshoot in that bathtub with roses, that would be perfect
- the kidnapping kinda put me off ngl
- there won't be any more utsukare content to watch now :(
-

- baram's orange cat energy XD
- hantae
- hantae
- their dynamics
- hantae
- they're so cuddly please T-T
- that kiss scene was something else wow
- the plot was actually nice and moved at a nice pace
- hantae's feelings and his personality T-T
- that venting scene when hantae took baram to the gym and they punched each other XD
- also hantae punching his punching bag whenever he was mad, that was cool how he handled his own emotions
- im hantae
- the coincidental similarities with his man 2 (junsungho), especially hantae's bright orange hoodie XD
what i disliked:
- this sangin asshole
- when hantae released that video despite baram telling him not to do anything about the situation
- baram taking back his confession
notes
- i thought everyone knew that hantae liked baram, baram included XD but it looks like people are bad at reading the room there and baram didn't take hantae's drunk confession seriously
- hantae crying over food absolutely broke my heart, it's always sad but this scene was especially heartbreaking
- those haters that were throwing eggs at hantae's back XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD they were fucking hilarious like lmao they just stood there, pretty much respecting their space and just- XDDDDDDDD absolutely hilarious
-
53. HIStory3: Trapped - Behind the Scenes
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 10 episodes
08/24
actually watched it when it was releasing but it didn't have the page back then and i didn't know behind the scenes could also have pages on MDL so i never really cared to check out if it gets added to the database and so i just totally randomly came across this page and i was like yeah i watched it but i don't remember much and i miss them anyway so let's rewatch XD
so here we are
missing tangfei even more than before watching this -

09/05

-
55. Wedding Plan
Thai Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
09/05
happy ending
what i liked:
- the kiss scenes were nice
- Nuea's family was fun
what i disliked:
- Lom taking centuries to confess the wedding is just a cover-up
- basically Lom taking ages to make decisions XD
- the lesbian kisses were so awkward T-T
- the wedding fight in slow motion
notes:
- shit was sponsored by McDonald's XD felt like a nice change
- someone in the comments said that Lom's smile looked like Grinch and I couldn't unsee it XD
- I've never felt such a strong urge to bury my face in someone's chest like I did with the Lom guy, damn
- i should probably get used to not liking the main plot of mame's works lmao i mean, Nuea slept with his client knowing he's getting married lol
- idk it was mid
-
56. Jun and Jun
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
09/07
happy ending
notes:
- high quality kiss scenes are not enough to save a drama that has no plot
- the directing/execution was kinda weird idk
- i don't like it when there's some generic 'free download' music playing in the background no matter the scene
- the dynamics between the characters (all of them) were odd
- it was actually boring af lol i have no idea what this show was about
- chimon probably the best character lol
- i was rooting for chimon and hyunjae to be a thing (apparently there's a scene of their cheek kiss going around twitter that was cut out of the drama for whatever reason lol)
- kimyeong calling lee jun "noona" was annoying as heck
- idk if it's just the translation but the dialogue sometimes made no fucking sense at all, like who even talks like that, the conversations made no sense
-
57. Love Class Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
09/08
happy ending
what i liked:
- generally i just enjoyed the show a lot, it had nice plot, nice acting, great chemistry and not much stupid drama, we stan
- i love that joohyuk and sungmin don't look like kids XD we stan college students that look mature
- JOOHYUK SUNGMIN MAIN COUPLE FULL PACKAGE BEST CHARACTERS BEST KISS SCENES (like, that bed scene was just so good)
- when joohyuk locked sungmin's office, kissed him and just left? fucking genuis
- joohyuk was so weirdly attractive wow
- j-min, woojae and yongseok have the prettiest smiles please-
- the mistery of siwoo guy (how tf did he survive the fall is my question)
- s1 cameo even tho i didn't like s1 except for having a soft spot for my puppy Roa
- KIM AN CLINGY AND FUCKING CRAZY XD
what i disliked:
- them not noticing that the freaking microphone photobombed the scene several times XD
- they never cleared kim an's name
- basically the whole rooftop scene in the present was kinda lazily written, like siwoo just left bye bye you'll never see me again? XD ok
notes:
- kim ahn is a black cat and leehyun is a white cat, and i have such a soft spot for them but i'm kinda sad that my kittens couple didn't give us nicer kisses
- kinda funny how everyone was gay, it's giving thai bl vibes XD
- kiman x leehyun delivered nice story with mid kisses
- maru x minwoo delivered mid story with great kisses
- last ep was very much just a filler but I NEED MORE, GIVE ME ANOTHER SEASON WITH THESE CHARACTERS PLS PLS PLS
- also ain't no way yongseok is a rookie actor, WHAT
-

Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
09/15
happy ending
what i liked:
- yugyeom x seonwoo until their first kiss XD
- basically the kiss scenes were okay XD
what i disliked:
- everything else
notes
- the horrible sound made it feel like a school project lol but the dubbed parts were even worse than the inaudible ones
- changhoon and sangmin being the only ones that can actually act was depressing
- the 'saizon' couple (aka jioh x leewon) was boring as shit because of their shitty acting
- except for the "fanfiction becoming reality" and them actually watching the source material, it had nothing in common with the Thai WRU lol
- Zol was a way better writer than uh, whatever her name was lol
- cursing usually doesn't bother me at all but here it was just too damn out of nowhere, 씨발
-
59. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
09/19
happy ending

- ENEMIES TO LOVERS AT ITS FINEST tho could be enemies for a tiny bit longer
- GOOD TO EVIL TO TWISTED GRAY LET'S GO BEST DEVELOPMENT
- i'm absolutely in love with their dynamics
- absolutely in love with Chan's mannerism, his posture, the way he sits, everything, just wow
- Chan is down SO BAD HSDJHFBV
- the way Chan is the flirty one but he completely melts when Tinn is flirting with him XD
- Film's stylists need a freaking raise, he looks so damn good hsdbvhcvdfhvdbfj
- FILM'S HAND IN JAM'S HAIR FOR THE KISS IN EP6
- i love how Film's psychotic smile would make me smile with him :DD
- Film and Jam both so damn hot jshbdjhfv
- the way Tinn is so gentle with Chan physically, like his touch is so tender imma cry
- Nawin a very cool unhinged crazy character XD i liked him a lot
- overall the drama was actually interesting and had some twists and me likey
- i can't get over their chemistry and dynamics, so damn good, the way they looked at each other with eyes full of love but also were this kind of a sassy couple that was done with each other's shit XDD
- the Maya woman could SING
- also Chan's friendship with Rose
what i disliked
- See doesn't know how to act out crying scenes XD sad
- well, the special effects still weren't perfect but hey! at least they improved quiet a LOT since Khun Chai !
- the d34d dog was very unnecessary
- i mean, sometimes the plot didn't make sense and had holes but whatever XD
notes
- even tho i wanted to watch it as soon as it was over (even sooner, while it was airing) i had to put it off for a while (ended up being 2 weeks lol) cuz i was just too damn attached to jamfilm as jiu and tian XD
-
60. Rerun
Thai Movie - 2023
09/20
ending? well they broke up and it feels like there's some feelings lingering so i wouldn't call it a happy ending
what i liked:

- the chemistrywhat i disliked:
- no closure and too short XDnotes:

61. Hidden Agenda
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
09/24
happy ending
what i liked:
- the kiss scenes were great, yes, that's what lured me into this series
- DUNK'S HAND CHOKING JOONG DURING THE KISSES
- the plot was okay, nothing special tho
- the chemistry was kinda giving
- Joong can SING
- Joong's character in general
- Zo being a tease
- it had its funny moments
- that they fixed Zo's hair early on, thank god that awful bowl cut was done for development purposes XD
what i disliked:
- Zo being unreasonable XD like he made some stupid decisions for no damn reason
- there was nothing strong about the plot
- Dunk's acting still needs to be improved (the way he walks was so stiff XD and him squinting his eyes and raising his eyebrows, this expression really started pissing me off by the end XD)
- the whole "hidden agenda" fight was fucking ridiculous actually
notes:
- i feel like Joong's acting improved a ton since 'star in my mind' while Dunk is still stuck at his rookie-level acting that doesn't deserve the main lead role, i said what i said
- there's nothing special about this drama but i enjoyed it a lot after being traumatized by star in my mind XD
- for some reason it's refreshing that it's Zo who's the bisexual character AND most importantly has history with men even before Joke, this feels nice for some reason
-
62. Our Dating Sim (Movie)
Korean Movie - 2023
09/27
happy ending
notes:
- only reason why it's NOT a 10 like the series ver. is that they cut out all the game simulation scenes from the series and didn't put them together as a one big post credit scene, which i was hoping to see and now i'm disappointed that i didn't XD
- also Wan going back to Daejeon and disappearing felt kinda odd, the editing ended up being messy in that part
-
63. Love in Translation
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
10/08
happy ending
what i liked:
- the kiss scenes were GOOD
- Offroad is damn pretty
- Yang in love is the best Yang
- the chemistry was nice
- Daou speaking Chinese
what i disliked:
- the premise felt a bit odd for some reason, i can't put my finger on it but something about it bothers me XD
- the stupid conflict in ep 5/6 XD
- Offroad's crying was not it XD
- the editing of the flashbacks was a bit unclear and random
- "i'm over Tammy so i don't need you and the shop anymore" & "our relationship ends when i'm no longer your partner" im sorry that's stupid XD
notes:
- they threw all their sponsors in that last ep XD
- that kidnapping part was actually pretty ridiculous XD
- we didn't need the TMS handkerchief connection, tho I knew we would get it since ep1 lol
-
64. My Personal Weatherman
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
10/13
happy ending
what i liked:
- Mizuki
- Kouhei's face
- the chemistry
- well, the kiss scenes were great as well
- the flashbacks to the past (which apparently was just 4 months earlier???) had THE vibe and i wish that could be the main plot
wha i disliked:
- come on, TOO SHORT
- ngl the plot was kinda weak
- Yoh saying until the very end that he doesn't understand Mizuki was kinda not it
notes:
- i don't know what else to say about this show tbh
-
65. Hidden Agenda: Behind the Scenes
Thai Special - 2023, 12 episodes
10/16
notes:
- their off-screen chemistry is unmatched
- i love how these two have absolute blast on set, like it's just so fun to watch XD couldn't stop smiling, they're so playful XDDD
- love how literally everyone just starts singing random songs that fit what they're saying lol XD peak comedy
- also can we talk about the kiss takes that didn't make it into the drama??? excuse me but Dunk choking Joong was so hot
-
66. Bed Friend
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
10/18
ending: happy with a cliffhanger for the second couple that's leading up to Middleman's Love :)
what i liked:
- James being slightly taller than Net
- basically James pretty, he could pass for Film's brother
- King's parents and the way they accepted Uea into their family
- well, they do know how to kiss
what i disliked *big sigh*
- never really got into the series, never felt the chemistry
- Net's eyes were so damn empty no matter what
- i knew the kinks would be there but they were so forced they were just unwatchable
- the broken continuity during the bed scenes also pissed me off quite a lot
- they gave all possible trauma to just one character and made the rest of the characters plain as fuck lol
- once the problems started getting resolved they really took one ep to be solved and that was lazy writing
- last 2 episodes didn't have to exist
notes:
- Krit was annoying but he's like, the only character with hints of personality
- funny how there's suddenly a victim of Uea's step dad outta fucking nowhere
-
67. Only Friends
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
10/28
ending: general cliffhanger (?), depends on your pairing XD happy for FirstKhao and ForceBook
what i liked:
- the absolute mix-match with everyone, and the way each episode gave us more and more options
- Mew in his nasty era was the best, his downfall was hot as fuck
- for real, the part in which Top was Mew's enemy was the best part of the show, hands down
- BOESANDRAY, i don't care about the context, i just wanted to see it happen and i DID
- Boeing arriving very late for the party and causing trouble everywhere he went
- SandNick kiss proving that being gay doesn't mean you suddenly like every guy around + just SandNick friendship in general
- also Nick having self-respect in the end
- love firstkhao being sarcastic (that smoke kiss was fire, hehe), Sand calling Ray an asshole is so dear to me
- possessive Ray
- the OST slapped so hard
- Book actually looks so damn hot in a black tanktop
- Neo's acting that made me feel bad for Boston
- Boeing kissing almost every character in the show in just 3-4 episodes XD
what i disliked:
- the more i watched the less i could stand Force's face :D
- TopMew as a couple
- that random fire scene in the last ep
notes:
- SEASON 2 WHEN
- it took a bit too long to be what i was expecting it to be but hey, at least we got there at some point XD
-
68. Y Journey: Stay Like a Local
Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
11/03
- it's more of an ad / special than an actual drama, but the episodes do have a bit of plot and MosBank ep (ep5) is the only one with a sad ending
- by the way the MosBank ep also was the best and felt the shortest because of that
- YoonDew's ep was the longest and most confusing one lmao XD
- very beautiful places, very delicious-looking food that i wanna try so bad
- it's a nice form of advertising the country lol
-
69. I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
11/03
ending: absolute confusion
(last minute "happy ending" RUINED BY THE POST-CREDIT CLIFFHANGER)what i liked:
- THE FEELINGS IT MADE ME FEEL and the AFTER-FEEL 100/10
- both Bright and Nonkul are so good at hopeless anger
- also just Nonkul's acting in general, especially the change between past and present
- their staring sessions are very satisftying
- i want a hug from Khun Yai, surprisingly his hugs look so warm T-T
- the great chemistry started ✨ CHEMISTRYING✨ in ep7
- THEM TEASING EACH OTHER !!!!!
- i was literally kicking the mattress, punching the wall, biting the pillow from the cuteness overload XD
- LOVED the way it was brought to light that Jom is from a different timeline
- btw the whole time travel thing was cool XD tho the way they yeeted Jom out of the car was hillariously ridiculous XDD
- that heartbreaking s3x scene was just something else, i'll remember it for the rest of my life
- also they were onto something with that body oil scene, geez
- the letters- YAI'S LETTER BROKE ME
- IT WAS SO SAD
- i cried. a lot. i mean it
- but in general it was just fun to watch and you just can't help but love these two so much T-T
what i disliked:
- Typhoon's eyebrow makeup in the past XD
- i'm confused by the ending. a lot XDnotes:
- honestly I got super excited for Jom and Ohm, the age gap was age gapping, RIP, you served half an episodeT-T
- "if remembering hurts you, forget about it completely and start anew" T-T
- there was something especially HOT about Khun Yai in ep10, he just looked so irresistible
- i don't know what, why and how happened there, but i'm here for it
- i desperately needed Yai in a modern setting, but this is not what i meant XD
- I NEED S2, A SPECIAL EP WON'T BE ENOUGH T-T -

GIVE THEM BACK TO ME T-T
- btw the director was so right when he said it HAD TO be Bright and Nonkul playing Yai and Jom, i can't imagine anyone else playing those roles and just wow, they did an amazing job
- also i really really like them together off the camera, they seem so friendly with each other pls
- the greenscreen part was fun XDDDDD
- bonus points for "a thousand years" playing in the background during the dance scene

72. Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo
Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
11/04
happy ending
what i liked:
- the absolutely insane chemistry from the freaking get-go
- that chemistry is everything they're so CUTE
- WARMTH
- the acting was so *chef's kiss*
- RYUJI-KUN IS UNREAL, the gentleman that he is- wow
- the color grading was actually very pretty and the soft glow made everything look so dreamy
- "please make it one-sided for a while" NO STUPID SEPARATION DHBVJSFKJSKS
- HE REMEMBERED AND HE CAME T-T
- they feel like best friends to lovers and it's just so precious asvcsdhgvcsdjg
- the healing relationship after being hurt by love is always good, THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A HEALING DRAMA
- CUTE AND SHORT ONE-SITTING BINGE YES amen
what i disliked:
- the length must be a freaking joke, i need MORE OF THEM
notes:
- i'm sorry but Hyuga' mannerism here is so SHanbin coded it makes his character even better
- also, him being an 04 liner makes no sense :D
- and he also looked like Yuta and Eiji mixed together XD so distracting
- i really appreciate Japan for just ending their dramas when the characters get together (cuz most of the times when they continue they bring some stupid drama to keep the plot going) but i wouldn't mind one more episode of them just being cute with each other XD just to keep the eps at an even number XD

73. Only Friends: Behind the Scenes
Thai Special - 2023, 12 episodes
11/06
notes:

-
74. Miracle
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
11/07
ending: happy
what i liked:
- ZHONGYI ZHERUI HEIGHT DIFFERENCE AND AGE GAP
- that birthday scene in prison was exactly what i needed for TangFei
- and that birthday flashback of Ai Di celebrating their birthdays alone broke my heart, it was so nicely shown
- Zherui tearing up when Mr. Bai told him he will try to accept him as his son T-T
- Zherui tearing up when he reuinted with Zhongyi and struggled with calling him a xiao zi T-T
- that Ai Di Chen Yi kiss scene when Chen was wasted and thought was kissing the boss and Ai Di just cried kissing him the fuck-
- Chen Yi genuinely smiling for the first time when Ai Di tied him to the chair (also he's got DIMPLES????)
- also just Chen Yi's face, he looks so good
- TARO'S ACTING
- Ai Di and Chen Yi in the last episode were exceptional
what i LOVED and then didn't really:
- that kiss when Zherui sits on ZhongYi's lap was something else- basically the entire scene from the moment Zherui just ran to ZhongYi until they started taking their clothes off XD then it got too long, unnecessarily long
- the dynamics between Ai Di and Chen Yi was nice until Ai Di started disregarding Chen Yi's feelings :D BUT THEN WHEN THEY FIGURED IT OUT HGSVCHGSDVBGDHFVBHBDH
what i didn't like that much:
- i'm sorry but the premise for ZhongYi and Zherui is so out of nowhere XD
- i'm confused as to why the Fan family is trying to hurt ZhongYi, i mean??? dude, he literally took the blame for Zherui, what the fuck do you want from him
- the plot, it was lacking something
- why did Zherui have to get hurt this many times XDnotes:
- why so many cameos XDDDD
- i thought it was going to be purely teacher-student drama and when i tell you i was surprised when i found out i was scammed was an understatement XD but nevertheless i did enjoy my "teacher"-student crumbs XD -

- Dongwook testing the waters and pushing the limits

- they KISSED
- their chemistry was damn great
- THE HUG IN LAST EP
- Dohyun kissing Dongwook first in the last ep
- micro-acting shbvjhfvbjdfbh

- the friendship between the characters felt like an actual friendship
- the funny moments were very much appreciated
- last but not least, Shin Jeongyoo is so damn pretty-
notes:
- it was simple, but it was so well done it outdid many dramas with more abitious plots; a breeze of love knew their abilities and made most of them creating a simple masterpiece, amen
- seungjoo spin-off when? :)

happy ending
what i liked:

- he's a romantic as well, gosh the way he remembered the first time he saw dohoon and associated it with the smell of flowers? i'm GONE, DECEASED

- dohoon saying the i love you first
- the hugs and kisses
- the food
- the feelings
- sangwoo wingman
- the little details (i specifically mean yoonsoo smelling dohoon's clothes to see if there's food scent on them)
what i didn't like:
- i'm tired of adults acting like teenagers, that fight after ep5 was just too childish

- i feel like i absolutely wasted my time on this
- yuki and yingze screentime, i need more of them
- the main couple's plot was not giving
- the development between ligong and shou was kinda questionable
- the most annoying Taiwanese OST ever XD
notes:
- ligong fell first but shou fell harder
- it seemed like they had a few ideas to make certain things significant for them, and messed it up with too many possibilities
- why was Qilei talking so loud all the time
-

88. Eien No Kinou: Complete Edition
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
12/04
sad ending
- for some reason i was expecting a ghost story but this is more like a zombie one lol
- in a nutshell i was expecting something more tearjerking that would make me cry all the damn time
- what absolutely killed me were three scenes:
- when it started hitting Oumi that Koichi was nearing his end at that childbirth scene
- Oumi breaking down asking his father how to deal with the pain
- Oumi's monologue about the sadness never going away
- i LOVED Oumi, him and his cold and sad aura are so relatable, his inner monologue was so damn good
- it felt like they didn't exactly know how to wrap up the ending
- the story was beautiful, but it lacked something that would make the execution do its justice
-

- the kiss scenes were great, especially the post-credit one ahgcvgdsbvdj
what i disliked:
- okay not disliked cuz i understand why they "separated" but it was a bit annoying to see them both wanting to confess and not saying it and just misunderstanding each other
notes:

- i wish this was a bit longer, i need more of their sweet time

92. Colorful Melody
Thai Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
12/19
sad cliffhanger?
notes:
- been a while since i watched something with such stiff acting lol
- the story had no point :D
- there's nothing colorful about that thing
- i hate break-ups "for the greater good", especially since they didn't even fulfill that said 'greater good' in the end (broke up to follow their dreams and ended up doing something else pft)
- i was expecting something different XD
- lazy writing - they made them do things without audible dialogue and turn it into an MV lol
- the cinematography was okay tho, the places were very pretty
- waste of time :')
-
93. Semantic Error Movie
Korean Movie - 2022
12/19
notes
- they cut out some scenes, some of that improved the flow of the movie but in some moments it made the movie very choppy
- the subs aren't the best and don't fully convey what they should
- is this movie weirdly silent or is it just me? like, where did the music go
- THEY GAVE US THAT SCENE OF JAEYOUNG OBSESSING TO YUNA OVER SANGWOO CALLING HIM 'HYUNG' 4 TIMES HEHEHEHEHEHHEHE YES
- in short, the drama flowed better
-
