  • Where Your Eyes Linger

    101. Where Your Eyes Linger

    Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Started & Finished in October.

    This BL series was SO good and SO well acted by the lead actors.
    The cinematography (the lighting and colours, especially) and the angst (unsaid words, looks, touch...) were top-notch.
    I liked how the story was very focused but found it way too short (1hr 20min). Some scenes between the 2 main leads could have been added for character build-up -these talented actors' chemistry deserved more scenes together- and the end could also have been better developed/less rushed.
    PS: The comic relief of the girl's mother was a nice welcome touch.

  • The First Love Story

    102. The First Love Story

    Korean Special - 2021, 2 episodes

    8.5

    A very cute, but WAY TOO short, mini Kdrama BL with 2 talented young actors. Such a sweet little gem !

  • The Romance of Tiger and Rose

    103. The Romance of Tiger and Rose

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    8.5

    Started in October & Finished in December.

  • Put Your Head on My Shoulder

    104. Put Your Head on My Shoulder

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes

    7.5

    Started & Finished in October.

    I was so excited to start this Cdrama as I usually love a slow burn romance. Unfortunately, this series was quite disappointing.

    It started well: good acting, good premise, good pace.
    Certainly cute at the beginning, the constant misunderstandings between the 2 MLs became excessive. This mainly ruined the overall pace of the show as the episodes started to get quite repetitive, overly slow and, sadly, uninteresting. And when the 2 MLs finally get together, they keep failing at communicating properly (I don't remember them once really talking honestly to each other). Regrettably, from then on, the unnecessary subplots didn't add any value to the rest of their story.
    This series could have been smartly wrap up in 12 episodes which would have been way better.

    For some reason, as the show progressed, I also started to appreciate the endearing ML more and the FL (a lot) less. She had the most unnerving attitude towards the ML during the whole drama.
    Am I the only one who thought they had barely anything in common ? At some point, I even found the SECOND main couple much more interesting and emotionally connected as their characters developped.

    By the way, the FL's mother kept getting on my nerves until the very end. Such an overbearing and borderline inappropriate character !

    Despite the good performance of the cast (against such a weak plot), I personally thought this series lacked the charm of other similar Cdramas like "Hidden Love", "When I Fly Towards You", "My Secret" and "Wait, My Youth".

    This was my very 1st Filippino drama... and, OMG, that was so ridiculous and superficial ! I can't believe we're still doing such clichéd shows in 2024 ! No wonder the world's population is getting dumber !
    The trailer seemed fun but the overall plot was just a lot of emptiness. I felt bad for the actors who had nothing to work on.
