The Frustration of Love Interest

I like where the series is going, it was frustrated to watch at first couple of episodes
but it started to get better after ep7, below is a summary after watching ep8.

FL is frustrates me but I cannot stop watching!
After watching up to 12 episodes the one character that frustrates me the most
is the FL Soo Young, she answers questions with a question if it has anything to
do with who she likes or who she is interested in. The conflict and frustration of
this is she want to date the ML but she doubt herself as she feels she is not good
enough for him as she did not go to a Universaty. After the 2FL joined the bank and
formed a relationship with ML, it was clear that FL had love interest in ML but she instead
took a turn and started dating the 2nd ML who is a security guard which has his own financial
and career goals problems. This has created more tension between the M & F leads
Once you pass the first couple of episodes, the story will start to unfold with her but she
keep us on our toes after each episode.

Turning Point for M & F Leads!
I loved the fish market scene in ep8 with Sang Hoo trying to sell fish
and this was my favorite scene so far and also the turning point of the drama with the scene
where Soo Young found out Sang Hoo helped reporting on the Bank Manager's behaviour
against her. When she offered to help sell the fish, I was like finally something good might
happen between them now as they are attracted to each other.

Who is Mi Kyung?
One thing is clear now is that Mi Kyung is trying way too hard and her intentions
are not genuine with Soo Young and she knows Sang Hoo likes Soo Yang.
She prepaired her plans to work at the Bank to get her College crush to want her
but this seems very forced. She pretended she could not skate but her mommy dearest
spilled that she was an amature figure skater lol. What an ambitious liar!
I will get back to this twat of a character....
2nd Female Lead is Doing Too Damn Much!
Mi Kyung's true colors are finally showing with forcing herslf with this new relationship,
she kissed him first, she calls him first, she showed up at his place uninvited and so many other events she been doing ongoingly to getting Sang Hoo to like her.
Soo Young is only playing along with Mi Kyung but she knows she is not a geniune friend.
Mi Kyung bought the painting Soo Young liked and placed it in her bathroom,
such a savage move knowing that Soo Young would see it as she is coming to her house
for that fake birthday surprise with the mats. That is when FL realised the 2nd FL is
being fake and what kind of a gift is that to give someone for their birthday?

2nd ML Will Bounce Back But .....
This story emphasis on social ranking and sadly the 2nd ML is the lowest rank in the work
place, he is dating the popular teller but felt short after paying for his father's surgery and
failing his test. The thing I admired was FL gave him back some hope, the living situation
is not the best but might be the only option to help him get back on his feet to prepare to
take the test again. It's crystal clear there is no chemistry between them but her intentions
are geniune to help him get in the police academy. I think 2nd ML might find love at the Police Academy once he passes his test.

What Drew Me In!!!
The ending is giving hints of something going to happen between M & F lead but what
if those hints were a trick as we did not see them in the same shot?
I want something good to happen and I'm really liking where this is going finally!


After watching Ep8 I gave it a 8.5/10 as I saw where the story is getting smoother and no more frustrated scenes.
I will update my review along the way.

Gu Won is Pretty Do Hee's Perfect Demon!!!

I stayed up all night on the west coast to watch the 1st episode that aired at 6:30am PST!
Contain Spoiler!!!
When it comes to visuals I think this is Song Kang's best look in a K-Drama, his intro
scene was mind blowing with him walking in a long black hood cape (200 years ago) where he visited
a catholic place of worship, he placed his 5 fingers in a bowl of water to create flower petals then it formed
a stem of rose which he used to ignite his powers. After, the camera went closeup (4:34 mins) capturing a profile
shot of his head/face which was so beautiful and all I'm thinking if a devil can look so pretty I would
be fooled easily if I don't focus on his intentions lol. I was melting away in the early morning, The way his hair
was styled very textured with the hair dangled on his forehead which appear like a wet look, His under eyes had
a soft reddish look which made him look even more mysterious in a provocative and appealing way.
No other Demon character has outshined Song Kang as Gu Won!!!

Kim Yoo Jung looks very gorgeous as Do Do Hee and she fits the role as FL with Song Kang as ML.
Do Hee character is a rich girl princess like and she plays her role very well. I really could not get
enough of the beauty. So while it's fresh on my head I want to write a little review that this Drama
Series looks promising and the preview for Ep2 look like a lot of fun parts.

Jung Koo Won bargains with humans and at the 10 years deadline they die and go to a spiritual realm
then come back to work for him. On the same day in 2023, Jung Koo Won reserved a restaurant to eat alone,
Instead, Do Do Hee's adopted mother's fixed up a blind date for her that got mixed up with the restaurant
and that was how she met Gu Won. Later in the episode an incident happened where someone tried to
kill Do Do Hee and Gu Won was looking for his prey and went to save Do Do Hee from the attacker.
But first Do Do Hee need to make a deal with Gu Won. They both fell in the water escaping the attacker
where his powers were transferred to Do Hee under water. That was where Ep1 ended and will find out how
things will unfold for the beautiful Demon and pretty Do Hee. I hope Jung Koo Won gets back his powers lol.
It will be fun to see Gu Won powerless around Do Hee as well.

I couldn't help but notice the great quality of the editing and VFX so seamlessly done along with the beautiful
cinematography that captured the scenes beautifully and you can tell this was a very high budget Drama to make.

I recommend to give it a watch, you will laugh a lot too, the writer have come up with a strong theme, very original.
Like how can you make me sit and watch a beautiful demon drama? What I love about this drama, the writer makes
it very straight forward to follow, no entanglement and confusion. It is simply as that. I recommend to rewatch EP1
as it contained what the Demon did with the flowers and may have a part to play throughout the series.

I will update along the way ❤️‍?

After watching episode 9 & 10 only if I could rate it more than 10 out of 10!
SPOILER!!!
Gu Won regained his powers yippy!!!! I won't say which episode but it was MAGNIFICENT!!!
Gu Won is Do Hee's Perfect Demon! and this drama is my weekend therapy...❣️

Worth all My TIME!

I wish I could just binge it, it's that good that I frown when I have to wait for another episode.
It is so fun, I laugh out loud many times, and of course there are serious parts in the story.
The FL & ML are friends from college days and the ML is a Star and is every move is watched by
the public and also his Agency staffs especially the FL as her job is lead in PR team to communicate
with reporters and also to manage all his content and news posted about the ML which some can be misunderstood.
They are kind of enemies becoming lovers and the first to confess is the ML. I am glad I found this RomCom
to fill my weekends. I gave it 10/10 because it has an overall balance in everything and the fact that I laugh so much.

Keep watching, don't listen to the haters. ( I finished this series and loved it)!!!!

All I can say right now is Rowoon has won me over again!
Only at episode 4 while I am writing this quick review and it was so hilarious.
If your the type of watcher that likes to laugh and just enjoy a fun
filled drama, then start watching. The negative reviews are just
from so called watchers who think they could create a better story and
they can't. Bringing down a Drama at first 4 episodes when it's
so fun, only tells that these people are simple targeting greatly
made dramas to keep down the ratings on MDL. In fact it's already
greatly received.

Update after finishing this series-
This was beautifully made and loved how they did not reveal everything in
one go and also loved that the M & F leads had a lot of time for their relationship scenes.
The paste was steady flow, not rushed and the last 5 episodes were wrapped up nicely,
It's quite refreshing to how this story telling was done, most dramas always overload
the last episode but this one paste it and kept what they needed to until the last 2 episodes.
Very good all round cast and the scenes in the office with the co workers made me laughed
alot especially Mr Gong, he somewhat filled the show with his witty unserious character.
My score at the start was 10/10 and it remains the same.

The OSTs were so good especially "I'll Always Be With You" by lyn

Yunshen Injuries were too much!

I loved watching Cheng Yi in this drama but I think there was too many injury to him.
Yunshen first injury was in Country M where the FL & ML both fell. He recovered after a few days.
After he returned from Country M, he was in a major car incident that almost took his life,
involving his brother's mom but the cause of this was Yunshen's mom that lead the woman to
walk on the streets to create that accident but Yunshen did not hit her, it was the truck.
He got better overtime but he got beaten up just after he started walking again set up by his brother.
Next incident the FL got attacked by the little girl's dad but that caused another
injury to Yunshen. that took him back to the hospital. Then he left to go talk to the evil mom and she caused
the next incident his wound got worst and he had to be bed ridden even longer. The last incident was in
Country M where he got shot saving Zhu Jiu and that is the only time the FL was in the hospital as a patient.

I wanted to give this series a top score but it had too much incidents mainly to the ML.What is the purpose of all
these attacks to the main character of this story? The series should have tags "crime and death" added, because i
t is not just mystery, romance and melodrama. The FL had her family and work colleagues death to live through.
Her mom & dad were killed in Country M (flashbacks), her grandma, her 2 doctor friends died in Country M.
ML also had family deaths, his dad died by depression (flashbacks) his Grand dad died by heart issue,
his bother's mom got killed by accident, This was too much.

Another thing I noticed, the brother did not get punished for setting up an attack on his brother.
Yunshen's mom did not get punished for instigating the child's dad to attack the FL but Yunshen was
the one that got hurt. Both brother and mother should have got punishment with their accomplice.
The love story between the ML & FL was not very focused on romance, even though they fell in love but
we did not see them having a fun day out or a get away without any attacks.
The writer's had one kind of style is to create accident and attack scenes to the ML.
I suffered watching these injury scenes.

When it started I gave it 10/10 ratings but after the continuation of multiple incidents I gave it
8.5/10. I loved Cheng Yi acting overall. The Main characters & many supporting cast acted great too,
but the story plots could be better especially in Country M. I still recommend it to watch if you don't
mind the accidents and attack scenes.

I put up with watching this because of the ML Cheng Yi, as most of his dramas are historical and
it was a nice addition to see him in a series in this day and age but they should not focus so many injury
to the ML.

The Soon To Be Diva Is Outside The Fish Tank!

I knew this Drama would be a good to watch in Autumn and will be a priority on my list in the weeks ahead.
I watched many of the cast in multiple Dramas. I love Park Eun Bin in Extra Ordinary Attorney Woo and love
Chae Jong Hyeop perfomance in Unlock My Boss so I know this series will be a great watch in the coming
weeks ahead.

While watching episode 1 I did not know what to expect as there was not much in the synopsis. It started
with the female lead playing Seo Mok Ha and her friends in school, she wanted to use her phone but
did not charge it and went around asking everyone if they use the same phone as hers so she could use
their battery. After searching she later found out her class mate Jung Ki Ho has the same phone and she
asked him to lend his battery so she could make a phone call but he needed money, she pleaded until he gave
her the use of the phone battery. Only to find out Seo Mok Ha called to sing for her favorite pop star
Yoon Ran Joo. Seo Mok Ha was so star struck and was so happy that she could die lol. When Jung Ki Ho
heard what she said, he took the phone and ended the call and took back his battery because she said she
could just die hahaha.

There was a competition and Seo Mok Ha wanted to make a video to sumbit to Yoon Ran Joo and another
classmate recommended Jung Ki Ho that he does great videos with great editing skills so she went to asked
him, but this was not for free. Before the making of the video the story went from light and refreshing to
child abuse as we see Jung Ki Ho's dad beating him as he found out his son was working and he beat him
as he thought he was planning to run away like his mother. Jung Ki Ho was saving up for sure, he hustled
from the students for bike rides or using his phone. He was quick to make Seo Mok Ha video.

After the video was made, Seo Mok Ha's dad was also abusive and beat her, broke her guitar and trashed her
room. She called the police but nothing came of it because the police officer is Jung Ki Ho's dad that is also
abusive. Later that same day Jung Ki Ho went to pass on the video file to Seo Mok Ha but she lost hope after
what happened with her dad. Jung Ki Ho took the matter in his own hand and submitted the video for Seo
Mok Ha. She won 1st place but also had no hope of going to Seoul for to meet with the Agency.

Jung Ki Ho told Seo Mok ha if her dad try to hit her again, she must come to him and he gave her a
MAP TO HIS HOUSE with instruction how to find his bedroom window. she escaped and found him and they
took off to go to Seoul. Jung Ki Ho called back the Agency and set up a meeting date and time as it was his phone
number he gave for them to call Seo Mok Ha as her dad broke her phone. They are on a Island so would need to
travel on a ferry to get to Seoul. While they waited, Jung Ki Ho friend and his dad saw them and told Seo Mok Ha's
dad his daughter was at the dock and he showed up there.

Jung Ki Ho planned to go to Seoul with Seo Mok Ha but he told her to go alone and gave her his phone, back pack
and all his money he saved up. He tried to stop Seo Mok Ha's dad from going on the Ferry but he beat up the kid
and went on the Ferry. Seo Mok Ha tried to get away but it lead to her falling in the sea and her dad fell in after her.
She appeared on another Island and stock there for 15 yrs and that's how Seo Mok Ha became a "Cast Away Diva".
The story looks and feel promising like it will be a very enjoyable story as the beginning has a very strong back story.

The youth actors did a great job in story telling and they gave their all in it. I felt the emotions from the abusive
scenes and after Kung Ki Ho learnt that Seo Mok Ha was lost at Sea. Its refreshing to watch and I look forward to
watching the entire series. I start with a firm 10 ratings as everything was flawless.

Update_ after watching Ep2 the big question is, did Jung Ki Ho change his name to Kang Woo Hak.
Seo Mok Ha was discovered by Kang Woo Hak after he followed his brother Kang Bo Geol to clean
up waste from one of the island which was not on the search list the past 15 years.
Upate_ Currently on Ep6 as it airs and the Writer is having fun with these episodes betwen Ep2-6
with guessing who is Kiho? It could be can be any of the brothers. The evidence lean to Bogeol is Kiho
but also some times Woo Hak has traits of KiHo but he lost his memory and can't remember anything prior
to high school. Only Bogeol and his mom knows the truth about Kiho's identity.

You can find love in another universe!

Finished watching this drama and enjoyed it alot. Sometime some things are not meant for everyone, there will be people who enjoyed the concept and accept it, while some want to be non existence writers that only watch dramas to write about it in a negative way because the story did not go their way. You can't re-write what is already set in stone. It's intentional what the writer wanted to give the bl fans. I love this concept and the great story telling. This drama was a good production value, and the acting was on point. Happy for Jimmy & Sea, their characters found love in another universe! that is why it is Vice Versa.

Just Like The Title Says!!!

I only wish I had watched it when it just came out as its not on the main asian apps I watch these dramas. I love everything about this drama, from the beginning to the end it was just so good, one of the best modern day slice of life drama from China. The story, character development, chemistry with both leads was incredible. I am a fan of Yang Yang so I was not looking for anything less and the fl did just an amazing job, I love that they play games with an amazing career. This was the first Aerospace Drama I have watched and I learned a lot. If anyone looking for inspiration for a lovely drama with an overall balance of Love, Lifestyle and Career driven, then this is the show to watch. I know there are some reviews might complain about simple things because they choose to see the negatives even though it weighs more on the positive side. Bravo to this incredible Cast & Crew.
PS. I love the FL wardrobe especially the sweaters & love the coat she wore at the high school reunion :)

Ride It, We In Control, Ride It Ride It!!!!! (This series is for MATURE Audience 18 & over)

While watching the 2nd half, I wish they gave more episodes to Prapai & Sky.
Their story could have being a complete seperate series but loop in Phayu & Sky
in it, just a longer version for both stories.

It also accrue to me that this is a pattern or habit the writer MAME use to induce these trauma
scenes in all her novels, It’s not necessary to keep adding it in all her work.
In real life if this may happen to someone you know as a friend or have dated,
you would help that person to get professional help, in this case there is no recovery period
for Sky, he did not tell his best friend Rain and held everything inside until Prapai came
along which he still had a hard time to accept that someone can still love him after all
what he experienced with his ex. They only needed to show what happened to Sky earlier
in the series then he would have healed by the time he met Prapai, the throwback came too
late and this is what disconnected me with my mix feelings.
The writer just needed to add recovery in her trauma writing pattern to have a smoother
story telling. Budgeting can also be an issue as well.

I watch dramas for different reasons, sometime it's because I am a fan of the lead actors or
like this I was just watching because
I enjoyed MAME work on TharnType and I was hoping she did not ad the trauma too much
in this drama which she sprinkled it in Prapai/Sky episodes then went for
the kill on the last episode and thats where it felt rushed and no atmosphere for a more
fluffy ending but the Kiss scene on the Balcony had a nice head tilt from Prapai and I can
live with that lol.

Favorite duo >> Favorite actor >> Ratings
For the most part of it, I enjoyed the series immensley.
My favorite part of the story is Phayu/Rain. My favorite episode was #12 with Prapai/Sky.
My favorite actor overall is Fort (Prapai), He has a good engagement with his eyes
and body posture, it's just beautiful to watch him chase Peat (Sky) who also did an
amazing job playing a victim of abuse and enduring it to fall in-love again with Prapai.
Boss is the flavour and gave jaw dropping NC scenes and Noeul just went for the ride!
Prapai gave good care and attention to Sky and also had beautiful NC scenes!
I hope others can see some beauty in this drama and cheer on these first time actors on
this beautiful series. I rate it 9/10 since the beginning and will remain that way.
Overall It's enjoyable for the most parts. Totally recommend for anyone haven't yet
watched it. I love and wish them all the best Boss/Noeul, Fort/Peat ??

Writing 8.5/10 >>Direction 9/10 >>Cinematography 9.5/10 >> Production Value 8.5/10

Acting>>> The 4 main leads have done a great job on their characters, but some did
a little better and this is my score:
#1 = Fort portrayal as Prapai 10/10
He did an amazing job, very smooth, good eye engagement,
follow his sub and did a great job chasing him. His dialog were delivered flawlessly and great
body posture for framing. My favorite episode in the eititre series was #12, Prapai called
Sky from 3 different phones until he finally answered, the tears roled down on Pai's face
got me crying too, then the scene with the notebook he read out all what Sky wrote about
him, had me tearing up again, this whole episode was just so beautiful and Fort just embraced
his dialog and his eye engagement the most affective way that wheeled me in.
He just moved his body so alluring and the cameraman must have had a great time filming him.

#2 = Boss portrayal as Phayu 9/10
Boss is the reason this Series ratings went up! he gave us a beautiful and yet provocative
NC scene and his sub just went with it for the joy ride, I am guilty to rewind multiple time
and Boss did that to us. The reason I took off 1 point because his eye gave did not melt me
as much as Fort but came close. He looks like an Anime, you just need to copy & paste.
I think the director had way too much fun directing their love scenes cause I sure enjoyed
watching him.

#3 = Nouel portrayal as Rain 8.5/10
Nouel was feisty but fun, he was also very brave and fun to watch.
His dialog were the funniest and laughed alot because of Rain. Rain thought he
spotted Phayu first in the Rain scene but, but that was not the first time Phayu saw
Rain and I loved how Rain played the role of pursuing Phayu but only Phayu knew he
was the one that actually lured in Rain to his world.
I also loved the chemistry Rain & Phayu had. Again the camera must
have had alot of fun capturing that ride scene of Rain!!!

#4 = Peat Portrayal as Sky 8.5/10
Peat is such a babe, he truly played his character well, at first I did not understand
why his good mood changed to being moody but after watching the last episode
I understood he had alot on his plate. I gave him and Nouel the same ratings because
they played their roles simialar. The best episode for Sky was with Prapai after the
notebook when Sky cried and finally told Prapai he loved him too. BRAVO!!!



I will rewatch again! It's not for children, recommend to age 18 and over.

F4 Thailand IS A Good Modern Adoptation!

After month of putting it off, I finally watched this series entirely, I had it as plan to watch because I heard good things about the main leads Bright & Win but I watched them in 2gether first and that is how I decided to watch this series so Bright & Win got me this far. But what I discovered was another amazing Actor that debuted in this series Dew and he was the one I lached onto and ened up watching all 16 episodes. I had a SML syndrome just because Dew's character as Ren was to perfection.
He did an incredible job for his first drama, he tells the story with his eyes and he knows when to smile and with the right facial expressions. Bright did very good too but he had that smerk look his face almost all his scenes and that is the only flaw for his character as Thyme.
Win did a great too, he played his character very well and also MJ which I enjoyed the side story. Everytime the side story came on I was drewling for KFC! My start rating was 9/10 & finish rating is 8.5/10 only because the 2 half was not as good and there was many scenes that they did not get to squeeze in it. There was no getaway and that was one of great detail missing from this adoptation. It was not my favorite of the entire franchise but it was a good mordern story telling that the used with Social Media and loved that they addressed many issues which the bullying was the main thing but I think they haded too much of that and less funny moments. But I recommend to watch it and the opening OST is beautifully sang by F4.

One Of The Best Korean BL Drama In 2022! Wish It Was Longer

I finally completed watching this Drama I started watching when it first aired in Mid February 2022,
I did not have alot of time to watch alot of Dramas at the begenning of the year so I put this on hold and I am
so glad I finished watching it. This Drama is so freaking cute and wish there were longer episodes.
I feel that the writer was testing the waters with the style as it was more cautious with not over loading too much romance.
This drama is watchable for anyone into BL drama, it's also recommendable for first time BL fans.

The two MLs are opposite of each other, one is a fun and happy cheerful and handsome Designer while the othe
is a serious bossy type but cute and over thinks everything that he think the other lead is ERROR! ERROR!!
But the only error was not having more episodes, it was the right amount of everything. Sometimes watching these
clean romantic shows are just the ingredients we need to laugh a little.
My ratings at the beginning was 8/10 and after finishing I gave it a full 10/10
because the only Semantic ERROR was not making more and longer episodes.

Food, Romance & Some Humor

This was a beautiful watch for me, I enjoyed it a lot.
I discovered this Drama on Viki end of July 2022, I was looking for something
to watch that had a romantic fluffy vibe and after reading the synopsis, I started
watching, I recognized the ML(Gao Han Yu) from The King's Avatar and that was the first
time I watched him in a Drama. It was very refreshing to watch him as ML in this drama,
He connects well and know all the angles he is framed in on screen. The FL was new to me
but very received, she acted very well and the two had chemistry. If you are a foodie like me
you will love this show, if you are a hopeless romantic, it will put some spark in your day lol.
Just watch the show and enjoy it. It's a slice of life with a good balance of family, friends
work & romance! It does have an ex girlfriend/boyfriend appearing but it's not dragged with them.

A great Fantasy Drama!

I enjoyed watching this drama from start to finish, what I love about this drama was the ML style in collecting evidence to fight corruption and crime.
I watched it purely because I’m a fan of Lee Joon Gi and his execution of his character was beautiful played in every way. Many people watch a drama that is already written yet having their own narratives lol. Just accepts this for what was given to us. Maybe while all wasn’t revealed in this New Season1 because there might be a Season2 based on the ending. This is a Fantasy Drama and sometimes there is just no room to add romance based off the amount of episodes with many characters to cover. I honestly did not miss seeing any Romance even with such a beautiful casting. I enjoyed the action scenes and the the loyalty the ML had with his friends and work colleague to help him fight corruption and crime. If you are looking for romance it’s not the drama to watch.

I wish everyone could Live Their Own Life!!!

I have about 30 dramas I am currently watching and need to finish lol.
I popped on Viki and "Live Your Own Life" is promoting on the home page
and I immediately started watching it even though I had it in plan to watch
as this won't finish until march 2024. I miss Ha Joon after watching him in
"Destined With You", so that is probably why I did not hesitate.

I am currently at ep 5 but had to come on MDL to say how cruel that Aunty
is. Also the Uncle too but not as bad as Tae Ho Aunty. I can't wait to see how
Tae Ho bring her and accomplice down. The FL pisses me off with her annoying
family but come to think of it, she is the only one spending. The brother in college
is sensitive with minimal noise. he really has issues lol. Overall it's a nice Melodrama
to watch with far less entanglement than "The Real Has Come".... If you know!

I will update it along the way.
