While this one starts off fun and exciting, it takes a really dark turn and ends without any real feeling of satisfaction. The cast was incredible. The music was great, but I actually woke up angry the next day after watching this because of that ending. I realize it's based off of a novel, but there was absolutely no sense of closure here. We follow the three main characters through meetings at different stages in life. There is a cute side romance from the supporting cast. A season 2 or at least another episode would have done wonders for me. All in all, disappointed.

We are 6 episodes in and I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up crying at the end of this one. Jang Ki-Yong is absolutely adorable and I can’t even with that smile. As a woman attracted to younger Asian men, I always appreciate when the older woman is pursued by the younger man in my dramas, and Song Hye-Kyo is both guarded and beautiful in her role. I’ve already teared up several times due to the storyline, so I’m preparing myself with a supply of Kleenex for the final episodes. *Side note, best wishes and safe travels to Jang Ki-Yong during this time as he completes his military service. I hope to see him return to film quickly.*

I really enjoyed this series. The cast is simply adorable. I have loved Title ever since TharnType 2 and Saur since You're My Sky. While I didn't really recognize he rest of the cast, they did a fantastic job in conveying their emotions and rounding out the characters. The storyline was definitely unique and interesting, and the screen writers did a great job keeping things moving in a timely manner. The music was okay, but maybe a little old fashioned for me personally. I really enjoyed the scenery and all the different parts of Thailand they helped us explore. While the makeup did get a little heavy handed a few times, it wasn't so overly done that it took away from anything. All in all, well done.

So Much Potential

First let's discuss what was good about this series. 1) Meen. That's it, there is no number two. This series had a lot of potential and teased us with so many things it flat failed to deliver on. Don't go looking for a second couple unless you count Ai's dad's (played by real married couple Porsche and Arm). None of the other matches we were teased with went anywhere at all. The drama with Ai's birth mother also completely fizzled out. Ping, bless his heart, he tried. He's so cute, but where Meen proved he can easily kiss boys with passion in his role in LBC2, poor Ping just isn't there yet. The storyline was flat and moved in and out of relationship angst without ever actually giving a sense of resolve to any of the issues. If you are just looking for a series to throw on while you play games on your phone, I can recommend this one. At least you still get to see all the pretty boys. However, if you are looking for something to really pull you in, don't expect it to be this one.

Well, Mean wanted it and got it. Congratulations on his main role in a non BL. With that being said, it's a shame because we can clearly see that all the big money is spent on BL series in Thailand. Non BL tend to come across as a bit cheesey and not as well written. On top of that, the OST, scenery, and directing always seem to be a step below even bad BLs (looking at you That's My Candy). With that being said, Peak and Mean did a good job with what they were given. The story is entertaining enough to keep watching and those two really are adorable actors. Also, on a positive note, unlike with BLs, our female roles are more rounded out characters who contribute more than just the comic relief or evil obsessed girl who won't let go. All in all this isn't a bad series of you have some extra time on your hands.

I really don't know how I feel about this series. It's obviously an older series but it popped up on iQiyi as Recently added so I figured I would give it a shot. The 1st thing I will say is that if you are expecting this to be a continuation of I Am Your King season one, it's not. Actually other than the fact that they both play the king game in the series, there is nothing relating the two seasons. It's different characters, a different storyline, different actors; there is absolutely no relation between season 1 and season 2. I don't feel like the acting was bad necessarily, it was really more of a screen writer issue I think. There were too many little plot twist that, while I did keep you guessing, didn't flow together smoothly. The most disappointing thing for me, however, was the ending. There was a lot of build-up and then I just felt robbed of a truly satisfactory wrap up to it all.
