Comfortable and slightly emotional watch

BounPrem was arguably one of the strong Thai BL couples out there. In this series, they have proved once again why they had to have their own story after "Until We Meet Again".

Admittedly, the script writing could have been better but I'm all here for their strong chemistry and acting skills.

I just wished there were less other couples to watch. They could have stick to the romance of our main and second couple but to add three more is just too chaotic and unnecessary. I honestly have to skip these scenes as it seemed like it's just a filler, which made it boring and dreary.

If you enjoyed watching UWMA, you'll definitely do so with Between Us, that is, if you can forgive some inconsistencies in the story line, overlooked the unnecessary side couples and just mainly focus on the romance part, you'll get to appreciate this series too.

Action speaks louder than words_A true GEM

If you're a fan of BL like me, "The Untamed" will definitely be on top of your favorite list.

This was my first ever Chinese drama during the pandemic and I didn't know what to expect when I watched it. Little did I know that this was actually a live action of the anime version of Mo Dao Zu Shi, which is one of my favorite anime.

For someone who have not read the novel, the plot was entertaining and exhilarating, easy to get immerse into. The combination of action, suspense, comedy and even the subtle romance will be a good recipe for an enjoyable watch until the end.

WYB and XZ were the perfect cast for the main roles. Their visuals, chemistry and acting skills added flair to the drama.

The ending may not be the same as in the novel or anime but after learning about CN's censorship, I don't mind it. I've loss count of the times I have rewatch this but it never gets old hahaha

A true masterpiece at its finest!

Decent drama with sweetness overload

This drama has been in my watchlist for a while now but only managed to finish it today. Maybe because I am not into games or e-sport of any sort, that's why I tend to put off watching it.

Admittedly, I find the first few episodes a bit dreary and has to fast-forward some of the scenes and episodes but once the story picked up and the romance becomes somewhat profound, thanks to the chemistry of both the main and second couples, I get to appreciate it.

The plot was uncomplicated, predictable in fact, and there was no toxic love triangle which made it a decent one in my books.

For a non-gamer like me, I have to admit that the special effects, especially the slow-motion portions of the battle games and its characters, was visually good, imho. If you're looking for a youthful romance, with little sweet kisses and cuddles here and there, this one's for you.

Love is sweeter the second time around...

Begin Again has been in my "To Watch" list for a while now but only got to finish it today. Thank goodness I did coz I actually enjoyed it.!

Simon Gong has been excellent in "Word of Honor", so I was excited to see his acting in a modern drama. As expected, he delivered. I am not familiar with the FL but she did great too. They both complement each other plus that adorable kid was so cute it made the story warmer.

I've seen a lot of this contract-marriage trope in Cdramas and more than half of what I have watched has been dropped coz it's cringey, awkward and most of the times, annoying but this drama hits differently. Although the plot may be simple and somehow cliché overloaded with predictable ending, you can enjoy this sweet drama too for its warm romance, good chemistry, acting and with a bonus - a lovable and witty kid who can steal your heart hahaha

Typical M&B romance

!! Beware !! Please leave your logic out the window when you decide to continue watching this, coz I'm telling you, there will be a lot of ridiculous, inconsistent and illogical scenes in the story that will make you fume and drop this 😂

Luckily for me, I did just that and I get to enjoy and finish until the last episode.
The only redeeming quality here, imho, was the nifty acting skill of Fan Zhi Xin... It was truly impressive and did justice to his character, the first time I have realized he has real potential.

Watch this purely for romance (if you have time and patience) and just go with the flow. 😉

A surprisingly enjoyable drama

I have watched ADWTF on a whim after dropping one other Cdrama. Tbh, it was a really slow start - had to fast forward some scenes but once it warmed up, I can't stop watching.

The story line was not something new, but it stood out because of how intense and realistic the rescue scenes were compared to the other dramas with the similar plot. My heart was literally pounding the whole time in ep. 32 and 33 during that major fire and rescue operations!

You want great chemistry? You got it here.
You want some comedy and action? You can also find it here.
How about lovable side characters? There are plenty here.
Intense, heartbreaking and emotional scenes? It's there (but on the later eps)

For those who are wanting a steamy romance, sadly, this one is not it. Though this drama did not lack the romantic element, that one can still enjoy, the kissing scenes were kind of a disappointment to me hahaha It's either a peck or just merely touching of lips for a few seconds. (I guess I was just spoiled coz in Hidden Love and FITYS, they were generous in this department, lol)

Overall, I did not regret watching it and will still add this drama to my rewatch list. There may be loopholes you'll notice here and there but who cares? Go watch it for the romance and action, like I did.
