Food and Music, Giving Me Butterfly in the Stomach

This drama is so unique, and so breathtaking. Unlike another dramas where it's just a simple love story between CEO and cinderella, with family conflicts and third wheel, this drama hit differently.

This drama told about Mo Qingcheng, who was a doctor and dubbing actor. He also known as Qiang Qingci. He fell in love with Gu Sheng, a student who was also a composer. She also known as Sheng Shengman.

This drama was very simple. Mo Qingcheng fell in love, and he pursued Gu Sheng. He was such a green flag! He can cook, a doctor, doing dubbing, and singing. Being him is so tiring in the real life. He cared about Gu Sheng, and also an attentive boyfriend, which what I liked about him.

The music was superb! I like all of the songs, and also liked the food presentations in the early episode. So mouthwatering and delicious. This drama told all in one about dubbing, food, and music. This drama is a simple watch. Both Mo Qingcheng dan Gu Sheng's interaction gave me butterfly in the stomach, especially in the early episodes. Both of them were so shy, just so unexperienced, and so relatable.

A Mature Story With Adult Problems

Unlike any other dramas, with CEO and Cinderella tropes, this drama hit differently. You Are My Glory is a drama that told about dream pursuing.

At first I didn't really like Yu Tu's attitude, where he again and again rejected Jingjing. He clearly liked her, okay. But I understood, because he felt so inferior. Jingjing was an actress, money for her, was just like water. Yu Tu, in the other hand, struggled with his life. He was afraid if they were together, Jingjing had to suffer. And therefore, he chose to reject her again.

In the end, I loved how the story progressed, how he found the courage again, and found that without Jingjing, he could't go on. Jingjing was his glory, and for Jingjing he was also her glory. His courage to pursue his dream despite all of the disturbances, was her glory. This story was dreamy, and fun to watch, with so many fluff and sweetness to the end of the episode.

Fluffy, heartwarming story

This is a liveaction of a manga and light novel with the same title, but as someone who didn't read nor the manga and the light novel before, this review based entirely on my impression about this movie.

This is the best movie so far, in 2023 for me. At first, I thought this is just a romance movie, hence when I saw the grotesqueries in the beginning, I thought I've clicked on the wrong title ?.

This is romantasy movie. And full of fluff. Kudo acted like jerk at first, but he redeemed himself in the next day, and he apologized. He's such a green flag!

The movie is a bit fast paced, and I found that their story is a bit rushing. In a blink of an eye, Kudo already cared for her, just from her hands and tears, for me. But their chemistry is truly amazing. I loved how he just burned the house just to find Miyo, I loved how he cared for her, gave her a house she deserved, long long ago.

I didn't really satisfied with the ending. The emperor is such an evil guy, I hoped more bad ending for him, but well, he was already on his deathbed. I shed tears, also, when Kudo use his sword to his comrades. In the end, it's only his life, or his comrades. The story is beautiful, and so Kudo and Miyo's heartwarming story. In the end, Miyo got all she deserved.

This is About Moving On, and Letting Go

This drama told a lot about mental health, and how we can face them. In this modern society, stress has been a common topic, as we can see people did suicide almost every month. Anything can induced stress and trauma, and this drama told a lot about it.

Case by case, we can saw in the end, what we really need to do is letting go and moving on. Past is already past, we can't do anything about it. Dwelling on it only gave us the anxiety and stress. We deserved a lot more that it.

Gong Jun and Qiao Xin portrayed their roles in this drama so well. Their chemistry was so good, and they are so cute together. I loved how they solved all the case, and how in one of the case, they explained that as a counselor, they could't mix their personal and work life. We can learn a bit about hypnotherapy here, and how it can helps us. And more importantly, this is about mental help. Seeking help is a must, because the only people who can help us is ourselves.

A Short Watch

A short story, just to fill your spare time.
I wateched this drama without so much expectations, and it turned just okay.

This drama told about Xia Tian, a little actress, who for money, acted as a long-lost heir of a business empire. She and the male lead, Ji Chengxuan made a contract in order to deceive He's grandfather.

Both of the lead has rhe chemistry. The looked like a natural couple. I loved the depiction of the female lead, lonely and helpless, yet tried to very brave and diligent. Both of the lead has their own flaws, they're not the kind of perfect lead whom didn't have any mistakes or shortcomings.

What I didn't like about this drama probably the ending. That kind of plot twist is really annoying. They can presented a happy ending, or even sad ending, and here it is. They didn't choose both. And also, the story is simple. A typical common plot, with evil female and male second male lead. I understood second female lead's reasons, but I still hate her though.

But overall, the depicition of the female lead story is really good. I can feel her helplessness, her sadness. And I even can see the male lead as her only family at her worst.

A Growth

I got hooked with this movie. Although the romance scene is so few, but what's interesting in this drama is about the pilot's life. Everytime we are on board, we've never thought about pilot dan crew members' hardship.

This drama told a lot about Cheng Xiao's path into being a Captain. At first she is too headstrong, almost nothing can break her confidence. Later, we saw her slowly matured, slowly accepted all opionions about her shortcomings, and how she became better and better.

I didn't really like Gu Nanting's character, even until the end. At first he rejected Cheng Xiao, beacuse of his guilt about Ni Zhan's sister death. I thought he would change, but even until the end of the episodes, he was still the one who shouldered everthing, never talked about his problems. I thought it would be better if he changed as well.

Anyway, this movie is so realistic, covered so many cases and realistic problems, made me on the edge of my seat, especially about the plane's cases.

A Short Movie to Watch

I came across this movie when one of my friend mentions this. This movie actually just a short, romcom and easy movie, when you can finish them in one watch. This movie is refreshing, without any conflict and major plot changes, therefore so easy to watch.

The movie just told about how Risa agreed to be her ex's wedding planner, an unforgettable ex one, and in order to completing this event, she had to ask a favor from her another ex—Tim. There not much setting in this whole movie, just about how Risa planned an Indian theme wedding only. There are several plot holes, like why she chose to be in India that long, and the way she changed her mind into loving Tim is a bit abrupt.

But overall the movie is so easy to watch, we didn't have to think too much, or felt angry with third parties or so.

A Slow Burn Romance

I came across this drama, because I've taken a fancy with chinese medical dramas lately. This drama is really a slow burn one, when Zeng Li and Ai Jingchu slowly getting known each other. The first episodes, for me, is still okay, where both of them interacted like a newly fell in love teenagers. They were shy and cared for each other.

I watched it until the end, but I can't bear the last remaining episodes. This drama, like any other typical chinese dramas always ended their problems with drinking, tbh I did't like this way of resolving problems. Like, they had misunderstanding, okay? Why did Ai Jing Chu had to be drunk rather just confessed his feelings. Zeng Li also had so many childish behaviour, when she was already 26, a bit unbearable for me.

But overall, the story was really sweet. I loved how both of them are so compatible, and how Ai Jingchu cared and loved Zeng Li. Other couples are so cute, too. They had their own love story, which I enjoyed despite some flaws.

A Warm Story

What I like about this drama is the story. This one tells about Si Qing, who neglected by her family since young, and her only need is a warm family, a house where she belongs to.

I understand Si Qing's feelings, because as someone who's from a broken family, what they wanted aren't a big house, just a small ones, when their loved ones accompany them through their days.

Although I didn't really like Jing Chen's personality, he's such a person who always put himself on a pedestal. I dislike his action through the series, how he got his revenge for Si Qing to Xiao guy. I thought he was just adding a problem for her, and he really can't do anything for her other than cooked warm food and gave her a warm house. He did have his own aspirations, and make through it in the end.

Anyway this one is a short, warm story. I loved how they are always for each other, how Jing Chen gave Si Qing a really warm house, warm food, and a love she deserved.

Song Yan's Rescue Scene is the Best

I really loved the rescue scenes in this drama, where Song Yan showed his determination to rescue as many people as he could. For him, lives does matter. This drama also told so many ups and downs being a doctor and firefighter, which I appreciated a lot.

When I watched the last episode, I suddenly teared up. I thought of a sentence, "In the end, the darkness will gone, and the sun will rise." Yan City after the storm, how the people, together, built their city again showed how we could pass all the difficulties, and in the end, everything would gonna be alright. This scene also showed the humanity, when even some not really likeable character can help the others.

Despite the very low rating on Douban (only 3.3) and so many controversies during its airing time, for me this drama is definitely a good watch.

The Most Green Flag ML In Drama World

I came across this drama from a short video, and I didn't regret watching it. This drama told about Han Yi Joo, whose given a chance one year back after being murdered by her stepmother. This time, she vowed to take a revenge against anyone who harmed her in the past life. To do it, she married Seo Do Guk

Seo Do Guk, is a really green flag ML. He cared for Yi Joo. Knowing she feared food because of past accident, he tasted all of her food, and he cooked for her. He gave her a bigger room than she had in her parents house, and gave her love she deserved.

This drama is so light, but didn't mean it didn't have any conflict. The conflict solved rather quickly, so we didn't get curious that long. Both leading actor and actresss had a good chemistry. And from this drama, we know that Yi Joo got happiness she deserved in the end.

Love comes from seeing deep into other's soul

Because this is a Thai drama, this drama didn't have a good CGI. There are some scenes where I wished could be used a better CGI. But unfortunately not.

What I liked from this drama is the chemistry from main couple. They're soo cute together. The storyline is good enough, with Thai and Indian culture, such a unique drama. You won't regret watching this, as you can see Thai actress wore Indian saree, such a mix of beautiful culture. What I didn't like is the second couple screen times is as much as the main couple, I longed for the main couple moreee, beacuse this drama is more focused to the mystery than the romance, at least for me.

Family is Important

Dine is Love is not a drama where's man and woman fell in love, and then a third party came, and they reconciled. This is more than that.

Dine in Love tells about Yu Hao and Su Kelan, how both individual with two different goals, and two different paces of life, got together and decided to pass all the differences.

Although I didn't like Yu Hao's personality during several first episodes, I still watched the next episodes, just because how they presented the food beautifully. And in the end, I fell in love about how this story tells, about Su Kelan who loves her mother more than everything and Yu Hao who loves his carreer. I love how Su Kelan thought that family is everything, because once you lost them, you can't get them back. You can find a new job if you lost them, find a new car if you broke them. But if you lost your loved ones, you'll never had them back.

This story tells about how both of them renconciled their differences. About Yu Hao whom slowly repaired himself, gave Su Kelan what she wanted the most, not what he wanted the most.
