Happy yet a bit sad!

Highly recommend this to all BL craze fan like me! It will take you on a wonderfully ride.
Story:
Prepare your heart for the ending though! Had me in tears! I was rather hoping for some miracle at the end lik all clichés! In that aspect it surprised me at every turn.
Acting:
I always adore ohms acting, he s one fine actor who can mold himself into any role, from his journey from wars, make it right, he is coming to me..his acting has wowed all. I specifically like how gentle, nice and protective he was as Khet.
Soda's char was done well. Pans char could have expressed herself more better, the actress has scope but.
The BL couples now, they did good. Way still has a long route to perfect his acting skills.
Music: was ok. Nothing i could think to mention.

Eye Candy Fantasy RomCom to quench ur thirst.

Well, I finished it! Yipee!, cant say I do it now a days..very evident by my trail of drops and holds!

Plot:  nothing new..but the execution and the small elements tat made it; was amazing.. a new take on old story..better than tale of nine tail. I loved the twist in Soo hung love story..that was "ha ha he"

Acting: each actor played their role beautifully..even the supporting characters made it oh so very entertaining..be it her studious fnd and her rival...be it her close bud and his romances..the third wheel in love triangle...the various guest roles...everyone played their part nicely adding to the grand story.
FL char development was very evident in how she s first scared of ML and later gets bold, honest & loving.
MLs cute innocent love for her but at the same time he s a gumiho and acts like one. His comments on "is this why I learnt magic" at FL or to himself was very realistic..the plot was taken as realistic as possible within given reasonings...

Chemistry was wow : And the man! Jang Ki Yong could kiss..their first kiss was my my...H.O.T....and ocoz he s cute n a freaking eye candy as the title goes!!

Friendship: wow I really envy the fndship and their interactions....FL Dam and her buds fnds Jae Jin and Soo Kyung ..our fox Woo Yeo and his lady companion fox turned human HyeSun. The cute rival between Soo Hyung and Jung Suk....the siblings Dam and Dan's...Seo woo n Sun woo.

What I liked:
1. I always hated plot where a powerful being wants to became punny human...oh come on!!!  I would rather u stay powerful and retain humanity.But this is one of the very few dramas where the reason for his wanting to become human was justified. And also, got us (furry pet parents) thinking! Very true...only humans have the free will to choose their own destiny..animals don't!!!

2. Dan n Dan's mom.. wow wat a classy lady..and their life motto...handle it yourself..ha ha..

3. HyeSun's innocence and taking things in literal sense!!!

Wat I hated: MLs monopoly of their relationship!! He never..I mean lik never says anything to Dam...I like that his fndship with Hyesun is old n strong.. am for it...but damn Dam is ur life partner..include her in ur closed grp sharing of 1 《Hye Sun》and decisions!!!

Music: can't say I even remember any...goes to say it not Catchy!

Overall: Give it a try, won't regret it..who knows u might end up liking it...I DID!!!!

SOUR After-taste

Story :

-Started out interesting, always a sucker for supernatural fantasy, I'm on if I see this tag.
-ShuangShuang Character was chirpy and positive...liked that about her. A gal after my heart, glass always HALF FULL.
- things were good until ep 13 before their breakup,as it started to drag so painfully, I started to lose interest clearly!!! Somehow I made myself watch until the end! Phew!!! That wasn't tough at all.
-Was not a fan of ShuangShuang bailing on the company and what followed but really liked how Wantian supported her, that was unexpected.
- God!! don't get me started on the annoying He Zhengchang! His hatred was too strong, I detested watching his scenes the most, even wen the past came to light, he still refused to believe !!!
- they could have placed Qi Tian's stories better (no offense,  I really liked how cute Qi Tian was), inserting it right when Qi&ShuangShuang's story was at its peak, was off putting!!!
-crap lines like ..healers are made to ease Espers pain , wen saving an espers life means ur own. What kinda power is that? Wats the use of ur ability if it can't be put to good use, without causing u major harm.
-what the hell ending us this? Did the writer forget the story lines in between and just wanted to push it to end??? 


On to ACTING:

-the FLs acting sometimes was ( like 20%); oh so really irritating and felt like she was over doing it at some points too!  Otherwise, she presented herself well.
-ML showed the right emotion at right instance, his execution of his character was well put.
- All the side chars (Kun lan, Qi Tian, Shi Lang, Wantian) did a good job given its their first assignment for most.

Overall:
Watch only if you want to pass ur time painfully, the after taste of this drama was some what sour!!!

What an EPIC disappointment!!!!

I have to say! Why ...oh why ..I have been waiting for MeanPlan aka TinCan story since the LBC. But ACL was like tap water compared to champagne LBC was!

This is gonna be a long review to vent my frustrations!!!

Let me start by the pain points!
#was not a fan of retelling the storying of LBC in this, so much screentime wasted! And the timelines were mixed too, making you confused & irritated.
#WTH!!! If Pete was not there, you could have used the technic you guys did with Tharn in last scence & Type in this. Jus pretended he was there without showing him.
But to show, Ae and Pete brokeup without clearly telling the reason why. I could only assume it was due to Pete's dad threatening to expel Ae. This contradicts LBC, where Pete's mom was so happy for AePete and dad was never in picture.
#hated to see a sad wasted Ae in first 3 episode...it was lik a laugh in front of the beautiful Ae from LBC.
#dont get me started on Techno&Kla's story, if u can call it that. They had little to no scene..I would have loved to see their love develop despite their start 《yup i know Kla practically raped No》.
#the unwanted side characters...I get that they wanted to promote their Ad partners but did u have to do it oh so painfully obvious ???
#Tul's yearning and love was shown well, even if i cant accept what he did, the ending for the brothers were put well.
#TumTar, dunno what to say... I have mixed feelings with how Tum ends up with his friend.

Lets come to ACTING!!!

--Only winning point was Mean's acting !! I gave rewatch as 2.5 just for him!!! ELSE WOULD HAVE GIVEN -1
--Plan was good but when it came to intimate scences, even if Mean carried his part, Plan ruined it. Their chemistry was so better from LBC, but if only Plan had corporated a bit with Mean. This could have been an Unforgettable couple! Their Kissing was a huge let down all contributed due to Plan.
--loved Tul's aka Meen's acting, he looks so cute..cant believe he is jus 21...looked so matured in his role...will be waiting to see more of his plays.
---great disappointment: Techno's acting...what was that? Did he get worst than LBC?

OVERALL:: did not have the essence or magic of LBC...a lame try!!!!

Fluff fluff romcom where the CAT never grew up!

Wow, the most amazing thing is.. the cat never grew up, the leads fell in love, got married, shot a movie.. still the cat never grew up!! Miracle...lol

Jokes apart..a really wholesome drama, with no holes...i loved Director Lu and dingding pair the most... so freaking cute....

Liked, there was no anaconda or vipers, no secondlead syndrome or love triage.. really respect Hua's expression of "mixed feeling" for his sister... that was done real well and not a messy "i lost the gal i loved, now i turn into vinegar pot "

Beautiful shot on Dingdings first kiss being her first true love!! Cute..real cute!

Beauitful parents... lovely brother-sister relationship, all in all ..i could say, i did not do any skip or 5x moment... which is a big thing.. as i now officially the queen of drops..you could see that from my "currently watching" list. Lol

Acting was to the point, all sequences were done well.
Most rewatched was LuDingding pairing... i really liked their romance!!!

Clichéd story with new faces

There is nothing new or exciting about this story.
Same old drama where one childhood fnd has a long time crush on the other.

Ben is a online seller graduating in computer science after 8 yrs of struggling. His parents want him with them in US but they strike a deal where his mom gives him 6 months to prove he can live on his own in Philippines.

About this time Covid hits and his job application is at risk.

He loves baking and would lik a carrier in that.

Now enters the other lead, Jim, a famous tiktoker, successful car workshop owner who business is booming. Comes back home during the lockdown.

Olan, is the delivery guy who helps Ben courier his products. He likes Ben and is not shy about it.

Leo, a toxic ex-bf of Ben is stalking him, who happens to be self destructive.

Ben rekindles his love for Jim, they get close. Jim has a girlfriend Yana but gets jealous of both Olan's affection towards Ben and Leo constant request to get back with Ben.

Between all this. Love happens.

Now comes the twist, their dads had an affair and Jims mom died of heart attack due to this.

Leo blackmails Ben to breakup with Jim, drama drama, cry cry...

As all PG-13 movies, the grand gesture...the sorry card and truth moment (ofcourse in front of the camera since what do u know..the whole world wants to know!)

The lovers get together..happy ending...

Eye Candy Lead Couple

Let me start with good things i liked about this series

..ML and FLs trust and love with eachother.
..Beautiful honest naive fndz ML has, the way they were accepting when they thought Lu jing was dating another guy.
..Qi Qi and Gu Fei mings story, how completely innocent n stupid he was.
..no viper or Anaconda like characters..well Meng lan zi was really harmless and funy.
..loved how Jia Yun was very understanding and a true gentleman.
..love smart Leads, but Lu jing was mischievous nd naughty too. A plus;)
..how both MLs and FLs parents and family were so supportive and accepting.
..yup, cringe worthy moments.
..last but not least...THE CHEMISTRY!! DAMN WHEN 2 HOT PEOPLE ARE SO LOVING TOGETHER..ITS SOOOO SOOO SOOO❤❤❤

Well the coin as 2 side..now onto the bad bloods.

...could not connect with Shan shan and Taro's love, i actually skipped the scene in last few episodes and saw directly the end parts
...Shan shans obsession with her EX..that felt too much a drag..yup, he cheated u and took ur song. Thats no reason to lose ur identity and dreams. It shows she valued herself very less.

Story: nothing new.
Acting: spot on.
