Hats off to Shin Hye-Sun!!!

This drama is a gem! I know it's a remake from a Chinese drama, and it created a lot of issues but I really enjoyed watching the drama. Shin Hye-Sun is such a great actress! She is sooo good with her character, may it be her as Jang Bong-Hwan or Kim So-Yong, you'll noticed the switching of the characters. Other support actors did their parts wonderfully and convincing, including Kim Jung-Hyun as King Cheoljong. The scenes and their acting convinced me, and showed me how to react or what to feel upon showing needed emotions. I laugh, cry, became frustrated, angry and just simply entertained with everyone of them.

I really enjoyed this drama, and definitely would watch it again.

March 10, come faster please!

What a shame it was only part 1 that has been showed and we have to wait for several weeks to have a conclusion for Dong Eun's journey for revenge.

It was an intense, compelling, dark, frustrating, and beautifully written drama. For the first part that it has shown, it was really worth the Hype and SHK did it again. Her attack on this drama, is much different compared to her other roles and she really did a great job.

Kuddos for the entire casts, may it be the young versions of them or the present actors/actress, they gave their all for a stellar performance. They're too convincing as bullies and you really wanted to skin them alive.

I love her support system, and I do hope that Ms. Kang will have her "happy" ending as we all know she deserved it.

Patiently waiting for part 2, and oh! I'm rooting for Ha Do Young for Dong Eun but Joo Yeo Jung also deserves his happy ending.

I love this series! ❤️

What a great tandem, these two big star is. Chae Tae Hyun Appa as always gives me a warm feeling everytime I watch him on shows, specially reality TV shows wherein he has interactions with children. You can feel how caring, and loving person Tae Hyun is. Also, how he is as a father. In Sung Oppa is a surprise for me, I wasn't expecting him to be on a reality TV show, but then it is a gift for us who loves him dearly. What an eye candy he is. I love him!

I love the substories of every customers they encounter, the way they familiarised themselves with locals, and especially I love the owner of the store. Such a heart-warming and touching series. I enjoyed and treasure each episodes included in this series.

Also, their part-timers are really good and I especially love Bo-young as a part timer.

I want more!!!

I was really apprehensive in watching this very popular drama. I thought it was overhyped, over rated but then will be just a disappointment. But, damn! I was glad I gave it a try! All the ratings, hyped, and talks about this series are all worth it! It was sooo good! From the first episode until the last episode.

It's like you're on a roller coaster ride, you'll feel all kinds of emotion from watching this series. You'll laugh, giggle, elated, frustrated, get excited, angry, sad, wanted to kill everybody or a particular person, nervous, and keep you off the edge.

I thought those numbers of episodes would be tedious and boring to watch, but I was wrong! I wanted more of Ye Hua and Qian-quian's love story; their interactions, sweetness and just watching them together in one scene is just satisfying to see. As they deserved to have a happy ending. Also, I love love AhLi! I love that child!

The villains are all convincing with their roles, you can't wait for them to suffer and just wanted them gone forever.

Over all, will definitely watch this all over again. I will miss them all! So if you haven't watched it, better start now. ❤️

The things we do for love

I enjoyed watching the entire series. No dull moments, just some frustrating and wanted to pull your hair and slapped the faces of those villains who were mean to Fuyao. I love how Wuji's love and devotion for Fuyao breaks all the rules in order to keep Fuyao safe and sound. Fuyao's moral compass as well as her empathy with the people she meets and learned to appreciate and love is also amazing and admirable. Their acting were superb and fight scenes were all perfectly executed. Yang Mi and Ethan Ruan's performance here were superb and gives their own roles and characters justice. But I really appreciate Yang Mi here, she really did a good job here. I love how expressive her eyes are.

Just a bit confused with the ending, but thank Google for it. I was given clarity. Lol!

Perfectly imperfect for me!

I never thought that even though, with all it's flaws, lacking of some acting skills, and all it's fakeness, Legend of Fei grew on me. It is sooo endearing and feels like an old friend for me. I can't understand that even though with it's super fake props, feeling like it's soo low on budget, unconvincing villains that will make you laugh and scratch your head instead of feeling their nastiness and being a villain, still I enjoyed watching the entire 51 episodes. Maybe it's because of Zanilia Zao and Wang Yibo. I loved all the fight scenes and most especially when it's Fei and Xie Yun moments, they just looked good together, even though for me, they didn't convinced me that they're romantically involved on the screen, more on BFF thingy.

Anyway, it's worth the time to watch it and also, I love, love, love the OST! All the songs, fit the scenes and will give you the feels.

Oh how nice to be young, and in love! Worth the hype and time to watch!

I enjoyed and loved this drama, the story is cliché but the executions of scenes, acting, music background and even their clothes made it all worthwhile to watch it. The ML and FL is soo cute, sweet, striving, hard workers and just too good to watch. Their chemistry is really good, you'll feel the young love, the high school crush you felt when you were young.

The struggles related with studying, how to go to a key university, pressure from parents, jealousy from siblings (can't avoid favoritism), assignments, projects and deadlines to meet and submit.

Also, what happened with Ding Xian during the entrance exam is realistic, it really happens in real life.

They're too realistic, that gave me the feeling of going back to my high school days. I also love their friendships, supporting your friends in need and just simply enjoying life, love, and school all at the same time.

Also, I love their relationships with their family, it's soo realistic; which at times made me teary-eyed when I watched their scenes with their parents.

I also love how Ding Xian and Zhou Si Yue's wardrobe/fashion style, every time they're together in a scene, were they're wearing outside clothes, it is always coordinates. They will always have a touch of the same color of clothes. It is sooo cute and I always look forward for their wardrobe.

Over all, this is an enjoyable show, which gives a lot of take-aways in life, especially for students who are struggling in studies, that as long as you believe in yourself, giving all your best, never giving up, then you'll be able to reach and meet your set goals and dreams in life.

Why did I only watched it now?! I love this!❤

It's been too long since I last binged a Japanese drama. I am a huge fan of Oguri Shun, Takeru Satoh and many other Japanese actors, but lately I haven't had the chance to watch any dramas. Not enough to catched my attention, not until one of my friends insisted that I watch this drama as she has a huge crush on the ML. It's a good thing, I listened to her. Oh My Gosh! This drama is superb! Actors are fantastic, realistic, convincing and Sakura and Tsubaki's chemistry is off the charts! They really worked well with each other. ( their pairing). The MIL is a sorry character but really, she deserved what happened to her, she's such a good actress that you wanted to skin her alive, just to make you feel good. Also, jeez! Why did I torture myself to drool all over the traditional sweets of Japan? Deym!!! They all look sooo good and what a masterpiece! It's a waste to eat them as they look sooo picturesque. Anyway, you better watch this drama, you'll finished it quickly, and hope there's a season 2 or even a SP just to have a quick glance of what happened next. Hope it's not asking for too much from the casts, directors and producers of the show.

One of the best for me.

OMG!!!!! Definitely worth the wait watching this drama! This is one of my favourite novels from Mo Bao Fei Bao and the novel adaptation was perfectly done. They even enhanced it and gave more depth and details to each characters and scenes.

I love that this is worry free, no unnecessary dramas/conflicts nor misunderstandings. Just simply Dr. Mo waving his "green flag" and his pursuit of happiness with Gu Sheng.

Casting was perfectly done, with Tan Jian Ci and Zhou Ye as the lead CP. I love and enjoy listening to the OST as well as the mouth watering parade of food!

I love all the characters and their relationships. It's all about friendship, family, love and their passion with their dreams.

This is just fluffy, fluffy, cuddles, sweetness overload, and you'll definitely smile the entire time you watch them.

Try reading the novel, if you already watched this drama. Definitely a 100/10 for me.

Definitely Worth the Wait!

It is simply one of the best Chinese drama I've watched! The acting, story, the OST, scenes and just watching it blew me away. I cried ugly and happy tears all thru the entire series. I always have this hate relationship with Cancer, as my brother passed away battling that dreaded disease. And I love how they tackle it in this series.

I love the main couple: Dr. Gu Wei and Lin Zhi Xiao. I eill miss them. I enjoy watching the extras/bonus scenes at the end of each episode. I love Ms Li and Mr Lin, and Zhi Xiao and Mr. Lin's relationship.

I appreciated the character growth of Zhi Xiao, from being an immature daughter, having a fight with his father all the time, to being a responsible and mature person.

The OST is superb! I will never get tired listening to it.

I just don't like Zhi Xiao's BFF: Shan-shan. I know she means well, but most of the time, for me she is being over bearing and just too much.

Over all, I'm glad, I watched this series, and it's definitely worth the wait. I will definitely rewatch it again.

Do you think monsters are born or made?

"The world that created the monster, must take responsibility too" - Song Ha Young

I don't know why, but I aside from Mafias, the other thing I am fascinated with is and will always be are about Serial Killers and how they will be caught with their crimes. As what Ha Young always mentioned in the drama, "there's no such thing as a perfect crime".

This drama is such a gem, with the 12 episodes which is for me is not enough and I want a season 2 for more cases to be tackled by the team.

It shows that being a profiler is not an easy profession, it's not for the weak mind and heart, what you'll be facing are to things that too inhumane for our taste. How this drama showed that not all monsters are born to be that way, but rather they're end products of things done to a person. Like how a parent affect their child's life for their actions or decisions.

Kim Nam Gil is one of my favourite actors in SoKor dramaland, as he knows his craft well. He may be lowkey, but God! he delivers perfectly. Add Jin Seon Kyu and Kim Won Hae (who's one of my fave ahjussi) and other casts and boom! we have a great casting for the characters in the drama. Their acting is superb! What more with the actors who played the roles of serial killers! Jeez! they're too convincing and too real!

I think, the drama's trying to tell us that we always have a choice, whether we choose to be a monster or not is up to us, unless we're defected by birth which we would feel helpless to control it, then we should always choose to be a good person, inspite and despite of any circumstances that we face in our daily life. It may be easy to say, but life is always a struggle and unfair. It's just how we handle things that may or may not make a difference towards it.

Overall, it's worth to watch the drama, so if you haven't watched it, you should start it. But be prepared, as some things there are too disturbing and violent. The things that serial killers described their crimes are too much for a person if they're not used to these types of dramas.

When People allowed Greed to rule over them, this is what will happen.

"The evil world is in people's hearts. You can eradicate the Ghost Valley, but can you eradicate the greed and filth in their hearts?" - Zhuo Zi Shu to Ye Bai Yi


I was surprised that I enjoyed watching this series, I thought it was another hyped series and wouldn't lived up with it's "reputation" but then again, I realized it is worth the time, and tears to watched it. I loved it!

It was easy to watched it, amidst with all the side characters which most of them I forgot their names, and I just describe them to remind myself who they are, unless they're important., I remember them.

I love ZZS's moral yardstick in life, how he knew that what he did was wrong, and tried to correct it. As well as I valued how they give importance to brotherhood, camaraderie and just simply if you love and support a person, you understand and accept about him /her in spite of what he/she did in the past or present time.

I also love Gu Xiang, I didn't find her annoying and I am entertained with her character and how she and WKX loves and support each other, like a father/daughter, older brother/younger sister tandem.

I also enjoy and loved ZZS and WKX's bantering on screen and how they simply flirt with each other. The subtle hints, which shows they're noticing that they act as husband and wife in the long run.

Overall, this is worthy of your time, watching it. You'll have many take away from this drama, from showing how greed affects one's life, how wrong to be self-righteous without putting one's self from the shoes of other people, how important it is to be non-judgmental, whether that person did wrong things/acts without knowing what drives him to do it. And that revenge is a never ending circle if you don't know how to break it. It'll just lead you to a life full of pain, struggle and bitterness.

Interpreted and Adapted from the Novel, perfectly.

I was apprehensive when I learned that there will be a series of this novel, as I enjoyed reading it. I wasn't a fan of the ML actor, and was thinking of not watching this drama. But, I read a lot of positive feedback from this drama, so when it finished airing, I immediately gave it a chance, and I'm glad I did!

It was perfectly done for me. I love that they did a good job and enhanced the story from the novel. Characters were portrayed well by the actors. ML and FL has good chemistry, and felt all the needed emotions in each scenes.

Villains, were too convincing. You wanted to personally skin them alive. I wish the extra episode, could've been an hour long. Hehe.

Over all, it is worthy of the hype. I enjoyed watching each episodes.
