The Forbidden Kingdom is a fun-filled martial arts adventure that pairs Jackie Chan and Jet Li in a unique East-meets-West fantasy. The film’s strength lies in its thrilling action sequences and the undeniable chemistry between the two legendary actors. The choreography, courtesy of renowned stunt coordinators, is impressive and showcases both Chan’s and Li’s incredible skills. The whimsical plot, centered around a young American who travels back in time to ancient China, provides a fresh twist on classic adventure tales.

However, the film’s story can feel overly simplistic and somewhat predictable, especially for those familiar with the genre. The dialogue and character development are often shallow, which can detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the film’s pacing occasionally lags, and some of the humor misses the mark. Despite these shortcomings, The Forbidden Kingdom delivers enough high-energy action and nostalgic charm to entertain fans of martial arts cinema. Overall, it's an enjoyable watch with memorable fight scenes, Must watch and highly recommendable!

Just finished the series. As a loyal Kdrama fan, this drama was a beautiful addition to my favourite dramas. It was indeed a fun ride filled with twists and turns, I loved how fast-paced it was. It felt like it had everything a show needed, The twist after twist had blown my mind and heart again and again throughout all episodes. This series is the mixture of drama, fantasy, comedy, suspense, thriller and action. Full of crucial life lessons, realization and tackled different issues happening in our society even right now.(child abuse, bullying, corrupt law authorities, injustices, unemployment, not giving importance and enough credits to the workers etc) Also currently reading the webtoon version. So far, I personally prefers the series more than the webtoon (though it's just me, still recommending y'all to read the webtoon if you're interested, I'm enjoying it rn). The series has more depth and emotion put into each of the characters story and the whole plot in general. The casting for Yee Jae, his mother, Ji soo, Jin Tae, Jae Seop, Hyuk Soo, Joo Hoon, Tae Sang, Geonwoo, Death, etc... was too good to be true too. (I have a love-hate relationship with the casting crews, they're doing their jobs real good).

I really like Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young's chemistry, the story is so beautiful as well. I love their chemistry, At first they did not look good individually to me, but after I finish this, I wanted to see more of their dramas. Especially Seo In Guk. Hopefully he will do more romance dramas in the future.
The story is good but honestly, I watched the 2nd leads part in 2x speed. I wanted more scenes of the main leads. to be honest, after some episode I got bored because the story was to slow. The makers should have end the story in almost 10 to 12 episodes.
If you watch this drama from my point of view, this drama is actually good.
By the final episode, the drama left several loose ends, which were explained indirectly. However, the series ended happily, with Dong-Kyung defeating her illness as well as Myul-Mang being born as a mortal human being. The two vow to live happily ever after.

No kidding, this drama will forever hold a special place in my heart. It's perfect, a real masterpiece! It really hits you hard with its touching, inspiring, heart warming, heartfelt and beautiful story. The concept of this show was new to me. Honestly, It already caught my attention and captured my heart right from the get-go.
This drama deserves more hype! even though it is rather unrealistic for a middle aged adult to turn 18 once again, but it is still a very touching scene! like it portrayed how the dad did not understand his kids well in the past due to the age gap and also mostly because of work which made him have no time to spare for the kids. however, when he turned 18 he became friends with his children and started to understand them better! which made him realize that how much they all needed a dad just like a friend.

NO regrets at all, this series makes you realize many things about marriage, parenting and friendship. In every episodes, there would be always a scene that will make your heart melts.

Every scene were perfectly and wonderfully executed so much you will find yourself so focused. As for its soundtrack, I must say, it didn't disappoint. The OSTs really brought the emotions and feels of every scene. Also, the casting from main leads, to supporting, and even on the cameos were so amazing that I can't imagine other actors playing the part. Each of their performance are laudable and commendable, it deserve more accolades and praises. Lee Do-hyun, Kim Ha-neul and Yoon Sang-hyun's acting complement each other.

What made it more the best is that it is relatable, and I'm sure somewhere at some point, there are people who are also experiencing the same issues tackled here. Another good thing, this will give you many life lessons. I am so happy I came across to this such good of a gem series. Must watch and highly recommendable!

I don't have any words left to describe how beautiful this drama is.
Hats off to the story writer and the amazing production crew. Also a big round of applause to the actors who portrayed their roles perfectly. While watching the drama you can see and feel that the actors really became one with their respective characters.

Wonderful. Absolutely Intriguing. Perfect romantic-comedy. This show is so so much better than any other overrated shows. Storyline is perfect with perfect ending. Loved every part of this show from cast to chemistry from dialogues to filming locations and cinematography too. This drama is so hilarously funny! Watch it for a nice time of laughter with the really good looking young cast. Main actor Ahn HS is so handsome (in a Park SJ kinda way) ? did they have the same stylist? ?

I just finished watching Goblin today, It was an amazing experience. I got to know that never judge a book by it's cover. I can surely say that it is one of the best Korean drama ever, I watched till date. Definitely you wont regret watching it. I am in love with the each and every character in it. This drama consists of each and every element you are looking for whether it might be comedy, romance, action, suspense, love, emotions. Each and every scene in this drama is drawn with some feeling in it. Especially it has a lot of emotional scenes which are worth to watch it. Gong yoo has made an expectional mark in this drama with his acting skills. The writer has done really a great job, the whole drama just flows like a river by revealing the past very smoothly.

Absolutely stunning series! Get ready to laugh and cry during each episode. Best K-drama I've ever watched. It's very emotional, poignant, and hauntingly beautiful a Korean fairy tale of sorts mixed with an amalgamation of beliefs. Every lead performance and supporting performances are amazing.

I won't give any spoilers but enjoy the show for its perfect cast and their tailor made performances for their roles, the amazing ost and art work, VFX and more. This show would be a memorable experience for me to remember in my life.

Definitely go and watch this drama it's truly a work of art and perfection ❤ Must watch and highly recommendable!

Unpredictable twists & height gap

I recently completed watching this drama and somehow enjoyed this show. The first thing you'll notice is the extreme height difference, sometime It's felt like watching a kid with an adult but they are so cute, and the chemistry is great.

Story:-
The male lead has been stuck for 1000 s of year in the same house and cant leave waiting for someone to return ( which he forgot) who. The female lead moves into the house and she somehow possess the energy to recharge the male lead. He is like a ghost but not a ghost, He can move freely through the walls and become invisible but cant leave too far from home. The male lead also would sometimes get cold if he used up too much of his energy, resulting in the need of the female lead's touch to recharge.

Acting:-
The performances by the lead actors are commendable, bringing depth to their characters and making their emotional journey relatable. The chemistry between them is palpable, which adds a layer of authenticity to their romance. The supporting cast also shines, contributing to the richness of the narrative and providing various perspectives on love and ambition.

Visually:-
The drama is stunning, with beautifully crafted sets and cinematography that captures the opulence of the golden house. The attention to detail enhances the overall viewing experience, making it a feast for the eyes. The soundtrack complements the story well, featuring melodies that evoke the right emotions at pivotal moments.

Why 8.0 stars?
While Golden House Hidden Love offers a compelling storyline, it does fall into some familiar tropes and clichés typical of romantic dramas. Certain plot twists can feel predictable, and a few subplots could have benefited from more development, leaving some unresolved questions by the end. The resolution of key conflicts may feel rushed or insufficient, leaving some viewers dissatisfied with how certain storylines conclude. Some episodes may feel uneven, with a slow build-up that can test the audience's patience, especially during moments that could benefit from more dynamic storytelling. These aspects slightly hinder the drama from reaching its full potential.

So I rated Golden House Hidden Love a 8 out of 10 because, despite its engaging characters and beautiful production, it doesn't fully escape the common pitfalls of the genre. It's an enjoyable watch, especially for fans of romance dramas, but it leaves some room for improvement in terms of originality and plot depth.

Some Deleted Scenes and Bridal Photoshoot

"Our Secret" The best youth drama for me. A very realistic plot that surpasses other youth Chinese drama. The chemistry between Xu Mengjie and Chen Zheyuan is really really good. You will never get tired of it. TRUST ME! :)

Our Secret Extra is an special episode of the drama including deleted scenes from drama, some bloopers and Bridal Photoshoot. There was nothing special to watch in this episode except where Ziqi proposes to sha Di.

Overall the drama was quite good. I definitely recommend you to watch this drama, and about extra episode if you want to watch this extra episode, you can watch it as you wish. I don't love Extra episode much but I don't hate it either. It's more of a so-so.

Story:
I recently completed it and first I would like to stare my experience with you. the start was very good. A light cheesy comedy in fantasy genre to fill up my time. it as around episode 6-7 when it started to get boring. For some reason the script writers decided to focus on this power struggle of good/ evil which kinda ruined it for me. Remberary/ yeon woo cant catch a break. he is constantly fighting against devil's schemes and there isn't much time left for singing, dancing, practicing and other idol problems which made the comedy part in the first place. This drama started the first episode a very funny and hilarious start, even the fantasy part was like a part of a fantasy game.

Honestly at first I was really excited to start this because of Kim Minkyu but this show was such a drag. Episodes were so hard to get through because they never seemed to have a clear goal or whatever the goal was it was poorly executed. I understand that this is a fantasy drama however Idol storyline of the male lead becomes too unrealistic.
When I watched The Heavenly Idol I saw nothing but the land of missed opportunities. It looks like the creators don't have the concept of the world they're making, no wonder the worldbuilding contradicts itself all the time.

Chemistry and Acting:
It was very funny to see Rembrary become an idol. The acting was very good. The female lead did a great job too. The romance was cute! But the romance was very, very underwhelming. I don't feel like the leads had any chemistry at all, especially considering Kim Min-Gue's previous role in Business Proposal and how dynamic his chemistry was with that actress. The acting was well-done but they couldn't help what they had to work with. Wild Animal's members should had have more time to develop their characters to make the story stronger and I'd like to have the chance to see more cute moments between the main couple. Their chemistry tries to rise along the drama but fails to fully bloom.

I just completed this drama and as compare to other C-drama's which I watched until now, it was a bit lengthy. Well, I came to watched it because of the weird title. But it was worth it and I never regret watching it. This was a very powerful and heartfelt story of love that lasts because two people chose to love each other and took on each other's burdens and joys!

I love both the ML & FL together and their chemistry. You can actually feel the loneliness of ML as how lonely he feels. Even though he was acting it feels very real. I really like Ren Jialun (Gu Chuan) acting skills he has played an amazing character and Xing Fei (Xiao Ning) is very versatile actress. The man who thought that he had to live a short life and die alone and how he was changed by her positive and joyful persona.
Without giving any spoiler, I would like it if there were more Electric Man-style Scenes in this drama. Watch the drama if you're unaware of what Electric Man is. I highly recommend it.

This is one drama I highly recommend you to watch. I thought the end wouldn't be the great and I'll end up crying..? But its just amazing, I love the happy ending, it wasn't quite as typical. But I didn't thought it would turn like this in the end... It was happy and they do end up staying together!? I enjoyed every episode. And its really worth watching.

I just completed watching this C-Drama and I really really loved this show. I enjoyed the chemistry between the leads and all the member of team K&K... their dedication, responsibility, persistence and hard work is commendable?????? (specially Hu Yitian). It's literally worth watching. I think I have my feeling attached to go go squid. Though han shangyan (male lead) look had cruel expressions but honestly his personality is displayed as one of the best and most warmth characters. I genuinely loved this drama alot. I still adore this drama alot though its kinda lengthy in terms of c drama but honestly speaking If you watch this drama it would be one of the best rom com drama ever watched. Must watch!!!!!!!!.

In this show FL (tong nian) reflect outstanding personalities trust, love, responsibility, desire, support, temper, behavior and bonding towards her family and Han Shangyan.

Li Xian?, I'm really a fan of his acting and his good looks... he is a real gun god???. In Han ShangYan character he had the F*ck off face all the time, but because of his drop dead good looks?you can't get annoyed watching his ugly personality. He reflects best person through their character and inspire many adults for everything he did.
Here the love story is damn cute and lovable with all understandings. I just say what a outstanding performance by all characters... All the characters in the drama makes up to the main characters and makes you to not only watch for the leads but other characters as well

Short but Cute Romance

I just finished it in a day, it was short but beautiful one, after the Korean and Chinese dramas it was my first Japanese drama. To be honest I don't like Japanese drama that much but this was really good. what a cute, sweet romantic short series, I really enjoy each and every episode both ML and FL was literally a perfect soulmate.
Their chemistry was mind blowing, they really look good together, their smile, the way he teased her was really good and the way he react. I laughed a lot and enjoyed this series.

I agree the way their marriage started is not real (which is a negative marking of the series), but the way they showed a newly married couple, I liked that, all the romance, slowly knowing each other, starting to understand each other and all the stuff newly married do. If you like to watch the life of a newlywed couple or if you want to watch a romantic movie or something, It's really a size of a movie, then go for it. Happy watching.

Overall I would definitely recommend you this show. It does not 100% show couple love only but more towards a happy family love. I really love it.

This Kdrama is such a beautiful ride ? I watched and loved it! While obviously, the series doesn't exactly follow the same storyline, the essentials are here. It is a great mix of cuteness, comedy, romance and mystery. The ensemble cast does a great job of bringing this story to life, and the cinematography was amazing.

The chemistry between the leads is great and the cute and awkward romance aspect of the show is, I think, what makes it so fresh and enjoyable.
I recommend this drama to anyone looking for some cute romance, kind characters and laughs. Enjoy the ride!
