Satisfying short drama

Got time to spare? Try these short drama. As someone not into romance, this is good.

These actresses weren't known to me but they portrayed their roles very very well! I was able to feel the difference in vibe even after the face swap. (This is hard to nail. I've watch a couple of personality change dramas and I can say this is so far the best.)
Amazing for those 2 NEW actresses. Actors were good too like the general and prince. I dunno but the general gives me Ren JiaLun vibe and at some angles, I see their similarities.

Nice costume and production quality. Obviously not draggy. More appreciation for new actresses and actors.

the problem isn't just her acting, at worse she's just flat, but her character is trash..
she approached taeoh first and flirted with his frozen heart, but "he's too poor" and she rejected inho and didn't drag him along but "he's too rich"..
at least she could be genuine to inha, but instead she plays both and she's not worth either..

this drama is like my country, both boys have an objective, their friendship is built on the common need to use one another, it's toxic, but it's power struggle..
and the romance is forced in to soften it and appeal to girls..
but gen z's don't even reject both and brood, they want both and blame the guys for it..

An Endearing, Heartwarming Romantic Comedy Indeed!

“Who is She”- I was stuck by this odd question when I saw the interaction between O Mal Sun & Kim Ae Sim.

What happens when a yesteryear’s star meets a older lady who desperately wants to sing her debut single? A modern retelling of the popular film “Miss Granny”, “Who Is She” focuses on Oh- Mal Soon, a grandmother who magically transforms into her 20 years old self; the only glitch being that her younger self looks exactly like Emily, an aspiring trainee at Unis Entertainment who has gone missing, just days before her debut. The premise did remind me of “Miss Night and Day” where the protagonist transforms from a young lady to an older one. “Who Is She” uses reverse transformation, but the base concept does sound similar. Oh- Mal Soon wanted to be a singer, a dream she shares with her granddaughter, Choi Ha Na. As she gets a second chance to pursue her dreams, the show will focus on her personal growth as she reignites her passion for music.

cringe worthy cliche primitive drama, lowest production/writing quality

I write it because here are only good reviews what made me start this drama, and I regretted to waste even 1 hour.
I haven't saw something so cringe worthy for long time, it is cheep primitive story/writing and even worse production - I even thought it was 80-90s drama, then checked and it's 2017... how can it be made in 2017 ?!

characters and acting is also bad and unrealistic, even makeup of the vampire is cringe (why does he have extra long eyelashes and tier like black lines, couldn't understand, and overall he looks like 90s barbie toy)

I started it, because someone wrote recommendation as good love triangle, but how can it be good, when story and acting is soo bad and unbelievable, so cliche... So watch it on your risk ))))

I have mixed feeling for this. I love gemfourth so much, but I dont have high expectation for this remake actually. When I saw the first two ep today, Ive been thinking which thai actor fit the main lead position. But no one suit them. Japan ver set very high standard for me, the charisma, acting and so on. Gemfourth still did great tho. Maybe bcs I saw their relation outside acting very clingy and playful to eo so I barely take it serious. For thai bl, actually just watch it for fun. Since this is remake actually I know this series has great plot and story, so its still worth watching.

Boring and cringeworthy acting

I have been binging ZLS dramas ever since I fell in love with her in LLTG. ZLS cannot even save this drama for me. I can't even get past episode 4.

The story is so dumb and the ML looks like a big tall kid and it's so awkward. His acting is so stiff and I just don't find any appeal with him. And the sound quality on this show is so bad!!! I cannot stand poor sound quality. I even tried watching on different websites to see if it was just VIKI, but it's everywhere.

So FL meets this guy by crashing into him on her scooter moped thing. She takes him into her home without knowing anything about him and starts caring for him. He catches her kitchen on fire, floods her house, etc. The thing that irritated me the most was when he flooded her house she was barely freaking out. The damage that floods cause is crazy! She should have been infuriated but instead (out of her good heart I'm guessing) cares for the ML because he's like having a panic attack bc of the water and then everything is pretty much okay after that. Like seriously.. the flood was caused by a damaged kitchen sink faucet and there was SO MUCH water LOL. How?! I think it would take a much longer time for it to get THAT flooded... and were there not any neighbors who saw the water coming out the door of the apartment? Zzz.. soo dumb.

There was another scene where he put a metal utensil in the microwave and it caught on fire. Then later on in another episode he suddenly knows how to cook and makes a rice cooker meal. Like bro... you know how to cook this nice little rice cooker meal but you didn't know not to put freaking metal in the microwave? Even if you're supposedly so rich & don't use microwave at home, it's universal common sense!

Just too many things irritating me in this drama. It was also poorly paced in my opinion. I'm all for slow burns, but this was almost moving too fast in my opinion. You barely know this guy!!! AGHHHHH. Okay I'm done.

I'm here for Gong Jun.

From suspenseful to stale.

My first impression isn't all that great. The first 15 minutes told me what I hope to expect from the drama and the last 5 minutes said, "But we'll throw in a few cliches and annoying tropes."

It's okay so far; nothing special. I liked Gong Jun's acting (of course) and it was nice to see two familiar faces—Luo Yi and Wang Zi Wei. But the FL and SL don't look like they'll be my favourite characters.

But this drama might shape up to be a trainwreck. I learned very early to trust my instincts about dramas... I'm gonna give it 4 episodes. Although the action and rescue scenes are good, those aren't the only things I should be watching the drama for.

Also, try not to watch this with a critical mind... This drama doesn't take itself too seriously (imo).

Wasted potential

I was waiting for the series the moment i sae the trailer but this one was a let down. Honestly. There was potential in the story but somehow we received a half baked thing. The one thing i liked about it is the settings, the school and everything surrounding it. It was visually good.

Now coming to the acting. The FL completely runined the series for me. She had a single expression in her face the entire time by the end of the series i just had it with her, she was getting on my nerves. The other cast members were ok. I did like the He Ra's character. She was the only likable person in it.

The love triangle. Tell me why the male lead fell for the female lead again. Cause she road on his cycle 2 times?? The was zero chemistry between those. The whol love triangle felt forced.

In conclusion. This series is not worth your time

I'm afraid that as thai lakorns go, their quality is actually higher when it's just comedy, than when they aspire for any "crime line" for real. This one might look hilarious at the beginning scene, where dramatic music is used filming a guy drawing out a... gun? No, a camera!:) Pitty they didn't stick with that, soon we watch a "real" gunfight like in any other lakorn and the entertainment of it actually drops. Aum Patcharapa is not so young anymore. Her doing the screaming girlie and acting silly is not endearing anymore. She keeps shouting and barking at each other with 7 years younger Weir, who nevertheless isn't 19 years old, either. I wondered if at least these actors still enjoy shooting such scenes that make them act like annoying pair of loud whippersnappers? Because I'm tired just watching... and listening. Seriously, if you have someone whose head is not aching at the moment, make them watch regular thai lakorn, it would begin to ache. If you have person who already has a headache and you make them watch, they might drop dead, lol. I for one definitely set my volume way lower beforehand just every time I'm tuning into a thai series, by now:)

Dropped during episode 2.

I went in with pretty high expectations for this since it was a spinoff of Because of You, which was a good drama to watch. However, it is a spinoff so its quality and scriptwriting and acting are all pretty bad compared to Because of You. The main leads look good together but their acting was hard to watch. The plot is also pretty cliche and cringy to watch most of the time. It's all pretty predictable. They don't live up to the name of Because of You. I would not suggest watching this if you think it'll be as good as Because of You because it is disappointingly not. Unless you're bored, go for it.
