It was good until...

The drama start with a good start, unfortunately they can't keep it up untill the end.

Quite like the story development at first, everything run quite smoothly without much can be criticism. Unfortunately in the last episode, they kinda jump the plot until make me confuse & shout: "Hah!? How that's happen again..." I think we have missing scene that not included into the final wrap...

The story around 2 long separated friend that meet again in their adult age. The meeting evoke their pent up feeling & the closeness make the feeling bloom into something else.

I like how the story progress with Choi Jun (CJ) try to get closer with Lee Jun (LJ), with all of CJ's expression that we can see on his face. But at the same time, I got blank page from LJ. LJ sudden change in feeling toward CJ make me wonder how & when that happen....

Overall this only another drama that passed by in my days...

Why... Oh why...

This drama I can say one of the best wuxia this year. The complexity of the story, the beautiful character played by all the actor & of course the chemistry between the cast, make this drama so beautiful. But unfortunately, the ending make me want to cry.... & that's why I decided to lower the score a little bit.

This drama by far, one of the most interesting characters that Esther Yu ever played that I've ever watch. In this drama, we didn't meet the happy go lucky or cheerful usual character played by Esther Yu. Her character here quite gloom & serious & have layered. And I don't think that annoying voice that everyone bother about her voice can be heard here, i don't know if that's dubbed or not tho....

This drama tells story about 2 big powers in martial art, good (Gong family) & bad (Wufeng). Our ML, Gong Zi Yu (ZY) comes from Gong family while our FL, Yun Wei Shan (WS), comes from Wufeng. The story started with the chance Wufeng had to infiltrate Gong family when they open their door for bride selection for their young master who already come of age.

When the plot run, we got to know that Wufeng not only send one of their spies, but 2, with each have their own mission to be completed. And as the story goes, we got to know the character more & their own stories. But this drama not only about the spies of Wufeng & their own mission inside the Gong family. But the messy drama inside the Gong family itself.

The story began with the dead of the head family, ZY's dad & ZY's oldest brother, or you can say the heir. Without the lead & the heir, the elders in the family must decide to pick the next leader, and by all the luck it falls to our ML, ZY. ZY himself at first only one of the sons in the family that, you can say, the most spoiled young master in the family that no one expect him to be the lead. But all the sudden circumstances make all the elders have no choice but to pick him. That's why at first ZY must prove himself worthy to be the lead, especially to his second brother, Gong Shang Jue (SJ). But in the end ZY still our ML right, not only he proves himself worthy to be the leader, but he also proves his own true quality.

I really like the story & how the layered of the story peeled itself when the drama progress. The chemistry between the lead, WS & ZY, SJ & Shang Guan Qian, and also the funny Gong Zi Shang (ZS) & Jin Fan. ZS herself maybe the most interesting character here,Ii really like her shameless yet bitter attitude.

Overall, this really good WuXia drama this year. Without such ending I'll gonna give this drama much higher score....

Here we are again...

Seing many review write about negative thing make me want to write something.... Hahaha....

After read a bunch of the review here must be agreed with some point they all wrote, 7 years in the relationship don't make them be mature. 7 years in relationships don't make them learn how to communicate or talk about thing that important in their life. Just the steamy scene become much better... Haha....

Especially agreed with what yoonthethicc wrote in their review. The biggest problem that this couple have is the lack of trust they have with each other. But sometimes that what the writer did in all the drama, they make jealousy looked like what every couple must have, jealousy mean love sort of thing, without jealousy mean you don't love....

Yeah after read a bunch of review here I also realise this season gonna be better if they just focus on make their relationship better, instead give new characters that didn't help with character development, like Fiat & Leo. Ugh another toxic to the max couple we don't need in the drama.

Like many other i also like doc & champ. Although somethimes i shake my head how stupid champ can actually be...

What i like is the end when FINALLY Type talk about the problem in their relationship. But we can't really make sure will they be mature or not cause this is the end of our journey with Tharn & Type. And in the end i really think they cute couple & just can't bring myself to lower the score even with all the toxic thing that happen in this series.

1st part

Quite boring with usual drama, so I looked for a little bit mystery. Quite happy to find this, quick & fast pace mystery. Let's discuss...

This drama divided into 2 part with a little twist in the end that make me feel need to made review about, especially since no one discuss or made review about this drama. This first part talk about introduction, about the game, the character & at the end of this part, the connections between 1 and another.

The game in this drama quite interesting. They using virtual reality with simple VR glasses. Unfortunately we don't get to see how their body in the real world when they're in the game. Is it like the usual VR games where our body moving too or just stay put...?

The story start when Zhen Yu (ZY) want to find out the truth about his father incident years ago. One day he got a package that lead him to the game. In the game he meet several people that in the end become companion to go through the game & even friends in real life too.

In the game they become the detectives that need to solves the case. And every time they succeed the game they got clues about the incident years ago or where to check for the next clues. From that little by little they connect the dot.

This part end when with ZY finally know the relationship between him & Xiao Han. Oh I'm gonna talk about the twist in the 2nd part of this drama. So if you don't want to be spoiled don't read my review there...

OMG don't know where to start with this one. So many wrong thing happen in this drama, but also cute at the same time.... Hahaha...

This drama mostly about how your environment can shape you. We often hear how bad environment bad for you and good environment good for you. Well one thing for sure this drama really tell you story how your friendship really can shape who you are....

Let's talk about the good stuff first...
+ Like many many that already write here... I also really like the action between our boys. They're cute when nothing happen & all peaceful time. And that steamy scene also good...
+ Like Kate, I also like Techno. Agreed with her: 'He was one of the best written and most realistic ones.' And yeah that's probably because he is the only important role that have no trauma and mental health issues here. He is really one good friend.
+ The way Type own his mistake to his childhood friend, Khom
+ The very open minded of Tharn family. Especially the little princess, she's really like a baby doll, so pretty...

And i think that's probably are some of the good point that this drama have. The other is very very problematic....

The most problematic point already describe by Synchonicity & kate. But I gonna write again with my words....
- How the heck one traumatized boy fall in love & let himself be groped & have s*x with another man when the source of traumatic is a man... Yeah the writer take the issue of PTSD & rape victim too lightly till the point they don't care & still need to make this 2 boy fall in love with each other deeply...
- The missing friendship. Maybe just like Kate wrote, the writer need more than 12 ep to established our lead relationship first. We missing it badly. We need to know how tharn fall in love with type & the friendship begin at first...
- The MOLESTATION. How crazy the writer take the molestation easy & just make it into fluffy or even worse, romantic scene... What Tharn did to Type while he was sleeping is indeed MOLESTATION & it's never been ok all the time. Especially with the traumatized & PTSD man like Type...
- How can Type sleep peacefully...? If I'm Type, I have PTSD toward gay, & I know my roommate is gay, I'll not be able to sleep at all let alone sleep peacefully. I'll gonna be afraid what my Roommate will do to me while I'm sleeping, more over when I already know what he did to me while I'm sleeping, I gonna run as far & as fast I can. I'll gonna phone my dad the next morning to tell him that I NEED to move to outside dorm....
- Thorn is just too good. Until the end Thorn is just too good of a man. How can he easily forgive Lhong after what he did to his brother, yet alone face him calmly & still think he is his brother. And also with San, after what he did to his brother, Thorn can easily think him as a friend. It's all beyond makes sense for me.
- The ending. Or you can say LHONG'S ENDING. Yeah like Synchonicity, I also can't take the ending of Lhong that easily. He got away too easily & no consequences at all...
- The under age 'couple'. If this America drama, I think they already be charge with under age rape. The age when Tharn had sex with San or Tar with Tharn, I think you can say all still underage & the other partner already adult age. Yeah I know they make the age quite blurry, but when you do the math yeah I think you can say they're under age 'couple'.
- The jealous & ownship. Sometimes the writer make the jealousy part of the drama become something normal, like it part of the relationship that every couple must endure. But between jealousy and no trust is really basicly have no line.
- The childish & foul mouth of Type. Yeah even Type himself admit he has foul mouth. But the way he over & over hurt Thorn feeling is not OK.

Overall this one steamy drama with a lot of problematic issues .....

I should read the comment below first. Haha...

Ugh where should I start this.... This is one maybe the most implicit BL drama that come out China that I've ever watch. And I love every bit of this. Unfortunately this drama leave bitter sweet taste in my mouth with the closing curtain. What do I mean?? Well.... If you already read the comment below you'll know what I mean, if not just be prepared cause I'm gonna scream... Just a warning this gonna be BIG SPOILER ALERT!!! If you don't wanna know just stop reading my review then...









THIS A BIG *SS OPEN ENDING!!!! WITH THE CLIFANGER THAT MAKE ME WANT TO HANG THE DIRECTOR!!!!

Well if you read the comment below, you gonna find video from the director that tell they gonna continue this drama. But with BL or anything second season is just mean nothing guarantee & we just need to wait patiently for the announcement or the airing of the 2nd season. But for you who doesn't have patient, like me, to wait for 2nd season, you can find the book (Are You Addicted) and read for yourself. And I've read some of the first chapter, and got a bad feeling this will not gonna be continue. Still finger cross that my prediction is wrong & we can still enjoy the continuity of this drama.

The first question that comes to my mind after finished watching this, of course beside how come the director torturing us with such ending, is how come this passed the censorship??? But once again the comment just help answering "Released internationally only. Many censorship rules don't apply." With the biggest question in my head already been answered let we talk about what I like and don't like from this drama then...

What I like:
+ Oh I really like the chemistry of our boys Wu Bi & Su Yu. From curious to getting to know each other & to life time 'friendship' is played well... Haha... Really funny how they behave like little kids with prank and revenge to each other. And how they friendship finally bloom into something more. Haha... Really like the take on "I Love You... Ocean". Really one brave line from C-drama land.
+ What is family.... The lonely boy found the family in the place that he never expected
+ The cute Duo Duo. Haha... This little smart kids, really brighten the story.

What I don't really like:
- The mystery surround Wu Bi's mom a little not too clear. Yeah I know this not really about her story or Wu Bi family in the matter of fact. But with leaving the thread like that for me is not enough.
- The relationship between Wu Bi and his dad still not too good. Wonder how will the director take the direction from the book. Where the plot gonna be steer.
- Nothing more that just glance or subtle kiss on the cheek (still surprise by this) can be happen on our screen. Because you know... this is c-drama. Need to wait how Thai adaptation gonna take the relationship... Haha....

Overall I really like this drama. Even with such cliffhanger I still can't bring myself to give this drama lower score. Haha...

Another sweet story from Dilireba & Gong Jun... Very interesting for Gong Jun to get like reverse role from his character in Word of Honor, where WoH he's so flirty & here he more the shy one & Dilileba is the flirty one..

OK. Just like every drama this drama also have good & bad point. Let's talk about them. Oh BTW the bad point gonna write some big spoiler, so if you don't want to read just skip it then. But as usual I gonna write the safe review first.

The good part:
+ The chemistry between Gong Jun & Dilireba, I really like it. The flirty Dilireba match with shy Gong Jun is so good....
+ Good story that don't really bored you. Haha... There's always something happen when you think it's peaceful time already.
+ An Le & Han Ye really meant to be together. Hihi...

The not so good part:
- Everything just too pretty in the end. I don't know how to describe it, not that I don't like it too actually. Just too pretty...
- The stupid Luo Ming Xi (MX). Oh how poor of him. But that's the tragedy he bring himself.

Overall this quite good story to watch







The Spoiler part:
- I think the ending kinda rush in a way. There're 2 point in this actually:
* How easy to capture Leng Bei (LB). Oh how in the end he kinda just give up & surrender to An Le & MX. Not even try to resist & fight till the end kinda thing. That in my opinion more fit with the character of LB himself.
* How unimportant the death of MX. I know he died cause of his long time illness & something predictable. But after the weeping death of MX by An Le earlier, I kinda want to see something special about his actual dead Like at least give him proper burial or mourning scene...
- I don't know to put this into bad or good. They're just too clever. Haha... Like how to help An Le escape & how to rescue Wen Shuo. When both MX & Han Ye just still teenage boy himself is something extraordinary I think

One Relax Drama

Long time hesitate to watch this, but I'm bored so just decided to watch this drama. Quite happy to watch this drama in the end.

This drama tell story about Xu Hong Dou (HD) that just losing her friend & decided to take a break from life & just go to small town in Yunnan to relax. HD had plan to go travel to Yunnan with her friend, but since she died, HD decided to fulfill the promise & just go there. In Yunnan, Yun Miao village, like all small village, the community is closed tied & family related.
So aside from relax, HD also find new friend & new community or you can say new family and also not forget the love of her life.

What I like:
+ Really relax atmosphere. Like all small village, the time worked really slow & can make us feel relax & nothing in life is so important that you need to work your ass around...
+ The maturity of HD & Xie Zhi Yao (ZY). Like we know they love each other, but they don't rush thing & let the time take care of it.
+ The friendship that all the village create for one and each other.
+ The funny Granny Xie. Hoho... One more cute & adorable grandma in dramaland
+ They talk about the important communication between family. Like when Ma Qiu Shan & HD want to start business, they like having talk that whatever happen talk with family is important, not only when you already decided then you announce your decision.

Maybe from all of this the minus is only one. The times sometimes moves so slow... For you who don't like it gonna feel this drama a little bit bored.... Oh and maybe as usual for c-drama, the episode is just d*mn too much, I don't think the episode need this long.

Overall this is one good drama for you to enjoy and learn to relax....

Inside out drama version

Long time want to watch this drama, especially cause of the cute cells. Finally this year decided to watch for my Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Good drama, but unfortunately leave unpleasant feeling in our heart when they close the curtain. Fortunately at the time that I watch this, they already has 2nd season to continue the story. But I think I'll gonna watch this next year for another Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Haha...

The drama is really cute with all the cells involve, like watching inside out but more complicated feeling & emotion. Story about a woman named Kim Yu Mi (YM) & all the emotion that lives in her, and later on also we can see Ku Woong (KW) emotion. The really story quite close to the reality of our life, so we easily attach to it.

A little reality check:
+ Really make me smile when KM love cells infiltrate YM heart by very simple thing. By using frog... Yeah sometimes that simple thing that silently infiltrate our heart.
+ I don't know like or not about this, but sometimes KW is a little too perfect as man. He is man with rarely having relationship but he can read all the little gesture that YM give. Like when he decided to block YM knowledge about how close he is with Seo Sae Yi actually is, he can sense danger that if he said about it YM gonna be angry so yeah he block it instead. Sometimes man is so stupid reading woman gesture, so when I found man like this in the drama world it makes me a little bit happy.
+ As simple as love infiltrate our heart, sometimes a little things too that annoyed us. And when that little thing finally piling up, and sometimes without our knowledge too, that's when we think to end things up.

Overall this really good drama to watch

Watch this for 2023 ALPHABET DRAMA / MOVIE CHALLENGE. Turn out this quite good drama for short one. But unfortunately they kinda leave me with the feeling of lack of something when they close the curtain. & it's almost like an open ending one.... So yeah I lower the score...

Like Joyce Chan wrote in her review. They all the unnecessary love rival & obstacle in their story. The more toward the ending, not the closure we got, but all the obstacle start to come out. Until the end it leave the feeling like unfinished story still need to be finished.

If only the ending not this messed up, maybe I can say this drama has beginning, middle & ending for the short drama & one of the good ones. But once again since this only short drama everything feel rushed...

Stupid love story, but quite cute & adorable

I actually don't know what to say about this. But for sure thank God this is just short drama not a long one.

Story about one stupid boy that falling in love with a girl but don't want to say his feeling & only troll the girl feeling. And at the brick that girl almost give up her feeling, that boy finally admit that he like her too. Yeah one stupid love story that we romanticizes. But funnily, even for me, no matter stupid this story is, we still like it & cheer for that relationship to finally blossom.

Overall thank God this is just short drama not a long one if not I don't know how will they stretch this...

I think one or 2 year ago I saw this drama up and go in the feeds, since this year I have empty slot for Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge I decided to give drama a go. Turn out not as good as I expected.

What make me hang to the last scene is the black hole. I'm really curious about that black hole, what is that? Is it really connect between the comic/story realm? Or just a glitch in the system? Unfortunately until the last scene we never get explanation about this black hole. Gonna be much better if we can know what is this black hole.

And also about that self conscious. How come some people get it some people not get it...? What the criteria to choose it? Is it because the character that selected for several times to be in the new story world? I mean just like Eun Dan Oh & Ha Ru, we can see them as character from the previous story, but Lee Do Hwa no I don't think so. Or maybe because they have too much interaction with the self conscious character, like Lee Do Hwa & Yeo Joo Da? So you see it just so confusing why they're the chosen one?

Overall for me this unique concept of story but not so much in the realization...

Reverse mode

Horah!!! They continue their story after season 3, or I'll gonna say season 1 part 3. Because for me, this is the real season 2. And of course that make this Season 2 part 1 for me....

This time it's Qin Yu (QY) turn to come to the future, or you can said out from the book to the real world, to search for Yian Yi Yi (YY) / Consort Rong. But of course the story not that simple, since YY's memory about her adventure in the book world already wipe clean by book officer. And of course YY receive new mission from Book Officer to send QY back to book world. But whatever happen QY still insist to stay in real world & start to chase YY again.... And their journey begin....

This part tell story about YY's life in real life. We get to know YY's close friend & family. We get to meet several familiar face from previous season & also new face.

The biggest and questioning part of this season is where the h*ll QY get all the money. Haha... QY is still QY. Even in real world he still becoming rich guy & of course pampering YY with all the money. We get the glimpse imagination that maybe QY pawn or sold everything he bring from book world & also cut & sold his hair. But is it really enough for sponsor all the spoil thing he did to YY...? And YY also become one stupid girl that never ever even think/bother to ask QY where he gets all the money.... She just receive it & think that natural thing to do by man.... Aiyo....

The second question: How fast QY & Li Zhi Duo adapt in real / modern world. Ok they kinda explained that QY is fast learner& quite smart you can say. But for someone that comes from ancient world that easy adapt to our world is one big question mark for me. Haha...

And apart from that question the problem also start to raise for our lead. And close the curtain with obstacle that QY & YY have to solved. So their story continue to season 5 or I'll say part 2....

Just like Unique Lady

This story is like our dream, where we fall into the book & become character in the book & become FL/ML & falling in love with main character there. It's become lucky if the story is our own writing, so we know inside out about all the character & plot.

This part/season of the drama is only the beginning where we get to know all the important character & plot. We see how FL, Yan Yi Yi/Consort Rong (YY), maneuver the story so she can save herself. In that maneuver, she create new characteristic for her character that make ML/emperor fall in love with her.

The reason I gave the title Just like Unique Lady, because this part of the story end like Unique Lady, which mid-part. Actually in my opinion the more fit to give the title of this drama not season, but part 1. And how much I really hope MDL not separate them, cause it suck to separate the review like this....

Overall all the story for this drama just the beginning in here & I quite excited to continue follow this journey

Confusing plot + messed up translate

This actually kinda good quality short drama. The costume, make up, décor everything kinda not cheep & the cast acting bearable & quite good actually. But unfortunately MangoTV still can messed this up.

As usual MangoTV translation kinda suck. Sometimes completely mistranslate, sometimes no translation including the missing voice (so no sound at all, only Hanzi or mandarin word in the screen). So yeah except you very influence with HanZi or at least you want to read the word completely, you will like me, not really completely understand the plot nor the word they said in here. Haha...

I don't know it's just me being not understand the plot or what. But I feel the plot or story sometimes like jumping from place to place. Like after Zhang Xiao Mei's (XM) sister gave birth suddenly the child is missing & there's goat. Or just like Zhou Qing Zhu (QZ) & XM run from Li Ye, suddenly there's 3 years gap & I don't really understand is QZ only dream or what, but they also say XM died 3 years ago. So d*mn confusing.

In the end I hang on till the last cause still hope the story can make more sense in the end & because this just short drama. If usual length drama, I'll gonna drop it....
