Draggy towards a happy ending

Title should've been Love of Irrational Beings. Spent almost half the show watching draggy scenes of irrational people go through the motion of falling in love.

Starting with the FL's bestie; what's with her attitude towards relationships? Like it's should come with expiration date, end it before it expires...

Or the FL's irrational choice to choose to work for the ML's nemesis over and over again. Or the ML's decision to push the FL towards her dreams, even if it meant pushing her to work for his nemesis, it's sweet but a little to much..

Anyway actors were ok, OST too. And it has a happy ending so it's all good. Rewatch, not likely though.

Had a lot of potential..

This maybe a Psycho-Thriller/Crime/Suspense but all I get is the Psycho part, it's creepy with almost no suspense at all with a lousy police system.

From the get go, you'll already know who's the sexual predator hiding in an online dating app.

In their attempt to make it look mysterious, I think they didn't incorporate enough subplots to the story. All we know is that the FL is a young genius that developed an online dating app. Then there's her friends; a detective who'd been a victim of a sexual predator and a shaman who's willing to go beyond measures to help a friend.

The actors did good on their part. The musical scoring and OST were ok. All in all, it's an ok show. Nothing spectacular about it though.

Would I rewatch this? Not ever..

A love story with just a pinch of paranormal.

A very convoluted story.

The title is apt. The backstories that span a century tends to be very confusing. But in the end, everything seemed to workout well anyway. I don't care much for it because it's a bit overly used, but I do get it. It's needed for some aspects of the story to work.

I think the love story of the main couple was unrealistic as much as the paranormal aspects of the story. Sure, a doppelganger can be possible but of the same age group from the same community is pretty much impossible.

Then there's that selfless love they've presented first that's very admirable, how did that love turned out to be foolish? The FL was even willing to die for love. ML was willing to give up everything. But then a sudden change of character happened, she kept on pushing the ML away, even up to the point of leaving him and keeping a love child secret. And after turning the world upsidedown, he just let her go. Try it in real life and see where it gets you.

Anyway its entertaining. But I might not rewatch it any time soon.

I was hooked from the start to the last episode

Watched this show twice now. I think it's beautifully written with the write blend of intrigue, action packed drama and enough romance to give it a heart and soul.

Some components of the show ain't that new, just with the right execution. Like how the ML and the FL was related to some kind of childhood trauma.

The actors did a great job here. They did have good onscreen chemistry. Plenty of times they almost made me want to cry.

Like the relationship of the FL with her stepdad and the relationship of ML with his mentor, it was so different but both are so beautiful.

I also like the backstory provided. It sets up the tone / vibe of the show, not annoying at all.

A show that you should watch at least once in your life.

Very convoluted with all it's twist and turns, almost in a mind numbing way. Some aspects of the show have a very familiar feels.

A dominant ML and 2nd ML. An amnesiac FL as the heroine. Beautiful traditional/period costumes, good looking actors, artistic fight scenes, and a great love that defies all.

The length of the show allows each character development to take place. They started as young person's full of angst and uncertainty. Then they've been through a lot, gain alliances and some enemies too. They've love and lost and love again. Anyway, it has a happy ending so all is good.

True to it's title, it's really about DaLi and the cocky prince

After seeing the first episode, I'm thinking maybe this is not for me. But to my surprise, I was hooked by the next episode.

True to it's title, it's really about DaLi and the cocky prince. It was fun to see their contrast turns to complement each other. He's crass but endearingly funny. She's class but surprisingly not snobby.

Watching this is so much fun and refreshing enjoyable. Even the OSTs good..

If there's one thing I don't get, it's her Ex.. left her almost at the altar. Then became so obsessed to get her back. He did some terrible things and he still expected that he can win her back.. Anyway, its a really good show..

A fine watch if you have a lot of spare time..

Lots of drama, action and romance. I heard this one is based on a Columbian drama Pasion de Gavilanes. Watched that one too. There are some similarities like the main characters and the starting point of the story, three brothers search for justice/revenge for their younger sisters death. Along the way they've met and fall in love with three sisters from the family they're investigating.

I think the Filipino version is more sinister than the original. With the original Lyvia's death was caused by suicide, with the Filipino version she's even abused as per ordered by the mother of the three sisters.

Then there's the differences like the love pairings; with the Columbian version it's Juan-Norma, Oscar-Jimena then Franco-Sarita. With the Filipino version; it's Juan-Norma, Oscar-Sari, Franco-Jamie.

Both versions are good, I think. You just need a lot of free time and patience to watch these because both are really long series.

Healthy dose of multiple romance with lots of fight scenes..

Loved this one. Very easy to watch, light, fun, action packed with mysteries here and there, and enough romance to spice things up.

I thought it was a typical RomCom in a traditional costume setting. I didn't mind the prolonged scenes at the school which was really surprising because I usually skip those parts.

Then as the story unfolds, it became more exciting. From the barbaric format "Me, Tarzan, You Jane. My wife." To a bit reluctant friendship, to a beautiful fun loving relationship. All of these while solving their personal issues and all the problems surrounding them.

This story wasn't able to make me cry but it did make my heart sigh.

Now, what I don't like was the part near the ending. The scholars suddenly turned stupid, and turned against the ML and FL for the poisoning fiasco. Then the FL who's a good fighter, suddenly became a helpless little girl that got poisoned and held hostage multiple times.

Another CEO meets pretty girl next door love story

Nothing new with the plot, a too serious CEO and the crazy but pretty girl next door found each other through unique situation and managed to fall in love and somehow made it work.

I also like that there are some minor love story on the side to keep the viewers entertained and interested. Out of the four couples, three pairs managed to have their version of happy ending.

Good actors with matching good OST. It's really good to watch, pretty entertaining.. I just feel that the final episode was rushed. This show is a pretty entertaining journey with a bit mediocre ending
