Salute to the Scriptwriter and ppl who approved these

So Hierarchy bows out with a whimper rather than a roar, with a disappointingly obvious finale and a whole lot of fluff to pad out this chapter. This absolutely did not need to be 75 minutes long and the pacing throughout this show has been really poor.

The chemistry between everyone has been bad across the board if I’m honest, and it feels like the creators tried to mimic Elite while also adding in Korean values, and failing spectacularly. None of the characters are particularly likable and the only “good” guy, Kang Ha, is pretty bland on the whole and struggles to stand out.

This one definitely had potential but all of that is squandered in this disappointing foray. Hopefully there won’t be a second season as Hierarchy is definitely not as glamorous and promising as its trailer made it out to be. What a shame.

Not for everybody

Well, I guess I'm the odd one out of the bunch when I say I agree it's not for everybody.

The first episode didn't grab me at all. It just seemed like people just watched this drama because of how the characters looked.
I learned real quick that it might have that Disney 'love at first sight' feel and it did but the female character was just twisted because of psychological issues she had with her own father.

I learned enough from the first episode that this isn't my cup of tea.

I also have to stop falling for reviews like this. The minute I see people talk about how good a person looks I just need to steer clear of that. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for eye candy but come on, it doesn't give a good enough reason to watch.

Bored and uninvested

Okay so after finishing "Love between Fairy and Devil" and "Ashes of Love" I was interested in watching another Chinese fiction series. I tried to immerse myself into this series but after three episodes I couldn't. The FL kept annoying me and the CGI was pretty bad. Also, there are so many moving parts and characters that it's just a lot to keep track of.

The Female lead whines and expects to get away with doing whatever she wants. I was intrigued by the male lead but she annoyed me so much that I can't force myself to keep on watching. This drama is so popular so I felt it must be good, but perhaps because it is complex and long I found myself struggling with watching and I only got up to the third episode. I did sneak a peak at what happens in the future of the series and I did not want to put myself through that, especially since I could not find the characters interesting. I am a fan of angst and tension but knowing what happens to some of the characters in the name of character development just felt unnecessary. Also, like I mentioned I do not feel connected to the characters in the slightest.

Although the CGI is pretty bad I don't think that should be a deterrent for people who like the genre. I've seen bad CGI such as in "The Untamed" and still absolutely loved the series. The success of a series for me boils down to the acting, chemistry, and whether the show has a fulfilling ending. I personally can enjoy a story that has little to no plot to a story that is multi-layered and finely crafted in terms of plot. I can tell this series is plot-heavy but seeing how I'm uninvested in the characters it is not something I will waste my time watching.

The music was mediocre for me. Some dramas I don't skip the intro or ending song because they are so good and memorable and lovely to hear. This happened for me in "The Untamed", "Love between Fairy and Devil" and "Ashes of Love". All of their OST's were addictive. Even though the series were long I usually did not skip the intro or ending song. I don't mean to offend others by comparing these dramas but I did think it might be helpful to have a frame of reference for the content that I liked versus content I could not connect with.

This drama definitely is for people who want a rich plot and don't mind that the chemistry between the leads seems to develop with time. Based on spoilers I've read it is also for people who enjoy angst and action. I fall in the category of liking angst but the chemistry was not enough for me to become invested. Not my cup of tea, but I can see how it could be someone else's. Overall, I would rate it a 3/5 because I feel it has a lot of content to sink yourself into and that if you do enjoy the characters it would be an intriguing story to watch unfold. However, based on my personal enjoyment I would rate is a 2/5.

A tale of love and loyalty only on ML's part.. Dropping it the second time

I watched this drama a month ago and dropped it on the second episode ..cause honestly the type of pick up of the story is not something I enjoy watching. Second reason is I absolutely don't like ming Jia Jia .. her looks her acting doens't appeal to me at all and for someone like me who gives equal importance to FL she just doesn't serve the purpose.
Now coming back to the ridiculous plot ..the character who are dead or dying are more influential than those who are living ..a crafty dead woman traps her own sister for the sake of her husband's power and her child's safety while her sister the FL is just the opposite she gave up on her potential family/lover to fullfill a promise from a sister to whom she owes Nothing .. and this doesn't end here even after betraying her lover she shamelessly calls him to save her ... Pathetic
This was my limit but then I promised I give it a second chance so I started watching it again after a month ... To my surprise she character turned more selfish as she promised her so called husband that she will win the lover's trust and will manipulate him into things ...
Now this was the threshold of my patience .. I don't mind selfish characters ..but there is a limit the hypocrisy..this character is well made to be an anti lead ... Keep it that way ... What is the meaning of portraying such a pathetic character less character as the core of the show ...
Anyways this crap is not worth my time

If someone bullies you, it's because they like you

Rated= 5~ 24/50 ~ 4.8
RPG Scene // Zombies shambling and falling off Mountain Pass. Dont even need my sword. They walked off themselves.

I tried to like this, I really did but I just couldn't do it. I initially loved it with Wuxin and Xiao but then he left and it started to get really boring with lots of very irritating characters, very fast. And at least by ep 16, they're trying to force a romance with Xiao and the female character trope I absolutely loathe. Pouty princess with a big weapon. She beats you up because she loves you. Just no. That's not a couple destined to be. I don't do tsunderes and I can't imagine a man like Xiao liking it either. I just wanted Wuxin to come back so I googled and was disappointed so I've decided to drop.

Visually, there's a lot of special effects here. Gives me a final fantasy kind of vibe with a headache inducing amount of characters and back stories.

Xiao's face though. I will be watching out for that actor later because damn. I don't mind looking at him a little longer lol currently watching In Blossom with Wuxin's actor and he's pretty fine too with hair LOL honestly, if they do a spin off with just Xiao and Wuxin, I'd be all in but this is just too much for me to sit through 40 hours of my life.

Really love this variety show because every host of this variety show is really funny and really warm to each other also this variety show has a deeply meaning of life too. I always laugh whenever i watch this show. I really recommend to watch just 1 episode and then you will become really addicted and really happy when you watch every episode of it. Every joke that they made is really entertaining and sometimes it makes me laugh really hard until my tears come up. This show is really entertaining. Yet, although it is really funny but this show really has a motivation from every master that spends their time with the host. Their sentences can make us realize the meaning of life.

Enjoyable romantic comedy with eye candy leads and cute maltese

Castle in the Time is a very enjoyable romantic drama comedy. I love the male and female leads Zhang Zhe Han and Park Min Young! They are both eye candies and their acting is very natural! Being a dinosaur lover, I also love the palaeontologist element in the show. The little Maltese Xiao Jun Jun is also extremely adorable. Now only into the 5th episode, expect more and more exciting twists and turns to the storyline! Go watch if you have not yet done so yet! It is now showing on Japan's LaLaTV and will also be showing on SkyPerfect TV and Thailand's Monomax!

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED SERIES IN THE PHILIPPINES.

I have been watching BL series from the other country, and this series came across to my feed, and I watched it the first episode, Upon watching it I can say that the series doesn't get too much budget, but iwas amazed because despite of being in the pandemis they were able to come up with this series. a not online or camera based series ,, i find it boring when its like that, actors on camera while doing the tireful split screening idea. .. This series is like a medicine to me. It removes my sadness, the rawness of the actors are amazing, they are great when it comes to delivery of the lines. good job. aside for this, the story line is unique ut;s cute. and it is based on real life story so this maybe I think the first series taken from the real life of a certain person. it is highly recommended.

A Melhor das Expectativas

Vi algumas séries com o Nonkul e ele é um ator por vocação, talento e muita, muita sensibilidade. Já no primeiro episódio é encantador ver sua atuação. O espanto por ter algumas visões do passado e suas coincidências temporais, assim como um rompimento amoroso e sua reação visceral demonstram no olhar, sem exageros ou maneirismos toda a emoção que buscamos. A produção é excelente, a trilha, o figurino, ambientação do passado e presente, não há excessos, somente acertos. É um drama adulto, de alta qualidade, um BL (não gosto de classificar, mas vá lá) diferenciado. Pelo primeiro episódio promete e entrega. Espero que continue encantando e que Bright faça com Nonkul um casal inesquecível.

It's Okay

Hi! Hello Stranger is a good starter BL for the PH (along with other BLs that are currently airing). I have heard this due to it's high promotions of the company in social media.

STORY: it is a typical enemies-turned-friends type of stories, and while these kinds of stories excites me, I am afraid that they have become stagnant with that. There's no additional, out-of-the box something in the story itself and how it was presented.

ACTING: their acting was okay, but i feel like the acting of the casts do not meet even for a single episode. There is an ep where Xavier is superb and Mico fell flat. There is an ep where Xavier and Mico was good but the friends were flat. And there was an ep where everyone did a good job except for Xavier. I hope that they can be comfortable with each other.

MUSIC: good but nothing special. No original flavor. Though I feel lile the end-credit son represents the whole vibe of the series pretty well.

REWATCH VALUE: I scored it 6.5 because there are times when i say to myself "let's rewatch the past eps" and then another voice inside me keep saying "better not". And there are times when it is actually enjoyable to rewatch. It's not something that you can really enjoy for 6 days while waiting for the next ep (at least for me)

Hello Stranger is a good series! It's still in episode 3 so I hope that they can correct some issues. I wouldnt really change my rating because when I noticed xertain issues, it's hard for me to overlook at those for even the slightest. So this is prolly my rating for this series

Questa serie non merita un voto così basso (7.5) ...
ho iniziato a guardarla: visto il primo e l'ultimo episodio.
E' narrata bene, gli attori sono splendidi come recitazione, la qualità della fotografia e delle musiche è alta.
Non so se continuerò a guardarla, è un po' un pugno nello stomaco, vedere un pezzo di storia coreana, in cui gli interessi personali e l'ego del re, tengono in pugno una nazione, arrivando alla decisione di eliminare il figlio talentuoso e degno di governare.
Alla fine tutto va come doveva andare, anche a costo di sacrificare la propria vita in vista del bene del Paese.
Per il momento la droppo ... poi magari la riprenderò.
