a boy manga + a girl manga (with humans)

not to be taken seriously... it's so unrealistic that you wouldnt fool a kindergartener. the ML kicks left and right and puts down the police, the bad guys, the secret organizations... all in-between some cheesy moments with the FL. everything is black and white: the good cops are too good - and handsome, the bad guys are just so bad - and scary looking.
feel safe to fast-forward, nothing to lose abt actors' facial expressions or something, everything is just so basic! if you're a fan of martial arts and guns, dont miss the action scenes, there are plenty. the ML looks good with his shirt on and even better without it.
chewing-gum movie, no stress for the brain. i'm still not sure if i can pull myself through more episodes - and i only watched 3.

A truly well executed time travel kdrama, way way above Twinkling Watermelon.

This is the best kdrama I've seen since a very long time. (probably since It's Okay to Not Be Okay)
The only serious problem I have with it is the villain's lack of personality/backstory and how they just dealt with him under 3 minutes in the finale. I could nitpick If I really wanted to, but I fail to see the point.
I always say that explaining the inner workings of time travel always ruins immersion in time travel shows, luckily in this one they have not even tried. (it's better to keep the unexplainable unexplained)

Everything else is pretty good, the cast is great, the chemistries are great. The romance is up there with the best, there are countless very fluffy and or very touching moments. Love triangle haters are safe to enjoy this as well, because the secondary love interest is weak like a straw. The ending is a banger too.

Anyway 9/10 seems fair to me. It's not perfect or anything, for example Someday or One Day is better in this genre, but I'm very happy that Korea can still deliver something of this caliber, since it's been so long..

It was worth waiting for.

I was glad that this show is on air now.

The storyline is out of the box, not the 13 in a dozen.

Our male leads are terrific. That barscene, as if there were no other people then them.

And the enemy to lovers, that will be exciting.

What I also like is that they are not covered in a thick layer of make up, what I see in so many other Thai BL series, where caramel skin turns to white and are unnatural flawless.

No, they leave Yin and War natural, which is very good, cause they are handsome allready.

Impressed with Yin's taekwondo skills, I don't know if that is his hobby or that he had to practise hard for this role.

War, he looked so adorable in disguise, with the fringe, the braces and the glasses.

I think that these roles in this series is better than Love Mechanics.

A Great and Promising Start!

The first episode of Our Skyy is off to such a good start! The storyline kicks off with the classic campus setting, and the dynamic between the popular guy and the shy freshman is already super interesting. Their encounters are fun to watch—whether it’s an awkward bump-in or a more meaningful moment, every scene feels like it’s building up to something really sweet.

What I loved most is how natural their interactions are. You can feel the tension between them, but it’s not over the top. The popular guy’s confidence mixed with the freshman’s nervous charm makes their scenes both entertaining and heart-fluttering. You can’t help but root for them!

Honestly, it’s a great start. If the rest of the episodes keep up this level of energy, I can already tell this series is going to be a hit. Can’t wait to see where their story goes!

A Second Chance Exploring Your "What-Ifs"

It's already clear the amount of fantastical potential this series has. Time traveling in itself isn't anything new, but this still feels fresh by adding an unexpected actor pairing, great production, and BL to the mix.

Even though I was initially skeptical of Krist and Gawin's chemistry, I'm not anymore. As many have pointed out, Krist really shines in this role. His portrayal of Kawi boosts the cute and unpredictable flavor of this series's comedy, while still representing his darker emotions when need be. And Gawin brought not only acting skills but also charm and rizz to the table with the insane number of enchanting gazes he gave within ep1 alone.

Seeing how Kawi's changes caused an interesting ripple effect through time-traveling makes me eager to keep watching! It's more difficult to get supernatural concepts right compared to other genres, yet Be My Favorite has the potential to be a surprising GMM classic.

A must watch if looking for a unique, well acted, and refreshing story.

I can't even begin to explain my love for this show.
I found out originally about it the day that episode 2 aired through a TikTok. When I heard all the praise I was utterly stunned I had somehow never heard about this show. I figured maybe I had watched the trailer and just wasn't interested. Boy was I wrong. When I watched the trailer (and realized I had never seen it) and also clicked together it was all 5 members of LYKN (a T-POP Group under GMMTV) and Est (who played in High School Frenemy, among other things) I was shocked! I dove right in to what was already out and craved more immediately. Idol stories aren't too common, and it's being done SO well by ThamePo.

The idols in the show are idols in the real world too! And wow.. the chemistry between William and Est has me captivated. I've gotten multiple friends onto the bandwagon of this show and even have watch parties set up every friday with my best friends. I truly and deeply hope that William and Est will become an official pairing. Their chemistry on and off screen is one of my favorites I have seen from ANY GMMTV DUO EVER. If you're on the fence about starting the show, please give it a shot. It's not as cheesy and cliche as a lot of GMMTV's normal stuff, and I know a good lot of people are drawn to GMMTV because of that energy, but it feels more mature and so refreshing. If you're someone drawn to good chemistry and good plot: this is for YOU! I will defend this show with my life.

(P.S.) Also, you don't have to be scared when Thame (William) pulls out a guitar! He's an idol, he can sing, let that worry wash away when you see him with it LOL

Put away the scissors ✂️ ?️

In the beginning of this year I saw an edit about Pavel and Pooh and their audition. It may be because of the editing but I loved the chemistry between these two and was really exited for this drama.
Then it aired. The first episode was amazing, breathtaking acting, cinematography: chef kiss.
While the story had some information holes for newcomer in the abo-verse, my only other complain is the cutting in the cut version.
I understand that there are cut and uncut version, but while paying for VIP IQIYI the series is not available in my region (Germany) so for legally watching I am depending on the cut version on YouTube. It‘s missing important little details, that make the story seem completely torn into small pieces, not really related to each other and it’s disturbes the smooth watching experience.

Nonetheless I love watching this series. It‘s little icks are made up by the actors performance and while I got some information from TikTok about the plot I am exited how this series will evolve.

What could be a fun addition to Kamen Rider is bogged down by pretentious uninteresting characters

I really wanted to like this show. Had good actors, great action sequences...but I could NOT STAND the Kamen Rider Alpha character. His whole theme is that he knows he's not human and he's going around eradicating other Amazons because they are monsters and eat people. Presumably this would mean that he values human life. But he so far has wandered around being pretentious and saying pedantic things about "life and death" for what feels like HOURS before he finally gets in a fight-many times letting humans get badly injured or killed. If he doesn't care about human life why does he care that some are getting snacked on? At one point he specifically lets a very minor character die and basically says "Oops". I feel like if they had axed all his stupid speeches the character would have been really interesting and complex, but sadly most of what he says sounds like a 13 year old boy on Reddit trying to be "deep". Kamen Rider Omega at least has none of these dumb speeches, but instead of being infuriating he's just...boring. I'm honestly just watching it for the supporting characters at this point. (though some of the more interesting ones were killed off in like the 2nd episode)

If you are a biased fan of actors don't read it. Thankss

So ...... I watched some shorts of this drama on YouTube and decided to watch without giving it a second thought.....was expecting atleast a good acting from the cast as i saw their a Lil work in f4.... But sadly got disappointed to a next level....i won't beat around the bush and come to the exact point...so in my opinion if you want to just watch beautiful faces because that's your least expectation than bruh go for it bcj they are charming enough to make you stare on their faces .... but if u wanna a decent plot with atleast watchable storyline and if you judge actors on their acting basis than this drama is not for you.....if you had watched even 1 good drama in your life than i doubt u gonna like it .......there is no romantic chemistry between the main leads neither any chemistry with their friends. Atleast there would be bromance?.... haha if u are expecting this than nah I'm sry..... To me this drama is a complete failure and wastage of time...to you I don't really know....so if u feel like watching it go and watch bcj i dropped it after ep 5.

TBH, I am usually picky when watching Chinese drama because some of the scenes are quite cringey.

Anyways, one thing I REALLY don't like about this drama is their medical scene. I think the writer and the director did not do their research properly. I know this is not mainly a medical drama but the scenes were directed poorly. The elevator scene, two doctors were trapped with a rib fracture patient, no IV line, no indication that the patient has a rib fracture, even though he was already diagnosed with a rib fracture.

Another scene like, Dr. Shao was doing a major brain surgery but there were no blood seen on his gloves, even Mi Ka's gloves were so clean, the surgical area was so clean. they only show a video of how is it done but, hello, major surgery, right? Post surgery, the patient was recovering but there were no IV fluids or oxygen attached to the patient's body knowing that the patient just have a major brain surgery. Seriously?! Even non-medical dramas, they make it look like it's reality with the IVs, oxygen, blood, etc, like a real operation but not on this drama. One of a reason why I skipped a lot of medical scenes in this series. :(

I like some of the fight scenes though at least the action scenes were quite believable. i just wish the background music adds more feelings towards the scene. It's an action scene so more intense BGM.

One thing I like about this series is the romance part. The male and female lead, the supporting female and male lead had a spark and connection which makes it more okay and fun to watch. :)

Overall, if you're looking for a romance drama, this series is okay but don't expect much with regards to their medical scenes.

This kind of cheating drama is good, but I don't like it when Won Ki Joon(Im Dong Jun) began to like her since the beginning of the drama, he always invents an excuse to talk to her more times, and yet follow her around trying to figure out her families secrets, If he met her after divorced this drama would be 10. But in my head, I think her husband and the main protagonist has the same kind of cheating mind the only difference is that one is because of money and the other pleasure. So sad, I feel sad for her because she dedicated her whole life to her husband and he treats her like shit. I am looking forward to seeing her improvement and independence.

A mix of serious action and storytelling with kimchi-slap morning kdramas

This is a really good kdrama. It could've been in my TOP5 but the absurd comedy made it less impressive for me.
I am always very forgiving with absurdity in kdramas, and this one was no exception. No way i would've let so many flaws get by in a western production, yet this is the beauty of watching a kdrama. The absurd parts are so absurd that the only thing left to do is laugh, and that's ok.

I liked the ending. At least in the end some "realism" was left and the happy ending is somehow bittersweet if you think of it.

All actors did an excellent job. Every single one of them! Side characters included!
Loved the movie and other kdrama references that were written in the script! Truly hilarious! The "2PM" jokes were also chief's kiss!

I would totally recommend this kdrama to everyone used to asian productions. It's like a really good manga/anime. Half of it it's very realistic and the other half is crack humor that doesn't make much sense but we are here for it anyway.

Just one last thing. "Mademoiselle" is actually french.
