    • Great CGI
    • Unique when it comes to the superhero plot
    • Superpowers become a family issue
    • Fun to watch 
    • First half was pretty slow paced and felt like there was no plot
    • Generally not that action packed or fast paced as it is advertised
    • Second half with the adults was better - especially the last 5 episodes -
    • Good acting
    • I am looking forward to see more of some of the younger actors that are starring here
    • Everything got connected in the second half of the series
    • Very entertaining
    • Quite bloody - One of the few times that we got to see the result of being hit from a person with superhuman abilities
    • Some pretty nice emotional scenes
  • Let’s Talk about Chu

    • Binge-worthy series
    • Great acting
    •  High entertainment value that doesn't fail to offer some emotional moments

    • It was more on the realistic side of relationships (no perfect character that wants to hold your hand here)
    • Pretty educational - has interesting facts when it comes to sex
    • Every couple and every individual character was interesting and fun to watch 
    • Everyone had decent scree time
    • Barely any nude scenes, despite the main sex scenes 
    • Everything felt ideal when it came to balance
    • People in different stages of life - for once the younger people were not the only focu
    • Deals with many issues without being over the top or too dramatic
    • A very well-made series that unfortunately doesn't get the attention it deserves

    • Acting could get too over the top at times especially in the first two episodes - I had to get used to the vibe

    9. Captivating the King

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    5.0
    • First four episodes are very good (with pick being the fourth)
    • Jo Jung Suk's performance was amazing
    • Many of the actors did a pretty good jobs, especially the veterans
    • The child actor that starred as Dae Gun should give some acting lessons to some people...

    • Each episode could easily be 15-20 minutes shorter
    • Jang Young Nam tended to overact as Queen Park
    • Cobweb-like beards
    • Absence of tension
    • Romance aspect made me feel nothing most of the times
    • Many clichés
    • Very underwhelming, especially towards the end
    • Ending was just bad
    • Shin Sae Kyeong  was very bad (couldn't act as a man despite her disguise, had 2 expressions the whole show and had teary eyes no matter the situation)
    • Crew made 0 effort to make the FL look like a man
    • FL's character is dumb - everything goes her way, because the script says so, she has 0 plans-
    • Writer involves the FL in situations out of nowhere just to include her in the plot
    • Drama could work without a FL
    • It would work better as a revenge based male VS male lead drama that focuses on politics

    • Unreasonable time-skips 
    • Extremely one-dimensional characters
    • Characters tend to appear and disappear when it is convenient for the script 
    • Looks like scriptwriter wanted the audience to root for the FL and ML, but they are honestly just awful in every aspect
    • Felt super draggy at times and at the same time it needed so much more time to develop everything.
    • Romance is cringy, unnecessary and makes no sense
    • FL is unnecessary and badly written
    • Many and I mean many clichés
    • Hong Su Zu's acting as Na Hye Won is terrible and seems to make no effort 
    • Ending was awful like the rest of the series

    • Generally pretty good acting

    • CEW's acting still needs lots of work, buthis character didn't have that much scree time and was also very cold, so it suited him + He was pretty good in the last 2-3eps
    • Loved the portrayal of grief
    • Unfortunately, constant efforts to make this super sad ending up feeling bland

    14. Unknown

    9.0
    • Entertaining from beginning to end
    • Extra and over the top but in (mostly) the right way
    • Supporting characters were great + I liked how we got to know new people every few eps
    • New things were happening all the time => biggest pro!
    • Xiao Heng was super hot - dude is sculpted by gods
    • Villains were great
    • Finally a strong FL that was not acting like a child and waiting to be saved all the time
    • Make-up was super bad -> everyone looked like ghosts (whoever did the make up of the FL made her look extremely ugly at times)
    • Wu Jin Yan's acting as Jiang Li was great when she was scheming and being smart, BUT in the emotional/romantic scenes it felt like she was also scheming, like she was pretending
    • Really liked ML's acting in the emotional department. Dude looked truly in love.
    • Some characters were completely ruined by the end by lazy writing
    • Many supporting characters disappeared...
    • Final episodes were extremely sloppy and badly written (especially the last two).
    • OST was unmemorable

    •  Acting was pretty good from the majority of the cast
    •  GL vibes (and not only vibes...)
    • Had a manhwa/manga feeling where everyone is trying to outsmart one another
    • Intro OST slaps
    • Everyone is sooo pretty
    • This was Jang Da A's debut as an actress and she did a very good job. Proof that a debut performance is not necessarily bad
    • Love the sismance
    • Liked the majority of the characters (expect Ja Eun that was the type of too kind person that was just super weak)
    • Love how most of the characters were flawed ah
    • Loved the FL and how she was a pretty grey and calculative character
    • Pretty entertaining in general
    • This is another bullying drama, but with an interesting concept
    • Wasn't really into the first 3 eps - They felt a bit dumb 
    • Some of the eps were pretty long

    • Angst
    • Over the top at times but in a way I enjoyed
    • Had it's funny moments
    • iQiyi's hilarious adds during the series
    • Great directing! The fantasy element was depicted immaculately 
    • Watched it with a passion
    • Had many tropes I LOVE (jealousy, angst, toxicity at its fullest, misunderstandings)
    • THIS IS A FREAKING DANMEI ADAPTATION - That explains why it was so good 
    • This was so extra, I laughed and screamed constantly
    • Clothing was ❤️❤️❤️
    • One of the few times the main couple is so interesting
    • That one CGI scene was not the greatest
    • Last episode could be combined with ep. 11 and if most of its scenes where cut I wouldn't mind
  • We Are

    28. We Are

    Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    8.5
    •  Felt like a slice-of-life bl
    • Basically nothing was happening, but it was great to watch and 100% to my liking.
    • Good acting for the most part.
    • Impressed with Pond and Phuwin. It was the first time I liked their acting and had fun watching them and I actually saw the chemistry.
    • There was barely any angst/misunderstandings.
    • Their friend group was the highlight of the series.
    • Good humour.
    • Tan and Fang were easily the best pairing imo. Their chemistry, dynamics and story were perfect. 
    • Q/Toey were interesting in the beginning, but after a few eps and especially after the first half they were super boring (and cringy)
    •  Series could easily be the standard 12 eps, but I wasn't that bored.
    • Chain/Pun were completely unnecessary. They had almost 0 screentime and as a result their paring seemed forced. Plus they had 0 chemistry and were mostly cringy.
  • The Tyrant

    29. The Tyrant

    Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes

    7.5
    • Production quality was great for the most part
    • Good acting
    • Kim Seon Ho's performance in the last episode was A M A Z I N G
    • Dark atmosphere 
    • Action scenes were very good
    • Violence/Gore
    • Lim Sang as a comedic relief worked
    • Ja Kyung was the highlight of the series - I love ruthless women in action series!
    • Good concept
    • Pretty entertaining last two eps
    • Plot was all over the place and first two eps were incomprehensible
    • Felt like a first "set-up" episode was missing 
    • I don't get why they made this a series - It could be a movie and felt like one 
    • Kim Kang Woo as Paul was overacting
    • The typical ''we have to add some English cringy dialogues and words for no reason"
    • CGI/Special Effects were great, besides that monster one that was unnecessary and ruined the atmosphere the drama was trying to achieve
    • Entertaining enough
    • Not close to the greatness of The Witch: The Subversion
  • Meet You at the Blossom

    30. Meet You at the Blossom

    Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    4.0
    • First two eps were entertaining
    • Production quality was bad, but not as bad as I expected
    • Acting was generally not good, especially from Li Le - Huai En-
    • Wang Yun Kai -Xiao Bao- did a pretty decent job acting wise
    • Dubbing/Sound mixing was terrible
    • Zero chemistry when it came to the main couple, or maybe one-sided chemistry from Xiao Bao’s side
    • Mains relationship was unrealistically and ridiculously sudden 
    • Other couples were funnier to watch, but still nothing amazing chemistry-wise
    • Most of the characters are flawed, but not in a way that makes them interesting 
    • The characters felt "unnatural"
    • Zero emotional connection on my part for any of them
    • It felt like a typical bl, where they try to have an actual plot besides the romance and they can't really write one, so the plot feels like a badly written ''background'' to the boring romantic storyline
    • Huai En could never pass as a woman and especially a pretty one, taking into consideration the beauty standards
    • I love toxicity, but it was handled super bad in this one and the toxic elements (r@pe etc) felt ridiculous and laughable and that tells you a lot about the quality of the drama
    • Two first eps aside, this has 0 entertainment value
    • Felt more like a Thai-parody of a danmei-adaptation than a serious try to make something good
    • Unsuccessful effort, but hopefully it is the reason there will be more in the future, so it is appreciated 
  • Snowfall

    31. Snowfall

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    8.5
    • Generally pretty entertaining and unique -but I did get a bit bored towards the end-
    • It is extra as hell, but in a good way -most of the times-
    • Pretty funny
    • Has some great scenes
    • Honestly I was more interested on the supporting -or ''fake'' supporting- characters comparing to the mains
    • Acting was not great, but I didn't really mind, since the whole series was over the top
    • Nice OST
    • Loved my petty villain Ying Liang! He was very fun to watch and super handsome ❤️❤️❤️
    • BROMANCE at its finest! If someone told me it is a censored adaptation of a same sex novel -or at least a novel with some gay characters- I would believe them...
    • Mi Lan got a bit annoying at some point and acted like a child to a point I could not take her relationship with the ML as something more than a father/daughter relationship or a one-sided crush
    • SITU WEI LIAN! My man was great and apparently the actor is also an idol. He did great.
    • Censorship - It is obvious from many things that this show is butchered. 
    • Ending wasn't as bad as I expected

    • Production quality was great
    • Acting was generally good 
    • Yoo Jae Myung as the evil Kim Guk Ho, Sung Yoo Bin as Kim Guk Ho’s son and Kim Sung Cheol as well as the actor that portrayed him as a child were the highlight!
    • Mr. Smile -> Perfection
    • Uncensored + Disturbing/Sensitive themes (justice, rape, murder, mutilations etc.)
    • Eps. 5 + 6 were the best!
    • There was some unpredictability when it came to deaths
    • Entertaining finale 
    • Main lead was unlikable, bland and dumb (+ he tends to change personalities)
    • Some of the characters were very interesting to watch 
    • Mayor and Lawyer were super boring and used as plot tools
    • Insane plot armor for some of the characters
    • Way too many convenient things were happening
    • Pacing was bad - some eps were boring ah
    • Many lose ends about many characters
    • Felt like two different series (1 -> draggy, typical Kdrama characters, boring moments & 2 -> super entertaining, fun to watch and intense scenes)
    • Would be much better if the focus of the drama changed

    • Spectral Class was a fever dream
    • The Vow and Viral Curse were the best eps
    • Some great acting performances (Care -> Milk, Wedding Dress + Gee -> Nat, Smile -> Dao, The Vow etc.)

  • The Frog

    35. The Frog

    Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    7.5
    • Great cinematography/directing (the type where you want to screenshot everything)
    • Great acting from pretty much everyone
    • AMAZING music
    • We truly need more characters like Jeon Ui Seon
    • Violent scenes
    • Symbolism
    • Go Min Si's outfits were fire!
    • Sometimes the suspense scenes lasted too long (you know the "what did they see" type of scenes - it took way too long until we actually saw that "something" and that had an opposite effect suspense-wise)
    • Had some typical kdrama tropes here and there
    • It could easily be one ep. less -maybe more-
    • First half was slow paced and atmospheric
    • Second half was fast paced
    • Second half felt like a different drama comparing to the first half -> nonsensical/unbelievable and over the top things happened

    • Typical emotionally unstable/villain characters
    • Some overacting here and there
    • Quite a few “easy way outs” for the plot to move forward
    • Great last scenes
    • Last episode felt very unrealistic and "idiotic" compared to the rest of the series

    • I wasn't that impressed with Liu Dong Qin in the beginning 
    • The teacher's story was unnecessary
    • It better have a S2, cause otherwise the ending was baaaaad
    • I would prefer they made a 24 episode series instead of waiting for a S2 that may never happen (at least they should have gotten an okay for S2 before producing S1)
    • Had some differences compared to the book, but I wasn't that bothered by (most of) them
