Cute Cinderella ghost story

The ML in the first episode has some depth to the character which is nice. The FL is a timid stereotypical Cinderella type. It will be interesting to see her development and growth. The stepmother is a bit overdone. I love the ghost mother. It will be interesting to see how the series progresses and what troubles she creates for the FL. I am really like the supporting male actor his actions are over the top but that is what makes it so funny.
Overall I am enjoying the series. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Is it predictable ? Yes, but that's alright This is what I would call a fluff TV series. You can enjoy it without thinking too much. I like a good mystery with twists and turns but sometimes a fluff piece is good. I think the acting is fine and I like the humor.
It is getting better but Im stuck right now because it has only been translated as far as episode 16. Right at an exciting part. I hope it get's finished soon because I really want to know how it ends.

*The rest has been translated into English. Thank you Sweet Haven.*
This turned out to be a pretty good series. That got better toward the end. I will not spoil the ending but I thought it was good. If you like murder mystery you should enjoy this.

Pretty good drama

I had been enjoying the series until episode 11. I had rated it a 9. It was very good until episode 11. I liked the chemistry between the actors. The main actors did a good job displaying the different emotions. It has been an enjoyable series until episode 11. Then I reduced my rating to an 8. With out spoiling anything I will just state: WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING? There is a definite twist in the story. I don't think it was a good direction and it doesn't seem very believable. The story has building up in a certain direction and it lost momentum with episodes 11 and 12. I did like how they realistically tackled acceptance and being different. Without spoiling anything I will say that there was a scene in episode 12 that was really well done. You could really feel the emotion. The ending was good but parts of it seemed a little unrealistic. I did like the ending between Ayan and Akk. Overall the series was good. I would recommend watching it.

good short cdrama

I thought this was well done. It was a bit dark to start and I tend to stay away from dark stuff. But I am glad I gave it a try.

Likes:
1. The story-line was good and kept you interested to know how things were going to turn out.
2. The writers and director did a good job and I hope they get more jobs. It was nice that it wasn’t a fluff piece like most of the shorter c-dramas.
3. The chemistry between the actors were good. The romance scenes were good and better then some that I have seen lately.
4. The ending was a definite surprise. There was a surprising twist.
5. I liked the contrast between the two couples in the love. It showed the difference between genuine love and obsessive love.
6. I liked the little daughter. her character was a nice addition to the story. I thought the little actress did a good job.
7. Solid acting- nothing outstanding but it was well done.

Dislikes:
1. Incomplete English subtitles but it was a good series so I just overlooked it and replayed some parts again to figure out what was going on.
2. Length of each episode-I would have liked the episodes to have been longer. Some of the story felt rushed because of the allotted time. The first episode was 11 minutes.
3. A little inconsistency in the story, In the description it says King Ning but in the story he is referred to as the prince. So that was a little confusing. I think he was the prince not the king. Other than that the story was good. This may be translation problem. But with the way this character was freely running around it was more believable he was the prince.
4. The ending was good but I felt like it could have been better.

I definitely recommend it. I will re watch it again. In fact I have re watched certain parts of it already.

Don't compare to Kinn Parsche but it's okfine

I like this series however it has potential that is not being realized.. There were plot holes and the editing could have been better. From the very premise there should have been more heat between the two actors. It didn't have to be R rated or pornish to have heat but there was definitely room for improvement. That being said it is not as good as KinnPorsche but much better than Checkout ( which by the way i wouldn't waste my time watching again.) .
I liked episodes 1-6 then I felt like the series bogged down a little. Episode 10 could have been so much better. I liked episodes 1 , 2 , and 12 the best. Episode 12 saved it from a 6 rating, I would rate Episode 12 an 8.5.
I have continued watching it because I want to see how it ends. There has been some pretty good scenes like the rescue of Kim and "bombs" in episode 6. I liked the rescue in Episode 12. But there were other places were the story seems disjointed and choppy Like in episode 10 I think it would have been much better if they had focused on the vacation and left the scenes with Daniel,Dani And Cherry till the end of the episode or the next episodes. Certainly not inserting the Cherry scene between the shower and bedroom scene with Kamol and Kim. I felt the shower scene with the three bodyguards was totally unnecessary and didn't add to the story. I think it would have been better to work on the shower/bedroom scene with Kamol and Kim which seemed incomplete and pieced together.
I think the writers for Forgotten night don't seem clear on the direction they are going. In episode 1 you have the bedroom scene which is pretty tame for the subject matter addressed, and that was fine they didn't need to have full nakedness with both actors like KinnPorsche did. I think the bedroom scenes was effective the way they did it. where you see the top half naked even though more is implied. For example In episode 4 you see a small kiss in the bedroom and the next morning they wake up in bed together naked. Then in episode 9 you have the scene with Kim taking a shower and Kamol coming up with robe but there was a strategically placed railing that obscured details , that could have been more but they elected not to and that is fine. I like the cleaner romances. Sometimes less is more. then in episode 10 there was two explicit scenes like KinnPorsche that were totally R but the scenes themselves felt like they were missing something./ or were unnecessary.
I will finish watching it but yes it could have been better but I do I like mostly what I have seen..
I felt like episode 12 saved the series for me. In episode 12 I loved the interaction of Kamol and Kim. I could feel how Kamol was torn between work and going after KIm and how Kim was feeling rejected, I felt like the acting was so much better in this episode. I liked the rescue of Kim. I loved how Kim's Father warned Kamol of the difficulties they would face as a couple but accepted them. The parents attitude was realistic and not another cliche. I think the surprise party should have had Kim's parents there. But I loved the happy ending..

Dark and suspenseful

The description for the series states: "Tang is a young new artist who mysteriously loses his reflection. He sees a strange boy, Neo, in the mirror instead. An odd relationship starts with the conflict between suspense and trust." The picture that accompanies the description of the series shows two boys with two guitars in the background. Holding something that you really can't tell what it is., It looks like this will be a sweet romance with some suspense.
So far the series has been anything but sweet and not what I expected. It really is starting out pretty dark. I wont put spoilers in here, however; I will say there are two significant disturbing scenes in it and I almost expected Neo to be a ghost from the way the first episode was headed. What happened instead was unexpected. I am staying for now because I am intrigued. However, in the trailer for episode 4 there is something bloody in the box and you can't really see what it is, if this goes further down that path I think I will drop it. This series is suppose to have 6 episodes. It will be interesting to see how it develops. I am not dropping it yet but I hope it improves. I thought this was going to be a suspense romance . The suspense part is right.
I just finished episode 4 and what a sad story so far. Only 2 episodes left. It will be interesting where it goes from here.
I finished the series and the ending was OK but definitely I won't be re-watching it. I agree with what others have said that it should have just been in the youth/ drama category not BL.

Watch this it is a great show

I really like this show. I hope they make a season 2. I think they have done a great job with this show. The main character has Autism. The actress is doing a great job portraying this character. I have a 15 year old son that has autism. Many of the issues that the show raises are spot on to the reality of living with autism. I love the balance of support and also discrimination shown. I wish they would develop the romance a little more between Attorney Woo and Lee Jun-ho. Lee Jun ho needs to stop calling attorney Woo so formally and call her by her first name. I have already re watched many of the episodes. I like the cases and the personal drama,

not the same actors from unforgotten night

The parent story is Unforgotten Night but the actors are different for this series even though the characters are the same. In all the reviews no one has mentioned this. I was disappointed. It is interesting that they have chosen to cast younger actors . With the subject matter and the fact that Day was the bodyguard for MR. Kamol for many years. Day should be in his 30's. In Unforgotten night Mr. Kim is 27 years old. This story takes place 3 years later. It was established that Day and Mr. Kim went to College together. If Day was the same age as Mr. Kim, he would be in his 30's .It would have been nice to see the same actors that played in Unforgotten night play in this series.

Now I know, this is a different series so it will be interesting to see how the series develops. If you can wade through episode 1 it starts getting better with episode 2. I have hopes that it will continue to improve. If you want a normal relationship then this is definitely not the series for you. I hope to see ITT grow and mature as the series progresses. I will admit that him whining about cake and insisting that Day deliver the cake was extremely annoying and childish. I am giving this series a 6 but i hope as the series progresses that I can improve the score.
I really liked episode 3. It was great to see MR. Kamol and Mr. Kim. This episode was the best so far. The story could use improvement but it is improving with more episodes.

Slapstick Humor -Watch and turn your brain off.

So far there is not much of a plot. A modern day girl get's transported to what looks like the 1800's. She is totally clueless and breaks a jar and signs a contract without reading it and basically sells herself into slavery. There have been some funny moments but something tells me it won't have much of a plot. Watch it, if you are bored and like time travel.
I have watched up to 4 episode and it is getting a little better. It's kinda of predictable where the story is going to go. But I am enjoying it well enough for what it is. Just don't analyze any plot holes like how a cell phone at 15% battery can still work the next day or how a cell phone can work in ancient days. Like I said turn off your brain and it's OK.

I really l;loved season 1 . Very disappointed in episode 2 . The first episode was basically a recap of the first season. I felt like it was well done. Without spoiling the plot let's just say that episode 2 felt hurried and not very well thought out. It felt rushed and like it was making a big jump from the end of season 1 to the beginning off season 2. I didn't like the way the story line was headed. In fact I watched half the episode and then stopped. I will try it again but not at 10 pm at night. I don't need ghosts in my dreams. I hope it gets better in subsequent episodes.

what a confusing mess

I gave up after 3 episodes. I love time travel series and really wanted to like it this one. However there is no starting place and really no context from which to start to understand the series. Maybe it would get better with time ? I guess i just don't want to wade through the confusion..
I think if it had a better script and editing so you know what the heck is going on then the series could have potential and that potential could have been realized.
It jumps around so quickly that before you start to even get invested in the story it has changed to another story and another time. I did like the costumes though in what I guess would be the 40's.
