GOOD BUT OK. Not the best show DGZ

I am quite disappointed with the story.

The FL is a bit like the star of the show and I felt the drama quite feminist. Finally it's a good thing compared to the usual clichés of women in the Republican era dramas but this FL was quite boring and had nothing badass. She looked like a bad second lead rather than a nice heroine with a heart.

The KISS were rather good, but I didn't feel a palpable chemistry (but it’s was better ep 16). I still stay on maids revenge which remains her best performance. However, the story was a little less overplayed than maids revenge. I found the villain more "credible" and I liked that there were fewer low blows than usual.

I would like to see DGZ in a serious role and a long drama now!!!

BEST CDRAMA OFFICE ROMANCE

OF COURSE I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BECAUSE CHEN XINGXU IS MY FAVORITE ACTOR. HOWEVER, THE 36 EPISODES AND THE BACKGROUND THEME "LAW" SCARED ME A LITTLE. FINALLY, I DIDN'T GET BORED FOR A SINGLE SECOND! THE BEGINNING IS VERY CRACKING BECAUSE CXX IS EXPRESSIVE AND DESPITE HIS LACK OF SMILE, HE ALWAYS MANAGES TO MAKE US UNDERSTAND WHAT HE HAS IN MIND. THE DRAMA IS FUNNY, BENEVOLENT, THERE ARE CASES OF VERY INTERESTING AND ENGAGING RIGHTS. THE RHYTHM OF THE DRAMA IS GOOD. CHEN YAO IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE SHE IS A PERFECT GIRL THAT I SAW GROW UP FROM THE GIRL AT THE FEET OF HER BOSS TO THE INDEPENDENT GIRL WHO ASSERTS HERSELF.

EVERYONE HAS BENEFITED FROM AN EVOLUTION. THE ROMANCE ARRIVES LATE BUT AS A RESULT IT IS UNCOMFOLDED. ON THE PROGRAM OF SMALL SWEET MOMENTS BUT NOTHING "HOT" THEY ARE A PERFECT AND BENEVOLENT COUPLE AND THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER TO PERFECTION. I LOVED THE OST EVEN IF THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH (2/3...) I HAD A GREAT TIME AND I WILL MISS THE HUMAN WARMTH OF THE EVEN SECONDARY PROTAGONISTS BECAUSE I WAS ATTACHED TO EVERYONE. IT IS GENERALLY AN OFFICE ROMANCE WITHOUT FAIL. EXCEPT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MARRIAGE WE WERE WAITING FOR! THIS IS MY FIRST FAVORITE OF 2024!

BEST K-BL 2024

Nam Yoon Su undoubtedly delivered his most brilliant performance as an actor. From the beginning, I grasped the depth of the experience that awaited me. A show anchored in a raw, harsh, painful, but authentic reality. The work portrays with sublimated darkness the daily life of a young gay man in Seoul, exposing the inquisitive gaze of society and his family's opposition to his sexuality. He appears as a dynamic, playful figure, at the forefront of fashion, surrounded by a multitude of friends but carrying in him a sensitivity on the surface of the skin, chaining conquests without ever finding the chosen one of his heart. The true journey of our protagonist lies in his self-acceptance and his hopeless quest for love, a quest full of pitfalls. What particularly touched me was his kindness towards his mother despite her lack of support. I was receptive to solidarity between him and his roommate, who, on the contrary, gave in to family expectations. Despite divergent aspirations, their mutual support was unwavering, and I greatly appreciated their friendship, stronger than blood ties.

Each of his relationships had its charm, and each partner, in a somewhat strange way, revealed new facets of our heroes, creating a captivating dynamic where exchanges enriched them, sometimes without words, simply through a visually striking and disturbing carnal relationship for those used to seeing Nam Yoon Su in more reserved roles. I was fascinated by the wisdom of life transmitted through the dialogues of the characters, their erudition, their questions about identity and the quest for oneself. However, I would have a reservation about HIV prevention, sometimes addressed lightly: an approach like "okay for this time without protection" as if it were an option. On the cinematographic level, many scenes are distinguished by their remarkable staging. Although the entire BL is tinged with dark, often nocturnal or confined to the apartment, the shots always remain sublime. Nam Yoon Su has been able to create a synergy with each of his partners, carrying me as a time in his loneliness and pain. His interpretation deeply moved me, and I found this BL work of striking depth and realism. I can only warmly recommend it! 20/20.

THE BEST DHEVAPROM FOR ME AND FOR THE THAILAND

For me he will forever remain the best dhevaprom, and also the one that has been the most successful in Thailand.

The causes: magnificent OSTs, including 1 sung by PEAK (great idol in Thailand and main lead)

- the main couple has become a real couple in life.

- the visuals were more worked than in the others

- the casting is young, really young.

- the alchemy of the couple is undeniable

DUJAPSORN signs an ultra romantic phase in the DHEVAPROM universe and all this general atmosphere between the music and the characters and the hard scenes with RUMPA and his daughter, really filled me with a whirlwind of emotion. I really liked it too much and I'm still addicted to drama.

BEST THRILLER WITH « YOUR HONOR » in summer 2024 for me !

AT FIRST GLANCE, THE TRAILER PROVED PROMISING, BUT I AM ALWAYS ON MY GUARD AGAINST THIS TYPE OF PROMISE. OFTEN, ONCE IMMERSED IN THE STORY, EXPECTATIONS COLLAPSE, FAILING TO MATCH THE ENTHUSIASM AROUSED BY THE TRAILER. YET, HERE, REALITY EXCEEDED MY CRAZIEST EXPECTATIONS.

AFTER BEING INTRODUCED TO THE OWNERS OF BOTH ERAS, WE QUICKLY ENTER A HOT SCHOOL ATMOSPHERE, WHERE A PROVOCATIVE AND ENIGMATIC "GO MIN SI" EVOLVES. THE PLOT IS REVEALED WITHOUT DELAY, AND IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT SHE IS NOT THERE TO HAVE FUN WITH MEN, BUT RATHER TO FREE HER TORTUOUS SPIRIT. IT IS AN UNJUSTIFIED EXPRESSION, A PSYCHOLOGICAL FACET OF ITSELF THAT REACHES PEAKS OF PARADOX. SHE PAINTS, STRUTS IN A LUXURY CAR, LIKE A SPOILED HEIRESS, WHILE POORLY HIDING HER BLOODTY NATURE.

THE HEAVY ATMOSPHERE, THE AMBIENT SOUNDS, THIS ALMOST LOCK-UP INSIDE THE SUMPTUOUS HOTEL OF MODERN TIMES, AND THESE STRIKING METAPHORS ON FROGS THAT HAVE NOT ASKED FOR ANYTHING, ALL THIS ENCOURAGES REFLECTION. WHY COULD SUCH HORRORS FALL ON US, WHEN WE HAVE NOT REQUESTED ANYTHING? BY A WHIM OF KARMA? BY AN EXCESS OF BENEVOLENCE? OR SIMPLY FOR CLOSING YOUR EYES AT THE WRONG TIME?

KIM YOON SEOK HAS DONE A REMARKABLE JOB ALONGSIDE GO MIN SI. TOGETHER, THEY WERE ABLE, THROUGH THEIR CHARACTERS, TO ESTABLISH A CLIMATE OF HATRED MIXED WITH COMPLICITY, DESTINED FOR THE WORST. THE PALPABLE TENSION BETWEEN THEM, AS WELL AS THE MOMENTS OF ACTION, WERE OF SUCH AN IMMERSIVE INTENSITY THAT I FOUND MYSELF, CAPTIVE, WONDERING WHO WOULD WIN UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. THE FIRST OWNER DID NOT MARK ME, BUT THE YOUNG SNIPER IN SEARCH OF REVENGE WOULD HAVE DESERVED A GREATER PLACE ON THE SCREEN.

OVERALL, I WAS CONQUERED BY THIS THRILLER, WHICH WAS ABLE TO AVOID SLOWNESS, OR AT LEAST, IT PROVED RELEVANT. ONE OF THE STRENGTHS UNDENIABLY LIES IN THE INTERPRETATION OF GO MIN SI, WHOSE SCENIC EXPRESSIONS ARE OF STRIKING DEPTH. HOWEVER, I CANNOT HELP BUT POINT OUT A SLIGHT DOWNSIDE: THE MOTIVATIONS OF HIS CHARACTER REMAIN OBSCURE, AND HIS ACTIONS, IN A CERTAIN WAY, ESCAPE ANY FORM OF PUNISHMENT.

I WARMLY RECOMMEND THIS KDRAMA!

19/20

BEST HISTORICAL CHINESE EVER !

I want to cry just to write this review. The Drama overwhelmed me with intense emotions at each episode whether it was joy, anxiety, fear, sadness. I was amazed by the exceptional quality of the special effects. The story has no respite, I did not find any useless length and each character is well developed. I like the chronology of the story and the fact that nothing is left to chance, we have all the answers to our questions. The romance between the two leads was solar and of ultimate confidence. The kind of solid relationship that can challenge everything together. One does not go into the other despite their various responsibilities and they have never been truly separated or far from the other for too long and that too was pleasant. I really liked the nice second leads also who all had their endearing personality regardless of their personal motivation. I had a preference for the world of immortals and mortals but paradise was not so bad also by knowing them all. In this Drama which is a masterpiece in my opinion that has very well respected the original novel work, I had my dose of everything: Beautiful romance, many kisses, avoided clichés, breathtaking fights, super OST (all great) captivating story with meaning to finish on a happy ending.

It's a Drama that I HIGHLY recommend because it's really a ref and one of my favorites now.

BIG JOKE NO JOKE

IT'S RARE THAT I FINISH A LONG AND MODERN LAKORN SINCE 2020. AND THIS ONE I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I SUCCEEDED WHEN EVERYTHING IS DONE TO MAKE YOU ANGRY WITHOUT LAUGHING! THE STORY RESEMBLES THAT OF CINDERELLA ON PAPER. BUT SHE IS MUCH LESS GLORIOUS...

INDEED, THE LEAD IS FORCED TO TRY TO BECOME RICH TO SATISFY HER POOR PARENTS WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FINDING A SOLUTION THEMSELVES. PREFERRING TO BET THEIR FUTURE ON THE UNDOUBTED BEAUTY OF THEIR DAUGHTER

THIS ONE OBVIOUSLY ATTRACTING THE FAVOR OF THREE RICH MEN VERY QUICKLY, EVEN 4 INCLUDING HER BOSS, QUICKLY FINDS HERSELF OVERWHELMED BY ALL HER STATEMENTS, GIFT REQUESTS ETC...

BUT DO YOU TELL YOURSELF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?

4 GUYS FOR HER THERE IS ONLY TO CHOOSE!
THE PROBLEM IS THAT:

1) THE FIRST GENTLEMAN HAS A COMPLETELY CRAZY MOTHER WHO LIVES ONLY FOR HIM AND DOES NOT LET A SINGLE FRACTION OF THE SECOND BREATHE GOING SO FAR AS TO HAVE A PRIVATE DETECTIVE ASSISTANT WHO FOLLOWS HIM ALL THE TIME.

2) THE SECOND IS COMPLETELY CRAZY HIMSELF, VIOLENT, ARROGANT WHO THROWS THE MONEY THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND REFUSES TO BE TOLD NO. NOT TO MENTION THAT HIS MOTHER IS PAYING FOR A TOY BOY

3) THE THIRD WHO IS THE TOY BOY OF THE MOTHER OF THE SECOND IS THE MOST LOVING BUT HE ALSO PLAYS THE FAKE RICH LIKE THE LEAD AND HE HAS A COMPLETELY CRAZY FATHER WHO DRINKS AND FORCES HIS SON TO DEFEAT RICH WOMEN

4) THE FOURTH IS HIS BOSS, OLD "UGLY" WHO SAYS THAT HE WILL DIVORCE HIS WIFE FOR YEARS BUT IS STILL WITH AND WANTS THE CREAM THE BUTTER AND THE C*** OF THE CREAM
SO A SENSIBLE PERSON WOULD SAY...

WELL TOO BAD FOR MY PARENTS BUT EVERYTHING IS THROWN AWAY NONE IS MADE FOR ME THEY ALL HAVE A PROBLEM.

WELL, NO! MADAME DECIDES TO GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BY GOING OUT, KISSING OR LEAVING DOORS OPEN.

IT'S NOT!

CLEARLY THE 1ST WAS MY FAVORITE FROM THE BEGINNING AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS CHARACTER CLEARLY BROKE THE SHOW FOR ME. THERE ARE A LOT OF INCOHERENT MOMENTS OF PASSAGES WHERE WE WANT TO SHAKE EVERYONE BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS ABNORMAL REACTIONS AND ACTIONS.

WHY DID I CONTINUE? I THINK THE FIRST PART FOR ROMEO N°1 AND 3 BECAUSE I SAW IN THEM A POTENTIAL BRIGHT FUTURE FOR HER.
BUT THE LAST PART WHEN ROMEO 1 AND 4 DID SHIT OR HAD A BAD FATE I CLEARLY FINISHED THE DRAMA TO FINISH IT WITHOUT CONVICTIONS.

BY MIRACLE I MANAGED TO SHED A TEAR IN THE LAST EPISODE (24) WHEN ONE OF THE CHARACTERS FINALLY HAD A FLOOR THAT LIT UP IN HIS BRAIN THAT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY TURNED ON FOR 10 EPISODES BACK BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER AS THEY SAY LOL

IN THE END, THE LESSON I LEARNED FROM ALL THIS?

BETTER TO BE POOR WITH VALUES THAN RICH AND ROTTEN TO THE BONE!
IN CONCLUSION, IS

I RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA?

I THINK THAT IF YOU WRITE A THESIS ON THE LACK OF NEURONS IN PEOPLE WITH GREED IN THE CONTEXT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES, IT WILL BE VERY FRUITFUL.

OTHERWISE GO YOUR WAY I'LL SAVE YOU 25 HOURS OF SUFFERING.

BEFORE I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD SHOW BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY MISTAKES ON THE LAST ACT

OVERALL RATING: 9/20

KISS: 15/20

HISTORY: 2/20

CHARACTERS: 2/20

CINEMATOGRAPHY: 12/20

ENDING: 12/20

MUSIC: 11/20

A LOT OF THINGS WAS BEAUTIFUL BUT A LOT OF BULLSH*TS TOO

The beginning was laborious and toxic but the acting, chemistry, the visuals and music caught up with a lot of things... YOUKU had to fall back into his old demons, their secret pleasure I named: THE SAD ENDINGS. They really have to stop being so melodramatic... especially when it doesn't make sense , die for free!

I loved the characters who are beginner actors and who were really convincing in their roles but unfortunately too many unnecessary misunderstandings.... Unexplained things without really meaning... a disastrous end that they want to promote "beautiful" but in fact it's shit...

I am generally disappointed because I was very addicted to this drama for a few weeks!

BEST SCHOOL 2024 for sure !

It is with a lot of emotion that I write this review because episode 8 left me in tears but with joy, I reassure you.

High school return of a gangster tells the story of a gang leader who sees his mind transferred to the body of a high school after an accident with him that will cost him his life. At first glance I think directly of DUDE IN ME, a Korean film that I loved for its concept of a confident adult who enters the body of a high school without insurance. We find this same vibe and that's why I hooked directly. Although the drama is inspired by the yaoi novel indeed here we censor and get our hands on a gay romance preferring a bro-mance that is just as strong and significant. Let me tell you that even 8 episodes are too few because I don't feel like I'm wasting my time watching this drama with an enormous amount of interesting and positive content in terms of morality. We therefore follow the new life of the gangster in this new body where he has a second chance in life to succeed while conducting a good deed for the body and the person he occupies. We follow both school adventures, through review sessions with friends, violence and justice towards his host's former executioners and also very fun moments when he behaves like a padré at his age and everyone makes him big eyes when he speaks like an old man xD it was epic. we address the theme of fatherhood, school failure, school harassment, friendship. There are also sub-stories related to the upstream gang that takes us out of the school circle as well. I had a great time with them and I appreciated that the executioners had a lesson, something that had not been done in hierarchy, here we took the necessary measures, and to close in style, the final is surprising and tearful an end really that I had not seen coming and of which I am really delighted. I enjoyed the acting of the protagonists: the actor Jae Hyeon made a lot go through the look and had a lot of charm and sensitivity. And finally the hero, the actor chan young was incredible because he managed to play two caps, both the old fearful and introverted yi heon, and the new yi heon totally extroverted determined and dark, in addition to having to think and behave like an adult! I say hat. A great school and surely the best of the year! I fully recommend. 10/10 !!!
