THE BEST MILITARY-THEMED DRAMA THAT I'VE EVER WATCHED

This drama deserved more recognition. It's close to perfection. In my opinion, this is Yang Yang's best drama so far. He has always been a good actor but in this drama, he was no longer a mere 'good actor' but he became 'an extraordinary actor'. He carried his role as the main lead so amazingly. Not only him, but all the other casts were also did a great job.

Yan Po Yue, he is actually one of the most stubborn male lead I've ever seen in a drama. No matter what happened or what kind of opinion other people had on him, he firmly held onto his principle and beliefs. He is arrogant and self-centered. In fact, none of his superiors had a favorable impression towards him despite him being one of the most hardworking and strong soldier in the training.

''Yan Po Yue is too obsessed with individual heroism. He might be the strongest among his teammates but he is not suitable to be called as the best soldier yet because for him, his comrades are not more than just a tool to complete the missions'' - That's how the captain of Cheetah Commando, Qin Feng described Yan Po Yue.

If I remember correctly, it's not until episodes 35-38 that Yan Po Yue completely realized that the belief that he strongly had before was the biggest flaw in his life. Due to him being over-confident with his skills, his friend cum his old comrade, Xuo Tian from Kitchen Squad (the first unit that he was assigned for), sacrificed himself to protect Yan Po Yue. The death of Xuo Tian was the turning point in Yan Po Yue's life. From then on, he reflected on himself and thus, a 'new' Yan Po Yue was reborn. Well, he's still the same Yan Po Yue as before as in his appearance, his strength and intelligence but with a lot more humble personality. His superiors could finally felt relieved that Yan Po Yue had finally changed his mindset.

Xiao Yun Jie. He is the 2nd most noticeable character in this drama after Yan Po Yue. He is Yan Po Yue's best friend. They've known each other since their school days. No one understands Yan Po Yue better than him. He and Yan Po Yue were known by the entire military camp as 1+1. Whenever these two were together, they would always make trouble. A real troublemaker duo. I really like his character. He spoke up for Yan Po Yue every time Yan Po Yue got caught into some troubles. In fact, Xiao Yun Jie was willing to sacrifice himself for Yan Po Yue's sake. Whenever Yan Po Yue's life was in danger, he might be the first person to step forward and demand to exchange Yan Po Yue's life with his. It's the same with Yan Po Yue too. He was ready to do anything for Xiao Yun Jie's sake. When Xiao Yun Jie got badly injured by a mortar shot by the enemy, he went incredibly angry and ran straight up towards the enemy's mortar base. With amazing speed and skills, he single-handedly destroyed that mortar base thus, alerting the enemy that there was a 'crazy and wild soldier' out there who's on his way to kill them.

Guo Xiao Xiao, a sniper. Originally used to work alone but after joining Cheetah Commando, she slowly started to accept her comrades. Yan Po Yue and Guo Xiao Xiao were especially had the best chemistry with each other. When Yan Po Yue bravely took actions upfront, Guo Xiao Xiao would cover his back. She was an exceptional sniper and Yan Po Yue was an exceptional fighter so that's why I said their chemistry is the best in this drama. They worked so well together. There were multiple times that when Yan Po Yue thought that he was so hopeless and he might die, but Guo Xiao Xiao always managed to appear before him and saved him.

There are many other characters too that were equally important in this drama such as Staff Officer Ai, a female officer who cared a lot about Yan Po Yue. She was the first person that Yan Po Yue opened up to about his past and thus, making her as one of the people who Yan Po Yue could depend on emotionally. Then, we have Yan Po Yue's comrades in Cheetah Commando. Bai Long, Cao Ben, Xiao Yun Jie, Guo Xiao Xiao, Xu Yang, and Yue Kong. They went through so many things together. They're like Yan Po Yue's family. My eyes were brimming with tears when one of them died during the mission. Next, we have Qin Feng, Li Xiang, Lu Tu, Fan Jin, and Zhang Yin Ting. They were Yan Po Yue's superiors. Qin Feng was Cheetah Commado's captain. He was the one contributed the most to Yan Po Yue's growth as a soldier. Li Xiang was the commander of Yan Po Yue's original company when he first enlisted. He always gave a cold shoulder to Yan Po Yue but deep inside, he wanted him to grow up and learn how to become the best soldier. Lu Tu was instructor and vice-captain of Cheetah Commando. He saw Yan Po Yue's potential and he always gave his best in teaching him. He would also speak up for Yan Po Yue because he did not want him to fall behind. Fan Jin was the squad leader of Kitchen Squad. He was Yan Po Yue's first ever mentor aside from his father. He took Yan Po Yue as his student because he knew that Yan Po Yue's dream to become the strongest soldier. In fact, everyone knew that Fan Jin was the first person who managed to tame Yan Po Yue's stubbornness. Zhang Yi Ting was the squad leader for Special Service Unit, the unit that Yan Po Yue was in after Kitchen Squad. His leadership won Yan Po Yue's trust and Yan Po Yue put a lot of trust in him. Last but not least, we have Luo Xiao Tian, a soldier from Kitchen Squad and also a part of the troublemaker trio (with Yan Po Yue and Xiao Yun Jie). Like I've said before, his death was the turning point in Yan Po Yue's life. It create a Yan Po Yue that was a lot stronger physically and mentally.

I wrote such a long essay about Yan Po Yue and people around him because I am very impressed with all characters. Every single one of them are memorable including the villains. Overall, I am very satisfied with this drama and I appreciate the efforts of all the casts and the production teams in creating this masterpiece.

A DRAMA THAT WORTH THE WAIT AND HIGH REWATCH VALUE

I simply wanted to say that Tong Yao is the best and luckiest female lead in a cdrama ever. I mean first of all, she managed to get a handsome, rich, popular and capable boyfriend like Lu Si Cheng, She also had a gorgeous, supportive and loaded best friend like Chen Jin Yang. Her parents were her biggest supporter. Besides, she got recruited as a professional esport player by ZGDX, known as the top esport team in China. Her teammates treated her like a princess. Not only that but basically most of the players from the other teams also respected her.

The chemistry between Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao are amazing. Even in the behind the scene's videos, we can obviously see that they clicked well. Their interaction in the drama are the main reason on why this drama has been gaining a huge popularity from international fans.

Falling Into Your Smile deserves to be called as the latest global sensation nowadays. It's a viral hit drama and people loved it because it is a perfect stress-relieved item for us who just wanted something sweet and meaningful to watch. Plus, there's a lot of wonderful and memorable quotes or dialogues in this drama.

"Love is a spark coming from noewhere to eternity. When I realized it, I'm already deep in love" - Lu Si Cheng (in the scene where LSC confessed to Little Fatty about how he felt in love with TY)
"Some people said that the meaning of love is probably, suddenly there's a person who can give you everything you want in this world within their own capabilities" - Tong Yao


Last but not least, the OSTs are really good. My fav would be Soulmate by Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao, Everytime by WAYV and Edge by Naomi Wong and I especially like Soulmate because Xu Kai said in an interview of the OSTs making video that other people can sing the song but the lines "We've never needed words because our eyes conveyed the messages" was belong only to Tong Yao and Lu Si Cheng. I was like wahhhh My heart fluttered when he said that. It's as if we're not the only one who admiring Tong Yao&Lu Si Cheng CP but the actors themselves also acknowledged the chemistry between them.

BEST LAKORN EVER

My mood after finished watching this drama : 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍
It's a very heartwarming romantic-comedy drama. This drama came out 2yrs ago but I only watched it in 2022. I'm late to the party lmao but I'm still grateful that I decided to watch this. I think My Forever Sunshine might be Mark Prin's best drama ever.

What I like the most about this drama is the chemistry between Mark and Kao. I mean they looked so in love with each other that if both of them are still single, I would've suspect that they were catching some real feelings for each other lol In terms of visual and appearance, Kao is Mark's most compatible partner so far. Mark's past female co-stars were mostly quite tall and had a model-like figure but Kao is petite and she has a small body frame. Seeing how she perfectly fitted in Mark's arms during their hugging scenes are so heart-fluttering.

So, the storyline is amazing. Paeng is actually one of the best female lead in lakorn ever. Her character development is insanely good. The title of this drama itself was about how Arthit is the sunshine of her life. The drama revolved around her life. Everyone thought Paeng as just a spoiled rich girl so she had a hard time in making friends. She had no friend and she craved for her parents' affection. Arthit was her first friend and also the person who understood her the most. That's why she desperately tried to hold onto him to the point that her innocent first love for Arthit became an obsession. Paeng, at 15years-old, she was young, immatured, childish, bold, reckless and careless. However, after 6yrs, she returned as new version of Paeng, she was a lot calmer, forgiving and strong but her personality as a bold, honest, and straightforward girl were still there. Even though she promised to do anything to get Arthit's forgiveness, but she ain't go down without a fight. She could take the bullying but if it went too far, she would fight for justice lol That's why Arthit couldn't win over her.

After experiencing a life-changing car accident which was partly due to Paeng, Arthit, a gentle and kind man who was always pampering Paeng changed into an impatient and cold man. He hated Paeng. When Paeng returned home after 6yrs, he bullied her so much but at the same time he couldn't help but worried about her. To be honest, in my opinion, most of his bullying was part of his life lessons to Paeng. He wanted to train her by making her worked here and there so that she could manage her own rose garden but due to his ego and pride, he unintentionally making Paeng angry and misunderstood his purposes. Then, in that process, he realized that he had feelings for her after all.

After they reconciled, the viewers would be getting tons of sweet and heartwarming scenes from Arthit and Paeng. The scene where they were watching the sunset and Arthit confessed his feelings towards Paeng. Paeng said that she didn't dare to love him anymore. The experience was too scary and traumatic for her but Arthit promised her that if she loved him again, he would never allow those traumatic events to happen again. Then, they had their first genuine kiss 😘 There's also the scene where Paeng proposed to Arthit by confessing her feelings loudly through the microphone and speaker. She wanted everyone to know that Arthit is the only person that managed to enter her life and successfully became her sunshine. Last but not least, the chaotic-yet-sweet wedding scene. This is my fav scene from this drama. Arthit and Paeng's gazes towards each other that were filled with love and affection. Arthit's smiles when Paeng kissed him first.

Overall, if you wanted to watch a complete romance-friendship-family type of drama, then My Forever Sunshine is the perfect one.
