The Most Ridiculous KDrama I've Ever Watch
I'm attached to this drama since season 2. Even though the storyline kinda annoying (coz cheating and betrayal never be my cup of tea), but I love the "reasonable dialogs" especially between Pi Yong and Yoo Shin's divorce argument. Some dialogs make me assume that the writer is smart.... I thought. Everything just keep going downhillWhen S3 begin, I was surprise coz Sung Hoon and Lee Tae Gon stated that they will not joining the season. Like... why??? They're both are the only actors with great track record in this series, while the others track record is as supporting actors with only Jeong Noh Min is the only supporting actor with great track record.
The reason definitely not because of the payment or schedule (coz they're both leads and they're schedule must comes first). Left me with the script as the last reason. And my suspiciousness comes to reality.
This strength my opinion on why Sung Hoon turned down this drama.....
Another horror mix is the appearance of ghost Song Won. Song Won is die at eps 1 due to childbirth. Sa Hun becomes very silent and refuse to talk until eps 9, he even can't see Hye Ryung who walk passed him . Ghost Song Won then... possessed Hye Ryung, at the end of eps 9.... and at eps 10, Sa Hun appear with "brain CGI" and the CGI makes me think that he looks at Hye Ryung as So Won.
So I thought "Ok, she got possessed and she got So Won appearance in Sa Hun eyes". But, why Sa Hun is not confused at all looking at his dead mistress comes to life? The CGI also wanted the viewers know that So Won still in Hye Ryung's body... coz her acting is not good enough to show this.
He starts smiling and treating Hye Ryung nicely, and he asks about her job as an announcer....... so.... he knews this is not So Won??? Sa Hun also asks her to remarried with him..... this moment makes me understand why Sung Hoon turned down this season.
Now, Tae Gon's reason, is just as mind blowing....
end of S2 surprised me coz it spilled that Pi Young married with Dong Ma. How? Why? Dong Ma is Ga Bin's boyfriend and they're not even talk in 2 seasons. I thought she'll ends up with Seo Ban since their chemistry is great. And the reason tuned out to be............ They happened to cross paths at a clinic, and Pi Yong screamed loudly due to the pain, regardless of her status as a high-class woman. And Dong Ma... bewitched by her scream!!! Yeps, it's her scream that makes him thinks that she's his soulmate and wanted to married her (am I the only one who think this is nonsense ridiculous doesn't make any sense???).
He is SOOOOO BEWITCHED by the scream, he hears it everywhere he goes since then, he even asks Ga Bin to scream too. He break up with Ga Bin, after Ga Bin rejected to scream....
Like it was yesterday he steals Ga Bin from her fiancé, even promised to married her. Now, he suddenly break up with her and... asks Pi Young for dinner and..... asks her to MARRIED HIM... and I'm just stunned with big-mouth open emoji on my face. What on earth any women with normal common sense will agree to this?
Pi Young aggreed just because of... why??? His kindness or what??? I'm seriously think that if Dong Ma is ugly and not as rich as hell, I'm strongly believe that Pi Young will reject and even report him to the police for stalker... because the whole situation is just amazingly ridiculous makes my brains cramp.
Seo Ban himself suddenly turns out to be Shi Eun's childhood friend and he says "actually I liked you as a child"... and Shi Eun agrees to accept Seo Ban's proposal....
I don't think I can continue with this ridiculously mind-blowing stories.... The acting is not great too. Park Joo Mi (Pi Young) often has to doing aegyo. But her aegyo totally makes me want to slap her.

Stress Free Drama
This drama has a promising premise, in my opinion. I think this would be better if it's wrapped up in 12 episodes, but it chooses to be a 24 episodes drama.I'm from the psychology area, I can say the writer knows NOTHING about this kind of disorder, and have no interest in psychology either. If I rant about the psychology area, the wrong approach that the FL use to cure him, how he can casually change from Ming Dynasty to the present time, why can't the FL even be able to overcome her trauma (she's a therapist for GOD shake), etc, I'll end up writing a ranting novel. I'll write some basics which annoyed me the most.
First of all, a therapist will definitely lose their license if they're having a romantic relationship with their patients. Big NO.
This is quoted from the drama's page "Involved in a car accident at a young age, he developed a strange neurosis that worsened with time. Believing he is the Ming Dynasty’s Emperor Jianwen , Xuan Wen cares only for the prosperity of his imaginary empire." Judging from that statement, the ML's suffering from SEVERE Delusional disorders, this disorder will never occur due to an accident. And as his condition in the drama, this will take years.
Why this annoyed me the most, is because in the drama he has a psychiatrist (the FL's boss) who diagnosed ML with the disorder. Not to mention the FL and the second FL are both therapists... so...basically, he can easily trick 3 licensed psychologists??? Something that even the uncle the FL's brother can easily figure out but somehow these 3 psychologists can't?? Is the writer really think we are that idiot? We can diagnose a psychopath, there's no way a mere CEO can easily trick us. We can spot people who really need our help VS a liar in less than 30 minutes interview
I think it will be more logical if after the accident the ML found out someone wants to kill him. In his effort to find the perpetrator, he pretends that he's suffering from delusional disorder and hire a therapist to join and support his plot so that it looks more believable and people around him believe that he is not in a normal mental state.
This also means that the ML and FL can have a romantic relationship since he is not her patient. What's the point of tricking her anyway?
What can I say, the writer is just too lazy to study.
I can enjoy watching it without skipping any parts just until ep 7, but then, it is just too boring. Too many unnecessary sweet scenes of the main couple. If you watch until ep 8 and jump to ep 16, you really won't miss anything.
This drama is totally stress-free. I can't find a cunningly devilish villain in it. I also like how she can calmly face her heartbreaking. Overall, messy storyline with zero knowledge of the area it tried to raise about, but still worth watching.

This drama will be loved by those who like the male lead (ML) that willing to do anything, directly ASAP do anything to safe to protect the female lead (FL). I don't hate it, thanks to some lakorn I saw, my mental endurance is stronger now. Though, in some scenes, I still unable to endure the FL's idiotic act. Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the character, not any actors or actresses. Pictured you find your whole family is massacred, then when you find your father and has a change to talk to him. Suddenly, a group of police/government officers come to your house... normal people will think that these officers come to safe you. But this FL, think that they are the one who kill her family, lol. Not to mention her mother treasured her, won't let her get out from the house, until none of the people in the city have even see her. That's means, she supposed to be in the house to watch the killing.
Also the scene when she wants to search for some clues from ML's room, and she does it when he's asleep... while she can freely does it at noon while he's at work. She also said to the second male lead "the day my family massacred, I saw him barged into my house." They already dead when he come... not to mention you even more early than he is, my Dear.... with a group of officers too???. The writer wants to create a miss understanding between the leads and wants the FL hate the ML... but the writer's idea is totally weird
The other part that not making sense, is when the ML make FL to shoot some villains... how can a man let a woman that he love get mental traumatize? This drama remind me with Falling in Love (same plot, same era), but the FL just too idiot compare to Mu Wan QIng who carefully planning her revenge. I hope the development in the future episode will be better
But, this is still watchable. What make it even more loveable for me is that it has 30 episodes with less than 12 minutes each. Totally worth your time to watch it

If Your Time is Precious, Find Another Drama
First of all, I don't know why Thai BL EXTREMELY LOVES the Faculty of Engineering. There's too many interesting and challenging major out there, why do they consider Engineering is the ONLY faculty that has the coolest and manliest students the most?The plot is not something new, about the nerd who got pushed by one of the teachers to help the problem student.... or threatened... (the teacher is too pushy for me... why in a world she makes her student do her job????), too many misunderstand between this couple, (the Pang incident, the teacher and Pai's conversation about the club room incident...), which always ended-up by Itt saying "I actually not mad at you"..... not mad but avoiding and doesn't speak, I wonder what he will do if he really is mad. Itt kinda annoyingly moody character.
There's no plot and story development. If I have to make a summary, I have nothing to say but "a story of a nerd who then becomes not nerd, with a troubled student who then becomes of the smartest"... I myself find my summary is weird.
While Tharn and Type is concentrating on the issue of changing the point of view of gay haters about gay, and Theory of Love is appointing issue on the pain that the main character suffers for being in love with his closest friend.... I really can't tell what this drama wants to tell. I think this drama trying to point the issue of Itt's effort to makes Pai shows everyone his value... by making him the university's moon?? Because Itt said, "I just want to make everyone know how great you are." But... I can't see Pai able to gain more friends after the event. Since at ep 1, Pai's dialog mentioned "I just want to stay invisible and graduated calmly." There's nothing wrong to become an introvert, we can also slay in everything we do by doing it quietly.
I kinda hate if a drama creates a love triangle but never gives the second lead any change. I'll hate it more if the second lead just able to forget as if his/her feeling is nothing...., why??? After all those efforts? This drama gave me that. Folk is in love with Pai since highschool and he keeps pursuing Pai's love since the orientation period, but he just gives up easily after a university program and instantly makes love with Pure.
I have no issue with Waan and Beau couple. They're sweet, though still unable to keep me stick with the series.
I dropped off this one, the only thing that makes me able to hang on until 11 episode is because I'm not binge-watch it, and watching it while doing other things.

What An Annoying Female Lead
I give up on this drama just because personally, I really hate the female lead character.Just my opinion is that her character is more likely a female villain who loves to throw herself in front of the male lead..., she doesn't care how many times he has rejected her coz she somehow has no shame.
She's in love with Shen Yan (the male lead) at the first sight due to nothing but his handsomeness and suddenly develops an obsession with him. Not because of his kindness or his else, coz she's not even known him. She even has her bodyguard investigate him due to her cluelessness about him.
She then hides his token and obsessively stalks him around... ignoring her princess status. Scheming everything she can to be able to be with him. Again, just my opinion, how low people could fall so deep in love just because of their physical appearance. Nothing more, only THE FACE.
In ep 3, there's a scene where she's throwing money in a restaurant and paying 3 silver coins for every 1 type of food she purchased..., which is what I know after watching countless dramas, silver coins consider as a big sum of money in that era. And she purchased a long table full of food... I can't imagine how much money she has been throwing! She's a princess, she's not even working, so..., she wasted people's money for her personal pleasure.... why on earth people with that kind of behavior is a protagonist??
I can't even finish ep 3 and give up at minute 18:18... she makes my day turn worst.
I just hate the kind of girl who throws her pride over a man, too much. For those who do not, might find this one interesting. If the drama turns good after ep 3, idk coz I don't watch it, but I do hope it will.
I love Zheng Ye Cheng, but, not this one, the female lead is my worst nightmare in a drama.
