My absolute favorite episode! !!! Obsessed is pretty much a psychological thriller, and the main leads, just wow!! INSANE chemistry, fucking good acting, and just so intense!!! Bernard He played the tiny bit sociopathic Jin Teng and it's like ok he wasn’t actually sociopathic he just appeared to be that way because clearly he's one of those people whose parents and home atmosphere doesn't raise them to express their emotions right. So even when inside he's completely obsessed with Yi Chen on the surface he comes across as overbearing and when he gets scared of Yi Chen leaving he shows that in strange ways too. Teddy Ren played Yi Chen, who is desperately in love with Jin Teng and becomes a total doormat and that leads to some dire consequences. Anyway seriously, this was so good! History is one of my favorite series now.

This is another one of those films where words fail to describe what you actually feel. Ok, let me tell you that poster and even the trailer are completely misleading. Because if you are looking for the usual BL storyline and clichés you'll be disappointed. This movie is truly ART. The way it takes two strangers and slowly building their relationship and you end up falling in love so fast there's no going back. The thing is while many chemical reactions bring the feeling of 'love' or 'crush' this movie emphasizes the one thing most people these days tend to forget - to love is to be there foir the person no matter what and its caring and loving them even when they least deserve it sometimes. It talks about the way the cruelty of abuse and bullying doesn't ever leave you, it becomes an endless cycle. That teachers aren't always the heroic professionals they're supposed to be. That the reason you're told to 'walk it off' or bury your feelings is because people in charge of children and adolescents don't want the burden of responsibility and treat their children like the only reason for their existence are good grades. I know everyone wants to close their eyes and watch guilty pleasure stuff but once in a while it's important to step out of your bubble and take a look at the bleak reality of people who are suffering, and watch something that gives a voice to the ones who've been forced to suppress their feelings.

For some reason I didn't find it as good as Strong Woman or Rich Man Poor Woman which is my yardstick for a good romcom. I can't put my finger on it but there was something lacking. Despite the fact that Ahn Hyo Seop totally stole my heart and I'm in love with Yang Se Jong. Especially the ending, I guess it's way too cheesy? And how can everyone be fine when Yoo Chan confessed and was heartbroken? He's leaving too, how are they still happy? I think the uncle and nephew part of the storyline was something I was so excited about. So when he only comes back for her, and basically isn't even that bothered about him leaving, what the hell? Why did they make such a huge fuss before?

I hate when bromance story arcs are added for more viewership and despite all the fuss, in the end they ruin it. So even if the romance part is good, you can't buy a guy who is this way to his nephew, could be any better for the female lead . Honestly, Park Hyungsiks character treats Ji Soo much better than this uncle did and they weren't even related lol

Now, for the good points.

This drama is so funny and no annoying jokes either nothing too over the top. But that's not the only thing. Both male leads are gorgeous, and I do love Yang Se Jong since Duel but I'm having serious second lead syndrome because of Yoo Chan! And the animals in this drama aren't just there for decoration they're totally part of the cast lol I love that! I'm going to miss the chick and Peng.

One of my favorite jokes was Yoo Chan asking the chick if he's was hyung or oppa ^_^ LMAO

So, yes it's definitely an entertaining show and worth a watch but didn't get attached to it.

So, I just wanted to say I have been waiting for this one since I watched the trailer. but I don't know what I was high on that I remember it looking like a toxic and taboo romance lol which obviously yes please!

but I started watching and at first I didn't know what to think about the fact that it's a horror plot with hex curses and all. I mean look I love all that too, especially ffs Win looks sooo gorgeous! even more so than anything he's in before at for me personally. because damn the way he looked especially in the red coat and the other ensembles !

but okay this one is very much symbolic and everything is either a metaphor for mental health, or toxic relationships, or even fears that people who are different frequently have to suffer.

the bullying from people that turns the victim into a villain themselves, that's what the "curse" on Namsine basically stands for and I love that nuance. The whole part of 'Enigma' is done so well, I just love it.

even though like I said I wasn't sure at the start if I was going to like it but dude I was hooked by the end of ep 1!

I love gross grotesque stuff so that ending reveal blew my mind (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠) even though I pretty much said it out loud to myself that if it is him that would be BADASS and it was! lol
it was exactly as badass as I thought! I can't wait for the next season

So hard to even rate this . So much cringe ? but I also couldn't stop watching mostly because of Mac Nan. They're no Pete Vegas ? but they were my only entertainment after the rest of the show just turned out to be bland and way too cutesy.

I mean I was there to see some messed up shit and maybe some proper NC scenes between Day Itt but literally the whole plot involved Day trying to hate on Itt and regaining his memory.

Also, in the beginning Itt is the guy who everyone hates because he keeps acting entitled and keeps asking Day to do things for him and it feels like he's an asshole, but you know that's not what it felt like to me.

Basically he was definitely being manipulated by Day who admitted it! That he wants Itt to get so attached to him that he can never leave.

And then, spoiler alert, when the scene where Day beats the shit out of Itt and definitely rapes him, that was the implication right? it was really well done for sure.

it's just everyone on the show is just TRASH LOL

DAY: Manipulated and VIOLENTLY BEAT UP HIS SO CALLED BF.

ITT : Didn't do shit for Mac even when the poor guy was begging for his help.
Was pretty much involved in letting his friend Gear roofie or whatever it was actually unclear to me, and have definitely nonconsensual sex with Night , Day's actual blood brother.

Mac: Tried to rape Itt.

Nan : Forced Mac to be his human slave.

and this is basically all the main characters!

but hot damn that last episode, Non looked fine af! Everyone actually looked really good in the finale but there were still no actual details about what Gear did to Day's brother Night or why they're even together after he clearly must have done something bad to him for sure.

Rating 6 and not lower because I guess I just needed some mindless cringe and I was mostly just hate watching at first.

But whatever, just going to rate a little bit higher for Mac and Nan, the couple who don't even know what the word 'red flag' means and are definitely color blind like me. and actually pretty much everyone is, but that part is fine lol I just wished it was a little more ... less bland and cute.

like something so DARK would happen and you'd expect it to get darker and get somewhere , but then some damn boring af cute scenes between Day Itt. which frankly, were just SO BAD.

Like I love when BL shows do cute right.

like Gene Sib, or Sky Prapai, or Leo Fiat. Even Cutie pie has some great cute scenes that are adorable ! But they were just not good at all at it.

so it's not a cutesy romance and it's not a full on KP level MESSED UP either. it's just kinda meh . and that one villain ffs he was literally even more garbage than anyone else.

Spoiler alert

A damn good and addictive horror watch. Totally bingeable!

But that last episode just really pissed me off. Not just the last episode but in general there were some parts of the drama that were way too preachy.

I mean if you want to write an ENTIRE GODDAMN EPISODE showing Zee raping a girl, go ahead, it's your artistic right to show the darkness of something that heinous.

But then don't put a 'rape is wrong by the way you guys' and you keep hammering it then your writing just loses its integrity. If you don't make the underlying message subtle you'll ruin any power your script has.

First for the rape preachiness and then they did the same to the revenge plot! The last episode was basically just Lilly realizing revenge is wrong lol omg no way???! Really???? Rape is wrong????? And revenge is also wrong???? OMG I had no idea!! Ffs that's what it felt like when people get so goddamn condescending and preachy with their scripts.

So, as I've mentioned before the writing was a little weak at times. With all that gore, all the fantastic casting, and production values that felt like such a waste.

That said, I just like how to the end Zee didn't apologize to Lilly and Sonar - (side rant btw: showing Zee rape Lilly would have been enough! But they had to make him to the same to freaking Sonar! The very same night!!! Which MADE ZERO SENSE because did Sonar lack empathy this much that she could only understand Lilly if Bew raped her too?? - end of side rant) - his character was actually pretty consistent which I liked. He was toxic but in his own messed up way he did care about Lyla. But most of all his epic kind of love for someone like Nest was honestly heartbreaking. It was like he closed his heart to love when Nest refused him and then that clip was released which made his life hell just as much and provoked his asshole father to yet another cruel beating - but even when he finally found out it was Nest who did it, he didn't resent her for one second. And still wouldn't stop loving her and actually apologized to HER!


And now for the parts of the story that totally worked for me:

- Tommy and Jimmy playing Ken and Plato. They were literally my favorite! That kiss in the basketball court was just so so so wholesome! And poor Plato ! He deserved better! I just loved them together and just generally their arc was so well written! Except for the inconsistent way Ken behaves in the finale - like he was going nuts over Plato dying one second and then he was all caring for Gel????? They even died in each other's arms ffs WTAF !

- Zee(New) literally BASHING DAN'S SKULL IN. Seriously that scene messed me up. The way he reacts to it, like he's in a trance - it's obvious he loved Dan but the way that island basically turns everyone savage and makes them do this, his decent into hell was just so satisfying to watch lol as a horror/gore enthusiast. I mean he kept saying to Dan he didn't kill Mac, but in the end I think the turning from the person who he thought was his best friend, was the proverbial last nail in the coffin.

Another important thing about this drama is that literally NO ONE IS INNOCENT or redeemable even . Except for maybe Plato. Yes, actually he was the MOST INNOCENT out of them and even he cheated on the girl he was with Fone, and went along with it when Ken was cheating on Gel with him.

And Ken, who was basically acting like a good guy, basically never once tried to stand up for his true love aka Plato and in fact forced Plato to not listen to his conscience just because he was afraid Bew (Zee) would out them. Then kept up the facade of a hetero relationship only to end up cheating on her again.

Mild who, btw again the least worst lol still shot a video of Lyla and Zee because she resented the way Lyla's parents influence won against her own hard work.

Gel was just such a bad person in general, cyber bullying Lyla and bullying her in other ways with Fone. But honestly I still feel bad for Fone and felt not a thing for Gel because at least poor Fone was loyal to Gel. And the way Gel rejected her love and abandoned her but in the end acts like it's bothering her just wasn't convincing and felt like a ploy to survive when Ken goes berserk and tries to kill her.

Mac was again, the kind of protagonist you feel bad for but even Mac was kinda exploiting Nest knowing she loves him and so he was still pretty much carrying a torch for Layla and being used by her he himself feels a little immature and careless with emotions.

Bozo is honestly a forgettable character for the most part and I think that was intentional. He's the kind of person who became Zee's henchman the second he saw that would benefit him (and Mild). But I feel like what he feels for Mild is more familiarity than love which is apparent by the line Mild says "don't try to make me fall in love with you" and honestly he not only chickened out when trying to help Lilly and Sonar against Bew but throughout the story he was basically just following on other people's whims without any actual drive or responsibility.

Lyla is probably the worst and most manipulative victim mentality antagonist. Not only did she feel nothing for her sister, she was dishonest about her feelings to both Mac and Bew. She never tried to stand up to her parents for her sister. When she found out Lily got raped her only sentiment was gleeful satisfaction. She was the one who's told Bew not to apologize to Lilly and kept saying that Lily and Sonar deserved it! WTH! Probably the reason I felt instant gratification when Lilly pushed her into the water lol

Lilly and Sonar of course, I mean they were actually convincing and entertaining as the bad guys. But in the end, showing Nest surviving - I honestly don't know what the hell that was supposed to signify! I was just clueless when it happened. It's not because I was judging Nest in anyway, she had severe mental health issues especially Munchausen's syndrome and her bitch mother basically swept the incident under the rug and made her keep living as an invalid. So I get where she's coming from. She has no academic excellence, like Lyla, no talents - all she has is a disability that makes her 'special' even though if she'd only given Bew a chance instead of sticking in some ridiculous unhappy relationship with Mac, she would have found out that Mac wasn't the only one who didn't resent her for faking but Bew was like that too.

But despite the majority of the characters being irredeemable, somehow there was a time in their arcs where you did not only feel empathy for them but even sad.

Regardless it's a good horror show with lots of awesome gore and a entertaining storyline with some good direction and eye candy!

xx --- So spoilers ahead --- xx
I honestly thought it was pretty entertaining and I loved Boom she was a class act till the end :') I really was shipping her with Tor but he literally became so much of a jerk I was getting pissed and there was no underdog theme with his character because the true underdogs were Bern, Boom, and Stud. And none of their endings felt right to me. I was really hoping Boom would end up with Bern, they were both so supportive and understanding and just generally kind at the core.

As for Stud, another SLS disappointment lol but at least this one I was ready for. Because I knew the spoilers ahead about the love triangle. I mean they couldn't even give him a proper loving kiss with AJ!!! Ffs.

The thing is this show has some good writing if not great, but where it failed for me was the repetitive nature of scenes. Basically the entire second half was Sam saying "nothing I'm doing is good enough for you " and Earth giving some variation of "I hate you for what you did" seriously it got tedious after a while. And tbh despite Stud being 'slutty' there were truly MAYBE two proper HOT SCENES and one of them was Stud and Doc ! And yes why was Arm's character even THERE. he's GORGEOUS , CAN ACT - so why did you not make him part of the story when there was literally no content in the second half.


Another thing that majorly pissed me off was Stud, Bern being called losers because they didn't have a job such typical capitalist propaganda it was just wrong. And Stud man another total fail like Art's arc in WTD. Bunch of racy scenes and after that confession omg I cried for him lol but just a total mess of sl like Rambo. Just literally they could have talked about why he was so impulsive, a mental health issue or even if it is just typical fuckboi behavior give it some nuance.

I didnt even mind Joss was such a text book fuckboi cause he wasn't part of the story, he was just there for Boyo to grow. And Oh and btw Lee and the girl lol I just couldn't get into them as a couple. Literally ended on a HANDSHAKE and felt forced. He was clearly in love with the Joss of chicks lol and when she turned out to be married he finally goes to Boyo. How is that love? And dont even getme started on Boyo lol the woman was an entitled bitch who called her friends sluttyy, shamed them, and even when she'd supposedly grown because she had a career I just couldn't believe she had any real feelings for Good.

As for the happy ending for Sam Earth - tbh I feel cheated. It just feels like an easy way out. And again characterization was lacking here as well, so we never quite understand why Sam is so attached to him. Maybe just staring into eyes isn't enough, and most of their script composed of the same rehashed 'i love youso much, u love you too. The only nuance there was like i said it was either in the Earth Stud relationship or Sam Stud . I know it sounds strange but that kissing scene in the bathroom bw Sam Stud was just SO GOOD!

And when Stud confessed to AJ and even stopped himself from screwing him, he goes 'I ruined the life of the person i love the most.' Like ffs. That's really something. Before till that point it felt like Stud was into Sam. That he wanted to be in Earths place but from the beginning he was trying to come to termswith the fact that he Earth is no longer available. Arm was right all along and probably he realized at some point too that Stud willalways love Earth so he doesn't get close to Stud either.

Anyway so I did enjoy it and going to watch season 2 pretty much just out of curiosity XD hopefully they'll do better

I'm wavering between 6 and 7 for this one but ill just stick to 7. Because while I enjoyed it its no good for a rewatch for me. Mainly because there was something about the fl that I had to really push myself to keep going. But what I loved was their cute and bickering romance and lets face it Mik looks sexy. The second couple was good too i enjoyed their story and that one death really made me sad. So, yes it has its moments for sure but just a one watch thing for me. Also generally I just wasn't too keen on the idea of falling for your ex s lookalike. Like it just doesn't feel like true love, just my opinion. So, its not bad and pretty enjoyable.

After being bored for five eps finally things got interesting in ep 6 and the finale was actually pretty good. My problem is that this should have been a dark sexy romantic suspense but is just average in every way and got boring for me for the most part so even though the actors were convincing, I felt SO BORED. The prime reason for that being you watch slap and kiss or romantic suspense to watch the couple's interaction, not their separate interaction with the five year old whose voice was terribly dubbed by a female lol or Jun kai s interaction with his sister! I mean this was 15 mins eps they shouldn't have added all that boring ass crap. So, in the end it didn't really do anything for me.

I wanted to review because this show gets so much hate. Personally I found it full of tropey bromance goodness XD its entertaining, doesn't take itself too seriously, and if i started hating dramas for tropes and OTP action I wouldn't watch most Asian drama lol because lets face it sometimes you need dramas that bring nothing but eye candy and tropey sugary overdoses XD and again tge bromance - the whole secretly loves you but fights with you on the surface - was done rather welll. I mean that first scene at the beach its a damn kiss okay lol last time that happened in China was with the ADDICTED couple. So , theres so much hotness lol

Calling an abused child with severe PTSD 'a spoiled brat' and an actual self serving brat who sees s rich older father figure and just goes along when the man starts speaking ill of his son without knowing the facts and making her the supposed 'heroine' this one was such a huge disaster.

Buuut not going to lie the male leads freaking gorgeous and it did provide me all that good lakorn angst lol even though my angst came from a different place than other viewers who couldn't find anything wrong with the self righteous father and female lead.


Anyway, seriously the only person who genuinely cared for the male lead was the other girl who I knew was fated to lose because all the self serving self righteous people hated her too.


Again, comparing with the H in Hua Jai Sila, COME ON - like these two females have NOTHING in common! The HJS female lead was genuinely caring and wasn't at all a total bitch, didn't get all judgy and preachy. This one on the other was nothing more than a shallow bitch .

Anyway, not a total waste of time but it could've been so much better.

Honestly, this movie felt a bit lacking to me. It wasnt bad and there were truly some excellent moments like the girls dialog when she confronts him about him being embarrassed of her i was actually sad during that exchange. But overall the story takes a rather predictable approach to the Korean vengeance genre which is downright my fave. It doesnt even come close to similar movies like Oldboy, the chaser, i saw the devil when it comes to dialog and complex characters. And honestly for me all those lack of nuance wouldn't have been a problem if they'd given me a less lame, predictable and boring ending.

So, I think to fully enjoy these characters, you need to watch the spin offs especially the Chase one, if nothing else.

As for Drive and it's characters, here's what I think.

Drive had some fantastic characters and ideas especially the writing was strong and the antagonists were so well fleshed out when they become anti heroes or just victims of the main antagonists manipulative ways, everyone from Heart, to Brain, to Medic, I felt for them all. But while still a great show, I felt it lacking in some regions - first off Chase. Let's face it Chase was supposed to be the guy everyone was supposed to root for, through his interaction with Kamen Riders and the team sure, but the set up was for Gou right? So, their relationship shouldn't have felt so lacking.

What I mean is, we only see them interacting as Kamen Riders, and barely at all in actual life. I know that Gou was shown as being tsundere and supposed to be stoic but they could still have had actual meaningful conversations like they did those two or three times. Because of this their bromance felt incomplete. When the relationship between Heart and Brain, Heart and Shin Heart Chase was done so well. Even Shin and Gou was better than Gou and Chase. And the thing is its not like there was a lot going on plot wise in the beginning and Chase was introduced pretty early anyway.

The other minor gripe is the beginning part not being as interesting as the second part. Basically this was the time they could have used to develop Chase and Gou and both these problems could have been solved easily.
And okay I love Ryoma he's really done a good job but characters wise I just LOVE Heart Chase, and Gou!!!

But the thing about Drive and the reason I'm rating it high, despite those issues is because much like Build and W, Drive characters are the type that wont leave you alone. You keep wanting to go back. So this one and the spin offs have great re watch value for me.

Aahhh I knew when I was sooooooo happy they were going to make me cry! lol but that's Kamen Rider for you.

It's a W Accel cross over too well more like a cameo. Never thought I'd hear the words 'Roimude Dopant' lol

In this story you'll see Chase struggling with his 'mannequin' look and watch Brain pining relentlessly for Heart, so usual Brain lol but waaay more hilarious XD

This is basically the story of how Chase became a real boy :') and seriously Krim was so mean to say that stuff to him! But yes, expect a lot of happiness, a lot of heartbreak and it's all done so perfectly I have no problems at all, it's just that good.

- MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD -

Because I'm obsessed with Suda Masaki in case you didn't already know I have seen W more times than I'm comfortable saying aloud lol and okay the thing about Kamen Rider is no matter how cynical you may be you will cry like a baby several times during any season. And for seasons like Amazon, W and Build its even worse. So honestly this season just has that nostalgia factor for me. But while Amazon is super dark, and Build is emotional and angsty, W is way more light hearted and then gets dark toward the end. But like I said throughout the season even plenty of dark stuff and messed up stuff is going on from Phillip's family being the worst family on the planet lol no exaggeration... the father made his own son and daughters part of weird experiments, had his son in law put through hell, and to top it all off, used his DEAD SON TO FURTHER HIS CRAZY CAUSE. And the mother is no different! She manipulated Accel into being powerful enough so he could be W with Philip FOR NO GODDAMN REASON and then manipulated HER OWN SON to go against Shotaro, once again FOR NO GODDAMN REASON lol So as families go, the Sonozakis do crazy like no other. So naturally because Shotaro loves Philip, it's painful to watch him struggling with self-doubt because first the son-in-law (who eventually became a good person but they killed him anyhow and it pissed me off but whatever), then Philip's sister, then his father, then the goddamed mother tries to break them up ffs talk about Family in law from HELL lol but bro have you seeeen Phillip lol he looks like an androgynous fairy how can you not fall for him hard. Ahhh okay enough rambling XD but yes I loveeee these two!
