Love at first F***

He f*** a ghost and he liked it...

This is the very short story of the selfish guy who wanted to own another guys body and the sweet kind guy whos body the selfish guy wanted to own + the very fine ghost who was caught between them.

Mr Selfish most probably lonely, two faced hottie acted all kind and all but is actually dark and evil deep inside as he puts a curse on the man he wants to own... And well he does that part really well he does seem sweet, we do get the feeling that mr sweetheart really trusts him and likes him as a friend and he does not come off as evil in anyway. He uses this position to curse him, however the details of the curse are kind of foggy and not very well executed so adding 10 minutes or so to clarify the curse part would have been good.

It is however clear that the curse backfired as it seems to have become love at first f*** for the ghost and everybody's sweetheart instead of whatever mr evil was aiming for... As there is little dialog between mr. ghost and mr. sweetheart most of their screen-time together is very naked and very sexual...

I am not going to say that this short film is tastefully made, good or the type to bring out the thirst in you. It is more of the funny type of sexual content and pretty entertaining at times as well as slightly odd, dark (literately) and different than what I have seen before.

Definitely an indecent watch...

12 varied cups of coffee

This drama is one of Dramalands mot fitting names. Each episode is just like a cup of coffee for the coffee lover, but I am sure you can convert it to tea if coffee as a whole is not your thing. Most cups are just perfect and a must that will wake you up or give you a nice moment but the first cup of the day is the best and once you have had 2 or three you feel like it´s enough for the day. You still want to drink coffee later on or the next day. And so is the show, It will leave you satisfied but not wanting more right away.

Again much like different people like different types of coffee not all of the episodes where my type of coffee, while some had the perfect balance to suit my taste. Others did not.

Character wise there are a few slightly annoying guest characters but overall the cast is well fitted. The relationships shown are varied and almost as sweet as the confectenaris made in the bakery down the street.

The use of umbrellas is subtle but well made, guesting some pretty impressive and unusual uses for umbrellas (in a drama, I do not know about seul) and with great symbolism enhancing some of the dramas most beautiful scenes.

I highly recommend people to watch this, one episode a day or so, that way it will last longer and you will be able to enjoy each cup to the fullest.

Funny, fluffy, with some serious drama too...

This is such a sweet hidden gem, with drama, fluff, more drama and more fluff... Oh and some humour too.

Though the main theme is a little bit out there, taking body swap just one step longer having two people in both bodies at once. Making way for som fun, fluffy, (yes I said fluffy again), and awkward situations with a focus on time zones instead of the oh so popular over used gender. giving us a lovely bickering couple who can bicker a lot without actually meeting each other... Watching these two use all kinds of self harm to fight each other is funnier than I thought it would be, and though there may be some slight second hand embarrassment that would otherwise bother me, it could be my mood, but it did not bother me at all.

Both leads are lovable, and there are no purely annoying characters as each supporting cast seems to do their role well, all are well casted, some I would say extremely well casted (Patrick Shih) and the movie is well written with good pacing keeping me curious and interested from start to finish.

I am willing to admit that some parts of the plot are a tad predictable, however they do have their own touch as well as great visuals and again fluff, fluffily, fluff... Ok there is also a guy in a coms, loneliness, a guy who crosses the line here and there, people being treated badly, lack of privacy and death... but it is well imbedded in fluffy cover of white snow... Making you forget all that stuff and only remembering the fluff... Just kidding... the pain and struggles are very much real and are well balanced by the fluff, how well is up to you to find out if you watch this movie.

If I should complain about one thing it is the idea of you must love yourself to be loved that is repeatedly mentioned here.... I say a person who truly cares will love you no matter how much you hate yourself... So forget pressure about having to love yourself or find yourself to be loved, that you can do regardless... So just take the love stuff out of the equation.

Definitely a movie I recommend, and it is even available with subs free and legally on you tube!

Why woman love? Could be because apparantly they are incomplete without a man?

This drama seems to be some kind of tutorial towards how to win the heart of a woman, could also be the heart of a man... But after watching 24 episodes I can not tell you why women love... If you figure it out please do feel free to tell me, but apparently women who get married choose to give their all to the man they marry and that is also apparently worth waiting for... A strange message in a drama that seems to try to empower women... But besides that the most important thing seems to be sincerity wether it is love, friendship or work... Be sincere and love will prevail... or something like that.


@ Things I like about this drama:


-The friendships, most of the characters are lovable and even if there are a few characters that seem to need help, there are no really truly annoying characters.

-The humour, there is not a lot of it, but this does have some pretty gunny scenes here and there with good fun bickering humour.

-The Male lead is a sweetheart, fine he is a bit of a spoiled brat in the beginning but he is a sweet spoiled brat, not afraid to show affection, take charge... go on the thing line between persistence and stalking... ok maybe he is not that perfect but he is mostly nice, patient and understanding... and does not force himself on the girl even once.

-The female lead is kind of bland but does have her moments, the combination of the two is pretty good and the best part about her is that even if she is supposed to be stupid in love she is actually pretty smart... Shocking for a C-drama I know!

-The OST is pretty good (maybe a bit overused, for those who binge, but pretty decent)


@Things that bothered me:


-The Second Female lead... How her delusional, clingy... behaviour was not only accepted but enabled by the people around her.

-The 9999999 PUBLIC love confessions with flowers, balloons and what not... For a drama promoting sincerity... there are ways to show sincerity without involving pollen and peer pressure.

-The endless love monologs... We got it you love her, you love him...

- Endless flashbacks the dram would be several hours shorter if they just cut the flashbacks in half.

-Inconsistency... one moment the guy knows the girl is allergic to flowers the next he buys her a huge flower bukeet ...

-Extremely heteronormative Family, Couples propaganda ish... Fine a woman can take charge but she does seem to need a man to be complete, and She is allowed to be a career woman but again, she needs a man... Did I mention that no woman is complete without a man?


So to sum it up, it was okay, nothing really new and the few parts that had potential to be revolutionary fell short... But I have seen a lot worse and it is pretty funny, and do not forget all the good stuff I mentioned above so it is definitely an okay watch.

Bingeabilaty: Ok but not high

Hook ups, throw ups, fuck ups, hiccups...

Only friends does not really have much of a story at least not the first few episodes as there will be people touching each others genitals in pretty much every single scene making me wonder 1. did they use protection and 2. how durable are the skin and muscles of youth down below...

Pretty much every single one of the men in this is despicable at one point or another with the exception of the bartender who just had to little screen time to be so...

Only friends can apparently do a whole lot of shit making me wonder if these people really are friends forget the only, I would settle for acquaintances at some point, s this is probably the loneliest bunch of friends I have seen in all of Dramalad.

The main characters;
Sand- Smile to die for is shown to be this kind of saint but deep down we kind of know this guy is disloyal and can easiely throw his friend under a buss... He is however a good influence on some and has the best t-shirts.

Ray- Boy is crying for help so loudly... he does give up some psychopath vibes and I keep on going between wanna hug the guy and wanting to put him behind bars...

Top- Man is good looking, the ultimate bad boy you want to tame and make go good... but for the life of me I do not get what he sees in Mew... badboy desrservs better

Mew- I really do not get the guy, selfish annoying, fake... Psychopath... yes he has a nice smile but that is where the guys character ends. Why can't this actor get better parts?

Boston- Dude is crying for help... I hate him I love him I hate him again... I have had issues with Neos acting but honestly this time he nailed his character and did a great job.

Nick- One pretty huge mistake but after that I think Mark finally made my crush-list the most charming of the bunch...

Bowing- I have no words... dude needs to get some help...

Actually the whole bunch could use some help....

That said it was an entertaining watch, it completely lacked substance (unless you count saliva as substance), but it was indeed entertaining and filled a whole yers quota of watching people hook up!

A good sequel, left me wanting even more

The first season had a beautiful cover this season has a beautiful intro (the cover is ok too) that I actually watched for some reason, which I otherwise avoid. , It is also really good depiction of how frustrating it can be to be in love with a person with extremely low self esteem plus a bunch of other stuff...

This was yet again way way to short and less entertaining than the first season as our former jerk is no longer a jerk but more frustrating in an interesting kind of way... While the first season had this fun opposites attract, oddly entertaining openly jerk and creepy obsessed misfit to lover type deal... Surrounded by 1000 misunderstandings. In this season we get to listen to the boys inner thoughts, frustrations and miscommunication that leads to frustration type of deal.

The self awareness of the past has become more of a aware meets oblivious guy. Mr aware former jerk still has his issues with himself but has come a long way since the first season and tries to figure out how to approach mr oblivious low self esteem and get him to understand that he is not in a one sided love.... One would have thought living together, sleeping in the same bed and so on would have been enough for the guy to get a hint... but nee not this guy.

And well while mr oblivious (and others like him) may think they are being considerate towards their partners not wanting to overstep or take to much space. This type of behaviour is actually called out as hurtful in the most beautiful way. But it also had me thinking about dynamics, power and the less talked about pros of being submissive and happy to worship someone else, as well as the burden of being worshiped... Showing us some nuance instead of a pink and blue world..

I really love the character development that Mr Jerk of the past had towards becoming this open and aware guy, trying to change, trying to be honest about his feelings while still staying cool and a bit mysterious. He had some really good lines and was just a pleasure to watch. And while season one made me want to protect mr oblivious season 2 made me want to protect mr aware instead, and yes I love that about this show that it can make both the viewers and characters develop and see things from different angles in so little time. It is actually pretty impressive.

There are pretty pictures, a lovely moon and of course the yes the yellow rubber duck is indeed back too.

All in all a good sequel, that was way to short and shows a rare story that needed to be told.

P.S. I am sorry if non of this makes any sense it is Friday afternoon and I have had a long week...

Short, simple and Sweet

This is such a cute little web series... easy to watch easy to binge easy to go oooh... and easy to follow... to be honest it does not have a lot of substance but it is still entertaining and will probably have you captivated from the first episode as this little semantic error shows opposites attract, enemies to lovers done simple and right.

The main leads are simple yet kind of complex. Mr colourful a bubbly, playful design major meets Mr binary code a very by the book, same ratine, same types of clothes, same cap...

And this collision of characters is just beautiful, giving us bickering, colourful interactions, and a whole lot of character development in 8 very short episodes.

The acting may not be perfect (it is a web drama after all), but it is still fun to watch and every emotion (lack of emotion) come across perfectly. The cinematography is pretty good with lots of pretty colors. And there are no annoying side characters.

This is far from a masterpiece and probably does not deserve the 9 stars for being particularly good but time flies as you watch it, it leaves you wanting more and with very few complaints thus the high score...

There are also some interesting details in this consent wise, but they may be considered spoilers so I will just mention that it is interesting and not perfect...

All in all if you like sweet and simple this may just hit the spot, if you are looking for complicated high quality plot look somewhere else.

A lot of secrets, a lot of love... an lot of cringe...

This is a drama that made me wonder, is this a parody or are they for real?

The acting ranges between really bed (intentionally?) and mediocre. The dialog is cringe, cringe and well more cringe... and the music is catchy, there is a lot of kissing but most of the kisses have less chemistry than a 1st grade math class and are puppy meets dead fish. So this is basically a pretty awful low quality drama in every way possible... other than some abs and gorgeous smiles... here and there... yet I found this oddly addictive and entertaining...

There is just so much stupidity in this but it is not the annoying type of stupid so it kind of works. The PPL and K-drama references are present in every single episode making me wonder if this is a BL gone K-drama gone bad... Hate to Love possessive male lead changes when he meets organised mature male lead...

With jealousy, shippers and fall on your lips kisses... Not a healthy relationship in sight, and a whole lot of odd pacing... So I would say this is so bad it is mediocre but entertaining, worth a watch if you are in need to just let your brain go and just watch the cringe as it unfolds in front of you...

Interpretive sensual dance?

This 5 minute spin off was more of an artistic interpretive dance... A slightly insane dance that seems to show Noahs way of understanding the word, whereas the series focuses on Wu Zheng perspective.

Here we see people in masks, wether looking a bit like a combo of the playboy bunny with BDSM in an ever spinning world where fear lives and the color of the light changes. Extremely artistic and wild as apposed to series which is very calm and low key everything.

comparing the two makes this series seem a lot deeper, better ads a whole other dimension making me re-evaluate some of the parts from the series if this makes any sense in any way, so if you watch Innocence make sure not to mis the (not that) innocent.

Also I love the title for this part...

Same same but different over and over again with a dash of sweetness...

The wheels on the bus go round and round, bomb on the bus goes boom, boom, booom... And the people on the bus they die, come back, die, come back....

This drama was mostly interesting and fun to watch keeping me on my toes from start to finish and making me completely fall in love with the leads.

This drama did a pretty decent job combining suspense with slice of life and the whole person behind the deed... The drama shows some of the troubles facing mostly women in today's society , fear, double standards as well as shows us that you never can tell how a person is just by looking at them. But what I liked most was the concept of trial and error... doing, failing, adjusting, doing again... over and over again without becoming boring.

this drama made my heart flutter, laugh and brought out some of my inner anger, it also got me annoyed at a few characters in a ohhh what an annoying kind of way and not that emotional anger I otherwise appreciate, thus bringing down the score. Other things that brought down the score where things like a magic pill that instantly fix a persons heart and some people's reactions that seem a bit off and out of proportion... Still the issues this drama seems to want to convey do make their way (some overly obvious) thru the scene.


But other than that the chemistry between the leads is great and both are highly lovable so I would like to see more of them, there are sweet pets and the PPL is not too overwhelming ether. There are also a bunch of pretty explosions...

In short a pretty decent watch!

So much potential just ruined

What do you get when you take a great story, great cast. some great lines and dump a bunch of slow mo never ending monologue with violins, piano, cringe and misinformation... 5 stars and some bored viewers.

This drama has so much potential, really the cast is great, it has the looks, the chemistry, the diversity (ish), no one overly annoying and most of all no one lacks talent. The story has everything I love in a drama, it had my head spinning the first few episodes with suspense making my head spin of all the theories, it tackles some of my absolute favorite issues, including child abuse, domestic violence, mental illness, suicide etc. It has some amazing friendships and relationships and even shows a person who lives with a recycled heart as a competent human being! Topped off with sweet, sweet romance, fluff and amazing side couples. This could easily have become a 10.

But then, it was just dragged out, and just turned in to a mess making me bored instead of spinning my head by the time we got to know the truth, I honestly could not have cared less.

At some point the main characters get to have conversations with their inner child, I am sorry but all respect to inner kids watching it on screen just makes me want to barf. And the monologs just never end... They try to be healing and non judgmental but end up just bad, cringey and boring. I think they try to tell us that the smallest things can make a difference but it just becomes to much... Again sad because some parts are actually good and worth hearing, just that it gets drowned out by the moralisation, and never ending slow motion talk (okay it was not sloe mo but it felt like it) and I do not have double speed when I watch Netflix on my lap top so I endured it... But If you do not mind this stuff, go on watch it because it is pretty good between the boring parts, and hey it also has some sweet animals in it.

Now to the misinformation about heart transplants, as a person living with a recycled heart this bugs the hell out of me, why you may ask well, I will not spoil this so Ill just say it is used in a very dehumanising way for the plot from several angels but also misinformation is bad for those who may need a heart and those who live with a recycled heart because it effects how we are perceived and can scare the s*** out of us and people around us.

While watching I wrote this:

Ok so as a heart transplantee I just have to say a few words, people who receive hearts have no time limit, we may have had before but not any more. As long as we go for regular check ups and take our meds we should be fine. We may need a kidney or liver later on but I think it is pretty rare, and my liver and kidneys are in great shape (I check them every year)!

We are not restricted from exercise at all, it may take a while for the heart rate to go up but other than that we (I) should probably exercise more.

We are more susceptible to infections (our meds lower our immunsystem), and skin cancer, some of us get anxiety, survivor's guilt and more often than not try to compensate for the loss of time due to previous illness by overworking and getting stress induced exhaustion...

But can otherwise live perfectly boring lives, do whatever we would have done without the experience of recycling hearts...

So now you get a lesson about recycling hearts, this of course goes for those with access to good health service, I also assume restrictions can very from place to place but for those wondering I take lots of meds, have a bunch of big scares (his is never visible) and need to avoid soft ice cream and milkshakes from a machine, unpasteurised dairy, raw fish or meat, grape fruit, ice from a machine, always wash vegetables well and cut off the ends of tomatoes, avoid raw juice if it is not freshly made and need to avoid ibuprofen . I am allowed to drink alcohol in moderation unlike him, and I think that is it...

So if you do chose to watch this you may want to bare this in mind...

Dark

This is definitely not what one would call a romance, as it is a dark investigation in to a woman's past and present it a not so tender light... Surrounded by slander, murder, psychological harm and more slander. Either one of these would be awful but put all in to one drama and most of what you see is pain and obsession.

While there are a few moments of tender light, as well as extremely sensual light, most of this drama is dark and sad. The type that makes you wonder how much more can a person take, how mean can people be?

The female lead is a mazing bot in character and acting. The male leads character was well performed but not as amazing as the female lead and the other male leads character was so well written, a combination. of adding fuel to the fire while simultaneously drinking away ones regret...

The cinematography was stunning,, my only complaint is that they dragged it out a bit to much, and added unnecessary twists as well as just a few too many recaps to male me up the score.

If they had just cut out out some parts in the middle and maybe added a scene or two to the en then I may just may have given it a 9 or 9,5,

Also there is very little, preaching, china propaganda, and ehat I would say more or less anti healing element instead of healing acknowledging that some parts of life are just dark, inexcusable and awful. And has several really good quotes from poetry and life...

A drama that will not restore your faith in humanity, but may restore your faith in C-dramas... If you ever loose it that is.

At the Moment I could use some more Moments of these...

I started this anthology, thinking I am not a huge fan of anthologies and thinking it should be okay if I just space it out so I watched the first episode felt this was ok... maybe a 7,5 or so nothing wow but an okay story with interesting characters that I could not fully relate to so I took a break and watched something else before I took on the next episode, an episode that started all weird but ended up pretty good and before I knew it I had completed episode 8 and felt a whole bunch of feelings...

Anger, disappointment, sorrow, pain, oooh how cute, and wait what was that... All interesting stories in one way or another, all had well developed characters and all kept me curious about how it would go... I guess wanting more but all I got was this moment... or maybe another couple of moments but most of those moments added to my will to learn more instead of satisfying my curiosity about the people in this show.

There are a few lessons that I am sure you will figure out, a bunch of balls flying in a really good way, some balls flying in an not so good way....

The match point of this show is however the so called real stories, they may be scripted, but all stories are of the kind that are taken from real life events, regular people, regular struggles, and a whole lot of love...

Hot n meeeh

This is a drama that takes you on a journey of insecurity and dives in to the minds of the two leads with kind of theatrical affects making it at times hard to distinguish between the inner and outer world...

The supporting characters in this do one hell of a job supporting the main story, and saying what the audiance is thinking. And the tension and physical scenes between the leads is hotter than pyrolysis... or I don't know a car left out in a dessert during a heatwave... But between those scenes I find myself feeling nothing... As if something is missing without knowing what is actually missing? It could be a loack of build up and interactions between the leads, or jumping from one relationship to another type of deal... or maybe it is the lack of communication... or all of the above plus something more.

That said the drama was indeed a J-drama a bit different than most things I have seen, an easy binge... Also the styling of the whole cast was lovely!

A filler drama you are bound to forget

The only thing I remember from season one was a teddy in a hoodie, the rest just did not really leave a mark. I wonder what or if I will remember this season.

If I do will it be for a pink shirt and a man being called a slut? or will it be for the cupid with a beautiful smile? Maybe Ill remember the dark rooftop and my own pondering about peoples perceptions of reality and mental health? Or maybe just maybe Ill remember the friendships and the smiles... Who were all lovely, but chances are that even though this had a better last episode than season one (I found it in my memory), chances are this one will be forgotten among al the other plots of dreamland.

So what can I say it was an okay watch but if I could baerly remember the first 4 episodes after a weeks break I doubt Ill remember the drama next month. But do are all dramas meant to be remembered?

So here is to filler dramas, and when in need of a filler, this is actually not a bad choice.
