It starts off with a girl that has a traumatic past that goes through something mentally and it sucks because she doesn't know what she needs to do or how to help it in any way. You have a business man that really just minds his own, has a funny assistant, has a strained relationship with his brother and all in all, this show is like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim but like...not as dramatic honestly. Lol. The two cross each other because of fate really and the rest is kind of history. The perks of this show is the female lead is sweet and adorable, hard working and understanding. The male lead tries to be aggressive and mean but he's really sweet, has a soft spot for the FL and even when he's trying to be tough, he cares for her and I love that for them. LMAO. At first things are a little put off because of misunderstanding and your average bickering but the chemistry they had and evolved into was wonderful and the kisses were...*chefs kiss*; also the side stories, not even bad. I also LOVE that the girl that had a crush on the ML didn't come and try to be a home wrecker lol love when it's not toxic.
The acting was great! I personally have never seen the main leads in any shows but they did fantastic and I like that they clicked together. I liked the brother a lot more in Girlfriend because he wasn't a jerk but he played a good actor because you couldn't tell who he was actually helping. I also liked the best friend, she was great in Go Go Squid, great in this show too. So all in all, I liked everyone and everything.
The music was sooo nice. Like so nice. I really liked that they timed the instrumentals perfectly; it's a rare occurrence for that.
You know what? I rarely rewatch shows, but I think I just might. They were honestly so sweet together, had great kisses, were not toxic at all and they really were just trying to do what they need to do for each other and I dig that. So overall, a great show. A fluffy kind of show with a cliche storyline but you know what I say, old but gold in my book.

The acting was great, the ML was good at what he does, his emotions, his acting, the way he freely talked, this was meant for him. The female lead was clueless, but sweet, innocent and naive but she does it great, you know what I mean? They clicked, the chemistry was there, the kisses were amazing, the whole relationship really just made the show for me. I loved them, I loved these two together. As far as everyone else and the rest of the story? Didn't care for them, at all. I liked the best friend, the little sister, but everyone else can KICK ROCKS.
The music was fantastic, worth listening too and really fitting.
Overall, I just can't put myself through to watching this drama again, I'll probably rewatch any scene our main leads are in and their romance factors and watch every kiss or just cute scene with them but the WHOLE show? Miss me with that tbh. I felt like I was watching some kiss and slap Thai drama, I was like "WHAT KIND OF THAIANESE DRAMA AM I WATCHING???" Overall, I'm glad I watched it. I'm happy to push through because it was so romantic in those aspects and they made me click with them. It started slow, got draggy and those are downfalls. But the COUPLE WAS AMAZING. SO 10/10 FOR THEM, 8/10 for every other POS that made me mad in this show.

Wow, is all I can say.
Thriller/Mystery drama's are not something I watch often, but when I do, it takes a lot for me to commit and do it and when I do; I hope that it's worth it. It's been a while since I've watched a mind blowing K-Drama to be honest and I can say that I didn't know what I was getting into when I started Flower of Evil, but I saw a clip and immediately I was sucked in to something I will never regret watching in my entire life.The synopsis in itself is already a rollercoaster, even though this is similar to a lot of other mystery/thriller/crime dramas; you don't really know you'll be invested into something even more mind blowing and emotionally tolling. You have a man that's the perfect husband, father, worker. You have a woman that's the perfect wife, mother and partner in general. They are both hard working, they met randomly by fate one day and the rest is history, their love is absolutely mind blowing and just plain...impeccable. But the male lead has a past, an unknown one. And unfortunately sometimes, you can't run away forever, especially when your demons are not only haunting you mentally, but then they start doing so physically. So you're going to go through what it's like to love someone but want to protect them no matter what happens, you're going to see that some people will go to the end to protect their own even though it's putting themselves on the line, you're going to see what it's like to be abandon by those who love you most and what it's like to be looked at like a monster. There' s so many ups and downs in this show but it's one of the best journey's I've completely been on. The love they had was wonderful, the characters that helped, the officer team, everything was just a nice flow of things.
Let me tell you, this is one of the best acting I've seen in such a long time. I love the raw emotions you got to witness between every single character; but you're taking so many veteran actors and actresses and putting them into something that they made just pure genius. The emotion and control that Lee Jong Gi has is amazing, the strong, bold character that Moon Chae Won played and the CHEMISTRY the two had, is absolutely everything. There was a prefect balance of their love and the show. The daughter was a fantastic aspect. The bad characters were so good at being bad. The reporter was a nice spice; the sister being added into the twist. The way the detective team carried themselves; if this show doesn't win rewards for the story, the ACTING will for sure win something.
The music was wonderful, I loved the timing that they had. I'm obsessed with the OST that Shin Yong Jae put together for this; everything about it is beautiful, raw and emotional all in one and that's how this show will leave you feeling.
Overall, this show was amazing. It's worth watching and rewatching within seconds. I actually binged this show and woke up just to rewatch the last 2 episodes because I couldn't get enough. The ending was quite bittersweet but I felt the craziest thing while watching it and I've never watched a show where I was so satisfied with the 2nd to last episode that I couldn't stopped there. I was literally so satisfied how this show played out and where it went that I'm absolutely mind blown at this beautiful master piece. My heart ached with the emotions of the characters, I cried and was angry all in one. And that's what a good drama is. One that you cannot stop thinking of and that was this for me. This really made me realize how much I love watching Asian Dramas in general. This was so good.

I would just like to let you guys know that I decided to watch this again randomly in the middle of the night and I cried just as hard as I did the first time and it was still, so good. LMAO.
For something that was 2 episodes long and was honestly as long as a movie; it really hit me in the feels in all aspects. It's multiple stories into one if you're into that, which to me, I usually hate because I like when there is one focus but in reality, it was all very fitting and I absolutely adored this show in every way.
-It starts with a girl that's grown, she's just trying to live her life but also satisfy her mom and her life because that's the only person/family she has and sometimes you would ruin your own life for the people you love. She ends up getting hurt and things really unravel and man. It's crazy.
-It follows a girl that is just trying to live her dream but she gets did dirty and gets it pinned on her as if she was the problem.
-Two little kids that are so sweet and cute together but no matter what age you are, you'll always go through trials and tribulations because really, that's just how life works.
The acting was extremely spot on, I want to give a huge shout out to my girl Seo Hyun because I'm a huge girls generation fan in general but her acting was AMAZING. The amount of emotion she showed and expressed and her acting was just very fitting. I loved the kids, very mature and professional. I loved the mom. I loved the musician, she was honestly a bad betch. Loved it.
Music was AMAZING. I'll have to go out and download it because it was so soothing to the ears.
Would I rewatch it? Hell yeah. Especially if I need a good cry. I didn't think it was going to hit me like that so honestly, it was all good. Oh but it's not about Dracula so sorry you vampire lovers. Lol. It's used more as a metaphor.
Overall, this show must've been really good to me because it just really hit home. Being someone that's Asian and LGBT is hard in general, but when you're growing and you want to involve your parents/family in your life, things are even more difficult because you try to have a standard for them but you're also trying not to lose yourself in the process. So that section of it just really pulled me in and hit my heartstrings. The rest of the story was the same, you have a young love and you have mistreatment with another character. All of it is very fitting because it hits you with like a throwback of when you had your first heartbreak/loss. For something so short, it really just had all around crazy emotions for me. The scenes were beautiful. The acting was awesome. The story was great. I suggest if you have 2 hours to spare when you're bored and need something to watch, to watch it.

ENGLOT FOREVER
Honestly, this show is so cheesy, I JUST LOVE IT.For those of you that don't follow Miss Grand, that is absolutely okay! You have 2 girls that have great chemistry in every which way, it outlines the life of being a beauty queen and it shows the life of being not just that but a regular everyday person. It shows friendship, love, heartbreak and challenges all in one. I love the back stories, I love everyone together, I love everything about this tbh.
Engfa and Charlotte are doing amazing, they are naturally easy going and have wonderful chemistry in general so for the show to portray that for them, I love everything about that. The other girls as well, they're amazing friends in real life so just all of them together is a wild ride.
I'm a fan of the music lmao plus Engfa has a wonderful voice!
Because it's so quick and easy, it's worth rewatching. I go back and rewatch episodes often in general so I'm down for it.
Overall, I'm both glad and thankful that Miss Grand did this for these girls, I love the opportunities they give them and continue to help them grow as individuals so that's really what makes this worth it.

I loved the ML and FL, they were cute, it was fluffy, their chemistry was just fantastic right off the bat and they really clicked. I love the co-workers, I love the friends, I love the families and even the exes aren't even too bad, annoying, but not bad at all.
The music is great!!!
Overall, I think I would rewatch this show. Lol. The two main leads make the show, they're cute, they match, it's fluffy, they're honestly really sweet and even in the moments that they tried to make mellow and dramatic, they really just worked out and worked well together. I loved all the characters and what they played, I loved the ups and downs. This show is honestly just so very cute. So 10/10 for me, if you need a filler show when you have nothing better to do and you really just want some romance in your life, this is where it is at.

The story was about a girl that has been secretly in love with a boy that's like boy wonder to her. He's smart, handsome, the whole package and she's smart, quiet and pretty and they are just a good combo. She's really strong, not ditzy in anyway, she holds her own and I love that about her, WE LOVE A STRONG FEMALE LEAD. Lol. But this is the nostalgic part for me that I can relate to so much that I instantly could not help myself from tearing up a little bit is that feeling of having your first crush/first love that has no idea who you are. Like I think everyone has had that ONCE in their life where this person has no idea you even exist but you admire them from so far because they're the next best thing to sliced bread, I kid you not dudeee. That feeling just hit me, made me laugh, cry and reminiscence on that time where I was just young, dumb and carefree. Like "what is love?" ya know what I mean, but that's what I love about this show because it takes the chances of being a nobody, to a somebody, going through ups and downs like your average relationship and just...living. Man, what a feeling. Lol.
I loved the acting. I definitely get what everyone is saying though because the ML played, I wouldn't say a jerk but he was naive and young. Lol. He was a clueless boy that really was just a boy in my opinion and what I mean from that is he doesn't think of this love and just doesn't think too deep. He's smart and living his life and just living brightly. I LOVE THE FEMALE LEAD. SHE PLAYED SO WELL AT THIS CHARACTER. NOT A PANSY BUT NOT TOO BAD, SHE WAS SO FITTINGGGGG. I also liked the friends, I hated the secondary characters, the acting was just fitting for this kind of storyline.
The music is cool, I didn't mind it.
When I'm feeling blue and down or I just need a stretch, I think this is definitely a rewatch. I think this is honestly just an extremely good show. I dig it. 10/10. For sure.

Overall, the whole plot and story of this show was done wonderfully. You have a failing marriage and two people that loved each other dearly but when you're so used to someone or you adapt to situations, you really don't realize how much that person or moment meant to you and sometimes you really just let people down. I really felt for the main female lead because she fell into this loop of just average daily life while her husband was also trying to do his best but they slipped away and it was just an emotional whirlwind. The whole thing was a fabulous road to scale from going back into the past from the beginning and ending flashbacks, to what happened with her family and it was just all so emotional for me that I was literally crying every time there was tears, honestly. I could not help myself because I felt everything in that moment too.
Jang Nara happens to be one of my top favorite actresses, definitely like top 5 for me and she really didn't let me down, I actually absolutely loved every single character in this show with the parts that they played and it made it even more enjoyable especially with all the drama and feels.
Even the OST was wonderful, it was really fitting, even in moments when they were having fun.
I would definitely rewatch this if I need someone for my feels or when I really just want to watch a really great drama down the road and so I definitely recommend this show to anyone wanting to watch it and has been hesitant.
