A space we are in together
I recently rewatched IN THE SOOP and reminded me how healing this show is, and it's still my top show from them. And how healing BTS are, and that everything they can do makes you feel all happy and cheerful. If you want to cheer up or just laugh until your sides hur, watch IN THE SOOP. It's so comfortable and makes you smile.I will rewatch this show so many times, and whenever I need a lift up. Watching BTS be themselves, enjoying their free time, and spending time together is so wonderful to watch. You laugh how silly they behave, and just fall in love with them even more. It also shows how close they are, like a real family, and they look like real brothers. Just do yourself a favor and watch this show, or rewatch. You'll be happier for sure.

Teamwork makes the dream work
Great documentary movie and you get to know the real members behind the global worldstar BTS. This shows what their lives are, in music and in real life as well. I think this is a must for all Armies out there. The movie doesn't only show the joyful cheerful BTS we are used to see - but shows the very emotional and raw side of the Bangtan members. I think one of the reasons I really fell in love with the band is the special bond that BTS has together, the teamwork and connection, and that you can see that they are one family.I wish we could see more of the "realistic" documentaries and movies about BTS. It's not easy of course, and have the courage to show their weak and not so bright sides as well. We are all humans, idols especially, and we aren't always happy and bright, we all have bad days too. I think it's great that BigHit released this and wanted to show the real side of them to their fans. Big applause to BigHit.
Only bad thing about the movie is that I cried a lot, so bring your tissues when watching this movie.(Will be rewatching when my tears are dry)

Best kdrama you will watch!
I absolutely loved "It's okay not to be okay". Great, great message. Wonderful characters, amazing chemistry between the leads and well-written plot. The cinematography was amazing and really loved the animations as well. Moon Gang-Tae was perfect and very well written, and Sang-Tae really adorable and cute. The slow-burn romance between Seo Ye-ji and Gang-Tae was wonderful. Ps. The mental health issues were nicely done, wish more dramas did this!! 10/10*****************************************************************************************************************

One of best BL's out there
If you want to watch a beautiful BL with insane chemistry - watch Tale of Thousand Stars!The story is well made. It's slow paces but the leads make each episode better than the other. The characters are written beautifully, the breathtakkng scenery and love the side characters too! It's worth mentioning about Tian's character growth from being the spoiled rich kid to learning about himself is brilliant. This isnt only story about love but self growth, discovery about yourself and life.
At first I wasn't sure why this BL seemed so familiar but then after couple episodes it me: it reminds of Sotus the Series (maybe it's just me?), not from the plot but the insane off the roots chemistry the leads have just by staring at each other. Sotus was also focusing less on touching and the pure, unconditional love they had and they didn't need to kiss or touch to show it. I absolutely love that when BL's do it.
I've always been a fan of that Grumpy x Sunshine love trope, where the grumpy one slowly gets to open up.
Phu is one of my favorite characters. At first he's seen as strict, very stern, not smiling. Him and Tian keep bickering yet have this chemistry off the roots from first scenes together. Phu slowly opens up to Tian, you see him slowly losening up and being less stressed. He falls for Tian and I loved we see him only smile with him. Those small, yet powerful stares they share - they don’t need any kissing scenes or spicy ones cos the eyes and their body language tells it all! God, I love stories like this where they don’t need touching because their gazes simply tell how much in love they are. That moment leading up to the most anticipated kiss.. soo worth it!!
(Though, just my opinion: no kissing for two years? I know they wanted it to be this romantic kiss but that got me thinking lmao)
The reason I am not giving this series 10 (I really wanted to) was the unnecessary drama at the end. It didn't fit the shows focus and shifted it for me too much, some of the drama between Tian and Phu seemed OOC for being there only for the sake of drama. The gang drama would have been enough - but Phu working for his dad all along was too much. Some of it seemed to be made up at the spot to create so much drama, when there was barely none in the previous episodes. They could have just done that Tian chose to study in America and Phu to wait for him (the scene at the wedding.. angsty for the sake of angst).
Despite this, I really enjoyed this and think it's one of the best BL's made for a long time.

Two broken souls can heal each other
'Eclipse' is one of those BL's that warm up to you. It gets you, and becomes somehow a comfort show. Akk and Ayan are the total opposites , that attract each other. They are both broken souls that fell in love, and helped to heal each other. I'm not saying they completely healed, but they started that healing journey together. That is a beautiful message.As much as I loved both of their character developmens through the drama, I loved Akk's more. It was beautiful to see how much growth and inner acceptance he confronted. He had issues, like confroting himself about being gay, that he finally accepted. It was very nice touch, since it's not portrayed often. It's very difficult and hard to accept, and not easy for everyone. It felt more realistic, that he wa struggling - also the way Aya was patient and waited for him. He didn't force him into anything, which was simply amazing.
The side characters weren't as strong, and reason I am not giving the drama full 10. I did however enjoy Chadok's character and the plot twist, that made me like him. However, it was also weird and very disappointing for me how they dealed with Thua at the end. Neither of them didn't get punished, I get why Akk did not, but Thua ?! He literally destroyed school property and set that fire! Not to mention the stress and trauma his actions also caused for the protestors. For me he definitely should have been severely punished for what he did for the group of students!! And at the end all he did was a short apology, that didn't even feel sincere to me? So no, I didn't like how he got his happy ending with Kan and everyone was so okay with it, like he had just made some silly pranks.
Overall, I did enjoy Eclipse. It has a great story and message. I do wish it touched the homophobia topic more, there was potential for it to be more plotline. But it's a great drama.

Best BL drama's I've seen!
Sotus the series is the best BL dramas I've seen. Actually, this was my first ever BL that caught my eye. Even I first watched this years ago when it first aired, it's still lingers on my mind and keeps reminding me when I watch other dramas. I think there's just something about SOTUS that just stays with you. I didn't think I'd like a show like this much and get so emotionally attached to the characters because the way they are portrayed is so beautiful. I really fell in love with the story and characters. The stares and gazes between Arthit and Kongpob really tell everything and every emotion. The acting is superb, Singto and Krist do amazing with their acting skills - even with a cliche type plot. The ost in this drama is amazing and I kept on listening after every episode. Krist and Singto definitely carry the show on their shoulders but the secondary character's were nicely done even they could have gotten more development. I think the ending was very well done for BL and probably most satisfied as well, since you keep hoping them to get together haha. I'm a sucker for those romance cliche stuff, and even there wasn't much of skin or kissing - you don't need it. If the actors are superb, as they are, you don't need that stuff. Only their feelings, the small touches, the chemistry the longing and gazes are enough. Definitely worth a watch and even rewatch someday. Check out season too! I really liked how their relationship developed.Was this review helpful to you?
Hooked from the first minutes!
One of the best Kdramas I've seen. I got hooked from the very episode, from the first minutes to be honest - and finished the series in less than days. It has very well written plot, even with cliches, makes it worth while and the diverse modern touch to it. Nan-Do is one of the best layered characters I've seen, the painful past that was revealed in flashbacks, the way you grown into him, as well to Holo, and want to see both of them happy. And the plott wist you don't see coming, wrapping the end with the post way possible, making you cry tears or joy and sadness at the same time. I totally recommend watching. And I will totally be rewatching this series.Was this review helpful to you?
Woo to the Young to the Woo, Dong to the Gue to the Rami
One e of the best K-Dramas I've seen in a while. Acting is great from all cast as can be expected, but the lead character Park Eun-Bin is way beyond.She did an exceptionally good job and a lot of research to give amazing performance for person with autism. I loved the very done details and everything about it from the clothing to the CGI whales. Of course I absolutely adored her relationship with Lee Joon Ho, played by handsome Kang Tae Oh. He was absolutely wonderful, how he was patient with her and listened her every day talks about whales. Can't wait to see whats coming for them next.
Storys like these needs to be shown more often so people realize that autism does not define you or be unsuccessful. You can be anything and achieve great things despite this. A great message that the world needs. Can't wait for season two! Please come quickly.

Great historical period drama
I love historic period dramas, and I was pleasantly surprised with this drama - and time travelling was amazing add to it. Sure, the plot has its issues and plot holes, but once you ignore them, you can really enjoy this drama. I also really loved that the main woman Soo Jung wasn't a shy or clumsy girl, but a witty, confident and even rude! We don't really see that in many dramas, and it was a positive thing to see that made me wanna watch more.The characters are well written and fun, and even the annoying ones (I'm looking at you Go Il Yong) I found really likeable and grow fond of. And all the couples are so shipable and have great chemistry together, espeically Soo Jung and On Dal. Also the kisses between them were actually steamy and realistic than most Kdramas, another plus!
There were some plot holes, as I mentioned, but mostly I wish we knew more of Boong Boong (also one of my favorite characters, the car lol) - has it always been a time travelling car? Where did it get its powers, and why did it choose Soo Jung to travel her back in time, and travel her around? But well. I guess they wanted to leave that to a mystery.

Still Together, Still Great!
I absolutely loved the first season of 2gether and when I heard they made special episodes I was thrilled! I think these five episodes showed why I fell in love with the series and the characters. Tine and Sarawat were cute and adorable as always, and really loved the development in their relationship. It was great to see them apart, and the emotions that went through in both of them while being apart. Their scenes were sweet and cute, and I'm always weak for Wat's smile for Tine hahah.These episodes really made me grow to the side characters as well, that I didn't in the first series. I also think Green was a lot more likeable, a savage queen, in this! I wish we had gotten more of this Green in first season (I think I started to like him more the minute he stopped obsessing over Tine lol). I think Green and Dim were a fun couple to watch even I wasn't completely sure if they really belonged together. Man and Type were really cute and great that even they had troubles with the long distance relationship, they worked it out. I also wished we'd gotten more scenes with Sarawat and Phukong and their brotherly relationship that was barely showed.
Overall, great special series! I really wished there were more episodes than this, because just as I fell in love with the series again the episodes ended. Hoping for more! Definitely will be rewatching from the start.
