IT TAUGHT ME ABOUT SELF-LOVE WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT!! THANKS RUN ON

Unfortunately, the journey with Run On has ended. But I know I can binge-watch it again :)

This was the best drama that I ever watched in my 2 years of kdrama life. This is my first review for a drama; so, you can guess how much I liked it.

The story the dialogues everything was perfect. Most importantly it taught us about self-love which is very important. Whatever I thought from the previews came out to be completely different. This drama was not cliché at all. This for me was the first drama in which I liked both the couples equally.
Gyeomi was a couple which mostly dealt with a lot of emotions and Danhwa was a couple which really brought smiles to our faces. The iconic birthday party scene which I am sure no one can forget.

Not just the main characters the side characters also helped to really bring out the happy side of the show. This show would have been nothing without- Young Hwa’s homie, Dan Ah’ brother and manager, Mi Joo’s sister like friend May and Seon Gyeom’s sister Eun Bi. These people helped in keeping the show alive.

I am not a picky person but sometimes I just get tired of dramas where I can predict the story and this was just the drama that I needed at the time. I was watching another drama on kissasian but I found it in recommendations I just thought about giving it a try and here I am. I even left the other drama I was watching.

Now for the remarks:
Story- Perfect
OST- Perfect (can never forget)
Acting- My first drama of SSK I know many people don’t like her acting but here she became one of my favorites. First drama of ISW as well and he also became my favorites along with SY and KTO and of course all the side characters.
Rewatch Value- Would definitely watch it again whenever I feel empty and want something to refresh my mind.

Last but not least not to forget I will definitely miss this drama; but I can watch it again. The thing I will miss the most is the COMMENT SECTION of this drama. It was a really peaceful place where everyone shares their views and talked about it. We together predicted the story out of the previews. I WILL TOTALLY MISS IT. I JUST HOPE IT STILL STAYS ALIVE EVEN AFTER THIS DRAMA ENDS.

I recommend this drama to everyone who doesn’t know about self-love and who doesn’t want a cliché plot:)
THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE TEAM OF RUN ON (though they can’t read it)

If this is THE best youth drama, then I'd rather stop watching them.

I'm surprised as to how many people loved this drama & gave it the title of THE best youth drama.

PLOT :
The drama was filled with cliché plot and nothing particularly different to make this drama unique. The only difference between this & other youth dramas is that in this one the FL was a little smart. But, not more than the ML. Still, I'd prefer other dramas over this since the FL being smart or not, doesn't matter much.

This drama solely focused on the leads and failed to develop the story of the side characters. There was too much focus on the MC, which made it even boring. Sometimes, misunderstandings also make a drama a good one. No couple is pure.

They introduced difficulties but ended it real quick which ruined the fun. Sometimes, difficulties is what keeps me going since I love see how they would tackle it.

In a 24eps drama, I don't think there was a need to make them a couple in he 20th ep. Okay, I know since they became couple really late, there were 0 chances of a breakup. But, what was happening before they were a couple was just like a breakup.

ACTING :
Tbh, the FL nailed her character of being cute but shy. The ML's acting was decent & not too annoying. The side characters were good; but my only complaint is that they should've focused on the side couple.

OVERALL :
This drama was boring because its the first time fast forwarded almost al the eps. I would like to say that if you love youth dramas, you can try it out. But this! was definitely not for me. :))

Watch if you want to waste your precious time on something completely useless.

First off, the relationship of the characters develops so fast. So fast, that you don't even know how they came to love each other at first. They tried to add in some spice by adding a love triangle which was absolutely badly portrayed with the SML just being overly toxic and stupid.

The first five episodes were, Wow. I don't know what happened that they decided to completely ruin the end and give us a messed up story. Them getting separated, then suddenly meeting again after a span of two years & then dating again. If you are going for this breakup-reconciliation concept, why not just portray it nicely even though the drama is short? They didn't even talk to each other and just separated?! What's the point if you just add a concept and want the viewers to be understanding since its just a short drama? Just don't include it then.

The OSTs of the drama weren't that good too, making it even more boring. They weren't able to set a correct mood. The lightings, the aesthetics, all done wrong. Even if the plot's not good, the mood makes us like it sometimes. But here, none was the case. The acting was pretty decent so nothing to complain on that.

The 8eps became a waste of time because of the last few eps, otherwise it can be given a try! :)

“How you feel?” I feel let down!

This is the first time I’ve watched a BL with the tag ‘Arranged Marriage’ and yes, I was a bit disappointed.

The drama started off wonderfully! And I loved the dynamic between Kuea & Lian. I loved how Kuea acted in front of Lian, very different from how he actually was. Those parts were pretty funny when he tried to hide his real image from Hia. Plus, I also adored Kuea & Diao’s friendship! Not to mention, the couple’s chemistry was really good. I didn’t even realize this was New’s 1st drama. The comedy was pretty good too, it made me laugh a lot.

What disappointed me?
Everything was going well. But, idk wth happened after they became a couple because the story got cheesy,cringe & very boring after that.On top of that, they introduced the property deal & stuff to twist the story. I guess I’ll never understand why the writers need to include a silly conflict in a BL all the time! Apart from that, the second couple’s story was very uninteresting and boring. I just never understood if Yi’s love for Diao was actually love or just sympathy? (though I started liking them in the very end). Also, there were so many kisses between the MC. So many that it got pretty repetitive & soon…boring (yet again). It felt like they were trying to fill in the time by unnecessarily including them.

The only thing that kept me watching it was the third couple which wasn’t expected. Their story was really good & engaging. But, it didn’t take long for them to ruin this, my only hope, too. In ep6-8 we see the 3rd couple gaining some momentum but again in ep9 Nuer is looking at Kuea. Plus, they had so little screentime!

The last few episodes were even boring especially, the main couple. Their story bored me a lot. The marriage proposal and rejections. Plus I don’t how Kuea easily forgave Lian and he was seriously acting like a kid in the 11th ep. I just didn’t understand his character at all.

Lastly, if you just want to refresh your mind from all the worries, you can watch this drama since the romance is good & fluffy! Just that some bits had me disappointed. :)

Okayish.........

Okay so I started this for my watch challenge and I even had it my PTW.
Now about the drama, it was really an okay one. I didn't like their acting that much as it felt too unreal. At one point I literally thought that "Yeah, Zhang YuXi said her dialogue" it didn't feel like Su Jinbei was the one speaking it.

The first 10eps were really good as they were a little funny to watch. But, we know that gradually a drama has to get better & better but this just took the other path and gradually became bitter & bitter.
There were a lot of cringey scenes like ML holding the FL up in his hands, then the one in which they spill the coffee and lot more.

I didn't like the filmography that much as well. When Ryan Ding was shown playing tennis & Zhang YuXi was shown exercising for the competition, it felt unreal.

There was not much need to add up a villainess kind of a thing, it could've worked better without it.

The relationship of Wudi & Yuansong was much better than the leads as there were no cringe moments in their relationship.
There wasn't any need to show Suying as an evil sister at first. I even liked Xu Jiawei & Suying's time together.
They were much better than the leads.

Overall 8/10 is fair enough because I usually rate them according to my enjoyment & for me Wudi & Yuansong saved this one.
I don't think I'll ever rewatch it again as I am not even having withdrawal symptoms as I had with my favorite dramas.

A LOVELY DRAMA!

When I first watched this drama I just fell in love with the last song that is "Never let you go", it was full of emotions.

Though many people didn't like the time jumps I just think that's what made the drama more special for me. I was happy that at least I know they are going to end up getting married or else I would have simply dropped this.

What I loved about this drama was it was not a love triangle but it depicted that they had complications in their own relationship instead of having a third wheel. I loved how they sorted out the problems, how Qiao Yi didn't want to hurt him but she had to because he was just literally just going to give up his whole career for her!!

I loved the second couple where Guanchao just played with Wu Yi's heart but later realized that he loved her♥
There were so many emotional scenes: Wu Yi with her mother(in her last stages), Qiao Yi's parents and even Yan Mo's mom.

First I gave this drama a 9/10 but now whenever I listen to the OST, I have withdrawal symptoms. I just can't stop thinking about it.

Kdramas are funny and great but according to me some of these Chinese gems show more of the reality side like having complications in a relationship that happen with most of the people in real world!

In One Word- S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R

At first I just added this drama to my PTW list hoping I would watch this or just remove it after sometime. But I don't know why suddenly one day I felt the urge to watch this drama.

The first two episodes were better than I expected them to be. And it was good , I was just going with the flow of the drama. But you can never predict how fast some things can change. This drama gradually took a very wild turn attracting the viewers by involving the story of serial killing. Like what was I expecting! I expected that everyone would gradually die the death which was already written but this drama sure knows how to make a fool out of someone and make them feel entirely stupid.

I don't want to ruin this a lot so I just want to say that I suspected someone else to be the murderer but never thought that the person who was actually the murderer could ever be one. When I discovered who the actual murderer was, it sent chills down my spine. I never expected that person to be the murderer.

This drama was just like a rollercoaster ride- you know how it is but still you keep on feeling excited. You know that the end is near, but you don't how it will end. I am just glad I thought about riding this roller-coaster.

My only advice is this drama is never going to turn out just like how you expect it to be.

Loved this drama! Glad I found it :)
