I want to be objective, but I can't because I'm angry, disappointed and I love ranting so read at your own risk.

The best word to describe this drama is: BORING. The main characters are written to be super quirky and especially at the beginning there are a lot of weird situations for the sake of creating comedy and showing their quirkiness. This kinda works at first (there was a time, like 2 months ago, when I was actually excited for the upcoming episodes) but as episodes went by everything became so dull, plain...boring. I can't exactly pinpoint what doesn't work for the main characters: poorly executed clichés? lack of character development? romantic chemistry where?, but something went reaaaaally wrong and I ended up skipping their parts in favor of the secondary characters, who surprisingly had much interesting storylines and relationships.
I'm not saying this is the worst thing I've ever seen, but it's frustrating looking back after investing 16 hours of my time and seeing that I could have watched something else instead. Oh, they also used Despacito as background music in several occasions and that was the last straw for me.

(lol no I'm kidding the characters were worse than despacito but really?? in 2019??)

I don't really get why this is a classic. Yes, Hyun Bin is fantastic at acting but I just hated his character so much ugh. Overall it was pretty boring, nothing happened (except when they change bodies, that was actually really fun to watch because again: Hyun Bin) and I couldn't buy the romance because how can you get to love someone that controls you and stalks you that much? However, I actually really enjoyed Oska and Yoon Seul's bits and the ost as well. I'm not going to say 'don't watch it, it's horrible' because I've seen worse but I can't recommend it and I'm actually really disappointed because I had really high expectations. Don't be hyped, look away whenever Joo Won's being dumb (lol that's like most of the time), focus on the good things and you might actually enjoy it.

Ok so I haven't finished the show because I still have to watch the last episode but I know how it ends and...wtf??? If you had asked me two weeks ago I would have said that in my heart the show deserved a 9 but in my head it was a solid 7.5. Now both my heart and head think the same: It's just not that good so I'm going with the 7.5. I'm pretty new to BL shows so I don't know what to expect from others after reading everywhere that this was probably the best drama they had seen. I really liked the story at the beginning, although Pete was a bit too much for me, and I was also very excited for Tin and Can because I love the ''enemies to lovers'' trope, but after episode like 9 or 10...eh? Things were going great for Ae and Pete, they were cute as always, but Tin and Can's plot was just so rushed (and Kengkla/Techno and Tum/Tar were nonexistent although I didn't care much about them tbh). I tried to enjoy the scenes that Can and Tin had together(even though they looked sooo out of nowhere lol) with hope knowing that if their plot was being rushed it was because they were going to be endgame...or not? Going back to the two forgotten couples (which had like 5 minutes of screen time), why would you include a topic as delicate as rape without giving it enough time? And Kengkla and Techno's storyline was very messed up too. Anyways, I know this looks as if I'm only ranting and didn't actually enjoy the show. I did and I invested a lot of energy in it so that's why I'm so mad. Maybe I was expecting too much from it because everyone was hyping it 24/7. If someone happens to read until here I'd say: watch it and reach to your own conclusion. It's nowhere near perfect but the two leads have good chemistry and most of the time they're quite nice and fluffy (I'm not super fond of possessive/extra horny Ae but whatever).

Edit: I have tried to watch that last episode but I just can't bring myself to do it unless a second season is announced and that ending is fixed (which would be a Christmas miracle *sighs*). Fingers crossed and I'll wait for a show where Mean and Plan are the main couple and have a happy ending...please???

I found this drama by chance while I was browsing the Prime Video catalogue and saw it was a ''detective'' show so I was sold immediately. I'd say this is one of those light-hearted and fun dramas to watch when you don't know what to watch next because I don't think anyone can take seriously a masseur (is that the word?) that solves murder cases after massaging people hahahaha. It seemed very absurd after reading the synopsis and it was still after watching the whole thing but it's very enjoyable and entertaining and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys comedy in general.

Anyways, I had just finished watching Idol Producer and discovered that there was this new drama with Cai Xukun as the main lead so of course (whyyyy???) I had to watch it. It's not that long but the drama finished either airing or being subbed in September and I just finished this today after pushing myself because I had 4 episodes left. I quite enjoyed the storyline up until episode 10 more or less and I was 99% sure that Ye Lin and Xiao Qin would end up together even though I was more team Su Sha (is that how you write it? I'm sorry, I love you) BUT GUESS WHAT in the end Ye Lin is super clueless and just as dumb as in the very beginning! YAY! I just feel like they tried to have many storylines and they ended up forgetting about them which resulted in nothing and ughhh. I don't know what else to say, honestly. I know I gave this a 5 which for me means it was bad but watchable.

This movie became so famous that it was even released in my country so of course I had to watch it. The plot isn't super original (because come on, it's a zombie story, survival and blah blah blah) but it was well put together and in general the acting was pretty good (except Sohee and Wooshik's which felt very fake and exagerated sorrynotsorry, they need to improve and I know they will). Btw, THIS IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE. I'm saying this because it's often presented as horror and after watching I it I can say that it is clearly a drama. It's not scary at all (thank God) so if there're people like me that are worried of not being able to sleep at night: it's fine. The soundtrack is amazing as well. I don't think I'll ever rewatch this again purely because the surprise factor isn't in it anymore but if you haven't watched it I really recommend it.

And this is why it's not worth watching a drama only because of the main lead

Watching Coffee and Vanilla has been... interesting, to say the least. The cast is hot and there's something compelling enough to keep watching, but that's where the pros end.

Risa wants to experience her novel/drama love story and what she gets seems more like a poorly written y/n fanfic lol. They meet and 5 seconds later they're dating and oh wait now they're engaged??? And in the following scene they start living together and it's like trope after trope but everything happens so fast I just can't process all this shit!!!! The chemistry between Risa and Hiroto is pretty much non-existent and it's so uncomfortable trying to watch the intimate moments... the guy really tries to make it seem sexy while this woman stands there with her eyes closed and being stiff like a plank. I refuse to believe these two fuck on a regular basis as they're trying to make us believe! Hiroto tells her to take his clothes off or kiss him or something and she looks at him as if they hadn't been having sex since they started dating. Anyways, I've seen Dori in a better role but I don't have any references with regards to Fukuhara Haruka so idk if Risa being that way is because of the character or bad acting.

Ok I know I've just ranted a lot, but despite all of these terrible things... I was hooked? I had to look away continuously because of the second hand embarrassment, but tbh I had a great time making fun of it and it was a short watch. Still, I don't really recommend it.

So... what a ride. I had been expecting BFR since the first trailer back at the end of the year and I was soooo excited. I loved the cast and it seemed one of my dream couples (Mond and Fon) would happen, but the final product was honestly disappointing. I still enjoyed it though.

Pros:
- Smile and Badz were so cute together and had great chemistry
- Loved the opening
-They all looked hot and/or adorable which is bonus points
- That's it for the specific pros but I have a general feeling of enjoyment

Cons:
- Liz's hair: why is it changing all the time? Was it that difficult to film the scenes in order? Or not letting her dye the hair at all if that wasn't possible? It was very annoying
- I thought Liz and Kyro were meh
- I know you need to give the characters some depth but Liz and Kyro's family stories were so irrelevant for me
- Smile was in trouble 99% of the time from beginning to end. I get that Badz aka her knight in shining armor has to come rescue her but I think she was almost sexually abused at least 3 times
- The entire Boy For Rent concept was very disturbing and was poorly resolved in the last episode (maybe because I couldn't watch the last part with subtitles)
- I know most people (me included) thought Badz was best boy but he had a lot of bad attitudes that made me go uhhhh

Conclusion: watch at your own risk lol.

I'm a huge Produce fan so of course I had to watch this and even though I enjoyed it, in the end I was just ehhh. I loved some of the trainees (a very small amount in comparison to other editions) but the majority felt very average and uninteresting to me, idk. I couldn't watch it as it aired because of uni so I got the top 11 spoiled, which is probably why I didn't enjoy it as much??? + some episodes were so long aka the 4h long final episode. Overall I think it was a pretty entertaining show and I'm going to follow the debut group but I don't think I'd recommend watching it unless you enjoy watching religiously every Produce show.

It's not a perfect show, the ending was awful and it seemed that none of the characters had learnt anything from their experiences but at the same time I really enjoyed it? I honestly don't know how to review this. It had its good moments and I'm glad we could see Good confessing to Boyo (let's ignore it happened 30 seconds before the show officially ended) as well as Stud being ''happy'' and appreciated, and also Am being an independent woman (let's also ignore the fact that she might actually get back with P'Bern because he's actually not that bad by comparison lol). However: I just can't ignore the fact that Sam cheated on Earth, did nothing to redeem himself, broke the relationship to escape from the guilt and Earth is the one that insists in staying together...what? And why can he forgive that cheater but not his friend? The way I see it he shouldn't have forgiven any them so quickly BUT if I were to forgive one first it would be my friend, especially knowing how Stud was (ok, so I can't be totally impartial here because I just can't hate my boy Stud) whereas Sam was a wolf in sheep's clothing lol. Also Boom: Tor is a completely useless little piece of sh*t and just because he dedicated a rap to her or whatever ( I skipped that scene because I wasn't going to waste my time) and then promised to behave BAAM they're back together and super in love. Really???
I know, I'm complaining a lot but I seriously enjoyed watching it despite being a mess. I knew since episode one this was going to go downhill so maybe the lack of expectations made me enjoy it more? Who knows. Also, that soundtrack? I loved it.
Now, GMMTV give me a show with Plustor and Singto as the main couple, or Plustor as the main lead or just something good pleaaaase.

I watched the drama a couple of months ago and I thought it was lacking an explanation or something in the end that I thought hopefully would be resolved in this movie. However, I just spent two hours of my life watching the exact same thing with a slightly different ending, which is why I decided to rate the film this low. I was not a fan of the original story even though I was digging that plot but either it was badly executed or I'm not used yet to Japanese storytelling. I really liked the main actress though so I'll make sure to check out more of her works. Also, if someone is reading this and trying to decide whether to watch the movie or the drama I'd go for the drama. It has more of an open ending in comparison but it was overall more enjoyable.

Llegué a Ainori con la esperanza de encontrarme con un reality en la línea de Terrace House (no lo es), y aunque me parece que tiene sus altibajos me ha dejado con muy buen sabor de boca. Los primeros capítulos son un poco lentos y no terminaba de acostumbrarme ni a los presentadores ni a los participantes, pero a medida que empiezan a soltarse y empezamos a conocerlos mejor no pude evitar cogerles cariño (en especial a los primeros siete). No voy a hablar de todos y cada uno porque se me haría eterna esta ''reseña'' pero: Depparin aka la mvp. Depparin nos ha dado tantos buenos momentos y tanto drama, y me alegro de que al final terminase feliz con Akira. Lo mismo digo de Asuka y Yuchan . Ay señor, cómo sufrí cuando se fueron los tres porque la mayoría de los que se quedaron hicieron un Wedding y por eso los tres últimos capítulos se me atragantaron bastante. A eso súmale que no entiendo cómo Kasuga decidió quedarse con Shy Boy, un tipo con momentos muy graciosos pero por lo general MUY CREEPY. En fin, sólo quería desahogarme un poco y dudo que haya redactado algo coherente pero que me ha gustado y espero con ansias una segunda temporada (¿sacarán algo de qué tal les ha ido a las parejas?).

I'm going to try and keep this review short so: I loved it. That's it, thanks for reading (lol no).

I am a big fan of the first two seasons of Ainori and this season did not disappoint! I'm going to be honest and say that I might have enjoyed more some of the couples that were formed in the past seasons, like there was a more defined/coherent progression? I guess. This time though I couldn't stop laughing, crying from both sadness and happiness, and just in general I had an amazing time watching Shumai trying hard, Susu and Haribo getting together, Yuina having a forbidden love lol, my girl Husky getting her happy ending, everyone attempting to climb the Kilimanjaro...and Depparin was nowhere to be seen!!! This happiness kinda intertwined with the usual weird/too serious scenes that the show throws in there every now and then (I get that they don't want to show only the good parts of the countries they're visiting but is it necessary to show people puking or Haribo's pictures after his accident? I don't think so) but...yeah D: Oh, kudos to the panelists and the rest of the crew because they made it much more enjoyable.

I'm sure this made no sense but in summary it was everything that I expected from Ainori and of course it had its flaws but other aspects compensated them.

It was entertaining, I guess. It's not great (especially if like me you've watched the anime/read the manga) but I wouldn't say it's the worst adaptation ever. It just felt as if there was something off the whole time, like something wasn't right. Also, I'm more of murder cases than kidnapping so I guess that's another reason for me not enjoying it as much lol. I have to say though that I'm so glad they decided to go with Shinichi before he became Conan, otherwise it could've been horrible lol. I really liked having a AND THIS MIGHT BE A MINOR SPOILER OF THE END BUT NOT REALLY SINCE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL PLOT OF THIS EPISODE sneak peek at the end of Ran and Shinichi as well as the detective kids. END OF POSSIBLE SPOILER.

Overall, I'd say that if you haven't watched the anime/read the manga you could give this a try and then go watch the anime/read the manga. If you have watched/read Detective Conan and don't know whether you should watch this or not... unless you love this series with a burning passion maybe you can skip it and watch something else since it has nothing to do with the actual plot.

I was bored one afternoon and all of a sudden I was already finishing the second episode. I guess it's an entertaining show with an adorable male lead but I don't think it's particularly good. The storyline is pretty cliché (usually the boy pursues the girl but I mean cliché as in girl who pursues boy storyline, idk if it makes sense) and 2/3rds of the characters are a little bit annoying but I'm going to watch the next season so maybe it's not bad at all. If I had seen who the female lead was I wouldn't have started it because I hated her in Kiss Me Again, but I don't know if it's her acting or the characters she plays. At least now I'm even more excited to watched The Gifted after seeing Nanon! I'm sorry, this review wasn't useful at all. I haven't watched the baker one but if you haven't watched Puppy Honey I'd suggest to watch that one instead.
