This is my first time seeing anything with Chen Baron in it, and his hair blows me away! It's just so amazing. Oh, I foresee a super actor crush coming on this guy. Yeah, I agree with Pi Ya Nuo's girl cousin and male friend that Du Zi Feng (actor Chen Baron) exudes yumminess.
This is probably one of the best start up episodes for a gender bender that I've ever seen! I love that it didn't waste anytime and smoothly introduced all the players and the circumstances. Bravo! I think this is going to be a beautiful, and fun, obsession. I adore gender benders! I also love that the girl was raised as a guy from the get go. So she can take care of herself and is already super outgoing. The conventions of being a woman are left behind. Not to mention that actress Lai Megan shockingly is one of the more convincing crossdresser I've seen for the gender bender genre.
The best part is that the story is set with older characters. Pi Ya Nuo is going to be turning 26 soon. I love that it won't be taking place in high school. Even better this has gangsters!!!! Oh, my goodness. To of my favorite genre tropes in one.
So in my mind: gender bender + gangsters = awesome fun times
Coolest thing is the way the LOOOOOOOVE story is being setup. So they can synchronized fight together. Ba-bump! One believes in giving for being helped and the other for helping and not receiving. Oh, tangled ideals. Ba-bump. Pi Ya Nuo needs some to set her heart a flame so that she will want to become a woman in 99 days. Enter sexy wind blown hair. Ba-bump. Sexy shooting times--with some minor gun safety and where to point it (no that was not a sexual innuendo)--that totally means they have to get up close and personal. Ba-bump. Du Zi Feng was saved by a girl when he was younger and he wants to *wink* pay back his dept. Why who could that girl be that he still has the beret? Ba-bump. Accidently dancing together and then the ACCIDENTALLY KISSING!!!! *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
Oh! This is gonna be fun.

Okay, so that's why the fans and actors keep gossiping about having a second season. It wraps up nice enough and gives us a solid ending. However, it also sets up a whole knew A-mazing idea for a plot.
I have to be honest I was worried after the last few episodes starting doing immediate scene flashbacks. Not relying so much on the acting and kind of trying for more time. This final episode was flawless though. I love how Hae Yeong and Soo Hyeon find themselves in alternate timelines and how they go about realizing it.
What's more is the message that there is corruption, but there will always be those people who chose to fight it. Never give up. This for me has been one of the best dramas of 2016. Heck, one of the best period.

Okay. Okay. My heart breaks with Soo. So has jumped off the cliff of nice guy/charming prince to villain like that. Man didn't even blink. The power totally corrupted him right off. The amazing thing is that the writers have done such a great job that I understand what Soo is doing. Sadly I don't condone it.
It feels like his cruelness was always lurking there. But he understood the cruelness that he suffered from and wouldn't go there. He would protect those he loved. He may not have lied, but he wasn't forward with the information. I'm sure if he told Hae Soo why her friend was leaving she would have been okay with that. Instead he let Hae Soo lead her to death.
How cruel. This episode tore me to part. I still can't believe everything that happened. The villains became the victims and So became the villain. Why is no one even thinking about 9th Prince being the culprit. He has his fingers in everything, that was his servant.
Anywho, I am torn. That was crazy. I was soooooo moved by So saying "You are my only queen." Then I was totally cheering So on when she said "I want it."
These last two episodes are going to be intense.

Well played Wook. Well played. Poor Soo Hae, in order to keep her freedom she had to scar herself. Though really? Is that tiny cut from before the issue? Pretty sure her legs and knee have plenty of scars from being tortured. That's probably the real ammo there. Perhaps even Wook doesn't want to admit how bad the royal family has misused and treated her from the beginning.
Though to be honest isn't Soo Hae already in a golden cage? Even with the moments of happiness shown, she can't fully be with So. He is King. He is no longer with her.
It saddens me how after failing Soo that Wook is so heartlessly attacking her. Shame on him. That amongst all the other stuff should truly state it best. He only wants things he can't have, and once he can never have that person then he suddenly can hurt and throw them away.
I'm actually cheering the 14th Prince on. Soo should go with him. He plans to only have her and he wants to save her. He has a good heart, even if he cant' always see through things. At the very least Soo should just want to leave the palace. Love kept her there, but happiness is always fleeting.
Not to mention So totally creeped me out here. Not to mention that the 13th Prince's romance is on the edge of a cliff and he doesn't know he should be watching out for someone pushing him off it.

He's doing it all just for the power. That's all it is. His lame excuse that he is rising to power to protect her is a joke. A total joke. There's no way he couldn't get dirt on Madam and totally turn the table around. The whole scene with him "faking" it with his daughter to look like a horrible dad was sooooo awkward to watch. There's no way the writer could redeem him.
Poor Anna is surrounded by evil people, and has had the unfortunate circumstances of bad parents. Ones who's life choices have ruined hers.
Anna's character is really grating on me. It's not the actresses fault. It's the writing. Madam is definitely the more interesting leading lady.
The previews again make it look like Anna may have more to do than freak out and cry. Here's hoping. Not to mention that Je Ha looks like he's gonna be super cute.
This episode was a bit of a drop in quality, especially with how things are connecting. Oddly enough I'm enjoying the political games between Madam and Gwan Soo the most. Is it weird how much I love Madam? Strong woman? Check. Villain? Check. Can hold her own and give as good as she gets? Check. I'm kind of in love.

This episode should have been more appealing to me. Anna definitely has more time and there's background development. Even Je Ha and Anna have more time together towards the end. The sad truth is I spent most of the episode really bored.
It also bothered me that she brilliantly escaped and evaded everyone, but couldn't do that at the beginning of the series? Really. -_-
The problem is all the "hints" about Anna and who her mother was were so heavy handed that it wasn't really a mystery. Though I give props to Anna for trying to find out the truth . . . or at least doing something. It's just all given away already so there was no mystery to solve. Though I'm sure some people haven't guessed it yet.
Really I actually liked the scenes with Madam better. She's a very A-mazing female protagonist and antagonist. I find her so compelling. Especially as she crushes on Je Ha. Don't worry Madam Cougar we're all aware of what you're suffering from. Je Ha called her a friend? (Bet she melted on the inside.)
It's really sad that finally there some Anna time, but it's so dull. All of the other characters that have been established hold my attention more now. Hopefully now that Je Ha and Anna have officially re-met again things will get more compelling. Clearly she has to quite wanting dad and simply want freedom? Right? Because dad gave her the cold shoulder. Je Ha needs to confess that her dad had no idea where she would go. (I think it's a front he's putting up for Madam, but it would be more interesting if he really didn't care. Just wanted her hidden. So many places to go with that.)
Side note why was Madam crying during the song? Dark secret to be revealed? Oh, and I loved the flashback scene with Anna dancing with her mother. Such a beautiful moment and tie in.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
I love it when I call a plot "twist" I just knew he'd end up working for "Madam" because her enemy would be his!!!! (I read/watch a lot of things.) That's great because I'm really interested in this. Because Madam had some serious creeper vibes when she gazed at Je Ha. No, I won't lie Je Ha and Yoo Jin (AKA Madam) have some chemistry. They're playing well off each other: hate, curioustiy, and so much more. It's all very intense.
That ending was super interesting. Was it just his fantasy? If it was real how will he escape the consquences?
As for the cast the political games are interesting, very-very. However, I feel like Je Ha is very predictable as the world weary hero. His character has been done before. Ji Chang Wook is what makes the character interesting. Hopefully in the future the character will become more than that and not just be cool because of the actor.
Poor An Na. All she does is scream, cry, and freak out. If I was the actress I'd be annoyed how little my role actually required and was up to this point. The weird thing is that the previews keep trying to make An Na look like she has more to do in each new episode. Honestly she has to have more to do in the next one right? I hate watching nothing but crying scenes. It's a strange choice by the writer (and director) to not want to show other aspects of their female lead. It's an odd choice to have her have such little use up to this point. Besides being the imprisoned damsel. -_-
This episode showed a bit more promise. What really needs to happen is to develop the leads more! Give An Na something other to do than cry all over the place. Ji Chang Wook has been a great thing to watch! Let's hope his character is more. (Props for kissing scene already. Sadly it was a freeze one.) Actually I have to give props to most of the actors, especially the other leads they're doing a great job. The writing may not be there yet, but man are they bringing it.

Boom, that's how Xiao Nai the Boss, the Great Master, does it! Loved this episode. Truly moving things along in a great direction. Especially as there are only 2 more episodes left! Holy, cow!
This is the closet I've come to binge watching anything since Healer. It's been a blast.
I love all of the fabulous character moments here. Oh, and did anyone else see KO's eye twinkle? Look out Hao Mei.
All of Love O2O's sounds/music were on display here and I adored the music during the presentation when Xiao Nai and bros crushed it!
Even better is that the school's number one beauty, AKA one of the villains, grew from the experience. Can you believe that? Too awesome. I feel like her cousin is headed that way as well.
Great episode! (See Wei Wei has warmed up, she totally ran joyfully and unreserved into Xiao Nai's arms.)

So last episode review I was praising the drama for letting them be separated realistically. So now here's the big pull in with Xiao Nai cleverly paying for her ticket and interning her. >_< Oh, well. Even a realistic drama can only handle so much reality!
Either way I'm happy because it was the lead into the first kiss! Boom! Though to be honest it wasn't quite what I had expected. First off all Xiao Nai was no cold-y. First kiss. Um, he really is the master.
I get it was Wei Wei's and she did that whole fished shocked thing. I just thought . . . she might warm up to it? Her embarrassed reaction is both cute and odd. But I guess she's use to things not being physical. Smart move on Xiao Nai's part to not leave her alone with her thoughts about it. Who's the awkward one now? (Though she was more moved by the hand kiss!!!)
Either way fun episode and I liked it a lot! I love the cliffhanger from this and can't wait to see what happens next while they're cleaning. I hope Wei Wei warms up enough so that future intimate acts, whether it be a hug or kiss, doesn't feel so awkward.

Hold up! He just boldly called her his dear wife. Last time he stopped himself.
I was kind of surprised by Wei Wie's reaction. Or I should say unreaction.
I think this was a good episode for moving the seniors along and starting up the happy couples parting. There was great melancholy for the bros and no more school/summer breaks.
Wei Wei and Xiao Nai's relationship still feels a little distant to me. I feel like the ice between them still has to thaw. Even after the whole "wife" thing.
Hair pin by Wei Wei was super cute.

Hmmmm, cool. I enjoy seeing the business side of things for Xiao Nai's business. I think he'll bring Wei Wei in to come up with new ideas, or that's what I want so that Wei Wei's dreams can be realized.
Er Xi and Guang's story isn't be developed. We did see a bit more of Hao Mei (AKA Mr. Beauty), and despite how much we get to see of Wei Wei and the Bro's I does feel on the outside of things. Interesting development and I'm very curious as to where the writers are going to take it.
The school's number one beauty really annoys me and I'm not interested in her new strategy to snag Xiao Nai. It's interesting the cliffhanger ended on her big reveal.
Anywho I loved the whole team up with Wei Wie's ex and his wife!! Xiao Nai was right, because he saved them they'll hate it even more!

At first I was a bit disappointed about Wei Wei's reaction. That she was afraid she'd been "dumped". However, I love that suddenly she was confronted with the reality that she had fallen for her gaming husband. With that she was feeling shy. I loved when she woke up and decided she needed to go for it.
Especially since she picked that red dress! She means business and she's gonna get her man!
So my main complaint last episode was Er Xi and Cao Guang not having enough time! Well they had tons this episode and it was a blast! Oh, man I just love them together and can't wait for when they it's them interacting online. Props to Gaung for not lying to her about using her.
Oh, Old Man's conffesion and feeling was such a sweet moment. I almost cried. It's great to see how deep they're love/friendship is. It may be another car accident plot device, but it was well used here. Though I felt like time had passed for a week or two, not one day! This episode was a bit slower and had some draggy parts that I thought could have been edited better. (Seeing the game story on repeat.)
Okay, now I have to rush over to the next episode so I can finally see Wei Wei and Xiao Nai meet up officially in person! Will she actually where that sexy dress? We'll find out in the next episode.

Is it really necessary to pick an auspicious day to get married in a game?
I love the overlap and connections of their gaming life and the real world!! Ah, and the gaming visuals are still so lovely.
I also really love Wei Wei's friend and their whole relationship.
A random thought. As I watch more C-dramas I'm seeing that female leads can actually have female friends! I'm wondering why this is such a hard thing to find in K-dramas?
Anywho, great episode. I think things are developing nicely. Though it's totally annoying that because someone gets out of a fancy care their have to be selling themselves? Sometimes different view points like that blow my mind.
Oh, and Xiao Nai bro's are totally awesome!
Anywho, still a really fun show and I'm looking forward to the next episode! I love the whole gaming vibe and nerdy feeling. I love the old super Nintendo style sound that hits the OST and flavors the show here and there.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Episode 5

The actress playing Lady Hae was dazzling. From knowing how Wook felt about Soo to trying to set things in motion so that both Wook and Soo would be happy. Even if it meant together. Oh! The conversation between Wook and Lady Hae while watching Soo make soap was moving.
Going into this episode I had already predicted how events would turn out. AND sadly someone posted a spoiler. This in no way took away from the power of this episode.
Though from the previews I have issue with how Wook may feel . . . but I won't discuss this until it's confirmed.
This episode was visually dazzling. The writing and pacing delivered the story to new heights. Wook and Soo have clear chemistry. There's no denying it. I enjoyed that the writers didn't just focus on the tragic romance unwinding, but took time to seamlessly move along other characters stories and plots.
Well done. Well done. My heart was moved.
(That said. Oh my drama, guys!!!!!! The previews. The previews! How is the queen not able to keep her promise to Lady Hae. How the crap am I going to wait a week again!! Curse you airing dramas. You torture me!!!)

Cinderella and the Four Knights Episode 7

Well it happened. Cinderella and the Four Knights hit my inbox and I clicked it. Ahn Jae Hyeon you gorgeous, gorgeous man. It's all your fault. I couldn't stop.
Unique plot? Um no. This plot is the same recycled K-drama trope that are famous in K-drama/drama land. I will confess to some unique hijinks accompanied by some great jokes. All of which make CatFK (that looked bad) bearable. I just wish more unique elements could be here, or the writing was tighter. They wasted story with immediate flashbacks is exhausting.
That said I loved that Ha Won put Hyun Min in his place. Even saying that he's not listening to his heart. Ha-ha. Which is true. Hyun Min isn't devastated about Ha Won rejecting him. Only that he is now embarrassed that it's national news and people don't support him! Ha-ha! The whole plastic surgery thing was priceless.
I won't lie part of me is drawn to the comfort food that this drama is. However, I think it's clear how it will end. Hyun Min will reconcile with his first love, Hye Ji, and end up with her. Ha Won and Ji Woon will be the main couple. Seo Woo and Ja Yeong will be a couple or start to be a couple. Which would be perfect. I'm also afraid a blood relation twist might be tossed somewhere in here. Yoon Sun will actually become a brother. So on.
I really wish I could dump this drama, but Ahn Jae Hyeon's powers are holding sway.

Ha Won and Ji Woon will be the main couple. Seo Woo and Ja Yeong will be a couple or start to be a couple. Which would be perfect. I'm also afraid a blood relation twist might be tossed somewhere in here. Yoon Sun will actually become a brother. So on.
I really wish I could dump this drama, but Ahn Jae Hyeon's powers are holding sway.
