Magical Touch

So this is the first JDrama that I have actually enjoyed.

The storyline was pretty different then any normal BL, out of nowhere. Surprising us with its wholesome and refreshing original plotline. This is a story about an introverted sales man who was just going with the flow of life and not much caring about love thus stayed as a virgin. and it was also kind of funny, (wonder what what it would like to have that kind touch). I did find Adachi, kind of funny in a very cute way and, Kurosawa, and his intense crush on him, refreshing and extremely hilarious.
I like how Kurosawa always thinks of Adachi, and makes his first experiences in everything a special memory.
Adachi is someone we all can relate to especially us introverts. He looks down on himself, lacks confidence, and always gives up fighting for himself and others when needed., Where else Kurosawa is completely opposite of Adachi. He is an extrovert person and the most popular guy in the office. He is a perfectionist in whatever he does. However, when it comes to Adachi he loses his calms and his confidence wavers. All he wants is to stay beside Adachi and make him smile. Kurosawa will be happy and content as long as Adachi is happy and stay beside him even if as colleagues but that's going to change very soon though.

The best thing about this drama is that all the characters no matter how small or big their role is very much like real life. All of us can relate to them in our life personally.

My only downside to this drama is that we never got to see there first kiss and see the expression on Adachi or Kurosawa expressions, and this for me was a bit of let down, and after building up and seeing how each developed and what was going through each of there minds it would have been nice to see this.

Overall: For me, the character development was so good. Adachi overcoming his fear of losing his power and mingling with people, understanding people without his power showed huge character development! Finally, Kurosawa can have his sweet life with Adachi. A Cherry Magic effect indeed!!!

Slightly disappointing

so I did have a bit of a high expectations for this and was disappointed.

It Started out an your typical I'm a poor boy and I need more than 1 job to survive.
The characters were well matched and worked well together, the rest of cast were pretty okay.

I did feel that the story was dragging and had to much dialogue and the pace wasn't quite there, there wasn't much in the ML showing there effectiveness and love fur v each other till the last episode.

The bad boy vide didn't come across to much and that for me was a let down. Then there seemed to be a triangle love developing but again that wasn't well explored, and left the dude been stood up twice!

Overall it was an okay watch, i will do part 2 mainly because of the teasers they left behind

To the point

This was a really short drama of only 4 episodes and not more then 15 minutes give or take on each episode.

Hmmm ... not much to say about this dram, I watched this in one sitting, and due to boredom and waiting for time to pass through, so it really was not on my list or like I had my eye on it.

I'm going to open about this by saying that if I had to choose one word to describe this series, it would be 'disappointing'.

The acting was pretty good, especially by War (Mark) but the story and plot were just a mess of scenes thrown together that contradicted each other and made no sense.

Like I mentioned earlier, this drama was not on my list or anything, but if I have to say that, the friends were pretty awesome and stuck with each other, this is like the only positive thing to this drama.

Rewatch value? This show has none. it's a dumpster fire from start to finish ( Apologies for the harsh review, but it really was terrible)

Disappointing ... & .... Boring

This for me was one of the worst drama, I have come across, to put where I started skipping and not even bothering to watch, the storyline I have not what it really was about, as it really lacked that, the acting was downright bad, and had no flow whatso ever to it, the characters themselves didn't seem to click at all. Lack of music in this drama was just as bad.

It was a very big, boring disappointment, It was just very boring and hard for me to even finish. The acting was stilted and the actors did not fit the characters , they didn’t fit them looks or even in characteristics. And how they portrayed them in the drama like so mismatched. They just ended up being very unremarkable, like how did this even get made?!

I will very much forget it after today and I will probably never think about it again.

I literally needed the oxygen to try and get through this drama!!!

Strange kind relationship

This does have a sci-fi feel to it. As unrealistic as it is that an phone app can summon a hologram (or a virtual person anyway). It also is part psychological thriller. I really liked that it showed a long-term relationship of two guys, even though it is going through tough times.

ACTING/CAST: Absolutely superb. I was amazed at how well these actors conveyed the emotions of their characters. They weren't bashful during the "making out" scenes either. The actor playing Lin has some very pretty eyes.

Basically this movie turned the idea of dating apps and took it one step further. What if there were virtual companions that were customized to your exact desires. The skin ship is out of this world, brilliantly shot. Lin was adorable when he came but as the story progressed you start wondering what's really going on. This movie talks about something extremely common in most relationships. You never know if you are truly in love or if you're confusing it with some other feeling. About the rut every relationship goes through and how people grapple with confused feelings of attachment and simultaneous resentment. Not too sad, but it is emotional.

Overall : A happy ending, but a rollcoster.

Sweet & Hilarious

I had little to no expectations going into Fish Upon the Sky, as I found the trailer and concept pretty underwhelming and cliché.

Its one those dramas you can literally watch with your eyes closed, I found it really sweet and funny most of the times, and the characters worked well together. This is absolutely one of, if not, THE funniest GMMTV series I've seen. I find a lot of the delivery comedy wise in GMMTV series to be a little cringe and sometimes hard to find funny, but this series does not have that problem in the slightest. Although Pi and Mork have some really funny scenes, especially towards the beginning, the humor really shines in the "Story of a fifth-year student" scenes with Meen and Duen. Both of them have really perfect comedic timing, and the ridiculousness of their scenes are so fun to watch!

If you are looking to have a lot of fun, see one of the best sibling relationships I've seen on a drama in a while, and aren't looking for a cinematic masterpiece, this show might be for you. For all its faults I don't regret any time I've spent watching it.

Overall: It was a sweet and funny drama, that you could watch without any thought process to it.

Disappointing ... But Watchable

OMG ... I was so looking forward to this series after watching the first one a few days ago, mainly because of Tin & Can, hoping that they story would develop and how they came about to loving each other.

Firstly - the major let down for me was Aee and Pete what the hell happened!!!? they ended on a good note in the last series, so how the hell did they break up in this drama, and the worst part of it, was that even though i stuck to my guts hoping to see or at least get an idea of why they broke up, well that's where the disappointing part comes in, there was no such thing. All you get to see is Aee being so dam miserable and pathetic, although he did look more mature in this drama, then the first, but still why did pete leave, what was the reasons behind it, where did he go, and seriously Aee if hey didn't know then why make him a cry baby, from being this cool bloke in the first series to being such a hot mess!!!

Secondly - Tina / Can story was more a less a repeat of from the first half, in the few episodes of the start which to me was a real waste. But at least it develop to something, and we go to see why his brother was a nasty piece of shit, oooh but I love how Can stood up to him and threw down a few punches for his man!!, Tin was still so serious but in a very patient way. although it did feel like there scenes were forced compared to the first drama, the shy can and how tin was trying to explore him, and being romantic.

Thirdly - what on earth was the story between Kla and captain of the football team, gosh he spent most of his time running away from the man, instead of just talking to him, I take my hat off to him, for being so diligent, but that was just a waste of time, only towards the end did accept the man. I felt that this couple was used as an intermission and as a chance to change the mood.

To summarize, I feel that the producers created this season just to make us shut up! They had 2 years to prepare for this series but in the end we got something awful.

VERY DISAPPOINTING !!!

Alice in wonderland ....

So apart from the fact that the ML (Johnny Huang) is super hot, this story is really touching and has an exceptional meaning behind it.

This story is a very realistic one, a typical girl with very low self esteem, and how people view her because of her weight or judge her based on her looks, that generally what goes on till to day.

A magic portion comes into play and at cost to her friendship she initially, loves the fact that she is recognized, and get noticed by everyone, her true friend however, sees her for what she really is and doesn't judge her one bit, but at the time she can't see it. her greed overtakes her to remain thin, but like all things life it comes with a price. after realizing that she was lucky enough to revert back to the way things were.

I particular loved the ML and his support her and often when she was determined (short lived) he still stood by her and was ready to help or assist again and again, he never wavered. the FL played her role well, in her views on of how she saw herself which I am sure most can relate too one in there own encounters.

This story behind the meanings were really good, love yourself, never give up and always be true your self, and not allow other to judge you, it also stands to show what a true friend is or how love can overcome the views of others, hats off to the ML for portraying that in a way.

Overall a lovely movie with the whole Alice in Wonderland theme ....

Sweet Love ....

I laughed a quite a few times in this, especially at the parts where there remember Tharn first meeting with Type father, OMG that was totally hilarious, the father fainting and then making poor Tharn sweat eating spicy food. LOL

I loved the fact tharn did loose his cool, or respect and took everything that was given to him like a man and showed his undying love for his MAN.

Type's big moments of coming out to his friends, family and Kom happen either offscreen, for laughs or in rushed broad strokes with all the emotions stripped from them. I should probably just be happy the writers dealt with those issues at all. They certainly didn't mention Type's trauma, apart from an impetus to his - apparently ongoing - hatred of Bad Gays.

We got to see some aesthetically pleasing scenes, like the beach/sea scene of Type and Tharn, that, I must admit, was shot quite well. BRAVO. On a scale of 1 to 10 ummmm its off the charts. Rewatch value...are you effing kidding me i can watch this all day with stupid grin plastered on my face.

This is truly shaping out to be a really good drama.

Happy Ending ...

I particularly liked this second series of this amazing story ...

Tharn & Type Journey after 7 years together, and how they touched on some real issues that I am sure every new couple experiences when hitting the 7 year mark.

I particular love Tharn strength and determination and such a strong love towards Type, he always stood by and allowed him to vent out his anger but he never waived and always there for his MAN!! The emotions and the ups and down that these two experienced were very real and you could feel the love that they had for each other. They suited and complimented each other really perfectly.

I feel this second part really flowed through nicely, the sister grew up and the brother and friends all found they best half, however Type friend Techno was the real character in this second series, he kept us entertained and his comments and quirkiness made for an exception watch, I loved his character here.

This was really good binge worthy watch

Dramatic ... But in a good way ....

This BL series was definitely different... Not too sure about the hype behind it and all, but I did find this drama to be a real sweet story with a good story background.

The two main characters had some serious good chemistry going to between them, I particular liked Tharn role, his cool and relax attitude and understanding to Type was really awesome. The way he patiently waited and understood where type was coming from after his ordeal was really strong of him, it showed his character to be one of strength and understanding. Type in the beginning was a bit childish and very immature but he was understandable from his point of view, and in the end I loved how he came around and claimed Tharn as his.

The emotions between these two characters was felt, especially in some episodes, you could really feel the love and sadness for these when something took a turn, but I love how they always work things out and always stood by each other, and made up.

Type friend was really supportive and extremely the funny one, and the rest of the characters were really good.

I totally enjoyed this drama and the two songs that goes with Tharn & Type is really good.

Amusing and funny

I can't say that I really enjoyed this series, however it was very entertaining.

You have a very strong FL who acted extremely well, and knew her place, however the ML was just way amusing and often very childish, to the put it did put off wanting to watch it, there was no real story line behind it i feel, she was general who led a strong army and was married off to very a fragile looking man, (where at times you wondered if he was manly enough), his childish behavior in the beginning was extremely laughable.

This series i found was more comical than anything and for 60 episodes I think was too long for no real life story.

He did come through in the end, but was still immature, I like the FL lead and her strong personality and they way handled things including her husband, which at times she treated like spoilt child.

Boring

This was such a boring and low budget movie.

The acting was terrible, the story was boring , this just felt like a low budget movie, that was slapped together.

neither the cast or the characters grabbed my attention.

very boring and no imagination at all, no story. I didn't really care for the plot of this movie because it is the same plot as the original. They didn't add anything to it at all, it was just repeating it. But the way it was executed was terrible and so bland. I didn't feel anything, I just wanted to get it over with so I skimmed to the end.
