Read this before you watch CHAINS OF HEART

First of all in the very first episode I was thrilled by the opening scene and also it made me wanna watch the 2nd episode.
On the second episode and even the remaining episodes people were complaining that the Story is confusing ummm 30% i would agree but 70% no.
Here, I think this is not much of a BL although it does contains 18+ scenes and gay romance still I think the main idea of this whole drama is about educating the youth about how we people are damaging them and also it contains various different crime ideas that is really happening in this world of today .
This serie from my pov is good as it speaks about the various problems that our youth is facing today along with the idea of LGBTQ community.
Speaking of the characters there I found DEE DEE really annoying like tf eewww.
As for Hin and his bf they're really cute together.
And Sai is such a good actor ,On the final episode when she was talking to INGPHA she slayedddd.
And as for the last couple KEN And DIN
(Mr .Lue) their over-all Chemistry is quite good but i was expecting much more and in the very last episode we didn't see any moments of them but don't worry Sai is getting married and IG it will be on that day they will reconcile since it's Sai's wedding and obviously Din(mr.lue) will be there and we also see KEN agreeing to come to Sai's wedding while they were speaking on the mobile.
I just hope that there will be a special episode displaying the mains together and I would also like the whole serie to end with an intense bed scene (KEN AND DIN) !

Love the leads together. Had a great chemistry.

I liked the drama despite what people say about it. The plot is the same as What's Wrong with Secretary Kim & A Business Proposal, but the chemistry between the leads & other cast members is great. You should give it a try if you're a fan of leads.

Love the dynamic between Gu Won & Cheon Sa Rang. They’ve great chemistry. Love their bickering

Cheon Sa Rang is a confident, talented, fast learner, a hard worker, because of which she is able to impress everyone.

Gu Won is straightforward, a man of few words. The good thing about him is he isn't narcissistic, which most rich male leads are in K & C dramas. He is mature, understanding.

Gu Won & Cheon Sa Rang first interaction in his bathroom, then in the party where Cheon Sa Rang hid her face behind a flower bouquet.

The person who says that you’re not my type always ends up with that same person.

Love Gu Won & No Sang Sik relationship.

It’s cute how much Gu Won was worried about Cheon Sa Rang because she went on a business trip.

Gu Won hates fake smiles, but it’s the same thing that made him fall for Cheon Sa Rang.

I loved how, despite all the struggle, Gu Won went to the mountains to save Cheon Sa Rang. Then stayed with her all night.

Laughed so much at Gu Won & Arab Price argument.

Gu Won looked so cute with stuffed eggs in his mouth.

Laughed so hard seeing Gu Won & Cheon Sa Rang friends reaction when they saw them kissing & their mortified faces. Cheon Sa Rang's friend's reactions after knowing Gu Won’s true identity.

The scene where Cheon Sa Rang was shocked at seeing Gu Won's abs, reminded me the BTS of this scene.

I watched What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, A Business Proposal & King the Land back to back. 3 dramas have a similar plot romance between the CEO & Employee. What shines in these 3 dramas is lead chemistry. Someone may like 3 dramas, someone may hate all 3 or someone may like 2. I liked A Business Proposal & King the Land more than What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, I know people will be shocked to know that I didn't like What's Wrong with Secretary Kim that much. Honestly, the side character of What's Wrong with Secretary Kim was annoying to me.

These 3 dramas have one thing in common which is all 3 ML have PTSD.

Good Enough

Korean Drama 'Sweet Home' has awful CGI, but it makes up with the on-point atmosphere. The settings, the costumes, the music, the performances, everything is and feels perfect, as the group of residence is trying to survive. However, this season felt more like the introduction, as we start to get to know each character and bond with them, without, nevertheless, getting too deep into the mystery of what is happening and why and how to move forward. Still, this season sets strong foundations for those to come.

In addition, everything is well constructed, with enough screen time for each character and each storyline. The pace is also perfect for the action element of the story. Finally, the performances were all quite emotional.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.

I'll stay with you from now on, I'll stay with you forever

A lovely little epilogue to the show that helps to really solidify the bonds between the characters and does away with any lingering fears or insecurities they may have still had about forming a permanent family unit together.
I was a bit worried by the summary as I absolutely detest the miscommunication trope, but those worries were absolutely unfounded. The characters actions and thoughts are all perfectly reasonable and in character and the "conflict" is resolved very quickly and satisfactorily.
The only thing I can think to criticise is that I personally would have liked to see just a touch more physical closeness between Minoru and Yutaka, just a simple hug or something of the sort, but honestly the deep love and affection between those two is always so palpable that any physical display is hardly necessary.
If you liked the main show and want a quick watch that is guaranteed to make you smile, then give this a watch.

Extra

Yh Okay now many people are saying it is not a must watch but I think different, after all every story deserves an audience. I agree it may be day moving, confusing and maybe a little too much. But when I watched it I was rather moved l, if you happen to be a movie geek like I am you will understand the story and come to love because even though the director does not explain to use some is what is going on, but we will love this series of we all give it a chance. At first I had my doubts but when I told myself you can go on. I did. And I did see why it was titled extraordinary there is an extra kick in there though. I hope others can view it also

Reminds me again of CLOY :)

Highly recommended watch!! It’s got people from all ages- grandmas conversations, town gossip, the divorced couple, the nosy and loud lady, the retired musician/ single father, the pregnant lady and “no-good” husband, the kids... and then you have Hong Du-shik <3<3<3

He is such a dream!!! Kim Seon-Ho played his character extremely well!! With his Okay! Cool and Thankiew!!! So adorable ;);) His smile and his dimples will just melt your heart. His chemistry with Shin Min-Ah is off the charts! I know she already has a bf, but on set they look so comfortable and cute together :) Relationship development was done so right! (Spoiler: and I just loved the proposal scene!!! Soooo cute!) Love triangle was also done well and the bromance between the two gentlemen was friendship goals.

I admit I did skip some of the town gossip lol... it was just a tad blah blah... too loud and too naggy hahaha. Towards the end you will have your typical Kdrama cliches- the past is revealed, lots of crying moments, but the ending was done very well, nice closure to it. You will also see Cliche coincidences, just don’t mind it too much.

The one criticism I will give is Shin min-Ah’s dressing on set. It was horrible in my opinion! (Spoiler: especially the green dress she wore for Chief Hong’s birthday! WHAT WAS THAT??? For someone who can afford Dior and expensive shoes, please dress better!!) Most of her dresses looked like grandma’s table cloth (sorry!!!)

A wonderful, feel- good rom-com!! I laughed a lot, cried a lot, and replayed the romance scenes a lot! :) :) :) GO WATCH IT NOW!!

The experience i got after watching this drama can't be expressed in words. It was one of the best drama i ever watched. First time i felt that it looks like an ordinary periodical love story and am not interested in it. But after reading the plot i give it try thats all. But Overall it was a worth watching for me because this drama makes me cry after the finale episode. The leading actors done their job perfectly. Goblin bride & grim Reaper and lover their romances are awesome.. it was a slow paced drama so the length may be an issue for some viewers... But am ok with it. U also give it a try. You will defenetly fall in love with all characters and also the plot

honestly wasnt as bad as what people said

im gnna start this review by saying , i didnt watch tharntype at all so i went into this as fresh as i could ever be HAHAH

!! THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION WHICH COULD VERY MUCH DIFFER FROM YOUR OWN SO PLEASE DONT COME AT ME ;-; !!

GOOD POINTS:

- the actors
i've watched a fair amount of bls (esp thai) i felt that the casting for this show was done pretty well ! i really liked the chemistry between ja and first and also between smart and james ! the side characters all played a relatively good job too !
since i've not seen any of these actors prior to this series , and from their mdl profiles they are mostly all newbies ,, i think that they portrayed their roles well ! sure its not perfect and there are some scenes where i think it could have been done abit better but nonetheless not too bad !

- the side couple
smart and james really mmm i loved their chemistry and their side story but i think that the writer could have HANDLED THE DAMN ENDING BETTER FFS DJDNDN ,,,, both are new actors and as i've mentioned i was able to feel their emotions well and i thoroughly cried along with them :(

- their parents ! (excluding fiat's real mom )
okay lemme just say i love leo's parents sndndn especially leo's mom 10/10 love her heheh i'll say its one of the least toxic families and it was cute how their mother was shipping them hehe

oKay so honestly i couldn't really think of any significant bad points for this rn ( its like 3am rn so i'm kinda dead ) but honestly all i can say is that take this show or any bls especially with a grain of salt. don't take it so seriously,,, i mean sure there were parts where i just wanted to murder someone ( cough fiat's real mom ) but other than that i think as long as you don't think too much about what you're watching it should be a fairly enjoyable series !

LASTLY , i'm gonna end this saying , if you're still on the fence on whether you shld watch dsn i say just go for it ! i really don't understand why it's receiving so much hate >< its a pretty okay series for me , not exceptionally good but not TERRIBLY bad either ! coming from someone who hasn't / cannot for the life of me stand tharntype ( i never got past ep 1 :/ ) i can safely say you can watch this if you've never watched tt and i actually liked this more than tt ! i'll suggest watching the bridging eps though ! it'll help you understand some of the stuff they're talking abt !

would i recommend ppl to watch this - YES OFC JUST GO FOR IT BESTIE ! its definitely not as bad as what ppl are commenting for sure -

Mi è piaciuto? assolutamente SI!

Non amo il genere fantasy, trovo che certe volte sia troppo forzato o che spesso risulti finto al limite del ridicolo.
Questo è stato un'eccezione, la storia regge bene, il personaggio femminile finalmente ha forza, grinta e carattere (cosa che spesso manca nei drama romantici).
I costumi di scena sono meravigliosi, ho amato ogni singolo cambio di IU. Trovo che sia stata impeccabile nel suo ruolo, non mi è sembrata mai finta, mai scontata. Lui nonostante per i miei gusti non sia una bellezza, mi è piaciuto moltissimo.
Ho adorato la sua tenerezza, la sua sincerità, tutto era al posto giusto al momento giusto, in effetti anche loro se ci pensiamo.
Le storie dei fantasmi a differenza di come mi era parso in A Korean Odyssey mi hanno emozionato e non mi sono sembrate mai slegate dalla storia, cosa che in AKO mi aveva lasciata un po' insoddisfatta.
Le ost poi fanno venire giù lacrimoni anche senza capire una parola di quello di cui parlano.
Una sola cosa, la vogliamo fare questa seconda stagione o no? SUSU!

É maravilhoso mais é sofrido

Eu amo Spoiler e também odeio lsksksls Meio que assim, eu já sabia que no final o menino ia morre, então eu tinha decidido não chora, mais meu coração não ouviu eu acho, eu me apeguei no muleque e tinha uma esperança que ele estivesse vivo mesmo que tenham falado que ele tinha morrido.
Mais eu chorei feito uma condenada, não tem o que fazer aahhhhh eu assisto mesmo sabendo que vai ser triste, eu agora vou olha Moon lovers não sei o nome direito mais vou pesquisa, sei que o final vai ser triste mais disseram que o drama é bom, então vou olhar.
Mais não é sobre outros dramas, sim sobre esse filme/dorama incrível, pode ter um final trágico mais o filme é realmente bom, eu jurei que ia ser chato mais foi muito bom.
Sobre a atuação, que atores que atores, a menina era muito engraçada me fazia ri junto com ela.
Acho que é a primeira vez que dou um resumo de alguma coisa, pera minha opinião ?

Terminando de fala o drama é bom do início ao 4/5 do filme porque o final é triste mais feliz. Eu realmente queria que ela tivesse ficado com ele ahhhhhh não pode ser, fiquei revoltada de novo skksksksks mais eu acho que é isso
Então olhe esse filme, Vocês vão amar assim como eu, ou não, isso é com vocês ?

Only thing that was bothering me while watching this movie was
there is 26 year old man who look more like 30+ man pretending to be a school kid
34+ shin hye sun look so younger then this Ajusshi looking school bully
Bully look like 34 while shin hye sun look like mid 20s

I can understand that you casted a big name like Shin hye sun so you don't have money for big ML actor
but could have casted a guy that look younger then his Age to fit in a student role
SHIN HYE SUN did amazing here 20/10 for her Acting

A little bit of romance, comedy, military, hospital, bromance and drama. Some people did not like it but for me it entertained me allot. I like how they don't show the cliff hanger on the end of an episode but instead surprises you in the next episode. Of course, there are some scenes that are blah but it wasn't whole lot.
The second lead romance, you'd think was repetitive, but if you think about how a "soldier's honor" is... it does put allot of weight on the "right decision" and the angst of relationship.

The 16 episodes is just right and I am glad they did continue the story after the volunteering because it wasn't a long term deal so life has to go on.

Plus factor is that Song Joong Ki, is just eye candy and he looked really cool in his army uniform and doing all those action stuff (kinda like Healer).

Love Alarm - worth watching?

I did not see this drama in 2019. When I noticed it on Netflix in April 2021 and that it had only 8 episodes, that made me motivated enough because it means I could probably watch the whole thing in 2 days. Not to mention that I have this great interest in teenage love dramas. I’ve already seen Kim So Hyun in other dramas, including River Where The Moon Rises, which was still ongoing. I also saw Song Kang in Navillera, also still ongoing. So I thought, this drama must be a good one since I like both of their acting.

I read both good and bad reviews about this drama, but never mind, I’ll just watch it anyway. So in the first episode we are introduced to this cool phone application called Love Alarm, where you get notified if someone within a 10-meter radius likes you. Then we get to know three students, Kim Jojo, Hwang Sun-Oh and Lee Hye-Yeong who goes to the same school, and as you could probably guess, would get caught in a love triangle.

There were so many questions in my mind about the three of them. Jojo seems to have gone through a traumatic childhood, which I never understood exactly, until I got the answer in episode 6 of Season 2. Hye-Yeong as we know is childhood buddy of Sun-Oh, the son of a wealthy politician and beautiful actress. We then understand that Sun-Oh has a dysfunctional family, with self-centered parents who can only care about their public image.

Then we get to know that Hye Yeong’s mother works in their mansion, more like a head housekeeper, and so basically they live in the same house, but different quarters, but not much do we know about the family background (until Season 2)

I have seen some Song Kang’s temper tantrums as Chae-rok in Navillera, where he still remains to be a good boy, but the character Sun-oh in this drama was so unbearable to me. Sun-Oh was a rich, good-looking guy but he was also arrogant, conceited and somewhat bossy, as if the world revolves around him. He was annoyed that Hey-Yeong did not pick him up at the airport when he returned from the US. He also didn’t approve Hye-Yeong working part-time in a restaurant, because he wants Hye-Yeong to spend more time with him.

What I found also really annoying was he even stalked and kissed Jojo, whom he barely knew, and he already knew that she was Hye-Yeong's object of affection. How could you do this to your very best friend? But then again, I thought, this is a teenage romance drama. You do all sorts of stupid stuff when you were young and immature, and this was part of growing up. So I thought this would be the core of the story, a love triangle among Jojo, Sun-Oh and Hye-Yeong.

The script was a bit disappointing though, and sometimes confusing. We keep on seeing the same flashbacks of Jojo’s childhood, but as each episode continues, we still don’t get a grip on what was going on. Jojo’s cousin, Gul-mi (another annoying character) kept on mentioning about what happened in Jeju with her parents, and even threatened to tell people about it. Still we never understood what happened, and surprisingly, I was not that curious.

Anyway, Love Alarm showed the usual ingredients for teenage drama: love triangles, unrequited love, school bullying, family matters, and the ups and downs of friendship. This was illustrated using the usual K-drama formula, but there were more serious issues on the dark side which were touched briefly, such as school bullying, homosexuality (or more likely gay bullying), suicide (and mass suicide), murder and data privacy.

So how would I rate this drama? I think the acting was superb, but the script needed more substance. I don’t even know what it is, but it seemed like it could be done better. I must say I do like the soundtrack songs (some were in English) and might google to find them after this.
