Just feels icky to watch

I became a fan of Kevin Xiao's after watching Falling Into Your Smile and was really excited when I saw that he was leading a modern romance drama. I love modern romances no matter how cringey or corny they are, but this one was just intolerable. The story, writing, and production are all pretty low budget. I think they could've made it work if they invested more money and time into the script. The female lead is nonstop taken advantage of and it makes me feel so icky. Also, she was completely at the mercy of the male lead and none of her decisions were beneficial for herself. The characters are essentially caricatures of tropes with no depth. I guess I could see how this could be a guilty pleasure for some but to be frank, there's a lot of better dramas out there. The acting was just okay, I really think the actors deserved a better production than this.

which is the original version Love Sick S2

Well, it's October of 2021 and I am certainly years behind watching the series; just maybe someone out there will see this. I am watching this series on YouTube and am already quite confused? There are more than one versions, so which is correct? I stated with the one called "cut".......not so sure what that means?. it will run several episodes at a time....like 19 thru 32 and the filming is clear and bold and it reads release 2017?.....then i stumbled on the MCOT production....watched a few episodes and realized there were scenes that were not in the other series.....but the quality of the video is grainy and dated released 2020?.....so what company actually made this series?........sure could use some help........thank you, Richard, American Virgin Islands

Krist Perawat wears very gay clothes, hair & earrings in this, nevertheless his song "Missing" (NOT the title song) is a really nice part of the OST. So, if nothing else, I can recommend the song. Real "Boy in sorrow":)

I wasn't sure whether I am going to like this show. While with Krist, I wasn't worried that he wouldn't deliver, whether someone of the same sex, or 20 year older, he can convince us about the attraction. It was the other cast I found more questionable. Never mind Jason Young who refuses to retire till he learns to act which means never, even Saiparn Apinya landed the very loud and annoying role tiring the lakorn audience since 25 years ago, Mek Jirakit looks very out of place, Dao Pimthong shares a hot scene with 8 years younger Ohm Pawat right in episode 2, and then Fah Yongwaree is added to the mix.

You can imagine how the scales got overwhelmed by bad acting;)

Watching episode 4, I started feeling like this show was not just about bad acting, also bad taste. Who keeps writing "drama" like this? I actually looked it up, here. It says: "Bamboo". Great. Some bamboo head? It's like, we have the rich house, so naturally it has a huge stairwell so that someone can take a big fall on it? There's the grown up woman acting like a child, then bordering on psycho? Fah Yongwaree is a rookie herself, and she gets yet another rookie portrayed by bratty Ohm Pawat to train? Is there anything that's NOT annoying to watch?

I'm sorry to watch Krist Perawat trapped in this, but he should have enough sense to walk out from this... I can't imagine how much steamy hot age-gap romance the show would have to offer for me to suffer through this. Someone let me know if there is a real kiss scene/bed scene/very romantic scene between him & Aom. I still WON'T watch the whole cr*p just for it. So, give me the exact time stamp, lol.

Intriguing Story Line

The story focuses around the FL, Jiang Jun, who suffers from an extremely rare disease: extreme anaphylactic reactions to her own tears.

The ML, Yuan Shuai, is a young extremely talented finance banking business man who grew up with the FL acting as her guardian/protector.

Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding between the two, they part ways in high school and don't see each other again until after college.

Jiang Jun and meet each other again when our FL applies for a job at the company where the ML holds a high position, and the misunderstandings ensue.

The 2nd ML, Du Lei, has his interest sparked in Jiang Jun when he believes that his business rival, Yuan Shuai, is dating her.

His motives seem questionable, as does his character.... until we are introduced to the 2nd FL who constantly accompanies him. The 2nd FL's relationship to him seems murky, unclear, and slightly sensual... until it's revealed what her real position in his life is.

The 2nd ML, Du Lei, has such in interesting and chaotic background, one hopes that his story has a good ending.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai stumbled through misunderstandings both hilarious and challenging.

Due to episode 12, I raised my rating from 7.5 to 8.5.

Updated:
The male lead let out much needed steam in episode 12, and for that I raised the rating. Nevertheless, I disagreed with him when he told his wife to apologize to another woman (who was touching and massaging him) in from of others, at their home.

Previous review:
Why did they make the female lead so unlikable?

The story is actually pretty good, the acting is good too (not necessarily award worthy), but good nonetheless. They made the female lead character so unlikable, while making the male lead character loveable. The female lead character (not actress) is physically, and mentally abusive; she is childish, and petty. She behaves like a 5 year old. The male lead is kind, patient, and respectful.

Ugh, I wish the writer made the female lead character down to earth, without being bratty and abusive. I hadn't read any of the other reviews for this drama, but I'm guessing that's the reason why the overall rating is under 8.0.

Fun office rom-com, not as light as it seems on the surface.

This drama is really good so far. The casting is incredible. The leads have great chemistry and you can really feel the history there. The music fits well, although it does repeat the same songs fairly frequently.

One thing to note is there is a plotline involving sexual assault which took me by surprise. It is a plotline being handled very well at the point I am at, but I know some of the description in episode 8 may be problematic for some viewers. That said, I maintain my high rating and do recommend it as a fun romcom drama that goes a little deeper than most.

ML's character is a super Jerk

I came into this show expecting nothing, but liking the clothing designer concept and the FL. I watched 10 episodes and even skipped to episode 14, but couldn't go further.

LIKES:
The FL's character and how the actress portrayed her.
The 2nd couple [FL's best friend and Glasses Boy (Allergic to cats guy)].
Cinematography was great and production was smooth.
OST was not over powering and I liked even the music used for the ring tones, but nothing stood out.
FX were minimal, but not overdone.

DISLIKES:
Male lead acted his part well, but I don't like how the writers made his character an over-the-top insufferable jerk. There was nothing charming about him. He deserves a woman like Luna to be his wife.
Also didn't like that they had the FL always walking in the middle of the road, like she's suicidal or just plain stupid.
Too many little side stories that weren't well written, which bogged down everything and no wonder it's 45 episodes long.
Too much product placement and some of it not even well done. (However a lot of dramas in China seem to have this issue too.)
The message of the show seemed to be more "don't try anything that you like, because you'll just fail."

OVERALL:
I don't know why everyone rated this so high, the ML's character has so many red flags! I wont watch this again and I don't recommend it at all. It was a waste of time. I kept hoping the ML's character would have some growth and not keep being such an @sshole, but he never changed.

These are two of my favourite actors so I of course had to watch...I like the way each character is sassy and assertive not naive like I have seen in alot of kshows...

the struggle of losing weight dieting and a lifelong ilness have really touched home for me with Shin Minah's character because I myself have the same ilness and thus have a love/hate relationship with food...I love eating and I hate the idea of having a slow metabolism that prevents me from eating too much...

as i watch her grow and learn with it I feel like im watching my own life play out on screen so I hope she portrays it well and keeps up the good work...

As for So Ji Sub and the surrounding characters they are superb as always..especially mr 'ma'am'...he is adorable

the whole subplot involving the ex and old schoolfriend is unnecessary however and detracts from the overall story so I just skip those parts cause I think its unnecessary

this is one show I am confident I will watch till the very last episode which will be a while for me....:-)

Is this a teen drama?

I tried so hard to watch this. However, it’s a teen drama and I don’t do HS dramas. If I wanted to watch a HS drama, I would watch a HS drama. Friends told me I have to wait until epi 9 before it gets good. It’s already epi 5 and no Zo In Sung.

Contrast this with the other superhero show broadcasting now, Uncanny Counter 2, which as been action from the get go. (That show suffers from other problems but action wasn’t one of them) No need for patience till almost midway through the season. And 20 episodes? Come on, do better with the editing seriously.

This is also a rip off Fantastic 4 and other broody teenage superhero movies trying to tame their super powers. Heroes, the American TV show, especially comes to mind. This is such a rip-off.

Insanely Good and Sane...

I know people will say how can you judge the series based on first episode. But the truth is when it hits you right, you need to review anything.

First episode really hit me hard, it is a tale of bad-cop who is power hungry has hidden good hid in his heart, because of his poor background aiming to reach at top by kissing his higher-ups, however he ends up digging the very good buried in his heart to fight against the crimes of riches and real crazy people, but of-course with the help of someone that brought good him by showing the crazy side of himself.

RSY and K, I hope they are who I am think they are, and K is only the figment of his imagination and not real, otherwise it will be super boring, if he is just imagination then I am hooked, then I am really looking forward in the story, otherwise it is another Taxi Driver type story and other Devil Judge.

Our handsome Grim Reaper and Nine-Tailed Fix is same as ever, slim, long silky hair, and crazy... he hasn't changed a bit in last 5 years, since I get to know him. Wi Ha Joon on the other hand is a recent forced to be reckoned. He has been real good since his debut and step by step he is reaching where he used to be, I hope his success isn't overshadowed by the recent purge of Korean industry.

Really good first episodes, and as it is 12-episodic drama, it is definitely going to be good one.
