Dad of the Year

This drama explores the best of the best of human nature but also the disgusting side. I just started this drama and already hooked. I did have to skip all the long dialogue of the nagging neighbors & relatives that feel the need to judge. Whole reason why I don't watch many modern C-dramas.

The dad who opens the noodle shop is a saint who end up taking care of 3 kids. Then there's the godfather cop who is also a great character as well.
I wish they spent a little more time on the little kids versions as they are all so adorable.

Its so sad that adult issues impacted the kids early on and as the kids grow you can see the personalities develop still overshadowed by the abandonment. I love how the 2nd brother helps the dad so much knowing how lucky he is to be raised by him.
The older brother is much more introverted that loves taking care of Jian Jian, the carefree hyperactive girl.
I love the personality dynamics of the three as they navigate through life and the changed feelings.
However I do wish the drama is more realistic in that none of them really went through relationships. The older brother is almost 30 and still zero relationship history.

Must skip characters:
ML 1 : Grandma
ML 1: CRAZY mom. TOXIC
ML 2 Little Older Bro: Biological butt dad
ML 2 Little Older Bro: Aunt <---- same lines every time
FL's smart GF: MOM <--- What's w/ these redic parents?
FL's pretty GF: MOM <---- not as many lines but not less annoying

As the story develops, you'll see the impact and hurt each person faces. There are so many great outstanding performances.
However the ending felt rushed. Side characters didn't wrap up their stories really. Could've used a few more episodes. This is where 40 episodes felt not enough for a change.

Okay, I usually give a drama at least three episodes to disappoint me or to get it together. But I can't get through the first ep of this.

Yes, I'm aware its fiction. Trust me I get it. But I didn't buy this mess of a premise in suicide squad, and I surely didn't buy it now.

You want us to believe, any legal system in any country, will put together a hitman, a SERIAL KILLER who scores 38 out of 40 on the damn-you're-nuts scale plus a gangster who took 25 days to take over a country together to solve crime? NO ONE WOULD AGREE TO THIS! Fiction or no! The risks are far greater than the reward!

Okay, whatever. But then you want us to suspend our disbelief that a gangster with THAT much power couldn't get out of prison and a hitman they couldn't catch - who only got caught because he walked into the police station covered in blood to give himself up....

(Sigh) nah - you're asking too much.

The first few minutes of this drama was a waste of film and a complete joke...

I can't. Maybe one day I'll try it again but nope nope nope. I clicked on it because of Dong Hyuk Jo but not even he could save this mess.

The best series of 2023

I have been waiting for this to air since last year when i saw the 9 min long trailer,and they didn't disspoint me,this is a masterpiece,this has no competiton maybe only Not me can give it a competion.
This series makes me happy,sad,warm,excited,in my toes,scared,and whipped.
Khun yai is the entire green forest.He looks at jom like he is his whole world,like the world could crumble and he wouldn't even blink
Cinamotograpy is best here,it feels hevenly.
Acting is good too.
Chemistry is off the chart,chef's kiss,wonderful.Khun yai gives me chills with the way he behaves around jom,he is so kind,caring,poetic.His confession in the drunk state was my fav.
Jom is a modern guy so he can be frustrating sometime but all his forgiven for his chemistry with khun yai and he is doing a wonderful job in it.
I really don't watch lesbian couple,so i skipped them but people said they were good.
Khun yai and jom is my comforte couple now,i can't express about how much i love them.

My personal perspective

I watched the series because I saw it on my fb acc and having the thought that I would like it, I started watching it, and I am still currently watching I want to finish it somehow but I am not sure. I wouldn't say that I don't like the whole story, there are just some that I don't like maybe really it depends on the perspective of a person. Honestly, I personally don't like stories that involves cheating and such depending on both sides, I might agree with it and I may not. I appreciate the casting and acting I really love Nine😭😘 as well as the rival Tee and Candy, oh I also like the acting skill of Preaw and natural acting of Boat, I also like Dounea(forgot how it spells sorry), how he portrays the childish side of his character tho I don't like him in the series hahhaha what I meant is the actor's acting skill, that's what I like. However, I find the series a little bit boring tho it's funny sometimes because there's one character out there that just makes me laugh, anyways idunno why, I just don't like how the other character shows his love toward the other person and how the other one deny his feelings for the other one(i don't want to spoil so other other hahaha). Continuing, I mean maybe it would be fine if the issue is mild but no it's not and I can't take it and I need to put a review. Here's a bit of spoil DON'T CONTINUE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED HEHE. I don't like how Dounea react towards Nine and their issue is not solved I feel like the story is focusing on something I don't like personally but I also think that some part of the series portrays something not good in a relationship, generally. That's it, I still feel like what I said is not enough but that's it. Anyways I appreciate the casting and maybe I would like how it will end. Gonna go back here if I liked the ending, I'm not yet done. Mwaa😘

FALTU

Plot goes off the rails midway after a reasonable start. Unexplained characters conveniently dropping in to complicate and move things forward with little rhyme or reason. Characters behave without consistency. Pretty one dimensional female characters (unless you believe that good women only concern themselves with "love" and have no other ethical values and only "evil" women have other motivations) It is the details that make a good drama - and this one fails miserably. Security is good only until the plot demands that it isn't. People are smart until the plot demands that they're not. The characters populating this world seems to be divided between the "I know everything" and "I am so dumb I don't know how to write my name". This is a good example of lazy and/or incompetent writing

"I am an Seong Mi Do, the Influencer!" What? "Influenza" !!!

It has been a long time since I truly enjoyed the pilot episode. I absolutely loved the first episode of The One and Only.

It is indeed not a washed up plot. Also it felt new, raw and broken at the same time. It does not give you introduction of its characters and pushes you right away in the middle of a story, where its characters are already at the end of their lives, even though it just beginning of their story.

I could not find a single filler scene in first episode, may be because it is the first episode, but I highly doubt it is going be any less than its first episode in quality. The tone, the setting and and the pain of its characters is a reflection of what is heading towards the rest of the story.

I am a fan of AEJ, I have liked her since I first saw her. even though she in the industry for over 10 years, but not until 2018 she truly entered television medium. She is a theater actress and on that a musical one, so you can guess her range of emotions and ability to showcase a huge spectrum of roles and characters - she is not only a versatile actress but possesses an ability to channel her emotions through her characters to a great length to give them life. She did not disappoint here as well. A job well done, not less, no more, hits you hard sometime. What I had expected, she delivered and I am very very much satisfied. I have no doubt in Kim Kyung Nam that he wouldn't do justice to his character. After watching the episodes, I was right, he is too on a path to glory of his capability of doing something different. I hope this series brings him a good fortune.

I am so loving the other characters, and can't wait how ravel stories will be unraveled and how people of Ahumiti will come to heal each other before exiting this life. I never thought Pyo In Sook first day would be this eventful, and she would have soulmates so early on. But I guess they don't have time to know each other to gel well, jumping right into it is the only solution and I like that, sometimes introduction and pace is not important.

Her grandmother scenes are heartbreaking, why always it is like that when parents are shitty, it is grandma that has to take responsibility for their child crimes. This show is going to show a lot of blood boiling stories, but at the same will show how the people at the center of those stories living their last.

The trio and the one, is going to come together to heal each other and in the middle of dying a desire of living will take place. I just hope they stick to the story, and what shouldn't happen, must not happen. Otherwise the story will lose its meaning.

I fell in love with this series, I am sure you will too. Give it a chance, it is going to be roller coaster ride of tears and happiness, of course marinated with death.

Not my cup of tea

First of all, this is purely my own opinion, so toxic fans please go away.
In my opinion the hype of this drama is really overrated. I might be an odd amongst all the supporters of this series.
Maybe the hype is because of the main actress and actor who's playing in this series, which I believe are quite famous in China. But nothing to offer to me
I am dropping this series after watching 5 episode.
Sorry to say, in my opinion there's nothing to offer from the series.
1. I am not a fans of both main lead.
2. The story is like nothing, well just boring, failed to make viewer engaged, it just missing something.
3. The editing is nice though.

I have a high expectation from all the good reviews supported by the famous main lead, but well this is really really far beyond the amazing reviews out there.

Love it so much I can't wait for more!

Ahh so far it may be cheesy but it seems so good can't wait for more! I think it'll be really interesting to see the other side of the idol industry through this show and that the actors seem pretty well equipped considering most of them are idols or former idols. They've put so much effort into the show and I can feel it. They're actually dancing and singing and even went as far as to make real twitter accounts and go on music shows. That's dedication and so admirable. Plus since acting is new for some of them they're already making me excited to see where their characters go. There's so much they could do and I know they changed a lot from the webtoon so it'll be interesting.

Perfect Combination of Creativity, Romance, Direction and Story

I mean Wow!! The thought behind creating a series that is different from the usual Kdramas was a risk but totally worth it! The cinematography, the colors, introduction and moreover the interactive part with the audience is superb! I am certain this drama will be a success! All the characters look sharp and on point. Great director and actors! And of course it has the King of Kdramas, The Ji Chang Wook so one can expect great acting, seductive eyes, love and sincerity towards the work he does! Definitely recommend everyone to watch it if you want a break from the cliche Kdramas!!

I honestly dropped it for this reason

Okay, I wasn't going to talk about this series because it honestly just annoys me but here I am.

This series is listed as a BL, it also has "Gay Romance" & "LGBTQ" in the tags under this show on Mydramalist. Here's my problem for those who haven't seen it. It's 100%, not a BL (We have two eps left so they could throw it in there At the last minute or not) but it's borderline bromance but more of a one-sided crush.

I think it annoys me because if you take away the excitement of the BL aspect, it's a decent little high school Japanese drama. When you throw at us that it's a BL and "Gay Romance" we who love BLs are going to assume it's a BL, you cant even call it a bromance because the other guy looks like he has no interest in the one who has the crush. I definitely would have liked it a lot more if it was just considered a J-Drama and you took away the tags and the BL concept.

I don't use the word "Queerbating" loosely but that's what you could depict from this series, now I'm not denying that the one who has a crush is part of the lgbtq community, that's not the problem. The problem lies with it being called a BL, if you aren't going to give us BL ( BL means, physical intimacy (i.e kissing and such) and confessions), you can't label it a bromance either (Bromance means a close relationship between two males without confessions or physical intimacy) This series gives neither of those. They are just two boys who are simply best friends.

I've seen people say it before, but they're right: if you watched 2Moons and liked the cast, then you're gonna L O V E Gen Y.
However, if you didn't it doesn't matter. There are some references to 2Moons, but you'll still understand everything even if you didn't watch it AND you'll love the cast, I promise.
This is one of those dramas that, when I finish each ep, I get a warm feeling in my chest. It's quite soft and funny, the levels of toxic topics (homophobic comments, etc) are reeeeally low compared to basically any drama I've watched, and the cast is just too adorbs. They're giving us all the cute scenes we could've had with MingKit in 2Moons s1 but with MarkKit and I love it. Also, not knowing what tf is going on with the secondary couples? I love it. It's fun to try and guess who's gonna end up with who instead of knowing things from the very beginning. Really, amazing.

About DFF

Wow this is really got me from the 1st episode. I'm so happy to see familiar faces that we used to love in KinnPorsche era.

Anyways if we talk about this series it's a group of 8 friends went on a vacation in a mountain house in the middle of a forest and other tan the 8 friends there is another friend of them that only a few people know. It's supposed to be Jin's farewell party before he's going abroad to study but it turns out that they have to face many mysterious incidents which occurs by something or someone.

The story plot is very interesting and it's based on the thailand's mythological urban legend. About the actors overall I like their acting but still it need to be improved. Usnttr is doing a great job with his character I must say that. The music choices are great.

I'm still a little bit confused about what happened to Non ( Barcode) Anyways let's find out.
If you're searching for a horror bl based story then I think you should watch this. Overall I like it even it's the 1st episode still.
Let's see what's going to happen to this 8 friends.
