Enjoyable romantic comedy with eye candy leads and cute maltese
Castle in the Time is a very enjoyable romantic drama comedy. I love the male and female leads Zhang Zhe Han and Park Min Young! They are both eye candies and their acting is very natural! Being a dinosaur lover, I also love the palaeontologist element in the show. The little Maltese Xiao Jun Jun is also extremely adorable. Now only into the 5th episode, expect more and more exciting twists and turns to the storyline! Go watch if you have not yet done so yet! It is now showing on Japan's LaLaTV and will also be showing on SkyPerfect TV and Thailand's Monomax!¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

Terrible Ending In My Room
Overall: I watched the first 3 and half episodes and the last episode (cut version). Very disappointed at the ending.Content Warnings: kind of attempted self harm/suicide - it's complicated, character death, horror, watching someone without their permission
What I Liked
- there was some stunning cinematography for example in the beginning with the light behind the characters, nice color scheming, music contributes to the mood
- the intro drawing/animation sequence
- the kiss in the final episode was well done
Room For Improvement
- in the cut version, there is zero explanation why Phob didn't turn into an evil ghost?!?
- Phob was too gutless to say goodbye to Phat (but then they did say goodbye, I have no idea why/how that came about)
- time skip and 50ish year old Phat says he married a woman but it didn't work out, he's dying of cancer and his mom died...then Phat and Phob reunite after Phat's death
- free version cuts out parts and it felt choppy in many places

This is my request to you guys to have dubbing in English and hindi both the languages.. So that people who are watching your show in india feel more connected... And this thing applies to everyone out there.. People love to watch television in their own languages...
Love ❤you people... ????????????
And at last there are only 14 episodes on YouTube... Where to watch the other ones??

many faces of booooring
First of all, it's a lakorn, so expect all crazy things, like vile women fighting over guys, complicated marriages with first wife, second wife, mistress' son etc, the "pure" girl who rises from poverty through marriage and - of course - her own abilities etc etc.You can throw stones if you want, but i find the child actor totally cringe, he is a plump child and supposedly cute for being so, but guess what? He is not. His hair cut above the eyes doesnt help either... And he reaaally doesnt compensate these with talent! Whose child is he anyway? Also, casting a fat child as the "bad kid" in school is totally wrong, but i guess no one cares, since so many things are wrong in lakorns...
Our ML is handsome, though not particularly charismatic, and so is the FL, who needs to be saved several times per hour, either fainting or tripping into the arms of the two brothers, or bumping into them while they are shirtless! She must be very lucky too, after first drinking night to get preg with a handsome billionaire, and later having the rich CEO coincidentally popping everywhere - totally charmed by her qualities: (you can start a list here - make sure to add "smiling with all her teeth").
(Still) watching for the craziness.

They make a nice couple both perfect match .
for a long eps I'm feeling kind of bored sometimes so i prefer to read the synopsis at first .
36 of eps with 30 minutes duration plus 36.5 special eps ( at the ends finale together even only in spirit form its really fine <3 ) . besides the 2nd leads act their natural way make it more interesting
China always be beautiful . some dramas for stress relieve so Will keep support #bambizhu #dylanwang

Far better than expected. Can't take my eyes off the fight scenes & interactions with the male leads
This is my first review I'm leaving for a Chinese drama....and my oh my, I did not expect to write this. Like at all. I thought this show was rly dry but NOW I'M OBSESSED(Spoilers only for ep.1)
(Also I'm a drama noob so this isn't speaking so much from experience but more so from an enjoyment factor)
At first, I put this on as background noise whilst focusing on my uni work, and the first episode sure didn't sell me. I barely glanced at it no more than 5 times, until our MC started putting on his face disguise, which I was like Oh, that's pretty neat. But before that, nothing rly interested me. I told my friend who asked that it was boring. LOL HOW WRONG I WAS
I had no idea what was happening but by episode 3 I was definitely not doing my uni work anymore. The two male leads completely got me absorbed and the acting is actually really mesmerising. Ep 1 and 2's CG was pretty subpar and had a few questionable moments but the fighting choreography from Ep 3 and onwards was surprisingly great and well shot, dynamic and just super cool. And it only got better and better, as soon as the show moved onto the two male leads (literally by the end of Ep.2 it's all about them) I was watching 80% netflix and 20% work....and now at Ep. 10 I've completely given up the concept of getting any work done whatsoever whilst I have this on ???? It's brilliant. It's actually brilliant.
And I may have just spoiled myself big time because I decided to go back and properly watch Episode 1 to finally understand the entire premise and plot of the show.... Let's just say my jaw is on the floor right now and I'm writing this review cause goddamn this just took the entire thing to the next level.... Maybe for me it's a bit more on the shock factor since I had no clue of the identity of either male leads for 10 frigging episodes ?? and just after learning one backstory I think I realised who the second male lead is and I really can't cope ??
All in all it's just getting so good and I was so wrong about this show. The first episode is actually good too, it's just that I didn't care enough to pay attention ? Now I know what a dumb move that was. Excited to finish Episode 10 and follow along the growing plot. It has solid world-building and dynamics, sure lots of generic tropes but all in all super interesting and I can say I'm totally hooked ??
Loving the 'eye acting' of the 'second' lead Gong Jun, like the ever so subtle wavering of his eyes conveys volumes and I replayed it a few times. Great eye expressions ? and Zhang ZheHan is a cutie lolol he lowkey looks similar to my ult. bias Mark Lee from NCT haha
The music could defo be worked on, the first ending song is rly ? Not it, but I'm enjoying the main theme/the opening.
DEFINITELY WORTH A REWATCH. In fact I'll be re-watching the entire thing once I finish it ?

Surprising
At the beginning a through that it will be a cringed teen idol drama BUT it’s not. The plot is amazing, and it stick to the reality of what trainees and idols have to endure in their daily life. How hard it is to do that job. We can see the bright side and the dark side of the kpop industry, how they are sometimes dehumanised. They talk about serious topic but it’s still very funny ! I love the character of Hyuk. I heard that it was the first drama for some actors, they did really well !!! I recommend this drama.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
I'd never expect their soundtrack is better than I expected. Costumes and Hairstyles like Princess Wei Young were too elegant. The setting is gosh super 3D ?✌ I'd never push myself writing a long review but this drama deserves it. This one is a matured historical drama.
Waiting for next eps!

The opening scene of the story shows a beautiful landscape and a woman warrior beside a cart that has a casket on it. It seemed that she has killed a lot of people and she's looking for a place she heard that souls can reside before going to the afterlife. For some reason, she's even willing to kill herself to repent for her sins. She then ends up as the proprietor of a hotel for souls. Fast forward into the present time, the main male lead character (Yeo Jin Goo) has grown up and needs to fulfill a bargain that his father made with her. The deal that was made is similar to the story of the beauty and the beast where the father plucked a blooming flower for his daughter. Only this time, it's a dad offering his son's life in servitude to a thousands-year-old woman. Honestly, this story got me interested right away. It's a pretty good ghost story so far. Main female lead (IU) looks convincing as a warrior at the beginning and looks gorgeous in her flowing outfits when she became the boss of Hotel de Luna. I'm looking forward to her beautiful wardrobe changes and see if there will be sparks between the main leads. Male lead Jin Goo looks dashing in a suit and playing his character well. There's also some comedic relief I'd like to see more.
Will update review later on.

I gave it a try but its proven to be...Cliche!
I gave this a try because of Jun Ho!I've seen Youtube Shorts about this and its so romantic and fluffy, which I like!
Unfortunately, the actual episode is lengthy and draggy. Also, just too cliche in many ways.
I really love Junho but can't bear to watch this draggy series, unfortunately.
I'd say, just watch the highlights would do. I must say the highlights are real good, just takes too draggy to gets there.

I liked the styling of this drama that's why I was drawn to the series. There were a couple of great scenes. The tango scene was awesome. Also the dance scene when the power was out. Glitz and glam of the fashion industry. Goes from crisis to crisis. The acting was okay with some of the more powerful actors doing a better job. I did find the plot very confusing trying to figure out what was going on. Too many side stories. I lost my interest. I did skip to the end just to find out. I watched 1 - 15 and the final episode. ¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Firstly, the strength of this show comes from two people in the cast. Kim Heechul and Lee Soogeum. That is it. Everyone else is relatively a non-factor since the dynamic between all individuals has been decided and the structure of how to treat guests or situations are relatively the same. I am not saying that if Kang Ho Dong was replaced by Yoo Jae Suk it would not make a difference because that would surely changed the entire dynamic of the show. However, the comedy and gags and pace of the show is determined by Kim Heechul interactions with guests and Lee Soogeum's comedic timing and ability. Honestly, if you told me they would replace half the members except these two than new gags would come up and new personalities and relationships would be highlighted.
Secondly, this show is build around Kang Ho Dong's personality which is loud, abrasive and often times insensitive. There are many jokes that are said that on any other show would be contraband such as divorce, gambling, alcoholism. This is refreshing in a sense that it makes everyone more human. However, it also means that the show must play on the fact that its the hosts of the "school" versus the guests that come. This can get boring because picking on female idols over and over for the same thing loses its charm after a while. And disregarding guests becomes disrespectful at times. There are moments where the hosts throw away this system and its image, however, that makes the show lose its meaning if done too frequently.
Thirdly, I will say it again, but Kim Heechul is the sole reason this show is where it is. Because giving Heechul an abrasive platform to make whatever jokes he wanted makes this show fresh. Seeing him talk down to SNSD or tell EXO and Shinee and Infinite to get lost are novel. Similarly, flirting with guests is also novel. However, there is a limit to certain things and certain things get repetitive. Making jokes about smoking is funny, but than it becomes serious after a while when you consider he could do it every episode. It would lose meaning. The main thing saving this show is Heechul's vast connections and his ability to talk and play off of them.
Fourthly, most of this show is boring. This is partly due to the hosts not treating the guests well and sometimes blatantly ignoring them. But there is also the fact that the guests are asked to introduce themselves but can't say anything that is "real." I will be honest, who cares about a spot on Jonghyun's body. I don't even care if its Seolhyun's body. Or how Momo feels about this or that. It's just not that interesting. The only interesting parts are when Heechul or someone else is able to relate and make it more interesting. The most boring parts, however, are the skits or other aspects of the show because to be honest they are not funny and do not play onto the strengths of the show which are the abrasive relationships between members and guests.
Overall, the best moments are when relationships are teased and jokes are made. However, this can get boring very quickly. Is it worth watching entire episodes again? Not really. Is it worth rewatching certain clips? Sure, just go to Youtube and you'll find compilations and categorization. Having people show off their talents is what makes things like this memorable. For example, can anyone tell me what Jonghyun and Irene did when they came? How about Davichi? No idea. Cause it is not memorable.
