Chang Xiang Si (2023)
Absolutely Amazing
I loved this Drama! I will watch anything Yang Zi stars in. She is incredible and never fails to deliver an amazing performance. I love her, She killed it in Lost you forever! She's funny, charming, sweet and Bold! She always invokes so much emotion in me. I loved her role here, she starts off impersonating a young man in a village just trying to live an honest and easy life. Trouble always finds and she was meant for so much more! I devoured this Drama in 2 and a half days! I loved is so hard! How can you not love it! There are 4 male leads and ofc I loved the RED FLAG the hardest! He's my Roman Empire! Xiang Liu is played by Tan JianCi, I've never seen him before but i fell so hard! He's mean and a pain in the a22! But you know what he's always there for her and their relationship was everything! Gah! I need that season 2 immediately! Our first male lead is her long lost cousin/brother CangXuan, i had mixed feelings about him from the start! He's gorgeous and made something of himself in his ambition to get the crown. I believe deep down he has such a deep love for XiaoYao, but he keeps it hidden to get to the top and protect her. I love that through it all he backs her, and her decisions. I really didn't care for ShiQi/Jing. To be honest, he got on my nerves from the first time he let let our girl down. I should've know he was gonna be full of issues from then on. He really disappointed me and it killed me even more how much XiaoYao held on to him. CangXuan should've handled that from the beginning. I honestly don't really count FengLong. Lol he gives major golden retriever energy and he's adorable but just didn't rank high on my list, I would take him over Tushuan though. I loved the episodes of FengLong and XiaoYao bounding, when XinYue said "you turned your crush into a buddy" i died! They had such great fun together. Now as for my Love, Xiang Liu. He keep me on the edge of my seat! He was so temperamental and he gave me whiplash. But you could always see his sincerity in his devotion. I think the only one who never saw was XiaoYao. He really keeps everything close to the heart and has major issues sharing. He's a little bit psycho but i think he tried so hard for XiaoYao. The ending left you in such a good place. You want more and know there is so much to come, and things are finally happening. I'll just be here fantasizing over XiangLiu and thinking of these characters and what's to come!
Once Upon a Small Town (2022)
A must watch!
How Adorable! I really enjoyed watching this! It was a all new cast for me and their chemistry was so cute!! I'll have to go see what else they star in. This is a lighthearted, funny romance with absolutely no angst or over the top drama, It was really rather refreshing. Sometimes it's nice to watch something without going through an emotional rollercoaster. This drama gives all the butterflies of a sweet first love. I couldn't get enough of the main couple, they were so awkward and then once they decided to confess their feeling all the akwardness melted away and they became something so beautiful. I definitely recommend this sweet little bit-sized romance, it will make you remember or give you butterflies!
Love to Hate You (2023)
SOOOOO GOOD!
I Devoured this series in one sitting! I just couldn't get enough, I was up till 6am finishing it! Love to hate you was just sooo good! It's a short series with only 10 episodes. The cast is new to me except the secondary couple. The Cast makes you instantly fall in Love with them! This was a refreshing feel good drama, full of cute and quirky with lots of laughs and many swoon worthy, squealing moments! It's been hard to find something as good and addictive as Business Proposal and I have to say Netflix really hit the nail on the head with this one! Also I feel like the vibe was the perfect blend of mature yet still fresh. A more settled atmosphere, with the male leads being 40 in this drama and our female leads being independent and strong. There was little to no drama and I feel like that really made it enjoyable.
Geunyang Saranghaneun Sai (2017)
An Emotional Rollercoaster
What the Heck! I'm sitting here in the dark sobbing my axx off! I went into this drama completely unaware of anything about it. I heard it was a good show about how all the characters are connected with their past and their present. And I recognized the lead female and was like okay, let's do it.... When I get ahold of the girl that recommended this show to me..... MANNNN This show put me through it! I was not prepared to be this invested into it, I was looking for a filler, something different and calm,, No. THE TEARS IVE CRIED!!!!!! But it was so dang good! This Story is heartbreaking and it will absolutely have you in a chokehold. This male lead makes you feel, he did such a wonderful job with his character. This was my first time watching a drama with him, He's not your typical male lead. This guy works his azz off and tries so hard to keep everything together and to look out for everyone dear to him. He is grouchy, with a heart of gold, I was hook line and sinker for him. My heart absolutely broke for him and everything he has had to endure, but through it all he never broke or gave up. Our Female lead was another beautifully written character, you got to see inside the brokenness of the aftermath from the tragedy. You feel her pain and her family's, all the families. Gosh the emotional is so raw and real. The Love ties are all so well played out and you can't help but root for each relationship. The only reason I didn't give this a 10 was because I just kinda felt like we needed more the ending with the tragedy was quickly over shadowed with Kang-Do and kinda just wrapped up too nicely. I was so busy feeling the grief and then the relief of the ending that once it ended I realized it was done too quickly and easily. I highly recommend it! But definitely be ready with the tissue!
Wo xi huan ni (2020)
Absolutely Loved it! Adorable!
I Loved this!! It was absolutely adorable. It was like falling into one of my favorite books! So stinking cute at every turn. These two main leads had chemistry in droves! I couldn't get enough. I mean every time the camera captures them, you can just feel the heat! This is an age gap romance one of my all time fav tropes. And it think it was done so well. The angst and drama that comes with a younger girl and an older man, it was all there, the mother drama was vicious and of course there's got to be some unrequited love on both sides just to keep us on our toes! I highly recommend! I genuinely loved it!
Peng (2021)
Adorably bite sized!
Peng was a perfect fix for girls night! It's very short and sweet. The episodes are only 20 minutes long and there's only 10. I loved it I really wished it could have been longer maybe 30minute eps with 16 total episodes. The cast was great the the storyline was also great. I loved the characters dynamic, they really meshed well. The girls friends group was everything, The guys becoming friends was also everything. It was so freaking adorable and funny. It keeps you interested, and has just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked but not bogged down. It was lighthearted and fun. I really recommend it!
Dalui Yeonin - Bobogyungsim Ryeo (2016)
An Unforgettable Drama
This drama absolutely Broke me. I feel Like I will NEVER recover from this show. I Loved it, I Hated it, It Hurt, It completely Broke me But the Love was EVERYTHING. I binge watched this entire show of 20eps in one go. It left me a crying sobbing mess. I cried an ocean of tears. Let me say I went into this Drama knowing absolutely nothing . I wish I would have known beforehand that it wasn't an HEA (by MY Standards), Because then maybe I could have better prepared my heart for all this damage. ( My Drama BFF recommended it to me and ohhhhhh man I should charge her for emotional damage lol) I give it a 9/10 That cliffhanger ending just wasn't fair, I definitely needed more. This ending absolutely destroyed me and I will never be over it or forgive them for doing us this dirty. This Drama pulled so many emotions from me. And for a show to really have such a huge impact on your emotions, to bring out all these feelings an have you so immersed, it's a 10. The Love was pure and unconditional, The relationships were unlike anything I've ever come across. (these bonds were just so special) you really feel the friendship and the love that each of the princes had with HaeSoo, it was very remarkable. The Drama... The Drama was overwhelming and unmatched! The anguish left me broken beyond repair. Y'all this seriously broke me! I was not okay for days. Initially it was a show that gave me a "I can't say that I hated it but I can't say that I loved it" because it seriously put me through a $hit show of emotions. I had the biggest hangover/hangarround from this show, I couldn't get into anything for a bit. It was unforgettable, this show and these characters are just so memorable, and their love will leave a lasting impression on your heart. It's definitely a MUST watch. I highly recommend it. It's a top drama for me with a HUGE Emotional damage warning.
Mai Neim (2021)
SOOOOOO GOOOOD
Ahhh! I'm still screaming! I had been putting this show off because from the trailer and the synopsis the main character's dad dies and when this show came out I had lost my dad recently so I didn't know if I was ready for it. I finally started the show and was instantly so immersed in her story and finding the truth! Gahhhhhh! I was so addicted! I absolutely love this actress, Han So Hee, She did a phenomenal job with this character. She really grew and showed the lengths she was willing to go to, to find the truth. I don't want to give any spoilers but this is one of those shows that keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing and all I can say it I'm still screaming. This show made me feel a type of way so many mixed emotions. Also the ending threw out a curve ball that I never expected and I was absolutely devastated! This was such a great action packed drama. I'm so sad it was so short.
Remarriage & Desires (2022)
Addictive
Omg this show was phenomenal! Gah! I knew from the trailer it was going to be good but damn it was Amazing! From the first episode I was hooked I binged it all in one sitting, didn't get anything I was supposed to do done today... but I have no raggggrets! 🤣 it was so addictive and full of twists! You immediately feel for the female lead and want her to get everything! This drama puts the Din Drama! The woman are fierce and no one wants to lose! Gahhhhh, I swear I offed that skannnnk like 311 times on my mind and she was like a cockroach that just wouldn't die!!!! The acting was fantastic! You really get into the show, and hang on for the next big boom. The men, gahhhhh our main lead is quickly becoming one of my new favorites, he's incredibly handsome in a mysterious way, he's sexy without trying to be. Gahhhh he had me daydreaming. And our second lead like coke on seriously, what a man! He's gorgeous and truly cares for our main girl, only has eyes for her and puts her before anything and anyone. He easily Stole my heart, I swoooned wayyy too many times! He was the definition of a Good Man! He is definitely making the list of kdrama boyfriends! I loved the ending, and come on 8 episodes was wayy too short I needed more!
Bleach: Burîchu (2018)
Awesome
I loved this movie! It jumps right into the main characters live and his story, it keeps you interested and engaged. There were funny parts and though the character growth was fast paced because this was a movie it was well done. The hollow (bad spirits) were so well detailed and a combination of interesting and scary. I really enjoyed it and was sad it ended so soon. I know absolutely nothing about the anime Bleach, so this definitely makes me want to dive into it. I highly recommend for action movie night!
Sarangeui bulsachak (2019)
An Incredible Love Story
Crash Landing on You is a Love Story that just stays with you! I was putting off watching this and now I just feel so stupid. This was such an incredible drama! It's so emotional and full of the feels. You really feel the love between Captain Ri and Seri. Their bond is so special and so Beautiful. I will warn you now "you are going to cry" Gah, I cried so hard for these characters. I truly fell in love with everyone. The friend ships and the bonds that were created through Seri's accident and her struggle to get back were unlike any other. The family drama was so frustrating, and heartbreaking. This was a very intense drama. It has it's insanely cute and funny moments and the sweetness will make you swoon. I now understand why everyone recommended it. It's truly a love story that proves just how far love can reach.
Why Women Love (2022)
A MUST WATCH, HILARIOUS, FEEL GOOD ROMANCE
OMG!!!!! Why Women Love was EVERYTHING!!!!! It's been so long since I thoroughly enjoyed a drama this much! It was the perfect fix, just what I was needing. It's to die for. Laugh out loud funny! I had so much second hand embarrassment, my face was permanently red! The situations the characters get into are hilarious. This show was such low angst, there are still some love rivals but you soon find out these encounters are more funny than threatening to our main leads. This was my first time with these leads and I'm hooked! Our Female lead was beautiful, smart, and very independent, she was a total boss! Loved her energy and how bad at love she was, it was refreshing. Our Male Lead was EVERYTHING!!! I'm seriously simping over him! I'm in Love, I have a new crush!!!! He was the Perfect Man! SO Swoon-worthy! It was so nice to see a young guy head over heels for a woman in such a healthy way. He really showed just how much he respected our FL and how he supported her, He had all the means of someone who could have easily been a "player or a villain" but his nature and his character was really something to brag about. Gahh. Him. This male lead is really setting the standards high! I highly recommend this drama. It was a very much a FEEL GOOD ROMANCE! You will be rooting for Jaxian with every episode!
Xiang Mi Chen Chen Jin Ru Shuang (2018)
Absolutely Phenomenal! A Love for Eternity!
I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do with my life now. I stumbled upon this show and before I new it I'm 3 episodes in and completely hooked! This series is based on a xianxia novel, it falls under fantasy and romance. The book is written by Dian Xian called Heavy Sweetness, ash like frost. I have not read the novel because they don't have an English version yet, but I do hear that there are some slight differences from the novel but all in all the TV series was even better than the book. I came across the series and fell in love! It is in mandarin, but it has English subtitles so that was how I watched and interpreted it. And I couldn't have loved it more! It's Everything! Jinmi is so wonderfully naive and innocent, she is the embodiment of happiness. She flits around unknowingly causing chaos and stealing hearts! I loved her so much! There were so many laugh-out-loud moments, this storyline is absolutely epic! It's so intriguing and you just get swept away in the story trying to find out the past and what the future will hold. I loved Xufeng, He was handsome and captivating. He is arrogant and softhearted, you fall head over heels for him and the way he treats his little demon/grape fairy jinmi. I shipped them from the get go but I was not ready for the everything they were about to put me through! Man, they are absolutely brutal on the heart! Their love is unlike anything I have ever read or seen yet! It's oh so worth it! I loved the Matchmaker and Mr. Hu, they were absolutely ridiculous and perfect in every way! Puchi/YanYou was another favorite of mine! He was so charming and mischievous, such a trouble maker with a heart of gold! And last but not least Fish Fairy/Runyu, he broke me. I love him and want to string him up! He made my heart hurt and exhausted me! This series put me through the wringer! These characters steal a piece of your heart! They each are going through their trials and fighting for what they love and believe and it's so addictive! All I did for 4 day was binge this show! And it was Fantastic! I'm left so overwhelmed and full of so many emotions. I'm buying this series the book and show because I need to have this readily available to rebinge. If your thinking about watching it, do it! You will not be disappointed! I now have it extremely bad for these characters and left glaring at my husband asking him just what lengths he go through for me! SIGHHHHHHHHHH! Deng Lun is my new Celebrity Crush!
