Gyeongiroun Somun (2020)
Boring
I don't know what the fuss is all about but this drama is just okay. All the main lead did was to cry cry and cry some more. He was too annoying at points that I wished his character was killed off. Yes work/VFX and acting was good but the story was unnecessary long. It could have been finished in only 8 episodes. They just wasted so many episodes for MC to cry.
MC's powers ups were such a waste and wasn't even explained why that happened except one line from wi-gen.
Honestly I kind of fast forwarded most of the scenes. Too boring for me.
P. S. My rating is entirely based on season 1 as I have not watched watched 2nd season yet.
Jue Dai Shuang Jiao (2020)
Waste of time
It was bearable for few episodes but then it became a drag. I had to fast forward most of the scenes because they were way to boring specially whenever both the female leads showed up...they were so annoying I prayed so many times they died. All Tie xinlan did was cry cry and then cry some more. Hua wuqua never used his head. Other male lead was bit funny then started getting annoying. He was not as smart as he claimed to be. Nantian greatest swordsman couldn't even use his head when he faced 5 ghosts. I had to ignore so many things and until the end I wasn't sure who was paired up with whom. To some up it's not worth the time just fast forward the series and you will still understand the story.
Yes the scenery was beautiful but fight sequences were not up to the mark except the first fight where jiang feng fought.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Not so good
Visuals are as always beautiful. But story line is too boring & sadly both some of the story & the character also ripped off from "The Twelve Kingdoms anime (Kirin)". I am really disappointed.
Chen qing ling (2019)
Story of WangXian
Where do I begin with. Its a beautiful story about Lan Zhan & Wei YIng.
Though I personally liked the book version better even the ending was very well handled in the book because the drama ending felt a bit lonely. Also the story telling was well maintained the flashbacks & current story when in drama it felt a bit overwhelming to force viewers to watch the entire flashback at once. Though it was executed very well & beautifully it still felt a bit much.
The actors were brilliant and portrayed the roles very well. The chemistry between the two leads were amazing. Actor playing Wei Wuxian was cute & charismatic just like its character in the book & actor played Lan Wangji was brilliant with his acting skills (& cant' stress enough but he was super beautiful just how he was mentioned in the book "A fine piece of jade"). All the other actors as well were really amazing & specially who played Jin Guang Yao. He was brilliant.
Though drama changed the story a bit, it was done very well. They left a few open ends for which one needs to read the book. Well choreographed action sequences, and also had few flaws like every time anybody who played the flute I couldn't see them putting any effort into it just pouting except Zhan Xiao(he did it well), felt a bit fake.
The drama definitely worth a watch & I am sure viewers won't be disappointed & I really praise all the actors again, they did a wonderful job with their acting skills. Hope to see more of their good work in future.
And the OST WangXian song was simply superb. Its beyond beautiful. The singers got really beautiful voice.
Definitely going into my re-watch list.
Sanjûsai made dôtei da to mahôtsukai ni nareru rashii (2020)
Magical, emotional, entertaining - Need season 2
Well to be honest I am not fan of rom-com when it comes to J or Kdramas, since they are very cheesy, weird and creepy. I have seen my fair share of BL dramas but and never liked them so much, but this drama is magical, a gem, so precious. The story, cast everything is just perfect. Adachi is absolutely adorable and without doubt Kurosawa's smile is blinding. The chemistry is amazing & the writing is top notch. Its a not to miss drama and I really really wish that they come back with S2.
Eksiteu (2019)
Time pass movie
Nothing special about the movie. Good for time pass. Most of Korean movies/dramas are ruined by bad acting of their female leads. They are usually annoying and can't act at all(Except a few). Too much crying. Overall story is okayish. I still don't get it why they didn't just break the door rather than making actor do all that crazy acting. Do they not have axe or extinguisher kind of thing in their hotels for these kind of situations? I mean its so lame...Too many unrealistic scenes and it was too obvious that all the action scenes were fake due to lack of effort put in to it.
Baegabondeu (2019)
Okay drama
This is my first time reviewing any drama on IMDB. Except the fact that Seung Gi Lee outdid himself and his acting keeps improving with every series, there is nothing special about this drama. It has a cliche story and I don't know why but female Korean actresses can't act at all except a few (like Doona Bae from stranger best series ever). She is like a robot and shows no emotion through out the series. Spoiled the entire Drama for me. Loved the action and 7 rating just for Seung Gi Lee & action.
