Love, Sacrifice and Misery

This series was awesome. the plot was excellent , the main leads had chemistry. I hope a season 2 comes out. This should have been a longer series though, it would have been awesome to see more of the pair. The Main leads weren't aware they were betrothed by the emperor when they met and fell in love. So they cancellled the engagement of the unknown fiancee to marry the one they love. Other sacrifices and an unrequited love forced them apart. Ultimately, despite their passion,yearning and love ....their loyalty towards the Yu kingdom kept them apart and in the end they couldnt bare this distance.and misery, which pushed them off the edge through sacrifice, tragicallly.
Quite bittersweet! Really Really Really want a second season .

Passuon, Action and Betryal

This is one of the few short series I throughly enjoyed. I was hooked from the first episode. The Bodyguard-heiress troupe was indeed refreshing. You get story of betrayal by everyone around a vulnerable female lead. Lies and deceit overload by the characters. Each had an agenda and a plan. The plot was well done and the ML was sizzling hot. The passion between the leads was steamy. If you like a troupe with a macho, strong and intellgent ML who can fight to protect then this is your show. I recommend!

Suicide is never glorious

Maybe it is widely accepted in Asian cultures that a solution to end a depressive life is death. The plot was quite controversal where the FL was abused in more ways than one and she had reached her limits. Here comes the ML with empathy and wanted a way out as well. The show was captivating and intense, As a viewer, you can feel every emotion of the actors . Which is something I appreciate with Jdramas. Prepare to be either feel the loss or relief, it is all about how you perceive it. I recommend if you want to take a break from exasperating dramas or repeated boring genres or lousy troupes.

Coffee and Vanilla

One of the few japanese dramas I have throughly enjoyed. the FL was naive and innocent and the ML was a mature CEO hotshot. The love scenes was sizzling and explosive for a jdrama. Give it a try. Although I am 5 years late in watchimg this drama but it did not lose appeal despite the years gone by.

I wish more dramas are made with this maturity instead pf making them into live actions. Granted the plot came from Mangas and Animation; the actors are talented to pull pff good acting without being loud and animated. pardon the pun. So I hope my review reaches ou there to provide some ideas to improve Jdramas

Secret love/Hidden Love troupe

I have great appreciation for the ML in this series. He capturesd the emotions so well and played his character with precision. Fortunately I watched him on "Hidden love" which was also an excellent portrayal. Acting as a high schooler and adult with maturity and character development can be challenging and he was able to do so, effortlessly. Looking forward to more series from him. The story was on par, the ost was pleasant, the FL has a beautiful voice and the supporting actors didnt have me cringing on their jokes. Im new to Chinese series Im glad they are enjoyable.

Magical Kdrama

Sound of magic was an fantsay genre and it was my first Korean fantasy with magic. Brillisnt acting, beautiful songs and the setting was gorgeous. one flaw wsd the profanities in the final episode. Had it been without it, it could have been an all age entertainment. Ji Chan Wook stoke the spotlight.

Kdrama in recent times (2024) has gotten repetitve and some scenes have become extremely annoying and unnecessary. This drama has impressed me like no other. Everything on this show was like a "breath of fresh air" it was intense, mysterious and kept me on the edge of my seat. Superb acting by the main leads. For once I didnt have to mute profanities and cringe at the annoying baby-talk from the FL. We had a mature, confident, ruthless FL and a younger, psycologically mature ML whose pasts were connected and haunted them. Their losses, trauma ,betrayals and relationships with others draw a bond that could not be broken. This show actually comes very close to reality of drinking intoxicants, rape, murder and corruption. It is definitely worthy of a rewatch. Hats off to the writers,producers and directors for a splendid piece of work!

A story that teases, anticipates and creates excitement

The leads have super chemistry, we have a ML who is handsome marksman with intellegence who is also a flirty daredevil .He loves to challenge death. Contrary , we have a petite, vulnerable innocent FL who is very intelligent. The ML brings out her daring nature but shes too shy to take her dares through. The flirtations between these couple is like no other. We begin the show with The ML rescuing the FL in a foreign country, instant sparks flew between them. When their ordeal was over,( a few kisses and near death experiences), the FL demanaded a discount for her rescue, so as payment she teams up with the ML in a few gigs. They shared a few heists and as they draw closer to each other their risks became complex. Go figure! I believe their team spirit broke when the ML found the FL pretense seduction of another man distasteful. So they parted ways , the FL returned to China and the ML promising to look for her when he returns . They lost contact and then found each other after 3 years.

The FL assumes the identity of her twin sister ,who apparantly died from a car accident. Both leads end up working in the same company. The FL initially pretends to not know the ML; however , with his persistence and his unquenchable desire, the FL finally surrender. There were some misundertandings cause the couple to breakup . However the show does answer the questions and unsloved mysteries got resolved. couple gets back together and we get a happy ending.

However there is a hint of a season 2 ,there was a tinge of who contacted the couple in the end.
