Best saeguk this year
So I finally got to watch the last two episodes and man what a ride. It's been so long since I enjoyed a historical so much, needless to say the acting was top notch and the directing was great as well. This is one of the rare extremely good drama that come once in a while, its only flaw is chungha and the unwanted romance for the cp and cps. I just wish it was a little bit longer I diffenetly think this is more of a 20 episode drama at least. 9 out of 10. Could have been 10 if not for that minor annoyance. Ps queen dwager is such a slap worthy annoying character, however I really admire how intelligent/cunning she is.Was this review helpful to you?
Underrated masterpiece !!!
I just finished this and let me tell you, what a masterpiece !! Seo hyun jin is my far one of the best actresses out there !! From start to finish this drama has kept me on the edge of my seat , it wasnt predictable , kept me very intrigued all the time . lets talk about that first episode, what a range of emotions i just love how our fl is such a grey charachter cold and ruthless yes but in a matter of fact way, she isnt unnecessarily mean but not kind either , she will do anything to reach her goals . later on we came to discover why she had to become a tough cookie and her tragic past . once again s koreas very corrupted system is showcased and how utterly sexist it is still. Some moments are simply infuriating however it isnt a depressing hopeless drama since our fl is basically a genius badass woman that knows who she is dealing with and has all the dirt on the big bosses to keep herself safe . i have read a lot of criticism about gong chan , he is not a bad actor , in fact i did enjoy his appearences in the earlier episodes however at the later,heavier episodes he just wasnt able to sustain the good performance especially compared to a huge veteran like seo jin hence why he felt quite underwheling at the end same with the romance which opposite to most people here i think they had good chemistry and their relationship was adorable which why it worked in the beginning for me but the tone of the later episodes just didnt need heavy romance in it . i have to mention the villains as well what a great acting performance by vereran actor heo joon ho , he perfected the piece of poop actor role , such a charismatic character i have to admit that his eye wrinkles distracted me a bit but his acting made me forget about this. Overall i give this drama an 8.9 i put it on hold for so long afraid that it would not meet my expectations but it surpassed it. Glad i finally did come around to watch this masterpiece !!Was this review helpful to you?
Best Chinese drama 2022
An emotional youth sport drama with romance between intern assistant coach and her very first trainee. I went into this drama expecting nothing and was pleasently surprised by how layered this drama is. Wang is such a phenomenal actor her tears made me sob, his anger frustration and disappointment and his happiness have all been contagious. I loved the sport aspect and the wholesome romance ofc it's not a cdrama if the male lead is not a rich heir so expect that as well ? I also loved the side characters, normally I don't but in this i found them amusing especially the other coach and his delinquent trainee had me rolling and how he cried when he won like awwww. Definitely a hidden Gem!!Was this review helpful to you?
A classic
A story about an alien and a a list actress, she is quirky, funny and absolutely crazy. He is cold, introverted and over her antics. One of my favorite scenes are her offering him her shoes after thinking he has a shoe fetish or that he wants to wear them. Fl use of English is funny af "soooorry, excuse me" . For me this drama balanced ligh heated comedy, romance and angst because in the last episodes I cried my eyes out. Also the historical part were so good and the connection between past and present was well done.Was this review helpful to you?
Corny and super over the top
Lets start with just how ridiculous is this. So many good law dramas like why her and attorney woo that also had some comedy in it and worked good since the cast is young and cheerful. However since most of the cast especially ml is mature it came off as cringy and I was like what 40+ yr old behaves that way. I don't know what's up with the FLs in all his dramas if his female costars where a type filler with edgy moments and much younger than him. And here is a bit of an unpopular opinion he just really can't act, the way he smug smiles is just off putting. Let's talk about the legal aspect of it, honestly nothing that we haven't seen before and even in a better way. Overall it's a 5 in rating, but since I got particularly annoyed with the leads I give it a 1Was this review helpful to you?
Worth the wait
Man I have been waiting for this forever. And the start of this drama didn't disappoint! Yang Hua a quirky meek introvert genius who is too lazy to work hard, yangmi a hardworking female lawyersthat needed to be married so she would not face glass celieing aka women not progressing at work for their marital status, she picks yang Hua photos and says that he is her husband, all that he doesn't, thinking that they would never meet each other, this lie went for 2 years until fate made them encounter and thus begins their pickering and a possible contract marriage. 10/,10 it has been so long since I loved a drama this much
