solace
love the message of 'you are my spring'
this is the healing you can rarely find in dramas. you just have to endure the thriller from the first few episodes... just a little sacrifice is needed to get into the healing.things I love the most about you are my spring,
—the message delivered! having hope, comfort, healing, everything.
—how well-written the script is, the dialogues, the symbolism of very details, it was so perfect, deep, and hard-hitting. I wish I could have digested all the references use from the films and books mentioned because all the connections are making sense. you could def say the writer did a rly great job for that.
— the OSTs are so good. kudos to the sound/ music director for how fitting the ost in every scene. to mention the "Still Wonder" by Ha Hyunsang... is so good, soothing, and healing! a must be added to your ost playlist.
—acting of dongwook and seo hyunjin is immaculate, climbing up to my most favorite pairing! because the chemistry is flowing. simply one smile from them is so heart-fluttering.
—and most importantly how they discuss, tackle the topic of having a trauma. they took the subject carefully and, that's one step to the healing to the process of getting over it. it was written earnestly, not rushed, through the episodes from every process, it was seized most acceptably. super love that!
what a letdown... is that 'you are my spring' should not drag that long to 16 episodes. I would prefer if this is in a shorter length of episode kdrama because it appears like some are fillers to make up the 16 episodes.
anyways and anyhow it was a very good watch!!!!

this is not a watch for everyone...
I am a sci-fic sucker but i don't think this one's magic is not for me... It's not worth the watch. It felt like i just finished it for the need to know what happened to jingyeom and his mother's written prophecy. I end up finishing it even though and, IT STILL LEFT ME TOO MANY QUERIES.Maybe because (probably) the main reason is that the story's concept of time traveling is not established very well. The foundation of the concept is not well-introduced. Also, you can see many flaws in the time-traveling concept. It is very lousy written. Fr! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOWS AND WHO!

smooth ride of body-switching tragedy turn to wonderful love story of yi and sheng
If you are finding a drama that makes you smile all through, squelch, and experience butterflies? The day of becoming you is the perfect drama! I watched tdoby without a burden and did binge-watch it comfortably with on my time...The roller coaster ride of body-switching from a tragedy that became an opening to growing fond of each other is so smooth. With the earnest promising acting skills of Steven Zhang and Liang Jie, they gave justice to the body-swapping concept! Thumbs up! And the chemistry of these two is oozing... they make you want to fall in love aaa. It one of the best pairings I have seen in Chinese dramas! I can guarantee!
I like very process of everything! Watching the first few episodes are promising and, they fancy you to keep on following their love-story journey. The ending was kind of vague yet reasonably and they gave validity when, to quote, "One day in the life, you'd meet someone as if you've switched bodies with. You'll understand them, respect, you'll be fond each other". Proving— the body-switching is such a fantasy, but you can experience it when you find someone who can solely understand and be the other half of you! I dearly love this concept!
With such! IT GAVE ME SO MUCH LAUGHTER!

it is good but...
I expected a lot since I've seen people praising it as the first-ever science space fiction of kfilms but it did not exceed my expectations. yes, it offers great CGI, wonderful shots but the story is not so jaw-dropping. The casts were great, true! they pulled it off but, the story was lacking. And the plot is not well introduced, thinking how complex it was... it occurred to be quite lousy (for me).Some people may really like this, for scific suckers for sure and, I did watch it for that. Nevertheless, it is worth watching and a must to recommend.

Top-Tier Slice of Life/ Coming of Age Drama
What I love about racket boys is how they portray each story and each life substantially. The illustration of everyone's life story is important and meaningfully special. You can pick any plot in an episode and, there is a moral to be learned. The plots are so emotional and hard-hitting, showing support within the family, friends, and the community. The flow of narrations is so smooth that time slipped every time you watched racket boys. The casting was so great, the bond of racket sonyeondan is so wholesome, you can say they are having so much fun, off and on cam. The cinematography is top-tier! Racket boys haven't been done airing yet I can say it is on the top list of a slice of life/coming-of-age drama. yeoksi Shin PD!Was this review helpful to you?
Hard-hitting! Emotional! Relatable!
Hi Bye, Mama! completely made me doubt human nature, from having regrets, greed to forgiveness. the annoying part of the story is that all the characters appear to be nice. they are all written nice that throughout the watch, I don't know who to side with. Which also made me doubt my beliefs and understanding. And also with the point taken, I realized a very good excellent thing on Hi Bye Mama, and it was being the main character of your own life. Love that the drama, characters, are well-written imposing that everyone's story is important.One point is that it tackles a lot of stereotypes... in a very nice and acceptable way. Not all stepmoms are bad and they are also one's mothers as they can also love their children unconditionally, and about underdeveloped kids discriminated, and many more.
Realization hits hard when the title is Hi Bye Mama, knowing throughout the watch that it was supposed to mean with her daughter but in the finale... it was a message for her mother. That is so exceptional and I did not expect that to come. To quote this remarkable dialogue from ms midong.
"A woman who lost her husband is called a widow. A man who lost his wife is called a widower. A kid who lost his parents is called an orphan. But there's no word for a parent who lost their kid. Know why? It's because no word can describe it. There is no word in this world that can describe the excruciating pain" that is so hard-hitting and I remember this dialogue after realizing the other deeper meaning of the title, Hi Bye, Mama!
Overall i would def recommend watching this! as I know everyone can realize, can learn, a thing or two from how thoughtful the script, dialogues, and plots it brings

watched it for the cutest xiaobao
i started unforgettable love without expecting anything and i can say it was worth the time! i had such great laughter and giggling moments. yes! it is a cliche story but still very heart-fluttering chemistry of qin and qiaoyan... halfway through it, I realized i am watching it for the xiaobao moments. You can just resist how cute and adorable this little kid is and it makes you want to continue watching it for his cuteness' sake...Anyways it was a very endearing drama! Must recommend if you want to smile and finding some touches of laughter in life

I regret not watching hot stove league any sooner
All in all, it was sooo good~~~ I watch it with high expectations as it garnered the best tv drama on baeksang but wow hot stove league exceeded my expectations. From the plot, the flow, acting, and the storytelling style, 10/10! I wouldn't ask for more. If I were asked to recommend a drama, this would be on the top of my list. No doubt they won a lot of awards at baeksang; from best tv drama to lead actor, to director, and tv script!I know nothing about baseball but, it does not hinder the comfortable watch. Yes, it is not mainly baseball-centered drama, instead, it was all about the people, business, politics, workplace, power-struggle, building a real team, underdogs climbing to the top drama. Hot stove league is off to the top-tier scripts in the drama world, and it was carried earnestly with the amazing casting and acting on it! It was quite draggy but I'm not complaining about it. Yes, I'm not. Because the flow was so fantastic. The dragging was turned into a very enjoyable watch.
I'm asking myself where I have been because I am missing out a lot about this gem here. I would have enjoyed watching this while it was ongoing... Overall Great Story! Great Acting! Great delivery! One of the Greatest, at least for me~

doom at your service is beyond doubt a fantasy!
what i love the most about doom at your service is that the story flow which started with angst, i-feel-like-it-is-a-sad-ending, forboding all the blues feels and, turned to a happy ending. most dramas are like happy-happy-angst-happy flow, but days is not your typical one. the flow makes it unique in its way!doom at your service is best when you binge-watch, i waited every week and got to admit that it is not the best fantasy drama. along the way, yes i got bored watching it. the first few episodes are so promising and i lost in the second half because of too much push and pull. and got tired of it. some may like this but it is not for me. not my cup of tea.
nevertheless, the casts are so well-cast! they all have the chemistry in every relation. the packaged of ost is chef's kiss. just ailee and gummy alone, switching them back and forth can make the scene the double triple feel of pain. i can say days garnered a spot on top kdrama album ost. MUSIC 10/10
