You're Beautiful (Korean parent story).~




I ❤ " Fabulous Boys " Worth your time...!!! The only reason that I recommend this, is because I love this peculiar, childish story in all versions! The acting was nice, extravagant, and amateur from time to time. The music and directing were nice. If you want to have a nice time with no worries it's the perfect drama!

# DevilBesideYou

Devil Beside You / Devils Do Exist




~Adaption of the manga 'Akuma de Sourou' by Takanashi Mitsuba.~





I ❤ " Devil Beside You" Worth your time...!!! This drama shows the pain of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to. As well as the cute and goopy moments, the two leads bring on most of the time. In general, the actors were great plus they had one of the most awesome chemistries out there, and let's not forget the great supporting roles.

I had fun while watching this drama even though the story wasn't really good. You could easily predict everything was going to happen, there wasn't any deep plot in it. Most of the time the acting was exaggerated especially from the older roles, it gave me a great laugh. Liked the music, sometimes the directing... I Loved it as a vintage piece!

I ❤ " It Started With A Kiss " Worth your time...!!! After watching it, I believe it surpasses Playful Kiss that was boring for me at times. With 50 episodes between seasons 1 and 2, these characters become so real, you never want to let them go. The storyline really goes into depth with the story and the feelings of the characters, and how they handle certain situations. Is witty, funny, and romantic, and expect a lot more romance in the sequel. There shouldn't be any disappointment by the time you've seen the whole entire drama. The romantic scenes in this drama are very romantic. It's a roller coaster of emotions. I was informed this drama has the closest adaptation of the manga! I loved the acting plus the supporting roles were extremely awesome along with all the side stories. The chemistry was great. The music was nice. Nice directing, editing, but not great photography and setting most of the time.

Be Loved in House: I Do (Taiwanese remake)



I " Just You "

Worth your time...!!!

The story at first may sound cliché, but the way Just You approached them (the story and situations) was very refreshing and interesting. Loved that easy-going plot, with those cute and sweet moments between the main couple. Nice directing, beautiful photography, and sweet acting... Felt like I enter to there marshmallow world!




#TriadPrincess

Triad Princess / Boss Princess


I ❤ " Triad Princess " Worth your time...!!! This needs a 2nd season!! Toooo small soooo good! A nice and easy-going plot, not something extraordinary, characters are very funny especially the female character. A badass, femme fatale who can kick ass and wouldn't go into the damsel-in-distress route once the 'prince' arrived. Love their chemistry, acting, and timing !! Nice directing, editing, and photographs.




#BeforeWeGetMarried

Before We Get Married / We Cannot Be Friends


~Adapted from the Novel

"Before We Get Married"

by the screenwriter, Fang-Yun Tsai, also known by her pen name Ayamei ~





I ❤ " Before We Get Married " Worth your time...!!! This drama really is on the cutting edge for examining the social, emotional, and physical relationships that exists between two adults. The lust becomes respect and love and the enlightenment becomes the basis of the collapse of this couple's plans. The music was so good and set the tone for most scene changes or encounters. Without writing a spoiler - the ending was perfect - more of a reality. Amazing realistic acting from the main couple, and they share over-the-top chemistry. Nice directing, photography, and editing. I admit that this drama is not everyone's cup of tea. You will either love it or hate it. There is no in-between. I loved it!!

Kingdom: Season 2 (Korean sequel)


I ❤ " Lost Romance " Worth your time...!!! The main characters travel between a fictional literary world and a "real world," but more focused on the love line and hilarious references to other works in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Great storyline, music, visuals, and graphics. We have an amazing cast and I was not disappointed by them, either the main or the secondary leads. These ladies and gentlemen are what we call a love story. Nice directing, editing, and acting... You have to see it!!
