Love it, love it, love it. Was in a bit of a kdrama slump. Just happened upon this. Didnt know what to expect, starts off as one thing than changes, all the cast were great, no f/ f on any of them, due to lack of interest, which is rare these days. No Clinches. The leads were so good, never seen either before, ML was so lovely, quiet with a lovely smile, FL was good as well. Fatty from Him and Her played a very good part, hope to see more of him in other series. Good storyline not seen before, slow (but lovely) burn. Also only 12 eps. Treat yourselves and have a watch

Summer Strike

First couple of episodes, I was ready to drop it, thank god I didnt, loved, loved loved this series. The two main leads are a joy to watch, never seen him before, but will certainly look now, he was just so good. The rest of the cast were just amazing. Maybe a bit long, could have lost a few episodes, (like most Korean series) (I actually started watching the Chinese version first, not finished it yet! It is be bit lighter, and they get together sooner, must go back to it to compare.) I was sad to see one of the cast members had passed, what a shame and waste of a talent. Five star all the way

Clean with Passion for Now

Watched it as I had seen ML in Love is Sweet, the “ bad” guy, but wanted him to be a winner, loved him. It is worth a watch, bit too much cooking in it, for me, a visual cookbook, but I am not sitting for a chefs exam, they must have put on 10 kg making it, I felt I did. It started off soooo well, then lagged abit in the middle and the ending was a bit lacking and rushed, and didnt live up to the first few episodes. The FL was inconsistent in her character, I felt. Also he wolfed the food down like someone was going to snatch it from him!! Cats?! In the office, with food, health and Safety would have a field day.

Dine with Love

Maybe renamed “ Admit a slow yawn of love”. A slow burn,yes, but slow motion! The ML did a lot of gazing, I thought I should have had telepathic skills to understand what he was thinking, she was ok, a bit young, another gazer. He did a good job of looking lovingly at her, her not so much. Felt like they shoehorned a few screens in like their first night, it was a flash back to his birthday I think, and you could see he wanted to get his leg over quite early on, well he is a grown man. Her parents were done and dusted once he started winning, ohh how fickle, although sister had problems but swept under the carpet. The second lead, was very handsome, but what happened to his story, maybe I missed it as I think I had given up the will to live by then. They were jumping on planes to China and back to Finland (??) like they were buses, he had no money (syndrome) but taxies, meals, hotels, drinks, no problem, when did she put her hand in her “ ski” jacket!! Also another shoe horn, “ her devoted fans” only saw them once!! Also how many naps did she need, she wasn't working the coal face!! Over long, over rated, also I do hate Snow!! Which doesnt help

Cutest couple ever, ever, Didnt know who ML was, till saw that he was in My Sunshine, as the younger self of ML, loved him in that. He is such a great actor, and the FL complimented him, for a change she didnt have the “ baby voice and mannerism” that a lot of the Chinese dramas have, in fact she was an intelligent adult. Their relationship was funny and lovely with them making faces at each other, and being just loving towards each other. The rest of the cast were good ( except her best friends who just got on your nerves with her constant “ self” although she got better by the end)Loved the “ bad boy” even rooted for him at one stage. Story zipped along, and did not stay on one plot line too long. This is in my top 10, will recommend it, sit back and enjoy the ride

This is a hard one!! The actors are brilliant hence the three stars, the lead female is one of the best actor around at the moment I think, but where do you start, 16 eps, of their boring day to day lives, ambiguous ending, unresolved problems, too much chat from some of the characters and not enough from the two leads, which made them somewhat confusing and hard to understand them. Trying to be too arty farty as we say, llook at how clever we are at naval gazing, and if you dont get it, thats cause your not high brow enough”.Plodded through it hoping for better things, which didnt happen. I dont think it is worth the viewers time, shame with such a worthy cast.

A slow burn all usual clinches boxes ticked. Both leads are cute, and good actors, she was a bit childish, again another old chestnut, could have missed a few eps out. Sorry to say that a wedding in Germany is not like that! Witnesses, paperwork?!Also English speaking girl, was just terrible like in many of these dramas, its like they were working in the catering truck and the director asked if they wouldnt mind doing a few lines! Didnt care about the other couple, why do we always have to have one!! Easy watching

About is love season 1 and 2 Yes I plodded through both, Chinese dramas are not as sophisticated as Korean but they are giving it a go. Both FL and ML “ actors” not very good, picked more for looks than ability I think, the other actors are very good in comparison. Season one FL very childish, why is this old chestnut pulled out the hat every time, he is supposed to be a CEO, but is attracted to her, really!!. Also he is just a terrible bully and manipulates her but she forgives him and he says he wont do it again,then he does. This is in both seasons, she never learns. Whatever!! They breakup get back together, move in and out of houses so many times, I thought it was a removals ad!! I gave up on that, along with the plot “whatever,” its disjointed and seasons dont match. The plot, Who cares who painted what!! No much art going on in season 2. He is supposed to run a company that he never goes to, I dont think he could run a bath, she supposed to be an art student but never goes to school, or draws!! Then shes’s an assistant, then a top executive, yes thats how it works!! He looks even stranger in Season two, and lost any believability he had in season one. Supposed to be adults, but no real affection between them, havnt seen each other for months, or years, lets just look into each others eyes, and when he goes to kiss her you think he was going to hit her with an iron bar, and she is so taken aback!!get your act together Chinese drama , reality check please. Not worth the bothered, loads of better series out there!!

Starts off very strong, and follows the usual format , although losses a bit of spark in a few eps. The two leads are very likeable, the ML is especially good, understated and thoughtful, which made this drama a cut above the rest. Wicked parents tick, love triangle tick, more than one suitor for the FL tick, hospital tick. What I thought let it down was the second couple, she was so whiney, with permanent sad facd, I actually just fast forwarded over their parts, and wished for a change that he would just dump her, and give us all a break!! The other two outstanding actors was the “ famous singer cousin” so cute, although could have dropped the fangirl, and the Secretary, overall worth the watch
