Love by Chance

Love By Chance (Thai) - Ae & Pete, Tin & Can   I never remember how I come across some of these shows but I am happy I found this one. I practically fell in love with it from the beginning. I liked watching Ae and Pete's relationship develop because Ae is a very caring guy to his friends and those who feel they are weak and Pete is a very trusting guy. I liked that Ae would always protect Pete whenever he was bullied by the guy Pete liked. And I also liked that Ae would get upset when Pete was hurt either physically or emotionally. I did enjoy watching them, but they started to take a back seat around the sixth episode when Tin and Can started to make more appearances. Now, Tin and Can, I have no words for them because their relationship was very complicated. At least, it was in my opinion. And I enjoyed watching how their relationship developed, even from the very moment they started getting into fights whether it was physically or verbally. When they first tal...

HIStory 2: Crossing the Line

HIStory 2: Crossing the Line (Taiwanese) - Zi Xuan & Yu Hao I really liked this show. Even though it only had several episodes. I like how Zi Xuan and Yu Hao's relationship developed through the episodes. It started as being disrepectful (on Yu Hao's part) and distant (on Zi Xuan's part) to full of nothing of respect and love. I liked that, at the beginning, Zi Xuan's friend kept annoying Yu Hao by trying to get him to join the volleyball team. And it ended with Yu Hao's teacher threatening his grade if he did not join. I also liked that he was so confident about stopping Zi Xuan's serves so he would not have to join the practice at all but ended up failing. I wanted to tell Yu Hao after that to never be confident about something in sports you have never played because you are most likely going to fail. It was nice to see him treat Zi Xuan differently after that, especially when he found out Zi Xuan had an injury that caused him to stop...

Ashes of Love

Ashes of Love (Chinese) - Xu Feng & Jin Mi I truly cannot tell you how I came across this show. I only know that I ended up finding it and thinking that I needed to check it out. Either way, I loved it. Just like other shows, I found my emotions to be a variety. There were times where I laughed, was angry, cried... Even though I found the relationship between Xu Feng and Jin Mi to be depressing at times, I did enjoy watching them at times fight for one another. I found it angering that there were multiple people who were framing Xu Feng for killing Jin Mi's father just so that the two of them would not end up together. Also that she had believed everything she heard and saw from them that it pushed her to kill him. I am glad that she coughed up the Unfeeling Pill so that she ended up realizing that she wrongly accused him thus leading her to try and make everything right again. I am glad that they finally got together, even if it took many years for them to get...

Full House

Full House (Thai) - Mike & Aom Am This show had me experience so many emotions. Sometimes multiple in one episode. I loved watching the relationship between Mike and Aom Am develop. Their relationship was so complex towards the end that I can't imagine how they were able to pull through without wanting to die. I did find some things funny like her accidentally seeing him naked, or when she was making up a story to him about his friend, Guy, in order for her to get back to Thailand. I found it beautiful when he would look at her in certain moments and by the look on his face, you could tell he was a man deeply in love. I think the one I liked the most was when they were sitting on a bench in Korea. He was sitting with his face propped on his hand and just looking at her, probably thinking about how much he was in love with her. I could not stop smiling at how beautiful that scene was. I admit that there were a few times I did cry. The first was when she asked ...

Kiss Me

Kiss Me (Thai) - TenTen & Taliw I enjoyed watching this show like I have enjoyed watching many others. Kiss Me is the Thai version of Itazurana Kiss . Some of the elements are the same such as Taliw and her dad live with TenTen and his family, and he wants to become a doctor while she wants to be a nurse. Aspects of it that I did not care for were that the two of them knew each other when they were kids, their parents knew how they felt for one another, Taliw accepting King's proposal, and one of Taliw's friends becoming a nurse. I do not have a problem with the creators doing things their own way, I just did not care for them changing things. One of the things they changed that I did find funny though was when TenTen had to tutor Taliw. When he first went to her room, she was wearing a dress. When she got up and turned towards him, he stood there in shock at how beautiful she looked. I found it funny because he was in complete shock, and it did take a ...

SOTUS

SOTUS (Thai) - Kongpob & Arthit I know that I always say this about every show I watch, but: This. Was. An. Awesome. Show! I would even go as far as saying it was even better than both seasons of Together With Me . I really enjoyed watching the dynamics in Kongpob and Arthit's relationship. I like that Arthit was cruel on the outside while being a softy on the inside. When he first showed up in front of the freshmen and started yelling at them, I thought that he was a guy you did not want to get on his bad side. I guess you can say that he made me scared. I do love that he also slowly warmed up to the freshmen, even looking after them. Of course, if one of them got hurt or something, he would be in serious trouble. There was even a time where he was relieved of his duty as head hazer for a short period of time because of the way he taught. I also liked that he was not willing to show weakness or defeat when he was told by a senior to run fifty-four laps around ...

Addicted

Addicted (Chinese) - Luo Yin & Gu Hai This was good and funny. But it also did have its sad moments. I enjoyed when Luo Yin and Gu Hai would always play tricks on one another. One example was when Gu Hai made cuts in Luo Yin's school jacket and another was when Luo Yin had sewn Gu Hai's jacket shut during gym class so that he could not get his head and arms through the openings. It was this back and forth between them for several episodes and I did enjoy each trick. It was also funny when Gu Hai stole one of Luo Yin's pieces of homework. Gu Hai had strange handwriting and when he saw Luo Yin's “perfect” handwriting on a piece, he took it so that he could practice. It was adorable when Gu Hai would buy stuff Luo Yin needed in the beginning. He bought him underwear, toilet paper, and even food because Luo Yin is poor so he only had very few pieces of clothing or did not eat. It is funny that, even though they are fighting, Gu Hai is still taking c...

HIStory: Stay Away From Me

Image
HIStory: Stay Away From Me (Taiwanese) - Cheng Qing & Feng He Right away, this was funny. It is funny that the first time they see each other consists of Cheng Qing and Feng He running away from crazed fans. I also wanted to beat Feng He because he was taking advantage of Cheng Qing by making him do this or that. Including putting all of his belongings away! You are the new tenant! It is your stuff! It is your dirty dishes! Do it yourself! And Meng Meng, right off the bat, has the craziest imagination when it came to Cheng Qing and Feng He. She is a fan of boy-love. The moment she found out they are now living together, her mind went to all possible places. Besides thinking, she writes fanfics about them, even follows them, taking photos of them walking side-by-side down the street. I think the first time Cheng Qing and Feng He felt something for each other is when Feng He pulled Cheng Qing back from being hit by a bicyclist. You can see it in their face...

HIStory: Obsessed

Image
HIStory: Obsessed (Taiwanese) - Yi Chen & Jing Teng I liked that this show was short on both time and episodes. Of course, that is what web dramas usually are comprised of: short run time and a small number of episodes. What happened in the beginning between Yi Chen and Jing Teng was sad before Yi Chen was killed and reborn to nine years before. The sad look on Jing Teng's face after he said he was marrying Yi Jun was telling. At least it was to me. Everything Jing Teng said or did when saying that showed he does not want to get married. It was also sad that Yi Chen did everything he could to stay away from Jing Teng after being reborn. Of course it is understandable because if you are given a second chance to change something from your past, especially if it leads to your untimely death, you would do everything you could to stop yourself from dying a second time. It was funny that the notations Yi Chen had made of Jing Teng blew away while he was...

Together With Me/Bad Romance

Image
Together With Me (Thai) - Korn & Knock I quite enjoyed this show. I am not usually one for Thai dramas (usually Korean or Taiwanese), but I could not pass this one up. I do not remember what made me decide to watch it but I knew I had to after watching a video of some sort. I liked watching the ups and downs of Korn and Knock's relationship since that is what all relationships go through whether the relationship is gay/lesbian or straight. I loved that they did end up together in the end. A happy ending always makes me happy. Now, with Knock's girlfriend, I wanted to beat the crap out of her at the end. In the first episode or two with her, I felt bad for her because she had no idea what was going on. But once I started to see her conniving self, I immediately wanted to beat her. Instead of sitting down and talking to him, she found ways to keep him by her side, even if it physically or emotionally hurt him. And I liked how Korn was honest with K...

Ice Fantasy/Ice Fantasy Destiny

Image
Ice Fantasy (Chinese) - Yan Da & Ying Kong Shi/Sword Spirit Shi/Li Tian Jin   I do not know where to start with this drama. I did like it but it was kind of long. It may have seemed like it because there was basically one story line with several components and not several stories. It may actually not be one story line but everything that happened revolved around Ka Suo, Kong Shi's brother. Even the second season was like that. The only difference was that it was much shorter with about a fifth of what the first had. Anyway...   I did watch the first several episodes in full but then I started skipping just to watch what was happening between Yan Da and Kong Shi. Their story was sad but beautiful. Now, I hate Romeo and Juliet with a passion but if I had to compare Yan Da and Kong Shi to someone, it would be Romeo and Juliet . I did like how they were. Yan Da was supposed to be this heartless, tempered princess from the Fire Tribe but she actually ...
