T-Drama Review: Breeze By The Sea

Hey guys, it has been a super long time since I last watched a Taiwanese drama and I really enjoyed watching this 2024 drama called 'Breeze by the Sea' starring Chen Bolin, Puff Kuo, Charles Lin and Cecelia Choi. When I first came across this drama, I was interested to watch it as it is directed by Peter Ho, who is a famous actor and director, and it also stars veteran actors such as Chen Bolin and Puff Kuo. This drama is about a famous movie star, Bai Yin Mo (portrayed by Chen Bolin), who is cold and rude, who got into a scandal, and decides to visit a small village 'Kinmen', to get used to the place before starring in a reality show in order to redeem his public image. At the village, Yin Mo meets Li Hai Nuo (portrayed by Puff Kuo), the granddaughter and host of a B&B. Unlike Yin Mo, Hai Nuo is very cheerful and liked by everone at the village. Although Yin Mo was disliked by the villagers when he first arrived, they slowly warmed up to him after getting to know t...

C-Drama Review: Meet Yourself

Happy New Year 2025! 💫 Hey guys, so I came across this C-drama, "Meet Yourself" starring Liu Yi Fei and Li Xian last year and I really enjoyed watching this series. I have not watched many C-dramas to date but this drama is definitely one of my all-time favourite C-drama that I would highly recommend if you enjoy watching meaningful and healing slice-of-life, romance genre dramas!

Hey guys! It's been a while since I found a K-drama that I enjoyed watching and I decided to share a review! Family by Choice   is a 16-episodes JTBC drama starring Hwang In Yeop, Jung Chae Yeon and Bae Hyeong Sung!

Currently Watching K-Dramas: December 2024

Hey guys, it's almost the end of the year and I'm super excited with the latest line up of K-dramas this winter! For this post, I would like to share a list of dramas that I am currently watching and my thoughts on them so far! 1. Love your Enemy  사랑은외나무다리에서   Love your Enemy is a 12-episodes Disney+ drama starring Joo Ji Hoon and Jung Yu Mi. This story is about two individuals with the same name, Seok Ji Woo (portrayed by Joo Ji Hoon) and Yoon Ji Woo (portrayed by Jung Yu Mi), who were born on the same day to two families who have been arch enemy for generations and how they meet again 18 years later after briefly dating each other in high school.  Thoughts on the drama so far... These two chaotic duos are hillarious and it has been really fun watching them bicker and argue with each other! I've been a fan of Joo Ji Hoon since his Princess Hours days and both Joo Ji Hoon and Jung Yu Mi are amazing actors! It is definitely refreshing to watch how they reunite again 18 yea...

J-Drama Review: Kimi ga Kokoro wo Kuretakara (The Gift of Your Heart)

  Hey guys, so I just recently finished watching another Japanese drama, Kimi ga Kokoro wo Kuretakara (The Gift of Your Heart) starring Mei Nagano and Yuki Yamada, and it was suprisingly really good! I have been a fan of Mei Nagano since I first watched her in a Japanese Movie called "You Shine in the Moonlight Lit", and I had to check out this drama when I found out that she was the female lead!  This story is about Aihara Ame (portrayed by Mei Nagano), who is someone who doesn't have much confidence in herself due to her traumatic childhood and she does not like how her name, Ame, which means rain, feels gloomy just like how her life is. It wasn't until one day when she met Asano Taiyo (portrayed by Yuki Yamada), who attends the same high school as her, that her life began to be filled with joy and happiness. Taiyo's family owns a fireworks company in Nagasaki and his dream is to become a pyrotechnician and to succeed his family business, which is a promise he m...
