This is guaranteed to contain spoilers!
1. Century of Love 🇹🇭 (1/10)
This first episode was hilarious. I had some really good laughs and at the end of the episode I was screaming at my screen "It is only episode one!!!! What is happening?!" And I still ask myself what happend. It was really a blast. It had some funny moments. And I won't ask myself how Tao could calculate all this stuff... I won't do that! Good start!
1. Hidamari ga Kikoeru 🇯🇵 (3/12)
Thank you for some of Taichi's backstory! Just because he is such a happy pill doesn't mean that he doesn't have to deal with shit himself. I love these two. I love this series! The protective Taichi is my favorite. I loved how he put this girl in her place. Kohei isn't some helpless dude who you can live out your helping kink with. I am mad, sorry. I guess she didn't mean any harm, but it was such a harmful point of view. As I said, I loved Taichi's reaction!
2. His Man Season 3 🇰🇷 (6/?)
I love this format! I enjoyed the first two seasons to the max and the third one is something else too. There is so much chaos and I like all the contestants, but I don't know if I ship those two any further. Hwi is already very attached to Seongmin and the latter wants to date the people he has a liking in, ehich is totally fine, but I don't want Hwi to be hurt. But the preview looks devastating! I want next week, please!
3. My Love Mix-Up! 🇹🇭 (5/12)
I see so many posts from people not liking this one and I am sitting here enjoying most of this story. I don't compare it to anything. i just enjoy some awkward fluff and the cringe that comes with it. And I think the casting is quite good. I don't have the strongest feeling for the japanese original. I really enjoyed it and it is a great series, but I think the thai one is entertaining too and the chemistry between those two is still there. BUT! Let them talk a little bit more. They could fill a whole episode just with these two staring at each other. It is a little bit much...
4. My Stand-In 🇹🇭 (11/12)
Okay... We got a cliffhanger. But because there is an episode left, I guess Joe change his decision in the last second and comes back to Ming. I really liked Ming this episode. But I think it is a very rushed redemption arch and his excuses for the abuse were... weak. But I like them together and especially their heart eyes for each other. I still hate Tong and Ming's father...
5. Takara no Vidro 🇯🇵 (1/11)
The first episode didn't really catch me. I don't know what exactly is off for me. Perhaps the reason Taishin moved to Tokyo just to thank the person who helped him get over the loss of his parrot. But I kinda like Takara. He is cold and unapproachable and I like that...
6. The Boyfriend 🇯🇵 (3/10)
Oh. My. God. The way I am obsessing over this one is not normal! I loved everything about this new dating show from Japan. There are so many great moments. You learn people are not that shallow, just give them some time to adjust. I love the contestants. It is such a good mix. And yes, I am rooting for Dai and Shun. I don't think Dai is just a player, I think he has just a very outgoing perosnlaity, which doesn't mean you have to be a player. And I think Shun is such a sweetheart with very high walls and I really hope he can become a little bit more trusting (not just during this period of shooting, but in general. I just want him to heal.). What I wish is a little bit more screen time for the other contestants. Right now it feels a little bit like a two men show, but there are so many more interesting people to get to know! I made a little podcast for my best friend while watching and now she is willing to give it a try 🥰 which means I have to wait to the days both of us have time to watch together because we have very different jobs and different free time 😰 But it is worth to wait to watch it together with her! I can't wait! I am so hyped! I so love this show!
Okay, I started this one and I must say, I like it. The humor is good and not too much like Cooking Crush. I like seeing Off in a more mature role (he can't play those playful, funny characters imo). And Gun's character is such a rolemodel for a lot of people who had/have those internships and didn't/doesn't have an idea what to do with their lifes. I really wasn't sure about starting this, but now I am happy, I did!
7. This love doesn't have long beans 🇹🇭 (1/8)
Favorite scene from this first epsiode. I am still mad that it is geoblocked for my country on iQiyi. But we already know this shit from Pit Babe... The first episode. I can say, this won't be my favorite show, because Plawan is a little bit too goofy for me, but I like the dynamic between the couples. And yes, I can't wait for Benz and Garfield! It was a good start and I had one or two good laughs and seeing the previes, I already know those couples are going to deliver. I just hope the story can keep up with this too.
8. Wandee Goodday 🇹🇭 (10/12)
Hm. I thought this week's episode was episode 11. I was waiting for the heartbreak and was so relieved there was no and then I saw episode 10... oh... But it was a quite good episode. We got some progress on every subject, some felt rushed, some made me emotional, some were very much welcomed! And I still like seeing those two kiss. Please more of that next week and no drama between them! Thank you.
9. Word of Honor 🇨🇳 (20/36)
Those two flirt a lot and are a married couple. Everyone knows that. And I love and enjoy that! Overall this is such a fun watch and the different sects and intrigues are sometimes a little bit confusing, but interesting. I love this world of martial arts and I love how protective Wen Kexing is over Zhou Zishu. I haven't felt like watching this lately. I wasn't in the right mood.
Okay, we got our happy ending. I always say you can have feelings for other people when you are in a relationship. That is normal. And I am totally on Namyi's side when he asked Jaemin to trust him and to talk to him about such things. Keeping it a secret, especially when something happend, is not good. So I am happy both found their happy ending with each other and Jaemin finally allowed himself to be loved by Namyi.
Over all for this second part I give a 7 out of 10.
Looking forward to in July
