The gentleness and fluffiness wins

Ain’t perfect but everyone’s screen presence is worthy of attention. To be honest, it has the standard cringe and overused romantic scenes. However, Ai and Nhai's chemistry is undeniably strong. Given their eye-candy visuals along with their vibrating sexy postures, their combination is just so fun to watch. They bring a curve to my lips.

The circle of friends, their fathers, and some of the supporting characters bring great contributions to support the flow of the main character’s story. I just hope that they showcase more time to carry out the other featured couples. How I wish I could see more of Nine’s blossoming romance with the singer suitor of his. There are too many things left untold in the ending but I am fine with how things end already.

Needless to say, the drama is inconsistent in maintaining the distinct flow of the story. But the important thing is, it isn’t as bad compared to some. The groovy soundtracks from this show are so great that they added more color to the story. In general, it just needs a little flourishing and a unique set-up of things. But as I said, the tenderness of the characters made me drive myself to the end.

Might be an eye-opening to Koreans

The bravery to produce a homosexual dating show is deserving of applause. Like many other countries, South Korea isn’t too open about same-sex relationships. Knowing this, it honestly makes me feel happy that the entertainment industry steps up to introduce gay people to the public without making it a source of profitable desire. Or maybe I’m wrong, but I am just delighted that they decided to be the first show that features real gays finding love-partner in life.

Combining eight men in one house isn’t an easy task. The number is already great since it is hard to invite a member of the LGBT+ to be a member of the show that will be seen by the general public. Yes, eight is a small number for an individual to find his true love out of billions of people on the planet. But at least, the show helps them to possibly connect to someone who may be their destined loved ones or something.

The 30-second phone call to your crush was the cutest. It was an adorable way of telling someone that you like them. In contrast, the episode that made me cry was when all of them played around together, forming a circle, then began sharing their coming-out stories along with the painful memories that they got to experience after coming out.

Throughout the show, I feel elated that everyone executes efforts in showcasing their charms and presenting themselves with perseverance. Out of the 8 men, I have two guys who move my heart with their sincere characteristics. The first one is the introverted and dainty Chan Kyu who unfortunately feels like the side character of the show. He was rejected by different people a couple of times but tends to accept it with respect and smiles. The same scenario with my second favorite man, Eun Chan. He is straightforward and candid, demonstrating honesty and approaching someone you like compassionately. Both of them might have failed to find their match at the end of the show but they manage to win and create an impact on a viewer like me.

Congratulations to the two couples who luckily find their date in the show with a hope of a fulfilling and longing relationship. Together with the four lovely men who sadly didn’t go home with a date but more importantly, they all ended up happy and with a positive vision of their future. His Man is a feel-good dating show that is a must-watch for everybody. I’m ending this review with Chan Kyu’s last statement in the finale episode, “I’m tired of witnessing other people’s love.” hehe wishing for all of us to feel love and be loved soon. Fighting!!

Leads are guilty of having an unexciting basis of romance, your honor

A revenge-vengeance drama that revolves around the law and legal processes. Subjectively, it may end up having a weak overall impact among other law-based dramas, still, it is clear that they successfully wrap the whole concept in sixteen episodes with a satisfying ending. The star of the show is a well-known lawyer who was portrayed by Seo Hyun Jin, a real gem in the industry. Once again, she gives birth to another memorable character with her intense acting skills and consistently holding a firm grip as Oh Soo Jae. Frankly, the show started in a frail manner but managed to survive during its last few episodes. These episodes lifted the excitement and tension between the protagonist's side and the antagonist team.

However, let me direct your attention to the disappointing chemistry between the leads. Firstly, I am beyond proud to witness Hwang In Youp’s growth with his first lead role in Korean Drama. Regardless of how much of a fan I am, I can’t help but disenchant his character as Gong Chan. It is not as remarkable the way I anticipated it to be. I plead to disappointment that the number one downfall of the show is the romance itself. It broke the blistering atmosphere that the plots had given from time to time. They have poor chemistry in which one looks too mature and the other seems childish in the way he keeps on pestering the other one with his direct and pushy personality. It was uncomfortable to watch a student who crosses the line to pursue his professor. Despite this, there’s a single moment wherein I curled a smile after hearing this line, “My heart is worth 70 million dollars.” It was drunkenly spoken with innocence and cuteness.

I also want to praise the villainous characterization of Heo Joon Ho. This man suited this kind of challenging role but it’s somehow funny that he always had an intelligent son who would betray him later on for the story to progress. I’m speaking with his on-screen children, Yoon Na Moo from Come and Hug Me, and Choi Yoon Sang from this drama. Speaking of which, I grasp my forehead for the second’s lead dissatisfactory ending with almost no closure at all. He immediately vanished after lending help to expose the devil's deeds that his father and brother committed. He contributes almost nothing to the story, but Nam Choon Poong already holds this title. The way they ended up the story may be up for a second season, if and only if the producers and staff behind this decision to have another one.

Nevertheless, I, therefore, conclude that Why Her established a fine trademark in K-Drama for offering Oh Soo Jae, T-K Law Firm, and some of the things that left memories to the audience. It was still a good series because it made me feel irritated and upbeat for its twists, the same way that other legal-based dramas gave me.

A love story that are just as sweet as newly cooked pancakes despite their age and gender

This is a short yet amusing ride of witnessing mature men engrossed in deep romance. The establishment of the protagonists’ life accomplishments, in the beginning, was such sensing subject to tell. Some people are content enough with their daily life cycle between eating, sleeping, and working. Adds the idea that even when a person gets old, it is still hard for some to know what they truly wanted to achieve in life. These kinds of topics are rarely included in the BL shows nowadays, which mostly revolve around the adolescence stage. Realistically good!

The story is giving me a new version of butterflies. The anti-aging activities that the main characters decided to try are the cutest. Their sweet food dates and playing pretend as teenagers along with their girls' talk are the fluffiest. Togawa works hard to accomplish his flirtatious efforts to invite his one-sided crush on an indirect date. His punchlines, jealousy over the harem lunch and mix-up, the jerk off-topic, and implying that exercising to build stamina is suitable for sex; all of these are just hilariously applaudable.

Mr. Nozue’s innocence despite him being in his late 30s is adorable. The misinterpreted no email reply due to his unfamiliarity with switching from a keypad to a smartphone was a memorable scene. At long last, maybe he decided to change his phone so that he can also document both their sweet dines by means of video recording both the food and Togawa.

The moment they finally finished testing each other’s water and began breaking the ice in a forceful way was a difficult scene to portray but both actors played the climax naturally and perfectly. I love the tension and emotion that runs throughout their facial expressions, gestures, and voice intonation. Specifically, Togawa cried so hard in this scene that he unintentionally split out the nasal liquid in his runny nose.

My only desire is that they should offer another intimate kiss at the finale, after becoming boyfriends for real. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the whole 5 episodes successfully manage to bring a certain amount of enjoyment and value to the viewers. Along with the soothing and captivating OST. I want more and hopefully, they will give us another season because it was worth it to spend time binge-watching.

A reality

A calm yet tremendously heartbreaking movie that talks about escaping the world full of homophobic individuals to finding a certain place that someone will welcome you despite your gender identity. A small family that showcases that love and acceptance can make one person's life happy. Very realistic approach to tackle a life of a gay man who suffers from the harsh feedbacks of those people who's only good on commenting about other people's life. This drama is an impact; from the tragedy of the nanny, the breakup of the couple, to Seol being lost, and the ongoing life of the rest of them from the farm are such a ride.

Indulge this masterpiece - read the novel and manhua, re/watch the animation and live adaptation

I already enjoyed the 50 episode no-cut version of The Untamed even before watching it without reading the novel first. I was so addicted to the story and romance of Wei Ying and Lan Zhan that urged me to start reading the Mo Dao Zu Shi novel. YES! The original flow of story from the novel was the thing that I needed the most, a true definition of masterpiece. Censorship ruins the romance yet the crew behind the live adaptation was awesome and I can still feel that they obviously made the main characters romance showy despite the China’s government forbidding film makers to explicit homosexual love stories.

After finishing the novel version, every scene keeps getting more and more understandable. Yet, some scenes disappoints me because it was different and some major scenes weren’t included but I clearly accepted it since they’re trying to limit the flow of the story because of the censorship. The actors were perfectly casted and played their role naturally. I visualized their faces when reading the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation -official english translation of the novel.

This special edition is the great show to binge-watch when rewatching The Untamed. Since the 50 long episodes were narrowed to 20 episodes that mainly focus on Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian’s story. Their roller coaster journey was so lovely. This is the best historical-fantasy story I’ve ever seen! No one can beat how majestic it is.

The audio, OSTs, background music and all other execution of musical plays was once again a perfect score. I listen to The Untamed playlist every now and then, this makes me feel like I also belonged to their cultivation world. The costumes, props, design, and venue of events was accurately carried out. The Computer Graphics and editing of their cultivation powers was fine as well.

To put it simple, everything about The Untamed was perfectly done. If you want to know more about the story, I recommend you to read the novel version since you can see how different it is from other versions of the story.

Let’s all live like Lan Zhan and Wei Ying, existing with a purpose. Always be kind since kindness is the root of human nature, treat others how they treat you, keep your loved ones by your side, and the most important thing is as we live, don’t forget to live your life being true to yourself as long as it makes you happy and secure.

Thank you to everyone who makes the characters come alive.

The butterflies in my stomach are happily dancing as well

Among the several short Korean BLs that I’ve watched, this one definitely stood as one of the top. I am amazed to see a concept of a debtor and collector that can be turned into such romantic storytelling. In the span of eight mini-episodes, I am totally satisfied and enjoyed it a lot.

The red thread of fate, their home, the feeling of being alone, the podcast, and the things that connect them have executed cleverly. These elements make the drama emphasize that little things can be someone’s big part of life. Both of them are used to being alone but didn’t admit feeling lonely not until they hit them one day. I just wished that the story may also look why Mr. Loan Shark didn’t finish college. Although, the show gives us a hint regarding him used to play piano in the past.

The big reason why I am head over heels from this drama is simply because of how fascinating the main leads are; both in their visual physique and their excellent acting performances. Choo Young Woo playing the role of the debtor Song Shi On has explicit the quality of being a fully prepared actor. His dancing skill was really great and helps the show to be uplifted since the title itself talks about dancing. He was also cute in expressing his facial gestures when having a moment with his love partner.

On the other hand, I fell in love with Won Hyun Hoong’s role as Jin Hong Seok -the handsome debt collector. He is so sexy! The way he acts as a cold and stiff guy is so manly but it will make you scream every single time you see him smiling and being fluffy. His face totally wins it but becomes more excitingly attractive the moment he showcases his physical build, I lose it and Oh My Goodness! In short, he captured my heart.

Both of them have a strong chemistry that made them such a perfect couple. I don’t feel any kind of cringe moments or awkwardness from their romantic scenes, unlike how I usually feel from some Korean BLs. The characteristics of the role they portray really fits like it was their own. Indeed, an ultimate act from two gorgeous boys.

And yes, they’re kissed several times! Probably beat some on-screen kisses from various famous Korean shows in history hahaha. I am exaggerating this because THEY ARE REALLY GREAT. Those intimate, arousing, inviting, gratifying, and full of hotness kissing scenes. The bed scene they did was short but intense, I repeated it several times. Till now, I keep replaying it from my mind hahahaha.

My only regret from watching this show is me deciding to watch it too late. I hated myself for ignoring it before but am still grateful that I managed to binge-watch the whole episodes in one sitting. You Make Me Dance is the short Korean BL that makes me feel well-pleased for a show once again.

Highly Recommended for someone who is looking for a light yet meaningful romantic love story.

The leads overcome the main in showcasing real chemistry and nice kind of story

I was scrolling on social media one day and then some scenes from this shows pop up. Speaking as someone who loves Asian series, I really trust Chinese drama for creating a cute and fluffy school teenage romance. The story begins with an ongoing clash of PE students and those who excel in academics from two side of the campus, it wasn’t something new for me but I’m fine with it. Some scenes are a total cringe however I realized that they were all high school students who tends to do cheesy stuffs from time to time.

The setting and story isn’t bad but I don’t really feel the chemistry of the main lead. Yes, Li He is hot but his character is a little bit off for me. I find him sexist who has a toxic masculinity, obviously I don’t like it. Despite being the main character, he is my least favorite among the boys. Same with his gang, at first it was amusing to see them supporting each other but nearing the finale, they became so rude and annoying. Yun Ziang is the only one with better attitude in the gang. The amount of loyalty they have for their chief is quite fine but if only the script helps add an astonishing introduction to the rest of the group, it will be better.

Ning Zeyu and Ye Jing Xi is a better choice than Li He but then again, you can’t push yourself to fell in love to someone you know for years and labeling them as a friend only without any sign of romantic affection. Jing Xi saves the show. I was actually feeling bored watching the current characters but when a childhood celebrity classmate showed up, my mood become more interested on what will going to happen next. His screen time make me so happy, an eye candy cast with a great story to add and spice up the viewers’ enjoyment from watching. On the other hand, Zeyu is a relatable character, living his high school life with a strict mother. I also come to the point that I became rebellious against my parents because there are so strict with my time schedule. Furthermore, I love how their friendship grows and those scenes from Jing Xi’s house was so fun and heartwarming.

There some certain scenes that supposed to be romantic but ended being a moment of laughter for me. It was during Yuan Cai Xi and Jing Xi moment. The sudden occurrence of unrealistic additional set up –the bubbles floating in the air, was really something I can’t help but to make fun with. The same with the lights at amphitheater during Jing Xi’s confession. How come that the lights are directly facing to one another when the two of them are the only one around? Not unless Jing Xi told his manager to do this kind of stuff for his proposal.

Last negative feedback for me: I would like to say that Monitor is really a nosy one too.

Anyways, 7 is the best possible rating I can give to this drama. If only the main couples’ chemistry captivated my heart, it will be a more than good high school sweet-heart drama. Interesting storyline, good acting from the leads and average acting from the supporting cast.

Just okay for a mini-series

I do like the show but doesn't really that impactful. I decided to watch this when I saw the curly guy and the girl with eyeglasses scene on Facebook. Their story is actually my favorite among the rest of the characters.

The story is all about falling for someone, I am smiling the way each one of them were introduce in the show.

Having a crush on someone can be either gives you butterflies or gives you a heartbreak. I love how they showcase realistic highschool romantic ideas

But...

I don't get the connection of it's title from the main story. What kind of anniversary are they celebrating? I read the sypnosis but doesn't really find it at the drama. Also, the story seems to be all over the place. It was a little bit messy.

Anyways, this will actually going to be more than good if they lengthen the duration and give more clearer ending to each character. Specially to the curly guy and eyeglasses girl, I want to see more of them.

I dreamed. I chased. I failed. I continued. I achieved.

This is probably one of the best sport drama I’ve ever watched so far. I like how realistic and stressful Xu Tan’s journey on becoming a Ping Pong champion. He is indeed a good role model for those who also encountering difficulties on achieving their ambitions. Watching this inspired me to keep on pursuing my dreams despite of the hardships I will be facing of and it also allows me to be more ambitious as ever.

When I was on high school, I used to be a referee on Ping Pong during our school’s intramurals. That is why, I already had a little information on how to play it but after watching the show, I was too amazed on how serious and hard it is to play the game. This also made me so interested on the Olympics game which doesn’t really pull my interest back then. China is really a powerhouse competitor in the Table Tennis world.

Professional Ping Pong players’ journey is way more difficult as what normal people imagined it to be. There’s only one champion every game and the rest unfortunately loses. The saddest part of the drama is when someone gives up or bid farewell to Ping Pong who they played for several years. I cried a lot for every featured player on the drama who can’t make it towards their dream. It’s painful to surrender halfway on your journey. But then again, life is life, we win and we lose, we have no choice but to keep living and surviving in the world.

Xu Tan and Yu Ke Nan were both the main character here but I found YKN attitude more promising than XT. As an ordinary human, YKN personality is really hard to deal with however I admired his firm grip on his dream and not allowing anyone to ruin it, he is arrogant yet determined to make his dream a reality. On the other hand, XT is a warm hearted man and I like it but whenever he took the blame for something that he really didn’t do and just to save his friends, I was too annoyed to watch it. We can also see that XT’s personality changed a lot after kicking out from the national team and transferring in a university, he then became too selfish and self-centered which I kind of understand where it coming from but as a viewer I find it so hard to accept the sudden change of his behavior. Anyways, I am so happy at the end, XT became a champion and every character in the story has given the proper closure to the story.

At first I thought the romance will bother me but actually it is a pretty good addition to the story. However, XT’s university girlfriend is so cringe to watch, she pushes her acting to be a cute girl but it failed. I like Lei Lei more than her but it was a good decision too that XT feelings is only a one sided love.

It was a long phase of episodes but worthy to watch. Sometimes I feel bored but it was actually a fun and inspiring drama to watch. The music is soooo good! The transitions of scenes and ping pong battles are very excellent too. In terms of acting, they all did their best and it was a fine acting.

One word to describe the show: INSPIRING

Season 1 is much more better

As a fan of the first season of Girl from Nowhere, I am disappointed that I didn’t feel the same feelings I felt on the previous season while watching this second season. Adding Yuri as a rival of Nanno isn’t a wise choice to begin with. Its ruin the fun of the series and I just wish that they simply stick with Nanno being the only one who keeps transferring school and bringing justice and karma in her own way. I think that they rushed producing the show because the first season were became hit, popular and in demand to the viewers. Pushing another episode is fine but I just hope that it still executed the same level of creative stories from the first one.

I can’t help but to compare the two season. In which, this season is way more too weak than the prior season. My say on every episode:

EP01 (Pregnant) – A good start yet the story is so typical. But I still like the message of the episode, reversing card for those male who loves to fuck then avoid responsibilities if unexpected pregnancy happens.

EP02 (True Love) – A “just okay” episode. Breaking one’s traditional believes is something that close minded people should do. The world is evolving and as days passed by, believes also changed. As long as it is ethical, it is acceptable.

EP03 (Minnie and the Four Bodies) – Boring and messy episode. Watching this episode annoys me, obviously in a negative way. I like the acting but the transition of the story is so confusing.

EP04 (Yuri) – Another good episode. This is when the background of Yuri being introduced. My favorite part for this episode is the devilish attitude conveyed by both victim and suspect.

EP05 (SOTUS) – My favorite episode. This should be the standard level of GFNW concept, bold and artistic. I also disliked implementing traditional way of disciplining students mind and body be means of an organization. In my experience, during my junior high school days, I obliged to enter the CAT (some sort of training similar with the army but only demonstrate in an appropriate way for students) which I trained for being an incoming officer. It was so painful and tired full both mentally and physically. Only since graduation I realized that it is just a total waste of my energy plus I really hate the time that our senior (upper level students) gives us an unreasonable bunch of punishments just to satisfy themselves. Anyways, this is the only episode I enjoyed watching among the rest of them.

EP06 (Liberation) – Weird. I know that the drama is all about weirdness but this episode is so weird in a way that I feel so irritated with its unrealistic story even though the whole concept is irrational at all. Yuri is so annoying here hahaha good thing Nanno proves how to handle the situation in her own cleverness way. I also laughed in the story portraying a school who murdered their own students and making them imprison in a dark room for days hahaha. Anyways, I don’t get the grey part ending? Do they unable to return to their original color because they’re so used on living in a grey world or what?

EP07 (JennyX) – Nothing extraordinary again. Common story and plot plus Nanno seems to be getting boring and boring each scenes.

EP08 (The Judgement) – Very expected episode. I saw the same kind of story in a popular western movie. Maybe they get the idea in it but still it doesn’t amaze me at all. For me, this episode is just bland. The ending seems to point out that they still processed another season in which another girl was infected by Nanno’s blood.

Overall, cinematography and consistency of Kitty being Nanno is the factors I liked the most in this season. Stories and the adding of characters in the concept is not effective for me. Still, I do enjoy the whole show from time to time but I do expect more thrill and excitement.

Good storyline but at some point failed to execute

MaxTul is one of the icon of early BL's so I'm anticipating this series since the announcement. MOD gives a new and fresh Thai BL genre which talks about crime.

Likes in the drama:
• A fine drama portrayal of the negative side of politics or those who have the power to commit sins.
• Brave storytelling, it was dark and controversial
• Tackles real life issues
• Inspector M rules the show. He's fit and tight uniform serves the meal hahaha he's the hottest here. Plus he's good on acting so I was really captivated by his presence. Great Sapol did his job very well.
• Tat and Sorawat is the cutest! I do smile a lot watching their scenes together, it was so lovely
• The last ep also gives us Inspector M and Dr. Oat surprised chemistry. Hey, but we want more.
• Such a beautiful scenery in the ending

Dislikes in the drama: (Although I give this a 8/10 rating, I am still hesitant if this really a good rating for them cause the drama has too many flaws)
• Tul acting isn't really that convincing
• Romance from the main couple didn't actually work.
• Predictable plot, I guess it is not deserving to be called as a plot. I, as a viewer loosens the excitement everytime I predicted the next scenes in the story. I've seen a lot of it from other dramas.
• Since EP1, I already know that Rung is the one who killed Jane. Maybe because I have a good instinct or maybe there's only a limited character presented in the story.
• It went downhill after the earlier episodes
• Most gun related scenes are too unrealistic, how come they always survived it
• I often feel bored

If only they can manage to pull off the intense-action scenes with no plot hole and unconvincing scenarios, maybe my ratings will be higher than this. But overall it was a good drama.

Started up bad but ended up good.

For someone who watched the original version, I can't help myself but to compare. But in this review, I'm going to limit the comparison and mainly focus in this Korean version.

First of all, as a fan of Kim Yohan since PDX101, I'm so happy that finally he made his acting debut. But tbh, his acting is kinda stiff and confusing. I understand that it is his first acting but the viewers need more than that. Poor acting really affects the whole show.
Same with So Juyeon. I love her so much in Dr. Romantic but his role here is cringe and look like she's forcing to be cute and clumsy which didn't really work.
Yep Hoe Hyun's acting on the other hand, is commendable. He's cute and sexy at the same time. Wu Busong and Woo Dae Sung, you both match and did your role perfectly.
Then we have Jung Jin Hwan. Unlike the C-version, I don't find him cute, adorable, and funny. I'm not really happy but still he did well too.
The good thing about this remake is how they change the episode of Kang Ha Young not falsely admitting that she is the one who gives the medicine to her depressed classmate. In the Chinese version, I was really annoyed by that scene.

The first part of the story (during their highschool days) is pretty boring and plain. The only reason I keep watching is to finish what I started. Thankfully, the moment they enter University, the story is getting good and I'm glad to see that progress.

The music really fits the concept, I like it more than the remake of the drama itself.

Overall, I give this a rating of 7.5 over 10. If only they manage to be consistent from the very start, maybe I can give them a higher rating points than this. I'm sorry Yohan but I'm just trying to be objective and hopefully on your next drama project, I can see your improvement. A Love So Beautiful Korean Remake is cute and sweet but not really memorable.

Unrealistic story but bearable to watch

Among the airing Thai BL drama this year, Gen Y is probably much okay than the rest. It is not really that perfect but it's good enough. 8/10

The drama has it's pros and cons, I guess I'm riding on a roller coaster ride cause one episode make me feel good but another episode bored me then vice versa.

PROS of the show:
- KimCop chemistry is one of a kind! In the first place the reason why I watch Gen Y is probably because of the two of them. I can't get enough of their cuteness, I love them both.
- Kit, Mark, Jack, and Koh are my favorite character in the show. I need to see more Jack-Koh moment! Is it JackKoh or KohJack? Who will be the top? Hahahahha. These two is the cutest I love their dog and cat relationship.
- No homophobic person was feautured. One thing I love about the show is that the couples didn't encounter someone who hates them cause their gay. They're all living in the fantasy that some people wish to be real. As you can see in the drama, too many students fall in love with some of the characters, specially Wayu. Mark even freely vlog about the suitors of his best friend.
- I don't know if this one is a pros or cons. It is not a Thai BL drama without an endorsement screentime every episodes. Hi Viva Plus!

For the CONS:
- If only they didn't push the supernatural concept, things will be a little bit great. The story is kinda confusing after they inserted the destiny something. It doesn't really fit the flow of the past few episodes.
- Zero-feels for Wayu and Thanu romance. As in, I skip most of their scenes. I didn't feel a thing, it was nothing but plain conversation of two person.
- Too many characters that eventually turns MarkKit looking like a side couple instead of the main couple. The last two episodes feauture different stories but as the main character, they should inserted MarkKit story more.


I hope the season 2 will be greater than this but overall I like the drama.

If only they can present more

tvN is the home of fantasy-genre dramas. I was really hooked in the beginning because I am a fan of this type of story.

There are times that I got bored over the main couple. I'm disappointed how the series mainly focus on the romance story of the two which is pathetic in my part because at some point, I just wish that Ji-ah just let herself be killed so that she can save many lives. I really hate how Lee Yeon let Imoogi kill hundreds of innocent people for the sake of his true love. Imagine people are dying and you have a responsibility into it but you choose to be selfish and protect the one you love. Yes, I know that a gumiho can only love once their life but I feel sad for the death of the people cause by the villain. Sometimes, I can't even feel the chemistry between Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah. I feel like they can be a good brother and sister in a drama or even best friends. But as a couple, I guess 60-40 ratio.

Another flaw is that they can create more story about the mythical creatures they presented in the story because the watchers left with a lot of questions. Me, for example, I always search in the internet on who is this creatures tackled in an episode and what he/she do? But some of them already answered in the story but I just need more.

I love the ending! The ending is what an ending looks like. Letting them sacrifice Lee Rang is a good choice to let the viewers cry in sadness. I love the character development of Lee Rang and how he able to freed from his own misery.

Overall, I have mixed emotions on Tale of Nine Tailed. I love their acting and production. I was only looking for more story to be told and written in this but it's still a good drama.
