The drama was short, but it entertained me.
There isn't much to analyze about this drama, everything happened correctly and well-done. The CGI of the parasites was just good, nothing spectacular. The performances were good though, however, I found the acting of the actors as parasites to show that they have no emotional and facial expression quite hammy.In my view, it was a closed ending, but with a hint for possible continuation. To be honest, if there is a continuation, I will watch it; if not, that's fine too.
The drama was too short in my opinion.

the MFL has no expression
I think I don't like mini format dramas. it's very difficult to dive in if the momentum is cut all the time. but this story is still cute and it can be interesting to watch a mini drama if you have no much time to spend on a regular one.this being said, the most annoying thing about this drama is the face of the MFL, who is just cold and composed all the time. even when she is supposed to be upset, in love, afraid or crying, her expressions are just so odd and cold... maybe too much botox? she seems too preoccupied to be beautiful to let the emotions change her face. that's a big loss for a romance's drama.

Worth It
Loved it. From Acting to OST loved everything.Goblin is lonely, depressed, blunt, ill-tempered. Loved Gong Yoo as Goblin. Nobody would've done it better than him. His acting was phenomenal.
Ji Eun Tak is a bubbly, straightforward, strong, positive person. Despite her past, she turns out to be a happy-going girl, which is rare, because in most cases, girls who are bullied by their family always turn out to be a crybaby or timid. Kim Go Eun's acting was awesome. She played a bubby, fun-loving girl very easily.
Grim Reaper is competitive, funny, poor at communication. I thought he would be a serious, no-nonsense kind of GR because most are like that, but his personality is totally opposite. Lee Dong Wook played Grim Riper mind-blowingly.
Sunny is cool, sarcastic, beautiful, blunt. Liked Yoo In Na as Sunny.
My favorites CP is hands down Goblin & Grim Reaper. Loved their bromance, silly fights.
Things I liked :
Goblin & Grim Reaper first meet & the way Goblin said a vulgar hat to Grim Reaper.
Laughed when Yoo Deok Hwa said that Goblin isn’t that dashing.
Love Goblin & Grim Reaper silly fight, their back & forth arguments.
Goblin & Ji Eun Tak chemistry, the way she talks to him & straightforwardly asks if he is Goblin & she also wants to marry him.
I laughed so much at the scene where the Grim Reaper was going to sleep & suddenly Goblin barged into his room to ask if the outfit was better. Because he wanted to look smart & perfect when Ji Eun Tak summoned him. He keeps on cat walking, disturbing him. Goblin changing Grim Reaper bedsheet into a flower print one.
Grim Reaper sings Goblin’s underwear song to make him irritated. Their table fight, throwing stuff at each other.
Loved the shot where Goblin & Grim Reaper both walked to save Ji Eun Tak & the song playing in the background.
Goblin & Grim Reaper were talking telepathically & Goblin yelled at him to shut up, but Ji Eun Tak thought he yelled at her. Poor Goblin tried hard to explain to her.
Goblin was jealous because Ji Eun Tak called Grim Reaper handsome & him ordinary.
It is funny to watch Goblin doing magic to two strangers, a girl's hair tied with a man’s button, then she falls into his arms, things we see in K & C dramas.
Ji Eun Tak bluntly saying 'I Love You' to Goblin & proposing to have children quickly.
It’s funny when everyone in the restaurant, even Grim Reaper & Yoo Deok Hwa watches that drama with a lot of interest & Goblin being totally annoyed.
I laughed so hard when Goblin's expression changed after he realized whom he was with last night.
Grim Reaper expression when he starts seeing Sunny everywhere
It’s sweet when ghosts help Ji Eun Tak with bullies.
Goblin & Grim Reaper for the first time using a phone.
Goblin is anticipating what Ji Eun Tak will do next & is happy because he is right.
Love how, in between their argument, Goblin declares himself as Ji Eun Tak's boyfriend.
Loved the emotional talk between Goblin & Ji Eun Tak Ep 6..
Laughed when both Ji Eun Tak & Grim Reaper say 'I Love You' to Goblin so that he doesn’t take their stuff back.
It’s hilarious the way Goblin reacted in the movie theater after warning Ji Eun Tak not to embarrass him.
Goblin getting jealous is so cute.
I laughed my ass off when Ji Eun Tak friend thought Grim Reaper was her father.
Sweet moment Goblin sleeping on the floor & Ji Eun Tak keeping him company.
Loved scenery where Goblin back hug Ji Eun Tak. The background wasn’t anything awestrucking but the sky & sun shining on them. I loved the shot
Sweet & cute when Grim Reaper started to laugh wholeheartedly when Sunny started to sing.
Ji Eun Tak calls Goblin her man & he repeated it. Poor Grim Reaper hearing everything.
I find Grim Reaper & Sunny cute. Now I can't wait to watch Touch Your Heart.
Goblin way of starting conversations with white egg & egg yolk.
The Samshin Lady helps Ji Eun Tak every way possible.
That brother-sister reunion between Kim Shin & Kim Sun.
Goblin acts as a protective brother.
Love how Ji Eun Tak was jealous of herself.
I find Park Joong Hun's character irritating.
I thought Ji Eun Tak would see the thing on Goblin at the end of the drama. In the end, they'll be confirmed that she is his bride, but it's good that she can see it within a few episodes. The ending Goblin & Park Joong Hun was fated. She was supposed to die but was saved by him. Became his bride to fulfill her destiny, to bring peace to his life. But he chose her over everything & fought his way back to her.
Loved it. Lovedddddddddddddd the OST. Best OST. After Till the End of the Moon OST I finally found another OST which I'll be listening to on loop.

The Show I Needed to See
This was the show I really needed to watch for all the wrong reasons. I am so tired of show after show allowing villains to get a slap on the hand or buy their way out of prison time after destroying other people's lives. But not this show. For once, pretty much all the bad guys get exactly what they deserve and even a few bad girls too. It was immensely satisfying to watch a little vigilante justice being dispense when the police were completely inept.The casting was great, acting was good the story is a little weak but not too draggy so I highly recommend it for anybody who yearns for a long tall glass of justice.

Great start, 2nd half a bit disappointing
PLOT: FL, a struggling extra-actress, agrees to marry her best friend, a gay painter, to hide his homosexuality from his family, and possibly inherit his grandfather's company. But the future groom's brother, ML, fighting with his half-brother and sister, does everything to prevent this marriage.PROS:
+ Brilliant leads, particularly Moon Sang Min, the ML, for whom I expect a promising career. (FL meh...)
+ The production is lively, dynamic.
+ The story is coherent, but full of clichés.
+ The short format (12 episodes) does not allow any downtime.
+ K-pop OSTs are enjoyable.
CONS:
- I had difficulty adhering to the character of the FL, not always very coherent, and I am not very convinced of Jeon Jong Seo's acting skills.
- The characters of "perfectly idiotic good friends", recurring in dramas, annoy me deeply.
=> a good drama, which Moon Sang Min carries on his shoulders!
**************************************************
PLOT : La FL, figurante-actrice en galère, accepte de se marier avec son meilleur ami, peintre gay, pour cacher son homosexualité à sa famille, et éventuellement hériter de la Cie de son gd-père. Mais le frère du futur marié, le ML, en lutte avec ses demi-frère et sœur, fait tout pour empêcher ce mariage.
PROS:
+ Des leads brillants, particulièrement Moon Sang Min, le ML, pour qui s'annonce une carrière prometteuse. (FL bof ...)
+ La réalisation est vive, dynamique.
+ La story est cohérente.
+ Le format court (12 épisodes) ne permet pas de temps mort.
+ Les OST K-pop sont agréables.
CONS:
- j'ai eu du mal à adhérer au personnage de la FL, pas toujours très cohérent, et je ne suis pas très convaincue des acting skills de Jeon Jong Seo.
- Les personnages de "bonnes copines parfaitement idiotes", récurrents dans les dramas, m'agacent profondément.
=> un bon drama, que Moon Sang Min porte sur ses épaules !

What A Hidden Gem
I've always loved watching Mini Dramas inbetween waiting for a new full length dramas. I stubbled on this drama because of l Zhao Yi Qin (ML) ive seen many if not all of his dramas. This drama also had 2 of my favourite up and coming actors Shen Yu Jie (FL) and Fang Xiao Dong and they did not disappoint.For a small Budget drama it was well produce, with good writting, excellent acting from all actors and good pacing. With the whole plot of this drama mainly regardinf a tree, the writter made sure each charactor was introduce well making sure there were nothing was missed and audiance understood them well. Excellet visuals and appealing charactors, this drama had it all.
A little disappoint about how it ended however i will recomend this drama to anyone. !!

Milady, are you daft?
This was so good until...it was not any more!The story about a ditzy heiress/police detective and her butler was original and fun at the beginning. But then the story stayed put: no character development, no change, immobile. And that ruined it for me. I enjoyed the first half, slept through the second.
The world building is rather fun and colourful. She is kind and living in her bubble since she has no idea how ordinary (i.e. not obscenely rich!) people live. Her reactions are funny. The butler is stoic, cold-blooded and direct. Their relationship is fun.
Her boss is another rich man, completely self-centred and incompetent as a detective. So the butler solves the cases for the heiress and her boss takes the credit.
The drama is based on a manga and maybe this static characters work there but in a drama I need to see the results of the interactions between these characters. Nothing! Everyone remains in their place and while the initial cases hid this lack of development, once I was used to the format, I completely lost interest.
The heiress puts her glasses on and goes to the crime scene in a limo. Her butler follows her hidden from sight while she investigates (nobody knows that she's a heiress!) with her incompetent boss. In the evening, she tells her butler what she learned during the investigation. He insults her politely because she did not figure out who the culprit is even though it was crystal clear to him. So, over desert (hence the title of the drama!), he explains everything to her. They confront the culprit who is then arrested by her ignorant boss.
The characters are fun in small doses: you cannot binge this, it becomes quickly unwatchable! The subs made it also fun to watch because the subber made an extra effort to translate everything that was shown on the screen (there were a lot of manga like graphics!). Except for the last two episodes (one story in two parts!) which lacked those extras in english and suddenly the drama was much worse for it!
Key word here is: FUN!

It's watchable. but nothing special.
I never watch the original or any of the remakes, but learned that ‘Mon Rak Luk Tung’ was a classic hit in Thailand. Set in the present time, Mon Rak Luk Tung 2567 is a love story between two people – Khlao, a young poor farmer, and Thongkwao, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy man in the village. Their relationship is prevented by their parents, not only because of their differences in status but also because of the parents’ past issues with each other.Like other versions, this drama is meant to be a sweet romantic comedy. However, the sweet romance is somehow lacking in terms of emotional building. The ‘rich girl, poor boy’ storyline is executed pretty typically; there is nothing compelling about it. The conflicts are also not well explored, making the tension feel flat. Although I’m not really into musicals, the musical portion of this drama is acceptable and not cringy.
Every character is decently played, but no character really stands out. Mew and Charlotte show strong chemistry, but their story development is rather weak. Charlotte’s character, Thongkwao, suits her personality. But as the story progressed, there was nothing interesting about her character other than a basic girl—she’s pretty, she’s smart, she’s from a rich family, and that pretty much was it. Although her acting is not outstanding, it has improved from her previous series. Saijai, played by Kwan Pinthip, is a very stereotypical depiction of a promiscuous woman. She’s the villain you won’t pay much attention to.
This drama offers beautiful scenery and nice visuals. The countryside location is just amazing. ‘Falling in Love / Mon Rak Luk Tung 2567’ has a decent premise and a good line-up of actors, but the execution is pretty weak. It may not be a well-crafted remake that balances escapism with realism, but it’s an okay drama to watch for its light dramatic plots.

Expect a strong bromance/friendship cos the chemistry is CHEMISTRYING.
We have ZR who came to the hospital his father help build almost 20 years ago, to work & also investigate what happened during those 17 years…there he meets different patients & diseases. He looks cold,distant & blunt due to the past but slowly opens up to another smart man called Su Yun. SY also has his own baggage, but slowly changes while having ZR around.Note that, even tho it’s from the novel, it doesn't follow everything accurately, then again which drama has EVER followed a novel to the T?🤔. So don’t expect some system or whatever & yes they’ll blur the surgery( due to censorship I guess) so keep that in mind too.
Zheng REN & Su Yun work together, become very close to the extend that, ZR wants SY by his side all the time. Whenever SY is sad, ZR gets emotional too…mind you, he NEVER cares nor shows emotions to anyone except Su Yun. They are basically best friends/soulmates you could feel the chemistry oozing 🤭. There may be disagreements but they quickly solve it as adults. Mostly when there are disagreements the two leads start bickering & become negative towards each other but NOPE! Not ZR & SY.
So give it a watch & you won’t regret it.

Not a BL
The fact this is marketed as a BL and up on sites like Gagaoolala labeled as one badly hurts the enjoyment. This is not a BL, there aren't even any gay characters in the show, it's a straight show with a forced scene that really doesn't add anything and seems to just exist so they can market it as a BL. If they marketed it properly for what it actually is, basically like a PG-13 version of the Hangover, it could have been fun but it being labeled as a BL makes it look like they're queer baiting for marketing, a bait and switch since BLs are popular.Was this review helpful to you?
A mixed feeling of "ahh!" and "huh?" and "oh.."
This drama gave me a mixed feeling of "ahhh!" and "huh?" and "oh...". While going through the first few episodes, I felt this drama had potential... But as the drama rolled on, I actually took a break from it and came back because I wanted to know what happened to our second lead couple. The drama follows Yang Caiwei (played by Zhang He Hui Zi in the beginning 2 episodes and then Jujin Yi later as the main role), who became a coroner after the downfall of her family. Life was quiet, until Pan Yue ( Liu Xue Yi) popped back into her life to fulfill the engagement promise during their childhood years. Caiwei finally gave into her heart and said yes to Pan Yue, but fate had other plans in store for them. Zealous Shangguan Zhi decided to kidnap Yang Caiwei on the day of her wedding and swapped their faces to marry Pan Yue, but was murdered shortly after. This murder case will eventually pull our main leads together as they find more clues towards a bigger conspiracy.The storyline was acceptable, but not enough to awe me. I didn't care much about the cases they were solving because it was there mainly to keep the storyline moving for the next clue.
Yang Caiwei's character was a bit confusing for me to accept after the third episode. I believe it would've flow much better if they just use the same actress from the beginning to the end for our female lead. It was a little hard for me to accept Jujin Yi as Yang Caiwei throughout the drama after the first actor because Zhang He Hui Zi was great as Yang Caiwei in the first two episodes and left an strong image of Yang Caiwei's character. When Jujin Yi jumped in to fill the role, she felt like a different Yang Caiwei.
One thing the writers did correctly was Pan Yue. He's character was consistent with the flow of the story and his feelings and actions made sense. One of the many reasons I kept watching was to see Pan Yue's battle with himself trying to understand why he's suddenly falling in love with a woman whom he loathe in the beginning. His arch made me realize that we fall in love with the soul and not the flesh.
Our second lead couple was cute to watch despite the limited screen time they have. One reason I came back to finish the drama. Their love was like a seed that sprouted but didn't end satisfactory.
Overall, this drama is "eh". Will I rewatch it? Nope, once is enough (Not unless they add a new side story of Bai Xiao Shang and Zhuo Lan Jiang .^_^.)

Historians will say they were roommates
There is something about JBLs that just take the cake. There’s not much that I don’t like about this drama tbh. I say I’m not a friend of friends to lovers but lowkey it’s growing on me. Maybe I’m just not fond of Hetero friends to lovers lol.Anyways, the vibe you get is that the friend who seems so perfect can’t keep a girlfriend well bc it’s kinda obvious that he doesn’t want too. He swings the other way ya know. And he high key is in love with his roommate/friend and probably for a while now.
Anyways, the height difference is killing me in a good way and they’re so cute together.

Absolutely yes
Basically fake dating/friends with benefits but make it Gay. Count me in. The chemistry is definitely there and the whole cast seems to be well trained in acting. The camera work is good although some of the editing is questionable and slightly odd. I am a big fan of plots like this bc we pick up the pace with the main leads. You get the vibe that the super hot popular costar secretly watched and like his lesser popular and slightly awkward junior. I’m definitely a sucker for plots like this so I’m excited about the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
