Fun, Relatable, Full of Lessons
From the title and synopsis, the impression was this is a part comedy, part cheesy, part romantic, series. It was so easy to dismiss but I am glad I did not. Each episode are around 30 minutes long and they did well in telling the stories of the characters and their relationships while staying to a particular topic or subject in each episode.
I like the OST, at least what was used so far in the first 8 episodes. Good acting, the chemistry between the actors were great. Relatable story, romantic and yet light--not cheesy, not teenage drama, no serious political and family drama.
If you're looking for a TV show to break your existing serious line-ups, definitely pickup "Lovestruck in the City".

An impactful lesson-filled short story
"Dear My Name" (2019) was a 6-episode web series for 10 minutes each which was later re-released as a 2-episode show. However, do not get distracted by it, not every good story has to be long just as how short stories can be as awesome as novels, "Dear My Name" was as awesome as any other full-length TV drama.
The acting was simple and the production and direction captured the spirit of the plot. A story about soulmates, liking each other, rejection, moving on, courage to confess, and having the freedom to choose who we want to spend our lives with. Having presented these "stages of relationships" in a total of one hour tells us the talent of the actors, actresses, the writer, and the director.
Could it have been done longer? Sure. But it won't be as perfect as what it is with its current format.
A story you will never forget for the rest of your life
Practically a movie, 2 hours and 20 minutes running time. I would say that by approaching this from an episodic method, they were able to tell the story in a simple and yet very touching way. If they turned this into a movie, it wouldn't have the same impact as the expectations and requirements for one is far different.
This proves that great stories does not have to be long, it is the execution and delivery that matters. I also love how they embedded the importance of studying mathematics and science--something that students need to understand--by throwing a modern student into the past where their survival lies on it, just as how important these are today.
I can't believe I only discovered this today. I will never forget this story for the rest of my life.
"Mind Jumper" is actually a 2020 TV series from Singapore. The main female character is autistic and they did well in portraying an autistic working mother. This is rare and I applaud them for getting it right and for the actress portraying her character properly.
An amazing TV series about family love, self-growth, finding yourself, and turning over a new leaf. There is not much to say because no words can truly express the lessons this Korean Drama imparted to all of us.
Challenging ourselves to new things every day gave us strength and courage.
It doesn't matter even if you collapse or fail every day.
When that happens, tell yourself this:
"You're doing well.
"You're the most magnificent star in your life.
"That is, if you refuse to give up
"and get back on your feet once again."
Trust is the magic that changes the world, not technology.

Thank you team Doom At Your Service for a very romantic and very memorable story. You will all be missed.
To Ms. Park Bo Young, once again, what a superb performance! See you in your next TV drama (or movie)!
Thank you for a great 6-season series! We all want it to continue but live-action shows has to end some time. I hope the CW-DC will continue the story in another medium, like say comics (again based on CW-Supergirl) or serial novel (or ebook). I for one will buy those, especially now that Kara revealed her identity.
Regardless, thank you. This was the #1 CW-DC series for me, even though I'm a big fan of The Flash and Green Lantern.
This is the only show that I am so happy the false suspect was eaten alive. He deserves it. He thinks so highly of himself, ignoring the help he is being offerred. Ignoring the advises he's given. He wants to do everything on his own, oh, he is 25 years old too and there were no hints whatsoever he is psychologically unstable. No, he has full control of himself, he's just an a**, even if he's innocent, he deserves it.
The Red Sleeve 옷소매 붉은 끝동 (2021) trumps the bittersweet and/or sad ending of:
When the a show is about real-life, lessons, break-ups, it gets low ratings and much hatred. LMAO. You'll even read comments like "it's too unrealistic" and "it doesn't happen in real life". I guess they're "too blessed" to have lived a life in perfect bliss.
But for the rest of us, life is colourful. For the rest of us, life is a challenge, full of mountains and roadblocks we have to conquer. This is why shows like these, which speaks from the heart and reminds us how human we all are, is a perfect 100 out of 10.
This is way far better than all The Walking Dead seasons combined. Highly recommended for both who likes the zombie genre and those who doesn't like it.
This isn't your usual, ordinary, zombie show. It's full of character development, real life and realistic drama, and lessons in survival and life itself.
In this show, they truly captured how high school students would have acted and think. While maybe, some characters and situations were annoying, you would realize that's how you and your classmates would have been at that age of your life. They also did not shy away from showing the very difficult task of making decisions, and best of all, how in the middle of fear, uncertainty, and death, humanity still can trust and support each other at the end of the day.
It's not all running. There are stories behind every episode, every character, every scene. Something you don't see in majority of zombie films and TV series.
Top-notch actress, Kim Tae Ri, is perfect for the character "Na Hee Do". She is not overdoing the character's outbursts but at the same time, she is not under performing those scenes.
And her facial expressions, those are simply perfect. You can clearly see how she owned the character. She stopped being an actress and starts to live as Na Hee Do the moment the camera rolls.
She has many faces in this show and yet her character have a solid background. Only Kim Tae Ri can do that.
Imagine that, you made me clap after the last scene. I rarely do that unless I was very satisfied and moved beyond my reserved self.
This TV series is a masterpiece!
I hope Season 4 is not the last. Them guesting the characters from the prequels smell like this is a farewell to the franchise.
Thank you very much for Episode 6. Our grandfather never received the respect and honour he deserves as a WW2 veteran, he and many other veterans like him, were denied the benefits, financial support, respect, and honour when they continued on with their lives.
Institutions, politicians, and governments, only paid lip service and delayed the bills that could have given them proper support. Yes, the bills eventually became laws but only after most of the veterans already passed away. They wouldn't even give posthumous awards, promotions, and/or recognition.
Thank you very much for Episode 6. It may be dedicated for the Korean War veterans, but it resonates very powerfully with all war veterans in all countries, if not for them, majority of us wouldn't be enjoying the life we have today.

Can someone refresh this? It's stuck at 1 episode.
This is what happens when a vital feature like "refresh data" is hidden behind a paywall … your own database is obsolete when your third-party source is not.
Was Disney's Grid challenging? Worry not! I answered as many questions as I possibly can in my article "Grid Explained". A fair warning, it is very long as there are a lot of questions and some requires a detailed explanation.
For example, did Sae Ha survive? Yes, he did, and that is 100% guaranteed. You'll have the supporting proofs in the article explaining the answer to that question … and I guarantee you will agree that it is the only answer possible.
Without further ado, head over to https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/그리드-grid-explained-2022116/ and get the answers to your questions.

Glad to see tradTrek (traditional Trek) is back! I miss this format and style of Star Trek.
Nothing wrong with the other nuTrek, they're all great on their own, but as someone who grew up watching Star Trek, the style of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT, have grown on me. It's more about the issues we are facing today, in real life, as well as meaningful life realizations. Picard is like that but it is more about Jean-Luc. Discovery is like that but it is more about the conflict and the characters.
But tradTrek is different. The approach is to let the audience relate and think of the world around them.
Best of all, finally, we have a Captain Pike canon series! We seriously lack canon materials around Pike and his time with the Enterprise and it has been requested since the 90s. Finally! Let me say that again, FINALLY!
The ending is a disappointment. Brought down by rating because of how big of a disappointment it was.
What a perfect ending! How they closed this show in the final episode guaranteed I will always remember the entire series.
That's how you end a show, with a bang. Always leave a lasting impression.
It's so perfect, I am sad and teary-eyed that it ended. I will remember them in my what-ifs and treasure the lessons they gave us.
Goodbye! While the final season was all over the place especially after the multiple breaks … it is now understandable why it happened that way: sudden cancellation when they have planned for it longer … not easy to suddenly cut it short.
Hopefully we'll see another spin-off of the original franchise and see character cameos to connect the worlds/series.
Again, thank you Legacies actors and staff! It has been a very fun ride!
It was a simple, nice, and feel-good ending. It's a good way to end this show after all the killings and the violence and the kidnapping and the pain. It is a journey about life, the things we may regret, and how to move on and heal ourselves and others.
There is also a very good message they left the audience: life is short to worry too much about the future, live your life by being healthy and happy, and say the things that matter to the people you love today, now, while you still can.
Definitely a show worth re-watching when we feel down or need a reminder.
From 9 stars to 10 stars. The best so far of all the life drama / true-to-life stories I've watched - from any region/country.
They portrayed the different dynamics of each family member. How each person thinks. How their decisions and emotions play with the other members of the family.
I guess this is why the Filipinos and Koreans are close, our family-structure and connections are similar, if not exactly the same. Extended families are a thing and the closeness (or lack thereof in some cases) between members and extended families are something many other nations/cultures doesn't have and will never understand.
This drama, the various different stories they portrayed, the relationships, the dynamics, the REALITY of it all, LIFE itself, well done. WELL DONE!
Very good adaptation. I love it.
Too bad it aired at the same as "Big Mouse / Big Mouth", BM took the attention away, and it reflected even in the Koren ratings and news wire.
But worry not, Today's Webtoon Korean adaptation still earned fans. ^_^
The funniest group I've ever watched in any region/country. They gave us endless laughter which helped balanced out the hardships we experience on a daily basis.
You know the proverb, "laughter is the best medicine". Earth Arcade. with this combination of players, is that medicine.
Hoping to see them again soon and not 12 months later. Thank you hosts. Thank you PD Na. Thank you entire staff.
And I hope you feature the Philippines in Season 3, since it appears you've decided to go to Hawaii in Season 2. ^_^
Sweet. The main, and primary support, actors worked together in previous projects like "Awaken" and "The Veil". They wouldn't have problems in this project because they already know each other's acting style and can communicate better. That means this show is going to be great!
You know it's Korean fantasy when there is an old woman selling old stuff on the streets, overpass, underpass, and speaks about times of old. And then … boom … a miracle.
^_^
