Link: Eat, Love, Kill (2022)
Great one to watch
I enjoyed every second of this drama. I've been struggling to start and finish dramas lately, choosing to just rewatch old ones. This one though, this one kept me captivated all the way through, from start to finish. I saw some reviews saying that some episodes were draggy and all that, but I didn't experience any of that. I like how everything played out, how everyones story just blended together to form this beautiful drama. The mother/daughter/grandmother relationship was just-chef's kiss, first drama I've watched with this kind of relationship. They are so effortlessly funny, and I love how the grandma was always ready to fight for her granddaughter, no questions asked she just grabs her weapon lol. I loved the leads together, and I love how they relationship wasn't made the focal point of this drama it almost felt subtle and natural. Then there's the stalker; man, does the actor know how to portray a crazy character, it was quite creepy- the smiles/smirks, laugh and the looks/stares(or I'm just a scaredy cat, tbf I watched this at night). I have so much to say but I don't want to give out spoilers, so I'm just going to leave it here.

Just perfect
Man oh man did I enjoy this series. Not gonna lie though the first 3/4 episodes almost made me drop the series because the 2nd hand embarrassment was killing me, but boy am I glad I stuck around. This is a feel good type of drama there are no love triangles, no unnecessary misunderstandings, just a beautifully written story about love and friendships. I loooved their friendship, it was so beautiful to watch grow and develop. Normally by the 12th episode I get frustrated when the romantic side of the drama is not progressing fast enough but with this one I did not feel like that because of the friendship they had as a group. I was a bit scared that once they eventually get together the cuteness would dissappear like I felt with HL, but here even after they got together it still felt wholesome and cute. If you're someone that likes drama, I don't think you'll enjoy this one. This is just a simple, wholesome, straightforward and beautifully written story about love, friendship and uplifting one another. Loved it.

I am so mad
I am so mad at myself. I never watch hyped up tv shows or movies because they always fall short but then I thought Asian dramas are different. Boy was I wrong, I am a Kdrama fanatic so when I think about Asian dramas I think about them that's why I thought this was going to be different.
I am currently on episode 18 of this drama and I am struggling. My first mistake was watching King the Land before this one, because most people were bashing King the Land and hyping this one. I think maybe if I watched this one first and did not see the 'great reviews' I might have enjoyed it just a little bit more because this drama was sooo slow for one. I typically don't dislike a slow burn but this one was just annoying honestly, because there was there unclear communication which led to hurt feelings(for the Fl mostly), the FL jumping to conclusions and breaking her heart and and... Secondly, I now realise that I much prefer mature romance, where the couple clearly communicates their feeling and all misunderstandings are dealt with swiftly.
I have so much to say but this will be wayyy too long. But I really did not enjoy this one, even when they finally got together it was just- meh. The way I was so excited for this drama, I avoided any reels about this drama as I didn't want any spoilers, which is so unlike me, because everyone was raving about this. It got me so mad that I even want to unfollow my favorite asian drama influencer because she's still raving about this drama and I feel like I can't trust her judgment any more. I swear if I see another person or page raving about this series I'm going to scream because I honestly feel bamboozled right now. Lastly, I feel like Cdramas follow a written format for their romance series because they pan out the same, it's weird. Different story lines same format(atleast for the one I've watched thus far).
I was so disappointed that I had to create an IMDb account to write this review, because I just had to say something. Anyway, I gave this a 4 star because of the few comedic scenes and because of how cute the main leads are and also for the little girl at the beginning. Their acting of these characters however, was over done. The ML acted way too old for his age and the FL way too young for her age, which made it so hard to get past the older brother and younger sister dynamic they had at the beginning. I feel like I've wasted time on this one because I've so many series I want to watch, so disappointed and this is coming from someone who loooves light hearted romantic shows.
