During a lunch outing, the two go to a pancake shop full of exuberant young ladies to “do what girls do,” and it’s just the thing to breathe life into Nozue. The two men start an unlikely friendship—and perhaps something a little sweeter!

HIStory5: Love in the Future (2022)

 Sincerely there were a little bit too much holes in the story of Tai Che Ni and Hai Yi, the main couple of HIStory5, to make me enjoy it completely. But instead I liked quite a lot the side couple Liang Wen Hsen and Lin Huai En, so much that made it worth the watch. The time travel element is basically adding nothing to the plot, just sometime Tai Che Ni having difficulties to relate to the future (but neither much, like being able to use a smartphone at first try, Steve Jobs would be happy indeed, he was the one saying you shouldn't use a manual and you should able to use the smartphone at glance). Also Tai Che Ni is so worried for his grandmother, but when he knew she is dead by a broken heart after he disappeared, he says, oh, well, no need to go back ?!? Sorry, if you go back your grandmother would not be dead! So yes, the furistic element for me was not well plotted, aside from that the series was nice. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.

Happy Ending Romance (2022)

The only thing that upset me in Happy Ending Romance is that, all three men in the love triangle were good, and basically, if I was Cha Jung Woo, I wouldn't been able to choose between Kim Jung Hyun and Han Tae Young, for different reasons, they are both perfect. Moreover, from what I gathered, Cha Jung Woo is having a relationship with Kim Jung Hyun, so basically, when he starts to have interest in Han Tae Young, he is basically cheating, and I don't like cheating (I know, I know, I accept many things, but cheating really I don't like; a polyamorous relationship is acceptable, cheating is not). Anyway, I have the feeling Cha Jung Woo is not considering Kim Jung Hyun's feelings, like he is accepting Kim Jung Hyun's love like something that is there, that he can use, but that is not something he asked or will want in the future. I felt bad for Kim Jung Hyun. Said that, already the fact this series had me these feelings, is good, cause at least, it was something out of ordinary. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 3/6.

Ghost Host, Ghost House (2022)

 Ghost Host, Ghost House was quite original in the plot not related to the romance. Sure, it was easily understandable who were the ghosts in the story, but that is basically in the title, so not very big spoiler, but all the story revolving around it was, at the same time, dramatic, tender and even a little bit funny. The love story of Kawin and Pluem is instead quite ordinary, not really sparking much interest, even if, yes, they were quite passionate. The cinematography was good, even if I think this is not a big production budget, so kudos to give the right feeling to the story. The actors, aside from the main couples, were good as well, actually sometime even better. For once I was more interested in them than the romance. HEA. You can see on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 5/6.

No Touching At All (2014)

 My new obsession, the manga of Kou Yoneda, made me remember that I have seen this Japanese movie, No Touching at All, and I quite enjoyed it. For once, being a Japanese movie, they were quite openly passionate. Moreover, I fell in love with the rude, but with a tender heart, Togawa. True, his courtship of Shima was not exactly romantic, that first night I was like, Oh, he is really doing it?, but then, in a way, Togawa was the one who gave eveything to this relationship, forcing Shima to realize he has finally found someone sincere. The story was sweet and sexy at the same time. Really liked it. HEA. Heat Level: 6/6.

First Love Again (2022)

 First Love Again was nice; I have to try convince myself to not make too many questions, like, for example, is Yeon Seok dying every time, or he is just simply remaining the same while the people around him get older and die? But aside from that, I liked this story, it was mostly funny and sweet, Yeon Seok is, basically, a goofy man; he should be this intelligent and aloof big shot author, but in reality, he is just a man in love for 300 years of the same person, and he just wants to fulfill this love. In comparison Jeong Ha Yeon, while younger, is more set on his persona, it appears stronger, and he is the first to accept his feelings. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 3/6.

Enchanté (2022)

 Enchanté falls into the secret crush/mistake identy thrope. Childhood friend Theo and Akk meet again after a long separation and of course, Akk has a secret crush on Theo, but he doesn't come out to him. He sends hidden love messages in a french book to Theo, who set on the quest to search for his secret admirer with the help of, guess who?, Akk! What follows is the classic comedy with 4 different men pretending to be the secret admirer, and the real secret admirer, Akk, trying to avoid one of them to mislead Theo, when the easier thing to do would have been to just come out. This could have been a charming series, but it dragged too long, I would have preferred more time about Theo and Akk. HEA. You can see it on Facebook. Heat Level: 3/6.
