Drama Review: Dream Knight

Dream Knight - 12 episodes

Joo in Hyung is a very positive girl who lives by herself and who strives hard to fulfill her dreams. She's also a big fan of the idol group, GOT, who goes in the same school with her. Then one day four mysterious boys with strange powers appear to protect her.

I feel so cheated with dramas which blatantly package themselves as reverse harem. Case in point: Flower Boy Next Door, Rooftop Prince etc. It has a touch of reverse harem with its cohabitation and guardian set up, but for the romance department it's strictly a love triangle, But prior to the home-crashers, In Hyung is used to living alone by herself in a lone trailer down the riverside and I'm like this is a murder scene waiting to happen.

The opening credit is a cheesy dance off with a Diabolik Lover vibe. But the title card looks so amateurish. The web drama is joint production between Korea and China featuring the idol group, GOT7. We are now used to ONA format in animes and so even though it's the first time I've seen a very short episode for a drama, 13 minutes, it wasn't hard to get the hang of it. Kpop boy bands + web drama is becoming a thing now. There's the already finished, EXO Next Door (thanks Angie for the tip) and the ongoing, To Be Continued. Anything I've missed? That's a promising trope to watch out for! Yaaas!

I procrastinated on watching this but once I started watching it again, it was too easy to watch since it's really short. The drama showcased the GOT's dancing prowess and I was impressed with the two main guy's acting too. I was disappointed with the performance for the main event because I really thought In Hyung is going to dance like a pro! (oops spoiler!). For me, the evil girl should win it. Lol!

And now for some small stuff. I lost my mom, so it struck a chord in me when they broke her video camera. I also love the cameo of Yoo Gyum (I just have to Google her) as the older hot woman who kept getting splashed with water. Also, I don't know what is the deal with the evil girl's mother, was she adopted? I might have missed the part where it was explained. There's also a cameo of Choi Woo Shik from Rooftop Prince.

The storyline is just average and it ends on a happy note. The only thing that set it apart from the usual dramas is when the supposedly evil guys are one step ahead of them and they explained the twist afterwards. So that was kind of unpredictable.

GOT7 is also coming to our country in November and I don't think I'm that too invested to them to watch and I'll be on my third trimester by then. But I'm disappointed, that I might be missing Kiera Cass' booksigning this weekend. I no longer have the energy to stand or wait for hours in my state.

I like GOT7 so i gave the kdrama a go, it did grow on me and i did wish the episodes were longer. Maybe the story line would have been better if it was more detailed.

I still enjoyed it and wouldn't mind watching more kpop x kdrama

I love the drama so much! But, the ending where JB suddenly appears again really confuses me! I may have missed something but why does he end up coming back? Is it just her imagination? Is it a start to a whole new story? Someone please help me out and tell me 😱😭

👑 18 Treasures: Favorite Reverse Harem Reads from 2020-2025 (Manga, Manhwa, Webtoons & Novels)

Hello, Wallflowers! This is Ayreesa. I recently shared my 18 Gems : reverse harem reads from 2007–2019 that shaped me.

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

Light Novel Review: I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death!

I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death~( Akuyaku Alice ni Tensei Shita node, Koi mo Shigoto mo Houki Shimasu!) Written by Chii Kurusu Art by: Minato Yaguchi Translated by: Emma Schumacker While carrying out her secret executioner duties Alice bumps her head and realized she is reincarnated into her favorite otome game which won the Deadliest Game of the Year award. Together with the bad boy butler, Jack; sinful man, Leeds; the Tweedle twins and walking death flag, Earl Knightley. Disclaimer: A digital review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. She knows the ins and outs of the story but the routes are not moving forward just like it goes in the game. I felt lost at first too with the story and was wandering aimlessly with Alice. And when she decided her purpose, I was not convinced. It is fast-paced it's just that the premise was different in how the story played out. But those who are patient are rewar...

Anime Review: Kiskis! My Boyfriends are Mint Candies!

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Winter Reverse Harem Dramas 2021 Reviews Part 1: Fling at Convenience Store, No Going Back Romance, Life of Namjoo, 3B No Koibito, Mairunovich & Girl2k

This is the record-breaking number of dramas in one season! Nine reverse harem dramas not including 300 Year-Old Class of 2020 which seems like a promotional show? I can't see myself doing one review at a time. It's going to take me forever so I'll review them in one go. I have yet to finish cdramas: Celestial Authority Academy, In Love With Your Dimples and Unique Lady/Lascivious Lady Season 2. Those are 20+ episodes each. It's also hard to rank them as they have different formats but I've grouped them according to country of origin. Some are super short whilst others are just right. There were some that I loved but the ending left me sad. And there was one or maybe two that are not a reverse harem! Reverse harem baiting!!! asdfjisojgjrjgk And there's one drama where the heroine didn't choose anyone! Now, now...not gonna tell which drama was that. *evil laugh* kdramas Coincidentally, all these dramas are short and didn't disappoint. Okay, there'...

Related Review: Female Managers and All-boy Idol Groups: Idolish 7, B-Project and Top Management

I decided not to write a review of Idolish 7 since it's not a reverse harem. But I'm in the same predicament again after watching B-Project. Then I remembered, I still have another completed kdrama that fits the bill. Okay so might as well post it in one go. Here goes for my review of female managers and all-boy idol groups. It's more of a comparison and contrast of the three. Idolish 7- anime- 17 episodes Tsumugi Takanashi is a new manager that was assigned to handle a newly-formed idol group in her father's company.

Webtoon Reviews: A Whirlwind Campus Affair, The Kiss Bet, and My Clueless Love Diary

I’m excited to share the mini-impressions and mini-reviews I first posted in the Patreon newsletter making their public debut as part of 18 Treasures : Favorite Reverse Harem Reads of the 2020s~ Manga, Manhwa, Webtoons & Novels of the Reverse Harem Garden 18th Birthday Series . A Whirlwind Campus Affair manhwa on Webtoons Rumor has it that Baram Oh had an affair with her married art school professor. It’s been four years since that debacle, and now she’s back at campus to try and enjoy her college life. But she’s not the only thing who’s returned: there’s rumors of a water ghost roaming the halls, and it just might be following her around. June 2, 2023 Baram returns to art school after a scandal. It's addicting, cute, funny, and I finished all season 1 in two days, and I want moooooore! I love the pink 'fits of the Baram Oh. At first, I wasn't sure who to root for as all the guys are on equal footing at the start, but as the story goes along, I know where my heart...

English Otome Mobile Apps

English otome apps are now available in smartphones! The art and the bishies are eye candy and the premises are engaging. These are all paid apps but they all come with free prologues to tempt your wallets. Finally, English games that are accessible! I wish I can just pay it in my local currency rather than credit card. "Pirates in Love" is the first title of Voltage Romance Sims. It's available both in itunes and play. You'll have to pay for each characters and epilogues. I really want to play Eduardo! "My Forged Wedding" is also from Voltage and are also available in itunes and play . The prologue doesn't give away the details as to why exactly they need to fake the wedding but check out the video above to have an idea why. I'm gravitating to Saeki (the ladies man) and Yamato (the rude guy). Also, the "uncle" seems to be play-able character in the future. Interesting. ...
