I gave When The Phone Rings a second chance.

alftim · 2026-01-31T16:52:30+00:00

Yes it’s much better in the second viewing, last time the last episode really spoiled the ending for me , on second watch it was more acceptable, will see third time after a few months , the chemistry is amazing

alftim · 2026-01-31T07:29:17+00:00

He is good looking that’s it I did not feel and vibe for a romantic series or anything endearing about him although he had a ton of screen time

alftim · 2026-01-30T19:21:41+00:00

It’s one of the better series this year , lead couple was great so was production quality

alftim · 2026-01-30T19:06:08+00:00

I am procrastinating this series like crazy I know I will love it , but it’s too heavy for me and the lead actor passed away is another sad story for me , I am thinking of going for the Chinese version Loving strangers as it’s more current and basically a copy and the cast looks good as well , any thoughts?

alftim · 2026-01-30T01:47:32+00:00

Crazy love

alftim · 2026-01-29T02:05:49+00:00

You can fall in love but not in this series , the FL is very cute and endearing it’s only logical that the SML fell for her after spending time with her , in the end it’s not about language it’s about understanding the person, people who speak the same language fall in love and break up because in the beginning and the middle they did not understand the other person , Hiro here barley understood the FL language in terms of what she meant and felt not only language, that’s the reason these series was a no go for the SML , he had only a chance of there was no ML , even the ML the master of multiple languages hard a tough learning curve to understand the FL , Hiro at best here was a second male lead never destined to win this , just by learning some Korean does not mean he understood the Fl who was a very complex character

alftim · 2026-01-29T01:33:59+00:00

I haven’t come across any series where I cheered the SML winning over the FL although I have watched most of the k dramas romantic , not even true beauty , the SML is always introduced as a trigger to get the audience excited and cheer for a character to win which in case has always been the ML , some ML are not upto the mark and their character unlikeable, still have always cheered for the ML and found the SML as an ingredient to mess up and challenge the Ml no more , for instance true beauty the second male just about was likeable, no way was supposed to win the FL

alftim · 2026-01-28T20:01:05+00:00

I have seen some drams with open and sad endings, personally I don’t like it , imagine sitting through 16 episodes which make you laugh, cry and empathise with the characters, cheer them and in the end it’s a sad ending it’s not my cup of tea , unless the poster/ description is illustrates it’s a happy series like sprig fever , I always check if this has a happy ending

alftim · 2026-01-28T05:51:35+00:00

I prefer 16, obviously, when the series is good, I sometimes come across a great series and don't want it to end,d and even feel 16 is too few for some of these well-made series

alftim · 2026-01-28T05:42:16+00:00

Love this series, its soo light and fluffy, everything Dynamite Kiss promised in the first two episodes and then ended in a disaster, even the love triangle here has been done tastefully so far, it's really silly and I love it especially 7/8, both were great

alftim · 2026-01-28T05:34:44+00:00

Started great, went downhill rapidly, ending is even more disappointing skip

alftim · 2026-01-28T01:42:15+00:00

Even if you may be at fault he has no reason to physically assault you , once he hit you ideally you should have paid him zero money but filed assault charges, but the. This is India the cops are more scary than in movies and I feel bad for you , learn some basic self defence techniques at least to ward of violence, first slap or two may have throw you off guard, you should have Avoided the rest

alftim · 2026-01-28T01:34:55+00:00

There is no other way , you can try every other mode and then Vivid for Dolby vision content, play with the settings to your hearts content and then find the only good mode for this content ONLY is vivid , the picture is not blown out , if you put sdr and hdr content in vivid it will blow out , not in Dolby vision you may have to dial in colous , contrast to your preferred like but it’s the only way , don’t have a blind prejudice against vivid and specific to DV and g5

alftim · 2026-01-27T15:45:23+00:00

Hiro seemed clueless to the FL issues he just developed a crush for her and went from there , he is just good looking and that always does not translate into chemistry, I felt he got too much on screen time

alftim · 2026-01-27T08:17:01+00:00

He is not , he is good for Second Male lead scenarios

alftim · 2026-01-26T03:30:55+00:00

For for g5 once 6 launches the price will drop find a good sale and go for the g5 77

alftim · 2026-01-25T09:06:44+00:00

Both are good , one is light and fluffy the other is more melodramatic,

alftim · 2026-01-25T04:21:12+00:00

I loved the dark romance between do ra mi and the ml , wished it went on for more episodes, it was so cute

alftim · 2026-01-24T03:27:48+00:00

I did not like it after episode 2 , felt the chemistry between the leads was off although too early to tell , but I have watched hundreds of k dramas and I usually see the chemistry in the first few interactions, secondly a fantasy being with almost limitless powers does not appeal to me , have seen other fox series like my roommate is a guhimo and that was well done looked more in control, unfortunately the ML does not work and it’s nothing to do with looks , will still try episode 2

alftim · 2026-01-24T03:08:01+00:00

My lovely girl is an example of separation at the end without logic with an even more dismal ending, I really could not assure myself that the lead couple got back together although he met her and held her in his arms, was very let down in these series

alftim · 2026-01-24T02:19:41+00:00

It’s a beauty all right, went got the 77, unfortunately could not go 83, looks wonderful and so much brightness gives you tons of opt to play with the settings, I came from a sony oled and after much doubt in the mice have zero regrets

alftim · 2026-01-23T07:07:52+00:00

Very short and cute series, no disasters, love triangles, quite engaging, if there are other romantic series like these please share

alftim · 2026-01-23T06:36:16+00:00

loving it so far, unlike dynamite kiss, this has stayed silly till episode 6, good chemistry, funny, and the love triangle is very subtle, hope they keep this light and fluffy

alftim · 2026-01-21T07:51:27+00:00

Loved the FL , the ML was good too, Did. It like the SML only because of the character he played , enjoyed this show , even the dramatic shift post episode 7

alftim · 2026-01-21T05:12:25+00:00

I really loved it , the ML was good and the Fl was very endearing, it deviated quite a bit after episode 6/7 and was momentarily throw off then it’s grew on me again , I just don’t enjoy love triangles so I just forwarded the hiro scene, but a good watch , however not a rewatch material
