KDRAMA OF THE YEAR!
I think everyone should watch this, like just put it on and you’ll be hooked from the first 10 mins. And ITS WORTH YOUR TIME! I didn’t know anything about the show except it was a Kang Full story, so I was so surprised to find the 1st epi being horror! And it was so well done, not in a jumpscare way but in an eerie-creepy way. The set design has a purpose, the camera shots have purpose, the shadows have purpose, EVERYTHING is so detailed and meaningful. If the first half is horror, the second half is dramatic and romantic. Everything you thought was scary, is actually the most sweetest and purest thing. To accomplish that shift for every character is just great writing and acting. You will cry for the last 2 episodes. It’s so bittersweet but beautiful. The final shot is ART (and an arrow to my chest like whyyyyy is it so sad?)Every character gets a full arc story with no loose ends (kinda - hopeful for more seasons). Almost all stories made me tear up at one point, but especially the rescue dog with the branch through it broke my heart, the bus driver drowning in his tears, the mom saving her daughter the way she was saved by her father (the cotton ball had me holding my chest) and ofc, Hyunmin & Jiyoung’s story was the saddest, I was sobbing and distraught.
Random but in the beginning I thought: hmm the set design for this lane/neighbourhood is so weird, it feels like a “set” with bad cgi rain clouds, it doesn’t seem realistic and BOOM there was a reason for that and now looking back I LOVE THE SET DESIGN AND CGI.

The Afterlife
I really liked how the plot revolves around an actual near-death experience like how the they collectively agree that they all see a light right before waking up. It was so creatively written, and it felt different from any other ghost or afterlife narration I’ve come across. Not to say I fully believe in the afterlife, but this definitely poked at my morbid curiosity about what it might be like on the other side—walking that thin line between life and death. But then again, who knows? Augh!I super enjoyed this, and that genre shift halfway through? Completely uncalled for but so good! It starts off kind of weak, but that’s the point!
It feels so rewarding to put the pieces together haha. I highly recommend

MASTERPIECE ???
I just can say WOW!! This is a really masterpiece in all the extent of the sentence 👏 👏👏👏The way you can experience the different genres as you watch the episodes and the way that make you have terror in the first part of the serie are the same things that makes you cry in the second part of the story... just GENIUS ✨️✨️
The Scene of the mother that can speak and what to save her daughter WOW!! the emotional they need to give her an OSCAR!!! and the plot twist of she and the guy with glasses didn't see to come.. and gladly have my eyes like waterfalls and its ok!!! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🔥

Ghibli-esque atmosphere, unique story, compelling mystery. A+++ in my books.
I knew from the get go this was going to be good, what with the writer being the same as Moving (2023).It absolutely did not disappoint. It is confusing in the best way, until it’s not and how validating and satisfying the payoff is!
I mostly cried, was thoughtful, felt understood and profoundly moved by this drama. The acting was for the most part amazing (not a big fan of Seolhyun but eh), especially from Hyunjoo’s actress and of course Ju Jihoon. But they all did amazing. Everything is so important in this, every little detail so well thought, you can only watch with full intention. It felt a little like a Ghibli, because the aesthetics and mood settings are extremely unique and draw you into the plot in a way no drama ever does. I love that the soundtrack is so lowkey. Moments of silence are so important and underrated in nowadays’ productions.
Loved, loved, loved this so much.
Watch it at night, under a heavy blanket, with hot chocolate on a comfortable bed 🫶🏼 You’re in for a treat.

you must find your light with your own will
light shopBUHAY NG LAHAT/10000000
— the light bulbs represent people’s souls, with the light shop keeper really being the keeper of these souls.
some lights are barely hanging on, some already out. some are dirty and worn, most bright. they all probably feel the pull of their own soul
episode one gives me so much chills, imagine 1 am ko to pinanood tas ako lang mag isa sa taas ??? ang mysterious every character kaya nakaka-entertain sya panoorin and papanoorin mo talaga sya dahil curious ka every character eh, sa ep 3 naman superb sa detective, ang galing mag ano ng crimes although lahat naman pero kasi if ako yung kasama nya mag identify don hahahhaa di ko rin yon mapapansin, ang galing !!!! every small details putcha lopit.
OMGGG sa season 5 ko narealize lahat lahat, nandon lahat kung bakit yon nangyari kung ano dahilan at kung bakit, euueueueue super gandaaaaaa. Ang hate ko lang is yung mother ni hyungmin, why did she do that :( hindi niya manlang inisip yung consequences nung text na binigay nya dun sa deaf na gf ng anak nya, nagsuicïdé tuloy yung girl, super sakit non. kaya naman pala sya laging nakaupo ron sa bus stop kasi inaantay nya si hyungmin, ang last kasi na interaction nila ay pasakay na ng bus si hyungmin kaya hinihintay nya yon, kahit ghost na sha :( tapos sa ep 6 naman yung deaf na gf ayaw nya pa umalis like meron kasi sakanilang 3 day funeral which is parang 40 days ng mga patay sa ph, pero ang kaibahan nasa chamber or may fridge na lagayan yung mga patay sa korea, so after 3 days hindi mabuksan yung fridge ayaw pa pala umalis nung deaf gf sa world, tapos ang ginagawa pala is tinatahi nya si hyungmin para mabuhay yon :(((( tapos dun naman sa nasa apartment yung nanay nya pala nagligtas sakanya sa accident, super sakit ng episode na to, iba talaga ang grief. madami pa ako gusto sabihin kaso i can't put it into words 😭😭
the way the bus driver kept trying to find his passengers to take them to the light shop so they could survive even tho he himself was dead, my tears literally burst out, he died out of guilt my heart aches BEST CHARACTER EVER! IM SO SORRY FOR YOU.

I don’t know what it is about the driver but, his acting really touched me. The way he was crying in the elevator. And later his part to guide the boy to the light shop I cried a river. His part really made that someone else ‘s part is needed to encourage a person to find this will to live. Though stemmed from guilt it really made me cry. Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
What a sad compilation ghost story!
At first I watch this series because of Ju Ji Hoon, Park Bo Young and Uhm Tae Goo. But now I already stuck with every one in this drama. At first the story a bit confusing. Not a bit. But quite a lot confusing. But episode by episode, the story became clear and soon to be more clear.Most of the scene are creepy and scary but sad too. Applaused to Kim Hee Won (one of my favourite ahjussy) and other crew. I cannot wait for the next episode to complete all.

una tienda de luces con personajes extraños ?
finished 9/10 ✨💞Overall a story with a very interesting script and incredible special effects, we had a strong start with a somewhat slow intermission but which picked up strongly towards the end.
The plot twists towards the end of the drama left me surprised, maybe I don't give it the full score because I felt that the ending was too open for my personal taste but I highly recommend this story, it's good to pass the time! 👏
Special mention to the direction of the drama, some well edited scenes and in the end all the pieces fit together 10/10
