Smart Chess play with a lot of legal planning and zero romance
If it wasn't for the male lead probably this drama would have failed miserably ,, even the plot isn't bad but it's not thrilling either,, it started strong with mix of fantasy and fiction but it fell into a lot of planning and a lot of legal talkToo much time spent in just preparing the chess board so the male lead can play his enemy and outsmart him in his own game
I'm not saying it's bad drama ,, it's really smart drama but it's not thrilling enough and I'm not talking about the fight scenes ,, I'm talking about how it lacks the element of surprise and the close calls of important characters in danger and so on
they took too much time growing the main lead into his ultimate shape so he can be at the same level of preparation and intelligence to beat his enemy ,,, they showed us from his college days how he had previous knowledge of what will happen so he can be ready this time and that's cheating in my opinion if it's a chess game ,, he has previous knowledge of his enemies moves that's why he can now make his own moves accordingly lol
of course it was check mate from the first episode that's why he needed that second chance to play again on his own terms this time around
the drama is enjoyable to watch but there were some episodes in the middle a bit draggy and boring but it's all building up for his fighting chance
Lack of romance was a bonus here ,, because romance doesn't fit in such story ,, it would be odd and out of place ,, the male lead is fighting for his own life and justice not for his lover and that's refreshing
If you like mature drama , have the patience for it and of course you love the male lead as I'm I recommend this drama for you
if you want to watch more action scenes or more fantasy or more thrilling drama has lots of chasing and dangerous situations this isn't it

Boring and doesn't have any actual intense rescue nor it's a strong romantic drama either
This was going to be my first chinese rescue drama especially for the main leads ,, I've tried watching many other rescue or medical chinese drama and all of them were disappointing not interesting or thrilling in any way... unfortunately this is the sameBORING ,, DRAGGY AND Slow
they mixed few very short rescue scenes without actual rescue operation ,,, very short scenes of training and rescue missions
and a lot of boring long scenes just the leads talking ,,,,very old repetitive stories of main couple falling in love and family members against their love ,, isn't that archaic and very old
the over protective arogenate brother who did every thing annoying to stop his sister from loving the man she loves was the most annoying thing ever and to be honest the secondary couple of the male lead's sister and her boyfriend were the best couple of the whole drama not those cold leads
and why the hell the female lead has this stone cold frozen face all the time
this drama has some short sweet scenes for the secondary couple and few short scenes of rescue missions but the rest was all boring and non interesting to me in any way
that scrawny male lead who can't carry his own weight and making him a rescuer was the most ridiculous thing ever
Very disappointed from this drama and I was waiting long time to watch it
I don't recommend it at all

The ending made me felt like I wasted my time watching it
The jumps between the time lines through out the movie was horrible ,,made me confused at first ,, thought the story would go somewhere unpredictable but it's worse ,, it was actually as it showedIt was a Bromance between the police officer and the gangster but I didn't like the ending at all
the male lead was used from every side and he became the thing he was hunting at the first place
the movie is ok but not perfect
the acting of the leads was the best
Im Siwan is my favorite young actor in this genera but they didn't use all his potential too

Mockery of priests and detectives plus corrupt officials .. All farce nothing serious
I watched this drama in 2022 because of all the hype and the raving reviews about it ,, also many dramas quoted from this drama some scenes as if it was Iconic ,, I had to watch itat first I found it ridiculous and irritating at times ... they introduced a heavy criminal case but they handled it horribly with all the mockery and the comedic parts as if it's not a real case to solve
they showed the corruption in the most irritating way ,, those people are evil and they act funny not joker funny but stupidly funny
I didn't like the first part of the drama and hated the female lead to be honest ,, she got on my nerves but then after episode eight something changed and it became more serious and less irritating ,,, people tried to make amends and to act right
I began to love the drama and endured all the stupid fun also the tenth scenes of people eating thorough out every episode
Every single episode you will find that there is people eating scene every three to five minutes ,, it was un bearable especially while I'm fasting ,, I noticed how much food and eating scenes are there
My review seemed more like complaining about the drama but honestly I did like it the second half of it especially towards the ending ,, I cried towards the ending and fell in love with all of them even the female lead ,, she grew on me
didn't like the poop scene though it was disgusting ,, the character that was wearing bob marley's hair was annoying and not funny at all
I recommend it for comical relieve not as a serious drama
the male lead is amazing ,, I love his acting and you will love the rest of the cast towards the ending

powerful drama with a lot of pain and sacrifice
Die ten life times for the one you love mostthis is the message that this drama is telling ,, How to give your self completely to the one you love no matter how much you suffer or hurt even from them
The first half of the drama wasn't that strong and I got bored a little at the beginning ,, I was so annoyed with the Female lead's stupidity ,, she has the lowest IQ ,,, I got annoyed a lot of her lack of good judgment till episode 20 then she started to have some common sense and to grow up a bit .... the writer made the lack of her senses is the reason she was stupid but I don't think that was logical ,, may be the lack of her senses can make her cold or arogenate or heartless but not full on love and stupid hahaha
the second half of the drama it became more powerful and really exciting ,, I was really interested and involved more in the story in the second half ,, I didn't like the misunderstandings between the leads but I liked the male lead's suffering ,, it was really good Whump ,,this drama is considered the king of Whumper (hurt male lead the most )
The acting
was perfect from every single actor ,, they are all were the best ,, I enjoyed their performance and their unique characterization to every one of them ,,, every one has his own story yet it didn't get lost along the way and every one has his own purpose and happy ending ,, I really really liked that
I liked every thing about the second part of the drama that I want to repeat it again and again
This drama deserves all the hype around it ,, you just need to withstand the first few episodes and you will be surprised How good this drama is ,, the second part of it was The best
I recommend it so much to any one but I will advice always to bare the first half of it so you can enjoy the rest

Annoying Female character ruined the whole thing
I think I'm a masochist watching this Horrid dramaI kept watching for the friendship ,, but I was so annoyed with the female lead and ridiculous passiveness of the first male lead
I struggled to keep watching ,, I kept skipping a lot
I can't imagine How much the writer and director hated that actress or hated that character
they perfected the portrayal of the most annoying love interest ever
and I'm not exaggerating
How can the smartest person in the story get hit and bullied all the time by this girl that he likes
He was also greedy ,, didn't appreciated a lot of his best friend's kind gestures
I really tried to watch this drama objectively but couldn't
I don't think it's considered Bromance because I didn't see much of that in this

Underrated thriller drama with Bonus strong Bromance/friendship
I'm writing this review and the drama isn't finished yet that's how excited I'm about this underrated gemThis drama is released at the same time with so many good Korean dramas and two of the same genera with more famous younger actors and in public Korean channels not OCN a private channel so you can understand why it's not famous or has higher ratings that's the only reason I could think of
because this drama is just a fresh breath of air among so many disappointing dramas
The actors
are just perfect ,, they aren't Idols or that young and handsome as usual but their acting is top notch especially the two Male leads the two Ajussis oh ,, I can't say enough about those two great actors ,, they are both famous of previous hit dramas Mouse and Squid game ,, their chemistry on screen as best friends is just breath taking
I don't want to exaggerate and say they love each other because they do as brothers in the drama the detective really really cares for the doctor so much that no one else care about him as he did and the bromance is epic in so many episodes and so many great friendship scenes that makes your heart flatter also their friendship with the female lead is just as amazing no love triangle nor much romance but there is slight romantic interest between the detective and the female lead
her English accent by the way is perfect for a korean actress I think she's actually partially American ,,, she was casted perfectly for her role
THE STORY
It's so fresh as a subject not typical crime story has unique take on Arsonists using chemical fires as it's way to commit murders
also the mystery is so complicated with so many variable and hidden secretes that you can't guess who did that then and now for the first half of the drama and the second half you start to guess but no luck until near the finale
the pacing is fast and there is no dull or boring episodes at all
The production is really good also the CGI ,, there is no gore nor obvious violence nor inappropriate scenes at all you can watch this with you family at ease you won't feel uncomfortable ever
The Bromance is a bonus and it gave the drama so much more value to the humanity of it and how humans connect with each other trying to help each other when they are the most vulnerable
it's classy and has great emotions you won't ever regret watching it
I so recommend watching this amazing drama and I decided on re watching it again after it finishes

I almost Vomit ,,, they were trying to adopt Venom marvel American movie but failed horribly
I had high hopes for this one, I thought it was about a psycho killer and the male lead has some foresight after losing his eye to that killer that he can actually watch the crimes and hunt that killerbut apparently, I imagined all that in my head
this drama is a mess ,,, the male lead was abducted and his eyes were harvested but he regained consciousness and managed to reattach one of his eyes to his face again so, IS HE AN ALIAN?
Nope, He's a genetically modified human apparently called connect LOL
Too many sticky parts dismemberment scenes and the sound of flesh cutting and flesh reattachment with all its gore graphic details
one sex scene because psychos have the right to have sex in the middle of this gore
and finally, the male lead got his eye back and didn't kill the psycho because he's a decent deformed human and it was an open ending
Overall watching this drama wasn't pleasant or amusing it was just meh

I watched this drama for the two brothers didn't care about the main couple
When it was on air this drama grabbed my attention because of the relationship between the two aquatic demons coupleand their brotherly relationship, I love brotherly relationships more than romantic boring one
I downloaded all the episodes to watch it later on and enjoyed the story and maybe like the main couple on the way and when it came the time to watch it
I tried to like the main couple at first but it was too boring for my taste,, the same old romantic story in every single Xienxia drama out there nothing new or unique
I've tried to keep watching the main couple but I couldn't so I started skipping a lot,, I skipped a lot and I didn't regret it at all
because the story didn't move much until the two brothers came to it and it became about their relationship and the secondary romantic couples relationship,, then it became interesting and I started to enjoy the drama
I like the secondary romantic couple story so much more than the main and to be honest, the writer stalled the main couple and made them so boring and repetitive to the point of abandoning them to the secondary couple problem and their unique relationship
I loved how the two brothers loved each other despite being at odds most of the time,, and hated how stupid the evil brother was doing everything wrong for the one he loved so much his brother and his lover
He destroyed everything he had with his own blind vengeance
I really loved the kind loving caring brother and King hated how he was so passive in his own love relationship always forgiving always passive
The two different endings were equally bad
There was no happy ending
They killed one side of the story just to let the other one live so what's the point
Maybe I prefer episode forty to episode thirty nine because He Na lived and he suffered so much to die in vien
overall this drama is not very good in my opinion

Best chinese school drama ever , Best school drama since korean drama school 2013
I didn't expect to watch such a masterpiece in Chinese school dramait's close to real-life High school and students' Lives Everywhere
It doesn't get into the love lives of the students because they are too busy handling their own social problems and their struggles as high school students,, it shows a generation was mostly interested in schools and their families than their raging hormones,, Yet the drama showcases multiple problems the students face when they wanted to have romantic relationships
It handled many social and psychological issues that many students struggle with anywhere
the drama made us fall in love with the perfect teacher, the mentor, the big brother, and the leader
and also showed that he's human too has a past and has problems of his own
I loved how this drama struck every sense of humanity and responsibility in its stories
not one episode of Bordeom, no toxic people other than some bad people and they were diminished
not everything is in its Ideal state or ever good,, it's life with all its turbulence and peaceful times
I really can't stop talking about How good this drama is
if you watched it you won't ever regret it, ever
it's family drama no kissing scenes no adult scenes, no Too violent scenes
it touches on very sensitive subjects such as suicide and bullying
it doesn't go into deep with very troubled teens,, they are all regular teens with mild to somewhat serious social
issues but not too serious
maybe there were more serious issues to be addressed for high school students but they didn't go there

Hilarious , Light and Ridiculously funny fantasy drama that makes it interesting to watch
This drama started the first episode a very funny and hilarious start,, even the fantasy part was like a part of a fantasy gameI loved How handsome and quirky the main lead was,, I found it very funny every episode put a smile and laugh on my face
didn't take seriously at all and who would,, it's not serious in any way, It can be described as a parody of Idol's life
I enjoyed watching every episode,, didn't feel bored and didn't think too much about it, they tried to make it serious sometimes but didn't work because the main theme was fantasy so How could it be
I loved the main lead's character,, the actor made it so easy to love him and have fun watching what he does
I loved the friendship plot with the members of his band and how he bonded with every single one
how they became family and co-depended on each other
I loved the Bromance between him and that overly handsome Grim reaper LOL ,,, he's very adorable
The Romantice part of the drama wasn't that appealing to be honest,, it seemed forced sometimes and I couldn't feel
the chemistry between them but it was okay and they didn't have many romantic scenes,, one kiss in all the dramas' episodes
The happy ending was cheerful and very very happy
Loved the funny twist at the finale , it was satisfying
Overall, this drama is fun to watch
If you want to decompress and watch funny ,light not very serious drama,, this is it for you
you will have good laughs from it and watch few handsome young men as a bonus

Typical republican era drama But had it's good friendship Angsty scenes
I watched this drama for the male lead only and the trailer made it sound mystical and interestingfew first episodes of a slow-paced story then it picked up a little when the female lead started to become a decent person
not a psychopath
but there were new characters that has a lot of emotional baggage and a light-headed male lead started to love the female lead
There were some good Angsty scenes here and there was also the good male friendship between the male lead and his best friend, I stayed for their friendship,, didn't care about the romance, to be honest and there were multiple couples
overall it was enjoyable to watch sometimes and very boring other times so it's a mix of both
if you really like any of the actors you will enjoy it,, if you don't this drama will be a painful watch for you
There were a lot of family disputes and a lot of people getting injured and sometimes dying but to end up killing every single character in the drama and leave the male lead alone to his old age that's ridiculous and not fair
So decide for yourself whether is it worth watching or not

Funniest office Kdrama I've ever watched
So at first I thought it was ridiculous and superficial then I saw few clips on instagram and I laughed hard while I was so stressed out so I decided to give it another watch of the first two episodes ,, some scenes were meh but some others were just so funny to burst out laughing just because of the laugh it self ,, I loved how I laughed from it so It grows on me to watch ityou want find any thing deep or meaningful about this drama ,, not the romantic not the office work ,, it's similar to sitcom but it's not and it's decent not inappropriate as most sitcoms
the characters are acting out of normal scope to make you laugh that's it ,, a lot of exaggerations for the laughs itself
if you want to unload long day of exhaustion this is your drama to watch
I'm sad it's finished ,,I want more
I didn't rate it higher because the script was mostly clichés and it didn't purpose meaningful point other than laughing

This drama started from episode seven and ended on a big question mark finale
I was going to drop it out of desperation ,, first six episodes even skipping scenes nothing happening or nothing explained then thank god episode six it tried to move along a bit then episode seven the actual action starts and really it became interesting ,, I binged watched the last four episodes yesterday and all I can say this drama should be four or five episodes long only and it should have better director who can actually put time stamps on screen every time the characters jump through time rather than this oblivion that made us half of the time not following what's going onOf course it's the worst thing that a lazy writer can do is creating mystery without explanation at the finale what the hell he did in this drama ,,, it's either he doesn't have a clue what he actually wrote or he has some weird imagination that no one else can understand
time skip and time jumps without any time stamps or explanation and weird out of no where characters appearing at the end to say few words without any clue what the hell is going on
there are some fans who actually understood the drama and analyze it but even after I've red their breaking down of the plot
I'm baffled ,, the writer created problems and theories as he goes along ,, he changed the theories as he wants whenever he wants it to change
you can read this analysis your self here https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%93%9C-grid-explained-2022116/
thank you for the one who wrote it
I now don't understand anything more and I feel more stupid
overall it was meh drama not good but slightly entertaining

Waste of time so called Bromance drama ,, Worst plot ever
I watched it for the Bromance but they cut the actual Bromance scenes and edit the scenes horribly ,, people wore bruises out of no where ,,,the drama was draggy and laughable sometimes ,, the police force was just waiting for the undercover cop to give them all the information and that cop recruited the other one who became his friend later on ,, at the drama beginning it wasn't that bad and the friendship was kind of okey but after that it got worse and worse
they made the forensic female doctor the love interest of one of them and she kept laying in the hospital for most of the drama with her lover crying by her bedside ,,, he left the undercover case and his friend ,, he even left his grandfather who was sick also and his brother just stayed by her bed side or saving her or driving her to the hospital most of the time
The male lead who is the youngest one was a lone most of the drama trying to beat all the drug cartel which was all premature gang
all the members of the drug dealers were under thirty years old which raises the question when did they start dealing and became big boss of drug cartel at that age ,, pretty faces or eye candies and to hell with the logic for this drama
The police was just like us watching what's going on ,, they didn't help at all
the friendship was tested and failed horribly
also the last two episodes were the most illogical stupid ending ever
something similar to Indian movies where actors get riddled with bullets get blown up and thrown off the building then live without scratch
This drama is just waste of time unless you like watching punch of Idol like actors running around the whole drama for no reason at all
