This film starts out a little weird but doesn't take long to get into high gear and the minute Hyun Woo appears things are already starting to heat up. We see these three North Korean spies living their boring lives in South Korea.
Kim Soo Hyun has been playing the role of a "pabo" (fool) and tries hard every day so his cover isn't blown but he's already been there for two years without receiving a mission. It makes him feel dejected but when his fellow spy Park Ki Woong enters the same neighborhood they start being friends again.
Ki Woong is under the guise of a musician who has to enter an idol rock contest and even though he tries hard to be in his guard and act tough and rude to everyone, it's apparent there's more to his character and also that he does love music and really wants to win the competition.
While these two are still just figuring things out another spy enters the picture. Lee Hyun Woo, the kid Soo Hyun saved a long time ago, has also been trained as a spy now and is way more intense and brings so much dark humor to the scene! I love how they kept having to mention "don't kill him ok" because clearly that's how he's been raised. It's like they say once their unit was trained like that, for them to become animals.
So, yes , there is a lot of dark humor, and EPIC dialog, and EPIC cinematography, and EPIC soundtrack so whatever happens feels so REAL that's the only way to explain it. Expect a lot of blood, gritty scenes, and darkness. That last fight seriously I have no words to describe it. It's so so BEAUTIFUL just, it will mess with your head.
The dynamic between the three main leads where Hyun Woo idolizes Soo Hyun and how Ki Woong and Soo Hyun pretty much act like parents to the trigger happy much younger Hyun Woo, sigh I just fell in love with them so bad.
The way they fight their own selves, having conflicting feelings about honor, loyalty to the country, and their innocent love for each other, it will make you insanely happy and also make you cry.
Seriously all the actors did their job phenomenally. The writing it's heartbreaking and sincere. Kudos to the creators for making such an amazing film.

But there is a next season so hopefully somewhere in the future we'll see more of him. Anyway, tbh I want this series to have many more seasons! Also, this show is way more um "naughty" ^_^ to use a polite term, than anything in Bad Romance or anything else Asian, so there's that.
Seriously the skin ship will make you blush and want for more, I love that :') Also, there is no comparison to Bad Romance production value wise and content wise. Where Bad Romance is more guilty pleasure fun this one is really deep and the dialog Bad Romance had its moments no doubt but this one is all epic moments.
As for the main characters I totally enjoy Yihwah and her antics. She and Cho made me totally root for them in Bad Romance. Since this a prequel and the focus is more on Knock and Korn you get more of their story. Asian romance can get dark without breaking out of the rom com feel and honestly it totally works for me.
What I love about Knock and Korn is that despite Knock being confused about his sexuality, because he feels love for Korn without reason you can never say that Korn is loving him pointlessly. It's not a shallow relationship from either side.
They both love each other and can't be without one another. It was so amazing to watch them go through the highs and lows of their happiness and heartbreak without ever hating the other person. The way they knew everything about the other person and how they missed them when they weren't around.
Seriously, just go watch. It's amazing.

This movie is a sheer masterpiece. It doesn't walk around cliches to force laughter and keep you engaged by trickery. It's a narrative that relies on visual story telling and dialog that will cut through your soul and force you to look at the world you keep ignoring.
It's not a coming of age story as much as the retelling of the very moment you become a pawn in someone else's game. The actors delivery is so on point, it becomes a grueling performance. It's the story of people who want to be heros, without realizing the sheer brutality of their world.
Ji Soo was the main lead, plays a young man who is not happy with his best friend's (Kim Junmyeon-Suho) decision to go to the military because of his grandmother's destitute financial situation. The entire first part is about Ji Soo convincing Suho not to go just yet so they can all go together. But Suho doesn't like the idea of his grandmother having to still work to pay for his tuition.
These two and two other boys also best buddies, all four of them decide to go on a drive and have a great time before their lives change forever and before they have to say goodbye to their friend for a long time. It's all kind of bittersweet and neither of them are able to convince Suho to stay.
They get drunk and are having a good time, when in their own car they see some odd movement in the car parked in front of them. Thinking the couple are making out, they all joke about it but suddenly the couple are outside the car and the man starts to viciously beat the woman.
Neither of them know what to do, and are cautious about getting out but Ji Soo has had enough of it and instead of listening to Suho, he ventures out and gets in the man's face stops him from hitting the woman. They start having an altercation and the other friends join in and they all try to get the man to stop but he continues to be violent and Ji Soo gets violent himself and it turns into a battle.
I feel like what happens next is something you should experience without spoilers.
All in all, this movie is a creative work of art that deserves more recognition and should not be avoided just because it's not a happy story.

I'm getting real tired of the slut shaming. Especially Stud's character ffs *SPOILER ALERT* HIS MOM DIES CAUSE HE SCREWS A RANDOM GUY.Calling people who don't have money and a job losers and judging people who want to have casual sex it just became too much. I honestly thought there was a little more character development this season but the overall shallow plot, and all this combined pissed me off. I couldn't really enjoy it.
At least WTD was bad in some ways but it has a better plot and characters and Stud is no Rambo.
Because Rambo did a lot of stupid shit but he loved Mew's character and you can feel his obsession, and honestly I hated Mew's character then for being a dick. Plus WTD skin ship makes you sweat lol I still go rewatch Mew Art and Both NewYear scenes there's even a three-way ffs xD whereas this was lacking in that department too.
And listen I don't just want bl couples from a BL either I watch plenty of het stuff especially romance I pretty much prefer Thai lakorn or series like Boy for Rent and Endless love 3 will be free but even the het couples in this one are just as lame and boring even the badass Boom was so tame this season. I don't get it.
The make out scenes were so basic.
That's why the low rating.

A Gift to the People You Hate

Honestly good idea but bland execution. Most of the supporting cast was over acting and the camera work was nothing exceptional and the script was really good at times but it seriously lacked the darkness it promises in the first few episodes. The way they did the shop it was brilliant, and every arc surrounding that mystery was really good but the rest was lukewarm at best.
I mean all my favorite actors they ruined the viewing experience especially Fiats story line was such a mess! What were they even thinking? He went from being a perp to being a victim so there should have given some explanation for his obsession with Mek's sister Prang but he would just conveniently pop up and then gone and even the way they decided to end his arc was just ridiculous and a complete waste of an actor and BLAND.
It's a horror drama ffs! And you show everything offscreen?! Then don't call it horror! Then Mek and his sister I was really into their story and the Ploy - Supasit plot was seriously so STUPID it bugged me and that was like most of the drama so WHAT THE ACTUAL F. And Supersits character was OBNOXIOUS which is fine if you want a one dimensional villain but then he keeps going all soft in the middle for his daughter like WHAT. Why are you giving this waste of space more screen time and you're asking me to buy his bs after what he did to Ploy?
And all the vigilante nonsense was just as boring and pure nonsense.
The only reason I stayed after the Fiat debacle was because in the last few episodes the plot became Toni-centric. And like I said the writing isn't even an issue it's the way they added so much boring stuffing. But I have to say that ending was ON POINT without a doubt. Clever, unique and twisted. Which is more than I can say for the rest of the show.

I really wasn't expecting it to end so good.
This is basically another memorable Dong Wook role, seriously, those last two episodes the way he was acting, was just incredible!
Si Wan too was just so good in the last two eps and they were brilliant, no doubt.
This drama is on par with Save Me as far as I'm concerned because the role played by Lee Jung Eun of the eccentric building owner Eom Bok Soon was just a beautiful performance like the cult leader preacher from Save Me. Honestly, it will give you chills and creep you out but the actor she played it so naturally. We all know an ahjumma like that right, nosey, and no respect for privacy and always making you uncomfortable and making you feel bad for something completely rational, basically the ultimate gaslighter.
But okay, I already said this before, it's not perfect and in the middle it sort of lost its place, for about two episodes but I don't need perfection.
I'm glad that they took a risk making something that would make some people uncomfortable because it's not a chaebol romance or comedy action procedural, they made something serious. That alone is commendable. But then they chose the right cast and except for the lull in the middle everything else was done well.
The plot twists were clever and unique. The dialog was brilliant! ! The camera work was ART and it's all so realistic the ambiance becomes a part of the storytelling. So, yes. I'm really happy with the way it ended.

Voice 3: City of Accomplices

So the plot twist fuccccccc I definitely liked this season more than second but season 1 is still my fave I'm afraid overall I don't think I can rate it higher than 7.
The one major issue I have with Voice is the lack of villain's screen time. It makes for a very average viewing.
Merely prolonging the case making the villain appear at the end after the countless episodes of only their "shadow" then however you deal with them makes it unsatisfactory.
That's my biggest gripe with the show.
Otherwise this season had a lot of gore and angst way more emotional than the second one.

I was crying so much when it ended!
Seriously Joseph did a fantastic job playing Wu Xie, one of my absolute FAVE ULT CHARACTERS and that's why the ending was so devastatingly beautiful and intense cause you know in your heart you're basically breaking up with the cast ㅜㅜ
And boy did he look SMOKING HOT in those shirts every time he took off his coats and sweaters, bruh those forearms, and just the way he's built he's FIT.
And okay I ASSURE YOU despite that Wuxie Ning story line THIS ONE IS SO MUCH GAYER LOL THAN OTHERS and I loved every second ^^
But okay now for my second favorite character, which used to be Fatty or Qi Ling - BLACK. I was HOOKED when Baron Chen played it in Providence and this time Liu Yu Nang aka Hou Du from long ballad played it so well! In fact both Liu Yu Nang and Yu Han as Xiao Han (Yu Chen) their bromance was just as epic as Xie - Qi Ling.
In fact, if I'm being completely honest I MIGHT HAVE DONE SOME WUXIE - XIAO HAN SHIPPING you know when they were solving the riddles together and getting angsty and hurt ㅜㅜ like that whole 'neither of our lovers are here tonight' vibe they had
And omg fatty and his mpreg jokes about Wu Xie doesn't he know he's just giving us ideas lol like that wouldn't even be Fatty's baby ffs okay I'll stop
Seriously well written script and the ending was so much more like a proper ending even though Xu Kennedy don't do proper resolution of arcs so by now I'm used to it, you know take it or leave it
Xu Kennedy loves leaving us stranded even his main 'bromance' is one naive sweet boy and a super hot ghoster ffs and Black is basically Qi Ling with one liners lol let's face it he ghosts the characters just as much.
So, after every season I have to break up with the cast and its brutal and this time it was no different! And I hated it.
Will for sure re watch again soon!
