The FL was amazing, the ml cute enough though I hated his and kwangsoos type castingSehun had so little scenes. Though I could proudly tell my mom that's our baby.
I don't like the other fl as an actress and I was meh about it but in the end it was cute especially sehunie's character being the cold chic dude softening up with her
The penguins were THE BEST. When the little dude slapped kwangsoo? Comedy GOLD❣
there were a couple of great Comedy scenes like when ML told kwangsoo to grab his neck amd kwangsoo strangled him🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tbh the graphics were cheap looking. Like pirates of the Caribbeans look better.. it just felt like they were on sets and in one scene the filter for the sky made a weird circle around fls head..

this is not my type of story though the "inspired by real events" always gets me. though the movie was not boring during the 2 hours, I still wished for a little more touching moments, and maybe angst but not devastation
like they could've bonded more during the night, they could've cooked together, the kids could've played together, the adults could've talked about books or music, something that gave the parting a more bitter feeling
I've actually seen a few movies like this, and I'm actually glad there was no sudden hidden evil because no matter what, there was too much evil there ;(
though I knew someone was bound to die, no wonder I liked Koo Kyo Hwan, he's the D.P cutie! that makes it sadder ;(
behind every conflict, behind every war, there's normal people who want normal things but they're in situations they can't control ;(
sad, heartbreaking, violent, scary, devastating and yet heartwarming and hopeful TT_TT

a sweet twist in a cliche story
I loved their time traveling concept, I don't think anyone did it before, they either travel and become their future/past or they act like different people. but this was a sweet story about self love, forgiveness and dealing with loss, whether it's a family member or a dreamthe romance started off as promising but the moment he changed cuz he knew "they met as kids" just ruined it, it took away any chance of development and just jumped into the last stages of "love", honestly even when they stood by each other I never saw them as anything more than sweet friends so I wasn't happy with the abrupt ending
Anthony was useless from start to end, he was such a waste of time, he starts off as a selfish jerk and suddenly he's thrown under a buss by using the current event of "celebrity bullying" and they ended it by ruining his career, making him retire then give up all of his money and opening a restaurant... that's not the answer. he was never in it for the acting so that fact alone makes his arc useless, that whole thing about him "finding" his passion for acting and chasing the writer for his role, all of it was gone
you can't just end it with that. his problem wasn't his past, he was a tiny looser bully that was beaten up by a girl, he was no threat, but worse he grew up and he always disrespected his staff and yet that all just disappeared and then they made the manager just like him. that sort of treatment to the staff is as bad as bullying ;/
anyway, even though KYK was a sweetie, the only good points were the hani's story and the OST.

Girls' Highschool Mystery Class

this took a while to get to the real core of the mystery, I think it was around ep7 when suddenly it picked up and from that point I couldn't miss a single moment that I binged this in 2 dayssince the mystery revolved around one big plot as apposed to both The Great Escape and Busted, they had too much empty time where they sat around and talked again and again about their clues and I think that was boring. they did 1 puzzle then talked about it for half an hour
but after the murder happened more and more tension and excitement happened
though to be honest, I'm way better than them xD kim ssam was obviously evil while poor dokgo ssam seemed nice (and totally forgotten! did he die?), and they took too much with some of the clues, like the sleeping gas thing, as soon as I saw the bottles even before knowing the ending I wanted to say "take that with you!", there was a scene like that in TGE and they actually planned ahead, but since most of these ladies never experimented "escape room" variety show (beside Park Ji Yoon, I've missed Crime Scene TT_TT)
and the whole flip switch as well, they just needed to tell jae jae the 8 sets and the 3 outside could've dealt with it by crossing out the ones that didn't match, visuals are easier than listening
they also need to separate them more often, there seemed to be obvious power struggle, bibi and yena felt left out (either the others wouldn't let them or they'd think they're not good enough), but both did pretty well on their own
Park Ji Yoon had more experiment so she tried to go the comedic side more, Jang Do Yeon as well is full on easy going she was ok with being smart or not
though I do wish they'd not use such hightones just to sound younger, we all know they're not teens and that's the funny part, they strained their vocals too much
otherwise Jung Jong Yeon never disappoints and it's always nice to see female centered plots

run around in cirlces
the show starts with the 2 mains fighting and breaking up, and they get into a fatal accident and the FL makes a deal to save her lovers life by breaking up with him, and as soon as she's back she doesn't want to break up anymore so the whole show goes around in circles with "let's breakup, I can't breakup" ;/honestly their romance was boring and so was their plot and in the end the ML makes a deal to save the FL and ends up in a comma alone then he wakes up, so like what was the point even ;/

a repetition of s1
the story and the pace were EXACTLY like s1. byul didn't want to do variety shows so she switched places with daeun and the evil bully teammate still bullied her while they added another guy bully and a male saesang ;/for one thing Shin Jun Seop and Park Bo Yeon can't act. their dialogues are awkward and their expressions are frozen. it didn't help that they gave Park Bo Yeon weird contact lenses and that just made her 0o0 expression worse..
Lee Ki Taek was better but after a certain point his character got creepy, there's a fine line between flirting and being clingy. for one he was smart so he knew she was dating Jung Woo and she friend zoned him several times while also telling him "no I'm not interested in you" but he kept using their work for skinship ;/
and when Yoo Hwa In seemed like the most normal one she turned out to be in a one sided crush with jungwoo too, and sure she didn't act on it or get jealous but at the end she seemed desperate to tell him "I like you but sadly you're taken"
also the things the saesang said was alarming. is it just for conflict or is what kfans really think? becasue they shouldn't normalize that. idols are not puppets or avatars...
jisoo was the best part but again it was just too similar to s1 but with a more solid relationship, atleast the fans and the media left them alone

Until I Meet September's Love

when the movie started it seemed out of place, nothing happened until this voice (that was obviously Takahashi Issei) tells the fl follow your neighbor, and suddenly there's a swooosh and the real explanation happens.Takahashi Issei really did a great job, he was his sweet usual awkward uwu but still he gave off a great confident smart guy vibes (that's until the climax)
Kawaguchi Haruna was a sweet calm type of fl, she heard a weird request but she didn't mind it until the voice disappears and she wonders "what the heck was that". so she talks to her neighbor and he mentions a time loop theory that honestly was so simple I'm still annoyed at those cheap attempts in TKEM.
but after the cute little dates while they hunt for answers, the self conscious side of Hirano Susumu jumps out and he breaks up with her, then to no ones surprise he realizes he's indeed the voice that saved her.
so they basically have this dramatic breakup, the fl lives her normal life while waiting for her d-day and boom the ml comes like, you were right, it was me and I like you. that was soooo underwhelming
then when she asks "why did your past self save me" he goes with "it was love at 1st sight".. so they never showed that 1st time alteration. sure he liked her, but like he probably witnesses her death and he'd be heartbroken, but why did it take him a year? why did he live in her apartment? how did he even know he could talk to her?
in the 2nd attempt he says "it's a miracle" becasue after changing his own fate he runs back to her house. but what did 1st attempt Hirano Susumu do? did the old landlord know something? I wish they elaborated on that instead.
like the breakup was unnecessary, though he did need a push to change himself, becasue he wallowed in self pity too much. so they could've just said, you follow your path and I'll meet you again when I find my dream like normal mature people ;D
the whole movie kinda felt like 2010s kdrama that I was surprised it came out in 2019, but again the time alteration was nice and the acting was better~

Han Jae In and Kang Yoon's story was horrible, he broke with her because he thought she was having a hard time, how smart ;/ so it was all a waste of time
Ha Neul and Ji Min were sweet but some point one would wonder did they like each other or did they just like liking each other?
haneul started the drama as if he didn't get over his bff, and jimin only wanted her fantasy guy, though it was cute that they started off as friends then slowly supposedly developed their feelings for each other.
it was nice to see Kim Sae Ron in a drama fit for her age, and it was I guess overall nice how they started off with a group of 4 that grew into 10..

I wish it was a full drama
basically the story was weak, and the writing was worse since they needed 1 extra ep to try and wrap things up but the overallness of it was nice..it had 4 of my favorite things, independent strong fl, sweet somewhat shy ml, sweet friendships and a rock band, but the delivery sucked..
the fl randomly opens a big cafe without hiring anyone and she can't even cook herself, so that's a recipe of dept and bankruptcy, then her brother scams these 4 aspiring artists so the fl gives them a job and they all randomly fit it.
one is a great cook, one is so hot he draws in customers and the other 2 do the coffees and dishes so their cafe becomes huge...
so like the fl from the start just needed to hire people and the fact that she didn't while the guys also randomly got scammed in that cafe was bad writing.
I wish they made it more casual. fl opens restaurant, fl looks for employees, the guys being starving artists apply as part time and boom the rest of the stuff happened.
also they wasted time on the hot guy's problem that they really didn't try hard to work on the romance between the 2 mains, eventough they were too cute.
plus who wants uncertain fame when they can mix their music and cafe and make it a live band cafe..

this was such a refreshing little unexpected gem~ it was sweet and healing but also too short and abrupt, I wish it was longer or they made a 2nd season ;(when the drama started I thought, ah Kuroki Haru and Takahashi Isse as a couple! but as ep 1 went by I wondered if he was a guest role, then if he was a 2nd lead, but the casting list confused me and I thought it was one of those 2ml gets the girl reversals, until each ep went by and slowly their stories opened up step by step.
in some ways everyone lives in their own bubble, or aquarium and in some ways we try to fit with others but every once in a while everyone needs a long vacation to better understand themselves away from the herd
but each vacation needs to end too and we need to step right back into society becasue the world continues to spin. in some ways the demolition of the little building was like forcing nagi to jump back into the world
each character had their own journey. and I think they did what was best, nagi finally saw the world from shinji's pov but still even if she ended her vocational self discovery, she still had alot of new experiences left in the outside world and I personally like to think after a while they could cross paths again as 2 more interdependent people who could swim alone besides each other (especially with Ryoko unexpectedly dating his brother xD)
overall it was sweet but I wished for a better in depth characters, but still I enjoyed it alot and I'll miss it~

I don't want to change my 1st ratings but I'd give this a 8.5 after the rewatchthe ending was way too rushed and sudden tbh, and Director Kim being her dad made me go "wth" xD
also I didn't remember this had a near sexual assault! though thankfully the made it a reversal point about her past self so it went by ok.
though I also think 2 things made things too complicated, 1- if the son got sick becasue they switched the mom and the fls "genes" and it disappeared once she went back, then wouldn't that mean the incident with the daughter and the fl protecting her didn't happen?
like how much do they remember? how many things didn't happen becasue they reswitched?
the dynamic between the fl and her new "husband" was funny, finally though a ml that was sweet and not pushed over by his wife (real wife) xD he really did love and respect her, and they seemed to have a nice healthy relationship even though they had a shotgun wedding as teens (don't know how old the ml was) maybe wait, he was same aged as yeonwoo cuz he said he went to her class? so 39? and his wife was 34. so they got married when she was around 18 and he was 22?
I think this was Song Seung Heon best work, he should do more sweet mature roles instead of the crazy or immature roles.

+ xingback approved female lead, as a teen or an adult I really liked the fl, she was normal and realistic
+ short but enough story
+ friends to lovers
things I didn't like
- the flashbacks, you'd not expect a short 8eped drama to repeat every scene ;D
- the cliche evil 2nd lead and the silly rumors ;/
- the inevitable breakup, though it was probably for the better, they were too young for a life long commitment

they had a lot of sweet moments as the two got to know each other, while they let Gong Joo have a separate life in school to build her a solid personality and friendships outside of her time with her sister and grandma that added depth to her as a person.
they had a nice amount of comedic elements and interactions with side characters that I usually find scarce in movies like this.
I did have issues with the ending, but since it was supposedly in 2000 I will ignore them. Kim Soo An was a little gem, she was really really amazing and her crying broke my heart the most.
it was also nice to see Chun Woo Hee, Choi Soo Young and Jung Yoo Jin in one movie, I wish they'd reunite in another project together.
the music was nothing special and I never rewatch stuff~

the plot was basically a chain of convenient events. girl likes boy, boy is nice to another girl, girl feels jealous and starts bulling other girl while guy is actually flirting with a 3rd girl ;/
I feel like if Xiao Mi bullied Yi Yao becasue she saw her get bullied by other people would've made more sense..
also, both Qi Ming and Yi Yao lived in the same exact neighborhood like 2 feets apart so I don't get why his parents were acting high and mighty..
and he was the worst of all, which was basically bad writings fault, he was friends with her but he never noticed she was bullied that severely? and he was in the same class as her. why? becasue he was so "in love" with Sen Xiang that he basically abandoned his childhood friend ;/
Gu Sen Xi was a cutie and the sweet type of ml that needs to be done more often. he was friendly yet awkward, and he was always there for Yi Yao. though they needed more, more depth to everything.
something I liked about these highschool chinese movies is that their actors are actually believable as teenage, I don't know if it's just becasue their fls are tiny and short or the fact that they film in a more zoomed fashion but I hate 20 or 30 year olds that look fit for uni act as highschoolers ;)
that running scene made no sense. (minor spoiler) the girl had coffee spilled on her and next scene she was chased by 3 shadows in an abandon area.. like how did she get there and why? (plus the subs didn't cover the texts so I kinda got lost on that part ;D)
the dubbing was so artificial they lost alot of emotions and they were plain robotic so I deducted that from "music", plus their ost was louder than their conversations.
I never rewatch stuff so it's either 1 or 10

"what kind of pie? spy?" xD
"you always wanted plastic surgery, it's your chance to become pretty now" xD
my favorite part was the fact that they actually used the female lead as more than just a hostage ornament, she was hilarious!
it's also kinda like the reversed vr of accidental spy. honestly, crime dramas are all mostly the same, but this didn't take itself seriously and most of it seemed improv xD
overall it was a fun watch and it's a great movie to watch with kids or during a self quarantine and you just want to shut your mind and laugh a little.
also, I think that was haon's song at the beginning, so the ost was nice ;p
