the story was nothing new, and they wasted too much time on the repetitive fight of the bad guys turning against each other, but my girl Im Hwa Young and her arc were nice enough, I wish they focused more on her though ;(those filthy bad guys meant to harm her from the start. they wanted to rape her or kill her just becasue she was a woman, honestly they all deserve what they got.
every time they threatened her she seemed unfazed and they thought she was just "crazy" and would never "dare" to kill them becasue she's a "fragile" woman, but joke was on them, she was a hitman? an assassin? whatever she was I appreciated it.
also IHY really showed a great balance between, weak, crazy and outright coldblooded murderer, I wish she gets the recognition she deserves!
the ost was nothing special and I never rewatch stuff let alone this.

I've been paying attention to the camera works lately, and I really liked their job here~ I think they did a great job conveying the tension, the fear and the thrill in this. tbh I am a slightly nervous shy person, so sometimes I get this heavy feeling in my heart before doing something like taking an exam (thankfully I'm done with that~) or presenting something in front of the crowd, so there's this feeling that everything is heavy? and things don't work out and you drop your phone or even trip. and I really liked how they handled that.
on the other hand they had the little small lies that seem so easy to tell, like when lyn's dad asked why she left to Sydney. but usually in dramas they just freeze and they get caught and it's over.
Aokbab Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying is so pretty! and I really loved her acting, tbh she carried the whole burden of this and made it work~ I love love love love a smart female lead! and I loved the ending too~ I also loved her voice ;)
Non Chanon Santinatornkul is cute as well and he did a great job, tbh his character was the saddest(?) and I really liked that touch.
overall I've not seen anything like this in asian drama/movie world and I was really entertained by this, and I'm so glad I'm trying new things~
I never rewatch stuff though I might try more of ACC's work, and the music was nicely timed and added well to the situations~

this is like a revolutionary drama~ a full on wonderful women's world drama! I loved all of them, I'm gonna miss it though I'd LOVE a 2nd season~
+ I loved all of the female cast! every single one
+ the drama was full of interesting diverse women
+ I loved the male casts too~
+ I just loved the whole "world"
+ scarlet and jihwan are my couple of the year~
what I didn't like:
- I'll be honest, I was over tammy's character and her relationship troubles.. she started off as a confident independent woman, but throughout she became a little selfish and self observed that I was worried if the show continued she'd just push everyone away with her arrogance.
- morgan was too perfect that even Chang Ki Yong seemed to have a hard time "connecting" to his character.. he did everything else well, the cute stuff and the flirting, but other times he was too, detached?
I'll blame these two points on the fact that all writers have a problem with showcasing a steady healthy relationship because they think it'd be "uninteresting"..
my rewatch values are either a 1 or 10, but I think now that I know the ending I'd love to rewatch it~

jerk male lead at his finest...
based on fans' reaction (that I'm not judging), one (ie myself) would think this is the sweetest romcom, but it's so frustrating. It's just 2 incredibly robotic, cold, dense and jerk MLs that bully the FLs and order them around.One forced a marriage proposal on the 1st date, never tried to get to know the FL, then bullies her repeatedly once he finds out she lied, and the get upset she dared to not like him or "get" how he's in love with her..
DUDE, you are not 5.. "harassing someone means love" is NOT a thing.. calling a stranger at 4am cuz your ego was hurt when she randomly compared you to a dinosaur is not ok.. (1st warning)
being rich doesn't mean people need to bow down and worship the ground you walk on.. then he goes and forces her to wear the tightest dress and make fun of her when she got uncomfortable wearing it... (2nd warning)
he severely bullies her at work, even if it was cuz she "lied", talk it out you idiot.. (3rd warning)
and worst of all were eps 5 and 6 when he 1st sulks that she's "not getting his hints of love (ie the bullying). and then he scams his way into dates WITHOUT telling her they were on a date, then again he's upset that she's there for the reason he lied about (final strike, THE WORST ML around....)
oh yeah, add in when he throws her out of the car (figuratively) when it was heavily pouring rain!!!!!!!!!
how hard would it have been to park infront of her, let her comfort him, then confess...
the FL is no better.. she acts like she doesn't take anyone's nonsense but she follows his orders too much. she doesn't call him on his bs. she was "happy" when he only tied her shoes. she didn't say "no this dress in too small". she took the bullying, even though it was workplace harassment. then after he throws her in the pouring rain, she "worries" for him, and in the end forgets everything cuz he swooped in infront of her shallow friends that won't believe a handsome rich man would date her
then the 2nd couple.. the FL fell too fast then keeps getting blocked by the 2nd dense ML who now thinks "he can't love" especially a rich girl or whatever..
robotic dense MLs are not appealing..
again, how hard would it be to "express" emotions? what world are we living in? toxic masculinity that encourages men to stay quiet, harass their love interest, hope she notices him and confess 1st? and say it's "boys being boys"?
I'm sorry but I prefer my men sweet, confident in their feelings, supportive and ready to love and make the FLs feel worthy

I'm a huge fan of supernatural fantasy.. I've read many many books like The Summoning, Vampire Academy, Echoes and many others plus tv shows like Tower Prep, No Ordinary Family and more. so I kinda have high expectations, and frankly I was not impressed by this.also, the shallow side of me preferred more effort on their uniforms, most high school dramas (korean and american) use it to distinguish the identity of each student, or use better quality fabrics. and they needed better hairstyles. kun and claire were the only kids with nice hair. taking care of your hair doesn't mean your rebellious or into fashion ;p
now to the spoiler part;
for one thing the lack of cgi or any type of effort was disappointing, sure most of their talents didn't need anything special, but the best thing they did was shine colorful light at people and called it "super powers".. maybe pun's identity crisis was their maximum level of cg..
on the other hand and the biggest disappointment was their plot of course... for one thing the villain was too 1d, and his only crime was that he mistreated the kids, which brings me to pung only wanting to "expose" the ranked system and the way the principle/ceo divided the kids.
I mean if you come across kids with special powers, why just make a shallow clique system? you need to build a whole school just for them and spread the "exam" that identify the kids to the whole country~ think big or go home ;p
also, they needed to teach the kids how to control their powers and improve. with this and a teacher like pom it was like releasing the power and letting the kids figure it out on their own while the other students became collateral damage.
I also really disliked their repetitive episodic pattern, they'd show 1 kid realizing their potential, just to get in trouble with the side effects and throw in some angst and it's over, then on to the next one...
what was the point of the class? it only gave them benefits over superficial luxury.
fast forward towards the end, and boom we have a villain that can't get to the point, tbh I find it weak writing when I get the point 3 mins before the character actually says the punchline... I figured out pom was just a puppet, and his story ruined the character for me, his friend could've just talked it out..
on the other hand I also figured out ceo guy had the same powers the moment he stopped the pawns, but it took them +5 mins for him to say it as if it was a twist.
on the other hand Teacher Ladda seemed suspicious, like the time she told the reporter girl "you'll forget everything" I thought she had powers too or she was an anti gifted club so she wanted to take their powers away or something but no she was just a tool too..
overall they tried to be clever but the plot was simple..
now, I did like the powers and their side effects, though I didn't like the background story around each student beside Mon. they had 2 guys that fell for the wrong girl so they became angry, and one girl that wanted everyone to love her and a few others, but Mon had a strong attachment to her sports club and friends and her side effect was the saddest one tbh...
I don't have much to say about the acting, and the ost was just mediocre, plus I never rewatch stuff. I might also not bother with a 2nd season unless it has a better production quality~

It had great acting, almost like a sequel to Mr sunshine and the continuation of future problems
really great acting, heavy plot, in ways, knowing a bit here and there of korean history, their past that led them here, and the future which comes in movies like Best Friend, things make sense
they wanted to change but it wasn't the right time and as samsik said, it was like the pebble that effected the future
really tho actingwise they deserve daesangs and many awards
once power and scheming happens, it became a man’s world, and greed, double crossing, changing sides, scheming, they did have two interesting female characters, in a pool of 20000 men
1960s tho, this was also pre “communist” labeling so I guess, no matter who was “good” and “bad”, things continuing escalating
It has A+++++ lvl acting🧐 so I don’t regret watching and staying , I have no idea what was happening, worse than money game and their financial money talk

Great cast, interesting timeline, intense battle scenes and good dynamics but it lacked a bit more character presenceI had to pause a few times, the tragedy lvls were high, the fight scenes intense, the strategies and counter attacks were impressive tho I have two comments later
And eventho they had good dynamics, frenemies, lovers, families, girl power, mentors, but it did lack a bit in laying out characters and deeper backgrounds, everything was superficial, understandably cuz the fight scenes were the focus, but it was a fine line between just a battle vs the emotional attachment
My NJK, idk if this was before his acting improved or if his stoic silent presence lurking in the background but I wouldn’t mind calling it a characteristic cuz he was “young” and not miraculously the hero
solhyun improved since my country, paso was as soft and cute as my sweet monster, my Stephanie ;( not enough scenes
I also didn’t notice at first that they were “protected” by the mountains from the back so eventho their castle size wasn’t big they had many resources
their counterattacks were impressive, every time it looked like there's no hope, they outsmarted their emenies
baekha should've poisoned her arrows, to get that close with so many ppl around was even less possible than what paso did
same with manchun. if your arrow has less than 1% chance, you should atleast hope a scratch can kill
then about the tunnel, eventho they didn't realize it sooner cuz they knew their sands the best, like the hill wasn't discreet, it took 3 months, so they should've thought of counter attacks faster, but couldn't they tie ropes and pull the pillars? like everyone even non army's could've pulled 😭
so that sear(?) betraying them made zero sense, like yeah kill more of your ppl and say "that's the only way we can not die.."

The good:Short, 30mins, 8eps👍🏻
Unexpected friendship and slice of life
Takahashi in curly hair and his low voice 😫
The bad:
Idk I need non cute smiley japanese fls
2ml was a bit too clingy for my taste, eventho he had a good heart
Labels restrict us, tho it is good to know yourself and understand the whys "why don't I feel/act like everyone else", but ml was basically in a cage of solitude. And is it enough to say he can't feel/want love? He was scared and found satisfaction in his "castle"
I labeled myself shy and awkward, when I meet someone new they don't know that but I end up choosing to hide behind those labels and those it's hard to connect and reach out to ppl. Basically we program our minds into a cell
I found the ending discussion a bit hard to follow. He was sad, cuz he didn't wanna be lonely. Or moving to a new step just scared him? Or did he wanna stay with her?
Companionship, isn't love but wanting someone around. It doesn't change if he liked certain aspects of that persons personality
And fl saying she'll stay in his house.. I mean it felt more out of convenience for her, even if she meant to say his safe spot won't disappear..

Tbh it teaches kids a bad lessons too, hero....
tho mostly what school leaves their roofs and windows open? In our school we liked to open it fully cuz in winter it'd get too cold so we didn't open the ac and just opened the window but the school ppl found out and locked it🤣
They tried too hard, 90% was nonsense fillers
Ml was not right, white hair took money to bully bullies.. fl kept threatening ppl with her gun..
But everything fell on the 2ml :/
The paramedics were there, the teachers should've heard something
But no, the whole school lied obv, and the cops let them be
They tried to pull a misty, but the double personality was hilarious. I'd have preferred an accident or like misty a real psycho, but he was brainwashed and had multiple personality disorder

Nana was great everything else suckedI accidentally watched ep7 instead of 6 then went back but I did stop around the mid point cuz it lagged on me and it was clear what will happen since I knew how it ended
And I had both eps on x2
Basically as I said, they had 1 plot, two side plots and the revenge
She shouldn’t have been blamed for the first murder I actually didn’t pay attention but the cutting especially
And the mom was just as trash as her son.. no matter the events, he did rape her.. she defended herself and her future from him
Anyway the whole point is men are trash

The cgi
The way the cgi represented the mental illnesses
Park boyoung’s acting all around and her character 👍🏻
My JDY🫶🏻
Old guy, nurse?
The bad
Not as deep as they thought they were
Love triangle 😮💨
Romance wasn’t the focus but it was triple the dragging point
Annoying rich guy poor nurse🫡
Fls “romance” flirting method by repeatedly repeating what the ml said with oh yeah, oh right, cutely over and over again 😬
Eventho short I zoned out multiple time
The patients were horrible actors I couldn’t connect at all

Empty plot and waste of time , she gained three life lessons in her 15 years of solitude. Two of which she kept repeating over and over againNear the end she repeated those again and mom was like skiiiipppppppp
And worse are the crazy fans saying “is thinking a luxury” whenever someone criticizes this flat writing, it’s funny even writers are “excused” like the foot actor oppas
Of course if the plot sucks, it’s the writers fault
It’s not my fault for not being smart enough to see something that’s not there, which is a well written coherent plot🫥
They had zero plot and made it worst with their stupid conflicts
The dad better not die, the abuser should tho
Beside that stupid angst, how the heck did they not see him coming from the front, especially if he got close enough to stab, and the way they filmed it to not show how it was done is cuz they knew they were being illogical

It was good, different but draggy
This is kinda metaphorical, depression that he can’t remember his happy momentsCan’t sleep so she can’t gain money cuz of stress
Shy that can’t look at people cuz the eyes are the window of the soul
And I guess she was so full of herself that she put herself down
but the execution is a bit too slow, it took me three months to finish, I mean it wasn’t frustrating or bad, but it wasn’t amazing either
So like what I said before, it was symbolic but they could’ve done it so much better
For exam the sister’s story should’ve moved faster, especially since it took her one ep to fully shed the remaining weight, and her whole story was about self love so going back to the cheater was the worst part
and her cuteness with "the uncle" would've been a better focus, she never had to let go of her love or what her ex represented.. so it was a waste of time, instead, they should've shown her falling for "the uncle" , and realizing self love and a good relationship can heal
He was never supposed to save his wife, or his hyung, which is annoyingly sad as it was what controlled years of his life.. so his wife did die because of him, when he was always meant to move on with someone else
everything was “set in stone” even every time he went back it was never a choice
That’s why the end sucked, the thing that hurt the dad all this time was going back in time and getting stuck, and we have the mom go and say “I lost something 5 or welp 18 years ago” and the kid poofs and saves him?
Like how risky was it to have a 5 year old go into that fire for his dad?????

fun crazy, not overboard
I really liked this, it was different, crazy, the comical timing was on point, a makjang in events but still entertaining and not too over the top gore or extreme traumaticI’ve been scared by old kmovies, like some just go outside the human capabilities of evil and imagination just for the sake of being different and special but it’s just disgusting, and this wasn’t
the movie starts with our "stalker" ml, it's not a happy movie with "good" people
as we dive deeper, we realize ml isn't the worst of the evils, but not everything goes as planned and it keeps creating more problems
Like for the lvl of crazy they had, they also had that unbelievable trust of the cop lady to balance it out
later with the twist, the villain is always 10 steps ahead but our scared unhinged ml doesn't do things as "planned" and it creates more and more problem
But it wasn’t rainbows and sunshine, she didn’t trust him out of the goodness of her heart, and she wasn’t picking sides
if they were real psycho they'd have the ml fall for the fl and make it more nitty gritty but it didn't, it wasn't obsession, it was fascination and he loved infos not her

best way to start 2024
historical dramas lately follow the "text book" to the T. everything feels the same so this was a breath of fresh airthe good,
strong female character
sweet adorable male lead
great noona romance*
secondary couple*
*yeah romance wasn't the focus, and non romance genres have the best romances ;(
everyone was smart
no unnecessary misunderstandings
the bad guy being nice to his family, I actually had a hard time because old historical "ministers" looked the same, so when he was nice at home and evil at work, it took me a while to realizes that was him
the husband was a cutie ;(
the bad
it was short
the ending felt a bit rushed
not enough romance
the grey
the "age gaps" were great in both couples, but becasue the fl was strong and independent, the ml was overshadowed, though it gave us a great "fl saves the day", I wish he had more scenes with his work to highlight him more, though they did highlight his pure heart well
