the characters in this were really well developed, Kyung Mi was a normal fragile girl next door but that didn't mean she was not capable.she was smart, she was scared and she was so sweet hearted honestly she was too precious!
Kyung Mi's mom was also smart, honestly most movies make the female characters too naive or dumb and easily fooled but both mother and daughter used their brains and they communicated.
there were small details in their relationship that made them so endearing and believable, like the mom pulling Kyung Mi behind her as if that tiny fragile older lady can "shield" her taller youthful daughter, but it was such a mom thing to do
Do Shik as a psychopath was so captivating, psychopath's lie and he did it so well, like the way he switched characters to fit the scenarios and make the public believe him and even get away with the murder he reported, that was a great move
it also made his downfall even more satisfying.
Jong Tak and his sister felt underdeveloped, tbh even that full long running sequence mixed with him getting fooled and leaving Kyung Mi the 1st time made me reduce my points because that was obviously a ploy for the length of the movie
it's not bad, like the movie happens in "one night", if not even around 4 hours. Kyung Mi and her mom met, the psychopath came in, they went to the station, he followed them home at around 12am
the saddest part was those army kids.. if you see a scared girl, you don't return her to the guy that's following her, even if he played it well and pretended to be her worried brother. heck I've helped lost kids at the mall find their parents and I still wait and check if that's their parents even if just by action, I'm not anticipating a kidnapping but when someone cries and can't talk, you need to observe the situation
I also loved those danger poles, I hope those are real, I've never seen a movie brave enough to add that especially since it can "solve" the chase. though in this case it added depth to the struggles of people with hearing impairment.
though I didn't like how people almost treated her like she's dumb or like a kid. she just couldn't hear or talk, there was no problems with her coherent thoughts
though it also does add the depth of how people treat "different" people
as for the "music" I really loved the times they showed how the world "looked" like from her silent pov, that was a great touch and overall I think the director used the deaf part to enhance the story, and not made it an excuse for the hero to fall. I also liked how they had their phones with them

It literally started at point zero. They went through all the revenge setup cliches that it was agonizing to watch, BUT it improved alot as it went by.
My favorite part was Yi Seo. I'd not have watched this if it weren't for her and I'd have totally missed this cliche yet rare gem. she was everything, strong, independent, she stood up for herself, she had alot of aegyo and though she was not "perfect" she did grow and improve as time went by (also she could easily kill someone and get away with it xD)
But the 2nd fl had her own charms too. They were both like parallel opposites. One was driven, and one took things slow, a little too slow :)
SRY is actually my 2nd least favorite male lead type (the 1st is of course the jerk).
He was naive. Stubborn. 1 minded. Driven by revenge. a little hard headed like a rock, BUT he didn't let that ruin or control his life, tbh this might be the most rational revenge plot ever xD
His stubbornness and 1 mindedness was also his charming point. He saw the good in people and he gave them a chance without being fickle about it. He didn't let others sway him but he did listen to the voice of reason.
This was not a romance drama nor was it a love triangle.
Sure they had a love line, and the usual 2 fls and 3 mls (ie the double triangle), but there was no rivalry. No hate. No angst. No one fought for attention, everything just happened naturally and -a little too- slowly xD.
I wonder which points were made by the drama writers and which parts where done by the webtoon writer. The development of the plot seems like a kdrama move while the well layered characters feel like a webtoon move :)
this was not plot driven or character driven, but the characters saved this from becoming another useless drama..
the ost here was gold, Lee Chan Sol, Gaho, Ha Hyeon Woo, SONDIA, Kim Woo Sung, Kim Feel and the others all set a great mood throughout the drama~
I don't rewatch dramas so it's always either a 1 or 10 :)

fantasy that forgot it was fantasy
we need more "ahjumma" centered dramas, like dear my friendsThe good
I’m glad this year there were plots that lets ahjummas shine (also connection)
MLs cute smiles
the sweet and alive parents
The meh
I love eunji, tho yeah her character ?
Murder mastery plot twist, tho the murderer?
The bad
It was practically an office drama
Drrrraaagggy
Eventho ml had cute smiles, the romance was non existent
Which makes me think if they got together sooner and stuff, it’d have been even duller
Tbh without mom, I’d not have continued ?
eventho it was "fantasy" it was just practically just an office drama
they kept the double identity a secret and lost half the charm, the only fun parts were when Ju Byeong Deok saw the idol with the ahjumma
I would interpret not telling him cuz she was involved in “identity theft”
And sure she didn’t tell her parents cuz she wanted them to think the job she got was hers
But I wanted her to empathize that a bit more especially since she was stealing her aunts identity
But I never felt like she was feeling any remorse or guilt for that and she just didn’t want them to know or actually feared that, she was just ok living life like that
Her father was in danger just cuz he went to the murderer on his own
Which is stupid cuz why would’ve he “hired her” to look for his sil when she was just a “waitress”??♀️ then go back to her when she never found anything ?
The villain didn’t know her identity until she saw the pic on his phone, she just knew the face she never knew the name
So yeah the story didn’t have any solid writing and every ep was a filler?

for me the only good parts were these: jiho's personality. it's so rare to have a shy ml in dramaland. tho they did treat him like a freak, it's like the dude didn't like what "insa" people liked, but was he a psycho? no..
he just didn't like attention, or crowds, or fake social behavior to please other people. he was not "traumitized". sure he had a bad past but not every "social slowness" is a faulty personality
and yes, by now you've guessed it right, it's personal xD I'm shy, socially awkward, and slow with the fun hangs, but I'm not an idiot with a rock head.
as a kid I did say no alot, and in uni I changed it to a "hmm yeah". because I didn't really wanna do it but I also didn't not want to do it
here, especially with the drinking, or the wedding preps at the end, jiho didn't "like it", maybe he is stuck in my no phase but sangeun wasn't really considerate, she wasn't pushing him out of his shell she kept dragging him out then kinda making fun of him, "teaching" him he should "be like other people"..
so I personally didn't think they matched. like again the wedding prep, he was ready to put himself through the struggle cuz she said she wanted a big wedding, and she didn't listen when he said he didn't want it big. then she goes and says she was doing it for him
anyway, atleast with jiho his shyness and lack of social personalty didn't come with low self esteem, doubt, self consciousness and ready to escape
no drama can survive that way so all of those traits went to saguen ;D
I'm glad he always said he'll never misunderstand her and he'll wait for her pov before making a judgment, that's 1000000 lvl male lead behavior~ also he was never shy or reluctant in showing intimacy which is another +A move
gwangnamah was a sweeite, it's nice to have male characters without ulterior or obsessive behavior towards the fl, most fl "brother zoned" end up with a secret 10 year crush
he was a good person, had his own life, worries and dreams, he could easily get a spinoff where he finds happiness, love and acceptance
another point I liked was the past childhood connection, and the ones that did have them ended in divorce or one sided crush which heavily highlights how a person is different from what one projects on them
I did however dislike the 5 year "eating mate" with 0 attempts at conversation and honestly the whole drama was flat with zero substance, I'd have tbh preferred them preparing for a wedding, looking more at "what people do to please others who think one should do that" while trying to navigate happiness and marriage. I also wanted a scene with a baby to show he's not afraid to show affection and she also adored her baby and stuff life that
anyway, I only started it for a mom watch, and stayed for her + jiho and tbh the last like 40mins were my favorite part of this drama xD

picture perfect couple that should've stayed as a picture
if I start with the good I'll stay they were the perfect couple, well not THE perfect couple, but the perfect visual couple. they were so cute together, they made me wish I was a petite girl in love with a tall guy with broad shouldersand that was it, they were just so beautiful together, and not to be shallow but their kiss scenes were better than their relationship
the bad? EVERYTHING. everything was a waste of time... every plot was garbage (excuse the language) but I really just couldn't care less about the: crazy CRAZY 2FL that just SCREAMED until my ears bled, she was so crazy she just wanted to force a guy to love her, then they get over it and she's all normal..
the useless spinless 2ML that wasted the FL's time, he was disgusting, and they tried to force us to feel sorry for him, and they added such horrible sob story with his dad, I HATED IT
the useless creepy boss was just so cringy and the older sister was too frozen
the 2nd sister was so dumb and then they pulled a "the dude is gay and is after her husband" as if that's a plot twist ;/
then the sick mom, the abusive dad, the running EVERYTHING was a waste of time
and I even skipped, full on skipped all of that and I still knew what was going on.. this is in no way directed at the actors/actresses but this writer is full on black listed
oh yeah, the only reason I stayed was to hear Won Jin Ah's beautiful deep voice, I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE HER. also the age gap should've been +5, the way they tried to make it a 2 year age gap made zero sense. the ml was too childish and at times the ml was like a mom to him.

But I feel like if he was the girl, and she’d be bored and annoyed at the cold ml, and waiting for his death to get his money, that’d shake things up more
But if it was that way. They’d call her a gold digger like the impossible heir and hate her
Honestly the plot around the two leads is nice but this does not need “24” eps, ie 16eps of one and a half hours
Every other character feels like an afterthought to drag it out
I keep watching half the ep then continuing and watching a bit of the next ep
I’m liking her kind side but ml is 90% worse than her cold self, we don’t know more but her actions around that room was 100% a wall and cry for help, meanwhile ml just walked away
Koreans passed crazy and became psychos with weight
Fl “omg I gained 3kgs, I thought you’re supposed to lose weight when sick”..
First off girl be happy your illness didn’t make you ill for the last 6eps ie “8hours”
Fl “I’ve been pretty all my life what if I turn ugly before my death”
Yeah so gaining 3kgs makes you ugly and she barely has time to gain +10kgs…
Fl “you’ll only remember my ugly (fat) face”
Girl…. Your mind is ugly… literally nothing changes, no saggy skin, no hairloss, no inability to move… which wouldn’t even make her ugly…
Ml “I’ll love you no matter your weight”
She didn’t gain 30kgs.. which again wouldn’t make her ugly…
Fl “I’ll stay gorgeous until I die”, fl proceeded to move and flap her arms aggressively to, lose weight

Disgusting, I'm not even talking about the blood
right from the moment the movie starts, even before a scene comes up, they start with the most disgusting chewing sound and it keeps happening all through the 40min I watched.. they keep chewing and slurping so loud while talking I just couldn't take it anymore...I never got the reason why audio directors choose to do such an uncultured move, it adds nothing to the plot beside showing how disgusting those characters are.. gangs have no manners fine but spare my poor ears...
talking about the plot is was nothing special. non of the reviews make sense but atleast the ratings reflect better. they had nothing but gangsters nagging and being disgusting while the ML and FL brooded over stuff.
it's ironic, I've seen many movies with blood and gore but maybe as I grow up I realize I don't need to to force myself through something added just to look edgy
many movies dealt with it better, they added blood well enough without it being thrown everywhere
now for the only good points, the acting was great on both leads, they had great charisma, sadness with a touch of naiveness from the ML, but I'm assuming he'll avenge the people who killed his sister and niece, and the FL joins him and alot of random shootings will happen, then the evil guy will turn out to be his boss or whatever...
the lighting was also nice but that was it..

This vs Sweet Home
there's no need for comparison, but I'll do it anyways~for the plot, this was a flat mess, they had too many characters with zero emotinal attachment...
the main reason I stayed was Kim Ok Bin. I've only seen her before in The Villainess and briefly in Children of a Lesser God. I can't remember her in the 1st one though I briefly remember the plot and I dropped the later cuz of her (and the ML's) high pitched tone, so here I actually really appreciated her beautiful calm voice and persona. as a cop I approve
in sweet home, they had so many characters but each of them felt real, from the sweet church boi to the horrible wife beater, each were a piece in the big puzzle
here, they had the cop, the ex cop, the kid (added for cheap emotinal grab), the teen (added for cheap sad lonely misfit), the teacher (that was connected to the teen for cheap revenge plot), the doctor (for cheap last minute conflict), the shaman and her annoying inferiority complex, the creepy self centered human monsters, another kid, another teacher, a police dude and his pregnant wife, and basically my point was, everyone was a piece of a puzzle cut in a square just to make the picture bigger (ie more ep count) and easy skippable plotlines
this was one of those cases "less ep cuz they knew they couldn't drag it out too much"
the ost is beautiful and I never rewatch stuff

it should've been Captain Jang focused
this was like a westernized korean movie, or a koreanized western movie?the cast was so "diverse" that the only koreans were the 5 mains with 2 "guest roles" and so it felt like the mixed A listers with C listers and they lost alot of substance by casting "basic" foreigners.
though in some ways I did appreciate the "inclusivity", man I wish I knew/tried to audition as Pierre or the cop Kim Taeri threatened ;D
Storywise it was pretty basic too, they went with the -cheap- easy way out and chose a really simple "heartwarming" approach by adding a kid and tbh I am a sucker for adorable babies that need protection which leads to familymance, but the backstory for Tae Ho really ruined it.
I don't know how they tried to make him seem like a hero when he was a horrible person.
he used to kill people for UTS until he met the baby he adopted but he lost all of his money and statues and he turned into a drunken gambler. he even mistreated his daughter to the point he pushed her away to her death. (and before that he took her with him to his gambling business) and from that I really didn't care for him anymore and his affection for
Kot Nim seemed like a cheap attempted to redo his lost "dadness"
now for the good:
uncle tiger was the real hero and "unexpected" sweety. honestly between him and taeoh, he was enough.
Captain Jang was EVERYTHING! not just because I love kim taeri but again she was another "element" they tried to replicate in taeoh which was the "cold" doesn't give a sh*t but is secretly a soft UWU and a dangerous killer they needed.
I so so so wish the "main" storyline was about her! they robbed us of a great backstory and the best "momance"! like why did she try to kill UTS's boss? how did it really work out? who was she working with? there was so many unanswered questions ;(
Bubs was a cutie and again what was her relationship with captain jang? cuz when bubs was dying captain jang tried really hard to save her and the end face was a dream "casting ship" between kim taeri and Kim Hyang Gi whom I think really look alike (which again goes back to what was their relationship, why did they "look" like sisters)
Kot Nim was an unexpected surprise for me, I really didn't know what the main plot was about until I watched it xD but as soon as I did I knew EVERYTHING that was going to happen and that's how shallow it was
I watched this with my mom as it aired, so since I knew nothing I theorized with her and I really said dorothy is the reason Mars is green and UTS lied that she's a bomb and wants to destroy her so earth isn't revived. and that was literally it... that was all clear as soon as she showed up in their ship, though their 1st meeting was funny and cute it was too obvious..
no need to talk about the great cinematography or the CGI, it was obviously amazing and way better than american movies. and the plot too tbh was better than the avengers so I don't want to be too critical about the shallowness of the plot ;)
and actually a rewatch is a must cuz one can focus more on captain jang ;)

it did kept getting worse , if that’s possibleIt’s like a love triangle between dad/mom/daughter
And that’s cute but so brushed over
Daughter fl and rich hidden son are also so basic with zero chemistry
And speaking of chemistry it’s like the dad and daughter are strangers
He is a horrible dad, money doesn’t change that
And the mom isn’t that much better cuz the daughter carried the husbands place
It’s like she’s the daughter, the mom, the husband and the friend which is a huge burden
So the dad should step up and try to win over his daughter rather than rekindle an old love, he chose to fall in love and marry and fell short in his responsibilities as a husband and a dad, he just wants to be a lover
Like the dad's other relationship added to it all....
Hooking up with their now ironically neighbor, and almost having a kid... like they could’ve legit lived with their own sibling and not know...
Also the mom is right, that relationship is over and only an idiot would think about rekindling a failed relationship
But worse is the neighbor getting excited the mom said she doesn’t want him back, so how will this end? the parents deciding to be "cool" and friends, and he ends up with their "neighbor aunt"?
legit the thing that should’ve happened was to rekindle the relationship with his kids but...

so slow so pointless
is this the result of "fangirls only care for the male lead so the fl is ignored as a human"?she's so obsessed with him, she's practically a saesang. she idolizes him so much but worse she belittles herself more. "he's too good for me", "there's no way he would like a lowly person like me", "he's a star that I dared to sit next to" like girl chiiillllll
in skip beat, Kyoko idolizes Ren as an actor not as a person, and when she thinks "how dare I like him" it's becasue she has issues with love in general. she didn't want it to change her so she was more reluctant to like him.
here, this is just a mess done for fangirls. your oppa is hot and everyone love him.. I mean yes, my oppa is hot, jun was the best part, after he started to chill and show his cute side that is.
again, who even stans a cold jerk? I personally like my idols because they're humble, sweet, sometimes awkward and dorky, on the screen of course, they might be calm and chill with their friends, but in front of the camera and worse in front of the staff they all need to show their "respectful" side
there was an older idol maybe from suju that said if you don't greet the staff with kindness you won't make it long in the industry
but in dramas they always like to show idols as jerks, and worse the 2nd fls are obsessed with a guy that clearly is not interested. girl you deserve better!!!
ALSO, THE WORST part, the car accident.. she was just STANDING there, she was not in danger, she was not kissing someone else, she was just there, what a dramatic waste of time.. then her overreaction in the hospital, like again girl chill
the only things I liked were jun's smiles, the 2 members who supported him and Ri Ah's potential love interest Jae Woo (?). atleast that girl knows self worth and she cares about her dream, plus the guy is sweet from the start and he's cutely awkward when he's trying to show interest
and that's the button line, a guy mistreating you, yelling at you and judge you "for your own good" is not a love interest, that's the horrible misconception of idolized male leads and the hallyu wave..

It won’t hurt anyone if I gave this a 10~ my last drama completed in 2023It slowed and repeated a bit in a couple of eps, but the acting, the acting, and the acting were amazing
The development, the progress and the process, and ending were all great
Most shows take the shortcut and end it at places like the boast deck, things aren’t wrapped up or explained
There are many monsters in this world, but hope will prevail
I don’t blame taekssi for how he got, but the fact that he didn’t kill the wife/child, and he kept his pure heart was :)
He still wanted to rid the world of that monster, he was broken once that he didn’t trust his words so he got broken twice and he wanted to “lash out”, but still his heart was too soft and hyuksoo was wrong, not everyone can turn into a monster
I’m glad cherrie and sana lived, I’m glad the wife believed everything and loathed her husband. Small details and small parts for women, but each shined well
This has more content than most 20ep dramas xD

Boring, uneventful and incomplete
Ironic how such a short drama can be so uneventful yet draggyI understand Korean webtoon have a style peculiar, but i enjoyed Pegasus market and the sound of your heart
This, the comedy wasn’t funny, only one or two things were, and I’d say the be melodramatic reference wasn’t in the OG?
anyway this fell on par with school nurse files and glitch, they feel incomplete, with a really basic and cheap world buildup and follow through ?
And it ended in a way I hate the most.. going back in time, not giving answers. Like yeah he could’ve stayed another day, and gone back in time and fixed it
Though yeah her dad passed away on his way, was his closure thinking she’s back, and it was motivation for yellow pants to go back.. but a repeating loop, that’s not a happy ending, or any ending, they’re not reliving the happy moments. They’ll relive the chase
And yeah people say you can interpret it as you like, maybe it gives time for the alien to spend “one” or more days, which is 50 and more years, and some can say he’ll remember and stop her from going in.. but I call that lazy writing, open endings are pointless because the writer didn’t want to think more about what to do, the choice and follow through is their responsibility

More BYUN YO HAN PLEASE
Lol I think my slump is making me rate things higher xDSo the good:
Byun Yo Han as a 1st ML
Byun Yo Han with long hair and a beard
Byun Yo Han action scenes
Byun Yo Han and Won Jin Ah as a married couple
The story and development did keep me engaged
The bad:
Short yet long
The last fighting scene got too comical
I actually wished for more undercover activities
It was kinda like squid game cop guy's pov, not much depth and too much "action"
Like I wished for the MLs to form a bond so the betrayal got deeper
I did not hate BYH not turning evil to be undercover but I also would've liked a bit more, it all felt like it happened in 2 days

ghosts/demons/zombies? they have NOTHING on this! serial killers? they are a laughing stock! this was so scary, so heartbreaking, so DEVASTATING!I watched this after seeing my mdl friends' reaction and I was not disappointed, but I do regret this so much. will this change anything? or will people label it as a dramatic "entertainment" and move on?
I thought what would be the worse that could happen? Joon Ho dying? Han Ho Yul, the sweet little breath of fresh air in dramaland character? but no, it was much much worse, even if I thought Seok Bong dying would be horrible that scene! that extra ending scene?! the writer/director is CRUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
having my own mental struggles with life this did not help and I had to take a break but I made the mistake of going back and now I'm forever scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after a while until around ep4 I thought the ending of ep1 was the worst one, that character who's name I can't even remember, sitting sadly regretting his choice but not finding another escape. that was heartbreaking but THAT ENDING SCENE! MY HEART BROKE
eps 5 and 6, agh those two eps were so cruel. bullying was heartbreaking and disgusting but to break a sweet gentle soul like that? to break all of those sweet innocent people? FOR WHAT! WHY! why were they like that? tradition? it gets passed over? WHY!
bullying "less sever" than what happened there is still heartbreaking. removing someone's smile is heartbreaking, like if there's someone who's excited about the silliest thing and yet they want to share that with you and you go "that's your hobby? so silly/childish" and it ruins that person's happiness and that's HEARTBREAKING yet that's so "simple"
but to go and physically and mentally abuse people?WHY, why isn't it a crime! murder, thievery, BULLYING fits in those categories!
on a less dramatic side, the ost was so my style but dang it did not fit the heartbreaking mood, like I would listen to those songs if I didn't know about this drama
