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

better off as a binge
cookie (I mean Kook Hee) as a male lead was amazing, he was sweet, UWU, adorable smile, six pack, considerate and charming and the fl was normal enough with her own career and lifenow everything else was horrible, there was no plot, no real planning, no development, just a bunch of random events thrown together, and worse by the end all of the plots were resolved as if nothing happened..
2nd fl's boyfriend issues and 3rd fl's husband problems all sounded so big but by the end they just brushed it off and everything was fine again ;/
cookie was a sweet guy but his traumatic past was a cheap move for conflict, just as cheap as their final breakup ;/ eventhough this wasn't like the usual 16 ep dramas where the breakup lasts from ep12-14, here everything lasted for 5mins...
basically just another romcom in a pile of romcom cliches, but the ml is actually worthy rather than the usual rich jerks ;D

plotwise it was really basic and nothing special but the acting, specifically Seo Ye Ji's, was AMAZING! the gore and the horror part were disgusting and even slightly funny/comical, but the fear coming out of SYJ's performance was incredible ;)now the ending made me confused, did nothing really happen? her scars disappeared and that kinda makes it interesting, like she didn't go through everything just to make a movie (which I found ridiculous, writers/directors don't need to experience something to be able to covey real emotions, that's not how movie making works otherwise we'd be in an entertainmentless world full of psychopaths xD)
so that means she lived it -ie what we saw- while she made it up because she was so invested in the story, but her eyes flickering, did that mean she was possessed by the ghost? how much of it was real and how much wasn't?
the ost wasn't much and I never rewatch stuff

for one thing it was hard to relate/connect/root for any of the female characters, or even the guys tbh. it was not just that they are "gray", but all of them were either selfish or judgmental..I liked Do Hwa Young and Han Jung Won the most, but one was fooled into cheating and the other cheated with her teacher, and they even threw in some hints of crush from his son's side so everything was just a mess..
Jang Se Yun acted all high and mighty and calm but she's the type one should fear. the moment someone does something she doesn't like she gives them a condescending silent treatment? and I actually don't know if Sang Hoon killed saloon lady or not? and if not then 1- who did? and 2- the way Jang Se Yun treated him and doubted him is exactly what I hated about Jang Se Yun.
but to her defense the writers loved to make everyone looks suspicious that even Sang Hoon and Min Gyu seemed crazy. though after showing that Dong Seok was the one messing with his wife it just makes me wonder why the writers tried to make Min Gyu act obsessive?
also, if Sang Hoon didn't kill saloon lady then he as well should've been acting so shady..
Jung Won was the worse. she cheated on her husband and the acted as if he was to blame, and just becasue her husband cheated first didn't justify her though she didn't even know that. and most of the time she acted as if she was better than her friends and that everyone was out to get her/make her do things for themselves. and though she did do those things, it kinda made her seem self centered..
anyway, now on to the crime/mystery! it was a huge mess xD at 1st I thought their crime happened in the past but knowing that it was the future was a good move..
on the other hand, the other mysteries mostly had nothing to do with each other but they made them seem as if they were connected..
so, the teacher Eun Soo cheated with was killed by Chang Hyun's mom becasue she thought he was the lover of her daughter in law who Chang Hyun was "accused" of killing, and Eun Soo killed up after her to hid her own cheating, then the teacher's son came into the picture and Eun Soo wanted to redeem herself.
but it turns out Dong Seok was the lover but he had nothing to do with either murders? and then Chang Hyun was killed by who? I don't know.. but then Sang Hoon tried to blame Young Dae to bring him out of hiding, and well that was the only "reason" to have so many murders connected with each other..
Young Dae was a crazy mess, but! that ending! I was wondering this since ep6. if they showed Young Dae's body missing and then found somewhere else, then why the heck did the 4 fls still tried to hide his body? I knew from then it meant whatever they did didn't kill him and that there was another murderer, so why?
he was coming out of the water and he had more blood on him. they could've ended it there. and they all seemed to forget Jung Shim was around..
anyway, I also feel cheated that Sang Hoon was alive. all throughout the drama (especially after they showed he was innocent) I hoped he was alive. but for them to make us think he was dead until the last scene was a cheap move. I wondered how his daughter and Jung Shim were running around if one's dad died and the other's mom was a killer, so I mean I'm glad he didn't die but still..
the female centeredness and the fact that it was a "mystery" and short was the only thing working for it..
the ost was nice, it had elaine~ and I never rewatch stuff...

also, the romance was unnecessary for the 2 mains and Kyung Po (honestly he deserved better), he was the one who befriended the "ninja" no one saw, but still they did not appreciated him and made shallow remarks about his looks.
also, since they were "young and naive" I'd say the flat romance could be overlooked, but it'd have been better as just "unexpected friendships".
the plot about friendship and youth was solid, but the delivery was lacking. tbh even though it's only 4 one hour eps, it felt too long and I found myself playing at my phone most of the time.
and basically the mystery part was exactly what it looked like in the 1st ep, so they wasted alot of time "trying to find the truth".
the ost was nice and I never rewatch things ;p

I especially liked the "realness" of how the students reacted and the psychological aspects, they didn't just hate or like him, they had real raw emotions? their anger and desperation were so amazing, I don't think I've seen anything like that in dramaworld...
I keep changing the rating between 9 and 9.5, if I rate the overall process and plot it'd be 8, but then if it was just the last ep, and those emotions I'd rate it a 10..
my rewatch values are either a 1 or a 10 ;)

the characters were not "strong" enough, they didn't have that much personality outside their plots.. beside that early dart scene and the fact that nana was strong willed against her male coworkers, they didn't give her enough... depth? same thing with Jang Ki Yong or the other characters, there was always something missing...
and the main plot was so overused that it was not enough to carry this show, the only thing that did was the fact that
Soo Hyun was a hitman...
+ nana proved herself as a competent actor
+ nana's beauty, I did consider her pretty before this drama, but there's something extremely beautiful about someone acting so well, or singing and other jobs, as long as they try hard, you know? ;)
+ Jang Ki Yong was made for this role, his eyes were everything
+ the filming was well done, everything looked pretty and high quality
+ really nice action scenes, nana's fighting scenes were the best ;)
+ ep12, I think that's the only good ep...
- it was reeaaaalllllly draggy, I mean like they only needed 2 to 4 eps max.. that's the problem with 12 eps drama, it's like the production team didn't think the plot's worth 16 eps, but they still want to drag it out...
- I skipped alot, to the point that I didn't even care for the 2 main leads parts, but I still got everything thanks to ep12 ;)
- a drama that focuses more on the old villains talking is always a horrible, I don't even know what they are talking about for that long.....
- I feel like the start and the characters relationships were rushed because they were worried 12 eps won't be enough for character growth... so that means bad time management?
- horrible weak repetitive plot. no mystery and not much thriller (I'd have given the story a 1 if it weren't for Soo Hyun's "job")

A bit silly, fun as a futuristic theme but zero explanation why only one group was so futuristic they even had a spaceship like shipThe aging is all messed up, the girl is 18, 2ml supposedly a bit older, but their real age gap is like 20 years
My mom did think he was 20ish but I was like now he’s 40s, so when he was talking about a crush or tried to flirt, that was disturbing
And Jackie with the other fl, she’s 36 now so she was like 29 real age, and she was a cop 13 years ago?
as a story it's 1d and predictable, and a bit ridiculous, he put her in an orphanage, so bad ppl won't find her, but stayed close for those 13 years? sounds stupid.. to make your child grow up alone fearing danger, but still staying close that anyone who'd follow him would see who he's looking at?
when i saw a clip on tv i thought they had a fight and he was staying close but she didn't want to acknowledge him cuz he was being overprotective xD

Weird the fl didn’t have her poster look, their dynamics is a bit like a kidnapping day, she’s smart and calm and he’s an airhead
He takes her in to steal the insurance money and he’s a scammer so he uses her to scam an older woman and well it’s that simple and mellow so they barely talk and nothing really happens

revenge fantasy
I thought this was like a cringe and silly romcom, then I saw a clip of the last fight on insta and i was like ooh this isn’t a cheesy romcomBut as I watched this I realized this was about school bullying, and sadly no rom
I’m so sorry but Jun is so hot, I mean he’s psychoness is scary but idk if it’s cuz I know his uwu side, or if I have a crazy side but he’s so hot when he’s mad
And fl is xingback approved
The other teacher screaming don’t take off the mask made me laugh so much I think that was another reason beside the fl fighting that made me wanna watch this but I forgot it
Then SHS hitting Jun and him face slamming the principal was hilarious
And her high kicks were so satisfying
Poor bullied ml when he had his meltdown, it BROKE me
I’m kinda disappointed Jun and HSH didn’t have a love line, I’d love to see them in a drama together
I personally think this lvl of bullying is “fantasy” idk like anyone can record and expose bullies if they’re this severe
So in return it was a fantasy to have a former boxing champion who wanted to live a peaceful life but had to unrealistically beat the heck out of a bully to win
I also loved the comedy in the last fight
Also another aspect of severe bullying, leaving is simple and the easy way out
The com tho made me laugh especially two scenes at the end almost made me cry laughing
Jun was hot eventho he was a psycho and shin hye son eventho i see she always does the same type of character, i liked her here especially the fight scenes , I’d totally watch a drama about her fighting, I’d even watch a second season of this
I was gonna say it’s an 8, but soshimin made it a 9 and the comedy made it 9,5

Not as comedic as I thought, only 1%The first half was too ridiculous, like why trap 5 ppl in a hotel in a shaky tunnel if there were options especially with better studying and better tools
So the first half was done to have a “unexpected team building” so the second half made sense when they cared for each other
And it needed a better ending, like Hot voices villain was a psychopath, id have wanted him on a death sentence or atleast have his chaebol dad send someone to kill him off
The double cross, double cross, was ridiculous cuz, villain was offering burnt leg 100k, when if he stayed he’d have had to cut 5m between 5ppl
Poor old guy dying so coldly as well was just to add angst
villain dude was never gonna let them live , and ml with his fancy car and clothes and watches, he didn’t need another 1m to even take that job, again a 30b job put on 5ppl, one sick, one hurt, without any research or equipments, they only found out about the new pipeline cuz old guy randomly had that info, when again, if a crazy rich dude did something , he’d plan it better from the start

My hyeri, this was like her entertainer character, a “sunflower” randomly loving and caring for ml
The ml was so annoying, he was always mumbling his lines and everyone was whispering and then they’d blast the music and sound effects it hurt my head
Also it fell on the type of movies I hate, too set driven, too one dimensional, too boxy, too artificial
I thought this aired today but it’s been 5 years, so it makes sense they were so annoying acting wise

Not me thinking he should get rid of the finance instead
Like seriously, don’t date a guy with a dog if you’re allergic then make him get rid of it and threaten him that their kids will have that allergy
At first I thought he hid the fact that he had a dog, or he never mentioned it, but she lied to him ;( tho I think they dated then he had to take in his mom's dog
and the end was resolved cutely
This ml is sooo much better than my sweet monster, he was such a sweetheart, and he could sort out his feelings well, it takes a real man to cry so purely ;(
YYS, unlike his dongmae, he does get typecast as the sweetie and naive personality often, some dramas I couldn’t take him but here like hospital playlist, he was a green flag, a bit more gentle and crybaby but such a sweetie
Fl, she wasn’t bad, especially compared to dna lover character; another sad typecast, she was nice but as mom says “if she didn’t tell him he had to get rid of the dog the movie wouldn’t happen” ;p
The last two options weren’t bad either, but they became attached to the dogs and in the end it sparked all of their desires to dream again

sometimes one needs a total easygoing brainless watch
the “gender role switch” was really funny, he was a househusband, she was a total kickass cop bossThen it got funny with the misunderstanding , and the jokes were cheesy but fun
It could’ve been better, like the fighting and choreography were too good it felt obv staged
The bad guy stuff, I mean yeah sure no one really pays attention to what the big bad is doing, lol it’s either always weapons or money laundering
it's also nice to see a normally happily married couple, she wasn't hurt and wanted revenge, she was jealous and wanted to make sure it's not true cuz she genuinely loved him and he loved her
It lacked in the overall scheme, the characters were just the needed ones, and two against a hundred is a bit overboard , but as a fast easy watch, it was refreshing to atleast have cool characters

Great acting, good premise, basic execution
Being so short, yet so repetitive and yet so underdevelopedThe cop, kwangsoo, and Mr smiles were the interesting part
the 20billion honestly felt like valid reasoning xD
The one target till the end ruined the mood, especially since his targeters were his victims
And he never died… so many attempts…
then it got political and a total snooze
The masked guy, was disappointing, he was like the son? A victim? Idk it was so out of place and rushed over
Like, when there’s a murder mystery, it’s either someone they show or someone new, so in this case it was someone new and his story especially since the whole thing revolved too much on one target, made it detached
Tho the cop getting the money made it sad cuz of what he did to his daughter, he stole from thieves and put his family in danger, he doesn’t deserve happiness
Tho he didn’t stop chasing the masked guy so he’s not fully satisfied?
