"All people have different faces so that they can live different lives"
Here me out!! I usually don't enjoy korean movies but this one is an absolute masterpiece. It's realistic unlike other korean shows featuring "perfect lives" "perfect friendships". This movie is so sweet and made me tear up at the end. It shows how your soulmate doesn't have to be your romantical partner rather it can be your best friend who knows you the best , who understands you the best. I love how the friendship between two of the bestfriends isn't perfect. Its so simple yet it gave a new way to think about life and the friends I have around me. I absolutely loved this movie._**Cast**_
The cast was amazing. The directors used the right people to star in this movie. Byeon Wooseok has been talked about alot lately and he is also present here so if you're his fan then just start watching this movie already. Kim Dami and the other actress ( I don't know her name unfortunately) did an excellent job too. Didn't watch any of kim Dami's projects in a while but this made me want to see her in more shows and movies.
_**overall thoughts**_
I want to keep this short and spoiler free so all i want to say is that I highly recommend this movie to anybody. Even if you really like romantic movies ( it doesn't have that many romantic scenes ) i highly suggest you to watch this. Trust me you won't regret it. And you'll most definitely get another meaning to friendship after watching this movie.

Really don't get the negative reviews about this show
I've been seeing too many bad reviews on "Abyss" honestly for me i enjoyed this show alot. Watched it 7 or 8 months ago and the storyline was interesting. Its about a marble that can revive people back from the dead. The murder, mystery everything just blended in fine. The actors did a good job here too. I was totally hooked till the last 10 mins of this show. The ending was bad and had alot of questions unanswered but honestly if i compare how much i enjoyed this show till episode 16 to the last 10 messy mins then it was actually worth it. I would ask you to gice this show a shot. The first 2 episodes maybe a bit unclear but you'll understand the whole plot from episode 3. I didn't want to make this review too long because I'm scared i might give major spoilers. Plus i don't want to ruin anyone's experience of this kdrama. Watch it for yourself and see how interesting it actually is.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Between love, youth and friendship
Reply 1988 is a nostalgic drama that shows the lives of 5 childhood friends who live in the same neighbourhood in seoul and their lives between 1988 to 2015. The best part about this kdrama is that it has so many different characters and parts to it that there is something for all to enjoy. All the characters were important definitely however i feel at times the kdrama felt a bit too long for me. Since each episode is 1hr 30 mins long and some being even longer it was hard for to focus on some parts that i felt were unnecessary. I can say too many good parts about this kdrama. It beautifully shows the phenomenal beauty of youth, strong bonds between people who are not family by heart but by blood and sacrifices made by certain characters for the others to remain happy.The ending wasn't exactly happy for me- it left more of a bittersweet feeling inside of me as i came to realize that our youth lasts for only a short minute and just like the characters in the kdrama oneday we all will become busy with our jobs and lives. Its sad that we lose ties with people who we were once the closest with. Even though i wasn't born in the 80s i still enjoyed reply 1988 for the most part.

Falling in love at a beach while on vacation in the most romantic possible way
** slight spoiler towards the end**Lovestruck in the city in quite different than other kdramas. It was filmed in a documentary style which isn't very common in kdramas. When i started watching this kdrama I didn't take it too seriously because it started off with a man and woman who went on a vacation by the beach and fell in love. I found it sweet and carefree way of falling in love. overtime when the fl shared her reasons for cutting ties with the ml i couldn't exactly say it was her fault. She had her reasons and i respect her. The first couple looked good togther and was cute. However i had my whole heart for the 2nd couple. They were the cutest. No toxicity or negativity. Both of them were loving and cating towards eachother until the last episode. I will never understand why the directors had to break them off in the last episode. They didnt even resolve that one small issue which they had. Such a pity! The 3rd couple- well i would say we barley got enough information about them to judge what exactly was going on. I guess they didn't get back together for good. I don't understand want went wrong in their relationship for them to end like that maybe rhe girl was too mature? Anyways this show focuses only the 1st couple mostly and towards the end only the 1st couple lasts while the other two don't reconcile.
This show only focuses on love lives than on families and other parts of another person's life. It has nice aesthetic scenes and quite fluffy at times. The episodes are also short so if you want to see something ehich is light and not too deep then you can watch lovestruck in the city. Many people ended up loving it. Incase you like kim ji won or ji chaang wook then start it already.

Plenty of life lessons
Our blues (2022) is a kdrama which shows he ups and downs of life and potrays multiple stories of people who live and work on the bustling Jeju island. It talks about different matters like family problems, teen pregnancy, depression, misunderstandings between people who were once the closest etc. It gives attention to topics that are not talked about in most kdramas. I love how we get to see in this kdrama that all people have problems in their lives whether big or small. Valuable life lessons for all groups of people can be learned through this masterpiece. I'm sure you'll relate to atleast one of the stories presented. I liked that they approached a new take in the kdrama world and I hope to see more kdramas like our blues in the future. The stories progressively get better. If you want to watch something real and beautiful that will take a turn on the way you see life then i would suggest you to watch this kdrama.Thanks for reading
Happy new year :)

"I like guys who smile alot"
Can undoubtedly say that this show has to be one of my best watches from 2024. This isn't your ordinary typical kdrama. Mr plankton is realistic which engages the viewers in an emotional connection with the characters in it. The plot is unique and i have never seen something like this before. Two people with great misfortunes go on meaningful trip. It might not sound too interesting when i say it but trust me once you start this show you will feel its spark and magic. Many people are talking about its ending and a s2 but i think its of the perfect length and the show ended in the perfect way as it is. The actors did a marvellous job performing their roles. The osts matched so well with every scene. Together it was just a magical mix of realism. And i appreciate the directors so much for keeping the show raw and real till the end. I highly recommend it to all. Its definitely on my top 3 kdrama list now. If you have not watched Mr plankton yet please just do. You would love to start 2025 with a beautiful made kdrama like this. Lee yoo mi nd woo do hwan had great chemistry and looked so cute together.
Thanks for reading my little review
Lastly i would like to wish you a very warm happy new year :)) i truly hope this year brings you all goodness and big big joyful smiles

A drama i watched during my finals. Was it worth it?
I have a few things to say about this kdrama. First of all this kdrama is different and odd from all the other past entwined kdramas I have seen. The storyline has amazing and it got even more interesting towards the end. The ending was logical unlike most kdramas that have to do with unreal concepts or plots. But there's one thing that really bothered me throughout the whole show. And thats how the ml amd fl lead met when they were 9 and 12 and fell in love it might seem really cute but think about it a child and a pre teen falling in love?! Its really weird and creepy imo. The characters were quite dry. The ml and his Secretary literally had no joy in life at all. You'll understand what i mean when you watch the show. Im really satisfied with the ending tho. It was logical and clear and not messy or a sudden happening. Thats it. I still recommend this drama because of the storyline and the progess of its development.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Love doesn't count any losses
To begin with, this drama had potential and started off with a great beginning that kept me wanting to see more. The leads had known eachother for a long time before they developed a romantic relationship but one thing that i didnt like is how they fell in love all of a sudden. I feel like enough time was not given to form a proper connection between the leads. The falling in love part happened a bit too quickly. I liked the second lead couple more their story was unique from the start. The main lead couple had too many misunderstandings towards the end and there were to many things to take within such a short period of time.I did like the fact that 3 couples were portrayed in this show i think that made it even more watchable and enjoyable. If it was the main couple alone then the show would be plain boring. To me this show kind of lost its potential with the way they made the main couple approach into engaging into a serious romantic relationship. I couldn't read either of them and what they wanted.
No gain no love also explores the idea of relationships ( not only romantically), forgiveness, friendship and how you should do some things right now because you never know how much time you have. Towards the end things get messy but better in some ways.
There is a bit of mystery and murder in this show and that added another puzzle of entertainment to all the other elements. I would say overall this show is quite unique from the other 26 kdramas I've seen so far. Its good if you want to watch something new in the kdrama world. Its short so I'd recommend it personally.

Disappointment
I had such high expectations from this show and all it did was just bring disappointment to me. I really don't know why this show has such good reviews. Its clearly overrated. You guys are only cheering for this kdrama because of Somg kang and Kim Yoo Jung ( no hate to the cast they did an amazing job) let me explain what im trying to say.______story______
This kdrama started off strong and had so much potential trust me. Upto episode 4 I was hooked but overtime I just wanted this show to finish asap because of the repetitiveness of misunderstandings with the leads. The leads looked so good together but they doesn't really justify how they used to hate eachother and oneday all of a sudden they fell in love. It just doesn't make sense to me. Also from like episode 8 they had soo many misunderstandings between them. Too many misunderstandings between the main leads is a turn off for me. Also the past life story is overused and was just to make the kdrama long enough to reach 16 episodes.
_______Main leads_____
Now when i say main keads im only talking about the characters in the kdrama and not the actors irl. I didnt like Jeong Gu won too much. His personality never changed not even a little bit even after he got closer to humans. As a demon i know he has a very high ego but calling humans insignificant every two minutes even after marrying a human- tell me about it. Do do hee was fine. The "cold heiress" term only matches her till episode 3 or 4 after that she isn't even cold. Shes a soft person but talks less with most people thats it. Nothing was wrong with her personality.
______Ending_____
The ending could be better- much better there were too many plot holes in the last episode and i dont like "all of a sudden" because of something magical fate changing endings. Here the writers were too desperate to give a happy ending it felt rushed and unexplained.
_______Would I recommend?_______
Personally, even after yapping so much about why I dont like this drama i still would recommend it to people since so many people love it. The person I'm recommending it to might just be like most of you here and might end up putting this show on their top tens.

Such a thrilling show,
This is my first ever review on this website and i highly recommend the glory to anybody who loves revenge, mystery and thriller. I was very hesitant about watching this show and i would forget my memory to watch it again. This show kept me hooked till the very end. I love how the villains's lives were also portraited as much as the main leads lives. Two of the villains specifically had amazing chemistry and i would love to see them again in another show. Also the romance was kept minimal which i appreciate very much. Song hye kyo and lim ji yeon killed here. I've become a huge fan of them.However i must say this show was a bit confusing at times for example some scenes didnt give proper answers to the previous ones and some questions were kept unanswered. If you get scared easily and bullying/ violence is not your thing then i would say this show might not be for you but overall i think its a beautifully produced and directed show even though i think it would've been better if the main fl punished her bullies with her own hands.
If you want to watch this show or have been thinking about watching it then trust me go watch it rn you wont regret it at all. Its the perfect time to watch the glory now as its November and the glory goes so well wih this weather.
Thanks for reading my review. I hope this helped make up your mind. Have a wondeful day bye ♡
