Movie that makes you feel like you’re constantly on edge
Alright to be fair I kind of didn’t know what the hell was going on throughout the movie but that was just because I watched it on an app that translated it really badly- so most of the time I just had to guess what they were trying to say LMAOBut , I do have to say this movie kept me on my toes. I wanted to start this mainly because of Kim Seonho because I Looooove his acting, and he definitely showed how much of a versatile actor he is, because after seeing him in such a serious/badass light- I want to see him in a romantic one too!!
Anyway to go back to the movie, I really liked the concept and the theme of it, although I think the pacing was a little messy because half of the time I got confused about what the hell was happening, unless that was the point of the movie…then they did a great job.
Towards the end though, I wish they gave a little bit more of a solid reason why Seonhos character decided to help Marco instead of the whole ‘they’re both from the same organisation’, like why the sudden change of heart? He was going to earn money either way. But I guess that doesn’t really matter, the story wasn’t about him I guess.
And I also wished they maybe explained why the fake dad was so insistent on Marco to stay, they had me seriously convinced that they were father and son— unless that old man just wanted him to stay to get his surgery lol…
Anyway the thought of being in that situation is honestly terrifying but the plotwist was crazy, but nonetheless a very sweet ending.
I also can’t help but wonder if maybe Marco and Seonhos character could be related? But maybe those were just my hopes speaking. They look nothing alike to be related LOL but still, they have the potential I guess.
Overall the movie was pretty entertaining , a bit confusing but good. Kim Seonho doesn’t disappoint! Very good action movie!!

Stranger things vibes
At first it was a little boring and had a slow start, I had a really hard time watching it and figured I might drop it, but then my friend started watching it and she went a lot further with the show and started to talk to me about how good it is and that I should continue it, so I listened, and i’m glad I did!!!Trust me, once they get into the hospital (wink wonk), shit goes DOWN! It’s so good.
The arcs built up, the way they connect things to each other and the way all of it slowly gets revealed.
I don’t want to spoil much but to say overall, this gave me a lot of stranger things vibes at first and I was lowkey here for it, they did it really well— it was like….watching schindlers list mixed with strangers things almost?
The betrayals the sacrifices, this will bring you to tears, truly. Also the ending had me jump out of my seat!!!! I hope season 2 happens!
I never really liked the actor (park seojoon) and didn’t think he and han sohee fit each other but they showed their chemistry and i enjoyed it a lot.
Its a good watch, 10eps, perfect honestly, they didn’t drag it out (except for maybe a little in the beginning but then again i am very impatient) , built the drama up well, every new ep something new gets revealed, although theres still some plotholes like (***spoiler) how does lady maeda know about chaeoks mother and what kind of teacher was she to her? why were they so deeply connected that lady maeda remembers her? also was the japanese painter in love w chaeoks mother?😂 this one is just my personal theory.
Anyway I recommend this! Good watch!

Such an interesting plot!!
I would like to imagine that when one dies they get to experience this, I’m not sure if the rules are the same when you sin (by killing yourself) and then you can only go through what he did or if in general people who die of natural causes die and go through that. I for one would like to experience different lives honestly, watching this from an outsider’s perspective isn’t the same so maybe I would regret saying that but watching this story unfold was so thrilling!!Each character had their own problems and backgrounds, and the way the story came full circle on the second to last person his body entered to and then him entering his mothers body…what a plotwist!!!
Shows like this always keep me in check when I have bad thoughts and they make me realise that fighting through the bad will get me far. It really is not worth throwing life away over inconveniences that will one day end.
Very beautiful, I recommend it!!!

Gay people having a sad story once again
Coming into this film I knew that it’s not going to be some wholesome movie where two gay guys fall for each other and live a happy life. So a story between these two ensues and it’s extremely sad, and it delivers it well!Though I was confused sometimes if Birdy was gay at all or not, he just seemed to be a lil too comfortable with his friends (it’s confirmed he’s gay later though).
The movie wasn’t anything special in my opinion, I’ve seen plenty stories where two guys are in an environment where they can’t be who they are so an angsty romance story starts between them.
However the movie is really beautiful and well done in showing their love story. The one thing I liked most is how music is what connected them most and their song in the movie is actually the title of the movie (or just a lyric i’m not sure) but the song is beautiful and i’m definitely adding it to my spotify playlist.
I also appreciate how they made a timeskip and made their older versions reunite, it makes me hope that they continued their love- maybe not since they were hesitant with each other but I think in the end they did try again. Love never expires and i’m sure both of them were waiting to find each other again even after all the years that passed.
Anyway the story is really beautiful, I unfortunately have a very short time span so I kept pausing and stopping the movie which led me to finish it in 2 days so I couldn’t exactly bond with the characters on the level where I would cry on their sad scenes but watching the sad scenes I kept thinking to myself how hard I would cry if only I had connected to them better. Their sad scenes really do tug on your heartstrings.
So sad how love in different forms isn’t accepted. Beautiful film.

Get ready to cry
I knew what I was getting myself into when starting this, from seeing the sad edits of this movie on tiktok and instagram, I just knew I had to watch it.Despite this movie having a sad ending, it’ll also tell a beautiful story at the same time, and I knew that’s exactly what i’ll get, and I did!
It’s one of those movies that leave you heartbroken, or with that feeling you can’t really describe but you feel yourself grieving as if it’s you who’s going through it and not the characters.
Stories like these are heart wrenching, but it’s important to show these type of stories too. No matter how much you love someone, no matter how happy you once were with them, or how right it felt to be with them, when you’re not meant to be with someone, then you’re just not meant to be.
This story is something I connected with from my life, granted I didn’t have a marvellous ‘will they won’t they’ love story like they did, but some fragments of the story I could resonate with, and it’s true how you could go from loving someone and willing to fight to be with them, to having a fleeting moment of regret. It is something that will sneak up on you, no matter how many times you say you love this person.
On your wedding day was raw and funny and beautiful. It will make you cry…maybe, but it’ll most definitely leave you with an aching heart.
I rooted for them at the start and all the way till when they started dating, but once they broke up- I could just tell the spark wasn’t there anymore, and even if there were still unspoken feelings and longing ones too, there’s a moment that you allow yourself to see that this is not the person that will take a path with you but they will remain as a fond memory and that is equally beautiful too.
Very sad yet beautiful movie, watch it when you can!

No Hyunsu, barely s1 cast
Since i started this show couple of days ago because my friend told me to start it because season 2 is coming soon, most of my friends already watched it and tiktok spoiled a lot of stuff too. So I knew what I was getting myself into.But like everyone said, yes, basically Hyunsu was barely a main character in there and the story revolved mostly around the military characters. I can’t lie the beginning of season 2 was really good but then somewhere inbetween I got bored because they kept showing characters that we didn’t know and their storylines, giving them arcs and sad moments but I didn’t care about them at all!
Like that woman who was like the second boss to people in the stadium and who kept that monster hidden, I don’t know if at the end of the episode she was given this plot so we feel bad for her because I certainly don’t. I don’t even care if that’s her family, like I don’t care about her or what happens to her, same thing with her daughter.
I think the only characters that I cared about were the original casting and the 3 main characters from the military and thats about it.
I think season 2 was a filler season for season 3 and I’m expecting it to be a lot more plot based around Hyunsu and the original casting a bit more! Especially since the ending showed another character from season 1 coming back!! I’m excited!!

Funny sweet romcom
I was expecting it to be your typical romcom and I wasn’t wrong! But I think the entire point of this movie was to make fun of the cliche romance movies, they took so many cute tropes and added all of them in one.The chemistry between the actors could’ve been better honestly, I still think they were cute but definitely could’ve been better. On a side note, the actors still did well, I had so many moments where I laughed while watching the movie- it’s just silly in its own way and entertaining at the same time.
Amnesia plots in romance movies are usually the most cliche tropes ever and I think that was the whole gag (especially the doctor who was the one who kept mentioning movies about this plot LMAO).
Overall, I loved it a lot! The beginning was a little boring but once we get to the amnesia part it gets much better and entertaining, super cute and a good watch.

Very emotional story that will make you cry!
As soon as the show starts, you can tell this is going to be a pretty heavy show. It handles abuse and feeling alone and not having that parental validation you need. Overall, everyone in the show that you’ll meet, is somehow mistreated.What I have to say though, is that the first few episodes with the child actors, were amazing!! They showed a lot of potential, and I hope I see them in new projects as well.
Even the casting was amazing, I truly think they outdid themselves with it.
I feel like the story did get a little boring at some point, but it was still nice enough to continue watching when you’re bored.
I liked the tropes in the story too, even if they were a little toxic…but they were done well. Like with Ranjoo and the PD, I mean I was rooting for them! Despite them going back and forth…I’m not sure if we should assume they ended up together in the end or not..but they were cute for sure.
Also with Mokha and Kiho, I loved their chemistry when they were kids! I was totally rooting for him until the older versions of them were introduced. I’m not going to lie…I preferred Chaeho …He was just so much more better (personality wise) than Kiho’s older version. But in the end I caved in, and I think Mokha and Kiho are absolutely adorable. I mean…who waits and stays loyal to one person even after 15 years of waiting? What a love story!
Really, this show will have you crying. It’s such an emotional rollercoaster. Keep in mind there’s child abuse as well as abuse in general, so when you’re watching this, be sure to understand what you’re getting yourself into. Even though the show starts off pretty dark, it soon turns beautiful and colorful. Cute story, cute characters! Watch it when you can!

Entertaining
After finishing twinkling watermelon, I started this K drama, because of Ryeoun. Especially after seeing so many TikTok‘s of him in this K drama (edits), I became super curious, because this K drama was in the erotica category on the website, or I mean the app that I was watching it in, it was listed in the erotica section and once I saw his name in there I became super curious and I knew I just had to watch it. (also bc ??? why is it in the erotica section LMAOO)Since this K drama isn’t that popular I didn’t really know what to expect and especially because the first episodes were not about him,,, and his character wasn’t introduced until later in the episodes so the first few episodes were a little bit boring to me. I know that the actress in the first few episodes is in a kpop group (gidle?) and I was like oh that’s interesting but it just wasn’t really as interesting as i thought it would be.
so the first few episodes were boring me and I was like oh what if the TikToks that I saw were like just taking out of the few moments of the show and this is actually pretty boring ???…but I kept watching and that’s when it came to his character and oh my god, it’s literally one of the best tropes ever like!!! childhood best friends to boy next door girl next door to lovers AND fake dating trope let’s not forget about that!!
Ryeouns chemistry with the actress was exceptional and I continued watching it just for those two. I honestly wished that there were more episodes with those two in there because once their story ended and it went to the last story, I was pretty bored throughout the rest of the show.
The last story was about a teenage girl. Basically the same premise as the other two stories, but this time it is about a girl who is a little bit of a bigger person and we all know what happens in K dramas when you’re not skinny,,, obviously she gets bullied, and thats sort of the main plot in the story.
I honestly did not like the character, I really dislike how when Korea makes a plus sized character they make them super annoying and just all about their weight. They have no other plot except for being insecure about their weight and it was really annoying throughout the show. I understand there was a reason for it and I guess they’re talking about how you should love yourself no matter what and what not but the whole time they made the character seem so naive and so annoying and she had zero personality, except for wishing that she was skinnier and that the popular boys like her, but what I like at the end a lot was that they didn’t make this into a romantic story and they made her and the guy end up in a platonic relationship and I really like that because not everything has to be romantic, and I’m really happy that at the end they end up being good friends, and I really liked how she changed at the end as well. I would say in the last few episodes she did make a big development but it was still super boring, and I think it’s only worth watching this show for the other two aka Ryeouns ship.
also what I didn’t get is what ended up happening with that bully like did she just continue bullying her like what happened there? I think the show ended super abruptly especially her story !!and I don’t know if there’s going to be a season two because this show could very easily have a season two, because it kind of reminded me of sex education and because they talk about different stories, they could definitely make a season two and I would be up for watching it because it wasn’t a bad plot like it’s not a bad k drama it’s just that certain stories were pretty boring.
Overall pretty entertaining

Well…
It’s exactly what it is. Erotica combined with a tragedy.Honestly I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this, I went into this movie blind but I knew it was in the erotica category. I was just curious because of the actress since I saw her in The glory the first time and liked her ever since. She did such a good job once again even in this movie.
I could definitely tell there was chemistry between the actors and the longing was something even I felt through the screen.
As for the uh, ‘erotic’ scenes, I mean I don’t know I kept laughing at it 😭 I don’t know maybe i’m just a little too immature for it still but the plot and sneaking around bit was what kept me watching.
I feel bad for the wife, she truly never blamed the mistress or her husband. She’s definitely my favourite character in the movie. On a side note the ending was actually heart breaking, I kinda called it though, I knew one of them was going to die.
But regardless a pretty entertaining watch.

Keeps you entertained
Not much to say about this movie, it wasn’t the most amazing or out of this world, it reminded me a lot of korean revenge plots which is why i liked it a lot. i loved the acting as well, all good actors but i think some scenes were a little confusing and at times i wasn’t really sure what was happening.also…director cha is his sister ?! and she tried to kiss him ?!…okay that was just nasty…
i really thought she was his wife at first or something but i guess not.
also i really liked the plot that cha liked boksoon since they met. sets the tone of their relationship a lot more, i think i would’ve lowkey enjoyed this story more if it was about them in their younger years. also i kept speculating if they would show who the father is…but i have my suspicions that it might’ve been cha…don’t know though.
overall a good enough movie. i would love another sequel with the daughter or a movie about cha and boksoon when they were younger, their story intrigued me a lot!!!

Didn’t disappoint
It’s exactly what you expect from a season 2. They didn’t make any unnecessary changes or give crazy plots, they continued with season 1 in season 2 and delivered great stories!The reason why my rating isn’t 10/10 is because some of the stories were a bit predictable and slow, at the beginning i had a little bit of a hard time continuing it but then i went back to it because i missed the show so much and it was great! I love the actors and the relationships between the characters!
I’m curious if there would be a s3 because of the plotwists they added in the end, if there is, i would definitely watch it!
Worth a watch!

Suzy Bae never disappoints
The reason why I watched this was completely because of Suzy Bae, and she definitely delivered a performance.The story was so interesting and well done, I finished everything in one sitting. Granted this Kdrama isn’t hard to finish since it only has 6 episodes but it was still very well done.
I love Suzy Bae as an actress but this was the first time I disliked her character in a show. Anna was so naive and annoying at times, that I had to click ‘pause’ at certain times just to collect myself and not go crazy.
I wasn’t expecting her character to be sort of a villain since the edits I saw of her character seemed to make it look like she was a badass poker faced character. Especially because of the first episode where they showed a woman from UK (?) visit her and give her some advice, which I thought they would bring back but it seemed pretty useless? The only thing she got from that woman is to have poker face which played a big role in the show.
Anyway I think this deserves a season 2. It did so well in just 6 episodes that I feel like it deserves justice by being back on the screen again.
Bae Suzy, you are phenomenal!!!

SO GOOD!!
Every episode had me hooked, and it didn’t have a slow start, and it kept its moment. nowadays, the new K dramas that are coming out, They usually have a slow start and a good middle point, but this K drama really just kept going and it was so well done. Every episode was so interesting and it kept you on your toes and keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next.Even though this K drama didn’t have that much romance in it, I still liked the side plot between the main love interest and the main character. I think they have such great chemistry and i was really happy that they ended up being together in the end.
Also, I can’t help, but think that there might be a season two because I mean you don’t put Lee Junho at the end of the episode for like three minutes of screen time for nothing and I definitely think there’s gonna be another season or just like another part of celebrity and I’m really looking forward to it. I think even season two would do it justice and I think it’s gonna be really good and if it’s gonna have Lee Junho in it im definitely gonna be watching it and I’m so glad that more K dramas are casting Lee Junho.
Okay no I’m starting to talk about Lee Junho now lol.. not about him but I really do recommend this K drama it’s really good and if you like a good revenge plot this is the one for you and you will definitely enjoy it.

Good feel movie
The beginning was a little slow and boring, I had a hard time continuing it and took a long pause in the middle of it but once you let it flow, things get a lot more interesting especially once they start showing the players’ background stories!The final match scenes were so fun and interesting to watch, my eyes were glued to the screen and I really like how realistic everything was done. Obviously they had no chance at winning but the one goal shot celebration was such a nice add, i really liked the ending!
The trope new found family are hard to do well but they really did capture the chemistry and relationships between the characters.
I recommend watching this even if it is a bit slow and boring at start!
