A drama that will hold a special place in your heart. / Deep, Beautiful and Funny.
I began watching TUC without any expectations, since at that point I've never heard of it before and it wasn't that popular in my area. However, it became my favorite kdrama of all times and the counters hold now a special place in my heart.The story was beautifully written with lots of emotion and depth. Each counter has its traumatic past that was amazingly written without making it feel ankward like in many other dramas. The character development was there and their growth was really beautiful to watch.
Acting was done right. We have 4 leads with impressive backgrounds behind : Jo ByeongKyu, Kim Sejeong, Yeom Hyeran and Yoo Junsang. Honorable mentions to Lee HongNae. - played Ji Cheongsin I think it was ByeongKyu's first lead role and he did an exceptional job.
OST : I'd like to recommend Sejeong's OST "Meet Again", an emotional song written by her that will deeply touch your heart.
The rest of the OST was really cool as well.
So yes. TUC is a must watch, deep with many lessons, but also funny that will heal you in the end.

Belle Epoque... A beautiful time of my teens.
I watched this drama Summer 2021 with a big bowl of salad next to me and the sun shining outside. The cold breeze of the late afternoon felt nice as I watched this show for the first time. Now, 3 years later, Belle Epoque is one of my favorite summer memories of my teens - a breath of fresh air and a series which feels like home.I loved and love everything about the show. The girls, storyline, OST, cinematography... EVERYTHING. It's a unique work of art, where you can find quite the variety. You don't really get bored and the girls are really relatable, all going through different normal problems of the early twenties, or late twenties as it was for our lovely Jin Myung.
I liked how well the characters were individualised - a similar feel like in Hospital Playlist, another favorite of mine.
It's just one of those shows you don't know why it holds such a big place in your heart... or maybe you know. ;)
Now yes,
Thank you "Hello, My Twenties!" for being summer 2021 to me! For being home and for being the place I come back to every single summer. <3

Disappointment to a big fan of season 1.
After watching season 1 in summer 2021 I became a huge fan of the show. I loved everything about it: the plot, the acting, the ost, the cast... you name it! So of course I was waiting for season 2. I read the webtoon and constantly looked for updates about the production.November 2022 we get some of the first news I think about the filming starting, 29th of July 2023 the show starts. How was it?
A little disappointment to be honest. From the usual plotline full of emotions from season 1, season 2 felt like a try hard comedy. No hate towards that, but that's what it gave the show its distinct spark. The acting was good, on point, the ost as well, but there were many things that annoyed to be honest. Let me name them!
- The romance between So Mun and Hana. After they've hinted at it the whole season 1, they just forgot about it and added a random love interest for Hana. All the potential she had with Mun... WASTED. They had the chemistry, the storyline, but decided to randomly forget about them. Really? And I am sure that's what most of us were waiting for.
- The villains. In season 1 we had villains with deep backgrounds, especially Ji Cheongshin (Amazing portrayal of the character). This season it felt like all demons were superficial. All they wanted to show through them was that they were cool. Dumb move in my opinion.
- Yoo Insoo's character, cute guy, a little annoying, quite useless I'd say - could have made his character way better. I don't know why they added him...
The list can go on, but I'll stop here.
I don't think I'll rewatch season 2. I watched it as it aired and never felt the need to do so even now, almost a year later. I rewatched season 1 many times before, but after season 2 I was left overall with a bitter taste. Well, I guess season 1 will remain as a nice memory of my teens. I appreciate all the cast working hard on making s2 happen. I don't know what made the show go this bad direction, a theory of mine is the change of writers during season1. But I guess we'll never know the truth.
And for those wondering why my rating is so high... I don't really give low ratings... ever. And it would hurt if I gave such a low rating to a show that I loved so much.

So hi...
Moving was a drama with amazing cast, acting and storyline. I watched it all, but for me it didn't deserve that 10. Don't hate me for that - taste shouldn't be discussed!!! I only stayed for the kids storyline, the parents' one didn't captivate me. Call me boring, sorry. So my opinions are mostly based on the kids storyline.Acting was amazing. They were extremely cute and Heesoo and Bongseok were such a pleasure to watch. Show stealer KangHoon ( Kim DoHoon) showed me once again why he is one of my favs.
I am honestly sorry I couldn't like this show as much as the people on tiktok and so. The hype was mindblowing tbh. Everyone was and still is so obsessed with it - it wasn't like that for me ... sadly.
