A small pebble that turned into a massive avalanche.

The story was predictable and took way too long to start the revelation. I actually hate stories that could've been solved/stopped but maybe that person wanted the avalanche to happen
The ml was stupid tho, I mean they all were

His pov never made sense cuz, he's the guy? making his mistress drive, telling her he wants to quit, and she says lets cover it up?

And lawyer saying she met the dad, but he never sused there's more to it? Especially after the guy said she's a reporter not a hotel reception ?
I also hate the "turns out to not be dead but couldn't go back"?
The mood got me, 5, 4, 6, 9, 3, and a 9ish? atleast I'm glad it didn't turn ugly with mass murders at the end, I actually think the villains worse punishment is getting caught

It was a bit sad for the sake of it. I'm not cruel, it's just the pacing was convenient and he was a 70 ish year old dude there were more than 1 chance to take him down
jason was added for the youthful eye and to give freddie a bit of a soft grandpa vibe which it helped but again they just happened to work at Fridays
I wanted a bit more depth, especially with both their families. I wanted a bigger team to atleast make their schemes believable
Anyway sungmin ahjussi deserves a daesang or 10.. and the writer certainly hit the jackpot with this cute little duo. Since the story lacked relativity, the 2 actors pulled it off well
I don't like sad for the sake of tears, like sure I was heartbroken but they dragged it a bit and the ending felt empty I wish they made a bigger movement

It was fine, basic, but suddenly near the 1 hour 20min it's getting incredibly dumb?
I mean the writing and dialog is so rigid, like puppets just there to say their lines, and fl, her friend and our psycho all act like dimwitted 20 year olds but as a process of "stealing infos" it is something we're actively advised to take it consideration so it could've been interesting but...

I mean it was stupid when the cop was shown to be ml's dad who suses him right away...
And like sure fl's dad has to tell her new guy is sus but dude is like og tobby Spiderman 2 when he got the black powers and started dancing but girls thought he looked weird, oily cheesy
That's how siwan was being. Over confident in a tiny geek is sus af

But at the 1h22m mark, they stop him b4 he goes into fls house. Rookie cop mistake. But he goes, I'm not him you guys are sus and walks away? A suspect of 7 murders? Walks away with a "nope you're wrong"?

All ma dongsuk movies blur into one world? mom got sulky when I said I’d watch slam dunk, and I didn’t wanna leave her for 2 hours so I chose this instead
She still sulked ?

It was pretty basic, madongsuk beats ppl, ppl beat ppl and madongsuk still beats ppl that beat ppl
It had a couple of funny scenes,
“-shibal bar? -No, that’s cyber bar”
And the motel scene had me laughing ???
The cinema was small and had a few Koreans so actually with the bad short subs, we were the only ones getting some jokes
I think they need more characters to stand by him, like it became a recurring joke that his partners came in after he beat everyone up, so it was funny but 1on1 will always have a btch slap KO from dongsuk
We laughed at ma ha cuz that’s actually a girl name here, and my uncle’s wife, and ma dongsuk was like “we share the same surname” so ppl laughed for different reasons ?

Also lee joonhyuk is HOT, but here he felt basic, not threatening enough or as crazy as the previous two main villains, just bland, even my mom was like “all those villains feel the same”

Heartbreaking heartwarming and devastating
The vague ending did make me lower the point

I need to add, I appreciated the, receptionist(?) the guy barely had any importance but whenever he told the mom it’s ok to talk slowly and take her time, that one move showed humanity

I don’t like open endings

Like was it all the bright side dream hope that the baby gets adopted and she lives her life again
It makes sense that her letter to her cell mates was cuz she’s not coming back anyway as her sentence ended.
And her heartbeat didn’t fade, but then again Koreans love the “it’s all a dream” so I don’t like that move

Too over animated for a live action honestly the rainbow blood would’ve made more sense than the shark?

They did way too much but it was barely 18 dreams, sometimes it was more cartoonish than the anime eve tho they removed a bit from the 4eps I’ve seen
And the superhero bit also cheapened this

I hate how they whisper then suddenly scream, I’ll increase the volume and they scream… I lower it down and they whisper ?

Anyway he’s doing more of his bucket list here which felt like a mood, they are being “itchi?” with their shots but it for sure is tuned down tho I haven’t reached “ep3” and the motel yet?

There’s one thing tho, Japanese ppl for sure don’t know how to style hair, the fl had a bob but this was such a mop.. not trying to be racist idk they have like soft hair but they style it so badly, idk maybe they have naturally thin hair and don’t like extensions

Also sad the rainbow blood isn’t here, for the anime I wondered if he’s imagining it, so he thinks there’s a zombie apocalypse and he goes around stealing or well killing ppl he hated??‍♀️
And their zombies are dumb af All Of Us Are Dead is crying in a corner ?

This was actually cute, it became stressful with how funny it was cuz like 6m dollars isn’t small, and their switch and broken hand guy’s journey were hilarious

Tho it got a bit confusing at the end with their conversions, it was a fun watch eventho not much actually happened but it felt refreshing outlook

So like, each got 100k dollars? And did broken hand guy get the money from the lotto or did he sell it to the lady? The miss understanding was honestly hilarious like a crude joke but still funny cuz it didn’t actually go overboard

Anyway again like did they just accept the small amount cuz the big amount would’ve been a burden anyways ?‍♀️?
The villain dying was funny but again like, no one would wonder what happened? And the romance sadly flunking was sad tbh

failed mom watch, she left after the first five mins and I put on another hani movie which she also didn’t like but we’ll see tomorrow
Got to say tho lee hani has lost a lot of weight I mean it’s her preference if not just for the role but she looks frail with dainty shoulders

The leading ladies were a 1000/10
If we divide this by 3 parts, the first part was a boring table talk that took too long, the second part for annoying when a certain something happened but the last part was great it made me tear up
I high key loved the women tho like ?????? and sure some of their fight scenes especially one on one didn’t seem believable with their tiny frame but they were still hot?‍? the rating is just for them and the third part

Sadom going back didn’t make sense cuz they’d have left faster if she just went up , instead they talked about her name and “come up, no go save yourself”
So her capture was meh and the two mls fighting well I guess it was greed and the need to make the women the heroes so I won’t complain too much
The gathering at the end should’ve been the main event, like they had an among us chat for the first part and a bigger group to sus in the last part so more deaths would’ve made it more heartbreaking

Emotionally I’d have rated it a 10
Kyungsoo’s acting was so on point
kyungo also acted really well and sungmin ahjussi was a nice surprise

Story wise maybe it was too fantasy in the form off misfortune. Everything had to go wrong
Like idk if you can’t read outer space weather to know about the solar thing
Like they knew about the shooting stars if not know where it was exactly gonna hit
Anyway if you don’t know the things that could go wrong then why even try?
Especially wanting to use the moon dry like aren’t the trees enough? They want to take the moon
Filmography wise and acting wise tho it was on point and even the emotions were played well
My mom at first was like if it’s not a comedy I don’t want it and after a while she was also invested and I told her that’s my exo baby and she was also impressed
tho she thought it was suho and I had to tell her the brief history
Also kyungsoo’s English was a league of its own

The good, aesthetic, nice fight scenes

The bad?
Non believable skinny girl vs not only muscled men, 10s of men but also weaponed men
It wouldn’t have hurt them to add more characters even female and let her have her own set of comrades and not just a teen
The story was flat, no connection to any character no sympathy and super detached

Also extremely misogynist, not only were women the toys and victims of these drug dealers, but if this was a man saving the day, he’d have been feared, praised, respected but they kept calling her crazy btch, satanic btch, not taken seriously, and overreacting??? Dude does anyone ever call a revenge driven male lead as “overreacting”?
“Aw dude why are you killing us you’re so overreacting”
did anyone ever say that to ma dong suk?
And worst of all “spoiler”, near his death bed and he says she was fat? Fat? Really? He murders someone and goes “ah man she was so fat I thought she lied about being a ballerina”, and I mean like what fat? She was a walking twig

kim mu yeol is everywhere yet he’s always such a generic character with no impact

I was debating between 8.5 or 9 maybe even 9.5, so let me start with the good first,

High budgeted jdrama historical, I’m not too well experienced in jdrama historicals and the ones I’ve seen are always so, budget friendly to say it nicely, poorly expensed would be more accurate
not saying they weren’t good but yeah it felt like they used pocket money to make the set and outfits

Anyway, this felt nicely expansive, good setting and everything
Ml, tho I only watched one ep of the anime, he wasn’t as cold here, more like reserved out of shyness cuz he never dealt with women and he seemed well social with the guys, so ml just felt cutely naive rather a cold jerk

The bad, too much too little, so many things happened yet it still felt so rushed, not enough setting grounds, suddenly ppl wanted revenge and suddenly a new character with his whole backlog came up
The fl, dang is it a kink? I mean I get the Cinderella effect, but man this chic was a mouse
so self loathing, so much inferiority complex, yeah she had “background reasons” but it’s also the writers weird fetish

tbh I would’ve loved something like queen charlotte, there’s no reason she couldn’t have been smart cuz she studied alone, there was no need for her to be a genius but everything felt like an excuse “I’m not smart enough for you, I’m not pretty enough for you” that’s disgusting

And yeah that’s why my rating kept going down
Like I came from stories like The Awakening by Kelly Armstrong (?), and the whole setup of dumb blondes later realizing they’re the most powerful person ever, I mean we can even say Bella from Twilight. Anyway but this girl I swear I wanted to punch her so bad

And by the time one reads this for there’s no need to mark spoilers but even if she was strong, dang that girl fell so much like she was made of glass
So yeah if there’s a second season I want a drama not a movie, cuz hopefully she “grows up” and atleast becomes a zootopias Jody
