Mr. Plankton

Mr Plankton or how to turn an awfully sad fate into a fun story.

At first you get some "uncontrollably fond" vibes but you quickly understand that it is totally different. This drama is like its main character, it does whatever it wants, it's never really serious and it literrally ends with him. You can like or dislike the end but it actually stays true to itself.

You keep smilling even in teary moments,. Sometimes, you feel the sadness and the heartbreak but end up laughting...
You can like or dislike that but we have to recognize that it's a prowess and salute the actors skills.
Plus, the chemistry between the leads was good even when they were exes so it really didn't disappoint on the romance part.

A wee bit disappointed by the OST tho. It's a mini kdrama and what we've got is not bad but it feels like they didn't put in too much effort.

Not for everyone especially if you're too emotional of a person.

I overall loved the series, it was built on a great storyline and amazing acting. I know it's marked as comedy drama but just proceed with caution especially if you've lost a loved one from cancer. I had a panic attack by the end of the series bc of how real everything around the person with the illness was depicted sooo yeah, it's not for you if you have a weak stomach. I wish we could see a little more of the dad and how he felt and delt with Hae Jo leaving home and him learning about Hae Jo at the end, I believe it would add a bit more to the story or well it would probably make me cry a bit more ig.

This wasn't just a romance, it was a story about two people who were abandoned finding a home, family beyond blood, friends and love. It was a story about adventure, and how the destination never matters as long as you have the right people beside you for the journey. This show was hilarious, romantic, toxic, gut-wrenching and most of all, heart warming. The ending was sad, but the fact that the main guy was able to find what he was looking for was all one needed for the ending.

And special mentions to ahjussi. I felt so bad for him, but him being a big brother to the ML and finding his own path was everything I needed. And justice for Kharri. Poor kid did not deserve the shit he went through through. John Ma was the MVP of this series. Prove me wrong.

Angst with a mix of comic relief.

I’ve just finished watching this and I’m bawling my eyes out.

I was expecting it, and literally promised myself I wouldn’t cry but boy oh boy, I failed miserably at stopping the waterworks.

While I knew that the writer going for a different ending (e.g via a loophole, or some bizarre plot twist) would have been very unrealistic I was still hoping for a better outcome.

Overall I genuinely went into this not knowing what to expect but I was so surprised, it had so many funny moments and I probably laugh out loud in public a few times. It was a ride but gosh so heart wrenching. And the cast were just phenomenal.

Mr. Plankton: 11/15/2024 - 11/17/2024

The ending to this show is shown at the very beginning but that doesn't make it hurt any less. Like by the end of this show I was still a sobbing mess. If anything, I think showing it at the start makes the whole show hurt much more. This being because every happy scene you think about the ending that you saw at the start. The show itself is as also really good, you get to see the ML and FL fall in love all over again, you also get to the 2ML find himself. Everything was done perfectly and felt real in sense that it flowed so naturally. While there was obviously thing to dramatize it the show still showed real things. Overall, I really love this show and even knowing that I will cry watching it I will gladly watch it over and over again.

Perfectly Flawed

First time reviewing a drama in so long but this drama deserves my 2 cents.

From the cinematography, to the scoring, to the story, and to the acting, everything this drama has to offer was perfect. The only reason I left a .5 scoremark in the review was because I don't think I could rewatch this again (maybe I could, but I wouldn't survive it haha).

The characters themselves weren't perfect, and that's okay as that aspect made the drama more realistic--more heartbreakingly close to reality. And that's one thing I liked in this drama. No sugarcoating, just people trying to portray people on the daily that you sometimes ask yourself while watching if the actors are still acting because they portrayed the characters so well.

Every scene and emotion delivered was perfect up until the ending. It ended the way it was supposed to end which made the storyline of this drama deserve a 10/10. Don't let others discourage you from watching this piece as you'll definitely pick up lessons here and there. It's a life drama I think everyone should give a chance watching.

Mr. Plankton

When I saw the snow start to fall at the end, I wanted to smash my computer.

But oh my god, I wish I had watched this show sooner. it was unexpectedly amazing??!! I don't even know why I thought it wouldn't be amazing, but it exceeded my wildest expectations.

Okay, so first of all the ACTING??!! Woo Do Hwan and Lee Yoo Mi, I may have to watch every single one of your shows?? Their crying scenes so realistic (her trying to smile at the end while she was crying. snot running down his nose while he was sobbing his eyes out)?? Their CHEMSITRY??!!! Every time they had a scene together I felt like I was intruding on something. The way it was SO NATURAL??!!! That one scene where Hae Jo thought that Jae Mi was going to kiss him, but she bit her nose??!! The intimacy of every single word they said??!!

Also Bongsuk was amazing, loved her. My Liberation Notes is one of my favorite kdramas, so her actress/character holds a special place in my heart.

AND THE STORY IS PHENOMENAL. I cannot stress enough how this story could have gone wrong in so many ways, but it didn't?? The way they all loved each other so much and cared for each other in so many different ways?? Also, the fact that each character was done right made me so happy.

There is probably more I could say, but I watched this whole show in a day (2-12) and I lowkey need to sleep.

But of course, this show was so beautiful and heartwarming and sad and entertaining and warm, and you should definitely give it a try.

EDIT: OMG I FORGOT TO TALK ABOTU JOHN NA. Obviously, I wanted to see like who he actually was, but then when he revealed himself, and he was NICO KIM??!! I WAS SHOCKED, and then angry, because why would they cover NICO KIMS FACE THE WHOLE TIME??!! AND NOT LET HIM SPEAK??!! That was stupid. But hey, at least he was in the drama.

Gaslighting treated as a comedy - Not for me.

I landed on this series only because I filtered for Comedy, Romance, Drama, Netflix... and ended up with only Regret.
The comedy is hard to watch. They are broken individuals that may perceive things in a warped manner, but it doesn't call for major gaslighting and that does not help the situation at all. So much manipulation and stemming from self-pity... And they should seek professional help for their issues, not take it out on each other and everyone who cares for them. Even as someone who has experienced first-hand abandonment, I cannot agree to the way the story plays out and I would be horrified if every time I shouted or asked for help, I was left stranded, TIED UP, etc by a mentally unstable ex! I found this to become mildly more to thriller/horror already and decided to drop the series. I hardly write reviews but it just did not sit well with me that this was rated so highly and the genre is miscategorized.

I have to say though - the actors played their roles well. No fault in them at all. In fact, probably because of their brilliant acting, that it got me so riled up in the first place!

Lloré tres océanos pacíficos

Este drama definitivamente se agrega a mis favoritos del año, me encanta el trasfondo de la historia y la manera en que se desarrolla cada personaje. Lloré mucho con los últimos dos capítulos, soy el tipo de persona que se adentra demasiado en la historia y le tomo cariño a los personas, ese final me destruyó pero me gustó. Debo admitir que las escenas de la familia Eo Heung me parecieron aburridas, me hubiera gustado que en lugar de eso nos mostrarán más de los protagonistas. La banda sonora es magestuosa y en general la forma en la que me atrapó este drama hace mucho no lo sentía.
