Be Your Monster (2025)

✨Don’t ask questions. Just vibe. ✨

This drama? Absolutely ridiculous. Unapologetically over the top. And exactly what the doctor prescribed for a lazy Sunday with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. 🍦 I mean… people casually waving guns and machetes like they're in a Spicy Telenovela: Martial Arts Edition?? I was howling.

The OST? On actual steroids. I swear the composer was like “give me ADHD in audio form” and hit export. And you know what? We vibed.

Brains? Logic? Emotional continuity? They said: “Nah, we don’t carry those in stock. But here—have some fiery chemistry and bloodstained love stares instead.” And I ate it up.

It gave me major Be Your Knight vibes, which totally tracks because apparently it’s the same director. There are certain things you expect from these dramas: chaos, slow-mo walks, inappropriate background music—and it DELIVERS. 💀

If you come in expecting Shakespeare, you’ll cry. But if you come in with a light heart and zero expectations of realism, you’re in for a wildly fun ride. I’m still wheezing at the romantic theme swelling as the leads lock eyes… absolutely soaked in someone’s blood after just wrecking a dude. Iconic. Cinematic. Absolutely unserious. 10/10 would rewatch this chaos and I'm only on episode 8 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Will update this once I finish it.

Update:
Ok, just finished this and can only say it was a good entertaining watch y’all. The drama stays consistently unhinged till the very end, and dang, I was really invested in the side couple — they had great chemistry. Too bad, cause judging by their chaotic tendencies, they were clearly doomed according to cdrama law (if you're not the main couple and have too much chemistry? yeah, you're done 💀).

Plot? Surprisingly engaging. Characters? Unfiltered madness but somehow loveable. If you’ve been around the mini-drama block, you’ll recognize half the cast — it’s basically a chaotic family reunion with more blood and fewer brain cells.

Now. THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL THEY’RE CHUGGING??? Broooo. If they had three livers each, they’d still be on life support. I just mentally replaced it with apple juice to survive those scenes, cause the real thought makes me 💀

And let’s talk about the OST (again) — it went from “Final Boss Battle” to “Haunted House on a Hoverboard” to “Cyberpunk Romance at High Noon” with zero transition. My brain was overstimulated like I was on five tabs of caffeine and a carousel ride. I’m CONVINCED they cranked the volume so high just to distract us from the unhinged lines being said.

But let’s be real, I got exactly what I came here for:

✅ Hot eye candy and surprisingly dope fighting scenes

✅ Men losing their absolute minds over women

✅ Romance and kisses (PSA: the leads only start kissing properly after ep 23 — before that it’s giving CPR dummy)

✅ Iconic supporting cast

✅ And yes, a blessed happy ending for the main couple

Was it messy? Yes.
Did it make sense? Absolutely not.
Did I have a damn good time? 100%.

This ain’t high art — it’s high chaos. And I devoured it.

are you ready to drown yourself in slow motion catwalks and smoke machines? then dive in!

nothing makes sense, nothing is logical. the tiny fl with nary a muscle throws many many punches, and none of them are believable. but she wears combat boots and pants and she holds her ground quite well so we cheer her on! ditto the scrawny ml in all his silent intensity. he's the mc but there's not really much to say about him. and the romance? nothing. not blood, or rain, or sunshine, or dead sisters, or broken bones, or murderous situations, or gun toting/knife wielding onlookers can stop our leads from throwing each other sizzling glances laden with attraction. and for that we thank them for their bravery 💀 and cheer them on! note: they only get together towards the end.

the performances? if you strain yourself you can hear the director in the background yelling more energy! more pzazzzz!! however there are no annoying 2ml/2fls and all the characters were thankfully quite mature.

the story? simple, but we don't care about that bc the director made sure to distract us with plenty other things 😂😂 like the very good looking actors, the odd and loud ost, the stylish camera angles, the whiskey that's clearly apple juice that they all keep gulping, the ml's heart pounding over protectiveness of fl, the four hot brothers, the dark and moody interiors, the gotham like behaviors, outfits and makeup of the wanna be bad guys, and for that we cheer him on! if he ever gets his hands on a bigger budget for his dramas in the future then we're all in trouble 😭😭😭😭

while I found the first half of the drama amusing, I did skip through the last few eps bc it was too long and repetitive. if you have a stronger appetite you may enjoy it more
