what if I tell you I will never be normal ever again. i am inconsolable. this has rotted my brain and seeped into my veins like a weed taking root, in the best way possible. i could write essays about this. 

i also spent 4 days crying over this but no one needs to know that

times watched: 3

mm the gays. gay villains. gay serial killers. this is so good. i have too much to say about this RAHH

man. man. just. man. this is the best kbl to ever exist. everything is so RAW and REALISTIC and their representation of trauma and grief is so??? bloodcurdling in the best way. i have more to say but i think ill rewatch it first.

an absolutely incredible show that has a deep underlying socio-political theme. it's not merely a gay show, but also discusses a whole manner of topics such as LGBTQ+ rights (with an emphasis on trans rights), same-sex marriage, touches on racism and BLM, and talks about the unfair treatment of disabled people in working environments. it also discusses Rule of Law, human rights, the issue of business monopoly and the corruption of the police.

at the same time, it has some extremely soft and touching scenes. this was the second thai show I had ever watched and I was - and still am - reeling with how incredible it was. this show will forever have a soft spot in my heart.

good lord this series was incredible. it's raw, it's realistic, it deserves all the fucking praise in the world.  it's the most raw depiction of slowly falling in love that i have ever seen.

it talks a lot about confidence/self-image issues, and about the beauty standards in korea and how internalised one can make those beauty standards to the point where they can't even realise they they are beautiful, to the point where they reject even the thought of people liking them because they don't see themselves as likable.

oh god I cried so hard. I kept laughing one minute and then crying the next and then laughing and then sobbing again. there's no inbetween! you feel every emotion all at once. this film was absolutely breathtaking. they rocked the sun awake in the end <3

absolutely incredible, and has SUCH a good, resolved ending that ties everything in a neat bow. someone hold me.

this healed all the broken parts of me. I actually really wanted to give it a 10, but seriously, it reminded me of Kimi No Koto Dake Mite Itai in the best way - it's so HEALING, it's so WONDERFUL. they're just two gays, having fun, falling in love. what more could you ask for

I have a lot to say about this film and my heart hurts thinking about it so I shall return to this when I am more emotionally stable.

the ending of this film is fucking BRUTAL in the best way possible. nothing could have prepared me for that, and it was so good but also so bittersweet.

!! spoiler: it's the fact that Hyun Soo has nothing left, nothing - he gave up his life for the police force, his mother was killed because of his involvement, the police ultimately failed him because they only cared about catching the perpetrator - the only thing he has left IS Jae Ho but that is completely eroded when he discovers that Jae Ho is responsible for his mother's death. it's beautifully executed in the most gut-wrenching manner.

in an alternate universe, Jae Ho and Hyun Soo would have been unstoppable. such a fucking good film.

I have never cried so much over something in my entire life, and that's certainly saying something. like I was crying so hard I was struggling to breathe good lord.

bro this is THE comfort show of the century, I cannot say anything else about it. I literally have no words. like this is THE show to watch irrespective of your mood because it is literal perfection. all of the characters are brilliant, issues are resolved in good time, and there's just a softness radiating from it. i love this show so much it's so easygoing and so !!! like warm breeze on a sunny summer's day <3

honestly a little,,, toxic? at times?? but it works. Hira is self-sacrificial and puts Kiyoi on a pedestal because he has no one but Kiyoi, and Kiyoi isn't treated equally by anyone but Hira. honestly a show of good give-and-take, in my opinion. has the perfect amount of angst to soft scene ratio - and honestly, not all relationships are wholly innocent and cherry blossom-esque. sometimes it's a bit nasty and scattered and messy, and i think this jdr perfectly summarises that.

this is the best time loop show to ever exist. it made me cry, it tore my soul to shreds, it mended me only to rip the carpet out from under my feet again. they are everything.

i remember this gave me chills when I first watched it.

hi this ruined me I still haven't watched the last 30 minutes of the last episode cos I was crying so hard. Dongeun deserves so much more, and Yeojeong does too ? ah. i must finish it.

this film is an absolute masterpiece. it's comedic but balances the seriousness perfectly, the acting is top notch and you get so invested in the characters! it is seriously an all-rounder, a true tear-jerker at times that gets you leaping out of your seat nervous about what happens next. literally perfect

haha the gays. hmm. either revisit my infodump @ az or rewatch the show bro there's no inbetween

this was so, so cool. I really enjoyed this. the scifi aspect, the editing, the way the film unfolds?? some of the deaths could have been avoided but this was so GRIPPING!! I thoroughly enjoyed it, I love scifi and space exploration films so much and Chinese films have such a tender spot in my heart icl

adding to my favourites purely on the basis that a) this show was like an acid trip and b) the villain is an absolute icon, i love my little evil men that do things for selfish reasons
