2025

Less frustrating than the original with far more mature characters and did I mention the beautiful cinematography! loved it!! 

Cutesy pootsie. 

But too convenient and cookie cutter... 

Bon appetite

Just the makjang ending..... 

Cutestttt child actor evaaaa

Could have been cut short and concise. 

They became one big happy family. 

Cheatception. Everybody's "cheating" On everybody. 

Fun watch though. Aoi Yu x Matsuda Ryuhei was the best pairing everrr. God bless them. 

Did she have the instant noodles or not tho. 

Love scout 2.0 but reverse everything

Episode 12 was essentially halmeoni redemption arc lol

This felt like a rollercoaster, melodramatic, soap opera ride! 

Was fun to see jiyongie back on TV after soooooo long! Hong Jin Kyung is a genius. Love her. Soohyuk and aespa didn't sing :(.

Parents dwell on what they couldn't give, children dwell on what they couldn't get. 

Jasper Liu is basically taiwanese Jung Haein. 

Essentially taiwanese saikou no rikon.

This show brings me to wonder should women always be adjusting or accomodating for others....... shouldn't he be consistently nice and caring to her.....

Masaki suda the brilliant actor you are....

Basically about being nice to people while you can, before you go to hell XD

A killer paradox 2.0

Cookie cutter ending, wished they did something unexpected.... 

500 days of Seol Ha

Firstly our mr. nietzche in the convenience store reunion!!!

This is basically the ju-on series with some unnecessary architectural lingo.

Loved how it started off but became a psa in the second half, probably thats what it wanted to be in the first place...

Bunch of chronically online kids trying to find love in places with no reciprocation. 

This was a fun watch but heavilyyy frustrating. Episode 6 was hilarioussss. 

Just think of it as bad karma. 

Haven't enjoyed a good thriller in a while and this totally lived up to my expectations! I guess, my only nitpick with this is, is that it should have been a lil more well balanced... 

Super nice to see Kim NamGil and Park Ho San after sooo long. 

Wanna be cmbyn

Wookdong hot af

Trauma and love. Cute. 

This was soooo cuteeeee 

Ahn Jiho as Heesu was just brilliant and Lee Sangjun as Seung Won was even more brilliant with his puppy eyes 

The whole one side crush with the misunderstandings reminded me of gelboys but loved their brilliant depiction of hesitance and fear . Watched this for heesu and seungwon and the sisters and Hosik(?) But the other two were an eyesore XD

Eternal summer 2.0 but atleast this time not as heartbreaking 

Beautiful execution but rushed ending that didn't fully make sense to me

finally watched it!

Great study of two brothers with differing ethical values and opinions and how the tables are flipped at the end. Reminded me a lot of Shiroi Kyoto, Bong Joon Ho's 'Mother' and Sol Kyung Gu's previous film 'I want to know your parents too'.

However, the ending seemed a bit off and random....

Not bad but too rushed and choppy.

Needed to spend more time on literally every character more meaningfully. 

interesting start and then fizzled out and fell flat. Got so boring that i struggled to finish it....

Overall twas a good watch, my only nitpick is why did chang ho's whole personality change as an adult in contrast to how fiesty he was as a kid..... 

Great tension and mystery in the first half, but final 20-30 mins felt random. 

What in the American beauty..... 

Warmest and coziest kdrama I've seen in a while. Was cute, bit funny and sweet except for the annoyingly unnecessary yoo yeon seok part.

The weak hero reunion I didn't know I needed! 

The eccentric yoon ena was the best thing about the show while the plot was a bit predictable

:/

Pretty good watch, but could have done something to make it more memorable

Fun, spunky and hilarious - everything that a terminal illness trope surprisingly had. 

Loved the fast pace direction - added to the funky storytelling! 

Why even bother :((((

the bloody cockroach just doesn't die does he.

i appreciated the fact that they showed her taking her own stand instead of the lil kid doing anything for her.

this season clearly focused more on the backstory and everything was neatly wrapped up as well. C'est parfait!

loser husband x multi talented woman x special needs son

to begin with, sex was the least of their problems. 

brilliant performances by brilliant actors, beautiful direction and cinematography

she just needed to brush twice a day TT

also yagira yuya should do more romances...

eita and matsuda ryuhei did it first

the director's sure perfected the kiyoshi kurosawa-esque dreaded horror....

everything about this was top-notch!

lol where tf was the mystery.....

gave it 70 points cause thats what he gave her too

quite similar to arrogance and virtue

still needed a lot  more context and explanation about nagasawa masami's character imo :/

cool direction, chaotic and fast paced. kept me on hook for the most part but wasn't as engaging as i thought. Kang Ha neul with his usual loud persona was at times an eyesore.

fun. better than wall to wall. but i wished they showed the impact that the noise had on the residents a bit better. (the fast pace of the movie added to the comedy but not as much to the story)

this was just beautiful.

I've always admired jeon yeo been's ability as an actress - natural and charismatic. Loved nam goong min as the reticent film director and his glasses look.

going to cherish the scene 30 rain scene - one of the most beautiful shots in kdrama history.

just wished the ending had a little more closure than the one we got.....

Animated and super funny!
Also this show had way too much cgi compared to usual non- netflix jdrama standards....

They started off as Tenma and Grimmer and then turned them into Tenma and Johan..... 

The execution was overall alright, just the script bro..... 

So they just wanted hot people to do hot stuff. 

Hmmm.... 

queen mantis more like queen Go Hyun Jung ?
Loved that sly snarky attitude of her performance!

Imo, Much better than Byun Young Joo's last piece of work - more refined, and more sure of itself.

Season 2 when?

Jun Ji Hyun x Kang Dong Won was literally the oly good thing about this show. The political lore just got boring and draggy

Best korean movie I've seen in a while. Byun Sung Hyun director strikes at it again. Loved seeing a stellar Japanese cast with a tight knit Korean cast as well. Who would have imagined seeing Eita, yamada takayuki, kasamatsu sho and the kid from monster with Hong kyung and sol kyung gu. 

 A hilarious critique on communism and capatilistic democracy and who really is free and fair. 

Every masterpiece has a cheap copy.... 

Had very high expectations but the movie led to nowhere....

what a promising first half and lousy latter half! Jong hee's arc from the stabbing to being adopted by some rich lady to participating in miss korea for god knows what was absolutely pathetic. Wished they were a bit more poetic and showed some efforts to so many other characters who had so much more potential.... Quite disappointing!

Nice to see something bold come from a non-netflix show! Lee young ae and Kim young kwang absolutely slayedddd this. I loved their equation and banter. Vaka looked yum XD

Just the cat and mouse and jang taegu arc became a bit repetitive, wished they didn't lag at that so much

Saikou no rikon 2.0 but this was still beautiful and profound. A beautiful relationship is about respect, empathy and appreciating the present, no matter how small or mundane the reality is......

"Good morning"
"Good night"
"Welcome back"
"I'm home"
"Thank you"
"See you later"

Love is in the details

Tastefully yours, but better. Leave it to the Japanese to fuse a culinary themed drama with a cute melo romance. 

Seeing han hyo joo in this just reminded me of always. Thankyou to the show for most of all resurrecting THE akanishi jin from the dead ?! Never would I have imagined seeing narita ryo, akanishi jin, shun oguri, nakamuru yuki and han hyojoo in the same damn frame.... 

It was also cool that dalpalan did the music for hyojoo's comeback since moving!!! ⚡

However the show was too condensed and short and hovered over most of its deep subject matter. It needed a lil more fleshing out. Plus akanishi jin's characters deserved way more screentime and dialogues! 

Loved the scene where shun oguri runs away with the umbrella ?

Was hilarious and beautiful to watch but was too fragmented and choppy. Too many unnecessary cuts and transitions. Not PCW's best but still a decent watch! Loved rione and sione and their dogs ri two and si two ?

Ryu seung ryong.......... What a phenomenal actor! Never goes wrong with his choices!! 

What a journey from the snobbish Kim Naksu to the persevering Kim Naksu! It was beautiful how he had to re-learn/discover the world beyond ACT. 

Also, interesting how this had similar themes to no other choice but I would say Lee byung hun was playing a Kim Naksu turned Do Jin woo in that one.
