Strong start, disappointing ending

At the beginning I was quite intrigued by the plot with the switching of their fates etc. But the romance felt very fake to me idk. I just didn’t think the leads had chemistry.
Also the villains were sooo unnecessary and annoying, especially the Shaman. I think this drama could have easily been a good 7 without the villains.
I wish instead of the villains plotline they could have showed more of how the main leads were trying to do good deeds again and helping the people that Eun-ho tricked as a gumiho.

Also the last episode literally went from Goblin to Single’s Inferno 😂😅😅 Like seriously, what was that??? sooo so random!

I guess it is an ok drama if you watched something super sad or heavy and need a palate cleanser in the form of sth rather stupid and ridiculous then I recommend. But definitely not a masterpiece 😂

A completely different show from what I expected

So basically, what I imagined how this show would be was as follows:
FL is shooting a reality show with a Japanese actor and in order to understand each other ML has to translate. However, SML slowly falls in love with her and tries to swoon her over while ML has to watch. We did get a few scenes like that but I wanted more. Also I wanted the FL to be more swayed between the two men. I wanted Hiro to be bolder and clumsier to create funny moments and ML to be more tsundere but caring to catch FL’s attention. And I was hoping to see this kind of rom-com style in the form of an adventure across cultures.

Instead we got a psychological-romance 🤯 And no it was not done very well! Here are the reasons why I didn’t like it:

1. It irked me how a very serious mental health condition was treated in such a lighthearted, comedic way. It seriously gave me the ick! Well luckily they ended it well in the last episode, clarifying the reasons etc but throughout the whole drama I was just so confused and it was such a pain to watch.

2. The main couple’s banter was NOT CUTE NOR FUNNY! the constant push and pull was giving me so much unnecessary stress!!! In just ONE EPISODE they would go from fighting to making up and even promising to stay together and back to fighting and breaking up again!!!! I was so frustrated!!! People who find this romantic have a serious problem istg!

3. I didn’t understand why Hiro reacted so extremely negative towards Mu-hee, just because she didn’t know who he was 🙄
Other than his good looks his character was rather annoying…

4. Some scenes were SO CRINGE to me I was getting goosebumps 😖 For example when Hiro and Mu-hee were on a tv-show date in Canada and there was a musician playing music or sth and they were both acting “funny” but I was just getting second hand embarrassment it was so cringe how obviously fake it all was. There were some other scenes like that…

So basically the only things I liked about this drama were the beautiful travel locations that were filmed so beautifully, so props to the cinematographer, they literally saved this drama.
And I really liked the second couple a lot! They had much more chemistry than the main couple 🥲🥲🥲

This is it! I hope the rest of the upcoming netflix dramas will be better…

Human or AI?

I seriously don’t understand how this drama got such a low rating! I absolutely loved it!!!! From beginning to end, there was not a single boring or annoying scene! I was trying to think of some flaws but couldn’t come up with any 😂😂😂

First of all, the obvious reasons I liked this drama were the cast. Most of these actors were new to me except for Choi Siwon, Lee Soohyuk, Jay Park and Yoo Inna! And I absolutely LOVED these cameos!!!! First of all, I just recently had watches Tomorrow and absolutely fell in love with Lee Soohyuk! Especially his voice! So I loved it how they used his voice in the commercials for the Boyfriend on Demand game 😂😂😂 And seeing him as a romantic character was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
And Choi Siwon ofc was AMAZING!!!! He was one of the first Kdrama actors I got to know thanks to his role in Revolutionary Love which was one of the first Kdramas I watched so I have a soft spot for him 😂😂😂And the fact he was the Webtoon artist’s lover was soooooo good!!!! I LOVED it!!!!
Then ofc Yoo Inna whom I have discovered in Goblin as Sunny last year and fell in love with was also amazing in her role as the guide in the game 😂😂😂
Jay Park’s role was kinda short but it was funny that he played himself 😂😂😂

There were some other familiar faces like the CEO of the company whom we all know from other dramas! This man can literally play any role from villain to loving dad.
Then we had a former Physical 100 comtestant, Tarzan who played the Single’s Inferno date aka the fake Dex 😂😂😂
And ofc Ko Kyu-Pil who was always another character in the games and literally all his characters were hilarious but him as a bartender doing yoga cracked me up the most 😂😂😂


Then next, our main leads, Jisoo from Blackpink and Seo Inguk! I have never seen any dramas these two were in so I was excited to see them act together in this drama and I loved both of their acting skills. Jisoo was super funny! I love her talking voice and her facial expressions were really cute! I really think she is even more talented as an actress than a singer! 😂😂😂Seo Inguk was super cute too!!! I loved his nerdy and emotionally distant character but then how he slowly changed thanks to her. His rare smile MELTED my heart and the kiss scenes were super swoony!!!! 😍😍😍

Other new and amazing actors I discovered after this drama:
- Seo Kang-Joon: Omg his eyes were out of this world!!! He seems to be a new actor as I have never heard anything about him so I will try to check out his other dramas soon.
- Lee Jae-wook: JUST WOW!!!! I am literally blown away by this man’s charisma! AND HIS LIPS!!!! Omg now I get all the hype around him!!! My next mission is to watch a drama with him as a male lead! Can’t believe I have never seen him in anything…

Next one up is the plot:
For a romcom, the plot was fun, consistent, unique, and relatable. I also loved how everything was wrapped up in the end smoothly. The themes and topics fit very well into the plot and the characters all did their job.
Also I loved it how this drama got along so well without any major tropes like dramatic hospital scenes, car accidenta or the mid-way break-up. And if tropes were used, they mostly happened in the game as something so absurd and over the top. I loved how the drama played with it clearly stating that such tropes are not reality and only exist in the fantasy of women but also showing that there is nothing wrong about liking tropes.

And while we are at it, the themes are next. I think this drama did such a great job at pointing out the most relatable themes that are interferring with the lives of young adults right now: Dating and AI:

1. Dating difficulties:
This is not just a struggle in Korea but something that many people around the world struggle with. Whether it is about lack of time due to work, financial issues, or incompatibility between many young men and women due to the difference of expectations, it showed it really well. And the Boyfriend on Demand game worked its wonders. The first few episodes the game was presented in such an amazing way that it was impossible for me to imagine how the main female lead would get out of this amazing world!!! Like, there is no way the real world and real dating would be as exciting as this game!!! And thats also when I realized why women love watching K-Dramas so much: this game basically was the equivalence of K-Dramas: unrealistic expectations of love and dating and unrealistic men who do anything for the women. And again, I loved how this drama does not portray these expectations that women have on men as something negative but as something men should strive for. The fact that the othet female characters in this drama also were using the game and how it benefitted their lives (the writer used it as inspiration for her new webtoon and the bestie used it to get over her ex, live out her fantasies without hurting anyone and even getting famous on social media with her advice). At the same time it gave hope to all single women that their ideal partner might be around the corner or someone we least expected to be in love with us.

2. AI vs. Human:
First, the drama introduces to us the benefits of AI and technology and how they can easily replace humans and even offer a better version of humans altogether. As dating gets more and more difficult these days, AI could offer benefits for young people seeking true love and being able to feel emotions again. It reminded me a lot of the movie Her. But this was actually BETTER!!!!! Not only because of the fact that it was more fun but also because of the ending or the fina statement it gave: Even if AI can replace many things and make many things easier and more convenient, it will never be able to replace one thing: Humanity. Human touch, real feelings and love. These are all reserved for humans only. I loved how this drama does not condemn AI or technology all together as they can offer benefits as well but I also loved how it emphasized the importance of real human interaction.

3. Change:
This was not as big of a theme as the other two but it was of importance in Jisoo’s past and current relationships. She was afraid of changing as it could lead to break-ups so she viewed change as something negative, thus got addicted to the game even more as the feelings of the boyfriends would never change and she could always live happily in a never-changing relationship with them. But then, with Seo Inguk’s character we see that change is not always bad and it can also lead to something beautiful like the way his character changed after he fell in love with her and tried to change himself in order to get closer to her.

4. Feminism:
This was also a rather small theme but we saw this in Mi-rae’s bestie and how she played the game as a femme fatale seducing all the boyfriends instead of getting seduced by them. And her motives for using the game were merely just in order to avoid being judged as an easy woman as society always expects women to be demure and loyal to one man. This part of the story was truly entertaining! At first I actually didn’t like the bestie but she turned out to be such a fun character and I was rooting for her in the end!

These are all the things I loved the most about this drama! I am sure if I think about it more, I can probably think of more points! A literal 10/10 drama!!! Well done everyone!!!

The most boring action-drama I have ever watched!!!

I had really high expectations for this drama but it was a HUGE disappointment… The trailer was promising and the cast looked phenomenal! Lacked in story-writing and character development especially, but there were more flaws as well.

Reasons why I didn’t like it:

1. A lot of things didn’t make sense or were hard to follow. For example, why did his father have to give him the superpower??? Like what would happen if he died without giving it to his son??? It was so unclear! The explanations in general were so sloppy and the motives behind the characters were not properlt explained. Also, what’s the deal with Jo Anna and Nathan? Why do they want these superpowers??? Whats their reason or motive to be so strong??? Did sth happen to them in their childhood??? Like for example Strong Girl Namsoon had an amazing villain (played by Byeon Woo Seok) who had a crazy, traumatic childhood. So the motive of his actions of trying to get that superpower is clear. But WHATTTT is the reason for the villains of this drama???? Why do they want that superpower so badly???? I just couldn’t understand and was sooo annoyed!!!!

2. Explosions, explosions, explosions! This drama thought it could be make up for the lacking storytelling by blowing up stuff constantly. It was literally trying to be like one of those American superhero movies. It definitely felt like one! We need Netflix to stop ruining K-Drama by trying to Americanize them…

3. Flat characters! Although I liked Sung-Un and Bun-mi (and the fire girl too), I just couldn’t properly connect to any of the characters. We barely got to know them on a deeper level and there was basically no character development either. Everything just stayed the same with the exceptions of a few explosions here and there…

Other things that didn’t make sense or bothered me:

- Episode 2 when there are the explosions inside the wedding hall and ML saves his girlfriend and then they just stand there and talk and he gets scolded by her for wasting money again 🙄🙄🙄 LIKE WTF ARE YOU DOING???? Get out there! All I could do is roll my eyes!!! I was SOOO ANNOYED!!!!

- In episode 4 or 5 when Sang-un is trying to get into Beomha ranch and then the two othet friends, Bun-mi and the attorney are trying to stop him… I just didnt understand the whole sideplot thing with the selling your superpowers. Did the alcoholic attorney try to deceive them??? Was it on purpose the note he wrote on the documents? What exactly happened? Why were Bun-mi and Sang-un mad at him and What made them forgive him???? I did not understand anything at all! Not understanding these made me feel so frustrated!!!!

- When Sang-un and Attorney are running away from the lab and ML drops the bag and it get stuck under the sliding wall and instead of focusing on the bag he ANSWERS HIS FCKING PHONEEEE!!!!! 😩😩😩😩 Uggghhhh!!!! I was sooo annoyeddddd at him and Min-Suk!!!! I also didn’t like her at all!!!! She was SO ANNOYING!!!!! 😫😫😫

- When they find out the police officer’s superpower is timetravel and when Min-Suk goes to the police station to ask him to turn back time and save ML, and the police officer just HANDS HER his watch???!?!??!!! IS THAT EVEN A SUPERPOWER????? It’s literally Hermione’s Timeturner!!! And it’s not HIM who has the superpowet but HIS WATCH which in that case it is a magical object that ANYONE can use???? Omg I was faceslapping myself!!! This was so bad!!!! Who tf wrote this???? I swear I could have done a better job!!!

-And then the last scene! Nathan turned into a supervillain and killed the labgirl and all the lab workers. Hmmm? I wonder who is gonna insert Sang-un’s superpowers into him??? 🤔🤔🤔 Again a very nonsensical, annoying scene with actions that made absolutely no sense to the plot moving on.

-The last fighting scene was so cliche too!!! Everyone throwing theit money for him… Awww! I am sooo touched!!!! Omg seriously! I neithet laughed nor cried while watching this drama! I was also not on the edge of my seat… it was just annoying and ridiculous!!!

Other than the amazing cast of actors there was nothing positive to say about this drama… Just don’t watch it!!!

Most boring drama of the year!

Ok I just finished it! Also a 6/10 for me… tbh the beginning of the drama was really good and the middle was still solid. Like when she comes to Seoul and then runs into him and we see how she is trying to start a life for herself there etc. I really liked that. Because it really is not easy to start a new life somewhere new. It was all good until the ex started meddling with the old guesthouse etc… thats when it got annoying. I wish we could have seen her starting a new life in seoul together with Tae-Seo… I didn’t understand why all the going back and forth both emotionally and physically (from Seoul to small town) was neccessary…

And then when she did end up deciding to open her guest house again, why did she again, end up moving back to Hawaii???? I dont get it! She risked her relationship with Tae-Seo to open that guesthouse just to leave again??? In the end, neither Tae-Seo nor the guesthouse were important to her…I didn’t get the point of this drama. The plot was like what exactly?

There were some cute and sad moments, and the cinematography was great as well as the OST.
But i found almost all the characters annoying and unrelatable… except for the second female lead A-Sol, she was cute!
Even Tae-Seo’s brother was lowkey annoying, how he guilt-tripped him whether he was in Seoul or not… idk! His behaviour really icked me out…

And then we don’t even have to talk about the second male lead!!!! Omg ||what a pedophile!!! He was literally crushing on her when she was still in high school!!! And then he even dated Eun-A’s roommate???? Who would probably be the same age as her!!!! Thats sooo disgusting!!!! For me someone who has more power at work shouldn’t date a trainee or a freshly employed person… that’s borderline power harassment…

I also didn’t like it how Eun-A was jealous of A-sol when she drove the brothers to the village and back and how she told Tae-Seo not to have dinner with her to pay her back. But she herself literally had wine with her ex-boyfriend at 3 am!!!! Like wtf gurl????

And at the end, when the grandma woke up, and she kept remembering the wrong memories, and she kept on running into Eun-A even when her recent memories came back like… WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT??? Can someone please explain??? Because I really did not understand why that was neccessary!!!! Why did we need all that grandma memories section???? How did it all connect together? I am sooo confused…whoever wrote this drama must have been drunk or sth…

All in all, the drama had a great, promising start. It seemed like a cute coming-of-age story with beautiful cinematography and a second-chance romance… but it ended up being the most boring drama of the year so far…

Second Couple saves the show

Don’t get me wrong, the story was quite unique, sad yet beautiful. The characters were intriguing and the music was hauntingly beautiful.
Still, there were some things I didn’t like about this drama so that’s why it is not a full 10/10 rating.

1. The obvious age gap and the controversy of grooming being romanticized was too much for me to handle sometimes. I tried to overlook it at the beginning by telling myself that she just wanted to have a person to love after loosing her parents at a young age and being stuck with an evil aunt and cousins. She was craving for love and a family basically after being so lonely and unloved for years. It really broke my heart so I could somewhat understand her desire to marry someone and become the Goblin’s bride. And when we found out towards the end that she would have to pull the sword out and kill the evil ghost, I was relieved: At least, we didnt see a marriage between people with an almost 20-year age gap. He can die in peace and she will forget everything and live a happy life. That scene was incredible tho! The filming, the acting, the atmosphere!!!! Kim Go Eun carried that scene!!!! I absolutely believed her!!! What an incredible actress!!!! Her as an actress alone gained this drama a lot of bonus points. So yes, I cried a lot in this scene and here comes reason no.2 as well…

2. I didnt understand why they had to bring him back just to make her die at the end again… it was literally zig-zagging back and forth, I got tired of it… And in the end, just by coincidence they all die or leave and he is all alone… Also wtf happened to Deok-Hwa at the end??? We didn’t see that!!! That was quite disappointing.
If they were gonna be reborn anyway, they should have just skipped the marriage part and made everyone come back after dying at some point… like idk it was unnecessary for me…

3. It was also Very slow and a bit boring at times. It took me almost 2 months to finish.

Luckily there were many good points too. My faves were DEFINITELY the Grim Reaper and Sunnie!!!! In my opinion they stole the show!!! I was quite happy how they both turned out to be actors and police officers 😂😂😂perfect match!!!

I loved it when they mentioned BTS too 😂😂😂

In general the drama dealt very intensively with grief and death which is always so well done in K-Dramas and especially in this one.

All in all it was a good drama. I kinda get the hype. However I would not watch it again.

Deliciously Dangerous

This drama was so much better than I had imagined!!!!

I had only ever seen Yoon A in King the Land which was a very cringey show for me and I didn’t enjoy watching it at all, so before starting this drama I was doubting Yoon A’s performance but she was amazing! Hilarious in funny scenes and cute in some as well. Lee Chae Min was a new actor for me but I think his acting was phenomenal. My highlight in terms of acting was Kang Han Na as Mokju!!! Her acting was top-notch!!!

So far for the plot, I liked it. The end felt a bit rushed. Although I did enjoy the cooking battle, they could have shortened the scenes there a bit and added one more episode in the end, when the main leads meet again in the modern times.
I had the same questions as everyone else for the end about how he managed to get to modern times (I assume it was the one page that fell on him), and did he have money? (Maybe he sold his sword 😂). I would have loved to see his journey. I am sure it would have been very entertaining to watch 😂😂😂

I guess my theories for the end came true! I rather thought they would go back together instead of seperately and then meeting by surprise. But eventually he came as himself and not as a descendant like all the other characters 😍☺️☺️

Now I want a season 2 showing their lifes in modern day Seoul

Good for a Part 2 but cannot reach the supremacy of Season 1

Bloodhounds 2 was in my opinion a solid continuation of of the original, with familiar faces from season 1 as well as new characters, good or bad, and high-rated cameos (All I gotta say is Park Seo-joon!!!)

Here are my thoughts on Season 2 and why it was good:
- new villains were more brutal and interesting than in Season 1. Especially the hacker and Tae-geom were very interesting characters…

- less death cases of characters, as well as less defeats. I felt like in season 1 they constantly lost! It almost drove me crazy. In season 2 there was a bit more of an even chance of winning for either sides.

- The cameo of Park Seo-joon was HILARIOUS!!!

- The ending of this season was definitely more thought through. Season 1’s last epiosdes and ending were so weird. They probably had to change the plot last minute because of what happened with Kim Saeron…

And here are some reasons why I don’t think that Season 2 was as good as Season 1:

- No cliffhangers… For me the crazy cliffhangers of Season 1 were the reason why I got so hooked on that drama! Season 2 didn’t really have that. Which was better for my sleep cycle but in the end it didn’t really leave auch a lasting impact on me as the original.

- Despite the great choreographed fighting scenes (especially Gunwoo’s scenes with Rain), there was a tad too much unnecessary violence… the ripping off the ear, biting the bath tub and shaving off the skin etc were all unnecessary imo… I had to close my eyes more often in this part than in the first one…

- I didn’t understand the need of bringing back In-beom… like what was the reason??? they wanted to use him to lure gunwoo but they never did that… Part of me thinks they just wanted to lure him out to have more reason for more brutal violence… I didn’t like that… In-beom should have stayed in season 1… I wanted to see more background info of the green-haired hacker…

- Overall plot seemed messy and uncreative at times… especially using the mother and/or his friend(s) again to lure Gunwoo… And then the fact he stayed so calm in the end when his mother ended up getting kidnapped was a bit strange… Woo-jin was sadder than Gunwoo… I was actually quite confused…

- I wanted to see a revenge scene of Min-beom (Choi Siwon) on the villain (Rain)… but all we got is a hint on Season 3 and Park Seojoon’s real motive…

- Just the feeling of a found family was not as big in this drama as it was in Season 1 with Me. Choi and Kim Saeron’s character 🥺🥺🥺

All in all it was a good drama with old and new characters, extreme violence and hot men displaying their muscles 😅😅😅

Amazing drama except for episode 11

I just finished this drama, and although I was quite annoyed with what happened in episode 11 and what an annoying bitch Haran was to Chan, I still liked how they wrapped up the last episode. It could have been a bit better tbh. I found some flashback scenes pretty boring… like how many more times do we have to watch the same scenes from the past again? I felt a bit sleepy but the part when he draws people randomly was very cute. Also, Hadam and Yougyum were the most mature couple in this. I loved how they supported each other.

All in all I loved the plot and most of the characters in this drama. I also liked the mystery of not knowing about his past. It gave us a chance to keep guessing too 😂
The OST was really good too!

Apart from episode 11 and the annoying doctor, this drama was really good!

I think I would probably give this drama a 9/10.

A fun and heartwarming story

I absolutely LOVED this drama!!!! It started off lightheartedly and funny, almost even silly with her hiding her real identity and her Private life from everyone. Towards the end it actually got deeper and sadder. One of the dramas I cried the most!!! It broke my heart sooooo much!!!! Seeing the final picture that was missing with the boy aka Yun Jae on it, Duk-Mi’s story of loosing her brother and her memory at the same time and just how they were all connected since their childhood. Of course, very unrealistic like what are the odds of that happening? But that’s such a popular K-Drama trope and tbh it’s one of my favorites 😂😂😂

The side characters were also all super cool especially her bestie and Eun-Gi. I was annoyed a bit at him for a while especially when he was trying to break the main couple apart but I quickly went back to liking him! However, his romantic feelings towards Duk-Mi were not neccessary. I wish they would have kept him as her fake brother and given him another second female love interest (which I hope is NOT Hyo-jin 😰😰😰)
I was definitely rooting all for Ryan Gold 😍😍😍 I was whipped for him the second I saw him at the auction!!! omg!!! Yes I want it!!! 😂 Kim Jae-Wook is so hot and his acting is superb!!! his dreamy eyes and the voice omg!!!

Some critique point was the amount of accidents used as a cause for tragedy in both sides: Yun-Jae’s mom getting into an accident and not making it to pick up her son and then Duk-Mi and her brother getting into an accident and Duk-Su dying… That was a bit too many accidents for my taste…

But all in all really amazing drama with beautiful quotes, music and characters!!!

One of the best Underdog stories in K-Dramas

I seriously loved everything about this drama from beginning to end!!! It kinda reminded me a little bit of Itaewon Class with the revenge story, the dads being involved and the ML’s dad actually dying from the beginning, the unconventional beauty of the female lead, the group of people they’re working together with and building a found family with them… just sooo many similarities, there was absolutely NO WAY I wouldn’t love this drama! 😍😍😍

First of all, it starts off with Tae-poong leading this carefree life, always wearing the hottest clothes, dancing in Apgujeong Clubs like an idol (that he is in real life 😂), and getting into fights with his arch enemy Hyun-Jin 😂😂😂
His look in this first half of the drama was among the hottest looks I have seen in a K-Drama actor! I was seriously obsessed with his blond highlights, silver bracelets and leather jackets, it still lives rentfree in my head 😂😂😂

Then the next part of the drama, basically the majority happens after his father dies. That part I would divide it into 0 + 4 parts, based on the products they sell and with each product they earn another one of their former colleagues to join them again.

Part 0: Everyone is still together and they still have the fabrics that they had ordered before the father died I think. This was also before Tae-poong lost his home. Basically, this story arc shows how everything slowly crumbles: the work, and his home.

Part 1: Now it is only Kang Tae-Poong And Mi-seon and they decide to sell the work shoes they found in Busan and how they are getting involved with the Busan Gang members and save the life of the man who invented the shoes. This was one of my favorite parts of the drama. I still wonder if the shoes arrived at their destination and what happened to the guy 😂 They didn’t really show him at the end anymore. Also the video they made was phenomenal 😂😂😂super 90s coded!!!

Part 2: This part was my favorite part!!! the helmets that they sell in Thailand!!! 🇹🇭 😂😂
Go Majin joins them and lands in prison 😂😂😂 I was sooo annoyed with him in these episodes tho!!! He was being a misogynistic idiot and he treated Mi-Seon so rudely I was actually happy when he landed in prison 😂😂😂 And the measures they took to get him out with the pictures and all and then Mi-Seon DROPPPPPPING it all into the rivvverrr!!!! I was SOOOO MADDDD!!! I was screaming at her actually 😂😂😂
AND THEN OMG!!! Junho singing at that party!!!! omggg!!! And ofc their kisssss!!!! GYAAAAHHHH!!!! I was swooooooninnggggg sooooo hardddd!!!!! 😍😍😍 What a smooth talker!!! and the way he said “how lucky you are to have a guy like me crushing on you” omgggg i would have melted and then slapped him for saying that and then melted again 😂😂😂 we need more men like that in our lives!!! Thailand arc was just superior!!

Part 3: The glovessss!!!! In this part So many things happened. Mr Bae went to Indonesia, there were a lot of scenes at the government office, Tae-poong and Mi-Seon were in a church trying to get one of the former workers to come back. A lot was happening in this arc. The promissory note with Mrs. Cha spying on them was also happening here. And on top of that the fire broke out!!! It was CRAZY!!! a crazy arc!!! But I enjoyed every second of it.

Part 4: The last part was shorter compared to the others and it led to the finale. They got involved with Mr. Bae’s father and tried to sell security cameras. In this arc they also found the promissory note and before that Hyun-Jin started acting like a REAL asshole! The actor did such a good job at playing one of the worst villains in K-Dramaland. Also, it was funny how Hyun-Jin’s English was so much better than that foreigner Alex’ English 😂😂😂 I didn’t understand ANYTHING he said in English 😂😂😂

The end was a bit different than what I had imagined. I didn’t expect Tae-poong to save Mr. Pyo. And then for Mr. Pyo to go and lock up his own son!!! Wow! Crazy but I can understand since Hyun-Jin was a danger to so many people around him. Definitely an unexpected ending!

I loved seeing all the office workers together at the end walking down the road! it warmed my heart! A perfect ending to a great drama!!!

Other things I liked were:

1. Mi-ho and Nam-mo’s cute little relationship! 🥰 Mi-ho legit looked like a supermodel from the 90s!!! And their wedding at the end was so cuteee!!!

2. Tae-poong’s mom 🥹🥹🥹 Such a sweet woman!!!

3. Mi-Seon’s family 🥹🥹🥹 The grandma was soooo funnyyy!!! sometimes she was so senile, mixing people from the past up with people from the present 😂 but then sometimes she would say the wisest things hahahah 😂😂😂 Like when Mi-Ho was crying over Nam-mo and the halmoni was like “Why would you cry over a man?” or sth 😂😂😂 That was one of my favorite scenes!!! And Beom in his Taekwondo suit 😂😂😂He was the CUTESTTTTT!!! CHUBBIESTTTT!!! SWEEEEETEST KDRAMA BOY EVVVERRRRR 🥹🥹🥹I swear he looked like he could be Sunwoo’s little brotther from Reply 1988 😂😂😂 The way he always grinned melted my heart I wanted to cryyyy!!!! 😭😭😭

Things I didn’t like:
Nam-mo’s mom PISSED me off when she suddenly was against Mi-ho dating her son!!! I seriously didn’t get her point! Did she thing her son was a chaebol or a prince??? and she the Queen? Like she acted like they were soooo rich!!! In reality they had no money either!!! Mi-ho’s family lived in a bigger house than they probably did… I was so fed up with her 😖

All in all, I loved this drama and would recommend it to everyone!

A story about Love, Resistance, Passion, and Identity

Omg! What a ride this drama has been!!!
Every episode was like a movie and there were 24 of them!!!!

The storytelling: topnotch!
Character design: each and every character was relevant for the story to unfold and develop!
Cast: The level and skills of the actors were insane!!! Before watching this drama I knew these actors were one of a kind but after watching this I see them in a totally different light…
OST: INSANE! Each and every track still plays in my head like a musicbox… Can’t stop thinking about this drama!
Historical significance: The main plot being the Japanese occupation of Korea and the significance of the Righteous Army, this drama depicts not only human struggles of the characters we see and their connection to their homeland (Korea aka Joseon), but also this drama helps to understand how and why the Korean people nowadays are so passionate and proud of their country…
This was the best way to romanticize patriotism…

What a masterpiece!!!
If you are interested in Korea this drama is a must!!!

Beautifully melancholic

Loved this movie! Three lonely people struggling with their own difficult pasts find each other, become friends / lovers. It was so heart-breakingly beautiful! Loved the quotes especially from the two male leads. Loved their acting too. Already knew Yo-han’s actor from Mr. Sunshine but the other main leads were new and they were amazing! I wanna see more of them! Their kiss scene in the snow was one of the most relatable kiss scenes I have seen in movie/dramas.
Highly recommend!

Also heard that there is a book which the drama is based on so that’s definitely going on my tbr!

I won’t say much about the ending. Just watch it!

A story about female friendship disguised as a legal/ company drama.

Just finished too! Really loved the ending! Tbh I feel like this was basically a drama about the friendship of 4 young women and a little girl 🥹🥹🥹 All the company stuff also happened but basically it was all just a side story or a tool to bring these women together. Thats how I interpret it! 😂😂😂
It was definitely one of the best dramas this year so far. I give it a 9/10. The only thing that bugged me a bit was that some plot lines about the company got too specific and complicated, for example that one part when they are trying to trick Albert’s father with some old bills in Myeongdong??? What was all that about??? I seriously didn’t understand even a bit of that 😂😂😂
I was also sad that Albert and Miss Hong didn’t end up together!!! I need to stalk this actor now because he is hella fine!!!! His lips and his voice omg!!!! 😍😍😍I wanted to see more of him!
I also wanna see more of the actress that played Kang Nora! She was amazing as well as her mom!!! Loved these so much!!! Such an amazing drama about women power!!!! Love love love it!!!! Who run the world?
