Didn't think I would like it as much. One of the best antagonist. There is always something about teenage antagonists that make them scarier than adults. Although would have preferred some "the glory" kind of justice but engaging nonetheless

It was okay. Enjoyed the first 5 episodes but then got a bit predictable. Had higher expectations from it specially regarding the central mystery and expected a more darker twist. Also, felt the chemistry a bit off between the leads. The romance somehow didn't work for me in this drama

Didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Even though advertised as a fun light hearted show it sure has some really dark and emotional themes. Some scenes were really scary plus that sad ballad that plays towards the end of each episode it really hits in the feels. One of the best OSTs of 2026. This was a pleasant surprise. Quite an underrated drama

One of the best kdramas of the year. I was looking for a good emotional slice of life drama which has been kind of a scarcity in 2026 but finally found this. The only slice of life drama of 2026 so far and it was great!


Only minor gripe I might have is regarding the OST, for a drama like this there could have been more memorable and emotional tracks which would have been a cherry on the top. The tracks aren't bad but nothing stands out or brings out extra emotion like they do in some dramas of this nature.

Also kudos to the director. Loved his previous drama this year as well, "undercover miss hong"

Its mostly light. Leans more towards healing. Heavy drama is shown in flashbacks for most parts an event that happened 7 years before the timeline in which drama is set. Think of it like rain or shine but less emotionally heavy. Some angst before the final episode like 2 episode of angst , overall a happy ending and good characters without any villains as such

so will park seo joon come back as the main villain in season 3?

when the police corner the antagonist in episode 6, why don't they shoot at all even though they have guns aimed while letting him kill them one by one with the scalpel. They could surely fire in self defence plus he is a dangerous criminal. What's the use of the guns then?

was expecting a cameo from the catapault fighter girl from season 1 but I guess got written off while the police hacker character got a bigger role compared to season 1

She is the police hacker in season 1. She gets run over by the enemies in season 1

well this series is good at creating some despicable villains. Hated the season 1 villain and season. 2 villain is even scarier. Want to punch their guts. Can't wait to reach the final episode to see him get a good beat down

Chicago Typewriter meets Parasite The Grey

Didn't find it as bad as everyone claim it to be maybe because watched it years after bong soon and didn't try to have any expectations when I started it

It was okay but neither creepy nor scary as some of the comments claim. The only kdrama I have ever found a bit scary was revenant

wow one of the directors of this is having one of the best years. First directed undercover miss hong which was great and now this

Didn't have any emotional depth nor any profound slice of life feel for that ending. From the tone of the drama a simple happy ending would have at least made it average or watchable. But the ending here is almost a big nothing. It's like the writer was writing and went out for a couple of minutes and forgot to write the next line or the makers just got bored shooting this shit and said "okay pack up"

If only there were more episodes like the final two episodes. The love triangle should have ended by episode 8 and the last 4 episodes should have entirely been about the three. SML and love triangle ruined what was a promising show. The final episode did salvage some of it but the love triangle till episode 10 was too much

Only Drama from 2026 that I have thoroughly enjoyed is undercover miss hong although it doesn't have romance but the sismance is really great in it and every episode is a delight to watch

oh yes, almost forgot to mention the kdrama to my beloved thief which I enjoyed in the romance genre. One of the lighter seaguks that isn't frustrating and also keeps you entertained . The ending was a delight: imagine if moon lovers and the red sleeve both had a happy ending it would have been something like this

Found Positively Yours a bit better. It isn't as frustrating as our universe and the love triangle gets resolved within 4 episodes. if I remember correctly it starts around episode 5 and ends by episode 8. But in our universe it drags on and on. Plus in Positively Yours the SML doesn't get as much screentime as it's in the case of our universe. It has a lower rating since people who have read the webtoon didn't like it but if you haven't read the source material and go in blind it's not as bad as our universe

Looking forward to IU's next drama which comes out next month. Also tantara starring song hye kyo and gong yoo and the upcoming drama with son ye jin and ji chan wook

The writer suddenly realising what the story was supposed to be in episode 11. Going towards a rushed ending now.
They wasted 3/4th of the show on a useless love triangle. The screentime for SML is not justified at all!
