Simple and amazing
This was actually so good and sweet, I don’t care what anybody else has to say about it. There was barely any drama including the main couple after they actually got together, they faced challenges with their status’ but they never broke up stupidly they were ready to fight and give up for each other. Goo-won in general was just such a good guy, the way that he went to help her grandma and always took care of sa-rang was so amazing. And whenever she complained about him using his status he quit doing it OH MY GOD DUDE. She got a god tier dude. Although very cliche I also liked it whenever Sa-rang showed him normal people stuff, like eating at the restaurant and peeling the potatoes. It was so sweet. Another thing I loved about this was Sa-rangs goal, it was so normal and strange and I love it whenever characters have goals like that just because it makes them seem a lot more real. Very nice show absolutely love itWas this review helpful to you?
high potential, big let down
Holy boring, the concept sounded super fun so as soon as I read the description I thought “hell yeah lets try this out” but damn it was a disappointment. I expected them to be enemies or have god be the annoying neighbor for at least 4 episodes but they became friends pretty quickly, and I get that it's diews whole thing to be the loner loser but god damn that man was insufferable. God was also a pretty bad character, sure he's one of the greenest flags that I have ever seen in a BL but damn there was just something about him that pissed me off everytime he was on screen. Overall I think it would have been nice for an actual annoying neighbor storyline since that's what it's described as, it's also just insanely boring. Now for the reason this gets 55 points and the reason I kept watching, beer and wan. Their relationship was simple yet it pulled my attention so much more than the main couple, it was complex and they weren’t insufferable together. Wish I could have watched the part where they fully get together but I do not have the willpower to finish that shitWas this review helpful to you?
Heartwarming
Watching this in the summer really hit different than if you would've watched it in any other season, it just really brings the full vibes of the show out. The dynamic between the main two is of course one of my favorites, the bickering and the pettiness between both of them is wonderfully shown and I loved it. It also had those very noticeable hints of them still caring for each other whenever they meet again, which with how they left things off there were a lot of feelings still there since they didn't actually wanna break up. A lot of people call this boring and although I agree that at some parts it was boring the actors chemistry and storyline made up for it, from the time that the two characters were teenagers to late adulthood they kept the same bickering attitude while still showing that they love one another. Another thing that I like about this show is the other possible love interests, because they weren't crazy they were just normal. They accepted their defeat whenever they realized that they didn't have a chance with them, I neeed to see more of that.Was this review helpful to you?

So good
No matter what I say nothing can describe how much I absolutely adore this show. This is the only show I haven't been able to watch while eating something because i genuinely couldnt take my eyes off of it, every second was so interesting and well filmed n acted. Oh the acting, Jihoons eyes can say so much without him having to actually say anything. All of the actors were so good, they brought the emotions of the story out so well, and the dynamics ugh I love it. Although I knew suho went into a coma whenever i started watching it, I still sobbed whenever it actually happened because I didnt know it happened like that. Beomseoks story breaks me, i understand those who hate him but i dont understand those who choose to ignore why be did what he did. It wasn't right and it was taken out on the wrong person but ignoring the story behind it is just ignorant and honestly no different than anyone in the story. I’m sad it took me so long to watch it but im also really glad i did, i can't believe i was missing out on a masterpieceWas this review helpful to you?

Amazing dynamic, also a bit weird
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect whenever I started this one but it was definitely far from whatever I was thinking, as usually I heard about this one from tiktok from the edits of the main two. The main two were really interesting to watch, the nerd and the aura farming mafia boss is a concept I'm starting to really like. But I feel like the nerd guy always forgot what kind of crowd he was involving himself in, he's not just a random gangster he’s the head of a gang who has killed multiple people. He had the ‘I can change him!’ mindset and it might've been working but in season 2 (there better be a season 2) I hope it actually touches on that more and shows the problems they have when they become an actual couple. Honestly speaking though I don’t blame him for forgetting because this dude was always acting quirky, he had an actual personality besides being the big scary boss. His brother in law took that role on better, although I like what he did for liuyu and his sister when they were kids. His relationship with her later just makes me mad. She deserved nothing more than to be happy but instead she was stuck with this dude who married her just because his favorite child said to, overall this whole family dynamic just gives me the ick and makes me sad. Moving on from that I wanna talk about Chusans obsession with liuyu, it was weird but I mean kind of a way of payback for how he was treated at the start. I mean after all it was liuyu who was obsessed first, love at first sight not knowing that's what it was. The 2 episodes where he was hiding away were really nice to watch, he was going through something and the only person he could count on was someone who he barely knew. I wish that era would've lasted just a tad longer if I’m gonna be honest. Their chemistry was definitely there towards the end but at the start it was so awkward, I wanna say that it was on purpose but I guess we or I will never know. To finish this I just wanna say how much I loved the random aura farming shots of liuyu in this, like the frame of him looking out the window is perfect I love it. Anyways really good and interesting showWas this review helpful to you?

Insane
This movie had me itching my chin out of confusion the whole time, there were so many freaking plot twists and things happening that it just made it so confusing. But it was sooo good, the suspense and feeling of dread that get for the main character is honestly insane, plus the acting of Jong seo (yeongsook) she plays the psycho part so well its insane. The fact that seoyeon is now most likely stuck in a never ending loop of switching between realities is honestly so scary, and I feel bad for her. She got terrorized and tortured for just trying to help out someone else, which to some extent I feel bad for yeongsook since she was emotionally abused but nonetheless that isn't an excuse for her psychotic behavior. To end this off I wanna say that this was such an amazing and entertaining movie, I wanna give it 100/100 but i was chin itching too muchWas this review helpful to you?

Beautiful story, a must watch
I just want to start this off by saying how amazing of an actress Park Boy-young is, every character she plays feels different, it isn't just the same copy and paste. She's able to bring out the motion needed to make a story great, she did an amazing job distinguishing between the two twins. I love all of the twin themes they were able to pull out with this one, the switches and them being the same person but in different fonts. Twin telepathy basically saved mi-rae, if she wasn't here that day and didn't catch her who knows the injuries and how hard her mental health would've taken that. Her having to hurt herself just to get out of work is so saddening, she was going to end up like su-yeon if she kept going. I just want to mention how amazing the brother is for that, never giving up on his sister and getting justice for her. Knowing she was able to heal was very heartwarming. Which leads me back to the twins' trauma, mi-ji being a recluse for 3 years because of her ankle injury. Her living with the guilt of her grandma and image of mi-rae and ho-su hugging probably forever playing in her mind, being stuck in that room for 3 years. I imagine going into mi-raes' situation must have been pretty triggering. Ho-su being there and being able to recognize her right off the bat is probably what kept her sane, and that is honestly amazing and the definition of true love because what do you mean you are 1 out of the 3 people who is able to tell the difference between the two. Ho-su equally needed mi-ji as well, because of his past trauma and his disability creeping in and getting worse mi-ji being there was saving him as well as her which is incredibly sweet. Which is why I loved them working together to help that old lady, she was funny asf. And the lesbian side story? Always welcome it. I love it, I wish they would have been able to get their happy ending. I feel so bad for them. But I wish we could have gotten to see more of farmer guy and mi-rae, actually seeing them become a couple (i know that's not what she needed but whatever) it would've been nice to see her happy with someone after the whole dad boss debacle. Which is insane. I would have genuinely gone into psychosis if someone that looked exactly like my dad appeared at my job and started hitting on me, like what the hell do you mean I'm so glad that he got a beat down. And then the lawyer jumped in and took them down. I was so glad that he wasn't evil. I really loved how this show incorporated disabilities, you don't see too much of that unless it's inside characters. Overall, this is a beautifully told story about overcoming mental hurdles and living with a disability, growing to accept and live normally with those around you.Was this review helpful to you?

The danger of being a woman on the internet
I think this, among many, should be an entry film whenever you get to Korea (or really anywhere) for women. It does well with showcasing how dangerous it is for a woman to be alone, she had not one but 2 attackers throughout the movie. One being her own boss who she should’ve been able to trust, he stalked her trying to hide behind the mask of care and having a crush. But when those feelings aren't reciprocated in the way that he wants them to be he lashes out and hurts her more even though he was supposedly ‘trying to help’, big dawg if you think waiting outside her apartment and trying to squeeze your way through her door as she's trying to politely decline you then you need mental help. Do I think he deserved to be murdered? Maybe not but he at least deserved a good beating and some jail time. The internet scam turned murder is really frightening to think about, with how many of these sites are out now it really makes you think before purchasing something especially stuff like facebook market place where you have to actually meet the person. I can't even imagine the mental recovery after something like this, especially having two people die because of you and one of them being an innocent police officer. I wish the cops everywhere would be as keen on helping someone as these two were, in real life I can guarantee you she would've ended up being killed because of the police just brushing her off. But overall it was a pretty good movie, this is a very hard subject to touch on and the actors did a very good job on bringing the concept forth.Was this review helpful to you?

Way to short
As usual, it's so painfully short that it doesn't allow the concept to live up to its full potential. As much as I love the rich kid wanting to be something that their parents don't want them to be, because of how short this was I just wasn't able to be fully interested in it, but nonetheless I still did enjoy it. I really liked the main two's relationship, the kind of forced proximity and the tension between them since the start oh boy. Overall, it's just a short and cute series but there's not really much more to say about it, hopefully it has a thai adaptation at some point because I would love to see more of this story.Was this review helpful to you?
Had potential
At first I was going to absolutely roast this series but the more that I think about it and I'm reminded of it I realize it wasn't that bad, don't get me wrong it wasn't the best but its not that bad as I was remembering. The main couple had a lot of sweet moments together, like the scene where he invited her for dinner and the pool scene at the resort. The first two episodes are definitely what caught my attention the most though, the way that their relationship quickly developed and how they interacted with each other was really cute and funny. What happens after the first two episodes is where I start to get iffy about this series. I liked the main guy and how petty he was, like lowkey i'd react the same way if i was embarrassed liked that. The mom and love rival storylines were annoying af, like damn this poor girl I would be fucking livid if my mom proudly flaunted around her fucking porn movies like damn lady youre insane. Anyways, this was a cute little series if you just want to sit down and chill and watch nothing to out there or surprising.Was this review helpful to you?

I mourn what this could have been
Honestly this is just a story filled with constant despair and stupid teenagers being put into situations where they shouldn’t be, as much as I want to absolutely despise this series with all of my being there's something in me that I can't fully hate this. This had the potential to be something amazing and I will always mourn the fact that we lost what could have been one of the best dystopian world romances, It honestly started off like that but as it went on I guess they decided to just take the route of a boring romance that took the safe route. With the people killing themselves because no one around them rung their alarm could’ve made for the best route of the story, in the end the problem of the app wasn’t really solved for anyone else besides the main character since she decided to not listen to the app and follow what her head wanted instead of her heart. Which is understandable considering her background, which is one of the main reasons as to why I don’t completely hate Jojo. She comes from a very broken and traumatic background so it's no surprise that she would take that safe route, which I feel is something that a lot of people refuse to see about her and just want to hate her for leaving Sun oh. Speaking of him, in terms of the main storyline and disregarding Jojos trauma for a minute I feel bad for Sun Oh the most in the situation. Just for the fact that Jojo was the first person that he was able to open his heart up to and love fully, but his model or actor career I can’t even remember made him not be able to stick with her and caused her and him more pain in the end. I hope he truly did love Yookjo in the end and didn’t just choose her because he basically had too, which sucks for both parties involved at the end of the day. But hey, at least Hye yeong got the girl in the end am I right fellasWas this review helpful to you?

All I have to say is ew
Its a miracle that I finished this freaking show because OH MY FREAKING GOD THIS SHOW PISSED ME OFF OMLLLL. Let’s start off with my number one complaint: THE AGE GAP. Now listen, it wouldn’t be to bad if they didn’t know each other from let's say 10 to 20 and you could argue and say that they didn’t but the way that the main dude worded his sentence whenever the main girl revealed that they had met many times before he CONFIDENTLY SAID “heh I know” WHAT KIND OF CREEPY ASS SHIT IS THAT. You should NOT be proud of knowing your fucking girlfriend from the ripe age of 10 or whatever fuckass ages they were. And I neeeeed to know how his parents were okay with that creepy ass shit, cause like no way on earth were they chill with that like cmon. I would have been kicking this THIRTY YEAR OLD mans ass out on the street and telling him to never step foot on my lawn ever again, fym you're dating 1. Your former employee and 2. SOMEONE YOU KNEW SINCE SHE WAS TEN. I also want to bring up the fact that BOTH OF THEM had love interests that were 10x better than that of the main two together. The main guys love interest literally WANTED HIM BACK AFTER HE FUCKING CHASED AFTER HER, like DUDE you had the fucking girl now go get her ass omfg. And then the main girl literally had a fucking model or whatever the fuck he was chasing after her, and he literally did so much shit for her like girl you could’ve had the most gentleman man ever but NO choose the weird convenience store owning ahh. Oh also forgot to mention that THEY KISSED WHENEVER SHE WAS STILL A TEENAGER. Idc if it was initiated by her ima still complain about it because wtf. Literally the only reason I kept going with this drama is because of the convenience store setting, it was genuinely the only enjoyable thing about this show and I need to find more with this kind of vibe but without the fucking creepy ass main relationship.Was this review helpful to you?

Weird ahh ending
I started off really liking this and that feeling didn't really fade until we got up to the last episode, but I will get into that later. I saw a lot of people commenting on how confusing the plot was to follow after I had already finished it but personally I had a really easy time following along and knowing what was happening, the main thing that was going on in my mind was “this dude better not fucking die” because I hadn’t seen a single thing about that show so I had absolutely no idea what happened throughout the show. Hell I didn’t even know they had powers until maybe the second episode, thought they were just very weird. But I actually did enjoy this a lot, it surprised me how good it was. I was giggling and kicking my feet whenever the main couple interacted with each other because of their dynamic, and I love how he never backed down. He was even willing to possibly die for her at the end, mostly because it was technically his fate to do so but still like cmon. He was literally in all of her first moments too, might be a bit creepy but hey they were meant to be. It actually got me to tear up a bit too, with the daughter's story and her basically being the reason her mom died. And her interaction with gwi-ju whenever he found out that she had mind reading powers was really heart warming, both of them had been through a lot and had just been watching each other from the sidelines until then it was a very nice moment to watch them be together like that. I have to say I really did hate da-hae at first because I thought she was just an insane liar but learning her backstory of bullying and orphan life made me like her and not absolutely despise her as a character. And in the end, be it the wrong time, she did the right thing and told the lie even though if she got the money right then and there she would have been free from her debt collector. Now to the thing that made it go from 100 to a 95. That fuckass ending, sorry it's just way too much for me that this 5 year old went back and got him from the past. Too weird and I just find it so insanely stupid, other than that weird ahh ending. Beautiful series no other complaints.Was this review helpful to you?
Lacking
Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes so of course I was gonna love this one, originally it as 100/100 but then I read the manhwa. With how short and the restrictions I understand why they couldn't add everything obviously but theres highly detailed short shows so they couldve added some stuff from the manhwa, basically the only things that are the same is the base concept of the story. But that doesnt mean its bad or anything, its still a fun and sweet story. I really liked how their relationship developed, the scene when sang u treats jae youngs scratch and when Jae young pulls sang u away from all of the drunk people are probably my favorite points in the show. I dont know how to describe it very well but I think those moments were definitely the turning points from hating each other to gaining those kind of romantical feelings, its kind of weird but also kind of sweet how quickly their relationship changed.Was this review helpful to you?

Comfort without any comfort
I liked this story a lot, it was a lot more than just a love story and I feel like a lot of people choose to just ignore that. The characters shared a connection from the moment that they met that couldn't be described with simple words, they were both mentally suffering teens who needed someone to lean on and they were that person for each other. The lore with Tae hyeon was crazy and highly unexpected, like my jaw was genuinely on the floor as his story was unraveling cause jesus christ? how bro did not crash out sooner is a mystery to me. At first I did hate his character but as the story went on the more I started to understand why he was the way that he was, is that an excuse tho? no, his actions aren't justified because of that but I'm but saying that I understand him. It sucks that Da yeol gave up archery but its completely understandable as to why he did, it just makes me a little sad to think about what led up to that point. But anyways, I loved their relationship and how everything unfolded. Also i bet that ride back to the dorm after filming was weirdWas this review helpful to you?
