fun starting but gets boring
okay so i liked the concept of playing silly kids games for money and the realisation that if they fail at that game, they die fr was like woah! i remember when they started shooting in the red light, green light game at first i was like wait what! it was an interesting concept, and the fact that people who were suffering came here and now they had nothing to lose so they were playing for their lives. i liked the S1 a lot but the sex part was so unnecessary 💀 S2 nd S3 was alright, liked the cast and the music. the ending idk..i felt detached w the series atp so it didn't really matter yk. i hated 100 tho, like im glad he died lol. also we got to see new side of yim siwan here which was fun bcs tell me why he's a bitchless loser in all of his series? honestly S2 & S3 had my fav actors but idk it didn't really hit much.i don't think ill watch it again tbh, when im super bored ig but yeah it was nice.

fun but predictable
honestly i started this expecting a lot but it was kind of underwhelming in a way. it was easy to predict what was happening and stuff and i feel like this kdrama had a lot of potential but it had weak execution. no offense but i feel like this kdrama only got popular because the word spread that wonyoung's sister is starring in it (baek harin).i don't think i would watch it again, it was kinda repetitive and boring, i didn't feel much immersed in this kdrama but some scenes were nice, i liked how baek harin was portrayed, a true villian, she played her part well. bo-na and da-in gave shy wlw vibes , especially da-in around bona. i know it's not exactly similar but it lowkey reminded me of ‘night has come’ kdrama

NEVER BORING! I NEED S2
omg when i say i love this kdrama!!! the storyline was so cute, i loved the father-son relationship in the past and it was so funny and adorable. the son trying to find his mom, convince his dad, getting in trouble... it was so fun i swear. i watched a drama like this after so long bcs i usually watch thriller, suspense, mystery kdramas bcs i thought romance and stuff got cringe and predictable + repetitive but i watched this for a change and it was the best decision of my life! i loved this so much! its my comfort drama, everything was perfect. i loved the dialogues — everytime i hear viva la vida or see watermelon, im reminded of this. i want their band shirt and necklace ðŸ˜.i must say...i was so late to this kdrama bcs i thought it was overhyped at first, relased in 2023 and i watched in 2025 june and i hate how i missed on this gem for so long! the scene where cheong-ha confessed and yi-chan fainted was my favourite and also the one where she gave him the nickname. i learnt the sign language of that scene. it's so cute how he went out of his way to save her, learn sign language for her, make effort for her. i hope a find a man like him. i may be biased because choi hyunwook is my favourite actor but i loved him even more here. the character fit him so well. i loved the message, the aesthetics, the songs, the storyline and EVERYTHING about this!
the scene when he lost his hearing? i was BAWLING SO BAD!! i was so happy when eun-gyeol was able to save his dad in the scene where he got in fight and he didn't lose his hearing and i was lowkey hoping he could change the future but i cried when he lost his hearing, my heart shattered so bad. that scene never fails to make me cry 😢.
i feel like yi-chan remembered how his son came to meet him in the past when he saw the record falling down from eun-gyeol's pocket and he picked it up and it was the record of the song he made with his son when they met in past. i really hope they bring a s2 bcs i miss it so so much :(((

MY FAVOURITE
i literally loved jihoon and hyunwook here. my favourite duo omg, and the ost at the start? i loved it so much. the coma scene made me cry 😠I love love love love this. it's difficult to comprehend how much i liked it, it was intense and omg jihoon's acting? hes my favourite now. i see pen different now after him omg, i don't think ive seen someone act as well as him. i could tell how he was feeling without him speaking a single word. beomseok got on my nerves and i had to remind myself that he's just a charcter and not real 😠i understand where he came from but oh boy was it horrible, the most complex charcter. i really wanna know what happened to him at end???Was this review helpful to you?
