Yeah, they ruined it
Season 1 was 10/10. I loved it so much. It had my soul. And then season 2 performed alchemy of souls on my soul, or something.They took all personality and everything we loved out of the FL. Not just a new face, but also a completely different personality. Not to mention the ML basically got with the new FL BEFORE FINDING OUT SHE'S NAKSU. And then gets a bonus of, oh she's naksu btw. yay happy ending.

KIM HYE-YOON
This was my first time watching Kim Hye-yoon, and I planned to watch Lovely Runner right after this, without knowing the FL is the same in both. And I LOVED finding out that she is, was super excited to watch more of her again. She became my favourite actress after watching the BTS and interviews of Lovely Runner. I should remember this is a review of No Tail To Tell, but no one can stop me from yapping about Lovely Runner and Kim Hye-yoon every chance I get.The acting and cast is great, the story issss okay, good enough, nothing else really stands out, overall it was... okay... lol. Would recommend solely because everyone should watch Kim Hye-yoon LMAO. She carried it.

Textbook Marriage-of-Convenience K-drama
This was, as the title says, a textbook marriage-of-convenience kdrama. The story was literally like every other drama in the category. But the interesting part was that they showed Korea as a monarchy in the present day.I watched it for the cast, the actors are really good. Byeon Woo-seok and IU?? Sign me right up. Their chemistry was good as well, as well as that of the secondary couple. It was a nice watch, and importantly for me, the pacing was good as well.
Btw, the Gwangju from Alchemy of Souls??? The moment I saw him, I knew what was coming, lol.

The Best of Thrillers
This is probably the best a thriller gets. Will have you on the edge of your seat. Might even have you fall off.The plot, the story is SUPERB. You never truly know what's coming next.
The characters are also REALLY GOOD. Like really, really good. I really loved the main characters as individual characters in this. Everything comes together beautifully and their decisions are understandable.
The romance? The chemistry? I didn't expect a lot when I read the synopsis, but it STOLE THE SHOW.
Overall, definitely recommend. This is one of the kdramas you MUST watch if you watch kdramas at all.

One of my top favourites
I'm in the middle of my first rewatch, and man I still love it.The cast??? Park Bo Gum??? even a bad story can make a great drama with him in it. But that's not to say this had a bad story. Not at all, the whole plot and pacing was great.
I loved the team, their individual struggles, how they came together, and oh, of course, the chemistry between the two main characters! The second lead was great as well, though I don't like triangles, I like when the second lead is actually a good addition to the story.
Oh and the villainnnnnn, I can't believe Oh Jung Se played the villain!!

:/
I didn't love how she basically viewed him as a brother their whole lives, and that had to be forced to be changed since he had a crush on her from the beginning. Was pretty awkward, icl.Other than that, the cast and acting was great, pacing was great, and it was a light watch. Not a lot to be remembered, and it's been a while since I watched it.

Where was this all my life
AAAAAAAAAI love Alchemy of Souls. It's been a while since I watched it, so maybe the review won't be that in depth, but it left me with PTSD, and I still love it.
It was my first time watching Lee Jae-wook, and I really liked his acting in this! The chemistry of the main couple was CRAZY. Through the ROOF.
The story was perfect as well, also really unique, the whole fictional world. I really loved it.
Anyone who watches kdramas must watch this. What are kdramas without alchemy of souls??
I like to say, Alchemy of Souls has my soul, and Lovely Runner has my heart.
The ending left me with PTSD, and I was in physical pain from it for several days. As if I was the one who was stabbed. But I must say, season one was the only one worth watching, and you only watch season 2 because you can't let it end that way. Season 2 sucked tho, even if it at least left us with a happy ending. Watch till the rings scene in S1EP20, and just imagine it ended there. I like to imagine it just ended there. Would've been much better.

As Perfect As Perfect Gets
When Lovely Runner first released back in 2024, I thought it was overrated and DNFed it after just the first episode. After giving it another shot two years later, it has become my all-time favourite out of all I've watched in my 9 years of watching kdramas, and I simply can't get over it.Everything about it is just about as perfect as perfect gets. The plot, the characters, the chemistry, the writing, the DIALOGUE, the OST, the acting, the actors, even the BTS, God, I love it all.
