So underatted, open ending, realistic.

This short film is so underatted the actors did great, and I quite enjoyed the ending even though others didn't.
The cinematography was nice and beautiful.

The open ending made sense to me, especially because they were kinda like experiencing new feelings.

If you watched closley you can see the other boy already had feeling for the one in the khaki hoodie (i forgot their names ?) when he kept asking for his type the boy discribed his type as tall and short hair.

The film is quite realistic and if you ask me sorta emotional. You can tell they cared for eachother dearly and didn't wanna ruin the friendships.

Also the necklace vape was kinda cool, I need it. The fact that theres no edits on tiktok about this film kills me, i only found 1 video!!

My personal ratings !
Recommend 8/10
Would watch again 6/10
Acting 7/10
Story 9.5/10
Overall 8/10

BRO, THIS SHOW... I CAN'T.

The concept is FIRE. Hero powers tied to money and losing cash whenever he uses them.. could’ve been HILARIOUS, absurd, and clever. But instead its grim, serious, NO LOGIC.

They literally erase their own rules whenever it’s convenient. Episode 3 could say one thing, episode 6 would say “nah forget that,” then episode 8 revives ep 3's logic?!

Episode 8 ends with the heroes “winning,” sang-ung and his wife get the apartment they wanted, happy music plays… and I can’t even enjoy it because everything leading there was straight bullshit!!

The detective is dumb, the wife is a liability, the "villains" keeps winning, and the pacing is all over the place. Scenes that should’ve been in the finale were smushed across episodes, NOTHING makes sense. Everything feels compacted and stretched at the same time, I feel like the show just threw spaghetti at the wall every episode and hoped we’d eat it.

Honestly, this could’ve been so much fun. Make it playful, and lean into the absurdity of cash-powered heroics. Make the protagonist a high schooler struggling to pay for his powers or face itchy red bumps. Could've Kept the wife out of the loop so we can enjoy the sneaky tension. Commit to rules! Just don’t erase your own universe? Boom! instant better show!!

Instead, we got this nonsense. I hate it... I feel like a loser for watching it, but also like… I needed to finish it to fully understand the madness. If anyone asks me, it’s a hot mess. BUT, I swear this is the kind of chaos that makes you feel alive, even if it’s infuriating.

Not my cup of tea?

I’m on episode 10, about 30 minutes in, and I don’t think I’m going to continue Oops! I’m in Jail. When I first started it, I genuinely thought this was going to be something I’d really like. The beginning felt fun, lighthearted, and clearly unserious in a way that worked. I enjoyed the humor, the dynamics, and especially the bromance. It felt like a show that knew what it was.
As the episodes go on, though, the show starts leaning more into “serious” territory, not in terms of the main plot jumping around, but in the way it introduces a lot of personal backstories and emotional subplots. And that’s where it starts to lose me. A lot of these moments feel kind of random, like they’re just placed there without enough buildup or time to really land. Some storylines feel like they needed more development, or maybe even their own episode, instead of being dropped in and then quickly moved past.
There were definitely sad moments that could have hit harder, but instead left me feeling like, “Wait, oh okay?” Some character choices also didn’t fully make sense to me, and not in a subtle or intentional way, just in a way that felt off or underexplained. It’s not bad, it just feels uneven.
Since around episode 7, I’ve kind of felt like I’m forcing myself to keep watching, and I don’t love that feeling. There are only a couple episodes left, but if I’m already checking out mentally, I’d rather stop than push through. Overall, I’d give it around a 7.5 or maybe an 8. I really liked the humor, acting, and overall vibe at the start, but where it goes with some of the emotional and character-focused stuff just isn’t really for me. This is all personal taste, though.

Personal opinion

The fact that people don't understand the ending or the movie eternal summer pisses me off so bad. You didn't truly watch it, and if you did, then watch it again.

This movie has so much depth to it, im not sure where to start.

The relationship between Jonathan and shane. While watching the movie, you can see that Jonathan and shane are almost emotionally attached even though jonathan was forced to volunteer to be his friend. Throughout the movie, you see Jonathan slowly losing his sanity and himself. His grades start to drop, and he doesn't make it to college. Before he became friends with shane, he was the top student in class. Be basically sacrificed his grades for shane.

When they get older and are seniors in highschool, you can tell shane is very attached to him and is always asking him to watch his basketball games and even at one paint says "my game went bad after you left" meaning his basketball game started going bad after Jonathan left.

Carrie, at first, I seriously hated her. And I still do. But i can't understand her at all. When her and Jonathan went to teipei and were gonna have intercourse then jonathan suddenly got up and locked himself into the bathroom. That's when he realized. Carrie knew something was weird when she was stalking him and found him reading a book on "The Theory on Transgenderism." Later on, she even asked him directly if he liked shane and advised him to confess, but still. She ended up getting with shane.

Anyway, I dont wanna talk about her.

You can tell that shane and Jonathan truly cared about one another, and after Jonathan found out shane and carrie (his ex) were dating, he left, and shane tried to follow after him

There's a big misunderstanding that shane didn't feel the same way or that he only slept with him just because he was drunk. No, shane loved him too he just couldnt come to terms with it, during the scene at the ball where Jonathan goes "me or carrie" shane acts like he didnt hear him when you know he did.

Did Shane SA Jonathan? Sorta, kinda, yes..? After shane got in the accident while drunk driving, Jonathan came and picked him up despite being upset.

Shane basically forcing himself on Jonathan was the only way he thought the friendship could be savaged. Shane knew about Jonathans feelings and his own. He thought that it would fix their relationship, Jonathan just kinda accepted it after he resisted, and I think their desperation in that scene showed how much they truly loved each other.

The ending. Im a sucker for an open ending, so I really loved it even though it hurt. You're supposed to interpret shanes' reaction to Jonathans confession yourself. Jonathan didn't have a reaction to the confessions because he already knew and wanted to keep him by his side. He just didn't wanna accept his own feelings.

Anyway Im tired of typing, but this movie has so much more depth than you think !!!

I just watched another show.

One High School Heroes – My 7/10 “Okay I just watched another show” Review

Alright, so first things first I’d give this drama an 7.2 out of 10. It’s entertaining, but not in the “this was a tight, perfectly written story” way. More like, don’t think too hard, just enjoy the ride. If you go in expecting flawless logic, you’ll be yelling “What is going on?!” every other scene.

I came into this expecting something kind of like Study Group or Weak Hero. High school crime-thriller vibes, emotionally charged fights, and characters whose backstories punch you in the gut. And in some ways, I got that. In others… it felt like there was a whole list of missed opportunities.

There were moments where random stuff just got tossed in, Filler fight scenes here, mysterious characters there, no explanation anywhere.

I get it the main character was fighting to deal with his frustration toward his dad- his family situation, and all that built-up trauma. That part actually made sense. That’s why he agreed to do the “hero” thing in the first place, and why he kept taking it too far. But the actual becoming a high school hero part? It just… happened. Not much buildup, not really any satisfying “this is the start of something” moment. I thought we’d get more vigilante-style scenes like actual clever justice work, but instead it felt like, “Okay, they’re heroes now.” It was rushed, underbaked. Like they had the perfect recipe but pulled it out of the oven 30 minutes too early.

Then there’s the characters who… I don’t even remember the names of. That guy with the bucket hat? He was just there to fight other pointless characters. Not much story, no growth, no real purpose. I kept thinking he’d join them and form a high school hero group or have some revolution later, but nope — Same with Shoeless Fighter Guy, Fun to watch? Sure. Did he matter? Not REALLYYYY..

And don’t even get me started on the hospital guy Yoongi kept visiting. The show dangled that relationship in front of us like it was important, like it was the thing driving him, and then sorta forgot to explore it, I mean sure we did get a couple of scenes but it just felt sorta empty, didn't even get his revenge right. Wasted potential, again. Same with the family dynamic, on paper we saw a lot of it… but it still felt like we didn’t really get into it. Like they were handing us information with one hand and taking it away with the other... sorta?

That said — the ending? Chef’s kiss. The fight where he’s seeing everyone he’s ever hated flash as he’s beating the guy down? Absolutely brilliant psychological touch. I love that style of editing, and those flashes of internal chaos worked so well. Same with the recurring choking scenes, they hinted at a deeper, suicidal struggle in the beginning so I thought we’d dive into more.

So yeah, it’s entertaining. I had fun.

But I still can’t really tell you EXACTLY why I had fun, which… probably says a lot about the writing. They built a gorgeous roller coaster but forgot half the track in the middle, so you’re just screaming and holding on until you hit the end! Also my bad for not really mentioning characters names, I couldn't care enough to remember all these pointless randoms!

7.2/10. I’d watch a season two, but mostly I want answers. The ending seems like it should be the beginning.

(Yes the .2 is necessary, also 30 year olds acting like freshmens in high school?)

Splurge, not rewatchable

Dont get me wrong i hate the male lead aswell and what they were doing, but I'm not gonna lie i think i wouldve LOVED this if it was just focused on him, himself, and whatever he's doing.

I hate when they add a female lead, just for the purpose of having a female lead. (Or romantic interest)

And you can not tell me that's not what she was.

They made her manipulative w family problems just so people could sympathize w her, their was so many ways and could've made that money, yet she unsatisfyingly got the money she needed from her parents at the end (pissed me off) after constantly putting the male lead— including others in danger.

Story would've been way better w/o her, i would love to watch him try and get himself out of these situations, and Mr. lee being the one to help w/o knowing that he's his boss.. that would've been fire...

I SHOULD'VE WROTE TS!!

Anyway, on a less personal note, and on a more... "watcher" note... let me yap a bit🥹

Oh Jisoo : At times, i caught myself almost rooting for him when i knew that something was going to go wrong or when he was going to get caught. I think because I sympathized for him— simply because i believed his reasoning was better than Gyu Ri's. he had no one to help him, he was his own adult at such a young age, and he had to make way.. (Is how i saw it at first), but throughout the show, I realized he definitely wasn't much different from Gyu Ri.

He was after money and did everything for money— Just like her. He didn't care when others were gonna get hurt, but only when he was gonna get caught. At the end when Minhee was confronting him and he was crying begging for forgiveness, i genuinely felt for him (jk i called him submissive) but when he found out she recorded it all— before KILLING HER (yes KILLING), he tried to convince her he would turn himself in so she should delete the footage— I thought at first.. "Why would the footage need to be deleted if you're already gonna turn yourself in?" It didn't make sense to me.. then i realized, "HES DOING ALL THAT FOR GYU RI"

Like damn.. I knew he liked her, but ALL OF THIS IS BC OF HER?! The things you do for the girl you love... (even if she constantly manipulates and doesnt respect you)

He stole Minhee's phone while she was on the ground dying— at this point, I realized how badly i misjudged him— took the phone back to his place, packed his bags while smiling thinking hes getting away, then got stabbed by Kwakki or whatever hes called— then saved my Gyu Ri.

Also, why tf did he hire a minor that goes to his literal school?!!

In conclusion: I dont have the words to describe that I dont like him, but I understand him. he's a bltch but im not sure how i feel.

Seo Minhee: I felt so bad for her. She was still a cocky bully, but i couldn't help it.

I dont have much to say about her. she's just her.

But i genuinely believe she has some sort of personality disorder and definitely abandonment issues. (We know she has panic disorder blah blah blah)

A situation that flared me up a bit was when she got fired, went to claim her job "rights," and demanded to be hired back— but it was her fault she got fired. The client was on blacklist, and Mr. Lee was on his day off and she knew that. She did all of this for her psycho boyfriend.

Regardless, that's not my point. Why did she blame "uncle" when Mr. Lee got extremely hurt when she was the one that came that day, then wouldn't leave him Mr. Lee alone, which also caused Jisoo to be kidnapped. (Also, she wasn't even working before she got fired anyway?!)

She blamed everyone but herself for anything she did wrong. She's young, but she isn't incompetent 💔 still love her ❤️‍🩹

I feel like a part of her consciousness made her feel guilty, which is one of the reasons she stayed with Mr. Lee for so long (Dont sue me. it's just a show)
————
I dont even have a conclusion

This show is confusing to me— well.. I understand it, but i didn't understand why this and why that. Everything felt so slowly fast pased.

I couldn't even get trough episode one.

I have been a bit scared to say this because of the reviews, and I wanted to like this SO BAD!! (but it's not like I'm gonna get held hostage if I say this) ... ANYWAY, I can't even continue watching EP 2, so here's my EP 1 review.

The major reason I couldn’t continue watching.. is how dragged out the scenes feel. It honestly feels like the director cares more about how the show looks than how it actually plays out. And yes, the visuals are beautiful!! That part isn’t the issue. The issue is that every single scene lingers WAY TOO LONG, especially when the main characters are talking to each other.

Teh will say one line that takes 5 maybe 10 seconds, and then the camera just stays on him for what feels like a full minute?? And they’re not doing anything but just breathing, staring, looking longingly at the other person. And it’s like… okay, when is the camera going to move? When is the other person going to respond? What is supposed to be happening right now?

There’s SO MUCH staring, and TOO MANY longing looks!! And a longing look is fine, but when it’s every interaction, every conversation, every scene, it stops feeling emotional and starts feeling awkward. I don’t think this is an acting problem at all. I actually think the actors are good. It feels like a directing and editing issue, like scenes weren’t trimmed down when they should’ve been.

While watching, I kept thinking: did they forget to cut parts out? Am I watching the wrong version? Because the pacing is so off that it pulls me out of the moment completely. Instead of feeling immersed, I’m just sitting there waiting for the camera to switch or for someone to say something.
That’s why I’m not continuing. Not because the story is bad, and not because the actors are bad, but because the way the show is structured makes it uncomfortable for me to watch.

And the MUSIC?!? OMG THE MUSIC😭 I wish there was more of it during those goddam moments, but it's just so much static. I need atleast SOME background noises? Some birds chirping, some background voices, just SOMETHING. The music was nice too, I just wish there was more of it.
