I like how the story is very realistically practical, it's very mature, deep, and sometimes would make you cry. It's very relatable is what i would say. I thought there would be an imbalance between the focus of work scenes and the lives of characters, but good thing they managed to balance the two so one wouldn't overwhelm the other. And as expected in any kdramas, the comedy hit so well, i laughed at every comedy scene.
Character-wise, again i couldn't feel the chemistry between the main couple... maybe that's just me. Song Kang's character feels like Jae-eon (Nevertheless), but make it brighter. Miyoung, this is my first time seeing her, but i know she's a veteran actress and she's really great, she's so pretty, especially when she smiles she's so cute. The 2nd main couple is good as well, i like them, i felt their chemistry, theirs is very very practical and grounded, and that's why i like them. FLs sister and assistant director, i like their relationship, because i can relate to both characters, they both have aspects that i have, but it's just separated.
Overall, good drama, I couldn't be more wrong, you shouldn't judge it in the beginning right away, because you'll be in for a good story.

Wow, thanks tiktok... I got click-baited into thinking that this was gonna be a full-on Rom-Com, but it actually wasn't all that in actuality.The story, i don't even know what to say... it starts off with business stuff, introduces the leads, both got a little wacky and it feels like romance for like the first few episodes, not until it hits you with a turn. It suddenly turned into a revenge plot of who tried to kill FL with soul switching gimmick and i was thinking "Okay... maybe this is the plot device that they're going for in order for both to develop feelings for each other" that's copium because both confessed that they don't even have an inkling of feelings for each nor they are attracted slightly. So okay, that's my romance expectation out of the window. I still kept watching because i'm interested in where this drama is even going, I mean there's a mystery crime that needs to be solved. And then around the 2nd half, it's also revealed that ML is also out to get revenge on FL because of what she did five years ago to him, at that point, i don't even know what to expect, maybe I'll sit back and enjoy this mess. I don't think i enjoyed the drama at all, it tried to mash a lot of things to not so great extent, though it somewhat managed to land on its own 2 feet in the end. The mystery was alright, aside from ML's revenge plot which came out of nowhere, FL's revenge plot pretty predictable, it's very obvious who are the enemies within the workplace and who's the puppet masters. And yes, they did have romance at the end, so i am still satisfied that the leads ended up together.
The characters, the writer is smart for making FL this strong girl with a very bad attitude, and ML who's a very wacky dummy dumb, because when the leads swap souls, it doesn't even give much of a challenge to the actors to act like the opposite gender and that's where the writer also fails in my opinion, when they swapped souls the way the characters act it just like your normal man and woman, so what's the point of even swapping them? I hope they would at least somewhat act like the opposite to showcase the versatility of the actors, but nope. One thing i really like though, is when they swapped, whatever the characters were going through mentally will be carried over to the other body and also, the other will feel the muscle memory fear of the body that they're occupying, that minor detail i really appreciated. I don't think they've ever explained why FL has this paranoia when she's in the dark, It's just there to give her a flaw because she's such a strong woman. Whereas for ML they've explored as much as you can be curious about. Some of the side characters are very quirky, they have their own unique flare from the way written to talk and act, especially the team underdog, didn't like them almost, but when they started delving into each one of them, they started to get okay.
Overall, it's alright. Watch it if you like messy Mystery with Rom-Com in it. I'm kinda disappointed because I'm a fan of both lead actors.

A Glimpse of what the Shop can offer
Kinda late, but i finally had the time to watch it and i must say, it was good.The story in the beginning was action-packed, as usual in these types of series where they drop you off in the middle of the action in the story to hook you and i don't mind it since it delivered, then backstory. I thought they'll gonna drop all the backstory at once, then continue where we left off, but nope. The way they did it is they'll only bring up a backstory when a present scene needed a context on how it led to that point and i don't know how, but it worked, it didn't really hurt the pacing of the story nor my experience since they took their time to explain things, though, at the last 3 episodes, it slowly got to me a little bit because they tied all the timeline together and i was just waiting when are they gonna go back to the action. This season is mostly a build and just a taste of what the story can offer because the backstory mostly ate all the screen time. In the back of my mind i kinda want this drama and 'Kill Bok Soon' to diverge, how hype would that be, both dramas are very similar, the difference is just the other is a movie.
The cinematography is cool as always and the action. The editing near the end annoyed the shit out of me because they chopped the scenes a lot, they don't stay in a certain part that long and they kept using the fade-to-black transition and it was so long as well, oh my god! So i guess that's my only minor critique of this show.
The characters are really good, they're all well written down to the side characters. The FL's backstory was really sad along with ML because they are tied and i really loved their relationship dynamic during the backstory, it's so wholesome. I like how they wrote FL because she isn't just this strong character on the outside just because she's the niece of ML, she actually had to work her way up, and overcome her trauma to at least become able to hold her ground, she isn't perfectly strong yet like her uncle, she still cries gets nervous and gets helped in some situation and that's what makes her a good character. FL's actress is so cute and pretty tho... it's my first time seeing her and she looks like Adora in some angle. ML, we didn't get to spend time with him in the present, we mostly got it in the backstory and it was still good by how he was built up. He was this mysterious uncle, like FL said she lived with him for 10 years, but it was almost like she didn't know anything aside from he was her uncle until he died and she found out her uncle was involved in some shady underground business and that how she got caught up in this mess. I must say Lee Dong Wook is so badass here, i want more of this kind of project please and i noticed how he talks here, it's so asmr coded, ugh!!! Not to spoil anything, his character was built up to be this perfect killer so it's very obvious to me that there's gonna be some twist to him somewhere along the series if not then maybe in season 2, judging how he analyzed the blackmail.
Another thing i appreciated and a bit of cleanse to my pallete because chinese dramas couldn't even do this one minor detail, is their foreign characters. Because in this drama foreign characters are actually speaking the language of the characters that they are portraying, yes oh my god!!! It reminded me again that "Oh yeah, koreans never miss every minor detail in their media". Whenever you have a foreign character in your show it should be obvious that they should be speaking their mother tongue to make it convincing, i don't care how broken it is or even if you butcher the language, just do it, because the viewers will appreciate it... some of course because some will not because of the language butchering. Obviously, the actors are korean, i don't know about the thai one because he looks convincing and from the way he speaks as well, i probably have to look it up. Anyway, i appreciate the effort they made to make the foreign characters speak a foreign language.
Overall, very good action series. Highly recommend it, can't wait for season 2.

What a Fun Web Drama
The story for what I thought would be forgettable, especially for a short-form drama, was actually fun. I didn't have that many expectations since I just came here for FL because this is the shortest drama I saw from her to finish. Immediately I was sold at the end of episode 1 on how uniquely fun it was. There are times in my brain when I would try to logically analyze everything because it's one of those types of story that is heavily reliant on a plot device that's not explained at all and it's just there to create a story. I would be like "No! Shut up brain! I do not want to dig deep into things or else my experience will be ruined". I was surprised for the investors that they didn't take advantage of this because if you tell me that this drama is an advertisement for a Grocery store I wouldn't be surprised about it. This was such a gold mine for product placements and it wouldn't be annoying to look at since it's part of the story. In the end, they tried to explain the intricacies of the plot device, though I don't think they needed to, since the story was already fine without it being explained. It just unveiled the curtain behind the magic which was unnecessary in my opinion.The characters... well, it's mostly about the main couple. They're pretty dynamic as the story goes on. I like their chemistry and the kissing scenes made me squeal every time for how good the usage was. FL is so lucky to have this in her portfolio as a young actress because her character requires a lot of faces and she managed to show the different sides of her. Even though she has that cutesy type of face, I prefer her serious side. I think I'm a fan now. I don't know about her first drama, but I would recommend this as a starter drama if you're getting into her. She did great here. For ML, he's fine. I liked how they balanced his character. He started strong, but when they revealed his plot twist, it kinda ruined it for me a little. It made sense for his character, but lacking in terms of acting. Overall he's good and a cutie as well.
Another minor critique is that the dubbing audio is pretty scuffed at times, but it didn't really deteriorate my watching experience.
So yeah, overall, a fun short drama. I highly recommend it. There's a 2 hours version of it where they stitched all the episodes to make it easy, so give it a watch.

The horror was okay. There was a decent number of jump scares and there was only one that fazed me because of the fast cut, like I twitch my head back a little. I watched this in 2x by the way.
The acting is good, but it could've been better, like as the mom was slowly getting cuckoo in the head they could've added some makeup to her face to show that she's really getting depressed.
The Music was okay. It did its job to elevate the horror vibes.

trashy/throwaway film
I stumbled upon this randomly and from the poster alone, I already know that it's going to be a throwaway film. Still, I decided to give it a watch since I'm bored.The story is pretty much bog-standard. I love watching trashy Films because I want to know what bad and good media are. The Fighting scenes are good, paired with good camera directing. Whoever the Art Director and Choreographer in this film are, props to them since I can see the vision that they want to show. It amazed me because my expectations going into this film were so low that it shocked me. It came out of nowhere.
The characters are entertaining. They didn't make me laugh, but I could see someone laughing at the things that they were doing. Both the FL and Antagonist FL stood out to me because of their emotional scenes. I felt the emotion. The ML, I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I know him from 'Lighter & Princess' so that's a plus because I know he can do comedy. The Taoist is obviously written to be quirky. He's entertaining, loved his fighting scenes.
Overall, a trashy/throwaway film. If you're looking for a good-written story, then this is not for you. You have to turn your brain off, if you want to give this a watch or be drunk I guess. Set your expectations very low then you will find this entertaining.

Good Start, but Fell off Slowly
I really didn't have any expectations when I went into this drama, all I know is that my sister watched this because the ML is an NCT Member.The story, was unique enough for me to get hooked in, like from the way they set everything from the first episode in order to reel you in. It had a good start, but as I kept going, I slowly wasn't really feeling it. I kept thinking about it, it's probably because I don't know where the story is going like, I know this is a romance drama so at least give me something to get invested in for me to keep watching and thankfully that's what the 2nd FLs side-plot managed to fulfill. I think I liked the 2nd half more because of how things got complicated and developed. The way the drama ended was okay.
Characters, honestly for ML I was surprised. I think we all know MV acting is vastly different from drama acting. His acting at the beginning was decent, but as I kept going, whenever he was on screen his acting stood out because it kept getting better and better. For his character, it was good, though I don't remember him getting the growth he deserved because he's dependent on FL. For FL, even though I don't like her for ML, I loved the way her character progressed throughout the drama. I didn't really feel the chemistry with Her and ML, though I must say she's pretty and hot. 2nd FL, I don't know if I ever felt this 2nd FL syndrome before, but I prefer her over the 1st, her side-plot is so good and her character is pretty dynamic because you'll go from liking and rooting for her to hating her. Can I say she's also pretty and cute as well? I think I might check out her other dramas, cuz she made an impression on me a lot. The last ML in the last few episodes is pretty good too, I feel sorry for him, I like his character.
The OST, I don't really remember much sorry xD, I guess it's good???
Overall, it is a decent drama. I don't recommend it though, but if you're an NCTzen please watch this for Doyoung. His acting is so good. If you're not, then I hope you'll find something that will make you stick till the end, it's only 10 episodes anyway.

Emotionally Compelling
I haven't watched the original stories of this, nor was I aware of them, but I still liked this film.For a short film, the story was really well done. The subtleties, the way the plot moved, everything was very well thought out. They managed to hook someone like me, who is not aware of its pre-existing world and its characters, into it.
The way it was filmed made it feel like they slowed the clips in the editing process. I'm not saying it was bad, but that's just the way I saw it. It helps you feel the scenes, and feel the emotions that are being portrayed on the screen. They don't hand you out what's supposed to be said or what you have to know sometimes, so the cinematography is there to help you understand the story and the characters. I have one minor critique, though, and also minor spoilers. There's that one scene where ML and FL are facing each other while chatting very early in the film, and while FL is talking, the camera just pans away from her face like???
The acting... in the beginning, I wasn't really paying attention to the other three because they opened up the film with Wang Churan, so already, she has my attention, and I noticed something different about her acting right away. For someone who doesn't really move her facial expressions that much, I must say it was still good, she conveys depth without relying heavily on exaggerated facial expressions. But then this sad scene appeared, and there came the acting that I was looking for from this woman, ughh!! I really felt that deep in my heart. Of course, I can't forget the other two; they did really great, especially when it was focused on them. I loved the subtleties in their acting; you can tell what the characters are feeling or even what they're thinking. Like I said, the cinematography helped, and the way they highlighted each of the characters. The way the actors say their lines, there's just something about it that's very alluring.
The music was banging; it was on point.
Final verdict: Highly recommend you watch this short film, doesn't matter if you haven't watched any of its other connections. It's really good, really emotional, really well done.

Meh film
I love my monster horror movies, they are just fun to watch whenever you wanna feel like a kid again, seeing monsters destroy shit and then seeing humans try to escape or fight back at these monsters, see what plans they can come up with to win, but this movie... this film is just boringly mid, pretty predictable what is going to happen throughout the movie, they didn't even fight the ginormous octopus that is shown in the poster, It was just teased in the beginning of the film that some mysterious monster destroyed this underwater lab to set up the opening of the movie and then again at the end bit of the film too I guess set up for a sequel??? but I doubt it would get one because it's bad.The movie was too focused on the human drama that's going on between the characters that the monster was pretty much ignored in the film, well... not totally because they explained it a little, how they discovered this new species of octopuses in the Antarctic, how it can be used to develop something beneficial to the humans, they also fought with it, but just the small ones throughout the film, though at the end a semi giant octopus showed up and it wasn't that much fun to watch. Another thing, and this is where what made me throw my suspension of disbelief out of the window, is when this one scene where an octopus was able to escape, then made itself invisible and went to use the computer, hack it, and send a distress signal to the big boss I guess?? like how??? I would've understood it if they stated that it was some kind of alien octopus species that existed years ago and was frozen for so long that global warming thawed them, like I just couldn't wrap my head around it, how this octopus is so smart without any explanations.
The CGI is somewhat passable. If you could ignore its jankiness at times, then it's not gonna ruin your viewing experience.
The characters, none of them stuck with me, they are all boring and tropey, except for Wang Xing Chen's character of course, I'm biased since I mainly watched this because of her, she's hot as always and some of the scenes that she got are very expected from her.
So yeah, meh monster film. I wouldn't recommend it and certainly, I wouldn't wanna watch it again.

It was so Funny until it wasn't
Watching this after finishing 'Till the End of the Moon' to satisfy my curiosity because I noticed when Bai Lu does goofy/bubbly acts in that drama it's really funny and brings a smile to my face, so I thought to myself that "this girl.... this actress would probably be able to do well in a comedy-drama and would be able to pull off a funny role" which she did in here and surprisingly it's her first drama series too.The story, for the most part, is really funny, and when I thought it would get stale over time or get repetitive, an unprecedented joke would come out of nowhere, catching me off guard and making me burst out laughing. This is something you're not supposed to take seriously because you'll never know what the characters or even just the background characters might do next, it's unpredictable, well... some jokes are predictable, but once in a while there's that one joke that would catch you off guard because there is no build-up. The body-swapping plot really disappointed me because it was just something that was used to create a story between the two, but it was never really taken any deeper. I'm watching, right? Body-swapping happened, then 10+ episodes in and it was like the writer forgot that that plot device existed in the story because it was hardly given any attention at all, The character just moved on with the lives of the body that they have and never even bother to figure out how to even get back to their original bodies... the characters were just like "we may or may not get back to our original bodies, who knows????" no shit of course, because you guys are not doing anything or trying to investigate things. Also, since they managed to pull some plot twist "oh gods existed in this world actually" thing, that could've been used to explain the body swapping thing, but then again it mostly ignored throughout the show. And what's up with the last 3 episodes??? Things were going well and they just had to stick the landing till the end, I was fine if you didn't bother explaining the intricacies of some other stuff, I can get behind that, but NO, NO, NO! it's like the Writer went to snort a line of coke and set everything on fire at the end. It feels like I was watching 'Till the End of the Moon' and 'W- Two Worlds' and some other dramas smashed into one (if you've stuck watching till the end, you'll know what I mean) and what I can't even believe is that the writer even managed to get everyone on board with it, the actors... I can understand because a job is a job, you'll take any role to survive in the industry.
Regarding the Characters, I give ML and FL props for acting out the opposite gender because it was actually convincing, but what disappointed me is that when the swapping happened they never really touched upon what's it like to be in an opposite gender's body, the difficulties of being man or women, those kinds of stuff, discovering the body parts, it's a minor thing, but it would've been cool if they've touched upon it more instead of just brushing it off. I was wondering why ML got the most character exploration and FL was just like "I'm an orphan and a chef... that's it" without knowing they were actually saving up FL's convoluting back story at the last 3 episodes and by that time I was fine if they didn't bother with it since the romance was already going well. The side characters are good, each of them played their roles very well and some of them are really funny as well. Them adding the cousin into the mix was a waste for me, i think the story and dynamic of the characters would've been fine without her, I think they just needed something to make FL turn to ML instead of 2nd ML, but the writer could've used 2nd FL as well, ugh!! Never mind, let's move on... ML and FL's dynamic is actually good, but I've never really felt their chemistry that much, not until they started developing feelings for each other, even then it was not tickling my heart, maybe it's just me, I don't know.
I don't even know why was I even surprised by how this drama turned out to be at the end when it already gave a hint just from the poster alone, but still, it satisfied my curiosity that Bai Lu CAN actually pull off a funny role in a comedy-drama. The short skits at the End of every episode are 10x funnier and way better romance than the actual drama itself.

It was bad, but entertaining enough to finish
After I watched Hidden Love right, Zhao Lusi piqued my attention because she did really great there, so i wanted to watch her early shows and this is the earliest that netflix has in their catalog. Also great, since Riley Wang is in here cuz i just checked 'Everybody Wants to meet you' too, though that drama was really trash.Anyway, the story... I wouldn't say it's trash, though they did add something new to the table with that "Fake relationship" concept in dramas, i think they just did it badly like they had an idea, but they didn't manage to put it all together really well. It was such a mess in the first half, but after the season 2 of the dating show, i wouldn't say it's good, but it got a littleee better enough for me to feel something and to be at least a littleee invested for me to finish it, and it got fast paced as well. FL's mom, i think she got introduced too early and it was soo sudden, like there are no bits of crumbs that we might get a FL family drama side plot incoming, she just came in storming and it never even got a proper resolution, because suddenly she's okay with her mom, like did i skipped an episode or something? why is her relationship with her mom suddenly like "Oh, we're good now", and the scam part with her mom, i kinda predicted that, but that scene with the other victims like those paid extras doesn't even give a shit, they didn't even put an effort in their acting. I also don't like how the moment she knew her composer crush was actually our male lead, immediately her feelings flipped, it wasn't like "now i'm in love with this guy" kinda thing, but it was sort of like you can tell she started developing some feelings towards Shuwei right away just because of his other identity. The accidents in this drama are soo predictable, how could you mess up something that's supposed to be a turning point for a character or story? I don't really know how to explain it... I've watched a lot of dramas that have accidents in it and it's supposed to come out as a plot twist, something you're not expecting and just happened out of nowhere, but here i can sense it a mile away and it's baaaad. I like how they handled the side plot with our 2nd male lead. It's not intrusive, and they didn't really focus on it that much, it's just there from time to time, that's probably why i never felt the 2nd lead syndrome. It's very cute and heartwarming, glad he got a proper closure. 2nd couple's side plot was a nice break, for how messy our main couple was, but it got messy too as it went on and i wasn't expecting it to turn out that way, though i'm glad it got a proper closure too. In the very late game, i don't know why did this, but why introduce a new girl? I get it she had some sort of contribution to the story, but i think that is unnecessary, there's a lot of ways you could've done that without adding a new character to the story, it just stretched out the last parts of the show. The japanese dubbing in the last episode was so obvious, but props to them since it matched Zhao Lusi's voice
The characters, I think they're all ok and the acting too was meh... it's passable. The one that stood out to me in the beginning was the 2nd couple, again it was nice, but it got messy as it went on, their acting was okay and then i switched to our main couple because they got better in the 2nd half. Zhao Lusi, although i like you here, because you're so cute and adorable, but this is me after watching your recent work 'Hidden Love' so there's a very big difference in your acting. In here, i can tell it's not up to par with what your current acting skills can show, i don't really have much to say about your character here, aside from 'it's okay'. Riley wang, this is the 2nd drama that I've watched that he's in and to be honest, I feel bad for him because this one too is still bad, He really needs to be given a good written and scripted drama. Also, at the same time i don't like his acting here, he's just a frowning soulless character, that's not how you act cold. You just look like you're angry all the time. I don't even think I've seen his character smile genuinely in this show and it didn't develop much at all. I don't know if i'm supposed to blame your acting or the writer...
The music was okay, i mean it's there... good. Though i liked the violin stuff. I wish they did that more.
Cinematography is ok, but i just noticed this, and not just here, but in other cdramas as well, when they do video calls, dashcam, or cctv footage stuff it's always a full on cinematography, oh my god.. are you really that lazy to film those kinds of shot? like, have an intern film those for you if you couldn't be bothered to film it yourself. In most cases, you're not gonna bother eyeing that shit, but it's just that, i would notice it every time. Stop it!!!
So yeah... overall, this drama is bad, but still entertaining enough, like the first half if you could endure, and get past that then you're probably gonna enjoy the 2nd half since that's where it'll get better in terms of story and characters. Would i watch this again? heck no!

Good Acting and CGI, but failed on the Narrative
Ever since One Piece live-action came out right, I had high hopes that the following live-actions from now on will be at least decent since OP proved that it can be done, but i'm still on the fence since it's always gonna be 50-50 when it comes to adapting an anime or manga into a live-action.In the beginning, it was really really good. I think the first 2 episodes had good pacing and writing, but in the remaining 3 episodes, the pacing of the story started really becoming fast, like 100 miles an hour. I think right that if they wanna condense the story all the way to defeating Toguro if the higher-ups behind this had no choice but to really condense it all, if they had at least given it 10 episodes run time, i think it would be a decent enough time to give the characters some depth and their dynamic/chemistry with the other characters and take the time to build up the story enough.
I think what really carried this adaptation, to compensate for the fast-paced story is the good action and CGI. My god, the fight choreographies here are so good, whoever is in charge in that department did a really good job, the fights are really awesome. And the CGI, they poured in some money in their goddamn, it came out really really good and clean and I like how they visualize the realms, it's so beautiful, props to the art heads behind those set, that why i think if this had more episodes, it could've taken the time and showcase the realms, cuz they just brushed it off as if it's just there.
The characters, again because the story is fast-paced AF we didn't even get that much time to get really invested in these characters, but they showed enough for us to care, aside from our mc Yusuke and Kuwabara, because in the beginning, they build them up fairly well. The acting... you know, i hate it in japanese films when the actors imitate the anime acting in real life, like you're not a fictional entity, why are you imitating this thing that only works in animation? but here i think the actors did a good job at portraying the characters. I think the only actor that really embodied the anime acting, but still came out really good was Kazuma. He's so good and can we just appreciate how alluring the voices of the actors? like my god! I'm using in-ears watching this show right and ooohhf! them voices tho!! It's so asmr coded. The costumes of some of these actors, like it didn't look like they were cosplaying at all, we probably aside from Hiei. When i first saw him, he really looked just like a cosplayer, but everybody else they really are in tune with their characters.
Overall, as a fan, this was a really good adaptation in terms of action and cgi, but i'm disappointed because they failed in the story for how fast it is. If you're someone who's never heard of Yu Yu Hakusho before and you're going in blindly in this, i think this is a good gateway for the anime or its manga.

Boring Zombie Series, full of Cute Girls
This show is just boring. The gist of the story is not something new, but props for trying something creative. As a zombie show, this is just trash, but it's full of kawaii girls so I get the appeal of it.Some of the mains had okay acting, as for the rest they're very meh, from what i can see i think everybody here are newbies, the teacher had decent acting, and the news reporter is just a bad actor.
The effects were really clean especially when the zombies transform, but the fire explosions in the last episodes were really horrendous, but honestly? wtf is up with that not so scary jumpscare ad break? there are 3 in every episode, at first it caught me off guard, but since you'd be expecting it every episode, it not even scaring me anymore.
The music is almost nonexistent in this series i think that's what lacking to at least make this really eerie, but that upbeat J-pop song really annoyed the fuck out of me, wtf??? this film is supposed to be horror, why the upbeat jpop? but at least they have okay sound effects that's one point.
Nothing else to say, just skip this if you're looking for a good japanese horror, but if you like your cute girls in jdramas then go for it.

Honestly, what on earth did i just watched?!?!
The film starts off with our 3 MLs without even exploring their characters for viewers to get invested in them, all we know is that they are a film club and they are out on Club Vacation because after this they are gonna be out in the Adultworld. They teased us in the beginning this will probably turn into a killer film. Then we got introduced to our FL and the dialogue interaction with our 3 MLs towards her was soo bad, it's soo unnatural, it looked like the scriptwriter never had a real interaction with a woman, i think it's because our 3 MLs are those virgin boys who never had a girlfriend before, that's probably why.Then the filmed turn into a mystery for a bit then turned into a killer horror film, i don't even know what is happening and those old actors are bad at acting as killers too, everyone in this film is acting like anime characters, except they are not that why its soo bad, but whoever is the actress of Tasaki yuki, she's really cute thooo, i think i like her, she looks like a combination of Chuu and Kanna Hashimoto.
After this whole ordeal of chasing, killing then there's blood and shit, we found out that this whole situation was a big misunderstanding which was so OBVIOUS!!! because of what granny said when she was introduced and then they rewind back to where grandpa was introduced which is early in the film, just to show the other side of this movie how the misunderstandings happened.
Then we cut back where the film left off and all of the characters are sitting down for a hot pot, it's chill, nice, and cozy, they are eating and talking, getting to know each other, and then we get hinted at something, then sleep. Moments later, they finally revealed a plot twist with who's the real antagonist which was obvious as well, and what the motives are and connected the dots that were hinted at in the beginning, shit is happening, gore everywhere, police came and the movie ended with an open ending and our Main Male lead finally reunited with her crush happily.
To be honest, this was a bad film it looked like it was filmed by a bunch of amateurs that had a wacky idea and tried to turn it into a reality, and even though it came out really dumb, it was still fun, like dumb-fun, it's soo bad that it's good, that you can't even take it seriously, i don't even know if you're supposed to take this movie seriously and you're just having a good time laughing for how bad this movie was. That is my biggest compliment, yet the biggest diss for this film.
