I need season 2
I loved this drama so so so much! Likethis one got the place in my
favourites from episode 1! From the
beginning till the end the drama
doesn’t disappoint a little. It is so
intruiging and intresting. The one
thing I liked most about the drama is
how it unfolded every element and
character of the story little by little.
Like the pace of the drama was so
perfect! Another thing is that they made
me suspiocious of every little
character! Like literally any character
can be the killer! Everyone has a
motive and the power to kill our victim
and that factor played with my mind so
much. Like first a character is
introduced to us and then after 20 or
30 minutes it is told to us that "oh
he/she can be the killer!" But then
after a while “ no maybe not” is told to
us but then again they become the
suspect like god after watching this
drama I surely got some trust issues
lol. Every new episode changes the
possible suspect lol. Another thing I
liked about this drama is its characters.
Normally dramas are either plot-driven
or character driven, this one was both.
Maybe plot-driven more but the way
they showed every character’s flaws
and problems is something I really
liked. No character was innocent and I
love things like that hihi. I know I’m
weird but whatever.
The acting is again so so good. I
literally felt that all the characters
existed in real life like it was so real. I
have to applaud for all the cast.
Especially the actor who played hwang
shi mok cuz its not at all easy to play
a character who is emotionless and
yet show his emotions in way that the
audience knows what he is feeling but
without spoiling the fact that he is
emotionless and the way he did it was
incredibly good. Other actors were of
course amazing but I have to give him
a special mention cuz god I think he
deserves award for his acting.
The drama is not at all for the people
who like light dramas cuz I don’t think
there is anything light about this
drama. There 0.01% romance in it lol.
But if you are looking for a mystery/
thriller drama that plays with your
mind and makes it nearly impossible
to guess who is the killer then this
one is surely for you. Now let me tell
you a fun fact that made my respect
for this drama even bigger- me, a
person who MOSTLY guesses the
killer before perfectly right, failed to
guess him/her in this one.
Honestly till the end, my guess was
that “ anyone can be the killer” lol like
god it was hard to even fix on
someone and say “ yes he/she is a
killer!” that drama tricked ME! That
insanely good it is! Lol I am really sad
and fascinated by the fact that I
couldn’t guess lol.
Also even though the drama is a
mystery I loved the way they showed
us about korea’s corruption. The
message of the drama was to literally
inform and tell the people to stop
doing this even though we know no
one’s gonna stop but like its not gonna
hurt to try, right? I love dramas that
give a kind of social message.
Even though the drama is a mystery
and a very brilliantly done one it made
ME cry two times! And honestly that’s
a lot for me! Korean dramas often fail
to make me cry but this was an
exception. Overall this drama is one of
the best. If you like mystery/thrillers
then please do watch this one!
It is insanely good! Every episode and
every second is important like
honestly I didn’t even blink for a
second cuz I was afraid that would
miss something haha. Everything
from was perfect. The story was
brilliantly written and done/shown by
the director and the actors. I love this
drama so much!

A masterpiece
Today I finished this drama and I swearthis is one of the best stories I have ever
known. Many people don’t believe when
I tell them this but I am hopeless
romantic and this is a love story that
transcends time, body and everything.
With that the drama’s sub-genre is
psychological and you guys already
know how I love this genre.
On top of that every character is well
written and has his or her own story. It
has one of the biggest plot twist which
made my mind go crazy in the first half
of the drama cuz I had so many theories
and there was one theory of mine that I
thought it is correct and it was! And I
swear I have never been so happy but
the day I got to know my theory was
right I was like in cloud 9!
I was screaming “I was right!” like a
crazy person the whole day and my
mom confirmed that I am crazy person
lol. Although the series has one big plot
twist that only intellectuals like me can
guess lol but there are many more new
plot twists to it and I am not lying when
I say that this is the most creative way I
have seen time travel in dramas like
ever.
Kiss that kills is the second most and
this one is the first one. I am having a
hard time to explain how the drama is
so good cuz if I say a lot then I will
spoil the story and that is not at all
acceptable cuz the drama is all about
its twisted story with it's unique
characters with one of the best romance
and the OSTs are freaking good! Like
sooo good! Every single OST has won
over my heart.
The drama is about TRUE LOVE and
even though I don’t believe in love at
first sight I have to admit that I believe
in true love and I guess many of us
does. The first 2 episode of the drama
can be labeled as boring cuz they are
introductions but after 3rd episode the
story starts to develop itself.
I swear this is one of the saddest story I
have ever known following moon lovers
and 1 litres of tears. I would call this
drama truly a masterpiece. As I said
earlier that I cannot say much more cuz
it will spoil the story but please watch
this drama if you are into true love, time
travel, mystery and psychological things.
Although the drama was very famous
in Taiwan it is not popular internationally
so please watch it you will not regret it.

The best live-action drama ever
I think I have never ever talked about thismasterpiece with anyone and that is a big
shame. It is based on a very famous
Japanese anime and as I was very lazy to
watch so many episodes of an anime I
watched this short drama with my mother
and well we pretty much were addicted.
Like it was so good.
The mystery as who the killer was superb
and well we are proud to say that we
guessed right! Our guess was right! But it
is not all about the serial killer. I mean the
most part is of that bit also as to how he
will fight with him. It is totally a mystery
drama with a mix of time travel but is
totally worth and I seriously love how
realistic it was.
For example spoiler alert!! The fact that in
order to save agirl from getting killed he
himself fell in coma for 5 years and in the
end that girl married his bestfriend stil kills
me. Like this is so real lol. Spoiler end.
I swear this a masterpiece kind of drama
with perfect acting, cinematography and of
course the story was all just perfect!

It makes you cry more than one litre
This is a kind of drama that will make youcry if you are human if you did not cry then
you are not a human !! Period. Like a little
slightly a teenie tiny tear can also prove
your humanity ... But no !
This drama is not only to make you cry .
This drama shows the sad tragic reality to
you which many of you don't know about
but happens to lot of people in this world
how the overcome it and learn from them
how to live your life ...
If I have to describe this show in one
sentence it will " this story is about a girl's
fight through a deadly terrible dieseas " . It
teaches a lot of lesson .You know this girl
has a disease which makes her unable to
walk , talk, eat ,. write and literally
everything ! But still this girl wants to
live !
Even though she can't go to bathroom
without someone's support , even though
she can't achieve her dreams, live a
normal life , have a boyfriend even though
all of these this girl wants to live and
force us all to live !
This drama do not only talk about aya it
also tell a about her family ...her parents
...her sister and brothers .. her freinds and
all the persons around her surrounding .
It shows you that how people treat disable
people and how you should actually treat
them .The way you treat them now is not
right ! This drama shows you the right
way !
In the end this drama is a hidden gem in
kdrama community or internationally. But
in Japan it's last episode received rating
of 20%+. So you can understand the
popularity ....
It contains the best actors as the mains.
But other actors did their job perfectly .So
this drama is a kind of drama that you
should watch before dying !! This is a
must!!! The fact that Aya really existed
makes me cry even more. Well in
conclusion I love this drama.

Just incredibly amazing
Thisdrama is just awesome. It is very well
written, all of the actors did a perfect job.
The cinematography is just perfect. The
direction is perfect too. The OST gives me
goosbumps and is always played at the
perfect timing. Every character is very
well-written and the drama has full of
twists and turns.
It a serious drama with serious topics but
the fact that it still makes you laugh out
loud at times is just fabulous. Its like the
drama is so perfect that it controls your
emotions. It’s a full roller coaster of
emotions and the fact the villain in this
drama isn’t shown as the “ most evil”
person is so much amzing. Like in other
dramas when they show that villain is the
worst person.
This drama showed us the perspectic of
the villain too and her reasons as why she
does the stuff she doing now. All the
characters have their own flaws. Mostly
dramas try to show that the main leads
are down-to-earth and are just perfect
but this drama did the exact opposite. It
showed how the main characters were
flawed a lot.
Also the drama gives a very strong
message to not only the Korean society
but to the whole world that why should
you pressurize your students so much to
study. Its just an awesome drama and I
just don’t have words to explain my love
for it.

Your heart remembers
Have you ever watched a drama that was so good and touched your heart so much that you wanted to scream? This drama made me feel all that. Essentially, it's a story about a woman who forgets yesterday after waking up and reads her diary to remind herself of her daily life and works desperately to work as a neurosurgeon with this illness. At first, i was hesitant to watch it cuz the concept is very cliche. Japanese people somehow discovered this disease in the 2000s and decided to make thousands of stories based on this disease which I'm not sure even exists. But my god this drama is so much more than that.The way Miyabi is written is so wonderful. She's a strong female lead. Her presence is so comforting and you can feel that through the screen itself. Every character has their own story and motives to do the things the way they do and the drama draws emphasis on each of their stories and make you feel for them in such a beautiful way. This is actually one of the few times I felt so much for a second couple btw i usually don't care about them. But the drama made me connect with all the characters literally. I cried for them all literally.
The way the drama has wrote each relationship is commendable. The make you feel for each of them, even the patient's story. It's about the beauty of simple life and human emotions and how humans struggle for simple happiness.
Sanpei and Miyabi's love story has to be the most beautiful love story I've seen . It's so beautiful to watch. It feels like there's a soul connection between them . It's like they invented romance. Their each interaction made me feel so much that 'ahh this is love'. They are literally everything for one another. Their connection is so precious my god.
Each actor did so well my god. They all need to give a masterclass in acting. They were very dedicated towards their roles. Among the gems, Sugasaki Han still shone the brightest. She made a lot of changes in the script to make so many scenes much more memorable. I'm so impressed by her.
And each song complemented so well the scene
Overall, this has to be my favourite drama of the year. I loved everything about it. I really want to give it a 10 but I wanted more from that ending. So much so that it's bothering me so

But my god I thoroughly enjoyed this drama so much and it was cleverly written! There was not a single moment that bored me and it's honestly hard to find kdramas as long as 16 episodes that doesn't bore me for even a second but here's this one! All the characters were so understandbly ( if that's a word lol ) smart . Usually thriller dramas starts becoming frustrating because of dumb characters but here this was not a case at all.
Usually mystery dramas either have police as main leads or else the police is corrupt or dumb and leads do all the work. Although here the leads do most of the work, the police is neither dumb nor corrupt and they do help them fairly.
The Villians are also interesting and entertaining and I loved how they weren't always labelled as the bad guys and we were explained their situations too. Atleast some of them.
I genuinely started liking the characters and got attached to them so that was a plus point. The story is full of plot twists but they are handled in a way so it doesn't butcher the story and characterization and that's what I love most about the drama.
Even though the plot/theme is nothing new and the drama does have some flaws but I think those flaws are very minor and shouldn't decrease my rating but still they exist so I'm giving it a 9.5 but it's a masterpiece for me for sure and is forever gonna stay in my favourites!

A great show
I like this drama but not a lot 😅 I can'tunderstand the people saying that it's
the best drama for them like I mean I
agree it's good and not boring but it's
not THAT good in my opinion or I
guess I'm just being picky again😂
Ok so as you read in the plot the drama
is about two guys who are not gay😂 I
seriously am watching so many BLs
so like I have clear myself as who is
gay and who is not😂 please don't
mind me.... Yeah so one guy is on
wheel chair due to some unknown
disease and the other guy has no job
and just is an errand boy in his 30s 😂
they both work in a company where
their client gives them a file in his or
her computer or laptop which they
wants to be deleted after they die and
they give that job to our boys. So like
basically most of the people have
some kinds of secrets that they don't
want to tell anyone even after their
death and that's why they ask them to
be deleted cuz no one will do that after
they are dead. According to the rules
they are not allowed to see their client's
data themselves but that would be no
fun so the drama is about 8 special
cases where they see the data and you
know investigate who killed or why did
they did suicide or why did do that or
this. It can be called an investigation
type of drama but is kinda different.
The stories and the clients are always
different every episode. My most
favourite episodes are the supernatural
one and the gay one cuz really the plot
twist at both of them was something
even I didn't imagined. Besides those
episodes the other stories were kind of
predictable but I still enjoyed them a
lot for sure. The bromance was of
course good. Romance is not at all
there sadly😅 but yeah the bromance is
strong. Also every story teaches some
kind of life lessons and that is
something I really liked. Basically if you
are into investigation type of dramas
this one is for you.

The story talks about bullying, abusive teachers, classism, following dreams and choosing to not follow them,the idea of success, justice and so much more. I also think this is a love letter to art because our characters are Otakus and their love for art is transferred through the screen.
Despite all of these serious topics, it never feels preachy. It's got it's heart in the right place.
The mystery was really interesting till the ending. I absolutely LOVED how everything was tied together by the end. Oh also,I'm in love Matilda.

I personally prefer to consume Asian fiction more compared to Western fictional because I feel I tend to connect to their storytelling more. A major reason for that is I find Asian culture collectivism bleeds into their stories and so does Western individualistic mindset in theirs. I find a sense of homeliness in Asian fiction and a sense of isolation in Western fiction. Happyend blended those feelings perfectly. Maybe it's because the director is both Japanese and American as I could find both the ideologies blended perfectly in this.
There's a sense of comfort as we watch these teenagers dynamic, their everyday gimmicks, their treasured friendships but there's isolate in the way they drift apart because of their different opinions.
This movie speaks to you in such a personal and political way. You cannot look away. The two protagonists' view points are explained beautifully and what makes them think that way is also portrayed. The movie wants us to think. It doesn't pick a side. You can see your way of thinking represented in any of the characters. I personally agree with Yuta's character. But what I love the most is the film adapts this amalgamation of opinions, acceptance of other's opinions perfectly. A lot of people are head-strong in their belief system. They will not change it no matter what. There are people who change their opinions after listening to others or give the other perspective a chance while still holding on to their opinions. There are people who don't do anything substantial while having a loud morale voice and there are people who actually do something concrete yet refuse to talk much about it.
It's movie about youth standing against authority that tries to monitor their every moment which makes it a coming of age movie. But we, as adults also face this dilemma every single day. Whether to accept this unfair reality of fight against even if doing so won't change much. It's a beautiful movie with lots of symbolism and the most wonderful part is, it will make you have entirety different perspectives and readings of the screenplay. This was mine. Thanks for watching.

That qoute applies to mental violence too. NGL, I have a soft spot for characters that are struggling to be better, comparing themselves from everyone and hating themselves why they can't be more better at anything cuz more than half of my life I have cried over this. Although I'm fine and have realised that doing things like that is not only stupid but self-destructive, I know the feeling to well for me to not feel bad for our main character.
This drama is about how society is running at such a fast paced that Normal people like us that don't stand out or aren't special are automatically rejected by society. No matter how hard you try they are gonna reject you and call you a useless human being. As someone who's experienced this, it hits too close to home.
We have a protagonist that wants to stand out and wants to hear one atleast one compliment from her own mother. The drama is not for everyone. It's dark and unsettling. It explores the mind of a criminal with depth. It goes deep down into the theory that monsters are made by society and not born. Definitely it's the criminal's fault for becoming a criminal, maybe if someone else was in their situation they still wouldn't have lost their morals but I love these kinds of stories where they show how they became a criminal without glorifying anything.
sometimes sadness is so bottled up inside you that it turns into rage. This story is also the portrayal of that. It's definitely a mystery but the psychological parts are more important imo but it sure has its plot twists that doesn't seem forced and fits the story well.
The acting is also very well done as aspected from the well aclaimed cast and the musuc reallu got you into the atmosphere.
I was kinda confused if I should give it a 9.5 or 10 but that ending just got my feelings all over the place so it's a 10/10

Although I understand it was intentional, as the makers wanted to "test" their audience or rather wanted to see if the audience will support the people who would do bad deeds when told why they do so and I'm a person that totally feels for literally most of the Villians in dramas but I definitely don't justify what they did.
It's the same here, no matter how bad they wanted me to pity them well I did pity and empathize with them in the beginning but then they reached a point where I just couldn't justify what they were doing.
They literally became merciless criminals and I think the transactioning is very brilliantly done and the story is brilliantly produced but it just wasn't that great to me since no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't love the characters .
Honestly I don't know why , it just couldn't touch my heart but I have to say it's an incredibly great drama that showcases every one is grey and criminals have their own "reasons" for becoming who they are. In a way the drama glorified their doings which just wasn't it for me.

A great mixture of family lessons and mystery
This one reminded me a lot about Nno tame ni and sky castle. It's a
honestly a perfect fusion of two
amazing dramas but I don't wanna
compare masterpieces to other
masterpieces. Although the dramas
do has a lot of similarities to N no
tame ni and I think that is because
the author of both of the dramas is
the same. So the narrative is kinda
same. This drama is more of a
family drama than a mystery one. I
also started it for the mystery of
who is the killer? But when I
reached the end of the drama the
killer didn't matter anymore. I was
more interested in the character's
life, their difficulties and how would
they overcome them. If you like
mystery dramas you'll surely like
this one but if you like family
dramas then please watch this one
cuz it's truly good!
The shows focuses on two families,
one is rich and the children in the
family all are gifted students plus
they all are the kindest people in
the world. The other family is also
kind but they are not at all rich and
hence living with the rich people
resulted in the family losing their
happiness. Now a murder occurs in
our PERFECT family but when?
Why in the world a murder occurred
in a family so perfect like theirs?
The drama literally tells us that
every family has their secret and
the problems a family faces and
how should they overcome them.
I'm not at all the person to watch a
family drama, I watched this drama
for the mystery but the honestly the
family drama is so good that I just
got pulled into it. I'm still not a big
fan of family dramas but I guess
this was an exception. Also I was
very surprised to see Taishi
nakagawa in this drama and he's
so small like a baby 🥺🥺
The only thing I don't like about this
drama is it's name. It doesn't make
sense. Ok I know the Ferris wheel
has a part in the drama but it's not
that major and it had nothing to
with the murder. I think they
should've named it something
else. Like " family's secret " or idk.
I'm so bad at naming things but
the current name is not good too.
Ok so moving on the drama is literally
gold! And I loved it. I finished it in
3 days 😂😂 every episode is
suspensfull and interesting. The
characters are something very
important in this one. Overall it
deserves to be watch atleast one
time in life!!!

One of the best psychological thriller
I finished this drama in just 2 days lolmost probably because I was free cuz it
is summer vacations and also the drama
is kinda short. Now I watched this drama
in a rush because I read in a
psychological article that this drama’s
one character has the same personality
as me and I can relate with him and
when there is a character whom I can
relate with then the drama becomes 10
times more interesting for me lol.
Now let’s talk about the drama. As you
have already read in the synopsis the
drama is about three brothers, all of them
hate their father. Now their father is killed,
all the brothers are prime suspect but who
is the killer? Yes the drama is definitely a
mystery and crime investigation type but
that is not its main genre or theme which
makes the drama more interesting.
The drama is pure psychological and so is
the book which it is based on. The drama
explores the minds and lives of the three
brothers and how they hate their father
and their own weaknesses and goodness.
My favourite character is without a doubt
ryo because he is the one I relate with
and he is my twin as the article said. I
really loved how everyone respected him
and loved him, even their evil father
respected him and that just shows how
valuable I am lol just kidding but
seriously the portrayal of ryo’s life and
worries was excellent cuz his problems
are totally my problems. We both our own
worst critics even though everyone loves
us haha.
Basically the drama is all about how a
person has a dark and bad side to him or
her. All the three brothers have a dark
side to them and all of them secretly
wish their father to be dead but who is
the one who obeyed his dark side and
really killed the father? Its totally one of
the best representation of human nature
and its dark side and also talks about
society. The story is really incredible at
least for me who loves psychological
dramas and this one is without a doubt
the best one I have seen yet.
I also fell in love with it's cinematography
and camera angels also its editing is
unique but wonderful and fits the drama
perfectly. The drama is for sure
character driven and even if you don’t
like dark stuff I recommend this drama
to you because I think this is one of
those dramas that every human should
watch as it makes us question about
humanity and their nature.
It totally was an unforgettable watch
and the mystery good too. Even though
my guess of who the kiler is was correct
but you know what I am mostly right so
that’s no biggie but for those who are
new in mystery and can’t really guess
who the killer is, the mystery is great for
them but for the people like me and my
mother who are experienced with these
kinds of shows, you people might guess
the killer like me. The only thing I disliked
about this drama is that my twin ryo
didn’t got a girlfriend. I mean are people
like us destined to be single forever ? lol

A masterpiece of a heart-touching slice-of-life story
I wanted to watch a slice-of-life drama and I found this.I loved the synopsis and started it and God what a ride. Usually slice-of-life dramas are slow and that's why some people don't like them cuz slow means boring to them.Honestly, I too am not much fond of slow dramas but this slice-of-life drama was just awesome! From the beginning to the end it was never boring! I wouldn't say it was slow I would say it was too fast and intense! Like so much intensity it had! AHH.
Like in the first episode 1 guy died and the other wanted to murder 😳😳😳( this is not a spoiler I swear haha )
As you might have read in the story part, the drama is about two families. One family is of the victim and the other one is of the killer. It's the story of their struggles and the unusual relationship of them.
As a slice-of-life drama, it was given that it would be a realistic one but many slice-of-life dramas exaggerate things, this one wasn't like that. All the things that happened felt real.
It was honestly too real and it my heart feels pain whenever I think that these kinds of things really happens in reality.
The drama was a mega hit in Japan and MDL reviews were all positive, after completing I think it deserves all the love it got cuz the screenwriting is amazing
( truly deserved the award) I usually love to analyse scripts and this one has one of the best I swear! Every dialogue has depth and meaningful. It really has an amazing script!
And the acting...oh lord oh...I don't have words to describe how much I liked the acting. Seriously although only one of the main actor won the best actor award I really think others deserved it too!
Specially the actress who played aki's mother cuz god her acting was fabulous! Every actor and actress is just... incredibly amazing. Really it is hard to find a drama with such great cast.
The emotions delivered were so amazing. The drama felt realistic cuz of the amazing script and the amazing way it was delivered by the incredible actors!
The direction didn't caught much of my attention even though all the three directors won the best director awards 😂😂 but it wasn't so special to me 😅
The picture quality was rubbish so the drama won't be cup of tea for every one cuz a lot of people want to see dramas of good picture quality which is something I don't care about but whatever.
If I had to describe the show in one line then it would " the families struggling to find happiness in life".
Yes the whole drama is just about that. Happiness. It's a word both of the families want to have but can't since 15 years and maybe will never obtain it.
The drama shows how some wounds can never heal...or maybe they can.. idk...no one knows.
It's a very tragic story like very. I cried in literally every episode. I mean they weren't literal tears. They were little tears idk how to explain lol but yes.
As I said it's a very intense drama , seriously it is. It has kind of a dark humour too if you like that like I do 🌚🌚🌚
It's an amazing slice-of-life drama with a very flowing story. Like it's not slow and it's not fast, it's flow is just perfect. With amazing characters and yes psychology!
Psychology is in there cuz there is a guy with some mental illness and I love how they tried to tell the audience his feelings too and not just label him as the "villian".
Overall this drama is an amazing slice-of-life with a tragic story and a message " no matter what life throws at you, you'll still live" the message is cruel but all the drama they are trying to tell us that life is hard but we gotta
love for no reason. Just live. It's not a drama to describe by one. It's a drama you'd understand while watching it yourself and feeling every thing.
Just watch it if you love slice-of-life dramas or tragic dramas! This one has got a place in my favourite do ana list without a further ado! And no wonder the drama won the best drama award in Japan! Truly deserved!
