This actualy so good, i dont understand the kinda low rating. This should now be lower than 8.5 Compared to a lot of dramas which gets higher rating. Its entertaining, mysterious and funny and i love the action pieces. Every episode ends with just enough cliffhanger to make you want to come back for the next episode.
So far out of the 5 members, Jeong Hwan hasnt really done anything significant and we are already halfway. Id like to see Nam Yeon and Choi Gang fight side by side together.
Watching this again in horizontal episodic format is so much better!
Exactly, they should have released it in this original format, its much much better. I wonder why they dont have a seperate page here in MDL for the re-edited version.
well Shine won Best Bl of the year award 😉Domundi ain’t better than GMMTV.. You loved Cutie Pie and The Nexh…
hi thanks for wriitng, although i have a few questions.
Im wonderwing where in my review did i mention that i loved Cutie Pie and The Next Prince? I havent even mentioned ZeeNunew. I also didnt say Domundi is better than GMMTV.
Although Im glad that Shine won the best BL of the year, sad to say i havent seen it yet so i cant really compare it to this series. Maybe if i get the chance to watch it id change my mind and say its the best Thai BL this year instead of this one.
YKS is so good with his movements it looked flawless in those action scenes. I cant believe he is not an action star before this. Does anybody know if he did action scenes in his previous dramas? Im a comvert!
i cant believe its now only at 7.8, it deserves higher.
as much as im loving the progression so far, i have a feeling this show is going to gaslight us and its all just going to be a bromance. i hope im wrong because the latest episode is a little bit more on the frustrating side.
beautiful first episode! I have a feeling its gonna be one of the better Japanese BLs this year. This is the epitome of the perfect apanese robotic awkward over (or under?) acting!
I hope they can keep it up.
I really have to commend the show because so many things happened in 23 minutes. I know a lot of shows with almost an hour run time but with almost no story development.
This drama was probably my most anticipated one. I was soo hyped for it. Then i watched EP 1 and..i liked it a…
Hi! This thing with the cut and uncut versions mostly from Thai shows are really frustrating because ive seen a lot of times that the uncut version is not really that different from the cut version (sometimes there are just 2 or 3 scenes added thats not even more than 5 minutes). i think these production companies release 2 versions to try to make people watch the same episode twice (or more in an effort to find the difference). for me whatever is available at the moment, thats the version o watch i dont even try anymore to check if its cut or uncut version.
To be honest, if the cast isnt this cute, i wouldnt even be able to complete this season. Thomas makes my knees weak and the moment i saw him in this series i had no other choice but to continue watching. ill tell you one secret though - no mater how much i love the cast, I cant even finish the second episode of the second season - i just got so bored.
I know a lot of people dont like the first 2 episodes (that includes me) but to be fair the show did find its footing and episodes 3 - 6 are better, quite enoyable and i must say i find myself liking it now. The story progression is a little slow although were just on the middle. I think binge watching it would be a much better experience.
and here I was totally loving it. i loved the ending as a standalone topic. we could say it's a prominent topic…
wow its been a while when inl posted this review im glad to hear from people still watching tthe series now. please keep in mind that this reply is base don what little i can remember about the 2 series.
For me if this wasnt the continuation of Duty School part 1. it could have worked. The problem is the 2 shows are very different tonally from each other -. the first part was packaged as an apocalyptic scify event with lots of monsters and it was building into a.finale thats going to be monsters vs humans and then the second part at the beginning was hinting at the continuation of the first part only to become a post-war psychological drama. i oep waiting for that big finale monster battle that never happened
Some are saying this was how the book is so what can we really do. Maybe if they didnt cut it into 2 parts and just released everything all together it would lessen my pain. i am glad though that the show still has a solid following and still able to get a fairly high rating.
hello my friend. i think you ranked this a little bit high, is it because its a korean project as opposed to Thai?…
Hi! If i may think about it, I think i ranked this higher because i find this to be much more enoyable than the other series. The other series you mentioned has a much grander scale and higher production value but in trying to do so many things they ended up with so many frustrating things to the point that it felt like im being forced to sit down to watch it. This one although much smaller, lighter and "shallower" doesnt have that effect instead i found myself looking forward to their next episodes.
wow thanks for that reply. Im not disagreeing with your points and like you when i watched the original show i…
Hi again.
Like i said in my review that there was a bit of backlash even in the original series when it was revealed that the killer is transperson. Even i felt that the original didnt handle the reveal properly. At first i was even hesitant to see this series because of the sensitive topic. I only gave it a try because im a fan of both Go Hyun Jung and JDY.
Thats also why im saying that this korean remake is better than the original and handled the topic far better. For me this version opened up the topic that gender dysphoria is real and a lot of people actually experience it. It wasnt mentioned that the copycat killer re-invented herself to be a woman to kill easily.
Yes the copycat killer idolized the Mantis and fashioned herself to be like her and to continue the mantis' work and yes maybe aybe at one point she did think its easier to kil when one is woman. But for me when the nurse said she heard the copycat killer say "its such an advantage that society doesnt see women as threats" implied that it was an unexpected result that she (and the mantis) was able to get away with the numerous murder because nobody is expecting a woman to be a threat.
The copycat became a woman because of the gender dysphoria but she became a killer because of the mantis. The question is would it have been better if the copycat was of different gender? Perhaps maybe.

Cinematography feels weird, looks like it was shot on a phone. Not a good first impression.
I hope they can keep it up.
