Life is a Journey.
This movie definitely demonstrates the reality of life.Mixed emotions. A rollercoaster of life.
Definitely a must to watch!
Simple yet inspirational.
I totally understand her decision of not getting treatment as she wants to enjoy her life for the last time before she rest.
She overcame her cancer, but she feels like it is time to finally accept her faith. Which is why she decided to make a bucket list of things she wants to do before she dies.
I would prob do the same thing. Spent what was left with my loved ones and did the things I've always wanted to do.
The twist was crazy. I was bawling.
Anyways, I wrote a quote about what they said about 'Journey'.
"It's not the destination. It's the journey. Life experiences don't mean anything if you don't end up where you want to. We all have goals. Were not just cruising through life. It's all about the destination.
For me, it's the journey. Because that's how you mature. That's where you learn. Sometimes, you even end up differently, depending on the journey. I believe it's the journey that allows you to mature."

Youthful memory
I’ve been hearing about how good this drama is. It was on my watchlist but never really had the chance to watch it til Monday this week during my day off. I literally binged it.I love it! The story. Chemistry. Family. Conflict. And the perseverance.
I don't really know how to explain it but this drama is very inspiring and has good meaning about life.
I'm thankful for the inspiration and motivation for life.
This drama has definitely inspired me to go for it rather than miss the opportunity.
The story about impaired hearing is very inspiring!
The quote that Chan said to Cheo is
“You don't enjoy music with just your ears. Music makes you feel with your eyes, mind and heart.” ep 12.
This drama gave me an open view of people who are struggling. And that we should be thankful for what we have. We're all struggling in life however, there are ways to overcome those difficulties. Ways to make life fun by being positive. Going out. Hanging with friends and family.
Very youthful.
The acting was amazing! I love the cast! I love the 1995 group and the 2023 group. I'm happy I get to see Choi Hyun Wook act as a student again. I miss 25-21!🥹🥹
Thankful for their amazing acting! The way they acted while doing the sign language must be hard! Truly a work of art!
The singing! Guitarist! AHHHH

‘It’s not over til it's over for real’
OmG. This drama was incredible!The cast! Was EXTRAORDINARY. It's amazing how the story was created. The plot! The friendship! And the dedication the main character has to their facial expressions. Holy. I'm also in love with the two main characters. I've been a fan of WOO do Hwan since his drama with JOY and seeing him in different kinds of roles... I'm proud as a fan!
I felt devasted with the other characters tho. That hurts a lot😫😫
All the cast did an outstanding job. After a few episodes, I realize the main girl was Saereun... I was shocked she was still part of the drama as controversy is a huge thing in Korea. However, I liked how they kept her.
She portrayed her character well.
The The ending was good! I was also shocked when I saw Siwon is part of the drama. Omg, I love him HAHAH.
I actually started watching this on the plane home from Cancun hehe
Good choice of downloading this. I'm somewhat traumatized from certain scenes as it's too brutal but hey.... It's BLOODhounds.
Haha.
Anyways, I would totally rewatch some scenes. Those scenes 🙈6/30/23 6:40pm
Good day to end JUNE 2023❤️

Perfect!
Just finished the drama and it was perfect! The ending satisfies me, their chemistry was just amazing. the revenge. Ugh! Don't even get me started! This kind of revenge is so good in a humane way. Revenging that will not make her go to jail thrills me.The second lead guy(kinda) was hot ngl🙈
I'm happy that Korean dramas have this kind of show now because sometimes when you watch a certain genre of drama, there are always those bitchy characters and I really want them to experience a source of pain and struggle. This drama helped me see that 🤣✌️.
It gives me VINCENZO. Which is good as well. That drama has more and better chemistry and interaction, however, on Dong Eun’s side It was acceptable and understandable as she went through pain and trauma that makes her not trust people.
The twist though. Omgod. I just love it! I did get lost as I forgot some scenes from the last “season”, but I'm more on the revenge moments so.
The antagonist people though! The way they portray it as a character was tremendous! The main bad girl, holy. I love her expression and emotion even though she's a pain in the ass in the drama. I first saw her in the drama MONEY HEIST. And I love her there. In this drama that she portrays, pissess me, but it shows how good of an actor she is!. I actually ship the two-second main lead people together.. And the third guy... Damn he's a keeper haha.
Anyways, I love the friendship of the antagonist people. I love their betrayal of each other. It shows that in reality, regardless of how close you are with people, and how long you've known them, they will always backstab you and gaslight you. Good drama! Worth the time and pain!❤️🫶❤️

Cute fast sweet drama
This was honestly a good 10 hr drama to binge. The main’s chemistry is so cute! The main guy, omg! After watching the episode he was actually part of VAGABOND🤩. AND I am still waiting for season two for that!The second main guy (Do WoJun) is from MONEY HEIST Korea and the third female actress (OH SENA) was actually in a relationship with (Do WoJun) on MONEY HEist. So it was kinda cute to see them here in this drama.
The drama may be basic but honestly, it's the chemistry, how their relationships started and ends that I look out for.
I love the cast so much!
Especially the female lead being badass at getting rid of the stereotype of how women should stay put and quiet. I love her for that.
I would honestly watch some of the scenes again. Their kissing and romantic scenes ❤️❤️
Supposed to finished yesterday but I went out til 4am💀.

Love the chemistry
I like the movie. I just wish there were more romantic scenes between them. Romantic relationship scenes. But omg. The way he ate those treats in her hands while being tied was hot AF! And so on🫶🫶.They're so cute ngl!
This is prob my first time seeing a Korean actor getting tied up. If you have a Korean drama similar to this... Please recommend me some🙏 I love romantic movies and dramas! Especially with comedies and jealous moments hehe.
Totally recommend watching it if you are craving a rom-com that includes consensual play🫶🫶

Amazing plot, story, acting, OST, and the ROM-COM is on point.
The twist was daebak!!
The life lesson of this drama was so unique and very realistic in our life. I like how this drama can be an example to others dealing with difficulties mentally and physically. There are still some flaws such as; confusion between the relationship of Dong Min and Yeong Jin..., not showing us more of the aftereffect of some of the casts problems.. and etc.
But overall, the cast was astonishing. It's been a while watching a drama with Kwang Soo and I am happy that he is part of this drama <3. I just wish his relationship with Sung Kyung is longer, showing ore romance, fight, and cute scene. Also their parent's problems as well. I wanted to see how they will show us(viewers) how they deal with their family problems (the main are exceptional hehe)
The MAIN lead was REMARKABLE!! Their chemistry and the way they interact and have some crazy argument is just hysterical.
I don't really want to talk about the ending since some of yall... are probably reading reviews to see if this is a good drama to watch... But...for me... the ending was good enough to not make me droll in pain! HAHA
More the less. I really recommend this to someone especially if you are looking for a drama with emotional scar, problems, romance, family problems, and roommates... It may be the same with other dramas but of course, every drama has its own flaws and uniqueness.
Personally, for me... I like how they taught us that no matter what pain or problems you are in, do not turn around and ignore it. There are also other people in this world dealing with the same symptoms or difficulties.
There was also a lot of quotes that made me realize a lot of things in life as well such as;
“When the wind blows over, then let it just blow through. When the loneliness takes over, then let it just go out the door. The pain will come, too. The pain may linger around and stay. It may stay around for a while, then leave.”
-----
This quote was the best..in my Opinion, <3
THERE MIGHT BE A SPOILER SOO....
I'm WARNING YALL--------
"Do you know what this painting of camels is about? Nomadic people in the dessert tie up their camels to the trees at night like this. But as you can see, they untie them from the trees in the morning. But the camels still don't run away. Because they remember being tired up to the tree the night before. Just like how we remember the pains from our own past. The pain and trauma from our past...keep us chained down to the ground. I have my bathroom...and you have your panic anxiety disorder.
” A person needs to know both the bitter and sweetness in life to grow and that's what keeps a relationship interesting too. But when you know nothing but the sweetness? Ugh, that's so unattractive.”
THANK YOU ;)))

I'm just saying. But.. it;s not that bad.
I watched the full episode 1 but I began to skip a lot of scenes till the end.
I began to lose interest because of the way they act... Risa's acting is more like a fear than a shy-innocent person. I like how Fukami-chan acts but there's something missing.
This is based on the Manga... tbh.. I recommend the manga more than the show, but that's just my opinion.
Thanks.

But anyway, I love the plot and story of this drama. It shows us the college life that teenagers face and overcome. I am not there yet.. One more year... but since there is a quarantine, we are not even sure if we are going back to the way it is before. The lesson is somewhat similar to being in High School but more difficulties and I guess freedom.
The romance that she has encountered as a College student is a dream for us future college students. The first meet up between them was so sweet, and of course their chemistry and romance. I also loved the life lesson they have given us. How everything happens for a reason and that we need perseverance to keep going. Have hope and be dedicated to our passion. They way they show us the fighting and breaking up with friends represent the life of our reality. lmao idk
Overall, it's not a bad little series. I may know the ending from the beginning since it's obvious but watching it til end still gives us a better view of the whole story and purpose. The quote that definitely motivated me and gave me inspiration was; "Were going to run into both good and bad times but through that journey, We’re going to grow. Only twenty years old now. There might be an unexpected failure or frustration, Or there might be even bigger happiness waiting for you. But I believe, we can do anything. All do us in the world. Wherever you are, whatever you do. We're all doing great and were going to be great. I believe in us. And I cheer for you. I hope not just me, but everyone lives their happiest days. Sincerely.” - Jieun.
It's a good life quote for us teenagers who are going to College.

Trying not to make it long but... overall... This is a good start of 2020 for me even though this drama came in 2018. I'm really impatient on dramas that are not done yet because I get distracted and began to watch diff dramas and I hate that... soo.... and right now... Catch Landing On You is still airing and That drama is SOO GOOD too... sorry, got distracted.
I'm trying my best not to spoil the story, plot twists and etc but if you are into a new genre and a very creative drama. I really recommend this because even in the end, I couldn't think of any possible ending. It's hard. Omy, idk what else to say :( I still cried at the end tho.. UGH! idk!!
There's a lot of twist tho... that's all I can say.
Soooo.... Right now since I just finished watching this drama, I will now watch The Bride Of Habaek!
Still tore and can't get over this drama, BUT YOU GOTTA MOVE ON!!

And I am very honoured and glad that I finally watched this. I saw this a while ago on Netflix but always ignored. When I finally dont have anything to watch I finally clicked it and YUP. I began to watch it like a marathon. I love the chemistry, lessons and Past experiences. I love how Dochi oppa Never give up even if his obstacles are hard to accomplish. I hope I can use what I have experience from this drama as a lesson in love. The last episode gave me tears and OFCOURSE full of laugh. The chemistry between the Grandpa and Dotchi was my fav tbh. And The bromance and aslo Panda and Dotchi but THE GRANDPA IS MY FAV. The OST IS HELLA GOOD ESPECIALLY THE SONG OF DONGHAE OPPA. Don’t Go. IMMA MISS THIS DRAMA. I really recommend thiss. I will surely watch this again especially the CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE GRANDPA????????????

Wow!
I just finished and omg I feel so OVERWHELMED in a good way. I remember watching it when it first came out and now it's done.The chemistry between the two actresses with Jang Uk is so cute and sweet. I love how they didn't like force Naksu’s character to fit Mu Deok’s personality. I like that they have their way of communicating and traits.
Not gonna lie... I somewhat forgot what happened in the first season, so I get confused about the second part but Overalls, I love it. Haha.
I love the chemistry of the characters especially the Prince with Jang Uk, they're so SWEET AAHAH.
But. Yay. I'm done. The ending tho. Wtf what does that mean? UGH ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER 🥲🥲.

This quote; "There is no sadness that lasts for eternity. There is no love that lasts for eternity either." and Eun Tak voted for "Sad love"... This quote teared me up because the commitment she is doing is just sooo amazing and a life lesson. I wish that for anyone who is looking for love or is in love, I wish for yall to be dedicated as them... This is true love!!!
Overall, this made me cry!, laugh, smile, cringe, and made me jealous xD
After watching this, it inspired me to keep going and push on in life!
The comedy in this drama will stay with me forever! HAHAH!
I also loved how Deok-Hwa is the pabo person in the drama...evne though it's mostly Grim and Goblin.
After watching Sungjae in this drama, I began to miss 'WE GOT MARRIED' with JOY T.T
Anyways! This was a fun and memorable moment of me watching GOBLIN.
Watching this drama took me almost 4 MONTHS HAHAHAHAH.
THANK GOD I FINISHED IT THO!!!
AND THAnk you for the ending <3....teared me up but that was a ----- ending <3 <3

"This is just how life is..."
This drama is easy, slow-paced, heartwarming, and inspirational.I've seen this drama numerous times on my recommendations on Netflix.. but never clicked on it because I didn't feel like watching "sad-inspirational drama". After watching Son Suk-Ku in the drama 'A Paradox Killer', his aura motivated me to check his film history and I remembered that he did a drama with Kim Ji Won, which is this drama.
The way he portrayed his police officer character in the Killer Paradox and his side villain-nie... and of course, his handsome face. This made me have no choice but to check his other drama and watch 'My LiberationNotes'. Hahaha. But I do want to watch this drama so badly. I just used that as an excuse to watch it.
Anyways, in this drama... they truly demonstrated a lot of inspirational daily life choices.
The main one is alcoholism.
It's not easy to stop drinking.
It's an addiction.
But with Mi-Jeong's coping mechanism he managed not to drown himself with alcohol.
Instead of forcing him not to drink, the way she communicates with him helps him feel comfortable and allows him to trust her.
I don't really know how to explain but their relationship is so calming. I don't think their healthy relationship can be a reality in this generation as we tend to give up easily especially the more we get to know how addicted someone is to alcohol.
Yes. Love is love... but people tend to let go... because it might damage them in the future.
I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm saying.
The family issues have definitely hit me on the inside.
One being an immigrant... we may have jobs... but that's not enough to provide for ourselves and our family. I do want to help my family in my home country... but it's hard when inflations are fucked up.
Just watching the family members work hard has made me feel emotional.
The effort their parents put into providing for their children.
Lake of verbal affection; which is very normal in Asian cultures.
Asian parents tend to show affection through food and other household chores.
The struggles the siblings face every day just to survive hits me.
Life is hard.
But as they said... if you want to make a change in your life. You have to take action. But for me... how? Idk where to start or go...
Idek what I'm saying anymore.
I'm going out of topic.
In conclusion, this drama has made me emotional mentally and physically. But they inspired me.
The only brother with his change of career... im so shocked yet proud.
There are some unanswered scenes... but I love this drama.
Regardless of little skinship. I love their characters. This is probably my first drama with little to no kissing scene. And I'm totally okay with it. Tangina ang gwapo talaga ni MR. GU. AHHH.
ITS CRAZY how he's 41 years old.
At first.. im shocked about their 10-year age gap... and how Jiwon calls him Sunbaenim... but their chemistry in this drama is on point.
I LOVE IT. WOULD definitely rewatch some of their scenes together.
