Episode 8 is where they messed up big time

Overall, the show was so mid. If it weren't for Pond and Don, I would've rated it lower to be honest.

Things I liked:
-Than's parents! They are so cute and have such sweet love for each other and Than as well as the grandkids!
-Mawin & Nene! Absolutely loved these two so much! They were so fun and added such sass and funny moments to the series! They were in my top five characters in the series for sure!
-The group of three guys and two girls at Kin's work (AJ and them)! They brought such funny moments to the show. They were all such divas and I loved it. Wish we saw more of them honestly, especially the girls.
-Meya! Loved her!! She is so gorgeous too!
-Pond and Don's story!! I'll get more into that
-The wedding! I love when these series end with a wedding and theirs was so cute! Love that we saw people give speeches, dancing, the matching suits, the kids being a part of it, and the location, all of it I loved so much!!

Things I didn't like:
-Nat. He just annoyed me and seemed a little useless honestly
-Kin. I'll get more into that too.
-Kin and Than's relationship bored me. I liked them together, but they were so boring.
-The "what if" thing they did in the finale. Why did we spend 10 minutes on something we already knew the answer to. "What if that never happened? We would've been in love" ...Yeah no shit. We literally just watched a whole show about how despite all that, you were still in love.
-Kin leaving for that period of time just to show us that despite time apart they still love each other LIKE THAT WASN'T THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE SHOW TO BEGIN WITH. It felt like they just needed to fill airtime.

Kin and Than:
Let me start off by saying I do think they were cute together. They love each other a lot and nothing will ever stop that love. They're great dads/uncles to the kids too. I think the four of them will truly be happy together. That being said, all of this could've been avoided if Kin just TALKED TO THAN! And they prove that with their "what if" thing in the finale. Kin just annoyed me so much because if his communication issues. They were just kind of a boring couple. Neither one of them as individuals had a very interesting personality. Their personality was liking the other one and that was kind of it. They were just boring to watch. I was over them pretty quickly into the series.

Don and Pond:
These two were the best part of this show hands down. They're relationship was so good! I loved seeing their relationship develop over the show. They had phantastic chemistry too! The love they had for each other went so deep, even though they never got to express just how much they truly loved each other. I loved when they were on screen. I wish we got more time with them. Their ending was so upsetting though. Why did Don die? It felt so out of left field. And why was Pond the only one who cared that he died? Why was it so quickly rushed over? I've seen so many other viewers say it as well. I am glad they gave us more of Pond grieving and thinking of Don during the wedding, but it just felt so brushed over by everyone else in the show. I don't understand why it needed to happen anyway, but if you're going to go for this tragic moment spend more than five minutes on it! Pond's speech and the moment he had during the dance at the wedding broke me. It was devastating. Until the wedding though Pond also just became so unimportant in the show after Don died too which I didn't like. I just think the writers/creators of the show made a huge mistake killing him off. He was my favorite and one of the best, if not the best, character in the show. They deserved so much better.

Overall, it was just not good. It wasn't bad, but not good either. I really would not recommend it to people unless it was to just tell them to watch the Don and Pond storyline and skip everything else. Episode 8 really was a huge downfall for the show.

The first one is better

I watched the first movie and this one back-to-back and I have to say, the first one is way better. The budget for this movie felt a lot lower, I don't know if that's true but that's how I felt. There wasn't as many deaths or thriller scenes as the first one, so it felt like exciting to watch. Even though the movies are pretty similar in length it was a lot easier to get attached the characters in the first movie rather than this one for some reason. I liked the idea of the afterlife thing where Asuka was but for me it wasn't executed the best. The ending also just wasn't very good. Overall, in my opinion this movie was just very mid compared to the first one. Curious with how it ended what they would do with the third one.

Fantastic start, unenjoyable finish

It started off so good. I was eating it up. It was toxic but it was supposed to be, great I love to see it that’s fine. I loved the first half or so. Fan Xiao was toxic and manipulative and it made the show really fun to watch, as awful as that sounds, it was fun seeing him worm his way in between Shu Lang and his boyfriend. I even loved when Fan Xiao and Shu Lang got together...at first.

Where the show really started to lose me is when Fan Xiao went from toxic to straight up abusive and a r*pist. I'll watch a toxic relationship all day long, but the second r*pe or assault comes in is where it's enjoyable anymore. I knew I was signing up for toxicity but not abuse so it very much threw me off. There were multiple scenes where Shu Lang clearly didn't want Fan Xiao and was forced to sleep with him or kiss him, and the show just kept throwing in scenes where Fan Xiao “realizes” what he’s doing is wrong and “apologizes” but the way they do it is like they want us as the audience to actually forgive him. Like girl what?? He literally just assaulted Shu Lang. Or they would have scenes where the show is like “No guy's Shu Lang stays because wants to” like GIRL NO HE DOES NOT. Why did we take this turn?? I hate it. Why does toxicity always have to mean SA? It was plenty entertaining and toxic enough before all that.

I hated that they ended up together too. I was really hoping this show would be different and would have it so Shu Lang actually moves on and goes on with his life happily, which he does, and then they ruined it in the last 10 minutes or so but putting them back together.

Like I said, I loved the first half maybe even a bit more of this show. The main two as well as Shu Lang's boyfriend were enjoyable to watch, and I really found the story entertaining. Once they made Fan Xiao turns so possessive that he was abusive is where I really didn't like his character anymore.

As for things I liked
-I loved the chemistry between the main two actors. They did a great job as well as the rest of the cast, but the mc's really stood out to me
-The story was never boring, even when I didn't like where it went, at least it wasn't boring.
-I LOVED seeing Fan Xiao go absolutely broke at the hand of Shu Lang. He deserved it.
-I love that Shu Lang adopted Tian Tian! So cute!
-The first half of the show is what I want when it comes to toxic relationships to watch! It makes it so fun to see!
-I really liked the finale. Even though I didn't want them to end up together and wasn't happy about that, I think the finale was really good.
-The kisses and spicey scenes were pretty good

Overall, I just don't know how to feel about it because I went from being so excited for the next episode to dreading the next one.

Put Mingee on season 6

I really liked the winter getaway more than the rest of the reunion to be honest, and I loved that the getaway was mainly just Heesun and Subeen. They have such incredible chemistry, and I was so happy to see more of them. I will say it did end very abruptly, like there was supposed to be more and there just isn't. I do wish we got to see a bit more from the people who left together but didn't make it, but I'm glad we got an update of where they were all at during their screenings.

I hope Subeen and Heesun as well as Jaejin and Jooyoung stay together!! I know they're all still together as I'm writing this!

Put Mingee on season 6, she deserves better!

A beautiful and tragic story

Finally checked out this movie and I am so glad I did!! If I could give this more than 10 stars, I would. This is an incredibly beautifully tragic film. I went into this knowing nothing more than the title and knowing people cried when they watched it and nothing else. I'm really glad I went into it that way, so everything was a surprise to me.

I loved both Jae Won and Seo Yun so much. They were both such likable characters. I love how kindhearted Jae Won was and how fun Seo Yun was. They had the cutest relationship with each other too! I knew something was up with Jae Won as soon as he gave that weird excuse to why he didn't like sports.

They're story is so beautifully tragic, it's the only way I can think to describe it. I sobbed during the last 25 or so minutes. I haven't cried that hard over a piece of media since Mr. Plankton or Life Gives You Tangerines. I had a feeling this story would end sadly but didn't realize just how emotional it would be. This film is perfect and I have absolutely no notes. Huge shout out the actors as well, this was incredible.

The least threatening zombie show ever

This is a zombie show where almost nothing happens. The cast is just way too big for starters. For how many characters there are, almost none of them die. This show didn't have any actual intense moments or moments that kept you on the edge of your seat, and it should since it's a survival show!

Here are some things that take away any intensity
-It only takes place over a couple days, and the water and electricity are on for most of it, so there's already not much to worry about in terms of survival there
-A lot of the zombies are blind, so as long as you're quiet there's no threat there.
-Super easy to kill the zombies
-The zombies still go about their lives as if they're still alive and then all huddle in one area with their leader once a day, so if you avoid those places once again, you're safe.
-The zombies have feelings so if they remember you, you're safe

Some other things I didn't like about it
-Again, just way too many characters
-Almost none of the characters were given any backstory so I didn't care if they died
-For how many characters there were, a very small handful were likeable characters, and even they were just not as stupid or annoying as the rest
-The ending...wth was that ending? It didn't feel like a season finale and felt more like an episode ending. Also, it doing a one-month time skip...don't get me started.
-The group of people who were in the greenhouse were given so little screen time that I forgot they existed until they showed up again.
-Ning. I just hated her and was rooting for her death.
-Way too much explaining and theorizing was happening and way too little action

Some things I liked
-The cast! Loved seeing so many familiar faces
-The blood and effects on the zombies were great
-Had a great opening. I loved that it just threw you right in

I could honestly keep going, especially if I went into more of the characters of the show. This show was just not good. Thai horror and suspense are usually so good, so my expectations were quite high, and this was just severely disappointing. Nothing against any of the actors at all, I think it was just a bad script.
