Never thought I'd say death was gorgeous
I LOVED THIS! I love how it was all connected, that was such a cool part of this show! It had me shook every time! This is such a unique concept for a show, and I think was executed so well! I loved getting to go through all the different characters lives. I Jae's development as a character was so cool to watch as well. The acting from everyone was great too! I don't see why this show isn't more popular.The actress who played death had me kicking my feet, she's gorgeous.

Adorable!
This was so cute! I watched it after randomly finding it on Viki and really enjoyed it. A very fun and adorable high school romance. I liked the main two characters a lot and love that we really got to know them and watch them grow thoughout the movie! Their relationship was fun to watch develop too. Them both having the interest in space and seeing them bond over that was really sweet! I really like how it ended as well! So cute! If you like a a good high school romance, I really recommend this one!Was this review helpful to you?

Great concept!
I liked the story a lot and think the concept of it was really interesting! The deaths were pretty unique too even if visually the effects weren't always the best, they were okay just not great. I liked the characters a lot too! Loved watching how quickly they became friends and cared for each other. The ending did seem to kind of come out of nowhere, but I didn't mind it.Was this review helpful to you?

Someone teach these people how to kiss
This is your very typical web/short drama where some plotlines feel drawn out, some are way too rushed, and it's hard to get really get into any of the story. It's 24 episodes that are only about 15 minutes when you exclude the intro and outro, and so much happens yet also nothing at all at the same time. Was this bad? Not really, but it wasn't good either.The whole thing about them being exes was interesting, until it was revealed that they really weren't. Sure, they were "dating", but they were long distance the entire time and didn't every see each other and barely talked for that entire four years so in my opinion they weren't really dating. If I were Xiang Nan Feng, I would've never been able to get back together with Ren Xi Zhou. Not only was she just a major liar, but also just because of how they're "dating" played out, no thanks. The chemistry between the actors was decent and the characters had some cute moments together. Their kiss at the end was one of the worst I've seen in quite a while. We really waited 24 episodes for that...*sigh*
As for the other characters...they were fine, I guess. Like I said before these short dramas make it hard sometimes to really care about or get attached at all. I have seen some really good short/web drama's but unfortunately this isn't one of them. That all being said I did enjoy watching it, but I just think there's nothing really too exciting about it.

Hui Won's mother can catch these hands
I really enjoyed this. I was looking for fun romcom and really liked this one! The characters were mostly enjoyable, and it has some genuine funny moments as well.I really liked Du Jun and was happy he wasn't your typical cold tsundere style CEO. I liked that we got to see his goofy and caring side right away. I loved seeing him with Se Hyeon as well, it was so cute! I really like Hui Won too! I love that we got see different sides of her including her internal struggles about whether to keep the baby or not, and even when she decided to keep the baby, her questioning if she would be a good mom or not. A lot of her struggles were really nice to see because I feel like they aren't topics brought to light very often in media. I love the two of them together as well!
Se Hyeon was my favorite character! I just loved her! I loved that she wasn't afraid to go against her mother for what is right. I loved Mi Ran, Min Uk, and the coworkers as well!
For characters I didn't like, obviously I didn't like Jeong Eum. She was awful. Even though I didn't like her, I will say she made a great villain. I liked that she turned herself in at the end too. Moving onto Hui Won's mother...literally fuck her. She was an awful and abusive mother, and I absolutely hate how she was just forgiven in the end. This was the biggest thing I didn't like about this show. She never admitted to being abusive, never realized she was awful to her daughter, never apologized...NOTHING!! AND YET SHE WAS FORGIVEN?! WHY?! The reason her being forgiven being because Hui Won is becoming a mother is the dumbest thing ever. She shouldn't be in Hui Won's life at all. She has no self-reflecting or character growth at all. I hated that she was forgiven so much.
I do wish they gave Hui Won a baby bump, but that's not super important. I loved the time jump so we could see how they were doing as parents as well as what everyone else is doing. Love that she was pregnant in the end again too!

JUSTICE FOR HYUNJAE
This is the first season I've checked out of this show, and I have to say I really liked it! I'm not the biggest watcher of reality tv but my friend suggested this one, so I wanted to try it. I have seen part of the reunion as I'm writing this, but I'm going simply off of the show itself.I really enjoyed this! The games were really fun, I especially enjoyed the guy game in the water. I liked most of the cast, some I thought were boring but I'll get into that. I do wish they didn't spend so much time on Mina Sue and Goeun. They both just got annoying pretty quickly and I was tired of seeing them. I was pretty happy as well with how all the people were coupled up!
For the cast!
Starting with the guys:
-Subeen: He was top three most attractive men on the show for me. I really liked him at first and then was a little unsure about him, then really loved him in the end! He's really sweet and I'm glad we got to see him open up more as the show went on. I think he's super charming and has great chemistry with everyone, but I'm glad he ended up with Heesun in the end.
-Seungil: The seasons it boy. He was also super attractive to me, especially his smile/smirk. He was so kind from the very start which made me really like him. I was rooting for him and Mingee the entire time as well, so I was happy they left together. My favorite moment of his is when him and Mina were in paradise and he called her out for everything she was doing. He really spoke for the audience there.
-Sunghun/Sam: I'm not going to lie I hated this man until his paradise with Heesun. I feel like that was the first time we got to see his true personality and learn more about him. Before that we only really saw him with Mina and I just didn't care for his vibes. In the end he did grow on me but he still wasn't even in my top 5. I wasn't shocked he left with Mina either. Bro had the worst luck ever throughout the show.
Hyeonwoo: He is such a big teddy bear and such a sweetheart. I think the people watching/fans were way too harsh on him for his paradise with Goeun. It obviously didn't go well, but I think he was just nervous. I do think he was a bit of a boring guy, but he was sweet. I wasn't shocked he left by himself. Major props to him too for giving up his paradise too.
Sungmin: I loved this little yapper. He was in my top 5 choices from start to finish. I was a bigger fan of him than I think most were. I wasn't shocked when Goeun chose him either because I knew there had to be a reason she couldn't let him go. Overall I really enjoyed when he was on screen.
Igeon: I recognized him right away from the show the Trunk, so I thought it was cool an actor was on here. That being said, I was not a fan of him to be honest. He was way too cocky for my liking from the start. He just seemed kind of fake to me as well. I think it was maybe because he tried to act cool and nonchalant all the time. He had incredible chemistry with Goeun right from the start, but his cockiness (and talking about another woman constantly) is what bit him in the ass in the end.
Hyunjae: MY NUMBER ONE PICK FROM THE BEGINNING. These girls must've been blind. I still do not understand how he was the least popular out of all the men. Him and Subeen were the most attractive part of the entire cast to me. He also just has such a charming, sweet, and comforting personality. I was happy to see he was one of the most popular amongst the fans/people watching because I really didn't get why no one wanted him. I knew Jooyoung wouldn't pick him in the end, but I still felt bad for him. If these girls don't want him. I'll gladly take him.
Jaejin: Straight up I didn't like this man from start to finish. I never understood why he was the most popular and I still don't. His "I don't care" attitude annoyed me so much. I love him with Jooyoung don't get me wrong. I think they're perfect together. That being said he just annoyed me the entire time.
Now for the girls:
Mingee: The it girl of the season!! My number one girl from start to finish! I love her so much! She's such a baddie! She was the most attractive girl to me too. I loved her chemistry with Seungil so much. I love that if she wants something, she will fight to get it. I feel bad that she had a bit of hard time throughout the series, but I was very happy her and Seungil left together in the end.
Mina Sue: When she first came in up until the truth game, I loved her. I thought she was stunning and she gave off classy vibes...but omg was that vibe wrong. Her constant back and forth was so irritating. I'm totally for wanting to explore other options in a situation like this, that being said she was too much. They just spent way too much time on her. She ended up as one of my least favorite girls for sure. I wasn't shocked she left with Sunghun, but I do believe she just went with him because none of her other options were left.
Goeun: She's stunning but I'm not going to lie she's a little boring. I loved when we got to see her cute and funny side, I loved that part of her, but she didn't show it very much. Her love square with the boys grew old so quickly. Like Mina, they spent way too much time on her. She was never very open on how she was feeling with any of them at all. She clearly had the best chemistry with Igeon, but I don't blame her at all for not choosing him and I wasn't shocked about her choosing Sungmin either.
Heesun: When she first showed up, I thought she was pretty, but I didn't care for her very much. I was shocked how she wasn't popular though because she is so pretty. She grew on me a lot throughout the season and in the end I really loved her. This poor girl had awful luck throughout the show. I loved her two paradise trips because we got to see so much more of her. I was so happy she left with Subeen as well, they easily became a favorite couple of mine.
Jooyoung: I kept getting her and Yejin mixed up in the beginning. Not because of their looks, but because they were both so boring that they were practically invisible. I legit forgot they were there. Her chemistry with Jaejin was fantastic, they felt like a married couple instantly. I was really happy they left together. I wasn't shocked that she didn't choose Hyunjae, personally I think she was never really even going to give him a real chance because she felt so sure of Jaejin.
Yejin: Same thing I said before about Jooyoung. I don't know why she was even here. She had no screen time because she was SO boring. She never even wanted anyone really either so she was pointless. At least Jooyoung had her love triangle, Yejin straight up was there for nothing.
Haeun: She was fun and cute but I also would kind of forget she was there. She got no screen time after she first entered. She still chose Jaejin in the end but we didn't see her try to pursue him at all after the paradise and she was close with Igeon but we didn't even see that either. She was the most forgettable "stir things up" person I've ever seen.
Overall I loved watching the show and hated waiting each week for the new episodes. I can't wait for season six!

Short and cute series
This was a pretty cute short series! The concept of it from the trailer seemed really fun and I think it was pulled off pretty well! I absolutely love Dew, so I was more than happy to watch a series with him in it as well! I am glad it wasn't any longer because I feel it would've felt dragged out and overstayed its welcome.Phayu was actually so awful, especially as a boyfriend. I'm happy in the end he realizes that apologizes and turns himself around. That was nice to see. Poor May! I'm glad they didn't get back together but found peace with each other in the end. Satsuki was a fun character as well. Her and Phayu are pretty cute together and I don't think anyone was shocked they got together in the end. I was just more shocked he left for nine months to do all he did before coming back.
Overall, it was really cute. It was cool getting to hear different languages too.

Enjoyable but a little boring
I love these actors, especially Woo Do Hwan, and have heard a lot about this show so I wanted to check it out. Everyone did a great job with the acting! The fighting and boxing scenes were really enjoyable to watch. I liked the story, but it was quite a bit boring at times and found myself easily getting distracted while watching. I'll definitely check out season two this year when it comes out though!Was this review helpful to you?
These spicy scenes go crazy...I love it
These two episodes were better than the actual show. I hated these two in the show, I'm not even going to lie. They're relationship was all about sex and nothing else. Neither of them had any personality either. I was just sex and that's it. In these two episodes we saw more of an actual relationship from them and actual bonding sweet moments between them, than we did in the entirety of the rest of the show.Do I like these two? No. That being said, I did enjoy this much more. their chemistry is really good too.
The spice...was immaculate. Actual TOP TIER SH*T!

The writing was better than season one
I actually think I may have enjoyed this more than the show itself. I loved that we got to see this world more that we just glimpses of in the original show!The way it ended it seemed like maybe there could be a season two, which I would be fine with. I'm always down to watch more Boss and Nouel content! As for the actual show, I hope they do better with the writing like they did in this because it seemed to improve from season one.
The spice was good as always!

The ending felt flat
I liked this movie, but I will say the ending felt like it was missing something. The last 5 or so minutes just felt like could've used a bit more. The first half of this movie was really intriguing and even could be quite relatable, but the second half it started to go a bit downhill for me. Seeing the main character spiral into madness was pretty entertaining to watch. I just think the movie was pretty predictable and again the last 5-10 minutes or so could use some work.Was this review helpful to you?
A sad but great story
I really liked the story; it's one I think back to often. It's not a happy story, but it's a really good one. It's definitely more of a movie about gay people than a BL (if that makes sense). The characters really intrigued me in this. The spice factor was pretty decent as well. The actors did a great job.Was this review helpful to you?

People are too harsh in their reviews
I had to watch this for Jaehyun!! So proud of his big screen debut!! He did amazing channeling an unsettling vibe for his character.I really liked how unique this story was, though I do wish we could've learned more about Jun-U's powers more and expanding more about him. I feel like that felt unanswered. I am glad they didn't end up together just because it would've felt unnecessary for them to go that route. Very enjoyable to watch.

Came for Eunwoo, stayed for the plot (and Eunwoo)
I watched this for Eunwoo but it also really intrigued me. I liked the story a lot, though I did feel it was a little slow at times, but not enough to want to stop watching or annoy me. I loved the main two characters a lot. Some scenes might be hard to watch, so keep that in mind.Eunwoo looked so FINE in this, and he NEEDS this long hair more often!! I'd love to see him in more stuff like this!

If you just skip a good chunk of the finale, it's an amazing show
I love love LOVED this story...until the finale. The finale was absolutely awful and honestly ruined the rest of the show for a lot of people. The chemistry between the actors was fantastic and the concept of the story was so unique! I looked forward to the new episode every week! Even though I didn't care for the finale, I'd still recommend!Was this review helpful to you?
