So much fun!

Loved how fun this show was! There were some deeper and more emotional moments as well but overall was such a fun series! The characters in Spirit Fingers as well as both sets of best friends were a lot of fun to watch. They all had great chemistry together as well!

I loved the relationships between the two main couples. There were definitely moments where I got annoyed at the girls, but only in a couple moments so it didn't bother me too bad.

Overall, a super fun watch and would recommend! Loved seeing Cha Woomin in this as well!

Also, I have to mention all the costumes and especially the sets! That was so fun to see each episode!

This show is basically p*rn

I hated the main two characters so much. It felt like they were trying to be Boss and Noeul. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but that's the vibe it gave. And it did not work...at all. They were just very unlikable together and apart. I wish we got more time with the B couple because I thought they were more interesting. Though I feel like Yoon needs to work on his acting a little bit because I didn't always feel very much emotion from him. That being said, I enjoyed watching him more than Boat and Oat. The spice in this show was insane. Just straight up p*rn sometimes. I'm here for the spice so I don't mind.

Great start, okay end

I wanted to watch this because I'm trying to watch all of Dew's works otherwise, I never would've checked it as I've never heard of it before. I thoroughly enjoyed this show a lot. I thought the concept was pretty cool, the characters were all really interesting, and the acting was pretty good as well. I did recognize quite a few actors from this which is always fun.

I will say the last few episodes or so, I didn't like as much as I liked the rest of the season. Once half the students were missing, I think it lost a bit of what made the show good which was the students' interactions. It wasn't bad or anything, I just didn't love it like I did before that happened. I also thought having Zero show up at the end was kind of stupid, maybe they thought they were getting another season though.

I thought the lessons they were being taught to help them prepare for the real world was really cool. Some were better than others, some were just cruel, but still I liked that aspect a lot. Obviously, I didn't like them being punished, but it added something interesting to the show. I really liked the show a lot and would recommend it a lot, especially if you like any of the actors.

Characters: (Spelling I'm going off of what they have on here lol)

Maki: I really liked Maki as the main character. She was so smart, kind, and determined. She wasn't afraid to stand up against the master's for what she thought was right either which I loved. I liked her relationship with our core four group a lot (plus Pheng and Penneung) and her relationship with her brother was really sweet too. Her and Tibet were quite cute together too even though we never got anything of them being a couple.

Tibet: I loved him! I love how caring he was towards everyone. He's also pretty smart and I liked how he was more of a realistic thinker. I think the group really needed that sometimes. I loved our core four as well as his relationship with Pheng and Penneung. He literally saved Pheng's life. I feel bad about his mother dying while he was gone. I'm glad he got to know a bit about his dad too during the show. His crush on Maki was so cute!! I enjoyed his relationship with Nai the most I can't lie. They were always together and it was so adorable.

Nai: The whole reason I watched the show to begin with and I'm glad I really liked his character. Nai was definitely not the smartest, especially out of our core group, but I loved how caring he was as well as him being ready to fight for his friends even if it meant him getting in trouble. Got to give him major props for lasting as long as he did in the fight against Master Champ, he really stuck it out. Again, loved his relationship with the core group and especially Tibet (They would be cute together too but maybe that's just me). His crush on White was so cute, and I love that you can tell he fell quite hard for her. The confession of the two of them on the stairs at the end was really fun.

White: I loved her so much! Her random English was really funny, she was such a baddie and so caring too. She really was ready to do anything for the people she cared about and I loved that. I haven't mentioned it yet, but I loved her friendship with Maki. They had such a good bestie relationship, and I feel like you don't always see that with girls, I feel like it's always just focused on romantic relationships. I love the core group as well as her relationship with Nai, like I mentioned before. Other than Pheng, I think she had the closest relationship with Penneung and liked their interactions a lot.

Penneung: My baby!! He might be my favorite I'm not going to lie. He is so intelligent and so caring. His love for croissants was so adorable! His actor did a great job with his character; I have to give major props there. I think it's really cute that he had a crush on Pheng at the end (I think she felt the same too). I was really happy when he joined our main group because I loved his character a lot. I hated seeing him get picked on some of the people in the beginning and I'm glad by the end they all were friendly towards him. We saw the most growth in relationships with him I feel.

Pheng: I'm not going to lie I didn't care for Pheng too much. She did get a bit better at the end, but she was just too whiny for me. Most of the time she was on screen she was whining about something, it was so annoying. Her whole episode where it revealed she does a lot of stuff for attention didn't surprise me at all; she just gave that vibe anyway. After she almost committed, she did get better a little bit. I liked her relationship with Biu and especially with Penneung.

Hugo: He was quite the asshole throughout a lot of the show, but I will say his love for Jingjai was really sweet. I love that he always called her beauty, that was so cute. The scene of the two of them by the water towards the end of the show really showed a different side of them both that I really liked.

Jingjai: Similar to Hugo, I didn't like her throughout most of the show and then after the lake scene, I'd say I found them tolerable. I loved everything she said during her classes with just a couple of the girls and Headmaster. I loved that.

Fuji: There were times I liked Fuji and times I didn't. I liked how badass and strong she was, but there were times I really questioned what she was thinking. For the most part I did like her though. I thought she would be more important, but she really got hardly any screentime in the second half of the show (and I don't just mean when she was taken).

Mek: & Mok: Putting them in the same one because I have the hardest time these twins apart. I've seen them individually in a bunch of things and could never tell which was which until I'd look it up and having them both in the same series made it impossible for me. Once I noticed how they were dressing differently, I could tell who who was. I liked how similar but different they were. They were quite unimportant to the show to be honest. They could've not existed and I think the show would've been pretty much the same in my opinion. I did like them both though. I was glad they were starting to fix their relationship by the end because the physical fight between them was so rough. They added some humor to the show too which I liked.

Biu: I really liked her! She was really fun and caring. I thought her crush on Jean at the end was sweet. Her friendship with Pheng was really cute too. I get why she was mad at Pheng for a bit, I would be too, but I was happy they made up.

Jean: Man was actually the least important character. I liked him with Biu, he did have a good friendship with Jingjai and Hugo, but once they dated, he wasn't with them a lot anymore. The second half of the show I didn't have a problem with him, he just didn't add anything at all. He was definitely more likable though towards the end since he was a bully in the beginning.

Run: I loved seeing Gun. His character Run was pretty cool. I have mixed feelings on him saying Amin felt like a father and him taking over Home School. I feel like they should've shown us more flashbacks of the two of them bonding in the past to show how hurt Run was by Amin locking him up. I would've loved to see more of him and Maki together as well since it was the whole reason Maki went to Home School to begin with.

Amin: I knew there had to be something going on with him because a lot of times what he was doing, even if it was a bit messed up, it never to me felt like he had really bad intensions so I was glad to see that he was a lot better and was actually just being controlled.

Yani/Headmaster: Kind of like Amin, I from the start just thought she had good intensions and truly cared for the kids. We even saw that with how she would question Amin a bit with the treatment of Run. I really loved her classes with just the couple girls, it made me like her a lot more than I already did.

Prasat: I hated this guy from the second he showed up and wasn't shocked at all that he was doing shady stuff. Him and Champ just seemed to not care at all about the kids in anyway, especially compared to the other masters. Bad vibes all around and am very happy he ended up in jail.

Phraephon: I think she was my favorite out of the masters. You could always tell she truly cared for the kids and for Run. I loved finding out she was helping Run plan his escape the entire time. I liked that she was trying to help Deluxe as well. I was pretty sad she died, she didn't deserve that.

Phoban: I liked him a lot. He always seemed to be looking out for the kids and seemed like a genuinely good guy. He was just adorable to me for some reason.

Champ: I hated him from start to finish. Like I mentioned before, you can tell he just didn't care about the kids at all. I wasn't shocked by him siding with Prasat either.

Deluxe: She was so cute!! I loved her just singing her little songs all the time (even if it wasn't the right time for it lol). She was really caring too and I loved how her class with Phen and Pennueng was just playing guitar and singing.

Every parent was a piece of shit lol except Tibet's mom and Biu's dad was eh.

Did they get new writers for the second half?

I was quite worried going into this drama because everyone only ever has bad things to say about it. Episodes one through the first half of episode five were pretty decent. Just your very standard romance kdrama. I was really enjoying it and didn't get why it was getting so hated on...then came when Jo Jo and Sun Ho got into the accident. From here on the show just got insane. They were starting plotlines that went nowhere, romances that went nowhere, Jo Jo and Sun Ho became a bit unlikable, and the editing of going back and forth between after the accident and the present was so badly edited. The only thing that stayed good was Hye Yeongs character. Everything else went to shit. People were suddenly dying because of the app, Dokgu commits, the aunt and cousin somehow got worse...I could keep going but I won't. The way the finale ended didn't give finale ending either, more just like an episode ending (ok that's my last complaint). The actors all did a great job I will say. The only reason I watched it is because I love Song Kang and am watching everything he's been in, but just wow. I just don't know what went wrong in the writing room after that accident, but it wasn't good.

Overhyped and boring

I'm not going to lie I didn't enjoy this as much as others seemed to. I've heard it getting hyped up since it was airing and I honestly don't get the hype. Is it bad? No, but I wouldn't say it's great either. The plot was fine but so drawn out and the episodes were just way too long. It could've been so much shorter. The plot of Khem being haunted and cursed to die on his 21st birthday had so much potential, but I think because the show was so long and pretty boring, I just didn't care by the end.

The characters were the best part of the show for sure. I liked our main cast of characters a lot and think the actors all did a great job.
I liked Peem a lot and liked the layers to him.
Khem was such a cutie patootie and I liked watching him a lot.
Jet was my favorite. I liked how funny he was but also caring and serious when needed to be.
Chan was adorable. I liked seeing him get more confident throughout the show.
The two kids were so fun and cutie.
Pour one out for Rampheung. Girl went through so much. When we got her backstory, I couldn't even blame her for what she was doing anymore and I'm glad she found peace at the end.

I think visually the show was beautiful with the sets and the visual effects. The camera work did bug me sometimes but overall, that wasn't a big issue. The show was fine, I just think it was WAY overhyped.

Not bad for my first GL

This was the first ever GL I watched and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think the girls all had great chemistry together and I really liked all the pairings. The spice was pretty decent in my opinion, like I said I haven't seen one before, so I don't have anything to compare it to. My main issue with the show is some plotlines were drawn out too much or were just really repetitive. Prim and Bambi's will they-won't they and Gorya's back and forth relationship with Shasha got old after a bit. Other than that, I liked it. The girls are so gorgeous too!! Loved seeing Emi and Bonnie's cameo as well!!

Characters:
Prim: I really liked her for most part. She did annoy me at times, but I loved how determined and hardworking she was.
Bambi: I think she was the most complex and interesting character. We saw a lot of growth from her over the series, and I feel like we saw the most emotionally from her.
Shasha: I think she was also one of the most interesting. She's been through a lot to get to where she is and I liked seeing her finally be able to process and deal with it to get what she truly wants.
Gorya: I liked her, but I do think she annoyed me more than she didn't. She just always seemed mad or annoyed about something, and it usually wasn't anything worth getting worked up over. I love how she helped Sha though.
Min: I loved her a lot until the last couple episodes. She was so unreasonable when it came to Prim wanting time off for Bambi. It was so frustrating to watch. Until that moment she was one of my favorites.
Praew: She was my least favorite. I liked how strong she was and how she would fight for what's right. That being said, she pressured Min so much!! Whether that was to date her, to be public with her, to come out; all of it! She was never really understanding that it's harder for some people to come out than others, especially when she thought she was straight before.

A big mess but sometimes it's okay

I want to start this by saying I did watch Only Friends: Dream On before I watched this and I am definitely more biased towards season two. This season had so much happening but also nothing happening at the same time. There was a lot of plot but all of them were just so drawn out that I just got annoyed. This show was messy, which I'm here for, but a lot of times the mess felt like it had no purpose other than to make the show more interesting rather than it having an actual purpose.

Characters and couples:
Sand: I love First let me say that right off the bat. Absolutely love him! As for Sand, he was the character that had the least amount of drama, was the most reasonable and level-headed, caring, and definitely the kindest out of all the characters. He was in my top three characters throughout the whole show. I really enjoyed his character a lot. The only time he really bugged me was when his ex came into the picture and he kept hesitating if he still had feelings or not, other than that I loved him a lot throughout.
Ray: I love love love Khaotung so much!! Ray was my favorite character by the time the show was done. He was a huge mess don't get me wrong, but I loved the depth of his character, and I loved how much he grew over the show. You could really tell by the end that he wanted to be a better person by going to rehab and by trying to get along with Top, etc. He had a lot of issues throughout the show with Mew, Sand, Top, Boston, his drug and alcohol addiction, and family issues. I think he was for sure the biggest mess in the show, but he had a depth to his character that I felt everyone else was missing.
Sand & Ray: I think they have the best chance of making long term when it comes to the couples. They're really good for each other and care so deeply for each other. They were my favorite couple from the start through to the end (it could be because I'm also such a big fan of FirstKhaotung too). I liked seeing how their relationship changed throughout the show a lot.

Top: I hated this man the first part of this show and then somehow, he became one of the most likable in my opinion. I don't think he really cared for Mew at all in the beginning and truly did just want to sleep with him. I think it was shortly after he slept with Boston again that he realized he was starting to really like Mew and really regretted cheating on him. He was so unlikable the first few episodes of the show and I was pretty happy with his growth over the show.
Mew: He went from being my favorite character to someone I was just pissed at constantly. I swear after he lost his glasses, he just became a completely different character and I didn't like it. I'm not talking about him being upset that he was cheated on either, because who wouldn't be upset about that. He was doing drugs, drinking a lot, dating Ray even though he didn't care about him like that, doing shady stuff, and was just pissing me off all the time. By the end, he did get a bit better again, but I just felt mixed about his character by the time the show wrapped. I will say I loved that he never forgave Boston.
Top & Mew: Now I know they were together again by the time the show was done & they did make an appearance in S2, but I don't think they'll last forever to be honest. We really didn't see them having anything in common and I don't think Mew will ever get over what happened. They are cute together don't get me wrong, I just can't see them lasting long term.

Boston: I hated him every second of the show and that never changed. I didn't care for him in S2 either, but this was so much worse. If you want to be a single and sleep around then do it, I have no issue with, but sleeping with your best friends boyfriend? Sleeping with your best friends brother? Cheating on your boyfriend? Absolutely not. Top cheated too but you can tell he regretted it and knew it wrong. Boston never was truly sorry or saw what was wrong with any of it. He played with Nick's feelings too and never saw an issue with that either. I just hated him every second of the show.
Nick: Other than sleeping with Boston, he felt so unattached from the show. He really didn't have any importance other than being Boston's f*ck buddy/boyfriend. He was fine, but not really that exciting. I am glad he broke up with Boston in the end because he deserves better than that.
Boston & Nick: They were bad together and am glad they aren't together anymore.

The girls were so unimportant in the show I'm not going to bother writing anything more about them.

Also need to mention how crazy it was that everyone was kissing everyone. Insane!! So tea!! I did enjoy the show, I just think the script was all over the place in moments and some things were very drawn out.

Better than you'd think!

This show was pretty funny and was really enjoyable. I don't usually like superhero shows, but this one was pretty good. I only watched it because Eunwoo was in it to be honest or I never would've checked it out. He looked so fine in this show. I think the comedy really helped with this show. I'm glad it all came out at once and not weekly because I don't think it would've done well coming out one episode at a time. The characters were all pretty interesting. I loved Un Jeong, Chae Ni, and some of the villain characters as well. Some of the powers were pretty cool too. Strength and the sticky power were pretty lame I can't lie and Gyeong Un annoyed me. I saw there was an after credits scene so maybe we'll get a season two which I wouldn't mind. Overall, the show was better than I thought it would!

Some things were left unanswered

I really liked this show, but there are a few things that I didn't care for. I finished it yesterday and wanted a day to let it sit specifically because of the ending. I loved the concept of the show and loved that it kept it you guessing who the killer was the whole time.

I liked Tae Ju, Ji Won, Gi Beom, and Yeong Beom. Pretty much all of the other characters I either didn't care for or just hated. They did a good job making you really hate the characters like Si Yeong and the other couple cops.

I will say the back and forth between 1988 and 2019 felt like it wasn't really needed until the very end with the trial and everything. A lot of the stuff throughout the earlier episodes with the 2019 plot just felt pointless to me. Maybe it's also because I guessed who the killer was very early on, but who knows.

There were a few things that they never circled back to which bugged me a little bit. Why did Sun Yeong want to breakup with Gi Beom? Especially because she then acted like that conversation didn't happen. Why did they never show Yeong Beom a picture of his dad? I get why they didn't say exactly how he died, but you couldn't even show him a picture...why? A lot of it for me has to do with Gi Hwan and the killings itself that just left a lot of things unanswered. Why did Gi Hwan begin killing? Why did he change his name? Why was he even arrested? (because it was before they found out what he did). Why was the case reopened and why did it lead to him being the killer? I have more but I'll stop there. The show just had a lot of things after the finale that felt unanswered and incomplete and that's where it lost some points for me.

As for the finale...I had to let it sit for a day because my immediate reaction was that I didn't like it. After sitting with it I think it's okay but not great. To me it felt like they thought they had an extra episode or more and then didn't so they just did the best with the last episode as they could. I obviously wish Si Yeong and the cops got arrested or in trouble for all they did, but I think they were going for the angle of sometime not all justice is served. So I didn't mind it when thinking about it like that.

Overall I enjoyed the show and enjoyed the mystery of it all. I liked it mainly taking place in the 80's as well. All the acting was incredible! I watched it for Park Hae Soo to begin with and really enjoyed it. I am glad I binged it once it was all out rather than watching it weekly because I do think it's a show that's better to binge just because of all the details you don't want to miss. If you like cops and murder mystery shows than I think this one is pretty enjoyable.

A lot of forced drama for no reason

This was good but definitely had moments that felt like forced drama just to keep the show going. Everything with that one guy (I don't even remember his name) was so stupid. Why did he even hate the main two so bad? That felt out of nowhere and then they just kept it going. I did think we'd get a bit more of them together so that was a little disappointing too. It seemed like every time we got a little progress towards them being in a relationship, we then took a few steps back. They were really cute together whether that be as best friends or more. Li Ming and Ouyang were really fun together and I was so happy when they finally got together. The actor's chemistry was pretty good as well. I'm glad I watched this pretty much in one sitting because I think I would've gotten pretty bored if I watched it weekly.

Are we getting a season 2?

I thought this was okay, but I didn't love it.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but Jack seemed very different to me in this. He seemed weaker to me. Fighting wise in the show he was supposed to be one of the best and he was far from that in the special. Even his personality seemed off to me (and that's before the tragedy happened.

I hate than Tattoo and Aran still didn't get together. They set it up for them to get together in the show and in the special and they didn't. I get that it doesn't always happen in the series, but usually if there's a season two or special they use that and they didn't which was frustrating, especially since they kept mentioning it.

Another small thing is that Jack and Joke adopted Toiting in the end of the series and in the special episode it didn't feel that way at all.

Do I love that they killed Joke? No, I obviously wanted them to get together and be happy. That being said his death and how Jack dealt with it after was so well written. I teared up from the moment Aran was stabbed through the end of the show. The wedding scene was absolutely devastating. The acting from Yin during it all was so good.

I don't think the special episode was really needed. I did enjoy seeing most of the characters again and I did like Carbon coming back as the bad guy, but I think the story could've ended where it did.

Needed to be longer

Pretty cute story that I wish we had just a bit more time with. I really liked this and looked forward to the next episode every week, it just felt so short. The last two episodes felt like they needed more time as well. We should've had more once U Jin survived.

I think if we had more time to get to know the characters more, it would've made the story hit harder. I wish we got to see more of the main two together in the past as well as in the end when he survives, more of them with Tae Jun, and just all of them individually as well.

I loved the main two characters a lot and they had great chemistry together. I would love to see them in something else together. Their love story in school is so cute, especially for it taking place in 2008. It was so cute to see them fall in love. I liked seeing the differences of what happened the first-time vs when Hye Seong is reliving it.

I loved all the kitties so much!

This show was so cute and fun! I love FirstKhaotung so I knew I had to watch it! Their chemistry is always amazing! I heard this show was made for them and I think that really came across on screen. I liked their characters too as well as the rest of the cast.

I liked the story; it wasn't anything too complicated. The cats all having voices was really fun and I love how they each kind of had their own episode. They were so cute too! The way the power passed to the next person was a little strange, but I didn't mind it either.

I do wish we got more scenes between just Lynx and Tiger. I felt like that was where the show was lacking for me. We really didn't get a lot of moments of just them. Leo or the cats were always around or interrupting. I wish we got a few more kisses between them too. It's fine if it's not a spicy show, but I do wish we got them being intimate or acting like a couple a bit more.
