what a weirdly fun drama
The plot is slightly dark for a drama about two students who want to live a normal life but also fun too watch in a strange way. The two characters did a good job depicting dumb and careless teenagers. I like their tandem and the way they build their relationship throughout the show—how they don't care about anything at first, to making sure they live together. No dragging of the story, just revolving around knowing the true story behind the two mysterious students. Short and entertaining drama, worth it to watch if you are looking for a show that you can finish within the day since this only has 8 episodes with not more than 40 minutes duration time. A 7.5/10 for me!Was this review helpful to you?
Better as a movie not a show
With so many jump and fast-forward in timelines here in this drama, I think it is better if they made this a movie. The plot is not interesting enough to make it a 16 episode show. A lot of narcissist and annoying characters here too. The tandem of Jang Dongyoon and Seol In-A in this drama is also a meh for me. I think they look better as friends than a couple. The weird ties of the two male leads (lee doo hak and choi cheol woong ) is not good too. I find it awful. Props to kang kyunghun's acting, she's so good at acting villain here that I get annoyed everytime she talks. I don't like the OSTs too.I give this a 3.5/10. The actings are not horrible, just the flow of the story.

First jtbc melodrama that I did not like
I'll just give this a 4.5/10. If it wasn't for Joy (Mido) I already skipped this drama. I think I would have given this a more higher number if there was no murder/crime involved. I just didn't like that plot at all. The story of the characters are great, but the overall storyline was not that good for me. Is it recommendable? I think there is much better melodrama of jtbc that this, but you can give it a try if you want to be really sad and cry.Was this review helpful to you?
the title doesn't fit this drama at all
I thought this would be a melodrama type of show because of its title, but it is completely the opposite. This drama has a thriller, romance, and mystery genre, but I didn't feel much of it. The first episodes were a good thriller and mystery, but in the last episodes it is more concentrated on the romance, which will make you confused since you will ask what will happen on the "dark" side of this drama. I felt that the thriller genre wasn't given enough scenes and justice, and they just wrapped it up to end it so they could have more romance. The ending of the two leads, where they give their reason why they are their "spring," feels so forced. It is not completely bad; the mystery was good, but the ending of it was not. The couples in this show were adorable, and you could feel the pain in their past. It was somehow relatable, and seeing them comfort each other was beautiful. I give it a 5/10.Was this review helpful to you?
Just like a cartoon
A mini series with only 5 minutes per episodes. This show is unique and fun. Although it is not that outstanding since it only has few characters and dialogues. Just like what I said in the headline, this drama is just like a cartoon show for kids. If you want something like that then this drama is what you are finding for. I give it a 5 out of 10.Was this review helpful to you?
This is Grass Mochi 2 writing
Since this is a short drama, all episodes are simple and fast-paced. This is my first drama seeing a doctor working in an office, and I had fun watching. I love how the relationship between Aobayashi and Ozakura Mimi doesn't feel forced, and they took their time getting to know each other. They depict life when the COVID pandemic starts accurately. This drama is not only entertaining but also informative. All characters are adorable, but I find the tandem of Yagihara and Otomaki the cutest.If you are looking for a fun and innocent love short Japanese drama, then you can try this one. I think I didn't hear any OST in this drama, but still, it is enjoyable. A 7/10.

A good thriller, and action drama but the editing was a little meh
I've seen a lot of edits of this show on TikTok, and now, after finishing it, I get the hype for this show. They did a nice job depicting the student life: immature kids who always whine and are out of touch in reality but slowly mature as they understand what is going on. I'm glad that the aliens here are interesting to know and watch, since in the other fantasy dramas I have seen, the "fantasy" or "sci-fi" parts were so boring. A lot of characters were so annoying, but a lot of them are also exciting to see. The action scenes are so good, but since the students are either arguing or complaining, it gets irritating. The cliffhanger was nice; since this has a second season, it would make you curious about what will happen and how they will end the invasion of these unknown creatures. A 9/10 for me.Was this review helpful to you?
First OCN romance that I didn't find boring
One thing that I like about Asian shows, particularly Korean dramas, is the vast variety of shows about different sports, jobs, and genres. This drama is one of them, as it revolves around skating. This is my first time watching a show about skaters, so the storyline is new and fresh to me.As this is a minidrama with only 4 episodes, I won't rate it heavily. Their acting skills are all fine, and the arguments of Kang Hoyoung (Kang Tae Oh) and Park Eunho (Yeo Hoi-Hyeon) are fun to watch. Usually, I don't find the main leads in short dramas entertaining, but both of them did a great job. The plot is nice, and if you are looking for a short, fun minidrama, then I recommend this for you. Surprisingly, even though this is a short drama, the ending is not rushed, and the flow of the story is enjoyable. Yes, this is the first OCN romance that I liked, but the romance here is not that much since it only has 4 episodes. A 7/10.

OCN is really terrible at creating romance
I love OCN, but I had never seen a good drama of theirs in the romance genre. The main leads have terrible chemistry, the acting of the male lead is stiff, the fantasy is not interesting, and the side characters, especially the sister of Seo Yoori (Kim Soeun), which is Seo Soojung (Park Na Ye), and her friends, have terrible acting in this show.I personally did not like this drama and skipped a lot of scenes; therefore, I only rate it a 2.5/10. I watched this for Yoo Il (Park Minho), but his character didn't catch my attention that much. The only actor worth watching in this drama is Kang Tae Oh (Kim Jin-woo), in my opinion. I think I will rate this a little bit higher if he is the main lead, since I like the tandem of his character and the female lead more.
If you are going to watch this because of Lee Jonghyun (Oh Soo), I suggest you just watch another drama because that man is not worth it and he is horrible. Just search the scandal (the Burning Sun scandal) that he is in for you to understand how ugly inside and out he is.

A Journey Through Time and Wonder
Before I start giving my review of this drama, I want to say first that all the actors did an amazing job in this show! They were all impressive!Back to my review, I love the story of this show, the way they face their problems, and the way you can really feel their emotions, especially their frustration. The chemistry of the main leads was fantastic; their problems as a couple and individually will really make you cry. A lot of topics were shown, and they did justice to portraying them and solving them as family, friends, and workmates. Hong Dae Young is such a green flag; who wouldn't fall for him? His going back as a young version of himself and trying to work things out will make you look forward to the next episodes. I give this drama an 8/10.
I don't give this a perfect 10 because there is really nothing extraordinary in this drama. I've seen a lot of this kind of show, and nothing here in this drama is outstanding. The start was perfect, but like any other drama, the ending felt rushed. His suddenly going back to his old self while talking feels a little bit out of place. And the love triangle around Shi-A is not necessary, especially his stalker. I really wish they stopped adding random crime to all Korean dramas, especially if it is a romance or drama type of show.
Nevertheless, it is still recommendable and fun to watch.

Time. Decisions. Relationship
Old but gold. I finally watched this drama after so many years.Seeing them redo their lives after going back to their youth was entertaining; looking at how much they were sad as a pair makes me want them not to end up as a couple again, but as the story goes on and seeing how they make their decisions makes me more curious on how this series will end.
I really love how the female lead, Ma Jin Joo (Jang Nara), makes the most of her time appreciating her youth and the people around her, a.k.a. her mom. This drama will make you cherish what you have and recognize things you should treasure.
Definitely recommendable, a 9.5/10. Friendship, family, and classmates—every relationship was shown and admired.

A beautiful coming-of-age series
A show that is surely good enough to recommend. This gets an 8.5/10.Every episode will hook you up. This drama is so good that I finished it in just three days. The friendship of all the KNPU students and the way they bond is so heartwarming. The plot is nice, with no draggy scenes. A lot of the characters are new to me, but they manage to be memorable, and they did a great job in their acting, especially Um Hyuk (Lee Joon Woo).
Though I find this drama good, I can't say that it is an extraordinary drama. Not much of a thriller, I find myself looking forward to the KNPU students bonding more than the action. And the main leads don't have good chemistry; the only "couple" that I find cute is the tandem of Gi Hanna and Yoo Daeil. In my opinion, this series could be a 10 if there was no romance involved.

Not my cup of tea...
I already found the story line boring from the start. Some of the kids they help are annoying, the female lead acts dumb a lot of times, and most of the lines with each character are uninteresting. I also don't like some parts of this drama. Like the forced smile of Momoko Sugisaki (Misako Renbutsu), it is not that scary, but they make a big deal out of it. And the rules of her job annoy me; she follows them, but she still gets scolded, and if not, they still get mad. Do they realize how flawed their command is?I think this is a good series to watch if you like simple, not too complicated, series. It is also short, so that adds a point if you want a drama that is enough to watch for a day. But personally, I didn't like this; I'll just give it a 4/10.

Adorable!
Everything in this Korean drama is just super duper cute, Especially Shin Hari (Kim Sejeong) and Jin Yeongseo (Seol In-A), a really good friendship duo. I love the flow of the story, not too cliche, not too awkward, and not too boring. It's a good thing that they only make 12 episodes for this series because it doesn't need to be long they already show and fit the story perfectly for a 12-episode-drama. They did great for a web novel because usually I find web novels that turned into a drama dry as dust.Really recommendable, I rate this a 9/10. The story might not be far from the other office/business rom-com drama the only difference is the main leads have a great chemistry and the story is interesting and not draggy.

Drama Special Season 12: A Moment of Romance

How do you define love?
This drama is super adorable! They portray their characters well. Although this is only one episode, they show and execute the plot nicely enough for a short special drama. And I love Oh Jin (Shin Ye Eun) and Koo Won Bin (Hong Kyung) here. They definitely have a chemistry, and even if this has more than 1 episode, I'll surely watch it just for them and see how their relationship blossom in this story.I'll give this a 10/10! Super Recommendable and won't waste your time. Really worth it~
