preach!

thanks for catching this! i used the spoiler button but then edited to fix a typo. apparently you have to choose the spoiler button every time 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Think of it like this: in this world,some Gen X people carried a mutant gene that became active and changed their bodies. Some people learned they could fly, orhers regenerate, be extremely strong, have X ray vision, etc. It’s a mutation but it affects a very small percentage of the population (so not like a Zombie outbreak). This is the story of the first generation of mutants and how the S Korean government used some of them as assassins and spies in black ops. That program was disbanned and the Gen X mutant agents had to get regular jobs (and most went in hiding to hide their powered kids). The former head of black ops started a secret incubation program because he saw the mutation (super powers) could be inherited.They built a high school (the principal is a mutant whose power is to sniff out other mutants) to train and recruit the second generation of mutants (Gen Z mutants). There are 3 confirmed Gen Z mutants in this high school and some maybes. North Korea sent spies to find out more about the old and new program and the US has their alphabet mutant children (we met F, Frank who can regenerate). Frank was sent to kill the Gen X mutants and find (and kill? capture?) the Gen Z ones. Sadly for Frank, he met Jang JuWoon who is pretty much indistructible.

not going to lie, I thought the same thing. That would be the most overworked Super ever.

Li Jiu Lin in COL was one toxic smokeshow. Lawdy!!

oooh looks good! Thanks! I’m totally here for a story of body guard with a 12 pack. I bet IRL shirtless bodyguards don’t last long… but in dramaland 😁😁

🤣🤣 I just wished someone in the audience would have turned to their neighbor and said “and THAT’s why one does not wear white to a wedding” 🤣🤣

I truly appreciate a good vengeful comment. 👍🏼👍🏼When her ex was pleading with her (after assaulting her) my first thought was “she should take him on the roof and watch him jump— if he makes it, she tells him that maybe she’ll forgive him— but only if he’s comatose.” As to her bestie, here’s hoping Cell Block D karma gets her.

Try “An Ancient Love Song.” It’s 12 eps, and he’s a modern day scholar who time travels to empress’ life— but in reverse chronological order (like in “The Time Traveler’s Wife”). His first time traveling is her last time seeing him and his last time is her first time. Well written, poignant and easy to watch (and sigh over).

Yeah, but showing up dressed in a wedding gown was a bit extra. I love that no one, not even the bride, says anything about another bride crashing the wedding 🤣

This is my second favorite mini (after “Night of Love With You”). The CP had some fire chemistry (I would love to see what they can do in longer drama). This ML— wheeeww! he can guard my dispossessed assets aaany time. She is beautiful and a solid actress (loved her as love rival turned bestie in “Please Be My Family”). It’s 3.2? hours altogether and easy to binge and enjoy.

the magic grass supplier uses stories as currency 😃

I’m throughly enjoying this thus far. The premise: two rocks from the same meteorite fall into two different worlds: our world and a Wuxia world; when there are thunderstorms the rocks attract each other and a wormhole is created between the two worlds allowing objects and people to teleport. Our leads don’t know how they can travel to each other’s world until ep 11–so they accidentally fall into each other’s world and shenanigans ensue.

This drama is light and enjoyable. The comedy and acting is great; the writing is guffaw-inducing (e.g deadly disco martial arts, domineering lady’s lipstick, the ML sporting a vest with “beauty” in front and “dream guy” on back…so many cute moments!) CP has great chemistry and the ML is a wuxia martial arts god who is all googly eyes and affectionate to our FL. The FL is a goofball who means well and comes through when it counts. I’m hoping the writing stays consistent to ep 32!

I echo most people’s sentiments here! This was X men/mutants origin stories done well. It had gobs of action, twists, and fleshed out characters. It was well written, well acted and well cast.

As a manhwa/comics geek, this was SOOO up my alley!
Wolverine/JJW (regeneration powers) as a dad is pretty badass; now that HS has an indestructible uncle, I pity her first boyfriend. Also, growing up with a Korean mom with perfect hearing 😳😳— how is KBS not a top student in college by 15?

Think of it as a mutation gene that becomes activated in instances of extreme adrenaline. The NK went through a rigorous selection process and only a few passed. Of those who passed, the ones who survived the leap their mutation kicked in. Of course, if there’s a psychic or someone with telepathy, they would probably not “pass” this test.

Finished it! This was well written, well acted and had some nice cinematography. The characters are also well developed and they all had “journeys”: ML starts as spoiled heir but grows into SW role using impressive deductive reasoning skills and strategy (he’s more Zhuge Liang and less Liu Bei); 2ML starts as antagonist but he’s the necessary boogie man; FL starts as a hopeless assassin bride and develops into bride. 2FL…. weeeell, her journey felt slower.

As a follow up, I would absolutely watch S2… or another 24 episodes of Lei Cheng going from hot tub to velvet loungewear to working out with swords… and then hot tub again 🤪

I’m kicking myself for starting this drama before it’s finished! It’s funny, interesting, the leads have good chemistry and it’s well written so far… and I want to watch all of it now 😩. Two eps a day is just too slow!

She should have asked him to draw her like one of his French girls 🤣🤣

Finally caught up to ep 17– aaack! got me right in the feels. The acting was great, Ryan in a hot tub was a nice (but thirsty) break. ZLH’s skin is flawless— he’s so beautiful in this!

Besides the visuals, I’m loving the writing (cohesive, suspenseful and not a lot of plot holes). The show keeps me guessing as to the next big reveals (who is the Big Boss Lady Assassin? will Yun Wei turn double agent? what will happen to the pretty assassins once it’s all toppled— will they just hit up all those Gong hotties that never leave the mountain? How will Prince Poison ever find a girl when his face is so punchable? )

As a side note— can we take a pause to admire the sequins and beads budget for this drama? Every single outfit has beads, sequins, shine, some feathers, furs. I suspect the Gong clan’s seamstress ran a cabaret in town before going up the mountain. I don’t hate it— but when the CP were in the cave I couldn’t help but think “Wuxia Liberace light” when they debuted matching white flowy gowns with gold sequins and feathers. Am I wrong? 🧐🧐

🤣🤣🤣 can’t wait for JOL2. (And she has a lot of screen time for a guest role)
