Enny

When the phone rings - block the number !

Ok you all can call oppa the plot and be very happy with all the juicy scenes that were put forth but what in the world was this "LOGIC LEFT THE CALL" !! There are already 125 people giving out cents on this one so why did I decide to engage in the chatter bec - I am not okay unlike you all ! I can not accept this as it was !

Okay look at me in the eyes and say (only for people who care about what's being served to them) is this what you wanted to see ? Is this how you imagined things would go? (Enny things will not go how you want them to - it's not a drama for you , Enny if you have that much talent write one yourself ) I might as well ...and trust me I'd do a much better job ! Bec for me the whole show was - I might just throw my phone in the same pond where they throw kids - no loss bec everything gets recovered ... does that not sound sensible ? I thought it very much was a 10/10 pitch!

Okay okay initial eps - banger ! Drop dead gorgeous people making me drop dead and crave for more !
Oppa as Hot, Possesive, Toxic and Domineering husband - just hit all the notes that somehow felt untouched through all the kdrama journey !
The whole calling aspect - nailed down very well.

Until !

Hi my cute "perfect husband material straight out of a fairytale romance male lead"- Why were you pretending to be something that you are not, for no good reason - just be the childhood bestie you are and say I love hong hee joo I am a fool in love and otherwise too, and trust me I would perfectly love you for that ! I swear I will !
Because the way you led me into believing that "not all kdrama men are the same" - I mean I love green flags I just hate being misled !

There are just so many things that are fucked up about this that I don't think I will ever be possibly able to curate a list but for the sake of saying it ...
I wish they would do something like - "REACTING" when they find out something - like hong hee joo is the blackmailer - oh my god I love her so much more - bruh hee joo can talk - yeah she's been wining singing competitions ever since she was a kid did you not know - Like seriously ??? - I am so pissed off at the way 90% of the ep is a filler ...and at how they choose the worst way possible to reveal anything ....and when it is revealed ...they do "nothing" ....oh wait 3 eps later they discuss this and sort it out ! - "sensible people" ...but did I sign up to watch sensible people ? NO
Wasn't this about angst and thrill and planning plotting??

also ...when the "phone" rings - the phone is out of picture ...we ain't even half way and the phone just doesn't matter ...! At this point I am really concerned -- what matters ?? jagganim ? They be going on field trips with the blackmailer out lose ...and quite frankly for someone who killed when he was a kid ...the villain was just for tomfoolery no offence but he could do way better than that ! I am to buy that this lunatic "kid murderer" as a grown up adult couldn't murder a mute girl who mostly has no protection and the one ep she does they don't seem to be working very hard - Like are they even for real !?

Also let alone the consequences of the calls - hee joo doesn't even have any consequences of THE FALL ! Let me see the dramatic fake blood and unreal bandages all over ...come on what the fuck !

Trust me I hate it , even tho I am keeping aside how pissed off I'd be if I also turn on my moral compass and realize that Hong hee joo deserves not a sorry but a good bye from all the people in her life - literally every one bec all of them have wronged her - she can talk and they let her pretend to be mute ! - she's neglected for 3 yrs straight in her marriage and he's been in love with her for 20 yrs and I am to buy that the girl just chooses to die for him instead of killing him - thriller where ?
Okay the girl got no spine but like literally just everyone treated her like trash - even at work

- in the initial eps - the sfl paid no heed to her and one day she suddenly starts crying -
I don't exactly remember when they became besties ...have I missed a few eps of them going on shopping spree and bitching about men ? - Like why make two characters be dead concerned when it could just be - okay I know you, I have spare time, I can look for you ?

The sissy comes back to say I know you could talk but it made me feel better so I am just going to let you suffer ...Quite frankly I really do like her - cause she left when she realized what was going on, got herself fixed, came back to save her sister, asked her father to take action, and supported her sister when she was alone. GIRL -got brain ! I wish hee joo did too but nevermind!
Let's not even go about to how trash her mother's arc turned out ...

Also stop making a big deal for the bare min that the ML does - learning sign language he should have done that years ago - he did not need tell her - he could very well be secretive about it like he was about other things ...!

Also the sml arc - was good but so unnecessary !

Has the rant been too long ? No guys we haven't even reached to the no brainer messed up story of the decade -
What in the world ...his mom holding hee joo captive , the real villain working under someone else ... hee joo's brother killed by the oldiee oh my I have no words ! And he's the son of oldiee - Explain pls - with whom, where is his mom ? what the fuck happened ? why did the dna report show otherwise ??
instead what we get ...car accidents after car accidents and literally nothing happens - it's just so annoying and repetitive !

At this point I have no brain cells to spare
the only thing I liked was the angle of the secretary and nothing more.

Tho with all of that I was wondering what more could go wrong - until they did show me exactly what they are capable of -
When you have a serial killer on loose, out to kill you, following you since last 10 eps and you have a car in which the love of your life urgently requires hospitalization you don't go out negotiating with the killer - you run over him - too much to expect... I agree, but what can be said when he just out right disappears and is found in a war zone among the rebels !

boy you built a beach house for yourself there.... property rates????- and you got your girl from the rebels without a gun let alone a plan - make it believable at the very least - atleast act like you are putting efforts !
Not gonna lie - with how illogical it was - I couldn't care less about the treat that was put forth !
in short "They should’ve scrapped the unnecessary sociopathic serial killer mess and made the story about him, her and the phone."

If you found this (bec I can see a lot of downvotes and it being kicked to the last page of reviews) and are still reading - hugs and a lot of love from the bottom of my heart !

who are we to decide how valuable that one day is for the patient and their family.....

-Two lives, one heart ...that’s the most perfect title for the drama for every decision affects two patients...and every doctor will have to make a decision: who should you choose ?... Can those decisions be emotionally influenced ?... Is revenge more important than life? you’ll find all the answers you are looking for in the drama.
The drama sheds light on corruption and moral dilemmas. As someone who enjoys watching medical dramas, every now and then I randomly pick a medical drama….and I guess most of you might agree that medical k-dramas have a different vibe of their own.

As for when we talk about this show I’d first of all mention that I found it slow-paced ...as a 2x speed binge-watcher I can tell you I’d have given up on 2nd/3rd ep if not for 2x ….that being said don’t think that I did not enjoy the show ….I have a different love for med dramas that keeps me close to them and this show does quite well in med aspect ….cuz if it did not there was no way I was going to watch a slow-paced drama centered around corruption and politics.
The characters here will drag you in their dilemma ...for everyone has a story …a different angle to the same set of happenings …which is quite interesting to watch
Before I talk about the leads in the drama I’d like to mention that the side characters are likable ...with their limited screen time they create really beautiful moments that have you waiting for their appearance ….

Back to lead characters:
Choi Seok Han: he’ll literally drive you crazy ...in a good way ...every time he makes a decision you’ll be like ….wait what ..no there’s something more ...there has to be a reason ...that can’t be it...you’ll want to but you won’t be able to hate him.
Park Tae Soo: You can call him our typical drama land doctor ...for he’s that - save the patient no matter what you get yourself into type doctor ...his character might sound like you know what he’s gonna do in the show...and that’s true ...you do know what he’s gonna do in the drama ...for maybe I’d have liked him more if there were more shades and layers in his character….not to mention what was given was good as well.
Yoon Soo Yeon: Was she the main character? ...at times she felt like a side character ...for her story had so much to explore and I was looking forward to her character… I don’t know if it’s the writer or the actor to blame ….but I am disappointed

The story is intriguing and gripping ...the medical and political aspects are done well and the overall vibe of the drama is really good.
All in all the drama is worth watching ...even after me having stated so many flaws if you ask me I am happy that I gave it a try ...see it more like a med drama than a political plot ….try to think in character’s shoes ...and I am sure you’ll enjoy watching.

And maybe I'll pretend I never saw the end(last 2 eps) !

A note to myself - enjoy while it lasts ...not everything has to have a perfect ending !

So the much awaited journey comes to an end and it was pretty much a train wreck but as much as I loved this show, that deeply it has inflicted upon me that endings are often not that beautiful as the journey ! This review is for those who appreciate a critical examination of art, even if it means challenging their favorites. For those who might struggle with differing viewpoints, perhaps a lighter genre would be more enjoyable right now.

So the show is about the most illogical things of all time - someone pretending to be someone else for revenge and that too in front of a whole fucking town and they buy it ! and so will you ! I promise you will !
As nonsensical as it sounds that's what it is -- but let me sing to the glory of this show -

Top notch Aesthetics that scream oh you need to stare at it again ! - How they use clothes - they have given a new meaning to it and it's no more just props it's got life !
The amazing portrayal of women -- oh man the cameraman gave them wings !!
Chemistry that gives you butterflies ! -they stare at each other and you go crazy toppling and turning on your bed !
Villains that make you loathe them - curse them you'll wany to kill them without a thought -- but they have great backstories and motivations for the things they did - disgustingly good as can be said.
The characters the props - you'll love everything about it down to the details - as we take up on each and everything one by one you'll love it more with each ep until you won't be able to forgive the makers for what they do to you --

Let's talk about our very hot "ALL TALK NO SHOW" most charming gege who loves "side eyes" and "taking a seat" every time we fucking hope for him to flip a fan at the very least but i think fan was just the most charming prop who's master never got around delivering to his potential !
Look first thing he waited till the water went above the head and when my patience was taking last breaths -- our poison princess fought better than Duke Su! (yes I said it ) !
I mean what was that fight even (with king's brother)- like for a min atleast I wanted to see that strong man I had been dreaming of - ERROR 404 - NOT FOUND !

My dearest assistants of duke su I am sorry the writers and makers did that to you ! you two deserve all my love for never disappointing me... man I am so mad to even feel bad -- they were too good to just die of random arrows ! Imma pretend they still alive and they be asking - my lord are you going to or should i do it !

i mean to think about it SYR and XFF spend more time together than Duke Su and Li or should say XFF spends more time in SYR's arms in the last eps than duke su in all the eps combined ! SFUODSBLBVJNDFLXN!
and that candle light kiss -- oh my out of the world cinematography I love how you make me hate a candle!

And don't remind me of that king pls - what in the tomfoolery was that person - to protect him who does nothing exactly in the show we have so many people sacrificing ! I mean that consort li has a better role than him and for fucks sake she did die amazingly oh brave women !
and not to mention even the maids and gardener's have more role than him - i wanted to say curtains too but then you'd just say I was being mean and wouldn't believe me !

Lets talk about the best of the lot -- Wanning there you girl - you shattered my heart into pieces you deserved every bit of torture but it was not for you to die like this and make me love you ! - the best end served !

Now my girl A Li - my double edged sword my heart breaks for everything you have suffered and I am so proud of everything you have done -- tho your humor was not my taste but your strategy was until you began your patriotic speech in the middle of a war ! making the show all more miserable ! - I love how you think of JL and the dead girl pops up from her grave I believe you even then but you tell me how am I to buy it that you shoot SYR twice in front of a whole army that is under SYR's command who's job is to protect him -? i mean that's what I think the seal means - or was i just delusional ?

Let me not go around rubbing salt on your wounds with poor Tong Er dying to serve no purpose and that absolute insane of dance , what was that even... not to mention they don't even look at the direction of voice coming from - let alone how they mimic a kid and the way to find if a person is possessed or not is a debate between that person and that monk !

ps . If I have to go on nitpicking on everything in the name of logic I should stfu and not watch dramas - there, said it for you. !

but again as much as I love how wanning's arc ended ..I hate how other characters were treated -And the thing is that the deeds of the dead are not going to speak from the grave ...why was anything not handled officially but then again the king was for tomfoolery !

and tho I hate to admit I must say ---
I LOVED IT TO EVERY BIT DOWN !

AND I HOPE A LOT MORE DRAMAS LIKE THIS ARE MADE !!!

AESTHETICALLY DEEP !

Before you read this I hope you are not a fan of the writing because I in the most certain way possible am not !

I guess the plot line is very clear. A shining star crosses path with a person who aspires to lead a normal life. Both of them belong to what we may call "Different Worlds" and most obviously pique each other's interest. Share some time and paint each other in a color we call "LOVE"!!!
This most basic explanation doesn't really give scope for you to fall for the characters but the characters end up being a part of you as the story unfolds. Then even their seemingly meaningless actions find meaning!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LET ME TELL YOU ONCE - THE ENDING IS NOT WHY I RATED IT LOW !!!! (spoiler)
To be honest there was no apt ending to some happy ending would have done , to some sad, even tho I am a big - NO OPEN ENDINGS PLEASE kinda person I still believe some stories are better off incomplete because that's what completes them !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But there lie oceans of depth that the aesthetics unfold and the story doesn't stay true to !

To put it normal words ....this drama was made for a way darker story , way deeper emotions and was most certainly made for the depths that is couldn't touch ! There had to be more I feel that yearning ... that so much more was to be there that so much more should have been focused on .

Messy characters, unreasonable behavior, screaming, crying, everyday desperately fighting to hang on to life , clinging to that last string of hope, being abandoned, feeling neglect, treating other person unfairly in hope of healing yourself this had all it took for a drama to be in depth perfect !

TO MENTION - the actors did a great job !!!

SHOULD YOU WATCH - YES , MOST CERTAINLY YES !!!!

--------------------------SPOLIERS AHEAD------------------
What went wrong ....I know how she felt when she was abandoned , I could see it in her actions in her behavior but not in her story . I do feel the story did injustice to the actor who beautifully held on to what she was given.
the person who abandoned doona ...what did he offer to the story ?
what role did he play...if he did not come back even then the impact would have been the same ...they what did that brilliant actor do on screen ? waste some screen time ?

what were the side character there for ...there was clearly no time to develop their story ...why waste screen time ? just let them out of the frame . I'll be good with one less couple meaninglessly falling in love.

they did not develop the last 2 eps ...they just rushed to end ...i'd rather see the main couple idle on my screen than see some random underdeveloped side characters ! thankyou !

also it would have been a treat if they introduced a therapy angle like imagine if the FL was getting professional help and still was a mess ....ofc people around have a role to play even after professional help ...I would have loved for the ML to be that ...it's not a love interest's responsibility to heal you of your past trauma ...but ofc they can help and support !
ML doesn't have to be ....THE KNOW IT ALL THE ONLY SAVIOR !

Also I know the ML wanted to be with her desperately but was there anything the plotline offered him ? no it was just a 2 sec drinking scene a 3 sec work hard for your goal and a 5 min drama of why they shouldn't call out DOONA's name or he'll feel bad . LIKE FUCKING SERIOUSLY ? you made him in all fucking 8 eps to ruin all of that complex nature with jus a 5 min 5 sec clip ...?

I am not asking you to give me a reply when doona asked him what he was doing for them but atleast give me (viewer) a reply ...show me fucking how desperate he is to be with her ....
--------------------------------- Done Ranting ! -------------------------------------

all in all ...THIS DRAMA IS SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING , there is so much more than what meets the eye ....give it time ...time to get under your skin and you shall be a new person by the end ! let it grow on you ....spend a weekend with the main characters ...skip the side characters if you want ...do not let the ending bother you ....and you have your treat !

will add my fav quotes in some time ....
till then pls do give it a shot !
HOPE YOU ENJOY !

Juggling too many hats while spicing up the menu!

Synopsis - I am a tad bit confused as to what they actually wanted to present to the viewers was it romance that blooms out of nowhere? or was it a love triangle for sake of being one - which turns out as the most well acted bit !? or was it dilemma of each underdeveloped individual? But one thing for sure is that it wasn't a sports drama !
Was it bad ? - NO
Was it good ? - I can't say that either
but we can definitely discuss as to what went wrong !
As is said "In a drought, don’t critique the rain" - so if you are looking for a sports romance just like me - well then you have no obligation to read further !

What went WRONG !!!
-EVERYTHING !
as per the synopsis they were supposed to grow together and in my right mind I was hoping to go on that journey with them but - I think they grew as people/athletes off the camera bec we as viewers barely get to see anything - be it getting to the provincial team or the national team, preparing for the world championship or street race it's all just a 2 sec announcement and cut to the medal ceremony ! I agree I am looking forward to who will win but if i do not want to watch a race I'll skip it myself give me a fucking choice to do so !!!!!!

Okay my fellow people if we did not get to see sports competitions did we get a lot of ideas for dates and new romance positions iykyk - but hell no the romance ...where in the world was it. Boy comes back after 10 yrs of no contact and falls for a girl he wants to be with for life at 8 and in just a race where they barely see each other ! AGUFGKAJBCK the what now !? but again who am i to say, I found the love of my life (ice creams) when I was 4 or 5 something, in just a bite! I guess one can really be decisive when it comes to love.

And there goes their cliche romance out of the window bec quite frankly that straight face guy with a girl who gives no fuck but loves him like hell rubs me in all the wrong ways. but again what can be said when she doesn't even look at his bestie for days straight and is busy idling around all lovey dovey only to disappear at every minor inconvenience. uhm uhm

The only thing that I liked were the fresh perspective in terms of problems ...like not being able to overtake for the fear of injury, or the thoughts of covering for a genius and not getting the chips ...or making friends outside the rink with whom you are fighting with all you have ....a lot of undeveloped potential in terms of writing ...if only they focused on these instead of taking another pie before they ate the first one!

Out of no where injuries, operations, unexplored relations, growth , trauma, pain, recognition, insecurity...umm don't bite more than you can chew ...you have a certain runtime stick to things let there be depth
also the fact that there's almost no consequence of any action bec oh you know the coach is like a friend to us ....THE FUCK bruh ...national team members need to behave a certain way ...or atleast I believe so that there's no spot for mistakes there ...you have to pay with all that you have been granted there ...it's not some ...come as you will and stay as you please kind of place !

I still have a lot to say and will probably edit it out after i have calmed down but this was not it ....as a viewer I demand more ...
pls for fucks sake ask the guys to act ...one has a straight face for 20 eps straight...mind you there are only 20 eps ....a girl who has no idea how to act ...pampered princess - get your act together! a second lead who barely has any screen time or effect in the story line - if he's the character who is the center of my interest then dude ...something is seriously wrong !

stay tuned ...bec Ik my rant is far more entertaining than the show !

An Engaging No Brainer!

It was sheer destiny that I happened to stumble across this drama and let's be honest you don't deep dive into less runtime dramas with some out of the world expectations. I happen to just enjoy the fact this was an engaging watch.

This drama promises you the complete feel of any 32 ep*40 min drama in just a 22ep*10 min runtime what more do you need just grab a coffee and enjoy the treat while it lasts!

"ALL BEING SAID IF YOU STUMBLE UPON THIS NO BRAINER ...PLS DO SKIM THROUGH IT ...IT'LL BE WORTH THE TIME! "


Story Line - the story line promises a mess in a sorted order things don't really take time to get complex and then unfold it just is a mix of many plotlines handled simply. For the two leads it's about overcoming their trauma and trying to prove the things they have believed in.

for the FL maybe it's also about getting kidnaped and for the ML about fainting ...lol iykyk !!!

Acting- it's all in the cute fluffy romantic moments and the leads do put their best in what's offered to them !
I'd like to see more of them ...hopefully some other show !

music and rewatch I don't generally rewatch but maybe this one I may cuz the run time is literally so small.
for music I did not pay much attention to it ...but it wasn't annoying or catchy I appreciate this kinda music !

TO MENTION THE PROPOSALS WERE SO CUTE !!!

I hope more people watch this show !

"DOOM" at "DEATH'S" door!

So I am not a fan of writing reviews mid show ...but I saw no detailed review on the page and hence decided to go for it.
(ain't I such a good human ) - please take of note of it miss DEATH! lol

SYNOPSIS - It's the story of a man who believes that he has failed at life and has nothing that makes life worth holding on to ....penniless, jobless and believing that even his girl friend has moved on he decides to end this once and for all. But death seems to have other plans.

He's given 12 chances to die (yes die not live lol) but if he makes it alive once then he gets to live the life of that person and escape hell. - sounds intriguing , so is the show.
From the first ep on you are hooked and once you hit play there's no going back atleast for my binge watcher delusional self !

To put it in a cool way -
The story is just out of the stove ( i mean to say fresh) and the show portrays humans in a very real way putting us in the shoes of someone whom we as society have failed into believing that he's a failure. His journey with greed, love, betrayal, mortality, regret, self worth, relationships and death has the viewers in its grip and this makes for a perfect weekend watch.
(We have a lot of cutiepie's playing a cameo here so too many eye candies ...❤️)

If you have read other reviews which i did they say that the character has no development and is practically wasting his chances ....but hey it's human and very practical of him to not learn just by dying ...he didn't live those people's lives how can you expect that he'll be affected in the very first minute ...like how ?
It's just been a few days for him to be living in that body ...he's still the same person who considered himself a failure because he wasn't apparently doing well financially. so to me it does make sense for him to be the way he is ...and quite frankly he's learning ....
some also talk about less screen time given to some portrayals but guyss he's not going to live 12 times he has to die 12 times that's the deal man ...if he just lives as that person for 2-3 months how is that starting at the brink of death ?

The show does well in the humor zone alongside human portrayal zone lol ....(idk why i had to write this line but ...) The actors do a pretty well job - special mention - Go Yong Jung (ML's GF) get my girl crush main role you guysss ...she deserves so much more ❤️ and that baby - damn he acted better than the people who were playing his parents ....he nailed it to every bit of perfection ! and so cute 🥺

also all the cameos be doing so well it actually feels like it's the ML ....also makers must've spent a lot to get that start struck lineup man ...too good of an investment tho !

Park so dam as Death is killing it with every look...! I am not a big fan of her dialogue delivery tho but she's doing fine !

Our doom as human is also doing great lol ...guys he used to be god ...how can he be human so soon ...be supportive lol
no but really he's giving out a great performance!

The show also promises you great lines - if you know me you know my reviews will always have a place for them -

MY FAV - "now that I have seen hell I realize being alive in itself was a chance "

"I wanted a clean death - that was the only thing I ever wanted."
"the most difficult thing to achieve is an ordinary life . "
"do you think death's the end ...it's jus the beginning ."
"why did you die?
because all i could see was darkness weather my eyes were open or shut ."
"Isn't it that what you humans do? You care more about the thorn in your own finger than the knife inside someone else's body."
"there are so many in this world who do not have a choice "
"humans only struggle to live after they die not when they have a chance at life "
"life would be meaningless if you can never actually be yourself "

-- THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE SECOND PART AND MY GUESSES --SPOILER ALERT !

tekang groups first son ig he was shown in every death so i hope they have a twist coming up and that he's the main villain
I would like to see how he mourns his dead gf
i hope death helps him in that revenge of his with tekang group
i hope the first man who died has something to do with the story
and the cliff hanger in the 4th ep ...i don't think that gun would work on death i hope it doesn't

-----
CONCLUSION -

this show is definitely definitely worth your time and please try to hold on the message it gives ...live before you actually have no chance at life ...it's a perfect mix of thrill , drama, humor and fantasy ...please DO TRY !.

PS. it also has bullying ...so if you are a kdrama fan who doesn't like bullying then let me know what dramas you watching bec it literally be FUCKING EVERYWHERE !!!! LOL

It takes more courage to let go than to hold on…!!

The show in itself does not come up with a plot that you might have not come across ….ghosts, spirits, exorcism ….they make up the everyday of drama land, but then you get something unique in every show ….and here as well you come across a different way of exorcism ….you’ll know when you watch it ….and I hope you do ….

All the characters did a great job with their respective roles and here I am including the ghost ( I mean guest ) appearances as well ….the only issue I have is, with the villain ….somewhere I felt that the extent of villain’s heinous deeds felt too much for the actor to bear ….as someone who’s been in drama land for a while I must say the villain here was really flat in terms of acting ….he couldn’t grab my attention and most of the time I couldn’t reason with him, probably because of the portrayal …..I really felt that the motive given wasn’t enough to do what he did ….and I think I’d blame it on the actor …..more cuz he isn’t a beginner in acting ...so maybe I was expecting a bit more, for I have seen the same motive being justified through solid acting, so maybe they picked the wrong person.

As for other things I was actually happy with everything, even after having watched so many ghost dramas I was happy with the freshness in the narrative.
With all those sub-stories knit together through the main story, with no unnecessary romance angle being introduced between the leads, with flawed characters trying to make things work ...with complex emotions conveyed in simple ways …this was definitely a worth watch.

With fantasy plots I usually feel that they often lack detailing but this time the show does a decent job …. Things related to the rules and working of the ghost world and exorcism were explained well …and the ultimate message of letting go was strongly focused throughout the show. Also there is something I must mention ….as someone who loves to kick annoying characters out of the screen ….I was actually looking for characters that I can skip through ….but surprisingly none of them were annoying …it’s actually something I really appreciate in a drama-side characters appearing when required and not uselessly fooling around for the sake of screen time…!!

So to summarize if you are new to k-drama world ….well this show is really a good pick ...and I’d strongly recommend it to viewers who adore fantasy and horror plots. The villain might not be up to the mark but even then the show is really something you should try out, at least once .…cuz you always have the option to drop it ...but in my opinion that option won’t be needed
I hope you enjoy the show and have a good time watching …!!

Everything is perceived in a relative manner !

I stumbled across a feed post that said subs out, saw LDW and here we are !

This movie does not know where it stands and it has no say of it own it's just trying to be everything we see in the western films which go out and portray lives of single people as lonely and give out a message that there are people that surround you even in the dark or like the ones where they tell you to value people and one of the main character sets an eg themselves !

- the false hope kinda movies where after everything the boy falls for a girl - a sudden twist like a lie or anything to draw them apart and they suddenly mature and get together by the end - TYPICAL HALLMARK MOVIES! And no denial they have an audience of their own and people love them because they are done right.

but am I the crowd , NO! so apparently I should have bothered doing some research instead of jumping, which I usually do but I did not IDK why lord nvm that ...also I rarely watch kmovies so I am not sure what they do there generally but I just wish it had a few brainers bec for me the movie was too dumb!

The fl looked dishevelled, like wtf they did with her hair and clothes - no sorry that's not how editors generally look - she lacks the basic confidence - okay she is good at her job and what else - no personality ??? - just being dumb and drunk that's her thing.
yk when she actually takes a stand for her self by that time I rarely cared. she could be bad at love and taking hints but that's not how she is shown. instead the figure that comes to life for viewers is like she's a lost cause and has nothing of her own so poigant !

the ml was supposed to enjoy single life - like he doesn't seem to be doing so - he look's pathetically alone with no people no friends and more like he's a social star right - does he even look like he's enjoying posting ? he's not happy and please don't portray that single people can't be happy they can be and fuck can they are happy ! it's a choice ! - like in short he's just being pathetic !

the side characters -- omg they all have no personality - like i get that it's general for nerds to read books and be in the business but nerds can dress up and have a fucking personality - i am a book reader myself and I sure don't look like that, sorry bitches get things straight before you work on another project like that !

The only thing I liked about it was the message that everything is relative and what people remember is based on how they feel at present and it can't be the reality of it all ! - it's subjective !

all in all if you are trying to copy HALLMARK - better do a good job next time or I am literally skipping kmovies !

Typical cliche's put together in a not so typical way !!

Well deities getting involved with humans ...not so new ....the deity that writes your destiny getting involved in your life ....this is new in my opinion ...which is why i began this in the first place ....
as to whether you should watch it or not is totally up to you ...
as i already told the story presents cliches and tropes in a new way ...but then they are cliches at the end .....you can't really say that you'll feel different when you watch them being presented in a new way .
with the rating..... i usually rate romances a bit low so this one actually managed a good spot ...

REASONS :
just 10 eps and 30 mins each what more do i want ....this attracts a binge watcher like me ...on top of that plot sounds interesting ...!!
the cast did a decent job and i don't think i have anything to complain against them ..ofc i'd hope to see them doing different projects in the future .
the characters were not annoying ....not too deeply written but ofc since they did not have too much time ... i did not expect much of depth and back story and i think it didn't really affect the whole thing....also as a person who gets annoyed easily .... since they managed not to annoy me ...they deserve credit ...!!
i liked the fact that most of the screen time was given to ML and FL and the side characters appeared when required .... and did not roam on my screen randomly ...i actually appreciate this !!
some good lines .....i like it when dramas have these beautiful lines , it makes a drama more interesting for me ....

“If first love comes true every time there’s first love, the world would cease to exist.”

“If you’re meant to be, you’ll end up meeting in one way or another.”

WHY NOT A 10/10 ?
for me some sort of plot establishment was missing ....i wanted to know about the deities and their world a bit more.
the rules and their working .....i would have found it more interesting if they gave me some details .
some things were done in a hurry and could be explained a bit more ....like the story of ML and FL falling in love and the events later ....they were not so well written and i hoped that i could get a bit more for that part .

so to sum up go watch it if you think the plot sounds your taste and you are okay with cliches done in a new way .

Since there are no other reviews to help you decide whether you should watch it or not ...I’d bother giving my 2 cents...

Each cine-drama in the trio is set in a high school, depicting tales of old spirits and secrets that have been long buried in the scene - until now.

The second in the trio - A Child Who Would Not Come …

This one isn’t full of ghosts or spirits and isn’t dark ( literally) ...and has you in this constant debate where you try to fit logic so as to come to terms with the fact that maybe this one isn’t a horror drama even when you have read the genre ...and know that the trilogy is about ghosts and spirits …
This was something I liked about it ….

Apart from this the cast did a great job especially ML (pitch-perfect-creepy) ... you’d never feel like the cast is full of rookie actors ...and the ending ...oops….it’s awesome ….lol (what did you expect, I told you this isn’t scary but it’s quite good I still feel it should have more viewers .... let’s not get to that)

Also potential triggers ….bullying and violence and a pinch of stalking ( ahh weren’t you waiting for me to say this ...of course no school in k-drama land exists free of bullies …it’s possible to not have a ghost in a horror drama but it’s impossible to have a school free of bullies, you still love drama land don’t you, lol )
Also you guessed it right ..if it has bullies, the story is gonna revolve around outcasts ...yep ...but it got more …!!

Re-watch value ….this one has it higher than others...cuz you already know what’s going on from the moment you dive in ...so it’s not like mystery exposed ...and now you can’t watch it again ….
The ML’s acting is worth a re-watch …!! ( even tho I never re-watch shows and won’t re-watch this either ..and you people haven’t watched it even once ...why am I even talking about this)

If you are watching it ...I hope you enjoy …

Journey of Atypical Family to A typical Family !

A lot of you enjoyed the show only to be disappointed by the ending ...most of you loved the romance and the equations that developed by the end ...but here's me who needs a S2 so that I can witness possibly the best use of all their powers ....I wish for a money heist with these characters ...i mean just think about it we have the best swindlers in town under the roof --

A perfect plan by do da hee and her mother , researched by her uncle and sister, all the possible combinations of past present and future studied carefully by gwi jo and his mother and in case something goes wrong ...just jump off the building and fly away ! the perfect escape but alas the kdrama writers lack so much in terms of creativity that now I don't even end up disappointed -- i am only surprised if they don't disappoint which rarely happens !

Story -- bok gwi ju who belongs to a family of supernatural beings falls for a seemingly ordinary girl and chaos follow !
is this girl the end to their misery (due to lost powers) or is she going to add in the lot ... watch to unravel !

The first half of the drama promises a lot more suspense than the second half pretty much of which focuses on already built equations between characters and caters to the romantic aspect of drama-- by the end things get wrapped up rather quickly adding to the shitty-ness of already written mediocre script !

that being said I liked the drama a lot even tho i sounded otherwise till now - I love the character development for every character and the over all setting i love everything about gwi jo's family ....
every person is so unique and so is their story line -- i loved the dynamics of I-na and do da hee , of her sister and ML's sister , between do da hee and her mother , between do daa hee and ml's sister ! -- all of which i'll cherish despite the ending !
I also love the aspect of gwi joo going to past it is well thought of ! -- even tho a lot of questions still remain I think it is a pretty great watch even then !

ps. i also ship do daa hee's sister and gwi jo's sister !

I do not have a lot to say about it but it was definitely a pleasant surprise !

Being remembered by that one person ….the most realistic and simple wish complicated by fate !!

Not some out of the world shit here ….but just something I’d consider worth my time

Story :- Baek Sung Hyun and Han Ji Ah who have been friends since childhood and end up drifting apart, walking out of each other’s lives for good after sharing a sweet young love. But does it end there …(it’s dramaland ...so ofc they’re bound to meet again …!!)

Recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, Seung Hyun is now a man struggling to hold onto the memories he holds most dear. As the memories of his time with Ji Ah begin to fade, fate steps in, in the most unexpected way. Bringing Seung Hyun and Ji Ah together once more, the two have a chance to rekindle their long-lost love. But the time they have together is short....Living with a terminal illness, Ji Ah knows her time with Seung Hyun is limited but the knowledge only serves to make their time together that much sweeter. Cherishing every moment, the two are determined to make the time they have together unforgettable.

As I already said it’s not something very fresh that you have never come across or some out of the world stuff ...it just presents reality in the most beautiful and heartbreaking way ….you know what’ll happen but you’ll still wish for a miracle …
Will your wish be granted …??
why don’t you check for yourself ...

Acting:...decent ...I could see some scope for improvement ...but then it wasn’t bad so I think that it’s okay and you’ll be fine if you are not the type to nitpick on every trivial thing.

The pacing is almost perfect if you ask me, sometimes even a slow pace feels apt ...cuz it actually depends on what you are watching …

...all in all it’s just a beautiful movie ...which reminds us that everyday is precious and every memory is special.

… memories, even if forgotten, once existed ...your heart will never forget the emotion ...even if your brain doesn’t remember the reason …
So cherish what you have ...and make the most out of the given time …for you never know what awaits !!

Since there are no other reviews to help you decide whether you should watch it or not ...I’d bother giving my 2 cents...

Each cine-drama in the trio is set in a high school, depicting tales of old spirits and secrets that have been long buried in the scene - until now.

The first in the trio ..."8th anniversary" ….the best one according to me

So this one has it all hooked from the start ...short and to the point ...As expected from a horror story, the drama was often dark (literally) ...at times it would go in circles but end up at a different route every time ...a bit predictable, a bit unpredictable …

Although the story is on the familiar theme of exorcism and revenge (or rather karma?) There were other rules such as the 8th year trial and a new way to look at serial murders …(that was one of the ideas I loved ...not too much given attention to, but was quite fresh ) Nevertheless, it is still the typical story of ghosts possessing someone to take revenge.

So for people who like to watch horror movies and dramas ...this one could be a good choice cuz of it’s refreshing end ...but people who have a soft heart and do not like bloodshed ...you can enjoy the other lighter ones …

It’s not like the series will leave you scared or yelling….at least not me ( as someone who doesn’t even blink at sudden appearances/bloodshed on screen ...it was kinda okaish ...not too bad ...cuz I have seen even worse ...and thought how in the world they dare to add horror as genre)
So if you are looking for seriously scary stuff ...look elsewhere( tho if you aren't new to horror you might not find any...lol) ...but if you have nothing to watch or can’t decide ...ofc you can try this out ...it actually holds well considering it’s only 2 eps !!

Re-watch value ...after you know everything ...I don’t think there’s any need to re-watch ...since they don’t have too many petrifying scenes ...almost zero re-watch value (more like it’s quite a rare possibility you find it for the first time considering it’s viewership)

If you are watching it ...I hope you enjoy …

The Plot Flatlined, but the Immortals Kept Breathing

Feud starts off with a bang – mystery, layered characters, and the kind of intrigue that makes you think you're in for something great. But the moment the curtain lifts, the illusion crumbles. Every “big reveal” is painfully predictable, and when the actual main twist drops… it’s laughably ridiculous. Not shocking, not clever – just absurd enough to make you question why you were ever invested.

Then comes the immortality loophole – used, abused, and milked dry. Fake deaths, dramatic near-ends, emotional farewells... only for them to pop right back up like it's just another Tuesday. We get it – they’re immortal. But if no one truly dies, what exactly are we supposed to care about? By the tenth “surprise” resurrection, the stakes are gone, the tension is dead, and so is our patience.

This show juggles so many storylines it could easily spawn three separate dramas, but instead of weaving them together, it just tosses them in a blender and hopes for a masterpiece. Spoiler: it’s not. It’s chaos in a pretty package – spiraling into a repetitive mess that recycles the same conflict in slightly altered settings with new outfits and background props. Nothing evolves. It’s just a prettier version of déjà vu.

Midway, the writers attempt to inject philosophical weight – long-winded arguments about humanity’s suffering vs the gods’ rigid order. While the theme could’ve been powerful, it feels far beyond the show’s scope. It’s surface-level depth pretending to be profound, and it shows.

The real tragedy here? The acting. The cast delivers with full conviction – grief, rage, conflict, tenderness – it’s all there. You can see them clawing at something more meaningful, trying to give weight to paper-thin lines and stretched logic. They deserve better than the script handed to them. Watching brilliant performances drown in this mess is almost more painful than the plot itself.

Feud is all spectacle, no soul – a drama that mistook immortality for immunity from bad writing, and in doing so, proved that even gods can be boring if you script them badly enough. It had the bones of brilliance but ended up a shiny, overhyped mess that mistakes complexity for confusion. What could’ve been an epic tale of gods, fate, and morality is reduced to a glittery loop of recycled drama – ambitious in scale, but hollow at its core.
