Absolutely loved this movie.

It's quite solid throughout the whole 49 episodes. Lovely music and costumes and good acting. Very unique female portrayal for a Chinese drama. They did a really good job. Not the best show I've watched but I very much enjoyed every episode. Recommended.

I'm a sucker for a good BL and this one is by far the best I've seen. Normally I don't care about endings as long as they don't make me cringe. Here though I wished for them to be together so badly. Their chemistry was just unbelievable and I adored their banter like nothing else. Such a beautiful story as well! Call me naive or a hopeless romantic for thinking this is what love is meant to be and I'll just continue looking for my very own mean Green Giant ❤️

After watching Stranger from Hell I've realised what a great actor he is! His smile gave me creeps. Loved him in Goblin and Tale of Nine Tailed as well but after SFH I want to see him in more intense roles. I can't believe his versatility.

You need to stick with it and get over the confusion of the first episode. It will all click together later on and grow on you very quickly. It's a masterpiece but you need to be patient with the character development.

I think I have never seen anything more disturbing than this. I love Lee Dong Wook but omg he
was so unbelievably creepy in this particular role. Thinking of his other roles, I can't believe he's been able to pull it off this masterfully. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see where it was leading. How unbelievably fucked up human mind can be or grow to be. I would give it 20 out of 10 if I could cause I'm used to crying and laughing with my favourite characters but this tortured my mind in a way which made me feel sick to my stomach. Never felt this way while watching a tv series.

My personal favourite is The Guest. It's just absolutely amazing.

Totally unrealistic fairytale which by some miracle didn't make me cringe at every second scene considering the background story. Yet I absolutely loved every dragging minute, over the top romance and hillarious NK characters. This fairytale has no ambition to be taken seriously and that's why it's worked for me. My only regret stays with Dan.

Absolutely loved it. Completely different than the first movie but if you're a lover of fantasy, you will be in heaven. I liked the first half of the movie a lot more as it was quite lighthearted and oh so enchanting with all the creatures. Could do without the action bits but no complaints, it was nicely done. I'm more than happy to rewarch both movies in the future.

What do we know how he truly feels about it? He might feel sorry for himself because it's going to completely destroy his career and undo everything he's worked for. People are not forgiving creatures. He might also feel a true remorse but honestly who's going to believe him after keeping silent for so long? No person aspiring to become a publicly known person would willingly disclose anything like this though. Their career would be over before it even started. Being a public person means you're expected to be an example for others and dark past is something people will always question and therefore doubt your moral qualities. However, nobody, not even his victims, know about his circumstances or motivation to hurt people. Often those who bully others are abused themselves. Also the system failed if this has been kept under the rug for so many years. We're driven by a sexual instinct and human brain isn't complete till we're like 18 or so and a lot of our actions are driven by our animal brain. It's a vicious circle one can not not easily step out off if lacking on moral authorities who could teach them what's wrong and right and set them on the right path. I'm not his fan and not trying to defend him in any way but even if he truly feels sorry for what he did he doesn't have a time machine to go back in time and make amends. Apology is the least he can do but it will change nothing for the victims as they've carried this pain for too long without any help. People do change though. That's what life is all about, learning and growing as human beings. He might have grown from an angry teen to be a good person but when his dirty laundry is all over the internet and people call for punishment only those who know his current self will appreciate it. I kind of feel sorry for everybody involved. People should feel safe to report such things to authorities immediately and not XX years later. Their wounds might have healed a lot sooner and without additional anger towards their abuser going unpunished. His guilt might have also been easier to carry if he got the punishment soon enough so he could learn his lesson and start afresh. If there was any guilt at all.

Definitely didn't expect myself to get emotional over this kind of plot but the actors were fantastic (amazing chemistry) and they did sooooo well with the OST. Loved Ji Chung Shin character. Surprisingly complex for a villain. The actor deserves a lot more recognision, he was really good in that role! They kept a pretty steady pace though I was a bit disappointed with the cheesy ending which made me cringe at some moments but not so much as to spoil the whole series for me. Good action though I was more impressed with the scenes leading to the grand finale but it might be because the second villain was a bit disappointing. Overall a big surprise for me and I'm looking forward to season two.

I have a weak spot for this kind of dramas but out of all of those I've seen so far (more than what's healthy for my heart) I can say Amanza is definitely one of the best. The animated side story elevates this drama to another level. I also really loved how it touched the topic of the social impact such a situation would inevitably have on the family members and friends etc. That was actually more disturbing for me than the main story. Especially the lack of acceptance and understanding at the workplace.

Thank you so much for the links!

Such a beautiful movie. So touching! Great bromance too. Loved their interaction. Deserves much higher ratings.

I'm as bitter as you, I guess. I was grinding my teeth during the last two episodes. Wish they maintained the great atmosphere of the first few episodes. Such a waste of potencial.

That's a pity. It's really worth watching with the original voices. Personally Wang Kai's voice is music for my ears. Maybe he has a voice actor, not sure, but love Xiao Jingyan's voice. I watched it on Youtube.
