I have a goldfish memory so I better wait until after S2 start to air before I start S1🫠 . I don't do rewatch thing so I prefer binge-watching the whole thing at one go 🤭. I see but this editing thingy did not involved the original platform such as Wetv right?

I've been waiting for S2 to be out before starting this drama. I've waited 8 months already , so it doesn't matter if I have to wait a year or more now to watch the whole drama 🧔‍♀️ . #iamsopatience #justforgetthisdramaexistingfornow

If not for Allen Ren (and thanks to the existence of fast forward button too) I would probably could not finish this one 🤭 .. Nothing standout from the storyline. CGI was rich, fighting scenes were so colorful like seeing a firework show. Some of Allen's costumes were great. I wasn't feeling the romance between leads. Their relationship was more like between a buddy than a lover one. Although, the chemistry here was not the worst I've seen in Allen's drama (I am looking at you, TYFY🥲) . OST will took you some time to warm up to it. My rating: 7/10 .

✅️ Engaging storyline from beginning to end.
✅️ Great acting from all cast.
✅️ Action, suspense and thriller done right.
✅️ Great cinematography.

So far, this was the best thriller drama in the first half of 2024 for me .

Just finished this drama and here is my review ➡️ https://kisskh.at/profile/EvaLovietta/reviews/349307

Greg Hsu in a K-Drama?? Is this for realll😲

I'm sad for the loss of Amotti team 🥺. I like the guy and want to see more of him but now we can't. Although I know Kim Dong Hyun's team did not break the rule but it was unpleasant and annoyed me to see them win by stealing their opponent's bag like that ... 😠

Not me binge-watching the first 4 episodes and wanting the next episode to come out asap! I like how intense the Death Match was and now move on to the team competition I'm rooting for team Hong Beom Seok (I'm happy to see him this season 😍! Watched him in The Soldiers , this man has a great physical & intelligent too . What happened in the last season was unfortunate to him when he had so much more to show ,I hope he succeeds this time around 🙏) , team Lee Won Hee ( I like how humble,strong & smart he is) & team Lee Jae Yoon (this man is a beast in a Death Match that you can easily forget he is an actor🫣. Although we did not see how his team fare yet I have high hope🤞)...

The storyline resembled Perfect Marriage Revenge (which I really loved) so much :

✅️ Both leads traveled back in time.
✅️ Future FL was married for some time.
✅️ FL found her husband cheating on her with someone close to her.
✅️ FL died and now the reborn fl is taking revenge on her husband-to-be.

With these similarities, nothing in the storyline surprised me as I found it predictable.

I'm not fond of Na In Woo as an actor as I could not take his character as a supposedly cool, full of composure & good looking chaebol's grandson here seriously. As an avid watcher of 2D1N for the past few years I was very familiar with his clumsy, silly, weird & random behaviour in that show so his acting of Yoo Ji Hyuk failed to convince me both are two different persons 😂. And about Park Min Young I used to enjoy her acting before ( Healer , What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, City Hunter & Sungkyunkwan Scandal) but here I found her acting was lacking. When she cries or in anguish most of the times I felt nothing. I hate saying this but what she had done to her face , the unnatural outcome of it further distracting me from feeling anything.

Because nothing in the drama was that engaging to me & I was not curious about how the story will ended so dropping it now is the answer. Dropped at Episode 10/16.

The script and the plot suck. The acting especially ml's acting was cringey and bad too . Dropped at ep15.

The story was too slow for my taste. I've lost interest in the plot by episode 7. If you like slow paced mystery drama then this is for you.

I liked how angsty the story was. I always have soft spot for an angsty plot so I quite enjoyed watching this one 🤭. The ml was a walking red flag in the early episodes. They failed to show how much he loves fl in those episodes and suddenly we're supposed to believe he was always in love with her and what he did to her all for good reasons 😅. Sure why not.. Later he redeemed himself in the last few episodes by groveling and I liked how fl did not turned soft & forgive him easily. I was expecting a tragic ending for such story and was surprised when they proved me wrong. I liked the ending. The acting , visual and chemistry between the leads were good too so my rating 8/10.

K-screenwriters : MC turned into a dog : ✔. MC turned into a chicken nugget : ✔. Later we need MC turned into an inanimate object like pen or book ........

When normal length dramas put you in a slump , watch short length drama instead . So this is what I'm doing right now 🤭. One thing I like from watching a short length C-drama is you can finish watching it within one day. Even if the storyline is a crap you don't lose much. Just at most 3 hours++ of your life 😆.

About this one, the plot was nothing you haven't seen before in a xianxia drama. Average in all aspects. 7/10.

The editing was a mess especially towards the end but the plot was engaging enough. The acting and visual also good for a short drama. If not for that tragic ending ,I might rate this 8/10.

To describe the second part was... it was underwhelming . Maybe because I already got used to the drama's formulaic ( he get shot, he is in another body then died and the cycle repeats ) and the revenge mission was just ok. 8/10.

The messages of the show resonates with me. ' Death is not easy. It is not the end but it is the beginning. ' 'Every life is precious. ' 'There is something beautiful even in your worst experience only if you open your eyes. ' So I was ready to give this a 9 but the story in the last episode was sloooow until the last 10 minutes happened. Oh wow I like the twist. My ratings for the first 3 episodes = 9/10 , the last episode = 8/10. My final rating = 8.5/10.

Just heard that this show get a 2nd season . The crew currently filming in Iceland.

S3 was my least favourite season so far. Could not beat that homey and authentic feeling that was evoked from S1 especially. I felt like the interactions between the main cast and the local feel forced at times . Like they need to make those interactions solely for the show & only for the show. Not as heartfelt & natural as the interactions in S1. Language barrier could be one of the reasons. Through this season I found there's nothing special anymore about ramyeon snow crab I wish they change the main menu I'm not even curious of how it taste anymore 😂. Insung served it everyday and now with another cast took over the cooking in the last few eps I think Insung need to find another speciality. Idk maybe attempting another signature dish.. Maybe I'm the only one think he got it easy in this season . I've no hate against the actor himself because I really liked him in Moving🥲. It's just ... I think he has this potential to be more but he did not explored it. His role kinda faded in the background while the other cast keep shining. Even the other additional cast doing better at speaking with local while also working hard at their tasks at the same time. Anyway, this is me being honest to my own feeling since I've been following this show since S1.

I was really anticipating this drama prior to its release and it turned out to be a disappointment 😩. Even Dylan & Bailu's chemistry & great visual couldn't save this drama for me. All the talks about investment, chips, energy bla bla bla the topics are already boring enough could not they atleast make it more interesting... and with a painfully boring storyline ..I was so bored out of my mind all the time. Dropped @Ep14.
