I watched this show as it was airing and am honestly just now getting around to posting a review. Mostly because I'm still in the "What was that?" stage.

I am SO PROUD of Enhypen. So freaking proud of all the guys that were able to get on this show. I've seen my fair share of these shows and I must say it's definitely the first time I've seen a friend betray a friend (This coming from a person who watched No Mercy, I still have trust issues with Gun) ANYWAY considering this was a reality show, there is no right or wrong way to review this show. But hopefully we can all agree that Mnet is crap. :) King of evil editing IMO.

I really wanted all of them to debut. They all worked so hard and I can't help but to think they had everyone picked out before the show even started. Don't come for me, it's how I feel.

I think the scenes that will stick with me until death will be Jungkook trying to steal food and Taehyung ON LIVE TV being triggered over the amount of food they had while he was screamed at for putting salt on chicken. (poor baby) lol but still. It really shows how much kpop trainees go through.

STAN ENHYPEN!! I said what I said. Lol

I can't say I hated this movie, I'm just disappointed.
I mean it's your basic urban legend ghost, which I'm not even mad at, I love those. But... man the alien look just threw it all off for me. It was like someone took the movie and put the instagram alien filter onto the "ghost".

Speaking of the ghost, what even was her story? I feel like all that was talked about were just guessing games that kinda borderlined on Kuchisake-onna's territory... minus the "do you think I'm pretty?" -- nah, this ghost just stares you down until your eyeballs explode for some reason. Kinda a mix of Kuchisake-onna and Bye Bye Man and Boogeyman (wasn't that the name of that series?), imo.

Stare had a lot of potential .... but fell short.... Way short... like the unathletic kid in gym (don't come for me, I was that kid. lol) but really though, even though this movie is fairly new, it kinda has old vibes which is interesting. But kinda hope a remake gets done and they do drastic changes on the ghost. Then, it would be at least a 8 star movie...

Only other issue is I wish they went into more detail about the origin of the story and the whole reason for it. And I mean the whole thing, not just kids playing guessing games on what it could or couldn't have been.

I just have way to many questions and annoyances with it that I can't really give it more than 5 stars.. and that's being nice about it. >__< Would I say trash and dodge the movie, nah. But don't expect a lot from it. It would be a good movie to play within a horror movie night marathon or something.

The usual "be careful what you wish for" but with a few twists.

This show has its ups and downs. Not going to lie, there were more than a few times I wanted to drop this show because I thought it would never "pick up" again. I'm glad I stuck it out though. It turned out better than I thought it would and the last two episodes alone made the whole thing worth watching.

Everyone's acting was great but I feel like there were a few to many gaps in some places that could have been easily explained, unless there were and I just missed them. If that is the case, my bad; that's on me. Lol I feel like I will rewatch this again some day so we will have to see if I feel the same way. Lol

There is really so much I want to talk about but I don't want to ruin it for everyone Lol but I will say.... Jin's character is new for me. I'm so used to MFL being kinda push overs and stuff but when it came to her dealing with that asshole, she really shocked me. Now, when she let him off the hook, I thought I thought wrong.... I'm glad I didn't. How she got her revenge was classy as hell IMO. lol I mean let's face it. Not many would do like she did. They would want revenge with blood and gore in anger but she took the higher road.... She took the higher road on a lot, honestly and she is without a doubt my favorite character for that. For me, her character is rare and I appreciate this show a lot more for it.

So even after rewatching this show to kinda get my thoughts on it right... I still am at a loss for words.
From the start, I was instantly hooked and was glued to the screen waiting for new episodes. Even though I feel like the show was mostly character driven, I really did enjoy the show. I loved all the characters as well. Even the ones I wanted to fight half the time. Lol I loved seeing the guys go from these kinda cold guys to being really amazing people in the end.

But that ending. Good gah.... I feel like the writer just gave up with that episode. I can't be the only one that thinks this. I really expected this huge thing to happen because through the whole show, you just had this feeling it was going to end with a bang, but in the end -- it was flat and anticlimactic. It's one of those moments where you just sit looking at the screen like "......what? ...... that's it?" you keep waiting for the next scene to happen but it's like "nope. peace out" Lol. Honestly it's the main reason I needed to rewatch this show but I thought I might have missed something somewhere that would help me understand why it would end that way. But... Nope.
UNLESS they plan to have a season 2? I freaking hope they have a season 2. How, I don't know. But it needs to happen or something to give the viewers some peace of mind. Because I feel robbed with that ending. Lol I really do.

Me: "I'm just going to watch a episode and see what the hype is."
Also me: *clicking the non existing "next episode" button*

I had zero intentions on binge watching this WHOLE thing the way that I did. As I watched this, I realized through updates... a lot of people hated this show. Lol Which is sad. I thought it was REALLY good! But then again, it might just be because I'm Dori Sakurada biased. Don't hate me. Lol
But I think it also helps that I watched Good Morning Call first. I know this has nothing to do with this show but because I seen Haruka Fukuhara in GMC, I know her acting is a bit... bland. But when it came to this show, it was her advantage. Coming from a shy person, I know damn well this is how I act around a guy I like too. Lol. Not saying I'm proud of it, but saying I can relate.

Now here is where I'm sure people will come for me. This really gave me 50 Shades of Grey vibes. Like a lesser/non bondage version. Which make me think those that hated 50 Shades, will probably hate this show, and those that liked it, will probably like this show. I could be completely wrong though. Lol I just get those vibes from it.

I loved the story. I know it had it's issues and for the most part could be labeled a mess. Mostly because it focused more on their relationship rather than a actual story... but I still enjoyed it. But I get it. I just hope if they ever redo this show, they keep the original cast. I would love to know more about each character's back story. Especially Hiroto. You are told throughout the show that he has a dark past and people want to tell Risa but she always says she would rather hear it from him. Which again, I understand... but I wish she had brought it up and fully asked him about it. Especially since she was put in so much danger throughout the time of them being together. It leaves it like a open ending which is a bit annoying.

I must say for the first time, I like the FL this way. Usually when a FL is loved by all but ditzy and timid all the time, it gets extremely annoying -- so I get the frustration people have. But to me, something about it just seemed to fit perfectly. But I also loved that even though Risa was hella shy, Hiroto was very patient with her and attempted to bring her out of her shell a lot which I find extremely respectable. Lol sometimes shy people need a dom to help do that. (don't come at me for this, I'm saying what I know and feel).
This says a lot though because I really didn't like her in GMC so for her to play this so well and make me feel like no one else could play this part as well as she did says a lot, imo.

Can I talk about Yuki for a second though? The man had all my respect up until he pulled that "I'm moving in and about to fuck all your shit up" mess. I know he had his reason but it literally made me hate him by the end -- even though he explained why and stuff. It's just a hard no for me. To many people got away with assault in this show for my taste. While I know Hiroto showed up most of the time, I wish more could have been done. Now mind you, even her friend was a bitch. Like I get it. You see this hot guy and instantly simp. It's Dori Sakurada, I don't blame you. Lolol but to sit there and be like "you know what, let me date him one time, he might not even like you" is some absolute bullshit. How are you going to call someone your best friend and pull that shit? Then not only that, date one of the guys that assaulted her at one point? Excuse me while I vomit.

This show is a hit or miss for a lot of people and I can see why. But it was a hit for me. I loved it. And it also showed a new side to a few actors that I haven't seen before.

This movie was definitely....interesting. When I came across it I thought it sounded promising with the talk of drama and thriller... It didn't prepare me for the awkward massive sex scene. Had I know about it, I probably would have skipped watching it with family. You can imagine my embarrassment.

Other than that the start of the movie does start out really dark and by dark I mean gosh damn what was the point of that? People are hella heartless. The storyline itself was very fast paced and left little room for breathing.

For a movie that was over a hour long I feel like it was over in the blink of an eye. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. And while I can't stand a trashy ass homewrecker and a cheater, I don't think she deserved what happened to her. Dude that was seriously cold blooded. Which leads me to say, that ending... That's how you get stuff like the grudge. Thanks but no thanks.

Man I hate how there was no justice. If you really think about it... Which is oddly respectable too though because it's more true to real life. Not everyone gets a happy ending. Not everyone gets justice.

I realize this review is really terrible. Even as I write it, I'm like "wow this sucks". but y'all... It's been a hour and that ending still has me SHOOK! like... What the actual fuck. It was so dark and I'm still questioning, if that was her at the end... then who was the girl at the start of the movie? If they weren't the same, why was the first girl even shown? I have to many questions!

This was soul sucking.

Please keep in mind this is how I feel and you don't have to agree or disagree. It's just my brain rambles.

They used Leo. Yeah, I said it.
Without him, I'm almost sure this would have completely flopped. no one would have talked about it. But the moment they said Leo would be in, we all(?) fangirled. We hyped this up so hard and couldn't wait to get our hands on it.
We were expecting this gourmet meal but got served dirt with worms instead. -_-

The storyline was a shit show of a mess, I admit, I still don't even know why Jung Woo was hated and blacklisted. The moment the show started, apparently we were already supposed to know. Cuz hell, it started in the middle of the show. It was awful writing and lacked in EVERYTHING. I also feel like this was a bromance but sprinkled with BL dust to keep viewers entertained. The connections were static. I'm sorry. >_<

They did my man Leo wrong though. They really said "we need your talent!!!...... but make it robot."
Through the whole show he had 1 emotion and voice flat af. You could see moments were a emotion would actually slip out then he seemed to have to correct it real quick to go back to his flat look.
*punches air angrily*
Was he the villain or wasn't he?!!? They sure as hell didn't really clarify that either. Did he really do that to keep his bf down or did he really and truly thinking its what was best?

Now if we can all agree the actual villain was the pos book company guy. Oh and Tae Young's friend. Man really went "I'ma quit and work for these backbiting shitty people"

I don't know. I just know I expected so much from this and it was awful. I don't ever want to watch this again. Lol

R.I.P my soul

Is this the part where I admit this show starting from episode one made me nearly dive behind my couch in fear screaming "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"

I finished this show the other day and I can honestly say I still have no idea what to say. My brain is clearly static noise of insane fangirling. I see a lot of people liking it, and just as many disliking it. Still not sure how you can hate this show because of the "bad CGI" ekrhgerhreiue WHERE?! Lol Okay okay, I know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Guess my inner fangirl just doesn't understand. Lol I thought everything about it was fantastic and had never been done before, honestly. I mean I'm a huge horror buff and this is the first show I have ever had made me actually scared. Okay, I'm sorry but that thing from episode one took me by surprise and I'm almost sure I'm sitting here as a ghost not realizing that scene actually killed me. Lol O_O

I don't think there was anything I disliked about this show because it really showed what I think the end of the world would be like. Not to mention, they covered every type of person and that takes a lot of skill to put all of that together in such a small place. And can we please talk about the setting!? They used one building through most of the show and made every episode unique as hell! THAT IS TALENT! The writers, designers, actors all deserve awards. lol Even the ones I hated with a passion (old abusive man, I'm lookin at you - freaking hated this man's character so much)

While I still have a lot of questions -- I'm sure I'll never get answers to, I really did love this show. I'm actually really shocked because it's rare that I see a preview and think "Holy crap I can't wait to see this!!" and it actually deliver on being as badass as they show in the previews. This show delivered and went WAY beyond my expectations. I can't wait for season 2! (I really hope we get it soon. Lol)

I feel extremely underwhelmed with this show. The storyline itself was really promising and could have anyone hooked from the start, imo. But a few episodes in, it kinda lost it's "oomph!" it started to drag and I kept watching in hopes that it would pick back up and be this amazing show.

Even at 2x speed through over 80% of the show, it still felt like it just dragged by. I felt zero connection to any of the characters. It's such a weird feeling. I wanted to drop it so many times but kept telling myself "no, it'll probably get better soon!" Up till the last episode, only for me to stare at the screen wishing I had never started this show. Lol

Like I said though, it's weird. Because the storyline itself was really good and I don't hate the cast, but I feel like maybe the pace itself is what completely ruined this show for me. I'm sure they meant to build the suspense but... that was a terrible fail. It just made me more annoyed than anything else. The point of suspense is to blow your mind in the end... kinda hard to blow someone's mind when they see what's coming 3 episodes before the characters do. There was zero mystery to this show and was pretty easy to figure out which was a huge disappointment.

I *did* like the ending though, I thought it was cute and sweet but lacked what it really could have been because to me, the characters still feel like strangers with each other. There was no character building, there was no relationship building.
Well no, I take that back.... The thug and the restaurant owner; I saw them getting closer and thought it was cute but I'm still lost as to why focus more on side character building rather than main character building. Not saying they should be all lovey-dovey, it was fresh to see a non-romantic outcome for once, but ---- they were just so cringy and awkward around each other. Not to mention the pushing and pulling away, she needed to pick one, it got old fast. It was like watching preteens trying to figure out life. Lol

I just feel like this show could have been a lot more than what it was. If there is a season 2 like they seem to kinda hint at, I hope it's better than this one.

9 stars because I'm biased AF. Don't come for me, we all have our favs.
The storyline itself had great potential. And honestly as it went on, you know you can't help (least I couldn't) but to think about the actual behind the scenes of K-Pop. It really made me wonder how many groups have been through this because either "me me me" co-members or the "I made you. I can break you" companies. Because lets face it, stuff like this happens every day I'm sure.

Off that topic, there were a lot of parts that didn't make much sense to me? I would slow down. I would rewind. I would go way back on more than a few parts wondering if I had missed something -- (I hadn't.) -- and eventually I just gave up and started to go with it in hopes it would be explained later (it wasn't) - but whatever. It was a quick watch and I enjoyed getting to see Hyung-won's complete savage side come out in so many scenes. If you seen No Mercy, You KNOW this brought back some memories.

I feel like everyone did a amazing job with their parts and really wonder if there might be a season 2 (not holding my breath) but who knows. Lol

I'm not sure what i expected from this movie and i suppose it really doesn't matter because no matter what i expected, it would have been blown away. Lol

Awakened Demon is definitely on my top 10 of 2021. There was nothing i disliked about.... okay, maybe one thing. That it ended. I wish I could see this in show form now. Anything to keep it going a little while longer. Lol

I loved all of the characters... except the douchebags. -_-
Is it me, or is it always the people in "heaven" clans that are ALWAYS the bad guys? They claim to be better, know better, do better.... but even now they call Red Boy a demon and I'm like why?
Because he fights? Everyone (especially males) fight! Lol what the hell. I don't get it. He's never given a reason why they call him that. Just because "he is a demon". Yeah no, that won't cut it for me. Lol and his parents? Okay? He's still his own person and has never given you a reason.
That did bug me a lot but I'm glad it worked out in the end.

Even though this movie is extremely short, I have to admit I felt so many emotions mostly ranging from: I feel like I'm impending someone's personal life and should stop watching - to feeling super happy for the character - to being so mad I could fist fight a 8ft man.

If there was something I could say about this movie was that it was real. It was raw. It was truth. No matter the year, era, generation.... Somewhere someone is going through this and it's fucked up and sad.

I loved (if even for a moment) that happiness he had and newfound strength to stand up to his brother...

I actually would love to see this movie get turned into a full length/show..... preferably with a happy ending that he deserves.... even if life isn't all rainbows and happiness, I wish he could have that.

Now excuse me while I go cry.

Tanked.

I just wanna start off with this is my personal opinion, so take your fights elsewhere.

I feel like this season had a whole different writer or something cuz it tanked so bad. Not even sure why or how anyone is listed as a main character when there were no mains. As much as I wish there was, it might have made this shit show bearable.

Episode 1 made sense and then it's like they forgot what happened in season one so they were like "oh but I remember Hellbound, let's just make it like that!" Or something. And not gonna lie, with making us wait that long, we really needed episode 1 to be a recap. Least I did. For the longest time I thought I was going insane because I couldn't remember most of the cast..... Little did I know, I wasn't meant to because THEY WERE NEW CHARACTERS!!! How are you gonna jus drop new characters (a fk ton of them) and expect people to know them?
While I felt bad for some characters, I had no connection to any of them. I felt more sympathy towards the monsters than anything else.

The back and forth back and forth was horrific and gave me a headache. And that ending felt like a cop-out. If I'm honest, I'd rate this a 3 and call it a day. The only reason I kept going and didn't drop it was hoping more of the old cast would pop up *cough*SongKang*cough*. We were robbed. Lol

Possibly spoiler heavy, continue at your own risk.

Holy grief from hell what was that?!?
I loved this show so much like I knew without a doubt it would be a 9 or a 10 from me. Even with all the dumb petty side characters, I loved it.... Until episode 35 exactly. After that, it just all went to crap.

There were soooo many unnecessary deaths!! SO MANY!! like why?!?
There was literally only ONE person to blame (okay, maybe 2) and that was the old fart Min and his rat nose princess student. Had those two been put in their place at the start, none of this would have happened. No of it.
Can we just talk about how it's always the immortal/heavenly realm pulling this stuff too? But they say the demon realm is the bad guy. Lmao bro where? WHERE AND WHEN?! Y'all had more internal deaths on your own hands than they did. Not to mention in the demon realm, no one hurt her. Every time she was in the immortal realm, she was in slme kind of fight or drama. Sheesh.

And the ending?? With the flick of her hand in less than 5 minutes, she was able to fix ALL of that? She has the power THE WHOLE TIME?!
WHAT 👏 WAS 👏 THE 👏 REASON?!

I am irate and disappointed. All but 2 of my favorite characters died. Technically 1, cuz the other got sucked up into some portal she threw him in. But still. -_- those that loved her so much dies for no reason and it's bullcrap.

I must say though, all the actors did a wonderful job. Like their acting is definitely more than 10 stars. They were fabulous. But this story can eat dirt.

You're kidding me right?

If you are the kind of person that feels sick when they watch "shaky" movies/shows, pass this movie up. I wish I had known how shaky the camera was... would have saved me from the massive headache I'm rocking right now.

If you get passed the shake and headache, the storyline seems pretty promising and interesting... for the most part.
But ... There are still way to many questions that need answers. I admit, I would have rated this a lot higher had it not ended the way it did. We find out what happened - sure. But we get no justice in it and honestly the ending left me completely disgusted and horrified. The fact people got away makes me sick to my stomach.
And also we never get answers for why Tang did what she did. I don't understand the ending. I wish it had explained the reason for that.
I think there is a lot more I want to touch on but I can't get the ending driver out of my head and it makes me want to vomit.

Other than all this, the "horror" part was pretty touch and go. It started out promising but by the middle, I started to speed the movie up... and by the end, it was at 2x speed. So the pace along with the shake, made it go down drastically.
Also kinda wish we knew who made the game and WHY. So yeah, there are a lot of questions I still have. lol
