I can already tell you that I wish this was a movie I could write a really long review to and hype it up.. But y'all... when I say this movie ripped my heart out, I mean I started literally gross sobbing and could not stop even when it was over. I see why people would say this is a horror movie, but to me... oh my gah to me there are no words. I still have no words which is probably why this will be the worst review I've ever written.
I really hope people read my review and decide to watch it though. Crying or not, it was a really amazing movie. Usually a cover and synopsis has to pull me in, especially the cover - This cover did little to pull me in. If anything when I saw it, I giggled and was like "what the hell is this?" but because it was in the "horror" category, I added it to my watch list.... where it has been sitting for over a month now. I am not happy about that. I wish I had watched it sooner.... As I always seem to feel when I delay on reading/watching anything for a while. Anyone else ever realize that? (Side note: If you have something sitting in your TBR/TBW list, pick it up NOW, because chances are, it's a gem. We sleep on gems for some reason!!)
The acting in this movie was really amazing and was so believable that I feel like if I see any of these people in other movies, I will probably hate them. I loved the piper and his son though. They were such angels and so pure. What happened to them was NOT fair. But that's like usual life isn't it? It sees the good and life is like "lol no. Kill it". It's really sad when you think about it.
Wow that was dark... but hell, this movie was dark.
The ending was so fucking amazing though. I laughed... because I am a terrible sadistic person I guess. But the very end-end (those that watch it know what I mean by this) made me kinda confused. Like... why didn't they attack them? and why would he do what he did? It kinda left me confused? I mean I get why. Grief makes you do insane things. So I get it yet I don't? I don't know. If anyone else has seen this movie let me know what you think about the ending.

I admit this came up on my recommendations a lot and from the first time I saw it it peaked my interest but I could never find out much about it. Usually a cover and synopsis have to draw me in. It's the bookworm in me, I guess. Lol. But like I said, there was just something about it. The cover is just like "you know you want to watch me."and yes, yes I did. Lol from what I have read about it (and it could be wrong for all I know) is that this movie was actually only filmed within a few months. Which really blew me away because to me I would have guessed it took the average amount to at least a year. But nope. That says a lot to me as well because the acting was off the charts amazing. I haven't heard of any of the actors (that I know of) but if I based them off just this movie, I would want to see more of their works.
The storyline was really interesting. It's the average "haunting/ghost hunting" but they managed to make it creepier. Whoever did makeup needs a raise. The only thing I didn't like about the storyline was, it was open in a lot of places and left me with a lot of questions. From the start we don't really know how or why it's really there and even later when it gives viewers a chance to hear what COULD BE the story of the ghost, they kinda blew it by wasting time. She talks about wanting to make people pay but doesn't really say why? Which makes me wonder why they call it a ghost and not a demon then. Because usually ghosts have reasons and say why, demons just want people to suffer? I don't know. All I do know is I would have liked a little more explanation. I loved the jump scares. It's probably the only way I ever really get "scared". When they happened in this movie - it made me actually scream. Even with all the lights on in my house it caught me off guard. Haha
That ending!! oh my GAH!!! That ending!!! I didn't see that coming! That ... really took me by surprise. Usually I can kinda tell how something will end but this ending left me shocked like "Are you for real?!" Lol Hell yes! I love a shocking ending.

Other than that, the characters and acting was super cute. Even if things were a little scattered, they did great with what they had. Lol I really hope there will be a season two or some kind of answers though because that ending is what took 5 stars away lol like for real.... How do you not have a ending? Literally didn't know that was possible. X_X It left me screaming at the screen. Hahah I couldn't help it. I really expected more. *spaz moment* I'm sad now. Lol

Loved the chemistry between the leads, nothing felt awkward to me. Though i wish there was a bit more storyline to the ML.
That being said, it did have It's fair share of issues, especially the ending. It left me feeling extremely confused. I really wish it had ended better or explained the reason for that. Lol. I feel like I've been mind fucked.
For a low budget film, I think it was hella good though. Just needs some kinks worked out.

Before I get into the irate rant from hell I have bubbling within me -- let's start from the top.I love this show. I can't even try to deny that. I started it out of curiosity because I kept seeing so many people talking about it and once I started, the storyline and acting kept me hooked.
Okay scratch that. I can't go through this in order. I'm mad as hell. I mean I could chew bricks at this point. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENDING?!?! I am so pissed off Gi-Hun won. Sorry, but I am. In what world did I ever think he would grow brains and actually think about others? I mean even in the games, he tended to just hide behind people to never get his hands dirty. I don't blame him. It was a good strategy even if he didn't mean it. But he is a coward. From trying to take advantage of a old man to blaming everyone for the outcome.
I honestly had hoped that once he left he would have at least followed up on his promises to not only those 2 people but to his daughter as well. But would you look at that. A year later and still looks and acts like a bum.
Like I try to think yeah what he went through was traumatic but how can you promise people that you'll take care of their families... and then not? Even at the very end end he didn't do what he said he would. Wow, okay, he got the kid out and homed him with the old lady and left the money there... I'm just like what the hell? She's probably going to try to turn it over to the police. Lol As what about finding the kids mom? Why bother promising that if you didn't plan too?
I'm sorry. I'm just pissed. Even at the end when we find out there is going to be a season 2 and he is saying "how can you do this to people" -- like they didn't give then a choice? They all went through the first game and left. Guess what... they all (most) came back, did they not? The choice was ALWAYS there, no one just took it again. How can you blame them for the other people's greed? Lol Were you not there too? That makes you just as greedy. I can't stand people like this. They want to put the blame on everyone else while trying to make themselves a hero. It pisses me off. I didn't want him to win honestly. I really wish Sae Byeok had won. I SAID WHAT I SAID!!!!
So if we completely bypass the pos he really is and focus on the other aspects of this show... holy hell there is so much I'll never be able to think of innocently again. Lol RIP kids games. XD
I really do look forward to season 2 though. Mostly to see how Byung Hun and Ha Joon turn out. mostly because I feel like Ha Joon is still somewhere if you know what I mean.
And I mean come on, any chance I have at seeing Gong Yoo you know i'ma take it. I hope he is in season 2 with more parts. Lol
I realize this review is 99% pissed off and complaining and 1% of me all over the place. I'll probably come back to this once I have calmed down and add more to it because I know this show is really good. They all just played their parts all to well that I feel like my head might explode. Lol
Mind you, I know not everyone will agree with what I have to say and that's great. Just don't dump your complaints on my review lol they have a spot where you can write your own review. :p

Let me just say I know there are millions of shows, millions of movies and I swear I feel like everything has been done already but Color Rush was like fresh air! I was not expecting this show to be as good as I thought it would be....
I tend to say that about a lot of webtoon(?) Web series(?) adaptations lol ah you get what I mean. Lol.
The only thing I didn't like about this show was that it ended. Lol Even though each episode was really short and there weren't that many, I'm shocked they were able to fit in as much as they did. It takes pure talent to pull off telling a complete story like that (IMO).
And can we talk about the characters connections?! I don't think I've ever seen a show where I loved all of the characters and how well they bounced off of each other. Even support roles blew me away. I loved seeing them together. Excuse me while I fangirl in soft mode. Lol
Also was not expecting that plot twist in the last episode. When I say my jaw dropped, it's a understatement. But I loved it though especially since it's a real condition that I feel like not many people know about. I kinda hope it makes people curious and more aware of it.
I really did enjoy this show and really want to rewatch it again already.

Interesting enough though, this show kept me hooked from start to finish -- for the wrong reasons. I feel like the more I got into the show, the less I cared about the characters because I really just wanted to see justice, because let's face the cold truth here, everyone minus maybe 3 people, did Seol completely wrong and dirty.
The story was really interesting, there is no way I'll say it wasn't. While it was your typical drama, it did have it's uniqueness in it's own way. I also really loved everyone's acting in this show except Sung Kyung (In Ha) don't come at me, I love her acting....in other things but in this show I felt like she was extremely over dramatic and walked like a zombie half the time and when she stood she reminded me of a Monster High doll. Remember how they used to be bent weird like something was wrong with their spines? Lol That is what she reminded me of.
I hated probably 98% of the characters. I loved Seol and her 2 friends, --oh, and her brother. That's it. I wish more friendships where like that though. No matter what she went through they were always there for her... even the small bit when they were mad at each other. Lol Those kinds of friendships are so rare.
Everyone else can fuck off though. For me my most hated characters were probably In Ha, Stalker Boy, and lazy drunk bitch. I don't care enough to remember their names... and I say that with my whole chest. oh and add on that snobby little bitch she had class with. lol Ol crusty musty ass.
ANYWAY!!! back to the review.
Everything about this show was left open and I hate hate hate hate HATE open endings. This took it to a whole new level though. Because everything was left open. Characters were there then suddenly they weren't? People were with others and just nothing was explained? I get that this was adapted from a webtoon, but that doesn't mean you should leave out information. Lol Especially since these characters were there since episode one. By episode 10 you shouldn't be like "okay well.... we just don't need you anymore" that's not how that works. Lol I mean I'm glad to see them gone but because there was no information on how or where they went, It kinda stressed me out always looking for them because I expected them to come and fuck shit up some more. cuz you know.... fuck happiness? Lol
Speaking of happiness... what kind of damn ending was that? What kind of main character treatment was that? You do on and on about people are using her and she needs to put a stop to it -- then you proceed to use her in manipulative ways. and let's not forget any time she was attacked, somehow it was her fault and if it wasn't her fault they made it super clear they she shouldn't hold it against ol-pwoor-pwiddful-widdle *insert someone's name, there's a list to choose from at this point*. Like wow, okay - she ended up physically injured how many times but still, she should forgive them? All while saying she needs to stop putting up with people's bullshit.
Geez the more I go on about about this the more I want to take away stars. So I better stop here.
All in all, yes the acting was good, the story, while hole-y like swiss cheese, was good. i just wanted more justice. I wanted actual ending.

This movie made my so gosh damn disgusted that I couldn't even finish it. The moment he saw her and had that "look", I just knew it was about to be hell. I don't know what I was expecting, but it sure in hell wasn't THAT.I literally feel sick to my stomach even writing this and remembering the parts I did watch. How. Literally how do you smile in a woman's face knowing you are fucking her husband? How do you look your husband in the face? How in the HELL do you go all out for another woman while trying for a baby with your wife? How do you keep living life like nothing is wrong when you are sleeping with another woman? I don't fucking understand cheating. It pisses me off to no ends. If you are THAT unhappy, then leave! Why in the hell do you get to ruin not just your life or the one you're cheating with, why must you ruin your S/O's life and make them miserable? Cheaters are fucking mental. I said what I said.
My heart breaks for his wife. Knowing she was doing all she could as a wife and doing all she could to have a baby. I'm angry FOR her.
Mind you, I'm speaking of the characters here. Not the actors. If a actor makes you love/hate/whatever then that just means they're doing an amazing job. So huge props to the actors. It's why they're the only things rated a 10.
But damn I couldn't even get into the actual storyline because the affair crap just chapped my ass and kept me beyond pissed off. I wanted to put my foot through the screen. lol

This had so much potential but it tanked so fast. Especially since it's common to a lot of other shows that center around this kind of setting. As the show went on, it got more annoying. They started off expecting us to already know the characters (and if you're anything like me, it can take a looooong time to remember who is who) so I actually ended this show not knowing who was who. I kid you not.
Close to the end they talk about things like we are supposed to know what it is only to reach the end and THEN they show what it was. So for a while I thought I had missed a chunk of the show cuz I didn't know WHAT rumor they kept talking about.
The show was all over the place that way. Throw in a random ghost and it's like even the writers weren't sure what to do with the setting. lol. I admit the ending was new. I don't think I've seen a ending like that. But it does lead to more questions cuz..... How do none of the parents know? None are freaking out?
I get it's a show but there's just to many plot holes and no character development either. It was scattered and pretty basic.
I had a lot of high hopes for this show but was quickly disappointed.

You know, I can't even be mad at this movie. It was so cringey that it was actually cute. LolI'm still kinda laughing though because ... you can absolutely tell what year this movie was made but it also gave me a bit of nostalgia feelings. lol
I'm still a little confused about the back story though because we learn why he didn't like being touched (though we can get the reason why through flashbacks, we just never knew WHO) -- it happened when he was a kid but from how his mother seemed to speak, was that she hasn't even seen him since that happened... so you just dropped your kid at some school and never saw him for 10+ years? Are you serious? And we all know his brother screaming sorry in the woods before he died (yes, we know why but I'm just disgusted) -- so what? The mom drops one kid but keeps the pos? Since she was the one that found him in the woods before he died? Not to mention the other guy who kept sexually assaulting him because he "liked" him... Dude is just disgusting man. Who the hell thinks "I'ma win this person by forcing myself on them" yuck!!!!!!
I don't know... I got like a million thoughts and just want to puke. My emotions are everywhere.
I want it to go back to the cute fluff it was before. Lol
Other than that gross part(s), this movie was actually really good.

This show devoured my life. I was supposed to start actively reading (Hahahahah -_-) We all know that wasn't going to happened, didn't we? In complete honesty, I started this show because I needed something to watch while I ate something. (We all know someone like this. Won't eat until they find a show. It's me.) Anyway, I was like "Okay I'll watch a episode of this while I eat and then cut it off and start doing what I need to do" .... Ha... Haha.... Hahahah.... HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.
Let's all have a nice mighty laugh of "well that was a damn lie" lol. Willing to bet at least one of you (Esther, I'm looking at you) knew "She hasn't updated in a while she must be... ohhhhhhh she found a new show" Hahhaha
Okay so enough about me and more about this show. While yes, It's like your typical Kdrama, can we just talk about the not-so-triangle love triangle?! Geez! I thought I was going to lose my mind! He loved her, she loved that other guy, that guy loves that other girl, this dude over here loves this girl, this girl loves the first dude and this girl over here loves that dude who loves the girl who doesn't noticed and WHERE DOES THIS OTHER GUY FIT IN!?!?!!?
Was it worth it? Oh hell yeah. It always is IMO! Y'all there really is so much I want to say about this show but the fact I just finished it like 2 seconds ago my brain is still screaming and my heart is like o;jghieuhgeirubgieurbvubeluyuebygierubeir
Not going to lie, It gave me a lot of "Boys Over Flowers" vibes. Maybe that's why I loved it so much?
....Nahhhhh!!! This show was so amazing just on it's own. I mean why else would I literally binge watch it? 2 and a half days, y'all. 16 episodes. All of them a hour long. And I watched them all in 2 and a half days. X_X

I realize that is not something to be proud of but haha... yolo? CAN YOU BLAME ME?!
I can't help it. Apparently I have compulse issues.
We all know the "book hangover" but hell on fire can we talk about the "drama hangover"? I feel like I'm wondering what the hell do I do with my life now kinda thing? Do I read now? I freaking should but my brain is like "lol lets watch another show. *creepy laugh*
So who knows!? But I will say this... If there is ever a show you come across and you're still on the fence about it, and it end up being this show.. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL!!!! .... watch this show.... and fangirl with me. X_X
~~Once my brain chills out, I just might talk more about the show instead of just screaming through a whole review. ~~
I'd also like to add, I freaking love all the actors. *cries* Whoever casted these people knew exactly what the heck they were doing because they were so on point. I really wish I could do reaction videos to this because I'm pretty sure I screamed through this whole show. I'm wondering if my neighbors ever thought I was getting killed or something.... but since the cops have never showed up, I guess not. Hahahaha XD

They managed to turn a 1 hour headache into a 2 hour one.All this could have been done in less than a hour.. all of it. There wasn't even any build-up to justify spacing this out over 2 hours.
The casting was good, I'll give it that and only that.
How do you have a 2 hour movie where the first half and second half don't even match? There was no explanation for anything either.
If it only dealt with twins, why take out those around them? Where's the twin? How's the aunt there? WHY was the aunt there? She was a twin so shouldn't she had been "accepted" by the ox god? Why are they trapped in the cave if they're in the village?
See like none of this shit makes sense to me.
I do know I have a huge ass headache though.

I was so excited for this movie. I love horror and ghosts. Just felt right up my alley!Nothing... And I mean nothing could have prepared me for the shit show this was.
The characters were completely terrible. There isn't a character worth liking in the slightest. So I felt zero connection to any of them.
It never actually explained why she had her fear, what happened to her mother, why she was the way she was really. Just nothing to the storyline at all (imo).
Not to mention the spoken volume was soooo low, no matter how high I turned it up, I could barely hear them and of course when they had their weird ass screaming fits, I nearly broke my speakers and I thought my ears were bleeding.
And what the fuck was that ending? I feel like I was supposed to be on drugs to understand anything but even then I doubt I would.
The disappointment is REAL! I feel ripped off and that's 2 hours of my life I'm never getting back.

I feel like this could have been a amazing series but it still needed a lot more buffering imo.I love the actresses that played in this even if the FL's voice did grate my nerves sometimes. Lol but if I'm honest I was totally there for Lao Ji Wang. She's a woman after my own heart. Lol
I really did like this series but it just felt like something was missing and from episode to episode it seemed really choppy. I don't regret watching it though.

I'm conflicted. I feel like this might have been a lot better in a longer series or longer episodes, maybe? It's a okay show but just kinda left me going "ehhhhh?"Maybe I'm biased, maybe I'm not... but I feel Ren would have been the better choice. While I understand what Minato went through, he only took his anger out on her. Then after three years he wants to make things right because she's on a show to help her move on? I get it, but I also don't. and the constant "I'll protect you [blah blah blah]" -- like he didn't treat her like crap those 3 years ago. I don't know. like I said, I'm really conflicted. Because with it as short as it was, everything had to be rushed and cut. But I feel like if the series or the episodes had been longer, it would have given more time for u̶s̶ me to warm back up to him.
