Didn't think I'd miss them...
....but I do ❤️ What do I do now without those silly people in my life weekly???There were fillers and there were ridiculous side plots and episodes that seemed pointless. BUT I fell in love with them. Every last flawed, annoying, infuriating, vulnerable, loving, hating, hurting, touching one of them. And I miss them.
ML and FL impressed me. Actually all the actors IMO did a great job.
Bottom line, dont regret investing 36 hours watching this. Miss them like crazy. 🫰❤️

Iconic and not just for "deh childryn"
This series to me exudes quality and ambition for stellar smack in the face entertainment. This is not just "for kids" - this is graphic violence and hilarious comedy for any appropriate age group for the rating of 18+There was never a dead moment and every episode grabbed my tired old attention span right center. Some aspects even gave me some Clockwork Orange wibes, without any obvious nod per se. Yes, the old ultra violence thrilled this ahjumma.
Caracter development excellent and interesting as well as the storytelling. OST needs mention, especially the Backpacker opening track. I haven't had this much fun watching "yet another teen drama" for a long time.
Highly recommend for young, middle and old alike. I suspect the genx world population may enjoy this especially well. Thank you study group. Keep on keeping on and create opportunities even in hellish situations! 🤘🫰🤙👏

Sleek, beautiful, noir. Loved it.
This drama is not going to suit everyone's taste. But for a nordic sucker for a noir atmosphere and grown up, complex and flawed characters this was a total dreamboat and a bag of chips.No work is flawless, its just a question if it matters to me or not. In this case I did not give one f***k and enjoyed every exquisite minute of gorgeous cinematography, intrigue and deliciously dysfunctional everything.
The 8 episode format is perfect so at no point did I feel frustrated with a banal side plot or unnecessary complications or pointless montages/scenes.
The OST was to me tasteful and understated, but very powerful and gave me goosebumps every now and then. Nothing unnecessary, just perfect and the power of silence has it's own life in this sound world.
I could feel that this is based on a book, theres a literary and disciplined feel in the visual language. I was overall pleasantly surprised and satisfied that this did not slip into cliché. As much as I love a good cliché it would have subtracted from this lovely gem.
Thank you Trunk!

I adore this little melo ?
I found myself cursing through my teeth every time I saw how many episodes I had left. Never nearly enough, because this went by so soon.I would have gladly spent 10 more hours happily doing nothing much with these superb characters in their quirky sweet universe.
The music was imo excellent and almost an extra actor in itself. You need that for this kind of drama and it worked it's butt off. Yes, it's what pushes me to 10 with no regrets.
Loved it. Adorable. Interesting and low key dark. Like we are 😘 Will rewatch 100%

Pleasantly surprised.
This film really surprised me.I absolutely loved its thoughtful and kind handling of subjects such as taboo, prejudice, toxic work culture, trust, intimacy, personal boundaries and safety in relationships.
I felt it was character driven, but managing a light and human touch handling quite serious and often painful subjects.
Loved the acting, I bought every minute and the chemistry between leads was palpable and sweet.
A little naughty, a little nice and a whole lot of kind and tolerant all in one package with a bow :) Recommend.

Tried to resist, but failed lol
I wanted to be such a sourpuss about this medical drama, but couldn't resist it's charm. Is it without fault? Nope. Do I care? Also nope.There's irresistible charm here and I loved every over-glorified, super-dramatic, cheesy, funny, engaging and heart-string-pulling minute of it. This drama is just dripping and oozing entertainment for me.
I can't wait for more of Dr. Baek, nurse Gangster, dr. Bunghole and friends. Crossing fingers for multiple seasons to come 😍😆🤞🫰

What an absolute tour de force by Shin Hye Sun
I just keep coming back to this gem and every time I'm more impressed by the FL actress' piece of physical comedy in this drama. Comedy is such an underrated genre, but so hard to master. I keep appreciating her command of her body and mannerisms in this drama more and more each time.Other actors do a good job and obviously the director was on the A-game. But Hye-Sun just owns this so much I've written my first review to sing her praises. I can't not and can say no more.
Slay, (Mr )Queen! Love. Recommend.
