I love a good OST.

My on-hold list is longer than I can manage so I'm cautious of which series should I even start and I hate dropping series no matter what. Even from the cover I could tell that this is not the serious kind and maybe I'm looking for exactly that kind...

What the heck happened? What's with the rating and numerous bad reviews? Almost downloaded all eps and were waiting to finish airing to start it then came this... Should I start it or not? Looking at the recommend.s I'm not that hopeful. Afraid to scroll down in case of too much spoiler... TIME OUT. Another time...

Stayed for the sake of finishing it. The evil self-made man plot was not that intriguing as I thought so at first, it became more and more unrealistic and his character was so shallow that it made it impossible to try to take a second glance at him. The ending was as happy-go-lucky as it gets without the satisfaction of a true deserving punishment for any of the "villains", heck if it not felt like a sparkly Disney finish. For the romance it was flat, not that mature wholesome thing as it seem to bloom into in the beginning. Learned that too much plotting can kill even a good base. Still not that bad with a soundtrack that can be enjoyed throughout and even after the series.

At the end the "flashing" scene was that necessary...?! Really the penis talk annoyed the heck out of me, once was more than enough. Still was not that bad overall considering its age...

It's from the same screenwriter so if you liked that movie you probably will like this too if you continue....

on the first ep.: seen the saddest CGI for a long time still the storyline seems promising...

Seems like a Stephen King adaptation. The poster sure looks amazing.

It would be so much better if I can go back time just to avoid even starting it now I feel that I have to finish it no matter how much it kills me inside...

Sorry to ask about it but why the heck a Taiwanese series is listed here when it's supposed to be only K-Series? Or a Chinese one?

... and here I am wondering about whether I should start it or not, especially after finishing up Forest of secrets season 2...

Finished episode 14 in a flash, it's just like a good book which you cannot put down or even aside for a minute no matter what. Even though now I am able to see the clear path to the finish line the journey towards is nonetheless as worthwhile and exciting as if it would have been made inching forward in utter darkness. I gave it a 10 already while wondering whether I should lower the first season's 10 which I gave to indicate that this season is far outshines it (at least for me). This should be taking Goblin's place as the most popular series of all.

Episode 7 was the turning point for me it made me realize that this season may even be a whole lotta better than the first one. I like the "killa vibe" it got. Season 1, at least for me, contained too much bureaocracy and over-planning this feels much more spontaneous and free. Even if I am sure that in the end it will be all connected somehow I hope that it does not overcomplicates things and will not make the story seem so far-fretched. I love it so far. I'm glad I first finished Hanzawa Naoki's second season before starting this.

I loved it. There was no need of any saviour or saving of it. Worth a watch. I definitely needed something like this for a while now...

It was not that good for me so a second season... If it's gonna be darker then I guess I will enjoy it more than the first one...

Finishining it up the last episodes in 2020 it's such a tiresome experience still I can do it just to lower my on-hold list. It hasn't aged well that's for sure.

I loved the movie.

I was just simply curious about her preferences and I could not agree more on that every viewing is subjective, I simply shared my opinion on this series like many others. As for being a "mindless idol drama", as you have claimed, that is no excuse for me and could not be a reason why I should not compare it to more complex series. I saw some quite exquisite attempts made in other "mindless idol dramas" to not to be so generic. That being said I have no issues accepting the fact that it can be "refreshing" or quite favorable to others and it may as well be their ultimate fluff this year. The ratings rarely go so wrong, for me at least, seeing that a number of hyped currently airing series got a pretty high rating then when they finish airing and all their flaws resurface they lose their high ratings amking me reconsider starting them even if I was that hyped for it at first too. I will surely check out your profile to get to know your preferences.

Much to your surprise I guess I have watched a fair amount of fluffies which gave me a lot to compare to. I think this one is just plain average at best and in the near future its rating will slowly get lower and lower with the increasing amount of new watchers. Maybe you could give me the names of your fav. fluffs, curious about whether I have watched them or not and if I liked them or not. Then we could see if our tastes are differ so much or just this particular series we ain't gonna agree on.

In Liar Game there was a need for a naiva who could be a symbol of true purity in that kinda troublesome world full of deception. She essentially became a higher-level moral being shining her light over the "real" or could be said more humanely flawed individuals. But as far as this series the naiva only could be in the ML's shadow. Maybe even her acting puts a negative light on her character for me.
