Doona! What did you think??
I thought this was going to be a cute easy watch and it was an easy watch, 9 episodes but there was so much miss communication and even I was confused through quite a lot of it.Very interesting take on the Kpop industry very close to the Nail on certain movements being discussed at the moment..
The actors were great and I loved the other couples in the storyline how they got their happy endings too but I am not sure what the end actually was for the main characters?? some say they are together some say they split it’s very hard to tell! so much miss communication with the audience just as much as between the characters.
At points it was hard to tell how many days had passed and whether something was before or after the last scene or even a back story? I also don’t remember much of the music I think I was more focused on trying to understand the storyline.
Apart from the moments I got lost in the story it was a very easy watch and I watched in one sitting and I would definitely watch these actors / actresses in other dramas for sure but this one just wasn’t for me.

what a great film!
I really enjoyed this film as an action film. It was very impactful, but it had a lot going on in the storyline. You will never left board!Shame that the officer didn’t survive but overall as a film I really enjoyed it. I almost wish it was a series and that there was gonna be a series 2!!
I think the casting was really impressive and I liked the way the friends joined and it would’ve been nice for them to join the task force as well in the end I think.
would definitely recommend this film. It’s got quite a lot of heavy content so I would definitely advise checking the themes and warnings first but for me I really enjoyed the film.

What a great Season 2 so glad I watched this Drama!!
Wow, wow, wow!! I started off not even going to watch this drama then I watched season one obsessed and watched season two and I can’t wait. There has to be a season three?!All the characters all the actors were incredible the first few episodes it was a slow Star season two, but once it picked up it picked upppppp!!
It was another family family moment and Si Eun finding friends again and just really mixing in with everyone was so nice to see I was wondering if he was just gonna stay isolated so it was really nice that everybody came together. The school came together in the end which was amazing!!
I wasn’t a big fan of Si Eun mom I did find a quite selfish from season one and he was randomly living with her in season two and I still found her really selfish. She didn’t contemplate that he found friends that he found good and that he wasn’t in the wrong. She just kept thinking about. I don’t even know what she was thinking about, but it wasn’t Si Eun why wasn’t you living with the dad by the way??
I also really laughed when Si Eun put Hu Min dad in his place and told him that there’s nothing wrong with the Sun it everything is wrong with you and the dad just had like a wake up call to say hang on a second. I’m the problem it was just hilarious!!
It was a shame Hu Min and Baek Jin overall their relationship you saw how they were best friends and by the looks of it Baek Jin was maybe an orphan or at least our children’s home and maybe that was the reason he was bullied in the first place but Hu Min stepped in looked out for him made friends with him only to get stabbed in the back?! Harshhhh I don’t know if we really figure out why that is is it because of the bowling alley owner taking advantage of the boy without parents?? Leaving him no choice but to join the gang??
I am curious, what happened to Baek Jin?? at the end it showed him in a funeral as in he’d passed but what I couldn’t figure out was that bad guy at the bowling alley kill him or did he kill himself?? I feel like I want to know the answer. Is it obvious to everybody about me?
In season one and season two both Si Eun parents make it sound like he’s going to study abroad so is the next season gonna be abroad because they’re all saying their seniors now is it just gonna be senior year at their school? I think it’d be cool for them to stay at their current school where everybody works well together they’ve got the friendship circle and the school is a whole?? or is it gonna be years later?? we care it seems like it’s gonna be a school thing and Seong Ji maybe playing the bad guy?
So good to see Su Ho again!! Maybe he will transfer and be with them for season 3?! Would love that !!
One thing that did get to me a little bit was they kept leaving their school bags after fights and yet they would miraculously have a school bag again at school that’s the only thing I would say apart from that I loved it haha
I liked the end bus scene and I know that they were saying that wasn’t actually scripted but they just fell asleep all by one of them so he pretended to sleep and then they just recorded it. I love that they included that!!
I also liked that that they kept the soundtrack from season one they changed the imaging and I don’t feel like it was as good as season one it was okay and I did like it but it just seemed really sad compared to season one the video?? But it is a great song!! Hopefully they keep the same song for season three. I’m interested to see what they used to match it in video!
Overall, a great season two leaving it wide open with a cliffhanger for season three!

short series with so much going on!
Everyone raved about we hero the series and I’ve never picked it up.. now I’m wondering why I never picked it up!!It was a very short series of only eight episodes but I’d say all episodes were on average and 8-8.5 they were all really good and what I liked as they all left on a cliffhanger that pulled into the next episode.
Si Eun (Park Ji Hoon) What an actor the way the emotions were played through the facial expressions rather than the full body was incredible!! You looked in his eyes and you knew how he felt. His lips always looked really dry I don’t know if that’s part of the character or not? haha
Sun Ho (Choi Hyun Wook) I actually nearly cried at the end. I knew what happened because I’ve seen spoilers and season two trailer trailers et cetera but still it was emotional at the end because in my opinion he didn’t really do anything wrong?? I really did love the acting in the character itself.
Beom Seok (Hong Kyung) Okay? Why do I feel like this actor needs to do voice overs as well?! Such a low vocal it took me by surprise, especially when paired with this character! This actor definitely needs to do voice overs!! Overall the actor they’re acting was great, but I didn’t like the character… obviously I mean what was his issue and to attach onto him all because of her Instagram not follow??
It was so strange and then to feel guilty at the end it was kind of like you’ve had ample opportunity to calm down when Si Eun got beaten up and he asked you to stop you could’ve stopped then but you decided to keep going where’s this guilt coming from?? And then just to be shipped off to the Philippines??? so he got away with it?? so is he gonna become a bad guy for the rest of his life because he’s got a way with basically murdering someone?!
U Yeong (Cha Woo Min) playing an UFC Fighter it was nice to see this actor. Do something different. I’ve seen them in a more relaxed role before I definitely look forward to more of their work!
Jin Won (Jo Han Chul) I have never never ever seen this actor play a villain I was so shocked he played it really well but I was waiting for the flowery friendly guy to come out and he just didn’t want evil character pure evil. Why adopt a kid in the first place and no one’s gonna get him for it he’s gonna get no retribution?!
The soundtrack is also very addicting and it will now be listening to it for a very long time!
For me, the plot, I really liked it, but it was very over the top for a high school?? so they all just get away with it?? And none of them go to college? They fall back a year? Or were they not going to college yet? That’s why I couldn’t get? Overall, it was very addicting to watch very easy to watch being such a small series and I look forward to watching season two and finding out what the hell happens next!

How have I not watched this before!!!
As it says in the title, how have I not seen this drama yet? IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! I will forever be recommending military prosecutor Doberman to everybody!The soundtracks were great. The intro was great. The characters were amazing. The casting was amazing. The storyline was so good and the ending as well usually it’s quite difficult the ending of a drama sometimes they can fall flat and not be as successful as the rest of the drama but this ending just had everything that was required. It had an epilogue as well a year later, which was just fantastic and you didn’t feel like anything was missed. Everything was tied up.
The storyline is a hole was so interesting. You were always kept on your toes and you always surprised because you’d follow it thinking that was a scenario and at the end of the episode it would twist and you be like actually this is what you’ve missed and you’d be like what when how and then you’d want to watch the next episode.! The episodes were amazing. The only thing I would say is they were very long but at the same time you felt like you hadn’t spent that much time watching the TV. Haha!
I’ve said how much I like these character characters and the actors they chose to play each character just fit perfectly and I will definitely be looking out for these actors and actresses in other dramas and be making sure to follow their careers!!
Do Bae Man firstly such an amazing script writing team because that name is brilliant so clever! The character had you loving and hating him at the same time! Cha Woo In she was just this revenge seeking awesome character that you loved straightaway and you wanted her to succeed so badly! And then the chemistry?! it was a slow burn series. Nothing happened bit of a spoiler probably but nothing happened and yet you felt like there was always something there and it was so refreshing.!
Noh Tae Nam okay hear me out on this one first yes at the beginning he was a villain but as you unravelled his story you found out that he was basically abandoned left to just survive and find people who wanted him and he fell into the wrong crowd, he didn’t technically do… okay? He did do wrong but at the same time he did didn’t he did wrong by doing nothing about what he knew was going on and you just saw how lost he was and how alone! Shout out to bolt!! That dog has my heart he’s only companion he’s only family it broke me and then when he went into the military and then he escaped he just wanted his dog and then he went back in and he made that friend who then got pushed to the edge and then that pushed him to the edge he came full circle in the end But I just I was almost. I was pretty much on his team by the end of the series and I wanted him to do really well. And the actor that played the character was genius I will be following his career moving forward.!!
The Auntie and the judge in charge of the law division department how cute?! And Kang Ha Joon?? Okay I wasn’t his biggest fan than I was then I wasn’t very interesting character you weren’t really sure what to believe!
Noh Hwa Young as a character and as a villain obviously you don’t like her but as an actress so so impressed with the way she played this role it fit her so well and the way she was able to make you feel shocked impressed and angry at the same time a real true villain character was brought to life and it was so thoroughly enjoyable to watch… however her maternal skills are non-existent until that one moment where she cried I mean what gave her the right to cry I don’t know !!
Young Moon Goo what strange character you couldn’t really tell if he was for justice or against it and he kind of bobbed and weave into every group and every situation he was always on the sidelines or somewhere around almost like a bad smell ha ha ha ha!! Justice was reserved but at the same time his character does confuse me because he was almost lost looking for something and he thought he’d found it and then greed et cetera go in the way really weird!
Overall, I really really enjoyed this series and I’ll be looking for other series similar to this to watch in the future and bonus if I find a series to watch with any of these actors and actress!!

what’s not to like!! - a great romance comedy a modern K drama with so much humour!
The potato lab was such a great romance comedy a modern K drama with so much humour it was just so fun to watch!I loved the OST My favourite was my destiny by Seungmin (Stray Kids Member) His OST Are always so good!! But overall, the music for this K drama was really well suited!
The casting for this K drama!! There were so many well known actors and actresses! And I thought the cast was really well chosen. so happy when I saw Shin Hyun Seung & Yoo Seung Mok where going to be support roles in this drama. and the guest rolls were so good!!
As for the drama storyline itself, I actually really liked it. It was very easy watching and there were a few twists and turns but it wasn’t something difficult to watch. You were able to just enjoy it and you always finish an episode laughing or smiling. It just had that positive effect.
I really liked the main characters Kim Mi Gyeong & So Baek Ho They had so much growth throughout this short limited drama, but none of it was following a really heavy storyline they would mention certain things, but nothing was heavily in detail. But it wasn’t necessarily missed because you knew you were watching a light heart drama.
Park Gi Se was a bad guy, but I did feel a bit sorry for him, but I guess he did kind of get his happy ending?? and then Kim Ga Eun played by actress Lee Ong Ju?! not only an incredible character, but an amazing actress and I will definitely be looking out for more dramas with her in!! Her character made me laugh so much, and then when she Starts a relationship with the brother So cute, but so funny as well their chemistry just made you laugh and smile!!
I really liked that the last episode also went into the future three years it was so sweet to see them more than what they were up to and it was such a nice tying to finish off the storyline and the characters and the found family moment!
overall, I think the only thing stopping me from rating this drama higher is that it was such a lighthearted drama. They almost wasn’t enough to grip me. usually I like a bit of a OMG moment and there was a third act breakup in this drama where you wondered how they were gonna get together in the end but it didn’t really last very long and it wasn’t very serious and it wasn’t really a break up either so I think I just needed something a bit deeper at points.
But overall, I really enjoyed watching this drama and I would definitely rewatch it and definitely recommend it to anybody who’s wanting to watch a lighthearted easy fun drama.

I enjoyed it! Very cute and fun Series!
I actually really enjoyed this series our start off by saying everyone keeps mentioning the last two episodes aren’t as good and that they tanked?? I personally didn’t see it??The series is a whole was just cute sweet bit funny a few tense moments and I did cry in the last two episodes but overall it was really sweet. All the characters and then the love triangle the way it all got tied up in the last two episodes was really really sweet throughout you kind of liked one character than liked another and I really liked the general when she passed. That did make me cry and I’m so glad heaven an earthly fairy survived and they got their little happy ever after.!!
Yeah, I’m not really sure why everyone said the last two episodes weren’t very good. I just watched them and they were really good. They answered most of the questions okay Bongsu had a really quick ending he just said goodbye and that was it and why didn’t understand it? It looked like he didn’t know his name?? But he was a child so I kind of forgave him for that and all worked out in the end!
Would definitely recommend this drama if you’re wanting something cute, funny fast paced bit of romance but a bit of fantasy as well.

10000% worth it !! this drama just had everything!
Wow this Drama is definitely up there as one of my top top topppppp watches!! Laughing and crying and everything in-between! There was romance there was sorrow there was confusion there was mystery there was semi revenge. There was happiness there was growth this drama just had everything in it that you could want!!This drama was so so refreshing. I would tell everybody and anybody (I already am!!) to watch this drama to feel all the feelings and to ride the journey with these characters 10000% worth it !!! The music is also incredibleeeee and added to my playlists for ever!
There’s so much say!! Firstly Park Bo Young is an incredible actress and I love to watch everything if she’s in it, her skills are just incredible and the way she was able to play twins in this series?! 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️💕
I really liked Mi Ji she’s the character. I fell in love with first her personality the way she came across she was strong but there was so many layers to her and you were so intrigued about the three years and everything that had happened and where she was and why she was there and what she was doing, I was obsessed! The quote her and Grandma came up with will always stick in my mind!!!
“Yesterday is over.
Tomorrow is yet to come.
Today is yet unknown.
Let’s go!”
Don’t even be surprised if that becomes my new life motto where did the screenplay come from? Who wrote this who directed this? Obviously I know the answers 🤭 buttttt I’ll definitely be looking at their other work. This was incredible.!!
Another quote I loved was "love isn't about winning or losing. It's about remaining on the same team until the very end even if you lose. Love is about staying together even if you lose a hundred or a thousand times."
Then we have Mi Rae at first I found it really hard to get on with her because she just came across so closed off and frosty but when you got to know the character she again was just so relatable! I really liked that she got back at everybody at the business and that she didn’t let it slide. What happened I do think that storyline was so clever and so well written! The brother?! Kim Tae I I’m sure I’ve seen him in other dramas and I was just so impressed with his character. I did not expect him to be who he was. I definitely thought he was gonna be a bad guy and he turned out to be so awesome.!
Okayyyyy Park Jin Young who played Lee Ho Su in this drama I’ve never heard of him and now I can’t forget this actor/singer/everything his acting skills was so impressive. I genuinely thought he was just an actor if that makes sense?? to find out he’s also part of a K-pop group GOT7 I’ve already started listening to their music. Lee Ho Su Was such a lovable character he just had adorable written all over him! I was quite concerned at the end thinking it was gonna be a break up and they were gonna leave it like that. I’ve seen dramas where that happens but the fact that he opened up and he grew his character was just so incredible, he didn’t let anything phase him and when it did, he worked through it.
Won Mi Kyung played Kim Ro Sa Restaurant owner and Cha Mi Kyung played Kang Wol Sun, Mi Ji and Mi Rae's grandmother. Both these actresses need a round of applause their characters had me crying full on bawling my eyes out with their stories! Kim Ro Sa Character was so colourful one minute you thought she was just this angry restaurant owner the next minute you looked behind the layers and you saw this beautiful woman who you just wanted to be your neighbour and someone that you knew, I was so worried about the Sun and when it all came out and then it was saved, I was crying!! grandmother … what an actress it was nice at the end to see that final part to see and show just how well she was portraying her ill illness because at the end it was almost a completely different person! I cried so badly when she said to Mi Ji that she could hold on a bit longer if she needed ughhhhh my little heart!!
I enjoyed seeing actors and actresses that I’ve watched before appear in this drama and I am not just taking about the main characters! to highlight a few others would be Shim So Young playing Lee Hyo Gyeong [Planning and strategy team senior] Kim Sun Young as Yeom Bun Hong [Ho Su's mother], Jang Young Nam as Kim Ok Hui [Mi Ji and Mi Rae’s mother] and Im Chul Soo as Lee Chung Gu [Ho Su’s senior] they made this drama so enjoyable and entertaining! The mums were so opposite yet they were both so funny in their own way and seeing the back stories too was amazing! I think I would have liked a bit of back story to Ho Su’s senior Lee Chung Gu his character was so interesting!
All the roles and characters created in this drama was so well executed and all the up-and-coming actors and actresses. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the other dramas that they’re in because they were just so good!! Park Yoon Ho who was Lee Ho Su [Teen] 👏👏 and Lee Jae In who was Yoo Mi Ji | Yoo Mi Rae [Teen] incredible!!
I am curious the choice at the end for Mi Rae and Han Se Ji… where they friends or more?? I could not quite understand I feel like he had feeling for her especially at the airport and then the end scene where they smiled??? 🥹💕
It was wrapped up so well as a series and I can’t wait to see what both writers, directors andddd actors / actresses do next!

fantastic all round series it had it all!!
I honestly really loved pretty much everything about this series. It was just the right length and it had a bit of everything!So I haven’t actually watched Park Bo Gum before not on purpose. I’ve just never come across their acting in a K drama that I’ve watched.. I can’t lie I was blown away their character Yun Dong Ju was just played so so well it was almost just perfect for them and it’s no surprise that I will be watching more dramas with this actor in!!
Yun Dong Ju and Han Na (played by Kim So Hyun) had such a soft buildup to the relationship you could see there was a past but it wasn’t heavy. It was just really easy-going and lighthearted.
However… there was a semi love triangle sort of thing going on which I think if it wasn’t Kim Jong Hyeon (played by Lee Sang Yi) I don’t know if I could’ve got on board with it as much the fact that they all just worked in the same department or same team it was insane! I also really like Lee Sang Yi so for him not to get the girl in this part was so sad and I think if it wasn’t such a good series and the two main main characters didn’t work so well then I would’ve wanted Han Na and Kim Jong Hyeon to get together!! But I also really loved the bromance between Kim Jong Hyeon and Yun Dong Ju!!
Min Ju Yeong played by Oh Jung Se .. wowwwww what an actor what a character it was just incredible every time you thought you’d figured him out you got a curveball!! I couldn’t quite tell at the end in the prison cell if that person had come in to kill him or if he was killing that person and then putting on the uniform and escaping? I think that character just had so many curve balls I just wasn’t sure if that was the final curveball.???
Another couple that I really wanted to make it to the end was Drugmon and Black Cat Leo?! it tore my heart to pieces when he got shot!! And she gave him her real name like tears!!! My heartttttt Lee Ho Jung and Ko Jun just looked so good together in this series their characters were so perfect for each other and I was really impressed!
Man Sik played by Heo Sung Tae and Jae Hong played by Tae Won Seok were the other two members of the Olympics policing team and I do think without them the team would’ve been severely unbalanced. They just brought the right amount of comedy and softness to the group. Their characters were a bit softer but still lovable.
I did not like when the noodle restaurant owner told Yun Dong Ju to stop coming round like what did he do? I get it but it was so upsetting and then to just to turn around after a near death experiencing go I’m sorry you’re like a son to me. It’s like hello?! he was always there!! Glad for the happy ending but still annoyed hahaha
They were so so many guest rolls and stars in the series that were like in and out it was so incredible just to see them all. I can’t name everybody my reviews already gonna be really long but every single guest role was noted and every guest role was perfect!!
I will say that points when Yun Dong Ju and Han Na were kissing there was no OST ..? it was just the sound of lips kissing and I’ve never heard that before. It was a bit odd for me not here to judge. It was obviously a part of the script but I think I’m just so used to the normal K drama OST kicking in so for me it wasn’t great. However the OST‘s I am obsessed with this series!!
I also liked on the last episode. You got a look into the behind-the-scenes and the outtakes which was really funny!!
I really really did enjoy this drama and I’m so glad I watched it live as well because that just added to the anticipation of when the next episode was gonna come out and I would say if you’re looking for a little bit of closed door romance a lot of action mystery a bit of crime scene murder mystery this is definitely the drama for you!
