l love her so much. She plays wicked bitch so well (Under the Queens Umbrella) and then flips to nurturing mother that you just want to cuddle (Hospital Playlist). You can hardly believe its that same woman.
I love sageuk but often the political intrigue gets overly complicated and difficult to follow. This was perfectly pitched. The plot twists weren't too confusing and the story unfolded really well. It steered clear of too many obvious clichés. And was just wonderfully acted. Loved it loved it loved it. Highly recommended!
Loved the concept, the build up and the action. All the acting is on point. Really enjoyable. Binged it all in one sitting. I'm not against an open ending but unless there is definitely a season 2, the ending left a few too many loose ends and one massive unaddressed thread which let it down a little for me.
OK what was with that ending?! Looks like we might be getting a modern day Season 2... God I hope so!! Loved it. Loved the bitter sweet ending. Loved the creature and the "science" behind it was just plausible enough to be believable. And I was shocked to find that the Unit 731 that inspired it was actually real!!!
Finally finished! I loved the warmth and the build up of the story. And of course Wookie and Hye Sun were excellent as ever, and the chemistry was on point. And the rest of the cast were great. But I don't know the ending all felt a little anticlimactic and rushed. Still if you love slice of life K dramas especially those away from Seoul I'd still recommend.
So far this is right up my street giving that Our Blues/Home Town Cha Cha feel. Love a slice of life drama that takes you out of Seoul. Looking forward to how it unfolds.
Enjoyed this quite a lot. I feel like the depictions of the various mental health conditions covered, while not perfect, felt more sensitive and accurate than in many other drama's. The use of special effects to highlight people's emotions and/or delusions I thought really worked. Tbh the storyline I found the least believable was the revelation and aftermath of the exposure of Da Eun's own depression. It may be my lack of exposure to Korean cultural norms but I found it hard to believe she was the first and only nurse/employee managing depression in a large University hospital, as the story line seemed to imply. And exposing her name like that surely there are confidentiality laws to protect staff/patients from exactly that scenario. Both the romances were really sweet and believable with good chemistry. And the ending was satisfying, with the story left open enough for you to create your own scenarios but no irratatingly ignored loose ends. Plus we got the obligatory psycho mum, who I always love to hate. So all in all, if you like a slice of life K, with a little comedy and romance I would recommend.
Empress Ki was my first ever K drama that led me down the well of K drama addiction, so I've always had a soft spot for a good Sageuk. And My Dearest is definitely one of the best!! I'm 8 eps in and I've had ALL the emotions so far!! Attempting to not stay up all night now I have the weekend to catch up...
Did exactly what it was supposed to do. Top class revenge movie. Great action. Gives enough details, but doesn't get too bogged down trying to overdo the details and backstory. Just in, violent revenge, out. Loved it! But she didn't have to do the Lambo like that lol!
It was fantastic, I was hooked. Full of everything you want from an 15+ action Period K drama. Romance, Bromance, Gun Slinging, Swordfighting, Freedom Fighting, Violence, Homour, Tears... loved it all!! Then Ep 9, I was hopeful until about halfway through and then I knew... for goodness sake Netflix can we just drop the whole season in 1 like the good old days of K drama. If I want a cliff hanger and a bloody 6-12 month wait there are literally 10000's of Western dramas out there with multiple seasons!! Worse still if they end up not greenlighting a 2nd season and try and call that an ending!!
Kim Won Hae is definitely one of my favourites. Everytime he shows up in a drama I start smiling because I know that means I'm in for a decent watch. Especially comedies, total scene stealer in every single comedic role I've seen him in ❤️
As a 2023 post Rover EXO-l I've been hunting down all the EXO content I can since April. I've basically watched all 4 Ladder seasons back to back. If you love EXO there really nothing not to love about this season. I gave it 9.5 only because no Kai and I wanted more DO-cam in ep 12.
Really well put together slice of life drama. The bromance between the three leads was so believable and adorable. It felt like a genuine brotherhood amongst three grown adult men and was such a joy to watch. If you enjoy mature and gentle stories about life, love and loss, then I highly recommend this one. There are few classic K drama clichés but it was entirely forgivable for me besides that's why we love K.
Wasn't going to bother with this, I'm really not usually intersted in "idol drama's". But this year I've become a sucker for all things EXO. And Xiumin is one of the cutest humans alive. And the for a cute little buddy comedy it's actually really enjoyable, sweet and fun.
Well I was skeptical after 4 years and major cast changes whether I'd still be ad excited by this series. But 4 episodes in I'm just as hooked as the 1st season. Loving it!
OK so they managed to make me believe they might actually have pulled a double bluff and then killed Hogae on the roof. I was so vex. The joy I felt when he turned up at the funeral home. This series got me in the feels big time. Love love love Soel and Hogae so cute together. I think they kind of rushed the wrap up of the old arson case but I forgave that because Dex's story wrapped up well. Also totally called the suprose wedding. And while I usually prefer my K dramas one and done, since season 2 was so good I would definitely watch season 3.
They wouldn't do this shit twice in one season... would they? I bet he is the one who got shot though :/ No way he's dead. I'm not surprised who Dex turned out to be but interested in how it'll play out.
