My Purple Skies

It could've been amazing.

I am writing this review with 15 out of 16 episodes watched because, I needed a break and needed to vent a little. Besides, I highly doubt watching the end is going to change my mind about this train wreck of a drama.

How is it that I went from being anxious for the weekend to come so I could watch this to literally forcing myself to finish? It was so freaking good when it started!! Those first two episodes were perfect!!! the fight scenes are so cool, the characters so likeable and my god The villain is beyond cool!! I saw another reviewer complain about him, something along the lines of " how can such a small man be so menacing" and that's actually the point, a small frail looking man that holds so much power that no one dares to touch him. Oh Jungse is a wonderful actor, an actor so brilliant that even in the worst of scripts he will turn out a 10/10 Characterization and Good boy is an excellent example of his brilliance.

The story just started unraveling and going nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

Dongju is annoyingly stupid and stubborn to the point that if he were a real person he would've died a long time ago! god if he weren't so pretty I'd slap him!

I am going to finish this disaster only because I need to see the captain survive this, I need to look at Bogum's smile a little longer and enjoy the wonderfuly played villain that is being wasted here. Also it's not that I don't like the romance plot,but, it would've been better without, not every story needs a romance plot and this one would've been far cooler if ot were just action comedy centered.

OK, so I finished it, the final episode was fun, I laughed a lot and really enjoyed the fighting scenes. If only they had done 8-10 episodes and cut the romance plot this would've easily been a 10 as it is I think a 6 is more than fair.

The younger version is better

I was going to wait to binge this one, but boredom got to me and without even noticing I had watched two episodes. I am sensing that I might regret starting before all episodes are out.

I see other reviewers complaining about the adult versions being too childish and although I understand that can be annoying I usually don't mind it as long as it's no too exaggerated.

I do agree that the younger version is much better. Both couples have good chemistry and nice banter but it's funnier and more natural with the teenagers, I kinda wish that the story was set in that time period even though I do enjoy the adults too.

One thing that I don't like and it's quite common in these kdramas is that the the younger actors don't resemble the older actors, it makes the story feel disjointed as If we're watching two different couples instead of the same couple in two different time periods.

An update 5 episodes in, Cha Jihye is the worst 😫 I hate her and they better cut off ties with her by the end of the drama or I'll be livid!! also When if ever writes are going to learn that if the conflict can be resolved by having a simple conversation is not a conflict it's an annoyance!!???!! They had a much better conflict right there, the family feud, that should've been the reason or literally anything else that didn't involve a stupid misunderstanding.

I continued watching up to episode 10. I was planning to watch the last two episodes today, but, I kinda don't want to anymore. I'm so upset that they're still friends with Cha Jihye and episode 10 was so boring I skipped most scenes that didn't include the leads.

I might come back and skip through the last two episodes but I doubt it, it started fun but later became boring, predictable and frustrating.

It's like a warm hug.

I really wasn't expecting this series to be this good, I'm surprised that I'm enjoying it so much. It's simple yet enjoyable.

Sunwoo Hae is such an awesome character, He's been through so much hardship at such a young age and yet he's so sweet and caring I truly love this man.

Seong Jeyeon is too cute for words truly Sunwo's perfect match.

Taerin is hilarious! every single scene she's in is a joy to watch, especially the bickering with Sunwoo.

Kim Seokju is the best characters with the best personality and is bot getting enough screen time.

I'm loving this series more and more with each episode and I hope to god that it doesn't go downhill at the end.🤞🏼

I'm not even done with episode 5 yet, but I had come and update. This drama gives me the giggles times a thousand!!! I'm loving it so so much. Please I'm begging 🙏🏼 don't let this one be another "Uncontrollably fond" It's been almost ten years and I'm still not over it.

Also I'm in love with kim Seokju.

I hastily came and updated my review halfway through episode 5 last week maybe in the hopes that maybe if I wrote it down the sad ending leering it's ugly head around the corner wouldn't come, now 8 episodes in there's no denying it.

I see the rating has been rather low throughout these past 8 episodes and I can't disagree even though I wish I could I am enjoying it much but I understand how others wouldn't. The storyline isn't the most original, we can pretty much forsee what's going to happen and although listed as mains Kim Seokju and Mo Taerin are barely in the story, so much so that it wouldn't make much of a difference if they weren't included at all; A total shame because they are absolutely adorable.

I initially compared this drama to a warm hug and I still believe it so, It's that warm comforting hug you never want to end because you know that when it does you can never go back. I as a sucker that would dive in head first into guaranteed heartbreak knowing all to well how badly it hurts, plan on seeing this through.

I will come back once all 12 episodes have aired to adjust my rating accordingly as I'm aware that I have overrated it so far.

Also, I'm even more in love with Kim Seokju.

I'm back after watching the finale, still madly in love with Seokju and upset that he and Mo Taerin didn't get the screen time they deserved.

I've been watching Kdramas for about 15 years now so I'm used to being underwhelmed by the ending, this was no exception and even more due to the fact that the final 2 episodes were split.

I don't want to give spoilers, I'll just say that, the drama was sweet all the way through but with no surprises simple comfort and a so so storyline and extremelyboringlast episode. I would recommend as a one time watch with the warning that it's very predictable and I doubt that I'd rewatch abd if I do it would be just to skip to Kim Seokju and Mo Tarein Scenes.

Sun isn't the jerk here, Sairung's father is.

I'm not really sure how to rate this series, I did sit through all 12 episodes in one sitting, no pauses, no breaks I just sat and watched, so I can't say I completely hated it in fact I did enjoy some of it.

Sadly although an easy watch, this series makes very little sense starting from the fact that the plot consists of a girl who's suffered such trauma after her mother's passing that has caused her to develop 5 distinct personalities so her father has the genius idea to hire a jerk who's main source of income comes from tricking women into falling for him only to then mercilessly break their hearts, a job he's quite proud of and enjoys maybe too much. What kind of father would do such a heinous thing to their own daughter and why?? According to him if all 5 personalities fall for the same man they'll merge into one and all of his daughter's issues will go away. Whatt??? How!!!!??? Where did he get such a stupid idea from? What is he basing this tactic on? Not even he knows!! Father of the year right here. And I'm not even going to get into episode look, 11 I don't know anything about psychology but I can assure that that is not how DID works.

The good things, the things I stayed sat though 12 episodesof nonsense, The main actress Mind, gorgeous woman btw, did a great job portraying the 5 personalities, each had their own style, speech pattern and mannerisms to the point that one could easily tell who was on screen. Nanon who I usually associate with soft baby girl type characters that cpuld do no wrong did make this jerk heartbreaker jackass come to life, I kind of wanted to slap him a couple times and smiled ear to ear when eventually he did get slapped.

The rest of the cast was cute and they made what was a total mess enjoyable but at the end of the day it's a really dumb series that doesn't have much of a story.

If you're watching this waiting for it to make sense, don't bother but if you're a Nanon fan and want something to pass the time you might like this.

I'm rating it a 5 trust me it's not good but not entierly bad either.

Stunning cinematography

This movie is absolutely gorgeous from the opening scene in Bolivia to the close-ups of fujishiro's face, every single shot is perfect.

However, the story is absolutely confusing, boring and depressing. I couldn't understand why Fujishiro and Yayoi were together, it just didn't make sense at all. And then the flashbacks with Haru, Did she always know she was sick? Or was it something she discovered while traveling? Maybe that's why the father was so creepy, I have many questions and a lot of confusion but, I am not curious enough to keep watching I completely lost interest in the story once Haru's and Yayoi's friendship was revealed and to be honest I only got that far because I got desperate and skipped a few scenes.

It's a shame because Satoh Takeru is good, but the two leading actresses were not at all convincing in their roles, maybe if they were better I would've stuck to the end.

Don't waste your time

I don't know how ot happened but I started this with zero expectations and still ended up disappointed.

The first season of Squid Game was one of the best ever it was near perfect and it would've had they not continued the story.

Season 2 introduced a very interesting cast of Characters it was funny and seemed to have some potential, but then, nothing happened most of the runtime wasted on pointless conversations and repetitive voting scenes, I kept waiting for the fun games to start and then it ended and nothing really happened.

I only watched season 3 because I didn't want to leave the series unfinished but maybe I should have, 6 hours of my life wasted nothing to show for it, the ending left me feeling empty, unsatisfied and angry. Such aa great cast and one of the worst storyline I ever sat through.

Please if you haven't watched this season yet, just don't,you won't be missing anything.

Disappointing

I've wanted to watch the original movie Les émotifs anonymes for a while but, I couldn't find it in any streaming service in my region so when I saw there was a Japanese adaptation starring Han Hyojoo I was psyched!!!

The first couple episodes were interesting, cute and funfy.nThe actors are great in their roles and the chocolate looks absolutely divine, but I don't know, for me, there's something missing, I can't even explain why but somewhere along the way I got bored and struggled to focus and couldn'twait for it to be over already. The ending was cute but not enough to ease the feeling of disappointment it gave me.

Maybe it's me, maybe I expected too much,but it was just fine, not good, not bad, not something I would recommend or ever watch again.

Edit.

I was able to watch the movie and liked it so much better, the story is simpler and quirky, so if like me you thought this series was lacking a little something, give the movie a chance if you haven't.

It grossed me out.

I put this one on my watchlist just because it starred Jung Subin and I regret it. I think he's so freaking adorable but this series made me want to punch him hard in the face.

Why do most BL series insist in having one manly man and another man so delicate he could easily be replaced with a woman or a child and make no difference? Truly these 3 men deserve jail or need therapy or both.

Yoo Do Ha who on many instances claims to be a 27 year old grown ass man sounds, looks and behaves like a 5 year old yet somehow for some reason he has 3 men interested in him.

Taek Gyeong, childhood best friend who's been in love with him forever, acts like a mad dog around him, seriously terrifying.

Haram, Café owner clingy, slimy and sleezy gives me the creeps just following Doha around practically stalking him.

Yeon San former coworker handsome plank of wood.

I watched the entire series and I have no idea why they liked Doha, Why and when Doha liked the person he chose, it's obvious who he chose I don't have to say it and you don't have to watch it to know. All 3 choices were bad but, chose the absolute worst, Doha dear, I know he's got a cute smile, but that doesn't erase his horrible awful toxic personality.

8 episodes of nothing really, some beautiful shots here and there, cute boys to look at, but absolutely not worth watching.

It's freaking cute, but overrated.

My magic prophecy is just the same old story GMMTV keeps recycling and we like idiots keep eating up. The recycle the same formula over and over again sometimes with some exceptions (Not me, Last twilight, A tale of a thousand stars to mentiona few) it's fine, others it's watchable and most it's garbage.

This one falls under the just fine category, I mean I could tell who the bad guy was from the very first frame he was in they made so little effort to hide his deviousness that I was kinda hoping it was a misdirect, but no, the writters are way to lazy for that and wouldn't want to taint their next ship by having one of them be evil.

Imagine for a moment that instead of the dude that never stopped giving evil vibes the entier time hi was on screen it was the one with the constantly worried puppy expression on his face, the guy that most likely cry his eyes out over stepping on a bug on his way to work. I mean he had the cop guy wrapped around his finger the entire time so much so that I think he could've tricked him into helping if he wanted to. Would it be surprising? Not really, but, I would've liked it better.

Did I sit and watch the entire series in one sitting with a dumb smile so big that my cheeks hurt? Yep I did, however, this is not deserving of an 8.7 rating let's be honest people, not just for the stupid villain with even stupider motives but many more flaws that I'm too lazy to list. It's freaking cute, though so I would recommend a friend to watch with the fair warning that it's cuteness far outweighs it's quality.

If i find myself bored one day and want to enjoy some fluffy cuteness I'd watch again. sure.

It started as the best...

I wasn't interested at first I thought it was going to be a boring drama about greedy old men fighting for money and Park Hyunsik wasn't enough of an incentive to sit through that. I got curious though and watched the first 4 episodes in one go.

I got excited and came here praising the the drama, it was thrilling, dark l, twisted and with a fiery romance thrown in. Park Hyunsik's acting is amazing in this drama He's looking more beautiful than ever and each episode leaves you wanting more and twist after twist came and it became one of those tropey Telenovelas I grew up watching with my mom. The best character died and we were left with uninteresting villains and a mess of a plot.

My fears about this drama came true, it was the best of the ongoing for me (who at the time hadn't started When life gives you tangerines.) but it crumbled as the story progressed to the point that I'm dropping halfway through episode 15 without Ildo the drama has become the boring story of greedy old men I wasn't interested I'm watching to start with, the romance has been ruined by the distasteful they're siblings but not really though twist and besides Dongju and maybe Taeyun I just don't care about anything else.

The best acting role of Park Hyunsik in a meh storyline unfortunately. I leave this drama disappointed and hoping for a Hyunsik villain role in the future.

I shouldn't be mad...

I willingly watched this one, no one forced me, I knew it was going to be garbage but I wanted to watch Boun and Prem again, but, Why am I so mad when it indeed turn out to be garbage? I truly cannot answer that.

Maybe because I did enjoy the first 2 episodes, I thought "Oh! so it's a parody? How much fun!...slowly to realize they meant it they meant this, whatever this disaster is to be serious. Is it comedy? Is it romance?Action? I sure even the writters can't tell. I had had it by episode 6 and started skipping scenes like crazy because I really did want to see it through, but I just can't there's no saving it and I couldn't possibly care less how it ends.

No judgment on those who did like it though.

It's a good show but, It's overrated

How much you like and actor shouldn't be the reason you give their work high ratings.

This is my opinion and it's perfectly Okay to disagree. This show is not as good as people a claiming it is. It really isn't funny not one bit (Except for that one Mjolnir joke, that one still makes me chuckle) It's not scary either, but that's expected, it's available for free on YouTube. I'm not going to go into much detail because I don't want to be too negative, just because I didn't like certain things it doesn't mean it's bad it's just that it's not as good as the ratings may lead tou to think it is.

Yes it has heart touching stories, Episodes 4,7 and 8 being the best, But the first 3 episodes at least for me were so bad I almost dropped this and the only reason I didn't was because I love Tay, New and Jan so much. I was going to drop halfway through episode 2 but was encouraged to continue by 4 different people on here and I am so happy that were really nice about it and made me curious enough to continue. My favorite part has to be the ending credits, starting at episode 3 or 4 the credits show how their friendship is evolving and it's so wholesome, I loved that.

This is a good show as I said, but let's be honest If it started unknown actors would you really had rated it so highly??

I would recommend this show but with the warning to keep expectations low and bear with the bad comedy because it's a cute show.

Disney keeps disappointing me.

I wasn't expecting this to be so dark and I'm so excited for the next episodes, I wish I had waited for the whole thing to air.

Park Eunbin went from playing Innocent Doe eyed Lawyer in her previous drama to unhinged psychopath Doctor in this one two completely different personalities and she played them perfectly.

when I saw this upcoming drama starring Park Eunbin and Sul Kyunggu and didn't bother to read anything else I just added it to my watchlist without a thought, so when I saw Yoon Chanyoung pop up I was so surprised! I love the dynamic between Jung Seok and Yeonju so much, His constant stressing about who's she's going to kill next is hilarious, poor kid he's doomed.

For me these first 2 episodes were a blast I have no complaints at all 10/10 fabulous start to the series I hope it continues on this track.

My opinion agter having finished Hyper knife is that although they fumbled a bit, it's still worth the watch.

The twisted relationship between Jung Seok and Choi Dokhee makes it worth it a 100 times over. They hate each other, need each other, Yet they are the same. They make the show they are the show even if it goes onto the illogical route you get so into these two characters that you can't really care about the rest. I wish it had a better ending though.

And Yeonju is adorable start to finish the cutest most reliable person I am glad such character was added otherwise the plot might have been way to stressful to sit through.

Armin, The worst time traveler of all time.

I initially thought this was an adaptation of a webtoon that I read a couple years back (Again by Seojin, the plot is pretty close to this one and it's really good). It turned out it wasn't but it still peaked my interest.

Here I sit binging and breezing through what is a very entertaining show and although it's good I have to write down some thoughts, some minor inconveniences that have been bothering me and why I'm not giving this show a 10/10.

1. The first episode problem, the older versions were really bad, they didn't look late forties, maybe fifties that the characters were supposed to be, so when Armin went back all the way to 1999 looking exactly the same as he did in 2025 I was seriously confused. Also aside from the lack of social media and smart phones everything looks pretty much the same, costume wise and sets it's all too modern, I wish more attention to details were present whilst filming this series.

2.The Armin problem, this man has got to be the dumbest most annoying time traveler of all time!! by god he won't shut up about the future, fights people about thing that haven't happened yet and when the time comes to say something he won't??!! make it make sense. This is usually played for laughs on time travel stories but eventually the time traveler knows to just shut it, consequences, butterfly effect and whatnot. Does Armin care or even think about consequences nope, he just keeps yapping and it gets old pretty quickly. I'm not going to get into it about the hair, but stylist please!! this actor has luscious hair, just stop messing with it!!!

3.The Tada problem, first of, why is this man's name a sound effect??, Is he a magic trick!?? I just can't help myself and every time he shows up or is mentioned in my head I go "Tadaaaaah" probably the reason why I'm having so much fun watching it to be honest, but it's unfair that such a beautiful man has to carry that ridiculous name 🤣. On a more serious note I don't trust him especially after Narin showed up, Is that boy even legal?? just Yuck!!! and even after explaining himself and knowing the reason why he loves (more like obsesses over) Armin there's something off about the character's actions,like he shows up out of nowhere everywhere Armin is like magic, puff, tadah!! ( I told you I can't help myself) he seems too creepy this might be because I'm not done watching and there's still something he's not saying 🤷‍♀️ I suspect he might also be a time traveler maybe although all signs point to no, he's just creepy and weird.

4. The Thiwthit problem, Oh My god Bom is sooo bad in this!!!, I adored him on In I will knock you, he fit that character perfectly, but in this show this villain is portrayed so badly every word he says, how he walks those exaggerated expressions, it's like he based the character on the worst cartoon villain he could think of, just bad all around throwing temper tantrums that even a two year old would be embarrased by. The only times I've tolerated him have been when he had that one conversation with Ren at the bar that scene was really good, maybe because of First, who is playing the villainous role so well that I wish he were cast as Thiwthit instead. And that other time when he approached Tada. Probably not entierly his fault, I mean the directot probably okayed this, maybe it was all they could get out him, I can't say for sure but his acting is a mayor hindrance on the quality of this series.


I'm rambling on too much, I'll stop here for now and come back when I have finished the series.

Welp!! I finished it and enjoyed a lot despite all my grievances it is a really good show and the ending was beautiful although the explanation about what happened to Armin in his previous life doesn't make any sense and they had plenty of time to come up with something better so, no excuses!!

I never stopped doubting Tada (Tadaaah!!), I wish maybe his character was better explained or have it happen sooner than it did. I never understood the deal with Narin because although a bit shady, Tada (Tadaaaaahh!!) doesn't seem like the type who would do such a thing, besides as hot and rich as he is he really doesn't need to either. I adored Armin thank God they stop messing with his hair!! (right after I wrote about it, it's like the universe heard me) the man never shut up about the future but he still grew on me.

By the end coming back to 2025 and everyone still looking the exact same, the only explanation I can find to this is that this is an alternate reality where people are just young and beautiful forever, maybe? 🤷‍♀️ I don't know, it's fantasy literally anything can happen.I had maybe a little too much fun watching and laughing so hard at thing that weren't supposed to be funny that I wish I could rate it higher really but, as I listed before there were some things lacking therefore I rated it a
6.0/10

I adjusted my rating as a kind friend pointed out that my rating wa to high in comparison to my notes. Which is true, I did and I still am due to how fun it was to watch. It is worth watching because it's so dumb it's fun, not because of quality.
