My Purple Skies

Watch this for Choo Young Woo

I started this drama with literally zero expectations. At first I thought it was just going to be one of those over the top silly no plot dramas that you just shut your brain off and ignore incosistencies because it is just that fun to watch and it is pretty fun it's getting better and better as each week.

Choo Young Woo was what mainly drew me here, I think it's ood that he keeps getting cast as a teenager when he doesn't look like one, plus he's so much better at villain roles, so much better. The drama is so fun that I don't mind that he looks older than his peers. Right off the first episode my second male lead syndrome hit me hard!! like girl I know Gyeonu is handsome but, look at Jiho for god sakes, the dude is perfect!!. I said that Choo Young Woo is better at Villain roles and this week's episodes have made me so happy, possessed Bae gyeonu is absolutely hilarious! I am loving every second of it even though I know I'mnot going to like the ending very much and I'm pretty sure I'm going to rewatch the whole thing once the remaining episodes air.

I've finished the series and I think it was an overall good story, with a few hiccups here and there, Episode 10 was a total disaster, 11 was weird and 12 while not being the most logical wrapped up everything nicely so I can't really complain much, it's about ghosts and magic it's not grounded in reality to begin with.

My second male lead syndrome still stands strong with this one, but I still enjoyed the ending. I'm definitely going to watch it again and soon.

It should've been a movie.

when I first saw news of this drama starring Got7's Park Jinyoung based on a webtoon by Kang full I was so excited, no need to know anything else I just sat and waited.

First two episodes were slow, boring and nor much happened, but I thought, it's an introduction it's bound to pick up in upcoming episodes.

Episodes 3-4 nothing really happened, we just sat watching a man creepily stalking an innocent woman. 4 episodes in and they haven't met?!! I get it, He meets her, he dies, but still!.

Episodes 5-6 came out and I skipped I thought I needed a break. Episodes 7-8 came out and I still wasn't feeling it. I thought I was dropping it, But I was still curious, it's Kang full, his stories are really good so there's got to be something here.

Episode 5 was draggy and as I was watching episode 6 I thought of taking another break, but then that ending! Finally it happened!!!

Episodes 7 and 8 were actually thrilling, my eyes were glued to the T.V totally immersed in the story, I felt anxious, I was worried and excitedfor the next scene to happen (it remindsof final destinationa bit). I am actually looking forward to the final two episodes this weekend.

I am rating it a 7 for now, depending on the ending it might go down I couldn't possibly rate it any higher because of how slow it is no matter how good the ending could be.

This would've been so much better as a movie or a 4 episode miniseries tops.

I know there's a Chinese movie adaptation out there, if anyone knows where I can find it please let me know, same with the original webtoon I can't find it anywhere if you know, please share it with me.

I have finished the series and adjusted my rating down to a 6 which I think is more than fair.

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with a Kang Full story, that man is a freaking genius. Wher this series failed is in the way they adapted this brilliant story the pacing was way to slow one shouldn't have to sit through 6 boring episodes for the thrill to finally happen and the twist! wow I feel dumb not noticing it before it wa so good aand it would have benefitted the series to have revealed it earlier.

I do want to make clear the stalking aspect of this series as I just recently dropped the series The boy next world due to that very reason.

Dongjin is a stalker, he makes a point of it himself, however, he is doing it for a very good reason, he is madly in love with this woman and he is doing everything he can to make sure that she is happy. He at no moment is trying to force his love on her on the contrary he would've been perfectly content if what his face hadn't been a total jerk and broken the curse. The final episode was so weird it's not clear enough how or when she fell for him.

My favorite character Ho Eunsil, she was the best and we didn't have enough of her, I wish her and joonghyuks story weren't so rushed, because again, When did she fall for him exactly!?

In conclusion it's an excellent story wasted on horrible storytelling it took way too long to get to the point and when it did it felt unfinished, it is too long and too short at the same. It is a shame that most people won't have the patience to sit through it because although far fro perfect it's still very interesting.

Season two needs to happen soon!

This show is an absolute blast!!! it's dark, gory, suspenseful, thrilling and absolutely hilarious.

Seriously this show had no business being thia funny!! It's the kind of show that grabs your attention from the very first scene and just keeps getting better and better by the second.

I don't understand why it's not more popular really, we need to get more people to watch this it's gem that needs to get more recognition.

I understand this level of dark comedy is not for everyone, but if you do like the of quirky dark, gory, mysterious type shows you will love this one so give it a chance an recommend to your friends.

This made me sob!

Such a heart touching story told in just one hour. Every thing about was perfect, the actors did an excellent job I could feel every emotion portrayed by the sisters, Haneul seemed genuinely concerned and hurt by her sister's condition, and I could feel the love in the father's eyes just wonderful. I cried hard throughout last few scenes.

The music suited every scene and Kim Yang provided just the right amount of humor to an otherwise devastating story without making a mockery of such a serious matter.

I highly recommend, it's one of if not the best of these specials in my humble opinion.

This is surprisingly good!!

I have to admit that I was skeptical about this one, I really didn't see the need for a second adaptation. I only tuned in half out of curiosity and half out of admiration for Satoh Takeru's acting.

I have read the webtoon and watched most of the Korean adaptation which was pretty good until they decided to add an absolutely unnecessary character that annoyed me so much that I had to quit.

But this one, I might say, having watched all 6 currently available episodes, is better than the source material! and I expect it to get even better for the upcoming episodes.

The acting is great, the dialogue, the scenery and the slight changes make the story feel fresh for someone who's experiencing it for the 3rd time. I've always said that for a hero to worth rooting for an great villain is needed and and this girl playing reina is doing so good so wonderful it's a pleasure to watch her beautiful face change from sweet to venomous my favorite version of the character no doubt about it, while Misa is too nice for her own good she's not as dumb as she looks a really good hero to rooting for. I am really loving the wholes cast. and while it's a bit odd that the cat is now a turtle, but, I'll allow it and I am excited to watch the rest of the episodes.

I just finished the series and I loved it!! I read the webtoon, I watched the Kdrama and this Japanese version is the best!! I didn't think it could be possible but Reina is far more unhinged than Soomin!! I loved every second of her she's the perfect villain!

Just give this show a chance if you haven't, it is so worth it.

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.

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.

This drama is infuriating!!!

I started this drama with little to no expectations. At first I found it funny and cute, the first episode was really entertaining, Very handsome leads great chemistry, but as I continued to watch it got draggy and boring too much of the same and nothing really going on.

I thought about dropping it but the dimples man, those dimples kept me hooked so I stuck with it, I was really curious about why they stopped being friends and then episode 7 happened.

I finally got interesting again it drew me in completely and when the fallaout came I got so mad! You're telling me these two morons haven't talked in 10 years because such a stupid misunderstanding?!!! uhggg I am so mad I might not even watch episode 8.

Don't waste your time with this one, seriously! It's a shame too because these two actors are excellent together, I hope to see them again in something actually worth watching.

I caved, the dimples, I needed to see those dimples again. The final episode is beautiful, perfect!! I loved every single scene. If only the writers could've come up with a better conflict and not drag things so much it would've been one of those that makes you come back and rewatch again and again but, as it is I sat through it once and never again, not even for those adorable dimples.

Not a good story but if you're like really bored and have nothing else to do, I suggest to watch episodes 1,7 and 8. you won't miss anything important you'll save yourself hours of nonsense, the misunderstanding is stupid, there's no way around it but it's so insignificant that it's resolved in less than two minutes and from then on it's just fluffy cutness and dimples.

Devastating

I'm a Jeff Satur fan, so regardless of the plot or quality I was going to watch this movie. I only knew the gist of the plot and that it would be sad. I never expected it be this cruel, it's one of if not the saddest movie I ever watched in my entire life.

I finished watching it last night at 11:30 pm and today at 6:30 pm I still have a knot in my throat it was so sad, so unfair so cruel I haven't been able to cry yet but I feel as if I could at any moment, I am in total shock.

The cinematography was amazing, all shots were so beautiful and the acting was wonderful. All the actors did a great job my favorites being the two main leads.

Jeff totally blew my mind. The only other acting I've seen him do was in Kinnporsche and not only was I jot impressed but I really didn't like his character. But here, His character made me feel for him, every single scene from start to finish I was with him, I felt him, I was him.

England Waraha, It was my first time ever seeing her and wow I can't even explain how much I lo her! she played Mo so perfectly 👌 I hated her pretty much as soon as I saw her and hated her more and more with each and every act of selfishness she did every single thing she said and the way she said it. She was just awful,however, she had her reasons for being the way she was, the character isn't bad for the sake of being bad, she's that way because she's wounded her life hasn't been easy so her cunning evil ways are a product of that. I completely understand why she behaves the way she does, but I still loathe her and that is just the best kind of antagonist.

The mom was just a mean old lady, just a horrible person.

And jingna, he's adorable, I fell for him we all fell for him.

I don't want to give too many details about the plot but, I have to warn anyone who might be thinking of watching this,the ending was just too much, too painful, so much happens throughout the run of the movie, and then the ending hits so hard it hurts so much that I can't even put into words how I feel. It's an excellent movie regardless so it deserves to be recognized as such.

Laugh out loud fun!!

have to confess that I didn't have much interest in this movie, I watched the original and didn't like that much, the only reason I finished it it was because I like Greg Hsu so much and to be completely honest Biklkin and PP Krit were the sole reason I hit play when I saw this version show up on Netflix.

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this film!!it's so funny, I laughed beginning through end and beyond the credits. I specially loved that one post-credit scene, be sure to stay all the way through for that.

In my opinion if you liked Marry My Dead Body you're going to love The Red Envelope and If you didn't like Marry My Dead Body, check out this version, you might like it better.

unexpectedly good!

I didn't expect to like this one so much, but I loved it! I binged all 13 episodes in one sitting and didn't even notice the time go by.

It starts out a bit silly and there's a lot of cliché moments, silly antagonist, some uneven pacing of the story and I don't know if I just missed the explanation or it just wasn't clear enough, but I never understood why Shu He lives with Shao peng's family.

Putting those minor details aside it's such a fun watch, It's cute, wholesome, funny, touches on some realistic issues and deals with disabilities in a very respectful way.

The chemistry between the leads is absolutely perfect and the second couple is hilarious seriously I couldn't get enough of them. I might be overrating this one with a 9 out of 10 but I had so much fun watching that I just can't rate it any lower.

Excellent adaptation!!

The original "Hear me" is one of my all time faves, is one of those movies that instantly brings a smile to my face so when I saw news of it being remade I was equal parts scared and excited.

I am pleasantly surprised with this adaptation, they nade very few changes to the story and they were very well done.

The scene with the parents is pretty much the same as the original and I'm so glad it was left untouched because it's so funny!

Even though I am biased, I can admit that the Korean version of Hear me is almost just as good as the original Chinese version.

Is this a game of endurance??!!

Here's the thing, I don't mind a love triangle, I don't care for them but it doesn't stop me from enjoying a story but this drama is getting on my nerves!!! Minutes has got to be the most annoying characters I have ever had to tolerate she's just too much!! Why the heck does she behave this way? and even worse, Why the heck does Yunjae allow this behavior?!!! I seriously don't get it. Such a cute girl, she could have any man she wants and she so shamelessly throws herself at a taken one?!!!! and Yunjae dude, Where's your back bone?!!!

Is this the way it's written in the webtoon?? or is this just a challenge by the writters to see how much the audience will endure? Both, maybe??

The subject is so cool, and interesting but it's being ruined by this unnecessary drama!!! How cool would this story be if it were focused solely on the fact the Jieun changes into a man and how hard it is for Yunjae to accept the fact that he loves this person so much that gender doesn't matter?? It is, I see him slowly getting there and that's what I thought this story was going to be, but instead it's being overshadowed by the most nerve wracking, shameless, Homewreker wannabe in the world.

I'm not dropping, yet. I really like the cast, including Chuu, I had never seen her before and we all have to admit, she's doing her job really well, it's not her fault her character is so unlikeable. The genderswap story is what I came for and annoying as it's become with this girl thrown into the mix, I still want to see where it goes.

A little update ahead of the final two episodes, Minjoo will never not ve annoying but the series is so fun even with her in it I loved episodes 9 and 10 so much that I adjusted my rating and I'm really excited to watch the ending next week.

Well I finished it 🤷‍♀️ ....

The final episode was so underwhelming, I feel cheated, but really what was I expecting? Minjoo made the series unwatchable I stayed out of spite really. I did have fun, everyone did a great Job and I am happy I finished it. I'm being quite generous with a 6.0/10 rating as much as it annoyed me and how dumb ending was, it was an Ok Watch but,I would not put myself through this torture ever again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Nonsense

The only Good thing about this series is the great chemistry between the leads ans that's what kept me watching up yp halfway trhough episode 9 I really wanted to push through and finish it, but I just can't anymore I grew bored and tired of nothing actually happening. A total waste of talent, Mark has got to be one of the best if not the best actor currently working on GMMTV and it pains me to see that when they finally gave him the chance to lead a series they stuck him with this crappy script.

Mark and Ohm have realy good chemistry and I am sure they did the best they could with what they got, but wow this mess of a story s so bad that I actually got ecxited when Jimmy showed up despite hating love triangles. the bickering between Jimmy and Mark was really funny but even that went nowhere. Sant's mom sucks and shouldn't have been forgiven that easily. I can't say for sure because I just can't make myself anymore of this but I think one could watch the first episode skip to the last and not miss much of the story.

I hope to see this pair again in something with actual substance they deserve redemption.

Absolute perfection.

I have been meaning to write a review for this drama for a couple days now and quite frankly there's nothing I could say that hasn't been said by other reviewers already. It's sitting at a 9.3 rating as of the time of this review and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up.

When life gives you tangerines...Even the title is perfect. I started to watch on Wednesday and finished it on Friday and I kinda want to start over I loved so much.

The beautiful intro I couldn't bring myself to skip, The gorgeous Jeju scenery, the wardrobe and hairstyling through the eras was wonderful every single line of dialogue is precious. I laughed, cried, fell in love hated some some people, loved, laughed and I cried again. Just perfect from start to finish.

Everyone should watch this for sure!
