Budget KinnPorsche
It's budget KinnPorsche, not entierly the same plot, but with many similarities just in a smaller not as well produced manner. At first a was having a real good time despite the no so great quality there was something quite entertaining about this series.For a hero or in this case anti-hero to be truly admirable his opponents have to be grander and more powerful than they are and the villains in this story delivered every time, they're much more powerful, calculating, meticulous and ruthless which makes you want to root for Pheem. Although it's a revenge drama mostly action driven it's got some really good comedy moments thrown in. The fight choreography was pretty O.k, the gun fights on the other hand were bad to the point that I giggled every time a gun was fired.
I was having a good time I truly was until episode 7 I wad driven mad by rage and don't even want to know how it ends, I was rooting for that little maniac, making ecuses for him but he lost me, I cannot forgive him and I do not want Than to forgive him either so, I quit, I'm out . I loved Offroad in this villainous manly role and I would love to see him as THE Villain in something better or another anti-hero that I could actually root for.
I think might go rewatch Century of Love, the only series staring this two that's actually worth watching to see if it helps me forget this crap exists.

I am forcing myself to watch
I think I am being hasty, dropping it so early but, I'm literally forcing myself to watch solely because I like the cast so much but, they're not doing a good job of keeping my interest.I have watched plenty of Gumiho dramas in the past and loved all of them. The quirky mischievous kangchi in Gu family book, Sweet, innocent and childnlike Gumiho in My girlfriend is a gumiho, elegant gentleman Shin wooyeo in my roomate is a gumiho, and the best in my opinion Tale of the nine tailed 1 and 2 gave us all sorts of Gumihos and creatures alike, some a little evil, some not so much...but the Gumiho in this drama is insufferable, she's selfish, rude, childish and an absolute pain to watch, to make matters worse she's played by Kim hye yoon! for gods sakes!! Do you know how bad a character has to be to make Hyeyoon unbearable to watch??? Bad, god awful bad!! I cannot stand Eunho for one second, and I know I understand she's traumatized , she's got issues that make behave this way and she's the main character so she's bound to develop, but I don't have the patience to wait, I can't.
Maybe if by the time it finishes airing I hear that it got better I could give it another chance but for now, it's just upsetting me.

Beautiful delinquents
After being disappointed by other recent series with insanely high ratings I was a little scared to start this one but, boy I'm glad I did.I started yesterday and within the first 5 minutes I already knew I was going to like it. I'm 7 episodes in and I might sacrifice sleep tonight because I can't stop, I need to know more.
I assume that at some point Shin is going to forgive Saint and I'll be happy when he does but , If he doesn't Wouldn't be mad, it wasn't a misunderstanding or a mistake nor was he forced to do it, He did it because He want it to because He is that selfish and although He shows remorse and seems to really love Shin, Does he really deserve forgiveness?We'll see...
Also it says Bromance, but, Aren't all bromances just a little bit gay?
Did I end the first half of my review by saying that this was a bromance with a little gay in it??
Because no it is not it love 100% without any doubts these two boys are madly in love with each other and it's so satisfying to watch.
"I'm not mad at you because you broke my leg, I'm hurt because you chose to walk away"...just one of my favorite lines in this show.
Beautiful delinquents is what I chose to name tittle this review, because it's the first impression I got, it's a school full of troubled kids all of them ridiculously good looking it reminded me of when I was 13-14 and turned on the tv to watch Dawson's creek and Buffy (yes I am that old). And it's that nostalgia that first got to me but then I stayed for the story, The characters are all so good I fell in love with all of them.
I watched all 16 episodes without skipping anything, eyes glued to the screen with a big smile on my face.
The only reason I am not giving this show a 10/10 review is because it dragged a bit towards the middle, they kept having the same fight over and over between Shin and Saint, same discussion same outcome every time, insteadbof that I would've preferred to see more of the supporting characters as I said they were all so good, the actors did an amazing job so it's a shame that they didn't get enough screen time. Also we're told that Saint used to be this vicious bully but aside from that one flashback we really didn't get to see him be that horrible person, I would've liked to see a bit more of that in the past to contrast to this sweet puppy faced dummy that we're seeing in the present.
The twins shone here it's the best I've seen of them up until now and I would absolutely love in the future to see either one of them, but preferably both play a main antagonist like the big bad irredeemable people that we can't help Bute hate. I am a 100% sure they would nail a part like that.
In conclusion this show is absolutely amazing I loved it and I would recommend it to people and I will rewatch a bunch of times.

I desperately wanted to like this
I love this cast so much!! Lee Jongsuk is one of my OG korean crushes and whenever I see Moon Kayoung I can't help but smile, she's just so adorable!! I love that Kang you Seok is getting more main roles and everyone else including the guest casts are people that I enjoy watching a lot.so regardless of the plot I was going to watch this, but, I don't know what I was expecting, but this surely isn't it. It's not exactly boring but it's not exciting either, the characters interactions are great I really like how they're getting along but there's still something missing. I completely lost interest midway through the second episode and I don't know if I want to continue watching to see the progress of the story or because I am biased by the casting.
I will come back once more episodes air, maybe I will get into the story then, but for now it's very mid and I don't think Moon kayoung and Lee Jongsuk make a convincing couple if that's where the story is going. I do hope they prove me wrong though.

Why did I even doubt!?
At first I wasn't interested in this drama, I thought the plot was boring and cliché but I am obsessed with Park Boyoung so I gave it a chance.This series is so beautifully written Park Boyoung is stellar in this double role both twins have very distinct personalities and are totally different from each other, the younger actress is also wonderful I am loving her performance.
I cried like an idiot in the first episode got so invested in the story by the second I am so excited to see the rest.
An update, while watching episode 5 I am getting annoyed with the switch, it's son unfair that Hosu still doesn't know and I hate how Miji is playing with his feelings, he's cool and he actually called it she should've told him already and I am sure 100% that he would be more helpful if he knew the twins were switched. I truly hope that he either figures it out when he sees Mirae as Miji or the flat out tell him already. For this reason I am deducting a point, Miscommunication is one of my biggest pet peeves and I'm getting frustrated here.
Back after finishing episode 6. The anger I felt at the beginning of episode 5 has completely disappeared and turned into the dumbest smile, I'm so pleased we finally got here but I hated having to go through such frustration and uneasiness so I'm keeping the rating at a 9. I love this show so so so much!!!!
The ending was so nice! I loved it, the twins are great Hosu is a bit annoying but I still loved him and the Moms are perfect!!.This was a joy to watch, yes, there are some not so good parts, but it is still worth the watch.

Watch as blindly as possible!
I added this drama to my list about a year ago or so solely because Park Boyoung, if she's in it I'll watch, literally anything no matter what it is or what it's about. I knew this was based on a manhwa by the same author of Moving, another 10/10 series, and I planned to read tje source material, but I never did.I came into it confused, not really knowing what was going on, scared and anxious, pretty much like one of the characters in the series. Every thing about this series is absolutely perfect, the dialogue, lighting, sounds, ambience and the subtle foreshadowing kept my eyes glued to the screen the entire time.
My advice, watch with as little information about it as possible, pay close attention every single detail is important.
There's a post-credit scene in the final episode, be sure to watch. It's awesome!!

Insanely good!!
Twelve letters is one of the best series I've ever watched, I swear it's not an exaggeration! It truly deseves the high rating if anything it could be a little higher.The story grabbed my attention from the very first scene right up until the ending credits, no boring moments, no draggy unnecessary subplots just perfect story telling it starts with a mystry that slowy unravels and leads to another one and another one, never overwhelming never disappoiting. The fantasy element feels very grounded like it could actually happen and the caracheters are beautifully written I truly loved this one and the only reason I am giving it a 9.5 instead of a 10 it's out of pettiness I just wanted a teeny tiny more, just one more scene of them together yes I'm greedy I know it's perfect the way it is but still i long for just one more smile.
If you're still doubting, stop, and just wach it, trust me, it hurts, you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll scream at your screen and want to choke a couple of MFs, and you'll love every minute of it.

A second season has to happen, Right?!
I started this series with no expectations really and ended up absolutely loving it!It hooked me from the very beginning and Injsut kept clicking next until there was no more left and it left me wanting more. I devoured this show I just Finished it a few minutes ago and I'm already itching to start again, it was truly wonderful.
It felt expensive, it looked beautiful, from the gorgeous cast to the fabulous costume design, music, acting, everything was so so good!
All the carachters are so well written and acted, truly brilliant each and every one is flawed none of them are innocent little lambs but they're not all evil either except for Lukjan she was horrible and I hated her every second she was on screen, but that was the point, right? I wish we would've gotten some back story for her, but again maybe that was the point.
I'm not going to ramble on anymore, go watch this series if you haven't, it's really good.

A well done adaptation
This is a cute drama, very easy one time watch, the actors are gorgeous and the atmosphere is sweet.When I read the maga a while back, there were some things about the story that I didn't like and almost didn't continue reading it. But Hayakawa intrigued me, I needed to understand why he acted the way he did so I finished it despite the upsetting events.
I am so happy that this version changed those things thatI didn't like and other than that they stayed very true to the source material. I was left wanting more in both instances, the story feels incomplete somehow and also I expected the music to be better, as Hayakawa is described as such a great musician, but still it's sweet and worth the watch.
I don't think I would watch a second time, but I would recommend it to friends.

It's fun if you don't take it seriously
I originally watched this series while airing and although I enjoyed it I still thought it was dumb so I gave it a 5. After watching Jack and Joker recently and being utterly disappointed by how dumb the story I remembered this one and thought that 5 was to harsh because at least this one somewhat makes sense sometimes so I decided to re-watch and give it a better rating if needed.10 episodes into the re-watch I have to admit that 5 was generous enough. It's cute, with great scenery, good looking leads and great soundtrack. But all the plot holes and the bad acting make it a tough watch, especially the second time around.
I would recommend to watch this one if you have nothing else to do, just enjoy the silliness and the beauty of it. Also the special episodes are cute I recommend to watch them once your done with the series.
Em did I say the specials were good?? I was sure I had liked it the first time around, I had given them a 6 🤣 The specials are so so much worse, but again, pretty scenery beautiful boys, watch if you're bored, forget logic and enjoy the silliness.

Perfect 10 Liners.
This series is separated into 3 different stories that As of episode 9 seemingly have little to no connection so I'll review it as 3 mini dramas.Arm/Arc 6.0
Cute boy dumb goes to college catches they eye of handsome older peer, they fight, they tease each other they fall in love. It had some pretty hilarious moments, mostly cute and fluffy nothing exciting nothing new. It's Force/Book doing the exact same as always. As dumb as it was I still enjoyed it so I'll be generous and rate it a 6.
GMMTV please give us the character dynamics they had in Enchante' with an actually watchable plot, it can't be that hard.
Yotha/Gun 7.0
Casting Junior as Perth's younger brother was a choice...It would've been more beleivable the other way around, just saying.
At first I was like "Oh is this a Between us situation?" and then it was more of the same, dumb cutie and tough cool guy blah blah blah Yotha might be just a tad more of a hot head than Arc was and I didn't think it was possible but gun is even dumber and more childish than Arm.More of the same, I'm kinda over it but then I guess I'm not 'cause I'm still clicking next and OMG, he does look like a Beagle puppy so adorable, cute, helpless and dumber than a bag of hammers please God protect this child from all evil! I'm loving it and smiling the whole time.
Notice how I didn't mention the second couple on the Arm/Arc story? We'll that's because I didn't really care for them and found them unnecessary; The second couple this time does feel like part of the plot but man they're so toxic I hated Klao so much and I hated that Warit kept taking him back, I hope that by the end the break up they're not a good couple at all.
There's not enough Po in this series, please more Po, He cracks me up every single time.
Faifa/wine 7.0
Easily the best couple, I love how their relationship developed and that there's no whiny childish boy to uptight mean character in this pairing instead we got the sweetest most adorable duo. Faifa is so nice way too kind for his own good and wine is there to make him come to his senses, it's ok to say no sometimes.
The whole ordeal with Faifa's mother really didn't do it for me and made me take breaks between episodes because I kept losing focus.
The last episode wasn't good at all for me, the worst couple the one that I was rooting against got engaged??!! what why!!! ???? I hated that.
Luckily I got Po to make me laugh otherwise I think I would've skipped the whole episode.
Funny enough the couple that I was more excited to watch was the most underwhelming. Faifa and wine were the best and I would love to see them in their own series sometime soon.
At the end of the day Perfect 10 liners is an Ok drama nothing new or exciting but still sweet enough to make you smile the whole way through.

I can't stand Night.
I really wanted to like this but I can't anymore I have watched 5 episodes and can't find a lick of sense in the story everyone's acting except Gun is atrocious, Pond has never been more stiff and Dew just can't pull of the cool silent type.I was looking forward to this because the premise seems so interesting and I am sure that with the right script and casting it could've but as it is this is a total mess and an absolute waste of Gun's talent. I did my best to bear with it and watch the whole thing through but I can't stand Night he's so unreasonably god!! yes I understand why he acts the way he does but he's too much poor Dream is so sweet and he treats her so badly I can't with him anymore.

I Don't Know...
I've only watched 2 episodes and I don't know if I want to keep watching. It's probably on me for not watching trailers or reading the description, I saw Jisoo and most of my pretend boyfriends in a Rom-Com and I thought that'd be cute, I assumed she'd be actually dating all of them so when I realized it's VR I was already dissapointed.I can't say much about the plot since I only watched 2 out of 10 episodes, but it's so boring, and honestly not good, from what I've seen this woman is going to get addicted to A.I men and completley ignore the flesh and blood hunk she has in front of her, to then finally realize he's the one and live happily ever after. I wish at least that she'd have more interacctions with him, she probably will but, i don't know if I have the patience. I am tempted to watch solely because the next boyfriend is Seo Kangjoon, I'm not invested in the story at all. Also I don't know if it's my T.V settings or if it's the drama, but every time she goes into the V.R it gets too bright, I kept having to adjust the brightness I started with the birghtness at 52% and ended at 25%. it might be my T.V or some weird editing choice, a combination of both I'm not sure, but it's so annoying.
After reading through the comments and reviews of people who actually finished this, I've decided to drop it, I really wanted to see all the hunky men, but, it's not worth it.

It's Garbage.
Kim Sejong, Kang Taeoh and a body swap that hasn't happened yet brought me here and almost lost me in the first episode, I thought it was a bit boring with forced comedy, the weak attempt to hide the fact that the merchant and the princess are the same person is so badly done that it was insulting when the reveal came at the end of the episode. Where we supposed to be surprised?The second episode was better, it held my attention and made me curious to see where the story will go. The comedy doesn't always land but when it does it's hilarious and it's mostly because Kim Sejong is a master comedian.
I can't really decide yet if this is going to be just OK, if t'll rise to be one of the really good ones or if it'll drop to the bottom of the garbage pile. I am intrigued though so I will be watching next week and I expect a body swap!!
17 minutes into episode 4 and my patience has reached it's limit. I have a very high tolerance for stupid as long as it's entertaining, this is absurd and I didn't even get to the body swap part, I can't even imagine how stupid that will be. I really wanted to stay because I like the actors, but this is embarrassingly bad.

The ratings on this site are a joke.
The people here with the low ratings,🤦🏻♀️wow!!I'll be honest I've watched the first episode and some of the second episode and even though I didn't end up liking it enough to continue I find it's just plain evil to ratr it so low! it's a good show with a solid cast, I was expecting a Scrubs kind of humor and that's why I didn't like it. It's a medical show with some humor thrown in as opposed to a comedic show that happens to be centered around a hospital. MDL should just stop allowing to rate shows before they've done. If you like medical dramas give it a chance if you're looking for goofy humor this might not be it for you.
I for now will be placing it on hold and maybe get back to it later.
