Wow, I didn't expect to like this drama sooo much! The supporting cast did a super well job! The leads were good…
Hee Joon and Yoon Young's son said that his father survived in one of the many alternatives of the past/future they created and that's why he was born. I guess that maybe, a lot of different alternatives exist, in which some people die and in others they don't. We saw how they managed to save some people in 1987, but others died, they changed a lot of things. And their son also said "every time you met, you fell in love", the leads departed once again to 1987 in ep 16, they've been there many times, they've tried to make everything right and save everyone, but they just changed everything over and over again. Go Mi Sook's behaviour was also very weird. Why did they show her with mud on her shoes in one of the earlier episodes and she told her husband that she had gone to her hometown to take care of something, they were obviously implying that she had killed Soon Ae. And that scene with her brother... what if in one of the alternatives she is the killer? When they showed Soon Ae as she was being killed, she obviously knew the killer. What if the killer was trying to finish off what he/she couldn't in 1987? And if Hee Joon's father was the killer all along, why would he kill his son in 2023? Because he discovered the truth? So what? That statue of limitations was long over, so he couldn't be put in jail and he said he had done everything in order to make Hae Joon happy, killing him off wouldn't make any sense. Yoon Yeon Woo's reasons for the murders weren't very convincing either. Too many questions with no answers that will haunt me, but oh well...
Wow, I didn't expect to like this drama sooo much! The supporting cast did a super well job! The leads were good too, especially Jin Ki Joo. Whoever did the casting of the younger and older versions seriously needs a raise! All actors were spot on! I'm so glad that Lee Won Jung and Seo Ji Hye got 'Best New Actor/Actress' at the KBS Awards, because they stole the show, they were amazing!!! And they should've won 'Best Couple' too. I really like time-travelling and there's just something special about the 80s. The first half of the drama was a bit more exciting, touching and interesting, but I still enjoyed the drama until the very end. This is definitely not for everyone, but it was my cup of tea, so I'm really glad I gave it a chance. Despite the plot holes and some unanswered questions, I'll always remember this show with good feelings. I also really liked liked the message of treasuring our parents and that we shouldn't act like we know everything and judge too hard. The father-daughter bickering in 1987 was simply priceless! What I'll always want to know however is... why was Yoon Hae Joon killed in the future? (spoilers) A solid 8,5/10 from me ~
I guess I just had way too high expectations for this drama... I usually don't watch ongoing dramas and wait for them to air, but I got interested in this one and started it when only 4 episodes were out and... it feels like that was years ago and that I've been watching it for ages. Considering the title is 'My DEMON', I really was expecting more of the demon part, while what we got is: 16 episodes of making Dohee suffer. They threw misfortunes in her face all the time and it just got boring. The first half of the drama was much better, but in general, it wasn't exciting and didn't surprise me much. I read a lot of comments on how they didn't like the leads together and that they had zero chemistry, but I actually did like them together, on and off screen. The comedy elements were done well, props to the supporting cast. The drama wasn't bad, but it was definitely not as good as I was hoping it to be. I can't give it more than 6,5-7 out of 10 ~ "Mr. Queen", which is done by the same writer is sooo much better!
He's amazing! Beyond Evil is basically his debut in the drama world and he did a splendid job, I hope he gets more recognition one day, he deserves it!
He was superb in My Perfect Stranger! I am waiting for the day when he gets a male main role! He's still very young, so I'm sure the time will come one day!
Most of my questions are hypothetical.1. Why was the old Soon Ae got killed? Did Yoon Yeon Woo (old) carry his…
1. That is also one of my biggest questions, as well as why HaeJoon got killed in 2022. As his son said, they created many alternatives of the past/present, so in one of them maybe the real killer wasn't caught and he somehow met Soon Ae in the future and decided to finish off what he couldn't in 1987.
2. Most-likely, once again different alternatives of the past/future.
3. They wouldn't know them, because they are "resetting" the past, it's like they went there for the first time and nobody knows them.
4. Hae Joon said that she simply wrote what she had seen, there wasn't much about the 3rd victim in her book, maybe she just assumend things, maybe Hae Gyeong was never one of the victims, we'll never know.
This was honestly... boring. They tried to build up something with the background of the characters, but it wasn't enough and what about Lee So Min? There was barely anything about her, I like IU as an actress, but this character was simply annoying. I'm sure everybody watched this for the 2 leads, but ended up being disappointed. I'm not a fan of football, but... I think what they were playing was far from that, they were going for the emotion, I get it, but still... I expected this to be funnier, but it was just ridiculous at times. I don't recommend this movie, even if you like IU and SeoJoon. I'm sorry, but I can't give it more than 5,5-6 out of 10.
Wow, I can't believe that he's been an actor for almost 30 years and that he still hasn't done any dramas! I suppose that's solely his decision, but I'm glad that he had a change of heart and that we're finally going to see him in the drama world too in 2024!
I know she focused mainly on music in the past few years and she did some movies, but I'm glad that she's going to have a comeback in the drama world, it's been almost 5 years since Hotel del Luna!
I don't know if I got it right, but... Joo Cheon Sook has something to do with the death of Dohee's parents, right? That's why she took her in to live with her and that scene in the shower when she was mumbling "I have to wash away all the sins.", she's far from innocent and I think the future episodes will focus on that, if they don't, well, that would be a pity.
This was a very pleasant surprise! I don't know where it came from, but I'm glad I somehow found it and watched it. It had the typical Japanese humor, which is sadly is notfor everyone, but the actors did a great job and with the number of episodes and duration, this wasn't draggy or boring at all. However, my biggest problem with Japanese drama will always be that they only show the part of getting together, well... when we root for a couple, we want to actually see them together (dating) for at least an episode, right?
I expected something different from this movie, I thought it would be focused more on a love triangle, but I'm glad it wasn't like that. It was truly about friendship, love and life. Sometimes close friends drift apart, there's no need for an argument or something, sometimes a misunderstanding can ruin it all. But most of all, I liked the part of the movie, which was about following your heart's desire. It's like that... don't live your parents' dreams, it's your life, not theirs even if they are the ones who gave ife to you. Great work from the two girls, 8,5/10 from me ~
This drama was... simply beautiful, the words that were spoken, written and signed... everything was beautiful. It's not for everyone and to those who have never watched Japanese dramas, this one can be slow or even called boring, because it's not that eventful, but what makes Japanese dramas so different, unique and alluring - they can make you emotional. The actors did a spectacular job at delivering the emotions, their acting was great, both from the mains and the supporting cast. Sadly, I don't think that most break-ups and new beginings can be as they were showed in the drama. It's definitely a comfort piece, a drama which can make you both happy and sad at the same time. A solid 8/10 from me ~
I was about to start this drama a few times, but gave up, I finally watched it and well... it was exactly what I expected. I definitely don't get the hype about it. I don't like how the relationship between Tharn and Type started, their trust issues are just wow. I am fan of soft tops and fierce bottoms, but here... Type was pretty much mean to Tharn many times and hurt him. Generally, I liked the chemistry between the leads and the drama could've been much better, but it just didn't do it for me, probably if I had watched in 2019, my opinion would've been different, but in 2023... there are way better BL dramas than this one. I don't regret watching it and it wasn't boring, but I can't give it more than 6/10. Also, the implication that gay people enjoy sleeping around... if I were part of the community, I would find those remarks offensive, I don't think sleeping around is related to sexuality, if a person loves doing that, he/she will just do it, that's it.
Korea has done it again, what a toxic society. Taking drugs (if that truly ever gets confirmed) is not a good thing, but he did no harm to others, only to himself, if it's such a big crime, let him face the legal punishment he deserves, but to drive a person to the corner like that and the only way out to be a suicide... it's just so wrong and sad. I feel so bad for his wife, kids, whole family and friends. In my country there's a saying "umbrella after rain", after the rain has stopped, you don't need the umbrella, it has to protect you while it rains, not after that. It's the same here now, he needed kind words and encouragement while he was alive, no matter what is said or done now, it's meaningless. All I can say his... may his soul rest in peace.
