Good drama with superb acting!
the drama was a nice surprise. The acting was superb! The girls really nailed it.The storyline was good but I would not compare it to masterpiece Weak Hero Class 1 as I read in few comments. You will be hooked from first episode and feel emotional with the safering characters.
The drama was great but towards the end the plot did not have the same pace as at the beginning. To be honest I was expecting “The ending” after what they all had to go through. Also I could not see any punishment for the parents as they all known about the bullying. Also it wasn’t really satisfying to see Ha Rin laying in the hospital.

you will not miss much if you do not watch it
The drama was decent—not great, but not bad either. The story was truly fascinating and eye-opening, especially because it's based on real events. It's a sad truth that the themes it explores are still so relevant today, showing how people often have to pay a high price for fame.The acting was great, with Jung Ho delivering a standout performance. He truly nailed the character, making him a personal favorite.
I found the storyline about friendship to be particularly well-done, highlighting the struggle to survive in an industry where, especially back then, women were often seen as objects. The show did a good job of trying to expose a terrible side of society, but it's disheartening to see that so little has changed. It feels like no one cares; everyone is still driven by power or money, and people blindly believe what the tabloids write, which continues to destroy lives.
Despite having only six episodes, the pacing felt slow, and I found myself losing focus. Honestly, if I hadn't watched it, I don't think I would have missed much.

The best storytelling and amazing plot twist!
The light ship will take you on a amazing journey that you did not expect at all. The first four episodes, you think it's a scary horror and wonder what is going on, but once episode 5 hits, you're like WTF and you cannot move because you are so hooked. The plot twist is amazing and will blow your mind. It is awesome to see the story unfold, and with each episode, you discover something new. I cannot say more without spoiling it for you. You just have to watch it!This drama has the best storytelling.
The production and screenwriting are amazing. I haven't seen such a good plot twist in a long time. I love how they make you think it's a normal horror story, but they lead you, and you just have to say WOW.
The drama will leave a lasting impression on me for a long time. The post-credits scene is probably setting up a new season of *Moving*. I cannot wait.

To the Wonder is more than a drama; it's an experience
To the Wonder is a breathtakingly beautiful drama that quietly steals your heart. It unfolds as a deceptively simple story, yet its gentle pull is irresistible, drawing you into its world so completely that you cannot help but fall in love. The cinematography is stunning, capturing landscapes so vast and pure they feel like a character in themselves.The drama's power lies in its profound authenticity. The performances are so natural and unforced that I often felt less like a viewer and more like a silent witness to a documentary. It offers a raw and intimate glimpse into a traditional existence, masterfully portraying the friction and poetry that arise when modernity gently brushes against ancient customs. The Kazakh way of life, with the village feeling like one extended, loving family, was a true privilege to experience.
At its heart, the drama beats with the extraordinary chemistry between Wen Xiu and Ba Tai. Their connection is so genuine and sweet that I found myself giggling along with them, completely charmed by their tenderness. My only, very slight, complaint is that I longed for just a few more moments with them at the end—but to say more would be to spoil the drama.
To the Wonder is more than a drama; it's an experience. An absolute must-watch.

average bl drama that could have been great if executed differently
The drama started with a unique and well-executed storyline but became confusing in the second half. To be honest, I had no idea what was going on—which storyline was the real one? What was happening? In the end, it all made sense, but it was kind of disappointing. Also, they could have done a better job of editing the scenes. It is a real shame as the drama started really strong.On the other hand, the acting was superb, especially the second leads, Korn and Tonkla, who stole the show. The intimate scenes were 🔥
Overall, it was an average BL drama that could have been great if executed differently.

An average drama that you will forget in a few days
The first five episodes were challenging to watch as I genuinely disliked Dong Joo's behavior, but it improved. However, it was still too draggy for me, and I found it difficult to maintain my attention. I enjoyed the storyline and especially the bond between the male leads, as it was the highlight of the drama.I was disappointed that everything was resolved in the last episode without any complications. It was too simplistic. I think it would have been more satisfying to see more of Kang San's superpowers.
Overall, it was an average drama for me.

nice concept of the storyline but not executed very well
Despite the rating the comments are very positive so I gave it a try. To be honest at episode 7 I was loosing interest and I wanted to drop the drama but it only has a 10 episodes so I finished watching it.The concept of the story is good but it was not executed very well. Unfortunately nothing about this drama stands out for me. Also I don't like the open ending, specially if there is no sertency that there will be another season.
The acting is okay as their performance is average and I did not build any sympathy or feelings towards the characters.
I really liked the edvanced technology they showed but it is a shame the drama is lacking in so many ways.

Great drama for the first half after that it is disappointing.
It could have been so good if they carry on with the story as in the first half of the drama. The first 6 epidosed are great. It keeps you engaged and you don't know what is gonna happen next between the taxi driver and the culprit.But once the culprit went to China the storyline went downhill. I wish they would finish the drama around 6/7 episodes. It is a real shame as they did not use all the potential and it could be a great drama. The story keeps you engaged through the whole drama but I was loosing interest towards the end. I will not even talk about the imcopentece of the detectives...The villan character was perfect as probably the olny character in the drama. To my surprise a didn't even care how it is gonna end.
Overall it is a good drama but could have been great if the focused more on the storyline.

great acting but too slow pace
The acting is great, interesting storyline but its too draggy and I got bored. I had to warch on high speed to finish it. I wanted to know how it will ends.Sang Mi suffered so much and to be abandoned by her family, specially her sick father. It was hard to watch. Sang Hwan character is so annoying and he always makes the situation worst. The real hero is Dong Chul. He risked everything to save her but it seems like Sang Hwan got all the credit for it.
Its interesting storyline and very sad to see how easily people can get brainwashed and even more that places like that exist.

Yim Si Wan…Wow what a amazing performance!!!
I am surprised that this drama is not more popular. It’s soo good!!The first half you gonna laugh and the second half is pure suffering.
The story was great. The only negative (enoying )is that I hated the sceens with Seona and wished someone would beat Jang up so he would come to his sense. Also he was getting too confident and cocky so the story unraveled as it should.
The end was so satisfying (not talking about the post credit sceen) Si Wan is amazing…the acting!! Can’t wait for season 2.

overrated...bunch of teenagers living their lives through their phones
Not sure if it's just me, but I think it's overrated. It's only seven episodes, but it took me ages to finish. It's a nice story about coming-of-age and teenagers' first love, who are glued to their phones. It's kind of sad to see the new generation living their lives through phones. Nothing much happened except people switching partners in their friend group. I didn't feel any connection to them and didn't really care who would end up with whom. The acting was good, as was the realistic production.Overall, it's a realistic BL drama that didn't impress me or leave any feeling after finishing it except...finally.

Great acting saved badly written drama.
I was so looking forward to this drama as the concept is really interesting, but the drama did not deliver. It was an easy watch as it is only 10 very short episodes.To be honest, I stayed for the acting as it was great and mostly for the villain, as Young Kwang was born to be a villain. I saw his drama Eviline and he slayed the role as well.
I wish they spent more time on the stories of the victims, as the most touching was about the students. You feel for them as there is no justice if you have no money and nobody cares, so instead of ending their life, they choose the gun. I get what Moon Baek wanted to achieve, as the situation in Korea is appalling. The suicide rate is over the roof, people been chased/killed by loan sharks, bullying... one day you reach the point of desperation and pull the trigger. The story of the gangsters was unnecessary and did not bring much to the drama; I would say it was quite the opposite. It would be better if they explored the impact on society and if people would start to change. Also portraying the police as useless and in the meanwhile Lee Do sorts and saves everyone by himself. Especially the last fight, he kills the whole commando. The ending did not feel right and not satisfying at all.
The script is just a mess, and the acting saved the show.
It is an okay drama, not bad, not great. Such a shame as if it was done properly, it could have been awesome.

Underrated drama with great storyline but weak start.
What a fun ride this drama turned out to be! Although it took about three or four episodes to truly hit its stride, once the core team assembled and the dynamic took hold, I was completely hooked.The greatest strength of the series lies in the brilliant teamwork of the central trio. It was immensely satisfying to watch them operate, always staying several steps ahead of their targets to ensure justice was served. Every case felt fresh, providing exciting challenges and leading to genuinely entertaining downfalls for the villains. A major highlight was the performance of the actor playing James (Park Hee-soon); his ability to completely transform into new characters for each scheme was captivating and added a unique layer of flair to the show. Yun I Ran's wardrobe was so impressive, it felt less like watching a drama and more like attending a high-end fashion show.
Despite the high praise for the team and action, the drama carries one significant flaw: the backstory involving Yun I Ran. This subplot felt entirely disconnected from the compelling main narrative and ultimately detracted from the experience. The exploration of her trauma was poorly executed and could have—and arguably should have—been left out of the story entirely. It added no necessary depth and only served to interrupt the fantastic momentum built by the main action plot.
Overall, this is a highly enjoyable and intelligent story about a great team that catches villains. It’s a shame this drama is so underrated; its current rating simply doesn't do justice to the brilliant chemistry, engaging cases, and sheer fun factor it delivers. It's definitely a must-watch for fans of crime and teamwork dramas.

Real drama of 90s - Chang Wook amazing transformation
I think it is the most realistic drama I had seen. The production is great and the atmosphere of the 90s is so real. I love both ML leads. They have done great job.I love the development of Seung Ho and his fenomenal transformation from cop to thug as he really became one. And build thrue friendship with Ki Chul. Also Hae Ryeon character was great and she was the main character to comparation to Eui Jung as her character/acting did not left any expression on me.
Despite it has sad ending, I have to say it is great ending. Everyone gets what they deserve. Specially the fat cop as he was the most enoying character ever. I felt quite bad for Chul as he put his trust to wrong people and because of that he lost everything and everyone betrayed him. I could see the pain in his eyes as he confronts them and he had nothing to live for anymore.
I wish they could walk together through the streets of Gangnam forever. That last seen made me quite emotional.

disappointed-waste of time
After reading comments and reviews I was expecting so much from the drama but I have to say that I am disappointed.I don’t know why but I didn’t like the FL. I could not connect to the characters and the drama wasn’t very engaging. I had to keep skipping scenes just to finish it. The story was good…it could be great drama if executed differently.
I dont understand how someone can compare this drama to My dearest which is total masterpiece!!
