you reap what you sow...

this drama is a perfect example of you reap what you sow , everyone got the ending they deserve for what they have done except that masked guy.

kim guy ho deserve death penalty for what he has done , he didn't deserve to be protected by the police and innocent people got injuired or killed trying to protect him till the very end he remained ruthless and a monster , I can't believe that he did that to the detectives daughter while he was supposedly on the run doesn't make sense to me .

the greedy opportunistic lawyer got what he deserved , the assassin aka Mr smile , I don't get how he is still alive after all those bullets 😅 .

this drama should have focused on the main plot line involving that lawyer and politics in this drama was unessecary , they have showed as more of the fake priests story , who was the man in the mask? i guess the fake priest but not sure' , the should have showed us how he got all that money for the bounties , where did he go after all of what happened ? and who was the client that hired Mr smile to kill the man in the mask ? alor of unanswered questions , I don't if this is getting a second or not so it is open ending it guess .

great plot with alot of potential that was somewhat poorly executed in ep 3 I really thought I was watching a different drama , not starting from where we left off in the previous episodes and showing entirely new character was a bit confusing at sometimes.

great plot that was poorly executed ..

this drama had all the ingredients for a successful one yet i dragged midway and gave us a rushed ending.
they gave us a strong start with the mystery of chang fort massacre and chang ning's identity that they made you doubt it all the time

after ML identity was discovered the drama dragged for quite a bit for me .

nie zhi what kind of antagonist is that he was defeated so easily yet ML had the chance to kill him yet didn't guess it was to interrogate him about the man in black identity yet ML could have lured him using any other method.

what was ML's mother in all of this, all she kept doing is poisoning ML and finally gets killed off

ML and FL were always on and off , with her saying that he was using her and everything he did was only for his grand plan and her can't be with him because he is the young master of the demon sect.

a great plot twist at the end when it was revealed that FL's master was the man in black , the tables have turned and the demonic sect doesn't seem that bad anymore that was only great thing in the final episodes for me.

glad it was a happy ending 😊

Was justice really served ??

this drama has a great premise and a strong start yet lost its potential midway
first of all , all actors did a great job except for won jin a , I felt she had the same facial expressions throughout the series either she stares intensely or frowns , I didn't like her acting at all .

this drama starts as a dystopian drama set in year 2035 where it is said that poverty has been eradicated in the name of civilization and poor people had nowhere to go except tunnels and abandoned building , it gives the devil judge vibes so you would expected to continue that way but after han yeong gets a second chance it begins to tone it down nevertheless it was full of funny , action and thriller scenes , i really enjoyed watching han yeong making up for what he did in his past life.

that being said here is what what made it lose potential for me :
kang shin jin in the version of 2035 was this mysterious , powerful and merciless character , yet in 2025 version you see him less calculating and trusting han yeong easily till suddenly we see him taking han yeong to suojae and telling him all about his future plans , i didn't get that transition it was a bit rushed like when did shin jin trust han yeong that much and with someone as calculating and untrusting as shinjin he didn't have han yeong watched ??? he didn't know he was cooperating was the prosecution trying to sabotage his plans ? it didn't make sense for me /

sun won " shin jin thug" what made him serve shinjin with loyalty till the very end even after shinjin betrayed him and tried to kill him , what relationship did these two share ??

what kind of justice was kang shinjin talking about? after framing innocent people and killing witnesses just to let the rich ones off the hook , he wanted power so the rich won't get away with what they have done ? he was the one helping them get away in the first place . what kind of argument did this character have?

In the end after you think you know who is good and who is bad you just see another sujae is formed and this time with some new and some old people and we see beak i seok among them , so had he really gone bad?
and a cellphone was passed to kang shin jin so it isn't over yet ?

this was good in some points yet was still lacking .

Was it all for nothing ?

from the start we get a great plot although its progress was a bit slow , nevertheless you some non sense , for a normal human being when he finds a bag full of drug usually you would report it to the police maybe eun soo's decision was driven by seeing her husband's suicide attempt but we things got really she had no problem selling drugs whatsoever I mean she is a normal housewife you would expect to see a little bit of hesitation or fear , yet they had a great explanation for it , we get a flashback of her husband saying that she is bold and have a Braveheart? especially the scene where they stole the drug and took the money from her ,she chased them that made no sense, they seemed like gang member they could've killed her .

lee gyeong's story was great wished they focused more on it and his interactions with his family .

the corrupted cop who kept blackmailing them , 10 out 10 acting , it was all the money and taking back what was his although he deserved none of it as there was domestic abuse involved with his wife and that's why she asked for divorce and got all his assests.

lee gyeong's revenge was great , he proved his innocence in the end which was the only good thing about that ending .

the ending was unsatisfying yet realistic , but they never got a happy ending especially lee gyeong after discovering his father signed a non disclosure agreement which meant he knew his son was innocent yet he did for the money , eun soo lost her husband even her daughter which she sold drugs in the first place for , so was it all for nothing ??

mixed feelings ...

I get why everyone hates this movie , they have one thing in common which is having read the webtoon .
I get it , it's not as good as the webtoon .
the webtoon is way better .

before watching and after they announced the cast I have never thought ahn hyo seop was going to be a good kim dokja but I was wrong he fits the role very well along with Nana , seung ho and soo bin .

what I didn't like was jisoo as jihye and the drastic change they made to her charater, I mean a sniper instead of a sword?!!!! the ones who have read the webtoon will know it's a huge change the charater as in the webtoon she had physical strength and agility and very well close combat skills , that didn't work for me .

lee jung hyuk what can I say , really disappointed , the character we were all wating to see , lee minho is not a bad jung hyuk but he was expressionless the whole movie , in the webtoon jung hyuk didn't show much emotion either but in some occasion she did show emotion , i dont know but it didn't work for me.

the bridge scene which i was really waiting for , CGI was good at one moment and bad at the other .

overall I really appreciate the hardwork and effort they put in the movie and considering the limitation they had as webtoon has a lot of scenes that are hard to bring them to life the exact way but that doesn't help my disappointment 😕

maybe if you haven't read the webtoon you will this movie interesting .

not bad as everyone was suggesting

this one is woth watching but along 30 episodes the storyline became boring many times , this series could have been less than 30 episodes and would have been great .

ML and FL were well written but somehow I didn't like FL acting that much

wished we could have seen proper revenge for xuan lies parents but I felt it was a little bit rushed

the 2 kings either king of beixuan or king of yannan were getting on my nerves why can't they let the leads be . their characters are poorly written like beixuan's king wanted war just because It was easier than peace for him I don't know what he was thinking, and yannan's king keep threatning qiluo with her family and at the end I don't know what convinced the 2 king to let the leads be together ,like the were suddenly okay with it ( plot hole?????)

qimin was really annoying , his one sided love for qiluo , why can't he let the leads be kept insisting on marry her even though he knew she didn't love him 😤

qingkou obsession with qimin was too much for me, maybe It became a little better at the end .

truly one of the hidden gems ....

this drama is so great with an interesting premise , the whole loop day idea is great and the fact that they made it 16 episodes fits the story so well, longer than 16 and i would have dragged .

mo yuanzhi (the steve jobs wannabe ) his style during the whole series reminded me of steve jobs , his revenge was justified but at the end he lost his purpose i don't it was about curing wanqing and more , it is like he became obsessed and greedy to takeover moma , he even resorted to very violent methods by killing all of those people which was not justified at all .

An Lan saved us from a sad ending

ding qi was spectacular bai jing ting really did a great job , loved all CIB team members they treat each other like family

wished for more than just 2 cases , didn't like the explanation for how he got his special ability , many questions were left unanswered (how by taking the drug was he able to basically manipulate time on some level , really didn't get it ) and why didn't they explain how some people retain some fragments of their memory from the loop day ?

overall great really deserves your time .

great concept that was a bit lacking...

this drama started off very slow paced for me, at first I didn't like how the FL was very cold "although it is only fitting to her character yet I didn't like it " and how ML was so mysterious and you couldn't tell if he was a good or bad character yet after the episode when she saved him and the made a pact to exchange 5 sense it became better .

overall this was a well balanced drama they didn't drag out one arc on the expense of the other yet sometimes the story was rushed , here are some parts of what i am talking about :the love story that was starting to develop between jingyuan and fang ji , fang ji's death ( what kind of death was that😅) , yan ke killing simu's father we only got to see it in a flashback , Jiang ai and bai sang xing backstory what made them hate yet love each other?, yan ke trying to kill simu and threatening to do so yet when he had the chance he didn't, I am confused wasn't power his obsession, did he really love her ? to me it was an obsession all along .

that being said it was a great love story, him willing to sacrifice his life to give her his 5 sense and her giving up her spiritual power to become mortal and be with him.

loved the extra episode it would have been devastating to end with him dying and her being alone all over again.

still a great drama although it lacked depth and was rushed at some points.
