The story is not as beautiful as the leads but ok

This is one of those dramas that offers great leads, amazing chemistry, golden light for as far as the eye can see making you feel all warm and gooey inside... All with the added bonus of a fluffy can and a fish tank that reminded me of dramas past...

It is also one of those dramas that you just you know got though censorship without a hinge, yet managed to keep it kind of subtle compared to others (focus word kind of) somewhere right in the middle of a scale from Road to Patriotic bordom (or Home) to Addicted heroin.

The friendships and side characters to their jobs without becoming to annoying, some twists or moments of affection are hinted just a little bit to much by bad directing. But other than that the sides even have some really good moments.

However I could not have cared less about the business slightly preachy (hens the I am sure it passed censorship well). It just prolonged the episode count and had me lower the score as some of those parts where so boring i almost fell a sleep. Luckily interactions between the leads where never far off.

So a decent watch that made me want to press that next episode button from start to finish, but also had me wanting to skip some scenes.

P.s. I am reallt bias about the two leads, but then again how can you not be with those smiles, abs and delivery of lines.

Kisses and a bunch of people with hidden agendas

This drama has one good episode, a decent female something and a bunch of really well executed kisses... and well that is about it... As slightly annoying guy has a crush on an amazing girl but gets douped by a guy with a hidden agenda on their way though some misunderstandings and the feeling of trust no one as they may or may not have a hidden agenda but honestly they all just fall flat.

I was almost going to give this a 7,5 for the kisses, the good episode and the girl plus lack of issues to complain about but then a whole bunch of cringe happened and dragged down the score. Conversations with parents that had me gaging and just a whole lot of oh come on.... Seriously are they going to throw in that annoying trope. And well at that point I felt a 7 was a kind score.

So what can I say the romance has its good times and again great kisses... but honestly it is just not enough to make this a good or even a watch worthy of your time. But if you do not mind the lack of plot and cringe and have some time to kill go for it or just fast forward to the kisses and the scenes with the girl.

Charming Character development, basically about the sides

This is a short fun watch full of lots and lots of sweet and fun characters and one of dramalands most insightful male leads. A male lead that is there to give (probably false) hope to all the women out there who want to believe a sexsis chovenist can change his ways,.. F**k the patriarch here comes a guy who has been dumped, learend to cook for himself and finally learend to listen to others. A dream come true!

That said, there are lots of good men out there who do not need to get dumped to shed the patriarchy of the past, not all men and so on...

As time went by I realised that every single character in this drama had grown on me and I found myself confused and shipping the leads with pretty much everyone else then each other, Enjoying the different turns and even hop for a second season or a spin off , as long as at least four of the characters (any four, but extras for the two female friends our male lead made) are in this I'm sure Ill enjoy the watch.

Also, there is a lot of yummy cooking in this so make sure not to watch this while you are hungry.

Beige contract Cinderella

this feels a bit like a role reversal contract marriage done beige, very, very beige.

While the male lead is an adorable little puppy , the female lead is a bit of an over acting bulldog scaredy cat combo.

The male leads styling is completely off , it takes talent to put a cute guy guy in a suit and make him look less attractive. The female lead has more moodswings than a swing on a school playground adoring break time. They seem to try to make her look independent but fail at every turn...

An okay watch, that is a bit different than many others like it but sometimes different does not mean actually good.

Sweet and innocent (ish)

This is a lovely drama about family, love, animals and society.

WhatI loved abaout this s the found family teen friends all went to different schools and had a hard time at home but could find a connection and friendship in each other. Viewd by many as delinquents but actually just a bunch of decent kids. Tehy reminded me a lot of the found family friend I had in my teens so I could relate.

It also showed how finding just one grown up who cares can make an impact in a lonely teens life, done pretty okay.

While there are a lot of wonderful friendships and characters in this, I still find it kind of lacking a spark,Some parts of this drama felt kind of refreshing and it does really own up to the name found family but it was also kind of draggy at times, some of the acting felt a bit off. So I guess Im trying to say that though it has so much good in it there is still something missing. Keeping me from rating this higher

Good start but inconsistent and annoying towards the end

It started off pretty okay, the romance is nice, the friendships are lovely the villains are idiots and the families are adorable... But then it became slightly repetitive, annoying and took some kind of turn from business/romance to undercover patriotic justice warriors... Bringing in all the things I have come to accept (unwillingly) in C -dramas and just can't take in my K's. This change har me rolling my eyes so many times it became ridiculously painful to watch towards the end. The pace is so off, the way things wrap up is not the least bit satisfying or in anyway given proper closure to the build up. And there are so many things that make no sense at all about the villains. It is as if they cut out their scenes to spare us the misery they bring .

So why the high score?

Again the characters friendships and first half of the show sores between an 8,5 and a 9., as for the rest it does have some moments of fluff and sweetness between the eye rolling moments.

Can't buy me out of love...

This is a story about the guy who was afraid to love and the other guy who fell so hard he even got a fake tattoo.

To be compleatly honest I don´t really get why the guy who got hte fake tatoo fell for the guy who was afraid to love? there is not much of a process there unless you count being payed to pinn a guy upp against a wall...

There is a lot kissing, more or less partial nudity and steam during the first few episodes, so much I had to turn off the volume , bu thten again the guy who is afraid to love sounds pretty much the sam when he is enyoing himself as he does when he is having an anxiety attack. So if you do watch this and have kids or parents who are still awake in your homeyou may want to turn off the sound or wait until you are alone.

there is not much plot, and I don´t really like the pale male lead who is afraid to love, his acting feels off nat there really is not much to him.

The other characters are fun, I could use more screen time or a spin off for the lesbian couple...

All in all an Ok watch but nothing wow.

Not perfect but an easy binge

I went in to this thinking it would be really bad but honestly both me and my husband said it was not as good as season one but better than season two.

To watch this you will have to turn off your brain as not much actually makes any sense, like at all but I do believe the story does give us some depth, closure to the other two seasons and sheds a pretty decent light on survivors guilt and that surviving (what ever it may be ) is just the beginning and in no way the end.

It also feels true to the Joker for not really making any sence and giving us the feeling of anything can happen as the rules can change and all is a mess.

As for the near death experience and afterlife stuff I feel like it is more of a show of the body struggling in those minutes than the consciousness... As I am a firm believer in the near death experience being a whole lot of nothingness, but htat could of course just be my personal experience of it...

Sweet and informative

This is a short sweet slice of drama, One that shows the importance of finding meaning and belonging as well as people who will appreciate you just the way you are. Not because of piti or duty or some kind of inspirational story. But because of who one truly is.

As for our leads the smiles, the way one them eats and two completely different approaches to pure and honset are a pleasure to watch.

While I admit some parts of this drama felt more like an educational than a drama, and one of our male leads does have som impuls/anger issues. I still felt like I could love each character as well as what they contributed to the story. Offering very spot on scenes about life with a disability and the different ways people partly cope but also the many ways sociaty contributes to ones silence and life harder than it should be.

Having a soft spot for dramas that show people with disabilities as more than becoming the disability (even if the disability took a lot of space I did feel that the true story was more about living rather than surviving, friendship and of course romance.

The drama also seems to want to send a message that there are different types of intelligence, different paths to take and that what works for one person may not work for another there is also av very clear message about how hard it can be to communicate and understand not only the sender (hearing or not) but also ones self.

Not the best drama of my life

This is one of those drams that starts off okay, and has almost all of my favourite tropes.... Especially when you count the second couple that more or less out shine the first one.

The female lead is kind oh so kind, a part of me wondered if they would name a street after her. She also lacks self a steam and could use trying to communicate over assuming stuff. The male lead is frustratingly slow (yes within 14 episodes) devoted, possessive, cold didn't really impress me much even though I usually love my icicle leads. The cat is however cute.


But then it gets draggy, oh so draggy, and preachy making my eyes role yet again.... So much that I considered dropping it at episode 14 before I realised it only had 14 episodes so I pushed though that last episode and was greatful they didnt try to make it 24.

Being a better adult and learning to loose

This drama makes very little sense and gathers a whole lot of terrible, terrible adults, mostly terrible masculine adults. Selfish, hot headed men who do more or less anything to trample on anyone they see fit. Brining out my anger and making me wish doom upon them. I also kept wondering how these men could survive in an environment where there are guns and physically strong teens that out number them by quite a lot.

But seriously very little of the reasoning in this made sense... Like dude has a non contagious illness, we can't have that guy around the kids but a violent dude who assaults them is just peachy. WHAT? Or Throw the match to let your student win or else you are a bad coach?

As a vice principal I shall do all to oppress the kids so I can move funding to impress the guy up in the chain.... again WHAT? Or and a lead who rather be remembered as someone who doped and took away the nations gold than come out as sick....

The friendships among both adults and teens are top, top. The character growth is sweet, there is a little bit to much yelling and several highly annoying characters however annoying as they are they are kind of needed for the plot. So I let it slide.

That said it has some moments of fluff, other moments of suspense and decent acting. And the message is actually pretty nice. We should all focus on being decent adults and loosing is a natural part of life.

Good start but fails the psychiatric test...

This drama has some sweet moments and lovely friendships it starts off really interesting with love to hate with a twist math/secret pen pal twist.

Our male lead is a cold guy who really never ever lets anybody finish their sentences a tendansy that only gets wors towards the later episodes. Our poor female lead is a supernatural super hero or has like 5 clones. I love her but there is no way on earth a human can do all that and still survive.

The evil second female lead is as portrayed as the most conniving woman ever to walk the earth, For a drama that seems to want to talk about mental illness they seem to completely lack any basic understanding of human psychiatry and psychology. I may not be an expert, really I am not but the way they try to portray PTSD and depression just feel off and there is no way the evil female second female lead has the right chemical balance in her mind.

Other than that there is a cool aunt, a highly predictable best friend or two and some other lovable characters and is a pretty easy binge. However all this good is just not really enough for me to recommend it even if it started off as an 8,5 the later episodes just fall flat and are meeh. The kisses feel generic (though they try), and there is just one to many questionable approaches to mental health to make me wanna recommend it.
