For the OT7 Fans & Stans

This is a really quick behaind the scenes series of the guys creaing the BT21 line characters. It's actually really cool to see the creative process and what into each members thought process for creating, naming and coming up with their characteristics. Tae will always be unique. It's what I love about him. JK is uber talented and so is RM!!

Their happiness is contagious!! From concept to final product they all pretty much stayed the same except J-Hope's and Suga's. LOL they all think Chimmy looks like Jimin's dad. I think all the characters are adorable and really do match their personalites

FOR BTS FANS & STANS

I really liked the narration and the narrator's voice but the docuseries of the same name is much better and has more behind the scenes information. There were a few new things in this movie, like the performance on Jimmy Kimmel for the first time and the American Music Awards performance.

I guess I was expecting something else. I was hoping for an actual concert film so I could watch them perform their songs in concert as if I was at the concert. I still look forward to watching all the other concert films they have done and watching all things BTS that I can find.

Not your Typical Review

So as a lot of people I came here for Tae but I ultimately ended up really enjoying this drama/romance/comedy even with the lack of a great story and the massive plot holes. This cast is too beautiful to pass up. I live for beautiful boys and will not watch one without them. Shallow as that may be.

This is a contemporary period piece and at first I was a little leery of that because I'm usually not a fan of people behaving in modern ways during past times but I was able to get past that because this drama was not to be taken seriously. Another reviewer said this is a KPOP fangirls wet dream and that is pretty accurate. I mean the boys here are too pretty and who cares I'm down for that. I also really enjoyed the costumes and the sets.

The story centers on the young King who has been exiled since he was a boy because of the numerous plots to kill him before he can take over the throne. His mother the Queen refuses to abdicate because there are still political factions that would prefer the King not be on the throne but also she is obsessed with her own thirst for power. There were so many people vying for the throne it was ridiculous. There is also something to do with power and class struggles but since this drama cannot be taken seriously so this part of the plot is trite to say the least.

What I loved - Park Seo Joon as Dog-Bird; Park Hyung Shik as the young King, Choi Min Ho as Soo Ho; , Kim Jee Soo as the Queen, Kim Taehyung as Suk Han Sung. I also loved the actor who played Pa oh Yoo Jae Myung he was so great and the scenes where is was pretending to be 22 years old had me in stitches. The entertainment value of the show is great.

I am usually not that enamored with women's faces but Kim Jee Soo - This bitch was flawless.

I don't remember the soundtrack other than V and Jin's Song.

I wouldn't necessarily watch the whole drama again but certain episodes will get a second and third watching.

Average Drama way to many episodes

This could have been a 12 ep series. 16 eps is a bit much.

I realliy liked the actor playing the ML, Cha Eun Woo. I liked his character too. I loved the actress Park Yoo Na playing Yoo Eun.

The story is rather compelling. Since it dicusses the issues surrounding plastic surgery and the unbelievably high Korean beauty standards. I think it's wild that so many young people have the kinds of plastic surgeries the character received. That being said if you want to change something about yourself to make you happy then go for it! Who's to say what's right for you.

I did like that MiRae the FL struggled with being attractive. It's a huge thing to change your entire face and no matter what you look like, good or bad, there will always be someone who has something to say about it, good or bad. My biggest gripe with the story is that MiRae took too long to get over caring about what others thought and it took waayyyy to long for ML & FL to have a kiss!!

Total let down

Aish!! I did not like this at all. I wanted too. I really did and I watched or added to my list because RM said it was one of his favorite movies, but there is no there there!

I thought the beginning of the film was good and started out well and because of that I thought the story was going to be something it wasn't. I envisioned a John Woo type classic Hong Kong action film but it wasn't; so that's on me.

The first fight scene was done really well and Lee Byung Hun as Sun Woo is really good and charismatic. The cast is pretty good. The problem is that the story is lacking and/or not fully done. Especially at the middle to end. It was a total mess and Sun Woo asking why kinda pissed me off. Like, WTF am I watching. Also, Sun Woo was supposed to be a hit man/enforcer but the shooting scenes were laughable. The ending while mostly satisfying fizzled. There is a scene where the "Boss" says to Sun Woo are you really going to take it this far and I screamed at the TV like dude you are the one who took it this far. I was glad he finally killed him.

At any rate I will still seek out movies with Lee Byung Hun.

WTF Did I Just Waste my Time On and WHY????

I have never watched a daily and I may never watch another one ever again. I just learned the phrase "makjang" and this shit is not for me!!!!

I went in with an open mind b/c I can't hate somethng from the getgo. I thought the storyline was intresting but I feel like I was mostly mislead about who the actual male and female leads were and that the story was mostly about romance. Was I disappointed when it was mostly about the jealous 2FL and her dumb 2ML boyfriend and her uncouth and outrageously histrionic mother; YES, I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED! This thing dragged on for 121 episodes. WHY??? I mean 70% of this series was unnecessary; no moving the plot forward episodes and nothing adding to overall value of the story.

I am clearly a glotton for punsihment and I don't drop shows. "I wish i knew how to quit you" !!!

The ending was a compete let down and I guess a year of repentance was enough of a punishmnet for what the terrible two put our so called FL and another character through.

What I loved was Jin Joo Hyung as Lee Han Kyul. If it wasn't for him I may not have made it through. Anyway more power to anyone who actually enjoyed this fuckery. I really can't believe how I wasted my time on this.

Best thing about this series is the music guest

First off let me start off by saying I misinterpreted the synopsis. I thought this was going to be a murder mystery. That's on me. It's a slice of life series and that not a bad thing but the ML life is just so meh!

Sadly, what I watched was unbearably boring. I watched because of Abe Hiroshi and he is great here as M, the aloof and content with his life writer whose girlfriend leaves without a word to him. Mind you, they've been together for 5 years. I thought the 1st episode was good and the characters interesting but even that could not stop me from heavy eyelids watching each episode. These 30 minute episodes seemed like they were 90 minutes long and everything seemed like it was dragging. Literally was falling asleep on each ep!!

The best thing about this series is the musical guest at the end of each episode. I heard new music from several arstist I'd liked to hear more from like Tendre, Tavito Nanao, Toko Miura and Mitsume.

Simple & Sweet

I enjoyed this. Just sweet and simple and no drama. I liked the cast a lot as well. I thought Matsumotu Jun was great as Dr. Tokushige and I found him to be a calming presence. The show it nothing new and the main conflict is hospital buracracy and cutting departments that don't make money. None of which matter to me but is quite sad that hospitals value profits over human lives.

I liked that each episode tackled a different ailment and personal circumstance and how the General Medicine Department helped to facilitate a better care routine and choice for patients.

The standout episode for me was episode 6. I bawled my eyes out this ep. End of life care is no doubt tough! The actor playing Tatsu was great and he helped the actress playing Dr. Tokino shine here.

Good Show

I enjoyed this show. It's nothing grand just a simple legal drama with some really good cases. Most outcomes were based on someones moral beliefs and I was fine with that. Legal shows will alway be a bit overtly dramatic and blur lines with legality and moral ambiguities. What I found the most different as a person from the States watching is that there were no juries in the cases and some may have had different outcomes had there been. It's also a different perspective seeing the Korean civil litigation aspect.

What I loved the most about the show is the cast. They all meshed well together! Hyo Min is also one of my favorite FLs in a long time. I just really liked her character. I like Min Joeng too! Things I could care less about were the office politics and Seok Hoon's ex-wife and her childish husband!

The case that broke me the most was in the 2nd episode. I bawled my eyes out. I was wishing I found someone who could love me that much.

Leaves you wanting more

Overall, I enjoyed this miniseries. Really loved the black comedy vibes.

That being said, a lot of background and foundational info was missing from the story that I would have liked and that ending sent me! Rarely do I say a show needs more episodes but this is the 2nd one I've watched this year that maybe needed 10 eps. Hopefully, there is a 2nd season.

I thought it was an interesting take on the child solider being trained assassins trope. And I understood Yeong Su's motivations and how she wanted a "normal family". It's a terrible thing to grow up they way they did. Then we find that out at the end and I was like OMFG!!! WHAT!! She did that to Cheol Hui....GOODNESS!! I liked the twins as well and that Ji Woo developed as a character. She understood why they had to sacrifice so much.

The best thing though, for me, was that all those horrible people got some of the best punishments being doled out in a series that I have ever seen.

I have never see Bae Doo Na in anything else but she was so good in this that I will seek her other work out.

Overall, I liked this series and the character development of the main characters was well done. Still, some of Hiroto's actions really pissed me off, including in the last episode where he ghosted Mi. And I do understand that he needed to do that. But it still was heartbreaking for me. It was also hard to like Aoi Tachibana. Sorry just didn't like how selfish she was. The show spoke to what it means to be a family and how sometimes we sacrifice ourselves for someone else even when no one asks us too. How being responsible sucks sometimes and can break you. But Hiroto found his way through it.

This cast is phenomenal. The young actor, Sato Tasuku who played Lion was so good and a natural. I also loved Bando Ryota's portrayal of Mi a person with autism.

Ugh!! Incompetent

Another half-baked show I completed this week.

An incompetent, pointless plot. Why the hell did the series have to revolve around Je I's insane father??? I was more interested in a true friendly rivalry between the girls. All the girls really. I thought the series started off strong and the acting from the main cast was great but the series got bogged down in too many unnecessary plots to destroy Je I's father. Plots to sell drugs. Plots to one up some one. Plots to figure out why Seul Gi's father was killed. Plots to be the number 1 student. FFS enough will all these useless plots. Terrible parents and horrible students. What a waste.


The only plus of the series is the acting from the 4 main leads.

Could Have Been Better

I really like the beginning of the series. I thought the episodes flowed really well and the Bo Jin Yan's character
was very interesting. I liked how his relationship with Jian Yao developed. I loved too that Jian Yao wasn't meek and shy and stood her ground with Bo Jin Yan. Fu Zi Yu was a great friend to have. I enjoyed his and Bo Jin Yan's bromance.

The earlier episodes had a murder of the week vibe that was good with the overarching main serial killer case. I think the show started to get slow and boring b/c they tied all the murder cases to that main serial killer which was unnecessary. I also hated the 11th hour BS dual ending. It's one of my most hated tropes. I mean this show has 24 episodes and in the 22nd episode they decided to make someone else the puppet master behind Xie Han and while I kinda figured who that was earlier than revealed, I DID NOT like that bullshit!

Wallace Huo was absolutely fantastic though as was Ma Si Chun. I really liked the majority of the cast but Terence Yin was not that great especially after the big reveal.

Poorly Written & Directed

******SPOILERS ABOUND - DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200 IF YOU HATE SPOILERS*****

What should have been an interesting who done it is a poorly written, nonsensical mess. You know almost immediately that Yu Ji Yun, the main suspect is not the killer yet her husband, Seong Ryeol does everything in his power to make her look guilty. The director wanted to make a noir film but just b/c you have a lot of dark scenes doesn't mean you have a crime noir film.

They have Ryu Seung Ryong, one of my favorite actors playing the most cartoonish villain's I have seen in a long while. He doesn't care about his brother's murder and only cares about getting his stolen goods back, specifically these poop coffee beans. This film stars Cha Seong Won, Ryu Seung Ryong, Song Yoon Ah, Oh Jung Se and even this stellar cast can't save this poorly written foolishness.

I loved Lee El in this she was super cute and adorable playing the coroner.

The big reveal was very predictable, as well. I knew from jump who the mastermind was. This part I won't spoil for any one who really wants to watch.
