I preface this by saying I really liked the 1st series and did not think the story warrranted a 2nd series. I haven't read the webtoon so maybe by that standard it did.

I did overall like this series but I don't think the story is as well thought out as the 1st series. The best part of the series is Si Eun. Those episode with Park Ji Hoon, carrying that emotional weight elevates the show a for me. I almost wished they had focused more on his recovery in a less violent way. I Still gave the seris a 7 b/c I did like the bromance and frienships developing with Si Eun, Baku, Go Tak and Jun Tae and it's a qucik and easy binge.

A ton of things were left unanswerd or unexplained. Or maybe I just didn't understand the relationship between Baku and Baek Jin. I also did not undertand the point of the Seung Je character.

I wasn't planning to watch this series b/c I felt some type of way about the bullying aspect. And a lot of teen/younger adult shows always seem to have that in them. However, I enjoyed the series mostly bc the cast is really good. The actors playing Su Ho and Sii Eun were absolutely fantastic. They played off each other very well! The bromance is top notch. The plot is intesting too and lot was being said about parental neglect and abuse as well.

Friendship at that age can be tough and navigating that is crucial. I only wished that Beom Seok's spiral had been fleshed out more than his perceived slight at Youngi being closer to Su Ho than he was. He had a ton on trauma b/c of his adopted family, especialy the father and being bullied at the prior school. He felt like he found his people and then felt slighted even though he had not been. I hate that the assemblyman got away with all of that.

I also, liked that certain things did not drag out like that loan shark/criminal nonsense. In another series we would have had to deal with that guy for 3 more eps!

Not sure if a 2nd season is needed but I will assume that the webtoon had additional pages and leave it at that.

Enjoyable, overall. Fast paced series. Good dramedy with some serious and touching scenes and some LOL moments. It reminded me of the Jdrama Iryu Team Medical Dragon.

I liked Dr. Baek singular focus of helping patients and trying to save lives instead of worrying about the cost or deficits. Yes, I get that hospitals are for profit companies but they shouldn't be at the expense of true care for patients. I really like the whole cast and I was especially impressed with Choo Young Woo as Dr Yang b/c I just watched him in Mercy for None and I hated him there but he's s affable and sweet here!

I wish we would have seen that bastard Dr Hong punished as he was ornery til the end! I did love the scene where Dr. Baek threw him down into that chair! One of the highlights of the show!

Absolutely Brutal Revenge Rampage - So Good

From episode the first up til the end, this was a revenge rampage of singular focus and it was all the better for it! This show maintained all of the bravado and pulse pounding action. I have loved every second of every minute of it! There is no nuance here and there was no need to be. The series states exactly what is is Mercy for None! The cast was fantastic too! However, the younger cast was no match for the veterans! So ji Sub, Lee Jun Hyuk, Huh Joon Ho all superb! Lee Bum Soo was great comic relief!

I actually, may read the webtoon to see what was left on the drawing room floor! This was such a quick, fun binge I recommend to all.

On a side note; the amount of hotness in this series was off the charts. Here's looking at you Jung Gun Joo! Please give this man some lead roles!

There's a re-release this weekend in US theaters so it was cool I got to watch on the big screen.

I enjoyed this movie! It has it's own Godzilla origin story. It played out more like a disaster film and I really liked that about it. It was boardrooms and strategizing. Trying to determine the best course of action with the least amount of human casualties by the government. Overall a really good cast. Some familiar faces some not so but main cast worked well together. The pace was well done too, and they kept things moving which helps the film out a lot b/c there is a ton of dialogue in this movie!

I honestly did not like the Godzilla monster. The design was very gross and rather off putting and maybe that was the point. It is a monster after all. The other thing I kept thinking at the end was are they just going to leave Godzilla there like that and why didn't they just obliterate it??? That being said, its a good watch, solid film.

I liked the show but it was just meh. The acting of the leads is good and I liked the supporting characters. This was my first series with Yoo Seung Ho and he was good as Dong Baek. Even when the character was annoying I liked him and felt his emotions.

The revenge aspect took away from the series in my opinion. I liked the first few eps with them working different cases. It probably wouldn't have bothered me as much if it hadn't gone on for so many episodes. One of my main gripes with these Kdrama thrillers is that the writer(s) never know how to make the main arc concise and logical. It's always so outlandish and implausible. I mean this revenge scheme lasted 20 years why??? Also, too many innocent people died on purpose. I just don't like stuff like that.

While the big reveal was interesting it came a day late and a dollar short, even after they went thru with all the explanations. Plus I had planned in my head for a very cliche long lost twin!! LOL!!! I felt the ending was very anti-climatic and the deaths of the ultimate main villains was just not enough for me!

Mediocre Crime Thriller - So Much Wasted Potential

******SPOLIER ALERT****SPOILER ALERT****SPOILER ALERT****SPOILER ALERT****SPOILER ALERT*******

I liked the beginning of the series and I think the acting from the leads is well done. Nana and Jang Ki Yong have excellent chemistry. But the storyline is a mess and could have been executed a lot better. The show has way too many characters and it was way too much going on. The show actually, had elements that were done really well like the fact that the young prosecutor on Hyun Jin's team wasn't corrupt. I've seen it happen so much in these drama's that I was pleasantly surprised he was on the up & up. I liked the character growth of the older cop on Hyun Jin's Team too.

Hyun Jin's adopted father was one of the worst villains I've watched in a while and I was itching for his death. Could not come quick enough!!!! These shows really make you hate these greedy, rich people. I hate that we never get the answer at the end of who was really sponsoring Do Jae Hwan but I'm going to guess it was the President of Korea.

The best part of the series for me is that it ends the way it's supposed. Didn't think that was going to happen and I was very glad it did. I was also quite emotional when Philip died. Didn't expect to feel that way.

*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****

This was quick, cute romcom with Jasper Liu just making me completely happy with his smile.

I enjoyed the story of the Triad boss's daughter falling for the an actor. The romance parts were super cute and dumb but I was here for it. Angie's fantasies were hilarious. Plus she and Xu were really cute together. Great chemistry between the actors. I also loved that Angie was a bad ass! So cool!

Some of the comments are saying there was suppsoed to be a second season not sure if that's true but a second season or even a part 2 to this season would have ironed out a bunch of kinks from the subplots. I also wish Ling Yun got her son back. Funny enough, at first I thought the ending was them making Xu's gangster movie, LOL but it was not and maybe that's why people think a 2nd season was planned!

Shin Hye Sun is the Reason to Watch

Overall, a good movie to watch and enjoy, especially if you like the bully getting it in the end. Shin Hye Sun was great here and I loved that she was taking hits and wasn't just beating the bully up.

It's a hard watch though but a lot of the bully movies and TV shows are. I mean the level of vitriol that bullies seem to have against people they consider less than is just wild. The fact that schools and administrators and the police often don't do anything either not to mention Korea's lack of discipline when it comes to minors who do horrible shit. It's a lot to unpack. Just a terrible situation that Korean society seems to be ok with.

Emotionally Resonant

This is the best Jdrama I've watched in a long time. The series is well acted, well scripted and thought provoking. The reason the series is not getting a 10 is because there were things brought up or mentioned in the show that were never addressed again that I needed answers. If you watch you'll understand what I mean.

What was really well done is the different perspectives we saw of the jurors and how the case was playing into their lives and the parallels between Risako and the mother on trial. This is a slow burn series but worth the watch. As frustrated as I was watching Risako not standing up for herself, the journey she took to get there was worth the wait. I kept screaming at the TV girl, please say something; please tell these people how you feel and what you think; please stop letting your husband make you feel worthless.

I loved that it felt like I was at the courthouse each day listening to the evidence. A woman is on trial for killing her infant daughter. Seems straight forward enough until you delve into the whys and hows. How society views mothers, and women and children and why it always seems to fall on the mother to do the heavy lifting for raising the child. Why men get to procreate and then have no responsibility in the raising of the child.

A little Better Than Average Series with Interesting Villain

Overall, I liked this series. Dr. Frost is cold, and unemotional (hence, the name) but a brilliant psychologist. I liked Song Chang Eui in the role. He's very good. I have never seen him or the FL Jung Eun Chae who plays assistant Yoon in anything and they played off each other very well.

There were different crimes each episode with and over arching main case. I thought each case was good and I liked the supporting cast of police and Detective Nam. Detective Nam was good comic relief but he was also a good cop which you don't always get in these series. I also, adored young detective Cha.

I also, really liked the main villain. I won't give any spoilers away but he was a very interesting character . They could have done more with him and maybe that was the plan b/c the ending makes you think there could be a 2nd season but maybe not enough people watched to warrant one.

Boring & Wasted Documentary

I watch a lot of true crime series and this is one of the worse one's I've seen. I'm not sure who directed and produced this but It was not that great. Also, did not need 3 episodes. I thought the police in Kdramas were incompetent but the actual Korean police fumbled this entire case. The different districts didn't coordinate efforts or share information. They let this psycho walk out of the police station and destroy evidence. Too many corrupt and or lazy cops. I did appreciate the forensic/s doctor and the profiler as well but the documentary focused way to much on police interviews. I found it weird too that the police seemed to be parading the killer around in front of the media. The only good thing I heard in this doc was that b/c of the colossal fuck ups by the police, policies and procedures changed.

It was a nice chapter ending docuseries. I liked seeing how they all thought about the next steps and how hard it would be after they have been together for so long. To be apart and do their own things. It's nice to see them thinking and talking about there own wants and needs. I only wish it had been a little more in depth, like individual episodes.

Now that they will be all be out of the military in June I look forward to seeing what new things and music and other adventures they have instore. Maybe Taehyung will finally do another drama. A lot of the solo music has been great and different and I hope they continue to grow as artist.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series. Could have done without the sad parts and a certain someone dying but otherwise an absolutely fun watch.

I enjoyed the cases of the week and the over arching story even though the over arching story went on too long. for me. This was the first series I've watched with NamKoong Min and he was so good in this. His switch up was so well done. I liked all the main cast and the supporting cast in the Prosecutor's office. Park Jin U was comedy gold. Just loved his character. I was glad there was no romance between the leads.

Episode 9 was fucking hilarious! From to Mu Jang buying the car to the the scammer claiming to be 23 years old. I LOL damn near the entire episode. The humor of the show is top notch. Min Hyuk is a much better character than I gave him credit for and I appreciate the writers for that. I was ready to write him off as a prick and one note but he really was a good and caring prosecutor.
