Bromance is so important that is what kept it going. The action scenes were my favourite especially when it was 2 against 100 and yet still won when the opposition was using weapons that I rewatch it many times if I need a pick up. The story was intriguing and kept me glued to the point even my siblings who hate kdrama also watched it as well. It shows what is power exploitation and the lengths these characters will go to. It made me cry at times, especially at 6 but also made me laugh with the 2 cousins who made my day. Was this review helpful to you?

This is my kind of show
The characters, you would've thought with so many characters they wouldn't get the screentime they deserved or they would've been underdeveloped but nope.My favourite characters were Noja, the detective and Yu min.
Noja may have definitely done criminal acts throughout but he had principles. He may have only wanted his money but everyone learnt a few lessons along the way. The amount of time, I truly thought he was dead only for him to crawl his way out.
The main detective, weve all seen one in a drama that never listens to his superiors and end up doing most of the work for his time - he really did want to solve the case.
Yu min at first seemed to be the villian in all of this only to find out he wasn't, it was actually Je Mun Jae and he did all of this to get revenge on someone who destroyed his and the Min Yeong life.
The pacing was excellent with it being fast paced, full of tension and never knowing who to trust or even ehat to believe
However, there was too many flashbacks, I understand that was to help the audience understand what happened which led to the present but there was so many - at least half the drama was flashbacks.

I have so many questions?
What was the actual plot and story?What is Great's ability?
The explanation for the ability.
These are the core ones.
At the halfway point, I felt like I was watching 2 stories at the same time Great and Thyme then Tonkla and Inspector Win/Korn with little overlap with each other and so it felt chunky and muddled like reading 2 books at the exact same time.
Episode 6 I hated so much as it was just a recap of what was going on with minor changes then it changes direction again with Tonkla disappearing then reappearing again.
Characters, I didn't like any of them - they were just so bland
It was not worth the time or energy

I loved how it showed due to his disability, he struggled to find a job as he struggled to communicate and that was a main part of the job he was looking to do.
However, it did have its weaknesses like, I don't know why Shoa Peng never thought to get cochlear implants ( not always a solution to hearing loss ).
I would've like to see more of Zi Xiang and his cousin relationship and more detail on why he thought killing him was the only option.
The fiancée coming to meddle with the main couple wasn't needed as they already hard a lot they could've delved into like his disability and reliance on others especially in a new environment or meeting new friends or he meeting the family.
The pacing was slow at times so seemed everything was dragging.

The characters I loved. The FL diverting the killer's attention away from his other victim. The mother wanting to find her daughter. The brother desperate to find his sister.
But this also shows how the police dismissed those with disabilities as he struggled to communicate.

It had potential. I almost dropped it.A major issue is pacing. At times it was so slow and so skipped a lot of the dialogue as it seemed unnecessary and chunky at times and other times everything was happening at once with me having no clue what actually was happening so everything is slightly jumbled.
It had a solid if not cliche story.
The characters were okay with no one really standing out apart from Dan who I liked from the beginning. Too bad he is in a coma.

The momentum slightly changed
All numbers card games are all cleared and the leaves the master face cards.S1 is definitely more action packed and fast paced.
Now there are fewer games but take longer to complete the objective. Osmosis and Prison game being my favourite.
Prison as it kept you on your toes and shows who you can really trust.
Osmosis as it was another learning point for arisu on what life truly is.
I hated that they had ann trekking through the wood for half the season. He had the potential. He is intelligent and survival skills but wasted it finding civilisation.

I've not read the manga
Why did I wait so long to watch this, I don't know.The plot was solid and hooked you from the first minute. The whole alternative universe explanation is slightly confusing though
The games I either liked or loved them with tag and wolf games my favourite ones.
Tag as it started to introduce some key characters we will see later and liked their development. To be honest I feel like this is one of the easiest games.
Wolf game as it defined arisu and his perspective on everything changed after that game. I wouldn't want any heart game.

Father Johan I liked. He was bubbly and generally cared about Miho. I enjoyed his backstory as well. It is still unclear on how he became a father. This is the first drama Ive watched that Eun woo is in.
Van, I liked his backstory more than the the present one. He seemed cold to everyone.
Miho was so bratty in my opinion. She does try to do the right thing but that's all. Even though everything is centered around her, she never seems to be involved.
The pacing was decent during the first 4 episodes then it felt like nothing was progressing at all.

I love how serious topics were brought up, like gender inequality and the SA, which was realistic and actually was part of the main story of Ohm. Their voices were heard as it is true that the amount of power Ohm held meant he got away with it if it weren't Pam speaking up on behalf of her girlfriend. It had me guessing throughout it, and my bet was on Kris, but I was wrong with that.

Jiwon is my favourite character, someone who struggle to express himself at times also someone who cares about other's opinion due to him being famous gymnast but truly cared for Junwoo in his own ways. He made me cry when he cried.
Jungwoo might seem scary to others but he is a total softie around the ones who truly know him. The one who isn't scared to say what he wants.
I actually liked the pacing of it.

The plot was simple and it was solid. However, there was character detail that made me attached to anyone even if one of them was getting abused by his father.
The reasoning behind suho actions I'm still confused about and the whole female character. What was her role? She just wanted to break the couple up

The only saving grace was the flashbacks that saw a beautiful friendship between two boys that was so wholesome and I was more interesting then the present moment.
But how did he recognise Lee Jun. They were so young and their looks have changed quite a bit.
I skimmed the whole thing, nothing interested me

I really felt the emotions the they felt. Garn not the one to speak his feelings out loud and yet his simple words and glances given.
Tul wanting a family that he loves but we know deep down he loves Garn but not as powerful as Garn or maybe he was scared to pursue what his heart told him.
This shows reality for some people who ends up in a different pathway

The characters I overall liked but the the rich daughter was totally unnecessary in the drama as she is just there doing nothing for the plot
The sister I felt had some sort of mental disorder and needed to get professional help in this as she needed constant care throughout
