Aw that’s was actually a really well done ending🫶🏻Tbh the process was slow, the revenge weak and this would’ve been better with 12eps but the times my mom joined tensions were high and ending well wrapped
Also WDH’s acting was FIRE, I was so proud I could tell my mom that’s my favorite actor, his grief were raw, his quirks were my type
and the princess was princessy, her high voice was a bit annoying to me but it fit her bright pureness without her being dumb and she was a driving force
My best punishment is this, living enough to lose it instead of being murdered or dying and losing his mind and forgetting was such an ironic sad ending since he did wish for good things
And WDH being a fair ruler honestly that made him so hot
my mom's first historical

Tho it was 1h10min so the extra scene was a “bonus” but it wasn’t that necessary
I wouldn’t mind a second season of this plotline
Basically as a mystery and the events related to it, the writer did well
They suspected enough people with good reason and the villain did well too
Yebun was a normal person with zero “survival skills” and that was ok, it was what made this duo funny. She was a sheltered “idiot” and I was proud of her growth
There were two scenes I really enjoyed this ep, it was the “needle” scene and the bikers
I’ll only say this here but my boo suho wasn’t that good tho he was atleast better than my lovely boxer annoying 2ml or my lovely lair 1ml
I was detached to him but near the end he developed well
I might’ve not enjoyed it without a mom watch but atleast since no crime/mystery/suspense drama since 2016 appealed to me, this did well

what I loved, female centered plot, relaxing office setting, a non cheater husband and a small hints of romance for the other fl
what i didn't like, it lacked a bit more team building and friendship, and the mom/daughter relationship was a bit dry. it also maybe needed a bit more comedy like kknondae intern
as a mom watch it was good for her to have two ongoings, tho it didn't particularly excite her but it was a nice mellow watch

It took me two and a half watches, and idk how long it’s been since it aired but it took that long to motivate me to watch
This is actually my kind of story especially being based on real events, the unusual friendships and the underdogs, but idk it didn’t feel too deep and emotional it felt basic and flat, no real presence to the characters and no connection
Iu is adorable and I’ve missed her in dramaland
I don’t think her movies are that well made, tho I do blame the lack of female empowerment in movies more than dramas, you literally can’t ever find female centered movies or female characters that aren’t a side pretty face

dude went from handsome to HOT
anyways one wouldn’t expect me to say this but I wish this focused more on the romance and was just more character driven
Not character dragging
half of it was wasted on skinny foot actor, the other half was wasted on gangster plots
I don’t like fls acting or her face (acting) but they gave me 2521 vibes I wish they built it better it’s actually a sad wasted potential

seo hyun jin was AMAZING literally so amazing everything she did made me cryAnd this was going well until the third part where it just didn’t make sense anymore
There were many things they could’ve done better and it left a “unfinished” taste
Her dad getting into an accident, her caregiver turning out to be a creep, her getting lost in the mountains, finding her way back home to again almost have those mountain idiots try to take her again, the female caregiver being so condescending.. and she was the “best”?
Like, how sad was it that she had no friends, her dad’s friends never asked about her, those mountain idiots not only didn’t wonder where she went, they didn’t care she didn’t return with them
And the dad not telling the ex, I get it but dude she wouldn’t remember saying she didn’t want them to know and of course her family would care about her, I wish they had more daughter/mom moments cuz that could’ve been as heartbreaking as the dad/daughter

I’m being as generous as I can; it’d have been a 10 last year and my easy 10s but it was my 2023 resolution to stop thatSo basically, nam joohyuk was a 100/10, acting, character fit, handsomeness and oozing gorgeousness
Ahjussi oppa as well did great
The shortcomings for me is the “bad guys” and the lack of overall deep buildup
It had Bloodhounds vibes but it also lacked in making up for the shortcomings, ie bromance and more character drive
It was certainly rushed, and I do have an add on filter when bad guys chitchat and nag so they made zero impact on me
Maybe it needed a bit more victim drive, ie the sadness, tension and anger of victims
Something to add a touch of humanity
Bad guys are crazy trash but wanting to punish them deprives the human connection
People need sympathy, kindness otherwise the vigilantes are just psychopaths hidden under a hero cape
Hot psychopaths but still. Also not at iPhone for turning hot into not, it must think im crazy to use hot and psychopath in the same sentence

I like how it’s different stories, like any normal day in a person’s life, you meet people, you leave people and you never meet again, it’s realistic
Nice concept but boring fl, no consistency and the last one was just random to make this feel deep
It’s true the one day trips without any plans or expectations are the best
The fate of meeting your favorite mangaka seems more random than the fate of meeting the love of your life

Among us, squid games, Alice in borderland, all of us are dead all mixed into one drama and still no closureIt’s funny as someone who played among us, I’ve played so many games, I was the imposter, I was the accused crew, and basically I lied and deducted things way better
But just like among us after a while, it became a kids game , so this drama just feels like a teen watch but with horrible characters and worse acting

Soft fl x soft ml
Fl x 2fl
Getaway theme, healing and moving on
Even the bad people had soft hearts
The bad
Past trauma
Murder mystery
Angst
3rd fl and her love triangle
20 year mystery solved by randos
I’m glad they did say an old person ruined the dad’s alibi and that’s why he went to prison
Tho it’s sad the dad and son didn’t mend sooner, and the mom died… then grandma died…
And fl apologizing for those and things like the graffiti, more like she should’ve been angry and disappointed. She never healed her people pleaserness just found people that didn’t fully use her

tbh I only watched 1ep of pt1 so I don't feel like I missed anything. which does lower it's quality, it did not need to be that longKJW was great, tbh each "vessel" did an amazing job, I am sad I didn't see LJW's but I don't care really
idk, even if they had a "message", and yes hardships aren't as bad as you think, and no that doesn't mean your feelings of despair and crippling pain aren't real or valid.. I also don't wanna drag religion, patience is a huge deal for us, and the preciousness of the souls..
so, even if you feel pain, we endure , and yes I had depression and the things he went through before he made his decision, so those feelings aren't an exaggeration, but
this whole thing was another "message" wrapped around one big mess of overused gore, and a really complicated hilarious plot..
a psychopath, a rich spoiled brat, a scheme, hunger for money and power, the cgi.. yeah they are elements, but when woven like this, it's an eyeroll..
also, I did enjoy this cuz it had less SIG, dasom did well, but the whole character of SIG's and his acting.. any other person he went in would've been a more fun main lead
also, you can see the lack of depth and base when "death" ends up in a repeated monologue the ml was too dumb to understand.. especially when the moment he entered any of those bodies, they already "died"
non of those lives were his.. he thought he made a big sacrifice with the cop, he did make that life more fulfilling, but it was not his to sacrifice, 1, death already said he can't stop a death, so if the other cop was meant to die, both would've died.. and 2, if it was so easy, why couldn't he save his gf from a weirdly angled car in a really small road..
and thus going back to the point, everyone he went into were dead, he just gained their memories, so his mom didn't survive until age took her.. she was dead and he was punished by living in her memories and the blocked future.. so yeah she was too precious for him to "kill", and those, even if he understood a person is precious, he still did not regret those 2 last murders.. out of the 12, i guess i saw 5, so idk how hard he tried to save anyone else, tho by the cop, i'd say he never tried...
anyway, they ended it with something i hate more than sad endings.. the reset... so what? will jisu still die? will they catch the psycho ceo? would the cop hunt down the bad guys? those things happened cuz ml went into their bodies, so what? he can try his hardest to live a better more grateful life, stay by his mom, but jisu? the murders? the cop, the pyramid of evil?

It repeated the same plot line as much as they’ve been repeating that one petal scene, mystery was meh, the past connection was so meh, 2ml was so annoying, this only worked on paper as an idea
basically a waste of the actors, cuz the idea was so cute, the actors were so cute, but each ep was worse and worse
Honesty is anything going on even? Beside the murder mystery, her chasing him, him denying his feelings and her being drunk? Every single ep is all those things in repeat
I mean jdy is making a cute ml, and they like each other but kdramas fear a happy couple so they keep dragging them apar

the whole concept and pace would’ve been better as a movie cuz it brought nothing new, nothing that played with emotions, the characters didn’t bond or develop
Yeah cop dude and his sister were “human connections” but it wasn’t played enough
Was this review helpful to you?
They were scared of getting caught so they’d whisper often but they weren’t scared of “death” enough
They were a bit slow with the deduction of codes tho I used to oaky Nancy drew games often so I knew all the tricks
But the team was cute enough with the great escape, no one can beat them especially the first season where everything was fresh but the other seasons they too were enjoying it too much
These cuties in a zombie ep would be hilarious

Tbh I would’ve rated it a bit higher but idk the ending got a bit overdoneActing: 100/10
Process: 6/10
Makjang: 8/10
Past stuff: 2/10
The drama was good, the first two eps and then 10-14 were really great
But that middle 7eps were ;/ and that’s what stopped me from rating it higher
The side murders, the side drug stuff, the long chase of whodunit for them to so easily confess like a chitchat ruined the mood
The ending with the dad being the mastermind was ;/
Like all those adult dudes did such a mess, just for the dad to come in and say he was the one cuz those “kids” were ruining his plans
I was glad and worried they’d say insurance guy was the real killer :D
And it’s so sad, dr, his 3 good friends, and the villains who used him, he was a tool that was punch around and left alone, even by his wife
So it kinda didn’t make sense for me, too makjang….
Sure jisung didn’t wanna hear him out, but he was only kicked out of school, again growing pains, but that dude, became a drug dealer to heal his daughter, after rich villain ruining his kids insurance, then inferiority complex dude goes and make him a drug dealer and his “closest friend who was jealous of this dude choosing 3 other friends and not included him”, makes those drugs and blames the 3 for not being around
Like why didn’t insurance guy help more? He didn’t have a problem making a life insurance that benefits others, but couldn’t help the daughter?
And the dude couldn’t reach out, not to apologize but to say how hard his life was? That’s sad….
And the password… that was cruel.. T_T but for them to be happy over the money was also sad… like that’s the money that the dude sold his soul for, couldn’t get the second half of the password, which was his wife’s bday, and the second being his friendship day with those 3 that abandoned him T_T
He really just wanted to heal his kid, like T_T
