A Master Piece Of Suspense

Price of confession 10/10 12 eps
This K-drama completely drew me in. I felt like I was living in its world, thinking about it constantly. I would fall asleep reflecting on the episodes and go to school wondering what would happen next. The characters were so well thought of and never did anything that didn’t suit them, they were so realistic and there were times I felt like their actions were going to affect me overall showing how I was so invested in this k-drama. and the whole entire aspect and dynamics of this show was amazing. The acting was on point, it made my skin crawl, definitely felt eerie in some ways. They all thought an yunsu murdered her husband and her life started to tumble. This kept me so engaged I could not stop watching, this k-drama did everything it was supposed to do for the viewer, a psychological k-drama where they twist what actually happens and makes you mad realizing you know that wasn’t the truth making me way more invested in it. This show got my heart beating and made me completely stressed out in a good way. I absolutely love that in the beginning it had 2 perspectives on what yunsu did, one being she killed him, and the other she didn’t kill him. But at the end we found out who did it, who ruined her life. And it all made sense and formed perfectly and by the end it formed like a puzzle piece it was so satisfying to watch it all unravel. In the beginning I was highly thinking of jumping to the end to see who had done it but it would have completely ruined the experience and I would have missed so many clues and ideas. In each episode I had high emotion, lots of thoughts, pure terror in my head, heart beating it was intense and so interesting I rated all the episodes above a 7 which really shows this had no boring episodes which I started to rate it a 10 when it was nearing the end, which shows that this show didn’t stretch out the plot and make it extremely boring they made it so interesting and made me so invested it was crazy this might be my favorite crime/mystery k-drama out there that I have seen so far. I will truly miss watching this show but now I will think about this for the rest of my life. This really changed my world. It was so good and well thought, the plot was amazing. I would rewatch it if I lost my memory.

Karma Always Finds Itself Back To You

Karma 2025 6 eps 9/10
This was very interesting and such a diabolical show for me to watch but really showcased how your past mistakes can linger on and eventually give you karma like one line at the end of the show was “You can think of this as karma.” as the doctor or whatever surgeon who picked up a random side hustle was about to stab his knife into him. I really like how at the start we got random stories of these people and as the episodes went on everything started to click together like a perfect puzzle piece forming together, this show always had me thinking of how they knew each other or how someone would die. The idea of the red string theory is insane in this way, that everyone is someone connected to everyone. There were only 6 episodes but very good episodes that got me craving for more, I never really got bored because there was always something diabolical happening right in the show. But this show wasn’t a masterpiece that shocked me so maybe I would give it a solid 9/10.
“Karma will always find itself back to you.”

The Social Hierarchy Of Life

I love this k-drama it truly is a drama, it really despisers how school is because it exposes how school social status functions like a pyramid game, even without the rules being spoken out loud, because people who are popular are always the ones who are "better" in schools and have the power unlike an outcast myoung jaeun, the higher points in the pyramid were aloud to bully the F tier the ones who got not votes in the class voting system. In my opinion baek harin had no rights to create that game her reasoning "I was bullied, you were a bystander." that doesn't give her the right to bully others in her upcoming years, she held a grunge to jaeun just because she was a bystander when they were very young, which young people don't have any cognitive skills. This is the social hierarchy of the world and this show really did an awesome job showing that. And the fact that the school system is messed up, with a not a real teacher, teaching and hitting students because they tried to speak up about their harmful game everyone seemed to have no problem with, even when it was destroying friendships. And I love the way the friendships and alliances shift constantly no one is completely safe or completely evil. Ja-Eun and Soo-Ji’s bond feels real because it develops under pressure, while the higher-ranking students’ constant backstabbing shows that power is fragile. And also the game isn’t just a game like the show is saying even in the title "pyramid game." it’s a mirror of real life. Even without official rules, social hierarchies naturally emerge, showing how humans gravitate toward power and conformity, often at the expense of kindness. I loved the dynamics the character changes, crazy plot twists, high stakes, intense lore, scary fighting, horrible bullying. Just really shows how this world can be. And if you are struggling with something don't try to "overcome it by yourself." you need to talk to a trusted adult. But in the beginning of this show song sooji has many questions and wonders why they are playing the game, and she wants to get rid of the game, since its obviously harming everyone. Then she slowly gets friends that side with her, they overcome hardships and even betraying one time. And eventually they overrule the game, and the game is destroyed, because as baek harin said "this is everyone's game." now we can't do this in real life, destroy the hierarchy but this really shows how life can be with all the struggles, and learning to get help. The fact that in that whole school no teachers were trying to help except one which got kicked out at first, since she backed up sooji by saying it was the camera she placed in the room, when sooji did it because she was desperate to have someone understand their situation and be heard. This show is awesome for someone who likes drama, especially school kdrama, betrayal, hardships, social hierarchy's, emotion, life, school, action, friends, overcoming problems. And I love all of those in a k-drama so I do really think this show was amazing and it was a perfect thing to watch since I watched all 10 eps in 4 days I was very invested showing that I truly was interested in this crazy kdrama, a reflection on the real world.

Atmosphere Over Story

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with this k-drama. The concept really intrigued me, especially since it was compared to The Price of Confession, which I enjoyed a lot. At first, I liked how the drama focused on small details and symbolism, which made watching engaging, but around episode 3 the pacing began to drag with slow and sometimes boring dialogue. I understand it’s meant to be a slow burn, and since that isn’t my preference, I was hoping for a stronger payoff by the end, but the twists did not work for me and threw off the overall vibe. I did appreciate the symbolism and how the drama showed that people from very different backgrounds can end up living similar lives, and the OST was a standout with its eerie and atmospheric sound. The acting, especially from the main characters, felt realistic and strong, but the lack of suspense, too many unanswered questions, and underused potential of the main setting made the story feel weaker than it should have been. Overall, Lies Hidden in My Garden had great atmosphere and performances, but its pacing and execution made it a disappointing watch for me.

Trash

I really didn’t enjoy Killer Paradox. I watched it because the idea sounded interesting, but the execution was awful. The pacing was all over the place, and it never managed to grab my attention. I was bored most of the time, which is a huge problem for a thriller, especially one that’s supposed to be suspenseful and gripping.

The plot itself was confusing and frustrating rather than intriguing. The characters felt flat, their motivations made little sense, and instead of building tension, the story just dragged. On top of that, there are gross, unnecessary scenes that have nothing to do with the actual story/plot, completely pointless and distracting.

Honestly, I don’t get why people enjoy it. I think it tried to be clever, but it came off as sloppy and unpolished. They definitely needed a better writer its sad that a decent idea went to waste. I really wanted to like this, but I can’t. I wouldn’t recommend it at all there are way better thrillers and K-dramas out there that actually keep you invested.

Overhyped and Underwhelming

Episode 1 of The Glory actually had me interested and I thought this could be a really good thriller. But the rest of the show is such a disappointment. I quit after episode 5 because it’s painfully boring and completely wastes the potential it set up in the first episode. It drags so much that it’s hard to stay invested, and the story never delivers on the thriller promise.

The characters aren’t compelling, the pacing is all over the place, and instead of tension or excitement, you get endless slow scenes that add nothing to the story. Honestly, I felt like I was just staring at the screen, waiting for something to happen that never did.

Everyone seems to love this show, but I don’t. I found it overhyped, underwhelming, and frustrating. If you were expecting suspense or a gripping story, this is not it. Save yourself the time and skip this one. There are plenty of K-dramas that actually know how to keep you on the edge of your seat.
