You will cry

I don’t know if I was too emotional watching this today but honestly I cried for almost every scene with Mija and Okja…

Part of me felt connected because me and Mija’s names are similar, and also since i’m a huge animal lover. I don’t know, it struck my heart.

I can’t help but feel unsatisfied with the ending albeit it being realistic to some extent. I watched this movie for the first time when it came out but I didn’t remember much from it except for the factory part. I decided to rewatch it today solely to remind myself of how it is.

I know them saving the whole super pigs isn’t realistic or palpable especially in the short amount of time, hell they would probably need a whole new movie for that, and even then the new movie would probably need a new movie to get some damage on the company.

I’m happy Okja and Mija got their happy endings with each other, but still my heart aches everytime I remember that there’s still those super pigs suffering and dying for those horrible peoples profit.

I don’t know, maybe I did get a bit too emotional. But I can still feel my heart ache a lot.

It’s also 3am…lol

Okay being completely honest here, I started this kdrama because of Rowoon but man...this kdrama was so boring. Most of the time the plot just kept circling around and doing the same thing over and over again. I was just praying it would get a little bit more interesting as episodes kept playing. And if Im being honest the main characters who ended up together in the end didnt even seem all that much in love with each other lol...it just seemed like they tired each other out before their relationship could even start. But I digress.. If the kdrama wants us to believe that they got married happily ever after then so be it! Not many likeable characters in here though...really had a tough time liking anyone.

a MUST watch

i started this kdrama a couple of hours ago and i finished it all in one sitting. its very rare nowadays for a kdrama to catch my attention like this, but jesus christ this was one of the most interesting eye catching kdramas ever. not one episode was boring and each cliffhanger ending made me want more. such a difficult watch because of how the violence and sometimes you get frustrated watching it— but it’s just something you can’t keep your eyes off. acting was phenomenal especially from the actor of sieun, the performance when he finally brokedown and yelled in school before punching the window in the corridor struck my heart with pain. everytime he would express sadness i would feel it with him…just amazing casting. on a side note: what i felt was unnecessary was youngyi’s sudden involvement into their friendship? perhaps thats why i was on beomseoks side for a while even though at some point i just stopped defending him and slowly started to dislike him, i still feel zero connection with youngyi…her character feels so unnecessary if we don’t look at beomseoks jealousy. but i guess she was only needed for stirring stuff up with beomseok for the sake of the plot but still it just felt so random that they befriended her…overall such a great show. sieun and sooho have the best chemistry out of everyone in the show. you can just tell they care for each other a lot…love those two the most<3

Speechless. In a bad way

I have legit nothing to say.

So much frustration, so many years pent up thinking it’ll be a solid ending. I guess i’m dissatisfied because it’s not a satisfying revenge ending, but this whole thing honestly felt like a ddakji slap in the face. It made us all watch this with hopeful optimism for a good ending, only for it end like that. And to think that nobody paid for their sins…I guess it’s the cruel truth of the reality. But even if it is reality, I’m not obligated to like it. I wish it had a satisfying ending.

Cate Blanchett was a cool little cameo though.

Cool concept at first, got a bit boring in the end

I started this show after finding out its plot from TikTok, it seemed to be interesting and a really cool never done before plot before.
I mean you don’t often get kdramas based in Heaven lol

It was pretty entertaining in the beginning and I looked forward to new episodes until somewhere around ep8/9 things just started to be a bit repetitive and boring.

The flashbacks they would give about the characters’ lore was so confusing and all over the place and it just seemed to create misunderstandings more than answers.

And it felt like they sorta left some plotholes here and there but they weren’t so big for me to nitpick about, but overall it wasn’t that hard of a watch even though I sorta forced myself to finish the last ep 😭

It was cute and good enough…still can’t lie it got boring towards the end.

Good cast, good show

i watched this with my friend so my review of this show might seem a bit biased since i enjoyed it very much. maybe because i was with my friend watching it or maybe because the show was really enjoyable to watch.

regardless i do remember starting the show and immediately getting hooked on it. every character that was introduced was fun, interesting and had a good plotline.

the only character i didn’t really like was sijun because he was the biggest debby downer of the show and he remained that way till the end. no character development seemed to have happened with him except for the ex plot. which also seemed a bit icky in my opinion but they did show a very realistic part of life.

i genuinely thought they would get back together but as much as i lowkey rooted for them in the end, im glad they didn’t end up together. it was realistic and both of them didn’t fit each other anymore. it made sense.

now onto the main characters, i really have no complaints there. the pairing seemed so random (actors wise), i only saw wooshik in one romcom kdrama which was our beloved summer and i throughly enjoyed that , but this was amazing too. wooshiks comedy timing is incredible and he never failed to land a joke.

boyoung is amazing as always of course, she’s the queen of romcom shows ! i loved her performance. she does ‘empty’ type characters so well, well enough to keep you interested and to not just see them as a boring character whose personality was only being nonchalant all the time.

it was a lovely show that showed both grievance and acceptance of our loved ones passing away. the show handles it with humor and melancholy, both balanced just enough.

i really enjoyed this show. it was funny, romantic, sad and it showed real things from real life. actors were amazing, and that one scene between the main characters where they were in the middle of the street during a sunset, what a beautiful scene…i still remember it. the colours, the background, the kiss. everything was beautiful.

not much to complain about. its worth the check out.

Cute, funny, romantic, and a lot of k-drama references

Honestly when the show ended I was a bit disappointed because it felt like it ended in the middle of an episode. You know how at the end of a show they show everyone’s endings and wrap it up so you could assume what happens next with the characters, but everything felt so open ended? I don’t know if that was the intention but it didn’t feel like it was. I genuinely watched the last ep fully convinced there was gonna be an ep 13 and 14 cause I was curious about the second leads and main leads future. Oh well. I guess this shows that the show was good since it kept me interested and invested in everyone’s plotlines.

The story itself was new, I never really saw a concept like this where I wouldn’t find the trope weird. (When they somehow involve the ‘sibling’ title to love interests) I really hoped they wouldn’t make it look morally wrong by making the ML consider the FL’s mother like his. And although he did, they atleast kept it distant from the FL so the couple never considered each other siblings (unlike Her Private Life trope..).

Overall, I would say my favourite part of the show was the second couple(CEO and Writer), I swear they were the reason I wanted to continue watching. They were so cute albeit their scenes would sometimes look awkward, but I sweaaarrr their trope is so adorable!!And I didn’t expect them AT ALL!!Which is why they intrigued me the most.

The third lead couple wasn’t really my cup of tea but I did root for them. They’re one of the main reasons I wanted atleast 2 more eps so I could see how their story pans out.

Overall I loved most of the characters there. I didn’t like the ending much but it’s worth watching.

perfect movie

man where do i begin…
first off, i started this movie because i kept seeing edits of it all over tiktok (yeah my source is tiktok unfortunately 😞) but doesn’t matter because either way i’m grateful i got introduced to this banger of a movie.

the beginning of the movie was lowkey insane and confusing, me and my friend watched it together and we kept having theories of what was going to happen and what was happening throughout it, it was really fun to try and guess how predictable it is.

regardless of its predictability, theres a whole other side to the movie in which you will NOT be able to predict…like…at all…😭 the movie takes the craziest turns and then mellows it out by giving us a sweet coupley scene and then something crazy happens again- the thing is, i would’ve thought this whole movie is just a big nothing burger if it wasn’t funny- but the movie is HILARIOUS!!! 😭 like genuinely, i don’t think i’ve ever laughed this much at a korean movie. their humor back in the day was truly unmatched.

although this movie was like, 2hours, swear it did not feel like it was that long at all. it went by so fast and after it ended it made you feel that strange empty feeling. that feeling that gets you like “oh man, i wish this didn’t have to end.” that type of feeling.

this movie also doesn’t have any kissing scenes or anything of that nature which honestly surprised me since it kept going in the most provocative direction in the beginning (and honestly throughout the movie too) , the entire thing was so adorable and incredibly done. the plotwist in the end had left both me and my friend in shock and excitement- although it gets you a bit frustrated by the time the couple clearly fall for each other, the story has a very beautiful ending that makes the entire movie come together in a beautiful way.

the chemistry between the actors was also a thing to note, so beautiful, till this day i have no idea how actors don’t fall for each other when they have these type of roles lol

overall, the movie is great! comedy, romance and entertainment- you have it all packaged right there. the only reason i didn’t give it a ten is because some parts of the movie were a lil too weird for me (and somehow brushed away lol, like the constant motel scenes and the ML’s lowkey pervvy thoughts throughout the movie although im glad they didnt make it into a huge part of his personality) and the movie was honestly super confusing at times that i genuinely had trouble figuring stuff out , the cut scenes were sometimes a bit sudden and would leave you confused but i guess that was the movies whole point since its very uhhhh,,, well, you just gotta watch the movie to get it!

nonetheless, i won’t act too nitpicky, the movie was really good and thats all you need to know- the nitpicks i pointed out are just some things that bothered *me* personally but overall its really good and i enjoyed it very much. i was invested the entire time and loved both of the characters despite them both being crazy lol.

super great movie! and if you love old-esque looking movies + korean movies then you’re especially going to enjoy this! (lil tip, you can watch this entire movie on youtube…thats what me and my friend did lol…enjoyyy)

two crazy people falling in love!!

AGHHHH i love this show so much!!!

Its exactly like the title says “mad for each other”, and the two love interests were certainly crazy and mad for each other LOL

i didn’t expect myself to love this show as i would, but every episode was freaking hilarious and so fun to watch.

to break it down for you *starts break dancing*

okay for real, to break it down, its essentially a woman with some sort of OCD/ PTSD disorder who falls in love with a cop whos got anger issues.

when those two were first introduced i was curious on how they would make a MAN with ANGER ISSUES…seem like a good lovable character. but oh my god. I LOVED HIM.

both characters are most certainly insane and the shows title didn’t lie one bit. but their craziness was done well because it blended well with the humor and it evened it out.

this show was seriously silly and funny, there’s many moments that made me laugh, especially the ending where they made up 😭 you’ll see what i mean if you watch it!

overall, the characters in the beginning were frustrating (especially the FL) but its obvious that that was the whole point of it. so it didn’t bother me, because thats how she was meant to be lol.

but other characters (such as the women neighbours) were also a little annoying in the beginning but they had their development once a man who dresses up as a woman was introduced and they learned to accept him for who he was.

thats also something i wanted to mention, its how the ML was always so supportive and open to that neighbour characters choice of dressing up as a woman and being referred to as a woman. everyone in the show didn’t show any transphobia or homophobia, it was refreshing.

such a well done show, everyones dynamics with one another was flowing smoothly and i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.

the one little nitpick i have is the makeup in the show, i think the FL had so much concealer that it was painfully cakey whenever she was on screen, sometimes i could even see the makeup on the ML, but like i said its a small nitpick of mine. it didnt bother me THAT much but i kept noticing how at the moments where the FL should look distressed and as if she has no makeup on, she clearly has makeup on and its cakey! 😭 but that doesn’t matter fr, the rest of the show was really good.

i recommend it!!

Forbidden Romance love story

I’m going to start off by saying that, I started this show like maybe in 2022 and then dropped it for a year- and then I realised I stopped it at like episode 13 and I was soooo close to finishing it, so I started it up again. Half of stuff that happened in the show I forgot already BUT, I really don’t understand why I dropped it when the show is actually really good?

I think once the story went from North to South, it did get a little boring and it seemed like the story kept circling around the same problem- which is the brother wanting to kill Se-ri and the forbidden love between her and the North Korean guy. (Forgot his name sorry 🙈) But after finishing this K-Drama, I really regret dropping it mid ending, I feel like it would’ve been much more impactful and also, despite the fact that I forgot so many things when I started it again- I still cried so much ?!😭 ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT GUY DIED! I’m not going to reveal who (although I also forgot his name so…😭) but I was so upset, literally what was the reason!!! Such a stupid and unnecessary thing honestly, that’s probably the only thing I disliked about the show- other than the fact that some things were a little dragged out.

Anyway I found out the main characters actually got married in real life and have a kid😭 Which makes so much sense because their chemistry was definitely chemistry-ing, such a beautiful couple!

Alright so, what I took from this is that- the show isn’t bad at all, it has a good plot and you know whats happening. I think the reason I got bored with it was because this story does really focus a lot more on the romantic aspect of the show- basically the love between Se-ri and the North Korean, and although of course there IS action BUT it is not as nearly a reoccurring thing like romance is. So much cheesiness, not just between the main characters but side characters as well.

So if you’re in a mood for a cheesy romance story which gives it a little spice because it’s forbidden…this K-Drama is for you!

Movie that makes you feel like you’re constantly on edge

Alright to be fair I kind of didn’t know what the hell was going on throughout the movie but that was just because I watched it on an app that translated it really badly- so most of the time I just had to guess what they were trying to say LMAO

But , I do have to say this movie kept me on my toes. I wanted to start this mainly because of Kim Seonho because I Looooove his acting, and he definitely showed how much of a versatile actor he is, because after seeing him in such a serious/badass light- I want to see him in a romantic one too!!

Anyway to go back to the movie, I really liked the concept and the theme of it, although I think the pacing was a little messy because half of the time I got confused about what the hell was happening, unless that was the point of the movie…then they did a great job.

Towards the end though, I wish they gave a little bit more of a solid reason why Seonhos character decided to help Marco instead of the whole ‘they’re both from the same organisation’, like why the sudden change of heart? He was going to earn money either way. But I guess that doesn’t really matter, the story wasn’t about him I guess.

And I also wished they maybe explained why the fake dad was so insistent on Marco to stay, they had me seriously convinced that they were father and son— unless that old man just wanted him to stay to get his surgery lol…

Anyway the thought of being in that situation is honestly terrifying but the plotwist was crazy, but nonetheless a very sweet ending.

I also can’t help but wonder if maybe Marco and Seonhos character could be related? But maybe those were just my hopes speaking. They look nothing alike to be related LOL but still, they have the potential I guess.

Overall the movie was pretty entertaining , a bit confusing but good. Kim Seonho doesn’t disappoint! Very good action movie!!

girl gets her bestfriend and cheating husband back, KARMA IS REALLLL

When I tell you, from start to finish I was soooo deeply invested in this story. I remember first finding out about this story through webtoon, people posting screenshots of a woman who has cancer finding her husband cheating on her with her childhood best friend. Its so deeply fried inside my brain that even though I’ve never read the webtoon, I still remember thise screenshots of the story.

And then when I heard its getting a live action? DUDE YES!

Like not one episode was boring.

I saw a lot of people dropped the show because they didn’t like the male lead, but honestly ever since I saw him in Mr.Queen I literally thought he was so handsome, and seeing him get a role that’ll get him recognised made me so happy! And I believe he did a very well job and I enjoyed his scenes with Jiwon.

Alright so overall, really good revenge plot- everything was just so satisfying. The thing is, I LOVE, time travel and revenge plots- and these two being mixed together?! Literally best thing ever. I promise you, you won’t regret watching this. Though the show isn’t a ten for me because there are some plotholes, like, they never explain why Jiwons fate fell on her ex boyfriend and not on Sumin? I guess Sumin always had her own fate of ending up in jail I guess?

Also I guess you could say the way things ended in the end were a lil TOO perfect, like how did everything just fall into place perfectly 🤣 Everyone who was single had a partner and got married and has kids like🤣🤣 But I digress, I was really happy for Jiwon because holy shit, she really deserved the happy ending after going through all of that.

ALSO, was the ex manager (forgot his name but the guy who was an asshole at work), did he turn gay in the end? Because wdym he found his true self after love failed him….🤭 I won’t jump to conclusions here but since this K-Drama is filled with villains, the least one I expected to have a redemption arc was the manager and it was so wholesome! I guess the ex classmates too but if I’m being honest their presence in the story wasn’t that special, when they showed up again I literally forgot who they were until I saw the girl in the middle and I memorised her cus she’s pretty lol…

Okay that’s all, I think the story was so cool- I wasn’t bored and I was so excited to wait for the new ep every time. If you’re like me and love revenge plots (as well as time travel), this is your show!!!

Good survival show

I’ve been putting off watching this show since it came out, despite the fact that my friends kept telling me to watch it because when I recommended it to my mom, she told me the show is stupid so I took her word for it and just never looked back.

But today my friend told me to watch sweet home for them because season 2 is coming soon, and i was like eh why not, I have nothing to watch right now anyway, and WOW!!

This show does NOT disappoint. There were certain things that confused me at first like, why did the virus effect you when it wanted, or how come some viruses are more powerful than others and why are they using headphones and what not. (Google helped me out with these questions lmao) The reason I put it as 9.5 is because the show itself is AMAZING, world building and character development as well as relationships and the action scenes, everything is so well done, but the aspect that I found the most goofy were the monsters.

I don’t know I just can’t take the monsters seriously at all. The CGI isn’t bad but it’s just that they look like they came out straight out of a kids show, so it took the seriousness out of the show for me a bit. But otherwise I enjoyed the show a lot, despite the monsters being funny looking, it’s worth sticking around. I’ll start season 2 now!!

Well…

It’s exactly what it is. Erotica combined with a tragedy.

Honestly I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this, I went into this movie blind but I knew it was in the erotica category. I was just curious because of the actress since I saw her in The glory the first time and liked her ever since. She did such a good job once again even in this movie.

I could definitely tell there was chemistry between the actors and the longing was something even I felt through the screen.

As for the uh, ‘erotic’ scenes, I mean I don’t know I kept laughing at it 😭 I don’t know maybe i’m just a little too immature for it still but the plot and sneaking around bit was what kept me watching.

I feel bad for the wife, she truly never blamed the mistress or her husband. She’s definitely my favourite character in the movie. On a side note the ending was actually heart breaking, I kinda called it though, I knew one of them was going to die.

But regardless a pretty entertaining watch.
