I started this Kdrama because of Choi Wooshik and i really wasn't disappointed. Later I found out Kim Taehyung made an OST for this kdrama and once I heard the song play in the episodes i literally couln't contain my excitement. Overall the plot is really sweet and the pace was really well done as well. I don't think anything was rushed and everything fell into its place in time. The two love birds falling in love with each other and sharing a lovely kiss in the rain just like their first kiss really makes your heart skip a beat. I loved the documentary bit as well, how the universe needed them to get together again. Forced proximity is one of my favourite genres so this was really enjoyable. Second lead was also very likeable- on both sides. The famous idol girl and the guy who films, I liked them all. Really cute kdrama, I recommend it if you like sweet romance kdramas like this!

Really interesting plot, I really liked it and the pace of the show. Balanced between humor and seriousness very well. I loved the character development even though I felt a bit disappointed about the druggie going back to prison and relapsing, I feel like thats a huge plothole in the show and I was really confused why they just made that happen without ever talking about it again. His development felt really wasted , for most of the show it was him getting better and then he just..chooses to relapse again? Really made me mad, but whatever, not that big of a deal. Its a pretty cool concept and I recommend it.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS

No because.... what was the point of this kdrama!? It ended so abruptly with a confusing ending...
Is the magician a schizophrenic who genuinely thought he had real powers!? Did he lowkey seduce a high schooler!? LIKE WHAT WAS HAPPENING:::: Why did they hint at them getting together when shes clearly younger than the magician...and the poor second lead oh god you guys need to give hwang inyeop a break!!! Honestly though I really liked the side plot with the main girl and second lead, they seemed so adorable but the ending ruined it honestly...I was so confused by the ending. It felt like they just ended it because they couldn't be arsed to go on with it. The plot had some potential though...it's weirdness is what made me watch till the end LOL

Whats so special about it?

Its gotten so popular out of nowhere and I assume its because of its great cast but this kdrama was such a drag and bore throughout most of the episodes. I guess you really have to love these characters to enjoy most of its episodes but I just couldn't bring myself to find anything interesting. I do admit though that at the end of the episodes like the last few episodes roped me in and I really enjoyed it! So I guess I enjoyed their adult years more than when their story spoke about their teen years which was most of the show...I also found the main characters' relationship weird mostly because of when they met she was underage and he was older. I think those two would've remained best if they always stayed as friends and I'm glad they didn't end up together in the end because there was simply no chemistry between them, in my opinion.

2022 WHC fans…get ready for tears

Man…

Where do I even begin this?

I’ve been waiting since 2022 for a season 2. Though as much as I wanted to rate this a 10/10 like I did with season 1, it just simply doesn’t compare. And if im being totally honest, the entirety of these episodes up until episode 8, they were extremely exhausting.

It stressed you out for no reason and just kept getting your hopes up just to squash it down, time and time again. It was fine the first two times it happened but then I realised there was a pattern that kept repeating itself throughout the episodes which was the fight scenes constantly edging you on only to end anti climactic in some sort of way. It’s very obvious that they tried to pack up hundreds of webtoon chapters into one season since a lot of things were rushed and happened all at once. I think they handled it well though, I’m trying to look at this from an unbiased view since this was the most anticipated show for me after waiting for 3 years and I genuinely wasn’t that disappointed. Obviously season 1 and season 2 show completely different stories, and my favourite character—Suho, was left behind in the past which is probably why I ended up enjoying it just a tiny bit less.

But as episodes went on, I grew to like the new characters as well which is what I meant by when I said that I think they did well for packing hunderds of chapters into 1 season. It could’ve been a lot worse and halfassed.

With that being said, I’m gonna say a major spoiler now.

I am so incredibly happy that they showed Suho in the last episode. Awake.

I cannot stress enough how worthy it was to do that. I don’t think I could’ve handled another plotwist where the show ended and Suho remained in coma. The episodes were incredibly exhausting but episode 8 was like an anecdote for that stress and it washed everything away. The feeling of relief, happiness and a feel like something has finally been settled inside my soul. It sounds silly when I talk about fictional characters like this, but this show means a hell of a lot to me.

So to the writers, genuinely, thank you for bringing Suho back.

Now I don’t know if this is actually the end to whc but I wholeheartedly hope not.

The last bit in episode 8 gave me a bit of a hope that a season 3 might be in talks. Although I don’t know how far the webtoon has come but I genuinely wish a season 3 would happen. Because although I’m happy with Suhos brief return, it was too short and I hope to see them again like in season 1 one day.

Well…

I mean it’s exactly as what’d you’d expect especially if you watched strong woman do bongsoon first.

Personally I found this show pretty entertaining but I felt really sorry for the villain Ryo Shio. I wish they would’ve given him a happy ending honestly.

There isn’t much for me to touch on, I think the show was really silly at times and funny but I guess that’s the genre it is in general.

I think they made nam soon a little too much hyper and quirky and made it a bit cringe.

The cop was cute but compared to Ryo Shio he didn’t seem to have much of a personality…Or maybe I just inevitably choose villains over heroes but!

Overall I actually would LOVE a season 2 because of the cliffhanger at the end. So you’re telling me there’s a guy with the power too? Such a good plotwist.

I would love to meet the new character! However i’m not sure if this show will get renewed but who knows, it only recently ended.

It’s a quirky show really, same premise as the OG, nothing special. But cute and good for keeping you entertained when bored.

Booktok Type Romance

I saw someone in a comment section describe it as that, and they got it spot on. This is the first time I’ve seen a K-Drama show a couple with enough angst, tension, romance, sadness, yearning all in one.

However, the plot was confusing half of the time. They did too many flashback scenes and never really elaborated and relied on the viewers to figure it out for themselves, which isn’t bad per se but they kept piling on information on you that would contradict some of the scenes they’ve shown as a piece of puzzle for you to understand.

I don’t like how some K-Dramas explicitly say what’s going on in the story and it takes a good script writer to show the plot without explicitly saying in words what it is but for this Kdrama it felt like I needed that, since the flashbacks and reveals were all over the place and completely confusing.

Another thing I wanted to complain about was, the ending where they blatantly mentioned Israel and Palestine during their wartime. I feel like so many new Kdramas keep doing this shit where they do something racist or add something political (as in, something thats currently politically happening in the world), what’s worse is that they seemed to have made Palestine the villain and Israel the victim which is clearly, not the case right now. It just seemed extremely tone deaf, if they needed a story there they could’ve easily made up something. The K-Drama would’ve been a 9 if it wasn’t for that. But oh well.

Overall it was pretty good, I liked the side characters and I liked how they didn’t pin the sisters against each other because of a man. When Ina returned I was afraid they would make her the villain but fortunately she wasn’t. I like how they gave everyone a nice story and wrapped it up without leaving you wondering what happened to the rest of the characters.

But yes, some things could have easily been avoided. But oh well.

Another must watch!

I’m going to be completely honest and say that i binged all 20 episodes in a span of 3 days. Which is insane. I’ve never binged a 20 episode kdrama so fast before, it just shows how good it is!

Every episode fills you with anticipation for the next episode. Character building and plot pace both so well done, I literally have no complaints!

All of the actors did so well too, I like every ship and dynamic they added in the show.

I really hope there’s going to be a season 2, I know the actors would do a good job again!

Really good show! You won’t be disappointed watching it!!!

Suuuper long revenge plot…buckle in dawg

Honestly I didn’t expect to like this show. I’ve grown a habit of starting K-Dramas that were released years ago and decided to go for this one since I liked law/revenge plots.

But also I wasn’t aware of this show being a revenge plot like at all. I mainly started it since the premise of the show mainly revolved around prosecuters who work in a unit for sexual abuse against women and children.

These type of Kdramas are always heavy and difficult to watch considering the theme of the show is heavy in itself, but Korea has the tendency to make great shows revolved around the law (which is quite ironic since their laws are absolute shit lol).

This Kdrama has pleasantly surprised me and I honestly believe it deserves a 10. This might be me viewing this a bit personally at the same time since I started this at a time I really needed a distraction from life and it created exactly that, a good distraction.

So many things happen in this show that it keeps you preoccupied and even guessing who’s guilty and who’s not as well. Their cliffhangers were pretty predictable most of the times and even one of their biggest cliffhangers wasn’t even that big of a shock(the mother being alive), but I still had a good time watching it and seeing so many crimes uncover and how most of the crimes shown end up being connected somehow and creating one big case that leads up to the climax of the villain finally getting caught.

I loved the characters, but my first complaint starts with how overpowered they made the villain. I get thats the entire point of him, but half of the time it felt like he got his way in impossible ways? And sometimes they wouldn’t even elaborate how he came to get it. The biggest thing that made me laugh was how he didn’t recognise the woman he literally kept abducted for 7 years and then only like a 3 days later getting the idea to go investigate on it. Another thing that was hilarious to me was how people kept trusting him despite knowing his manipulative nature (and the fact that he literally abandons/kills people who are no longer of use to him). With that being said, the two most annoying characters in the show (in my opinion) were Ma Ideum and the villain. Which is quite funny since I find both the hero and the villain annoying. Ma Ideum’s character was pretty much designed to be annoying so I can’t be too mad at that, but damn, sometimes she really pushed my buttons.

Another small complaint I have is about the main couple. Which are supposed to be Ma Ideum and her coworker (forgot his name). Their chemistry was so good, I was honestly expecting a lot from them.

I get this show wasn’t romance centered like at all, but…just a little bit of romance..? a little?…ahhhhh what a waste. Both actors were amazing and showed great chemistry without having many romantic scenes. As much as I wished they had gotten together or into a little messy hookup or something, i’ll take the ending too, since it made me laugh. They were both adorable. And I know they would’ve been the most adorable couple on screen if they had only focused on the two!

Alas, the show’s main plot was uncovering the truth about Ma Ideums mother and catching the villain once and for all. And despite the fact that this show has a low rating (surprisingly to me), it was actually pretty entertaining to me. If you start this show for romance…don’t bother. BUT if you love detective, uncovering truths, courtroom, prosecutors, lawyers plots and tropes. You will love this! Overall. I incredibly enjoyed this show. Its currently 3am as I write this since i finished the last 3 episodes in one sitting (i was too on edge to stop), so I guess that’ll show you how invested I was lol.

Give it a try! ;)

Imagine you turn into an old version of yourself during the day

Honestly this reminded me so much of Howl’s moving castle. Though the premise isn’t the same (where the character in the anime was old constantly and only young again when she accepts herself for herself), the concept of the FL turning into an older version of herself still held the similarity together.

This was such a weird concept for a K-Drama especially since the FL was going to work for the ML whilst simultaneously liking him- which means the older version of herself crushed on the normal young ML, plus the second lead also crushed on her and even showed fondness of her when she was an old lady? It’s so silly and although describing it like that sounds crazy, I guess watching it made it look a little less creepy lol..

So the FL turned into an old lady during the day and back to herself during the night. I always wondered how the ML and the parents never questioned once why they couldn’t see her during the day. I get being busy because of work (since that was her only excuse), but still…this lasted for so long and nobody questioned it?! Especially the ML…considering the fact that he’s a prosecutor who also investigates a little on the side, how was he not questioning this sooner? But I digress.

Overall I really enjoyed the show, it was hilarious!!! I recognised the ML actor immediately because of Mr.Queen K-drama. He’s such a good actor for comedies, I wish he gets casted in more future shows- and please…give him roles similar to Mr.Queen…the bland/cold ML personality types don’t suit him imo. The only time he looked good in the show was when he blushed and giggled over the FL hehe

On another note, I loved the main couple so much that the second lead didn’t tug on my heartstrings at all. Maybe a little bit but the show made it clear that the FL never had feelings for the second lead so it was easy to ship her with the ML.

And also, man…I don’t know how to feel about the best friend with the older guy who’s best friends with the ML…they just…do not fit AT ALL.

He looks like he could be her dad…genuinely the last thing I thought would happen. Did the writers write that in last minute? There was no spark between them the first time they met and then the second time suddenly something happened? Lol…I don’t know, it just felt so random and maybe it was added for comedy purposes but the fact that they’re serious about it made it a little uhhh…I don’t know, uncomfortable I guess.

She looks in her mid 20s and he looks in his early 50s…she’s a naive youtuber and he’s an old dude who was already divorced once. Don’t really get the appeal of them getting together.

Anyway, I’m rating this high because this is the K-Drama that got me out of my K-Drama block. I was struggling to finish everything I started but this one caught me good. I loved it! Comedy in here was top tier, I laughed a lot, especially in the last episode where ML placed his hand on the cactus while trying to flirt with the FL LMAOOO

Overall pretty good!!! I recommend it!

The most frustrating shit you will ever watch

Honestly I don’t even wanna review this. This was beyond frustrating, not even a moment of satisfaction in here. Granted I liked the first few episodes, even when things got ugly. But the amount of times things happened where I just wanted to scream…Not one likable character in there.

Reminded me of squid game but a clear replica of it. It isn’t bad but it pissed me off more than anything, and I hate Ryu Cheol so he was an eye sore throughout the show. Continued just out of curiosity and Chun Woohee my babygirl.

Everything else? Yeah. Nah. This was just pure rage show. Pissed me off so much that I disliked it. I didn’t even know it was possible to piss me off this much. Smh.

One of the best kdramas of 2023

I am honestly left empty after finishing this series, especially after following it since it started airing.

I’ve become a hyunwook fan since weak hero class and started following his work ever since and was so excited when i saw this promoted.

Especially since i saw that this show would be time travel!!! I LOVED IT!!!

The way the plot moved and how well everything was flowing, the friendships the tropes literally everything!!

I cried so much at how well the actors conveyed their emotions and also, i am just so happy to see deaf people and sign language representation. The fact that the actors learned it is so special, it made me want to learn it myself.

Such a beautiful show, it’s a show you just have to watch really…

Beautiful movie

I started this movie because of the edits I saw on tiktok and it’s safe to say I wasn’t disappointed at all!

The love story build up between the main characters is beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. From their first kiss to their love confession, everything was just so beautiful.

I loved how angsty their love story is the most, there was so much unsurety between them but both of them knew that they liked each other, even that boss in the end could tell they loved each other so much…

I was going to be very mad if they didn’t end up together but thankfully their love won!!!

Beautiful story!!

Angst!!!

Honestly I wasn’t expecting this movie to be so short and have such an abrupt ending.

I think it definitely should’ve been a bit longer and the ending should’ve been more solid.

The story between the two main characters completely broke my heart, the fact that they both spent years yearning for each other and never getting together…

The tension between them whenever they were alone..I felt a bit guilty for the husband, he could tell his wife also felt something towards her childhood sweetheart.

Really broke my heart…even if the movie seemed short, it tugs on your heart. They both wanted each other but couldn’t. Heartbreaking and bittersweet. No matter who they end up marrying in the end, they will always have each other in each others hearts.
