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.

Thrilling show that has some dystopian elements
From the get go the show caught my attention and i was never bored for each episode. Everything was done well from start to finish, and the development of the main character was wonderful.They show you two sides of the same coin but how vastly different they both ended up in life. The Hero and The Villain. Both with similar backstories yet completely different till the end. Such a captivating story.
The ending had me crying too, it was so wholesome! I love how the main character served as a symbol of peace in the end. If Trigger ever gets a season 2, I will definitely be tuning in!

captivating, interesting, WILL keep you seated
bro im TELLING you kdramas with 6 episodes or 8 are always the best. Short kdramas give you just enough and leave you wanting more, its so frustrating!!!the ending made it seem like there’s going to be a season 2 (i certainly hope so).
everything was just so good. i have nothing to complain about, it was interesting and entertaining and every episode had me curious and awaiting the next episode. i’m so sad a kdrama with this much of an interesting plot might be discontinued. although there isn’t much for them to do in season 2 since every conflict is basically finished, i really did wish we got to see the aftermath a bit more.
really good kdrama! i was invested!!

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.

Funny in its own way
I started this because of some clips that went viral on TikTok. Tendo was so cute and funny that i just NEEDED to watch this.It had good humor and good action scenes, the scene with a zombie shark surprised me but it was such a good fighting scene. I’m really happy they didn’t unnecessarily kill important characters like Kencho for example.
Throughout the movie I thought they would sacrifice him for shock value like they usually do in zombie movies but i’m really happy none of that happened.
I’m also really happy that they remained as a trio together. Such a cute friendship between each of them!!! And i’m glad Tendo got to have his dream job in the end hehe

It’s an okay movie
I don’t often watch movies or shows that aren’t korean but i decided to switch it up today since it kept getting promoted on netflix.The movie wasn’t BAD per say but it wasn’t that good either (in my opinion).
I feel like this movie was so exaggerated and so many things kept happening at once that I think at some point during the movie I just completely forgot what the main plot was or what the hell was happening at all😭.
Though i can’t lie it was extremely funny at times, some scenes had me giggling so it made it watchable.
The acting isn’t that bad either so that made it a bit more bearable as well.
Overall it isn’t something I would watch again but if you’re a fan of these type of movies or these actors then you might like it a lot.
On another note i’m glad I tried watching something else for once. Might’ve not been my cup of tea but I finished it so that counts for something!

captivating
i wasn’t expecting much of an military based kdrama but holy shit this one catches your attention.the only complaint i have is that its too fuckin short. whose idea was it just to give 6 episodes?? I mean i’ve watched a lot of short kdramas before, like weak hero class. And isn’t it usually the standard to make short shows atleast 8 episodes but when i saw it end so suddenly…i’m mad. but atleast there’s going to be a s2!
i can’t give the show much criticism because like i said it doesn’t even feel like i watched the show properly and just gave up mid show. but its good, i promise it’s a good kdrama.

SO GOOD
Man I didn’t know what to expect watching this show but one thing for sure is that it frustrates you…A LOT!So many things happen at once that at some points I needed to pause the show and take a breather. Definitely another exhausting watch but in a good way! It tires you out along with the characters, you’re not the only one fed up with everything, so are the characters and that’s what makes you connect with the characters.
I was hoping for a cliffhanger so it could hint at another season because seriously the main characters’ chemistry is no joke. Both of them worked so well together and I wish they would play more roles together!
On another note, the ending was extremely satisfying. Even though it was frustrating, everything paid off in the end. Seriously great kdrama!

Time Travel realness
This is actually a drama I just recently finished and wow.I really wasn't expecting to like it this much, but it really didn't disappoint!
Im usually a sucker for time travel kdramas and this one..wow this delivered everything and more that i needed.
The regret of changing the past, how the smallest things can change the biggest outcomes in your life, and what i rellay found unique is how they didn't go back to their old life yet they actually used this time travel to their own benefit and found a way to be happier than when they were before the travel.
It teaches you a lesson that your fate is written with a certain person, and they are simply your soulmate and you can't do anything to change that fact!
Really recommend this! It will not leave you bored!!
