WOW. As a girl, well. This certainly made me realise a lot of things about myself. I really like this movie because of how open and understanding it is. Its also very respectful, everything is done with consent and love and limits and boundaries. I thought it would freak me out like Fifty shades of grey at first but this is definitiely much better than that horrendous movie. I also didn't expect to like seeing a woman be dominant over a man this much, it was so refreshing to see because we all know its always the men who have power over women in medias like this..

Female doms just..wow, really made me discover a whole new side to myself and it made me realise what i like!
Im not gonna go in full detail about that lol, but this movie is pretty educational and I really recommend it !!

Cried my Soul out

I really really hope for a season 2 and FAST!!
I think yesterday was its 2 year anniversary which I can't believe its already been this long??? The hell are they doing waiting this long to give us another season????
Seriously though, this kdrama will tug at your heartstrings and make you weep like a child. I even got my mother to watch this and shes not the biggest fans of kdramas but she loved this one, that says a lot!
Not one episode will leave you bored, everything is just well paced and interesting- every character has their own story and its always so beautifully told and revealed. The scene where his father died tho...Goddamn. Cried my soul out, I feel like that also felt so unnecessary even though it lowkey was necessary for the plot but whatever!!! It sucked going through that, the dad was the sweetest :(((((

This is one of those kdramas that make you feel empty once youre finished because you develop such a strong connection between the characters and feel as if youre the one living their life or atleast being a part of their life. It makes you think about your life in such a philosophical way...like was it ever that deep? Lol, it made me want to be zen about everything, like everything will be alright, why am I stressing so much when everything evetually passes? Why am I so stuck on this? Everything finds its own path and that person you're looking for will come to you one day, whether you're the type to wait or not, they will come- because fated things always happen. Your fate is not overlooked, your time will come and you will enjoy things again.

Its just such a beautiful kdrama with a beautiful message..please if you ever feel low or in need of a slightly dark yet pure kdrama, then this is it really! Every episode will not make you bored.

WOAH JUST ...WOAH

today i finally finished my mister kdrama and i….i have so many things to say about this one. first of all i got this recommended by a tiktoker, the person first said ‘this kdrama changed the way i live’ that might’ve been a little exaggerated but honestly …i did not expect it to have this much of an impact on me. i don’t speak about kdramas like this often but you could’ve probably guessed by the ones i do post that i watch romantic based dramas mostly. and dramas like my mister which don’t contain romance at all aren’t usually up my taste because i don’t like serious stuff— especially when they leave an impact on me. what i mean by that is basically they leave me with a feeling i can’t explain. i feel this way when a movie or a tv show ends in a sort of happy way but im not satisfied with it but i can’t do anything about it…and that’s how it felt with this kdrama. i’ve cried so much watching it, and i don’t cry that much when i watch shows or movies. at first my perspective on the show was romanticised, which is something i despise about my brain. why do i always have to make everything romantic?…but watching it further and getting attached to characters and realising that the point in this story wasn’t romance but the connection you make with a person. whether it be platonic or not, which was the case in here. i wanted both of the main leads to end up together which is actually a really bad idea cus of the age gap😭 but when you grow further into the story i realised just how much of an impact a non romantic ship can have on me…which has never happened before. i’m not sure what to call the main leads’ dynamic. maybe father daughter duo? but that sounds kinda fucked because the girl liked him…so i’ll just stick with soulmates. because— AGGHH i can’t explain why, you just have to watch. they care for each other so deeply when no one else did, and though there was love which was one sided- the story wasn’t focused on that. it was focused on their support for one another and how even though there was something unreciprocated separating them, they couldn’t just let go of one another like that. idk…sorry for the rant- i just really love this kdrama..yup

i feel like at start i shipped donghoon and jian as well but they’re so much more better when they grew as close friends. there’s many people saying they would’ve appreciated a ‘kiss’ or a real hug but wouldn’t have that just ruined everything? i get that donghoons wife cheated on him which is a big part of why i ended up shipping him with jian in the first place (she treated him mmuuuuuch better) but from donghoons perspective that would just be out of character and just…wrong. he has a kid he needs to still raise, making him fall in love with a 20 year old just because she showed kindness to him at his worst stage would make his character very different in my opinion. donghoon knew jian liked him but he never let that ruin what they had, and i loved that. he drew a line between them and understood that this was just a pitiful soul just like him who seeked comfort and that happened to be him ..and he seeked comfort in jian as well. thats what made this story so compelling to watch. they loved each other so much, and i truly believe donghoon might even love jian more than his own wife (which is understandable). i feel like i could rant about this kdrama forever holy fuck😭😭😭

Welp

Like I said before, Suzy bae is one of my favourite actresses of all time along with Nam Joohyuk so you'd think this'll be a biased review but if im being totally honest, this was also one of those kdramas where it was just really a drag to get through. Suzys silly acting and humor along with Joohyuks is what made it a bit more bearable tbh. Seonho as well, I love him as an actor and he did so well as well. Both of the love interests made it hard for me to choose a lane because I honestly liked Suzy with both of them! Really overall well done but it was boring at times!

Well...that was something

I'm gonna tell you rn that I already watched all three seasons and i can easily say season 1 will never be beaten. SUCH A GOOD WELL DONE KDRAMA! The drama, the subtle humor, the action, romance aaahhhhhhhhhhhh JUST YES!! A long kdrama which allows so much development between characters which is what makes it so good. BUT....Holy shit what are the last two seasons? From killing characters unnecessarily to making one of the actors literally be lowkey racist towards the black people??? Bruh,,, I know yall know what I'm talking about. Them making that guys twin be a dude w dreadlocks and talking in a blaccent was NOT it. But yeah, season 1 outsold.

Pretty Average, entertaining enough

My mom recommended this one to me so I didn’t know what to expect.
The movie itself isn’t bad per se but it was pretty confusing. It kinda borders between being like interstellar mixed with K-Movie Wonderland… I can definitely see an attempt there.

I think majority of the movie kinda failed at showing you what exactly was happening throughout the film, until the very end where they literally say it whats happening by explaining it themselves. But I guess the fun part was also trying to guess where the plot is going.

Although I’m still confused as to why she was subjected to going through a loop of finding her son (even though it was her idea that the ideal mother will be made once she finds the son) if this experiment lasted centuries and all the humans died then how was it possible for them to be made with zero complications whatsover, especially since the first thing that happened to them once they launched into the space was getting hit by the other pods exploded particles… it all just seems a little lazily done, the world ending, robots taking over… yadda yadda.. But the movie isn’t bad so… it was pretty entertaining to watch and even the loops had me curious and wondering where the movie would ultimately lead. I genuinely thought this was going to be a typical apocalyptic movie where they try to survive the flood- but its also nice to see it be something different for once other than apocalypse! So i’m not too mad but also not mesmerised or amazed by it.

Overall a good watch. Maybe would be a bit more fun watching with someone else.

Yes, please!

I am so utterly satisfied with this movie, i’m genuinely in awe still even after finishing it.

I’ve been excited for it since I saw the movie’s trailer… And my god, the movie was worth the wait.

The dancing, the chemistry, the acting, the outfits, everything! I thought it might turn out to be boring since it was about professional dancing, but my god I was proven wrong!! Every dancing sequence or scene was utterly mesmerising. It felt like I was hypnotised- to the point where I wanted to get up myself and start dancing.

The chemistry between the two main actors was butterfly-inducing. Their chemistry is definitely there and you could sense the tension, longing, yearning, acceptance, defeat, realisation all at once. It wasn’t explicit, yet it also wasn’t shy. Their love story grew subtly yet visibly, their fondness of each other was vivid and wonderful to witness.

The last few moments of the movie had me worried it might end up being sad but I was happily proved wrong. It was wonderful to watch their story unfold, even though I’m the type who usually enjoys more intimate scenes when it comes to movies like these, I can say that I was satisfied with what I was given. Once again, the chemistry was definitely there. I enjoyed every moment of this movie.

A really good watch!

You will be frustrated

As much as I disliked literally every character in this show, I can’t lie I practically binged the entire series (as much as I could since I had exams lol). It was incredibly entertaining. I mean seriously, they were annoying but they would leave you on a cliffhanger that’s way too good to ignore.

On a side note the ending was so unsatisfying. I mean, I didn’t expect a happy merry ol’ ending where everyone gets their revenge and everyone reaps what they sow but it just felt incompleted? Maybe the writers didn’t have any ideas left where to go lol… It was just so anticlimactic.

I guess they were trying to say that Baek Ahjin is alive and living like a ghost now but still. The ending felt empty, like atleast a little bit more context and background would’ve sufficied.

But overall I can’t say the show is bad just because the characters were frustrating- I mean I could but that’d be a lie because the premise of the show was so interesting! I’m a huge fan of revenge plots and although this isn’t your typical revenge story (lowkey like a bad side of revenge rather than a good one) which was new and refreshing! I recommend this show, be prepared to be frustrated to the core tho!!!

Expected a lot more honestly

I finished this movie a while ago actually but just completely forgot about it 😂😂 its so insignificant and it was quite honestly boring. It took me 3 days to finish it cause I kept pausing. Now call me whatever you want, but I’m usually not a big fan of media that over does its humor. It honestly felt like they were trying TOO hard to be funny and sarcastic… I get it was poking fun in politics yadda yadda whatever, it had almost the exact same style as Parasite but in this movie it just kinda bored me.

Great actors though. The only reason I continued and was dedicated to finish it was for my boy Hongkyung… other than that… the movie was definitely a bleh fest. Its not that good, not bad either. I did expect it to be better with that type of cast though. But oh well!

Mulan but reversed

I have never watched a cross dresser trope before so i don’t have anything to compare it to but this was a really lovely show in my opinion. I don’t watch japanese shows often so i’m not used to how overdramatised their acting and reactions are (although korean shows know to be crazy with their reactions too😭) so that bit annoyed me a little and sometimes it was too cringe to watch but i liked the overall plot of it and the development of the couple! I think its lovely how the FL fell for the girl version and the boy version! It didn’t erase the possibility of her being bisexual and it didn’t demonise the possibility of that either! And i like how the ML kept his girly side even after they started dating. Even telling her ‘i can’t be too manly’ and her accepting it wholeheartedly. Such a cute show. And very quick watch! Episodes are very short!

Need more Kbls like this

I’m not the biggest BL consumer but when I finish a BL it’s usually because it’s captivated me enough to finish it. I gave this a go after I found out Cha Woomin was here and I’m glad I did.

It’s short and sweet and usually bls like that are always fun and good. It gave me a lot of Semantic Error energy in the way it was filmed and how the actors acted and Semantic Error is my favourite BL of all time. I wish more KBLS were like this instead of overly sexualised and you can tell its made for a female audience who fetishise gay men rather than being a fan of this genre in general. This is mainly a big reason why I also can’t enjoy Thai Bl.

Anyway i’m getting way too off topic but this show was really good and it had a good build as well as a development. I’m guessing the budget wasn’t high because a lot of the things and plots in here were rushed but they did well with the time given to them. I hope more big actors star in BLs, it was nice to see a familiar face play a role like that. I hope Korea gets more open to it! Wonderful little show. Quick watch but fun and entertaining.

well…the curiosity killed the cat

found this randomly whilst looking for semantic error on HITV…i actually have no words lol, it was funny and the miscommunication had me giggling if anything but the other guy with a popsicle was what made this so much funnier 😂😂 its 3 episodes and each episode is 4 minutes long, short and funny but i can’t give it a higher rating than five lol it was still weird

okay i have to fill this review with more words but i actually have nothing else to say since the show itself was short and doesn’t rlly give you much to comment on. honestly its a fun quick watch, nothing special about it i guess
