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.

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

19 Again but Female

I’ve always found this type of trope fascinating and funny. It’s always wonderful to see an old soul operate as a younger person in the modern world and how everyone around them seems to adore them for their old fashioned taste.

Although the one inevitable thing and trope we never leave out of these…is the borderline incest. I know it adds to the ‘bit’ and comedy but man, I’ve always found it a bit weird. I’m just glad that in this movie they didn’t shy away from rejecting the grandson hardcore instead of lowkey leading ‘em on.

This movie was funny and entertaining and the actress did really well. Some bits were weird like the scene with the baby in the stroller (like What is going on???😅😅😅) or the young producer falling for the miss granny. (Although that bit isn’t THAT weird since the whole plot is showing the MC’s dilemma between staying young or going back.)

Overall it was a good movie. But beware of Kim Soohyun jumpscare at the end…eugh…😷

Farm romcom

I had high expectations for this show and although the first few episodes were entertaining and funny, it got boring really fast. i ended up lowkey forgetting i started this show and stopped watching it for like 2 months.

it had potential but it was so hard to get through especially the last 2 episodes. i feel like this show would’ve done a lot better if it released all episodes at once instead of making people wait for a new episode release.

i also didn’t really like the FL and her acting in this particular kdrama. this was my first time seeing her act so i didn’t know what to expect but most of the time i found her irritating and the whole quirky not like other girls persona doesn’t really fit her.

however i liked the chemistry between the main couple, they were very cute and delivered good scenes together, as well as the side couple! i lowkey liked the brother and the best friend more than the main one but regardless both couples were cute.

one thing that also irked me a lot was the product placements and how they would dedicate a whole ass scene to the ad. it didn’t even feel like i was watching a show??? im talking about that gummy jelly thing they were promoting like ??? the entire scene was just dedicated to them eating that shit for promotion it was so irritating. but not only that like every product placement scene was so obvious and it would take me out of the show completely… there’s some shows that incorporate product placements really well and make it go unnoticeable so its definitely possible for product placements to be good!

anyway i liked the OST, it was very cute. a lot of the times it felt like characters were trying to be overly quirky and it kinda annoyed me- even ML’s cliche broody CEO personality pissed me off 😭 but yeah the only complaint i really have is how the characters were written- otherwise it had its funny moments and i liked the dynamic between the FL and her best friend!

i don’t know if i would really recommend it because its actually nothing special but it would maybe be a good watch if you get to watch all episodes at once.

Cliche apocalypse movie

Not really extraordinary but not bad either. It’s definitely a movie you can enjoy with your family during movie night, or by yourself. I played this movie as background noise as I played my game lol, it had its moments where I would put my game down to focus on a scene but then it would get boring again, making me shift my focus.

I feel like the pacing of the story is extremely fast and everything happens at once, as if the movie couldn’t wait to be finished.

Nothing too good. It reminded me a bit of that kdrama called the black knight, the apocalyptic setting was very similar, but i’m not sure why Korea pictures the end of the world as a desert everytime 😂 I’d love to see an apocalypse movie where everything is overgrown by grass and plants for once. I get that it’s apocalyptic so they have to give a bland setting but that doesn’t mean viewers should get bored of it visually.

I won’t nitpick further, entertaining enough to watch once.

Cunty sweet gay musical/short film

I don’t have much to say about this since its so short but this movie is so far ahead of its time and I know i’m not the first one to say that about this short film.

I knew Lee Jehoon was in this movie but I didn’t know Yeon Woojin was in it. Two popular Kdrama actors in an LGBT movie.

I understand how much significance their small roles could’ve made for a conservative Korea at the time, and this made me view the actors differently. I genuinely hope they start opening up to lgbt shows with popular kdrama actors from now on.

Even in 2025 they keep censoring gay relationships (especially lesbian). Can’t believe they haven’t progressed much even after this banger dropped!

Though it was lowkey surreal lol I didn’t know what was happening during those singing montages but it was sweet. I’m glad the couple ended up together despite being caught. Very cute and quick watch.

Get ready to be hardcore queerbaited

This was originally promoted as a GL which is primarily why I was excited about starting this show in the first place. I mean I wasn’t surprised when I found out that they ended up censoring out most of the plot but it still felt so incredibly unfair that they hinted at a very clear queer relationship but then just abandoned it because of said censorship lol.

Korea, please stop taking GLs and turning them into straight passing shows.

Korea has been getting a lot more confident about making BLs but not GLs? Just straight up annoying and frustrating.

However, that aside, it was a really cool premise. Good plot and character development, I wish episodes were longer or if they kept the same duration of episodes but added more eps i would also be happy about that. Nevertheless, the actors did well and showed a lot of chemistry between each other but I can’t help but go back on my point about how queerbaiting this entire show was.

Atleast we got a kiss scene, but even that isn’t something to be happy about since it’s apparently a dream lol…but I guess i’ll take what i can get. Hopefully gls only progress from here on out.

A fun action movie to watch

It’s nothing special nor boring, it’s perfectly in the middle.

Korean action/morale movies always revolve around women and their mistreatment and how a man is only then realising how women have it hard and then they save them yadda yadda, like I said- seen it many times. They don’t cover anything special or never seen before in the movie. What’s a bit surprising is that Seojoon who’s known for making misogynistic remarks about women is in a movie about saving women from human trafficking and against misogyny…granted his comments were from 2014 but that movie is only 3 years away from those comments.

Won’t nitpick about that further, the movie was funny and had a good balance of funny and serious. It’s one of those movies that are funnier to watch with someone rather than alone.
Overall, it was a pretty good movie and it was interesting and funny.

CEO X Secretary but roles reversed ?

I started this show because the clips of the ML taking care of the FL were trending on tiktok, and I knew I had to watch it…

I’ve never seen the ML actor in anything before (atleast not as a main character) and I think he might’ve become one of my favourites after this show.

I’m a long time fan of Han Jimin since I watched her show Familiar Wife, her acting is amazing and she delivers everytime!

The chemistry between the two main characters is amazing. Their skinship is so real, that it made me speculate the two actors. They must have had a crush one another…or even dated in secret…it was just too good.

The plot of the story was intriguing and interesting, it left me wanting more everytime an episode would end. The characters were funny and loveable, and I think everyone had a very nice storyline.

My only complaint is that the K-Drama had a lot of plotholes, the one that comes to mind is how quickly the villain in the show got defeated. I mean, it was obvious it was going to happen but in my opinion that storyline wasn’t really developed well— they spent so much time building up the moment the villain takes everything only for it to be taken away in a split second…but these small nitpicks are genuinely not important because it doesn’t make the show less enjoyable.

It was a sweet, slice of life show. Loved the romance that bloomed between the main characters as well as the side characters. Lovely show!

Master Kim in another universe

Couldn’t help but be reminded of Dr. Romantic as soon as the trauma doctor who never hesitates and saves everyone was introduced. Just like good ol’ Master Kim.

This show was amazing. Once again, not surprising. 8 Episode K-dramas always do so well, which is surprising because low episode shows usually don’t work out well because of how little time they have to show everything. But this was really an entertaining and enjoyable show.

I have to complain a bit though, Dr.Yang (Anus lol) the actor’s acting was just…not that good in my opinion. His screaming sequences just irked me and it was never funny since i’m guessing that was added for ‘comedy’ reasons. But whenever he would act over the top and scream it looked so soulless…like you could tell he was just following the scripts rules lol, and it was just always way over the top- if you’re gonna do that then atleast do it well. Thats the only thing that really pissed me off.

Another complaint is that I found it a little ridiculous how a hospital could go on for so long just caring about money and somehow building a prestigious reputation and nobody ever reporting on how greedy it was? And how the hell is it allowed to let ONE trauma doctor operate on everyone at once. I understand its for plot reasons but…I don’t know their logic is just a little…lol like even Dr.Romantic had a better logic most of the times even though they had some dramatic ass scenes too.

But besides that, the character dynamic and development was enjoyable to watch and overall the story was good and entertaining.

If you like medical shows, give it a try!

Are you human too except its a hologram

Initially I started this show like maybe 2-3 years ago but first episode didn’t catch my attention so I gave up on it. I also didn’t really like the casting at the time so it didn’t pique my interest.

However after recently watching another Kdrama where the ML was, I remembered this show and how I dipped on it mid first episode.

All of my friends watched this show and said it was good but I never listened, but oh my god, this show is really good!

At first I was really curious about how they would make it even possible for a human to fall for a hologram. I mean I understood ‘are you human too’ plot because falling for a robot/android is somewhat believable since it has a physical body, but this was really interesting and I needed to know how they would go about it.

Watching this show in 2025 was perfect too, since AI’s are everywhere and there’s been cases of humans actually falling for an AI. I just wonder how much worse it could possibly get if holograms were a thing lol…

Overall there’s not really much for me to say except for the fact that its really good and I enjoyed it. Some parts were a little goofy like you could tell the budget for VFX was low because omg 😭 The scenes where they would make the hologram appear and disappear were just too funny to me.

Im also not really sure why they made face blindness look like that since thats not accurate at all? I actually had to google if I had my facts wrong because why did her eyes blur out peoples faces like she’s some machine with censorship lol? I guess they did it for plot purposes but I think that was also really funny because they would show peoples bodies but blurred faces 😭

Anyway i’m really happy that she ended up falling for the human version of the hologram because I actually thought for a second that they would do what ‘are you human too’ kdrama did which was make the girl end up with the robot instead of the human guy version of him 😭 now that i think about it…that’s actually super weird LMAOO okay thats besides the point, but overall I think this kdrama is worth sticking around for!

Though I must admit, the only reason I stuck around this K-Drama was because of the ML since I’ve grown fond of him through the Kdrama ‘Witch at Court’ (also great show).

Alright with that being said, the show is pretty good. It lacked a bit in romance part in my opinion but it was still super cute!

where do find this bar…??

i think i saw somewhere a long time ago, people talking about a show or a movie about a bar appearing out of nowhere and the bartender listens to everyones struggles. i was always intrigued by this plot idea and wondered if it would ever come to life. much to my surprise, netflix recommended me this show with the exact same premise and of course i had to watch!!

first of all, if you watched the k-drama ‘tomorrow’, it’s almost the exact same. people come to them and they settle grudges, in tomorrow, the ‘entities’ find people who are on the brink of giving up their life and save them. it’s essentially the same idea, and since tomorrow is one of my favourite shows, this was really nice to watch and made me have a feeling like i was watching tomorrow’s twin show!

i liked everything about it. the plot, the comedy, the reveals, plotwists- you name it.

even the characters were cool! i really have nothing to complain about. although i have to admit, some of the major reveals in the show were so easy to spot so they didn’t really come off as shocking lol…i was more so happy and excited everytime i got a guess correct.

such a wonderful story with a beautiful message! i recommend it!
