Good Drama
Sorry for the spelling. English is not my language and I have no time for proofreading.I wont talk about some aspects, because already been discussed in the drama page.
I am NEUTREL, as long nobody insults me.
It is no masterpiece, but very enjoyable to watch and pulls you in very fast.
I know whell what it is about, but even if i am a bl writter, watcher and have friends in the community I CHOOSE to watch it.
I will only review the drama overall
Starting with the theme.
Who likes souls/body swaps i think this drama does a good job, especially the one who took a bullied 19 old teen body is an adult and not to forget, a gangster who met in his 47 years of his life a lot of difficult things to overcome.
I read some time ago that he does not act like one
First: each person is different. He wanted a change for himself, as he was attending to take the exam of his life, study wasnt his best.
He was kind with minors, women and even his gang who saw them as his family and so they did.
As he passed away he let a big gap in their life.
Now, the overall story.
I do like how he tried to step in and try to fix the life of the boy he took over
- making friends
- making him go to collage for a future
- family: here is harder, considering his mother is a drug and alchool addict mostly thanks to the father secretary.
Also, he took the job to make KSH independent from his father. A smart boy, but depressed, scared and anxiouse when came to the man who should had form him as an adult.
I like the bond between them
I think SML does sees the ML... in the drama, becsuse we know in the novel he had feelings for, as a father figure he never had in his life.
I like how the ML takes kids under his wing as he did with his gang.
The bond between them is made beautiful...
Comedy: beside some darker moments, the drsma has a lot of comedy too, mostly coming from the bully jim min, who always says the words wrong.
Hope he will redeem himself and see how much wrong he did.
The ost is good too.
Like ost 1, 2 and 3.
Overall great drama. Buget might not be high, but for me does not matter. The young cast does great.
Now, lets see how they will wrap it up and how they will make the real owmer act once it is coming back to the new changes in his life.
Watching the last epispdes, the ML tried anything but seems the original owner was to tired.
Considering they change the bl to bromance I was expecting this. To be honest I was rooting for the gangster.
Why?
He is kind, ready to help and seems he needed a second chance to life.
As the original owner, in the drama we only met him for few minutes and from.the eyes of the other characters.
We know he was deelply depressed and was sadly way to tired to fight for his life.
Overall a good drama.
If you are bl lover you find bromance
If you are not you find a deep friendship.
As a bl lover I saw the 2nd mostly due the gap between their ages.
As for those who will rate it 1 because they took out the bl, I do suggest after a good time to check it. You will find a good drama with a good bond between the leads
Check it and you wont feel sorry.

Good comedy-zombie drama
I am not an elite critique when comes to dramas. If I like something, I enjoy, even if is the worse in other peoples' eyes...To be honest... it is my first time seeing Jisoo acting. Not being biased....I can say she delivered. I liked her raspy voice in it. Now, to pass on what is the most important things. The drama itself. A perfect drama? No. Unique?... You could say that. Zombie and gore effects? Spot on. Regarding the comedy... Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you saw shawn of the dead, odd family: zombie for sale or the Japanese movie zom 100: bucket list of the dead, this drama will be perfect for you.
A bit on the negative side: many you might find at least the first ep boring, but is characters introduction, relationships, bonds between and setting.
Ah, some characters would be missed...
In a way what lacked, I feel... a great OST.

It was good
Normally I wanted to rate it 8.5, but I decided for 9.5, because of the chemistry the actors had between them. The way they brought up their character emotions is gold. The ost was great too. I listen nonstop to the ending song.Now, let's talk a bit about the ending: a bit rushed, a few flashback cuts would be good. I know what the editors tried to do, but of a NC scene, kids don't belong much. Don't get me wrong, I found it very intimate and tasteful, it didn't bother me the rest.
I loved the dynamic of the character from childhood to adulthood. Many commented regarding Lili... she is 23, she is not a child. She knew well what she was doing. If some of you saw her as a child in her behavior, let me tell you, even at 37, I act like that sometime, but that doesn't mean I am not a full length adult with heavy responsibilities.
Overall a very good drama which keeps you each episode glued to the screen and both actors do a great job.
Became fast a new fav drama of mine.
The blood clot was treated realistic, and I like they didn't overdo it.
I think another episode would have wrapped nicely the full drama or a special ep.
As every drama has flaws, but overall is good.

Good for the weekend
"Tells the story of an investigation into a murder case that takes place on a remote seaside road."Exactly!
Don't expect a masterpiece, but it is not a bad movie either.
The story and investigation is fast paced, with a nice twist at the end. Might share a tear too, if you are in the story.
The story follows the investigation team, a married couple and a drug addict ,but is more than is at first glance.
The ost is not bad either.

Alright...
A lot of lack of communication: on this I can sum up this drama. They barely told how they feel and think of each others letting all linger between them. A great idea that didn't deliver, at least in my point of view. The dark tone was good, the ost was nice, but the story and the abrupt ending lacked the essence. So much to be said still...The ending felt rushed as well. I will take it as their new well start, or if we go with the routine, depart.

Nice twist
Don't expect all to find here a revolutionary movie, but does have a nice twist toward the end. You need to become a devil to catch a devil, although things never go as planned and you get burned and as well you make collateral victims.Plenty of gore for those who like blood and violent movies and the main characters deliver their characters well.
I must say I do feel sorry for one of the characters, but it seems one of the mc's never learned his lesson from the past and revenge and catching the killers did blind sided him thinking he has an upper hand overlooking an important thing.
Others might not enjoy it, but this one is on my plate so yeah,
If to rewatch? Don't know, because for me this is one time movie because once you know the twist already loses its value for me.
It is the same type as forgotten. You see once and it is great.
Overall enjoyable, at least for me.

Good Drama
I always write my thoughts a bit later to let things cool down and see what I might miss. I know a lot thinks is rushed (yes is a bit, and they could have added a bit more regarding the ending credits that viewers to not feel empty)I noticed many were annoyed Sieun didn't fight back much at least in the first part (lets not forget he was never a fighter and when does fight, he cheats and can actually harm someone badly).
His rage suppressed and emotional state shows the most in the fights.
While he vows to not, in his mind the urge is always there (the scene on the stairs when he wanted to stab was so huge, but hold on)
The MC is a traumatized kid from past events and the guilt is huge. His parents never understood him. While his father said it was not his fault, I doubt it was with all his heart.
The mother thought it was her fault, but never stood and heard her soon, to understand who is with reality., same goes with the father. Same goes for Baku's father. Si eun had to slit open his eyes a bit to see his son is not a bad kid how he saw him. Comparing him with his mother, only because he never tried to reach him is harsh.
Had to be some knew kids with who he befriend to tell him that with sincerity.
I do agree on one matter, although: they could have fleshed out more the main character's background.
We know Baku and Baek jin were friendly, but it seems they didn't know much about them. No communication at all between them.
A bit more about Gotak and Seong Je. We only know they fought and last destroyed his knee.
I liked the bond he formed with his new friends and that in the end he had the courage to enter his BBF hospital room.
As I said, Si eun never was a fighter, but used his brain to defeat his opponents. Practically, he disabled Baek Jin, which might have sent him to his dismissal, because he could not fight 100% for his life.
Yes, in the webtoon he died hit by the trunk of doom, but in the manwha by the hand of the gangster he worked under.
Good season. The emotions, the fights, the east were on point.
New place, new friends, new personalities.
It was less violent, some say, but I think it was equal in a way, but I felt it had more depth to the MC character.
A rant of mine: ppl saying the actors looked old, GEE, why does nobody rant on the romcoms when most are OLD when they play students?

Good, yet a tad rushed
To be honest, this series will always have a special place in my heart, considering the manwha it is one of my favs and has been my 2nd ever drama I have seen. Song Kang brings well the MC, and the monster side is a delight.The 3rd, and final season was good. I was happy that most of the platoon lived alongside Sargent KIM.
THE antagonist actor did a great job, yet his greed and selfish side brought his doom, considering he used all as his pawns.
The bickering between Cha Hyeon Su and Lee Eun Hyeok was gold, even if one was special infected and the other a neohuman.
Pity they made the FL go through the monsterization, but she has found her place and her brother and one she loved being near, helping her regain her emotions.
In the end, not all could come back (the many characters that died old or new), but those who could, each will wait for.
A bittersweet ending to this beautiful horror trilogy.
Yes, it was a rushed ending and a lot of things still could be shown, but overall I liked it.
the OST could been better too:)))
A bit late for the review,but now I had the free time.

Great Drama
If you look for a thriller/mystery drama ...this it is.For me one of the best dramas until now of 2024. Beware although, a lot of frustrating characters, but as you go deeper into the intrigue you will see why all act like that, yet most are hypocrites.
The story revolves around a man who is falsely accused of murdering his girlfriend and a friend of his. After 10/11 years the truth slowly came out, helped by a detective which was transferred there.
Might find him annoying at first, but he his sharp and notices fast that things don't add up... as they investigate they create a nice friendship bond too.
To be honest the last two minutes made me teary. I think his real friend he had, beside si-oh, was his twin brother, but his father decisions made his life a living hell.
He could just ask back then, not assume things and things might take another direction,
Anyway.
Great acting from all, the plot was good (I liked more the drama than the novel- because here he didn't fall in love of his stalker to put like this and who knew all], ost was good too. The main characters actor delivered his emotions very good.
