What is this?

Jeongu comes back from working and sees two handsome strangers bothering him. They claim to be Choco and Milk, his dog and cat. Let me say that again his DOG and CAT and this is a bl….

The worst part is that they act like pets and they use flashbacks to remind you every 2 seconds. Even if you look past that the emotional moments feel forced with no build up or reasoning. It doesn’t feel earned and it’s so disappointing. My first sad ending… and who cares they could’ve all lived happier but the writers just wanted it to have a sad ending.

People said they cried to this… I feel like I’m loosing my mind! They’re animals. And there’s a sex scene….. Is there really anything else to say?

Overrated

Taejoo, a rich heir, and his live-in bodyguard and only friend Gook, get closer after he sets up Gook with someone.

What I Hate
The writing is genuinely awful. It makes no sense, the plot holes are massive. Why does Taejoo need a live-in bodyguard? What is their relationship? Why did the restaurant owner ask sex positions to high schoolers? WHY DO THEY SLEEP IN THE SAME BED???? Okay so apart from my million questions the writing is also lacklustre, it’s super predictable and they don’t feel like real people.

What I Like
The acting is incredible and the leads have so so much chemistry. (wasted chemistry imo)

A masterclass in Season 2s

Hajime and Akafuji, now working on different dramas, have to navigate their relationship.

What I Love
I love the comedy, this season it got even better. On top of that the story is way more interesting this season and I love the addition of Akafuji’s director and Haibara that cause a shake up in their relationship. Unlike previous season 2s (i.e. to my star) this show still has arcs for the old characters instead of prioritizing new ones. I especially love that the managers get more screentime and that the fujos came back. This season is so much better in my opinion and I’m in love with it.

Nitpick
I need more, like NOWWWW

Fascism high

There’s a strict school with weird cultish undertones and a new student joins to disrupt the status quo

There’s mystery with a curse and why the students characters act a certain way. It has school romances, enemies to lovers/opposites attract and childhood friends to lovers which are my favourite tropes. It was fasted paced and brought plot twists all the way to the end. The acting is really good and I love when characters pretend not to be in love. I also like that there’s homophobia that the characters and their surroundings have, brings a level of realism. I’ve seen other reviews saying it was poorly executed and disappointed them but I went blindly and loved it even if I easily predicted it. But the music is sometimes so loud that I couldn’t hear the characters.

Realistic with depth

Jihyeon moves from a small village to Seoul to do his studies. He meets Jaewon, an older university student, and joins the surfing team to be closer to him.

Does it have a crazy interesting premise? No which I absolutely love it. It feels more realistic than the shows that have crazy premises. It also has tragic backstories that give depth to these characters. I like the portrayal of mental health which seems to be forgotten in most shows. The music and the cinematography is also really good like I was stunned at some points. Their chemistry is so good I felt it from the second they saw each other, the slight awkwardness makes it so real.

The show is never boring and yhe acting is incredible. Eunji and Taehyeong are DEMONS, not even villains that you can like you’ll hate them. I love Aeri, Yoonwon and the restaurant owner a lot and you’ll love them too. The other supporting characters are also pretty good and not just one dimensional characters.

I hate him!

Sangu does all the work for a project so he leaves Jaeyeong’s name off of the project. He looses his credit and as revenge decides to be annoying and work with him on a project together.

It’s a web series so it’s pretty short and there’s not much to talk about. Cinematography is really pretty with the little animations that show and I actually find this couple cute. Im glad we got full french kissing. The only reason it’s not higher is because the Jaeyeong is an asshole, annoying and cringy at the beginning. Its so icky that I was starting to feel bad for Sangu and I relate to him a lot. I love the subtle (and not so subtle) ways they both change when they’re together.

My first GL

Oboom asks her twin sister Aioon to breakup with her other partner so she can go on her honeymoon with her new husband (she owes her a favour), she refuses but since Oboom gets into a coma she decides to do it. Her other partner turns out to be a rich blind woman.

I love the representation of blindness I feel like the actress did a very good job. This series was really try not to feel bad for everyone challenge. Like no one is a villian, I have sympathy for all of them. Unemployed main lead with bad jobs that constantly thinks they’re bad at everything and wants to be a writer… wait is she me? These characters are so complex it’s crazy.

I feel like the runtime is too long. The pacing is weird asf it’s too long and then some parts I want more of but never get.
