A SECRET GEM!!! A COMEDIC MASTERPIECE!!! 11/10 ✨???

This is the first review I write after having watched almost 300 K-Dramas and 100+ movies. And I'm doing it because "Seoul Busters" is worth every type of PRAISE!!! 👏👌🤌🏆This rightfully took a place in my top 20 BEST KOREAN DRAMAS ever!!! 🔝And here's why:

1) THE CAST. 🔥Every single member of this cast did a stellar job.✨They delivered amazing performances, in both comedic and dramatic moments. They had such wonderful chemistry with each other, they clicked perfectly. 💯I couldn't see any other actor/actress in their places. They're literally the PERFECT combination. 🤌
2) Sometimes you need a good laugh, not complicated things, just something to brighten up your day. 🌞And boy, does this drama provide you with endless laughs. 😝I haven't laughed this much with a piece of cinema or TV before and I'm not referring to just Asian content. "Seoul Busters" made me CRY tears of laughter, so much, my belly hurt from laughing.🤣 I watched all episodes with my mom and we made sure to watch them in a time during the day where we could laugh loudly without waking up any neighbors!!!😜I looked forward to the new episodes each week because they lifted my spirit and even during bad days they never failed to put a smile on my face. ☺️It's not easy to make that happen but these characters, these super talented actors made it happen.❤️
3) You think it's only humor?? You're WRONG. Despite its obvious comedic tone, the drama has plenty of touching, even tragic moments that will break your heart. 🥺Especially the second half of the drama will definitely make you shed some tears. 💔But it's all perfectly executed and ties in with the plot well.
4) And what about the cases of the week?? 🚓So many cases, so many suspects, so many plot twists. 🧐Each case intriguing and different than the other. And also, very good guest stars making things even more interesting. 👍
5) The action??💥 PLS!!! They were all so badass, I loved the fight scenes and their planning, and going undercover.🔥 Each member of our Violent Crimes Team at had something unique to offer and put their skills to good use.👌
6) Rewatch value??? Trust me, I'll be having all 20 episodes on repeat for a long time. 💯It just makes me feel so good watching and hearing these guys, they won such a special place in my heart, I'm so grateful for the good times they gave me!!!😊✨
7) SEASON 2, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING!!! 😭This drama wrapped things up very well but it left the window open with a perfect opportunity to continue for a second season. 😁I have never had such a passionate desire for a K-drama to be renewed for a second season before!!! ✌️Where do I sign the petition for S2 to be announced ASAP???? I don't want to say a final goodbye to my favorite characters just yet!!!🥺

To sum up, "Seoul Busters" is a K-Drama I would recommend to EVERYONE, it would be such a shame to lose such a gem!!!✨ It's perfectly balanced in every aspect and has a wonderful group of actors who bring unique, unforgettable characters to life.✌️ I'm so glad I decided to watch it, it didn't disappoint or bore me for one second!!! I'll treasure it forever ❤️😊

Sword and ... definitely NOT beloved

The GOOD 👍:
Perfect music: the songs will be stuck in my head for a long time, they're so beautiful, both the melodies and the lyrics ✨🎶

Amazing costumes, accessories and hairstyles for ALL the characters and especially the main ones🌸💫: this stylist should get some kind of award because every recent drama with their work is a feast for my eyes when it comes to the characters' looks. "Sword and Beloved", "Love of the Divine Tree", "Shadow Love", "Fated Hearts", "Love In The Clouds". Just STUNNING. 😍My deepest respect for their incredible work.👏

Fantastic fighting choreography⚔️🔥, it was really impressive and I loved all the epic fight scenes. Very detailed and professional polishing there. Especially with Fugui's powers, it was so fun to watch him obliterating his enemies.😎

Acting🎬: Cheng Yi, Guo Jun Chen and Chang Hua Sen brought to life really wonderful characters that I will always remember fondly. 💔With the scenario they had, they did their absolute best and I am grateful for their devotion.

The BAD 👎

Romance🙄: It was a BAIT from the beginning. Only in the very first episodes, the main "couple" had the chance to build something but it was cut short when the toxic, obsessed, trash entered the picture and ruined everything till the end. 🤬AAAAALL the focus went to the love stories of the side characters with no room or time for the mains. They did us DIRTY. 👿That's not what ANY of us wanted. We were treated like CLOWNS.🤡

The villains🥱: you're trying to tell me after all the crap Quan Qingting did... They STILL let him run around with no-one checking up on him??? 🤦When there's a SNAKE, if you don't want it to bite you, YOU CUT OF ITS HEAD. Cause it WILL kill you. You end it the moment it's down, otherwise you'll regret it forever.

Qing...cheng...🤮: HORRIBLE character, served no purpose other than keeping the main couple apart, childish/amateur acting by the actor, I feel like his only line was JIE JIEEEEEEE. 🤮He ATE like 12 episodes and brought nothing to the table. I wanna erase his memory from my mind.😖

Gullizan or whatever she was called😒: Short lived. Another meaningless character with the depth of a needle pin. She was forgotten before she even existed in the drama.

The absence of Cheng Yi from many episodes.😡 That was... I HAVE NO WORDS. 🤬Everybody and his dog had screen time and we were struggling to even spot a time stamp with Fugui in certain episodes. 🧐What the hell was that????? ☠️What idiot decided this, WHO REMOVES THE ML FROM HIS OWN DRAMA???? 🤦I swear to NEVER watch anything from these writers EVER AGAIN.😾

And as for the ending... 😞

To say I did not expect Fugui's sacrifice is a lie. I wouldn't have minded sooo much if he had actually LIVED a little. 😢Everything good went to the third couple, the lovey/dovey scenes, the marriage, the happy ending. 😮‍💨Even the doomed second couple had romantic scenes, they had kisses, they talked about love and marriage. Even if they both tragically died, they shared precious bonding moments. 🥺But Fugui and Qingtong were deprived of that because of QINGCHENG. 🤬My blood boils every time I mention him. I can't believe how much bad impact he had on the drama. He literally destroyed the main part of the story.

I haven't fully watched the two previous FSMM dramas, just bits and pieces but at least those main couples were ACTUAL couples. 🫤Heck, the Red Pact couple got their happy ending in the modern world. What did we get????? 😓Fugui first killing Qingtong and then sacrificing his last life force to bring back her original form. We can GUESS that blue butterfly was Fugui's soul and prooooobably he'd reincarnate and return to her but open endings are GARBAGE. 😠I DON'T WANT TO GUESS. SHOW IT TO ME. 😤What happened to "we'll travel the world together to see the rivers and the mountains and all the sceneries and we'll always be together...". I'M DECEIVED.

Sigh... I'm just so disappointed. 😭This had the potential to be one of the best C-Dramas ever and now it will leave a bitter taste in my mouth every time I remember it. 😢If Cheng Yi wasn't the ML, I would have dropped it halfway. He's the one who kept me watching for support. Now, I'm just looking forward to his next projects to recover from this disaster... And HOPEFULLY, he'll have a happy ending for a change...🥺🙏

A POWERFUL CONTINUATION OF A GREAT DRAMA - Loved S2 more than S1 ❤️

Absolutely BETTER than season 1. If S1 was a 9/10, S2 is 100% a 10/10!!!🔥

S1 was great and successful mainly because of the bromance between Si Eun and Su Ho and the undeniable chemistry of the actors. Their relationship carried the show. 👍 But I personally never liked Bom Seok and Yeong I, so I didn't care about them as a group and disliked the other villains, they were boring. 🥱The plot was rather simple and straightforward, the action scenes were good, the acting of course amazing. But S2...

S2 took it to a WHOLE new level!!! 😱The action, the violence, the emotional struggles, the new environment and new friendships. The relentless villains. I loved everything about it. ❤️

The quartet was SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL. ☺️Now, add to them that one member we all love and we have the PERFECT combination. ✨They all are so energetic, so good for each other, with no toxicity among them. I'm literally begging for a 3rd season because I desperately need more of them!!! 🙏

NOTE: Park Ji Hoon is once again fantastic in his role but I gotta say. Ryeo Un stole this season for me. I love that kid so much, he's so talented and he ATE this role!!! My man got such a great build to play Hu Min, he's got shoulders for daysssss 😍 Add him to the cast of "Bloodhounds" S2, he'd fit right in!!!😁

Anyways, S2 exceeded my expectations!!! 👏The wait was soooo worth it. PLZ, NETFLIX, RENEW FOR SEASON 3!!!🥳

THE DOMINO EFFECT

A thrilling, bingeable drama that will leave you in awe!!! 😱A story about "cursed" connections that can only end in destruction.☠️
A totally unexpected Netflix treasure that definitely lives up to its title: "Karma" is not for the faint of heart...!!👀

I knew the story was going to be dark from the trailer but I was not prepared for... all THAT. 😳There's crime, mystery, violence, The writer did an EXCEPTIONAL job woving the story, leaving nothing to chance. 👏Every character is connected, everything they do has consequences.

The cast had really good chemistry with each other, everyone's acting was on point. I honestly have ZERO complaints. 👍This whole viewing experience exceeded my expectations!!! 🔥The ending was sooo fitting. 🤌I would definitely recommend it to people who enjoy OCN Dramas in particular, aka the best thrillers in K-Drama land.😉

PS: There are some really cool guest roles and cameos. Look forward to them!!!😎
PS2: Episode 2 was actually pretty funny to me, maybe given the circumstances I shouldn't have laughed but I actually chocked from laughing too much because of a certain "unfortunate" chain of events xD 😝
