Revenge is a dish best served devilishly

Personally, I tend to stay away from kdramas involving park shin hye. No offense to her, but directors are obsessed with giving her so many crying scenes. However, in this kdrama, oh mother... Such a well written character. Kang Bitna was strong, driven, and sadistic; and park shin hye portrayed all those characteristics to the dot. Kim Jaeyoung was also perfect for his role, and just so hot. Han Daon was so wicked yet so vulnerable, and i feel like that's exactly the type of male characters you need once in a while. He never overshadowed Bitna, and that's what I really enjoyed about this drama. The beautiful representation and balance of ying and yang characters. Bitna's revenge from the perpetrators was as satisfying as Daon choosing not to kill the serial killer. The support cast was absolutely talented, except for Bael's character who was honestly just meh. Grandma for the winning, for sure. The plot twist of who satan was was lowkey predictable, but i'm fine with it because the writers knew how to incorporate it in the story and didn't make such a big deal out of it. Also, the angles, the wardrobe, and the decor were so in theme with the drama, i was so in love. the usage of dark and red was strong, but not overbearing. Overall, just such a good job.

Hunt for a gold... with a twist

I went into this kdrama with minimal expectations, as I wanted to watch something light that would not get me too hooked as I am pretty busy these days, and all I have to say is that this kdrama is really underrated.

The story is pretty fun. Kdramas with NIS agents absolutely never miss the mark. It's a mystery drama with a fairly strong plot line, but it is the comedy that really made it work. There were some plot holes, but whatever, I could not care less for those inconsistencies.

What really made the drama enjoyable for me was the cast. ML and FL CARRIED. Haesung was soooo charming and hot, but sooooo good at his role. Sua was so cute and funny, but so smart. Such a refreshing couple, and while their relationship was not the big focus, their chemistry was soooo fun. And the found family trope?? GET OUT OF HERE IT'S SO FREAKING GOOD. Team 4 ftw! Class 2-1 ftw!! So loyal to each other I was so emotional at times. I did hate the ending of him becoming a professor because it is so clearly not his dreams, but someone said it might allude to season so i am less mad.

girlhood

idk man this show was so awesome i think everyone should watch it. i spent half of it crying actually. there was so much to appreciate about this, but i will list a few that stood out to me: first, the lack of filter in the show. im in my early 20s, but i like to believe that some of what was portrayed in the show will be me soon. another thing i loved is the friendship of the women, for example, jihyun who obviously cared about her looks a lot but still jumped in every fight if it meant it would save her girls. when they all jumped the kidnapper of sohee, it was so satisfying bc they all fought for her. and i literally cried so hard in the last episode when they were coming out of the fire because ugh they really did it and saved each other and the others. the only bad thing is that there are only 10 episodes, but hey, it seems there will be another season !!!

having a place to return to is an incredible relief

Honestly i fuck with this heavy. i watched this while on the verge of a slump and was in the mood for something more revenge-y, but i settled for it cuz it was the only thing i could find in my streaming service. first episodes might seem slow, but the overall storyline is worth pushing through. i connected HEAVY with samdal. her and yongpil truly were meant for each other. cho yongpil, the man you are. may a man like him find me in all my lifetimes. i just love when a man yearns for love. supporting cast was incredibly talented and diverse, enjoyed watching all of their stories and could not get enough of their character development. this is what i loved about this kdrama the most. everyone grew in their rightful way. for example, yongpil’s dad and samdal’s mom literally never smiled until the issue between them resolved. the scenery was so beautiful too. had me diverting our seoul trip to jeju isg

however, the love triangle was so unnecessary, especially that sangdo truly never stood a chance so it was just straight up boring to include it. moreover, samdal had a special friendship with the rest of the range rovers and it was so beautifully written, that i truly hated the writers for the unrequited love storyline. #budeservesbetter

anyways, overall healing watch. def def recommend

like a blooming flower

i grew up with a sister who looks exactly like me, that people usually confused us for twins. we also literally have the same personalities as mirae and miri, which made watching this with her lowkey awkward but it was so good. i cannot even begin to explain just how awesome and realistic this kdrama was. the writing was of another level, with amazing character developments and such realistic depictions of people. havent watched a kdrama this satifisfying in a long time, and it truly healed some parts of me. some angles were not it, but that's my only complaint. i guess i also wanted more from the second couple, pls that man was so hot i need more of them asap

Bad concept... Great execution

See, I was excited for this. In fact, I was rooting for this to be one of the greatest Kdramas of 2025. 2025 has had a very promising lineup of kdramas and this one's plot sounded very unique. However, I just could not be bothered to follow up on every episode. In fact, it took me almost a month to finish the Kdrama. We had a good FL, a very cute ML, but sometimes, it felt like everyone was losing the plot. I would be watching and then tell myself: Do the writers even know what they are currently doing? Some things were said but not shown, creating a few plot holes. Additionally, the firing plot... yeah miss me with that BS thank you so much. The couple itself and their chemistry was amazing, but idk not my cup of tea

sigh

last time i checked, lee sina has ten toes, not one toe missing, so why did she stop standing on business? like what happened? yeah no idc she needed to make him grovel more just for the insane fact that he was making her carry his stuff. idc that he wanted to spend more time with her but yeah no pls grow a spine queen u could have done so much more with him cuz she lowkey had him between her fingers at some point.

but yeah overall i love that it covered some very profound themes like suicide and grief, but yeah i think what really stood out and why i kept watching it was the redemption arc of everyone like it was truly so satisfying watching characters grow and become better. i guess it was funny at times as well

Truly one of the best Kdramas I have ever watched

This Kdrama has been gathering a lot of attention on KSpaces, and yet, when i first started watching, I went in with very minimal expectations. I surely did not expect that, during the 48 hours it took me to binge watch it, Trauma code would take up all of my thoughts. Something that honestly should not come by surprise as I absolutely love the Found Family Trope, which is
perfectly portrayed in here.

The casting is actually perfect. I loved the last episode so much. I loved Dr. Baek’s character, as it provided as much depth as arrogance. The way he was passionate about nothing but his patients in the beginning, but slowly and surely he was proven to care about others. The rest of the cast was so human that it was impossible to hate them. At some point, you become hooked too and feel part of the friend group. The drama keeps you on the verge of your seat and Mr. Baek getting the last laugh with everyone is soooo satisfying.

The main idea of the show is so great, that it makes me forgive the military propaganda on this
