the two fmls are amazing at their personality switch. even though we don't really get to see their original personalities, you can just tell they're acting abnormally from how their bodies(?) usually act. both their portrayals of umine are so unsettling, i love it. also kaga best boy ♡

this definitely sounds like my type of drama

agreed, but to be fair, it was a pretty solid reason tbh. i'm not sure i could handle always being reminded of that snake aileen + cheating bf + stolen song + tanked dream career every time i saw his face

and again: why do people go straight to calling him an ingenuine liar? i'm not even claiming that he's some saint or that he's truly remorseful. fans are always fed the story filtered by the media. you have no idea who he is, how he feels, or what he's thinking. you also have no idea who the victim is, how they feel, or what they're thinking. he claims he's innocent: people think he's lying. he admits to the truth: people still think he's lying. it's like everyone always WANTS to see the worst in others, esp celebrities.

once you label someone as a "villain" to the story, you never consider the possibility that they aren't. yeah, what if it's a long-term pr stunt to mask more allegations? but........what if it's not and you just fabricated a story to appease your distaste for him? you say people who defend him only defend him as fans or because he's good looking, but maybe you've just been blinded by your bias to see any other perspective or opinion. although my original comment does seem like i'm on his side (was just offering another perspective there, apologies for the confusion if i wrote it in a seemingly biased manner), i am utterly neutral because i will never know the true full story so i have no right to make judgments. also, throwing in past events or evidence, along with your interpretation of them, won't change my mind here so no need to. as per your not-so-nice comments above, no i am not a fan either :D

but if this was an ingenuine apology then why would he admit to it so many months later after he was found innocent? he could've gotten away with whatever he did, but he did admit it when he didn't need to so idk why people overlook that and go straight to calling him an ingenuine liar

oh...it's not really high school rom com at all LMAO. they have some flashbacks, but it's set when they're adults and i wouldn't say there's all the much comedy

my biggest guilty pleasure movie. i ALWAYS keep coming back

beautiful storytelling, brilliant writing, humanized characters, realistic feelings, understandable motives, character development, no eye rolling-inducing cliches, an extremely charismatic cast. if this isn't one of the best romance kdramas made (so far in the story), then idk what is tbh. praying it stays that way :D

i seriously loved that part about the ep T^T it was such an amazing analogy to start the ep with and then later end with. it's brilliant

she's one of my fave sfmls i've ever seen. she's honest, but she's not selfish. she's extremely kind and genuinely wants the best for others. despite her occasional arrogance lol, i love how aware she is of other's feelings. i adore her tbh

it isn't really lovey dovey at all. it's less cute and more realistic + a bit angsty. there are some cute moments and flashbacks sprinkled throughout, but most of it is the awkwardness, anger, and uncertainty reuniting with your ex after a bad breakup. i would highly recommend it if you're a character kind of watcher or if you love more realistic romances. just don't go in expecting an adorable happy romcom. it's more calm and soothing (slow burn-ish but doesn't feel slow at all imo)

yes exactly!!! there were so many times when i had to pause and see if i even recognized the person getting killed. i couldn't tell you for the life of me who the guy that was shot and put in the fridge was. i can't remember a single thing he did tbh. and even with the main characters, they had nothing to make you want to care about them (except ig captain and his daughter???). not to mention the very very large open threads surrounding luna, the government connection, the traitors, and the aftermath. love the concept, but not enough in execution

i feel like it's more so the fact that netflix only puts out 8 eps so most of their shows don't have enough runtime to fully flesh out their characters before the story. but then again, idk which older korean netflix series were better than the ones now, according to the original commenter.

i honestly thought eps 2-3 were incredibly slow, with eps 1, 4-8 being insanely thrilling. however, and i normally never say this, i actually think this show would've benefitted SO much more with 16 eps (at least more than 8). there's simply too much to unpack and explain for just 8 45min eps. the least they could do was 1hr eps. although i suppose that would only make the eps feel ever slower :///

i personally really enjoyed it, but i think you have to turn your brain off to watch lol (or you're a big jdrama fan). it has absurd humor with pretty mediocre romance and fine plot. mostly worth it for the comedy and death prince. not worth it if you're expecting a good couple. subjectively a 9, objectively maybe a 6.5 or 7? it starts picking up more after ep 3 or so

sorry but thinking about choi min shik on disney+ has me rolling on the floor
IT'S CHOI MIN SHIK ON DISNEY+ LMFAO

so basically youth of may in a parallel universe lmaooo

definitely not perfect, but quite intense and filled with intriguing moral ambiguity. you should honestly just watch it for kim hye yoon alone, she played a FANTASTIC k

i mean, he IS mute, just selectively mute. most mute people are physically able to speak and are comfortable doing so in certain situations (like only with friends or only at home). for santa's case, he's only comfortable speaking when he's alone

high hopes, but SO FREAKING FRUSTRATING. the amount of "near-saves" was just comedic tbh. the decision-making was promising at the beginning, but quickly degenerated by the end rip
