NIS Agent turned Student?

Honestly I get why this drama is disliked, But i honestly enjoyed every single bit of it.

I loved how they revealed that he's the NIS agent in the beginning so it wouldn't have been weird seeing a teacher and student together.

And Seo kang joon's eyes and hottness are a seperate genre!. The romance was definitely toned down. They had just one accidental kiss and like a kiss when proposed at the very end.

The childhood friends was very cliché , They could've kept them strangers. I love the NIS agent team , their so unhinged like you would think it's gonna be serious thriller and they're gonna do alot of serious stuff. But there wasn't a single serious scene and i couldn't stop laughing.

Whatever Hae song syas or does is just edit worthy dialogues. I think if their were more episodes they could've worked on the students bond. As i didn't feel the connection when he bid farewell to the students, like come on you only talked to Dong min.

The chairwoman did an amazing job, like I kinda was like mam you do not have the rights to be this good at acting.

Some of my favourite scenes are Haesong turns himself in like he was soo hot in that scene, and when he apologized before hitting the policemen ,wow sir!.

The ghost part should've been replaced with something actually believable, i mean it was hard to work out and make sense.

I actually felt so bad when Haesong finds his dad in the same school he went undercover too, like the watch with the coat was just so miserable. I loved that the students came and payed their respect when he has no one .

I loved the ending that shows how the students are doing in the present. The last ever dialogue is my favourite dialogue in the whole drama, that is:

"If you think about it treasures aren't that far away, my treasure are these people" - Haesong/Si Hyun.

I love how he dedicates "his treasure" as the family he found, they may not be related in blood but they sure are family. If you like comedic thriller , unhinged scenes that makes you laugh so much, a little bit of cute romance to giggle, and a found family trope you'd definitely would love this one!. I would definitely recommend this drama. I definitely need a season 2 with Haesong being a teacher!!!

A Powerless and The Most Powerful

This movie is worth your time. Full of fluff scenes, and amazing chemistry between the actors. Cuteness overload. I love that he is said to be very cruel and scary, but is such a sweetheart when it comes to Mayo. A family-friendly movie, so you can watch it with your kids too. The powers confused me, but the cute scenes made it nice to watch. The ending was satisfying. I love his expression softens after seeing her. he saves her like a knight in shining armour when she was in danger, couldn't stand the thought of her having a nightmare. Keep in mind, He is an elite in the military, said to be one of the cruellest people in the whole city 🥹.I'll rewatch this when I'm craving a good fluffy romance.

The milk never expired.

Okay, before i talk about the story. The leads in this drama are absolutely, breathtaking. The visuals are off the chart. We are probably not going to see the jung jung couple anytime soon. But they gave their full potential. Amazing chemistry with the leads.

This drama has everything a "drama genre" will have. The parents, the situations, the visuals, everything was very cliché. But it was done good.

The family was the main thing that this drama is in a drama genre. They gave their own problems, and even push their problems to their kids.

The ex was just there as a purpose for seok ryu to go back , and he was just there to make seung hyo confess. They gave him a super confusing role. But , the way i switched sides when they showed that he didn't cheat. Like poor man , I was hating on him for nothing. Bro lost a diamond though (Seok ryu)

Seok ryu had the most confusing, realistic and the most frustrating role in the drama. Her having a break down with her mom was super sad to see, the sibling partiality was shown so good, it felt real and it makes you feel bad for her.

Seung hyo is the whole reason I didn't drop this drama midway, cause i mean mannnn, the edits of him flooded my feed after watching this drama, and i ain't complaining!!. I felt so bad for him in the whole drama, like imagine the girl you loved, your bestfriend growing up hid that she had cancer. (Gosh his acting when he found out.) I mean I also was frustrated, i mean this man loved her for a decade without confessing. He stole the show for being an absolute hottie .

This is the first drama I LOVED the second leads. I need a whole drama for them. Their relationship was so cute. The paramedic girl (Mo eum ) and her mudflats man (Dan ho). Their first kiss was kinda awkward, Since they showed a guy grieving for his late wife to Mo eum, and this girl kisses him and runs. And we found out that Dan ho is not the actual father to Yeon du , very cliché but thank God they added that or else their first kiss would've been so awkward. Mo eum was amazing character, the cool kid i would love to be type, smart and an absolute baddie. Dan ho was an amazing parent to Yeon do, that made him so hot.

The parents love story was different genre. I mean them literally writing the drama queen of tears as seung hyo's parents. It felt like actual hae in and baek hyun woo when their old. Anyways I wished they focused more on the main leads though.

The relationship of Dong min (seok ryu's brother) and the gym girl (the one who had a crush on seung hyo) was disappointing , they could've made them date. I loved how the gym girl was a girl's girl and not a scheming one you typically see in other dramas

The drama went downhills when their exes came. I mean I loved seung hyo's ex , she was way better conveying her feelings than Hyun jae . Although she did kinda frustrated me when she was stealing seok hyo from seok ryu slightly. But it made them realise their feelings so I ain't complaining again.

And they kinda threw that cancer part again they just needed a reason for them to fight. The ex not cheating, made the story better. Cause seok ryu was having a hard time moving on, at first i was annoyed, Girl i know it will take time to move on, butttt he freaking cheated on you??!. Then they showed that he's not a cheater but an green flag. I mean okay i kinda get you girl.

Her ex , was a mix of emotions. I'm sure everyone has their ups and downs , but the difference between him and seung hyo is , seung hyo is ready to hit rock bottom with her, so he could tell her she's not alone, but Hyun jae wasn't ready to do that. I respect it though, it's human nature, just because your girlfriend has cancer doesn't mean you have to mourn and devote yourself to her all day.

Some of the quotes I loveddd:

"My mom and dad didn't come to meet but as i looked at the girl who skipped her exams for me, I realised after meeting Bae seok Ryu, There wasn't a time when I didn't like her" -Choi Seung Hyo

"Don’t force yourself to laugh if you feel like crying.” — Choi Seung-hyo

"That milk expires today but my feelings for you won’t spoil tomorrow or the day after.” – Choi Seung Hyo

"Without you, time seems to drag on… Without you, every day feels bland.” – Bae Seok Ryu

"It feels unfair that there isn’t an expression better than I love you. Because that’s how much I love you.” – Choi Seung Hyo

SEE HOW MOST OF THE GOOD QUOTES WERE SAID BY SEUNG HYO, HE PRACTICALLY CARRIED THE DRAMA.
This drama is truly good for the romance, they're chemistry , the visuals, the acting, and the story was well written. I will recommend this drama to person who like slow burn with awesome chemistry.

The OG power couple

Ahhhhh, This drama is just peak cuteness and amazing chemistry of the leads. I mean even if years pass , people still calling them min min and bong bong shows the chemistry and their bond both on screen and off screen. I mean even if people criticize the story , I'm sure no one will, for the casting

I had low expectations when I started to watch this drama, i thought it was those cringey, tropey, typical ceo x employee drama. But boy was i wrong, cause this one absolutely slapped. It was kinda tropey, but it was written in a good way not slopey at all.

Park hyung sik carried this drama by being a absolute loser in love, he was the og pookie before those terms were real. Every single love scene of phs felt natural, it didn't feel scripted at all.

Park bo young was such a icon in this drama. Acting all weak with her crush, while helping others with her super powers, so admirable and super cute. Her relationship with her mother especially with the partiality show towards her twin was so sad to see, park bo young played her role very well, it felt real.

The whole bong bong's twin brothers relationship with seol in ah was very confusing, like okay girll , having a crush on your doctor while you have a boyfriend?!.

The antagonist did the best job, like his creepiness was os high,I got chills whenever he appeared on the screen. His motive is so evil, creepy and disgusting all at once

Min min's family was also very confusing, i mean i get it he needed a reason to hire park bo young, but someone spying in his own family, but it only got like 3 episodes of screen time.

Their funny scenes is to die for, the love triangle, the relationship dynamic of min min and bong bong, like, "I'm scared of my wife " type. Min min protecting her at all costs whichever situation she's in . May it be public humiliation, or him being an actual sheild for her. Like you hired a bodyguard, but protecting her more than yourself min min.

The bomb scene was the definition of angst, fear of losing one and great acting.When bong bong said to min min , to leave and save himself. He could've definitely saved his life by running. But him choosing to stay saying that , if one dies , they'd die together, and he's not moving an inch with a smile on his face!!. Peak acting of park hyun sik.

I do get why some people don't like the comedy thriller part , but I liked it it, it was my type of cringey drama i enjoy. You could watch it just for leads.

"It's only when people are gone that you notice their presence in your life"

At the end i recommend this drama 100% to beginners watching kdramas, as this one is the og ,one of the best and will remain one of the best chemistry of the leads ever.

Reliving old memories, but it's not a dream.

This drama wa short and cute. Not too much going on, that's the charm of it, there's not that much of a story, so it makes you remember every detail when you watch it once.

The casting was perfect, everyone suited their roles, this was my first Zhang miao yi drama she acted in, and after watched Wifty and Exclusive fairytale, I have noticed Zhang miao yi always choose the same character over and over again. But it honestly suits her, she gives sweet next door neighbour girl vibes. The male lead had almost the same character vibe as Zhang lu rang in Wifty.

I love the second leads didn't take the whole show but created subtle jealousy scenes for the male lead. He was an absolute cutie too.

The time loop plot was okay, they didn't really focus on that too much though.

Honestly a short c drama has a 50/50 chance to be really good or really bad. I didn't have high expectations for this one , but it was surprisingly good. I gave a good re-watch value as it's super sweet and short, A type of drama you could watch after really long ones.

Definitely recommend to the people who are looking for a short drama , with not too much plot just fluffy romance.

An atypical family indeed.

Whooo, This drama is truelyyy underrated. Wow I was completely hooked to the whole series seriously. And yes I watched this drama purely because of the photoshoot which they had with the apple :). I watched it when it was on going which was a bad choice since. I pulled my hair off overthinking about what would happen next lol.

This drama is such a underrated jem seriously. The irony is that this is not your typical drama. It was so different, years have passed but yet i haven't still watched a drama like this one.

First of all i didn't get the complicated relation between the FL and her mother. And I love how all the characters who had super power all have "modern problems", It makes you relate with them. The ML and the FL were very cute seriously, it was confusing at first when he used to time travel at random times but you get used to it episode by episode.

I have to say the kids did an amazing job with their role like i was kicking my feet in the air and rooting for them in the whole drama. Bok in ah is a complicated character that you would first won't understand but as the drama progressed i would understand her story more. It was my first time seeing actually kids not adults in a middle school/highschool role lol.

I don't want to give spoilers but an extra episode would've done justice to the drama , since the rushed it and i still have so many questions at the end. The only reason I decreased the rating was because of how confusing itw as for me. This drama is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but for me personally it was good for a one time watch.

I would recommend this drama to people who enjoys some slow burn, mystery, dark theme and steamy romance.

Contract Relationship with Highschool Deskmate?!

Okay, this drama was pretty short, It had its ups and downs , like some parts were super cute and funny and some of them were rushed, and didn't make sense. It's a short fluffy drama,i would re-watch if I have really nothing else to watch or something I'd watch after a long drama with a lot of plot , since this drama is pretty refreshing. They tried adding everything,every trope,every clichés ,every contract marriage situation that could ever happen.

MAIN LEAD :
Honestly I loved the main lead , he was such a green flag, But I wish he expressed his feelings more, i mean he is an introverted guy and and since it's a contract relationship I get that it's awkward but I don't think people realise that their love language is act of service. I read alot of reviews of him not expressing as much, and i feel heis but itis not as open as normal cdramas

LOVE LANGUAGE:
If you observe the couple really close he's always helping her someway. When she was harrassed by her roomates, he stepped in without thinking, giving her mosquito repellent, making her soup, cheering her up , savings her from peer pressure to drink alcohol , etc. and she is more awkward than him, but he enjoys it, it's the part that made him fall for her.

DISLIKES:
I didn't like the the second love interests at the end, i mean i get it , they were just there to bring drama but it could've been avoided as it is already a short drama, why add more drama at the end while it was going pretty smooth. The female lead was a damsel in distress the whole drama , i wish she had her own moment but she didn't get an single one. If they added more drama and new characters at the end, they could've made it more episodes,since the ending was rushed .

SECOND LEADS:
The second leads definitely did a good job in taking the role seriously. Their trope enemies to lovers were good. I wish they had more enemies part before they got together. I wasn't that invested in their story as much as everyone else. But their definitely more chaotic and straightforward than the main couple. Their dynamic was cute.

FAV SCENE:
The scene I loved the most was when she was peer pressured to drink alcohol. And he saw that she was clearly uncomfortable. While he asks the female lead if she wants to go home, and she was hesitant. He says "If you want to go home, we go home"
It's a simple scene but carries so much like he has also an important meeting but he is willing to leave that for her, is very cute.

Contracted Love

This drama was a great binge worthy drama for me, honestly I loved their chemistry. The overall drama is had its ups and downs but it was definitely more different than the other dramas I have watched. I would recommend this drama if a person wants to try something new. As the characters in this drama are normal and had a problem that everyone could relate to. There were 3 couples, it's not necessary really, but their different dynamic were good, I loved the main leads more than the other two though. I wish this drama gets more recognition as i haven't seen much edits with them.

MAIN LEADS:
Honestly watching this drama made me realise I was sleeping on Lee min ki, since he did a awesome job playing a lowkey chill guy, who'd think 5 steps ahead to save money and time. I have always loved Jung so min and this is certainly not my first drama with her in it. She delivered her character perfectly like her acting wants you to pity her, feel bad but she's also unhinged in a way.

THEIR LOVE LANGUAGE:
Their love language was definitely silent care and understanding. They were both very awkward to begin with but they understood eachother, they never questioned eachother, but they were ready help one another. They didn't have any other love language rather than these.

LIKES:
I love the slow subtle change that you could see as episodes go by. Them getting closer, more comfortable, It just feels natural and real to me. It definitely thought some lessons about life , Jung so min portrayed the character of a girl who doesn't know what to do with her life and doesn't have a plan for her future, she teaches those short life lessons throughout the drama. I liked when the ml who who'd never like waste a penny did something for the fl, eventhough it was not something he'd do , he was so cool doing it.

DISLIKES:
At the end i felt like it had so much going on, with unnecessary characters and drama, and the fl did something that i felt like it rushed the drama at the end, but it was all worth it, cause i felt satisfied. They're were many unnecessary characters but it gave some good scene for the leads. The side leads were good, but it felt like they were just there just for filling in the spaces, i never was that interested in their stories but atleast their hardships were realistic.

QUOTES:
" Words are born in people's mouth ,And die in their ears, but some words don't die, they go into people's heart, and survive"

"Don't worry too much
It's not like you know everything about today,
Because you lived yesterday "

FINAL CONCLUSION:
A great underrated drama, Has clichés but was enjoyable. Every quote was relatable and beautiful words to describe life. I recommend this drama definitely!. Worth the watch.

Slow and steady doesn't win the race.

I feel like an red flag or an absolute idiot for rating this drama so low and dropping it. Because the drama is very cute, healing, slow paced and so much green flag energy. I mean hating this drama makes me feel like I'm the problem.

The drama's visuals was breathtaking. The main leads, the flowers, the setting, everything was super pretty, it makes you want to live in that exact place in China. The main leads looked so good in their work ethic. ML looked so good as a doctor.

The drama was slow then fast then slow again and they stuffed in a misunderstanding and thing become fast then slow again kinda confusing.

The story super slow for me, i felt like it could've been shorter, and some the misunderstandings they had made me cringe likeeee girl were not doing that here😬. When she misunderstood that the ML had a son... Mm made me cringe cause i can't even be mad this happens in alot of dramas.

The whole doctor-patient does work a little. I have already watched many dramas with the FL being a patient and the doctor being a doctor like "Sweet teeth". The reason I felt the medical field (TCM) was boring was because i couldn't understand anything, I kinda skipped it.

And don't even get me started with that ex. He had almost zero character than giving trauma, and then pretending like nothing happened and sucking up the FL. Like??? Whatt??. They could've gave some kind of character to him or not introduce him in the drama at all and replaced another way to give the FL some trauma

Overall it's a good drama maybe just not my taste, i just felt like they didn't get the pace right, the moment when everything was slow, it became fast, then slow again , and then another misunderstanding, it was like a whole cycle. Rather than that their love language was pure, so cute, and very wholesome. It's a great drama for an one time watch and I'll recommend to a slow burn watcher.

I would jump through time and space for you.

Mmm, This drama gets so much love on socials, The amount of edits i have seen and saved is crazy. First of all the casting was perfect, I think that's why this drama got famous and it skyrocketed all around the world. I felt like the writer was experimenting in the later half of the drama .

The first two episodes were good, like, the FL giving second-hand embarrassment, but turns out the ML likes her before she was a fan was good. Sunjae being an absolute loser in love was cute.

They gave a good second lead that wouldn't steal the whole show, but added some good jealousy and love triangle to the story. I didn't get second lead syndrome that much, but I did think Taesung was cute with Im sol.

Im sol was not appreciated enough for the whole show , cause she would sacrifice everything for the idol she loves, She has went through so much trauma, just to keep him safe. Her love is very pure. Especially when she went back in time to never meet Sunjae and try to make her fate forget about Sunjae entirely by not meeting in the rain and everything.

The reason why the story went downhill and felt confusing was because of the thriller part of it, I still have so many questions, What motive did the villian have to chase Sunjae and Im sol many times?, How does Sunjae remember everything from the past?, Why couldn't Sunjae use his watch to time travel?, How did Sunjae become an idol even after he didn't meet Im sol ?, He only tried singing to win a phone for Im sol, then after Im sol went back to change her fate, Sunjae didn't want to enter that competition in the first place but only did for Im sol, but without meeting Im sol, How did he become an idol?. There are many holes in this drama that made it slightly mid tier. And you're telling me we spent the whole show waiting to see the villian's motive only to see him getting hit my truck???.

Yes I do think it's overrated just a little bit, since there are many hidden jems which is better than this, But at the end of the day , this is such a comfort show, The romance is cute, light hearted and binge worthy. I would recommend to the peeps who love a cute romcom with a hint of thriller and mystery.

Ex Mob and Ms. Mini

Okayy, The reviews on this drama may seem low, But don't let that stop you cause this drama was a perfect drama too watch after you watch some of the longer dramas or heavier dramas. This was a good binge worthy drama. I can definitely eat these type of dramas in one sitting. It's not underrated but it's not popular at the same time. I personally loved the drama so much , It was so refreshing to see some cheesy romance and clichés.

MAIN LEADS:
There both such sweethearts, honestly I haven't watched them in a drama before this one. Honestly loved their roles and them in this drama. They both suit their character very well, like Ji hwan looks like a vampire or mafia type man, and she looks bubbly,warm definitely the type to have a career associated with kids. Their chemistry was good.

SECOND LEADS:

Their trope is more like a book trope, I haven't watched or heard a single korean drama with accidental pregnancy trope. Either way they were super cute, it was my first time seeing the SML (Ji hwan's assistant) getting the girl. The SFL was a good friend too.

SIDE CHARACTERS:
The side characters are so funny and unhinged, Both the teams were so funny both the prosecutor's team and Ji hwan's team were so good at funny scenes, it was so entertaining. The SML was pretty annoying, idk why. I always skipped his scenes with the FL.

✅ It has every type of trope ever
✅ Has like a 730472 clichés (But it was good 🙂‍↕️)
✅ Found family trope was nice to watch

Maybe it would've been good if they removed some of the extra characters, and shortened the drama it would've been better. The visuals are pretty good .

QUOTE:
"We may be patient 100 times, but if we lose our temper just once, people only focus on that" - Ji hwan

I recommend this drama if you crave for a cheesy, funny,light hearted drama to watch after those really long ones, definitely worth the watch. It was very entertaining.

You don't get everything you want in life

At first, I didn’t expect Always Home to hit me the way it did. It’s calm, warm, and very slice-of-life, but slowly it grows on you. By the end, it feels like saying goodbye to people you actually know. The characters felt real, it felt like your grew with them.

MAIN LEADS
The main leads were honestly the heart of this drama. Their relationship felt very natural, no over-the-top drama, just quiet understanding and growth. I really liked how their bond developed slowly and realistically, especially the emotional support they gave each other during tough moments. They definitely chose the correct actors for the cast cause how well they fit their roles.

SECOND LEADS
The second leads were surprisingly good. They didn’t feel unnecessary or forced, and each of them had their own charm. I liked how they added depth to the story instead of distracting from the main couple. It was pretty shocking how SML didn't end with the SFL. Honestly I didn't expect as cdramas always usually give a happy ever after to every character. But i kinda liked it that way , i didn't enjoy the SFL that much.

LIKES
I loved the realistic portrayal of family, friendships, and daily life. The warmth of home, parents, and childhood memories was shown really well. The pacing was slow but comforting, and the drama felt very healing overall. It is kinda heartbreaking how real this drama is, the character who made us laugh the most (ML) is there person who made us cry, His dad passing, him losing his dream career, everything felt real. I first hated Lian Tan but he was the only person who gave comedy in serious situations.

FAV SCENE
My favourite scene has to be the quiet moments where everyone is together at home—simple conversations, meals, and laughter. Those scenes really captured the essence of the drama and made it feel very real.

CONCLUSION
Overall, Always Home is a comforting and heartwarming drama. It’s not about big twists but about life, growth, and relationships. I would recommend this drama to people who enjoy slice-of-life stories, family-centered dramas, and something calm and emotional rather than intense.

You own your feelings and I own mine.

This drama was super emotional. Definitely one of my favourite dramas ever. This came out 2 years ago but still remains trending, hand it's definitely worth it . I have read so many negative reviews saying that it did not live up to one's expectations and rushed ending but at the end it's definitely a drama i would recommend to every single person who's a beginner to the drama world.

Their wasn't one single mistake in this drama, Everything was so perfect and well written. The casting, The ost, the characters, the writting, the plot, the scenes not a single was bad. The catch phrase Viva la vida will definitely remain in my bottom of my heart forever.

I usually don't care for the ost that much but the music in this drama was so good I added it to my everyday playlists. The the visuals of 1995 Korean and vintage lighting was so good. Overall visual was just 10/10.

Let's start with the characters, Both the couples did an amazing job portraying their characters. The first couple dynamic was the chaotic couple who's always fighting but I loved they healed eachother as the show gradually goes on. They both had their own problems but at the end they found eachother. I never really understood Eun yu's problem her being adopted but also not?. But she was quick to reveal her feelings, and she was so straightforward too. Eun gyeol was such a good character who's love for music is just one top. We could see the emotions of him being the trophy and scared for messing up.

The second couple are absolute pookies. They were my favourite . Yi chan set the standards by learning sign language for her. He's so extroverted and she was introverted. He also made his friends learn sign language too so she won't be lonely, like Yi chan, The man you are!. I honestly need a seperate drama for them.

Their bromance is completely what makes the series enjoyable and funny. The father-son duo was just do pure and heart warming. The band members honestly needs to get the best use of found family trope ever. Their relationship was so funny and adorable. I wish they showed more of the band members personalities we only learned about the gangster guy, he was absolute cutie.

I think the actor who played the adult Yi chan needs like so many award cause he acted so good, he needs a seperate appreciation post for this drama alone, the raw emotions when he yelled at Eun gyeol at the club was so realistic.

Yi chan's song "A Song For You" for Eun gyeol was my favourite thing in this drama cause it felt like he said it with his whole heart. The very few lines he said in this song was:

"Looking back, I realized that this song wasn't the only thing you helped me complete. When I wanted something, when I felt like I lacked something, when I was in despair, and even at my most radiant moments, you were always there with me. You lied that you were my son. But you know what? For some reason, I felt as though you were like my father. Even though I have never experienced a father's love, I got to experience something similar thanks to you. Son, thank you. But in my next life, I'll be born as your father"

This was very meaningful, Him called eun gyeol his son was such a cute moment as he hated and thought he lied to him saying that he was his father.

I could see why everyone was saying the ending was rushed , they definitely needed another episode to clear things up cause I still want more things to be settled until Eun gyeol went to the future, like what is Chung ah's reaction to Yi chan losing his hearing?, what about the band members reaction?. The step mother actually got what she deserved (her acting was so good it made me want to slap her through the screen), i just wished they showed more.

The last two episodes made me bawl my eyes out seriously, but teaches you that if the fate is written it can't be changed. I thought they would have an happily ever after just like every time traveling drama but this drama is not like that.

There are so many good quotes from this drama, i really want to write in a study note to read again and again. Some of them are

"Life didn't have to be perfect for it to shine. It's the little moments that make your life twinkle, and happiness is what you experience when those moments come together."

"I can't hear your voice but I see it.
I can feel it. You shine the brightest when you're doing music."

And the title of this review is one of my favourite quote in this drama said by Chung ah.

I would recommend this drama to everyone who watches dramas and even people who don't watch dramas. An absolute masterpiece of a drama, Hoping for more dramas like this in the future.
Viva la Vida
Long live life.
