A Memory In Media
This felt like remembering the lost days of youth: summer camp, first kisses, first heartbreaks. Hazy and beautiful, little detail and even less dialogue, the way memories are recalled. A truly artful coming-of-age story.Was this review helpful to you?

Drop The Entire Man
Pat needs to leave Elyse and Run needs to leave Fei Long. Every time Elyse stung Pat along or refused to admit his feelings, I wanted to shake that poor secretary and tell him to run far away. And, the Stockholm Syndrome in Run with Fei Long had me just throwing my hands up in defeat by the end. Like, good luck with that man, bestie: you're going to need it.Was this review helpful to you?
This isn't a BL and that's okay.
Reading the reviews for this one, I was apprehensive to start it, but the biggest complaint most people seemed to have is simply based on the fact they were expecting it to be a BL when it is actually a K-drama. "Not enough focus on the main couple/too much time spent with the side characters." That's just how k-dramas operate. "Instead of comedy, I got an emotional roller-coaster." That simply isn't true, there are many comedic moments, and also how is that a bad thing? "I thought I would get some BL vibes." It never marketed itself as a BL.The only criticisms I agree with are 1) yes Kang Minyu is an annoying pick-me and 2) yes Park Yunjae should man up and actually set boundaries with her.
So, put aside the expectations of getting any boyslove moments and enjoy the show for what it is: a lighthearted, comedic K-drama with a touch of magical realism.

Season 2 When??
I am 100% attached to Jeon Yu Bin now and will be watching everything he is in. I love the drama coming from self-discovery instead of yet another cheating plotline. It was an uncomplicated story that set itself up for a more drama-filled second season. SukFilm, if you are listening, please give these actors another chance to shine, I beg.Was this review helpful to you?

I Have So Many Questions
Why is there so little tennis in this tennis show? Why is the little sister so attached to this stranger immediately? Why is there no build up to the actual relationship? Why is the only good character the best friend who says "we don't need a man"?Was this review helpful to you?

Get Rid Of The Female Support Character
This show isn't anything amazing, but it is a cute enough watch. The main actor plays his naive character well, the main couple have they're cute moments, and the male support character even has his emotional scenes. But, like the title of the review says, get rid of the female support character. She adds nothing to the story except annoyance.I cannot believe the central threat of the show, the destruction of the earth, was solved by her incompetence. I was really hoping the writers were going for something like, the chef's grandmother (since they focused a lot on her in one episode) so was an Atlantean who married a human so he had a claim to deny the construction plans. But, it's just, the fsc trips and spills coffee on the world-ending device and that's somehow okay?? Write her out of the story and write a better ending.
