One of the best things I have watched this year!

As I mentioned in the headline, this drama was one of the best things I have watched this year. The characters were all so well-written that I enjoyed everyone's story and never felt even a bit bored. Even the "bad" characters won my heart in the end because they weren't just plainly "selfish" and "evil." Watching Dahae's and Gwi-ju's families was incredibly fun.

Some people didn't really like the male leads because they seemed boring to them, but for me, it was the opposite. It was more of a slow burn, but I truly felt the chemistry and connection between the two leads. In some scenes, I was on the verge of tears because it felt so real. This drama had a good mix of fantasy and realism. It also showed us how everyone dealt with their own problems, like depression, different kinds of fears, and the feeling of being lonely and misunderstood.

The drama's ability to blend humor with heartfelt moments created a unique viewing experience that was both entertaining and emotionally resonant. The cinematography and soundtrack were outstanding, enhancing the overall atmosphere and making certain scenes even more impactful. Additionally, the cultural insights the drama provided, portraying family dynamics and societal issues in a nuanced and authentic way, were commendable.

The supporting characters, especially the elderly family members, were particularly noteworthy for their depth and the wisdom they imparted throughout the series. Overall, "Atypical Family" stands out not just for its story but for the way it connects with the audience on a personal level, making it a memorable and must-watch drama.

The Wait Was Worth It: A Journey of Healing and Heart

After waiting years for Weak Hero Class 2, I was beyond excited and it absolutely delivered. We follow Sieun as he starts at a new school, still carrying the weight of his past and mental struggles. The flashbacks showing his trauma were incredibly well done and truly heart-wrenching.

At his new school, we meet fresh faces like Juntae—super cute and kind, he reminded me a lot of Sieun in season 1. Their friendship felt so genuine. Hyo Man, who seemed like the typical early-season villain, turned out to be unexpectedly funny and refreshing. Then came Humin and Hyeon Tak, who balanced out Sieun’s world perfectly. Humin (aka Baku) especially stole the show he had me laughing, crying, and everything in between. His role was spot-on.

This season was really about Sieun’s slow healing through new friendships. The way the show handled that emotional growth especially through those flashbacks was beautiful. It hit hard in the best way.

And the fight scenes? Absolutely insane. Even more intense than season 1. Each one was emotionally charged, raw, and masterfully choreographed. They didn’t just look cool they meant something.

Some were disappointed about Suho’s limited screen time, but I didn’t mind. This season wasn’t his story it was Sieun’s, and it told it incredibly well.

A raw, emotional, action-packed season that hit all the right notes. I loved every second

One of the worst dramas I have watched so far!!!

Tale of the Nine-Tailed had a lot of potential but ended up being a huge letdown. The main leads had no chemistry whatsoever; their relationship felt rushed and unearned, especially after Ji Ah’s rebirth where they fell in love again with barely any real connection shown. The show constantly sacrificed Lee Rang the best, most layered character to create cheap emotional moments instead of giving him real growth. The CGI was embarrassingly bad for a fantasy drama, making fight scenes and mythical creatures look fake and distracting. On top of that, the story was poorly paced, villains were weak, and the writing often relied on clichés instead of developing the rich world it hinted at. In the end, it wasted its best assets and left very little to actually care about. Wouldn’t recommend at all!!!
