Title Bloodhounds Spoiler
Dropped this on ep 6. Whilst the fight scenes were great, the script and storyline were really weak. The first…
So you have taken out two of the most important guys in the villain's organisation and despite showing 5 minutes before how well the grandfather would understand his thinking, they just sit back and relax. Despite the constant "this isn't going to end till one of us dies" lines being repeated? So in ep 6 everyone just gets gruesomely murdered and for what? It just felt like a cheap shot to pull at the audiences heart strings.

And like the main guys get through on pure brawns zero brains. It's fun to watch that in a movie but in a drama, where this leads to no character development the fun of the fight scenes sizzle out really fast.

Title Bloodhounds
Dropped this on ep 6. Whilst the fight scenes were great, the script and storyline were really weak. The first 3 episodes were almost a yawn to watch apart from the fight scenes and the next 3 you could see the cheap shots the writer was going to pull to make the audiences feel something (because the script really isn't going to- it's so dull).

The way the characters were written, apart form the two main guys, were just so dumb. I kept watching it hoping it would get better but halfway through ep 6 I saw the writing on the wall and just stopped. It's all brawns, no brains and very little heart.

Only the actions scenes are directed and choreographed well.

Adorable but a little messy. There are just too many episodes and the tonal shift towards the end was awkwardly written in. Felt like the writer wanted to throw in a last minute message that didn't really match the rest of the drama.

The cuteness of the kid and the chemistry between the CP is good although the director did tooooo many of the almost-kisses so it got annoying. I think their previous drama together was better, although both actually have improved acting in this. Esp the FL was written better in this compared to Once We Get Married.

Overall - just an ok watch. It's your typical C-drama with good leads but weak story and script.

Title Black Knight
I have to say I enjoyed this quite a bit. Woo Bin's acting was great and for me he really pulled this show through.

Whilst not totally an original concept, the plot and story could still stand on its own if it wasn't for the fact that it was so freaking short. It should have at least been 10 eps long. IMO they didn't have enough time to explore the characters, pro and antagonistic. It felt like it was over before it began and that left me feeling like Sa Wol was the most pointless main character in the show. You could literally have the show without his character and it would basically be the same. That's not to say anything about the actor playing him but rather the length of the series makes his character more or less pointless. And the villain could have been good but ended being a cartoon bad guy because there was no time given to explore his side.

Overall though - still a good watch, well acted, some loopholes but you can ignore those and easily enjoy this series.

Tried to love it as so many here do but by ep 27 I really felt like the story had completed itself and more than that would just be angst that is not required. I did like the part of the story she went to collect the soul shards and the comedy is decent. But personally I couldn't feel any chemistry between the leads and the second couple ML needs a couple more acting lessons before he can be good.

I did like the relationship between the sisters though- that was my favourite part of the show.

The sports scenes are a little disappointing to me. I was expecting more than just a few cuts of Wu Lei hitting…
I do think that the discussions were decent, some even very well written and acted. I just think it ended up taking over what was essentially a sports/romance drama. I guess I had a the same feeling with run on where I just couldn't get into the way the drama was presented- despite the fact that I often do love script heavy dramas.

Dropped at ep 19. Sorry Leo- I tried. Not the best noona romance, couldn't really feel the chemistry from the FL. I think she just couldn't match ML's energy/acting. I don't know what it was that I just couldn't feel in this drama - it just felt like 19 eps in nothing much is happening. Even sports wise, which normally I ffwd through I was like c'mon can we see some progress in his tennis??

The characters are all likeable and the start was decent enough but it just seems to be going no where. I think this could have been better if it had less episodes so we didn't waste so much time on so many side stories eg the boss.

Maybe because this drama relies on conversations a lot - they do a lot of telling as opposed to showing- which ended up making me disengage with the characters and plot. I hope Leo's next work has a tighter script/plot.

On The Glory Part 2 • Mar 13, 2023
This was a very satisfying watch. I really enjoyed it, watching the revenge finally play out from the horror of season 1 made your heart lighter. I wish there was more that could be done to perpetrators of extreme bullying. I hope if you have been bullied you have managed to find your peace, and if you are currently being bullied you can find the help you need.

All the cast members were amazing and it was just a great production. I have to say the antagonists out shined SHK but overall everyone was brilliant. There were small moments of humour and romance which I actually was grateful for because it would have been too depressing without those small parts of relief.

If you are looking for something really dark but satisfying I highly recommend this series.

Super cute romcom. It took me about 10 mins to adjust to the OTT of the FL but after that you really fall in love with her. Taira Yuna did a great job in making a very silly girl to be likeable. I enjoyed this for what it was - a cute fluffy romcom that will leave you with a smile on your face.

I had been avoiding this cause the title was sus but this is totally worth the watch!

Some of the MDL users here clearly seem to be living in a perfect world. Ya'll addiction is disease and the solution is treatment not exclusive jail time. That helps nobody.

Like a poster below said - if he's selling it then yes put him in jail, if he's made the mistake of using and getting addicted (which it seems like he has) then for God's sake he needs help not punishment. Have you even heard of the opioid endemic than seemingly has erased middle class America?
