The Messiest Friendship in Kdrama History - And I'm here for it!
A Surprisingly Beautiful DramaYou and Everything Else was such a pleasant surprise and definitely one of the most underrated dramas of the year. It felt so well thought-out, and every scene had intention and weight behind it (with the exception of the random smoking scenes). Each character was beautifully developed to the point where there were moments I felt deep love and deep hatred for certain characters, especially Sangoen.
Female Friendships Done Right
I don’t think we get enough portrayals of the complexity of female friendships in media: the unspoken boundaries women have with each other, the envy, the bare vulnerability, and the subtle pretentiousness that sometimes shows up. This drama captured all of that. We got to see a friendship stand the test of time, but not in a conventional way. They argued, they fought, they hurt each other, and they even hated each other at certain points, yet they still cared so deeply. Their lives changed so drastically, and honestly, so many things went wrong between them that I wouldn’t have expected them to even be in the same room. But somehow, they were always drawn back to each other.
Forgiveness, Faith, and the Messiness of Love
My faith teaches me to love my enemies and forgive those who hurt me, but this show really put that idea to the test. Eunjong suffered a lot because of Sangoen’s pride and fear of connection, and she had every reason to hate her. But I don’t think she ever truly did. Sangoen basically ruined her love life and part of her career, yet Eunjong still found a way to forgive her and empathize with all the awful things Sangoen endured.
A Drama That Stayed With Me
Overall, I loved this drama. It’s the first time I’ve cried to a K-drama this year, and that alone says a lot.

Best Action Thriller of 2024!!!!
I recently finished watching "Flex x Cop" and I have to say, it was an absolute treat! From start to finish, the drama kept me hooked with its amazing action sequences and gripping storyline.Acting: The acting in "Flex x Cop" was phenomenal. The lead actor, who played Jin I-soo, truly brought his character to life. I-soo's journey from a spoiled playboy to a passionate crime fighter was so compelling to watch. The character development was one of the best I've seen in a K-Drama in a long time. The side characters also played significant roles, adding depth to the story. Their interactions with I-soo, especially with the female lead, Lee Gwang-nam, were heartwarming and realistic. Watching I-soo help Kwang-nam navigate her family drama and important case added so much to the overall narrative.
Plot: The plot of "Flex x Cop" was well-crafted with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers engaged. The character development was top-notch, especially for the main characters. I found myself rooting for them every step of the way. Even though some scenes were a bit unbelievable, the overall action and pacing made up for it.
Visuals: Visually, the drama was stunning. The cinematography captured the essence of each scene beautifully, enhancing the emotional impact of the storyline.
Overall, "Flex x Cop" was a fantastic watch that I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a thrilling and well-acted drama. Don't miss it!

A Legal Mystery That Keeps You Thinking
Law School (2021) was overall very well done. The storyline was intriguing and often encouraged critical thinking on the part of the viewer, which I really enjoyed. The build-up of the mystery, coupled with the character development, made the drama very engaging. For a 16-episode show, the pacing was surprisingly good, I didn’t feel bored at any point, which is rare.Professor Yang (Yoon) was easily the star of the cast. He wasn’t the most likable character, but he always kept you guessing. His wit and unapologetic stance made him such a fun character to watch. Han Joon-Hwi was also a solid character; he stayed consistent in his motivations and had a laid-back charm that balanced the intensity of the show. Kang Sol A was funny and relatable, while Ye-Seul was an absolute sweetheart who had to endure so much. Kang Sol B was a bit mean, but somehow you still end up feeling for her by the end.
Although there weren’t many huge twists in the mystery itself, it was still really satisfying to piece together all the clues as the story unfolded. Overall, this drama was smart, entertaining, and kept me invested from start to finish.

SINGLE’S INFERNO 4 FINALLY DELIVERS ON ROMANCE AND DRAMA
Spoiler-Free ThoughtsSingle’s Inferno 4 was just pure fun—filled with beautiful contestants, great chemistry, and just the right amount of drama. Love triangles? Oh, there were plenty. Love squares? Maybe even those, too. The season had its frustrating moments (those long episodes really tested my patience), but most of it was absolutely worth it. Whether you’re here for the romance, the competition, or just the chaotic interactions, this season delivered in a way the last one didn’t.
(Spoilers Ahead!)
Now, if you’re not a fan of Sian and Junseo, this review might not be for you. I won’t be debating their choices or justifying why I loved them. If you’re still here—welcome! Let’s get into it.
Single’s Inferno 4 exceeded my expectations. After the mess that was Season 3, I was worried we’d get another frustrating, predictable storyline filled with shallow connections and forced drama. Instead, we got a season where, for once, the contestants actually seemed like they wanted to find love. The drama was high, but it didn’t feel unnecessarily toxic. The cast was more mature, the interactions felt more natural, and we finally had couples who actually had chemistry.
The standout pairs? Sian & Junseo, and Dong Ho & Arin. The rest? Mid. Tae Hwan? Weird. Theo? Beautiful, but honestly, he felt like an AI-generated K-drama lead. He looked perfect, spoke perfectly, and did everything "right," but something about him just didn’t feel real. I have no doubt he’s a great guy, just not the right person for Sian.
SIAN AND JUNSEO: THE ONLY LOVE STORY THAT MATTERED
The amount of Sian hate this season was unreal, and honestly, I don’t get it. She followed her heart, and that’s exactly what the show is about. People acted like she was obligated to pick the "safe" guy, but love doesn’t work like that. Junseo made her heart race, and she chose him. Simple.
Was Junseo perfect? No. But the chemistry was undeniable, and the push-and-pull dynamic between them was what made the season worth watching. There was something raw and real about the way they connected, and you could see that they genuinely liked each other beyond the surface level.
I loved that Sian didn’t just pick the guy who adored her the most. She went with the person who challenged her, who made her feel something deeper than just comfort. And for that, I respect her.
DONG HO AND ARIN: THE UNDERSTATED POWER COUPLE
Dong Ho and Arin were the quiet but steady couple that provided a nice contrast to the Sian-Junseo chaos. Their relationship didn’t have the dramatic highs and lows, but it was clear that they were drawn to each other from the beginning. The way Dong Ho always gravitated back to Arin despite the distractions spoke volumes. He never played games, never wavered, and that made their connection feel real and solid.
I do wish we had seen more of their interactions because the editing seemed to focus too much on the love triangle drama instead. But from what we did get, they were one of the most wholesome and authentic couples of the season.
THE REST OF THE CAST: FORGETTABLE
The other couples? They existed. That’s about it.
Tae Hwan: Something about him felt... off. He gave me mixed signals the entire time, and his "I was waiting for someone to change my mind" excuse? Weak.
Theo: Beautiful, perfect, but almost too perfect. He felt like a carefully curated love interest rather than a real contestant. No personality flaws, no real emotional depth—just vibes. I admire his patience, but he was never going to be the one for Sian.
The rest: I’m struggling to even remember their names:(
FINAL THOUGHTS
Single’s Inferno 4 gave us romance, real chemistry, and just the right amount of drama. While the show still has production issues—choppy editing, some forced moments—it was a huge step up from the last season. Sian and Junseo carried this season (2nd half of it) , and I will stand by that.
If you didn’t like them, that’s fine, but for me? They made the season. I hope you have a wonderful day.
