Spot on how they showed the "good" and "bad" sides of the magic. Sure, being confronted with how people think of him Adachi gained more confidence, but he also recognized how he starts to rely on siad power too much and how knowing everyone's thoughts is not really an ideal situation.

Great review! :)

When the drama dropped on netflix literally everyone who watched it was going on and on on feeds about how much of cliche drama oppa he is, but how it suits him so well and we ain't even mad 🤣

the show became more and more addictive with each episode passing < this for sure. While i got annoyed with the plot twists, it was an engaging watch for sure.

You can never have a romance drama without the murder mystery < I honestly don't know why this trend in kdramas still exists 🤣 now, it's so hard to find just a rom-com without any thriller mystery sub=plots going on hahaha

great review!
There was actually a controversy about it being "too similar" to The Fault in our Stars, but at the end of the day, nothing really came out of it.

They just need to remove Ju Mi from the house and get her the panelist role 🤣

As much as I like Ji Young and think she is a nice person, I am getting REALLY frustrated how much of the focus she gets. This ain't k-drama where we have main and supporting characters. I rather watch others interact with each other even in a non romantic setting than the screentime being on her so much...

Drunk Gyeo Re is amazing. Min Gyu running after him is A+

thoughts on the performances from ep 5

🚘Rush Hour
Damn they were not on the same page about the vibe. Nana does not fit the loose type of dance, she is far better with sharp moves, so it felt a bit awkward.
Yeoreum interpreted the song probably the best. She had this street feel to it, but with her own unique charm.
Was it Zoa in the middle singing during first chorus? Damn it was awkward to watch.
Yeeun fitted the song well and had great styling. Also, she needs to rap with lower tones more, it fits her so much.


They had amazing ideas for the stage and the transitions between sections, but the whole performance lacked the energy and it felt just too... cute while also trying to be swag? Also, while it was good for the video format, if I was an live audience member it would feel a bit all over the place and I would have no idea where to look 🤣

🌞Weekend
Not gonna lie, just the intro put a smile on my face. This shit adorable. And i'm not even fan of the song, since it's not my style.
Seo Yeon is probably one of my favorites now. She really gets into the character.
But... honestly the performance overall was rather boring. As much as I thought Rush Hour was not that great either, it was still better than Weekend. Girls in Weekend should have thought how to make the performance seem more dynamic. I liked the rap part. I wanted them to be less soft in vocals and more fresh and bubbly.

🥲If We Ever Meet Again
Vocal wise I have nothing more to say than that they killed it. Usually I prefer Kei's tone, but here I actually enjoyed Bora's parts more. My favorite part both vocally and visually wise - Bora's hitting that high note right before bridge. that said... because their tones are a bit similar the chorus and ad-libs blended a bit toooooo much and honestly the last section of the song was not that enjoyable to listen to.

💘 Hopeless Romantic
Dohwa leading the meeting with the producer in a strong unnie way was the best thing EVER 🤣
The stage was PERFECTION. Love how simplistic it was because it perfectly fitted the song and the meaning behind it. They picked exactly the right members to singing. I cried. Juri's voice was AMAZING and literally made to for this song. Probably my favorite performance from the whole show so far.

⭐Wannabe
I liked the guitar idea but that was such a weak smash 😅 Riina needs some time in front of the mirror. She has the same face in all song - this smiling one. And for some songs it's just not fitting. I think she needs to learn to relax it more. Unpopular opinion (?), but Sangha is not that good of a rapper 🙂 I don't know... the stage was rather boring...

⏳Time Of Our Life
Liked it more than Wannabe, but I wish the girls were more carefree and energetic and less cute. I really wanted to feel that unlimited energy teens have 😅 Loved the idea of taking the photo with the audience. That was literally brilliant. It;s basically saying the time of their lives was right there performing and the audience is part of it, so they want to keep it as an amazing memory.

But that's exactly it - if it's not your style it bores you, because you don't find it fun, entertaining, engaging. Seeing something as either fun or boring is literally based only on someone's preferences.

Personally I loved it, but I overall do not like makjang and find them boring, even tho technically speaking they are literally made to shock and excite the viewers. But for me the over the top plots are so ridiculous I feel completely disconnected from what's happening on screen, hence I am bored.

yo.. i can;t move on 🤣

Me remembering him from Heartstrings left me even more speechless hahaha

Not gonna lie, this show made me feel pathetic - reminded of my young teen self getting obsessed over the rich entitled oppas. It’s been ages since an oppa oppaing so hard evoked so many emotions in me. He served us nothing, but served so much. The never changing face, monotone line delivery, 2-dimensional writing spiced up with all the possible cliches - all that to deliver the truest oppa ever.

Surprisingly enough, no matter how ridiculous, unrealistic and over the top the drama might have been (which, by the way, were all the reasons I loved it so much), it actually had some thought-provoking scenes and moments. Social commentary dressed as fancy makjang? That might be an overstatement, but I’d be lying if I said it did not present even one aspect worth reflecting on. Basing your worth on your popularity, addiction to attention, seeing people around you as tools to be used and discarded when they stop being useful, how far can one go to achieve success, differences in how people perceive reality depending on their socioeconomic status and more. Bits and pieces of potential, all overshadowed by the entertainment.

I don't watch trailers, but it's usually how dramas like that work. He will probably die coz of the ghost that posessed FL and that will ne the turning point for him yo believe in all that and join them to figure out the fuck is going on and get rid off the ghost

Watch the older detective die soon 😅 That would explain why he ain;t in the main cast

basically sums up the whole show 🤣

On one hand last episodes were rather boring because they were not dynamic enough (all had like one person they focused on, and these shits are like 2 hours long... I need me more diversity of who they focus on and what is overall going on at the house), but also that truth game at the end of episode 7 was just A fucking + entertainment and so funny 😅

I feel bad for Min Gyu. He obviously hates when shit gets complicated and it more simple in approach and overall being, but EVERYTHING is complicated for him right now hahaha I want to take him to a bar so he can drink and just chill and not be so stressed out hahaha

Am I the only one who finds the set up in this drama painfully ridiculous for this type of plot? 🤡

Yeah but her being main singer means not picking other main singer that might overshadow her 🤣 not picking other good singers is not out of her good heart 😅 it's also a tactic the shine not only against the other team but also on her own team. Nothing wrong with thay tho, as i said it is a competition

This comment section is probably the last comment section I would expect to see some drama on.
MDL is a surprising place 🤣

Okay, Bora did nothing wrong trying to make her team of Snap better and more balanced. It is a competition, they are supposed to want to win. But saying she tried to created both teams in a balanced way is a bit ridiculous when she took all the rappers to her team, and left the other team with zero rappers for a song that requires 3 rappers 😅

Watched both Nxde and Fighting on youtube... and i honestly prefer Fighting as a performance.
I was truly AMAZED with Nxde's opening, but I think they overdone the strings. Something that created an amazing intro became a bit overwhelming and actually limiting for the performance. Like the dance break... that did not really show much dancing, just them creating shapes with said strings. I think it would be smarted and created more dynamic performance is they either kept it only for the intro (this I would prefer) or the dance break. And for sure not sure it at all in the verse and chorus and basically any other part of the stage...
