the last 2 eps had me bawling š hayatoās acting feels so natural, while taecyeonās emotional scenes absolutely kill me every time. itās another j-trauma plot, which iām already familiar with, but their relationship was still so beautiful to watch. i just wish they defined it more clearly throughout the eps instead of sticking to the whole āfriends with deep affectionā dynamic. everyone around them could already see how they truly felt about each other anyway š it was basically an open secret, so i wish theyād been a little bolder with their words or actions sometimes.
i really thought the writer was gonna use arata more later in the story, but it seems like he was mainly there to open ryuās eyes to that side of the world. it also felt kinda weird how fast ryu moved on from arata to johan, considering how significant arata was in his life before.
also⦠isnāt the title actually genius? like āsoulmateā but also āseoul mateā since johan is from seoul š a mate from seoul⦠thatās actually so smart.
VERY funny and entertaining superhero drama š never thought eun bin and eun wooās pairing would be this good but they were sooo fun together. and dae hoon??? god that man was cracking me up every single time 𤣠if heās in a comedy drama you already know the comedy part is gonna deliver. finished this way too fast i seriously need season 2 already š
itās a deep story about life and death but wrapped in such natural comedy from the cast. sometimes i catch myself imagining certain scenes as an anime and theyād honestly be a thousand times funnier šš
the rebooting parts can feel a bit boring at times, but thereās always something different happening after that, so i still enjoyed it overall. and their friendship⦠yeah iād die for a bond like that.
there are also so many famous guest actors appearing throughout the drama, you can really tell Nippon TV favored this project a lot with how stacked the guest cast is.
some scenes and timeline stuff can get confusing and probably couldāve been explained better, but aside from that, everything else was really nice.
Yeah, I've been describing it as shounen-ai/asexual. It's definitely got some romantic undertones going on (have…
yes! shounen ai/soft bl is the perfect way to describe their dynamic rn. tbh i hope they don't shut down the possibility considering the amount of not-so-bromance scenes they've shown in the series.
it doesnāt really feel like ābromanceā to me tbh, at least not by my standard. it lowkey feels like iām watching a BL in the making but in a horror fantasy setting lol. iād actually be happy if it turns out that way tbh
Skyās acting is really good. he does that serious idgaf vibe so well, but his facial expressions still slip through instead of just giving a flat poker face. his character is still super mysterious to me and i really wanna know more about him. same goes for Pete and his sister relationship, thereās something about it too
and Krist⦠how did they even turn him into something that unsettling š itās so spooky but in a really good way. and the fact that he can just hold a full conversation in Chinese with Wave is actually insane. his pronunciation is so clean, he definitely put in serious work for that
itās such a great look into how underground idols do events and stuff, especially the popularity ranking that literally decides your position š itās really interesting, and now i totally get eripiyo too because sheās got me wanting to stan maina as well š
i rarely watch cdramas bc the episode count always scares me off š but this one had me hooked till the very end. every episode was worth it. the cinematography was beautiful, the acting was insane especially xi weiās, and the chemistry between every couple felt so natural.
what i loved the most is how every character had their own story to tell. by the end, i couldnāt even fully hate the antagonists anymore bc you could understand why they turned out that way. and donāt even get me started on the alternate happy ending⦠it healed absolutely nothing š 10/10 drama for me fr
it was exciting at first, but episode by episode it just got kinda meh. nothing really stands out, and they missed a lot of details too. the plot feels super basic and simple, even with the mlās father case. the only thing keeping it watchable is yoo yoonseokās acting, heās so expressive and can switch into any character so easily. other than that, thereās really nothing that interesting going on.
This series looks pretty interesting, especially the cinematography. You donāt really see this kind of visual style in other GMMTV shows.
My only issue with the first episode is the pacing, it feels a bit too fast. I wish they took more time to introduce the characters and show what their lives were like before they met.
I was actually surprised by Seaās acting, he did really well even with just a cameo. This is my first time seeing Sky and Naniās dynamic too, and it honestly feels like more than just bromance with all the touches and dialogue.
Since itās tagged as LGBTQ+ on iQIYI, maybe weāll actually get something along those lines in the story.
it was a solid satirical black comedy, but honestly i felt kinda uncomfortable with how park chanwook tends to overdo those suggestive scenes just to cater to the male gaze
good thing i didnāt check the reviews here because i just finished it, and i gotta say the horror felt so fresh and good. itās hard to explain⦠itās not the ghosts themselves that are scary, itās the whole atmosphere that feels creepy. thereās also a bit of romance and comedy, and it actually works really well in this horror series. iād say just watch it yourself and judge it on your own!
Yes since I had no idea of the story so that was really unexpected how it turned⦠it was done so lovely⦠I…
no actually i was FURIOUS at first like why are they suddenly arguing and miscommunicating out of nowhere⦠then next thing i know iām already crying lol
iād give this a 7 if the writing was decent, but every ep just keeps disappointing me as a fan š beckyās acting is okay in some scenes, but her nanno doesnāt feel as creepy as kittyās at all
Idk if itās just me but how did this episode go from total chaos at the wedding, Pai finding out the truth, and getting disowned by his family all in one night⦠to them casually living together by the end?? š
And North not even being mad at Tim like I expected?? That part really threw me off.
Also, it feels like the story is downplaying Paiās pain. He literally loves Tim so much, so it makes zero sense for Tim to just act normal like nothing happened⦠kissing his cheek and everything like hello?? what are you doing š
Iām actually annoyed theyāre trying to push cute moments right now. If anything, Pai shouldāve taken time away from Tim to process everything and figure out his feelings first.
