A perfect classic.

First we really can't avoid to immediately compare it to the first adaptation and it has a very special place in my heart.

This time, well what can I say... the best adaptation I seen for a while. The story and pacing is good. The cast are amazing. Songs are remarkable. Chemistry is top notch. Acting is spectacular. I was invested like I am part of the family. I love everything about it, and I can't explain it in words. I just know that I am not myself after this. It influenced me, inspired me, and taught me things that I can't comprehend. So, thank you and will surely wait for its continuation.

So far the most wholesome series this year

My School President is essentially a live evidence that even young romance can be magically mundane. The fact that this show has a heart is what I admire about it the most. Though we look for angsty stories, we always return to storylines that make us laugh, characters that take our breath away and make us swoon, and songs that fill us up with pulsations after pulsations of joy. This is because it expresses emotions so vividly and delivers humor immaculately.

Without the necessity for kisses that most BLs display, MSP provides us all the wonderful emotions, but instead shows us the puppy love of two high school boys becoming in love through Tinn secretly assisting Gun to both of them finding comfort with one another and maturing. And the harmonious bond they share serves as a benchmark for relationships. Understanding and communication.

From the story, acting, and music, it was beautifully well done. Especially, fourth, bro is going places for sure.

Oh the songs are all bops!

A hundred percent recommendable. Even myself back then, promised not to watch anymore high school theme and yet here I am. <3

Well...

I rated season 1 a 10 and this would be 9.

So here, while Sweet Home Season 2 maintains the intense horror and suspense elements that made Season 1 a hit, some viewers including me might find that the sequel falls slightly short of the original. Season 1 introduced us to the terrifying world inside Green Home Apartments, creating a unique atmosphere and establishing a strong connection with the characters. In Season 2, the shift to the outside world and the introduction of new characters may be seen by some as a departure from what made the first season so captivating. While Season 2 has its own merits, including increased action and deeper character exploration, those who were enamored with the claustrophobic and intense setting of Season 1 might find themselves longing for the initial thrill that hooked them into the series. Actually, it ultimately comes down to personal preferences, and while Season 2 is undeniably gripping, some may argue that Season 1 holds a special place in their hearts.

Still recommendable and I'll rewatch the two seasons until s3 comes out and it should better be as great as the first season.

Shadows of Morality

A Killer Paradox unfolds as a captivating narrative where the shadows of morality play a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of its characters.

Lee Tang, an unsuspecting college student turned supernatural avenger, thrusts us into a world where the lines between right and wrong blur. As he discovers his ability to identify 'bad seeds,' the storyline delves into the intricate dance between justice and morality. The cold-blooded detective, a relentless pursuer, adds layers to the unseen war that unfolds within the narrative.

The acting is top-notch, delivering both comedy and gore in a way that hits the sweet spot.
The storyline? It's like a dark, twisted fairy tale that you never saw coming.

A must watch really like its a cinematic masterpiece, minus the clichés, with every episode leaving you hungry for more of this dark and intriguing tale.

Nonetheless a great trilogy...

Season 3 perfectly wraps up the series.

Though I have 3 concerns
First the stadium, once a sanctuary, becomes a chaotic battleground, which is gripping but sometimes feels inconsistent.
Second, Eun Hyeok's transformation from the cocoon is a standout moment, though it raises questions for neohuman stuffs that aren't fully answered.
Last is the girl with the power to turn humans into monsters feels underutilized and somewhat irrelevant to the overall plot, leaving a sense that her potential was wasted.

Well despite these issues, this season beautifully melds the action and character depth from Season 2 with the intense, iconic feel of Season 1. It’s a satisfying and emotional conclusion to a series that kept me hooked from start to finish.

Yup, this last season is better than the last season of Game of Thrones lol

PS
S1 > S3 > S2

and I will rewatch it all again.

Diving into Darkness

Alright, buckle up, because "Evilive" is a wild ride into the shadows of morality that left me questioning everything I thought I knew about good and evil. Han Dong Soo, the straight-laced lawyer, takes a detour into the criminal underworld, and let me tell you, it's a journey you won't forget.

Picture this: Dong Soo, the seemingly rational guy, starts visiting prisoners randomly, and damn! He's knee-deep in crime, facing the demons in his own mind. The internal conflict is real, and you can almost see the battle between his usual calm self and the darkness lurking within. It's like watching a moral tightrope walk, and I couldn't look away.

Now, the relationship between Dong Soo and his half-brother, Beom Jae, is the emotional heart of the story. Beom Jae serving as a case broker adds a layer of family drama that hits hard. When Beom Jae realizes Dong Soo ain't the same brother anymore, especially with this shady case involving Seo Do Young, you can cut the tension with a knife.

Seo Do Young, oh boy, he's a piece of work. The #2 crime guy with a baseball player past and a charming exterior that hides his dark side. It's like peeling an onion, layer by layer, and you never know what you'll find. The mystery surrounding him keeps you guessing, and his charisma is downright chilling.

The pacing is spot-on, keeping me on the edge of my seat as Dong Soo and company navigate this morally messed-up world. The psychological toll of crossing lines is in your face, making you question justice and morality alongside the characters.

Sure, there are moments where the plot could use a bit more seasoning, and some characters could use a sprinkle more development. But let me tell you, these nitpicks don't dull the impact of the show. It's a gripping exploration of the human mind, morality, and the blurry line between right and wrong.

"Evilive" is a must-watch for anyone who loves a dark and thrilling story that sticks with you. With a cast that knocks it out of the park and a plot that keeps you guessing, this series left me wierdly wrecked in the best possible way.

kim taeri with guns is may favorite genre

Entertainment at its best! All cast did really well portray those characters. I want to watch it again with sister cuz for sure she would love this.

What I really love the most is the comedic timing in those unexpected times. It is a classic I fear... that I am okay with that cliffhanger at the end?!?!?!?

Maybe I will re watch this many times before the second movie comes out. I really enjoyed it and now I need kim taeri to act in small screens again! ( A kdrama I mean.) I got news that she has one next year omg I am very excited.

This review is turning into a fan-bias, so I'll just stop it here.

Definitely recommended, so watch it. <3

Deaths Game is an emotional ride that grabs you from the first moment. Choi Yi Jae's life is basically a series of unfortunate events—unemployment, a betrayed heart, and the classic falling-for-a-bitcoin-scam disaster. But when he decides to take a dark turn, Death herself steps in with a wicked game. The top-notch cast delivers performances that hit the right emotional chords, and the cameos add extra flavor. The storyline, with its mix of genres, keeps you guessing, and the concept of experiencing death through 12 other lives adds a unique twist. The ending, though somewhat expected, feels just right for the narrative. What's impressive is the intentional cut after the final scene; it's like the creators want us to focus on the emotional weight rather than wondering about the future. Deaths Game is not just about dying and living—it's a gut-wrenching exploration of life's complexities and the resilience to start anew.

A must watch for a ride that'll tug at your heartstrings and leave you contemplating the layers of existence.

This is so good that I forgot to review this last year.

Yes thats right I was speechless. I didnt know what else to do after watching such masterpeice.

The monster is just us.

Is it bad? or Is it good? Do we have to tamed ourselves? Should we feed it? Should we embrace it? Should we kill it? Can we run? Can we stop? Can we look back?

We actually dont know.
Does it matter? ...

As long there is happiness to everyone.

This Thai take on Rashomon unfortunately falls below expectations. It's labeled the worst version, and while it attempts to capture the essence of the original, it seems to miss the mark. The storytelling lacks the punch and depth that made Rashomon a classic, leaving The Outrage struggling to live up to its predecessor's legacy.

a survival game done right!

This is one of the few shows that deserves a season 2. You will not be disappointed, it was so satisfying and it all does makes sense!

The story is well-written and hands down to the cast here. They delivered it well. Especially, kento yamazaki what a great actor still, he doesn't have a limit. Looking forward to your future projects sir.

Really recommended to watch this. It teaches us about life, family, and friends, also strangers that youve met in just even a minute or so might have an impact in your life.

I might rewatch this anytime. It is that good.

Strongberry did it again.

For sure, this show will be remembered and treasured. I know the production is not that big but it was done well and you will see the effort.

I think we deserved sometimes a light, sweet, cute , a bit of fun , touching, and has a happy ending story.

I love all the cast but Milk really got my attention. I know many of you will agree.

Recommend you to watch this for you all will love the characters.

and oh they KISS kiss!

PS.
I really thought this will have a S2 because of that end credits but I know it will not happened. ( The restaurants says closed )lol

If Im gonna say I didn't enjoy it a little, Id be lying.

I somehow like the first half ish of the show but the rest is a mess.
Badly written and not well executed story.
Also badly written characters.
Typical k drama story line pattern.
Average drama. it's watchable, nothing else.

In a good note, I love the osts and the cast.
Sad to see them in a roles like this. It is like witnessing a shining beacons on the top of a stagnant river.

Recommendable to watch it if you knew and like the cast but if not, its good to pick another show.

"Alexa play the song, what is this feeling by ariana and cynthia"

what should I say to this? this left me stare at the wall like in forever. I really glad that I forced myself to watch this because last year I was hesitant and though got me interested I dont have spare time to watch. And now my vacation days are over and Im going back to reality as a student. How I wish there is also a Spirealm game here in this world.

back to the show, ---great plot (I predicted so many things here including the ending) ; perfect cast ; nice songs ;and the chemistry of all characters are great.

I think Im gonna be obsessed with it in weeks. Well it has been a very long time since I felt this with a chinese show. Can anyone recommend something like this, I will appreciate it so much. Really really love thisss.

Edit: After few hours of searching and wanted to try other show like this, Im still coming back to this gosh im in a blackhole!
