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

"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!

A part of me wants a sequel

I guess this is an unpopular opinion of mine but after giggling, crying, smiling, and all the feels, I wanted more of them. I just love watching them planning and the same time being lovers while doing revenges. The real definition of partners in crime.

The story we know is rampant in kdramas but this time a different flavor and I love that.
A strong storytelling, and great ending. No questions unanswered.

Of course Lee Do Hyun surely did a great job, no surprise at all. He is one of the great actor in korea in my opinion. He knows what to pick a show by the way. His filmography is great and vast.
I know Song Hye Kyo is a great actress also, actually its my first time watching her, apologies queen yeah I didn't watch DOTS yet and her some famous works but right now will check it out!.

The music is good in every scene and ending.

Surely will rewatch this. I miss them atm. Really recommendable.

PS. So excited for LDH's and SHK's new dramas! <3

I thought this is gonna great because I really like the promising start, but it turns out I've been disappointed.

The story pointed out is nice though but its getting bad and nonsense as it progress. The characters are a bit annoying and their actions is so stupid and it was not in their roles to portray, it is just bad and lazy writing.

The acting is just meh. I don't really have a connection to them, except sometimes for the actor of the author seon ho. I like the guy he's funny sometimes and natural.

Overall, it was just light. nothing special. They wasted the potential.

Probably my favorite historical-fantasy drama

I write this because I want to remember how this show affected me. I re watch this many times and only this moment I finally thought to write a review.

A wonderful show that's it.

Definitely recommended you to watch it and its getting better if you rewatch it with your friends and family... the feels idk.
Anyways the cast are great, the osts, ( oh I love "just watching you by jeong sewoon :((((<3 ) and the show itself is so good.

I just wish this will have more seasons and be consistent of the good writing and directing, for sure I will be there to watch it.

ps. Can not wait for december! :>>>>>

Work of Art!

talented, brilliant, incredible,amazing, show stopping, spectacular,never the same.

emotions were a roller coaster ride. yet worth it.

It is about almost reckless courage, self-denying dedication, and a desperate search for a better future. It is a drama about love and seeing all your hopes crumble. It is about revealing a truth so grand that one’s mind cannot grasp it.

The colour, the light, the texture of real life, would clutter up your eye and distract you from the lovely artifice.

I might rewatch this when Im feeling lonely.

Assassin's Riddle

So this is a gripping story that follows Jian, a college student, who finds herself in the midst of murder and mystery after her uncle's suspicious death.

The plot is filled with action, including gunfire, murder drones, and a group of assassins targeting Jian for unknown reasons. Trapped in her uncle's home, Jian must use the unique training he gave her to stay alive.

The series combines suspense with humor and features impressive action scenes. The storyline is full of unexpected twists and turns, keeping the audience engaged.

And let's not forget, Lee Dong Wook's performance is outstanding.

"A Shop for Killers" will leave you wanting more, and trust me when I say it's clear that a second season is a must for fans of the show!

MOTHER

In most dramas, it typically gets less interesting as the episodes go on, but this is not the case with this gem. As the story progress, its getting better and better and ended with the most beautiful and perfect denouement. Yet, viewers can also continue the tale if they want to in their imagination.

The acting and the music is top notch. The pacing is excellent and the comedic timing, chefs kiss.

Also the way she was portrayed as a queen, a mother, and a woman was so pure and glorious. The queen is a mother , not just to her offspring. depending on the circumstance, can be firm or gentle demands, and they are all made out of genuine love and concern, women protect women. This also shows us that just because they are a mother and an adult does not mean they are right all the time, and I think that is so okay and humane.

A must watch for its one of the best historical dramas to have recently been released. It has good writing, smart decisions, and is intriguing.

As the queen says if I remember correctly, "Even between parent and child, it takes time for wounds to heal, such that some things are unspoken but still understood," .that is so real. And at the end of the day, the children will also protect their mother.

I'll make it short...

Strong Girl Namsoon had a cool premise with the mix of the different approaches of feminism, but the story went off the rails.
Kang Nam Soon's search for her parents in Gangnam turns into this weird drug case involving her family, and it just feels forced.
The detective subplot is okay, but they threw in a villain, Ryu Si Oh, who's the only thing worth watching.
The writing is a mess, though.
No clear direction, and it feels like the writers lost their way.
The family dynamics are interesting, but the lackluster plot overshadows it.
Despite some cool action scenes and good performances, the show doesn't live up to its potential—just a letdown.
The series could have done better in delivering a more coherent and empowering feminist storyline.

( I'm being generous here so I gave 8 because I'll be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a bit )

okay I watch this mainly for yeo jin goo and I know some actors are really good, and I have time so yeah...

The idea was fantastic, the characters seemed genuine. Up until a specific scene inside a warehouse pulls the rug out from under everything that has been built up and spills this into the realm of disposable Korean thrillers, well the ride is entertaining.

The majority of it was tied together with knots, which was fine for the most part but seemed overly complicated toward the end, as if an additional knot had been tied on top of an already perfect knot to create a tangled mess.

Also, I thought that toward the end, the monster aspect wasn't really addressed. They did a nice job of constructing it, but then they just threw it away. What was the purpose then? Additionally, the movie does that thing at the conclusion where people suddenly stop feeling pain. How is he still standing, Idk? I don't care.

Anyways, this time around, the crime family feels much more vulnerable and in danger. I also appreciate the film's really enjoyable action scenes and the fact that Yeo Jin goo's motivation for retaliation feels so deeply personal.

Yes, the acting really caried this movie. and still recommendable to watch.

iconic but too much

I liked the vibes. I liked the acting, the aethetics. I liked the plot.

At first it was intriguing and new. But as episodeds go on the plot keeps going back in circle. It is slow to the point that the story has no progress. Thanks it has only seven episodes. If this should have been a movie then it will be perfect.

To be honest, I did not actually enjoyed as much but still I liked it.

If everyone decide to corroborate a lie, then it become the truth

A well executed mystery story and with the side of youth. I love how they slowly uncover the truth , there is no boring episode and you will enjoy it so much.

Love the cast and the acting, you really can connect to them.

Though, I guess we should have see the story about the squad, I think there is more to that than being them a backstabbing gays lol. They deserve better storyline I think. But Its the twin sisters story so its understandable.

Really recommended you to watch it. Its a unique kind of revenge dramas.

Oh I cant move one. I need a prequel with the squad. I need to know what happens before. , they're just so happy and lovely with each other. <3

Best Actor Yeo Jin Goo

I watched this more or less a month ago and I forgot to write a review. So, here it is.

I think this show was the most memorable historical drama I have watched in terms of acting. Though I have not watched many historicals but for me this is unforgettable. The musical score and cinematography is one of the best here. The story is so engaging and the script is well-written.

Also, you will laugh, cry, be angry, sad, happy and satisfied. All emotions you will feel are in this show, but not in an exaggerated way and I think thats good.

Damn, the acting, all cast did their best but jin goo really standout for me. He is so good portraying those two characters.

Anyways a must watch. I enjoyed this.

Oh, I love the poster so much.

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.
