Really bad and disappointing.

My rating of this movie is 0.5/10 but when you write a review your rating must be between 1 and 10.

Before this movie was released, with each trailer for it, my expectations were getting bigger. In the end, I did not see it until 2022 and I am very disappointed.

The acting was sometimes good and sometimes average. Far too many scenes with the camera shaking. There were so many of them that I started to wonder if it was really on purpose. A lot of scenes with close-ups on the faces of the characters. Some of them looked strange. I really think there should be fewer scenes like this.

The plot idea itself was really good, but the execution was very poor. The whole thing was terribly boring and tiring for me.

The last twenty minutes is the best done part of this movie, but when you watch it you are so tired of the rest of the movie that it is not easy to appreciate it.

Rei is supposed to be in love, but since high school she has shown a great desire to have sex with Nanae. It has been mentioned too many times for me.

Some things really feel like lesbophobia.

I really didn't like this movie. I hate it.

I enjoyes this drama.

UPDATE AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA
I really like to watch good dramas of this type sometimes. And I think this is one of them.

There's a sweet romance mixed with some serious scenes and issues. There are also quite a lot of funny scenes.
I've seen a few comments that in their relationship the main characters act like teenagers even though they are lawyers. And what's the problem here? It's good not to be serious all the time. They were not irresponsible and have learned to communicate with each other over time, which is good. In my opinion, it was a really mature relationship.

It was obvious from the first episodes that the story of the Dohan Company and their crimes would have to be developed. So I liked that the first half was focused more on the cafe customers and the second half was focused on dealing with Lee Pyun Woong. It felt natural, considering the events that were going on.

AFTER WATCHING 4 EPISODES
rating: 9.5/10

This drama has a typical drama vibe like other dramas in which one of the main roles is played by Lee Seung Gi. The dramas in which he plays have some distinctive features, probably due to his acting style. They are definitely not for everyone. "The Law Cafe" contains very typical elements for which Korean dramas are known.

For me, this drama will definitely not beat the best Korean productions. However, from the very first episode, I knew what to expect and I am enjoying it so far. I like that the drama deals with some heavier topics, but it's not too overwhelming thanks to the whole episode.

Hopefully, this drama won't be filled with completely unnecessary fillers in the later episodes.

For over a year now, I've been struggling to get involved enough to watch a drama until the end. But this is what I needed. Great actors, music, chemistry between main characters, emotions, secrets and plot twists... The way this drama was shot made it even more suspenseful. The colours created a dark atmosphere for the events depicted in the drama. While watching, I felt a whole range of emotions, from unimaginable sadness to joy and warmth in my heart. Throughout the entire drama, you could feel the tension between the characters caused by the possibility of war.

I don't mind the open ending, and I don't need a second season. It honestly suited this drama. The gate was opened before the explosion, so I believe San Ho survived and will return to Mun Ju after the election. He wouldn't have left her, but at the same time, going to prison doesn't fit his character.

I watched this movie because my friend talked me into it. I expected it to be cheesy and cringey. I could have predicted the main character's naivety. Even though the actors did a good job, I think it was just a bad movie.

Teacher-student relationship? It's not wrong; it's cruel and predatory behaviour. I can't get over the fact that no one around the student thought this relationship was a problem. Her friend was obsessed with another teacher. Let's not glorify the relationship between teacher and student. A big age gap in a "relationship" at that age is really wrong.

Even after watching this film four months ago, I'm still disgusted by the plot. Maybe this type of movie isn't for me, but I don't think anyone should think of it as a romantic story.

The beginning of this drama was great. It was very engaging and together with the characters we discovered what had happened. I was curious what Ji Won had to do to change her life and how she would achieve it. However, around episode 10/11 it became predictable. I didn't have as much fun watching this drama as I did at the beginning. That's why I stopped watching it several times and then came back to it. But don't get me wrong, this drama is really good. With top actors, great OST and plot. After episode 11, there was simply an element missing that would completely absorb me.


I don't think Yura's appearance was a bad idea. It added to the plot and ultimately made sense.

I really had fun watching this drama. I found out that it is a parody of another historical drama, which made it easier to watch. It's just the kind of silly comedy that you can laugh while watching and you know from the very beginning that everything will end well. The actors did quite well. They played the way I expected. Nothing too serious. This drama is great to watch as an interlude between dramas and movies with more serious themes. I've seen opinions that a lot of things haven't been explained, but I don't think so. For me everything is clear and easy to deduce. You just have to remember that this drama has fantasy elements.

I really understand that the drama has short episodes and there are few of them, which makes it impossible to do a very extensive plot, but it definitely could have been done better. Why is there a toxic and stalking ex-boyfriend in the drama, who caused the main character to be traumatized, if this topic is not developed at all? We don't get a chance to see how Seung Jun handles the situation because all the explanations take place off-screen. And then we suddenly get a happy ending. It's obvious that the story was mentioned only to make Jae Hyun a hero. Instead, everything was happening too fast, making him a stalker. Also in the drama, there were far too many additional characters who contributed absolutely nothing to the story.

If you decide to watch this drama, keep in mind that it's just a time filler and you'll quickly forget about it.

Fit my drama taste perfectly.

This drama was even better than I expected.
I usually like when there is romance in a drama. There are very few times I would hate it and find it disturbing. It's just my preference. I don't like it when romance takes a long time to develop and then suddenly everything speeds up because the drama ends. So that's already one of the advantages of this drama.
Another thing I liked was the fairly quick reconciliation between the brothers. We were given hints from the beginning that they didn't completely hate each other, so it was a good choice to pursue this subplot this way.
The third thing I liked was that the creators showed from the beginning that they took a specific direction, but at the same time there were also several plot twists.
The side characters also contributed a lot to this drama. The whole thing just fit my drama taste perfectly.

It's a short film worth seeing because it's pretty good, funny at times, and has some really good actors.

It's about how a particular woman perceives her body. I think a lot of people can relate to this situation. The presented situation concerns a mother who doesn't want food to go to waste. She is the one who eats all the leftovers, which results in a slight weight gain. This makes her anxious. Her husband sees all this and the events are also presented from his perspective. Ultimately, he tries to support her and not lead to a situation where the woman eats between meals.
I liked how the husband's perspective was shown. He tried to explain and appreciate everything.

I watched the drama 3 times a few years ago and for some reason I'm so biased towards the story itself. At first I wanted to watch the drama again but I was afraid that I would spoil my memories of it so I finally decided to watch the film adaptation.

The story is so sad that I cried a lot even though it was hard for me to empathize with the characters because of the very poor acting. The film is missing some things that for me were a bit of an essential part of the drama. Like the reason why Hiro dyed his hair dark. Maybe it's not that important, but it's the part that has stuck in my memory for all these years.

Despite all my fondness for this story, I'm really disappointed with the execution. I managed to enjoy this movie only because of the good memories of the drama and the will to watch something that will definitely make me cry.

Sky of Love is one of those stories that made me cry the most.

BL school dramas are starting to get tiresome for me so it's really exciting to watch productions with adult characters. Usually these relationships are more mature and there is no room for toxic behavior in them, which I really like.

The actors played their roles very well. I like the lead couple better mainly because they weren't as chaotic as the second couple. I also like the fact that there was asexual character, which I think is rare in East Asian productions.

In my opinion, having magic like mind reading, the problems and positive things associated with it, is a good metaphor of how important communication is in relationships.

I really love this drama. It was cute but emotional.

The film tells the story of what happens after the death of Kung Min. To be honest, overall this film was very drastic and from my perspective it felt so real. We see what happens to students and what consequences their words and deeds have. However, even though it's not shown explicitly, the way the story is shown indicates that it's from an adult's perspective. Why do I think so? Because throughout the video, things are shown that may have influenced Kyung Min, but there is no confirmation as to what actually made her act. The adults didn't really want to listen to Young Hee who might know something about the cause of Kyung Min's death. They just made up their own narrative to what she said. They completely ignored the fact that she mentioned her suicidal thoughts.

As viewers, we don't get a clear reason for what ultimately led to Kyung Min's death. It could have been many of the situations mentioned in the movie or something that has never been revealed.

Overall it's a good movie. Unfortunately, it was boring at times. The actors did a great job and the camera work is a big advantage for this film.

Honestly, after seeing the ratings and reviews, especially on MDL, I didn't have high expectations for this movie. But I decided to give it a try anyway.

Maybe it's just my expectations, but "The Queen of Crime" is not such a bad movie. There are elements characteristic of Korean productions, such as shady building administration or a mother who pretends not to see that her son treats her badly. 303's unfinished story bothers me a bit. It's a pity that this part of the plot was simply forgotten.

This movie is definitely not for everyone.

I liked the camera work and the overall vibe. The actors did well and I like the main characters.

It is a good movie to watch once.
