Drama with violence + aura farm

This drama is just incredible.

I think the directors did an excellent job introducing the story, starting with that tragic event involving a member of her family. It immediately throws her into a violent, even ultra-violent world. She goes through something that pushes her to become a police officer with a very specific goal, which we discover right from the beginning. Honestly, I don’t think the main plot could have been set up any better than this!

The fight scenes are intense and spectacular. She really went hard 💀. There’s also the second storyline inside the police force that we discover later, the beginning of her “relationship” with her colleagues, and all the events happening in the gang that stress her out and even push her to do things that aren’t exactly legal for a cop. It’s amazing!

The ending is intense , it takes you through every emotion: stress, love, tears… and a very tense and stressful finale where you’re on edge wondering how it’s all going to end.

Honestly, only 8 episodes feels a bit too short for a series of this quality!

The actors and characters have great synergy. Everyone fits their roles perfectly. Nothing to criticize, bravo to the whole cast!

After watching the drama twice, I can finally give my honest review:

First, let’s talk about the story. It’s simple but effective: a broken heart, mysterious visions, the relationship between her and Ho-Jin, and in parallel, the tension and confusion created by Do Ra-Mi and Ho-Jin. I also loved the hilarious dynamic with Hiro, especially since he has no idea about Mu-hee’s double personality and the language barrier between them (he’s Japanese and she’s Korean). I really got hooked on the theme of the story, even if it could have been improved in some ways.

The OSTs are just amazing. They’re perfectly placed and so touching. Seriously, well done!

As for the characters, I think they all have great chemistry together funny moments, tension, romance… I loved their acting. I already knew most of the actors from their other series and movies, so I wasn’t surprised by the quality they delivered.

In short, I recommend it!

Good but skip scenes

Here's my review:

I thought the drama was good overall, but there are still some annoying parts.

First of all, there are scenes you can easily skip. Personally, I found some scenes with the virtual boyfriends pretty awkward not because of the acting, but because of the ridiculous situations. There’s also that plane fight scene that felt really cringy to me (this is just my personal opinion).

The casting is excellent though. Jisoo’s acting was really solid she handled funny, sad, and romantic scenes perfectly. She delivered in every type of moment.

I also really liked the second part of the romance between the two main characters. There were moments of tension, love, awkwardness, and hesitation. You could clearly feel the chemistry between them. Personally, I stopped skipping scenes once she created the character “901” which led to the beginning of their relationship.

I would have loved more episodes focused on the two main characters to develop their relationship further. There were only about two full episodes where they were actually together and getting to know each other. I think they could have done even better with the plot by adding more drama, tension, and romance between them.

In short, if you like Jisoo or BLACKPINK, you’ve probably already watched it. But I still recommend it to those who aren’t in that fandom it’s worth a watch!

I was really intrigued by this series. I had never watched a Girl Love (GL) drama before.

At the beginning, I found the story interesting the characters, the story behind her father’s death… Then we learn that the real culprit is actually her girlfriend’s father, involving drugs and so on. I thought there was great chemistry between all the characters.

But I have to admit that towards the end, after the fake death of her sister, I found the story a bit incoherent and rushed. She has a conversation with her father, then suddenly she stops talking to her friend. She treats her really badly. From that point on, I got a bit lost. At first she stops replying to her, avoids her completely… Then they come up with a plan, but it doesn’t go as expected, so he does something she wasn’t aware of. This leads to her needing surgery. And in the end, she goes live and jumps out the window with her sister. I didn’t really understand the ending I found it rushed and poorly explained.

Apart from that, the beginning up until almost the end was really good. I still recommend it anyway.

A very good and touching story, but not emotional enough to make me cry.

The fact that she loses all her memories every time she falls asleep is really interesting. The scene on the bus where she dozes off, wakes up, and doesn’t remember him at all is still very memorable.

Then there’s him learning about her illness and doing everything he can to make her happy. The moment that surprised me the most was when he suddenly dies. I really didn’t see it coming. I liked the story overall, but it happened so abruptly. In the moment you’re like “wow,” and right after you’re left thinking “why?”

I feel like his character and his heart condition weren’t given enough development. Ending the story so suddenly like that feels quite abrupt and probably won’t please everyone.

An incredible drama. The way they managed to seamlessly blend the scenes with the actress playing two different characters in the same frame, with perfect reactions as if they were really talking to each other, is absolutely mind-blowing. I had never seen a series or movie pull off a single actress playing two roles in the same scene so flawlessly, without any visible cuts or mistakes.

Beyond that, the story is deeply touching. It follows a sister who is unemployed and constantly criticized by her mother, while the mom puts all her hopes into her other daughter who is actually suffering from severe depression and is on the verge of suicide because of her job. Then comes the scene where she tries to jump out the window, but in the end both sisters fall… and then they switch lives.

I found it really funny how they jumped into each other’s lives without knowing anything about them. It created a lot of chaos, but it also gave us some amazing scenes the romance moments, the grandmother figuring out they had switched while the mother noticed nothing… and the scene where they finally confess the truth. I loved it so much.

I highly recommend it!

Very Good Kdrama Zombies

As a big fan of zombie series and a K-drama lover, what more could I ask for?

This is a series that gives you so many emotions.

I think the virus infection was really well introduced. A father who conducted an experiment on his own son that went wrong, then a student gets infected by one of the experiments he left at school. The way he had to lock her up, which led to his arrest, and then the second infection when the student bites the nurse… and all the chaos that follows. I’m really satisfied with how the story begins. A lot of shows/movies in this genre don’t put this much effort into the setup, so bravo!

Let’s talk about the characters:

Nam-ra – The smart girl who gets infected but manages to resist. The scenes where she uses her superhuman strength thanks to the infection are so cool!

Gwi-nam – Pure evil. Honestly, nothing to say, he’s perfect in the role of the Season 1 villain. I’m sad he’s not in Season 2 because of his real-life military service.

Cheong-san – The shy, kind-hearted guy who’s in love with his childhood friend. He’s super likable. Personally, I don’t think he died at the end of Season 1 I believe he’s still alive.

On-jo – She’s not the smartest but she’s very endearing. The scenes where she deals with the loss of her friends are really touching, especially the one with Cheong-san.

Suhyeok – The Swiss Army knife of the group. He makes decisions, he’s smart, and he has strong character. One of my favorite characters!

Dae-su – The guy who makes jokes and funny comments all the time. He brings smiles and made me laugh a lot. I love him.

Na-yeon – She plays the “hateable” girl so well. Honestly, she nailed it. Great actress.

In short, I strongly recommend this series. It’s incredible and I can’t wait for Season 2!

W Kdrama

Here's my review:

I had never watched a K-drama in this style before, and I loved it. The disease, the monsters… honestly, it’s really easy to get hooked and want to keep watching.

Especially Season 1, where we discover the arrival of the monsters and the mutants (like the main characters later on). The end of Season 1 was packed with action, and the enemies gave off a real sense of danger. The second neo-human who shows up and starts killing everyone left me stunned and the scene where he transforms for the first time was super stylish. Overall, a really strong Season 1.

Then Season 2: Hyun-su getting tortured in the pit, the escape where he gets frozen that scene was incredible. Meanwhile, Eun-yu is desperately searching for him and goes through a lot of hardships. The meeting with Yi-kyung’s daughter leads to that emotional rescue moment where he catches her in mid-air, which then leads to their reunion that scene made me smile so much. Also, the part where the little girl turns her mother into a monster… you could kind of see it coming once you understand the character. A very solid Season 2.

And finally, Season 3: Hyun-su’s dual personality is amazing and makes him even more badass. The reunion between Eun-yu and her brother was really interesting. Having one person with a double personality (one side still somewhat human, the other completely devoid of humanity) led to an epic fight scene. Then the alliance where one helps the other escape while trying to solve the bigger problem… The scene where Yi-kyung is killed by her husband in front of their child genuinely shocked me. And the finale was full of intense battles, the fake death of the little girl, Eun-yu becoming like her brother… I thought it was a really good ending.

Good Kdrama

I finished Good Boy in just a few days.

I got hooked right away. As someone who loves police/cop themes in K-dramas, I’m really satisfied with the result.

My thoughts on the main characters:

Dong-Ju – His character was really well played. Great acting! I didn’t know the actor before, but he nailed it the humor, the determination, the romance… I was genuinely surprised and very impressed with his performance!

Han Na – Also very well acted. I already knew the actress and I think she always delivers, but she was even better in this series. The love story with Dong-Ju is super cute. I also loved how they handled the story about her father’s death (that she learns thanks to the Russian guy) and her reaction to it. The scenes were amazing!

Ju-Yeong – This guy was incredible. I didn’t know the actor before, but I was pleasantly surprised. He perfectly embodied the villain pure evil and viciousness. Though I have to say, for someone so powerful in the gang/drug world, he got beaten up a lot 😂

Man Sik – Such a funny character. He has no idea how to handle a reckless young guy who loves beating people up 😭 But still very likable overall.

Overall, I loved the story. My favorite parts were:
- The moment Dong-Ju fails to take down Ju-Yeong
- The convoy attack
- When he goes to see Ju-Yeong and willingly gets beaten up so his team doesn’t get disbanded
- The phase where he hides from the team (especially the scene where he hides his face in the police station) it really felt real
- The emotional scene when everyone finds out what he did
- The intense sequence where he gets beaten, drugged, fights to survive, and ends up in a coma I was so hyped for the next episodes!
- When he loses his sight and tries to hide it from Han Na (that was really touching)
- All the heartwarming moments when Han Na and the others take care of him
- The ending when he wakes up from the coma and rejoins everyone to confront Ju-Yeong everyone got their heroic moment!
- The final scene where he goes after Ju-Yeong was insane (though I would’ve loved a proper fight between them 😂)

In short, I strongly recommend it!!

Absolute aura farm

A series where the villain protagonist absolutely farms aura.

Moon-Baek, the number one enemy, farms aura every chance he gets.

It’s an intriguing story: a mysterious person/organization handing out free weapons? Yes, it’s possible! At the beginning, we follow a police officer who discovers a corpse and some ammunition. He starts investigating and finds more cases. Then we meet the first protagonist who goes on a massacre in his building, shooting everyone. He then meets Moon-Baek. Surprisingly, the two team up and stick together, but Lee-Do has suspicions about him.

Personally, at the beginning, I never imagined that this character was the big bad. After the school shooting when he finally reveals his true self, I was shocked to realize it was Moon-Baek, the arms dealer. Since I wasn’t spoiled at all, I was genuinely stunned. Then comes an intense scene where the captain goes crazy. Lee-Do tries to talk him down, but the craziest moment of the series (which I think everyone loved and has seen in edits) is when Moon-Baek shows up! I was blown away seriously, bravo!

I just find the ending where Moon-Baek dies a bit disappointing. I was expecting an epic fight between him and Lee-Do, but no… he gets shot, falls into a coma, and then someone comes to execute him. I think they could have done much better with that!
