Make It Right 2026: Something Just Isn’t Clicking ?

Okay, I’ll be honest: I watched the 2016 Make It Right, and I wasn’t exactly head-over-heels in love with it. But after watching the 2026 adaptation, I’m starting to appreciate the original more because, for me, it was more engaging.

First, I really don’t think the casting is the problem. The new cast is young, good-looking, and I can see the potential. They’re also new to the industry, and most of them are playing teenagers, so obviously there will be some awkwardness. That part I can understand and I’m willing to give them time to grow.

My problem is more with how the scenes are being put together.

Sometimes it feels like the scenes are just being thrown at us randomly. There isn’t always a smooth flow from one scene to another, so I find myself wondering, “Wait, how did we get here?” It just doesn’t feel very cohesive.

There was even a scene where it was supposed to be a weekend, but you could clearly see students in uniforms in the background. Of course, maybe they had special classes or whatever, but little things like that make the whole thing feel a bit messy.

And now we’re already on Episode 4, but I honestly feel like the story is barely moving. It’s starting to feel stagnant and, unfortunately, a little boring. I keep waiting for that moment where things finally pick up, but I’m still waiting.

I’ve also noticed that I don’t see that many edits or clips from this series compared to other shows airing right now. Of course, that doesn’t automatically mean the series is doing badly, but it does make me wonder if other viewers are also struggling to find something that really grabs them.

And there are other ongoing high school series right now that are doing this kind of story really well. So I know the setting itself isn’t the problem. It’s really more about the execution.

Even Love Sick's 2024 adaptation was pretty well received, which shows that older stories can still be remade successfully when the adaptation feels fresh and well put together.

That being said, I genuinely want this series to do well. I feel bad being too harsh because you can tell the cast is putting effort into it. They’re young, they’re still learning, and hopefully they’ll become more comfortable with their characters as the series progresses.

So I’m really hoping the succeeding episodes will pick up because I WANT to like this. I want the cast to succeed, and I want all the effort they’re putting into this to pay off.

For now, though, I have to say… I wasn’t even that obsessed with the 2016 version, but somehow I’m sitting here thinking, “You know what? The original was better.”

Hopefully, Make It Right 2026 proves me wrong in the next few episodes. Please let them peak because I’m still rooting for these kids.

Jiah was the highlight

I really enjoyed this drama. The story was interesting, and Ji Ah was easily my favourite. I loved how skilled, strong, and professional she was as an exorcist.

The ML annoyed me at first, but thankfully that changed after episode 3.

The plot kept getting more interesting, and I loved how my questions and theories were gradually answered. Even the confusion I had about the exorcism and Ji Ah’s mother was cleared up by the end.

The drama had a good mix of mystery, supernatural elements, and emotion. The romance wasn’t forced or made the main focus. I don't mind it cuz I wasn't really into their chemistry either.
overall, a decently good supernatural drama.

P.S. I think 10–12 episodes would’ve been better. 16 episodes felt a bit too long.

THIS side. THAT side. The TRUTH lies in the middle.

My rating is based on the writing, direction, cinematography, acting, editing, music, etc, and my review is not based on the content of the film. Though the film Way Back Home is not masterpiece quality such as Parasite or Midnight Express, it's a good film. The content, being the story itself, is not being reviewed.

I will however, say concerning the story:

The movie, much like others over the decades, assures the audience through the wife's 'plight' that the 'every day citizen' CAN prevail over 'evil' bureaucracy, if one is persistent. What movies such as this don't provide is the other half of the story. I was always told there are 3 sides to any given story: THIS side, THAT side, and the TRUTH is somewhere in the MIDDLE.

It would've been nice to see more of the couple's story BEFORE the husband's choice to co-sign for a friend's loan. I needed to know more about what drove the wife/mother to such an extreme decision. The disconnect from being absolutely against her husband 'helping' his friend, Seo Moon Do, to going to the extreme opposite by calling Seo herself to accept the offer wasn't clear in the telling. I needed more facts.

Way Back Home is emotionally laden. I'd recommend as a one time watch bc it IS a gut wretching real life story. I rewatched WBH a second time as I did for Parasite and Midnight Express. I'm a sucker for a good underdog triumphant story.

Rewatch August 14, 2026.

A soft, and gentle series!

MilkLove got me sitting on this again. The story is full of soft fluff, comfort, and a dreamy high school vibe—one that doesn't have any toxic characters. It has introduced me to the idea that not every script needs to be packed with heavy lore. It has a pleasant, heartwarming light that made me connect with every single character, even the supporting roles.

At first, after the first two episodes, I felt the series was a tad boring indeed, yet it is the kind of show that just requires a relaxing eye. I know that many people haven't been fond of this series for that exact reason. However, if you are looking for an easy, green-flag GL, then this is it.

I love how realistically they styled Milk for Ongsa's character, both in looks and personality—the ultimate down-bad, loser lesbian. And Love, oh my pretty, beautiful Love, she absolutely nailed her character as usual. Sun is everything in this series. She is so, so, so adorable and sweet with her maturity and level of understanding.

Admittedly, I didn't really like View at first; however, on repeated watches, I find myself looking forward to her scenes. Aylin's autism was portrayed well, and Luna’s constant presence and support for her completely hooked me. That being said, I suppose I am not as overly obsessed with the ViewJune ship as I am with the actual characters, Aylin and Luna.

AJ’s comedy and Ciize’s caregiving personality are top-notch. For the first time, I am happy to see Ciize in a GL because she isn't playing that annoying third wheel who comes between the two female leads, lol!

I am so thankful to GMMTV for pairing Godji with Golf! Like, oh my god! We finally got two trans women who are each other's romantic partners. I am super happy about that! ><

This is one of those cute, platonic, evergreen GL series that will always hold a special, soft spot in my heart.

ERRORRRR ERRRRORRRR

I really like both of the male characters in Semantic Error. They each have their own distinct charm, and you can clearly see the dynamic contrast between the two.

For Sangwoo, I love his introverted, robot-like vibe. He sticks rigidly to his routines and logic, though I sometimes wish he had at least one close friend he could rely on to balance things out. As for the overarching story itself, there isn't an immense amount going on—at times, it feels like they weren't thrown into massive, high-stakes problems or plot twists that could drastically threaten their relationship.

Because of that, the conflict stays pretty contained. But honestly? That's part of its appeal. Overall, I like it because it's light, fun, and not overly complex, making it an easy and enjoyable watch when you just want something cute and refreshing.

A drama with no hospital scenes!

This drama started off quite well. I already liked the cinematography and color grading of this drama a lot. The main leads that were introduced, Si-woo and Ji-yoon were basically almost polar opposites. I loved the way they met for the first time and the end of episode 1 or 2 when she finally joins his task force reminded me a little bit of start-up.

The main leads’ romance and how it started off and developped was really nice. Almost like enemies to lovers aka unlikeable boss and dedicated female co-worker which reminded me a bit of Her Private Life as well 😂 Although Si-Woo never disliked Ji-yoon to start with. I loved how he always had to suppress his laugh whenever he saw her in funny situations like at the convenience store or when her button popped 😂😂😂 Those scenes were always my faves! Oh and ofc the abundance of kiss scenes especially the steamy shower one 😍😍😍 I was likeeeee what’s going ooooonnnn!!!!!

I loved Seo In-guk’s acting in this and how he changed from stoic workaholic to an ever-smiling boss. Towards the end of the drama she was turning more into him bcs she got colder and more serious over time and he turned into her bcs he smiled more and started being friendlier to others 😂

I felt really sorry for Si-Woo and almost cried when he told her about his past! It was just so heartbreaking 🥺🥺🥺 I am so glad that they got together through all the struggles and short-term break-ups. Tbh during the second break-up after the wedding I was lowkey annoyed with FL. She just assumed things about his past and distanced herself from him without hearing him out. Luckily they sorted this break-up out successfully and it didn’t lead to any more drama.

It was also funny how her father found out about their relationship 😂😂😂 A lot of funny scenes!

Another funny element of this drama were the side characters, especially the two TF members. Na-ri and FL’s male bestie 😂 he had a lot of funnt scenes! Like how he was whincinf at the office when he found out some new scandal 😂or when he accidentally slipped up to FL about knowing that she and manager are dating and then trying to escape to the bathroom 😂😂😂 A lot of hilarious scenes! The male bestie was definitely the comic relief of the show 😂

I also liked the bestie No-Ah and her romance with the younger purple-haired guy 😍 Some people didn’t like it but I thought they were cute! One thing I didn’t like tho was when he said that he would follow her to the end of the world but when she actually told him she would be going to Senegal he wanted to break up with her and said he couldn’t do it 🙄🙄🙄
I guess Senegal is further away than the end of the world 😂😂😂 They did make up so that was cute. I kinda was hoping for some Senegal scenes tho. Never had a drama mention Senegal before! I really liked the representation. It’s always just America, France, Thailand or UK. Sometimes maybe Spain, Italy, Germany or Japan as well. But it was the first time I saw Senegal mentioned.

Then I really need to express my love for Mrs. Choi! What a badass woman! I love her! absolutely a green flag! I think I liked her a bit more than the female lead. In general all the women in this drama were absolute green flags 😍😍😍

In general I really liked the themes going on in this drama. How women are treated in workplaces in Korea. Like if you get married you will have a disadvantage. If you start a relationship with someone above you people will talk about favoritism and how your skills amd achievements will instantly be linked to the man…

There were also many themes of the difficulty of having a relationship and being in love and how difficult these things are even for adults with professional jobs etc. I liked how issues like these were presented but were not offered to be solved in one way or another. Everything is still left for interpretation.

All in all I enjoyed this drama a lot! It was actually nothing super unique but a cute little office slice-of-life.

Why did I bother?

To be quite honest, I probably should have looked at the reviews and dropped this around like episode 4. What starts off as a pretty interesting idea for a thriller quickly peters out - and the worst part of it all is that the only reason why I stuck around is that admittedly, the leads (Min Namkoong specifically) put in 10 to 15 dollar acting performances that the overall story simply cannot keep up to. Even then, it feels like Namkoong specifically is trying to cover as much ground as possible - specifically that in the early going, he is portrayed as a husband that is more focused on work then trying even a little to patch up a quickly crumbling marriage.

I will admit that there are some story beats I like - the idea that the main bad guy's wife is indeed in on the plot, and the overall ending being presented as a happy ending of sorts - and certainly, the first four episodes do a great job of doing the things a thriller needs to do to keep audiences interested, but once the wheels fall out, hooo boy do things start getting frustrating.

Apropos of nothing, but can we just appreciate the lead detective's mane of hair? That's the clearest example of hockey hair I've seen in a long while, and from a Korean drama no less.

A Sweet Romance With Serious Chemistry

Love for You was such a great drama! I went in expecting a good romance, but the chemistry between the FL and ML completely won me over.

The whole setup gave me major Speed and Love vibes, especially with the two leads being step-siblings. That dynamic definitely adds an interesting layer to their relationship and makes their journey even more intriguing to watch.

What really carried the drama for me was the chemistry. Their interactions felt natural and convincing, and I genuinely enjoyed watching their relationship develop.

And thankfully, we got a good ending—always a major plus in my book! 😍

Overall, Love for You was an enjoyable watch with strong chemistry, an interesting relationship dynamic, and a satisfying ending. Definitely worth checking out if you're into romantic C-dramas with a little extra complexity.

Def. My Fav Thai GL serie so far ❤️

It’s been a long time since a series made me feel this excited again: genuinely wanting to watch the next episode, curious about what would happen, emotionally invested in every twist.
As a developer working in tech, “AI Girl” hit me directly. It’s not just a love story between an AI and a human; it’s about someone trying to build, from scratch, the “woman of your dreams” as an artificial intelligence and discovering along the way that what truly matters isn’t control or perfection, but connection, choice, and mutual care.
The ending took it even further: it showed how far real love can go. Two souls one human, one technological choosing to stay together, to accompany each other, and to wait “until the end,” no matter the cost.
It’s rare to see a story that mixes emotion and technology so honestly, and makes you believe that love can exist between flesh and code, as long as both sides are truly present.

Def. My Fav Thai GL serie so far ❤️

Toxic Trash

No fault of the actors, I can see they tried to do their jobs but this, for me, was utter horse manure. No redeeming qualities and it's quite rare that I will drop a show. If you are fond of watching abuse, this is for you. I don't quite understand the need to create something that tries to sell itself as romance when what they are showing is mental, emotional and physical abuse. In order for this to properly be labelled it would fall more into the bdsm realm but at lease there it has the structure of mutual consent. Let's hope it doesn't stay a trend to try to make it look sexy.

Rewatch Value is below zero but it would not let me select that.

Plot Over Logic

Someone planning something this big wouldn’t leave evidence in a hidden room and then let the housekeeper walk around the house freely. And that’s not even the most ridiculous part.

I also don’t understand why they would hide the girl in a place they already knew was connected to the guy who brings them strawberries. They knew he was from there so there was obviously a chance he could recognize her. If she really needs to hide, why send her somewhere connected to someone who might know who she is? Then she gets there and suddenly starts wondering if he’ll recognize her like that possibility had never crossed anyone’s mind.

In episode 8 that interrogation scene was ridiculous too. She’s supposedly ready to kill the guy yet she walks right up to him and presses the gun against his head, giving him the perfect chance to react. It goes wrong once and then she somehow does the exact same thing again right afterward. Making the same stupid mistake twice in a row just made the whole scene feel incredibly forced.

And these people are supposed to be insanely rich yet apparently hiring actual security never crosses anyone’s mind? No guards, no proper protection, nothing. With all that money and everything going on around them, you’d think professional security would be the most obvious thing in the world.

The whole thing about not being able to fire the staff makes no sense either. Even if for whatever reason they really can’t fire them, these people are insanely rich. Just move to another house, rent a different place or stay in a private VIP or presidential suite at a luxury hotel with proper security. There are so many obvious ways to solve the problem yet the show acts like staying in that exact house with the same staff is their only option.

The sister sends a hitman to kill her own brother. While he’s standing face-to-face with the FL, the hitman shoots him perfectly from a distance. Then instead of simply shooting the FL too, he suddenly starts running toward her with the gun like he’s holding a knife. She just stands there staring at him and only when she finally starts running away does he decide to shoot. Of course he misses. So apparently he can make a perfect long-range shot seconds earlier but the moment the FL becomes the target he suddenly forgets how to use a gun.

Then there’s the guy who supposedly gets caught red-handed even though he basically turns himself in while holding the gun. Apparently no one has heard of gunshot residue testing because they immediately treat him like he’s obviously guilty. The fact that they seriously arrest him based on that alone makes the whole thing even harder to take seriously.

They finally fire the housekeeper only for her to casually walk right back into the house like she still works there. And of course she immediately finds out the biggest secret in the entire show: the president is actually alive. Then later they try to play it off like being exposed was somehow the president’s choice all along. The show isn’t even trying to make these situations believable anymore.

At this point everything in this show feels so forced and unrealistic. The characters keep making decisions that make no sense just because the plot needs them to.
