Leads and second leads

I really like the FL , she did such an amazing job in DK I'm sure she'll pull this one off aswell
ML No problem with him, I like how his emotions show on his face.

2nd leads .. the second male lead i can deal with he is annoying but likable but the female lead is not my favourite, i don't know if the character is written to annoy a person but she annoys me so much i actually skip her scenes.

this really just gets better.. more plots and sub-stories . Our FL is really doing well with all her intrinsic emotions , displaying them in a way that we as the audience can feel and participate in . She is definitely showing signs of burnout and depression..

I think the SML chemistry and how intense his confusion is with regards with his emotions ,carries well over to the audience. The kissing tho? Are we on a windmill?😅 or is it just me

the way the ML back story is incorporated bit by bit in the drama is very well executed... i just think the whole part on the watch being lost.. was unnecessarily. I also think it was necessary that the ML heard the recording, because those emotions the SML explained definitely contributes to her depression and anxiety .

My heart ached for Mi-Do, carrying so much and nobody saw the brokenness untill it came to a point like this .. or the people around her just got so used to her empty expression, that ,that become her norm.. burnout and depression became who she was to them and they never saw her silently screaming for help...

I've seen a lot of comments online about how people are against mido , but frankly she did end the relationship... namgun just kept holding on to her ... even in these last episodes ... he still wants to get married after all that... because she's all he's ever known. Staying in a forced relationship is not the answer... but thats just my opinion..

After these last few episodes.. i cannot be convinced to like the 2nd female lead...

As we near the end of this show, i realise thatbthis show has honestly been an emotional roller coaster for me , and i am actually dreading watching the last episodes . Probs not going to get the ending i was expecting.

Overall I would not rewatch this drama , the roller coaster is to much for me . And i think the part where his "brother" says don't do what i did to Bora , is a foreshadowing of what is going to happen

I'm glad thia drama is done actually. It ended mediocre, it left no strings untied . I mean it could've ended with the first 10 min of the last episode but I'm glad everyone got closure

Okay Pass

The biggest assest: The opening music
The weakest liability: The script.

The acting wasn't the worst but it lacked depth. A story like this needed actor to give weight to the performances and they just didn't. The music was used effectively to create the settings.

AI once used in the right places should not sway a story. Do people believe ai has not been used in big productions? Are people truly falling off high rises or do they think that ships going down in storms are actually sunk?

They were paired well together as a couple falling in love. A lapse in judgement - making out while scoping out a scene was more outlandish than humorous. Then again Tawian has never failed in that department. Overall, I would think that lack of funds brought down the value.

Overall, it gets an okay pass.

An All-Encompassing Drama Contains myriad philosophical themes...

One of the themes it portrayed that i love fully is:
"A mantra is not just words, it's the being itself, its instinct, a mantra contains its entire history.... "

in the drama "Eternal Love of the Fox", there is one other teaching: that a mantra is essence, instinct, experience, coded into words or quotes.... a mantra for everyone is not the same, because comprehension differs, so how can a true mantra be the same...

in the drama, the dog beast's human girlfriend use a specific mantra (as she was his ferrymen) who can take him across the shore of mortality to become immortal...

but when the same mantra, when the main female lead used didnt worked, why?, its because her mind was in mess (if your mind is aligned, anything you say becomes a law...)... when she started murmuring and singing the age old lullaby she sang across her multiple lifetimes when they both (nine tailed fox-main lead and the human girl-female lead were together), it created a resonance and an anchor, which did the trick.... and finally the nine tailed fox-male lead ascended and became immortal... (but even there he spat on immortals (you know....).... the rest you know)

NO MERCY

The second season was so fun to follow week by week! Fast-paced, action-packed, with fresh cases and villains.

In an era where the case-of-the-week crime show format is being phased out and replaced with 8-episode thrillers focusing on a single big villain, shows like Flex X Cop are a gift. Flex X Cop has established itself as a great franchise we want more and more of.

The villains in the second season were great. Some quirky, some unfortunate, and some downright terrifying. The cases could’ve been stronger, but they were still great, and they stayed true to the nature of the show.

The main villain was terrifying and the demise could’ve been handled better, but it was still sharp and efficient like it needed to be. Yoo Seungho did an amazing job. I loved the use of an art setting and a sculptor profession, it added to what could otherwise have been a simple chaebol serial killer plot.

The case villains were so interesting to follow too. Almost all the stories subverted expectations. My personal favourites were the magician who was a quirky and stupid villain who used less than 1% of his brain but was somehow optimistic and joyful throughout, and the principal who was driven wholly by evil and greed, with no sad backstory to minimise the extent of her crimes.

My favourite character this season was Joo Hyera. I’m a fan of Jung Eunchae, but I wasn’t sure how well they’d handle her character or if they would do her justice as a new character, but she was amazing and I absolutely loved her character. Her riding around and showing up to places on her bike delighted me every single time. I also liked how they upped the stakes by killing off a character she held close and who we grew fond of (Minjae), which made her motivations to catch the villain even stronger.

Ahn Bohyun was delightful as Jin Isoo as always. ISCG I. Soo. Cool. Guy. 🤞😎 His random antics and English phrases took me out. And the fact that he never backs down despite being in an unfavourable position sometimes and listens to his team leaders makes him such a great detective. He has grown into a more competent detective, we love to see it.

I’m also glad they kept the season 14 episodes long instead of shortening it, and maintained quality instead of rushing it or making a second season just for the sake of it. I especially loved the attention to detail and the production value.

Props to the whole team and cast for delivering a great second season, and I hope we’ll get a third season as well. My wish for season 3 is for all the main cast members Ahn Bohyun, Jung Eunchae, Park Jihyun, Kang Sangjoon, Kim Shinbi, Jung Gahee, Kim Myungsoo, Lee Doyub to return, with Kim Jihoon as the main villain (he was introduced at the end of the finale). I can never get enough of Flex X Cop!

At first was about to drop it, but then smth switched...

and that ending absolutely blew my mind. Can we talk about how genius that ending was?! I genuinely did not see it going in that direction, and by the end I was just sitting there like… what did I just watch? 😂

Honestly, the first 7 or so episodes didn’t completely work for me. They felt a little disconnected from the bigger story, and I wasn’t really sure where the season was trying to go. But then the magician case happened, and suddenly I became much more invested. From there, the story just kept getting more interesting.

And the last four episodes? SO tense. I genuinely couldn’t wait for the episodes to air, so I ended up watching them almost as soon as they were released. I honestly couldn’t even imagine where they were going to take the story, which made the whole thing so much more exciting.

I really hope they keep this vibe going because this is exactly the kind of direction I want from the show. The ending especially made me completely rethink the season, and now I’m very curious about what they’ll do next. 👀

From Loose Cannon to Team Regular

This season feels a bit like staying too long at the same job: you know the people, you know the rhythm, and eventually even the surprises start to feel scheduled.

That is more or less what happened here. In the first season, a lot of the fun came from Jin I-soo being such an unpredictable presence. He was impulsive, immature, a little reckless, and always capable of throwing both his team and the viewer slightly off balance. That unpredictability gave the show its spark.

This time, he has clearly matured. He is more capable, more settled, and a lot less irresponsible, which makes sense after spending so long as a full-time cop. But that growth also changes the energy around him. His teammates are no longer shocked by his methods, and even his new boss seems to accept fairly quickly that this is simply how he operates. As a result, the season feels more familiar than thrilling: still competent and likable, but missing some of that irresistible “what is he about to do now?” energy that made the first season so much fun.

Ahn Bo-hyun is still very solid in the role and carries Jin I-soo’s growth well, but the writing does not really give him many opportunities to do anything particularly fresh. Jung Eun-chae and Yoo Seung-ho also do well, but neither is given material that feels especially standout or transformative. Everyone does their part well, but very little feels genuinely fresh.

Most of the cases are well written and interesting enough on their own, so the season is never difficult to watch. But the final case, which should have delivered the biggest payoff, ends up being the weakest stretch. The build-up is there, but the execution is far less punchy and far more ridiculous than the setup promises.

In the end, this is not a bad follow-up at all. It is just a smoother, more settled one. Like an old job you have become good at, it runs efficiently, everyone knows their role, and the shocks are fewer. That may be maturity. It may also be why the season never quite recaptures the excitement of the first.

A Solid Vigilante Thriller, But Not Mind-Blowing

It's a great story, even if you can guess the plot twist from the beginning. It's a great take on the vigilante genre—the idea of ordinary people taking justice into their own hands when the system fails is compelling, and the film executes that concept well enough to keep you engaged.

I sat through the entire movie because it was interesting, but it wasn't mind-blowing. The pacing holds up, the performances are solid, and the moral dilemmas are thought-provoking. But it never quite reaches the heights it could have. It's a decent watch—just don't go in expecting something unforgettable.

Not The Best, But Still Good!

This was okayyyyy to watch I enjoyed the first few episodes they gave me the same happiness as when I was reading omegaverse manhwas and manga. But the remaining episodes they were kind of so-so. Like the endings feels rushed. The way they were pressuring Phatsa to become pregnant and give and grandson. Just from them to not show their children's just saying he was pregnant like what kind of ending was that 😭💔 but it's a bit similar to ABO Desire obviously because they are both omegaverse series. But in this series they didn't show their children unlike in ABO Desire they showed their child and it was a wholesome moment 🥰❤️

Overall, very good series 10/10

Love this drama

I came across this drama because I was looking for a new Thai drama to watch, and I honestly did not expect it to leave such a strong impression on me. I started watching it out of curiosity, but as the story progressed, I found myself becoming more emotionally attached to the characters and their journey.

I love this drama because it has been a while since a drama made me feel this sad and emotional. There were so many moments that stayed with me even after finishing an episode. The story was able to portray different emotions in such a sincere and touching way, making it easy for me to connect with the characters and understand what they were going through.

Both actors acted incredibly well. Their chemistry felt natural, and their emotions were expressed so convincingly that I could really feel the pain, warmth, happiness, and love in every scene. They did not need excessive dialogue to make a moment meaningful because their expressions and the way they interacted with each other already said so much.

Another thing I really loved was the warmth throughout the drama. Almost every scene had something that made me feel comforted, even during the sadder moments. There was a certain gentleness in the way the story was presented, and it made the drama feel very personal and heartfelt.

For me, this is more than just a drama that I happened to watch while looking for something new. It is a story that made me feel, cry, and appreciate the little moments between the characters. It reminded me why I enjoy watching dramas in the first place.

This drama is truly one to love and cherish, and I am really glad that I came across it.

When you think it couldn’t get worse, it actually did

Where do I even begin with this review? What disappoints me is that Knot had the potential to be a great series, especially after seeing how high quality the pilot/trailer looked. Unfortunately the expectations I had for the series weren’t met in the slightest.

I feel like there are so many issues with the series like the pacing, the acting/dialogues, the characters themselves…

The pacing of the whole series was so off and oftentimes awkward. The scenes didn't flow into each other, making it look even stiffer and unnatural than it already was. And can we talk about the budget cut in locations and extras like?? it felt like we were only ever in 3 spots and miraculously nobody was ever seen in the background.

Let's talk about the dialogues and the characters. The dialogues were stiff, felt unnatural and their content was repetitive - it honestly felt like we were going nowhere with it, just going around in circles with the same issues that made the story feel stagnant. Not only the plot, the characters themselves didn't show much depth or character development, making them seem very 2 dimensional and making it difficult to form a connection/sympathy with any of them.

I feel bad for the actors because they can only do so much with the script and directions they are given. I just hope that their next series is gonna have a better script than the last 2 they got.
