The ending is so happy but also to me it's sad

I love the music the cast and the overall story people change because of things that happen people feel grief regret madness and many more emotions that's why I think this is such a beautiful series sieun is such a understandable character and has so much regret that he bottles up and I feel like Baku and Juntae and gotak made it al better and at the end he got to see suho after he was in a coma and by all of that his friends said it wasn't his fault even tho he felt that it was his fault that why he had so much regret and pain and I hope there is gonna be a season 3 and we get more storyline of sieun and suho
anyway I love it so much ✨💙🩵

the idea is there but the execution is weak

It has some good moments and the leads carry the show with their presence, but god damn i just can't do with dramas where the worldbuilding is introducing big concepts without explaining them or having clear rules, the internal logic just falls apart and it drives me crazy.
I also wish that the initial betrayal (the foundation for the entire plot) would hit more. As a viewer I want to feel for my male lead, but it feels undeveloped. I didn't witness the love, the build up that led to this betrayal, so i'm having a hard time to believe it throughout the story. His trauma is more of a concept :/ We have better foundation for the female lead, which makes me feel for her better, but overall i wouldn't recommend it, although it does have some good moments.

A judge is sent back in time.

A man is given a chance at a second life. In his previous life, he became entangled with shady and corrupt individuals and organizations, which led him to enforce crooked rulings even his mother could not defend him on. He’s plopped back in time to his very first case as a judge 10 years ago. Now, armed with years of court case knowledge, he sets out to seek justice against those who wronged him and to correct the mistakes of his past.

The story is fairly straightforward. He is sent back 10 years, and episode by episode, he gradually works his way up from a low-level judge to the position he needs to be in to get revenge on those who hurt him.

The earlier episodes were the best part. He had the upper hand over everyone as he set out to resolve the terrible rulings from his previous life. What was also great was his renewed connections with friends and colleagues who had previously been adversaries, namely, his wife from his prior life, who treated him coldly as a pawn to benefit her law firm. This time around, both were given the chance to become better people.

Anyway, the second half was so-so in my opinion, as his prior knowledge no longer played such an important role. Chasing after the main antagonist was fine, but old men talking around a table and being corrupt can only be so entertaining after a while. His unraveling of a vast web of corruption of old dudes wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Hidden slush funds and layers of bribes, not exactly new narrative territory. Luckily, all his colleagues and friends along the way made it tolerable to the end.

Overall, a good show with solid acting by the main lead.

Don’t ask how he was sent back. It’s just a quick narrative tool the show will never explain after the first episode.

Disappointing thing to watch after All of Us Are Dead

I was looking for the same sort of high stakes, action focused drama as All of Us Are Dead and since this is also a zombie school drama, it seemed an obvious choice.

I was unfortunately very disappointed. Whereas All of Us Are Dead (AOUAD) is moved forward by tense and dynamic emotional connections and the unknown of who will survive if anyone, Zomivor lacked the same appeals.

Zomivor starts seemingly in the hours following the initial outbreak and through flashbacks reveals what happened over the past year or so. This leads you right into the tension but with no emotional attachment to any characters to care for their success. Due to the fact that this takes place at a college campus across two separate schools and about 3-4 separate groups, the relationships are unclear and this downplays the tension between characters as drama is introduced as it’s hard to tell who is an acquaintance or a friend.

I think this production was overall very weak and the directing choices poorly made. However, the acting was fine and the special effects/zombies were appropriately creepy.

I find myself confused by the high ratings of this, and would love to know if it was as successful domestically as internationally. From the other reviews and comments I’ve seen online, I do think a large portion of people went into this because of a favorite actor.

Excellent business-focused plot and brilliant acting by Jun Ho and Min Ha)

I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this drama, especially since the online comments were quite negative. In my opinion, it is highly underrated! I loved that the main theme was the business world, and that romance—while present—wasn't the only focus.

The drama does a fantastic job of concentrating on the actual process of trading and business. It was great to see every stage of that journey. Watching Tae Pung struggle time and again was difficult, but seeing him find a solution to every problem was incredibly inspiring. It carries a powerful message: never give up.

The chemistry between the leads is excellent. It was wonderful to watch the team's journey; it wasn't easy for them, but seeing them evolve into a true family was heartwarming. Even the side characters were well-developed; you could really feel for them as they navigated the hardships of the business crisis.

Despite having 16 long episodes, I was never bored. I was hooked from beginning to end and finished it in just a few days! The chemistry between Tae Pung and Mi Seon (and especially the acting from Min Ha, who I loved in Way Back Love) was amazing. Their romance was a great addition to the story without overshadowing the business plot.

Jun Ho did an amazing job portraying his character; his acting was truly top-tier. He brought so much depth and emotion to the role that you couldn't help but root for him. His performance, combined with the amazing chemistry he shared with Min Ha, really elevated the entire script. It is rare to see an actor balance the toughness of business with such a genuine emotional heart.

With a great OST and plenty of moments that made me laugh out loud, this drama is a must-watch. If you are looking for a solid story about business and resilience where romance isn't the main factor, I highly recommend ignoring the negative comments and giving this a try!

Mystery at it's best

When I go back, I think I have been wanting to watch this show for over 6 months. While I did not feel like I was waiting, I have given it a thought right now and I realised I was. I had been waiting for a drama like this for about 2 years. Everything that was good, I had watched and had prayed for an interesting new drama. Well, here it is. I can suggest it with both of my hands.
If you like fashion, mystery, something to keep you on your toes until the last episode, give The art of Sarah a try. I liked it, because it felt like one of my favourite books, and being able to solve the story along with the main character felt truly fascinating.
If you on the other side got discouraged to watch it because of negative comments and reviews, perhaps this masterpiece just wasn't meant for you. I'm glad it found me, and if I could help change someone's opinion about it before them watching it, then I've done my job. Because the truth is in the last episode.

Main Leads are chemistry

Watched this lovely series for the comedy and to see Cheng Lei portray a comedic character. As expected, Cheng Lei did not fail in portraying comedic character Xiahou Dan and not just that, mixing in the comedy with serious attitude Cheng Lei mae the role great and exciting to watch, I was surprised by the acting of Wang Chu Ran, well this is not the first of her drama i have watched, Wang Chu Ran slayed the role of Yu Wan Yin bring in comedic character with action mode. The chemistry cannot explain super hot, never knew Wang Chu Ran and Cheng Lei would bring this boiling chemistry on my screen.
Wang Chu Ran and Cheng Lei did excellent with their acting, movements, facial expression and chemistry. Looking forward to watching the next episodes.

Justice is blind, crooked & murderous!!

This series is so much better than you would be lead to believe if you read some of these harsh reviews. I found it to be extremely entertaining with some great story lines throughout. I would say, I did find a little off in the beginning and felt difficult to get hooked right away. Once I got well into episode 2, that's when it became a bit captivating. The rest of the series after that was truly great, well written and definitely well acted.
Ji Sung was simply fantastic. I find he always gives a strong performance no matter what role he's playing, so it's safe to say that he did not disappoint in this one either. He, along with a great supporting cast, really blended well together. Jin A & Hwang Hee were a big part of that as well.
This drama had pretty much everything you could ask for, bad guys turning good, good guys turning bad ... and several great antagonists that you really despised by the last episode. Hee Soon, without a doubt, would be at the top of that list. He shined fantastically as such an evil character, becoming more sadistic with each passing episode.
The only thing I found a bit puzzling was the very end. Not to give anything away, but we seem to have been left hanging with a couple of events, hinting at a season 2??? Really not sure.
All in all, a really enjoyable series that had it all.

Masterpiece

I don’t have many things to say about this drama other than it broke me every time

this drama is told with a creepy tone and high tension level that you can feel it every single moment

I loved everything about this except the brother story.., they could have handled it better than that but still wouldn’t make it a big difference

“Too real that it hurts you”

best Netflix drama until this moment
maybe Netflix damaged the korean drama industry but at least brought us some great stories if you think about it

the only thing I don’t like is that Netflix dramas don’t have the classic endings songs at the end of each episode

you don’t change that,, it should be a blueprints for all k dramas regardless of who the original producer is

Pleasant way to pass the time

I mainly started watching My Page in the Nineties because of Chen Xingxu and Wang Yuwen.

Chen Xingxu is currently my favorite actor (that changes from time to time, but right now it’s definitely him).

The basic “being pulled into a book” storyline feels quite overused and sometimes doesn’t make much logical sense.
At the beginning, I was a bit bored. However, after a few episodes, you start to feel immersed in the story. The chemistry between the two leads really carries the drama, and their love story is sweet and enjoyable to watch.

The second couple felt rather pale to me, but luckily they weren’t overused. Overall, it’s not a masterpiece in terms of logic, but it’s nicely made and a pleasant way to pass the time.

Was justice really served ??

this drama has a great premise and a strong start yet lost its potential midway
first of all , all actors did a great job except for won jin a , I felt she had the same facial expressions throughout the series either she stares intensely or frowns , I didn't like her acting at all .

this drama starts as a dystopian drama set in year 2035 where it is said that poverty has been eradicated in the name of civilization and poor people had nowhere to go except tunnels and abandoned building , it gives the devil judge vibes so you would expected to continue that way but after han yeong gets a second chance it begins to tone it down nevertheless it was full of funny , action and thriller scenes , i really enjoyed watching han yeong making up for what he did in his past life.

that being said here is what what made it lose potential for me :
kang shin jin in the version of 2035 was this mysterious , powerful and merciless character , yet in 2025 version you see him less calculating and trusting han yeong easily till suddenly we see him taking han yeong to suojae and telling him all about his future plans , i didn't get that transition it was a bit rushed like when did shin jin trust han yeong that much and with someone as calculating and untrusting as shinjin he didn't have han yeong watched ??? he didn't know he was cooperating was the prosecution trying to sabotage his plans ? it didn't make sense for me /

sun won " shin jin thug" what made him serve shinjin with loyalty till the very end even after shinjin betrayed him and tried to kill him , what relationship did these two share ??

what kind of justice was kang shinjin talking about? after framing innocent people and killing witnesses just to let the rich ones off the hook , he wanted power so the rich won't get away with what they have done ? he was the one helping them get away in the first place . what kind of argument did this character have?

In the end after you think you know who is good and who is bad you just see another sujae is formed and this time with some new and some old people and we see beak i seok among them , so had he really gone bad?
and a cellphone was passed to kang shin jin so it isn't over yet ?

this was good in some points yet was still lacking .
