It's So Freakin' Complicated!

I'm still processing my reaction to Moonshadow Ep 1.... I still can't get over Key's declaration that Chan's her 1st love. But Chan can't remember anything about Key! 🤔🫨🤯😵‍💫

And now, I watched Episode 2 .... Still, I can't wrap my brain about what's going on haha haha 😂😆 What da frick did Jay do to Chan?!! Chan seems drowning in so much pain and yearning, but rejects Jay who wants to come back into her life. And Sun's blood boils about Jay's existence. Why?!!?

Meanwhile, Key has so many dark skeletons from her past and many more mysterious intentions and motivations now.

Even Simba seems as stressed as I am about this show hahaha 🤣😂 But it's a good stress, like the mind-fu** I got from watching Christopher Nolan's "Memento"!

Watching MOONSHADOW feels like one exceptionally long - and good! - f**eplay session....

I am agog! I am absolutely speechless about how good MOONSHADOW ep 3 is! "It's complicated." And mysterious. And beautiful. And painful. And simply wonderful!

And that ep 4 preview, "If I tell you, will you get out of her life?" Too yummy, I could hardly breathe, waiting for next Wednesday! MOONSHADOW is turning out to be soooooooooo dang good!!

Moonshadow episode 4 - My goodness. I've watched GL series, after series, after series.... And NOTHING - ABSOLUTELY NO GL SERIES kept getting better and better and better with each episode, until MOONSHADOW came along! Its story is unfolding in such a beautifully nuanced style, that it's absolutely impossible not to fall deeply into the Chan-Key-J rabbit hole! EmiBonnie have that unmatched chemistry that just ignites the screen! And Film as the villainess you'd love to hate but you simply couldn't because she's perfect? Well, she's perfect! Everything and everyone in MOONSHADOW is so addictive. It's like every episode leads the viewer into a new level of an intriguing, delicious, high.... If this trend keeps up until the Finale, MOONSHADOW would turn out to be one of the very best GL series that came out of 🇹🇭! Keep up the irresistible work that you're churning out, Moonshadow! Great job.

What was this for?

*Contains spoilers from I Feel You Linger in the Air*

After finishing I Feel You Linger in the Air I immediately watched this and I was more than confused. I'm aware that most special episodes tend to just be a little side story with some extra fluff or spice, but this episode just made no sense to me. For starters Linger ended with us never seeing any of the side characters' reincarnations, Jom and Yai only reuniting in the last minute, and Jom randomly being sent back to the past again to meet another reincarnation of Yai after the end credits. So there was plenty of material for the writers to delve into for the special episode, but then for some reason they just chose to not?? Instead the ending of Linger is completely retconned, were made to believe that Jom and Yai never reunited, and we don't get to see a single other character from Linger in the special.
The producers could have said this episode was for literally anything besides being a special for Linger because other than the main characters sharing names this had nothing to do with Linger. Even the setting made no sense, Jom promised Yai that he'd wait for him at their house in Chiang Mai so why is he now living in Bangkok? I was so confused that I actually started wondering at one point if this was supposed to be an advertisement for the products they were playing around with in the episode and that's why the story was so weird.
This one completely missed the mark and is really not worth watching if you're interested in a continuation of Linger. Treating it as a standalone episode though, not related to Linger, it was cute. A character traveling from past to future is not a common occurrence so it was interesting to see that play out and Jom and Yai's date looked fun. Pretending this is just a random oneshot that has noting to do with Linger is really the only way to enjoy this episode otherwise you'll be disappointed.

Audiovisual journey

I think I've watched the opening scene in the rain at least ten times! What a banging opening<3 The cinematography was fantastic. It wonderfully enhanced the energy of the music, sparking a wave of emotions before I even knew anything about these characters. Akane on the drums is a pure joy-flavoured energy shot. Adorably infectious. I should watch her on Monday mornings to borrow some of that passion for life:)

There are so many moments like this in the drama where sound and image create a strong sensory experience that pulls you in and draws the emotions out of you. The production effort that went into this drama is insane. I loved the immersive atmosphere, striking concert performances, crowd synergy, strong sense of place, impromptu music sessions and moments of deep conversation beautifully framed by lighting and music …better than the actual plot. Well, I guess you could say that the music is the plot because that's what drives the narrative from start to finish, but unlike the music, some character arcs and conflicts lack the space to fully play out, so they feel underdeveloped or contrived.

The story circles around Naoki’s issues, which is understandable because he’s the group’s frontman and main creative power. The episode storylines mirror the process of songs taking shape from the noise in his head to a fullblown TENBLANK sound. However, since this is a four-person band I was expecting each character to get their own musical or life breakthrough, other than just serving as inspiration for the absentminded 'genius'. The passion for music that burned so brightly with him and Akane was kind of lost when it came to Sho (guitar) and Kazushi (piano). Honestly, they felt like little more than extras in some episodes and both deserved better character development. I was interested in the rivalry between Naoki and Kazushi that we were told about early on, but if it was there it slipped unnoticed by me... What was supposed to be the emotional high point of the story - the unveiling of Naoki’s secret explaining the desperation permeating his creative process and a love confession, left little impact on me compared to the musical performances. Maybe it’s because the plot relies too much on well-known cliches, while the music feels fresh and exciting.

‘Vibrato’ is my favourite arc - with a fantastic song, a crazy but emotional performance, complicated sibling relationship, drama, blood and tears;) Plus, Toya as frontman beats all the other characters in the charisma department. I found it funny when he said that Naoki dominated their duet, when I couldn't even bother to look at anyone else. A rockstar haunted by his past is not exactly an original concept, but Suda Masaki’s take on it is a terrific blend of in-your-face audacity, raw energy and vulnerability. The electric chemistry with everyone was a highlight too. I’ve become a fan:)

If I ever rewatch this drama I’ll probably do it in bits and pieces to recapture the feels and relive the vibes. Music is a universal language and images are worth a thousand words (or something like that;), so I think this type of drama may appeal to many people in many different ways.

Fun, kooky lighthearted series

Not everything in the series makes sense – 'I'll extend the lease if she marries me' – but that is the heart of the show. Country girl meets city girl and all types of sparks fly.

The acting is bit over-the-top and the supporting characters can get a bit zany but that all just adds to the enjoyment of the show. It is a lot of fun watching Si (Saranphat Pedersen), the spoiled, rich city girl experience country life under the guidance of Klao (Punyapat Wangpongsathaporn), the wealthy but down-to-earth country girl. The best part of the series is watching Si mature and grow as her relationship with Klao deepens.

This is the third pairing of these two actresses and you can see how well they work together. They have great chemistry and seem to really have a lot of fun with each other.

The story is fairly simple and doesn't really add anything surprising....and does have some fairly big holes....but that's fine. We all need a palate cleanser between weightier stories and this lighthearted series does a great job providing that.

The series does hit a major snag in ep 7 though. The episode starts very sad, moves to a joyous event and then falls off the cliff into stupidity that continues into the finale. While this sub-story does provide a couple of amusing zany scenes, the underlying stupidity upon which it is based detracts from an otherwise amusing series. Fortunately, they wrap it up and provide a decent ending for the series....if they'd just cut out those 30 minutes, the series would be much better.

Genuinely might be one of the worst second seasons of television I've ever seen.

This season just felt like a downgrade compared to the first one in almost every manner. The songs didn't slap as hard, the acting still sucked, and the plot became more absurd.

Listen, I know the title says "Dark Side," but I didn't really think it was about to me viscerally disturbed by the end. Why is this season tagged as "comedy" and "romance"? This should be a psychological horror......I say this because the implications by the end are horrifying. But, I'll get to that later.

Season one's writing was no cake walk, but it at least had a charm to it that made it so absurd that it became hilarious. But this one? I can't say the same. It just felt like this whole season was about stupid love triangles involving Yuri and Keifer. No, seriously, why are these guys ALWAYS going for the same girls? And then they act all surprised when they have beef and yet MAYBE just don't argue over women you barely know? How are these guys even friends anymore? They are so petty and possessive over whatever (whoever) the other has! Every episode was just Jay-jay flipflopping between the two of them and the jealously fits from them NEVER end. Every. Episode. The other characters seem to become more irrelevant compared to season one and almost no one matters except the main three. The only other plot that seemed to be interesting was the one with Percy, but that is so poorly explained and blue-balling the audience until the end of the season that I stopped caring. This show also can't stop relying on how everyone gets kidnapped every time they need something to spice the plot up. This girl Jay-jay has been getting consistently kidnapped since before the start of the series! How she hasn't developed a sixth sense for it yet amazes me. Then her ex-boyfriend comes back and attacks her in public facilities! What is even happening in the plot anymore???

The acting was terrible per usual. Though, to no one's surprise, Keifer's remained the worst. His "YURI, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR STRENGTH!" remains embedded in my brain. I just couldn't take any scene with him in it seriously because of how terrible the line delivery was. The others pale in comparison so I don't think I even need to mention them, but they aren't particularly good either.

I don't know if I was just seeing things, but I swear the lighting was weird in a lot of scenes this season. It was like they had the lights shining so bright that things became fuzzy and it was really distracting. The opening also didn't slap the same as it did in season one.

The characters were absolutely butchered this season. Why are they written so terribly?:
- Jay-jay suddenly seems much weaker and co-dependent on the abusive men around her, and she can't make just address the situation with Yuri and Keifer properly even though she so clearly likes Keifer. Then, her family is abysmal and I couldn't stand them. They just sold off their teenage niece/cousin and then have the audacity to say they "didn't know how to tell [her]." YES YOU DID. This is literally a horror scenario for women (and anyone probably). She agrees to it to help her family, but then she has a not-so-secret affair with Keifer RIGHT after; so what was even the point then?! And can her mom please be booted from the family? How is she even allowed to keep bringing her new boy-toys to her relative's home? Put your foot down and send her away! Aries and Jay-jay are right to hate her. Also, I hate how she is so forgiving of the guy that literally drugged and attempted to rape her. She doesn't even seem phased whatsoever, and instead seems to view it in a joking manner. Why is her main concern how her shirt is inside out, if Keifer and Yuri saw her naked, and that she could've been knocked up like Grace???? How about how you were almost violated in a horrifying way......but no, the guys in the class cared far more than she did, and then she is critical of them for it. How does a girl that has been abused so much she has traumatic episodes and breakdowns around dangerous figures from her past have no reaction to someone that she liked doing something so awful to her? And then she even forgives and chats with him! What the fuck!
- Yuri was fucking weird this entire season. What the hell do you mean that you asked for the arranged marriage and then expected her to love you back.....? You literally planned to trap her with an arranged marriage that she can't refuse if she cares for her family. Then he flipflops between understanding of Jay-jay to then being jealous easily. It was soooo exhausting watching this weird feedback loop. Him getting with Freya in the past made no sense either and I was so confused on that plot. His weird switching between being a protective guy into then just watching as everyone lies and gets handsy with the fiancé he supposedly "loves" is fucking strange too.
- Keifer is definitely the worst part of this season. He suddenly becomes domestically abusive and screams at a clearly emotionally abused girl that he "loves." Horrors of the patriarchy. The scene where he forcefully pushes her against a wall and threatens her is terrifying, yet she just brushes past it and the guy isn't punished for it at all. He acts like a mega douche to all of his friends too. Always yelling and accusing them of nonsense. He also won't stop butting into Jay-jay's business and shows up unannounced all the time. Having the audacity to claim he doesn't want to be like his dad but then screams at an abused girl and mistreated Freya too. I get that the story is trying to show how he is fighting against his anger issues he learned from his father, but I seriously don't think they're going about it right. I felt terrified for Jay-jay. I also felt bad for his friends.
- Aries. Dear god, his whole small arc felt USELESS this entire season. What do you mean we're gonna get a whole background and secret sibling reveal from him along with him fighting for Jay-jay's sake in the last season ONLY TO SUDDENLY HAVE HIM SAY HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HER WELLBEING AT ALL??? Make it make sense. As someone that is very close with their sibling, I cannot stand this guy as an older brother. How can he just swap between caring and then not caring so easily? That is not how true sibling bonding works. As such, he must've not really cared from the beginning, or the writing sucks (I wonder which one it is!).
- David. He gets a special section to himself because I HATE what they did to him in the last episode. He was one of my favorite characters in both of the seasons UNTIL they made him kiss a distressed Jay-jay out of FUCKING NOWHERE!!! The first season even joked about how he didn't actually like her as anything more than a friend, but now he acts like a weirdo to 'justify' Keifer's subsequent outburst. Even thought David did everything in order for his girlfriend (that he loved very dearly) to get treatment. But then he kisses a girl that is dating his friend when she is in distress. Garbage.
- The other characters. Catty women and sidelined supporting dudes. Of course we have to have to ultra-feminine divas that are bitches but it's "justified" somehow. Freya, maybe Jay-jay views you as a bitch when you first met because THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOWED HER! And of course, the other guys in the class feel like they are irrelevant except for Ci-N and the two gay guys for like half an episode. But Ci-N feels less funny, and the gay guys are also somehow jerks or weirdos to Jay-jay so their representation is dogwater.

Then, of course, the ending and its implications are the worst part of this season. The whole season has been showing the red flags of Keifer and the last episode seals the deal with him literally slut-shaming Jay-jay and humiliating her. And yet, this man will inevitably be endgame. This becomes ten times more disturbing when you remember how the season shows firsthand how Jay-jay has been getting abused by people her whole life; her current family sold her off, and her friends have been lying to the whole show. She is severely traumatized, yet the man that threatens her, screams in her face, sexually harasses, and manhandles her will be her eventual partner for life. She is treated like a trading token by her family, as well as beaten often and almost raped on account of her association with her love interest. Meanwhile, her brother and fiancé are aware but watch from afar half of the time. Ella was framed as a spiteful mean girl, but she was on to something when she warned Jay-jay that being with Keifer won't go anywhere good; she will never be free from the cycle of abuse.

That's all I really had to say. I think this season should be considered a psychological horror depicting the torments of a girl under the patriarchal cycle of abuse. Threatened, slut-shamed, beaten, sexually assaulted, and sold off. But alas, the story will be wrapped up as a romance. Somehow.

I fear for Jay-jay's future. (╥╯⌒╰╥๑)

Now THAT'S how you make a drama!!

This drama from beginning to end.. zero complaints! The casting.. the acting.. the storyline.. cinematography.. and overall execution was a 10. Bravo! This drama shows how its supposed to be done. The character build up. The arcs. The closures. The director and writers did a great job. The story was refreshing and heart warming. Im not a fan of complicated relationships between leads. I love how they started as enemies. Went through some trials together and sat down and was honest with eachother on what they expected from eachother. No break ups for 3 years or being seduced by other people. The leads loved eachother genuinely and always respected eachothers opinions. Even when they didnt agree the other wouldnt restrict the other on their choices. The love story is so subtle but yet so sweet. The side characters get you interested.. they make you want to know why they are the way they are. The pacing of the show was perfect. It wasnt rushed. The writers made sure everyone had their closure and peace. The amount of episodes was enough to give the audience satisfaction and transition to where we're not dying for answers or losing sleep after the show. I truly loved this show. I can say it is one of the best. I would highly recommend and i will happily rewatch any time 💜

Well done series on a sensitive topic

If you are looking for a provocative, soft-porn series, this is not it. This series does a good job with several different sexual topics that are relevant today. While it has an overarching plotline concerning the romance thread and sexual trauma, much of it is episodic in nature. The main character is Ichito Shimotori (Kento Nakajima) who is a psychiatrist specializing in treating sexual mental health disorders. The first several episodes introduce the romantic thread but are primarily about Shimotori treating several different sexual mental health issues. The last few episodes delve into the relationship of Shimotori and Yumi Ichinose (Yuko Araki) – both in the perspective of their personal and professional lives.

The series is very well done. The sub-stories are somewhat provocative but handled in a manner that is interesting without crossing the line. The romance thread is a bit light and can be confusing at times as there is a lot to unpack yet only 7 episodes in which to do it....and much of that is absorbed by the sub-stories. But KN & YA are excellent in their roles and provide a believable performance.

Overall, a series well worth watching.

A real enjoyable gore and zombie film!

Good :
- Power house casting. Jun Ji Hyun and Koo Kyun Hwan carried the film to the last minute. Ji Chang Wook and Go Soo were limited by character development story and very one face character.

- Zombies are great! The body twists, cracking, eyes bulging & the muscus (ewww~~!)! Even better than Train to Busan. They are the stars of the movie!

- The props and building preparation is very good as well.

Lacking :
- Story depth. Too many characters to focus on. Not enough time for even a scratch on the surface for most characters. Even the villian story is barely reasonable for the cause.

- Waste of actors talent. Ji Chang Wook, Kim Shin Rock，Kim Jong Tae, Shin Hyun Been and etc are all immensely talented actors wasted on subpar characters. It is almost like they are just there for the sake of power house casting.

- Monkeys CGI is the worse cgi I seen in a while in 2026. Lol...

Watch for the zombies!
Watch for the make up and sound/visual effects!
Watch for Koo and Jun acting!

Overall, a solid weekend movie. KUDOS!

NOUR is especially made for me. It passed my standards as soon as I watched the teasers.

I'm so fascinated by Nour already, looking forward to the new releases every week.

August is proving to be a golden era for BL fans around the globe. Top-notch series are dropping one after another, It easily stands out among the flood of incredible new Thai and Japanese releases. This massive wave of content keeps screens packed with diverse storylines and exciting new actor pairings every single day, the newly paired actors like the couple in The Edge Of Horizon, Match Point, Love Destiny or This onee, Nour, it's their first time actually acting together as partners, still so premium acting.

Among this incredible lineup, the newly released series Nour stands out for its highly creative premise. The series has a high-quality production, stunning visual effects, and a unique, creative concept. Moving away from typical vampire tropes, it introduces an entirely new, imaginary immortal entity called a "Nour."

A High-Quality Cinematic Experience ::

The initial pilot and teasers for Nour set an exceptionally high bar for me and the fandom.
The first two episodes have completely blown past those expectations of mine. The show boasts Hollywood-level visual effects that look incredibly realistic on screen. Combined with stunning production design and beautiful settings, the series delivers a premium cinematic experience that kept me completely glued to the screen.

Fresh Casting and Unmatched Screen Presence :::

The casting choices bring an entirely fresh, magnetic energy to this supernatural thriller. Boss Patthakarn delivers a flawless performance for his first-ever BL role. He acts with the absolute confidence and depth of a seasoned veteran. Standing right alongside him is Tongtong Kitsakorn, who finally steps into a well-deserved main lead role. Both actors carry a gorgeous screen presence that naturally elevates the gravity of every single scene.

Redemption for Tongtong Kitsakorn :
He previously stole hearts as Jet in The Wicked Game, honestly I deeply shipped him with his bodyguard Phum, played by Inn Jakkrasin. That storyline ended in heartbreak when Phum tragically died, leaving their mutual feelings unresolved.
While Inn Jakkrasin moved on to play Phob in The Edge Of Horizon, I'm extremely thrilled to finally see Tongtong as a powerful main lead here.

A Crime Investigation in Krung Thep Mahanakorn -At its core, the drama hooked me with an intense and dark crime mystery set in Krung Thep, Thailand.
A brilliant and exceptionally brave detective, Inspector James, is brought in as a wildcard entry to solve a horrific string of serial killings. The victims are left in completely inhuman conditions. This makes the local population terrified that a supernatural force is walking among them.
*Inspector James possesses the ability to see the "colors" of people's souls. Whenever someone is lying or is an evil person, James sees them as red.
*The ultimate irony of the show is that his partner, Captain Ken (played by Tongtong Kitsakorn), is colorblind and cannot see the color red—the exact color that exposes lies.

The Ultimate Supernatural Irony :
While the incompetent local authorities try to pin the blame on innocent bystanders, the suspects all share an identical, chilling detail. They insist they saw a mysterious, blue-eyed creature known as a Nour.
A Nour is an immortal entity that survives by sucking human and can strike them anywhere at any time.
James is partnered with the cold, brilliant Dr. Ken, an inspector who uniquely doubles as a medical examiner.
The ultimate irony, which I'm already privy to, is that Dr. Ken is actually a centuries-old Nour himself.
He has spent lifetimes trying and failing to end his own immortal life.
While he is a supernatural creature, the unfolding evidence suggests a different, rogue Nour who escaped the police is the true mastermind behind the murders maybe, but we can't trust just our six senses, we needa go along with the flow and discover the truth behind those brutal murders.

High-Voltage Chemistry and Bickering Romance ::

The dynamic between James and Ken perfectly blends a thrilling investigation with an addictive enemies-to-lovers romance. The two share a delightful, chaotic bickering relationship that slowly boils over into intense, high-voltage chemistry.

The ending kiss scene of the 2nd episode delivered pure goosebumps.
Preceded by a spine-chilling moment where Ken licked his finger, the raw and passionate kiss, basically they just hooked their mouths not every couple do thatt, it looked professional. The close up in the 3rd episode makes it look much better..
James's reaction after the kiss, gave me chills I don't know why. Ken was craving for blood reminded me of vampires, they are quite similar The Nours and The Vampires.

The 3rd episode's Dr. Ken didn't even try to avoid, interested kissed back, damn, now they're annoyed that the phone was ringing I understand it was disturbing them, how hilarious -You are the one who set the boundaries and you're the one who crossed itt first. They have such an intense chemistry, I can't believe it. They're going crazy especially James.

We're getting many plot twists till the end of an episode, every episode, The other Nour Tee was already dead, and now I think James is gonna get sus about Ken's actual identity, that is already known to us. I wanna see through James's reaction when he acquires the truth, that he's working with the creature he hates the most..
There are too many Nours in here. I thought Ken was the only one.

The Sweet Contrast of the Second Couple :::
This intense supernatural heat is perfectly balanced by the second couple, Kirat and Chita.
While they didn't stand out much in the initial teasers, their execution in the first two episodes has excited me to continue watching them.
They serve as a sweet, comforting, and gentle contrast to the chaotic main couple. But the main stands in the front for sure.
Their relationship brings a softer, highly addictive romantic arc to the series.

Kirat and Chita display seamless coordination and a deep mutual understanding that makes them incredibly captivating. The affectionate, lingering glances they share make it clear that they are already falling hard for each other, especially Chita.
Chita can't resist and kissed, I understand him, he fell too hard, for the only brightness in his lifee. Who could resist that much closeness, I realised something was going to happen..

Toey Pongsakorn, who previously flew under the radar in Top Form—this duo provides a comforting romantic. How come I never noticed him in Top Form, my badd. Chita's down badd, the both of them have such a great relationship. Kirat is finally not avoiding the feelings he's having, it's all a thanks to James..

With a perfect mix of thriller, investigation, supernatural mystery, and incredible romance, Nour easily surpasses every standard for a top-notch drama. It guarantees something thrilling to look forward to every week!

I'm so damn confused, everyone is turning out as a Nour, at first I thought it was just Dr. Ken who was the Nour, but then Tee and then his girlfriend Pear and now literally the one who looked the weakest and innocent is the one most dangerous and powerful. Ohh godd, it wasn't mee I still can't believe Chita is a Nour the most powerful onee Shiaaa. And now Kirat waohh that's enough.

That scene was so intense between Chita and Kirat at the moment, ofcourse you know which scene I'm taking about.
At first it was the main couple being intense and the second one being sweet and soft, but now it's totally vise versa tbh.

James doesn't really want Ken to die, but Ken has been trying to die from decades, finally found the Nour who could actually give him peace, but y at the time when he found his other one. Huh ?

The ending was not that engaging or satisfying, they skipped some details. But I won't say it was a bad one, an average one tbh. The ending was a bit weird

It's recommended by my side, something new and fresh.

Lol Despite this much of hate reviews flying around here, I actually enjoyed it very much. At least it is waaaaayyy better than Alice in Borderland. I have never been a fan of deathgames sort of stories, but this one got me hooked despite the ridiculous start where the world turned into the novel ML had been reading since the last 10years.

Maybe me not having a prior experience with the original novel or webtoon contributed to this cuz all the hate reviews I read had been from the novel’s readers. Good thing for that cuz that made me enjoy the show and not see much flop. The powerups, CGIs and action choreograph are the bomb and i even get to see Prince Gowon of Alchemy of Souls again here, have always had a soft spot for him. I enjoyed the movie and would be delighted if they come up with sequels, but looking at the hate it received I guess there wont be any continuation of this. Too bad for that really. The gang of five - Dokja, Hyeonsong, Sang Ah, Huiwon and little Gilyeong had been explosive, and i would really like to see them work with the supposedly hero of the novel Junghyeok. But i wont have my hopes up 🙁

Unbreakable Bond of a Family

I was honestly expecting a teen flick kind of story, but was served with a full dose of family drama of growth and unity, with the badass leads being the parents instead of the teenage twins which surprises me even more. I totally love every member of the family, from the cheeky grandpa Gangseong, to the awkward partners in marriage appa one-hand fighter Chulhee and omma brain hacker Yeongsu, to the tech whiz Jihun to the broody killing machine Jiwoo.

The family of 5 is constantly on the move as theyre on the run from a secret organization that conducts Special Training, where they trains kids with special abilities to do their bidding. 17years ago Chulhee, Gangseong and Yeongsu escaped from such place with twin babies in tow, and they have been on the run since. Jiwoo being heavy-handed with the bullies at school gets expelled regularly and they finally end up in another remote town where they come to be embroiled in the local church scam, gangsters and murderers. As they face the challenges, it also strengthens their bond as a family while awakening powers that the kids never expected.

Honestly I could not find a flaw in any of the acting. Theyre totally on point, a special kudos to Bae Doona who played Yeongsu she really nailed it as the broken mother figure of the family despite them not having any blood relation with each other. The range of emotions that the character Yeongsu had, initially the emotionlessly unhinged that gradually turned into warmth and longing for love from the daughter she never gave birth to.

I rarely root for bratty rebellious teens who constantly disrespect their parents, but Baek Jiwoo is somehow hard to hate. The actress Lee Suhyun has a very unique facial features that doesnt really look too Korean, and the frizzy haircut kinda reflects the character’s rebellious heart. Haunted by a trauma that somehow made her despise Yeongsu, Jiwoo is particularly ruthless towards this woman she never called mother despite Yeongsu trying her best to win her heart, and keeps saying how she isnt her real mother when Jihun tells her to cut some slack. While Jiwoo hates Yeongsu, Jihun on the other hand admires her very much, as he had seen how Yeongsu brainhacks villains in the past. Lomon who played Jihun is definitely a feast to the eyes, his character is particularly charming and lovable in nature.

The action is definitely a great watch but dont expect much flamboyant moves. Streetfights are the real deal when it comes to the action choreograph here. I just cant wait for season 2 to come out and hopefully they pack more episodes than this one. I cant get enough of the family of five.
