Ryu Soo Yeol!♥️♥️

This drama was wild! So funny and well done. The relationship between Soo Yeol and K, his alter ego, is hilarious. And the kiss scene with Hui Gyeom in episode 7 was 🥵❤️‍🔥🥵❤️‍🔥. I loved how Soo Yeol started as a corrupt cop and turned into the hero K wanted to be. His back story is really sad and deep. I could not have imagined that Ju Hyeok was the bad guy! And the other therapist was just so funny. Soo Yeol never listened to him and showed up all the time to talk to him. He really helped him in the end. The ending was satisfying and hopeful. I was really happy with it.

Missing passion and boring drama

Waiting for damn express to be over and then I’ll finish this at very high speed, some thoughts for now

This goes on my disappointing list of 2025. That drama didn’t hook me at all, finding it boring and I am not attached, invested in anything…. Such a lame story. Even for just 24 eps, this is too long.

Everyone talks about it, that topic will never end, but I’ll still give my two cent. A drama without kissing scenes can be okay, even if it’s not my preference (I love a good romance with great skinship and chemistry), if it’s done well and depending of the story. Like exemple, I think it was okay in The demon hunter’s romance. (Even if we got a little peck kiss in that one). It had not passionate kiss, but I pretty much enjoyed the romance either way. At the same time, that drama wasn’t main focus on romance, so we had other things going on

And if the actors can still portray chemistry well and still some kind of intimacy (can be hugs, the eyes speaking, tension, holding hands, cheek or forhead kiss, etc…). We got some of that in here, but for a drama mainly on romance, it was lacking to me, The worst in this drama is not the no kissing scenes policy, it’s that this script was definitely written with intimacy and kissing scenes…. I don’t know who made those choices, but fake weird angle kisses was such an horrible idea. I am not in this to watch a « kids romance ». And then talking about the « passionate kiss, good kisser or whatever » damn weird since we know none of that happened. Just like the hickey…. Such missed opportunity, when you know that atmosphere, scene would have been perfect for a passionate kiss, but we get ML trying, obviously see they aren’t kissing, even looks like his lips are on her nose, her doing absolutely nothing. Ruining the moment. Mistake and miscast were made unfortunately. Maybe that was the less expensive solution, I don’t know, but instead of those fake kiss, couldn’t they modify the script a little and completely getting rid of kissing scenes and having more something else ? But at the same time, would it really had been better, if she’s clearly not comfortable in being close or anything at all 🤷‍♀️ another possibility someone actually said in the comments, a double for kissing scene 😅 anyway, would another actress really had made this drama better for me, not sure since I don’t even like the plot in general

He’s handsome, but the second guy is completely unnecessary in the story

The leads look good together at least I guess

If we take out the romantic side, I don’t think she’s a bad actress. She just need to find a drama that have 0 romance and mostly 0 contact with male costar if she’s not confortable and can’t act the part. Waiting to see in her next drama starting next week to see how she does

Want An Yu is great. He mostly carried this. It was not my first drama of him (this one is like the fourth ?), even if it was mid, most recent one, I think he gave a great performance in « Such a good love » this year, I knew he would be good here too.

I’ve seen a few comments about it, but I agree the the music wasn’t bad

Directing, editing and all could have been better at time


To be continued…..

A must watch!!

Words are not enough to express how much I love this drama. It is one of my favorites. The story is beautifully sad and I cry like a baby every single time. The bromance between Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo is everything!!! They always make me laugh! Lee Dong Wook as the grim reaper was a perfect casting choice! (every time he is casted, it's a perfect choice). This gorgeous man can be awkward, funny, crazy, sad, angry, etc. And I love how he looks so young when he is clean shaven but so mature with facial hair. He is just so beautiful, and HOT 🥵❤️‍🔥🥰♥️. His portrayal of older Wang Yeo was superb; as usual, he gives it his all. And of course Gong Yoo was amazing as the goblin, too. He is an amazing actor and I love his friendship with Dong Wook so much! They have amazing chemistry!

How to be "Passionlessly" out of love!

This show was on my radar before it aired. Both leads look compatible visually and close in age with an interesting romance drama titled "passionate in love" and implies two young lovers in a full-blown passionate affair. Oh boy, what can go wrong?

Character wise, I cannot even hide my disappointment in the lack of storyline, it felt like ML was chasing after FL the whole time. FL has a borderline narcissistic personality which she describes as overconfidence. She is inconsiderate about everyone else until someone is upfront with her. ML acts like FL is his whole life which you can interpret as "romantic" but its not. Many times, FL is playing around cause she enjoys the chase and excitement. This is exacerbated by the fact that actress herself cannot perform intimate scenes and brought on a whole controversy that is more heated than the non-existent plot in this show. The FL just appears to keep dodging at the thought of a potential kiss. The FL in the novel is bold, confident and - let's be real - not at all shy when it comes to kissing since she initiates most of them. FL in drama is complete opposite, to say she is a miscast for whatever reasons is an understatement. The whole production team trying to sell a product that doesn't resonate with what the audience expects, play with teasers and build up the anticipation only to ruin it, you bet there will be a backlash. It feels like one paid for premium but ended getting scammed with an inferior product, cannot shake off that feeling like being ripped off cause they cheap out with fake camera angles and borrowed kisses. They are being downright disrespectful to the viewers and they're not even trying to hide that fact.

Many times it feels like ML is trying to salvage the remaining pieces, but FL has a low EQ and has a problem with reciprocating love. Most of the time the actress herself spaces out without an ounce of this "passion" for acting. When the scene requires intimacy, ML is giving passionate gazes and shooting cupid arrows at her, FL just tenses up and becomes a frozen cube. As a viewer, that discomfort transfers over to me once I realized she is truly intimated by intimacies so all those romantic scenes looks forced and unnatural. It truly was hard to watch! The only thing that had it going was the good OST. I still managed to finish the show barely getting through it with FF button.

Editing wise, there were so many choppy parts where they were doing one scene and it skipped over to something else so they ruined the whole flow of the story. The leads' relationship felt tumultuous and downright unhealthy and it felt like they were both in this sort of complicated loop that they can't climb out of. Sure they manage to get a happy ending but it fell short and didn't seem to address the issues that kept popping out throughout the entirety of the show. You can say they sort of breezed through it. Towards the end they continue to drag on unnecessary filler scenes and the focus started shifting towards the supporting couple. It almost felt like the actress and/or director sabotaged her character but she isn't entirely at fault since her agency should have not accepted a script if she's downright uncomfortable doing these roles. The director is still mostly at fault for casting an actress who cannot deliver along with the poor directing/editing so there's a whole set of problems that spiraled into what it is. Quite disappointed since it was high on my anticipated list of shows to watch but floundered as it progressed on. This has got to be one of the worst romance dramas I've seen, I'm just not vibing with the flaws in this.

Is it worth the watch?

Yes, if you didn't read the novel and have little to no expectations. Visually it's top notch and the leads look great together, the acting is not atrocious, only subpar and flat at times but still somewhat bearable.

No, if you loved the novel and have standard expectations as you bet you're going to be very frustrated as there doesn't seem to be much of a plot and feels messy at times.

I am literally GAGGED

I started watching this because somebody recommended it on TikTok, and I am literally GAGGED. This is what I imagine when they say "psychological thriller." The way they frame Ba Reum's character as likeable, they get you to fall deeply in love with the character, then completely crush the character's entire being to create another version of him that is morally questionable but still socially "acceptable," then reveal what he is really like is sooo genius. Every character has so much depth and connection to each other, and it builds a level of complexity that completely destroys the idea of strictly good or bad. It is very well done to the point that you find it difficult to completely hate any characters. This is such an interesting approach to psychological thrillers, and I would recommend it to everybody that is into this genre or open to it. Ko Mu Chi I LOVE YOU!

9/10 watch.
2.0 rewatch value because my mental is not strong enough to watch it more than once.

Edge of my seat

This drama has me so invested. It's beautiful but nerve wracking! Really has me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. An ancient costume drama of political intrigue, "Legend of Zang Hai" is a quality production with a well crafted script/plot. The complex narrative tension is top notch. There are many high-energy reversals which are making viewers crazy. The combination of deep character creation and a strong cast grabs the audience right from the start. I've been impressed with the actors, especially Xiao Zhan in the title role. Not only is he devastatingly handsome but his acting is very detailed and nuanced, with micro expressions that are on point. I highly recommend this drama. I literally can't wait for each episode to drop and worry about Zang Hai in between episodes. Please survive Zhinu!

Silly and hilarious

The plot is silly but hilarious until it gets messy and annoying at the second half. There are also some scenes that are bullying but then they were ignored afterwards, while some of those actions are just unforgivable.

Although our female lead Qian Qian is childish and stupid and makes a lot of bad choices throughout the show, the leads still have some cute moments together and their two male servants Zi Rui and Bai Ji are the best characters. Their actions alone are already so funny and their bickering interactions are literally the most hilarious parts of the show. The conversations between the female lead and three writers are so funny as well, and the tale of banana, orange, and apple is just iconic.

There are a lot of funny parodies of other dramas and movies and different tales, especially the Hua Mulan part lol. Han Shuo’s parents are hilarious, and their conversation with Qian Qian’s mom is gold.

I couldn’t help but keep imaging how the world would be if such a place like Huayuan City really existed.

Most of other characters are annoying, especially the second leads, and I couldn’t care less about the oldest sister’s story. They should have focused more on the romance between the leads instead of them, as their parts are so unbearable and unnecessary, in my opinion. I can’t understand why the screenwriters must create toxic love triangles and evil third wheels all the time. Why couldn’t they just be loving sisters and a supportive male friend? Seriously, I haven’t hated a second male lead like this in years. For the second female lead, I felt bad for her at some point.

By the way, despite cheap looking clothes and ugly hairstyles, the leads still look pretty and maybe that even makes the show more hilarious.

A Gripping Ride from Start to Finish – “Mercy to None” Will Leave You Breathless!

I just finished watching Mercy to None, and wow… I’m still recovering emotionally. This K-drama completely caught me off guard in the best way possible. From the first episode, it pulls you in with intense storytelling, a dark atmosphere, and characters that are anything but predictable.

The lead actor absolutely nailed the role – his transformation from a quiet civil servant to a cold, calculated vigilante is chilling and heartbreaking at the same time. You can literally feel his pain and desperation in every scene. And the female lead? Don’t even get me started. She’s not your typical K-drama heroine; she’s fierce, flawed, and you can’t help but root for her even when she’s making morally gray choices.

The plot twists are insane. Just when you think you’ve figured something out, the show flips the script completely. There were moments I had to pause just to process what happened. And the cinematography? Chef’s kiss. The way they play with shadows and silence makes the whole series feel like a high-quality thriller movie.

I also appreciated how Mercy to None didn’t shy away from the darker sides of human nature. It’s not a feel-good drama, but it’s thought-provoking and brutally honest about justice, revenge, and redemption. The last two episodes had me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails and yelling at my screen.

If you like K-dramas that are gritty, suspenseful, and emotionally heavy with complex characters, Mercy to None is a must-watch. It’s not your typical love story – it’s a psychological ride that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll.

Rating: 9.5/10 – Not for the faint of heart, but absolutely unforgettable.

Has a lot of potential

The plot/story of the show is really good and intriguing, but a couple of things could be better. I'll start with what was done well.
- The special effects for the transformation were pretty good.
- Some of the actors did a really great job acting (Joss, Neo, Um, and Mond stood out).
- Good wardrobe (yes, I care about this.)
- The intimacy seemed very natural.

Improvements
- The second male lead's acting was a bit rough at times. I noticed this a lot in scenes where he had to be sleeping or he had to be cutesy. It simply did not work.
- The special effects for the fight scenes and speed movements were horrible. For a vampire/supernatural show , this is basically the most important aspect outside of the acting. The horrible SFX took away a lot of the enjoyment from the show.

The show has a lot of potential, but it was not all the way there.

at some point i started dreading dongfang huaizhu's vacant eyes

pros:
-everything is very very pretty, everyone is very very pretty
-some good interpersonal relationships
-I liked the ml too
-it was fun to see a bunch of popular actors just popping up everywhere

cons:
-it is boring, it put me to sleep many times before I finally gave up. even just thinking about the story long enough to write a review is making my eyes roll back in my head out of boredom.
-the fl gave us nothing. lss can't really do a lot of expressions to begin with but this was... extreme. she might as well have been a mannequin the entire time. I had enough of her annoying sister with a 'heart of gold' too.
-a revolving door of popular actors meant the script had to be stretched wide and thin to accommodate them all which didn't work. I have yet to see an ensemble fantasy romance drama that worked.

I actually think liu shishi and zhang yu long could make an interesting cp, this just wasn't the drama for it.
