suprise

I’m going to be honest — at first, I only started watching A Shop for Killers because it features my favorite actor, Lee Dong Wook. He was the main reason I gave the series a try. But to my surprise, I ended up getting completely hooked by the story and the characters.

The beginning may feel a bit slow or confusing, and I almost thought it wasn’t going to be my type of show. But once the story starts to unfold, everything becomes more intense and gripping. The action scenes are well choreographed, the plot becomes clearer and more engaging, and we start to uncover all the hidden layers of this mysterious world.

What I loved most were the characters. They are truly compelling and emotionally engaging. Each one has their own background, pain, and motivations, and the way their stories connect adds a lot of depth to the series. Their relationships are touching and believable, and you quickly find yourself getting attached to them.

What’s great is that A Shop for Killers doesn’t just rely on action — it balances suspense, emotions, and character development really well. The fight scenes are intense and exciting, but they’re also supported by strong storytelling and emotional stakes. The visuals are also very well done, and the atmosphere of the show keeps you on edge in the best way.

In the end, I enjoyed this series way more than I expected. It turned out to be a unique, intense, and heartfelt experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys fast-paced thrillers with mystery, action, and well-written characters.

my opinion

I really enjoyed watching Duty After School because it combines two of my favorite genres: fantasy and teenage drama. From the very first episode, the storyline grabbed my attention. The idea of high school students suddenly being recruited to fight mysterious alien creatures is both original and intense. It’s not something we see every day, and it adds a lot of suspense and excitement to the plot.

One of the things I liked most was how the series shows the emotional and psychological struggles of the students. They are just normal teenagers, dealing with school, friendships, and their future — and suddenly, their lives are completely turned upside down. It made me think about how I would react in such a situation. The characters feel very real, and I became emotionally attached to some of them, especially the ones who were trying to stay strong and protect their friends.

The visual effects and action scenes are also impressive. The creature designs are unique and creepy, which adds to the tension. The atmosphere is sometimes dark and intense, but there are also moments of humor and friendship that make the story more balanced and human.

I also appreciated how the series builds up mystery. We still don’t fully understand what these creatures are or where they came from, which makes me even more excited for the second part. I can't wait to see what happens next and how the characters will evolve.

Fantastic drama

Reset was one of the first cdramas, at least to my memory, that I've watched through from beginning to end, and it was absolutely 100% enjoyable; The story/ plot itself was very refreshing (at least to me), the casting/ acting was fantastic, and the story wasn't dragged out for too many episodes. I loved the buildup of the relationship/ the relationship period between the leads (it's definitely one of my favorites, especially the ML ;)), and the series had some really comedic moments but took itself seriously enough that you could too. Overall I found the drama extremely enjoyable, and would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a good action/ thriller, action with just a *hint* of romance that pays off at the end lol, or just something good to watch in general.


SPOILER(S)↓


Somethings I really loved were;
- the writers didn't purely center around their romance, but dwelt into the psychological tole of being trapped inside groundhogday + speed lol.
- most of the characters were likeable/ lovable and all of them had some form of depth, (weather you agreed with them or not, you knew their backstory lol)
- The action scenes
-the ML (literally one of my favs, he was kind but still willing to do whatever he needed to save them/ get off the bus)
-the FL (she was kind/ caring and strong w/out being annoying or too intense)
-ML and FL personalities and what their lives were supposedly like before the time loop
-ML and FL dynamic
-Rudy and his cat/ Rudy's story

What I could do without/ wasn't big on;
- near the second to last/ last eps they dragged it out/ put a lowkey filler ep
-That they took the time to dwell into each and every person on the bus' backstory in-depth; sometimes it felt like it got in the way of the leads mission or the action
-the cops were a little unnecessarily nosy/ overzealous sometimes ( like when the leads got off the bus early and suddenly it makes the leads terrorists... But hey the cops were just try'na do their job, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I've skipped more then I've watched the series
To be honest, I found latte and almond story boring, could it be due to them being the typical university romance that I'm sick of watching as they are all the same, probably.
However, I did like latte character, the goofy and chaotic friend that will have your back.

The older couple I preferred, not to say I didn't skip some of their scenes. Their story was more interesting and they were a better match in personalities compared to latte and almond.
The ex boyfriend of Thanwa was so not needed to be honest and I feel like he brought nothing to the story.
Peak at times was so irritating as he got others to do this work expecting thanwa can read his mind and knew what he wanted without saying.

I'm surprised I managed to finish it

Great start but the closer it to the end the worse it gets

When I just started watching it I was honestly in love, it was such a great series, but the last few episodes were definitely lacking in a lot of places.
But I do want to start with the things I liked.
I loved the story/plot and the way they executed it as well.
Music was also a good part of the series.
Acting was exceptional, all the emotional moments were shown beautifully, I honestly fell in love with the main characters acting.
Main characters and their differences, I honestly adored them a lot. Actors did a great job showing them to us.
I loved the Fu Li Kung's father, he was like a fresh breath of air after what Cheng's father did. The way he was supporting them was really cute.

Now to the things I didn't enjoy as much.
Fu Li Kung in the last episodes, I don't know what authors were thinking, but they absolutely made him into a full new character. I didn't understand why he would do what he did. A lot of the things he did and said were crazy out of character and felt like I was looking at the different person.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the side couple, for me, they were kinda just there. While the actors did a good job, the characters themselves weren't really a match for me personally, and I didn't felt much chemistry. At the same time, I did like the daughter and the way she was so supportive of her father's relationship.
I think the bartender Nikita storyline was really unnecessary, it was short and had no sense. We didn't get any backstory that would help us understand her and her feelings better, so in the end I was just bored by it and even slightly annoyed.

Overall it was pretty enjoyable to watch and ill definitely will rewatch it in the future!

Absolute GOAT in short drama!!!!

Watched this on IQIYI as “what a good girl” i can't believe that they can make this type of plot in short series. its like so good that it can divert your attention towards the drama and acting
I have watched some short series but the plot is kinda similar in all of them and not so good but this one is just WOW!!!
The actors did absolutely amazing job seriously i can see the difference between other short series and this one, in this one i can see how much the actors really work and made efforts and as a viewer i thought like i am watching a whole drama of 24 ep of 45 min. each like seriously they did do heir job right a whole round of applause to them!!
The chemistry is top notch, not a single scene that i find cringe.
Even they take care of the outfit too like i find that in short drama there is only 2 or 3 sets of outfit or maybe just 1 or 2 but here the outfits are elegant and beautiful its like matching with the atmosphere and the leads personality, another perfect!!
Production quality no complaint like of course they can just don't give a damn because of another short series but but but they absolutely give a whole big damnn and made this drama bright and beautiful the script the dialogues the camera angle the kiss the tease the background sound control the clear dialogues of actors another perfection!!!
This one is absolutely amazing in comparison to other short drama i definitely loved this one.
Hope you loved this discription and my point of view about this drama.
Enjoy ^^

Revenge of the others succeeds at presenting a good story but fails at everything else

this show disappointed me soo much. the first two episodes were catching and interesting. but after that, it became confusing, boring and really nonsense. i just started watching it fastly so it would end. they just missed the whole main initial point of "who killed chankyu". they added too many characters, shallow and bad-written characters. the main characters' actions and feelings just didn't make sense at all and side characters were so poorly developed that it wouldve been better if they werent there. seok jaebom was the only one that had good lore and development.
the relationships were also really weird, it seemed like they just happened yk.

at the end, i think that was the biggest problem. things just didn't matter at all or were just given to the characters. like:

sooheon has a brain tumor? whatever... he faints sometimes but that doesnt matter
osung loves jihyun? okay it doesnt matter. jihyun and chanmi hate eachother? it also doesnt matter.

it really bothered me that the characters were ALWAYS on the right place at the right time. information was just given to them.

also, we watch twelve eps to get to know more about park wonseok and yet we end not knowing shit about his previous life and it should be important for his sister to know bout that.

the ending was just a little bit more of that cliché thing: everything is okay with the main two and that's it. osung death was really forced and we end not knowing what really happened with jaebom (the fact that he was manipulated was kinda ignored also).

overall, it's disappointing. the show gets lost on itself. it gives us good lore but is not able to handle it and make it interesting and logical. it is not worth watching at all.

It's Super Junior in their own variety show—what more could I ask for?

Ten episodes might seem underwhelming for a 20th anniversary celebration but considering their individual and sub-units schedules and commitments, I can definitely see how much effort was put into putting this show together.

You only need one Super Junior member to make a show fun or interesting. And if you get all (active) members together (yes, including Heechul!!) in one show, then you’re in chaotic, fun, and memorable ride.

Truly with Super Junior, expectations are exceeded, especially when it comes to group contents and variety shows. The production staff and the members definitely tried to put all the fans’ and members’ suggestions into one season, and although they don’t get to tick off everything from the list, there were no dull moments and everything was just fun.

The activities they did were fun as always, but more than that, I’m just happy to see how the members always feel much happier and at ease whenever they’re together.

The third season wrapped up really nicely with a touching yet fun activity, which takes me back to how they started—dorm life.

Good luck on the 20th anniversary preparations, Super Junior. Hoping for more seasons of Super TV!

I first watched the series Love O2O and then the movie One Smile Is Very Alluring, and while both are charming, I have to admit I prefer the show. The series has more time to develop the characters and their relationships, allowing for deeper emotional immersion. The story arcs are richer, and the subplots have room to grow, which really enhances the overall experience. While the movie serves as a great introduction to the story, the series truly does justice to every detail and nuance of this adorable romance.

The visuals are stunning, especially during the scenes set in the game’s universe. The action is dynamic, and the virtual world is beautifully crafted—it makes you want to step right into the adventure. It’s a lighthearted, fun film with a positive message about the importance of communication and trust in a relationship.

The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, and the way their lives intertwine in both the real and virtual worlds is genuinely captivating. The film captures the essence of finding love and connection in the most unexpected places.
