What a Ride!

This will be kind of a double review; Age of Youth and Age of Youth 2. I didn't write one for Age of Youth because I feel like I had to watch the second season and gather all my thoughts in one go to see how I really feel about the show as a whole.

When I started the show I wasn't sure because recently I've had a bad streak with slice-of-life dramas but I stuck with this one and I'm very glad I did because there was not a single character I didn't like and I genuinely loved the whole main casts line and also the supporting cast.

I don't really do well with drama with 5 main characters because sometimes it could get too full and cramped but the script wrote each and every character well and spread them throughout the story while intertwining them all.

First off Yoo Eun Jae, In season 1 she was played by Park Hye Soo and I loved her whole vibe since she played the shy introverted pure-hearted very well. Even though I'm a male I emphasised with Eun Jae the most as we have similar personalities. That was why in season 1 she was my favourite character. Her whole storyline in season 1 was very interesting as she had a love life and a childhood trauma that haunted her to her young adult days. In season 2 they replaced her with a new actor to Ji Woo, I'll be 100% I didn't like Ji Woo as much as Hye Soo. I felt like Ji Woo looked unnatural playing the shy character and I felt like the script tried to show that she grew and developed as a character but at times it was quite jarring to watch. Her storyline in season 2 was quite boring as it was basically her trying to win back her boyfriend from season 1 which she eventually gives up in the latter half of season 2.

With Jung Ye Eun, in season 1 she was the classic college girl in the share house, she had a boyfriend wore all bright colours and had a cheery personality which I personally really liked. Ye Eun by the end of season 1 went through quite a lot as she became a victim of relationship violence and ultimately had to undergo therapy and was scared to go outside from the fear of something might happen to her. In season 2 she became a timid character when she went outside but when she was with people she trusted she became herself again. In season 2 Ye Eun became my favourite character as she goes through a really tough storyline and her character develops as she gains her confidence back. The actress Han Seung Yeon who played Ye Eun just seemed to play her perfectly and was very natural. Her relationship with Kwon Ho Chang was very cute as they were opposites but they were attracted with each other as they have similar experiences and Ye Eun needed to meet a sweet person and she got that out of him.

Yoon Jin Myung was very much the mother of the house, everyone looked up to her as an older sister and respected her. Her story in season 1 was interesting as we see that she is not well off and has multiple part-time jobs to support herself financially as she had to pay college debts and also her mom's debts. Han Ye Ri played Jin Myung very well and just fit the role really well. I felt like she had the hardest time out of everyone else as she was the oldest so getting a job and becoming settled in life was her goal as she didn't go to college. In season 2 she gets a job at an entertainment company in which in my opinion was a weird job for her personality but she did meet a great person who is like a little brother to her because of it.

Song Ji Won is what every share-house needs. She was eccentric, loud and positive which at times kept the overall mood on the house positive. Her story wasn't really delved deep in season one which was a good thing because her story kicked off in season 2 and was very interesting and I felt like it would've made season 1 too jam-packed. Song Ji Won is played by Park Eun Bin and I've seen her other works and I must say this was perfect casting as she was just pure entertainment in every scene she was in. In season 2 we see she still her same chipper self but with the addition of the mystery of what happened in her childhood, It was actually quite fucked up once we find out what happened to Moon Hyo Jin and I'm glad it came to light in the end.

Kang Yi Na was a very intriguing character as she was a very bold and confident person. In season 1 her story was sometimes heavy because she had the backstory of that event in which she was the sole survivor and then met the father of a child she knew without realising who it was. She also had the term "prostitute" thrown at her as Ye Na called her that because she had multiple boyfriends and got money from them. Ryu Hwa Young has the perfect image for Yi Na as I couldn't see any of the other housemates have her role. I liked how she didn't take any shit from no one and even though she had arguments with her friends she always defended them and had their backs which I really liked. She wasn't present for the majority of Season 2 as she only had cameos. But every time she was on screen the scene she was in was never boring for a second, episode 1 was probably one of my favourite episodes with her in.

In season 2 we got the addition of a new housemate Cho Eun. She first came off as a standoff-ish tomboy who didn't want to associate herself with the group but the more she mingled with they she saw the good in them and started to warm up to them and show that inside she is a cute and sometimes timid girl. Choi A Ra plays Cho Eun in which this was her acting debut and shes not been in anything since but I really wish we could see more of her. Her friendship with Ye Ji was complicated as people thought they were lesbians as they were too close but in the end, they brushed over this topic and the two friends eventually drifted apart so if we get a season 3 they will make that a plotline.

The OST was surprisingly good as I never skipped the opening to the show as it was just such a catchy song. The other OST throughout the seasons were also good, with Age of Youth OST being slightly better than Age of Youth 2.

Overall this show was a nice breath of fresh air as recently I've been watching quite serious shows so I needed a light-hearted slice-of-life coming of age drama. If you're looking for a drama in which is a female main cast in which explores the different stages of life with each of them then I recommend this show as it also has some good laughs that come with it.

Waste of time

I have never been compelled to make a negative review because they are not worth my time but I just have things to get out there or it will just continue to bug me since it will all bundle up and annoy me. I literally didn't enjoy a single thing about this drama except from the 1st episode in which we get introduced to the two main leads and the supporting cast, maybe it was the best part of the drama because we haven't experienced all the bullshit to come from everyone.

In Kdramas you can feel various emotions like happiness, sadness, tension but for the first time ever in a drama, I felt genuine anger towards to show. Around episode 6-7 where Lee Soo got in a car accident and missed the timing which caused the CEO a Woo Yeon to meet and go out just pissed me off so much because it seemed like the writer just loved to make the two main leads miss each other by the hair in every situation.

I'll be honest I did not like a single character in this show, maybe with the exception of Jin Joo and Sang Hyuk in which they were the only bearable characters. I can tell a lot of people got Second Lead Syndrome which is warranted but I got 'Everyone's a Brick Wall Syndrome'.

First off with the main male lead. I can't like I was really looking forward to him due to Ong Seung Woo but not even he can save the abysmal character that he is. They introduce him as someone who's heart and actions say one thing but his mouth says the complete opposite, like seriously. It was so obvious that he like Woo Yeon but for some reason, he just friend-zoned her time and time again. His cocky narcissistic personality was also so annoying and I don't know how Woo Yeon fell in love with him and stayed that way for 10 years.

Woo Yeon's character also made no sense to me. Why go into relationships purposely knowing you love another person across the planet just to hurt the person you are currently going out with. I disliked her indecisiveness and how she always second-guesses herself. Like if I was Lee Soo I wouldn't like her too. Her character was that boring I literally have nothing to say about her.

The CEO character was also a massive wet wipe. Literally holding everything back being tough on the outside and insecure on the inside. When he realised that Woo Yeon might really go to Lee Soo, he just became plain right annoying with his stalker vibes literally going to where she works and waiting outside her house. He just doesn't know when to give up.

The supporting cast in this drama wasn't anything special in this show. The couple that went out for 10 years was just hard to watch at the female just kept self wallowing in self-pity and didn't know when to accept help and just to overreact and get angry at the people around her was stupid. Her boyfriend deserved so much more for putting up with her. I actually quite like Jin Joo's story that intertwined with Sang Hyuk as they eventually got together after having to jump a few hurdles.

The OST was not anything special to make a not on, to be honest.

Overall I should've listened to my gut around episode 7 and dropped it but my eagerness to see Ong Seung Woo and Shin Ye Eun in a relationship overpowered that and it wasn't even that special, it just felt really different can out of place compared to other dramas I just don't get it. Anyway, I only recommend this drama if you don't give a damn about the story and is only there for the cast in which even that could do that for me. I hope Ong Seung Woo takes a better project next time as he deserved more.

Make your own opinion and don't just trurst negative reviews

I Want to shine some light in these reviews as most people in this review section are quite negative and I want to talk about the positives. I'll be totally honest I nearly gave this a skip right before I started watching this due to the abundance of bad reviews but I thought let's just do it and am I glad I went with my gut to just watch it. I personally really enjoyed the concept they went with, basically, life as an entrepreneur with the romance mixed in as the main plot with also the budding relationships of friends and family.

I first heard of this Start-Up literally 10 months ago when it got announced since I am a vivid follower of Suzy so I watch all her drama's and keep up to date with her work so to say I nearly skipped this due to bad reviews after waiting 10 months would've been a disservice to myself.

First, of, I want to talk about Suzy's character, Seo Dal Mi. I actually really liked her character as she wasn't just so weak character who relied on the main male lead but she was actually in the limelight and the biggest reason why the company she was a CEO for was a success. I loved how hardworking she was and was trudging through life after basically being ditched by her mother and sister and stayed with her father and grandmother which in my opinion is a better choice than In Jae's in which she does eventually go back. Jea's choice consisted of being riched and having money with no real happy relationships while Dal Mi's choice was being poor but having strong relationships with the people around her especially her Grandmother. If there's any character I would like to be like in this drama it would be Dal Mi but I'm more like Do San which I'll talk about later. She really deserved the success she gained in the end which showed through her hard work. When she decided to let go of Do San by intentionally being harsh to her it was mature because she wanted him to succeed and not be held back but just like Do San I would've rather stayed behind and continue my relationships with the people around me already.

Nam Joo Hyuk portrayed Do Sans character really when and we know he played upbeat characters really well so Do San was a perfect match for him in my opinion. Nam Do San's character really hit home to me as I related to him quite a lot in his personality aspect. I can be loud and confident with the people I feel comfortable with but I can seem weak around people I feel inferior to and can sometimes have low self-esteem. Do San as a character was really fun to watch as they make you want to root for him. In the first episode, I thought he wasn't the main male lead as they didn't even show him but it was actually quite a smart move as we were interested who is this Nam Do San character that got mentioned and teases throughout the episode but they gave us the impression he was a big shot who was rich but that was far from the truth, he was a guy in his 20s trying to push his company forward and become successful. His journey throughout the show is an interesting one because he instantly has to let go of his pride by giving away the CEO position to Dal Mi and he faced multiple knockdowns which affected his self-esteem which was really sad to see since he always compared himself to Han Ji Pyung but eventually became confident in himself after going to LA and coming back but even after that he needs validation from Dal Mi so I wished from an outside view that he was more confident with himself but it did do the story well and added to his character development in the end.

The romance between Dal Mi and Do San was actually fun to watch as visually they were amazing and chemistry wise it was also amazing. There was something that confuses me but I don't quite understand when their 'day 1' was because in kdramas you can kinda see when it started, but in they literally held hands in episode 4 but they weren't dating but ill guess it was when they kissed onto of the roof when Do San smashed the CEO plaque of In Jae's father.

Han Ji Pyung character was actually well written after putting some thought into it. I swear drama screenwriters all have this idea that they will make the 3rd person in the love triangle which is usually a male gracefully give up on the main female which makes us respect and like the character. But to be honest I only ever disliked him in two events of this drama and for the rest, he was a really good character even though he was helping SamSan Tech just because Dal Mi was there but I do have a thought that an inkling inside really believed in the company rather than just wanting Dal Mi wanting to do good. You could say he had an unrequited love which was obvious to everyone but Dal Mi. He was a very critical character who always spoke the harsh truth without really thinking of the consequences but we know he just wanted to help and see the best for them. He made a good point to Dal Mi at the end of the show in which makes me think 'why didn't I think of that', but he said when he read the letters it took him 15 years to find him but when Do San read them it took him literally a day after to find her in which it might sound like an excuse to Dal Mi but it was a very true point which only shows his gracefulness in the end.

Seo In Jae character was also a character which was interesting because they make us dislike her but you also could not say she was wrong with any of the points he made as they were all true. I really like her development as she went from someone who didn't really care about Dal Mi and boasted her choice and became someone likeable to Dal Mi and us the viewer as we saw her become independent from her step-father and eventually took her Seo family name back.

The supporting cast in Start-Up was really good as it had a good set of characters. First off the SamSan Tech team were all a pleasure to watch and we saw a budding relationship between Sa Ha and Cheol San which we did not expect as they jokingly had Cheol San hit on her but she eventually like him. Seol Mi's grandmother was also a gem to watch as you could tell that she really cared for her grand-daughter.

The OST in Start-Up was actually really good. I love how when Suzy does dramas she always adds her own voice to the OST tracklist which just makes her more multi-talented even though she was a singer first. I loved the OST cast which concluded of; Red Velvet, Suzy, OhMyGirl, Cheeze, BOL4, Gaho and 10cm etc.

Overall I really enjoyed this drama and I would highly recommend you to watch this despite the bad review and make your own opinions rather than joining bandwagons. Also if you want to watch a drama about entrepreneurs and life with romance as well then I really recommend this drama as it also has a stellar cast that made this drama what it is.

Normally I'm scared to dive into dramas that are longer than 20 episodes because so many things can change throughout the show in terms of relationships because believe It or not I like stability in shows I watch but I know I can't have that in kdramas. But this show has truly proven me wrong and prevailed. This drama is a story about the life of Hong Gil Dong from when he was a child to when he turned into an adult and it shows the people around him. I truly loved the cast and there were so many characters in this show and I only truly didn't like 1 character to be honest and that was Nok Su.

I'll be honest I came to this show for a breath of fresh air and Chae Soo Bin but I did not know I would end up falling in love with Yoon Kyung Sang (Hong Gil Dongs actor)

The amount of character development we see Gil Dong go through is amazing. We see him in his adolescent years to where is a clueless boy of the world and wants to become a trader who travels Joseon. Then we see him when he has grown up to see that he has achieved his dream of traveling around Joseon as a peddler, but here he is still immature and doesn't know about the world. He falls in love with Nok Su but ends up getting left by her but to his surprise, Ga Ryeong waited for him to return, and there on he falls in love with Ga Ryeong to end up marrying. When he finally starts getting involved with world politics he starts to see people for what they really are. After his father, A-Mo-Gae died everyone didn't know what to do and who to follow but they all ended up following Gil Dong after realising his strength and his growth. We see Gil Dong be at the highest of highs to be thrown to the lowest of lows to the point he is below the lowest he could be but he fights through all that to prevail and show prowess as a leader to the people of Joseon and showed that even if you're born as the son of a slave you can still rise up. When he gives his big speech when he is fighting Mo Ri, he even gains the hearts of nobles which just shows how much influence he has over people. At times I wished he had a backbone but after finishing the show I realised when he didn't fight back it was only more gratifying to see him win battles due to his character development.

Chae Soo Bin played Ga Ryeon flawlessly in my opinion, I truly do love her as an actress. She played a character in which at first just follows Gil Dong but she eventually gains the strength to fight for Gil Dong thinking he was dead and even dared to harm the king. She wasn't just simply that damsel in distress character you would expect her to be but she actually had her own time to shine. When she was tied to a pole and said to Gil Dong if he quits just for her, she will hate him forever and even took an arrow to the chest in which she didn't die from because she fought against it.

The romance between Gil Dong and Ga Ryeong was just perfect, It literally took them 16 episodes to get together and that is the length of a normal kdrama which just shows how much development they both must've gone through to get to that point. Their romance was slow but satisfying, When they married it was just so adorable that Ga Ryeong married the man that she has loved ever since they first met which was around 5-10 years prior to them getting married.

There is always an MVP character for me which cant be out of the two main leads and that was Mo-Ri for me. He was a character in which Gil Dong had to face time and time again due to his persistence and even though he was an enemy you can't help but just enjoy his character. When he finally gains his strength back from which it seems she got it back after thinking about Ga Ryeong in which it was weird that he liked her but in the end, it served as a plotline for him. His and Gil Dong's relationship was weird as they both let each other live multiple times and they even like the same girl. The only thing which was weird is that they don't explain why he had the strength of a mighty child-like Gil Dong in which was connected to that shaman, but I guess it added to the rivalry between the two.

There were many characters throughout the drama which I genuinely enjoyed watching on screen; they range from Gil Hyeon and Eo Ri Ni who were Gil Dong's siblings and I loved both of their character arcs, the whole Hong family crew were just amazing to watch as they supported Gil Dong beside him throughout the show even after A-Mo-Gae died in which just shows their loyalty. Even the King's character was fun to watch as he was actually a good king at first but his hatred for those who belittled his mother made him do evil acts and his mind deteriorated while fighting Gil Dong.

The OST in this drama was just simply amazing. The OST 'If Spring Comes' was one of the best ones, whenever this song came on your knew nothing bad was going to happen and you could simply enjoy the song and the scene it accompanied. Then the OST 'Spring of Ikhwari' was like the song in which rallied everyone in this song and was just a feel-good song. The song 'Call it Love' in which I didn't know it was sung by Chae Soo Bin was just amazing as well as it came on whenever Gil Dong and Soo Bin were having their moments together.

I am honestly so glad we got a good ending for 'Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People' The scenes that they showed at the start to where Gil Dong shot Ga Ryeong gave us the idea that she died but she actually lived and they ended up having two children. I'll admit I was having a hard time finding a good drama to watch recently as I dropped like 3+ shows in a row so I came to a historical show and it just gave me the reason why I watch kdramas.

Overall this show is just amazing and inspiring to watch. Gil Dong goes from being an immature child to a leader who is revered by the people of Joseon. If you're looking for a drama in which has an inspiring main lead who goes through many obstacles, If you want a drama with an amazing cast and also want a bit of romance then I recommend this in a heartbeat, and don't be disheartened by the length of 30 episodes as it will not disappoint you.

This is my first Japanese drama review I will be writing. Koizora you could say is my breakthrough drama for jdramas and my god I’m glad had this drama. I’ve read lots of manga for romance and I was addicted to them so having a drama which can give me the same feelings were amazing.

The two main characters in “Koizora” were both in their own ways inspiring.

First off Hiro, he may seem rough around the edges on the outside but on the inside he is one of the sweetest characters in this show. I liked how upbeat and caring he was and once he met Mika, his life was basically all about her. Hiro wasn’t Hiro without Mika you could say. When it came to the point of the story where he got diagnosed with cancer, he decided to make Mika hate him and break up with her so she doesn’t get upset over his illness and didn’t want her to be in pain. This says a lot about Hiro’s character as he just wants Mika to be happy, Mika even got a new boyfriend but Hiro was fine as long as Mika was happy. When Hiro was facing his last seconds the last thing he wanted to see was Mika smiling at him in which was so saddening to see. Even though they so earnestly wanted to be with each other, fate had something else in mind and took Hiro away.

Mika is the prime definition of character development. At first she was a sheltered child who thought she didn’t want anything else in life but when she met Hiro her life changed and she started wishing for happiness with another person. When Mika conceived a child with Hiro she was so mature with it and wanted to keep it with Hiro but unfortunately she had a miscarriage due to being pushed down on the floor by Saki which is very sad. In the last episode we see Saki at the end of the show pregnant and Mika asked if she could touch it and said I hope you grow up well which says so much about her and shows how mature she is.

One of the things I love in this drama was how supportive the parents were in this, even when Maki was pregnant they supported her even if it took them a while to accept it. They wholeheartedly supported Maki and Hiro’s relationship which is very rare for some dramas based in Asia. I’m used to watching kdramas and for some reason there is this stupid trope to where parents are just so unreasonable so that’s what I like about jdramas over kdramas.

The OST in Koizora was very fitting for this type of drama. I loved the main theme that played at the end of each episode which added emotion to the episode. Also the instrumentals were all also very good.

Overall I loved this drama and it was a very good gateway drama to get into Japanese dramas and I will get definitely watch more in the future.

When I first watched this show last year I didn't get to write a review for it since I wasn't writing reviews back then to put down my thoughts, so all my thoughts of the drama back then can't be replicad but the feelings I felt watching the drama a second go round are just as good if not better since I know the actors alot more this time round. My main reason of watching "Remember" the first time round was the actor Yoo Seung Ho who is one of my favourite actors to date and I loved his stellar performance in this. I came back to this show to re-experience the emotions I felt the first time but in my opinion it was better because I overlooked some of the acting of other actors due to my tunnel vission on Yoo Seung Ho which isn't a entirely a bad thing in my opionion.

Throughout the drama the theme of revenge drives the plot to the end as the ML who has limited time is trying to put Nam Gyu Man in prison because he caused his father to recieve the death sentence and be treated poorly which lead to his death. There are other genres in the drama such as Romance which wasn't teh main focus but certainly gave us eye candy since Yoo Seung Ho and Park Min Young look amazing together, the main genre was law as this drama was a court room drama at it's essence with the drive of revenge pushing the story.

Seo Jin Woo as a character is one of the most admirable characters I have seen , his life just can't catch a break. What people wouldv'e thought as a blessing to where he has hyperthemisia which is where you can remember any event in vivid detail but infact it's a curse to him because he also get alzheimer's. His ability to remember only just speeds up the symptoms to the point they show at the age of 23 which is very young. Overally he was a very smart and brave character who kept his convictions throughout the entire story and never betreayed himself. Revenge was the thing which drove him throughout teh show but through the journey he went through, he met some people and formed some amazing bonds, but his biggest bond that he formed was with Lee In Ah, in which was the only person in which belived him even at the very start of the story where no one would believe him. His relationship with her is quite sad because they love eachother but it would inevitably end due to Jin Woo forgetting about her which is a sad thought because he was only 23. The decision to let go of all the people around him and In Ah was very mature and selfless of him because he knows firsthand how sad and lonely it can be when someone you love doesn't remember you and can be saddening so for the sake of the people around him he left without a trace.

Lee In Ah was a character who doesn't have any special ability to remember anything or any wealth which gives her power so that in it self emphasises all her actions in the drama because if Gyu Man was determined he could ruin her life and the people around her. When she first met Jin Woo as a college student, she was very naive in a way as she only saw the things in front of her and never thought about the things she doesn't see but after meeting Jin Woo her whole midnset changed and she started to take things more seriously and ultimatly became a prosecuter because of Jin Woo but also because an attourney because of Jin Woo. You could say that In Ah wouldv'e done anything for Jin Woo if he allowed it but he knew she would only hurt so he let her go.

Nam Gyu Man's actor Nam Goong Min did an amazing job depicting a whiney chabeol who belives he is the law and nothing wrong will happen to him. Everytime he had an outbreak of anger his acting was just perfect .

The OST in this show was just perfect for the show and I mean that. The instrumentals especially shone in this show as it made the scenes alot more dramatic. Also the OST played when Jin Woo got the not-guilty verdict for his dad made me feel so emotional since it just highlights how much he has put in and he can finally rest easy with his life,

Overall this show is just one of my favourite shows as it stars many actors I addore watching on the screen and also my favourite actor of all time Yoo Seung Ho and that will not change for a long time and you would need someone better than perfect to take that top spot. If your looking for a law drama driven be revenge with a hint of romance, this show is just for you.

Simply Amazing

"Flower of Evil" is simply one of the best shows I have watched to this date. This sounds very biased but if at the end of the show, if they went thier seperate ways I wouldv'e given this show a 9.5 and not a 10. That's how much I wanted a good ending and thank the heavens I got what I wanted. This drama is literally everything I couldv'e want in a kdrama; I love the whole ML is a "Evil" charcater and he slowly shows himself to someone close to him, also the whole suspense part hits every point it should do in a suspense thriller. This is personally my favourite Suspense Triller show, it even has romace between the two main characters in which just adds to the dynamics of this drama.

When I first saw the drama's synopsis it basically shouted my name since this is my type of kdrama, also it has my favourite female actress as the main female Moon Chae Won in which i was patiently waiting for another drama from her and here I got it.

First off Do Hyun Soo, in which in my opinion is the most complex character in this show. He had a horible past which atributed to his Anti Personality Disorder and also the people around him. I've realised after watching this and another drama similar to this called "Come and Hug Me" in which the ML father is a pyschopath like Hyun Soo's father that both fathers tried to make thier son just like them calling them a piece of art and tried to mold them to however they want. But in both dramas they both get saved by the girl that they love. In Hyun Soo's case it was a bit more complicated than just "Love" but he instinctivly loved Cha Ji Won even if he didn't realise it and even if he said he didn't love her because he believes that he doesn't know the feeling of love so he can't know if he feels it. Halfway through the show when his identity was found out and he had that breakdown that he would have to leave Ji Win, we see him cry for the first time and I had to search online can people with ASPD cry and it seems that they can feel sadness in a way. Due to him have enhanced cognitive abilities, he can read peoples emotions and this is how he never had fights with Ji Won because she would detect if she was feeling anoyed an knew exactly what she wants.

Cha Ji Won was all I couldv'e asked for in a FL, and also she was played by the amazing Moon Chae Won in which I want to watch her future dramas and any work she does. Ji Won as a character was a very straightforward person as she insisted that Hyun Soo liked her and put her feelings out there, but this was a trait I actually like because it meant that they had no misunderstandings. In a way she is very naive and a bit dumb because when she first met him she didn't realise the fact he was a bit wierd and also his past that he described to her. You could say that "Love" blinded her senses and made her just see the man infront of her. Even when she found out that Hee Seong was Hyun Soo she still believed him with what he said which just shows how much she loves him and wants to trust him.

Ji Won and Hyun Soo's child is literally so cute and when we see the 3 of them hug at the end of the show, it made me cry tears of hapiness which I can't remember the last time I felt that.

This might be the first time to where I trully liked the antogonist, not liked in the fact I rooted for him, but liked in the fact he was a good enemy for Hyun Sooand Ji Won. He was very meticulous with himself to the point he was in control of his parents and was quite samrt but his downfall was that he was stuck in 2005 and didn't realise that technology has advanced and got caught on a dash cam. Hyun Soo's father is also a big character in this show even if he wasn't shown much, this was because he had such a big impact in Hyun Soo to the point Hyun Soo would see him even after he died and be kind of controlled for a bit.

The OST in this show was literally so good, I love when dramas have only a few OST and all 3 are so good, they all have different vibes in the fact they all carry different emotions which can carry a scene and just make you sucked into the world.

Overall this show is so good and you should watch it no matter what your tastes are because this drama will give you a new breath of fresh air as I belive thier is not a show like this ( Well besides "Come and Hug Me" in which had similar cases with the pyshopath father and the son who isn't "normal" but get saved by people they love). If there really is a show like this please tell me and I would love to watch it.

After finding out that the writer of Stranger and also the Male Lead in Stranger were going to be in this drama, plus the addition to Lee Dong Wook who I know is a very good actor. I knew I was into a very good drama just from all those factors alone. When starting the show I thought it was just going to be about Jin Woo fighting against injustice ( Which you could say it was ), but infact this story was about many things; the power struggle between the doctors and Hwajeong, the relationships between the characters and also the mental health of others.

This wasn't my first drama for alot of the actors in this drama so I knew what to expect with the actors and also the writing since it's made by a trustworthy writer. Every character in this show had a play in the story no matter how big it was.

With the Main character in my eyes, Jin Woo. He basically represents the set of people who are not in a high position and who are also vunerable to people high on the ladder and shows us what to do. I really liked his character in this story because he wasn't overly cocky nor too much of a push over. His relationships throughout the show were fun to watch and I liked to see how they developed throughout the drama. His relationship with his brother was truly beautiful in my opinion it's how all relationships with brothers should be. The last scene between the brothers honestly nearly made me cry because how touching it was because Seon Woo really like the ocean so to just see them having fun was nice to see. Jin Woo romance in this was also cute to watch although it's not the main focus, it gave both us and Jin Woo a breather from all the politics happening in the hospital, I really like the actor who play Seo Hyun which was Jin Woo's love intrest and I've seen her in only one past drama so I will definatly watch more of her stuff. Also the imaginary Seon Woo which Jin Woo made in his head was also quite sad to see because even though it's Seon Woo on the outside, everything he said was just what Jin Woo was thinking even if he didn't say it outloud or in his head, Seon Woo basically told him. I also like how he confided in Seo Hyun about the Seon Woo in his head and she accepted it and asked to meet him so that probably removed a huge weight of his chest.

Now with the second Main character with was Goo Seung Hyo, I actually really liked his character, one reason was because I got to see a didfferent side of teh actor who played Hwang Si Mok in Stranger who was a pretty 2D charater due to him not feeling emotions. Seung Hyo was basically the proxy antogonist in this show, I say proxy because he begins to changed ever soo slightly due to the introduction of Lee No Eul in which was the first person he became intrested in. He acted all tough all tough and acted like nothing affected him but on the inside he is actually soft and care about things and that's what No Eul saw in him and that's why she started to like him. I'll admit at first I wasn't a fan of thier ship because I felt bad for Seon Woo but as time went on I started to like the ship ( Only took me 16 episodes to realise that and I wished I liked it from the start).

The OST in the show was quite standard as nothing particually stood out to me but I did enjoy it as it added to the scenes.

Overall I really enjoyed this drama as it was a nice switch up from the Romace Drama which I allways watch as Romance is my favourite genre. This show and Stranger made me appreciate non-romance center based plots and I will definetly watch more of shows like these where they focus more on the world building rather than the Relationship between the two leads.

It wouldv'e been a diservice if I didn't write a review for this amazing Drama. 'Mr Sunshine' is a literal one of a kind drama in which I dont think we will see a drama like this one for a long time. I'm from england so I couldn't fully sympathize with hoe bad Koreans were treated because the drama shines light on historical events, but even I got annoyed at the Japanese soldiers for the tyranny they spread throughout Joseon.

This show did something ambitious and it was to make it multi-lingual to where they have multiple languages present in the show, they were; Korean, Japanese, English and French. I can only imagine how hard it was to get a cast for this show because they needed to be multilingual. Eugene's role especially because he spoke Korean, Japanese and English fluently in this show. Also, even though I disliked the Japanese characters I have to admit their acting was very good and just made the show better.

Within this show there was a clear 5 main characters and I loved each and every one of them. I loved the dynamics between Eugene, Dong Mae and Hui Sung. They all had the same women in thier heart but they just couldn't hate eachother in which Is why I loves the relationship they had. Normally in dramas thier are obnoxious characters who fight for love but neither Dong Mae and Hui Sung were bad, Dong Mae especially.

Eugene is a very complex character because he fled to America from Joseon and then comes back with America. It's quite sad for him because Koreans call him American while Americans call him Joseon so he got forced into a middle ground. Throughout the show he insisted that his motherland was America and acted on that belief throughout the whole show saying that. He even wouldn't ditch America for his love Ae Sin which shows how loyal he is to America. His relationship with Ae Sin was complicated in the fact that she was from an Aristrocrat family which means she's high up in terms of status so just the emotion of loving her was dangerous for him. You could say he got swayed by her but not fully. Even though Joseon ditched him, he still helped Joseon in some ways and I think purely that some of his actions were done for Ae Sin so she could survive. I knew that he wasn't going to live to the end of the show, it was foreshadowed alot to us with the whole 'Sad Ending' saying. So when he finally used his last bullet to save Ae Sin I coulnd't help but support his actions as it was for her safety.

Ae Sin is a very interesting character because since birth she was very interested in foreign affairs to the point she became a gunner to fight for Joseon to get thier independence back. She was also in a sticky position loving Eugene because she was engaged and also her family didn't think nicely of her having an American lover. It was my first drama that I watched from Kim Tae Ri and I was positevly suprised and I will watch out for more of her works. Her relationship with Eugene was so fun to watch because she was able to cool down and be happy when she was with him and one thing I loved was her smile and her laugh, they were just so adorable. When she said 'Mister Sunshine' that was also a powerful scene because she's basically saying that Eugene was her light and someone that lit her up. I loved how she wasn't just some weak character but she was strong and relied on herself to the point where it made Eugene look smaller than her but when Eugene stood up to the plate and sacrificed his life for her, that was the biggest act of love anyone can give to someone.

With both Eugene and Ae Sin, their relationship was amazing to watch as they had great chemisry, they wasn't the kind of couple in which kissed and showed their affection that way, all they wanted was to be with eachother and the way their relationship grew into something big was very fun to watch.

Now in my opinion, the dark horse character in this was Gu Dong Mae, I loved everysing part of his character. He portrayed a samurai amazinly and everytime he was on the screen it wasn't boring to watch. The way he was ruthless to everyone and didn't hesitate was a personality trait which defies him because of his harsh past. His relationship with Eugene was a wierd one because they both loved Ae Sin but they couldn't hate eachother as they grew fond of eachother. With Ae Sin, he was just fine seeing her and that was all it took to satify his love for her, with the whole debt thing in which Ae Sin met him every month on the 15th, that was just to see her. Personally he was my favourite character in the show and it was painful to see how pitiful he was as he faced death doors multiple times and couldn't get his love recipricated.

With Hui Sung, he was an MVP in this show as he was the one in which recorded all the events in history for people in the future to recognise the efforts and pain that Joseon went through. The sacrifices he made for Ae Sin and Eugene were very thoughtful and I truly believe that he is sincerly sorry to Eugene about what happened to his parents.

Hina was also a very good character due to how she did things and also her indescreet love for Dong Mae in which she probably realised too late before she died. I liked how independent she was and she could fend her own.

The relationship of Eugen, Dong Mae and Hui Song was very sad because Hina kept saying which out of the three would face sorrow but in the end they all died but in my opinion they did not feel sorrow because they all died for the cause of Ae Sin being alive and well and thats just what they wanted.

Even though the show does not have a 'Happy' ending per say, since the events on this drama are portraying what happened in the 1900s between Japan and Korea we know that eventually Joseon get thier indepence and become the Republic of Korea so Ae Sin acheived her goal of protecting Joseon even though we didn't see it we know it happens and we saw the hope at the very end of the show with her standing tall next to a Korean flag.

The OST in this show was very good as it created the mood and atmosphere for the show. Noticeable OST were from Sejeong, Ben and Kim Yuna which were all honestly amazing now that I'm listening to an OST right now and it makes me quite sad that I can't watch this anymore.

Overally if your looking for a very different kind of drama in which shows politics and love at the forefront then watch this show. This show also opes your eyes to some of the things that Korea had to endure against Japan.

Second Lead Syndrome Caught Me in 'Doctor Stranger'

There are many things I want to say about this drama. First off the whole cencept is very ambitious since it's doing a story including North Korea and how there were many times the main 2 leads couldv'e died. Also this is the first Drama and will probably be for a while in which I actually fell into the whole sencond lead syndrome, I generally supported Quack and Park Hoon for the forst half of the show and I really enjoyed thier interactions together.

This story has many coincedences between Park Hoon and Jae Hee in which they call fate but to be honest, in terms of this story I have to believe they were fated to be together, the amount of shit they had to go through to get to the happy ending was alot. Some people are saying it wouldv'e been better if Park Hoon and Jae Hee died and everyone accepted it, but since I'm such a sucker to good endings I was actually hoping thier was a good ending in which they both lived and they happily live thier lives together and that is what we got.

With Park Hoon, he really had a tough life and like Joon Jae said at the end of the show. Behind Park Hoon's happy exterior, he is going through a lot of pain and stress. During his time in North Korea after spliting up with Jae Hee, he had to work as a doctor in which sacrifices lives in order to increase his medical experience and knowledge, so he was unwillingly killing heathy people to grow. Throughout his time in South Korea I really enjoyed his character and when I thought he was going to give up and lay down, he comes back up and makes his comeback. This show had a severe case of second lead syndrome to the point I wanted it to happen, but this came with the fact that Jae Hee wasn't fully likable when she first came to South Korea. Park Hoon's relationship with Soo Hyeon (Quack) was a breath of fresh air from the tense and stressful relationship between Jae Hee and Park Hoon. Quack was very light hearted and her backstory just made me support her even more to teh point even Jae Hee tried to set them up at the end and would leave after everything is done. Soo Hyeon was what this drama and Park Hoon needed and even though they didn't work out, I was fine.

Jae Hee's character is very complex because she is originally from North Korea and falls in love with a South Korean, and also her family had very different political beliefs than what a North Korean should have so that got her put in a detention center. Near the end of the show when she was trying to push Hoon away, she said that she regrets holding onto Cha Jin Soo's hand to meet Hoon because she didn't know how much dnager it would put him in but her 'greed' which was longing to see Hoon was large. Her relationship with Hoon was actually nice to watch because it felt rewarding after seeing how much they went through for the whole show so when they first reconnected as Hoon and Jae Hee I was really happy that happened but felt a bit sorry for Soo Hyeon. Overall I liked her character but there were times where I found her infuriating when she tried to push Hoon away saying she was take all the pain basically just so Hoon and his mother would be fine, but now that I think of it, it's actually very mature of her and mustv'e took alot out of her.

I actually like the OST in this show, especially the one called 'Stranger' by Bobby Kim, that OST just shouts at me for being a good OST and everythime it came on I loved the song becausee the lyrics fit the theme of the show very well saying 'If your not here, I'm just a Stranger' Meaning that if Jae Hee isn't with Hoon, then he will feel like he doesn't belong anywhere and it's quite sad honestly.

If your loking for a drama in which is Star Crossed love typed romance with a heavy mix of medical and also a Second Lead Syndrome you can actually support then watch Doctor Stranger.

If I had to say something straightway after finishing this drama, I would say I regret watching it so quickly. I wish I took my time slowly and digested the show slowly. This might be the first show I’ve watched to where I cried at the end in happiness and also sadness at the same time because I won’t be able to watch this drama anymore. I want to say I wish it had more episodes but that’s just my selfish greed, this show having 12 episode were just perfect in my opinion. From the end of episode 2 when Ji Soo died, from that moment on I knew I had to write a review for this show when I finish it.

First off I want to talk about the overall genre and message the show conveys. It’s basically a show of healing and development by meeting new people and forming new bonds. The relationship between Ha Won and Seo Woo was so therapeutic to watch as they grew closer together gradually and didn’t rush anything, also their chemistry were just perfect. This drama only had a few characters so there were a lot of scenes for Ha Won and Seo Woo and that worked in the shows favour as it doesn’t delve into pointless story arcs and just focuses on its main characters.

With Ha Won Jung Hae In never disappoints, I’ve watched many of his dramas and I honestly love all his roles at this point. Ha Won as a character was very pitiful at first since he was in pain a lot and didn’t in particularly have anyone there for him since Ji Soo didn’t reciprocate his feelings back and also wouldn’t talk to him due to her guilt. When Ha Won meets Seo Woo his whole world changed you could say, his slow developing relationship with her saved him and healed his wounds per say. Ha Won as a character, we didn’t really see him cry that much, I probably cried more than him watching the drama. When Ji Soo died he didn’t even have a massive cry until a lot later down the line in which just shows that as a person he likes to suppress himself and act strong.

Chae Soo Bin did just perfect with Seo Woo, I really like the way they portrayed her throughout the show. She was the opposite of Ha Won in the fact that she is so open about her feelings and tells them straight out. There was honestly not a time to where I didn’t not like a decision she made in the show. Just like Ha Won, she was hurting from her past trauma because of the fire that killed her parents. She was able to confront that trauma because she knew that she had someone besides her which was Ha Won and they both relied on each other a lot through out the show.

The thing I liked the best about this show was honestly the relationship between Ha Won and Seo Woo. The way they slowly began to like each other and became each other’s bandage was amazing to watch. Out of all the melodramas I have watched I liked this couple the best when it comes to the theme of healing and self worth. You could see how much they loved each other just from how affectionate they were, they didn’t need to kiss all the time like in some other dramas. In this one all they needed was to be in each other’s presence and support each other when they needed it.

The device that Ha Won made actually has quite a lot of meaning to it once you realise what the response feature it. The way to get it to have a response feature was to say the thing in which saved that person from their rock bottom. With Ha Won, it was thunder because every time it would be thunder and lightning his mum would play the piano to calm him down and that’s what saved him. For Ji Soo it was the fact of a one sided love, In Wook’s one sided love saved her. With Seo Woo it was Mr.Dawn which was Ha Woo, they first met without knowing that Ha Woo was Ha Woo. She simply knew him as Mr.Dawn and his presence saved him and once Mr.Dawn become Ha Won, they’re relationship started there.

The OST in this drama was pretty standard like nothing stood out but they were good enough to create an atmosphere in scenes enough to make me cry. Honestly when Ji Soo died, it broke my heart because I honestly supported Ji Soo and Ha Won but it was the wrong choice after seeing the whole story and knowing who’s best for who.

If you looking for a drama about healing and character development this show is for you. I’m saying this right now but I will 100% rewatch this show one day because I simply found it a pleasure to watch and I want to see more scenes between Ha Won and Seo Woo so I will deeply miss this drama.

Everything about this show was perfect

'Hi, Bye Mama' to me was perfect in everyway, I found no faults with the drama. The whole premise of a mother dying for her baby then coming back to life 5 years later for 49 is very intresting but sad. This is the first show to where I can fully say I did not dislike a single character in the whole show. Normally I would dislike one of the leads in dramas due to the way they are put in the story but with this, instead of disliking them I loved them instead. I would normally not like Min Jeong because she'd be a threat to Yu Ri for getting back with Gang Hwa but instead she was the most graceful person here.

First off with Yu Ri, I couldn't feel anything but sorry for her. She died protecting Seo Woo and then lived as a ghost for 5 years watching over Gang Hwa and Seo Woo to make sure they were okay and what was heartbreaking was when anything bad was happening to them she couldn't do anything but watch because she cant talk nor touch them so she would just suffer while watching them. The whole 49 judgement days were quite cruel because halfway through I realised that it was judging her on wether she would be selfless or selfish and she was probably the most selfless person In the show, every action she did was for someone else and she wasn't greedy in the slightest. Her relationship with Seo Woo was really fun to watch but also heartbreaking aswell, in the 49 days she had Seo Woo didn't know she was her Mom and never called her Mom once so that mustv'e broke her heart everytime. When Yu Ri was saying goodbye to Seo Woo and Seo Woo said 'Goodbye Mom' that was the most saddest moment in the show because that was the first and last time she would hear the words 'Mom' from Seo Woo and it breaks my heart. Yu Ri literally makes us queation ourselves because in the fact that If we left now and came back for 49 days, would we do what she did and be selfless because I know for a fact 75% would be greedy and live thier life like they want to.

Gang Hwa character really hurts to watch at times because he went through 13 years of being with Yu Ri thinking he would grow old with her watching Seo Woo get married and live her life but instead in the blink of an eye his world gets torn down by the sudden death of his Wife. When he met Min Jeong and his time started to start again, he finally picked himself back up but in the back of his head when he was happy with her and every positive emotion he felt, he would be hit with a pang of guilt reminding himself of Yu Ri and he would feel terrible. His relationship with both Yu Ri and Min Jeong are both beautiful in thier own way and are both the lights in which make him feel better again. At the end of the show when he had to accept that Yu Ri is going to die again, you can clearly see that the time in which stopped 5 years ago has actually started again and whenever he thought of Yu Ri he would have a smile on his face.

Min Jeong in my opinion is such an amazing character, evrn though she didn't know Yu Ri was Seo Woo's mom she treated her like a best friend and was glad to have met her. When she found out that Seo Woo's mom has been her friend for a while and it was Yu Ri I have no possible idea how she must of felt when she cried. She loved Seo Woo even though that she didn't give birth to her but despite that she did. She was consistantly very caring and kind throughout the whole show and we never saw a bad side of her. Min Jeong was a main character but was a secondary main and normally I don't like them at first and they get redeemed later on but not once did I not like her, her relationship with Yu Ri was beautiful and after she Yu Ri died again she probably cherished those moments and loved Seo Woo and Gang Hwa even more so Yu Ri didn't have to worry about them.

Just quickly with Seo Woo, I'm going to guess that she got told that the pretty aunt that she was with when she was five was her birth mother as at the end we see that she kept the picture of her and her dad inside the book so that she wouldn't forget her. She probably considers both Yu Ri and Min Jeong as her moms and will cherish them both,

I want to quickly talk about the ghosts. Even though they were not main characters, whenever they had a story to tell I cried for them which is unlike me because I normally only care about the main but the way they told the story of the ghosts and treated them as indivuals with thier own story was amazing. Especially that kid at the start who was the cause of Seo Woo going into the freezer, that kids story had me crying more than any main lead I have cried to which showed just how much thish show cared for its casts.

The OST was just perfect for this show, I liked how they didn't overuse them and used just the right ones for the right moment so the scene would feel more special and that was probably one of the reasons why I cried so much during my time watching this drama.

Overall this drama was just amazing, If your looking for a Romantic Comedy then this is not teh show for you, This show is more a show of healing and shows us what someone would do if they died unfairly and had 49 days to live left. If your looking for a show where you want to like whole cast and love the story without feeling empty at the ending I whole heartedly wish you would watch this show and give it a try.

Wow. This show was amazing, it's right up my alley for a shows I'd like to watch in the future. Firstoff when I read the synopsis about a killer turned vet and a detective who is trying to capture a serial killer to where their relationship builds from having known eachother in the past and then meeting again, I was very intriqued to watch it and my god am I glad I watched it. I've put this drama off for about 2-3 weeks now and I thought I would watch it.

With the male lead Soo Hyun I loved his character, the actor Jang Ki Yong who played did an amazing job doing the role. Jang Ki Yong is probably one of the actors to depict characters who have a dark side to them, his facial expressions work magic on the on screen and his psycotic smile he gives off makes him perfect for these kind of roles. Soo Hyun's character was quite pitiful in this show though, he was only born to donate his bone marrow and didn't even get named and got thrown away to some russian killer to be taken care of. To be honest, killing people is always bad but I couldn't help but support him throughout the show and be exited to see what he's going to do next. His relationship with Seul Gi is quite ill fated in the fact that Pavel killed her grandfather and then Soo Hyun ends up looking after her in which she realises who he is and forgives him because she knows he's a good person at heart. I can understand why he only confided in animals and that was because they can't really betray you and hurt you compared to humans who follow human nature. His whole goal to finding out his past and then saving the children was quite pitiful to watch at times because he couldv'e just lived a normal life but they mattered more to him than anything else untill he got attached to Hyun Jin and Seul Gi.

Hyun Jin's character was also a pretty good character. She didn't really do much for me compared to Soo Hyun but I liked how she wished it wasn't Soo Hyun who was the serial killer because she had hope that he was the same kid who she knew as a child. Her relationship with Soo Hyun was ill fated because she was the person trying to capture the serial killer and it just turned out to be Soo Hyun, I did like thier interactions but I'm glad there was no romantic actions involved because it would of been a lot more messier than it allready was for them. I could tell that they both had some sort of feelings for eachother due to thier actions throughout the show.

The OST was standard but what stood out was the instrumentals that added a felling of tension and axienty to some scenes. Out of all the shows I've watched this show might be out 3 shows in which gave me a churning feeling in my stomach and a fast heartbeat and I don't know fully why but some of teh reason would go the atmosphere that this show created.

If your looking for an action, thriller show that has an emphasis on the relationship on 2 sides of the same coin, Soo Hyun on one and Hyun Jin on the other and how see how thier story pits them against eachother pyschologically even though they like eachother I highly reccomend this show.

I will most definetly rewatch this show one day as it's a short show in which was a great watch and I loved the main leads especially Jang Ki Yong and NaNa.

Give the drama time

I can't lie, I did not like this drama ar first. The main female lead was so annoying I couldn't even fathom it, she was pushy and loud to the point it was just boring to watch. But around ep5 after the backstory episode, Chae Ro Woon did a 180 and she started to become likable.

The whole revenge story didn't really go anywhere as it got changed but i'm glad they didn't venture into that any further because Ro Woon wouldv'e became more unlikable. The whole storyline about her sister was quite interesting though, with the fact they made us think that she like U-il but he like Hwang Gi but in the back of my mind I allready guessed it to be fully honest.

With the male lead Hwang Gi, I really enjoyed his character because I can relate to him so much because I have a hard time communicating with people aswell so it was so intresting seeing it at a 3rd person sperpective and I learned it can create misunderstandings and can be annoying to some people. Hwang Gi is probably one of the most thoughtful male leads i've watched as he watched over Ro Woon for 3 years and also let her take her revenge and let it be. When He starts to change due to Ro Woon it actually made me very happy because he was able to speak his mind because when he's by himself he's very lively like me so I understand him so much so when he did that presentation or talk to his Silent Monster team it was so fun to watch. Watching Hwang Gi's character actually inspired me and I want to be like him someday to where I can express myseld freely.

Now with the female lead Chae Ro Woon, I detested her character at first. She was loud, obnoxious, pushy and had every bad trait a female lead could have. In episode 4 when Hwang Gi did his presentation, she realised that theres more to him than meets the eye and when she finds out more about him, she starts to mellow down but we all know this is because they changed the scripts because she was so annoying so I cant imagine how the story wouldv'e been if they didn't change it. One thing I liked about her new character is that she was really understanding of Hwang Gu's problem and helped him in the end, she even went as far as to forgiving him for her sisters death after realising how much he has done for her in the last year to make sure she wasn't lonely.

The main romance was actually quite fun to watch, the two had amazing chemistry, whenever they were in scenes together, they didn't have a bording scene after episode 4. Out of all the dramas i've watched these two would have to be in the top twenty couple becasue I loved the dynamic they were in, the male was introverted while the female was highly extroverted so they balanced eachother out really well.

With the secondary leads, they were your standard secondary leads to be honest. With U-il I really didn't like him at first due to his stupid decisions and his way of putting down Hwang Gi who was trying to change. But he did start to become likable near the end of the show due to telling people teh truth. With Yi So, I just felt really sorry for her, she was a victim aswell since she got betrayed. When she told Ro Woon's sister to disapear we all know she didn't mean that literally and she was just flustered. She was actually having a really hard time to where she felt suicidle and even resorted to self-harm. I actually like her character and I like her brother-sister bond with Hwang Gi.

The Silent Monster team was such a good cast as they made the show lighthearted but it was sometimes annoying when they misunderstood Hwang Gi. They were all diverse and had thier own personalities which was fun to watch,

There were 2 OSTs that were consistant and they were fun to listen to, there's not much to say about them to be honest.

Overall if you can get over the 4 episode slump at the start then I really reccomend you to watch this show because once you get over that hurdle. The two main leads are really enjoyable to watch as they have great chemistry.

I really can't get over how good this drama was. The story and the OST were both amazing but was amazed me the most was the characters, they chose just the right actors and they portrayed the characters amazingly well that I can't think of any other actors who would have this same chemistry that the 3 leads had.

The story was very intresting because it's not your everyday kdrama story, all 3 leads are hurting inside due to past trauma. The characters really stand out in this show. I loved how they added a flair of horror and thriller into the story with certain aspects like the whole person humming in the hospital and also Mun Yeongs mum being introduced and let me say this, I have never been so shocked in my life for a reveal like that becasue you would not expect it to be the head nurse who looked really kind and also looked nothing like the mom we see in the flashback scenes.

First of with Gang Tae, I really enjoyed his character becasue on the outside he was a was character but on the inside he was hurting a lot. For 20 years Gang Tae had to look after his autistic brother by moving from place to place and changing workplace just so they can live a decent life. When Gang Tae was a child I felt sorry for him because he got neglected as a child because his mom having to look after Sang Tae. When he finally starts to open up and take off his mask after meeting Mun Yeong, you could say that the time that was paused for him has finally resumed and he can start to emjoy his life again. This is also my second drama seeing Kim Soo Hyun act since 'My love froma star' which was my second ever drama so yeah its been a long time and I really loved seeing him in a drama again.

Mun Yeong was such an amazing character, she was so complex yet so simple at the same time. We first see her as a cold hearted person who doesn't know how to love and is wanting love from someone because she's been alone for her whole life since 20 years ago. We start to see glimses of how shes really living in episode 4 when she has a nightmare and Gang Tae found her and hugged her to clam her down and this event really showed us and Gang Tae how much Mun Yeong is suffering and how much help she needs. When she was a child, she got the exact opposite to Gang Tae and recieved too much love to the point you could call it obssesive love from her mother as she was shaping Mun Yeong to her liking. When she met Gang Tae as a child we could see the realy Mun Yeong as a child but then when we thought it was okay, her mom stopped her from metting him so she couldn't change. Something I loved about Mun Yeong was how much she accepted Sang Tae who had autism and became his bestfriend. I know that it's hard to handle someone with a autism like Sang Tae and could emphasise on both ends. I saw Seo Ye Ji in 'Lawless Lawyer' and I didn't know she had this side to her so I will definetly watch more of her dramas for sure.

Both Mun Yeong and Gang Tae had amazing chemistry as they were opposites and they went hand in hand since they brought out the hidden side of eachother. Thier romance was really heartwarming to watch because they had to face many obstacles and they jumped them all and at the end of the finish line there was a happy ending.

Now with Sang Tae's characters, he made this drama seem that much more real. He was such a pleasure to watch and had such amazing character development. He went from saying he owns Gang Tae and noone can have him to saying that Gang Tae belongs to Gang Tae which it was probably really hard for him to accept that reality but after seeing his brothers smiling face when he was asleep he realised this it was his real happy face looked like and he couldn't help but admire it. This scene really made me tear up becasue this was the scene that made Sang Tae realise how beautiful his brothers realy smiling face looks like. When we first see Sang Tae, we see him as a persone who wasn't independent and needed people to help him but near the end when he got over his fear of butterflies her gained his independence and ever left his family to go work on illistrations which showed us how much he grew up.

These 3 leads were amazing to watch as the trio had such amazing chemistry and I cant think of another trio in a Kdrama that are better than these 3. I will really miss watching this drama and I will for sure rewatch it in the future to relive the joy I got from watching it.

The OST was very good as we got OSTs from Heize which is always amazing to see and also the OST 'In Silence' and 'Im Your Pyscho' By Jannet Suhh were amazing, she really pulled it out of the bag in this drama.

If your looking for a warmhearted healing melodrama with amazing acting and an amazing cast then i reccomend this drama becasue it will really make you lose ypur thoughts on the real world and focus entirely on the Drama becasue it will really make you forget your thoughts on the real world and focus entirely on the Drama's world.
